We need to understand the darkness growing around us and defeat it. God has provided us with a way by living a similar moment of darkness in the person of the Son. As the ministry of Jesus on earth was coming to an end, the enemy was getting ready for the final attack. You may remember the words we read in the last post: "darkness did not comprehend it", the same phrase "ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν" is translated also as "darkness did not overcome it." The original Greek seems to work like Italian … [Read more...]
A Meditation On Logos
Lots of pages were written about the meaning of the Greek word Logos (Λόγος) and I do not plan to add anything here. Christian translators decided to use the basic meaning: Word.

Vanishing Sovereignty As Kingdom Comes
Some are neglecting to appreciate the one advantage of President Trump losing the contest: Mike Pence will never be one heartbeat away from being President again.

One traitor and ten cowards sufficed to condemn the Son of Man, it took many more to cut the political legs of hour President. But don't let your hearts be troubled, this was supposed to happen. First of all, because no one is above Jesus. There … [Read more...]
Calling the Flaming Sword
«The prideful rebellion of the devil always comes back to one point: The devil was not content with the nature God gave him, which was to be the greatest of all the angels, so he made some expression of desiring to be “like the most High.” According to Tradition, the archangel who cast the devil from Heaven is Michael, whose name is a question: “Who is like God?” It would seem that this humble retort was a rhetorical one, but angels don’t debate. Angelic knowledge is complete and intact, so the … [Read more...]
