Zechariah 14 (Updated)
(I wasn’t quite at peace with the first attempt, so after getting a better write-up, I’m posting it as an update.) Zechariah has been presenting in deeply symbolic language what God could and would do for any people who make … Continue reading

Isaiah Review
This book is one of the harder books to write. I’ve just finished reviewing my notes for the Book of Isaiah. He represents the pinnacle of Hebrew prophetic literature, so very otherworldly. You can just imagine Jesus saying, “How shall … Continue reading

Sacred Sorrow
I rise today against the heresy that says God won’t bring sorrow into your life. Bad things happen. Without any moral or spiritual consciousness, you are left to rationalize cause and effect as best you can. The possibilities range between … Continue reading

We Live for His Glory
The most difficult thing to explain to Christians is the full meaning of embracing the demands of God’s glory. From the very earliest days of my spiritual awareness, going back to the 1970s, was the mission of communicating the divine … Continue reading

God is poised to make things happen which haven’t been seen in a very long time, and many things not yet seen before. If Judah will repent and obey the Covenant, she can expect a bonus, blossoming from such a … Continue reading

Zechariah 11
This chapter is very difficult to follow in most English translations. It was probably rather challenging to those who read it in Hebrew during Zechariah’s day. There are powerful dramatic images; it would seem Zechariah acted out some of these … Continue reading
