  41. God's Final Word on the Destiny of the Unsaved--A consideration of God's statements about the fate of the unsaved amongst mankind in the last chapters of the Book of Revelation.

  42. Are You His Sheep?--A brief look at today's division in Christendom to identify who the division is about and why the division exists and what will be the ultimate solution.

This research was done in response to Assertion #10 of "Metaphorical Mephisto".

  53. What is Job 20:3-7 all about?--A short study to diligently consider the spiritual implications of this passage (devoted to a very dear friend!).

  55. The Knowledge of Good and Evil--An examination of Genesis 3:22 by looking at the Hebrew text and also the historical narrative both of which insist that Adam was created with the knowledge of good and evil!

  56. THE MULTITUDE OF COUNSELORS--God uses this phrase in three places. This study looks at the spiritual implications of this phrase showing that the glory all goes to God!

  57. Christ is Preeminent Indeed!--Study 1--The first in a series of studies to thoroughly examine the book "Christ is Preeminent". The book asserts "that God, in Job 20:4, declares that man has been wicked, hypocritical and in terrible trouble with God since man was placed upon the earth".

  58. Christ is Preeminent Indeed!--Study 2--The second in a series of studies to thoroughly examine the book "Christ is Preeminent". This study focuses on the book's interpretation of the multitude of counselors and on special situations.

  59. All We Like Sheep--examines the passage from Isaiah 53 verse 6 and shows the sinless state of perfection from which the elect sheep having been created have gone astray.

  60. Christ is Preeminent Indeed!--Study 3--The third in a series of studies to thoroughly examine the book "Christ is Preeminent". This study focuses on the book's interpretation of "from the foundation of the world" and also covers other matters relating to Adam.

  62. Christ is Preeminent Indeed!--Study 5 Final--The fifth and final in a series of studies to thoroughly examine the book "Christ is Preeminent". This study focuses on the book's assertion that the most important truth about God is His humility and that God created the universe in a humbled state in need of a Savior at the outset.

  63. Jesus' Birth Date and the Bridge Date of the Biblical Calendar--A response to Assertion #8 of the Article "Metaphorical Mephisto" covering the birth date of Jesus Christ, the principles of the reign of the kings, and the bridge date of the Biblical Calendar.

  64. THE PERIOD OF THE JUDGES__450 YEARS--Many Bible students have puzzled over the chronicles of the period of the Judges because of the so-called discrepancy of 450 years in Acts 13:20 and 480 years in 1Kings 6:1. The latter period covers not only the period of the judges but also the reigns of Saul and David and the wilderness sojourn of 40 years. This study shows how these periods are reconciled and is a response to Assertion #5 of the Article "Metaphorical Mephisto".

  65. THE SCATTERING OF ISRAEL TODAY--A deep look at the fragmentation of the saints of today from a calendar-timing approach while paralleling events from the Book of Esther and the earth's division in the time of Peleg; all a spin off of another assertion from the article "Metaphorical Mephisto".

  66. The Rigidity of the Biblical Calendar--Some Bible students make the claim that the Biblical Calendar's foundation date is a year off.  This study carefully examines such a claim by looking at a year later or a year earlier than the dates given in the Biblical Calendar.

  67. THE PRESENT 42 MONTHS OF DEATH AND FAMINE--this study fills in the period from Feast of Trumpets 1994 to the start of the present 42 months which itself is a part of the 1335 days of Dan 12:12 and gets a little further into the characteristics of the 42 months itself.

  68. Are You Really That Tough?-- a look at two of the most outstanding prophets (one from each Testament, each mirroring the other) and seeing their human sides reminding us that we too are no different.

  69. THE PRESENT THREE AND A HALF YEARS--A continuation of the earlier studies dealing with the 42 months from Tabernacles in 2007 to Purim in 2011-a period in which the saints have been spiritually killed!

  70. Questions for Annihiliationists and Universalists--An addendum to the study "GOD'S FINAL WORD ON THE DESTINY OF THE UNSAVED" listing various comments and concerns from discussions with the email group.

  71. The 200 Million Horsemen of Rev 9:16?--Recent teachings state that this is the number of elects to be saved from earth. This study examines this teaching.

  72. THE MOST FORMIDABLE THREAT TO THE PROCLAMATION OF 2011--a documentation of 2Peter 3, Psalm 90 and Genesis 7 verse 4 showing that all time references are literal!

  73. THE INAUGURATION OF THE HIGHEST--A reflection of the inauguration of the 44th President of the USA--an event which mirrors the imminent coronation of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords with the timing of this most auspicious occasion.

  74. Is God a God of a Social Gospel? -- A very pertinent question as it relates to the body of Christ on earth at any time in history! Nothing today has changed from the days of the church in the wilderness--men's hearts have not changed.

  75. TILL I COME! -- a spiritual consideration of 1Cor 11:26-28 which many churches would use as a crutch for perpetuating with their abominations.

  76. DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU THAT NOTHING EVER OCCURRED TO GOD? -- A very pertinent question that demands our full attention. Why are we here? This reflection seeks to give answers to these things!

  77. What Indeed is a Timepath? -- With so many timepaths floating around even as we get closer to 2011 we should be able to discern which are true and which are false. This study gives illustrations to enhance discernment of the sheep.

  78. What Is in a Name? -- Do names tell a story? Do names ever tell a story?

  79. Awake Oh Sleeper! -- We have a command to obey! It is now or never!

  80. NOT ONE STONE UPON ANOTHER! -- Conservative Bible students all over see the stones in Matt 24:2 as the elect of Christ who have been scattered today. But how correct are they?

  81. A Brilliant Question from an Annihilationist! -- Did the Pharisees in Jesus' time of 33 AD literally kill Zacharias who lived in 517 BC when the temple was rebuilt? Jesus said they did! Is Jesus lying?

  82. What is the reason why the KJV hardly uses the name “Jehovah” in the Old Testament? -- An unbiased analysis! "Jehovah" is used over 6,000 times in the Old Testament and is translated as "Jehovah" only 4 times in the KJV but the YLT is very consistent as "Jehovah" in the 6000 plus usages!

  83. THE WONDERFUL NUMBERER OF SECRETS! -- To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven! Yes, and these times are secrets that are numbered by the Wonderful Numberer in the earthly life of the Wonderful One and are now revealed to His elects in the time of the end!

  84. Your Treasures Are a Direct Reflection of the Blessing You Received in Adam via Noah!  -- God blessed Adam at the creation and repeated the blessing in Noah after the flood. Did this blessing also flow through to the elects and non-elects through time? If it did, then in what manner, and how does it show up today and what are the lasting effects?

  85. The Wonderful Numberer of Secrets in the Book of Acts -- The Wonderful Numberer of Secrets is still teaching pertinent time nuggets such as the actual date of the last historical time reference in scriptures. He also extends the calendar beyond 33 A.D. with historical time clues in scripture that establish the accuracy of the NASA moon cycles and the Julian Calendar during the early church age. He shows that the yearly anniversaries of the early church were celebrated and that He uses Feast Days today as important time reference points.

  86. The Wonderful Numberer of Secrets in the Seventy Weeks of Daniel! -- Yes, He indeed has a foreordained calendar from before creation that He rolls out in time and He anchors the Julian/Gregorian calendar to His calendar in the second coming of Christ and in the first coming! Very, well too that the 70 weeks of Daniel have an integral part to play in all of this, overlapping both comings!

  87. THE THREE WOES, ARE THEY CHRONOLOGICAL? -- Prominent Bible scholars of eschatology do not have the three woes of Revelation 9 and 11 as chronological. Well are they and how do they relate to the 42 months and 1260 days of Revelation 11 and of the time, times, and a half time of Revelation 12, and the 1335 days of Daniel 12?

  88. God’s Vital Evidence to the Patriarchal Period of His Calendar -- God always comes through and He is never late! This study examines the irrefutable mathematical proof that Jacob was in Haran for 40 years as God declares in Genesis 31 and shows how God provided the insight increasingly over several generations.

  89. THE MOST FORMIDABLE CRITIQUE OF THE BIBLICAL CALENDAR -- This documentation addresses the claim by the Biblical Calendar's greatest critic that the word "Ishmael" as used in Gen 28:9 is a metonymy and not the man, himself! If this is indeed so then there is no mathematical proof for Jacob being 40 years in Haran and the Patriarchal Period of the calendar is in great jeopardy!

  90. The Most Formidable Critique of the Biblical Calendar--Round 2 -- In this study the responses to the earlier study are considered and we receive further enhancements that the Biblical Calendar is God's truth and cannot be brushed aside by man's creative arguments.

  91. A Comprehensive Rebuttal of Allegations Against The Biblical Calendar -- The "Metaphorical Mephisto" along with prominent Bible students today hold the views obtained from some church fathers and older religious secular writings that Israel sojourned in Egypt for only 215 years, Kohath was the immediate son of Levi, and that Amram and Jochebed were the biological parents of Aaron and Moses. Does God agree with these views?

  92. THE LION EATETH STRAW AS AN OX! --this often quoted phrase from Isaiah 11:7 is often viewed as having its fulfillment in the new heavens and the new earth because it is once more quoted in that immediate context in Isaiah 65:17-25. But is this understanding all there is? Could the phrase not be supporting the very pivotal points of the Biblical Calendar from creation to eternity future? Read on!

  93. IS THE SON IN MARK 13:32 SATAN AS MR. CAMPING ALLEGES? -- Mr. Camping along with many of his Family Radio teachers and supporters allege that Jesus in making the statement of Mark 13:32 was referring to Satan as the son who did not know the day or the hour! But, are they correct? God answers for us!

  94. The Dating of the Life of Job -- An examination of the Biblical statements pertaining to Job reveals the period Job lived in and shows that this was the first Book of the Bible that was written. The ethnicity of Job is also revealed!
