Who is the Antichrist? Part 4 – His military career
What is the Antichrist military connection? But when we come to verses 40 through 45 of Daniel 11, we have the military career of the Antichrist being revealed. Verse 40 says, “And at the time of the end”—this is going to be in the future tribulation—“shall the king of the south push at him, and…
My Response to God’s Gift
It should come as no surprise to you that we at the John Ankerberg Show would focus our attention on God’s incredible gift as described in John 3:16 during this Christmas season. This is such a familiar verse that you might be tempted to just skip over it instead of reading it. But don’t! Here…
Loved and Accepted in Christ
In his book Galatians For You, Timothy Keller says that the gospel is “the message that we are more wicked than we ever dared believe, but more loved and accepted in Christ than we ever dared hope….”[1] Let’s start with the bad news. Few of us truly understand how much our sin offends our holy…
The Gift of the Cross
“Every religion and ideology,” writes John Stott, “has its visual symbol, which illustrates a significant feature of its history or beliefs.”[1] Few doubt that the cross is the most recognizable symbol of Christianity today.

The Rebuilding of the Jewish Temple and the Signs of the Times
The temple is a place of worship for the Jewish people and is where God typically manifests Himself to His people. We know that the Jewish temple will be rebuilt during the tribulation period because Daniel 9:27 speaks of the sacrifices that will be offered in the temple during the first half of this period. …
The Rapture Is Before the Tribulation Period
When is the rapture? The rapture is that glorious event when the dead in Christ will rise, living Christians will be instantly translated into their glorified bodies, and both groups will be caught up to meet Christ in the air and taken back to heaven (John 14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:51-54; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17).
