The Necessity of Clinging To the Biblical Hope That Justice Is Coming

The Necessity of Clinging To the Biblical Hope That Justice Is Coming

Bible prophecy matters; it’s the key to understanding the day in which we live. We need a true Scripture-based perspective of what lies beyond this life in order to make sense of our journey through it.

Without it, we would struggle to understand how a sound biblical worldview intersects with the tragedies, senseless violence, corruption, and lawlessness that are so rampant in our day.

Only Bible Prophecy Adequately Explains the Miracle of Modern-Day Israel

Only Bible Prophecy Adequately Explains the Miracle of Modern-Day Israel

Most pastors believe that Israel’s current existence has no relevance to Bible prophecy. The popular message is that the Church is now biblical Israel. Modern-day Israel is no different than any other nation with the same challenges and threats to its existence. Really?

Torch-Lighters, Modern Israel, and the Rapture

Torch-Lighters, Modern Israel, and the Rapture

The path to unbiblical teaching always begins with those who illuminate their paths with their own wisdom rather than the light that comes from the words of Scripture. How many times have we heard people say that Jesus is not the only way to eternal life despite what the clarity of what He said in John 14:6?

The Discovery of Noah's Ark Refutes Today's Scoffers

The Discovery of Noah's Ark Refutes Today's Scoffers

Do you know there’s credible evidence regarding the discovery of Noah’s ark? In 1959, a Turkish army captain and pilot, Ihan Durupinar, noticed what appeared to be the outline of a large ship near Mount Ararat on the eastern edge of modern-day Turkey. His pictures of what appeared to be the shape of a large seagoing vessel, encased in mud, attracted worldwide attention, led to the investigation of the site by experts, and attracted thousands of visitors to the site.

The Promise of the Rapture Guarantees Our Deliverance

The Promise of the Rapture Guarantees Our Deliverance

The promise of the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) guarantees that we will not experience this awful time on the earth known as the Day of the Lord. But what is it and why are we so confidence that Jesus’ will take us to glory before God judges the wicked of this world?

Why Most Christians Don't Understand What's Happening In The Middle East

Why Most Christians Don't Understand What's Happening In The Middle East

God’s Word, and in particular Bible prophecy, explains the devil’s rage against Israel as currently manifested through the Iranian leaders. Yet so many believers dismiss prophecy as stale theology, tertiary (of third-rate importance), or irrelevant.

What Does It Mean to Watch for Jesus' Appearing?

What Does It Mean to Watch for Jesus' Appearing?

The Lord’s command for us to “watch” is perhaps the most ignored of all His direct instructions to His followers. I can’t remember hearing a pastor of a local church preach on it although many of them repeatedly stress the necessity of the Great Commission because the Lord Himself commanded us to spread the Gospel to the world.

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?

Just Like the Days of Noah, People Remain Unaware of What's Coming

Just Like the Days of Noah, People Remain Unaware of What's Coming

Jesus warned that such blindness would characterize humanity before His return. In Matthew 24:37-39, He compared the days of Noah to a future time when people would be unaware of the approach of another time of worldwide judgment, that of the seven-year Tribulation.

How Bible Prophecy Explains the World’s Bizarre Interference With Israel’s Sovereignty

How Bible Prophecy Explains the World’s Bizarre Interference With Israel’s Sovereignty

Since it’s rebirth as a nation in 1948, Israel has been a key to understanding Bible prophecy. The growing determination of many nations to recognize a Palestinian state along with dividing the land of Israel and Jerusalem via a two-state solution yet again confirms the central role of the Jewish state in what Scripture says about the last days.

Invitation to a Lavish Feast

Invitation to a Lavish Feast

The presence of so many scoffers of our “blessed hope” makes it imperative that we understand why we believe what we do about our anticipation of Jesus’ imminent appearing. I wrote the book to provide a solid Biblical foundation for glorious expectation.

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.

Lawlessness Is Setting the Stage for Antichrist's Empire

Lawlessness Is Setting the Stage for Antichrist's Empire

Although we see the manifestation of all these things today, it’s but a foretaste of what lies ahead for the world after the Lord removes His Church from the world and with it, the restraining force of the Holy Spirit. Given what I see today, I shudder to think how exponentially worse life will become.

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.

The Unfolding Drama of the Last Days

The Unfolding Drama of the Last Days

When I was in college fifty years ago, I believed the Rapture could happen at any moment. Since then, like the cutting away of layers of an onion, we have seen an unfolding of world events that have not only confirmed the nearness of the Tribulation and thus to the Rapture, but have also enabled us to better understand the fulfillment of events during the Tribulation.

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) .

What Are You Waiting For?

What Are You Waiting For?

Our expectation is not only that of meeting Jesus in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:17), but also that of a resurrection body; one that will be a huge upgrade from our weak “flesh and blood” bodies. No matter what we experience in our current aging and disease-prone bodies, we know it’s temporary. And nothing, not even death, can change the fact that when Jesus appears, He will give us immortal bodies.

What Does America’s Change Of Direction Mean In View Of Biblical Prophecy?

What Does America’s Change Of Direction Mean In View Of Biblical Prophecy?

As the vast corruption of the previous US President and his administration becomes all the more apparent, we wonder how the nation survived during the past four years. President Donald Trump has brought a much-needed change of direction to our nation.

Trump’s renewed support for Israel, the uncovering of the vast wasteful and criminal spending of the past several years, and his strong appeal for peace might suggest to some that the Rapture might not be as close as they thought.
