The Curse Upon The Jews
“This is the story of a cursed generation, a people who invoked the blood of their Messiah and reaped the whirlwind. The destruction of Jerusalem was not just a tragedy; it was a testament. God's Word does not fail. His promises, His warnings—they are as unshakable as the heavens.”
The Tribulation Already Happened
"Tribulation was never meant to evoke futuristic panic or dystopian dread—it’s the historical reality of God’s justice, where suffering leads to deliverance and Christ’s Kingdom advances unshaken."
Wars, Earthquakes, and Famines (OH MY!)
Jesus didn’t give His disciples a casual prophecy. His words hit them like thunder: wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, and famines—all signs they would experience with their own eyes, ears, and trembling hearts. He was shaking them awake, warning them of a future that would upend everything they knew, a future they would live to see
The Whore, Jerusalem
The destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 was not just the end of an era; it was the severing of the old covenant, the final 'divorce' of a harlot bride. And yet, in that moment of devastation, the Church stood, cradled in the hands of the Holy Spirit, ready to grow and become the radiant bride Christ would one day return for.
False Messiahs and Anti-Christs
The manifest testimony of Scripture and history is that the first century Christians faced a proliferation of false messiahs and anti christs, who were the architects of the bloody uprisings, rebellions, and insurrections, which ultimately provoked Rome into all-out war. Jesus, in His perfection and wisdom, not only called it, but He accurately prophesied the very engine that God would use to fuel the Roman’s battering rams: The rise of false messiahs.
The DOOM of Jerusalem
The destruction of Jerusalem wasn’t just a historical event—it was a divine judgment against an apostate nation, marking the end of the Old Covenant and the dawn of Christ’s New Covenant Kingdom.
REVELATION: An Olivet Introduction
Instead of approaching Revelation from the deluded posture of the futurists, we will see how this book is not a psychedelic vision of our twenty-first century present, but a visionary depiction of the end of the Old Covenant that occurred nearly two thousand years ago in Jerusalem’s past.
When Will The Reign Of Christ End?
“He must reign until all brothels are closed and marriage is esteemed. He must reign until the media stops peddling lies and division and would be willing to end each broadcast with The Lord’s Prayer or the Apostle’s Creed. He must reign until there are no ghettos in Chicago, there is no swamp in Washington, and there is no depravity in Hollywood. He must reign until child is catechized and every family on earth comes under His Lordship and covenant blessings.”

An Eschatology Of Pentecost (End Times Series Part 26)
Eschatology concerns future events, but those events are the minority. More accurately, eschatology is the theological discipline that examines how all the promises of God, from salvation and redemption to His worldwide Kingdom, will come to fruition under the end-time rule and reign of His Son. Join us as we examine how the events of Pentecost are inherently eschatological.
Eschatological Fried Pickles (End Times Series Part 25)
“Like we said last week, don't just stand there. Do something. And repent of any dispensational defeatism. Understand that the theology we covered this week will have tremendous theological and practical importance for how you will live your life. And when you have done all this, go live with all your heart to the glory of Christ. Build His Kingdom while you are here. And when you are ready to die, hand off your hammer to the next man.“
Don’t Just Do Something… Stand There!
“If the Church of our Lord has any hope of recovering from her slothfulness and shallow, easy believism, then we must immediately discard the hemlock of dispensationalism and adopt a more Biblical view. “
