BIBLICAL NATIONS OF ABRAHAM — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List


Posted on October 13, 2024 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #Abraham #Nations

In the Bible, particularly in the Old Testament, when the Scriptures speak about the nations descended from Abraham, it is talking about the Twelve Patriarchs of the Twelve Tribes of Israel and their descendants. In other words, a tribe is a nation in a Biblical sense. Thus, the Twelve Tribes were Twelve Nations which comprised the whole nation of Israel.

We see the very same thing happening with Ishmael, who was Abraham’s son by his Egyptian handmaid, Hagar. Similar to Jacob, Ishmael had twelve sons who were twelve princes, who each ruled over their own nation — or tribe — of people. That is, their descendants.

At the same time, not to be confused, the word “nations” is also used in the Scriptures to signify non-Israelite nations who did not worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They are also referred to as Gentiles, from the Hebrew “goy”, or plural “goyim”.

“And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and THOU SHALT BE A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; FOR A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS HAVE I MADE THEE. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I WILL MAKE NATIONS OF THEE, and KINGS SHALL COME OUT OF THEE . . . And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and SHE SHALL BE A MOTHER OF NATIONS; KINGS OF PEOPLE SHALL BE OF HER.”
Genesis 17:1-6, 15-16, KJV

“And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham SHALL SURELY BECOME A GREAT AND MIGHTY NATION, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?”
Genesis 18:17-18, KJV

“And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; TWELVE PRINCES SHALL HE BEGET, and I WILL MAKE HIM A GREAT NATION . . . Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarahs handmaid, bare unto Abraham: And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; TWELVE PRINCES ACCORDING TO THEIR NATIONS.”
Genesis 17:20, 25:12-16, KJV

“And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. And the LORD said unto her, TWO NATIONS ARE IN THY WOMB, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.”
Genesis 25:21-23, KJV

“And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him. And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; A NATION AND A COMPANY OF NATIONS SHALL BE OF THEE, AND KINGS SHALL COME OUT OF THY LOINS;”
Genesis 35:9-11, KJV

“And when Joseph saw that his father [Jacob/Israel] laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head. And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and HIS SEED SHALL BECOME A MULTITUDE OF NATIONS.”
Genesis 48:17-19, KJV

FREE NATION?

by Bill Kochman

10-13-2024

Welcome to U Sin A lot,
A nation that is so free,
Yes sir you can choose,
Any sex you want to be.

It’s so nice in U Sin A lot,
Folks marry any gender,
Man, woman, anything,
As long as love is tender.

The people in U Sin A lot,
Don’t need to be straight,
Speak against our ways,
It is viewed as only hate.

All schools in U Sin A lot,
Let kids make a choice,
Identifying as they wish,
We give them all a voice.

Now sports in U Sin A lot,
Can be a little confusing,
Oft times you’re not sure,
The sex someone’s using.

Bathrooms in U Sin A lot,
Are all treated with care,
Once again it’s up to you,
In which you fix your hair.

We’re glad in U Sin A lot,
We improved God’s rules,
Not like Christian people,
They’re all unloving fools.

Well join us in U Sin A lot,
If you truly feel the same,
We give love to everyone,
We’ll be happy you came.

SNAKES AND FAKES

by Bill Kochman

10-12-2024

I don’t have time for legalistic snakes,
Forget about brethren who are fakes.
They want to catch me in their snare,
But I’m not stupid, no, I’m quite aware.

Using smooth words, they offer bait,
Trying to trap me in a useless debate.
I see them coming from a mile away,
Yes, I know what they’re going to say.

They start out so slow to set their trap,
But I’m just not interested in their crap.
In the truth they do not have a desire,
They only want to start a doctrinal fire.

I’ll play their game and give them rope,
Yes, playin’ the player, I give ‘em hope.
Thinking they got me where they want,
Those creeps start to attack and taunt.

I’m thick-skinned, I could not care less,
I’ll go silent & leave them in their mess.
It’s just not worth engaging those fools,
They’re not family, they’re Satan’s tools.

To those jerks it’s all simply some game,
Someday their words will be their shame.

PET ADVICE

by Bill Kochman

10-09-2024

If you want to be cuddled, well get yourself a dog,
If you like stuff that jumps, well get yourself a frog.
If you want to be mastered, well get yourself a cat,
If it’s okay to be bitten, well then get yourself a rat.

If you like to talk a while, well get yourself a parrot,
If you decide on a cute rabbit, you’ll need a carrot.
If you choose to get a fish, you’ll need lots of water,
If you like eating clams, well get yourself an otter.

If you like creepy things, well get yourself a snake,
But please don’t get a boa, it could be a big mistake.
If house flies are a million, well get a chameleon,
But consider getting a bat, if the flies are a zillion.

If you drink plenty of milk, well get yourself a cow,
But if mud to you is cool, well get yourself a sow.
If you get yourself a horse, you’ll need lots of hay,
But if you get a hippo, I don’t know what to say.

Do You Embrace the Entire Bible?


Posted on October 9, 2024 by Bill Kochman

#WholeBible #Scriptures #BelieveTheWholeBible

Folks, there are a lot of strange birds out there.

On one hand, you’ve got the Orthodox Jews who only accept the Old Testament as being valid Scripture. Not only that, but they seem to view the opinions and interpretations of their rabbis in the Talmud — Mishnah and Gemara — as being more important than the Scriptures themselves.

Then you’ve also got what I refer to as the Pauline Extremists who seem to erroneously place the words of the Apostle Paul even before the words of Jesus Himself in the four Gospels. They don’t outright reject the four Gospels, but they view the Gospel to the Gentiles as barely beginning in the Book of Acts, and really beginning in Paul’s Epistle to the Romans.

Personally, I view both of those extreme positions as dangerous and a serious imbalance.

For the record, I embrace, read, quote from and teach from the entire Scriptures — from Genesis to Revelation — in many of my articles, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

After all, as they say, “the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed”.

Quite frankly, you can’t have one without the other. As Jesus said, He came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets, so the Old Testament is very important to modern-day Christians.

In fact, as you may know, even the Apostles quoted from the Old Testament, as did Jesus Himself, many times.

The truth of the matter is that the Old and New Testaments fit together like a hand in a glove. You need to know and understand one, in order to understand the other.

Please remember that a false balance is abomination to the Lord — Proverbs 11:1.

REALITY OF SPIRITUAL WARRIORS AND ARMIES — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List


Posted on October 9, 2024 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #SpiritualWarrors #SpiritualWarrior #SpiritualArmies #SpiritualArmy #SpiritualWarfare #SpiritualWar

“The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.”
Exodus 15:3, KJV

“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? And the captain of the LORD’S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.”
Joshua 5:13-15, KJV

“And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.”
2 Kings 6:16-17, KJV

“The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.”
Psalms 34:7, KJV

“Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground. And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb. And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength. For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me. Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me. Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come. But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.”
Daniel 10:5-21, KJV

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.”
Matthew 11:12, KJV

“Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?”
Matthew 26:52-53, KJV

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Ephesians 6:12, KJV

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,”
Revelation 12:7, KJV

“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
Revelation 17:14, KJV

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Revelation 19:11-16, KJV

DOOCY DUKE ‘EM

by Bill Kochman

10-08-2024

Did you hear about that fight,
It was with Fox’s Peter Doocy,
Not given to compromise,
He sure didn’t want no trucey.

That boy just didn’t back down,
With Miss Karine Jean-Pierre,
Doocy just put her in her place,
Showing she was full of hot air.

Asking questions rather tough,
For Karine a difficult situation,
So that gal defaulted by saying,
Doocy that’s just misinformation.

But Doocy kept pushing buttons,
He’s really got such a great skill,
He circles around like a shark,
Before going in for the final kill.

So he popped another question,
Jean-Pierre went into a rage,
She couldn’t give a simple reply,
So she stomped off that stage.

What Exactly is a Storm Surge?


Posted on October 8, 2024 by Bill Kochman

#HurricaneMilton #StormSurge #Asheville

I was inspired to write this short commentary after discovering that some of my friends didn’t quite understand how a town or city which is located many miles from a coastal area, and which is hundreds or even thousands of feet in elevation, could be so seriously affected by a hurricane coming off of the ocean, such as in the case of Asheville, North Carolina, USA for example.

I think this confusion results from not fully understanding exactly what a storm surge is, which is quite understandable if a person has never been through a hurricane, and if they don’t happen to live in a coastal area.

Basically, a storm surge is an abnormal rise in sea level that is caused by the strong winds and low pressure which are associated with a hurricane.

This rise in water level — which can be anywhere from a few feet up to as much as perhaps 30+ feet in the severest of storms — can lead to major coastal flooding, particularly in low-lying areas.

The storm surge is driven by the force of the hurricane’s winds raising and pushing water — like a giant, powerful wall of water — towards the shore, in conjunction with the storm’s low pressure, which allows the water level to rise higher than normal.

But that is not all. The height of that wall of water includes not only the storm surge itself, but the regular tide level as well.

For example, let’s say that at the time a hurricane makes landfall in a particular area, there is a very high tide in progress, or what is known as a spring tide. Even worse is a king tide which is higher than a spring tide.

If the king tide is 2.5 feet in height, and the storm surge is 20 feet in height, that means that when that powerful wave crashes ashore, it will be 22.5 feet in total height. Wow!

My friends, not only is there unimaginable force behind a storm surge, but they move very fast, typically 10-30 miles an hour, depending on the forward speed of the hurricane itself.

A storm surge is one of the most dangerous and deadly aspects of a hurricane, and is often responsible for widespread destruction and loss of life in a coastal area.

Here on Guam, I have witnessed firsthand the results of a powerful storm surge rushing ashore. The level of destruction is absolutely mind-boggling, as if you are in a war zone. Everything is uprooted and just gone down to the bare rock strata! Nothing is left!

Now, to be clear, the destruction that some people are describing at those higher elevations is NOT the result of an oceanic storm surge, because a storm surge can only penetrate inland a few miles at best depending on the topography of the land, the size, strength and speed of the hurricane itself, etc.

The destruction at those higher elevations results from a different set of factors including the following:

1. Wind speed
2. Amount of rainfall
3. Topography of the land
4. Flash floods
5. Rivers, lakes, etc. overflowing their regular boundaries.

For example, even though you live in a town or city that is at a higher elevation and miles away from the ocean, if that town or city is in turn surrounded by even higher hills or mountains — kind of like a bowl — it is going to be in serious trouble!

Now, if that same town or city is also located near a body of water, or even near multiple bodies of water — such as a confluence of rivers — that town or city is going to be in even worse trouble, not just from the excessive wind speed, but from all of that excessive rainfall filling up those lakes and rivers.

But that is not all. You’ve also got flash floods rushing down hills and mountains at tremendous speeds.

Lastly, there are landslides to boot, washed out roads, etc.

My friends, that is exactly what happened at places such as Asheville, N.C. It had nothing to do with the oceanic storm surge many miles away which could not possibly reach those elevations.

I hope this explanation clears things up for some of you.

JUNK PREACHER

by Bill Kochman

10-06-2024

I am tired of seeing all your nonsense,
It just fills up my Facebook news feed,
You claim to be a teacher of the Bible,
Which you appear to hardly ever read.

Because if you honestly really read it,
You wouldn’t say the silly stuff you do,
Your understanding is just so mixed up,
And you do not have the faintest clue.

You condemn those who accept OSAS,
You insist Jesus is surely coming soon,
You talk so much about aliens & UFOs,
And say we never landed on the Moon.

You believe people control hurricanes,
And that planet Earth is in reality flat,
My friend, you really make me wonder,
Where your much confused head is at.

You say they use Blue Beam to trick us,
The false prophet is the pope in Rome,
And we cannot ever go to Outer Space,
Because Earth is underneath a dome.

Now regarding that wicked Antichrist,
You are convinced Obama is the man,
You believe he is increasing his power,
As he carefully carries out his evil plan.

In Hollywood you say they drink blood,
Celebs sacrifice babies to a false god,
Yeah, you have so many weird beliefs,
Friend, I just find you really rather odd.

Instead of sharing so much nonsense,
You should preach God’s Word instead,
But as for all of that other strange stuff,
Will you please get it out of your head?

PROPHECY PUSHERS

by Bill Kochman

10-05-2024

Why do you take what has been fulfilled,
And try to apply it to this present time?
What you are doing is completely wrong,
It amounts to a serious doctrinal crime.

God’s Holy Word is not some kind of toy,
That you can simply twist to your desire,
If you do not stop with your foolishness,
Don’t be surprised if you end up in fire.

So before you attempt to teach the Bible,
You better make sure you’ve got it right,
If you change it to support your doctrine,
The Lord could cast you out of His sight.

Yet despite a warning in the Scriptures,
This is precisely what those Futurists do,
Pushing fulfilled prophecy to the present,
Man, those folks just haven’t got a clue.

They’re so drunk on man-made doctrines,
That have been preached for 200 years,
But when what they think doesn’t happen,
Watch how many will be filled with tears.

No doubt there’ll be great disappointment,
But they’ll only have themselves to blame,
As for the false teachers who taught them,
They’ll be embarrassed and full of shame.

Donald J. Trump’s Official Position Regarding Abortion


Posted on October 5, 2024 by Bill Kochman

#DonaldTrump #Abortion #Trump

For anyone who may not be clear regarding what Donald J. Trump’s position is regarding abortion, following is a screen capture, as posted by Elon Musk on his “X” social network on October 2, 2024 at 12:43 PM. While some Christians may not agree with the exceptions  Trump is allowing, in the political world, room must be allowed for both pragmatism and realism. In other words, if Trump were to not allow for these exceptions, he would not obtain the female support and vote that he needs in order to win. Thus, I am assuming that he has gone for a middle-of-the-road compromise. It is better one small step at a time and win, than one huge step and lose.

BRAINLESS

by Bill Kochman

10-04-2024

Now as you know it is a well established fact,
Artificial things were made by a human hand,
From a kid’s ball, to a nice house or fancy car,
This is something we all perfectly understand.

To believe that such things made themselves,
Would obviously be quite ridiculous it is true,
Yet if we should decide to take this up a notch,
We discover some people are missing a screw.

They have no problem with man-made things,
Yet yell when it comes to things made by God,
Trying to prove that it was a cosmic accident,
Man, I just really find those unbelievers so odd.

Every artificial thing had a designer & creator,
Planets, moons, stars & galaxies are the same,
Saying one had a creator but the other did not,
Would quite frankly be just completely insane.

Yet this is the deception that’s been promoted,
And which is being taught in all public schools,
Denying God’s existence and teaching science,
But the Holy Bible states that they are all fools.

It is sad indeed when they rob God of His glory,
Replacing truth with thoughts from their mind,
Yet one of these days in the Lord’s chosen time,
It will be shown that they’re brainless and blind.

LIES AND EMBELLISHMENTS

by Bill Kochman

10-04-2024

Now, if there is one thing you need to learn,
All politicians embellish, lie and exaggerate.
The truth is that dishonesty is in their blood,
Yes, even before they’ve gotten out the gate,

In their minds, facts are actually fluid things,
Which can be molded to support their view,
Sure, just a little bit of tweaking here & there,
To convince voters that what they say is true.

However, if their fact is not really the full fact,
Then are their words not in actuality a big lie?
Yet many people are willing to just let it slide,
So should we not at least ask ourselves why?

It seems that folks are willing to be deceived,
If doing so demonstrates their loyal support,
They know their candidate isn’t being honest,
And yet they still allow them the truth distort.

So it’s all simply a game of lies and deception,
Where voters support a candidate at any cost,
They’re willing to overlook his embellishments,
That is, just as long as that election is not lost.

DEBATE MODERATORS

by Bill Kochman

10-03-2024

Well look at those debate moderators,
They’re so biased and just full of crap,
They broke rules and fact checked JD,
But they were caught in their own trap.

Whether it was JD or President Trump,
Moderator tactics have been the same,
Maintaining a tight lid on Republicans,
They play such a discriminatory game.

They obviously all lean towards the left,
So Republicans do not get a fair shake,
But when those two ladies took on JD,
Oh boy, they made one terrible mistake!

That boy was not about to just let it go,
And so he put them solidly in their place,
Having no recourse they turned off mics,
Which left those moderators in disgrace.

Post debate banter was indeed so fierce,
As those two hypocrites came under fire,
All the social networks were quite abuzz,
As folks directed to those mods their ire.

So the truth was once again confirmed,
That those TV networks can’t be trusted,
And thusly I will now end my poetic tale,
About how two moderators were busted.

AGAINST THE GRAIN

by Bill Kochman

09-30-2024

While I could just be like everybody else,
And speak and preach the same refrain,
That’s not what God has asked me to do,
No, He called me to go against the grain.

Now I don’t do it just so I can be different,
And it is not that I only want to complain,
But when I examine the Holy Scriptures,
I just understand them in a different vein.

So many folks mirror what they’ve heard,
They don’t study the Bible for themselves,
Merely repeating their church’s traditions,
While the Bible sits dusty on their shelves.

But as for me, I am really just not like them,
I so enjoy digging deeply into God’s Word,
Then after the Holy Spirit has guided me,
I share all those things which I have heard.

But, you see, that is where the rub comes,
I teach stuff that others don’t want to hear,
If it’s contrary to their own church doctrine,
Well then they won’t even give me their ear.

But God did not call me to be a manpleaser,
And political correctness just isn’t my style,
Thus even tho some folks speak against me,
I simply won’t turn down my preaching dial.

By God’s grace I shall continue on this path,
Regardless of naysayers who do not agree,
Tho condemnation may be thrown my way,
I will still be what God has chosen me to be.

FALLING AWAY

by Bill Kochman

09-30-2024

What could cause a great falling away,
I have one idea, please hear what I say.
A great disappointment could be sure,
If you don’t see what you are hoping for.

For many Christians it is Christ’s return,
It is the big event for which many yearn.
But what if the doctrine just isn’t sound,
And the Lord just never comes around?

Even tho some waited for many years,
In the end they’ll all be filled with tears.
Why it failed to happen nobody knows,
But years pass & disappointment grows.

So with disappointment faith can be lost,
As folks will no longer follow at any cost.
Thus we see our faith taking a major hit,
As many Christians say it is time to quit.

A great falling away, can you see it now?
Do you understand the why & the how?
The tragedy is that what I stated is true,
So many Christians don’t have any clue.

They place their faith in what will not be,
Their eyes are closed & they cannot see.
Deceived by false doctrine they are blind,
For futurism has fully clouded their mind.

Although the Bible makes the truth plain,
They believe a huge lie though it is in vain.
Believing men’s doctrines is quite absurd,
Shouldn’t we just take God at His word?

CAMPAIGN BLITZ

by Bill Kochman

09-29-2024

Get ready for a one-month blitz,
It’s a game where nobody quits.
Yes, on the left and on the right,
Just one bloody campaign fight.

Pull out the big guns & cast dirt,
So your opponent you can hurt.
Fill your ads with some huge lies,
So the other guy voters despise.

Smear ’em good, give no chance,
People won’t give them a glance.
Spend lots of money to be heard,
Even if your claims are so absurd.

Bury him deep so he won’t survive,
You are left standing alone & alive.
Indeed, campaign season is here,
When they want to tickle your ear.

All year long they don’t care at all,
How it changes when arrives Fall.
Suddenly your problems they see,
Such hypocrites, don’t you agree?

All they desire is to get your vote,
About what they did they all gloat.
Making promises they won’t keep,
But are you really still so asleep?

MATRIX GAME

by Bill Kochman

09-29-2024

So many things in this world,
Will sometimes catch our eye,
While we think they are true,
They are actually just some lie.

Regardless of where we look,
It is simply always the same,
Another truth is proven false,
We’re caught in a matrix game.

While everyone lives their life,
Trying to always do what’s right,
There exist some powerful men,
Who strive to stay out of sight.

They scheme behind high walls,
Working towards their one goal,
We are just pawns on the board,
They intend to control our soul.

Manipulating financial markets,
On the world they have a grip,
Each piece is moved with care,
Rarely do they ever make a slip.

Like some well-greased machine,
The global balance is maintained,
Moving money from here to there,
So each crisis can be contained.

It is indeed a precarious process,
But those manipulators are adept,
They’ll only pressure us all so far,
So their control we will all accept.

But there is one wonderful world,
Where their power doesn’t reach,
It is the amazing Heavenly realm,
And the one that I always preach.

Unlike so many lies in this world,
Of this place we can all be sure,
If you wish to enter God’s holy city,
To Jesus open your heart’s door.

BROKEN CLOCK

by Bill Kochman

09-29-2024

Do you hear it? Tick-tock, tick-tock,
It is the sound of a prophetic clock.
Some say Christ’s time draws near,
But I don’t give those people an ear.

They don’t see their clock is broken,
Believing stuff God has not spoken.
So deceived by what Futurists claim,
Not knowing they’ve missed the aim.

Quite convinced it’s the end of years,
But someday soon they’ll shed tears.
Once they understand their mistake,
That their belief was just all so fake.

For decades it has been very strong,
As it has pulled many people along.
Giving them false hope for His return,
To this very day they in fact still yearn.

The real truth for them is hard to bear,
Tho I try to tell them they do not care.
They prefer instead to embrace the lie,
But the day comes when they will cry.

Why did they believe what they heard,
Instead of searching God’s holy Word?
The prophecies already came to term,
Of this belief I still remain rather firm.

It is my hope that you also will believe,
And this truth you’ll be able to receive.
Just cast off that Futurists’ deception,
Ask God for true Scriptural perception.

He will open your eyes, of this I’m sure,
Tell me now, what are you waiting for?

CONSPIRACY THEORISTS

by Bill Kochman

09-27-2024

You’ve gotta give it to conspiracy theorists,
Oh boy, those folks really know how to talk,
If you just naively take them at their word,
There’s a monster hiding behind every rock.

Government agents in cahoots with aliens,
Project blue beam, HAARP, & much more,
Once they get going, you better watch out,
Oh man, just run quick straight for the door.

But the big tragedy is when Christian folks,
Likewise decide to get in on that same act,
Spouting off loads of nonsensical rubbish,
And yet never quoting a single Biblical fact.

God called you to be a witness of His Word,
Yet you propagate silly deceptions instead,
Look, I really do not mean to offend anyone,
But actually, you let Satan get in your head.

Now if your goal is to be a light in the world,
Then you need to give people Gospel truth,
Please forget about all that conspiracy junk,
What they require is genuine Biblical proof.

For it’s indeed the Salvation message alone,
That will bring all the lost sheep to the light,
And so one day when you stand before God,
He will lovingly tell you that you did it right.
