I was on Joshua Wisely’s podcast Eschaton.
Josh is quite Wise about the Last Days. So our talk was quite informed. Plus, I love this guy’s voice. 🙂
Here is what we talked about with the time locations:
6:15 – Resistant: Revolt of the Jews
19:00 – Josephus and the Jewish Wars
29:15 – Abomination of Desolation
40:00 – The Two Witnesses
50:25 – The Watchers in the Book of Revelation
61:00 – Divine Judgment
68:00 – Collapsing Universe Imagery
72:00 – Psychedelics and Prophetic Visions
I was just on the podcast Church and Other Drugs.
It was a very good in depth talk about the addiction to End Times speculation and my new novel Resistant.
We talked about Josephus, the Beast & The Harlot, mystery Babylon, Daniel, and exactly what DOES the bible have to say about the end of days?

I was on Parker’s Comparables, a podcast that engages differing interpretations of the Bible. Hosted by the wonderful hostess Parker J. Cole.
This one was on the book of Revelation. Are the prophecies of Revelation for our future or were they for the first century?
Then we focused on: Who is the Harlot that rides the Beast of Revelation?
Is she a symbol for modern America, as Doug Woodward believes?
Or is she a symbol for the first-century apostate Jewish priesthood as I argue for?
The discussion is mostly friendly until Doug breaks civility at one point and slanders me with a false ad hominem, an attack on the person instead of the idea or argument. But I called him out on it. I turned the tables on him, and then we got back to civility. Eschatology can get exciting! 🙂
I am telling you, this debate is an excellent example of why it is important to stick to Scripture rather than speculations when you want to understand prophecy.
I just released the third novel of my series Chronicles of the Apocalypse, that actually show you how the Harlot and the Beast play out in the first century.

Fantasy and horror are God’s favorite two genres when it comes to prophecy.
I wrote this article for Speculative Faith, an excellent website for Christians who love fantasy, sci-fi, and all things speculative.
I take a look at the elements of fantasy and horror that the Revelation uses to inspire “holy fear.”
I got this article published on AmericanVision.org, a ministry I have learned a lot from about Bible prophecy.
So it was an honor to have this published here.
Is Revelation a global judgment of the entire earth or a local judgment of the Land of Israel in the first century?
YOU WILL BE SURPRISED.
I say the latter.
I wrote this article that Gary DeMar has published on his website here.
It’s about how we tend to misread Revelation because of one little poorly translated word: “earth.”
Read the article to find out how the correct translation of that word changes everything.
This is an honor for me, because Gary’s work on the End Times is one of the most influential on my view.
These guys like beer and theology. fascinating combination.
I start around 9 minutes in. I first talk about my screenwriting career.
Then we talk about how I gave up on “Left Behindism.”
And then I talk about the story of first century Rome vs. Jerusalem in the storyline of my series Chronicles of the Apocalypse.
Spiritual warfare stories. Supernatural worldview, and more!
It’s crazy to try to discuss such a complex book with two completely opposite paradigms.
Since Rob and I are crazy (in different ways), we decided to do just that.
I argue for Revelation being about the first century destruction of Jerusalem, he considers most of it future.
But there are areas of agreement too.
More to come!
Me and Rob Skiba again! The guy is smart, sharp, he’s got a good sense of humor, and he’s a very fair host.
It’s so hard, trying not to fall into the trap of saying that every new podcast interview is “the best one yet.” That dilutes the phrase. It’s a dangerous slippery slope into click bait.
But I have to say this series of discussions truly are the best interviews I’ve had. We go deep into issues and because it’s a series, we cover a lot more ground than I have before.
This interview starts out on the poetry of Bible prophecy. Metaphors, hyperbole, symbols versus “literal.” What about double fulfillment? Are the Last Days in our future or were they in our past as the Last Days of the Old Covenant?
Listen here to the podcast online. You’ll be glad you did.
Part 1 is on the same page as Part 2 if you want to listen to it.
Part 3 is coming next week. We’ll talk about the book of Revelation specifically.
Hint: They are not in our future. But they were crucial to God’s plan in the first century destruction of Jerusalem and the temple.
I was just guest posted at the American Vision website with this article.
