What is the Great Tribulation like?  In addition to captivity and scattering during the Babylonian Captivity (which is a type of the Great Tribulation), we find that killing of some of the people of Judah also occurred. In Ezekiel 14:12-23, we find a prophecy regarding the desolation of the land of Judah by the four sore judgments of famine, evil beasts, sword and pestilence. This prophecy warns that even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in the land, God would still cut-off man and beast due to the wickedness of the people (Eze 14:14, 16, 18, 20). These four sore judgments have a symbolic meaning that is applicable in the Great Tribulation, which is typified by the Babylonian Captivity. Please view the video below or consider the study that that is contained on this link.

The scattering of the people of Judah during the Babylonian Captivity serves as an important portrait of what will happen to God’s people during the Great Tribulation.  Prior to salvation, God’s elect are considered as scattered sheep that will be regathered by Jesus Christ once they are saved in the spirit (born again / given a new spirit).  However, God’s people can be scattered during the church age due to persecution that occurs within the church.  This scattering is highly pronounced during the Great Tribulation, when there is a great scattering of God’s people as they are persecuted and search for truth in the end-time false Christian church, called Babylon (Rev 17-18).  Please consider viewing the below video or click here to learn more about the symbolic meaning of scattering in the Bible.  We all await that final day when there will be a final regathering of God’s people to be with Jesus Christ in the new heavens and the new earth.

The Babylonian Captivity was that time of persecution, captivity and scattering that happened to Judah.  This time period is also a type of the Great Tribulation that occurs just prior to the return of Christ.  The causes of the Babylonian Captivity are already evident in the churches today.  Therefore, it is important to study and understand what the Babylonian Captivity is and why it occurred.  Please consider viewing this video below.  Also, there is a compilation of Bible verses that list the causes of the Babylonian captivity on this website.

When the Babylonian Captivity of Judah is carefully compared to the Olivet Discourse of Mat 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, we can find that the Babylonian Captivity is referred to as a type of the Great Tribulation.  The significance of this is immense.  Since the Babylonian Captivity is a type of the impending Great Tribulation soon to occur, this suggests the urgency of carefully studying the Old Testament prophets diligently.  About 25% of the Old Testament addresses (in one form or another) the Babylonian Captivity or the aftermath of this captivity.  Please consider the You Tube video below or visit the Babylonian Captivity section of this website.  As we know the impending Great Tribulation will usher in the glorious day of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ!!

It is very important is to carefully consider the Babylonian Captivity of the Old Testament.  Many that are interested in prophecy (pre-millennialists) believe that the Babylonian Captivity is just an historical event.  They believe that it applies to Old Testament Israel only and that it does not directly impact the church today.  However, when this topic is examined from a Biblical viewpoint that recognizes that the millennium (1000 years) of Rev 20 is a symbol for the church age, then the Babylonian Captivity can also be seen as a type of the end-time Great Tribulation.  Just as the Babylonian Captivity affected Israel / Judah of the Old Testament, so too will a Babylonian Captivity affect the church during the Great Tribulation (see Luke 21:24, Rev 17-18).  Realizing this unlocks tremendous spiritual truth of the Old Testament prophets that is directly applicable to the church of the Great Tribulation.   Please consider following this video series on You Tube.  Please click on the link below to view Part 1 of the video series:

Christian politics is a strong factor in election outcomes and the shaping of politics in the world today.  To what extent should a Christian be involved in politics?  Should a Christian Vote?  If so, how should a Christian decide to vote?  Let us turn to the Bible to find answers to these questions.  In the video below, we will find that Christian politics is dubious at best.  Christians are a holy nation and servants to the King, Jesus Christ.  Christians are to focus their efforts on the kingdom of heaven as ambassadors for Christ. Also, please consider reviewing the Bible study on Christian Politics found on this website.

This ministry serves to exalt Jesus Christ and His three-fold ministry of being a Prophet, Priest and King.  The title ‘Christ’ means the ‘Anointed One’, which has the same meaning as the title ‘Messiah’ used in the Old Testament.  Therefore, both Christ and Messiah refer to the Anointed One, or literally, the ‘one who is rubbed with oil’.  In the Old Testament, the Bible teaches that those who held the offices of Prophet, Priest and King were anointed with oil when they entered into their offices.  Similarly, Jesus functions as His people’s Prophet, Priest and King.  The Prophetic office of Christ signifies that Jesus is the Word of God.  The Priestly office refers to His work of saving His chosen people by being their sacrifice.  As a King, His people will earnestly desire to serve and obey Him in righteousness (holiness).  Click here to learn more about what ‘Christ’ means.

This is a teaching ministry with an emphasis on Jesus as the Christ (Messiah).  The offensive truths of the Bible are presented.  These offensive truths include: 1) the true Gospel that salvation in only by the elective, gracious work of God, 2) the truth that a Christian’s life will be evidenced by holiness and 3) the Biblical teaching of the End Times including the truth that Babylon of Revelation 17-18 refers to the organized, apostate Christian religion during the End Times.  This ministry focuses on teaching the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27) and as such, addresses doctrines that may be viewed as some as ‘offensive’. However, the Word of God is also full of hope and beauty and brings salvation to His chosen people.
