The Revelation Answer Book
I’m excited to share this conversation with my good friend Dr. Mark Hitchcock about his brand-new book, The Revelation Answer Book: 125 Common Questions People Ask About Earth’s Final Days. Mark is a brilliant theologian who teaches at Dallas Theological Seminary, but what I love about him is how he makes complex theology understandable for everyone. In this discussion, we walk through the entire Book of Revelation—from the Seven Churches to the New Heaven and New Earth. Mark explains the different views of Revelation, why the futurist view makes the most sense, and answers the toughest questions people ask about the Seal Judgments, Trumpet Judgments, Bowl Judgments, the 144,000, the Millennium, and so much more. This book releases October 21st and will be an incredible reference tool for anyone wanting to understand God’s prophetic timeline.

Trump's Plan: Will it Work?
There are many news stories, but there is only one story anyone in Israel is paying attention to today: U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for ending Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza. The biggest question here is: Will it bring the remaining hostages home? Every Israeli prays that it will. Every Israeli also knows the nature of Hamas, sworn to Israel’s destruction. Join me as I sit down with Dr. David Hazony, director and senior fellow at the Z3 Institute, to cut through the often malodorous haze of opinions and understand what’s actually happening. David analyzes why this plan’s front-loading of hostage release—within 72 hours—is crucial, and why for the first time, Hamas stands completely alone, with Qatar and Turkey backing the American plan. But does Hamas actually accept its defeat? We’ll explore that critical question together.Key FactsInterview: Dr. David Hazony, Z3 Institute Director | Twitter: @DavidHazonyPlan Highlights:* Hostages returned within 72 hours* Hamas disarmed, removed from governance* Board of Peace: Trump and Tony Blair* International Stabilization Force deployed* First time Hamas diplomatically isolatedKey Question: Has Hamas internalized its defeat?Join Us in the CAMPAIGN OF LIFE for IsraelTipping Point Ministries is raising funds for both ministry expansion and Israel’s emergency medical crisis. 50% supports Tipping Point’s prophetic outreach and teaching, while 50% goes directly to Magen David Adom—Israel’s national emergency service—after Iran’s attacks destroyed 20 ambulances worth $2.3 million.Your gift grows our ministry’s end-times voice while providing lifesaving ambulances, paramedic training, and medical supplies to Israel’s heroic first responders.As our thank you, we’re offering you a complete digital version of Jimmy Evans’ book, The Overcoming Life.

Revelation 19:11–16 — King of Kings on a White Horse
We’ve come to the classic biblical text on the Second Coming—Revelation 19:11–16. This is the final note of history, the crescendo of the ages, the grand consummation that all of humanity has been waiting for. Like Johann Sebastian Bach who couldn’t leave that final note unplayed, all of history is waiting for Jesus to strike this final note when He returns.What I want you to see here are three key characteristics of Christ’s return: He’s coming visibly—every eye will see Him on that white horse; He’s coming vengefully—in justice He judges and wages war against those gathered at Armageddon; and He’s coming victoriously—as King of kings and Lord of lords to establish His Kingdom. But here’s the best part—we’re coming with Him. Verse 14 says the armies of Heaven, dressed in fine linen white and clean, are following Him on white horses.This is a strong argument for the pre-Tribulation Rapture because we have to have gone to Heaven, been married to Him, and been rewarded by Him before we can return with Him. We don’t just have a one-way ticket to glory—we have a round-trip ticket.Key FactsBiblical Text: Revelation 19:11–16—the classic passage on Christ’s Second Coming to earthThree Characteristics: Visible (every eye will see), Vengeful (judges in justice), Victorious (King of kings)White Horse: Christ returns on white stallion, possibly literal celestial cavalryChrist’s Names: Faithful and True, Word of God, King of kings and Lord of lords, plus secret nameArmies of Heaven: Believers dressed in fine linen return with Christ (verse 14)Pre-Trib Argument: We return FROM heaven WITH Christ, meaning we were raptured before TribulationRapture vs Return: Different in signs, destination, and timing—two phases of one comingBach Illustration: Mark Hitchcock compares Christ’s return to final note that completes history’s symphonyRound Trip Ticket: Christians go up at Rapture, return down with Christ at Second ComingSupport Tipping Point MinistriesTo help us produce more content like this please consider supporting Tipping Point!

It traces God’s prophetic program from the Old Testament through the eternal state. What’s particularly noteworthy is how current events align with ancient predictions—Israel’s restoration, technological advances enabling global surveillance, and the geopolitical alignment of nations mentioned in Ezekiel 38–39.The timeline identifies key prophetic milestones: the Rapture preceding the Tribulation, the rise of Antichrist, the rebuilt Temple, and Christ’s Second Coming. While some debate the timing of particular events like the Gog-Magog War, the overall framework reflects solid Bible research. This resource serves as an excellent tool for both new believers seeking prophetic clarity and mature Christians desiring to understand their place in God’s unfolding plan.Personal Reflection & Group DiscussionFor our paid subscribers, we provide a set of personal reflection and group discussion questions.

Rest or Revenge: Trusting God's Promise of Justice
I know two things about all of you: you’ve been wronged by somebody--devastated, abused, rejected, lied about--and in many cases, you want revenge, which is completely natural but will eat you up inside and rob you of rest. God says in Romans 12 that vengeance belongs to Him alone, and He promises “I will repay.” This isn’t just a command, it’s a promise that God will deal with those who’ve hurt you far better than you ever could, whether through their repentance and reconciliation or through His perfect justice. The path to rest is to forgive them, bless them as Jesus commanded, pray for them even when it’s hard, and trust God’s promise. And what I’ve learned in my 72 years is that God is a master at keeping this promise, sometimes bringing people to tearful repentance, sometimes dealing with them in ways beyond anything I could have imagined, but always perfectly just.“Forgiveness doesn’t make them right. It just makes us free. Forgiveness doesn’t mean that they’re right. Forgiveness doesn’t mean it’s okay. Forgiveness doesn’t mean that they don’t need to get paid. It just means I’m trusting God with it. He promised me.” —Jimmy Evans Thank you for subscribing. Leave a comment or share this episode.
Daniel 9:27 and Trump’s 21-Point Peace Plan
The entire world right now is focused on the Middle East as President Trump has hammered out a 21-point peace agreement to end the Israel-Gaza war. World leaders are lauding this breakthrough, with eight major Arab and Islamic nations welcoming Trump’s leadership. This isn’t the Daniel 9:27 treaty. Why? Because the church is still here, there’s no seven-year timeframe, no rebuilt Temple, and Donald Trump is not the Antichrist. Still, I believe this agreement, along with the Abraham Accords, could be the framework for a future agreement that will be brokered by the Antichrist.What we’re witnessing is monumental stage setting. The ease with which world leaders have embraced this agreement shows us how quickly the Antichrist treaty will be accepted when it comes. The fact that we’re seeing these things that will happen after the Rapture already taking shape indicates that the Rapture could be extremely near.In the second half of today’s program, we continue our exposition of Revelation with the final verses of chapter 14—the first preview of Armageddon in the book of Revelation, including that famous passage about blood flowing for 184 miles.Key FactsCurrent Event: Trump’s 21-point peace plan for Israel-Gaza war supported by 8 major Arab/Islamic nationsGovernance Structure: New “Board of Peace” led by Trump and former UK PM Tony Blair to oversee GazaBiblical Connection: Dr. Hitchcock connects to Daniel 9:27 Antichrist treaty that begins TribulationWhy Not Daniel 9:27?
