About this episode

Pastor Mark Hitchcock discusses his book 'The Persian Storm' and its implications on Biblical prophecy and current events in Iran.

In this episode, we welcome Pastor Mark Hitchcock back to the studio. He has served as the Senior Pastor of Faith Bible Church (Kyle’s home church) in Edmond, OK for 34 years. He is also a Research Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary. In this interview, we discuss his latest book “The Persian Storm”, how the current war in Iran is fitting into Biblical prophecy, why he thinks the Rapture will take place soon and how it will work, the countries that will be involved in the wars during the End Times, why he thinks the United States and China are not named explicitly in end times prophecies, why we are seeing an increase in Anti-Semitism coming from the Left and the Right, if he thinks God intervened to save Donald Trump from an assassin’s bullet so that he could be involved in the war against Iran, whether or not Christians should be rooting for the US/Israel military alliance, how we should view the people of Iran vs. the governing authorities of Iran, how the Iranian Shiite regime’s belief in the “Twelfth Imam” affects how they approach warfare and terrorism, how Christians should act in light of Biblical prophecy and much more. Let’s get into it… Episode…
