Nero Caesar, Adolf Hitler, numerous Catholic popes, members of the British monarchy, Martin Luther, Henry Kissinger, Aleister Crowley, Mikhail Gorbachev, and several recent US presidents; what do these have in common? They have all been accused of being the Antichrist, the end times emperor who is said to come in the last days to take over the world and persecute the people of God (unless, of course, they’ve already been raptured up!) But what does the Bible really teach about the Antichrist? Who is the Antichrist? When I first began pulling together the curriculum for the Prophecy Course Bible study, I knew one of the lessons would be on the Antichrist, tribulation, the mark of the beast (666); all of it. I was naïve enough to believe this could all be accomplished in one half-hour lesson! As I began to study the Antichrist, I got way more than I bargained for. I gathered all the scriptures people use to make their case for our biblical boogeyman. That included: • Paul’s man of lawlessness of 2 Thessalonians 2, • The one who makes a covenant with many of Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy, • John’s beast of Revelation, • The foolish shepherd in Zechariah 11, and finally, • John’s antichrists. Yet, as I researched these passages, I found these scriptures speak of different events. Are all these characters one and the same? No, absolutely not. But the question, "Who is antichrist?" remains. “Antichristos,” occurring only in the Johannine epistles—specifically first and second John—refers to a group forwarding false doctrine, specifically “denying that Christ has come in the flesh.” In Revelation, John never once uses the term to describe the beast that arises from the sea, and he certainly would have if these were the same character. Further study of the “beast” shows us both Daniel and John use the term to describe reprobate nations, their kings and the fallen angelic forces driving them. Prophecy Course.

In Revelation 13, we see a terrible beast rising out of the sea with seven heads and ten horns. This beast receives worship, blasphemes God and wages war against the saints of the Lamb for 42 months. Who is this beast? And is the beast of Revelation past, present or in our near future? In this lesson, we’ll wrestle with questions like, “Who is the beast of Revelation?”, “When will the beast of Revelation war against the saints?” and “What does the number of the beast, 666, mean?” Our answers begin in Daniel 7. Who is the Beast of Revelation? To determine who John’s beast of Revelation is, we need to look back to the prophet Daniel; he saw the same beast about 600 years before John! In Daniel 7, while in his Babylonian captivity (“During the first year of king Belshazzar’s reign,” around 556 BC), the prophet Daniel dreams of four great beasts emerging from the sea. In verse 17, an angel interprets the dream for Daniel; these four beasts represent four kings and their kingdoms. Since the Jews likened their nation to the earth (having been separated from the sea) and their patriarchal priesthood their guiding lights (think sun, moon and stars), kings and kingdoms rising from the sea indicates these are Gentile kingdoms. In this lesson, we’ll look behind the material to see the ethereal and get a better understanding of the beast of Revelation. Prophecy Course. Bible prophecy made clear.

Welcome to Part 2 of the Olivet Discourse! In Part 1, we opened with Jesus exiting the Temple with His disciples and stopping on the Mount of Olives to prophesy the end of the Old Covenant age and the Jewish religious order. Here in Part 2, we continue His heated declaration of judgment over unbelieving Israel. In this lesson, we continue our exploration of the day of the Lord, His gathering of the elect, this generation, the passing away of heaven and earth and the end of the age. Prophecy Course.

Who is the man of lawlessness of 2 Thessalonians 2? And who is his restrainer? The man of sin, that son of perdition, often finds himself in an Antichrist mashup, used to color a shadowy world leader who is said to rise and take over the world in the last days. Who is the Man of Lawlessness (Son of Perdition)? The only place we see the “man of lawlessness” title in Scripture is in 2 Thessalonians 2. Writing in the early 50’s AD, Paul shifts from discussing Christ’s return on the last day (sometimes called Judgment Day, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-12) and now addresses a more immediate concern for the young church in Thessalonica. Time is running out: 20 years have passed since Jesus sat upon the Mount of Olives and predicted a time of terrible tribulation. In this lesson, we’ll take a closer look at the man of sin and identify a few candidates. Prophecy Course. Bible prophecy made clear.

Jesus is enraged. Standing in the Temple, He has just launched at the Jewish religious leaders, calling them out as blind hypocrites, white-washed tombs and a brood of vipers (Matthew 23). In Ezekiel 11:22-23, we saw the glory of the Father leave the Temple through the East Gate and settle upon the Mount of Olives before departing. Israel’s Babylonian exile soon followed. Now we see the Son of man leave the Temple through the East Gate and settle upon Mt. Olivet as He warns His followers and declares judgment over unbelieving Israel again.

This may come as a surprise, but not everyone agrees on the meanings behind certain tough-to-grasp Bible passages. Shocking, right?! Ever since the first century, that disagreement has been the source of much debate. In this lesson, we establish a basic understanding of the common prophetic views—the lenses around biblical prophecy including covenant theology, dispensationalism, futurism, preterism, historicism and idealism. We’ll also make the argument for avoiding the labels that often accompany these views. Finally, I have a little surprise for you at the end. (So exciting!) Prophecy Course. Bible prophecy made clear.

Admittedly, the resurrection of the dead can be a hard doctrine to swallow. For many, the closest cultural images of resurrection are a collection of competing near death experiences (NDEs; resuscitations, really), a handful of bad B-movie horror flicks, some fallen TV shows and a dark music video from the early 1980’s. But what does the Bible teach us about the resurrection of the body? When will the resurrection take place? What is this rapture we keep hearing about? And when will the rapture happen? We tackle these questions and more in this lesson of the Prophecy Course. Prophecy Course. Bible prophecy made clear.

Daniel's 70-week prophecy (Daniel 9:24-27) has been said to be the most spectacular and most exacting prophecy in all of Scripture, foretelling the Messiah's arrival, death and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD with amazing accuracy. Imagine being visited by an angel and receiving a promise foretelling a future king who would liberate your people and usher in an entirely new kingdom—a new way of life—free from the crushing burden of sin, shame and guilt. Amazing! But then this promise turns dark, tainted by war, desolation and the end of all you’ve ever known.

What is the day of the Lord? The day of the Lord is a term often misused to point at the last day of history, the day when the Lord Jesus comes again to wrap everything up and judge the living and the dead. But is that truly what the “day of the Lord” means? In this lesson, we put proper context around this Jewish expression. There is a common notion that the day of the Lord is the same as the day of Christ, when Jesus returns to earth at the end of days, but we are mistaken if we think there is only one day of the Lord. The “day of the Lord” is a poetic Jewish idiom for expressing a cosmic “lights out” from God. Always expressed in the form of an invading army released by God Himself, the day of the Lord is judgment from above by sword below. God’s wrath is coming for you and there is nowhere to hide. Now, I just have to prove it to you. So, let us establish the truth out of the mouths of two or three witnesses. Buckle up, campers; there is a lot of Scripture here! Prophecy Course.

What do UFO cults, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christopher Columbus, NASA rocket scientists, Martin Luther, Catholic popes, practically all of Europe and today's Church all have in common? Answer: They have all predicted—and utterly missed—dates for Jesus' return and the end of the world. And the last days madness continues! These days, people are making end of the world predictions like there's no tomorrow! When it comes to biblical prophecy, there's no shortage of bad teaching! Here is just a handful of people who have been woefully wrong about their end-times projections. May this hall of shame humble us all.

Though the news report doesn’t say which Scripture the Pope was using, it does say the passage was by Paul. 🔹 See the full article: Vatican Shrinks from Jewish Inquiry, Denies Jesus as Their Messiah https://levaire.com/vatican-shrinks-from-jewish-inquiry-denies-jesus-as-their-messiah/ // TAKE-AWAYS FROM THIS LESSON The Vatican missed a worldwide opportunity to point out the truth of the Jewish Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, to our Jewish brothers and sisters.

THE ROMANS ROAD: THE Gospel of Jesus Christ as Found in the Book of Romans What is the Romans Road? The Romans Road (sometimes referred to as the Romans Road to salvation) is a way of using only the book of Romans in the New Testament to explain 1) our need for salvation and 2) God's answer to that problem through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Romans Road can be a great tool for evangelizing unbelieving truth seekers. Sometimes, young or immature believers can struggle with their faith, especially after succumbing to temptation. They may ask, "How do I know if I'm saved?" The Romans Road to salvation can be helpful in reassuring them of their salvation. Share the Romans Road with a loved one today! This version of the Romans Road uses more verses than is necessary to lead someone in an understanding of salvation. For instance, you may not need to cover both Romans 3:10 and Romans 3:23 when simply starting with Romans 3:23 would suffice. Romans 10:10 could also be considered to be repetitive. In this video the Scriptures used are as follows: • None are righteous, no, not one. (Romans 3:10) • All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) • But God shows His love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) • The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23) • There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1) • If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9) • For with the heart one believes and is justified and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. (Romans 10:10) • Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:11, 13) Call on Him today!

I found this music while rummaging for a different project months back. I really liked the tune but had no idea what I would do with it. Why not try to explain the Gospel in 60 seconds? This video "The Gospel in One Minute" is totally experimental. Please comment and let me know what you think! Matthew P.S. Words flying by too fast? Below is the full script: In the beginning a perfect world. Sin through self-will; Rebellion brings decay, disease, death. Covenants made; covenants broken. The shadow of law and sacrifice teach the need for holiness and atonement. Creation apart from its Creator self-destructs. Prophets warn of judgment pointing to a perfect sacrifice to end all sacrifice. Through a future deliverer; king of Judah; root of Jesse; son of David; promised one; Messiah. Then… [silence] A child born in Bethlehem. A cry in the desert, "Make straight the way of the Lord!" 12 chosen Power Authority Compassion. Lame walk; Sick healed; Blind see; Dead raised; Captives freed. Kingdom of God established. Cornerstone rejected New covenant Sheep scattered "Crucify Him!" Love nailed to a [Roman cross] It is finished! Third day He rose. Peace be with you. Go. Baptize all nations in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He ascended to heaven. He sits at the Father's right hand. Pentecost. Holy Spirit descends; Fire + wind 3,000 added. Day of the Lord judgment. He will return to judge the living + dead. Kingdom without end.
