Rick references Matthew 24:1-2 to illustrate that the apostles privately asked Jesus how to discern when the end of the age is near. He emphasizes that we can also approach Jesus privately to discuss whatever troubles us in life. He interprets the coming of Jesus as the moment when the rapture begins, leading to the church being taken up and God beginning to right all wrongs and set things straight.

He explains that the world itself will not end; rather, there will be an end of an age, which was the specific inquiry of the apostles to Jesus. Rick recounts Christ's warning to take heed not to be deceived, as significant deception will occur as we approach the end of the age. He highlights many signs that will characterize this time, asserting that we are currently experiencing these predicted events. People are confused, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and they call darkness light.

Rick continues to highlight the Biblical warnings about how people will be seduced by demons, suggesting that delusions are becoming the norm in our society, perpetuated by the music industry, Hollywood, and scientific narratives. He reassures us that God has chosen us to live in these times and has anointed and prepared us for them. He encourages us to understand what the Bible teaches and to be ready for what lies ahead.

He notes how many have strayed from the Scriptures and become reprobate. He defines a reprobate mind as one that has been continuously exposed to false information until it becomes ineffective and delusional. He stresses the necessity of solid Biblical teaching, explaining that a reprobate mind can only be renewed through God's Word. He urges us to submit our minds to God's teachings until they reshape our thinking. Finally, he warns us to be cautious of the voices we encounter on social media to avoid falling into deception.
