Our new Abomination of Desolation podcast series will provide an in-depth examination of this important end-times event by looking at the biblical terms used to describe it, historical precedents, and what may be involved.

The Two Witnesses of Revelation
Curious about the Two Witnesses but tired of shallow studies that only point out the obvious, self-promote, or rely on wild speculations or claims of secret prophetic knowledge? Try our study. In it we take a down to earth, but comprehensive and substantive look at the biblical questions and issues using an in-depth, informed, reasoned, and bible-based approach including questions like: Who are the Two Witnesses? Are they individuals or groups? Are they Gentiles or Jewish? Are they biblical figures from the past or are they from the final generation? Who are the 144,000? Who is the woman of Revelation 12? What is the chronology of the final week? Episodes of this podcast series can be found by clicking on either of the links below.
