>>What is going to be the chronology of end time events?
Will the Rapture occur before the Tribulation begins, or
will it be during the Tribulation, or perhaps at the
end of it? And if it is before the Tribulation, then does it
trigger the Tribulation, or will there be events between
the Rapture and the Tribulation? And where does
the War of Gog and Magog fit into all of these end time
events? For a fascinating discussion of these and other
questions about chronology, stay tuned for an interview
with Ron Rhodes who is a prolific Bible prophecy
author.
>>[music] >>Lamb and Lion Ministries presents
Christ in Prophecy, a program that focuses on the
fundamentals of Bible prophecy, showing how current
events in the news relate to Biblical predictions of end
time events and the soon return of Jesus. Now, here's
your host, Dr. David Reagan.
>>Greetings in the name of
Jesus, our Blessed Hope, and welcome to Christ in Prophecy.
I am delighted to have as our special guest this week, Dr.
Ron Rhodes, who is a prolific writer and a very good one. He
writes about many spiritual topics, including Bible
prophecy. Welcome to Christ in Prophecy for what the third,
fourth, fifth or sixth time? It is a lot. >>I've stopped
counting, but it is pleasure to be here. >>Well, it is
always a joy to have you. >>It is sir, always good to have
you on. >>Thank you, Nathan. >>And I also want to introduce
to you our Web Minister and co-host of this program, also
an Associate Evangelist for Lamb & Lion Ministries and
that is Nathan Jones. Nathan how about you kicking off this
program by introducing our guest? >>I'd be honored to.
I'd be honored to. Folks, if you are regular viewers of our
program, then you're already familiar with Dr. Ron Rhodes
because he has been our guest on this program as Dr. Reagan
said several times. He's the founder and director of a
ministry called "Reasoning from the Scriptures." His
ministry is located in Frisco, Texas and it specializes in
defending Christianity against atheists, agnostics, skeptics,
the cults, world religions, and any group that teaches
false doctrine. He is also an expert in the field of Bible
prophecy, and he has written many, many books about what
the Bible has to say about the end times, including this
particular one, "The End Times in Chronological Order." >>You
know Ron I found out something interesting out about you
recently. In fact I found out a lot of things interesting
about you. But one in particular and that is that
your publisher Harvest House recently awarded you the
Harvest Gold Award for selling over 1 million books. In fact
we have a photo of your receiving that award from the
president of Harvest House, Bob Hawkins. Congratulations
to you. >>Oh, thank you. I'm humbled to have received that
award. >>And a million copies. How many books have you
written now? >>It's over 70. I stopped counting. But I really
love what I'm doing. In fact it is so wonderful to be able
to serve the Lord in this capacity. >>Yes, well, we love
your books, and this one in particular, "The End Times in
Chronological Order." I wanted to introduce it to our viewers
because this is one of the most complex aspects of Bible
prophecy. >>Yes. >>Nowhere in the Bible does it says, "OK,
folks, now here's what's going to happen in the end times,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10." It just doesn't do that. You
almost have to be a sleuth. It's like putting together a
jigsaw puzzle. And you've got to get the Old Testament
involved which most Christian don't know in order to
understand the New and understand this chronology.
Talk to us in general about chronology. >>Well, let me
just give you an example to show what the problem is. In
2 Corinthians chapter 5 we read about the earthly body which
is compared to a tent, and then we read about the
resurrection body which is compared to a building. Now
the text says that when our tent gets knocked down in
death we receive a building from God, a brand new
resurrection body. So some people conclude from that,
that well, as soon as you die you get your resurrection body
immediately. But then wait a minute. Other scholars look at
verses like 2 Corinthians 5:8 which says that to be apart
from the body is to at home with the Lord. And the Apostle
Paul in Philippians 1:21-23 where Paul expressed his
desire to depart and be with Christ in Heaven. And they say
well you know it seems like we have a period where we are
disembodied spirits before we get our resurrection bodies.
And this illustrates what you're talking about. You have
a couple of different passages. And what you have to
do Dave, is to consult all the verses that deal with the
topic, compare them with each other and make sure they don't
contradict. Now, here's why it's important not to
contradict. All Scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit,
and the Spirit is the spirit of truth. The Spirit of Truth
does not contradict Himself. And so therefore your best
option is to compare all the verses, on all the topics and
come up with a cohesive viewpoint that explains all of
it. >>That's so much work. >>It is. >>And particularly
you have to also get into the Old Testament which most
Christians simply ignore. >>Yeah, well you know what?
The Bible is about one-fourth Bible prophecy. Now that means
that it is something you can't ignore. If Bible prophecy was
1% of the Bible it would still be important. But if it is
over 25% of the Bible is prophetic at the time it was
written that means that God wants us to understand things.
And you might remember in the New Testament Jesus chastised
the Jewish leaders for not understanding the signs of the
times. I wonder if Jesus would say that to some Christians
today if He were speaking to us. >>Well let me give you an
example of a problem of chronology. >>Sure. >>I grew
up in a denomination that was Amillennial. We hardly ever
heard any preaching about Bible prophecy. And when we
did it was mainly the sermon that said, "There is not one
verse in the Bible that even implies that Jesus will ever
put His feet on this earth again." I heard that 100 times
when I was a kid. And one of the verses that they used for
this was 2 Peter chapter 3, and there in verse 10 which
says, "But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in
which the heavens will pass away with a roar, and elements
will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its
works will be burned up." They said, "See there, the Day of
the Lord that is when Jesus comes back. He comes back.
When He comes back the earth is consumed with fire. It
doesn't say anything about an earthly reign." >>Well that's
a good verse to use for that position, but, I think it is
easily explainable. You see the term Day of the Lord is
sometimes misconstrued to basically refer only to the
Tribulation period. >>Or to the day the Lord is going to
return, sometimes it's used that way. >>Well, that's
right. It could be used that way. But you know some of my
old mentors like Charles Ryrie, who I believe has been
on your program and Dwight Pentecost helped me to
understand that it also extends through the Millennial
Kingdom. And so when you're referring to the Day of the
Lord it begins with the Tribulation but it extends all
the way through the Millennial Kingdom, and then there's a
new heavens and a new earth. Now that makes perfect sense
from the perspective of Revelation 20 and 21 because
in Revelation 20 it talks about the Millennial Kingdom.
And then in Revelation 21 it starts out by saying, "Then I
saw a new heavens, and a new earth." And you got to watch
out for those "thens". >>Oh, yes. >>Those "thens" are
chronological clues. >>Well, using this verse though to
prove that there's not going to be a Millennium is a
classic example of saying you ignore everything else the
Bible is saying. >>Well that's right. >>It illustrates what I
said earlier and that is that scripture interprets scripture
you have to consult all the verses which deal with this.
And there are a lot of other verses that talk about the
fact that not only will Christ rule in Jerusalem, you know
this is a fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant, 2 Samuel 7.
And there will be specific land promises that will be
fulfilled for Israel that is the Abrahamic Covenant,
Genesis 12. And the fact is that Christ will come again
physically to this earth. His feet will touch the Mount of
Olives. He will judge the nations according to Matthew
25:31-46. And He will set up His Millennial Kingdom on this
earth. And here is something to think about Dave, all the
Old Testament prophecies that point forward to the First
Coming were fulfilled literally. >>Yes. >>You know
the fact that Christ was going to be virgin born, Isaiah
7:14. Pierced for our sins, Zechariah 12:10. Born in
Bethlehem, Micah 5:2. All the prophecies dealing with the
Second Coming and beyond will also be fulfilled literally.
>>Well that's another thing when I was growing up they
told me, "Well, you got to understand that all Bible
prophecy is apocalyptic." I thought that was an illness or
something, a disease, but it was apocalyptic and it never
means what it says. >>No. Well, I would disagree with
that. There are symbols for example in the book of
Revelation but right there in the context of Revelation most
of those symbols get defined for us. For example you do see
a reference to seven lampstands, but then the text
tells us those seven lampstands represent seven
churches. >>Right. >>Or you might read about a bowl of
incense and then the text tells us, "This bowl of
incense represents the prayers of the Saints coming up before
God." And so, yes, there are symbols, but the symbols are
defined for us, and all those symbols represent literal
truth. >>Well, my turn around with Bible prophecy occurred
with the book of Zechariah because I discovered when I
was 12 years old I discovered Zechariah 14. And I just
couldn't believe it. I took it to my pastor and I said, "You
say that Jesus will never put His feet on the earth again.
This chapter says He's coming to the Mount of Olives, when
His foot touches the Mount of Olives it will split in half."
And he sat there and he read it, and he read it, and he
read it. I don't think he'd ever read it before. And
finally he looked up and he put his finger in my face and
he said, "Son, I want to tell you something, I don't know
what this means but I can guarantee you one thing it
doesn't mean what it says." In fact I was in a public
discussion before 2,000 people one time in Cincinnati where
the fella took the position, he was an Amillennialist and
all I used was Zechariah 14 because I knew they were
focused on Revelation 20. >>Sure. >>And he got up and he
made this comment, he said, "I don't know what Zechariah
means. I have no idea. But I'll guarantee you one thing
it has been fulfilled sometime, somewhere in history
because all Old Testament prophecy has been fulfilled."
>>Well, Ron I want to get into a real deep subject here, a
lot of debate is the timing of the Rapture. So after the
break let's ask you about that. >>OK, sounds good.
>>First we are going to take a brief break and when we come
back we are going start bombarding Ron with more tough
questions. Particularly I want to know about the timing of
the Rapture.
>>[music]
>>Welcome back to Christ in
Prophecy and our interview with Dr. Ron Rhodes. Nathan
why don't you kick off this segment. >>Well I want to get
back into the Rapture. Does it happen before the Tribulation?
In the middle of the Tribulation? Or after the
Tribulation. >>Well, I think it happens before. >>Before.
>>And I base that on the Bible. Did you know that in
Revelation 2 and 3 we read about the Church 19 times? And
then in the discussion on the Tribulation in chapter 4-18
you don't see the Church a single time. It is gone. In
1 Thessalonians 1:10 we are told that the Church is to be
delivered from the wrath to come. That word delivered
literally means snatched. Snatched away from. We are to
be snatched away from the wrath to come which is a
reference to the Tribulation Period. >>Because some people
say that just means Hell wrath. But you're saying wrath
could also be Tribulation. >>Well, no, it has a definite
article in front of it. In English the definite article
that doesn't mean that much. But in the original Greek it
does. Anybody that has doubts about that should read Daniel
Wallace's "Greek Grammar" lots of good information on the
definite article there. >>I'll pass. >>I think I'll pass. >>I
won't get Greek on you. But the fact is, is that the
definite article is defining a specific period of wrath that
is yet to come. And so the Church is going to be snatched
out of that. And that's in keeping with 1 Thessalonians
5:9 which says that the Church is not appointed to wrath but
to salvation in Jesus Christ. >>But what about the fact that
all through the passages about the Tribulation there is
reference to saints? >>Well, that's a good question. I
think that Christians, the Bride of Christ, the Church
will be raptured before the Tribulation. But there's going
to be many people who become believers during the
Tribulation. And I think that's the result of several
things. You've got the 144,000 Jewish witnesses of Revelation
7 and 14, and they'll be taking the Gospel planet wide.
You've got the two prophetic witnesses of Revelation 11 who
will have the same powers as Moses and Elijah, and many
believe that it will be Moses and Elijah, and many will
believe because of that. And certainly the Holy Spirit will
still be at work bringing about regeneration among
people. And then finally there is still going to be a lot of
books left behind, and Dave Reagan television shows left
behind. >>And I'm telling everybody to put in front of
their Bible the plan of salvation because these people
are not going to have time to read the whole thing. >>Well,
that's right and so there is going to be a tremendous
harvest according to Revelation. >>Plus there is
going to be a Gospel Angel at the end that is going to
circumnavigate the globe. >>That's right. But you know
Revelation 7 says there is going to be a great multitude
of believers. So, yeah, there is going to be a lot of people
who become believers during that time. >>Where do you fit
in the War of Gog of Magog in all these end time events?
Because the Bible does not say specifically when that is
going to occur. >>Well, I believe that is going to
happen in the end times. And number one and I say that
because in Ezekiel 36-39 it says that it is going to take
place in the last days and the later years. >>Right. >>That
always points to the end times. And then the scriptures
do give us some chronological clues. For example the text
says specifically that first Israel must become born again
as a nation. And then Ezekiel says, Jewish people from all
over the world, from all the countries of the world must
flow back to the Holy Land. We've been seeing that every
decade since Israel became a nation again. And then there
is going to be a coalition of nations that arise against
Israel including Russia, Iran, Turkey, Sudan, Libya, and the
nations around the Black Sea there. >>Yeah, right out of
the-- >>That is exactly right. In fact Russia now has an
alliance with Iran. It has an alliance with Libya. Turkey
has been with NATO but recently, this year Turkey has
been moving away from NATO and buddying up with Putin over in
Russia, and so we see the stage being set for all of
this. >>Well it is clear that it is going to be in the end
times. And when I say that the timing is not given I'm
talking about the precise timing. >>Right. >>Is it going
to be before the Tribulation? At the beginning? In the
middle? When is it going to happen? >>Well here's a
chronological problem and I'm going to try to explain it
real clear. It hinges on when Israel is in the state of
peace and security. Now some people say that that peace and
security comes from the covenant that the Antichrist
signs with Israel which starts the Tribulation period. >>That
is surely the historical position. >>That's right. Now
there is another position that a lot of people hold to, and I
think it's got good credence to it that Israel's state of
security could be due to its own military and its air
force. And if that was the case then this invasion
wouldn't have to wait until the Tribulation begins but
could actually take place a number of years before the
Tribulation. But it is real clear that it's the end times
though. >>Well in fact you have written a very
outstanding book about this called-- >>"Northern Storm
Rising." >>Love that book. >>I highly recommend it to people.
It's all about the Gog Magog War. >>All about the Gog Magog
and I give a best-- >>If I remember right you concluded
that most likely it might occur 3 ½ years before the
Tribulation begins. >>Well, you know it really does open
up some convenience if I might put it that way because if God
destroys the Muslim invaders prior to the Tribulation,
number one it makes it much easier for the Antichrist to
sign a covenant protecting Israel. Number two it makes it
much easier for Israel to rebuilt its temple. Right now
there is too much Muslim resistance. But if the Muslim
invaders are taken out that would make it easier. Third it
would make it much easier for the false religion to emerge
in the end times because the two primary people groups that
would stand against that false religion are now removed.
Christians are removed at the Rapture. Muslims are taken out
at the Ezekiel invasion. >>It also solves another problem
and that is that it says that the Israeli's are going to
spend what? Seven years cleaning up the battlefield.
>>That's exactly right. >>They are not going to be there
after the middle of it. >>Well they are going to be burning
weapons for seven years. And here's the problem: How's it
possible that Israel could burn the weapons for seven
years if it starts at the beginning of the Tribulation
because right in the middle of the Tribulation the Antichrist
claims to be God, and he sets up his headquarters there and
he even sits in the temple there. And Jesus says, "When
that happens don't even pack your bags get out of town. Run
for your lives." Now that seems to indicate they're not
going to have time to grab all those weapons. So that would
seem to indicate that they start burning those weapons
prior to the Tribulation. >>Well, let me raise another
question of chronology with you it has to do with our
friend Bill Salus who is a Bible prophecy writer also.
>>Sure. Sure. >>And he has come out with a new book, it's
just come out in which he is taking a unique position. He's
talking--the book focuses on the period between the Rapture
and beginning of the Tribulation. And the first
point he makes is that the Rapture does not start the
Tribulation. Which I think we would agree with. >>Sure.
>>But there is going to be a period of time and he says
that period of time is going to be several years. And he
says there just not enough time in the seven year
Tribulation for all that the Bible describes. So he takes
the Seal Judgments out and puts them into this period of
time, this gap between the Rapture and beginning of the
Tribulation. What are the problems with that? >>Well,
the big problem that I have with that is that the three
sets of judgments in Tribulation seem to belong
together and they're cohesive. You've got the Seal Judgments,
Trumpet Judgments, and Bowl Judgments. And here's the
thing in the Old Testament this day of Tribulation is
typically called the day of the wrath of the Lord. For
example Zephaniah chapter 1, "The day of the wrath of the
Lord." So that defines it as a specific period during which
God's wrath is poured out. Now wait a minute. We know that
the Seal Judgments are an out pouring of God's wrath. We
know that because it's the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ who
opens it each seal that leaves to the unleashing of a new
judgment. So that's the wrath of God. You know there's 1.8
billion people that die during one of those judgments. How
can you possibly say that that is not part of the
Tribulation? And then furthermore I think all of
those judgments can take place rather quickly. You've got the
emergence of the Antichrist seal number one. And then
number two war breaks out. And then famine breaks out which
is a natural result of war. And then death occurs on a
planetary basis. And then you've got many, many martyrs
and cosmic signs, you know the sun turning dark, the moon
turning dark and stuff like that. There is no reason to
say that that cannot take place in the first half of the
Tribulation period. >>Well, I think that it can. I think
that the Antichrist is going to launch a war to take over
the whole world. And it seems to me like that this war that
he starts morphs into a nuclear war. >>Yeah.
>>One-third of the earth being burned and all. >>Well, you
know to me I look at conventional wars like World
War I which had about 15 million people die. World War
II closer to 60 million. And that is by conventional war.
>>Yeah. >>You know it is hard to kill 1.8 billion people by
conventional war. And it seems to be like there may be
weapons of mass destruction. Let me tell you another
problem I have with this idea, and that is that it really
violates the integrity of Daniel's 70th Week. I mean the
Lord says I'm going to accomplish certain things
among the Jewish people in a period of 70 weeks of years.
We've got one last seven years to go. And when you start
moving those out those are supposed to be part of that
last seven years. >>Well, that's right. And I might
mention to you that just in terms of chronology that seven
year period spoken of in Daniel 9:27 you ought to
compare that with Revelation 11 and 12 because the seven
year period is confirmed there because we have several
reference to half of the Tribulation, 3 ½ years each.
There is a reference to 42 months. There is a reference
to 1,160 days. There is the reference to times, times, and
half a time. Times is two years. A time is one year.
And half a time is a half a year. And those various
references to either the first or second half of the
Tribulation confirm the 7 year period during which all of
this unfolds. And from my perspective when John is
recording the book of Revelation and he says right
there in chapter 4, verse 1, he says, "After this--" keep
in mind that in Revelation 1:19 the Lord had given John
an outline of the book of Revelation. And he indicated
that starting in chapter 4 that's going to be prophetic
in nature and all of this stuff is to follow in close
concert with each other. So to me it just makes great sense
to see the Seal Judgments, and the Trumpet Judgments, and the
Bowl Judgements as cohesive. They get worse as time goes on
but they all belong together as an unfolding of God's wrath
on earth. >>Do you see them separate though? You know some
people will say, "Well, the Seal Judgments, the Trumpet
Judgments are just an echo of the Seal, and the Bowls are
just an echo of the Trumpets." Do you see them as 21 distinct
judgment, or do you see them as just a reiteration of each
set? >>I don't think it is a reiteration. I think you've
got three sets of distinct judgments, and there are
several reasons why I say that. First of all if they
were the same judgments in each case you would expect
them to be absolutely similar. Now there are some
similarities between the Trumpet Judgments, and the
Bowl Judgments, but not the Seal Judgments. And even the
similarities between the Bowls and the Trumpet Judgments are
not similar enough to say that they are the same. Furthermore
in Revelation 15:1 we are told that the Bowl Judgments
represent the last of God's judgments on earth. And with
these judgments the Bowl Judgments, God's wrath is
finished. >>OK. >>Now, that is very clearly indicating that
the Bowl Judgments are distinct from the Trumpet
Judgments and the Seal Judgments. >>Plus it says the
Seal Judgments are going to affect one-fourth, and the
Trumpet Judgments one-third, they are not even affecting
the same number of people. >>That's right. That's exactly
right. And the way that it actually works out in
scripture is that you've got the first six judgments of the
Seal Judgments, and then the seventh Seal Judgment
represents the seven Trumpet Judgments. And then as the
first six Trumpet judgments unfold, the Seventh Trumpet
represents the seven Bowls. So they naturally lead into each
other with the judgments becoming worse with each
passing year. >>What motivated you to write this book on
chronology? >>Well, it's my opinion that a lot of
Christians don't pay too much attention to chronological
clues in the biblical text of scripture, and that is why
there is so much confusion on it. And it is my opinion that
one of the reasons why the early church was excited about
their Christianity was they had a strong prophetic hope.
But today it seems like there is a lot of prophetic
agnosticism with people not sure about anything anymore. I
think you can be rather sure about a lot of this. >>Yes.
>>So I wrote this book to show people how to watch for those
chronological clues that help you to understand the
chronology of end time events. >>Well I highly recommend the
book because I know that many people are confused about
chronology. And also I know that you are the type of
writer who gets it right down to the common person's level.
You have a wonderful gift of writing down-to-earth, easy to
understand. >>Well, thank you. >>And so I think when people
read this they will come out understanding what is the
chronological order. >>You know I have received so much
mail on this book, and I'm just so thrilled about that
Dave. There are a lot of churches using it for church
studies, and Bible studies and stuff like that. >>Praise the
God. I wish more would. Well, look we've got about 2 minutes
left, and I want to end this on a very light note. >>Uh-oh.
>>One of the things-- >>I sense a hard question coming.
>>One of the things that I discovered about you is that
your family, your entire family were the featured
singers at Disneyland way long ago, and were on many
television programs and all. The Rhodes Family. I think
there were eight of you? >>Yup, there were eight of us.
We were called the Rhodes Kids, actually, we were kids
at the time. >>You can go to YouTube and type in Rhodes
Family. >>Well you can. And you'll see illegal videos
posted on-line. >>And you are a teenager at that time?
>>That's right. And we used to do a lot of the big shows like
the Tonight Show, and the Merv Griffin Show, and Mike
Douglas. >>I mean you all were hot. You were like the Jackson
family. >>Well, we co-headlined in Las Vegas with
Ann-Margret which was a pretty big deal. >>And through that
you came to know the Lord, right? >>That is exactly
right. >>How? Tell us that story. >>We were backstage at
the studio in Burbank, California where Pat Boone and
his family were filming the "Glen Campbell Show" Studio A.
And then in Studio B we were filming the "Merv Griffin
Show". But it had a common green room. So we are back
there in this green room, and Shirley Boone is talking about
her faith in the Lord Jesus. And it is the first time I
ever saw anybody cry tears of joy because of a relationship
with Jesus. And I'm thinking to myself, "What is this?" You
know, I grew up in a liberal church and I've never heard of
a personal relationship with Jesus. And they were very much
into Bible prophecy. >>Yes. >>In fact they were using Hale
Lindsey's book, "The Late Great Planet Earth." And I
said, "I have never heard of this before. The Rapture
what's the Rapture? What's the Antichrist? What is all this
stuff?" Well long story short that motivated me to start
looking into Bible prophecy, and I became a believer. >>How
about that! >>Then one after another my brother's and
sister's became believers. >>And so many preachers today
say Bible prophecy is really irrelevant. >>Yeah. Well it
lead me to the Lord. >>And it did so many people. >>Yes.
>>So many people. >>Yes. >>Well, Ron we appreciate you
being on the program so much. >>Thank you. It's always a
joy. >>Ok, thank you.
>>[music]
>>Welcome back to Christ in Prophecy
and our interview with Dr. Ron Rhodes.
Ron, can you look in the camera there and tell folks
how they can get in contact with you? >>Well it is very
easy. Just go to ronrhodes.org, and you can
e-mail from there. You can download a lot of free stuff.
Stop by. >>Well Ron we are going to conclude this program
the way we always do and that is by asking our guest, and I
love to have the opportunity to ask you this: Do you
believe we are living in the season of the Lord's return?
And if so, why? >>Well I believe that we are living in
the season of the Lord's return. And I believe that
because of what I call the convergence factor. You see it
would be one thing if it was just one prophecy was coming
to pass in our day, like Israel being born again. You
know that's great. It would be another thing if two prophecies
were being fulfilled in our day. Which by the
way is happening. But to me the significant thing is that
we've got multiple prophecies converging today and pointing
to a date in the not too distant future. Just to give
you a few examples. We've got the preparations for the
Ezekiel invasion taking place right now. There's alliances
between Russia and Iran, between Russia and Libya.
There are developing alliances between Russia, and Turkey. I
mean these are the very nations that will be involved
in this invasion. Scripture indicates that the temple will
be rebuilt in the end times. And right now the Sanhedrin
has raised the money for it, and the architectural plans. I
can say so much more, but long story short we see a lot of
prophecies coming to pass in our own day. >>Thank you very
much. Folks, that's our program for this week. I hope
it's been a blessing to you. And I hope you'll be back with
us again next week the Lord willing. Until then this is
Dave Reagan speaking for Lamb & Lion Ministries saying,
"Look up, be watchful, for our redemption is drawing near."
>>[music] >>Ron Rhodes book, "The End Times in
Chronological Order" can be yours for a gift of $20 or
more, including the cost of shipping. The book deals with
the most difficult aspects of prophetic interpretation
namely putting all the end time prophetic events in their
proper chronological order. There is no place in the Bible
where this is done for us, instead Bible prophecy
students have to piece together the chronological
order by using clues that are scattered throughout the
scriptures. Dr. Ron Rhodes has done an outstanding job of
this. His conclusions, which Dr. Reagan agrees with, are
presented in easy to understand language, and all
of them are substantiated with scriptural references. In the
process he deals with questions like: Will the War
of Gog and Magog take place during or before the
Tribulation? When will the Rapture most likely occur,
