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.

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] 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."

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 remnant church may be hated by the world and disliked by Laodicean-era churches, but God has a distinct purpose for them.

We as Christians will persevere in the darkest of times, but the America we know will not survive without the Judeo-Christian pillars that our Founding Fathers knew.

There are also signs within the church that things are wrapping up, and, sadly, they are negative. The Bible does not say there will be a huge revival or global Great Awakening prior to the rapture. As a matter of fact, it says the opposite will be taking place.

Over the past few years, I have noticed an underlying current in teachings that deny what the Bible says about the Rapture, the seven-year Tribulation, and Jesus’ thousand-year reign. They greatly diminish the magnificence of Jesus’ role in end time events.

Spiritual leaders are “watchmen” who must be awake to the dangers that threaten God’s people.  The watchman’s task was not confined to mere observation, but extended to sounding the alarm, alerting the inhabitants of a city to the imminent danger they faced.

Sadly, today there are many who claim to follow Christ but deny the reality of Bible prophecy. Regarding God’s prophetic Word, if Satan were to ask, “Did God really say?” they would essentially respond, “I don’t know, and I really don’t care.”

No matter which generation we’re sharing the gospel with, the message does not change. The gospel that the apostles delivered in the first century is still the one being shared today.

I have watched Bible prophecy attacked, scorned, mocked, criticized, and improperly taught for a lot of years. There has been overwhelming confusion about the last days. Again, that is predicted, so no surprise (II Peter 3:3–7).

Now, amillennialists have said, "The kingdom is right now. There is no literal kingdom; it's a spiritual kingdom. God is ruling and reigning right now in the church and over the hearts of His people." But if this is the kingdom, that means Satan should be bound. Have you looked around at the world? Does it seem like Satan is bound? Because if he is, it's not a very good binding.

Much like a quarterback suddenly tackled from behind by a player from the opposing side, the claim that God has rejected Israel and replaced the nation with the church represents a blindside attack on the integrity of Scripture.

Pope Francis has spoken at the White House, Congress, and the U.N. pushing climate change and “sustainable development” which is again all about global government! One has to wonder where he fits the gospel into his agenda. It doesn’t appear as though it does. One writer calls him a “wolf in Pope’s clothing.”

The term "Christian Zionist" came into being in the mid-20th century. Before that, 70-80 years ago, it was known as "Christian restorationism" and had been since 16th century England. These were groups of people who believed that the Jewish people had a right to their ancient homeland being restored.

With the benefit of a completed revelation from the whole New Testament, including all the epistles and the book of Revelation, we know that there are two stages: the rapture and the second coming. And we're dealing with the first phase.

One of the great injustices brought to bear on believers through the preaching of the prosperity gospel is their belief that the true Christian ideal is to be happy and prosperous. No - the true Christian ideal is to be holy.

New believers, then and now, like to make their own religious system by approaching religion as a buffet: you pick and choose the things you want from many choices. "I'd like a large helping of Eastern philosophy and a small order of Christianity, hold the guilt."

By right of creation, God owns the world. By right of selection, God owns the land of Israel. And He can give it to anybody He wants to. He gave it to Abraham and his descendants...

Although prophecy constitutes almost one-third of the Bible, its importance is constantly downplayed by those who dismiss it as having no practical significance or by those who object to it on the grounds that it is a “fad” that takes people’s eyes off Jesus.

Satan has been convincing people that what God says is not true ever since there were only two people in existence. Only now he has his agents to incorporate into his strategy; ones whom the Bible says will grow worse and worse as time progresses in their efforts to deceive.

People are now tired of the silence of the shepherds. Perhaps this is the next big church divider. Churches will either be for Israel, or against her. Which side will you be on?

Those who claim that Jesus now reigns over the nations by implication tell us that He now rules over a world filled with wars, violence, and unending ethnic strife. Such a belief not only contradicts what the Bible says about the character of the Savior’s realm, but also dishonors His glorious Name to no small extent.

The way to bring people to Christ is not to water down biblical truth or adopt a supposedly “Christianized” version of the thinking of our day.

As a former pastor, I grieve because of what’s happening in many churches. The silence of shepherds keeps many saints in the dark regarding what lies behind current world events and diverts their attention to temporal things away from their glorious “blessed hope” in Jesus’ appearing.

Compromise that results in reversing someone’s foundational philosophical or moral principles can have catastrophic consequences for a person and/or society over time.

While we see things advancing toward Antichrist’s regime at an amazing and frightening pace, the globalists, such as author of the book, The Great Reset, see things as being slowed and inhibited by forces they must eliminate. That is, they must eliminate those like us...
