The Apocalypse: The Voice of the Martyrs — Q&A

About this episode

This episode explores the concept of God's appointed number in history and the significance of martyrs in the New Testament.

When the martyrs under the altar cry out "how long?" God's answer is stunning — wait, because the number isn't complete yet. In this episode, we trace one of the most overlooked threads in the New Testament: the idea that God governs history by an appointed number, and the King won't return until every last one of his people is home.
