I am an apologist for Jesus alone as the source of truth. Jesus is THE way, THE truth, and THE life (John 14:6). I study Scripture without man-made bias and in the context of the first-century believer, who had no New Testament. I study prophecy in the light of history, with more prophecy fulfilled than unfulfilled. jesuspluszero.substack.com

    Beyond Flesh and Blood

    Join Geoff Stroud as he explores how the New Testament writers—such as Paul, Peter, Jude, John, and James—understood the unseen realm, divine council theology, and the cosmic spiritual war based on their Second Temple Jewish context and the Holy Spirit. Key Topics Covered: * The Divine Council (Genesis 1:26 & Psalm 82): Why “Let Us make man in Our image” refers to Yahweh and His heavenly assembly of created spiritual beings rather than standard Trinitarian interpretations. * The Three Great Rebellions of Genesis: * The Fall of Man (Genesis 3): Temptation, human autonomy, and the entry of death. * The Corruption of the Watchers (Genesis 6 & Book of Enoch): Heavenly beings leaving their proper domain to mate with human women, producing the Nephilim, as highlighted by Peter and Jude. * The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11 & Deuteronomy 32:8-9): Corporate human rebellion leading to God disinheriting the nations and assigning lesser divine beings to watch over them. * The Domain of Satan: Clearing up misconceptions about Satan’s fall, examining Revelation 12, and understanding the ongoing territorial warfare against dark principalities and powers. * Resurrection Hope & New Jerusalem: Clarifying that the ultimate hope of the believer is not disembodied floating in heaven, but physical resurrection, the redemption of our bodies, and the restoration of Earth when New Jerusalem descends (Revelation 21–22). * End-Time Prophecy: A look at Revelation 13, the second beast, and keeping spiritual discernment open in the days preceding Christ’s return.

    Genesis 9: The Rainbow and the Tent

    Genesis chapter 9 concludes with a simple, quiet epitaph. Genesis 9:28-29 LSB  And Noah lived 350 years after the flood.  (29)  So all the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died. The great hero of the flood passes away, leaving us standing in a strange, profound tension. On one hand, we are meant to look up at the sky and see the qeshet, the rainbow. It stands as the grand, unshakeable monument of God's Chesed. It is the visible guarantee of His loving loyalty to a broken creation, a promise that His grace will always hold the universe together. On the other hand, we are meant to look down at the dirt. We are forced to acknowledge the brokenness of human families, the generational fractures caused by our own sins, and the heavy gravity of our flaws. The flood did not fix the human heart; it only bought us time. But that is exactly why the two halves of Genesis 9 must be read together. God did not hang His bow in the sky because He believed humanity was now perfect. He hung it there precisely because He knew we weren't. His Chesed is the ultimate safety net, ensuring that human failure will never have the final, destructive word. The world has been physically cleansed by water, but as we close the tent flaps on Genesis 9, we realise it is groaning for a deeper spiritual cleansing. A cleansing that only the ultimate Descendant of Shem can finally bring. Repent and believe the Gospel of Jesus. It is our only hope!
