Is it the End of the World?

If given our druthers, most of us would like to see a “someday” in which we retire peacefully to a lake home. It’s the American way, but probably also the Italian way, the Chilean way, and the…well, everybody way. We are universally interested in things ending well, especially for us. Sadly, though, that isn’t reality.…

At a time when young people feel the pain of despair and aimlessness—perhaps more than at any other time—it’s doubly tragic that the New Evangelicals ignore the relevance of Bible prophecy. At a recent conference, famed prophecy teacher Hal Lindsey explained that when he engaged in evangelism with students at UC-Berkeley (beginning in 1960), he…

One night a few years ago, in a deluxe New York City steakhouse, I listened to two of America’s leading conservative voices discuss their views on the “Most Dangerous Man in America.” Each felt it was a politician. They disagreed on the identity of that politician. Now, as I mull this over—for some reason—I think…

Much is being made of the “predictably” (pun intended) failed Mayan doomsday…thing. What bothers me is that credible Bible prophecy teaching is also suffering as a result. Weekly, people ask me to name the one, overwhelming piece of evidence that we are living in the last days: Earthquakes? Wars and rumors of wars? Sadly, extra-biblical…

My last post—just before a trip to Israel—was a classic example of the fallibility of man. I predicted Mitt Romney would win. I thought a great deal about this the morning I read that Obama has won re-election. I’d been so sure he wouldn’t! Still, it provided me a great opportunity to bask once again…

Forty eight hours from a game-changing American election—in bizarre and seemingly apocalyptic times—Mitt Romney is gaining broad support. It is support the likes of which I have never seen. The Blaze is reporting that playwright David Mamet has penned an open letter to fellow Jewish Americans and pointing out that the ballot is “secret”—no one…

“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie…” (2 Thessalonians 2:11) In Christian eschatology, not all details are firmly agreed upon, whether the discussion are among scholars or laity. There is little disagreement though that the “last days” will come. Many of us believe those days are…

On a lush mountain in Ecuador’s capitol city of Quito sits a magnificent statue of a women clothed in symbols. Commissioned in 1976, the “Virgen of Quito” glistens in the sun. For me, she is proof that Bible prophecy is truly global. I’ll explain what I mean. The Bible is clear that God has a…

Almost since the first Bibles were mass printed in Germany, attacks on Scripture have shipwrecked the faith of many who might have believed. One of the most successful methods of deconstructing the Bible, ironically, is also one of the most bizarre. The alleged “Documentary Hypothesis,” which incubated in seminaries for decades before being unleashed on…

It remains the greatest book I’ve ever read. Entebbe: The Jonathan Netanyahu Story, by his youngest brother, Iddo, details the daring hostage rescue by Israeli counter-terrorism units on July 4, 1976, at a remote airport at Entebbe, Uganda. I read the book one night while staying at the American Colony Hotel in Jerusalem and when…
