Zechariah 14:1–9 —The King's Return

I want to share with you today one of the most remarkable truths in all of Scripture—the absolute certainty of Jesus Christ's return to this earth. There's nothing more clearly stated in the Bible than this fact. I give you ten biblical statistics that prove this: 1,845 references to Christ's return, mentioned in 23 of 27 New Testament books, eight times more references than His first coming. But today we're focusing on Zechariah chapter 14, one of the clearest Old Testament passages about the Second Coming.Picture this: while the campaign of Armageddon rages and Jerusalem is under siege, Jesus will return and make what my friend Harold Wilmington called "a perfect two-point landing" on the Mount of Olives. The mountain will split in half, creating a great valley. Living waters will flow to both seas. And here's the culminating truth—"The Lord will be King over the whole earth." I don't know about you, but I'm tired of hearing God's name blasphemed. Someday He's coming back to rule and reign, and His name will be the only name.Key FactsMain Scripture: Zechariah 14:1–9 describes Jesus Christ's literal, physical return to earthKey Event: Christ's feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, causing it to split from east to westBiblical Statistics: Jesus' return mentioned 1,845 times in Bible (1,527 OT, 318 NT); 8 times more than first comingTiming: Second Coming occurs during the Battle of Armageddon when Jerusalem is under siegeParticipants: Jesus returns with holy angels and raptured saints (the Bride of Christ)Geographic Changes: Mount of Olives splits, creating valley; living waters flow to Dead Sea and MediterraneanKingdom Establishment: Christ becomes King over whole earth, establishing Millennial ReignDistinction: Second Coming (return to earth with the saints) differs from Rapture (coming for the saints)Support Tipping Point MinistriesTo help us produce more content like this please consider supporting Tipping Point!

The Grace to Change

This week I want to encourage you by discussing Romans 7 & 8. I walk you through the difference of grace and condemnation. I also explain the importance of the Holy Spirit.By the way, anytime that you feel condemned, that's not Jesus. That's not God. That's the devil. He's trying to condemn you to keep you away from God because that's what condemnation does is it causes us to feel like we're not worthy. And we're not worthy of ourselves. And here's the question. Why is there no condemnation in Christ Jesus? —Jimmy Evans Thank you for subscribing. Leave a comment or share this episode.

When Wickedness Increases

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s shocking assassination at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, we need biblical clarity about what’s happening in our world and what’s coming next. This exposition of Revelation 14:6–13 reveals four crucial prophetic snapshots that prepare us for the future: the eternal gospel proclaimed worldwide, the fall of Babylon, the sobering reality of Eternal Judgment, and the blessed hope of Heaven for believers.Charlie Kirk’s murder by Tyler Robinson demonstrates the reality that lawlessness is increasing and wickedness is surging, just as Jesus predicted in the birth pangs of His return. When conservative voices face assassination for speaking biblical truth, we see how close we may be to the Tribulation period. We are witnessing the rise of what I call “grave dancers” celebrating political violence. This shows our culture’s moral decay.We’re called to be “as bold as lions” in these evil days, standing firm for Christ, His Word, and biblical righteousness just as Charlie Kirk did with Turning Point USA. Like the 54th Regiment soldiers in “Glory,” may it be said that we “went down standing up.” While spiritual warfare intensifies, our hope in Christ’s imminent return remains certain and our eternal reward is secure.Key FactsEvent Details: Charlie Kirk assassinated September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University by Tyler RobinsonBiblical Context: Mark Hitchcock connects this to Revelation 14:6–13 and Jesus’ prophecy about increasing lawlessness in the last daysMain Message: Christians must stand courageously for biblical truth even when it becomes dangerous, following Charlie Kirk’s example of bold faithProphetic Significance: The assassination demonstrates the birth pangs of Christ’s return and the moral decay preceding The tribulation periodSupport Tipping Point MinistriesTo help us produce more content like this please consider supporting Tipping Point!

Israel’s Central Role

This powerful conversation with messianic pastor Dr. Richard Hill reveals why Israel is absolutely central to understanding Bible prophecy and our blessed hope of the Rapture. As we approach the Feast of Trumpets next week, we explore the incredible connection between this mysterious feast and the Rapture of the Church. Dr. Hill explains why the "last trump" mentioned in Scripture isn't from the book of Revelation, but rather from the final shofar blast of Rosh Hashanah—the Feast of Trumpets.We dive deep into why replacement theology is so dangerous and how God's Covenant with Israel remains unbroken, even through their current season of discipline. You'll discover the prophetic significance of Israel's regathering, the coming Gog and Magog War, and why a pre-Tribulation Rapture makes perfect biblical sense. This isn't just academic study—it's about understanding God's heart for His Chosen People and living with confident expectation of Christ's imminent return. Israel truly is the key that unlocks our understanding of end-times prophecy.Hope Restored in Iranian HouseholdsWhile Iran's government oppresses its people, God is stirring the largest revival in the world there through Iran Alive Ministries—and He's calling us to join them in reaching hearts hungry for the gospel.This month, our goal is to raise $25,000 to support Iran Alive Ministries’ critical work of:* Broadcasting the gospel 24/7 via satellite television to reach millions* Training over 3,300 students in their underground discipleship school* Providing biblical marriage materials to transform oppressive relationships* Supporting 24/7 prayer counselors for new believers facing persecutionWith your gift of any amount—$25, $100, $250, or more—you’ll directly support this incredible move of God in Iran.

What practical steps can you take to live with greater expectancy?* Dr. Hill explained that hatred toward Jewish people is a major end-times sign rooted in Satan's war against God. How can you personally stand with Israel and the Jewish people in prayer and support during these challenging times?* The discussion revealed that almost one-third of the Bible deals with prophecy, yet many believers today avoid studying it. What has kept you from diving deeper into prophetic study, and how might you overcome those barriers?* Reflecting on the concept that Israel is "the key that unlocks our understanding of End Times," how has your view of Israel's role in God's plan evolved? What areas need more study in your spiritual walk?Small Group Discussion* Dr. Hill argues that without a pre-Tribulation Rapture, there would be no human believers left on earth to enter the Millennial Kingdom. How does this perspective strengthen or challenge your understanding of Rapture timing? What other biblical evidence supports this view?* The conversation highlights the dangerous rise of replacement theology. How can our group better understand and defend the truth that God's covenant with Israel remains intact? What practical ways can we support Israel in our community?* Discuss the connection between the Feast of Trumpets (Rapture) and Yom Kippur (Israel's national salvation). How does this seven-year gap between the feasts align with the seven-year Tribulation period? What does this reveal about God's perfect timing?* Dr. Hill believes the Gog and Magog War will precede the Rapture and set up conditions for the Tribulation period. How do current world events align with this prophecy? What should our response be as we see these things developing?* The discussion emphasizes that studying prophecy helps us "learn about Jesus" since "prophecy is the spirit of Jesus." How has studying end-times prophecy deepened your relationship with Christ? Share specific examples of how prophetic hope has encouraged you during difficult seasons. Thank you for subscribing.

Abu, Ali, and Netanyahu

What an extraordinary opportunity we've been given to witness Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an unguarded moment. Through the lens of Abu Ali Express, a somewhat mysterious figure behind a popular Telegram channel, we see Netanyahu speaking with remarkable candor about the most pressing issues facing Israel today. This isn't the polished, media-trained politician we're accustomed to seeing in formal interviews or speeches. Instead, we observe his genuine expressions, hear the passion in his voice, and witness his unscripted responses to the very questions we ourselves would ask.From Gaza's ongoing challenges to Iran's persistent threats, from the hostage crisis to potential normalization with Saudi Arabia, Netanyahu addresses each topic with the kind of authenticity rarely captured in mainstream media. His discussion of Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, rising global antisemitism, and Israel's military operations provides invaluable insight into his thinking as a leader navigating unprecedented challenges. This interview offers us a unique window into the mind and character of one of the world's most consequential leaders during these pivotal times.Hope Restored in Iranian HouseholdsWhile Iran's government oppresses its people, God is stirring the largest revival in the world there through Iran Alive Ministries—and He's calling us to join them in reaching hearts hungry for the gospel.With your gift of any amount—$25, $100, $250, or more—you’ll directly support this incredible move of God in Iran.
