In 2016, Trump earned 81 percent of the white evangelical vote—a higher percentage than George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, or John McCain—and he appears to have earned nearly as much of that vote in 2020. And the most recent data indicates that end-times ideas still shape the beliefs of a majority of evangelicals.

A biblical scholar said the new coronavirus outbreak is a precursor to End Times prophecies, warning that the pandemic is a “very serious foreshadowing” of what’s to come. That’s why we view every news story through the lens of faith. We are committed to delivering quality independent Christian journalism you can trust.

We have witnessed the rise of many in the last few decades, especially those with the label, "Made in America," like Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Christian Science, and others.

Any person or organization which purports to be Christian in its outward aspects, but whose message is actually opposed to Christian faith is an antichrist. So is the current coronavirus pandemic a sign of the rapture? No, because the rapture is a sign-less, imminent event with no warning.

The numbers, symbols, and word pictures John used held political and religious significance to believers in Asia Minor. These followers were familiar with the Old Testament prophetic writings of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and other Jewish texts.

It was a beautiful song, and he was crying because of the tender exchange taking place between him and the Lord. In the dreams my thoughts were, This is new like the Beatles music was new. When the Beatles appeared in the sixties it was a new sound and it took the world by storm. Whenever one of their songs came on, you would automatically turn it up; it had a special quality that caught your ear - it turned your head.
But let's be honest, if you're looking at this list, you're probably more interested in selecting one of these titles for yourself! Notice that the Rapture does not restart God's prophetic clock. Jesus Christ lived his entire life in the Shadow of the Cross. He came to die on that cross for the sins of Israel and for the sins of the entire world. This is one of the prophecies in the Bible of the death of Jesus Christ. Of course, most of Israel was blinded to it all, as many are blinded to how God is working today as well.

Like so many Christians who came before him, Camping was possessed by the idea of predicting the end of the world, and talked ceaselessly about it on his radio show at Family Radio Network, of which he was president. Listeners contributed to what became a $100 million campaign to convince the world of the May 21 judgment day , when Jesus would take all his believers to heaven.

Brown told me pastors have reached out to him asking how to handle the fallout in their congregations.

The emerging rift mirrors the one in the GOP, with one faction trying to move on from Trump in the name of democratic principles, and the other redoubling their commitment to him, spurred by the grassroots and in defiance of facts.

The Apostle John has a vision while in exile in Patmos for the testimony of Jesus. He's instructed to take careful notes and send what he learns to the churches in the Roman provinces of Asia Minor, now western Turkey. John writes to encourage them to stand firm so that instead of being overwhelmed, they will be an overcoming community. end-times message Christians believe history is working relentlessly and inexorably toward the consummation of God's eternal purposes. These purposes will be brought to pass at the glorious triumphant return of the risen Lord Jesus Christ. It should generate an exhilarating hope and confidence because we know the end of the story and we know who wins.
