End-Time-Disciples Podcast

Jesus didn’t call people merely to believe certain facts about Him. He called them to follow Him.

From the beginning of His ministry, Jesus invited ordinary men and women into a life of transformation:

“Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” — Matthew 4:19

Discipleship is the lifelong process of learning from Jesus, walking with Him, and being changed into His likeness.

This week, take a few moments to reflect:

* Am I intentionally following Jesus?

* In what ways is He changing me?

* Who is helping me grow spiritually?

May we all continue growing in Christ together.

Follow Jesus. Be Changed.

What if the Promised Land isn’t just ancient history—but a blueprint for your life as God’s dwelling place on earth?

In this episode of the End-Time Disciples Podcast, Major Tom, Vickie, and Pastor Ryan Perry explore how God’s story moves through four “gardens”—Eden, Egypt, the Wilderness, and the Promised Land—and how that final stage reveals your identity as a living temple and royal priest in God’s kingdom.

TOPICS

- How the Promised Land is the climax of the Torah’s storyline, echoing Eden as a guarded, sacred space

- Why boundaries, Sabbath rest, and agricultural cycles (including Jubilee) were designed to form a renewed, God-reliant humanity

- The difference between appearance-based holiness and true holiness of character

- What it means to carry God’s presence into your home, workplace, church, and community

- How believers today function as a kingdom of priests—ambassadors who bring God’s kingdom into the midst of a broken world

- Why the church must stop ‘huddling’ and instead advance confidently against the “gates of hell

”If you’ve ever wondered how the Old Testament land promises connect to Jesus, the New Jerusalem, and your daily discipleship, this episode will help you see the Bible’s story—and your role in it—with fresh eyes.

📖 Key Scriptures discussed include:

Genesis 1–3; Deuteronomy 28; Exodus, Leviticus & the feast cycles; Daniel 2; Ezekiel’s visions of God’s glory; the Gospels (especially the temple and Mount of Olives); Matthew 28; Acts 1; and New Testament passages on believers as God’s temple and royal priesthood.

The Wilderness of Dependence

In this episode of God at War – Humanity Caught in the Crossfire, we move into the third “garden” in God’s redemptive pattern:

Eden → Egypt → The Wilderness → The Promised Land

* In Eden, God provided everything.

* In Egypt, His people toiled for Pharaoh’s handouts.

* But in the Wilderness, God began to undo that Egyptian mindset and form a people who trust Him again.

The wilderness is not a punishment—it’s a training ground. It’s where God brings His people to the end of their own resources so they can finally learn to live by His Word, His Spirit, and His daily provision.

In this conversation, Pastor Ryan, Vicki, and Tom talk about:

* Why God led Israel into the wilderness instead of straight into the Promised Land

* What “wilderness” actually means in the Bible (and why it’s not just a desert)

* How manna trained Israel to trust God for daily bread instead of hoarding

* How Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness replay—and redeem—Israel’s failures

* Why fear of the Lord is about rightful reverence, not paralyzing terror

* How God still uses wilderness seasons today to move us from worldly slaves to godly sons and daughters

* What it means for the church to become a royal priesthood who serves and guards God’s “garden” in this age

⏱ Chapters

Scripture Threads to Meditate On

Some passages we allude to in this episode:

* Exodus 15–17; Numbers 13–14 – Israel’s wilderness testing

* Deuteronomy 8 – “He humbled you… that He might make you know…”

* Matthew 4 / Luke 4 – Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness

* Matthew 6:9–13 – “Give us this day our daily bread”

* 1 Corinthians 3 – Building with materials that survive the fire

* Hebrews 3–4 – Rest, hardening of heart, and obedience

* 1 Peter 2:9 – “A royal priesthood”

* Revelation 1:6 – “Kings and priests unto God”

Why This Matters for End-Time Disciples

If God is preparing a faithful remnant at the end of the age, wilderness training is not optional. Learn how He:

* Breaks our dependence on worldly systems

* Teaches us to hear and obey His voice

* Trains us to live as royal priests who guard and keep His presence

* Forms disciples who can stand when everything else is shaking

The wilderness is where God turns Egypt’s slaves into godly sons and daughters fit to enter the Promised Land.

Egypt as the Anti-Eden — what does that mean?

In this episode of God at War, we explore how the Bible reveals a divine pattern of four “gardens”:

* Eden

* Egypt

* The Wilderness

* The Promised Land.

Each garden reveals a stage in God’s plan to restore relationship with His people.Egypt stands as the Anti-Eden — a world built on toil, fear, and control. In Eden, God provided freely; but, in Egypt, Israel labored under Pharaoh’s rule, serving a false image of god.

Through this discussion, we uncover how:

* Pharaoh’s Egypt inverted God’s original order

* Humanity turned divine service into slavery

* Joseph’s grain economy foreshadowed our modern debt systems

* True freedom begins when we serve God, not the world

Israel’s Exodus from Egypt represents both judgment and re-creation — God undoing Egypt’s curse to start again in the wildernessJoin us as we open the Word and discover what it means to “come out of Egypt” — spiritually, economically, and relationally — to walk again with God in His living presence.

Before Noah’s Flood, angelic “sons of God” took human wives, and their offspring—the giant Nephilim—filled the world with violence.

After the Flood, Nimrod united humanity in rebellion at Babel, trying to build a kingdom without God.

In this episode of End-Time Disciples, we explore:

- The origin and meaning of the giants (Genesis 6)

- How the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) mirrors modern human pride

- The divine council and 70 nations of Deuteronomy 32

- What it truly means to guard and keep God’s creation today

- We also uncover how disciples are called to be image-bearers—representatives of Christ’s authority—living by faith in His supply, not in the world’s.

What if the Garden of Eden wasn’t just humanity’s beginning — but God’s original temple?

God reveals a redemptive pattern that runs throughout Scripture:

* Eden

* Egypt

* The Wilderness

* The Promised Land

This pattern becomes a spiritual map for every believer—showing how God leads us out of sin, through refining, and into restored fellowship.

In this 2nd episode of God at War: Humanity Caught in the Crossfire, Major Tom, Vickie, and Pastor Ryan Perry explore how Adam and Eve’s calling to “serve and guard” the Garden reveals our true identity as priests of God’s presence.

CHAPTERS:

00:00 Introduction — “If you believe in Me, you will never die.” 00:35 God’s original plan in Eden 02:00 Eden and Paradise — same word, same promise 04:15 The river of life flowing from God’s presence 06:30 The Tree of Life and participation in God’s life 08:45 The Tree of Knowledge — choosing self over God 10:30 The serpent (Nahash) and the first deception 12:30 Humanity’s priestly calling: to serve and guard 14:45 Hebrew meaning of ‘Abad’ (serve) and ‘Shemar’ (guard) 17:15 The cherubim and the guarded way to life 19:30 “Choose life” — the echo of Eden through Scripture 21:30 Evil before humanity — the fallen beings 24:00 Love, freedom, and the risk of rebellion 26:00 Heaven vs. Hell — presence or separation 28:00 Our vocation restored through Christ 30:00 Every believer as God’s temple and living Eden 32:30 Priesthood vs. morality — bearing God’s image 35:00 The upside-down kingdom — Pharaoh vs. Yahweh 37:15 Jesus, the Second Adam, and the free gift of life 39:00 The torn veil — the way reopened 41:00 The Tree of Life and the Cross 43:00 Restored dominion — walking in faith and identity 45:00 Renewing the mind — living as kings and priests 47:00 Returning to Eden — restored relationship with God 48:45 Closing reflections 🎯

Discover How:

🌿 Eden and Paradise are the same place — the dwelling of God among His people. 🔥 “Serve and guard” (abad and shamar) describe the Levitical priesthood, not gardening chores.🕊️ Humanity’s vocation was lost through deception — and restored through Jesus, the Tree of Life. 💧 The river of life flows from God’s presence in both Genesis and Revelation, connecting the first creation to the New Jerusalem. ✝️ When the veil tore, the cherubim stepped aside — and paradise reopened for all who believe.

This conversation connects Genesis to Revelation, showing that God’s first plan is still His final one — to dwell with His people forever. If you’ve ever wondered what your purpose really is, this episode reveals why your true calling is to walk as a king and priest in God’s presence.

In this episode we’re starting a new series, focusing on the war between God and the rebellious spiritual powers—these are ‘the gods’ of the Hebrew Bible, and the ‘principalities and powers’ of the New Testament.

In future episodes we’ll explore these entities, and our critical role in defeating them, in much greater detail.

📖 Season 2, Episode 1 Description

From the very first pages of Genesis, the Bible reveals that humanity has never lived in neutral territory. We are participants—not bystanders—in a cosmic war between God and rebellious spiritual powers.

In this opening episode of our new series, we return to the first battlefield: the Garden of Eden.

* Who—or what—was the nahash that whispered to Eve?

* How did deception and slander against God open the door to sin and death?

* Why does Genesis 3:15 matter for the entire biblical story?

* How did the war escalate in Genesis 6 with the Nephilim and attempts to corrupt the seed of the woman?

* What did God do in response—through the Flood, Babel, and the division of nations under the divine council?

Along the way, we explore passages many Christians rarely hear taught: Genesis 3, 6, and 11; Deuteronomy 32; Psalm 82; Job 1–2; and Daniel 10. These texts reveal the unseen conflict behind world history—and what it means for us today.

📖 Key Themes:

* Humanity’s role in the spiritual war

* The adversary’s strategies of slander and corruption

* God’s judgment and redemption plan through the promised seed

* The divine council and God’s ultimate victory through Christ

➡️ Episode 2 Preview:

We’ll focus on Daniel 10 and look at the “princes” over the nations, pulling back the curtain on spiritual forces that still shape world events today.

The Great Tribulation

Explore the Bible’s timeline of the Great Tribulation—42 months, 1,260 days—revealed in Matthew 24 and Revelation.

Jesus warned in Matthew 24 that after the abomination of desolation comes the greatest time of tribulation the world has ever known. Daniel and Revelation confirm it again and again: time, times, and half a time.

In this episode, we explain the 3½ years of the Great Tribulation, how God’s moedim (appointed times) point to resurrection, judgment, and hope, and why endurance is essential for true disciples.

The End-Time Abomination of Desolation

Jesus called the Abomination of Desolation the one undeniable milestone of the end times.

But what is it? Has it already happened with Antiochus, Titus, or the Dome of the Rock—or is it still to come through the Antichrist?

In this episode of End-Time Disciples, Tom presents the biblical case and Pastor Ryan joins for a lively discussion. Do we need a rebuilt temple? Is there a pre-trib rapture? Or is the temple the body of Christ?

📖 Birth Pangs of the End Times — Episode 8 — The Gospel of the Kingdom (Matthew 24:14)

Jesus said, “This gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world as a testimony to all nations — and then the end will come.”

What is the gospel of the kingdom, and how is it different from the gospel of salvation? Why did Jesus call Himself the Son of Man from Daniel 7? And what does it mean for us to live as ambassadors of the King instead of tourists waiting for heaven?

In this episode, we explore the five essential components of the gospel of the kingdom, the unspoken truce many Christians live under, and the permanent consequences for rejecting Jesus’ Lordship.
