Last Week’s Feature Article by Jack Kelley
A while back I posted a study showing why the phrase “No one Knows The Day or Hour” was meant for the 2nd Coming, not the Rapture. Even though it’s clear that the Great Tribulation is 1260 days long, and the 2nd Coming follows it, the Lord said people on Earth at the time will not know the day or hour of His coming. To emphasize this, He repeated it 4 times within the span of 28 verses (Matt. 24:36-37, 42-44, 50-51, 25:13)
A reader responded with the fascinating suggestion that this might help solve the mystery of the 1290 days and 1335 days of Daniel 12:11-12. Here’s what she wrote.

Q. Our Lord destroys the armies of Israel’s enemies in the Gog/Magag war to reveal that it was he and not the IDF that causes their defeat,yet He causes a great delusion to come over the people during the tribulation so that they receive the anti-Christ. Why do you think that is ?

Q. Thank you for sharing the wisdom and knowledge the Lord has Blessed you with. I watched a TV documentary recently that investigated whether the breaking of the Seven Seals had begun. The documentary reviewed recent world events (natural disasters, famines, plagues and political/financial upheavals) to insinuate the seven year tribulation has begun. There is no question that our world is certainly in a time if despair, but there have been other times of despair before now. Can you share your thoughts on this question?

Q. Is the assumption that the 1st seal, day of the Lord and the beginning of the seventy week to be the same incorrect? I hope that you could put up more information concerning this at your site.

Q. This is from an article I read on another website recently. There are some interesting, and insightful articles on the site, however, this excerpt surprised me.
“The Bible tells us that Satan is the “god of this world.” He is the one guiding and directing the affairs of everyday life. Because he is a spirit, he lacks the ability to act in this physical realm. He uses men to carry out his will.”
I’ve never heard this, and it doesn’t really make sense to me. If Satan was an angel, this shouldn’t be true. The angels were able to “act” in the physical realm of Lot and his family (as well as other passages in the Bible). What are your thoughts on this?

Q. Thank you so much for your web ministry. Your insights are so articulate and thoughtful, I cannot tell you the number of times that you put so succinctly what I have been feeling/thinking especially in terms of praying for this nation. I have a question regarding end time harvest. I feel an urgency to share the gospel, yet I find mostly hard hearts and itching ears for a completely different gospel. My question is, will there be a great end time harvest as I have always been taught or is Luke 18:8 a more accurate description of the time we are in (which I believe to be the end time)? I appreciate your input.

Commentary by Jack Kelley
This is an update of an article I first posted 2 years ago. Two things prompted me to post it again at this time. First, it’s a good follow up to last week’s article on the growth of Islam. And second, last week, at the last minute, Turkey booted Israel out of a joint training exercise also involving Italy and the US. When they withdrew in protest, Turkey responded by scheduling a training exercise with Syria instead. The reason Turkey gave was Israel’s inability to deliver an order of Heron surveillance drones to Turkey on the agreed schedule, even though it was the failure of a part produced by Turkey that made on time delivery impossible.

Q. Thank you for a superb site proclaiming the truth of God’s Holy Word . When I got saved some 23 years ago I just assumed Christians took Scripture plainly at face value . I now know this is not necessarily so . My concern is : There are saved Ministers out there preaching Salvation thru Christ faithfully with many converts , whilst holding an amillennial view claiming God’s Word is “contained” in Scripture rather than Scripture is God’s Word.

Q. Thanks so much for taking the time to help us learn more about God’s word. Your website has been a blessing to me and helped me to understand many things that before were not clear. I Praise God for you and the marvelous work you are doing.
I have noticed that some Hollywood movies & TV shows being churned out today are about the end times, prophecy, the end of the world, the Antichrist, etc. and all from a secular view point. Comments from friends and acquaintances lead me to believe that this could be the devils way of poking fun at God’s Word and perhaps making the sinners less apt to accept Christ and His Word as truth. It seems the devil has taken the terror of being left behind away and causes sinners to think that only “fanatics” would believe that God would do this to the world today.

Perspective by Jack Kelley
All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast-all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world. (Rev. 13:8)
There’s a lot of interest in the role of Islam in the End Times. And from what I’m reading, a lot of misunderstanding, too. Recent surveys are shedding some light.
