Day 345 – Zech 11-12; Rev 2Day 345 – Zech 11-12; Rev 2
Zech. 11-12 I don’t know how anyone can believe that the Bible is not God’s work. It is far too linked together and detailed in ways that shouldn’t be possible. This passage in Zechariah is ...
Day 331 – Ez 30-32; 1 Pet 4Day 331 – Ez 30-32; 1 Pet 4
Ez. 30-32 There is a lot of prophecy against Egypt and Pharaoh too. I wish I understood some of the deeper meaning behind these prophesies. To me, it all just looks like an extremely long ...
Day 323 – Ez 11-13; 1 Tim 6Day 323 – Ez 11-13; 1 Tim 6
Ez. 11-13 There were a few things of interest to me in this reading of Ezekiel. 1 Tim. 6 Interesting, how the selfish ambition of man corrupts his every endeavor. As Paul pointed out, some ...
Day 318 – Dan 11-12; 1 Tim 1Day 318 – Dan 11-12; 1 Tim 1
Dan. 11-12 I did a brief search on Daniel 11. It seems that there is fairly firm agreement on the historical fulfillment of the first 35 verses. So much so, in fact, that some have ...

Is. 50-52 The book of Isaiah is full of prophecy about Jesus. I see it in chapter 50. “I gave my back to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who pull out the ...
Day 267 – Is 34-36; Rom 4Day 267 – Is 34-36; Rom 4
Is. 34-36 I wonder why the book of Isaiah includes this story of Sennacherib and Hezekiah? I get Isaiah’s involvement with the situation. Still, this historical account seems a little out of place with the ...

Day 152 – Ps 39-41; John 12:27-50Day 152 – Ps 39-41; John 12:27-50
