Biblical prophecy, end times, and the supernatural
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 …

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 …

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 of Luke is the only gospel that mentions plague as a birth pang sign. This does not conflict with the other two so called “synoptic” gospels.

When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times? Matthew 16:2-3 The …

I proposed biblical reform of the church in the last post – reform in accordance with the original model depicted in the New Testament, particularly in the Book of Acts. The primary reason I am proposing reform is for the church to put its full attention back on the mission of the gospel. Most of …

My last post defined the model I believe the church should return to in these last days. I advocated a return to the church model defined clearly in the New Testament because, regarding mission results, it worked. It seems logical that the model documented in the Word of God is there for a reason – …
