Greg Laurie: “The Bible does not tell us to be looking for the Antichrist” Jesus: “Watch out that no one misleads you….when you see the abomination of desolation [a.k.a. the Antichrist]–spoken about by Daniel the prophet—standing in the holy place…” (Matt 24:4, 15) Paul “Let no one deceive you in any way.

Honestly, sometimes I feel I am the only one who is grieved by the sensationalism and misinformation out there on Bible prophecy
People seem to be freaking out about the near future. I don’t know why as a Christian.

Prewrath conferences list the actual titles of the talks on the flyer, so you know what you will actually learn before you arrive. 2. Pretrib Bible prophecy conferences generally do not focus on specific Bible passages. […]

Marquis Laughlin asks this question in a facebook post: Hey, can anyone give me a biblical answer to the identity of the 24 elders?
