Today I’m joined by Steve Moutria (TorahFamily.org) for a wide-ranging conversation on End Times—with a strong focus on reading prophecy through Torah patterns, Yeshua’s warnings in Matthew 24 / Mark 13 / Luke 21, and the need to stay humble as we keep studying.We talk about what Steve considers the key “watch list” signs—Jerusalem being surrounded and the abomination of desolation—and his working framework of how events may unfold (including Ezekiel’s “40 days,” resurrection timing themes, Babylon/Antichrist, and a Sinai “bride” motif). Steve also shares thoughts on the Ark/Tabernacle theme, the two witnesses, the idea that prophecy can be cyclical, and why we need the Spirit and a life of obedience to handle the Scriptures rightly.Guest: Steve Moutria — https://torahfamily.org/Host: Alec (Water into Wine)Teachings Steve mentioned1) The Return of the Tenthttps://torahfamily.org/the-return-of-the-tent/2) What is the Idol of Jealousy?https://torahfamily.org/what-is-the-idol-of-jealousy/3) Beware of the Noahide Lawshttps://torahfamily.org/beware-of-the-noahide-laws/4) The 2nd Exodushttps://torahfamily.org/the-2nd-exodus/5) Armageddon and the Parousia (Updated and Expanded)https://torahfamily.org/armageddon-and-the-parousia-updated-and-expanded/6) Declaring the End from the Beginninghttps://torahfamily.org/declaring-the-end-from-the-beginning/7) Satan’s Little Seasonhttps://torahfamily.org/satans-little-season/8) The Abomination of Desolationhttps://torahfamily.org/the-abomination-of-desolation/9) What is the Gospel?https://torahfamily.org/what-is-the-gospel/

In this Water into Wine conversation, Alec sits down with Dr. John Schwandt (biblical languages scholar and founding president of Redemption Seminary) to explore the Wedding at Cana (John 2)—especially the puzzling line where Jesus says: “What is this to me and to you, woman? My hour has not yet come.”Dr. Schwandt walks through how this Greek idiom gets translated very differently across English versions, why it often sounds negative in English, and why the immediate context (Mary’s response) suggests an affirmative sense instead. From there, the discussion opens into John’s bigger theme of “the hour”—including the idea that, in a wedding context, the “man of the hour” is the bridegroom, and how John may be linking Cana to Jesus' ultimate “hour” in the Passion.We also touch on the symbolic connections of water, wine/blood, and Spirit as “marks of the temple,” and how these themes show up in John and 1 John.Guest resources:Redemption Seminary: https://redemption.edu/Blog/Studies: https://redemption.edu/news (also under “Resources”)

What if the story of the Bible is really the story of sacred space?From Eden to the Tabernacle, from the Temple to the Body of Messiah—Rico Cortes unpacks how the Creator has always desired to dwell among His people.In this conversation, Rico traces the Temple pattern through Scripture, showing how it reveals God’s order, holiness, and covenant relationship. He discusses the centrality of Leviticus as the blueprint for worship, the ancient Near Eastern context of sacred space, and how the priesthood and festivals reflect Yahweh’s divine hospitality. Together, we explore how the Temple is not a relic of the past but a living symbol of the Messiah’s body and of God's presence restored among His people.About Rico CortesRico Cortes is the founder of Wisdom In Torah Ministries, a teacher and researcher specializing in Temple theology, Leviticus, and ancient Near Eastern studies.
