They Lied To You About the Rapture

In this episode, I interview Pastor Alan Didio about his new book They Lied to You About the Rapture. We discuss the growing attacks against pre-Tribulation Rapture theology and why this hope-filled message is so important for believers. Pastor Alan shares his personal dream about the End Times and explains why the pre-Tribulation Rapture is biblical. We explore how the Rapture represents the culmination of Christ's redemptive work for our bodies, and why understanding the purpose of the Tribulation is crucial. Pastor Alan also addresses common misconceptions, including the idea that pre-Tribulation believers are more likely to take the Mark of the Beast. Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of imminence—the understanding that Jesus could return at any moment—and how this perspective transforms how we live our lives as believers.

After the interview, I address the prophecy of the popes, focusing on Pope Francis as potentially the 112th and final pope according to the 12th-century prophecy by St. Malachy. I discuss Pope Francis' recent recovery from pneumonia and his immediate statement condemning Israel upon leaving the hospital. I examine the significance of this timing in light of current world events and what it might indicate about our proximity to the End Times. In the final segment, I answer a viewer question about the importance of water baptism for salvation and being included in the Rapture. I explain that while baptism is commanded by Jesus and brings spiritual benefits through the “circumcision of Christ,” genuine believers who couldn't be baptized (like the thief on the cross) can still be saved. I clarify the difference between infant christening and biblical baptism by immersion following a personal decision for Christ.

NEW: Whats Next? Preparing for the Rapture

Mark Hitchcock and I have completed a new book in our What's Next? series titled Preparing for the Rapture. In this essential guide, we make a comprehensive biblical case for the Rapture of the Church happening before the 7-year Tribulation period. We explore key passages like 1 Thessalonians 4, 1 Corinthians 15, and Revelation 3:10 that reveal the Rapture as the next prophetic event on God's calendar. This book answers common objections to a pre-Trib Rapture, examines the signs indicating its imminence, and shares important ways to w should spiritually prepare for meeting Jesus face-to-face. We also contrast the Rapture with the Second Coming, detailing what believers can expect at the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. With clarity and biblical insight, Preparing for the Rapture will equip you with truth and fill you with hope as we anticipate Christ's soon return.
