    Prophecy: Salvation Promised to Isaac’s Spiritual Descendants

    Prophecy: Salvation Promised to Isaac’s Spiritual Descendants

    The purpose of all the Old Testament prophecies, is to build faith in us. Line upon line, verse upon verse, a pattern of promises that we can base our life upon. When we come to the New Testament and read the testimony of those who wrote concerning the events surrounding Jesus Christ, we see that each of these Old Testament predictions are fulfilled in His birth, life, death, and resurrection. When God makes a promise, men may either believe what He has said and trust Him, or they can reject God’s what He has said. For those who believe, and live their lives for Jesus, they are acceptable to God based on their trust. Salvation is really just that simple.

    I have often heard it said by people who have read or studied a doctrine or particular verse in the Bible, that they do not like to read any other book or commentary that brings up a subject that they have already studied. I suppose their thinking is that it is rather boring to go over the same subject again and again, rather than to learn something new. It would only be necessary to read the Bible once, if we could grasp everything that we read the first time. Fortunately, even after a lifetime of studying the Bible, there is always something new to be gleaned from every verse of the Bible, regardless of how many times we read it. After studying and teaching the Bible for nearly 30 years, nearly every time I read a verse again, I gain a new insight and depth that I had not understood before.

    Prophecy: The Messiah Will Come from Jacob’s Son

    Prophecy: The Messiah Will Come from Jacob’s Son

    The fact that Jacob is able to see into the future, as the Lord gives him the prophetic ability to see what will happen in “the last days”, is truly amazing. This once deceitful, conniving, self centered man, has been now transformed into God’s man. His former name “Jacob”, the liar, who was guided by his own flesh and impulses, is now called by God “Israel”, one who is guided by God’s Spirit.

    Genesis 32:28 And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.”

    In Genesis chapter 48, we see Jacob now old and nearly blind. His physical senses are greatly diminished, but his spiritual abilities are greatly enhanced by God. Being nearly blind, he asks his son Joseph to come before him, in advance of the other brothers, to pronounce his prophetic word for Joseph’s two son’s Ephraim and Manasseh.

  • The Last Days: A Correct View of the Rapture

    The Last Days: A Correct View of the Rapture

    How important is it that we continually teach the doctrine of “The Rapture of the Church?” According to Jesus, is one of the most important doctrines that we MUST continually study, meditate on, and continue to look forward to.

    One of the points that critics of the Rapture claim, is that “The Rapture is not taught in the Bible”. When I hear someone say this, I am always amazed. I know that they didn’t come to this conclusion by reading and studying the Bible themselves. This opinion came by what they heard someone else say or teach. If we simply read the Bible we will come away with the conviction that Jesus will return for His church at a time just prior to the beginning of the seven year Tribulation.

    The description of this event found in Paul’s epistle to the church at Thessalonica, is clear that the Lord will return for His church at time appointed by Him.

    Prophecy: The Messiah Preceded by a Forerunner

    Prophecy: The Messiah Preceded by a Forerunner

    The Forerunner of the Messiah will prepare the hearts of the people to receive Him.

    Old Testament Prediction:

    Malachi 4:6 And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

    New Testament Fulfillment:

    Luke 1:16-17 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, “to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

    Are Increases in Natural Disasters a Sign of Jesus Return?

    Are Increases in Natural Disasters a Sign of Jesus Return?

    Whatever your opinion is of the occurrences of natural disasters, the data regarding the marked increase in frequency and intensity is compelling. It is not a coincidence that this data runs parallel to Jesus prediction that these natural events would indicate to the residents of earth that His supernatural return was near. In fact, the entire purpose of the 3,5oo0 prophetic predictions found in the 66 books of the Bible, of which over 3,00o have already been fulfilled with 100 precision and accuracy, is to prove to the reader that the Bible is a supernatural document from outside the domain of time. The reason that Jesus told us there would be an increase in natural disasters just prior to His return, was to prepare us so that we would not be caught off guard.

  • Good Friday: What Jesus Felt the Day He Died

    Good Friday: What Jesus Felt the Day He Died

    There were at least 21 different laws that were violated in conducting these 6 trials throughout the night against Jesus. The following are seven of the most important:

    No legal transactions, including a trial, could be conducted at night.
    It was illegal for judges to participate in the arrest of the accused. (John 18:3 John 18:28)
    They struck Jesus during the trials: It was illegal to strike the accused during a trial. The use of violence during the trial was apparently unopposed by the judges. (John 18:22,23)
    In a Jewish court, the accused assumed to be innocent, until proved guilty by two or more witnesses. The Jews failed to find two witnesses who could agree on what Jesus had done. (Mark 14:59 Matt 18:63)
    When it was discovered that the witnesses had disagreed on their testimony, the prisoner should have been released, and all charges dropped. (Mark 14:56-59)
    A guilty verdict was rendered against Jesus without any evidence. (John 18:30)
    The voting process to condemn Jesus was illegal. It should have been by roll call, with the youngest voting first. Here they all voted together at the same time. (Matthew 26:66)
    Although the Jewish leadership clearly violated their own laws, Jesus never once opened His mouth to defend Himself. Amazingly, Isaiah predicted that this would happen more than 600 years before Jesus was born.

    Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth.

    Prophecy: The Messiah’s Body, Prepared For You

    Prophecy: The Messiah’s Body, Prepared For You

    In order for God to be able to justify the sacrifice that Jesus was desiring to make of his body for all of man’s sin, Jesus would have to take the body of a human being and live amongst us as one of us. The old testament book of Ruth leaves us with a clear example of the fact that only a close relative has the right to be the redeemer of a family member. In order for Jesus to offer the sacrifice of his life, the Father prepared a body for him before the foundation of the world. Jesus is often spoken of as “The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world”.

    Revelation 13:8 “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”

  • 1 Trillion Euro Bailout for Europe, Signs of Antichrist

    1 Trillion Euro Bailout for Europe, Signs of Antichrist

    The recently announced bailout of Spain and several other european countries who are in a desperate financial crisis, is the next step up the ladder to the introduction of the coming antichrist.

    According to the old testament prophecies regarding the coming of the world leader who will emerge during a global financial crisis, that introduction may be just around the corner. This world leader will be seen as a “savior” of the financial catastrophe that the leading countries in Europe have gotten themselves into. He will come at first with a peace plan for Israel and the Arab nations. On the wings of peace, he will exalt himself to the position of God and command the world to worship him. He will be a great military leader who is able to unite the armies of the world together, to fight a combined effort during the “Battle of Armageddon”. This battle will take place north of Jerusalem in the Valley of Megiddo, where many other great battles of history have taken place.

  • The Prophecy of “Limited Time” For Salvation

    The Prophecy of “Limited Time” For Salvation

    In the old testament, the Lord described a time period in which He would accept man’s repentance and turning to the Messiah’s sacrifice for his salvation. That time period is not forever, nor will the Lord wait any longer than the lifespan of any man. If a person should die without receiving the Messiah’s sacrifice as the payment for their sins, this person will be lost forever, with no hope of redemption.

    Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

    The Grace of God, though it is far reaching, long and with great patience, it does have a limit. God will not “strive” with man over his sin and need for salvation forever.

    The time period in which God will hear a sinners repentance, and plea for salvation, is now, before any of us die, before the Lord Jesus returns to make final judgment on the world. If anyone should be obstinate and refuse the Lord’s generous offer of forgiveness, there will come a time when it will be too late, and there will be no right of appeal.

  • The Relevance of Knowing Bible Prophecy in the Last Days

    The Relevance of Knowing Bible Prophecy in the Last Days

    In Alexandria Egypt, 70 Hebrew scholars were commissioned to translate the books of the old testament from Hebrew, into the Greek language, so that the Jews of the world could read their own Bible. These 70 scholars is where the term “Septuagint” (70) came from. So named for the 70 scholars who oversaw the translation from Hebrew to Greek.

    This translation was made about 285 B.C.. Today we have many, many, copies of the Septuagint in our possession that contains all of the books of the Bible from the old testament that are identical to our current Bible today. All of the books that contain these 365 old testament prophecies in my new book “365Prophecies”, that is due out soon, are a part of the Greek Septuagint that was translated in 285 B. C.

    This means that we know for certain that all of the old testament books and the predictions made in these 365 prophecies, were made at least before the date 285 B. C. The fact is, we know from history that the prophets who wrote these predictions, such as Isaiah, who wrote 131 of the 365 old testament prophecies, wrote them more than 600 years before Jesus was born.

    What Time is it in Heaven?

    What Time is it in Heaven?

    What is the difference between the measurement of time here on Earth, and the way that time is measured in Heaven?

    On Earth, the seconds, minutes, hours and days are measured “Linearly” Each moment occurs one after the other, with the beings on the planet living within the unfolding of those moments.

    In Heaven, everything has already taken place.

    If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you are already there in heaven with all of the redeemed, living forever with the Lord. All the events of the Bible have come to a close. The events of the last days that Bible Prophecy students study and watch, have all been concluded. All the things that God has promised in His word, have already been fulfilled. There is nothing remaining that needs to be completed in the total plan of God.

  • Signs of the “Last Days”: A Departure From the Faith

    Signs of the “Last Days”: A Departure From the Faith

    The Last Days will be characterized by a great departure from the Christian faith, with many who were formerly believers, falling away from Jesus. Paul wrote to the Christians at Thessalonica that this would be one of the ultimate “signs” of Jesus arrival to remove the church from the earth, and the beginning of the seven year Tribulation.

    Paul warned: “That day” (the Day of the Lord), will not come unless the falling away (Greek: “Apostasia”, Departure from the faith) occurs first”.

    Reent books by authors such as Kenneth Daniels, who claims to be a former believer and missionary in Africa, but left the Christian faith, are an example of just such a departure that Paul was writing about.

  • The Signs of Jesus Return

    The Signs of Jesus Return

    The purpose of Bible prophecy is so that we might know that the Bible is not just another book penned by men, but a supernatural document with it’s source from outside time and space. The Bible is unique in that it makes predictions of the future with such detail and precision, that the slightest error would make any one of those prophecies unreliable. In over 2,500 Biblical prophecies, every single minute detail has been completed with precision and accuracy. The odds of any book being able to predict over 2,5o0 events in advance with 100 percent accuracy, is beyond the possibility of chance. The certainty of the fulfillment of these events already predicted and already fulfilled, gives confidence to the remaining 1,000 prophetic predictions that are yet to be fulfilled. If the Bible has been perfectly accurate so far, it is certain that the events spoken of describing the last days before Jesus returns, most certainly will also be fulfilled accurately. The following is a short list of some of those prophetic events already fulfilled, to be fulfilled and in the process of being fulfilled.

    This article and the importance of the details of this article, are the reason that I started Bible Prophecy Update. So that you might realize that the Lord of the Universe has a plan that He has been unfolding for thousands of years, and that plan includes His desire to make Himself known to you. As you read, study and become familiar with the events of Bible prophecy, you will realize that the Lord is who He claims to be. That there is a God who is above all creation and who loves every human being equally and with great fervor. When we failed to be what He had created us to be and the defect of sin spread to all human kind, He took it upon Himself to become one of us, and give His life in exchange for all of ours. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ on a Roman cross 2,000 years ago, paid the price all of us owed for our own individual and collective sins, forever. If you will place your complete trust in what Jesus has done for you at the Cross, and accept Jesus as your own Savior, you will be cleansed of your total sin and obtain eternal life.

    When Jesus returns next, it will not be physically to the earth, but to the atmosphere above earth, from where He will call out of the earth all those who have already come into a personal relationship with Him and have accepted His sacrifice for their sins. (1 Thessalonians 4:17)

  • Antichrist’s Identity: He who comes in the name of Allah

    Antichrist’s Identity: He who comes in the name of Allah

    Daniel 7:25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time.

    Part of the identity of the world ruler who shall assume a position of absolute power during the last seven years of the Tribulation, is that he will have the authority to “Change Times and law”. The meaning of this verse is given by the words within the verse. (Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law). The coming antichrist will change the calendar of months in order to facilitate the persecution of those who come into a relationship with Jesus Christ during the seven year Tribulation. This new world ruler will not allow anyone to worship anything other than his god. In order to enforce this rule, the calendar will be changed and the days prescribed for worship will be instituted and enforced by the antichrist’s enforcers.

    The Prophecy of a “Humble King”

    The Prophecy of a “Humble King”

    Matthew 21:5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”

    It was customary that when a magnificent king would make his entrance into a city, there would be great pomp and circumstance. Crowds were placed along the entrance route that were prepared for just such a great spectacle. No king ever came into a town or village in humility. The greatness of the king was underscored by the size of his entrance.

    Zechariah the prophet wrote approximately 700 years before Jesus was born. He predicted that the greatest of all Kings would appear in Jerusalem, not with great spectacle, but in humility and simplicity. He would not arrive as most conquering kings, on a great stallion, but instead in the back of an unbroken foal of a donkey.

    Whenever a king would arrive in a city on the back of a donkey, he was signaling that his arrival was in peace. When he came to conquer, he rode on the back of a great horse.

    As Jesus arrives in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, April 2, 32 A. D., he did so in perfect fulfillment of Zechariah’s prophecy. The people who had gathered at the entrance to Jerusalem, held palm branches to be waved at the arriving king, customary for that day. As Jesus makes his entrance into Jerusalem, for the first time in his three year ministry, He allows Himself to be proclaimed as “The Messiah, the Son of David”, in fulfillment of all the old testament prophecies. Up to that day, Jesus would not allow pressure from even His disciples, to announce Himself as the promised Savior. Jesus came to fulfill the prophecies about the coming Savior and there was an appointed day for that arrival and announcement. He would not be moved from that objective by the pressures of any man.

  • The End of All Flesh: The Rise of the New Age

    The End of All Flesh: The Rise of the New Age

    The Bible describes the timing of this event as being the beginning of a period of seven years of Tribulation. Daniel chapter 11, and 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, indicate that a new world ruler will appear on the scene that will bring peace and calm to a world shattered by news of the disappearance of so many.

    According to New Age philosophy, this world leader will also appear on the earth during the last days. He is referred to as the “Maitreya”, who will announce himself as the “Christ”.

    The Bible describes this coming leader who is hailed as the “savior”, as being a “false Christ”, or “antichrist”.

    During the last seven years of the current age, the Bible describes this false Christ as drawing most of the world into the worship of him as their God.

    According to the authors of New Age doctrine, those who have disappeared during the Rapture, will be those who would have rebelled against this new Christ. New Age leader Ruth Montgomery, describes their New Age belief that the Messiah cannot appear on the earth until these troublesome ones have been removed, so that the earth is prepared for his coming. Those who are removed will be sent to another planet where they will be reprogrammed in their thinking. apparently this answer will satisfy most of the world population and they will hail this new leaders as the answer to all of man’s problems.

    It will be the rise and pinnacle of the New Age movement that will eventually lead to the removal of the true church and the beginning of the seven year tribulation. The world view of New Age philosophy is that the planet is being prepared for a coming Christ and the uniting of the whole world under one government, one financial system, and one religious system, headed by one man.

    The Final Kingdom of this World

    Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”

    News every morning reminds us that this present world cannot continue under it’s current path for much longer. Global financial crisis, sin abounding, the hearts of many growing cold. Man is not getting better, more sophisticated and refined, he is increasingly becoming a debased creature with all restraint being cast off. As with many kingdoms before those presently on the earth, who by their inability to keep social morality controlled, gradually degraded themselves to the point where the were subdued. Not by any foreign enemy who crossed their borders with an invading army, but from within, by the collapse of social morals.

    World Financial Markets in Collapse, Preparations for the Antichrist

    On Wednesday, the United States stock market plummeted 389 point, or a 3.2% drop in value, after recent news of Europe’s financial crisis was announced. Italy, one of the largest economies in Europe, is also experiencing major debt problems, adding to the list of other European nations in major financial difficulties.

    According to experts, Italy has a public debt of over 2.5 Trillion, or 120 percent of their Gross Domestic Product. There is wide spread fear that Italy will also not be able to meet their financial commitments. Greece, Ireland and Portugal have already experienced similar financial problems, thought their economies are much smaller.

    Italy is a major player in the European economy because so many different banks hold’s their debt, and because their debt level is so high. All of the combined abilities of banks in Europe, do not have the capacity to bail out Italy from her debt pinnacle , making for a frightening scenario in the future.
