Rev 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. The Nicolaitans receive two mentions in the Bible and both are here in Revelation. History does not record what their offence was. Though many have speculated what their offence might be I would not...

A study of the terms "whore" and "harlot" as they occur in the Bible is very enlightening and will be useful as we move forward in this book.

Indeed, one would hope all might see the 7 candles on the menorah offered in the O.T. and the one mentioned In Revelation to all that had ears to hear were one and the same. I fear that's not always the case though. Not everyone has ears to hear it would appear.

4Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6But this thou...

Rev 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou...

To carry the economic analogy a step further, our monetary system was once based on and backed by gold and silver (read here The Lord) as was and is still set forth in our constitution. While we were lured into war in 1913 and 1933 our politicians incrementally replaced this arrangement with a...

"The difference between the market value of a property and the claims held against it" I think you're missing the most important and primary meaning of the word in question. We claim Christ and He increases the value of His property which we are. Our faith in Him offsets the disparity in equity...

It would appear that ALL that is in the earthly plane is a mere shadow of a thing that has it's true nature and form, expressed in it's fullness, in the heavenly realm. Take baptism as an example; getting dunked in water is not what saves you ... it is an earthly symbol of that that process that...

Before leaving chapter one I'd like to review it's last three verses: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. 19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be...

Please forgive me for intruding upon the sanctity of your perfection. I won't do it again.

Growth can only happen with those who allow for the possibility. For those that don't, life becomes an ongoing effort to resist the erosion that time inevitably visits to most all cherished notions and, as in "Ground Hog Day", we wind up reliving the same day over and over and over. Rather than...

I would respectfully suggest that Revelation proffers two judgements; the judgement of the earth at the beginning of it and the judgment of man at the end of it ... as will hopefully be illustrated before this effort has reached it's terminus.

I suspect you're right. I have long said that we tend to look at prophecy as some sort of switch that is suddenly flipped. We don't see it as something that happens gradually so as not to alert those who would avoid it if they saw it for what it was, namely, boiling the frog a degree at a time...

It is with some trepidation that I broach the subject of women and their sense of smell. As someone who has earned their living remodeling, my experience has taught me that women have a keener sense of smell than us guys and they are usually the one to alert their husband that they have a septic...

1 Pet 1:6Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the...

If you live long enough you go through bad and good. Live longer still and you begin to see the reasons for it. "With out a hurt the heart is hollow."

It would appear that Catholics are not the only ones struggling to process the most recent actions of their leadership. https://calvinrobinson.substack.com/p/the-methodist-church-turn-away-from
