The Mystery of the Restrainer | Voice of God with Joseph Z

<p>Join Joseph Z and Bishop Alan Didio as they explore the signs of the end times, differentiating between persecution and tribulation, and shedding light on the significance of both in the context of faith.</p> <p>Bishop Alan discusses the motivation behind his book, "They Lied to You About the Rapture." He shares a dream he had about the rapture, where he found himself being caught up into the air and suddenly realized he was going to meet Jesus. This dream occurred weeks after he was born again, following a long period of atheism. Upon waking from this dream, he felt compelled to alert others about the imminent return of Jesus. </p> <p>Learn more about Z Ministries by following the link below:<br /> https://linktr.ee/zministries </p> <p>He reveals the signs leading up to the end times and the rapture, emphasizing that deception is the primary sign, accompanied by a spirit of mockery. He points out that the day of the Lord will be characterized by darkness, warning that God's word states, "Woe to those who look forward to the return of the Lord." He encourages us to fall in love with the idea of Jesus' return, noting that there is a special crown for those who cherish His appearing.</p> <p>Bishop Alan references 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 to further explain the rapture, stressing that our greatest comfort lies in knowing that Jesus will return amidst all the darkness and despair. He will come to right all wrongs. He clarifies that persecution differs from tribulation: while we are expected to endure persecution before Christ's return, tribulation marks a time when the unrestrained wrath of God is poured out on humanity.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US">November 10, 2025</span></p>
