The media offers Americans and the world endless speculation about the war in Iran. They debate President Trump’s plan. They debate what others are saying, especially our allies like NATO. The endless debate goes all the way to the pope. They ask the cardinals and the pope what they think of the war. It seems like the Pope is not really happy with President Trump or the war in Iran at this point in time I’m not trying to sound exclusive. I don’t think I’m a know-it-all. In fact, sometimes I wonder if I know anything, but for certain I,...

"For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, And all were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea, And all ate the same spiritual food, And all drank the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed them, and the rock was Christ."In I Cor. 10:1-4, Paul indicated clearly that the history of the children of Israel is a type, a foreshadowing, of the history of the New Testament believers in Christ. The crossing of the Red...

Right now, if you scroll long enough through conservative Christian feeds, you will see two very different tempers about Israel — two extremes; two ditches. One says this: God told Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse.” That settles it. End of discussion. If you are a Christian, you (your country) must support the modern state of Israel in all things and give them as many resources as they want. To hesitate is to risk standing under God’s curse. The other says this: Christ fulfilled the promises. The covenant is over....

Every civilization has had its oracles. In ancient Greece, kings traveled to Delphi to consult the Oracle of Apollo. In Babylon, rulers relied on astrologers and diviners to interpret signs in the heavens. Pharaoh's court included magicians and wise men who claimed insight into mysteries beyond human understanding. Humanity has always longed for a voice that could answer life's most difficult questions: What should we do? Where is the world headed? Who can guide us through uncertainty? Today, that voice may be emerging from an unexpected place--not from temples or altars, but from servers, algorithms, and neural networks. Artificial intelligence....

“Donkeys were portrayed in Scripture as symbols of service, humility, suffering, and peace. Therefore, riding a donkey symbolized the arrival of peace.” Riding a horse would have symbolized war, but Jesus was declaring peace. By riding a colt, Jesus was essentially saying, “Yes, I am your king. The time you’ve been waiting for has arrived. But things aren’t going to happen as you expect.” The people welcoming Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday expected Him to bring peace to their circumstances through a military victory over the Romans. Jesus came to bring peace between humans and God. He also gives...

At a time when debates about Israel, the Church, and biblical prophecy are shaping Evangelical conversations — often in the shadow of rising antisemitism and global unrest — we would do well to ask: How does the New Testament actually relate to the story of Israel? Since the early days of Christian history, the relationship between Israel and the Church has often been framed as old versus new, with the Church viewed as Israel’s replacement. This mindset assumes that God’s covenantal purposes depended on Israel’s faithfulness and that the generational covenant promised to Abraham could be reassigned to another people....

Across much of the modern church landscape, a curious silence has settled over the pulpit. It is not the silence of reverence or reflection, but the silence of avoidance. Entire portions of Scripture--especially those dealing with the future--are quietly bypassed, rarely explained, and almost never preached through in a systematic way. Topics such as the Rapture, the Tribulation, the Antichrist, the coming Kingdom, and the return of Christ have gradually disappeared from many Sunday morning sermons. For generations of believers, this silence would have been almost unimaginable. Earlier pastors regularly preached through prophetic books such as Daniel, Ezekiel, Zechariah, and...

For a topic that occupies nearly a third of the Bible, the end times remain one of the most misunderstood areas of Scripture. Many Christians care deeply about God's Word, attend church faithfully, and read their Bibles regularly, yet still feel uncertain when the conversation turns to prophecy. For some, the subject feels intimidating. For others, it feels divisive. For many, it simply feels overwhelming.Conversations about the Rapture, the Tribulation, the Antichrist, the Millennium, or the eternal state can quickly become technical or emotionally charged. Instead of clarity, believers often walk away with more questions than confidence. But this confusion...

Why the End Times Confuse So Many Christians For a topic that occupies nearly a third of the Bible, the end times remain one of the most misunderstood areas of Scripture.

Is what we’re seeing in the Middle East today connected to Bible prophecy? In this message, Pastor Jack walks through Jeremiah 49 and Ezekiel 38, examining the ancient nation of Elam and its modern connection to Persia/Iran.

Digital IDs offer undeniable benefits, but they come with risks that strike at the heart of conservative values: privacy, individual autonomy, and skepticism of centralized authority. uppose for a moment that Joe Citizen and his lovely wife are rendered unconscious in an auto accident.

“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” – Matthew 24:30 Most people choose to ignore the Second Coming prophecies of the Bible. Those who ignore these prophecies think they have an endless amount of time. When these events begin to unfold, they will suddenly and regretfully realize that for them, time has run out. Abraham Lincoln said, “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by...

Since the fall in Genesis 3, when Adam and Eve disobeyed the Lord’s one command, God has been on a mission to redeem what has fallen. The Lord has been fighting ever since the fall to win us back to Him. Through the Scriptures God has revealed to us His blueprint on how He intends to fulfill His ultimate plan of redemption for all creation. The book of Genesis defines early on how God plans to redeem all that has fallen. To redeem all that has been lost God chose a man, Abraham, who would be a father to a...

The false prophet who predicted that the Rapture would take place late last month has set the date for the REAL Rapture, insisting it will take place some time between October 7-8 of this year “”The 7th and 8th of October is the real Feast of the Trumpets. I’m a billion percent sure.” Three months ago, Joshua Mhlakela—a “believer” from South Africa who claimed to have once been a pastor—came out of nowhere and began claiming that Jesus came to him in a dream in 2018 and told him: “On the 23rd and the 24th of September, 2025, I will...

As we continue to focus on the many different events which will ultimately find their fulfilment in God’s prophetic program, one of the most dramatic changes facing the world is the end of Gentile domination. You see, at this moment, the world is still in a period referred to as “the times of the Gentiles.” However, this period does have an expiration date. The phrase “the times of the Gentiles” is used by Jesus as recorded in Luke 21:24: “And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will...
