About this listen

 In Episode 276 of the Bible Mysteries Podcast, Scott Mitchell and John Potts begin a three-part series examining one of the most discussed and often misunderstood prophecies in Scripture—the Battle of Gog found in Ezekiel 38 and 39. With global tensions rising and constant speculation circulating online, many are quick to claim that current events are the direct fulfillment of biblical prophecy. In this opening episode, Scott and John take a step back and address a critical issue first: end times deception. The Bible warns that in the latter days, deception will increase—even among believers. This episode explores how misinformation, social media, and even artificial intelligence are contributing to confusion, making it more difficult to discern truth from error. Scott emphasizes the importance of grounding our understanding of prophecy in Scripture rather than headlines or popular opinion. Through a careful examination of key passages, including 1 Timothy 4 and 2 Timothy 4, this episode highlights the danger of departing from sound doctrine and the rise of teachings that appeal to emotion rather than truth. The discussion also addresses two common errors seen in the church today—those who avoid doctrine entirely and those who add to Scripture by elevating extra-biblical writings. Both approaches lead away from a proper understanding of God’s Word. A central focus of this episode is the frequent misapplication of Psalm 83 as a future prophetic war. By comparing Scripture with Scripture, Scott shows how Psalm 83 aligns with the historical events recorded in 2 Chronicles 20, where God Himself fought the battle for Israel when His people sought Him first. This episode sets the foundation for the rest of the series by establishing a key principle: we must interpret current events through the lens of Scripture—not force Scripture to fit current events. As deception increases, believers are called to hold fast to the Word of God, rightly divide the truth, and remain anchored in sound doctrine.

The believer’s safeguard is not speculation, but Scripture.
