Harold Camping: Date-Setting Madness
Harold Camping (age 88) is at it again! Back in 1992 he published a book titled 1994? in which he set the date for the Lord’s return for September 6, 1994. [1] Now, in his latest book, Time Has An End, he has set a new “absolute” date of May 21, 2011. [2]
Unfortunately, Camping has a lot of influence within Christendom because he owns the Family Radio Network which broadcasts his messages over 150 radio stations within the United States. His message is also being broadcast via satellites to most of the nations of the world.

When Technology Turns Against Us
We all know we are heading into a full-blown surveillance society. The U.K. probably heads the world in this effort, but the U.S. is nipping at its heels. The Obama administration is assuring that.
Newsmax online is reporting the fact that Obama is eyeing the Internet to ID all Americans. This was preceded by the Net Neutrality Act which was the first phase of the government monitoring the Internet. White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt says,

An Interpretation of Matthew 24 – 25 – Ice
By Dr. Thomas Ice
Pre-Trib Research Center
The disciples question in Matthew 24:3 is divided into two parts. The first question relates to the destruction of the Temple, which took place in a.d. 70. The second question, composed of two parts but related to one another, refers to events that are still yet to come. The disciples apparently thought that all three items, destruction of the Temple, the sign of Christ’ s coming, and the end of the age would occur at the same time. Yet this is not the case.

Israel is at the Heart of Prophecy
By Jim Fletcher
Prophecy Matters
I was talking with a friend recently, and we were discussing questions we get while speaking.
One of the most popular is, “How do we know we are in the last days?” A perhaps more popular version of this question is, “How do we know Jesus is coming back soon?”

Dispensationalism and Covenent Theology – Fruchtenbaum
Q. My pastor recently told me that many mainline Christian leaders (including Hank Hanagraff of the Christian Research Institute), have moved from a Dispensationalist view to Covenant view. I was very surprised because in my humble, limited understanding, Dispensationalism makes the most sense biblically. Do you have any insight into why the move from Dispensationalism to the Covenant interpretation? This shift concerns me, as I believe it affects how we treat Israel.

Is the Antichrist a Jew, Gentile, or Supernatural?
When determining the true content of the false covenant of Daniel 9:27 it proves helpful to determine the origin of the Antichrist. Will he be a Jew, Gentile, or a Supernatural being like an Alien or Nephilim as some have recently proposed?

Seven Signs of the End Times
What are the signs of the end times?
It’s important to know so we can explain to others why Christians believe what we believe.
As Peter says:
“But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” 1 Peter 3:15 (NLT)
Unfortunately, too many Christians are unable to explain why they believe we’re in the last days when the opportunity presents itself.

Why God’s Purpose for the Tribulation Excludes the Church – Ice
By Dr. Thomas Ice
Pre-Trib Research Center
“And the LORD your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. And you shall again obey the Lord, and observe all His commandments which I command you today.” – Deuteronomy 30:7-8
God’s purpose for the tribulation (i.e., the seven-year, 70th week of Daniel) revolves around His plan for Israel and does not include an earthly presence for the church. Why? Because God’s plan for Israel is unfinished at this point in history. When the role of the church is completed she will be taken as a completed body to heaven in an instant – at the rapture. This will clear the way for a restoration and resumption of progress toward the completion of our Sovereign Lord’s plans for His elect nation – Israel.

The Second Coming
The Second Coming
By Jack Kelley
At the time of the 6th Bowl judgment, Satan will send 3 demonic emissaries with miraculous powers to persuade all the Kings of the Earth to gather their armies at Har Megiddo, known to us as Armageddon (Rev. 16:14,) Mt. Megiddo overlooks the plains of Jezreel in central Israel, where the world’s armies will come together for the battle of Jerusalem, less than 100 miles to the south. The anti-Christ will invade Israel and set up headquarters in Jerusalem (Daniel 11:41.45). According to Zechariah, the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. (Zech 14:2)
