Many Christians avoid Bible prophecy, seeing it as confusing, speculative or irrelevant. This article challenges believers to move beyond personal disinterest and see God’s revelation of the future as a source of strength, not fear. It exposes common barriers like fear and misunderstanding, reminding readers that Bible prophecy is about hope, obedience, and living with with an eternal perspective.

A study of verses 17 to 20 of Revelation 1. In this study I look into what Jesus means by the "keys of Hades and of Death" and what having these "keys" signified in the Greco-Roman world. I then end chapter 1 by looking at the interpretation for the seven stars and seven golden lampstands.
A study of verses 8 to 16 of Revelation 1. This study heavily focuses on John's vision of the glorified Jesus as well as the similarities we see described to us regarding Jesus' appearance and that of a "certain man" in Daniel 10.
An introduction to the book of Revelation. In this first episode to the series, I tackle some key questions to lay the groundwork for the rest of the study. "Who wrote Revelation?" "What's the genre of Revelation?" "When was Revelation Written?" "How is Revelation interpreted?" And "Who was Revelation Written to?"

In this episode, I go over the events beyond the blessed hope (the rapture of the church). At the rapture we'll get our glorified bodies then we'll be taken to heaven to take part in the Judgment Seat of Christ (the Bema seat judgment). What follows will be the marriage of the lamb and the marriage supper of the lamb, Jesus's Second Coming and our return with Him, the Millennial Reign of Christ, and finally, the eternal state.
An overview of the Millennium (Millennial Reign of Christ). I start the episode by defining the millennium and ask key questions such as "What happens during the millennium?" "What happens after the millennium?" and "What is the purpose of the millennium?"
I also take a brief look at the varying views of the millennium: premillennialism, amillennialism, and postmillennialism. This episode will give you a solid overview of this thousand-year reign of Christ.
An overview of the tribulation period. I start the episode by defining the tribulation and the other names its known by: Daniel's 70th Week, Jacob's Trouble, and the Day of the Lord. Then I address questions such as "What is the tribulation?" "What is the abomination of desolation?" and "What is the purpose of the tribulation?" to help us better understand what Scripture says about this time.
