Ever wonder why the most transformative events in history seem to catch everyone by surprise? The answer lies in understanding Black Swan events—those rare, unpredictable occurrences that completely reshape our world but appear obvious in hindsight.

Black Swan Rising takes you on a journey through biblical prophecy, current events, and historical patterns to help you recognize these world-changing moments before they arrive. Drawing from Nassim Taleb's concept of Black Swans, host Michael B. Rush explores how these events share three critical characteristics: they're undetectable beforehand due to our normalcy bias, they transform everything about our world, and afterward, the warning signs seem painfully obvious.

From the crucifixion of Jesus Christ to modern phenomena like congressional UFO hearings, this podcast examines potential Black Swan candidates that could fulfill biblical prophecies about the last days. Luke 21:26 tells us "men's hearts will fail them for fear" of what's coming—a clear indication that unprecedented events will shake even the most prepared individuals.

What makes this exploration unique is the emphasis on spiritual discernment over blind acceptance of any single interpretation. Rather than telling you what to believe, Michael invites you to reason together, examining evidence against scripture while developing your ability to recognize truth through the Holy Spirit. In a world of competing voices and agendas, this skill becomes increasingly essential.

Future episodes will delve into fascinating topics including the Antichrist, the restoration of Israel, the New Jerusalem, and how modern phenomena might connect to ancient prophecies. Subscribe now to join this thought-provoking journey and develop eyes that can see beyond normalcy bias to prepare for whatever lies ahead.
