Isaac And Ishmael, Then and Now

nexxus — Sun, 29 Oct 2017 01:38:49 +0000

During Israel's 1900 year absence from the world scene, the sons of Ishmael grew into the family of nations that God had promised, but the hostility remained even though the Promised Land was seemingly theirs for the taking. When Mohammed, a descendant of Ishmael's, failed to convert the Jews in the region to his new religion, he declared war against them and the ancient hostility was born anew. All the old feelings of resentment were re-kindled, and even though the armies of Islam embarked upon an era of conquest that eventually took them all the way to eastern France, they maintained a special hostility toward the Jews.

The Three Questions Of Matthew 24

nexxus — Tue, 22 Aug 2017 22:55:41 +0000

One of the mistakes Christians make in reading the Bible is caused by our tendency to look at everything through "Church colored glasses." By that I mean we read it as if it all applies directly to us without regard for the context or historical background. I know Paul said everything that was written in the past was written to teach us (Romans 15:4) but that doesn't mean it was all written to us or about us. It means we're supposed to learn from the experiences of those who came before us. A prime example of this kind of mistake can be found in our interpretation of the Olivet Discourse (Matt. 24-25). I'll show you what I mean.

There are seven major prophetic signs of the Second Coming, and currently, all of them are in some stage of fulfillment. As in years past, we've kept Jack's list of the seven with their primary Biblical references and offer comments from current events. These comments are based on reports from a variety of international news services that have appeared in our daily "Prophecy In The Headlines" feature during the past year.

Kings Of the North and South Update

nexxus — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 05:03:33 +0000

Over the past five years or so I have written several times about the Middle Eastern kings of Daniel 11 known as the kings of the north and the south. In these studies I've shown how these two kings will become prominent again in the end times as the Shiites (king of the north) and the Sunnis (king of the south) vie for supremacy in the Islamic movement.

What Does The Bible Say About Israel’s Future?

nexxus — Sun, 22 Mar 2015 19:30:30 +0000

Contrary to all the polls and predictions Benyamin Netanyahu and his Likud party have won another election. Some Israeli observers are calling this a landmark victory, because it came in spite of (or maybe as a reaction to) unprecedented external meddling in the country's election process.

No One Knows The Day Or The Hour

nexxus — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 21:17:00 +0000

Those who ignore the study of end times prophecy are fond of quoting this famous line which appears in various forms in Matt. 24:36, Matt. 24:42,44, Matt. 24:50 and Matt 25:13 as their justification.

Between First Fruits and Pentecost

nexxus — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 02:11:10 +0000

For some time now, I've been puzzled about the time between the resurrection and the ascension, wondering why the Lord lingered during those 40 days.

What Did God Do On The Eighth Day?

nexxus — Tue, 20 May 2014 05:26:18 +0000

There is no eighth day of creation. God has never taken up the work of creation again, and that's why a word that also means ceased was used in describing His Sabbath rest.

The misguided effort to blend the Church and Israel into one entity continues.

"Just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish," He said, "So will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth (Matt. 12:40)."
