Jesus Is Coming Again! Part 2: The Last World Empire

Jesus Is Coming Again! Part 2: The Last World Empire

I wrote in the first part of this article that there would only be two parts, but that's no longer true. There will instead be several installments because I can't summarize to oblivion all the topics related to end times. Today's episode discusses Biblical predictions of political world empires, beginning with the time of the prophet Daniel and ending at the return of Jesus Christ. This interpretation is of necessity a little subjective and speculative. I don't claim to know all the answers or that "God told me": He didn't.

Jesus is Coming! Part 1: Israel

Jesus Christ said he would come again - the promise of his coming to reign as King of Kings is woven throughout the Bible.

During Trump's first run for office Hillary Clinton described him and his supporters as “a basket of deplorables”. They are “deplorable” because (she was determined to make you to think) they are “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it”. Mrs Clinton was, of course, hoping to divide and conquer: to gather up the support of as many minorities as she could identify or create. These accusations prompted me to write a rebuttal, knowing that she would never read it or if she did, care what I had to say.

Lessons Learned from a Scientific Discussion About Fungi

Lessons Learned from a Scientific Discussion About Fungi

One BBC science documentary can tell you a lot about the fragility and weakness of the theory of evolution, even if you aren't a scientist. However, you have to be willing to look and listen between the lines. Here I’m re-publishing my review of one "In Our Time" episode on the subject of fungi.
