• Isaiah 30:18: “And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted that he might be merciful upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment, blessed are all that wait for him.”   “He was there all the time, Waiting patiently in line, He

  •   Psalms 71:5: “ For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust from my youth.”   I don’t know about you but somehow I cannot see David hoping God will come through.  Our modern concept of the word hope implies a sense of uncertainty.  In other words, “I hope the Chicago

  • א   Genesis 6:6  “And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”   It seems more and more I am being asked about the Nephilim or giants in Genesis 6.  I believe much of  the interest comes from the discovery of the Dead

  • Zechariah 1:3: “Therefore say thou until them; Thus, saith the Lord of hosts, turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of Host, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of Host.   Is it just me or do you get the impression that it is the Lord of Host who is speaking?  So

  • Deuteronomy 26:7: “And we cried unto the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our cries and saw our affliction.” When I was teaching in an academic setting, I never referred to the gematria because it is usually considered very unacademic.  The Western world pretty much rejects the gematria and relegates it to
