We are not called to live in fear of the last days, we are called to live in hope.
As the world drifts further from God's truth and the stage continues to be set for the events Scripture foretells, believers should not be surprised. Jesus told us these things in advance so our faith would be strengthened, not shaken.
Our hope has never rested in governments, economies, or the culture around us. Our hope is in Christ, and His promises never fail.
Stay grounded in God's Word.
Live faithfully.
Share the gospel while there is still time.
And keep looking up, because our redemption is drawing near.
"Wherefore comfort one another with these words." - 1 Thessalonians 4:18

The Bible was written on three continents.
Asia.
Africa.
Europe.
In three languages.
Hebrew.
Aramaic.
Greek.
By more than 40 different men:
Shepherds.
Kings.
Prophets.
Fishermen.
A tax collector.
A doctor.
A tentmaker.
Written in palaces and prisons.
In deserts and cities.
In freedom and in exile.
Across roughly 1,500 years.
66 books.
One continuous story:
Creation.
Fall.
Redemption.
Yeshua.
Most of these writers never met.
No committee planned it.
No human editor stitched it together.
Now look at this image.
It visualizes tens of thousands of cross-references throughout the Bible. Every arc connects one passage of Scripture to another - sometimes written hundreds of years apart.
Genesis connects to the Prophets.
The Prophets connect to the Gospels.
The Gospels connect to the Epistles.
And it all comes together in Revelation.
The Bible opens with the Tree of Life in Genesis and closes with the Tree of Life in Revelation.
Different writers.
Different centuries.
Different cultures.
Yet one voice.
How?
Because behind the human hands was a divine Author.
โAll Scripture is given by inspiration of Godโฆโ
2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV)
Men held the pens.

Can a Christian who commits suicide still go to heaven?
Yes.
Suicide is a tragic sin, but it is not the unpardonable sin. A believer's salvation rests on Christ's finished work, not on one final sin or whether they have the opportunity to confess it.
The unforgivable sin is persistent, hardened unbelief. A final rejection of the Holy Spirit's testimony concerning Jesus Christ.
Believers can commit suicide. It's not a pleasant fact. But a tragic death does not undo a genuine salvation.
Salvation is by grace through faith, not by maintaining a perfect record until death. If our salvation depended on dying after confessing every sin, none of us could have any assurance.
Our hope is in Christ's finished work, not our final sin.

I am often informed by folks of 6th/7th seal rapture advocates that the 24 elders are OT saints, that the souls under the altar are praying for judgment to begin, and that the white horse of the first seal is the start of the gospel. This simply can't be. Consider the following observations from the Bible.
The 24 elders cannot be the OT saints who rose from the dead at the time of the cross. The 24 are rewarded (thrones, crowns, white resurrection robes) which tells us they have already been resurrected before the 1st seal is opened. The OT saints are raised at the second coming.
The complaint of the souls under the altar does not prove that wrath hasn't started. It only proves that wrath hasn't risen to full crescendo and finished the job. The signs in the heavens (sun, moon, stars, planets) occur at the second coming, at the time of Armageddon (see Joel 2, 3, Is. 13 for example). These waiting souls must wait for full revenge while the judgment of God slowly increases in degree until it explodes in absolute wrath at the second coming.
The white horse can't be the beginning of the gospel. This is playing with Scripture and ignoring details which forbid the notion. First of all, Revelation was written about 60 years after the beginning of the gospel. Secondly, the church age is "the things that are" (Rev. 1:19), while the rapture, tribulation, the seals, trumpets, bowls, etc. are "the things which shall be afterwards" (Rev. 1:19), which is meta tauta in the Greek. Revelation 4:1, after the letters to the 7 churches, begins with that very meta tauta. It should be noted that the fuller Greek grammars, lexicons, and commentaries point out that meta with the genitive indicates association and meta with the accusative indicates sequence. The events beginning in chapter four follow the church age in chapters two and three.

The Seals: Before or After the Rapture?
Scripture gives us three compelling reasons why the church must be in heaven before the first seal is opened.
FIRST, the church is already in heaven in Revelation 4-5, before the Lamb opens the first seal. The 24 elders represent the redeemed, resurrected, and rewarded saints, having been purchased by the blood of Christ and wearing crowns.
SECOND, Scripture identifies the Antichrist as the preeminent sign that the world has entered the Day of the Lord. This is distinct from the Rapture. In 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, Paul contrasts our gathering together unto Christ with the Day of the Lord. The revelation of the Antichrist is the preeminent sign of the latter.
THIRD, the great delusion of the Antichrist is itself an act of divine judgment. Those who โreceived not the love of the truthโ are given over to strong delusion because they rejected the truth.
The conclusion is straightforward: the first seal introduces the Antichrist and the judgments of the 70th week. The church is not on earth waiting for those judgments. She is already in heaven.
The entire 70th week is a time of judgment.
The seals are not the church's judgment. They are a demonstration of wrath and judgment.

Does โthe last trumpetโ in 1 Corinthians 15:52 have to be the seventh trumpet of Revelation?
Eschatos does not always mean last in the sense of last in a series. This is where much of the confusion lies.
Eschatos also means "end" or "boundary," and was used in Greek for a river or mountain range that marked the border of a nation, the end of a ship, a final exam or test even if there were no tests or exams before.
The church's eschatos trumpet could be the final trumpet even if there were no prior trumpets, because the trumpet marks the end of the church age.
