Having seen the message of 2 John, we now come to the next short book, which is 3 John, has a different message, and John writes to a different person and for a different purpose. He writes here to the beloved Gaius. If we notice in 2 John, he does not write to the belovedContinue reading “The Message in 3 John”

The Message in 2 John
Two of the shortest books in the Bible are the second and third epistles (or letters) of John, known as 2 John and 3 John. If the Bible has such short books, is there a message from God to us in these very short books, that could both be read in one sitting? There definitelyContinue reading “The Message in 2 John”
Genesis to Deuteronomy
It is very striking that we have the first five books in our Bible, Genesis to Deuteronomy, in the particular order, and for a reason also. The names of these books have meanings, and the meanings will help unravel the reason as to why they are in this particular order, why Genesis is first, thenContinue reading “Genesis to Deuteronomy”
Overview of Proverbs
The amazing and interesting book of Proverbs has seven main sections which are clear. The beginning of each section is not a proverb itself, but about hearing instructions or inclining the ear. The book is attributed to king Solomon, with the exception of chapters 30 and 31. The Bible mentions that Solomon spoke 3,000 proverbsContinue reading “Overview of Proverbs”
Overview of Job
The events in the book of Job is perhaps in between Genesis 11 and 12, while God was dealing with Abram (before his name was called Abraham) at the same time. Job is one of the oldest books, and it is generally believed that the events occurred just after the flood. It was just afterContinue reading “Overview of Job”
Tabernacle Divisions
This is an attempted division of the Tabernacle, found in Exodus 25-30 as per the instructions that God gave to Moses when he was on the mountain for 40 days. I used the aid of respected writers/commentators, along with clear sections/divisions in the Bible, the Word of God. This is to encourage a study ofContinue reading “Tabernacle Divisions”
Jonah compared with Christ
The book of Jonah is a very interesting book in the Word of God. It is found in the Prophetical books, in a section that is referred to as the ‘minor prophets’. Many lessons can be learned from Jonah, who has been often called the disobedient prophet. However, what is our reaction to God callingContinue reading “Jonah compared with Christ”
Feasts in the book of Esther
It is a wonder that even though the name of God, reading the Scriptures and prayer are absent from this wonderful little book, there are feasts recorded in this book. There are three feasts, each one with a significance in the historical aspect, but each feast comes with very important lessons to learn. Following fromContinue reading “Feasts in the book of Esther”
The Gospel in the book of Esther
There are two books in the Bible that bear the names of women. One is Esther, and the other book is Ruth. Both are short and both tell us a story of some point in the history of Israel, with very significant meanings. Ruth was a Moabitess (a gentile woman) who had faith to goContinue reading “The Gospel in the book of Esther”
Thoughts on Enoch
There is not a lot mentioned in the Bible about Enoch, but what is mentioned in just a few parts of the Word of God is striking. Enoch did not have such a large biography like Abraham or Joseph, but what is mentioned about him is sufficient to say that he walked with God, pleasedContinue reading “Thoughts on Enoch”
