Victory Against the Gates of Hell

In today’s Tipping Point show, I interview Derek and Sharon Gilbert about their fascinating new book The Gates of Hell. They reveal how Jesus deliberately traveled to pagan sites considered entrances to the underworld to directly confront the powers of darkness at their strongholds. We discuss Mount Hermon, where fallen angels descended according to ancient texts, and how Jesus’ Transfiguration there was a powerful declaration of victory. The Gilberts explain how understanding ancient spiritual geography transforms our view of Jesus’ ministry from random wanderings to strategic spiritual warfare.

After this eye-opening conversation, I answer subscriber questions about whether Jesus fulfilled his statement about not eating until the Kingdom comes, how the doctrine of imminence relates to Israel’s rebirth as a nation, whether ChatGPT can be trusted for biblical answers, and what Jesus meant when he said, “Depart from me, I never knew you.” I also share powerful testimonies of lives changed through the Tipping Point ministry.

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.
