Cyrus’ Edict of Restoration was Unprecedented – but Prophesied by Jeremiah
Most of the Jews in Israel didn’t believe Jeremiah’s prophecy of 70 years of Babylonian Exile since no world power up to that time had ever released its foreign slaves to return to their own country. Daniel did heed the prophecy and prayed to God in response to the time of its fulfillment in Dan. 9.2. In response to this prayer Daniel was given another … Continue reading Cyrus’ Edict of Restoration was Unprecedented – but Prophesied by Jeremiah

The Devil’s Bargain: You Will Be Like God-Gen. 3.5
https://www.crossway.org/articles/what-is-sin-video/ What did sin get us? Death, dead to God just as He said. The devil claimed that we would be like God if the first couple ate the fruit but that was a hollow advantage. In fact, the couple were already like God in creation since they were created in His image. Now, after the Fall, humans play God illegitimately and others are hurt … Continue reading The Devil’s Bargain: You Will Be Like God-Gen. 3.5

Examining Primary Sources Related to the Book of Daniel
Here is a discussion about Daniel countering overly critical scholars. I appreciated their humility and faith. They give a range of what can be said from secular records and possible motives.

The bible does give answers to many inquiries with careful reading and cross references. In the … Continue reading Examining Primary Sources Related to the Book of Daniel

Jesus Went to Every Jewish Feast After Age Twelve
https://www.crossway.org/articles/did-jesus-lie-to-his-brothers-john-7/ James M. Hamilton writes about Jesus’ encounter with His brothers in Jn.7 about going the the Feast of Tabernacles. I want to make another point about why His brothers would have understood that He is not saying He is not going at all, but, rather He will not go publically. In order for Jesus to fulfill all righteousness, He had to observe all the … Continue reading Jesus Went to Every Jewish Feast After Age Twelve

Shealtiel son of Pedaiah-1Chron. 3.19
https://jamesbejon.substack.com/p/jesus-genealogies Contra to this article, I do believe Luke gives Mary’s genealogy. However, James Bejon explains the levirite adoption of Shealtiel in a concise way which I want to highlight. I believe there is more to be said than even James has regarding the line of Jeconiah as part of Jesus’ genealogy, but, I’ll leave this here for now.
