Ukraine: It’s What People Don’t See that Matters

Ukraine: It’s What People Don’t See that Matters

Both Putin and Zelenskyy graduated from Klaus Schwab’s school for Young Global leaders. Schwab, founder and head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), promotes what he calls the Great Reset, which is a Marxist reordering of the world’s economy under one government.

So how do we explain what’s happening in Ukraine? It’s what we do not see that matters the most.

3 Reasons Why Satan Hates Jesus' Millennial Reign

3 Reasons Why Satan Hates Jesus' Millennial Reign

The opposition to Jesus’ future reign on earth remains intense. Although premillennialism grew dramatically during the twentieth century, many Bible-believing teachers and pastors have reverted to Augustine’s platonic view of reality that denies biblical teaching regarding the millennium.

What has caused this reversal in recent decades? I believe the roots of today’s passionate opposition to premillennialism lie in Satan’s continuing hatred of anything to do with Jesus’ future reign.

7 Dangers of Neglecting Biblical Prophecy in the Pulpit

7 Dangers of Neglecting Biblical Prophecy in the Pulpit

Pastors, those who listen to you preach need to hear these comforting words so they can obey Paul’s admonition to use this hope encourage each other as the world grows increasingly evil, violent, and threatening with each passing day.

Ukraine and the Devaluing of Human Life

Ukraine and the Devaluing of Human Life

I realize that such disregard for life has been a part of wars throughout history; it’s full of genocidal accounts committed by evil people yielded to the devil. Who else could inspire such atrocities?

What we see today is worse than anything before because the devaluing of human life is more widespread than ever before.

WHAT “END TIMES” PROPHECY MEANS TO ME — by Ruth Brentner

WHAT “END TIMES” PROPHECY MEANS TO ME — by Ruth Brentner

To know Bible prophecy and to see it converging and aligning as never before in human history assures me that the Lord will fulfill all things written in His Word for the days to come. As a believer, my future is glorious and secure regardless of man’s opinions and interpretations of what is happening

The Rapture: Needed Encouragement for Perilous Times

The Rapture: Needed Encouragement for Perilous Times

Perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of the Rapture is how it encourages believers during difficult and even dangerous times. We need this its comforting salve now, perhaps more than ever before.

Where else can we turn for hope as a war rages in Europe and threatens to further hinder the supply chain of food to our stores?

At Any Moment

At Any Moment

New Testament saints regarded the biblical event that we call the Rapture as something that could happen at any moment. It’s what they did. It’s something we should do as well.

The Rapture is My Precious Hope

The Rapture is My Precious Hope

My purpose for this post is not to defend the doctrine of the pretribulation Rapture as I have done in numerous blog posts as well as in my latest book, The Triumph of the Redeemed. Instead, I chose to explain why my hope in Jesus’ appearing is so dear to my heart.

Storm Warning

Storm Warning

The prophetic signs of our day resemble a storm warning. The dark threatening clouds on our horizon point to nearness of the time when the four horses of Revelation 6:1-8 will burst out of their stalls and gallop across the earth.

For us as believers, the black clouds on the horizon signal the nearness of Jesus’ appearing; we will be in heaven with Jesus when He opens the seals.

The Rapture Cannot Happen at the Same Time as the Second Coming

The Rapture Cannot Happen at the Same Time as the Second Coming

The Rapture and the Second Coming are different events; they cannot happen at the same time.

In the previous post in this series, we established the Rapture as a biblical event; we have a firm scriptural basis for the series of closely related events that constitute our “blessed hope” (Titus 2:11-14).

Revival Or Rapture?

Revival Or Rapture?

Is this it? Are we at the end of human history as know it? Is the Rapture next on God’s prophetic calendar? Or are we about to see a worldwide revival that will halt the world’s seemingly unstoppable path to the kingdom of the antichrist?

Keys to Surviving in Perilous Times

Keys to Surviving in Perilous Times

The word that’s translated “perilous,” or “difficult” in some translations, is Chalepos. This term denotes the last days as “dangerous” and “hard to bear.” In Matthew 8:28, it depicts the fierceness of the two men possessed by demons. The text says that they were “so fierce that no one could pass that way.”

Such are the dangerous times in which we live, and they will grow increasingly treacherous leading up to and during the seven-year Tribulation.

The Good News About Eternity

The Good News About Eternity

There’s good news about eternity in the Gospel message. Of course, the saving message of the cross assures us as believers of the forgiveness of all our sins and empowers us to walk with the Savior in this life. Its saving message also contains great news about forever that enables us to put the the lawlessness, violence, and wickedness of our world into a proper context.

The Most Ignored Verse in the Bible

The Most Ignored Verse in the Bible

If I were to cite this verse for any Bible-believing saint, he or she would immediately affirm belief in what it says as well as its place in Scripture.

Yet, most Christians today not only ignore this verse, but live as though it’s message is not at all true.

Coming to Grips . . . With a Government That Wants to Kill Me

Coming to Grips . . . With a Government That Wants to Kill Me

Michelle Bachman, in an interview with Jan Markell, referred to the Biden administration is a “culture of death.” The facts confirm her statement. Those in charge of the United States display absolutely no interest in saving lives; I believe they are the ones seeking to killing me and many others within their jurisdiction.

Finding Peace in the Midst of Lawlessness and Deceit

Finding Peace in the Midst of Lawlessness and Deceit

How do we as redeemed saints avoid anger when we look at the deceit and wickedness afoot in our world? I believe the Lord inspired Psalm 37 for just such a time as this.

The Tragic Divorce of Our “Blessed Hope” from the Gospel

The Tragic Divorce of Our “Blessed Hope” from the Gospel

Somewhere in the past a tragic divorce occurred; someone decided that we must separate the return of Jesus for His church from the proclamation of the Gospel.

(Note: this is a repost from over a year ago that I am adding to go along with my post regarding the most ignored verse in the Bible.)

What Do the Events in Afghanistan Reveal About Our World?

What Do the Events in Afghanistan Reveal About Our World?

The Biden administration’s gift of Afghanistan to the Taliban reveals many things about our world. Among other things, it tells us that the seven-year Tribulation is exceedingly close and hence the Lord’s appearing to take us home.

Unforgettable Faces

Unforgettable Faces

Today, we find ourselves in the midst of another battle that’s far more deadly than the one in Southeast Asia so long ago. It’s Satan versus humanity.

It also has its victims, faces that often flash across social media before the censors delete them in one way or another.
