This page is a list of Bible studies I have done by topic. They lay out the bigger picture as it all relates to the coming times and what is going to happen according to the Bible as I understand it. I don’t claim to have it all figured out in regards to Bible prophecy, but I believe the Bible does and so I work to rely on the Bible to interpret the Bible. I go into how I approach Bible study here. God gave us One Word, as there is only One Christ, Yeshua ha Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah), and He is the Word made flesh. John 1:1-5 So we as the body of Christ guided by the head that is Christ should have all we need to be of one mind written in God’s Word when taking Him at His Word.

I have tried to link to terms in each Bible study the first time they come up, so please take advantage of the links and the resources they contain! It is important when discussing anything for all parties to have the same thoughts in mind when using definitions to explain things. These definitions come from the Holy Bible at their foundation and in researching the Biblical definition, I’ve kept scripture at the foundation, believing that everything we need to know God put there for us to understand. Amos 3:7 | Proverbs 25:2 I welcome any Biblical correction you may discover in your own search for Truth. Please let me know!

Proverbs 1:7; 22-33
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction... How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Topical Bible Studies

  • God - There are lots of sites that go into detail on who the Judeo-Christian God is. I am just touching on those here. To know Him, read His Word, the Bible. The following are the three personages of the One True God. How can they be three yet One? Begin by understanding how thought is the voice of the spirit realm.
    • YAHWEH (Father) - Matthew 11:27, All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
    • Yeshua HaMashiach (Son) - God manifest as a human male born from the nation of Israel almost 2,000 years ago. His name is Jesus, or in Hebrew Yeshua, meaning salvation.
    • Rauch HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) - The Holy Spirit is our comforter sent by Christ to make known all things. John 14:26

  • Christians - This is always a good place to start. Understand what a Christian should be according to scripture. This is hardly a completed study, but I add to it as I find scriptures and time.
    • Trusting the Source - Can we trust the Bible? What are its origins? What version should we use? These are all important if you take God seriously because His connection to teach you His ways is through His Word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit if you ask.
    • Are we gods? - The New Age movement has a lot of self-focus, but understanding Hebrew and our place in God’s plans reveals the true meaning.
    • Importance of Obedience - Yeshua said that if we love Him, we will obey Him. This is how we know Him.
    • Church Symbolized in the Old Testament - The menorah, the oil, the Spirit and the bride. Is there a common connection and is the menorah symbolic of the church?
    • Bride of Christ | aka: Just | Christian | Church | - Who is the bride of Christ? What does it mean to us as Christians?
    • Marriage Supper of the Lamb - What is this as opposed to the marriage of the Lamb? How does it fit into the timing?
    • The Elect & The Saints - A closer look at these terms defined in relation to Bible prophecy.
    • Baptism - Is baptism necessary? What is it?

  • End Times Reasons - A growing list of reasons why I believe we are in the last days.
  • End Time Players - Who are the main personalities of the coming end of the age?
    • The Beast (antichrist, man of sin, son of perdition) - This is the eventual head of a political system symbolized by seven heads representing kingdoms through history with the last head (current) having 10 horns. More on that here. However, this political system is going to be headed by one man and so the beast is the kingdom that does what the head says. The beast is the kingdom and the man that controls it.
      • Mark of the Beast - Without this mark, nobody will be able to buy or sell in the antichrist’s kingdom.
    • False Prophet - Who is this beast from the earth? How does this relate to the 12th Mahdi, who is expected to ascend from a well in Iran?
    • Woman Who Rides the Beast - This is an unfaithful woman the Bible says is a city that rules over the world. She sits on seven mountains and is drunk on the blood of the saints. Related scripture identify this symbolic woman as Jerusalem, sitting on Mount Zion through history.
    • Two Witnesses - These two will stand in Jerusalem during the great tribulation.
    • The 24 Elders - Who are the twenty four elders seen several times in heaven?
    • Restrainer of 2 Thessalonians 2 - Who is the restrainer that is holding back the revealing of the antichrist?
    • The 144,000 - This is a very specific group of people defined from scripture for us.
    • Woman of Revelation 12 - Who is the woman of Revelation 12? It’s important to let the Bible itself interpret the symbology for us so that we don’t deviate from what God intended to say. What does the Bible say about this woman representing Israel? How does that relate to the 70th week of Daniel?

  • Olivet Discourse - Often misunderstood because of the similar language, explore the differences between the two similar accounts in Matthew and Mark compared to the version in Luke. How does that affect interpretation of Bible prophecy? There are subtle differences that can skew prophecy if they aren’t understood.

  • Great Tribulation - This time is unparalleled in all of history. Examine just what Christ was referring to according to the Bible. Is it 7 years, 3 ½ years, or less? Who are the subjects of this great tribulation? Why is it called great tribulation? These questions and more are answered straight from the Bible to give a scriptural definition to what Christ was speaking about when He said these words to the disciples. Matthew 24:15-22
  • Israel - Is Israel a part of God’s design for the end? Actually Israel is central to God’s design and their acceptance of Him must come before He returns in glory.

HIStory, Our Future: Pearls For The Bride

Revelation 19:10
...the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

I believe this title is exactly what Bible prophecy is. It is all His (Christ’s) story from the Bible that is wrapped around history, His story, and our collective future. We are the bride of Christ awaiting His coming to gather us to Himself. What He has given us in Bible prophecy are pearls of wisdom. So what better title for a Bible study which walks the church through the promised understanding of the end times written in Bible prophecy? Understanding was meant for the time of the end. Daniel 12:4-9 | Daniel 9:24 In addition to the reasons I believe we are at the end, this study shows why I believe the time is now!

My agenda is to see people I may or may not ever hear from get closer to Christ than before, seeing the truth and reality of the Living Word manifest in our time! Christians have been anticipating this time since Christ first ascended. I’m a firm believer that the Bible is 100% true and inerrant and I take it seriously. Where symbology is used, I look to the rest of the whole council of God for the interpretation of that symbology.

I’m still learning as we all are, so I encourage you to become an active participant in the Word and spread the Gospel to those willing to hear. The souls are hungry for God, let us not hide the light God has given us. Read the Gospels again and pay attention to whom Yeshua brings His message to. We must recognize our brokenness before we will ever ask God to fix it. And we must recognize and turn from our sins before He will forgive them. His Law is there for a reason, to highlight love for God and love for each other. Break the Law, you are not acting in God’s Love.

So I pray the result of this study is that you get close to Yeshua in quiet and alone and just open your heart to Him in worship. Listen for the still small voice. Let Him fill you up, and then go out and share the abundance of what God gives you, His Love. The Lord bless your study of His Word. To YAHWEH be the Glory!

The Bible studies below are intended to complement the studies above and provide greater detailed understanding from the Bible about the future that God wants all who believe in Him to know.


Key Passages

These are key scriptures that are foundational to my beliefs and the explanations why.

  • Luke 17:24-37 - This passage lays out the general timing of the harpazo to “in the night” of the abomination of desolation non-literally.
  • 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5 - This is the primary passage that negates a pre-trib harpazo because our gathering to Christ comes after the abomination of desolation.
  • 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 - This is a primary pre-wrath passage stating that we who are watching are not appointed to God’s wrath.
  • Luke 21:29-36 - This is another primary pre-wrath passage stating that we can escape the time to come and stand before the Son of man.
  • Matthew 24:29-31 - This passage is key to understand in relation to the timing of the sixth seal.
  • Isaiah 17, Amos 1, & Zephaniah 2 - I believe deal with Israel attacking Damascus bringing Iran, Turkey, Russia, and other Muslim nations against Israel from the North. This is the God/Magog invasion of Israel that God wipes out in the mountains of Israel. Watch for this sign!
  • Zechariah 2 - God’s promise of Israel’s redemption to Him. Gog/Magog is placed before the millennium in the chapter.

Topics

  • Mystery of Iniquity - This is the works of deception and lies that lead away from the foundation of God’s Word toward the kinds of doctrines the Word of God says would come in the end-times. It begins to reveal the vast conspiracy to lead mankind away from the God who created and loves them.
    • History of the Mystery of Iniquity - A look at ideologies that were introduced and brought about negative long-term effects leading to the spiritual decline of society today prepared to accept the antichrist.

  • Israel: The Apple of God’s Eye - An overview of Israel’s importance and central nature to Bible prophecy.
  • Islam & the 12th Mahdi - Islam has it’s own identity laid out in its holy books. These include prophesies about the future they expect to unfold.
  • European Union - The Revived Roman Empire with 10 horns (member-states of the WEU)
  • United States of America - There are many history lessons I was never told regarding the goals some people had for America. Learn about the darker side of the New Atlantis and how that plays into the end-times.
  • New World Order - This is the common term used to describe the global governance being worked to bring the world together. Other methods are being used as well, but this focuses on the basics of the political aspect.
  • Health Watch - GMOs, Vaccines, Mercury and Fluoride issues are addressed revealing some possibilities for why cancer, disease, autism and ADD are on the rise. What we put into our bodies affects our bodies and sometimes scientific guesses are made with incomplete knowledge. What are we putting into our bodies?

  • Earth Changes - One of the elements of these earth changes is global warming. However, I include other things like earthquake, volcanoes etc. I believe it is one of the other methods being used to unite the world under a common cause. This helps ease into globalism. I believe there is another reason for it however and it has little to do with mankind’s pollution although everything to do with its fruits.
  • Apostasy - The falling away from Truth. This is a necessity for Bible prophecy to come to pass and leads eventually to the world worshipping the antichrist.
  • Technology - Ever since WWII technology has skyrocketed to bring us to today with computers, radio and television. It is leading to developments like a global cashless society and identification and tracking systems that will be utilized to control the population in the New World Order. Conspiracy? You bet it is, on the grandest scale of Biblical proportions, but it sneaks up much more subtly than that.
  • UFOs & The Nephilim - I’ve never personally seen a UFO or encountered extra-terrestrial beings as some state to have. It’s the sheer number and video evidence that has led me to believe this is a reality as well as Biblical history stating this to be the case. Alien or angel, makes no difference as neither are created from the dust of the earth as humanity and so are extra-terrestrial in nature. Genetic manipulation and alien hybrids are in the Bible, read Genesis 6:1-8.
    • News: UFO
    • Mars / Cydonia - Is there evidence of intelligence on Mars? There is of a global cataclysm that may have occurred at the time of the flood. If Lucifer walked amongst the stones of fire (planets), could it be that far-fetched? You might be surprised. While not conclusive, given the coming deceptions we should try to see how this fits in with the Biblical account of the history of the solar system and its inhabitants.

  • Creation vs. Evolution - Did we evolve or are we part of a created universe governed by God? I believe science proves creation and indeed the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows His handiwork. But don’t take my word for it, examine the facts.
