Why Yet Another Voice Among The Thousands?
With all of the existing websites, video channels, podcasts, conferences, online ministries, courses and books on Bible Prophecy, why would I start another one?
The answer is simple, and yet significant. Below you will discover three reasons why The End Time Classroom exists.
1. The Gospel!
Bible prophecy is clearly important, especially in these confusing End Times. However, if there is one thing I have learned after nearly 46 years of studying the Bible and more than 30 years serving as a pastor, it is this:
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is still the most important message in the world.
- Not politics.
- Not world events.
- Not prophecy charts.
- Not speculation about the latest headline.
The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ remains mankind’s only hope of salvation. That truth will never change until the culmination of all things. Even then, what Christ has done for all men will never be forgotten.
Therefore, the most valuable reason for this site is the salvation of souls through the preaching of the true gospel. Many do not truly understand Bible prophecy because they still don’t understand salvation as a viable starting point.
Bible prophecy is not an end in itself. To the true believer, properly understood, it magnifies the faithfulness of God, strengthens our confidence in His Word, and reminds us that Jesus Christ is returning exactly as He promised.
2. To Counter the Massive Amount of Confusion!
Have you noticed that the closer we get to the end of the age, the more confusion there seems to be? The very subject God planned as a foundation of clarity and hope has become the exact opposite. It has become unclear and full of despair.
We live in a time when more prophecy information is available than ever before. Thousands of books have been written. Countless videos are uploaded every day. Podcasts, conferences, social media channels, blogs, and online ministries discuss Bible prophecy around the clock.
Yet confusion continues to grow!
In many cases, Christians are not struggling because they lack information. They are struggling because they have too much information and not enough careful Bible study. Careful Bible study will eliminate confusion in the heart of the true child of God!
3. A Troubling Pattern of Conjectural Guesswork!
Over the years, I have noticed a troubling pattern.
- Many prophecy teachers begin with assumptions and then search for verses to support them.
- Others become captivated by current events and attempt to fit every headline into a prophetic framework.
- Some confidently teach positions that are based more upon tradition than Scripture.
The result is often confusion, disappointment, and unnecessary division among believers. This is the opposite of what Paul said under the inspiration of the Spirit of God in Ephesians 4:11-16! There needs to be unity, yet everyone seems tossed about with every wind of doctrine. These things ought not be so, my brethren!
End Time Classroom Purpose
My purpose in creating The End Time Classroom is not to attack other Christians or elevate myself as some authority. My goal is much simpler.
- I want to open the Bible and let Scripture speak for itself.
- I want to examine difficult passages carefully.
- I want to challenge assumptions—including my own.
- I want to separate what the Bible clearly says from what people merely assume it says.
- Most importantly, I want to encourage believers to think like Bereans and search the Scriptures for themselves.
You will find that some of the posts presented here agree with popular prophecy teaching. Others may challenge positions that many Christians have accepted for years.
I am not interested in being controversial for the sake of controversy. I am interested in discovering what is true.
Plans For The Near Future
As this ministry develops, I plan to address several prophecy passages that have confused Christians for generations. Some of the conclusions may surprise you.
In fact, one of the most important truths I have discovered during my years of study concerns a future prophetic event. A prophecy that may initially appear to undermine the true biblical doctrine of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture once it is fulfilled. When it first occurs, many professing believers may conclude that Pre-Tribulationalism has ultimately been proven wrong.
Yet Scripture often reveals its truth progressively. What may at first appear to contradict God’s prophetic plan can ultimately become one of the strongest confirmations of it. In future studies, I look forward to examining this subject carefully from the Scriptures.
For now, I will leave that discussion for another day.
The Ultimate Purpose
The purpose of this website is…
- Not to win arguments.
- Not to predict dates.
- Not to sensationalize world events.
It is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, teach the Word of God, and help believers approach Bible prophecy with careful, thoughtful, verse-by-verse study.
If that sounds like something you are looking for, I invite you to join me on the journey.
There has never been a more important time to know what the Bible actually says about prophetic events.
True Believers in These Times Need Certainty!
For any that may be confused in these times, you need to have assurance through words of certainty.
Proverbs 22:17-21 sums it up perfectly, AND so poetically. The passage says,
“17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
19 That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
21 that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?“
More than anything else, in this time of great confusion, this time of great deception as our Lord has said, the certainty of the words of truth need to be made known.
The Body of Christ needs to know what’s coming very soon. She needs to understand what is coming next. She needs to tell others… the truth!
Many Bible prophecy students believe the next major prophetic event is the Rapture of the Church. I believe the Scriptures teach The Pre-Tribulation Rapture as well. Yet there is an important prophetic truth that many believers have overlooked—one that may initially cause some to question that conclusion altogether.
What is it?
Again that will have to be a subject for future study.
For now, my prayer is that The End Time Classroom will help believers discover the certainty of the words of truth through careful, verse-by-verse study of God’s Word.
I hope you will join me on that journey.
God bless,
