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.
It’s Anti-Semitism: What Else Could It Be?
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.
Prophetic Observations of the Massacre in Israel
Because the events of October 7, 2023, and days following involve Israel, we know there will be prophetic implications that will reverberate for the coming months and years.
This article expands of several prophetic observations that flow from massacre of Israeli citizens and many from other nations as well.
A Clear and Present Danger
It seems harmless to most Christians today. Many pastors who promote this teaching also adhere to the Gospel of grace. Although the danger remains hidden, it’s real.
This is because churches with a lengthy history of denying a future restored kingdom for Israel are those that today promote Wokeism and proclaim the tenants of cancel culture rather than the saving message of the cross.
10 Signs of the Looming Seven-Year Tribulation
Have you ever wondered during the past few months if the seven-year tribulation has already begun?
Although the tribulation has not yet started, we see the beginning of conditions we know will be much worse during this seven-year period. I believe this is God’s way of getting the attention of the world before His judgments begin. He’s also letting us know that His appearing is imminent.

Is God finished with Israel? Most pastors today would answer yes. They either believe God has replaced Israel with the church or they may tell you that Jesus Himself fulfilled all the promises and covenants regarding Israel.
As a result, they see no prophetic significance in Israel’s miraculous rebirth as a nation. Those in this no more Israel camp make two critical errors.
Continuing the Reformation
While Scripture alone must be our sole source for faith and practice, the study of church history does serve a couple useful purposes. First, it helps us understand the historical background for what we believe. And second, it refutes those who use church history against what we believe. This last point is especially true in the realm of future things.
The scoffers of our day love to tell us that no one believed like we do until the late nineteenth century.
5 Harmful Impacts of Amillennialism
Before the time of Augustine in the fifth century, premillennialism dominated the early church. Most of the early church fathers voiced a strong belief in a future one thousand year reign of Jesus.
Although on the surface it might seem to be an insignificant change, amillennialism profoundly changed the church in the centuries after Augustine. It altered the church’s view of Scripture, as well as of prophecy, and the negative impact of Augustine’s doctrine of future things continues to this day.
