One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how Christians are wowed by rapture- or tribulation-dating theories that present a dizzying array of information that appears to fit seamlessly. How do they not notice or care that one or more of the starting assumptions are flawed?
A logical presentation is worthless in and of itself. Every error that roils the church is logical. That is why they are successful. This is the genius of error. We need to focus on starting presuppositions. If the starting presuppositions are wrong, then the theory is wrong, no matter how precise the presentation seems to be.
Every theory, for instance, that counts 49-year Jubilee cycles is wrong before it leaves the gate. The Bible gives us a 50-year Jubilee cycle with two Sabbath years in a row to close the cycle.
The cool pattern proposed in various videos vanishes in hurry if you use the biblical Jubilee instead of a 49-year Jubilee. Assuming the same start date of 1406, counting seventy Jubilee cycles of 50 years each would push the start of the tribulation out to 2095, way out past our current era, and way out past where prophetic convergence is pointing. And the cool string of events on Jubilee years would vanish, though other cool events would likely fit the new Jubilee pattern, and more could be made to fit by fudging dates one or two years β which is par for the course.

God's gracious plan of redemption was formulated in eternity past and began to be played on the world scene when Adam sinned. God loved the world so much that in His goodness and grace He purposed to save ALL Who would trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins. We are saved by grace through faith in Christ and it is fitting that the final sentence in God's book of redemption should be:
"The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all. Amen."

God did not send a confusing message. He gave one, single, unified message of hope through the prophets of Israel. As great world kingdoms rose to power and declined into obscurity, one single, integrated, supernaturally inspired message of hope was conveyed to humanity through the chosen prophets of God's ancient people, Israel, for long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets.
But the sentence explodes into the most astonishing truth of all: "In these last days he has spoken to us by His Son, Whom He appointed Heir of all things, and through Whom also He made the universe."
Having been spoken to in the Scriptures, by firstly the prophets and then by Jesus Himself, should we not hunger for the Word and study to show ourselves approved, to our benefit and his glory?

Who Are "These My Brethren"?
In Matthew 25, in the account of the sheep and goats judgment, we read about a third group of human beings that many find mysterious---"the least of these my brethren." Who is this mysterious class? In this brief video we answer this question from the contextβ¦

When David recognised his own lustful sin, he offered his own sacrifice of a broken spirit and a contrite heart, and like David, we know that God will not despise such an acceptable sacrifice. But like David, we too must approach the throne of grace in brokenness of heart and contrition of spirit, for such is well~pleasing and acceptable to our holy God.

ο»Ώο»ΏA faithful missionary couple returned on the same ship that brought Teddy Roosevelt home from a safari in Africa.
Crowds and reporters clamored to see Roosevelt;
no one was on hand to welcome the missionaries.
ο»Ώο»ΏIn reviewing their arrival, the husband was somewhat bitter:
"It isn't fair. Roosevelt comes home from a hunting trip and the entire country comes out to meet him. We get home after years of service and nobody was here to meet us."
ο»Ώο»ΏHis wife had the right answer: "Honey, we aren't home yet."

May we never take for granted the sacrifices-the commitments- that others have made so that we might enjoy the blessings of the Gospel today!

This was the most important day of Pilate's life. His hour of grace had come. The King of Love was teaching Pilate that everyone who responds to His voice and accepts that Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, will not be condemned. But the one who rejects the Truth of His Word is condemned already.
Did Pilate respond to Christ's offer of salvation? Maybe! Did he hear the truth and believe on the Lord Jesus? Maybe! The more important question is have we heard His voice and are we willing to testify to the truth? As Paul wrote in his first letter to Timothy: "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners."

Solomon's directive to his son, was to pay heed to his own words of instruction and not to forsake the teaching of his mother ~ and this should be a direction that is heeded by every youngster, both boys and girls. But it should also be something to which parents pay heed... for it is as parents train their children in the way that they should go that they have the Lord's assurance that when they are old, they will not depart from it.

The death, burial, and Resurrection of Christ not only secured our justification by faith but also it assures us that we will be delivered from any future wrath of God. His death was the means that declared us righteous in the sight of God, and His life guarantees that our life in Him is eternal, and it is all by grace through faith in Christ.

Jesus Himself was life and light, and He came to conquer sin and death and to terminate its reign over the lives of whosoever would believe on His name. Praise the Lord that the last Adam chose to come to earth, to die on the Cross for the sins of all humanity, and to become a life~giving Spirit for all who believe in Him.
