Zerubbabel is a type of Christ in the Old Testament. As he led his people out of Babylonian captivity, we get a glimpse of what it will be like when Christ will take us home. He possessed a heart for God’s Word. He finished the course with joy. He possessed a deep desire to worship. How can we learn from Zerubbabel’s example? Read lesson: 1249A

Zerubbabel was one of the Babylonian captives. He was chosen by King Cyrus to lead the Jews out of Babylon and back to their homeland to build their temple. As we will see, God placed his hand upon this man and chose him to sit in an exalted position in the restored kingdom and through his life to paint a graphic picture of the One who sits even today at the right hand of the Father.

Phinehas’ entrance into Israel came at a time when the Word of God was being violated and the heart of God broken. In the midst of flagrant violations of God’s holiness, Phinehas moves on stage zealous for God’s honor. When God’s honor is at stake, the believer must not remain idle. When men and women who profess to be Christians violate basic Scriptural principles, the church has an obligation to...

God is looking for those who will be faithful. Tychicus was such a man. Tychicus was the Apostle Paul’s right-hand man. He was available to Paul to do what was needed. There are many jobs in the Christian community that just require faithful availability. There needs to be someone who is always ready to do the little things. Someone who, if he says he will do it, does. Read lesson: 1247B

Jochebed was a Hebrew woman who refused to obey the Pharaoh’s edict to drown her child. Instead, she hid her child as long as she could and finally put him in a makeshift basket of reeds along the Nile. Thus began the life of Moses. By faith, she had to give up what was hers, because what was hers was God’s. How can we give our children back to God? Look to the life of Jochebed. Read lesson: 1247A

Elizabeth was a woman of faith and humility. She, like Abraham, had enough faith to believe that “what God has promised, He is also able to perform.” She waited for years for the promise to come true; but when God spoke, she believed. Read lesson: 1246B

Many times we read of children who grew up in a wicked environment with ungodly parents, but by God’s grace there would rise up a man or woman whose heart beat for God. Such a man was Josiah. What characterized this man? “He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, not turning aside to the right or to the left.” We find two things consistent in the life of Josiah – a hatred for sin and an awe f...

God has a way of meeting His people’s needs, and often it is through other people. God used Barzillai to provide for the needs of King David while he was in hiding from Absalom. He was hungry, tired and thirsty, but he risked his life to see that the needs of King David were met. Here was a man who understood how to give of himself unselfishly. When God’s man has a need, let nothing stand in our w...

Micaiah was a prophet of the Lord. He stood alone in speaking God’s truth to the people regardless if what he said went against popular opinion. He was a man drawn into a difficult situation with impossible odds, and all he had to do was to agree with the majority, but the majority were not in harmony with the Word of God. When all about us compromises are being made, would we consider the Word of...

Jehu was a little-known king of Israel. Through this one unheralded hero, Jehovah overturned generations of witchcraft, immorality and disobedience to His laws. All he possessed was a record of obedience to God’s commands – it was not because of his ability, but because of his availability. However, later in life, Jehu did not keep the law of the Lord with all of his heart. Jehu began to lose batt...

Abigail was the portrait of an intercessor. Being willing to stand in the gap for her foolish husband, Nabal, we see Abigail as a living legend that serves as an example to us today. Perhaps there is someone God has placed in your path who has taken a foolish path. Like Abigail you have been called to the role of an intercessor. Interceding is dangerous, tiring, and hard. It makes us vulnerable an...

We have 1,000 years plus eternity to cover in one lesson as we travel through Revelation, chapters 20, 21, and 22. We will look at the millennial reign of Christ, the Great White Throne Judgment and take a look at the New Jerusalem. God will restore life as He intended it to be. The characteristics of this “new life” are etched in the golden strands of those last two chapters of God’s Word so that...

In this lesson, our parade of prophecy continues its march into the future to explore the final 3-1/2 years of the tribulation period. It is a time in history in which war will be waged at Armageddon. At the end of this period, our Lord will appear and will usher in a new age when the New Jerusalem shall come down out of heaven, and every eye shall see Him at last. Read lesson: 935A

In this lesson, we will look at the cast of characters and at the list of events that make up the first 3-1/2 years of the tribulation. Political deceit is followed by war, famine, plagues, earthquakes and a cosmic explosion that will literally shake the mountains from their foundations. Yet, even though people have tasted of His anger and know of His holiness, they do not turn to Him, at least no...

The central focus of our study will be that period in history known as the “tribulation”. We will be asking ourselves two basic questions. What is it? What will happen? We will also be asking ourselves as we go what lessons can we learn as we view what life and death will be like when the lights go out on planet earth, as indeed one day and perhaps very soon they will. So, sit back, hold on and pa...

Just what does the Bible have to say about our marriage to Christ? To answer that question, we will take you on a pilgrimage in this lesson through the land of parables, into the village of Ephesus for Paul’s illustration of God’s great mystery. We will then go on to the book of Revelation, where God specifically refers to the event that brings to reality the wedding so graphically portrayed throu...

We have been called to be ambassadors for Christ. What are the guidelines for an ambassador? As we are called home, we will also be called to give an account of whether we have followed the guidelines of being an ambassador. In this lesson, we will look at the great event on the horizon of eternity, the Bema Seat or Judgment Seat of Christ. This is an experience that every child of God will have....

The rapture – fact or fiction? As we look into the rapture of the church at the second coming of Christ, we will look at 18 facts that the Scripture states concerning the rapture. The miracle of His coming is unfolded by God in a series of statements that leaves us with absolutely no doubt as to what we need to know about that incredibly exciting moment in history. It is a moment that could well t...

Would you like to know what the future holds? This is the first in a series of lessons on what will happen on Earth and better still what will happen in heaven at the end of this age. Like a spine tingling thriller that will end with an incredible conclusion, the Bible has etched in indelible ink the entire story. Not only will we, as believers, be changed in a twinkling of an eye at the return of...

As we wrap up the living legend, Elijah, we see God taking Elijah home in a whirlwind. What a picture book of reality his life was! We can think of Elijah as our hearts begin to resist God’s call, or when we are called to some thankless task, or when we are called to some magnificent cause and feel terribly unequipped, or as we sit depressed under life’s juniper tree. God gives us the whole story...

What happens to a man when he takes his eyes off of the Lord and puts them on himself? That happened to Elijah, right after he witnessed the power of God in all His glory. He was tired and exhausted. Satan began to feed him lies, until he thought that he alone stood for God. His eyes were placed upon himself and selfpity set in. What was the Lord’s reaction to Elijah? What three attitude problems...

It was after Elijah’s greatest victory, as he saw the Lord destroy the prophets of Baal and the people crying out that the Lord is God, that Elijah finds himself in an unexpected place – under a juniper tree. Satan knows when we are most vulnerable. Perhaps it is after an exhausting day when all of our energies are spent, or perhaps we are caught up in the victory letdown – that is when we are on...

Elijah has outlined for the people of Israel the one great principle that governs all the other principles in man’s relationship with God. It is this: Either you belong to Him or you don’t. Either He is your Saviour and Lord, or He is nothing to you. Elijah was about to reveal his God to all the prophets of Baal. No matter how big the circumstances seem, nobody should surrender. The odds that seem...

This was a big moment for our friend, Elijah. God has taken him along an indirect route to prepare him for this moment. There was a confrontation between Ahab and Elijah. The question was, “If the Lord is God, then follow Him. If He is not, then Satan is, so follow him.” Someone is in charge of the spirit world that dominates this universe, and it has to be either Satan or God. We cannot claim to...
