If the “abomination of desolation” had already taken place long before Christ was born, why did Jesus prophesy of it again in Matthew chapter 24? Actually, what the Lord is saying is that history is going to repeat itself at the end of the age. Remember, Paul predicts that the Antichrist would present himself as […]
The Abomination of Desolation
In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus prophesied of an event that he called the “abomination of desolation” (see also Israel Tomorrow). Speaking in the gravest of terms, the Lord described in one brief passage precisely how the empire of the Beast will crumble. This is what he said: “When ye, therefore, shall see the abomination […]
Iran Becoming a Nuclear Power
Iran is rising as a military power in the Middle East and is actively trying to develop nuclear weapons capability. The Bible predicts that this country will be aligned with Russia in an attack upon Israel before Christ returns. It is no surprise that Russia is now Iran’s principle backer and has vetoed attempts to […]
RFID Wristband Needed to Enter Music Festival
A new radio frequency identification (RFID) system incorporated into a colorful wristband is being used in lieu of paper tickets to enter music festivals around the U.S. this year (International Business Times, By Amanda Remling, June 1, 2012). The microchip contained in the wristband can be read by radio waves. It identifies the wearer and […]
The Final Scattering
The importance of understanding the prophetic scriptures was never better illustrated than in what happened to the Jewish people when God stood before them as a humble man instead of the expected conquering king. The blindness of the religious leaders to the fulfillment of the greatest prophetic event of all time would prove to have […]
The Scattering of Judah and Jerusalem
A. Continued Rebellion With such an open display of the curse devouring Israel you would think that the survivors would have learned from their mistakes and would carefully follow the Lord from that point forward. In Hezekiah’s day this was certainly the case. Judah experienced tremendous revival and prosperity all the remaining days of his […]
Visions of the Future
I often hear Christians say that the study of the prophetic scriptures can be overemphasized or somehow constitutes “going off on a tangent” to what the Bible is actually about. There seems to be general confusion over not only what role prophecy should play in the Christian life, but also what purpose God had in […]
The Purpose of a Prophet
Despite the potential danger of false prophets arising on the scene, the Lord knew that the work of the coming true prophets would be sorely needed. More than anything, the inspired words of the prophets served to disciple and teach God’s people how to follow him. The ministry of a prophet also had a timeless […]
The Test of a Prophet
Moses was the first in a long line of Biblical prophets that were destined to come out of the nation of Israel. Although he is frequently presented as one of the greatest leaders of Israel during the time that the Lord delivered them out of Egypt, in addition there were few men in history who […]
The Source of all Prophecy
Many people say that there is no evidence of God’s existence. They say that the universe and everything in it including life came about purely by chance with no divine intervention. It is true that the human eye cannot perceive God, nor can anyone demonstrate his reality by causing him to be revealed, but what […]
The Scattering of Israel, part II
The Assyrian Attack In the eighth century B.C., hundreds of years after Moses’ words were written down, Isaiah cried out concerning the rise of a powerful empire to the northeast of Israel. In his day, the Lord was about to use this nation to totally devastate Palestine in exact fulfillment of Moses’ words. This is […]
The Scattering of Israel, part I
Moses’ Predictions Even though a life of blessing was truly what the Lord desired for Israel, He nevertheless judged them quickly if their actions lead them into evil. The entire history of Israel in Palestine has been marked by alternate periods of blessing and cursing, the characteristics of which depended on the behavior of the […]
Big Brother is Watching
The surveillance society predicted in the book 1984 by George Orwell is now becoming a stark reality in every country of the world. At every level of government, the use of video monitoring is becoming widespread (Image: James Cridland, Flickr). In high crime areas, at major intersections, attached to downtown buildings and light poles, inside […]
Israel Preparing to Build Third Temple
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement are preparing for the construction of the Jewish Third Temple on Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem (Illustration: The Temple Institute). The stones are being cut according to the description of the Millennial Temple in Ezekiel and artisans also are making the holy objects […]
Sweden Moves to Cashless Society
Sweden may be ahead of every other country in the world as they come ever closer to a cashless society. According to Malin Rising writing for the Huffington Post, most government run institutions don’t accept cash of any kind, including transportation, payment of fees and services, obtaining licenses, and paying taxes (Image: Flickr, Images_of_Money). Most […]
The Path to Safety
How to Avoid What is Coming Upon this World The world is rushing toward a day of judgment like nothing we have ever before experienced. Jesus called it a time of “great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:21). The Apostle […]
Wars and Rumors of War
War is often glorified when absent and abhorred when present. During times of peace, nations take pride in how their soldiers of the past have fought to maintain freedom and security for their country. Memories quickly move from the blood and horror of the killing fields to the celebration of victory and patriotism. This is […]
The Key to End Times Prophecy
Since the time of Christ, virtually every generation has had some people who believed that the Second Coming was at hand. Like the boy who cried wolf in the famous fairy tale, these would-be heralds of the return of Christ have generated only disdain and disbelief from their listeners. Those who have become familiar with […]
Predictions in the Bible
The Bible has very important things to say about our future. It has been estimated that nearly 25% of the Bible was prophetic in nature at the time that the passages actually were written. The Bible contains extensive predictions or prophecies of future events – including events happening in our time – and it also […]
Israel Endangered by Chaos in Region
The so-called “Arab Spring” of 2011 has resulted in an increase in chaos and anti-Israel rumblings throughout the entire region of the Middle East. Already more militant Islamic factions have risen to power in Egypt and Libya and Syria is probably not far behind. The Bible predicted thousands of years ago that when Israel becomes […]
