10 Popular Prophecy Myths Exposed

The Last Days Might Not Be As Near As You Think

by Gary DeMar

There is a seismic shift taking place in the study of Bible prophecy. For decades popular prophecy writers have emphatically insisted that our generation is the "terminal generation," the last generation before the "rapture of the church." First we were told that 1988 was the end date. Then it was the turn of the 2001 millennial clock. Next it was 2007. The end keeps getting pushed farther in the future. As a result of many failed predictions, many Christians are beginning to take a second look at a prophetic system that they were told is the only one that takes the literal interpretation of the Bible seriously. Gary DeMar has taken on the task of exposing some of the popular myths foisted upon the public by prophetic speculators.

A Word In Season Vol. 1

by R. J. Rushdoony

These daily messages on the faith for all of life are unlike any compilation of Christian "devotional" ever published. In these pages, you won't find the overly introspective musings of a Christian pietist; what you'll discover are the hard-hitting convictions of a man whose sole commitment was faithfulness to God's law-word and representing that binding Word to his readers.

The multi-volume series is taken from over 430 articles written by Rushdoony over the span of 25 years (1966-1991) for the California Farmer, an agricultural periodical that provided him a regular column entitled "The Pastor's Pulpit." It has long been a desire of many to see these insightful and challenging articles published in a book format. We're happy to announce that the wait is over. Read and enjoy!

Behold Your King: Prophetic Proofs that Jesus is the Messiah

by William Webster

I am the way, and the truth and the life; no man comes to the Father but by Me--I and the Son of God--I am the Messiah--I am the resurrection and the life. These are just a few of the remarkable claims made by Jesus Christ. In our pluralistic age, many today view these claims as arrogant and narrow. The question is, are they true? In this book, William Webster examines the historical evidence for the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy in the life of Jesus, prophecies written hundreds of years before his birth. This book provides one of the most extensive documentations of Jewish interpretation of messianic prophecy in the English language, from the Talmud, Targums, Midrash and Rabbinic sources, proving that the primary New Testament teachings concerning the Messiah are supported by these ancient Jewish writings. A careful and honest examination of the historical facts can lead us to only one conclusion: Jesus Christ is the long promised Messiah, the Son of God, the Savior and King of all nations. Behold your King!

Burning Down the Shack: How the 'Christian' Bestseller is Deceiving Millions

by James B. De Young

Millions have bought into the theology of Paul Young. The story of pain and redemption resonated with the public.

Is Young's worldview important or his theology that big a deal? James De Young thinks so. In "Burning Down the Shack," De Young manages to shed important light on the implications of Young's pluralistic faith, and provides readers with a gripping counter-balance to the popular little volume that has spent many weeks on the best-seller lists.

Exploring the nature and character of God, from Scripture, De Young concludes that it is necessary to proceed carefully with "The Shack," lest important truths be skewed and even jettisoned. Without being confrontational, De Young makes the case that dangers can lurk under the foundation.

He Shall Have Dominion: A Postmillennial Eschatology

By Kenneth L. Gentry

"This is the best work on postmillennialism that has ever been written" — Reformed Covenanter

"THE BOOK to give to one not convinced. Exegetically based, ethically balanced." — The Christian Standard

In this greatly expanded and wholly updated version of Dr. Gentry's classic study of postmillennialism, you will sense anew the powerful message of Psalm 72 that Christ "shall have dominion from sea to sea" (Psa 72:8). You will learn that God's word promises that "the whole earth will be filled with his glory" (72:19) so that "all nations will call him blessed" (72:17) — before Christ returns.

Many evangelicals today are concerned about those being Left Behind on this Late Great Planet Earth as it collapses into absolute chaos. But the postmillennialist optimistically believes that He Shall Have Dominion throughout the earth. In this book you will find the whole biblical rationale for the postmillennial hope, from its incipient beginning in Genesis to its glorious conclusion in Revelation. Your faith will be re-invigorated as you begin to recognize that "the gospel is the power of God unto salvation" (Rom 1:16) and that our Lord Jesus really meant it when he commanded us to "go and make disciples of all the nations" (Matt 28:19).

Last Days Madness: Obsession of the Modern Church

by Gary DeMar

The end is here...again. At every calendar milestone, self-proclaimed modern-day "prophets" arise to stir up a furor rivaled only by the impending apocalypse they predict. This doom-and-gloom prognostication is not only spread by a few fanatics, but millions of Christians, including some of the most recognized names in mainstream Christianity who are caught up in the latest "last days" frenzy. Seduced by the popular craze, they are driven not to action, but to radical inactivity, ineffectiveness, and lethargy while waiting for the easy-out "end."

In this authoritative book, Gary DeMar clears the haze regarding "end-times" themes by explaining in clear language the interpretation of the time texts, the Olivet Discourse, the rebuilt temple, the abomination of desolation, the man of lawlessness, 666, the return of Christ, the cursed fig tree, the passing away of heaven and earth, the antichrist, Armageddon, the rapture, the identity of "mystery Babylon," and more. He sheds light on the most difficult and studied prophetic passages in the Bible, including Daniel 7:13-14; 9:24-27; Matthew 16:27-28; 24-25; 2 Thessalonians 2; 2 Peter 3:3-13, and many more.

But more than this, DeMar tests your views, renews your zeal for the living truth, and encourages you to escape the paralysis of last days madness. This is the most thoroughly documented and comprehensive study of Bible prophecy ever written! Last Days Madness will be your survival guide and spiritual compass to insure you escape the paralysis of last days madness.

You will learn much about Israel's involvement with Rome against young Christianity. You will also find answers to perplexing questions, such as: “Why did John send such a Hebraic book to Asian Christians?” “How could John view God's temple as an idol?

Risen Indeed: Evidence for the Resurrection

By Dr. D. James Kennedy

Dr. Kennedy presents compelling evidence in Risen Indeed for the central Christian claim that Jesus Christ rose from the dead 2,000 years ago. He examines seven theories introduced by skeptics to disprove the Resurrection and demonstrates why each fails to fit the facts. Was Jesus Resurrected? Many ask this question and Dr. Kennedy examines alleged discrepancies between Resurrection accounts in the four gospels and shows how they are in harmony, not contradiction.

Finally, Dr. Kennedy considers whether the Shroud of Turin constitutes scientific evidence for the Resurrection and explains why he believes the Shroud is the genuine burial cloth of Jesus Christ.

Sovereignty

By R.J. Rushdoony

The word sovereignty means one who is above all. It is the supreme and highest power. The Christian defines the Sovereign Lord as unlimited, independent, with original authority.

For fallen man, sovereignty belongs to the state because the state is the source of law. Since the Christian can have no other gods (Ex. 20:3), history is defined appropriately by Augustine as a conflict between the City of Man and the City of God. As in all conflicts, we must choose this day whom we will serve.

Calvinists often limit the doctrine of sovereignty to a systematic theological definition of God. Much more work is needed in developing the implications of sovereignty for the Kingdom of God and its application in terms of the law–word of God.

In this posthumously published volume, R. J. Rushdoony examines the comprehensive implications of God's sovereignty with a clear eye to critiquing the various places where man posits sovereignty—especially the sovereign state. This is a must–read for anyone seeking to understand the crises of our times.

Systematic Theology in Two Volumes

by R. J. Rushdoony

Theology belongs in the pulpit, the school, the workplace, the family and everywhere. Society as a whole is weakened when theology is neglected. Without a systematic application of theology, too often people approach the Bible with a smorgasbord mentality, picking and choosing that which pleases them. This two-volume set addresses this subject in order to assist in the application of the Word of God to every area of life and thought.

The Late Great Planet Church vol. 1 (DVD)

by Jerry Johnson

Volume One of The Late Great Planet Church: The Rise of Dispensationalism is the first documentary of its kind. It exposes this fraudulent system of thought as breaking continuity with history and even the very Word of God. In this first volume we will examine the beginnings, beliefs, and motivations of this innovative movement by focusing on its relatively recent development, stormy history and its most influential proponents.

Host by Jerry Johnson, President of NiceneCouncil.com and The Apologetics Group, this documentary features pastors, scholars, and historians, who at one time were strongly committed dispensationalists. They have since rejected this system as thoroughly unbiblical viewing it as a stumbling block to the Church and a distraction from the Great Commission.

by Greg L. Bahnsen

We have just ended a century dominated by a multitude of failed prophecies
from those who looked to be raptured out of a collapsing world at any
moment. The dawning of a new millennium will hopefully cause the Church to
pause and consider whether these discredited prophets should be hooted off
the stage. Victory in Jesus: The Bright Hope of Postmillennialism offers a
sober and faithful examination of Scripture while clearly demonstrating that
Christians have every reason to expect the victory of Jesus and the triumph
of the gospel as the Great Commission is fulfilled on earth.

Amazing Grace (DVD)

The History & Theology of Calvinism

Rich in graphics, dramatic vignettes, and biblical analogies, Amazing Grace The History and Theology of Calvinism features many of the finest thinkers of our time: Dr. R.C. Sproul, Dr. D. James Kennedy, Dr. George Grant, Dr. Stephen Mansfield, Dr. Thomas Ascol, Dr. Thomas Nettles, Dr. Roger Schultz, Pastor Walt Chantry, Dr. Joe Morecraft, Dr. Ken Talbot, Pastor Walter Bowie, and Dr. R.C. Sproul, Jr.

This DVD will answer many questions such as:

What is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a robot and God the author of sin?
What about free will
If the Church accepts Calvinism wont evangelism be stifled, perhaps extinguished?
How can we balance Gods sovereignty and mans responsibility?
What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism?
Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards, and a host of evangelists deny the Arminian definition of free will and label it heresy?
Why did the Roman Catholic Church condemn the Reformed teaching of predestination and election and embrace free will theology?
And why do so many Protestants, perhaps unwittingly, agree with Rome on this issue?
Hosted by Eric Holmberg (Hells Bells 1 & 2; The Massacre of Innocence), this fascinating three-part, four-hour plus presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy.

Ten sessions. Great for Sunday school or Bible study. Study Guide also available.
