1st Samuel 5-6 — Philistia figures out God wants the ark returned to Israel
Saturday, November 15th, 2008Israel sadly lost the Ark of God’s Testimony in battle with Philistia by treating it as a talisman of victory rather then depending on God Himself. In this passage, Philistia learned unpleasantly that the God of Israel superseded their god Dagon.

Saturday, November 1st, 2008Many have thought the "mark of Cain" is dark skin or some other physical trait. Actually, it was a mark of mercy. That mercy claimed the life of Messiah Yeshua.
