    Revelation 19: Marriage Supper of the Lamb & the Fall of Evil’s Empire

    Revelation 19 gives us one of the most striking contrasts in Scripture—the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and the Feast of the Birds. In this conversation, we walk through Revelation 19 to explore how the Rider on the white horse judges and topples the Beast’s dominion, how the faithful are invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and how this moment prepares the stage for the final undoing of evil. We unpack: The two feasts that define Revelation 19: communion with the Lamb vs. being consumed by judgmentHow the blood-dipped robe and sword from his mouth reframe what it means for Christ to conquerThe fall of the Beast and False Prophet—and why their defeat is portrayed as effortlessWhy the “battle” barely happens (and what that says about the fragility of evil)Bride vs. Prostitute: purity as allegiance and loyalty, not moral flawlessnessHow judgment here operates as vindication and justice, not cosmic overreactionWhy Revelation 19 is a pivot point toward the final defeat of evil in Revelation 20–22⁠⁠👉🏻Watch the Episode on YouTube👈🏻⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔗Support the Podcast🔗⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📖 Books Mentioned This Episode and More📖⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💡Learn About Deeper💡

    The Economic Critique of Babylon: Revelation 18

    One of the dimensions of evil, according to the Bible, is the way the rich exploit the poor, which in turn is driven by an idolatry of wealth. Revelation 18 is one of the Bible's most sustained meditations on these realities. ⁠⁠👉🏻Watch the Episode on YouTube👈🏻⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔗Support the Podcast🔗⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📖 Books Mentioned This Episode and More📖⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💡Learn About Deeper💡

    Call Girl Babylon: The Evil that Destroys Itself (Revelation 17)

    As Revelation moves towards climactic judgment, the Roman Empire is described as a high-end call girl named "Babylon" who is delightful on the outside, yet deceitful and destructive within. In this episode we continue exploring the powerful theological symbols through which the Bible helps us understand our world. ⁠⁠👉🏻Watch the Episode on YouTube👈🏻⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔗Support the Podcast🔗⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📖 Books Mentioned This Episode and More📖⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💡Learn About Deeper💡

    Armageddon: The Symbol, the Reality, the Context

    "Armageddon" popularly refers to the destruction of the world: nukes, bioweapons, climate catastrophes, rogue Al, etc. Is that what Revelation 16:16 - the biblical verse that mentions Armageddon - really means? And how does the context of that passage square with the position of Peter Thiel, a prominent technologist who speaks often about the Antichrist vs. Armageddon? All this and more in Episode 107 of Deeper ⁠⁠👉🏻Watch the Episode on YouTube👈🏻⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔗Support the Podcast🔗⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📖 Books Mentioned This Episode and More📖⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💡Learn About Deeper💡

    What Does Revelation Say About Hell? (Revelation 14)

    The Bible is clear: those who "worship the monster" (Rev. 14:9) will share the monster's fate: destruction. Does this refer to the soul's annihilation, or eternal conscious torment? And how does the vision of judgment in Revelation 14 sit within its wider context of a call for patient endurance on the part of God's people? ⁠👉🏻Watch the Episode on YouTube👈🏻⁠⁠ ⁠⁠🔗Support the Podcast🔗⁠⁠ ⁠⁠📖 Books Mentioned This Episode and More📖⁠⁠ ⁠⁠💡Learn About Deeper💡

    666 and What The Mark of The Beast REALLY Means (Revelation 13)

    The Mark of the Beast in Revelation 13 isn’t some vague and mysterious riddle—John’s first-century readers would’ve recognized what it meant instantly. Not only that, it’s part of the larger message of Revelation that speaks as much to our world as it did to theirs. In this episode, Ryan and guest Ron Herms unpack the history, decode the symbol, and explore why this warning still hits home today. 👉🏻Watch the Episode on YouTube👈🏻⁠ ⁠🔗Support the Podcast🔗⁠ ⁠📖 Books Mentioned This Episode and More📖⁠ ⁠💡Learn About Deeper💡
