The seven spirits of God are actually associated with the seven lamps of fire and later in John’s revelation, to the Lamb’s seven horns and seven eyes, see Rev, 5:6. We would appear to be talking about spiritual angels here, as opposed to …
At the ripe old age of 19, I was married and serving as the Senior Pastor of a small church in rural Arkansas. And I knew it all. It wasn’t until years later that I realized not only how little I actually knew, but how freeing and empowering it i…
Some interpretations I’ve heard of 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 argue that because verse 35 is merely restating what is said in verse 34, and since verse 35 discusses women asking questions, therefore verse 34 also must only be discussing the as…
θάλασσαν VS ὕδατα Was the vocative imperative command COME just for Peter or to ALL disciples? 25 And in the fourth watch of the…
