🔥 Welcome to The PRODCAST! 🔥In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into one of the biggest myths in modern Christianity—the rapture. For months, we’ve been walking through Matthew 24, proving that so many "future" prophecies were actually fulfilled in AD 70. Now, we’re turning our attention to 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 to expose one of the most misused passages in all of Scripture.If you think "the rapture" means Christians will vanish from the world, buckle up. That’s not biblical.TOPICS COVERED✅ 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18—what Paul really meant✅ The “rapture” is a modern invention—here’s where it came from✅ John Nelson Darby & C.I.

In this episode of The PRODCAST, I sit down with entrepreneur and business strategist Philip Kulishov to discuss how Christians should think about the Trump presidency and what we should be doing with the time we've been given.We dive into:✅ Why Christians must learn to steward victory and not just expect battle and defeat✅ How business, finance, and productivity are key tools for kingdom building✅ Why communism, socialism, and statism are antithetical to Christianity✅ The historical suppression of Christianity in Soviet Russia and what we can learn from it✅ How Christians can build institutions, wealth, and influence for long-term gospel impactPhilip shares his powerful story of growing up in a family that fled communist Russia, his grandfather’s imprisonment for the faith, and how these experiences shaped his perspective on work, wealth, and dominion. We also discuss why globalism is pushing back against nationalism, why many Christians don’t know how to handle winning, and why this next four years is a God-given opportunity to build.🔗 Follow Philip Kulishov:Website: https://philipkulishov.comBusiness Podcast (Business 300 – Short, impactful insights on business management): https://philipkulishov.com/podcastX (Twitter): https://twitter.com/KulPhil🎧 Subscribe & Support the Show:If this conversation encouraged you, make sure to like, share, and subscribe!

The Great Trumpet Blast | Matthew 24:31 Explained

The Second “Coming” ALREADY Occurred

In today’s episode of The PRODCAST, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood prophecies in Scripture: the Great Tribulation. Many believe it’s a future apocalyptic event, but the evidence from Matthew 24 and history shows it already occurred in the first century, culminating in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. This monumental event marked God’s covenantal judgment on apostate Israel and the triumphant establishment of His New Covenant Kingdom.

12 Reasons The Abomination of Desolation ALREADY Happened...

In today’s special Christmas episode of The PRODCAST, we’re exploring how the Christmas story isn’t just a warm tradition—it’s a proclamation of Christ’s unstoppable kingdom. From Genesis to Isaiah, Micah to the Gospels, Christmas proves the postmillennial hope: that Jesus’ reign will grow, transform, and ultimately conquer the world.
