11/13/24 “Send Them Strong Delusion”

In the days following the decisive 2024 election, there has been much gloating and much wound licking. This is to be expected, of course, but underneath the surface there is an ages-old problem at work, and one which God’s people must avoid as we await the return of Jesus Christ.

11/7/24 “Election Prophecy”

Former President Donald Trump is officially President-elect Trump once again! But while 65% of the American populace is overjoyed and 35% are bracing for totalitarian rule, no one seems to be viewing the results through the lens of Daniel 11. That’s what we’re here for, friends! Thanks for joining this Live edition of Something’s Happening Here as we look beyond the election and toward the prophetic future.

7/14/24 "Missed Me" S4LE2
What goes through your head when a bullet grazes your ear? Well, thankfully – not the bullet! Good grief! While it’s true that anyone with a prophetic sense of our closeness to Christ’s promised return knew that Trump vs. Biden Season Two was going to be full of twist and surprises, did anyone see an assassination attempt coming in the script? Well you know, actually I’m sure many did, because Donald J. Trump poses a real and existential threat to his enemies, and they’ve proven many times that they’re willing to stop at nothing to neutralize that threat. But what’s really going on here? Is this the Democrats showing their true colors? Is it an elaborate right-wing vote grab? Might we be wrestling with “principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this age, and spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places?” Welcome to another Live episode of Something’s Happening Here, because we couldn’t wait for a new Season to discuss the Trump Assassination Attempt in light of Daniel chapter 11.

Though we at Something’s Happening Here are still working out the details for future seasons to come, the recent assassination attempt against former (and possible future) President Trump demands another Live episode.

Though we are still on a production break, the assassination attempt against former President Trump is a big enough deal that we'll be doing another Live episode in order to explore it prophetically and spiritually.

Tune in Sunday July 14 at roughly 1PM Eastern / 10AM Pacific (give-or-take, please be gracious) for "Missed Me," when we'll explore "Trump Assassination Attempt: Prophetic? What’s Coming Next? A Study of Daniel 11."

It'll be a big show. See you then.

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14

Lord remember your people and give us grace to always see Your Kingdom clearly as the world grows dark around us.

6/12/24 "More Important Than Ever to Know Scripture" S4LE1
Today on Somethings Happening Here - what? I thought the show was on a production break?? Well yes, friends, but Jesus is still coming soon and the spiritual side of current events keep demanding our attention. So today we’re coming to you Live, unedited, with no theme music or on-screen graphics, to discuss Mr. Russell Brand’s conversion a couple months in, and how it can help us understand the need for Biblical clarity on the gospel, the movement of the Holy Spirit, and prophecy. We’ll also revisit Asbury University today, and for the same reasons. Jesus warns that faith will be confusing in the days before He returns, and we want to understand clearly why that is, and what to do about it. I’m Steve Hicks, Director of Podcast Ministries for Talking Donkey International. Welcome to our first experimental Live show.

A special inter-season Live broadcast of Something’s Happening Here! This is a legit show, following the same general format of the regular program; part of some experiments we’re doing to prepare for the next official Season.

At the end of the video there will be instructions about how to obtain The Story of Hope, as well as an exclusive discount offer for members of this Page. Please watch until the end!

12/06/2024

Hi folks!

Wednesday 6/12 Eastern (4pm Pacific) I plan to do the first inter-season Live Something's Happening Here broadcast!

It will be a follow-up to a show we did on 5/6/24 (show S4E14p1), wherein we discussed entertainer Russell Brand's recent baptism and conversion to Christianity.

Mr. Brand has made follow-up statements in the weeks that have passed, and those statements along with other notable revival events around the country mean that there is a spiritual dimension to these current events that demands our attention!

As always, this will be more of a Bible study than a news program, and I'm sure we'll discuss Daniel 11 before we're done.

Then to conclude the show, I will FINALLY provide that checkout page and discount code for The Story of Hope, which I promised in the Live video I posted on 6/2.

Check it out! See you then! Wednesday 6/12 @ 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific, right here on this Page.

5/24/24 "In Defense of the Scripture" part 3 S4E16p3
Today on Something’s Happening Here, we end Season Four in the book of Revelation. All week we’ve been arguing In Defense of the Scripture, and today we’ll look to the prophetic future to see why this question is so important. Prophecy reveals that the deceptions to come will be so strong that the whole world will fall into error, as well as what God’s people are to do to avoid it. But how can you know Bible prophecy without knowing the Bible? Many people who claim the name Christian today are in for a big surprise when prophecy becomes reality, and at Talking Donkey International we pray that you’ll be among those who respond to God’s final call in Revelation 18:4, because otherwise “You’ll Follow Babylon Straight to Hellfire If You Don’t Know Bible Prophecy.” Grab your Bibles and let’s learn how to avoid that!

https://www.gotquestions.org/Marxism-Christian.html
It’s the finale of Season Four! The Word of God is under attack – and often from within the church! (Just like Scripture promises.) Something’s Happening Here defends the Bible and explores the prophetic importance of doing so.

5/22/24 "In Defense of the Scripture" part 2 S4E16p2
Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Or as Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 1:9, “That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.” Today on Something’s Happening Here, we look to history to see where and when a lot of the modern Bible hating began, and realize it was prophesied to be as such in the book of Revelation. Will the outcome be the same now as back then? All that and more with ‘“The Two Witnesses” In Prophetic History – Are We Living in a Similar Moment Now?’ Then on Friday we’ll look to the prophetic future to see where all this Bible hatred is going and why it matters how we understand the Scripture today.

5/20/24 "In Defense of the Scripture" part 1 S4E16p1
All good things must come to an end – and this week’s episode brings us to the end of Season Four. Something’s Happening Here is about to take a break for a while, so we’re closing with a strong appeal in favor of the Holy Scriptures. Did you know that the world is deeply hostile toward the Bible? Of course you did. But did you know that a sizeable amount of that hostility comes from within the church, too? We begin the week’s episode with some examples of modern-day Bible hating in their subtle forms on today’s show called “Of Course the World Hates the Bible – But Many Within the Church Do Too!”; then Wednesday we’ll look to history and prophecy to see where a lot of today’s hatred stems from; then Friday we’ll look to the future to see why it all matters. Ready? Put on your Prophecy Hats and welcome to the show!

5/17/24 "To All the World as a Witness" part 3 S4E15p3
Today on Something’s Happening Here, we identify one crucial aspect of God’s final message of repentance to the world and beg us all to incorporate it into our lives as we wait for Christ’s return. But like we’ve seen throughout the week, the world at large (and even sometimes the church) says (and even shouts) the precise opposite of what God is saying to His people. So don’t be surprised if this one crucial aspect is something you’ve been taught to ignore or disregard. We’re finishing up our week-long program “To All the World as a Witness” with today’s rejuvenating show, “Rest Your Way Into Eternity While the World Stresses Itself to Death.”

5/15/24 "To All the World as a Witness" part 2 S4E15p2
Just about the worst thing you can be called these days is “judgmental,” or any of its daughter terms like “racist” “sexist” “-phobic” of any kind. The secular religion of the modern world says that everyone is equally correct and valid and equal in every single way all the time, so saying otherwise makes you judgmental. A bigot of some kind. Well all week long, Something’s Happening Here is preaching the everlasting gospel with our episode “To All the World as a Witness,” and Revelation 14:7 says that gospel includes a judgment aspect. Is it possible that the modern judgment-phobia of the world is the workings of the devil, even when spoken in the name of Jesus? We’ll discuss that and more on today’s show, “The World Wants to Avoid Being Judged And Thus Guarantees Its Own Judgment.”

5/13/24 "To All the World as a Witness" part 1 S4E15p1
I recently had a conversation with an enthusiastic Christian believer. When I asked him to explain the gospel to me, he used many words to say, essentially, “be nice to each other.” He didn’t mention Jesus once. This was just the most recent example for me of what I’ve known for a long time, unfortunately: despite one of every three people on earth claiming the title “Christian,” the gospel is not very well understood at all. So this week on Something’s Happening Here, we are preaching this gospel of the kingdom “To All the World as a Witness,” starting with today’s show, “The World Shouts Its Evils and Condemns Its Goodness In These Last Days.” I’m Steve Hicks, Director of Podcast Ministries for Talking Donkey International. Grab your Bibles and let’s start the show!

5/10/24 "How Can You Know the Real God?" part 3 S4E14p3
I’m always shocked when I meet Christians who argue against the importance of reading and knowing Scripture. I just met another one last week, in fact! He told me proudly how he learned about God from Scripture then warned me that Scripture isn’t the best way to know God. And that made sense to him. All week on Something’s Happening Here, we’ve been asking “How Can You Know the Real God?” and looking at real-world examples of how knowing Him is important. Today we’re tackling the issue head-on: the central importance of the Bible to a believer’s knowledge of and relationship with Jesus Christ. Are you ready? Because if Scripture is the best way to know Christ, and most believer’s don’t study Scripture (and most really don’t), then who is the god they think they know?

True versus false seems to be the conflict of the Internet Age. But amid the controversies of misinformation and propaganda is the ages-old question of the true God versus the false. As we near the conclusion of Season Four, Something’s Happening Here will argue this basic question.

5/8/24 "How Can You Know the Real God?" part 2 S4E14p2
The pro-Hamas protests got turned up to eleven recently as several college campuses nationwide fell victim to violent antics by alleged protestors who were loudly demanding the right to eliminate Jews from the earth. These protests, of course, were no more than Occupy Wall Street and Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone back just in time for another election, and they met with similar fates, complete with police in riot gear, mass arrests, and even a presidential condemnation. Well we just did an episode on protest last week, so today we will use these campus catastrophes where students are damaging their own cause trying to save the world with virtue signals to continue to ask, “How Can You Know the Real God?” After all, are these protests not, at their core, religious in nature? Welcome.

5/6/24 "How Can You Know the Real God?" part 1 S4E14p1
I was just as surprised as everybody else when Russell Brand announced his decision for baptism, and a lot has been said about it since he took the plunge, so to speak. Is he sincere in his faith? Is he running cover because of criminal allegations? Is he a baptized pagan? So rather than add to or repeat those conversations, Something’s Happening Here will use it as a launchpoint for prophecy! Whether Mr. Brand knows the real God or not, he gives us an opportunity to discuss the prophetic importance of knowing the real God leading up to Christ’s return. Thanks for joining us today as we begin our week-long episode called “How Can You Know the Real God?” with today’s show, “Russell Brand’s Baptism: Sincere or Stunt? What We Can Learn About Prophecy Either Way.”

5/3/24 "The Art and Folly of Protest" part 3 S4E13p3
We’ve seen authoritarian protesters. We’ve seen authoritarian answers to protestors. What will we see when the universe protests against the ultimate authority over all? And what in the world am I talking about? I’m referencing solid theology from a popular prophetic passage, but maybe you’d never know it by my description because apparently my school of prophetic thought is “almost non-existent today,” according to my favorite terrible article that I told you we’d have to revisit soon. Put on your Prophecy Hats as we study “The Greatest Protest in the Universe, and God’s Masterful Handling of It,” and argue a bit of hermeneutics while we’re at it. I’m Steve Hicks, Director of Podcast Ministries for Talking Donkey International; thanks for watching this week’s episode, and welcome to the show.

We’re living in a moment of worldwide protest. As we wind down Season Four, this week we look at different protests and their aftermaths, and look to the Bible to see how God handles protestors prophetically.
