7 Prophetic News Stories From 2024

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

The Biblical Necessity of the Seven-Year Tribulation

Two recent events have pushed the world closer to the fulfillment of Daniel's seventieth week (Daniel 9:27). This seven-year period begins with the antichrist establishing a peace agreement with Israel, which he will break at its midpoint by defiling the Jewish temple in Jerusalem.

In A World Obsessed With Jerusalem, How Can You Not See Bible Prophecy Unfolding?

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.

Why Israel and the Church Are Squarely in the World's Crosshairs

Why Israel and the Church Are Squarely in the World's Crosshairs

Our adversary knows Bible prophecy and recognizes that his time is short. As such, he’s already planting seeds of deadly violence throughout the world that will bear much fruit during the Tribulation.

Ancient Foes Impacting Today's World Events, and Your Future

Ancient Foes Impacting Today's World Events, and Your Future

The players are different. The technology appears to be far advanced from anything we have seen in just the past twenty-five years. Yet there is a sameness about today’s headlines that pertain to Israel. It’s about ancient foes.

What Will It Take for the Church to Wake Up?

What Will It Take for the Church to Wake Up?

The complacency of those outside of Christ is what I might expect given the vast deception and gaslighting that floods the airwaves. Sadly, most believers also live in a similar state of unawareness concerning the perils that threaten their future wellbeing.

What will it take for people to wake up? What will it take for the church to wake up?

Modern-Day Israel Fulfills Bible Prophecy

Modern-Day Israel Fulfills Bible Prophecy

On May 14, 1948, Israel again became a nation “in a day,” which was precisely what the prophet Isaiah predicted would happen (66:9). However, there are many more reasons to regard today’s Israel as occupying a key role in the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

The Biblical Necessity of the Seven-Year Tribulation

The Biblical Necessity of the Seven-Year Tribulation

The third Jewish temple been in the planning stage for three decades. The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has made all the furnishings for the third temple with the exception of the Ark of the Covenant for which they claim to know the location of the original one. They have the architectural plans for it and are currently training Levites to serve as priests.

Back in October 1962, I sensed the fear that gripped the U.S. because of the threat posed by the presence of Russian missiles in Cuba. Today, the situation is far more terrifying; because we are significantly closer to a nuclear conflict than in the last century. For most people, however, a dreamlike aura persists despite the imminent perils.

Don't Run in the Wrong Direction with Bible Prophecy

Don't Run in the Wrong Direction with Bible Prophecy

With Bible prophecy, it’s necessary to distinguish between the comings and goings if one is to be regarded as “rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). Words matter (Proverbs 30:5) if we are to avoid running the wrong way.

The Unheeded Warning of Ebrahim Raisi's Death: Don’t Mess with Israel

The Unheeded Warning of Ebrahim Raisi's Death: Don’t Mess with Israel

The wicked misinterpret God’s patience and continue in their wicked ways. Raisi, thinking he was above reproach for his monstrous actions, continued to breathe out threats to destroy Israel, never imagining that the Lord would so soon hold him accountable for his great wickedness.

Debunking Popular Lies about Premillennialism

Debunking Popular Lies about Premillennialism

Has the definition of Premillennialism changed in the past few decades? I ask this because during the past several years, a few pastors told me they were Premillennial, but they didn’t adhere to a futuristic interpretation of the book of Revelation or the restoration of a kingdom to Israel.

It’s Anti-Semitism: What Else Could It Be?

It’s Anti-Semitism: What Else Could It Be?

I could never have imagined that a U.S. President would choose to protect an organization so barbaric and monstrous as Hamas at the expense of Israel. The Biden administration is refusing to ship weapons to the nation unless it relents from its intent to invade Rafah, the last stronghold of Hamas.

11 Compelling Signs of the Last Days

11 Compelling Signs of the Last Days

I’m convinced that we live in biblical times that are far different than any time since the first century AD. I say this because of the abundance of signs pointing to the soon arrival of the seven-year Tribulation with the Rapture occurring before it starts.

Although many mock our expectation of Jesus’ soon appearing, the words of Scripture side with those of us who cherish the hope of His imminent return.

Replacement Theology: A Backdoor Assault on the Integrity of Scripture

Replacement Theology: A Backdoor Assault on the Integrity of Scripture

Much like a quarterback suddenly tackled from behind by a player from the opposing side, the claim that God has rejected Israel and replaced the nation with the church represents a blindside assault on the integrity of Scripture.

The Error That Causes Christians To Misunderstand The Purpose Of The Tribulation by Amir Tsarfati

The Error That Causes Christians To Misunderstand The Purpose Of The Tribulation by Amir Tsarfati

The 70th week of Daniel, also known as the Time of Jacob’s Trouble and the Great Tribulation, is one of, if not the most, decisive arguments for the pre-tribulation Rapture of the church. 

Why Was it Necessary for God to Choose One People?

Why Was it Necessary for God to Choose One People?

Why did God choose the sons of Jacob, later named Israel, to be His special people. The Bible does not tell us why; it was His sovereign choice, which Romans 9 makes clear.

Although we cannot look inside God’s mind on this matter of selecting Israel, in hindsight, we recognize why it was necessary for the Lord to choose one specific race of people.

6 Signs That Something Is Amiss at Your Church

6 Signs That Something Is Amiss at Your Church

As a former pastor, I grieve because of what’s happening in many churches. The silence of shepherds keeps many saints in the dark regarding what lies behind current world events and diverts their attention to temporal things away from their glorious “blessed hope” in Jesus’ appearing.

The Rabbi Who Sparked Israel's Quest for the Land

The Rabbi Who Sparked Israel's Quest for the Land

Because of a rabbi’s influence and the friendships that he formed, England went from forbidding Jews to live within its borders to publishing ben Israel’s book, The Hope of Israel, in English, honoring him late in his life, and opening its doors to the Jewish people.

The Witness of Church History: Bad Theology Begets Anti-Semitism

The Witness of Church History: Bad Theology Begets Anti-Semitism

The massive influx of people from Muslim nations explains the anti-Semitic demonstrations in major cities across Europe and the U.S., but why the intense hatred such as at Cornel University in New York where Jewish students are forced to hide from danger?

The silence of churches concerning Israel’s right to the Land leaves a vacuum that the devil fills with murderous hatred.
