What I love most about this post is the incredible hard work, research, and Bible understanding you have poured into our lives through the Tipping Point.

I can confidently say I’m pretrib & premil ...and actually understand for the first time what that really means. Pastor Jimmy, you never force a belief on your readers but you put forth the Word of God and teaching for us to gain understanding. You’ve been doing this for 40+ years and (we can all agree here) highly respected! What I thought was so interesting in this post was all these different interpretations & all the disagreements are a work of Satan. Yes, “If we’re confused about our “Blessed Hope,” it doesn’t feel nearly as blessed.” Satan is a devouring lion and we must stand firm and put on our armor! I’m asking the Holy Spirit to open our eyes, ears, heart, and mind to supernaturally discern when we hear something wonky about end times teaching. I’m looking up.... and the stunning diamonds are sparkling brightly! God is SO good! Maranatha!

Jimmy, First I want you to know your teaching has become such a blessing to me and me being secure in my salvation... I grew up church of Christ and by the grace of God I was brought to be baptized into the Holy Spirit last October. My testimony brings tears to my eyes. However how are we to interpret scripture for instance my wife and I got into a debate on creation is it literal days or millions of years? ... I worry like you say if we interpret wrong our theology is wrong and can become heretical . With love ... james

Pastor Jimmy... I have said before and I will say it again, I love your teaching. Maybe it's just me being an old woman but this article was so confusing to me... (I know Satan is not bound, cuz as the originator of confusion, he was alive and well in this one...lol) I'm just going to pass on this one & not say anymore, as I would only add more confusion to something I know nothing about. Come Lord Jesus, come quick...

You are right. All this can get confusing. It is easy to get lost, which is why I like to hang out on this Blog so I can sharpen my understanding of the end times. God wants us to know our Future with Him before and after the Rapture! Even the 12 Disciples wanted to know, so He explained it to them using the Scriptures. The truest thing you said today, for me, was that if you are confused about our Blessed Hope, it doesn’t feel nearly as blessed. And I would add that you are not as much fun to talk to as well. The problem is, many Christians and Churches are the “Kingdom Now” variety. This has made me quite crazy over the years. No one to talk to.... But, life goes on, so I have learned to do my best with the Churches I think are good in spite of, in order to still have Christian Fellowship. They are still Christians and Jesus loves them just like He does me. Sometimes I wonder why He let this happen? Don’t know. Ideally they learn from us and we learn from them, at this point. They know lots about the HS and the greater gifts.... That I like. So, because it is somewhat confusing, I keep it simple. I am pretrib and premill. The whole Dispensational part is pretty important too. I have had to learn their language in order to learn what they know. I am still waiting for them to learn mine. That’s why this Blog is so important. They will thank you as they are flying toward Heaven, that you gave them just a moment’s warning.... Thank you Jesus, for a knowledge of the Scriptures about the end times. And thank You for Jimmy Evans.

I've been hearing quite a bit about a "kingdom now" teaching. Does this fall under an Amillennialistic view? Thank you again for your posts and teachings.

Thank you for clarity and perspective on Bible prophecy. I am reading through the Gospel of Mark and I am amazed how to decipels had so little faith after seeing all the miracles of Christ. Even after the mountain of configuration Peter still denied Christ three times. I always try to live myself into their shoes and wondered what their state of mind was or what where there perspective of the Messiah as they always struggled to understand Jesus when He prophesied about the cross? Their perspective on things were not in line with the Word of God - as Isaiah prophesied the Cross already and they learned it in Jewish schools - i assume. Nonetheless likewise I feel sorry that many members of the Body of Christ loose their faith or struggle to contextualise current events due to lack of knowledge and clear perspective!! My wife and I, from this year, are working with the help of the Holy Spirit to have clear vision in the midst of chaos!! I see the future and even if the earth get sliced in two I see Christ our Messiah, the Hope of Glory!! I see us on the clouds with the Lord Jesus Christ no matter the circumstances!! Ps Jimmy when we are in Heaven and you see a random guy walking up to you to shake your hand just know its one of many people’s life’s you impacted through your faithfulness and devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ!!

Pastor Jimmy,

My husband and I have been reading Revelation together and in Chapter 18, in reference to Babylon, who is it pertaining to? It appears to be describing the United States. Thank you.

Thanks, Jimmy, as always, and praise God! This is a great summary. I find this view offensive, personally: if Satan is bound, his leash is way too long (as Chuck Missler would say)!

Pastor Jimmy - I don’t understand a lot about the 1000 year reign that takes place after the tribulation. You referenced Isaiah 65:17-25. Does this mean as Christians we also live with Christ on the new earth in addition to Christians that are beheaded for their faith during the tribulation? And do we still experience death during this time period? Also, do you think the babies that are mentioned in this passage could be babies that were aborted and then reign with Christ on the new earth?

Thank you Pastor Jimmy for this blog post! Definitely learned a lot that will help with future conversations and a reference to point back to.

Question, I just read Daniel 7 and a thought popped into my head about these 4 beasts...

Totally curious if these 4 beasts are pertaining to the 4 Industrial Revolutions along with the world leaders that gained power from it?

I know we're seeing signs of the approaching 4th Industrial Revolution with the Great Reset/World Economic Forum/Davos and it seems like it's pointing to the one-world government with the Antichrist appearing. I've noticed a trend or blood-line of certain "leaders" that have been part of these industrial revolutions. I'm curious if you have any insight in your past posts that you've shared about Daniel 7?
