One of the gravest of the many crises facing the world right now is the explosion of refugee movements. The Bible says that as we near the end times persecution of Christians, lawlessness, and false prophets would rise. Those conditions are exploding around the world. And each of them causes the flight of refugees. Even the rise of false prophets. A false prophet is someone who claims to speak for the one true God, but does not. Did you ever
Last week, the United Nations General Assembly convened. As usual, the heads of state from across the world made the pilgrimage to New York to appear before the delegates and speak their minds. Vladimir Putin defended Russia’s entrance into the Middle East and chided the U.S. and the West for arming ISIS and al-Qaeda, thus causing the mess in that region. Mahmoud Abbas (though he is not a head of state since the West Bank is not a state) announced
A few weeks ago, Hal Lindsey discussed the Russian-Iranian led coalition of nations described in Ezekiel 38 (read article here). Just since that time, some mind-boggling activities have taken place. The Russian military has moved in troops, heavy armor, fighter jets, anti-aircraft batteries, missiles, and Navy ships to Syria – and has begun bombing targets in Syria! In this article, Hal reveals that this very endeavor foreshadows a specific prediction by God through His servant Ezekiel over 2500 years ago! from The Hal Lindsey Report – September
In a recent copy of Coffee Talk Light News (September 11, 2015), an article by Lee Griffith caught my eye. I have used Mr. Griffith’s appropriate title of his article for this post. In his piece, Mr. Griffith notes that more lives were lost in the 9/11 attack on the U.S. than in the attack on Pearl harbor. He notes, “There is actually a shocking similarity between the 9/11 attack on our nation and something that happened in ancient history.
An important, but almost completely ignored, development took place recently in the Middle East. I believe it comes as a direct result of the agreement between the West and Iran regarding its nuclear program. It has powerful prophetic implications. To date, Iran’s dominating influence has been exerted mainly among Shi’ite Muslims. The fact that Shi’ites comprise just 15% of the world’s Muslims – the other 85% are Sunni – has helped to restrain Iran’s global influence. It has effectively kept
Throughout Scripture and history, there have been severe consequences for the lack of recognizing the importance of Israel, God’s chosen people and nation. Here is what Greg Laurie says in his book “Signs of the Times” : Looking into the future of the Jewish race, God told the Patriarch Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.” And so it has been through history. Every nation that has risen up to strike
In a single day last month, three American institutions — the New York Stock Exchange, United Airlines, and the Wall Street Journal — experienced devastating computer “outages” (hacks?). Each of these represent major pillars of the U.S. economy. In June, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) revealed that it had been the target of a very sophisticated and protracted hack exposing the private information of millions of federal employees. Then later, OPM reported that it had suffered another computer
Last week, the P5+1 nations, plus Germany and the EU reached an agreement with Iran on its nuclear program. No surprise here. Iran got everything it wanted and we got nothing. Israel got less. That’s because this agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), virtually makes impossible any future Israeli military strike against Iran’s nuclear program. But it did not take Israel out of Iran’s crosshairs. This week [please click here for video – this article begins about 9-minutes in],
Just in my lifetime, I have seen an unbelievable increase in the ignorance of God’s word in America. Just today, Congress stepped out of its own lawful bounds to impose a new law re-defining marriage. God invented not only the word “marriage”, but defined it for us. Yet in defiance of a Divine definition, members of a government went out of their way to change God’s definition to something that “better fit” lifestyles in the U.S.A. It’s just these lifestyle
There may be serious differences in the understanding of His promised coming. To one it is plain as day that He is coming very soon in person to reign on earth, and that imminent coming is his hope and his stay. To another, who loves his Bible and his Savior just as much, the coming can mean nothing but the Judgment Day – the solemn transition from time to eternity, the close of history on earth, the beginning of heaven;
