Eschatology / End Times – A Journal of Edification and Exhortation

FROM

(NKJV) “Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (Revelation 3:10; emphasis mine). The Greek word “from” is “ek”. It often means “out of or separated but in the presenceContinue reading “FROM”

Ears To Hear and Eyes to See

(NKJV) “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers, “saying, ‘Go to this people and say:“Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand;And seeing you will see, and not perceive;For the hearts of this people have grown dull.Their ears are hard of hearing,And their eyes they have closed,Lest they should seeContinue reading “Ears To Hear and Eyes to See”

What Is God’s Mission?

What is God’s mission? What is His vision? Why does He tolerate the evil in the world? Did He know what would happen when He created the Devil? Adam? Did He know that death, sickness, brutality, deception, and tyranny would occur? Of course He did! So why did He choose to go down this road?Continue reading “What Is God’s Mission?”

The Perfect Storm

(ESV) “In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head as he lay in his bed. Then he wrote down the dream and told the sum of the matter. Daniel declared, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven wereContinue reading “The Perfect Storm”

A Caution About The End

With the increasing global chaos, we’re hearing more about the return of Christ from church pulpits. I also believe He is coming soon, but what is soon to us isn’t soon to Him. Jesus, Himself, has given us much warning about being too quick to determine when He’ll return. He would say things like, “ButContinue reading “A Caution About The End”

Preparing For Jesus’ Return

“By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith” (Hebrews 11:7). “A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself; the simple pass onContinue reading “Preparing For Jesus’ Return”

Magog, Russia and Assyrian Archaeology

Like most, I was taught that Russia was associated with Magog in Ezekiel 38/39. That never felt right deep inside, and I only gave cursory thought to the possibility of Russia being the leader of the invasion. I’m not saying that Russia isn’t involved, only that it’s the leader. I recently came across an articleContinue reading “Magog, Russia and Assyrian Archaeology”

Taxes And Socialism

Lately I’ve been hearing, in the defense of socialism, that we pay taxes that go for the common good for such things as police, fire, and national defense. We’ll, the socialist may use taxes for their goals, but so do all governments. Taxes aren’t new with socialism. From the earliest dates known, taxes have beenContinue reading “Taxes And Socialism”

Why Is There A Great Tribulation?

Most in the Christian community has heard of the “great tribulation” that Jesus spoke of in Matthew chapter twenty-four. But why should there be one anyway? Why not just “end it” and let it be? Why the pain and heartache of a tribulation? Let’s consider seedtime and harvest. Seedtime and Harvest “Do not be deceived,Continue reading “Why Is There A Great Tribulation?”

What Were The Disciples Thinking?

“Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But he answered them, ‘You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.’As heContinue reading “What Were The Disciples Thinking?”
