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 in the Flesh vs God’s Promises
The people of Israel have shown over the years how unfaithful they can be to the God who called them His own and gave them the Promised Land. However, does a single one of us Gentiles who call ourselves Christians really think we would have acted any differently? If you do, you are greatly deceived and have learned nothing in your relationship with God.
Biblical Audio Commentary – Barbarians at Israel’s Gates
The Hamas massacre perpetrated against Israel on October 7, 2023 was the most horrendous genocidal event against the Jews since the Holocaust. Over 1,200 innocent civilian men, women, and children were ruthlessly murdered that day. Before they were slaughtered, many were mercilessly raped and tortured. You may have seen this comparison, but based on population percentages, if the United States had suffered an equivalent loss of life on 9/11, 54,000 Americans would have been killed instead of 3,000. That’s the proportional difference, why it was so tragic, and why the psychological damage to the Jewish people in Israel has been so great. Think of how many more people you might have possibly known or come into contact with in our nation with so many more people senselessly killed in that 9/11 attack.
Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 12-20-23: Will the Tribulation Temple Also Be Ezekiel’s Millennial Temple?
We’re going to have a little fun today. Well, it’s fun for me; I don’t know for all the rest of you. Because I’m a fiction author, I engage in a lot of “what if” speculations. That’s the only way to write fiction. You have to go down various rabbit trails at times to come up with something that hopefully works and ties all strands of the story together.
I do similar mental gymnastics in my Bible prophecy discussions. In order to try to put scenarios together that attempt to tie in all aspects of a prophetic situation, I think it’s necessary to do some thought experiments. That’s what we’ll do today in our “what if” discussion.
Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 11-22-23 – The Warning of Israel’s Broken Glass
Those who read or listen to my preaching on this topic today are probably going to be the choir. As you might imagine, people gravitate to Bible teachers they tend to agree with. For instance, I’ll only listen to somebody spouting Replacement Theology nonsense if I’m researching that person; certainly not as a regular diet. …
Biblical Audio Commentary – Wandering in Darkness
God decreed to the Israelites that they were to observe seven feasts during the year in His honor. Three of those feasts required a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. This is the key for our Commentary today: The pilgrimage for and celebration of this feast was to remember His provision and protection during the 40 years in the wilderness.
