Current Events & Christian Expectations
The purpose of this podcast is to seek out biblical patterns of truth to understand the events of our times. We seek to answer the overarching question: How do we do the will of God in a world where current events never stay current? For Scripture says in 1 John 2:17 that “the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.” Questions and comments are welcome : eventsandexpectations@gmail.com

Good day, brothers, sisters, friends, and new faces. Today, we look at Babylon as a trans-historical symbol of corrupt culture. It is all organized apart from God (political, economic, and religious systems). And we look at its swift destruction at God’s final judgment. Tune in as we are reminded to hold heavenly hope over worldly culture.

Today we explore the symbol of Babylon the Great. What is it? Well, tune in and let's find out together as we unpack the woman on the scarlet beast, the seven heads and ten horns, and how earthly kingdoms rise and fall.
We will discuss the power that seduces governments and persecutes the faithful.

Why the Bible matters...
The apostle John begins his gospel by declaring, “In the beginning was the Word..."
Everything God does begins with His Word. Sometimes it’s a new word that aligns with His revelation in Scripture, and sometimes it is a reminder of His already established Word. But we can be sure that if God is doing something, it will begin with His Word.
It is about reading and comprehending - listening and talking about the Scripture in your own language. People who are literate in a language can not only read in that language, but they can also communicate with others. Raising up biblically literate people means we share and compare our biblical understanding with others in and outside our community of faith. We learn faster and more accurately in community.
If you are learning a new language, the ultimate marker that you are fully fluent is the ability to think and plan your life in that language. We must allow Scripture to transform our minds (Romans 12:2). Once the Bible changes our thinking so that we plan and react according to what God’s Word reveals, we will live a transformed life.
