In this program Dave underscores the fact that biblical prophecy is history written in advance. He gives the example of the prophecy in Daniel 9 that indicates that the temple would be destroyed and the Jews would be scattered throughout the world, which took place in AD 70. He explains what “Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles” means (Luke 21:24), and how it is still in effect today. He adds that the world’s solution to peace in the Middle East by dividing the land God that gave to Israel will bring about His judgment upon them (Joel 3:2).

Are you Ready for Christ's Return?
May 21, 2021 • Dave Hunt and T.A. McMahon
In this final chapter of Countdown, Dave talks about some fundamental teachings of the Word of God that tell us how we are to go about living the Christian life. He cites verses in Colossians chapter 3 that give believers in Jesus instructions, what we ought to be and what we are to do to please Him, and what believers are to put off that displease Him and bring about destruction in their lives. In addition, Dave and I discuss what a believer’s motivation and objective is to be during our temporal life, such as setting our affection on the things which are above, not on things of this earth. That affection has to be first and foremost our increasing love for Jesus, who must be the complete objective of a Christian’s life. Dave also points out what separates biblical Christianity from the other religions of the world.

Does Hope Need a Reason?
May 7, 2021 • Dave Hunt and T.A. McMahon
In this session Dave and I address the subject of hope, which the lost of this world do not have—certainly not hope in God. Instead, they have a substitute of hope in various forms such as a positive mental attitude and wishful thinking. They are centered upon feelings and have no basis in reason. Biblical hope, on the other hand, is rooted in reason. Throughout the Scriptures, God gives us reasons to place our hope in Him. They are foundational to knowing and putting our faith in Him. Dave points out that as finite beings there are many things about our infinite God that we cannot comprehend, yet we can believe in Him based upon the reasons we can comprehend.
