This sermon explores the significance of the rite of circumcision and why the Jewish people were so angry when they thought had brought an uncircumcised Greek into the Temple (Acts 21:27-29).The purpose of circumcision was to be a sign and seal of having been born again (Romans 2:28-29) and of being declared righteous by means of faith (Romans 4:9-…

After working my way through this message I believe I need to state the following."I was wrong about John Mark" is true in 2 Timothy 4:11, but it is ALSO true that John Mark matured.Spurring God's people is a job for pastors, but it is directed to everyone in Hebrews 10:24-25.Being grieved and angry inside does not mean that Paul lost his temper in…

Here we examine how God sent Elijah into the very heartland of Baal worship: Zarephath belonged to Sidon (1 Kings 17:7-11), and Ethbaal was the king of Sidon. His daughter Jezebel had married King Ahab (1 Kings 16:31-32).Together they persecuted the followers of Yahweh( and made the worship of Baal the state religion of Israel (1 Kings 18:1-14). A …

Ahab represents a dreadful apostasy in Israel: Unlike those who have gone before with their turning away from divinely ordained worship, Ahab openly worships Baal.Terrible things take place during his reign, such as Hiel of Bethel rebuilding the accursed city of Jericho.However, along with Jehu, Ahab is the most important character in the Old Testa…

I had an April Fool's prank played on me and that led me to preach on the importance of sticking to the Bible for teachers (James 3:1).We live in an era of nonsense and wild speculations. Consider the eclipse scheduled for tomorrow, April 8, 2024.We must remember that the signs recorded in Matthew 24:4-8 take place throughout history, but there was…

We can prove that the Lord Jesus rose from the dead.The guards and the Sanhedrin KNEW that he rose. All of these people worshipped money and would not repent of their lust for money in spite of Jesus' resurrection (Luke 16:31).No matter what tortures the followers of Christ underwent, the issue was "Keep your mouths shut." It was never, "Where is h…

This message focuses on the events of Holy Week, looking at them from different perspectives.In the purely natural realm, Jesus was crucified because he offended virtually everyone: the wealthy class of the Sadducees who profited from the Temple, the party of the Pharisees whom he told were deserving of hell, and his own followers who were disappoi…

I. What's in a name?King David's great grandson's name was changed to "My Father is Yahweh" (ʾabiyyāh/ʾabiyāhû, אֲבִיָּה/אֲבִיָהוּ) in 2 Chronicles 13:1 from "My Father is Yam" (ʾabiyyām, אֲבִיָּם) in 1 Kings 15:1. II. We must not underestimate the impact of King Solomon's apostasy on his son Rehoboam and grandson Abijam (1 Kings 11:1-11).III. Yam …

Rehoboam enjoyed prosperity for three years (2 Chronicles 11:13-17).Then he and all Israel with him abandoned the law of the LORD (2 Chronicles 12:1).Because they had been unfaithful to the LORD, he authorized Shishak king of Egypt to attack Jerusalem in the fifth year of King Rehoboam (2 Chronicles 12:2). And God stated, "You have abandoned me; th…

Ahijah was a blind man who could see (1 Kings 14:4-5).Only the good die young (1 Kings 14:13).Why does God himself use crude language, and why do modern translations attempt to wash out God's mouth? (1 Kings 14:10; Cf. 1 Samuel 25:22, 34; 1 Kings 16:11; 21:21; 2 Kings 9:8).Jeroboam's wife is given a horrible burden (1 Kings 14:12).Ahijah announces …

Today's message, Journey into Apostasy, focuses on five kings of Judah:David (1010 to 970),Solomon (970 to 931),Rehoboam (931 to 913),Abijam (or, Abijah) (913 to 911), andAsa (911-870).Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done (1 Kings 15:11). In other words, three kings did evil: Solomon, Rehoboam, and Abijah.Sol…

King Rehoboam foolishly rejects the counsel of the old men who served his father and follows the advice of the young men who had grown up with him ((1 Kings 12:5-11).This results in a political division in 931 BC, and while King Jeroboam I had divine authority to secede from the House of David (1 Kings 11:29-36), he did not have authority to start …

When King Jehoshaphat was confronted by Jehu the prophet, he repented and demonstrated that repentance in changes he made as king of Judah (2 Chronicles 19:1-3).So that the nation would not relapse in his absence again, he educated the people in God's word and appointed judges who would rule in "the fear of the LORD" (2 Chronicles 19:4-7).Today we …

Jehu the prophet showed great boldness in confronting King Jehoshaphat as he returned from joining with King Ahab of Israel (2 Chronicles 19:1-2). Jehu has the boldness of Nathan who declared, "You are the man!" to David in response to David's rage against a rich man who stole and slaughtered a poor man's lamb that "was like a daughter to him" (2 S…

As I worked on my manuscript, I caught a couple of mistakes, so I would encourage you to read the transcript.As we continue our message from two weeks ago, we see that the book of Revelation is not only a book on worship; it is a book about worship as warfare.As we sing the New Song that names the name of the Lord Jesus explicitly (Revelation 5:9-1…

First of all, as always, I made a couple of mistakes, such as referring to the first century of the Christian Era as Before Christ, and I also got a couple of dates wrong: 1690 instead of 1688. And I failed to acknowledge that Queen Mary who was married to William of Orange was the daughter of King James II. People misread the Book of Revelation an…

As we examine Revelation 14:8-12, we discover an immediate fulfillment in the first century of the Christian Era, when the Romans burned the city of Jerusalem and destroyed the Second Temple with fire on the 9th day of the Jewish month Ab, 656 years after the Babylonians had destroyed the First Temple on that same day in 586 Before the Christian Er…

Jesus' parables about the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price (Matthew 13:44-46), echo some of what people experience in the modern American Christmas.You are the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price: The Lord Jesus Christ left the glory of heaven (Philippians 2:5-8; John 17, especially verses 5-6, 9, 20-24; 2 Corinthians 8:9) beca…

The Star of Bethlehem was a supernatural phenomenon, and it is of no use in dating the birth of Christ.The death of Herod the Great in 4 Before the Christian Era is very valuable, along with the time frame of his murdering the male children in the area around Bethlehem before his death. That means that the Lord Jesus was born five or six years Befo…

Revelation 12:13-17 describes Satan's attacks on two groups of Christians, the Jewish believers who fled Jerusalem before it was destroyed and the gentile believers.The themes are taken from the exodus: Eagle's Wings and Flooding Torrents of Water.the abomination of desolation has its initial fulfillment in the time of Antiochus Epiphanies, but it …

Who is the woman of Revelation 12:1-6?Genesis 37:9-11 describes Israel this way as Joseph reveals his dream.But Genesis 3:1-5 gives us the two main characters of Revelation 12:1-6: Eve and the Serpent (Hebrew: nāḥāš, נָחָשׁ; Greek: óphis, ὄφις). Revelation 12:9 reveals who the Serpent really is: "The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpen…

Today we concluded the passage on the Seven Trumpets.The Seventh Trumpet corresponds to the Last Trumpet of 1 Corinthians 15:51-53.Our souls do not sleep (2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23; Hebrews 12:23; Revelation 6:9), but our bodies do, awaiting their resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:51-55).Adam rebelled against God, and Satan seized control (J…

The Seventh Trumpet of Revelation 11:15 picks up on a theme from the book of Joel.Joel 2:1 calls for blowing the trumpet and sounding the alarm because it is the Day of the LORD. A mighty army is coming to destroy Jerusalem. Joel 2:10-11 describes this Day as accompanied by shaking in heaven and on earth, and the lights of the heavens no longer shi…

As we go through the book of Revelation, I am attempting to show the evidence for the major interpretations: Preterist, Historicist, Futurist, and Idealist. I am doing this because I see some truth in all four schools of thought.While Full Preterism is heretical because it denies the future Second Coming of Christ and our physical resurrection (2 T…

Until the 20th century, historicism was the dominant understanding of the book of Revelation, and Muhammad (570-632) was identified as being foretold in the 9th chapter, going back to English commentator Bede (672–735). This is the link to the handout for today's sermon: https://www.rbvincent.com/muh.pdf -- it is useful to have as you listen. The c…

Revelation 9:11 tells us that Satan is that fallen star of Revelation 9:1.The abyss is where our Lord descended and from where he led captivity captive (Psalm 16:10; 68:18; Ephesians 4:8-10; Romans 10:7).Judges 7:12 helps us understand Revelation 9:13-16. The Midianites, the Amalekites, and the others gathered against Israel are all children of Abr…

When we examine Revelation 8:3-5, we are reminded of Exodus 19:16-19, when the LORD came down on Mount Sinai.Numbers 10:9 informs us one purpose of the Silver trumpets was calling on the LORD when Israel went into battle.The First Trumpet of Revelation 8:7 reflects the Plague of Hail (# 7) recorded in Exodus 9:22-26.The Second Trumpet of Revelation…

I made a verbal slip in my sermon when I referred to the Second Temple as having been built by Solomon. It wasn't, and I corrected that in the transcript.Where was Jesus crucified? He was crucified in Jerusalem, figuratively called Sodom and Egypt (Revelation 11:7-8). Isaiah said, "Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law o…
