Daniel 9:24–27 is one of the most well-known prophetic passages in Scripture. It describes the “seventy weeks” determined for Israel and lists six things that must be accomplished within that time. In this episode, we’re going to focus on the first four: To finish the transgression To make an end of sins To make reconciliation for iniquity To bring in everlasting righteousness Most Christians agree that Jesus offers reconciliation, but very few would go so far

In Matthew 3, John the Baptist warned the Pharisees with these words: “Even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire… He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor… but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” Notice how John said “even now.” The judgment was not some far-off event thousands o

As children, many of us were taught that “hell” is a place of eternal torment — a fiery afterlife for those who don’t measure up. That idea haunted me growing up. I believed it so strongly that I devoted myself to trying to “save as many as possible before we die.” But here’s the question: is this concept of hell actually supported in Scripture? In this episode of The Hour We Least Expected, we take a closer look at the Bible itself to see where the idea of hell comes from

In our first two episodes, we explored how judgment took place at the Cross and how being “born again” is not a choice we make but a reality accomplished through Christ. That brings us to another crucial question: what did Jesus mean when He said, “Till heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or tittle will pass from the Law until all is fulfilled” (Matthew 5:17–18)?

In our last episode, we explored how the end of the age was not some far-off event but the moment of the Cross itself — when judgment fell, all died, and eternal life was revealed. That naturally raises a few big questions: What about free will? What about the rapture or the second coming? What about hell? And what about being “born again”? This episode dives into that last question — and what Jesus really meant when He told Nicodemus, “You must be born ag

Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. When we watch the Super Bowl, we all know when the game is over because the clock runs out and the winner is clear. But when it comes to the Bible, the “game clock” isn’t so obvious. People have debated the timing of prophecy and “the end of the age” for centuries. Everyone agrees there’s an ending — but when does it actually happen?

For years I believed the gospel the way it was taught to me. I preached it. I defended it. I lived it. And yet, the deeper I looked, the...

For as long as I can remember, questioning what we were taught about God was treated like something dangerous. Maybe you’ve felt that, too. You ask a hard question and the answer you get is, “Well, God’s ways are higher than ours.” Or, “We just have to trust Him.” And sometimes, if a leader doesn’t know how to answer, it turns into, “Just trust me.” I don’t think anyone means that maliciously. But let’s be honest — that kind of response doesn’t bring peace. It doesn’t clea

There’s one objection I hear all the time. It usually sounds like this: “If I stay where I’m at, believing the way I do, I’m safe. If you’re right, and everyone is saved, then I’m still safe because I stayed faithful. But if you’re wrong and I go your way, I could end up in hell.” At first, it sounds clever — almost like a spiritual insurance policy. But when you stop and think about it, it doesn’t really make sense. Because here’s the deal: in the mainstream view, salv
