Episode 194: Killing Jesus by Bill O’Reilly is currently the best-selling book in the world. While the death of Jesus is arguably the most important event in history, it necessarily points us to the resurrection.

Revelation 21
Episode 192: Our typical interpretation of Revelation 21 & 22 is that this is heaven. However, I challenge that view in this episode. If John is not talking about heaven, what is he talking about? Tune in as I explain the vision.

Revelation 17
Episode 187: Revelation 17 unveils for us the identity of the nation or empire which will be judged by God and His wrath poured out upon them: Rome.
