Does Church Feel Unsafe?

By Christina Miller "Now, you shepherds, listen to what I, the LORD, am telling you." Ezekiel 34:7 delivers a hard message to the leaders of Israel.

5777: Year Of The RAPTURE?

  At sundown on October 2nd, the Jewish New Year 5777 will begin, and The LORD’s Biblical “High Holy Days” with it. We will close out the Biblical Jubilee Year (only coming around once every 50 years), which followed the Shemitah Year (coming once every 7 years). The fact that such a Biblically significant Year (5777) is following not just a Shemitah, but a Jubilee...
