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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br />Become a member for <strong>ad-free</strong> <strong>listening</strong>, <strong>extra shows</strong>, and <strong>exclusive</strong> access to our <strong>social media app</strong>: <a href="https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join">theconfessionalspodcast.com/join</a><br /><br /><strong>The Confessionals Social Network App:</strong><br /><strong>Apple Store:</strong> <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-confessionals/id1666683243">https://apple.co/3UxhPrh</a><br /><strong>Google Play:</strong> <a href="https://play.google.com/store/search?q=the+confessionals&amp;c=apps&amp;pli=1">https://bit.ly/43mk8kZ</a><br /><br /><strong>My New YouTube Channel</strong><br /><strong>Merkel IRL:</strong> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@merkelIRL">@merkelIRL</a><br /><strong>My First Sermon: </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r6jDWvlyuw&amp;t=1160s">Unseen Battles</a><br /><br /><strong>Sasquatch and The Missing Man:</strong> <a href="https://merkelfilms.com/">merkelfilms.com</a><br /><strong>Merkel Media Apparel:</strong> <a href="https://merkmerch.com/">merkmerch.com</a><em><br /><br /></em><strong>SPONSORS</strong><br /><strong>SIMPLISAFE TODAY:</strong> <a href="https://simplisafe.com/confessionals">simplisafe.com/confessionals</a><br /><strong>GHOSTBED: </strong><a href="https://www.ghostbed.com/pages/tony?utm_medium=influencer&amp;utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=tony">GhostBed.com/tony</a><br /><br /><strong>Alan DiDio</strong><br /><a href="https://encountertoday.com/">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@EncounterTodayTV">YouTube</a> | <a href="https://www.amazon.com/They-Lied-You-About-Rapture-ebook/dp/B0DH7KBPQX">New Book</a><br /><br /><strong>CONNECT WITH US</strong><br /><strong>Website</strong>: <a href="http://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/">www.theconfessionalspodcast.com</a><br /><strong>Email</strong>: contact@theconfessionalspodcast.com<br /><br /><strong>MAILING ADDRESS:</strong><br />Merkel Media<br />257 N.
