Join us for an in-depth expository Bible study of Ezekiel 24:1-27 – Killing Her Shortly With His Word, a powerful sermon exploring the 24th chapter of Ezekiel in the Old Testament. This video, delivered from a Calvary Chapel perspective, unpacks God’s prophetic message to Ezekiel, focusing on the fall of Jerusalem, the siege by King Nebuchadnezzar, and the personal cost of obedience to God’s will. For Christians, Bible study enthusiasts, and those intrigued by Bible prophecy, this teaching reveals how God’s commands—often a ‘voluntold’ calling—equip and example His people, even through trials like the death of Ezekiel’s wife and the destruction of the Temple.

In Ezekiel 24, we see God’s judgment unfold through a parable of a ruined pot, symbolizing Jerusalem’s fate, and the sudden loss of Ezekiel’s beloved wife as a sign to Israel. This study examines themes of obedience, divine equipping, and God’s faithfulness amid rebellion, connecting Old Testament prophecy to lessons for today’s Church. Keywords like voluntold, a blend of volunteer and told, highlight how God’s big asks—seen in Moses, Mary, Jonah, and Ezekiel—come with spiritual equipping and purpose, preparing believers for His plans.

Perfect for those searching for Bible study resources, sermons on Ezekiel, or insights into Christianity and prophecy, this video ties the historical siege of Jerusalem to God’s unchanging nature. Whether you’re exploring the Old Testament, seeking Calvary Chapel teachings, or studying the interplay of faith and judgment, this sermon offers rich scriptural depth. We’ll cover Ezekiel 24’s key verses, the significance of Jerusalem’s fall, and how God’s Word remains relevant for modern believers facing their own ‘voluntold’ moments.

Welcome to Prophecy Updates #819 – Shut-up, Daniel, part of our ongoing series exploring current world trends aligning with Bible prophecy. In this episode, we dive deep into the Book of Daniel, specifically Daniel 12:4, where it says, “shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Join us as we unpack how today’s advancements in biometrics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), cashless commerce, human DNA manipulation, global government, instantaneous communication, and the push to rebuild the Temple on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount reflect biblical predictions for the end times.

This Bible study and sermon from a Calvary Chapel perspective examines how these prophetic signs are trending like never before. We explore two interpretations of “knowledge shall increase”: a growing understanding of God’s plan for Israel and the Church, as emphasized in dispensationalist teaching, and the explosion of technology, science, and global travel in the modern era. Artificial Intelligence stands out as a key focus, with experts like Elon Musk warning of its potential to surpass human intelligence and pose serious risks—could AI be setting the stage for end-times events?

For those seeking in-depth Bible prophecy insights, this video connects scripture to today’s headlines, highlighting the rapture, the Great Tribulation, and the distinct destinies of the Church and Israel. Jesus’ promise in Revelation 3:10 assures the Church escape from the coming hour of trial, while Israel’s salvation follows the Tribulation. The resurrection and rapture remain imminent—ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Perfect for Christians, Bible students, and prophecy enthusiasts, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at how technology and world events align with God’s Word. Are you ready for the end times? Get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up as we approach the fulfillment of these ancient prophecies.

Ezekiel 23:1-49 – Oho, Oho, A Harlot’s Life For Me

March 17, 2025

To expose the sin of Samaria & Jerusalem, the LORD tells a story of two unfaithful sisters, Oholah & Oholibah.

Welcome to our chapter-by-chapter Bible study series on the Old Testament book of Ezekiel with “Ezekiel 23:1-49 – Oho, Oho, A Harlot’s Life For Me.” This expository sermon unpacks Ezekiel 23, an allegory of two unfaithful sisters, Oholah (Samaria) and Oholibah (Jerusalem), representing Israel and Judah’s spiritual idolatry. Perfect for Christians, Bible students, and those exploring spirituality, this Calvary Chapel-style teaching dives into God’s Word to reveal His intimate and incessant love amidst human unfaithfulness.

In this video, we explore how God portrays Samaria and Jerusalem as harlots, unfaithful to Him despite His covenant. Oholah, meaning “her own tabernacle,” and Oholibah, “My tabernacle is in her,” highlight the northern and southern kingdoms’ idolatry after Solomon’s reign—Samaria’s false worship and Jerusalem’s defiled Temple. Ezekiel’s vivid language, paraphrased here for clarity, shows their pursuit of Assyrian and Babylonian lovers, symbolizing alliances with pagan nations and idols. God’s response—judgment through conquest—reflects His holy jealousy and deep sorrow, emotions echoing Hosea 11:8 and Hebrews 4:15, where Jesus sympathizes with us.

This sermon organizes Ezekiel 23 into two points: God’s intimate love (verses 1-10), hurt by spiritual infidelity, and His incessant love (verses 11-49), persisting despite Judah’s worse rebellion. Keywords like idolatry, unfaithfulness, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Egypt connect to New Testament warnings (1 John 5:21, 1 Corinthians 10:14, Colossians 3:5), urging believers to flee idolatry today. We see God’s heart broken by sin, yet His sovereignty unshaken, culminating in Babylon’s 70-year captivity and Israel’s future restoration.

For those searching Bible prophecy, Christianity, or Old Testament studies, this video ties Ezekiel to broader themes—Israel’s 1948 rebirth, the Great Tribulation, and Christ’s return. Whether you’re a Calvary Chapel fan or seeking expository preaching, this teaching equips you to understand God’s emotions and apply His truth. How does spiritual unfaithfulness hurt God today? Reflect with us.

Welcome to Prophecy Update #818 – His Number Is 6GG, part of our ongoing series exploring current world trends aligning with Bible prophecy about the end times. This video dives deep into biblical futurism, where we interpret unfulfilled prophetic passages as literal, physical, apocalyptic, and global future events. Join us for an in-depth Bible study examining how today’s technological advancements—biometrics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), cashless commerce, human DNA manipulation, global government, instant global communication, exponential knowledge growth, and the push to rebuild the Temple on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount—match predictions in the Book of Revelation.

In this sermon, we focus on 6G technology, the next generation of wireless innovation succeeding 5G. Expected by 2030, 6G promises faster speeds, lower latency, and efficient connectivity, enabling AI-driven networks, immersive augmented and virtual reality, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, smart cities, autonomous systems, and even brain-computer interfaces. These advancements aren’t just about better phones—they signal a tyrannical surveillance society foretold in Scripture. Revelation predicts a global government enforcing a cashless economy, accessible only through a personal biometric identifier on the forehead or hand. Once unimaginable, this system could launch today, perfectly describing the antichrist’s rule during the Great Tribulation.

We explore insights from experts like David Bowen, who warns of 6G’s role in a 40-year march toward total surveillance, control, and loss of autonomy. Samsung claims 6G will transform entertainment, medicine, education, and manufacturing, integrating AI and automation into every aspect of life. This aligns with end-times prophecy, where every action, conversation, and movement could be tracked and controlled—hallmarks of the future tribulation government.

For Christians, Bible students, and those curious about prophecy, this video connects today’s headlines to Revelation 3:10, where Jesus promises to keep believers from the hour of trial. The rapture and resurrection of the church are imminent—could happen any moment. Are you ready? This Calvary Chapel-style teaching urges you to get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up, because Jesus is coming soon.

Are you searching for an in-depth expository Bible study on Mark 1:29-38? Do you want to understand Jesus’ miracles, His ministry, and His mission beyond just the physical healings? In this verse-by-verse expository study, we explore how Jesus served tirelessly, healed the sick, cast out demons, and prioritized preaching the Gospel above all else.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

The significance of Jesus healing Simon Peter’s mother-in-law (Mark 1:30-31)
How Jesus worked late into the night healing and ministering to the people (Mark 1:32-34)
Why Jesus rose early in the morning to pray and seek the Father (Mark 1:35)
The true reason Jesus came—to preach the Gospel rather than just perform miracles (Mark 1:38)
The contrast between the crowd’s expectations of Jesus and His actual mission

Why This Bible Study Matters:

The people of Capernaum saw Jesus as a miracle worker, but they missed His true purpose: to bring salvation through the Gospel. Many today still seek Jesus only for earthly blessings while ignoring His greater calling. This study challenges us to follow Jesus for who He is, not just what He can do for us.

Who Is This Video For?

Anyone wanting a deep dive into the Gospel of Mark
Christians looking for solid Bible teaching and expository preaching
Those interested in Jesus’ miracles, prayer life, and ministry focus
People searching for Calvary Chapel Bible studies and verse-by-verse teaching

Key Takeaways From Mark 1:29-38

Jesus served tirelessly—ministering to the sick, casting out demons, and teaching (Mark 1:29-34)

Jesus prioritized prayer—showing us the importance of communion with the Father (Mark 1:35)

Jesus came to preach the Gospel—miracles were a sign, but salvation was the mission (Mark 1:38)

Many sought Jesus for the wrong reasons—but He calls us to true discipleship (Mark 1:36-37)

Prophecy Update #817 – We Do Digital Right | Bible Prophecy, End Times, and the Coming Cashless System

Are we witnessing the rapid rise of a global, cashless economy that will play a role in end-times prophecy? In this week’s Prophecy Update #817, we examine how biometrics, artificial intelligence, and digital commerce are shaping a world that aligns with Bible prophecy. As technology advances, we see clear indications of a future system described in the Book of Revelation, where a one-world government will control global trade through a personal biometric identifier.

The Bible foretells a time when no one will be able to buy or sell without a mark on their hand or forehead (Revelation 13:16-17). What was once considered impossible is now becoming reality. From cashless transactions to AI-driven commerce, companies like Yum Brands (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) are moving toward 100% digital sales, reflecting the technological infrastructure necessary for the prophesied global economic system.

What You’ll Learn in This Prophecy Update:

– How biometrics, AI, and digital payments point to the coming cashless society
– Why global corporations are pushing for 100% digital sales and what it means for Bible prophecy
– How the mark of the beast system could be implemented today
– What the Bible says about the seven-year Great Tribulation and the Antichrist’s economic control
– The promise of the rapture of the Church—why believers in Jesus Christ won’t be here for the tribulation

Signs of the Last Days – Are You Ready?

The resurrection and rapture of the Church is imminent. Jesus promised:
“I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the Earth.” (Revelation 3:10)

The world is being conditioned for a global system that will dominate during the Great Tribulation. But Christians have hope—we are not appointed to God’s wrath! Are you ready for the return of Jesus Christ?

📖 Watch this prophecy update to stay informed, encouraged, and prepared for the Lord’s return!

In this expository sermon, we explore:
The prophetic meaning of God lending His sword to King Nebuchadnezzar
How divine judgment reflects God’s holiness and deep sorrow
How this text relates to the doctrines of impassability and relational sovereignty and Christian liberty.

Prophecy Update #816 – Trump & Temple

February 23, 2025

Prime Minister of Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, recently called President Trump the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House. In his first term, President Trump did something amazing for Israel. He moved their embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

There is a great deal of speculation that Jews in Jerusalem will take advantage of the Trump presidency in order to get the Temple built.

Those around Trump would like to see the Temple built. Speaking at an event in Jerusalem in 2018, now Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said there was “no reason why the miracle of re-establishing the Temple on the Temple Mount isn’t possible,” using the Israeli name for the raised plateau in occupied East Jerusalem where Al-Aqsa Mosque stands.

He also told attendees that Israel should take advantage of Trump being in office to do what they needed to do in the region, because there were “true believers” in Washington who would back them.

Right now it remains speculation. We are simply pointing-out that this is exactly what you would expect to read about in the news if you are familiar with the Bible and its prophecies.

Ezekiel 20:45-49 – I’ve Seen Fire & I’ve Seen Pain

February 16, 2025

The LORD describes His discipline of Judah and Jerusalem as a fire that will consume everything in its path.

Ezekiel was God’s 6th century prophet to the Judean Jews exiled in Babylon. A remarkable number of his prophecies were presented as silent theatrical dramas. When he did speak, Ezekiel frequently did so utilizing riddles, allegories, and metaphors. So much so that Ezekiel could say (in verse 49), “Ah, Lord GOD! They say of me, ‘Does he not speak parables?’ ”

Ezekiel describes the third and final siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonians as if it were a catastrophic forest fire.

In this Bible study, we cover:
The historical context of Babylon’s third and final siege of Jerusalem
How Ezekiel’s prophetic style used symbols and parables to reveal God’s will
The significance of God’s discipline and how it applies to us today
Why the people dismissed Ezekiel’s words as “just parables” (Ezekiel 20:49)

Prophecy Update #815 – Hard To Swallow

February 16, 2025

Jesus compares His future death, burial, and resurrection to the experience of Jonah (Matthew 12:39-40). Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of a great fish, and similarly, Jesus would be in the tomb for three days and three nights before rising again.

I hope you saw the video this week of a kayaker being momentarily swallowed by a whale!

PROPHECY UPDATE #815 – HARD TO SWALLOW | Bible Prophecy & Viral News

What does a viral video of a kayaker getting swallowed by a whale have to do with Bible prophecy? In Matthew 12:39-40, Jesus compares His death, burial, and resurrection to the experience of Jonah, who spent three days and three nights in the belly of a great fish. This remarkable event foreshadowed Christ’s time in the tomb before His glorious resurrection.

While this recent whale encounter isn’t a direct prophetic sign, it does remind us of something undeniable: Jesus is alive, and He is coming back. Could God have a sense of humor and a flair for the dramatic? This Bible study and prophecy update explores the sign of Jonah, what Jesus meant by it, and why it still matters today.

Talking With A Man Down By The River (Mark 1:4-11) | Expository Bible Study & Sermon

What happens when a wild prophet in the wilderness proclaims the coming of the Messiah—and then, one day, the Messiah actually shows up? In Mark 1:4-11, we see John the Baptist preaching repentance and preparing the way for Jesus Christ, the Son of God. But Jesus isn’t just another teacher—He is God in the flesh, identifying with sinners and beginning His public ministry through baptism. Why does Jesus get baptized? What does this moment reveal about the Trinity? And what does it mean for our salvation today?

Join us for this in-depth Bible study through the Gospel of Mark as we explore the significance of John the Baptist, Jesus’ baptism, and the voice of God declaring, “You are My beloved Son.” This Christian sermon will help you understand the gospel, the identity of Christ, and how He came to take away our sins.

Ezekiel 20:1-44 – National Inquirers: Idolatrous Minds Want To Know

February 9, 2025

The Elders of the nation of Judah come to inquire of the Lord, but they didn’t need a new message from God, they needed to obey what He had already revealed to them.

In our own lives, we may have experienced times when it seems as though God is not telling us what to do, where to go, and what to say. Likely He has already told us what we need to know.

Prophecy Update #814 – L.A. 2.0

January 26, 2025

In the wake of the fires in Los Angeles, some governmental leaders are suggesting we rebuild towns like Pacific Palisades and Eaton as ‘Smart Cities,’ with what they call a modern Marshall Plan. It sounds utopian, but history and prophecy suggest it would more likely be dystopian.

Control over the total population is predicted for the Last Days. There has never been a time in human history in which the government has had so many tools and the technology to significantly control everything about you.

In Prophecy Update #814 – L.A. 2.0, we explore the aftermath of the devastating fires in Los Angeles and the controversial proposal to rebuild towns like Pacific Palisades and Eaton as “Smart Cities.” While the idea of a modern Marshall Plan might sound promising, what does it mean for personal freedom? These Smart Cities could bring sweeping changes: no single-family zoning, mandatory public transit, and unprecedented government control over daily life. Could this be a utopian dream or a dystopian reality?

Bible prophecy foretells a time of total population control in the Last Days. Today’s technology gives governments tools to monitor and regulate society like never before. Could these Smart Cities be the stepping stones toward fulfilling end-times prophecy? Join us for an in-depth study of what the Bible says about the future and how current events align with Scripture.

Prophecy Update #812 – Normies

January 12, 2025

Hermeneutics is the study of how to interpret the Bible. What principles & methods do we follow? Why do we follow them?

Our ‘hermeneutic’ emphasizes a literal, grammatical-historical approach to interpreting the Bible. Here is what we mean.

Join us for Prophecy Update #812, where we explore the foundational Biblical hermeneutic used at Calvary Hanford—a literal, grammatical-historical approach to interpreting Scripture. In this video, we discuss why it’s essential to read the Bible as we would any other literature, paying attention to the plain, normal meaning of words, while recognizing literary devices like metaphors and symbols within their proper context.

This method leads us to two key conclusions:

The Bible should be understood in its straightforward, literal sense.
Ethnic Israel and the Church are distinct entities in God’s overarching plan for humanity.

By interpreting the Bible this way, we embrace a “normal” reading that honors its genre, historical setting, and the intent of its authors. This perspective not only enriches our understanding of Bible prophecy but also strengthens our faith as we see God’s plan unfolding with clarity and purpose.

What does it mean to bear spiritual fruit in God’s vineyard? In this expository sermon on Ezekiel 15:1-8, we explore the sobering imagery of the wild vine. The 6th-century Jews, called to abide in the Lord, chose to become unfruitful wildwood, destined for the fire. This powerful passage points us to Jesus’ words in John 15:5-6: “He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered.”

In this study, we’ll examine two key truths:
Your Yield Depends Upon Your Yielding
Your Burning Comes From Your Burdening

This message challenges us to reflect on our spiritual walk: Are we bearing fruit through abiding in Christ, or are we weighed down by worldly burdens, heading for judgment?

If you’re passionate about deep Bible study, understanding Old Testament prophecy, or uncovering connections to New Testament teachings, this sermon is for you. Perfect for those seeking Christian sermons, Calvary Chapel teachings, or insights into living a fruitful life in Christ.

What Is Relational Theology?

November 14, 2024

What is relational sovereignty?

Christians wrestle with how to understand how God’s sovereignty works. On the one hand, the Bible clearly presents God as sovereign over all the universe. But, at the same time, it also presents God’s will and activity as being flexible and even acted upon by His creation.

We read the Bible and see that God could deliver His people from suffering, and sometimes He does, but much more often we are left to suffer in this life. How can we square that reality with the promise that God is a God of love?

Many Christians hold to a view of sovereignty commonly called “meticulous determinism,” or “meticulous providence.” But this view does not account for much of what we see in Scripture and it logically concludes with God being a monster Who makes sport of human beings.

A smaller number of Christians hold a view commonly called “open Theism,” where God is not actually sovereign.

Is there another way to understand what is revealed in Scripture but also squares with the problem of suffering?

Relational sovereignty offers the way.

Prophecy Update #794 – This Mount Is My Mount

July 28, 2024

None of the major news outlets understand the true cause of the fighting in Israel that began with the October 7 attack by Hamas.

In May of 2021 Hamas launched rockets in retaliation for Israeli security forces entering the Al Aqsa Mosque after Palestinians threw stones and other objects at them. Hamas opposes any changes to the status quo at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.

The current war was started by Hamas in response to the arrival of the red heifers. These exceedingly rare animals are needed to establish worship on the Temple Mount. In January, 2024, a Hamas spokesman specifically identified the red heifers as proof Israel would soon try to destroy the Mosque & other Islamic buildings.

Prophecy Update #792 – Before Your Very Eyes

July 14, 2024

One day the Holy Land was under British control. The next day, Israel was a sovereign nation.

Over 2,800 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel spoke these words about Israel:

“I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land” (36:24).

The first part of that was fulfilled on May 14, 1948. Isaiah made this wild claim: “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children” (66:8).

Does God’s Sovereignty Cancel Out Free Will?

July 2, 2024

Does the Biblical illustration of the potter and the clay prove that God’s sovereignty cancels out human free will?

Does God create some humans for salvation and others for damnation?

What are we to make of this word picture when we read passages like Romans 9?

You may be surprised to learn that every instance of this illustration concerns nations, not individuals.

Pastor Gene Pensiero shares some thoughts on this issue.

Isaiah 63:7-64:12 – One ClayNation, Under God, Impressionable

June 30, 2024

Isaiah illustrates God’s involvement with nations as a potter working with impressionable clay.

Certain aggressive but disturbing theologies teach that the Master Potter makes some ‘people-pottery’ that will definitely be saved, AND He makes some ‘people-pottery’ that cannot be saved. If you object to that awful depiction of God, they will look at you with their cold, steely eyes and say three words they believe will render you subdued and compliant: “God is sovereign.”

Of course God is sovereign! His sovereignty doesn’t mean God can behave in ways that are contrary to His nature. If something would be immoral for us to do, how much more terrible if God does it?

That approach to sovereignty reminds me of the famous Richard Nixon quote, “When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.”

Isaiah 63:7-64:12 – One ClayNation, Under God, Impressionable

June 30, 2024

Isaiah illustrates God’s involvement with nations as a potter working with impressionable clay.

Certain aggressive but disturbing theologies teach that the Master Potter makes some ‘people-pottery’ that will definitely be saved, AND He makes some ‘people-pottery’ that cannot be saved. If you object to that awful depiction of God, they will look at you with their cold, steely eyes and say three words they believe will render you subdued and compliant: “God is sovereign.”

Of course God is sovereign! His sovereignty doesn’t mean God can behave in ways that are contrary to His nature. If something would be immoral for us to do, how much more terrible if God does it?

That approach to sovereignty reminds me of the famous Richard Nixon quote, “When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.”

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 – Lifestyles Of The Rich And Restless

June 19, 2024

Everyone wants to live the good life. Is that such a bad thing?

The Teacher lived the good life to an extreme none of us can imagine. He had every pleasure imaginable and, in the end, he said it was all hevel – smoke that dissipated whenever he tried to grab it.

If living the good life doesn’t ultimately satisfy, what IS the meaning of life? How do we find the fulfillment we all want deep in our hearts?

What Is My Calling?

April 30, 2024

Christians talk about our “calling.” What does that really mean? Is it just for professional missionaries or people who work at a church?

In Ephesians we learn that calling is for everyone and that it comes to us in three ways: General calling, categorical calling, and personal calling.
