Wars and Rumors of Wars

“The End is not here yet. But as every contraction—whether false or real—reminds the young couple that a baby is coming, so the events described by Jesus Christ remind us that He is returning, and maybe very soon.” - P&D
The Great End-Time Revival (Part 2)
Read Part 1.
Did you know that there will certainly be a future end-time spiritual revival upon this Earth? Jesus prophesied in Matt. 24:14, stating:
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
What will that look like during the days of the tribulation? Who will be the personalities that will be involved?

The Great End-Time Revival (Part 1)
It is indeed one of the great untold stories in all of the Bible—to say nothing of the prophetic future.
Did you know that a great end-time revival is promised in Holy Scripture, and that its impact will be such that it will push any previous so-called revivals or awakenings into the shadows forever?

Randy Alcorn reflects on his 2004 book on the New Earth/Heaven and shifting attitudes on the New Earth
Body
“I have noticed a striking difference when I speak to groups today….Despite the clear teaching of Scripture, the pushback against the New Earth used to be very strong, now it’s milder and some are totally onboard.” - Alcorn

You’ll Never Cancel Israel (Part 3)
As we conclude this short series, I’d like to try to unlock the meaning of an obscure phrase, found twice within the letters to the seven churches of Revelation. which has always intrigued me. The references are quite easy to remember, as they both end in the number nine.
Christ told “the church in Smyrna” (Rev. 2:8):

You’ll Never Cancel Israel (Part 1)
The Lord Jesus Christ made two startling announcements, through the Apostle John, to the recipients of the book of Revelation.
Speaking to His congregation at Smyrna, He stated: “I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan” (Rev. 2:9).
Then, He addressed the Philadelphian church regarding “those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie” (Rev. 3:9).

The Imminence of Death
Or perhaps better—the imminence of death as related to prophecy.
The Imminence of Death—note that I didn’t say The Death of Imminence—though some want to quash the latter. Death isn’t a nice subject. Yet it’s one which demands our attention. Barring the Lord’s return for His church—in whatever context we think that will be—we’ll all have to cross the Great River of Death at some point.

What is Over-Realized Eschatology? What’s the Problem with it?
Body
“Over-realized eschatology is an underlying hermeneutical assumption of prosperity-doctrine (health-and-wealth) teachers… permeates the eschatological expectations of NAR ‘apostles’ at one end of the theological spectrum, and pervades some sectors of politically-obsessed fundamentalists on the other end.” - Kenneth Berding

A Challenge to the Pre-Trib Rapture? (Part 2)
Read Part 1.
If we take a look at 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 we can try and track what the apostle is teaching:
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. (1 Thess. 4:13)
Paul’s concern is that the embattled believers at Thessalonica are not unaware of a certain doctrine concerning those saints who have passed since it will give them hope.
