Algunos acontecimientos de la historia de la iglesia, como la reforma y el gran despertar, han sido similares a los eventos descritos en el libro de Esdras y por los profetas Hageo y Zacarías. Cuando un remanente salió de Babilonia y regresó a Jerusalén con los vasos del Señor, restauraron el altar, pusieron las bases, y reconstruyeron la casa del Señor.

The ark is a representation of Christ and of how our reconciliation with God the father is made possible. The tabernacle of David depicts the heavenly realm touching the earth and is a living, prophetic parable of how we may come into a direct and personal relationship with God through Christ without intermediary clergy or religious, legalistic ritual. The once-and-for-all blood sacrifice at Calvary was required in order to put the new covenant into effect.

Minutes before, the prosecutor had made his opening statement projecting only hatred and contempt toward my father, a missionary charged with rebellion. The police had arrested him the night before by covertly setting a trap. The press had already shamed and ridiculed him nationally and internationally, proclaiming his guilt on headline news before the hearing had even begun. He could face the trial (and be charged with 15 years or more in prison if she declared him guilty), or leave Colombia forever.

The book of Job fits chronologically between Genesis and Exodus, describing events that took place more than 150 years before Moses wrote the Pentateuch. Job was the first book to be written in fully developed Hebrew, and it is undoubtedly one of the first books in the history of mankind. In the end Satan, along with his cruel tactics, subtle deception, and even his system for world domination is completely exposed. Much of the book, however, is written in code that is prophetic of what is happening and about to happen today.

The book of Job fits chronologically between Genesis and Exodus, describing events that took place more than 150 years before Moses wrote the Pentateuch.

Joshua and the Promised Land is an insightful analysis of the conditions required for God's people to cross the Jordan River, enter the Promised Land, and win their battles. The types and figures from the book of Joshua are key foreshadows of what is required for us to enter into the fullness of our God-given inheritance and blessing today.

Have you ever been hated? While many Christians know only freedom and safety, others do not. Your freedom isn’t guaranteed. In fact, Matthew 10:22 says we will be hated because of Christ. Do you have what it takes to be hated and still follow the Lord’s commandment to love your enemies? The Lord will soon return for a bride having not spot or wrinkle or any such thing. To be that bride, our flesh must be submitted to the Lord’s chastening, which may come through the hands of men.

The writings of John have a very special focus on God the Father. Many people who know Jesus, or claim to know him, have a limited or nonexistent personal knowledge of God the Father. It is, of course, essential for us to know Jesus, but his fervent desire is that we may also know the Father so intimately that we can ask him for whatsoever we will in Jesus’ name and our prayers may be granted.

In the Jubilee Bible 2000 (JUB), the usage and context tends to define each key word so you don't need to depend on theological dictionaries or reference materials. Careful attention has been made to properly translate the first usage of each key word and through to the last occurrence. Then, as the word makes its way across the Old Testament and you make the correct match with the corresponding Greek word in the New Testament, an amazing pattern emerges.

This is an in-depth look at practical and prophetic meanings in the book of Esther. Esther, representing the morning star, is part of a symbolic story of how the people of God triumph after an evil force (Haman) obtains the ring of power and sets a date to completely destroy the people of God. The Lord places the story of Esther in the Bible as a special prophecy regarding the end times we live in and the imminent destruction of evil.

¿Qué tal si estamos equivocados? ¿Y si la felicidad no depende de un buen trabajo, la seguridad económica, las amistades correctas, la política o incluso la religión? ¿Cuál es el verdadero secreto de una vida plena y exitosa? Después de obtener riquezas, fama, placer y sabiduría sin precedentes, el rey Salomón descubrió algo mucho más profundo. La filosofía del rey Salomón: Eclesiastés revela el mensaje claro y contundente de este libro antiguo: todo lo terrenal es vanidad si no se vive en comunión con Dios.

Preparing for the End of the World takes a close look at what it means to have a clean heart and also digs deep into biblical prophecy in order to help us understand what is soon going to be our new reality. This picture is not dark or bleak, but bright - for those who understand what it means to genuinely live for the Lord.

A commentary on the gospel of John and the three epistles of John. The writings of John have a very special focus on God the Father. Many people who know Jesus, or claim to know him, have a limited or nonexistent personal knowledge of God the Father. It is, of course, essential for us to know Jesus, but his fervent desire is that we may also know the Father so intimately that we can ask him for whatsoever we will in Jesus’ name and our prayers may be granted.
