Regardless of when Jesus returns, those of you that love the LORD and have a relationship with him need more today then ever to get and stay even closer to him. Nothing in this world truly matters, u can't take it when u go and materialistic things can be replaced. We are getting close
I am a joint heir with him. He said many times we are brothers. He told Mary. Go tell my brothers I assend to my Father and your father to my God and your God. You also left out his blessed name. There is only one name given to men by which you must be saved. His name was Yahushua. The Father sent that name from heaven you know God's direct name is Yah as in halalouyah which means praise ye Yah. The name revealed to Moses was Yahuwah. The name of his son Yahushua means Yahu saves yes it is the Father that saves. His son was the offering, the lamb of God. Today many preachers have hid his name from the church they teach that this false God called jesus saves. The name Jesus is barley 350 years old do you think a name some man made up can really save. Do you really think names get translated what about Bengerman Netanyahu's Hebrew name Netanyahu's name is the same in every country of the world. Names do not translate. The fathers name has been removed from the Bible and replaced with Lord this was done 6800 times that should freak you out like it did me especially when I found that Lord in Hebrew was Baal. Yes Baal is the Hebrew word for Lord don't ever let that blasphemous name ever come come out of your mouth for Yahuwah again. When you see Lord in scripture say Yahuwah.
This was 4 1/2 yrs ago... a lot has happened since then! We’re getting closer every day to be with our Lord Jesus. Stay strong in Him & on His Promises & His Words. We’re never alone because He lives. 🙏🏼
I highly recommend tuning into Olive Tree Ministries with Jan Markell😀 Don Steward is a guest speaker in this circle from time to time. Nothing but truth teaching.🌹
Don Stewart is new to me and my first impressions is he is a good example of being HOT for Jesus or a passion for him and his beliefs, not cold or Luke warm and spat out like what Jesus says. second he is a good example of having the courage of his convictions and not afraid to speak out properly.
Jesus said, "If you love me, keep my commandments". Even demons believe and tremble, but we must keep the commandments of God because that's what true worship is all about.
1John3:23And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us. 24Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us.…

"..... We shall not all sleep but we will all be changed. Thank you so much. I've been saved since I was 7 and I'm 68. But life has thrown me something real similar to what Job got. I lost everything. I had it all. I guess I didn't stand like I thought I should have been able to when all this happened. Who am I fooling, I cursed God. It's going on for 8 years now. And it seems like God is a thousand miles away. And you got to know that the devil tries to convince that I've crossed a line and gone to far. I felt the Lord agree with you that I have not lost my salvation. I have struggled all my life though I have been a pastor and a prophetic psalmist. But you guys have encouraged me. I've never been as righteous as Job so I can't find solace in those scriptures. But I hold on to what I know.... As Kevin Prossh penned inverse: Though you slay me, I will serve you Lord. And I bow down and kiss the Son.
Store your treasures up in heaven, not here on this earth. You know the script. And if the end of all things is near, what good does it to have them anyway? I see a blessing, do you?
Yeah they seem awfully laid back considering they are discussing the "soon coming" end of all things as we know it, the complete transformation of millions of people to paradise, and the destruction of billions of lost people. Kinda makes you wonder if they really do believe what they are saying.
@@fairwarning4267 in a twinkling of an eye,,,,,, rapture word didn't exist when Our King roamed on this rock !!! Reread yours ! Rapture word first used around 18 47 I believe it was ?! Close
The thing that bothers me about the modern Christian ideology is that they leave crucial pieces of information out. You need to repent repent repent! You will not get into the kingdom of God without repentance. It’s not just believing in Jesus. You have to also be active in trying to strengthen your relationship/spirit/and knowledge. You cannot be a fair weather Christian and expect to be taken to paradise. God’s grace is wide, but I wouldn’t take a chance on that alone.
Actually, "Catherine," you are CLOSER to the truth of the matter than you realize. The church--as a Whole--has always been Spirit- ually LETHARGIC concerning the Process of SEEKING GOD through PRAYER. Scripture is CLEAR when it CONTINUALLY WARNS us of "FALLING AWAY," "APOSTACY," and "BACKSLID- ING." Todays Cnristian is NO DIFFERENT than the Israelites of the Old Testament, in that, we are EASILY DISTRACTED by our "Worldly Cares." and, "Turned Aside," chasing "IDOLS." Scripture provides CLUES all THROUGHOUT that GOD is calling forth a UNIQUE, and "PECULIAR" people. We can- NOT just "SIT ON THE FENCES," and watch life go by and ecpect to be REWARDED. But as I said, scripture WARNS us of this reality. It would take a LONG WINDED Dissertation to EXPLAIN; but there ARE a few verses that give us the IDEA. Take a look at Matt.251-13. This verse is largely either OVERLOOKED, or dismissed ALTOGETHER. The verse speaks of "10 Virgins." The word "Virgin" is a refer- ence to the "BORN-AGAIN church in general. Well, NOTICE-- HALF of them (Various Churches) failed to "KEEP THEIR LAMPS LIT." WHY---Why were the Lamps un- ABLE to Shed LIGHT? Because they were "OUT OF OIL." The OIL, here represents the "SPIRIT." or "PRESENCE" of the LORD'S Spirit WITHIN us. Well, OBVIOUSLY, this is referring to BELIEVERS who have be- come LAZY--they have become DULL in their SPIRITUAL LIVES. Olay, so, why do you think PAUL Warned all the Churches about "False (Watered-down) doctrines" that were being introduced into the FIRST churches? The VERY SAME PREDICIMENT has been existent in the Church ALL ALONG. There is a certain revelation in the BOOK of REVELATION that is NOT understood in the Church world, and I very much DOUBT you, or people reading this will RECEIVE this. In the 12TH chapter of Revelation we see the mention of a "WOMAN." We ALSO see the word, "The MANCHILD." Your Theologians "Out there," think that the "Woman" is ISRAEL, But HOW could this BE Israel? First of all it says, "A Great Sign in Heaven..." How does this APPLY to ISRAEL? Answer: It does NOT! The verse goes ON to say, "... Clothed with the SUN, with the MOON under her feet.. This appears to be a reference to GOD, and Jesus Christ. As the verse continues, we read, ""...and a CROWN of 12- STARS..." That "12-Stars," is a reference to the 12 Apostles. Remember, this a the book of REVELATIONS--we are NO LONGER talking about Matthew, Mark, Luke, etc. Revelat- ions is dealing SPECIFICALLY with ESCHATOLOGY--The "END-TIMES." Therefore, EVERYTHING is a PROPHETIC View of THINGS TO COME. But NOTICE, this "WOMAN" is "PREGNANT." So--when was Israel Pregnant. And this--OBVIOUSLY--is NOT a reference to Mary...THAT makes NO SENSE as you read on; it just does NOT FIT! So what is this "Woman" Pregnant with? I'm glad you ASKED: This is where the "MANCHILD" comes in. The Manchild canNOT be Christ, because THAT would make the Woman Mary--but like I SAID--it just does NOT fit. The "Woman" is the Overall Born-again church world. The Manchild is "birthed" OUT of her. The Woman is that Part of the Church that did NOT keep their "LAMPS" lit. The "MANCHILD" is that part of the Church that remained VIG- ILANT; She KEPT the "OIL" in her LAMP. But--like I said--MOST of you will REJECT this. But you will One day, and one day SOON, see these things UNFOLDING. Just keep PRAYING. STAY ALERT! No EXAGGERATION--we are in the LAST of the "LAST DAYS." GOD Bless you all!
Also : Shall grace abound that sin abound. God forbid. Jesus Christ said," Unless a man is born again he shall not enter into the kingdom of God. By the Spirit + Holy Spirit. The Water= this is the entire study of the Holy Bible. The Living Water is the Entire Holy Bible. In our heart , in our mind and with all our spirit. Love is a verb. Its a action word. Like a devoted marriage with commitment . Jesus Christ gave His life. So we give God our life. By choice. Because of our love for God. AGAPE= UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Amen.
*JESUS is COMING SOON!* I'm fairly new to the area where I live now and, about 7-8 months ago, I was out riding my bike along a spot that I am not familiar with; I felt that "not home" feeling, like this is 'alien' to me. I did not like it but the thought just hit my mind *"Jesus is..."* and, as soon as I said that to myself, I looked up to my right and a big sign in someones lawn said *"COMING SOON!"* - I quickly burst into laughter at the timing of this. :) I was trying to tell myself "Well, Jesus is with me." Like, He is with me no matter where I go, but I didn't get to finish the line because the "COMING SOON" caught my eye right after I said to myself "Jesus is..." I spoke to my mother on the phone and told her about it. She said *"That's confirmation!"* _and it was then I just remembered that _*_I asked Jesus two days before this if it was REALLY Him_*_ that said _*_"Soon, child, soon."_*_ to my mother some months back_ (she got that word in her heart when she was wondering if it really was pre-trib rapture or not). *I wanted Him to confirm it, if He could.* Looks like that *is* the confirmation! :) I went back to look at the sign out of curiosity the next day, to see what type of business put it up. I was almost 100% sure it'd be some type of multi-family unit being built there in the future; maybe a store, or business of another type? I get to the sign and it says it's from a church called *Kingdom Life!* :) I've never seen any church called *"Kingdom Life"* in my 41 years on this planet. So the "chance" of this happening and the sign being from *Kingdom Life - COMING SOON!* ? Yeah, this is it. :) - Another experience I had was a dream (last year), and this was used to confirm *another* word my mother received from the Lord only 1-2 hours before: I was walking down the street at night with about 7-8 other guys. We came to a stop on a corner of two streets, standing around waiting, for what reason I did not know, and out of no where one of the guys in the group started singing *"~~Lord... lift... us... up ... where... we... belong~~"* in this low, slow, monotone type of voice, while he was crouched on the ground and looking up toward the sky. I started laughing really hard because I thought he was joking around and doing it for 'shock value' in front of strangers. I was bent over laughing *REALLY* hard, so hard that my stomach started to hurt; I woke up immediately after this and was laughing out loud. I told my mother about it, to which she told me that she was sitting at her computer, only a hour before, wondering if she should get life insurance yet (she's almost 70 now), and plan for funeral, etc. in the future. Then a thought entered her mind about how Enoch was taken up without dying, and she wished that could happen to her. This involuntary voice in her mind said to her: "Well, there is the rapture?" and she said "OH YEAH! I never put those two together!" But she kind of shrugged it off eventually and went back to surfing the web. So I told her my dream and she told me what happened to her. We laughed and were shocked! Something like this has *never* happened to me before. I am not a big dreamer, and rarely remember my dreams! For me to have such a dream clearly hinting at the rapture, the same hour or so after my mother got a word concerning the rapture? Clear confirmation from the Lord. So that's *TWO* words from the Lord and *TWO* confirmations! As I always say: "Soon" is subjective. We must be careful not to mix our own "soon" up with the Lords' "soon." Some consider "soon" to be a week, others consider "soon" to be 6 months, others take it as 2-3 years, and so on. Either way, it's in our lifetime! :)
The prophets from the old Testament on through have spoken about many events. The word of God tells us about so many of them yet to come. This whole concept of any day now is the same thing they have all been saying all of my 59 years. We are to be sharing the Gospel of Jesus and leading by example. The message of Pre-Tribulation rapture does not make sense at all. Jesus could come back at any moment if He wanted to ignore what the Word says. This selfish leaving early and leaving the lost behind is just an evil plan. Matthew 24:29-31. Start there and research for yourself.
@@billthompson2860 Believe what you want, I am talking about experiences I actually had with confirmations. You can choose not to believe me if you want, I ask you pray to Jesus and ask Him if I am lying or deluded. I've no problem with that. If He hasn't showed you then you're not meant to be shown is all I can say. I've never had anything like these words and confirmations happen to me, and I'm 41 years old. I've been born again since 1996. This time is way different from even 10 years ago.
If the Word says it believe it. Your situation was real and I am not doubting that. What I am saying men want a Pre-Tribulation rapture so they create one. Question anyone and everyone who speaks for God. Read the word and research for yourself in prayer. You will understand that many things we were told and believe are NOT in the Word. Don't get upset if you come to the same conclusion I did. How can so many Theologians have it wrong. How could they all say the same thing is the bigger question. They are repeating what they were taught not read in the Spirit for themselves. I'm just a guy like you who gets confirmations just like you and Pre-Tribulation rapture is man made and bogus. Regardless of where it is exactly, it's NOT a rescue on the good ship lollypop exit stage right. We are not appointed to God's Wrath and we won't be. Seek and you really will find how much Satan has influenced Seminaries and students, Pastors, preachers, teachers and us. Look where the church was before the girl who had a dream. Read about 1830 and why and how. Let me warn you it is going to hurt.
@@billthompson2860 you got it dude you're right there will be no Rapture he tells us let the Christians will be murdered at the end because of him just like he was so how's that going to happen if we are raptured he tells us to endure to the end this Rapture is taken out of context it's not a Rapture it is the second time it happened in the twinkle of an eye but they're taking it as a rapture I'm glad you brought this up people need to study their Bible more keep up the good work
@@billthompson2860 I actually did question my pre-trib rapture belief one time and asked the Lord if I was being deceived somehow? Only 1-2 days later (no coincidence) I came across verses in Revelation, compared them to what Paul said and Jesus said, and it clearly points to the Church being in heaven while the great tribulation happens down on Earth. Check out 4) , 7) and 8) in my "pre-trib post" I made there; those I found which matched up with what Paul wrote (and some of what Jesus said, concerning the resurrection, where Martha assumed there'd only be one, yet Jesus corrected her, in John 11:24-26). Point 4) in my pre-trib post above is backed by Paul claiming that *the [born again] Church is the Bride of Christ,* as we see him explain this in Ephesians 5:23-32. Notice in verse 32, Paul writes that it's a *GREAT MYSTERY* concerning Christ and the Church (being married)? That means it's a literal thing in the Spirit, not just figurative only. *So, clearly, the "wife" written about in Revelation is definitely the [born again] Church,* which is quite distinct from the "tribulation saints" who turn to Jesus only during the tribulation, *after* the Church is raptured. These "tribulation saints" (seen in Rev. 7:9-14 -- also in Rev. 6:9-11) are resurrected in Rev. 20:4 -> and again notice that John only sees them (who were beheaded during great tribulation), yet John *DOES NOT* write that he saw "all souls in Christ" standing there for the first resurrection? This is clear: there are two different groups - one sitting on thrones to judge (likely the Church -> 1 Corinthians 6:2-3), and the other group standing for the first resurrection -> those who were beheaded in the tribulation period. One must understand *dispensationalism* and learn about *rightly dividing* because not all scripture is meant for one single group. God has _dispensed_ different judgments, covenants and words upon different people throughout time, and it is no different for the Church compared to other groups.
1John3:23And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us.
The LORD always protects his people. Noah and the Ark Lot and his family The plagues of Egypt Why would it be any different for the Tribulation? God is our protection and our strength. He always helps in times of trouble. So we will not be afraid even if the earth shakes, or the mountains fall into the sea, even if the oceans roar and foam, or the mountains shake at the raging sea. Selah -Psalm 46:1-3
@Pond3r Thiz it's not 200 yr old nonsense, what's nonsense is the Church having to be here during the times of Jacob's Trouble, Jacob is Israel. Read 1 Thes 4: 16-18, how do you comfort one another with these word's if it refers to the tribulation. Think! The saint's under the Throne, who are they? Their the saint's that came out of the Tribulation, the one's who got saved during the Great Tribulation. The one's God gave the Anti Christ permission to make war with and overcome them, their not the Church, the Church won't be here. Read your Bible it's all there.
@Pond3r Thiz if the church is on earth during tribulation what is the point of the two witnesses? The word rapture is in 1 Thessalonians 13, “caught up”. So what does this verse mean if it doesn’t mean the church will be raptured?
@@plumbmaster7022 he's is coming it's in God's time not men's. He is coming back soon and you will remember when I warned you. Most prophecies have been fulfilled already look at all the natural disasters and the lies the pope has been saying about God plus many other bad things that are going on in the world. Time is close give your soul to Jesus. God bless.
I love Jesus and want to go with him. At the same time, I’m somewhat afraid and start to Judge my own Salvation. It seems that many more are left behind, than taken. I recognize the horror of that, As the days of Noah! I’m in Constant prayer....
Victoria have you read psalm ch 139 v 23-24. Also psalm ch 71 v 1-2. And last two. Psalm ch56 v 3-4. Roman ch 10 v 9-10. Those verses have helped me I read them as much as possible. But still working to get closer to Jesus. God bless you. And the you will be in my prayer.
Fellow Christians my husband and I ( Azucena ) are a believer of Jesus Christ! I can't wait tor our Lord Jesus Christ to come"! ( See I Corinthians 1) AMEN!
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, modern Dispensational Theology falls apart, and the pretrib removal of the Church falls with it.
@@fairwarning4267 Dispensational Theology must keep the Church and Israel separated to make their Two Peoples of God doctrine work. Within the original "classic" version of the doctrine, they have to get the Church off the planet so that God can go back and deal with Israel again under the Old Covenant system. My wife and I attended a Dispensational church body for several years. During that whole time we never heard a Sunday School lesson, or a sermon on the New Covenant. Some of those promoting the system also allow those who reject Christ to speak from their pulpits, and from their television programs. They are ignoring 1 John 2:22-23.

We can tell we are living in the last days. Just as Jesus said. The gospel must be preached unto the whole world. Now every home in the world is recieving the message through TV, radio satellite. Which was impossible some years ago
My dad gave 2mil to help Jews go back to their homeland, was over 6yrs ago. He passed but he never gave up on Israel. He gave all away and god miraculously provided for him in his last few years.

Hello, I’m watching this on Monday, February 6, 2023. I’ve very recently starting following Pastor Greg on RU-vid. The poster below me was watching this video 41/2 years ago, and it was originally taped 8 years ago! Imagine the changes in the world , particularly in the United States in the year 2023. The fulfillment of Biblical prophecy today is AMAZING. It’s coming together at such a rapid rate, that it’s alarming yet EXCITING for true Christians. This country is going down the tubes SO MUCH now, and we have become a joke to the rest of the world… President Obama..now we have Joe Biden!! Thanks to all the leftist “WOKE “ Democrats who have become the face of the evil “progressive “ party in this country. We have become a “byword” to other nations {DEUT-28:37}. Jesus can return at any time and I pray that I am ready🙏🏻 This country is not even considered a “Superpower “ by many nations. Sad to say, California is a mess.. so corrupt
What l had to learn was not to hate on Isreal.. If it wasn't for there actions.. We wouldn't have salvation.. We wouldn't have the word of God shared around the world.. God knew what was going to happen and Jesus understood that He would have to be the teacher and the sacrifice..
Robert Sheetz I would say that he knew the beginning from the end and that this was always the plan not just God reacting to us. God is outside of time so he can see it all at the same time. He spoke and there was the sun, now that’s power but likely not even God breaking a sweat.
Rosalie don't believe everything they are saying because we are the Hebrew Isrealite people's the Black Hebrew Isrealites Jews . Most of the Jewish coverts people's live in Isreal are not the real Hebrew Isrealites Jews the Black Hebrew Isrealites people's that are called Negroes people's are the real Hebrew Isrealites people's how the Jewish coverts people's live in Isreal Repent and turn to God can be saved also and that goes for every. nation's that a accept Jesus Christ can be saved.But the Hebrew Isrealite people's are God chosen people's.we are from the tribe of Judah and the lion .we are Jacob seeds by Blood every one else is from the promise that God made with our Forefather Abraham they are telling a lie about God gotten his chosen people's.they read Isaiah the 43 chapter and read Isaiah the 11 chapter and the 11 and 12 verses.These men needs to read the Bible both of them are false phophets and blind of the word of God . will gather his chosen Elect people's from the four corners of world where we were scattered around the world and will bring us back to the land which he gave to our four father . men's are not teaching God words right and They should be careful about what they saying. Those white Gentiles People's that live in that land or not the real Hebrew Isrealites Jews. They are imposter from Europe and Poland and the Cascade mountains and Russia and and other places. Read Revaluation chapter 3: and the 9 and 10 verses and see what Jesus Christ say what they People's are. They are white Gentiles people's.and not the real Hebrew Isrealites Jews.I hope you will learn something God bless you in your search.
These guys don't know anything about Bible phophecy at all sorry to tell you this.They don't any knowledge of Bible phophecy at all.

Well...they kinda take scripture and twist some of it to fit their comfortable and painless north american lifestyle and audience. Bit of ear tickling goin on there.. Read Rev 7-13; and 13-7. Then tell me if the dangerous doctrine of pretrib rapture holds water. Dangerous you say? Will you take the mark because you havent been raptured yet? And you or your kids are getting pretty hungry..? And prison or beheading is the next option the government give you? 1 Corinthians 15:52 says at the LAST trumpet, not 1st or 2nd..23rd..LAST. And NOWHERE does it speak of a second helping of second coming. Thats some kinda real horse hockey..
I have a struggle with believing that Christians who practice sin, enjoying it, etc, while the rest of us suffer, persecuted, rejected, etc. until the time of the rapture. These individuals get to go while we had to crucify our flesh. They received all kind of warning and ignored it and yet get to go.
I know who Chuck Smith is. An awesome man of God and a wonderful Bible teacher! God rest his soul. Look him up. You will be blessed. Blue Letter Bible and others carry his teachings.
Please, Come Now Lord Jesus and Take ME HOME TO Heaven to also be with You Forever, More ? ! Don’t Hesitate I Love You and Need You, So Also Right Now ! ! LVU, Ellen
You should learn about Islam. If you really love Jesus . Because Jesus preached as a messenger and his true message was corrupted by evil people so you need to read Quran inorder to meet with your love Jesus .
This video was produced 5 years ago...its like reading the headlines! Birthpains upon our land and they are getting greater! Get right and believe in Christ. These days are a GIFT to get our spiritual house in order. WE MUST SPREAD THE WORD OF OUR COMING KING, not shelter in place!!!!!!
Be nice to have another one now with all the cov 19 and technical stuff we have. The Chinese is building pritty scary stuff. Thank you for putting this on. I have a disability I understand when it is explained to me like this, I get so tuned in. Lord bless you.
We should not be concerned when the rapture will occur because everybody has their own interpretation of it. Don’t take comfort in knowing that the rapture is coming but rather be vigilant and awake. Taking comfort will catch you off guard. But if you’re vigilant, you will be ready for anything that has to happen.
@Randy Reneau yes I agree!!!! Hillary Clinton would have been the better choice!!!! I really wished Barack Obama could have had four more years... Now there's a man who was all red white and blue 👍💯
It seems like we are in the end times, but we may not be! No man knoweth the hour... so why are we so focused on this? It’s not for us to know, only to keep watch!
Revelations 13: 9-10 "If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints." Be ready!
Pastor Greg, please tell your friend about The IRGC, Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps. Please let me know what he says about this group. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ Amen and Amen.
I keep the Commandments by the power of his grace ,and I don’t even know I’m doing it ,that’s what most people don’t understand ,the law is not done away ,though we are not under the law we are not living the letter of the law ,we are living the love of the letter. That’s why they’re called Gods ten love commands, and it cannot be done without the active force called Grace. Jesus the Holy Spirit lives the life through us and for us ,if we are willing to yield.
Well this was 5 years ago, and a lot has changed since then, (economy, military, jobs, etc are all up) so he may have to upgrade his book. But this gentlemen is very easy to understand and makes one of the most difficult (at least to me) book in the Bible to understand. However, only God knows what will truly happen. Yes it is wise to be watchful and aware, but I will put my faith in God only. Amazing video though.....
I always enjoy listening You men as you unfold the Eschatology of the end times. I am amazed at the number of people that don’t want to hear about it, or say ya ya ya people have been saying that forever. I believe it. I receive it with an open mind and heart. God wants us to know!! Thank you. Carol Sveiven ( Watchman on the wall ). I have never in the 59 years I’ve been a Christian talked to people like I do now!!
I would have really enjoyed listening to this but my ears and stereo blew a quarter way into message. Greg my brother, Please learn how to use your microphone. I had to constantly raise and lower my volume levels because you kept leaning in and out speaking over you guest. You are too loud to enjoy today. God Bless the hearing impaired.
Abby, Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Video title should have been ""Everything you need to know about end times"" Video time about a minute to explain salvation and rapture. bang that's it... All you need to know.. Going vertical soon. Hallelujah. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
I'm left with 2 questions I am trying to solve. 1. He mentioned kids being saved because they are sanctified because of their believing parent (1 Corinthians 7:14) I wonder if that applies to husbands too? He is saved/raptured because he is sanctified through me? 2. Also, during the millennial reign, do we that come back with him ever die or are we immortal?
Dear Brothers Greg and Don...Thank you for the work you have done, are doing and will continue to do until our Lord Jesus catches us up into Heaven to be with Him forever! I truly appreciate all both of you have done throughout the years. Like yourselves, I was born again as the result of hearing the Word of God spoken by my dear Pastor Chuck Smith from 1971 when I returned from Vietnam to a world I no longer belonged in or felt a part of...I was broken and didn't know how to fix myself so I hated the entire world for what had happened to me...until I saw Jesus Love in Chuck's smile after I had attended one of Chuck's morning services in "the tent"...smile. That morning the Holy Spirit ministered to my broken heart through the REAL love I saw and felt in Chuck's smile and through his words. Something I remember from way back then was Chuck explaining what my "sin" actually was and why I couldn't have a relationship with myself, my fellow men nor my Savior and Lord Jesus Christ as long as I had that "sin" within my heart and soul and that the ONLY way I could ever be "clean" in the sight of the Lord God was if I was "covered" in the "sacrificed blood" of the Lamb of God Who, being God, made Himself a man of flesh and blood so that He could be that one "acceptable blood sacrifice" that could cleanse me of my "sin" and cover me so that I could come before the Living God once again covered by the blood of Jesus! Chuck explained what that "original sin" was and how it had been passed down throughout the centuries of mankind as inherited in my genes from my original earthly father and mother, Adam and Eve. He explained what that "sin" actually was and why it was necessary for mankind to bear after Adam and Eve's "turning away from God" in the garden and the curse of "death" that we had inherited from what Adam and Eve had done in the garden. God explained this "curse of sin" to them at that time and also explained it to Chuck to explain to me so I UNDERSTOOD what that "sin" was and the ONLY WAY to rid myself of it and become "clean" before the eyes of my God once again. This is one of the things that God used through Chuck and others like yourself to furnish me with the KNOWLEDGE of the Word as given through God's Holy Spirit in the form of our Bible. This was the amazing thing about Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa...God taught us through men like Chuck and yourselves so we could UNDERSTAND and KNOW...and then God could use me, you and all the others who have been led to the Lord through our wonderful Pastor Chuck. Why? So, in KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the God through His Word...we could minister to other's need for "SALVATION" through the Blood of the Lamb so God could use us to lead other's back to His Loving Heart as we had been led through Chuck! We were truly blessed through Chuck Smith's loving heart with TEACHING OF THE WORD so we could UNDERSTAND exactly what God's Word was telling us, what we all needed...SALVATION THROUGH THE SACRIFICED BLOOD OF THE LAMB, JESUS CHRIST! This is my point in writing this to you and to whomever else read's these words. I see something lacking in the Body of Christ today. I see servants of God, like yourselves, leading lost souls back to God through Jesus...BUT, I see something I perceive as "lacking"...making the sinners UNDERSTAND exactly what "sin" is, that it is in everyone of those who are still "lost" and that it is something that our loving God can have nothing to do with and can't have in His presence. We need to tell those who are lost exactly what this "sin" is and every form which it takes in our lives to separate us from God causing us to become vessels He cannot use. We need to tell those sinners that we all have this "sin" within us, exactly what it is and why God cannot accept us back into His fold until it is cleansed from us through the Blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. We ALL need to emphasize this in our words to the sinners so they UNDERSTAND exactly what the "sin" is and how it is the cause of our separation from God and that it needs to be TOTALLY CLEANSED from us before we can be acceptable before God. We need to EXPLAIN this to the sinners in words they understand and through the Holy Spirit or it will fall on deaf ears. I also feel that the Body of Christ, the Church, needs to understand this as well and it's not being preached anymore in a way that shows how vital it is that we all DAILY pray that God cleanses us of our INIQUITY so we can become and continue as those "good vessels" of the Lord. To those who have never had a relationship with God, these words are like a foreign language and it's hard for those without knowledge of the Word to UNDERSTAND exactly what this "sin" is and why it is so important to cleanse us of this "sin" and KEEP OURSELVES CLEANSED by daily asking God to help us rid ourselves of those things in our lives (ie. "sin") which we still love and are unwilling to separate ourselves from, INIQUITY. Those without Jesus in their lives don't have any way of UNDERSTANDING what this is and how it is possible to desire to keep it in our lives making us unusable by God, an "UNYIELDING VESSEL". I see this in the Body of Christ, the Church today! It doesn't seem like the Children of God are interested in giving up those things in our lives (ie. "sin") that keep us from being who God wants us to be so we can explain this to those who are still lost and without Jesus in their lives. It doesn't seem to me that this is being preached any longer and if it is, it is only as a passing thought and not with emphasis. (CONTINUED PAGE 2)
(PAGE 2) It needs to be EXPLAINED in words people can UNDERSTAND that each of us needs to DAILY ask God to CLEANSE US OF OUR SIN, INIQUITY. I think that too many "Christians" think that just through praying a simple "sinner's prayer" that it automatically gets rid of all the "sin" in our lives, but too many of us retain those things we "love" which keep us from being used by God. I don't think that this is being emphasized today in the way it should be. I don't think that people UNDERSTAND the meaning of most of what we tell them, even in the words they say along with those leading them in the "sinner's prayer". I don't think that they UNDERSTAND the necessity of giving up EVERYTHING in our lives that keep us separated from God. I think that this is something that isn't being emphasized in the Church today, and I didn't see it in your video. Yes, I do believe that God hears our words and knows our hearts when we are led in the "sinner's prayer", but I really don't think that people UNDERSTAND exactly what INIQUITY is and that it is those things in our lives that we don't wish to separate ourselves from. If the "UNBELIEVER" is simply led in a simply prayer thinking that this is all he or she has to do to be cleansed of "sin" then they aren't being told the whole story and I see this as a problem. If these people don't understand that they have to give up these "unclean things" in their lives then they don't really UNDERSTAND exactly what "sin" is and the importance of GIVING UP ALL OUR "SINS" BEFORE GOD to be truly CLEANSED. I see this as possibly confusing to the newly "saved" individual which will not cause him or her not to be truly "SAVED", BUT...I see it as a "tripping stone" in their walk with God. If they aren't told what they have to give up, how can they give it up? I don't see emphasis being placed on explaining exactly what "SIN" is and why ALL forms of "sin" need to be cleansed from us so we can be acceptable in the sight of the Lord. Maybe I'm confused? I'm not sure, that's why I'm writing this now. Shouldn't this be an emphasis in our message to the unbelievers? Don't we have an OBLIGATION to our Lord to EXPLAIN to unbelievers exactly what "SIN" and "INIQUITY" is so they UNDERSTAND exactly what they need to be TOTALLY WILLING to give up and rid themselves from to become truly BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT? I didn't hear this in your message in this video. I didn't hear it in your "sinner's prayer". It seems that it is not given the importance it needs to be given so the unbeliever can UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS TO "REPENT". Maybe I'm missing something, but I didn't hear this "emphasis" in your message nor in your prayer. Please understand that I am in no way "rebuking" nor "chastising" either of you. That is not my intent. What my intent is that I see something lacking in our message to the unbeliever that might be misleading to him or her because of their lack of UNDERSTANDING. I'm pretty sure that most of us, even BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS, have things in our lives that would be considered INIQUITY in the eyes of our Lord. I also think that if we fail to DAILY OFFER THEM UP TO THE LORD and pray for HIS CLEANSING OF THOSE SINS FROM OUR LIVES, none of us can be that yielded vessel that God wants and needs us to be. If "BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS" can have INIQUITY in their lives, then likewise UNBELIEVERS would likely have as much or more in theirs. The difference is that we BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS should KNOW and UNDERSTAND exactly what those things in our lives are which negatively influences our relationship with Jesus, the unbeliever does not have this knowledge or understanding so how can he or she even come close to understanding exactly what it is that he or she has to give up or is praying to give up when they are led in the simple "feel good" "sinner's prayer'? If someone who has no background in Christianity nor the Bible is told that all he or she has to do is say some words in the form of the "sinner's prayer" and that's all that is necessary to cleanse them of their sins and make them whole again and aren't told exactly what INIQUITY is prior to their simply repeating some words, how can they UNDERSTAND exactly what it is that they MUST be willing to GIVE UP...TOTALLY? I understand that God knows each of our hearts and that if we truly ask for God to cleanse us He hears our prayers and answers them...BUT, if someone doesn't actually UNDERSTAND what it is that they need to give up, how can they truly exorcise it from their lives? Shouldn't we EMPHASIZE exactly what "SIN" is while witnessing to the unbeliever prior to asking him or her to "repeat after me" and lead them in the "sinner's prayer" so he or she will UNDERSTAND exactly what it is that God wants them to ask His cleansing of? Maybe I'm nit picking, but it seemed that when I first heard the message of Salvation from Pastor Chuck, he explained what this "sin" stuff was and how important it was for us to be willing to give up ALL of it, even those things that we most "enjoyed". In fact, he explained that it was exactly those things we "enjoyed" most in our lives that was causing our separation from God. The same was true in ALL the revivals of the past where so many souls were saved...SIN and INIQUITY was preached. It was explained in a way that the unbeliever UNDERSTOOD that he had these things in his life and that unless he or she was willing to TOTALLY give them up to the Lord, they could not be saved. The story of the rich young ruler in the Bible is a good example of this. When he was told that he had to give up EVERYTHING to follow the Lord, he went away sad because there were things in his life (ie. "SIN") that he was unwilling to give up so he couldn't come to God with a truly REPENTANT heart. I see this as a possible "stumbling block" to the person who is simply led in the "sinner's prayer" without being informed that it's necessary to GIVE UP ALL THEIR SIN AND INIQUITY to be acceptable before the Lord. How many people turn away from the Lord almost immediately after they come to the Lord because they find that there is INIQUITY in their lives they, like the rich young ruler in the Bible story, are unwilling to give up to the Lord? It seems to be that there is an emphasis placed upon the "feel good" message today without the emphasis on REPENTANCE and asking our God to rid us of ALL our INIQUITY so we can be ACCEPTABLE in His sight. If it's true that God can't have SIN in His presence then wouldn't that mean that if we refuse to give up even what we consider a minor "sin" it would make our prayer unacceptable in the sight of God? If the sinner isn't told exactly what sin is, how can he ask God to cleanse him of it if he isn't actually willing to give it up to the Lord? Wouldn't that be what the definition of INIQUITY is? Isn't INIQUITY that part of our lives that is considered by God as immoral and unacceptable? Doesn't the Bible teach that if we have what we consider the "least of sin" in our lives it is the same as having what we consider the worst of sin in our lives? Isn't ALL sin considered the same in the eyes of the Lord? If it is, shouldn't this be explained to the unbeliever before he is told to simply follow after me and repeat the "sinner's prayer" and you are SAVED and that's all you have to do to be "SAVED"? Maybe it's just me being anal about this, but doesn't it seem that God wants us to UNDERSTAND what our OBLIGATIONS are when we are told to take up OUR CROSS and follow after Him? I apologize if it's just me and I somehow missed your explanation and it included this message. i would appreciate your explanation concerning what I consider a lack of emphasis and explanation of exactly what "SIN" is and the importance of totally cleansing ourselves on a daily basis, but especially when we ask God's forgiveness when we repeat the words of the "sinner's prayer". Again, thank you both for all you have done, are doing and will continue to do for God until Jesus returns to take us all home for eternity...smile...
To Don Stewart - I just saw another video of yours and your hair is cut... what an awesome improvement...thank you for that ..it makes your information much easier to receive...
Part of me wishes for a Mid Trib so that I can witness the awesome, literal sense of the word, of God's prophecy manifesting itself. Part of me hopes in pre trib because I don't wanna experience it! Haha
The only ones saved alive during the tribulation is the 144 thousand Jews! All else are saved will be those that were beheaded for the sake of Christ and not denying Him as Lord!
InHisCare Always yes those 144 thousand will come to know our Lord Jesus Christ after the so called man of peace (Satan) turns on them and forces everyone to take the mark which condemns their souls to ETERNAL DAMNATION.DONT TAKE THE MARK-CHIP PEOPLE- READ THE BIBLE before its TOO LATE!!!
@InHisCareAlways This is Jehovah Witness theology. It is best to look at the totality of the scripture to answer this and not look at 1 verse to come to conclusions because the scripture should not contradict itself. Our bible is not the Quran.
@@jamieneligan3331 In the Torah it is promised that God will make a new covenant with the house of Isreal. He will write his law on our hearts and minds. He will pour out his spirit. (Holy Spirit). The new covenant like all covenant is sprinkled with the blood of a sacrifice. The old with lambs blood and the NEW with Chrsit blood ONCE AND FOR ALL. There is no 3rd covenant. The Torah is accurate however the Jews did not recognize there king. The old testament is the new testament concealed and the new testament is the old testament revealed. The Quran refutes that Jesus was even crucified. They write on the dome of the rock that Allah has NO son. Which is true. Allah doesn't but Jehovah the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob does. The Quran which I READ is a false abomination to GOD and is so inaccurate that it gets the trinity wrong saying Father, Son and Mary. The Muslims claim they are part of the Scriptures yet they do not even read the old testament (Torah). They do not read the psalms, Proverbs, prophets and even the biblical themes they do steal is some flawed version. The king of kings is Christ Jesus the Son of God the high priest the one that was slain for our sins and risen to be seated at the right hand of GOD. In the Quran Allah hates the one to come who calls himself the king of kings. Do not even put the Unholy Quran in the same sentence.
Fast Keto Prime it’s clear who is whom, may u find peace in ur heart. And there is only one king of kings and the son of Mary is his messenger mini peace and blessings be upon them and when my Messiah returns you shall know the truth🤲🏽✌🏽🥰🥰❤️
I agree, my niece introduced me to Greg last month, God bless him, he talkes way to much about things not related to the word. I want to hear the word.
This is comforting, but what about rather than 2 comings there is a tribulation period christians will endure when the beast will cause trial on the entire Earth, then Jesus returns with His saints and collects believers from the four winds (His return and literal salvation, if it were not for his shortening this time, even the elect might be deceived): this return is when the rapture occurs...ALL christians are removed at this time to eternal life, and then the wrath of God, a separate event, which christians have been delivered from, will fall upon the wicked who remain. Matthew 24, Daniel 11, Revelation 9 and these passages you mention all fit and are explained by this view.
What about the 10 virgins? Only 5 went with the bridegroom , and the other 5 with lamps and little oil were left behind. But all 10 were virgins who knew the Lord. Why were they left behind?
Exactly 🎯 they were not ready. This pastor said if you are backsliding you can be save? So averyone can be doing , living how they please far from God, and be save. 😕confuse. We have to be prepared for anyday. Living in God John 15 We have to have a intimate relationship with Gos, Jesus and Holy Spirit. Have our life in order each day, oil in our life.
The 5 who has no oil in their lamp, their lamps were empty inside. I believe the oil represents the Holy Spirit. There are Christians today who loosely belive in Christianity but do not have the Holy Spirit inside them
4:42 = procrastination....please people DO NOT put off until tomorrow what you should DO today❣️The Lord God LOVES you and doesn't want anyone to parish❣️🙏🏻
Fantastic discussion! It would be great if you two could get together now and have this same discussion! I wonder about children during the rapture as well. Maybe since children under the age of accountability will rapture, maybe the same applies if like during the flood. Those that were not in the Ark perished in the flood. That included children because if their parents didn't believe in the God of Noah, they weren't on the Ark. I have heard the comparison that Enoch represents the church being taken before the global judgement came. Noah and his family represents the remnant of Israel that that will be protected through the wrath of the 7-year Tribulation period. God Bless
Lord, please come get us. We are living under tyrannical rule in Washington State, as we speak. Our churches are closed down indefinitely and our governor is trying to require phone technology so he can forcibly quarantine and remove us from our home. These are emergency laws on our books, and no court will help us. There is no court helping enforce our Constitutional rights. This video reminds us that we are in unprecedented times where the end of the church age seems at hand. Lord Jesus, come! Please protect the Church until You do.
I'm convinced of a pre-trib rapture! It's the only one that comes together in the Word...I believe. The partial rapture theory cannot be true. Either you have the Holy Spirit who is the "seal of the promise" or you don't. Every believer has the Holy Spirit equally...even though some believers don't give themselves entirely to the Spirit. You can't get more of the Holy Spirit but you can give more of yourself to Him.
@@paulpeterson8212 It was not a double portion of the Holy Spirit. It was a double portion of the ministry of Elijah. It is very specific that it was the spirit of Elijah and not the Holy Spirit. (Also, notice the small "s" rather than the capital "S" when referring to the Holy Spirit.)
@@johnotto4931 Except that it all changed after Christs' death and resurrection. Have you read Acts? The Gospel wasn't even known until after Jesus' resurrection!
if jesus died for us and couldnt escape tribulation and the christians that where killed in the collosium of rome. for beleiving what makes you so confident we will escape the tribulation do you not want to die for christ? other people in diffrent countries like china will and do the rapture is a nice thought but prepare your self and strap in just incase we all go threw the bumpy ride before his return
@@johnotto4931 It amazes me how so many people SEEK to suffer, thinking it is noble and will earn brownie points with God! It is not scriptural. Even Jesus said that if they won't receive you, flee to another place. Of course, the apostle Paul went to Rome knowing that it could be his death, but that was because he KNEW the Holy Spirit told him to go! Walking purposely towards death without the Holy Spirit saying so, is stupid and deserving of an untimely death. Following the Spirit is the key to obedience, not seeking martyrdom. I'm convinced that many have died in vain by doing so!
Pastor Greg Laurie, for the efficacy of your audience, would you be graceful enough to explain 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4, since you and Don Stewart have convinced your audience that the Harpazo happens before the gran tribulation. thanks! God bless..
im just curious, as a follower of Jesus and believer of what God wrote through Paul. how may books is there , or do we need on the Rapture? i even have a member of my family , Grand Father inlaw that wrote a book about the second coming of our Lord. i hope and pray its soon anyway. May God bless us and keep calling more and more to HImself. ❤
