Did you know the Bible has thousands of hidden threads woven through it that most Christians have never been shown? There are approximately 350 direct Old Testament quotations in the New Testament, but over 3,000 allusions - indirect references scholars have documented that never made it into study Bibles.

Dr. Benjamin Gladd, executive director of the Carson Center for Theological Renewal at The Gospel Coalition joins the show to talk about Connecting Scripture, a unique, first-of-its-kind study Bible he co-authored with G.K. Beale, that makes exploring these threads possible for the everyday Christian.

This isn't just a study Bible upgrade. It's a whole new way of reading. Ben explains the difference between a direct quotation - those flashing red lights moments like "that it might be fulfilled" - and an allusion, which functions more like an Easter egg hidden in the text. Think of John 1:1 ("In the beginning was the Word") deliberately echoing Genesis 1:1.

We also get into some of the harder questions. What do you do when the New Testament seems to use the Old Testament in ways that invert or even contradict the original meaning? And how did the Apostles read the Scriptures? Did the Old Testament authors actually know what they were writing?

This episode is the kind of biblical theology content that feeds your soul and sharpens your mind. Don't miss it.

Are most, if not all, unbelievers demonized? It sounds extreme. But Scripture might be less ambiguous about this than the modern church wants to admit.

Most Christians default to one picture when they hear the word "demonized" - the Gadarene demoniac from Mark 5, a naked man in the tombs, chains broken, screaming at Jesus. That's a level 10. But the Bible describes demonic influence across a spectrum, and the passages we tend to skip suggest that every person outside of Christ is somewhere on it.

Paul says the "god of this age" has blinded the minds of unbelievers (2 Corinthians 4:4). He describes Satan as the spirit actively at work in "the sons of disobedience" (Ephesians 2:2). John writes that "the whole world lies in the power of the evil one" (1 John 5:19). And in 1 Corinthians 10, Paul makes the explicit connection between idol worship and demon worship, which means that since everyone worships something before coming to Christ, no one gets a pass.

This isn't a fringe charismatic idea. It's the Bible's own framework for understanding the spiritual condition of the lost. And if it's true, it changes everything: how we pray, how we evangelize, and what it means to walk someone out of darkness and into the kingdom.

In this episode, we examine the biblical case and ask the most important follow-up question: what should believers actually be doing about it?

What happens when a charismatic prophet's own documented words contradict each other repeatedly, across years, in print and on video? Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree bring independent researcher Joshua Harris onto Remnant Radio to walk through the cumulative case on Jeremiah Johnson: prophetic inconsistency, documented plagiarism, and a pattern that the body of Christ needs to weigh carefully.

Joshua Harris has spent months building a documented, timestamped case across multiple categories, and what he found goes far deeper than one bad prophecy or one misremembered detail.

This is the one-stop episode on everything regarding the allegations against Jeremiah Johnson: false prophecy, plagiarism, fabricated testimony, and what a leaked leadership meeting reveals about how Jeremiah is spinning the narrative behind closed doors.
