Israel May Yet Export Natural Gas to Europe

Last updated on: February 4, 2022 at 8:36 pm   By Kermit Zarley

I sometimes write about Israel because it occupies a most prominent place in Bible prophecy, which I write books about (see kermitzarley.com). Also, Christians and Jews have so much in common even though they have such a strained and somewhat deplorable history in their relationship due to anti-Semitism. One issue that I’ve written about is the very abundant, undersea oil and natural gas deposits in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea that belong to Israel. In fact, I was a shareholder in... Read more

Republican Party Downfall

Last updated on: February 4, 2022 at 7:40 pm   By Kermit Zarley

As I have revealed on my blog, I have always been an independent voter who always voted for a Republican president until Barak Obama. And I have never been that political until recently. And I have believed that, generally, politics should be left outside the door when Christians go to church. That is, getting very political in their meetings can be divisive among Christians, who should be focused on God and Jesus. But as Republican Donald Trump’s presidency proceeded through... Read more

Did Trump Implicate Himself Criminally at Conroe?

Last updated on: January 31, 2022 at 3:11 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Yesterday, former President Donald Trump held a political rally in Conroe, Texas, 40 miles north of downtown Houston, called Save American PAC.” I’m a former resident of metro-Houston 40 years.) He mentioned that the U.S. Congress is considering a bi-partisan alteration of the 1887 Electoral Count Act that would affect, among perhaps other items, the ceremonial role of the vice president in certifying the electoral votes of a presidential election on Certification Day, which was January 6, 2020, when the... Read more

Luke List Wins Farmers

Last updated on: January 29, 2022 at 7:42 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Thirty-seven year old journeyman Luke List just won his first PGA Tour title at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines near San Diego after 207 tries on the big Tour. He did it in dramatic fashion by shooting a six-under par 66 and coming from five strokes behind on the final round today to tie another winless, but young and up-and-coming player, 25-year-old Will Zalatoris. In the sudden-death playoff, on the par-five 18th hole as the 1st hole, both... Read more

The James Webb Space Telescope

Last updated on: January 28, 2022 at 12:22 pm   By Kermit Zarley

  The James Webb Space Telescope was launched by NASA from French Guiana on December 25th last year. On Monday, this $10 billion project, in the making for 25 years, had flown almost a million miles to reach its permanent orbit, called L2, of 600,000 miles from Earth.

Ukraine Crisis Update

Ukraine is the largest of the Eastern European nations that all became independent, sovereign nations when they were released from the grip of the Soviet Union due its collapse on December 26, 1991. Ukraine’s government has been struggling in recent years in its fight against corruption in order to meet European Union standards for membership acceptance, which Ukraine desperately wants.

What If Raffensperger Would Have Found 11,780 More Votes

Last updated on: January 23, 2022 at 9:14 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Experts are saying “the legal walls are closing in on Trump.” The biggest nightmare for Trump this week was that the Supreme Court rejected his plea to impose executive privilege and thereby not turn presidential documents over to especially the Select House Committee investigating the January 6th, 2021, Capitol riot. The National Archives then promptly delivered many such documents, phone records, etc. to the committee. The committee then announced it is planning to finish its investigation and hold public, televised... Read more

Paul’s Intertextuality about the Antichrist: Part Two of Two

Last updated on: December 10, 2022 at 1:06 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Paul’s Eschatology in 2 Thessalonians Jesus seems to have derived much of his concept about the kingdom of God from the apocalyptic book of Daniel.[1] He says in his very prophetic Olivet Discourse concerning the temple at Jerusalem, “when you see standing in the holy place the abomination that causes desolation, spoken through Daniel the prophet . . . let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. . . . For then will be great distress, unequaled from... Read more

Paul’s Intertextuality about the Antichrist: Part One of Two

Last updated on: January 22, 2022 at 1:29 pm   By Kermit Zarley

The apostle Paul writes some important information about the Antichrist, whom he calls “the lawless one,” in his second epistle to the Thessalonians. He begins by correcting a false notion that had been circulating among Christians, that Jesus’ predicted return from heaven had already occurred. But in Paul’s correction of this falsehood, he mentions a “restraining” of the existence of the Antichrist that is obscure to us. Thus, there has been a lack of scholarly consensus as to what Paul... Read more
