Churchgoer Plays Chuck Smith Sermon Backwards, Discovers Postmillennialism

Church Refuses to Acknowledge Scandalous Hidden Message

A churchgoer in California claims to have discovered a hidden message in one of Chuck Smith's sermons on premillennialism, the belief that Jesus will return before a thousand-year reign of peace on earth. Chuck Smith (1927-2013) was the founder of Calvary Chapel, a movement of over 1,000 churches worldwide. The churchgoer, who wishes to remain anonymous, says he accidentally played the sermon backwards on his cassette player and was shocked by what he heard.

"I was listening to Pastor Chuck's sermon on Revelation 20, where he explains how the rapture will happen before the tribulation and the millennium," the churchgoer told us. "But then my cassette player malfunctioned and started playing the tape backwards. I was about to stop it, but then I heard something that caught my attention."

The churchgoer says he heard Chuck Smith say, in a clear and audible voice, "Postmillennialism is true. Jesus will return after the millennium. The church will bring God's kingdom on earth through the gospel. Premillennialism is a lie."

"I couldn't believe my ears," the churchgoer said. "I thought I was hearing things, but then I played it again and again, and it was the same message every time. I even recorded it and showed it to some of my friends, and they confirmed it."

The churchgoer says he has since changed his views on eschatology and embraced postmillennialism, the belief that Jesus will return after a thousand-year reign of peace on earth ushered in by the church. He says he feels liberated and hopeful by this new perspective.

"I used to be afraid of the end times and all the signs of the times," he said. "But now I see that God has a plan for his church to transform the world through his grace and power. I'm excited to be part of that mission."

The churchgoer says he has tried to contact Chuck Smith's ministry to ask him about the hidden message, but has not received a response. He says he wished that Chuck Smith would have come forward and admittedthat he secretly taught postmillennialism all along.

"Maybe he was afraid of losing his followers or his reputation if he revealed his true beliefs," the churchgoer speculated. "But I think he owed it to his listeners to tell them the truth. After all, the truth will set you free."

However, the churchgoer's theological journey did not end there. After the interview, he reportedly played a message from Greg Laurie’s latest Harvest Crusade - backwards - and became a Calvinist.

To Protect Last Political Allies from Trump, Biden Pardons Pilate, the Sanhedrin

Critics Say Presidential Clemency 2,000 Years Too Late In a shocking twist of historical revisionism, President Biden has issued a last-minute presidential pardon for Pontius Pilate and the Sanhedrin, effectively settling a 2,000-year-old legal dispute. The unprecedented move comes as Biden clears his presidential desk, seemingly determined to resolve theological legal matters that have been pending since the first century. "Sometimes, you've got to wash your hands of ancient history—literally," Biden reportedly quipped, making a clear reference to Pilate's infamous hand-washing gesture. The pardon documents hilariously cite "administrative oversight" and "bureaucratic complications" as primary reasons for the belated legal clemency. Religious scholars and historians are bewildered, with one anonymous theologian remarking, "Well, that's one way to end a presidency—by retroactively solving a crucifixion controversy." The White House pr...

Baptists Cancel Outdoor Service Due to Rain Threat

Baptists Cancel Outdoor Service Due to Rain Threat A local Baptist church has decided to cancel its planned outdoor service this Sunday due to the forecast of rain. The pastor of the church, Rev. Joe Jones, said that he did not want to risk exposing his congregation to the wet weather, which could have dire consequences for their spiritual health. "We believe that baptism is a personal decision that should only be made by those who have professed their faith in Jesus Christ," Jones said. "We do not practice infant baptism, unlike our Presbyterian neighbors, who sprinkle water on their babies as a sign of the covenant." Jones explained that he feared that if his church members got wet from the rain, they might inadvertently become Presbyterians, which would be a tragedy for their souls. "Presbyterians believe in predestination, which means that God has already determined who will be saved and who will be damned," Jones said. "They also have a hierarchy...
