Future Headlines, People Will Be Lovers of Themselves

Future or Current Headlines? End of the age prophecy doesn’t only foretell geopolitics. It doesn’t just tell about the future of Israel and the rise of the Antichrist.

Parents, Build the Ark

Noah’s Ark God told Noah to build an ark. Even though it hadn’t rained, nor had it flooded, God instructed Noah build this ark thing. Contrary to what we assume, the Bible doesn’t tell us exactly how long before the flood Noah began the work. Genesis 6 gives a timeframe of 120 years, but it

Future Headlines – Jews Return to the Land of Israel

This series is on prophecies that tell us future headlines. These are events that will happen, well, except for this event. This isn’t a future headline—but it was. Let me say that again. Isn’t this incredible? The headline of “Jews Return to the Land of Israel” is no longer a future headline as Lisa wrote

We’ve presented Heaven and the age to come in a way that doesn’t even appeal to them, it’s just better than the alternative. That’s an absolute
