Isaiah 9:8-10:4 This passage has a lot to say about the anger of God (9:12,17,21:10:4) and His fury (9:19,10:5). God who is the most loving person in the Bible is also the angriest. The bible tells us God is love, it never says God is anger. Ch 1-5 the disaster that people are Ch 6 […]

Numbers 14 Why is it that gloom spreads faster than good news – here is it Old Testament Israel, so it’s not just the Brits who love gloom.

Numbers 11 The pressure of leading gets too much for Moses so God anoints the 72 leaders with the Spirit to prophecy – hear from God. 70 turn up to the gathering and two stay behind – but God still anoints them because He is full of grace. Moses comment “I wish that all the […]
