Ron Wallace discusses the scene in heaven, when the Apostle John's is taken there by a vision in 96 AD. John is shown symbols of who is there, and what is being done in preparation for the future. Ron also discusses the shortcomings of the Revelation 4:1 rapture theory.
In this session, Charles Cooper begins a study of the Book of Revelation with the intent to determine which passage most likely evidences the timing of the rapture. In this introductory session, Cooper explains that the correct view is a synthetic view that adopts the biblically defensible truths taken from the three dominant views of previously held rapture positions, i.e., Pre-, Mid-, and Posttribulationism. Cooper highlights the pros and cons of each rapture position, which have prevented eac...
Marquis Laughlin examines what the Apostle Peter learned and taught about the Last Days. The Apostle Peter may have been the one person who looked forward to Christ’s Kingdom the most. Known as “the Apostle of Hope”, his view of the timing and nature of the coming reign of Christ changed dramatically as he came into a deeper knowledge of God. Peter reminds us to not forget “this one fact” when it comes to the timing of the Lord’s return. Unfortunately, this “one fact” is something the modern chu...
Jake McCandless continues his series, "Prophetic Lessons from Covid". In this series Jake reflects on the Covid-19 pandemic and the faith-fallout with it, seeing it as a “test run” or “shot across the bow”. For those tracking in Bible prophecy before the pandemic, they had the unique experience of being warned, being called to try to warn, and then seeing it come to pass in some way. Very few prophetic voices have been able to see such a hint of what they were warned about come to pass. It’s tim...
Michael Ufferman, a Zion’s Hope teaching staff member, continues his series of messages entitled: “Christ: Yesterday, Today, and Forever”. In this part 3, he shows how Scripture is very clear that, though it says “no man has seen God”, Abraham did see God. This is when God’s triune, three-in-one nature becomes important. Nobody has seen God, the Father, but the visible manifestation of God is seen in God, the Son. Before Christ was born to Mary, His pre-incarnate being was seen as the “Angel of ...
Holly Pivec shares three more reasons why knowing the Bible’s End-Times prophecies is important. In her previous episode, Holly explained the first three reasons. To learn more about the New Apostolic Reformation ("NAR") movement, which has many extreme and unbiblical teachings about the end times, see Holly’s co-authored book, Counterfeit Kingdom: The Dangers of New Revelation, New Prophets, and New Age Practices in the Church. To go deeper, see her other co-authored books, A New Apostolic Refo...
Ron Wallace teaches that Jesus exhorted the disciples and, by application, all believers concerning the importance of being faithful to Christian virtues. In view of any hardship, suffering or persecution - not only at this present time in our lives - but even more so during the time of the future Great Tribulation, prayerful trust in God's character and plan will prepare the believer to stand before the Lord with confidence and not be ashamed when He returns!
Dr. Alan Kurschner described a helpful approach to studying the doctrine of the second coming. The books of the Bible have been progressively revealed to God's people in history with the book of Revelation as the very last book that was written to complete the Bible. So, instead of starting with the book of Revelation, he suggests starting with key biblical prophecy passages in the book of Daniel, Jesus's Olivet Discourse, and Paul's Thessalonian epistles. Accordingly, it is best to begin with D...
Michael Ufferman, a Zion’s Hope teaching staff member, continues his series of messages entitled: “Christ: Yesterday, Today, and Forever”. In this part 2 of his series, Michael discusses the nature of the Son of God and His purpose to bear witness of God. As such, Michael shows biblical proof of Christ’s pre-existence of God’s creative act, which confirms Christ is God, and how He transcended time to bear witness of God to the likes of Abram/Abraham and others.
Dr. Alan Kurschner announced the next issue of Biblical Prophecy Magazine briefly discussing the new articles in the magazine, Janet Willis's article on New Jerusalem and his own article on prophecies before the rapture.

In this insightful discussion, Dr. Kurschner refutes several foundational premises (or suppositions) upon which Pretrib Rapturism is grounded, including the claim that God does not work with the Church and Israel at the same time. Kurschner counters with several biblical examples showi...
Ron Wallace reviews the nature of the tribulation through a study of Matthew 24:9-14. And he explains what it means when Jesus said that the tribulation will be cut short.
Michael Ufferman, a Zion’s Hope teaching staff member, begins a series of messages entitled: “Christ: Yesterday, Today, and Forever”. In this session, he briefly addresses how God is identified in the Testaments of Scripture. He explains the differentiations in the various basic names of God, their spellings, and capitalizations. In this discussion, Michael also explains the concept of the “tri-unity of God”. This will lay the foundation for addressing Scripture references and understanding who ...
Charles Cooper continues his look at the nations that are necessary to end human history as we know it. Cooper sees Persia (Iran), Cush (Ethiopia), and Put (Libya) as depicted in Ezekial 38-39 dealing with the end of the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ and not the end of Daniel's final Week.
Bob Hunt has been examining Daniel 9:24-27 verse by verse. This detailed study focuses on two main viewpoints. The first is whether these verses have already occurred in our past or does any of it have a future fulfillment. The second point is whether these verses are to be taken literally or symbolically with a theological meaning. The literalist understands the years and events described by Daniel in a natural sense with common understanding. Specifically, "a year is a year". Therefore Daniel’...
Dr. Alan Kurschner answers this question of whether the seals in the book of Revelation express God's future eschatological wrath. First Four Horsemen Seals He began with the first four seals showing that these are natural events in contrast to the supernatural judgment elements in the trumpets and bowls. The first four seals will purify the church before Christ returns. He also responded to the pretrib ignorant claim that "God would never bring tribulation to the church"; for example, noted is ...
Marquis Laughlin examines Judas’ betrayal of Jesus and what it reveals about His return. Jesus said that He had to be betrayed to fulfill scripture, but which ones? And what can we learn from the verses Jesus quoted about the ultimate persecution of believers by the Antichrist?

Charles Cooper highlights the significant role Egypt has played, and will play, in Bible history. God has a special place in his heart for the Egyptian people, which Isaiah calls "my people." There has been fear among some that the low birthrate in Egypt might see a significant decline in the Egyptian people, but rest assured, God's prophetic depicted role of the Egyptians will not fail. Egypt will be there at the end.
Dr. Michael Weis explores an important and interesting subject that is connected to other areas within one's own prophetic views: defining who or what The Restrainer is, mentioned by the Apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2. Who or what is this? Many views are proposed and Dr. Weis briefly looks into each one, to see if it is valid or not, as he continues to biblically define important End Times Terms!
Chris White discusses the theory that the Solomon's temple (and the Herodian temple) was 600 feet away from where it is currently believed to have been.
Bob Hunt continues his verse-by-verse examination of this important eschatological passage. As he unpacks the passage he will focus in on whether these verses should be held as being in the “Past, Present or Future”. A person’s view will have many theological and eschatological implications. If all in the past then Daniel’s seventieth week has a far different meaning than if in the future. A second focal point is whether these verses were intended to be taken symbolically or literally. If symbol...

This summer Jake and his family got a firsthand look at those fulfilled prophecies and realized there was more than he even realized. In this episode, he shares what he saw and focuses on his daug...

Ron Wallace presents what he perceives to be the meaning of the seven seals of the book of The Revelation. From the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel, to the start of the tribulation, to Christ's glorious return in the clouds of the sky, and to the summoning up of all things in Christ, the book of The Revelation presents a road map that leads to the perfect peace and joy in the eternal kingdom. This brief analysis of the seven seals is an interesting survey of some of the events on that road ...
