Religion

Ø  Message from God: Warning and instructions for today’s political and religious leaders, the media, Islamo-fascists, the people and Barack Obama (September 7, 2009)

Ø  The Hand of God  (PDF) (for downloading) – Understanding the past so that we may understand the present and our future – demonstrating that the history of mankind has been guided by God through the ages; that the guidance has continued to the present and will continue in our future.

Ø  Rebuttal of The Jesus Papers (PDF) (for downloading) – Rebutting the claims of Michael Baigent in The Jesus Papers – demonstrating the continuing attack on Christianity by the popular culture and the ignorance of those making the claims.  Baigent is also the author of Holy Blood, Holy Grail – a book upon which much of Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code and his later work is based.  Both authors make the same mistake – confusing the traditions of the Catholic Church with the teaching of the Bible.

Ø  The Hand of God in Prophecy – Follow up to The Hand of God – how much of Bible prophecy is really applicable to today or our future?  Tracing Bible prophecy from its beginnings; correlating Bible prophecy with secular history; demonstrating the fulfillment of those prophecies; rebutting the practice of considering the fulfillment of prophecy to be “dual” (occurring more than once) or the practice of assigning “type” and “anti-type” meaning to Bible prophecy; demonstrating how much of Bible prophecy is misinterpreted by contemporary preachers and teachers.  Part I; Part II; Part III; Part IV; Part V; Part VI; Part VII

Ø  God or mammon? – This often misunderstood statement of Jesus explained – it’s not just “money”; it’s much, much more!

Ø  Where Are Our Prophets? – A quick look at Bible prophets and prophecies and a question.

Ø  Who Owns The Middle East – The only path to peace

Ø  Isaiah Essays – Some startling observations by Glenn Davies on the prophecy of Isaiah; taking on those who claim Isaiah didn’t write all of the prophecy attributed to him; collating Isaiah’s prophecy with other prophets and the book of Revelation; and the answer to the question, “Are we living under the New Covenant today?”  The answer will surprise you!

Ø  The “Day of the Lord” – Glenn Davies explains the meaning of the term and shows that there have already been many of those days and there is at least one more to come.

 

Political/Philosophic

Ø  The False Dichotomy – Why logical discourse and discussion seems almost impossible in today’s culture.

Ø  Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes (Latin for "Who Keeps The Keepers Themselves") – What makes you think government bureaucracies are filled with “experts” rather than people who couldn’t find a job doing something more productive?

Ø  Who Owns The Middle East – The only path to peace

Ø  Great Expectations – What we should expect and demand from our national leaders

Ø  Message from God to the President of the United States – September 7, 2010

Ø   The Tea Party movement – a spiritual, social and economic awakening of the American people.  America’s best days are yet ahead!  February 13, 2010

Ø  One Generation – The Tea Party political movement in the USA, because of the large numbers of women participating – can change the political, social and moral climate in America.  February 14, 2010

Ø  Rehoboam Obama – A parallel between the President of the United States and a king of Israel?  You be the judge!  March 29, 2010

Writings of Glenn Davies

 

v  Personal from Glenn Davies

 

v  July 2009 The “Day of the Lord” – Exploring the meaning of the term: When was the last “Day of the Lord”; will there be a “Day of the Lord” in our future?  Part I; Part II

 

v  July 2009 Revelation’s Babylon Identified – Identifying the “Babylon” from the book of Revelation. Where would one look to find this city today?

 

v  August 2009 The Isaiah Essays – Taking on the Bible “scholars” who claim that much of the prophecy of Isaiah was not written by Isaiah but by his followers or disciples or by later Jewish writers entirely unrelated to Isaiah.  The quotation from all sections of Isaiah by the authors of the New Testament and by Jesus puts that claim to rest but there is much more proof that these “scholars” simply don’t know what they’re talking about.  Isaiah was written for his time but also for ours.  Let me show you the amazing parallels between Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Micah, Malachi and many other prophets as well as how the prophecies in Revelation supplement and augment Isaiah’s prophecies.   Also, try answering this startling question: Are we really living under the New Covenant?  My answer will surprise you!  Part I;  Part II; Part III; Part IV; Part V

 

v  Isaiah was a poet.  Hear a bit the poetry of Isaiah translated into a song in English with some of Clay’s poetry attached.
