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

Following the cup through the Bible, part 9.
In this installment I will be writing about what appears to be a passing of the cup from one entity to another and how that plays out in the book of Revelation. Jeremiah 49:12 says this, “This is what the LORD says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, Continue reading

Following the cup through the Bible, part 8.
In the last installment, we came across a “cup of wrath” in Isaiah 51 and Jeremiah 25 and I will be seeking to expand on that in this writing. After the last supper, Jesus and the disciples (minus Judas) go into the garden of Gethsemane where Jesus begins to pray. In Matthew 26:39 Jesus says, Continue reading

Following the cup through the Bible, part 7.
In part 3, we saw in Psalm 16 the prophetic division in the church to come over the substance of the Lord’s supper with one a “libation of blood” that is equated to idolatry (verse 4) and a cup that is “secure”. How serious of a problem then are we talking about? I’ll begin the Continue reading

Following the cup through the Bible, part 6.
In the last installment, we were examining the words of institution at the last supper. In part 5, we used the biblical definition provided by Paul to determine that the body of Christ is the church, and that in the act of breaking the bread we can understand that this act is meant to prophesy Continue reading

Following the cup throughout the Bible, part 5.
In this part, I am going to examine the words of institution spoken by Jesus at the Last Supper and look at what I believe he is prophesying in implementing this memorial meal. Before I do I would like to emphasize the evidentiary aspect of the Lord’s Supper. When you have the person who was Continue reading

Following the cup through the Bible, part 4.
In part 3, we were able to understand from the text in Psalm 16 that it was prophesying a Split View of the cup. On the one hand, you have a cup that is secure. On the other, a libation of blood and what it equated to, idolatry. (It is of note that in the Continue reading
