The last few days have been dramatic in Syria. The Assad regime is crumbling under the rapid onslaught of Syrian rebel forces that moved rapidly to take Aleppo, a key strategic city. Whoever controls Aleppo controls half of Syria, probably the northern half at this point since Assad’s army is retreating to the south. It …
Wars and Rumors of Wars Update
I’ve written several times about the “birth pang” signs given by Messiah in the gospels. Occasionally, I think it necessary to provide an observational update based on world events related to one or more of the signs. Prophetically, so many things are happening so fast I could devote the entire focus of my writing to …
The Season of Imminence
It’s often said by biblical prophecy teachers that there are no preconditions to the rapture. It can happen at any time. This is called the doctrine of imminence, the imminent return of Jesus Christ for His church which will be taken from the earth in an instant, and at a time when we least expect …
Reframing the Right to Life Polemic
The current debate about the right of an innocent baby human being to be born and to live a life has been framed for many years in the context of the right of a woman to choose, “reproductive rights”, and “my body my choice”. The fundamental question is never the debate. The fundamental question never …
Understanding the End Times from the Bible
In my recent lengthy search for a church, I had a few boxes to tick as “must have” before I would consider joining. One box was solid teaching about the end times from a premillennialism perspective. I did not find a single church that met this criteria. Some churches had premillennialism encoded in their statement …

What’s Going on in the PRC?
I’m going to give some top level news, an observation, and then speculate on the PRC and how it may or may not fit into end times. It is speculation, just some ideas that came to mind given current events I’ve been following. So recently in the PRC, some interesting stuff: There are many other …
Birth Pang Signs Revisited – Part 3
By my count, there are 14 birth pang signs in the Olivet Discourse across the 3 synoptic gospels. I’ve covered ten of them in part 1 & 2 of this series, which updates the original series I did awhile ago. They are still here on the site if you want to go read them. When …
Birth Pang Signs Revisited – Part 2
Events in the world are happening so fast, it’s hard to keep up. Almost like horses galloping through the earth bringing prophetic change that wipes out freedom and brings global tyranny through war, suppression of the truth, famine, pestilence, and death. The world was even introduced to the apocalyptic imagery of the riders of Revelation …
Birth Pang Signs Revisited – Part 1
Awhile back I did a series of posts about the birth pang signs identified by Jesus in the Olivet Discourse. I believe we live in prophetic times in which these signs are increasingly present so I thought I’d update the post in a more summarized way. What compelled me to reissue the post is the …
Computer Crashes and the Church
How much do we rely on tech? In my career, I spent a lot of time in software development and testing. I know how the good software developers get it done. I know the rigorous testing military flight systems undergo before the capability goes out to the combat units. And yet we are told that …
