1 Corinthians 1:20 – The Wisdom of the World

It is the wisdom of the world that has brought us to the precipice of the Rapture of the church and the subsequent Tribulation.  Man in his wisdom believes that he can run things better than God.  When the Lord is questioned: “Hath God said?” by the serpent (Genesis 3:1), it is this fallacy that…

Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 8-18-21: Last Trumpet or Pre-Trib Rapture?

It’s been a while since I did a straight-up teaching on the Pre-Tribulation Rapture.

Romans 8:20 – Bondage To Corruption
