This is a long post, but the times are confusing, and therefore, we need a lot of words to make sense of things. In this post, I will do my best to explain how we got to the current moment. This Post has 10 sections: Introduction The History of the Ukrainian People and the Ukrainian…

Explaining “Lucifer” in the Bible
This post is going to explain what the name “Lucifer” means in the Bible. But there is a long answer and a short answer to this question. I’ll give the “Short Answer” first. The Short Answer to what “Lucifer” Means The word “Lucifer” is not a name. It is the Latin phrase for “light-bearing,” or…
The Complete Chronology of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther Fully Explained
In the last post, we ended with a conundrum after correcting a problem in the ESV Study Bible. There is a very clear solution to the chronology of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. The solution is that Ezra and Nehemiah had interactions with King Xerxes (485 B.C. – 465 B.C.), and Esther had interactions with King…

Applying the Weird Parts of Scripture – “The Sun Stopped in the Midst of Heaven”
This post is part of a series. The last post explained what the story of Sodom and Gomorrah was really about, applying what we understand with the weird parts of scripture. This post does the same thing. We’re going to explain what is really going on when the sun stands still in Joshua 10. However,…
Weird Biblical Chronology – The Antediluvian Kings Lists of Genesis
In the previous post, we explained what it means when Noah “leaves the timeline.” Now we’re going to explain another part of the timeline above, namely: what it means that Noah and his family “start to rule as kings.”
The Biblical Chronology of the Weird Parts of Scripture – A Series
There are about 14,00,605 ways the Bible’s chronology doesn’t match what we know about world history. ……but one that does.
Problems with “The Mystery of the Last Supper,” A Review and Chronology of Holy Week
They Mystery of the Last Supper is a book by Colin J. Humphreys, which seeks to explain the chronology of the Holy Week. I have read the book, and I found some SERIOUS problems with it. This post seeks to point out those problems and offer a solution.
The Word “Begotten,” Inheritance, and the Genealogy of Matthew’s Gospel
This post is about the specific word “begotten” in scripture. My point is that it is a bad to eliminate the word “begotten” from Bibles and from our theological understanding. Unfortunately, we have almost forgotten what the word means at all. Contrary to popular belief, the word “begotten” does not mean “fathered” and it does not mean “born.” Instead, it is a word with no modern equivalent, but it is still a very important word with serious effects on theology and our understanding of God and the Bible.
What Trump’s Impeachment Lawyer Should Have Said
To be rather open with the reader, I actually approve of impeachment based on the limited information I’ve seen. The January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol was a national disgrace. That is not a controversial thing to say. The question for impeachment is this: What did Trump have anything to do with it?
However, that being said, the present issue is rather complicated. The question is about whether it is proper to move forward with the impeachment trial. On that issue, I think the argument of Rep. Raskin (someone I have also had the opportunity to speak to, because he taught at my law school) had some serious flaws.
Therefore, because if you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself, here is what I think the Trump Lawyers should have said.
The Chambers of the South, the Mazzaroth, and the Constellations of Job
The book of Job in the Bible is a very ancient book. That is why it is so amazing that we actually get some consistent names for things mentioned in the book that stay consistent across 4,000 years or so. I’m talking about the names of constellations. We’re going to explore the constellations and astronomy that we get in Job. There are a lot of surprises and some really good poetry.
How Did The Planets Get Their Names?
This post isn’t about remembering the planet names. This post is about remembering WHY the planets are named what they are named. Everybody knows that the planets correspond to classical characters in mythology. But I’m answering the question “Why did the ancients connect THAT spot of light — and not any other spot of light — to this PARTICULAR deity — and not another deity?”
As I’d like to show, there is actually an answer.
