Eschatology is a part of theology concerned with the final events of history,
or the ultimate destiny of humanity. This concept is commonly referred to as
the “End Times” or “Last Days.”
In this field of study, there is a minefield of disinformation, misunderstandings
and myths concerning many future events:
•The Rapture
•Does the Church go through the “Great Tribulation”?
•Is there a literal “Millennium”?
•Does the Church “replace” Israel?
•What happened to the Davidic Covenant?
•Is Everyone in Heaven equal?
•Under Grace, does behavior matter?
Dr. Chuck Missler sheds light on these and some of the widely accepted
myths surrounding some of the most important events on our horizon.

DEAR FRIENDS
016 promises to be a year of challenge and change. Everywhere you
look the stage seems set for unpredictable and dramatic events that
can and perhaps will alter the course of history. Where should we
be looking when the world starts shaking?
In Luke chapter 21, verse 28, Jesus told us where to fix our eyes
during times of trouble. Jesus said, “Now when these things begin to
happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws
near.” If we really believe that we are living in the Last Days, perhaps
we need to start living a life that invests in the things that are eternal
and not on the things that are temporal.
As a note of encouragement, as some of you may know, Chuck
Missler was taken to the hospital in mid-January with a severe case
of pneumonia. We put out a call for prayer and within a very short
period of time tens of thousands of
people were interceding for Chuck.
To everyone’s amazement, Chuck’s
rate of recovery was a testimony of
God’s healing power. Once again,
everyone at Koinonia House and
Koinonia Institute would like to offer
our heartfelt thanks to all of you who
co-laboured with us through prayer
during Chuck’s time of need.
God bless you,
Ron Matsen

LOOKING
FOR SPOIL
his message from the LORD came to me:
“Son of Man, turn your attention toward Gog, from the land
of Magog, the chief noble of Meshech, and Tubal. Prophesy this
against him: ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: “Watch out! I’m
coming after you, Gog, chief ruler of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal. I’m
going to turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and bring you
out—you and your whole army—along with your horses and cavalry
riders, all of them richly attired, a magnificent company replete with
buckler and shield, and all of them wielding battle swords. Persia,
6
Cush, and Libya will be accompanying them, all
of them equipped with shields and helmets. Gomer
with all its troops, and the household of Togarmah
from the remotest parts of the north with all its
troops—many people will accompany you.”
Ezekiel 38:1–6, ISV
World events have made many people turn to this
passage and see if current events mark the beginning
of the fulfilment of this prophecy. As events unfold,
these verses take on more meaning than at any other
time in history.

The Magog Alliance
Ezekiel’s Prophecy
The meaning of the name “Gog” is uncertain.
The name appears only here and in 1 Chronicles 5:4
in the Old Testament where it identifies one of the
sons of Reuben. In the New Testament it appears only
once in Revelation 20:8. The associated place name,
Magog, appears in the table of nations in Genesis 10:2
with Gomer, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras,
all sons of Japheth. It also is found in Revelation 20:8.

Modern Day Players
The above passage describes an invasion of Israel from the north.
Later verses describe its destruction once they reach the area of the
mountains of Israel. To fully understand the prophecy, one needs to
identify the major players in this divine drama.
In verses 1–4, Gog is first mentioned. He is described as the leader
of the land of Magog. He is the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal.
This leader was as unknown to Ezekiel as he is to us today. We do know
“Gog” is not a proper name but a title for the ruler of Magog, just as
the terms “pharaoh,” “kaiser,” and “czar” were titles for rulers and not
proper names.
The tribes identified as Magog, Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal can be
identified by Scripture and other ancient writings as peoples who once
occupied the areas of modern-day Russia. Magog, Meshech, and Tubal
were between the Black and Caspian Seas, which today include parts
of Iran, Turkey and southern Russia. Some historians1 believe the tribes
of Meshech and Tubal later gave their names to cities that today bear
the names of Moscow, Russia’s capital and Tobolsk, a major city in the
Urals in Siberia. Rosh was in what is now northern Russia. The name
Rosh is the basis for the modern name Russia. These names, then, cover
the modern territories of northern and southern Russia in Europe and
Siberia to the east in Asia. The modern nation of Russia encompasses all
these areas mentioned in Ezekiel. To highlight the point, verses 38:15 and
39:2 state these areas lay in the farthest parts of the north. If one would
head due north from Israel, a traveler would find themselves in Russia,
with Moscow being almost a straight line due north from Jerusalem.
Therefore, it is reasonable to assume modern-day Russia is the country
that leads this northern confederacy, with Gog as its leader. This has
also been the rabbinic view. The Artscroll Commentary on Ezekiel states:
The Gaonim had a tradition that these controls were indeed located in
Russia… One tradition passed down from the Vilna Gaon states:
When the Russian Navy passes through the Bospores [Bosporus Strait]
(that is, on the way to Dardanelles), it will be time to put on Sabbath
clothes (in anticipation of the coming of the Messiah).
1 Hesiod, Herodotus of Halicarnassus, Flavius Josephus, and Philo to name a few.
8
In the rabbinic view, during the Magog war, Messiah, the son of
Joseph will be killed which will then bring the coming of the Messiah,
the son of David.
Persia
In this scenario Russia is not alone in the invasion of Israel.
She is the leader of a confederation. The other nations involved are
listed in verses 5–6. Iran (ancient Persia) is also part of that confederacy.
Once a pro-West, pro-Israel bulwark against the Arab States, Iran made a
180-degree turn in the aftermath of the 1979 Islamic Iranian Revolution.
Iran drew closer to the atheistic Soviet Union and its successor, Russia.
Make no mistake. This is only a marriage of convenience as far as Iran
is concerned. Jihadists may chant “Death to America, Death to Israel,”
but they hate the Russians just as much. Iran allies with Russia only
because it serves their immediate purpose. Iran, along with Sudan and
Syria, has been classified as state sponsors of terrorism according to the
U.S. Department of State.
Cush & Phut
Another one of the players is the land of Cush. The term is used
both for a person (son of Ham) and a place (Gen. 2:13; Psa. 68:31;
Isa. 18:1.) Phut is mentioned next. This nation is also descended from a
son of Ham, but as a nation is commonly identified as Libya, although
it has been argued it was the Punt of Egyptian records, somewhere
along the northeast coast of Africa, perhaps Somalia. Its association
with Egypt, Cush, and Canaan and the usage of the name in the
Old Testament makes the Libyan location probable.
Gomer and Togarmah
Next comes Gomer. Gomer was a Son of Japheth (Gen. 10:2, 3;
1 Chr. 1:5, 6) The Midrash calls Gomer Germania as does the Talmud.
Last in the list is Togarmah, which is present-day Armenia. Verse six adds
the phrase, with all its troops—many people will accompany you. This trope
may simply define the numbers of the nations already mentioned, or it
may include other nations not previously mentioned. In all probability,
it is the former that is implied.

COVER
CONTENTS ORDER
From the text, it would appear the nations involved in an attack
against Israel include, but may not be limited to, an alliance involving
Iran, Ethiopia, Somalia, Germany and Armenia, with Russia as
their leader.
One thing that should stand out to the reader is not a single Arab
nation participates in this invasion. While some of the nations listed here
are Moslem, they are not Arab. Another observation is these nations are
geographically located both north and south of Israel, but it is Russia that
is the controlling nation and allied with Moslem, but non-Arab, states.
One needs to remember
a system of government
was never mentioned
in Scripture, merely
geographic areas.
Before 1991, this passage
of Ezekiel had been interpreted
as being a communist invasion.
With the fall of the Iron Curtain
and the dissolution of the Soviet
Empire, many have had to rethink
this passage. One can find many
works on the bargain book table that became passé in view
of modern events. While there is no longer an “Evil Empire,”
as President Reagan termed it does not mean the “Russian” interpretation
of the passage has to be completely abandoned. One needs to remember
a system of government was never mentioned in Scripture, merely
geographic areas. Place names may change, but geography does not.
The Orthodox Jewish commentary Artscroll on Ezekiel 38:2 make
this observation:
“Yerushalayim Megillah 3:7, which renders Magog as Gutiya (or Gutya,
…) the Goths, a group of nomadic tribes who destroyed the Scythians and
made their home in Scythian territory.
Considering that the Goths were a Germanic people, the identification
of Magog’s descendants as the Goths in accord with Targum Yonasan to
Genesis 10:2, which renders Magog as Geramemia, which in Bereshit
Rabbah 37:1 is given as Germanya.”
10
The Nature of the Attack
The next section of this passage, Ezekiel 38:7–9, answers the question
as to where the invasion takes place:
Be prepared. Yes, prepare yourself—you and all of your many
battalions that have gathered together around you to protect you.
“Many days from now—in the latter years—you will be summoned
to a land that has been restored from violence. You will be gathered
from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which formerly had
been a continual waste, but which will be populated with people who
have been brought back from the nations. All of them will be living
there securely. You’ll arise suddenly, like a tornado, coming like a
windstorm to cover the land, you and all your soldiers with you,
along with many nations.
Verse 7 continues to name Gog as the leader of this confederacy
and verse 8 names the specific location of where the invasion takes
place: the Land of Israel, more specifically in the mountains of Israel.
Verse nine goes on to describe the size of the invasion. It is absolutely
massive, painting a picture of a storm cloud that covers the entire land.
These verses introduce a concept that was not true until recent times:
a modern Jewish state.
Later on is another passage that shows the necessity of the
establishment of the Jewish State and a regathering in unbelief. Israel
has to be a state before this invasion can occur. Regardless of one’s
viewpoint as to when this invasion occurs, each viewpoint does require
the preexistence of the Jewish State. Verse eight describes this Jewish
State as:
1)A land that has been restored from violence.
2)A land that will be populated with people who
have been brought back from the nations.
3)A land with mountains that have been a continual
waste. and
4)A land that is brought forth out of the peoples.
11
COVER
CONTENTS ORDER
Ezekiel is not describing an Israel that ever existed in ancient
times, but all these statements are true of present-day Israel. This began
occurring toward the end of the nineteenth century, culminating with
statehood in 1948. It was a nation as Isaiah described being born in a
single day.
Before the formation of the
State of Israel, what was known by many as Palestine was
indeed a wasteland. As Mark Twain wrote in The Innocents Abroad:
Nazareth is forlorn ... Jericho the accursed lies a moldering ruin today,
even as Joshua’s miracle left it more than three thousand years ago:
Bethlehem and Bethany… have nothing about them now to remind one
that they once knew the high honor of the Savior’s presence;… Bethsaida
and Chorzin have vanished from the earth, and the “desert places”
round about them, where thousands of men once listened to the Savior’s
voice and ate the miraculous bread, sleep in the hush of a solitude that is
inhabited only by birds of prey and skulking foxes.
Since then, the waste places have been rebuilt and resettled on
a more massive scale.
12
Furthermore, Israel in this passage is regathered in unbelief, for only
after the invasion do many in Israel turn to the Lord. So yet another
passage demands a restored Jewish State in unbelief.
The Purpose of the Attack
Ezekiel 38:10–13, answers the question as to why this invasion takes
place on the part of Russia:
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This is what’s going to happen on
the very day that you begin your invasion: You’ll be thinking, making
evil plans and boasting, “I’m going to invade a land comprised of
open country that is at rest, its people living confidently, all of whose
inhabitants will be living securely, with neither fortification nor bars
on their doors. I’m going to confiscate anything I can put my hands on.
I’ll attack the restored ruins and the people who have been gathered
together from the nations, who are acquiring livestock and other
goods, and who live at the center of the world’s attention. Businessmen
based in Sheba, Dedan, Tarshish, and all of its growling lions will
ask you, “Are you coming for war spoils? Have you assembled your
armies to carry off silver and gold, and to gather lots of war booty?” ’ Ezekiel 38:10–13, ISV
The Spoils of War
The reason for the Russian-led invasion is to take spoil (booty).
What Russia is exactly looking for is not stated in the text. The text
mentions livestock, goods, silver and gold. However, these are general
Old Testament references for the spoils of war. Much speculation
has been involved in what it is Israel has that Russia would want.
Given what a traveler would find in the land before the formation of the
State of Israel, one would think Russia was in dire need of sand and rocks.
Closer investigation of the region led to the realization that the
answer could have been found in the Dead Sea. The waters of the
Dead Sea contain over 45 billion tons of sodium, chlorine, sulfur,
potassium, calcium, magnesium and bromide. These chemicals have
their uses; indeed, magnesium has been called “The King of Minerals”
because of its varied medical uses. Going to war, however for a bunch
of salt is unlikely.

After the 1967 Six-Day War another explanation was offered for a
Russian invasion of the Promised Land. Scientists searching the Sinai
Peninsula in the five years after Israel captured it from Egypt found signs
of copper, tungsten, and feldspar deposits under the shifting sands of
the desert. Tungsten is an expensive, rare metal used for hardening steel
and other high-grade metals. Some believed these ores could be part of
the spoils the Magog alliance would try to wrench from the Israel.
The year 2009, however, brought further clarity of the passage,
for it was in January of that year the Tamar gas field was discovered.
The Tamar gas field was a major gas find in the Mediterranean Sea off
the coast of Israel. The field is located in Israel’s exclusive economic zone,
14
roughly 50 miles (80 km) west of Haifa in waters over one mile (1,700
meters) deep. People’s interest was really piqued the following year when
in December 2010 another gas field was discovered. The Leviathan gas
field is a large natural gas formation in the Mediterranean Sea off the
coast of Israel, 30 miles (47 km) southwest of the Tamar.
Delekenergy Site - Tamar offshore gas fields.
What could be the final piece of the puzzle may have been supplied
in October 2014 when oil was discovered in the Golan Heights.
Because of these three discoveries Israel has become a much more
attractive target for supplying the spoils of war. Together, the Tamar
and Leviathan fields are estimated to contain 1 trillion (1,000 billion)
cubic feet of natural gas, enough to supply Israel’s energy needs for the
next 50 years. (Though those of us who take the Bible seriously doubt
it will need natural gas for that long.)
The oil field in the Golan Heights is also looking to be a major energy
find. Israeli business website Globes quotes Yuval Bartov, chief geologist
of Afek Oil and Gas as saying:
15
COVER
CONTENTS ORDER
We are talking about a strata [sic] which is 350 meters thick and what
is important is the thickness and the porosity. On average in the world
strata are 20-30 meters thick, so this is ten times as large as that, so we are
talking about significant quantities. The important thing is to know the
oil is in the rock and that’s what we now know.
The estimated size of the field, if found to be true, would make Israel
a world player in the oil market.
Enter Russia
This is where things get interesting.
Assuming Israel can get around its own bureaucratic morass and
develop these fields, it has a few export markets it can service. If they
decide to export some of their production, the only viable markets
available to them are in Egypt, Jordan and possibly Turkey. Given those
countries current energy needs and the price they would pay, those
markets do not look very attractive.
There is one other place, however, that could prove lucrative –
Europe.
Europe is starving for hydrocarbons. That continent was on a
program of going nuclear, but after the nuclear power plant disaster
in Fukushima, Japan, the EU has cooled to using atomic power for
its energy needs. In fact, several countries, Germany in particular,
is shutting down their nuclear power plants. The EU is trying to
replace nuclear power with alternative energy sources, but they cannot
bring these sources on-line fast enough to make up the energy deficit.
That leaves hydrocarbons to fill in the breech.
Much of the EU’s oil needs came from Libya, but since the Arab
Spring, much of that oil has dried up. That has left the three largest
oil suppliers to Europe being the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan and
Azerbaijan. (Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan are largely under Russian
influence.) As for gas, Russia has supplied Europe with the lion’s share
of its needs, which has left Europe beholden to Russian interests.
This became painfully clear in January 2009 when Russia shut off
natural gas supplies to Europe in the wake of the Ukrainian Civil War.
16
Europe imports about half its natural gas from Russia (about 15% of its
total imports) through the Ukraine pipelines. When Russia expressed its
displeasure at the European sanctions against it by closing the gas valves
to the EU capitals, the only thing Europe could do was shiver in the dark.
Russia likes having this giant energy stick to use against the
Europeans and will try mightily hard to keep it.
That is one reason Russia is in Syria.
The Syrian Card
Competing Gas Pipelines to Europe (Kaht)
Even before the Ukrainian gas embargo, Europe had been looking at
alternative gas pipeline routes bypassing Russia. There were two routes
proposed, one through Iran and Iraq, the other through the more prowestern Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Both pipelines however pass through
Syria. President Assad, wanting to curry favor with his Russian patron
17
COVER
CONTENTS ORDER
(and realizing there was a major Russian naval station sitting in his
backyard in the port of Tartus,) would not approve either pipeline,
hence keeping Russia the dominant player in Europe’s natural gas mix.
Many believe that refusal bred the start of the Syrian Civil War.
The natural gas exporting countries, both Sunni and Shia, decided they
needed Assad out of the way to open an avenue for their gas to enter
European markets.
Vladimir Putin jumped into Syria with both feet to assure Assad
stayed in power and Russia’s dominance in the EU remained in place.
Russian President, Vladimir Putin
Here comes Israel
Imagine the Kremlin’s concern when huge gas and oil fields were
found in Israel in an area where both gas and oil could be transported
under the Mediterranean to Europe, bypassing Russia.
It doesn’t take a large stretch of the imagination to see Russia moving
in to stabilize the situation in Syria and then moving further south
into Israel.
18
Ezekiel’s prophecy does not lay out Magog’s entire battle plan and
maybe Russia only would see a move on Israel as Act One of a bigger
play of gaining a solid foothold on the entire Middle East hydrocarbon
supplies. A Russian takeover of Israel would give Russia such a foothold
without overly upsetting the Arabs since they would be in favor of the
destruction of Israel even though they would be very nervous if it means
a Russian army in the area.
Regardless of the publicly stated reasons for Russia’s interest in Syria,
the main reason for their involvement is self-interest. It is stated in verse
ten that the invasion is premeditated by the Russians, for they will be
thinking, making evil plans and resolve to invade for the purpose of spoils
(vv. 11–12). (And whether the others admit it or not, self-interest is the
reason for the involvement of the other players, both East and West.
If the main export of Syria were mangoes, no one would be there.)
In verse 13, a second group of merchant nations are listed as
protesting this invasion, for they recognize it to be an invasion for spoil
and for nothing else Businessmen based in Sheba, Dedan, Tarshish, and all
of its growling lions will ask you, “Are you coming for war spoils? Have you
assembled your armies to carry off silver and gold, and to gather lots of war
booty?”(ISV) Sheba and Dedan are countries in northern Arabia, which
shows that at least some of the Arab states will not favor the Russian
presence in the Middle East. Another nation named is Tarshish, followed
by the phrase with all the growling lions thereof. This phrase is a Hebrew
idiom meaning nations that have come out of Tarshish. (The Revised
Standard Version translates the idiom as all its villages).
So Where Is Tarshish?
While the idiom may be clear, the identity of Tarshish and those
other “growling lions” are not. Some scholars place Tarshish as a place
as distant from Israel. Many countries have been proposed as the site for
Tarshish, from Sardinia to Great Britain. The most commonly accepted
identification is Spain where the name Tartessus hints at Tarshish.
If Spain is the Tarshish of Ezekiel, the nations spawned would include
those of Central and South America, and possible even Brazil if one
accepts the texts as describing geography rather than political systems.
19
COVER
CONTENTS ORDER
(Brazil was settled by Portugal, not Spain, but the two countries share
the Iberian Peninsula.) Another proposed location was in England, and
if this is what was meant by Tarshish, the growling lions could include
the United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other
present-day western democracies. (This would answer the question some
ask, “Where is the United States in End-Time Prophecy?”)
Regardless of the exact identity of Tarshish, it is this group that
issues a protest. However, it does not go beyond the protest stage. Russia
invades, and then the invading army is disposed of with no help from
the protestors.
God’s Rebuke
In Ezekiel 38:14–16, the invasion is seen as having begun and further
answers the question why, but this time it is seen from God’s viewpoint:
Therefore, Son of Man, prophesy to Gog and tell him, ‘This is what
the Lord GOD says: “When the day comes when my people are living
securely, won’t you be aware of it? You’ll come in from your home in
the remotest parts of the north. You’ll come with many nations, all
of them riding along on horses. You’ll be a huge, combined army.
You’ll come up to invade my people Israel like a storm cloud to cover
the land. In the last days, Gog, I’ll bring you up to invade my land
so that the world will learn to know me when I show them how holy
I am before their very eyes.” ’
In verses 14–16a, the invasion begins and the confederate army
covers the land like a storm cloud in massive swarms. Hence, there is
initial success by Russia. In verse 16b, God’s reason is given for allowing
this invasion to occur, as over against Russia’s reasons given in the
preceding verses: that He might be sanctified in the eyes of the nations
in light of what is about to occur.
The Final Act
In the final demonstration of God’s power in the prophecy, Ezekiel
38:17–23 describes how God moves out in judgment (vv. 17–18) to
destroy the invading army. This is followed by the answer to the question
20
of how the invading army is disposed of and destroyed. Several causes
are listed: earthquake (vv. 19–20); civil war breaking out among the
invading soldiers themselves (v. 21); pestilence, blood, flood, hailstones,
fire and brimstone (v. 22). Since these things destroy the invading army
without the aid of other nations, God’s purpose is seen as succeeding in
its objective. God will show His holiness and make Himself known in
the eyes of many people (v. 23).
Watching from the Mezzanine
However these events unfold, if the pre-Tribulation view is correct
(and we believe it is), we will watch these events, the gathering, the
final battle and the aftermath from the mezzanine. All of these events
will have been preceded by the Harpazo, commonly called the Rapture.
In the meantime, we are undoubtedly living in exciting times, times
in which prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes. If the events seem
too trying all we need to do is look up and remember the last verses
John wrote in Revelation:
“The one who is testifying to these things says, “Yes, I am coming
soon!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! May the grace of the Lord Jesus be
with all the saints. Amen.”
Revelation 22:20–21, ISV

Profiling the Future Through the Lens of Scripture
Chuck Missler takes readers on an eye-opening journey, showing them how
our time is an exciting fulfillment of prophecy. Profoundly provocative, this
book allows us to get a clear view of what past Biblical prophecies mean for
both the present and the future. Through careful exegesis, Missler posits that
the Biblical track record in accurate prophecy offers understanding of likely
future events across the ever-changing globe. But he doesn't engage
in guess-work. Instead, Missler:
•examines important trends on today's geopolitical and technological
horizons through the eyes of Scripture's prophetic calendar:
•analyzes the likely end-time effects of global changes,
from the nature of modern weaponry to the implications
of the world's attitude toward the nation of Islam: and
•highlights our resulting spiritual responsibilities in scientific,
social, and political arenas.

There continue to be many questions concerning the "Rapture" of the Church
and its apparent contrast with the "Second Coming" of Jesus Christ. Where
does this strange view come from? Is the term "rapture" even in the Bible?
Clearly, the idea of the Rapture can be considered the most preposterous
belief in Biblical Christianity. The situation regarding the doctrine of the
Rapture is painfully similar to the famous quote by Dr. Richard Feynman,
speaking of quantum physics:
I think it is safe to say that no one understands quantum mechanics...
in fact, it is often stated of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest
is quantum theory. Some say that the only thing that quantum theory has
going for it, in fact, is that it is unquestionably correct.

AGAPE IS GOD HIMSELF
This month as I was reflecting on my dear friend, Nancy, and
the legacy of love that she left, I wanted to highlight a few of the
foundational teachings that she brought to The King’s High Way
Ministries about Agape.
As Christians, growing in love for God and one another are the two
most important things that we have been called to do while on this earth.
These two things will determine if we have had a successful life or not.
How do we grow in love for God and others?
First of all by getting an understanding that God’s Love, Agape,
is different than human love. Agape is God Himself working through
us. The only way that can happen is for us to give Him an empty and
cleansed vessel to use. We just need to be willing to surrender and set
ourselves aside.
How does Scripture teach us to do that? The three products that we
are advertising this month are resources that will teach the “how to” of
having the more abundant life.
Are you willing to relinquish yourself so that God’s Love can be
released through you to others?
Let 2016 be a year of going deeper in the Word. Let’s grow to love
Him more and more. Let’s start a momentum to spread His Love in
our marriages, in our homes, in our churches and
around the world.
1 John 4:16 says, God is love, and he who
abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
En Agape,

He speaks and writes on

Strategic Perspectives
conference in Coeur d’Alene Idaho last October
opened by focusing the listener on the phrase “Jesus is
the Truth and Satan is a Liar.” Satan’s words to Eve in
the garden “Hath God said?” (Genesis 3:1) endures as
his primary strategy today. His wiles - both to deceive
“if it were possible even the elect” (Mark 13:22) and to
disguise himself “as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians
11:14) - know neither continent nor century. Solomon wrote, “There is
nothing new under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9) and we are wise to apply
this to Satan’s strategy of deception today. Among Paul’s final words to
Timothy he said, “For the time will come when they will not endure
sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the
truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” (2 Timothy 4:3-4). The Berean
believer maintains a diligence to protect and profess the Truth. The Word
of God is Truth (John 17:17); Jesus is the Word (John 1:1-3,14); Jesus
it the Truth (John 14:6). A mathematician quickly sees the “transitive

property” in the previous sentence which can be summarized: If A is B
and B is C, then A is C. The three - Jesus, the Word and the Truth - are
inseparable and any assault on one is an assault on the other two.
We exposed this three-faceted assault on the Truth by the public
education system during previous conference presentations and Personal
Update articles. The enlightened Gnostic challenged by John in his
New Testament epistles now occupy all sorts of academic positions and
hold all sorts of academic parchments. School curricula and scholastic
culture marginalize the truth about the Truth. Satan pursues the same
foothold in kindergartens today as he did in the “Eden-garden” long
ago. The erosion of truth through our public schools today masquerades
as revisionist history, evolutionary science, values education, diversity
tolerance, multicultural awareness, and situational conundrums.
C.S. Lewis wrote in his book
“(T)he old (education)
The Abolition of Man, “(T)he old
was a kind of
(education) was a kind of propagation
- men transmitting manhood to

ongoing political and bureaucratic
“reforms” to replace teachers with technology; parents with co-parents;
common sense with Common Core; and local regulatory control with
federal money and mandates. Since the conference, President Obama
signed into law the most recent reauthorization of Johnson’s 1965 bill
dubbed the “Elementary and Secondary Education Act” or ESEA.
We do well as parents and as taxpayers to monitor the trajectory and
tactics of the school reform movement. Few public policies have such a
direct and daily effect on our families and on our faith.
Which one - Jesus, the Word or the Truth - is being attacked in
John 8 wherein families, specifically fatherhood, served as the topic
under debate between Jesus and the Pharisees? In verse 19 the Pharisees
ask Jesus, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus concludes His response with
“You are of your father the devil (who) is a liar and the father of it.”
28
The Pharisees wanted to discredit Jesus because nobody could identify
His biological father. The Pharisees twist the fundamental doctrine of the
virgin birth of Jesus - hinted at in Genesis 3:15 (“the seed of the woman”)
and revealed in Isaiah 7:10-15 - beyond recognition. Isaiah records a
conversation between God and Ahaz in which God gives a miraculous
and unmistakable sign of the identity of the Messiah. “Therefore the
Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and
bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Of course the identity of
the biological father of the Messiah would be unavailable; this passage
makes clear no man will hold a legitimate claim to that title. And yet
the learned Pharisees changed the sign of the Messiah into a suspicion
of Him. Which one is under attack - all three are under attack because
Jesus, the Word and the Truth are inseparable.
History credits Plato with developing the Correspondence Theory
of Truth which essentially proposes the truth or falsehood of a statement
is determined by its correspondence to the reality in the world around
it. Bertrand Russell reduces succinctly this theory to the idea that a
belief is true when it corresponds to a fact and it is false when there is
no corresponding fact. While this seems axiomatic it fails to align with
the popular notion of truth today.

Consider the following four examples:
• Despite an objective measurement called Body Mass Index (BMI)
which suggests otherwise, some people suffer from eating disorders
when they, despite having a low BMI, identify themselves with
overweight people.
• Despite every gene in the body identifying the gender of the
individual, society defends the right of the individual to self-assign
a gender identity.
• Rachel Dolezal made headlines in 2015 when, while holding
the title of the president of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), she was white instead
of black as she claimed. She explained, “I identify as black.”
• A lesser known example of what may be called “identification
truth” occurs when otherwise healthy individuals maim their arms
or legs because they identify with disabled people. These so-called
“transabled” individuals go beyond mere identification and actually
make themselves disabled.
Society’s response...
Denying your size is a
disease, denying your
skin color is dishonest,
denying your gender
is dauntless and some
denial is even disturbing.
Not only would these conflicts
between the truth and the facts
likely chafe Bertrand Russell, but
society’s response ranges from calling
one a disease, another dishonest,
yet another dauntless, and the last
one disturbing.
So where do we go from here? This begins a multi-part series
designed to equip the serious Christian to embrace the obligation
and opportunity evident when Paul described the Church as
“The Church of the Living God which is the Pillar and Foundation
of the Truth.” (1 Timothy 3:15). In the meantime, you might want
to take a look at several Koinonia House products featured on the

The doctrine of the trinity has been at the heart of much theological
controversy. The routine objection is that the doctrine sacrifices monotheism
to “tritheism.” But this objection thrives on a misconception of divine
personality in the image of disparate, individual, human selves.
This type of rationalistic apologetics, promotive of trinitarianism on
speculative rather than revelational grounds, regrettably encourages this
misunderstanding.
One of the reasons we suffer such misunderstanding is due to our relying on
“models.”
Chuck explores the ostensible tensions between the Old and New Testament
revelations of the ultimate mystery of the Godhead. This is a foundational
study for every Christian.

f all the end-time themes discussed in the Bible—such as global
disasters (Mt 24), the rise of the global super-state, the identity
of the Antichrist, the mark of the beast, and the Magog invasion
(Ezek 38-39)—deception and apostasy in the church is listed more
times than any other end-time sign of the times. In fact, I would say
that end-times deception is the greatest threat to Christians alive today.
Therefore, we need to consider what we can do to safeguard ourselves
and our families.
The Age of Apostasy
Jesus warned in His Olivet Discourse saying,
“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many
will grow cold.1 In both his letter to Timothy and the
Thessalonians the apostle Paul warns them that “in
latter times some will depart from the faith,”2 and “that
Day will not come unless the falling away comes first.”3
In both references Paul is writing about apostasy.

The Antidote for Apostasy
1)Stay Connected: The writer to the Hebrews states, “Let us hold
fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for
He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one
another in order to stir up love and good works, not
forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is
the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and
so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”4
The Church is not called to build bunkers but
to gather with the brethren so that the Body of
Christ may be built up and the Gospel might be preached.
Fellowship with Christians you trust is essential. Secure alliances
with fellow Believers provides bridges rather than fences.
Remember the wisdom from Solomon, “A man who isolates
himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all wise judgment.”5
2)Stay Sharp: Peter identified the objective of Satan by stating,
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary
the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking
whom he may devour.”6 Paul warned Timothy,
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a
worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth.” Soberness is a state
of mind. This mind is not controlled by the
influences of the World. Although there is so much
out there that is competing for our attention and affections, we
need to be very careful concerning those influences that dull
our senses and captivate our heart. A misused personal freedom
is a double bondage. Paul put it this was, “All things are lawful
for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me,
but I will not be brought under the power of any.”7 In contrast, a
sharp mind will see danger and avoid it.
4 Hebrews 10:25
5 Proverbs 18:1
6 1 Peter 5:8
7 1 Corinthians 6:12
36
3)Stay on Target: There are many voices that are crying out for
attention or offering advice in theses troubling
times. Therefore, many people seek the safety
of their own personal storehouses. They tend to
major on the minor issues which causes them to
miss the major issues of life itself; the temporal
eclipses the eternal. Jesus taught, “Do not lay up
for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and
rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth
nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”8
Again, in review of Paul’s instructions to Timothy we see him
saying, “Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation,
to doctrine. Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was
given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the
eldership. Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them,
that your progress may be evident to all. Take heed to yourself and
to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save
both yourself and those who hear you.”9 We should never under
estimate the power and provision of God toward those who
trust in Him.10
4)Stay in God’s Word: Our best source of direction for the
course of our life is the resource of God’s
eternal Word. Most of us are familiar with
2 Timothy 3:16, “All Scripture is given by inspiration
of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly
equipped for every good work.” Do we actually use the
Word of God as our primary source for guidance and
protection? Do we weigh our decisions on the scales of the Holy
Scripture, do we drive our opinions through the gates of Biblical
scrutiny, or do test our passions in the fire of God’s judgment?

“How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed

I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways.
I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.
Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against
You. Blessed are You, O Lord! Teach me Your statutes. With my
