Bible Prophecy News
Today, many pastors refuse to fully teach on the book of Revelation. My guess as to why leads me to two possible reasons:
- 1. They are afraid they will frighten their congregation and lose them.
- 2. They don’t know enough about it themselves.

The Rapture
What is It?
If you have heard of the Rapture but are not sure exactly what it is, Before the Wrath (also available on Amazon Prime) is an interesting documentary on the connection or similarities between the Galilean wedding and the Rapture, a time before the Tribulation, where Christians who are alive at that time will be taken up with Jesus to Heaven. Jesus spoke to His disciples about the Rapture in ways they would fully understand – that of the Galilean wedding. If we are trying to help someone understand a new concept, we generally equate it to something they already understand and say, “It’s like this.” This is what Jesus did when sharing the Rapture because the disciples knew very well everything associated with such a wedding. Interesting enough, His first miracle was at a wedding.
There are those who say the word “Rapture” isn’t even in the Bible. Well, neither are the words “Bible” or “Trinity” but we understand when they are discussed. We get our word “Rapture” from the Latin rapturo. In the Greek, it is harpazo. These words mean “caught up” or to “snatch away quickly.”
Explanations for the Disappearance of So Many People
Some pastors and others who speak on Bible prophecy believe that leaders will point to aliens and alien abductions as a way to explain the rapture when those who belong to Jesus through faith and salvation in Him are taken away in the “twinkling of an eye” (1 Corinthians 15:52). Still, it was a bit surprising to see this headline. Articles like this one discussing Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) are beginning to show up with greater frequency these days in what could be an attempt to normalize thinking on this issue. Pastor Billy Crone has done a lot of research on this topic. As a wonderful prophecy teacher named Jan Markell says, “Things aren’t falling apart; they’re falling into place.
Digital Currency
Revelation 13 talks about a time in the seven-year Tribulation where the Antichrist will require everyone to take a mark, without which they will not be able to buy or sell. This mark is not a current vaccine or tattoo. It will be a mark whereby those who take it will know that they are pledging loyalty to the Antichrist. They will do so willingly out of allegiance or fear, but they will know what they are doing. When John wrote Revelation, he must have wondered how in the world one person could control the world economically. In our day, we see it will be quite easy. The Antichrist will not have to come in and set up anything to make this happen. It will be ready to go. And we are seeing the “beast system” being set up before our very eyes.
One-World Government
While the Bible doesn’t speak specifically of climate lockdowns, it does speak about a one-world government. Many are calling for a global government so that issues such as the climate can be addressed from one body or person.
