Believers will be considered to be unbelievers by the antichrist’s followers, and will be viewed as enemies of the state, hated by all nations. That is why Jesus told His followers to flee at a certain time, and why He told them what to beware of after they’ve fled. Are you ready?
Todays Scripture: Matthew 24:15-16, 21-27
Comparing history with Daniel 11, one would think that Daniel’s “abomination of desolation” prophecy was fulfilled hundreds of years before Christ was born.

Todays Scripture: Matthew 24:15
Scholars debate if the first half of Jesus’ Olivet Discourse has application to events that preceded Jerusalem’s destruction in 70AD or to events that will precede the return of Jesus. David agrees with both!

Todays Scripture: Matthew 24:1-9

As a child, did you ever cross your fingers behind your back as you were telling a lie? Tragically, the scribes and Pharisees essentially continued that practice as adults. David explains how.
Todays Scripture: Matthew 23:12-23
Jesus condemned the scribes and Pharisees for loving their respectful titles, such as of Rabbi. He told His followers to avoid titles such as Teacher, Leader and Father, and for good reason. So how does Jesus feel about other titles, such as Pastor and Apostle?
Todays Scripture: Matthew 23:1-12
David makes the claim that he is 99.99% sure that Jesus will not come back today. Why is he so sure?
Todays Scripture: Matthew 24:15, 35-41
Is it possible to be ready now for Jesus’ return, but not be ready when He does actually return?
Todays Scripture: Matthew 24:40-51
