Early Church History: Part 5, The Gospel in Britain

Early Church History: Part 3, Meet the Cast of Characters

Yesterday I wrote incorrectly that Josephus connected the fall of Jerusalem with the death of James. That connection is made by Eusebius, not Josephus--at least not in the copies… https://oldc5.godskingdom.org/daily-weblogs/2007/07-2007/early-church-history-part-3-meet-the-cast-of-characters/

The Success of the Kingdom: Part 5, The Seven Bowls

As I wrote earlier, Nov. 30, 2000 ended the 7-1/2 year transition from Saul to David, prophetically speaking. But this statement is not fully accurate. 2 Sam. 5:5 reads, "At… https://oldc5.godskingdom.org/daily-weblogs/2007/07-2007/the-success-of-the-kingdom-part-5-the-seven-bowls/

By the Hezekiah Factor, we declared the Jubilee on September 23, 1996 (the Day of Atonement, or Jubilee). I think I should explain this briefly for those of you who have not read… https://oldc5.godskingdom.org/daily-weblogs/2007/06-2007/the-success-of-the-kingdom-part-2-the-hezekiah-factor/

The Success of the Kingdom: Part 1
