Revealing The True Light with Mike Shreve

The great tribulation is rushing toward us like a dark, rolling, ominous storm cloud. Will the church present a strong, final stand for truth in a world full of deception or will God secretly translate His people to heaven seven years before the end of the age? Does Scripture support a pre-tribulation rapture, a post-tribulation catching away, or something different? Solid answers await.

World religions are notoriously based on human efforts. You must be good enough to earn the ultimate goals promised. On the contrary, Christianity is based on God’s goodness and His passion to make unworthy people worthy. It’s a calamity—because human beings like to “boast” of the effectiveness of their efforts—but Paul (a supreme example) summed it up by saying, “Where is boasting?” His answer? “It is excluded!”

One of Jesus’ most controversial statements is only seven words long—“The kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17:20-21) Does this mean, as many yoga devotees and New Agers insist, that the Bible endorses their view of a spark of divinity residing within every human being? Or does it mean something altogether different?

In Catholicism, an ordained priest must mediate at baptism, confession, communion, assisting the bishop at confirmation, and finally, at extreme unction (the final rites)—in order for these things to be done properly. Did Jesus institute this office and these requirements, or did a representative priesthood phase out with the changing of the covenant?

All seven feasts of the Lord in the Old Testament are prophetic of powerful New Testament realities. Passover foretells the crucifixion of the Lamb of God and the beginning of our salvation journey. Unleavened Bread speaks of Jesus’ sinlessness and our calling to be holy like Him, that we might properly represent God in this world. This teaching will take you to the next level in your walk with God.

Passover is the annual celebration memorializing the deliverance of the children of Israel from Egypt almost 3400 years ago. However, God reveals His mysteries in signs, symbols, and metaphorical imagery. As we dig deep into the biblical data, we will surely hit a motherlode of gold in God’s Word. The divine revelation we discover will enrich our understanding of this feast of the Lord, as well as God’s great plan for the ages.

Were the Nephilim giants of Genesis 6 the offspring of fallen angels and earthly women? Were they demigods who ruled the world in that day? If destroying them was the reason for the flood, why are they mentioned after God began afresh with Noah and his family? Is this mysterious passage simply about rampant polygamy or sexual contact with supernatural entities? This is a vitally important issue that must be resolved.

Receiving forgiveness from God and granting forgiveness to others are two fundamental and related principles in Christianity. Even though all positive religions emphasize the latter, many do not subscribe to the former. You will be surprised what Buddhism, Hinduism, New Age Spirituality, Shinto, Theosophy, The Law of Attraction, A Course in Miracles, and even the biblical revelation teach concerning this all-important concept that is so essential to the healing of the heart.

A Catholic online prayer app called “Hallow” is getting a lot of attention lately. The representative spokespersons are most likely very sincere about their faith. But are they presenting a true, God-pleasing, biblical approach to prayer? Or are false, Catholic traditions being promoted? The word “hallowed” means holy or sacred. Only correct methods in prayer could ever be referred to as “hallowed.” Listen to this episode and decide for yourself.

Many popular Christian books train believers how to identify and overcome “The Jezebel Spirit.” Is there such a thing? Is there biblical proof? Is it right to use the two Jezebels in the Bible to identify the activities of a demon that is given the same name and still active in this era? Is this sound biblical revelation or theological imagination?

The Bible is largely silent about Jesus between the ages of 12 and 30. Various sources offer conflicting claims, insisting Jesus trained under an Essene teacher, traveled to India, was mentored by Hindu healers, lived in a Tibetan monastery, studied Buddhism, or joined a “Secret Brotherhood” in Heliopolis, Egypt. After hearing the evidence, you’ll be able to determine if there is any validity to these stories or if He simply remained in Nazareth until announcing His ministry in the synagogue.

Jesus had a way of disregarding religious traditions that enraged His opponents. It was one major reason they demanded He be crucified. Yet Paul praised the Corinthians because they kept the traditions he introduced. Catholics revere what they call “sacred traditions” to such a degree, it is considered equal to “sacred Scripture” in that belief system. So, are religious traditions good or bad?

In just 66 words, “The Lord’s Prayer” contrasts biblical doctrine to other world religions on major issues like the nature of God, the nature of the universe, and the nature of true salvation. Each phrase uniquely identifies an essential truth. What apologetic genius from the Lord Jesus Christ! You will never view this prayer the same again.

Pope Leo recently announced that beginning January 10th of this year (2026), a Franciscan Year of Jubilee will be observed, celebrating the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis. If Catholics fulfill certain requirements, the promise has been given that they can completely escape the punishment and/or the purging of Purgatory. Is this true or just another false, manmade, non-biblical, religious tradition?

One Catholic version of the Bible translates Genesis 3:15 with a major spin. The Lord

God prophesies to the serpent, “ “ I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and

thy seed and her seed: SHE SHALL CRUSH THY HEAD.” Consequently, some Catholic

theologians teach the serpent-crushing woman is Mary, the mother of Jesus. Protestant

Bible versions instead render this passage, “HE WILL BRUISE YOUR HEAD”—speaking of

JESUS. Which is right?

The three pillars of Catholicism (also called “The Three Legs”) are Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the Magisterium. All three are equally revered by Catholics, and given equal authority, so if something cannot be proven by “Sacred Scripture,” but is part of “Sacred Tradition” and approved by “the Magisterium,” it is established as official dogma. Is there relevance to this point of view, or can it result in a departure from “the faith which was once delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3)?

The last of five “sacred doors” in Rome and at the Vatican will be closed on January 6, 2026. Around 30 million Catholics have made a pilgrimage there in 2025, proclaimed by Pope Francis to be a special “year of Jubilee.” By walking through those doors, pilgrims hoped to earn indulgences facilitating an escape from the suffering of Purgatory, either for them or their deceased loved ones. Is this religious tradition a glorious opportunity or spiritual exploitation? Are they doors of blessings or doors of deception?

Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) is the last of seven Feasts that God instructed the Jews to celebrate annually during the Old Testament era. It is taking place this year (October 6-13, 2025). There are five main levels of interpretation to all the Feasts: historical, practical, symbolical, spiritual, and prophetical. As we visit every level, we will discover the genius of the Everlasting Father who often hides His mysteries in this intriguing, symbolic way.

In 1274 A.D., Purgatory was officially declared a doctrine of the Catholic Church. This netherworld location has been described as a place of flames, punishment, intolerable pain, and purification, before those subjected to it graduate to the bliss of heaven. Purgatory cannot be proven by the Bible. Along with indulgences, it is one of the primary beliefs that led to the great Protestant Reformation.
