Episode 100 - Rape And A Murder
A culture that tolerates abuse is very hard to eradicate, much harder than its leaders suppose. If David thought that his personal repentance was all it would take to restore his household’s integrity, he was tragically mistaken. Sadly, this kind of complacency and willing disregard in tolerating a culture of abuse continues to the present day. How many churches, corporations, universities, governments and organizations have promised to root out a culture of sexual abuse after an incident is exposed, only to fall back immediately into the same old ways and to perpetrate even further abuses?
The Bible says that David "saw" Bathsheba. But what was it that he didn't see?
This week on Connecting the Gap we discuss this as we take our text out of 2 Samuel 11. Visit our website at www.connectingthegap.net for all of our podcasting platforms and please subscribe and share. Our goal in 2023 is to grow this ministry and reach more people with the Gospel. We are excited about what God has done through this ministry in 2022 but without your help we cannot fulfill the complete calling of what God has placed on Connecting the Gap. Thank you for your prayers and support!

Episode 99 - The Best Is Yet To Come (The Tale of Two Faiths)
Why did Jesus tell Mary not to touch Him after he was resurrected but a week later asked Thomas to do the same? Are there some lessons to be learned in this story that can be applied into this new upcoming year? As we start this new year where do you stand? Do you pray blessings over this year and believe in your heart the best is yet to come? Do you stand grounded in faith that regardless of the bleakness of your current situation God is still in control? Or are you that person that has passed the new year with the mindset that you will believe it all goes away when you see it happen?
This week on Connecting the Gap we talk about the tale of two faiths, the best is yet to come!

Episode 98 - What Child Is This?
What Child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary
What memories do you have of hearing or singing this Christmas carol? What do the words of this carol bring to mind or stir in your heart? Why do you think the circumstances of Jesus’ birth are so significant? By sacrificing His own life, what did Christ do for us that we could never do for ourselves? What does that mean to you personally? How does the fact that Jesus was “one of us,” affect your relationship with Him? How has the promise of Christ’s return given you hope in your daily life? How have you responded to Christ’s knock on the door of your heart? How has that affected your life? How can you celebrate that this Christmas season and throughout the year?
This week we talk about these thoughts in this week's episode of Connecting the Gap. Join us this week as we discuss the true person of Jesus as the Baby, the Lamb of God, the Man, and our returning King!

God has, through the redemption wrought by his Son, set into motion a new humanity. In the present age he rules the hearts of all who have turned to him in faith: in the age to come that reign will find its full completion. Sin will forever be removed and the design of Eden will be totally realized. This week on Connecting the Gap, we finish up Revelation 21 and 22 in our study on Prophecies of the Bible. This is the final week left of this study! The next couple of weeks we will do some special Christmas episodes and a New Year’s episode so you will have that to look forward to.

Episode 95 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 61 - A New Jerusalem
This world will not continue forever. The Second Law of Thermodynamics, otherwise known as the Law of Entropy, declares that all organized systems tend to disorder after time. Like all things, the earth, along with this physical universe, will wear out. This week on Connecting the Gap, we finish up Revelation 20 and get started into chapter 21 in our study on Prophecies of the Bible. We only have two weeks left of this study!

Episode 94 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 60 - World War 3
Yet as the armies of the world converge upon Armageddon on a massive collision course, suddenly their objective will change. Instead of contending with each other, they will unite to fight the armies of the Messiah that descend from heaven to the storied fields of Armageddon. This week on Connecting the Gap, we finish up Revelation 19 and get started into chapter 20 as we are getting close to wrapping up our study on Prophecies of the Bible.

Episode 93 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 59 - Blood Repaid
A truly global economy was not possible until today. Before the advent of modern communication and transportation systems, the world was little more than a collection of economic islands. However, there is no denying the fact that the same generation that saw Israel come back in her land (1948), is also seeing the world’s economic focus set clearly on free trade zones, the reduction of tariffs and the building of “the new global economy”. This week on Connecting the Gap, we finish up Revelation 18 and also cover the beginning of chapter 19 in our continuing study on Prophecies of the Bible.

Episode 92 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 58 - Antichrist, The Puppet
The Beast, who was dominated by the harlot system (Rev 17:3), rises against her and destroys her and her system completely. Without doubt the harlot system was in competition with the religious worship of the Beast, promoted by the False Prophet, and her destruction is brought about so that the Beast may be the sole object of false worship as he claims to be God. This week on Connecting the Gap, we finish up Revelation 17 and also cover the beginning of chapter 18 in our continuing study on Prophecies of the Bible.

Episode 91 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 57 - The Woman Rides the Beast
Teachings of non-monotheistic Eastern religions (religions that believe in many gods) have infected even the Church itself, driving it increasingly toward apostasy (to completely forsake one’s faith or religion) and a laissez-faire (letting people do as they please) interpretation of God’s Word. With widespread religious deception so out of control, it is easy to understand how worldwide ecclesiastical trends are leading to the dawn of a one-world church controlled by the spirits of Satan. This week on Connecting the Gap we have reached Revelation 17 in our continuing study on Prophecies of the Bible.

Episode 90 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 56 - A Round of Blood, Please
Armageddon is coming …. Who in their right mind would choose to fight with the Antichrist against God? Yet millions are making such a decision each day when they reject so great a salvation as that offered by God through His Son, Jesus Christ. For this is the heart of what Armageddon is all about. It is the world saying, “We will not bow our knee to anyone. We are too proud. We are too mighty. We are too important.” This week on Connecting the Gap we study our way through Revelation 16 verse by verse in our continuing study on Prophecies of the Bible.

Episode 89 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 55 - Tormented By Fire
Many religious leaders of the present day are very enthusiastic about what they call “Christian Unity.” Millions of professing Christians are being swept by sentimental appeals into the ecumenical monster, the World Council of Churches, the one-world church. Again and again people are heard to exclaim, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we just had one great big church?” They will have their one great big church, but it will not be so wonderful. It will be a federation of God-defying, Christ-denying, apostate religious leaders. This week on Connecting the Gap we jump back into Revelation 14 and make our way through chapter 15 verse by verse in our continuing study on Prophecies of the Bible.

Episode 88 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 54 - The Mark Of The Beast
Many cult leaders deify themselves and humanize God; they raise themselves as gods and bring Christ down to mere human status. The false Christs of the cults are idols, and the Bible warns explicitly that when we bow down to any idol, we are worshiping devils. When social security cards were introduced, people thought it was the mark of the beast. Later came the real ID, then the COVID vaccination. Passports have been accused of being the mark as well. The truth of the matter is, when the mark of the beast arrives, the ones that are left here on the Earth that know anything about prophecy will know it. You won't buy, sell, or do any kind of business unless you accept the eternal mark of damnation. This week on Connecting the Gap we continue our study on Prophecies of the Bible and we are talking about the mark.

Episode 87 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 53 - The Beast From The Sea
To say that he, the Antichrist, emerges from the depths may simply mean that his wicked motivations are inspired from the pits of Satan. Other passages of Scripture show him to be an evil and rational earthly being and not simply a demonic creature. When he arrives upon the world scene, he may become the most powerful and moth loathsome human being to reside on earth. He acts as the devil’s arch tool for the physical and spiritual destruction of humanity. This week we get started into chapter 13 of Revelation with talking about the beast that comes from out of the sea and what that means. Later on, within the rest of this chapter and into chapter 14 we will talk about the beast from the earth as well as the bowl judgments.

Episode 86 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 52 - Banished Forever
In the Old Testament it was prophesied that the Messiah would be born of a virgin; what town He would be born in; what tribe He would come from; how He would grow from a child to manhood; that He would make the blind to see, the dumb to speak, the deaf to hear, and the lame to walk; how and why He would die; and that He would be raised from the grave. Yet, Israel never knew or recognized Him as the Christ. Another thought, do you think we will have the power to overcome Satan during the Tribulation Period? This week on Connecting The Gap we talk about all of this and more as we work our way through chapter 12 verse by verse. We also talk about the fiery dragon with many heads, crowns, and diadems.

Episode 85 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 51 - Not Even A Burial Plot
The seven seas of the Earth will be turned into blood. Every river (and) stream will become as blood. Every basin in your home will run with hot and cold blood. This plague will produce mind-numbing thirst from which there will be no relief. The Bible talks about this and two witnesses in what seems to be a very bazaar reappearance of some prophets from old. They die and they come back to life! We discuss that this week as we continue on our trek through Revelation verse by verse in our study on Prophecies of the Bible.

Episode 84 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 50 - Eat The Book?
The Word of God is never just handed to us: it is never forced upon us. If we are to receive it’s message, we have to go over to the book shelf, table, or drawer and take it and study it. In this passage in Revelation John was told to do something that seemed to be very weird, "Eat the Book". John took the book and did as he was told. Why was he told to do that and what happened? This week on Connecting The Gap Podcast we study those verses and many more in our continuation of our study on prophecies of the Bible. We are in Revelation chapter 10 and we get started into chapter 11 this week as we go verse by verse through this book.

Episode 83 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 49 - Like Fire-Breathing Dragons
Variations of such psychology [visions, dialogues with higher beings, meditation, guided imagery, dream work, yoga, body movement, sensory awareness, energy transfer, reincarnation therapy, and esoteric studies] have infiltrated the church, Christian schools and seminaries, because pastors and other leaders have accepted the claim that it is scientific and neutral. Most Christians have failed to recognize the fact that Christianity and psychotherapy are actually rival and irreconcilable religious systems. We are now cruising into fall of 2022 and it is time for another episode of Connecting The Gap! This week we are continuing our study on Prophecies of the Bible as we go verse by verse through Revelation covering chapter 9 verse 12 through chapter 10 verse 7.

Episode 82 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 48 - An Eighth Angel?
That they were called the angels of the presence means two things. First, it means that they enjoyed a special honor. In an Oriental court it was only the most favored courtiers who had the right at all times to the presence of the king. To be a courtier or a counselor of the presence was a very special honor. Second, there was more than honor here. Although to be in the presence of the king meant special honor, even more it meant immediate readiness to be dispatched on service. It's crazy to think we are already in September! This week on Prophecies of the Bible we start digging into Revelation 8 and go through part of chapter 9.

Episode 81 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 47 - Star Wars
God’s time is not always our time, but even if we do not live to see the fulfillment of all our prayers, we can die in hope that God will bring about the things He has promised. After the saints cries, God judges the world (Rev 6:12-17); despite the arrogant fantasies of God’s enemies (Proverbs 18:11), human power will provide no refuge in that day when the true King executes justice on the entire social order from Caesar on down (Rev 6:15). It's time once again for a new episode of our podcast! Please visit our website at www.connectingthegap.net and subscribe and please share! The only way we can grow this ministry is if you help us out by sharing to your platforms and help someone else join us in learning from God's Word.

Episode 80 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 46 - A Fiery Red Horse
A nation cannot continue to borrow forever, going deeper and deeper in debt each year. Finally, they “hit the wall” and economic collapse or hyper-inflation is the only remaining option. This week on Connecting The Gap it is eerily current with the subject matter of this week's podcast. We talk about the 4 horses as the seals are broken releasing famine, pestilence, death, inflation and more. We are steadily making our way into the center of Revelation, verse by verse, as we continue our study on Prophecies of the Bible.

Episode 79 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 45 - The Root Of David
Sealing a scroll was a common and important practice in biblical times. The wills of both Emperor Vespasian and Caesar Augustus, for example, were secured with seven seals. For such a document, a scribe would procure a long roll of parchment and begin writing. After a period of writing he would stop, roll the parchment enough to cover his words, and seal the scroll at that point with wax. Then he would resume writing, stop again, roll the scroll, and add another seal. By the time he was finished, he would have sealed the scroll seven times. The scroll would be read a section at a time, after each seal was opened. This week on Connecting The Gap we are studying Revelation 5 as we continue our study on Prophecies of the Bible.

Episode 78 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 44 - 7,000 Yr Theory Of Mankind
The early Christian writer and poet Ephraem the Syrian (who lived from 306 to 373 A.D.) was a major theologian of the early Byzantine Eastern Church. Ephraem’s fascinating teaching on the Antichrist has never been published in English until now. This critically important prophecy manuscript from the fourth century of the Church era reveals a literal method of interpretation and a teaching of the pre-millennial return of Christ. More importantly, Ephraem’s text revealed a very clear statement about the pre-tribulation return of Christ to take his elect saints home to heaven to escape the coming Tribulation. This week we continue our study on Prophecies of the Bible. We go through Revelation 4 this week.

Episode 77 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 43 - God's Furnace
The Rapture is the literal, physical “snatching away” of those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ. The Rapture could come at any moment, and it will occur without warning. Every single member of the corporate body of Christ, the genuine believers, will be taken alive to meet Him in the air. Those who have suffered physical death will be resurrected with incorruptible, supernatural bodies. This week in our verse by verse study of Revelation in our study on Prophecies of the Bible, we finish up Chapter 3 and the 7 churches.

Episode 76 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 42 - The Synagogue of Satan
Today some leaders of churches and “Christian” colleges who ought to know better are doing the same sort of thing. They invite noted fortune-tellers to speak in churches and classrooms to satisfy curiosity. These occultic mediums are Trojan horses (wolves in sheep’s clothing) in the midst of God’s camp. Only evil can come from listening to their poisonous doctrines. This week we are picking up in Revelation chapter 2 verse 18 and covering verse by verse through chapter 3 verse 9 in our study on Prophecies of the Bible.

Episode 75 - Prophecies of the Bible Pt. 41 - The Spirit of Balaam
Over the past 150 years the classical definition of a cult has referred to this first category as the pseudo-Christian cults. These are religious organizations or movements that claim to be Christian and claim to believe in the Bible. But instead of building their theology and teaching on God’s Word, the Bible, they claim some “new revelation” or man-made teaching as superior to the Bible. This week we get into week two of our in-depth study of Revelation as we continue our study on Prophecies of the Bible. We are in Revelation 1.19 - 2.17. Please visit our website at www.connectingthegap.net for all of our podcasting platforms and video channels. We also have a new feature there as well. It's a bookstore where you can see good books to read and study in your journey with Christ. It is in the beginning stages and will be expanded as the years roll by!
