About

This site is a teaching ministry of the Disciples Global Network. It is designed to provide our readers with detailed studies on how God has fulfilled His Word in Jesus Christ, especially in his Death, Resurrection, and Exaltation. In him, all the promises of God find their meaning.

According to the Apostle Paul, ever since the resurrection of Jesus, the "forms of this age" have been in the process of passing away. All things have become new; nothing will ever be the same. This includes the identity of the people of God and the opening of His salvation to men and women of EVERY nation. Even now, the “age to come" is making inroads wherever the Gospel is proclaimed. The promised “new creation" began in him - The "firstborn of the dead," the "beginning of the creation of God."

I research, write, and teach. I am educated in the history, languages, and the transmission of the Bible (and related texts). My focus is on prophetic passages, especially from the books of Daniel and Revelation. My goal is to understand each one in its literary and historical contexts. Currently, I reside on Whidbey Island, Washington, USA.

OVERVIEW  -  Jesus is the present “ruler of the kings of the earth” in fulfillment of the promise to David of an anointed King  –  Revelation 1:4-6 .  From the very start,   Jesus is declared the “ ruler over the kings of the earth , ” and in the  present tense  – Even his enemies cannot move against him without his knowledge or consent. His exaltation is based on his past death and resurrection – It is an  accomplished fact .  He is the anointed king promised by Yahweh, and he now reigns over the earth from the Throne, indeed, over the Cosmos -  [ Photo by Willian B. on Unsplash ].

Word of the Son

OVERVIEW  -  God’s final and complete “word” has been “spoken” in His Son. All previous “words” were partial, preparatory, and incomplete  –  Hebrews 1:1 .  The  epistle to the Hebrews  compares what God achieved in Jesus to the provisional and partial revelation provided under the old covenant, especially in the Mosaic legislation. The contrast is between the finality of the revelation in Jesus Christ, and the partial and incomplete revelation provided by the “ prophets ,” which would include Moses. What was preparatory and provisional under the old regime, has been superseded by the complete and final “ word in a son .” - [ Photo by  Kiwihug  on Unsplash ].
