Ten days from today is the "Day of Atonement." (Sept 30th) Let me know if this thread would be interesting or useful in your daily walk with Christ Jesus. There are some interesting facts that I have recently studied, but a conversation would also be edifying to me.

Trumpets is not a feast, contrary to popular belief, and in addition “Rosh Hashanah” isn’t Biblical, let alone being a feast, yet the Biblical definition of "Trumpets" is a Holy Sabbath convocation day of the seventh month. In Hebrew, שנה טובה means “Happy New Year,” and is in relation to...

We have recently become acquainted with a couple where the husband is white and the wife is black. She believes that black people are the only “real” Israelites and consequently feels like she is, and should be, the “leader” of our small Bible study group of four people. To my wife and me, color...

Leaven (yeast) gives increase. Evidently “bread” refers to “doctrine.” *How does this all fit into one concept? Or does it? “How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Then...

“And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.” (Isaiah 1:28) “Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they...

"Go to the ant, O sluggard, Observe her ways and be wise, Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler, Prepares her food in the summer And gathers her provision in the harvest. How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? “A little sleep, a little slumber, A little...

I know that God is not a respecter of persons, and that Esau was just as much of a child of Abraham and Isaac as was Jacob. Yet the Bible seems to make it clear that there was a great difference between God's attitude of loving Jacob and hating Esau. Now selling his birthright to Jacob, Esau...

Could the 9 days of trumpets relate to the 9 entities of the "fruit of the spirit?" If so, the first day would represent "love." What do you think? "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."...

Has the responsibility of the renewing of our minds been given to us by the power of the Holy Spirit, or does it just happen once we believe? In Scripture Paul seems to be saying that it's up to us in order for it to be done. "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the...

Both Evangelical Christendom, and Catholicism preach that the covenant which God made with Israel is gone, indicating that God conceived a different plan after that first covenant failed. In other words, God didn’t do it right the first time, making the old testament only history, but...

According to scripture the first day of the year is thirteen days prior to Passover, being the fourteenth day of the first month. Passover falls within March or April, depending on the “new moon” and the ripening of barley. By the year 1752 January 1st finally became New Years day according to...

Defining the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil”. Using God’s original creation to form/construct tools deemed as necessary and useful is defined as “tree” in Genesis 2:17. Jesus was a carpenter, and divine, righteously knowing right and wrong, equipped perfectly unlike any other...

I had been confused about a certain scripture for years – Matthew 19:24 “And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” I wondered about this because as a young (and often broke!) believer, I saw people...

How did King David know the Messiah, who hadn’t even been born yet? Psalm 110:1 NASB The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet." Two kings are mentioned: God and David’s Lord. David’s Lord sits at the right hand of God, which...

Almost exactly 16 years have passed since the attack on the twin towers. (September 11, 2001) The Biblical number 16 represents "love." God sent prophet after prophet to warn people of coming judgements because of His love for us. Harvey, a Category 4 hurricane, made landfall exactly 4 days...

Food for thought... The only child listening to his father was his first born son. The other kids were very unruly, never taking their father’s advise seriously. Chaos filled the house, till finally the father had had enough, and said to his oldest son, “put and end to this discord, and tell...

It wasn’t from me, but I don’t consider myself as any kind of prophet. I’m sure of that, because that’s not the way my mind works. I woke up this morning with an Aramaic word on my mind, so vivid that I couldn’t shake it for hours. The word was “anathema.” Up until today, I really never knew...
