Covenant, Corporation, and Constitution
Under precedent dating back to Israel’s covenant with God at Mount Sinai, corporations (assemblies, congregations of people) – be they public, private, for- or non-profit, or national – are formed by two-part written covenants. The first part, commonly called the articles, summarizes the basic beliefs, principles, and purposes for which the corporation is founded. (At Mount Sinai, this was the Ten Commandments.) The second and longer part, the by

Careers in the Kingdom
God doesn't change, but mankind's circumstances do. Therefore, God has made different covenants with the peoples of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and the Church. Each covenant was tailored to fit the needs and abilities of the people in their own time, their own Age. Each covenant had unique elements, yet all of God's covenants provid

Antiochus Epiphanes and the End Times
Part 3: The Prophetic Fulfillment
Daniel 11:21-37 prophesied the most significant acts of Antiochus IV Epiphanes (r. 176 – ca. 164 B.C.), one of Daniel 11ʼs human Kings of the North, and also the acts of the Jews during his rule. “In the time of the end [of the age],” essentially the same deeds, in the same seque

“After Me, the Deluge” – King Louis XV (r. 1715 - 1774)
The American and French Revolutions were contemporary. And they both addressed similar complaints: citizens fed up and beyond by their overbearing, over-taxing, power-loving government officials and associate plutocrat-monopolists in business and finance.
In both lands, the revolutionary zeal led to a moment when a ‘shot was heard around the world.’
The two revolutions differed in that, in the American case, the elite

The Antichrist – a term broadly used throughout the Church to describe a single man who will come to rule the whole world – is a myth based upon an old rumor.
This rumor has its first and only biblical reference in 1 John 1:18 –

When the Holy One reveals His Presence to those upon earth, both past (at Mount Sinai) and future (from heavenly Mount Zion), those of fleshly and soulish natures cannot enter within the sphere of the Presence, which manifests as a mass of clouds having the Light of God at its center.
