7 Marks of a Last Day Disciple- Episode 3

This broadcast explores the essential discipline of biblical study as a primary hallmark of a "Last Days Disciple." Speaker Jeff Kinley examines Jesus’s own relationship with Scripture—from his childhood in the temple to his victory in the wilderness—to provide a framework for modern believers to deepen their spiritual intimacy and doctrinal accuracy.

The Divine Pattern: Jesus’s Relationship with Scripture
Jesus Christ established the ultimate example of biblical literacy, demonstrating that a relationship with God is inseparable from a relationship with His Word. Even at the age of twelve, Jesus was found in the temple, not merely observing, but actively listening to and questioning teachers, showcasing an intellectual and spiritual hunger that amazed those around him. This commitment to the Word was not a static phase of childhood; rather, Jesus "kept increasing in wisdom," suggesting a lifelong habit of diligent study. His mastery of the Word was most evident during his 40-day temptation in the wilderness, where he countered every satanic deception by quoting the Book of Deuteronomy. Crucially, Jesus did not treat Scripture as a "magical incantation" but as a living truth that he both understood and obeyed, proving that spiritual victory is rooted in the application of sound doctrine.

The Call to Diligence and "Cutting the Word Straight"
For the modern believer, being a student of the Word requires a transition from passive observation to active "workmanship." Referencing Paul’s instruction to Timothy, the broadcast emphasizes the need to "handle accurately" the Word of Truth—a Greek concept meaning to "cut a straight line". This metaphor highlights the danger of "crooked" belief systems and the responsibility of teachers to convey the Bible’s actual meaning rather than personal preferences. In an era of increasing spiritual deception, believers are urged to be "absorbed" in the scriptures, allowing the Word to act as a "two-edged sword" that pierces the heart and equips the individual for every good work.

True discipleship in the "last days" is defined by a rigorous and humble devotion to Scripture. By following the pattern of Christ—who knew, quoted, and obeyed the Word—believers can guard themselves against deception and grow in the genuine knowledge of God.

7 Marks of a Last Day Disciple- Episode 1

In this opening episode of "The King Is Coming," Jeff Kinley explores the urgent necessity of defining true discipleship within the context of the "last days." He argues that surviving the increasing cultural opposition to faith requires more than casual belief; it demands a radical, life-altering commitment to Jesus Christ.

The Prophetic Context and the Nature of Belief
We are currently living in what can be described as the "last of the last days," evidenced by the rapid acceleration of globalism, advanced technology, and the restoration of Israel. These signs serve as tributaries leading into the grand river of God's prophetic narrative, signaling that believers must structure their lives to maximize their influence for Christ. The first essential mark of a last-day disciple is a genuine, biblical belief in Jesus. This is not merely "mental assent" to historical facts, but is rooted in the Greek word pistis, which implies a desperate clinging or total reliance—much like a barnacle adheres to a pier. This faith results in "positional righteousness," a judicial declaration by God that we are righteous in His sight, a standing that remains unchanged even when we stumble in our daily experience.

Defining the Disciple: Learner and Follower
The New Testament uses the word "disciple" (mathetes) 275 times, whereas "Christian" appears only three times, originally as a derogatory term. At its core, being a disciple means being a "learner" who follows the Master so closely that their entire lifestyle is upended. In the first century, this meant physically following Jesus, often leaving jobs and families behind. Today, it translates to a shift in allegiance where Christ becomes the primary authority over one's life. This relationship is defined by a "positional righteousness" where we are cloaked in Christ's own righteousness, ensuring there is "no condemnation" for those who have placed their trust in Him.

Counting the Radical Cost
Jesus frequently challenged the "multitudes" who followed Him for miracles or entertainment by raising the bar of commitment. He taught that true discipleship requires a love for Him so supreme that all other relationships—even to family—look like "hate" by comparison. Furthermore, He commanded followers to "carry their own cross," a vivid symbol of death and martyrdom to the first-century audience. This radical call includes "counting the cost" and surrendering the ownership of all possessions to Him. As modern society becomes increasingly diametrically opposed to biblical values, the distinctiveness of a disciple—their "saltiness"—is found in this total allegiance, which is the only way to thrive amidst rising persecution.

The Sifting of the Multitudes
The narrative of Jesus feeding the 5,000 (likely 15,000 to 20,000 people including women and children) illustrates the difference between "consumers" and "disciples." When Jesus moved from providing physical bread to declaring Himself the "Bread of Life" and demanding total spiritual assimilation, the crowds withdrew. Only the twelve remained, with Peter acknowledging that despite the difficulty of the statement, only Jesus has the "words of eternal life." This sifting process continues today; a last-day disciple is one who, like the twelve, recognizes that belief is a total commitment of life to the finished work of Christ.

True discipleship in the last days is not a casual association but a judicial and experiential reality. By understanding our positional righteousness and embracing the radical cost of following Jesus, we move from being mere consumers of religion to becoming resilient followers who can withstand the pressures of a changing world.

Antichrist The Coming Prince Of Darkness - Episode 7

This program explores the biblical prophecies regarding the Antichrist, focusing on his origins, character, and ultimate defeat. Speaker Jeff Kinley examines scriptural evidence to debunk common misconceptions about the Antichrist's identity while emphasizing the importance of spiritual discernment in the modern age.

The Identity and Ethnicity of the Antichrist
Common speculations regarding the Antichrist’s background often suggest he will be of Jewish or Muslim descent, yet scriptural analysis provides counter-arguments for both. The theory of a Jewish Antichrist frequently relies on a specific translation of Daniel 11:37 regarding the "gods of his fathers," where the plural "Elohim" likely refers to pagan deities rather than the God of Israel. Similarly, a devout Muslim is unlikely to exalt himself above Allah or sign a peace treaty that allows the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple on Islamic holy sites. Instead, biblical evidence suggests he will be a Gentile rising from the territories of the former Roman Empire, emerging as a "little horn" from relative obscurity to fill a leadership vacuum during a future global crisis.

The Rise to Power and the Tribulation Period
The Antichrist's ascent is described as a meteoric rise to the pinnacle of the political landscape, triggered by a post-Rapture crisis. He is expected to broker a seven-year peace treaty with Israel, which he will eventually break, leading to the "time of Jacob’s trouble"—a period of unprecedented distress for the Jewish people. This era is marked by the "abomination of desolation," where the Antichrist blasphemes God and demands global worship, enforced by a mark or name on his followers.

The Devolution of the Human Heart
A survey of the Book of Revelation reveals a grim progression in human nature during the end times. Rather than turning toward God during judgments, the collective human heart appears to harden, moving from fear and hiding to active blasphemy and eventually gathering at Armageddon to wage war against the returning Christ. This "devolution" highlights the effectiveness of Satan’s deceptive schemes and the necessity of objective biblical truth to maintain discernment.

Ultimate Defeat and the Purpose of Study
The narrative concludes with the triumphant return of Jesus Christ. The Antichrist and the False Prophet are seized and cast alive into the lake of fire, marking the end of their reign and the beginning of a kingdom where righteousness dwells. For modern believers, studying these events is not merely academic; it equips them to recognize the "spirit of antichrist" currently active in the world and motivates urgent evangelism to spare others from the coming tribulation.

While the specific identity of the Antichrist remains shrouded in mystery until the post-Rapture era, the Bible provides a clear framework for his character and eventual downfall. Ultimately, history remains under God's sovereign control, and the study of prophecy serves to point believers toward the true King who is coming.
