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.

Our Glorious Future

Our Glorious Future

Perhaps you wonder why I’m writing about glory amid the turmoil swirling around us today that points to uncertain days ahead for followers of Jesus, to say the very least. The spewing of demonic hatred at the highest levels of our government and media toward President Trump and his supporters is something that should greatly alarm even those who do not like him.

In Times Like These

In Times Like These

When the disciples asked Jesus about the signs of the end of the age, Jesus began His answer with these words, “See that no one leads you astray” (Matt. 24:4). Jesus’ first warning about the last days concerned those who would seek to deceive His followers by leading them away from the truth. Does this not describe the world in which we all live?

None Are So Blind

None Are So Blind

There’s an ancient saying that dates back to 1546 when John Heywood said, "There are none so blind as those who will not see.”

Unfortunately, this quote aptly describes the majority of pastors today in the United States, even many of those who preach in churches whose statements of faith affirm beliefs in the inerrancy of Scripture.

Christmas Reminds us of the Integrity of Scripture

Christmas Reminds us of the Integrity of Scripture

Christmas reminds me that God keeps His promises. Just as the Lord fulfilled many prophecies beginning with Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem, so also, He certainly will fulfill all His promises and prophecies that have to do with the end times includes His return to take us back to His Father’s home and the Second Coming.

Indeed, we now see so the beginning of so many yet unfulfilled prophecies, which tells us they will certainly become a reality in the near future.

The Prophetic Implication of the Mark of the Beast

The Prophetic Implication of the Mark of the Beast

One of the more familiar terms in the book of Revelation is also one of the most misunderstood phrases in the apocalypse. Many people have heard about the “mark of the beast” and its corresponding 666, but few believe it will ever become a reality.

Among those who believe it signifies a future prophecy, it has become a source of confusion amid all the talk of COVID-19 vaccines.

Patriotism Versus Eternal Expectations

Patriotism Versus Eternal Expectations

As someone taught to love my country from childhood all the way through my college days at John Brown University, I feel a deep sense of sadness by what I now see happening here in the United States and I suspect that those living in other countries have similar feelings regarding what they see.

It’s All About the Moment

It’s All About the Moment

For those of us who belong to Jesus, it’s not about the thrill of a moment in time; it’s all about the moment when eternity begins for us. It’s all about the “twinkling of an eye” when Jesus takes us home to the place that He’s now preparing for us (John 14:2-3).

Our World Hangs on the Edge of Eternity

Our World Hangs on the Edge of Eternity

I believe we live in a period of relative calm before a great storm sweeps across the planet. God’s judgment on the Christ-rejecting world is ever so close at hand. The rapidly approaching tribulation will bring people face to face with the wrath of the Lord and give them one more opportunity to turn to the Savior before they face an eternity apart from Him.

Walking by Faith in Perilous Times

Walking by Faith in Perilous Times

Habakkuk lived in a day remarkably similar to ours and felt the exact despondency we feel as we witness the corruption, violence, and injustice of our day. His words in the opening verses of the book he penned sound eerily similar to many of our thoughts as we witness the injustice all around us.

America: A Nation in Peril

America: A Nation in Peril

If the globalists put Joe Biden in the White House, the task of implementing The Great Reset will be easy although it may not happen immediately. If President Trump wins re-election, they will seek to overthrow the government of the United States.

Much peril lies ahead for the United States regardless of who wins the November 3 election in the United States, but there’s great news for those who belong to Christ.

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.

The Green New Deal: Slavery by Any Other Name

The Green New Deal: Slavery by Any Other Name

Agenda 2030 and its United States’ equivalent, the Green New Deal, are the engines behind the coming economic control that the elite globalists plan to impose on the world. The Marxist nature of these programs is slavery by any other name.

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 Indispensable Value of Biblical Prophecy

The Indispensable Value of Biblical Prophecy

What if we did not have biblical prophecy to provide a context for the events unfolding in our world? What if we did not have the book of Revelation to tell us we should expect to see a world government in the last days? What if we did not have Jesus’ words in Mathew 24 that speak of the days before His return to the earth?

Biblical prophecy is indispensable for the day in which we live!

The Prepping of Society for the Antichrist

The Prepping of Society for the Antichrist

When 2020 began, who could have imagined that a virus from China would take us closer to the tribulation? However, COVID-19 has done exactly that.

This “social control” is paving the way for the coming world government. The global warming alarm and the fear generated by COVID-19 are prepping society for the arrival of the antichrist.

Yes! “Our Blessed Hope” Matters

Yes! “Our Blessed Hope” Matters

Just as the rapture infused hope into the boy of my past, it does so for believers today amid the lawlessness and rampant violence on our streets. It matters now more than ever before!

One has to consciously block out the many prophetic signs of the coming tribulation in order to deny that we live in the last days of human history. It’s simply not sensible to dismiss the words of the book of Revelation as history or allegory at a time when we see its prophecies coming to life before our eyes.

Unheeded Warnings and Sudden Devastation

Unheeded Warnings and Sudden Devastation

On May 18, 1980 Mount St. Helens erupted with such force that the top 1,300 feet of the mountain instantly disappeared. The explosion caused a huge landslide that moved down the mountainside at speeds in excess of 110 miles per hour destroying everything in its path, including the residence of Harry R. Truman.

Why mention a stubborn old man who refused to heed the warnings of impending disaster? Because he epitomizes so many in our world today.

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.
