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 […]
Chronology of the Seals in Revelation 6…Part Eleven
In this part of the series on the chronology of the Seals in Revelation Six, we will begin to examine the relationship between the Sixth Seal, the Ezekiel 38-39 War of Gog and Magog, World War 3, the Rapture of the Bride of Christ, and the End of the Age of Grace. Fitting each into its place is a bit […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….6/3/2023….”Groaning”
In God, every heartache, every tear, every difficulty, and every sorry that we experience in this life will bring forth the birth of new life. The pains we experience in this world will be forgotten in the next in the joy of new life. Notice the Apostle Paul’s words in Romans 8: 18 “For I consider that the sufferings of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…5/22/2023…”When GOD’s Answer Isn’t So Prompt”
One of the things that sometimes can cause frustration in our Christian lives is when we are in difficult situations and, seemingly, no amount of prayer is changing things — or at least, not that we can see. Gary Wilkerson in his World Challenge Newsletter, addressed the subject by using King David’s prayer in Psalm 6 as an example. I […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…5/10/2023…”God Sometimes Works In Mysterious Ways!”
How does one face life as we find it in 2023, knowing that tomorrow’s news will likely be more troublesome than even today? There are those who live in constant fear. There are also those who avoid knowing what is going on in our world. Others focus on staying entertained and refuse to deal with the more unpleasant realities of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…4/30/2023…”The Scroll of Life”
One of my favorite scriptures is found in Psalm 139. Here is just a sampling of the verses: 1 O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. 2 You know when I sit or stand. When far away you know my every thought. 3 You chart the path ahead of me, and tell me where to […]
Chronology of the Seals in Revelation 6…..Part Ten
As I have previously suggested, due to the complexity of what is involved in the Sixth Seal event, the event may unfold over several days. This is suggested in ancient writings and visions by some of the Biblical patriarchs which were discovered in cache’s of ancient documents including the Dead Sea Scrolls. One of these is purported to have possibly […]
Chronology of the Seals in Revelation 6…Part Nine
Many voices today are warning of imminent catastrophic events. Is this just a matter of conspiracy theory or sensationalism? In this writing, I will offer some scientifically verifiable changes in our environment, as well as in the cosmos, that few are aware of; and these stunning events appear to be setting the stage for the Apocalypse described in the Book […]
