Author and speaker Dr. Alex McFarland is on a mission to answer pressing questions about prophecy and the end times, launching a new book that tackles these essential theological topics.<\/p>\n
McFarland, whose book is titled \u201c100 Bible Questions and Answers on Prophecy and the End Times,\u201d has long hosted a radio show and, over time, made a record of the many eschatological questions he would receive.<\/p>\n
Listen to the latest\u00a0episode\u00a0of \u201cQuick Start\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cOver the last several years, just more and more and more, people have been asking questions that do relate to the end times,\u201d he said. \u201cSo we put a book together, \u2018100 Bible Questions and Answers,\u2019 and we deal with just what I feel like are the questions and concerns on the hearts of radio listeners throughout America \u2014 and really throughout the Western world.\u201d<\/p>\n In fact, McFarland said he \u201cpretty regularly\u201d sees prophecy as a tool that helps lead people toward the Christian faith, citing the power of the Internet to connect people on the issue across the globe.<\/p>\n \u201cA couple of weeks ago, I got an email from a man in Romania, a German man in Romania, who listens to the live stream,\u201d he said. \u201cHe felt like he needed to \u2026 find God. So he, for a year \u2026 told me that he had been going to a mosque and was getting closer and closer to becoming a full Muslim.\u201d<\/p>\n McFarland said the man called him and they spoke, and he inevitably was able to \u201clead him to Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe did not have peace about Islam, but that was kind of all he had access to,\u201d he said. \u201cBut he felt like all of the unrest in the Middle East, that the world is getting to some, you know, point \u2014 everything seems to be coalescing, and it indeed \u2026 is.\u201d<\/p>\n With so much attention focused on Islam, the Middle East, and other related arenas, it should come as no surprise that these issues spark questions \u2014 and reactions.<\/p>\n \u201cI do think Christians have really an opportunity to tell people who are searching spiritually, \u2018Look, God\u2019s Word has a 100% track record of accuracy,’\u201d he said. \u201cAnd Galatians 4:4 says that, \u2018In the fullness of time, God sent forth his son, born of a woman, to redeem those that were under the law. Just as Christ miraculously came right on schedule the first time, He\u2019s going to come again a second time. And we very likely may be near that, and people are thinking about it \u2014 they really are.\u201d<\/p>\n As for where the world is on the prophetic timeline, date setting is unbiblical, though McFarland said there are \u201csigns of the times\u201d that are taught in Scripture.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Bible teaches that, at the end of time, or just before the return of Christ, the nations of the Arabian Peninsula will align themselves against Israel,\u201d he said. \u201cI also believe that Russia and China will collude not only to attack Israel, but to really try to dominate the world.\u201d<\/p>\n This is accompanied by other biblical signs \u2014 some of which prophecy experts, like McFarland, believe could be coming to fruition.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the super sign that we are near the last days \u2026 is 77 years ago, the rebirth of the nation of Israel,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can\u2019t set the date, but we are to have our spiritual house in order, and that\u2019s what we can do by coming to Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n Find out more about \u201c100 Bible Questions and Answers on Prophecy and the End Times.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Author and speaker Dr. Alex McFarland is on a mission to answer pressing questions about prophecy and the end times, launching a new book that tackles these essential theological topics.
