N.T. Wright Didn’t Destroy the Rapture
In this video, Pastor Brandon Holthaus responds to claims that the rapture was “destroyed” by N. T. Wright or the Blurry Creatures podcast. It wasn’t.
No biblical refutation was offered. No systematic exegesis was done. What occurred was dismissal by presupposition, not argument.
This teaching shows that the rapture is rooted in a consistent reading of Scripture, not American culture or escapism. It explains why the rapture is distinct from the Second Coming, preserves biblical imminence, and cannot be collapsed into a single end-times event without creating contradictions in Jesus’ “thief in the night” teaching.
The video also addresses the misuse of the Greek word apantēsis (uh-pan-TAY-sis), showing that it does not require believers to meet Christ only to escort Him immediately back to earth. The passage emphasizes reunion and permanent presence with Christ, not a symbolic Roman procession.
Finally, the lesson explains why N. T. Wright rejects the rapture by examining deeper theological issues in his system, including his view of Scripture, the gospel, justification, Israel, and biblical covenants.
The conclusion is simple: the rapture wasn’t destroyed. It was dismissed—and dismissal is not refutation.

The Mountains of God: From Eden to the New Jerusalem
From Genesis to Revelation, mountains are where God reveals Himself, establishes His authority, judges rebellion, and restores what was lost.
In this in-depth biblical teaching, we trace the theme of the Mountains of God—from the heavenly throne room described in Ezekiel, to Eden, Sinai, Moriah, Zion, and ultimately the New Jerusalem. Scripture reveals that mountains are not merely geographic locations, but theological signals representing God’s throne, kingdom, covenant, and rule.
This message explores:
• Why God consistently reveals Himself on mountains
• Why Satan fell from the mountain of God
• Why Eden was more than a garden—it was a mountain sanctuary
• How Babel functioned as a counterfeit mountain
• Why major biblical revelations occur on mountains
• Why Mount Zion is the center of the Messianic Kingdom
• How Christ will reign from Zion forever
• Why the Bible ends where it began—with the Mountain of God descending to earth
The battle of the ages is ultimately about authority—God’s mountain versus the mountains of rebellion. Scripture assures us that all rival mountains will be cast down, Christ will reign from Zion, and those who belong to Him will rule and reign with Him.
This is not speculation. This is the biblical storyline from Eden to eternity.
📖 Key passages include:
Genesis 1–2, Genesis 11, Exodus 19–20, Ezekiel 28, Psalm 2, Psalm 48, Psalm 68, Isaiah 2, Micah 4, Matthew 17, Revelation 11, Revelation 21–22
A Framework for Biblical Interpretation
Scripture is often misapplied not because people reject the Bible, but because they apply commands meant for one category of life to an entirely different category.
In this teaching, we lay out a clear framework for biblical interpretation that helps distinguish between personal ethics, societal responsibility, cultural formation, civilizational wisdom, and ecclesiastical authority.
By understanding the category a passage belongs to, we can avoid flattening Scripture, misusing compassion to undermine justice, or applying personal commands to public institutions.
This framework helps keep interpretation grounded, contextual, and faithful to authorial intent.
Topics covered include:
• Interpersonal commands and personal ethics
• Societal responsibility, justice, and order
• Cultural values and moral formation
• Civilizational worldview and national responsibility
• Ecclesiastical doctrine and church authority
Faithful interpretation requires more than quoting Scripture. It requires understanding how and where it applies.
Scripture does not contradict itself, but it does distinguish.
Disarmed: What Demons Can’t Do to Believers | The Edge
Brandon Holthaus views
Can believers be possessed? No. But can they be attacked, tempted, oppressed, and influenced by demonic forces? The Bible says yes — and most Christians don't know the difference.
In this teaching, Brandon Holthaus walks through 7 biblical categories of demonic activity against believers — from temptation and vexation to territorial spirits, suppression, and oppression — and lands on the one verse that changes everything: Colossians 2:15. Christ has already disarmed them. Noise does not equal dominance.
