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 11-29-23: Revelation 12 – Past or Future Interpretation?
About a year and a half ago I spent some time thinking about the coming Antichrist. In so doing, I considered thoughts from various Bible prophecy teachers who wrote books on the subject. My Prophecy Update titled Antichrist Ruminations was the result of my survey.
From that effort, because my article was posted on Rapture Ready, that attracted the attention of Charles (Ken) Bassett who wrote the book: Can We Know? Subsequently, Ken changed the book’s title to: God Says Count the Number 666 – Why the Church Can Discover the Identity of the Antichrist, which can be found on Amazon by that name. He then wrote a subsequent book titled: Empire of the Antichrist – Why the Antichrist Will Come from Rome, which expands his thesis.
Tribulation Terror: Trumpet Judgments
Tribulation Terror: Trumpet Judgments is the sequel to Tribulation Rising: Seal Judgments.
The world is in the midst of terrible events ever since the Great Disappearance that inexplicably removed millions of people from the earth. Horrific wars on every front worldwide led to famine and death on an unprecedented scale. But that was just the beginning as recounted in the first book of this series: The Tribulation Chronicles.
Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 10-18-23: Prophetic Markers in Israel’s War
The war that Hamas launched against Israel on October 7, 2023 continues to resonate prophetically. Evidence is mounting that this is indeed (or will become) the Psalm 83 War. Under that assumption, the outcome will have significant ramifications for Israel, the entire Middle East, and as a set-up for the future Ezekiel 38 War, a.k.a. the War of Gog of Magog.
Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 7-19-23: The Puzzling Mindset of Post-Tribbers
I’m not sure what it is about many post-Tribulation Rapture believers, but there is some number of them that are just plain mean. They are so invested in their post-Trib doctrine that true believers in the church today must go through the Tribulation in order to be real believers, that they unpleasantly attack those who don’t agree.
Biblical Audio Commentary – Tribulation Desolation: Good Luck, Post-Tribbers!
This is a never-ending source of fascination for me: How is it that those who adhere to a post-Tribulation Rapture perspective can actually look forward to those horrific seven years of God’s wrath and judgment? And they do. There is almost a glee about many of them as they consider these coming difficult times. In their thinking: Oh, they’ll be shielded by God and also be performing astounding miracles. I think some see themselves symbolically as the Two Witnesses. They’ll live in protected, sustainable communities apart from all those on the receiving end of God’s punishment. It’ll be a glorious time, unlike any other ever experienced on the earth for them. Well, they’ve got that last part right.
