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…

Announcing a new edition of The Approaching End of the Age
In 1878, H. Grattan Guinness published his first major work on Bible prophecy, The Approaching End of the Age. In it he defended a premillennial historicist interpretation of Daniel and Revelation, correlating prophetic chronology with discoveries from astronomy, especially regarding harmonizations in the soli-lunar cycles. A digital version of his book has been available for…
The Immanuel Year
In his 1878 book, The Approaching End of the Age, Henry Grattan Guinness included a chart called, “The Immanuel Year”. He described it as, “The great year whose day is the soli-lunar cycle of 33 years, 7 months, Immanuel’s earthly life time, whose months are millenaries, in the course of seven of which answering to…
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,…

You will notice the wider, fluid layout of the main column, and the constant narrow column on the right for sitewide information. The site is mostly now…
