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.

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.

12 Signs the World is Running Out of Normal

12 Signs the World is Running Out of Normal

I understand why so many question Jesus’ soon return given the fact that it’s been two thousand years since He promised to return.

In spite of the long wait, I’m convinced that Jesus’ appearing is imminent because of the myriad of signs telling us that the Tribulation period is right on our doorstep.

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.

Israel’s Future Restoration Validates Our Hope as New Testament Saints

Israel’s Future Restoration Validates Our Hope as New Testament Saints

Both Israel’s future and our security as New Testament Saints rest upon both God’s promises and character. That’s why I always begin my defense of the pre-Tribulation Rapture with the biblical teaching regarding the Lord’s future restoration of Israel.

The Anchor Of Our Blessed Hope Holds Amid Wicked and Lawless Times

As the walls of the world close in on us and threaten our wellbeing, freedoms, and perhaps even our lives in the days ahead, we know that our hope rests in the “steadfast anchor of our soul,” namely Jesus and our anticipation of His soon return for us.

Although Popular, It's a Dangerous View of the End Times

Although Popular, It's a Dangerous View of the End Times

We believe that Israel’s miraculous reappearance as a nation and the Lord’s supernatural defense of this country mark the beginning of His fulfillment of promises that He made to Israel through the Old Testament prophets.

We most assuredly live in biblical times!

It’s The Fastest Growing View Of End-Times Prophecy In The Church Today, But It’s Wrong

It’s The Fastest Growing View Of End-Times Prophecy In The Church Today, But It’s Wrong

The church is the body of Christ with Jesus as its Head; it does not operate as a kingdom in this present world. And it’s most certainly not the restored kingdom of Israel.

The Lord never intended for His church to behave like a kingdom with an aristocracy that rules over it. We function on earth as Jesus’ body with each member possessing spiritual gifts that support the whole.

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.

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.

A Dozen Prophetic Signs That Tell Us We Live on the Edge of Eternity

A Dozen Prophetic Signs That Tell Us We Live on the Edge of Eternity

We live on the edge if eternity. For those who know Jesus as their Savior, it will start when He catches us up to meet Him in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:3-17). We live in biblical times.

As many of you know, I often write about the signs of the time. However, I feel compelled to do so again as reminder both to myself as well as to others of the nearness of Jesus’ appearing.

The Unbiblical Basis of Amillennialism

The Unbiblical Basis of Amillennialism

Amillennialism dominated the church during the dark ages and persisted long after the Reformation. The reason for this rests with three factors that fueled this teaching for well over a thousand years and remain in place today, at least to some degree.

It’s vital to our faith that we understand the errant foundation of amillennialism so we can recognize the error and defend the integrity of Scripture when others seek to lead us astray.

7 Reasons Why Premillennialism is a Biblical Necessity

7 Reasons Why Premillennialism is a Biblical Necessity

Life in the eternal state will undoubtedly be spectacular,. Randy Alcorn, in his book Heaven does an excellent job of expanding our imaginations regarding what life might be like on the new earth and in the New Jerusalem. We have much to look forward to when the words of Revelation 21-22 ring true throughout the earth and universe.

If such is the case, does it matter what I believe about the millennial reign of Jesus? Absolutely!

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.

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.

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.
