If People Are Already Saying “Peace and Security”
A Time Like No Other
I often hear statements such as, “Today is no different than any other time in history; look at what happened in the last century with its deadly wars.” Others point to New Testament times when immorality across the Roman Empire rivaled that of our day.
Is our day truly unique? Do we live in the season of Jesus’ imminent appearing?
What Did Jesus Assume About Modern Technology in the Olivet Discourse?
The verse speaks directly to the day in which we live. It assumes many things that couldn’t possibly be true unless Israel was once again a nation, yet still in unbelief.

Syrian Terror: Is The Destruction Of Damascus on the Horizon?
It happened almost overnight. The world’s perception of Abu Mohammad al-Julani changed from that of a wanted terrorist to the respected president of Syria.
