Can you imagine a world that has rejected the dollar? The rest of the world can. What if the U.S. dollar lost its monopoly status in world trade?

Jesus, not His enemies, set the time of His execution. This was a destiny established before the foundation of the world. We know from the sacred Scriptures that the plot against Jesus was expressly designed to avoid the feast days (in order to minimize involvement of the Roman soldiers and their irresolute commitment to keeping order).

What is this burgeoning craze about the coming four “blood moons,” and do they convey a prophetic message for mankind?

The lines between reality and imagination are blurring. The incredible advancement in technology is changing our mindsets and belief systems on a massive scale!

What are these “doctrines of demons” Paul warns us about? What can we do in this age of deception? What does the Bible have to say about the End Times? Matthew’s Gospel gives us the response of Jesus to this question. “Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, ‘Tell us, when will these things be?

It seems as if our current world monetary system is on the verge of collapse. What is the next step for money? We have written before on the concept of money and its history. The last time this topic was addressed in Personal UPDATE was when the U.S. Stimulus Package was passed by Congress when they no longer feared the concept of trillions of dollars in the yearly deficit.

Why do we care about privacy anyway? If we have “nothing to hide,” why worry? We live in a world where almost everything is recorded in one way or another.

While governments plan (sometimes poorly) for disasters, individuals have the ultimate responsibility for their own welfare and that of their family.

Unquestionably, Isaiah has given us our most indispensable Old Testament prophetic tour de force and it is replete with exegetical discoveries and hermeneutic treasures.

When we choose to follow our own feelings and desires over God’s will, we quench His Spirit in us. This, then, blocks His Love not only from flowing through us to others, but also hinders us from experiencing His Love personally.

The Metacosm is the domain of transdimensional creatures such as angels (fallen and unfallen), demons, and—surprisingly—UFOs and other ostensibly hybrid forms encountered in the Scriptures.
