Israel and the Antichrist: A Conversation with Dr. Kim Riddlebarger - Session 1

Recorded live at Christ Reformed Church in Anaheim, this AGR event brings together Pastor Chris Gordon, Dr. Rev. Dan Borvan and Dr. Kim Riddlebarger (founding pastor of Christ Reformed Church and author of "A Case for Amillennialism" and "The Man of Sin") for a wide-ranging conversation on Israel, the Antichrist, and the state of end-times theology in American evangelicalism. The two dig into why interest in Israel has spiked since October 7th, the political entanglements with figures like Trump, Netanyahu, Tucker Carlson, and Ted Cruz, and the odd cultural moment where talk of a rebuilt Third Temple has become mainstream.
