Over the years, people have tried to place America in the end-time events of Scripture. It is difficult for many to accept that a nation as powerful as the United States is not a prominent player in the last days; therefore, it must be there. The reason for the first paragraph is when people see … Continue reading America In Scripture

The Falling Away
Before the second coming of Christ, the Bible is clear there will be a "falling away" (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Many Christians believe there will come a massive revival before the rapture, but the Scripture does not back up that belief. The verse most often cited for the "revival before the rapture" thought is Matthew 24:14. "And … Continue reading The Falling Away
The Pre-Tribulation Rapture
We are just past the halfway point of 2020, and if nothing else happened this year, it would still go down as one of the strangest years in history. The best word to describe it, I believe, is "uncertainty." People are uncertain about their health, the economy, social reform, the nation, the world. Christians around … Continue reading The Pre-Tribulation Rapture
What Is Coming.
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.

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?
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?
