Signs Of The Times

Iran’s proxy Hezbollah is firing military rockets at Israel’s northern border while Iran’s other proxy, the United Nations, is firing climate rockets at you and me. Meanwhile, they're blaming Israel for everything, and all this proves to all of us that we’re still in need of a Savior!  That plus much more as we explore the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, June 14th, 2024.

Intense Action and Escalation are the words that frame the latest news surrounding Hamas, Hezbollah, and Israel. Profound Sadness are the words that frame the life of a young Dutch woman, and Arachnophobia is the frame of fear if you live near New York.  Yet Grace and Peace are the words for you as we look at the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, June 7th, 2024.

Eventually Israel will have to deal with Hezbollah like they’ve had to deal with Hamas, but Hezbollah says “we have a surprise for you!”  Well there’s no surprise with the latest news coming out of Iran, but should we be surprised when elected officials who are supposed to uphold the law, are saying we should do away with the law?  Well get ready, because Pastor Mark is going to lay down the law, as we look at the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, May 31st, 2024.

Some countries are trying to play God, as in attempting to speak something into existence out of nothing!  Imagine if someone tried to kill you and you went to defend yourself only to have a warrant put out for your arrest!  Imagine if the government tore down the fence around your yard and your home is now invaded by killer critters!  This introduction might seem like a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside of an enigma, but we’ll look to God’s Word to make sense of what I’m trying to say, as we look at the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, May 24th, 2024.

Iran is looking to expand their footprint of terror and their footprint of friends.  Meanwhile America is looking to expand their hatred of Israel and use of drugs!  The “W.H.O. do they think they are” is looking to expand their control through fear, but we shall not fear as we look at the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, May 17th, 2024.

You would think with Israel battling bad intentions at both the northern and southern borders, America would come to her aid, but the US wants to withhold it. This leads us to a Captain Obvious moment from the Anti-Defamation League, which leads us to lots of listener questions!  The good news is, unlike the United States, the Bible won’t withhold any aid to us.  And we’ll see why as we explore the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, May 10th, 2024.

The Levites are tuning up for the third temple while Israel is turning up the heat on their enemies.  At least 5 EU Countries want to recognize a Palestinian State but no one wants to recognize the global Jew hate.  Pope Francis and a special visitor from outer space more than makes up for having no listener questions this week, but we promise - we’re not making up any of these…Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, May 3rd, 2024.

We might be born with that sin nature, but we’re not born with hate.  Hate is actually something that can be gleaned from observation or learned from indoctrination.  We’ll talk about how hate is demonstrated and prophesied in the Bible so we can recognize it for what it is, as we observe the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, April 26th, 2024.

We’ll talk about what we know and what we don’t about the latest missile exchange program between Israel and Iran.  Is America helping or hurting the situation?  Is America’s Anti-Israel position opening bridges for more conflict? The world seems to be erupting, just like an Indonesian volcano, so we’ll go with the flow of this week’s Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, April 19th, 2024.

Jack Hibbs, Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills is Pastor Mark's special guest on today's show!

Our government might not see it this way, but we see it as an attack on Jews and Christians. We’ll explain our position, but can we explain a rise in TB cases, earthquakes, rampant violence, wars, and rumors of wars?  We can’t, but the Bible can, so we’ll go to God’s Word as we look at the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, April 5th, 2024.

Could the heat turning up against Israel turn out to be the beginnings of Ezekiel 38 and 39?  We’ve got two polls that seem to show our country is going in opposite directions.  Pastor Mark will talk about the creation timeline and if there’s going to be peace and prosperity after the rapture while he answers our listener questions as we begin our Good Friday edition of Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, March 29th, 2024.

Could the United States be accused of foreign interference or foreign election meddling?  In a society that screams inclusivity and acceptance at every opportunity, how can the hatred of any people group become so embraced?  Here’s what we do know, if the latest report is true, the Jews should be embracing evangelical Christians like their life depends on it, but does it?  Lots of questions and hopefully lots of answers as we explore the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, March 22nd, 2024.

Hezbollah thinks that Gaza is getting too much attention, so they’re generating their own headlines!  Could Russia, China, and Iran become the new axis of evil?  The current U.S. administration is doing everything it can to hurt Israel while helping her enemies, and we’ll also look at some people who have a firefighter mentality and how we can be encouraged to do the same. Those are just some of the stories we’ll investigate in this edition of Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, March 15th, 2024.

There’s plenty of war talk in our Israel news, while Biden keeps singing the settler’s blues. Can we become slaves of our own creation, and are these prophetic disasters across our nation?  We’ve got good questions to answer and good news to share, and a good joke for Pastor Mark is a joke that is rare!  But nevertheless, these are the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, March 8th, 2024.

One of the major thoughts we’ve had for the Ezekiel prophecies seems to be coming to pass, but does it pass the prophecy test?    If you’re a Christian, a new report says you’re more like the Jews than you think!  Mexico City might be running out of water, but at least California isn’t running out of…crime?  That’s just some of the articles we’ll discuss as we look at the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, March 1st, 2024.

While Israel rejects a Palestinian State, Hamas trains Russia with drones full of hate.  Did Biden really vow to give our jobs to the haters, and why are nearly half of US Jews altering their behaviors? Our border has a crisis that’s a pestilence of plight, and we’ll even see Jesus visit Gaza in the middle of the night.  So come along with us as we discuss prophetic crimes, it’s a soap opera like none other that we call… the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, February 23rd, 2024.

Iran, Hamas, Qatar, Egypt, China, the US, and Israel have all entered the prophecy chat. God’s Word will enter the chat too as we talk about everything going on in the Middle East. We’ll also talk about what the world’s biggest threat is. Jewish hatred is getting worse, and the corruption of minds and bodies is getting worse too, plus a prayer request for you, as we explore the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, February 2nd, 2024.

We have a different show today in focus and in length. Pastor Mark cannot be with us, however, as God orchestrates all things, Calvary Knoxville recently hosted long-time Israeli tour guide, Ronny Simon.  Ronny has a vast knowledge of the history and politics of Israel and was with us to share his account of the October 7th massacre that happened outside of Gaza, along with sharing how Gaza came to be what we see today.  Ronny is insightful, educational, and passionate about his homeland; he is also brutally honest in his assessment of where the nation of Israel stands today…internally and in the eyes of the watching world.

The world is pressing Israel to stop defending herself, so we’ll tell you what Israel has to say about that.  The wars and rumors of wars of Matthew 24 are in full bloom, and budding on the tree of apostasy is Pope Francis.  The only thing rivaling his comments is the UFO revolution.  We’ll discuss those articles plus others as we explore the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, January 19th, 2024.

Israel is an interesting conglomeration of people groups.  One of those groups you wouldn’t expect is growing and we’ll tell you who it is and why.  We’ll also tell you how the axis of evil is growing to the concern of the United States.  We’ll tell you what a “BRIC” is and how “BRIC” by “BRIC” the One World Economy is growing.  That’s just some of what we’ll discuss as we explore the Signs Of The Times, our weekly review of Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, January 5th, and our first show of 2024.

We'll travel the globe today, from rockets in Lebanon to haters in New York City, and see that Canada has a pill-sized problem! And what’s going on in what we call the church is apostasy by committee. We’ll see how Scientists have once again lost their minds, but without all this craziness, we wouldn’t have any Signs Of The Times, our weekly peek at Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, December 29th, and our final show of 2023.

There are some things man can’t track, but for everything else, there’s Mastercard?  The world hates hate, except if it’s hatred of the Jews.

Israel’s enemies and the active engagement of war only seem to be increasing, as well as the collaboration over at team "Ezekiel 38 and 39." We’ll talk about an astounding Antisemitic statistic, and only more shocking is how the truth of God’s Word continues to divide the United Methodist Church.  In the midst of all this global hate and pervasive sin, is it still possible to have peace on earth and goodwill toward men?  As you ponder that possibility, we’ll be discussing the Signs Of The Times, our weekly peek at Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, December 15th, 2023.

Those stories plus much more as we explore the Signs Of The Times, our weekly peek at Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, December 1st, 2023.

Iran will do whatever it takes to destroy Israel, and the world will do whatever it takes to take away Israel’s right to defense while condemning her in the process.  The FDA is in the process of approving another vaccine.  Here’s a question…Can someone vaccinate us from the Vatican?  Those stories plus some good news as we peruse the Signs Of The Times, our weekly peek at Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, November 17th, 2023.

We think the leader of Hamas and those who ignorantly support Hamas might want to get on the same page.  Our articles reveal they are not.  What is revealing is how birds of prey are being used right now and how they might be used prophetically.  Earthquakes and pestilence are back in our stack, and a story of how one prison inmate overcame the odds stacked against him is just some of what we’ll discuss, as we explore the Signs Of The Times, our weekly peek at Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday November 10th, 2023.

The world is in a prophetic wrestling match, but it's not against flesh and blood, even while we see the reality of such things playing out through physical wars. Hamas is doubling down, the Houthis have joined in, and Israel itself has declared they’re in the second stages of war. Even so, it’s really the rulers of the darkness of this age and the spiritual hosts of wickedness that have declared war, and you’ll see why as we explore the Signs Of The Times, our weekly look at Bible prophecies in the world’s news for Friday, November 3rd, 2023.

Threats and promises are one thing, but could six thousand drones be prophetic?  San Francisco serves as a cautionary tale about what happens when you reject law and order.  Lawlessness abounds in Kensington, and no, we're not talking about the palace in England.   Of course, this is leading to a lot of fear, but should the Christian fear?
