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?"

Dr. Alan Kurschner presents how Satan will do anything he can to see to it that God's future kingdom never becomes a reality. Satan's targets of attack include Israel, the Church, and the Messiah Jesus.

This fascinating study begins with an explanation of what "replacement theology" is and how it relates to whether or not one believes Israel has a role in God's purposes.

Using familiar events and themes from the Bible and history, Alan lays out nine ways Satan has attempted, and will attempt, to thwart God's future Kingdom.

Chris White, with Bible Prophecy Talk Podcast, presents Part 8 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 8, Chris counters the view that Gog is the Antichrist, as presented in the book "Mideast Beast" by Joel Richardson. This view also argues that Gog is from Turkey, which has a sizeable Muslim population thereby adducing Gog is a Muslim Antichrist.

In this episode, Chris covers a lot of ground by going in depth using important historical resources as well as the biblical text in Exekiel 38 & 39 and Revelation 20.

NOTE: For listeners with a player that supports indexing, you will find this episode divided into 16 chapters for ease of studying along with Chris and reviewing his excellent research on this topic.

Ron Wallace begins a multi-part series on exactly what Jesus taught about His second coming.

In this first episode, Ron teaches about "The Time Period of the End," "The End of the Age," and "The Age to Come." Jesus taught that the Kingdom of God was now evidenced among people through His presence, works and teachings.  He taught that entrance into and participation in the actual Kingdom of God on a spiritual level was now available to all who would believe in Jesus as the Savior of the world.

And Jesus taught that it was now the responsibility of the disciples - and all believers - to proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom right up to the time that He will return.

Charles Cooper continues his four-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, Charles picks up using Hebrews 12:2 where we are reminded that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Throne of God, and that the saints will ultimately reign with Him.

As we understand this supreme position of Jesus Christ, and our relationship with Him in the Kingdom, it is imperative that we understand the requirement of "staying with Christ in His trials" (Luke 22:28-29.) This leads us to consider the difference between faithfulness and faith.

Let’s make our priority what Jesus commands: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness” (Matt 6:33).

Bob Hunt gives a quick review of part one and then jumps right into a discussion of the difficulties Christians will have during the time when the 'Mark of the Beast' is foisted upon the world. Bob then discusses the statement that Pre-tribulation rapture brothers and sisters make saying, “We won’t be here during all of these mandates.” Bob relates several verses from Revelation and offeres the conclusion that the Pre-Wrath rapture makes much more sense, even in this limited view.

Bob then examines the Mark in light of the Name and the Number of the Beast, first with a detialed look at what it means to have the Name of the Beast. A parallel is found in Revelation 22:4, where believers are found to have Jesus' Name on their foreheads. It is interesting that all of us will have one name or another, but not both.

Lastly, what is this Number of the Beast? Little is known or taught regarding this, but much speculation has been made. Is it a puzzle for us to figure out who this person is, or something else? What we do know is that it is the number of man. Man has reached the pinnacle of all that is evil and has, as a world, rejected God and worships the Beast and Satan himself.

In conclusion, it will take much wisdom and understanding to survive these perilous times. The consequences are not merely severe: the consequences are eternal.

Chris White, with Bible Prophecy Talk Podcast, presents Part 7 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 7, Chris continues discusses a unique approach to the "Mark of the Beast" as presented by Walid Shoebat in his book, “God’s War on Terror”.  Mr. Shoebat asserts that John was supernaturally shown the arabic words for 'In the name of Allah' and a picture of crossed swords when he was writing Revelation 13:18.  Mr. Shoebat further claims that the Greek scribes misunderstood the arabic letters that John wrote down, mistaking them for greek letters instead of arabic symbols.

Continuing his biblical & exegetical approach to eschatology, Chris presents several problems with this view.

Marquis Laughlin, founder of Acts of The Word Ministries, continues his Director’s Commentary series through the Book of Revelation.

In this episode, Marquis discusses Revelation chapter 15 answering the question, "When does this scene take place and what does that tell us about the timing of other key prophetic events?"
