[Original airdate: 10/17/24] Mary welcomes back Pete Garcia for a conversation about the Apocalypse. The media is using "of biblical proportions" more and more to describe the world we are in. Climate change, economic meltdown, natural disasters ("birth pangs") and AI takeover of the human race all contribute to apocalyptic fear and fervor. We look at the exponential increase of these types of films over the last 100 years, as well as headlines that invoke fear. To what end? There are multiple answers to that question, but they do include keeping the masses fearful and in crisis mode, but also it plays right into the anticipation of the man with the answers - the Antichrist. Is there also a fear of death that these movies seem to bring actual consolation? Perhaps, since the phrase, "post-apocalyptic" is so common today, and describes those who have survived the worst and lived to tell, and renovate, and repopulate. A fascinating subject that ends with our hope, and how to spread that instead of terror.  Pete Garcia is a military combat veteran and aviator, writer, researcher, speaker, and teacher of Bible prophecy and apologetics with a BA in International Relations and a graduate of the US Army's prestigious Command and General Staff College. He wrote for Jack Kinsella's The Omega Letter from 2011-2018. To date, he has written hundreds of articles that are carried on numerous websites and platforms.
