Jesus Return: Revelation, Mark of the Beast, and the Antichrist (Podcast 409)

b'The study of the end times can be confusing and overwhelming, but Wes and I have attempted to share some nuts and bolts on this topic.\\nLast week we shared an episode titled Are We Living in the Last Days? On Monday we shared another called: Living with Hope When the Church Says It\\u2019s Only Going to Get Worse.\\nOur intention in doing these episodes was to present another biblical perspective on the end times that many have not heard about because we have never been taught anything different.\\xa0\\nTo clarify, there are 3 basic views on end times: Premillennialism (which is what almost all of us have been taught exclusively or simply watched the "Left Behind" series) Amillennialism, and Postmillennialism.\\nPrior to about 100 years ago all three views were known to and held by the church and her theologians.\\nI think that is worth noting. This means that throughout all of church history, believers were knowledgeable about all three perspectives. Only in the last 100 years has Premillennialism been so widely embraced. I don\\u2019t know about you, but that alone gives me a reason to pause.\\xa0\\nToday we are answering questions that arose from our previous discussions by sharing the Postmillennialism perspective on Revelation, the Mark of the Beast, and the Anti-Christ. This will wrap up this three-part series on this topic.\\nResources mentioned in this episode:\\n\\xa0\\nctcmath.com\\xa0\\nThe Unhurried Homeschooler\\nUnhurried Grace for a Mom\\u2019s Heart\\nThe Four-Hour School Day\\nThe Unhurried Homeschooler Mentoring Course\\nPlaces I am speaking in 2023\\nRefresh\\xa0\\nClassical Conversations\\nThe Last Days According to Jesus-RC Sproul\\nLast Days Madness-Gary DeMar\\nVictory in Jesus-Greg Bahnsen\\nPostmillennialism Made Easy-Kenneth Gentry\\nRevelation: Four Views, A Parallel Commentary-Steve Gregg (this resource shows the historical interpretations of the text without trying to lean one way or the other.
