    God At War 6: The Promised Land – You Are God's Temple

    What if the Promised Land isn’t just ancient history—but a blueprint for your life as God’s dwelling place on earth? In this episode of the End-Time Disciples Podcast, Major Tom, Vickie, and Pastor Ryan Perry explore how God’s story moves through four “gardens”—Eden, Egypt, the Wilderness, and the Promised Land—and how that final stage reveals your identity as a living temple and royal priest in God’s kingdom. TOPICS - How the Promised Land is the climax of the Torah’s storyline, echoing Eden as a guarded, sacred space - Why boundaries, Sabbath rest, and agricultural cycles (including Jubilee) were designed to form a renewed, God-reliant humanity - The difference between appearance-based holiness and true holiness of character - What it means to carry God’s presence into your home, workplace, church, and community - How believers today function as a kingdom of priests—ambassadors who bring God’s kingdom into the midst of a broken world - Why the church must stop ‘huddling’ and instead advance confidently against the “gates of hell ”If you’ve ever wondered how the Old Testament land promises connect to Jesus, the New Jerusalem, and your daily discipleship, this episode will help you see the Bible’s story—and your role in it—with fresh eyes. 📖 Key Scriptures discussed include: Genesis 1–3; Deuteronomy 28; Exodus, Leviticus & the feast cycles; Daniel 2; Ezekiel’s visions of God’s glory; the Gospels (especially the temple and Mount of Olives); Matthew 28; Acts 1; and New Testament passages on believers as God’s temple and royal priesthood. 📚 Free End-Time Novel: You can get Book 1 of my Positive Apocalypse Trilogy – Birth Pangs of the End Times – as a free ebook wherever books are sold. 🔔 Subscribe for more Bible-centered conversations on discipleship, prophecy, and learning to stand firm in the last days. #BibleProphecy #EndTimes #Revelation #PromisedLand #TempleOfGod #ChristianPodcast #Discipleship This is a public episode.

    God at War 5: The Wilderness – God’s Training Ground for Sons & Daughters

    The Wilderness of Dependence In this episode of God at War – Humanity Caught in the Crossfire, we move into the third “garden” in God’s redemptive pattern: Eden → Egypt → The Wilderness → The Promised Land * In Eden, God provided everything. * In Egypt, His people toiled for Pharaoh’s handouts. * But in the Wilderness, God began to undo that Egyptian mindset and form a people who trust Him again. The wilderness is not a punishment—it’s a training ground. It’s where God brings His people to the end of their own resources so they can finally learn to live by His Word, His Spirit, and His daily provision. In this conversation, Pastor Ryan, Vicki, and Tom talk about: * Why God led Israel into the wilderness instead of straight into the Promised Land * What “wilderness” actually means in the Bible (and why it’s not just a desert) * How manna trained Israel to trust God for daily bread instead of hoarding * How Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness replay—and redeem—Israel’s failures * Why fear of the Lord is about rightful reverence, not paralyzing terror * How God still uses wilderness seasons today to move us from worldly slaves to godly sons and daughters * What it means for the church to become a royal priesthood who serves and guards God’s “garden” in this age ⏱ Chapters These are the main sections in this podcast: * 00:03 – Intro – The four “gardens” of redemption * 01:11 – Why did God lead Israel into the wilderness? * 03:55 – The wilderness as God’s training ground * 09:42 – Manna and daily bread: learning to trust God, not Pharaoh * 16:14 – Jesus’ wilderness test: why temptation comes when we’re weak * 20:12 – Wilderness as divine formation, not punishment * 31:14 – The virgins, urgency, and consequences of delay * 35:22 – Real-life examples of daily dependence (Mueller, Hudson Taylor, etc.) * 39:13 – Wilderness as spiritual “boot camp” for God’s army * 47:33 – How Jesus fulfills Israel’s wilderness test * 51:15 – Jesus’ victory and the restored royal priesthood * 54:23 – Living in the world but not of it—Daniel’s model * 01:13:39 – Outro: The wilderness was never a punishment Scripture Threads to Meditate On Some passages we allude to in this episode: * Exodus 15–17; Numbers 13–14 – Israel’s wilderness testing * Deuteronomy 8 – “He humbled you… that He might make you know…” * Matthew 4 / Luke 4 – Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness * Matthew 6:9–13 – “Give us this day our daily bread” * 1 Corinthians 3 – Building with materials that survive the fire * Hebrews 3–4 – Rest, hardening of heart, and obedience * 1 Peter 2:9 – “A royal priesthood” * Revelation 1:6 – “Kings and priests unto God” Why This Matters for End-Time Disciples If God is preparing a faithful remnant at the end of the age, wilderness training is not optional. Learn how He: * Breaks our dependence on worldly systems * Teaches us to hear and obey His voice * Trains us to live as royal priests who guard and keep His presence * Forms disciples who can stand when everything else is shaking The wilderness is where God turns Egypt’s slaves into godly sons and daughters fit to enter the Promised Land. If You Want to Go Deeper See these principles brought to life in the story—listen to the latest episode of the Positive Apocalypse at ThomasNoss.com If you haven’t read my Positive Apocalypse trilogy yet, Book 1 – Birth Pangs of the End Times dramatizes this same pattern in an end-time setting. It’s available as a free ebook for those who want to see how these themes play out in a modern apocalyptic story that’s rooted in Scripture. The same God who led Israel through the wilderness is preparing His disciples for the days ahead.

    God at War 4: Egypt as the Anti-Eden

    Egypt as the Anti-Eden — what does that mean? In this episode of God at War, we explore how the Bible reveals a divine pattern of four “gardens”: * Eden * Egypt * The Wilderness * The Promised Land. Each garden reveals a stage in God’s plan to restore relationship with His people.Egypt stands as the Anti-Eden — a world built on toil, fear, and control. In Eden, God provided freely; but, in Egypt, Israel labored under Pharaoh’s rule, serving a false image of god. Through this discussion, we uncover how: * Pharaoh’s Egypt inverted God’s original order * Humanity turned divine service into slavery * Joseph’s grain economy foreshadowed our modern debt systems * True freedom begins when we serve God, not the world Israel’s Exodus from Egypt represents both judgment and re-creation — God undoing Egypt’s curse to start again in the wildernessJoin us as we open the Word and discover what it means to “come out of Egypt” — spiritually, economically, and relationally — to walk again with God in His living presence.

    God at War 3: Guarding and Keeping the Kingdom of God

    Before Noah’s Flood, angelic “sons of God” took human wives, and their offspring—the giant Nephilim—filled the world with violence. After the Flood, Nimrod united humanity in rebellion at Babel, trying to build a kingdom without God. In this episode of End-Time Disciples, we explore: - The origin and meaning of the giants (Genesis 6) - How the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) mirrors modern human pride - The divine council and 70 nations of Deuteronomy 32 - What it truly means to guard and keep God’s creation today - We also uncover how disciples are called to be image-bearers—representatives of Christ’s authority—living by faith in His supply, not in the world’s. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro — The Giants and Babel: Humanity’s Rebellion 01:00 Genesis 6 — Sons of God and Daughters of Men 05:00 Nephilim and the Roots of Ancient Mythology 09:00 Noah: Perfect and Walking with God 13:00 Cain and Abel — Trusting God’s Supply 20:00 Sin as Unbelief vs. Obedience of Faith 26:00 The Flood and Corruption of Flesh 30:00 Genesis 11 — The Tower of Babel 35:00 God’s Response and the 70 Nations 40:00 The Divine Council and Spiritual Powers 45:00 Babel, the Antichrist, and End-Time Unity 50:00 Guarding and Keeping God’s Garden Today 55:00 Work as Worship — Serving God’s Kingdom 59:00 Image-Bearers and the Shema 1:03:00 Loving God with Heart, Soul, and Might 1:06:00 Call to Action — Which Kingdom Are You Serving? #BibleProphecy #EndTimes #Genesis6 #TowerOfBabel #Nephilim #SpiritualWarfare #EndTimeDisciples #Revelation #KingdomOfGod #GuardAndKeep #ImageBearers #Faith #BibleStudy This is a public episode.

    God at War 2: Eden Restored

    What if the Garden of Eden wasn’t just humanity’s beginning — but God’s original temple? God reveals a redemptive pattern that runs throughout Scripture: * Eden * Egypt * The Wilderness * The Promised Land This pattern becomes a spiritual map for every believer—showing how God leads us out of sin, through refining, and into restored fellowship. In this 2nd episode of God at War: Humanity Caught in the Crossfire, Major Tom, Vickie, and Pastor Ryan Perry explore how Adam and Eve’s calling to “serve and guard” the Garden reveals our true identity as priests of God’s presence. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction — “If you believe in Me, you will never die.” 00:35 God’s original plan in Eden 02:00 Eden and Paradise — same word, same promise 04:15 The river of life flowing from God’s presence 06:30 The Tree of Life and participation in God’s life 08:45 The Tree of Knowledge — choosing self over God 10:30 The serpent (Nahash) and the first deception 12:30 Humanity’s priestly calling: to serve and guard 14:45 Hebrew meaning of ‘Abad’ (serve) and ‘Shemar’ (guard) 17:15 The cherubim and the guarded way to life 19:30 “Choose life” — the echo of Eden through Scripture 21:30 Evil before humanity — the fallen beings 24:00 Love, freedom, and the risk of rebellion 26:00 Heaven vs. Hell — presence or separation 28:00 Our vocation restored through Christ 30:00 Every believer as God’s temple and living Eden 32:30 Priesthood vs. morality — bearing God’s image 35:00 The upside-down kingdom — Pharaoh vs. Yahweh 37:15 Jesus, the Second Adam, and the free gift of life 39:00 The torn veil — the way reopened 41:00 The Tree of Life and the Cross 43:00 Restored dominion — walking in faith and identity 45:00 Renewing the mind — living as kings and priests 47:00 Returning to Eden — restored relationship with God 48:45 Closing reflections 🎯 Discover How: 🌿 Eden and Paradise are the same place — the dwelling of God among His people. 🔥 “Serve and guard” (abad and shamar) describe the Levitical priesthood, not gardening chores.🕊️ Humanity’s vocation was lost through deception — and restored through Jesus, the Tree of Life. 💧 The river of life flows from God’s presence in both Genesis and Revelation, connecting the first creation to the New Jerusalem. ✝️ When the veil tore, the cherubim stepped aside — and paradise reopened for all who believe. This conversation connects Genesis to Revelation, showing that God’s first plan is still His final one — to dwell with His people forever. If you’ve ever wondered what your purpose really is, this episode reveals why your true calling is to walk as a king and priest in God’s presence. 🔔 Subscribe at End-Time-Disciples.com for future episodes and resources. 📖 Learn more at ThomasNoss.com📚 Book 1 of the Positive Apocalypse Trilogy — Birth Pangs of the End Times — is FREE at Books2Read.com/Birth-Pangs #GodAtWar #BibleStudy #GardenOfEden #TreeOfLife #JesusChrist #Revelation #EndTimes #PriestsOfGod #BiblicalTruth #ChristianPodcast This is a public episode.

    God at War 1: Humanity Caught in the Crossfire

    In this episode we’re starting a new series, focusing on the war between God and the rebellious spiritual powers—these are ‘the gods’ of the Hebrew Bible, and the ‘principalities and powers’ of the New Testament. In future episodes we’ll explore these entities, and our critical role in defeating them, in much greater detail. ▶️ Watch the Episode (Video) Click in the image above. 🎧 Listen to the Audio Prefer audio-only? Click the player below, or find us in your favorite podcast app (Apple, Spotify, Google, etc.). 📖 Season 2, Episode 1 Description From the very first pages of Genesis, the Bible reveals that humanity has never lived in neutral territory. We are participants—not bystanders—in a cosmic war between God and rebellious spiritual powers. In this opening episode of our new series, we return to the first battlefield: the Garden of Eden. * Who—or what—was the nahash that whispered to Eve? * How did deception and slander against God open the door to sin and death? * Why does Genesis 3:15 matter for the entire biblical story? * How did the war escalate in Genesis 6 with the Nephilim and attempts to corrupt the seed of the woman? * What did God do in response—through the Flood, Babel, and the division of nations under the divine council? Along the way, we explore passages many Christians rarely hear taught: Genesis 3, 6, and 11; Deuteronomy 32; Psalm 82; Job 1–2; and Daniel 10. These texts reveal the unseen conflict behind world history—and what it means for us today. 📖 Key Themes: * Humanity’s role in the spiritual war * The adversary’s strategies of slander and corruption * God’s judgment and redemption plan through the promised seed * The divine council and God’s ultimate victory through Christ ➡️ Episode 2 Preview: We’ll focus on Daniel 10 and look at the “princes” over the nations, pulling back the curtain on spiritual forces that still shape world events today. ⏱️ Episode 1 Chapters 0:00 Intro – New series launch 0:39 The First Battlefield: Eden (Genesis 3) 1:33 The Serpent (Nachash) 7:06 The Curse: Toil & Birth Pangs 9:12 The Protoevangelium – Promise of the Seed (Gen 3:15) 10:45 Sons of God & the Nephilim (Genesis 6) 16:24 God’s Response: The Flood 21:07 The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) 27:15 The Divine Council (Deut 32; Psalm 82) 29:21 Spiritual Rebellion & Judgment 33:56 Christ the Victor — Inheriting all the nations 35:16 Preview — Daniel 10 & the Prince of Persia 38:38 Job & the Heavenly Court 41:29 Outro / Subscribe 📩 Stay Connected * Subscribe for free updates at EndTimeDisciples.com * Share this post with someone hungry for God’s Word * Pray with us that disciples around the world will stand in faith in the last days #EndTimes #SpiritualWarfare #DivineCouncil #Nephilim #BibleProphecy This is a public episode.
