Since the start of the virus, this column has focused mostly on Biblical prophecy. I feel it prudent to take a step back and give readers an overview of what is coming according to the Bible. With the outbreak of COVID-19, specific political news from the Middle East, natural disasters around the globe, and civil … Continue reading What Is Coming.

Division and Fear
What does the Bible say about those in authority? All authority, from a fifteen-year-old babysitter to the leaders of nations, comes from God (Romans 13:1). However, this God-given authority does not give people in authority the right to exercise absolute rule. Leaders and those in power are "the minister of God, a revenger to execute … Continue reading Division and Fear
Study Habits
Do you remember studying for a test back in your school days? You are spending the evening reading a text over and over, answering study questions at the end of a chapter. I remember one test that had one particular question everyone missed. The teacher showed everyone that the answer was in the caption … Continue reading Study Habits
How Long Until The Mark Of The Beast?
Most people know it as 666. It is the mark of the beast and comes from Revelation 13:16-18, "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had … Continue reading How Long Until The Mark Of The Beast?
When Should The Lockdown End? Is That The Question?
Remember the days when two people could have different opinions and still get along? Now it seems if someone yields a different opinion, the labels of racist, sexist, or some other sort of “ist,” begin to fly. We are a nation divided. In this year of the virus, opinions range from a massive government … Continue reading When Should The Lockdown End? Is That The Question?
Jeremiah and the United States
For the past three decades or so, I cannot help but think of the United States when I read the book of Jeremiah. When Jeremiah begins, sin had engulfed Israel for decades. God anoints the prophet Jeremiah with the message of impending doom if Israel does not repent. Early in the book, God gives Israel … Continue reading Jeremiah and the United States
The World of Antichrist
The last two weeks I've written about the signs of Christ's return going on around the world. Worldwide pestilence, earthquakes in divers place, wars and rumors wars, massive locust swarms in Africa, and the list continues. Through various forms of correspondence, I have received the following questions, "Is this the end of the world?" "Is … Continue reading The World of Antichrist
Signs, Signs, And More Signs
If anyone wanted to point to signs of Christ's return, the last two weeks have been a prophecy student's dream. Worldwide pandemic. Earthquakes in Utah, Tennessee, Nevada, and the Carolinas. World economies on the verge of collapse. Locust swarms in Africa. A world toilet paper shortage. Okay, the Bible does not say anything about number … Continue reading Signs, Signs, And More Signs
Will The Rapture Be That Big Of An Event?
The rapture as Christians call it is the Biblical prophecy of Jesus appearing in the sky and calling all the real Christians home to heaven. Those Christians that have passed away since Christ's resurrection will also be resurrected and acquire their eternal bodies. Those Christians that are alive when the rapture comes will appear, to … Continue reading Will The Rapture Be That Big Of An Event?
Church VS A High School Pep Rally
Way back in the day, way back before high school basketball had a three-point shot, way back when I was in high school, my high school had an outstanding basketball team. We were a large school, playing the best schools in the state of Ohio. In my junior year, we went to the final four, … Continue reading Church VS A High School Pep Rally
