My wife and I were watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire when I turned to her and asked,
“Want to have a little fun tonight?”
“No,” she said flatly.
“Is that your final answer?” I asked.
She sighed. “Yes.”
“So,” I said, “I’d like to phone a friend.”
And that’s when the fight started.
The Steak Order
I took my wife out to dinner, and when the waiter asked what I wanted, I said,
“I’ll have the rump steak. Rare.”
The waiter raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you worried about the mad cow?”
I grinned. “Nah, she can order for herself.”
And that’s when the fight started.
High School Reunion
At my wife’s high school reunion, she kept staring at a man drinking alone.
“Do you know him?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “He started drinking the day we broke up, and he never stopped.”
I nodded. “Wow… who knew someone could celebrate for that long?”
And that’s when the fight started.
The Lawnmower
Our lawnmower broke, and my wife kept hinting that I should fix it. I pretended not to notice.
One day, I came home to find her in knee-high grass, cutting it with scissors.
I handed her a toothbrush and said, “When you’re done, you can sweep the driveway.”
The doctor says I’ll walk again someday…
But I’ll always have a limp.
Dust on the TV
My wife sat beside me as I switched channels.
“What’s on TV?” she asked.
I said, “Dust.”
And that’s when the fight started.
Fishing Trip
I woke early to go fishing but saw a storm raging outside. So I crawled back into bed and whispered,
“The weather’s awful out there.”
Still half-asleep, she murmured, “Can you believe my husband is out fishing in that?”
And that’s how the fight started.
Anniversary Surprise
For our anniversary, my wife said she wanted something shiny that could go from 0 to 150 in three seconds.
So I bought her a bathroom scale.
And that’s when the fight started.
Social Security
I forgot my wallet at the Social Security office.
The clerk said, “Prove you’re over 65.”
So I opened my shirt and showed her my gray chest hair.
“That’ll do,” she said.
When I told my wife, she replied, “You should’ve dropped your pants—maybe they’d give you disability too!”
And that’s when the fight started.
Compliment, Please
My wife stood in front of the mirror and said,
“I look old, fat, and tired. Say something nice.”
I said, “Your eyesight is perfect.”
And that’s when the fight started.
The Dwarf
This morning, I rear-ended a car. The driver was a dwarf.
He stormed over and yelled, “I am NOT Happy!”
I said, “Oh… so which one are you?”
And that’s when the fight started.
Mother-in-Law’s Gift
For Christmas one year, I bought my mother-in-law a cemetery plot.
The next year, I didn’t get her anything.
She asked why.
I said, “Well… you still haven’t used last year’s gift.”
And that’s when the fight started.
Christmas is coming
All the stores are filled with Christmas displays. If you are an early shopper here’s some great gift ideas for those who love Christian suspense stories.

Illegals, Leftist Lies, and Outright Stupidity

I rarely visit Facebook anymore as I have little use for that bastion of negativity and foolishness. That said, I was on Facebook a few days ago, and saw the following post reposted by someone I know unfortunately.
“When someone uses the word ‘illegals,’ I am done listening to what they have to say. I live in America, a nation stolen from the indigenous natives, built on the backs of slaves, & [sic] made prosperous by the sweat & [sic] blood of immigrants. ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.’ My country is not white. It’s not Christian. It’s American. It’s made up of people from around the globe. Humans aren’t illegal. But your dehumanization & [sic] demonization should be.”
I won’t reveal who posted it, or where it came from. I have zero interest in “demonizing” anyone, however, I do take exception to such ignorant and foolish attitudes.
People who come here ILLEGALLY are called illegals, get over it. That’s what they are, illegal; these people have disregarded our laws, KNOWING they are crossing into our country without permission.
Does anyone seriously believe that they could simply cross the border of another country without permission in order to live there, which is illegal, and then expect a warm welcome when you are caught for having done so?
Nations have laws, laws are there for a reason, usually. Concerning NOT allowing just anyone to cross our border at any time, whenever they feel like it – there are VERY good reasons for this, to wit:
To all those who support illegals – do you REALLY want THESE people to be able to come here to our country???? Because guess what, they HAVE.
Criminals
Gang members, like the EXTREMELY violent MS-13
Drug runners
Smugglers
Terrorists
Murderers
People trafficking women and children for sex and other horrid things (Organ harvesting)
Agents for foreign countries
Those who are sick with dangerous diseases
People who are NOT looking for a fresh start, but rather are looking for a free lunch, which incidentally, many of them receive courtesy of YOUR tax dollars
People who feel NO attachment to this country, but INSIST we must honor THEIR customs and their home country’s flag
People who come here to get an American education, and then return to their own country and use what they have learned against us. YES, this has and does happen
Other nations violent dissidents, people that these other countries are happy to get rid of
America Was Stolen
Some U.S. land was purchased from the Native Americans, and yes some of it, we (The United States) took by force, that is unfortunate, but it is also ancient history, what is done is done. I also do not see anyone who thinks that the land should be returned to the Native Americans abandoning their homes and moving elsewhere, you know, to a new country quite possibly?
The U.S. is not giving up its’ land, this is a moot point.
Then there is this: were the “Native Americans” really the FIRST people living here??? Where is the proof of this?
America Was Built With Slave Labor
America was built on the backs of slaves – this is such a stupid statement; it never ceases to amaze me that people actually believe this nonsense. This is a tactic used by the Democrats, by liberals who are looking to con people, to convince people to think the way that they do, it’s all about power and control, and it’s a LIE. The liberals want people to believe that America is the enemy, most school age children right on through the college years are taught this garbage. America and Israel, BAD. Palestine (Never existed to begin with), GOOD.
It is worth mentioning here that slavery did NOT start in America as some would have you believe. Many black slaves were sold by other black people (The Atlantic slave trade)! Free black people in the American South also owned slaves, BLACK slaves. It is also worth noting that the “Native Americans,” or Indians, ENSLAVED other Indian tribes!
History is often not what people think it is, because the so-called history that we read and/or are told about, and is taught in our schools, is rewritten to suit those who choose to deviate from what our REAL history is.
It has been said that history is written by the victor, but it can also be reliably stated that history is written (Made up, changed, outright lied about etc.) by those who desire to change a nations opinions and beliefs.
When our history, or any nations’ history is changed to reflect only the bad things that happened, and the good things were expunged from the record, how would that change your attitude and perception of this nation and our people?
“The single biggest problem with the teaching of, writing about, presenting etc., of our history, is that much of it is revisionist. In other words, what is taught is not the true story, it’s not real, it has been “edited” to present the ideals that a particular group of people, as well as individuals want to showcase. When history is changed in any way from what really happened, it is no longer history, it is propaganda.
“I’m not at all sure how many people have heard of The 1619 Project. This “project” claims to illuminate people concerning the REAL history of America, such as: our nation was founded on slavery (This is a false and devious claim). The “project” also claims to be a tool to combat black racism.”
You see, the problem with the “America was built on slavery,” narrative – is that a lot of information is left out so that people don’t know what really happened. If you did know, you would not draw the conclusions that the liberal leftists want to you too draw.
If you were to research The 1619 Project, you would come to understand that these people lied to all of us. They based the “America was built on slavery” narrative on the Jamestown settlement in Virginia, an admittedly not-so-good group of people. However, the 1619 folks COMPLETELY ignored the OTHER settlement – the Plymouth settlement in Massachusetts.
The Plymouth settlement BOUGHT the land they were on from the Indians that were there. The settlers also basically instituted the beginnings of the free market economy – in other words, work hard (For yourself), and reap the rewards.
You can read more about all of this in my article on The 1619 Project and other related matters here:
Revisionist Lies, The 1619 Project, and the History of America
America is a Global Melting Pot
It is true that the United States is made up of people from all around the world. Many of these people however came to the U.S. LEGALLY!!!! The earlier immigrants to this country, they wanted a new life, a new opportunity for themselves, they wanted to become Americans, this was THEIR home, THEIR country. These immigrants did a LOT to help transform this nation into the prosperous nation that we are today.
The problem is NOT immigrants, immigrants are people who did what it takes to come to the U.S. legally, desiring to be part of the “American Dream.” The problem is the people who come here ILLEGALLY.
The statement quoted from the above Facebook post, “Humans aren’t illegal,” is completely asinine and stupid. This is yet another leftist tactic to tug at a persons’ heart-strings, to get people emotionally hooked and involved. Of course, “humans” are not illegal, but the fact that these people cross our nations border at will, WITHOUT the permission of the U.S. government, well that is illegal.
I do understand that there are people who are simply looking to flee a bad situation, or even a dangerous situation, I feel for them. That does NOT however mean that these people should be allowed to illegally enter into the United States!
That would be like if I said that when I could no longer pay the monthly payment to the bank for my home, and said bank foreclosed on me for not keeping up with the payments (This actually did happen to me, I’m not making it up); that I should be able to keep my home even though I was unable to repay those who had lent me the money! Preposterous and ridiculous.
Reality
Nations need to be run by the rule of law, NOT by whatever emotion(s) is prevalent at the time. Emotions do not a good and prosperous nation make.
It’s fine, and even good to have a heart for others, but just as a business needs to be run to make money, our nation needs to be run to protect and serve the people who live here. Yes, I realize we have a long way to go on this front, but allowing people to enter the U.S. illegally, and then not only sheltering them after they break our laws, but then reward them with free housing, medical care, income etc., that is NOT right. It is also not in the best interests of our own people.

HELL EXPLAINED
HELL EXPLAINED
Sally Lopez July 17, 2020
The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona chemistry midterm, and an actual answer turned in by a student.
The answer by one student was so ‘profound’ that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving, which is unlikely. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, ‘It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,’ and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct….. …leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting “Oh my God.”
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

“They Walk Among Us!I was at the checkout at Walmart, minding my own business, when the cashier rang up my total: $46.64. I handed her a crisp $50 bill. She looked me dead in the eye, gave me back $46.64, and went back to scanning items like a professional.
Me: “Uh… I think there’s a mistake.” Her: huffs dramatically “Sir, I am educated. I know what I’m doing.”
She pushed the money back at me like I was trying to scam her. So, I did what any reasonable person would do—I gave it back.
She, once again, shoved it back at me with extra attitude.
I shrugged, picked up my bags, and walked out with $46.64 in my pocket. 🤷♂️

She happily handed me two free lattes. I didn’t argue. I just walked out, sipping my victory. ☕☕

My brother was house hunting and asked the real estate agent which direction was north. He explained that he didn’t want the sun waking him up every morning.
The agent furrowed her brow. “Wait… does the sun rise in the north?”
My brother, thinking she was joking, laughed.
She was not joking.
He gently explained that the sun rises in the east… and, you know, has been doing that for quite a while now.
She shook her head and said, “Oh, I don’t keep up with all that stuff.”
I… had to walk away.

I stared at my screen for a solid 10 seconds before replying:
“Uh… Pacific.”
He thanked me and hung up, probably feeling proud of himself.

The First AI Hunts Jews – The Last AI Hunts All of Us
Inspirational Christian Blogs
By apmichael on February 27, 2025
Are we about to lose our heads over AI, Tik Tok, and digital money – literally?
After, a half century of studies in eschatology, (Second coming of Christ) and a vision about the same, I have come to a few immutable conclusions.
The first, is that most of Christianity has come to the belief that we are in the very last days preceding the return of Christ.
The other, is that many are still bickering and contesting a few of the signs and the order in which they occur.
When we search for ‘trusted’ and ‘certified’ ministries we come upon another wall to scale.
The Pharisees in Jesus day were the ‘trusted’ interpreters of all scripture. Yet, Christ called them snakes, hypocrites and thieves. They were perfect as it pertains to the letter of the law, but they were dismal failures at interpreting the practical applications, the spiritual and the intuitive side of the law.
Little wonder that Jesus gave us a new way of approaching God called ‘grace.’
Because this is true, we should be forewarned that when it comes to second coming teachings, we must avoid the popular version, and trust only the scriptures and the Holy Spirit.
Like anything in life, some things can be nailed down while others require that we hold the views loosely in our hands so God can yank them out of our hand and make some revisions as time goes along.
The Jews argued the Messianic Prophecies (first coming of Christ) until thousands of the people missed the actual time of their Messiah and wallowed in endless arguments. We need not ask whether that could happen again – it is already here.
Even when we find ministries and preachers that are considered ‘trusted’ – there will always be some points we will not agree with.
Some disagreement is harmless, but some could be life endangering. An example of a harmless belief comes from the teachings of the late, Hal Lindsey. I loved his teachings and along with God’s prompting in my life Lindsey’s books were a strong impetus for my initial studies.
But right out of the gate I noticed a blaring mistake.
Lindsey began his “The Late Great Planet Earth’ by describing how a false prophet would have been stoned to death in ancient Israel, if his prophecies turned out to be false.
The truth found in both the scriptures and in the historical record show something quite different. In fact, almost all of the prophets that were killed were true prophets. A rebellious ancient Israel did not take well to the constant call to repentance. They hated the interference.
Stephan, the first martyr of the church said:
“Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers.” (Acts 7:52)
Ancient Israelites had a thing for false gods and religions, and that included hundreds of false prophets. False prophets were always relatively safe because, they gave the rulers what they wanted to hear.
But just as I know to remove the bones from the fish before eating, I knew Hal Lindsey’s work could be trusted by me and others.
Are we confusing the entire world with our endless rapture controversies?
Two verses of scripture are a rock-solid guarantee that God will remove all his believers in a millisecond. There will be no fanfare, preliminary warnings or mistaking what is taking place. The believer will know it, and the rest of the world will observe it on a worldwide scale.
The words are straight up and clear as a bell.
“Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left” (Mt 24:40)
“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (1Cor 15:52)
While the fact of the rapture is clear, the timing is not.
The largest group of Christian believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. That is a belief that before all the troubles begin at the arrival of Christ, he will get his own children out of the way.
The problem with this belief is that the man known as the Antichrist has a whole lot of his own troubles to cast on the entire world, including executions and death.
The second largest group of believers thinks that we will go through a lot of early troubles, but we will be removed midway through the last seven years of time. The midway point is when Antichrist does his final act and presents himself to be God in the newly rebuilt Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. This view is called the mid-tribulation Rapture.
“But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains.” (Mk 13:14)
The Antichrist will be standing in the middle of the Temple proclaiming his divinity and he continues on that path for the next 3 ½ years, that is what results in the judgment of God on the entire globe.
Finally, the smallest group are the post tribulationists. They think all the troubles; the scenarios and the death will have finished before Christ lifts his people out of the earth.
The post tribulation view has no chance of being accurate.
But the timing of the rapture still baffles theologians and preachers because it is hard to say just when the full wrath of God begins. It suffices to say that the worst of God’s judgment (wrath) begins at the blowing of the last trumpet which brings the dreaded seven vials of wrath to all humankind.
All these views are colored by another verse of scripture. In fact, it should always be used in conjunction with any rapture theory. Until we know the exact moment when God’s wrath begins, we cannot safely ascertain when the lifting away will happen.
Our confidence, is that God will not waste a single second of time, when he is about to judge this world – we will be gone, to wit:
“And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” (1 Th 1:10)
God does not drop death and hell on his own children, would you?
Why Do We Soften the Events of The Second Coming of Christ to Look Like a Bad Hair Day?
This writer has preached over five thousand sermons and written thousands of articles, mostly about the second coming of Jesus Christ. I noticed early on that people began to puzzle, squirm, and question the powerful planet busting judgments that come to the earth, during Christ’s active intervention with our planet.
Often teachers of eschatology soften the picture to the level of a bad-hair day, or a spooky earth tremor, or a threat of war or skirmish among the nations.
Withholding any part of the severity of the second coming is negligence and serious irresponsibility. The hard truths of scripture are not just a little litmus test to see if people are listening.
Former Major in Israel’s IDF, and founder and president of ‘Behold Israel’ Amir Tsarfati, is among the best eschatological teachers in the world today. Amir tells it all, he describes the seriousness of the events and withholds nothing.
We recently posted one of his short videos on the New American Prophet site, and to our surprise, other prophecy sites visited the video and republished.
After a half century of teaching this prophecy, it is beginning to take effect.
See: Understanding the Severity of the Tribulation – Amir Tsarfati
Amir speaks of the billions who will die, the destruction of cities and the grave circumstances that strike our unrepentant world.
We must as Paul Harvey used to say, ‘tell the rest of the story’ or we are indeed failing our very calling.
The Answer to the Subtitle Question – Yes, we are about to lose our heads with some AI and digital advances
The answer is simple, direct, and prophetic. There is a day ahead that promises that people who refuse to obey the Antichrist will be put to death in vast numbers. To wit:
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” (Rev 13:15)
“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.” (Rev 20:4)
But besides the ocean of sin men live in, we are also living in a sea of droll repetitiveness.
The writer of Ecclesiastes said it this way:
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” (Ec 1:9)
Without a clue to where it will lead, today people are starry eyed over the glittering promise of AI. Nations, leaders, scientists and geeks are all onboard.
Let’s cut to the chase, Antichrist could not keep running tabs on every man, woman and child on earth, without the using AI.
More than a clue – it is a wakeup call.
The scientific geniuses of our world are also the prophetic dummies of the planet.
For example, how many people are aware that one of the first and most powerful computers in the world, designed during the second world war, was used to ID, arrest, and slaughter millions of Jewish people.
The last computers will be engaged similarly, to ID, gather and behead the resistors of the Antichrist regardless of nationality or race.
So what have we learned.
When we were children, we referenced all the beasts of our world as ‘dumb animals,’ now that we are on the cusp of the end of the world as we know it, it is the computers that are dumb. And we tag behind following after our petted digital puppies to our own demise.
But until the last moment, while wisdom is dying, hope is not.
“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.” (Joel 2:32}

Are we about to lose our heads over AI, Tik Tok, and digital money – literally?
After, a half century of studies in eschatology, (Second coming of Christ) and a vision about the same, I have come to a few immutable conclusions.
The first, is that most of Christianity has come to the belief that we are in the very last days preceding the return of Christ.
The other, is that many are still bickering and contesting a few of the signs and the order in which they occur.
When we search for ‘trusted’ and ‘certified’ ministries we come upon another wall to scale.
The Pharisees in Jesus day were the ‘trusted’ interpreters of all scripture. Yet, Christ called them snakes, hypocrites and thieves. They were perfect as it pertains to the letter of the law, but they were dismal failures at interpreting the practical applications, the spiritual and the intuitive side of the law.
Little wonder that Jesus gave us a new way of approaching God called ‘grace.’
Because this is true, we should be forewarned that when it comes to second coming teachings, we must avoid the popular version, and trust only the scriptures and the Holy Spirit.
Like anything in life, some things can be nailed down while others require that we hold the views loosely in our hands so God can yank them out of our hand and make some revisions as time goes along.
The Jews argued the Messianic Prophecies (first coming of Christ) until thousands of the people missed the actual time of their Messiah and wallowed in endless arguments. We need not ask whether that could happen again – it is already here.
Even when we find ministries and preachers that are considered ‘trusted’ – there will always be some points we will not agree with.
Some disagreement is harmless, but some could be life endangering. An example of a harmless belief comes from the teachings of the late, Hal Lindsey. I loved his teachings and along with God’s prompting in my life Lindsey’s books were a strong impetus for my initial studies.
But right out of the gate I noticed a blaring mistake.
Lindsey began his “The Late Great Planet Earth’ by describing how a false prophet would have been stoned to death in ancient Israel, if his prophecies turned out to be false.
The truth found in both the scriptures and in the historical record show something quite different. In fact, almost all of the prophets that were killed were true prophets. A rebellious ancient Israel did not take well to the constant call to repentance. They hated the interference.
Stephan, the first martyr of the church said:
“Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers.” (Acts 7:52)
Ancient Israelites had a thing for false gods and religions, and that included hundreds of false prophets. False prophets were always relatively safe because, they gave the rulers what they wanted to hear.
But just as I know to remove the bones from the fish before eating, I knew Hal Lindsey’s work could be trusted by me and others.
Are we confusing the entire world with our endless rapture controversies?
Two verses of scripture are a rock-solid guarantee that God will remove all his believers in a millisecond. There will be no fanfare, preliminary warnings or mistaking what is taking place. The believer will know it, and the rest of the world will observe it on a worldwide scale.
The words are straight up and clear as a bell.
“Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left” (Mt 24:40)
“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (1Cor 15:52)
While the fact of the rapture is clear, the timing is not.
The largest group of Christian believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. That is a belief that before all the troubles begin at the arrival of Christ, he will get his own children out of the way.
The problem with this belief is that the man known as the Antichrist has a whole lot of his own troubles to cast on the entire world, including executions and death.
The second largest group of believers thinks that we will go through a lot of early troubles, but we will be removed midway through the last seven years of time. The midway point is when Antichrist does his final act and presents himself to be God in the newly rebuilt Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. This view is called the mid-tribulation Rapture.
“But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains.” (Mk 13:14)
The Antichrist will be standing in the middle of the Temple proclaiming his divinity and he continues on that path for the next 3 ½ years, that is what results in the judgment of God on the entire globe.
Finally, the smallest group are the post tribulationists. They think all the troubles; the scenarios and the death will have finished before Christ lifts his people out of the earth.
The post tribulation view has no chance of being accurate.
But the timing of the rapture still baffles theologians and preachers because it is hard to say just when the full wrath of God begins. It suffices to say that the worst of God’s judgment (wrath) begins at the blowing of the last trumpet which brings the dreaded seven vials of wrath to all humankind.
All these views are colored by another verse of scripture. In fact, it should always be used in conjunction with any rapture theory. Until we know the exact moment when God’s wrath begins, we cannot safely ascertain when the lifting away will happen.
Our confidence, is that God will not waste a single second of time, when he is about to judge this world – we will be gone, to wit:
“And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” (1 Th 1:10)
God does not drop death and hell on his own children, would you?
Why Do We Soften the Events of The Second Coming of Christ to Look Like a Bad Hair Day?
This writer has preached over five thousand sermons and written thousands of articles, mostly about the second coming of Jesus Christ. I noticed early on that people began to puzzle, squirm, and question the powerful planet busting judgments that come to the earth, during Christ’s active intervention with our planet.
Often teachers of eschatology soften the picture to the level of a bad-hair day, or a spooky earth tremor, or a threat of war or skirmish among the nations.
Withholding any part of the severity of the second coming is negligence and serious irresponsibility. The hard truths of scripture are not just a little litmus test to see if people are listening.
Former Major in Israel’s IDF, and founder and president of ‘Behold Israel’ Amir Tsarfati, is among the best eschatological teachers in the world today. Amir tells it all, he describes the seriousness of the events and withholds nothing.
We recently posted one of his short videos on the New American Prophet site, and to our surprise, other prophecy sites visited the video and republished.
After a half century of teaching this prophecy, it is beginning to take effect.
