We made it, Door-itos. This is the last parable on the Road to Revelation series 🎉 So maybe it's fitting that we talk about heaven and hell and the figurative keys to the two places that we see in the Bible because turns out, they have everything to do with all the parables that we have been talking about for 8 months (8 months!). We want to thank New Heaven New Earth Shincheonji Church of Jesus for sharing a part of their testimony with us. You can check out the rest of the testimony on their YouTube channel (link below). We also want to thank everyone who has been a part of this series, it's been truly fascinating and enriching! We're taking a short break but we'll be back soon so don't miss us too much 💙

The Dog Behind the Human with Tina Ryan

We're still not over the fact that Israel was actually a blessing that was bestowed upon Jacob by God and it means "overcome" and that the proof of Israel is 12 tribes - Jacob had 12 sons who eventually became the 12 tribes and Jesus had 12 disciples who are addressed as "12 tribes" in James 1:1. But is there a third Israel to be created according to the book of Revelation? Bonus: numbers in the Bible and their significance!

Mica is a host, actress, model, vlogger and restaurant-owner who even has a day job and we're still wondering how she found the time to join us on the pod but she did! She swings by to share her born-again moment and ask Instructor Aaron questions about prayer - would it speed up God's answer if I prayed more? Does sin hinder blessings? Does God change His mind? Pray tell! 🙏🏼

Host and actress Issa Litton is a curious cat and not only does she want to know about the heaven, earth, sun, moon and stars that are used figuratively in the book of Revelation but she even asks about the sea that passes away in Rv 21:1 😸 This is perhaps the biggest reason why people equate the end time to a physical destruction of the planet but if we consider how the same language already appeared in an Old Testament book of prophecy (Is 65:17, for one) and read what happened in Gn 37:9-11, well, we think it's time we put away all the scary doomsday interpretations of Revelation. So what does it all mean then? Come on in the Narrow Door to find out 😉

Our friend Issa is a host, actress and the Lit behind 1Lit Corp and she wants to know - why do some people think this is the time of the end? The term 'end time' gets thrown around a lot to mean the annihilation of the planet and life as we know it but is that what the Bible is referring to when it says end time/end of the world/end of the age? On this episode, Instructor Aaron gives us an overview of the different eras that were ended and recreated in the Bible, explains how we can know this biblical end time is now and what it means for believers today.

Jerusalem and Babylon are two places that appear from the Old Testament all the way to the book of Revelation in the Bible. We understand that these are actual places where a lot of significant events took place in the past but what are they doing in a book of prophecy for the second coming, especially Babylon when it no longer exists as such? Many claim and fear that a physical war will be the beginning of the end but the Scriptures make it clear that we do not wage war as the world does (Eph 6, 2Cor 10) so it's all a little confusing but that's why we're here. Come on in and let's talk about it! 😉

Big D has been in your ear for 30 years and currently does the mid-day and morning show on 104.3 Capital FM2. He was once Sam's radio boss and Tina's radio partner (who'd make her cry 😂). On this episode, he shares his thoughts on the second coming which leads to a conversation about how we should react to a testimony, the logic of the Bible, judgment and salvation, why the Bible says the coming of the Son of Man will be like the time of Noah and Lot and what that means - possibly for us.

The girls get a little QT with Instructor Aaron today because, you know, maybe he feels like he just gets grilled about the book of Revelation all the time (which we're sure he doesn't even mind! 😂). We tried to stay away from church stuff and failed miserably but we did get to squeeze in some hard-hitting questions like does Instructor Aaron like pineapple on his pizza? Plus, our listener Tom writes to us about some struggles he's having in his personal and faith life. You can write to us, too! 👉🏼 [email protected]

It's part 2 of our conversation with journalist and TV host Mariz Umali on the parables of bridegroom, bride, widow and orphan and she has questions! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Sam is officially blown away by this fascinating parable language and Tina is worried about being a spiritual orphan 😂 All while Instructor Aaron weaves through Matthew chapters 22, 24 and 25 (and more!) to help us understand today's parables. Who's your daddy? You'll understand when you listen to the episode 😛

It's a mouthful because we got lots to talk about on this two-parter with veteran TV journalist and pioneering K-fan Mariz Umali 😍 After hearing her thoughts on the book of Revelation, Instructor Aaron takes us through this language in the Bible of God wanting to marry us, us being the brides of Christ, taking care of widows and orphans being the religion that God accepts as pure and faultless (James 1:27) - why?? Understanding all of this is important because the wedding banquet of the Lamb finally takes place in the book of Revelation! So put on your wedding clothes and come on in 👰🏻‍♀️
