Religious Ideas Have Consequences! – Laura Urista

Question: My sister is in the hospital in ICU. She hasn't taken any of her meds for diabetes or heart issues for 2 years. My sister has neglected her health to the point where she has sepsis, a blood sugar of 580 and is hallucinating at the hospital. Her heart is extremely weak, and they aren't sure she's going to survive this. She and my niece (her oldest daughter) have become obsessed with end-times videos on YouTube, particularly Rapture Watchers. They are so convinced that the rapture is going to happen that my niece basically doesn't work and her 2 youngest kids are not being educated. They are 10 and 8. The 10-year-old reads at a 1st ...

4 Views of Revelation – Steve Gregg

--Ask most people -- Christian or non-Christian -- what they think the book of Revelation is about, and chances are they will tell you it is a book about the "end of the world." Chances are, they have never heard any other way to understand this book filled with strange beasts, symbolism and ominous signs of doom.

Q&R with Brad Jersak – What do you make of “Preterism”?

Question: For years I was a full preterist. I recently started questioning its soundness. And realizing that full preterism may be false has left me wondering about the correct view of the "end times." Response: For our readers' sake, let's begin with some simplistic definitions, then follow up with a response. FULL PRETERISM argues and believes that ALL of the "end times" prophecies of the New Testament (including the resurrection of the dead, Jesus' Second Coming, and the final judgment) were fulfilled in the events connected to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.

Q&R with Greg Albrecht – “The End Times” – Is Jesus coming back?

Question: My question is about what many call “the end times.” They (many preachers, teachers and churches) say that the upheaval, suffering, disease and warfare in our world is a sign that the Second Coming of Jesus is near. They say his coming is closer than it ever has been.  It seems to me that whether all of this means his Second Coming is near, either way, Jesus will return. What do you think? Response: Of course, it is not breaking news to say that Jesus’ Second Coming is closer than it ever has been before.  I appreciate that many say such a thing in a sensational way, but of course what they say is not a breatht...
