A book titled The Jungle Grows Back for me, is an indicator of prophetic advancement, and can be used as an analogy for our own personal spiritual lives. These are my words, not the author’s, as I draw the analogy. The jungle represents the Babylonian system of human government; a system developed post-flood and is the underlying system throughout the four world-ruling kingdoms as revealed by the image of Daniel 2. From the reign of Nebuchadnezzar to the kingdoms existing at the return of … [Read more...] about The Jungle Grows Back

The Decline and Fall of the American Empire
Staff Preface: The article below by Steve McCann uses 3,000 years of historical data to enumerate six various stages in the rise and fall of empires. Rather than adopt the author’s political solutions, we only included the stages: A cursory examination of history reveals that the United States is mired in the same process that precipitated the collapse of the great empires of the past. The foibles and failures of human nature and their impact on the rise and fall of empires is amazingly … [Read more...] about The Decline and Fall of the American Empire
The Power of a Common Enemy
In February 2022, China and Russia unveiled a plan for a new world order. A Washington Examiner article stated in October 2023, that “China and Russia have outlined a vision of international relations anchored in their potential to reinforce each other in disputes with the United States and its allies while cooperating on an array of economic and diplomatic fronts.” Moscow and Beijing could now develop into an integrated challenge to American power.

It’s a Dark World
We can each provide a personal perspective of the world and current events. We form opinions each day as we try to take in the vast scale of all that is happening. Whatever your view, it is most probably influenced by a dark world. King David has an interesting insight into the working of an unconverted mind. It seems he was inspired to write about man’s wickedness as though he were seeing our day today: "Transgression (lawlessness) speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear … [Read more...] about It’s a Dark World
An End Time Indicator
In Matthew 24:12, the context of a statement by Christ is the time indicating Christ’s coming and the end of the age. There are two points that immediately stand out with this statement. First, we can know as a fact that lawlessness will increase. Second, love will grow cold as a result. We can easily acknowledge the first by observation of the world around us. That lawlessness is increasing is an absolute fact. Lawlessness is defined as, “illegality, that is, violation of law or … [Read more...] about An End Time Indicator
Why Israel?
The Bible is replete with the use of the word Israel but today it is confusing and often misunderstood. What is being referred to are the multiple nations that came from Abraham through his son Isaac and grandson Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel), and his 12 sons. But God's plan includes all people of all nations. Abraham's family was only the first step in God's amazing plan. So, why Israel? The Bible plainly says this about the nation of Israel: “For you are a holy people to the … [Read more...] about Why Israel?
The Prophetic Return of Christ
Our lives consist of and are measured by pivotal events and experiences that change our direction, our behavior. They can change our outlook on life in one way or another. Throughout history God has placed pivotal events upon humanity to shake us from the paradigms which allow us to justify our behavior, to define for ourselves what is good and evil. Some have developed a form of godliness but, whether knowing or unknowingly, deny the power and purpose of God as their Creator and … [Read more...] about The Prophetic Return of Christ
