THE REAL MEANING OF LIFE

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/jonah/2.htm Jonah’s prayer, while in the belly of the fish is short, but so full of lessons. We often get the impression that Jonah was thrown overboard and was immediately eaten by the fish. But if you read Jonah’s prayer, it doesn’t read that way. In fact, it reads as if he was pretty close to death, if not truly dead! First of all, let’s talk about the word “Sheol”, the word everyone associates with… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/jonah/1.htm Please. Read about Jonah. I know it’s one of those Bible stories that everyone knows; Jonah was swallowed by a whale and was in his belly for three days before God saved him. Or at least that’s the story they tell to little children to try to hold their attention in church. But the Book of Jonah is much more than just a children’s story. Jonah was what we call a “minor” prophet. God… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/amos/1.htm I have to do some changes in formatting. My original idea was to have each book of the Bible be a “volume” in my posts, but because we are now jumping back and forth chronologically, that isn’t going to be possible. So I’m using the “KISS” method now (Keep It Simple Stupid), and I’m just numbering my posts. That said, we are now going to review some of the books of the minor prophets.… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/2_kings/15.htm Azariah becomes King of Judah, and he reigned 52 years! That’s more than the 40 years that each Saul, David, and Solomon reigned! The other kings of Judah and Israel, didn’t last as long, one of them only sitting on the throne for one month before being assassinated. Wonder why? Scripture says Azariah did good in the sight of the Lord; the others, not so much. Do you think the Lord overthrew their kingdom… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/2_kings/13.htm Well, I wrote this post once but before I could publish it, it disappeared. So I’ll try to write down the points of these chapters that made an impression on me. First, you’re going to see some duplicate names. We’ve had a Joash (Jehoash) who reigned as the King of Judah, now we have a Jehoash who is reigning as the King of Israel. And just as there are many “John’s” in the world… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/joel/1.htm This is one of those books of the Bible that you have to be really close to God to understand what is going on, or you have to heave your ears tuned to the message at hand. Because it is one of those books that tells a story, but you have no idea what the story is about and why it was written. That said, I have no idea what the book of Joel… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/2_chronicles/22.htm Once again, as we read the Book of Chronicles, we see that it covers much of the same ground as the Book of Kings. I won’t say it is a summary, but the information is presented differently. There may be more or less details added to Chronicles, kind of like the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Specifically, we review the acts of Athaliah, the wicked grandmother who stole the throne, and the… Continue reading
