Understanding the Times

In light of the current Middle East conflict, we air one of Dr. Mark Hitchcock's "Understanding the Times 2012" messages: "Middle East Burning: What Does it Mean?" Mark looks carefully at the Gog-Magog war found in Ezekiel 38-39, but also considers the general unrest of the region. We are reminded again how current events are setting the stage for the return of the Lord. Keep your eye on the Middle East and you will never be bored. You can find CDs and DVDs of our conference here.

We play one of Dr. Erwin Lutzer's messages at "Understanding the Times 2012," One Minute After You Die: A Preview of Your Final Destination. One minute after you die you will be either elated or terrified . . . and it will be too late to reroute your travel plans. When you slip behind the parted curtain, your life will not be over. Rather, it will be just beginning -- in a place of unimaginable bliss or indescribable gloom. This message stirred tremendous response at our fall conference. We offer Lutzer's book found here. Conference CDs and DVDs are found here.

Jan hosts and interviews Christian economist John Terry and Christian commentator Jack Kinsella. America voted to become socialistic Europe and that has consequences. The three discuss those issues for the entire hour. The "fiscal cliff" is looming where every American will suffer economically. Liberalism is about to consume America and it only destroys. The election results can only be further judgment on America although no one is in a state of mind to hear that. Where was God in this election? Since he sets up kings and tears them down, He was a key component. They also discuss the Benghazi debacle which should have sunk Barack Obama were it not for a complicit media. We are in very perilous times and America IS in Bible prophecy: II Timothy 3. We are a nation consumed by people who love self, money, and evil. And that is the inconvenient truth. Jan, John, and Jack offer hope, however, because without hope, the heart grows sick.

Eric Barger and Jill Martin Rische co-host the first segment and consider America's roots and Founding Fathers. Were they Godly or hostile to the gospel? Joining them is Pastor Dan Fisher, an expert on Revolutionary times. Fisher’s expertise concerning the Christian leaders during the formation of America is second to none. While there may be differing views on this topic, this ministry considers Barger, Rische and Fisher as having insights worthy of attention. Also, pastors and churches were very active on behalf of the country. Today many tremble at "separation of church and state" issues which are irrelevant. In part 2, Jan interviews White House correspondent Bill Koenig on election countdown issues just days before the most important election in U.S. history. Barger, Rische and Fisher do a Web bonus extra. See below for details. www.bringingbacktheblackrobedregiment.com www.ericbarger.com www.waltermartin.com www.watch.org We carry Barger's outstanding DVD on America found here.

WEB BONUS EXTRA: Eric Barger and Jill Martin Rische continue with guest, Dan Fisher, discussing America’s Christian foundation. Fisher details some of the heroic, yet little known acts of the revolutionary preachers who became known as “The Black Robed Regiment.” Their impact on the national leaders who formed America is stunning. Join us for this informational and also inspirational discussion appropriate at this election season. Our founding pastors clearly served both God and country.

Part 1 features Jan and Eric Barger interviewing author and radio host Mike LeMay concerning his new book, "The Suicide of American Christianity." American Christianity is dying a slow death at its own hands. Instead of positively affecting the secular culture, we are being infected by it under the guise of being "seeker-friendly" and "loving." Soon, the church may be an exact mirror of the culture that seeks to destroy us. In its attempt to be cool, the church is drinking the Kool-Aid of secular humanism, losing its salt, and becoming irrelevant. In part 2, Jill Martin Rische and Eric Barger explore the new occult. It's that time of year again -- the season when evil is celebrated. They provide cutting-edge information. Jill and Eric have both authored major books unveiling the occult and all of its trappings. We carry LeMay's book and it is found here. Eric Barger's book is found here. Jill Rische's book is found here. www.standupfortruth.com www.ericbarger.com www.waltermartin.com

Jan's guest is Joel Rosenberg. America's survival is now a common discussion topic. Is this because she blends into the one-world system or because of God's judgment, causing her implosion? Or could a "third great awakening" cause a halt to the downward spiral? Jan and Joel also talk some Middle East issues as the "epicenter" continues to be the focus of the world. America is a nation in decline and she now faces the most important election in her history. Could this be a key to turning her around? Find Joel's book "Implosion" here.

Jan hosts as she and her team, Chris Heeb and Larry Kutzler, report on a recent "Hope for the Holy Land" pro-peace rally at Bethel University in St. Paul. Does being pro-Palestinian really translate into being pro-peace? If one is “pro Palestine” in the sense of embracing the diabolical “land for peace” initiative, or even the “two-state solution,” one cannot in any real sense be pro Israel. Was this a genuine pro-peace effort or just a deception to bring naive students into the anti-Israel fold? Participants included Lynn Hybels, Sami Awad, and a rep from World Vision, long known for their Replacement Theology position. No Jewish history was cited, no Scripture was quoted, and no pro-Israel position was allowed into the forum. The president of Bethel University closed with his pro-Palestinian position while seemingly denouncing the "traditional" pro-Israel position he grew up with. If this is the trend among younger evangelicals, the biblically-prophesied abandonment of Israel is hastening. Chris Heeb heads "Good News for Israel." Learn more at www.gnfi.org

Guest hosts Eric Barger and Larry Kutzler talk about the most important man in your life: Your pastor. Most people have no idea how tough it is to be a pastor and how many of them quit in frustration, and with a broken heart. The statistics are shocking. They interview numerous pastors who give a frank analysis. This isn't a broken system -- it's broken people: Both pastors and sheep. Note: We are conducting "Understanding the Times 2012." Pray for us.

Jonathan Cahn returns with hosts Jan Markell, Eric Barger, and Jill Martin Rische. There have been remarkable circumstances taking place since the release of "The Harbinger" and the DVD, "The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment." It's not too late for America. God always honors the repentant heart and in the Bible, he honored entire cities that repented. Many ministries weigh in stating their strong belief that this may be God's final warning to America. A pastor reports on changed lives. But nearly a dozen sound bytes are played of Christian leaders warning that America is on borrowed time. Cahn, Dr. Erwin Lutzer, Dr. Mark Hitchcock, and Bill Koenig all participate in this ministry's "Understanding the Times 2012" conference next weekend. Find the DVD here. We do not carry the book.
