Christian End Times Prophecy

Image used with permission . I did a search on the four horsemen of the apocalypse and came up with everything you could imagine. Blog posts for marketing companies, strange images for video games—people love to rip concepts and allegories out of the Bible but they end up cheapening the message. In this case, the four horsemen have become a euphemism for a sign of anything negative coming your way. How many westerns have I seen where someone quotes Revelation when the gunslinger comes to town and in low undertones, we find that death and hades just rode in?  This would be a good time to read Revelation 6 yourself, just to see what it actually says. A scroll is handed to Jesus, who turns out to be the only one worthy of opening it. When Jesus opens those seals, the horses ride out one by one. Those horses are judgment, and so therefore, this judgment comes at the hand of Jesus, opening the seals. 1. The White Horse (Conqueror): "He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given t...

One of the most concerning things I see today in the church is a confusion or misunderstanding of Israel.  It's gotten worse over time as the church starts sliding all over the place in belief. While it might not seem like a big deal, and nothing to argue over between two believers, I wanted to do a quick listing of what I see as the outcome of this confusion and the paths that lead from it. As you can see, some are concerning and, if someone goes far enough down the path, there is real destructive potential. Did the Church replace Israel? No. Absolutely not. According to theologian Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, if we look in the book of Acts, the term Israel is used 29 times, and the term church is used 19 times. The two groups are always noted as separate and distinct. This is seen in many other places, too. The book of Romans makes so clear the distinction between Israel and the church, and how there is grafting in instead of replacement. The church was a mystery, not seen in the Old ...

  Philippians 4:8 tells that we ought to be thinking on good things. 2 Corinthians 10:5 says we are to take our thoughts captive. All over in God's Word are we reminded of the importance of being careful what we allow into our minds, what we feed what's in our minds, and the danger of letting our minds wander freely to whatever emotional or logical conclusion they will. Being cautious about what we low to live in our minds also involves what might seem like "good" information from fellow Christians. Over the years, I've found that the things that Christians are eager to consume are things from people who: Say they have a prophecy about what's going to happen. Claim to have incredible supernatural experiences and share their stories. Talk about breaking news in light of how it fits in the end times. Say they are a watchman or have a discernment ministry, and are sounding an alarm. Trash the bride (the church) and can't stop talking about how awful, weak, an...

  We're living the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Not that laws of physics control spiritual things, but it's one of the things I think of when I hear people insisting that a great awakening or revival or taking back of the nations to the way things were in 2019 are all wrong. We are in entropy . It feels like a heavy blanket on the heart. Everywhere are people completely deceived, and happily embracing every new deception, thinking they are finding a path to enlightenment and fulfillment. Everywhere is depravity dressed up in bright colors, glitter, sparkles, false smiles, and even packaged into children's media. Apathy grows. Self-love rules cold hearts. Rumors and threats of war. New diseases. New leaps towards global control and more parts of a beast system that marks and controls who can buy or sell being put into place. New chaos and riots and ethnic divisions, both on the streets and disguised behind genteel speakers in pulpits and college lecture halls. People losing...

If I were to tell you what I see said the most about the rapture as far as disagreeing with a pre-trib rapture, this is probably the list. I will likely be adding to it as I come across others that pop up on my radar. For those wanting to argue various theological positions, I encourage you to watch this YouTube series . Not a single idea, argument, or protest is left untouched. "There are a few signs that need to happen before the rapture." The imminence of the rapture is the key. Nothing needs to happen before it. Nothing. It is sign-less. Don't mistake the shadow and stage-setting for the tribulation as signs of the rapture beyond the fact that the rapture happens before the tribulation and if all that is falling into place than it is ever more imminent than ever before. But there is not one thing that needs to happen before Christ calls his bride home. "You pre-tribbers just want to escape!" Yes, I surely do want to escape going through the tribulation. It...

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...
