Podcasts about second coming of christ

You're probably familiar with this story from the beginning of Jesus' ministry: Luke 4:16-2016 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. 17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,     because he has anointed me     to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives     and recovering of sight to the blind,     to set at liberty those who are oppressed,19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”And then it says this20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. Very familiar story for a lot of us who have read the gospels. Made a lot of people unhappy, but it was a very positive message: the first time Jesus came, as you know, His purpose was to set people free. Free from the devil, free from their sicknesses, free from their sin.But did you know he didn't finish His sentence? He pulled open the book of Isaiah, started reading at chapter 61, and He stopped at a comma. Let's go look at the original words. Isaiah 61, starting at verse 1The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,     because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor;     he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives,     and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;2 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor,And that's where Jesus stopped reading, but here's what came next in the original passage:    and the day of vengeance of our GodThat was the part He left out. And why? Because that wasn't His mission in His first coming. The Day of Vengeance of Our God would be reserved for His Second Coming. And that's what I want to talk about 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?

A listener pushes back on Dr. Craig's claim that neither Jesus nor Paul expected the second coming within their own generation. Pointing to Matthew 24:36 and Jesus' words to the disciples about "this generation," and argues that Jesus was predicting a coming in judgment on Jerusalem in A.D. 70, not his final return.Dr. Craig agrees with partial preterism as far as it goes, but explains why he stops short of full preterism. Working through the Greek text of Mark 13, he distinguishes between what "these things" (tauta panta) refers to and the coming of the Son of Man itself, then raises three objections to the full preterist reading: (1) the coming of the Son of Man predicted by Jesus is a visible coming to Earth; (2) the Son of Man need not wait until A.D. 70 to be enthroned; and (3) the full preterist view cannot make good sense of the resurrection of the dead, which Paul ties to Christ's coming but which plainly did not occur in A.D. 70.

Dr. William Lane Craig opens the eschatology unit of Defenders 3 with a study of the Second Coming of Christ. He surveys Old Testament messianic prophecy (Isaiah 9:6-7, Isaiah 11:1-10, Daniel 7:13-14) as background, then turns to Jesus' Olivet Discourse in Mark 13, where Christ predicts wars, persecution, the "desolating sacrilege," and his own return "in clouds with great power and glory." Craig notes roughly 250 New Testament references to Christ's return and previews next week's look at Paul's parallel teaching.

Christ could return at any moment. So how should that truth shape the way you live today?In this exposition of 2 Peter 3:14-15, Pastor Jim Osman shows that Peter calls believers to two things as they wait for the Lord's coming: live blamelessly and think evangelistically.Osman traces Peter's repeated call to diligence, first raised in chapter 1 and now returning in these closing verses. Holiness does not happen by accident. It requires effort, pursued through the Spirit's power, not apart from it. When Christ returns, everything will be exposed. The fakes and frauds will be revealed, but so will the quiet, faithful saints whose lives have been marked by genuine spotlessness and blamelessness rather than the stains and blemishes that marked the false teachers in chapter 2.Osman then turns to verse 15, where Peter tells us to regard the Lord's patience as salvation. That patience is not slowness or delay. It is an open door, a call to repentance for the unbeliever and an opportunity for the Christian to proclaim the Gospel while there is still time.This sermon is a sober and hope filled reminder that waiting for Christ's return is never passive. It is a call to holy living and faithful witness, lived out with confidence in the God who keeps every promise. ★ Support this podcast ★

Sermon by Jeremy Howard

The coming destruction of the present creation is not just a doctrine to believe—it's a call to live differently. In this expository sermon from 2 Peter 3:11–12, Pastor Jim Osman draws out the practical weight of Peter's eschatological teaching and presses it into the conscience of every believer.Peter's concluding exhortations are clear: those who genuinely believe Christ will return are marked by it. First, they are a holy people—set apart in conduct and godliness, fitted for a new creation in which only righteousness dwells. Osman unpacks what that means practically, showing that holiness is not merely a positional reality but a moral pursuit, one that grace both demands and provides.Second, they are a hastening people—those who long for and actively work toward the coming of the day of God. Osman addresses the apparent tension between divine sovereignty and human responsibility head-on. The day is fixed on God's calendar; yet Scripture calls believers to hasten it through holy living, faithful gospel proclamation, and earnest prayer. These are not contradictions—they are the two sides of the same sovereign purpose.If Christ is returning, and Peter insists He is, the only question left is: what kind of people ought we to be? ★ Support this podcast ★

I answer listener-submitted Bible questions live on the first Wednesday of every month. On today's livestream, the first question I will answer is:  Is full preterism a heresy?That You May Know Him, Episode 301.

The sermon presents a comprehensive, literal interpretation of biblical prophecy through a five-stage framework of history, emphasizing God's unfolding plan from creation to the new heavens and new earth. Central to this vision is the belief in a future, literal millennial kingdom where Christ will reign on earth for a thousand years, restoring Israel as the world's preeminent nation, reestablishing the temple with Zadokian priests, and instituting animal sacrifices as symbolic acts of atonement rather than means of salvation. The speaker argues that only a pre-millennial, dispensational view—taking Scripture literally—accurately reflects God's promises to Abraham, David, and the prophets, rejecting amillennial and postmillennial interpretations that spiritualize or deny the literal fulfillment of prophecy. Key themes include the ultimate defeat of Satan, the necessity of personal faith in Christ even in a perfect world, the resurrection and glorification of believers, and the final judgment that precedes the eternal new creation, where sin and death are forever abolished. The tone is urgent, pastoral, and deeply conviction-driven, calling listeners to a personal, lifelong allegiance to Christ amidst the world's false utopias and spiritual deception.

Climate alarmists have been predicting the end of the world for decades—and getting it entirely wrong. Pastor Jim Osman opens this exposition of 2 Peter 3:7 and 10 by showing why: they begin with the wrong assumptions. God has already revealed how this world ends, and it has nothing to do with carbon footprints or melting ice caps.Peter's answer to the false teachers who denied the return of Christ rests on three characteristics of the coming Day of the Lord. It is certain—God's Word that created the world and judged it by water is the same Word that now reserves it for fire. The present creation stands only because God wills it to stand. When that will changes, it will be instant.It is unexpected—arriving like a thief in the night. Just as the generation of Noah kept eating, drinking, and going about their lives right up until the flood came, unbelievers will be caught entirely off guard when the Son of Man returns. Believers, by contrast, are called to live in anticipation of that day, not dread of it.And it will be thorough. The heavens will pass away with a roar—a Greek word Peter chose because it captures the sound of arrows, crackling flames, and rushing water all at once. The elements themselves will be consumed. Everything will be laid bare before God, with nowhere left to hide.For the believer, this is not a day to fear. Christ has already absorbed the wrath. On the other side of judgment is a new creation—new heavens, new earth, and righteousness dwelling there forever. ★ Support this podcast ★

From movies to media preachers, "The end is near!" is a common theme. But what does God have to say about 'The End?' Malachi describes a coming day of radical contrasts: consuming fire, yet for the righteous, a day of joy and freedom. This day brings destruction for the wicked, but it brings dancing for those who fear the Lord. The really important question each of us must answer is this: which group are we in? In Christ, we can know the answer, and we can look forward to 'the coming day' with great anticipation.

Peter warned the church that mockers would come. Pastor Jim Osman works through 2 Peter 3:1-4, examining the identity, motive, and arguments of those who deny the return of Christ—and why their denial is never as innocent as it appears.Two thousand years have passed since the promise was made. That passage of time is precisely what the mockers weaponize. Their question—"Where is the promise of His coming?"—is not a sincere inquiry. It is a denial dressed up as a question, a pattern Osman traces through Jeremiah, the Psalms, and Malachi. When mockers ask "where is," they are not looking for an answer. They are dismissing the promise altogether.Peter exposes their motive as well as their argument. These men follow after their own lusts, and the connection between their sensuality and their denial of Christ's return is deliberate. Deny the coming of Christ, and you deny the coming judgment. Deny the coming judgment, and there is nothing left to restrain the flesh. Osman draws out three strands of this connection: the removal of accountability, the loss of a purifying hope, and the implicit denial of bodily resurrection.The mockers also argue from uniformitarianism—the assumption that because nothing has changed, nothing will. Osman dismantles this philosophy, shows its influence on secular science, and points to the flood as evidence that God has already intervened catastrophically once before.False teachers are not a surprise. They are a sign. Their presence confirms that the last days are here—and that the Lord is still coming. ★ Support this podcast ★

Matthew 24:1-31April 19, 2026Pastor Nick Shaffer

Peter opens 2 Peter 3 with two pastoral aims: to stir up the sincere minds of his readers and to call them back to the truth they already know. False teachers in his day were mocking the promise of Christ's return — dismissing it as myth and pointing to the silence of the centuries as proof it would never happen. Peter's answer? Remember what has been promised.In this expository message, Pastor Jim Osman walks through 2 Peter 3:1–4, showing that Peter's first move against the mockers is not an argument — it is a reminder. He reminds his readers of the prophetic testimony of the Old Testament and the apostolic testimony of Jesus and the New Testament writers: Christ is coming back in power, in glory, and in judgment. This promised return is not a footnote — it is referenced in every New Testament book but two, across 300 passages in 260 chapters.Osman also lays out the full outline of chapter 3, setting up a multi-week series: the doubters' derisions (vv. 1–4), the dismantling of their denials (vv. 5–10), and the duties of the disciples in light of Christ's return (vv. 11–18).The return of Christ is comfort for the believer and a sober warning for the unbeliever. Don't let the passage of time dull your expectation. He promised. He does not lie. He is coming. ★ Support this podcast ★

LUKE 21:25-28 - REV 19:7-21

It is of utmost importance to know whether you are a child of God or a child of the Devil. When the children of God leave this world, they go to be with God forever; children of the Devil go to be with the Devil in eternal hell forever. There are not only two distinct families, but also two distinct futures for those families. One is heaven; the other is hell. Which will be your future?

Revelation 19:11-16

Revelation 19:11-16

This message explains Jesus' teaching in Matthew 24 about the End Times, given privately to His disciples on the Mount of Olives. Jesus reveals that prophecy is meant to be understood and outlines three phases: immediate events, the Tribulation, and ultimately His Second Coming. Scripture shows that after unparalleled global distress, Jesus will return visibly and powerfully, fulfilling numerous Old Testament prophecies. His return will bring judgment on a world hardened in rebellion, while His words remain infallible, inerrant, complete, and authoritative. While the Church will be removed before the Tribulation, the generation that endures those final years will witness these signs unfold. Jesus emphasizes that although no one knows the exact day or hour, believers must stay watchful, faithful, wise, and ready—not focused on the Antichrist but on Christ Himself. The call is to live prepared, because His return is certain and life is uncertain.
