Hearing that millions will become believers during the tribulation is always gut wrenching. We obviously hope for this. However, it is only supposed for 2 reasons. The first being the belief the rapture is before the tribulation. The second from the Great Multitude. What we see scripture tell us is this. 2 Thess 2:8-12 tells us there will be a great deception over those who are wicked during the reign of the Anti Christ. So my questions becomes, during a time that God is casting a delusion over the wicked, wouldn't this indicate there is a smaller probability of this explosion of believers? Scripture DOES indicate this. 1 Thess 5 is completely taken out of context here. Jesus and Paul talking about the unexpected return is for those who are unbelievers. Not believers. Paul makes this clear as you keep reading in chapter 5. If people fault to, well the church is raptured by the time The Day of the Lord, you have to default to those in the tribulation as children of Darkness. Otherwise, that day would not overtake them. See the issue here? The Rapture cannot happen until 2 things happen. 2 Thess 2, there will need to be apostacy AND the man of lawlessness is revealed. Paul was clear to the Thessalonians about this. He tells them they did not miss the return of Christ, the Day of the Lord. Paul always refers to Christ's coming as the Day of the Lord, Paul also ties the rising of the Dead to the day of the Lord. Isaiah 26 and Daniel 12 tell us the dead will rise with the Day of the Lord. Joel 3 describes things that will happen before that day. Sun, moon, and stars will be darkened before it. There will be quakes on earth and in heaven. It is consistent with Matthew 24 of what Jesus says. Scripture says NOTHING about the 144,000 being evangelists. On top of that, the sealing happens AFTER the 6th seal. It makes NO sense. It is not scriptural in any way. Infact, these 1440,00 are sealed just before the trumpet and bowl judgements. It is exactly like passover. They are spared from God's wrath. How do we know this? Revelation 14. The two witnesses are identified as evangelists, that is all for Jewish people. The great multitude are just believers that have been killed during the tribulation. It is the church. What is being stated here is a complete ASSUMPTION based on a presupposition of a pre-trib rapture. It is just believers. Also, to say the church is not mentioned after Revelation 4 is nonsense. The church is being killed in the 5th seal. Saints are talked about left and and right after revelation 4. They are not described as tribulation saints. If they died after the rapture, they would not be in Heaven as they would have to wait for the 2nd resurrection. On top of this, the "church" is not The usual struggle here about martyrdom. Don't Christian's now pay that price in parts of the world? This sermon does not teach how show any difference between people now vs the tribulation will be saved. It would be wise to not separate the saints as Paul does not. Nor does Jesus.
The church rapture is at judgement day John 6 39-54 Jesus says at the Last day four times Please give Jesus a chance to explain It only takes 70 minutes to listen to Revelation
JESUS was NOT born in a manger. He was born in a stable or a grotto, THEN, AFTER HIS BIRTH, He was placed into the hay-filled MANGER, a feeding trough for animals.
From scripture, Jesus in our heart (The Holy Spirit) is shown as female. "My child, keep the commandment of your father, and do not disregard the instruction of your mother. Bind them on your heart continually; tie them upon your neck. When you walk, she will lead you, When you lie down, she will watch over you, and when you awake, she will converse with you." (Proverbs 6:20-22) "Wisdom is vindicated by her children." (Matthew 11:19) Scripture talks about two anointed ones and two being One. "These are the two anointed ones standing by the Lord of the whole earth.” (Zechariah 4:14) We are supposed to pray for God to deliver us from evil. This evil is having any flaw in regards to the Truth at all! We must believe in Jesus, The Truth. We must believe in all of The Truth based on scripture, no matter if it is what we have been taught over our whole lives. "Whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. For this reason I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand, and with reference to them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says, “You will listen carefully and will never understand, and you will look closely and will never perceive. For the heart of this people has become dull, and with their ears they hear with difficulty, and they have shut their eyes, so that they would not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.” (Matthew 13:12-15) We must be very humble and have open eyes and ears at all times for the mysteries that are being revealed to us right now.
00:33 that part used to scare the absolute crap out of me because I was in a church building with an echo and I couldn’t see what the crap was going on.
Does it ever bother you that every day of your life you are defying God? You know the word of God, so you have no excuse: 1 Timothy 2:12 - But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1 Corinthians 14:34 - Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 1 Corinthians 14:35 - And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 1 Timothy 2:11 - Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
