The last commandment in the whole Bible is in Rev. 22:9b, where the angel told the apostle John, who fell down at his feet, to worship God. Throughout the Bible, throughout history, and throughout our Christian life we see a struggle for worship: God wants our worship, and Satan seeks to get worship from us. […]
Proper Prayer (burning the incense) issues out of God’s Light from Reading the Word
Lighting the lamps in the Holy Place goes together with burning the incense; when the priests were dressing the lamps in the morning, they had to burn the incense on the altar, and when they set up the lamps at twilight, they also burned the incense (see Exo. 30:7-8). Every time we read the Bible […]

Christ is God’s History working within Man’s History to Gain God’s Building
When we read the book of Zechariah, just as with many other prophetic books in the Bible, it is not easy to see what’s going on and what is the prophet speaking about. We really need to put on “the glasses of God’s economy” so that we may see the crystals, the precious points, in […]
