Both the Old and New Testaments spell out that there is a typological connection between Moses and Jesus. So Moses says –“The LORD thy God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among you, from your brethren; Listen to Him” – Deuteronomy 18:15 Then when Moses makes a New Testament appearance on Read More …
In Revelation, Jesus appears to John calling himself “the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last”, Rev 22:13 (see also 1:8, 2:8b and 21:6). John is reporting in Greek to Greek churches, but Jesus was John’s cousin, his mother Salome was Mary’s sister, he grew up with Jesus speaking Aramaic, so as with Read More …
I though it would be a good idea to spell out why I treat the Gospel records and snippets imbedded in the other New Testament documents as genuine eye witness accounts. For many of my readers this is a non-issue, but for those that have studied the New Testament at all there is a bias Read More …

For instance there is no documentary evidence outside the Gospels for an earthquake in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus death, leading many Read More …
In Luke 11:49, referring backwards to Israels history, Jesus says: “And so the Wisdom of God says: ‘I will send them prophets and apostles…’” It is interesting that we often think of Apostles as just belonging to the New Testament era… but here Jesus is clearly refering to the history recorded in the Old Testament, Read More …
Every now and again as I’ve searched and meditated on Jesus involvement in the Old Testament I come across something baffling, by which I mean I don’t really know what to make of it. There is a clear reference to Jesus in someway but the “why” is not so clear or the reference is so Read More …
