Never has the chance of war been more prominent than now – and if sanctions don’t work, that could be what we’re facing. It would seem we are once again at the brink of war in response to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. America has been playing a dangerous balancing act between supporting an ally while not provoking the Russians to expand their conflict. We may have been at the brink of war following the attack on our embassy … Continue reading →
Before jumping to any conclusions, let me explain the above image. It is hyperbole – meant to catch your attention. I am not suggesting that face masks are the mark of the beast. I encourage you to continue reading the article below and I will explain how this image is symbolic of how the mark of the beast may be introduced to a brave new world. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, … Continue reading →
Never before in American history have Christians experienced the war on Christianity, of being hated for following Jesus Christ as they are today. Jesus warned his disciples and explained why there exists a hatred for Christianity. “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the … Continue reading →
Barcodes are everywhere: they are as familiar as a trip to buy groceries. Now part of almost every package that crosses the supermarket, drugstore, and retail counter, bar codes and other related technology stand poised to move into many other facets of society. In their quest for better device identification, the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA have tested new coding systems that pack in much more information than current bar codes. These new “two-dimensional” bar codes can squeeze in … Continue reading →
Our privacy has been invaded by big government and big business tracking and data-basing of our medical records, employment records, education records, driving records, travel records, library records, financial records….etc. Now they want to monitor our religion. Breaching the “Wall of Separation” between Church and State In the aftermath of the Jonestown massacre in 1978 came a congressional investigation of religious “sects,” resulting in the establishment of the principle that there is a legitimate federal interest in the classification of … Continue reading →
Many recognize the book of Revelation reveals that at some point in time the antichrist will be able to: Track and control all financial transactions, and That NO MAN will be able to buy or sell anything unless he has the mark of the beast. . And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, … Continue reading →
The factors that determine social class vary widely from one society to another with different people or groups within society having very different ideas about what makes one “higher” or “lower” in the social hierarchy. A complete discussion of social class is beyond the scope of this article, and I want to instead focus on the most basic class distinction: that is, between the powerful and the powerless, and how the conflict is waged on the political, social, economic, and … Continue reading →
There is a growing pattern of wickedness and lawlessness dominating our society today that throughout history was found in civilizations in the process of decline. It is a pattern evident in nations that rejected God’s Word as ultimate authority in their lives and is a pattern prevailing in many Americans today. Scripture tells us that… Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. – Matthew 24:12 I believe America’s rejection of Christ’s lordship is the … Continue reading →
What did Jesus declare would happen if the days of tribulation were allowed to continue? For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now–and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. – Matthew 24:2122 What days are Jesus referring to here? Clearly, its a time of distress [tribulation] unlike anything before … Continue reading →
He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. – Pslam 104:5 Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. – Ecclesiastes 1:4 He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that he established forever. – Psalm 78:69 The above passages indicate that the physical earth will always exist. Words like ‘remain forever’, ‘established forever’, and ‘never be moved’ would signify permanence. While the physical earth may last forever, the ‘age’ of humans … Continue reading →
Some believe the last seven years of the “age” is known as the Tribulation Period when God will pour out great judgments upon the world because of the sins and wickedness of men.
Continue reading →Many look to the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 as Jesus’ teaching about the end of days and His return. It can be a difficult teaching to fully understand and its interpretation varies widely. I suppose none of us will truly fully understand until that time comes when the veil is removed and these prophecies are finally fulfilled. My approach to understanding these passages is to take them in the plain sense reading in the … Continue reading →
Dispensationalists look to the last seven years of the present age known as the Tribulation Period when God will pour out great judgments upon the world because of the sins and wickedness of men. Although not the ultimate judgments, these terrible judgments associated with the Tribulation Period are pictured as seven seals opened (Revelation 6), seven trumpets blown (Revelation 8-9), and seven bowls poured out (Revelation 16) in God’s last effort to reconcile man to God through the grace of … Continue reading →
World changing technological discoveries don’t come along very often, and when they do the full weight of their impact isn’t always felt immediately. Take the automobile, the cell phone, and the internet as modern examples. One of these world changing advancements is standing right in front of us now. Scientists are still in the early stages of grasping it’s full potential but the excitement is palpable. It won’t be long before this medical discovery walks through the door into our … Continue reading →
Did Jesus prophesy that a time of great trouble would occur on the earth just before His return? This passage contained in the Olivet Discourse seems to be one of the more controversial ones within the Church. While it doesn’t directly deal with our salvation or “who” Jesus is, it does nonetheless spark debate among Christians regarding the coming of Christ and the last days. From my research, it wasn’t really all that controversial prior to the 1800’s when John … Continue reading →
