Because my Kickstarter launching the last part to my End Times Chronicles sci-fi series ENDS TOMORROW, I thought I would drop one final Religion + Fiction Podcast episode exploring the theology behind my own apocalyptic series.

Because this modern end times series is not yo mama’s end times series :)

While major blockbusters suppose Christians will be taken from Earth in a secret snatching just before those apocalyptic events of the Great Tribulation unfold, I (and frankly the historic Church) suppose otherwise.

This episode will give you the theological background to the series if you’re still wondering what the adventure is all about, especially how I approach the enigmatic events of the Book of Revelation — from a rising apostasy that ravages the Church to a rising apocalypse that destroys the world.

And of course how to survive a rising Antichrist and the persecution he bears pressuring believers to abandon their faithful allegiance to Christ and submit to the Red Dragon in order to survive.

Survival will hinge on the Resistance, which is the only way during these last days. Allegiance to Christ will be challenged. But through it all, victory is assured — for Christ will triumph over his enemies, and the Church’s!

Don’t worry: this isn’t a heavy theological deep-dive! The episode will help you frame John’s Apocalypse for yourself, even if you don’t read my own fictional portrayal of it. So if you’ve always wanted to understand how the end of the world as we know it unfolds, take a listen! And if you’re curious, one of the major influences on my own understand is George Ladd’s A Commentary on the Revelation of John.

The End Times Chronicles saga captures the heart of the Church's mission in these last days — offering a unique, page-turning adventure that not only entertains through thrilling action and mysterious suspense, but explores the urgency of our own day and inspires for the journey of faith.

Enjoy the episode taking a final behind-the-scenes peek into my own end times series! If you missed the previous two, check out the inspiration behind the series and get to know the heroes of the SEPIO Resistance!

If you’re interested in a modern take on the apocalypse, follow the Kickstarter story project and start the adventure for as little as $5. Tomorrow is the last day to grab exclusives to the campaign, so dive into the apocalyptic adventure today!
