At the end of this age, there will be the ultimate clash between light and darkness, good and evil, as we see in places like Isaiah 60. The light wins and the nations come to the light, not to the darkness. Our victory is inevitable if we will just abide in the Light.

     Because we are told not to be ignorant of the devil’s schemes, we need to understand the purpose of the darkness in these times and how it gains the authority for a time at the end. One of the basic characteristics about evil that we...

One of the ultimate problems facing Western civilization at this time is the entitlements that are pushing governments to the brink of insolvency. If they cut the entitlements, the people will riot. If they don’t cut them, virtually every Western government will eventually have to default on its debt, which will likely bring about a worldwide economic collapse. With almost every new crisis, we come closer to the point where there is not any remedy that can even buy us more time to find a solution. In every way, we are getting beyond human solutions, and the cliff we are...

I am often given trade and news journal subscriptions from groups that I sometimes cannot understand why they think I would have an interest in them, but nonetheless, I appreciate them reaching out.

When Joshua was leading Israel across the Jordon River to possess their Promised Land, an angel appeared to him. Joshua asked the angel if he were for them (Israel) or for their enemies, and he replied, “Neither, but I have come as the captain of the hosts of the Lord” (see Joshua 5:14). This may seem confusing since Israel was God’s people, and they were being led by God to possess the land He had promised them. Why would His captain not be on their side? Because the Lord is not coming to take sides—He’s coming to take over....
