The Word and the Cross

Ezekiel is given visuals to go along with his preaching. Horrible judgment is coming, says Yahweh. Famine, pestilence, sword, scattering. But a remnant...

The incedibly miraculous call of Ezekiel. He is to go to the rebellious house of Israel in captivity.

We are saved by grace through faith. Spurgeon gives concise defintions of both.

We finish the Lamentations of Jeremiah where he laments for himself and his people, but with an occasional ray of hope inserted.

An acrostic-style poem by Jeremiah. His utter anguish at what has happened to his people, telling us more of why he is styled the "weeping prophet." Oh that we could mourn for the lost this way.

The amazing climax of Jeremiah about a judgment that still has not taken place fully.

More of the mystery of Babylon. A quick peak at Revelation where we see similar wording about Babylon's future. Mystery!

One more passage illuminates what is being said: Revelation 13, where John sees what Daniel saw! A final summary and challenge.

Prophecies against Ammon, Edom, and others. Then we enter the "finale", an incredible but mystifying future look at "Babylon."

For those who have come to Christ, Spurgeon has an encouraging word to those now wanting to be holy.

Prophecies against Egypt, Philistia, and Moab. Egypt will recover. Moab, only in the latter days.

Daniel 7 Commentary. Matches Daniel 2 exactly! And Daniel wants to know about this 4th kingdom again, seen in this new light.

Don't go to Egypt thinking you will be safe there! But they do... and they take Jeremaih with them! Two views of history. A surprising word to Baruch.

The Eastern Leg offers several possibilities: The Byzantine Empire followed by the Ottoman Empire but inhabited throughout with the "Orthodox" Church. We move then to Daniel 7 where a prophecy that parallels Daniel 2 appears.

Zedekiah wants to hear the word of the Lord... he does, and then disobeys it. Jeremiah spared, remains in Judah as exiles are taken away. Gedaliah is the new governor. Mudered. Murderer Ishmael works for Ammonites and brings captives away from Judah, only to be rescued by Johanan.

The Eastern "leg" of the Roman Empire. Byzantium/Constantinople/Istanbul The Ottoman Empire/Muslims Eastern Orthodoxy

Jeremiah dictates the Word of the Lord to Baruch: twice! The prophet comes close to death.

The Rome of tomorrow. The ten toes/2 feet. Iron plus clay. Islam invasion of Europe.

Restoration is coming! Zedekiah given a warning! Servants freed then recalled. God angry. The marvelous holiness of a family in Israel.

The face of Rome we know today. Not so threatening but still very influential. It doesn't go away, like all the other empires did...

How can a just and holy God "justify" a sinner? Mr. Spurgeon will help with this serious question.

Babylon being rebuilt? Did Roman Catholicism pick up where Roman Empiricism left off?

The New Covenant coming! Jeremiah buys property in a neighborhood that may soon be destroyed! Why?

Rome, phase 4: Papal Rome, the Roman Catholic System. Rome did not end when the Empire ended. Rome still lives. Comparison of the Old testament background of Babylon with the New testament background of Rome. Two powers strikingly alike!

Jeremiah is commissioned to write a letter to those who have already gone into exile. They are encouraged to make the best of it there, and look forward to their restoration.

Rome, the Eternal City (says man). Rome replaces Greece. Phases 1, 2, and 3 of Rome.

The whole world to be judged. Plan to murder Jeremiah is thwarted. Israel and surrounding nations' peoples to submit to Nebuchadnezzar or die! Hananiah's false prophecy and its result.

The third kingdom Daniel saw was the Greek Empire of Alexander the Great, who unified much of the world under his reign. After his death and many struggles of his generals, the kingdom narrowed down to two separate and rival kingdoms. In other words, Greece follows the same contours as the human body.

The coming of the Branch! False prophets who go but are not sent. How the false prophets speak out of their own imaginations... like today?

The broken jar and what it meant. Pashhur punishes Jeremiah and is cursed. Jeremiah's message for King Zedekiah. Jeconiah ends the royal line of Solomon.

We are in Daniel 2, beholding the statue in the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar. God has told us what the dream means. Here's the beginnig, the head of gold and the chest and arms of silver, the first and second kingdoms.

This is good. Spugeon takes the simple but powerful statement of Paul, "God justifies the ungodly" and drives it home with such accurate force as to make any believer hear and rejoice.

The pure in heart will see God. That's not poetry. That's fact, from the lips of Jesus.

Jeremiah prays and is answered. Judgment... and still restoration! The potter and the clay.

Plots against Jeremiah. The ruined waistband. False prophets speaking "peace." Coming judgment, no chance of changing God's mind. But restoration!

What it will be like to see there the One we have loved here.

A message of condemnation given to God's people as they were on their way to "church." Imagine such a thing today...

Israel saw the pictures of Jesus. We see Jesus through the Word, by faith. But a better view is coming.

17th century Puritan preacher Manton shows us a little of what it will be like when we see Jesus. From "Free Grace Broadcaster" Summer 2026 edition.

Judah and Jerusalem are about to be devastated by a nation from the north.

God through Jeremiah shames Judah, yet still pleads for her to return.

Partr 1 of Spurgeon's classic book, "All of Grace" in which he lays out as clearly as it can be done, the plan of salvation. Pass this one on... First 3 chapters. "God justifies the UNgodly" is a miracle from Heaven!

Chapter 36 in my book. A rapid survey of the final suras of the Koran (61-114) , since little new is presented. A summary of teachings we must defend. Recommendations for further study.

End of isaiah with precious promises. Beginning of Jeremiah with predictions of judgment as Israel's rejection of their God is spelled out.

How to treat the prophet. And, the so-called "satanic" verses explained.

The elect and the Millennial Kingdom. Judgment on the evil ones. The coming of Jesus in judgment. New heavens and earth.

Intercession, heaven, and hell... per the Koran.

Outward religion disdained in Heaven. Evil confessed. The bright morning of Messiah's Millennium.

We finish the portrait of Jesus in Isaiah 53, then move on to a combination of exquisite joy in the Millennium and awful judgment coming on Israel's leadership.

Prophecy? War and wives.
