The Righteousness of God – Dikaiosune
Where? Germany – the land of Noah’s son, Japheth. Who? Martin Luther, a part of Japheth genealogical heritage. Why? God promised that Japheth would dwell in the tent of Shem (Gen. 9:27). It should be no surprise that the gospel of God’s magnificent grace was publicly...
Germany: Ground Zero
It is time to begin to connect the dots. One of the most magnificent glimpses of grace is found by discovering the importance of three words: where, who, and what. Remember that the public proclamation of the gospel had been floundering in a sea of confusion and...
The Influence of the Word
Following the collision of Christianity and paganism, the true church of Jesus Christ had helped win their freedom only to exchange it for a different slavery. The public proclamation of the gospel of grace steadily changed. The organized church moved away from...
Illusion, Confusion, and Delusion
The Lord Jesus commissioned the church to go into all nations and preach the gospel and make disciples (Matt. 18:20). He promised that they would be baptized with the Holy Spirit, and this baptism would give them the power to become witnesses in Judea and Samaria, and...
Nimrod’s Influence
The gospel of God’s magnificent grace had been released and was flourishing. The LORD God of Noah’s son Shem was on a rampage. Using the truth of Japheth’s dwelling in the tents of Shem, God provided safety, roads, and language, for the gospel to move. The God/man’s...
Japheth’s Influence
We are investigating Noah’s strange prophecy concerning the blessing of the LORD, the God of Shem and Japheth, his older brother dwelling in Shem’s tents (Gen. 9:27). Remember, this “dwelling” means making a spiritual impact, Shem on Japheth and Japheth on Shem. This...
Dwelling in the Tents of Shem
The water of life that passed from Abel – through Noah’s son, Shem all the way to Jesus Christ. Abel without saying a word had prophesied clearly that the way back into the Garden of Eden, the way to life, was through the shedding of blood. The stream ended with the...
The Continuation of the Flow of the Water of Life
In my opinion, the most accurate record of world history can be found in the seventy nations recorded in the Bible (Gen. 10-11). These nations are the product of Noah’s three sons, Ham, Shem, and Japheth (Gen. 9:18). Their family history – is history! Ham’s family –...
The Fountain Head of Grace
God has given us the great privilege to have been born and raised in arguably the greatest nation on this earth – the United States of America. It is my view that my homeland is greater than Greece, the mighty Roman Empire, and even Babylon, in their prime. As...
Bear One Another’s Burdens
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (Jn. 13:34). The Christian is firmly under the law of Christ. The...
Love not Law
Paul told the Galatian Christians to resist the false teaching that had come to them. The Galatians had been growing in their love for the Lord Jesus Christ and for Paul also. Then they were bushwhacked by those who caused them to take their eyes off Christ and put...
Freedom in Grace
Religion is Satan’s great blinding agent to God’s grace (2 Cor. 4:3-4). “But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. But now, after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the...
