As I sit down to write this column, it is 8:30 a.m. in the Eastern United States, 3:30 p.m. in Jerusalem and Moscow, and 4:00 p.m. in Tehran. Iran announced yesterday that the Iranian foreign minister would meet with Russian officials in Moscow today (Monday). Given that it is currently mid-afternoon in Moscow, we must … Continue reading God, Israel, Iran, Russia

His Sake Or Yours?
As individual Christians, do we wander through life as Israel did for forty years in the wilderness, or do we have a purpose and goal that we strive toward every day like the Apostle Paul? Even when we knock off the "to do list" - go to church, read the Bible, pray, and so on … Continue reading His Sake Or Yours?
Let’s Talk Ukraine
The world is on edge after what happened in the Oval Office last week between Presidents Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vice President Vance. I am seeing some interesting comments on social media. A few Trump supporters favor Zelenskyy, and some anti-Trump people praise President Trump for his actions in the exchange between the two leaders. However, … Continue reading Let’s Talk Ukraine
Ezekiel 38 Alliances Taking Shape
When studying Biblical prophecy, it is impossible to give dates. We cannot say that a particular event will occur on this date. Some prophecies, however, can be arranged in sequence; we know event A will precede event B. Other prophecies are more elusive; we are still determining where they fall in the sequence of events. … Continue reading Ezekiel 38 Alliances Taking Shape
Regardless Of Who Wins

This … Continue reading Regardless Of Who Wins

My mailbox has received emails asking about the pending invasion by Iran. What will happen to Israel? Is this coming … Continue reading Saber Rattling
Political Rumblings
Has anyone in the press not talked about President Biden's debate performance? Little can be said that has not already saturated the news and private conversations. In too simplistic of a sumerary, one side says, "I told you so!" and the other says, "We have to do something." With the political climate in America reaching … Continue reading Political Rumblings
It’s Not What You Might Think
Over the weekend, Iran launched 300+ drones and missiles toward Israel. The Western powerhouse nations of the United States, Great Britain, and France, along with Jordan, came to Israel's aid and, along with the Israeli air force, shot down ninety-nine percent of the invasion. Authorities claim there was no significant damage. There is a seven-year-old … Continue reading It’s Not What You Might Think
Shaky Ground Made Of Thin Ice
Often, on social media, I will read something to the effect, "Bible prophecy is happening right before our eyes." Well, not really. There is a coming day when the Bible will give a play-by-play of worldwide events. During the seven-year tribulation, people will experience hail and fire mingled with blood, resulting in the loss of … Continue reading Shaky Ground Made Of Thin Ice
