There is a passage which speaks of the millennium, when Jesus Christ will rule upon earth, upon David's throne for a thousand years. But I think we can also take it and apply it spiritually to ourselves right now. It is found in the Psalms. "The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the …

Seven Times Brighter
In the Millennium, when Jesus Christ reigns literally on earth from David's throne in New Jerusalem, the sun will be seven times brighter! It is already extremely bright; and probably the brightest thing we experience on this earth, but God says in Isaiah, "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of …

Jesus, Jonah, and a Sea of Wrath
Jonah is a type of Christ in very many ways, but perhaps the most interesting has to do with Jesus' payment for our sins. Jesus alludes to this, saying, "But [Jesus] answered and said unto them, an evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but …
