Living on the Edge of Eternity

Living on the Edge of Eternity

Imminency. It tells us we live each day on the edge of eternity. The Rapture might begin at any moment.

However, as the moments become days and then weeks, months, and years, we struggle to maintain our eager anticipation of Jesus’s appearing.

11 Compelling Signs of the Last Days

11 Compelling Signs of the Last Days

I’m convinced that we live in biblical times that are far different than any time since the first century AD. I say this because of the abundance of signs pointing to the soon arrival of the seven-year Tribulation with the Rapture occurring before it starts.

Although many mock our expectation of Jesus’ soon appearing, the words of Scripture side with those of us who cherish the hope of His imminent return.

What Lies Behind Today's Siege of Bible Prophecy?

What Lies Behind Today's Siege of Bible Prophecy?

Over the past few years, I have noticed an underlying current in teachings that deny such things as the Rapture, the seven-year Tribulation, and Jesus’ thousand-year reign before the eternal state. They have the net effect of diminishing Jesus’ role in end time events, which inevitably shifts the focus of the saints away from the Savior to the things of this life.

2024 Solar Eclipse: Coincidence or Final Warning?

2024 Solar Eclipse: Coincidence or Final Warning?

Could the upcoming completion of an X across the U.S. midsection by the April 8, 2024, eclipse point to another catastrophe in the months afterward such as happened in 1811 after another darkening of the sun completed an X in the same area?

Is this just an uncanny coincidence, or does it point to something far more ominous?

Replacement Theology: A Backdoor Assault on the Integrity of Scripture

Replacement Theology: A Backdoor Assault on the Integrity of Scripture

Much like a quarterback suddenly tackled from behind by a player from the opposing side, the claim that God has rejected Israel and replaced the nation with the church represents a blindside assault on the integrity of Scripture.

The Error That Causes Christians To Misunderstand The Purpose Of The Tribulation by Amir Tsarfati

The Error That Causes Christians To Misunderstand The Purpose Of The Tribulation by Amir Tsarfati

The 70th week of Daniel, also known as the Time of Jacob’s Trouble and the Great Tribulation, is one of, if not the most, decisive arguments for the pre-tribulation Rapture of the church. 

Finding Peace in a Fear-Mongering World

Finding Peace in a Fear-Mongering World

Where do we go when the perils of this life spark anger within us or cause us to retreat within ourselves in fear of what might happen next? Where do we find peace in a fear-mongering world?

Scripture Must Have the Final Say in All Things Pertaining to Both Our Faith and Israel

Scripture Must Have the Final Say in All Things Pertaining to Both Our Faith and Israel

Since our status as justified saints can never be undone, the same perpetual quality must of necessity also apply to God’s promise of restoring a kingdom to the nation of Israel.

Both rest in the enduring quality of God’s Word and the unchangeable nature of His promises to us.

Why Was it Necessary for God to Choose One People?

Why Was it Necessary for God to Choose One People?

Why did God choose the sons of Jacob, later named Israel, to be His special people. The Bible does not tell us why; it was His sovereign choice, which Romans 9 makes clear.

Although we cannot look inside God’s mind on this matter of selecting Israel, in hindsight, we recognize why it was necessary for the Lord to choose one specific race of people.

6 Signs That Something Is Amiss at Your Church

6 Signs That Something Is Amiss at Your Church

As a former pastor, I grieve because of what’s happening in many churches. The silence of shepherds keeps many saints in the dark regarding what lies behind current world events and diverts their attention to temporal things away from their glorious “blessed hope” in Jesus’ appearing.

Post-It Notes from The Edge: The Salve of Bible Prophecy

Post-It Notes from The Edge: The Salve of Bible Prophecy

Jesus not only guided me safely through many “brutal” attacks against my heart, but He also brought me to a place of ministry that reaches thousands around the world.

How? What kept me from falling off the edge? Sometimes I wonder myself, but I know what the Lord used to keep me sane at such times.

He Sees, He Is Not Silent, and He Is Coming Soon

He Sees, He Is Not Silent, and He Is Coming Soon

As I wondered about how to respond to the normality bias so evident in churches today, I thought about the title of the Francis A. Schaeffer book that I read in college, He Is There and He is Not Silent. I believe that name might be adjusted for today as, “He Sees, He Is Not Silent, and He Is Coming Soon.”

The Rabbi Who Sparked Israel's Quest for the Land

The Rabbi Who Sparked Israel's Quest for the Land

Because of a rabbi’s influence and the friendships that he formed, England went from forbidding Jews to live within its borders to publishing ben Israel’s book, The Hope of Israel, in English, honoring him late in his life, and opening its doors to the Jewish people.

Where Is the Hope?

Where Is the Hope?

If there’s anything people need today, it’s hope. We are immersed in a culture of violence, deceit, and death. In the U.S., mass shootings have become commonplace. The horrors of Hamas’ massacre shock those not drawn into the demonic lies spread by the Palestinians. Anti-Semitic rants have become commonplace on our streets and on many college campuses causing many to fear for their lives.

The Witness of Church History: Bad Theology Begets Anti-Semitism

The Witness of Church History: Bad Theology Begets Anti-Semitism

The massive influx of people from Muslim nations explains the anti-Semitic demonstrations in major cities across Europe and the U.S., but why the intense hatred such as at Cornel University in New York where Jewish students are forced to hide from danger?

The silence of churches concerning Israel’s right to the Land leaves a vacuum that the devil fills with murderous hatred.

The Mistaken Diagnoses of the Scoffers

The Mistaken Diagnoses of the Scoffers

The Rapture has become the object of scorn in many churches, even where it was once taught as a core belief. And of course, those outside of Christ give us much grief regarding our hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing, but that’s to be expected.

What lies behind the intense scoffing of our hope?

The Convergence of Signs Cry Out That Jesus Is Coming Soon, But So Few are Paying Attention

The Convergence of Signs Cry Out That Jesus Is Coming Soon, But So Few are Paying Attention

We most assuredly live in biblical times. The convergence of signs is like that of the grand finale of a fireworks show that noisily illuminates the sky with its bright display of colors. Yet sadly, many believers and pastors turn their heads and walk away from the spectacle telling themselves and others, “There’s nothing to see here.”

Good News for Weary Saints

Good News for Weary Saints

At times like these, the words of Scripture bring the most comfort to me and I suspect that they do the same for you. We can endure because the words on the pages of our Bibles ring out with the good new that Jesus will take us home to glory before the start of the seven-year Tribulation.

Does Jesus Lament Today's Silence Regarding His Imminent Appearing?

Does Jesus Lament Today's Silence Regarding His Imminent Appearing?

Jesus wept at the sight of Jerusalem knowing that its rejection of Him would lead to its destruction and much sorrow.

Does the Savior grieve today over the unwillingness of churches to mention anything concerning His appearing?

The Perils of Preterism

The Perils of Preterism

Preterism is one of today’s most popular views of the end times; it’s popularity among Christian leaders and pastors continues to grow.

In this article, I demonstrate the falseness of this belief with five egregious errors of preterism.
