The Poison Pill of Socialism

The Poison Pill of Socialism

The word “dystopia” perfectly describes what the United States would look like if all of Biden’s planned cuts in greenhouse gas emissions become a reality. This plan is inseparably linked with his declared socialist agenda for America.

It's The Gospel

It's The Gospel

The more I study the New Testament, however, the more it persuades me that what we call the “Rapture” was an inseparable element of the Gospel that the apostles proclaimed to the first century AD world.

13 Reasons Why We Live in the Last Hour of Human History, Part 1

13 Reasons Why We Live in the Last Hour of Human History, Part 1

It’s impossible to overstate the significance of this or dismiss it as a mere coincidence. Israel’s miraculous rebirth as a nation not only fulfills prophecy, it sets the stage for the fulfillment of all the other end time prophecies.

13 Reasons Why We Live in the Last Hour of Human History, Part 2

Because many believers reject the idea that we live in the last days before the events of the seven-year tribulation sweep over the earth, they fail to identify the many ways that makes today radically different than any previous time.

The abundance of signs that we see everywhere in our world tell us the tribulation period is ever so near and with that our departure, which happens before it.

13 Reasons Why We Live in the Last Hour of Human History, Part 3

Perhaps the most telling indicator today of the rapidly approaching tribulation is the fast-rising world government that the Bible says will dominate the world during the tribulation period. The globalists openly discuss their plans for world domination, yet so many believers, as well as their pastors, remain unaware of the sinister agenda of these elite power brokers.

Do you see it? Are you ready for the Lord’s appearing?

The globalists needed something closer to home to generate the necessary panic through which they could control people’s behavior; and COVID-19 has done exactly that. It has created the needed worldwide climate of fear, which gives them the perfect opportunity to carry out their agenda for the Great Reset, the term that the World Economic Forum (WEF) gives to the coming world government.

Defending the Integrity of Scripture

Defending the Integrity of Scripture

However, many pastors today insist that prophetic texts that refer to the restoration of a kingdom for Israel, the tribulation, and Jesus’ future reign are allegory, symbolical of another reality. This discrediting of the words of the Bible, however, is like a loose thread on a knit sweater. If one pulls at it long enough, it unravels the entire sweater.

Reversing the Reformation

Reversing the Reformation

In my previous post, I showed how the allegorical approach to biblical prophecy opens the doors for dismissing the true intent of other scriptural texts. Just as in the past, the disregard for the words of Scripture not only robs the saints of the joyful anticipation of their “blessed hope,” but also blurs the separation between biblical justification and that of the Roman Catholic Church.

Equality or Tyranny?

Equality or Tyranny?

On the surface, the Equality Act that the House of Representatives recently passed might sound harmless, but is anything but that. It’s extremely dangerous to all those who hold to a biblical faith.

The bill would eliminate freedom of speech and religion in America. It’s tyranny by any other name!

Questions that Confirm the Pretribulation Rapture, Part 1

Questions that Confirm the Pretribulation Rapture, Part 1

You may wonder why I am again writing in defense of the pretribulation Rapture, the belief that Jesus will come for His church before the start of the seven-year tribulation. I am doing so because we live in a time when many inside and outside the church ridicule our hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing.

How do we answer those who mock the hope we hold so dear?

In this two-part series, I will answer twelve questions that confirm our belief that the New Testament indeed teaches a pretribulation Rapture.

Questions that Confirm the Pretribulation Rapture, Part 2

Questions that Confirm the Pretribulation Rapture, Part 2

The purpose of this two-part series on the pretribulation Rapture is to reassure fellow believers that the New Testament indeed places the Lord’s appearing for us before the start of the seven-year tribulation.

We live in a day when deception reigns all around us and fear characterizes most people in our world. The media and Big Tech censor truth as never before in America making it very difficult to discover the reality behind the fake news that confronts us every day.

Clearing Away the Deception of Covenant Premillennialism

Clearing Away the Deception of Covenant Premillennialism

Covenant premillennialists believe Jesus fulfilled all of the Old Testament during His first coming; this includes all of God’s covenants with the nation of Israel including the promise of the Land, which the Lord says is an “everlasting covenant” (Psalm 105:8-11).

Their claim to be premillennial obscures their denial of a literal thousand-year reign of Jesus over the nations of the world.

Our Glorious Future

Our Glorious Future

Perhaps you wonder why I’m writing about glory amid the turmoil swirling around us today that points to uncertain days ahead for followers of Jesus, to say the very least. The spewing of demonic hatred at the highest levels of our government and media toward President Trump and his supporters is something that should greatly alarm even those who do not like him.

In Times Like These

In Times Like These

When the disciples asked Jesus about the signs of the end of the age, Jesus began His answer with these words, “See that no one leads you astray” (Matt. 24:4). Jesus’ first warning about the last days concerned those who would seek to deceive His followers by leading them away from the truth. Does this not describe the world in which we all live?

None Are So Blind

None Are So Blind

There’s an ancient saying that dates back to 1546 when John Heywood said, "There are none so blind as those who will not see.”

Unfortunately, this quote aptly describes the majority of pastors today in the United States, even many of those who preach in churches whose statements of faith affirm beliefs in the inerrancy of Scripture.

Christmas Reminds us of the Integrity of Scripture

Christmas Reminds us of the Integrity of Scripture

Christmas reminds me that God keeps His promises. Just as the Lord fulfilled many prophecies beginning with Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem, so also, He certainly will fulfill all His promises and prophecies that have to do with the end times includes His return to take us back to His Father’s home and the Second Coming.

Indeed, we now see so the beginning of so many yet unfulfilled prophecies, which tells us they will certainly become a reality in the near future.

The Prophetic Implication of the Mark of the Beast

The Prophetic Implication of the Mark of the Beast

One of the more familiar terms in the book of Revelation is also one of the most misunderstood phrases in the apocalypse. Many people have heard about the “mark of the beast” and its corresponding 666, but few believe it will ever become a reality.

Among those who believe it signifies a future prophecy, it has become a source of confusion amid all the talk of COVID-19 vaccines.

Patriotism Versus Eternal Expectations

Patriotism Versus Eternal Expectations

As someone taught to love my country from childhood all the way through my college days at John Brown University, I feel a deep sense of sadness by what I now see happening here in the United States and I suspect that those living in other countries have similar feelings regarding what they see.

It’s All About the Moment

It’s All About the Moment

For those of us who belong to Jesus, it’s not about the thrill of a moment in time; it’s all about the moment when eternity begins for us. It’s all about the “twinkling of an eye” when Jesus takes us home to the place that He’s now preparing for us (John 14:2-3).

Our World Hangs on the Edge of Eternity

Our World Hangs on the Edge of Eternity

I believe we live in a period of relative calm before a great storm sweeps across the planet. God’s judgment on the Christ-rejecting world is ever so close at hand. The rapidly approaching tribulation will bring people face to face with the wrath of the Lord and give them one more opportunity to turn to the Savior before they face an eternity apart from Him.
