Prophecy: Knowing the Future in Advance

When Paul began to address problems in the Church in Corinth, he clearly explained that the wisdom of God is a mystery, but that the things of God are revealed through His Holy Spirit.  Jesus Christ addressed this stating that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth and will tell us of things to come (John 16:13). So we have a combination of truth and "things to come" as an aspect of the Holy Spirit.  And Peter said that those who were given the Holy Spirit now have minds that … [Read more...] about Prophecy: Knowing the Future in Advance

Prophecy’s Relevance Today

As events in this world move along at a rapid pace, there’s an ever-growing interest in prophecy. We don’t want to get into the position of forcing parts of prophecy to come together to fit like a puzzle, but to take what is revealed to us by God, progressively putting them together to make an image that is factual according to scripture, not an interpretation of man.  Peter is a particularly good place to start: " knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private … [Read more...] about Prophecy’s Relevance Today

The Times of the Gentiles

The prophet Amos informed us that “God doesn’t do anything without first revealing His secrets to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7). Since God’s plan of salvation is central to messages of prophecy, it is important to look at the writings of the prophets within the context of any section of scripture.  Doing so tells us why a particular thing was said.    The knowledge imparted by prophecy is meant to be very motivational to those who are or who will be in a relationship … [Read more...] about The Times of the Gentiles

Why Western Values are Shifting

A British columnist who writes for The Times of London, recently wrote: “Why is so much of the political, cultural and business establishment meekly going along with the onslaught against normative western values and the repudiation of rationality itself? The answer lies in what’s been happening to the west over the past half century. The current culture wars reflect decades of cultural Marxist chickens coming home to roost. There’s been a revolutionary long march through the institutions aimed … [Read more...] about Why Western Values are Shifting

The Beast World Order

This year promises to be a difficult year if the last twelve months are any indication. It doesn’t appear that there’s going to be any let up in some of the catastrophic events that have been occurring. The message that God gave ancient Israel through Hosea resonates very well for Christians today.  It is a message that makes it quite easy to make a comparison between what ancient Israel was being told then and what we see around us today. Hosea gets a little specific, but very apropos … [Read more...] about The Beast World Order

Anticipating the Feast of Trumpets

How do we know that the Feast of Trumpets is related to Christ’s second coming? In ancient Israel, a trumpet or shofar was blown for a variety of reasons, to call an assembly for a festival or to gather the people together in the presence of the Lord. When God descended onto Mount Sinai and gave Israel the law, trumpets were blown to announce the arrival of God’s presence. Trumpets were also sounded in alarm and to call troops to battle, at the coronation of a king, and to declare the Jubilee … [Read more...] about Anticipating the Feast of Trumpets

The Lying Epidemic

The position of being separated from God leaves a person very exposed to the forces of destruction. Through the prophet Isaiah, God states, “But your iniquities have separated you from your God
” (Isaiah 59:2). Sin and God simply do not mix. Not that God doesn’t give space for sin to be repented of – He does. But when sin is a way of life, certain characteristics develop as a result. One of the main destroying forces that quickly develops is lying. “
 your lips have spoken lies 
 they trust … [Read more...] about The Lying Epidemic
