Joseph Herrin (12-31-2011) I have concluded that my vision is much better in hindsight than it is at gazing into the future. There is an interesting fact relating to how the ancient Hebrews understood the concept of time. To the Hebrews the future was depicted as behind a person’s back, while the...

Joseph Herrin (12-30-2011) II Kings 9:30 When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it, and she painted her eyes and adorned her head and looked out the window. I want to share somewhat further regarding yesterday’s post where I spoke of facing much resistance and oppression while trying to...

The Honored Servant The role of the woman in bringing forth One who would save mankind was foretold by God immediately after man fell into sin. When Yahweh pronounced the curse upon the serpent, He said: Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her...

Created for a Purpose I Corinthians 11:8- Man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; for indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake. One of the great questions asked by mankind throughout the ages has been “Why am I here?” There is great value in...

Woman, the Glory of Man Joseph Herrin (12-22-2011) I Corinthians 11:7 A man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.The apostle Paul declares a profound truth in the words above. All of his teaching, and that of the other...

Art, a brother in Christ who has the Newine blog, posted a comment on the article I had listed on Comet Lovejoy. If you missed that article, you can find it here: Comet Lovejoy When I went to Art's blog site to read what he had posted I found two pictures of the comet as it was approaching the...

Joseph Herrin (12-18-2011) As a follow-up to the previous post on Comet Lovejoy’s amazing survival of its baptism of fire, I would share a comment posted by Joe Boes. Joe wrote the following: Dear Brother Joseph,I'd like to add something to this truly amazing event and the parable behind it. The...

Comet LoveJoy Survives Joseph Herrin (12-16-2011) Suicide Comet (Lovejoy pictured against the backdrop of the Sun) An amazing sign in the heavens was observed early this morning. A comet discovered as recently as December 2nd, was observed by NASA’s SOHO satellite observatory passing within...

I have continued to stay busy formatting books for the Amazon Kindle. There are now five books available in Kindle format on Amazon's website. Four books are also available as paperback, so please note which you are ordering if you use Amazon to purchase the books. It is pretty easy to tell which...

Amazon Kindle Touch The times, they are a changing. Amazon is the world's largest book seller, and they now sell more e-books than traditional print (paperback and hardback combined.) About two weeks ago I purchased an Amazon Kindle Touch e-book reader. My immediate reason in doing so was that I...

Some Who Held This View Due to the doctrine of the reconciliation of all things rarely being taught in the churches today, many Christians have mistakenly assumed that it must be a new teaching. Some have even asked me if I am the only one who believes and teaches these things. I am very happy to...

Joseph Herrin (11-24-2011) It is my hope that the revision of this book will prove effectual in leading those who seek truth to the discovery of Yahweh’s magnificent plan of the ages. It is not possible in any writing to answer every question that could be raised. To write an exhaustive teaching...

Joseph Herrin (11-23-2011) Yahweh established a plan for the creation that encompasses a determined number of ages. This truth is taught in the Bible, but given little attention by Christians today. The church has very little understanding of the ages of the earth. Our world has known many...

Joseph Herrin (11-22-2011) Note: in this chapter I am using the word “aionian” as a transliteration of the Greek word that is often interpreted as “eternal” in the most popular English Bibles. Rather than translating the word as “age-abiding,” “age-lasting,” or “age-during” as some literal...

Joseph Herrin (11-21-2011) There is a curious expression used by Christ that has led many Christians to conclude that Yahshua taught that hell will be forever. In the Gospel of Mark we find Yahshua repeating the words, “Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.” Mark 9:43-48 And if...

Joseph Herrin (11-19-2011) Revelation 11:15 And the seventh messenger did sound, and there came great voices in the heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of the world did become [those] of our Lord and of His Christ, and he shall reign to the ages of the ages!' YLT It has already been shown that Christ’s...

Joseph Herrin (11-17-2011) In the preceding chapters of this book I have labored to show forth through the Scriptures Yahweh’s plan to reconcile all things in the creation to Himself through Christ. The rule of Christ must continue UNTIL He has accomplished a full and perfect reconciliation of the...

Joseph Herrin (11-16-2011) Before Yahweh ever began to form the creation, He had fully worked out the plan of the ages from the beginning to the end. Everything that exists, or will exist; every event that has occurred, and is yet to transpire, was planned before the creation began. Isaiah 14:24...

Joseph Herrin (11-15-2011) As we continue to lay the foundations for understanding God’s plan of the ages, the topic of sonship needs to be examined. Yahweh created man because He desired to have sons. One of the most common titles used to refer to God in the Bible is Father. In approximately 270...

Joseph Herrin (11-11-2011) Death stands between every man and an inheritance in Christ, even as the Jordan River stood between the Israelites and their inheritance in the land of Canaan. We know that every man experiences a physical death of his body. It is not this death that makes a person a...

 Dear Readers, This post contains a first for the Parables Blog. I have a recipe to share with you. Joseph, the son of Jacob, dispensed grain go the world. I will just tell you how to cook it. For some time the Father has been leading me to adopt a healthier diet. I rarely eat meat anymore....

Note: I was not satisfied with the last chapter posted, and have ended up revising the revision. I felt that the chapter in its early parts strayed from the subject it was intended to address. There is so much that I want to communicate in this book that I struggle at times to know how to properly...

Joseph Herrin (11-06-2011) A person cannot properly understand Yahweh’s plan of the ages without a clear understanding of the pattern of death, burial and resurrection. The judgments of God, whether it be the death of sinners in past ages, the cross in this age, or the lake of fire which is the...

Joseph Herrin (11-01-2011) Most Christians have a very fuzzy understanding of the resurrections of man. Many believers imagine that there will be only one resurrection of the dead. The types and shadows of the Old Testament that Yahweh ordained to show forth truth pertaining to the resurrections...

Joseph Herrin (10-30-2011) I appreciate the patience of those who are giving attention to this book. I realize that there are many questions in the minds of the saints, and many Scriptures they would like to have explained that appear to contradict those truths being shared. I have chosen to...

Joseph Herrin (10-29-2011) Yahweh’s plan of the ages is truly marvelous. To come into the understanding that God will not conclude His work among mankind, the angels, and all creation until He has fully and perfectly reconciled all things back to Himself through His Son opens the door to profound...
