Christian End Times Prophecy

I debated between using "may be" and "will be" in the title of this blog post, but I went with will be. As I've alluded to in other posts regarding the increasing deception that will continue to grow, Christians and non-Christians alike aren't fooled by the globalists. There is an ever-growing odd collection of people on the left, center, and right who are walking in agreement about their distrust and desire to expose the WEF, the elite, the overlords of recent years that have so clumsily played their hands. If they're not fooled now, why would they be later? When you see the massive rallies and protests and marches across the world, they are populist movements. They are pushing back at the elites and globalists. They are nationalists. When you dive into the many social media groups and websites dedicated to politics, they are about grassroots rising up and becoming active to push back and shake off the control of these powerful government bureaucrats a...

1 Peter 1:16-20 reveals the importance of prophecy. Peter saw a lot of miracles in his day. Through the power of God, he even participated in some. And yet, he tells us that prophecy, not the miraculous signs, was a more sure and confirmed word. Chuck Missler had something very interesting to say regarding the problem with chasing after signs and wonders, and why true prophecy is how God shows us when he is the one at work. Missler first establishes that the Bible tells us that Satan can do miracles, too. We see that throughout the Bible (e.g. Pharaoh's magicians), and we know he and his demonic hordes will be doing miraculous things during the tribulation. Missler explains: This presents a problem. If Satan can duplicate the miracles of God, then "signs and wonders" cannot be used as the arbiter of truth. That is, we cannot determine whether someone or something is good or evil based on ability to perform "signs and wonders."  1 Missler then points out that in...

We're seeing videos of people around the world rising up in protest against the various mandates and restrictions that have come down like a hammer. It's easy to find videos online of non-Christians talking about the Great Reset and the global elite. In Matthew 24, Jesus is talking about the Tribulation. His disciples asked questions and Jesus is answering them. The church (and the rapture) is not what he's talking about in that section of scripture.   It's important to understand that because many confuse this. The Olivet Discourse of Matthew 24-25 is Israel-and-Tribulation-centric. The Upper Room Discourse of John 13 came later in the timeline and was about the church and the Rapture. But those shadows of the Tribulation are cast, and we know that deception is one of the signs of the tribulation that will cast a shadow backwards. It's in Matthew 24:24 that we learn the deception during the Tribulation will be so all-encompassing that if it were possible, the elect...

  In Revelation 13:1-4 , we see the beast rising out of the sea. Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” The beast is made up of the four animals from Daniel's vision (Daniel 7:208), representing the four kingdoms of Gentile rule. The sea often represents humanity (particularly Gentiles), and/or chaos. It is from out of that sea the beast (antichrist) will c...

  In my morning Bible reading and study in 2 Thessalonians 2 , the phrase "the mystery of lawlessness" caught my attention in a different way. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is removed. - 2 Thess. 2:7 In this chapter, Paul is reassuring the Thessalonians that no, Christ hadn't returned. He starts the chapter reassuring them that the false spirit, the false word, or the false letter that had convinced them otherwise was wrong ( 2 Thess. 2:2 ) Stop there for a second. A false spirit (i.e. a false revelation or prophecy). A false word or message (someone spoke a lie to them directly or personally). A false letter (something written taught them a lie). Are these three modes of deception rampant today or what? From there, Paul proceeds to reassure them that he is correct, describing what will happen with the coming man of lawlessness (the antichrist). This man will oppose every "god" and faith practice...

Since late 2020, I've run a page on MeWe where I've shared articles, videos, and information that relate to Bible prophecy and the end times. In the summer of 2021, I added a Telegram channel. There are many views of Bible prophecy and the end times. As noted in the site description, this site takes a pre-tribulation pre-millennial dispensational view.  Very basically, I believe the rapture happens before the 7 year tribulation, of which the last half is the Great Tribulation. The rapture is imminent, which means are no signs necessary for the rapture. There are signs for things pertaining to the Second Coming of Christ, but not the rapture. Sometimes those signs throw a shadow back on how we live now, which is why people will say "signs of the times" as a way of saying "we're seeing the beginning birth pangs of what is going to happen at the end." The rapture takes Christ's church out of the world before the nation of Israel becomes God's focus...
