John Alley

Once again John Alley brings a message about “end times”, beginning with an examination of the meaning of the “coming” of Christ and then giving an overview of the book of Revelation. Revelation, John explains, is the most Jewish of all the books of the New Testament, drawing greatly on Jewish symbols, history, concepts and nuances of language. The book was written to the seven churches of Asia, at a time when there was a larger percentage of Jewish Christians in the Asian region, and there was a huge emphasis on Emperor worship. John examines events from history which all point to the book of Revelation being written in about 64 or 65 AD.

With this understanding, then, it is very easy to see that most of the prophecy of the book of Revelation has been fulfilled in the great tribulation and suffering inflicted on the Church by the Emperor Nero. Therefore, the Beast referred to in the book would seem to most likely have been Nero himself. John explains many fascinating facts including the source of the number 666 and then goes on to say that as for the future, we have hope, a great calling, a great many promises and a Messiah King ruling in Heaven. We should be encouraged, says John, that although difficult times will come for some people, the Gospel triumphs over them all and we need to pour ourselves out in service to God for the furtherance of the Kingdom.

Gary DeMar

In February of 2013, three biblical scholars set out to debate discuss three separate views of Revelation in Reno, Nevada.

Dr. Sam Waldron, academic dean of Midwest Center for Theological Studies and professor of systematic theology debated discussed the Idealist position.
Gary DeMar, M. Div, Reformed Theological Seminary debated discussed the (partial) Preterist position.
Dr. James Hamilton, Asst. Professor of biblical studies, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary debated discussed the futurist position.

What happened however turned out not to be a typical talking head debate symposium on the book of Revelation.

Gary DeMar, author, Christian apologist, president of American Vision and editor in chief of Biblical Worldview Magazine returns to our broadcast to reveal “The Identity of the Beast of Revelation and the Anti-Christ”!

Themes in the Gospel of John (Entire Lecture!)

In this short clip from our new course “Themes in John”, Professor Wright discusses what justice is and how it is approached in the gospel of John.

If you’ve ever studied the book of John, you might assume it’s all about “eternal life.” But what if John has something different—and much more jewish—in mind?

Voddie Baucham

Voddie Baucham wears many hats. He is a husband, father, pastor, author, professor, conference speaker and church planter. He currently serves as Pastor of Preaching at Grace Family Baptist Church in Spring, TX. He has served as an adjunct professor at the College of Biblical Studies in Houston, TX, and Union University in Jackson, TN. He has also lectured at Southern Seminary.

Voddie makes the Bible clear and demonstrates the relevance of God’s word to everyday life. However, he does so without compromising the centrality of Christ and the gospel. Those who hear him preach find themselves both challenged and encouraged.

Mark – N.T. Wright

Gospel of Mark Introduction

Professor Tom Wright discusses why it’s important to read Mark, and why at Lent, setting us up for The Big Read 2012.

Week 1 of The Big Read 2012. It’s the first week of Lent, and we are called to ‘prepare’ ourselves and our hearts for Easter.

Week 2 of The Big Read 2012. We are looking at echoes – echoes of the Old Testament, and echoes of Jesus in our own lives.

Week 3 of The Big Read 2012. Professor Tom Wright explains about expectations, covering rules, purity and legalism.

Professor Tom Wright speaks to us in Week 4 of The Big Read 2012, looking at the challenges we face in understanding who Jesus is, and how we live for him.

Professor Tom Wright, in Week 5 of The Big Read 2012 looks at signs and miracles in Mark’s gospels, and how our lives will change as we observe them.

Professor Tom Wright looks at Jesus’ death, and how Jesus, as life himself, revolted at the idea of going to death, but did it as a matter of vocation.

Professor Tom Wright takes us to the end of the Gospel of Mark, discussing the end of Mark, and how new conclusions have been written. Easter is not just a ‘happy ending’, but amazing, mysterious, new thing, that has not happened before!

Professor Tom Wright encourages us to think about how Mark sees Jesus’ death, designed for around halfway through ‘The Big Read 2012’.

If we’re about to read Mark over Easter, Professor Tom Wright encourages us to think what we’re engaging with. Designed for Easter Week of ‘The Big Read 2012’.

Matthew – Steve Gregg

The series of lectures on the Gospel of Matthew were delivered by Bible-teacher Steve Gregg at the Youth with a Mission (YWAM) School of Biblical Studies in Vancouver, BC in March 2018.

John Alley

Once again speaking on the subject of eschatology, John Alley begins this message with a brief outline of the life of Rev Richard Johnson, who arrived on the First Fleet 226 years ago. Rev Johnson achieved remarkable things, says John, as did his contemporaries Wilberforce and Newton. So what did these men have in common that resulted in the great works that they achieved? Clearly, all 3 believed in our wonderful Saviour, but in addition these men did NOT believe that the world was almost at an end, and therefore whole-heartedly poured out their lives in service to Christ.

John, examining the Passage from Matthew 24 and 25, outlines 13 differences in the 2 parts of this passage, each of which answers one of the two questions posed to Jesus in Matthew 24:3. This verse is often interpreted as being one question, but a closer examination clearly proves that there were actually 2 questions, and therefore 2 answers. The first question and answer have already been fulfilled, but the second is still in the future. We should not, therefore, become complacent but should work for the Kingdom of God.

Gary DeMar

People often make the mistake of not getting all the facts on the table before they make a case about the facts. Example: Bible prophecy is often misinterpreted when Christians assume Bible passages must fit into their presupposed eschatology. “Pay no mind to what the Bible says—I’ve already made up my mind what the Bible means….” Gary DeMar urges watchers to take Biblical facts at face value, and not reorder or redefine the facts to fit your presupposed beliefs.
