Deuteronomy 31:7-8

The Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee. If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. — O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:... Read More

The Lamb's bride is distinctly the heavenly Jerusalem, the heavenly companion of her Lord, quite distinct from Messiah's kingdom. Jerusalem is the earthly counterpart of the Lamb's bride.

Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they have not wholly followed Me, except Caleb . . . and Joshua . . . for they have wholly followed the LORD. (Numbers 32:11-12) Those who live by... Read More

Open Letter Dear Brother, I am most grateful for the two emails, very sobering, yet edifying in the assurance that God will do nothing except He reveal His intention to His servants the prophets (Amos 3:7). I believe you are seeing something that significantly coincides with my own impressions conce... Read More
