Moses Versus Plato
I wanted to share the following session by John Harrigan. I’m convinced that a basic understanding of the early corruption of the Biblical apocalyptic worldview and eschatology within the Church is at the root of perhaps 90% of the theological divisions that we experience amongst ourselves today. I am also convinced that if the end […]
Enabling the Caliphate?
First, I have to refer you to an excellent piece from the Clarion Project, well worth the read: The Middle East Now Has Three Alliances: None Are With the U.S. And second, I would refer you to a short interview conducted by my friend Chris Mitchell, CBN News Middle East Bureau Chief. Make sure to […]
Daniel’s 70th Week Reconsidered?
The earliest Christian writer who quite directly addressed the prophecy of Daniel’s 70 weeks was Ireneaus in his Against Heresies (ca. A.D. 180). In 5.25.2 Irenaeus quotes Matthew 24:15 and states that this will be fulfilled with the Antichrist literally entering the Jewish temple for the purpose of presenting himself as Christ. In Book 5.25.4 […]
Some thoughts on Martyrdom
The following session on the subject of Martyrdom and Cultural Engagement is a message I shared at last year’s Daniel Training Network (DTN) Conference. The full archives of last years’s conference can be accessed here. The next conference is in April 3-6, 2014 in San Francisco. It is a conference chock full of very rich […]
As the Turkish elections draw near…
The Turkish elections may be one of the most important factors determining the future of the region. Certainly worth keeping an eye on. Turkish PM on uncertain footing as elections loom.
Three perspectives on the rapture
I’ve been looking forward to reading these three online interviews from My Digital Seminary. Hat-tip to Alan Kurschner of Eschatos Ministries for posting them. Post-Tribulational case presented by Craig Blomberg Pre-Wrath case presented by Alan Kurschner Pre-Tribulational case presented by Michael Svigel
Sin, Separation, and Salvation
I found this short blog post to be a well written and cogent exhortation worth meditating upon. It was written by Truman Falkner on his blog Looking Forward.
The Antichrist’s false peace treaty
Most premillennialists hold that the beginning of the final seven years before the return of Jesus will be marked by some form of deceptively made “peace treaty” or covenant between the Antichrist and the leadership of Israel. Opponents of this view argue that this belief is only found in Daniel 9:27 and no where else. […]
Libyan assembly votes to follow Islamic law
Today a dark cloud has descended upon the nation of Libya. While I do not wish for this to become yet another opportunity to gripe about the president, it is certainly a fair criticism to pin this entirely on the catastrophic foreign policy decisions of the present Administration. Read the depressing details over at Reuters.
Daniel’s 70 Weeks: Study Notes
The following notes are from my session with the Kansas City Prophetic School on December 3, 2013 addressing the issue of Daniel’s prophecy of 70 Weeks. I’ve included at the conclusion of the notes, some comments from my highly esteemed brother Reggie Kelly of The Mystery of Israel. I encourage you to ponder Reggie’s comments, […]
Iran’s Nuclear Agreement: A Good Deal or a Bad Deal?
A good analysis from Hormoz Shariat of Iran Alive Ministries.
Is Gog Antichrist? What say Darby, Scofield, Ryrie and Hunt?
Long before it was popularly, and I would argue quite wrongly, held that Gog will prove to be a Russian antagonist distinct from the Antichrist, the “traditional” perspective was that Gog and the Antichrist are one and the same. Consider the following quotes, which I can only assume will come as a surprise to some. […]
The Turkey’s Turkey Connection
Happy Thanksgiving Americans. Enjoy the following “fun facts” on this day of gratitude to our creator, the One True God, who revealed Himself to Abraham, on Mount Sinai, and finally through His son, Jesus Christ, or more accurately, Yeshua the Messiah.

The Rise of Turkey: The Mediterranean’s New Regional Naval Power
In 2003-2004, I wrote Islamic Antichrist (previously titled Antichrist: Islam’s Awaited Messiah). At that time, based on a careful interpretation of Ezekiel 38-39 and several other relevant prophetic texts, I predicted that in the days ahead, Turkey would emerge as a regional power with expansionist ambitions. In those years however, the consensus among conventional geo-polticial […]
The New Middle East: Political Developments and Prophetic Significance
Daniel chapter 11, vv.21-45, and most particularly vv.40-45, give us some very significant details concerning some of the more important last-days battles that will take place between the King of the South—which is Egypt—and the King of the North, which is Antichrist. And as I have expressed here many times, I believe a significant case […]

Revolution Film Project Update
Work continues full speed on the Revolution Film Project. For the past several months, I’ve been waking up at about 4:00 AM and working for a few hours on the film. This involves going through interviews, choosing clips, transcribing clips, and putting it all together in a way that effectively communicates the message of the […]

The Psalm 83 War?
Does Psalm 83 predict an imminent war that is about to break out in the Middle East? Is Israel about to conquer its surrounding neighbors and occupy their lands, expanding its territories? Some students of prophecy believe this, but is it consistent with Scripture? While it is fair to say that Psalm 83 is a […]
Islamist Super-Bloc Begins Forming in the Middle East
From the Clarion Project: The following article is quite powerful as it pertains to the testimony of Biblical prophecy. On one hand, you have the Islamist government of Turkey aligning with the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas as well as Iran and Hezbollah, while Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf States form their own defensive block. A monumental […]
Syria today, Jerusalem tomorrow
The following video documents the increasing number of foreign jihadis fighting alongside the most radical Sunni groups in Syria. They have come from nations like England, France and the Netherlands. I found the comments that begin at 4:33 to be quite noteworthy, though entirely expected. One foreign soldier pointing to his weapon and says: “With […]

The Biblical Fall Feasts and the Return of Jesus
In light of discussion concerning the rapture and its possible correlation to the Biblical Fall Feasts, I wanted to share what I had written on this subject for my own study some years ago. It is a loose time-frame of the Biblical Fall Feasts with various prophetic motifs from the Scriptures. I am not dogmatic […]
Rapture: Pre-trib, Post-Trib, or Pre-Wrath?
Over the years of writing this blog, I’ve rarely written concerning the issue of the rapture. My reason for this is because of the tendency for this issue to stir up disputes, divisions, and a high level level of emotion amongst the brethren. When I have commented on this issue, I’ve tried to avoid emphasizing […]
Turkey’s Erdogan – An autocratic Islamist bigot
An excellent opinion piece from Jerusalem Post addressing the true nature of President Obama’s favorite leader in the Middle East.
When Turkey took torture to the streets
The following production by Amnesty International is a good overview of the response of the emerging dictatorship in Turkey to the protests that began there this summer. Some of the footage captures the evening my team and I were caught in the police attack on the protestors. I am looking forward to sharing more of […]
Marvin Rosenthal embraces the Middle Eastern end time paradigm
I was pleasantly surprised in reading last month’s issue of Zion’s Fire magazine to see that Marvin Rosenthal of Zion’s Hope ministries and well-known teacher, has embraced the Middle-Eastern end time paradigm. This view holds that the Scriptures clearly point us, not to Europe, but to the Middle East as the region from which the […]
Syrian Rebels Swap Crosses Atop Churches for Al Qaeda Flags
Amidst the varied opinions among Christians, there are those who believe that the present day State of Israel has nothing to do with the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy or the redemptive purposes of God. These will argue that the prophetic Scriptures nowhere necessitate a last days regathering of the Jewish people to their homeland. According […]
