Podcasts about Second Coming

DBTCS is back as a guest to talk about Kevin's family making an LA visit, over 400 men join forces to make one baby and the release date for The Second Coming of John Cooper is finally revealed!

God is following a plan. This truth is revealed in the numerous prophecies recorded in the Scriptures. Most have already been fulfilled, but there are still many waiting for the day of their fulfillment, particularly those dealing with the Second Coming of Christ.

What amazing events surround the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ? Find out with Tim Moore and Nathan Jones on the television program Christ in Prophecy!

In this episode we discuss a litners email where he asks about “the day and the hour” quote attributed to Joseph Smith and how some YouTube voices use it to fuel end times certainty. Gerrit breaks down why this kind of content deserves real skepticism: source quality matters, corroboration matters, and the Joseph Smith Papers exist for a reason. He explains how cherry picked, poorly sourced, or context free quotes can create anxiety, drive clicks, and worst of all, set people up for spiritual whiplash when predictions fail.  We had a couple of spots open up on our Standard of Truth Tour to Missouri/Illinois. We meet in Kansas City on Sunday, June 21st, and fly home from St. Louis on Saturday, June 27th. https://standardoftruth.com/tours/tour-missouri-nauvoo-carthage-springfield-st-louis-june-21-27-2026/ Sign up for our free monthly email: ⁠ ⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com⁠ If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠⁠questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com

Dr. Jack Trieber preached a message entitled “The Second Coming" during the Wednesday Evening service on February 25, 2026, at North Valley Baptist Church in Santa Clara, California. View Archived Services at nvbc.org.

Today’s Topics: 1) Gospel – Matthew 6:7-15 – Jesus said to His disciples: “In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. “This is how you are to pray: Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. “If you forgive men their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Dr. Peter Howard joins Terry to discuss the Great Apostasy and the End Times

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on October 15, 2025) In the sermon today, we move into the final subdivision of the Book of Revelation, which I have entitled, “In the Meantime.” This sermon is a little shorter than usual, because it is the last half of a sermon where Elder Buddy Abernathy finished up the...

Part 9. Happy Ever After David Pawson regards the book of Revelation as “probably the most important book in the New Testament for the Church to be studying right now for the very practical purpose for which it was written”, namely, to be “a manual for martyrdom”. Jesus provides encouragement to Christians facing persecution, exhorting them to endure and overcome. The book has present and future relevance for believers, and while it is addressed to the believers in the first-century AD, Jesus' words and the prophecies (some yet to be fulfilled) speak just as powerfully to Christians and the Church today. The many competing interpretations have caused confusion, particularly in relation to prophetic symbolism and the timings and nature of future events. If there are “as many riddles as there are words” here, then David demystifies and solves the book's riddle by explaining the more controversial, widely debated, and variously interpreted middle chapters, while also advocating reading Revelation in the plainest sense where possible. Jesus, in his compassion, has warned believers to prepare for his Second Coming. They are to remain faithful by upholding morals, resisting corruption, and identifying and opposing deception (false teaching), and, if necessary, enduring persecution. David unpacks Revelation's symbolism while addressing divisive subjects. Regarding the (Secret) Rapture, he argues that the book prepares believers to live through the Big Trouble (Tribulation), and adopts a pre-millennial position. Jesus promises to return to avenge the blood of the martyrs, while warning that backsliding believers will lose their place in the Book of Life and the New Jerusalem. Yet faithful overcomers will receive their inheritance. God is in control and Christians must ready themselves for Christ's return. Revelation's message is not just that “Jesus wins” but that he wants every believer to win” with him.

In this short teaching, we examine 2 Thessalonians 2:8 to show why the man of lawlessness (Antichrist) must be future. Paul says Jesus will destroy the lawless one at His parousia (Second Coming)—meaning the Antichrist is active on earth when Christ returns. The post Preterism Problem – AD 70, the Parousia, and the Man of Lawlessness appeared first on Bible Prophecy Answers with Alan Kurschner.

Our text this Sunday, Mark 13 (and the parallel texts in Matthew 24 and Luke 21), is among some of the most difficult to understand in the Bible. Jesus appears to mix predictions of things that would occur during the lifetime of the disciples with things that would only occur at the very end of human history. Although we won't have time to unravel all of the exegetical complexities of Mark 13 this week, we should be able to know and understand enough to stay awake, to be ready for our Lord's Second Coming, and to live lives of faithful expectation.

Be strengthened to persevere in faith by the promise of Jesus' Second Coming.

Be strengthened to persevere in faith by the promise of Jesus' Second Coming.

In the latter half of verse 3:13, Paul notes his anticipation of the Lord's return.  This coming reality shapes his thinking and his vision for ministry. It should shape ours as well 

In this podcast episode, we examine five key reasons for Jesus Christ's return to earth: The Bible emphasizes this promise repeatedly, with more than 1,800 references and 21 direct mentions from Jesus Himself. He will return as King to judge the nations, make all things right, and establish His righteous rule. He will come to Israel to deliver and restore her, setting up His Messianic Kingdom. Scripture also promises a new heaven and a new earth, where the curse will be removed and God's purposes fully realized. His return will be visible to the entire world—He first came as a sacrificial Lamb, but He will come again in glory as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Though some question the delay, the Bible reminds us that God's judgment is certain, and as we study Scripture and observe the signs, it is clear that His coming is near.

In this episode, I sit down with Jamie Walden — founder of Omega Dynamics, former Marine infantryman, police officer, firefighter/paramedic, missionary, and resilience trainer — for a powerful conversation about faith, discernment, and navigating uncertain times.We begin by discussing unusual global weather patterns and why many people are paying closer attention to environmental shifts happening around the world.Jamie shares how he views these changes through a biblical worldview and why conversations around awareness, preparedness, and spiritual grounding are becoming more relevant.We also explore the long tradition of watching for “signs in the heavens,” and how faith communities have historically interpreted natural events, cultural shifts, and global instability as reminders to stay spiritually anchored and discerning.More than anything, this conversation centers on how to remain steady when the world feels uncertain. Jamie speaks about spiritual resilience, overcoming fear-driven narratives, and strengthening faith, family, and community as the foundation for navigating whatever lies ahead.Important note:To keep this episode YouTube-friendly, I had to make careful edits and remove portions of our discussion.

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ is guaranteed, yet many Christians don't understand how to prepare for one of the most written-about events in the Bible. Acclaimed author John Bevere takes us on a personal tour of his latest book, The King is Coming. He shares about why he wrote it, why he avoided this topic for years, and how every believer can engage in this life-changing journey now! A must-listen! John Bevere: The King Is Coming (https://johnbevere.com/thekingiscoming/)

Who is the man of lawlessness? If the revealing of this person occurs before Christ gathers the church to himself, this question seems important. However, perhaps the characteristics of this being as a part of Paul's answer to the Thessalonian trouble were meant to provide them with something more than a specific name.  

Part 8. Will Christ Reign Here? David Pawson regards the book of Revelation as “probably the most important book in the New Testament for the Church to be studying right now for the very practical purpose for which it was written”, namely, to be “a manual for martyrdom”. Jesus provides encouragement to Christians facing persecution, exhorting them to endure and overcome. The book has present and future relevance for believers, and while it is addressed to the believers in the first-century AD, Jesus' words and the prophecies (some yet to be fulfilled) speak just as powerfully to Christians and the Church today. The many competing interpretations have caused confusion, particularly in relation to prophetic symbolism and the timings and nature of future events. If there are “as many riddles as there are words” here, then David demystifies and solves the book's riddle by explaining the more controversial, widely debated, and variously interpreted middle chapters, while also advocating reading Revelation in the plainest sense where possible. Jesus, in his compassion, has warned believers to prepare for his Second Coming. They are to remain faithful by upholding morals, resisting corruption, and identifying and opposing deception (false teaching), and, if necessary, enduring persecution. David unpacks Revelation's symbolism while addressing divisive subjects. Regarding the (Secret) Rapture, he argues that the book prepares believers to live through the Big Trouble (Tribulation), and adopts a pre-millennial position. Jesus promises to return to avenge the blood of the martyrs, while warning that backsliding believers will lose their place in the Book of Life and the New Jerusalem. Yet faithful overcomers will receive their inheritance. God is in control and Christians must ready themselves for Christ's return. Revelation's message is not just that “Jesus wins” but that he wants every believer to win” with him.

The sermon presents the current era of history as the Mediatorial Kingdom of Christ—a present, ongoing phase in which Christ, though ascended to heaven, continues to exercise exclusive authority over all creation, mediating both salvation and divine rule. Rooted in key passages such as Matthew 28, 1 Timothy 2, and Daniel 7, it emphasizes that Christ's authority in heaven and on earth is absolute and universally applicable, ensuring the ultimate success of God's redemptive plan. This phase, distinct from both the past incarnation and the future full revelation at the Second Coming, calls believers to active participation through kingdom acknowledgment, spiritual transfer, citizenship in heaven, and engagement in kingdom business. The sermon underscores that every believer is a kingdom worker, commissioned to advance God's purposes through prayer, service, and witness, with the Lord's Prayer serving as a model for interceding for the expansion of God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

What happens at the end of the Tribulation? Listen to this message to hear about the eight stages of the campaign of Armageddon which will usher in the final judgments. Beginning with demonic armies gathering and the final destruction of Babylon, the Antichrist's relentless pursuit to destroy all the Jews who then call out to God to save them, and the triumphal Second Coming of Christ and His victory over evil and the restoration of justice. Be challenged to remember how human history ends and how God's plan will always be completed.

In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood examines Revelation 16 and the pouring out of the seven bowls of God's wrath, culminating in the final battle of Armageddon. Scripture describes global, catastrophic events—unmatched earthquakes, the collapse of cities and mountains, and the gathering of the nations for war—pointing far beyond a first-century fulfillment. This teaching connects Revelation 16, 19, and 20 with Ezekiel 38–39, showing they describe one climactic battle at the end of the age, coinciding with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Steve Wood also explains how demonic deception stirs nations toward war and why Armageddon is ultimately a battle for the Kingship of Christ. A clear, Scripture-based look at Armageddon, Gog and Magog, and the return of Christ from a Catholic perspective. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.  

Very soon, just as lightning flashes, the skies will open and Jesus Christ will return. There will be no middle ground. You will either be a wheat or tare, sheep or goat, saint or sinner. Jesus said, “Be ye also ready… for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh.” On this edition of the Endtime Show we'll explain His soon return.

Send us a text      There is no way of denying the reality of the "end times" that Scripture speaks of. Since the birth of our Savior and until now, the Church is at the brink of the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. In such times like this, we need to grip ourselves with the anointing that comes from the Spirit of Truth to counteract any heresy or opposition that want to derail us from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May this sermon cause a spiritual awakening to the times we are living in, many blessings to you all. Support the show

ISAIAH REPEATEDLY condemned the practice of summoning spirits from the netherworld. It's not always apparent because translators often didn't have an understanding of the cult of the dead that surrounded ancient Israel, and the impact it had on the Israelites. After prophesying the imminent destruction of the northern kingdom of Israel by Assyria, the prophet condemned the people of Judah for turning to mediums and necromancers to ”inquire of the dead on behalf of the living”. Derek wrote about Isaiah 8:18–22 in The Second Coming of Saturn: The prophet described those who looked to the spirit realm for oracles as people who were already dead: They live in darkness, and they're “greatly distressed and hungry,” like the pagan dead of Mesopotamia who are not properly cared for by their descendants. In verse 21, Isaiah makes the connection to the dead explicit, writing that these unhappy souls will “pass through” the land. The Hebrew verb ‘ābar is based on the same root, ʿbr, from which we get ʿōberim—“Travelers,” as in the spirits of the dead who “travel” or “cross over” from the land of the dead to the world of the living; it's the same word used by the pagan Canaanites to describe the Rephaim summoned from the underworld through rituals to the threshing-floor of El on Mount Hermon.What Isaiah described is the punishment for those who defied God by using ritual pits to summon the spirits of the dead—they become like the unhappy dead themselves. When they realize their fate, “they will be enraged.” But in the context of the passage, with an understanding of the cult of the dead and the role of the “king” god in it, a better translation of the following sentence is this: “And they shall curse by Molek and by their ghosts.” (Elohay, the word translated “ghosts,” isn't always a reference to God. The basic meaning is “one who lives in the spirit realm.” Context is king, and here “ghosts” or “spirits” is a more accurate reading than “God.”)-- The Second Coming of Saturn, p. 188.

ISAIAH REPEATEDLY condemned the practice of summoning spirits from the netherworld. It's not always apparent because translators often didn't have an understanding of the cult of the dead that surrounded ancient Israel, and the impact it had on the Israelites. After prophesying the imminent destruction of the northern kingdom of Israel by Assyria, the prophet condemned the people of Judah for turning to mediums and necromancers to ”inquire of the dead on behalf of the living”. Derek wrote about Isaiah 8:18–22 in The Second Coming of Saturn: The prophet described those who looked to the spirit realm for oracles as people who were already dead: They live in darkness, and they're “greatly distressed and hungry,” like the pagan dead of Mesopotamia who are not properly cared for by their descendants. In verse 21, Isaiah makes the connection to the dead explicit, writing that these unhappy souls will “pass through” the land. The Hebrew verb ‘ābar is based on the same root, ʿbr, from which we get ʿōberim—“Travelers,” as in the spirits of the dead who “travel” or “cross over” from the land of the dead to the world of the living; it's the same word used by the pagan Canaanites to describe the Rephaim summoned from the underworld through rituals to the threshing-floor of El on Mount Hermon. What Isaiah described is the punishment for those who defied God by using ritual pits to summon the spirits of the dead—they become like the unhappy dead themselves. When they realize their fate, “they will be enraged.” But in the context of the passage, with an understanding of the cult of the dead and the role of the “king” god in it, a better translation of the following sentence is this: “And they shall curse by Molek and by their ghosts.” (Elohay, the word translated “ghosts,” isn't always a reference to God. The basic meaning is “one who lives in the spirit realm.” Context is king, and here “ghosts” or “spirits” is a more accurate reading than “God.”) -- The Second Coming of Saturn, p. 188. 

Matthew 24 reminds us that Jesus' return is certain, public, unexpected, and cataclysmic—and that the real question is not if we'll be ready someday, but whether we are prepared right now.

Verses 9 - 10 point to the importance of expectantly waiting for the return of Jesus.

Join Christine Darg on the Jerusalem Channel as she delves into the significance of biblical prophecy concerning the future of both the Church and Israel. Jerusalem is destined to become the center of Messiah's reign and the worship capital of the world.

On this, our 312th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the fact that the centre cannot hold. More Epstein files were released, which included an email from our friend and former mentor, Robert Trivers. We discuss his contributions, his life, and what the email does and does not imply. Also in the Epstein files: pizza, torture, Bitcoin, and the “goyim.” Was it all about blackmail; if not, what? And what is the CEO of TikTok on about, with regard to hate speech? Finally: a silver lining in the madness, as gender clinics close down and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (finally) takes the position that “gender-affirming” surgeries should not be done to people before the age of 19.*****Our sponsors:CrowdHealth: Pay for healthcare with crowdfunding instead of insurance.

Four Levels of Problem Solving: Leaders can empower members by identifying their current “level” of problem-solving: Level 1 (bringing a completed solution), Level 2 (proposing options), Level 3 (sharing findings/research), or Level 4 (simply asking for the answer). The “Hot Sauce” Technique: Delivering difficult correction is most effective when used as a “compliment sandwich,” where hard truths are encased in genuine love to ensure the counsel is “metabolized” rather than rejected. Facilitating Personal Revelation: Leaders should serve as a “Sherpa” or “guide on the side,” asking questions that invite the member to receive their own answers from the Spirit rather than providing them directly. Wellness Baselines: Richards emphasizes checking a member’s physical (sleep, diet, exercise) and spiritual (prayer, scripture, temple) “baselines” to address holistic needs before tackling complex emotional or behavioral issues. Heart-Led Vulnerability: To create safety, leaders should model vulnerability in sacrament meetings and classes, prioritizing personal, “heart-led” experiences over purely informational “head-led” teaching. Leadership Applications Member Empowerment: Instead of solving every problem, a leader can ask a member where they are on the 1–4 problem-solving scale, encouraging them to find and present their own solutions for the leader’s approval. Ward Council Dynamics: Councils are most effective when members “check their ego” and evaluate every proposal through “three hats”: their perspective as an individual, as a friend/neighbor, and through their specific stewardship. Joyful Ward Culture: Leaders can foster a “Church of Joy” by normalizing post-meeting interactions and using specific roles, such as “stenographers” to document the ward’s spiritual history and community connections.

When Jesus crosses into Gentile territory in Matthew 8, He's not just healing a man—He's confronting an occupying force. The demons call themselves “Legion,” a Roman military term that mirrors the Gentile domination of Israel during the Times of the Gentiles foretold by Daniel.   This encounter is a prophetic preview. The demons recognize Jesus' authority, fear judgment before the appointed time, and beg not to be sent to the Abyss. Their request to enter the pigs exposes their torment and destructive nature, while Jesus' authority over them foreshadows the final overthrow of Gentile power at His return.   The townspeople beg Jesus to leave, choosing familiarity over freedom. One man, fully delivered, wants to follow Him—showing the divide between those who benefit from darkness and those rescued from it.   This sermon reveals how Matthew 8 points beyond an exorcism to the Second Coming, when the King will return to crush the final empire and establish His everlasting kingdom.   Watch and see how this powerful moment previews the end of the Times of the Gentiles and the return of Jesus Christ.   #BibleProphecy #EndTimes #SecondComing #JesusIsKing #SpiritualWarfare #TimesOfTheGentiles #BookOfDaniel #Matthew8 #Deliverance #KingdomOfGod #IsraelInProphecy #ReturnOfChrist
