Prophecy Update
What's new in prophecy update circles? NASA has a website that details the total lunar eclipses which will occur over the next billion years. When these eclipses occur, they create what appears to be a "red moon." This is what is believed to be the concept behind Joel's prophetic sun turning to darkness and the moon into blood.
NASA has tracked that two total lunar eclipses (blood moon) surrounded by darkness occurred in 1948, the year Israel declared itself a state and again in 1967, when they claimed part of Jerusalem. What prophecy update prophets suggest to us is that ...

Kingdom Parable of the Wedding Feast
Matthew 22 contains the Kingdom Parable of the Wedding Feast. In these fourteen verses, much about man's relationship to God is summed up in this parable. Additionally, it is definitely an end times parable having much to say concerning the wedding feast.
The reader should notice that this kingdom parable is a direct commentary on Ephesian 5:23f and Revelation 19:7-8, where the marriage of the Lamb comes at the fall of Babylon. More on this later.
The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son. He sent invitations through his ...

Leftbehind and the Tribulation Period
Some of the most popular Leftbehind books on eschatology are based on the mythological teaching of a future Rapture of the saints on earth. The
future Tribulation Period teaching books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins have steered so many in the wrong direction regarding the end times.
The idea that God will one day en mass remove all Christians from the earth is totally unfounded in Scripture. In fact, it is diametrically opposite to what the Biblical text says. The principle which must be kept in mind is that we're discussing judgment passages.
Christ did not leave ...

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.

I will utterly consume everything from the face of the land," says the Lord; I will consume man and beast; I will ...
The Acceptable Year of the Lord
December 19th, 2009 | Dispensationalism | 4 Comments
The Acceptable Year of the Lord. A major failure of end times prophecy teaching is the inability to make the transition from national geo-centric Israel to spiritual Christo-centric Israel. It is the chief source from a biblical view for the support of Dispensational Zionism. Ultra-literalism describes their method of interpretation. Stephen Sizer points out that often when quoting texts, Dispensationalists supply their interpretation right in the text. (Zion's Christian Soldier's, p. 34)
For example, when Hal Lindsey writes of the holy place in Matthew 24:15, he adds the words . Yet, no where in verse 15 is there any indication ...
