I’ve been studying the book of Matthew in the Bible recently, and there some interesting things that I’ve picked up on this time that I’ve not really taken note of before.
Matthew 26:6-13 is one very good example. These verses are from when Jesus was in Bethany with his disciples, they were at the house of [...]

I started reading through the book of Matthew again recently, and in Matthew 2, it talks about the three wise men (or magi in some translations) that came from the East. Something I’ve heard and read many times, but I got to thinking, why was it a star?
1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem [...]

I’m a Seventh Day Adventist, not a Jehovah’s Witness, Mormon or anything else, yet so many people don’t seem to know the difference. That’s fine, I’m happy to explain what I believe. It just frustrates me a bit when I’m having a conversation with someone and I get told something along the lines of
“So what [...]

Over the past few weeks, I’ve setup a couple of new blogs. What’s that? I hardly update this one or http://matthewbrown.net.au as it is? I know, I know, I have lots of things to put on them and no time to do it!
The two new blogs are both for very good reasons though!
Show Me In [...]

The concept of the rapture is an interesting one. It is Biblically based, but the popularised concept in the “Left Behind” series, isn’t really Biblically correct at all. If anything, it’s backwards.
I’ve been studying this a bit, and the key things to the rapture concept seem to me to be, the saved will be taken [...]

Recently I’ve been listening to a series of prophecy seminars presented by Pr David Asscherick. They’re quite interesting studies, I just thought I would share a few verses with you though that he pointed out which compare the characters of Christ and Satan, so clearly.
Have a look at Isaiah 14:12-14:
12How art thou fallen from heaven, [...]

This section of Leviticus continues on from the first 12 chapters in explaining the law and elaborating on it. There are many interesting laws through here, but there were a couple of things I noticed in particular.
The first is that Leviticus 18:22 is the first reference in the law that homosexuality is wrong. Sodom and [...]

I find it quite interesting that, even before Christ came to be the ultimate sacrifice, God made it as easy as possible for the poor to come to Him, as well as the wealthy, as is illustrated in Leviticus 12:8, if a woman can’t afford a lamb, she is to provide doves or pigeons as [...]

My Bible is a student study Bible, so it has lots of notes here and there and has a brief introduction to each book of the Bible just giving an overview of it and things like that. At the start of Leviticus, it says that many people lose interest in Leviticus when reading through the [...]

This last part of Exodus largely covers God’s requirements of the tabernacle and His instructions on how it should be set up. By and large, the things covered here are things I have gone over before, but there were a few little things here and there that I found quite interesting.
Chapter 35 starts off with [...]
