Pretribulation Rapture

Transhumanism: Is It Already Here?

Transhumanism: Is It Already Here?

At this point you may be asking, “Why should I care about transhumanism?” It’s because the future plans to merge humans with machines is something that already impacts you every day.

The globalists have begun implementing their plan to bring about the widespread acceptance of their transhumanism agenda, but very few recognize it as such.

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 3

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?

Don’t Let Thieves Steal Your Joyous Anticipation of Eternity

Don’t Let Thieves Steal Your Joyous Anticipation of Eternity

The practice of allegorizing biblical prophecy not only diminishes the integrity of Scripture (see my previous post), but it also turns the millennium and eternity into something far less glorious than the picture we find in God’s Word.

No One Can Cancel Our “Blessed Hope”

No One Can Cancel Our “Blessed Hope”

Today, allegorical interpretations of biblical prophecy are again driving the church away from the purity of the Gospel and in effect cancelling the “blessed hope” of Titus 2:13.

But one thing is certain: no one can cancel our blessed hope! Jesus will appear someday to take us home before God judges the Christ-rejecting world.

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.

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?

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.

The Departure of 2 Thessalonians 2:3

The Departure of 2 Thessalonians 2:3

So what’s the big deal in regarding apostasia in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 as a physical departure rather than spiritual apostasy? It adds considerable support for belief in a pretribulation rapture, one that occurs before this period of God’s wrath upon the earth.

It confirms that Jesus must come for His church before the world knows the identity of the antichrist, which we know occurs at the beginning of tribulation, if not before.

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.

Are America's Foundations Crumbling?

Are America's Foundations Crumbling?

According to the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, a lady asked Dr. Franklin, “Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy.” Benjamin Franklin replied, “A republic . . . if you can keep it.”

This quote has been ringing in my ears since I heard about the election fraud taking place in many states.

The Return of King Jesus

The Return of King Jesus

The Lord of the Rings is allegory; Jesus’ future return to earth is reality. In Tolkien’s symbolic tale of the Second Coming, King Aragorn defeats the forces of the demonic Sauron that are attacking Isengard. In biblical prophecy, Jesus will triumph over the forces that Satan will someday gather to destroy Jerusalem.

Biblical Prophecy Preserves My Sanity

Biblical Prophecy Preserves My Sanity

I would go crazy if not for the words of Scripture. I emphasize “words” because that remains Satan’s chief target as it has been through the ages. In the Garden of Eden, he challenged the veracity of God’s Word and his tactics remain unchanged to this day.

The Green New Deal: Slavery by Any Other Name

The Green New Deal: Slavery by Any Other Name

Agenda 2030 and its United States’ equivalent, the Green New Deal, are the engines behind the coming economic control that the elite globalists plan to impose on the world. The Marxist nature of these programs is slavery by any other name.

Will the Peace Accords Stabilize the Middle East?

Will the Peace Accords Stabilize the Middle East?

On September 15, 2020, President Trump presided over the signing of peace deals between Israel and the United Arab Emirates as well as between Israel and Bahrain. Fox News reported President Trump as saying that the deals would form “the foundation for a comprehensive peace across the entire region.”

From a biblical prophecy standpoint, how are we to regard these peace accords that the Trump administration refers to as the “Abrahamic Accord?”

Yes! “Our Blessed Hope” Matters

Yes! “Our Blessed Hope” Matters

Just as the rapture infused hope into the boy of my past, it does so for believers today amid the lawlessness and rampant violence on our streets. It matters now more than ever before!

One has to consciously block out the many prophetic signs of the coming tribulation in order to deny that we live in the last days of human history. It’s simply not sensible to dismiss the words of the book of Revelation as history or allegory at a time when we see its prophecies coming to life before our eyes.

What Does It All Mean?

What Does It All Mean?

How do we reconcile these diverse scenes? On the one hand, we saw a firm stand for liberty, the life of the unborn, and the preservation of our freedoms. At the same time, we witnessed demonic outbursts of hatred, murder, and violence fully intent at destroying our way of life and God-given rights.

What does it all mean? What can we expect in the days ahead?
