An earthquake is coming. Devastating images will assail us. It will stagger the United States of America, if and when we force Israel to divide into two states. All the earth is His, but Israel, that tiny strip of land contested more than any other......
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard, their voice has gone out into all......
I worship a God who sovereignly moves on history to bring forth His purposes, who orchestrates circumstances with exquisite timing to preclude any confusion on our part that He is behind what is taking place. Recognizing God’s exquisite orchestration of circumstances has become my joy......
The eschatology of the apocalyptic gospel tells us that there is a two-age framework to history with The Day of the Lord coming to divide those ages. But the heart of the apocalyptic gospel tells us God’s reason for doing what He has said He......
Overhead a narrative is being told—the apocalyptic gospel— of what is, what has been, and what is yet to be. It tells us that no matter how it looks, He has not left us. No matter how deep the night, darkness will not prevail. No matter......
To divide history into two ages is a very strange thing. You don’t open any history book and find two ages. There are many ways to divide history, but “to divide it into two ages takes a radical commitment to a singular point of view.”......
The Bible brings us a message that has been streaming to us for thousands of years. Its ancient Semitic beginnings have produced a literature, whose meaning is not readily grasped by the modern Western mind. Even those who believe the Bible is the word of......
Years ago as I was reading Ephesians, time stood still for a moment, and I was suddenly standing in a time tunnel that ended in a prison cell where Paul was writing the words I was reading. When he got to verse 16, he paused......
For weeks now, since the beginning of this year, I keep seeing a path opening a way through the sea. I know God is giving me a picture symbolizing what He is doing, as He moves forward with His plan. But if God wants us to......
No one can look into the unseen to see a rogue wave coming. God alone knows what is headed toward us. A rogue wave rises suddenly and massively, without warning, slamming you with the destructive power of Hell. But God will ride it out with......
The shakings and storms are not the story right now, but rather, what God is working out. He is taking us into uncharted territory. He is still a powerful deliverer, the God of angel armies who destroys or can save a nation in a day. ......
Simon Peter said to him: ‘Lord, where are you going?’ ‘Where I am going’, Jesus answered, ‘you cannot now follow; but afterwards you will follow.’ Peter said to him: ‘Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.’......
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 Who has ascended into heaven, or......
Long before I was a believer, I was aware of how a seemingly unrelated event would be timed to guide me in an upcoming circumstance. I was a Junior in high school and ducked into a Woolworths one afternoon to grab a few things. There......
Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you. (Genesis 12:1) The Jewish people were chosen by God to live out a story in which each of us might see......
If conspiracy theories could be seen, they would be like dark winds doing violent battle, stirring up chaos, churning up fear, and turning men’s minds from God. . But it only makes the indisputable evidence of God’s hand moving through, and even using, the conspiracies of men......
The Christian faith has “a strong and focused sense of the future, with belief in the Second Coming of Yeshua (1) as the most distinctive detail … He told them he was coming back. They believed he was coming back. They continue to believe it.......
A sign points to something beyond itself. Israel is a sign pointing to God, pointing to another King and another kingdom, whose authority originates beyond the earth, ruling and overruling in the affairs of men. The God of the Jewish people, the God of the Bible,......
And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed in the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and crying out in the pain and agony of giving birth. Then another sign......
Only one narrative continues to authenticate itself over thousands of years. Scripture streams from eternity into time, from the unseen into the seen, from the spiritual realm into the physical realm—to confirm what it foretells in the unfolding events of history. In Genesis, God promised......
I finished The Oracle by Jonathan Cahn just as war broke out in Israel. Having just been shown how God works discreetly through the affairs of men to advance the fulfillment of His purpose for Israel, I’m convinced that no matter what nefarious plans are......
Bill and I are facilitating a group taking a deep dive into Jonathan Cahn’s videos, from his first book through his last, to listen for the progression of the message God has given him. This is the context for what follows. Very often when I......
It was late summer of 2012, and I was skimming through emails about to delete one from an organization I didn’t know, when God said , “No, open it and listen.” An hour later I sat there stunned; having heard for the first time the......
Our most powerful prayers are wrested from the depths of our soul. We might pray with stirring eloquence, but if our soul is not in them, they will be inauthentic and have no power to rise before God … which is why the broken stammered......
The lines are drawn for us, but faith acting through prayer can color the future. After killing James, the brother of John, Herod saw that it pleased the Jewish leaders, so he took Peter and threw him into jail, intending to kill him also. “So......
What causes His light to be at home in me? What colors my heart and mind to be like His? What sensitizes me to the current of His will moving powerfully through all things to accomplish what He is working out? What causes me to......
How long can we continue as a nation without the reverential fear of God? In the profane in-your-face excesses of Pride parades and semi-nude adult frolicking among children, in the utter lawlessness of our governmental institutions, there is no fear of God. This has happened on......
IN JESUS The Word Became Flesh Eternity Entered Time Infinite Became Finite Light Entered Darkness Creator Joined the Created All-Sufficient Became Dependent Ever-Present Help Became Helpless KIng of Kings Humbled Himself Master Chose to Serve High Priest Gave Himself As An Offering God Became Man......
My van brimmed with small children as we neared the kindergarten, their sweet chatter providing a needed contrast to my irascibility. In my heated mental struggle, Scripture’s contradictory statements were not making it any easier to pin down the truth. Suddenly time stood still. And......
From the thundering descriptions of God’s voice sounding from Sinai to the subtlety of His still, small voice recorded elsewhere, nothing is more important than to know and obey His voice. Clenching his jaw, tension in his stomach, our son Matt gunned his accelerator, pulling......
I was watching The Passion of the Christ again this Easter, when a short poignant moment between Pontus Pilate and his wife, Claudia, stood out to me. He has just had an exchange with Jesus, causing him to question what it means to hear the......
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 The Narrative makes it clear......
For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God? It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect. Enoch lived on earth in deep antiquity, the seventh generation from Adam, before the flood, when men’s......
I believe in realms and ages and time before earth existed. I believe that eternity is not just endless time, but beyond time and before time, holding all of time… with every moment of the past, present and future always unfolding there. I believe that......
As Judas walked into the night to betray him, Jesus chose that moment, before the cross, before the resurrection, before his ascension, to cry out, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him; if God is glorified in Him, God......
Being taught, being led, being forewarned, being held up when you think you cannot stand, being comforted by a perfectly worded message to meet your specific need in a given moment of time, being shown what God is working for — this is what the......
The keen awareness that his time was short spread like pale light filling the dome of Jesus’ conscious mind. There were no decisions to be made, everything was in order, and nothing was catching him by surprise. He was prepared. He understood what God was......
Overhead a narrative is being told of what is, what has been, and what is yet to be. It tells us that no matter how it looks, He has not left us. No matter how deep the night, darkness will not prevail. Like the first......
It was April, 2020, and Covid was raging across the globe, when I noticed the stunning coincidence. It was Passover. For the first time in history since the very first Passover in Egypt, when Israel had sheltered in place as families, every family across the......
I keep seeing the Titanic going down in the cold North Atlantic at night. As the ship sinks, bedlam ensues with people being suddenly engulfed by the cold dark water, terrified. It is too late to learn how to swim. But for those who find......
