About Time
 In Defense of the Faith
April 25, 2018 - Wendy Wippel
A lot of what confuses people in the Bible stems from the failure of our human minds to grasp that what can seem contradictory from our earthbound perspective, really isn’t. Particularly involving time, which is relative on our end and meaningless on God’s. It's also one of the biggest arguments among Christians; God even points this out. http://omegaletter.org/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8631

Who Am I, Really?

April 24, 2018 - Steve Schmutzer
It’s Monday – the start of a new work week. I got out of bed this morning at my usual early time and I made my family coffee and breakfast like I always do. I got myself ready for the day. Per our normal routine, my wife went in one direction to her work and the kids and I went in another. I dropped off one kid at school and the other at work. http://omegaletter.org/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8630

The End is Nigh: Ten Reasons Why
 Prophecy - Signs
April 23, 2018 - Pete Garcia
While it is impossible to know the day or hour of the Rapture of the Church (Mark 13:32), it is however, possible to recognize the season of His return and our subsequent deliverance (1st Thess. 5:1-3, Hebrews 10:25). For those who would assert our ability to even wonder when Christ could return as soft date setting, just remember that Christ chastised the Pharisees’ and Sadducees, as well as the city of Jerusalem, for not recognizing the season of their visitation (Matt. 16:1-4, Luke 19:41-44). http://omegaletter.org/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8629

The Church is Under Siege
 In Defense of the Faith
April 20, 2018 - Alf Cengia
Anyone who keeps track of the news should be somewhat aware that the church is under siege to varying degrees. The components of these attacks on the church vary depending on the global region. They range from mild persecution to outright murder. http://omegaletter.org/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8628

Pain with a Purpose

Here in the USA we seem to share a collective belief that bad things aren’t supposed to happen to good people. I call it the Disney Effect. But bad things do happen to everybody, eventually. And it turns out that’s kind of a good thing. http://omegaletter.org/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8627

When Will Christ Return? (Sooner vs. Later)
 Prophecy - Signs
April 16, 2018 - Pete Garcia
I walked home from work yesterday, which I am not prone to do often. Not because of the distance, but usually I am much too hurried either coming or going to bother with it. However, the weather was just so good I could not resist taking advantage of it. The last portion of my walk is approximately a half-mile, and I decided instead of taking the road, to take the sidewalk path that leads behind the base housing. As I started down it, I noticed an anthill along the side of the path. A thought immediately popped into my head, if I were an ant, I wonder how long it would take me to travel this same distance? http://omegaletter.org/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8625

The 9th of Av

April 12, 2018 - J.L. Robb
The Jewish calendar is different than the modern calendar used by most of the rest of the world. Instead of 2018, the current year on the Jewish calendar is 5778. That date starts with the creation of man 5778 years ago and is based on the biblical ages of early man. http://omegaletter.org/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8623

Noah, Finally Vindicated
 In Defense of the Faith
April 11, 2018 - Wendy Wippel
Science has recently announced, more than 3,000 years since the most ridiculed and “disproven” event in Scripture putatively occurred, that the famous flood that Noah and his sons survived to describe is now, incredibly, being scientifically supported. http://omegaletter.org/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8622

PROPHETIC MALNUTRITION
 In Defense of the Faith

How well will your car perform if you’ve removed one wheel? Would you sit down in a chair with a leg missing? Do you trust a plane with only three of its four wings? http://omegaletter.org/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8621

The Fate of the World (and one small Book)
 Prophecy - Signs
April 09, 2018 - Pete Garcia
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) continues its march toward cinematic history this month with their upcoming 19th project, Infinity War. The movie finally introduces the ultimate baddy (Thanos) from the planet Saturn who seeks to destroy the earth and her heroes. Thanos had been teased from the earliest Avenger’s film in post-credit scenes, and finally serves to unite the divided group once again to prevent the world from total calamity. Another “good vs. evil” film which finds its new nemesis in the person of Thanos. http://omegaletter.org/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8620

Regret the Begets?
 In Defense of the Faith
April 04, 2018 - Wendy Wippel
I recently read an internet article entitled, “The Most Baffling Passages in the Bible, and What They Mean", penned by a women named Esther Inglis Arkell. The first of these “most baffling passages” ended up being -- in her words—the ones having to do with “all those begettings”. There are too many “begettings”, apparently, with not enough explanation. http://omegaletter.org/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8618

The Paradox of a Righteous Lot
 Prophecy - Signs
April 02, 2018 - Pete Garcia
Most of us alive here in America tend to see the world with a western worldview. This worldview works fine for everyday life, but can cause the average western believer consternation when trying to make sense of certain parts of the Scriptures. All Scripture is giving by inspiration of God through the Holy Spirit (2 Tim 3:16), but what we fail to sometimes take into account, was that the men who physically wrote the Bible, were all from the Oriental world. http://omegaletter.org/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8616
