Below is a conversation I had today with Google AI. It demonstrates both the usefulness of AI as well as its built-in biases. Unless you push back against the surface answers, it just gives the “scholarly” consensus. But when you push back by disagreeing with it and asking very pointed…
The following is a transcript of my conversation with Google AI concerning Malachi and Jesus’ parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: TIM> Is there any record of a prophet named “Malachi” in antiquity? AI> No archaeological or non-biblical contemporary records of a specific individual named “Malachi” exist from classical…
In our Sabbath-eve home fellowship we are studying the book of Hebrews verse by verse. I am teaching from the LGV (Last Generation Version). I plan to post the videos weekly on the 4Winds website in the Bereans Bible Institute section, Module 10. I will not be posting the subsequent…
The Son of God is the one who appeared in the burning bush as God’s “Messenger,” the one who came down on Mt. Sinai (John 1:18; John 3:13; 1 Cor. 10:4,9; Jude 1:5). The Son thundered out the Ten Commandments in His own voice (Exod. 20; John 5:37). The people…
As I have been translating Matthew 11 for the LGV, I was forced by the Greek grammar of verse 14 to an entirely new conclusion about the two witnesses in Revelation 11. The question concerns whether or not John the Baptist completely fulfills the prophecy of Malachi concerning Elijah. Let’s…
I have often said in my preaching and teaching that bad doctrine always produces negative consequences, and sound doctrine always produces positive consequences. This is true both in the life of the Christian as well as in the effectiveness of the Gospel. This principle is evident concerning many doctrinal positions,…
The video below is an attempt by Dr. William Lane Craig to explain and justify the modern Evangelical interpretation of the Trinity. My comments are below. The problem with Dr. Craig’s argument is threefold: 1. Scripture calling Jesus “God” does not establish a divine nature nor His being 1/3 of…
In this Facebook Video, Dr. Scott Aniol explains the danger of some churches viewing “worship” music as a sacrament, a means to escort the congregation into the presence of God or to bring the divine presence into the congregation. But this concept is not biblical and may actually be anti-biblical…
The Bible is absolutely consistent; all prayers and requests should be directed to our Father in heaven. He is the only One we should directly address, the only one who answers prayers. 1. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus repeatedly commanded His followers to pray only to the Father….
Trinitarians often claim that Jesus raised Himself from the dead by His own power based on two passages which are both badly misinterpreted, John 2:19-22 and John 10:17-18. These are given as proof both for the doctrine of “hypostatic union” (that Jesus was fully divine and fully human simultaneously) and…
When I was pastoring Oasis Christian Church in Florida, I was forced to change my position on the topic of judgement and hell from “eternal torment” to “Conditional Immortality.” I came to this conclusion solely from my personal study of the Scriptures. The trigger that forced me to begin revaluating…
Below is a sermon I preached in 2013 shortly after I published my book, “The TIME of the END.” This sermon emphasizes the critical necessity of God’s presence among us as we are heading into the opening of the 7-sealed scroll of Revelation 5:1 — 8:1. Most Christians are woefully…
I finally completed translating the Gospel of Mark. All that is left to complete my translating the LGV New Testament is the Gospel of Mathew which I hope to complete this year. Randy and his Fellowship are working through the review process for the rest of the NT books. So…
Having studied biblical history and prophecy for most of my adult life, two significant truths stand out. First, the major events of history are no accident, especially regarding Israel and the nations that interact with her. Second, ancient history regarding Israel repeats. 1. The Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem and subsequent…
President Trump has announced May 17 as a national day of rededication of the USA to God. This exactly seven weeks before July 4th. During the ceremonies He is going to read from 2 Chron. 7 which describes the dedication of Solomon’s Temple and contains the following promise. 2 Chron….
Daniel 9:25 (NKJV) “Know therefore and understand, That FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE COMMAND TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times.” Evangelical Christian (Dispensationalist) commentators link…
“Israel is set to host the Middle East’s largest ever LGBT festival at the Dead Sea in June 2026. The new festival, ‘Pride Land,’ intends to transform the middle of the Judean Desert into a colorful pride city from June 1 to June 4.” This is intentional blasphemy. The location…
In February I posted an article called “Is this just a coincidence?” It concerned President Trump’s proposed “Independence Arch” in Washington DC which he first announced during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) in 2025, and whether this might have some kind of prophetic implications regarding the fulfillment of Revelation 12….
Every time you see the above clause in your English Bible, it is a FAKE translation. The Greek Text reads τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων, pronounced “tA mia tOn SabbatOn”, literally, “the first [day] of the Sabbaths.” The word σαββάτων (SabbatOn) translated ‘week’ is not even a Greek word, but a…
Our CHRISTIAN PASSOVER is Thursday evening, celebrating Jesus’ last Passover with His disciples! Jesus said He would not eat it again until He observes it with His disciples in His Kingdom (Luke 22:15-18, cf. Ezek. 45:21-25). The article below traces the history of the CHRISTIAN PASSOVER. John led the churches…
Most Evangelical churches teach a deadly brew of false doctrines regarding our salvation. When combined, these deceptions lay a trap for Christians in the end-times, setting their church members up for destruction like sheep to the slaughter: 1. That our “salvation” is complete from the moment we believe the Gospel…
When Jesus’ disciples asked Him about the signs they should watch for which would announce His coming and the “end of the age,” He began with the following warning: “Take heed that no one deceives you” (Matt. 24:4 NKJV). When Paul later addressed the coming of Christ and “our gathering…
From my several years-long interactions with so-called “Biblical Unitarians” I have come to conclude that their self-named doctrine is a pseudonym, a false title. The accurate title should be “Philosophical Unitarianism.” A careful and objective analysis of their handling of Scripture reveals that their denial of Christ’s “preexistence” is based…
In October 2025, President Trump proposed an enormous arch to be built in Washington DC for the 250th Independence Day celebration. The proposed design, pictured below, was first posted on X by the architect firm (Harrison Design) on Sept. 4th, 2025. It has a winged woman atop the arch flanked…
It is becoming increasingly obvious that we are now in the final stage of the fulfillment of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the great image, the feet of iron mixed with clay out from which will soon come the ten toes (10 kings). However, the odd mixture of incompatible materials, the iron…
One of the reasons so many Christian youths walk away from the Faith is because the churches only teach WHAT to believe instead of objectively demonstrating WHY what they are teaching must be true. They do not teach the “WHY” because asking the hard questions exposes some of their own…
I have been sounding the alarm that the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the reelection of President Trump will be the catalysts for the rise of the 10 kings out from the old Roman Empire. These are the 10 toes of Nebuchadnezzar’s image in Daniel 2, and the 10 horns…
I recently discovered that Amazon/Kindle has cancelled my account, meaning that they will no longer publish The Mystery of the Mazzaroth or The TIME of the END. Amazon has been selling The TIME of the END since 2012 and The Mystery of the Mazzaroth (2nd edition) since 2013. Both books…
In my post dated June 22, 2025, titled “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” I mentioned that nothing in Revelation requires that these four occur during the limits of the 70th Week. That seven-year period (known as the “Tribulation”) contains two specified blocks of time, 1260 days for the prophesying…
As I am working towards completing translating the Last Generation Version of the NT, I also intend to build a dedicated website for the LGV. I have purchased the domain name “thelgv.org” for this purpose (please save the link). Currently, that link points to the LGV page on 4Winds, for…
All four Gospel accounts take great pains to identify Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. He is identified in the Gospels by five different prophetic titles: “the Son of David,”1 “the Christ,”2 “the Son of God,”3 “the Son of Man,”4 and “the King of the Jews.” John’s Gospel…
Most Christians who are “Futurists” regarding Daniel’s 70th Week (7-year Tribulation) place the opening act of the book of Revelation at the beginning of that 7-year period. This is the opening of the first four seals in Revelation 6, releasing the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. This allegedly takes place…
Today, in the heart of “Mystery Babylon, Mother of Harlots,” the conclave to select a new pope commences. Bishops wearing purple and Cardinals wearing red1 have flocked to Rome for this occasion. The death of pope Francis at this juncture in world history is significant. The Roman Catholic Church has…
Last night Diane and I hosted the Passover meal, a sweet time of fellowship around remembering Jesus’ last Passover with His disciples. Rather than celebrating it when the Jews observe their Passover on the 14th or 15th of the month Nisan, this year I decided to observe it on the…
Revelation 7:13-17 (LGV) 13 Then one of the elders responded, saying to me: “Who are these dressed in white robes, and where did they come from?” 14 And I said to him: “My master, you have observed.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who emerge out from…
Eph. 5:17,24-27 (LGV) 17 Consequently, do not be foolish, but consider what the will of the Master is. … 24 Therefore, just as the assembly is subordinate to the Anointed One, so also wives [must be] to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as the…
Rev. 19:6-9 (NASB) 6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude and as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and be glad and…
It has been thirteen years since my book on biblical chronology was published. In part 1, I laid out the case that the earliest Christians were correct in their claims that Christ’s Kingdom would arrive on earth 6,000 years from creation and provided the biblical evidence in support. I then…
Throughout most of the book of Acts, Christianity was considered a denomination or “sect” within Judaism (called the “Nazarenes”1), the other Jewish sects being the Pharisees,2 the Sadducees,3 and the Essenes.4 Membership of Gentiles was allowed in the synagogues, but always in a secondary status and only by making a…
The distinction which divided Apostolic Christianity from all forms of Gnosticism was “preexistence” of Jesus, whether the divine Person of Logos (Word) actually “became flesh,” (a total transformation of ontological nature), that the Son of God literally “emptied Himself” of His equality with God by “becoming in the likeness of…
Philippians 2:5-8 provides a critical proof that Jesus literally preexisted as God’s divine Son before He “became in the likeness of men.” This passage, plus Colossians 1:15-20, and several from John are absolutely decisive as long as the interpreter sticks to the norms of lexical meanings of the Greek terms…
Hebrews 1:1-2 is used by ‘Biblical’ Unitarians as proof that the Son of God did not exist before the prophets. Yet they seriously misrepresent what the text actually indicates. They ignore the many similar statements in both the Old and New Testaments which limit this statement to God’s using the…
Richard from the “Faithful Theology” YouTube channel asked me to participate in a live discussion with himself and a Biblical Unitarian, Aaron. The intent was to answer a few questions from those who deny the pre-human existence of Christ. The conversation got off to a rocky start due to technical…
So-called ‘Biblical’ Unitarians claim that the Son of God only existed, before becoming flesh, only in the MIND of God as a figment of His imagination, in His “plan.” To support this claim, they typically begin with 1 Peter 1:20 which states that He was “foreknown” before the “foundation of…
Ephesians 6:10-13 (LGV) 10 Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Master and in the power of His strength! 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you may be able to withstand the trickery of the Slanderer, 12 because we do not struggle with flesh and blood,…
Every Sunday morning at 10:00am I teach our adult “Bereans Bible Class.” We just began a new series “Old Testament Survey” which I am audio recording. The audios and notes are being posted on the 4Winds main page for those interested in following along or using the material to teach…
I just completed preaching a 4-day revival (Oct. 13 through Oct. 16) at Dial’s Church in Gray Court, SC. This church has a very long history, founded in 1808 by Francis Asbury, (the famous Methodist circuit-rider evangelist who was ordained by John Wesley himself). The church was founded in the…
Tonight at sunset begins Rosh Hashana, the anniversary of the first day of Creation Week, and the birthday of Jesus Christ. This is the anniversary of the day that the “Word,” who was in the beginning with God and through whom all things were made, “became flesh and dwelled among…
One of the key differences between those who believe in the personal reign of Christ on earth for a thousand years and those who deny it is the question of the resurrection of the dead. Is there only one general resurrection of all of the dead? Or is there a…
According to the KJV, NKJV, and the Catholic Douay Rheims Bible, Nebuchadnezzar claimed that the fourth Man in the fiery furnace was “like the Son of God.” However, the vast majority of modern versions have “like a son of the gods.” This difference is because the KJV, NKJV do not…
