Prophecy Episodes

Today is the final episode of our A.I. mini-series. It began with a hard question: could AI bring about the end of humanity? We didn’t choose that question as click-bait. The warning comes from the people building these systems. Some have asked whether they mean it, or whether fear simply makes good marketing. After all, nothing gets attention like the end of the world. But the alarm isn’t coming only from the builders. Researchers in AI safety are sounding it too, many of them with nothing t...

“Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost…?” (Luke 14:28) There’s a story about Joseph, Jacob’s son. God showed Pharaoh in a dream that famine was coming to the whole world, and Joseph told Pharaoh what to do: “Let Pharaoh appoint commissioners over the land… They should collect all the food of these good years… to be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine” (Genesis 41:34–36). Joseph prepared Egypt not only t...

Every magician knows the oldest trick in the trade: get the audience to watch one hand while the other does the real work. For months the AI conversation has circled one question: is AI going to end humanity? My first answer was, of course not, any more than my SUV is going to back itself out of the garage and run somebody over. Then it hit me. AI could be driving that SUV sooner than we think. We’re approaching an interesting crossroads, where we build autonomy into the idol. But what if even...

If you read Revelation, the End Times are about a global dominant power. Right now, we are living in a world of competing towers. I'm not sure that race is winnable for reasons we get into in the discussion. Perhaps what sticks out the most from this deep dive is this. If rivals cannot win by building the better model, they will compete for what cannot be copied: the chips, the factories that make them, the power plants, and the payment systems. The race moves down to the physical layer. That m...

Today we are taking a short break from The Parables. For the next 5 podcasts, we are going to address the elephant in the room. And actually, the elephant is responding back! Let me explain. I think in the last month especially, but longer if you’re paying attention, there is growing concern that AI could end humanity. You’ve heard the fatalistic predictions. Artificial intelligence will outthink us, outwork us, and one day decide it no longer needs us. Some of the people saying it aren’t frin...

Walk into any Christian bookstore and you’ll find nearly as many readings of Revelation as there are readers. Most of them make the same mistake: they pick one way of reading the book (preterist, historicist, futurist, or idealist) and force every chapter to fit it. This episode takes a different approach. Instead of choosing a bucket first, we let the text tell us what kind of reading each passage needs. Revelation holds five layers: what its first readers were living the Old Testamen...

A lot is happening in the news and just to be sure it wasn’t just something I’m seeing because it’s something I’m interested in (which is how news is curated to the individual these days), I went to Google trends for some perspective. We looked at both Israel and Iran and then a lot of other stuff. Then when we felt we were on solid ground, we checked the headlines. Not the ones on the local news feeds. We checked the headlines of prophecy to build the picture of what we’re seeing. In fact, we r...

I listened to a recent podcast by Tom Bilyeu, and it is brilliant in its scope. But I don't think it goes far enough, and in Tom's secular world, it wouldn't. Tom is not coming at this from Scripture, so you might write off the title of his video as nothing but clickbait: "AI Antichrist." Don't. You can watch the whole thing here: A.I. AntiChrist. It's worth watching, and worth understanding. Tom is a marketer who built and sold a company, and he knows what a product launch looks like. What he s...

Solving the Mystery of the Restrainer was the subject of a recent podcast. However, once we landed on the identity of the restrainer, we noticed a whole new window of revelation open. The baseball coach or the tennis coach refers to the follow-through. You don’t swing at the ball; you swing through it. Done correctly, the ball flies much farther. The original article opened some doors that were literally that - open. Once you walk through the doors, you see what’s on the other side with amazing...

There’s a passage that was uttered by Paul in Thessalonians that has puzzled Christians for centuries: 2 Thessalonians 2-5-7. Something or someone was restraining the full appearance of the lawless one until God's appointed time. Paul assumes his readers knew the identity of this restraining force from previous teaching. There are many theories and that’s all that you can call them. And that’s how we left it in our prior podcast. But then I decided to dig deeper on the premise that no, we don’...

We’ve fallen for this, I admit it. I mean us too. Rabbit Holes and Meditations is a journey. You can easily pull up our podcasts on Rapture and see a variety of interpretations. We don’t hide what we used to believe. The point is that we keep searching. Today, I rest in this one thought. If a person can imagine an end times scenario where he is looking up to the heavens and wondering why he is still standing there and his brother was taken, wondering why perhaps his brother was raptured and he ...

I know you're hearing it in every religious circle. We are in end times. Right? It's right around the corner. We will see Christ return in our lifetime. There is a lot going on in the world. Iran! AI! Economic uncertainty. Christian persecution (if you're not seeing this, you have to perhaps look outside your own social bubble), Political uncertainty. Transhumanism. Israel instability. Ukraine. and on and on. And very often, in that same circle, the is a person with the charts - mapping out th...

I was just watching the news this morning and wondering what the world would be like if we consumed our Bible like we do the news. Soundbites curated by those hearing the news and changing the channel or switching to a different feed when the news doesn’t just fit what you believe to be true. I think we live our daily lives in our own curated state of delusion sometimes. So today, you are confronted with the debate of the Christian and the Muslim. You switch to the proper channel that feeds you...

We recently discussed two corrections associated with modern Biblical prophecy. The Holy of Holies of Bible Prophecy, and The Continual were discussed in previous podcasts deconstructing the text in Daniel 9 and in Daniel 12 respectively. This podcast posits the theory that there are two deceptions running concurrently. There is the false religion which details the Islam religion. It is not just a counterfeit to Christianity, it’s end times eschatology mirrors Christian end times even with a cas...

In our last study, we asked a single question about Daniel chapter nine, verse twenty-seven: where does the text say that the one who confirms the covenant is the Antichrist? The answer was that it doesn't. The identification is supplied. But an alert reader has a comeback ready, and it's a good one. It's three chapters later. Daniel twelve, verse eleven — the daily sacrifice taken away, the abomination set up, twelve hundred and ninety days counted from that moment. That's the end. That's futu...

A well-known pastor recently laid out thirty-seven numbered events of the end times in under an hour — the rapture, the treaty, the temple, the mark, Armageddon, the kingdom. Rapid-fire citations. Confident delivery. And one instruction repeated to his audience: don't listen to me — go check the Bible yourself. So we did. What we found wasn't heresy. It was something more interesting. All thirty-seven points hang from a single word in Daniel 9:27 — the pronoun "he." Who confirms the covenant wi...

Ask any Christian for a who’s who as it relates to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and you’ll get a straight-up answer. But flip the script and ask about Satan, the Beast, the False Prophet, the Image of the Beast, and you start raising an eyebrow or two. In this podcast, we want to clear up some of that confusion.

I don't get rattled much by what's going on in the world, but the production of this podcast has stirred some anxiousness deep in my soul. Not because of what Revelation says, but because of the plausibility of what we're presenting. Everybody watching the field of AI has no doubt crossed paths with Yampolskiy. We watched an interview with him and then asked a simple question. Can we extrapolate what Yampolskiy is saying and overlay it on the text of Revelation? Just to begin with a guardrail ...

For three thousand years the prophets mocked the idols of the nations with a single taunt: "They have mouths, but they speak not... there is no breath at all in the midst of it" (Psalm 115:5; Habakkuk 2:19). Every idol in history was silent. Then Revelation 13 describes the day the silence ends — an image made by human hands, given breath, that speaks, deceives, and enforces worship. This podcast highlights a study that builds from the ground up, the way a Berean would. Four footings, poured ...

If you have followed this podcast for some time, you might detect some discrepancies. And you would be right. I’m not what many would call a seasoned Christian. My journey as a Christian has been but a few short years. Perhaps my life was preparing me for the journey, only God can say, because when I finally embarked on this journey, it was what many would describe as fervent, zealous - even fanatical if you ask some. I have a “four to eight” program (Go to bed at 4 PM, get up at 4 AM, study un...

I know the questions. I was a staunch atheist before I ever took the bible seriously. These will throw any Christian off his game: Where did the dinosaurs come from? Why aren’t pyramids ever mentioned in the bible? Our science dates the earth millions of years before Genesis… how does the Bible explain that? There are monolithic structures that not only pre-date the bible, they pre-date humanity if you consider the biblical timeline of 6000 years plus or minus. How was that possible? That’s...

Typically when you embark on a journey to study end times in the bible you’re are bounced between Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel, Zechariah with a little Matthew 24 and 24. Here, though, in season 5, As we walk through the Bible landing where God interacted with His creation, we are way back at the beginning and whatever the temple of the day was, we’re still seeing the connections leap off the page straight through the cross into Revelation. Honestly, we were hoping this would happen. We wanted to...

Today we're continuing our journey through one of the most important themes in all of Scripture: the temple. When most Christians hear the word temple, they think of a building in Jerusalem. Some think of Solomon's Temple. Others think of a future temple still waiting to be built. But what if the story begins much earlier than that? What if the temple was never primarily about a building at all? In this series, we're tracing the temple from its very beginning, following the thread from Eden th...

One of the temptations of reading ancient biblical text is to dismiss it as, well, ancient. Like it doesn’t apply to us. We are much more sophisticated, more cultured, wiser, smarter, more civilized. At least that is probably the thought running through a passive reading… until you pull back the curtain on today.
