At the conclusion of the 13th installment of this series, we ended by saying that Jesus warned the disciples, and by extension all of us, that the end of the age would come with a sudden, unexpected, cataclysmic destruction. The Sixth Seal and all events connected to it certainly fit the description Jesus warned about. As we look at Revelation […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…8/9/2023…”Everlasting to Everlasting”
A question that comes to mind at times, and badgers us as believers, is will God’s love for me truly endure? Will it continue even through my failings and sinful mistakes? Can my own weaknesses as a Christ-follower ever wear down His love for me? Psalm 103:17 tells us that The love (mercy) of the LORD is from everlasting to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….8/1/2023….”Strengthen the Hands Which Hang Down”
With so much chaos and misery in our world today, a bit of encouragement and a brief reminder of what our lives as believers and followers of Jesus Christ are all about, might be welcome. I have turned back to Hebrews 12 several times in the past few days and have found it quite refreshing. Sometimes it is good to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….7/16/2023….”Your Work Shall Be Rewarded”
Prior to sharing the latest House of Blessing update, I have a question for you. Does it ever feel to you that the Lord is moving slower than you would like? Do you ever find yourself nearly panicking because it seems He is going to show up late? Note God’s interesting response to a threat from an enemy nation to […]
Chronology of the Seals in Revelation 6….Part Thirteen
In previous installments of this series of articles, considerable emphasis has been placed on examining some of the details of the Gog/Magog War of Ezekiel 38-39 and its possible, perhaps probable, connection to World War 3 which currently seems to be ratcheting up quickly. We also spent time examining the details revealed in Scripture in describing the opening of the […]
THE POWER OF THE HIDDEN MAN
—by David Wilkerson— After Jesus delivered the sermon on the Mount, his listeners sat in awe. Scripture says, “The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes” (Matthew 7:28-29). The Greek word for authority in this verse means “with mastery, power, liberty; as one in control.” Jesus’ listeners were […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…7/6/2023…”Knocked Down But Not Destroyed”
Just before sharing the latest call from Pastor R, I would like to refer to a passage of Scripture found in the fourth chapter of 2 Corinthians the Living Bible. 7 But this precious treasure — this light and power that now shine within us — is held in a perishable container, that is, in our weak bodies. Everyone can […]
Chronology of the Seals in Revelation 6…Part Twelve
We ended Part Eleven with three questions: Could Ezekiel’s Gog-Magog War be connected to World War 3? Could there be a connection to the opening of the Sixth Seal? Could there also be a connection to the catching away of the Church? We will take these three questions in some depth: EZEKIEL’S GOG-MAGOG WAR CONNECTION TO WORLD WAR THREE? The […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…6/22/2023…”By the ‘Foolishness’ of Preaching, Those Who Believe Are Saved”
In light of the approaching Muslim pilgrimage known as the Hajj, and the Muslim day of sacrifice on the third day, Eid al-Adha, this is a timely update. Pastor R mentioned the upcoming date in a call this week. Most readers are aware of the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca. This year, about 2 million Muslims are expected to journey […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…6/16/2023….Our God Has All Things Under Control!
One request that is made quite often in the Mideast Updates over the past 11 years, is for prayer. Why is prayer requested? It is because God’s intervention is needed. I wonder how many of us, yours truly included, pray in a nonchalant way, not really grasping the gravity of what we are doing and not realizing what is involved […]
