First-Born and Second-Born: A Study Of Types And Antitypes Of The Scriptures The Bible teaches that the Hebrew custom of inheritance (which evidently came from God's instruction), after the patriarch of the family died, was to be given to the eldest son, the first-born. Ron McRay, in volume fourteen of his series "Things That Your Preacher Forgot To Tell You," reveals a seeming disparity by showing several instances where the first-born son did not receive the blessing (inheritance) but rather the second-born son did. Is there any significance to why this happened? Did the Old Covenant...

What were they thinking? What were their customs? How did the geology of the area affect them and influence their understanding? The truth in the Bible was written in such a way that the people to whom it was written would understand it. It would reference their way of life, their customs, their lifestyle, their technology, government and religious beliefs. When the Bible is attempted to be understood outside of those parameters, problems arise. The fact is that the Bible was not written to us in the year 2015 or beyond. It was not written to Bible scholars of the 1800's. It was not written...

I want to be humble when I say this, but most of the things that you will find in these books are not in print anywhere else. I will bring things to light about which very few have even begun to think in searching the Bible. There are things in the Bible that are not surface materials. As we pay closer attention to the reading and wording of all of the Bible, we will begin to see things that have been ... HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT. They are not to be "uncovered," because they are not covered. The only reason why we have not seen them is that we have not given as much attention to all of the...

The books of the Bible were given names many years after they were written. Many of the "books" are not books at all, but were letters that were written to individuals or groups of people. In the 4th century the writings were "canonized," brought together into a single book, the Bible. Religious scholars of that time made the determinations as to which writings would be included in the Bible and gave names to the books. That was not always an easy task and at times the scholars had to rely upon their best judgment and understanding. Such is the case with the "Epistle of Paul to the...

Can the context of scripture be changed by altering just one word in a chapter or entire book? Is it possible that we go through our life reading the Bible without realizing that we have either left out a word, inserted a word, or substituted a word (or phrase), which makes the meaning totally different from what we practice? In this book, Ron McRay takes a different tack from his usual style of writing. He impresses upon you to decide what the significance is of changes that have been made in the Bible. Do you want to know the truth? If so, it will require effort and may cause you to change...

Mystery Babylon and the various names given to this great city and the pronouncement of her judgment and demise is of such great importance that it occupies five of the twenty-two chapters in the book of Revelation The descriptive terms used are not to hide her identity from the 1st century believers or us today. More importantly, neither is John, nor the interpreting angel, playing some game of "hide the city." To the contrary the epistle itself (Revelation) clearly suggests that its purpose is to "reveal," not to "conceal " Among the several views, as to the identity of "the great city,"...

Dr. Ron McRay has uncovered another gem, this one a bright gleaming stone, in the study of the Greek word mello. He has an ability to uncover and open wide to the world the true pictures and understandings that are sorely missing in these times. Jesus Christ said, in the 1st century in his teachings, that there were things that would happen soon, shortly and in the lifetime of many of those hearing him speak. Yet, modern day preaching has convinced many people that the events described in the new testament have not happened yet but will happen soon. This book refutes that teaching by giving a...

What did Jesus write in the dust? Twice We know that whatever it was, it was powerful enough to send the accusers of the woman away. Dr. Ron McRay delves into this story by bringing to light biblical information that has not been revealed before. Once again the "old testament" provides vital information in understanding the "new testament." Dr. McRay has been unfolding biblical truth for many years. He has often been ahead of the rest of the evangelical crowd with books such as "The Last Days," "Behold, I Am Making All Things New," "Behold, I Am Coming Quickly" and "The Relationship Of The...
