Putting the Record Straight on the End Times (S3EP3)

What will happen when Jesus returns? What does the Bible really teach about resurrection, judgment, and the rapture? In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom Wright tackle some of the most debated questions surrounding the end times. Together they explore what Christians can genuinely say about heaven, life after death, the return of Christ, and the future resurrection promised in the New Testament. They unpack Paul’s statement that “the dead in Christ will rise first”, examine where modern rapture theology came from, and ask whether popular end-times teaching has sometimes distorted the biblical picture. The conversation also addresses the sobering question of what happens to those who reject the love of Jesus, as well as the ways apocalyptic speculation can fuel unhealthy ideology, fear, and even forms of idolatrous nationalism. Above all, this episode is about hope, clarity, and readiness: Jesus will return, and the Church is called not to panic or speculation, but to faithful living in the present.

Along the way, they examine how different Christian traditions, including the Catholic understanding of purgatory, have approached these questions through the centuries.
