Prime-Time Historical Ignorance

Prime-Time Historical Ignorance

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Katy Tur and an MS NOW panel show that ignorance of our nation’s history is rampant. We’re coming up on July 4th, celebrating the Declaration of Independence in its 250th year. Apparently, some people have never read the Declaration of Independence. Let’s not forget that it’s not a standalone document. The Constitution references it: “done in Conv [...]

Prophetic Dealing off the Bottom of the Deck

Prophetic Dealing off the Bottom of the Deck

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Imagine yourself hearing or reading the New Testament gospels and letters for the first time as they circulated throughout the Roman Empire. Would anyone in those days have constructed the prophetic wild child that passes for biblical eschatology today with gaps between a number like 70, redefining Greek words like “near” and “shortly” by quoting [...]

What Israel Is Really All About

What Israel Is Really All About

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here What is the focus of redemptive history? Is it Jesus or the modern state of Israel? This is not a trick question. Every Christian would say Jesus is the focus and center of redemptive history. Our calendars used to use BC for Before Christ and AD for Anno Domini, that is, “the Year of our Lord.” Our nation’s Constitution affirms this in words just [...]

Racial Gerrymandering and Black Victimhood Profiteering

Racial Gerrymandering and Black Victimhood Profiteering

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Exploiting race for political and financial advantage has a long history. Black “leaders” like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton made their living by promoting black victimhood and white guilt. Jackson spent his career shaking down big-name corporations with threats and boycotts if they did not do his bidding in the name of “racial justice.” Rush Limb [...]

Should the Olivet Discourse be Divided?

Should the Olivet Discourse be Divided?

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here I saw the following on Facebook: “The Sign of His Coming By Hugo Grotius: A Preterist Commentary on the Mount Olivet Discourse with Commentary by Dr. Kenneth L. Gentry and Jay Rogers.” The authors argue that the subject shifts from the judgment on Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple from Matthew 24:4-24:34 to a distant future coming of Jes [...]

Using Penguins to Support Homosexuality

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Scientists have claimed that same-sex coupling in nature offers prime evidence that homosexuality among humans is naturally and morally normal. • Whatever animals do in nature is natural. • What’s natural is normal. • What’s normal is moral. How can we mere mortals impose our rules of sexual behavior on what’s natural in the animal kingdom? Homose [...]

The Southern Poverty Law Center Is Not Interested in Poverty or Justice

The Southern Poverty Law Center Is Not Interested in Poverty or Justice

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been indicted on federal fraud charges, with the U.S. Department of Justice accusing it of wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. The charges stem from allegations that the SPLC funneled over $3 million in donor funds between 2014 and 2023 to individuals associated with extremi [...]

“But What about Zechariah 14?”

“But What about Zechariah 14?”

No matter how much prophetic material you cover, there are always people who ask, “But what about this verse and that verse?” My first foray into dealing with Bible prophecy was The Reduction of Christianity: Dave Hunt’s Theology of Cultural Surrender, published in 1988. This was followed by The Debate over Christian Reconstruction that same year. It was a response to a debate that Dr. Gary North [...]

Why Millennial Animal Sacrifices Undermine Christianity

Why Millennial Animal Sacrifices Undermine Christianity

Joel Richardson posted the following on Facebook: “Why Millennial Sacrifices Do Not Undermine the Cross.” There are several problems with this claim. First, Revelation 20 does not say Jesus will reign on Earth for the symbolic thousand years, that another temple will be built (I’m losing count), or that animal sacrifices will take place. Everything the premils say about Revelation must be imported [...]

Borrowed Moral Capital is Holding the World Together (but for how long?)

Borrowed Moral Capital is Holding the World Together (but for how long?)

The phrase “Do you believe in God?” is a direct line from Andy Weir’s novel Project Hail Mary, where the character Ryland Grace asks his colleague Steve if he believes in God. In the 2026 film adaptation, this question is reimagined as a conversation between Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) and project leader Eva Stratt (Sandra Hüller). Stratt responds to Grace’s inquiry about her fai [...]

Has Christianity become “Socially irrelevant, even if privately engaging”?

Has Christianity become “Socially irrelevant, even if privately engaging”?

Thomas Jefferson, serving as the ambassador to France, and John Adams, ambassador to Britain, met in London with Sidi Haji Abdrahaman, the Dey of Tripoli’s ambassador to Britain, attempting to negotiate a peace treaty with the Islamic world of their time. Jefferson and Adams argued in vain that the United States was not at war with Islam. The following is from a March 28, 1786, letter addressed to [...]

The Dried-Up Euphrates as a Sign the Rapture is Near

The Dried-Up Euphrates as a Sign the Rapture is Near

It’s being argued that the dried-up Euphrates is the marching route of a 200-million-man army from China on horseback (Rev. 9:13-21). The drying up of the Euphrates takes place after “the stars fell from heaven to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs … [a]nd the sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places” (Rev. [...]

The ‘Rapture’ is Being used to Boost Book Sales

The ‘Rapture’ is Being used to Boost Book Sales

Once again, the Bible is being interpreted through the lens of current events. “All the signs are in place,” prophecy “experts” tell us. Nearly eight out of 10 Evangelicals say they believe the ongoing violence in the Middle East is an indication that the rapture is on the horizon, a new survey … shows. Research conducted by the Brookings Institute’s Center for Middle East Policy on A [...]

Joel Richardson's Abominable Interpretation of the 'Abomination of Desolation'

Joel Richardson's Abominable Interpretation of the 'Abomination of Desolation'

“Therefore, when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place—let the reader understand—” (Matthew 24:15). “When you see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.” Joel Richardson claims that Matthew 24:15 has not been fulfilled. The temple was still standing when Jesus issued this dire prediction. To be fulfilled [...]

Dispensationalism’s Predicted Inevitable ‘Road to Holocaust’

Dispensationalism’s Predicted Inevitable ‘Road to Holocaust’

If The Road to Holocaust is unfamiliar, it is the title of a book Hal Lindsey wrote in 1989, published by secular publisher Bantam Books (666 Fifth Avenue, NYC). Lindsey claimed that if you did not believe in a pre-tribulational rapture but believed instead that God’s Word applied to all areas of life and Christians should work for that goal, then you believed it “could lead us—and Israel— to disa [...]

Is There Only One ‘Day of the Lord’?

Is There Only One ‘Day of the Lord’?

In Joel Richardson’s podcast “The One Prophecy that Debunks Preterism, Replacement Theology & the Lies of the Anti-Semites,” he began with comments about “the day of the Lord.” He then tried to show that Ezekiel 38 cannot be interpreted as fulfilled prophecy. It’s the only way it can be interpreted, as I point out in my book The Gog and Magog End-Time Alliance. Richardson claimed that I argue [...]

Dispensationalism Enables Islam, Marxism, and Secularism

Dispensationalism Enables Islam, Marxism, and Secularism

“Joel Richardson” (his pen name) has written several books on eschatology (Mystery Babylon, When Jew Rules the World, and The Islamic Antichrist) and produced numerous videos. One of his latest is “The One Prophecy that Debunks Preterism, Replacement Theology, and the Lies of the Anti-Semites.” It’s about the “day of the Lord” and Ezekiel 38. If he thinks Ezekiel 38 “debunks” preterism, he is in f [...]

Hopscotching Through the Bible to Muddy the Clear Water

Hopscotching Through the Bible to Muddy the Clear Water

Jason Bradfield has written another article that mentions me and confuses me. The confusion began when he referred to “Brenton LXX Psalm 95:13” 14 times. There are only 11 verses in Psalm 95. I was thinking to myself, “What is he talking about?” Most people would not know about this if they were to go to, for example, BibleHub.com and click on LXX 95. While they might not be able to read Greek, th [...]

‘Second Verse Same as the First’: We’ve Heard this Before

‘Second Verse Same as the First’: We’ve Heard this Before

John Bevere claims “we are closer to the return of Jesus than most believers realize.” Anyone can say this who believes the future physical return of Jesus is closer, whether it’s next week or the next millennium. Bevere considers closer to mean really close, like any day now, while he dismisses the biblical insistence that the coming of Jesus was “near” for that first-century generation (Matt. 24 [...]
