Resurrection and Mystery Babylon


Resurrection and Mystery Babylon go together like chocolate and peanut butter.  They are inseparable in Scripture. We endeavor in this writing to show that the identity and judgment of Mystery Babylon corresponds to the time of the resurrection.

Mystery Babylon and the Last Trumpet

In Revelation 11:8-18, Mystery Babylon is identified as the city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. This clearly marks Jerusalem as the subject of the mystery. Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem outside the gates, (Heb. 13:12). During His ministry he stated that it could not be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem, (Lk. 13:33).

Jerusalem had been likened to Sodom, a city noted for harlotry in the past, Isaiah 1:21; Ezk. 16:48-49, 53-57. In the Revelation text, 11:8, it is now spiritually called Sodom, i.e. Sodom (more…)

Meaning of Revelation

In a few minutes I will share with you
a message about What is the Meaning
of Revelation 22:12?

Before I do, let me recap an event which
happened on yesterday.

As we were riding home in the car on
yesterday, my grandson and grand-
daughter decided to spend the afternoon
with us.

They often come over on Saturdays, because they like to eat large helpings of grandmothers Sunday dinners.

During our ride home in the car, my grandson brought up questions about

Prophecy in the Apocalypse: What Is the Meaning of Revelation 1:7?


The Destruction of Jerusalem by Titus

The key to successful interpretation of Bible
prophecy in the New Testament is to always
find it’s source in the Old Testament to unlock
the meaning.

That was the method of the Christ and the
apostles. Prophecy in the Apocalypse: What
is the meaning of Revelation 1:7?,
explores
those concepts.

Failure to follow this simple interpretive guideline
leads to unbelief, frustration and all sorts of
fanciful interpretations and doctrines.

Most people pick up the Book of Revelation because of their fascination with prophecy and intrigue for the signs and symbols within. Immediately they assume a posture of predicting the future. Current events,

Who Is the Ancient of Days in Daniel 7?

Daniel 7, a hotbed for eschatological theorizing,
continues to baffle commentators, past and
present.

The solution to the identity of the Ancient of
Days is in my opinion, one that is without
controversy.

The most common designation this obviously
Divine character is God himself. This view
largely stems from the reading of the text.

Variant renderings are:

The Son of Man comes to the Ancient of Days
The Son of Man comes as the Ancient of Days

In the first rendering the Father is meant. In
the second it refers to the Son. Can we solve
this debate of Who is the Ancient of Days in
Daniel 7?

How Can You Be Raptured from Financial Armageddon?

There is no question that a financial crisis was a sign
of the end time which came to pass in the first century.
The book of Revelation speaks of a beast who affected
the entire economy.

Under his designs none but those who had the
mark of the beast could buy or sell. (Revelation 12:17).
This had the net effective of a severe financial crisis.

Have you ever experienced a financial crisis in your life?
I remember back in the 80’s when I came very near
having my automobile re-possessed and within hours
of foreclosure on my house.

At the time, I worked in commission sales full-time, but
it seemed I only got paid part time. The problem had
nothing to do with the business or the economy. Some
thrived.

It had everything to do with my mind-set which largely
operated out of fear. That and the automobile company
pushing my back against the wall with demands for
payment.

Needless to say, I did not have the money. Two months
behind on my car note for about the 3rd time left me
with no wiggle room for a financial escape.

On one day in January 1986, I received a call from the
collection department threatening to pull my car. If that
happened I would not be able to work and make sales.

At my response to the demands of the collection agency,
I never in a millennium could have imagined what happened
next.
