The Church may need a tribulation.  The Great Tribulation that will lead the present discombobulated, fractured, often compromising Church into a spirit of holiness, a resolve… a Bride that has made herself ready for the return of the Bridegroom. Building up a highway of holiness, taking out the stones of offense and accusation,  lifting a banner before the nations.  Saying to the daughter of Zion, 'Surely your salvation is coming'!

When Abraham lifted the knife over his only son Issac as he lay on the altar of sacrifice, God interrupted the proceedings with three important words, 'Now I Know.' Convinced by the most harrowing step faith the old patriarch could take, the Lord was convinced He chose the right guy! As we approach the end of the age with all the trauma accompanying those days, will God look down from the heavens, see a company of overcomers and declare, "Now I know?"

God is revealing His long-held mysteries these days.  Mysteries He's held in plain sight for millennia.  Revealing timing indicators.  He wants us to recognize time frames that are more precise than often considered.

Mat 24:14  "… this [apocalyptic] gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”  The gospel that is being revealed in the closing days of this age.  Our God laid out the blueprint for this task through the mouth of David in Psalm 2, so the Son of David might reveal it to the nations in our day!

Plenty of controversy about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.  A quick look at 21st. century civilization indicates many of the Bible prophecies in both Testaments show there will also be many no less important activities during this glorious return of our Lord.  One great age-ending event that brings the rule and reign of a Jewish Messiah to the earth for the next thousand years, instituting a divine order in place that will change everything!  Let's check out some of the details.

"We preach for the absence of criticism, instead of the presence of the Holy Spirit.”  That's quite a statement.  It certainly got my attention when I first heard it.  Mat 24:45  "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?”  As pastors and teachers, I strongly believe we’ll be more intently required to pay close attention to the Word of the Lord, shifting to a more apocalyptic presentation —a seasonal word that will land you outside the categories of religion and cultural influence.  Right where you need to be!

It may not come with bullets and bombs, but perhaps from explosive bursts of marginalization, cancel culture, coming from a woke generation that sees our God and our deepening love for His son, entirely out of step with societal norms.  Might removing insignificant folks like you and me from the global conversation of the day be performing God an excellent service?  Let's find out.

God is issuing a radical call to strategic prayer, guided by the Holy Spirit, that prepares the way for the Lord to move in the spiritual realm, ultimately affecting change in the natural realm.
 The idea here is that God is telling His people to speak what He tells them to say.  He’s calling on a generation in this day to choose their words carefully and declare directly to the demonic opposition the prophetic plans He has for His soon-coming Kingdom.  Words coming through the mouths of Holy Spirit anointed Believers like you and me.  Let's learn what He wants us to say!

If you’re hanging on to the popular idea inside and outside the Church, that new political leadership, an insurmountable military, a revisionist social justice, and monetary structure will somehow reverse the global course we’re on and ease the rage among the nations, you'll be sadly disappointed.   God saw this coming long before we did and He sees everything is right on schedule.

 What did King David know in Psalm 2 that few know today or even consider?
 David knew a much future obsessive rage would overtake global governments to the point of seeking to destroy Israel and her spiritual offspring.   I believe David knew a summoned assembly of the Body of Messiah would fulfill its end-time mandate and destiny of doing the greater works on the earth.  Exploits, signs, and wonders under the extraordinary anointing of the Holy Spirit.  A church, fast becoming a martyr /witness testimony to the nations in the coming Great Tribulation.

What used to take decades now takes minutes!  That’s a big deal.  Think about it.  Knowledge.. the ability to know something and communicate it is nearly instantaneous.  And that ability, in this timeframe in which we live, speaks volumes about the importance of Bible prophecy, how it's being communicated, and our responsibility for conveying such knowledge with divine accuracy.

Has there been any greater mystery or controversy in history than Israel and its earthly journey from antiquity?  The one to whom God spoke and the prophets wrote.  So many mysteries God has held closely for eons are now being revealed.  From the long journey of the two seeds in the Garden.  To the mystery of the sealed scroll of Daniel 12.  Where now, few care for this Godly prophecy, but “at the time of the end,” near its fulfillment, “many shall run to and fro,” to scrutinize it, scanning carefully through every page.  Beloved, I believe it's time to go to the prophets!

 Isaiah was a forerunner, and he used very intense language to describe the conditions in Israel and, most importantly, the ministry of the forerunner and how the gentile church will function in the time of Jacob’s Trouble.  How Believers will be prepared for their specific assignments, including bold prophetic proclamation and unceasing prayer.

Just as Daniel's intercession in Chapter 9 was necessary to release the prophetic revelation in Chapter 10 by releasing the Archangel Michael to remove the opposing Prince of Persia, we must ask, will a Church facing its greatest spiritual challenge be appointed to know what’s coming and by means of intercession become an end-time Daniel and likewise be enlightened like Daniel?  I believe the Bible shows us a Daniel anointing in the Church will pave the way for the return of Christ.

As we adjust to the so-called new ‘normals,' what will be the condition of our  collective hearts and how will we respond in the crisis?  The Church is little prepared to navigate THAT new normal, neglecting one of the greatest tools of evangelism, the witness of apocalyptic prophetic evangelism, an instrument the Holy Spirit will use to ignite the greatest revival since Pentecost.

One of the most frequently stated arguments for an early rapture is found in Revelation.   Pre-trib defenders argue the Church is never mentioned after chapter 4 in the book.  That after the Lord reprimands the seven churches in Asia Minor, Revelation goes ‘silent’ on the subject.  And, because the word ‘Church’ is absent from the discussion, it’s believed there’s been a sudden and secret rapture.  Let's look at the scripture that shows Revelation is not as silent as some believe.

Among many in the church today who embrace  Christian theology, even go to church regularly and support the creeds and the canon of scripture,  hold to the idea that God is somehow finished with the Jews.  That they may have some relevance in the plan of God in the sweet by and by, but the Church has replaced Israel as the ‘apple of His eye.’  Nothing could be further from the truth.

The Son of God wastes no time letting His followers know what should have their undivided attention. That knowledge is important now and especially in the next few years. Scripture reveals the approximate time of His return, albeit in a way that would remain hidden from the majority of professing Christians until the last moments.

Do we embrace the truth or the lie?  This is not about succumbing to ‘false’ doctrine or deception at an unguarded moment in life.  That can be momentary and perhaps rob us of our peace of mind and cause us to question our spiritual destiny.  God’s not threatened by our wrong ideas about Him.  But our Lord does give us significant warnings of an internal state of apostasy, an abandonment of the faith.  A falling away from the faith and truth once held.  Let's see how we can stay on course.

 Can we say, based on Daniel's vision in chapter 11 and the words of Jesus in Matthew 24, we are now in the birth pains that will precede the Lord's return?

Then his own!

 There IS a coming ‘peace and safety" in Israel. There IS a coming resumption of animal sacrifices, there IS a new third Temple to be built and celebrated…  and yes, there IS a coming abominable event when this man of peace and safety will enter that third Temple as the incarnation of Satan himself.  And yes, there IS a Great Tribulation to follow that will lead to the final clash of the mystery of iniquity and the mystery of the gospel.  Will the Church's participation in Christian Zionism be sufficient for all that?

Pastors appear to be keeping the gospel message pretty vanilla these days,  sticking to the fundamentals of the faith, encouraging witnessing, reading their Bibles, etc.  A solid gospel message.  But if generational and global transitions are well underway, and they are, what must be the 'in season' message from the pulpit?  What must pastors and teachers, even at significant risk to their positions, communicate to their people?

God is highly vested in our emotional maturity.  Will it come from an unsurrendered over-active soul of the flesh?  Or is it going to come from a prophetic spirit that’s been meticulously prepared for a supernatural response?

Jesus is speaking to our generation, the conference crowd of today.  He’s declaring the greater privilege of prophetic knowability coming upon God’s people, will demand a much greater response than what we’re giving it.  And, if that remains the case.  If the Church remains dull and unresponsive it will result in greater judgment.

The most interpretive key to the timing of the Lord's return is found in the most unexpected place... the resumption of animal sacrifices on the most hotly contested pieces of real estate in the world.  Temple Mount in Jerusalem.   While the Israeli government has taken steps to head off attempts to get these unsanctioned sacrifices underway, Jerusalem’s chief rabbi admits the sacrifice is incumbent upon the Jewish people even in current times, even in the absence of a Temple or a Red Heifer to purify Israel. So, let's discover what the resumption of these sacrifices might signal for the Lord's return.

Let's say it this way,  if Bible-believing, God-fearing men in our generation, give in to the undermining and emasculation perpetrated by 21st-century culture, I believe we'll be absent the prophetic insight necessary for the days leading to the Lord’s return.  In short, men, we must re-establish our long-absent priestly position in the home, and embrace our divine assignment.

An extraordinary solemn assembly and fast will take place May 7-28 for Israel.  A call to the Church to climb the 'watchtowers' of Israel to cry out to her day and night, and give God no rest till her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns. My friends, this is an unprecedented event.  Already, 300 thousand across the earth have committed to this solemn assembly, with up to a million when prayer gets underway. I've briefly covered some details and how you can learn more.  This is a remarkable privilege that demands an exceptional response.

There’s more written in the Bible about David than any other person except Jesus.  A man after God’s own heart.  But David had some issues.  He was persecuted while living in sin and loving God at the same time.  On the other hand, he was more concerned about how his misdeeds might mess up the lives of others.

As of today, that revival at Ashbury University in Kentucky is nine days old... and counting!
Those kids praying in Kentucky didn’t wake up on chapel day and decided to kick things up a notch! Instead, the Holy  Spirit, bypassed their carnality, their flesh, and their human weaknesses, and accommodated their love-sick hearts with a new demonstration of the Spirit’s power and love.  A stirring and quickening to intercede, to stand in a critical gap for a needed breakthrough that would come by means of voluntary weakness and faith.
Might this be a significant sign of things to come?

 I want to go to the scriptures to better understand the set times of God, and perhaps more importantly, explore the prophetic words shared by the Hebrew writers of both the Old and New Testaments.  Sixty-six books, written by some 35 traditional authors and assembled over 1,500 years.  And, in all those complexities… comes forth a harmony of Scripture that reveals a Jewish Messiah, and His plan for the entire creation.  What a God we serve!

The Hebrew Scriptures frequently speak about volcanoes and earthquakes, and some of today’s rabbis in Israel view these geological events as preliminaries to the return of the Messiah. We might differ on the details, but we can certainly agree the Time of Jacob's Trouble is soon to come and will usher in the Lord's Millennial Kingdom on the earth. So, what might we learn about the coming days from the recent seismic activity around the Pacific ring of fire?

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father."  Many of you have read or spoken those words of Jesus from John 14:12 with full-throated conviction.  With expectancy for unusual manifestations, miracles, and extraordinary signs and wonders.  Surely in your personal life.  But perhaps also in an anointed gathering among the Saints.  But, as they say, ‘how has that worked out for us?  What may have been the Lord's timing and intent for those greater works?

Many of you know  I favor an apocalyptic approach to evangelism.  Clear, Biblical handling of prophetic scriptures from both Testaments that point to the activities on the earth during Daniel’s 70th. Week, the final seven years of this age.  And what that will mean for Israel, the Church, and the nations in the days ahead.   A reformation of end-times theology that produces a clear pathway for humanity to decide how they’d like to spend ETERNITY!!

My friends, we are quickly approaching a time when our seemingly secure categories will be literally shattered.  We believe it will take the martyr witness of a Tribulation Church to prepare the nations and a surviving Jewish remnant for the worldwide lifting of a veil that will have been draped over their collective eyes for the past two millennia.  It must be a people who know their God, moving in signs and wonders, forerunners who will be able to explain the unusual activities of the Holy Spirit at the end of this age.

There's no 'chill pill' for persistent anxiety.  But there is a God-ordained way to move that fear, doubt, and unbelief into a place of tranquility and peace that only the Holy Spirit can provide.

Beloved, if you’re willing to compare scripture with scripture, there can be no conclusion other than that on the Day of the Lord, Jesus will come on the clouds after the Great Tribulation.  And that day brings the Antichrist’s destruction, the gathering of Christ’s elect, and the restoration of the kingdom of Israel. The day is not an imminent, un-signaled event and cannot, therefore, be introduced by an alleged any-moment, pre-tribulation rapture. 
Let's learn more about this one event, with so many different activities.

Pastors and Church leaders quickly find themselves as the go-to voices for confused souls who sense 21st. century culture is heading for disaster.  How will God grace an end-time Church to respond with love and  Biblical accuracy amid all the noise?  Our interview with Pastor Jason King offers some answers.

Intensive revival prayer is beginning to go up everywhere. There’s a rising tide of expectancy, but nothing seems to be happening like a hoped-for splitting of the atom. Do you know what scientists do? They continue to bombard that depressed atom by intensifying the neutron beam. They committed to do it until fission takes place. I submit that’s what the Church must do. We must press through for, what I like to call, Big Prayer, Strategic Prayer, Strategic Level Intercessory Prayer. Having a clear awareness, God sees and hears the unusual spiritual tensions, groanings, and agreements among the Saints and readies to burst open a global revival.

Kids love their music, they love their social media, and for millions, they radically love their Lord.  But my question is, “how do we prepare them for the apocalyptic ministry that will be necessary before the Lord’s return?
Youth pastor Travis Miller joins us to share some insight into what today's 'church kids' are think'n about these days.

Jesus says, "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near."  Fig trees are not a mystery. They are not a mystery in the Middle East, and they're not a mystery in my neighbor's yard down the street. You see, a bloom'n fig tree indicates a season. So this is what we must consider. Before the abomination of the desolation, we won't know the time of His return. But the preceding birth pains will undoubtedly signal the season.

The preaching of the gospel in the coming days will be couched in an apocalyptic presentation that will not leave any listener in doubt about what’s to come.   An apocalyptic reformation will precede the message of the cross. Not a retread of the 16th. Century version. A much rehabilitated view will ignite an apocalyptic evangelism that will shake the 21st. Century Church. A coming reformation and evangelism of a kind that will demand we present what Jesus and the prophets made clear; there is a Gospel of the Kingdom coming to earth!

What used to take decades, now takes minutes!  That’s a big deal.  Think about it.  Knowledge.. the ability to know something and communicate it is nearly instantaneous.  And that ability, in this timeframe in which we live, speaks volumes about the importance of Bible prophecy, how it's being communicated, and our responsibility for conveying such knowledge with divine accuracy.

There are plenty of activities these days to chill the human soul. Brief respites in the church world to relieve some of the global tensions of the day. I suggest these entertaining activities will ultimately be insufficient to bring the peace we seek. It'll be lovesick hearts given to the prophetic Word of God, ready to set aside our pedestrian prayers, as legit as they may be, and fasten our hearts to prophetic prayer and intercession that we might know the mind of the Spirit at the closeout of this present age.

I believe we can point to Jeremiah as an excellent model for prophetic intercession, and here’s why.  God gave this very insecure young man an assignment to pray for an entire nation about to take up residence in another land, and it wasn’t the promised Land!  Kind of like some of us, who are, or shortly will be called to make prophetic intercession for a nation. Perhaps the one in which we currently reside.  Or maybe Israel, during the time of Jacob’s Trouble.  That’d be quite an assignment, wouldn’t it?

The Church is a Godly remnant, the heavenly offspring of the Covenant nation Israel. It's the grafted in branches and the corporate prophet to the nations.  The Church is not some afterthought of the Godhead simply because Israel didn't get it at the time!   So, what's holding back the return of Christ and the end of this age? Indeed, the travail of Zion in the Great Tribulation.  That final cry from the earthly Jerusalem, the Church.

Any people whatsoever?  None, other than those to whom God spoke, and the prophets wrote! Israel is a miraculous nation of unmatched gifts and callings, presently declaring to the international community the mantra, ‘never again.’  While in a not too distant future, again, hostel neighbors will plot a Time of Trouble for Jacob, this time, it’ll forever change the world!
What can we know about these unprecedented days ahead?  Are there clear timing indicators that point to a sequence of events that will prepare the Church and the nations?  There are, so get your pen in hand and your bible open to Matthew 24.

The Keys of the Kingdom Jesus presented to His disciples in Matthew 16 bestow full and open access to the child of God.  However, binding and loosing  the harmful elements of our lives were never meant to be a novelty item for placing presumptuous demands on God.  Embracing their eternal purpose might prove to be the wisdom necessary in the crisis of the age-ending events prior to the Lord's return.  Just what are we to secure tightly and release confidently?

We must recover a sense of urgency for the time in which we live!!! 
 An urgency that is not based on fear but power, love, and soundness of mind.  A now event that requires a history with God.  A time and purpose investment.  Prayer, intercession, travail, corporate calls to prayer with a clear mandate, and call to apocalyptic evangelism.  A God-ordained, clear-cut voice to the nations that ‘it’s coming.’  A supernatural event that is going to change everything.

What began as a small spiritual movement in Israel two thousand years ago has become a gospel enterprise on many levels in America.  While the West has been responsible for an effective global missionary movement the past couple of centuries it must also be held accountable for some very convoluted theologies that have steered many in the wrong direction.  Perhaps we would do well to return to the apocalyptic gospel taught by the Son of God.

When prophets speak, there's a profound, disturbing of the peace. The divisions and controversies that follow the Word of the Lord are not the creation of Jesus or the prophets that preceded Him. It's the outcome of a fallen sin-sick world. A coming generation will make hearts ready to give significant hope to a  population on the earth in the crisis to come. Jesus is returning, and the government, the Rule of Law, the political, financial, societal institutions on the planet are going to be upon "His shoulder," a God-Man's shoulder!

The final witness to Israel and the nations that God is wrapping up this fallen age is given to the Church.  The Bible presents no other end-time voice for such an occasion. It's why God chooses to place a 'future world government' on the shoulder of His Son.

It's biblically clear the manifold wisdom of God and His righteous judgments on the earth is to be made known by His church.  A wisdom that will put the principalities and powers of the air on notice their time is short and a corporate prayer movement formed that will move the redeemed, Jew and Gentile, right into the age to come.
Eph 3:10 " to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places..."

God is raising up forerunners in this season.  Young men and women stepping out ahead of the conventional wisdom of the day, to make sense of these unprecedented activities of the Holy Spirit that will soon center in Israel.  Transitional generations require a heightened level of consecration.  I believe God gives a greater grace to transitional generations, to empower consecration through holy separation for His higher purposes.  Those higher purposes will come with considerable opposition.  Let's see how the Lord is preparing us.

Often, the complaint from some readers of the book of Revelation is "John's prophecy is just too complicated and confusing, I just want to give up on any attempt to understand bible prophecy."  I must agree it can look a bit overwhelming on the front end but if we look carefully we'll see the angel of the Lord provides some pretty detailed interpretation of this mysterious book.  Join us as we provide a bit more insight into a "Revelation Riddle."

The end-time church will soon become gifted into holy apostolic and prophetic offices by which it will make known God's wisdom and His apocalyptic mysteries to the demonic powers of the air.  A divine honor of responsibility given to the children of God to demonstrate the power of the blood to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.  
To exercise such authority and overcome the demonic forces of darkness, we must first wrestle with God in irresistible prayer as Jacob did in Genesis 32.

Many in the Church are choosing to look to the ancient record of biblical history for answers to the increasingly prophetic events of the day.  A  sizable portion of those seekers is choosing to embrace a teaching that puts nearly all prophetic signs in the past; that the prophecies of Matthew 24, Revelation, etc. were fulfilled in 70 AD.  There's a significant danger to this popular view as a former preterist, Dr. Brock Hollett shared with me in a recent interview.

Important teaching on the changing face of 'evangelism.'  Let’s call it 21st. century evangelism, in the apostolic sense, its very roots include a revealed mystery of covenant, an everlasting covenant made with Abraham.  A covenant much overlooked by the Church..  nevertheless, a most important component that initiated our ingrafting into the covenant and blessings of Abraham that came at the cross.  A covenant and a gospel proclamation, held as a mystery that must and will be made known, by the Church, to the Jew and the nations before the return of the Lord.  Not either-or... but both!

Let’s take a big jump from UFOs to the word most associated with the phenomenon and land on the word.. apocalyptic!  What does the Bible say about an apocalypse, apocalyptic evangelism?  Evangelism is all-encompassing.  It’s not just all about preaching to the lost.  It’s also about preaching to the choir.  It’s about the church’s upward call to apocalyptic evangelism.  A revelation of the hidden mysteries of the Kingdom.  A last day’s preparation that will require the full counsel of God, to the churched and unchurched!

I recently uploaded a podcast entitled, “A future covenant with death and hell,”  We looked in some detail at the present conditions in the world that are leading up to a major political and spiritual shift in the Middle East, particularly Israel and her neighbors in the Arab world. 
Later I listened to a Youtube presentation of ‘God’s Foretold Work’,  a YouTube program I often hear and sometimes participate in.   My good friend Reggie Kelly was talking about current events in Israel and the increasing hostilities between Israel and Hamas.  A conflict that some believe could lead to a war of a much more serious nature.  Reggie had some important words to share, relating to many of the events we had just spoken of in the podcast and how the current conflict between Israel and Hamas might well be leading to something much more serious.

Israel has grown very prosperous when invaded suddenly and unexpectedly by the Antichrist. For the first time in 19 centuries the temple and sacrifice have been restored, and the people dwell securely in peace and safety.  this time when they face near catastrophic destruction.  How much more must the Church of the final days ponder the profoundly instructive prophetic words of the Lord for such a time that is coming??

The Church, the Millennium and Israel.  Plenty of open discussion there!  Just what is God's purpose for a new age, a 1000 year reign of Messiah from Jerusalem, the heartland of Jewish eschatology?  Are there not simpler ways for the Lord to wrap up 6000 years of human government and demonstrate a once and for all purpose for His covenant people Israel?  Probably not, because He's going to take a Millennium to validate His covenant decisions before the nations.

Every great move of God began with prayer…  Crisis prayer…  the kind that comes at a turning point in a decisive or critical moment in history.  Jesus experienced ‘crisis’ prayer in the Garden, where the certainty of His death was to the point of being overcome so much as to cause death.  The 'shock' coming to the church as the world looks for answers to the way out of one crisis after another, is certain to drive us to 'crisis' prayer.  So get ready to fall to your knees!

There’s a rage in the earth these days..  it’s becoming more intense and it will spread globally before the Lord’s return.  The nations, in defiance, demanding 'this God will not rule over us.'  The thing that most troubled me in the recent riot on capitol hill, was the number of protestors who carried ‘Jesus’ signs or banners… as if somehow God was validating their furry and frenzy.   Jesus warns us this is an hour of watchfulness.. an hour of Great Decision.

Why are we required to know the generation of the Lord's return?  Jesus says, 'From the fig tree learn its lesson.'  'For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.'  Interestingly, it’s ONLY the final generation that CAN KNOW…. because they are the eyewitnesses to the signs!!!  God did not sneak-up on Noah…  and He will not sneak-up on us… if we’re paying attention!

If you are weighing any possibility the Church will be on the earth to navigate the final seven years, you need to listen to this teaching.  There is a strategic order of events God has set for the end of this age.  The Scripture is consistent with the fact cosmic and seismic disturbances will occur after the tribulation, but before the  Second coming, the rapture and return.  Just what does that look like for the Saints?

There is no argument a great trumpet will sound at the 'catching up' of the redeemed at the end of this age but there is significant debate over what trumpet will be heard. Are there different trumpets for different comings?   The answers from scripture will settle the discussion.

Just how close are we?  What would you think..  What would you do.. What would radically change in your life if you recognized significant scripture that revealed long held mysteries to the return of Christ?  Might we be at the beginning of the beginning of the 'critical must' events that will suddenly launch us into Daniel's 70th. week?  Allow me to introduce you to a 'minor' prophet with some 'MAJOR' prophecies!

If your frame of reference is only the ‘left behind’ series you read years ago and you have not invested time in the Old Testament scriptures that speak clearly of this time, you are placing yourself in a position of fear and trepidation that will only allow you to see escape!  What must we know if the Church will be here for the final events of this age?

A very interesting podcast today.  A Holy Spirit interruption taking me off the 'rails' for a time as we considered prophetic input from a couple of friends about the persecution that will come.  Radical pushback not only from the world, but also sincere Believers in Jesus who see our warnings against blatant deception of  a coming time of 'peace and safety' as outside the conventional wisdom of the global Church.

As a future end time drama gets underway a savvy Church will recognize the change in season, shifts in ecology, pestilences, rage among nations, leading to ethnic conflict in and among peoples at odds over moral absolutes and issues of social justice.  Sounds a bit like today!  Are we at the beginning of the beginning of these important signs?  Jesus provides a sequence of events that should clear away any confusion.

We’re coming to a turning point in history the Church has long expected. Although, we’ve had many different theories on how that will play out, there are not many of us these days who believe this earth and its residents can much longer tolerate its self indulgent self-destruction.  Jesus is going to return as groaning spiritual midwives travail in the birthing of a Church without spot or wrinkle.  And Matthew 24 clearly counts the cost.

How does the Church prepare for the Matthew 24 moment…  the ‘birth pains’ leading to ‘heavy labor contractions?’  God has heavily invested in the Church with critical preparation for the transition and glory that will come, YES, in the Great Tribulation.

The red letters of Matthew 24, Jesus’ most comprehensive explanation of the signs of His coming and the end of the age.  We are beginning a detailed look at Matthew 24 in a series of podcasts that will give us wisdom to understand this distinct period and how to properly respond.

Judah had plenty of warnings of a coming captivity; 20 years of warnings.  Likewise, the forerunners and prophetic Saints of today are developing a history with God that will provide them with a prophetic mantle that will ready the Church for the critical days ahead.

John the Baptist.  Much to learn from this greatest forerunner of all time.  Yet, Jesus makes clear the forerunner/prophet of today will experience much greater privilege, which in turn, will require a greater response!

The Bible says 'The Lord will make a short work upon the earth.'  We certainly seem to be coming to those days of 'suddenly' when that 'shortened' work of the Spirit will become exceptionally clear to the Church.  And, revelation of end times events will no longer be subject to endless speculation but clear, sudden indications the time is short!

The recent Abraham Accord in the Middle East is God's way of saying to the Church, 'it's time' to leave a few things behind and enter the 'secret place' of the most high God.  He's beginning to reveal His 'secrets.'

The Day of the Lord. A great day of transition with so many glorious events.  There is debate in the Church regarding that 'day' and just when it will come.  The Bible gives us timing indicators that shed considerable light.

The timing of the return of Christ has prompted much debate in the church.  But the Apostle Paul unveils two great mysteries that must come first.
