Speak His Word Only

 Exodus 1:1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob. Exodus 1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Exodus 1:3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, Exodus 1:4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. Exodus 1:5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.  Exodus 1:6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation. Exodus 1:7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. Exodus 1:8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. Exodus 1:9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: Exodus 1:10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight agai...

 The Great Sea Creatures and Leviathan: God's Authority Over the Dragons of the Sea An In-Depth Biblical Study of Psalm 74:13–14 and Genesis 1:21 Introduction: The Great Creatures of the Deep Throughout the Scriptures, the sea is presented as a vast and mysterious part of God's creation. Its depths contain creatures beyond ordinary human observation, while its powerful waters often serve as symbols of chaos, danger, judgment, and the mighty works of God. Among the most remarkable creatures mentioned in Scripture are the great sea creatures, called tanninim in Hebrew, and Leviathan, the formidable creature described in Job 41, Psalm 74, Psalm 104, and Isaiah 27. These passages raise important questions: What were the great sea creatures? Were they ordinary animals, enormous serpentine beings, or symbolic representations of hostile powers? Why does Scripture describe God breaking the heads of the dragons in the waters and crushing the heads of Leviathan? To understand these myste...

Introduction Matthew Chapter 7 concludes the Sermon on the Mount, in which Jesus Christ teaches His disciples the principles of righteousness and the character of those who belong to the kingdom of heaven. Throughout this chapter, Jesus addresses matters of the heart, the conduct of believers toward others, the necessity of prayer, the dangers of spiritual deception, and the importance of obedience to the will of the Father. The teachings of Jesus reveal that righteousness is not merely an outward appearance of religious devotion. True righteousness proceeds from a heart transformed by the Word of God and is demonstrated through humility, mercy, spiritual discernment, faith, and obedience. Jesus begins by addressing hypocritical judgment and concludes with the illustration of two builders whose houses are tested by storms. Between these teachings, He reveals the importance of seeking the Father, entering through the strait gate, recognizing false prophets, and understanding that merely...

In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing  serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. Isaiah 27:1 announces that the LORD will judge the powers that oppose His rule and threaten His people. Leviathan’s terrifying appearance does not determine the outcome. The decisive power belongs to the LORD, whose judgment prepares the way for restoration. To understand this verse, we must read it within Isaiah’s larger movement from judgment to deliverance, and alongside the different ways Scripture uses Leviathan imagery. The biblical context: judgment followed by restoration Isaiah 24–27 describes judgment upon the earth, the downfall of proud powers, and the hope of salvation. Within these chapters, God’s people are encouraged to trust Him while waiting for His righteous intervention. Immediately before Isaiah 27:1, the prophet declares: Isaiah 26:21 (KJV) “For, behold, the LORD come...

                                The Sower — The Scattering of the Seed  In Genesis chapter 1:11,  God created the seed to reproduce after his kind.  In this lesson, the word sower refers to one who scatters or distributes seed upon the ground. In this parable there are two sowers, the two sowers are represented here as males, males are the only one who produces the seed. one sowing the good seed in his field the other sowing tares.    Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: The sower is sowing good seed made like himself, according to Genesis 1:11,  where it says that the seed can only reproduce after its kind. The sower can only produce a seed make after his likeness, made after his kind, and made after his image. This sower is sowing his seed in his field. The field in th...

2 Timothy 1:13 “Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” — KJV STUDY PURPOSE Christian doctrine did not develop in only one language. The Scriptures and early Christian teachings circulated within a multilingual world involving: Hebrew Aramaic Greek Coptic Syriac Latin Geʽez As Christianity developed in different regions, Christians used the vocabulary available within their languages to explain biblical truths. Western Christianity became deeply influenced by Greek and especially Latin theological terminology . Ethiopian Christianity developed through Geʽez , while also receiving substantial theological influence through Alexandria and the wider Oriental Orthodox world. Therefore, when comparing Ethiopian and Western Christianity, we should ask two separate questions: Are they using different words? and Are they actually teaching different doctrines? Those are not always the same question. 1. THE LANGUAGE OF ETHIOPIAN...

 Introduction — The Woman Behind the Throne Throughout the Scriptures, the names of individuals often reveal something significant about their identity, calling, or character. Some names speak of divine promises, others of sorrow, and others become associated with the consequences of rebellion against God. Among the women recorded in the Old Testament, Jezebel stands as one of the most striking examples of a woman whose influence contributed to the spiritual corruption of a nation. Jezebel was not merely a queen who occupied a position of authority. She was a woman whose influence reached into the religious worship, political government, and judicial affairs of Israel. Her presence in the kingdom brought more than a foreign marriage alliance. Through her devotion to Baal, her persecution of the prophets of the LORD, and her manipulation of royal authority, she became a powerful instrument in leading Israel further into idolatry. Yet the account of Jezebel is not simply about a wick...
