Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 49 Gary responds to a challenge issued to him on Facebook about the great tribulation and the "end times." The challenge-writer is convinced that we are living in the last days now, based on Israel becoming a nation again in 1948, and all of the modern "signs" of the times confirming Jesus warnings from the Olivet Discourse.
Matthew 24 v13, those who endure to the end, will be saved. In other words if you don't endure, you will be lost. The Christian walk is about perseverance through the love of Christ. Your salvation is a gift of God Ephesians 2 v8-10, so nothing can be earned.

Daily Dose of Hope July 11, 2025 Scripture - Matthew 24:36-51 Prayer: Almighty God, We thank you for a new day and we praise your perfect name. We are grateful that your mercies are new every single morning. Help us see you in this day. Help us recognize your voice. Lord, help us reflect you today in our words. Help us reflect you in our behavior. Help us remember who and whose we are. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts. I apologize for this devotional being late. My rhythm got knocked off a bit with Vacation Bible School. It was absolutely wonderful and exhausting in a good way. We had just over 200 kids and roughly 65 volunteers. Please continue to be in prayer for every child and every family – may those who don't know Jesus grow closer to knowing him and may those who don't have a church home come join us at New Hope. Today, we are finishing up Matthew 24. This is really a continuation of the discussion in the first portion of the chapter. Jesus is saying that the time and hour he will return are not known. And we are not supposed to be guessing and predicting. We are simply told to be ready. Certain groups of Christians have focused a great deal on the coming judgment and the end times. I think what we find in this chapter is that there is more that we don't know than what we do know. For thousands of years, people have predicted Jesus' return and the coming judgment and each and every time, they were wrong. I'm always a bit skeptical of anyone who makes predictions like these. I mean, the Scripture says, “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” If Jesus doesn't know, then why should we? Keep watch. Be ready. We don't need to worry about the coming judgment because we know Jesus. But we do need to be actively living as a follower. We need to be sharing the Good News with others. We need to be genuine, loving, and truthful in how we do life. Do your neighbors know that you love Jesus? Do your coworkers know that you follow Jesus? Is your faith obvious and real? Why or why not? Let's take this Scripture seriously, friends. The chapter ends with a parable about a faithful and unfaithful servant. Jesus says that blessed is the servant whose master finds him working diligently when he arrives. That servant will be put in charge of many possessions. But the unfaithful servant is the one who assumes his master is delayed so he mistreats his fellow servants and drinks instead of working. When the master arrives home unexpectantly, the servant will be cut into pieces and thrown in with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Well, that sounds pretty terrible. What is the meaning of the parable? Basically, Jesus is saying that our actions, our behavior, shows what we truly believe. If we believe in Jesus, then we obey him and choose to do the right thing. We live a faithful life, ready for when he will return. If we don't obey and don't live faithfully, it's like saying we don't believe. Don't deny God with your actions. Know God and be ready for his return at any time. Are you ready? Blessings, Pastor Vicki
In the final chapter of Daniel, the prophet is shown that those who are wise and faithful will one day awake to everlasting life. This teaching explores Daniel 12 through history—not speculation—and reveals how God's justice will prevail, even beyond the grave. Daniel's life ends with a promise: resurrection and reward for enduring faithfulness. Daniel chapter 12 closes the prophet's visions with one of the most profound promises in Scripture: resurrection to everlasting life for the righteous. In this episode, we avoid speculative eschatology and focus on what history confirms and the moral truths we can apply. We examine how Michael the archangel arose to defend God's people, how the Maccabees fulfilled their role as the “shining ones” who turned many to righteousness, and how the resurrection remains a future hope for the faithful. From Hebrew wordplay to prophetic patterns, this teaching shows how Daniel's vision offers timeless encouragement for those who endure suffering in hope of the coming kingdom. Spiritual Takeaway - Daniel 12 reminds us that faithfulness in exile is not in vain. The righteous will shine like stars and be raised to everlasting life. Stand firm—resurrection is coming.
Matthew 24:24-31
So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
Daily Dose of Hope July 10, 2025 Scripture - Matthew 24:1-35 Prayer: Lord, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth! We magnify your precious and powerful name. How often we forget how mighty you are. You created all. You created us. Thank you, Lord, for who you are. Most of all, thank you for loving us with all our flaws and brokenness. In all we do, in who we are, help us to be more like you. We pray for humility, mercy, and compassion. Help us see others through your eyes. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we start Matthew 24. We start with this interesting discourse about the Temple. Jesus has taken awhile to get to this point. He has given plenty of warnings as to what is going to happen. But the disciples just can't let it go; it's all a lot for them to understand at this point. They draw attention to the size and grandeur of the Temple buildings. Even though they were from Galilee, most of these men would have seen the Temple before. They were required to attend multiple festivals each year at the Temple in Jerusalem. But they continue to be enamored by the Temple. And it was a beautiful sight. Psalm 84:1 reads, How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD Almighty! Thus, when Jesus tells them that the Temple will all be knocked down, they don't know what to make of it. They want to know all the nitty gritty details. What's interesting about this is that Rome destroys the Temple roughly forty years after Jesus said this. This would be an ugly season in Jerusalem's history, with lots of persecution and oppression. Is this what Jesus is referring to in nation rising against nation, famines, earthquakes, and so forth? Scholars don't all agree but I think it's safe to say yes and no. Yes, the Roman armies destroying Jerusalem in AD 70 was pretty horrific. Much of the population was starved and/or eventually massacred. But there is more to this. This is more than just a “in the near future” scenario. It's also likely that Jesus is referring to the end of times and when he will return to judge all people. We certainly have images of Jesus returning on the clouds with the loud trumpet call; this echoes prophecy in Daniel. Look at verses 30 and 31, Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. And up until this point, Jesus has often alluded to this. He never tells people to be scared or worried, just to be ready. As believers, we have nothing to fear. We belong to Jesus. Just be ready. But there is still an urgency to this – how seriously do we take this? Are we busy doing God's business, which includes leading people to Jesus? Is sharing the story of Jesus a regular part of who we are as believers? If not, why? Do you believe that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead? These are serious questions that every single one of us has to reckon with. One other thing to mention about this passage. At this point, the disciples still don't understand that God's presence now dwells in the person of Jesus Christ. From their perspective, the Temple still holds the presence of God. But the Good News of Jesus is that God's presence is no longer in a building but in Jesus. God is Jesus and Jesus is God. If that isn't enough to blow your mind, consider that the presence of God is now also in the person of the Holy Spirit. Where does the Holy Spirit dwell? Well, in us as believers! So that means that the presence of God is in Jesus' church, his people. That being said, are we living and acting like the presence of the Living God is in us? I'll be honest; I always find this question so convicting. Think about your day. Think about what you said and did. Was there anything that you would change if you could, thinking about how you represent the Living God? Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Today,we will be looking at Luke 21:25-28. In this passage, Jesus continues to giveHis great prophetic message concerning future events to His disciples from theMount of Olives as they overlook the city of Jerusalem. He's answering theirquestion: what will the signs be of the end of the age, and when will thathappen? Here, Jesus describes what we've already discussed as the greattribulation period, the seven years between the time of the church age, therapture of the church, and the millennial reign of Jesus Christ on earth. Inverses 8-19, Jesus described some of the things that will happen in theseven-year tribulation. There will be great deception, great chaosinternationally with wars and rumors of wars, great earthquakes in variousplaces, along with famines and pestilences, and great persecution of the Jewsand Christians alike. In verses 20-24, Jesus describes the destruction of Jerusalemand the temple. Luke's account refers not to a distant event to occur duringthe Tribulation, but to the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus and the Romanarmy in 70 A.D., just forty years from that time that Jesus is explaining theseevents to His disciples (see Luke 19:41-44). Nowin verses 25-28, Jesus is revealing what will happen in the last three and halfyears of the Tribulation jus before He returns. Revelation 15-19 also describein great detail the frightening judgment signs that God will send on the earthduring the last half of the "time of Jacob's trouble" (Jeremiah30:7). When these things occur, it will be evidence that the Lord's coming isdrawing near. The image of "waves roaring" describes nations risingand falling like waves in a storm (Psalms 46:1-6; Revelation 17:15). It will bean awesome time, and the population of the earth will tremble with fear, butmen will not repent of their sins and turn to God by faith (Revelation 9:20-21;16:9-11). Matthew24:29 informs us that the sun and moon will be darkened and the stars will fall(Isaiah 13:10; 34:4; Joel 2:10, 31; 3:15). Matthew 24:30 states that "thesign of the Son of man" will appear in' heaven. We do not know what this"sign" is, but it will produce fear among the nations of the earth.However, then Jesus Christ will appear, and every eye will see Him (Revelation1:7). The nation of Israel will at last recognize their Messiah, repent,believe, and be saved (Zechariah 12:10-14; and see Mark 14:61-62). Theseawesome signs will bring terror to the lost people of the world, but hope tothose who have trusted the Lord during the Tribulation period (Revelation 7),for these believers know that the Lord's coming will be soon. Believers todaylook for the Savior, not signs. However, as we see "coming events castingtheir shadows," we believe that the Lord's return is near. Christ'sappearing will be sudden, glorious, and with great power (Luke 21:27). Theimage here is taken from Daniel 7:13-14, a messianic passage that must havebeen familiar to the disciples. Thereare those who ignore and even ridicule the doctrine of the return of Christ.After all, the church has been waiting for the Lord for 2,000 years, and He hasnot returned yet! Peter answered that accusation in 2 Peter 3. He pointed outthat God keeps His promises whether we believe them or not, and that Godmeasures time differently from the way men measure it. Furthermore, the reasonHe waits is so that unsaved sinners may repent, be saved, and be ready whenJesus comes. While His seeming delay is a trial to the church, it is anopportunity for the lost. Havinganswered the disciples' questions concerning “the end of the age”, the Lordthen "applied" the message to their hearts by giving them this closingadmonition in verse 28: “Now when these things begin to happen, look up andlift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." Today,we should also be waiting, watching, and working! Jesus is coming again!
