One of the basic facts of church and national history concerns the modern day connection between ancient Israel, the United States, Great Britain and the nation that calls itself Israel. The world, including the religious world, does not understand this connection which explains the Lord’s treatment of those nations and the signs of the end […]

In the previous posting we learned that Jacob had officially given his spiritual name–“Israel”–to Joseph’s sons Ephraim and Manasseh. From that point onward the descendants of those two boys would carry the name “Israel” (Gen. 48:1-22; 49:1,22-26) and their descendants would be known to the world as “Israelites.” During his pre-death statement, Jacob prophesied that […]

Another sign leading up to the beginning of the Great Tribulation and the return of Jesus Christ 3 1/2 years later involves the rise and fall of the British Empire and the United States of America–the two most powerful and successful nations the world has ever seen.

The end-time sign–the establishment of the nation of Israel in 1948–was observable to anyone with an elementary knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. However, a most important sign produced by the Lord a decade earlier was, and continues to be missed by both the churched and the unchurched world.  Jesus prophesied this sign in Matthew 24:14 […]

By the time Jesus of Nazareth come on the scene the Roman Empire was in control of the Holy Land and would remain in control for many years thereafter. The Jews controlled nothing except the Temple in Jerusalem, and then only at the behest of the Romans who ruled every aspect of Jewish life they […]

Of late the world has watched as so-called “Mother Nature” poured out her wrath on mankind using such “natural” weapons as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, droughts, floods, wild fires, sink holes, mudslides, etc. by which she afflicts mankind with death and destruction.
