REV. 3:10 (paraphrase)
Because you have patiently suffered with me in the time of my patience (the church age), I will remove you from the planet prior to the time of trial (the tribulation) that I am bringing on the entire planet.

John Calvin warns us: “So great is the influence of preconceived opinion, that it brings darkness over the mind in the midst of the clearest light.”

When men plead uncertainty and freedom of opinion where the Scriptures speak clearly, there is a departure from the authority of Scripture. The liberals and the hyper-charismatics perfected this subtle undermining of the Bible. Sadly, in our day, many who profess to be evangelicals practice this subtle departure. God help us to tremble at the word of God, not trifle with it.

Coming to a future near you!

Chatting with some dear friends about prophecy and the current situation in Israel.

This situation will probably not be going away soon. This will very likely lead to pain in Southern Lebanon, followed by pain in Iran and Iranian positions in Syria.

There is some chatter that we are seeing Psalm 83 unfold before our eyes. I would point out that Psalm 83 involves nations while the current conflict involves terrorist organizations. This could evolve into the Psalm 83 War, but most likely it will set the stage for the Psalm 83 War.

The call for a day of global jihad on Friday October 13 is bone chilling. May God watch over America, Europe, Canada, Australia.

We appear to be on the home stretch of the race. May we all seek the Lord for renewed strength, vision, and faith. Things could get tough before they get AWESOME.

Prayers requested for a book project —- The Prewrath Rapture Demolished. Would love to have this done by the Orlando conference in in late February.

Livestream Bible study tonight (Oct 13) on Revelation 13 on YouTube at 8 pm Central time.

The freight train of apostasy will soon collide with the freight train of judgment. The collision will leave the world a pile of rubble and ashes, and the kingdom will be established in everlasting glory.

There is no going forward with the gospel or vital truth in this satanically-dominated world without opposition. Darkness hates light. Lies hate truth.

Those with the best uplook have the best outlook. Prophecy is the key to understanding the world we live in.

The greatest enemy of the devoted believer is not gross sin, the world, or the devil. It is his own ego. Don't get in the way of what the Lord is trying to do through you.

Here is a good rule of thumb. NEVER go down the conspiracy theory path for an explanation of an event unless it is the ONLY explanation that actually fits and explains the data. If mundane mistakes and oversights and lack of foresight explain the situation, then run with that and resist the conspiracy theory no matter how enticing it seems. Don't be an easy target for the adversary. One of the most successful conspiracies that Satan is deploying in the world is the proliferation of conspiracy-theory rabbit holes.

The conspiracy mentality and the date-setting mentality are both addictions. Men get a dopamine rush from these practices. And when one dopamine rush wears off, they chase the next one.

God help us to tremble at the word of God and to use our God-given reason in a manner that will past muster at the bema seat of Christ.
