The resurrection of Lazarus by the Master was a great scene in Jesus of Nazareth, a film directed by Zeffirelli.  One can only imagine that the actual event must have been an event seen by many!  Jesus identified himself as the "Resurrection and the Life", or as the one that raises the dead.  Some day Jesus will raise all the dead!  Recently someone asked me about the whereabouts of the soul of Lazarus while dead.  I indicated that it was i...

I've already shown how the 70 weeks of Daniel 9 is presented incorrectly by Tim LaHaye and many others.  And how the 70 weeks of years is a 490 year period that ran from 457 BC until 34 AD.  You can not logically snip the last week off and put it hundreds of years after the 69th week, although this is what some do and try to make it into a endtime 7 year Tribulation.

If you put "Mark of the Beast" into the Google search engine it will bring up millions of pages.  Almost all of these pages are garbage and only add to something already controversial.  In the midst of this swirling debate a few have kept level heads.  They reveal that several aspects of this issue have been overlooked.

The Mark of the Beast is talked about plenty of times but very little is said about the Mark of the Lamb!  This mark is placed on the... Read More
