Where to Look When Fear Rises

David Wilkerson (1931-2011)

As Christians in Paul’s day sensed the destruction of Jerusalem drawing near, they wanted to know more about prophetic events. They were fearful about rumors concerning the ruthlessness of invading armies who took multitudes captive into slavery. It caused these believers to sense that perilous times were close at hand. They asked Paul to tell them more about what was to come and how to read the times.

Two Versions of the Future

Rachel Chimits

“Will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily…” (Luke 18:7-8 ESV).

French has two forms of future tense: “l’avenir” and “le futur.”

The first form refers to what will result from people’s actions in the present. The second is more ambiguous and open-ended because there are simply certain turns in future events that cannot be predicted.

In One Hour Everything Is Going to Change

David Wilkerson

There is a sudden judgment coming where the Lord will turn everything upside down. The Bible says in the midst of these calamities a song is going to rise up from all the saints.
