Revelation does not treat history like it is drifting. It shows the Almighty stepping in on purpose to judge sin and bring the world to the point where His Son will reign openly. The seven trumpets are a big part of that. They make more sense when you remember how...
Daniel 9 gives us one of those places where the Bible forces us to deal with real history, real rulers, and a real timetable from God. Daniel’s prophecy of the seventy weeks in Daniel 9:24-27 ties Daniel’s burden for Jerusalem to God’s plan to deal with sin, bring...
Revelation 11 introduces two men God raises up to speak for Him in a dark time, and John describes them with a phrase that sounds strange until you trace it back through the Bible. In Revelation 11:3-4 they are called two witnesses, and also the two olive trees and...
Revelation is full of signs that are meant to be read carefully and in line with the rest of Scripture, not treated like a puzzle for the curious. One of the sharpest images in the trumpet judgments is a name that shows up fast and hits hard: Wormwood. In this...

Revelation is not written to entertain us with strange creatures. It is written to show us how the Almighty brings history to its appointed end, and how He draws a clean line between those who belong to Him and those who harden themselves against Him. One of the...
People get tangled up in end times teaching partly because they start in the middle. The New Testament starts with Jesus. Hebrews 1:1-2 sets the tone: God spoke in many ways in the past, but in these last days He has spoken in His Son. That sets the direction for...
