InGrace with Jim Scudder

Two airline pilots got so absorbed in their new iPads that they drifted out of radio contact with air traffic control and flew past Minneapolis before a flight attendant noticed — what does that have to do with the throne room of God and crowns cast at His feet?

John is called up through an open door and sees a throne, a rainbow that circles it, and a voice like a trumpet — but before the description begins, Jim Scudder asks what three W's ought to hold up every believer's day, and it isn't the World Wide Web.

Tucked into Daniel chapter 9 is a prophecy of seventy weeks that Jim Scudder says settles the question of whether the church faces the tribulation — but why does he compare Israel to a pan moved to the back burner of God's stove — still waiting for the meal?

If the rapture happened in the middle or at the end of the tribulation, Jim Scudder says you could mark the date — so what does Jesus mean when He warns that no one knows the day, and that the Lord comes like a thief in the night?

In Jerusalem, Jim Scudder hears something startling from those who want the Jewish temple rebuilt: the blueprints are drawn, the quarries are close, the funding is pledged, and they claim it could be functioning within six months — so what has to happen first, and what follows once it does?
