In this reflective episode of Lifespring! One Year Bible Rewind, host Steve Webb delves into Luke 21–22, focusing on Jesus’ prophetic warnings about the temple’s destruction and the signs of the end times. He confronts the age-old question: 'Are we in the end times?' With personal conviction, Webb affirms that while he believes we are living in the final days—pointing to fulfilled prophecies like the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem—he refuses to be dogmatic about timing. Drawing from his own spiritual journey and the legacy of Pastor Chuck Smith, he emphasizes that Jesus’ return could happen at any moment, even as he humorously acknowledges the failed predictions of past prophets. The episode shifts from theology to vulnerability when Webb shares his ongoing battle with atrial fibrillation, detailing medical options and pleading for prayer. His raw honesty about health, faith, and the uncertainty of life underscores a central theme: readiness, not prediction, is the believer’s calling.
Jesus prophesied the temple’s destruction and the end times, but warned that no one knows the exact timing—even the Son.
Pastor Chuck Smith believed Jesus would return before 1980, but Steve Webb respects his faith without adopting his timeline.
The return of Christ could happen at any moment—readiness, not prediction, is the believer’s responsibility.
Atrial fibrillation has returned for Steve Webb, and he’s choosing a catheter-based heart procedure over lifelong medication.
Pray for healing, swift scheduling, and success of the upcoming medical procedure—Steve is relying on the LifeSpring community.

Opening & Introduction
Steve Webb welcomes listeners to the LifeSpring Family Audio Bible, introducing today’s reading from Luke 21–22 and announcing the episode title 'Soon'. He shares his email and comment page, setting a personal, community-oriented tone.
The Widow’s Offering & Temple Prophecy
Jesus observes a poor widow giving two copper coins, declaring she gave more than all the rich because she gave everything. He then prophesies the temple’s destruction, saying not one stone will be left on another.
Signs of the End & Persecution
Jesus warns of wars, earthquakes, famines, and persecution. He assures believers that their words will be divinely guided, and though betrayed by loved ones, not a hair on their head will perish.
The Fig Tree Parable & Readiness
Jesus uses the fig tree as a metaphor: when leaves appear, summer is near. Likewise, when signs appear, the kingdom of God is near. He declares that this generation will not pass away until all things are fulfilled.
The Last Supper & Betrayal
Jesus prepares for Passover with His disciples. He institutes the Lord’s Supper, declares His blood as the new covenant, and reveals that one of the twelve will betray Him—Judas.
“I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
“Jesus is not late in returning. He'll be on time, but I believe it can be at any moment.”
“I joke about being an old guy, but at 67, I'm not really that old and I don't really relish the idea of being on these drugs for the rest of my life.”
