Since the Covid-19 physical distancing measures were implemented across our province, British Columbia, I have been providing our little church family with daily devotional videos on our YouTube channel. In particular, a number of these have followed the theme of being ready for the second coming of Christ (whenever He comes!). You can find these…

Why Every Christian Should Study Bible Prophecy
When I say that, I don’t mean every Christian should buy a Ryrie Study Bible, Scofield Reference Bible, or MacArthur Study Bible. I do mean every Christian should think carefully about why the Apostles thought it was of utmost importance to be familiar with the doctrine of Jesus’ second coming. I’m getting ready to start…
Interpreting Revelation Literally
A questioner recently asked how historicists respond to people who claim we aren’t interpreting the book of Revelation (or the Bible) literally. I think this question comes up mainly from those who have been influenced by a dispensational understanding of Bible prophecy (e.g. John MacArthur, Jack VanImpe, John Hagee, Tim LaHaye, John Walvoord, John Darby,…
New “Sermons” section added to Historicism.com
Now that I have finished the sermon series on Daniel that I’ve been preaching through the first half of 2017, I have added a section to Historicism.com to link to the sermons directly. As I preach on other passages that relate to prophecy, I’ll add them to the sermons page. The files are still hosted…
New timecharts added!
The page of time charts on Historicism.com has been a disaster for about a decade. I’ve finally fixed it. And I’ve added new charts on the book of Daniel, the overview of the prophecies in the book, and the prophecies of chapter 12. You can see the updated time charts page here. You can also…

By “Babylon the Great” I don’t mean the ancient empire of Babylon under any of its ancient dynasties. I mean the symbolic Babylon the…
Sermons on Daniel
At our church, I have been preaching through Daniel so far this year. If you’re interested in listening to them you can find them as they become available on our church website (click “By Series” from the list on the left, and then click on “The Book of Daniel: What if this is the end?”) or on…
Gog Takes Baby Steps
I’ve been pretty interested lately in the failure of US foreign policy with regard to Syria and the Islamic State, and in the movements of Russia to build up military resources in Syria (see the above linked National Post commentary for an insightful analysis of these current events). It does seem like the famous Gog prophecy…

The Sword of the LORD
Jer 47:6-7 6 Ah, sword of the Lord! How long till you are quiet? Put yourself into your scabbard; rest and be still! 7 How can it be quiet when the Lord has given it a charge? Against Ashkelon and against the seashore he has appointed it.” ? ESV … It is Jeremiah himself addressing…
