5:00 AM comes early at the Evans house. The alarm sounds and we soon rise to begin the day. Both of us head to work and the children must be readied for school. Getting out of bed later than 5:00 always causes trouble. I awoke one day this week four short minutes before the alarm [...]

Hello? Is anyone here? Well, if you are reading this it must mean that you either missed the “rapture” or Harold Camping was dead wrong again with his date setting hysteria. Camping is the 89 year old radio preacher from California who says the rapture was to come yesterday and the actual end of time [...]

The Bible can be understood. God would never tease mankind by giving him a message only to make it incomprehensible. We can know the truth (John 8:32). But some sections of Scripture are more challenging than others. For example, “the abomination of desolation” from Mark 13:14 can be studied and comprehended but against “Thou shalt [...]

There is much talk about the “Rapture” and the events associated with the return of Jesus in judgment. People like to talk about the “signs of the times” and speculate that the return of Jesus must be very soon because of unfolding world events. At the moment of this writing tensions are high on the [...]

This is a question that pops up in some form from time to time. The questioner wants to know what will happen to people who have never heard of God, Jesus Christ, the Bible and salvation. I am going to try and offer a reasonable answer to the question. Let me say in the opening [...]

From time to time we hear people suggest that a 1,000 years is the same with God as 1 day. Is that really true? “But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” (2 Peter 3:8) So yes, [...]

Why are present day Christians so enamored over the idea of an earthly, physical reign of Christ upon David’s throne in Jerusalem? Previously in The Thousand Year Reign of Christ we showed from the Bible that there is no such physical reign. Our Lord ascended back into heaven and will return again in the clouds [...]

There has long been disagreement among Christians concerning the identify of the AntiChrist. We have before posted teaching about the AntiChrist in Identity of the AntiChrist and in Identity of the Antichrist (2). However there is a doctrine that links the AntiChrist with the Man of Sin from 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. We should be able [...]

The Rapture of the righteous faithful is a common teaching of many churches and Christians today. It is central to the many doctrines of premillenialism that are taught in some places. Because this is such a prevalent doctrine we should look carefully at what it teaches and search the Scriptures for a basis of the [...]

Within the current evangelical religious culture there is a great hope and longing for that is commonly known as the thousand year reign of Christ. Also known as the millenial reign of Christ this idea asserts that Jesus will one day return to earth, defeat all the enemies of the cross and will himself sit [...]

One would think that there is nothing suprising still to be found in religion. Quacks have taken almost every possible opportunity to twist the Scriptures to say things never imagined by the Holy Spirit. However, if one thinks this, one would be wrong. The Press-Register newspaper of Mobile, December 6, 2008, carries a story about [...]

In a prior post about the Antichrist we have discussed the identity of the Antichrist by looking at the Bible passages that specifically mention him. We continue here with a look at two more passages on the subject. Antichrist in 1 John 4:3 “…every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this [...]

The identity of the Antichrist is a subject of great and growing interest among both religious and non-religious people. So much has been said about the Antichrist that people are seeking answers to identify this horrendous being and to learn what to expect from his devilish devices. The Bible is the only reliable source for [...]
