Spreading The Word
As the English Chaplain at Pyeongtaek University and an ordained Minister, I frequently need to prepare and present sermons.
These are those. A collection of thoughts, sermons and presentations.

What Is TRUTH
September 2024
This morning, we will define what TRUTH is and then proceed to deal with two of the most important Eschatological passages in the Bible:
Hosea 6:1-2 and Daniel 9:24-27.
Many disciples (not the 12) in John 6:60 confronted YAHSHUAH the Christ for telling THE TRUTH.
Even in His day, hardly anyone believed what Jesus told them; today history is repeating itself, even among the “Shepherds.”
PTU Weekly Bible Series
This semester, we will be looking at the Bible from a Legal point of view.
By that I mean we will look at the original languages of the Old and New Testaments, which were the inspired Word of God.
The Old Testament (Covenant) consists of 39 Books, which were originally written in Hebrew and Aramaic and then ultimately translated into Greek, known as The Greek Septuagint Version of the Bible, of which Jesus, His Disciples and Apostles, quoted from in the New Testament.
The New Testament (Covenant) consists of 27 Books, which were originally written in Greek. Greek is probably the most precise language known to mankind and it is very specific. Most Protestant Bibles consist of a Masoretic Hebrew Text Old Testament and a Greek New Testament. The two do NOT correspond one to another. However, the Greek New Testament DOES match with the Greek Septuagint, to the point that there is direct quoting from each text.
We will be using that as our base.

THE MAJOR PROPHETS
Today, we are going to talk about Bible Prophecy, which makes up over one third of the Bible, as it relates to the Prophetical Books of the Bible.
YAHWEH sent 16 different prophets to both the House of Israel and the House of Judah. These 16 prophets can be assigned to different periods in Israel’s history.
The pre-Assyrian prophets who prophesied to the House of Israel were Joel, Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, and Micah.
The pre-Babylonian prophets who prophesied to the House of Judah were Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Obadiah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah.
The prophets who preached to the Restored Nation of Judah were Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.
Today we will cover the four Major Prophets of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel, which are only called “Major” because of the long length of these Books.
