How Does the Transfiguration Confirm the Imminent Coming of Christ?
One of the most intriguing texts on study of eschatology is that of the transfiguration. What happened in that text is more than meets the eye of the average reader. Further, it challenges the modern prophetic concepts of a long drawn out protracted parousia. Our aim in this writing is to answer those questions. Namely, "How does the transfiguration confirm the imminent coming of Christ?"
What is the Abomination of Desolation?
In response to the inquiry of Peter, James, Andrew and John, (Mark 13:3), Jesus answered a question concerning events and the time of his coming. The question, broken down into two parts, focuses upon "when shall these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming (parousia)? The "end of the age" is but part of the same question, (Matthew 24:2). Much of what is said in response hinges on the issue of what is the abomination of desolation? Christ made a direct allusion to the prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27, the events of the 70 weeks of Daniel, particularly ...
When Is the Acceptable Time for Salvation?
The key to understanding New Testament passages is the Old Testament, especially, the prophetic texts. The apostles, inspired of the Holy Spirit, often quoted the Ancient prophetic scriptures to illuminate the meanings. In this manner, they followed the pattern of Christ. This is not more true than for the question, When is the acceptable time for salvation?
Blessed Are the Meek For They Shall Inherit the Earth?
[caption id="attachment_1243" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Lion and Lamb in the Kingdom"][/caption] Just thinking about the beatitudes brings back memories of my mother and our family meals, especially on Sundays. Born the middle child of nine, we each sat around the table eager to share our meal whether breakfast or dinner. However, our mother had one rule, not one morsel of bread until we each had said our grace. That meant reciting at least one of the beatitudes. Sometimes to help speed the process along, we'd look for the shortest verse, like "Jesus wept." But in most cases it was always special to cite ...
2008 “Bible Prophecy” Singing the Blues?
2008 Bible Prophecy Sings the Blues?, is a name I've given to another modern-day prediction gone bad.

He offered to send them to me without charge in the form of PDF files which I graciously accepted. He then went on to tell me that these were some of the greatest prophetic writings ever
Famines in Various Places, Signs of the End?
In reply to the disciples question, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?, Christ spoke of famines. Are famines in various places signs of the end? What role do famines play in the signs leading up to the end?
Earthquakes in Divers Places, Signs of the Times?
More end time prophets are on the horizon, predicting the end of the world from a series of recent earthquakes in California and elsewhere around the country. But, are earthquakes in divers places, signs of the times? There are so many earthquakes that occur every day that they don't even make the news. Why, because earthquakes are a common occurrence. This information can easily be checked through the US Geological Earthquake Hazards Survey Program, (USGS). There are so many earthquakes that occur daily that they only measure those of 2.5 rating or higher in and near the U.S. To point to ...
