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?

Living Beyond the Moment

Living Beyond the Moment

At critical times in his life, Esau made terrible decisions because he could not see beyond the moment. He lived for the immediate gratification of his desires without any regard for the consequences, for the future, or for eternity.

Esau’s life alerts us to the dangers of living solely for the temporal world, for things we can see versus those things that are eternal (2 Cor. 4:17-18).

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.

Transhumanism: The Evil Force Behind the New World Order

Transhumanism: The Evil Force Behind the New World Order

One might ask, “What does transhumanism have to do with the not so secretive plans for a Communistic world government?” “Everything” is the correct answer. You cannot have the Great Reset without transhumanism; it’s how they plan to achieve worldwide acceptance of the Great Reset.

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

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.

Refuting the Scoffers

Refuting the Scoffers

Once you say that you believe in the Rapture, the scoffers will invariably counter with this question, “How can believe something that no one believed until the late 1800’s?”

In this post, I provide evidence from church history showing that a belief in the Rapture existed long before the nineteenth century. I present this information so that you might have confidence should someone use this to attack your belief.

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.
