Understanding the End Times: Are We Living in the Last Days?

Show notes

About This Episode The end times can stir up a lot of fear, but our hope is a wedding feast, not wrath. In this episode we share how we approach Bible prophecy with faith rather than anxiety, including what we experienced growing up and how to talk with your kids about it without causing fear. We lay out the four main views of the end times and why we lean toward a literal thousand-year reign of Christ. Then we explain the difference between the rapture and the second coming, why we hold a pre-tribulation view, and how God's character in the stories of Noah, the plagues, Sodom, and Rahab shows He spares His people from wrath. We close by walking through the Galilean wedding and how it mirrors Christ coming for His bride.
