“The Good Shepherd Gives Life to His Undershepherd” (Revelation 7:9-17; Ephesians 2:1-10; John 10:11-18) Dear Miriam, Matthew, Anne Marie, family, and friends of our brother Leonard: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. When we lose a loved one--whether that’s a husband, father, grandfather, friend, fellow church member--we can experience a range of emotions. Certainly there’s a sense of loss, grief, in knowing that we will not see that person again in this life. But for the Christian, when we lose a brother or sister in Christ, there’s also a peace and a...

Some people have a hard time accepting reality. Some things simply sound “too good to be true.” That could be said of Jesus’ promises to those who accept Him: absolute forgiveness and eternal life in the presence of God. On the other hand, some people cannot accept the clear teaching of Scripture regarding the wrath of God that abides on all who do not obey the Son by accepting Him as Savior and Lord (John 3:36). They like the sound of a god who would not harm a fly but cannot accept the living God who will pour out His...

Dear friends; Get out your Bibles and dive deep into this amazing Audio message on the Two Witnesses of Revelation by Dr. John Whitcomb! See who they are and what they will do! Maranatha!

One of the key events of the End Times is a coming peace treaty between Israel and her neighbors which the coming antichrist will broker. We read about this in Daniel 9:27, “And he, [the antichrist, referred to in the previous verse as ‘the prince that shall come’] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week [one set of seven years] and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate…” There’s a lot to unpack in this verse: The antichrist...

On the 5th episode of Gerald Apologizes Apologetics, hosted by Gerald Morgan, sat down with Alex Jones. The duo discuss Eschatology, faith, religion, and the "end of humanity."

Well, to put it bluntly, this sucks. I was in our local Aldi store earlier today and they were in the midst of going to all digital pricing. That is, there's essentially a bar code on the shelf under each group of boxes of items, or under the 2% milk rack, etc., which you scan with a smart phone to get the price. No printed prices are on the shelves, and won't be, according to the employee I spoke with.

Most people don’t notice when they are given counterfeit money and then pass it on. After all, who really takes the trouble to check whether the money he has been given is genuine? However, anyone who passes counterfeit money risks being imprisoned. So we have to know how to recognize counterfeit money, as it will always appear deceptively real. This is also the creed of the “False Prophet,” who is mentioned three times in the Book of Revelation (16:13; 19:20; 20:10). Many people treat the prophetic word in the same careless way in which they take and then pass on...

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ~ 1 Timothy 2:1-2 Religion Forum Threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 1 JOHN 5:14

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Psalm 19:1 My own personal curiosity about space began with the late, great JR Church’s article, The Gospel in the Stars. Mr. Church resurrected this topic from Joseph Seiss and E.W. Bullinger, who each wrote about this in the late 19th century. By the end of the article, I was both fascinated with the topic, and in awe of God’s majesty. I was even a little disappointed frankly, that I had not considered these things about the stars myself. Understandably, we approach this topic with a bit...

Many of you might remember the “blood moon” craze that swept through all the eschatological circles several years ago (2012-2015). If you don’t remember or weren’t a prophecy watcher back then, there was a series (tetrad) of four blood moons that fell upon the Jewish feast dates of Passover and Tabernacles. To be honest, I didn’t think much of it back then and still don’t today. Neither do I think I ever wrote about them, and if I did, I was not promoting it I can assure you. Nevertheless, from what I hear, a couple of fellas sure were able...

“All Saints: Signed, Sealed, Delivered” (Revelation 7:2-17) “Behold a host, arrayed in white.” So we just sang. Our reading from Revelation tells us who they are: “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” But before they came out of the great tribulation, first they were in it. That’s where we are. In the midst of tribulation. Trial and tribulation. Struggle, sorrow, sadness. Grief and loss. This is our lot...

It's that time of year when everyone likes to be spooked and frightened by ghouls and goblins for some unknown reason. Well, we know the reason. Satan has taken one of man's basest fears and marketed back upon us through the occult, the paranormal, the unknown, and the bizarre. People want to be frightened, but not too much...just enough to feel alive again. Little do they know, that there is a time coming that will make the most terrifying horror movie seem like a walk in the park. It is a time the Bible calls by several names, all of...

So what will the world's final end-time religion look like? Will it start out with Satanists running around after the Rapture in red tights and pitchforks, sacrificing everything they can lay their grubby hands on? Will it be the New Age 'crystal wearing' hippies announcing the long-awaited Age of Aquarius? Will it be the final manifestation of Chrislam? Unfortunately, there are as many opinions about this subject as there are phony religions out there masquerading as the truth. While we can't say definitively what the Harlot religion will actually look like at the outset, we know by the mid-point of...

The Russians continue to threaten us with nuclear annihilation. Why are so few people in the western world alarmed by this? I think it is because our leaders are assuring everyone that the Russians are all talk and that the odds of a nuclear war actually happening are extremely low. Meanwhile, both sides just continue to take steps to escalate the war in Ukraine. We are engaged in an extremely bizarre game of “nuclear chicken”, and both sides truly believe that the other side will blink first. And so we continue to creep closer and closer to a cataclysmic nuclear...

Revelation begins with these words: “The revelation of Jesus Christ.” The book is all about Jesus’ magnificence and power. From beginning to end, Revelation glorifies our Lord Jesus Christ. Revelation is more relevant than ever before as we watch a great many of its prophecies come into sharper focus. Conditions are all in place for the four “horsemen of the apocalypse” to begin their trek through the world. Never before in history has the technology existed for one man to control the buying and selling worldwide. Unfortunately, the number of those disputing the message of the book of Revelation continues...

HOUSTON, TX — Houston pastor Joel Osteen has released an exciting new study Bible where he has carefully gone through and redacted every single word of the text: The Redacted Study Bible. Osteen is calling the new edition of the Bible "the most transparent study Bible in history" and claims the redactions were made for your safety, comfort, health, and wealth. The pastor has personally gone through the Scriptures and blacked out every verse that made him feel uncomfortable, which is, well, all of them. For example, Revelation 20:15 in the ESV says, "And if anyone's name was not found...

Happy 3334th anniversary (Sunday) of G-d speaking to the Jewish people on Mt Sinai, and giving humanity the Ten Commandments. Now you know why there are so many Jewish CPAs....They just never stop counting.

“Paradise Restored” (Revelation 22:1-6, 12-20) Paradise lost. Paradise restored. That’s the story of the Bible, from cover to cover. In fact, the Bible literally has bookends, at front and back, telling that story. As we will now see. Thus our theme this morning: “Paradise Restored.” The last couple of weeks we’ve been hearing about the new Jerusalem to come, in Revelation 21. Today we continue in Revelation 22, the last chapter both of the Book of Revelation and of the whole Bible. Our text begins: “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal,...

“The Holy City, the New Jerusalem” (Revelation 21:9-14, 21-27) Last week we went from the now to the new. We saw that one day there will be a new heaven and a new earth. Indeed, we heard the Lord say, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And so we also saw the new Jerusalem, the holy city coming down out of heaven from God--the new Jerusalem, the dwelling place of God with man. This morning we take a tour of the new Jerusalem. This is good, because the new Jerusalem is our final destination. It’s where you and I...

Bill Gates and the World Health Organization have started drafting a New World Order global pandemic treaty on pandemic preparedness that would grant it absolute power over global biosecurity, such as the power to implement digital identities, vaccine passports, mandatory vaccinations, and travel restrictions. World Health Organization Pandemic Treaty: What It Is, Why It Matters and How to Stop It FROM THE DEFENDER: The globalists that brought us the wildly exaggerated COVID pandemic in an effort to cement a biosecurity grid into place are now hard at work on the next phase of this New World Order. The World Health...
