Making Spiritual Decisions (Revisiting Ezekiel 21)
This week’s episode is a recent sermon I preached on Ezekiel 21. As I open the episode, I explain why I wanted to share it here…Video available of this week's episode! Watch it here: https://youtu.be/Rtk4oaiOyU8Some decisions are just too big to be left to chance. There are some decisions in life that are so huge, you wouldn’t dare flip a coin on them.What career you want to have.Who to marry.Which house to buy.Whether to challenge your 6-year-old to a Fortnite rematch after he destroyed you the last time.These are weighty matters to consider. And yet, you would actually see people in the Bible casting lots to make some of these types of big decisions. Decisions of going into battle, figuring out who was guilty of a crime- and even matters of life and death.Ancient peoples had lots of weird, kooky ways of doing things. The weird thing about it to me…is that it worked.God often worked through people casting lots- literally playing games of chance- to reveal His will to them and to guide them to the correct choice.If God revealed His will like that to them, would God reveal His will like that to me?If you want to get in touch with me, send an email to crossreferencespodcast@gmail.comIf you’re looking for a detailed Ezekiel Bible study, cross-referenced with supporting scripture, this podcast will provide an in-depth look at the prophets of the Bible, with clear Bible prophecy explained.

Sacrifices in the Millennium?!? The Ezekiel series, part 81 (Chapters 45-46)
Video available of this episode! Follow this link: https://youtube.com/live/PgafyQOcVEU?feature=shareWe’ve been studying in the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus for the past few months here on the podcast, and today we’ll returning to Ezekiel once again to see what he has to say about it.You may remember that Ezekiel was a priest, and yet he was carried off to Babylon as a captive before his priesthood would have began on his 30th birthday, so he never got to serve in the Jerusalem Temple.However, in the last 9 chapters of his book, God gives Ezekiel something that’s pretty special: a time-traveling tour of the future Temple that will be in Jerusalem for the thousand year reign of Christ.So we’ve been talking about that tour and covered 5 chapters of it so far. We’ll cover two more tonight. I’m not sure if I’ve commented on this yet, but this is actually Ezekiel’s SECOND temple tour in his book.He was also given a visionary temple tour of the Jerusalem temple back in chapters 8 through 11, and that one didn’t go so well. He bore witness to all the terrible things taking place within God’s holy temple. That vision was kind of a bummer. The glory of God LEFT.In this tour though, the glory of God came back. So the future looks bright in God’s Kingdom.Except for one thing we see taking place in this future Temple that doesn’t look so pleasant. If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve heard that there will be sacrifices taking place in this Millennial Temple.Why would there be sacrifices taking place when Jesus was the once-and-for-all sacrifice on the cross at Calvary? Doesn’t Hebrews make it pretty clear that God doesn’t need anymore sacrifices for sins?We’re going to discuss that today on the Cross References podcast.If you want to get in touch with me, send an email to crossreferencespodcast@gmail.com0:00 - Introduction4:25 - Ezekiel 45, Land Allotments around the Temple17:00 - Fair Leadership25:00 - Sacrifices in the Final Temple37:25 - Ezekiel 46, Return of Feasts and Levitical Practices46:30 - Regulations in the Final Temple56:00 - Next Time & Closing ThoughtsIf you’re looking for a detailed Ezekiel Bible study, cross-referenced with supporting scripture, this podcast will provide an in-depth look at the prophets of the Bible, with clear Bible prophecy explained.

The Government on His Shoulders: Society in the Millennium
Video available of this episode! Follow this link: https://youtube.com/live/uozruwJ8R9g?feature=shareWe love to quote this at Christmastime about the baby Jesus:Isaiah 9:6-76 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.What many don’t realize is that only the first seven words of verse 6 pertained to Christmas: “for to us a child is born…” Then there was a 33-year gap, followed by the next six words: “to us a son is given;”And after those words has been a gap 2,000 years and counting.The government has not been placed upon His shoulders yet. But when it is: what will it be like? That’s what we’ll be discussing today on the Cross References podcast.If you want to get in touch with me, send an email to crossreferencespodcast@gmail.comIf you’re looking for a detailed Ezekiel Bible study, cross-referenced with supporting scripture, this podcast will provide an in-depth look at the prophets of the Bible, with clear Bible prophecy explained.

Millennial Kingdom Rewards: How to LOSE Them
I recently re-read Dave Ramsey’s book on a Total Money Makeover. It gives you the baby steps you can take to be completely financially independent and financially healthy and even financially wealthy. It often says if you’ll live like no one else now, you can live like no one else later. Meaning if you’ll live a very frugal and sacrificial life today, you can experience a life of abundance in your later years. A lot of us think about financial security for the future. We pay into social security. We pay into retirement accounts, Roth IRAs and investments. We accumulate land, property and possessions; we build equity in our homes. All so that we can spend the last 10 or 20 years we have on this planet as comfortably as possible.Now, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with saving for retirement. There’s nothing wrong with Dave Ramsey’s book; like I said, I’ve read it twice. I encourage you to read it at least once as well.But those retirement years are a drop in the bucket compared to the time we’re going to spend in the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus. And of course, statistically those 20 years are nothing compared to our eternities in heaven. So we are way way off-base, I would say, with how much time we spend planning for our retirement compared to how much time we spend planning for forever. And it’s one thing to earn rewards. That’s what we talked about in last week’s episode. But did you know the Bible also has quite a bit to say about losing them? I mean, think of the devastation you’d feel if you lost your retirement account.What a tragedy of an even greater magnitude to put in the work and the effort and the accomplishment of gaining a millennial kingdom reward only to lose it? And what are the things we can do to lose our rewards?

Millennial Kingdom Rewards: How to Earn Them
Video available of this episode! Follow this link: https://www.youtube.com/live/P8JUFPp4yjM?si=oAx7LmN6sb5AsLjvYou’ve probably heard sermons or bible studies before about eternal rewards. You’ve probably heard sermons or bible studies before on the judgment seat of Christ. But have you ever thought specifically about what rewards you can gain for the Millennial Kingdom: that thousand-year period where Christ reigns on planet earth physical after the tribulation and second coming of Christ?This is not heaven. Heaven’s gonna go on forever. But the Millennial Kingdom will be its own unique time period. We’ve been studying it lately here on the podcast.And what I’m finding is that a lot of the verses that we apply to our future in heaven might more accurately apply to this Millennial Kingdom. Including some of the verses on our rewards.So you’ve probably heard about Eternal Rewards before. But today I want us to specifically focus on those millennial kingdom rewards.And probably what you’d most like to know about them:What you can do to earn them.That’s what you’ll find out today on the Cross References podcast.If you want to get in touch with me, send an email to crossreferencespodcast@gmail.comIf you’re looking for a detailed Ezekiel Bible study, cross-referenced with supporting scripture, this podcast will provide an in-depth look at the prophets of the Bible, with clear Bible prophecy explained.

Your Role in the Millennial Reign of Christ: The Ezekiel series, part 80 (Chapter 44)
Video available of this episode! Follow this link: https://www.youtube.com/live/_oElM-BMWgs?si=oVEnJOqYG0YY00tPAt the start of this year, I heard a tremendous quote that has motivated me like nothing else.“If you died today, what dreams would die with you?”Man, that has lit a fire under me going into 2025. I’m 34. I am getting a greater grasp of the passage of time. I’m realizing my time on this earth is limited. I’m recognizing that all these dreams and ideas I’ve had that I’d like to do in my life have a time limit, and if I don’t start making them happen, I might run out of time to ever make them happen. So it’s been a very motivating thought, like I said. And I hope you’ll take it seriously for your life, too.What if I told you the gifts you have do not have to die with you, the dreams you have do not necessarily die with you, the plans of things you’d like to someday do will not necessarily die with you?If those dreams and ideas are of God, they may have a purpose beyond your lifetime. They could be fulfilled in the MillenniumAs we look at Ezekiel 44 today, we’ll find out that our purpose in the thousand-year-reign of Christ might have a parallel to our purposes right now today?

8 Things You Need to Know about the Millennium
Video available of this episode! Follow this link: https://www.youtube.com/live/Qdg9ONoxKNQ?si=a_J62CCUPq9OfLgpThe way you interpret the Millennium does not just affect how you read Revelation 20.The way you interpret the thousand-year Kingdom of Christ will affect how you read Isaiah 60 through 66, Ezekiel 40-48, Daniel 2 and 7, Micah 4, Zechariah 14, and virtually every book of the New Testament.As I said in last week’s study, I take the premillennialism view of the end times. I believe Jesus comes back, and then the Millennium begins, and that it continues for a literal 1000-year period.But even among us premillennialism Christians, things start to get a little fuzzy after that. What will it be like to live on the earth for a thousand years with Christ as a literal, physical King? Will there still be individual nations, or just one giant nation? Will the world still have wars? Will it be possible to sin when Christ is ruling on the throne?And what are you and I going to be doing during all that time?Those are questions that I plan to answer over the next 10 or so weeks of this podcast, but I’m going to give you the big-picture broad-overview of the Millennium today today on the Cross References podcast.Watch last week’s episode about the 4 Views of the Millennium here: https://www.youtube.com/live/xuwnGPmx_yA?si=ryPO9CiNuV5lrY69If you want to get in touch with me, send an email to crossreferencespodcast@gmail.comIf you’re looking for a detailed Ezekiel Bible study, cross-referenced with supporting scripture, this podcast will provide an in-depth look at the prophets of the Bible, with clear Bible prophecy explained.

4 Views of the Millennium
Watch a video version of today’s lesson right here! https://www.youtube.com/live/xuwnGPmx_yAEschatology- or the end times- is a controversial topic among Christians. Not just controversial: denominations divide, pastors are kicked out of their churches, and the Twitter wars rage fiercely all because of differing beliefs about how the end times will play out.And frankly, it’s for good reason. What you believe about things to come plays a big part in how we live our our Christian faith in the present. So we want to make sure we have all our ducks in a row when it comes to eschatology. So what are the major views about the end times that cause Christians to draw their theological lines in the sand? Well, it all starts with what you think of this thing often called “The Millennium,” or the one-thousand-year reign of Christ talked about in Revelation 20. Well, we’ve got to get this ironed out because Ezekiel 40 through 48 all take place during the millennium, and that’s what we’ll be studying in 2025 on this podcast.I want to talk about the four main views of the Millennium today- and where I come down on it, and how I’ll be interpreting these last 9 chapters of Ezekiel- on the Cross References podcast.If you want to get in touch with me, send an email to crossreferencespodcast@gmail.comIf you’re looking for a detailed Ezekiel Bible study, cross-referenced with supporting scripture, this podcast will provide an in-depth look at the prophets of the Bible, with clear Bible prophecy explained.

The Heptadic Structure of the Bible: Why God Likes to do Things in 7s: The Ezekiel series, part 77
As I was going through Ezekiel 38 and 39- which were the two chapters on Gog and Magog where we left off in Ezekiel- I was struck by all the 7s that kept coming up. Like how the weapons were going to be burned for seven years following that conflict. Or how the bodies would be left untouched for seven months. One aspect I didn’t comment on in those two chapters is that the verses are divided up into 7 different sections to explain the story of Gog and Magog.The way some people calculate it, they even believe Israel will be attacked by seven nations in that battle. And those aren’t the only sevens in Ezekiel. So before we launch into the final section of the book of Ezekiel in 2025, let’s just take a week and talk about a subject that’s a little strange, kind of a diversion, but something that could give us a big tool for our tool belts when it comes to Bible interpretation.And you’ll find out what it is today on the Cross References podcast.0:00 - The Meaning of 78:30 - Matthew’s Beginning18:30 - Mark’s EndingIf you want to get in touch with me, send an email to crossreferencespodcast@gmail.comIf you’re looking for a detailed Ezekiel Bible study, cross-referenced with supporting scripture, this podcast will provide an in-depth look at the prophets of the Bible, with clear Bible prophecy explained.

Today, I am sharing an episode from my other podcast, Weird Stuff in the Bible. Each week, I dive into a different weird topic regarding bizarre things in scripture. Hear more by subscribing to this podcast as well! Most Christians are regularly outwitted by Satan, and most Christians have no idea about his schemes- his devices- his designs. We like to blame Satan for a lot of problems in life. The degradation of society, the strife in our families, the flat tire I got last Tuesday, whatever happened to Marvel after Endgame…And I think it’s a fair question to ask: what the heck is this guy’s problem? What’s his deal? How does he expect to possibly defeat God? What’s his master plan?I find Satan to be weird, and I’d like to understand what he’s doing throughout the Bible.Turn to Genesis 3, and let’s get weird.0:00 - Introduction2:50 - Genesis 3-46:50 - Genesis 5-611:00 - Genesis 1215:00 - II Samuel 721:30 - Closing ThoughtsIf you want to get in touch, my email is weirdstuffinthebible@gmail.comHosted by Luke TaylorIf you’re intrigued by strange Bible stories, uncovering Bible mysteries, or learning about unusual biblical teachings, this podcast is for you!

The Aftermath of Gog and Magog: The Ezekiel series, part 76 (39:9-29)
It’s not over until God says it’s over. And last week, we covered what happens in the battle of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38 and 39, when a coalition of nations band together to attack Israel in the last days. But of all the battles described in the Bible, this is the only one that goes into any detail about the aftermath. Ezekiel 39:9-29 is like that post-credits scene in a Marvel movie. Only the participants of this battle are not sitting around eating schwarma. They ARE the schwarma.Why does the Bible spend several verses talking about the clean-up after this battle?

The Battle of Gog and Magog: The Ezekiel series, part 75 (38:17-39:8)
In 1948, Israel was attacked by a coalition of five nations. The Israelis were outnumbered 2 to 1, outgunned 3 to 1, outclassed in every way, and yet they were victorious against their enemies.In 1967, Israel was attacked again by another coalition of nations. They again were outnumbered 3 to 1, outgunned 4 to 1, outclassed in every way, and yet they were victorious against their enemies.In the future- perhaps the near future- Israel is going to suffer another attack: from Russia, Iran, Turkey, and a few nations in Africa. Russia alone is 800 times larger than Israel. We don’t quite yet know how much they will be outnumbered, outgunned and outclassed. But we do know how it’s going to turn out.

Why Gog Invades Israel: The Ezekiel series, part 74 (38:12-16)
You might think that there’s been a lot of things going on the world this past week, and this month, and this year- but that’s nothing in comparison to what’s coming in the future. The Bible has a lot to say about the future. In fact, if you added up all the things the Bible says about future things that haven’t even happened yet, there would be more pages about things yet to come than it even said about any other time period- even the time that Jesus spent on this earth in the four Gospels. And one of the next things we could see happening soon is a coalition of nations who invade Israel in the last days. We aren’t talking about the timing of this attack; we talked out all those theories last week. Today, the question I want to analyze is “why?” What is it that drives Russia to partner with Turkey, Libya, Iran and Sudan to eliminate Israel?Most of those nations are Muslim, and it wouldn’t take much to get them to attack Israel. Some of them are already trying. But how does Russia fit into all this?You’ll find out today on the Cross References podcast.0:00 - Introduction1:30 - v10-11, The Land5:20 - v12-13, The Wealth14:50 - v14-16, The People17:25 - The Ukraine WarIf you want to get in touch with me, send an email to crossreferencespodcast@gmail.comIf you’re looking for a detailed Ezekiel Bible study, cross-referenced with supporting scripture, this podcast will provide an in-depth look at the prophets of the Bible, with clear Bible prophecy explained.

The Timing of Gog and Magog: The Ezekiel series, part 73 (38:7-11)
Many Bible prophecy teachers have incorrectly said something about Gog and Magog’s battle in Ezekiel 38, and I might be one of them. We have incorrectly said that Gog and Magog could happen at any moment. Upon some careful study of the words here, I no longer think it could happen at literally any moment. I believe there are a few things that need to take place before Gog and Magog can come about. Gog and Magog, at a minimum, is several months away. It could be years. It could even be a thousand years. There’s a lot of possibilities, and we’ll talk about those possibilities today on the Cross References podcast.0:00 - v7-11, A Land of Unwalled Villages11:00 - A Timeline of Things to Come13:30 - #1, Before the Tribulation20:00 - #2, At the Beginning of the Tribulation26:30 - #3, Armageddon32:00 - #4, End of the Millennium38:00 - Next Time & Closing ThoughtsIf you want to get in touch with me, send an email to crossreferencespodcast@gmail.comIf you’re looking for a detailed Ezekiel Bible study, cross-referenced with supporting scripture, this podcast will provide an in-depth look at the prophets of the Bible, with clear Bible prophecy explained.

The Nations of Gog’s Alliance: The Ezekiel series, part 72 (38:5-6)
The Bible has a lot of strange locations thrown at us in Ezekiel 38 and 39. Persia, Cush, Put, Gomer, Meshech, Tubal, Beth-Togarmah, Mos Eisley, Alderaan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’d need a time machine to know where all these places are. In fact, you’d need a space ship, too, because some of them only exist in a galaxy far, far away. Since we don’t have time travel technology all figured out yet, we’ll have to rely on history to tell us where all these places are. But why is knowing all these names important, anyway? Because these are the nations or peoples who are prophesied to come against Israel in an epic battle in the last days. The famous prophecy of Gog and Magog.And this prophecy’s fulfillment may be close. And it may not. That’s why we have to understand what nations we should be watching closely. Once we’ve established who is who in this biblical drama, we’ll know how to see them coming into alignment with this prophecy- and perhaps be able to track how close we are to Gog and Magog’s battle play out. I’ll teach you the signs we’re looking for today on the Cross References podcast.0:00 - Introduction5:00 - Persia9:50 - Cush12:50 - Put14:10 - Gomer and Beth-Togarmah18:00 - Closing ThoughtsIf you want to get in touch with me, send an email to crossreferencespodcast@gmail.comIf you’re looking for a detailed Ezekiel Bible study, cross-referenced with supporting scripture, this podcast will provide an in-depth look at the prophets of the Bible, with clear Bible prophecy explained.

Who is Gog?: The Ezekiel series, part 71 (38:1-4)
We’re finally here, the most famous section of Ezekiel: chapters 38 and 39. The battle of Gog and Magog.This chapter is about an alliance of nations that band together to attack Israel in the end times. The list of nations includes names like Cush, Put, Togarmah and more, and they’re led by a figure named Gog. I don’t know about you, but these sound like someone in Scrabble trying to make up words with whatever tiles they have left. In fact, it’s hard to know who all it’s talking about unless we do some historical research to find out what these words meant to Ezekiel’s original audience.
