Tonight on RISE Radio we take a call from a listener and discuss the times we live in, false movements and what is bringing many people in the world to the truth.

Despite many years of deception, false spiritualities and atheism, there is a number who are realising the relevance of the Bible in these times.

Song lyrics at the end are written by Graham Kendrick - What Kind Of Greatness. Poem at the end of the show is taken from Koinonia House and is compiled by Chuck Missler. As inspired by Pastor Dr. Shadrach Meshach Lockridge of San Diego Calvary Baptist Church, and supplemented from many additional sources.

Next week we have an exciting episode, please add RISE Radio to your playlist to keep up with the latest shows.

Tonight we speak to Bradley Maston, who is a pastor, radio speaker and author, who wrote a thesis on pseudepigrapha.

There are many today who are looking for truth but end up in cults. How can we properly understand the Biblical worldview and narrative? One way is to look at the cultural context in which it was written.

Bradley takes us through some interesting talking points, the history of the name Jesus, where the idea of using sacred Hebrew names comes from, the second temple period context of the New Testament, and more.

Join us as we discuss these important topics.

Tonight we speak with Nathan E. Jones who is an outreach evangelist and author of ‘The Coming Millennial Kingdom’ with Lamb and Lion Ministries.

In this discussion I ask him what he expects to see in the thousand-year reign of Christ and what the Bible details about Ezekiel’s Temple, believed to be present in Jerusalem during this time period. We also touch on the history of the literal interpretation of the millennial reign and whether it’s a new idea in the context of church history.

Mark has a passion for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and joins us to discuss the times we are in and whether the Bible really teaches that Jesus is God.

If you’ve never heard the term “sacred purge” or “dominionism”, you may not fully realise how concerning the doctrines found within the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) can be.

There is a growing number within apostate Christendom who believe in some form of a 'militarised' uprising to take domination over the earth and “establish Christ’s Kingdom” before His return.

I invited Stephen Montgomery, author of "NAR: The Converging Apostasy” onto RISE RADIO to delve into his extensive research of this cult movement and where it came from.

Stephen became concerned back when he was part of a group who taught hyper-charismatic teachings. So much so that he phoned up several leaders and asked direct questions related to the idea of a "sacred purge" to see how they would respond.

On the show Stephen explains the three core tenets of the converging apostasy: Perfection, Dominion and the Sacred Purge and how this is playing out in the movement.

--------

Stephen's book "The Converging Apostasy" (which is an extensive manual) is available here:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Converging-Apostasy-Mr-Stephen-Montgomery/dp/B0CV184C3S

A Quick Outline of "Hands-on" Eschatology: A Matter of Timing and Agency 

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTV9F3Y3?ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_W49ZKME7H8WDZR4A7ZVH&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_W49ZKME7H8WDZR4A7ZVH&social_share=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_W49ZKME7H8WDZR4A7ZVH

What sorts of actions would people take if they thought they were morally superior or that they would soon be made "perfect"? How would they act if they gained political or military power? What if they thought it was their job to "cleanse" America of dissenters and critics? Is it possible to learn from the past and the present? In this short primer for my longer and much more detailed The Converging Apostasy and The Converging Apostasy: A Collection of Thematic Critiques, these questions will be addressed. This will be done through four critical areas of concern; Perfection, Dominion, Rulership, and Purge. I provide examples of these four topics as they can be seen in (1) the Esoterically-influenced "Christian" World under the influence of Jane Lead's eschatology (2) the "Esoteric World" under the influence of Alice Bailey's eschatology (3) the Esoterically-influenced Alt-right and (4) mystically-inclined Russian authors.

Tonight we speak with Brad Maston, who is an author and pastor at Fort Collins Bible Church in Colorado and a regular guest on Grace Global Radio. After seeing the increase of interest in the Book of Enoch, Jasher, and other works, Brad Maston decided to do a deep dive study into inter-testimental books and complete a PhD on the subject.

I ask what he discovered during his research and the conclusions he's come to. We discuss the Nephilim in the antediluvian period (Days of Noah), the history of the two Genesis 6 interpretations, inter-testimental literature and mythology, specific inconsistencies with the Bible and dangers in the upsurge of books like Enoch & other Apocalyptic works.

This was a very intensive and interesting conversation and thoroughly appreciate Pastor Brad Maston for coming on the show. We will welcome him on a future episode.

Tonight we are speaking with Rick Thomas from LifeOverCoffee. Rick is a Biblical counsellor and speaker who recently wrote an article about Jordan Peterson and the "Neo-Conservative" Movement.

This article is entitled,

Jordan Peterson Fatigue: When the Desert Well Turns Brackish

"Jordan Peterson arrived on the scene during the cultural dusk of pre-woke chaos, when many of us were grasping for truth in a landscape flooded with censorship, self-worship, and secular ideologies."

- Quantum Computing and the future of AI

- Good and bad uses of tech

- Potential Biblical Implications of this time
