The Poison Pill of Socialism

The Poison Pill of Socialism

The word “dystopia” perfectly describes what the United States would look like if all of Biden’s planned cuts in greenhouse gas emissions become a reality. This plan is inseparably linked with his declared socialist agenda for America.

13 Reasons Why We Live in the Last Hour of Human History, Part 1

It’s impossible to overstate the significance of this or dismiss it as a mere coincidence. Israel’s miraculous rebirth as a nation not only fulfills prophecy, it sets the stage for the fulfillment of all the other end time prophecies.

13 Reasons Why We Live in the Last Hour of Human History, Part 2

Because many believers reject the idea that we live in the last days before the events of the seven-year tribulation sweep over the earth, they fail to identify the many ways that makes today radically different than any previous time.

The abundance of signs that we see everywhere in our world tell us the tribulation period is ever so near and with that our departure, which happens before it.

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.

Defending the Integrity of Scripture

Defending the Integrity of Scripture

However, many pastors today insist that prophetic texts that refer to the restoration of a kingdom for Israel, the tribulation, and Jesus’ future reign are allegory, symbolical of another reality. This discrediting of the words of the Bible, however, is like a loose thread on a knit sweater. If one pulls at it long enough, it unravels the entire sweater.

Reversing the Reformation

Reversing the Reformation

In my previous post, I showed how the allegorical approach to biblical prophecy opens the doors for dismissing the true intent of other scriptural texts. Just as in the past, the disregard for the words of Scripture not only robs the saints of the joyful anticipation of their “blessed hope,” but also blurs the separation between biblical justification and that of the Roman Catholic Church.

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.

Clearing Away the Deception of Covenant Premillennialism

Clearing Away the Deception of Covenant Premillennialism

Covenant premillennialists believe Jesus fulfilled all of the Old Testament during His first coming; this includes all of God’s covenants with the nation of Israel including the promise of the Land, which the Lord says is an “everlasting covenant” (Psalm 105:8-11).

Their claim to be premillennial obscures their denial of a literal thousand-year reign of Jesus over the nations of the world.

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.

Israel’s Future Restoration Vindicates God’s Holiness

Israel’s Future Restoration Vindicates God’s Holiness

Ezekiel tells us that God’s future outpouring of blessings on the Jewish people has nothing to do with their goodness. In His own words, the Lord says that He will act “for the sake of my holy name” and to “vindicate the holiness of my great name.”

In other words, the Lord’s keeping of His promise to restore a kingdom to Israel vindicates His holiness.

The Biblical Necessity of the Pretribulation Rapture

The Biblical Necessity of the Pretribulation Rapture

The events of 2020 have caused some dear saints to think that the tribulation has already started. Others may be wondering about the certainty of the pretribulation rapture as they watch violence, lawlessness, and violence overshadow our world.

My purpose in writing is to encourage believers to remain watchful as our world becomes a dark and foreboding place. Despite what we see, we can know Jesus is coming for us before the start of the seven-year tribulation.

What is Happening in our World?

What is Happening in our World?

What is happening to our great nation? What do the riots signify? Why do we see such violence on our streets with innocent people attacked and in many instances killed? Why the tremendous increase in violence?

What if all that we are seeing points what the Bible tells us will be a world government during the time of the tribulation?

The Perilous Beliefs of Preterism

The Perilous Beliefs of Preterism

Why am I writing about preterism? It’s my passion to warn believers about false teachings related to future things and as such preterism requires our full attention because it distorts our Gospel hope.

Because of the widespread acceptance and popularity of preterism, it’s necessary to address key perils wrapped up in its false teaching.

The Conditioning of America for the New World Order

The Conditioning of America for the New World Order

Much of what we are seeing in 2020 represents a concerted effort by elite globalists to prepare people in the United States and world to accept the authority of the coming New World Order (NWO). Although President Trump remains solidly against the submission of the United States to it, the radical left has succeeded in convincing many Americans of its necessity.

Biblical Encouragement for Troubled Times

Biblical Encouragement for Troubled Times

My heart ached this past Monday morning as I read about the chaos and lawlessness near the White House. I felt both anger and fear as I saw pictures of violence and deadly attacks on law enforcement in cities throughout the United States.

It was not until I read several Psalms and through about Jesus’ promises return that my heart began to settle down and my focus began to change from the rioters to my hope in Jesus.

5 Dangerous Errors of the New Apostolic Reformation

5 Dangerous Errors of the New Apostolic Reformation

It’s perhaps the fastest growing view of end-times prophecy in the church today, but it deviates greatly from what the Bible teaches about our future. The movement often referred to as the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) relies more on experience and extra-biblical revelations than it does on the words of Scripture.

Besides NAR, some identify some identify this movement as Dominionism, Third Wave, Latter Rain, Kingdom Now, and Charismatic Renewal.
