He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.” (Matt. 16:2-3)
So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. (Matt. 24:15-16)
For then there will be great distress (Great Tribulation), unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. (Matt. 24:21)
When it comes to developing any kind of time line concerning the End Times, the watershed event has to be the Abomination that Causes Desolation. Why? Because from that time forward, the Bible gives a very clear sequence of events. Read Post »

Q. Please help me understand the following. You state that only the Church Age Saints will live in the New Jerusalem during the Millennium. And that the Church Age Saints will be able to go back and forth from the New Jerusalem and earth. What scripture supports that those Saints will be able to go back and forth? Is the New Heaven and New Earth created after the Millennium? Also, when the New Heavens and New Earth are created will the Church Age Saints still reside in the New Jerusalem or will they live on the New Earth? Does scripture give insight what they will be doing (work, play, create, govern etc.) with regard to the New Heavens and New Earth? Thank you for any clarification on the above. Read Post »

Q. I was thinking about the millennium the other day and the way I see it,during Christ’s 1000 year reign,there will be two distinct classes on the earth. Those who were raptured and returned to rule with Christ,with perfect bodies that never get old,tired,or sick. And the tribulation survivors and their descendants, who still have all the maladies of a human body. Do you think this sort of class division will be used by the devil to cause the great rebellion at the battle of Armageddon? Read Post »

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley
(At sunset on Sept. 29, 2008 we began year 5769 on the Hebrew Calendar. As I often do with articles that commemorate annual events, I have updated this study on the Fall Feasts and added new information for your review.)
The fall is arguably the most important time of the year in Judaism. Three of Israel’s holiest days are celebrated then, and all in the space of 15 days. They are Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, followed 10 days later by Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, and 5 days after that the Feast of Tabernacles. On our calendar they usually fall (no pun intended) some time between mid September and early October due to the differences between the Jewish (lunar) calendar and the western (solar) one.
Each of these holy days has both historical and prophetic significance, the prophetic fulfillment to occur on the day itself. Therefore Christians study them for glimpses into the future as well as to gain a better understanding of Jewish culture. Read Post »

Q. What is meant by “The Kingdom of God is here or at hand”? I never heard Jesus mention this, what does that mean?
Also, Jesus was always living in the kingdom of God on earth,are there lessons for us to learn or how do we relate the kingdom of God to those examples whereby he healed the sick and feed the thousands? Read Post »

Q. You make an astounding statement at the conclusion of the above article: “The Bible doesn’t really give a final destiny for anyone because it ends at the end of the Millennium, just when eternity is beginning.” May I, and countless others, beg to differ? Read Post »

Q. I have been wondering about the examples that the LORD is showing the world right now about debt and how even now our unborn children and grandchildren are already guilty for and will be held accountable for the debt of governments because of taxes. I know that with our salvation the LORD GOD no longer remembers our sins, but we do remember the guilt in association with the debt we owe the LORD for the price HE payed. I feel certain that when we are finally with the LORD in heaven we will no longer feel that guilt but I cant find that in the Bible. Please refer me to the verses that says we will not feel guilt any more. Thanks.

Q. I was wondering about the mosques that are sitting on the Temple Mount. When the Lord comes back, what will be done with them? It seems to me that He would do to them what was done to the Temple. Your thoughts? Read Post »

Q. Please clarify your statement that ‘at the beginning of the Millennium the unbelievers would be removed from the earth’ - can you give the scripture for that? As I understand it, the believers, who have been raptured previous to those thousand years, will return at the beginning of them with Christ to rule and get rid of the evil. Where am I going wrong?
