If you read through the New Testament, you’ll quickly notice how its various authors point their readers back to the first Book of the Bible: Genesis. Peter, Paul, and the Lord Jesus Christ all interpreted Genesis 1-11 as real, literal history. In fact, the Lord Jesus draws a fascinating parallel between the calling up of the Church from this world (the pre-tribulation Rapture) and the dramatic events that occurred during Noah’s life. Consider how Jesus used the historical backdrop of Genesis 6-9 to illustrate an important truth about the pre-tribulation Rapture: “But as the days of Noah were, so shall...

I purchased Billy Graham’s book, Approaching Hoofbeats, not long after its publication in 1983. I cannot remember all that I thought as I read it forty years ago, but I know the book sparked hope regarding the nearness of the Rapture. As a young pastor at the time, I loved preaching about Bible prophecy and Jesus’ appearing. As I recently skimmed its chapters, the stark differences between then and now leaped off the pages. Some of the signs that four decades ago seemed so indicative of the nearing Rapture pale by comparison to all that we see today. The Antichrist...

What’s likely to become the biggest travel event during 2024 in America? Some might think it would be the Super Bowl or another sporting event, such as the Indianapolis 500. However, according to the Washington Post, it will be the solar eclipse that will cross the U.S. on April 8, 2024. This eclipse sparks added interest among prophecy watchers because of its relationship to another darkening of the sun that occurred on August 21, 2017. The two eclipses, seven years apart, will form an X on America intersecting at Little Egypt, a small town in southern Illinois. Is this just...

On Dec. 6, 2023, UN Sec. Gen. Guterres invoked Article 99 of the UN Charter, which allows him to ask the UN Security Council to restore the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas because the war is threatening “peace and security” on earth. On Dec. 8, 2023, officials from Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia visited Washington to urge U.S. support for a ceasefire when it came up for a vote in the UN Security Council. When the issue came up for a vote later that day, the U.S. vetoed it. Iran’s Foreign Minister responded by warning that America’s veto...

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...

Evil people have always conspired against the righteous. We see this in the words of David in Psalm 37:12: “The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him.” Why, then, do the majority of people doubt that this happens today? Why do so many believers deny that there’s an apparent deadly intent in the agenda of the globalists? One possible answer to the above questions is that many regard the warnings they hear as “conspiracy theories.” This has become a popular yet convenient way for people to disregard the threats to their wellbeing and continue with life...

‘The fourth beast [means]—there will be a fourth kingdom upon the earth which will be different from all the kingdoms; it will devour the whole earth, tread it down, and crush it. Daniel 7:23 On Monday, US President Joe Biden addressed the Business Roundtable’s CEO Quarterly Meeting. After several minutes of self-praise accomplished by citing questionable “facts,” the President made a remarkable statement before being hustled away from the podium by his handlers: his administration would be a leader in the “new world order.” This statement was interpreted by one Jerusalem rabbi as a type of euphimism to reduce the...

The following events have happened in the last few days. These and all the things that are going down seem to indicate that history is at the end of the age. One, concerning Jerusalem: on Thursday, June 24, 2021, Honduras became the fourth nation to move its Embassy to Jerusalem, thus recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel (the other 3 are the U.S., Guatemala, and Kosovo). Two, concerning control of the Temple Mount: on June 27, 2021, because of threats against Jews visiting the Temple Mount, a large group of police escorted a Jewish politician named Itamar Ben-Gvir on...

If things are so wonderful, then why do so many people feel a deep sense of unease about what is ahead? I think that the reason why our society is so obsessed with apocalyptic movies and television shows is because most of us realize on some level that we are living in an apocalyptic generation. As I have been documenting in my articles over the last several months, the clock is ticking for humanity. If we continue to do things the way we have been doing them, our society will inevitably collapse. Even now, virtually all of our systems are...

It is the opinion of this writer that it is just a matter of time until several end-of-the-age prophecies will be fulfilled. Here are some recent related events that appear to verify this opinion. One, concerning the return of Israel at the end of the age, on Apr. 14, 2021, Israel’s 73rd Memorial Day on the Hebrew calendar, Israel’s Chief of Staff, Gen. Kokhavi, went to the Western Wall and told the Jewish people that Israel’s return to the Promised Land fulfills a prophecy in the Book of Jeremiah (Jer. 31:15-16). He said, “We are the generations of sons that...

If this wasn’t so dangerous and sad – it would be funny. Do you realize that most people being injected with the Covid Jab test positive after the shot? YES – they test positive when they never tested positive before, and they are transmitting the so-called virus. They are told to continue mask-wearing and social distancing. So I ask you: WHY GET THE JAB??? Am I missing something here? From americanmilitarynews.com Department of Defense medical researchers have developed a microchip that can detect COVID-19 after being inserted under an individual’s skin. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) — a...

The Great Reset Perhaps the most telling indicator today of the rapidly approaching tribulation is the fast-rising world government that the Bible says will dominate the world during the tribulation period. The globalists openly discuss their plans for world domination, yet so many believers, as well as their pastors, remain oblivious to the sinister agenda of these elite power brokers. Daymond Duck, in his March 20, 2021, article on the Rapture Ready website, Apocalypse Approaching, wrote this in regard to the coming New World Order of the antichrist: The Bible clearly teaches that the Antichrist and False Prophet will be...

There is so much confusion out there right now, and my hope is that this article will help to clear things up. Lots of people seem to think that we will soon see a “return to normal” and that good times are just around the corner, but that is not true at all. In fact, I believe that things will become progressively worse in the months ahead. I don’t know if we have ever seen a time when more major end times signs were in the process of being fulfilled, and I expect global events to soon accelerate even more....

Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign Because many believers reject the idea that we live in the last days before the events of the seven-year tribulation sweep over the earth, they fail to identify the many ways that make today radically different than any previous time in history. The purpose of this series is to present evidence of why we live in the last moments of human history as we know it. In part 1, I discussed how the rebirth of Israel is the key to identifying this day as the last moments in human history as we know it. This...

The Rebirth of Israel Opens the Door Most Christians do not believe that we live in the last moments of human history before the events of the tribulation sweep over the earth. The reasons for this vary. Many belong to churches that have long since rejected beliefs in the pretribulation rapture, a seven-year tribulation, and the millennial reign of Jesus. Others remain unaware of how so many signs point to the nearness of Jesus’ appearing, either because their pastors do not teach biblical prophecy or when they do, they dismiss it as something irrelevant to the lives of those listening....

The Bible clearly teaches that the Antichrist and False Prophet will be active on earth at the same time (during the Tribulation Period). If we are close to a world government run by the Antichrist, we are close to a world religion run by the False Prophet. If we are close to a world government and world religion, we are close to a new economic system that the Antichrist and False Prophet will use to control people. Put another way, when the Tribulation Period arrives, there will be three global systems on earth at the same time: a global political...

There are people today, including myself, that wonder why we’re still here. After all, Jesus, Paul, James, John, Peter and other prophets gave us signs to look for, and every one of them, except for the Rapture and the appearance of the antichrist, are here right now. (all emphasis mine) The Ezekiel coalition has been formed for the first time in history, and God has made sure that Russia, Iran and Turkey are in desperate need of resources to survive. Then, there sits tiny Israel with all those natural gas and oil reserves, and they appear ripe for the picking....

Most people still don’t realize this, but the truth is that we have entered an apocalyptic time in human history. War, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, economic problems and civil unrest are all in the headlines on a daily basis already, and they are all going to be a bigger part of our lives moving forward. Those that have been hoping that our lives would soon “return to normal” will be greatly disappointed, because what we have experienced so far is just the beginning. Now that the warmongers are back in control in Washington, we should expect a steady stream of...
