So thought I’d check out the horse supply section just to see – curious – if they carried Ivermectin paste. Sure enough – two stuffed rows of it. Some on sale, $5.99. Dwarfs the other horse treatment supplies.

Introduction
“By the mouth of two or three witnesses may every word be established.” Matt. 18:16; 2 Cor. 13:1; Deut. 19:15; etc.
Most Christians know that the story of the First Coming of Christ was revealed in “types and shadows”–allegories– in the Old Testament. One such allegory was Abraham offering up in sacrifice his “only son” Isaac, at or nea

Forty days has been the standard biblical period for trial, testing, and tribulation.
The pounding downpour and great upwelling of water during Noah’s Flood lasted 40 days, and even though they were preserved, surely Noah and all with him were greatly buffeted and distressed until God ended the storm.
At the beginning of the Exodus, 40 days marked the initial period of trial and testing of the Israelites. It ended only after they overcame the attack of Amalekites, after which they had

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

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
