The vision described so far in the first chapter is the basis upon which the rest of Ezekiel’s prophecy is built. Its message, as we have tried to show, was:-
The angelo-cherubic chariot was very soon to bring into the …
Having described to us the approach of the storm cloud from the north, and then the cherubic chariot with its living creatures and its wheels, Ezekiel now directs our attention to the most awe-inspiring part of the vision – “The appearance …
We have examined in some detail the way in which the Scriptures present Yahweh in the work of keeping the way of the tree of life. He rides the cherubic chariot and on it he comes to the earth to …
In the previous article we endeavoured to fit the first six verses of chapter 1 into the context of the rest of Scripture. The whirlwind, the cloud and the fire, coming from the north, spoke of God’s impending judgment …
Verses underlined, tramlines, subject symbols down the margins (maybe in different colours) marginal notes – the lot. Is a heavily marked Bible really the sign of a diligent Christian?
We say NO. We suggest that the number of marks in …
It is important to realise that Ezekiel conducted his ministry as a prophet, not in Israel, but in the land of Babylon, or Chaldea. He was in captivity, having apparently been carried away at the time of King Jehoiachin’s captivity …
“Behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.”

The Scripture is at pains – great pains – for it is mentioned three times in four verses, to stress that Ishmael was …
In the last article we tried to show how the Arab background of the’ book of Job can explain a great deal which has puzzled many – the poetic speeches, the language, and the origin …
In the last article we showed how there was among certain descendents of Abraham a tradition of worship of the One True God, quite apart from the institutions of the nation of Israel. Our first example …
We know a great deal about God’s purpose with the Israelite nation, called by God to be His particular people. We read in our Scriptures of His bringing them out of Egypt, and giving them a revelation of His ways …
We come now to our final study – and I would like to draw a word-picture of the last coming of God’s King (Jesus Christ) to Zion, in terms of the Song. I have already demonstrated that …
“The Church’s Love for Christ” – so my Bible heads the page of the first chapter of the Song of Solomon. In previous articles I have suggested that, in the first place, the Song was a dramatically enacted allegory of …
You don’t of course expect all your readers to agree with all your argument. I would therefore like to mention two points.
