The Tipping Point changed my life. I avoided studying Revelation until the day I heard about this new “end times” ministry back in 2019! I bought the book & subscribed— never looking back. Honestly, I didn’t even know what eschatology was! ;) I feel like I’m getting my masters degree and exactly at the right time. I’ve always loved reading my Bible, but the level of studying we do here has opened up my eyes & ears to a deeper relationship with Jesus. Life is hard and changing rapidly before our eyes— this place brings me comfort & encouragement in a crazy world. Pastor Jimmy, I would love to learn more about New Earth. It’s something rarely talked about at church but where we’ll live for eternity with God! Would you do a series on New Earth?! I think you & Randy Alcorn (author of Heaven) doing a show together would be incredible & life-changing.
I LOVE this community & learn so much from y’all too! Thank you Jimmy for all the hard work you pour into the Tipping Point every week! We are eternally grateful.💛☁️🎺🔜
I wish sometimes that you would do a video a day. My wife and I cant get enough of your teachings. I believe it is said that the rapture will happen at the sound of the last trumpet. Some folks believe that is the last trumpet in tribulation, while others believe that its the last trumpet of Rash Hashanah. Could you pleas elaborate on this. I also want to hear more about the age that Rachel is talking about more for my grandchildren as they are getting close to the age of understanding.
Hi Dennis, your question is a good one and I can say to you with confidence that Pastor Jimmy is 100% pre-trib belief. He has taught us here that followers of Jesus will not go through the tribulation so we know the last trumpet 🎺 blast will be supernatural & we’ll be gone in a twinkle of an eye. God will not allow us to experience the worst wrath known to humankind…. We escape all of this.
My children are ages 13,25,28 and have received Christ as their Savior and baptized. It sounds like your grandchildren are blessed to have grandparents who love Jesus and actively involved in their lives….the age of accountability is 13 (every child is created uniquely) but this is the time to talk about their salvation & celebrating with a public declaration of baptism. I suggest creating a “marker” with their salvation date. My dad did this for me and it’s been an object I’ve kept close to always remind me of my decision to follow Christ. Hope this helps…. Blessings💛
Love this!! We are so Blessed with a Watchman on the Wall!! I have been pondering what to do for devotions this year as I always ask the Lord, every year, how I should go about studying His Word for that year. I have landed on the Scriptures that El Shaddai Ministries posts (Mark Biltz) on their Wedsite every week, from their Messianic Congregation. I started it this week. What a Blessing!! I love how they connect all the Old and New Testament Scriptures that relate together. It seems like the perfect amount too. Just enough to chew on for the week. Just passing that along in case someone else is searching too. Blessings!! And a Happy Wonderful New Year, here with the Topping Point Family!! I am looking forward to the New Year connected together with friends! 🌻
Thanks, Jimmy! Each post, video, and podcast is so good, it’s difficult to choose which is best: a good problem to have :-) I’d like to better understand the events of Daniel’s 70th Week (the Tribulation) chronologically. I’ve found harmonized Gospels helpful to understand Jesus’ ministry in a coherent chronology, and it would be nice to have something similar for the Tribulation (assembled from Revelation, Daniel, etc.). Thank you!
I look forward to your broadcasts and newsletters every week. It was so good to hear about the Blood Moons - fascinating. Also your interviews with Billy Crone were great too.
I started to study the feasts of the Lord several years ago. They are for God on his appointed days set in motion from the beginning. What amazes me is not only that Jesus died on the appointed day but was nailed on the cross at the time of the morning sacrifice and died at the time of the afternoon sacrifice. We do not know the day or the hour at the feast of Trumpets as it was the only Feast at the beginning of the month which is marked by a new moon. With each feast of Trumpets we are closer to our eternal home. God Bless and thanks for your ministry. You reinforce what I have already come to understand. Looking forward to 2022 and what develops. The stage is being set before our eyes if we are looking biblically.
Hi Mike, I am with you about 2022, and drawn to the Jewish calendar as well, and the feast days as God’s time table. I called El Shaddai Ministries yesterday to order one of their cool Jewish calendars and Mark Biltz answered the phone!! It was pretty amazing! He took about 10 minutes with me to just talk and I felt like every word was totally anointed…. What a Blessing! Anyway, I just wanted to pass along those calendars for 12$ as a real treasure. Also, I have been praying about who to give the new book to, that Jimmy wrote: Where are the missing people? So far the Lord has put 2 people on my heart that he wants me to give it to: my daughter, and my coworker from Afghanistan. I know there are going to be many more. It is going to be a wonderful year following along with all that God will do!! Blessings! Exodus 6:2-6. 🌻
Wow, I know you are blessed :). How often do you call a ministry and get to talk to the "head cheese" :) Mark must be a very humble man because I am guessing he was "manning the phone" so his employees could have time with their families during the holiday season. I will have to look into ordering the calendar and his on-line devotionals.
I’m deeply concerned about a recent book given to me titled “The Final Hour”
(Understanding End Times)
The author teaches that not All Born Again Believers will go in the Rapture but only those Looking Daily for His return. The ones that may be backsliding or have other interests on Sundays that take them away from “attending church services” are in Danger of missing the rapture and WILL have to suffer seven years of the Tribulation!!
I totally disagree with this teaching and cannot continue reading the book
Thank You Pastor Jimmy for the solid Biblical teaching on Bible Prophecy
Hi Skipt46, One thing I’ve learned from the Tipping Point when you read something wonky it most likely is. I’d throw it away because your spirit disagrees so strongly. I can say with confidence— 100% of Christ followers will be raptured! We live in Grace because we all fall short….We will never be worthy, but Jesus’ blood and gift of salvation gives us freedom in Him. We will not be left behind…we are his bride.💛
I think you’re correct to disagree! The foolish virgins are those without oil (the Holy Spirit), aka non-believers. Anything that divides the Body of Christ into good vs bad Christians is not Biblical in my opinion. Jesus is the Good Shepherd, and He knows which Sheep are His. He promises to chasten them if needed, but suggesting that some Christians will be left behind does not seem Biblical. Happy New Year!
I really enjoy reading the text articles. We use a Jetpack for wifi and get very little data on it. If we go over our alloted amount, we are throttled down to a crawl. So I am unable to stream videos and podcasts. I am sure there are others out there with similar situations, So any time you can provide a written transcript for videos or podcasts that would really be a blessing!
Jimmy, thank you for your continued gift of helping others understand what the Bible tells us about end times! Continue to invite trusted scholars on your program as it brings new perspectives. I used to listen to Chuck Missler about 15-20 years ago when I was in San Diego. Has Chuck been an influence on your teaching?
Thank you again for lighting a needed fire under my backside to begin studying my Bible with excitement! I'm really enjoying my morning and evening prayer time.
Can you please teach about Revelation 13:17-18? What does it mean when it says that the mark is “the name of the beast or the number of its name”? How can a name be associated with a number?
Pastor Allen Nolan has a very good series on just that subject. Just look him up on the internet and under Allen Nolan revelation. He explains it very well.
Hey Lisa, our small group leader explained that the number six hundred sixty six in the Greek has some interesting pictures or symbols. Don’t look up 666 (six,six,six) because that is very different from six hundred sixty six. Google the “Greek definition of six hundred sixty six” it’s thought provoking, maybe people will take on this mark?
Revelation 13:18, NASB: "Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six."
The number of the beast (Koinē Greek: Ἀριθμὸς τοῦ θηρίου, Arithmós toû thēríou) is associated with the Beast of Revelation in chapter 13, verse 18 of Book of Revelation. In most manuscripts of the New Testament and in English translations of the Bible, the number of the beast is six hundred sixty-six or χξϛ (in Greek numerals, χ represents 600, ξ represents 60 and ϛ represents 6).[1] Papyrus 115 (which is the oldest preserved manuscript of the Revelation as of 2017), as well as other ancient sources like Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus, give the number of the beast as χιϛ or χιϲ (transliterable in Arabic numerals as 616) (χιϛ), not 666;[2][3] critical editions of the Greek text, such as the Novum Testamentum Graece, note χιϛ as a variant.[4]

What is your ideas on timeline of the tribulation, raptures, the millennium, the last battle?
I really enjoy reading the text articles. We use a Jetpack for wifi and get very little data on it. If we go over our alloted amount, we are throttled down to a crawl. So I am unable to stream videos and podcasts. I am sure there are others out there with similar situations, So any time you can provide a written transcript for videos or podcasts that would really be a blessing!
Future Topics:
Can you do an entire video solely to answer subscriber questions? Thank you 🙏 for all you do.
Love this idea!
I enjoy all Tipping Point articles you write and video, you give us such great information on where we are in time. Thank You so much

As a member, where do I go to get your book “Where are the Missing People?” Is there anywhere other than Amazon to get that?
