Is "The Left Behind Theology" Being Left Behind? by Jan Markell

Is Left Behind Theology Being Left Behind?

Since I was old enough to understand it, I’ve believed, taught, and written about Dispensational Theology. I just call it “Left Behind Theology.” Critics say it is a modern invention that came along in the 1800s. Please, read the Bible. The prophetic angle of Dispensationalism represents one-third of the Bible.

Simple Definitions

Dispensationalism teaches a literal Antichrist, a literal “Time of Jacob’s Trouble” or Tribulation, a literal Rapture, a literal Second Coming, a literal thousand-year Millennium, and distinct roles for Israel and the church. Israel has a glorious future. God has made promises to her and will fulfill them, and the church has not replaced her.

If You Want to See How Much America Has Changed In 250 Years, Just Look at What Is Going on in Our Streets

Michael Snyder - https://endoftheamericandream.com/if-you-want-to-see-how-much-america-has-changed-in-250-years-just-look-at-what-is-going-on-in-our-streets/

As we approach America’s 250th birthday, a lot of people are reflecting on how much our society has changed over the years. If we could go back to 1776, we would be absolutely shocked by how different day to day life was back then. Early Americans didn’t have everything handed to them, and so they had to work extremely hard. But even though conditions were often very rough, the population was also very civilized. That actually didn’t change for a long time. Even as recently as 100 years ago, people living in the western world were very highly civilized. The way they dressed, the way they spoke and the way that they carried themselves commanded respect. Of course if our ancestors could see us today, they would be deeply shocked by how far we have fallen.

One of the primary reasons why our culture has shifted so dramatically is because we have embraced completely different values. In early America, more than 95 percent of the population was made up of Bible-believing Christians. But today we have gone down a much different road.

Illegal migrants shout 'this is the end of England' just moments before landing on British shores

Illegal migrants have been filmed shouting “this is the end of England” and tossing personal documents into the Channel moments before arriving on British shores.

The shocking footage, obtained exclusively by GB News, showed dozens of individuals making the 21-mile journey in a dinghy this morning.

A translation of the video indicated one man said: “London is finished, London is finished. Rozi Khan has finished London."

He then waved to the camera and mentioned a man named Ahmad, saying: “Bring him. Ahmad, bring him safely." In another video, which appears to have been filmed aboard the same small boat, one man is heard saying: “This is the end of England.”

The boat appears packed with dozens of migrants, including some women and children. Despite embarking on the 21-mile journey, they appear in good spirits, with many wearing life jackets.

Archaeologists uncover 'massive biblical structure' in hunt for Ark of the Covenant

Archaeologists working in Israel may have discovered the original resting place of the Ark of the Covenant. A team from the Associates for Biblical Research has been excavating at biblical Shiloh, an ancient city in the West Bank.

Scripture describes Shiloh as the location where the Tabernacle stood for more than three centuries. The researchers have now uncovered additional walls belonging to a substantial structure that could have formed part of the Tabernacle.

Worship-related artefacts and newly identified fortifications were also found at the site. Dr Scott Stripling, who directs the Tel Shiloh excavation, said the latest discoveries help researchers reconstruct the monumental building's full dimensions.

The most significant find was the structure's southern wall.

Trump made more than $1bn from crypto in first year back in office

US President Donald Trump made more than $1bn (£750m) last year from business dealings in cryptocurrency, according to his mandatory financial report for 2025.

In a 927-page disclosure, he reported $635m in royalties from a Trump meme coin that has plunged in value since he launched it days before taking office.

He also reported over $500m in income from World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency firm founded by his own sons and the children of his special envoy, Steve Witkoff.

He earned millions more from real estate and Trump-themed items. But the White House denied he was profiting from the presidency.

The earnings from his latest financial disclosure far outpace the previous ones for 2024, when Trump disclosed over $600m of income.

But the White House, which has repeatedly emphasised that Trump has placed his businesses in a trust managed by his sons, again denied any conflict of interest.

White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said the president had proudly made the US "the crypto capital of the world".

US envoys in Doha to meet mediators but not Iranians, Qatar says

US special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump's son-in-law ‌Jared Kushner are in Doha to discuss the US-Iran negotiations with mediators, Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman says, but they will not meet Iranian officials there.

Majed al-Ansari told reporters that no high-level meetings or direct talks between the two sides were scheduled in the coming days. The US and Iran agreed to stop attacking each other and send delegations to the Gulf state following a four-day exchange of strikes triggered by a dispute over the reopening of the crucial Strait of Hormuz waterway.

The strikes threatened the preliminary agreement to end the four-month war between the US, Israel and Iran. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) brokered by Pakistan and Qatar less than two weeks ago committed the countries to halt military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, and immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of global oil and gas shipments pass.

They also gave themselves at least 60 days to reach a final deal that covers Iran's nuclear programme, US sanctions and a permanent truce.

Pakistani and Qatari mediators said encouraging progress was made at the first round of talks held in Switzerland a week ago, which US Vice-President JD Vance and Iran's Parliamentary Speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf attended.

They also said a "communication line" had been formed to enable the safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

But that failed to prevent the recent exchanges of strikes, which began when Iran attacked a cargo ship on Thursday following efforts to open Oman's territorial waters to both inbound and outbound traffic on the southern side of the strait. Iran had warned vessels that the only route was through its own waters on the northern side.

The Impossible Victory: How Outnumbered, Starving Christians Defeated a Massive Muslim Army

The Impossible Victory - They Ate Leather Shoes and Drank Horse Blood — Then Won a Miracle at Antioch (by Raymond Ibrahim).

This week in history featured several military engagements between the forces of Islam and Christendom, though none more decisive and dramatic — indeed, long seen as miraculous — than the battle that took place before the walls on Antioch on June 28, 1098.

As discussed here, earlier that month, the Crusaders had managed to liberate from Islamic abuse the ancient Christian city of Antioch — the place where the very word “Christian” was first coined (Acts 11:26).

Before they could celebrate, however (or even recuperate), Kerbogha, the Turkish lord (or atabeg) of Mosul, arrived with a “countless and innumerable throng” of forty thousand fighters consisting of Turks, Arabs, Egyptians, Africans, and Persians. “It is quite obvious that these people are completely mad,” the atabeg observed of the hopelessly outnumbered Crusaders. “They are a presumptuous race…. Doubtless they have every confidence in their courage. But by Muhammad, it was a bad day for them when they entered Syrian territory.”

Kerbogha quickly blockaded Antioch, and the Christians who only the day before had been the besiegers became the besieged. Worse, by the time the Crusaders took Antioch, most of its stores had been depleted by the Turks during their lengthy besiegement, forcing the feral Franks to eat leather shoes and drink horse blood.
