The Man of Sorrows, acquainted with grief is God the Son, Jesus Christ, the one we can trust as confidante and friend, as well as Lord and Savior. #Isaiah53 #FourthServantSong #ManofSorrows
Revelation 14: Fallen, Fallen is Babylon
Technically I should have translated “it” as “she,” but I did not. Because even more technically, in English, a city is not a female. It is a very large cluster of buildings organized as an entity. Babylon is not a woman. #Babylon #FallenFallen #Rev14

Revelation 14: Reprise of the 144,000
All perspectives recognize the unique position of Chapter 14 acting as a bridge between what has so far transpired and what is about to come. John described the Lamb of God standing upon Mount Zion, surrounded by a mighty company. #Revelation14 #144000
1 John Bonus: What is Love? (Part 2 of 3)
Probably the best-known passage on love in the Greek scriptures is found Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth, 1 Corinthians 13. #WhatisLove #Agape #1Corinthians13
Isaiah 51: God As Ally Allays All Fear
Fear of people and our current circumstances, fear of what the future might hold, fear borne out of past pain can grow so large it pushes aside our fear of the Lord. That is part of what was happening with Isaiah’s audience. #Isaiah51 #JudeanExile
