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.

Can God Change His Mind About Israel? Or About Us?

Can God Change His Mind About Israel? Or About Us?

Satan’s tactics have not changed; he still seeks to inject insecurity into the final outcome of our faith, which makes it depend on our continuing love for the Lord rather than His unfailing love for us.

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.

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

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.

Words That Give Us Hope Amid the Perils of Our Day

Words That Give Us Hope Amid the Perils of Our Day

Whether it’s the Gospel or any other belief, we depend upon the words of Scripture for truth rather than our own intuition or reasoning. “Why restate such an obvious truth?”

I do so because many believers do not understand how the words of Scripture relate to the perils we face today as our world teeters on the brink of a devastating war.

It’s Far Better To Heed God’s Warnings Now, Before They Become Reality

It’s Far Better To Heed God’s Warnings Now, Before They Become Reality

As I watch current events unfold in America and around the world, I find myself wondering why the Rapture has not already occurred.

I never thought I would see so many precursors to the Tribulation period as are evident all around us and yet still be waiting for the Lord’s appearing.

A Clear and Present Danger

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.

God Sees Our Distress; He Will Deliver Us

God Sees Our Distress; He Will Deliver Us

Is it not encouraging to know that the Lord knows all about our distressing circumstances? He already sees our deliverance. The One who has “called us to glory” (1 Peter 5:10) is ever so close to taking us there (Colossians 3:4).

Don't Fall for the Illusion of Peace in Our Time

Don't Fall for the Illusion of Peace in Our Time

As I reflect on 2022, the illusion of peace that’s become the hope of many saints saddens me. This deception has come about through false teaching concerning the end times, which prevents them from recognizing the signs of the rapidly approaching Tribulation period.

Persevering in a Dangerous World

Persevering in a Dangerous World

We live in a time like no other because so very few people are paying attention to the deadly crises that loom on our horizon. We live in biblical times because what we see worldwide is precisely what God's Word says the world look like just before the start of the seven-year Tribulation.
