The Dream of a United States of Europe

'WorldWatch' by David C. Grabbe

Birth rates, defense expenditures, welfare spending vs. wealth creation — everything we use to gauge the health of empires suggests that Europe's fire has gone out.


Nebuchadnezzar's Image (Part Four): Iron and Clay

'Prophecy Watch' by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The fourth empire of Daniel 2 is explained further in Daniel 7 as a terrifying beast. This empire and its horns play a role down to the return of Christ!


The Book of Daniel (Part Two)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

The circumstances surrounding Nebuchadnezzar's dream set the stage for God's revelation of His power, plan, and prophetic intentions (through His servants).


The Bible—Superstition or Authority?

Herbert W. Armstrong Booklet

Why do the many churches disagree about what the Bible says? Have you ever proved whether it is the authoritative Word of the Creator God?


What's So Bad About Babylon? (2013) (Part One)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Because Babylon is a system, we cannot physically flee it. We have to flee by keeping our minds clean from the customs, traditions, and cultural influences.


Things Which Cannot Be Shaken

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

All worldly institutions will be shaken, including America. Only the everlasting word of God and ultimate establishment of the Kingdom will never be moved.


The Beast and Babylon (Part Two)

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

Currently, Europe is not looking very Beastly. Babylon is the world's anti-God system, and Roman institutions inspire Israelite culture even today.


The Book of Daniel (Part Five)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Daniel 7-8 is full of overlapping images and visions. Both chapters show the certainty of the end of Gentile kingdoms, replaced by God's eternal Kingdom.


A Growing Divide

'Prophecy Watch' by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

America and Europe have been moving away from each other politically, economically, and culturally. How does this affect our understanding of prophecy?


The Second Exodus (Part One)

'Prophecy Watch' by David C. Grabbe

The Bible tells us that the time is coming when God will regather Israel to the Land of Promise, a greater Exodus than that from the Land of Egypt.


The Symmetry of History (Part One)

'Prophecy Watch' by Charles Whitaker (1944-2021)

A survey of history reveals patterns of human and national behaviors that tend to repeat themselves at certain intervals.


The Intertestamental Period

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

The Intertestamental Period spans approximately 400 years from Malachi to the appearance of John the Baptist, creating the environment for Christ's ministry.


The Beast and Babylon (Part Three): Who Is the Woman?

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

Is the Woman depicted in Revelation 12 the church, as the church has dogmatically taught? Or is she another prophetic entity that is active today?


The Unshakable Kingdom!

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Because all things will be violently shaken, God commands His people to place their trust in the unshakeable Kingdom of God which will displace all empires.


What Happened Between the Testaments?

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

The Inter-Testamental period, approximately 400 years between the time of Malachi and Matthew, was a time of intense political and intellectual fermentation.


Prophets and Prophecy (Part Three)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

John the Baptist fulfilled the prophecy of the 'Elijah to come.' We must apply duality of prophecy carefully and cautiously rather than indiscriminately.


The Book of Daniel (Part Eight)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Several types of the abomination of desolation have occurred in history, including the desecration of the temple by Antiochus Epiphanes and the Roman legions.
