Watch Tipping Point with Jimmy Evans: They Lied To You About the Rapture.
In this episode, I interview Pastor Alan Didio about his new book They Lied to You About the Rapture. We discuss the growing attacks against pre-Tribulation Rapture theology and why this hope-filled message is so important for believers. Pastor Alan shares his personal dream about the End Times and explains why the pre-Tribulation Rapture is biblical. We explore how the Rapture represents the culmination of Christ's redemptive work for our bodies, and why understanding the purpose of the Tribulation is crucial. Pastor Alan also addresses common misconceptions, including the idea that pre-Tribulation believers are more likely to take the Mark of the Beast. Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of imminence—the understanding that Jesus could return at any moment—and how this perspective transforms how we live our lives as believers.
After the interview, I address the prophecy of the popes, focusing on Pope Francis as potentially the 112th and final pope according to the 12th-century prophecy by St. Malachy. I discuss Pope Francis' recent recovery from pneumonia and his immediate statement condemning Israel upon leaving the hospital. I examine the significance of this timing in light of current world events and what it might indicate about our proximity to the End Times. In the final segment, I answer a viewer question about the importance of water baptism for salvation and being included in the Rapture. I explain that while baptism is commanded by Jesus and brings spiritual benefits through the “circumcision of Christ,” genuine believers who couldn't be baptized (like the thief on the cross) can still be saved. I clarify the difference between infant christening and biblical baptism by immersion following a personal decision for Christ.
