Is last-minute redemption really a cosmic get-out-of-jail-free card, or just another divine loophole? Buckle up for a wild ride through the convoluted world of ancient prophecies and divine justice. In this episode, we recap the eyebrow-raising concept of last-minute salvation from Ezekiel, Chapter 33. Spoiler alert: it's as fair as a rigged carnival game. Then, we dive headfirst into the metaphorical muck of Ezekiel, Chapter 34, where Israel's leaders—those so-called "shepherds"—get called out for being the ancient equivalent of corrupt CEOs. With nods to Little Bo Peep and Toyland, we expose the religious exploitation and class divides that led to some divine smackdowns.

David (or is it Jesus?), adds layers of theological intrigue. We unravel the tangled narratives connecting David and Jesus, questioning the seamlessness of these sacred stories. To top it off, we delve into the prophecy of peace and prosperity, scrutinizing its relevance—or lack thereof—in our modern world. Are we seriously supposed to cling to these ancient texts in the age of iPhones and microwaves? Join us as we sift through the inconsistencies and logical fallacies of these timeworn scriptures, all while maintaining a healthy dose of skepticism. This episode promises to be a thought-provoking journey through ancient and modern faith, challenging you to rethink long-held beliefs.
