THE END!

And the Lord will be King over all the earth; on that day the Lord will be the only one, and His name the only one.  Zechariah 14:9 NASB On that day: Start here:  “But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, they will sanctify My name; indeed, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of…

Number 8659

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.  John 21:25 NIV Would not have room – This is number 8659.  Eight thousand six hundred fifty-nine posts about biblical words.  That’s…

I’m Not Done Yet

And even when I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me, until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.  Psalm 71:18  NASB Until – When is it over?  Ah, you know there’s no such thing as retirement in this Kingdom.  It’s not over until the fat lady sings.  When you…

The Sacrificed Life

For my days have ended in smoke, and my bones have been scorched like a hearth.  Psalm 102:3  NASB Have ended – Legacy.  Does that term bother you?  Do you think about what you will leave behind?  Ecclesiastes suggests that your legacy better not be money, fame, or power.  Those ephemeral status symbols won’t mean much after…

Rough-Cut

“In the end God created the heavens and the earth.”  Genesis 1:1 modified End – Well, of course, it doesn’t read this way.  Everyone knows that Genesis 1:1 is about the beginning, not the end.  But maybe we need to think of it differently.  God always starts what He finishes, and in this case, He…

“It will be, that the nation or the kingdom which will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and which will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation with the sword, with famine and with pestilence,” declares the Lord, “until I have destroyed it by…

Reciprocity

You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved. Matthew 10:22 NASB To the end – You made it! The end of the Roman year. You endured. There were lots of difficulties along the way. Crisis. Collapse. Catastrophes you…

A Rabbi Speaks

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Romans 10:4 NASB End of the law – “But this I admit to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect I do serve the God of our fathers, believing everything that is in accordance with the Law…

The End of the World

God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son,  . . . Hebrews 1:1-2a In these last days – It’s the eschaton!  In case you’re not familiar with this word, eschaton means “the final…

Fair Warning

And at the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon Daniel 4:29 The End – What transpires next has been the subject of endless sermons on pride.  Nebuchadnezzar’s ego swells and he proclaims his own might, only to receive that terrible announcement, “This day the kingdom is taken…
