Is it possible to know for sure that the Rapture will happen before the start of the seven-year Tribulation? Yes, and the viewpoint that says we cannot know whether or not we will experience the Day of the Lord wrath confirms my belief.

Is Today Any Different?
I have heard it said in many ways from both Christians and pastors. They say today is no different than any other previous period in history. They tell us that just like the past, the societal trends we bemoan will correct themselves.
In other words, there’s no reason to think we live in the last days of human history. But is this really the case?
The Rapture: Frequently Asked Questions
The dearth of sound biblical teaching on Bible prophecy has created a void that false teachers have filled with a wide assortment of wayward beliefs regarding the church, Jesus’ appearing, the Second Coming, and Israel. As a result, most believers cannot discern the season in which we live and place their future expectations on temporal outcomes rather than eternal realities.
In Invitation to a Lavish Feast, I seek to provide the saints with a firm foundation for their hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing.

September Rapture: Hype or Hope?
From what I have read or seen on social media, most of us who are excited about the possibility of a September Rapture are not saying it will happen during this Feast of Trumpets. We avoid date-setting and agree that it’s wrong. We know that such failed predictions of the past have placed an unwelcome stigma on all of us who yearn for Jesus’ soon appearing.

All the biblical depictions of this other-world domain, whether it be the glories of Heaven, the earth during Jesus’ thousand-year reign, or the eternal state, far surpass the mythical Narnia in their captivating beauty and splendor. It’s this kingdom that should fill our hearts with wonder and joyous anticipation. Yet so many believers live as though the reality behind the mythical Narnia doesn’t exist.
Awake and Watching
The good news is that Paul doesn’t limit participation in the Rapture to those who are watching for it. The opposite of looking for Jesus’ appearing is not that of physical death, but rather that of being asleep in the sense of not paying attention to the sings of the times, a common malady among the saints today.

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. A year ago, the United States had a ten million dollar bounty on his head; it regarded him as one of most dangerous terrorists in the world. Now it recognizes him as the president of a legitimate Syrian government.

The Necessity of Clinging To the Biblical Hope That Justice Is Coming
Bible prophecy matters; it’s the key to understanding the day in which we live. We need a true Scripture-based perspective of what lies beyond this life in order to make sense of our journey through it.
Without it, we would struggle to understand how a sound biblical worldview intersects with the tragedies, senseless violence, corruption, and lawlessness that are so rampant in our day.
