SIGN #7: The appearance upon earth of beings from the Principality of the Air, and their unlawful intercourse with the human race. The Bible has much in it that our educated culture finds difficult to accept. Skeptics abound. Old Testament stories of Jonah and the big fish, Noah and the ark, Sodom and Gomorrah’s supernatural destruction, Joshua and the wall […]
SEVEN SIGNS WE’VE ARRIVED AT THE END OF THE AGE, part 2 of 3
Continued from Sign #3, last post SIGN #4: The alliance between the nominal Church and the world There is a marriage that has been happening over time; in fact probably the most notable generation may have been during the days of Constantine in the fourth century. At the time Constantine came along and through his power as Emperor, intervened on […]
SEVEN SIGNS WE’VE ARRIVED AT THE END OF THE AGE, part 1 of 3
This is a two part series using seven signs pointing to the imminent return of Jesus Christ, included in a 19th century book written by G.H. Pember, who was a British theologian. Pember was not the typical theologian, nor a typical researcher. As a result, he did not have a problem crossing some theological thought that did not always make sense; nor align with many things found in Scripture. As a result, he endured a whole lot of flack, as does anyone that considers any of the things he had to say. I happen to be one of those because, from my own much own research, which hardly is in the same league, answers a whole lot of questions that has reached a number of intellectuals I’ve had the opportunity to spend time with. Because of the length of the original article, I have had mercy on the reader and split it into two parts, the seventh sign being the only one not totally completed yet. It will be out sometime this weekend (first few days of June, 2013). Don’t be surprised if some of it is controversial to common accepted thought…but that is quite often a sign of a truth or two that have been avoided because they were not all that “comfortable”! Enjoy, and don’t try to read it too fast. Much might be missed.
JERUSALEM UPDATE–May 25, 2013 (Time of the Essence!)
This post is a continuation of updates having to do with an underground Christian ministry to Muslims. The emphasis has been to show those who serve a prophet and god that advocates murdering infidels because they will not convert to Islam. Bibles are given free of charge and taken over the border around Israel, lately the emphasis being on Syria which is on the edge of total collapse. The founder of this ministry was nearly beaten to death with clubs and stoned by Hezbollah, but is still sharing the love of God. This is a genuine ministry of love to people who have been taught to hate and kill. God on the other hand is a God of love, compassion, and forgiveness. This is the message of this article.
JERUSALEM UPDATE-May 18, 2013
I got a call a few days ago from R*, the founder of House Of Blessing. At the time of his call, he himself was still in a wheelchair and not able to move much yet. But, he said that he was content that he was fulfilling exactly what God wanted out of him for the time being. He said […]
THE WORLD WAS NOT WORTHY OF THEM…
This post points out that much of the professing Church is soft, out of touch with Christ’s reality, and has gods of materialism, sports, and a feel-good Christianity. God does not accept it as He requires us to have a genuine relationship with Him that is based on His truth, holiness as He sees it, and a life lived that touches the world with His love. We, for the most part, have forgotten what the fear of God is all about–and until we find it again, are going to fail in fulfilling His commission He gave us. Time has run out and we’d better get with His program–not ours. His definition of “success” is not the one we use. We must see the difference.
JERUSALEM UPDATE, May 4, 2013
Greetings to all of you: This is a very quick update as of a phone call I just received this morning directly from Syria. I am out of town for the weekend to welcome another grandchild into the world but brought my laptop with me. Those of you who are on my e-mail list know of the continuing work done […]
Short Jerusalem Update–April 30, 2013
Greetings All: Just a quick update on H.O.B. and R* who is literally sacrificing his life for the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. R* has serious injuries from the beating and stoning recently. He appears to have received substantial injuries to his nervous system, as well as other injuries that are not being relieved yet. He is still in Syria staying […]
JERUSALEM UPDATE–April 12, 2013
I just got a call this morning from our friend R*, pastor and founder of House Of Blessing, Jerusalem, Israel. The first thing he had to tell me was thank you for the funds that were provided within the last couple weeks. I want to add a special thank you to my own church home, Desert Song Community Church which […]
ARE YOU HIS “HOUSE”?
The book of Hebrews is avoided by more readers of the New Testament than most books, other than possibly the Book of Revelation. Many of the concepts reach back into the Old Testament, in order to tie the old sacrificial system together with the new. I was doing some reading in Hebrews however and was struck by a few things […]
