But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Matthew 24:8 I just finished a series on what Jesus refers to in the Olivet Discourse as “the beginning of birth pangs”. I summarized them across the synoptic gospels in the last post which is helpful to see the contributions of each to the …
I am a biblical Christian with an interest in end times prophecy in the bible.
I attempt to view the world culture through a biblical, spiritual, prophetic, supernatural perspective, with particular interest in the coming Kingdom of God. I believe the bible is the inspired Word of God and is without error in the original manuscripts. I interpret the bible literally, accounting for the types of language used (e.g. metaphor, hyperbole, cultural idiom, etc), and the historical and cultural setting. I respect viewpoints of scholars I trust. I am influenced most strongly by scholars who take a literal, supernatural viewpoint of scripture. I would classify my eschatological perspective (if I must) as premillennial dispensational after studying the bible for many years and looking at the various viewpoints about end times. This viewpoint is reflected in my observations posted on this site. The site is an opinionated blog. I welcome other viewpoints and opinions as long as they are expressed respectfully and remain on topic. I reserve the right to disallow any comment that is off-topic (spam or marketing) or disrespectful in any way.
The Olivet Discourse – A Comparison of The Birth Pangs Signs Across the Gospels
The Olivet Discourse is carried in the synoptic gospels: Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The go-to for this detailed prophecy of the end-times by Jesus is usually the Gospel of Matthew, I suppose since it is the most detailed. In my observations, the Gospel of Luke often has additional detail not found in the other two. …
The Sixth Angel Part 2 – The Ride of the 200 Million
In my first post on this passage of scripture (Rev 9), I gave some practical reasons why the 200 million soldiers in Rev 9:16 are not likely a human army. I then did a post about applying a supernatural hermeneutic to Revelation 9 specifically and to the bible in general. Without a supernatural component to …

An Argument for a Return to the Supernatural Interpretation of the Bible
In my study of the bible, I have come to respect certain teachers of biblical prophecy. I have learned so much from people like Dr Chuck Missler, LA Marzulli, Derek and Sharon Gilbert, Dr Michael Heiser, Gary Stearman and Prophecy Watchers, Tom Horn and Skywatch TV, and many others who have brought back a supernatural …

The Sixth Angel Part 1 – 200 Million Human Soldiers?
Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a single voice coming from the horns on the golden altar that is before God, saying to the sixth angel, the one holding the trumpet, “Set free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!” Then the four angels who had been …

The Gospel Part 8 – Commitment
The true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was created by him, but the world did not recognize him. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not receive him. But to all who have received him—those who …
The Gospel Part 7 – Repentance
The last post was about saving faith. I discussed two different kinds of “faith” people may assume are saving faith but cannot save. Just knowing the facts (head knowledge) is not enough and temporal faith (faith in God for the needs of this life) is not enough. The only kind of faith that leads to …
Saving Faith
I have discussed the gospel in some detail in the previous posts. I felt the detail was important because of the declining state of the culture that has suppressed the truth of the scriptures, most particularly, the gospel, which is the central message of the bible. I have discussed the what, the who and the …
Reversing Babylon
This topic is a little off the normal path for me but I thought it important enough to write a short post. Artificial Intelligence or AI. What do you know about it? If you don’t know much about it you should do a little research because it’s about to change your life, indeed the lives …
The Gospel Part 6 – Who is Jesus Christ?
In the last post, I provided basic biblical doctrine about God. To summarize: This post is the most important in the gospel series on this site. It is about the person of Jesus Christ and how through him alone, God offers salvation – eternal life in the Kingdom of God. The offer of eternal life …
