end times

"Thou shalt arise and have mercy upon Zion, for the time to favor her, yea, the set time is come. For Thy servants take pleasure in her stones and favor the dust thereof. So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord and all of the kings of the earth Thy glory. When the Lord shall build up Zion, He shall appear in His glory." Psalm 102:13-16

People sometimes ask me, “Pastor, why do you keep going back to the land of Israel?” Because I love the land and I love her people.They are God's chosen people, a people of destiny. I go to Israel for two reasons.

One, I love her past. I love to look back and see the land where my Savior lived and walked and talked. I love to study the Bible on location. It causes the Bible to burst aflame in your hands.

Two, I want help in understanding the present and the future, because there is Bible prophecy yet to be fulfilled. Keep your eyes on Zion, God's holy land. As the Jew goes, so goes the world. The Jews are God's yardstick, God's outline, God's blueprint, for what He’s up to in the rest of the world.

The land of Israel, I believe, is the most important spot on earth. The most important city is not Washington or Moscow, but Jerusalem. The most important land, believe it or not, is not America but tiny Israel, about the size of New Jersey.

A Christian author recently published a book highlighting the book of Revelation and events leading up to the return of Jesus Christ. 

Kinley, who specializes in biblical prophecy, released his latest book, “God’s Grand Finale: Wrath, Grace, and Glory in Earth’s Last Days,” encouraging fellow Christians to observe God’s nature in Revelation and end times themes.

“It does tell us about the end of time, the whole Tribulation period, heaven … the Second Coming, the Antichrist, many different things,” he told CBN News in an interview. “But, interestingly enough, most Christians don’t realize that the book of Revelation actually reveals who God is to us.”

Pastor Greg Laurie said in his most recent sermon series that the Second Coming of Christ will be different from the Rapture.

Jesus’ Second Coming “is the answer to the prayer that the church has been praying for 2,000 years,” said Laurie, the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in California, according to ChurchLeaders.com.

California megachurch pastor Greg Laurie recently shared several key signs that the return of Jesus Christ is imminent with his congregation.

Evangelist and author Anne Graham Lotz and her daughter Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright have released a new book to help fellow Christians prepare for Jesus' imminent return.

Author and pastor Dr. David Jeremiah recently discussed how Christians should prepare for the End Times and Jesus' return.

The book of Revelation prophecies a series of future events, but author and pastor Robert J. Morgan doesn’t believe Christians will have to wait a long time for them to start taking place.

Perhaps Tim Keller’s most famous quote was his observation, “The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.”

I invite you to embrace and proclaim the two biblical facts Dr. Keller noted.

An upcoming end-times drama is expected to offer viewers a refreshing take on what the world could look like following the Rapture.

On a recent episode of the Ask Pastor John podcast, theologian John Piper explained what the Apostle Paul meant in 1 Timothy 4:1 when he said, "… in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons."
