Luke 21 - Catholic Bible Prophecy

Steve presents a comprehensive comparison between the epistles of 1 and 2 Thessalonians, arguing that they contain "cousin verses" that describe the same events related to the Second Coming of Christ and the Gathering of Believers. He points out the use of the word "parousia" in each of these epistles, using it to highlight the similarity of these passages. He emphasizes that 2 Thessalonians 2 warns of the Great Apostasy and Antichrist occurring before the Second Coming, contrary to the modern Rapture Theory. Steve also shares that 1 and 2 Thessalonians have the same author, recipients, timeframe, vocabulary, and context, emphasizing the importance of understanding the relationship between these epistles and the timing of the events they describe.

In today’s episode, we’re going to look at the role of the Holy Spirit in tribulation. In this series, we’ve shown the context that St. Paul was writing this first epistle of Thessalonians. St. Paul was writing to a brand new church full of new Christians in Thessalonica, who were experiencing persecution, affliction, and tribulation! Section 675 of the CCC states that “Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial (Great Tribulation) that will shake the faith of many believers.” How did the new Christians in Thessalonica handle tribulation? How did they stand strong in the midst of persecution? What was it that got them through? How can we apply it to the tribulation that stands ahead of the Church today? All of these questions and more will be answered in today’s episode. - - - - - - - - - - - Referenced in today’s episode: 1 & 2 Thessalonians Catechism of the Catholic Church, 675 Romans 5:3 1 Thessalonians 1:5-6 1 Peter 4:12-14 - - - - - - - - - - - Bible translations Steve recommends: 1.

For the past couple episodes, we’ve been studying the seven verses in Thessalonians where tribulation and affliction are to be expected as Christians. The question then arises – how can I develop a faith strong enough to survive such tribulation? In today’s episode, we are looking at the power of the Word of God in Thessalonica and in our daily lives. Steve will go through ways in which we can apply it to our daily lives to build up our faith amid opposition. The word of God is at work in all of us, living and active. Read, hear, and be transformed by it. - - - - - - - - - - - Referenced in today’s episode: 1 Thessalonians 1:5-6 1 Thessalonians 2:2 Acts 17:6 1 Thessalonians 2:13-14 - - - - - - - - - - - Bible translations Steve recommends: 1.

In the last episode, your host Steve Wood, went through the topic of the Great Tribulation in the books of First and Second Thessalonians. He showed the importance of looking at the entire context of a verse – rather than studying just a particular verse by itself. Steve then explored the seven verses in Thessalonians that talked about tribulation as a life situation – a context that St. Paul was writing to and how this would illuminate the teaching of tribulation in the epistle. In today’s episode, Steve continues the study of tribulation by now looking at the entire New Testament. What did St. Paul say to the other churches about tribulation? What did Jesus say about tribulation? How does St. John refer to tribulation in Revelation? Learn the answers to these questions and much more on today’s episode. - - - - - - - - - - - Referenced in today’s episode: 1 Thessalonians 3:34 Revelation 1:9 1 Thessalonians 1:6 John 16:33 Matthew 13:20-21 Catechism of the Catholic Church, 675 Acts 14:22 Romans 8:13 - - - - - - - - - - - Bible translations Steve recommends: 1.

There’s a little saying that goes, “a text without a context, is just a pretext.” What does this have to do with studying biblical prophecy? In today’s episode, your host Steve Wood will explain the importance of studying a particular verse in the Bible while also looking at it’s entire context. You take away the context – you lose the meaning. While continuing our study of St. Paul’s Epistle to the Thessalonians, Steve will investigate the concept of the Great Tribulation while studying Thessalonians 4:17 in it’s entire context. One of the biggest debates in the study of Thessalonians and biblical prophecy is the question – Will Christians go through what is called the Great Tribulation, or will they somehow be taken off the scene (through the Rapture) and not go through the Great Tribulation? You will learn the answer in today’s episode. - - - - - - - - - - - Referenced in today’s episode: 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 Matthew 24:21 1 Thessalonians 1:6 1 Thessalonians 3:7 2 Thessalonians 1:4-7 Acts 16 - - - - - - - - - - - Bible translations Steve recommends: 1.

If we are being honest, the world seems to be turning the church upside down more than the church is turning the world upside down, regardless of which church you attend. We’re not really winning the cultural wars or the war for the hearts, minds and souls of men, women, and particularly young people. We must ask ourselves – is something missing in how we present, believe, and live the Gospel? Could we start turning the world upside down, thereby making it upright again? This is the kingdom reality. This is why we study prophecy. It’s not to get a crystal ball timeline of what’s going to happen – instead, this is the critical stuff. This is the power of the Gospel to change a pagan world into a Christian world. It turns the world right side up again by proclaiming the Gospel message that Jesus Christ is King of the world. One of the most critical questions regarding biblical prophecy is this – when is the kingdom reign of Jesus? – When does it begin? When is it? The answer can get more complicated but to keep it simple, there’s two answers – either future or present. In other words, is the kingdom reign of Jesus a future reality or a present reality? Over the course of our studies we are going to be looking at how to answer that through several different Scriptures, particularly as we go through the book of Revelation. But for today, one way to answer that question is to dig in to what the word “gospel” means. Today, we will continue to study 1 Thessalonians by looking into the prophetic gospel of the kingdom and its importance to setting the world upright again. - - - - - - - - - - - Referenced in today’s episode: 1 Thessalonians Isaiah 2:7 The Navarre Bible commentaries - - - - - - - - - - - Bible translations Steve recommends: 1.
