In Episode 25 of Tomorrow’s Truth Found Today, Mark returns with Part Two of “This Trick Is No Treat,” continuing his examination of Halloween, its historical roots, and what Scripture has to say about a Christian’s relationship with traditions connected to pagan practices.

In Part One, we explored some of the ancient beliefs and customs associated with Samhain and the Druids. In this episode, Mark continues that history, including how October 31 became known as All Hallows’ Eve and eventually Halloween.

But this episode goes beyond history.

Mark asks listeners to consider a more personal question: If we learn that a tradition has origins that conflict with our faith, how should we respond?

Through Scripture, including Ezekiel 33:11, Ephesians 6:14–18, and Genesis 19:26, Mark encourages Christians not simply to accept traditions because they are popular or considered harmless, but to study God’s Word, seek the truth, and have the courage to live according to their faith.

This episode also marks a special milestone — 25 episodes of Tomorrow’s Truth Found Today!

This Trick Is No Treat: Part Two

Halloween is often viewed as a harmless celebration filled with costumes, candy, jack-o’-lanterns, and trick-or-treating. But how much do we really know about its history—and should its origins matter to Christians today?

In Episode 24 of Tomorrow’s Truth Found Today, Mark Long begins a two-part study examining the history and traditions surrounding Halloween.

In Part One, Mark explores the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, the Druids and their religious practices, beliefs surrounding the dead and the supernatural, and the pagan influences that became associated with Halloween over the centuries.

More importantly, this episode turns to Scripture to ask a deeper question: How should followers of God respond to traditions and practices with roots in paganism and the occult?

Through passages from Ephesians, Revelation, Hebrews, Matthew, Ecclesiastes, Deuteronomy, and other books of the Bible, Mark contrasts darkness with light, death with life, and the traditions of mankind with the teachings of God.

Is Halloween really nothing more than innocent fun—or is there more behind the celebration than most people realize?

Listen to “This Trick Is No Treat — Part One” and then take the time to study the history and Scriptures for yourself.

And always remember: You Are Worth It!

Part Two will continue the study of Halloween, its history, traditions, and what Scripture has to say about them.

In Part 3 of Gone in the Twinkling of an Eye, Mark Long continues this Scripture-based study by examining what the Bible teaches about Christ's return, the growing influence of deception, and the importance of remaining anchored in God's truth.

This episode explores Jesus' Parable of the Wheat and the Tares, the meaning of the last trumpet, and how these passages fit within the broader message of biblical prophecy. Together, we examine Scripture to understand the difference between truth and tradition and why discernment is so important in the days ahead.

Topics include:

• The Wheat and the Tares (Matthew 13)
• Truth versus deception
• The last trumpet
• Christ's return
• God's promises to those who remain faithful
• Searching the Scriptures for truth

In Part 2 of this continuing Bible study, Mark Long examines what Scripture says about one of Christianity's most debated teachings—the pre-tribulation rapture.

Rather than relying on popular opinion or long-held traditions, this episode explores key biblical passages that address Christ's return, the Great Tribulation, and the gathering of God's people. Together we'll examine whether the Bible teaches a secret removal of believers before the tribulation, or whether Scripture points to a different timeline.

This episode includes discussion of passages from Matthew 24, John 14 and 17, 2 Thessalonians, Revelation, James, and Philippians, encouraging listeners to search the Scriptures and test every teaching against God's Word.

If you're joining this series for the first time, we recommend listening to Part 1 before continuing with this episode.

Whether you've held these beliefs for years or are simply seeking a deeper understanding of Bible prophecy, this study invites you to approach God's Word with an open heart and a willingness to let Scripture speak for itself.

Episode 21 – Gone in the Twinkling of an Eye? (Part 1)

One of the most widely accepted teachings in modern Christianity is the belief that believers will be secretly taken to heaven before the Great Tribulation. But is that what the Bible actually teaches?

In Part 1 of this study, Mark Long begins examining the origins of the modern rapture doctrine, its historical development, and what Scripture says about the trials believers are called to endure before Christ's return.

Together we'll explore:

• The history behind the modern rapture teaching
• John Nelson Darby's influence on end-times theology
• Jesus' warnings about spiritual deception
• What the Bible says about the Great Tribulation
• Why believers are repeatedly called to endure until the end
• Scriptures that challenge the idea of a secret pre-tribulation rapture

This episode encourages listeners to set aside tradition, open their Bibles, and carefully examine what God's Word actually says.

Key Scriptures:
Matthew 24 • Matthew 10:16 • John 16:33 • Acts 14:22 • James 1:2–3 • Hebrews 12:5–6 • Ephesians 4:14 • 1 Corinthians 10:13 • Jeremiah 30:7 • 2 Corinthians 6:2

In Part 3 of our Easter study, we turn our attention to one of the most debated questions surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ:

Did Jesus actually die on Good Friday?

Using Scripture as our guide, we examine the meaning of "The Preparation Day" mentioned in the Gospels, the significance of the "High Day" Sabbath described in John 19:31, and the possibility that two separate Sabbaths occurred during the week of Christ's crucifixion.

Together we explore:

• The biblical meaning of the Preparation Day
• John 19:31 and the High Day Sabbath
• The Feast of Unleavened Bread and its connection to the crucifixion timeline
• Matthew 12:40 and the prophecy of three days and three nights
• The role of the women who witnessed Christ's burial and prepared spices
• Why some believe the traditional Good Friday to Sunday timeline does not align with the Gospel accounts
• A chronological review of Christ's final week leading to His crucifixion, burial, resurrection, and ascension

This episode encourages listeners to examine Scripture carefully, compare traditions with the biblical record, and seek understanding through prayerful study of God's Word.

Key Scriptures:
Matthew 12:40, Matthew 27–28, Mark 11–16, Luke 23–24, John 19:14, 31, 42, Leviticus 23:6-7, Joshua 24:15, and Revelation 18:4.

Episode 18 - Easter: What Does That Word Mean?

What is the true meaning of Easter, and where did many of today’s Easter traditions come from?

In Part 1 of this series from Tomorrow’s Truth Found Today, we begin an in-depth study into the history of Easter, the origins of common traditions, and how they compare with scripture.

Most people associate Easter with eggs, rabbits, baskets, sunrise services, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But are these traditions rooted in the Bible, or do they come from somewhere else?

• The meaning and origin of the word “Easter”
• The “sign of Jonah” in Matthew 12:38–40
• Questions surrounding the Good Friday and Easter Sunday timeline
• Sunrise services and biblical references
• The importance of worshiping God in spirit and truth

This episode is not about attacking anyone’s beliefs or traditions. Instead, it is an invitation to study, examine the evidence, and compare history and tradition with scripture.

Scriptures Discussed:

• Matthew 12:38–40
• John 4:24
• Acts 12:4
• Ezekiel 8:15–17

This is only the beginning of the study. In future episodes, we will continue exploring the origins of Easter traditions, including:
