Prophecy; August 27, 2025


Jeremiah 31:14 “I will satisfy the priests with abundance,    and my people will be filled with my bounty,”declares the Lord. Jeremiah is known as a prophet of “doom and gloom,” to the point that “jeremiad” refers to a very negative rant about something. However, … Continue reading

End Times; August 24, 2025


Isaiah 65:24 “Before they call I will answer;    while they are still speaking I will hear.” There are various, seemingly conflicting, narratives of the “end times” in the Bible. Some focus on the destruction coming upon those who are in rebellion against God, … Continue reading

Consequences; August 23, 2025


Isaiah 65:11 “But as for you who forsake the Lord    and forget my holy mountain,who spread a table for Fortune    and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny…” This is a hard section to write on, because from here on God is contrasting the fate … Continue reading

God’s Timing; August 21, 2025


Isaiah 60:22 “The least of you will become a thousand,    the smallest a mighty nation.I am the Lord;    in its time I will do this swiftly.” One of the biggest problems we have in relating to God is timing. That’s no surprise, because … Continue reading

Spiritual Alertness; August 20, 2025


Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has come,    and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” It strikes me that everything in this well-loved and glorious chapter is about things God does for His people, not things we have to do. The one thing … Continue reading

Isaiah 58:6 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:to loose the chains of injustice    and untie the cords of the yoke,to set the oppressed free    and break every yoke?” God is very clear: if we want a right relationship with Him, … Continue reading
