Why They Want You to Believe You Could Just Vanish

We sit down with Pastor Steve Wohlberg of White Horse Media to talk about the rapture deception, the Sunday law movement, and the rise of Christian nationalism in America. Along the way we trace his journey from a secular Jewish upbringing in Hollywood to writing the bestselling book The Left Behind Deception, and we dig into what Revelation 13 and 16 say about worship, spiritualism, and the mark of the beast.

The conversation opens with Pastor Steve's personal testimony, from working as a film extra in Hollywood to finding Jesus through Desire of Ages, and moves into his decades of writing on the rapture, the tribulation, and end-time prophecy. We examine 1 Thessalonians 4 against the popular "left behind" scenario, then turn to current events including Uganda's Sunday work laws, the American push for Christian nationalism, and the historical roots of church and state separation from the persecuted Baptists of colonial America to today's Religious Liberty Commission.

We close by looking at how spiritualism, alien apparitions, and Marian visions may be preparing the world for end-time deception, and why calling on the name of Jesus exposes these manifestations for what they really are.
