What Happens NEXT? Chapter One

G od spent a lot of time on prophecy in Scripture, almost one-third of it, and even pointed to it as evidence that He is God (Isaiah 41:26 and Isaiah 46:9-10). It is frequently on my mind. I avoid talking about it because I don’t want to come across as one of those nuts with an end-times billboard. I leave that to the lovable homeless couple on the avenue, the ones who have the sign that reads, “The End is Near!” on one side and “Have a Nice Day!” on the other. They also have a sign that reads, “Be Positive!” I am positive. I’m positive I don’t want to be quite that colorful. I also doubt the tactic of carrying around a big, scary sign would be an effective strategy for me. I certainly don’t feel called to do it. I do, however, know that Jesus chastised those who did not understand or believe Bible prophecy (Luke 19:44 and 24:25), so this is an important subject that needs to be addressed somehow.     Sadly, many teachers either mock it or teach messages that do not full...

Is God our God only on this planet?

On CBS Sunday Morning, when discussing his latest movie,  Disclosure Day , Steven Spielberg asked, "Is God our God only on this planet? Or is God a god for every system where there's civilization and intelligent life, and even developing life?" I find the question, which I'm sure he thought was deep and profound, to be something so simple and obvious that even a Sunday School student could answer it. Especially given the fact that the only religion addressed in the movie was Christianity. Any Christian, who is a Christian in fact and not in name only, knows the answer to that. Scripture says in Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Nehemiah 9:6 says, "You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you." This tells us there are multit...

Memo from the Abyss: In the Style of the Screwtape Letters

  MY DEAR MALPHAS, I have received your latest report with a satisfaction I rarely permit myself to feel. You seem, for once, to be handling your assignment with a commendable lack of incompetence. The material you sent regarding your patient’s cultural climate confirms what the High Command has been whispering: the Groundwork is complete, and the transition from the Old Deceptions to the Grand Manufacture is proceeding precisely on schedule. You must understand, Nephew, that our greatest historical challenge with the vermin has always been their stubborn, built-in instinct for the supernatural. For centuries, the Enemy (that miserable, sentimental "Tyrant") had things rather easy. If we made ourselves too obvious with clanking chains, horns, pitchforks, and the usual medieval theatrics, the humans would invariably take fright, drop to their knees, and remember "Him" . Thus, our previous department excelled at Materialism. We convinced them that the universe was not...

Is "Disclosure Day" by Spielberg a Set-Up?

Setting the Cosmic Board: How AI, Transhumanism, and Alien Disclosure Are Scripting the Great Delusion.  We live in an era of unprecedented acceleration. Technologies that were the stuff of science fiction a mere decade ago are now deeply integrated into our daily lives. At the same time, topics once relegated to the fringes of the paranormal (such as UFOs and extraterrestrial life) are being openly discussed by government agencies, whistleblowers, and mainstream media. To the secular world, these parallel tracks represent human progress and the dawn of a new cosmic understanding. But to a believer anchored in a Biblical worldview, these trends are not disconnected accidents of history. They are the methodical, synchronized setting of a cosmic chessboard: a technological and spiritual framework designed to facilitate what the Apostle Paul termed "The Great Delusion" (2 Thessalonians 2:11). When we pull back the curtain and connect the dots between modern cinema, artifi...

How do we fear and trust God at the same time?

In the Bible, trust and fear are presented as inversely related: as trust in God grows, fear decreases. We move from fear to faith. However, we are also told to fear the Lord, and such fear is the beginning of wisdom. Could we be dealing with two different kinds of fear? The fear of the world and the fear of the Lord? I think that is the case, and it is primarily the fear of the world I want to focus on first. We are surrounded by those types of fears: wars, lawlessness, hantavirus and other deadly diseases. Trust functions as the antidote to this kind of fear, with Psalm 56:3 acting as a core verse: "Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You." Fear is seen as an inevitable human emotion, but it should not govern life; instead, it is a prompt to rely on God’s protection, strength, and presence. Key Aspects of Trust and Fear in the Bible: Trust Overcomes Fear (Faith over Fear): Trusting in God serves as a refuge, protecting believers against fear and anxiety. The Bible o...
