In this thought-provoking exploration, we examine the tension between Jesus’ apocalyptic predictions and their historical outcomes. Jesus’ apocalyptic message may not have been about an imminent return, but rather an existential call to preparedness—practical guidance for surviving in a world on edge.
This video explores one of Jesus’ most unsettling images: the human who eats the lion. Far from presenting a purely pacifist figure, Jesus warned his followers to be prepared for a world full of dangers. Thomas 7 reveals a Jesus who calls us not to be “all dove,” but to embrace and master our wild side—the part of us that fights for survival.
Many Christians expect the rapture, but the Bible’s context tells a different story. In this video, I explain why the “taken” are those unprepared—just as in the days of Noah—and why true faith means readiness, not escape.
