Beskrivelse

In our last study, we addressed the question of the rapture head-on. This taught me a lesson that I sometimes forget. Read the text! Understand the context. It seems that no matter what denomination and no matter how well-versed the pastor is, the theory of the rapture changes like changing the channel on the television. The pastor is the news anchor. If you don’t like CNN’s version, flip over to Fox. If you don’t like Fox’s version, flip over to MSNBC. Nobody seems to be reporting the event. There is always a spin in the “no-spin zone”! It’s like somehow the news cycle has found itself caught up in the Rapture discussion. Say Jared Kushner has just secured a peace deal in the Middle East. Pastors who have been engaging with the political narrative are being interviewed across the country. The story on your first news channel is classic dispensational warnings. The rapture will happen at any moment. Expect chaos and confusion to spread across the globe after millions reportedly vanished without warning, an event the dispensational theologians have long identified as the rapture taught by John Nelson Darby. Supporters of the doctrine expect that Jesus Christ will secretly remove the Church from the earth before the beginning of a seven-year tribulation period foretold in prophecy. Governments will be scrambling for explanations as economic systems falter and world leaders call for unity amid growing instability. Dispensational teachers will claim this marks the moment when God resumes His prophetic dealings with national Israel, paving the way for the rise of the Antichrist, global judgments, and ultimately the visible return of Christ to establish a literal thousand-year kingdom in Jerusalem. Flip the channel to the other news station. Pastors and reporters there will dispute the interpretation, pointing to Jesus’ words: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days… they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” — Matthew 24:29–30, and Paul’s warning: “That day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed” — 2 Thessalonians 2:3. As debate intensifies, many are turning again to the Scriptures to examine whether these things are so. Flip the channel to yet another news station and Pastors and reporters will be discussing why the rapture won’t happen for three and a half years. They are mid-tribulationalists. And Now the Weather. So, we took the approach as we should have all along. We assigned the task to our Berean Teacher, giving him the task of a investigational news report. He is required to go to the source or the narratives and to rebuild the story from the ground up. That is today's deep dive.

episode Brands and Logos - The Envy of Identity cover

Brands and Logos - The Envy of Identity

Well, I started right where I should have in our journey tracing events in the bible where God has lived among men. The Israelites are about to construct the first human-built dwelling for God to live among them. I started today with Exodus 25 and didn’t get very far. I got to thinking about the last commandment (thou shalt not covet), about everything God is doing in this moment. I chased those thoughts. So today’s podcast isn’t not about the place where God lives … but then, as I think about it, that is exactly what today’s podcast is about. Offerings for the Tabernacle Exodus 25:1-8 The LORD said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from everyone whose heart prompts them to give. These are the offerings you are to receive from them: gold, silver and bronze; blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair; ram skins dyed red and another type of durable leather; acacia wood; olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece. “Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. 9 Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.

episode The First Supper cover

The First Supper

Typically when you embark on a journey to study end times in the bible you’re are bounced between Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel, Zechariah with a little Matthew 24 and 24. Here, though, in season 5, As we walk through the Bible landing where God interacted with His creation, we are way back at the beginning and whatever the temple of the day was, we’re still seeing the connections leap off the page straight through the cross into Revelation. Honestly, we were hoping this would happen. We wanted to take this approach because if you understand the beginning, you can almost predict the end, without ever having read it. What we did not expect to see was how soon the clues start dropping into plain sight.

episode The Mountain and the Veil cover

The Mountain and the Veil

Today we're continuing our journey through one of the most important themes in all of Scripture: the temple. When most Christians hear the word temple, they think of a building in Jerusalem. Some think of Solomon's Temple. Others think of a future temple still waiting to be built. But what if the story begins much earlier than that? What if the temple was never primarily about a building at all? In this series, we're tracing the temple from its very beginning, following the thread from Eden through Sinai, the tabernacle, the temple, Christ, and ultimately the dwelling place of God among His people. Today we arrive at Mount Sinai. Here, before a single board of the tabernacle is cut and before a priest ever puts on sacred garments, God reveals a pattern. Boundaries. Consecration. Mediation. Access to His presence. Everything that will later become the temple system already exists on the mountain. But Sinai is not the destination. It is a waypoint. The mountain, the veil, the priesthood, and the sacrifices all point beyond themselves to something greater. And if we follow that trajectory carefully, we may discover that many of our assumptions about the temple—and perhaps even some of our assumptions about prophecy—need a second look.

The Highest Form of Deception - The Chris Bledsoe UFO - Alien Experience

I just watched a lengthy interview on Danny Jones podcast of Chris and Emily Bledsoe. the Title is NASA’s Forbidden Alien Study Finds Proof of Spiritual Beings | Chris & Emily Bledsoe. These are two of the most credible people discussing alien encounters I’ve ever seen. The point here is not to debunk their experience. Quite the opposite, I think we should take it very seriously. Included in the source material is our original document “Signs, Spirits and Synthetic Minds and then a follow up article that specifically addresses this video called The Highest Form of Deception.

episode The Invitation to Approach Holy Ground cover

The Invitation to Approach Holy Ground

We are early in our journey tracing the trajectory of God’s direct interaction with his creation. What we’re already discovering is a very tender, very soft entry. God does not land abruptly, he lands softly and leads. Unfortunately, men don’t always listen. Still, as we track through this history, you’ll see the patience, the persistence and the love of a Father for his children. Today, we look at the first encounter between God and Moses. With a careful reading, you’ll find this encounter more tender and softer than you might feel when you envision the burning bush.
