Understanding the Times

Jan and co-host Eric Barger spend the entire hour with Dr. Robert Jeffress. They discuss his new book for part of the hour. It is “Perfect Ending: Why Your Eternal Future Matters Today” and can be found here. Their topics include the Millennium, the Judgment Seat of Christ, the role of the Jews in the last days, the problem with Preterism, and other general eschatology-related topics. Jeffress believes Obama’s governmental overreach is paving the way for the Antichrist. They also discuss his boldness in speaking the truth both in his pulpit and out on secular media.

Jan tackles the issue of Common Core in our public schools. One of Jan’s guests, attorney and spokesperson against Common Core, Marjorie Holsten, calls it “ObamaCore” and says it is worse than ObamaCare. It is indoctrination on steroids and is training kids to be good little global citizens. But it is ruining education. It is huge government overreach. Fifth graders will read a book suggesting Obama is a ‘messiah.’ Our Founding Fathers were supposedly racists. Conservatives are dangerous. Blatant pornography is a part of some curriculum. Then Bryan Fischer from American Family Radio joins Jan to continue the discussion. They consider a Common Core assignment that debunks the Holocaust. Much more info is given out that you need if you have kids you care about who are a victim of this system. We use the mobile app found on the Home page of www.oneplace.com.

Dr. Ron Rhodes returns for the entire hour to interact with hosts Jan Markell, Eric Barger and Jill Martin Rische. The three hosts fire Bible questions at Ron with topics that include angelology, fallen angels, end-times, Heaven and related eternity issues, and even suicide. Rhodes was the "Bible Answerman" on radio for a number of years sponsored by CRI. Find Rhodes' book, "The Big Book of Bible Answers: A Guide to Understanding the Most Challenging Questions," here.

Jan's first guest is White House correspondent Bill Koenig.  Is Vladimir Putin Gog? Could WWIII be forming thanks to Putin’s intentions? Several sound bytes are played refuting John Kerry’s accusation that Israel is an “apartheid state.” A prominent journalist states that after America’s mid-term elections, the U.S. will turn against Israel in an unprecedented way. Pastor Steven Khoury from Israel also weighs in on these issues. As a pro-Israel Arab pastor in Israel, he has paid a serious price for his position on the Jewish state.

Jan spends the hour with Anita Dittman, Holocaust survivor. She is the subject of a new WND documentary found here. They spend part of the program comparing Nazi Germany to America today and remind people that this is what happens when a nation makes government their god. Jan has produced a short companion DVD to Anita’s DVD titled “When Government Becomes God: What History Teaches Us” found here. You can order them individually or as a combo-pack found here. There are DVD trailers at those links as well. Dittman is startled at the antics of the current administration and calls them Nazi-like and cautions all to learn from history before it is too late. Jan also reminds listeners that this is a set-up for the Antichrist and the Bible’s end-time drama that must play out. If we lose sight of that, today’s headlines will become too overwhelming.

Jan airs a message given by Dr. Erwin Lutzer at “Understanding the Times Spring 2014.” He considers a nation under judgment as Israel once was. What are the comparisons to America? Are we at a point of no return? He exhorts believers to live as a minority in a pagan culture for God always promises to be with us. He emphasizes that we may lose in this world but we win in the next. Other speakers were Pastor Skip Heitzig, Eric Barger, and Holocaust survivor Anita Dittman.

Jan and her co-host, Jill Martin Rische, spend the entire hour talking to Dr. Mark Hitchcock about his new book, “101 Answers to Questions About Satan, Demons, & Spiritual Warfare.” The three discuss the wiles of the devil, why he was allowed power to rebel in Heaven, the “smear campaign” he has against Christians, his ability to work miracles, make people sick, and heal them. He deceives, destroys, discourages, demoralizes, distorts, and disheartens, but we can resist him! And his role in the last days will be overwhelming. He is engaged in a warm-up act now! They close in a discussion of UFOs and their likely demonic involvement. Find Mark’s new book here. We use the mobile app found on the Home page of www.oneplace.com.

Jan and co-host Eric Barger talk to Dr. Erwin Lutzer. Lutzer correctly points out that the Left and Islam are in sync as both seem committed to wiping out democracy and Christians. Lutzer is concerned about the America church, assuming it will look like the church in Europe that has cooperated with Islam. The three discuss the incredible “infiltration” of the church and America by outfits like The Muslim Brotherhood. But is anybody listening? Dr. Lutzer and Eric Barger are speaking at “Understanding the Times Spring 2014” Saturday, April 26 in Minneapolis, our semi-annual event. Find Lutzer’s book, “The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent” here. In the closing, Eric Barger gives reasons for faith and testifies to the boldness that a comes from “resurrection power.” We use the mobile app found on the Home page of www.oneplace.com. Though we’ve covered similar material before with Dr. Lutzer, this is new programming.

Jan’s guest for the entire hour is Pastor Skip Heitzig. The two discuss how all the signs of the times are coming together. They discuss the end-time strong delusion, the forthcoming blood moons, the coming one-world religion, the stunning departure from the faith and rise of apostasy, the Temple Mount, and much more. They also ponder Ezekiel 38-39 in light of Putin’s recent Ukraine activity. Heitzig is one of our speakers at “Understanding the Times Spring 2014” April 26. We carry his book, “You Can Understand the Book of Revelation” here. We use the mobile app found on the Home page of www.oneplace.com.

Jan and co-host Eric Barger begin by discussing his spring 2014 conference message, “Ten Reasons Why Jesus is Returning Soon.” Then they consider the U.S. give-away of the Internet and the threat to freedom that is. It will also harm the spreading of the gospel. It is a further set-up for the Antichrist kingdom. They close discussing the recent World Vision reversal on gay marriage. The organization has asked for forgiveness for its intent to hire same-sex couples, but it cannot be denied that their intent introduced a potential slippery-slope scenario into the world of churches and ministries even with the reversal.
