Jesus Predicted This 40 Years Before It Happened (Matthew 24 Explained) 27.05.2026 1Std. 2Min.Most people read Matthew 24 as a future warning — nuclear war, global catastrophe, the Antichrist. But what if Jesus was talking to His disciples about events that happened within their lifetime? In this episode of the Bible Bible Bible Podcast, we walk through Matthew 24 from a partial preterist perspective, arguing that the Olivet Discourse was fulfilled in AD 70 — when Rome surrounded Jerusalem, destroyed the Temple, and not one stone was left upon another, exactly as Jesus predicted. We cover: → The context of Matthew 23 and what "desolation" actually means → What the "abomination of desolation" is (and what it isn't) → Why "end of the age" ≠ "end of the world" → Josephus and Eusebius as eyewitness confirmation → How Jonathan Edwards understood Matthew 24 → Why this view actually proves Jesus is the perfect prophet → What this means for how you read the Bible — and how you live This isn't newspaper exegesis.

Is the Kingdom of God Here Now? A Biblical Case for Postmillennialism | Bible Bible Bible Podcast 19.05.2026 56Min.Christians have been fighting about eschatology for centuries — and in this episode of the Bible Bible Bible Podcast, we're wading in.

Topics covered:What is eschatology and why it matters right nowPremillennialism — dispensational vs. historic, and what separates themAmillennialism — the spiritual kingdom and why it falls shortPostmillennialism — the minority view that isn't actually a minority view historicallyDid Jesus establish his kingdom at the first coming? (Matthew 12, Hebrews 2, Revelation 1)The mustard seed, the leaven, and the wheat & tares — what the parables actually teach"My kingdom is not of this world" — what Jesus really meantThe narrow gate objection answered (B.B. Warfield and Charles Hodge)William Carey, the Great Commission, and why postmillennialism fuels missionsWhy this view produces hope, not fear — even in a world with war, Islam, and secularismIf you've grown up in evangelical Christianity, you've probably only heard one view presented as the default.
