CAN THE RAPTURE BE FOUND IN SCRIPTURE?

Someone recently asked, “Show one Bible verse proving a pre-tribulation rapture.” That question assumes prophecy is built on one isolated verse. The Bible almost never teaches major doctrines that way. Instead, God reveals truth line upon line, passage upon passage, forming a consistent picture when Scripture is allowed to interpret itself.

The catching away of believers, often called the rapture, is not built on one verse. It is taught across multiple Ne...  more
THE DIDACHE:
THE LOST BLUEPRINT OF THE EARLY CHURCH
Most Christians have never heard of the Didache.
But if you care about what the church looked like before denominations, before institutional power, before centuries of theological layering, this document matters.
The Didache was written between 70 and 120 AD. That places it within the lifetime of people who were discipled by the apostles themselves.
It is not legend. It is not medieval tradition. It is first generation Christianity.
The ...  more
Hello Sir John, very interesting! I appreciate the history of the church and though not scripture as you stated, it adds to the history of the life of the Christian church.

WHAT IS A BAPTIST?

Baptists are a Protestant branch of Christianity that emerged in the early 1600s in England. One of the early figures connected to the movement was John Smyth. From there, the movement spread rapidly, especially in America, where Baptists became one of the largest Christian groups.

The name “Baptist” comes from their central conviction about baptism. Baptists believe baptism should be for believers only, meaning a person is baptized after personally placing faith in Jesus Ch...  more
THE 300 WHO WATCHED WHILE THEY DRANK:
Judges 7 is one of those passages people quote but don’t really study.
Gideon starts with 32,000 men. God reduces it to 10,000. Then He says, Bring them to the water. I will separate them there.
Not in combat. Not in training. At a stream.
Some of the men knelt down and put their faces directly into the water to drink.
Three hundred scooped the water into their hands and brought it to their mouths.
That’s it. That’s the difference.
And God chose the 3...  more
Part 1 of 12
Daniel 1:1 – 2:39
Introduction: What Does the Book Actually Say?
When approaching the Book of Daniel, the first question must always be:
What does the text say?
Not what tradition says.
Not what popular prophecy teachers say.
Not what we have “always heard.”
Scripture must interpret Scripture. As it is written:
“Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” — Proverbs 27:17
The goal of this study is not argument for argument’s sake, but clarity. If Script...  more

🔥 Jesus Christ has invested Himself in your life.
It was commissioned back in,
Mark 16.
He said go into all the world and make disciples of all nations.
Preach the word of God,
He will work with us,
Confirming it with signs and wonders following.
It’s a time of going,
It’s a time of getting busy.
But many Christians have been tripped up.
God almighty has entrusted a deposit,
A sacred trust in your life,
He has literally invested some of who He is,
In you.
Let me ask you a question,...  more
The Great Pyramid of Giza, Isaiah 19, and a Question of Function:
It’s a long story how I was led into Isaiah 19 and the pyramids at Giza, so instead of walking through every step, I’ll focus on the central takeaway from years of study and observation. You can decide what you think.
I believe the Great Pyramid of Giza corresponds directly to the altar described in Isaiah.
What Scripture does not explain is its function.
Isaiah 19:19–20
“In that day there shall be an altar to the LORD in the...  more

Hebrews 13:8
THE FOUNDATION – God’s Word
(Bottom of the image)
The open Bible represents God’s revealed Word as the source of all truth.
All history, salvation, and hope flow from Scripture.
Jesus affirmed this foundation:
“The Scripture cannot be broken.” (John 10:35)
Key truth:
➡️ Christianity is not built on feelings, tradition, or philosophy—but on God’s written revelation.

Sir John, thank you for this post. I am a visual person and these images are incredible.
It truly is remarkable how the Bible contains the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and fulfillment of saving us from damnation. What an amazing loving God! From yesterday, to today, and tomorrow, Genesis through Revelation. That is what I see in these images. Greg Norton
“Fixing our eyes on Jesus…” (Hebrews 12:2)
Believers are called to fix their eyes on Jesus alone as the object of faith and salvation
(cf. Hebrews 11:26–27; Acts 7:55–56; Philippians 3:8).
Jesus is the Author of our faith—its originator and supreme example (Hebrews 2:10).
He is also the Perfecter, carrying faith through to its full and finished completion (John 19:30).
For the joy set before Him, Christ endured the cross—accomplishing the Father’s will and entering into exaltation
(cf. Heb...  more
🛡️ PRAYER IS NOT WEAK — IT’S WARFARE.
Just like a shield blocks arrows on the battlefield, prayer protects our hearts and minds when the enemy attacks with fear, doubt, temptation, and discouragement.
In Ephesians 6, Paul reminds us that we are in a spiritual battle — and God has given us spiritual armor. One of the most powerful pieces is the Shield of Faith, which “quenches all the flaming arrows of the evil one” (Eph. 6:16).
The picture shows it clearly:
