The Great White Throne
By Joseph Chambers
As the final moment arrives to complete the judgment of sinners, we can expect that arrogance and rebellion have finally finished their course. The Bible is filled with godless men that were always ready to laugh in the face of God.

A Promise is a Promise and Hope Springs Eternal
The news these days can sure drag a person down! Let’s see . . . a Methane gas cloud may force evacuation of Gulf Coast residents . . . Israel and America appear to be positioning for war with Iran . . . the Communists have slowly but surely infiltrated the highest levels of American government . . . companies are jumping on the bandwagon to show support for homosexual and transgender employees. Yuk.
It’s important that we keep abreast of these things because they graphically illustrate the times we’re living in and Jesus implied that we should keep our eye on the signs of our times. But we need to keep perspective. We need to remember Whose we are and where we’re headed. We need to be able to come home at night after a day of battering by such awful headlines and refocus on the promises of God and the hope we have in Jesus Christ. When we can view everything happening through a lens of promise and hope in Jesus, the view is much brighter and a lot less distressing even exciting! Let me show you what I mean.

A Chronology of End Time Events
This Week’s Feature Article by Jack Kelley
More and more as we get closer to the end, people want to see a time line of coming events. Questions about the order in which events will take place, the span of time between them and the likelihood of there being enough time for everything to happen in the time we have left are becoming more numerous with each passing week.
As you know the Bible doesn’t provide this level of specificity. But neither are we left to make unfounded predictions. There are a number of clues scattered throughout the New Testament that take much of the guess work out of things. With diligent study, we can put them together and make some pretty reasonable assumptions.

A Land of Unwalled Villages

I know I’m beginning to sound like a broken record by now, but there’s an enormous potential for a giant leap forward in End Times prophecy this summer, and this week we came breathtakingly close to witnessing its beginning.
Why the Rebirth of Israel Is a Sign of the End
“Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.” (
Matt. 24:32-33)
Many students of prophecy identify the Lesson of the Fig Tree in Matt. 24 as a reference to Israel. While the fig tree is often used to symbolize Israel, this is not one of those times.
Isaiah 17 – An Oracle Against Damascus
In the past couple of years it has become even clearer that Isaiah’s prophecy of the destruction of Damascus will soon come to fulfillment, perhaps being part of the Psalm 83 scenario I’ve written about. If so, it would explain why Syria is not included among the coalition of Muslim nations who will gather against Israel in the Battle of Ezekiel 38. Updating our study of Isaiah 17 seems a fitting conclusion to our recent reviews of Ezekiel 38 and Psalm 83.

Nations in Distress with Perplexity – May 13
By Jan Markell
Olive Tree Ministries
In Luke 21 there are several references to troubled times. In verse 25 it says nations will be in distress with perplexity suggesting that problems may be so grave, no one knows how to solve them. In verse 26, it refers to men’s hearts failing them from fear, especially when they see what may be coming upon them. In this context, the perfect storm is coming.
Saints in the Tribulation – Hindson
Q. There are several statements in Daniel Chapter 7 that seem to indicate Christians will have to go through at least part of the Tribulation. Could you comment?
A. These references are probably among those about the Antichrist, about whom Daniel says:

What Does it All Mean? – Markell
I believe I have studied under the best of the best teachers when it comes to what the Bible lays out for us in the last days. Many are dazed at the rapid decline of America. The passage of health care wasn’t about health care; rather, the socialization of America. America just came under the power of Saul Alinsky. But some of us, while grieved, look at the broader picture. So, this is how I see it.
Revelation, chapters 13 and 17, lays out a coming one-world political system, one-world leader, one-world religion, and a one-world financial system (cashless). We don’t know when this will all be implemented, but we do know the biggest factor holding up the one-world order has been America, the superpower like no other.

Rapture References
By Jack Kelley
In part one of this series we explored some of the clearest hints from the Old Testament that the Lord has always intended to rapture the Church before the End Times judgments begin. This time we’ll continue with a two part survey of the New Testament. Because Paul was the first to reveal the mystery of the Rapture, we won’t expect to find a clear explanation in the Gospels, but since we already know about it, we’ll be able to spot a couple of hints here and there. Shall we continue?
