Spreading God's Good News
Sunday morning studies (Page 2)
This session deals with one of the most striking, specific and detailed prophecies in the Bible: The total destruction of the city of Tyre. The nature of its destruction and the extended history of the process and the variety of people and processes involved come together to make the results truly astounding. There are also […]
The Ark of the Covenant is a mysterious thing. Its creation and history are rather unusual. Happenings connected with it were far from normal – some were downright supernatural!

Comparisons with modern day events and trends are prominent in the latter half of […]

Also the Stature of Ezekiel exhibiting excellence in his prophetic role and the intensity of the content of the book (“not to be studied until reach age of 30”) were stressed. Ezekiel doesn’t just talk, he acts, he […]
