Revelation (Program #34) – The Stone With the Seven Eyes For God’s Building

The Old Testament prophet, Zechariah, tells us in chapter three that a stone with seven eyes will be engraved with an inscription.  And by this engraving, the iniquity of the people will be removed in one day.  The New Testament gospel of John tells us that the Lamb of God takes away the sins of the people.

Revelation (Program #32) – The Four Aspects of the Experience of the Lampstand

The very first verse in the book of Revelation says, “The revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave to Him to show to His slaves the things that must quickly take place; and He made it known by signs, sending it by His angel to His slave John…”

To understand the revelation that was given to John, and then given to us through John, we must understand signs. One of the key signs in this book and in the whole Bible is that of the golden shining Lampstand.

Genesis (Program #75) – Inheriting Grace

Our life study today in Genesis brings us to somewhat of a transition.  Of course, we have been dealing for many many programs now with Abraham.  Today we begin to look at Abraham’s son Isaac.  Before we get to that I wonder in several places in Scriptures, God is referred to as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  What is the significance of this particular title and what is it implied?

Leviticus 23:10 says, “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest;”

The firstfruits of the harvest are first mentioned in the Bible in this verse. But the prophetic aspects of the firstfruits are developed in the New Testament book of Revelation.
