Today I was pondering on this phrase in Joel, and realised it can refer to two different events, not just one day. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. Joel 2:31, KJV In Joel, we see the phrase “the […]
Writeup on Psalm 73
I recently heard a sermon on this Psalm, and have decided to expand more on it; why do the wicked prosper? This Psalm is written by Asaph, a worship leader / singer of Israel. v1: The Psalmist begins with a well-known fact, that God is good to those who obey Him. v2: He contrasts this […]
God will Pour out His Spirit on Israel (Joel 2:28-29)
Today I was reading through Joel a few more times. And finally came to this verse, which I always vividly remember quoted in Acts 2 during The Day of Pentecost. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, […]

Jesus the Eternal Word (John 1:1)
Today I was meditating on this verse. For those reading it first time, it may be quite obscure who / what “the Word” refers to. I will try to explain in this article. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1, KJV The “Word” […]
Writeup on Daniel 1
This article started out as a writeup for wisdom as described in the Bible (e.g; Solomon, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Daniel), but the Holy Spirit has led me to write on Daniel 1 instead. The book of Daniel was written during a tumultuous period, where the Israelites were under the Babylonian exile which lasted for seventy years. […]
My Understanding on the Pretribulation Rapture

God’s Commissioning to Difficult Assignments (Ezek 3:4)
