Luke21 is a media outreach of Family Life Center International that launched in 2017 on Catholic radio. In 2024, the podcast was relaunched, available in both video and audio formats.
Luke21 teaches about biblical prophecy through broadcasts and podcasts, inspired by Luke 21:1-37.
Luke21 is primarily guided by the prophetic teaching of St. Augustine in The City of God, and Sections 668 – 682 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church reflecting the teaching of St. Augustine.
Luke21 wants to instruct Catholics desirous of learning more about biblical prophecy while safeguarding all Christians from being drawn to prophetic teachers of questionable reliability.
Luke21 is a broadcast with an ecumenical spirit. We’ll extensively use the Bible, the foundation of any ecumenical bridge. Differing interpretations of biblical prophecy will be explained in light of both the Scriptures and the teaching of the early church fathers.
Luk 21’s host Steve Wood, has studied biblical prophecy for five decades. During his years as an Evangelical teacher and pastor, he made a long pilgrimage through all major schools of prophecy before finally adopting St. Augustine’s views. With his background, Steve knows each of the major non-Catholic interpretations of biblical prophecy well and can provide our listeners with an insider’s viewpoint.
Luke21 doesn’t …
- Evaluate private revelations. We leave that task to the Vatican.
- Set dates for the Second Coming because it’s impossible to predict.
- Try to be novel in our interpretations of biblical prophecy. That’s why we heavily rely on the Catechism, the church fathers and papal teaching.
And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Luke 21:25-26
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs.
Matthew 24:6-7
And I saw, issuing from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet, three foul spirits like frogs; for they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.
Revelation 16:13-14
But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a snare; for it will come upon all who dwell upon the face of the whole earth.
Luke 21:34-35
“Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. "
