The Book of Joshua is the sixth book of the OT - the first of the Former Prophets (i.e., the historical books, which conclude with Nehemiah). In broad outline, the book tells of Israel's conquest of Canaan under Joshua after the death of Moses (chaps. 1-12) and Joshua's subsequent distribution of the land among the tribes (chaps. 13-19). Six cities are then designated places of asylum (chap. 20), and forty-eight are reserved for Levites (chap. 21)....

Jesus said: "Pray this Way... [the Father's Kingdom] come, His will be done, On earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). Long have Christians struggled to do "good" so they could die and go to Heaven, thinking Heaven was some faraway place in the sky. Actually the Heaven they should be concerned about is the heaven that is coming on earth. It is here that God's will is to be done like it is already being done in Heaven. So called "heaven" is actually...

The time has come to call things as they are in the world of most of Christianity. Mainline Christianity and religion in general is missing the mark so far as God is concerned. Christian churches throughout the world are in a holding pattern waiting for something to happen. A visit to nearly any Christian church will reveal that the basis of their doctrine is that they are waiting: for a rapture, a second coming, a tribulation or a sign from God....

The author was going through some old files and came up with some stuff he hadn't published. So he threw it all together and made something out of it. If nothing else it should be interesting as there are some off the wall topics included, as well as some attempts at poetry. But if you look at its various topics, you might find something interesting.
For instance, "Was America Founded as a Christian Nation"? Or the history of Babylon or the history...

Introduction to Numbers. The fourth book of the Hebrew Torah (The Law) called the "Pentateuch" in Greek, is the Book we know as "Numbers". In the Hebrew Bible it is called "be-midbar" meaning "in the wilderness." In the Greek Septuagint version of the Bible (LXX) it is called "Numbers," and this name is now the usual title of the book.

In subsequent pages we will learn much about Satan: his ways, how he works deception on the whole world, his role as the accuser, his vicious, murderous nature, his role as God's servant, his power, his weaknesses, and his drive to survive even after he has been condemned to eternal suffering by God in his own created pit of hell. Although Satan has been limited by God in what he can and cannot do we must not forget that he is very real and very dangerous...

Deuteronomy, the fifth Book of the Jewish Torah and the Greek Pentateuch, was so named by the Greek version of the Old Testament the Septuagint (LXX). The book got its name by a misreading of Deut. 17:18 which indicates that the Book is "a copy or repetition of the Law previously given at Sinai." Actually the Law given in Deuteronomy is somewhat different from the Sinai Law. Jews call the Book "Elleh haddevarim" meaning "These are the Words" or simply...

In these verses, Jesus spoke a profound truth that has not been completely understood.
