  • When Headlines Don't Make Sense  (6/7/2016)
  • Headlines may seem dark but when seen through a biblical lens, they make much more sense! Join us this Fall and we'll help you better understand the times. We'll consider events of the day through Bible prophecy and God's end-time perspective. Don't miss this opportunity.
  • Left Turns  (5/9/2016)
  • Part of our end-time delusion is thinking that far Left politics and evangelicalism can blend. They are attempting to do so in the annual "Justice Conference" sponsored by World Relief which is a part of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE).
  • Trying to Make Sense of it All?  (4/28/2016)
  • Understanding the Times 2016
    Saturday, October 15
    9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Is There Time to Make America Great Again?  (4/19/2016)
  • Had enough yet? Enough of "Campaign 2016." Enough of the boasting, pride, self-aggrandizement, me-centered rhetoric from almost 20 presidential candidates over the last year? The Bible comes to modern day politics when you read II Timothy 3 in light of this year's election. Those who are lovers of self really wear on you. One almost wants to push the pause button and shut them up as we can conveniently do with online videos.
  • When the Restraint is Lifted  (4/5/2016)
  • We have been living in the last days since Jesus walked the road to Calvary and rose, triumphant, from the tomb. When Nero torched Christians in his garden and Diocletian threw them to the wild animals, early Christians saw the power of evil. It must have felt as if the world could not get any darker, and yet, it did.
  • Riding the Waves of Chaos  (3/9/2016)
  • Almost a decade ago an obscure politician came on the scene. Many were intrigued with his "hope and change" offer. Millions bought into it.
  • Who Are the Masters of Deceit?  (2/25/2016)
  • There is an agenda going on. Since the beginning of time there has been a conflict between good and evil. But now the agenda is so precarious that a new film says America is at the most vulnerable time since the Revolutionary War. When there is vulnerability, people become afraid, and then they ask government to do more.
  • A Fork in the Road  (2/11/2016)
  • We are less than one year away from electing a new President, and the world is a grim place after the debacle of Barack Obama. History will record his legacy as politically driven to the point of mind-boggling incompetency. Christian history will record it as a malevolent evil and evidence of Jeremiah 17:9: "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked."
  • Obama: King of the World?  (1/26/2016)
  • Barack Obama doesn't just want to fundamentally transform America. His sights are on the world. Many stories are breaking that he aspires to become the General-Secretary of the United Nations. Such talk is no longer Internet rumor.
  • Top Bible Prophecy Stories of 2015  (12/28/2015)
  • It's been an amazing year. If you follow any of the Bible prophecy sites, blogs, and media programs, you know they have been overwhelmed with stories that are foreshadowing the time the Bible calls the Time of Jacob's Trouble, also known as the Tribulation.
  • Preparing for What Is to Come  (12/7/2015)
  • I'd like to prepare you for what is likely to come, so consider this information a warning and perhaps a harbinger of things to come. Fascism starts slowly. It did in Nazi Germany and it has here.
  • Calming the End-Time Rage  (11/17/2015)
  • Our times can be trying. One hesitates to even tune into the latest Internet or cable news program and watch the updated saga of suffering. The recent blood bath in Paris is a prime example of why people are disconnecting and disengaging in disgust.
  • All Coming Together  (11/11/2015)
  • One of our conference live-streamers from Iowa writes, "With tears still in my eyes I type this email. Even watching online I sensed the anointing of the Holy Spirit upon the conference. Your speakers moved me beyond words. Not just raw emotions, but the real presence of Jesus speaking to me!"
  • Imagine: When the World Will Be As One  (10/26/2015)
  • John Lennon had a good imagination. He wanted us to imagine a world without religion and a world that would be one. I highly doubt that Lennon realized that John the Revelator wrote about globalism long before Lennon did. You can read about it in Revelation 13.
  • Descending Into a Whirwind  (10/12/2015)
  • Post-conference comments have poured into this office. One called the event, "Profound, meaningful, insightful, powerful."
  • Countdown  (9/28/2015)
  • Come learn more this fall at "Understanding the Times 2015."
  • Welcome to Our Live Streaming Information  (9/28/2015)
  • Instructions on how to live stream the Understanding the Times 2015 Conference.
  • How Much Closer Are We Now?  (9/22/2015)
  • We hear so much about "converging signs" today. The Bible speaks about end-time signs that will increase like birth pangs near the end. I think we have passed the birth pang process, frankly.
  • Inexplicable!   (9/14/2015)
  • That's how a secular talk show host opened up his program this week. He repeated the word "inexplicable" five times. He was trying to decipher our times and that's the only word he could come up with. He doesn't realize the Bible outlines such perilous times. It wouldn't matter as he doesn't have a biblical perspective.
  • The Perfect Storm  (9/2/2015)
  • The Bible says there is coming a generation of turmoil. A perfect storm is coming but it is outlined in the Bible. We may not like the headlines today but scripture says in Luke 21:9, "These things must happen". Things must play out according to the predicted biblical scenario. In the meantime, we are to occupy until He comes (Luke 19:13).
  • Pope Francis: An Apocalyptic Figure?  (8/18/2015)
  • I am cautious about "pinning the tail" on the Antichrist and the False Prophet. We cannot know ahead of time who these personalities are; however, Pope Francis comes close to "filling the bill" on the False Prophet.
  • Madness: Welcome to the End-of-Days  (8/11/2015)
  • The Bible says there is coming a generation of turmoil. We may not like the headlines today but scripture says in Luke 21:9, "These things must happen". Things must play out according to the predicted biblical scenario. In the meantime, we are to occupy until He comes (Luke 19:13).
  • A Pefect Storm  (7/27/2015)
  • Can we take talk about a "New World Order" seriously, or is it just conspiratorial? If there is such a movement, who are the players? How does Pope Francis fit in since he seems to be a major mover?
  • Night is Falling  (7/13/2015)
  • As my guest author, Matt Ward writes, night has fallen. All the more why we have to be salt and light to delay the decay. The Bible foretold that the world would hate us for doing what is right. We are truly exiles in our own country.
  • Ravenous Wolves  (6/29/2015)
  • What's with writhing people in altered states of consciousness, whipped into a frenzy, groaning, moaning, laughing and crying? Some Christian leaders call this worship. Can this be? Or is this more like the kundalini found in Hinduism?
  • Occupy Until I Come  (6/22/2015)
  • The Bible says there is coming a generation of turmoil. We may not like the headlines today but scripture says in Luke 21:9, "These things must happen". Things must play out according to the predicted biblical scenario. In the meantime, we are to occupy until He comes (Luke 19:13). Join us and learn how to understand the times and contend for the faith this fall.
  • Slumbering Preachers - Sleeping Saints  (6/16/2015)
  • A ministry supporter in Washington State sent me a flyer that was handed out in his church recently. It is more mocking. The flyer asks if folks have met "End-Times Eddie" in the church. It denigrates "Eddie" and suggests he is so focused on end-times that he has missed all the present opportunities and people in front of him.
  • Lucifer Makes Prime Time  (5/27/2015)
  • I guess the Fox Network really is fair and balanced. They present the good, the bad, and the truly ugly. In this case the "ugly" is a program about Lucifer. That's right: Lucifer leaves Hell and becomes a resident of Los Angeles. I'm not making this up.
  • I Will Carry You  (5/18/2015)
  • I was deeply saddened a week ago when Caryl Matrisciana called me to tell me about her tragic cancer diagnosis.
  • Mockers: They Have Been Warned  (4/30/2015)
  • Those who celebrate diversity have been busy showing a remarkable display of a lack of diversity in recent weeks. The "tolerant ones" are having violent fits of intolerance. The open-minded Left have once again revealed themselves to be 100% closed-minded. Let me explain.
  • Rewriting History  (4/10/2015)
  • When Jesus called Satan the father of lies, He revealed the enemy's number one tactic. Evil attacks truth; it seeks to change and confuse the facts. It creates and spreads lies using the weapon of redefinition.
  • Revenge, Abandonment, Betrayal  (3/30/2015)
  • Neither kings, generals, mullahs, ayatollahs, presidents, Fuhrers, or pharaohs can obliterate Israel. But the evil they perpetrate on God's covenant land can boomerang back on them and their empires.

    We have been warned. Scripture is clear. Mess with Israel and there are consequences.
  • Times of the Signs  (3/16/2015)
  • If you would like to better understand the exploding signs of the times that surround us daily, you'll want to attend the "Good News for Israel" Prophecy Conference.
  • A Righteous Witness  (3/4/2015)
  • In late February, Holocaust survivor Anita Dittman received an award at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB): Heroine of the Faith: Crown of Life Award
  • These Things Must Happen  (2/10/2015)
  • The Bible says there is coming a generation of turmoil. We may not like the headlines today but scripture says in Luke 21:9, "These things must happen." Things must play out according to the predicted biblical scenario.
  • Believing a Lie  (2/3/2015)
  • What nation could be "apartheid on steroids"? Surely some Islamic stronghold, right?
    Wrong.
    Try Israel. That's according to World Vision's Steve Haas writing for the Lausanne Movement.
  • Soul Pollution  (1/26/2015)
  • Whether we're discussing entertainment or everyday life, we shouldn't expect unbelievers to act like Christians nor should we judge them -- they need salvation through Jesus. We can however, overcome our silence by warning, informing, and encouraging others to be more discerning and to avoid the garbage this world often produces and promotes.
  • Falling Into Place  (1/13/2015)
  • How does one review the last year and project into the new year when events are happening in a rapid-fire manner, too fast to even properly document? I could review one stunning story and another one would be breaking as I write.
  • We Have Been Warned  (12/8/2014)
  • As a watcher of the political climate in America, I recently assembled a message on how U.S. Presidents have treated God's covenant land. I started with Woodrow Wilson as he was in office when the Balfour Declaration came about in 1917. That was the "unofficial" birth of Israel which was later formalized May 14, 1948.
  • A masterpiece. Brilliant. Extraordinary. Indispensable.  (12/1/2014)
  • The above terms are offered by Dr. David Reagan, Merv Watson from Israel, and journalist Jim Fletcher describing the various Anita Dittman products available at Olive Tree Ministries.
  • Under a Spell  (11/13/2014)
  • One of the most frequent e-mails I get is asking why American Jews continue to vote for a party that has some leaders who cannot stand the stench of Israel. In the November 4 mid-terms, Jews voted 3 to 1 for Democrats over Republicans.
  • Renewing Hope Amidst Lawlessness  (11/4/2014)
  • "I've been to most of your 18 conferences and this was by far your best. The speaker information was simply the best take-away I've had from a conference in years. We came from Virginia. It was well worth the trip." - Rich
  • Betrayal  (10/27/2014)
  • In my conference message at the Fall 2014 "Understanding the Times", I looked at many Presidents of the United States and their blessing or cursing of Israel. I am a strong believer in the Genesis 12:3 blessing and cursing. God does bless the nation, denomination, church, ministry, business, etc., that blesses Israel. He likewise curses those who hammer her or betray her.
  • Stunning Perilous Times: What is Our Response?  (10/14/2014)
  • "What a fantastic conference on October 4 that was spiritually uplifting and encouraging. I loved each speaker and each topic presented. Everyone brought something unique and different to the podium with teachable messages that challenged my witness and convicted me but also renewed my confidence and hope about the future in a world taken over with extreme lawlessness. And, of course, spending 8 hours with like-minded believers who love the Lord and His word is a touch of heaven on earth." -- Arlene
  • Don't Miss This: Living HIstory  (9/30/2014)
  • Television Broadcasts from Jewish Voice with Jan Markell & Anita Dittman airing the week of October 6 and October 13. Jan and Anita are interviewed by host Jonathan Bernis both weeks. Anita shares her uplifting story, in part, and Jan talks about both Germany and America letting government become their god.
  • Islam in Prophecy  (9/9/2014)
  • Most of us know that Islam will meet a serious partial defeat on the mountains of Israel as outlined in Ezekiel 38-39. However, that war will not likely destroy over one billion Muslims. Will some just be so shattered at the defeat that they will leave the faith? Hard to say when they are doing nothing but gaining strength and power when you include all their off-shoots such as Boko Haram in Nigeria, Al Shabab in Ethiopia and another two-dozen splinter groups.
  • Crushing the Head of Satan  (8/20/2014)
  • Why do people suffer? Why do we despair? The words of Jesus ring true throughout the centuries: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)
  • Have You Noticed Our Times?  (8/14/2014)
  • The world may be on fire but there is still good news out there. The King is coming and He remains in control. Join several thousand like-minded believers all day Saturday, October 4, as we encourage one another and learn.
  • The Pale Horseman Getting Ready to Ride?  (8/5/2014)
  • America is reacting to the fact that two missionaries -- both Ebola victims in Liberia -- are being returned to America for treatment. Many prominent people are suggesting this will begin the invasion of this disease in America. How silly, since our southern border is an infectious disease ward almost as bad as Liberia.
  • A Coalition of Comfort  (7/21/2014)
  • We are in dangerous, unsettling times. The earth is nearly shaking on its axis. Previous generations were spared dealing with concepts such as Sharia Law, Islamic Caliphates, nuclear centrifuges in rogue hands, chemical weapons, NSA spying, IRS lawlessness, border invasions, and corruption and serial lying at the highest levels of government.
  • 15 Future Events That Will Shake the World  (6/30/2014)
  • Dr. Ed Hindson feels that the five signs that reveal the future are 1) The return of Israel; 2) The Middle East crisis; 3) A global economy; 4) The European Union; 5) Weapons of Mass Destruction. Read more about 15 Future Events That Will Shake the World.
  • Blood Moons: Harbingers or Hype?  (6/23/2014)
  • We can argue about the blood moons past, present and future, but no one can argue that they have captured the attention of the world and church.
  • The Root of the Crisis  (6/16/2014)
  • No one would argue that America is knee-deep in a crisis but what is at the root? Dr. David Reagan's annual Bible and prophecy conference July 11-12 near Dallas, TX suggests it is spiritual in nature. A number of speakers will address this issue.
  • The Rise of Lawlessness  (6/3/2014)
  • Jill Martin Rische writes this week's e-newsletter. We can all see the unspeakable lawlessness around the world. It would be shocking were believers not aware that this is predicted for a last generation. It is still stunning that much of it is orchestrated or tolerated by the highest leaders in the U.S. and the world.
  • Don't Miss This!   (5/28/2014)
  • This important movie is one of the most talked about films of 2014 and is being strongly recommended by many well known and respected Christian leaders.
  • Hope and Change: Haunting Comparisons  (5/13/2014)
  • What happens when people are seduced by government through handouts, government checks, government promises, and more? In Nazi Germany, Germans in the early 1930s were promised a return to the "glory days" after the devastation of WWI. Government then started to paint a picture of the good life returning, but only if government could become their god.
  • The Roots of Rage  (5/6/2014)
  • When I met Anita Dittman, the Ayatollah Khoumeini had just come on the scene. Who could have imagined what he would inspire? No one recognized the roots of rage.
  • When the Ill Winds Blow  (4/23/2014)
  • The ill winds of anti-Semitism never cease. Now and then they diminish but they always pick up speed again. By now you know that a week ago a story broke about flyers being handed out in East Ukraine telling Jews to register. The story was denounced by all government officials involved and the effort was blamed on radicals.
  • So this is Now Unsafe?  (4/16/2014)
  • A conference attendee from October 5, 2013, stated, "It was awesome being with fellow believers with whom I could discuss these important issues. I left not feeling so alone." Another attendee last fall wrote to tell us she no longer feels safe talking about current issues and end-time events with fellow Christians.

    How did we get to this tragic state of the church? Why is news that the King is coming a downer?
  • The Convergence  (4/8/2014)
  • A convergence is a coming together of many things and in this context, a coming together of last days' signs the Bible told us to watch for. These signs are exploding. We don't just watch them; now we almost feel them.
  • Infiltration: A Call to Contend  (3/25/2014)
  • We are introducing a new group of pamphlets, "Understanding MORE Deception 3", which cover ten topics that are confusing and deceiving people in the church today.
  • We Were Warned  (3/10/2014)
  • My frequent radio guest and Understanding the Times conference speaker, Gary Kah, joined me on air this past weekend. He has been warning the world of the coming global government system for almost 25 years.
  • Selling God  (3/3/2014)
  • A light switch has flipped on in the heads of some Hollywood elite: Bible stories sell and you don't even have to be faithful to the original text. Make it up as you go -- project your angst, ulterior motives, or even your religion onto the public screen and in the process, make some big bucks -- no worries.
  • Jesus Isn't Coming Back to "Occupied Territory"  (2/20/2014)
  • Here we go again. Another Christ at the Checkpoint (CATC) conference is set to launch March 10-14. It's another tragic event that tells half-truths and hardly the entire story. The theme is "Christ at the Checkpoint III: Your Kingdom Come." It's based on the Lord's Prayer and how Christ would approach the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today.
  • Delusional Diplomacy  (2/11/2014)
  • What is John Kerry doing? Have you heard the term, "the most dangerous man on earth?" Well, maybe that's a stretch and maybe it isn't. But the wreckage he is creating is staggering.
  • No Room for Us   (2/7/2014)
  • Jill Martin Rische is our guest columnist this week. Like so many, she is troubled by the lack of an eschatological emphasis everywhere. Bible prophecy is an inconvenience; a silly diversion looked at by a few today. It is the bearer of bad news, not the trumpet of eternal hope. Jill is calling the church to prepare to stand in these dark days and be the salt and light we are asked to be.
  • Angels in Disguise  (1/27/2014)
  • Are there angels in disguise? It says in Hebrews 13:2 that we should not be forgetful to entertain strangers for they might be "angels unawares." And while the "New Age" Movement and the pop culture have made too much out of angels, that doesn't mean that you and I have not come across an angel in a crisis who has been there just for us.
  • Answers to Tough Questions  (1/20/2014)
  • Apologist Dr. Ron Rhodes answers tough questions on our current radio program. Jan, Ron, and co-hosts discuss the Eternal state, the Bema Seat (Judgment Seat of Christ), degrees of punishment in Hell, the difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming, and much more.
  • I Didn't Feel so Alone  (1/14/2014)
  • Join us and make a new friend or two at "Understanding the Times Spring 2014," or "Understanding the Times Fall 2014."
  • The Strong Delusion of 2013  (12/31/2013)
  • Jan looks back at 2013 and, in particular, mankind's longing for a "Mr. Fix-It".
  • Mugged by Reality  (12/16/2013)
  • Government-run medicine is the crown jewel of Socialism. The Progressives have been trying to implement it for 100 years in America so it is not likely they will let it slip away from them, but let's not give up quite yet!
  • Birth Pangs  (12/9/2013)
  • Events in the world of eschatology raced in 2013. Here is just a short list of how God's end-time prophetic scenario moved ahead throughout the year:
  • Understanding Our Perilous Times  (11/25/2013)
  • If you think the world is spinning out of control, you are right! The Bible tells us that "these things must happen." Nothing should take you by surprise. The current administration's abysmal treatment of Israel has consequences. Putting our favor upon radical Islamic nations and ignoring the cries for help from our best ally in the Middle East will destabilize the entire world.
  • Cheering for Annihilation  (11/19/2013)
  • America is currently in a Luke 21 scenario: We have "distress with perplexity." We have dilemmas for which there are no solutions. There is no way out of the ObamaCare steel trap. No matter which way we turn in the maze, we run into a wall!
  • Sanctifying the Forbidden  (11/12/2013)
  • I am not sure when Christianity Today (CT) magazine lost some credibility but each electronic issue is stunning and I don't mean in a positive way.
  • In Government We Trust?  (10/28/2013)
  • It is a time of fear and frustration: Christians targeted as enemies and anything related to Christianity removed from the public sector -- the Cross, the Ten Commandments, and even pictures of Jesus. God is despised in the name of reason and science. The government dominates the people, ruling with an iron hand. But it is not the United States of America; it is the French Revolution of 1789, where a government sponsored and media fueled assault on God preceded chaos and despair.
  • Christian Cleansing: The Cross in the Crosshairs  (10/21/2013)
  • In America, the Name of Jesus and all things Christian are being purged from public view because they are considered offensive. The salvation message Jesus taught as the only way, the only truth, and the only life, is ruled as hateful and exclusive. Public prayers in Jesus' Name and the mere presence of a Bible have been outlawed. Biblical Christianity is being stripped from our schools, our military, our government, and from our society as a whole.
  • When Things Go Terribly Wrong  (10/14/2013)
  • The fact that the King is coming should be front-and-center in every church pulpit many times a year. The topic should not be marginalized, mocked, or scorned, and certainly no one should suggest it is "unsafe." If there isn't "safety" in the hope of Heaven, the hope of His return, then we truly are a pitiful generation. The fact that we have this hope sets believers who think this way light years ahead of a hopeless society today.
  • The Buck Stops Here--Cashless Arrives  (10/1/2013)
  • Our future is in the cards as the world begins to move from paper to plastic and electronic money. The future is going to give new meaning to "the buck stops here." It will be blotted out forever. The only question is, how soon?
  • Even So, Come Lord Jesus  (9/19/2013)
  • Have you noticed that the world is imploding? Without a biblical perspective, nothing would make sense. Nor would there be any hope. We will share with you the truth of our times but uplift you as well, with the hope that Jesus' return offers.
  • When a Great Nation Becomes Lawless  (9/9/2013)
  • God is still keeping count of the hairs on our heads. He is still counting the sparrows that fall, still hearing petitions before they are asked, and still answering before being called. He is still giving abundantly more than we can ask or think. So why let the facts on the ground throw us? He has everything under control.
  • Understanding MORE Deception  (9/4/2013)
  • Due to popular demand, Olive Tree Ministries now has in stock a number of NEW pamphlets that cover MORE of the deceptive practices that are infiltrating the church these days. They're pamphlets, so they are quick to read (20 minutes) and easy and relatively inexpensive to share with others (one pamphlet for $1.50 or $2.00 or 10 for $15).
  • Sowing Discord Among the Brethren  (8/20/2013)
  • As I state in my August-September print newsletter, I am troubled by the tone I am seeing among believers today and particularly between ministry leaders. I am seeing a lack of civility between ministries that is stunning, as well as character assassination and even slander.
  • Technology Foretold  (8/15/2013)
  • Nathan Jones of Lamb Lion Ministries explores how Bible prophecy foretells future events, and also reveals some interesting circumstances that would require modern technology for these events to occur.
  • Becoming One to Save the World  (8/5/2013)
  • Our current radio program features globalist-watcher Gary Kah. He has been tracking the global agenda for 25 years. Read further to see his talking points and find many current headlines that you want to be aware of.
  • What's To Become of Egypt?   (7/31/2013)
  • Egypt is the second most referred to nation in the Bible. Only Israel takes more prominence. She is the very heart of the Arab world and she now possesses the valuable Suez Canal which makes her a desire of the nations. The Canal falling into evil hands could be unthinkable but also very likely. Stay tuned. Watch the world with an open Bible and this ministry.
  • Are You Weary of Being Outraged?  (7/23/2013)
  • If you're like me, you're fed up. You're disgusted that evil always seems to win! You wonder why God allows serial liars in government and elsewhere to keep prospering and even to win re-election in many places. Just being aware of the fact that we're in an Isaiah 5:20 world isn't enough: that we're likely in the midst of evil being called good.
  • Deliver Us From Evil  (7/16/2013)
  • The Bible tells us we are to keep our eyes on the Lord, waiting eagerly for His return. As this world falls apart around us, it becomes even more important to cling to Him and draw our strength from Him. Today, evil seeks to devour every freedom we ever cherished as Americans, giving the prayer "deliver us from evil" a whole new sense of urgency.
  • Scoffers Waxing Worse and Worse  (7/8/2013)
  • If you have perused headlines recently, or watched a TV news hour, you are stunned at what's going on. I am every morning as I post headlines. I let them sink in and I shake my head. When has the world been in this much chaos? When have people been this unhappy, confused, addicted, pagan, angry and tuned out?
  • Racing Towards Tyranny?  (6/19/2013)
  • After our fall conference last year, Jan received this enthusiastic endorsement of the event: "This conference was the best I have ever attended anywhere. You presented the facts, which can be disheartening, but you also lifted us by presenting Jesus Christ and our blessed hope."
  • The End-Game Has Begun  (6/13/2013)
  • Here's a quick review that lets you know we're in an Alice-in-Wonderland world. Sadly, you haven't fallen down any hole; rather, everyday events are just bizarre thanks to the hastening of an end-time clock.
  • 2013 or 1984?  (6/7/2013)
  • Have you checked out the news, lately? Do you keep up? No, I don't mean your local news, I mean planet-wide news. If you don't, you should. Yes, it's dire, and yes, it's getting worse day by day. But if you are a child of the King, each dire report resonates one glorious message: The King is Coming!
  • What's Going On In Damascus?  (5/30/2013)
  • Currently there are three wars going on in Syria, any one of which could lead to the fulfillment of Isaiah 17. Jack Kelley shares his insight and prophetic analysis of current events in Damascus.
  • Attention Olive Tree Mobile App Users  (5/22/2013)
  • We regret that our Mobile Apps for Android, IPhone, IPad, and IPod, are currently unavailable. This is completely out of our hands and we have no assurance of how soon this situation might be rectified.
  • Calvary Chapel Rebukes Palestinian Event  (5/17/2013)
  • In a dramatic showdown last week within the Calvary Chapel (CC) movement, the leadership of the California-based association of churches rebuked an event held at North Coast Calvary Chapel that featured a presentation by Palestinian activists.
  • The Decline and Fall of an Empire  (5/14/2013)
  • God is moving in the hearts of the Mormon people, calling them to Him. It's coming -- the decline and fall of the vast Latter Day Saint Empire, and it is crumbling from within.
  • Calvary Chapel Breached  (5/9/2013)
  • Near the summit at Masada, one can see the place where the Romans breached the defenses of the 1,000 Jewish men, women, and children who'd fled after the destruction of Jerusalem some two years earlier. It is on the western side and serves as a stark reminder that since forever, enemies of the Jews have sought to do them harm.
  • Understanding Deception  (5/1/2013)
  • Heard the term "Therapeutic Touch?" Anyone you know receiving help with a physical malady through this practice? What does the term, "Christ consciousness" mean? Have you been invited to participate in, "Centering Prayer?" And what in the world is the deal with the Catholic Church trying to merge with the evangelical/Protestant church and make us all one, big, happy family? Olive Tree Ministries now has in stock a number of pamphlets that cover these questions and many more.
  • Scoffers Abound  (4/19/2013)
  • Excuse me while I rant. I think Bible prophecy gets a bad rap. I think that those of us who long for Jesus' return are marginalized in the church today. I even think there is a war on Bible prophecy starting in our seminaries. The carnage is played out in our churches that across-the-board stay away from the subject. The fact that the King is coming is seen as bad news to many because the event is shrouded in the world's bad news.
  • A New Opportunity  (4/10/2013)
  • We are pleased to join the new line-up on a powerful Twin Cities' radio station, WCTS AM1030, Saturday and Sunday at 9 AM CST.

They are out of Minneapolis, MN, and are a part of Fourth Baptist Church and Central Theological Seminary.
  • The Foreshadowing  (4/3/2013)
  • If the strong delusion that is racing across the globe doesn't shock you, something is wrong! Whether it was the ecstasy on thousands of faces in St. Peter's Square waiting with adoring eyes for their new Pope, or the shenanigans in Israel a few weeks ago, it's a scary time. It's both a privilege and a challenge to be born for such a time as this.
  • Beast-Type Money Grab Serves as Prophetic Warning  (3/27/2013)
  • Jan shares a short article from columnist Bill Wilson on the situation with the Cyprus government confiscating people's hard-earned money through the country's banks and how that is probably a foreshadowing of what may happen here in America
  • The Mystery of St. Malachy  (3/19/2013)
  • Co-host Jill Martin Rische expounds on what is behind the much-discussed Prophecy of the Popes.
  • Know Thine Enemy: God Says We're at War!  (3/14/2013)
  • Whoever said the world would get better and better until the Lord's return must not read, watch or search the daily news. It's a little scary out there -- and unfortunately it is also scary inside the church in many places!
  • Peace, Peace, When There Is No Peace  (2/25/2013)
  • Jan looks at a recent issue of "Christianity Today", the prominent evangelical journal that has been leaning Left for years, and the spotlight they put on, "Top 5 Books on Israel & Palestine," as asserted by Gary Burge.
  • Pope Gives Two Weeks Notice  (2/15/2013)
  • The Catholic church was thrown into turmoil [Monday] after Pope Benedict XVI made the shock decision to quit the papacy because of his deteriorating health. The decision, delivered in Latin and in unemotional tones by Pope Benedict XVI to a gathering of cardinals on Monday, came ''like a bolt out of the blue'', one of the participants said, and it soon ricocheted around the world.

  • When Diplomacy Really Is Lunacy  (1/29/2013)
  • The Bible is clear that in the last days things won't make sense! Evil will be called good and good will be called evil. Dark will be light and sweet will be bitter. Self and money will be the primary gods. The real heart of mankind is going to be revealed in the last days. Look out! Scary. It's going to be ugly, self-centered and just plain evil.
  • When Times Are This Perilous . . .   (1/21/2013)
  • Exciting things are happening at Olive Tree Ministries as we begin 2013, and you are a part of it as our faithful listening (and reading) audience, so we want to let you know!
  • I'm Out of the Office Permanently!!  (1/9/2013)

  • New Israel to America: We Feel Your Pain, We Are One Family  (12/17/2012)
  • The Bible says the last days will be difficult. The times would be perilous, treacherous, reckless, lawless, unholy, and good would be reviled (II Timothy 3.) So here we are smack dab in the middle of them and it's not a pretty picture.
  • The Biggest Cover-Up in History  (12/10/2012)
  • Jan encourages readers to listen to her program posted 12/8/12, in which co-host Eric Barger speaks with Congresswoman Michele Bachmann about the incident in Benghazi and how it is one of a number of factors that is setting up the decimation of free speech in America.
  • What's Done For Christ Will Last  (11/30/2012)
  • What is your motivation for living your life? What drives you? Wait. Before you answer, I don't want you to give me the answer you think I want to hear. I want you to give me the answer that is true of you as best you know yourself today. Examine yourself and be perfectly honest. I'll never know the answer. But Jesus already knows it.
  • In Spite of it All -- Our God Reigns  (11/15/2012)
  • This past election didn't catch our Father off-guard. He is still in complete control. Heidi shares how God has reinforced this in her life and encourages readers to hope only in God.
  • The Puzzle Unfolds: America and the End-Times  (11/12/2012)
  • So we've had a birth pang of biblical proportions! And it was a U.S. election. Did it get our attention? Yes! Maybe it needed to. We're all so busy that we don't pay careful attention to how late it is.
  • It's Your Responsibility  (11/2/2012)
  • Heidi encourages readers to listen to an exhortation by Dr. David Jeremiah to ascertain the issues from a biblical perspective and then fulfill their duty before God to get out and vote.

  • When Being Pro-Peace Promotes War  (10/16/2012)
  • When a college forum talks about being pro-peace and pro-Jesus, why do I become suspicious? When the event is sponsored by a Department of Reconciliation Studies, why do I become uncomfortable?
  • You Are Definitely Not Alone  (10/11/2012)
  • On October 5-6 we held our 15th Understanding the Times conference in Minneapolis, MN. This isn't just a report on the weekend; it's a commentary that will let you know you are not alone.

  • The Olive Tree Board of Directors answers queries of confusion -- regarding this ministry's stand with Jonathan Cahn, author of "The Harbinger" -- due to conflicting emails and posts provided by a few other ministries this summer and within the last week, in particular.
  • Between Heaven and Ground Zero  (9/28/2012)
  • More than a story of collapsed towers, Between Heaven and Ground Zero is the story of a woman undone in a moment of extreme suffering. Leslie freely admits to the pride and hubris she had cultivated and harbored as a result of her successful career. By the morning of 9/11, she had long since strayed from the Christian faith of her childhood, instead worshiping the gods of money and power. And of course, these gods proved fickle during the slow march to safety that started in her office and forced her to continue walking in fear and pain many months after the attacks.
  • The Coming Leader  (9/19/2012)
  • Prophecy teacher Jack Kelley writes about a man who may be waiting in the wings: The Antichrist. The world longs for a leader. The world thought they had it in Barack Obama in 2008. Now they wonder again. As we see evil arise in a shocking manner in these "days of Noah," be encouraged that it is leading to a day when there will be a shout and the sound of a trumpet. And in the twinkling of an eye, we will leave this throbbing planet. I can almost hear the hoof beats of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Look over a ridge and you will see them on the way.
  • Without a Friend  (9/5/2012)
  • One of the recurring themes of the last days as foretold by the Hebrew prophets and confirmed by the Revelation of Jesus Christ, is the theme of Israel's international isolation. The Bible says that each time that Israel faces an existential threat (and there are several) in the very last days, Israel will find herself totally isolated and alone.
  • The Descent Into Darkness  (8/28/2012)
  • Joel Rosenberg calls the Middle East the "epicenter." One Bible translation calls it the "navel (center) of the earth." While your church pulpit may not focus on it, the world's media does but they don't have their lens properly focused. Because of the silence in the church, most Christians yawn at the topic. I urge you to listen up!

  • What Will Happen to America After the Rapture  (8/15/2012)
  • One of the potential scenarios outlined for America's collapse in Joel Rosenberg's new book, Implosion, is the Rapture of the Church. How will the Rapture affect America's economy, government, military capabilities, etc.? Have you ever thought about it?
  • When Discernment Turns Ugly  (8/9/2012)
  • There is no doubt that we live in the age of ever-increasing apostasy. The authentic Church, or "remnant," spoken of in the Book of Revelation appears to be shrinking, at least in our western culture. And growing numbers of those who remain steadfast and faithful to the Word of God are becoming acutely aware of false teaching and false teachers dotting the Christian landscape.
  • The Olympics' Burdensome Stone  (7/31/2012)
  • Whoever would have thought that a nation smaller than a postage stamp placed on a giant globe could cause such alarming events and reactions?
  • Could This Be the Year?  (7/24/2012)
  • Whether humans do or do not have a sixth sense as do animals, something is clearly working on the psyche of many of us. It is being felt by too many people to be ignored. Something major is about to happen. Even though the majority may not realize it or care, thousands can sense an impending doom, a storm on the horizon.
  • Is a Burden Coming to Damascus?  (7/17/2012)
  • Are we on the cusp of the Psalm 83 war? Syria is moving chemical weapons around the country.
  • The World Is Changing!  (7/13/2012)

  • Why Is This Controversial?  (5/31/2012)

If ever there was a reason to engage, in a Christ-honoring way and for the kingdom, that's a GOOD reason!

  • Rick Warren, Islam and the Real Issue  (3/7/2012)
  • The real issue isn't the recent interview Rick Warren had with the Orange County Register that he is now trying to back pedal on. The real issue is why he ever signed a document stating that Islam and Christianity worship the same God in the first place. That is the root of the problem.
  • When Apostasy Runs Amok  (3/1/2012)
  • Jan exposes Rick Warren's decision to "heal divisions between Christians and Muslims" by partnering with Southern California mosques. Although he denies it, Rick is very much involved in the Chrislam movement.

  • Your Maturity is Showing  (9/7/2011)
  • Pride is an insidious thing. And it is too easy for those who consider themselves to be "discerning Christians" to immediately condemn a brother or sister in Christ when they appear to not understand a certain principle in Scripture the way we do. Better double-check before we begin condemning and disassociating . . .
  • Stolen Blessings: The LDS Connection  (8/30/2011)
  • A friend of our ministry, Jack Kinsella with The Omega Letter (www.omegaletter.com) attended Glenn Beck's tour to Israel and was sadly angered to find that the entire trip was a deception -- a money-making event for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

  • Will This Ship of Fools Sink May 22?  (5/17/2011)

  • Although we are grateful for all of the light Glenn Beck has shed on machinations within American and world government that we might otherwise be unaware of, we encourage Christians to be cautious when he begins stretching over into the area of religion and faith because, no matter what his rhetoric, Glenn Beck is a professing MORMON. That's an entirely different animal from a professing Christian. Find out what some of those radical differences in doctrine entail.
