“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.”  – Matthew 24:14 I was reading an article about Anne Graham Lotz’s eulogy for her father’s, Billy Graham, funeral.  The article said that Anne had found that the day Billy died was on a day that the Jews remembered Moses’ death – February 21.  She said that it could…

“But the one who endures to the end, he shall be saved.” – Matthew 24:13 This post is a companion piece to the previous post “Two Gospels“. After finishing the previous post, I looked a little longer at Matthew 24 and realized it is important to dig further into the context to better understand what Jesus is talking about with regard to “this gospel of the kingdom” in verse 14. What I have…

“But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.” – Daniel 12:4 You hear about this one all the time – in the last days people will be traveling all over the world because of jet airliners.  Also, because of technology (meaning internet), knowledge is going to increase exponentially.   This is how…

Recently I watched a video by a pastor by the name of Dean Odle.  He was teaching on a subject I was interested in hearing about.  At the outset of his teaching he laid out 4 principles of proper Bible interpretation.  In a nutshell, those principles are reading the Bible literally unless it’s clear that a passage is metaphorical or allegorical; context; grammar and historicity.  I was encouraged…

In my previous post I dispensed of the notion that the restrainer (2 Thess. 2:6-7) is the archangel Michael, as many incorrectly believe.  Daniel 12:1 is the only Scripture reference that I know of that is used to support that contention.  So, who or what is it?   Of all the other possibilities the only one that makes sense, considering all the requirements of restraining the evil one, is the…

“And unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short.”  Matthew 24:22 “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.”  Matthew 24:24 “And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect…

“Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.  2. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.  3. While they are saying, ‘Peace and safety!’, then destruction will come upon them suddenly like birth pangs upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.  4. But you, brethren are not in…

The Day Jesus Will Return

Did you know that the Bible reveals the day Jesus will set foot on earth again? In my new book just released, you will also discover… Who or what is the Restrainer?Is there really a great falling away from faith by the Church before Jesus returns?When does Armageddon take place? Are travel and technology really last days prophecies? Who are the elect?What it means to ‘endure to the end’.What is…

“I am Doing Something in Your Days That You Would Not Believe if You Were Told”

“Look among the nations!  Observe!  Be astonished!  Wonder!  Because I am doing something in your days – you would not believe if you were told.”  Habakkuk 1:5 “For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay.  But My righteous one shall live by faith; and if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”  Hebrews 10:37-38 (quoting Habakkuk 2:3-4)

I thought about…

“But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.”  Matthew 24:8

Wow, there is a lot of talk about the birth pangs these days.  A lot of Christian are saying that we are seeing them – earthquakes, wars and rumors of wars (although not so much lately), pestilence. 

Are we really experiencing the events that Jesus, Paul and John prophesied?   No, we are not.

We are not seeing the…

A Day’s Wage for a Loaf of Bread

“When He opened the the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, ‘Come’.  And I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand.  And I heard as it were a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, ‘A quart of wheat for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”  Revelation 6:6

The verse above is the description of the…

“For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and deep darkness the peoples;”  Isaiah 60:2

I think of this verse as I consider what is happening in the U.S. and the world.  I believe this ‘virus’ situation is a diabolical, sinister deception.  There is something brewing, something coming.  People are being hoodwinked. 

What is the deception?  The deception is that if we don’t keep everyone from…

“You shall thus consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release through the land to all its inhabitants.  It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.”

What I’m going to share here is a possibility.  Just some thoughts.  But, pretty exciting thoughts, nonetheless.

I am going to make the case that Jesus will…

“Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name; lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”  Genesis 11:4

The story of the tower of Babel has always puzzled me. 

Why would God be concerned about a bunch of people building a structure to reach the heavens?

Usually the interpretation of the passage…
