- Russia Unleashed - The Bear With Three Ribs
[News-and-Society:Religion] One of the most perplexing questions in Ezekiel's prophecy of Russia's invasion of Israel is this: where is the United States when all this happens? This articles describes the downfall of the United States and the rise of Russia in the future.
- The Rise of the United Nations - The Leopard With Dove's Wings
[News-and-Society:Religion] The third beast of Daniel's vision, the leopard with four bird's wings, is lead by a individual from Greece that will be the next Secretary General of the United Nations. This article describes the role of the United Nation in future events.
- Kurdistan, Home of the Antichrist - The Terrible Beast of Daniel's Vision
[News-and-Society:Religion] Unlike the previous three beasts, the fourth beast is not compared to an animal; it is so dreadful in appearance that Daniel can only describe its features. It is dreadful, terrible and exceedingly strong. It has great iron teeth; the fourth beast represents the fourth kingdom of Daniel chapter two, the kingdom of iron.
- The United States-Iraq Alliance - The Lion With Eagles Wings
[News-and-Society:Religion] If Daniel's vision of the Ram and the Goat is a description of events that are yet to happen and not a prophecy of the military campaign of Alexander the Great, what does this say about Daniel's vision of the four beasts? This article provides biblical evidence that the "lion with two wings" is a symbol of the alliance between Iraq and the United States.
- Prophecy - The United States and Ezekiel's Riddle of the Two Eagles
[News-and-Society:Religion] One of the most enigmatic prophecies in the old testament is Ezekiel's prophecy of two eagles that cause Israel to flourish economically. I describe how the first eagle is a description of the United States and its role in protecting the Jews since 1948 when Israel was established as a modern nation. The second eagle is a prophecy that is yet unfilled when the future nation of the antichrist, Babylon, causes the nation of Israel to flourish in the end times.
- Prophecy - The Coming War Between the United States and Iran
[News-and-Society:Religion] Does the Bible predict a future war between the United States and Iran? The vision of the ram and the goat that was seen by the prophet Daniel may provide some clues.
- Old Testament History Revised - Zerubbabel and Alexander the Great
[News-and-Society:Religion] Did Alexander the Great conquer Persia 70 years after the Babylonian Captivity of Israel? The Bible provides evidence that Alexander the Great would conquer Persia within seventy years of Nebuchadnezzar's life.
- Old Testament History Revised - The 70 Years of the Babylonian Captivity
[News-and-Society:Religion] Did the Persia Empire last over 200 years or only 21 years? I provide evidence from the Old Testament book of Daniel that illustrates that Daniel's 21 day fast for Israel was a prophetic description of the 21 year reign of the Persian Empire.
- Biblical Chronology - Was It 400 Years or 430 Years in Egypt?
[News-and-Society:Religion] How long did the Israelites live in Egypt? Was it for 400 years as described in the book of Genesis or 430 years as described in the book of Exodus? I present in this article my analysis of this classic enigma of the Bible.
- Biblical Chronology - Were the Israelites in Egypt for 430 Years?
[News-and-Society:Religion] Did the descendants of Jacob of the Old Testament live in Egypt for 430 years? Many biblical chronologists believe that this period could not have lasted more than 215 years. I provide evidence in this article that accounts for the missing time based on how children were adopted in the Old Testament.
- Biblical Chronology - Egypt Without a Pharaoh for 300 Years
[News-and-Society:Religion] Was there a period of 300 years, that occurred after the Israelite Exodus, when Ancient Egypt did not have a Pharaoh? I present evidence from Greek Mythology and the Greek historian Herodotus for this idea.
- Biblical Chronology - Synchronizing The History Of Israel With Ancient Egypt
[News-and-Society:Religion] Was Ramesses III the Pharoah of the Israelite Exodus rather than Ramesses II as many historians believe? This article presents compelling evidence from the Bible that Ramesses III must have been the Pharoah of the Israelite Exodus and rationale for the placement of significant historical events of the Old Testament in the Ancient Egyptian timeline.
- Biblical Chronology - Synchronizing the Great Flood With the Pharaohs of Egypt
[News-and-Society:Religion] Is there historical evidence of the Great Flood during the reigns of the Egyptian Pharaohs? This article presents a possible scenario based on evidence from David Rohl's book, "Pharaohs and the Kings".
- Redating The Israelite Monarchies - More Archaeological Support for a Revised Biblical Chronology
[News-and-Society:Religion] Did the Persian Empire only last 21 years and not the 200 years claimed by historians? If this assertion is true then the Old Testament timeline should be shifted forward by 180 years. I present archaeological evidence from authors David Rohl and Peter James that support this shift in the historical timeline of the Old Testament.
- Redating the Exodus - More Archaeological Evidence for a Revised Biblical Timeline
[News-and-Society:Religion] Did the Persian Empire last for over 200 years as proposed by historians or only for 21 years as described in the Old Testament? If the Persian Empire lasted only 21 years then the Old Testament historical timeline must be shifted forward 180 years. This article presents evidence from Dr. Randall Price's book "The Stones Cry Out" that supports shifting the date of the Exodus of Israelites from Egypt forward by about 180 years.
- Short Persian Empire - Archaeological Evidence From Peter James' Book "Centuries of Darkness"
[Book-Reviews:History] Did the Persian Empire last for over 200 years as proposed by historians or only for 21 years as described in the Old Testament? I have presented astronomical evidence and biblical evidence for this idea in previous articles. I provide in this article archaeological evidence for a "short" Persian Empire from Peter James' classic book on history, "Centuries of Darkness".
- Was Ahasuerus The King Of The Biblical Book Of Esther Actually Cyrus The Great?
[News-and-Society:Religion] Was Ahasuerus, king of the book of Esther, actually Cyrus the Great (Cyrus II) before he had conquered Babylon? Was the king Ahasuerus of the book of Daniel, actually Kyaxares that was mentioned in the writings of Herodotus the Greek historian? I present evidence from the origin of the name of Ahasuerus and historical evidence from the book of Daniel and Esther to confirm these novel ideas.
- Old Testament History Revised - The 390 Days of Ezekiel
[News-and-Society:Religion] Is it possible that the Persian Empire only lasted 21 years and not the 200 years proposed by historians? I proposed in my last article, "Jeremiah's Eclipse", that the book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament described a solar eclipse that occurred over Israel in 393 B.C. that occurred during Nebuchadnezzar's destruction of Jerusalem. I present evidence in this article that the prophet Ezekiel confirms a date of 390 B.C. for the destruction of Jerusalem from his famous prophecy of the "390 days".
- Old Testament History Revised - Jeremiah's Eclipse
[News-and-Society:Religion] Did the Persian Empire only last 21 years and not the 200 years claimed by historians? This article provides evidence of a solar eclipse that occurred during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar mentioned in the biblical book of Jeremiah that provides support for a "short" Persian Empire period.
- Old Testament History Revised - What If the Bible is Correct About History?
[News-and-Society:Religion] Can we trust secular historians to provide the historical timeline for the Old Testament when they are so anatagonistic to the principles in the Word of God? The article is the first in a series of articles that details one Christian's attempt to reconcile archaeological, astronomical and historical observations to the Bible using a single principle: "The Bible is the final historical authority." These articles re-present ideas first published in the book "The Fourth Day: Why the Bible is Historically Accurate."
