Ron Wallace answers the question, "What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?" Is there a sin that cannot be forgiven?

In this episode Ron will show that there is indeed one sin that cannot be forgiven: it is the sin of unbelief. That is, the sin of rejecting Jesus as your Savior. The blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the attitude and expression that rejects the Spirit's testimony that Jesus is the Messiah.

When Jesus performed miracles such as healing and casting out demons, this was the ministry of the Holy Spirit bearing witness that Jesus was indeed the Messiah and Savior of the world. If a person denied that the Holy Spirit was working in and through Jesus, this was the same as denying that Jesus was the Messiah.

Rejection of Jesus as the Messiah is the sin of unbelief. The sin of unbelief is the only sin for which Jesus could not die. It is a "forever sin" that results only in condemnation to the lake of fire.

Marquis Laughlin shares unique insights on the Book of Revelation, it’s ultimate purpose, context, and characters. He stresses the importance of examining all of God’s Word to help us understand this book by encouraging us to get the “Director's” perspective of His story. Expect lots of answers to simple questions often overlooked by standard commentaries.

Dr. Alan Kurschner talked about Malachi’s prophecy of the coming of the prophet Elijah before the day of the Lord: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes” (Mal 4:5).

There are several key precursors that will happen before the return of Christ: celestial disturbances, the apostasy, the Antichrist, to name a few. Then there is the prophecy about Elijah arriving before the day of the Lord.

Dr. Kurschner explained that Malachi’s prophecy of Elijah was not fulfilled in John the Baptist. John the Baptist was certainly a type of Elijah in “spirit and power.” But he was not the intended fulfillment of Malachi’s prophecy.

There are six reasons why the fulfillment of the Elijah prophecy is still in the future and thus not fulfilled in John the Baptist.

1. Jesus envisioned his ministry in two phases, his first and second coming.

2. Gabriel’s statement about John the Baptist indicates that he was not the intended fulfillment of Elijah’s coming.

3. John the Baptist himself explicitly stated that he is not Elijah.

4. Elijah may be one of the two witnesses, who will arrive in the future.

5. Elijah never experienced death, which may suggest a future coming.

6. The conjunction of Elijah and the Transfiguration, which was a preview of Jesus’ second coming, connects Elijah with Christ’s second coming.

The Elijah prophecy shows that Christ’s return is not imminent, but demonstrates that there will be precursors, such as Elijah’s arrival, before the day of the Lord, and by extension the rapture.

Nelson Walters discusses 5 essential prophecies about the Third Temple that even most scholars don’t know. Are you confused about the third temple? You’re not alone, as even most scholars are, and that’s why we’re doing this teaching today.

As you will hear, the third temple in Jerusalem is the most iconic prophecy about the coming of the end times. For most Christians, with even a limited amount of knowledge of prophecy, it is the ONE sign that will tell them that the end times have begun.

As one may hear frequently, “If I don’t see the third temple standing in Jerusalem, I’m not worrying about the end times.”  That might make sense if everything you’ve been told about the third temple is correct. But what if the scholars you follow regularly are mistaken? Then it could be a downright dangerous position to take.

Jake McCandless, with Stand Firm Ministries, continues celebrating the Christmas season in this episode as he visits one of the most quoted “Christmas” passages, Isaiah 9:6-7. This is the “unto us a child is born” verse, but strangely in this perfect Christmas greeting card passage, there’s a seemingly strange mention of this child having the government on His shoulders.

This seems to “mess up” the perfect Christmas passage, but Jake argues that is because in modern Christianity we present just a sliver of the complete Biblical narrative. This sliver causes us to miss the importance of prophecy, the return of Jesus, the Millennial Kingdom, and God’s continued plan for Israel. The seemingly odd phrase in Isaiah 9 bridges all of these things.

Jake takes the opportunity of Christmas to point to the larger narrative of the Gospel. He reveals also how many popular Christmas hymns touch on the larger narrative as well.

Chris White begins an 11-week study on the timing of the events during the 70th week. This episode is all about world government and how it is possible that Christians can be deceived by it.

David Rosenthal, President of Zion's Hope, kicks off our second year of Bible Prophecy Daily with a discussion of what a future Gaza Strip will look like following the Israel-Hamas War.

Look for Arab nations working with Israel to establish a stable Gaza, fueled by the international influx of dollars, resources, and peacekeepers.  Listen as David examines these possibilities in “Post-War Gaza: What to Watch for in the Middle East.”

Dr. Alan Kurschner played a brief clip from his introduction at a Bible Prophecy seminar in the Salt Lake City Area. He opened up this seminar by responding to various platitudes that others often make that sound pious on the surface but are not biblical reality.

These platitudes are intended to discourage and deflate your desire to study eschatology, especially on the second coming of Christ. However, when these platitudes or slogans are examined in the light of  Scripture, they are shown to be vacuous statements.

Some of these platitudes include:

"What only matters is the fact that Jesus is returning."

"It will all 'pan out' in the end."

"This doctrine divides the church."

"Who are you to think that you have the right answer?"

"Theologians have been debating this for centuries."

"There are so many views out there."

Dr. Kurschner responded to these unbiblical platitudes with counter-biblical truths from Jesus, Paul, and the book of Revelation.

Michael Ufferman, staff teacher with Zion’s Hope, concludes this 8-part series covering the eternal ministry and physical manifestations of God in the person of Jesus Christ.

In this session, Michael wraps up the series with a discussion on the future, promised, physical coming of Jesus Christ to resurrect and rapture His saints, take possession of planet Earth, and rule as King of kings and Lord of lords during His Millennial Reign and beyond.

Charles Cooper continues his study of the structure of the Book of Revelation in preparation for his presentation regarding the placement of the rapture according to the PreWrath rapture view.
