What is the Answer to the Question, What is The Sign of Jesus Coming?

National Geographic did a survey about the End of the World back in 2012. With tsunamis, earthquakes, and financial concerns dominating headline news, National Geographic asked what Americans’ thought about a potential “Doomsday scenario. More than 62 percent of Americans thought the world would experience a major catastrophe in the next 20 years. And nearly three out of every four people (71%) envision a major disaster in their lifetime as an act of God, not man. When the question was asked, ”Which of the following, if any, do you think might happen in the United States in the next 25 years? these were the responses: earthquakes (64%), hurricanes (63%) and terrorism (55%) are the most feared, followed by financial collapse (51%), significant blackout (37%), a pandemic (29%) and nuclear fallout (14%). It’s clear from these stats that the ‘End of the World’ is on people’s minds. In today’s podcast, we continue our series on ‘What the Bible says about the End of the World.’

#S4-050: Why Did the Disciples Ask Jesus about the End of the World? [Podcast]

Why Did the Disciples Ask Jesus about the End of the World?

The Danish philosopher, Kierkegaard, tells a parable of a theater where a variety show is proceeding. Each show is more fantastic than the last and is applauded by the audience. Suddenly the manager comes forward. He apologizes for the interruption, but the theater is on fire, and he begs his patrons to leave in an orderly fashion. The audience thinks this is the most amusing turn of the evening, and cheer thunderously. The manager again implores them to leave the burning building, and he is again applauded vigorously. At last, he can do no more. The fire raced through the whole building and the fun-loving audience with it. “And so,” concluded Kierkegaard, “will our age, I sometimes think, go down in fiery destruction to the applause of a crowded house of cheering spectators.”1 In last week’s podcast, we began to delve into some keys to understanding Jesus End-Time message given in Matthew twenty-four. You can rest assured from what Matthew tells us and what we read in the rest of the prophetic scriptures that the end of the world will be no laughing matter.

#S4-049: What the Bible Says about the End of the World [Podcast]

What the Bible Says about the End of the World

I have heard a great many sermons and or verses quoted out of Matthew twenty-four and twenty-five. So many sermons on the five wise and five foolish virgins and none of the sermons explained it just exactly alike. This one would get up and say that this part of the parable meant this and the oil meant that and then the next one would come in and describe these same elements entirely in a different way and in a different light. And, it got so bad until anytime a minister said that they were going to preaching out of these portions of scripture that I would just almost automatically just turn my hearing off and not listen to a word that they had to say. It wasn’t until many many years later did I finally come to understand what these portions of scripture meant. I finally had an explanation that bore witness with my spirit. I thought that it would never happen. So, in the coming weeks, by the help of the Holy Spirit, we are going to delve into these end-time passages from the Word of God and come to a proper understanding of What Are the Signs of the Second Coming of Jesus and of the End of the World?

#S4-045: Why You Should Believe in the Rapture [Podcast]

Here Are Some Reasons Why You Should Believe in the Rapture

God’s taking the church out of the world instantaneously. The Latin term ‘rapio’, which means to “snatch away” or “carry off,” is the source of the English word. While there are differing views of the millennium (Rev. 20:2–7) in relation to Christ’s second coming (e.g., premillennial, postmillennial, and amillennial), nevertheless, all evangelicals affirm a literal return of Christ to the earth preceding the eternal state.1 The Rapture: Why You Should Believe In It, that’s what we are talking about in this week’s Light on Life.

The Second Coming of Jesus: What You Need to Know

The Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ Will Be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords Coming to Revisit Planet Earth

Recently we have finished a podcast about the Rapture of the Church. This podcast will come out the front part of August 2018, so look for it. But in today’s blog post, we want to look at the intimately connected Second Coming of Jesus. The Rapture of the Church precedes the Second Coming on the prophetic timeline. In one sense, you could look at the Second Coming as one event with two parts. Jesus comes for the Church, that’s the first part of “The Coming.” Then, seven years later after the Great Tribulation has occurred, part two of the Second Coming occurs.

Prophetic End Times: What You Need to Know

Martin Luther is quoted as saying that there were only two days on his calendar; today and “that day.”1 In last week’s podcast, we began to talk about certain areas you should understand from the Word of God about ‘that day’, the Day of the Lord, about end-times. These are places in the Bible where our Father God admonished His children to not be ignorant, areas like the Law of Double reference, areas like time. We didn’t quite finish the ‘time aspect’, so we are going to pick right up this week and march on up the road as we talk about Prophetic End-Times: What You Need to Know

#S4-042: Why We Need To Be Really Smart About The Things Of God [Podcast]

We Need to Become Really Smart about the Things of God

When the “unsinkable” Titanic hit an iceberg in the early 1900’s, there was great loss of life. Before the accident, there was an arrogant sense of security in the integrity of the ship. There was little time for evacuation instructions and drills. More time was spent on having good fun and arranging the deck chairs than preparing for an emergency. When the ship began to sink, panic filled the hearts of the passengers. Compounding the tragedy, there were not enough lifeboats for everyone. Consequently, hundreds drowned in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. There are many who are sailing in dangerous waters today. But proper planning will spare many from God’s judgment on the earth.1 Judgment is a part of end times. Just read the book of Revelation and you will see it. We are beginning a brand new series on that very subject of ‘end times’. This what the Lord said about that as I was getting ready to teach the podcast on the Life of John Alexander Dowie. He said these words, ‘I want you to teach the prophetic end-time events. I want you to teach Bible prophecy to my people.’ So, we are heading out that direction and obeying God. End Time Events, What the Bible Says, that’s what we are beginning to talk about on this week’s ‘Light on Life’.
