Following the sun and the goat through the Bible, part 9: The sun, the goat and the seals.
In the last installment we examined Genesis 38 and this is last place that the sun or the goat appears in the book of Genesis. I examined the prophetic implications of color to some extent and we may look at that more as we get further into the law, but today I want to connect… Continue reading

Following the sun and the goat through the Bible, part 7: A robe dipped in blood.
In the last installment, we examined the dream of Joseph in Genesis 37. In it, we see the sun, moon and stars bowing to Joseph. One thing that this does, is place Joseph as a type for Jesus who is part of the Godhead. The second thing this does is to show that the character… Continue reading

Following the sun and the goat through the Bible, part 6: He who overcomes continued and the sun bows down.
In the last installment we were examining the interaction between Jacob and an unnamed stranger. During the encounter, the stranger asks Jacob his name and after responding, Genesis 32:28 states, “Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome.”… Continue reading

Following the sun and the goat through the Bible, part 4: Jacobs wages.
Todays installment is particularly poignant for me in that on the day we remember Jesus’ sacrifice on Good Friday in 2024 we come across striped branches and it’s meaning in Genesis 30. Isaiah says in chapter 4 verse 2, “In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit… Continue reading

Following the sun and the goat through the Bible, part 3. Genesis 28.
In the last installment, we found the sun symbol connected to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and postulated that the two angels were types for the two witnesses, meaning that the witnesses aren’t just men, but also angels. The next place sun or goat appears is in Genesis 28:10-22. In this case, it is… Continue reading

Following the sun and the goat through the Bible, part 2: Sodom and Gomorrah.
In the last installment we looked at a handful of symbols that are introduced in Genesis 15 which I believe are a symbolic (and prophetic) telling of God’s plan of redemption and judgment. The symbols that were present in that account that we looked at were the heifer, the goat, the ram, the dove and… Continue reading

Following the sun (and the goat) through the Bible, part 1.
In the last installment we examined three different accounts in the Old Testament that appear to be prophesying someone who begins their prophetic ministry after they are resurrected. Examining the people who were resurrected in the Old and New Testament, only Jesus prophesied after his death in the book of Revelation ( but he only… Continue reading

The prophet who dies twice: Introduction to a new series.
I’m beginning a new series today that will revolve around a different set of symbols and types. In this first installment I will be taking a look at three stories in the Old Testament that I believe point to the coming of a prophet that has part of his overall ministry dying twice. It’s a… Continue reading

Following the cup through the Bible: Summary and conclusion.
I began this series showing how the symbolism in the Bible can be used to derive some very specific prophetic/spiritual meaning. We have been able to test this model by comparing it to history and have been able to identify at least three individuals in history that they point to, the most important being the… Continue reading
