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…)

Gog and Magog Deceives the Nations

Acclaimed reporter and former Vietnam correspondent, Alan Hart, is the author of “Zionism The Real Enemy of the Jews, Volume One: The False Messiah. In the prologue  titled “Waiting for the Apocalypse, p. 26, he cites staff writer Jane Lampman’s report in (Monitorworld, March 6-12, 2004).

Her report headlined: THE END OF THE WORLD: THE DEBATE HEATS UP.  She wrote that “the interest in end-times prophecy has spread beyond their circles and is not only shaping people’s lives, but even influencing United States foreign policy. She referred to the minority of fundamentalist American Christians.

(CUFI) Christians United for Israel, lobbyist John Hagee’s video “Countdown to the Final End” lists his 10 reasons for believing that our generation will see the end of the world, even if it means a nuclear holocaust between the state of Israel and the Arab world. According to the back cover of his book, Jerusalem Countdown, such a catastrophe “will affect every person on planet earth.”

Many Christians, religious and non-Zionist Jews fear being labeled “anti-Semitic” for speaking out against the Zionist movement, (more…)

John Hagee – 10 Roadsigns to the End of the Terminal Generation?


Jews Against Zionism (book)

Religious Jews Speak Out

Today we continue with the third of our segment of John Hagee – 10 Roadsigns to the End of the Terminal Generation?” In this, we focus on the claim that Judaism  is the only nation created by a sovereign act of God.  In as clear words as could be stated, Jesus’ parable of the vinedressers exposes the fate of the Jews who rejected Christ, their Messiah.

“But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’ So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?” They said to Him, “He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.” Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: The Stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.  And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.” Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that he was speaking of them.” (Matthew 21:42-44)

Now we ask in the light of the above, from whom would the kingdom be taken? The answer must be from those who were in (more…)

Countdown to the Final End or A Miscalculation?


13Hagee

Eschatology Podcast

In his video posted at clipser.com, John Hagee lists 7 of his ten reasons the battle of Armageddon is imminent. In fact, two years ago, he said the coming of the Lord was so near that one could literally hear his footsteps shuffling along the clouds of heaven. Hmmm! Hold on, while I turn down my radio. Well, I’m not listening right now, and unless the FedEx plane flying over my house can be called a shuffle, I can’t hear it. Can you?  Is it a Countdown to the Final End or a Miscalculation?

Below are the seven reasons Hagee lists in the video as signs of the imminent end.

  1. Daniel prophesies that at the time of the end, knowledge shall be increased.This sounds pretty good on the surface. Especially when someone uses it to compare the secular, technical, and political knowledge of the 6th century B.C., with that of the world today. Is that prophecy or just plain old common sense? Could not anyone have foretold that common knowledge would increase. In fact, I can prophesy that 2600 years from today technology, science, mathematical, health, social and political knowledge etc will all advance beyond where it is today.What society has ever witnessed any different over time. If that is a sign of the end, it could have happened at any interval of past history.We suggest that two major errors in the (more…)

Resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15, Where Did You Start? Part 2


Welcome to part 2 of “Resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15, Where Did You Start? I’m sure that you’re like everyone else with many things to do and very little time to get it done. Well, at least that’s what it’s like for me. Taking the time to write a blog post challenges me at times, like now. But, I promised to follow up from yesterday so here we go. After looking at the source of 1 Corinthians 15 from Hosea 5:13f, we continue to examine chapter 6 in the light of what we discover there.

If Ham and Eggs Can Talk, Why Can’t the Stars in the Day of the Lord?


little-rascalsIf I were you, I would be a bit curious of a title, If Ham and Eggs Can Talk, Why Can’t the Stars, in the Day of the Lord? Don’t you think it’s a rather
interesting eschatological theme? Well, here’s what provoked the title.

As a child I remember growing up watching the Little Rascals on TV, before going to school. On one episode, a Stymie persuaded whom I vaguely
remember might have been his friends to cook him some ham and eggs. He told him that ham and eggs could talk. Well, after a little persuasion and
determination, they fried some ham and eggs, and upon his disappointment of their utter speechlessness, left the meal on the table oozing with aroma
and flavor for Stymie’s hungry stomach.

When Stymie was confronted by his friends, saying, “I thought you said ‘ham and eggs could talk.’, Stymie replied as he chomped down the food, “These
ham and eggs are saying (more…)

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?

Can We Go Back to the Future on the End Time?


back_to_the_future_on_the_end_time1If there has ever been a subject hard to be understood it is that of the “already but not yet” of New Testament eschatology. In a chapter from “The Last Things” edited by Carl Braaten and Robert W. Jenson, includes a chapter on hints from Science for Eschatology — and Vice Versa, written by George L. Murphy. It isan attempt to understand the end of the world in the light of science.

Can we go back to the future on the end time? What this means is that we must go backwards to get to the Bible future for the end, not to the future.  Of course, an interpretation based upon science may rules out such a notion. However, God did not write eschatology as science. In the sixth century John Philoponus, who in debating with pagan Proclus, argued (more…)
