God’s King – As Revealed in the Psalms

God’s King – As Revealed in the Psalms

While reading through Psalms several times in the past few years, I have observed anew their prophetic value. Many of them look forward to Jesus’ return to earth and His reign over the nations of the earth.

No One Can Thwart God’s Purposes for Us

No One Can Thwart God’s Purposes for Us

You see, what Joseph realized so long ago is this: Evil never thwarts God’s divine purposes for us, never. He is sovereign over the affairs of humanity even when evil people act contrary to His will.

Is America on the Cusp of a Food Catastrophe?

Is America on the Cusp of a Food Catastrophe?

The warnings of future catastrophic food shortages are everywhere. Are we prudent to pay attention and follow the example of Joseph in the book of Genesis? Or is it foolishness to believe that such shortages can really happen in America?

Despite the Ruling on Roe v. Wade, God's Judgment Still Hangs Over the U.S.

Despite the Ruling on Roe v. Wade, God's Judgment Still Hangs Over the U.S.

Make no mistake, the Supreme Court ruling on June 24, 2022, overturning Roe v. Ware is a huge victory for life, and I’m overjoyed with the decision. It will possibly spare hundreds of thousands lives from a cruel and inhumane death.

However, I’m not overly optimistic because the ruling does not brighten the dark foreboding clouds on our horizon.

Killers, Destroyers, and Gaslighters

Killers, Destroyers, and Gaslighters

I first saw the relevance of the book of Habakkuk 1 to our current day almost thirty years ago. Today, I’m stunned that we that live in U.S. have not already experienced something similar to the judgment that God sent to Judah a few decades after Habakkuk received his revelation from the Lord.

The Sound of Approaching Hoofbeats

The Sound of Approaching Hoofbeats

It’s because the entire world is so very close to the fulfillment of Revelation 6:1-8, and Scripture assures us that we will be with Jesus before these riders begin their deadly and noisy trek across the planet. We will hear the sound of the trumpet before the world hears the hoofbeats of the riders of the Apocalypse.

Is It Unbelief?

Is It Unbelief?

I’m weary of the excuses that I hear from pastors as to why they cannot talk about Jesus’ glorious return for His church. I’m tired of preachers going to great lengths to avoid saying the dreaded word, “Rapture.” You would think the church building roof would instantly cave in at even the mention of such a dreaded word.

Why the Loss of Excitement for Our Blessed Hope?

Why the Loss of Excitement for Our Blessed Hope?

“If there’s really so much to look forward to in eternity,” you might also ask, “why have so many believers lost their eagerness for it? Why do even seasoned students of prophecy at times lose their focus on our Lord’s appearing and their future reign with Him?”

Why the loss of excitement among believers for our “blessed hope?” Why do saints today have difficulty looking beyond the confines of this temporal world?

Keeping Our Eyes on the Prize

Keeping Our Eyes on the Prize

As deception, government corruption, violence, and lawlessness increase daily in our world, it becomes increasingly difficult to hang on to our hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing.

How do we keep our focus on the Rapture during these perilous times? Is there any hope for those of us weary of waiting for His return?

Rousing a Snoozing Church

Rousing a Snoozing Church

There’s insanely good news ahead for us because of Jesus’ imminent return for us, but most saints remain asleep and do not know the peace of watching for His appearing.

Daniel’s Prophecy Validates Our Hope in Jesus’ Imminent Appearing

Daniel’s Prophecy Validates Our Hope in Jesus’ Imminent Appearing

What does Daniel’s prophecy have to do with the Jesus’ imminent appearing? If the last period of Daniel’s “seventy weeks” is now nearing its start, this verifies that we live in the last days of human history. The scoffers of our day, however, tell us that Daniel’s words are no longer relevant for today and that Israel’s rebirth as a nation was just a fluke of history.

That’s How We Know!

That’s How We Know!

The resurrection is how we know that our faith rests on a sure and unshakable foundation.

That’s how we recognize that the urgency of the day as God’s judgment hangs over our world as never before. That’s how we know our hope in Jesus’ appearing to take us home is true and unshakable.

Now is the Time!!

Now is the Time!!

If there ever was a time in human history to be watching for Jesus’ appearing, it’s now!

Compared with my previous notions of godlessness and difficult times, I would characterize the day in which we live as perilous times on steroids.

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.
