"The Late Great Charlie Kirk: & Christian Nationalism"

You may have heard the term "Christian nationalism" used with contempt by the Left after the Charlie Kirk memorial and got the distinct impression it was something you didn't want to touch with a ten-foot pole.

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins  explains why:

"Christian leaders have long held the Left-coined term "Christian nationalism" as a perjorative to stop believers from speaking about national issues. They are stretching that term to suggest that anyone bringing faith into the public square is advocating for "Christian nationalism".

Stephen Coughlin of  Unconstrained Analytics and a Lincoln Fellow at the Claremont Institute agrees:

"Christians should recognize the term 'Christian nationalism' as part of a campaign designed to delegitimize you. It directly attacks American Christians for being politically active. As such, it's an attack on identity. It denies your right to express a faith-informed point of view."

Ben Johnson of The Washington Stand put it this way:

"The ill-defined term "Christian nationalism" has enjoyed a boom of media coverage in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assasination, almost universally negative. The New Republic brands the beliefs as 'authoritative political ideology'. Time calls Christian nationalism "the greatest threat to democracy in America today."

What does the God of the Bible call it? Being salt & light, a watchman on the wall. A person fully engaged with a commitment to high ethical standards and service to both God and His people. In other words, a person after God's own heart, a person like the late great Charlie Kirk.

A wise man once said: "A watchman on the wall is someone who is trained in the word of God and sensitive to the Holy Spirit. They have eyes that aren't cloudy and a mind that is sober. Their heart is to protect those who are weak and young in their faith. They operate in love but are fierce against evil. They are ready in season and out of season to jump into duty. The church needs watchmen on the wall today who will sound the alarm when the enemy tries to deceive us." -- Chuck Musselwhite, Daily Walk

"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."  (2TIMOTHY 2:15).

"Will The Rapture Happen on the Feast of Trumpets?"

The Feast of Trumpets (aka Rosh Hashanah) falls on September 23rd & 24th this year and prophecy buffs all over the planet are watching and waiting.

Why? Because of the seven holidays that make up the ancient festival cycle of Israel, four have already come to pass and been fulfilled. The next one-- The Feast of Trumpets--is expected to be fulfilled in the Rapture of the Church.

Like an outline of history, each feast day is a pattern that shadows a major prophetic event.

The first four, (Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Pentacost), were fulfilled when Jesus came the first time. The next three will be fulfilled during the last seven years of history.

These appointed times (literally 'dress rehearsals') provide a panarama of God's prophetic plan. They are an overview of history that has profound implications for every one of us!

Consider:

• On Passover, Jesus became the sacrificial Lamb of God that takes away the sin of all those who believe, repent and come under His blood for salvation.
• During the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the sinless Christ died to give us, in the place of our own, the "Bread of Life" eternally, as a gift to all who believe.
• On the Feast of First Fruits, Jesus arose from the dead and 50 days later on Pentacost He sent His Spirit as a seal or guarantee of our salvation.

Interestingly, the Greek word for 'guarantee' can also mean 'engagement ring'. So the Church became betrothed to Christ when the Holy Spirit came on Pentacost.

Next up? The Feast of Trumpets, (Rosh Hashanah, in modern times) known as the Wedding of Messiah. This feast is a picture of a Jewish wedding when the groom surprises his bride and comes for her "like a thief in the night".

Because the Feast of Trumpets is the only feast that occurs on the New Moon following exactly 29.5 days after the last one, it means it could come either 29 or 30 days later. So when Jesus said, "No man knows the day or hour of His return", it could have been a reference to the Feast of Trumpets.

Will it be this year? We don't know, but if it is, the world will go from normal to experiencing the wrath of God in a split second. 

If nothing happens on Rosh Hashanah (this year), it's because God is being patient, not wanting anyone to perish, so He's giving more time for people to repent (2 Peter 3:9).

But that day will come (eventually) as unexpectedly as a thief. And with the world circling the drain as it is right now, all of us should be watching and waiting. And let's not forget, He may just come on a random day and surprise us all.

A wise man once said: "God's Word tells us that there will be one generation of believers who will never know death. These believers will be removed from the earth before the Great Tribulation...that's the 'blessed hope' for true believers. For those left behind because they refused to believe in the Son of God revealed in the Scriptures, their only hope is to repent & believe or face eternal ruin separated from all that is good."  -- Hal Lindsey, author

"But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then, the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and everything in them will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be exposed to judgment" (2 PETER 3:10).

"Dreams & Visions: No One Knows The Day Or The Hour...Or Do They?"

Is it just us, or have you noticed a huge uptick in dreams & visions all over social media? Hashtag almost anything "End Times" and you're going to find an avalanche of people claiming they've had a dream or (better yet) a vision regarding this coming Fall of 2025.

And then there's the You Tube sensation, Joshua Mhlakela from South Africa, who's giving us the exact time-frame of (you guessed it!) the Rapture of the Church: September 23-24,2025 on Rosh Hashanah.

True? We have our doubts. Sensational? You betcha! Our advice? Study God's word for yourself. Pray and proceed with caution, because not one Rapture "date-setter" in all of history has ever been right before. The Bible says "No one knows the day or the hour" (to which Joshua replies "Because it's a 2-day holiday, no one can know which day or which hour, so it became a Jewish idiom meaning The Feast of Trumpets).

It's always advisable to approach any content of this sort with discernment and critically evaluate the information.

As current events in the Middle East continue to align with specific prophecies regarding Israel, it is increasingly obvious that the birth pains described in Scripture have begun....which some take as a cue to zero in on the doom & gloom. 

 "The Book of Revelation delves into grave details using remarkable symbols of judgment," says S. Douglas Woodward of Faith-Happens. "Each broken seal discloses a new horror; each trumpet portends a new calamity; each vial grows increasingly more horrible."

"If we dwell on these images of doom, no doubt we too would become gloomy," cautions Woodward. "Nevertheless, the Bible consistently offers a starkly contrasted message: the greatest day for those who believe in Christ, comes on the worst day for those that don't."

In other words, the doom & gloom has a purpose. For the unbeliever, these "birth-pains" are a warning: seek God while He may be found; receive the redemption His Son suffered and died to purchase for you before it's too late.

For the believer and student of Bible prophecy, these same birth-pains are an amazing, faith-building, fear-of-God producing, awe-inspiring wonder to watch as events unfold exactly as God said they would in His word.

Remember, the purpose of Bible prophecy is not to predict the future, but to authenticate the message.

And what is the main message of the Bible?

Hope! God is the creator of everything. He has a plan and a purpose to redeem not only those of us who believe that Jesus died in our place and rose again as our Savior, but His entire creation as well.

"Now we live with a wonderful expectation because Jesus Christ rose again from the dead. For God has reserved a priceless inheritance for His children...It will be revealed on the last day for all to see. So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead..." (1PETER 1:3-6)

Eventually, there will be a new heaven and a new earth where everything (including us) must be born again. But first, like any birth--there are birth pains. And while it's tempting to try to figure out the day or the hour, the only things we can know for sure, is what Scripture actually says.

A wise man once said: "Night is coming...a darkness that will cover this globe in suffering and sorrow such as we have never known. But we must not sit and wring our hands about the state of the world. God has provided a way to escape the coming night. Now is the time to tell everyone about the hope of a brand new world waiting for us." -- David Jeremiah, author

"So I pray that God who gives you hope, will keep you happy and full of peace as you believe in Him. May you overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." (ROMANS 15:13)

"Study: 'Staying Positive As Good For You As Exercise'"

Want to live a longer, more fulfilling life?

Don't worry, be happy.

That's right gang--being an optimist could lead to a longer, healthier life according to new research. 

"Happiness is good for the body as well as the mind," asserts study author Hayami Koga, Ph.D. candidate at the Harvard T.H. Chah School of Public Health. In fact, Koga believes "staying positive is as good for you as exercise and can add many years to your life."

But these are turbulent times. Every day the world grows darker and more dangerous. For those of us who study Bible prophecy, it has become clear that the "birth pains" as described in the Bible have begun. And as every mother knows, once the pains begin they only get worse until it's over.

How can we be happy and optimistic in times like these?

Well, according to the World Health Organization, most people can't. Depression and anxiety disorders are going through the roof. Globally, more than 300 million  (and climbing) people of all ages suffer from depression and many millions more have anxiety disorder.

Unfortunately, global trends are anything but optimistic...and yet God expects us to be happy. Is it possible given today's circumstances?

Andre Van Belkum of Life, Hope & Truth Ministries thinks so:

"The Creator of our bodies and minds has given us a handbook as an assured, dependable and unfailing source of knowledge. It outlines basic principles and instructions for daily living.

"If applied, these guidelines will lead us into a life guaranteed to produce lasting happiness and contentment. Rejection of these principles will undoubtably produce heartache and unending sorrow. These biblical guidelines are not magical formulas, but practical rules of daily conduct that govern the way to happiness.

"The Bible contains the reason you were created. It contains God's plan for you and what He expects from you. It explains where the world is heading and why--and how God is going to rescue it. It contains the blueprint for living a successful, meaningful life in the present, and inheriting eternity in the future."

And yet, the vast majority of people refuse to read it.

A wise man once said: "The words of God are as timeless and powerful today as the day they were first recorded." -- Life, Hope & Truth Ministries 

"Happy are they who are without sin in their ways, walking in the law of the Lord. Happy are they who keep His unchanging word, searching after Him with all their heart" (PSALM 119:1-2).

"Antisemitism: A Sign From God?"

Bible prophecy 101:  Israel is at the epicenter of pretty much everything--past, present and future. In fact, all of human history revolves around the tiny nation of Israel.

Some believe Israel only came into existence in 1948. Not true. Israel has historical roots dating back millennia when God first rescued them from Egyptian slavery and promised them a land of their own--Canaan.  Often referred to as the "Promised Land," Canaan was renamed Israel by God Himself. 

The promise of this land is a key element of the covenant God made with Abraham and his decendants that God said would last forever. This covenant does not depend on the Jews being faithful, obedient or good enough. God made the covenant dependant on only one thing: God's promise to them.

That's not to say God hasn't disciplined His chosen people. He has, by scattering them among the nations, until the appointed time...when He promised to bring them back again to the land of Israel (forever this time) in the "latter days" (AKA in the end times or last generation) which turned out to be 1948.

You may have noticed Israel has been getting a lot of press lately, as the pace of biblical prophecy quickens like labor pains. And while we may see a period of "pseudo"peace ahead, according to the Bible, antisemitism will rise exponentially as we approach the end of the age, until the entire world comes against Israel at Armageddon. 

Even now, a "new breed" of hostility against Jewish people rivals the racism shown them during the early 1940s. Eschatology tells us this hatred will only deepen as the Day draws near.         

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is woven with predictions. In fact, more that 1/4 of the Bible is prophecy. Most of them (roughly 80%) have already been fulfilled with 100 % accuracy.

These prophecies are very specific, provable events. And while most of them revolve around the nation of Israel, God had you in mind when he designed them. How so? 

God chose prophecy as the vehicle to authenticate the Bible. How better to prove One's existence and power over world events than to tell history in advance? Fulfilled prophecy conveys the unique signature of God, and is a powerful proof to all of us, but especially to an unbelieving world. Bible prophecy is one of the ways God chose to reveal Himself to you. 

"I pray that you will begin to understand the incredible greatness of His power for us who believe Him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms" (EPHESIANS 1:19,20).

"Two Prophectic Time Markers You Need To Know"

Rumor has it Israel is about to strike the Iranian nuclear facilities. Will they? Who knows--we've heard that song before.

We do know from Bible prophecy that Iran, Russia & Turkey (among others) will eventually launch a surprise attack against Israel that will probably involve either nuclear or biological weapons.

But because so few mainline churches teach on Bible prophecy, many have no idea how far along the prophetic timeline we have come.

Prophecy expert Bill Salus contends God's calendar of endtime events has a definite beginning--the rebirth of the nation of Israel--and another major sign post signaling we are getting close to the end.

"The re-establishment of Israel on May 14, 1948 (77 years ago) is when the world's hour glass made its final turn," Salus declares.

"The Magog invasion of  Israel (see Ezekiel 38-39), is the other major prophetic marker for this generation to consider. Ezekiel 38:1-39:20 contains forty-three verses of some of the most consolidated and descriptive prophetic information found anywhere within the Bible. The reader of these passages doesn't need to be a Bible scholar, rocket scientist, or even a believer to glean a relatively detailed understanding of this forthcoming prophecy. By interpreting these verses literally the reader is made aware of the:

• Timing of the event- (in the endtimes) Ezekeil 38:8,16
• Identities of the invading coalition- (Russia, Turkey, Iran, etc.) Ezekiel 38:1-5
• Motivation for the invasion of Israel- (to plunder Israel) Ezekiel 38:12-13
• Supernatural defeat of the invaders- (through earthquakes, pestilence, flooding rains and great hailstones) Ezekiel 38:18-23"

Salus places this invasion just before the 7 years of tribulation, but after the Rapture of the Church.

So, how far along the prophetic timeline are we?

According to Amir Tsarfati of Behold Israel, the Magog coalition of Ezekiel 38 is being formed before our very eyes and while that doesn't necessarily mean they will attack Israel tomorrow, it's a pretty good bet we are in the general time frame.

According to Bill Salus, when they do attack, it will officially herald the 'final stage' of the endtimes prophetic timeline.

A wise woman once said: "Things are happening so quickly that observers of the times can't keep up. It's as though the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are now out of the barn...No previous generation has seen this stunning convergence allowing everything to fall into place." -- Jan Markell, Olive Tree Ministries

"Don't be troubled. You trust God, now trust in Me. There are many rooms in My Father's home and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with Me where I am. And you know where I am going and how to get there" (JOHN 14:1-4).

"Dangerous Liaisons: Russia + Iran = BFFs?"

While the Left has been apoplectic, demanding Trump return to the U.S. accused human smuggler, wife-beater and  MS-13 gang member (aka 'The Maryland Man') deported to his home country, El Salvador...

...Russia has been busy moving us ever closer to what the Bible calls the "Magog War."

According to Newsweek: "

Russia's upper House of Parliament ratified a sweeping 20-year strategic partnership agreement with Iran on Wednesday, deepening military and nuclear cooperation just as fears of conflict between Washington and Tehran intensify."

Already signed into law, the treaty makes official what Bible scoffers once considered impossible:

Russia + Iran = BFFs

Seemingly impossible because the two nations have been enemies for centuries, even though the Bible predicted an End Time military alliance against Israel.

In the meantime, Israel and the United States are desperately trying to foil Iran's nuclear ambitions, while Russia, (Iran's new BFF) holds the world's largest nuclear arsenal.

Nothing short of amazing because Ezekiel 38 describes a prophecy of a future war occuring in "the latter days" (last days) when Gog of Magog (Russia's leader from the far north of Israel) and Iran (formerly Persia) lead a coalition of nations to invade Israel. This invasion is depicted as a sudden and overwhelming attack on a restored (to the land) Israel (Israel was restored in 1948). And while this war almost certainly goes nuclear, God intervenes to defeat Gog and his forces, demonstrating His power and glory to the nations.

This event is often understood as a pivotal moment in the prophetic timeline, and some believe it has its roots in the growing "military and nuclear cooperation" between the two new BFFs.

Impossible? IDTS.

A wise man once said: "Persia refers to the ancient name for what is now known as Iran. In Ezekiel 38, it says Gog, the prince of Rosh, which means Russia and Persia will attack Israel. It also says God is against them and will defeat them. Israel won't defeat them. God will." -- Amir Tsarfati, Behold Israel
