Truth is Ultimate (Part 1)

Today on "Encounter God's Truth," theology professor Dr. John Whitcomb points us to "Jesus Christ: Our Creator and Savior." Christ is the living Word—and His written Word is true from the beginning to the end! We will consider a number of Bible passages today as we survey important doctrinal truths about our Lord, from eternity past to eternity future. In the process, we will review many of the Biblical supports for the teaching of a young earth—created by Christ Himself. This message was first presented to the congregation of Valley Grace Brethren Church in Hagerstown, Maryland, where the Whitcombs' son Dr. Dan Pritchett served as lead pastor for many years. We are glad to be able to share it with you.

Welcome to a special patriotic edition of "Encounter God's Truth." You know that Dr. John Whitcomb was a Bible teacher, author and educator. But did you know that he also served in a field artillery battalion in the Army in Europe during World War II? And that his family has a rich history of military service? This week's broadcast varies from our normal format, as we are going to listen to a portion of a classic interview that Brannon Howse conducted with Dr. Whitcomb on his program, "Worldview Weekend Radio," where Dr. Whitcomb appeared regularly as a guest for six years. They held this conversation in April of 2015, after Dr. Whitcomb went to tour Washington, D.C., on the Indy Honor Flight. They discussed that memorable event, then went into some of the details that Dr. Whitcomb remembered from World War II. We are grateful for Brannon's permission to bring this unforgettable audio to you. Host Wayne Shepherd helps us see how this intimate remembrance of history causes us to learn once again that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end!

Do you believe we are living in the last days? If so, how should this affect the way we live? Bible scholar Dr. John Whitcomb answers those questions on today's edition of "Encounter God's Truth." He will explain what the final stages of the church age will look like—also showing us how we can have joy in the midst of the difficult days that may yet lie ahead before the Lord's return. God's Word is true from the beginning to the end, as we trust will be evident during this very special short series on Bible prophecy. Later, Dr. Whitcomb responds to a question from host Wayne Shepherd, who asks if there are any signs that show if the rapture is near. May God bless you as you listen to this important message.
