The End Time Blog Podcast

By Elizabeth Prata

Exalting the name of Jesus through Christian essays and podcasts.

I was a school teacher, a journalist/editor, now an elementary teacher's aide. After I was saved I began a writing ministry for Christian women on the topics of encouragement, Reformed theology, and discernment. Why The End Time? We're living in the end time. Time is short to share the Gospel- and grows shorter each day. I'm a member in a local, elder-led church, and I await the day I will meet my Jesus face to face. Blessings!

Episode 533: Language of God: Hail


Yesterday I started a short series on the Language of God in Natural Disasters. I explored the questions of where is God when a tsunami happens? Does God send the hurricane, or is it merely the result of the proper meteorological elements coming together?

Today I want to start looking at some specific disasters that happened in the Bible, and today we'll start with hail.

Episode 531: Wynter Wakeneth Al My Care

A brief presentation of the 1300s Middle English poem and a summary of its meaning- reflections on death as in winter the death of summer, and in life the death that comes for us all. It's not as sad as the summary makes it sound :)

Episode 521: Dudette, Where's Your Gravitas?

Episode 521: Dudette, Where's Your Gravitas?

Quite often when I publish an essay regarding false doctrine brought by a false teacher, I receive angry comments and emails telling me to 'judge not' and the like. But strangely, the angrier emails and comments I receive come when I publish an essay urging women to behave biblically. My, how so many women resent being urged to behave like biblical women! Today I speak of how women should act, especially female teachers, speakers, and podcasters.

This is a 2019 blog I've recorded now in 2023.

Links to good podcasters:


Podcast by The Thankful Homemaker: Cultivating Self-Control. Contains good thoughts on approaching Christian life and holy things with reverence, which includes self-control.

Michelle Lesley and Amy Spreeman are Christian bloggers, speakers, and teachers. They project a demeanor of joy without silliness. Both the theological content and their speaking style are, in my opinion reverent, and self-controlled. Check out their A Word Fitly Spoken podcast here.

Dr. Shelbi Cullen and Kimberly Cummings at The Women's Hope podcast also speak with a quiet, self-controlled demeanor, respecting the biblical content with proper gravitas.

Episode 520: Christmas Scriptures #3: Jesus' birth foretold to Mary

Episode 520: Christmas Scriptures #3: Jesus' birth foretold to Mary

I like this version of the Annunciation, or announcement, to Mary by Gabriel. The painting hangs in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and they explain, "Tanner created an unconventional image of the moment when the angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will bear the Son of God. Mary is shown as an adolescent dressed in rumpled Middle Eastern peasant clothing, without a halo or other holy attributes. Gabriel appears only as a shaft of light." What can we learn from that amazing and pivotal moment in history from Mary's reaction to the GOOD NEWS? Tune in as I read the scripture from Luke.

Episode 519 Christmas Scriptures #2, Micah's prophecy

Christmas is such a special time of year, I thought I'd do a short series focusing on just the scriptures related to the holiday, so we may ponder, rejoice, and think about all that it means that God Himself incarnated in order to save us from our sins.

Today let's look at Micah's prophecy.

Episode 510: Why is the Bible’s word so comforting?

Episode 510: Why is the Bible’s word so comforting?

When times are good and nothing bad is happening to us at present, we can take anything, any philosophy or biblical doctrine, and in our leisure time we discuss it and mull over every minute detail. Just check Twitter, or ‘X’. This kind of discussion is OK in the case of biblical doctrine. The Lord gives us time to examine the details. That’s good to go deep.

But when tragedy comes, ...

Episode 509: “God can use it…” Yes He can. But *will* He?

“I don’t agree with everything [insert false teacher’s name here] but there are some good things he/she says. God can use it.”

No.

Episode 507: You never know where your words will go, or who will be impacted

Wholesome words are never wasted even if they seem throwaway. God's word never returns void. It always makes its intentions sure and profitable, and this includes words in conversation. (It's why we mustn't gossip or slander, because those words have an equally negative impact as much as wholesome words have their positive effect). ...

Episode 506: Sipping wine in the place where the grape is grown

Episode 506: Sipping wine in the place where the grape is grown

In the late 1980s I was inspired by the movie Shirley Valentine, a film that depicted a middle-aged London wife unhappy with her boring husband and her dreary life. "I want to sip wine in the place where the grape is grown" Shirley had said. So she chucked her husband and her life and jetted off to sunny Greece, swam topless, had an affair, and decided to stay. I guess she liked the wine better than her husband. ...

Episode 505: How does the Bible describe Weak Women? Strong Women? Part 2

Episode 505: How does the Bible describe Weak Women? Strong Women? Part 2

In part 1, I wrote about what the Bible calls weak women, though the world insists these are in fact strong ladies. They are not. Tune in or read here to see what is really a weak woman in God's economy.


Now let's look at strong women. These women are not strong because they bucked the denominational system and broke their church's glass ceiling, elbowing the men aside in order to preach or teach. No, these women are strong because they dwell inside the strength of Jesus, content to work for His name in HIS strength and within the sphere He gave them...

Episode 503: Aimee Byrd should be in your rear view mirror by now

Episode 503: Aimee Byrd should be in your rear view mirror by now

I wrote 2 weeks ago that @aimeebyrdPYW seems to be apostatizing. You can read it here: We say Goodbye to Aimee Byrd.

More bad news confirming Aimee's drift has emerged. In her newest essay published October 10, Aimee lauds Catholic mystic Teresa of Avila. According to the Roman Catholic Church, Teresa was a bridal mystic; this is a woman who so intensely desires God she has bodily ecstatic experiences she later writes about, using language of erotic passion.

I explain what bridal mysticism is, link to some resources about Teresa of Avila, and plea for prayer for Aimee.

False doctrine doesn't only come in by sermons, or books, or music. Memes ae a huge culprit, and extra dangerous becuase they require little thought, but the mem's subtly false notion sticks in our head. Be on guard!

Episode 500: Jewels: About pearls...

In the time when this text was written, pearls were the most valuable item of all. The most precious wasn't gold, though gold was precious. Not diamonds, or other gems which are mentioned, (e.g. rubies, Prov 3:15) or silver, pearls where the most sought-after item.

Learn a bit about pearls in this episode, their symbolism in the Bible, and those pearly gates!
