Prophecy Central: Meditate on the Truth! 3/22/2023 Many years ago I read “Sit Walk Stand” by Watchman Nee. The book taught the outline of the book of Ephesians, focusing on our rest in Jesus (sit) always preceded our lifestyle (walk). The teaching focused on the pattern in the Bible; God giving us the promises before the commands and laws. In my Greek classes in graduate school they called this the indicative-imperative pattern of teaching. Indicative

Prophecy Update: Deception at an all time high! 3/15/2023 “See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, and not according to Christ.”  Colossians 2:8 We live during a time of deception. Jesus warned us that deception would be one of the hallmarks of evil governments, false teachers, prophets, and the end times. The increase of

Prophecy Update: Jerusalem, history and the Feast of Purim. 3/9/2023 “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”  Luke 21:28 The prophetic scriptures regarding the last days reveal a pattern. The pattern is like a woven fabric. When Jesus told us to ‘look up’ He was referring to the pattern of prophetic events. When we see all of these things happening then we know

Prophecy Update: Magog and Ukraine 3/1/2023 Ezekiel 38-39 tells us about a future war between Russia and Israel. Can the war in Ukraine be setting up that war? There are several factors of the Ukraine-Russia war that are foundational to the future biblical war. The list of factors includes geography, military doctrine, history, and timing.  “Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal,

Prophecy Update: WW3 and Military Unpreparedness! 2/8/2023 As you know, I am convinced that WW2 is a pattern for what is going to happen in the future wars we face. The losers of the war, the Japanese, Germans, and Italians killed more people than the winners of the war. Of the 65 million people killed in the war, the majority were civilians. Only 20% of the people killed in the war were soldiers which means

Prophecy Update: The Rapture! 2/1/2023 The new movie, “Left Behind, The Rise of Antichrist” has caused a stir. First, the movie is a remake from the original Left Behind movie 23 years ago. This was intended to introduce a new generation to the concept of the rapture. Second, I found that many of my students do not understand the rapture. Therefore, I would like to take the opportunity to teach on the rapture so that

Prophecy Update: The Decline of the USA and Bible Prophecy. 1/25/2023 Many have attempted to find the USA in Bible prophecy and many have failed. I tell everyone that the USA is in Bible prophecy only when the Bible speaks about all of the nations doing something. For instance, in the last days all of the nations will turn against Jesus, Israel, and fight over Jerusalem. A famous verse in this regard comes from the

Prophecy Update: The Temple: Where? 1/12/2023 What if the temple mount is not the real location of the temple? What if the first two temples were in the City of David? When I was in Jerusalem in 2014, I was confronted with a problem as I stood at the foot of the temple mount on the south side, under the shadow of the Al Aqsa Mosque. When I realized from our guide that the Gihon

Prophecy Update: Mind Control 1/5/2023 There is a battle for the hearts and minds of the people in America. The battle is highlighted in many books by Christian authors. These authors mostly concentrate on the spiritual battle; the battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil. The scriptures are clear when we are commanded to:  ‘take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.’  2 Cor.10:5 To take every thought captive, we have to

Prophecy Update: Tie between Russian Ukraine war and the assassination of JFK! The United States since WW2, has used under cover military assassination teams to protect the country. During WW2 the United States started the Office of Strategic Services which is the pre-CIA organization responsible for what they call “Tertia Optio.” This concept replaces war with guerilla warfare, a way that the United States can conduct covert warfare legally. The reasoning for target killing, assassination,
