A Reason For Hope with Pastor Scott Richards! Sharing the Word one question of the heart at a time. Tags: Prophecy Update, Dispensationalism, and Sinless Perfection

FINALLY! All Trevor's questions will be answered!*Almost a year ago, our friend Trevor became obsessed with the red heifers raised in Texas and flown to Israel for the inauguration of a new Temple. wtf is going on???Join Matt and Joe as Joe struggles to explain a weird non-scholarly way to interpret biblical prophecies that he doesn't know anything about. What are the dispensations? Where does the Rapture come from? Why do so many people think we're living in the end of the world???And why do we need some red cows to get there?Only one way to find out...Follow us on ⁠Twitter⁠ or ⁠Bluesky⁠ and support us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Nick Hatton one last time to discuss the lengths a mature disciple will go in obedience to God and submission to his Great Commission. 

Someone told me a public Christian speaker claimed that the Rothschilds had nothing to do with the formation of Israel. I have several proofs that show he is wrong. In this episode we recite the petitions of the Rothschild family for a separate nation for Jewish people in Palestine and the policies that went towards making it happen. We also tell where the Christian doctrine of Pretribulation Rapture and a 7 year tribulation comes from.Go to my website to see the documents.

Executive Pastor, Dr. Stephen Trammell, shares that the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30 reveals how believers can live meaningfully while anticipating Christ's return. God entrusts each person with resources according to their abilities, expecting faithful stewardship rather than fearful inaction. Two servants doubled their investments through wise action, while one buried his talent out of fear and misunderstanding of his master's character. Faithfulness requires both faith and action across all areas of life - finances, relationships, health, and spiritual growth. God will reward those who prove faithful during this time between Christ's first and second coming. Your belief determines where you spend eternity, but your behavior determines how you spend eternity.

In Revelation 11, we read about two figures who show up near the end of the world and prophesy about God in Jerusalem.Revelation 11:3 says - "And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth."These mysterious two men are never named, and that's resulted in 2000 years now of speculation as to their identities.They demonstrate supernatural powers, such as the ability to call down fire from heaven, bringing plagues upon the earth, and they even die and rise again- and it's all gonna be on TikTok. The whole world is going to be clued in on what these guys are doing and saying.But who are they? Let's study and speculate about these two superstuds of the end times - today on the God and His Prophets podcast.Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcastsNeed to get in touch with me?

Introduction I remember the first time I sat down to read the book of Revelation. It was the summer of 1992a pleasant Pennsylvania eveningsitting on the back patio of the small house where I spent my teenage years. That night, I read all twenty-two chapters in one sitting. Early on, I underlined a verse that encouraged me:Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy(Rev. 1:3). Those words felt like a promisethat something good awaited anyone willing to step into this book. But as I kept reading, I grew more and more confusedespecially when I reached chapter 6. The imagery became overwhelming, the questions multiplied, and when I finished, I had only highlighted a handful of verses. That night marked both my introduction to Revelation and the limits of my confidence in ita confidence that, for many years, did not grow much beyond that patio chair. Part of the reason I read Revelation in the first place had to do with a movie I watched with my friends calledA Thief in the Night, which focused on what theologians call the rapturethe belief that believers will be caught up to meet Christ in connection with a future tribulation. Passages like 1 Corinthians 15 and 1 Thessalonians 4 are often cited in support of this view. For the sake of time, we read just the words from 1 Thessalonians:The Lord himself will descend from heaven and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words (v. 16). Because the wordrapturedoes not appear in the Bible, many people encounter it through popular books and films, such as theLeft Behindseries. Those works helped popularize one particular way of reading prophetic textsknown as dispensationalismwhich has had a significant influence on American evangelical churches. Dispensationalism is one of several interpretive approaches Christians have used to read Revelation, and it developed in the nineteenth century before spreading widely through conferences, study Bibles, and evangelical institutions. My own thinking as a new Christian was deeply shaped by this framework. I share that not to critique my past, but to be honest about the lenses I brought with me as I opened this bookand the lenses many of us bring with us still. Its also important to know that dispensationalism is not the only way Christians have read Revelation. Throughout church history, believers have approached this book in several major ways:Preterist,Historicist, andIdealistreadings. Faithful Christians have held each of these views while confessing the same gospel and worshiping the same Lord. That diversity of interpretation is not new. In fact, G. K. Chesterton once observed,Though St. John the Evangelist saw many strange monsters in his vision, he saw no creature so wild as one of his own commentators.[1] How to Read Revelation Today When I began myRevelation and Its Parallelsproject, I heard a simple statementone Ive never been able to trace to a single sourcethat has guided everything since:Revelation cannot mean for us what it did not first mean for John and the first-century church.That sentence has served as a compass for my book, my preparation for this sermon, and every message in this series. I believe this principle is confirmed by Revelation 1:3, where we are given one of the clearest clues for how this book is meant to be read:Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.This is the first of seven blessings in Revelation,[2] and it was originally spoken to seven real churches that existed in history. That blessing was not abstract or theoreticalit was given to ordinary believers gathered in local congregations. To read Revelation rightly, we must first recognize that it is aletterwritten to seven churches. At the same time, it is alsoapocalypticfrom the Greekapokalypsis, meaning unveiling. Apocalyptic literature communicates truth through visions and symbolic language, revealing heavenly realities that are normally hidden from everyday sight. It invites us to question the assumption that appearances always reflect reality. What seems powerful and permanent by earthly standards may already be exposed as temporary when seen from heavens perspective. What does that mean for us today? Revelation was writtentofirst-century churches, but it was writtenforthe church in every generation. It speaks across time, culture, and ethnic boundaries precisely because it first spoke clearly and meaningfully to the first-century church. And one of the clearest ways John teaches us to read this book is through the careful and consistent use of numbersespecially the number seven. Let me show you what I mean. Reading Revelation Through Its Use of Numbers There are a series of numbers that you must be aware of that are used throughout the Bible. When you are trying to figure out what those numbers mean, you MUST understand how those numbers are used throughout the Bible. So, the important numbers you need to be aware are 3, 4, 7, 10, 12, 24, 3 (also 42 months, and 1260 days), and 1000. I have a whole chapter in the beginning of my book on the use of numbers in the book of Revelation, but for now let me highlight why this is important without getting into the weeds. The Number Seven The most predominant number used throughout the book of Revelation is the number seven. Many people associate seven with judgmentbut Revelation begins withseven churches, not seven disasters (Rev. 13). Before Christ judges the world, He walks among His churches, knows them by name, commends their faithfulness, and calls them to endurance. Throughout Revelation, the number seven consistently communicatesdivine completenessthe fullness of Gods purposeful and perfect work. There are not only seven churches, but alsothe seven Spirits of God. The seven Spirits are before Gods throne (Rev. 1:4) and are sent out into all the earth (Rev. 5:6). John is drawing on the imagery ofZechariah 4, where the emphasis is not on multiple spirits, but on thefullness of Gods Spirit at work. John is not describing seven distinct spirits, but the complete, sevenfold Spirit of the Lord. Each time we encounter this phrase, we should hear the echo of Zechariah 4:6:Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts. In Revelation 5, John is told,Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals(v. 5). Then something that happens often in Revelation occurs: John hears one thing, but when he turns to see, he sees something unexpected. In verse 6 he seesa Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes.Jesus is the Lamb. The seven horns do not describe physical features, butcomplete authority, since horns symbolize power. The seven eyes representperfect knowledgethe Lamb fully knows His people and their suffering. Throughout Revelation there is a scroll withseven seals, followed byseven trumpetsandseven bowlsof wrath. But here is what often surprises people: there are alsoseven blessings, sometimes called the seven beatitudes of Revelation. So let me ask this question: if the number seven is used everywhere else in the book to communicate a real and meaningful theological truth, why would we assume it functions differently when applied to a period of suffering often called the tribulation? The number seven is even applied toevil powersnot to suggest their equality with God, but to show how evil attempts tomimicthe completeness that belongs to God alone. Even then, its power is borrowed and its end is certain. We will return to the number seven again at the end of the sermon. The Number Three The number three is also an important number in Revelation. It does not appear as obviously or as frequently as the number seven, but it is woven throughout the book in meaningful ways. We see it immediately in Revelation 1:4, where John writes: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. In the Greek, John begins very simply and deliberately:from the One who is, and who was, and who is coming.[3]This threefold description refers to the Father and emphasizes His faithful presence across all of timepast, present, and future. Before Revelation introduces conflict, judgment, or suffering, it grounds the church in the identity of the eternal God. Heres the encouragement: before Revelation tells uswhatwill happen, it tells uswhoGod is. The book does not begin with fear, but with divine testimonya settled assurance that the God who was faithful in the past is present now and will remain faithful in what is yet to come. Before Revelation confronts the church with suffering, it anchors the church in the faithful, triune God who speaks with one unified voice. The Number Four After Revelation reveals the nature of God, it shifts focus to encompass all of creation and its relationship to Him. In the Bible, the number four frequently symbolizes the entirety of the created worldrepresenting the total extent of Gods handiwork. By utilizing this number, Revelation emphasizes that Johns vision is not limited to a specific location or group, but instead embraces the whole of creation. We see this in Revelation 4 with the four living creatures who surround the throne of God (Rev. 4:6-8). Have you ever thought about the way they are described? The first living creature had the appearance like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third was like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight. Taken together, the point is that the entire created order is made to worship the One who is on the throne. God rules over creation! So when you read in Revelation about the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the four corners of the earth, the four winds, know that what is being referred to is the whole created world. One of my favorite places the number 4 is used is in Revelation 5:9-10 regarding the song that the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders sing: Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth. Jesus ransomed a people for God 1) from every tribe, 2) from every language, 3) from every people, and 4) from every nation. The Numbers Twelve and Twenty-Four The numbertwelverepresents the people of God. In the Old Testament, it refers to the twelve tribes of Israel, and in the New Testament, to the twelve apostles. Scripture consistently uses twelve to communicate that Gods people are known, formed, and established by His saving work. As Paul reminds us in Ephesians 2, Gods people are being built together on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone (Eph. 2:1922). In Revelation, the numberstwelveandtwenty-fourfunction together to identify the people of God as a unified whole. Twelve signals Gods covenant people, and twenty-four brings that picture to completion. In Revelation 4 and 5, John seestwenty-four eldersseated around the thronetwelve representing Gods people under the old covenant and twelve under the newtogether, at rest, and worshiping. The emphasis here is not on calculation, but on reassurance. Revelation is not telling us how many belong to God; it is assuring us thatallwho belong to Him are gathered, secure, and present with Himnot one is missing. The Number 1000 A final number worth mentioning isone thousand. Like the other numbers weve seen, Revelation does not use one thousand to satisfy curiosity or to function as a precise chronological measurement. Throughout Scripture, the number one thousand often communicates theall-encompassing scopeof Gods work and promises. We see this clearly in the Old Testament. Psalm 50:10 says,For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.The point is not that God owns exactly one thousand hills and no more. The psalmist is using the number to say thateverything belongs to God. One thousand functions as a way of expressing abundance and totality, not limitation. That same use of the number helps us understand Revelations reference to144,000. This number is not meant to be decoded, but understood. Twelve tribes multiplied by twelve apostles, multiplied by one thousand, forms a picture of thecomplete people of God, fully known, fully gathered, and fully secure. The emphasis is not on how many are counted, but on the assurance thatno one is missing. In the same way, when Revelation later speaks of a period described as a thousand years, the focus is not on constructing a timeline, but on affirming that Gods purposes arefull, complete, and lacking nothing. In Revelation, one thousand does not tell ushow longGod reignsit tells ushow completelyHe reigns. Conclusion Now, back to the number seven. One of the most startling discoveries I madeone that truly floored mecame as I traced the biblical parallels shaping the book of Revelation. As I worked through both the Old and New Testaments, I began to see a repeated pattern suggesting that Revelation is intentionally structured in a particular way. As I sketched out what I was seeing, that structure took shape as aheptagon, reflecting seven distinct yet interconnected perspectives. At the same time, I noticed that Revelation consistently moves toward a single, overarching theme:a new Eden, infinitely better than the firstwhere redemption reaches its climax in the new heaven and new earth. I also became convinced that theseven Jewish feastshelp govern the movement of the book. As you can see in the diagram, Revelation is designed to be read fromseven different vantage points, much like the four Gospels present Jesus from four complementary perspectives. What this prepares us to see is that Revelation is not laid out like a straight timeline moving neatly from beginning to end. Instead, John repeatedly returns to the same redemptive realitiessometimes from the perspective of the church, sometimes from heaven, sometimes through judgment, and sometimes through worshipeach time helping us see more clearly what is already true. You may have noticed the small slinky on your seat this morning. I put those there intentionally. A slinky doesnt move forward in a straight lineit advances by looping back over itself. And in many ways, thats how Revelation works. The book moves forward by returning again and again to the same redemptive realities, each time from a different vantage point. Thats what I mean when I talk about therecapitulatory natureof Revelationand thats what thisseven-fold vantage point diagramis designed to help us see. Rather than presenting a single, forward-moving sequence of events, Revelation shows us the same story from seven different angles, each one reinforcing the same central truth:God reigns, the Lamb has conquered, and His people are secure. This diagram isnt meant to flatten Revelation or oversimplify it. Its meant to help us see how its visions relate to one anotherhow seals, trumpets, bowls, and worship scenes are not competing timelines, but recurring perspectives on the same unfolding reality. Revelation isnt a puzzle to be solved, but a picture book meant to be seen. When we view it from heavens perspective, it becomes a source of assurance rather than confusion. Its purpose is not to challenge us with riddles, but to steady our faith, strengthen our hearts, and draw us into worship of the Lamb. [1] G. K. Chesterton,Orthodoxy(London: John Lane, 1908), 21.

Jesus gave us 15 signs in Matthew 24 to indicate His return is approaching, but no one knows the exact timing except the Father. These signs, like birth pains, will increase in frequency and intensity. The key isn't knowing when He's coming, but being ready when He does. Jesus contrasts two types of servants: the faithful one who puts God first and serves others while waiting, and the careless one who becomes self-centered and destructive. True readiness means living with purposeful preparation, not fear, and being faithful in daily responsibilities while anticipating Christ's return with joy.

In this episode of God and His Prophets, we walk verse-by-verse through Zechariah 4, the fifth of Zechariah's night visions. At the center of the vision stands a golden lampstand fed by two olive trees—an image packed with meaning about the Holy Spirit's power, God's faithfulness, and how His work is accomplished.This chapter delivers one of Scripture's most quoted truths:“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.”The vision was given to Zerubbabel, the governor charged with rebuilding Jerusalem after the exile, at a time when the task felt overwhelming and progress painfully slow. God's message is clear: the work will be finished—not through human effort or strength—but through divine empowerment.Along the way, we explore discouragement, small beginnings, perseverance, and how God supplies exactly what His servants need to complete the work He assigns.Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcastsNeed to get in touch with me?

FINALLY! All Trevor's questions will be answered!*Almost a year ago, our friend Trevor became obsessed with the red heifers raised in Texas and flown to Israel for the inauguration of a new Temple. wtf is going on???Join Matt and Joe as Joe struggles to explain a weird non-scholarly way to interpret biblical prophecies that he doesn't know anything about. What are the dispensations? Where does the Rapture come from? Why do so many people think we're living in the end of the world???Only one way to find out...Follow us on Twitter or Bluesky and support us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!*Does not include the answer to questions about the red heifers... until PART II. Yes, we buried the lead.

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Nick Hatton in a discussion about the maturing process of a growing disciple of Jesus Christ. 

"Dispensationalism” has recently been in the news. It's a theological term describing an approach to Scripture looking at the categories of history in God's revelation, such as before and after the Mosaic Law and the end times. What should we make of topics like this?

Biblical prophecy reveals specific signs that indicate Christ's return is approaching, including widespread deception, wars, natural disasters, persecution of Christians, and the cooling of love among believers. Jesus described these signs as labor pains that intensify over time, culminating in a seven-year period called the Great Tribulation. The Antichrist will rise as a false peacemaker before demanding worship, and Christ will return visibly and victoriously. Israel's rebirth as a nation in 1948 represents a significant prophetic milestone. Rather than trying to predict dates, believers should focus on being ready for His return through salvation and faithful living.

Church and state are colliding, and the results are showing up in real policy. In this Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland talk about Israel, Gaza, and why theology can't stay theoretical when it starts steering national decisions. They break down how Replacement Theology and parts of Reformed Theology shape views on Israel, and why that matters for America heading into a new year. They also lay out the biblical role of government versus the role of the Church, and why blurred lines create confusion fast. The conversation connects current events, Romans 13, and the long-term impact of Dispensationalism on how many Christians read prophecy and foreign policy.

(This is a sermon I preached earlier this year at First Assembly of God in Carl Junction)There is so much to pick apart in Balaam's story. There are a lot more strange things going on than just a talking donkey.For example, in the first chapter where Balaam appears, he does exactly what God says, and then it says that God wanted to kill him for it.  Some men approached Balaam and asked him to curse the Israelites for them, and here's what it said:Numbers 22:20-2220 And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “If the men have come to call you, rise, go with them; but only do what I tell you.” 21 So Balaam rose in the morning and saddled his donkey and went with the princes of Moab.So far so good, right? God says go. Balaam goes. 22 But God's anger was kindled because he went, and the angel of the Lord took his stand in the way as his adversary.It will even say later that this angel of the Lord was standing there to literally kill Balaam! But why- wasn't Balaam doing exactly what God wanted? That's the question we're going to analyze in this message.Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcastsNeed to get in touch with me?

Gregory Weaver. Jesus told his Jewish audience, “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” What did Jesus imply with this statement?In this book, Gregory Weaver examines how Jesus and his apostles understood the promises made to Abraham. Rediscover the historic view of the promises to Abraham, and see how dispensationalism is exposed as a modern, errant innovation.BUY this book here: https://strengthtostrength.org/product/a-great-nation-gregory-weaver/

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 72 Gary responds to a dispensationalist pastor who takes issue with something said by John Rich on a recent podcast with Tucker Carlson. The pastor claims that what Rich was saying was not only misleading, but flat-out false about what Dispensationalism and Christian Zionism teach regarding Israel's future. Gary points out that this pastor doesn't understand his own position clearly enough.

Joy to the World, the Lord is come, let earth receive her king.We sing those words every Christmas, but did you know those lyrics are not about when Jesus came into this world? Not the first time, anyway.That's a song about the Second Coming of Christ- when Jesus returns to take over as King of the World, when for a thousand years He rules the world with truth and grace.We're gonna learn about what we can expect when Jesus comes back today on the God and His Prophets podcast.Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcastsNeed to get in touch with me?

Hey Burros of Berea listeners! Have I got a treat for you today! Cameron and Toni Driver sat down with me to talk about the exciting music that Toni has been making with the use of AI song generation tools. After years of being a Southern Baptist and taught Dispensationalism most of her life, she heard the news that Jesus Christ fulfilled his promises to the first century generation. From there, the music she was listening too no longer fit her understanding of the Kingdom. So she set out to change that by writing her own lyrics and producing songs through the use of an AI Song Generator not only to listen to herself, but to share with others who believe the way she does. She doesn't just write for one genre but creates songs in every genre to give everyone something they can enjoy. I hope you enjoy this interview and all of the music she has created through her passion and love for the Lord Jesus Christ!Toni Driver's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tonidriver1518Please go over and subscribe to her channel and begin enjoying a new song that will bless your heart and give glory to our God!

In this episode of the Ps+ we discuss the way in which discipleship causes priorities, lifestyles, and attention to be relocated from things of the world to thing's associated with God's Kingdom.

This is an episode of the Weird Stuff in the Bible podcast, which I'm also sharing here on God and His Prophets as a follow-up to Monday's episode.What I like about Matthew's Gospel is that he connects the Old Testament to the New. He'll include a verse from the Old Testament and say something like, “As the prophet Jeremiah said…” or “As the prophet Isaiah said…” I appreciate that he cites his sources. Except for that time that, well, he didn't. And we have no idea where it came from.It's in the Christmas story, Matthew chapter 2, where it says inVerse 23And he [Jesus] went and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene.That all sounds fine, except: which prophet said that the Messiah would be called a Nazarene? And it wasn't just one; Matthew said it was “spoken by the prophets” which means more than one. And yet you can scour your Old Testament and you will never find a single verse that the Christ would be called a Nazarene. In fact, you won't find a single mention of Nazareth at all.So what prophecy is Matthew talking about?I find this to be weird, and I'd like to explore why it's NOT in the Bible. Turn to Matthew 2, and let's get weird.Check out the website! www.weirdstuffinthebible.comVisit the Weird Stuff store!https://luketaylorpodcasts.creator-spring.comSign up for the weekly newsletter!

Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland sit down on The Smith & Rowland Show to talk Dispensationalism, the Book of Acts, and how the Church began. They walk through classic, hyper, ultra, and progressive views, discuss Israel and the Church, and explain why progressive revelation matters without adding new scripture. Along the way they touch on law and grace, the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, and why believers who differ on doctrine are still one family in Christ. If you want clear, Bible-centered talk on eschatology, the Acts timeline, and how to handle God's Word without allegorizing it, this podcast episode will help you sort the terms and keep your focus on the cross, not camps.

Tommy Littleton guest hosts this episode as he discusses the rise of Christian dominionism and the seeming vilification of dispensationalism.

As you're driving down the road, you're going to notice a lot of different types of signs. Some signs are instructional, like “stop” or “yield.” They're telling you something to do. Other signs are informational; they're communicating some kind of relevant information to you. They might say the name of the road you're on, or what the street up ahead is called. And then you have the invitational signs; the gym I used to go to had a sign that said “You are now entering the judgment free zone.” And then you also have warning signs, the signs that try to caution you that there is some kind of danger or impending doom; they'll say “the road is out ahead” or “abandon all hope ye who enter here” or “Welcome to California.”In the Bible, God would use particular things called “signs” to direct people to spiritual truth. For example, the miracles of Jesus were often called “signs” because they authenticated His deity. In other words, they proved that he was God. Another type of “sign” in the Scripture is prophecy: the foretelling of future events. Telling us about things that have not yet happened, the things yet to come. By telling us what would happen before it happened, God proved that He is real, that He is the one who made these things happen, and that He knows the future, and that we can trust Him.In the Christmas story, in the book of Matthew, we see 7 prophecies that are fulfilled in the first coming of Christ. But not just 7 prophecies; we see 7 different categories of prophecy. 7 different ways that an Old Testament prophecy can be fulfilled. So today we're going to answer some questions like:How did the wise men know that the star above Bethlehem meant the Messiah was there?Why did those wise men bring myrrh to the baby Jesus?Can a prophecy be fulfilled more than once?You'll find all that out and MORE today on the God and His Prophets podcast.Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcastsNeed to get in touch with me?

Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland light a fresh fire on Dispensationalism in this fast-paced podcast episode. From the K9 Congregation opener to a serious walk through progressive revelation, they argue that true Reformed theology cannot avoid dispensational thought. They trace how revelation unfolds from Genesis to Revelation, explain the “parenthesis” of the church age, and show why Israel, the rapture, and Paul's “my gospel” demand clear distinctions. They also expose the spiritual dysphoria that comes when believers mix covenant theology, replacement theology, and prophecy without rightly dividing the word of truth. If you want a clearer view of Israel, the church, and your own growth in Christ, this conversation will sharpen your thinking and deepen your confidence in Scripture. #SmithAndRowland #Dispensationalism #BibleTeaching #Podcast #ProgressiveRevelation

As we turn our hearts toward the Christmas season, we are reminded of the miraculous events of birth of Jesus. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we took a closer look at the topic of miracles. Our guest, a highly respected author and former atheist shared his research into the topic by clearing up the confusion over what is and is not a miracle and through some amazing examples demonstrating how belief in the God who still performs miracles substantiates the gospel message. The demonic lie of antisemitism is gaining ground across this nation and around the world. We turned once again to our expert on Israel to getter a better understand the biblical origins of this hateful belief system and why a belief in Dispensationalism in not heresy as some are trying to say. All roads do not lead to Heaven, despite what many would have you believe. A highly respected pastor cleared up the confusion that says that whether you believe in Jesus, Buddha or Muhammad you ultimately will end up in the same place. He turned to scripture to show the fallacy of this kind of thinking and why Christ is the one and only way of salvation. Are right and wrong simply a situational idea that ebbs and flows according to our feelings or the prevailing thoughts of the day? Or have we been given clear lines from a sovereign God to guide and direct us in this life? Our guest tackled this very challenging question with clear, biblical insight and understanding. The end of the week is upon as and it is once more time to turn our focus on some of the story that made headlines this week as we continue to examine them under the magnifying glass of scripture.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today Justin Francom joins me again on the podcast as we finish our conversations about Christian Nationalism. Last week we really dug into the history of the movement and then moved on to speak a little bit about the major players in the movement now. In this episode we really begin to break down the Christian Nationalist ideology and put it under scrutiny to see if this idea has legs in the Restoration. Now all along our conversation we dive into doctrines from Mormonism and touch on subjects ranging from the Atonement, Zion, Dispensationalism, & even a little bit on the Documentary Hypothesis. Buckle up for an episode full of not only intersections of religion and governments but also some pretty deep Mormon teachings as well.

Welcome to a Brain Wrinkling Wednesday with Fr. Tom Koys.  Today Father Koys focuses on an Advent version of WOC. He sets the stage for a deep dive into the weeds of dispensationalism. He uses references to C.S. Lewis' Narnia and writings at the website Catholic Answers to present his thoughts.  He summarizes that Catholics acknowledge that the church is the spiritual Israel; that in Catholic parlance the Catholic Church is the New Israel.  That leaves the question we need to ask ourselves: Do we embrace Catholicism as a fulfillment of God's plan for all people of all time?  He does. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

If you ever feel like you're not good enough for God- not clean enough- not worthy enough- to stand in His presence, let me just tell you- you're right.In fact, we're going to see today that the holiest man in all of Israel was in the same boat. He stands before God absolutely filthy, and Satan is standing by to point out every last one of his flaws.But also in this passage we're going to study today- the fourth of Zechariah's eight night visions- we will observe one of the clearest previews of the Gospel that you'll find anywhere in the Old Testament.Learn all about it today on the God and His Prophets podcast.Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcastsNeed to get in touch with me?

Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland talk about how political and theological conspiracies feed anti‑Semitism, shape views on Israel, and distract the church from preaching the gospel and experiencing revival. They discuss Christian journalism, public “exposés,” local church discipline, and why believers need to test every spirit instead of chasing every headline.

Are we really in the last days, or has the church misunderstood that phrase for 2,000 years? In this episode of the Smith and Rowland Podcast, Allan Smith and Jeff Rowland walk through Hebrews 1 and show why the “last days” began with the life and ministry of Jesus and cover the entire church age. They explain how Dispensationalism gives believers a clear framework for the rapture, the second coming, and the doctrine of imminence, and why that truth should bring comfort, not fear. The guys also tackle modern Conspiracy thinking, from replacement theology to political theories online. They expose how misplaced faith and a need for control can grow into a “conspiracy addiction” that distracts believers from scripture, the mission of the church, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Along the way, they highlight the ongoing work of global evangelism, true revival, and the promise that the gates of hell will not prevail against Christ's church.

In this episode of FACTS, Stephen Boyce and Pat May take a deep dive into one of the most complicated conversations happening in the Church today: the relationship between antisemitism, anti-Zionism, and dispensationalism.Christians often talk about Israel, prophecy, and end-times events, but the terms are rarely defined, and the theology behind them is frequently misunderstood. In this episode, Stephen Boyce unpacks the history, theology, and modern implications of these ideas—showing how confusion in these areas leads to real harm in both the Church and the Jewish community.We begin by clearly defining antisemitism and anti-Zionism and exploring where legitimate political critique ends and ethnic or religious hostility begins. From there, we examine how dispensational theology reshaped the American evangelical view of Israel, creating a system that divides God's people, misreads prophecy, and misunderstands the purpose of Ezekiel's temple.Along the way, we address: • Why antisemitism still appears in Christian spaces • How anti-Zionism can overlap with centuries-old prejudices • Why dispensationalism produces confusion about Israel and the Church • Why Ezekiel's temple cannot be understood as a literal future building • How Christians can love the Jewish people without adopting end-times sensationalism • Why historic Christianity offers a better, more coherent approach to IsraelIf you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7

One year ago, we were digging through Ezekiel 38 and 39, one verse at a time, picking apart what all happens in the Battle of Gog and Magog.That was when we were working through the book of Ezekiel, which we finished last April. But today, the book of Zechariah is pulling us back in that direction.Also one year ago at this time, Gog and Magog looked a long way off. But after the events of the past few months, the doomsday clock might need some updating.Let's take a review of that chapter today and see if it sheds some light on what's happening in Zechariah 2 on the God and His Prophets podcast.Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcastsNeed to get in touch with me?

TONIGHT'S STUDY: Tonight we have Part #5 with Dispensationalism Before Darby. In this study, we answer all the critics of dispensationalism who think that no one before John Nelson Darby and CI Scofield believed in or taught dispensationalism. In fact, dispensationalists appear as far back as the first and second centuries. But there was a problem, a huge problem that took the light of gospel truth and buried it in darkness for a thousand years. Tonight we show you everything you need to know about dispensationalism before Darby and Scofield!

Does Israel matter today in God's plan?Are there any prophecies about Israel that must be fulfilled before Jesus comes back?Is the rebirth of the modern nation of Israel a construct of God, or is it a sinister deception of the devil?And do our theological beliefs about these things necessarily need to affect our opinions on foreign policy?We're going to talk about all these things, not because Tucker Carlson is asking these questions, not because Candace Owens is asking these questions, but because the book of Zechariah asks these questions- and, I believe, answers these questions. Including one more that we'll look at today: Does God have a weakness?You'll find out today on the God and His Prophets podcast.Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcastsNeed to get in touch with me?
