Christianity, it’s different

Christianity is different from other world religions. Most of them can survive their sacred texts being found to contain conflicting details. What’s most important to them are the broad generalities they teach, not the particulars of their founders’ lives. But Christianity holds itself to such a high standard — 100% accuracy (a standard established by God Himself) — that the details of the life and death of Jesus Christ are critical to the validity of Christianity’s entire message. In fact,

Lawlessness & America

Jesus said that lawlessness would increase in the last days. In the Apostle Paul’s 2nd letter to Timothy he wrote: 1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.  For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,  heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,  treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of

United Nations Attacks Israel

The weapons of war do not consist solely of missiles and guns. They also exist in the form of words and communication. A verbal assault can be more significant than a missile barrage. The United Nations has no standing army. But it still chooses sides and tries to direct the outcome of conflicts. In the conflict between Iran’s proxies and Israel, the UN has chosen to become a propaganda agent for some of the worst terror groups in history. Both

New Alliances

50,000 mosques in Iran have now closed as people have abandoned Islam in droves, sick of the evil Islamic regime they’ve suffered under. Now many are turning to Jesus instead. We are praying that a similar phenomenon will happen in Gaza as disillusionment with Hamas becomes more widespread. The nations around Israel have created hostile battle lines on every side, much as described in Psalm 83, but we need to also keep in mind the seismic developments of the Abraham

The Middle-East Fuse Has Been Lit

Iran’s promised attack on Israel arrived Friday, April 12th. The world now holds its breath, fearful that an Israeli reprisal will keep that volatile region spiraling toward a greater war. I believe Bible prophecy indicates that the present conflict will not immediately turn into the global conflagration which so many now fear. But it is part of a pattern that will eventually lead to Armageddon. Before Friday’s attack, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz wrote on social media, “If Iran attacks

Nations Feeling Restless

The nations of planet earth are presently engaged in a deadly game of brinksmanship. It’s happening on every continent. In Europe, Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine threatens to engulf the region. And European wars have a tendency to become world wars. Finland and Sweden, two previously neutral countries, recently joined NATO. Sweden had been neutral since the early 1800s. It resisted taking sides in World Wars I and II, as well as the Cold War. But not anymore. Sweden

Today’s Israel

The Israel we see today is biblical Israel. Some would say that can’t be true because the people of that nation do not generally live as the Old Testament commands. But when did the people of Israel ever live up to the law of Moses? History shows that the Jews in Israel today descend from the Jews in Israel 2,000 years ago. God placed the proof in their DNA. Do you know what that means? It means the Bible is

Eve of Destruction – Part 2

P.F. Sloan wrote in his story behind the lyrics: “The song ‘Eve of Destruction’ was written in the early morning hours between midnight and dawn in mid-1964. The song was one of five that were written that evening Three of the five became notable for some reason. The other two were ‘The Sins of A Family (Fall On The Daughter)’, and ‘Take Me For What I’m Worth,’ recorded by The Searchers. I was 19 years old. The most outstanding experience

Gog, Magog, and Ukraine

In a recent column entitled, “Rumors of War,” I explained why the Russian-led invasion of Israel detailed in Ezekiel 38 and 39 will include Ukraine. These passages give the leader of this coalition the symbolic name, “Gog.” Could Putin be Gog? He sure could. Is he? We simply don’t know. Some believe that he is, and that the choice to go into Ukraine was not really his at all. They say God is “compelling” him. Ezekiel 38:4 speaks of God

Pride & Technology

Biblical descriptions leading up to Christ’s return match our time in breathtaking detail! Our generation really is unique in human history. And I can prove it with a single word — technology. The sum of human knowledge once took millennia to double, then centuries. By 1945, it was increasing at a rate that doubled every 25 years. Human knowledge is now commonly believed to double every 12 hours. None of us can know the accuracy of that number, but we
