Join Joseph Z and Bishop Alan Didio as they explore the end-of-days narrative. They emphasize the significance of the Rapture, the nature of the Bema Seat judgment, and the future reign of Christ. They also examine eschatological themes such as salvation, the role of the Antichrist, and the consequences of rejecting Christ.

Alan emphasizes misconceptions surrounding the end times, pointing out that we are nearing the two-thousandth anniversary of Jesus' death and resurrection. He explains that we will experience the fulfillment of Christ's redemptive works in our bodies at the rapture. He reminds us that Jesus assured us of a place with Him in His Father's house, so that where He is, we may also be.

He describes the Bema Seat judgment, clarifying that it is not a moment of condemnation but rather a process where we will give an account of actions that glorified God's kingdom on earth. Alan notes that believers in Christ are not destined for wrath but for salvation; therefore, they will not participate in the tribulation during which God's wrath will be poured out on the earth. He explains that the rapture will be a pivotal moment for many to commit their lives to Jesus. When the middle of the last three and a half years of the seven-year Millennium reign of Christ arrives, the Antichrist will stand in the Temple declaring himself to be God, triggering God's wrath upon the earth.

Alan shares an intriguing perspective: when the rapture occurs, Jesus will return to judge the living on earth, separating the sheep from the goats. Those who have accepted Christ and are alive in their normal bodies will be taken to the Millennium Kingdom, where they will help repopulate the earth. During this time, Jesus will rule from His throne in Jerusalem, and sickness will be eliminated from the earth.

He further explains that hell was created for the devil and his angels, and anyone ending up there does so because they rejected Christ. He notes that people will realize their need for a Savior when the devil is released at the end of Jesus' Millennium reign. Following this, the great white throne judgment will take place, where everyone receives their reward: those who have done evil will be cast into the lake of fire. Alan encourages us to look forward with love and anticipation to Jesus' return.
