The God That Answers by Fire

I’m going to take the liberty this week to tell you about two new books I’ve just released, both available on Amazon in Kindle and print editions. They are part of my Patreon project, in which I teach Bible prophecy in a little different way. By that I mean, I focus almost exclusively on prophecies already fulfilled, rather than future topics (such as the antichrist and Mark of the Beast). It’s true that others do those topics much better than I can; guys like Mark Hitchcock and Jeff Kinley are stellar.

In addition to these two books, The God That Answers by Fire, and Zechariah 2, I will be re-releasing It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I feel fine) soon.

Although these books are small—I’m very honestly trying to provide amazing information in smaller packages, giving people every reason to read a book—they took 18 months to prepare and publish, and are the result of many trips to Israel and much research. I have always enjoyed doing hands-on, original research, so that I have visited the places I write about, adding authenticity to the writing.

The God That Answers by Fire looks at seven prophecies: five have been fulfilled, one is being fulfilled, and one is yet future. Again, I’m focusing on things you might not have heard before. If you like these books, consider writing a review on Amazon, but more importantly, share them with your kids, nephews, nieces, and anyone else searching for the meaning to life. It is my contention, the foundation of my work, that anyone can find God by learning about Bible prophecy—God revealing history in advance.

All of Scripture points to Jesus Christ as our Redeemer.

And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Revelation 19:10)

The catalyst for The God That Answers was a visit to Mount Carmel in northern Israel, the site of Elijah’s spiritual duel with the 400 prophets of Baal. I read the account in 1 Kings 18, right there where it happened. Intrigued by the story, I began thinking. As God sent fire from heaven that day, consuming the altar, I believe He is answering us today, revealing Himself as the only true God.

For those of us that believe, this is obvious. But it isn’t obvious to many people in your life. Co-workers, relatives, friends. And people from all walks of life wonder at some point if God is real.

Bible prophecy is proof of God’s existence.

I have also been thinking of the story of my friend, Vic Kennett, founder and CEO of Kerusso, the world’s largest Christian apparel company. I’ve known him for years. In 2012, he published Change Your Shirt, Change the World, and in it, details his own story of coming to the Lord. Bible prophecy was the catalyst. Identifying as an atheist in junior high(!), Vic went to a garage sale with his mother and there paid a quarter for a copy of Hal Lindsey’s The Late Great Planet Earth. He told me that he couldn’t explain away Bible prophecy. A few years later, he started Kerusso, which just celebrated selling 50 million t-shirts! Each one has a scripture that shares the Gospel. An amazing story, and all because God can reveal history in advance.

For those seeking the meaning of life, for peace, to fill the hole within (Ecclesiastes 3:11), I think fulfilled prophecy from the Bible is that path. It is the greatest evangelism tool we have today, and while the field is white unto harvest, very few pastors and churches teach prophecy. This is a tragedy.

So I focus on these amazing prophecies and provide some detail you have not heard before. My visit to the Israeli neighborhood of Mishkenot Sha’ananim, just west of Jerusalem’s Old City, will astonish you. It is also the focus of the entire short book, Zechariah 2.

Zechariah 2 focuses on the first neighborhood built outside Jerusalem’s Old City walls, in the 1860s. It fulfilled the prophecy from the second chapter of Zechariah, recorded 2,500 years ago. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Zechariah 2 is the first in a series of booklets (50 pages) that I plan. I’m already writing the second and third installments, and each is filled with color photos and images that illustrate the topic. Most photos are mine.

These books are perfect for small groups, or any gathering of people studying the Bible. I have also priced them below the retail prices of most books. This is another effort to make the books accessible to anyone.

I appreciate you having a look. I have a lot of readers from RaptureReady. I’ve heard from thousands of you over the last 20 years. You are my best source for helping distribute these books. I will be promoting these for a long time, and I appreciate your partnership!

Finally, I would ask that you consider becoming a monthly subscriber to my Patreon page. Some join for free, but there is also an option for you to contribute a small amount each month; this helps me continue my work. Under the “Join for free” tab you’ll see another, “See membership options.” You can contribute $5 per month, $20 per month, or another amount if you choose. For that, use the $20 button and you’ll see instructions for a different amount. This gives you access to each article, podcast, and newsletter I produce. You will also have access to an ebook for each new title I publish. Give it prayerful consideration, and I thank you.

The Weak West

I listened this week to a horrifying podcast interview between Tucker Carlson and his guest, Tony Aguilar, who both accused Israel of war crimes in the Gaza Strip.

Then this morning I watched a press conference between Vice President J.D. Vance and British Foreign Minister David Lammy. Both lamented the “suffering” in Gaza, but they only referred to the Arabs. The obligatory reference to the “hostages” came from both of them, but so also did they talk about their main goal: Ceasefire.

Look, if the goal isn’t to eradicate Hamas, then our leadership is amateurish. If you’re upset that I’m criticizing Vance, as usual, my only interest here is the Jews of Israel. If we as a country don’t make supporting our ally and biblical brethren the top priority, we’re doing it wrong. And hang on; here’s more shock for you: In 2028, Vance makes me nervous. I just don’t seem him as a reliable, principled leader. Trump isn’t perfect of course, but we are not likely to see his type again.

In any case, as they wrapped up their meeting in the UK by chattering about the “ceasefire.” As if Hamas is a co-equal in this. Do you know what I keep uppermost in my mind regarding all this?

October 7.

That day, Hamas—along with a bunch of regular Arabs living in Gaza—broke through border fencing and proceeded to slaughter over 1,000 Israelis. Women raped to death. Mutilated. Tortured before execution. Children murdered in front of their parents. Parents murdered in front of their children. Whole families burned to death. On and on.

Anyone, especially in leadership, that doesn’t keep that uppermost in their minds when dealing with the devils of Gaza is immoral too. People I literally want nothing to do with.

Even as the Israeli cabinet this week made the decision to go in and finish the job, they were basically forced to continue talking about feeding their enemies. Whoever heard of this before, in all of history? Once Third Army crossed the Rhine in 1945, did they feed the Nazis? Did the ancient Assyrians that slaughtered Israelites feed them at the same time?

From the illegitimate Biden Regime, to the current moment, Israel has been hamstrung. The IDF would have solved this problem within a year if the useful idiots from the West hadn’t used their diplomacy to prevent the defeat of Hamas. And the worst? The blood of hostages is on the hands of these Western gargoyles; they have caused untold misery for the Jews captured by these devils. Almost 1,000 Israeli soldiers killed. Netanyahu’s resilience is legendary, but the guy has earned his pay the last two years.

Now, I do think Trump has given Israel a greenlight to finish the job. Again, I think he understands the situation better than most (although I do not think he understands the threat of Islam. How can we be cozying up to terror-supporting Qatar?). Yet now, the UK, France, Germany, and Australia have stated that they will “recognize” a Palestinian state by September if Israel doesn’t shape up (capitulate). This odious policy is lunacy.

What state will they recognize? On what territory? Who is able to dislodge the Israelis from the territory claimed by the Arabs for a 23^rd state in the Middle East? The UN of course is going along with this madness.

Think about the chutzpah involved here. GERMANY demanding the Jews agree to establish a terror state next door. Macron and Starmer are historically weak leaders of France and Great Britain. It’s hard to believe that Starmer lives at 10 Downing St., the same place Churchill called home. The contrast couldn’t be starker.

(Meanwhile, in an election cycle, Starmer’s staff posts on his X account how “tough” he is on immigration. It’s a direct lie, but that’s the dystopian world we live in.)

Of course, I’d be in error if I didn’t also mention the weak Carney of Canada. He is another left-wing subversive bent on destroying the West. People often ask me what is their motivation, and aren’t they afraid of Muslim terrorists, the ones they pacify? Well, I firmly believe that a ton of dirty money is part motivation. Plus, “leaders” like this do not fear personal violence. They’d be spirited away if violence breaks out. They aren’t going to be in harm’s way.

Aside from Trump, the West is burdened by historically bad leadership. Israel is bearing the brunt of that, yes, but we know from the Bible that Israel will be fine. Divinely protected.

Not so everyone else.
