Don’t Be Deceived: The Rapture Happens First

Don’t Be Deceived: The Rapture Happens First

In recent years, however, the Greek Word apostasia, translated “falling away” in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, has received heightened scrutiny with many regarding this as a reference to the Rapture.

Can we justify interpreting the word as a physical departure such as would point to Jesus’ appearing to take us back to heaven? I believe we can.

Don’t Mess With the Book of Revelation

Don’t Mess With the Book of Revelation

Revelation begins with these words: “The revelation of Jesus Christ.” The book is all about Jesus’ magnificence and power. From beginning to end, Revelation glorifies our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation is more relevant than ever before as we watch a great many of its prophecies came into sharper focus.

3 Climate Myths Spread by the Globalists

3 Climate Myths Spread by the Globalists

The promotion of draconian measures to reduce our dependency on fuel and natural gas is just one way that the globalists hope to achieve the power they crave.

In this post, I list three popular climate myths that the globalists use to further their deadly agenda. These myths lie behind the green measures in the U.S. Inflation Reduction act.

Is the “Green” Science Behind the Inflation Reduction Act Valid?

Is the “Green” Science Behind the Inflation Reduction Act Valid?

The “green” provisions of the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022” assume that CO2 emissions from “fossil” fuels are cause for great alarm and hence the call for a massive amount of new spending to address the emergency.

Is the “green” science upon which the act is based valid? No, it’s not.

3 Ways Climate Alarmists Reject Biblical Truths

3 Ways Climate Alarmists Reject Biblical Truths

It's because of the current push across the world to demonize the use of fossil fuels as well as those of us who do not believe the climate alarmists that I have decided to write a series of articles in response. In this first post, I present a biblical view of the environment in response to those that claims we are the deniers of reality.

3 Dangers of Illuminating Bible Prophecy With One's Own Light

3 Dangers of Illuminating Bible Prophecy With One's Own Light

If you were to ask me why I believe what I do about Jesus’ imminent appearing and His future reign over a gloriously restored Israel, I would reply that the words of Scripture are my source of confidence. I stand on its promises.

Does It Seem as Though We Live in a Twilight Zone?

Does It Seem as Though We Live in a Twilight Zone?

Walking into many churches today is like entering a Twilight Zone where life is all good and we listen to five-year plans for the future of the church. The message from the pulpit represents a total disconnect with what's happening throughout the world.

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.
