Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20-21, ESV). From the beginning of Christendom, two viewpoints have dominated the topic of how […]

May those who love your salvation say evermore, “God is great!” (Psalm 70:4b, ESV). After reading the above verse, read carefully this verse from another Psalm. . . May those who love your salvation say continually, “Great is the Lord!” (Psalm 40:16). Psalm 70 and Psalm 40:13-17 read the same. My question: When reading these Psalms,

Two of my favorite quotes in the Bible are found in Esther 4:14 and 16. . . And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this? (v. 14b, ESV) Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish

Прощение – ключевая тема Библии! Все мы нуждаемся в Божьей милости, как сказано в Послании к Римлянам 3:23 “потому что все согрешили и лишены славы Божией,”. В 129-м псалме мы видим раскаявшуюся душу, взывающую к Богу. . . “…Из глубины взываю к Тебе, Господи. 2. Господи! услышь голос мой. Да будут уши Твои внимательны к

“…сохрани жизнь мою от страха врага; укрой меня от замысла коварных” (Псалтирь 63:2б-3а). В 1 Царств 16 пророк Самуил помазывает пастуха Давида царем Израиля. Давиду пятнадцать лет. Во 2 Царств 5 старейшины Израиля собрались вместе, чтобы провозгласить Давида царем Израиля, когда ему было тридцать лет.

Psalm 106 has no listed author, and it contains such condemnation of Israel that perhaps the author wanted anonymity. The anonymous author begins the Psalm with praise. . . Praise the Lord!
