This week I tackle Jesus's observed theology concerning people, and what scripture has to say about love and anger. #Unoffendable #BrantHansen
Isaiah 48: Made In God’s Image
The first half of this chapter is about real and fake, truth and lies, life and death. The second half addresses Godโs longing for the people of God to enjoy God, and to enjoy Godโs blessing. #Isaiah48 #MadeinGodsImage

Revelation 13: The Beast’s Blasphemies
The original first century audience for John's Apocalypse was in the middle of some of the worst persecution Christians have endured. So this scene cut close to the bone for them. And there was also an overlay of the Temptations of Christ #Revelation13

“Unoffendable” Action Versus Motivation
Though the second chapter begins with what I see as good advice, it seems to conflate concepts throughout, and ends with what to me is a hair-raising conclusion. #Unoffendable

Isaiah 48: Mere Gods or Almighty God?
This passage has several famous quotes in it--"My glory I will not give to another" is just one. In it, Isaiah relates a prophecy with a double meaning, the near-term fulfillment just a shadow of the far-term conclusion. #Isaiah48 #CyrustheGreat

Isaiah's prophecy was fulfilled before Daniel's very eyes, who was called in from retirement to explain God's handwriting upon the wall of Belshazzar's dining room. #BelshazzarsFeast #MeneTekelParsin #MeneTekelUpharsin #FallofBabylon

Revelation 13: The Beast!
All four perspectives note a conscious connection between Danielโs and Johnโs visions. #Revelation13 #TheBeast #Daniel7

Revelation 12: The Dragon Wages War
It is the final scene in the dragonโs three-act narrative, and as you might expect, there are a variety of ways to understand Johnโs vision. #Revelation12 #FieryDragon #WingsofanEagle

“Reading While Black”
McCaulley has a good voice for reading, not wasting words, yet somehow managing to take time to explain. He speaks the truth in a firm, clear, and yet gracious way, from his own life and experience and also as pastor. #ReadingWhileBlack #McCaulley
