The Kingdom of God and Resurrection
1 Corinthians 15 is butchered by most interpreters, especially the text regarding inheriting the kingdom of God, (v. 50). In this writing, I want to suggest another angle from which to consider the meaning of inheriting the kingdom so that the focus is not on human bodies coming out of graveyards.

Hagee offers Ten Road Signs” which he believes confirms that we are living in the end of the age. The second of those signs is taken from Zechariah 14:12-15, a text he believes speaks of the plague of nuclear warfare and/or chemical weapons. This he calls the "Plague of the Middle East."

The Abomination of Desolation
Matthew 24 mentions 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)?
