Prophetic Proof

by

We know we are at the end of the dispensation of grace for specific reasons. A number of these come to mind. Evil men and seducers are growing worse, as the Apostle Paul forewarned. The time has come when “they”–meaning religionists who claim to know Christ but do not–will not “endure sound doctrine.” All of Paul’s “perilous times” prophecies are in view, as we have dissected many times. False accusers, for example, are in our daily headlines, with lies being told for political gain or just to heap hatred upon ideological enemies. There is a denial that God should be found anywhere in humanistic …

The Benefit of Studying Biblical Prophecy  Part 2 

by

Prophecy – Signs Tuesday, May 22, 2018 Steve Schmutzer In my prior installment of this topic, I ruefully noted the not-so-uncommon reaction too many Christians have to studying Biblical prophecy. As I clarified, it’s often an unsupportive response that is one part sarcasm, two parts arrogance, and altogether a disrespect of God’s divine Word. If such people would study their Bible with the reverence and teachable attitude they most need, they would be arrested by the words of 2 Peter 3:3-4.

In the Fullness of Time

by

If we want a full and abundant life, we should turn to the One who created it. In the Fullness of Time GALATIANS 4:4-5 4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, 5 so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. In eternity past, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit planned and created heaven and earth. Yet even before Adam breathed his first breath, the Lord knew sin would enter the world, causing mankind to …

Question 16: Do the four horseman of the Apocalypse have names?

by

Question 16: Do the four horseman of the Apocalypse have names? Answer: The four horsemen of the Apocalypse do not have names, and their description in the book of Revelation pertains to the nature of their judgments rather than to their personal names. The first rider, who comes forth conquering and to conquer, represents the Antichrist. He will be a world leader during the tribulation. The second rider brings on a world war because he is a assigned “to take peace from the earth.” The third horseman brings on a worldwide famine. The fourth horseman is assigned to destroy 25% …

HE ALONE IS WORTHY

by

If today we were to look into heaven at all of its marvelous characteristics, there is one that stands out from all the others. REVELATION 5:12 __________________________________________________________ “In a loud voice they were saying: ‘Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain…’ “ HE ALONE IS WORTHY If today we were to look into heaven at all of its marvelous characteristics, there is one that stands out from all the others. The glory of heaven is not its beauty, its safety or its peace, but it is the Person of Jesus Christ Himself. What makes heaven so wonderful is that it …
