David Rosenthal, President of Zion's Hope, explains the real reason Israel is under siege as the world continues to watch the war in Gaza. The Jewish people believe, as right-believing Christians also believe, that God gave land with definite boundaries to Israel as an everlasting inheritance. The conflict over that land is rooted in who sovereignly gave the land. David also examines the historical account of God's covenant with Abraham, and how that covenant goes beyond land to the redemptive p...

When everyone has an opinion on what the latest war in the Middle East means “according to Bible prophecy”, how do you know who to listen to?

In Gideon’s case, he was communicating with the third nature of God, the physical nature. This would have been the physical manifestation of God before He c...

Dr. Alan Kurschner adduced five reasons why the Bible teaches a literal, personal Antichrist figure and not a figurative, impersonal Antichrist. The Bible uses many descriptions and titles for this eschatological Antichrist figure. The term "Antichrist" is the most popular. Historicists (most) and Idealists deny a literal personal Antichrist, construing instead an impersonal embodiment such as "government" or a "principle of evil." The five reasons Dr. Kurschner gave are as follows: 1. John in h...

Jake McCandless continues from his previous episode in which he shared a comparison using Charles Dickens’ famous quote from A Tale of Two Cities, about the best of times and the worst of times during pre-revolution London and Paris, with the end-of-the-age Church. Scripture gives many details of the Church at the end of the age, most of which is heart-breaking and negative. But during such desperate times the Church rises to new heights. Jake calls these heights a second heroic age of the Churc...

Jake McCandless provides a compelling comparison using Charles Dickens' famous quote from A Tale of Two Cities, about the best of times and the worst of times during pre-revolution London and Paris, with the end-of-the-age Church. Throughout his Stand Firm events and teachings, Jake often quotes that the Bible gives a detailed picture of the church at the end of the age. Most of that picture is heart-breaking, as Scripture warns of many who turn away from the Faith; but in the middle of such dev...

Dr. Alan Kurschner explained Jesus's reply to the disciples' question about the sign of his coming and the end of the age. Jesus warned that there would be false signs from false messianic claimants. Jesus—the Son of Man—described that his return would be unmistakable and universal using poignant imagery and a proverb. In essence, Jesus was teaching that the sign would be himself in all his radiant and brilliant glory. The sign would be situated by the backdrop of the celestial disturbances dark...

Bob Hunt of Zion’s Hope in Winter Garden, Florida concludes his five-part series “Past, Present or Future”. The goal of this series is to look at Daniel’s profound prophecy, found in Daniel 9:24-27, one verse at a time. This text is hotly debated and two positions appear to rise above the rest. The first view, which Bob labels the Symbolist view, determines that the events described by Daniel have substantially all occurred in the past. Also, any reference to years is not to be taken literally, ...

In this session, Charles Cooper concludes his defense for rejecting the dominant views on the timing of the rapture. He delineates why he is convinced that the synthetic view of the timing of the rapture best explains the textual details in Scripture. Taking the strengths of the Pre-, Mid-, and Post-trib positions and adding the defining straight of the PreWrath position, Cooper sets forth the four pillars that must undergird the correct rapture position. Cooper insists that if his position is v...

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 time...
