Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) is the last of seven Feasts that God instructed the Jews to celebrate annually during the Old Testament era. It is taking place this year (October 6-13, 2025). There are five main levels of interpretation to all the Feasts: historical, practical, symbolical, spiritual, and prophetical. As we visit every level, we will discover the genius of the Everlasting Father who often hides His mysteries in this intriguing, symbolic way. Comparative religion website: www.t...

Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) is the holiest day of the year for a devoted Jewish person. Israelites throughout the world just participated in its call to repentance (from nightfall on Wednesday, October 1, to sundown on Thursday, October 2, 2025). How was it celebrated in ancient times and what is the deep symbolism concerning the Messiah that the traditional practices convey? How does it lead up to the next Feast of the Lord in the Jewish calendar (Sukkot / The Feast of Tabernacles)? This ...

Are all human beings children of God? The politically-correct answer would be an unequivocal, “Yes, all people of all religions are worshiping the same God, and they are all His children!” But is that true? Or are there certain criteria that must be fulfilled to “become” a child of God? The answer to this challenging question is complex and there are layers of revelation. Get ready for the mystery to be unveiled. You have probably never heard it explained this way. Comparative religion website:...

In 1274 A.D., Purgatory was officially declared a doctrine of the Catholic Church. This netherworld location has been described as a place of flames, punishment, intolerable pain, and purification, before those subjected to it graduate to the bliss of heaven. Purgatory cannot be proven by the Bible. Along with indulgences, it is one of the primary beliefs that led to the great Protestant Reformation.

Can We Communicate with Angels? Should human beings seek angelic encounters, initiating conversations with these celestial beings? Surprisingly, some Christian teachers insist that communicating with angels using this method is a legitimate approach. New Agers celebrate this practice, even encouraging the use of Angel Cards. Is this a wonderful opportunity or a dangerous deception? You decide! Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Cath...

Can human beings direct angels to do their bidding? Some Bible teachers say that Christians can and should. Angels are ministering spirits sent forth to minister to and for the heirs of salvation, so shouldn’t we exert some kind of authority over them? Is believing in this doctrine an open door leading to a higher level of supernatural living or is it a Pandora’s box that could result in chaos and demonic deception?

The term “New Age” is drawn from Astrology, based on the false, cosmological idea that the sun passes through twelve houses in its journey around the earth. Those who subscribe to this concept believe we are on the cusp of “The Age of Aquarius,” supposedly a “new age” of enlightenment and peace on planet Earth. Is this the same as the biblical concept of a coming Kingdom Age when the Messiah (Jesus) will reign over a restored paradise world? Find out! Comparative religion website: www.thetrueli...

The New Age Movement is a term that covers a lot of territory spiritually. It can reach all the way to the left, embracing dark belief systems like Wicca, paganism, and Satanism. It can also reach all the way to the right, embracing things like success seminars and positive thinking programs that don’t even promote a concept of God, yet incorporate certain New Age principles. This movement is one of three primary global influences preparing the world for the Antichrist, so you need to understand...

Is it wrong to judge others? Jesus said, “Judge not that you be not judged” (Mt. 7:1).

Over 100 curses were pronounced on Protestants almost five hundred years ago! Leaders in the Catholic Church did that during the Council of Trent, concerning those who broke away during the Reformation, rejecting certain traditional beliefs of Catholicism. The Bible word is “anathema” meaning cursed. Are these “curses” active? Are they relevant and true, or has there been a softening of the Catholic stance?

Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of various celestial bodies (like the sun, moon, planets and stars) which are believed to have an influence on human affairs, our personal lives, and the world as a whole. How should believers in the Bible respond to these assertions? Is there any truth or is it blatantly false?

Universal reconciliation is the concept that everything will ultimately be reconciled to God. The Scripture declares “the mystery” of God’s will is to finally “gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth”? (Eph. 1:9-10) Does that mean literally everything, including all sinners, even Satan himself and all his fallen angels, will finally be restored to a right relationship with God? This is a challenging and controversial subject that needs to be e...

Do we cease to exist when we die? Or does the soul live on? Is there only one life or thousands of incarnations by which the soul evolves to perfection? When human beings die, does the soul sleep in the grave with the body or does it ascend to a paradise world? These are questions that beg to be answered. Various religions promote a plethora of opinions, but what did Jesus teach? Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project w...

Did you know there are more Sabbaths mentioned in the Bible than just the seventh day of the week? Did you know all Sabbaths are described as a “shadow of good things to come” (Hebrews 10:1).

Is Saturday or Sunday the proper day of the week for Christians to gather in worship? The controversy has swirled around this issue from the early days of the Church. What is the correct Sabbath? Was this ancient tradition corrupted and even paganized at a certain point in church history? Is it necessary to make a choice between these two options, or is there a third explanation that is profoundly deep and life-changing? You decide after hearing all three views.

Most people relate to the word “avatar” as the name of a 2009 blockbuster movie set in a fictional world called Pandora. People also create “avatars” as representative images in video games, on Facebook, or other online activities. However, unknown to many, the word “avatar” is actually a profound ancient term drawn from Hinduism and enshrined in the heart of New Age Spirituality. Learn the truth. You may be surprised!

The Feast of Pentecost is the fourth of the seven “Feasts of the Lord” mentioned in the Bible. Every one of the feasts is both historical and prophetical. Each one commemorated something powerful God did for Israel in the past, under the Old Covenant, while revealing something powerful He would yet do for the Church in the New Covenant. You will see the genius of God on display by connecting the dots between these two phases of His plan. Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Mini...

The biblical account of creation states that God breathed into Adam the “breath of life” and he became a “living soul.” What exactly is the “breath of life”? Is it the same as natural breath and is it still within every human being? Does it include the presence and essence of God? Many questions need to be answered.

The Tree of Life—what amazing insights are revealed through this unique biblical image! Intriguingly, similar symbols (though erroneous) are also found in Buddhism, Islam, and mystical Judaism (Kabbala). However, when we embrace the ten times this renowned tree is mentioned in the Bible, stretching from Genesis to Revelation, the door of a profound revelation opens that will usher us into some of the deepest secrets of the kingdom of God.

“The Book of Life” is a concept only found in Judaism and Christianity. David claimed that God keeps a record of every tear we shed in His “book” (Psalms 56:8). Is this just a symbolic, earthly way of illustrating a mysterious heavenly concept? Or is “The Book of Life” a literal, celestial registry listing all those considered righteous in the sight of God?
