Episode Description In this episode of Hardcore Christianity, host Brother Mike from the Arizona Deliverance Center shares a Bible study warning listeners about the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and its potential role in end-times prophecy. He highlights how everyday technology—such as email scanning, location tracking through Google Maps, browsing analytics, and AI chatbots—is laying the groundwork for mass surveillance. Brother Mike warns that these technologies will ultimately be leveraged by the Antichrist and the false prophet to enforce the Mark of the Beast, manipulate global trade, and lead the world into delusion. Key Takeaways Modern Data Tracking as Infrastructure: Everyday tools like email, GPS navigation, and web analytics actively build a mass surveillance system that sets the stage for prophecy fulfillment. AI & End-Times Deception: Emerging tech like AI companions, deepfakes, and automated avatars mirror biblical descriptions of the "image of the beast" and end-times delusion. The Mark of the Beast System: The Mark (charagma) will serve as a permanently enforced system controlling global trade, backed by facial recognition and algorithmic tracking. Spiritual Readiness & Preparation: True faith requires active spiritual preparation and vigilance rather than lukewarm religion to face or avoid the upcoming trials of the Tribulation. Featured Bible Passages Revelation 13:14–15 – The false prophet setting up the image (icon) of the beast to speak and deceive the world. Revelation 13:16–17 – The Mark of the Beast (charagma) required on the right hand or forehead to buy or sell. 2 Thessalonians 2:9–12 – The powerful delusion and deceptive signs that manipulate those who refuse to love the truth.

In this message, through Revelation chapters 5 and 6, we consider the seven-sealed scroll, the Lamb's authority to open it, and how these visions reveal God's unfolding plan. You'll hear a clear overview of the four horsemen — the false peace of the Antichrist, war, famine, and death — plus the martyrdom of believers and the cosmic signs that announce God's final judgment. The message emphasizes that, even amid turmoil, God remains in control and calls all who will hear to spiritual readiness.

Where is God, and what is He doing? Those are questions we'll try to answer this week on the program. Of course God is in Heaven, but that answer isn't complete. He's also right next to you, and (if you're a Christian) He's inside you. How can these things be, we want to know. And as for what He's doing, most people have nary a clue. If we can see God as He is, we will be changed.

Sermon Date: 07/29/2026; Pastor Bill Bryson; Scripture Passage: Proverbs 24:16Support the show

In this message from Revelation 20, we look at the reality of Satan, the source of evil and deception in the world, and the certainty of the devil's final doom. Pastor Monroe walks through Satan's origin, his activity through history, his role during the Tribulation, and the victory of Jesus Christ over the works of the devil. If you've ever wondered why evil is so persistent—or how the enemy's story ends—this message will point you back to the truth of God's Word.

What does the Bible say about the Millennium?In this message from Revelation 20, we trace God's prophetic timeline from the Rapture through the Tribulation and into the thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ. Discover what life will be like when Christ rules from Jerusalem, why Satan is bound and later released, who will reign with Christ, and why the Millennial Kingdom demonstrates God's perfect justice, righteousness, and faithfulness.The world's greatest days are still ahead because the King is coming.

Does 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 really teach a secret pre-tribulation rapture? For generations, many Christians have viewed this passage as one of the clearest biblical proofs that the Church will be removed from the world before the Great Tribulation. But is that what Paul actually meant?In Episode 3 of Top 10 Most Controversial Verses: Eschatology Edition, Matt Plett examines the famous “caught up” passage and challenges one of modern evangelicalism's most influential assumptions. Rather than describing believers escaping the earth, Paul may instead be portraying the public, victorious arrival of Christ and the resurrection of the dead.Exploring the meaning of “meeting the Lord in the air,” Roman historical background, resurrection themes, and the wider biblical context, this episode takes a fresh look at one of the most debated texts in Bible prophecy.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

The Pirates of our Times   Huge! This Changes Everything! Secrets Revealed! The Real Reason… ALL CAPS! What You're Not Supposed to Know About… Something That Shouldn't Exist… See Recipe in Comments Below[1]     Is this what it takes to get our attention now?   You would think so. When we search through YouTube looking for a favorite news outlet, we now slog through sensationalist titles and AI-generated title pages that entice us to view by showing extreme emotions: anger, fear, distress, shock.   Not comforting, is it?   It's a weekly challenge for me when I try to choose a graphic that authentically represents the content of the teaching. At some point I think we have to admit that no matter how intriguing the title or graphic, mostly the same people will read and the same people will delete. Probably at most, an especially intriguing title will cause a tiny percentage of people to open an email who normally delete it. We are becoming more wise…or perhaps fatigued…with sensationalist content.   The ability of AI[2] to offer us not just curated viewing, shopping, music, or social media posts, but to communicate with us like an actual person in Customer Service chats or Chat GPT, creates an illusion of an interested and caring person we know. How cool is it that YouTube lets me know when a new beading or archaeology video is released?   Honestly, though, it's digital machinery that has been fed immeasurable amounts of data. As I found out last week, it's also been fed pirated books (Creation Gospel workbooks!) and videos (Creation Gospel videos!). The AI in turn cheerfully offers the information free to seekers.   There was a foreshadowing of this back in 2003 when we first went online with www.israelnet.tv, offering teaching programs from some of the best-known Messianic teachers of the day. Our tech guy contacted us and said he was watching someone download multiple programs simultaneously in real time. This was in spite of clear copyright cautions. We only had permission from the teachers to stream to our audience, not to re-distribute the programs for personal use.   With a little bit of investigative work, we tracked down the email address of the pirate. My burning question was, what kind of person steals Bible teaching? There's much more lucrative content out there. Bible teaching? Really?   I sent the faceless Torah pirate an email, and kindly but firmly explained that we knew he was downloading copyrighted programs. I also explained that we did not have permission to distribute the material randomly; we were only licensed for the specific use on Israelnet.   Instead of an apology, the pirate went into the old trope: The Bible doesn't belong to anyone. It's free. Bible teaching should be free.   Pretext.   Aaargh, matey!   Sure the Bible is free. They're in the top drawer of any hotel nightstand. An institution known as the Gideons gives away free Bibles. Most people have an extra copy they'd be happy to give away. But there was a reason Yeshua chose one of the disciples to carry the donation money bag.   Even though Yeshua was quite handy with multiplying loaves and fishes, they had to eat.   Relying on miracles instead of working is not the Scriptural example. Miracles are for when we reach the limit of human skill, access, or knowledge.   In my reply to the gentleman pirate, I agreed that the Bible is free. In fact, our Creation Gospel programs and workbook royalties are designated to support Torah-based orphanages, not pay salaries. My husband and I had full time jobs, so we didn't rely on donations to pay the grocery bill or car payment. We donated our time and money. Other teachers, however, were full time ministers. They needed the income to support their ministries and families.   Not being as handy with loaves and fishes as Yeshua, they had to eat.   At the least, if this gentleman wanted to re-distribute the teachers' programs, then he should obtain permission like Israelnet did. He should explain why the costs the teachers incurred, such as travel, studio, equipment, utility bills, (our streaming T-1 line back then was $1000 per month!), software, etc., was okay for him to remove from their pockets because he knew better than they did to whom their teaching and production work should be disseminated.   So in our times, AI developers are free to redistribute all the intellectual property it can consume, even apologizing for not listing everything due to “copyright rules.” It's like nodding and saying “no” at the same time.   It's not something we'll change, however. In fact, it's so incorporated into our daily activities that it's probably impossible to disconnect unless we go off-grid. We're being sluiced down that funnel faster and faster. The current Western trend toward socialism and communism is a symptom. The pirate's reasoning that all Biblical content should be free is rapidly expanding. We feel entitled to confiscate anyone else's hard work because it's the “moral” thing to do. Share. Lift up the downtrodden. Love your neighbor.   Sometimes we feign asking permission by passing onerous laws to tax and take property. Others simply take without permission and know that the wealth from it will more than equip them to face their accusers in court by the time it makes it that far. The ultimate settlement is calculated as the cost of doing pirated business. The Author's Guild reports that the median annual income from book sales is just $15,000 for full-time authors. We're not all John Grisham. The authors are never going to recover the income they've lost to pirates and AI even when the case makes it to court.   Yes, I agree. Love your neighbor as yourself.   But what about “Thou shalt not steal”? That's in the Bible, too.   Pretext.   Yes, that's what the Torah calls it.   A pretext is when we make up a reason to conceal the actual reason we do or don't do something. Pretext tends to spread like wildfire. We'd all like to avoid confronting our own fears, failures, laziness, aggressiveness, greed, or apathy if someone can come up with a pretext that sounds way better than “my fear,” “my laziness,” “my aggressiveness,” or “my greed.”   Numbers 11:1-6 is an example of a pretext:   “Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the LORD; and when the LORD heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp… The rabble who were among them had greedy desires; and also the sons of Israel wept again and said, “Who will give us meat to eat? We remember the fish which we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic, but now our appetite is gone. There is nothing at all to look at except this manna.”   The fire started with a taste for free meat and fish. This was the pretext. They even invented facts to go with the pretext: we ate free fish in Egypt; we have no appetite.   The opposite was true. The fish wasn't free in Egypt. Even the straw for the bricks they had to find for themselves. They did, too, have an appetite. The ignoramuses even listed all the things they were craving.   The manna, the Word of Heaven was not tasty enough for their uncontrolled, greedy appetites.   It helps to know what preceded the complaining. For the first time, the organized camp moved with the Tabernacle, following the Ark of the Covenant and expected to give feet to the commandments they'd learned:   “So they moved out for the first time according to the commandment of the LORD through Moses.” (Nu 10:13)   The Israelites had entered a new stage of responsibility in their walk to the Promised Land. No longer newly-saved milk-dependent babes in the wilderness, they had multiple commandments in which to walk. They were now organized by camp, directed by leadership. There was no map to their journey, only the Ark that traveled ahead looking for the place for them to rest.   When we don't know exactly what lies ahead, we often look back. What we see when we look back takes on a glory and sheen that it never had when we were living it. Truth be told, we were miserable. But those reconstructed memories and invented facts make great pretexts.   Our present challenge is more than just leaking away of intellectual property or orphanage funds through pretexts or outright theft. Like I said, we won't stop this flood until Yeshua returns. There's no way to separate out an answer on a search engine that was stolen versus one that was taken from an open source. Our present challenge is more than just clickbaiting viewers or listeners to read, watch, or listen to a program when they have thousands of choices each day.   Let's put the two together.   We are in a transition period. We hear the footsteps of Messiah. We also know that the period just preceding his return is one of chaos, turmoil, war, weather phenomena, family conflict, rebellion, and mass confusion.   In the middle of this, a remnant is called out of that darkness in the “wilderness of the peoples.” What we feel as tribulation is really just a test. Tribulation is for the unrepentant. Yet, we, too, become scared, nervous, anxious, and angry. We're not sure we know how to follow the Ark. Organization? The Beast uses those! Help!   Yes, the Beast is full of cravings and greedy desires. He does use organizations to clickbait and entice us, to offer us any pretext for complaining about the journey. To overwhelm us with “free” choices: Cucumbers? Fish? Melons? Garlic? Onions? Pick me! Pick me! I love free!   All our choices do cost something no matter the pretext or the truth of the Word. The only free thing is our salvation. After that is a wilderness journey of learning, and each lesson costs us some effort. And unlike the wilderness of the first Exodus, this Greater Exodus doesn't come with a visible Moses or a leadership appointed by him. This is a bit scarier because it's more than a bit greater than the first one! (Je 16:14-15; 23:7-8; Is 43:16-19)   You know what? I used AI to look up those verses faster than I could on Logos. I don't think AI is the Beast. It's a tool, but we need to know how to and how not to use it, just like we need to know how to use and not use the organizations to which we belong or which we use. We don't put faith in government, medicine, recreation, education, or any other system. We use them, but they will ultimately fail…repeatedly. They are tools, but they are not the Kingdom. We must recognize where they fail and use them wisely where they are honest and successful.   While the wicked and lukewarm world with no clear direction enters this stage of confusion that precedes the Kingdom, knowing only an indiscriminate throwing off of every yoke, we are to walk with clarity. Training in the Word equips us, calms us, balances us.   This is why I know that trying to find the most enticing graphic or clickbait title is not going to get lots more people to open a newsletter. In fact, statistics tell me that fewer than 50% even open the weekly email.   People are weary and wary. When they do open those links that imply they HOLD THE NEXT GREATEST SECRET CONSPIRACY, they already anticipate that it will under-deliver.  They know we're overrun with the pirates of our time. It's kind of like those sea monkeys I ordered from the back of a comic book when I was seven years old. I still have no idea what that cloudy mess was, but the ads made me think something alive, mysterious, and fascinating could be had for the cost of postage and few bucks.   And I get it.   I, too, have to search for ways to promote books like Scorpions Ascent or a conference, to politely ask the readers or viewers for a minute or two to consider whether the book or event is a good fit for them. I don't want to be a time pirate, yet on the other hand, if we don't do something to attract the eye, the message is shouted down by edgier content producers. At what point do we become a time pirate? These are wilderness dilemmas, but Yeshua goes ahead of us so we won't get lost.   My prayer is that we are quietly growing a trained remnant that doesn't need superlatives, all caps, world-shaking prophecy insights, and carnival ride doctrines. They are faithfully collecting tasty manna in the Torah portions each week. They don't need pretexts to justify their lust for the doctrinal carnival rides because they are not afraid of walking in the chaos Scripture warned us would accompany the period before Yeshua's return.   AI can only appear to know you by your first name. It cannot know you at all. It is data programmed to identify your habits captured either legally or illegally by analyzing your keystrokes, questions, searches, and preferences. The upside is a quick search for a simple, non-life-changing question. The downside is that from now until Yeshua comes, we will not likely know for sure what images or voices are real. Oh yeah, that's in the Bible, too.   A minister of pretext doesn't really know you, either. He or she knows human fears, greed, cravings, laziness…even the good desire to do righteous things for your neighbor. The minister of pretext's bait draws out the “rabble,” sharing confusion and darkness because they feed one another half-truths that become whole lies. In the end, it consumes them together. It doesn't bear the fruit of righteous things. He's a pirate who baits our scroll…em…scrolling time.   As we navigate this greater exodus, let us deliver what the apostles of Yeshua delivered and what Moses and the leaders in the wilderness delivered. Truth. Truth still matters.   A human being doing the honest work of the Kingdom can hold truth and the good of others at the same time. It can give without stealing. Truth can be firmly upheld without being unkind. It can make manna tastier than anything from The French Laundry.   That is something the world desperately needs right now. Real human beings unafraid of the giants, robots, and raging, confused nutters. Strong, yet gentle messengers of Yeshua aren't driven by their own fears, but by the good news promises of the gospel. They may not remember where you shopped online six months ago or that you like loom beading videos, but they know you are the Father’s treasured possession. This kind of knowing becomes a comfort to others:   For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit; but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts. For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness—nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority. But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children. Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us. (1 Th 2:3-8)   Isn't this a great passage Paul wrote to comfort the Thessalonians? These are words of relationship, not something Paul asked AI to write for him. Even back then, the recipient of a letter could sniff out a genuine letter from AI. A pastor who loves the flock is a gift from above AI will never duplicate.   This Shabbat is “Shabbat Nachamu,” the Shabbat of Comfort that follows the fast of Tisha B'Av. The readings for the weeks following are also comforts that the destructions will someday come to an end, and the hard work of walking through the chaos and confusion of the wilderness will come to an end.   The great thing about the Ark seeking out a resting place for the Israelites three days' journey ahead of them in the wilderness? It is said that its cloud lifted up the low places, leveled the high places, and killed the scorpions and snakes in their path. It shaded them from the heat or cold. The journey was nothing to be afraid of, nothing  for which they needed to collect pretexts beforehand for failures. They were being afforded the comforts they would need even through the challenges of the journey.   It was those on the fringes the cloud had expelled for complaining who were consumed by the fire. It's way bumpier and hotter out there where the cover of the clouds of glory is thin. The Presence of the Father can also sniff out a reluctant traveler on this journey. Leave the pretexts out there in the fire with the pirates, and report to your place in the cloud.   Complaining is the opposite of comforting. Complaining is the opposite of comforting. Complaining is the opposite of comforting.   “'Comfort, O comfort My people,' says your God. ‘Speak kindly to Jerusalem; and call out to her, that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity has been removed, that she has received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.'A voice is calling, ‘Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; make smooth in the desert a highway for our God. Let every valley be lifted up and every mountain and hill be made low; and let the rough ground become a plain, and the rugged terrain a broad valley; then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together;' for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” (Is 40:1-5)     [1] The recipe in Comments will be a link that ka-chings the content provider's account and takes you to a “recipe page” that buries the recipe within dozens of ads.

It was the site of a major battle in the Book of Joshua. At first, the Israelites were defeated because a warrior named Achan (“troubling, troubler”) took treasure and hid it. After Achan was put to death, Joshua led a successful military ambush to capture and destroy the city. Pirates of Ai are in a heap of trouble.

or many Christians, the word tribulation immediately brings thoughts of future prophecy, persecution, and the end times. But what if Jesus is also calling us to notice the tribulation already happening around us today?In this thought-provoking message, we explore how an intense focus on future suffering can sometimes blind us to the suffering of our neighbors in the present. Looking at Matthew 24, the Great Commission, and examples from history, we're challenged to move beyond fear and speculation and instead become people who embody Christ's compassion in a hurting world.Rather than simply waiting for difficult days to come, Jesus invites His followers to be the light of the world today—bringing hope, standing with the oppressed, and trusting that He is with us until the very end.Visit Us at oacvancouver.ca We believe that Jesus is needed and relevant for people in Vancouver today. The message of God's love and promise of wholeness was destined to be experienced within a faith community that worships, studies scripture and prays together. Let us warmly welcome you to journey with us toward greater connection, purpose and peace.Follow Us Instagram: instagram.com/oacvancouver Facebook: facebook.com/oacvancouver Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0cjUJ9XmAMJc1piS1IwOQH?si=dc0f2377d0454e31

Send us Fan MailGUEST: Todd Hampson, author, Non-Prophets Guide SeriesWhen countries in Scripture listed as key actors in end times passages, such as Israel, Iran, and Turkey, appear at the top of world news, Christians should be paying attention.The U.S. and Israel are in an intractable war with Iran. Turkey has signed a military cooperation agreement and are planning military exercises with Egypt. President Trump recently met with and spoke favorably of Turkish president and strongman Recep Erdogan and is considering selling U.S. F-35 fighter jets to the country.And the super-sign of the end times—the state of Israel—continues to be at the forefront of the news and the focal point of hatred in the world.Our guest, Todd Hampson, author and host of the Prophecy Pros Podcast, calls this “stage setting.” In other words, the rapture of the church, the invasion by Gog and Magog into Israel, the peace treaty with Israel by the Antichrist, and the rest of the events the Bible predicts for the end of the end times, have not occurred yet but the stage is being set.Last week in Part 1, Todd explained the three main views of biblical prophecy (premillennialism, postmillennialism, and amillennialism) and how he believes the premillennial view is most consistent using a literal, grammatical, historical reading of Scripture. He also discussed some of the other key aspects of the end times, like the rapture, the seven-year Tribulation, and ultimately the return and reign of Christ.This week in Part 2, we will discuss how current events in Israel, Iran, and Turkey are setting the stage for the fulfillment of prophecy, where the United States fits into all this, and much more.We hope you join us as we watch the Lord unfold His plans for the return and reign of His Son!

There are some attributes of God that are obvious (He is incredibly intelligent and powerful). Other divine qualities are like treasures, hidden for us to find. This week Jim has a bit more to say about the unchanging nature of the Creator; and he'll take us from Psalms to the Epistles to show that God not only knows all, but He is wise in His choices! Exploring these traits can help us see the greatness of our King, to worship Him, and to live like His children.

As Watchmen, we always keep our eye on Israel. One of the most important things to watch out for is if Israel starts Animal Sacrifice again. Why is that important? Well, in the middle of the seven-year Tribulation, the Antichrist will go and sit on the Ark of the Covenant, proclaiming himself as God, and stops Animal Sacrifice. A Perfect Red Heifer calf has just been born in Israel, so let’s watch. 00:00 Pure Red Heifer Born 08:23 Rare Red Heifer 10:38 Five Red Heifers 13:10 What to Watch For 14:08 Biggest Prophetic Sign in our Lifetime 21:29 Coincidence

Marking his silver anniversary year on Christian radio, professional counselor Brother Mike from the Arizona Deliverance Center returns to the KXXT airwaves with a highly urgent end-times Bible study. In this eye-opening episode, Brother Mike pulls back the curtain on modern technology to show how today's artificial intelligence and digital surveillance are laying the logistical groundwork for the Tribulation. By detailing how everyday tracking from tech giants mirrors the prophesied system of the Antichrist, this message serves as a powerful call for true born-again believers to make major changes and prepare for the Rapture before the Great Delusion takes hold. Key Takeaways: AI and the Antichrist: Why artificial intelligence will serve as the premier logistical tool for the Antichrist—who is likely alive today—to implement global control. Modern Surveillance as the Blueprint: A chilling look at how current tracking systems monitor our digital lives in real-time—including email scanning, real-time location mapping, web-browsing patterns, battery life, and digital purchase receipts. The Living Image of the Beast: An analysis of the Greek word icon in Revelation 13. Brother Mike compares the prophesied animated image of the beast to modern, highly advanced AI humanoids, deepfake technology, and interactive virtual avatars. The Mark of the Beast (Charagma): Understanding the literal translation of charagma as a permanent etching or cut into the right hand or forehead, which superpowered AI algorithms will monitor to regulate all global trade. The Rise of Digital Relationships: How modern AI tools are already replacing authentic human intimacy by creating highly tailored, virtual partners designed to pacify the masses. Featured Bible Passages: Revelation 13 – The prophecy of the False Prophet, the speaking image (icon) of the beast, and the enforcement of the Mark of the Beast (charagma). 2 Thessalonians 2 – The warning of the coming falling away, the revelation of the man of sin, and the powerful "Great Delusion" sent to those who refuse the truth.

Did Daniel's famous 70th Week prophecy already find its fulfillment, or is there still a future seven-year tribulation to come? In this episode, we examine Daniel 9:24–27, one of the most debated passages in all of biblical prophecy. Rather than placing a 2,000-year gap between the 69th and 70th weeks, this study explores how Daniel's prophecy points to the coming of the Messiah, His atoning work, the end of the old covenant temple system, and the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.By examining the context of Daniel 9 alongside Matthew 24, Luke 21, and the broader biblical storyline, we ask whether the 70th Week has already been fulfilled—and why this question has shaped Christian eschatology for generations.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Marking his silver anniversary on Christian radio, professional counselor Brother Mike from the Arizona Deliverance Center delivers a sobering look at end-times prophecy in this episode of Hardcore Christianity. Dive into a deep-dive study of the fourth seal of Revelation, unpacking the spiritual and historical weight of the "Death Horse." Learn how modern warfare and geopolitical conflicts serve as precursors to the Tribulation, and why securing your relationship with Jesus Christ is the most urgent decision you can make today. Key Takeaways: The Green Horse of Death: A linguistic breakdown of the Greek word chloros (pale green) and thanatos (death) used in the fourth seal, revealing the identity of the final rider (Revelation 6:7-8). The Antichrist's Secretary of War: Exploring the rise of the Antichrist and his appointment of a supernatural "Secretary of War" given power to slaughter a fourth of the earth's population—amounting to roughly 2 billion people today. The Staggering Toll of Conflict: A historical comparison of humanity's bloodiest conflicts—including World War II, the Taiping Rebellion, the Mongol Conquests, and World War I—demonstrating how previous mass casualties pale in comparison to what is prophesied for the second half of the Tribulation. Satan’s Ultimate Harvest: Understanding why the enemy instigates warfare, utilizing mass casualties to quickly harvest souls before they can find salvation. Geopolitics in 2026: A candid discussion on current global flashpoints, including conflicts involving Iran, Russia and Ukraine, Sudan, and the Middle East, viewing them through the lens of biblical prophecy.

We've been studying the Book of Revelation here lately as part of our thru the Bible study. During the Tribulation period the Lord will send out two witnesses to testify of His grace, love and forgiveness. Though they'll have the power and authority of God they'll be opposed at every turn. Similarly we're called to be God's witnesses in a hostile environment. Thankfully we have the power of the Spirit to help.

Send us a messageIn end times prophecy, many Bible Scholars see The United Nations as a formidable precursor to the “Beast” of Revelation, due to its pursuit of global governance, international law, and a centralized economic or peace system representing the political alliance of nations that will precede the Return of Christ. But perhaps the most significant role the UN could be playing is in the religious aspect of the Beast's Global Empire.While many are aware of the political, social, and civic roles the UN plays throughout the world, what remains largely unknown is the hidden religious mandate to usher in a global religion, and to keep its ties to the occult. And remember that the systems of the world are ruled by Lucifer with his Satanic agenda at the forefront. To uncover the UN's veiled spiritual agenda, and to establish the connection with Revelation 13,  in Part 1 we'll take a close look at the beliefs and plans of prominent occultists and their offshoots. In Part 2, we'll reveal how this all fits in with the UN, the Rapture, and the Tribulation of God's Wrath upon an unbelieving world.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

The enemy says bow or burn. But if you do not bow, you will not burn, but instead the 4th Man will manifest Himself to you, and bring you through the fiery furnace, as we see in Daniel 3. Who is this 4th Man? Derek explores the themes of steadfast faith and divine deliverance, emphasising the power of God to protect and elevate those who remain true in their faith. Witness the miraculous intervention of the 4th Man in the fiery furnace, a powerful symbol of Jesus Christ's Presence with us in times of trial.

How does the tribulation relate to the return of Christ? And what happens regarding the rapture and the final judgment? My husband and I were reconciled after being separated for nine years, and you married us. Thank you! How should we interpret Genesis 6:4 regarding "sons of God," "daughters of men," "giants" and "men of renown"?

Did Jesus teach a post-tribulation rapture? In this episode, Pastor Brian Gunter examines Matthew 24:29–31, where Jesus says He gathers His elect "immediately after the tribulation." By comparing Scripture with Scripture—including Isaiah 13, Daniel 7, 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Thessalonians 4, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Revelation—Brian presents the historic premillennial understanding of Christ's return, the resurrection, the trumpet call, and the gathering of believers. Whether you hold to pre-tribulation, post-tribulation, amillennialism, or are still studying the issue, this episode carefully examines what Jesus Himself taught about the timing of His coming.

God is not like us. It's a very human tendency to try to make Him like us, or to frame our thoughts about Him in human terms - but it's wrong. When the seraphs cry "Holy, holy, holy," they declare that God is separate, apart, other. This week Jim will help us understand some of the "most different differences" between the Creator and His creatures. He'll talk about God's eternal existence, His infinite knowledge and power, and his immutable character.
