As the dark shadow of the approaching Great Tribulation comes ever closer, the more we as followers of Jesus must realize that what little time we have left on this earth, is crucial. If we are still here and breathing, it means that God still has a specific purpose for each of us. There are unfortunately those who, out of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…4/7/2023…”PAID IN FULL”
Before sharing a brief update, I want to wish everyone a wonderful Resurrection Day on April 9. For 2,000 years, followers of Jesus Christ have taken this weekend every year to think through the momentous events when Jesus was crucified. As He was about to offer up His spirit into the hands of His Father, He said, “It is finished”, […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…3/30/2023…”Even The Very Old…!
In the last update, dated 3/23/2023, I shared the story of “The Dead Branch.” As is usually the case, the effects of God’s miracles and interventions continue after the initial miracle has happened. The story of Ayaet Rahmani’s challenge to Omar and what God did to meet his challenge, is spreading far and wide. Hundreds of people have already found […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….3/23/2023….”Is Anything Too Hard For Our GOD?”
Most of us have read Bible accounts of the spectacular miracles performed by Old Testament prophets, and of course in the New Testament, at the hands of Jesus and the Apostles. For most folks, it is not so hard to believe that the Biblical miracles really happened, but it’s a bit more of a challenge for some of us to […]
Chronology of the Seals in Revelation 6…..Part Eight
Over the years, we have seen movies or read books regarding the Rapture, or the Greek term “Harpazo”. Most Christians have imagined that the world will not be much different after the events as they are described. That is not possible, however, especially if one considers the effects of millions or billions of believers being resurrected from every place on […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…3/17/2021…Our GOD Never Leaves Us, Nor Forsakes Us
As I was recalling my last conversation with Pastor R, I thought back on the difficulties that our friend has gone through over the years. Snippets came to mind of stories about the first Omar, back in 2012 and 2013, when he took the first handful of Bibles over the border from Jordan into Iraq and subsequently started a House […]
Chronology of the Seals in Revelation 6…..Part Seven
As we prepare to discuss the details surrounding the opening of the Sixth Seal of Revelation 6 with an earthquake which the Bible foretells to be the most devastating quake in human history up to that point in time, it is important that a little groundwork be laid first. So far in our study of Seals 1-5, although there have […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….3/2/2023….”Feed My Sheep”
John 16:33: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Until our KING of Kings takes the throne of our planet, people will continue to experience tragedies of many kinds. We live in a fallen world and […]
Chronology of the Seals in Revelation 6……Part Six
In this current series of writings, two previous articles described the events found in Revelation 4 and 5. These are crucial in understanding what happens directly after the Seals are opened in chapter 6. So far we have discussed the first four Seals in some detail with regard to the significance of each seal and the timing of the beginning […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….2/16/2023….”Goin’ Home”
In light of world events lately, life and death are on the minds of many—especially with the latest catastrophic loss of life from the twin earthquakes just over the northern border of Syria in Turkey. The Bible has many things to say about life and death, especially for the true believer. One of these is found in 2 Corinthians 5:1-4: […]
