Is your faith ready to stand the test of the tribulation?
If someone told you everything that was going to happen in the next two weeks, and it happened exactly as they said, would you want to hear more? Would it increase your faith that what they told you next would also come to pass?
This is the role of prophecy in the Bible. The more you study, and the better you understand the prophecies of the end time, the more currency you will have in your spiritual faith bank account. As you watch the prophecies unfold exactly as foretold, you will know that the promises of God will be sure, giving you the hope and faith you will most surely need when the time of trouble such as has never been arrives at your door.
But if you fall into the false interpretations presented by most of Christianity that the books of Daniel and Revelation are all past, or if you spend all of your time looking at books of prophecy that were meant for ancient Israel when coming out of Babylon and trying to apply them to end times, your chances of surviving the tribulation decrease dramatically.
Yeshua's warnings about deception in the last days needs to be taken seriously. Join Tom as he goes through these concepts using the words of Yeshua to help us understand the importance of knowing the events that are going to take place in the time of the end. Many are now being deceived into believing things that are not true. They are being set up to worship a false Christ prior to the actual Second Coming. This false Christ will mandate a false religion. Will you be able to stand?

2300 Days, Daniel 8:14 Revisited
A well-known historical application of the 2300 "evenings and mornings" of Daniel 8:14 has been interpreted as days, and then extrapolated to mean years: 2300 years spanning from 457 BC to 1844 AD. Along this timeline, they add interpretations for other points along the timeline, including 538 AD and 1798 AD.
Tom Stapleton gives a number of examples by comparing Scripture with this interpretation, to show that it simply does not work. Rather than holding on to an early effort to understanding the then-sealed prophecies of Daniel, Bible students who cling to the 1844 idea need to "prophesy again" (Revelation 10:11) so they do not miss out on the actual fulfillment of Daniel's end-time prophetic timelines, which are yet in the future.
See also our article which shows a number of reasons why starting Daniel 8:14 based on Daniel 9 is not correct. https://www.endtimesprophecy.com/research/does-daniel-9-reveal-the-start-date-of-daniel-814/

New Light Never Contradicts Old Light
What happens when you learn a Bible truth that contradicts what you previously thought was Bible truth? Does truth ever contradict truth? What is the purpose of truth?

Restoration of the Original Calendar
Have you noticed that the creation calendar in Genesis and the end time timelines in Daniel and Revelation are on a 30-day month, 360-day year calendar? How can we make sense of the original calendar in our 29.5-day month, 365-day year world?

Be Not Deceived
Scripture is full of warnings against deception, and unfortunately, online Bible teachings are full of deception as well.
Knowing the voice of the True Shepherd is the only way we can hope to make it through the coming storm of persecution and deception.
To make it to the kingdom, along the way you may need to trade in many misconceptions of what you think is established truth.
In this weeks message, Tom Stapleton shares a fuller understanding of some common misunderstandings of things like "a day is as a thousand years", or that the "day" of atonement is anything more than a literal day.
He addresses the rapture, the reasons why we can know that Daniel's timelines are literal days yet in the future, and what Revelation 1:1 "must shortly come to pass" actually means.

Controversy Among Brethren
There was much dispute and controversy among the early Christian church. We can learn from Bible accounts about these arguments yet today. Tom looks at examples from Paul's various experiences to show how to deal with controversy among brethren, and also the importance of being guided by the Holy Spirit.
You may know that Tom was part of the Seventh-day Adventist church system for many years, until his Bible studies convinced him that they were wrong on two major topics: their understanding of prophecy and the observance of God's festivals. Tom is now trying to reach out to Adventists (and all Christians and Messianic/Hebrew Roots believers) to show them that the prophecies of Daniel 7, 8, and 10-12 are still before us, and that the festival calendar is an important piece of understanding the prophetic puzzle. It is in this effort that an understanding of how to deal with others when controversy over Scripture arises has come to the forefront. It is a lesson that can apply to all believers in any setting as they seek to share their understanding of truth.
If you have found yourself at odds with fellow believers, following the lessons learned by Paul can help you in your walk. If we follow the pattern laid down in Scripture, it is possible to come into unity and fulfill the prayer of Yeshua that we all may be one.

Prophecy vs. Prophetic Understanding, Part 2: Adventism, Daniel 8:14, and 1844
Following on part one, which gave many examples of Biblical prophets applying end-time prophecies to their time, Tom Stapleton looks at the founders of Seventh-day Adventism and their understanding that Daniel 8:14 concluded October 22, 1844.
Just as the prophets of Scripture, 19th-century believers did the best they could to apply prophecies that they thought were for their day. The problem is that, like the Pharisees in the time of Yeshua, the SDA church leaders of today hold on to their interpretations and understandings as pillars of their faith, believing they were fulfillments when in fact they were merely applications of prophecy. Because of this, they continue to refuse to even consider the possibility that Daniel 7, 8, and 10-12 have a future fulfillment, despite the words of Yeshua in Matthew 24:15 and the declarations in Daniel 8:17, 19 and 10:14 that these visions are for the time of the end. This attitude causes them to miss the importance of these prophecies, which give warnings to our generation upon whom the end of the ages has actually come. This will result in many missing the message that God was giving through His prophets: a coming time of trouble such as has never been, which is soon to break upon the world, and more importantly, the church, as an overwhelming surprise.
Tom believes the time has come to shine light on the problems of the Seventh-day Adventist historical interpretation of prophecy, including the concept of judgment beginning in 1844. He does this in the hopes that many sincere believers still found among the SDAs will return to searching the Scriptures, and as necessary, to prophesy again.

Prophecy vs. Prophets' Understanding, Part 1
The Bible is full of example after example of key Biblical prophets, disciples, and apostles giving or citing a true prophecy, but applying a premature fulfillment to their day, even if the prophecy was, in some cases, referring to events that will transpire thousands of years into the future. They were indeed men ahead of their time. Join Tom as he shares the importance of understanding of how God leads prophets.
Examples:
Peter declared on the day of Pentecost that Joel's prophecy had just been fulfilled, when 2000-years later Joel 2:28-32 is clearly still future. There are two dangers with this: Do we discard Peter because he prematurely applied prophecy that was clearly for the time of the end? Or do we discard the possibility of an end time fulfillment to what was clearly an end-of-time prophecy just because Peter declared a fulfillment in his time?
Similarly, John the Baptist declared in Matthew 3:11-12 a number of events that were covering 3000 years (the first and second comings and the end of the millennium). But John spoke the prophecy as though it would all be fulfilled immediately by the Messiah. This was apparently how John understood them, and how his listeners would have interpreted John's message. Again, do we discount John the Baptist (who Yeshua said was the greatest of the prophets) because what he said was going to happen didn’t, even as yet 2000 years later? Or do we stubbornly insist that those events already happened and refuse to look for a future fulfillment to much of what John said?
Why does this matter? God never reveals all truth to any of His prophets, therefore leaving them with an incomplete understanding regarding the timing of the events foretold. If we demand from the prophets a perfect knowledge of not only events, but the timing of those events, we are in danger of resisting any teachings and their related warnings regarding the actual future fulfillment.

Daniel 9, Part Three: Seventy Weeks Are Determined - Why?
Join Tom Stapleton as he continues a detailed look into Daniel 9. In this segment, Tom finishes Daniel's prayer and begins looking at the "seventy sevens", and what Israel was instructed to do in that pre-determined time period.
How did this relate to Yeshua's "seventy times seven" of forgiveness? Where does the New Testament mention the fulfillment of the appointed time of the "seventy sevens"? What was the vision at the beginning and Gabriel's role?
These are just a few of the topics covered in this teaching.

Daniel 9 - His Prayer
Many people want to skip to Gabriel's 70 weeks/sevens prophecy at the end of Daniel 9, and they gloss right over Daniel's prayer. Yet understanding the prayer gives all important context to the proper understanding of the prophecy. After all, Gabriel was sent specifically because of the petition that Daniel was making, at the hour of the evening sacrifice (tamiyd). Knowing the petition is the key to understanding the vision.
What was Daniel asking? Was it to help him understand the end of this world's history as given in the prophecy of Daniel 8, received about 13 years earlier, or was it to help him understand where Daniel and the rest of the captives of Babylon were in their current timeline based on Jeremiah's 70 year prophecy? The prayer makes the answer to this question clear. Only when we apply Gabriel's explanation to the time period for which it was given can we hope to understand the prophecy for what it says.

Introduction to Daniel 9
Most Bible prophecy students and teachers struggle with how to place the 70 week prophecy of Daniel 9 into end time events and the timelines found in Daniel's three visions found in Daniel 7, Daniel 8, and Daniel 10-12. This is a frequent question to our ministry. Tom Stapleton is going to be doing a several part series to delve deeply into Daniel 9. This is the introduction to that series.

Did God's Plan Require Sin?
Did Judas have to betray Yeshua? Did Caiphas have to reject Him? If something was written in prophecy, did that mean it had to happen; that any humans involved had no free will in the matter? And if so, what does that say about God?
Listen in on this short clip of Tom Stapleton, taken from a longer teaching on Daniel chapter 9.

The Meaning Behind Pentecost
Join the presentation made by Tom Stapleton for Shavuot/Pentecost 2023. In this study, Tom compares the term "firstfruits" as it is used for the barley harvest at Passover and the wheat harvest at Shavuot/Pentecost (two different words in Hebrew), and cross references these terms into the New Testament when Yeshua and the 144,000 are called "firstfruits". More importantly, how can you strive to be among the 144,000?

The Second Beast of Revelation 13
After covering the dragons of Revelation 12 and the first beast (the one with the mark) of Revelation 13, Tom covers the second beast of Revelation 13 - the one who makes the image to the beast and causes all on the earth to worship the first beast.
Understanding who these beasts are is imperative to understanding the mark of the beast, and more importantly as you see these beasts forming on the world stage, you will have an understanding of where we are in the final prophetic warnings. Bear in mind that understanding these prophecies has far more importance than simply having knowledge. It is the foreknowledge of what is coming, and the advance notice to give time to prepare, that is key.
If you missed the first two segments of this study, look for "The Beast of Revelation 13" and "The Dragons of Revelation 12".

Purpose of the Feasts
Most Christian denominations do not observe God's feasts. In fact, most Christians (even so-called Biblical scholars) can't even name the feasts. Who is more glorified by this - God, or satan? God has many purposes in His holy festival calendar, and understanding these purposes can help you seek a deeper experience in your study and practice of the feasts. Join Tom Stapleton as he looks at some of the many purposes and benefits that those of us who observe God's festivals receive.

Final Festival Cycles: Before the Second Coming, and the End of the Millennium
God's holy day calendar reveals His timing, the typology of His festivals, and gives clues to what is to come. In this teaching, Tom Stapleton shows the festival cycle as it was in the Passover Exodus from Egypt, which matches the Passover "greater exodus" at the Second Coming. He also shows the final fulfillment of the festival cycle at the end of the millennium, as the redeemed celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles when the Jubilee will be fulfilled and the meek shall inherit the earth made new.
