The Passion of Jesus Christ
Habakkuk is not very well known among modern bible students. As a Prophet of God, some would argue that he contributed very little to the whole counsel of God provided in Scripture.

The Passion of Jesus Christ
Amazingly, the ministry of the Mediator would become even more visible once the Tabernacle was in operation. Do you remember the “face to face” communion that Moses experienced in the makeshift Tabernacle of Exodus 33:11? This was a sign of good things to come when a legally sanctioned and
The Passion of Jesus Christ

National governments using capital punishment when necessary is nothing out of the ordinary. There is a long history of people being nailed to wood in a variety of ways. However, the Cross of Rome was unique. Death by crucifixion was perfected by the Roman Empire. A medical analysis of the

“And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.” – Luke 23:44-45 Physically speaking, was this a solar eclipse? No. Naturally occurring solar
The Passion of Jesus Christ
Publicly stripping people naked, even for the purpose of torture and execution, is an open display of contempt being projected upon those who are condemned to die. The personal sense of loss can become overwhelming when the very last thing in your possession is taken from you, even your very
