P. E. Harris, pastor at Seely Community Church, has written a heart-felt article warning of the dangers of believing the notion that the Great Tribulation will be God’s Wrath.

The End-Time Red Moon Will be ATMOSPHERIC, Not Astronomic
A lot of pop prophecy teachers out there think the “blood moon” or “darkening” in Joel 2:31, Matt 24:29, and the sixth seal will be able to be predicted by logging onto NASA’s website in order to forecast when some future peculiar astronomical alignment will occur such as a lunar or solar eclipse.

The significance of the metaphor is not identical to the natural or historical exemplar. It develops a significance that goes beyond the […]
What Is the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)? – Michael Heiser’s Interview with Holly Pivec
LISTEN HERE The New Apostolic Reformation possesses skewed eschatology, to say the least, containing some of the most bizarre—and unbiblical—interpretations I have come across in my studies. Holly Pivec (who is prewrath, incidentally) has co-authored two of the standard books on NAR. A New Apostolic Reformation?: A Biblical Response to a Worldwide Movement and God’s […]
