End Time Prophecy in the Gospels Part 5 – Ethnic Uprisings

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. Matthew 24:7 What do we observe in the world today? That is the purpose of this series of posts – to observe what is happening around us to see if prophetic signs are present. If they are, then we should be all the more motivated …

End Time Prophecy in the Gospels Part 4 – War

When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end. Mark 13:7 War and the rumors or reports of war are terrifying particularly for people caught up in it like Ukraine, but also for us all. War has been pervasive …

End Time Prophecy in the Gospels Part 3 – The Deception of Many

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 …

Will the Western Church Change Part VI – Church Ops and the Supernatural

I am retired Air Force and worked in flight test for many years. Planes that are still in the inventory of the Air Force are constantly undergoing improvements and modernization which must be tested.

Will the Western Church Change Part V – Church Operations and Leadership

Will the Western Church Change? – Part 2, The Current State

End Time Prophecy in the Gospels Part 2 – Prophetic Signs of the Coming Storm

The prophetic signs from the synoptic gospels that Jesus calls the “beginning of Birth Pangs”, are listed as follows: But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Matthew 24:8 These are prophetic indicators or signs that portend the late hour of the end times. I am speculating that after Jesus had told …

End Time Prophecy in the Gospels Part 1 – Watches and Warnings

I finished a series of posts about the Parable of the Tares which is the first end times teaching given by the Lord. Up to this point in the gospels, there have only been allusions to judgement in several teachings such as the sermon on the mount and the Lord’s discussion with Nicodemus. The main …

Will the Asbury Revival Bring Real Change to the Western Church? – Part 1

Is Asbury a genuine move of the Holy Spirit in our time? Most of the coverage in blogs, the MSM, Christian media, YouTube that I’ve seen has been encouraging and hopeful. I’ve blogged a few times myself about this event and for me, its exciting to see mostly young people receiving the love of God, …
