Marquis Laughlin discusses "Mystery Babylon The Great" as he examines Revelation chapter 17 as part of his Director’s Commentary on the book.

This is a look at the relationship of Babylon The Great to other characters and groups in Revelation.

Because of the vast amount of biblical information written on this subject, this episode is part 1 of a 2-part series on this chapter.

Part 2 will cover some of the many references to Babylon The Great in other books of the Bible.

Ron Wallace continues with part two of Christ's teachings about His second coming.

In this episode, Ron teaches from Matthew 10:1-23, and discusses some of the instructions that Jesus gave to His disciples such as:

The content of the gospel message;

The lost sheep of Israel;

Degrees of punishment in hell;

And, of course, the evangelistic ministry of the Church right up to the moment that Jesus returns.

Charles Cooper concludes his multi-part presentation where he argues for the far more critical focus on “ruling with Christ” following the Bema Seat Judgment, rather than trying to figure out the timing of the Rapture.

Previously, Charles discussed the character of one who is to rule with Christ. Such a person is not one who only has faith, but who is actually faithFUL, and they receive from their Master "Commendation", "Exaltation" and "Honoration".

In this episode, he picks up at Matthew 25:24-30, where he now discusses the sad peril of the third man in the Parable of the Talents and the implications for the Christian who is faithLESS: "Derision", "Demotion", and "Divarication".

Listen closely, as Charles concludes by correlating the "Parable of the Talents" with the preceding parable of "The 10 Virgins" (Matthew 24:1-12), and soberly points out the 1,000 year (Millennial) Kingdom implications for the lazy, worthless Christian.

[Producer's Note: For further personal study, consider studying the Letters to the Churches in Revelation 2 & 3, paying particular attention to Laodicea in Revelation 3:14-22, which is clearly described as worthless, and confirms the ultimate discipline of divarication. We often use the words "broad and narrow way" in the context of those who are not saved versus those who are; but within the Church, as Coop points out, many Christians will arrive at the Bema Seat only to be devastated to learn the outcomes of their faithLESSness. The Narrow Gate is the gate to the Kingdom, and even Christians must press through that gate faithFULLY.]

Charles Cooper continues his multi-part presentation where he argues for the far more critical focus on “ruling with Christ” following the Bema Seat Judgment, rather than trying to figure out the timing of the Rapture.

In this episode, using the first two characters in the "Parable of the Talents" (Matthew 25:14-23), Charles discusses Kingship, and the character of one who is to rule with Christ. Such a person is not one who only has faith, but who is actually faithFUL, and they receive from their Master "Commendation", "Exaltation" and "Honoration".

The concusion with the third man in the parable will be in the upcoming Part 4 of this series.

[Producers Note: Due to the importance & sobriety of Charles' message regarding the Parable of the Talents, we will run his concluding Part 4 in the very next podcast, so that both parts are heard in close proximity to each other.]

Ron Wallace concludes his study of Isaiah chapters 24-27.

In chapter 27, we see a symbolic judgment on Satan and the esablishment of the vineyard of Israel that will thrive in the Davidic earthly kingdom. Isaiah reviews the reality of discipline on the nation that has consistently failed to properly worship Yahweh.

But the chapter ends with the great promise of regathering for the Jewish people, and the worship of Yahweh on the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

Travis Snow makes the case that after the Rapture, believers will ascend into the Father’s presence in heaven before returning to reign with Jesus on the earth. Key Bible passages discussed include John 14 and Revelation 7.

Chris White, with Bible Prophecy Talk Podcast, presents Part 9 of his 11-part series on “The Islamic Antichrist Theory”. Chris is discussing, from the biblical text, why he believes the Islamic Antichrist theory is inaccurate.

Today, in Part 9, Chris addresses the emphasis of Islamic eschatological belief in views developed by authors such as Joel Richardson in the book "Islamic Antichrist".

Chris offers a helpful overview of eschatology in Islam, as believed by both Sunni and Shiites, and compares varous similarities & differences betweeen those beliefs, Christian biblical beliefs and other extra-biblical sources.

He concludes by presenting the problems Islamic eschatology presents for Richardson's view of  an "Islamic" antichrist that aligns with the Bible.

Bob Hunt concludes his series on Revelation 13:16-18 “Marked for Death”.  In this episode, after going into great detail in the previous sessions regarding the Mark, he examines the eternal consequences of taking the Mark. The key passage relating to this is Revelation 14:9-11. The Apostle John clearly describes the severity of this decision. Notably, our decisions on earth have eternal consequences.

Bob then deals with the question “Is taking the Mark an irreversible decision or can someone undo this event?” He then takes us to Matthew 12:31-32 for a discussion on how this may or may not fit, or be related. Is the Mark an unforgiveable sin? There are many sins that will send us to hell for eternity if not forgiven. Revelation 20:15, Galatians 5:19-21 and 1Corinthians 6:9-11 all give us a list. However, especially stated in 1 Corinthians, they all can be forgiven.

Next, the salvation of the Jewish people is discussed and its relationship to the Mark.

Then, in conclusion, God’s working in the Last Days is highlighted, especially His sending a strong delusion upon the world. Bob closes with his concluding remarks of this 3-Part series regarding the notion of "trying to undo" the taking of the Mark.

Marquis Laughlin, founder of Acts of The Word Ministries, continues his Director’s Commentary series with insights on Revelation chapter 16.

In this episode, Marquis discusses Revelation chapter 15 answering the question, "When do the bowl judgments take place, and what does that tell us about the timing and nature of God’s wrath and the other events recorded in Revelation?"
