Where We Stand: The Prophetic Timeline

Posted on October 5, 2026 by Daniel Silas

What is the reason for my hope that Jesus will return, possibly in my life time? Here is a summary of why I believe we are nearing the end of this current order of life, grounded deeply in scripture’s prophetic timeline given to us from Moses to Revelation. There is so much more detail that this brief summary does not cover. I have studied the Bible and prophecy for over 35 years, and this is what I believe. Perhaps the Lord will make it possible for me to write this into a full examination.

Jesus is coming for us. Be strong and courageous. Trust and love Him, no matter what comes.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me” (John 14:6 NIV).

Transformation (Orchestra, Opera)

Posted on October 1, 2026 by Daniel Silas

A musical interpretation of this poem I wrote in 2013. A journey for all believers from this life into the next, with a focus on the generation who will not see death… those who are saved from this world while still alive… that final generation (1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18).

Gratitude (I AM THEY)

Posted on February 19, 2024 by Daniel Silas

Paul wrote in Romans 12:1, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.”

Isaiah wrote…
“The beast of the field will honor Me,
The jackals and the ostriches,
Because I give waters in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert,
To give drink to My people, My chosen.
This people I have formed for Myself;
They shall declare My praise” (Isaiah 43:20-21).

I like the Brandon Lake version as well.

Brief Homily for a Wedding

Posted on January 20, 2024 by Daniel Silas

I will start by declaring truth, unshackled from human tradition or opinion.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men” (John 1:1-4).

By the will of the Father, the Bible says of the Son, “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible… All things were created through Him and for Him” (Colossians 1:16).

I declare, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for you created all things, and by your will they exist and were created” (Revelation 4:11).

That includes you, [Groom] and [Bride]. You were created according to His will by Him and for Him.

We know Him by various names… the Son, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, the Messiah, the Christ, the Lamb of God, Jesus of Nazareth. The Creator. Who was manifested in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16b). And as we look forward to His return He is called… The Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

All these things are important because it is by Him and under His authority that the covenant of marriage was formed.
