Most of those quotations are applied in some way to Jesus, but it cannot be called predictive in the normal understanding of the word. It is not future oriented. It deals with realities present at the time of writing. The

In a previous article for The Gospel Herald (“The Unique Value of Humans in the Age of AI“), we explored the unique value of humans in an increasingly AI-dominated world.

Hanani came to visit Nehemiah in the month Chislev and told him of the sorry condition of the people of Judah and the destruction of the
When we think about worship, many of us picture the familiar elements of our Sunday gatherings: singing hymns, reading Scripture, praying and hearing a sermon. These practices are rich and meaningful, and they help form the rhythm of our spiritual lives. But they are meant to express something even deeper.
