As I begin today’s Update, I would like to draw your attention to a passage in Isaiah: 60 Arise, My people! Let your light shine for all the nations to see! For the glory of the Lord is streaming from you. 61 Darkness as black as night shall cover all the peoples of the earth, but the glory of the […]
“The Catching Away” in Zephaniah’s Prophecy?
Zephaniah’s Pre-Tribulation Rapture I recently came across an excellent article which happens to be in line with some of my own studies in the Old Testament Book of Zephaniah. It was written by an author by the name of Corey (last name unknown to me) and is found on a website called “End Times: Darkness Descending”. I decided to share […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….10/20/2022….Jesus Christ, the same Yesterday, Today, and Forever!
In the last couple Mideast Updates, I have shared some of the information of what the House of Blessing is dealing with right now, especially in northern Syria. The infectious disease, Cholera, has spread quickly, where, as you know, millions have been displaced by the decade-long civil war are trying to survive, mostly in tent cities. Many of these camps […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…9/29/2022…” And They Loved Not Their Lives Unto The Death”
I have been on a trip for a few days and although it will be a rather short update, it will be my attempt to catch up, at least a little bit. In light of the world news in the last couple days, with the war rhetoric becoming increasingly ominous, many are wondering how long until something really serious begins […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….9/8/2022….”DOOR TO THE ARK IS STILL OPEN”
Many Christ-followers today are asking the question: “How long O Lord?” Those who have been watching, have seen the signs of our Messiah’s return increase in number and intensity. Some days our faith is strong, other days, not so much. All of us are susceptible to getting discouraged or despondent at times, but we don’t need to stay in that […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….8/13/2022….”Who Holds Your Tomorrow?”
There isn’t one of us who has knowledge of what our tomorrow will bring—unless of course, God gives us special knowledge. As believers, we are thankful at the end of every day for another day that has passed and we are now one day closer to Jesus’ return for His own. A personal practice of mine is to thank the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…6/27/2022…”Keep Looking Up!!”
In the previous update, I made mention of the fact that one of Islam’s most important feast days is coming up early in the month of July. The yearly Hajj begins July 7 and continues through July 12. The Eid al-Adha feast is celebrated in the last three days, ending on the 12th. I explained the significance of the feast […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…5/23/2022…”And To All Those Afar Off”
I came across an interesting article in which the question was asked, “Is the West Missing the Harvest?” I spent some time pondering the question. For those of us who live in the West, unless we have contact with some knowledgeable people who are involved in overseas Christian ministries, we may not even be aware how explosive the harvest of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…4/19/2022…”All These Things Will They Do”
Today’s update is once again quite short as it is regarding a special call I received from Pastor R concerning an incident that happened three or four days ago. There is a Scripture in John 15 I would like to share that is applicable. 18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. […]
MESSIAH
Perhaps the most controversial figure in history is Jesus Christ. Have you ever wondered why? In his excellent book, Mere Christianity, 20th century British author C.S. Lewis made this statement: “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him (that is, Christ): ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral […]
