What Did Jesus Say About...The End Times pt 2

Published on: 26th January, 2026

Last time, we began this series by slowing everything down and asking one controlling question: What did Jesus actually say? Not what tradition assumed, not what headlines suggest, but what Jesus said in His own words.

We started by acknowledging why the end times generate so much confusion. Fear has a way of amplifying assumptions, and when anxiety leads interpretation, Scripture often becomes a mirror of our worries instead of a source of peace.

From there, we went back to the moment that started the entire conversation. Jesus stood in the Temple and declared that not one stone would be left upon another, a statement that shook the disciples because it signaled the collapse of the world they knew.

When they came to Him privately, they didn’t ask a vague question. They asked three distinct questions, rooted in that shocking prediction and framed by their understanding of covenant, authority, and the age they were living in.

We learned something essential in that moment. Jesus answers those questions in order, not all at once, and confusing the order is what creates confusion in the interpretation.

As Jesus continued, He gave warnings that were specific, practical, and urgent. He spoke of the abomination of desolation, of Jerusalem surrounded by armies, and of the necessity to flee, making it clear He was describing a real, historical crisis—not a symbolic riddle.

Those instructions alone told us something important. You do not flee resurrection, and you do not outrun the end of the world, but you can escape a city that is about to fall.

Then Jesus anchored everything with a statement that still unsettles many readers. He said plainly that this generationwould not pass away until all these things took place, and history confirms that within one generation, Jerusalem was destroyed exactly as He said.

Up to that point, Jesus spoke with clarity and precision. Signs were given, locations were named, and the timing was understandable to those who were listening.

Then everything changed with one word. Jesus said, “But concerning that day and hour…” and with that shift, He moved from a knowable judgment to an unknowable return.

In this episode of The Red-Letter Crusade, Pastor Bob Thibodeau shares a powerful message on “The Word.” He reminds us that Jesus’ words aren’t just history—they’re alive, filled with life and power to change us today.

Pastor Bob challenges us to go beyond just hearing Scripture and to let it take root in our hearts so our lives reflect Jesus. With his down-to-earth style and a touch of humor, he shows why feeding on God’s Word is just as essential as daily bread. This message will encourage you to make the Word a priority and live it out every day.

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
