Every autumn, after the solemn fasting of Yom Kippur and before the joyous week of Sukkot, five ordinary days slip by on the Jewish calendar: Tishri 11 through Tishri 15. In synagogue life they are simply the days when families scramble to finish building their sukkah, buy the citron and palm branch, and sweep the Read more

What happens if you get left behind after the rapture? According to Jewish traditions, you will have 10 days to repent and turn to Christ, or the chances of you surviving the wrath of God are next to zero. The Days of Awe (Yamim Noraim), also known as the Ten Days of Repentance (Aseret Yemei Read more

The Bible, interpreted literally and judged only by its own plain text, demands that the literal 1,000-year reign of Christ on earth begin on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot, Tishri 15). This is not a possibility among several options—it is a necessary conclusion when the following biblical facts are taken at Read more

What Happens to Tribulation Survivors When Christ Returns?

The pre-tribulation rapture—1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52) as an Read more

“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols… Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.” (Revelation 9:20–21, KJV) In Revelation 9, amid Read more

The 14th chapter of Zechariah stands as one of the most devastating passages in Scripture for any theology that claims God has permanently cast away the Jewish people or transferred Israel’s promises to the Church.
