From the attack in Syria that killed multiple high-level Iranian personnel to the looming war with Hezbollah in the north to the imminent invasion of the IDF into Rafah in the Gaza Strip, the tension has reached unprecedented levels. If that’s not enough, Israel is making preparations for a potential and imminent confrontation with Iran in the days ahead.

Israel's recent airstrike upon an Iranian government consulate building and the elimination of several high-ranking members of The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and diplomatic support staff is the excuse Iran needed to come out into the open and attack Israel either from Iranian soil or through Iran's proxies in primarily Lebanon, Syria, or both.

According to whistleblowers and outraged parents, children as young as 13 in a South Australia school were forcibly taught about sexual activities with animals as part of a “queer” LGBTQIA+ “sex education” class. The revelations drew outrage from parents and half-hearted apologies from “education” officials. 

If God had left prophecies out of His Word, we would have no idea of what the future holds. Instead, all we would know is that the world we live in is descending deeper and deeper into darkness, evil, and hopelessness.

“The law seems to be designed to stop free speech and impose the LGBTQ agenda on all of Scotland,” Franklin Graham posted on Facebook. On April 1, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Scottish Parliament to protest the law and its potential effects on free speech.

The Wannsee Conference had 15 attendees. Over half of the fifteen held doctorates. Most had also studied law. All fifteen were professing Christians. Because of their presence at Wannsee, all played their part in the extermination of the Jews, whether directly or indirectly. 

It is critical that we understand up front that this final book in the canon of God’s Word is not merely the fanciful and imaginative vision of John the Apostle. The very first verse in the book establishes that it is “The Revelation of Jesus Christ.”

America's greatness has been undergirded from the beginning by our Judeo-Christian moral foundation. The Mayflower Compact, which the Pilgrims landed with in 1620 in Plymouth, states: "Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and the advancement of the Christian faith ...." DeTocqueville, at the time of the American Revolution, attributed America's greatness to the American pulpits "aflame with righteousness."

In spite of the long wait and scoffing that comes my way, I remain convinced that imminency is not only incredibly important for today, but also an essential aspect of our walk with the Savior.

The nations of planet earth are presently engaged in a deadly game of brinksmanship. It’s happening on every continent.

For those who know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, it is easy to become discouraged and overwhelmed by how rapidly this world is “slouching towards Gomorrah,” as Robert Bork famously put it. Indeed, it seems like the church is fighting an uphill battle with no end in sight.

Today, spiritually speaking, we also see winds blowing.  Perhaps we feel victimised by them, particularly if those winds are blowing believers into the fires of persecution, suffering and evil.  But just as the ancient sailor waited for his “opportunity”, what if this is ours?

We are seeing a landslide of new anti-God days and times while, at the same time, the reduction and even elimination of religious holidays on our calendar. All of this points toward the coming of the Antichrist.

The organisation’s lawyers argue that they can’t employ someone like Felix because his views on sex and gender might ‘damage’ the mental health of people identifying as LGBTQ+. They take their argument to the extreme when they assert that those identifying as LGBTQ+ might kill themselves if they discover [an employee] is a Christian.

We know from history that when a nation curses God's chosen people, God will curse that nation, just as He did with the ancient Egyptians, ancient Assyrians, Babylonians, ancient Greece, Rome, and the Third Reich. Where are all those ancient empires that came against God's chosen people?

Yes, there is the war in Gaza, the constant skirmishing with Lebanon and Syria, and the indirect conflict with Iran through its proxies. The other war, however, did not begin on October 7. This is a spiritual battle for the legitimacy of the Jewish people and, since 1948, the State of Israel.

Post-modernism has also added a challenge to debunking conspiracy theories since truth has become relative in many people's minds.  As a result, we are seeing an exponential increase in global antisemitism, and once again, the Jewish people are paying a high price as the ultimate scapegoats of humanity. 

In the latest obvious attack on God, believers, and the biblical worldview, the Biden Democrats used a high-profile opportunity to offend Christians. Days before Easter, they banned religious (read “Christian”) images at the White House and also declared March 31 (Resurrection Sunday) the “Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Some jurisdictions such as Washington, D.C., have rates as high as 60 percent of students chronically absent, according to news reports. At the federal level, the Biden White House announced an “all-hands-on-deck approach” to getting children back into regular attendance at their indoctrination centers.

“We live in a culture that views any kind of authoritative hierarchical structure as being inherently oppressive. In our culture, it’s considered virtuous to identify what your deepest desires are and then make those desires your actual identity. So, in other words, culture would say, ‘I am who I feel I am.’”

In many churches, the Bible is simply taught as a book of good morals, or even worse, as positive reinforcement for not being “judgmental.” Like King Jehoiakim in Jeremiah 36:20–26, many church leaders have no qualms about cutting up the Word of God and throwing it into the fire if they don’t like its message.

“The Bible says, ‘…they proclaim their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them!’ (Isaiah 3:9). Judgment is coming,” he added. “Instead of celebrating sin, we need to confess our sins, repent of our sins, and ask for God’s forgiveness.”

"[The] saddest and most concerning, in my opinion, is the poison that is spreading in churches across the U.S., which makes a distinction between Israel today and the Israel of the Bible. A growing number of church-goers, mostly in the evangelical camp, are questioning modern Israel's right to exist and to defend itself."

Our nation, once a stronghold of Biblical truth, has strayed so far. Abortion, same-sex marriage and other wicked practices have spread through the culture like wildfire. Sometimes, I hardly recognize the country that I grew up in. We have failed as a nation when it comes to standing on Biblical truth.  

Pulpits far too often remain silent regarding the implications of Jesus’ resurrection for us as believers. I have heard many Gospel presentations that end with the certainty of God’s forgiveness of our sins, which is essential, but contain no reference to eternal life.

The evidential nature of Christianity provided it with a unique advantage. The resurrection, locked in the timeline of history and documented by eyewitnesses, distinguished Christianity from every first-century religious claim in the Roman Empire, and continues to do so today. 

We have a real hatred in our country and around the world for Israel and the Jewish people, and I'm going to simply ask you: On what side do you want to be found? God is crystal clear in Genesis 12:3 that He will "bless those that bless" the Jewish people and "curse those that curse" them.

I have called it, “The week that changed the world.” The events of holy week should be contemplated often by every follower of Christ. It began with Palm Sunday as Jesus publicly presented Himself as Messiah. The week concluded with His resurrection.

Hebrews 12:2 says, "Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame." Who, getting crucified, has any joy? Jesus did—He had a certain joy that enabled Him to endure that horrible, ignominious death. And you, reading this, are the joy that was set before Him.
