This Journal Has Moved
Monday, April 9, 2007
Dear friends and other readers (if there are any),
I have discovered that my web host for Zion Christian Press has software built in that allows me to post my thoughts as easily as I’ve been doing here, but from any computer anywhere that has internet access. For that reason and a few others, I won’t be updating this site any longer. All future posts will be to:

Wounds and Welts and Open Sores
Sunday, March 25, 2007
Why should you be beaten anymore?
Why do you persist in rebellion?
Your whole head is injured,
your whole heart afflicted.
From the sole of your foot to the top of your head
there is no soundness—

Ephesians 5:24-27
“Love as Christ loved...” Is there any other command in all of Scripture that is more

I may or may not be commenting on the last days here, but I don’t doubt what I have to say here will be interpreted Apocalyptically to some, as it does involve the end of the rule of flesh.
The universally accepted interpretation of the term “time” in this verse of Revelation Chapter 12 is one year, and the whole period “time, times and half a time” is the same three and a half years spoken of by the prophet Daniel. While I am no Greek scholar I find in the Strong’s Dictionary that “time” in
