Apology

I am sorry that I was not able to inform you that I was traveling this week.  I have been able to write but not post, so the last four posts in 2 Kings are all available now.

Matthew 1:18-25

Can you imagine the conversation between Mary and Joseph? Mary: "Hey Joe, um.... by the way I um... well how do I put this well... I am "with child"." Joseph: "Are you kidding me Mary? Who is the guy? I am going to kill him!" Mary: "Who is the guy?" Well um... How can I say this... GOD!" Joseph found himself in a situation where the woman he loved, by all indications, had betrayed him. If ever there was a time when a guy had an excuse to go on a "rant", become bitter to the core and take out his revenge and wrath on Mary, God and everybody; Joseph had it. He didn't do that. I think that we might learn from his example. In time of Despair: Obey God Openly In time of Doubt: Seek God Sincerely In time of Direction: Follow God Fully When he found out about Mary he decided to do the "right thing". That is not easy to do when you are deeply hurt by the person you love the most. God graciously let Joseph know that Mary was t...

Revelation 19:1-4

Hallelujah!”    And from the throne came a voice saying,   “Praise our God, all you his servants,   you who fear him,   small and great.” The reaction to the overthrow of Babylon and the judgments of God in heave are very different than those described on earth.  This judgment was met with lament and r...

Revelation 20:7-10

And when the thousand years are ended,   Satan will be released from his prison   and will come out   to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth,   Gog and Magog,   to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.    And   they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded   the camp of the saints and   the beloved city, but   fire came down from heaven and consumed them,   and the devil   who had deceived them was   thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where   the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. It seems strange that after a thousand years of captivity Satan would be released once again.  What is even stranger is that after a thousand years of peace and prosperity on earth there would be such a large multitude to join him in that rebellion.  The only thing that is not strang...
