Eternal life resides in Jesus and in Him alone. No one else! This is true now and will also be the case after Jesus removes His true church from the earth.
In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
What do people need the most? The answer remains the same as it’s always been: A clear understanding of the Gospel. By this I mean that people need Jesus, not the one that so many today create in their mind but but the One revealed on the pages of Scripture.
Just as the denial of creation’s story spawns false and misleading beliefs regarding the environment, so the denial of our entire story, as redeemed believers, leads to false teaching in the church today. Just as with creation, we, too, have a glorious ending that Satan works overtime to hide from the faithful.
I realize that much contradictory information exists regarding these “vaccines” and I absolutely do not want to write this post. However, because of the extreme danger posed by the so called COVID-19 vaccines, I believe that I must say something about the dangers even though many of you will likely regard me as conspiracy nut, at best.
Because many believers reject the idea that we live in the last days before the events of the seven-year tribulation sweep over the earth, they fail to identify the many ways that makes today radically different than any previous time.
The abundance of signs that we see everywhere in our world tell us the tribulation period is ever so near and with that our departure, which happens before it.
Perhaps the most telling indicator today of the rapidly approaching tribulation is the fast-rising world government that the Bible says will dominate the world during the tribulation period. The globalists openly discuss their plans for world domination, yet so many believers, as well as their pastors, remain unaware of the sinister agenda of these elite power brokers.
Do you see it? Are you ready for the Lord’s appearing?
The globalists needed something closer to home to generate the necessary panic through which they could control people’s behavior; and COVID-19 has done exactly that. It has created the needed worldwide climate of fear, which gives them the perfect opportunity to carry out their agenda for the Great Reset, the term that the World Economic Forum (WEF) gives to the coming world government.
However, many pastors today insist that prophetic texts that refer to the restoration of a kingdom for Israel, the tribulation, and Jesus’ future reign are allegory, symbolical of another reality. This discrediting of the words of the Bible, however, is like a loose thread on a knit sweater. If one pulls at it long enough, it unravels the entire sweater.
In my previous post, I showed how the allegorical approach to biblical prophecy opens the doors for dismissing the true intent of other scriptural texts. Just as in the past, the disregard for the words of Scripture not only robs the saints of the joyful anticipation of their “blessed hope,” but also blurs the separation between biblical justification and that of the Roman Catholic Church.
Today, allegorical interpretations of biblical prophecy are again driving the church away from the purity of the Gospel and in effect cancelling the “blessed hope” of Titus 2:13.
But one thing is certain: no one can cancel our blessed hope! Jesus will appear someday to take us home before God judges the Christ-rejecting world.
The polar vortex along with the ice and snowstorms that swept through most of the United States during the past couple weeks tested the electrical grid in our country almost to the breaking point. Even so, millions lost power while a great many others experienced periodic outages.
The severe weather also tested the reliability of renewable energy, which failed when needed the most.
You may wonder why I am again writing in defense of the pretribulation Rapture, the belief that Jesus will come for His church before the start of the seven-year tribulation. I am doing so because we live in a time when many inside and outside the church ridicule our hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing.
How do we answer those who mock the hope we hold so dear?
In this two-part series, I will answer twelve questions that confirm our belief that the New Testament indeed teaches a pretribulation Rapture.
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.
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.
As a child, I loved AWANA and grew up with its motto verse hanging on the wall of my bedroom. It read, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15, KJV).
The Greek word for “rightly dividing” literally means to “cut straight” with the implication of interpreting Scripture accurately.
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.
