Prophecy Update: Intertwined Destinies of Israel & Iran :: By Gary W. Ritter

Update: 10-26-22 The Middle East remains a cauldron of prophetic activity as we head into the last months of this year. Israel continues to face hatred and conflict from many sides, while Iran propagates much of the hostility directed at its Jewish neighbor. It has been said – rightly so – that Israel is the […]

To Test Israel :: By Gary W. Ritter

To determine whether God’s Chosen People truly had faith in Him, the Lord allowed pagan nations to remain in the land of Canaan as the Exodus concluded so that the next generation of Israelites might experience war. Judges 1:1-2 tells us: “Now these are the nations that the Lord left, to test Israel by them, […]

Biblical Audio Commentary: Those Who Were Left :: By Gary W. Ritter

Although it was obviously God-ordained, I’ve always thought the circumstances surrounding the split in Israel after the reign of Solomon, between what became the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, contained a strange contradiction – until I read more closely. Every indication was that during the time of Solomon, the people of Israel were well-treated and lived […]

The Corruption of All Flesh :: By Gary W. Ritter

Aside from the folks who believe the Sethite version of Genesis 6:1-4, most of the rest of us have come to the realization that the sons of God (benai Elohim) passage references really were sons of God. In other words, the supernatural interpretation of this text is the correct one. Any attempt to demythologize the […]

Biblical Commentary: Promoting & Condoning Sin :: By Gary W. Ritter

Because what I’m going to say here is never spoken from the pulpit, I know it’s going to anger a bunch of people. Well, truth is like that. I won’t leave you in suspense. Because of what the Democrat Party in this nation stands for, I believe that anyone who calls himself a Christian commits […]

Bible Prophecy Update: Unbridled Evil Among Us :: By Gary W. Ritter

Update 8-17-22 The depth of the Deep State, directed by the globalist elites – the proverbial cream of the crop – is bottomless. It is so extensive that even those of us aware of the satanic agenda at work in the world today cannot truly comprehend how pervasive it is. And what is this Deep […]

At the Very Gates :: By Gary W. Ritter

How close are we to the 7-year Tribulation? Let me ask this: How can we not be right at its cusp? Three of the Gospels describe what will occur in the final days: the very end of this world as we know it and the run-up to the time when literally all hell breaks loose […]

More Tisha B’Av Rapture Thoughts :: By Gary W. Ritter

The potential for the Rapture of the church to occur on the Jewish day of mourning known as Tisha B’Av, i.e., the 9th day of the month of Av, has become a topic of much interest lately among pre-Trib Rapture adherents. After reading a couple of well-written discussions on this subject, I figured I might […]

What If the Antichrist…? :: By Gary W. Ritter

It’s fascinating that most of us who consider such things have inevitably thought of the person of the Antichrist as coming out of the ranks of the elites. Why would we do this? Probably because we figure that anyone rising to such influence must have some base of power to begin with. Think about some […]

Bible Prophecy: The Compromising Church :: Gary W. Ritter

Update 8-10-22 Compromise among God’s people is not an isolated phenomenon nor limited to either the Old Testament or the New. We well know how the Israelites time and again turned from Yahweh to worship other gods, sometimes exclusively, and at other times syncretistically, where Yahweh was one of many deities they were happy to […]

Bible Prophecy Update: Angels & Fallen Angels, Part 1 :: By Gary W. Ritter

Update 8-3-22 A little more than two years ago, my pastor allowed me to bring this teaching to a Wednesday night gathering in the church. Because of his background, the pastor didn’t agree with some of the points he knew I’d convey, but he trusted me that I spoke truth, and he had the courage […]

Plagues & Pestilences, Oh My! :: By Gary W. Ritter

For anyone who doesn’t think we’re on a collision course with the 7-year Tribulation, I would ask this one question: Has there ever been a time in all of world history in which there has been the multitude of plagues that have arisen in the last couple of years? Yes, there have been severe outbreaks […]
