×In their darkest hour, the LORD illuminated the future regathering & regeneration of Israel to the Promised Land using two figures: A valley of dry bones & two sticks. Ezekiel 36-37 Pastor Gene Pensiero Series: Cry Me A River (Ezekiel) Find the rest of this series at https://calvaryhanford.com/crymeariver Find audio, video, and text of hundreds of other studies at https://calvaryhanford.com/ Subscribe to our YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/calvaryhanford Find us on SubStack at https://calvaryhanford.substack.com — Join us for “Sticks & Bones, He’ll Lead Us Home, God’s Word Will Never Hurt Me” in our ongoing Bible study series through the book of Ezekiel. In Ezekiel 36 and 37, we humbly unpack amazing prophecies concerning the restoration of Israel, offering timeless lessons for Christians and those exploring their spirituality today. This Christian sermon explores the desolate state of Israel’s land during their Babylonian exile, a time when the Promised Land became uninhabitable due to their disobedience. We’ll examine Ezekiel’s prophecy to the “mountains of Israel” (Ezekiel 36:1), revealing God’s unwavering commitment to His covenant with Abraham and His promise to restore His people to their ancient homeland. Discover how this biblical prophecy speaks to the enduring significance of the land of Israel and refutes common misunderstandings. We delve into the physical regathering of the Jewish people, a remarkable historical event that aligns with Ezekiel’s words (Ezekiel 36:24). From the Zionist movement to the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, we explore the miraculous fulfillment of these ancient scriptures. This Bible prophecy update highlights how God, for His holy name’s sake, has brought His people back from all nations, transforming a desolate land into a fruitful one. The study continues into Ezekiel 37, where we encounter two vivid illustrations of God’s plan for Israel’s future. First, the vision of the valley of dry bones (Ezekiel 37:1-14) powerfully symbolizes the national and spiritual revival of Israel. We discuss how these dry bones coming to life represent both the physical restoration of the nation and a future spiritual awakening, where God will give them a new heart and His Spirit. This Bible study emphasizes that Israel’s physical return has occurred, and we look forward to the promised spiritual indwelling. Second, the prophecy of the two sticks (Ezekiel 37:15-22) beautifully illustrates the future reunification of the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah under one king, David (Ezekiel 37:24-25). This end-times prophecy points to a time when Israel will no longer be divided but will dwell securely in their land with God’s sanctuary among them forevermore. Whether you are studying the Bible, interested in Bible prophecy, or seeking Christian insights, this sermon offers encouragement from God’s promises for Israel’s future, which can also provide hope for our present. We aim to humbly share the truth of God’s Word, showing how He is truly “the lifter of my head” (Psalm 3:3), ready to gently guide us home.

What would you do if you got a blackmail call from an AI chatbot? One engineer faced that very issue. AI is capable of much more than many people think. Could it be used in fulfillment of the Bible’s prophecy of the Image of the Beast during the Great Tribulation? Pastor Gene Pensiero Find audio, video, and text of hundreds of other prophecy updates at: https://calvaryhanford.com/prophecy Read along with us at https://calvaryhanford.substack.com Follow us on YouTube at https://youtube.com/calvaryhanford — Welcome to Prophecy Updates #826 – Beast Blackmail. In this installment of our ongoing Bible prophecy series, we humbly explore current events and global trends through the lens of biblical prophecy. Our goal is to connect the dots between what’s happening in the world today and what the Bible foretells about the end times. This Bible study delves into one of the most talked-about Bible prophecies: the Mark of the Beast. We’ll examine what the Bible says about this significant end-times event, including the global requirement for a mark to conduct business and the chilling demand for worship of the Antichrist. The Scriptures describe an image of the beast that speaks and even thinks, and we consider how recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) might align with these ancient prophecies. We discuss disturbing new traits reported in advanced AI models, including deception, scheming, and even threats, as highlighted by expert warnings. Could AI’s capacity for “hallucination”—generating false information as fact—also play a role in fulfilling these prophecies? This Christian sermon explores these fascinating intersections. We also touch upon the imminent resurrection and rapture of the church. We believe the rapture could happen at any moment, with no prerequisite events needing to occur before it. Consider how major end-times prophecies, such as the regathering of Israel, the rise of global government, a global cashless economy, and the preparations for rebuilding a Jewish Temple, are all clearly unfolding in our modern culture. The Great Tribulation is a coming event, specifically designed for Israel’s salvation at Jesus’ Second Coming, not for the church. This Bible prophecy update explains why our understanding of Scripture leads us to believe Jesus will remove the church before this period. Are you ready for the Rapture? This sermon encourages preparation, steadfastness, and looking up. Jesus is coming soon! Join us for this important Bible study as we seek to understand God’s Word in these critical times. Keywords: Bible prophecy, end times, Mark of the Beast, Artificial Intelligence, AI, Antichrist, Great Tribulation, Rapture, Second Coming of Jesus, Daniel, Revelation, Bible study, Christian sermon, Calvary Chapel, current events, global trends, cashless economy, Jewish Temple, Israel, prophecy updates, Christian living, biblical understanding.…

In this Bible study from 1 Kings 19:1-18, we humbly examine the surprising flight of the prophet Elijah into the wilderness after Jezebel’s threat. This passage, found in the Old Testament, offers valuable lessons for Christian living and navigating moments of discouragement, fear, and doubt in our faith journey. Elijah’s story is relatable for many of us seeking to study the Bible and grow in our Christianity. Though he experienced incredible displays of God’s power, this chapter reveals a human side, struggling with intense emotional and spiritual battles. We’ll explore how Elijah’s focus shifted from God’s faithfulness to his own predictions of doom, leading him to abandon his post and isolate himself. This sermon delves into the dangers of allowing our emotions to dictate our decisions, especially when faced with perceived threats or overwhelming circumstances. We’ll consider the temptation to “cut and run” from God’s plan and how the Lord gently pursues us even when we wander. Learn how God met Elijah in the wilderness, providing sustenance and a still, small voice, reminding him of His constant presence and unwavering purpose. For those interested in Elijah’s life and his powerful encounters with God, this study sheds light on a pivotal moment of vulnerability and God’s enduring grace. We’ll discuss how trusting God’s provision and direction, even when our feelings contradict it, is crucial for spiritual health. Discover how embracing God’s truth can help us avoid spiritual “crashes” and continue to walk in His will. This teaching is suitable for anyone seeking to deepen their faith, understand the realities of christian living, and find encouragement in the face of life’s challenges. If you are part of a church community or searching for Calvary Chapel insights, we invite you to join us as we learn from Elijah’s experiences and apply these timeless biblical truths to our own lives. May we always choose to cling to God, even in our lowest moments.…

The LORD calls-out the leaders of Judah by describing them as abusive shepherds. Ezekiel 34-35 Pastor Gene Pensiero Series: Cry Me A River (Ezekiel) Find the rest of this series at https://calvaryhanford.com/crymeariver Find audio, video, and text of hundreds of other studies at https://calvaryhanford.com/ Subscribe to our YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/calvaryhanford Find us on SubStack at https://calvaryhanford.substack.com — Join us for an impactful Bible study in “Ezekiel 34-35 – Sheepwrecked,” the latest installment in our ongoing series exploring the book of Ezekiel. This Christian sermon delves into a powerful, yet often overlooked, passage about leadership, care, and divine judgment, offering crucial Bible prophecy updates relevant to end times. In Ezekiel 34, we uncover God’s indictment against the unfaithful shepherds of Israel – leaders who neglected and exploited His flock. This section vividly contrasts their corrupt practices with the sacrificial care of the Good Shepherd. Learn what God requires of those entrusted with spiritual oversight and how these timeless principles apply to all forms of leadership today. Discover how the neglect of the flock led to their scattering, a Bible prophecy fulfilled in the Jewish diaspora and reversed with the restoration of Israel in 1948. This is a vital lesson for anyone interested in Bible teaching on stewardship and spiritual health. We then transition to a detailed look at End Times terminology, providing a clear glossary of key concepts like the Resurrection and Rapture of the Church, the Seven-Year Great Tribulation, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the Millennial Kingdom, and Eternity. This segment is essential for Bible prophecy explained in an accessible way, helping you understand the sequence of future events as outlined in Scripture. Ezekiel 34 also paints a beautiful picture of God’s personal intervention, declaring, “I myself will search and find my sheep.” This foreshadows the Second Coming of Christ and His role as the ultimate Shepherd, gathering His scattered people and administering justice. We’ll explore the judgment between the sheep and the goats, a significant event at the end of the Tribulation that determines entry into the Millennial Kingdom. Chapter 35 then introduces Mount Seir (Edom), a historical enemy of Israel, and God’s judgment against their eternal hatred. This prophecy, already fulfilled, sets the stage for a compelling discussion about a future, critical role for this region. Discover why Petra, located in Mount Seir, is believed by Calvary Chapel and other evangelical dispensationalists to be a significant “bug-out” location for the Jewish remnant during the Great Tribulation, when the Antichrist defiles the Temple. This fascinating connection brings together ancient prophecy and future events, highlighting God’s faithfulness and protective care. Learn what it means to be a “well-fed, well-loved, and protected sheep” in the care of the Good Shepherd, even amidst challenging times.…

Learn why David, a prophet and poet, penned this “Maskil”—an instructional song designed to impart God’s wisdom for life. We’ll examine the stark differences between David’s humility and reliance on God, and Doeg’s pride, treachery, and self-reliance, highlighting the critical choices each of us faces. This Christian sermon reveals how Psalm 52 serves as a “decision track,” challenging viewers to choose between walking in God’s way (leading to life) or their own way (leading to death). We discuss the destructive power of wicked words and evil desires, as exemplified by Doeg, and contrast it with the life-giving words and heart of David, who consistently sought refuge in God.

The destruction of Jerusalem & the Temple mark the end of Ezekiel’s first watch. Ezekiel 33 Pastor Gene Pensiero Series: Cry Me A River (Ezekiel) Find the rest of this series at https://calvaryhanford.com/crymeariver Find audio, video, and text of hundreds of other studies at https://calvaryhanford.com/ Subscribe to our YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/calvaryhanford Find us on SubStack at https://calvaryhanford.substack.com — In this profound Bible study from our ongoing Ezekiel series, titled “Ezekiel 33 – We’ve Got The Watch,” we explore the vital role of the watchman in both ancient Israel and in the Christian life today. Join us as we delve into the Old Testament book of Ezekiel to uncover timeless truths relevant to Bible prophecy and the end times. This sermon will resonate with anyone seeking deeper Bible insights, Christian teachings, and Calvary Chapel perspectives on God’s word. We begin by drawing parallels between the solemn “End of Watch” tradition in law enforcement and Ezekiel’s own “End of Watch-man” experience. Discover how God’s prophet, Ezekiel, delivered challenging prophecies to the exiled Jews in Babylon, warning them of Jerusalem’s impending fall, a message they initially rejected. Using the clear, conversational New Living Translation, we break down Ezekiel 33:1-6, examining the watchman’s responsibility to warn the people and the consequences of their disobedience. Learn why God, not man, chose Ezekiel as a watchman, a crucial lesson for believers today about divine calling versus human ambition. We emphasize that God’s exhortation to Ezekiel was ultimately for the benefit of the Jews, highlighting the personal responsibility of individuals to heed divine warnings. We clarify that the physical consequences described in Ezekiel 33, such as captivity and death, are distinct from the concept of eternal life. As God commissions Ezekiel to a second watch, we explore what it means to be given “more to do” in service to the Lord, encouraging every Christian to seek God’s will for their lives. We then unpack Ezekiel 33:8-9, distinguishing between physical death and eternal salvation, reinforcing that repentance leads to life. We also address the false notion that God condemns individuals for another’s disobedience. Delving into Ezekiel 33:10-11, we confront the people’s self-pity and blame, revealing God’s true desire for sinners to turn from their wicked ways and live. This section offers powerful insight into God’s character and His long-suffering love, echoing 2 Peter 3:9. We engage in a discussion about the meaning of “all” coming to repentance, advocating for the “whosoever will believe” perspective. The video then examines Ezekiel 33:12-16, exposing the futility of relying on past righteousness or superficial worship. We use a compelling analogy of modern legal frameworks to illustrate why God does not overlook sin based on general obedience. These verses paint a picture of restoration and blessing in the land for those who genuinely repent and obey God’s life-giving laws. We discuss the people’s accusation that “The Lord isn’t doing what’s right” (Ezekiel 33:17-20), asserting that it is they who are failing to act righteously. The video powerfully recounts the moment a survivor confirms “The city has fallen” (Ezekiel 33:21-22), marking a pivotal shift and the end of Ezekiel’s period of muteness. Further, we analyze the survivors’ misguided claim to the land based on Abraham’s legacy (Ezekiel 33:24-26), contrasted with God’s stern judgment against their idolatry, murder, and adultery. This leads into the dire consequences prophesied in Ezekiel 33:27-29, where the land’s complete destruction signifies the beginning of “The Time of the Gentiles,” a period that continues to this day until Christ’s return. Finally, we explore the people’s superficial interest in Ezekiel’s messages (Ezekiel 33:30-33), highlighting the danger of hearing God’s word without acting on it. The video concludes with a tender reflection on Ezekiel’s faithfulness and a powerful exhortation for Church Age believers: Are we watchmen today? Learn how we fulfill this role by heeding “one another” verses, exercising spiritual gifts, and eagerly watching for the Lord’s return. This sermon provides ten New Testament encouragements for our watch, emphasizing purification and steadfast hope in Christ’s imminent appearing. Get ready to strengthen your faith and deepen your understanding of God’s sovereign plan!…
Jeremiah’s poetic picture of thriving livestock is a Millennial scene but we can see the stage being set for its fulfillment now. Pastor Gene Pensiero Find audio, video, and text of hundreds of other prophecy updates at: https://calvaryhanford.com/prophecy Read along with us at https://calvaryhanford.substack.com Follow us on YouTube at https://youtube.com/calvaryhanford — In Prophecy Update #824, titled “If You Say Sow,” we delve into critical Bible prophecies unfolding before our eyes. Join us in this Bible study as we connect current global trends with end-times predictions from the Bible. This video is a must-watch for anyone interested in Christianity, Bible prophecy, and Calvary Chapel teachings on the Last Days. Discover how advancements in biometrics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are setting the stage for future prophecy fulfillment, including the biblical descriptions of a global system of commerce and a “mark.” While dramatic events unfold, we also explore less obvious, yet equally significant, prophecies. We examine Jeremiah 31:27, where the LORD speaks of “sowing the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of beast.” This Bible verse signifies a time of population growth, blessing, and restoration for Israel, a Millennial scene that we see being prepared even now. A recent article highlights Israel’s announcement of 22 new communities in Judea and Samaria, a move that directly aligns with this prophecy of “sowing Judea and Israel with the seed of men.” Hear powerful statements from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich emphasizing Israel’s sovereignty and settlement efforts. In response to a global surge in anti-Semitism, there’s a clear message for Jews worldwide to return to the land of Israel. Following the events of October 7, 2023, over 31,000 new immigrants moved to Israel, fulfilling Jeremiah’s ancient prediction of the Jewish return to their Promised Land in the Last Days. We clarify that this prophecy specifically refers to ethnic descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, not a spiritualized interpretation for the Church. Finally, we turn our attention to Revelation 3:10, a foundational scripture for understanding the Church in the Last Days. Jesus promises to “keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world.” We explain why “the hour of trial,” or the Tribulation, is a global event that believers will not endure. This discussion covers the Rapture, the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and the transformation of believers into glorified bodies before this critical period. Are you ready for the Rapture? This video will challenge you to get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up for the imminent return of Jesus Christ. Don’t miss these crucial prophecy updates that will help you understand the times we live in and strengthen your faith. Tune in for deep Bible insights and sermon content relevant to today’s world.…

This in-depth study of Psalm 12 reveals humanity’s urgent need for salvation, not from physical plagues, but from the sin that infects our hearts and mouths. We expose the deceptive nature of lying and flattery and its destructive impact on relationships and society. This sermon challenges us to audit our language and allow the Lord to cleanse us from the malignancy of deceit. We’ll confront the seriousness of lying and the pride that infiltrates ungodly hearts, as highlighted in Psalm 12:3-4. Explore the powerful truth that our tongues have the ability to either build up or tear down, and that ultimately, God is our master, not ourselves. This Christian sermon provides a crucial message for those searching for truth and meaning, explaining how outside of covenant with Jesus Christ, we are enslaved to sin. For those interested in Christianity and spirituality, this video offers a clear path to salvation through faith in Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. In Psalm 12:5, we witness God’s compassionate response to the cries of the needy and the oppressed. This Bible study encourages Christians that God still hears our groanings and moves with power on our behalf. We’ll see how David’s isolation transforms into a sense of community, recognizing that God is mindful of all His people. A key highlight of this Psalms teaching is the profound truth of Psalm 12:6 – the purity and power of God’s Word. Like silver refined seven times, God’s promises withstand any trial or opposition, offering an unshakeable foundation for our faith. This Calvary Chapel sermon emphasizes the reliability of God’s truth, even in a world where it is constantly under attack. Finally, we find assurance in Psalm 12:7-8, knowing that God will guard and protect His people from the spiritual degradation of every generation. This sermon encourages believers to understand their identity as sons and daughters of God, no longer aimlessly wandering but walking with purpose toward His eternal glory. We’ll conclude by reflecting on the call to make disciples, carrying the cure of the Gospel to a world in desperate need of rescue. This video is a must-watch for anyone who wants to study the Bible, grow in their Christian faith, and understand how to live a life of purpose in Christ.…

How can writings from Daniel & John be “closed & sealed,” but then be revealed in the Last Days? By them being discovered! Pastor Gene Pensiero Find audio, video, and text of hundreds of other prophecy updates at: https://calvaryhanford.com/prophecy Read along with us at https://calvaryhanford.substack.com Follow us on YouTube at https://youtube.com/calvaryhanford — Welcome to Prophecy Updates #823: Dust Men Tell Their Tales — a compelling episode exploring current global trends in light of Bible prophecy, with special focus on the Dead Sea Scrolls, end times events, and the soon return of Jesus Christ. In this weekly series from Calvary Hanford, a local fellowship associated with Calvary Chapel, we take a few minutes to analyze how today’s headlines echo the ancient predictions found in Bible prophecy. As part of our ongoing effort to study the Bible systematically, we examine real-world developments that align with prophetic Scripture, including Old Testament prophecies, the Book of Daniel, and the Book of Revelation. In this episode, we highlight fascinating connections between the Dead Sea Scrolls and the end times, focusing on how Isaiah 29 may have foretold their discovery. These scrolls, hidden by the Essenes during the Roman destruction of Jerusalem, have begun to “speak from the dust” — a direct fulfillment of prophetic imagery. We discuss how these ancient texts, including the Great Isaiah Scroll, the Temple Scroll, and the Damascus Document, were uncovered during key moments in Israel’s modern history — the rebirth of the nation in 1948 and the Six-Day War in 1967 — both significant markers in prophetic timelines. Could these discoveries be part of what Daniel and John wrote about — sealed messages meant to be revealed in the last days? Are we seeing the unlocking of ancient truths for a final generation? We also take a fresh look at Revelation 3:10, discussing the pre-tribulation rapture and God’s promise to keep His Church from “the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world.” This verse is a cornerstone for believers awaiting the return of Jesus Christ — not to endure wrath, but to be rescued before the Great Tribulation begins. If you’re interested in Bible study, Christian eschatology, or discovering how current events align with the Bible’s end times prophecies, this video is for you. Whether you’re a student of the Scriptures, a follower of Christ, or simply curious about how ancient texts like the Dead Sea Scrolls fit into the prophetic puzzle, this video will encourage and equip you.
