Do you know that as believers, we will someday receive an inheritance that far exceeds any earthly fortune not only in value, but also in longevity? This inheritance belongs to us simply because of who we are in Christ; It's already ours even though we don't already possess it.
The Unfolding Drama of the Last Days
When I was in college fifty years ago, I believed the Rapture could happen at any moment. Since then, like the cutting away of layers of an onion, we have seen an unfolding of world events that have not only confirmed the nearness of the Tribulation and thus to the Rapture, but have also enabled us to better understand the fulfillment of events during the Tribulation.
Can God Change His Mind about Us? Or About Israel?
Combining the Rapture and the Second Coming Is Biblically Impossible
Do you realize that as New Testament saints, we will take part in the most astonishing and magnificent event that the world will ever see?
Revelation 19 begins with thunderous praise for our Savior followed by our celebration with Him at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Then, “arrayed in fine linen, white and pure,” we will follow Jesus back to earth riding on white horses (Revelation 19:11-16) .
The Bloody Path to the Tribulation
The Devastating Consequences Of The Church Ignoring Our "Blessed Hope"
In Romans 8:23, the apostle identifies a key aspect of Jesus’ appearing, “the redemption of our bodies,” and then in verse 24 he states, “For in this hope we were saved.” Paul regarded the event we call the “Rapture” as a key belief because it signified the “hope” contained in the saving message of the Gospel.
Is the UN Agenda for Israel and Jerusalem Prophetically Significant?
Evidence that Demands a Verdict
Similar to what Josh McDowell wrote in his book, when I place today’s signs of the last days in the scales, they tip the balance overwhelmingly in favor this being the last moments before we as New Testament saints meet the Lord in the air.
The mountain of evidence allows for no other verdict than the one that says we live in the season of Jesus’ appearing.

California’s Wildfires, A Calamity Of Whose Making?
It's difficult for me not to see God’s hand in bringing together the many factors that contributed to the dreadful images that continue to stream our way from the west coast. It’s not the Day of the Lord wrath, but we would amiss not to see it as His warning of lies ahead for those who refuse to respond to His gracious offer of salvation.
No Time for Complacency
What Would Jesus Say?
If the first nine days of 2025 are any indication of what lies ahead, we are in for a wild ride. It was popular at the start of this century to ask, "What would Jesus do?" As we view pictures of the devastation left by the fires in Southern California, perhaps it might better to ask, "What would Jesus say?" about our day.
The Rapture: Wildcard for 2025
With the dawning of 2025, is there any cause for us to be less watchful than we were a year ago? No, I believe it’s rather a time for increased optimism. Of course, it would be more than a little foolish to predict that the Rapture will happen in the next twelve months. However, it would be equally so to say it couldn’t happen at any moment.
Gabriel's Announcement to Mary Speaks to the Lack of Discernment in Today's Church
The fulfillment of Messianic prophecies began with Gabriel’s visit to Mary to announce the birth of Jesus (Luke 1:28-38). Along with explaining her supernatural virgin birth, the angel referred her Isaiah’s prophecy concerning the Messiah’s birth as a “child” (Isaiah 9:6-7). His message to the mother of Jesus included the promised millennial reign of her Son.
7 Prophetic News Stories From 2024
A year ago, I thought the Rapture would surely happen during 2024. Although we remain earthbound, the signs of the approaching Tribulation period continue to reach new heights in both frequency and intensity.
In this article, I have selected seven news stories from the past year that continue to shout with the message that we live in the last days leading up to the start of the Tribulation period.

The Biblical Necessity of the Seven-Year Tribulation

Refuting the Great Lie About Our "Blessed Hope"
Though it’s been debunked countless times, a great many saints remain convinced that the doctrine of the pre-Tribulation Rapture originated with John Darby. Although they insist that no one believed in such a thing before him, it’s simply not true.
Let me be clear: If anyone tells you that this teaching originated with John Darby, they are either purposely misleading you or have themselves been the victim of someone deceiving them about its origin.
In A World Obsessed With Jerusalem, How Can You Not See Bible Prophecy Unfolding?
The group, which calls itself the Global Alliance, will meet again in Brussels on November 11, 2024, and then soon after on the 28th with the goal of putting in place a seven-to-ten-year peace agreement that would divide the Land and the city of Jerusalem via a two-state solution.
This points to the future fulfillment of at least three specific Bible prophecies that are in some way preparing for the antichrist’s arrival on the world scene.
