Description:
In episode 760: They Lied to You About the Rapture, Tony is joined in studio by Pastor Alan DiDio, whose radical encounter with Jesus launched him into a lifelong mission to understand and teach the truths of Bible prophecy. What began with a powerful dream just days after his salvation, standing in a field as a storm brews and a clock strikes 11:59, became the catalyst for a 25-year journey into the most controversial and misunderstood event in eschatology: the Rapture.
Together, Tony and Pastor Alan confront the confusion, mockery, and division surrounding the Rapture, both inside and outside the Church. They tackle biblical patterns of supernatural disappearances, the reality of glorified bodies, the parallels between Enoch and modern believers, and why the disappearance of millions will be more than a sci-fi headline, it will be a tipping point for human history. They also address the dangers of spiritual apathy, red-pilled pride, and the false security many Christians place in end-times theories rather than the Word itself.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody. Before we get to this week's show, I want to give you an update on my wife. She is battling |
| 0:04.4 | breast cancer. She has it on both sides. She has it under her arm and she has it in her neck. And because |
| 0:10.1 | she has it in her neck, the doctors needed to do an MRI on her brain this past Monday to make sure |
| 0:17.2 | it wasn't in her brain. And thankfully, the report came back that it is not in her brain. |
| 0:22.6 | So they're still considering this a localized regional thing on her body. |
| 0:26.6 | So please, guys, just continue to pray for my wife for complete healing. |
| 0:31.6 | And the reason why I'm talking so quiet is because my kids are in the next room |

| 1:13.6 | When he came over to me, |
| 1:17.6 | dude, he slithered over to me. |
| 1:24.6 | And this giant comes out of the cave and they're all frozen. |
| 1:28.3 | And he starts running and firing up this giant. Well the giant moves, he's got a spear in one hand and he's running really fast and spears |
| 1:34.3 | Dan holds him up like this. |
| 1:37.3 | Somebody else, shoot him in the face, shoot him in the face, they basically decapitated. |
| 1:42.3 | Got closer, got closer, got closer, got closer, got closer, |
| 1:46.0 | when he got about 15 yards away from me, |
| 1:49.0 | I raised that 12 gig and I blow his head off. |
