This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit endtimes.substack.comMy good friend and longtime ministry partner Dr. Mark Hitchcock is finishing a brand-new commentary on the book of Revelation. I wanted to bring him on today because there is no one I trust more to walk us through this incredible book. Mark has taught Revelation at Dallas Theological Seminary, he took over the legendary Daniel and Revelation class from Dr. Dwight Pentecost, and he has studied this material for decades. Today we are talking about why every believer should read the book of Revelation, the five major views of how to interpret it, why futurism is the only view that holds up under scrutiny, how to understand the symbols, and whether the numbers and time periods in the book are literal. If Revelation has ever intimidated you or felt out of reach, this conversation is going to change that. God promises a blessing to everyone who reads, hears, and heeds this book. That is a promise worth taking seriously. The Revelation Answer Book: 125 Common Questions People Ask About Earth’s Final DaysWho are the 144,000 in Revelation 7:1-8? Are the trumpet judgments literal or symbolic (Revelation 8:11)? What is the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:18)?If you have questions about the book of Revelation, you probably don’t want to wade through pages of commentary to find answers. Prophecy expert Mark Hitchcock offers a helpful solution in this concise Q&A resource.Questions are grouped in broad categories that focus on interpretation, background information, Jesus Christ, the chronology of the last days, and more. Along the way, you’ll learn helpful details about the key figures and events of the end times, giving you a clear picture of how the future will unfold.These easy-to-find and easy-to-understand responses to the most commonly asked questions about the book of Revelation will empower you to mine its riches and will enrich your understanding of Bible prophecy and its relevance to your life today.End Times UnlockedTipping Point has just launched a brand new YouTube channel called End Times Unlocked. These are short, graphics-driven videos designed to teach Bible prophecy in a way that grabs attention and holds it. We’re planning to release a new video about twice a month, and my prayer is that the Lord uses every one of them to wake people up to the days we’re living in.Haman’s Lies: Exposing the Ancient Roots of Antisemitism and Why the Spirit of Esther Must AriseThe lies come first. The violence always follows.Since October 7, 2023—the deadliest day for Jewish people since the Holocaust—the world has witnessed something alarming: the victims have been turned into villains. Mobs chant for Israel’s elimination. University professors justify terrorism. Social media floods with accusations that previous generations would have instantly recognized as antisemitic propaganda—yet today they’re repackaged as “justice.” And many people of good will don’t know what to think.This isn’t random. It’s a pattern as old as the the book of Esther.This book will help you:* Recognize Haman’s ancient propaganda template—Different, Disloyal, Dangerous, Disposable—and see how it’s being repeated today* Answer the twenty-five most common lies being told about Israel with historical truth and biblical clarity* Discern the spirit behind the rising tide of hatred and global antisemitism* Rise up like Esther to stand with God’s covenant people—for such a time as thisDon’t be deceived. Don’t be silent. Read this book and rise up.A Shelter for the Children of the GalileeThe Regba Clinic in Western Galilee has served vulnerable children for 51 years — and right now, kids who are healing from war trauma are doing so without a shelter. When rocket sirens sound, they scatter into hallways and parking lots, re-living the very terror they’re trying to recover from. A certified safe room — blast-proof door, reinforced concrete, sealed ventilation — would change everything. Your gift to Tipping Point Ministries makes that possible. When your arms can’t reach, your dollars can.With a gift of any amount to Tipping Point Ministries — $25, $100, $1,000, $10,000, or more — you’ll help us continue sharing Bible prophecy and fund this shelter for the children of the Galilee.Study the Word for YourselfEvery week on Tipping Point, you and I are looking at Bible prophecy, the signs of the times, and what God is doing in the world right now.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit endtimes.substack.comThis week’s report is a re-run from two years ago. For me at least, it is always the latest news. Here’s why. At its deepest root, the reason I am a Zionist is not because I am Jewish. I’m not. And while the Biblical basis for loving and standing with Yeshua’s human family is both clear and compelling, that’s not what won my heart. Something else did. Or, more accurately, someone else.The Jewish people first captured my imagination when I was twelve. My dad, a pastor, befriended a Holocaust survivor named Manny Offman. Listening to him, a man who had walked out of Auschwitz, lit something in me that never fully went out. The liberation of Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War only deepened it. Then we moved, and that fascination faded. For almost thirty years.In 1998, just before he turned ten, my impish, blond-haired, blue-eyed, smart and witty son went to get an x-ray. He was limping. I thought it was growing pains. It wasn’t. A huge, bony tumor was hiding in his pelvic dish. The cancer, osteosarcoma, was vicious. The only hope for its removal was amputation of Taylor’s left leg and his hip’s left hemisphere. In the two-year battle that followed, there were times he suffered. Horribly. But when there was no pain, he climbed trees, played four-square on one leg, rode horses, flew down the mountain on an alpine slide, rode his bike, went Trick or Treating as a one-legged pirate, and gleefully pranked his friends, their parents, his school teachers, doctors and nurses. No one was spared; everyone adored him. From the first day of diagnosis, he made a choice. He chose to focus on life, to celebrate life and love, until the day, twenty-eight years ago, just as the rising sun broke through the barrier of night, and with a mischievous smile on his face, he breathed his last and made the transition from life……to life.His spirit changed my life. It was his gift of visceral love, his determination to live, fully live, that both rocked my faith and, in the cracks of sorrow, poured the binding agent of wonder at the Father’s sacrifice of His Son and His visceral love for life. For the life of His uniquely chosen human family, and for all of us grafted into it by faith. Somehow, that re-awakened the dormant seed planted in my early adolescence. What I came to see in the Jewish people, and in Israel, was something I knew and loved with all my heart. I saw the spirit of my son. And His. That’s why I’m a Zionist. For life.If the story of Taylor’s spirit wins your heart, what you will see, if you are willing, is not only Taylor’s heart, but also the spirit of Israel, of Jewish people, both here and everywhere they live.A Shelter for the Children of the GalileeThe Regba Clinic in Western Galilee has served vulnerable children for 51 years — and right now, kids who are healing from war trauma are doing so without a shelter.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit endtimes.substack.comIn this episode, I explore the New Covenant found in Jeremiah 31:31–34, which amplifies the “blessing” or “salvation” aspect of the Abrahamic Covenant. This unconditional, eternal covenant represents God’s promise to write His law on hearts rather than stone tablets, providing internal transformation instead of external obligation. I explain how this covenant was inaugurated through Jesus’ blood at the Last Supper, making Him the only One who could replace the Old Covenant since only God Himself could abolish what God had established. While the church enjoys the benefits of this covenant today through faith in Christ—including regeneration, forgiveness, the indwelling Holy Spirit, and His teaching ministry—the ultimate fulfillment remains future for Israel. When Jesus returns, Romans 11:25–26 promises “all Israel will be saved,” and they will experience the full blessings of having God’s law written on their hearts. This covenant demonstrates God’s faithfulness—He keeps every promise, never abandoning Israel or believers today.Support Tipping Point MinistriesTo help us produce more content like this please consider supporting Tipping Point!

With a Scripture-first approach—without hype or sensationalism—Hitchcock helps you explore the prophecies involving Persia (modern-day Iran) and its long, defiant posture toward Israel, giving you a grounded way to understand what matters and why. You’ll learn how to:* Understand key Bible prophecies with greater clarity and confidence, and the role of the United States and Israel* Evaluate current events through a steady biblical lens (without chasing headlines)* Live with greater peace and readiness instead of fear and confusion* Stay spiritually alert as you anticipate the return of JesusAs you explore the biblical books of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, where the Bible records many predictions about the region known as Mesopotamia or Persia, you’ll dig deeper into ancient prophecies that will shed light on important questions for the present day, like:* Do these interpretations still hold true today?* What about a possible invasion of Israel?* Does Iran still plan to wipe Israel off the map?* And what about the role of the United States in Bible prophecy?The Persian Storm is a sober, hope-filled guide to help you discern prophetic truth and face the future with confidence—because prophecy is meant to prepare you, not scare you.Personal Reflection & Group DiscussionFor our paid subscribers, we’ll provide a set of personal reflection and group discussion questions.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit endtimes.substack.comThis week, I am starting a series called “Why Do We Pray?” In it, I provide two insightful reasons for why we pray. I hope this series encourages you and reminds you of the importance of prayer.“Because prayer is a wonderful blessing. And it’s exciting. And it’s one of the greatest blessings in life when you understand what it is to pray.” —Jimmy EvansCalling the Name of JesusBy Kari Smalley Gibson, TP Community StorytellerSometimes the most powerful testimonies don’t happen on a stage. They happen quietly… in homes filled with pain, fear, and desperate prayers whispered to Jesus.Recently, Esther, a long time subscriber from our Tipping Point community found herself facing a painful and frightening week. Her husband was away on a trip. Her daughter, who lives nearby, had come down with shingles and couldn’t help. And Esther herself was suddenly battling severe back pain on top of issues with scoliosis. The pain became so intense she could barely move without stabbing pain shooting through her body. Even getting upstairs to her bedroom felt overwhelming.Honestly, she was scared.But right there in the middle of her pain and fear, Esther did something beautiful. She wrote, “After a couple mini movements I called on Jesus loudly.”Not polished.Not perfect.Just real faith reaching for a faithful Savior.Esther began praying, repeating Scripture aloud, reminding herself that God was with her even though she felt alone. She held tightly to the truth that He is still the God who heals.And over the next couple days… relief began to come. Slowly, but very sure.Friends, many of us need this reminder today: healing doesn’t always arrive with flashing lights and instant answers. Sometimes it comes one small movement at a time. One prayer at a time. One moment of trusting God again at a time.But through it all, Esther never stopped praising Him.Jeremiah 17:14 (NLT) says, “O Lord, if you heal me, I will be truly healed; if you save me, I will be truly saved. My praises are for you alone!”At the end of her testimony, Esther wrote these simple but powerful words: “May I encourage you to call on His name, and trust in His promises.”What a beautiful reminder for all of us.If God has done something in your life, we would love the opportunity to celebrate your testimony and highlight stories within our TP community that will encourage and uplift others. You can email us anytime at testimonies@endtimes.com. And if you need prayer, our prayer team would be honored to pray for you at prayer@endtimes.com.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit endtimes.substack.comWe are living in a moment that feels like history is coming full circle. This week I want to talk about Elon Musk and his Neuralink brain chip technology, which he is now calling "Jesus level" and comparing to the miracles of Christ. Over 20 people already have this chip implanted in their brains, and Musk's plan is to put it in millions more. At the same time, researchers out in Silicon Valley are working on something called digital consciousness transfer, offering people the promise of immortality apart from God. I believe what we are watching is a direct echo of Genesis 3 and the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11. Humanity is once again uniting under pride and ambition, reaching toward Heaven on its own terms. But we are not to be afraid. We are to be prepared. And as I show you what the Word of God says about the New Jerusalem and our eternal home, I want you to see that the true hope has never been in technology. It has always been in Christ.The Persian Storm: Bible Prophecy and Iran’s Last Threat to IsraelIn The Persian Storm, biblical prophecy expert Dr. Mark Hitchcock shows you exactly why Iran will continue to be dangerous, tracing the striking link between today’s volatility and ancient Scripture.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit endtimes.substack.comI have been studying Bible prophecy for over 50 years, and one question keeps coming up: Where is America in Bible prophecy? The honest answer is that we are not there, or at least we are not a major player. And I want to tell you exactly why I believe that is. It comes down to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 and the removal of the restrainer. Right now, the Holy Spirit working through the church is holding back the full force of sin, lawlessness, and the Antichrist. You can see it in the fight against abortion, in states pushing back against the destruction of children through gender ideology, and in America's historic defense of Israel. But when the Rapture happens, the church is gone, the restrainer is gone, and in an instant everything changes. America as we know it ends. I love this country deeply, but my greater loyalty is to the Kingdom of God. And that kingdom is what lasts forever.End Times UnlockedTipping Point has just launched a brand new YouTube channel called End Times Unlocked.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit endtimes.substack.comThese days accusations against Israel are exploding all around us like cluster bombs from an Iranian missile. When those warheads fall, the immediate reaction is to protect ourselves and those we love. Unfortunately, people are wounded. Some die spiritually. So how do we protect ourselves from deception? How do we take an even stronger stand with God’s uniquely chosen human family? I sit down with Reverend Peter Fast, International President and CEO of Bridges for Peace, headquartered right here in Jerusalem with branches in eight nations. For fifty years, Bridges has been building relationships with the Jewish people—feeding 24,000 needy people monthly, repairing nearly 2,000 homes, helping 120,000 Jews make aliyah. Peter addresses the flotilla theatrics, the Ben Gvir controversy, and the upcoming gay pride event at the Dead Sea. Standing with Israel doesn’t mean standing with everything in Israel. Israel, like all nations, needs cleansing—and God promises to sprinkle them clean. But the forces arrayed against Israel are ultimately arrayed against God Himself. Biblical illiteracy is rampant. If you’re unaware of what God is doing, you will be deceived easier. The church needs a healthy return to the Bible, read through a Hebraic lens. Go to Israel. Connect with the Jewish community. Understand their heart. And pray—it’s not an option.A Shelter for the Children of the GalileeThe Regba Clinic in Western Galilee has served vulnerable children for 51 years — and right now, kids who are healing from war trauma are doing so without a shelter.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit endtimes.substack.comIn this episode, I examine one of the most controversial yet foundational passages in the New Testament—Jesus’ promise to build His church in Matthew 16:18. Speaking at Caesarea Philippi, near a massive rock formation where pagans worshipped the god Pan and believed they had access to the underworld, Jesus makes His profound declaration after Peter’s confession that He is “the Christ, the Son of the living God.” I explore the context of this “Rock of the gods” where Jesus speaks of building His church on “this rock,” analyzing whether He refers to Peter, Peter’s confession, or Himself. I clarify that the Greek distinguishes between Petros (small stone) and Petra (massive rock ledge), suggesting Jesus points to either Himself or Peter’s confession as the foundation. Most encouragingly, I explain how “the gates of hell shall not prevail” means even death cannot defeat Christ’s church, offering tremendous hope for believers as Jesus actively builds His ekklesia today.Support Tipping Point MinistriesTo help us produce more content like this please consider supporting Tipping Point!

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit endtimes.substack.comThis week, I share how to trust God with tomorrow by breaking free from anxiety and worry. I walk through three practical steps — seeking God today, trusting Him as your loving Heavenly Father, and planning without stress — so you can experience peace and joy in your daily life.The key to enjoying today is trusting our Heavenly Father with tomorrow. —Jimmy EvansLook Up, Even When It’s HardBy Kari Smalley Gibson, TP Community StorytellerBack in 2019, I didn’t even know what the word eschatology meant. Anyone else feel like that? Then I found Tipping Point.The teaching on Bible prophecy completely changed the way I read Scripture, view the world, and understand the times we’re living in. What once felt confusing (and a little scary) suddenly became filled with clarity, urgency, and hope.One of my favorite reminders Pastor Jimmy Evans often shares—and the title of one of his books—is this simple phrase: “Look up.”At first, I didn’t fully understand what that meant. But over the years, those two words have become an anchor for my heart.Luke 21:28 (NLT) says, “So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!”Jesus spoke those words while describing difficult end-time events. He wasn’t telling believers to panic. He was reminding us to lift our eyes with confidence and expectation because our redemption is drawing near.But what does “looking up” actually look like when life hurts?Recently, our prayer team received a message from a woman asking us to pray for her husband. Their marriage was struggling, but even deeper than that, she was carrying a burden for his salvation. You could feel both the heartbreak and hope in her words. She wasn’t asking us to pray for an easy life—she was asking us to pray for eternity to touch her home.And even through the pain, she said something powerful: “I’m not giving up.” She’s still praying.Still believing.Still trusting.Still looking up.Not long after that, another woman reached out asking us to pray for her sister who was battling terminal cancer. Doctors had told the family there were only days left, but they were still believing God for a miracle.The following day, we received another message. Her sister had gone home to be with Jesus. Even through deep grief, the family shared their gratitude that she was no longer suffering and asked us to continue praying for her husband and young daughter.As a prayer team, moments like that stay with you.Because sometimes this side of heaven doesn’t unfold the way we desperately hoped it would. Sometimes healing comes here. And sometimes healing comes fully and forever in the presence of Jesus.But even then—we look up.We look up by praying for grieving families.We look up by carrying one another’s burdens.We look up by reminding each other that this world is not our home.That’s the heartbeat of this community.Not pretending life is easy.Not ignoring pain.But choosing hope anyway because Jesus is coming soon. And until that day, we will keep praying, trusting, encouraging, watching, and lifting our eyes together.Please share your prayer requests with our prayer team at prayer@endtimes.com and we would love the opportunity to celebrate your miracle testimonies and highlight stories within ourTP community to encourage and uplift others at testimonies@endtimes.com.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit endtimes.substack.comSomething stunning and sobering is coming to the Dead Sea this June, and I believe every Christian needs to understand what it means prophetically. Israel is hosting the largest LGBT pride festival in Middle East history, right at the lowest place on earth, just miles from ancient Sodom and Gomorrah. I want to walk you through several layers of moral and prophetic significance here, including why Tucker Carlson’s recent criticism of evangelical support for Israel actually misses what Scripture tells us to expect from a nation in spiritual unbelief. Israel today is regathered physically but not yet spiritually restored, exactly what Ezekiel 37 and Romans 11 predict. God’s covenants with Israel are not cancelled by Israel’s sins. We can call out sin clearly and still stand firm in our support for Israel’s God-given future. I also answer three listener questions on Daniel’s 70 weeks, Babylon’s fall in Revelation 18, and the identity of the woman in Revelation 12.The Persian Storm: Bible Prophecy and Iran’s Last Threat to IsraelIn The Persian Storm, biblical prophecy expert Dr. Mark Hitchcock shows you exactly why Iran will continue to be dangerous, tracing the striking link between today’s volatility and ancient Scripture. With a Scripture-first approach—without hype or sensationalism—Hitchcock helps you explore the prophecies involving Persia (modern-day Iran) and its long, defiant posture toward Israel, giving you a grounded way to understand what matters and why. You’ll learn how to:* Understand key Bible prophecies with greater clarity and confidence, and the role of the United States and Israel* Evaluate current events through a steady biblical lens (without chasing headlines)* Live with greater peace and readiness instead of fear and confusion* Stay spiritually alert as you anticipate the return of JesusAs you explore the biblical books of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, where the Bible records many predictions about the region known as Mesopotamia or Persia, you’ll dig deeper into ancient prophecies that will shed light on important questions for the present day, like:* Do these interpretations still hold true today?* What about a possible invasion of Israel?* Does Iran still plan to wipe Israel off the map?* And what about the role of the United States in Bible prophecy?The Persian Storm is a sober, hope-filled guide to help you discern prophetic truth and face the future with confidence—because prophecy is meant to prepare you, not scare you.A Shelter for the Children of the GalileeThe Regba Clinic in Western Galilee has served vulnerable children for 51 years — and right now, kids who are healing from war trauma are doing so without a shelter. When rocket sirens sound, they scatter into hallways and parking lots, re-living the very terror they’re trying to recover from. A certified safe room — blast-proof door, reinforced concrete, sealed ventilation — would change everything. Your gift to Tipping Point Ministries makes that possible. When your arms can’t reach, your dollars can.With a gift of any amount to Tipping Point Ministries — $25, $100, $1,000, $10,000, or more — you’ll help us continue sharing Bible prophecy and fund this shelter for the children of the Galilee.Support Tipping Point MinistriesTo help us produce more content like this please consider supporting Tipping Point!
