God’s Preliminary Judgments?
Friday, December 17th, 2010As I write this (January 1994), some 20,000 victims of the recent California earthquake suffer in improvised and inadequate tent shelters, in abysmal conditions, totally unfamiliar to their accustomed and normally privileged lifestyles. A soldier-enforced curfew seeks to prevent widespread looting, but no legal restraint impedes the greedy from charging exorbitant prices for the simplest amenities, even water.
Some Sober Prophetic Reflections (1993)
Wednesday, December 15th, 2010It seems as if God’s restraint is being increasingly lifted and removed from the world. There is a horrendous breaking-down and erosion of the most elementary values and decency. My soul is oppressed by the mounting hellishness, violence, mindless and conscienceless blood lust, terror and hatred. It is as if the whole moral order is unraveling, even the minimal legal restraints of society, to reveal the naked evil that is in the world.
What ought we to be about in God in the Last Days?
Wednesday, December 15th, 2010There must be a cleaving to the prophetic word appropriate to the Last Days’ purposes of God. At its heart is Israel’s final redemption as obtained through a Church, alerted and prepared through such a word, for its own self-transfiguring and essential part in that restoration.
Sent from God
Tuesday, December 14th, 2010From Isaiah 6, Art shows that the prophetic word of judgment upon Israel still holds, and can only be alleviated by another prophetic word out of the mouths of those who have passed through Isaiah’s own seeing.
Resurrection of the Dry Bones
Tuesday, December 14th, 2010Another examination of the classic text from Ezekiel 37 whereby the nation Israel is raised from its yet future “death” by a word spoken from another entity (the church) present with them at that time.
Critique of the Modern Prophetic Movement
Friday, December 10th, 2010An examination of the intrinsic elements of what the Lord condemns in false prophets (equally applicable for all ministers). Art maintains that fraudulence in those offices will foster a lack of holiness and other God-dishonoring activity in the Church.
Who shall go for Us?
Friday, December 10th, 2010Similar to K-361, Art outlines the conditions whereby God is released to utter His call that He may send a people into the earth for His Name.
Woe is me!
Friday, December 10th, 2010Art shows that the cry of Isaiah needs also, in measure, to be our cry that we may be saved from our insipid and predictable Christianity.
Rebuilding the House of God
Thursday, December 9th, 2010From the book of Haggai, Art shows how deep God’s concern is for His own house by sending a prophet to proclaim judgment and shaking.
Ezekiel 37 – The Death of Humanism
Thursday, December 9th, 2010Having brought a remnant of Israel into the valley of despair, God turns to a prophetic entity – the true church of the last days – to speak the word of life that Israel may live.
Elijah the Prophet

The Prophetic Distinctive (1 of 2)
Monday, November 8th, 2010A comprehensive examination of the office of prophet in the church today. Art touches on the forming of a prophet, the role of a prophet, and answers very practical questions on present-day prophets, prophetic discerning and the validity of women prophets.
Hosea and Gomer – God’s Endtime Strategy
Thursday, December 31st, 2009God gives us the prophet Hosea and his relationship with his adulterous wife as being a perfect parallel of His relationship with an adulterous Israel. The prophet has to experience God’s grief for His nation. If Hosea is going to be the mouthpiece of God, he is going to proclaim some hard things, and therefore needs to share God’s grief for the people he is addressing.
Jeremiah – Prophet of the Last Days
Thursday, September 10th, 2009Jeremiah – Prophet of the Last Days The absence of persecution in the church is a statement to our shame. There is something wrong in the character of the church when it does not evoke any opposition to itself. It means that the church has been found quite acceptable in the same world that is […]
The Arab and the Jew
Friday, March 7th, 2008The present crisis in Israel must be seen in the context of biblical understanding. It is the drama of a Jacob people called to be the Isra-el of God so as to bless all the families of the earth.
