The Spirit of Antichrist & Global Technocracy | Dr. J.B. Hickson
In this episode of Tip of the Spear, Pastor Brandon interviews Dr. J.B. Hickson, founder of Not By Works Ministries and author of the Spirit of the Antichrist book series. They discuss biblical prophecy, the rise of global technocracy, deception in the modern world, and how these developments align with Scripture.
Dr. Hickson explains how cultural shifts, technological control systems, and growing apostasy within the church may be preparing the stage for the Antichrist system described in the Bible. The conversation also addresses conspiracy theories, global governance, the influence of technocrats, and how believers should remain grounded in the Word of God while watching the signs of the times.
Most importantly, the message points to the ultimate hope for believers in Jesus Christ and encourages Christians to stay spiritually prepared, biblically grounded, and watchful as the world moves closer to the events foretold in prophecy.

Dead Sea Scrolls | Dr. Ken Johnson Reveals What the Early Church Believed
What did the earliest Christians really believe about the rapture, the millennium, and the restoration of Israel?
In this episode of Tip of the Spear, Dr. Ken Johnson joins us to explore what the Dead Sea Scrolls and the early church fathers reveal about Bible prophecy.
Were the earliest believers pre-tribulational and pre-millennial?
Did ancient Jewish writings predict the Messiah’s first and second coming with astonishing accuracy?
In this conversation we discuss:
• The Antenicene Fathers and early eschatology
• The Didache and early references to the rapture
• The Schism of Nepos and the theological shift in the 4th century
• The Essenes and their prophetic worldview
• The Dead Sea Scroll calendar and a 7,000 year timeline
• Israel’s rebirth in 1948 in light of prophecy
• The possibility of a final Jubilee period
• Why much of the modern church ignores biblical prophecy
Dr. Johnson has devoted decades to studying early Christian writings, ancient Jewish texts, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. His research challenges modern assumptions and calls believers back to a serious engagement with prophecy.
If Bible prophecy strengthens your faith rather than scares you, this episode is for you.
When you see these things begin to happen, look up. Your redemption draws near.

The State of the Church in Australia | A Remnant Pastor Speaks
In this powerful interview from Australia, Pastor Marc Wheway speaks candidly about the true spiritual condition of the modern church and the climate facing believers today.
Pastor Marc addresses the rise of lukewarm Christianity, prosperity-driven teaching, entertainment-focused church models, and the increasing pressure against biblical truth. He contrasts popular church growth strategies with faithful, verse-by-verse expository preaching that emphasizes holiness, endurance, accountability, and readiness for Christ’s return.
This conversation covers:
• The lukewarm spiritual condition of the church
• Health, wealth, and happiness theology
• Entertainment-based church models
• Expository preaching versus topical cherry-picking
• The Seven Mountain Mandate and its dangers
• Replacement theology and Israel
• Why remnant churches remain small but faithful
• Discipleship over numbers, spectacle, and celebrity culture
• Preparing believers for difficult days ahead
Pastor Marc explains his church model centered on Scripture, fellowship, accountability, and genuine discipleship rather than size, money, or platform influence. This interview will resonate with believers who feel displaced by modern church culture and are seeking depth, truth, and faithfulness.
Jesus warned that when these things begin to happen, believers are to look up and be ready. This message is a call to stand firm, remain grounded in God’s Word, and walk the narrow path in an age of compromise.

The Rapture Is Under Attack… Here’s Why | Dr. Paul Wilkinson
Brandon Holthaus views
In this powerful Tip of the Spear interview, Pastor Brandon Holthaus sits down with theologian and author Dr. Paul Wilkinson to unpack one of the most attacked doctrines in Christianity today—the Rapture.
Why is the “blessed hope” being questioned, mocked, and dismissed even within the church?
Dr. Wilkinson explains:
• Why the Rapture is under intense attack right now
• The clear biblical difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming
• How false theology and inconsistent interpretation have distorted end-times doctrine
• Why imminency matters for every believer’s life and spiritual readiness
• The deeper issue behind the attacks on Israel, dispensationalism, and prophecy
This conversation brings clarity, conviction, and encouragement as we navigate these last days.
As Scripture reminds us:
“When you see these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” (Luke 21:28)
