The Way to God - Jesus. The Way to Jesus - the Cross.

 Because my health has deteriorated since my mother's death in 2018. (Home hospice takes a toll on the care givers, and I had a heart attack at that time.) Then 2020 happened. I caught covid in January 2022, and I would have died if not for Hydroxychloroquine. Because I am in my late sixties, have kidney problems, and have issues with going to or trusting doctors, I know my health is in steep decline. I will spare you the further details of my health, but it is not good. I will say that each day is a blessing, but I don't expect there to be many more. I'm surprised each day I wake up or make it until bedtime. Maybe I will be surprised with more days than I expect or feel up to. However, there is the assurance of life eternal and abundant in my Father's Kingdom. Because of these things, I am going to start shutting down my blog, YouTube channel, and books. I am the only Christian in my immediate family, and there will not be anyone to monitor these things when I'm go...

 There may be a lot of organizational differences among Protestants, and that is frequently attacked. However, when it comes to the belief that we are saved by Christ's atoning death on the cross and His resurrection, we're all unified. We are one body in Christ through the unifying Holy Spirit. That unity is a fact. John 17:20-23 was not a vain hope of Christ. Stop looking at the outward appearances and look at the inner man and woman. There is more unity than the world realizes.  Jesus Prays for All Believers John 17: 20  “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21  that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22  I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23  I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the worl...

I've had a couple people ask me about Bible Codes at YouTube, but YouTube -- the arbiter of all that is acceptable to say or think -- keeps removing my reply. I hope the people who have asked the question will find this.  "I've tried three times to answer but it doesn't remain. I thought I'd try again with some changes. "The Jewish sage, Vilna Gaon once said that all that was, is, and will be is encoded in the Torah. There was a paper on this in the 80's by the mathematicians Eliyahu Rips, Doron Witztum, and Yoav Rosenberg. They had found several codes in the Torah and took their work to Statistical Science magazine. It was the most respected magazine on statistics in the world. The magazine had agreed to publish the paper but then pulled back because they worried about ridicule. However, they agreed to publish if Professor Persi Diaconis, the head of the department of statistics at Stanford University, would approve the paper. Diaconis was consi...

This post will examine a rapture code found in Isaiah 26:19-21. Is this random chance or does it mean something? Is it deliberate design or just a lucky fluke? Many consider that passage to be an Old Testament shadow of the rapture. This is similar to the rapture code I covered in my last blog post.  Here are the verses in Isaiah 26:19-21. "But your dead will live, Lord; their bodies will rise—let those who dwell in the dust wake up and shout for joy—your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead. Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed on it; the earth will conceal its slain no longer." Many see those verses as an Old Testament reference to the rapture and resurrection of believers. It certainly speaks of God's people bei...

I am frequently told there is no rapture. I have written extensively about the scriptural evidence for the rapture, so I completely disagree with that position. Click here for one of my blog posts on the subject. In addition to all of the scriptures that teach about the rapture, the rapture is also found encoded in different places in the Hebrew Old Testament. But are they really codes or are they random chance? Are these rapture "codes" deliberate design or just a lucky fluke? I want to look at one of those today. The odds of this particular code are at least 1 in 1000, which would make it statistically significant. As always, with statistics, I asked ChatGPT for help. Unfortunately, ChatGPT is not always reliable.   My search for the Hebrew equivalent of the English word "rapture" was inspired by an old video that the late Yacov Rambsel did about a code in Malachi 3:16-18. He stated he had found the phrase, "rapture of his people" in those verses in Mal...

  The Gold Coin Analogy: If you've watched my earlier videos on Bible Codes, or read those blog posts, you know that my name occurs three times in the Torah. My first and last name in Hebrew are eight characters long. There are different methods of encoding a text, and the method used in this example is an ELS code -- or Equidistant Letter Sequence code. It is an found by picking up letters that are equally spaced apart. If you start looking for a word at a skip sequence of 50, you continue with a skip of 50. The odds of finding the three occurrences of my name by chance alone were less than one in a million according to the software's odds calculator, and I have gone over the specific odds of such a thing occurring randomly before. However, I thought of an analogy that might be helpful in understanding the rarity of this and asked ChatGPT 4 to help me with it. Here is that conversation. Me: If I go for a drive, and I get out of my car and walk 50 paces and find a gold coin, f...
