Did Zephaniah Read the Mayan 2012 Prophecy?

Posted by William Bell on December 24th, 2009

Zephaniah's World Destruction -2012?

Did Zephaniah Read the Mayan 2012 Prophecy? First, who was Zephaniah? He was ninth in the literary order of the minor prophets, the son of Cushi, and great-grandson of Hezekiah. (Zeph. 1:1) He prophesied in the days of Josiah, king of Judah (B.C. 641-610). He was also a contemporary of the prophet Jeremiah.

Zephaniah was an inspired prophet of God. He received his message from the Spirit of God. He prophesied that God would bring the world to an end.

I will utterly consume everything from the face of the land,” says the Lord; I will consume man and beast; I will consume the birds of the heavens, the fish of the sea, and the stumbling blocks along with the wicked. I will cut off man from the face of the land, says (more…)

Does Your Rapture Ready Garment Have Wrinkles?

Posted by William Bell on April 22nd, 2009

Rapture Video

No doubt, all of us have some garments
which tend to wrinkle more than others.

I can think of linen and cotton, which
require some pressing, starch or dry
cleaning to solve the problem.

In the area of eschatology, it may
be wise to ask, “Does Your Rapture
Ready Garment Have Wrinkles?”

We’ve pointed out a couple of the
wrinkles in the Rapture teaching
advanced by “Charting the End Times.

With all the charting in the book, it never addressed (more…)

What Did Charting the End Times Miss On the Rapture of the Church?

Posted by William Bell on April 19th, 2009

Waddya mean it's the end of the world as we kn...

One of the most important elements of events is time, i.e.
when is that event going to occur. Everything in life is an
event in that everything occurs or exists in time.

What Did Charting the End Times Miss on the Rapture of
the Church? One of the most important elements of the
event, —time.

Charting the End Times, a very graphically pleasing book
of charts on eschatology authored by Tim Lahaye and
Thomas Ice, devotes a chapter on the Rapture. It is there
purpose to “chart” the time of the end, i.e. when the last days

Resurrection in 1 Thessalonians 4: Are We Who Are Alive Dead?

Posted by William Bell on February 20th, 2009

: Image via Wikipedia

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, incites emotionally
charged discussions about the resurrection
and the rapture.

Students of John Nelson Darby, credited
with popularizing modern Dispensationalism
cite the text as incontrovertible proof of
the Rapture.

However, these exegetes (scripture
interpreters) violate hermeneutic principles
in their application of the text.

The following demonstrate some of the
errors glossed over by futurists and pre-
tribulation rapture advocates. Resurrection in 1 Thessalonians 4: Are We Who Alive Dead?, addresses the specific audience of the text.

The problem with most interpreters on the Lord’s return is that they read themselves versus the audience into the text. We show this

Will We Face The Great Tribulation?

Posted by William Bell on December 15th, 2008

The Great Tribulation

The great tribulation announced by the
prophets Jeremiah and Daniel precedes
the consummation of the Jewish age.

Will we today face the great tribulation?
Many think so. Others believe that an
Arab-Israel (Zionist) war, in the Middle
East will signal an end time Armageddon.

Many labor under an end time myth. It is
believed that we are headed for the great
tribulation, a precursor of an end time battle
of Armageddon.

Jeremiah wrote of the great tribulation. He called the time of Jacob’s trouble. (Jer. 30:7) The time would be so severe that God likens it to men having babies like women in labor. (more…)

Are You Waiting for the Second Coming?

Posted by William Bell on November 19th, 2008

Are You waiting for the Second Coming?
One church of 45 members in Strong
City New Mexico recently waited till midnight.

Wayne Bent, claims to be anointed by
God as the Messiah. Recently, he and
his followers hopes were dashed while
they waited till midnight for the Rapture.

They were tired of the burden’s of earthly
life and wanted to checkout early, via
deliverance from the Lord.

Somehow, they miscalculated on the
date of the Lord’s return. They expected
to hear the last trumpet sound to end
the year of Jubilee.

Unfortunately, all was silent and according
to reports from Strong City, Mr. Bent, went
to jail.

This is a clear example and logical end
of the erroneous Rapture doctrine.

It leads to the escape mentality desired
by Bent’s 45 adult followers who shared
his disappointment in hope of Christ’s
imminent return.

Are you waiting for the Second Coming?
Before you settle in, Check out the errors
made by the Bent followers:

Does America Need Change, Obama or the Rapture?

Posted by William Bell on November 11th, 2008

In an article by Rapture Ready writer Jack Kelley, the
question is raised, how would Jesus vote? The
undertones of the article subtly suggests that
Jesus would proudly be a “conservative” Republican.

There is a political and religious bias that somehow
believes that to vote Democratic is both ungodly
and unChristian. Wonder how an independent’s
faith is classified?

The Rapture Ready scribe argues that America
was founded as a Christian nation. Well at least
we can say it “professed” to be.

Were these the same “born again” Christians who
claimed land belonging to American Indians as their
own? What Biblical principle did this uphold? Thou
shalt steal? Thou shalt covet?

So, if you want your neighbors land, just shoot him
and move his family on a vacant lot and call it a
reservation! Reserved until when and for whom?
The Rapture? How is that righteousness?

If an alien from Mars landed on earth today and planted
a flag on the White house lawn claiming they discovered
a new nation while Africans who had arrived in American
before them navigated the space ship, by what logic or
Christian principle would America belong to the Martians?

So, the native Americans were discovered by aliens
and that makes it right in the sight of God! Does
America Need Change, Obama or the Rapture?

Will God Establish David’s Throne on Earth?

Posted by William Bell on October 31st, 2008

Who is the new king of Ezekiel 37:22–25 that will reign on
David’s Throne over the reunited kingdom of Judah and Israel?

This prophecy is very important because it says that at that
time God makes Israel one nation again, he would gather
them from every side and bring them into their own land;
and one king shall be over them.

Some take this prophecy as a literal return of Israel to the
land of Palestine citing 1948, as its fulfillment. Premillennialists
have gone on record saying that 1948 was a “Super Sign of
the End ” of the age, meaning the Rapture was imminent and
that Israel had to be restored at that time so that the Rapture
could occur.

Hal Lindsey went so far as to predict the end of the age
within 40 years (one generation) identifying 1988 as the
year it would all come to pass. Well, why are we yet here?

The late John Walvoord wrote that Ezekiel 37:24–25, in
prophesying of David’s rule over the united kingdom, meant
that it requires the second coming of Christ, the establishment
of David’s kingdom on earth, the resurrection of David, and
David’s sharing the throne of Israel as coregent with Christ.

Is Preterism’s Timing of the Resurrection in Eschatology Important?

Posted by William Bell on October 29th, 2008

Many would like to make the subject of the resurrection a matter
of the nature of the resurrection body only. While it is valid to
address and identify the nature of the resurrection body, it is also
valid to address Preterism’s timing of the resurrection in eschatology
if futurists and other rapture ready advocates expect to build a
convincing case.

“When Shall These Things Be” edited by Keith A. Mathison a book that
sought to address the major issues of the preterit view with the hope
of convincingly refuting them, Robert Strimple had these comments
on the issue of time and resurrection.

“Obviously an orthodox Christian response to hyper-preterism must
address the prophetic “time texts” of the New Testament…” , p 290.

Strimple however passes on that attempt, trusting that the editor has
done an adequate job. However, it seems that this impressive line up of
authors did not take the time to read and fully understand the
implications and ramifications of what they had written previously
on the subject of time.

In other words, Kenneth Gentry, Jr. and Keith Mathison, use the very
same text to teach the exact opposite views. This seriously impacts
Strimple’s assumptions on the nature of the resurrection body.
It eats the heart out of his more desirable “methodology” approach. (more…)
