Prophecy Countdown S1:E16

The Certainty of Jesus’ Return

While we cannot know the day or hour of Christ’s return, we can know it’s close by the signs given in the Bible. But God’s Word not only tells us approximately when Jesus will return; it also tells us how. Will millions of Christians suddenly disappear in a rapture? Pastor Doug explores what the Bible really says!

The King’s Prophetic Dream

A pagan king threatened to kill his wisemen because they couldn’t interpret his dream, but a Jewish captive was given the secrets. Daniel chapter 2 gives one of the most amazing prophecies ever recorded—and proves God’s Word can be trusted. This changes everything you thought you knew about prophecy!

The Birth of Evil

Did God create a devil? Lucifer was a perfect angel. Yet he became self-obsessed, rebelled against his Creator and stole the loyalty of a third of the angels. Ever since, Satan and his demons have been fighting for the worship of every human heart. Learn how this extraordinary cosmic battle affects your life today!

The Decalogue And God's Dilemma

Many Christians say that the Ten Commandments were negated when Jesus died on the cross. But is it true that God’s grace has blotted out His law? Discover what really happened when Jesus sacrificed His life, why He had to die, and what law actually passed away when He was crucified for your sins.

The Good News About Hell

Will God punish the wicked in fire for all eternity? Doesn’t eternal torture contradict His love and justice? What does the Bible really teach about the punishment for sin? Explore the powerful evidence in the New Testament that reveals a startlingly different picture of hell and hellfire than you’ve been led to believe!

A Voice From The Jordan

Before leaving Earth, Jesus commanded His disciples to take the gospel to every nation. Those who accept salvation are to be baptized, a rite illustrated by an Old Testament prophet and exemplified by Christ in the New Testament. Find out what baptism means—and why it still matters today.

The Day Of The Lord

The first angel’s message in Revelation 14 is a call to worship Him “who made heaven and earth”—a direct reference to the fourth commandment. Most Christians believe that the seventh-day Sabbath is for Jews, but the Bible reveals a completely different picture than what you’ve been told.

The Woman In The Wilderness

Revelation 12 gives us with an overview of history from Christ’s birth to the final events. It pulls back the veil to uncover the origin of sin and the conflict between God’s people and their archenemy. Satan’s true character shows to what extent he will go to destroy God’s faithful bride in the last days.

Devils and Dead Prophets

Near-death experiences reinforce the popular belief among Christians that souls go to heaven or hell as soon as the body dies. But in the Bible, the soul is said to be “a living being”—and that a soul can die. Scripture also repeatedly describes death as a “sleep” from which we awake at one of two resurrections.

Satan Bound and Burned

The Bible says a thousand years of peace are coming. What event begins this 1,000-year period? Where will God’s people be during the millennium? The devil has concocted a counterfeit message about the 1,000 years and the great day of judgment because these events reveal his greatest weakness.

The Final Beast of Revelation

Just as ancient Babylon persecuted those who would not worship its gods, so modern Babylon will persecute those who will not worship Revelation’s “the beast and his image.” Who is this beast that blasphemes God for 1,200 days? Only one institution in history meets every detail described in the Bible.

Restoring the Temple

To teach His people the way of salvation, God instructed them to build a sanctuary. This temple had three main areas: a courtyard, a holy place and a most holy place. What the priests did in each compartment illustrates what our High Priest, Jesus Christ, is doing today to eradicate sin from our lives.

Decoding the Longest Prophecy

The first angel of Revelation 14 proclaims a judgment that occurs before Jesus comes in glory. This judgment begins at the end of the longest time prophecy in Scripture—the 2,300 days of Daniel 8:14. Once every case has been decided in the courtroom of heaven, Jesus will return with His rewards.

Babylon and the Lamb-Like Beast

Does the Bible speak of the United States in Bible prophecy? Yes! Not only does the most powerful and influential nation on Earth in our time play a vital role in the final events, but it works with another prophetic power. Learn how these two world powers are symbolized in Revelation 13.

The Deadly Mark or Saving Seal?

In Revelation 13, a second beast forces the whole world “to worship the first beast” by accepting “a mark on their right hand or … foreheads.” Comparing this mark to the seal that God places on the foreheads of His followers, we can know that these marks are symbols of one’s eternal allegiance.
