Is it the End of the World?

November 29 marks the 64th anniversary of the “Partition Plan,” approved by the UN. The plan, which passed by a majority vote, called for the establishment of a Jewish state and a Palestinian Arab state, on what was left of the original Palestine Mandate (Transjordan had been created the year before, on most of historical…

When my son and I visited Israel over the summer, we visited the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Since the Muslim wakf is in charge of the area, they frown on non-Muslims praying or reading their Bibles. I was actually ushered away from the interior of the famed Golden Gate…I don’t know what I was doing…

I once read a long-time Bible scholar who claimed that Job was really sort of an imaginary figure created by a Hebrew writer. The scholar also went on to say that no one in Job’s time (perhaps the second millenium B.C.) understood life after death issues, etc. In other words, those people were just more…

I’m constantly amazed not only at the number of Jewish conspiracy theories, but also by the sheer audacity of them. A new book by Dr. Alex Grobman, License to Murder: The Enduring Threat of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, is a terrific examination of this antisemitic forgery. The Protocols have been used as…

It is historically obvious that Israel’s many enemies have all gone the way of the dodo bird. Assyria, Babylon…the Nazis. A fresh wave of Palestinian terrorism has been launched against the state of Israel in the last century, virtually unabated. Yet as I often teach, Isaiah 54 tells us that God promises no weapon formed…

In the 37th chapter of Isaiah—you should read it—we find the amazing story of Sennacherib, the powerful king of the brutal Assyrians, who came against Judah in the eighth century B.C. Sennacherib himself was arrogant and boastful. Hezekiah, king of Judea, realized that his people had brought potential destruction on their own heads due to…

In the book of Revelation, Jesus Christ is poised to “tread the winepress” of His wrath, in defeating His enemies. As He stepped out of the tomb on Resurrection morning, I wonder what He was thinking. Oddly enough, a few years ago, archaeologists uncovered an ancient winepress only meters from the tomb (at “Gordon’s Calvary).…

Another clear sign we are in the last days is the issue of Jewish religious life. Unfortunately, too many of my Christian friends say things like, “How can you support Israel? Those people aren’t even religious.” How sad. How pathetic. First of all, anti-semitism sparks much of that kind of talk. Sadly, people just don’t…

Another sure sign that we are living in the biblical last days is seen in Israel’s coastal plain, where most of the country’s population resides. Tel Aviv, the second-largest city, with over 400,000 residents, is home to much of Israel’s military industrial complex, and its high-tech industry. Iran in particular has promised to wipe Israel…

For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. (Isaiah 51:3) This week, I am interested in the “signs” that we…
