Biblical Audio Commentary – Reprieve

The story of Nineveh is fascinating, not only in its own right, but because it’s a morality tale for America.  Nineveh was the primary city of the Assyrian empire.  Assyria was noted for its ferocity in battle and for the fact that its victims suffered immensely.  It was not unusual for people in an intended target city of the Assyrians to commit suicide rather than subject themselves to the horrors of what they knew was coming.  Think Hamas on October 7, 2023 with the tortures, rapes, and murders its depraved terrorists committed, rolled into a single nation whose purpose is to pillage, and plunder, and destroy anything in its maniacal desire to take over the world.  Hmmm, sounds like the proposed plan for a Palestinian state comprised of radical Islamists.  But I digress.

Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 11-1-23: Jews Aren’t Really Jews & Other Follies

Psalm 137:5-6 recounts the ode of the Jewish people:

If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
let my right hand forget its skill!
Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth,
if I do not remember you,
if I do not set Jerusalem
above my highest joy!

Given the fact that the whole world is drunk with hostility toward Israel and the Jews, including a large portion of the professing Christian community, just like this psalm, we also must continue keeping God’s Promised Land and His Chosen People front and center.

Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 10-25-23 – The Dangers of Replacement Theology: And Now Stew Peters

The more I interacted with folks responding to my recent Commentary about Mike Adams and Natural News with their hostility to Israel based on Replacement Theology’s (false) doctrine, that led to a lot of additional thought on my part, and the realization that I needed to take one more stab at this topic, even though I initially had no intention of doing so.

Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 6-28-23: As in the Past, So in the Present

There is so much to learn from the trials, tribulations, and underlying apostasies of God’s children, Israel and Judah, when they turned away from Him in rebellion. When we read the Old Testament, we see that sinful people practice their sin regardless of who they are and in what earthly dispensation.  As it was in ancient Israel, so it is today in America and the rest of the world.

Biblical Audio Commentary – Normal Life During the Tribulation? – No!

If you look around, you see people living a normal life – or at least pretending to do so – even while society crumbles all around them. All this and more is simply a façade of normal. The times we now live in are on their way toward being the worst this world has ever known. And people are ignoring it.

Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 10-26-22: Intertwined Destinies of Israel & Iran

The Middle East remains a cauldron of prophetic activity as we head into the last months of this year. Israel is literally God’s prophetic clock that provides us with the milestones for determining when Christ will return.  If we want to know how close we are to doomsday midnight for the end of the world, we keep our eyes on Israel.
