In the previous posting I brought out the Biblical fact that God used the weekly 7th day Sabbath to prove (test) Israel to see if they loved and feared Him enough to obey His Law (Exo. 16:4,5) By choosing the Sabbath Law to determine who would make the spiritual cut, the Lord looked back to […]

In Luke 10:16 Jesus makes clear the Godhead’s attitude toward those who do not believe and obey Their Words. He stated Their feelings toward Scripture-rejecters in terms that a child can understand–to reject one or more Biblical Words is to DESPISE BOTH FATHER AND SON. No one studying this passage with a heart open to […]

It is impossible to overemphasize the importance of knowing, believing and obeying the Word of God as recorded in the Holy Bible. Nothing is more important in that we will all be judged by those Words as Jesus tells us in John 12:48. Here He emphasizes the fact that neither He nor the Father will […]

Every year Oxford Dictionaries selects a newly coined word or expression that best captures the social characteristic of the year. In 2016 the word was POST-TRUTH. The word means: “Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than personal emotion and belief.” My translation: “Truth is whatever […]

Though the descendants of the 10 tribes of Israel are unknown to most of the world, including themselves, the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi have remained a distinct group globally known as Jews, approximately 6 million (30%) of whom live in the land today known as Israel. The majority of the other 70% of […]

Question: What do the United States, Great Britain and Judah (called Israel today) have to do with the signs of the end times? Answer: Everything. This can be understood only by going back to Egypt where the Patriarch Jacob, whom God renamed Israel, has prophesied over his 12 sons. Now let us focus on those […]

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. Their meteoric rise was phenomenal in its speed […]

A Biblical sign that is now forming was foretold by the Lord to the Prophet Daniel. The sign has two major parts with other parts playing minor roles in the unfolding of the sign. In Daniel 11 we find the Lord introducing two entities whom He identifies as the “King(dom) of the North” and the […]
