Joshua - basic introductionAuthor: buildontherock | Date: 2023-08-19 | The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Torah and the Christian Old Testament. I think that I need to mention that it is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history because that description is bound to come up. The Deuteronomistic History is a recent theoretical invention which claims that behind the present forms of the books of Deuteronomy and Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings (the Former Prophets in the Hebrew canon) there was a single literary work. In other words there were no scrolls of these books before the book of Kings.

ManhoodAuthor: buildontherock | Date: 2020-08-11 | I have heard these youngsters at times say things that suggest to me that I should say something about what true maturity is. The expression 'be a man' carries a different connotation than 'be a woman' so at the risk of being a male chauvinist I want to challenge all the youngsters (male and female) with manhood. It seems to me that while many are on the right track they allow themselves to be burdened by the expectations of the world rather than freed by the simplicity of the Bible.

Oracles of GodAuthor: buildontherock | Date: 2025-02-20 | Many people chide or condemn the Jews for their culpability in Christ's death but have the Jews done anything right? What about their contribution to the knowledge of God that every Christian relies on every day?

Outcasts - Government and unificationAuthor: buildontherock | Date: 2025-07-27 | The Saints find themselves home at last during the millennium. It is the time when the Kingdom of God is established on the whole Earth. It represents the fulfillment of the Promised Land. I am going to pursue the subject of the Feast of Ingathering a.k.a Tabernacles from this perspective.

Outcasts - Kingdom Redeemed at AtonementAuthor: buildontherock | Date: 2023-10-13 | It seems to me that people try to understand the meaning by picking apart the word ATONEMENT rather than by examining what God says about the festival. At-ONE-MENT is picking apart the word. The practice and festival ignores some essentials because primarily it is about causing possessions to return to the original owner. God gets back His creation and man gets back his life and Satan gets back his sins. At Atonement the potential subjects and territory of God's Kingdom are redeemed.

Outcasts - Perpetual new beginningsAuthor: buildontherock | Date: 2024-10-25 | If we look at the sequence of the feasts represented in the Bible there is no 8. There is 7 days, 7 weeks, seven months, seven years and there is no 8, so why a celebration of an 8th. day?

Outcasts - delivered and exaltedAuthor: buildontherock | Date: 2022-09-24 | The feast of Trumpets is primarily about resurrection. After that point Christians will take over the kingdoms of the world under Christ. It also heralds and represents several other critical happenings which we can investigate in the article "Trumpets - the significance in the shofar". So "Trumpets" actually represents a whole lot of thing but in this article I want to show that the primary focus is the Resurrection.

Outcasts - from rags to richesAuthor: buildontherock | Date: 2024-09-14 | The focus of this series is the Fall/Autumn festivals in God's calendar. The Fall festivals begin with the Feast of Trumpets. The whole period is called the period of "ingathering" and equated with the Feast of Tabernacles in the Bible. Every kingdom needs these things:. Every kingdom needs these things: King - Christ from the first omer; Subjects - The Church from the second Omer; Territory - claimed at Atonement; Government and unification - set up during Tabernacles the white throne; New beginnings - the Eighth day.

Outcasts - the significance in the shofarAuthor: buildontherock | Date: 2023-09-05 | To me the beauty and wonder of the Feast of Trumpets is wrapped up in understanding the shofar in Jewish culture. I hope that through this message our appreciation for the vastness of the mind of God and the intricacies of His plan will be impacted more than a little
