The City of Tyre consisted of two parts in the day of Ezekiel’s prophesying. The mainland portion was thereafter destroyed byNebuchnezzar, and the island stronghold by Alexander the great, in pursuance of his prophecies. What was Tyre like? [Read more…]

Just 14 years ago, in January 2001, I was getting fed up with a sore on the top of my right ear, which was growing and would not respond to any usual applications. I visited my local GP, and he sent me to Lincoln Hospital for examination. They immediately said it was skin cancer, of a type called squamous cell carcinoma. [Read more…]

“The LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.”  (Deut.4:24, Heb.12:29)

Chucking combustible things on the fire is to watch them being consumed, after which naught is left save ashes. And it is because we are so aware of this, that the Bible verse strikes sheer terror into the hearts of men, thinking that if we are condemned as sinners we shall likewise be consumed. [Read more…]

“The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2 Peter 3:10) [Read more…]

Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases giving telegraph operators electric shocks. Telegraph pylons threw sparks. [Read more…]

Over the years I have been asked on several occasions to explain why the Sun, Moon, and Stars were created on the 4^th day, when one might have expected them to be created at the beginning. This has been worthy of a study on the Hebrew words for “created” and “made” in Genesis chapter 1. This is what I have found. [Read more…]

Old Testament chronology may be a difficult subject to tackle, but I don’t think James Usher was far wrong in saying there were about 4,000 years from Adam to Christ. Our present interest concerns a hidden prophetic word suggesting this 4,000 year period, coming from the time of the Exodus. [Read more…]

Yesterday we looked at the 4,000 years from Adam to Christ, and saw that God had hidden this time period in the regulations for slaying the Passover Lamb.
