In Episode 39 we discuss Biblical Prophecy with special guest, Jessica Speas. She shares her testimony, how she began eschatology, and the importance of using discernment during these times.

In This Episode on Biblical Prophecy: Using Discernment in a Time of Deception:

• Jessica shares her backstory.
• Jessica began to study eschatology and decided to put together a timeline of these prophetic events.
• Looking forward to Jesus coming (and realizing it’s so close) lit a fire in Jessica.
• The Lord is waking people up. There are watchmen on the wall calling out: this is coming. We need to be spiritually ready.
• In Matthew 24 it talks about birth pains and the signs being birth pains. What’s interesting is that in our world now, they have literally been trying to change or numb all of the natural aspects of birth. Each generation is losing what the context “birth pains” actually means.
• Why should mothers use discernment when it comes to Disney?
• Making the change was hard. But in the moments of the hard she realized just how much of a deception it was.
• Another example of how children are conditioned through what they watch is with The Little Mermaid.
• Television is a very new idea. For 6,000 years it was not a thing. In the past 100 years it has become more and more popular.
  • In Daniel 12:3-4 it says, “Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”
  • Nowhere in history has knowledge abounded like the past 100 years. From cell phones to pagers to computers, technology and knowledge has become unstoppable. 
• It’s important as Christians that we use discernment.
