Perhaps the Book of the Prophet Zephaniah is skipped over by some who would rather not hear its proclamations of judgment: judgment on Judah (Zeph 1); judgment on the Gentile nations (Zeph 2:4-15); judgement on Jerusalem (Zeph 3:1-7); judgment on the nations: “All the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.” (Zeph [...]

We confess this frequently at my church: “Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.” These are foundational Christian beliefs. Do you believe Christ is coming again? Many,many Scriptures reference the Lord’s Coming. Some of these just reference the “Day” or the “Revelation” but are included to show how foundational the Second Coming [...]

Having just last night watched ”The Book of Eli”, which I highly recommend (though maybe not for children due to violence and some inappropriate language used by the lawless ones), I am so thankful for the Word of God! The Word of God is ”sharper than a two-edged sword” (Heb 4:12) (Eph 6:17) and defeats evil. If you need victory in your life, learn to use the sword the Lord has so graciously given us – His Truth!
Matt 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. -

Yes, I think that these Scriptures establish a pattern that points to continuing significance and ultimate fulfillment: Romans 15:4; Col 2:16 & 17; 1 Peter 1:12; 1 Cor 10:11. Also since Jesus Christ has not returned yet ”in like manner” as he ascended (Acts 1:11), His prophecies in Matthew 24-25 decidely have a double fulfillment [...]

I agree that Antiochus is a type – a type of anti-christ as was Titus. Jesus prophesied of Titus, but further there is an ultimate fulfillment in another Anti-christ that will precede Jesus’ Second Coming because in Matthew 24:15-30 and Mark 13:14-26 these monumental events are linked together. Indeed the Book of Revelation is ultimately [...]

After my quick foray into Daniel chapter nine, I’d like to return to Matthew 24 (and parallel passages). Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14 both record Jesus quoting the “abomination of desolation” spoken of by the prophet Daniel. Both authors also make an aside saying “whoever reads, let him understand.” Since Matthew and Mark are not [...]

In Matthew 24:1-2, Mark 13:1-2, and Luke 12:5-6, Jesus tells His disciples (and maybe others) that the temple in Jerusalem would be destroyed. They use the word buildings in the plural as the disciples discuss the beauty of the temple, so I believe they are referring to the entire temple complex and not just the [...]

Revelation 1:7 Someday, every eye will see Christ Jesus the King! Some of us will see Him as Our Blessed Hope (Titus 2:13); others will squirm, trying in vain to hide from His majesty. Surely we’ll all be in awe! Acts 1:9-11 The apostles of Christ had a foretaste of Christ’s return. They actually saw [...]

“Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.” 1 John 2:18Do you think you can spot an antichrist spirit? If you know the real Jesus Christ, you should be able to discern the [...]

Interestingly, while I’ve been working on a post about the characteristics of the antichrist, I’ve had a few conversations lately with people who are reading books that propose that there is NO “the antichrist” . Please forgive me if I’ve been rather zealous on the topic, but you’ll see why I think this is an important issue. [...]
