Bible Prophecy Daily

Bob Hunt of Zion’s Hope Ministries in Winter Garden, FL bases today's teaching on Revelation 13:11-13. In this passage a second beast is introduced by John. The first beast (Revelation 13:1-10) is easy to identify: he is the Antichrist to come. We see in Daniel 7 a fourth beast who is the same figure as John’s first beast of Revelation. Thus, support outside of Revelation can be found for this first beast.

But who is this second beast?  We can search the Scriptures and it is hard to find any corresponding figure. But nonetheless this person plays a key role in Satan’s attempt to over throw the Lord as Supreme over the earth. This second beast will partner with the first beast and be driven by Satan to do his will. This second beast is also known as the False Prophet.

The False Prophet will proclaim a false doctrine and lead the earth into the worship of the first beast, The Antichrist. He will perform wondrous and amazing acts to validate the first beast's claim to power and authority over the world. Deception will be his greatest tool as he leads many away from the Lord. This session highlights the deceptive nature of the second beast.

Dr. Alan Kurschner offers the poignant reminder that it may be God’s will that you confront the Antichrist or his minions.

The vast majority of churches in America, including many ear-itching pretrib churches, are pleasing the will of their people by telling them what they want to hear, which is that they will never have to face the Antichrist.

Alan gives us good consideration why we need to beleive Jesus' comforting words, “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matt. 10:28)

Nelson Waters discusses the real reason Michael fought Satan for Moses’ body (see Jude 9). Moses was among the most amazing God-fearing men ever. But once he passed away, why did Satan want his dead body, and why did the Archangel Michael fight him for it? This has to be one of the most mysterious passages in the Bible. Why was that important to either Satan or Michael? And what does this have to do with the end times?

Michael Ufferman, staff teacher with Zion’s Hope, looks at the life of Jesus on Earth after His crucifixion, death, and burial; in other words, during His Post-Incarnate time on Earth.

In a future episode 8, Michael will conclude the series as he discusses the promised future manifestation of God through the person of the glorified Christ.

Charles Cooper continues his study of the timing of the rapture in the Book of Revelation. He argues that the location of the rapture in the Book of Revelation is notoriously difficult due to the absence of an explicit reference. Another complicating factor is the inability of scholars to agree on the structure of the book.

One cannot place the rapture in the book if he or she does not understand the structure. Before we look at the PreWrath timing of the ethereal reunion of the saints with her Lord, we will examine the structure of the Revelation.

Chapter 1 through chapter 11:15 is the first prophetic half of the book based on our understanding of Revelation 10.

Dr. Alan Kurschner talked about why Matthew 24:31 refers to the rapture. He first explained the situational context of Jesus's Olivet Discourse. What prompted Jesus's discourse? Then, he described the co-text (a term he explains) of verse 31. The focus is in the sky—Jesus is in the sky, not the earth. The surrounding text of verse 31 also describes a cause-and-effect action; that is, the angelic gathering causes the elect to meet Jesus in the sky. This can be none other than the rapture event. There are other reasons why Matthew 24:31 refers to the rapture that Dr. Kurschnner will cover in subsequent episodes. But in this particular program, he highlighted this cause-and-effect action.

Chris White continues his study about the beasts found in Daniel and Revelation, and how world empires are connected to these images.

The differences found in the Daniel and Revelation passages beg the question, "Are there three, two or one '7-Headed, 10-Horned Beast'"?

Marquis Laughlin shares the story of Christ’s first coming from the Scriptures. From the birth of John the Baptist, to the jealousy and rage of King Herod, the story of the arrival of the Messiah is the most amazing fulfillment of Bible prophecy to-date!

Discover how to use it as a powerful testimony to God’s sovereignty and the credibility of Bible prophecy.

Jake McCandless drops two Christmas Specials this month!  This is the first, in which Jake goes back to the First Advent and uses it as a case study of being found ready for the Second Advent, or Return of Christ. There’s a lot to learn from the very few who were ready for the Messiah’s appearing. Most all of the Lord’s own people missed it.

There’s no missing the return of Jesus, but there is the possibility of being found unfaithful and not ready.

Look back at the birth of Jesus, and those who were on the inside and ready, and learn how to be prepared for His second coming.
