Welcome to another episode of The PRODCAST—where we prod the sheep and we beat the wolf.This isn’t a show for soft theology or Left Behind eschatology. It’s for those who want truth without filters, clarity without compromise, and biblical depth without sensational nonsense. If you're ready to understand the book of Revelation the way John meant it—and the way the early church heard it—you’re in the right place.In this episode, we walk through the very first vision in the book of Revelation. John turns, sees the glorified Christ among the lampstands, and everything changes. We’re going to unpack that vision, interpret the symbols, and show why getting this right is absolutely vital—not just for theology, but for how we live, vote, preach, and build.IN THIS EPISODE0:00 – INTRODUCTION: THE KING IS NOT HIDING4:25 – WHY VISIONS MATTER10:10 – WHAT VISIONS ARE (AND AREN’T)19:30 – WHAT VISIONS SHOW US ABOUT HISTORY33:45 – WHY VISIONS LOOK BACK, NOT AHEAD56:00 – VISIONS AS COVENANT COMMUNICATION1:09:15 – THE DANGERS OF BAD VISION INTERPRETATION1:25:20 – HOW TO READ REVELATION FAITHFULLY1:37:50 – CONCLUSION: LIVING IN ACT IIIKEY THEMESVisions in Revelation are not spiritual riddles.

It’s a proclamation to live by.We’ve seen how the visions in Revelation are built on the Old Testament, how they structure redemptive history, and how they summon us—not to escape—but to advance. We are not living in the prelude. We are not waiting for chaos. We are in Act III. The King is enthroned. The covenant is confirmed. And the Bride is being prepared.So read Revelation like a covenant-keeper, not a code-breaker. Study it with a Bible in your hand, not a newspaper. And then live it—with courage, clarity, and conviction.This is the time to build. To sing. To preach. To plant churches, raise families, and shape nations under the rule of Christ.Because He is reigning.Because the Kingdom is growing.Because the vision is clear.And because the time is now.
