Today in “Prophecy Perspectives,” I explore the birthday of the Church on the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2, marking the dramatic beginning of the Church Age that will continue until the Rapture. When the Holy Spirit came with rushing wind (power), tongues of fire (purification), and supernatural languages (proclamation), 120 believers were baptized into one body—the Church. This occurred exactly 50 days after Firstfruits, fulfilling the prophetic pattern of Israel’s feasts. The two wave loaves offered at Pentecost beautifully symbolized Jews and Gentiles being brought together into one body, baked with leaven because the Church consists of sinful saints being transformed. Peter’s sermon quoted Joel 2, emphasizing that “whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Warren Wiersbe noted that the early church succeeded without buildings, money, or political influence because they had the Holy Spirit’s power. Just as the Church Age began dramatically on Pentecost, it will end dramatically at the Rapture when the Spirit’s restraining influence leaves with the Church.

The Persian Storm: Bible Prophecy and Iran’s Last Threat to Israel

In 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 Jesus

As 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.
