For good or ill, religion is the most powerful force on earth. More people have been killed, more children have been left parentless, more widows have been created, more treasure has been expended in order to please “GOD” than for any other reason. Religion has caused human beings to do things that defy even their […]

I have attempted to declare though this website that God has a dual-facited relationship with mankind consisting of blessing and cursing. This cause and effect program is described in Deuteronomy 28 where He told Israel–His pattern nation–that He would bless them if they obeyed Him and curse them if they did not. What, many wonder, […]

The expression “moral equivalency” is being bandied around these days primarily in reference to Christianity and Islam, though it sometimes involves other religions. When moral equivalency is invoked in a situation it indicates that each of the religions under consideration is equal in value and quality to the other religion(s) involved–one is not superior to […]

God knows that when good and evil abide together, evil overcomes good–LEAVEN LEAVENS THE LOAF. The heathen will overcome their American hosts by first becoming tolerable to them, then acceptable to them, then equal to them. Whatever they believe and whatever they worship will become “right.” “Who am I to judge?” will become the church’s […]

As the debate concerning Middle Eastern refugees being brought into this country heats up, some in the so-called “Christian community” are accusing those who resist the immigration flow of being “haters” and “bigots”–of not having love for the suffering masses. The accusation invariably involves the accuser quoting Scripture which he/she has either misinterpreted, misunderstood or […]

Before the third woe (last trumpet) sounds we learn that two men, called “witnesses,” have been preaching God’s Word for the past 3 1/2 years. These messengers came on the scene at the same time that God’s church went into “her place” to wait out the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord. It […]

Now we come to the opening of the seventh seal. As each previous seal was opened John recorded what he saw happening on the earth–symbolic signs that represented actual world events occurring in time-order. Now let us read what he recorded following the opening of the seventh seal: “And when He had opened the seventh […]

As this study nears its end we find ourselves approaching the seventh seal whose unsealing will reveal what is to take place during the coming DAY OF THE LORD–the year-long period during which God will inflict His wrath on sinning man. For the past 2 1/2 years (the Great Tribulation) Satan has been pouring out […]

At this point let us look at something else Jesus said concerning the events to take place just prior to His return. “And THIS gospel of the kingdom (of God) shall go forth as a witness unto all nations, and THEN the end shall come” (Mat. 24:14). Here he presents us with another sign identifying the […]

As we prepare to witness the opening of the fifth seal Jesus warns us about what will happen just prior to the revealing of what lies beneath it–PERSECUTION. In Matthew 24:9 He warns: “Then they shall deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations (people) […]
