The question has been brought up concerning animal sacrifices during the millennial kingdom.  Scripture teaches that the temple will be rebuilt prior to or during the tribulation period.  This is confirmed in the book of Daniel, when it states that the daily sacrifice will be ceased by Antichrist; Dan. 8:11, “…and by him the daily sacrifice was […]

Studying the book of Revelation takes a lot of passion, but it’s almost impossible to discuss it without having to address the different tribulation theories.  There are three main viewpoints concerning the rapture.  Those viewpoints are: pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, and post-tribulation.  Here is a quick overview of the different viewpoints without getting into too much detail.

It is stated in Rev. 13:8, that all who dwell on earth whose names are not written in the Book of Life shall worship the Antichrist.  Reading this verse alone, it does seem to indicate that the entire world will worship the Antichrist, but we must qualify this statement. Antichrist will not rule the entire […]

Revelation chapter 13, describes two beasts. However, most people only focus on one beast, the one that rises up out of the sea (Rev. 13:1).   Scripture clearly describes another beast in that same chapter.  Unlike the first beast, the second beast rises up out of the earth, (Rev. 13:11).

In some circles the 144,000 become a […]

There are several instances where the book of Revelation mentions white horses.  Rev.6:1-2 and Rev.19:11-16, mentions a single rider on a white horse.  Rev.19:14 references armies, all riding white horses.  Usually there is no confusion concerning the identity of the armies. They are thought to be the resurrected saints; however when mentioning the individual riders […]
