Deep Dive: Mark of the Beast

For the next few months, I will release them for free! In this episode, we figure out what the mark of the beast is.

Separating the Old and New Testaments is a period of silence— both because God does not speak and many Bibles do not describe the 400 years between Malachi and Mathew. But "silent" does not mean "unimportant." In these 400 years, the world changes and sets the stage of the coming of the Messiah.

A Personal Relationship with Jesus

What does it mean to have a relationship with God? Answering that question can feel abstract, so we often reply with practices like reading our Bible or praying. But the truth is, there is much more to our relationship with God than spiritual disciplines. It is best summed up in a single word: covenant. Learn more about your ad choices.
