• The End Times

    People often say the end times are coming soon or that the end times are here, but from a Biblical perspective the end times started after Jesus was resurrected. He ascended into the heavens and now all He has to do is come back. Therefore, we are in the final pages of the grand story—we…

  • What’s the Mark of the Beast?

    Is it a credit card? Your social security number? The bar code? RFID microchips? No, no, no and no. We must remember that while Revelation is partially about that which is to come, it was also very much about that which has already happened since it was a letter to seven communities 2,000 years ago,…

  • Is the Rapture Real?

    I suppose we shouldn’t even call this post a “Revelation misconception” since there isn’t really anything in Revelation about people being taken to Heaven while everyone else gets “left behind.” In fact, there’s very little in the Bible that speaks to this view and the idea doesn’t really match the Biblical narrative. Christians have always…

  • Revelation’s Antichrist Beasts

    Nero was an infamous brutal dictator that was so bad that his own senate declared him an enemy of the state and decided to have him executed, which he avoided by committing suicide. So in Revelation, John could be saying, “Nero is the second beast,” when he says the number of the beast is 666…

  • 666

    There are two major manuscripts of Revelation floating around. Some say the number of the beast is 666 while others say it’s 616.

  • New Book: God’s Grand Framework

    I just released a new book today The Bible has a huge overarching story that sometimes even long time Christians miss. In this short book, I try to connect all the elements together to help people answer some of the big questions of the faith and to understand the bigger vision as to why we’re…

  • Letting Coronavirus Show Us the Minority

    A few years back, a famous worship artist tweeted that, “God wants all your dreams to come true.” As a musician, that hit me hard, because I had spent a lot of time and energy when I was younger trying to achieve a dream like theirs. I had spent much of my life chasing after…

  • What Do We Do Now?

    So Heaven has come and Jesus has won already, but also all of this has been yet to be put fully into place on the earth. So what do we do while we wait for the fullness to come? Watch this message above or listen to it on the 1208PODCAST on the 1208GREENWOOD webpage or by subscribing to…
