The actor who plays Jesus (Jim Caviezel) said this movie will have "shocking" parts. One part, that has been reported, is the idea that Jesus went to Hades after the crucifixion and prior to the resurrection to preach to souls in "hell."' Is that what the New Testament teaches? Is this something original to the Apostles and what is called the "Apostles" Creed'? Did Jesus really die?

'The Catholic Encyclopedia' reported that in the first millennium of the Christian era, there were those who consider that the 'cross' would be the 'mark of the beast.'

Fires have hit many places, Significant wildfires have hit California. Shortly after the start of the Thomas Fire, California Governor Jerry Brown warned that US President did not have "the fear of the wrath of God." Does God use fire to encourage people to change?

The world is changing in many unsettling ways. Are the prophecies in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 coming to pass? Can the Great Tribulation begin in 2018? Does the 70th anniversary of the official founding of the State of Israel in 1948 suggest so? Some think so. What has Hal Lindsey said about 1948? What about the budding of a fig tree? How long is a generation? What are the signs and events

Instead of a celebration of a separation from Rome, many celebrated the 500 anniversary of Martin Luther's 95 theses as an ecumenical time to come together. Vatican, Eastern Orthodox, and and Protestant leaders made positive comments about the 500th anniversary. When does the Bible teach Christian unity is to come about? Is the ecumenical movement good or, instead consistent with something that Jesus warned about? Are Christians to come out of spiritual Babylon and be separate?
