A New Superpower to Emerge

  • by World News
Does Bible prophecy foretell a revival of the Roman Empire? Indeed it does—it is prophesied extensively in Daniel and Revelation, as the following excerpt from our free booklet Are We Living in the Time of the End? shows:

EU Pressures Poland and the Czech Republic

  • by World News
According to The Times, "Fears that Eastern European countries are preparing to follow Ireland's rejection of the Lisbon treaty have increased tensions… The Continent's leaders are refusing to accept that the treaty is dead, despite the dramatic Irish referendum rejection last week, and are determined to persuade the Czechs and the Poles, seen as the two [EU countries] most likely to suspend...

The Next Colossal Fulfillment of Prophecy!

  • by Cecil Maranville
Every time I saw them, they asked the same question, "What's going to happen next in prophecy?" But time proved they truly didn't want to know the answer! They wanted only to observe. What about you? Are you a spectator or a player?

The relationship between the early Church and the state caused turmoil in the Church and led to the development of a very different church.

The EU Versus the Irish Republic: What Does It Mean?

  • by John Ross Schroeder
Most Irish citizens simply do not want a European superstate. This is the basic message of Ireland's startling "no" vote on the Lisbon Treaty. But the much more powerful European elites clearly want it very badly! Bible prophecy strongly indicates that forces for federal unification ultimately will prevail in Europe—bringing about a new superpower.

This Is the Way Walk in It: Who Is Worthy?

  • by Robin Webber
God wants us to give our attention and allegiance to His heavenly Kingdom, rather than despairing over the world of man. God commands the "eyes of our heart" to focus on Him alone; to look up rather than around.
