Ep. 9 is the fourth of an ongoing extended study going verse by verse through the Olivet Discourse as recorded in Matthew 24. This study is intended to be an audio version of/supplement to the written commentary “It’s Not the End of the World!” at http://www.preteristsite.com/plain/warrenend.html. This episode covers Matthew 24:4-5 concerning false christs and false prophets and demonstrates conclusively that this was fulfilled in the first century.

Please open your Bibles and follow along.

Episode Credits

The lovely rendition of “Mac Beautiful” was performed by the ever-talented Happy Slip. Here are the lyrics:

My Mac is brilliant. 12″ Powerbook
But I went to the Apple Store just to take a look
I mean I love my little G4
It’s done so good I say
But I saw the big Mac Pro and the 24 inch display

You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful it’s true
The interface is such pretty taste
And I don’t know what to do
Cause I’ll never be with you

Yes it caught my eye
and I can’t help but sigh
I could see that this processor would just fly
And I don’t think that I’ll see it again
But we shared a moment that would last til the end

You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful it’s true
The interface is such pretty taste
And I don’t know what to do
Cause I’ll never be with you
