Jim Barfield, director of the Copper Scroll Project, discusses the mysterious text found in a cave at Qumran, near the Dead Sea, and the upcoming Scottish Bible Prophecy Conference April 24-26 in Troon, Scotland.
JUST AS God used the king of Tyre to describe His judgment against the rebel from Eden, the “anointed guardian cherub,” He used the pharaoh of Egypt to describe His judgment against the spirit of chaos, which was represented by the sea monster Leviathan.
Ezekiel’s lament over Tyre wasn’t a simple proclamation against a pagan neighbor of the Israelites, but an already-but-not-yet prophecy that will ultimately be fulfilled just before Armageddon.
SPEAKING TRUTH can be dangerous. The last days of Judah’s independence before the destruction of the Temple by Nebuchadnezzar are chronicled in this week’s study of the book of Jeremiah.
JEREMIAH’S LIFE wasn’t easy. His message was so unpopular that he was put in stocks and later imprisoned, and he had to live through two invasions by the Babylonians.
THE PROPHETS didn’t have easy lives. Today’s study follows Jeremiah through the last years of the kingdom of Judah, and the message God gave the prophet wasn’t popular.
