God’s Word — after nearly seven decades of faithfully teaching everything the Holy Spirit has revealed to me — I can say to my friends and partners all across North America and around the world: IT IS HAPPENING! What I have taught you is coming to pass!

You and I are living in the greatest age of prophetic fulfillment in the history of mankind! World events may seem shocking to many — but they are no surprise in light of Bible prophecy. The terrorism ravaging the globe is predicted in the pages of Scripture! The financial chaos rocking world markets is prophesied in the Bible. The rise of socialism and a New World Order — government

takeovers — false prophets — all of this and much more is forecast in the Word of God! We are witnessing the truth of the Bible — God’s latter-day plan occurring before our very eyes! (John 17:17)

Which means that time is running out, beloved. The hour is late; the Truth must be proclaimed to a world in need. Otherwise, multitudes will plunge into an eternity without Christ. This is what the devil deeply desires: to lure masses of lost souls into the fires of hell! And his greatest ally in this work today is none other than radical Islam!

Yes, radical Islam hates Christians and Christianity. They hate our Lord. They are chasing down Christians in the Middle East, decapitating children in front of their horrified parents’ eyes, raping women, hanging men. They are promising to come to America, to bring their bloodthirsty jihad to our country, to fly the flag of Islam over the White House! Their quest is nothing less than world domination!

the Church today have been taken in by the deceptions of Islam. This means our ministry has never been more important than it is today — because we are proclaiming the truth, before it is eternally too late!

Certainly the devil will not give up without a fight. Rexella and I have received multiple death threats. In previous years I have been assaulted by Satan and required serious medical attention. Yet by God’s grace and power, I have survived — and I declare to you today: Come what may, I will never cease proclaiming the Truth. I am dedicated, until my dying day, to this promise. Rexella and I will never stop defending the Bible, declaring the life-transforming Good News of salvation by faith in Jesus!

This is why I have made an extraordinary decision, one I did not expect to make: Because the hour is so late, and the need is so great, I have agreed to re-release our updated Limited Edition Jack Van Impe Prophecy Bible exclusively for our other Jack Van Impe Ministries partners. This amazing Bible has SPIRITUAL POWER to overcome the deception and destruction of radical Islam’s influence.

How? This is truly the most comprehensive prophecy Bible ever produced. It empowers the reader to understand all of today’s world events. You can see your own personal prophetic future. If you give it to someone for Christmas, it will be like giving the gift of an entire Bible prophecy library in a single volume!

In this unparalleled study Bible, I share my lifetime of research and learning. Every prophetic verse in the Bible, one of every four verses,

is coded and highlighted — a total of 10,350 verses in the Old and New Testaments.

I have also included my personal Scripture Memory System, and my “A-to-Z Prophecy Index.” This enables you to know, at a glance, when every verse takes place — whether at the Rapture, during the Tribulation, at the time of the Second Coming, or in the Millennial Reign of Christ for 1,000 years!

Furthermore, I have embedded

in this remarkable volume my comprehensive, user-friendly, verse-by-verse commentaries on the books of Daniel and Revelation!

I urge you to give a generous ministry gift today to keep us bringing our broadcast ministry into your home and win souls to Christ globally, in 247 nations — and as you give your gift, request your Prophecy Bible!

It cannot be purchased in any bookstore and is

available in strictly limited quantities, so please do not delay in requesting it for yourself or someone you love. This dynamic Bible, a work of superb bonded leather craftsmanship, features the majestic King James translation in more than 1,800 pages, with the words of Christ presented in red, and a beautiful ribbon bookmark. You will find a keepsake presentation page ready for you to personalize your gift. It will arrive in a handsomely designed gift box.

You will also receive a bonus gift from me, with my gratitude: the same unique Prophetic Verses Handbook that I use in my own studies. (It is not available anywhere else.)

Please take action today. Orders received by December 12 will allow you to give this amazing Bible for Christmas. Thank you. God bless you! The amazing voice of Dr. Chuck Ohman, our beloved

Jack Van Impe Presents announcer, achieved perhaps its finest-ever expression as he recorded the entire New Testament on audio.

Send for it today, and you’ll be able to hear God’s Word in the car, around the house, as you exercise — anywhere you can play a CD. Makes a great Christmas gift, too.

An eternal planWhy did God come through the channel of a virgin’s womb? Why was it necessary for God, in spirit form, to take upon Himself a body?

Philippians 2:5-8 explicitly explains this great theological truth. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

The phrase He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross is the focal point of this discussion. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit held a meeting in eternity past and planned the entire program of redemption. All three were, at that time, in spirit form. God the Father was and still is a spirit (see John 4:24). The Holy Spirit was and still is a spirit (see John 16:13). Christ was a spirit because He was (past tense) in the form of God, which we have already proven to be a spirit form (see Philippians 2:6).

However, at this meeting of

the Trinity in ages past, it was agreed that one of the three would eventually become a human with a covering of flesh, and Christ was the elected member to fulfill salvation’s plan. This can all be proven from the Holy Scriptures. First Peter 1:20: who [Christ] verily … was manifest in these last times for you. Messiah means “sent one.” If He is the sent One, He did not originate

at Bethlehem’s manger. Instead, Galatians 4:4-5 pictures the facts as they occurred. But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law.

Does this simplistic doctrinal truth penetrate your reasoning processes? Hear it again. God sent forth His Son, made of a woman. There it is — Christ’s deity and humanity, His eternity and birth. God sent the Son who was in His presence, meaning that Christ existed as God before coming to earth. However, He was made of a woman when He was sent. This is, of course, the virgin birth which took place in the manger centuries ago when God became man.

When the Trinity outlined the plan, all the events of future history were foreknown. Remember, God knows everything. The plan progressed according to the

omniscience of the Godhead. Since God knows everything about everything and all things about all things, the following points were known thousands, yes, millions, of years before they occurred:

1 Man’s disobedience and fall.

God placed man in the Garden of Eden with certain restrictions. Genesis 2:17: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. The slithering serpent came along and said in Genesis 3:4, Ye shall not surely die. Instead of listening to Jehovah God, Adam and Eve listened to the devil.

Say, all of us are so much like them. We certainly are chips off the old block. Genesis 3:6 states, And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. This wicked, disobedient act against the Lord God Almighty brought judgment upon the entire human race. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one [Christ] shall many be made righteous (Romans 5:19).

Not only did God foreknow the fall of man, but:

2 The Trinity foreordained the temporary sacrifice.

I imagine the conversation in the heavenlies went as follows: “Because man will yield to temptation and fall, there will need to be a sacrifice offered. Since sinful flesh is responsible and since the life of the flesh is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11),

the purpose o f t h e incarnation

This study given to me by the Holy Spirit years ago is the most important message ever concerning Christ’s blood atonement planned by the Trinity before the foundation of the world— Revelation 13:8.

“The One who goes and takes upon Himself that body must have a special birth, because all humans born through natural generation or through the regular channels of birth inherit the old wicked sinful nature of Adam. Therefore, the One chosen will have to have a special birth in the womb of a virgin. The very body will be created and placed in that womb. By this special act of creation — detouring the normal means of reproduction through intercourse — the Savior will be born into the world. When His blood, holy and pure, is shed, it will take away sin.”

The eternal truthDoes this conversation of the Trinity in ages past seem farfetched to you? Are you wondering if this entire plan presented is really in the Bible? Listen to Revelation 13:8: [Christ was] the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. When? In God’s mind it was planned at the time of the foundation of the world. That’s right, even before Adam and Eve were created. Christ’s shedding of His blood did not take Him by surprise nearly 2,000 years ago. Rather, it was part of the plan He had helped initiate before the world was formed. That’s why Acts 2:23 states, Him [Christ] being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands

have crucified and slain. In other words, the wicked only did to Christ what the foreknowledge of God had planned.

Did it happen? Yes. God came into the world in human flesh to take a body that contained blood. It was special blood that did not have the taint of Adam’s sin integrated into it by Christ’s having a human father. Instead, the Father and the Holy Spirit placed this created miracle into the womb of the virgin without an act of intercourse or human insemination so that pure blood might course through the Redeemer’s veins. Then He shed that blood at Calvary to take away sin that had only been covered by animal sacrifices.

The proof of these truths is in the following scripture — Hebrews 10:4: For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Notice, animal blood could not take away sins. The Old Testament word atonement means “to cover” — only “to cover.” The priest offering the animal blood would say, “I know that this blood only covers the sinner’s sin until Your sacrificial Lamb comes, dear God.”

Who was God’s Lamb? Hebrews 10:5: Wherefore [because animal blood could not take away sin] when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest

not, but a body hast thou prepared me. That body was prepared in the womb by God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:35: And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

When John the Baptist saw Christ upon the earth, he said in John 1:29, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Praise God, this was the Lamb sent from heaven who could take away that which was only temporarily covered through the blood of animals. On the cross, Christ cried out, “It is finished.” He was not speaking about His life, but about the plan that had been foreordained before the foundation of the world. Am I certain of this? Yes. [We have been] redeemed … with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world (1 Peter 1:18-20).

Imagine, this precious blood shed for your sins was planned for you before the world was formed. Seven hundred times the blood is mentioned as the only — THE ONLY — way of salvation. Believe it and receive the Christ who shed His pure blood for your transgressions.

the decree is established in the counsels of eternity that the shedding of blood, which typifies DEATH to the flesh, will be the eternal sacrifice offered. It is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul (Leviticus 17:11). Animal blood will be temporarily offered until one of us goes to present the permanent sacrifice.” Let’s investigate the facts and see if God’s program was instituted.

After Adam and Eve sinned, they knew that they were naked (see Genesis 3:7). The pangs of a guilt-ridden conscience over sin were being experienced. They wanted

to cover their bodies and did so by making fig leaf aprons. However, fig leaves that would shrivel up and die in a few days could not satisfactorily handle the situation. Also, dry fig leaves were bloodless and could not make atonement for the soul. So God, in the cool of the day, visited this couple and covered them adequately — physically and spiritually. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them (Genesis 3:21). The skins of animals adequately covered them physically and spiritually. Why? In providing the skins, the blood of the animals was shed.

We see the same story unfolded in Genesis 4 concerning Cain and Abel. Their parents, Adam and Eve, had taught them this soul-saving

story about the animal skins. Now when the boys were of age and wanted to bring a sacrifice to God, Cain presented an offering of fruit and Abel of animals. Genesis 4:3-5: And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. If you should think that I am stretching the point by stating dogmatically that Cain’s offering was rejected because

it was devoid of blood, I invite you to confirm this truth in your heart by studying Hebrews 11:4, which emphatically presents the teaching just considered. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent [more acceptable] sacrifice than Cain.

Notice they brought their offerings as a sacrifice. God had decreed that blood alone could make atonement for the soul. Abel, by faith, brought an animal. Notice why he did it. It was by faith. Romans 10:17 says, So then faith cometh by hearing. If he brought it by faith and faith comes by hearing, it is only a logical conclusion to say that he heard the story from the lips of his parents, accepted it, and practiced the shedding of blood because he believed God. Cain, the first liberal or

modernist, said, “It’s all bunk. I will offer my fruit which contains no blood, and God will have to be satisfied.” But God said, “Cain, I reject your bloodless sacrifice.”

Many have rejected the only method of salvation God has given the world — the shedding or sacrifice of blood for the remission of sins. Self-righteous efforts, good works, prayers, creeds, and religious observances are but offerings of fruit. The Sermon on the Mount, the Golden Rule, and the observance of the Ten Commandments are but the waving of fig leaves in the face of Almighty God. Many of these things are good to practice because one is a Christian, but any method of trying to enter into eternal life that avoids or bypasses the blood will only result in eternal separation from the God who made the decree. It is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul (Leviticus 17:11). Now, let’s go one step farther.

3 The Trinity foreordained the permanent eternal sacrifice.

Again we hear the three members of the Godhead speaking in eternity past: “Animal blood will be only a temporary solution because it cannot take away sin, only cover it. Man’s blood is tainted through Adam’s sin. Therefore only one option or course of action is possible. One of the three of us will have to go to earth and take flesh as a covering. This will be necessary because flesh contains the blood of the body. The One who is chosen to go will have to shed that blood to take away the sins of the human race which animal blood only covered.

“…he said in John 1:29,

Behold the Lamb of God,

which taketh away the sin

of the world.”

…shed for your sins was planned for you before the

world was formed.”

Imagine, this precious blood…

“The One who goes and takes upon Himself that body must have a special birth, because all humans born through natural generation or through the regular channels of birth inherit the old wicked sinful nature of Adam. Therefore, the One chosen will have to have a special birth in the womb of a virgin. The very body will be created and placed in that womb. By this special act of creation — detouring the normal means of reproduction through intercourse — the Savior will be born into the world. When His blood, holy and pure, is shed, it will take away sin.”

The eternal truthDoes this conversation of the Trinity in ages past seem farfetched to you? Are you wondering if this entire plan presented is really in the Bible? Listen to Revelation 13:8: [Christ was] the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. When? In God’s mind it was planned at the time of the foundation of the world. That’s right, even before Adam and Eve were created. Christ’s shedding of His blood did not take Him by surprise nearly 2,000 years ago. Rather, it was part of the plan He had helped initiate before the world was formed. That’s why Acts 2:23 states, Him [Christ] being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands

have crucified and slain. In other words, the wicked only did to Christ what the foreknowledge of God had planned.

Did it happen? Yes. God came into the world in human flesh to take a body that contained blood. It was special blood that did not have the taint of Adam’s sin integrated into it by Christ’s having a human father. Instead, the Father and the Holy Spirit placed this created miracle into the womb of the virgin without an act of intercourse or human insemination so that pure blood might course through the Redeemer’s veins. Then He shed that blood at Calvary to take away sin that had only been covered by animal sacrifices.

The proof of these truths is in the following scripture — Hebrews 10:4: For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Notice, animal blood could not take away sins. The Old Testament word atonement means “to cover” — only “to cover.” The priest offering the animal blood would say, “I know that this blood only covers the sinner’s sin until Your sacrificial Lamb comes, dear God.”

Who was God’s Lamb? Hebrews 10:5: Wherefore [because animal blood could not take away sin] when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest

not, but a body hast thou prepared me. That body was prepared in the womb by God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:35: And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

When John the Baptist saw Christ upon the earth, he said in John 1:29, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Praise God, this was the Lamb sent from heaven who could take away that which was only temporarily covered through the blood of animals. On the cross, Christ cried out, “It is finished.” He was not speaking about His life, but about the plan that had been foreordained before the foundation of the world. Am I certain of this? Yes. [We have been] redeemed … with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world (1 Peter 1:18-20).

Imagine, this precious blood shed for your sins was planned for you before the world was formed. Seven hundred times the blood is mentioned as the only — THE ONLY — way of salvation. Believe it and receive the Christ who shed His pure blood for your transgressions.

the decree is established in the counsels of eternity that the shedding of blood, which typifies DEATH to the flesh, will be the eternal sacrifice offered. It is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul (Leviticus 17:11). Animal blood will be temporarily offered until one of us goes to present the permanent sacrifice.” Let’s investigate the facts and see if God’s program was instituted.

After Adam and Eve sinned, they knew that they were naked (see Genesis 3:7). The pangs of a guilt-ridden conscience over sin were being experienced. They wanted

to cover their bodies and did so by making fig leaf aprons. However, fig leaves that would shrivel up and die in a few days could not satisfactorily handle the situation. Also, dry fig leaves were bloodless and could not make atonement for the soul. So God, in the cool of the day, visited this couple and covered them adequately — physically and spiritually. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them (Genesis 3:21). The skins of animals adequately covered them physically and spiritually. Why? In providing the skins, the blood of the animals was shed.

We see the same story unfolded in Genesis 4 concerning Cain and Abel. Their parents, Adam and Eve, had taught them this soul-saving

story about the animal skins. Now when the boys were of age and wanted to bring a sacrifice to God, Cain presented an offering of fruit and Abel of animals. Genesis 4:3-5: And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. If you should think that I am stretching the point by stating dogmatically that Cain’s offering was rejected because

it was devoid of blood, I invite you to confirm this truth in your heart by studying Hebrews 11:4, which emphatically presents the teaching just considered. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent [more acceptable] sacrifice than Cain.

VER THE CENTuRIES, many great artists have

tried to imagine and depict what

Jesus looked like during His life on earth. Master painters like Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Durer, and Michelangelo devoted their lives and focused their genius upon portraying the Master. Churches and museums in many countries display wonderful works by innumerable artists.

Many have painted the baby Jesus with His mother on a manger bed, surrounded by His parents, the stable animals, and those who came to celebrate His birth by worshipping Him. Others have depicted Him in the Temple at age 12, puzzling the learned scholars with His knowledge about God and His spiritual wisdom.

Perhaps you have a favorite work of art, illustrating some dramatic scene from the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ life

and ministry — loving the children, feeding the multitudes, healing the sick, teaching His disciples. So many have tried to capture a glimpse of Jesus. Some of these portraits are master- pieces … some much more modest.

I’ve been moved and blessed by these pictures — especially those showing Christ travailing in the Garden of Gethsemane, enduring the tortures of His trial, and weeping for the world

from the cross of Calvary. And how I’ve rejoiced while looking at paintings of the resurrected Savior and His Transfiguration.

Thank God for all the artists and their pictures of the Lord. I appreciate them. But even when I’ve gazed

in awe at Michelangelo’s monumental paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, or marveled at da Vinci’s famous master-piece “The Last Supper,” something inside me wanted more. How I longed to see Jesus for myself.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to go back in time and visualize the scene of Jesus’ birth. Only Joseph and Mary were there when He came — the rest of the world was asleep. As Mary held him and looked into His face for the first time, I wonder if she realized that she was touching the Eternal God, the Second member of the Trinity? There must have been something special about the way He looked, but I can’t even imagine it — it boggles my mind!

Have you seen what I’ve seen?Then the shepherds came — running, out of breath, beside themselves with joy and excitement — to find the baby the angels had told them about … to actually see the Savior who is Christ the Lord! When they saw Him, they bowed in His presence and worshipped the newborn King. When they had seen Him, we’re told, the shepherds hurried out to tell everybody the glorious news. I can see them rushing up to everybody they met to blurt out, “Have you seen Him? Angels told us about the new baby in the stable. His name is Jesus … and He is Christ the Lord!”

Jesus came to be seenFrom then on, it seems, everybody wanted to see Him. An ancient Temple priest named Simeon refused to die until he had seen the Christ. When Mary and Joseph placed their child into his arms to be consecrated according to Jewish law, the old man looked into the face of Jesus, then cried out, “Lord, now dismiss your servant in peace, for mine eyes have seen Your salvation!” (Luke 2:25-32).

Later, wise men from the East came, bringing royal gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Following a bright star in the heavens, they had made a very long journey to see the One born to be earth’s new King.

And I’ve already mentioned Jesus going to the Temple on His Father’s business when He was just 12 years old, confounding the Pharisees with His knowledge of the Scriptures. I wonder what He looked like to them?

The Gospels are full of examples of people coming to see Jesus. Jesus came to be seen — to reveal Himself to the world and to show mankind the image of God the Father. He that hath seen me, He declared, hath seen the Father (John 14:9).

The people of that day saw Jesus. They saw Him being moved with compassion for the needs of the multitude. They saw Him touching lives and meeting needs. They saw Him teaching great throngs of people, performing miracles of healing, feeding thousands. Some saw Him walking on the water, speaking peace to the wind and the waves. They saw Him sacrificing Himself on the cross of Calvary to save all mankind. They saw Him rise up from the grave with resurrection power.

Again and again, they asked one another, “Have you seen Him?”

Jesus came to be heardNot only did the people of the Holy Land see Jesus, they heard Him too.

He had something to say that they needed and wanted to hear — a message of love and reconciliation, a message of hope. They recognized that He spoke with authority and that there was power and life in His words.

Even as a young boy of 12, He challenged and confounded the scoffing scholars and rigid religionists in the Temple with His words. Yet, during His earthly ministry, He communicated clearly with the unlearned multitudes, speaking to them in parables they could grasp and understand.

To the sick and suffering, He spoke words of healing and recovery. To the grieving, He spoke words of comfort and peace. To the guilty, He spoke words of forgiveness and a new beginning. To those who were lost, hopeless, and in despair, He declared, I am the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).

His voice was heard by the young and the old, the rich and the poor, the privileged and the outcast, those inspired by faith and those filled with doubt. And I believe that all who heard Him then must have realized that their destiny would be deter-mined by their response to His voice.

Listen! Have you heard Him? Do you hear what I hear? Beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of life!

Jesus invited people to speak to HimNot only did Jesus come to be seen and to be heard, He welcomed people to come and talk to Him, person to person, face to face. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest, He declared.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls (Matthew 11:28-29).

I believe He listened with delight to the whispered secrets of little children who clambered into His lap. Mothers and fathers came to Him to seek help for their suffering sons and daughters. He always had time for them.

His disciples asked Him many questions about life and living, about their calling and purpose, about what was to happen to them and the world in the future. Multitudes flocked around, eager to ask Him to explain the kingdom of God. Every time they came, He opened His heart and poured out His soul until their hearts were so full of understanding that they cried out, “I see, I see!”

They saw Him. They heard Him. And He listened to them. What a Savior, what a Friend!

What about us?I rejoice with Mary and the shepherds who saw with their own eyes Christ Jesus the Lord! But are we who live today excluded from the awe that Mary felt when she looked into the face of her newborn child and realized that He was the God-man? Must we miss out on the joy of the shepherds who were directed by angels to a stable in Bethlehem to welcome — and worship — the Son of God?

Absolutely not!We can see Jesus as clearly as

they saw Him. I can. You can. In my personal experience, when I cried out in passionate desperation to see Jesus, He came and opened my eyes so I could see Him! And in that glorious revelation, I found Him to be so much more than I had imagined or even hoped that He would be.

I saw Him as my Savior, my Sin-bearer, my Joy, and my

Strength. I saw Him as my Light and my Love, the Breath of my life and the indwelling Presence in whom I live and move and have my being!

Since that day, I’ve been like the shepherds scurrying through the streets of Bethlehem, witnessing to everyone they met. Now I ask people everywhere I go, “Have you seen Him? Have you really seen Jesus? Please let me show you where to find Him.”

Not only can we see Him, but we can hear Him too. unlike the folks on the far edge of the crowd who had to strain to hear the physical voice of Jesus, we can hear from the Lord any time, all the time. This is really important because we live in an information age where there is a constant clamor of voices trying to get our attention. It’s easy to get confused in the tumult.

But we can always tune in to the voice of Jesus through prayer. It has been said that He speaks in a “still, small voice.” I don’t know how to describe it, but His voice is unmistakable, and I know it when I hear it!

The Lord also speaks to us through His Word, the Holy Bible. Whenever I need comfort, assurance, direction, or help, I turn to the Scriptures. Time and time again, as

I read and listen with my heart, His Word speaks to me with just the help and the answers I need. I can’t explain it — I only know it works.

So we can see Jesus today, and we can hear His voice. We can also know that He hears us when we come into His presence. What a joy to be able to talk to Jesus as one friend talks to another. We can speak to Him at any moment.

I don’t have to be in church. I don’t have to be on my knees, or in any other position. I don’t have to use any special phrases or “holy” words. I don’t have to have an appointment. He is always

with me, always interested, always understanding, and always ready to help.

(I could write a whole article on this point alone! If you need a little more encouragement about talking to Jesus in

prayer, read some of my favorite verses — Matthew 7:7-8; 28:20; Jeremiah 33:3; Romans 12:12; Ephesians 6:18; Colossians 4:2; I Thessalonians 5:17).

The Gospels tell us that wherever Jesus went during His earthly ministry, great crowds gathered around Him. When people in need heard that He was passing by, they went running to find Him. People brought the sick to Him. Lepers came to seek deliverance. The blind and the lame sought His healing touch.

When He began teaching down by the sea, people ran to get near Him. When He sat down on the mountainside, a crowd of more than 5,000 ran after Him to hear His words. They ran to see Him, to hear His voice, to feel His touch.

Seek Him nowIf you and I had lived back then, no doubt we would have been running

too. We would have joined all the other people who wanted to get close to Jesus.

But if we would have run to Him back then, why aren’t we doing it now? Why aren’t we seeking Him, looking to Him, listening to Him, talking to Him? Why do we forget to read the Bible, skip our devotional prayer time, and perhaps forsake the assembling of ourselves with other believers in worship too often?

In the words of the old spiritual, “If we ever needed the Lord before, we sure do need Him now … we need Him every day and every hour.” Perhaps you feel that you are not as close to Jesus as you once were. Then I would implore you to draw near to Him.

Run to Him! Run to His voice! Run to His touch!

The beloved Apostle John wrote, That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ (1 John 1:3).

During this holiday season, no doubt you’ll be seeing Christmas decorations and greeting cards that will remind you of the birth of Jesus in a Bethlehem stable. Each time you see a manger scene, let it be a reminder to ask yourself, “Have I seen Him today? Have I heard His voice?”

Then find someone you can speak to and ask — “Have you seen Him?”

“Thank you for loving us, and for being like Jesus.”

What about us?I rejoice with Mary and the shepherds who saw with their own eyes Christ Jesus the Lord! But are we who live today excluded from the awe that Mary felt when she looked into the face of her newborn child and realized that He was the God-man? Must we miss out on the joy of the shepherds who were directed by angels to a stable in Bethlehem to welcome — and worship — the Son of God?

Absolutely not!We can see Jesus as clearly as

they saw Him. I can. You can. In my personal experience, when I cried out in passionate desperation to see Jesus, He came and opened my eyes so I could see Him! And in that glorious revelation, I found Him to be so much more than I had imagined or even hoped that He would be.

I saw Him as my Savior, my Sin-bearer, my Joy, and my

Strength. I saw Him as my Light and my Love, the Breath of my life and the indwelling Presence in whom I live and move and have my being!

Since that day, I’ve been like the shepherds scurrying through the streets of Bethlehem, witnessing to everyone they met. Now I ask people everywhere I go, “Have you seen Him? Have you really seen Jesus? Please let me show you where to find Him.”

Not only can we see Him, but we can hear Him too. unlike the folks on the far edge of the crowd who had to strain to hear the physical voice of Jesus, we can hear from the Lord any time, all the time. This is really important because we live in an information age where there is a constant clamor of voices trying to get our attention. It’s easy to get confused in the tumult.

But we can always tune in to the voice of Jesus through prayer. It has been said that He speaks in a “still, small voice.” I don’t know how to describe it, but His voice is unmistakable, and I know it when I hear it!

The Lord also speaks to us through His Word, the Holy Bible. Whenever I need comfort, assurance, direction, or help, I turn to the Scriptures. Time and time again, as

I read and listen with my heart, His Word speaks to me with just the help and the answers I need. I can’t explain it — I only know it works.

So we can see Jesus today, and we can hear His voice. We can also know that He hears us when we come into His presence. What a joy to be able to talk to Jesus as one friend talks to another. We can speak to Him at any moment.

I don’t have to be in church. I don’t have to be on my knees, or in any other position. I don’t have to use any special phrases or “holy” words. I don’t have to have an appointment. He is always

with me, always interested, always understanding, and always ready to help.

(I could write a whole article on this point alone! If you need a little more encouragement about talking to Jesus in

prayer, read some of my favorite verses — Matthew 7:7-8; 28:20; Jeremiah 33:3; Romans 12:12; Ephesians 6:18; Colossians 4:2; I Thessalonians 5:17).

The Gospels tell us that wherever Jesus went during His earthly ministry, great crowds gathered around Him. When people in need heard that He was passing by, they went running to find Him. People brought the sick to Him. Lepers came to seek deliverance. The blind and the lame sought His healing touch.

When He began teaching down by the sea, people ran to get near Him. When He sat down on the mountainside, a crowd of more than 5,000 ran after Him to hear His words. They ran to see Him, to hear His voice, to feel His touch.

Seek Him nowIf you and I had lived back then, no doubt we would have been running

too. We would have joined all the other people who wanted to get close to Jesus.

But if we would have run to Him back then, why aren’t we doing it now? Why aren’t we seeking Him, looking to Him, listening to Him, talking to Him? Why do we forget to read the Bible, skip our devotional prayer time, and perhaps forsake the assembling of ourselves with other believers in worship too often?

In the words of the old spiritual, “If we ever needed the Lord before, we sure do need Him now … we need Him every day and every hour.” Perhaps you feel that you are not as close to Jesus as you once were. Then I would implore you to draw near to Him.

Run to Him! Run to His voice! Run to His touch!

The beloved Apostle John wrote, That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ (1 John 1:3).

During this holiday season, no doubt you’ll be seeing Christmas decorations and greeting cards that will remind you of the birth of Jesus in a Bethlehem stable. Each time you see a manger scene, let it be a reminder to ask yourself, “Have I seen Him today? Have I heard His voice?”

Then find someone you can speak to and ask — “Have you seen Him?”

“Thank you for loving us, and for being like Jesus.”

My husband and I have been blessed by your ministry for many, many years, including the years preceding our Christian walk. Your weekly presentations of current world events related to biblical Scripture/prophecy intrigued us, and drew us in to hear more. We especially appreciated the simple format of your program — no fanfare or gimmicks, just the truth according to God’s Word.

So over the years, God’s truth, as spoken through you, began to shine light into our lives. There were periods we stopped watching your program, but whenever we struggled to navigate life’s unexpected twists and turns on our own, we found ourselves back in front of the television on Sunday mornings, seeking answers from a trustworthy source — our dear Dr. Jack Van Impe.

It was always so comforting to hear you talk about the life-saving hope that we have as believers in Christ and also to hear about the upcoming Rapture and His glorious

return. At times when things became especially dark for me, I could rest knowing that my eternal future was secure and bright. It was your program that planted that seed of eternal hope in my weary soul.

As I continued to listen to scriptural truth and to trust in the Lord, my days here on earth eventually became brighter as well. So, I thank you, Dr. Van Impe, and Rexella, for the way you illuminate the Scriptures each week, for your biblical teaching, and for your spiritual encouragement. Over two decades later, watching your program on Sundays is still on the top of our priority list.

Thank you for your years of dedication and service to God. We are looking forward to meeting you in heaven one day. May God continue to bless your faithful ministry. D.B.

I want you to know that one of your DVDs was very influential in winning two people to Christ in a home Bible study I started. J.B.

Thank you for being there for me through my darkest hour. I am clean from an eight-year addiction. Jack’s messages are powerful, and I believe God intervened in my life.

As you know and discussed on your program, being on late at night, you are bringing your message to people who are morally challenged, drug addicts, etc. … those most in need.

THANK YOu for getting me through the dark days. I love you both. S.B.

Words would fail me to tell you both how very, very much I love you. You are my earthly heroes.

It is such a joy to watch you on Jack Van Impe

Presents. I simply cannot thank you enough for the Intelligence Briefing either. It is a masterpiece.

We both were born in February, so we are connected for life (smile).

May God bless every breath you take and every step you make. God’s continued rich blessings be yours now and always. Lots and lots of love. C.R.

I was watching your program and prayed with you to accept the Lord as my Savior at age 32. I just wanted to let you know, and thank you, as I was reminded yesterday that I have been born-again now for 20 years. I never did write you, but

did receive many of your materials after that experience, and they always encouraged me to continue in the faith. Thank you again for your faithfulness

to the call on your life. B.S.

Thank you for holding firm to the unadulterated Gospel, in spite of the various and many threats you are facing every day. L.H.

I was a Catholic most of my life. Your new book, The Final Three Popes Signal Christ’s Return, is excellent! Thank you for being courageous in this dangerous world. M.A.

Because of your ministry, two of our friends have to come to know the Lord. We love to watch you and Rexella every week. What a blessing to us you are! Looking forward to hearing those sweet words “Come up hither.” B.W.

Years ago, my young son said, “Mom, there is this program you might like to watch.” I have been connected ever since. C.W.

I can’t believe we are watching history and prophecy happening every day. Thank you for keeping us grounded. I.S.

As with so many viewers, your program, letters, emails, and printed materials have had a life-changing effect on me. I’m glad that I discovered you and Rexella and your Christ-saving message before the Rapture. J.C.

I want to personally thank you for your teaching, Dr. Van Impe, in a recent online newsletter.

The Holy Spirit has been working overtime the last year and a half, softening my heart. There was so much I did not understand and the words you preached in that newsletter pierced my very soul.

Caught in a quicksand of sin and

only getting deeper, you plucked me out. At first I was devastated, feeling as though I had been thrown out of the very presence of the Lord. The fear of hell was very real. I spent many sleepless nights, shed thousands of tears, and regretted the sinful behavior that separated me from the people I loved and admired most of my life. But most of all, I feared eternal separation from God Himself.

A very wise woman once told me that God does not wink at sin. She was right. God loves us enough to punish and chastise us because He wants the very best from us.

I am forever grateful that you pulled me out of the muck and mire that had me imprisoned.

Onward and upward! R.W.

I thank God for bringing us to Himself through you. My wife is with the Lord now, since April 6, 2004. All these years later I am still watching your program. Waiting for the return of Jesus very soon. P.M.

Thank you for your diligent work for the Lord. For years I have watched you and Rexella and learned so much. I am disabled and unable to go to church. I have learned through you how to choose the ministers and programs that I

watch on Sundays and through the week.

How wonderful it will be when in heaven I can run up to you both (without pain as well) and thank you both in person! Keep up the good fight, and remember you have so many people taking you before the throne each day. L.M.

I support your ministry because I admire your intellect — I know it is a gift from God. Your quoting from memory never ceases to amaze me. However, what I admire most is that there is no fence-straddling with you.

Keep on telling it like it is. T.C.

I can’t begin to describe the blessings I receive from you and Rexella and your wonderful ministry. Your weekly program, your videos, books, and devotionals, are all priceless to me. Keep up the great work, for so many need to hear the pure Gospel of our Lord Jesus. W.S.

U.S. EYES ISLAMIC STATE THREAT

August 27, 2014 — Voice of America News reports: “As the u.S. begins surveillance flights over Syria to track Sunni extremists who claim responsibility for beheading American journalist James Foley, there are mixed messages coming out of Washington over whether the Islamic State (IS) could attack u.S. soil.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel called IS, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), an ‘imminent threat.’ Republican Senator Lindsey Graham warned that the group is willing and able to ‘hit the homeland.’ But are these threats overstated? And what should be done to thwart them?

‘Increasingly, I have seen stronger relations between the al-Qaida affiliate al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) with ISIS,’ said Max Abrahms, assistant professor of public policy and terrorist expert at Northeastern university.

AQAP may be a smaller group, he says, but they are much better at making bombs.

‘AQAP have tried to bomb us numerous times, so the biggest fear, I think, is that ISIS is going to be influenced by a group like AQAP and then strike the West,’ he said.

Nada Bakos, a former CIA analyst and targeting officer in Iraq who helped track down former al-Qaida leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, points to the large numbers of Westerners who have joined IS ranks — and the large amount of territory IS controls....” (II Timothy 3:1 is being fulfilled and is bound to become one of the world’s most dangerous hours in civilization’s history. Jesus predicted this tragic time in Matthew 24:21-22: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.)

CANADIAN REPORT REVEALS JIHADISTS

ARE RETURNINGSeptember 2,

2014 — Israel National News

reports: “The Canadian Ministry of Public Safety last Friday released its

2014 Public Report on the Terrorist Threat to Canada, in which it detailed the troubling phenomenon of Canadians traveling to the Middle East to join in jihad — and later return to potentially conduct attacks.

‘As of early 2014, the Government was aware of more than 130 individuals with Canadian connections who were abroad and who were suspected of terrorism-related activities,’ noted the report.

The activities of those Canadians included ‘training, fundraising, promoting radical views and even planning terrorist violence.’

While some of the terrorist Canadians remained abroad or died in battle, the report added that ‘about 80 individuals … have returned to Canada after travel abroad for a variety of suspected terrorism-related purposes.’

Many of the returning jihadists had ‘engaged in paramilitary activities. Others may have studied in extremist schools, raised money or otherwise supported terrorist groups.’

Syria has been a major pull for foreign jihadists, with the report

OBAMA SILENT ON CRISIS THREATENING 200,000

September 3, 2014 — WND.com reports: “A looming humanitarian crisis that is threatening the lives of 200,000 or more is being ignored by the united States, according to activists who are working to save the thousands of Christians facing potential

extermination at the hands of ISIS terrorists.

‘The u.S. has done virtually nothing to allow Christians to flee into the u.S., but they allow many Muslims to come to the u.S.,’ said former terrorist Walid Shoebat. ‘If the u.S. wants to survive and prevent what we see in the united Kingdom, we need to bring [Christian] brethren to the homeland, the land of the brave and the free, the home for the persecuted.’

Shoebat, who describes himself as a ‘radicalized Muslim willing to die for the cause of jihad’

and member of the PLO until he converted to Christianity in 1994, was making the comments in light of a newly announced effort by RescueChristians.com to rescue tens of thousands of Christians who fled to Iraq’s Kurdish territory when an ISIS army of jihadists took over vast regions of the troubled nation.

Experts predict the Kurds will not be able to stop the advance of

ISIS, which has grown to an army estimated at more than 10,000 soldiers, and the Christians could face extermination.

Shoebat told WND that the Christian community in Iraq, where

the language once was the Aramaic spoken by Jesus, has been virtually obliterated....” (Our wonderful Lord and Savior warns us why we will be persecuted if we honor Him in our daily walk and life: If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because

ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also” — John 15:18-20. See also Galatians 6:12,14.)
