Specifically, the 144,000 is a group of people that are mentioned only twice in the Bible.  The book of Revelation, chapter 7 make mention of them in reference to servants being sealed with the seal of God and chapter 14 identifies them as the first fruits of God. 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 […]

There is a phrase in Rev.4:1 that state, “…..Come up hither…..”  Is this a reference to the rapture of the saints?  No, this is not the rapture of the saints.  This is an invitation extended to John, only.  As a matter of fact, this isn’t referencing the rapture of the saints, or a rapture of […]

John was instructed to write to the seven churches in Asia.  These seven churches are considered to be seven different dispensations of time, beginning with the time John was given the revelation, right up to the time that Christ will return.  Many think that we are presently living in the final or Laodicean dispensation.

So many Christians think the Bride of Christ is the Church. Unfortunately, this viewpoint is in error. Scripture is very clear concerning the identity of the Bride of Christ. Rev.21:1-4 paints us a picture of a city descending down from heaven prepared as a bride. One of the angels in Rev.21:9-10 goes even further and […]

The Tribulation Period, as the name implies is a period when there will be perilous times on earth.  Jesus mentioned this period of time and He described it as a time when things on earth are at their worst, ever.  If you think things are bad now, Jesus said they will get even worse than […]

Another prediction of the end of the world has come and gone.  The date was 5/21/2011.  Since that date has passed, a new date has already been set by the same individual.  The new date is 10/21/2011.  This is at least the third prediction of the end of the world by the same individual, and […]
