Luke 21:7, When?
• NAU Luke 21:7 They questioned Him, saying,
"Teacher, when therefore will these things happen?
• Nathan Jones lists 10 signs that reveal we are very
near the end of this age;
• False christs, (false messiahs, and false teachers),
increase of wars, many earthquakes, famines,

Luke 21:9, Wars
• “Since 3600 BC the world has known only 292 years of peace. In that
period, stretching more than 55 centuries, there have been an incredible
14,531 wars in which over 3.6 billion people have been killed.” John
Ankerberg and John Weldon
• NAU Isaiah 2:3 And many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up
to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; That He
may teach us concerning His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For
the law will go forth from Zion And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4
And He will judge between the nations, And will render decisions for many
peoples; And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their
spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And
never again will they learn war.
• This ain't happened yet, but it will in the future!

Luke 21:16, You Will Be Hated
• NAU Luke 21:16 "But you will be betrayed
even by parents and brothers and relatives and
friends, and they will put some of you to death,
17 and you will be hated by all because of My
name. 18 "Yet not a hair of your head will
perish.

Luke 21:16, You Will Be Hated
• NAU Luke 21:16…betrayed..parents and brothers and
relatives and friends..put some of you to death,
• Mark 13:12 "Now brother will betray brother to death, and a
father his child; and children will rise up against parents and
cause them to be put to death. 13 "And you will be hated by
all for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end shall
be saved.
• Micah 7:6 For son treats father contemptuously, Daughter
rises up against her mother, Daughter-in-law against her
mother-in-law; A man's enemies are the men of his own
household. 7 But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the
LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will
hear me. 8 Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy. Though I fall
I will rise; Though I dwell in darkness, the LORD is a light for
me.

• Excavations near Jerusalem uncovered a rare hoard of coins
dating to the fourth year of the Great Revolt against the Romans
(69/70 C.E.). Photo: Vladimir Niihin, courtesy of the Israel
Antiquities Authority.
• During excavations along the main highway between Jerusalem
and Tel Aviv, Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) archaeologists
discovered a ceramic moneybox containing 114 bronze coins.
Each of the coins features a chalice and the Hebrew inscription
“To the Redemption of Zion” on one side and, on the other side,
a motif of palm branches and citron fruits with the Hebrew
inscription “Year Four”—a reference to the fourth year of the
Great Revolt against the Romans (69/70 C.E.). The revolt ended
with the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple.
• “The hoard, which appears to have been buried several

• months prior to the fall of Jerusalem, provides us with a
glimpse into the lives of Jews living on the outskirts of
Jerusalem at the end of the rebellion,”said excavation directors
Pablo Betzer and Eyal Marco in a press release issued by the
IAA. “Evidently someone here feared the end was approaching
and hid his property, perhaps in the hope of collecting it later
when calm was restored to the region.”
• The hoard was excavated from a building constructed in the
first century B.C.E. The building was subsequently destroyed in
69 or 70 C.E. during the conclusion of the Great Revolt.

upon another, because you did not recognize the time of

• Absolutely!

Times Of The Gentiles And Fullness
Of The Gentiles
• Q. In Luke 21:24 it mentions ‘the times of the Gentiles’. In Romans 11:25, it
mentions ‘the fullness of the Gentiles’. But, according to Revelation 7:9 and
7:14, there will be Gentiles saved during the great tribulation. I have
difficulty to explain Romans 11:25 together with Revelation 7:9,14. Is the
‘times of the Gentiles’ and the ‘fullness of the Gentiles’ pointing to the same
time?
• A. The times of the Gentiles mentioned in Luke 21:24 runs from the reign of
Nebuchadnezzar, which began about 608 BC and ends at the 2nd Coming.
The reason it’s plural is because there are four major kingdoms involved,
Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome (twice).
• The fullness of the Gentiles in Romans 11:25 refers to the number of people
who become believers during the Church age. When this number is reached,
the Rapture will take place. Gentiles saved after the Rapture (Rev. 7:9,14)are
called Tribulation Saints and don’t belong to the Church.

Luke 21:24, The Times Of The Gentiles
• compass.org says, “The context doesn't mean Jews can't control
Jerusalem, but rather that it would be continually subject to Gentile
invasion and interference, much like today. You can read more
about this Gentile domination in Daniel 2 and 7.The Roman
Emperor Julian the Apostate, who lived from 331 to 363 AD, read
this prophecy in the Bible and thought he saw a chance to forever
discredit Christianity. All he had to do was get the Jews to rebuild
Jerusalem and their temple. So he put up the money and
encouraged the Jews to return to Jerusalem and start rebuilding
their temple. He provided them with silver shovels, and they began
by lavishly carrying dirt in beautiful purple veils. But they quickly
had to abandon the project as they were interrupted by an
earthquake and balls of fire coming up from the ground (Edward
Gibbon, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, II:95-101).”

terrified of getting nuked. I remember as a kid we used to have nuclear
bomb drills at school, as if for some reason if you went out into the hall and
put your head between your legs you were safe from a nuclear bomb! I still
don't quite get that. But, we use to have those drills. Now our kids don't
seem to worry about getting nuked, even though there's still a massive
nuclear stockpile. Then there are madmen like in North Korea and now in
Iran trying to get nuclear weapons. The Soviet Union might have fallen, but
the nuclear threat has never gone away… There is no doubt in my mind
that God has been holding back the release of nuclear weapons.”

Luke 21:36,
When will the Rapture occur?
• Dr. Reagan: This is the fifth and last part of a series where I interview Roberta Roberts Potts concerning
various topics related to Bible prophecy.
• Dr. Reagan: Let me ask you another question. This is a hotly debated one concerning the timing of the
Rapture. There are a lot of people who believe in a Rapture, many don't, but many do. They will debate
the timing of the Rapture, whether it is going to happen near the end of the Tribulation, or before it
begins, or even in the middle? Do you have any opinion about the timing of the Rapture? We both know
the Bible doesn't clearly say when the Rapture is going to occur. You have to pretty much figure it out,
deducing when from what the Bible says. So, what is your opinion?
• Roberta Potts: I believe we are going to escape God's coming wrath. One reason I believe that is because
Jesus picked two particular Bible personalities when He said the end times are going to be like the days
of... Noah and Lot. Both these guys lived centuries apart. The only thing I know they really had in
common was that they both faced a coming cataclysm and they both escaped.
• Certainly it would have been different if Jesus had said it is going to be just like the days of Jeremiah.
After all, Jeremiah predicted a terrible, terrible upheaval which he didn't escape. He had to live through
it.
• Or, Jesus could have said the last days were going to be like the days of Daniel. Well, Daniel was taken
captive during that same upheaval and he didn't escape.
• Jesus didn't say those days were going to be like the days of Jeremiah, nor the days of Daniel. No, He
said…

Luke 21:36,
When will the Rapture occur?
• …they’d be like the days of Noah and Lot, both of who were removed from the coming destruction.
• The proof that's kind of the capstone for me is when Jesus tells us to always be on the watch and pray that we
might be counted worthy to escape. So, I'm going to do just that and be watching and praying, because I want
to escape.
• Dr. Reagan: You've taken that right out of Luke 21:36. There Jesus says we are to pray that we are to escape
the coming Tribulation. I have people attacking me all the time accusing, "You're just an escapist." I plead
guilty. Jesus tells us there in Luke 21 to be an escapist. I pray to escape as others through time have prayed.
• People will also say, "You just don't want to suffer for the Lord." I reply, "When you take a stand for the Lord
Jesus Christ, you are going to suffer for the Lord." The Bible says there is going to be tribulation for believers.
But, I'm talking about escaping the Great Tribulation. I'm not talking about the tribulation that we're going to
experience as a result of harassment and persecution. We're certainly going to experience that. No, we're
talking about escaping the Great Tribulation as described in Luke 21.
• The most important point that I would make concerning the timing of the Rapture is imminence. The Bible says
that the Lord can return at any moment. We're to watch for His return at any moment. When you stop and
think about what we call the Second Coming, certainly that can't happen at any moment because there are too
many prophecies that have to be fulfilled before the Second Coming occurs. But, there's not one that has to be
fulfilled before the Rapture occurs. I'm never told to watch for the Antichrist. I'm told to watch for Jesus Christ.
• Roberta Potts: Absolutely!

Luke 21:36, God is in Control The Christ in Prophecy
Journal
• “We must keep in mind that as the world falls apart around us, God's Word says
that He "sits in the heavens and laughs" (Psalm 2:4). His laughter is not prompted by
a lack of concern. Rather, He laughs because He has everything under control, for He
has the wisdom and power to orchestrate all the evil of Man and Satan to the
ultimate triumph of His Son. He has also promised that He will walk with those who
are Christians, accompanying us through fire and high water (Isaiah 43:1-3). And He
has promised us an escape before the world totally collapses into absolute chaos
(Luke 21:36). That escape is called the Rapture. When Paul revealed this escape in
detail in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, he concluded by saying, "Comfort one another
with these words.” Additionally, we have the promise of the Millennial reign of
Jesus to look forward to. What a day that will be! Jesus will reign as King of kings
and Lord of lords from Jerusalem. David, in his glorified body, will reign as King of
Israel. We, in our glorified bodies, will be scattered across the earth to reign over
those in the flesh. And the earth will be flooded with peace, righteousness and
justice, as the waters cover the seas (Isaiah 2:1-4 and Isaiah 11:3-9). Maranatha!

Zechariah 14:12, Nuclear Weapons
• The Christ in Prophecy Journal
• Amplified on the Battlefront: The Sign of Nuclear Weapons
• Posted: 15 Feb 2013 06:56 AM PST
• By Nathan Jones
• Does the Bible prophesy the use of nuclear weapons in the end times?
• On Sunday, January 6, 2013, at the Future Congress 2 Conference in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, I was interviewed by host Brian Thomas of Blessings to Israel Ministries on the Rapture Ready Radio Network before a live studio
audience. During the 45-minute interview we discussed how the technology that we have today is proof positive that we are living in the end times and so can be expecting the soon return of Jesus Christ.

Sign of Nuclear Weapons
• Brian Thomas: Let's talk about nuclear weapons. I know there are theories that nuclear weapons are prophesied in Scripture. Revelation speaks of a third of the earth being burned during the Tribulation. Do you think nuclear
weapons could be one of the means by which that could happen? Or, do you think the destruction is going to be caused by some other phenomenon such as supernatural?
• Nathan Jones: Since the 1940's, humanity has only dropped two atomic bombs — the ones on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. And yet, what people don't realize is that was just during war time, for since WWII
there has been over 2,500 nuclear detonations tested on this planet. Nine countries over the last 70 years have been testing nuclear weapons. There's also a tremendous stockpile of nuclear weapons built up all around the
world.
• Most people who grew up during the Cold War were terrified of getting nuked. I remember as a kid we used to have nuclear bomb drills at school, as if for some reason if you went out into the hall and put your head between
your legs you were safe from a nuclear bomb! I still don't quite get that. But, we use to have those drills. Now our kids don't seem to worry about getting nuked, even though there's still a massive nuclear stockpile. Then there
are madmen like in North Korea and now in Iran trying to get nuclear weapons. The Soviet Union might have fallen, but the nuclear threat has never gone away.
• There is no doubt in my mind that God has been holding back the release of nuclear weapons. We've got thousands and thousands of nuclear weapons all pointed at each other around the world, and it's gotten easier and easier
for crazy people to get them, even simpler ones like dirty bombs. We've got madmen trying to build them, and amazingly the world isn't doing anything substantial about it. God has been holding these weapons back until the
time is right, and that is for during the Tribulation.
• When we go to the Bible and read about certain end times events, some of them clearly sound nuclear in nature. Take for instance the destruction of Damascus in Isaiah 17:14 which goes, "In the evening sudden terror. Before
the morning they are gone." Isaiah prophesies that one day the oldest city in the world — Damascus — will be destroyed in one day, and we know from Isaiah 17:9 that it will be because of Israel, a nuclear armed country. Well,
how do you destroy an entire city in just one day? Nuclear weapon! There really isn't any other weapon out there that could annihilate a city so quickly.
• Another possible reference to the use of nuclear weapons in the end times is take for instance Zechariah 14:12 which reads, "This is the plague in which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem." This is in
reference to Armageddon, where we're also told, "Their flesh will rot while they are standing on their feet. Their eyes will rot in their sockets and their tongues will rot in their mouth." This is why in Luke 21:26 Jesus said, "Men
will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world. The heavenly bodies will be shaken."
• Another possibility, let's also take a look at the Sixth Seal Judgment in Revelation 6:14-15, "The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the
princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains."Certainly, that disaster could be supernatural in origin, but each of these disasters was
explained by a First Century man, John, explaining what he was seeing. And, all of these disasters are described as exactly what nuclear weapons would do.
• For the Antichrist to wipe out 1.5 billion people at the beginning at the Tribulation merely from conventional war, he wouldn't need a lot of people with guns as nuclear weapons would do the job very quickly. There isn't that
much time to kill all those people with a conventional war.
• I could read other verses that hint at nuclear warfare, as Revelation is ripe with verses which talk about the annihilation of the planet and the resulting effects that sound very nuclear radiation in origin. As a matter of fact, when
you look at the people by the end of the Tribulation, they are covered in sores and boils, which is very much like radiation contamination. Also, the Earth's ecosystem is almost all destroyed, which couldn't be from conventional
war, but would have to be from nuclear war along with whatever natural God sends like asteroids and whatnot.
• We are told in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-7 that when the Church is removed so is the Restrainer. The Holy Spirit's work through the Church will be raptured out of this world so that man's inhibition can be let loose. The restraint
against mankind using nuclear warfare will no longer be there anymore, so man will feel free to use them. The world is facing a very definite nuclear holocaust.
• Brian Thomas: In Revelation 6:14-15 that you shared, to me that passage seems like the best Scripture describing nuclear warfare. With the sky receding like a scroll, that sounds like a mushroom cloud. Amazing things are going
to take place during the Tribulation, and that I believe includes nuclear warfare.

underfoot until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
• THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
• God's plans stand.
• MINI BIBLE STUDY FOR THE DAY
• When Jesus comes back to earth for His second coming, His thousand-year reign as King of earth
will begin.
• Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them And I saw the souls of
those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of
God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on
their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand
years. —Revelation 20:4Until that happens, the period labeled by Jesus as the "times of the
Gentiles" will continue. The context doesn't mean Jews can't control Jerusalem, but rather that it
would be continually subject to Gentile invasion and interference, much like today. You can read
more about this Gentile domination in Daniel 2 and 7.The Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate,
who lived from 331 to 363 AD, read this prophecy in the Bible and thought he saw a chance to
forever discredit Christianity. All he had to do was get the Jews to rebuild Jerusalem and their
temple. So he put up the money and encouraged the Jews to return to Jerusalem and start
rebuilding their temple. He provided them with silver shovels, and they began by lavishly carrying
dirt in beautiful purple veils. But they quickly had to abandon the project as they were
interrupted by an earthquake and balls of fire coming up from the ground (Edward Gibbon, The
Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, II:95-101).

What are the signs that reveal we are very
near the end of this age?
• The God Solution: The End Ten
• Posted: 31 Oct 2013 06:00 AM PDT
• By Nathan Jones
• What are the signs that reveal we are very near the end of this age?
• On Friday, September 27, 2013, I was interviewed on The God Solution Show with Nate Herbst which airs on KDUR 91.9 and 93.9 in Durango, Colorado. Nate's show is special because he's the only Christian program on a totally secular station. With such a
fantastic opportunity to share the Gospel with an unbelieving audience, he focuses on apologetics which defend the Christian faith. I came on to share one of the best defenses for why we can trust the Bible as God's word and place our faith in it — fulfilled
Bible prophecy.
• Luke 21 and the Ten Signs of Our Age
• Nate Herbst: What are some of the end time signs that we should be looking forward to related to all the incredible interest in what's going on in Israel and the Middle East? Sure, we all know about what's going on in Syria. We all know what's going on in Iran.
We all know what is going on in all the different Palestinian areas with their struggle with the nation of Israel. What kind of end times signs then should we be looking out for to occur in the near future?
• Nathan Jones: I believe the best place in the Bible to answer that is in Luke 21. There are also parallel passages to this chapter in Matthew 24 and Mark 13. These chapters contain where Jesus gives us basically a nutshell version of all the things that will
happen up until His Second Coming.
• Jesus in Luke 21 actually answers three questions His disciples ask of Him. First, they wanted to know when the Temple was going to fall, and we know that occurred in 70 AD. Second, they wanted to know what the signs that indicated the end of the age
were, so Jesus gave the signs of the end times. Third, they also wanted to know what would be the signs that would precede Jesus' Second Coming.
• We can read in Luke 21 that there are all sorts of different end times signs that are broken down into ten different categories, with the tenth being Jesus' actual return.
• False Teachers — The first category of end times signs would be that the times would be filled with false christs, false messiahs, and false teachers. We can read for instance about Mormonism which was founded by Joseph Smith. It's one of the biggest cults
in the world, and clearly he was a false teacher. Smith was a con-man who conned everybody into believing that he had the inside track on a second gospel of Jesus, which he just made up.
• Other false teachers include Charles Taze Russell who founded the Jehovah's Witnesses. Jim Jones notoriously is known for killing his followers by making them drink poison in Kool-Aid. Today we've got Jose Luis de Jesus who claims that he is Jesus and has all
his people tattoo 666 on their hands.
• Jesus revealed that there would be an epidemic of false prophets teaching heresy just before Jesus returns to take His Church to Heaven. This event is what is called the Rapture of the Church.
• War — The second sign of the end times would be an increase of wars. The earth would be covered in wars and rumors of wars. Did you know there are 38 wars going on right now? In the Twentieth Century alone, 160-187 million people were killed in wars.
We have more wars now than we know what to do with. The United States just seemingly escaped getting involved in the civil war in Syria. Constantly the news reports on wars and rumors of wars.
• The Bible says there will be more and more wars until we get to the time that Jesus returns. This is not even referring to future wars, but just the wars that are going on today that lead up to the Tribulation. There are future-related prophecies that predict
even more wars during the Tribulation that reveal most of the earth being destroyed. Truly horrific times lie ahead.
• Earthquakes — The third sign would involve earthquakes. Jesus said there would be many earthquakes that would shatter the earth. They would point to the last days as they grew more frequent and intense. True to prophecy, the world has since 1985 seen
a 70% increase in earthquakes. The earth is shaking up. The worst earthquake in recent history of course has been the one that hit Japan in 2011.
• Famine — The fourth end times sign would be famine. The world would see famines spread across the planet. People all over are starving. We've lived to witness great famines across the world, such as in Ethiopia and North Korea and other nations.
• Plagues — Jesus gave the fifth sign which would be plagues. Disease and subsequent death would result from a growing amount of plagues. It seems that just as our doctors figure out a cure for one, another disease pops up its ugly head causing more and
more people to die. The world has been covered with plagues for the last few hundred years, especially since the Black Death.
• Fearful Events — Sign number six would involve fearful social disasters, for example, involving economic collapse. People will have all sorts of fear about what's inevitably coming due to our out-of-control spending. We see a great fear today among the people
over social disasters that are coming to the world.
• Events in the Sky — Sign seven involves fearful signs coming from the skies, such as different solar and lunar events. It's interesting that events that happen in the skies are kind of an untouched area of prophecy. But, those events include weather-related
storms such as tornados and hurricanes. We have lived to bear witness to a great increase in weird weather and storms across the planet.
• Persecution of Christians — The eighth sign covers the horror of the persecution of Christians. Ironically, said news doesn't make the mainstream news much right now. Shockingly, Christians are being persecuted more now than in any time in human history.
For example, they are being slaughtered by the Boko Haram in Nigeria. They are being slaughtered by both sides of the civil war in Syria. They are being slaughtered by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. They are being slaughtered in North Korea by the
government.
• Pakistan endured recently a chilling mall bombing where the terrorists targeted Christians for killing. They were going around asking their hostages if they were Christian. The thugs who had taken over the mall were shooting the Christians point blank.
• Today there's tremendous persecution of Christians, both physically and through the systems of law like we are finally seeing begin in the United States. As Satan knows his defeat is near, he will ramp up the persecution of the Body of Christ. That would be a
sign that Jesus will be coming very soon.
• Focus on Jerusalem — There is also a ninth sign, and that would be that the whole world would be focused on Jerusalem. Every political body wants control of Jerusalem. We are living to see that today as well.
• I would advise everyone to look up Luke 21. This chapter has a tremendous amount of insight into the end times. It provides a nutshell-style view of the end time signs which prove that we are living in the season of the Lord's return.
• Nate Herbst: Absolutely! There are a couple of other parallel passages to Luke 21, such as Matthew 24. These signs that Jesus gave us I think are outstandingly accurate and relevant. We are seeing these signs happen even today. Like you said, the accuracy of
Jesus predicting these end time events is just incredible.
• If I'm not mistaken, there is a martyr for Christ made about once every five minutes. That's about 100-plus thousand a year! That Jesus foretold is just incredible. It's exactly what you stated.
• When you look at these signs that Jesus gave, I think it would take more faith to believe that somehow this is all a coincidence than it would be to just accept the fact that Jesus hit the nail on the head. These signs are happening in our day. They are
something that we should be observing with a lot of respect, realizing that God has the big picture view. Jesus is giving some knowledge of the end times to us so that we can trust Him in the middle of it all.
•
In the tenth part of the God Solution interview, Nate and I will look at prophecies concerning wars yet to be fulfilled.

Mark 13:8 Matthew 14:24 Luke 21:11, 8:24 1 Kings 19:11 Haggai 2:17
Jonah 1:4, Jesus Rebuked Wind, Why does God allow natural disasters,
i.e. earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis?
• Question: "Why does God allow natural disasters, i.e. earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis?"
Answer: Why does God allow earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis, typhoons, cyclones, mudslides, wildfires, and other natural disasters?
Tragedies cause many people to question God’s goodness. It is distressing that natural disasters are often termed “acts of God” while no “credit” is given
to God for years, decades, or even centuries of peaceful weather. God created the whole universe and the laws of nature (Genesis 1:1). Most natural
disasters are a result of these laws at work. Hurricanes, typhoons, and tornados are the results of divergent weather patterns colliding. Earthquakes are
the result of the earth’s plate structure shifting. A tsunami is caused by an underwater earthquake.
The Bible proclaims that Jesus Christ holds all of nature together (Colossians 1:16-17). Could God prevent natural disasters? Absolutely! Does God
sometimes influence the weather? Yes, as we see in Deuteronomy 11:17 and James 5:17. Numbers 16:30-34 shows us that God sometimes causes
natural disasters as a judgment against sin. The book of Revelation describes many events which could definitely be describedas natural disasters
(Revelation chapters 6, 8, and 16). Is every natural disaster a punishment from God? Absolutely not.
In much the same way that God allows evil people to commit evil acts, God allows the earth to reflect the consequences sin has had on creation.
Romans 8:19-21 tells us, “The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not
by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into
the glorious freedom of the children of God.” The fall of humanity into sin had effects on everything, including the world weinhabit. Everything in
creation is subject to “frustration” and “decay.” Sin is the ultimate cause of natural disasters just as it is the cause of death, disease, and suffering.
We can understand why natural disasters occur. What we do not understand is why God allows them to occur. Why did God allow the tsunami to kill
over 225,000 people in Asia? Why did God allow Hurricane Katrina to destroy the homes of thousands of people? For one thing,such events shake our
confidence in this life and force us to think about eternity. Churches are usually filled after disasters as people realize how tenuous their lives really are
and how life can be taken away in an instant. What we do know is this: God is good! Many amazing miracles occurred during thecourse of natural
disasters that prevented even greater loss of life. Natural disasters cause millions of people to reevaluate their prioritiesin life. Hundreds of millions of
dollars in aid is sent to help the people who are suffering. Christian ministries have the opportunity to help, minister, counsel, pray, and lead people to
saving faith in Christ! God can, and does, bring great good out of terrible tragedies (Romans8:28).

• Must The Church Preach The Gospel In All Nations?
• Wednesday, January 29th, 2014Great Tribulation
• Prophecy
• Q. I am curious about Matthew 24 vs 14, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the
whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” I was taught all my life that
Jesus wouldn’t come back till every nation had heard the gospel. After following your website now
for sometime, I believe that Jesus was talking to the nation of Israel in this chapter.
• Since I now believe that the rapture will happen when the fullness of the gentiles has come in, this
verse 14 must be talking about the period of the tribulation and not of the church reaching the whole
world with the gospel. So reaching the whole earth with the gospel is not a prerequisite of the
rapture, but of the second coming. Am I correct?
• A. You are correct in saying that Matt. 24 and its companion passages Mark 13and Luke 21 were
intended for Israel and not the Church. Therefore it is not necessary for the Gospel to be preached to
all nations before the rapture can take place. However, as Matt. 24:14 says, it must happen before
the 2nd Coming. Rev. 14:6 tells us that this requirement will be met just after the beginning of the
Great Tribulation:
• Then I saw another angel flying in mid air and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live
on the earth – to every nation, tribe, language, and people.
• In Matt. 24:14 Jesus didn’t say how this prophecy would be fulfilled. Rev. 14:6tells us it will be God
Himself who sees that it happens by sending His angel to proclaim it.

Chosen Or Elect Or What?

• Chosen Or Elect Or What?
• Saturday, February 1st, 2014Church
• Daniel's 70th Week
• Israel
• Rapture
• Second Coming
• Q. I’m having a difficult time separating God’s chosen people from God’s elect. I’ve always thought that Israel is God’s “chosen” people, but when we get into verse like cutting short for the
Elects sake in Matt. 24 I get a little confused. Is Israel both the “Chosen” and the “Elect” and if so what is a Christian to identify with? I ask this because I find it nearly impossible to convince
post-trib believers that the verses in Matt. 24 are only about Israel and the 2nd coming, not the rapture of the church. Is there a way to convince them with scripture that show clearly that
Jesus is speaking of Israel and not the church?
• A. In the Old Testament the Hebrew word translated “elect” (8 times) is also translated “chosen” (4 times) and refers to both Israel and the Messiah.
• In the New Testament the Greek word translated “elect” (16 times) is also translated “chosen” (7 times) and can refer to believers on Earth, believers in Heaven, Israel, the Church, Jesus, and
certain angels.
• This tells us the person or persons the Bible is referring to when using these words has to be determined by the context in which they appear. In Matt.24:22 we see the word “elect” referring
to believers on Earth, while in Matt. 24:31 the same word is used to describe believers in Heaven, but in neither case can they be specifically identified as the Church.
• Showing that Matt. 24 pertains to Israel can be done by pointing out that the Lord never mentioned the Church there, but did mention the people in Judea (Israel), the Temple (Israel), travel
on the Sabbath (Israel), and a warning against being fooled by false Christs (Israel).
• Also, His phrase “He who stands firm to the end will be saved” in Matt. 24:13cannot apply to the Church because our salvation is guaranteed from the moment we believe (Ephesians 1:13-
14).
• The entire chapter was devoted to the Lord’s answer to three questions of Matt. 24:3. When will these things happen (the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem), what will be the sign of
your (2nd) coming, and of the end of the age, (completion of Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy). All these were of primary importance to Israel.
• In all the gospels you won’t find any direct mention of a Church Age, or a rapture of the Church, because Jesus never spoke of these things. The few hints of we can see of them are only clear
to us because we already know about them.
• Therefore, it is not accurate to assume the inclusion of either the Church or the rapture in Matt. 24. Even after His resurrection the disciples still expected Him to restore the Kingdom to Israel
at that time (Acts 1:6), and the doctrine of the rapture was unknown to the early Church until Paul introduced it 20 years after the resurrection in his letters to Corinth and Thessalonica. The
phrase. “Listen, I tell you a mystery” in 1 Cor. 15:51 means he was revealing a secret. He was talking about the rapture.
• In short, to place the Church in Matt. 24 requires us to alter the context of the chapter, and then assume Jesus was implying something He had never specifically taught about.

• The Darkness Of The 5th Bowl Judgment
• Wednesday, February 12th, 2014Interpreting Verses
• Prophecy
• Q. When the 5th Bowl Judgment hits, the Bible says darkness covers the throne of the
Beast. How long will this last? I can’t imagine it will last until the time Jesus comes in His
2nd coming because there is the assembling of the armies at Armageddon and they’d
need light to fight that battle. Am I right, or am I off base? Or will the darkness last until
the 2nd coming? I did a search but couldn’t find any conclusive answers.
• A. You couldn’t find any conclusive answers because the Bible doesn’t say how long this
darkness will last. But Matt. 24:29 tells us that immediately after the Great Tribulation
ends the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light. From this, it appears
that the sun and moon will have given their light again following the 5th Bowl
judgment. Therefore the period of darkness during the 5th bowl judgment (Rev. 16:10-
11) must be a temporary one.

Resurrection Of Old Testament Believers
• Resurrection Of Old Testament Believers
• Thursday, May 29th, 2014End Times
• Great Tribulation
• Prophecy
• Resurrection
• Q. I was reading a post “Who Goes Where And When” and you gave the reference (Daniel 12:1-2, Rev. 20:4) to show that the Old Testament saints
would be resurrected at the 2nd coming. It has been my understanding that all people before Christ will sleep through the thousand years and I did not
see anything indicating differently. What am I missing?
• A. Daniel 12:1-2 says, “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not
happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.
Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.”
• The phrase “at that time” refers to the time of the anti-Christ’s unsuccessful attempt to gain world dominance (Daniel 11:36-45). Four things will happen
then; Michael will come to the aid of the Jewish people, the believing remnant of Israel will be delivered, there will be a time of distress such has never
been seen before, and there will be a resurrection of Jewish people.
• The phrase “There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then” was quoted byJesus in Matt. 24:21 to
describe the Great Tribulation. This confirms the timing of these things.
• Then the angel told Daniel “Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting
contempt.” This is the Bible’s first reference to two resurrections; the resurrection of believers which will take place at the time of the Great Tribulation,
and the resurrection of unbelievers that will take place at the end of the Millennium, 1,000 years later (Rev. 20:11-15).
• The angel made two references to “your people” indicating he was speaking of Daniel’s people, the Jewish nation.

false teachers
• A False Teacher?
• Wednesday, May 28th, 2014False Teaching
• Q. Regarding the recent fall of a well known pastor, why is there so much silence in the
Christian community? It seems that we’re ok covering for a pastor or leader who has
been so deceptive, who in one breath preaches the Gospel and the next willfully sins and
covers it up. Was he a false teacher all along?
• A. A false teacher is one whose teachings don’t conform to the word of God. I have
never heard this said of the person you are referring to, so I wouldn’t classify him as a
false teacher.
• It’s true that pastors are held to a higher standard than others, so when this pastor failed
to meet those standards he relinquished his position. But that has nothing to do with
whether his teaching was consistent with the Bible.

THE MOON’S DUST?
• TODAY'S CREATION MOMENT
• HOW DEEP IS THE MOON’S DUST?
• inGod's Design
• Listen
• Genesis 1:16
• “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the starsalso.”
• Did you know that the actual dust on the surface of the moon is thousands of times less than expected by those who think theEarth is billions of years
old?
• All of us know that if something has a lot of dust on it, it probably hasn’t been cleaned in a long time. If something has very little dust on it, it may have
just been cleaned – or it might be brand new. Since there is no such thing as a moon cleaner, if our moon doesn’t have much dust on it, it must be fairly
new.
• Before American astronauts landed on the moon in 1969, space scientists were worried that a moon landing would be impossible.By that time scientists
knew how much dust there was in space, and they knew how fast this dust would accumulate on the moon. Since they figured thatthe moon was more
than 3 billion years old, they reckoned that there could be as much as 150 feet of soft dust on the moon– so deep and so soft that a manned lander
might sink into the dust and never be heard from again. For this reason they designed the lunar lander with large pads to support the machine on the
soft dust.
• But we all know what happened – there wasn’t even enough dust to plant the American flag. The flagpole had to be supported with rocks! This is exactly
what creation scientists told them they would find, since the moon has been accumulating dust for only a few thousand years and not billions or even
trillions of years!
• Prayer:
• Father, I thank You for the beauty of the sky, especially the moon, which dominates the night sky. Here I see Your power in the many objects You have
created. Help them to remind me that this Earth is not the only world where I shall live, and as a result seek Your Word in Scripture that I might be better
prepared for the new heavens and Earth. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Times Of The Gentiles Vs.
The Church Age
• Times Of The Gentiles Vs. The Church Age
• Saturday, June 28th, 2014Interpreting Verses
• New Testament
• Prophecy
• Q. I’ve been intrigued by the recent posts regarding the “Times of the Gentiles” and whether or not that time continues through Daniel’s 70th week. I
am confused regarding the terminology of the Church Age and the Times of the Gentiles. It seems like you are saying that they are different, overlapping
time periods – the Church Age started with Jesus’ resurrection and ends with the rapture, but the Times of the Gentiles started with the destruction of
the temple and continues through the 70th week, right? I guess I’m confused because I thought the 70th week was when God completed his plan for
the Jewish people, not the Gentiles?
• A. I think the confusion is due to the fact that the Church is comprised mostly of people who were formerly Gentiles, but the two terms are not
synonymous. Remember Paul said that once we’re in Christ we are neither Jew nor Gentile (Gal. 3:28), but are part of a new race of human (Ephes.
2:14-16) called the Church (1 Cor. 10:32). The Church Age began at Pentecost and will end with the Rapture.
• The Times of the Gentiles began with King Nebuchadnezzar and will end with the 2nd Coming, as symbolized in Nebuchadnezzar’sdream of Daniel
2. Remember how Daniel’s interpretation of the dream indicated that Nebuchadnezzar had been given authority over all of mankind, and even the
animals. (Daniel 2:36-38). Then he described 3 other gentile kingdoms (Persia, Greece, and Rome) that would rule the world after that until the Lord
established a 5th Kingdom, His own. This will bring the Times of the Gentiles to a close. In confirmation Jesus said that Jerusalem would be trampled on
by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. (Luke 21:24) In Rev 11:1-2 the phrase is repeated almost exactly, showing that the Gentiles
would trample on the Holy City for 42 months, the duration of the Great Tribulation.
• While God’s focus will shift to Israel during the last 7 years, His purpose is to prepare them for the coming of His Kingdom, while at the same time
bringing judgment upon the Gentiles. (Jeremiah 30:1-11)

The Withered Fig Tree. Follow Up
• Q. Re: The Withered Fig Tree. My Question is: If the cursed fig tree is
symbolic of Israel, and Jesus’ words were that it would henceforth bear no
fruit forever, how do we reconcile that with national Israel being in the
millennial Kingdom obviously bearing fruit to the Lord? “Henceforth” and
“forever” don’t leave any wiggle room for “except in the millennium”.
• A. This is a case where you have to be careful with literal vs. symbolic
interpretations. The same Greek word that is translated “forever” in the King
James version of Mark 11:14 can also mean for an age, or a period of
time. The appropriate meaning comes from the context in which the word is
used.
• In the literal interpretation the fig tree may never have borne fruit again. In
that case “henceforth” and “forever” would convey the appropriate
meaning. But in the symbolic interpretation it’s also true that while Israel has
borne no fruit in this age, the nation will be fruitful in the next age, the
millennium. So the alternate meaning “henceforth in this age” would be
appropriate for the symbolic interpretation.

• “For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. The one who had received the five talents went off at once
and traded with them, and made five more talents. In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents. But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
• After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.’
• His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’
• And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.’
• His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’
• Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have
what is yours.’
• But his master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with
interest.
• So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents. For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. As for this worthless slave, throw him into
the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth’” (Matthew 25:14-30 [NRSV]).
• The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did: bury them in the ground. Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to do.

• What’s interesting, though, is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war. He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Rome’s forces. Judea was falling! In the hope of surviving the calamity, the
owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later time.
• This action helps us understand Jesus’ Parable of the Talents a little better. The dynamic at work in the parable is not merely economic investment, but rather measures taken during a time of war. Let’s unpack this.
• To begin with, let’s notice the context.
• The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesus’ ministry in Matthew’s Gospel.
• On arriving in Jerusalem, Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 21:12–13).
• He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 21:33–46), in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders, who also happened to be wealthy landowners. Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God
would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill him.
• Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 22:15–22). In Roman-occupied Judea, the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue. But using a coin with Caesar’s image on it, Jesus
beats the leadership at their own game. There are economic themes running throughout these incidents, and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nation’s leaders. They were sealing the fate of the nation.
• Finally, Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23). Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24, explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 24:2). The nation was heading for
downfall, and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances. This was the result of their failure—chiefly on the part of the leaders—to acknowledge him.
• The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1–13). Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for what’s to come. And what is to come? The nation’s downfall.
• It is not all dire news, however.
• Throughout the Gospel, Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himself—a remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation. These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom of
God (Matthew 4:17). They listen to Jesus’ words and, as it were, build their house on a rock, rather than on sand (Matthew 7:24–27).
• When the future storm comes to pound the nation, theirs is the house that will survive. The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE, in which the nation fell and its “house” (i.e., the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 23:38).
• In the Parable of the Talents, we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves. If we removed the parable from its context, we might suppose he went on a business trip. But the whole surrounding context is one of
doom.
• It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor. Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable, he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the
nations (Matthew 25:31–32). There is a clear parallel here: just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves, so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations. In both cases, the master figure returns in triumph. By implication, his absence is a time of tension and
uncertainty.
• This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talents.
• He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war. This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CE—the very event Jesus had in mind.
• The slave’s actions in the parable, however, are not just lazy, but also evil (Matthew 25:26). Why? Because he evidently didn’t think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return. If he had thought so, he would have put the money allocated to him to good use for
the sake of his master.
• The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their master’s return—enough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime. Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers. That these two slaves not
only put the money to good use, but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy, but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstances.
• The third slave, however, does no such thing. By burying the money, he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity, surviving his master, and then taking the money for himself. The master’s unexpected return, however, puts paid to this
servants plans, exposing him as a faithless coward. The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed. He is angry because the slave has been disloyal, lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his
absence for personal gain.
• In the larger context of the Gospel, this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leaders—those to whom much was given. They are characterized as disloyal towards God. They had turned the temple, a house of prayer, into a bandit’s lair (Matthew 21:12–13). They failed to
show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 21:18–22). They rejected Jesus, the master figure, in order to feather their own nests. This would, however, be a profitless endeavor, for it would end with their demise. Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus
would survive the coming adversity and live to share their master’s joy.
• We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave. Nonetheless, the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun!) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day
and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CE—the very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it.
• Unfortunately, that person never returned.

Sermons From the Holy Land: The Nine Wars
of the End Times (Part 2 of 4)
• Sermons From the Holy Land: The Nine Wars of the End Times (Part 2 of 4)
• By Dr. David R. Reagan
• Let us continue on with my fifth message which was presented at the ancient fortress of Megiddo that overlooks the Valley of Armageddon. We will survey the third and fourth of the nine prophetic wars of the end times.
•
•
The ConventionalWar of the Tribulation — Revelation 6
• By the time you get to Revelation 6, the Tribulation has begun. The Tribulation does not begin with the Rapture of the Church,so there could be months or even years between the Rapture and the beginning of the Tribulation. It will probably be several months to a year. No, the Tribulation begins when the Antichrist signs a treaty with Israel that allows them to rebuild their temple.
• When the treaty is signed, you can count down to the day when Jesus Christ is going to come at the Second Coming. That’s one of the reasons I know there's a difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming, for the Rapture could occur at any moment. When the Bible says you cannot know when the Lord's returning, that refers to the Rapture, because we know when the Lord's Second Coming is going to occur.
It's going to occur exactly seven years from the date that the treaty is signed. It even tells us in the book of Revelation how many days that will be until the Lord comes. So, if you were here during the Tribulation, you could calculate exactly seven years until the Lord's going to come.
• The Antichrist is going to come to power out of the European Union. Daniel says he will get power through cunning,deception, and his charismatic personality. I think he's going to use all those things to take over the European Union.
• But, let me tell you something, once he takes over, it doesn't matter how much charisma he has, he's not going to turn to the world quite yet and say, "Come and worship me." The world would say he's nuts because they haven't spent the last 250 years getting out from underneath European colonialism to suddenly turn around and say to a European ruler, "Come rule us." South America is not going to do that, and
neither is Asia. They're going to declare they've had enough of European colonialism. "We're not going to let you rule us!" And so, what happens is that as soon as the Antichrist comes to power, we're told in Revelation 6 that he launches a war to conquer the world. It's a conventional war which you can read a description of in Revelation 6.
• In the process of that war, the Antichrist will be responsible for slaughtering 1.5 billion people on planet earth! Revelation 6 says that one-fourth of humanity will die. Today we have close to seven billion people on planet earth. Let's say a billion of those are taken out in the Rapture. That's only going to leave six billion left here on this earth. One-fourth of six billion is 1.5 billion people that are going to die in this initial
war.
•
The Nuclear War of the Tribulation — Revelation8 & 9
• Revelation chapters 8 and 9 explains how the Conventional War begins to morph into a nuclear war. It talks about how suddenly one-third of the earth is burned up. Jesus Himself said in the end times that men will faint from fear from the terrors that will come upon the world. The war will morph into nuclear weapons.
• People need to realize that when mankind begins to rebel against God, God steps back and He lowers the hedge of protection. Read Romans 1 where it says that if there's no repentance, God steps back and lowers the hedge of protection. Romans also says that a third time He'll stand back and lower it, turning the people over to a depraved mind. Basically what He's saying is if you want to live that way, I will let you live
that way, and I will stop giving you any protection whatsoever. I'll let evil take its course. That's what's going to happen during the Great Tribulation. God's just going to step back and man is going to begin to use those weapons that have been restrained up to that time.
• Revelation tell us us that another one-third of humanity will die during that period. That's another 1.5 billion people. By the middle of the Tribulation, the book of Revelation teaches that one-half of the population of the world will be dead. That's 3 billion people!
• I have preachers sometimes call me and ask, "Do you think we are living in the Tribulation?" I say, "If we were in the Tribulation, you wouldn't have to call anybody and ask them. You will know it if you are living in the Tribulation."
• I don't plan to be here for the Tribulation. People will know if they are still here for the Tribulation because the death toll is going to be beyond anything in human history. Jesus said that if He didn't stop it, all mankind would cease to exist. The only reason anybody is going to live through the Tribulation is because He is going to bring it to an end. With those kinds of numbers, you know it's going to be that terrible.
•
In the third part of this sermon from the Holy Land presented at the ancient fortress of Megiddo that overlooks the Valley of Armageddon, we'll survey the fifth and sixth of the nine prophetic wars of the end times.
• Sermons From the Holy Land: The Nine Wars of the End Times (Part 1 of 4)
• By Dr. David R. Reagan
• I have been to Israel 45 times, and every time my spiritual life has been enriched. I recently took a video cameraman with me and had him shoot on the fly as I led a pilgrimage group through the land. We began in Tel Aviv, and went from there to Tiberias in the north, and then back to Jerusalem.
• I'll continue to share some of the sermons I presented from that trip with you. As I do so, I think you'll come to understand why a person once wrote, "A pilgrimage to the Holy Land converts the Bible from black and white into Technicolor."
• My fifth message was presented at the ancient fortress of Megiddo that overlooks the Valley of Armageddon. There we will survey the nine prophetic wars of the end times.
•
•
The Only War They Know
• Most people have heard of only one war of the end times, what is normally referred to as the Battle of Armageddon. But, the Bible speaks of nine end time wars. I want to talk to you about the final battles of the end times.
• Every time a war breaks out over in Israel, without exception Lamb & Lion Ministries gets calls and email messages all asking, "Is this the Battle of Armageddon?" The reason for that is because most people are only familiar with one battle of the end times, and that's the Battle of Armageddon. So, every time a war breaks out, people want to know, "Is this the Battle of Armageddon?"
• Most people know the name Armageddon, even people in the secular world. We've had movies named Armageddon. Secular writers talk about how we are in the time of Armageddon, and on and on it goes.
• What I want to point out to you is that I believe that Bible prophecy mentions nine wars in the end times, and only one of them is the Battle of Armageddon. As you're going to find out, the Battle of Armageddon is really no battle at all.
• Let's take a look for a moment at what those wars are that are prophesied to happen in the end times.
•
The First War of Gog & Magog — Ezekiel 38 and 39
• The end time war that most people talk about is found in Ezekiel 38 and 39 — the War of Gog and Magog. There's a man who has written a lot recently about this. His name is Joel Rosenberg. He's a very fine writer and a great fiction writer. He is also a student of Bible prophecy and truly loves the subject. I've been with him on several podiums which we've shared at conferences. I've got to know him well, and he's really a
great guy.
• Joel Rosenberg is the one who has really popularized the idea that the next major prophetic war will be Ezekiel 38 and 39. But, I think he's wrong about that, because Ezekiel 38 and 39 says that it will occur at a time when Israel is living in peace and without walls. In truth, Israel is not living in peace today. It's certainly is not living without walls. It has a wall that runs the entire length of the country. By the time it does all it
zigzags, the wall runs 400 miles long. In some places it's more of a scientific wall, in the sense a technological wall, because if you cross it sets off all kinds of alarms. In other places it's a big tall wall. The wall's been necessary to stop terrorists from coming into Israel. It's been extremely effective in stopping them. And so, Israel is not living in peace right now.
• Another thing that is interesting about the Ezekiel 38 and 39 War is it says that it's going to be an invasion led by Russia with certain specified allies. All the allies are specified, and all of them are Muslim states today. The thing that is most interesting is not one single nation that's mentioned in Ezekiel 38 and 39 has a common border with Israel. So, it begs the question, "Why is it that none of the states that have a
common border with Israel are mentioned?"
•
The War of Extermination — Psalm 83
• The person who has come up with an answer for that question in recent years is a man named Bill Salus, who is a good, personal friend of mine. Bill wrote a book called Isralestine.In his book he states that the first war of the end times in Bible prophecy is the War of Psalm 83.
• If you read that Psalm, and it's a short psalm, it talks about the fact that all the Arab states in the end times will get together and say, "Now is the time for us to annihilate the State of Israel." So, we call it the Psalm 83 War of Annihilation.
• An interesting fact about Psalm 83 is that it names the nations that are going to come against Israel, and every nation it names is one that has a common boundary with Israel today. Those names are Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Syria. They are the ones that come against Israel to annihilate it, as Psalm 83 foretells. I think the Psalm 83 War is going to be the next great war in the Middle East.
• Something interesting about Psalm 83 is that it doesn't tell who wins the war, but we know who wins it, because Zechariah 12 says in the end times one of the miracles that God is going to perform is that Israel will have one of the greatest military forces in the world. As you know, Israel is one of the smallest countries in the world, but it is always ranked in the top four in terms of military power. Many rank it number
one in the effective use of its power.
• I think that probably the first war of the end times in prophecy is going to be the Psalm 83 War. That's when the nations that have a common boundary with Israel will come against and try to destroy Israel. I also think that is most likely when Damascus will be destroyed, because two times in the Old Testament we are told that Damascus will cease to exist in the end times.
• The Syrians have highly sophisticated missiles. They could put a missile right down the smokestack of any building in Tel Aviv if they wanted to, and they are only shooting them 125 miles, not thousands of miles. Syria also has all kinds of chemical weapons. If they were to attack Tel Aviv with chemical weapons, probably the only way the Israelis would be able to defend themselves is to use one of their tactical nuclear
weapons to blow up the city of Damascus. So, it could very well be that that very first war of the end times is the one in which Damascus will cease to exist.
• The Psalm 83 War is a war between Israel and all the inner circle of Muslim States that have a common boundary with Israel. I think that's going to be the first war.
• That makes the second war of the end times the one described in Ezekiel 38 and 39, when Russia comes down with certain specified Muslim allies. Those countries form an outer ring. None of them have a single common border with Israel.
• I think what will happen is in the first war Israel will conquer all the states around it and will finally have peace. At that point the Muslim world will turn to its natural ally, Russia. The Russians will come smiling from ear to ear because they've always wanted to dominate the Middle East. What they really want is not so much the annihilation of Israel as much as they want access to all the Arab oil fields.
• The Arabs will invite the Russians in, and surely they'll come. But, the great horde of invaders will all be destroyed supernaturally upon the hills of Israel. They won't be destroyed by the Israeli Defense Forces like in the first war of Psalm 83. This time God will personally provide the victory, and He'll do it in such a way that even the people of Israel will realize that God did it.
• The result of God's victory is that many of the Jewish people will begin to believe. I also think that includes many of our tour guides who have heads full of Scripture, but hearts that are cold to the Gospel, they will suddenly see God intervene and deliver the nation of Israel. Boom! They're eyes will be opened.
• To summarize, the first prophetic end times war is going to be the Psalm 83 War and the next one will be the Ezekiel 38 and 39 War, but we don't know when these are going to occur. There's lots of debate among prophecy scholars as to when they will occur. Some think it's going to occur in the middle of the Tribulation, while some at the beginning of the Tribulation. Some think it will start before the Tribulation.
• I tend to think these two wars are going to start before the Tribulation, because Ezekiel talks about the fact that when the Gog-Magog War is over, the Israelis are going to spend seven years cleaning up the battle field. We know that in the middle of the Tribulation the Antichrist is going to run the Jews out of the country. They are not going to be there to clean up the battle field after that. That's why I think most likely
the war of Ezekiel 38 and 39 will start 3.5 years before the Tribulation begins. Israel therefore will finish cleaning up the battlefields in the middle of the Tribulation.

In the second part of this sermon from the Holy Land presented at the ancient fortress of Megiddo that overlooks the Valley of Armageddon, we'll survey the third and fourth of the nine prophetic wars of the end times.

Luke 21:24, the times of the Gentiles
• Today is November 22, 2013, Verse of the Day -- Luke 21:24 Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
• THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
• God's plans stand.
• MINI BIBLE STUDY FOR THE DAY
• When Jesus comes back to earth for His second coming, His thousand-year reign as King of earth will begin.
• Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of
their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had notreceived the
mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.—Revelation 20:4Until that
happens, the period labeled by Jesus as the "times of the Gentiles" will continue. The context doesn't mean Jews can't control Jerusalem,
but rather that it would be continually subject to Gentile invasion and interference, much like today. You can read more about this Gentile
domination in Daniel 2 and 7.The Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate, who lived from 331 to 363AD, read this prophecy in the Bible and
thought he saw a chance to forever discredit Christianity. All he had to do was get the Jews to rebuild Jerusalem and their temple. So he put
up the money and encouraged the Jews to return to Jerusalem and start rebuilding their temple. He provided them with silver shovels, and
they began by lavishly carrying dirt in beautiful purple veils. But they quickly had to abandon the project as they were interrupted by an
earthquake and balls of fire coming up from the ground (Edward Gibbon,The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, II:95-101).
