Send us a text

What do we do with all the mystery, symbolism, and straight-up scary parts of Revelation and “end times” talk? Jess sits down with Pastor Gabe for a practical, hope-filled Q&A covering our most common fears—from destruction and the Antichrist to judgment, the mark of the beast, loved ones who don’t believe, and even the fear of dying. If you’ve wondered, “Could I be left behind?” or “What if I’m not ready when Jesus comes back?”—this one’s for you.

In this episode:

• Why Revelation was written—and why it’s ultimately a blessing, not a horror story
• “Left behind” fears vs. the Bible’s promise of security in Christ
• What the mark of the beast really requires (and why you won’t take it by accident)
• The Antichrist’s fate (spoiler: God wins)
• Two judgments: Bema for believers (rewards, not condemnation) & Great White Throne
• Right standing vs. right living—how to be ready
• Suffering, sovereignty, and trusting God when the future feels out of control
• Hope for loved ones who don’t believe and how to love them well
• The instant hope for believers at death: absent from the body, present with the Lord
• Simple next steps to study Revelation with confidence (and with friends)
