In this Prophecy Update today, I want to bring several points together that I’ve been stressing lately by adding in the Calvinism component, and enlarge that with a couple more ideas thrown into the mix. No doubt, what I say will step on a few toes since the topic is a touchy one.
Biblical Audio Commentary – Tree of Life & Eternal Security
What did the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden offer? I would argue that it provided eternal security.

Biblical Audio Commentary – Abram & Rephaim Logistics
The account in Genesis 14 of the ancient war between four kings and five kings has some fascinating aspects to it that I just saw myself and thought you might find the logistics of that conflict equally intriguing.
