Greater Israel Rising

Aug 14th, 2025 11:30 AM

In this episode, I examine Israel’s developing plan for a complete takeover of Gaza and its profound prophetic implications. As Prime Minister Netanyahu speaks of being on “a historic and spiritual mission” with a vision for Greater Israel, we’re witnessing events that may be setting the stage for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.I’ll show you how Zephaniah 2:4–7 describes Gaza’s ancient destruction and Israel’s restoration—a pattern that appears to be repeating today as a precursor to the ultimate day of the Lord. We’ll explore the fascinating possibility of Palestinian relocation to South Sudan, which is particularly significant since ancient Kush (modern Sudan) is specifically mentioned in Ezekiel chapter 38’s coalition against Israel.From the borders promised to Abraham in Genesis chapter 15 to the Millennial Kingdom’s Greater Israel, current events are aligning with Scripture in remarkable ways. While 71% of Republicans support Israel’s military action, only 8% of Democrats do—showing the growing global isolation that prophecy predicts. This isn’t just about current events; it’s about God’s prophetic timeline unfolding before our eyes.In this week's Q&A, I tackle three fascinating questions from subscribers. First, I address a thought-provoking hypothetical about what would have happened if the Jewish people had accepted Jesus as Messiah—would we already be past the Rapture and Millennium? I explore how God's omniscience means the prophetic timeline would have been compressed but still fulfilled. Next, I discuss a 1990 Liberty University professor's prediction about UFO disclosure before the Rapture, specifically addressing how demons could construct actual physical craft and how these “interdimensional” appearances could potentially explain the Rapture to a deceived world. Finally, I answer detailed questions about the Four Horsemen of Revelation chapter 6, including why we identify the white rider as the Antichrist, the timing of the Rapture in relation to the Seal Judgments, and where the seven-year covenant fits within this prophetic sequence.Support Tipping Point MinistriesTo help us produce more content like this please consider supporting Tipping Point!

Revelation 3:10: Kept From the Hour of Testing

Aug 11th, 2025 11:31 AM

In this final episode on the Rapture, I tackle one of the most hotly debated questions in Bible prophecy: When will the Rapture occur in relation to the Tribulation period? While all views agree that Church-Age believers are exempt from God’s wrath, the crucial question is when does that wrath begin?I’ll walk you through the four main timing views—pre-Tribulation, mid-Tribulation, post-Tribulation, and pre-wrath. Then I will focus on the key verse that I believe settles this debate: Revelation 3:10. Jesus promises the church at Philadelphia, “I will keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world.”Using a simple classroom analogy, I’ll show you the critical difference between being protected during the test versus being removed from the time of testing entirely. The Greek preposition ek (‘from’ or ‘out of’) and Christ’s promise “I am coming quickly” reveal exactly how He will fulfill this promise. This isn’t just about avoiding Tribulation—it’s about understanding that the purpose of the entire seven-year Tribulation. God has designed it to test “earth dwellers,” not the church.Support Tipping Point MinistriesTo help us produce more content like this please consider supporting Tipping Point!

Hidden Prophecies in Daniel

Aug 7th, 2025 11:30 AM

In this episode of Marking the End Times, I unveil some of the most fascinating hidden prophecies embedded within the familiar stories of Daniel. While most people read about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace or Daniel in the lion’s den as inspiring tales of faith and courage, I’ll show you the remarkable prophetic patterns woven throughout Daniel chapters 2–7.These chapters form what’s called a chiastic structure. That is a literary pattern where corresponding sections mirror each other, pointing toward deeper prophetic meaning. Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image that everyone must worship? That’s a precise foreshadowing of Revelation chapter 13 and the Antichrist’s image. Daniel’s faithfulness despite persecution? That’s a picture of the believing Jewish remnant protected during the Tribulation.I’ll then transition to Revelation chapter 13, which is the “Antichrist chapter” of the Bible. There, I’ll show how these ancient patterns find their ultimate fulfillment. Using seven key words beginning with “W,” I’ll give you a complete biography of the Beast, including why I believe he’ll actually die and return to life, and why he cannot be the Islamic Mahdi as some suggest.Support Tipping Point MinistriesTo help us produce more content like this please consider supporting Tipping Point!

Matthew 24: When Will These Things Be?

Aug 4th, 2025 11:31 AM

In today’s episode of Prophecy Perspectives, I take you through one of the most important prophetic passages in all of Scripture—Matthew 24, often called the “mini apocalypse” because it’s like a condensed version of the book of Revelation. This is Jesus’ magnificent sermon given on the Mount of Olives, so it is also often called “The Olivet Discourse.” Jesus delivers these words just two days before His crucifixion and answers His disciples’ crucial question about the signs of His coming and the end of the age.I’ll walk you through the chronological structure of this passage, showing how verses 4–14 describe the first half of the Tribulation, verse 15 marks the critical midpoint with the Abomination of Desolation, and verses 21–31 detail the Great Tribulation leading to Christ’s Glorious Return. You’ll discover why these signs parallel exactly with Revelation chapter 6’s Seal Judgments, and why what we see today are merely “Braxton Hicks contractions” compared to the true birth pangs coming during the Tribulation.This isn’t just ancient prophecy—it’s our roadmap for understanding where we are on God’s prophetic timeline and why the Rapture must be very soon.Support Tipping Point MinistriesTo help us produce more content like this please consider supporting Tipping Point!

The Final Hiding Place

Jul 31st, 2025 11:31 AM

In this episode, I take you on a journey to one of the most astounding places I’ve ever visited—the ancient rock city of Petra in southern Jordan. While most people know Petra from the famous Indiana Jones movie scene, this magnificent site plays a far more significant role in Bible prophecy than Hollywood could ever imagine.I believe Petra is the divinely prepared hiding place where God will supernaturally protect and provide for the believing Jewish remnant during the last half of the Tribulation period. Drawing from Revelation 12, Daniel 11, Isaiah 63, and other key passages, I’ll present four compelling biblical reasons why this “Rose City” fits perfectly as Israel’s end-times refuge.From its identification as the biblical “Bozrah” mentioned in Micah 2:12–13, to its military connections with Christ’s Second Coming campaign, to its political protection from the Antichrist’s control, and its perfect geographical location in the wilderness hills—every detail points to Petra as God’s prepared place. This isn’t just ancient history; it’s prophecy waiting to be fulfilled in our generation.In this week’s Q&A, I address several important questions. I clarify the distinction between Israel as the wife of Yahweh and the Church as the bride of Christ, explaining why these are two separate relationships rather than one. I also tackle questions about the intended audience of Jesus’ Olivet Discourse, particularly whether the parables of the ten virgins and other teachings apply to Israel or the Church, maintaining that the entire discourse focuses on Israel’s future. Finally, I discuss a recent Islamic claimant to be the Mahdi and why this particular individual has gained no legitimate traction, placing him in the context of the many false messiahs that will precede the real end-times events.Support Tipping Point MinistriesTo help us produce more content like this please consider supporting Tipping Point!
