Judas Iscariot, Son of Simon OR Judas, Son of Simon Iscariot in John 6:71, 13:2/26?
This post is a follow-up to my post Flint aka Rocky and the Rock: Peter and Yeshua (https://thedragonisslain.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=2662&action=edit ), in which I found it necessary to deal with the person of Judas Iscariot as one of the Twelve and as the counterbalance to Peter aka Rocky. Both had been accused by Yeshua, either of being…

The Overseer in the Apostle Paul’s Epistle of 1 Timothy 3:1
Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος · εἴ τις ἐπισκοπῆς ὀρέγεται, καλοῦ ἔργου ἐπιθυμεῖ. This saying is trustworthy: If someone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. This introductory verse is loaded with language that draws the reader to picture a man full of energy and strong emotions that are directed toward fulfilling the…

An Examination of the Phrase “The Lord’s Day”
I found it necessary to tweak this post, which I published one year ago, on August 5, 2025, and therefore am re-publishing it as a new post. Among the more important phrases that we need to consider regarding the cacophonous cataclysm that will take place at the end of time [Please cf. https://the-dragon-is-slain.com/2024/12/03/the-roar-of-war-the-roar-of-death-and-the-roar-of-victory-the-eternal-sons-roar-was-heard-once-and-will-be-heard-once-more-are-you-ready/ ] is…

Subject: Regarding Sunday to be “the Lord’s Day,” i.e., the Day on which Yeshua Rose from the Grave
I believe every Christian desires to know Jesus Christ (Yeshua ha Moshiach, i.e., our Promised Salvation/Deliverance/Freedom) to the fullest extent possible. I also believe that this desire has been thwarted, not by the teachings of outlier sects or cults that may have brought some confusion to the minds of believers; rather, by the teachings of…

The Land of Israel as a Symbol
I have been thinking about the ‘creation’ of the State of Israel (please cf. my post https://thedragonisslain.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=3048&action=edit [A Brief Exegesis of Isaiah 14 with 1948 as the Historical Baseline for Israel’s Future]) and how that act should be viewed in light of the argument that God still has a plan for His people within the…

Interpreting Paul’s Argument for God’s Faithfulness to Israel in Romans 9-11 through the Lens of the Case of Balaam in Numbers 22-24 Incorporating the Dual Nature of The Word of God
We will begin our examination of the thesis as stated in the title at Romans chapter 9 verse 6 where Paul writes, “[οὐ] εκπέπτωκεν ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ ~ the word of God has [not] fallen” (i.e., that God has kept His word), which I take to be the infallible word of God as revealed…

A Layman’s View of Supra- vs Infralapsarianism as Based on Paul’s “Vessels of Wrath” and “Vessels of Mercy” in Romans 9
Not having received formal theological training, nor having read systematic theology in a diligent manner, I feel inadequate to attempt a bifurcation of the concepts of supra- vice infralapsarianism. My only conclusion, which is based in part on my dismay that a rigorous study of the Word of God has come to necessitate being able…

The Miracle That Is Israel, The Apple of God’s Eye – Take #2
Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens initially, followed by Carlson’s interview with Texas Senator, Ted Cruz, have blown wide open the issue of antisemitism as it relates to the ‘Church.’ The word ‘church’ itself is a misnomer, but I will use it since it serves as the unwitting baseline for those identifying as Christians, among whom…
