Our Book Is Now On Kindle

Cover via Amazon

We are happy to announce that our new book, Connecting the Dots: A Handbook of Bible Prophecy, is now available as a digital/electronic book (eBook). It is already available on Amazon.com for their Kindle reader. And it is scheduled to be released soon by other eBook suppliers like Barnes and Noble for its Nook reader and Apple iBooks for the iPad.

I have been doing most of my reading on the Kindle recently because I can literally have a whole library of books in one convenient device that also lets me pick the size of the font.

Prophecy students will still want to have the printed book because Connecting the Dots is a reference manual – a notebook of sorts that you can underline and make personal notes in the margins.

However, the Kindle version is better in some ways. You can set bookmarks to favorite places. It remembers where you stopped reading and lets you continue quickly. It is lightweight, and as mentioned before, you may choose the font size that suits you best. It allows you to do a word search through the entire book. And, if you want, you can even have the Kindle read it to you with their text to speech feature that has been enabled for this book!

A great deal of extra work went into this version to enable hundreds of hyperlinks. Each chapter and subtopic in our 12-page Table of Contents is linked. Just click on the topic and the reader takes you to the section you want to read. Amazingly, the extensive index is also linked. When you find an entry in the index, you can click on the “page” number and the reader will find the proper section in the book, even though page numbers are not used in eBooks.

Lambert Dolphin and I are blessed to be able to share our passion for Bible prophecy through our book, and it is our prayer that it can be a tool to equip a new generation of Bible students and help stimulate an End-Times revival!

More information about the book is available at Connecting the Dots.

The Kindle version can be downloaded in one minute from Amazon.com

Evangelism and Prophecy

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

This week a young man that I admire wrote to me, saying that he had read my book, “Connecting the Dots: A Handbook of Bible Prophecy.” He said he enjoyed it, but wanted more information on how evangelism and prophecy fit together. He said, that he had always heard that Jesus will not come back until every tribe, tongue, and nation have had a chance to hear the Gospel at least once. He added that the book gave the impression that the 144,000 Jewish evangelists will complete the evangelization of the world.

I think that this young man identified a most-important aspect of the teaching of prophecy that needs to be explained again to our generation. There is a very close connection between prophecy and evangelism.

Here are some of the thoughts that occur to me now on the subject. The Lord willing, I will continue to think about it and write on the topic

Before the Rapture

Prophecy is one of the best ways to win people to Christ. Fulfilled prophecy proves that the Bible is true and Jesus is different from all other spiritual leaders (Isaiah 46).

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fear is respect, but there is also the threat of judgment for our sins. Properly presented, information about future trials and judgments can be instrumental in bringing conviction of sin.

The Lord Jesus ascended into Heaven from the Mt. of Olives right after giving the Great Commission once more to His disciples. The angels related His teaching and ascension to prophecy, saying that He will return again to the same place in the future (Acts 1:1-11; Zechariah 14:4).

Jonathan Edwards’ message, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” started the Great Awakening.

Billy Graham usually included a prophecy message in each crusade.

Hal Lindsey’s book, “The Late Great Planet Earth” was instrumental in winning great numbers of people to Christ.

Calvary Chapel and the Jesus People Movement were steeped in prophecy. “Maranatha,” Signs inside cars, “Warning, Driver going up in the Rapture,” etc.

Salem Kirban’s book, Guide to Survival” was an extremely effective tool for witnessing.

Greg Laurie often speaks on the subject of prophecy at his crusades.

The “Left Behind” series was used by the Lord to win multitudes to Jesus.

In 2 Peter 3:11-12, Peter did say that we can speed the Lord’s return. This must mean that by winning other people to Christ we shorten the wait for His return.

During the Tribulation

Untold numbers of people will accept Christ immediately after the Rapture of the Church.

During the Tribulation it is likely that all true Christians will be “witnesses” for Christ and many will be “martyrs” (same Greek word, martureo).

The two prophets and 144,000 witnesses will undoubtedly preach the Gospel, being protected by God’s power (Revelation 11; Revelation 7; Revelation 14).

By wise use of technology, underground Christians will probably still be able to share the Gospel far and wide.

During the Tribulation there will be a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Revelation 7:9-10).

The “Mark of the Beast” (Revelation 13) will force people to finally make up their mind, resulting in many brave conversions in spite of the consequences.

Finally the lord will use angels flying in the heavens to finish evangelizing the people during the tribulation (Revelation 14). They will proclaim the eternal gospel to all people and warn them of judgment.

This will fulfill the promise that the lord will not return until the whole world has heard, but this should not be an impediment to missionaries’ zeal.

It is likely that there will be a great End Times revival. God warned people before various judgments, and some cultures were revived (like Nineveh) while others were not (Noah’s generation).

In summary, evangelism and prophecy go together perfectly!

Prophecy Conference in January

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

Solid Ground Church and KKLA will be co-presenters of a major prophecy conference at the Ontario Convention Center on January 14 and 15, 2011. The theme is “Understanding the End Times: Israel, Islam and Biblical Prophecy.”

Frank Pastore, America’s most popular Christian talk show host will broadcast his program live from the conference on Friday night from 4 to 7 p.m. It is a free event, but love offerings will be received to cover the cost of such an event. Pre-registration is necessary because, even though we will have a huge meeting space, seating is limited.

The outstanding speaker lineup includes Tim LaHaye, Chuck Missler, David Hocking, Bill Koenig, Gary Kah, Ron Carlson, Jack Hibbs, and Lambert Dolphin. I will also have the privilege of speaking, not because I belong in such company, but because I am host pastor.

We have a web page devoted to the conference at http://www.Bible-prophecy.com/conference. A beautiful poster may be downloaded and printed in any size you want. Pictures and information about the speakers is included, along with suggestions for hotels in the area that will give a “prophecy conference discount.”

The Friday night program will conclude with a powerful evangelistic message by Jack Hibbs, so be sure to bring your friends who need to hear the Gospel!

If you would like to attend, please block out Friday evening and all day Saturday and don’t forget to pre-register! There is a special toll-free phone number for this purpose, and KKLA will also have online registration during the month before the event. The number is 888-974-4242.

Explosion of Knowledge

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”
Daniel 12:4 (NIV)

When Daniel wrote these words he may have had a vision of someone like me using his Droid to compose a blog.

This phone has more power than my laptop computer. It has dual processors and 19 gigabytes of onboard memory. I was able to copy and paste the verse from the searchable Bible in the phone’s memory. This paragraph was translated from my spoken voice.

Next I will post this blog on the Internet directly from the phone.

Daniel would have been amazed at such increased knowledge and such going here and there on the Internet!
