A View from the Bunker

BLESSED HOPE or wishful thinking?  Dr. Doug Stauffer answers more questions about the Pre-Tribulation Rapture, especially regarding the Day of Christ and the Day of the Lord, chapter 24 of the gospel of Matthew, and chapter 5 of 1 Thessalonians. Here is the article Derek mentioned comparing the Day of Christ to the Day of the Lord. Please join Derek and Sharon Gilbert Sunday mornings at 10:30 AM C...

IF AND when humanity builds an artificial superintelligence, will it be Bapticostal or Presbylutheran? Seriously, the day is coming when people of faith will have to wrestle with the concept of spiritual machines. Zoltan Istvan, author of The Transhumanist Wager and candidate for president in 2016 on the Transhumanist Party ticket, discusses his recent article, "When Superintelligent AI Arrives, W...

THE DAYS of Noah is a phrase very familiar to prophecy students. And in the context of today, the ark is a good metaphor for being ready for a day when disaster strikes without warning. Author and webcaster Mark Goodwin is the host of the Prepper Recon podcast, and someone who's devoted years to studying the economic, political, and prophetic signs of danger. He discusses his new novel The Days of...

THERE IS an old hymn with these lyrics: "When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be…" But it seems we Christians looking for the return of Jesus can't agree on when he's coming back, especially in relation to other key events of the End Times. Dr. Doug Stauffer joins us to answer questions about the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. He discusses Jesus' target audience in Matthew 24, th...

WE LIVE at a time in history when it's more dangerous to one's career to question Darwin than God. February 12 is the birthday of Charles Darwin. It is also, not coincidentally, the 4th Annual Question Evolution Day. Our guest is Cowboy Bob Sorensen, head of the Question Evolution Project, to talk about the growing movement. Here is the link to the 2004 article from The Telegraph about the study b...

CHUCK MISSLER calls the Bible an integrated message system from outside our time domain. After watching Torah Codes: End to Darkness, I wonder if Dr. Missler knows how right he is. Producer, director and host Richard Shaw describes the process of making the film, the men who research the codes hidden in the Torah, and the impact of realizing that the Creator of the universe may have encoded just a...

THE SAUDI king is dead, Yemen has fallen to Shiite rebels, Hezbollah has killed two IDF soldiers, and war rages on in Syria and Iraq. How do we begin to make sense of things in the Middle East? Attorney, journalist, and commentator Avi Davis, president of the American Freedom Alliance, joins us to discuss the rapidly changing geopolitical scene in the Mideast. Please join Derek and Sharon Gilbert...

IT MAY be one of the most emotionally charged issues the church will face in the next few years, and most of us didn't even realize it existed until very recently. The transgender movement, the "T" in LGBT (which, I have learned, is now LGBTQQIAAP), has picked up on the recent suicide of a 17-year-old boy who wanted to be a girl and made it a focal point for their cause. Walt Heyer, author of A Tr...

IMAGINE GETTING a one-on-one interview with Lucifer. Even in chains, as he will be during the thousand-year millennial reign of Jesus, the fallen “anointed cherub who covereth” is still incredibly dangerous. Author Rollin Miller discusses his fascinating new novel, Abyss. He tells us what inspired the book, how he got inside the head of the Satan, and why he believes the apostle John was inspired...

WELCOME TO the new year! Globalists, New Agers, and global warmists — but I repeat myself — have 2015 all mapped out, chock full of meetings, seminars, and festivals intended to fundamentally change the way you live. Carl Teichrib, editor of Forcing Change, joins us to share some of the more important dates on the globalists' 2015 calendar and why we should be concerned. Please join Derek and Shar...

THE GREATEST threat to your freedom is not Communism, Socialism, or Fascism. It is Technocracy. Patrick M. Wood, co-author with the late Antony C. Sutton of the groundbreaking books Trilaterals Over Washington, Volumes I and II, has written a book that should be in your personal reference library. Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation documents the development of this movem...

IT SEEMS as though the concept of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is being challenged today like never before. Joining us for this program is a recognized expert on Bible history and defense, Dr. Doug Stauffer. Doug shares the scriptural support for the Pre-Tribulation view, explains why he believes the Pre-Tribulation view is being challenged, and graciously corrects Derek when he muffs what should h...

HOW WILL you feel if you find yourself in the New Jerusalem someday, walking the streets of gold, and you turn a corner to find yourself face to face with David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam? Or the "Milwaukee Cannibal" Jeffrey Dahmer?  Or Manson Family members Susan Atkins or Charles "Tex" Watson? Is that possible? The Bible says yes. Donna Howell, co-author with Tom Horn of the new book Redeemed Unr...

AMERICAN EVANGELICAL Christians tend to be very supportive of the Jewish people in general and the state of Israel in particular. Surveys show that American evangelicals are far more likely to support Israel, and twice as likely to say that Israel was given to the Jewish people by God, than American Jews. Dr. Michael Bennett, who produced and hosted the excellent FutureQuake radio program between...

IN A time when most Christian churches don't teach prophecy in part because it's thought to be too difficult for grown-ups, our guest has published a new book about the Mark of the Beast — for children. Dr. Katherine Albrecht is an internationally known privacy researcher, consumer advocate, bestselling author, and nationally syndicated radio host. She is also the author of a children's book and c...

IT WILL probably surprise you to learn that apostles and prophets with all the power and authority of their biblical forebears walk the Earth today. Or so they would like you to believe. Holly Pivec has been studying the Apostolic-Prophetic movement, otherwise known as the New Apostolic Reformation (their term), for over twelve years, and she has co-authored a pair of books with Dr. R. Douglas Gei...

THE MATTER of Christmas has become rather contentious in recent years. It needn't be. While Jesus almost certainly was not born on December 25 (see this video by Dr. Michael Heiser making the case for September 11, 3 B.C.), Christians should not be concerned about accidentally worshiping a pagan deity if they celebrate the birth of the Messiah on Christmas Day. Here is a brief outline of the progr...

TOSS A time-traveling 10th century Viking lord into near-future America to see how he deals with the assisted suicide movement and radical Islam, and you have the basic ideas and plot behind the excellent new fantasy novel Death's Doors. Author Lars Walker joins us to discuss his fascination with Vikings, why he chose the historic 10th-century Viking Haakon Jarl as a main character, and his concer...

WE ARE told in Matthew 25 that when Jesus returns,  he will judge the nations, separating people one from another into sheep and goats according to how they have treated the "least of these, my brothers". What does that mean? When Jesus returns for the final judgment, presumably Christians will already have been taken off the Earth. So who is judged? Who are Christ's brothers? And what if Jesus ac...

CULTURES AROUND the world share similar stories of giants in their history. The Bible tells us that they walked the land promised to Abraham both before and after the Flood of Noah's day. Skeptics claim that the stories are myths and legends, scary tales invented to frighten and entertain. L.A. Marzulli, researcher, author, host of Accleration Radio, The Watchers series of DVDs and the new Watcher...

WHEN MOST of us think about witches, we imagine Glinda the Good, the Wicked Witch of the West, or maybe something somewhere in between those two extremes.  The truth is far more mundane–and at the same time far more terrifying Mary Lake joins us to discuss her book What Witches Don't Want Christians to Know: A True Story of the Occult and Mind Control, her story of confronting dark magic in the Oz...

BELIEVERS ARE promised a blessing for studying the Book of Revelation, but most churches avoid teaching prophecy. So much of what we think we know may actually be things we've absorbed from works of fiction (says the author of a work of apocalyptic fiction). Alan Kurschner, founder and director of Eschatos Ministries, host of The Biblical Prophecy Program, and author of Antichrist Before the Day o...

FIVE SHOTS by three shooters changed the course of history. On November 22, 1963, a lone gunman named Lee Harvey Oswald, we are told, assassinated President John F. Kennedy. Except that modern analysis of the forensic evidence proves that this simply wasn't possible. Dr. Jerome Corsi, senior reporter for WND.com and author of the best-sellers Who Really Killed Kennedy?, The Obama Nation, and Unfit...

THE THING about not knowing when the End of Days will come exactly is that we might be looking at the rise of the prophesied Antichrist right now without realizing it. Terry James, general editor of RaptureReady.com, joins us to discuss his new book Antichrist Chronicles: Unveiling the Rise of Earth's Final Fuhrer. Terry describes his approach to comparing items in the news against Bible prophecy...

SOMETIMES THE longest journeys we take are the ones inside our own minds. Retired psychologist and social worker Roger Brian Neill describes his journey from a small town in New Brunswick to the infamous prisons of Jamaica, and from his college days as a fire-breathing Marxist to a born-again believer in Jesus Christ. Roger shares memories from his autobiography Revolution in Mind — how he was led...
