Thank you for this. It took me several days to slowly read and digest. It gives me a whole new perspective that no one has ever explained before. I would be grateful for more content like this if you are so led. God bless you.
I am going to do that, but will add it to the end of this post and let people know via notes. Unfortunately, doing this cost me many subscribers. I do, however, enjoy doing it and have much of the content already written from years ago.
I don’t understand why someone would not just skip the “religious” article if they were not interested. It is a shame to leave because of a difference of opinion. But alas, that is where we are these days. I will continue to read your work and look forward to the additions.
Thank you for this incredible study! I feel so enlightened. It answers so many questions Ive had for years & felt unable or embarrassed to ask. This has changed my perspective. Please make this a regular feature. I will print this for future reference.
Thank you for publishing this study. It has opened my eyes and answered some questions I had about the millenium and Revalation 20. I will reread this and keep it for future reference. I appreciate your efforts!
Thanks, Mary Ann. I loved the project but will admit it was as big as anything I have ever published. Lots of time. I'll have to see how it turns out -- how many people actually pay attention.

With the lawyers it is a new thing. They have, in the mother country, been generally the primest supporters of the free principles of their constitution. But there, too, they have changed."
Just letting those interested know that I did a Part II to this piece. You can find it by scrolling or searching in this post...
"The Enthronement of the Son of Man — Every New Testament Reference, in Order. Several Diagrams at the End."
Thanks.

Glad you enjoyed it, Shelly!
Well done!
You just summerized years of my study into one easily understandable short story. I love t!
Wow! Love this article. Grabbed my Bible and started making notes. Thank you! Looking forward to parts II and III.
Russ this is great! Really in depth and explained so clearly. You have a gift to write!
Thanks, Luke. Coming from you, that really means something.

Thank you very much! Incredibly well documented and shared. I will save it for reference and certainly need to re-read it a few times.
You're welcome, Eva.
I hope you write on subjects like this again! [And P.S. I'm a regular listener of Howerton's. ]

Thomas Jefferson
Letter to Horatio G. Spafford (17 March 1814).
Jefferson was an interesting guy. Currently watching the 6-part Netflix documentary.
I didn't know there was a Netflix documentary!!! Will start watching tonight.
Interesting ideas on Jesus. Just ordered the Jefferson bible. How religion is manipulated by the Trotskyites.
