The Remnant Radio's Podcast

Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree reach the sixth bowl in their walk through Revelation, and with it the only verse in the Bible that names Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). Michael doesn’t think it describes a war between nations at Megiddo. Josh pushes back with Ezekiel 38–39, Joel 3, and Zechariah 14, and the two of them dive deep in back-and-forth dialogue.

IN THIS EPISODE:
- Why John calls it a mountain when Megiddo is flat
- What the Old Testament prophets saw, and what they couldn’t have known yet
- How “make war” gets used everywhere else in Revelation
- Who Jesus says will be safe when it comes (Revelation 16:15)

Join us for an interesting conversation exploring the Scriptures on the end times and Armageddon.

Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee, freed one man from a legion of demons, then sailed straight back (Mark 5:1-21). Why that shore?

Scott of BLK SHP Bible Talk suggests an answer, and it starts fourteen centuries earlier with Joshua. God told Joshua the conquest of Canaan wasn’t finished and said, “I myself will drive them out” (Joshua 13:6). Scott’s argument is that Jesus took that personally. Follow where he casts out demons, he says, and you’re tracing the ground Israel never cleared.

IN THIS EPISODE:
-What God says to Joshua about the unfinished conquest, and why Scott hears a promise in it
-Why “Galilee of the nations” (Isaiah 9:1) carries more weight in a Deuteronomy 32 worldview
-Capernaum, the far side of the lake, and the road toward Sidon: three exorcisms and what Scott sees connecting them
-Giants, Nephilim, and Scott’s view of where some demons come from
-The strong man of Matthew 12:29, and how Scott’s reading differs from the way John Wimber preached it
-Josh’s question: pattern or coincidence?

In Revelation 7, John hears a roll call: 144,000 from the twelve tribes of Israel. Then he turns to look and sees a crowd from every nation, too big to count. What you make of that moment says a lot about where you think Israel fits in the end times. Joshua Lewis sits down with Michael Rowntree to work through Scripture to better understand the role of Israel in the end times.

ABOUT THE EPISODE
We recorded this episode knowing the subject is tense. Antisemitism is showing up in places we never used to see it, including among professing Christians, while at the same time many believers have also been taught that loving Jesus means signing off on whatever the modern state of Israel does. So before we get to prophecy, Michael separates three things that get lumped together under one word: ethnic Israel, the nation of Israel, and God’s covenant people in Christ. He also explains his thoughts on “replacement theology” and where he stands on supersessionism.

The rest of the hour is Bible. Who are the people of God, and does Romans 9-11 promise a future for ethnic Israel? Did 1948 start a prophetic time clock? Who are the 144,000 in Revelation 7, what is the temple in Revelation 11, and who is the woman clothed with the sun in Revelation 12? Does a third temple have to be rebuilt in Jerusalem before the man of lawlessness appears (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)? And what do we do with Daniel’s seventy weeks (Daniel 9:24-27)? Michael comes at this as an amillennialist, Josh leans a different direction on the temple, and neither of us expects to make either camp happy.

In the end, we hope our discussion drives you back to the Scriptures for further exploration.

Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller are just back from the Remnant Conference, "Prophecy & Hearing God's Voice," and they brought the Q&A panel questions home with them. Real questions from real believers curious about the gift of prophecy and want it handled biblically.

So we're taking them one at a time, Word and Spirit together. If you've been carrying a question about prophecy or hearing God's voice, there's a good chance someone at the conference asked it for you.

"I don't believe in the rapture" has become a common line among Christians tired of end times hype. Michael Rowntree argues that every believer holds to a rapture of some kind. The real debate is when.

ABOUT THE EPISODE: 
We're back in our series on the book of Revelation, and this time Josh and Michael discuss the timing of the rapture, examining pre-tribulation, pre-wrath, and post-tribulation views. They look at Revelation 3:10, Revelation 4, the 144,000 in Revelation 7, and Paul's warning in 2 Thessalonians 2 about the rebellion, the man of lawlessness, and the restrainer.

They also discuss what the early church expected. Where does John Nelson Darby fit, and what should we make of Irenaeus and Pseudo-Ephraem? 

Then Josh asks the question many are too embarrassed to raise: if Jesus is coming down, why are we going up?

Join us for a biblically-grounded discussion about the Rapture.
