Pretribulation Rapture

The Biblical Necessity of the Seven-Year Tribulation

The Biblical Necessity of the Seven-Year Tribulation

The third Jewish temple been in the planning stage for three decades. The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has made all the furnishings for the third temple with the exception of the Ark of the Covenant for which they claim to know the location of the original one. They have the architectural plans for it and are currently training Levites to serve as priests.

What Will It Take for the Church to Wake Up?

What Will It Take for the Church to Wake Up?

The complacency of those outside of Christ is what I might expect given the vast deception and gaslighting that floods the airwaves. Sadly, most believers also live in a similar state of unawareness concerning the perils that threaten their future wellbeing.

What will it take for people to wake up? What will it take for the church to wake up?

Modern-Day Israel Fulfills Bible Prophecy

Modern-Day Israel Fulfills Bible Prophecy

On May 14, 1948, Israel again became a nation “in a day,” which was precisely what the prophet Isaiah predicted would happen (66:9). However, there are many more reasons to regard today’s Israel as occupying a key role in the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Don’t Miss the Blessing of Watching Bible Prophecy Come To Fruition

Don’t Miss the Blessing of Watching Bible Prophecy Come To Fruition

Living in the last days has its challenges, to be sure. We see wickedness, lawlessness, and deception increasing at an exponential clip. As violence erupts all around us, I pray daily for the safety of our children and their spouses as well as for all our grandchildren.

On the other hand, we live at a time like no other. I recently read Matthew chapters 12 and 13 and as I did, a coupe verses reminded me of the wonder of being alive at such a time as this.

Suddenly - Everything Will Change

Suddenly - Everything Will Change

The closer we get to the start of the Day of the Lord, the more we understand how the Rapture will serve as a sudden catalyst to jumpstart many of the events we read about in the book of Revelation.

We May Face Mockery, But Jesus Will Reward Our Watchfulness

We May Face Mockery, But Jesus Will Reward Our Watchfulness

What is the most ridiculed biblical belief of our day? Is it not our expectation of Jesus’ imminent appearing to take us home to Heaven? Sadly, the mocking of our “blessed hope” comes primarily from fellow believers.

Back in October 1962, I sensed the fear that gripped the U.S. because of the threat posed by the presence of Russian missiles in Cuba. Today, the situation is far more terrifying; because we are significantly closer to a nuclear conflict than in the last century. For most people, however, a dreamlike aura persists despite the imminent perils.

Jesus’ Soon Appearing Versus the Normalcy Bubble

Jesus’ Soon Appearing Versus the Normalcy Bubble

Most people live in a “bubble of normalcy” where they feel secure because of exaggerated and unrealistic hopes of either a return to normalcy or of their current lifestyle continuing indefinitely into the future unhindered by the perils around them. They sleep with no fear that their bubble might burst in the near future.

How Much Longer Can It Be?

How Much Longer Can It Be?

Just like a monkey about to hit a lion with a stick, the globalists are provoking dangerous beasts throughout the world knowing that their actions will not end well for a great many people. What’s different is that they will initially prosper from the anarchy they cause.

Jesus’ Preeminence Verifies Our Hope in His Soon Appearing

Jesus’ Preeminence Verifies Our Hope in His Soon Appearing

Colossians 1:15-20 doesn’t predict what’s going to happen next or reveal what lies ahead for this world. However, the descriptions of our Savior in these verses verify all that I believe about a pre-Tribulation Rapture, a literal seven-year Tribulation, and Jesus’ thousand-year reign over the nations.

Don't Run in the Wrong Direction with Bible Prophecy

Don't Run in the Wrong Direction with Bible Prophecy

With Bible prophecy, it’s necessary to distinguish between the comings and goings if one is to be regarded as “rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). Words matter (Proverbs 30:5) if we are to avoid running the wrong way.

The Unheeded Warning of Ebrahim Raisi's Death: Don’t Mess with Israel

The Unheeded Warning of Ebrahim Raisi's Death: Don’t Mess with Israel

The wicked misinterpret God’s patience and continue in their wicked ways. Raisi, thinking he was above reproach for his monstrous actions, continued to breathe out threats to destroy Israel, never imagining that the Lord would so soon hold him accountable for his great wickedness.

What More Does the Church Need to See?

What More Does the Church Need to See?

Never before has there been so much evidence pointing to the nearness of this time of wrath than today. However, never in recent history has there been so much unawareness and disbelief regarding Bible prophecy as we now see in churches.

Debunking Popular Lies about Premillennialism

Debunking Popular Lies about Premillennialism

Has the definition of Premillennialism changed in the past few decades? I ask this because during the past several years, a few pastors told me they were Premillennial, but they didn’t adhere to a futuristic interpretation of the book of Revelation or the restoration of a kingdom to Israel.

It’s Anti-Semitism: What Else Could It Be?

It’s Anti-Semitism: What Else Could It Be?

I could never have imagined that a U.S. President would choose to protect an organization so barbaric and monstrous as Hamas at the expense of Israel. The Biden administration is refusing to ship weapons to the nation unless it relents from its intent to invade Rafah, the last stronghold of Hamas.

HEREAFTER: It’s Far Better Than You Can Imagine 

HEREAFTER: It’s Far Better Than You Can Imagine 

In our new book, Hereafter, Terry James and I explore what the Bible reveals about eternity. What we discovered from our examination of Bible prophecy is just what the subtitle says, “It’s Far Better Than You Can Imagine.”

5 Popular Lies About the Rapture

5 Popular Lies About the Rapture

Within the walls of most churches that claim to believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, the most unpopular belief today is that of the pre-Tribulation Rapture. In such places of worship, one never hears about it while in other instance, it’s flatly denied.

As a result the backlash against our ‘blessed hope,” much of what people read about it in books and on social media just is not true.

Living on the Edge of Eternity

Living on the Edge of Eternity

Imminency. It tells us we live each day on the edge of eternity. The Rapture might begin at any moment.

However, as the moments become days and then weeks, months, and years, we struggle to maintain our eager anticipation of Jesus’s appearing.

11 Compelling Signs of the Last Days

11 Compelling Signs of the Last Days

I’m convinced that we live in biblical times that are far different than any time since the first century AD. I say this because of the abundance of signs pointing to the soon arrival of the seven-year Tribulation with the Rapture occurring before it starts.

Although many mock our expectation of Jesus’ soon appearing, the words of Scripture side with those of us who cherish the hope of His imminent return.

What Lies Behind Today's Siege of Bible Prophecy?

What Lies Behind Today's Siege of Bible Prophecy?

Over the past few years, I have noticed an underlying current in teachings that deny such things as the Rapture, the seven-year Tribulation, and Jesus’ thousand-year reign before the eternal state. They have the net effect of diminishing Jesus’ role in end time events, which inevitably shifts the focus of the saints away from the Savior to the things of this life.
