Who Gets Blessed?

Last updated on: November 19, 2012 at 2:45 am By Jim Erwin

Who Gets Blessed? Who gets blessed? Let’s look at the following Bible verse: “I will bless those who bless you, I will curse those who treat you with contempt, and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (Genesis 12:3, HCSB) I have always read this passage and was taught that the blessing was for the nation of Israel.

Last updated on: June 11, 2018 at 8:43 am By Jim Erwin

Prophecy Watch: The Final Battle ““This is what the Lord God says: Are you the one I spoke about in former times through My servants, the prophets of Israel, who for years prophesied in those times that I would bring you against them?” (Ezekiel 38:17, HCSB) The prophecy about Gog (the Antichrist ruler who in the future will invade Israel to destroy it) is very intriguing for a variety of reasons.

National Pride Brings Desolation

Last updated on: June 11, 2018 at 8:14 am By Jim Erwin

National Pride Brings Desolation “I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolate lands, and its cities will be a desolation among ruined cities for 40 years. I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them across the countries.” (Ezekiel 29:12, HCSB) God didn’t just exile the Israelites. He also exiled the Egyptians. He exiled Israel to keep them humble, and to pay for sin. In the case of Israel, they would return and grow to... Read more

Fork in the Road

Last updated on: June 11, 2018 at 8:10 am By Jim Erwin

Fork in the Road “For the king of Babylon stands at the split in the road, at the fork of the two roads, to practice divination: he shakes the arrows, consults the idols, and observes the liver. The answer marked Jerusalem appears in his right hand, indicating that he should set up battering rams, give the order to slaughter, raise a battle cry, set battering rams against the gates, build a ramp, and construct a siege wall.” (Ezekiel 21:21–22, HCSB)...

Protection for the Faithful “Then the glory of the God of Israel rose from above the cherub where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. He called to the man clothed in linen with the writing equipment at his side. “Pass throughout the city of Jerusalem,” the Lord said to him, “and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the detestable practices committed in it.”” (Ezekiel 9:3–4, HCSB) Here is...

Leading a Double Life ““Do you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known? Then do you come and stand before Me in this house called by My name and say, ‘We are delivered, so we can continue doing all these detestable acts’?

Dinner with Demons?

Last updated on: June 11, 2018 at 7:57 am By Jim Erwin

Dinner with Demons? “No, but I do say that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to participate with demons! You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot share in the Lord’s table and the table of demons. Or are we provoking the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?” (1 Corinthians 10:20–22, HCSB) When we get involved in idolatrous practices or things... Read more

His Faithful Love Endures Forever “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His faithful love endures forever.” (Psalm 118:29, HCSB) We should learn to give thanks to God for one reason alone: His faithful love endures forever.
