Dive into Ezekiel 17 with this in-depth expository Bible study, uncovering the profound meaning behind God’s riddle to Judah. This sermon explores how the Lord uses a symbolic riddle involving two eagles—one representing Babylon and the other Egypt—to reveal Judah’s misplaced trust and spiritual rebellion. Learn why Babylon was God’s chosen instrument for disciplining His people and why Egypt always leads to spiritual ruin.

This teaching focuses on two key insights:

Babylon Is Not So Bad When The Lord Wants You Discipled There
Egypt Is Always Bad Because The Lord Delivered You From There

Prophecy Update #812 – Normies

Hermeneutics is the study of how to interpret the Bible. What principles & methods do we follow? Why do we follow them?

Our ‘hermeneutic’ emphasizes a literal, grammatical-historical approach to interpreting the Bible. Here is what we mean.

Join us for Prophecy Update #812, where we explore the foundational Biblical hermeneutic used at Calvary Hanford—a literal, grammatical-historical approach to interpreting Scripture. In this video, we discuss why it’s essential to read the Bible as we would any other literature, paying attention to the plain, normal meaning of words, while recognizing literary devices like metaphors and symbols within their proper context.

This method leads us to two key conclusions:

The Bible should be understood in its straightforward, literal sense.
Ethnic Israel and the Church are distinct entities in God’s overarching plan for humanity.

By interpreting the Bible this way, we embrace a “normal” reading that honors its genre, historical setting, and the intent of its authors. This perspective not only enriches our understanding of Bible prophecy but also strengthens our faith as we see God’s plan unfolding with clarity and purpose.
