Friday The 13th Pt. 1: The Threat

At the very least once every year, we’re all struck with the fear of the ominous day of Friday the 13th, which is today. Throughout movies and TV shows, we’re reminded to be extra careful on this day because of the bad luck and dangerous omens that it brings, but why are we so freaked out and unsettled by this day? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he searches through Scripture for Biblical answers in his video, Friday The 13th Pt. 1: The Threat.

Friday The 13th

The Threat

At the very least once a year, an ominous and perceived menace of a date pops its threatening, sinister head up on our Gregorian calendar. It’s none other than Friday the 13^th.

Where and when did this day turn so spooky and threatening?

If you search Friday the 13^th, the majority of results will claim it all started with the arrest and eradication of the Knights Templars on Friday the 13^th of October 1307.

A few instances of bad things that happened on This Day:

October, Friday 13, 1307: King Philip IV of France arrested hundreds of Knights Templar and later had them executed
September, Friday 13, 1940: Germans bombed Buckingham Palace
March, Friday 13, 1964: Kitty Genovese was murdered in Queens, New York
October, Friday 13, 1972: A Chilean Air Force Plane disappeared in the Andes
September, Friday 13, 1996: Tupac Shakur was shot and killed in Las Vegas, Nevada
January, Friday 13, 2012: The Costa Concordia cruise ship crashed off the coast of Italy

Does The Bible Support The Ice Age?

The Ice Age has been taught in our schools and turned into loveable kid’s movies and shows. According to Scientists, the Ice Age took place a billion years ago. This now begs the question, does the Bible talk about an Ice Age? Is there evidence in Scripture for what Scientists are teaching us and our children? Or is this a time when Science and the Bible do not agree? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture to find the answers in her video, Does The Bible Support The Ice Age?

What Happened To The Tower of Babel?

The Tower of Babel is one of those Bible stories most Christians know by heart. The Bible states that the Tower of Babel had the potential to have its top reach into Heaven. God then came down to stop man from completing their goals with this tower. If this city and tower were real, what happened to them?

What Happened To The Tower of Babel?

The Tower of Babel

¹ Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. ²And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. ³And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. ⁴Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” ⁵And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. ⁶And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. ⁷Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” ⁸So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. ⁹Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.

Teleportation Devices In The Bible

Teleportation Devices in the Bible

¹ Now when the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. ²And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the Lord has sent me as far as Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. ³And the sons of the prophets who were in Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that today the Lord will take away your master from over you?” And he said, “Yes, I know it; keep quiet.”

⁴Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please stay here, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho. ⁵The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that today the Lord will take away your master from over you?” And he answered, “Yes, I know it; keep quiet.”

⁶Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on. ⁷Fifty men of the sons of the prophets also went and stood at some distance from them, as they both were standing by the Jordan. ⁸Then Elijah took his cloak and rolled it up and struck the water, and the water was parted to the one side and to the other, till the two of them could go over on dry ground.

⁹When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please let there be a double portion of your spirit on me.” ¹⁰And he said, “You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken from you, it shall be so for you, but if you do not see me, it shall not be so.” ¹¹And as they still went on and talked, behold, chariots of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. ¹²And Elisha saw it and he cried, “My father, my father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw him no more.

The Nephilim Pt. 2: The Book of Enoch

The Nephilim is one of the most debated topics in the Church as well as outside the Church in the secular world. This topic is often accompanied by the Book of Enoch. More times than not, the Book of Enoch is used to explain the origin of the Nephilim, but is the Book of Enoch trustworthy? Does the Book of Enoch contradict the Bible, or was the Book of Enoch taken out of the Bible? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he searches through Scripture to find answers to these questions and more in his video, The Nephilim Pt. 2: The Book of Enoch.

The Nephilim

The Biblical Account of the Nephilim

¹ When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, ²the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. ³Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” ⁴The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

Genesis 6:1-4

The Biblical account of the Nephilim is a much different picture than that of the pseudepigraphical Book of Enoch. The Biblical account of the Nephilim is that of fear and terror, whereas the Book of Enoch describes them as great, mighty men, men of renown.

³⁰But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.” ³¹Then the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are.” ³²So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height. ³³And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”

Was Jesus Really Born December 25th?

Every year on December 25^th, Christians get together and celebrate the birth of Christ. We sing songs about His birth and read the majestic account of His sinless birth.

Was Jesus Really Born December 25th?

The age-old question is, was Jesus really born on December 25th? We believe you can find the answer to this question in the Bible, specifically when you put all the stories together—starting with the account of the Conception of John and ending with the Conception of Jesus.

The Account of the Conception of Jesus in the Bible

²⁶In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, ²⁷to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. ²⁸And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” ²⁹But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. ³⁰And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. ³¹And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus. ³²He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to Him the throne of His father David, ³³and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
³⁴And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
³⁵And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called Holy—the Son of God. ³⁶And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. ³⁷For nothing will be impossible with God.” ³⁸And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your Lord.” And the angel departed from her.

Luke 1:26-38

The Account of Jesus’ Birth in the Bible

¹ In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. ²This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. ³And all went to be registered, each to his own town. ⁴And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, ⁵to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. ⁶And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. ⁷And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

Is Krampus Real?

During the Christmas season, we’re used to stories of Santa Claus and his reindeer soaring through the sky on his sleigh to bring presents made by him and his elves for all the good children. Santa has become a staple in our society today, but in the more recent years, a new darker Christmas character has taken the spotlight.

Biblical Evidence

⁷ So they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to goat demons [śā·ʿîr], after whom they whore. This shall be a statute forever for them throughout their generations.

Leviticus 17:7

¹⁴For the Levites left their common lands and their holdings and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons cast them out from serving as priests of the Lord, ¹⁵and he appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat idols [śā·ʿîr] and for the calves that he had made.

Is Shapeshifting In The Bible?

Throughout history, we have had several stories of humans shapeshifting into animals. Many different cultures and religions have legends of humans having spirit-animals that give them a form of supernatural capabilities that can present in a physical manifestation.

Shapeshifting

¹³For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. ¹⁴And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. ¹⁵So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

These three verses are talking about spiritual transformation, not a physical transformation.

²⁰But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹who will transform our lowly body to be like His glorious body, by the power that enables Him even to subject all things to Himself.

Philippians 3:20-21

⁵Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. ⁶And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, He has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day—

Jude 1:5-6

Both of these instances are about a physical transformation (shapeshifting) in the Bible.

Does The Bible Support Pangea?

Every Christian knows the Biblical Creation Story of Genesis 1. Each day is written out for us so that there is no confusion about where humans came from. Yet, scientists constantly contradict the Biblical Creation Story with little to no evidence of their own theories and truths. A scientific theory is that all the land on earth was once a supercontinent they have called Pangea. But is that true? Is Pangea Biblical?

The Creation Story of the Earth and Land

¹ In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. ²The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. ³And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. ⁴And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. ⁵God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

Genesis 1:1-5

⁹And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. ¹⁰God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together He called Seas. And God saw that it was good. ¹¹And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. ¹²The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ¹³And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

Genesis 1:9-13

There’s no direct indication that Pangea is Biblical or real in the creation of the earth or the land.

Is The Grim Reaper Real?

Everyone has heard of the Grim Reaper. He’s literally the personification of Death from many mythologies that is said to come to collect his victim’s soul. While we’ve all heard of the Grim Reaper, we’ve also all wondered if the Grim Reaper was really real at one time or another.

Who is the Grim Reaper?

The Personification of Death

The Grim Reaper is Death personified. He comes to collect the souls of his victims and takes them to the afterlife. We see that there are a few instances of the personification of Death, as well as the punishment of this seemingly evil spirit.

⁸And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

Revelation 6:8

¹²And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. ¹³And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. ¹⁴Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second Death, the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:12-14

The Spirit of Life

Not only is there a spirit of Death, but there is also a spirit of life.

² For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and Death.
