Understanding the Times

(We are conducting "Understanding the Times 2011" and are airing programming originally played on July 16, 2011.) Part 1: Jan is host both hours and deals with John Loeffler from Steel on Steel radio. Is global debt going to be the crisis the Antichrist won't let go to waste? Probably. It is unsolvable. The two consider numerous economy-related issues now that there is a clear war against the private sector and a push for a socialized America. Today's global debt cannot even be comprehended. The ship of socialized fools in Greece and other parts of Europe is sinking and America should be taking notes. We could be next. The end-time plan of God is in motion and a one-world system and currency is on the horizon. We don't know the timing. Jan and John close considering the bright side of the dark side. This is the time when the church can shine and even replace the government in caring for some in society. Will it step up to the plate and follow through or is the church too far gone? John Loeffler from Steel on Steel radio. www.steelonsteel.com We carry John Loeffler products at www.olivetreeviews.org

Jan talks first to White House correspondent Bill Koenig and then the second half of this broadcast is prophecy scholar Dr. Mark Hitchcock.Both are speakers at Understanding the Times 2011. The world won't end in 2012, but what are some potential scenarios for the new year? More tumult, wars, and financial instability are guarantees. Jan and Bill discuss George Soros and his role in the "Arab Spring" and in all things evil. Also, the Clinton Global Initiative which is a mirror to the U.N. without the Islamic favoritism. Koenig was in New York for the Palestinian state bid and reports on those events. www.watch.orgThe second half of this program is  with Eric Barger as he guest hosts and talks with Dr. Dave Reagan, Dr. Mark Hitchcock, and Jan Markell. They are offering a response to the Harold Camping tragedy of May 21. They don't just dwell on the destruction of the Campings of the world because they also remind folks of the fact that a Rapture will happen some day. And a crown is waiting for those who long for His appearing. What can we know about this biblical event? All guests emphasize the importance of speaking and informing on this issue more than ever, even if one is marginalized for doing so. While Camping caused horrific destruction and was delusional, his followers took him seriously, showing the power of deception. www.ericbarger.com

Jan and Joel Rosenberg discuss how God is shaking the nations. Why is God doing this? Will we follow Him no matter what the journey is or where it takes us? They also talk current events including, but not limited to, Iran, Israel, pending Mid East war, and the Obama administration's abysmal handling of all things Middle East. Rosenberg is one of our speakers at Understanding the Times 2011. Find messages he gave at our Understanding the Times 2007 here. Learn more about Joel at www.joelrosenberg.com The second half of this broadcast we play one of Joel's messages from Understanding the Times 2007 where he emphasized Middle East activity, the future Gog/Magog (Ezekiel 38-39) War, and other issues related to the lateness of the hour.

Caryl Matrisciana is Jan's guest for two hours. The discussion centers around Caryl's new film, Wide is the Gate: The Emerging New Christianity. They focus on a number of movements that have tried to change the face of Christianity in the last 50 years. These include Eastern mysticism, "purpose driven," Emergent, postmodernism, New Apostolic Reformation, social gospel/social justice, "green Christianity," and more. Why do we need a new kind of Christianity when that old-time religion is fine? Find Caryl's four-hour DVD here You will also find a trailer there and two other products from Caryl. We have a special price on Wide is the Gate.For more information on all of Caryl's products, visit www.caryltv.com

Jan hosts with guests Jack Kinsella and Ed Decker. Jack was present at Glenn Beck's "Restoring Courage" event in Israel which had a hidden agenda. It was a not-so-subtle endeavor to promote Mormonism and even scam participants for money for LDS purposes. Kinsella gives a first-hand report and Ed Decker, a former Mormon, reveals some of the inside secrets of the Mormon Church. Some of the information is quite shocking. What is the "White Horse Prophecy?" Does Glenn really know what he is doing and is he really a "Christian Zionist" as some are proclaiming? Is it possible to be a "Christian Mormon?" No is the answer to that. How might Mitt Romney's Mormonism play into a presidency he might win? Find Ed Decker's book on Mormonism on our site here. To obtain the free chapter of that book from Decker, visit his Web site, www.saintsalive.com. Learn more about Kinsella at www.omegaletter.com

We air another conference message from "Understanding the Times." Dr. Ron Rhodes addresses the topic, Why Perilous Times are in Overdrive. He has six categories of end-time activity that he highlights as having intensifying birth pangs. From Israel to technology to signs in the Heaven and Earth, our world is not what it used to be! We have CD and DVD sets of recent conferences going back to 2007. Find them here. Find more info at www.ronrhodes.org

Jan hosts and talks to her guest, Jill Martin Rische, the daughter of the late Dr. Walter Martin. In this two-hour presentation, Jan and Jill cover the rise of the paranormal. They discuss the greatest influencers on the issue: The entertainment industry, all things Harry Potter, Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Mehmet Oz, mysticism in the churches, and more. They also explore the rise of Wicca and witchcraft and the fact that the "New Age" movement is now mainstream. They also consider the cult of Mormonism now that it is high-profile thanks to Glenn Beck, Mitt Romney, and various members of Congress. The Mormon Church is baptizing many into the church after their death including Dr. Walter Martin and some who perished in the Holocaust. Dr. Martin was the leading critic of the cult before his death in 1989.  www.waltermartin.com

Jan hosts with guest Jim Tetlow. The two discuss--and play clips--of his new radio drama, The Coming Global Transformation. That transformation is the Rapture. The drama centers around an unbelieving couple and their life before, during, and after the Rapture. Tetlow uses a number of tools to bring out potential scenarios that may be at play during that time period such as UFOs and apparitions. When a major war breaks out in the Middle East, apathy turns to curiosity and the couple begins a serious spiritual journey. This is an outstanding witnessing tool. We sell the CD/MP3 set here. We offer both a single disc and a quick-sleeve version which can be handed out to people at no cost. These prices vary. You can listen to the entire production online and at no cost at www.eternal-productions.org. A caution that MP3s play only on newer CD players and on most computers. Newer cars are MP3-friendly.

Jan talks to Gary Kah about the global meltdown. Progressivism and socialism are failing but the globalists are still orchestrating some of the turmoil, hoping the world will come to the brink and welcome in the one-world system. Gary and Jan discuss the downgrading of America's economy to AA+, a coming world currency, and the many issues that are leading the world into galloping globalism. What happens when America stops losing world influence and we drift towards no longer being the global leader? We have a recipe for revolution! Jan and Gary urge everyone to cling to the fact that God has this in control. Even if freedom is fading, we must trust Him. www.garykah.org Our second half of this broadcast we  share a message by Dr. David Reagan at one of our recent Understanding the Times conferences. The Christian need not fear death because of our hope beyond the grave. Our hope is partly built by the truth of Bible prophecy. But it is ignored everywhere. People cling to this world because we don't understand future events and our future Home. What is in store for us? A glorious future is promised in the Bible and Dr. Reagan gives us an overview of that. Reagan encourages us to look up and not around! You can order CDs or DVDs of many of our Understanding the Times events here.

Jan hosts interviewing Dr. Ron Rhodes on his new book, Cyber Meltdown: Bible Prophecy and the Imminent Threat of Cyberterrorism. You can bring a nation to its knees in a day through cyberterrorism, today's cheap terror threat. Rhodes paints the scenario of our perilous times. What are some of the schemes being planned today to come against nations? America is the least prepared nation today. Jan and Rhodes also discuss how all advanced technology will be used for end-time purposes. It will be the primary tool of the antichrist and likely will tie in to the "Mark of the Beast" system. Will technology display the "image of the Beast?" The information Rhodes presents is stunning in the book and interview. Go here to find the book in our store. www.ronrhodes.org The second half of this broadcast is guest Host Eric Barger and he spends an hour on Universalism which is gaining influence thanks to books like Rob Bell's Love Wins and Paul Young's The Shack.Universalism is more acceptable today thanks to end-time apostasy, shallow pulpits, Emergent Church influence, and "God is only love" feel-good theology. Eric interviews James DeYoung, good friend of Paul Young. DeYoung is author of Burning Down The Shack, and blogger John Lanagan. DeYoung confirms Paul Young's Universalism and Lanagan reports on the play based on The Shack which is likely paving the way for a movie.
