Differences Between 2 Sam 22 and Ps 18
2 Sam 22 and Ps 18 are the same song, spoken in the day that the Lord had delivered David out of the hand of all his enemies. Yet, when you set these two passages side by side, you can see that there are quite a few differences in these two chapters of the Bible. […]
What Day Nebuzaradan came into Jerusalem
There is an “apparent” contradiction between 2 Ki 25:8 and Jer 52:12. 2 Ki 25:8 says that Nebuzaradan came into Jerusalem “in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month.” Jer 52:12 says that Nebuzaradan came into Jerusalem “in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month.” This presumed “error” is not […]
The Hour of the Crucifixion, Mk 15:25
Reconcile the hour of the crucifixion, Mk 15:25. In this post we reconcile the difference between, Mk 15:25 and Jn 19:14. Mk 15:25 says, “And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.” Jn 19:14 says, it was “about the sixth hour” when Pilate “saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!” Furthermore, Matt 27:45 […]
Explain Jehovah in Ex 6:3
This post is a reconciliation of the statement “by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them,” in Ex 6:3. They knew the name Jehovah. All these people knew that name: Eve, Gen 4:1; the men in Gen 4:26; Noah, Gen 8:20; Abram, Gen 12:7; Sarai, Gen 16:2; Lot, Gen 19:14; Abraham, Gen 22:14; […]
Purpose in Your Heart, Acts 11:22-24
In Acts 11:22-24, Barnabas exhorted the church at Antioch “that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.” To purpose in your heart to do something is to become so resolved that nothing will change your mind. For instance, in Is 14:24-27, the Lord purposed to break the Assyrian, and no one can […]
My Shepherd, Ps 23:1
In Ps 23:1, David said, The Lord is my shepherd. Though he was the king of Israel, and the best king Israel ever had at that, he needed a shepherd. With the Lord as his shepherd, he had: Contentment – I shall not want Rest – lie down in green pastures Provision – (physical) still […]
Spiritual Blessings, Eph 1:1-14
Our lesson today is from Eph 1:1-14. In Eph 1:3, God “hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” These spiritual blessings are: We will be holy and without blame before him in love – Eph 1:4 – this is the choice that God made before the foundation of the world. […]
Walk in the Law, Ps 119:1-8
Ps 119:1-8 shows us that we are supposed to walk in the law. This is not in the sense of keeping the Old Testament law for salvation. To walk in the law is to walk by the faith of the words of God; to obey what God shows you to do in the Bible. We […]
Excellent, Right, True Things, Prov 8:6-7
In Prov 8:6, wisdom says, “Hear.” We are supposed to listen to wisdom because wisdom will speak of: Excellent things – Prov 8:6 – “I will speak of excellent things.” Excellent things are things of great value; things that are superior. Wisdom is better than rubies – A man with wisdom, knowledge and instruction […]
Interested in Just One, Mk 5:22-34
In Mark 5:22-34, Jesus encounters a woman with an issue of blood on his way to Jairus’ house. He is surrounded by a crowd of people and Jairus’ daughter is in need of immediate attention. This is not the time for an interruption. Nevertheless, when the woman touches Jesus’ garment and is healed, Jesus stops […]
