What does God have in store for you? What’s your future?<br />

What does He want to do in you, and through you?<br />

I want to share with you the journey that Rexella and I have been on<br />

together ... to reveal what God has taught us ... to share the astonishing<br />

miracles, and the phenomenal life-lessons ... and through this amazing true<br />

story, equip YOU for the most effective and rewarding life possible in these<br />

latter days!<br />

Our new video, Conflicts and Conquests, is literally unlike anything we<br />

have ever released down through the years — a once-in-a-lifetime presentation.<br />

It is an astonishing story — the real-life account of our actual experiences —<br />

including many inside details that we have never revealed before.<br />

You’re going to travel through time, and witness the birth of this<br />

worldwide soul-winning ministry. You’re going to experience hair-raising<br />

encounters with incredible characters. You’re going to see faith being<br />

born, and growing. And all along the way, you’re going to be able to<br />

relate personally — and glean valuable insights for your own spiritual<br />

journey and your prophetic future!<br />

Whatever God has done for us, He can do for you — because “God<br />

is no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34). You and Rexella and I will go<br />

on this fascinating expedition together — and I believe you’re going<br />

to have a dynamic encounter with God en route!<br />

Miracles will explode all around us! Your faith will soar!<br />

But perhaps most importantly of all, on this amazing road you<br />

will discover the life-changing truth about the inevitable conflicts<br />

of life ... how God brings victory out of difficult situations — to

empower and strengthen you!<br />

And there is no question in these times just<br />

before Christ returns; every child of God will need<br />

His strength in order to carry on!<br />

In Conflicts and Conquests, I’ll tell you the<br />

difficult truth about my youth — my humble<br />

beginnings as the son of an alcoholic nightclub<br />

entertainer. I’ll share the inside story about how<br />

God got a hold of my family. (This episode alone<br />

will give you renewed faith to believe God for the<br />

salvation of your own unsaved loved ones!) I’ll<br />

also take you with me as I support my family<br />

during hard times, as my father goes to college<br />

to prepare for the ministry after his conversion.<br />

You’ll “be there” as my parents leave for the<br />

mission field, leaving me behind, at seventeen<br />

years of age. (My father apologized as he<br />

departed saying: “Son, I can’t even give you a<br />

five-dollar bill.”) You’ll learn to lean on the<br />

promises of God just as I did!<br />

To help my parents financially overseas, I<br />

held just about every job one can imagine. From<br />

the age of 14, I used to stand on the street corners<br />

with the Detroit News, the Times, and the Free<br />

Press, shouting, “Extra! Extra! Read all about it!”<br />

Next I had 175 customers on multiple paper routes<br />

— I would ride my bicycle all over the area with<br />

an enormous, bulging load of newspapers. I also<br />

worked at a golf course, carrying bags for four<br />

golfers at a time on a cart. I worked at a fruit<br />

stand. I worked as an accordion teacher. With no<br />

car, I got around on a motor scooter! And I<br />

trusted God on the basis of Philippians 4:19: “But<br />

my God shall supply all your need according to<br />

his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” And He did!<br />

I’ll show you how God will also provide for you.<br />

You’ll also “be there” as I get my start in<br />

ministry, playing the accordion at Billy Graham<br />

services — and as God leads me to begin preaching.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re will be close calls — like when my finger<br />

was nearly cut off in an accident before a concert<br />

— and there will be opposition. (By preachers<br />

who said “Your sermons are too strong against<br />

sin!”) You’re going to see the good, the bad, and<br />

the ugly — Rexella and I “pull no punches” as we<br />

reveal the conflicts we have faced in life. None of<br />

us is exempt! Yet as Romans 8:28 declares, “And<br />

we know that all things work together for good<br />

to them that love God, to them who are the<br />

called according to his purpose.”<br />

I think you should know how other ministers<br />

arrayed themselves against my ministry, strongly<br />

urging me to “soften my message” And we show<br />

you, in this video, the supernatural results that<br />

God gave, as a result of my determination to say<br />

exactly what the Lord called me to say!<br />

Let me take you to the moment when we<br />

prayed and God stopped the rain on two<br />

miraculous occasions ... and when God spared<br />

Rexella from a brutal assassin during a crusade<br />

... and when God protected us from an influenza<br />

epidemic ...<br />

You’ll re-live the drama of numerous death<br />

threats as we ministered at home and overseas ...<br />

plus close calls on airplanes ... demonic attacks<br />

... vicious hecklers attempting to disrupt<br />

evangelistic crusades ...<br />

You’ll be there as Rexella almost dies after a<br />

horrific auto accident!<br />

And yet — you’ll also discover, as we have:<br />

Life is full of conflicts — but if you have the<br />

Lord in your life, He will give you the conquests<br />

as well!<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is plenty of<br />

laughter, too, in<br />

Conflicts and<br />

Conquests, because<br />

God has used humor<br />

to help Rexella and<br />

me to get through a<br />

number of tough<br />

situations: “A merry<br />

heart doeth good<br />

like a medicine”<br />

(Proverbs 17:22).<br />

Let me take you to that destiny-shaping<br />

crossroads where I first began memorizing<br />

Scriptures — and to our astounding encounter<br />

with President Marcos of the Philippines where<br />

thousands were saved — and to our ministry in<br />

communist countries — and to the leap from<br />

crusades to television!<br />

Your faith will deepen ... you will be inspired<br />

and strengthened spiritually ... through the lifetransforming<br />

principles expressed throughout<br />

Conflicts and Conquests. I hope you’ll request it<br />

as you support <strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> <strong>Ministries</strong> globally<br />

this month. As you witness the panorama of our<br />

own life experiences, I truly believe that your life<br />

will never be the same!

By Dr. Charles McVety<br />

Dr. <strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong><br />

A Gospel Giant with 2 Million Souls in His Account<br />

Over the years I have grown to know Dr. <strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> as a<br />

personal friend and as one of the spiritual giants of the Gospel.<br />

For sixty years, he has stead-fastly preached the Gospel to<br />

millions. Today we know him as a television preacher,<br />

broadcasting to every nation on earth.<br />

But for forty years Dr. <strong>Van</strong><br />

<strong>Impe</strong> preached 240<br />

citywide crusades and<br />

800 church crusades with more<br />

than 10 million people attending.<br />

Through television and in<br />

crusade preaching nearly 2<br />

million people accepted Christ<br />

as their personal Savior while<br />

listening to Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong>. <strong>The</strong><br />

reason Dr. <strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> is so<br />

successful at winning souls is<br />

that he adheres to the Bible<br />

and preaches the Blood, the<br />

Resurrection, the Power and<br />

anointing of the Holy Spirit and<br />

the Return of Jesus Christ.<br />

Many know Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> as<br />

the Walking Bible. Miraculously,<br />

he has memorized over 15,000<br />

verses of the 31,102 verses of<br />

the Bible. During every telecast,<br />

Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> quotes numerous<br />

scriptures as if he is reading a<br />

teleprompter. I have been in<br />

his studio and he uses no such<br />

device.<br />

At an early age, <strong>Jack</strong> heard<br />

the call to ministry and attended<br />

the Detroit Bible College. His<br />

professors encouraged him to<br />

memorize scripture. During his<br />

ordination service he recited<br />

500 scripture verses. I asked<br />

<strong>Jack</strong>, “why do you quote so<br />

many Scriptures”? He answered<br />

“the opinions of men are<br />

meaningless, it is the Word of<br />

God that wins every debate”.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n he quoted Hebrews 4:12,<br />

“For the word of God is quick,<br />

and powerful, and sharper than<br />

any two-edged sword, piercing<br />

even to the dividing asunder of<br />

soul and spirit, and of the joints<br />

and marrow, and is a discerner<br />

of the thoughts and intents of<br />

the heart.”<br />

One of <strong>Jack</strong>’s favorite<br />

passages is Hebrews 9:22<br />

“Without the shedding of blood<br />

there is no remission of sin.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Blood of Christ has been<br />

the centre of every sermon Dr.<br />

<strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> has delivered. Many<br />

preachers today are afraid to<br />

preach about sin and judgment;<br />

they fear such preaching may<br />

cause some to leave, a drop in<br />

popularity or even decreased<br />

collections. <strong>The</strong>y appear to<br />

pattern their ministry after Dr.<br />

Phil or Anthony Robbins rather<br />

than Jesus Christ, but not Dr.<br />

<strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong>. He recently pointed<br />

out to viewers that the Bible<br />

speaks of sin and judgment<br />

over 1,400 times, therefore we<br />

must preach the Blood in<br />

season or out as commanded<br />

by 2 Timothy 4:2-4 that says,<br />

“Preach the word; be instant in


8 | Perhaps Today | March-April 2008<br />

season, out of season; reprove,<br />

rebuke, exhort with all long<br />

suffering and doctrine. For the<br />

time will come when they will<br />

not endure sound doctrine; but<br />

after their own lusts shall they<br />

heap to themselves teachers,<br />

having itching ears; And they<br />

shall turn away their ears from<br />

the truth, and shall be turned<br />

unto fables.”<br />

His first public ministry<br />

was on the platform with Billy<br />

Graham at a Youth for Christ<br />

Rally in London, Ontario. At the<br />

age of 17, his parents moved to<br />

Belgium as missionaries and<br />

left young <strong>Jack</strong> alone to support<br />

himself and their missionary<br />

work. <strong>Jack</strong> worked hard as he<br />

sold newspapers on the corner,<br />

serviced paper routes, was a<br />

golf course caddy, fruit stand<br />

operator and accordion teacher.<br />

He learned that God’s Word<br />

was true when it says “My God<br />

shall supply all your needs”<br />

(Philippians 4:19).<br />

After working with Youth<br />

for Christ at many large events,<br />

God called <strong>Jack</strong> to step out<br />

and preach saying “woe is me<br />

if I preach not the Gospel” (1<br />

Corinthians 9:16). As he<br />

preached the resurrection of<br />

Jesus Christ many believed and<br />

gave their lives to the Lord.<br />

<strong>Jack</strong> proclaims Christ who said<br />

“And I, if I be lifted up from the<br />

earth, will draw all men unto<br />

me” (John 12:32). His church<br />

crusades began to grow in<br />

number and size filling some<br />

of the largest churches in the<br />

country,<br />

Hundreds of pastors called<br />

upon <strong>Jack</strong> to come and preach,<br />

so he started to gather churches<br />

together, city-by-city to hold<br />

larger events. God blessed his<br />

message as he remained faithful<br />

to the central focus of the<br />

Gospel, the shedding of the<br />

Blood and the Resurrection of<br />

Christ. For the next three<br />

decades, <strong>Jack</strong> and his wife<br />

Rexella ministered in 240 cities<br />

in every state filling arenas,<br />

coliseums and stadiums. In<br />

Hershey, Pennsylvania more<br />

than 10,000 people filled the<br />

stands every night and<br />

hundreds received Christ.<br />

His life changing message<br />

stirred many to protest as they<br />

did not like holiness preaching<br />

against alcohol, cigarettes,<br />

drugs and crime. Seven times<br />

the <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong>’s endured serious<br />

death threats but they stood on<br />

Isaiah 54:17 that promises: “No<br />

weapon that is formed against<br />

thee shall prosper.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lord protected the <strong>Van</strong><br />

<strong>Impe</strong>’s not only from the known<br />

threats, but also the unknown.<br />

After the last evening meeting<br />

of a crusade in Wichita Kansas,<br />

Rexella told <strong>Jack</strong> that she was<br />

tired and was going to slip out<br />

of the back after the invitation<br />

and go to the hotel to rest. She<br />

walked the 2 blocks to the<br />

hotel all alone and went to<br />

their room on the 7 th floor. Not<br />

long after that, she heard Dr.<br />

<strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> yelling out in the<br />

hallway. When he stepped out<br />

of the elevator on the 7 th floor<br />

he saw a man lying on the floor<br />

looking under the door where<br />

Rexella was. Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong><br />

grabbed him, picked him up off<br />

the floor and asked him what<br />

he was doing. <strong>The</strong> man said<br />

that he had come out of his<br />

room across the hall and must<br />

have fainted and that was<br />

where Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> found him.<br />

After he left the <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong>’s<br />

discovered that no one else<br />

was staying on the floor that<br />

night. <strong>The</strong>n in 2005 Dr. <strong>Van</strong><br />

<strong>Impe</strong> was reading the paper<br />

when he saw the picture of<br />

Dennis Rader, the BTK killer<br />

and he turned to Rexella and<br />

told her that he thought that this<br />

was the man who was looking<br />

under her door in Wichita.<br />

In Mark 16:15 Jesus said<br />

“Go ye into all the world, and<br />

preach the gospel to every<br />

creature.” Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong><br />

expanded his ministry overseas<br />

and preached under the Power<br />

of the Holy Spirit in more than<br />

50 countries. In Panama, the<br />

communist revolutionaries<br />

took over the country and<br />

threatened Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong>’s life.<br />

His meetings grew so large<br />

they had to move into the open<br />

air where Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> could<br />

have easily been shot. God<br />

protected them as they moved<br />

on to the Philippines where<br />

President Ferdinand Marcos<br />

gave approval for Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong><br />

to go into the Universities and<br />

minister to the youth. In just<br />

one month 6,514 new converts<br />

met Christ. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong>’s<br />

then moved on to Seoul, South


Korea and may other countries.<br />

Throughout his years as an<br />

Evangelist, Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> knew<br />

of the importance of preaching<br />

the Return of Christ. Jesus was<br />

a prophecy preacher therefore<br />

we must follow His example.<br />

Remember it was Christ that<br />

sent His angel to give the<br />

message of the book of<br />

Revelation to John (Revelation<br />

22:16). Jesus preached about<br />

His return in Matthew 24; Mark<br />

13, and in Luke 17 and 21. 1<br />

<strong>The</strong>ssalonians 4:18 tells us to<br />

comfort one another with the<br />

message of the Rapture. <strong>The</strong><br />

preaching of prophecy leads<br />

millions of souls to Christ<br />

every year therefore it must be<br />

proclaimed.<br />

After seeing over 1 million<br />

accept Christ, God spoke to Dr.<br />

<strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> in the late 80’s. He<br />

showed him how he could<br />

reach more souls for Christ on<br />

television than in crusades. <strong>The</strong><br />

average cost of a live crusade<br />

was $10 per attendee. Through<br />

television Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> could<br />

reach souls with the same<br />

message for less than 3 cents<br />

per person. Drs. <strong>Jack</strong> and<br />

Rexella made the decision to<br />

go on TV and then traveled to<br />

Belgium to see his relatives<br />

where the Devil tried to stop<br />

them. A bus went out of control<br />

and landed on their car. Dr. <strong>Van</strong><br />

<strong>Impe</strong> was shaken up but was<br />

okay. Rexella however was<br />

thrown from the car and lay<br />

unconscious on the pavement.<br />

<strong>Jack</strong> prayed for her survival<br />

and she awakened, but with<br />

serious injuries and broken<br />

bones.<br />

Three weeks later with her<br />

arm in a cast, Dr. <strong>Jack</strong> and<br />

Rexella began their television<br />

ministry. Today they are seen in<br />

every nation on the globe and<br />

they still deliver the life changing<br />

message of the Gospel of Jesus<br />

Christ.<br />

Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> still loves the<br />

Bible and obeys the verse that<br />

says “Study to show thyself<br />

approved unto God, a workman<br />

that needeth not to be ashamed,<br />

rightly dividing the word of<br />

Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). He has<br />

now studied God’s Word for<br />

over 100,000 hours and has read<br />

over 11,000 books. Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong><br />

reads 100 periodicals a week<br />

and one book per day. He has<br />

earned 4 doctorates and has<br />

received 13 honorary doctorates,<br />

including one from Canada<br />

Christian College in 2005.<br />

To this day Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong><br />

remains true to the Gospel.<br />

While other preachers focus<br />

March-April 2008 | Perhaps Today | 9<br />

Dear Dr.<strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong><br />

You threw me an anchor<br />

over and over again in the<br />

wee hours of the early<br />

morning..<br />

Dear Dr.<strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong><br />

Thank you for being such<br />

a hard-working servant<br />

that is willing to spread the<br />

Word of God to those who<br />

may have never heard or<br />

understood it.<br />

on positive thinking, seeker<br />

sensitive felt needs or<br />

motivational encouragement,<br />

Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> continues to keep<br />

to the Word and preach the<br />

cleansing power of the Blood<br />

of Christ, the miracle of the<br />

Resurrection of our Lord, and<br />

the blessed hope of the Return<br />

of Christ. Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> lifts<br />

Jesus Christ up and God has<br />

drawn over 2 million souls to<br />

His Son. He is still running the<br />

race and fighting the good fight<br />

of faith sixty years since he<br />

began. If you do the math it<br />

appears he began his ministry<br />

when he was 7, however, it is<br />

possible that he is older than 67.<br />

One day we will all be judged<br />

and held accountable for the<br />

opportunities God has given us<br />

to win souls. Some preachers<br />

will hear the Lord say “why do<br />

you call me Lord but you don’t<br />

do what I say” (Luke 6:46).<br />

Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> will surely hear<br />

the Lord say “Well done, good<br />

and faithful servant” (Matthew<br />

25:21).<br />

Dr. George McVety is president of<br />

Canada Christian College.


Drs. <strong>Jack</strong> and Rexella <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> reveal the truth<br />

“Our dear cat Fenica was a bright spot in<br />

my life,” says Dr. Rexella <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong>. “I was<br />

Does the technology for a universal, permanent I.D. marker exist today?!<br />

Drs. <strong>Jack</strong> and Rexella <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> give you the scriptural<br />

truth about the Mark of the Beast!<br />

Right now in Brussels,<br />

Belgium, two shadow<br />

organizations seem to be<br />

preparing the way for the<br />

rise of the antichrist and<br />

the mark of the beast. You<br />

and your family deserve<br />

to know the truth!<br />

• Could a universal I.D. mark be<br />

implanted in every human being,<br />

starting today?<br />

• Have men begun making computers in<br />

their own image — and was this<br />

predicted in the Bible?<br />

• What entity is powerful enough to<br />

mandate a global mark on every<br />

human — is a one-world government<br />

coming?<br />

• If the mark of the beast could be<br />

implemented today, does this mean<br />

the antichrist is already alive and<br />

waiting to assume power?<br />

• Will Christians be here for the<br />

administration of the 666 mark?<br />

Prepare yourself and your family with the facts of<br />

Bible prophecy, so you can be a beacon of hope<br />

“MIDEAST ATOMIC PROGRAMS<br />

APOCALYPTIC”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Jerusalem Post<br />

reports: “Egyptian and Saudi<br />

Arabian intentions to begin or<br />

revive their nuclear programs<br />

in the face of Iran’s continued<br />

race toward nuclear power<br />

present an ‘apocalyptic scenario’<br />

for Israel as well as for the rest<br />

of the world, Strategic Affairs<br />

Minister Avigdor Lieberman<br />

told <strong>The</strong> Jerusalem Post.<br />

Lieberman’s remarks came a<br />

week after Egyptian President<br />

Hosni Mubarak announced a<br />

decision to restart his country’s<br />

nuclear program… Iranian<br />

President Mahmoud<br />

Ahmadinejad announced that<br />

his country had begun<br />

operating 3,000 centrifuges for<br />

the enrichment of uranium.<br />

‘If Egypt and Saudi Arabia<br />

begin nuclear programs, this can<br />

bring an apocalyptic scenario<br />

upon us,’ Lieberman told the<br />

Post. ‘<strong>The</strong>ir intentions should<br />

be taken seriously and the<br />

declarations being made now<br />

are to prepare the world for<br />

when they decide to actually<br />

do it.’<br />

Lieberman also said Pakistan<br />

was a major threat to Israel<br />

due to the political instability<br />

there and the fact that the<br />

country had ‘missiles, nuclear<br />

weapons and a proven<br />

capability.’<br />

‘We hope there will be<br />

stability and the [Pakistani]<br />

nuclear weapons won’t fall into<br />

radical hands,’ he said. ‘If the<br />

Taliban or [al-Qaida leader<br />

Osama] bin Laden get control<br />

[of Pakistan] they will have<br />

nuclear weapons for terror use<br />

and they don’t hide their<br />

opinions about Israel.’<br />

Lieberman, whose office is<br />

in charge of coordinating Israel’s<br />

efforts against the Iranian<br />

threat, blasted International<br />

Atomic Energy Agency chief<br />

Mohamed ElBaradei as a major<br />

obstacle to the West’s efforts to<br />

impose further sanctions on<br />

Iran.<br />

‘He is part of the problem,<br />

not part of the solution,’<br />

Lieberman said. ‘ElBaradei’s<br />

behavior has not succeeded in<br />

solving anything like North<br />

Korea or Libya’s nuclear<br />

programs. And instead of<br />

criticizing Iran, he finds it right<br />

to criticize Israel.’<br />

Lieberman said ElBaradei<br />

was delaying the UN Security<br />

Council’s consideration of a<br />

new round of sanctions by not<br />

publishing the new IAEA<br />

report on the status of Iran’s<br />

nuclear program.<br />

‘<strong>The</strong>y [the IAEA and<br />

ElBaradei] are allowing Iran to<br />

stall for time and to launder its<br />

nuclear program,’ Lieberman<br />

said…” Warn the people<br />

(Ezekiel 3:17-19; Acts<br />

20:31).<br />

GEOLOGIST’S PROPHECY: HOLY<br />

LAND OVERDUE FOR A MAJOR<br />

EARTHQUAKE<br />

<strong>The</strong> World Tribune reports:<br />

“Based on 400-year historical<br />

cycles and the pattern of recent<br />

tremors, the Middle East should<br />

be expecting a major earthquake<br />

in the near future, a geologist<br />

said.<br />

A leading Israeli geologist<br />

has assessed that the Middle<br />

East, particularly, the Levant,<br />

was ripe for a major earthquake.<br />

<strong>The</strong> geologist based his forecast<br />

on seismological data as well<br />

as historical patterns.<br />

‘All of us in the region<br />

should be worried,’ Shmuel


14 | Perhaps Today | March-April 2008<br />

Marco, a geologist at Tel Aviv<br />

University, said.<br />

Seismologists have often<br />

warned of the prospect of a<br />

major earthquake in the Middle<br />

East. <strong>The</strong> Levant has undergone<br />

a series of serious tremors on<br />

the magnitude of five on the<br />

Richter Scale, but without<br />

causing significant damage.<br />

On Nov. 20, an earthquake<br />

measuring 5.1 on the Richter<br />

Scale shook Israel and Jordan.<br />

<strong>The</strong> earthquake, whose epicenter<br />

was in the area of the Dead Sea,<br />

did not cause major damage.<br />

Marcos, a member of Tel<br />

Aviv University’s Department<br />

of Geophysics and Planetary<br />

Sciences, has sought to predict<br />

the next major earthquake in<br />

the Levant through historical<br />

examination. <strong>The</strong> geologist has<br />

examined ancient records from<br />

the Vatican and other religious<br />

sources in his research.<br />

<strong>The</strong> major earthquakes in<br />

the Levant took place along the<br />

Jordan Valley. Earthquakes<br />

were reported in 31 BCE, 363<br />

CE, 749 CE and 1033 CE.<br />

‘So roughly, we are talking<br />

about an interval of every 400<br />

years,’ Marcos said. ‘If we follow<br />

the patterns of nature, a major<br />

quake should be expected any<br />

time because almost a whole<br />

millennium has passed since the<br />

last strong earthquake of 1033.’<br />

Based on history, Marcos<br />

predicts a major earthquake<br />

that would affect Israel, Jordan,<br />

Palestinian Authority and Syria.<br />

He said the sites important to<br />

Christianity, Islam and Judaism<br />

could be particularly<br />

vulnerable…” Revelation 16:18<br />

might be fulfilled at Christ’s<br />

return upon the Mount of<br />

Olives (Zechariah 14:4).<br />

AHMADINEJAD: ISRAEL WILL NOT LAST<br />

YnetNews.com reports: “Iranian President Mahmoud<br />

Ahmadinejad predicted that Israel would not survive, as<br />

he lashed out at the US-hosted conference seeking to<br />

relaunch the Middle East peace process.<br />

‘It is impossible that the Zionist regime can last,’ the<br />

government mouthpiece website of state broadcasting<br />

quoted Ahmadinejad as saying in a cabinet meeting.<br />

‘Deterioration is in the nature of this regime as it has<br />

been built on aggression, lying, crime and wrongdoing,’<br />

he added.<br />

He said the meeting uniting Israeli and Palestinian<br />

leaders in Annapolis, Maryland has ‘failed already and<br />

was stillborn. It lacked the cornerstones of effective<br />

political work’.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Islamic republic - which has made non-recognition<br />

of Israel one of its main ideological themes - has been<br />

left isolated by the attendance at the meeting of Saudi<br />

Arabia and its chief regional ally Syria…” Israel will<br />

last forever as the angel Gabriel informed the<br />

Virgin Mary (Luke 1:32,33) [Jacob]. Jacob changes<br />

his name to Israel “Jacob whom he named Israel”<br />

(II Kings 17:34).

A<br />

By Dr. Rexella <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong><br />

PEACE<br />

IN A<br />

TROUBLED<br />

WORLD<br />

In the light of all that is going<br />

on in our world today it may<br />

sound strange to hear that you<br />

can have peace in a troubled<br />

world. In our beloved country<br />

everyday we have:<br />

• 10 teens commit suicide<br />

• 135,000 teens bring a gun to school<br />

• 7,742 teens become sexually active<br />

• 2,705 teen girls get pregnant<br />

• 1,106 teen girls have abortions<br />

• 211 teens are arrested for drug abuse<br />

• 437 teens are arrested for drinking or<br />

drunk driving<br />

• 623 teens get a sexually transmitted<br />

disease<br />

• 1,512 teens drop out of school<br />

• 1,629 teens are in adult jails


As shocking as this is, it is<br />

not only a national dilemma, but<br />

also a global plague. Jesus knew<br />

this situation would engulf the<br />

entire world prior to His return<br />

by prophesying that “iniquity<br />

would abound” but He added<br />

“Let not your heart be troubled”.<br />

What did He mean by this<br />

reassuring statement of comfort?<br />

I want to let you in on the<br />

greatest truth I know. Everything<br />

I can say about real peace is<br />

centered in this fact. Without it,<br />

none of us can ever be genuinely<br />

at rest.<br />

This truth has transformed<br />

millions of people throughout<br />

the history of the world. It has<br />

made derelicts into saints,<br />

hypocrites into godly men and<br />

women, and sinners into children<br />

of God. It is the truth of salvation<br />

in Jesus Christ.<br />

<strong>The</strong> greatest spiritual truth<br />

of all is what God has done to<br />

redeem us from our sin. By giving<br />

His Son to die in our place, God<br />

has paid the price of our sin<br />

and is able to save us from the<br />

bondage and dissatisfaction<br />

that comes with it.<br />

Let me clearly say that I am<br />

not speaking of religion. Many<br />

people who are religious know<br />

nothing about salvation. Religion<br />

is of human origin, and it almost<br />

always requires that we do<br />

something. God’s salvation,<br />

however, is entirely His work<br />

You do not have to work<br />

to make yourself righteous.<br />

You do not have to become deserving of God’s<br />

grace. All the work has been done by God<br />

Himself, and He offers His grace freely to those<br />

who will receive it by faith!<br />

on our behalf. It requires<br />

absolutely nothing, since God<br />

has already accomplished all<br />

that is necessary. Our part is to<br />

simply accept it by faith.<br />

What sin does to us<br />

Some may have difficulty<br />

realizing the fact that all of us<br />

are sinners. Yes, we all know<br />

people who are good, moral,<br />

honest, generous, thoughtful<br />

human beings. Surely they are<br />

not sinners — are they?<br />

From God’s perspective, the<br />

answer is “yes.” Because His<br />

standard is absolute holiness —<br />

one hundred percent perfection<br />

— the issue is not how many<br />

sins we commit or what kind of<br />

sins we commit, but if we have<br />

sinned at all. And Scripture is<br />

clear that none of us can honestly<br />

say we have never chosen to do<br />

wrong: “For all have sinned,<br />

and come short of the glory of<br />

God” (Romans 3:23).<br />

In the presence of absolute<br />

holiness, even the smallest sin<br />

is as offensive and out of place<br />

as the darkest, most heinous<br />

act of evil one can imagine.<br />

Because God is so completely<br />

holy and uncompromisingly<br />

righteous, He cannot permit sin<br />

to exist in His presence. And<br />

the only just penalty for sin is<br />

death, “For the wages of sin is<br />

death” (Romans 6:23).<br />

But just as God is holy,<br />

righteous, and just, Scripture<br />

also informs us that He is a God<br />

of mercy and love. Because of<br />

His great love for us, He does not<br />

wish to condemn us without<br />

mercy. Since in His righteousness<br />

He cannot simply overlook sin,<br />

He found a way that He could<br />

make us righteous without<br />

compromising His own holiness.<br />

However, it cost Him the sacrifice<br />

of His Son!<br />

Perhaps the most familiar<br />

verse in all of Scripture is John<br />

3:16, “For God so loved the<br />

world, that he gave his only<br />

begotten Son, that whosoever<br />

believeth in him should not<br />

perish, but have everlasting<br />

life.” That verse, more than any<br />

other, has opened people’s eyes<br />

to the truth of God’s salvation<br />

and the way to real satisfaction.<br />

Salvation explained<br />

What this all means is that<br />

you do not have to earn God’s<br />

approval. You do not have to<br />

work to make yourself righteous.<br />

You do not have to become<br />

deserving of God’s grace. All<br />

the work has been done by God<br />

Himself, and He offers His<br />

grace freely to those who will<br />

receive it by faith!<br />

Nothing gives a greater


20 | Perhaps Today | March-April 2008<br />

<strong>The</strong> only thing any of us<br />

can point to that makes us<br />

acceptable to God<br />

is the work of Jesus Christ on our behalf. We<br />

must simply trust Him with childlike faith and<br />

receive His gift of eternal life.<br />

sense of personal worth than<br />

the truth that God loves us so<br />

much that He gave His Son to<br />

pay the price for our sins. And<br />

nothing on earth brings more<br />

complete satisfaction than the<br />

confidence of knowing you are<br />

secure in God’s salvation.<br />

May I ask you some important<br />

personal questions? What are<br />

you counting on to make<br />

yourself acceptable to God? If<br />

you were to stand before Him<br />

and give an account of your life,<br />

what could you point to that<br />

might make you acceptable to<br />

Him? Would it be your own<br />

works of righteousness? I hope<br />

not, because Isaiah 64:6 says,<br />

“all our righteousnesses are as<br />

filthy rags.” God cannot accept<br />

works of righteousness from<br />

unrighteous people. Would you<br />

point to your heritage?<br />

Scripture is clear that salvation<br />

is not anyone’s birthright. In<br />

fact, Jesus said, “Except a man<br />

be born again, he cannot see<br />

the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).<br />

<strong>The</strong> only thing any of us can<br />

point to that makes us acceptable<br />

to God is the work of Jesus<br />

Christ on our behalf. We must<br />

simply trust Him with childlike<br />

faith and receive His gift of<br />

eternal life (see Romans 6:23).<br />

Be sure<br />

How grateful I am that I was<br />

privileged to grow up in a<br />

Christian home. My parents,<br />

two brothers (Bob and Don),<br />

and I attended a fine church,<br />

and Christianity was our way of<br />

life. By age 5, I was singing in<br />

church and even introducing my<br />

own songs. I loved performing<br />

in church services and felt good


March-April 2008 | Perhaps Today | 21<br />

about almost everything in my<br />

life during those early years.<br />

As a little girl, I was impressed<br />

with the importance of telling<br />

others about Jesus. In grade<br />

school, I received permission to<br />

read a Bible story to my class<br />

each day. When I reached junior<br />

high, I witnessed to my<br />

classmates often and invited<br />

many of them to the services<br />

and activities of my church.<br />

Entering high school, I<br />

maintained a positive outward<br />

witness because I loved this<br />

way of life. Still, deep within, I<br />

began to sense that all was not<br />

well in my relationship with God.<br />

Sometimes during those years<br />

serious doubts about my<br />

salvation entered my mind and<br />

my soul. However, I simply<br />

brushed them aside as<br />

groundless. After all, I had<br />

known about the Lord all my<br />

life, and a great part of my time<br />

was occupied in church<br />

activities.<br />

<strong>The</strong> moment of truth came<br />

during a Sunday evening<br />

service at our church. I was<br />

almost 17, and I was asked to<br />

be the soloist for that very<br />

service. My pastor spoke with<br />

his usual Biblical soundness,<br />

enthusiasm and earnestness,<br />

and although following my solo<br />

I had taken a seat in the rear of<br />

the auditorium, I was well<br />

within reach of the convicting<br />

power of the Holy Spirit.<br />

Before the pastor had<br />

finished his message, I was<br />

aware of my need to trust Christ<br />

as my personal Savior. Unable<br />

to retain my composure, I left<br />

the auditorium and headed for<br />

my parents’ car to be alone.<br />

Seeing my abrupt exit and<br />

tears, my father followed me to<br />

his car and asked “Rexella what<br />

is wrong?”<br />

“Oh, Dad,” I sobbed, “I’ve<br />

deceived my own heart. I’ve<br />

deceived the pastor and you and<br />

our whole church. I have known<br />

about the Lord all my life, but I<br />

don’t really know Him.”<br />

It was a difficult and<br />

emotional moment for my<br />

father — but with wisdom and<br />

love he handled my moment of<br />

decision scripturally and with<br />

compassion. Resisting the<br />

temptation to sooth my<br />

feelings, he tenderly advised,<br />

“Be sure, Rexella.”<br />

A few weeks later, my older<br />

brother (whom I had always<br />

admired and respected for his<br />

consistent Christian life)<br />

learned of my soul’s distress<br />

when he heard me crying in my<br />

room. He knelt beside me and<br />

tenderly led me through God’s<br />

plan of salvation. Although I<br />

Since He has<br />

forgiven me<br />

and paid the price for<br />

my sins with the blood<br />

of His own Son, I know<br />

I have nothing to fear.<br />

Dear Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong><br />

I really enjoyed the<br />

testimony by Rexella in<br />

your recent newsletter. It<br />

was very uplifting and<br />

encouraging to me.<br />

had known all these facts for<br />

years, I had never applied<br />

them. Now I knew I could not<br />

wait any longer. <strong>The</strong>re in my<br />

bedroom I lost all of my religion<br />

and took Jesus Christ as my<br />

personal Savior and Lord. At<br />

last I was sure of my salvation.<br />

What a tremendous sense of<br />

freedom and peace filled my<br />

soul! Joy and contentment<br />

became my daily experience,<br />

and since that day I have never<br />

been uncertain about my<br />

standing before God. Since He

One of the most powerful<br />

promises of the Bible<br />

is that, once you have become God’s child,<br />

He will never leave you or forsake you.<br />

Dear Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong><br />

I loved reading Rexella’s<br />

beautiful thoughts on taking<br />

the time to look and listen<br />

to the things that our Lord<br />

has forgiven me and paid the<br />

price for my sins with the blood<br />

of His own Son, I know I have<br />

nothing to fear. When I sing, or<br />

serve God in any way (on our<br />

TV program) it is for His glory<br />

and not for the praise of men.<br />

His grace and love to me are<br />

more satisfying than any amount<br />

of money, prestige, or human<br />

recognition could ever be.<br />

<strong>The</strong> great transition<br />

One of the most powerful<br />

promises of the Bible is that,<br />

once you have become God’s<br />

child, He will never leave you<br />

or forsake you (see Hebrews<br />

13:5). Jesus himself said in John<br />

6:37, “him that cometh to me I<br />

will in no wise [for any reason]<br />

cast out.” And at no time during<br />

one’s life will the knowledge<br />

and comfort of this blessed<br />

promise be more satisfying and<br />

assuring than at the hour though<br />

which each of us must one day<br />

pass — the hour of death.<br />

I know from personal<br />

experience what it is like to face<br />

death and then to be spared by<br />

the omnipotent hand of God. I<br />

have also seen, from a human<br />

perspective, the completion of<br />

this transition in the lives of<br />

children of God who were very<br />

near and dear to me — my<br />

father and mother. <strong>The</strong>refore, I<br />

can tell you truthfully and<br />

experientially that there is no<br />

greater peace — both for the<br />

one who is passing and those<br />

who are left behind — than to<br />

know that when a believer’s life<br />

on earth ends, he is immediately<br />

ushered into the presence of<br />

Jesus for all eternity.<br />

Our Blessed Hope<br />

I love this time of the year!<br />

Spring ushers in with great<br />

enthusiasm and beauty the<br />

celebration of Easter. Spring is<br />

a time of re-birth, a time of the<br />

earth awakening from a long<br />

Winter’s sleep. Easter is a time<br />

of celebration of our Lord’s<br />

victory over sin and death. Each<br />

the sacrifice of Jesus and His<br />

death on the Cross, His burial,<br />

and then three days later His<br />

glorious Resurrection.<br />

It is because of His<br />

Resurrection that we have<br />

hope. <strong>The</strong> Apostle Paul<br />

expressed this so beautifully in<br />

I Corinthians 15. I especially<br />

love verses 55-57 “O death,<br />

where is thy sting? O grave,<br />

where is thy victory? <strong>The</strong> sting<br />

of death is sin; and the strength<br />

of sin is the law. But thanks be<br />

to God, which giveth us the<br />

victory through our Lord Jesus<br />

Christ.”<br />

created and how we only<br />

need to walk outside our<br />

doors because it’s all<br />

around us whether in the<br />

city or in the country. Every<br />

time I hear the birds chirp I<br />

know they’re praising the<br />

Lord and it makes me<br />

smile. Thank you for being<br />

such a blessing in my life. I<br />

see Jesus in you and that<br />

makes me smile too.<br />

In these days of turmoil,<br />

trouble, and seemingly no<br />

definitive answers to global<br />

problems we can most assuredly<br />

have an everlasting peace in<br />

knowing God is in control and a<br />

better time is coming. It is a<br />

deep soul contentment that<br />

does not fall apart when leaders<br />

of the world forget their peace<br />

negotiations. But because of<br />

His presence in our hearts<br />

resulting from our faith in His<br />

sacrifice on Calvary and His<br />

Resurrection over death we<br />

have a guaranteed peace today<br />

and an eternal life with Him<br />

tomorrow.

Word of God is truly awesome. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />

no program like it on television. You and<br />

Rexella make a perfect team. Your<br />

Thank you for your faithful<br />

ministry which has brought me<br />

for the first time to a place of<br />

peace with my Savior. You<br />

made me see my life through<br />

God’s eyes, and I have been<br />

filled with a desire to be<br />

obedient to Him. I pray for you<br />

each day and can never<br />

express what your ministry has<br />

done for me.<br />

L.H.<br />

Ellensburg, WA<br />

I just wanted to tell you<br />

how much I look forward to<br />

getting your newsletters. I am<br />

eagerly awaiting the coming of<br />

Christ when I will be able to sit<br />

at the feet of our great King! I<br />

turned my life over to Him six<br />

years ago. I was on drugs and<br />

in the mud when I called out<br />

for help. Our great Father<br />

reached down and lifted me up<br />

and has been with me ever<br />

since. Praise God for your<br />

wonderful ministry.<br />

When I was in my darkest<br />

times I can remember being<br />

sleepless, filled with<br />

depression and anxiety, and<br />

hanging onto my faith by a<br />

thread. I would flip through the<br />

channels… I still remember the<br />

word of God jumping out of the<br />

TV and into my ears as you<br />

quoted the word of God in<br />

every sentence. I could see the<br />

face of a true man preaching a<br />

message of warning and hope. I<br />

felt like all my payers and<br />

searching had finally been<br />

answered by hearing and<br />

seeing a man whom the mighty<br />

power of the Holy Spirit was<br />

using to reach the hopeless lost<br />

souls in that moment. I was<br />

one of them. Praise God I’m<br />

free! Thank you for your<br />

obedience to the Lord.<br />

Last night I was reading<br />

your book, 11:59 <strong>The</strong><br />

Countdown, when I received a<br />

phone call from my son<br />

Joseph, who is in jail. At that<br />

very moment my son said he<br />

was also reading a Christian<br />

book that someone, out of<br />

nowhere, had given him to<br />

read. He was reading a book<br />

written by you sir, <strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Van</strong><br />

<strong>Impe</strong>. He then told me that<br />

your book inspired him about<br />

Jesus and he wanted to let me<br />

know right away, because he<br />

also didn’t know how your<br />

book came into his hands, as<br />

the person was gone. All this<br />

happened during his hour of<br />

need for Jesus. I am convinced<br />

that an angel of the Lord could<br />

have been the only one who<br />

delivered your message to him.<br />

Praise the Lord for your<br />

message of hope and faith<br />

through Jesus Christ. Thank<br />

you and may the Lord bless<br />

you all.<br />

How wonderful to know<br />

that heaven awaits us. I’m so<br />

thankful to you, Rexella, and<br />

your husband, Dr. <strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Van</strong><br />

<strong>Impe</strong> for reaching out to the<br />

lost souls of the world. I know<br />

Jesus is coming very soon; it is<br />

evident in everything going on<br />

all around us. I have been<br />

watching your show for a very<br />

long time. In the 80’s I went to<br />

one of your appearances in<br />

Colorado. That was when I first<br />

made a change in my life. I<br />

used to go out partying every<br />

weekend and sometimes drank<br />

so much I didn’t know how I<br />

made it home. My husband and<br />

I both gave our hearts to the<br />

Lord at the same time. We now<br />

have been married for 38 happy<br />

years. Praise God! I am so<br />

thankful to you and <strong>Jack</strong> for<br />

being a part of the change in<br />

my life. You made me see so<br />

many things I never knew.<br />

• A modern financial forecasting computer program<br />

• Native American Hopis<br />

• Ancient Mayan civilization<br />

final year of human history — and in their new<br />
