Bishop Alan DiDio joined Joni Lamb on a recent episode of Joni Table Talk to discuss the prophetic signs of the end times, warning viewers that we are living in a moment strikingly similar to the days of Noah and Lot — yet encouraging believers that they do not need to fear, because God offers safety through Jesus Christ.
“You don’t need to be fearful about this because God is going to keep you safe in the ark of safety, His son, Jesus Christ,” DiDio said. “All you have to do is say yes to Him… Jesus, I’m all yours.”

Referencing Matthew 24, DiDio pointed out that just as Noah and Lot were supernaturally rescued from judgment, God has a plan to rescue His people — what the Bible refers to as the rapture. “This is what the rapture is about,” he said. “God wants to see you so bad that before He has to do all this stuff on the Earth, He’s going to take you to be with Him in heaven.”
DiDio also spoke about the story of Enoch, describing it as a biblical example of rapture: “The Bible said he walked with God so closely that God said, ‘I need you here in heaven with me.’ I want that to be your testimony.”
During the program, he addressed Jesus’ parable of the 10 virgins, noting a symbolic meaning in the five wise and five foolish virgins. “The virgins are not the bride,” he explained. “They are to prepare the bride. Is this dealing with the five-fold ministry office gifts? The apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher? That there are five who will prepare the bride to meet the bridegroom — and five who won’t.”

DiDio encouraged viewers to remain spiritually prepared, filled with the Holy Spirit, and focused on Christ’s imminent return. “We’ve got to stay full of the Holy Spirit. We’ve got to stay full of that oil.”
He also highlighted an overlooked truth about the book of Revelation. “The number one subject in Revelation is the number seven,” DiDio said. “If you understand the number seven, the fear gets removed from the book of Revelation. It means divine perfection and completion… God is going to finish His work.”
He passionately advocated for a renewed focus on eternal life and biblical hope. “Preachers have been sold a lie that if they talk about this, people will turn off — and that’s not the case. Forty-two percent of Americans, not just Christians, believe they’re living in the last days.”
DiDio tied together current global developments with biblical prophecy, suggesting that both revival and apostasy are increasing simultaneously. “Joel 2 says, ‘I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh in the last days.’ We’re in that time. It’s the two-minute warning.”
Despite the sobering signs — technological advances, gene splicing, and societal indifference to judgment — DiDio offered reassurance. “Let not your heart be troubled. Jesus has prepared a place for you and He’s just about to come and get you.”

“The second coming final phase is Jesus coming back with His church,” he added. “But He can’t come back with His church until He comes back for His church.”
DiDio’s message clearly shows us that the time is short, the signs are evident, but those who trust in Jesus Christ can live in hope, not fear.
