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

In todays installment, we look at a strange encounter in Genesis 32:22-32 between Jacob and an unknown man that leads to a physical altercation. “That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

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.

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 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

Summing up and then following the cup through scripture.
As I mentioned at the end of example three, each of those cases is a result of a process that I was able to discover by following a group of symbols through the Bible. Examples one and three involve a group of symbols that revolve around the Lord’s Supper (bread and wine) and I will… Continue reading
