Why did Christ Die for those Predestined to Hell?

Question & Comments to Bill: Dear Bill - Do we both agree that all of God's judgment and wrath fell upon Jesus at the Cross for all mankind? If God foreknew and predestinate whom would be conformed to the image of the Son, then why did God include all the non-believer's wrath and judgment upon Jesus if God predestinated their calling into hell? Wouldn't God's wrath and judgment pour out on all non-believer's that His Son had to endure be executed in Hell?

I have been praying to God about this for the last few days and was led to present the question to you. Why not just place upon Christ the wrath of those souls that would not be ashamed and end up before Christ at His judgment Seat. Why include all of mankind when many are called, but few are chosen?

God knows who is going to Hell. Why was Jesus subjected to those who will spend eternity in Hell's wrath of God? Why not only those that are chosen to be sons of God?

The Ezekiel 35-39 Mideast War Prophecies

Ezekiel warned in the end time’s Israel would come out of the Holocaust and face two apocalyptic wars. 2600 years later we realize these are epic battles fought against approximately 19 primarily Muslim dominated populations including Syrians, Hezbollah, Russians, Iranians, and Turks just to list a few. Many eschatologists believe these wars will be fought soon and sequentially.

This week on Prophecy Update Radio Bill Salus and the founder of Lion of Judah Ministry, Gary Fisher, take an in-depth look at Ezekiel 35-39. This interview picks up where Bill and Gary’s previous interview called “Ezekiel’s Birds Gather for the Gog of Magog Meal,” left off. The previous interview is one of the most listened to programs in the Prophecy Update Radio archives. This fascinating four-part interview is guaranteed to be one of the most important and relevant studies Christians can listen to in these last days.

Jordan to Soon Sever ties with Israel!

By Bill Salus

With Arab protests sweeping throughout the Middle East, many pundits are pondering the fate of Jordan. Will the Jordanian government collapse alongside Tunisia’s, Yemen's, and Egypt’s? Interestingly, Jordan can be found in end time’s bible prophecy. If the prophecies centered on Jordan are about to find fulfillment, then the best days of the Hashemite Kingdom are behind it.

Arguments Against a Muslim Antichrist

By Bill Salus

Troublesome times, filled with stage setting prophetic signs, have many concerned they live in the last generation. As such, many eschatologists field questions about the Antichrist whose reign of terror dominates the final generation.

Topping the list is the curiosity over his origin. Will he be a Jew, Gentile, Muslim, or perhaps a Supernatural being like the Nepilim in the ancient Days of Noah? (Read article now.)

Are You a Blessing or Mistake?

If the theory of Evolution is correct then mankind lacks purpose. Yet the Bible teaches otherwise.

Will Arab Protests Hasten Psalm 83 & Ezekiel 38?

By Bill Salus

Following closely behind the 2010 pullout of American boots on the ground in Iraq, the first quarter of 2011 experienced an unprecedented period of Arab Protests. Even today’s top eschatologists are asking who opened up Pandora’s Box in the Middle East. Like California wildfires, these Arab protests have spread out of control across the region.

Chronologically ordering the protests, which have often morphed into revolts, helps achieve a greater understanding of where Mideast events could be heading. Read article now

Are Demonic or Democratic Forces at Work in the Middle East?

By Bill Salus

Is this recent wave of Palestinian terrorism and Hamas rocket assaults purposely intended to provoke Israel into another war with Hamas? In December, 2008 Israel waged a 22-day campaign into the Gaza against Hamas. At the time Hamas and their Arab allies were unprepared to ally together in the fight which afforded Israel a lopsided victory. However, since December, 2009 Hamas has entered into bonafide war-pacts with Iran, Hezbollah, and Syria.

Could Hamas have been given the green light by its allies to provoke Israel into another conflict, one that they are all prepared to fight at this time? Hezbollah has 60,000 rockets. Syria possesses the most advanced scud missiles in the world, and Iran is on the verge of going nuclear. (Read entire article now)

Israel - Caught in the Crosshairs of Christian Palestinianism

Christianity finds itself at a critical crossroad regarding the modern day Jewish State. The Arab unrest plaguing the Middle East is causing Christians to decide whether Israel is the “owner” or “occupier” of the Promised Land.
(Pictured (left) Bill Salus & (right) Dr. Paul Wilkinson)

Does Israel exist in fulfillment of Bible Prophecy, or is it simply the result of U.N. moral obligation? Christian Zionists believe Israel has a God given right to exist in the land allotted to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates.” (Genesis 15:18, nkjv)

This passage defines the vast boundaries of the Promised Land ranging from northeastern portions of Egypt to parts of Syria and Iraq. Presently, Israel is struggling to maintain possession of about one-tenth of this landmass. The international community and many Christians want Israel to give much of it back for a Palestinian State.

This week on Prophecy Update Radio the competing ideologies within Christianity of Christian Zionism and Christian Palestinianism are adeptly analyzed and adequately compared. Host, Bill Salus, welcomes his guest, Dr. Paul Wilkinson, to address this timely topic. Dr. Wilkinson, an expert on Christian Palestinianism, warns the Church is being overtaken by “Replacement Theologians promoting a Pro-Palestinian agenda.”

In this fascinating two part broadcast Bill and Paul draw a line in the Mideast sand and challenge Christians to decide on which side they stand. Is God done with the Jew, or are prophesied Mideast events about to reveal the folly of Replacement Theology?

Japan - The Apple of God's Eye, or Thorn in His Side?

By Bill Salus

“Japan’s Prime Minister says country facing worst crisis since World War II”

It has been warned, “It’s not good to kick a man when he’s down,” but when it comes to the Jews, the Japanese just keep on kicking. Jewish blood has stained Japanese hands since World War II when they participated with Germany as part of the “Axis Alliance.” This terrible miscalculation achieved for them the atomic accolade of being the first world nation ever nuked!

The Future for America in Bible Prophecy

In light of these uncertain times many Christian Americans are asking, “What is the future for America in Bible prophecy?” This
question arises primarily because;

1. Of mounting concern the country has abandoned its Christian heritage and is headed in the wrong direction,

2. America is not conspicuously located anywhere upon the pages of the Bible,

3. And out of concern that these are the last days.

Interestingly, respected Christian voices like, Dr. David Reagan, Dr. Mark Hitchcock, Terry James, and more, have felt burdened to write books on the subject. Not surprisingly, the Lord has led them all to a similar conclusion. The combined concensus is that America does not appear to be located in the Bible, or if it is, it doesn't maintain its superpower status on through to the end.

They suggest America’s silence in the Bible is deafening and implies that the United States could come under divine judgment. Are they correct, and how soon could judgment come?

I have had the opportunity to interview each of these end time’s experts on Prophecy Update Radio. To hear, first hand, what they believe the future for America is in Bible prophecy, listen to their and others answers by clicking on the links below. *These interviews were conducted within the past two years.

Will Arab Protests Result in Mideast Wars?

Arab protests continue spreading like wildfires throughout the Middle East. Many liberal pundits hope this promotes freedom and democracy throughout the region. However, while Americans wait for Mideast dust to settle and new Arab governments to form, they are experiencing pain at the pumps. Gas prices rose 26 times in 27 days in parts of California in the month of February, 2011.

This week on Prophecy Update Radio Bill reminds the listeners Mideast events could signal the Israeli War Prophecies are about to occur. He suggests the unrest might be the Lord's way of telling humanity; “You have had 62-years since Israel became a nation; international community, and you’ve botched it and made it worse, and they have high-tech arsenals that can decimate the Jewish State pointed at the Jewish State.

Furthermore he adds, And I think the Lord’s going to step in at this point, and I don’t think we’re going to see an international peaceful resolve to this matter. I think it’s going to break out into wars and the peace Israel so desperately needs and wants to achieve they’ll have it and they’ll dwell securely in order for Ezekiel 38 & 39 to occur. But, it won’t be through politically brokered land for peace deals. I think it’s going to be a mess in the Mideast!”

Bill concludes the interview by reminding the listeners why democracy in the Arab and Persian dominated countries hasn't work.

Egypt's 40-Year Desolation

Dear Mr. Salus, Greetings in the Name of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. In reading some of your articles it is clear you believe Psalm 83 precedes Ezekiel 38. I’m puzzled about some prophecies regarding Egypt in the end time's. Could you please answer the following questions?

Q. Ezekiel 29:12-13 says Egypt is made desolate for 40 years, has this happened in history?

Q. Isaiah 19:23 says there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt. When do you believe this finds fulfillment?

Q. Isaiah 19:18 says 5 cities in Egypt will speak the language of Canaan. Has this happened in history?

Ezekiel Predicts 40-years of Egyptian Deportation

“I (the Lord) will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and among the cities that are laid waste, her cities shall be desolate forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries.” (Ezekiel 29:12, nkjv)

Ezekiel tells us Egyptians will be scattered among the nations and dispersed throughout the countries for forty years. No historical record or archaeological finding has yet confirmed an Egyptian (40-year) deportation similar to those experienced by Israel’s, (400-year Egyptian bondage, 70-year Babylonian captivity, or 1878-year worldwide diaspora.)

According to the Jewish historian Josephus, Egyptians went into captivity after Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon conquered Egypt, which occurred around 568 B.C. However, it is difficult to confirm the length of the Egyptian deportation. Thus, 40-years of Egyptian deportation might still be a pending prophetic event.

Additionally, Isaiah 19 seems to connect with Ezekiel’s prophecy. (See the three related articles discussing Egypt and Isaiah 19 linked below.) Is Egypt about to experience a desolation brought on by the Arab –Israeli War described in Psalm 83?

Was Jesus a Jew or Roman Catholic?

Understanding the Flaws of Catholic Eschatology

Matthew 23:39 declares Jesus won't return until the Jews proclaim “Baruch haba b'shem ADONAI!” This is Hebrew for “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!” However, Catholic eschatology teaches Christ returns after humanity converts to Roman Catholicism. This implies Jews, Muslims, Protestants, Hindus, and Buddhists must convert to Catholicism. Is this why the Vatican is presently reaching out to world religions?

This week on Prophecy Update Radio Bill interviews end time’s expert Mike Gendron the founder of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries. Mike discusses the dangers of Catholic eschatology and the “Four Steps” of Christian apostasy listed below:

1. Rejection of Scripture,
2. Distortion of Scripture,
3. Replacement of Scripture,
4. Demonization of Scripture.

The “seeds of apostasy” are already deeply rooted inside Christianity today according to Gendron. He believes the stage is set for the harlot world religious system of Revelation 17 to take over. According to a Mary apparition, “Mary is coming for all her children.”

Is Egypt in Psalm 83?

By Bill Salus

Most modern day equivalents of the Psalm 83:6-8 participants are easily identifiable today. Clearly, the territories of Edom, Moab, and Ammon represents modern day Jordan. Furthermore, Tyre still exists in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip is located in ancient Philistia. However, Egypt is more difficult to identify causing some scholars to question its existence in the Psalm. (Read Article Now)

The Treasured Ones of Psalm 83

Comment - Dear Mr. Salus - I regularly receive emails from Bible Prophecy and as a matter of fact, I pray Psalm 83 every night for the total defeat of Israel's satanic enemies. Regarding your article "Is the Church Identified in Psalm 83?" I would like to bring the following to your attention. In my Bible Ps.83.3 reads as follows:

"They are making secret plans against your people; they are plotting against those you protect."

I feel that this translation of vs.3 is far more descriptive, especially in light of current events that are leading up to Psalm 83, which I believe will be the next "happening" in the prophetic mid east calendar. It never ceases to amaze me how much different Bible translations differ. Yours in Christ – J.M. - South Africa

Response – Dear J.M. thanks for your comment. In 2010, Chuck Missler and I discussed this topic at a Southern California prophecy conference we were speaking at. (Read full response)

What Does the Future Hold for Egypt?

Q. Bill, in reading Isaiah 19 the WORD speaks of smiting Egypt...then healing it and they returning back to the Lord...even an altar is built on the borders for worship to our true God. vs. 24 says Israel shall be the third with Egypt and Assyria--a blessing in the midst of the land.
My question....is this after Psalm 83?
