Section 1

The teaching begins in 2 Peter 3:5, where Peter rebukes those who deliberately ignore God's historical judgment and creative power. These scoffers deny both the biblical flood and the second coming of Christ, not out of ignorance but rebellion—they simply refuse to be held accountable. The Scripture teaches that the universe was spoken into existence by God’s word and that same word also brought judgment through the flood. The argument is not just about scientific timelines or cosmic beginnings; it's about people denying God's sovereignty to avoid facing their own moral responsibility. But believers, by contrast, embrace accountability because they have Jesus as their advocate. We are joyful, not fearful, in acknowledging God as Creator and Judge.

Section 2

Peter presses further in verse 7, noting that the current heavens and earth are being preserved by that same divine word—not by human ingenuity, diplomacy, or environmental stewardship. Mankind, though technologically advanced, has proven itself unreliable as a steward. From viruses to thousands of nuclear weapons in hostile hands, it's clear that humanity is not preserving the planet—God is. Just as God preserved the earth after the flood for future judgment, He continues to preserve it now. His timeline is exact. Nothing and no one can alter the day of judgment He has set. This divine control serves as both a warning and a reassurance: God is in command, and His purpose cannot be derailed by human error or defiance.

Section 3

Peter then shares an astonishing perspective on divine timing: “With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like a day” (2 Peter 3:8). This is not theological guesswork—it’s a call for humility. Whether one holds to premillennial, postmillennial, or amillennial views, the central truth remains: God’s timing transcends human comprehension. Believers are reminded to hold tightly to the core of the gospel—Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection—while holding loosely to speculative end-time details. God exists outside of time, and that truth should inspire both awe and patience. Ultimately, the day of judgment will bring joy to believers who long for their eternal home. We are spiritual foreigners here, living in hope for the day when all is made right.

Section One

This final segment opens with a caller named Charles, who has been a long-time listener and expresses concern about the transition from KAAM 770 to the new HMIM Radio format. David Spoon explains that due to financial constraints, the ministry could not continue on AM radio and opted for internet broadcasting through HMIRadio.org. He reassures listeners that the show is still live and accessible in multiple ways and offers guidance on how to continue tuning in. Charles then correctly answers the trivia question—what do you call someone who dies for their faith?—with “martyr,” prompting encouragement and connection. The tone reflects a strong blend of ministry commitment, listener loyalty, and adaptation to change.

Section Two

The teaching continues in 2 Thessalonians with a sobering message about those who will suffer eternal destruction for not knowing or obeying the gospel. David emphasizes that there are two distinct groups: those unaware of God, and those who consciously reject Him. This leads to a personal reflection about resistance in his early faith journey and a powerful dream in which the Lord called him to full surrender. He urges believers to recognize that no area of their lives should be off-limits to God. The reality of hell—described as eternal separation from God's presence—is not downplayed but presented with deep compassion. David uses this doctrine not to frighten, but to awaken urgency for prayer and evangelism.

Section Three

The final stretch underscores the emotional and spiritual consequences of eternal separation from God. David asks listeners to reflect on all the moments when God has comforted, guided, and spoken to them—and then imagine eternity without any of that. Hell, in this teaching, is not fire and brimstone caricature—it’s the absence of God’s peace, mercy, and presence. This leads to an impassioned plea for believers to recommit to praying for their lost loved ones. Even flawed witness or inadequate evangelism can still be used by God to plant seeds. The message closes in prayer, asking God to reignite urgency and hope for intercession. David reminds us that while salvation is God’s work, our prayers can shake the heavens and change eternal outcomes.

Section One

The broadcast opens with a deep dive into Revelation 5, revisiting the scene where the apostle John witnesses a scroll in the right hand of God, sealed with seven seals. The scroll is described as written on both sides—a significant detail implying that it is complete and leaves no room for additions. This moment is charged with heavenly drama, where a mighty angel proclaims a question that echoes across heaven, earth, and under the earth: “Who is worthy to open the scroll?” The answer is heartbreakingly clear—no one is found worthy. This declaration causes John to weep intensely, highlighting the immense gravity of the scene. The moment illustrates a divine tension: the scroll, believed to represent either the title deed to the earth or the full redemptive plan of God, cannot be touched by any created being.

Section Two

The teaching continues by exploring various interpretations of the 24 elders—whether they symbolize the church, angels, or the totality of God’s people—and emphasizing that their primary role is worship. From a dispensationalist view, these elders are considered faithful overcomers, perhaps even exempt from the Great Tribulation. A particularly engaging analogy is introduced: viewing the scroll as the title deed to Earth, lost by humanity through sin, claimed by Satan, and finally redeemed by Jesus Christ. The symbolic nature of the scroll in God’s right hand further underscores God’s authority and sovereign power. The writing on both sides reflects the completeness of God's plan—one that allows no space for human additions, alterations, or modern theological reinterpretations.

Section Three

The final segment powerfully underscores that no angel, no human, no principality—nothing and no one in all creation—is worthy to take and open the scroll. This honor belongs to God alone. John’s tears are not born of ignorance about Jesus but stem from the overwhelming realization of how far creation falls short, and how only Jesus is able to fulfill this redemptive act. It paints a sobering yet hopeful picture: all have failed except one. The message crescendos into a profound acknowledgment of Jesus’ singular worthiness and the immensity of God's mercy in offering redemption. It closes with a heartfelt encouragement to thank Jesus, who alone could and did take the scroll, fulfilling the eternal plan that no other could complete.

Section One

The message begins with a discussion of the state of humanity before the flood, referencing Genesis 6:5–8, where the wickedness of man was so complete that every thought was continuously evil. David Spoon reacts with both shock and humor, imagining the self-centered nature of mankind at the time—likening them to the “mine, mine, mine” birds from Finding Nemo. It was this complete moral decay that grieved God’s heart and led to the decision to judge the world while extending grace to Noah. The commentary moves into a serious tone, reflecting on how rejecting the Word of God ultimately leads to self-destruction and separation from Him. The conversation with a caller named Fred affirms that Hell was not created for people, but for the devil and his angels, and choosing to reject Jesus Christ leads to permanent separation from God.

Section Two

Fred’s powerful call ends with gratitude and support, prompting David to explain the financial pressures of running both the KAAM slot and the new internet station. He emphasizes the importance of voluntary, cheerful giving from the heart—not out of guilt. He recalls turning down an enormous inheritance in 1980 to remain faithful to his calling and warns against being bought by the world. His message is clear: following Jesus means surrendering worldly riches for eternal rewards. Scripture like Luke 6:38 is quoted to encourage those who want to give, but David reinforces that prayer and support are just as valuable. The tone balances serious commitment to ministry with heartfelt, honest humor, encouraging listeners to be joyful partners in faith.

Section Three

The teaching concludes with a deep dive into overcoming fear. David draws from 2 Timothy 1:7, Psalm 23:4, Hebrews 13:6, and Psalm 34:4, highlighting that fear is not from God but from human frailty and spiritual attack. He teaches that reverence for God is healthy, but tormenting fear is not, and that the key to freedom is seeking God wholeheartedly. By staying connected to the Lord, we receive power, love, and a sound mind—what the Greek calls sōphronismos, or safe thinking. David acknowledges that he prays daily for help to filter thoughts properly and urges listeners to do the same. In a closing prayer, he asks God to help us abandon anxiety, embrace truth, and live in the fearless love made possible through Jesus Christ.
