A PRIEST FOREVER – Christ, Hebrews, and the Order of Melchizedek
We hear it said in churches today that our God is the God of the second chance. But the author of Hebrews disagrees – this kingdom is one-and-done. Many means never and once forever. The impossible, making salvation sure, also means no renewal.
Walk with us on a road less traveled, with Hebrews based on five verses mentioned only once in Scripture. We will tackle the themes of shadows, Enoch, Melchizedek, all, and perfection. Our Alpha-Omega is Author and Finisher – Christ is the finish line. Love trumps knowledge in a covenant that is going to last forever. Read more
DAY OF SMALL THINGS – The Minor Prophets of Israel
We think of them as we do those last three apostles we cannot name. But when Pentecost comes, Peter will quote from Joel word-for-word, validating another twelve who are vital to our faith.
Little is much when God is in it, as they speak of locusts, Bethlehem, moths, and a day without king or ark. But small beginnings mean great destiny. That Holy Child on the foal of an ass is assuredly Lord and Christ. Read more
REVELATION REVISITED – The Destruction of Our Times
Who is the Antichrist? No one can know, the experts say. Yet Revelation Revisited – the Destruction of Our Times examines the clues the experts have missed. In this excellent fusion of Old and New Testaments, author Joe Conti shows, in convincing fashion, why the Antichrist is one of six kings, the locusts his anti-saints from hell, Muslims and Catholics must be reconciled, and the mark of the Beast is no barcode. Turkey is the nation to watch. Read more
MYSTERY, THE HIDDEN – The Secrets of Scripture Revealed
Everyone loves a mystery, unless they have been excluded. Bible believers are no exception, as everything about our creed is before the world’s foundation. Faith, fellowship, godliness, and the good pleasure of his will – all proceed from that time before time, in the psalmist’s dark sayings of old.
But there is a downside to the faith that comes wrapped in a parable. The apostles themselves would feel left in the dark, wanting the Lord to speak plainly. And those sayings meant to exclude the proud would ensure Christ’s death on the cross. Read more
TILL THE TIME BE CHANGED – Daniel’s Vision of Nations
He is to the saints what Nostradamus is to the hopeful heathen. The high ones on high and the kings of the earth are his traveling companions. Beloved by God, guided by angels, Daniel has news for the Jews – time, times, and half a time is a testimony of trouble.
Interpreter, dreamer, visionary – Daniel is the master of change, transcending culture and kings. For thousands of years, his word will stand, until an archangel lifts two hands. Read more
THERE WAS A MAN – The Trials and Triumph of Job
Not only is it the oldest in Scripture, but the one book we try to avoid. As we look into Job, it is looking back – we know it could happen to us. An upright man has lost everything because of a challenge above.
“Is God really just?” is the question here, as he uses evil to his advantage, ensuring he gets the glory. But we are not the pawns we think, as God will make clear to Job. Everything formed has been for a purpose, whether mighty, wise, solitary, menacing, or absurd. Read more
WITH ONE ACCORD – The Acts of the Apostles
It is considered more a history book than a blueprint for us today. With megachurches all the rage, its teachings are often ignored. Just as Atlantis has sunk to the depths, so this mythic church is gone, never to return.
But the book of Acts is the word of God and its churches the pattern for us. A church is not mega because of numbers, money, or architecture. In his excellent treatise, With One Accord, author Joe Conti gives the reasons why Pentecost is anti-Babel and one accord must bring salvation or the certain judgment of God. Read more
YOU ARE GODS – The Heaven-Sent Gospel of John
We know him from that Revelation that tends to set him apart. But John has penned another book that is likewise out of this world. His gospel is known for its verily, verily and a seven-fold use of I Am. The Son of Thunder wants us to know that Christ is heaven-sent. Ascent and descent belong to him – on earth, he alone is divine.
He will have some competition below, as the nation given the Word of God resorts to playing God. “I said you are gods,” the psalmist says, and these judges are lifted up. Their pride will cost the Savior his life that men might be born from above. Read more
THE CHARIOT OF ISRAEL – Elijah, Elisha, and the Kingdom of Baal
If ever a man seemed to spring from the page, it must be the prophet Elijah. A spectacular phantom, controlling the clouds, he is master of water and fire. Like Melchizedek, he comes out of nowhere, going out in a blaze of glory. Love him or hate him, he gets our attention. Yet the church of today diminishes him, calling the man of God depressed. They fail to see what Elisha saw, that the whirlwind and chariot testify of his matchless spirit and power.
Join with the author as he tackles the themes of the still, small voice, poverty, and the portal to endless supply. Fertility’s fans must meet their end – the anointing of God will surely prevail, as the champions of the inner chamber defeat the thankless disciples of Baal. Read more
O WHEEL – Ezekiel’s Cherubim and the Chariot of God
When it comes to the Hebrew prophets of old, few can match the obscurity of Ezekiel, the son of Buzi. Largely ignored by New Testament writers, he is thought to have seen a UFO and provided an archaic description.
The rabbis of Israel thought otherwise, convinced that Ezekiel’s merkebah held the secrets of all creation. His cherubim are the essence of life, reflected in all life below. And their 3-to-1 grouping validates the quadri-form gospel accounts. Read more
GODS ASCENDING – The Life and Times of David
He is seen by some as the South saw Lincoln – tycoon, land baron, scoundrel, and beast. His household is one of violence and lust, condoned by an overindulgent father.
But David is the gold standard for kings, the Rolls-Royce of royalty. With a kingdom based on seven I will’s, his name surpasses the kings of the earth. Warrior, minstrel, psalmist, and king, David will prosper in all his endeavors, as God’s gentleness makes him great. Read more
DELEGATES OF HEAVEN – The Mighty Judges of Israel
With gang rape, murder, and civil war, its account is disturbing, even to us. Yet the book of Judges is relevant today, as a nation deep in apostasy waits for a conquering king.
And in Delegates of Heaven, author Joe Conti shows why Gideon’s fleece could not be his sign, Samson’s sin was a one-time stand, breaking a vow is a dangerous thing, and one place to worship was vital to Israel, but one name vital to us. Read more
DREAMERS, SCHEMERS, and FIRST BLASPHEMERS – The Creation Account of Moses
It may be the most famous book on Earth and also the most maligned. No wonder, for Moses saves eight in a barge and drowns half a million alive. He gives men death as the price of fruit. His heroes act like sheep in wolves’ clothing, accustomed to the half-lie.
Yet Moses is to ages past what John is to future events. His Genesis gives us the birth of all – languages, nations, cities, kings, the family, sin, and redemption’s plan. And in Dreamers, Schemers, and First Blasphemers, Joe Conti gives us the reasons why a first-Earth was not lost in cosmic war, Eden was just to the east of Kuwait, some megaliths may predate the flood, and the sons of God were indeed angels, but not the fathers of giants. Read more
TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH – The Glorious Gospel of Isaiah
If your heart is stirred by Handel’s Messiah, this is the book for you. With his reach into heaven and hell beneath, from Creation’s day to the Day of the Lord, Isaiah’s scope is phenomenal, his themes compelling and epic. And faith can conquer conspiracies, when a remnant protects a nation.
Join with us in the power of four, as Isaiah’s salvation destroys the goyim, but Paul’s the works of the Devil. And, wounded, bruised, chastised, and striped, the mighty God-man returns to the earth, to beat all swords into plowshares. Read more
MAKE US A NAME – Denominations and the Clergy-Laity Snare of Rome
Both sides say they have this goal, to recover our original unity. But with 45,000 denominations in a now-exponential rise, the Reformers’ hope of escaping the Pope has not been realized.
Even believers have to admit that something is terribly wrong. A house divided is not of the Lord, while Rome, recognizing its own, calls prodigals back to the fold. Read more
THE MONOS TRUE GOD – An Unbiased Look at the Trinity
It seems a matter of convention today, but it wasn’t always so. Before two councils decided we were entitled to their opinion, the concept of a Trinity was reserved for the sun-god religions.
By 381 A.D., however, the matter was set in stone, despite the fact that pagans had convened and ruled these councils. With the Father, Son, and Spirit now of the same glory and one splendor, dissenters were madmen and heretics – bloodshed was ahead. Read more
CAUGHT UP TOGETHER – Regarding the Rapture of the Church
It is said no man can live without hope, much more so for the church. With Jesus our Alpha and Omega, the doctrine of his coming is as crucial as how we are saved.
This is not the place for agreeable fiction, the stuff of Tim LaHaye, or that other version of left behind, where the saints stay for trumpets and vials. Some balance is needed, if Scripture agrees, and that is the goal of this book. Read more
