Mark's Book of Jeremiah Blog. Saturday, August 28, 2010. Jeremiah 2, Part One. The good ol' days". Vs 2-3).

Mark's Minor Prophets Blog: February 2010
http://marksmpblog.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Mark's Minor Prophets Blog. Saturday, February 27, 2010. The prophet and his prophecy. But this is in a Messianic context and probably doesn’t refer to the Babylonian captivity. I think the book was written early, i.e, late 9th century B.C. The context of the book is a devastating locust plague, “my army”. We have to understand chapter 3 as referring to the New Testament church age. I’ll discuss that more when we get there. Mark K. Lewis. Friday, February 26, 2010. But if they would “return to the ...

Mark's Minor Prophets Blog: June 2010
http://marksmpblog.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Mark's Minor Prophets Blog. Tuesday, June 29, 2010. The return of Judah. Vs 1-12)—The last few chapters of Zechariah are quite difficult, among the most challenging in the Bible. They appear to be Messianic, but it’s not always clear. There are some verses in chapter 10 that point to the church age, and I will look at them as I precede through this chapter. But I’m not going to be dogmatic about anything because of the obscurity of the material. And “comfort in vain”. Comes the cornerstone,”. V 5) In oth...

"Who can endure the day of His coming? V 3) and "Judah and Jerusalem". In verse 4 within a context that is definitely refer...

Mark's Book of Psalms Blog. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Obtaining the holy hill of God. Vs 1-5)—This psalm of David asks one question and answers it. The question is found in verse 1: “LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? It’s a good query. In effect, who is righteous before God? Who is the one who pleases Him? Who will live with Him forever? So, what is the answer? He who walks uprightly, works righteousness, and he who “speaks truth in his heart”. Mark K. Lewis. And t...

Mark's Book of Psalms Blog. Thursday, April 29, 2010. A plea for justice. Vs 1-5)—In this song, David again trusts the Lord to vindicate him based on the king’s righteousness: “I have walked in my integrity, I have also trusted in the Lord”. V 1) Such is the only way we. Be vindicated. David asks the Lord to test him, “prove me, try my mind and my heart”. Ever before him, and walks in God’s truth (v. 3). Avoiding the wicked and hating evil is part of that (vs. 4-5). Protect me from sinners. 8220;I will w...

http://marksrevelation.blogspot.com/2010/08/revelation-17.html
Mark's Book of Revelation Blog. Saturday, August 7, 2010. The scarlet woman: Rome. This is probably the most difficult of the final chapters. The identification of the woman (harlot) introduced here is not hard to determine. She sits on "many waters". V 1), which is defined in verse 15 as "peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues,". V 2)- a revelry of paganism that demonstrated Rome's dominance over the peoples it ruled. The woman herself sat on a "scarlet beast". Which was full of "names of blasphemy,".

Mark's Book of Revelation Blog. Saturday, August 21, 2010. Babylon is fallen, is fallen". Vs 1-8)- A lot of the language of this chapter is derived from the Old Testament in regards to the ancient city of Babylon. "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen". V 3) Rome's "fornication" (. Immorality) and wealth are also reasons for her destruction (v. 4). God's people are not to get caught up in Rome's glory and splendor "lest you receive of her plagues". The wicked sorrow over "Babylon's" doom. Vs 9-20)- Thi...
