How Does the Rapture of the Church Play Out On The Great Stage

Are you looking for Jesus to return in the glorious event mentioned in First Thessalonians four known as the Rapture of the Church? Famous Bible Expositor G. Campbell Morgan, said, “I never begin my work in the morning without thinking that perhaps He may interrupt my work and begin His own. I am not looking for death. I am looking for Him.”1 Are you looking for Him? The early believers were not looking for something to happen, they were looking for Someone to come. Looking for the train to arrive is one thing, but looking for someone we love to come on that train is another matter.2 I was particularly moved by this story told by Joseph Stowell president of Moody Bible Institute. He said, “One day, while visiting a home for mentally handicapped children operated by a Christian friend, Joseph noticed the tiny handprints of children covering the window. Stowell remarked about them to his friend. “Oh, those,” he replied. “The children here love Jesus, and they are so eager for Him to return that they lean against the windows as they look up to the sky.”3 Little children are looking for Jesus to return. What about all of you big children? That’s why we are focusing on the matter of How Does the Rapture of the Church Play Out On The Great Stage. All on this week’s Light On Life.

What’s So Important about the Days of Noah?

Podcast: Light on Life Season Five Episode Seven

What Do the Days of Noah Have to Do with End-Times?

Jesus said concerning His Second Coming that no man, no angel, not even Jesus Himself knows the day or the hour of His return. Only the Father God knows it. But, one thing Jesus did tell us was that His coming would be like the days of Noah. What did Jesus mean by that? What were the days of Noah like? That’s what we are going to take a look at in this weeks Light on Life.

#S5-006: What You Need to Know about Israel as the Fig Tree [Podcast]

What You Need to Know about Israel and the Fig Tree

The disciples asked Jesus about the end of the world in Matthew twenty-four. In the last podcast, we’ve looked at the Tribulation timeline up to and including the Battle of Armageddon. Right on the tail end of these comments, Jesus instructs His disciples to look at the fig tree and to learn it’s lesson. When it puts out leaves, you know that summer is near. What did He mean by that? Should we know about the fig tree as a symbol for Israel? What is the lesson we are to learn? That’s what we are going to take a look at in this week’s Light on Life.

Seeing Jesus Remarkable Mission in the Light of Prophecy

by

You Can See Jesus in the Prophetic Scriptures

Hebrew 2:9 encourages us to see Jesus who was made lower than the angels so that He could suffer death for every man. But not only can you see Jesus in the pages of the New Testament. You can see Him in the pages of the Old. You can see Him in the prophetic scriptures themselves.

What is Significant About 490 Years in End-Time Events?

What is Significant about 490 Years in End-Time Events? This image that Daniel interpreted gives us a clue.

The number 490 comes up in scripture in connection with Daniels End-Time timeline. What is the significance of that number to me as a believer in Jesus and how does it fit into Daniel chapter 9, the bedrock of Bible prophecy? That’s what we are going to take a look at in today’s blog.

What Is the Bedrock of Bible Prophecy?

by

The Prophet Daniel's Seventy Weeks Prophecy is the Bedrock of Bible Prophecy

Daniel chapter nine lays the groundwork for the chronology of End-Time events. But, this understanding came to Daniel after a season of prayer for his own people. When God answered Daniels intercession, He did so in an exceeding abundant fashion. The God who is more than enough gave Daniel way more than he asked for. That’s how He is. He is more than enough or we can say a ‘way too much’ God. And, He will do the same for you. In today’s post, we begin to look at Daniels. Seventy Year Prophecy which is the bedrock for understanding the timeline for End-Times.

Revelation Details the Ned of the World

What do these dates have in common (1248, 1306, 1689, 1792, 1836, 1844, 1914, 1936, 1960, 1974, 1981, 1988, 1989, 1992, 1994, 2011)? They all represent the times at which people predicted that the Second Coming of Christ would occur. No one, not even Jesus knows the exact time of Christ’s coming (Matthew 24:36). What we do know is this: Christ’s coming will be unexpected and dramatic. “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up” (2 Peter 3:10).1. In this podcast, we continue our series on End-Times by looking further at Jesus answer to the question, ‘What shall be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world.”

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]

by

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?

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
