I had a great interview with Mike Indest on his new podcast Down the Line here.
We talked about the Last Days in the New Testament, my journey out of Left Behindism, and how the book of Revelation was fulfilled in the first century.
Modern day prophecy pundits are speculative like conspiracy theories. They are always wrong, and they are always changing.
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!
Wait? How can that be? Haven’t we been told Revelation is about the judgment of the earth?
Well it’s not what they told you…
Shocking, yes, only because of a modern bias in interpreting the Bible through our worldview, instead of the ancient Jewish worldview.
A great discussion with Derek Gilbert, who does not agree with my view, but is very willing to entertain the conversation.
We talk all about my novels the Chronicles of the Apocalypse as well as the historical event of the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in AD 70 and how it fits Matthew 24 and the book of Revelation.
You will find this fascinating.
A great podcast interview with TruthSeekah about the End Times. We talked about how the prophecies of the Last Days were not the Last Days of the earth, but the Last Days of the Old Covenant. If this is true then the entire paradigm of Bible prophecy that most Christians are following must be changed.
Listen how you can begin to do so. Check out the podcast here.
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.
This is a FASCINATING discussion. One of my most interesting.
I was on Rob Skiba’s podcast talking about the End Times and the failure of modern Bible Prophecy pundits over and over and over again.
With such a track record of absolute and total failures, maybe it’s not because individuals are wrong in specific interpretations. Maybe its the entire system that is wrong.
Consider something radically different. Consider preterism…
What happens when two heretics discuss opposing views on the End Times? Find out in this first of a multi-part series, which will compare Brian Godawa’s Preterist views versus Rob Skiba’s Futurist views concerning what the Bible calls the “Last Days.” In this broadcast, Brian lays out the foundation for why he no longer believes in the Futurist position, as described in his latest series of books.
