If we aren’t willing to be wrong, we have little chance of being right. Humility is the doorway to truth. It’s hard to say, but for decades, I was wrong. The Word was right: “soon take place” “partner in the tribulation” “are about to suffer” “time is near / at hand” “do not seal up, […]

The danger of not reading prophetic descriptions of war in the Old Testament is the inability to recognize them in the New Testament. Swarms of locusts represent armored soldiers on horses. They did in the destruction of Babylon, as they did in the destruction of Jerusalem (earthquakes represent the shaking of powers that be). Here […]

For those who believe Jesus is the Son of God, how much weight should we give His words in forming our eschatological timelines? Matthew 10:23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the […]

In Acts 2, when Peter defends those said to be drunk, Luke writes that Peter ties Pentecost to the last days through the prophecy of Joel. So Pentecost happened in the last days according to Luke and Peter. This is surprising to us, but shouldn’t be, for the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of […]

Contrary to the uninspired “father of dispensationalism,” the cross was NOT the defeat of Christ and the victory of Satan. The Bible says the opposite: it was the VICTORY of Christ and the defeat of Satan. It was the whole point of His mission: a perfect life sacrificed to cover our sin and give us […]

Revelation is a book of trumpets and battles led by an anointed leader that results in the collapse of the walls of an idolatrous city and the taking of a promised kingdom by God’s people after 40 years of wondering in rejection. Sound familiar? It should. There was quite the foreshadowing in the Old Testament […]

Daniel was told to seal up his vision because the time was “not at hand.” John was told not to seal up the vision because the time was “at hand.” Daniel was written – 600 years before Revelation was written. 600 years was too long for God to consider it “at hand.” Let that sink […]

Jesus said He’d return after many of His disciples would die, but before all His disciples would die. If this doesn’t fit our eschatology, is Christ the problem, or are we? What should we seek to change? His words, or our views? Are we humble enough to go through the process of re-examination? There’s a […]

“Earth” does not always mean the whole globe. In prophetic literature, it means the land spoken of. Proof: Isaiah 24:21 – And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. Isaiah […]

Prophetic language needs to be recognized or crazy ideas can emerge. Heavens = governments, earth = general populace, stars falling from heaven = rulers falling from power. Granting the ability to speak or to give breath to = declares laws. Earth also = the subject land being spoken of, in which case the sea is […]
