The Hour is Coming

What will happen when Christ returns? John 5:28–29 reveals the reality of the resurrection—all who are in the graves will hear His voice, some to eternal life, others to condemnation. It’s not a reign in Palestine, but the end of time. Are you ready for that hour?

This special throwback episode features the voice of Malcolm Hill, founder of Tennessee Bible College and original host of One Gospel Minute. His original radio program served as the inspiration for this podcast.

hear the voice of our Lord andshall come forth (John 5:28-29).

the dead shall come forth." Thereare not going to be two or three
