A friend of ours from Switzerland and I had a spirited email exchange the other day. We were “contesting” to determine which nation has done the worst damage to the world and particularly to Israel, America or Switzerland. How’s that for looking at the world through a Biblical and prophetic lens?

Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 4-24-24 – House Speaker Mike Johnson’s Descent into Darkness
When House Speaker Mike Johnson first started acting against his purported Christian and conservative principles, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. The first couple contrary issues were small, so I thought, “Okay, there may be a good reason for this, so I’ll not condemn rashly.” Now I’m not a crazy political junkie, but I read a wide variety of news sources, primarily alternative and Christian. I also still look at Drudge and Fox News to directly see the faux conservative mindset. It was difficult to miss Johnson’s slide coming at me as it did from every direction. What had been a man widely lauded as principled because of his deep Christian faith had become this political person simply not holding that line. What the heck?
Biblical Audio Commentary – Russia’s Path to Gog-Magog
Over the last number of years, I’ve spent a fair number of computer bytes discussing how Israel gets from her current situation to the Gog-Magog War of Ezekiel 38-39. I’ve also mentioned various circumstances around Iran’s journey to that seminal place where it collaborates with Russia and Turkey to attack Israel en masse. Turkey I’ve pretty much ignored, although it’s got its own trajectory to this war as well. Today let’s summarize what we have already discussed, where things stand, and then look primarily at Russia.
Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 4-17-24 – Satanic Influence & Christian Cessationist Ignorance
There is a large swath of the church that believes in Cessationism. As GotQuestions.org tells us:
Cessationism is the view that the “miracle gifts” of tongues and healing have ceased—that the end of the apostolic age brought about a cessation of the miracles associated with that age. Most cessationists believe that, while God can and still does perform miracles today, the Holy Spirit no longer uses individuals to perform miraculous signs.
The questions I have regarding this belief are: Does this view hold water? Why would so many in the church think this is true? What are the implications in the world if Cessationism has indeed caused miracle gifts to no longer operate?
Biblical Audio Commentary – American Treachery Against Israel & Consequences
Yes, I’m commenting about Israel a lot these days, and with good reason. Israel is at the absolute center – the literal heart – of end-times Bible prophecy. Anyone purporting to teach Bible prophecy should maintain a clear focus on Israel. Failing to do so misses the point as to what God intends to accomplish in this world. It creates an erroneous eschatology which leads to bad theology.
Awaken Biblical Prophecy Commentary – Israel to Annex Ezekiel 39:11 Valley of the Travelers?
Another piece of the end-times puzzle may be falling into place. As the world engages in antisemitic hatred of Israel in its continuing efforts to incur God’s wrath, the Lord’s prophetic Word moves toward its ultimate fulfillment.
