What if the church’s greatest moment isn’t revival but evacuation? In this episode, John talks with Bible teacher and Greek scholar Rick Renner about end-times theology. Rick explains the true meaning of the Rapture (harpazo), the identity of the "restrainer" in 2 Thessalonians, and the difference between the Church and tribulation saints.  This discussion reveals that Christ’s return should inspire purity, not fear, and calls for godly leaders who value truth over popularity. ______________________________________ FREE Show Notes Here: https://page.church.tech/20f101c3 ______________________________________ Get John’s new book, The King is Coming, here: https://www.amazon.com/King-Coming-Prepare-Return-Christ/dp/1400349672/ref= ______________________________________ Click here to start your free extended trial with LOGOS today: Logos.com/Bevere ______________________________________ Get your copy of Rick Renner's Book, "Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters and the World Before the Flood: How the Events of Noah's Ark and the Flood Are Relevant to the End of the Age", here: https://www.amazon.com/Fallen-Angels-Giants-Monsters-Before/dp/1667505874/ref= ______________________________________ Support this podcast by becoming a partner here (tax-deductible):https://3szn.short.gy/JBgive ______________________________________ To help you grow as a follower of Christ, we invite you to download our everyday discipleship app, MessengerX.
