Over the years I remember hearing people make reference to “The Scarlet Thread” or “The Crimson Cord” and I picked up that the image was used as a motif for a string of images through the Old Testament that included blood and in some way pre-figured the Cross. The image was drawn from the incident Read More …
In January 2016 we are planning to start a Jesus-Centred Online Bible Study, (J-COBS for short). But we need you help so we can learn from the pilot.

This is the fourth installment in the post series on the prophecies hidden in the names of Jesus’ ancestors.
