WAA Podcast Episode 35: Can Prophecy be Trusted? (58:44)

Harold Camping claimed that his prediction
of Judgment Day on May 21, 2011 was from the Bible
Welcome back to another podcast episode of “What’s an Adventist?”

Harold Camping recently made a prediction that the beginning of the "end of the world" would happen on May 21, 2011. His prediction garnered enough attention from the media to make it one of the most publicized “end of the world” predictions in quite some time. While Camping claimed that his prediction was straight out of the Bible, many, including Christians, were certain that this prediction would certainly bite the dust and go down in history as just another scandalous hoax. This had led many people to continue to doubt the reliability of Bible prophecy.

This week Jesse Sias sits down with WAA Contributor Pastor Tony Gonzales to talk about where Camping’s prediction went wrong and whether the Bible can truly be a reliable source of prophecy. Jesse and Pastor Tony also talk about a failed prophetic prediction in Adventist history that took place in the mid-1800’s that came to be known as the “Great Disappointment" as well as explore a number of Old Testament prophecies that came true! (click on title to hear podcast).

WAA Podcast Episode 34: Prophecy, This is Serious Stuff (61:42)

Welcome to another podcast episode of "What's an Adventist?"

“And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers…because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.” (2 Chronicles 36:15, 16)

Anyone reading this Biblical passage would see the seriousness of messing with God’s word or his prophets. At the same time one would notice that God sent his prophets because he had compassion on his people who time and time again were found rebelling against God’s covenant. This pretty much sums up the whole purpose of prophecy. Prophecy is an expression of God’s love towards a fallen humanity and a warning to the destructive effects of falling away from His will.

This week Jesse Sias and Samuel Ikonne sit down with SDA Pastor Tony Gonzales to talk about how prophecy impacted God’s people in Biblical times and the role Adventism has played in impacting modern times through the historical understanding of the books of Daniel and Revelation (click on title to listen to podcast).
