1 Timothy 4:1-2,6 "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, ... If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed."

2 Timothy 4:1-5 "I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."

Titus 1:7, 9 "For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God, ... holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict."

1 Peter 5:4 "And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away."

Much of Jesus' teaching, including His parables, concerned His second coming to earth as King. His preaching can be summed up in the statement, "Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is near" (Matt. 4:17). This is the message He commanded His Apostles to preach to all the nations, after which the end will come (Matt. 24:14). His commands to be ready and watching must be taken seriously, now more than ever. His most frightening warning was directed toward the "servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season." This is certainly a reference to the "overseers" of the congregations who are charged with "feeding the flock." The servant who does not watch adequately for the Master's return, and does not give those under his charge the proper food at the proper time, is in for some real trouble. Jesus "will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matt. 24:45-51 & Luke 12:35-48).

Faithful Shepherds Bible Prophecy Seminars are designed to provide clear and concise direction to current and future "shepherds" of Jesus' flock. There is no attempt to hype up current events. Rather, our focus is on the nuts and bolts of prophetic revelation, straightforward, objective principles of interpretation, and the consistent application of these principles. The result will be a clear understanding of eschatology, so that you can do what you are called to do, preach "the Gosepl of the Kingdom," and give those under your care their proper food at the proper time.

Roger Samsel and Tim Warner will be the primary speakers. Together they have more than 35 years of intense study of Bible prophecy, and several years study of early Church history and the Biblical languages. Both men were brought up to believe dispensationalism and pretribulationism, and have abandoned both by consistently applying the methodology that pretribulationists profess, but do not follow consistently. You will be surprised how easy eschatology really is once you commit to an objective methodology, apply it consistently, and are willing to give up some cherished (but unbiblical) assumptions. Roger and Tim will demonstrate conclusively that a consistent application of the only truly objective method of interpretation (the grammatical - historical method), leads to only one conclusion. And they will prove historically that this was also the "orthodox" eschatological view of Christian Churches at the close of the Apostolic age.

There will be workshops for group discussion, and opportunities to question the speakers. The "Millennium," the timing of the rapture / resurrection, and the nature of "the Kingdom of God" will be discussed in detail. There will be teaching and discussion of how best to prepare God's people for the end times, and how to present these things to a local church that may not be entirely supportive.
