Tribulation Farce: A Left Behind Podcast

Book 2: Episode 1 - Do The Right Thing

Season 2, Ep. 1

Welcome to Tribulation Farce the podcast where we go deep into the world and story of Left Behind.


We now begin Tribulation Force, the second in the series, and I wish it started with more of a bang. It is a little boring but luckily we came up with various rapture scenarios.


New book-club-style episodes will be released every other week, with periodic deep-dives into fun topics like Dispensationalism, the rise of the Religious Right, and unhinged Evangelical TikToks.

  • Welcome to Revelation and the Timeline of Destruction

    01:41:40|
    One of the many fun things about making this podcast is going from "this is cool!" (ironically) to "yo, this is pretty sick actually" (sincere), so it should be no surprise that breaking down the context around the creation of Revelation and the timeline of the Tribulation judgments was really fun to dig into. The start of this episode is a look into the actual book of Revelation and the history that led to its writing, along with necessary context to help ground this wild and weird book. Then, we enter the Final Terrible Week of The Lord and break down the Seal, Trumpet, and Bowl Judgments that have either already affected our heroes, or will be thrown at them soon. Things are about to get extremely unchill for the Tribulation Force and I cannot wait to talk about it when we get deeper into the series. Even if some of the judgments are repeats... (Really, God? Three earthquakes??)This episode would not have possible without the fine folks over at patreon.com/contenthole.
