Jan Markell: Is Israel’s Spiritual Blindness A Reason For Christians To Reject Them?

Ezekiel 36 emphasizes that when the Jews return to the land, they will do so in unbelief. There will be spiritual regeneration much later! The dry bones of Ezekiel 37 reflect a lack of breath or spiritual life. God states he is gathering them back “not for your sake but for my holy name’s sake,” because their presence among the nations caused his name to be profaned. Ezekiel 36 promises that once back in the land, God will cleanse them, give them a new spirit, and cause them to walk in his statutes. But much later.

Removing, Adding, And Twisting: Three Incorrect Approaches To Biblical Prophecy With Disastrous Consequences

All three of these approaches to Bible prophecy are monumentally dangerous (Rev. 22:19). God means what He says, and says what He means. While many venture into these positions out of ignorance, or the blind trust in a particular denomination, we must all understand our responsibility to rightly divide God’s Word, examining it with clarity and discernment. Bible Prophecy was lovingly given by God for a purpose. When we remove it, add to it, and twist it, we are making a significant mistake—one that not only affects our personal understanding, rewards in eternity, and walk with the Lord, but also our witness to the unsaved world.

Two Options Are Laid Before Every Person… And The Stakes Are Eternal

In some situations, the choices seem unlimited. Scripture simplifies our choices down to an either/or, A or B, black or white option: either accept Christ as Savior and Lord OR reject God’s gracious offer of forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life. The choice is yours, but the ramifications are everlasting.

In-Depth: Scripture Is Clear, The World Is Heading Toward The Tribulation

The choice is yours: will you react or respond to God’s holy, righteous judgment? The Scriptures make it clear that a time of final judgment is coming because of sin. All of us have sinned and the wages (payment) for our sin is death: spiritual death (Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23). We deserve punishment, but God longs for a close personal relationship with each of us and has made a way for us to be right with Him through Jesus. Will you pridefully try to save yourself, or will you call on Jesus to rescue you from God’s eternal wrath and bring you into a relationship with Him?

In-Depth: How Will You Respond To The Book of Revelation’s Warning?

In chapter 6, the narrative takes a dramatic turn. As one after another seal is broken, the action in Heaven unleashes a great calamity on Earth. No longer the meek and mild suffering Servant of Isaiah 53, Christ is now the Worthy One who breaks the seals that send forth riders and catastrophes to inflict great suffering on the Earth. This reality alone does not align with the false prophets of prosperity who proclaim that Jesus would never hurt a fly. The image here is of Jesus exercising the will of the Father to pour out judgment on an unrepentant world devoid of Church Age saints who have been swept up at the Rapture.

Why I Am Compelled To Share The Truth Of God’s Word To The ‘Ends Of The Earth’

I am compelled to share the truth of God’s love, compassion and mercy for sinners because I’ve experienced it myself. Ever since I repented of my sins and surrendered my life to Christ more than 50 years ago, I’ve never been able to ignore or escape the personal responsibility for answering the Apostle Paul’s soul-searching questions in the Book of Romans.

Why Revelation Matters: God Alone Can Foretell The Future And He Does So With 100 Percent Accuracy

Revelation reveals and reaffirms many of the great doctrines of Scripture. Revelation is theologically thick. It displays the sovereignty and holiness of God. It teaches us that God is in control, that He has a plan that He is bringing to fulfillment. It reveals that God alone can foretell the future and that He does so with 100 percent accuracy.

The Spread Of The Gospel During The World’s Darkest Hour

For those who hold a Biblical worldview, it is obvious that mankind’s darkest hour will soon fall upon the world. I speak, of course, of the Tribulation Period. Although God’s undiluted wrath will be poured out upon the earth, what we also bear witness to in the Scriptures is the fact that He will also shine His glorious light on the world as His message of the impending Millennial Kingdom is shared to all people.

Behind The Headlines, The Gospel Is Spreading Into Every Corner Of The Earth With Its Message Of Triumph

As you know, the leaders of Iran adhere to an apocalyptic form of Islam, and they’re doing everything possible to discourage this revival. Anyone suspected of being a Christian is arrested or oppressed. But do you know what’s happening? Plans are unfolding for Billy Graham to preach in Iran! Yes, Dr. Graham’s sermons are being dubbed into Farsi and broadcast into the country. It’s believed his sermons will reach over twenty million Iranians in the safety of their own homes.

The Future That Awaits The Middle East: The Superhighway Of The Millennial Kingdom

Although the Middle East is currently engulfed in war, the superhighway of Isaiah 19 reminds us that in that future time when Jesus rules and reigns as King from Jerusalem, not only will Jew and Arab peacefully co-exist, but they will also worship the true and living God together. This is a powerful reminder of the sovereign work of God, who alone has the power to transform regions of despair into places of worship, honour, and praise. Although the Western world currently likes to speak about normalisation between Israel and Arab countries in this age, true normalisation will only come when all nations recognise that the God of Israel is the true and living God.

Franklin Graham: Misinterpreting God’s Timeless Promises To The Nation Of Israel And The Jewish People

I’ve been troubled by the increasing number of churches and Bible teachers who are misinterpreting God’s timeless promises to the nation of Israel and the Jewish people. This false teaching, called replacement theology, suggests that God’s covenant blessing with the nation of Israel and its allies no longer exists and instead has somehow been reinterpreted to apply only to God’s modern-day fellowship of believers, His church. Nevertheless, a faithful reading of Scripture proves unequivocally that God’s covenant with Abram in Genesis 12:2-3 remains true as ever today

Never Before Has The Word Of God Been So Readily Available… And Neglected

Copies of God’s Word are exceedingly plentiful. Most of us have several Bibles lying around our houses. We can access any Scripture verse from our phones in an instant. We have a privilege that so many believers throughout history could only dream of: holding God’s Word in our hands and reading it regularly. And yet, we frequently neglect this privilege.

How Will Israel Change When Jesus Inaugurates The Millennial Kingdom?

When the Jewish people joyfully acknowledge Jesus as King and He reigns during the Millennial Kingdom, gladness will replace groaning and rejoicing will replace rejection. Enemies will no longer threaten His people, nor will disaster ever strike the nation again. In fact, not only will the remnant rejoice over God but God will rejoice over the remnant.

Jan Markell: The Last 100 Years Of Falling For Leftists Has Prepared The Jewish People For Great Deception

More than once, I have written about the mystery of Jews who seem to support their own demise by voting with, and standing by, those who hate them. Many Jews voted for two anti-Semites – Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. No two U.S. Presidents did more damage to Israel than these men – yet they got the Jewish vote by and large. I have watched my own Jewish family members who are unbelievers vote Democrat repeatedly and have no explanation for it.

St. Patrick Day Is Not About Luck, It’s About The Power Of The Gospel

You know, a lot of people think of St. Patrick’s Day as just a day for parades, wearing green, and maybe eating some corned beef and cabbage. But the real story of St. Patrick is incredible; there’s actually a spiritual meaning behind St. Patrick’s Day. He wasn’t even Irish—he was actually kidnapped as a teenager and taken to Ireland as a slave. But instead of becoming bitter, he turned to Christ. And after escaping, God called him back to Ireland to bring the gospel to a pagan nation.

Behold, God’s Plan Of Redemption And The Future Reign Of Jesus Christ

In the modern day, we don’t often use the word “behold,” but it is a word that is used repeatedly in the Bible. In fact, between Genesis and Revelation, it is used over 1,000 times, and it functions like a literary finger, drawing specific attention to a person, thing, or situation. As we approach the season during which we remember the death, burial, and resurrection of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, let us take a moment to reflect on what God would have us behold in the Scriptures as it concerns His plan of redemption for mankind and the future reign of Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords.

Roll Your Eyes All You Want… The Rapture Is Real

Is the Rapture real? There’s always debate around this topic. Let’s start with the obvious: the Rapture sounds crazy. Jesus descends from Heaven, dead people rise from their graves, and living believers are suddenly caught up into the sky—like the world’s strangest episode of “Stranger Things.” Sounds like the stuff your uncle mutters about after three cups of church coffee. Except—the Rapture is right there in Scripture. Paul says it. John says it. Jesus says it.

An Analysis Of Jeremiah’s Elam Prophecy: Currently Unfolding Or Fulfilled In history?

The nation of Elam ceased to exist when it was attacked and absorbed into the Babylonian Empire. It became a province of that empire. It subsequently continued as a province, and not an independent nation, when it became part of the Persian, Greek, and Roman empires. Today, it is a province of Iran. Jeremiah’s prophecy says it will be shattered when it exists as a nation (verse 37). That occurred long ago.

In-Depth: Our Works Tried By Fire — Understanding The Judgment Seat of Christ

Even as Christians, our works will be tried before God, and He will reveal whether we have acquired gold, silver, and precious stones, or whether we've been building and living for wood, hay, and stubble. All the temporal, worthless works will be burned up and reduced to ash.

Jan Markell: Ten Prominent Markers Of Jesus’ Soon Return

A common question in the prophecy community as to our times is, “Why are we still here?” It’s a good question. With the rapid convergence of so many last days’ signs, we should be filled with hopeful expectation of Jesus’ return. In 2026, watch the following. They are just ten prominent markers as to how late it is.

Outdated?: Tucker Carlson Jokes That The Old Testament Should Be Rewritten

In his quest to discredit Israel as God’s chosen nation, Tucker Carlson recently joked that the Old Testament should be updated and rewritten. Because of podcasters like Tucker, Israel—ethnically, theologically, and politically—has become part of a larger debate in the media on U.S. foreign policy. Therefore, the Old Testament is frequently targeted because of Israel’s central role in it. But what does God’s Word plainly say about the Old Testament?

The Israel Test: A Revealing And Dividing Line In The Modern Church

We all watched as believers, churches and denominations dealt with the COVID pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, the movement to redefine gender and sexuality, and then the DEI movement. And yet, we’re seeing an even bigger test today—what I would call The Israel Test—to reveal what we really believe about what I regard as clear Biblical teaching. I am, of course, talking about the replacement theology movement that has surfaced yet again.

From Ancient Persia To Modern Iran: Examining Today’s War Through The Lens Of The Book Of Esther

As Israel observes the feast of Purim, the barrages of Iranian missiles underscore the Jewish people's resilience in a whole new light. As Jews worldwide gather to eat hamantaschen and read the book of Esther for the feast of Purim, Israeli soldiers remain at their posts from Gaza to the North. Israeli civilians walk in fear, as a rain of missiles launch from the same geographical location at the center of the epic story detailed in the book of Esther.

The Blessed Hope: Why the Rapture Should Be Every Christian’s Ultimate Anticipation

It is almost unimaginable to think of a bride who would be apathetic about her impending wedding. And yet, many in the Bride of Christ seem unconcerned and indifferent about the joy that awaits when our Bridegroom comes to snatch us away, gathering us to Himself in the blink of an eye. Oh, what a joy-filled day that will be! But that is only the beginning of the glories and joys that await us according to Bible prophecy.

Is Bible Prophecy Irrelevant To Our Walk With God?

Only the study of what God has told us about that coming day, and the events around and contributing to it, can reinforce our hope in such a powerful way. We need to study what He’s told us is to come. It’s heartbreaking to think that God gave us these beautiful depictions of our hope revealed and we might simply ignore them, for fear that they might make us unpopular, or because they seem too divisive.

Replacement Theology’s Gospel Repellent Vs The Jews Most Unflinching Friends

As ambassadors for Christ, many self-proclaimed Christians have delivered the Jewish people a false version of Jesus, stripping Him of His Jewishness and representing Him as someone who despises and rejects them. Consequently, the name of Jesus has become an offence to many Jewish ears. Here also lies the immeasurable benefit of rightly interpreting God's Word: a proper representation of Jesus' profound love for the Jewish people draws individual Jews toward the Gospel.

Christ Could Return At Any Time And People Have A Choice: Get Right… Or Get Left

In a single moment in time, you can make a decision that affects your entire life. The most important decision of all is Jesus Christ – whether you accept him or reject him. The biggest decision of all is what you do with Jesus Christ. A lot is at stake. I really believe that Jesus is coming back. He could return today, tonight, or tomorrow. Will you be ready? Get right with God. Get right … or get left.

When A Nation Forgets That Liberty Is Meant For Service To God, It Loses The Purpose Of Freedom

Exodus confronts every generation with the same call. God delivers people not to independence from Him, but obedience to Him. When a nation forgets that freedom is meant for service to God, it loses the purpose of freedom — and soon, the freedom itself. The words still echo: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.” The future of our liberty depends on whether we remember the second half of that sentence.

Politics And The Church: The Stunning Biblical Backing For Christian Influence On Government

Influencing government for good on the basis of the wisdom found in God’s own words is a theme that runs through the entire Bible. Try to imagine what a nation and its government would be like if all Christian influence on government were suddenly removed—if all the churches and all the Christians in a society stopped seeking to have any kind of influence on laws or on government. Within a few years, most people would have no moral authority beyond that of individual human opinion. How could a nation find any moral guidance?

Markell: Why I Am Paying Close Attention To President Trump’s ‘Board Of Peace’

President Trump will serve as chairman and wield considerable overall control. It will help resolve conflicts globally. He has the sole authority to invite new members and appoint a successor. Global peace seems to be their goal, though they will participate in other global duties as well. The immediate focus of the Board of Peace will be Gaza, though there was no word about Gaza in the charter. A lot of Godless people seem to be in charge, such as Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, and almost 60 more movers and shakers. Most have a worldly view of the world and of “peace.”

The ‘Broad’ Crisis Facing Christian Media

It's not a shocking statement to say that our world has a media problem. Bias, ideology, and lawless journalistic standards have brought the average person's trust in the media to an all-time low. While this problem is most prominent within secular circles, Christian media has a crisis of its own, and it's rooted in compromise. Many of these organizations were once sound—but a little compromise compromised the whole publication! Numerous newsgroups operating under a "Christian" banner have begun promoting abortion, attacking Israel, applauding LGBT ideology, and disseminating apostasy.

With A Survey Of God’s Commandments, We Quickly Realize Our Need For National Repentance

I applaud states such as Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana, which are currently waging court battles to defend their laws requiring that the Ten Commandments be on display in public schools. When I was in grade school, this was common practice. But that was before our public schools expelled common sense from the classroom and forgot that boys are male and girls are female. Survey God’s list of do’s and don’ts in Exodus 20, and we quickly realize our need for repentance.

In An Ever Darkening World, We Can Find Solace In Bible Prophecy

The bright side of the growing evil in the world is that it is a sure sign that we are living in the season of the Lord’s return. If you will check Genesis 6, you will find that Noah’s society was characterized by violence and immorality. This is the reason that the great pastor, Adrian Rogers (1931-2005), once said, “The world is growing gloriously dark.” How can the acceleration of evil be considered “glorious”? Because it is a sign of the imminent return of Jesus.

In The Midst Of Perilous Times, Remember The Blessings That Flow From Our Hope

Our hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing is truly a light shining in a dark place (2 Peter 2:19), and as such, it enables us to escape the delusion that this life matters more than eternity. It’s this anticipation that increasingly draws the longings of our hearts heavenward in the midst of the perilous and confusing times in which we live.

A Battleground: When You Come To Salvation, You Inherit An Enemy

When I asked Jesus to come into my life in July of 1973, I experienced a deep joy and peace. I felt as though a burden had been lifted from me. But I soon learned that I had also inherited His enemy. I discovered the Christian walk includes both abundant life and abundant warfare. I had peace deep within, but at the same time, a battle. The Prince of Darkness, whom I had once followed, now hated my new Friend, so he turned his attention to me.

Moses: A Foreshadow Of The Ultimate Deliverer, Jesus Christ

As great as Moses was, though, God told him that another leader of Israel would come, one like Moses. “I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him” (Deuteronomy 18:18). Although many prophets succeeded Moses, no one was as great as he (34:10). No one, that is, until the Lord Jesus Christ.

A Rejoicing Shepherd: What Makes God Happy According to the Bible?

Jesus compared Himself to a shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to find one stray sheep—and comes home rejoicing: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?” (Luke 15:4). That’s how much we matter to Him.

Every Christian Is Called to Evangelize

Coming back to Billy Graham. I once asked him, “If an older Billy could speak to a younger Billy, what would you say to yourself? What would you tell yourself to preach more on?” And he said, “I would say preach on the cross of Christ and the blood because that’s where the power is.” I think what’s true of preaching is also true of one-on-one evangelism. The power of the gospel is when you get to the message of the death of Jesus for them and why they need their sin forgiven.

America At The Crossroads: Are We A Nation That God Will Still Bless?

In just a few weeks, the United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It is undeniable that God has blessed this nation richly throughout its history, and it is no coincidence that His blessings followed a founding that was based in large part on principles from God’s Word. The following articles outline the thinking of the Founding Fathers, the Great Awakenings that played a major role in shaping the nation, and the crossroads at which we find ourselves today. Are we a nation that God will still bless?

The Roots of Pride: Celebrating Rebellion Against God

At the heart of Pride Month and Pride celebrations throughout the year is pride. Pride comes from a rebellious heart that rejects the benevolent authority of the Creator. A proud person ultimately claims to know better than God and his Word and believes that inventing our own rules and celebrating our own choices, achievements, and desires is greater than what God has commanded in his Word. It’s a movement that puts the focus squarely on us rather than on God.

Artificial Intelligence

Should Christians Openly Invite Artificial Intelligence Into Their Daily Spiritual Walk?

Earlier this year, Barna Group (in partnership with Gloo) released new research which focused on the trends emerging in the field of faith and AI. That research revealed that nearly one in three U.S. adults – with the figure sitting at two in five among Gen Z and Millennials — say spiritual advice from AI is as trustworthy as advice from a pastor. My concern is that the worrying dependence upon AI for spiritual guidance will lead to people being tossed to and fro as the available data is changed. If you are going to outsource your Biblical worldview to data that is subject to change and manipulation, you are weakening your dependence on the Word of God and increasing your dependence on data which can be faulty.
