Episode 434 | Surviving the Tribulation | Luke 21 - Catholic Bible Prophecy
zhlédnutí 48Před dnem
Steve discusses the topic of "surviving the Tribulation" - the last seven years of human history that will be marked by intense persecution, afflictions, and martyrdom of Christians. Although many Christians believe they will escape the Tribulation, the biblical evidence, particularly from the epistles to the Thessalonians, indicates that believers will be kept in the Tribulation rather than ta...
Episode 433 | The Great Separation | Luke 21 - Catholic Bible Prophecy
zhlédnutí 84Před 14 dny
Steve Wood discusses the claim that Pope Benedict XVI was the "restrainer" mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2. While he disagrees with this view, Steve believes the New Oxford Review article which this view came from, contains valuable insights, namely that Benedict's warnings about the growing power of the Antichrist and the great separation within the Church are worth heeding. Wood notes that Ben...
Episode 432 | Trump Is Not the Restrainer | Luke 21 - Catholic Bible Prophecy
zhlédnutí 52Před 21 dnem
Who is the "restrainer" mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2? Although a respected conservative Catholic leader argued in 2020 that Donald J. Trump is the restrainer, Steve Wood argues that it is actually St. Michael the Archangel according to Revelation 20. The restrainer must have been present during the time when St. Paul was writing 2 Thessalonians, around A.D. 50. This makes it impossible for Tr...
Episode 431 | Overcoming the Antichrist | Luke 21 - Catholic Bible Prophecy
zhlédnutí 84Před měsícem
What is the key to resisting the deceptions of the Antichrist and what are the limitations of Sola Scriptura when it comes to this? Steve recounts how he discovered the significance of Church Tradition through the writings of Saint John Chrysostom, a prominent early church father. Chrysostom's teachings emphasize that the unwritten traditions of the Church hold the same authority as the written...
Episode 430 | St. Michael and Pope Leo XIII - No More Restraint | Luke 21 - Catholic Bible Prophecy
zhlédnutí 87Před měsícem
In 1884, Pope Leo XIII had a vision where he saw Satan asking God for permission to attack the Church. This ultimately led him to write the St. Michael the Archangel prayer. The prayer describes events from the book of Revelation, where Satan is released for a short time before Jesus returns. Steve shares more ‘cousin verses’ from scripture and how the intimate connection between Pope Leo XIII ...
Episode 429 | St. Michael the Restrainer | Luke 21 - Catholic Bible Prophecy
zhlédnutí 134Před měsícem
The identity of the restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2 has puzzled Christians for many centuries. There have been many ideas over the years about who the restrainer is, but none were very persuasive. This all changed for Steve after reading the work of Dr. Colin Nicholl. The key to the puzzle was the book of Daniel. Today, Steve discusses the true identity of the restrainer. Using Dr. Colin Nichol...
Episode 428 | The Parousia & The Gathering | 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 ...

“Self-deification is the satanic counterpart to theosis, leading the world to worship the Antichrist.” In today’s episode, Steve explores the concept of “theosis,” or “divinization.” He explains that the Antichrist will deceive the world by proclaiming himself to be God, taking advantage of a spiritual vacuum in modern Christianity. Stay tuned for some additional resources that Steve offers as ...
Episode 426 | Becoming Lawless Through Legalism | Luke 21 - Catholic Bible Prophecy
zhlédnutí 87Před 2 měsíci
Steve Wood discusses the dangers of legalism in the Catholic Church and Christianity. He argues that Catholics are at risk of succumbing to the temptation of the Antichrist, who is referred to as the "man of lawlessness" in Second Thessalonians. Wood suggests that this danger stems from an emphasis on legalism among Catholics. Don't forget to check out last week's episode! czcams.com/video/v5Ij...

Both Jesus and St. Paul warn of a great apostasy, a worldwide falling way from the faith, before the Second Coming of Christ. It’s difficult to comprehend just how profound, penetrating, persuasive, and powerful the worldwide apostasy will be. Steve discusses the scripture references we should turn to for teaching and encourages Christians to heed the warnings about enduring the great falling a...

I’ve enjoyed listening to this series, and I think you do a good job in your exegesis and also that you practice good hermeneutics. But I have one question for you: where in the New Testament does it say that the tribulation. Will be seven years? I’ve not found one place that says that. In fact, Jesus says that the time will be shortened because of the elect and he doesn’t say what that time is. Dispensational teaching goes to the seventh week of Daniel to get their 7 year tribulation, But none of the apostles, or Jesus referred to that passage when talking about eschatology. Have you just carried over this idea of seven years from the influence of dispensationalism?😅

Does it say what is restraining or who is restraining?

Where is assembling and parasouia in 1 Thess 1? Sure, we can agree that there are differences that are not as significant, such as how or when we are raptured or gathered, but what is most significant is who are the "we", and what is the final outcome of "we" who are gathered. Here the differences between the Catholic Catechism/Council of Trent, versus Scripture is significant. Here it is not credentials of scholar but the veracity of Scripture that is significant.
Thanks for your comments. Remember that 1 Thess refers to the “we” entering the eternal state. There are differences between Catholics and Protestants regarding the intermediate state. Yet, historic Protestantism and Catholicism have a similar understanding of the “we” entering the eternal state. - Steve
You do a great job in presenting the biblical interpretation of these verses, and dispelling the false teachings of Darby, which unfortunately many American Christians home too. By the way, I studied under Dr. Nicole when I was at Gordon Conwell.
Thanks for your kind comments Mark. When did you graduate from Gordon-Conwell? I had a great experience there. - Steve

Steve, Excellent episode as always. In a future episode, it would be helpful to offer some practical ways to rely on grace and grow in the life of grace and so overcome the temptation to legalism. Or have you already done such an episode on Faith and Family, which you could link to the show notes? God bless. In service of Christ our King, Father Carr
Fr. Carr, your request for practical ways on how to grow in grace and avoid legalism is fantastic! It’s so important. Here’s one way any homilist, teacher, catechist, or parent can properly emphasize grace. Think of a “grace burger.” Before giving a moral exhortation, first give a reminder that our obedience is a loving response to the gift of God’s grace. That’s the top bun. Then give the moral exhortation, that’s the meat of the burger. Because all of us are so prone to lean towards legalism, we follow up with a final exhortation to ask for God’s grace to enable our obedience. I’ve written a book giving a full answer to your inquiry entitled Transforming Grace: How to Rescue Young Catholics Drowning in a Secular Culture. The book awaits some simple editing and finding a publisher. Your prayers are appreciated in getting the book off my desk and into folks hands. - Steve

People have been trying to predict the end times and great apostasy since the Church began. No doubt the Church undergoes major dishevel every few hundred years. Don’t worry because odds are you and I will face our own death before anything like that happens and even if it does happen in our life time, there isn’t anything we can do about it anyway. Except, stay Catholic my friend.
St. John Paul II may disagree with your viewpoint. Have you read his warning about the "Final Confrontation" that the modern world is now facing?
@@luke21prophecy Doesn’t really matter what John Paul II says or thinks because that is still only his opinion and NOT Church dogma. I agree wickedness seems out of control, but most all generations have thought that at one time or another, yet we are still here. Meanwhile, enter the narrow gate and stay Catholic my friend.
@@luke21prophecy We are reminded over and over again by the various Marian apparitions that if we (the world) don't change our ways, then God will unleash a terrible chastisement and not even the 'faithful' will be spared. Many think this chastisement if imminent, however, there isn't much you can do about it, except make sure we pray and remain 'ever watchful'. So, stay Catholic my friend.

I grew up in this tradition in the late 60s early 70s and everyone I knew I had a Schofield Bible. But it just didn’t sit right with me. I understood what Schofield taught but when I looked at the Bible it just didn’t make sense. Later on, I went to seminary and learned Greek and Hebrew, The principles of hermeneutics, and how to do exegesis. Thankfully, the seminary. I went to, Gordon Conwell, taught us how to think not what to think and it was then that I realized that dispensationalism is probably, and I don’t mean to be harsh here, One of the biggest heresies in the Christian church. Everything that is teaches about the rapture is forced onto scripture and does not flow from scripture. It’s very sad that so many people are caught up in this false teaching. And I wonder when it doesn’t prove true if this is why many people will fall away not because the Bible proved false, but because they’re false understanding of the Bible collapsed.
Mark, I agree with you that many following Scofield may be in danger of being utterly shocked by having to face the Great Tribulation. - Steve

Preaching horrible discernment and you are a danger to anyone seeking truth. You speak dozens of lies and deception. We are in the very last of days leading to the 7 year period of JACOBS trouble spoken of in Daniel 9. You call yourself catholic so you have zero credibility with true born again believers. Christ bore ALL of Gods wrath when he was on the cross. Since we are called the body of christ and truly believe christ now lives IN US. there's no way.God would subject us to ANY of the upcoming 7 year Tribulation period. Nonsense. He said it is finished. He PAID for sins past present AND FUTURE. No need to go in a dark box and trust a pediphile to forgive your sins. He CAN NOT mediate. Neither can Mary. She is dead. We are specifically told in scripture NOT to communicate with the dead. Dont call your dead saints either. And Mary WASN'T immaculately concieved. What foolish talk. And she didnt ascend into heaven as your apostate church proclaimed she did in the 18th century. Get out of that church. Praying for your salvation.
