The Bible says that the last days would look exactly like what we see all around us today. How can anyone miss how closely world events align with what God prophesied for the days leading up to Jesus’ glorious return to the earth? The many distractions of modern life effectively blind the multitudes, and even most believers, to the multitude of signs pointing to the rapid approach of God’s judgment upon the planet.

God Warns, Calls To Repentance, And Offers Hope—But That Window Doesn’t Stay Open Forever

Let us not be like the man building bigger barns, or the crowds who ignored Noah’s warnings. Let us be like the Bereans—searching the Scriptures daily, receiving the Word eagerly, and living with an urgency rooted in the hope of Christ. Because one day, the door will close. The writing will be on the wall. And it will be too late. But today? Today is still the day of salvation.

Why The Majority Of Churches Do Not Understand What Is Happening In The Middle East

God’s Word, and in particular Bible prophecy, explains the devil’s rage against Israel as manifested through the Iranian leaders. Yet so many believers dismiss prophecy as stale theology, tertiary (of third-rate importance), or irrelevant. If one follows today’s popular doctrinal teachings regarding Israel, he or she will not only miss the why of what’s happening in the Middle East, but also the calming reassurance that comes from recognizing that God remains in control of all things.

Spiritual Warfare Is The Driving Force Behind The Headlines Of Our Day, But Most Of The Church Is Unaware

The devil’s fury against God and His people explains why Israel, since its miraculous rebirth as a nation in 1948, has faced almost constant warfare, terrorism, and repeated threats of impending destruction. He knows how Israel’s existence fits into God’s revealed plans to wrap up human history and inaugurate the millennial kingdom at Jesus’ Second Coming, events that spell his doom.

A Warning And A Blessing: Why We Should Consider It A Great Privilege To Live In Such A Time As This

Many ministries that focus on Bible prophecy are emphasizing the rising darkness and pointing to developments that will come to fruition during the Tribulation—after the Church has been raptured. Other evangelical ministries ignore any warning in their effort to emphasize only the grace and mercy of God—leaving those who reject Jesus’ offer of salvation oblivious that His wrath abides on them (John 3:36).

The Mount Of Olives Is The Best Place To Stand To Get A Bird’s-Eye View Of Bible Prophecy

That day, they had front-row seats to the prophetic drama of God’s plan for the ages. But Jesus had work for them to do, though He never denied that Kingdom restoration will one day occur as the prophets foretold. Jesus gave His disciples the consequential task of being witnesses for Him throughout the world—the same task He has given us.

Passover: Jesus Is The Substance Behind Every Prophetic Shadow

The Scoffers Will One Day Learn… Jesus’ Return Was Not An Empty Promise

The apostle Peter predicted, “Scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming?’” (2 Peter 3:3–4). The word scoffer refers to someone who mocks and makes fun of what they consider to be an empty and ridiculous promise.

The Bible tells us there must be a seven-year period when God again turns His attention to the Jewish people and Jerusalem.

Six Reasons Why Every Christian Should Desire The Soon Return of Jesus

The writings of the early Church Fathers (100 to 300 A.D.) reveal that one of the earliest prayers of the Church was “Maranatha!” (1 Corinthians 16:22). That word is actually an Aramaic phrase that means “Our Lord come!” The Twentieth Century Church seems to have lost that desire.

Jan Markell: The World Is Living On Borrowed Time

When 2024 dawned, now so many months ago, very few could have seen the turmoil that lay ahead. It’s just as well.

He doesn’t orchestrate chaos, but He allows it so that we can have wake-up calls and keep eternity in perspective.

God Doesn’t Lie: The Danger Of ‘Spiritualizing’ Biblical Prophecy

Through the centuries, theologians came across prophecies they either didn’t like or that seemed impossible. So, they would fudge. It’s as if they were thinking, “God goofed up a little here, so I’ll explain it away.” Where His Word makes a plain statement of fact, they would hedge. “It says one thing, but it must mean something else,” they would explain. Bible interpretation loses its integrity when people begin to read into it whatever they want to find.

It’s Not God’s ‘Hatred’ For The Lost World That Drives Bible Prophecy… It’s The Love Of God

It is not the hatred of God for the lost people of this fallen planet that drives prophecy. It is the love of God that powers His prophetic Word. It must be the Christian’s desire, therefore, to study Bible prophecy and put forth those forewarnings out of a spirit of God’s love, not through an anger-filled abhorrence of those who are lost.

Are You Running In The Wrong Direction With Bible Prophecy?

With Bible prophecy, it’s necessary to distinguish between the comings and goings if one is to qualify, in the words of 2 Timothy 2:15, as “rightly dividing the word of truth.” Words matter if we are to avoid running the wrong way when it comes to Bible prophecy (see Proverbs 30:5).
