The Sky Is Falling! The End of the World Is Near, Again?
The End of the World is Almost Here! God will end it all on May 21, 2011. Haven't you heard this? Aren't we about sick of this hype? Don't the people who make this claims know that we can track their record of success (excuse me, failure) from the 80's 90's and early 2000's? Have they ever accurately predicted the end of the world? No! So what makes them think they will succeed this time? They have no more evidence than they had before and they ignore what the ...

The Kingdom of God Has Arrived?
A great concern with many people is whether the kingdom of God is near? How can we know? The most reasonable way to discover the answer to this question is to inquire from the scriptures. What does the Bible say about the kingdom of God?
It is quite well known that Jesus announced the coming of his kingdom. In so doing, he stated that it was both at hand and would arrive before those living in his day died? Why is this not well known, publicized and preached?
For example, in Mark 1;14, Jesus urged repentance saying ...

Our question is can we use Leviticus 19:28 as a text to condemn wearing tattoos? The question is not merely about practice of body art as it is about the proper use and application of the Law of Moses. Our interest is to show ...

Is God Late On Fulfilled Prophecy?
In the previous study, we ended in Isaiah 28:14-19, on a discussion of the scoffers. Now we address the subject, A Day Is As A Thousand Years - Is God Late on Fulfilled Prophecy? Before delving specifically into that question, it is essential that we continue our thoughts on the scoffers. We pointed out that God prophesied some 800 years before it occurred that they would come with lies saying the end was not near.
That means that if they were lying as scoffers against an imminent coming, then God, Christ and the Apostles had to ...

Is God Late On Fulfilled Prophecy?
Futurists are well aware of the immanency of end times Bible prophecy. This fact is evident in the many attempts to explain or defend the so-called delay of the Lord's coming. In other
words, they believe God is late and they are ready to write him an excuse to let him back into prophecy class, like a student with a note from a parent. There is no escaping the fact that Jesus and His apostles taught, and both believers and non-believers' expectations from those teachings was an imminent end of the world. To this very day, ...
