Major world events have occurred in the last 60 plus years that should give any person cause to seriously ponder Biblical end times prophecies. The most important, which we have already examined, is the re-birth of the nation of Israel in 1948 back in its original land.

the past, writers on this subject have conjectured that the Antichrist might possibly bring back the French guillotine in town squares across the globe to kill those who refuse to worship him. That was an educated guess, but as today's events unfold, and as we see the true identity of the Antichrist, as a dedicated Muslim, fulfilling not only Biblical, but also Muslim prophecies, the method of martyring God's people by beheading them makes perfect sense.

Israel's miraculous return to its land is dramatic proof that Biblical prophecies are being fulfilled in our time. God said He would bring Israel back into the land He gave them, after their long dispersion (which they called their diaspora) and He did it, just as He said. In Ezekiel 38:8, God prophecies that, after its dispersion, Israel would be "a land…whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate.

Those who might assert that the Catholic Church is meant by these verses, due to its portraying Biblical figures and saints in paintings and statues miss the point. For most, these are symbols of faith, not objects of faith. Unlike ancient Israel, most worshippers today don't believe that a statue itself performs miracles. Errant Israelites actually called on their idols to do what only God can do.

America's role appears to come to an abrupt end before the final years of the end times. Surprising as it may seem to some, the Author of the Word has provided to us a great deal of detail about the United States of America in the end times. Frankly, that's what we would expect from the Creator of the Universe. Daniel described God, as "the revealer of mysteries" and "a God in heaven who reveals mysteries" (Daniel 2:28 and 29).

When the Lord looks upon the Church in America today what does He see? Is today's America what the Apostle John saw when the Church of Laodicea was revealed to him.

What we have done is to literalize the DeMille film while thinking that we are literalizing the biblical story!

Unless biblical literalism is challenged overtly in the Christian church itself, it will, in my opinion, kill the Christian faith.

Showmanship, that's what it was. What kind of a God would need it?

We have yet learned little of the blessed power of death. We call it and evil, but is is a holy friendly thing. We are not left shivering all the world's night in a stately portico with no house behind it. Death is the door to the temple-house, whose God is not seated aloft in motionless state, but walks about among his children, receiving his pilgrim sons in his arms, and washing the sore feet of the weary ones. Either God is altogether like Christ, or the Christian religion is a lie.

Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden between Adam and Eve. One man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don't think anyone else should either. So do I support the idea of gay marriage? No, I don't.

The release of souls from this embodied life into a celestial disembodied existence is not a biblical notion. The opposite is the case with Jesus and for the entire Bible.

the God of the Bible is so immense, omnipotent, and omniscient that for God, knowing each of us in the depths of our beings is an afternoon walk in Sydney's botanical garden.
