We most assuredly live in biblical times. The convergence of signs is like that of the grand finale of a fireworks show that noisily illuminates the sky with its bright display of colors. Yet sadly, many believers and pastors turn their heads and walk away from the spectacle telling themselves and others, “There’s nothing to see here.” I also believe the words of Proverbs 1:20 apply here: “Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:” The myriad of signs, along with the voices of many students of Bible prophecy, sound the alarm regarding the nearness of the Tribulation....

A reader recently sent me an email that said: I know that all of us have heard that depression and suicide are becoming rampant with our children and our elderly. I believe the reason is because they have no hope. Many go to church, but they have a propensity for depression and an attitude that there is nothing more to live for. I feel that the church needs to step up and become more aware of the End-Time news that needs to be taught that will help lift these poor people’s emotions to a higher plane of hope and renewed...

“I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door and, no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Revelation 3:8 The watchman on the western wall cried with a loud voice to the crowds thronging below him, Behold, the end of all things is at hand! No head turned towards him. No ear bent upwards to better hear. After a moment, he cried out again, Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation! Again, no acknowledgment. Just heads...

Missionary Evangelist Robert Breaker talks about the Rapture, and how it's BEFORE the tribulation.

I constantly receive e-mails from readers who want me to give them my opinion on how close we are to the Rapture. Some keep rephrasing the question and asking again and again. Some say, “I know you don’t know the day or the hour, but will it be in the next few weeks, before the end of this year, what do you think, etc.?” Many readers have been expecting the Rapture to happen for several years, but it has not happened, and they want to know, “How much longer will we have to wait?” One reader recently wrote this: I...

All of us were heartbroken at the images coming out of Maui in early August. Everyone said it was like the end of the world. It was apocalyptic. The scenes remind us of images from WWII when dozens of cities looked like Lahaina, Maui. But this wasn’t a wartime ordeal. This was a peaceful day in paradise that was interrupted by the unthinkable. A wildfire of suspicious origin violently ended the lives of hundreds, and potentially thousands, of people whose day started like any other and ended in a hellish ordeal. We see why the Bible says, “Today is the...

In the summer of 2022, a group of scientists and professionals connected to the study of the climate started seeking signatures on a document that states that there is no climate emergency. Climate change supporters quickly started saying the document is “anti-science,” “the work of uninformed people,” “untruthful,” and things like that. On Aug. 16, 2023, The New American reported that now more than 1,600 scientists and professionals, including two Nobel Prize winners and experts from MIT, Princeton, and other notable institutions around the world, have signed the document. Some of the things in the document these universally recognized men...

How a conspiracy theory is born in the 21st century. Sudden explosion of violence and tragedy that shocks the public A government response that is either uncannily premeditated or an abysmal failure The eruption of news coverage with what seems like a prepackaged narrative Fast forward one week Then the sudden suppression of all information about said event coming from authorities The numerous questions that naturally arise from unanswered questions Communities, citizens, and alternative media are left to speculate what just happened Anyone caught asking questions about said-event after the wall of silence is erected is now labeled a conspiracy...

The word “Revelation” (as in the book of Revelation) comes from the Greek word “apokalupsis.” It means “the uncovering, the unveiling, or the disclosing.” “Revelation” is the disclosing of Jesus Christ. It can be taken two ways: 1) as the disclosing of the person called Jesus, or 2) as the disclosing of what He intends to do. Since the book of Revelation begins with the words “The Revelation of Jesus Christ,” and most of the book of Revelation (chapters 6-19) is about the terrible things that will take place during the coming Tribulation Period, many commentators refer to that coming...

On Aug. 2, 2023, Anne Graham Lotz (daughter of Billy Graham) wrote: “If I believe what He (Jesus) said about sin, salvation, forgiveness, the love of God the Father, eternal life, His own identity, and all the other big truths (John 3:16–17; 5:17–21; 11:25–26.), then it stands to reason that what He said about His return is equally true. Jesus is coming! The glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, is imminent! (Titus 2:13). Ann’s statement is right on target, but it triggers questions in my mind: If Christians believe the Bible is the Word of God,...

I can't remember exactly when Tyler (Gen 2434) and I discussed this, but one of the points I made in that video was how the closer we get to the end, the more confusion there will be in the ranks of the watching remnant. I referenced this phenomenon with an aviation illustration when flying an airplane under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and entering into the "cone of confusion." Essentially, as an airplane flies toward a respective ground station beacon (which sends out signals/radials in every direction), the plane starts picking up multiple signals. As the plane flies on an inbound...

On July 24, 2023, it was reported that Marshall, Minn. Pastor John Tramm wrote a letter to Minn. Gov. Tim Walz that was signed by 20 Minn. Pastors and hand-delivered to Gov. Walz by Pastor Tramm and Pastor Eric Anderson. The letter urged Gov. Walz to “Repent, change your ways before it is too late.” It was prompted by three bills that Gov. Walz signed: One that promotes part of the LGBTQ agenda. One that could threaten the freedom of speech of professionals that want to warn patients and children about the potential dangers of “conversion therapy.” One that grants...

Time is running out for humanity. Our world becomes a little bit more like a really bad science fiction movie with each passing day, and our self-destructive tendencies are slowly but surely transforming our society into a living nightmare. Given enough time, we would destroy ourselves and everything around us. On a very basic level, most people can feel that global events are starting to spiral out of control. Evil is growing all around us, and just about everything that our leaders do to solve our rapidly growing problems seems to make them even worse. The pace of change just...

The global elites who are determined to bring in a New World Order seem fixated on the year 2030. The United Nations has set a deadline for achieving its Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development by the year 2030. Agenda 2030 for S.D. has 17 goals for curing all of the world’s problems under the leadership of the unelected officials of the United Nations. All nations are required to follow their guidelines to bring about this new utopia on Earth. They are to relinquish their national sovereignty and become a member of the New World Order. All members will be required...

Again and again, Jesus told His people to watch for the signs of His coming, but there is silence in many pulpits. Most of those in the pews are not watching, and if someone tries to alert them to what is going on, there is a big chance that they will remind us that Jesus said, “Of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father in heaven” (Matt. 24:36). While I do not believe that anyone knows the day and hour, I sometimes wonder if that is the only thing they know...

The Mark of the Beast is not my number, your number, or the number of anyone that can be identified at this time. It is not my driver’s license number, Social Security number, National or global ID number, or anything like that. It is not a different number for different people. It is the same Mark, name, or number for everyone. It is the Mark, name, or number of a man called the Antichrist. Notice what the Bible says in Rev. 13:16-18 (KJV): “And he [the False Prophet] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,...

On July 4, 2023, Jean Worland (jean.worland@roadrunner.com) posted these words from Hal Lindsey: In Matthew 16:2-3, Jesus admonished us to discern the times. That means pay attention to what’s going on. Study and apply God’s word. And pray about everything. Today, we see signs of distress all over the world. We can see in real-time things the Bible long ago told us about. And it’s not pretty. Lawlessness, moral confusion, slander, deception, hedonism, uncontrolled rage, and cruelty fill our sightlines. These things are no longer theoretical events to be analyzed from a distance. They’re happening all around us, and it...

The topic of Bible prophecy is more relevant to our lives now than at any other time in the history of the church. It’s never been more vital that churches teach it, and believers understand it. It’s not just the convergence of a host of prophetic signs that make it so, but the existential dangers to our lives and livelihood that threaten everyone. I have watched recordings from the World Economic Forum (WEF) meetings during which time the elite talk openly about the need to drastically reduce the world’s population. One woman causally suggested that five hundred million would be...

The UN recently announced that they need “7 Years of Accelerated, Transformative Action to Achieve SDGs.” The SDGs are the seventeen “Sustainable Development Goals” that the UN put in place eight years ago through which they intend to establish a one-world government. Below is a quote from the UN’s website regarding the upcoming summit during which they hope the leaders of the world will commit to a seven-year initiative to achieve all their SDGs: The SDG Summit in September 2023 must signal a genuine turning point. It must mobilize the political commitment and breakthroughs our world desperately needs. It must...

On June 22, 2023, expert Bible prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati said: When many look at the world around us, they see chaos. I see something different. I see God warning the people of this world that His judgment is coming soon. The Bible shows us that this is the way He operates – warning, then judgment. God sent Noah to warn the world that His judgment was coming. He sent angels to warn Sodom and Gomorrah that judgment was coming. He sent prophets to Israel to warn them judgment was coming. And He told the whole church of the signs...
