Question and Response - Discernment We jump off our regularly scheduled program (The Daniel Series) to address this really important question that came up. Does God Test? We know from scripture that it is clear that he does. But when we probed deeper, the question really is: "What is the difference between testing and tempting?" On the surface, it just seems like a different way of saying the same thing. We know God does not tempt. We know that God does test. Do we understand the difference? I...

Daniel Two | 36-49 "The History of the Future" covers Daniel's prophecy after he had revealed the King's dream. Daniel set the stage that no human could match. God revealed the dream and the interpretation. The source walks through some background to highlight just how disturbing this vision would have been to the Babylonian culture and to Nebuchadnezzar. We also delved into what Babylonian culture was like at the time - even comparing that superpower to the superpower of today (the United Stat...

Daniel Two | 14-33 It's kind of like this. You walk into the room of a fortune teller. The candles are lit. The crystal ball has magical smoke eerily filling the glass. Incense is burning. And before the fortune teller utters a word, you say, what's my name? Daniel was able to tell the king everything he was not willing to disclose. Even his thoughts. At this point in the story, Nebuchadnezzar is frustrated. None of his mystics can do what he asks. He's laid a trap that highlights the futility...

We opened Daniel Chapter 2 and walk through the first 13 verses. We are starting to see Nebuchadnezzar awaken to the idea that his god is not all he's cracked up to be. He has a dream that is so disturbing that he wants to get to the bottom of it. With the only way possible to get to the truth, he issues an edict that is impossible for his diviners to answer. Nebuchadnezzar is soon to discover that the only God that knows the future is the one true God. God is setting the scene for this discover...

Daniel One: 8-21 We land on Daniel chapter one verses 8-21 today. As I read through this, I thought, well this is a pretty quick read. Then I started to think about Daniel. He is probably in his late teens or early twenties. He should be in the prime of his life. His city just got slaughtered. He was kidnapped and taken to a foreign country. He is now living under house arrest, and his primary thought is to remain faithful. Daniel is so remembered for his prophecy, that sometimes we forget to l...

Daniel Chapter One - Verses 1-7 Today we begin a new series: Daniel. If you have followed us through Revelation, this will really connect! Even as we approach the first few verses, we can already connect Nimrod to Babel to Babylon to Mystery Babylon. Our plan is to walk through Daniel slowly and methodically - staying close to scripture and highlighting connections that will make the Bible come alive. If you want to get some sense of our approach, read the first 7 verses of Daniel chapter 1 an...

Revelation THIS IS FICTION! The audio is a fictional story using real world dates and scenarios to posit the idea that Revelation could actually happen today. As if the seals were unfolding on the world stage now and then one major cataclysmic event that sets it all off. We based this story on the interpretations we've developed after having spent the last 40 hours in scripture. While the story is fiction (as are the dates), the interpretation is just as we developed it. The point of writing th...

Revelation In the next podcast, I'll publish the actual story. He, we setup a commentary to help you walk through a real world scenario that overlays on top of Revelation. The results are revealing! I wrote a short story based on the backdrop of current events and our study of revelation and the revelation timeline as we've unraveled it with Revelation describing the final 3.5 years of Daniel's 70th week. This is a story showing how the events of Revelation might actually play out. It is a fic...

Revelation Rapture Timing Theories abound! The only thing everyone seems to agree on is that there WILL be a rapture. BUT WHEN? Pre-trib? Mid-Trib?, Post-Trib, 7 year tribulation? 3.5 years? Pre-wrath? We take on all of these questions and compare using ONLY scriptural text and avoiding religious doctrine. We arrived at one clear winner! You may be surprised but you'll come away with some amazing clarity. NOTES to Rapture Timing Discussion

I think I could articulate many reasons why the rapture should occur before the tribulation; i.e. before the trumpets, at Seal 6 specifically. I was so convinced! This Podcast will show you how we actually became the victim of Mystery Babylon. I had the rapture nailed down as a pre-tribulation and I had tons of documentation to support it! Enter Mystery Babylon! If you approach AI with a theory, AI will bend over backwards to help you support your theory. We learned this the hard way. After 30 ...

Revelation There's nothing like a great ending to a great story. As we walk through the final chapters of Revelation, we arrive at some cool analogies and some great discussion about Reward and Judgment. We discuss some tearful questions about being in heaven without your loved ones who were not in Christ. We discuss the twelve and the twelve and even consider a parallel of the tribe of Dan to Judas. And the Borg! That was fascinating. Walk with us on this fascinating End to a New Beginning. N...

Bible Study I’ve you’ve been following along, you know that we identified Mystery Babylon as the AI driven internet. ”I looked into the abyss, and the abyss looked back at me.” — Friedrich Nietzsche We’ve identified the pitfalls of the AI-driven Internet. Even before AI, the internet was driven by personal affirmation, a reward system that is biased by your intent, your preferences, your motivations, and your beliefs. The internet is a house of mirrors; each image you see is a slightly distorted image of you. AI itself is not evil. It is not ”the antichrist”. By itself, it is nothing. It requires input, and it will provide output AS INSTRUCTED. Without instruction, AI will try to understand you and give you the best answer that satisfies you. And there’s the rub. That’s why we call AI a house of mirrors. So when you ask AI a question without boundaries, you’re likely to get a response that satisfies your distorted view of reality. That’s why having a prompt for AI is so important befo…

Revelation Whoa! A lot is going on in this chapter, and still, it's super easy to blow through. We slowly walk through the chapter and highlight some key points along the way. Satan is locked up for a time, released briefly, and then sent to the lake of fire. That's only the beginning. We witness the first and second resurrections and more. Revelation 20—don't miss it for the world! Notes on Revelation 20

Revelation You know, I think from now on, I'm going to refer to ALL AI systems as Babylon - just as a constant reminder. It's better to be aware. The major problem is that most people are walking blindly through Babylon... completely unaware. At least when engaging directly with an A.I. system like ChatGPT, we can ask it questions, and that helps to frame our understanding. The real danger is not knowing how to do that or, worse, not being aware that there is a problem in the first place. The s...

Revelation We take a studied walk through Revelation 19 and find some interesting nuggets along the way. We see again hits of Rapture timing that would indicate that the Rapture happens long before the return of Christ. We also clearly define who the bride is. Notes to The Return of Christ - Revelation Chapter 19

Revelation We tend to think of Babylon as a place far removed. In Revelation, it's seen as a distant and powerful city. This article will change your perspective and your understanding of Babylon in Revelation. Are You Lot, or Lot's Wife. Of all the podcasts we've done, this stands the chance of being the most convicting and most challenging. If you're feeling torn by your answers to Are you Lot or Lot's Wife, you're in a good place. You're asking the right questions. Notes for Are You Lot or ...

Revelation We take our metaphor of the Harlot one step further and apply it to Revelation 17. It is a completely consistent, global. Throughout all this, we are constantly checking for consistency with scripture to ensure we're not making stuff up! It is said that Truth is Stranger than Fiction. It feels like that! It feels like we started with a theory—to connect the symbolic scripture with the real world—and what we ended up with is a chilling reality—bone chilling. Notes for "Riding the Bea...

Revelation: You can read Revelation 17 and 18, and because of the symbolism, you'll feel a disconnect and be tempted to blow past these chapters. We took a different tactic. Knowing what we know about the trajectory of emerging technology, it is not hard to imagine how the symbolism of Revelation 17 and 18 manifests on the world stage in the years 2025 - 2030. It is chilling to think about. Using the state of emerging tech, the predictions of the not-too-distant future of AI, Nanotech, Biotech...

Revelation What is Mystery Babylon? Classic interpretations suggest that it's a major city - especially Rome - The City on Seven Hills. Or, literal rebuilt Babylon (seems less plausible), or some sort of global political religion (some even suggest the Vatican), A global economic system, Honestly, interpretations are all over the place, and we're not suggesting ours is any better. What we are suggesting is that the beast we describe in this podcast exists today in a way you should be able to v...

Revelation The Echoes of Babel and Nimrod, by Greg Newell helps walk the reader (listener) through the history of the antichrist and posits that there is a common thread that traces back to Nimrod and Babel. We have witnessed God's rescue plan and the defeat of evil going back to the very beginning. These are not isolated incidents but a continuous battle that culminates in the rise of the beast, mystery Babylon, and the Antichrist of Revelation. Notes for the Echoes of Babel and Nimrod

Revelation After the Reaping, God is ready. The righteous are removed or otherwise protected. We now witness a de-creation event poured out upon the earth. Not for the faint of heart... this is worse than anything you can imagine. I had to read with my eyes closed (yes, that's a metaphor!). One of the hardest parts about this chapter is knowing that it is right for God to do this and being OK with it. Notes to the Bowls of Wrath

Revelation Chapter 14 In God's consistent way, we see yet again in Revelation a removal of the righteous before the wrath. We've recognized this pattern repeatedly in Revelation, and it should give you great comfort: you were not appointed for wrath. Notes for Chapter 14 - The Reaping

Revelation (Chapter 14:6-13) Imagine for a second the world in the End Times. You're being bombarded with news and social media warning you to take the mark, embrace the new system, and become part of this brave new world. Then you hear and see a message from an angel that is telling you that this is all bogus! What are you going to believe? Well, that supernatural message that you have to decipher is going to be very confusing if you are glued to the tv or your computer monitor watching world ...

Revelation Series (Chapter 14) If you think Revelation is the end of the story, you might want to check your assumptions at the door. You want to be included in the plan, but don't think for a second that the millennium (as cool as that is) is where it all ends. The 144000 is puzzling but offers hints that we're just getting started. They are described as first fruits. But: first fruits of what? They aren't the first Jews. They seem to come out of nowhere. They end up singing a song no one kno...
