Gary Wilkerson and Joshua West explore the end times, Israel, and how believers should approach apocalyptic portions of scripture.
As Christians in Paul’s day sensed the destruction of Jerusalem drawing near, they wanted to know more about prophetic events.

“Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord” (Lamentations 3:40, KJV).
Crisis moments require us to be courageous enough to deal with the issues of our day and, more importantly, those that lie within our own hearts. It is time for an appraisal. Not of our assets, not of our property. We need to probe deeper. It is time for us to stop and seriously consider where we are headed. Are you and I prepared for what is coming? Do we have resident within us what we need to face the coming days?

The New Testament church was born in a blaze of glory. The Holy Spirit came down upon it with fire, and the first Christians spoke with tongues and prophesied. The fear of God fell upon them and upon all who saw them, and multitudes were converted. It was a triumphant church, unafraid of Satan, irreverent toward idols, unmoved by plagues or persecution. It was a blood-washed church, living and dying in victory.
