Hamas or Israel. Sealing our destiny with the wrong choice
Hamas or Israel, why is the choice so difficult? As I write this post, Hamas or Israel is a choice that many people are making. War is raging. Many Jews in Israel have died. Babies were butchered. Mothers and fathers watched their children die. Elderly Holocaust survivors were killed. Israel has struck back with unprecedented…
The Son of Man returns. What did the early Church believe?
The Son of Man will appear in Heaven. Matthew 24:30 From the Bible, we understand that the return of Jesus and the appearance of the Son of Man in the clouds is the same event. But far too many Christians think each is a separate appearance of Jesus. It’s true that you won’t read about…
Re-Post: THE LESSON OF THE FIG TREE AND THE LAST GENERATION
The Lesson of the fig tree: Are we living in the last generation? Jesus said learn it. He said, learn the lesson of the fig tree. But all these years later, we are still very unsure about how to interpret his words. Many are adamant about their interpretation. But they have changed the length of…
Spoken into reality by Jesus! A third temple in Jerusalem
Jesus confirmed that the words spoken by Daniel are true. In Daniel’s “spoken” words, he referred to a critical prophetic event that will occur inside God’s temple. That event will trigger the final three and a half years of mankind’s failed attempt to rule the world. Jesus told his disciples that the words of Daniel…
The Holy Place is an obvious sign. Jesus made that clear
According to Jesus, there must be a Holy Place before the end of the age. Before the abomination, there will be a Holy Place. The defiling can’t be first.

Peter, James, and John, the Lord’s closest friends, asked three questions. They were prompted by the Lord’s stunning declaration. As they walked through…

Don’t let them deceive you. Beware a lie the world believes
Jesus warned and Paul reminded us. “Don’t let anyone deceive you.” Could a blatant lie deceive you?” Are you immune to coming deception that will take hold upon the entire planet? The world is becoming increasingly shrouded by an illusion. The President of the United States has coined a popular phrase. He calls it “fake…
Herod’s Temple: Jesus said, not one stone left… true?
Jesus’ disciples marveled at the buildings of Herod’s temple. As the friends of Jesus walked through the courtyards of Herod’s Temple, they boasted of what they saw to the Lord. And in their boasts, they revealed a strong sense of national pride in the beautiful buildings. And there were very good reasons to be proud…
The ten Virgins-The Parable. Did you notice the delay?
Does the Parable of the Ten Virgins teach Imminence? Matthew chapter twenty-five begins with the parable of the ten virgins. I think many in the Church have misunderstood this parable, in at least one important point. This parable is often used to teach a lesson about readiness. And in turn, it is taught that Jesus…
