In Episode 4, Gordon and Mark dive into one of the most cited verses in rapture debates: “Christians are not appointed to wrath.” This statement is often used by pre-tribulation supporters to argue that believers will be removed before the Tribulation begins.  While affirming the truth of the verse when it refers specifically to God’s Wrath, Gordon and Mark make clear they reject its misuse as a blanket defense against all persecution during the tribulation week. 

 To bring clarity, the hosts carefully define what qualifies as God’s Wrath, identifying five essential components that must be present in any situation for it to be properly categorized as such. They then describe the group of individuals who will ultimately receive this wrath—those who stand opposed to God and persist in unbelief. 

Next, Gordon and Mark investigate what God’s Wrath looks like by drawing on historical biblical examples, such as the Flood, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and other moments when God’s judgment fell decisively.  These examples serve as patterns to distinguish divine wrath from the broader experience of persecution, discipline, trials, or suffering. 

A key point is emphasized: not all persecution is God’s Wrath. Believers throughout history have endured hardship, testing, and even martyrdom without falling under His wrath.  Likewise, persecution within the Tribulation does not automatically mean Christians are experiencing God’s final judgment. 

The episode concludes with a challenging but hopeful perspective:  persecution or discipline, even if controlled by God, can exist during the Tribulation without believers falling under the Wrath of God.  Believers in the Tribulation will need to remain firm in their faith standing strong to defend the Gospel while waiting on the Rapture at the end of Daniel's 70th week.

In Episode 3, Gordon and Mark turn their attention to one of the most debated topics in biblical prophecy: the Tribulation, the Great Tribulation, and the timing of the rapture. They begin by clarifying an important distinction often overlooked—that the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation are not the same, but rather two separate phases within the prophetic timeline. 

From there, the discussion challenges a widespread teaching in many Christian communities: the pre-tribulation rapture viewpoint. Gordon and Mark present reasons why they believe this interpretation is not biblical, even though it has become the majority position within much of the church. 

To build a foundation, they examine key terms and doctrines. They define the Greek word "harpazo"—translated into English as “rapture”—and explain how this concept is tied to the Doctrine of Imminence. At a high level, they also lay out their own belief about the timing of the rapture and its relationship to end-time events. 

The hosts caution listeners that faith and Christian convictions will be tested during the Tribulation, and being unprepared for that reality could leave many shaken. To strengthen understanding, they address common arguments from its proponents for a pre-tribulation rapture and offer responses rooted in Scripture. 

Specific themes explored include: the imagery of the wedding feast, the role of the Holy Spirit as the restrainer who is “removed,” the framework of dispensational theology, and the question of God’s wrath—clarifying that not every judgment in the Tribulation period should be classified as God’s wrath. 

By unpacking these concepts, Gordon and Mark invite listeners to think critically, examine the Scriptures, and prepare their hearts for endurance in the days ahead.

In Episode 2, Gordon and Mark step back to look at the big picture of God’s plan for humanity. They begin by affirming that God created us for fellowship and relationship with Himself, but mankind chose to go its own way. From that choice flows the entire story of redemption—God’s ongoing plan to restore what was broken and bring people back to Himself. 

They explain why understanding this big picture is crucial. It’s not only central to salvation but also key to grasping the importance of End Times prophecy. Without this foundation, believers risk missing the significance of what Scripture says about the days ahead. 

The episode then turns to Abraham, whom God chose to be the father of a covenant people. Abraham trusted God and believed His promises, and through him came a line of descendants with whom God established His covenant. Within that covenant lay a hidden promise: Jesus.  Gordon and Mark highlight how Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment—the blessing promised to Abraham, revealed in His first coming and to be fully realized in His second coming. 

The discussion also acknowledges a tragic reality: Abraham’s descendants, the Jewish people, largely missed Jesus at His first coming. Gordon and Mark outline several reasons for this rejection and misunderstanding, drawing parallels to today. 

The hosts then issue a sober warning. Just as many in Israel missed the Messiah the first time, Christians are in danger of repeating the same cycle with His second coming. Without awareness, discernment, and understanding of prophecy, the church could be caught unprepared. For that reason, the episode challenges listeners to stay alert and grounded in God’s Word as the unfolding events of the End Times draw nearer.

In their very first episode, Gordon and Mark introduce the purpose and vision of their new podcast. They begin by highlighting the pressing issue Christians face today: how to remain faithful as the signs of the latter days increasingly unfold. With urgency and clarity, they explain the three primary reasons behind launching the podcast—keeping the focus on Jesus, raising awareness about the times we are living in, and offering a wake-up call to believers who may be spiritually unprepared. 

 The conversation then explores the question of whether we may already be in Daniel’s prophetic “End Times week,” setting the stage for deeper discussions in future episodes. Both Gordon and Mark share short personal testimonies, allowing listeners to understand their background, faith journey, and motivation for speaking into these issues. 

 From there, the hosts emphasize the necessity of perseverance—holding firmly to faith despite the persecution that Scripture says will come. They also clarify who they are seeking to reach: the wider church community, individual Christians at all stages of maturity, and anyone with an interest in the unfolding of the latter days. 

 To close the episode, Gordon and Mark define two foundational terms—apostasy and End Times—to establish a shared understanding before future episodes dive into more complex prophetic and theological content in future episodes.
