Chris is discussing, from the biblical text, why he believes the Islamic Antichrist theory is inaccurate.

Ron Wallace begins a multi-part series on exactly what Jesus taught about His second coming. In this first episode, Ron teaches about "The Time Period of the End," "The End of the Age," and "The Age to Come."

Charles Cooper continues his four-part presentation where he argues for the far more critical focus on "ruling with Christ" following the Bema Seat Judgment, rather than trying to figure out the timing of the Rapture. In this episode, Charles picks up using Hebrews 12:2 where we are reminded that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Throne of God, and that the saints will ultimately reign with Him. As we understand this supreme position of Jesus Christ, and our relationship with Him...

In this episode, Marquis discusses Revelation chapter 15 answering the question, "When does this scene take place and what does that tell us about the timing of other key prophetic events?"    

Charles Cooper offers this four-part presentation where he argues for the far more critical focus on "ruling with Christ" following the Bema Seat Judgment, rather than trying to figure out the timing of the Rapture. It is essential, and you can be confident, that you will face the Bema Seat. However, your chances of being alive at the appearance of the physical manifestation of God on earth are less and less certain with each day you get older. Let’s make our priority what Jesus...

The Beast of the Sea (Antichrist) and The Beast of the Earth (False Prophet) have risen to power and are dominating the world scene. A part of this rise is the use of various devices not only to secure this power, but achieve world-wide worship. The first device used was miracles, both by the Beast of the Sea and the Beast of the Earth. Many followed after them in worship. Next, the...

Marquis Laughlin, founder of Acts of The Word Ministries, continues his Director’s Commentary series through the Book of Revelation. In this episode, Marquis examines the “harvest at the end of the age” in Revelation 14, and how the participants, timing, and sequence of the events are repeated and emphasized throughout the scriptures.  

Dr. Alan Kurschner explained why pretribulation teachers are not consistent with Jesus's Great Commission: “teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matt 28:20). He worked through Jim McClarty's article critiquing prewrath, responding to his arguments point by point. Dr. Kurschner exposed a deep flaw in McClarty's method of biblical interpretation, where he disconnects the teaching of Jesus from the remaining...

Jake McCandless keeps drawing us back to the core of the Bible’s end time narrative. Much of pop-culture that focuses on the end of the age touts the impact of world-wide government, but the core ofof Scripture is of a very specific regional conflict that spills out into the world. If we do not have a foundation of this regional conflict, then we will likely go down unnecessary -- and unbiblical -- rabbit holes. You can learn more from Jake at www.standfirmministries.com.  

Chris White, with Bible Prophecy Talk Podcast, continues his 11-part series on “The Islamic Antichrist Theory” as he discusses, from the biblical text, why he believes this theory is inaccurate.

Dr. Alan Kurschner gave four reasons why holding to the premillennial view is important and, thus, why the millennial debate is significant. Premillennialism teaches that at Jesus's second coming, he will deliver the righteous and judge the ungodly. Then, the righteous will enter into a period—the millennium—of peace and righteousness, during which Jesus establishes on earth his physical reign over all nations, including a restored nation of Israel that recognizes him as the Messiah. All...

Marquis Laughlin, founder of Acts of The Word Ministries, continues his Director's Commentary series through the Book of Revelation. Today, he discusses Revelation chapter 13 and asks the question: Why is this description of the antichrist and the false prophet so important for us to understand? What is the difference between Satan’s wrath, and God’s wrath? And when will these detailed scenes take place in the context of Daniel’s 70th week?  

Charles Cooper continues his series, "'Twas the Night", by taking a look at the birth analogy used by our Lord in Matthew 24 as the framework to explain his glorious return. The birth analogy can only be fully appreciated in the future by seeing the importance of night before day. Weeping may and will endure for the night, but joy will come for those who see the Day of the Lord.  

Dr. Alan Kurschner rebroadcasted an excellent interview of the late Barry Horner on Chris Arzen's program Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

Chris White, with Bible Prophecy Talk Podcast, continues his 11-part series on “The Islamic Antichrist Theory” as he discusses, from the biblical text, why he believes this theory is inaccurate. Today, in Part 4, Chris focuses on the theory that the Antichrist would be an Assyrian. This view is primarily developed from Isaiah 10 and a passage in the book of Micah.  Using a contextual and exegetical approach to scripture, Chris explains why he thinks this view is artificially contrived.  

Dr. Alan Kurschner responded to the pretribulational tenet that the future seven-year period (i.e., the "70th week of Daniel") is entirely God's wrath. He used Jim McClarty's critique of the prewrath position as his entry point of discussion. Dr. Kurschner demonstrated that the seven-year period is divided up into several periods, because Jesus divides it up into several periods in Matthew 24. There is the beginning of birth pangs, the Antichrist's great tribulation, and the day of the...

Ron Wallace revisits what the Bible has to say about the reign of the Beast. In this episode, Ron looks at the specific details of Satan's plan to undermine the character and plan of God, and to take upon himself the prerogatives of the Godhead.
