Dr. JB Hixson

Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to talk about his latest book, “Fade to Black: Rise of Global Tyranny”. When he wrote Spirit of Antichrist and Spirit of the False Prophet, these well thought out books became invaluable to those who need a resource on the leading subjects of Bible prophecy today. But in short order, these same subjects have continued to bring ever clearer understanding of how they all reflect the lateness of the hour. In this updated work, JB presents an even sharper picture of not only what is going on, but the spirit behind it, something the Bible lays out fully when it addresses the pride and pretense of our arch-enemy, Satan. Current events playing out in our world are merely symptoms of the cosmic war, with humans as the spoil. We look at the 7 spirits that make up the “signs of the times”: the spirits of Pretense, Power, Phenomena, Pride, Persecution, Perversion, and Pluralism. An insightful hour with JB as the world “fades to black”.

Assyria looks like the kind of empire that can’t lose and that’s exactly why Isaiah 10:17-34 hits so hard. We walk verse by verse through a passage that confronts pride at its peak and reminds us that God can use a nation as an instrument without endorsing its arrogance. If you’ve ever confused momentum with approval, or strength with safety, this study brings you back to what Isaiah keeps insisting on: the Lord of hosts is the One in control.

We read the full section in the ESV and unpack Isaiah’s vivid images: the light of Israel becoming a fire, a mighty forest reduced until a child can count what’s left, and a looming army marching town by town toward Jerusalem. Along the way we connect the prophecy to the historical Assyrian threat under Sennacherib and the kind of overnight deliverance Scripture later describes. The tension builds to that unforgettable scene where the invader halts within sight of Zion and “shakes his fist” only to meet the God who cuts down the lofty.

The hope is just as strong as the warning. Isaiah turns our eyes to the remnant, the people who stop leaning on human power and return to the Holy One of Israel in truth. We close with clear application for daily life: God cares about justice, pride leads to ruin, and when the enemy feels closest, God is still able to defend His people.

Not all wisdom comes from God. In this urgent message from James 3, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the difference between worldly wisdom and wisdom from above.

Worldly wisdom may sound impressive, but Scripture calls it selfish, bitter, and demonic. It fuels envy, pride, division, and destruction. But godly wisdom is different. It is not manufactured by intelligence or experience—it is received from God by those who ask in faith.

Wisdom from above is:

This episode calls believers to reject self-centered living, repent of bitter jealousy and selfish ambition, and seek the mind of Christ daily. When God’s wisdom rules the heart, believers walk in unity, speak with grace, and live as witnesses to the Truth of the Gospel.

The enemy rarely announces his intentions. Dr. Tony Evans reveals some of Satan’s most common strategies and explains how believers can avoid being caught off guard.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the discipline of disdain is to show compassion instead of hate. People who criticize our faith often don’t understand what they’re doing, and we need to care about them and pray for them.

So, which came first, the Exodus or the Exile? Did David live before Daniel? Who was Isaiah’s prophecy directed toward?

So many believers know isolated accounts from Scripture. But they don’t understand how these events fit into the scope of history. So, the Bible seems like a mess of people, places, and events.

But when we teach the Bible chronologically it makes sense. We’ve been designed to understand the world in a sequential order, so why don’t we teach the Bible this way? When we do, we can easily see that the events flow in a logical way. We see what caused them, and we can see God’s hand throughout history.
