6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, For thousands of years none was worthy to open the seals because none was worthy to be the lamb that takes away the sins of the world. Each one of these seals is opened by the lamb. and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Thunder accompanies lightning. Jesus said that He saw Satan falling as lightning when the apostles and the 70 were out preaching the gospel. Come. 2 And I saw, and behold, a...

Thank you for the interest shown, to those of you who are reading these entries. So here is my second letter written whilst I was in hospital. A Second Letter from Hospital. I am arriving at a point in my letters where it appears we do not have to believe in the existence of God to achieve a reasonable quality of life in this life, and I have to admit this is the substance of my prayers. They are petitionary prayers. I pray because I do believe, in fact I know God exists through a personal...

Which statement is correct: "If we gain eternal life, we will become a servant of heaven" or "If we become a servant of heaven, we will gain eternal life?" At first glance these may seem to say the same thing, but a closer look shows that one statement is based on what Jesus taught us and the other statement is based on what today's local church teaches. The first statement places the focus on us (in this world) and tells us we must first gain eternal life in order to be a servant of God....

"Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father." (1 John 2:15 GNB) LOVE: warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) God is warning us in the text above never to have a warm attachment, enthusiasm or devotion to the world system. If we do, our love for the Father will be squeezed out of our lives. The love for the Father and the world are counter-productive. One will cancel out and destroy the other....

This is my introduction to a video that reveals what is really behind the attack and hatred against Donald Trump as President of the USA.

Recently, I read the following post on Facebook, "If we cannot enjoy a few hours in God’s service once a week in this world, it is plain to see that we could not enjoy an eternity in His service in the world to come... Too many have no heart for God’s service." This message spoke volumes of truth, and yet, I could not help but think how many churchgoers would miss the point of the message altogether. Modern day "Christians" define God's service as an event (a church service) that happens in...

"Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory." (Romans 5:2 NLT) Our faith in the death, resurrection and ascension of Christ Jesus bring us into a lot of benefits. One of them is the undeserved privileges (grace) with God. We can now expect favour from God because Jesus died for us. God wants us not only to understand this truth but also to stand on it. He wants us...

5 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals. There is a lot of speculation about what this book is, but I think that is pointless. We learn enough from the record here in Revelation to make some very key conclusions about what this is. Three of these key points are right here in this one verse. It is written within and on the back. That is not typical, but it clearly states there is no room for any...

My stay in hospital was for eight weeks (I think!), late in 2018. I began to write to fill in the time, so here I go with the first of seven essays. A First Letter From Hospital. Lying in bed in hospital, wondering what God's plans are for me, praying to Him and asking Him about His plans if He is willing to reveal them, I am inspired (directed by God?) to write this letter. My worldly motive for doing this has come from beginning to read the latest SDA Quarterly (Oct. to Dec. 2018) "Oneness...

"But afterward Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, “Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you.” (John 5:14 NLT) … This man has been impotent for thirty eight years of his life. He lost all including relatives. He became bankrupt. Sin brought bankruptcy into his life. Jesus' admonition to him in our anchor text indicates that he was suffering from the consequences of his sins. So friend, now that you are well, stop sinning! God has had mercy on you,...

Facing our own inner ‘demons’ Life is in reality a marathon for us. There are unexpected pressures that arise. Today you can say that many are being asked to face their own inner darkness so that a conscious choice can be made to allow in the light. This world is not a kind place to live, though there is much beauty as well. It is only in the human heart that kindness and compassion can be experienced that overflows from those who seek to become more loving towards themselves as well as...

"Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us." (Romans 5:1 NLT) One of the fiery darts of the devil in this end time is doubt about our salvation. He wants to bring us to a point where we doubt our sonship or daughtership with God. He achieves this by arranging several incidences that will make us query our salvation. He has been known to be a lier and father of all lies: so he keeps lying to...

Am I really saved? Today's local church system may have offered you a gospel message that in the end does not lead to eternal life in heaven. Watch this powerful 3 minute sermon jam from Pastor Jeff Durbin's message about regeneration and the new birth.

We need to have a grounded understanding of the end of the age because the amount of irrational and wrong teachings are going to multiply. The world is about to go crazy like a computer crashing. One minute everyone will be denying the Bible and using the term “apocalyptic” like it is a joke, the next minute they will be panicking and running around like chickens with their heads cut off. I saw this happen on 9/11. I was in the Lobby of a stock brokerage firm that I worked at in Manhattan...

"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5 NKJV) The love of God brought salvation to us. He loved us and sent His only Begotten Son to die for us on the Cross. We became partakers in the divine nature through this wonderful experience. The love of God can only be poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit. Without the help of the Holy Spirit, we cannot practice the divine love. We may...
