    Will Babylon Return in the End Times? The Zechariah series, part 12 (5:5-11)

    Today we’re going to answer one of your burning questions when it comes to Bible study: can angels be girls? OK, that’s probably not one of your burning questions. But we will address that today. The main thing we’re gonna have to talk about, though, is God’s plan for Babylon. You may say: wait, Babylon was destroyed by the Persians, like, 2,500 years ago. Babylon’s old news. God even said nobody would ever set foot in it again for forever and ever, that’s how irrelevant it is now. So how can you say that Babylon’s gonna make a comeback in the end times? Well, it’s not just me. John the Revelator said it. And the prophet Zechariah told us that, too. And you’ll be saying it after you listen today to the God and His Prophets podcast.

    The Vision of the Flying Scroll: The Zechariah series, part 11 (5:1-4)

    "You can be humbled or you can be humiliated." Zechariah has a vision that reminds us: your sins will find you out. The things we've tried to hide deep down have a way of finding their way to the surface. And it's always better to humble yourself than to need God do it for you.

    Theories: The Identities of the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11

    In Revelation 11, we read about two figures who show up near the end of the world and prophesy about God in Jerusalem. Revelation 11:3 says - "And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth." These mysterious two men are never named, and that’s resulted in 2000 years now of speculation as to their identities. They demonstrate supernatural powers, such as the ability to call down fire from heaven, bringing plagues upon the earth, and they even die and rise again- and it’s all gonna be on TikTok. The whole world is going to be clued in on what these guys are doing and saying. But who are they? Let’s study and speculate about these two superstuds of the end times - today on the God and His Prophets podcast.

    By His Spirit: The Zechariah series, part 10 (4:1-14)

    In this episode of God and His Prophets, we walk verse-by-verse through Zechariah 4, the fifth of Zechariah’s night visions. At the center of the vision stands a golden lampstand fed by two olive trees—an image packed with meaning about the Holy Spirit’s power, God’s faithfulness, and how His work is accomplished. This chapter delivers one of Scripture’s most quoted truths: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” The vision was given to Zerubbabel, the governor charged with rebuilding Jerusalem after the exile, at a time when the task felt overwhelming and progress painfully slow. God’s message is clear: the work will be finished—not through human effort or strength—but through divine empowerment. Along the way, we explore discouragement, small beginnings, perseverance, and how God supplies exactly what His servants need to complete the work He assigns.

    A Psychoanalysis of Balaam

    (This is a sermon I preached earlier this year at First Assembly of God in Carl Junction) There is so much to pick apart in Balaam’s story. There are a lot more strange things going on than just a talking donkey. For example, in the first chapter where Balaam appears, he does exactly what God says, and then it says that God wanted to kill him for it.   Some men approached Balaam and asked him to curse the Israelites for them, and here’s what it said: Numbers 22:20-22 20 And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “If the men have come to call you, rise, go with them; but only do what I tell you.” 21 So Balaam rose in the morning and saddled his donkey and went with the princes of Moab. So far so good, right? God says go. Balaam goes.  22 But God's anger was kindled because he went, and the angel of the Lord took his stand in the way as his adversary. It will even say later that this angel of the Lord was standing there to literally kill Balaam! But why- wasn’t Balaam doing exactly what God wanted? That’s the question we’re going to analyze in this message. Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcasts Need to get in touch with me?

    Joy to the World: The Zechariah series, part 9 (3:6-10)

    Joy to the World, the Lord is come, let earth receive her king. We sing those words every Christmas, but did you know those lyrics are not about when Jesus came into this world? Not the first time, anyway. That’s a song about the Second Coming of Christ- when Jesus returns to take over as King of the World, when for a thousand years He rules the world with truth and grace. We’re gonna learn about what we can expect when Jesus comes back today on the God and His Prophets podcast.

    What to Do when a Friend Drifts Away from the Faith: The Zechariah series, part 8

    How do you handle it when a Christian friend is starting to drift away from the faith? How do you navigate tricky issues like when to say something, and how forceful about it to be? And most importantly: does the Bible give us any guidance about this sticky subject? I am happy to say: YES, yes it does- in fact, the book of Zechariah is going to help get us there- and you’ll find out what it says today on the God and His Prophets podcast.

  8. The Christmas Prophecy that Isn’t in the Bible (Weird Stuff in the Bible)

    The Christmas Prophecy that Isn’t in the Bible (Weird Stuff in the Bible)

    This is an episode of the Weird Stuff in the Bible podcast, which I'm also sharing here on God and His Prophets as a follow-up to Monday's episode. What I like about Matthew’s Gospel is that he connects the Old Testament to the New. He’ll include a verse from the Old Testament and say something like, “As the prophet Jeremiah said…” or “As the prophet Isaiah said…” I appreciate that he cites his sources.  Except for that time that, well, he didn’t. And we have no idea where it came from. It’s in the Christmas story, Matthew chapter 2, where it says in Verse 23 And he [Jesus] went and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene. That all sounds fine, except: which prophet said that the Messiah would be called a Nazarene? And it wasn’t just one; Matthew said it was “spoken by the prophets” which means more than one. And yet you can scour your Old Testament and you will never find a single verse that the Christ would be called a Nazarene. In fact, you won’t find a single mention of Nazareth at all. So what prophecy is Matthew talking about? I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s NOT in the Bible.  Turn to Matthew 2, and let’s get weird.
