The Prophetic Heritage and Destiny of Joseph; Part 1
Isaiah 17:1 The oracle/doom of Damascus. Behold Damascus, being deposed from being a city; and it shall become a ruinous heap. 2 The cities of Aroer being forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. 3 Then fortification (or, defense) shall cease from Ephraim, and dominion from Damascus. And the remnant of Syria shall be like the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts. 4 And
Joseph, Part 2: The Heritage of Joseph
Abraham was the father of Isaac, who was the father of Jacob, the father of Joseph. God gave Jacob the name Israel.
When Abraham was about 75 years old, God made him two promises:

The first of these promises made by God to Abraham was physical, one of race: his descendants were to become a great multitude, a chosen nati

Shortly after Jacobʼs blessing of Josephʼs sons Ephraim and Manasseh,
Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you [that] which shall befall you in the Last Days. Gen. 49:1

Ezekiel 38 - 39 Study Notes, Part 1
There is much speculation and false teaching about the End Times prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39. This series of articles will show where the “Gog-Magog War” fits into the overall scheme of End Time events.
For decades, many have taught that the Gog-Magog War will be the first major conflict of the End Times; whereas actually, multiple Bible prophecies reveal that it will be the last, concluding battle before the Millennium. Of these multiple parallel prop
