What Keeps People from Believing the Words of Scripture?

Why do even pastors who claim that the Bible is inerrant go off on tangents that contradict the words of Scripture? I believe there are two key reasons for such unbelief.

Syrian Terror: Is The Destruction Of Damascus on the Horizon?

Syrian Terror: Is The Destruction Of Damascus on the Horizon?

It happened almost overnight. The world’s perception of Abu Mohammad al-Julani changed from that of a wanted terrorist to the respected president of Syria. A year ago, the United States had a ten million dollar bounty on his head; it regarded him as one of most dangerous terrorists in the world. Now it recognizes him as the president of a legitimate Syrian government.

Jesus’ Preeminence Dispels False Views of His Return

Jesus’ Preeminence Dispels False Views of His Return

Even though I have studied Bible prophecy for decades, I’m increasingly caught up in the wonder of how God’s Word describes Jesus’ dazzling return to planet earth. And to think that we will be there, riding behind Him on white horses. How can we even begin to imagine what we will feel?

Invitation to a Lavish Feast

Invitation to a Lavish Feast

The dearth of sound biblical teaching on Bible prophecy has created a void that false teachers have filled with a wide assortment of wayward beliefs regarding the church, Jesus’ appearing, the Second Coming, and Israel. As a result, most believers cannot discern the season in which we live and place their future expectations on temporal outcomes rather than eternal realities.

In Invitation to a Lavish Feast, I seek to provide the saints with a firm foundation for their hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing.

God's Covenant with Israel by Josh Davis

God's Covenant with Israel by Josh Davis

Replacement theology teaches that the church has replaced Israel in God’s prophetic and redemptive plan. If this theology is correct, the negative implications are massive and negatively impact our security in Christ.

Can God Change His Mind about Israel? Or About Us?

Can God Change His Mind about Israel? Or About Us?

Satan’s tactics have not changed; he still seeks to inject insecurity into the final outcome of our faith, which makes it depend on our continuing love for the Lord rather than His unfailing love for us.

Our Priceless Inheritance

Our Priceless Inheritance

Do you know that as believers, we will someday receive an inheritance that far exceeds any earthly fortune not only in value, but also in longevity? This inheritance belongs to us simply because of who we are in Christ; It's already ours even though we don't already possess it.

Combining the Rapture and the Second Coming Is Biblically Impossible

Combining the Rapture and the Second Coming Is Biblically Impossible

Do you realize that as New Testament saints, we will take part in the most astonishing and magnificent event that the world will ever see?

Revelation 19 begins with thunderous praise for our Savior followed by our celebration with Him at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Then, “arrayed in fine linen, white and pure,” we will follow Jesus back to earth riding on white horses (Revelation 19:11-16) .

The Devastating Consequences Of The Church Ignoring Our "Blessed Hope"

The Devastating Consequences Of The Church Ignoring Our "Blessed Hope"

In Romans 8:23, the apostle identifies a key aspect of Jesus’ appearing, “the redemption of our bodies,” and then in verse 24 he states, “For in this hope we were saved.” Paul regarded the event we call the “Rapture” as a key belief because it signified the “hope” contained in the saving message of the Gospel.

Is the UN Agenda for Israel and Jerusalem Prophetically Significant?

Is the UN Agenda for Israel and Jerusalem Prophetically Significant?

While the upcoming meetings at the UN point us in the direction of Daniel’s seventieth week, they don’t quite get us there; something is missing. At least two major obstacles that stand in the way of the UN imposing its will on Israel.

Evidence that Demands a Verdict

Evidence that Demands a Verdict

Similar to what Josh McDowell wrote in his book, when I place today’s signs of the last days in the scales, they tip the balance overwhelmingly in favor this being the last moments before we as New Testament saints meet the Lord in the air.

The mountain of evidence allows for no other verdict than the one that says we live in the season of Jesus’ appearing.

5 Perils Facing President Trump

5 Perils Facing President Trump

Even with the positive and heartwarming scenes that emerged from Inauguration Day 2025, the US faces a future fraught with danger. The following perils facing the newly elected President are not exhaustive, but they are the ones I consider to be the most daunting.

No Time for Complacency

No Time for Complacency

Unfortunately, today’s prosperity leads many to a state of complacency regarding the Lord’s return, one that causes them to ignore the multitude of signs pointing to the start of the Tribulation.

The Rapture: Wildcard for 2025

The Rapture: Wildcard for 2025

With the dawning of 2025, is there any cause for us to be less watchful than we were a year ago? No, I believe it’s rather a time for increased optimism. Of course, it would be more than a little foolish to predict that the Rapture will happen in the next twelve months. However, it would be equally so to say it couldn’t happen at any moment.

Gabriel's Announcement to Mary Speaks to the Lack of Discernment in Today's Church

Gabriel's Announcement to Mary Speaks to the Lack of Discernment in Today's Church

The fulfillment of Messianic prophecies began with Gabriel’s visit to Mary to announce the birth of Jesus (Luke 1:28-38). Along with explaining her supernatural virgin birth, the angel referred her Isaiah’s prophecy concerning the Messiah’s birth as a “child” (Isaiah 9:6-7). His message to the mother of Jesus included the promised millennial reign of her Son.

Rapture Ramifications

Rapture Ramifications

The events of the past couple weeks have definite implications regarding the nearness of the Rapture. However, they may be different than what you might expect.

Refuting the Great Lie About Our "Blessed Hope"

Refuting the Great Lie About Our "Blessed Hope"

Though it’s been debunked countless times, a great many saints remain convinced that the doctrine of the pre-Tribulation Rapture originated with John Darby. Although they insist that no one believed in such a thing before him, it’s simply not true.

Let me be clear: If anyone tells you that this teaching originated with John Darby, they are either purposely misleading you or have themselves been the victim of someone deceiving them about its origin.

In A World Obsessed With Jerusalem, How Can You Not See Bible Prophecy Unfolding?

In A World Obsessed With Jerusalem, How Can You Not See Bible Prophecy Unfolding?

The group, which calls itself the Global Alliance, will meet again in Brussels on November 11, 2024, and then soon after on the 28th with the goal of putting in place a seven-to-ten-year peace agreement that would divide the Land and the city of Jerusalem via a two-state solution.

This points to the future fulfillment of at least three specific Bible prophecies that are in some way preparing for the antichrist’s arrival on the world scene.
