March 07, 2025 154. The Rapture is Unbiblical (Rethinking the Rapture Part 2)
🔥 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. Scofield—the men behind the myth✅ How dispensationalism neutered the Church and fueled escapism✅ Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 4 describe the SAME event✅ The postmillennial hope: Jesus reigns now, and His Kingdom is advancingSCRIPTURE REFERENCES📖 Matthew 24:30-41 – What does it mean to be "taken"?📖 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 – The so-called "rapture" in context📖 Isaiah 2:4, 9:7, 11:6 – Christ’s reign brings peace, not chaos📖 1 Corinthians 15:25-26 – Jesus reigns until all enemies are subdued📖 Matthew 13:30 – The wicked are taken, not the righteous📖 Luke 17:26-37 – Where the vultures gatherKEY TAKEAWAYS⚠️ The rapture doctrine is a 19th-century invention—before that, NO ONE taught it.⚠️ 1 Thessalonians 4:17 ("caught up") is about covenantal transition, NOT a cosmic evacuation.⚠️ Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 4 describe the same event—Christ’s judgment on Jerusalem in AD 70.⚠️ Dispensationalism weakened the Church by promoting fear and retreat instead of victory.✅ Jesus reigns NOW, and His Kingdom is growing like a mustard seed (Matthew 13:31-32).✅ The Church isn’t waiting for an escape—we’re here to build Christ’s Kingdom!SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS🚀 NEW MERCH STORE IS LIVE!

February 28, 2025 Christians And A Trump Presidency (An Interview with Philip Kulishov)
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!

January 25, 2025 149. The Second "Coming" ALREADY HAPPENED!
The Second “Coming” ALREADY Occurred
Welcome back to The PRODCAST, where we tackle the toughest biblical passages, demolish dispensational doom-and-gloom, and prod the church to live like Christ reigns—because He does!
In this episode, we dismantle one of the most misunderstood topics in eschatology: the second coming of Christ in Matthew 24. Spoiler alert—it’s already happened. Don’t worry, this doesn’t deny the future bodily return of Christ. Instead, we’re diving into what “coming” means in its historical and covenantal context.
🔑 What We Cover in This Episode
Why dispensationalism’s gap theory is a house of cards.
The true meaning of Jesus “coming on the clouds” (Hint: It’s not futuristic sky surfing).
Twelve lines of biblical evidence that Matthew 24 is fulfilled prophecy.
How this changes everything about how we live as Kingdom citizens today.
🚨 Key Highlights
Jesus’ words Are Trustworthy
1. The word “immediate” (Matthew 24:29) doesn’t leave room for a 2,000-year gap.
2. Every event Jesus prophesied—including the Great Tribulation and the fall of Jerusalem—happened within a generation.
Understanding the Genre
3. Jesus switches to apocalyptic language in Matthew 24. This isn’t about literal celestial disasters but symbolic judgment on the Old Covenant order.
Quoting the Prophets
1. Jesus draws directly from Old Testament passages (e.g., Daniel 7, Joel 2, Amos 8) to show that His judgment on Jerusalem fulfills centuries of prophecy.
Dispensationalism Debunked
1. Forget futuristic fantasies of global catastrophes. Matthew 24 isn’t about the end of the world; it’s about the end of the Old Covenant.
Living in the New Covenant Kingdom
1. The destruction of Jerusalem proves Christ’s enthronement as King. We’re not waiting for a Kingdom to come—it’s here, and it’s unshakable.
🌟 Takeaways for Today
Freedom: Stop living in fear of an apocalyptic future. Jesus reigns now!
Confidence: Trust His promises—Christ’s victory in AD 70 is proof that His Word is true.
Action: Live boldly as Kingdom builders. Christ’s Kingdom is advancing, and you’re part of it.
