At Biblical Life, we realize there are many ways of calculating the Feast Days used by various groups: both within Christianity and Judaism. However, we have chosen to abide by the traditional calendar that is currently being used by Israel today.
Mary and I have had several reach out to us this morning to see if we were OK after the terrible storms last night. We did have a funnel cloud go over the house, and it tore off a good number of shingles off the front and side of the home. We are both so grateful for God’s protection. We have not checked out ministry buildings yet, but this storm was closer to I-44, so they should not have been affected. (We will check on them later today.)
The Essenes are an overlooked element of the Second Temple Period by most believers today. Yet, there are strong connections with this Jewish group that had rejected the immorality they saw in Jerusalem and throughout Judea to form a settlement in the desert. However, the Dead Sea Scrolls has turned a spotlight on this book and the prophecies they had about the future.
Today is December 1, and our sabbatical during December begins. Mary and I will spend some much-needed time resting, praying, and in research during the month. I will also be working on my next book. Without the constant distractions of daily ministry, it will be easier to concentrate on the writing process. (I know Defender Publishing will be happy to see significant progress on this project.)
Biblical Life Publishing has retired the DVD set on the Feasts of the LORD and Their Biblical Significance in the Life of the Believer. Now, we are sharing these videos with our friends and partners. There are nine videos in this set.
There are events in human history that not only shape the near future but can well extend beyond the millennium in which they occur. Some are so powerful that they can stretch their influence from the very ancient world to today.
After reviewing important items from our national news, the Lakes discuss the possible prophetic connection of America, ancient Hebron, and Absalom. There is a direct spiritual connection between Absalom and Marxism taking hold in our nation today. If we seek the face of God, Marxism (and its power base) can meet the same divine judgment as Absalom in the time of King David.
The war against truth has never been greater than in our day. MSM, the techno-army of so-called “fact-checkers” (and their technocratic overlords), and legions of Marxists labor unceasingly to control the social narrative. Yet, there is evidence that their programming is breaking down, and that truth continues to find the light of day. Now is the time to dedicate ourselves afresh to our eternal King and the spiritual war that lies ahead of us.
Like the “Soup Nazi” from the old Seinfeld episode, YouTube pulled our video “Sheep Nations and the Task Before Us.”
It is easy in the den of spiritual warfare to lose sight of the Assembly’s trust mission. Our mission is to lead nations to the LORD and teach them to walk in His ways. There will be Sheep Nations during the reign of the Son of Perdition, and it is our task to call them into the Kingdom and disciple them to be faithful Kingdom citizens. One day, we will be judged by Almighty God on how trustworthy we remained to our mission in His Kingdom.
