A View from the Bunker

TONIGHT WE begin our series of interviews from the Rocky Mountain International Prophecy Conference, discussions with the speakers recorded live in Colorado Springs July 15-17. This week, we talk geopolitics and near-term prophecy with Bill Koenig, president of Koenig's International News and author of the new book Revealed: Obama's Legacy, and Bill Salus of Prophecy Depot Ministries, author of Th...

Just because Britain’s ‘leave’ vote on its referendum on EU membership may spell the end of the European Union, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Bible prophecy teachers expecting a revived Roman Empire before the end of all things are wrong. Bill Salus, author of The NOW Prophecies, explains that any number of prophesied calamities, from a Middle East war to a natural disaster that cripples the Un...

OVER 1,000 evangelical Christian leaders had a closed door meeting with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday, June 21. While this was an encouraging development, how much hope should Christians place in Mr. Trump as a defender of biblical values? James Walker, president of the apologetics ministry Watchman Fellowship, was one of the leaders invited to attend. He shares his tho...

THE WORLD is heading for a cataclysmic, climactic clash of cultures. Islam and Christendom are on a collision course being orchestrated by supernatural principalities and powers. When the end comes, it will be fought between groups of people who are absolutely convinced that God is on their side. Cris Putnam, co-author with Tom Horn of the new book The Final Roman Emperor, the Islamic Antichrist,...

WHEN GOD gave the Law to Moses, He decreed that every 50th year, the end of seven cycles of shmita (Sabbatical years), would be a Jubilee year. Debts would be cancelled, bondservants would go free, and land that had been sold reverted to its original owner. Evangelist Dan Goodwin, author of God's Final Jubilee, says the Jubilee is exactly what God has in store when He returns to reclaim title to p...

A STRANGE incident recorded in the first four verses of the sixth chapter of the Book of Genesis has had a much greater influence on the rest of the Bible than we've been taught. Dr. Michael Heiser, scholar-in-residence at Logos Bible Software and author of the highly recommended The Unseen Realm, explains why and gives us a taste of what we can expect in his forthcoming book on the sin of the Wat...

THE 24/7 access to the Internet we've given our kids has also given predators the means to contact and "groom" our children. As parents, we need to get up to speed to protect our kids from monsters who would take them from us. Opal Singleton, president and CEO of MillionKids.org and author of Seduced: The Grooming of America's Teenagers, explains how social media and Internet-connected video games...

THE BIBLE tells us that a day is coming when the Earth will reel "like a drunkard" (Isaiah 24:20). Are we seeing early signs of this today? Stan Deyo joins us to discuss the recent major earthquakes in Japan and Ecuador, the possibility of a disastrous quake along the Juan de Fuca Plate off the coast of Oregon and Washington, the drift of the magnetic poles, a possible cause for the worldwide repo...

HISTORICAL FICTION is a popular genre, but J.R.R. Tolkien may have been the only author ever to create a fictional world so convincingly real that it can be analyzed as history. Somewhat surprisingly, that hasn't been attempted until now. Dr. Timothy Furnish, who normally writes on Islamic history and eschatology, joins us to discuss his fascinating new book, High Towers and Strong Places: A Polit...

ONE OF the problems that has plagued the U.S. military since Vietnam is a failure to understand, much less accommodate, the cultural differences of the people in places like southeast Asia or the Middle East. Corporate consultant, combat veteran, and former Army spy Pete Turner explains the importance of “leveraging culture” — especially in conflict zones. Click here to listen to Pete's podcast, B...

THE EARTH is heading for some rough days. Predictions of a cataclysmic encounter with a mysterious, unseen planetary body variously called Nibiru, Nemesis, Planet X, or Planet 9 have been in the news repeatedly in recent months. Amateur astronomer and researcher Gill Broussard shares some of the information he's collected through years of research into what he calls Planet 7X and what it's impact...

ONE OF the faults of us Americans is a failure to understand much of what happens outside our borders. Until recently, many of us (Derek included) had no idea there was a fundamental and long-running hatred between the Sunni and Shia branches of Islam. Author and speaker Avi Lipkin, who will be one of the featured speakers at the Rocky Mountain International Prophecy Conference, stopped by our off...

BIBLE PROPHECY is unique among the prophetic writings of history in that they have been proven accurate again and again. Furthermore, prophecies are being fulfilled even to the present day. This suggests that we take prophecies yet to be fulfilled very seriously. Ken Johnson of www. BibleFacts.org discusses the uncanny accuracy of Bible prophecy and the views of the early church fathers, including...

EVEN MANY Jews today consider the account of their nation's creation nothing more than a myth, a story invented to justify Israel's claim to the land–and the mutual hostility with its Arab neighbors. After all, we're told by archaeologists that there is no evidence that the Hebrews were ever in Egypt. A mass migration like the one described in the Book of Exodus would have left some traces, right?...

WHAT IF God embedded a code in the Bible that could only be cracked in the end times–a prophetic cypher that has puzzled scholars for nearly two thousand years? Troy Anderson, Pulitzer Prize-nominated investigative journalist and co-author with Paul McGuire of The Babylon Code, reveals how powerful forces are now at work to create a global government, cashless society, and universal religion as pr...

WE TEND to think of prophecy as events that were either fulfilled in the past or will occur in the distant future. But there are events on the timeline of end times Bible prophecies that are due to come to pass very soon. Bill Salus joins us to discuss his new book The Now Prophecies, and why we need to watch Iran, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Israel–and the United States. Discuss these topics at the VFT...

IT SEEMS impossible that it could happen here, but seniors in America are losing their life savings because of something called forced guardianship fraud, and it’s running unchecked throughout the nation’s probate courts. Charles Pascal shares his story of how his mother-in-law, deemed incapacitated by the courts, was robbed of her decision-making rights and assigned a professional guardian whose...

ECONOMIC INDICATORS, from the Baltic Dry Index to the Chinese stock markets, are trending down. What is going on out there, and how does it affect the global chessboard? Dene McGriff, co-author with Doug Woodward and Doug Krieger of The Final Babylon: America and the Coming of Antichrist, draws on 30 years of international business and ministry experiences to help us bring the picture into focus....

CONTRARY TO the belief of many in academia, science is not inherently at odds with faith in Jesus Christ. Our guest this week proves that point beyond a shadow of doubt. åç Lambert Dolphin is a retired physicist who worked at the Stanford Research Institute for more than three decades before retiring in 1987 to devote most of his time to Bible teaching, writing, and Christian counseling. In this w...

BIBLE PROPHECY is really a message from outside our time-space continuum. Is it beyond the realm of possibility that God encoded messages in His Word that are only decipherable now with modern computer algorithms? Richard Shaw, director of the Watchers series of DVDs hosted by L.A. Marzulli and the fascinating film Torah Codes: End to Darkness, discusses a series of startling messages discovered b...

MANY OF us are grateful that our God allows us second chances. In this interview, I reconnect with a friend I hadn't seen in 35 years: Ed Apida, founder and director of New Horizons Christian School, talks about his personal mission field — a boarding school in rural Missouri for young men ages 18-22 who need to complete their high school education in a structured environment. Please join Derek an...

WHEN GOD divided mankind, He fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God. In other words, Yahweh assigned those nations to bene elohim, supernatural beings who eventually rebelled against Him and began masquerading as gods for the nations. Brian Godawa joins us to discuss his new series, Chronicles of the Watchers, and the first novel in the series, The Dragon King:...

IT MAY come as a surprise that a US citizen can be sued in an American court by a foreign national for actions in that foreign country–actions that were not illegal in either nation. Even more surprising is that the suit was filed under a law passed by Congress in the 1790s that's so vague its original meaning and purpose are unclear. Dr. Scott Lively, president of Abiding Truth Ministries, descri...

A FALLEN pastor finds himself the target of fallen angels. That's the basic premise of a new supernatural thriller from former jockey (who reportedly crossed notorious Boston mobster Whitey Bulger), award-winning sportswriter, and man with a self-described "checkered" past, Eddie Donnally. Eddie describes the path that led him to full-time ministry, the supernatural encounter that changed (and sav...

THE 20th CENTURY was an anomaly in global geopolitics. For the first time in 1300 years, Islam was not actively taking territory in lands that were mainly Christian. Dr. Timothy Furnish, a scholar of Islamic history, discusses his new book Sects, Lies, and the Caliphate: Ten Years of Observations on Islam.  He explains why the goals of the Islamic State aren't a new thing, but a return to the valu...
