The war in Ukraine has been going on for some eight weeks now, which is long enough for the shock and horror to givw way to some analysis. This being the case, the western world is awash in analysis. I don’t think I will be duplicating any of that analysis here because I will be […]

When Did We Stop Watching?
posted by Planet In Distress
I write a great deal here about what is going on in the world and how it matches, seamlessly, with Biblical predictions for events that immediately precede the return of Christ. But when I write, I do so assuming that the value of watching for the signs of the coming of Christ is universally accepted […]
Wars and Rumors of Wars: Syria
posted by Planet In Distress
Trying to dig into conflict in the Middle East (anywhere in the Middle East) is like peeling an endless onion – it is just layer after painful layer of a history of intrigue and treachery and international interventions and hatred, all of which is directly influencing current events. A succession of American presidents have tried […]
Ours is the First Generation to be Able to Chart and Graph the Fulfillment of Prophecy
posted by Planet In Distress
For some two thousand years, generation after generation of Christians have waited for the return of Christ. These generations have faithfully studied the Scriptures, noted the way-marks outlined in prophecy, and watched for the return of Christ – just as He instructed (Mark 13:32-37). Many among these generations have lived in the expectation that they would see […]

posted by Planet In Distress
The link between sin, environmental degradation, and societal disruption that fulfills prophecy is not obvious. But as with almost any emerging trend or event, once it is pointed out and explained, it is easy to detect. To build the case for linkage and causation between sin and environmental degradation we have to go back to […]
Is There a Biblical Case for Climate Change?
posted by Planet In Distress
The ongoing discussion (if it can be called that) on climate change is almost entirely political. Or at least, it is here in the US. This means that most people, instead of evaluating perspectives and theories and data, make up their mind in accordance with their political beliefs and ignore or dismiss information that runs […]
Increasingly Frequent Disasters and the Fulfillment of Prophecy
posted by Planet In Distress
Take a good, careful look at the chart below. The chart, courtesy of Emdat (www.emdat.be/natural-disasters-trends) reflects the number of reported disasters from the period of 1900 to 2010. Unfortunately, Emdat does not yet have the data up for 2011, a year full of very expensive disasters, so we have to work with what we’ve got. […]
