What does the Bible actually say about the Antichrist, Armageddon, and the end times? In this episode, John Ortberg clears away the clutter of speculation—like presidential “666” theories, modern rapture charts, or end-times guessing games—and returns us to the words of Scripture itself. Drawing from 1 John, Revelation, and the prophets, John shows how terms like “Antichrist” and “tribulation” were meant for real people facing real suffering, not just future predictions. Along the way, you’ll hear insights from Bruce Metzger’s Breaking the Code and Dallas Willard’s vision of our eternal destiny—not endless bureaucracy, but creative life with Christ. Instead of fear, we’re invited into faithfulness, hope, and love, living today as people of God’s kingdom while looking forward to the day when all is made new.
