This is a brief overview and comparison of the pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, pre-wrath, and post-tribulation rapture views. This article will not argue the pros and cons of the different views, but simply gives a very brief summary of each. These four major rapture beliefs have a relatively specific rapture point, during the 70th week of Daniel (Daniel 9:24-27), which is unfolded in the events of the 7 seals, 7 trumpets, and 7 bowls (Revelation chapters 4-19). We will look at the 70th week timing of each rapture theory to get a better understanding of them. PRE-TRIBULATION The pre-tribulation view places the...

I had a chat with a friend this morning and in the course of the chat he mentioned how China has been quietly building up its forces in Shenyang province, which is adjacent to Russia and North Korea. He says the unusual thing is that the troops and equipment are not being moved into existing military bases but instead into so-called "Ghost Cities" like the Hunnan Xin district of Shenyang City. He says he first noticed this about two months ago when a number of empty buildings started to have lights in them at night and he could see military...

Crews of burglars publicly smashing their way into Los Angeles’ most exclusive stores. Robbers following their victims, including a star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and a BET host, to their residences. And this week, the fatal shooting of 81-year-old Jacqueline Avant, an admired philanthropist and wife of music legend Clarence Avant, in her Beverly Hills home.

A physician and medical researcher who is suing his Virginia hospital for preventing him from treating COVID-19 patients with effective drugs that have become politically charged said his effort is on behalf of physicians across the United States and around the world whose relationship with their patients has been sabotaged. Dr. Paul Marik, a professor at Eastern Virginia Medical School, said it’s “completely outrageous” that the hospital in Norfolk where he serves as ICU director is telling physicians what they can prescribe and not prescribe, violating the doctor-patient relationship and the Hippocratic Oath.“This is really unprecedented in the world,” he...

Matthews' memo levels major accusations: that Flynn and Piatt lied to Congress about their response to pleas for the D.C. Guard to quickly be deployed on Jan. 6; that the Pentagon inspector general’s November report on Army leadership’s response to the attack was “replete with factual inaccuracies”; and that the Army has created its own closely held revisionist document about the Capitol riot that’s “worthy of the best Stalinist or North Korea propagandist.”

Usage of the medication sildenafil – better known to most as the brand-name drug Viagra – is associated with dramatically reduced incidence of Alzheimer's disease, new research suggests. According to a study led by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic, taking sildenafil is tied to a nearly 70 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's compared to non-users. That's based on an analysis of health insurance claim data from over 7.2 million people, in which records showed that claimants who took the medication were much less likely to develop Alzheimer's over the next six years of follow up, compared to matched control...

Three top oil producing states run by Republicans were absent from a letter warning Wall Street financiers of consequences over woke capitalism.West Virginia Republican Treasurer Riley Moore led a coalition of 15 states last month highlighting $600 billion in assets they pledged to take from banks that embrace corporate wokeism and refuse to bank equally with fossil fuel companies. “Just as each state represented in this letter is unique in its governing laws and economy, our actions will take different forms,” Moore wrote. “However, the overarching objective of our actions will be the same – to protect our states’ economies,...

A major new study found that not one healthy child in Germany from ages 5 to 18 died of COVID-19 during the first 15 months of the pandemic. Germany, with more than 80 million people, including about 10 million school-aged children and adolescents, is Europe’s largest country. The study was spotlighted by former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson , who has written several books on the pandemic. He wrote on his Substack page: “The findings, in a nutshell: if you let your healthy child or teenager receive the mRNA Covid vaccine, you are insane.” The German physician-scientists found that...

For months, the Australian government has hastily imprisoned people it deems to be a risk of contracting or infecting others with COVID-19 and forced them into isolation in state-sanctioned quarantine camps.According to 26-year-old Hayley Hodgson, who spent weeks in a quarantine camp despite the fact that she never tested positive for COVID-19, being locked up in this manner is “like you’re in a prison.”“It’s horrible. It’s a horrible feeling,” Hodgson told Freddie Sayers of UnHerd. “You feel like you’re in prison. You feel like you’ve done something wrong. It’s inhumane what they’re doing. You are so small, they just overpower...
