The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast

In today's episode, we'll look at the prelude to the final cycle of God's Tribulation Judgment...the Bowl Judgments.  John saw seven Angels coming from the throne room of God who received seven bowls full of the wrath of God.  This final series of judgments completed the outpouring of God's judgments in the Tribulation and prepares us for the wrapping up of these coming events, and the second coming of Christ.  Thank you for listening to The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast.

In this episode, we'll finish working through Revelation 14.  John's vision includes a picture of two reapings...one of the earth's harvest, and another reaping unto wrath.  One is a reaping by the Lord Jesus, while the other is a reaping by an unnamed angel.  The first reaping is the separation of the sheep and goats at the second coming of Christ.  Only believers enter into the millennial kingdom.  The second reaping is the reaping of wrath over Antichrist at the battle of Armageddon.  It is important to recognize that Revelation 14 is a table of contents for chapters 15-19, which will unpack in greater details the agenda items of God revealed in chapter 14.  Thank you for listening to The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast.

In this episode, we'll meet the Beast from the Earth....aka, the False Prophet of the last days.  During the Tribulation, the False Prophet will lead a global religion that compels the world to worship a Satanically animated image of the Antichrist. Everyone across the planet will be required to swear allegiance to him by taking the mark of the beast.  Christians will have a difficult time in these days.  It will be easier for Christians to die in the Lord than to live in the system of the Antichrist. Thank you for listening to The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast.

This week, we'll explore the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet which begins the process of winding down the Tribulation.  Like the green flag dropped at a Nascar race, the race is now on to bring us to the close of the Tribulation....Jesus is beginning to wrap things up!  The checkered flag will be the second coming, the judgment, and the inauguration of the Lord's earthly and eternal rule.  Thank you for listening to The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast.

John learns that two witnesses are sent by God, empowered with supernatural abilities, to witness to the gospel for the last 3.5 years of the Tribulation.  Not only can they slay any enemy with fire from their mouths, but they have the ability to stop the rain and to bring plagues upon the earth.  Every eye across the globe hears their testimony, sees the plagues, and celebrates their death before witnessing them come back to life in resurrection and ascend to the Father in Heaven.  This is such an interesting text that reminds us of God's desire that men would be saved even in the Great Tribulation.  Thank you for listening to The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast.

John saw a vision of a mighty Angel with a little book coming to the earth with a book of judgments...the thunder judgments.  Although John heard the thunders, he was instructed to seal these judgments until the time of the end.  What follows these judgments is the completion of the mystery of the gospel and the kingdom age.  Thank you for listening to The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast.

In this episode we'll see that the breaking of the seventh seal unveils seven new judgments from God...the Trumpet Judgments.  Seven Angels are given seven trumpets and their judgments impact the creation in unusual ways that will certainly make life difficult int he Tribulation.  Remember, Jesus said that nothing like The Tribulation had ever been...or would ever be again.  It's intense!  Thank you for listening to The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast.

In this episode we'll see the Lamb of God break the first six seals of the tribulation scroll.  These seal judgments are the outpouring of the wrath of the Lamb upon the world.  One of the reasons that I hold to a pre-tribulation rapture is because it is the view most consistent with the Gospel.  The wrath of the church has been paid at Calvary's cross.  But we'll see that there will be new believers saved during the Tribulation, both from Israel and from the multitude of Gentile nations.  Thank you for listening to The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast.

John continues his throne room vision of God, the 24 Elders, the Angles, and the living creatures.  When none of the created beings were worthy to open the scroll in the hand of the Father, John wept.  Nonetheless, his weeping turned to worship when the Lamb of God, the Messiah, was presented and was worthy to take the scroll from the Father.  The Lamb is Jesus, slain for the sins of the world, and worshipped by the court of Heaven.  Thank you for listening to The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast.

As John continues to receive the revelation from Jesus on the lord's day, he sees a door opening to heaven and hears a voice inviting him to come inside.  As he walks through the door, he encounters a vision of God's throne and describes it beautifully.  He also notes that there are unique creatures who worship the Lord, and Elders who cast their crowns before God day and night.  Thank you for listening to The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast.

In this episode, we begin exploring the seven original recipients of the Revelation letter.  This time, we'll be introduced to the churches at Ephesus and Smyrna.  In each letter, there's a repeated structure that helps us as Bible students.  Jesus reveals Himself to the churches in unique ways that are relevant to His message to them.  Next, he gives the churches both commendations and corrections.  Finally, Jesus gives each church an exhortation and a promise.  These letters are a snapshot of church health in John's day, but also reveal truths that speak to the Lord's church in any time and place.  Thank you for listening to The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast.

John was on the island of Patmos on the the Lord's day when he received the vision of Revelation with specific instructions from Christ to write what he has seen and distribute it to seven churches in Asia.  In chapter one we read a description of the glorified Christ, and also instructions to John to write the things that he has seen, the things that are, and the things which will soon take place after this.  This structure helps us to rightly divide the contents of Revelation.  Chapter one is past for John...what he has seen when Christ instructs him to write.  Chapters two and three are present...seven literal churches that existed in John's day, and chapter four and following pertain to future things.  Everything in Revelation that follows chapter four fits within Daniel's seventieth week, aka...the Tribulation.  The tribulation is seven literal years, and is referred to precisely in scripture by years, months, and even the number of its days.  Thank you for listening to The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast.

In this episode, we'll look at the second part of chapter eleven and begin with the historical personage of Antiochus Epiphanes, who is a typological figure of the coming Antichrist of the last days.  The absolute purpose of the record of this Greek ruler in Daniel is to picture, in part, the qualities of the future last days Antichrist.  Antiochus is a "little version" of this coming world leader who will implement on a global scale many of the attacks against God seen in the days of the Seleucid Empire. Thank you for listening to The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast.
