I grew up listening to prophetic preaching. There was no doubt that this preaching was premillennial as well as dispensational. The rapture was always presented as pretribulational (occurring before the great tribulation period). For me these were grand days of my young adulthood. The church I grew up in was large with well-known guest speakers […]

From Eternity to Eternity
This third book was first published in 1954. It includes Sauer’s dispensational chart which is a large fold-out chart glued in the back of the book. On this chart the rapture is pictured as pre-tribulational. Sauer scans the entire Biblical history and then, at great length, answers thirteen objections to the literal nature of the […]
Is Prophecy for Today? (Part 2)
Prophecy was an important and primary gift in the Scripture. In the last issue I explained that the miraculous gifts which were given to the first century church ceased at the end of that century. Three reasons have been given and three more are given in the remainder of this article. God’s Church The […]
Is Prophecy For Today? (part 1)
Jesus warned that as the end times begin, many false prophets shall arise and deceive many (Matt. 24:11). It is not hard to find religious groups of all kinds offering prophetic words and predictions for the time in which we live. The twentieth century brought about the charismatic movement with its miracle workers, tongues speakers, […]
Epicenter
I enjoyed reading Rosenberg’s novels so I was willing to take a chance on a book about his life and how he came to his prophetic views. I was somewhat disappointed. In his novels, he majored on the battle of Gog and Magog (based on Ezekiel 38 &39) and God’s rescue of Israel during that […]
An End Time Scenario
The Scriptures tell us very plainly that we cannot predict when the rapture will occur or when the events of the tribulation period will begin. Jesus said, “It is not for you to know the times and seasons which the father hath put in his own power” (Acts 1:7). Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote, “Now […]
The Account Which We Must Give
This is a 1990 book from Regular Baptist Press. The sub-title is: “Studies on The Judgment Seat of Christ.” I think this kind of study is in great need today. The Bema Seat of Christ ought to be of greatest concern for a Christian yet we seldom think about the seriousness of it. The author […]
Will You Be Saved After the Rapture?
It has often been said that true repentance is seldom late but late repentance is seldom true. When it comes to repentance during the great tribulation period, this saying seems appropriate. Though this is a day when prophetic themes are not as prominent as they once were, there still seems to be quite a bit […]
Judgment – The Forgotten Prophecy
Jude recorded, And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly […]
The Copper Scroll
This is the second “novel” I’ve read by Joel Rosenberg. He is the author who wrote The Last Jihad which depicted Islamic terrorists crashing airliners into US buildings, but written before 9/11. With that notoriety he has written a series of biblically oriented books depicting last days scenarios. I read The Ezekiel Option which gave […]
