Bible Prophecy by Rick Lange

BIG WORDS                 I occasionally like to throw around big words and technical terms, but in truth I do not own them. So when it comes to keeping up with the latest in technology I must rely on friends like Anthony Patch to tell us what is going on. And even then it only grabs my attention because in the technologies that are emerging today we see science finally catching up with the Bible. In other words, the Mark of the Beast system by which they will control every person on the planet is now being perfected.                 Have you ever looked up into the blue sky and seen jet contrails that seem to last all day? I remember when these contrails dissipated and disappeared shortly after the jet passed by. But today they have added something to jet fuel so that certain chemicals and Nano particles are released into the atmosphere. These take a long time to diffuse. They gently fall to earth where they infect our soil, our food supply, our water supply and the air we b

SNAKE IN THE GRASS                 Bonnie and I were involved in the Charismatic movement for about 20 years and we felt quite comfortable there. The worship was inspiring, the sermons uplifting and there was a sense of awe and holiness and understanding that was wonderful. So before I tell you what now troubles me, I might remind you that most, if not nearly all of the grand worship songs that people now universally sing have come out of that movement.   The songs that you sing in expressing love to and worship of the Lord most likely came out of the Charismatic movement and especially those songs written in the 80s and early 90s. “I Stand in Awe of You, Majesty, As the Deer… you name it.                 But in time disturbing trends began to come to our attention. So called prophets began circulating among the churches prophesying over people and as they did, the Lord began to show me in my spirit that these were not operating in the Holy Spirit, but in the realm of the psy

THE MARCH TO ARMAGEDDON                 For a couple of months now I have been writing pastoral letters rather than direct prophecy studies. We live in a time when so much is happening to fulfill Bible prophecy, that we can scarcely take it all in let alone cover it. It is so much easier to cover events when one or two major things are happening rather than a thousand little things.                 The flow of human history is punctuated by major events that wake people up, followed by mundane events that put everyone back to sleep. Unfortunately it is during those mundane periods when the devil is laying his foundations for the next major event. But people only wake up so many times before they decide that it is better to stay asleep. Why get all worked up by big events when mundane times are just around the corner?                 The times we are in right now are not mundane by any means. Our problem is that everything in the Bible looks like it happens in a week’s time

THE UNVEILING                 “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed IN US. For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.” Romans 8:18, 19.                 When we ask Jesus to come into our hearts, do we really understand what it means that He actually does come in by His Holy Spirit and that He actually takes up residence in us and that at His coming, that which is in us will be revealed to the world?                 We walk about the earth in humble clothing, human skin and bones and flesh. We scarcely comprehend it ourselves… in fact we generally live far below our spiritual potential because we do not comprehend what God has placed in us. We often take His Word too lightly.                 “He who believes in the Son HAS eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3:36

THE ARROWS OF TIME                 On this Thanksgiving morning, I find myself thinking about time. What is time anyway? If we were to travel out beyond our solar system and hang out among the stars how would we measure time?                 So time is really related to motion. It is related to birth, growth and death. It is related to seasons and cycles, to days, months and years. God established yearly landmarks by which to monitor time, Passover, Unleavened Bread, first fruits and Pentecost… these were the spring feasts and then the fall feasts consisted of Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles. The spring feasts outlined for us the first coming of Christ, while the fall feasts will mark for us the events leading to the second coming of Christ.                 Today we mimic God’s appointed times with largely pagan holidays and so we tend to lose a lot of what God was and is telling us about His plans and purposes, but they nevertheless help us to mark the passing of the

THANKFULNESS                 America… America… God shed His grace on thee… and crowned thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea. Return to Me America for I have blessed you above all others. Why have you forsaken Me? Must we meet on Mt. Carmel once again?                 ‘I permitted Myself to be sought by those who did not ask for Me; I permitted Myself to be found by those who did not seek Me. I said Here am I, Here am I,” to a nation which did not call on My name. I have spread out My hands all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in the way which is not good, following their own thoughts.” Isa. 65:1, 2.                 Thankfulness comes with the territory of being a true believer. We look beyond the veil and our hearts respond to the great lover of our souls. Unworthy though we may be, He seeks our love in dark alleys and lowly haunts until we give up our running and fall into His arms.                 Once captured by His love we do the unnatural thi

HE WHO HAS AN EAR                 “God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways in these last days has spoken to us in His Son…” Hebrews 1:1, 2a                 From this text in Hebrews, we learn that God has many different ways of communicating with His people. In the Old Testament He largely communicated with His people through prophets, those who had ears to hear. But now in these last days, as Hebrews one tells us, He speaks through His Son and His Son speaks to us through His Holy Spirit which we all have if they are born again.                 Seven times in the book of Revelation Jesus says: “He, who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Rev 2:7, 11, 17, 29…3:6, 13, 22. God expects us to hear His voice.                 Everyone wants to hear God’s voice, but only a very few will do what He says. Acting on God’s word is a lot like walking on water. There seems to be no tangible support fo

COMING OUT                 If Christians only understood what God is calling us out of and what He is calling us into, it would rock the Christian world. God called a man named Abraham out of the Kingdom of Nimrod to become the father a new and chosen people.   In time, He then called Israel out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses to establish in them a foundation of truth that would set them free from the Babylonian matrices of Nimrod, which also ruled Egypt.                 So God established a kingdom on earth that would operate apart from the other nations, apart from the pantheon of gods that now ruled this Gentile world under Satan. To this day, the pagan matrix of Nimrod rules the nations. WE see it in governments and religions and in the power structures of humanity. If you don’t want to be a part of Satan’s matrix, you have to come out of it and the only way out of it is through death… and that death is through the cross of Jesus Christ alone. Satan’s matrix was s
