From the perspective of timeless eternal God (Is. 57:15. 2 Pet. 3:8) Simon was “born again” when he confessed Jesus “is the Christ the Son of the living God (Mt. 16:16; 10:32; Rom. 10:8-9). Those truths are the keys of the kingdom. Jesus confirms this declaring Simon has been wonderfully “blessed” then likening him to

The Woman’s seed refers first to Christ, then to the children of God. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Gen. 3:15 KJV) This verse is one of the most famous cruxes of Scripture.

The Heavenly Angels God’s heavenly army in Daniel 8:9-14 The heavenly angels are God’s heavenly army called “hosts” in many Bibles (1 Ki. 22:19; Neh. 9:6; Ps. 103:21; 148:2; Lk. 2:13). The captains in this army are its “stars” (Judg. 5:20; Josh. 5:14; Dan. 8:11, 25; 10:13, 21; compare with humans who lead many to

God vs Devil is no contest. God is infinite Almighty in power, Satan finite limited in power. So how could he hope to successfully rebel against God? If he couldn’t depend on his strength, then he must have depended on his “wiles”, his “craftiness.” What was his strategy? His plan? The answer to that is

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of

The Asymmetric Janus Parallelism in Daniel 11:35 Since the time of Jerome, some Christian interpreters have seen an “antichrist” figure in vv. 36–45 (cf. Lucas, 292). The interpretation is based on Daniel’s description of the “little horn” (7:8), “another horn” (8:9), and “the ruler who will come” (9:26) in his previous visions, as well as

The End-Time clock begins at the start of the seven year “week”, when the Daily Sacrifice is taken away by the Church’s apostasy receiving the Man of Sin as “the Christ” (2 Thess. 2:3-4), and not in the middle of Daniel’s 70th week as some suggest. That is clear from the 1290 and 1335 days,

The “woman fled into the wilderness” which in apocalyptic language doesn’t necessarily require spatial movement at all. The interpretive key to this symbolism is found in John’s many allusions to the time of Exodus. “The wilderness” is the place of God’s special communion as seen by His Tabernacle and altar in the wilderness at Gibeon

The Two Witnesses Moses and Elijah appear at the beginning of the end time seven-year, prophesying for 42 months until slain by Adonikam the Beast (Rev. 11:3, 7). Some dispute Moses will be one of the two witnesses interpreting “it is appointed unto men once to die” ruling that out (Deut. 34:5-7). However, that general

If the greatest trick of the Devil was “to convince the world he does not exist” perhaps the second was “angels are immaterial spirits”. But what of the equation “angels are spirits” in Heb. 1:13-14, is this not the locus classicus for the biblical definition of their nature? 13 But to which of the angels
