What Is Wrong Or Peculiar With The Book Of Enoch? Many get their viewpoint of the devils (ie. fallen angels) mating with the women in Genesis 6 from the book of Enoch. I believe it is false theology, passed on from a few hyper-dispensationalists who add to the Word of God. They get it usually from one or more of three sources: either from the book of Enoch itself (which is Apocryphal writings, which contradict the Word of God), from the corrupt text of the modern versions , or frankly from misreading Genesis 6:1-4; 2 Peter 2:4-6 and Jude 1:6-7. This article will deal with the first of these three, and Lord willing, I will add posts for the other two parts as well. These points are taken from the translation by Richard Laurence, and come from Part 1 of The Book Of Enoch. (There are Six Parts altogether.) Part 1. Chapter 1:4 Refers to Mount Sinai, yet this is supposedly written by Enoch 665 years before the flood and approximately 1500 or so year before the giving of the Law by Moses. T...

Do You See Jesus? Here is an interesting word study. Beheld - Strong’s #2300, “to look closely at, i.e. (by implication) perceive (literally or figuratively); by extension to visit: — behold, look (upon), see.” The Complete Word Study Bible Dictionary defines it as “To behold, view attentively, contemplate, indicating the sense of a wondering consideration involving a careful and deliberate vision which interprets its object.” This Greek word for beheld is used seven times in the Gospel of John: 1) John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. We beheld Jesus - looked at Him closely and saw what He truly was like. All grace and truth is found in Jesus. 2) John 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. John the Baptist was carefully looking for and anticipating the coming of the Messiah. He was intently ...

Introduction To God’s Magnificent Sevens One thing that has intrigued me the last few years in my Bible studying especially is all the sevens that I and others have found in the Bible. Of course, we all know the mainstream ones people talk about, such as Jesus’ seven I Ams in the Gospel of John; Jesus’ seven sayings from the cross; the seven churches, seals, trumpets and vials in the book of Revelation. Even though the word seven and sevens occur 54 times in Revelation, there are countless more, such as a word or phrase occurring seven times in that book (or a multiple of seven, which has the same symbolic meaning), seven people or groups in view, a passage having seven things happening in it, a sevenfold list given, seven names or types of statements, a sevenfold approach to the whole book. We can also find all of these and so many more in the Bible as a whole. Sevens (or a multiple of that number) means completion or perfection in the Bible. Often it is used to show a complete range ...

Give Your Burdens To The Lord Give your burdens, your cares, your struggles to the Lord and let Him hold you up. Remember, you are always on His heart and being carried on His shoulders. Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. The word casting means “to throw upon.” Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. You don’t have to carry that weight, that burden. Throw it upon the Lord. If you can’t even do that, roll it upon Jesus, drop it at His feet. Whatever, however, just give it to Him. Exodus 28:9-12 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel: Six of their names on one stone, and the...

Comfort And Strength From Isaiah My Bible study group and I were studying our way through the book of Isaiah this year, and over and over again we were impressed by its many comforting passages and promises While this is not a complete list, here are some of our favourite and most encouraging passages from that Old Testament book. Sit back and enjoy reading through all these verses, then praise the Lord Jesus Christ for the comfort and strength He gives us through His Word. I trust you will be blessed! Maybe pick up a pen or highlighter and mark some of your favourite passages today. Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 2:2-3 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. ...

Should Bible Believing Christians Use The Esoteric Term Shekinah To Refer To God’s Glory? Introduction I am certain most of us have heard the term Shekinah or Shekinah glory our whole Christian walk. Many people use this term because they heard others use this term, and never think about its origins. Is it a Biblical concept? It has to be a Christian term because so many Christians use it, right? If you prefer to be politically-correct and not rock the boat, this article is not for you. If you desire to know what the Bible teaches, regardless of whether any other Christian around you stands for a particular doctrine or viewpoint, then please keep reading. In 2021, I came across a few preachers that were using this term in a way that seemed unusual (even contrary to how most people I know have used it in the past – including referring to the Holy Spirit as female, Sophia – like we see in The Shack and other emergent church circles), so I decided to look up ALL references to glory in...
