It is very rare in the bible that we read a future event that has been prophesied that is fulfilled immediately, usually there is a beginning, middle and end to the arc of it as it comes to pass. The Day of the Lord is a single Day, yes, but it is also a period of time starting with the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church and ending with the Great White Throne Judgment, all of that is the day of the Lord. The rise of Antichrist has an arc, as well. I am here to tell you that arc has...

The Bible reveals that Satan's final game plan is for the entire world to worship him by taking a mark (greek: Charagma = imprinted mark in) on their being. Similar to the Bible’s account of Satan coming to Jesus Christ in Luke 4, Satan offers "the world" to people if they will bow down and worship him. We should not be surprised when we read stories about celebrities, world leaders, and elites being involved in Satanic rituals (e.g. spirit cooking, Epstein's Island, Hillary's seances, etc.) Satan promotes people if his demands for worship are met. In the end, he gets...

Dear friends, Bible speaks very clearly of these Last Days and testifies to this fallen world what the social conditions will be before Christ's return (Romans 10:2-4, 1 Tim. 3:1-7,2 Tim. 4:1-3, Jude, 1:10, Rev. 3:14-22). At present, today's secular progressive movement is being EXPONENTIALLY stoked by the super fallen intelligences of fallen angels (i.e., demons) while dominating and influencing the entire world via the supra 24/7 mediums of this global high tech day! These angelic fallen ones are setting the stage and preparing today's world for Lucifer's lawless minion and the global worship of godlessness and lawlessness; Satan himself...

A reader recently e-mailed me Hal Lindsey’s quote, “The coming of the Lord is at hand” (James 5:8). This great prophecy teacher pointed out that “at hand” does not mean that the Rapture would happen in the next few years (although it could have). “At hand” means the Rapture will happen at any time and without warning. “At hand” is an admonition for everyone in every generation to be ready to go at any moment, all the time. There is a lot of misunderstanding about this issue. God told Adam if he ate of the fruit of the tree of...

Dear friends, do you have ears to hear during this time of isolation and confinement under the Coronavirus (Isa. 55:7; 59:7-8; 65:2, Matt. 13; Rev. 3:20; 22:17, 20)? The way to see today properly and in perspective is to see things from today's biblical - Laodicean church age - ETERNAL perspective (Rev. 3:14-21)! In light of the Coronavirus; Almighty God is seeking to get us to slow way down and listen to His still small voice, which is found in His Holy Word (Acts 17:24-31; Rev. 3:20; 22:17, 20). We as a nation and world have been moving at EXPONENTIAL...

The technocrats are talking about giving people a chip - once they've been vaccinated for the CCP virus, or otherwise proven their immunity and state of non-contagion - so that anyone with the right scanner can easily see that interacting with them is “safe.” Sounds like a great idea, doesn't it? But think about it. Even if you don't care about personal freedom, don't respect concerns for societal liberty. Just think about this a moment. The CCP virus is just the flavor of the month. It's the terrible risk of 2020, the big thing this year. In past years, we...

Author, theologian, and preacher John Piper released a new book on Wednesday called Coronavirus and Christ, which offers biblical answers and hope amid the present COVID-19 pandemic. "In the midst of this fear and uncertainty, it is natural to wonder what God is doing," Piper said on his ministry's website. The book's description says: In Coronavirus and Christ, John Piper invites readers around the world to stand on the solid Rock, who is Jesus Christ, in whom our souls can be sustained by the sovereign God who ordains, governs, and reigns over all things to accomplish his wise and good...

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. ( 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2)The apostle Paul is trying to comfort a new church, which had received supposed correspondence from Paul, saying that they were already experiencing the “Day of Christ”. It all seemed plausible to them, because they had endured an intense persecution from the very beginning of...

I'm not saying it's today (the end times) - but we are living at the end of the church age (IMHO). Yes, ever since the fathers fell asleep all things continue as they were. I already know that's coming, LOL. Not all may believe this. YMMV. Oh well. I was trying to find the show I saw today (many of them are repeat broadcasts so yes, this one is from last year). Today's show (not sure this is it) he talked about the men of Sodom trying to rape the angels of God. They wanted to rape them. In today's...

During a CNN town hall in Nevada, Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is asked if he'd accept money from Michael Bloomberg, discussed his views on Christianity, and responded to president Trump's support of conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh's attack on Buttigieg's sexuality. ...

Around the world, more than 260 million Christians—one of every eight believers—experience high levels of persecution, just for following Jesus. For the past 28 years, the Open Doors World Watch List has offered a global indicator of countries where human and religious rights are being violated, and those countries most vulnerable to societal unrest and destabilization. During the 2020 World Watch List [https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/the-countries-where-its-most-dangerous-to-be-a-christian-in-2020/] reporting period, in the top 50 countries, a total of 9,488 churches or Christian buildings were attacked; 3,711 Christians were detained without trial, arrested, sentenced and imprisoned; and 2,983 Christians were killed for faith-related reasons. On average,...

Atheist Philosopher Rebukes Pope Francis Marcello Pera accuses pontiff of betraying doctrine, tradition ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - Italy's leading philosopher and close friend of Pope Benedict XVI is lambasting Pope Francis for "openly going against tradition, doctrine and introducing inexplicable innovations, behaviors and gestures." Professor Marcello Pera, an atheist and a vocal opponent of postmodernism and cultural relativism, called the Francis pontificate "a scandal in the biblical sense," as "it confuses and makes the faithful fall, it does not bear fruit, and on the contrary, it diminishes them."  As for the foundations of Catholicism, this pontificate is an outrage to reason.Tweet Vocations and Mass attendance have dropped, fundraising is...

President Nixon, in his last official address, left a cryptic warning of the Middle East "...so that the cradle of civilization will not become its grave." The "cradle of civilization" is the Mesopotamian Valley, also called "the fertile crescent." The Fertile Crescent begins south of Mount Ararat, the traditional resting site of Noah's Ark, and continues south to the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. This area later became the lands of: Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Lebanon, Cyprus, Jordan, Egypt, Israel, Syria, and Assyria. Assyria is mentioned in the Book of Genesis, where it describes the location of the Garden...

A great video with great biblical insight provided by Zola Levitt Ministries and Mark Musser on today's green neo-Baalism! The history of it pertaining to Gia, to the Baal cult in ancient Israel and that of the Nazis leading to today's green movement. It's about an hour and its good insightful watching!

And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me, and having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands, [One] like a Son of Man, clothed to the foot, and having been girded around at the breasts with a golden girdle, and His head and hairs [were] white, as if white wool—as snow, and His eyes as a flame of fire; and His feet like to frankincense-colored brass, as having been fired in a furnace, and His voice as a sound of many waters; and having seven stars in His right hand,...

Today, I’m a super proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, but the journey to get here wasn’t easy. I was outed at school by someone I’d trusted as a friend before I was ready to tell my own story. It was a really vulnerable time for me, and I felt ashamed to be myself even in the fairly progressive area where I live. I spent a lot of time with these feelings, thinking really deeply about why I had so much fear about coming out. I felt different and marginalized, whereas before, I’d never felt anything but “normal.” It...

Dear Mr. Zuckerberg. Your company made big headlines when it announced it would be launching a cryptocurrency called the Libra in 2020. Not surprisingly, given the nature of the times, the project has been greeted with intense criticism and skepticism. Don’t lose heart. In one sense, the idea of a company creating its own kind of money is an old one. The airlines’ frequent-flier miles are really a form of money that customers can earn and use to buy trips and various other things. Credit card companies, hotels and numerous retailers have all sorts of loyalty programs in which people...

FULL TITLE: 'I think we're very close': Freed pastor Andrew Brunson urges young American Christians to prepare for persecution The American pastor whose two-year imprisonment plunged Turkey into a diplomatic feud with the United States urged young Christians in his home country to prepare for the persecution he sees gathering for them on the horizon. Pastor Andrew Brunson, 51, told the Washington Examiner how troubled he has been by the ominous trends he has observed in American culture during the year since his dramatic, high-stakes release from a Turkish prison. Drawing on the ordeal he recounts in God's Hostage, his...
