For many years, scientists have heard sounds from outer space. After much research, scientists recently have discovered that the stars of outer space can sing. Long ago, the Bible describes God mentioning this event in Job 38:4 & 7: “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? When the morning stars sang together, and the sons of God shouted for joy?” When God created the Earth and the universe, he tells us, “The morning stars sang together, and the sons of God shouted for joy.” This passage in the first part of verse seven has often been interpreted in a figurativ ..read more

“Lift up the Word. Light up the world.” That is the theme for the 73rd National Day of Prayer, observed across America on Thursday, May 2, 2024. God has equipped His followers with two powerful weapons – prayer and the Bible. How can we wield the weapon of prayer to fight the good fight of faith? Pioneer Christian Missionary to China, Hudson Taylor (1832-1905), advised a fellow missionary seeking to reach a new area with the Gospel, “Brother, if you would enter that province, you must go forward on your knees.” Prayer unlocks doors we cannot open when we begin to rely upon God’s strength inst ..read more

The question I get asked the most is, “How did the giants come back after the flood?” Scripture tells us in Genesis 6:4 that giants were on the Earth both before and after the great flood of Noah, “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” Goliath and Og were postdiluvian giants. The Israelites warred against the giants for centuries. The giants before the flood, known as Nephilim, were the offspring of angels and human ..read more

A J.R. Church classic article from April 1986 Passover is a time of looking backward for the Jews. It commemorates the deliverance of the children of Israel from the harsh hands of the Pharaoh some 3,000 years ago. At the same time, it reminds the Jew to look forward to the day when Elijah will come to precede the advent of the Messiah. The prospect is so real for the Orthodox Jew that each year a chair is set at the Passover table for the prophet. So far, the chair has remained empty. One day, however, Elijah will come. Christians are looking for him, too. Could this be the year? It is fasc ..read more

“ls … ls not! Is … Is not!” That’s an excerpt from a 2,000-year-old debate raging among my Jewish people over the true identity of Jesus and the question of whether He is the Messiah. That same kind of debate is raging across the aisles of the church of Jesus Christ around the world today, except the question is different. The question is not whether Jesus is the Messiah and Lord. As His church, we agree emphatically—yes, He is!  The question is this: Is God finished in His dealings with Israel? It is a very important question to address because the answer to that question will greatly ..read more

A mother in Africa listens to Christian radio with her family thanks to a generous gift; a Muslim holy man listens privately as the Gospel permeates his head and heart; and a pastor deepens his understanding of God’s Word. What do these stories have in common? Each one was affected by Christian radio through TWR. Right now, Prophecy in the News and SWRC have a unique opportunity to impact Africa with the Good News of Jesus like never before. Not long after going on the air in April 1933, SWRC got involved in Christian missions and Gospel outreach. Ninety-one years later, SWRC and Prophecy in ..read more

The women approach the tomb with their burial perfumes and ointments in hand. They find Roman soldiers guarding the entrance to Jesus’ tomb. They ask the guards for permission to anoint Jesus’ corpse with burial perfumes. The guards agree, so long as they can monitor the situation to make sure nothing suspicious happens. They open the tomb and carefully watch the women as they anoint the lifeless body of Jesus as part of the burial process. The women are crushed. They thought Jesus really was the Messiah, but here He lies dead. Their tears mix with their burial ointments as they reverently pe ..read more

Excerpt from The Power of the Cross by Rob Lindsted Sometimes, as we look at the aspects of the cross, we say almost in an apologetic way, “Jesus died on the cross.” But the Apostle Paul would say this, “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world” (Galatians 6:14). The crucifixion looked like a dark moment for Christianity. Here was the One that many had followed, and some even thought was the Messiah. But, lo and behold, He was crucified between two thieves. He had a perfect way to get out of the tr ..read more

—J.R. Church newspaper article from August 1993 Armageddon will be the ultimate war. All nations will be involved. The events leading up to this battle are predicted in the Bible, some of which have been fulfilled in this generation. In the Bible, we find a curious story replete with divine judgment. Zechariah 12: 2-3 covers the action of the war and gives in ominous tones the perennial hazards of making war on Jerusalem and Israel: “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling into all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And ..read more

Did man and dinosaurs roam the Earth at the same time? Let’s start answering the question by reading what God says about the topic in Genesis 1:25-27. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in h ..read more
