Part 1 – Where is the Church in Revelation?
Traditional pretribulation rapture theory suggests that the church is represented in heaven by the 24 Elders seen in Revelation chapters 4&5. It states that the entire resurrection of the dead in Christ / rapture sequence is pictured when John sees a door standing open in heaven and Jesus tells him to "Come up here, and … Continue reading Part 1 – Where is the Church in Revelation?
Peace, Safety, and BETACH (Dwelling Securely)
Many of us watching Bible Prophecy unfold are aware that the Day of the Lord will spring "like a trap" or as a "thief in the night" upon those who are not awake and watching. When people are saying "peace and safety", destruction will come suddenly. Today I would like to examine this peace and … Continue reading Peace, Safety, and BETACH (Dwelling Securely)
The Armageddon Deception
Let me just put this out there: I believe that the upcoming Ezekiel 38-39 (Gog/Magog) war will occur in conjunction with the rapture, and that the antichrist will claim it was the Battle of Armageddon. He will then seek to "change the times and laws" and attempt to set up his own "kingdom age". There … Continue reading The Armageddon Deception
Contrasting Ezekiel 38-39, Armageddon, and the Last Battle
While there are some similarities between the battles described in Ezekiel 38-39, Armageddon, and the Last Battle, there are too many differences for these to be describing the same events.

The Tale of Two Gogs
How Many Gogs Are There? I think the main confusion surrounding Ezekiel 38-39's placement is the enigmatic figure of "Gog". Gog clearly is mentioned in scripture nine times in Ezekiel 38-39 and once in Revelation 20. There is also a son of Joel named Gog, mentioned in 1 Chronicles 5:4. I think we can rule … Continue reading The Tale of Two Gogs
Statement of Faith
I affirm traditional evangelical Christian teaching, including: THE BIBLE The Bible is our "daily bread" - the Word of God. It is the main way God speaks to us! If we don't "eat" of it regularly (daily!), we wither spiritually. We can only identify the false if we know the true! All Scripture is breathed … Continue reading Statement of Faith

First, let's review what occurs at each Judgment, then we can see if there are any clues that would help to place them on a timeline. … Continue reading A Summary of the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls – Are They Coincident, or Sequential?
The Prophetic Significance of Blood Moons, and How They Relate to the Rapture of the Church
The blood moon is a major key in Biblical Prophecy. You probably already know this. What you may not know, is that "blood moons" (plural) and "blood moon tetrads" are NOT scriptural. There is one and only one prophetic "blood moon" mentioned in the Bible, and it most certainly has not occurred yet. "Blood Moon … Continue reading The Prophetic Significance of Blood Moons, and How They Relate to the Rapture of the Church
