Ezekiel made a point of singling out “the Travelers” in his prophecy of the war of Gog and Magog. This week, we explain why and identify where the army of Gog will fall.

The entity called Lucifer may not be who we think he is.

We continue our discussion of the Day of the Lord in Isaiah with a look at the king of Babylon in Isaiah 13 and 14. We explain why Babylon may not mean the city made famous by Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar, and why Lucifer, a translation of the Hebrew Helen Ben Shachar (“Lightbringer son of Dawn”) may actually be the rebel Watcher chief Shemihazah—better known to us as Saturn.

Eclipses have been interpreted as a bad omen throughout history. In recent years, so-called “blood moons” have been taken as a sign of the imminent Apocalypse.

We explore the Bible’s references to darkness during the Day of the Lord, the time during the Great Tribulation when God unleashes His wrath on an unrepentant world. (Don’t let the next lunar eclipse spook you. A lot of things have to happen before we get there. Besides, the sun has to go dark at the same time.)

Isaiah prophesied a terrifying scenario for the Day of the Lord, when God finally executes His judgment on an unrepentant world.

Many Bible teachers interpret Isaiah 13:3–10 as referring to Nebuchadnezzar and the Chaldeans of Babylon, who would destroy the Temple in 586 BC, more than a century after Isaiah’s prophecy. We explain why we believe this is also an unfulfilled prophecy of a supernatural army that will ravage the earth in the last days.

Our study of the Day of the Lord continues in Isaiah 2 with a look at an entity known to the Hebrew prophets, Pachad—a name that’s translated into English as “terror.”

We discuss Pachad, his role in history and in God’s plan for the end times, and other entities like him that have been buried in our English Bibles under words like “hail,” “plague,” “pestilence,” and “thunderbolts.”

We begin a study of the prophesied Day of the Lord with the Isaiah, who had more to say about the day of God’s final judgment than any of the Hebrew prophets.

This week, we show how Isaiah coined a term usually translated into English as “idols,” but it’s derived from the name of the chief god of Mesopotamia, Enlil.

The prophet Amos warned the leaders of Israel not to desire the prophesied Day of the Lord because “it is darkness, and not light”—especially since Israel had begun to worship Sikkuth (the Mesopotamian god Ninurta) and “Kiyyun your star-god”, both represented in the sky by Saturn.

The “shepherd prophet” Amos had a warning for the northern kingdom of Israel: Be careful of what you wish for, especially when it’s God’s judgment.

The resurrection of the Two Witnesses 3-1/2 years into the seven-year Tribulation is followed by the sounding of the seventh trumpet, heralding the restoration of God’s kingdom on earth.

Revelation 11:15 inspired George Frideric Handel to compose “The Hallelujah Chorus.” Derek gets emotional, and Sharon notes the parallels between Rev. 11:18 and Psalm 2:1–6—God’s response to the vain plots of the kings of the earth.

After three and a half years of tormenting the world with the gospel, the Beast is allowed to kill the two witnesses. But they don’t stay dead long.

We discuss the significance of the 3-1/2 days the witnesses lie in the street, the earthquake that accompanies their resurrection, and why those who survive the quake give glory to God.
