In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson continues the study of the kingdom of God by examining Daniel 7 and its connection to the church established in the New Testament. The discussion traces the prophetic description of the fourth kingdom—Rome—and the coming of the Son of Man who would receive everlasting dominion. By comparing these prophecies with the teachings of Jesus and the events recorded in Acts, the episode explores how the kingdom promised in Scripture was established in the first century and why the kingdom of God and the church are understood to be the same.

In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson and Larry Montgomery begin a series exploring the origin and nature of the church. Looking closely at the prophecy in Daniel 2, the discussion walks through Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the great statue and the four world empires—Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. The hosts explain how the prophecy points to a kingdom established by God during the days of the Roman Empire that would never be destroyed. By connecting these Old Testament prophecies with the New Testament record in Acts, the episode explores how the church fulfills God’s promise of an everlasting spiritual kingdom.

In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson and Larry Montgomery take a closer look at the empowering of the Holy Spirit in the early church and how it relates to the apostles’ mission. Using passages from John 14–16, Acts 2, and other New Testament texts, Mike explains how Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would guide the apostles into all truth and enable them to proclaim the gospel to the world. The discussion explores the miraculous signs given to the apostles, the spreading of the gospel beginning at Pentecost, and how the laying on of the apostles’ hands allowed others to receive temporary spiritual gifts before the written New Testament was completed. By examining these passages together and applying the principle of “necessary inference,” this episode encourages listeners to consider how the Holy Spirit worked through the apostles to reveal God’s message and establish the foundation of the church.
