As I read Jeremiah, I cannot help but see the parallels between the United States and Israel of old. Do not get me wrong; Israel is God's nation. God gives promises to Israel that belong to no other country, but there are striking similarities in spiritual history. God makes it clear that Jeremiah is a … Continue reading Warnings From Jeremiah
Prophet
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
How To Live A Quiet Life
2 Chronicles 20:30, "So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest round about." Often, we describe life as noisy. Many things are confusing, complicated, and nerve-wracking. Problems overwhelm the soul. "When will it ever end!" is a cry often heard. Illnesses, crime, stress, financial woes, relationship problems, the heartaches involved … Continue reading How To Live A Quiet Life

Most correspondence mentioned that they had never heard of the Psalm 83 battle. Prophecy teachers often bring up the Ezekiel invasion in their lectures, sermons, and books. However, any Bible teacher mentioning … Continue reading Two Wars Are Coming

Yes, indeed, you do not see many Americans bowing to golden idols, but we do have our gods. Anything that takes first … Continue reading America’s Fall
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
Why Should God Let You Into Heaven?
Without getting into a sizeable theological debate on the several different judgments the Bible talks about, let us assume, come judgment day, God asks you a straightforward question, "Why should I let you into heaven?" What would your answer be? Let us examine what would be some of the more popular answers. "I was a … Continue reading Why Should God Let You Into Heaven?
Easter The Holiday
Easter has always been an intriguing holiday for me. Not what the holiday is about; the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, but how people celebrate the day. By saying how people celebrate the day, I am not talking about bunnies and eggs; I am referring to how some will give the day reverence, yet ignore its … Continue reading Easter The Holiday
