The Nations of Gog’s Alliance: The Ezekiel series, part 72 (38:5-6) 25:34

2d ago25:34

25:34

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…

Who is Gog?: The Ezekiel series, part 71 (38:1-4) 32:19

9d ago32:19

32:19

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 sou…

SPECIAL: Back to 'The Day Satan Called' - with Bill Scott 48:31

16d ago48:31

48:31

It was the week before Halloween in the fall of 1988 when Bill Scott picked up the phone at his job at a Christian radio station and his life was never the same. What follows is a story of demonic possession, deliverance, and a long list of what to do and what NOT to do when standing up to the powers of darkness. I’ve been doing a series on the abi…

The Myths of Replacement Theology and the 10 Lost Tribes: The Ezekiel series, part 70 (37:15-28) 50:14

23d ago50:14

50:14

I’m going to give you a great Bible Study tip, because some people have a really hard time figuring out what the Bible is saying. So here’s a little tip that always helps me: when the Bible tells you what it’s saying, then you don’t have to try to figure out what it’s saying. You can just go with what the Bible tells you it’s saying. Sound good? Gr…

What ‘The Valley of the Dry Bones’ Really Means: The Ezekiel series, part 69 (37:1-14) 44:38

1M ago44:38

44:38

There are two chapters of the book of Ezekiel that I feel are most abused when it comes to interpretation. Two chapters that people seem to just want to allegorize and make them mean whatever they want. And one of those chapters is right here. Ezekiel 37. Many Christians try to make this chapter about a future resurrection. That may be the most pop…

What is Dispensationalism- and why does it make everyone so angry? (with Craig of GotQuestions.org) 35:27

1M ago35:27

35:27

I can't figure out why I keep making everybody mad at me, so I brought in an expert to explain it. Craig of Awaiting Christ ministry and podcast joins me today to explain dispensationalism and how it relates to the modern state of Israel and rapture theology- both hot button issues in today's political and church climate. Craig is a seminary studen…

The Abrahamic Covenant vs The Mosaic Covenant: The Ezekiel series, part 68 (36:28-38) 35:06

1M ago35:06

35:06

There’s a strange contradiction in God’s promises to the Jewish people. In Genesis 12, God makes a covenant with Abraham to give him the land of Israel. In Genesis 17:7, God told Abraham that His covenant with him and his descendants would be an everlasting covenant. But then in Leviticus 26, God warns that if the Jewish people break His commandmen…

A New Spirit: The Ezekiel series, part 67 (36:27) 42:32

2M ago42:32

42:32

Last week I talked about how I did my parental duty and instilled the love of star wars into my child. Now let me talk about one of the stupidest things in star wars. And it comes from the same place that all of the stupidest things in star wars come from: the new Disney movies. This one is flies right into the face of common sense. It comes from t…

A New Heart: The Ezekiel series, part 66 (36:24-26) 30:10

2M ago30:10

30:10

Poor Nicodemus. That guy really gets a bad rap. Nicodemus was the Pharisee who famously came to Jesus by night, because he was afraid if he approached Jesus during the day that people might see, and people might talk. He was a wise man, a religious man, a scholar. And it’s a good thing that he comes to Jesus in the middle of the night like this bec…

Don’t Misrepresent God: The Ezekiel series, part 65 (36:16-23) 29:12

3M ago29:12

29:12

A lot of people misunderstand the third commandment. The third commandment says, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.” Most Christians think that means you shouldn’t say OMG. Now, you probably shouldn’t say OMG, but that’s just one part of what it means to break the third commandment. The third commandment means to misrepresen…

Prophecy Literally Fulfilled: The Ezekiel series, part 64 (36:1-15) 31:05

3M ago31:05

31:05

Is prophecy meant to be taken literally, or is it all symbolic? And if it’s both, then how can you know the difference? That’s the question we’re going to answer today. Because we Christians find a lot to argue about on the subject of prophecy. How can we know if the Israel of today is the fulfillment of prophecies in Old Testament Scripture? How c…

Esau, Edomites and the Palestinians: The Ezekiel series, part 63 (35:1-15) 49:08

49:08

We’re coming up on three years since I started this podcast, and when I started it, I didn’t know that by the time we got done, Israel would be attacked in the largest one-day massacre of Jewish people since WWII. I didn’t know Israel would be engulfed in a literal war with the Palestinian terrorists who have been seeking to overthrow it for decade…

The Best is Yet to Come: The Ezekiel series, part 62 (34:11-31) 28:58

4M ago28:58

28:58

Ezekiel has not been the easiest book of the Bible to study. Up until today’s lesson, most of it has been dark, depressing, gloomy and full of judgment and wrath. But regardless of the past, I have some news about the future: the best is yet to come. Because the book is making a major turning point in this section we’re in. So far, we’ve just encou…

Good and Bad Pastors: The Ezekiel series, part 61 (34:1-10) 37:29

4M ago37:29

37:29

A pastor must be a good public speaker, able to draw large crowds with his authority and charisma. A pastor must be like a CEO, an expert in management and leadership. A pastor must be a skilled fundraiser, and know how to execute a building program. A pastor must be on-call 24/7, even on holidays and vacations. A pastor must be an expert psycholog…

Hit Mute and Know God: The Ezekiel series, part 60 (33:21-33) 32:35

4M ago32:35

32:35

I have heard all my life about declaring God’s promises. The idea was that certain things in scripture became true in reality as long as you declared them to be so. Sounds a little bit magical. But is it biblical? We’re going to talk about that today. We’ll also wrap up Ezekiel 33, and for the first time in 30 chapters, Ezekiel is going to be allow…

What “Faith without Works is Dead” Actually Means 27:04

4M ago27:04

27:04

Entire books have been written about the thorny theological issue I want to talk about today. James chapter 2. At face value, James 2 seems hard to reconcile with the rest of the New Testament. That’s because the rest of the New Testament pretty clearly teaches this doctrine of salvation by grace through faith not of works. That’s a direct quote, a…

The Sometimes-Confusing Relationship Between Faith and Works: The Ezekiel series, part 59 (33:10-20) 44:17

So we’re in this chapter called Ezekiel’s Greatest Hits. That’s my name for it. Ezekiel 33 recaps some of Ezekiel’s earlier lessons; in fact, some of my favorite lessons from earlier in the book. And today we’ll be looking at verses 10 through 20, which recap my favorite chapter of Ezekiel: chapter 18. This is the chapter on personal responsibility…

Adolph Hitler hoped and prayed that he was this antichrist that the Bible spoke of. Hitler may have been a deranged maniac; he did at least know a thing or two about what the Bible said. And as he went through Europe swallowing up nation after nation, he was convinced more and more that he would be this man. (it’s strange; he wanted to fulfill the …

25:44

Death is not the end. A couple episodes ago, I took a little detour into Jude and analyzed this phrase “twice dead.” It was kind of a side-quest because I primarily use this podcast to dive into the book of Ezekiel. In that lesson, we focused on how the Second Death talked about in Revelation is not teaching the doctrine of annihilationism, or the …

One time I was studying through the book of Exodus and I had this thought: Did God love the Egyptians? It’s a question you’ve probably never really thought much about before.

In II Corinthians 2:11, Paul says that we are NOT ignorant of Satan’s devices. Now “devices” is an interesting word. In the Greek, it’s the word “noema,” and it doesn’t have a direct English equivalent. It means “a mental perception,” “an evil purpose” or “that which thinks.” It’s talking about how Satan can twist the mind. Satan has his ways of wa…
