Evidences for a Pre-Trib Rapture | Lee Brainard 

He teaches false doctrine. There is no pre-tribulation’s rapture.

​@@teriter5712how much baby food should churches stockpile so our babies dont starve in the trib?

@@marleinsteinmetz5056 Babies and children under the age of accountability will be rescued before the tribulation. Recall the baby that David had with Uriah's wife Bathsheba. 2 Samuel 12:23 "But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”

@@teriter5712 If pre trib is not true then sadly Jesus is a liar! simple as that! Jesus not only promises his church will not endure wrath but will also not endure the hour of temptation that will come upon the whole world (99% of peer reviewed theologians say that means the final tribulation)...MY JESUS is NOT a LIAR!!!

After revelation 4 the church is only mentioned in heaven point one, point two, the first three things that the saints have to go through break the first three promises to the church. It’s time for people to repent from call God a liar.

That sounds funny. He is a man. Phew yes i can see that.

Zero evidence for Exodus and Moses, but Christians are too smug to actually check the archeological record, Dude. These prehistoric myths of 3500 years ago are without the slightest evidence, yet one billiom people will die for their trust in this myth. Please read that fine print on your spiritual plane ticket before the 2000th Easter in 2033. Pleased to meet you! Let's chat!

@martinkent333 I do know know my spiritual position. It's Holy. Yeah my spiritual ticket is Holy. Holy spirit of God. There's a spiritual realm but only one Holy spirit. God wants are faith, not evidence. There's zero evidence of the world being 400billion trilillion year old. Do you know how far humanity would be. It's been only 80years since the light bulb and automobile. How much farther humanity would be if they created the light bulb 400billion trillion years minus 5800 years. The world is no more then 7000 years. To be exact 2030 would be the 7000 year. And we do have evidence of Moses and exodus. It's called the bible. The bible is a source of the only original truth. A source of spiritual Holyness. Because we know other sorcery leads to evil. The bible is Good. The only good. You would have to take from bible to get good, truth, laws, like we still do today. Except islam because they are lawlessness. That's how the lawlessness one the b son of perdition comes from. But he will be a x muslim. Because won't honor t he gods of his fathers. And because the bible teaches prophecy and not atheism. We see were in end days revalation. And one called the son of hamas is the son of perdition. Making war whit saints to over come them. So you call the bible fake. So why do you obey it's laws and commandments

He is awesome and why is this so attacked ? Maybe because it’s true . This is our hope and people are trying to blast it . I can feel such spiritual back lash if I share the truth on my fb and it’s coming from Christians

@@angelapearson4393 agree, if true - people refuse to accept it. See soon......if true

​​@@angelapearson4393 Hi, Angela! Have you noticed that the other viewpoints of the Rapture, other than pre-trib, are never attacked? To be fair, not all deniers are vicious. They just reject dispensational theology in general. But the majority of them are vicious! I believe the deniers have never been born of the Spirit. All they have is head knowledge which is never applied to their hearts. So sad. 😔😥😪💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@kathierouse6046 I've noticed this as well. I think people who are more fearful, distrustful and controlling are attracted to the PostTrib, PreWrath, amillennial viewpoints. If they are in churches that lack discernment, I can see how many would not be saved or just lack discernment themselves.

@@kathierouse6046 Exactly. The love of the truth includes dispensations.

A false hope

@@chief270202. Not for those saved in Christ who understand the Bible.

I don't think anyone on Earth wants to believe in a pretrib rapture more than me, but it's simply not true. The tribulation and Great Tribulation will be absolutely horrible. Worse than anything before it and anything that comes after it, but if you are alive when it happens, you WILL go through it. "In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." was a promise He gave us.

@@sheepdog5097 And the church has indeed suffered tribulation since its inception: Christians were killed in Roman arenas for sport, and Nero used them as human torches to light his garden at night. This has continued throughout two millennia, and the church remains the most persecuted group on the planet as we speak. This tribulation is dramatically different from “the tribulation,” a time of such violence, hardship, want, terror, and brutality, as this world has ever known or will ever know again. It is from this specific 7-year tribulation that the church is not appointed: Yeshua ha’Mashiach has paid the price for the church. It is complete, finished, and not because of anything we could ever do to deserve such mercy, but all based on the finished work of the cross. The pre-trib harpatzo is biblical and correct.

@annemurphy9339 There is a 7-year period made up of two halves, but the tribulation and the great tribulation does NOT last 7-years. The time was cut short or else no flesh would be saved. In all the bible you will not find any evidence for a 7-year tribulation period. The focus here is on tribulation, not wrath.

My question is, aren't all believers in Christ? Old testament saints as well who were waiting for Messiah? They aren't in Christ? Separate ressurections? I don't get it

1 Thessalonians 4 14 Jesus brings sleeping people with Him 1 Thessalonians 5 10 Whether WE wake or SLEEP 1 Corinthians 15 51 WE shall not all SLEEP Daniel 12 2 And many of them that SLEEP in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. The church rapture is after the thousand year reign John 6 39,40,44,54, Jesus says at the last day four times

@@squirreljones3595 Interesting , (However, I see it differently.) The main thing Is that we all go to Christ when he calls us 🙏🕊️❤️

@@etaandtaz5867 Right The church doesn't have one bible verse that promised them white robes or the thousand year reign Revelation 7 14 white robes Revelation 20 4 thousand year reign The thousand year reign is promised to the saints that overcome the mark of the beast Four verses after judgement day Revelation 21 4 God wipes away the bride's tears

This is replacement theology at it's core. We are grafted into this ceremony with Israel and Christ. This is why in Isaiah it says he will was away the filth of the daughters of Zion. This is before his coming. Once the filth is washed away, you see in Revelation, the bride has made herself ready. That is why it is in chapter 19 of Revelation. This means the marriage has not happened yet. Isaiah 25 lays out the marriage supper also. This again, is with Israel, who we are grafted into.

@@richpalmer9886 This is a new perspective for me. Thanks for sharing it! Lots to think about! Ps I believe we are grafted in. I also believe we are the bride. I’m trying to put the puzzle pieces together.

In context, that is talking about not falling for the worldly things happening all around us. Context being the verse before. This has nothing at all to do with any rapture.

@@brileri there are a number of escape verses, escape means escape..

@@marleinsteinmetz5056 lets have a look at them in context. Escape doesn't mean "taken out" necessarily, rather the context in which it is said defines the meaning. In Luke 21:36 the meaning is "don't let us fall for the things of this world" or "protect us from this world".

@@brileri wrong, not sure where you went to seminary, escape means escape, literally, do the full spectrum word study, and if you are jonesing to be starved, unmentionable acts, behedaded then be my guest..not me and my family

@@marleinsteinmetz5056 it doesn't make any difference what we want, and I can guarantee that no one wants to be killed by the antichrist. You can continue believing you won't ever see the antichrist, but when (not if) the antichrist is revealed and all christians are still on the earth it's gonna feel a lot more difficult to face him when you haven't mentaly prepared for it. Making a verse say something you want it to say by taking it out of context doesn't make it biblical.

No passage in context actually teaches it. It's an idea brought to each passage. That is the problem.

@@Mike65809 no single passage teaches the trinity, or substitutionary atonement, or transubstantiation for you rccs, or a dozen other theological constructs...

@@marleinsteinmetz5056 Well good point. But there is a difference. Matt. 24 directly contradicts the idea of a pretrib rapture by Jesus addressing his one 2nd coming throughout the passage. He never said comings, but coming, and the disciples asked about his coming, not comings. Paul, in discussing the rapture, referred to it as his "coming" in 1 Thess. 4:15. So there is scant evidence, if any, for a pretrib rapture, and seeing somewhere it borders on presumption and ignoring what Jesus and Paul said about it. Regarding the trinity, there are many passages the do support it in context. The the bible reaffirms that Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God, and the Father is God. So we can conclude that the three are God. There is much an the substitutionary atonement.

@@Mike65809. Matthew 24 speaks to the tribulation, not the rapture.

@@annemurphy9339 Paul calls the time of the rapture "his coming". Did you know that? He even uses the same Greek word as in Matt. 24, parousia.

How is there going to be 2 raptures ? After the tribulation He will gather all His saints from the 4 winds of the earth. Then before that there will be a secret rapture when people dissapear and thier clothes will fall onto the ground? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5zfBwLUnKwY.htmlsi=efNDwSuyBHF9Z2rs

so we go up in a secret rapture , then what do we come back down here again when we are gatherd again from the 4 winds of the earth at the very last trumpet sound? and every eye shall see Him?

1 question. Where does his 5-6 months being the duration of God's bowls of wrath come from, do you know? I dont recall where that is said in the holy bible. Please share that

Trust in him. He knows.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5zfBwLUnKwY.htmlsi=W8qKi3_Ml_CkP8gL This is good and explains each verse ,

You should always check the context of each passage that supposedly supports a pretrib rapture. You will see there is no reason in context to believe such an idea. It's a theory brought to each passage, but not found in the passage. God bless.

Mary, why do you really believe in a pretrib rapture? What makes you think or believe that the body of Christ (the church) is different just prior to the great tribulation than the body of Christ (the church) that has endured persecution, tribulation, and death for 2000+ years since the day He was taken down off the tree ? Where is the righteous judgement in that? Are you so naive to not see the irony of that? And the body of Christ is under terrible persecution even more today. Think about it. If you live in the US, you don't know persecution. We are protected by the Bill of Rights from religious persecution. Just think about what would happen if that is taken away. Just answer one question: When did Jesus explicitly say he would raise you, marybernstein6498, up from the dead? That's all you have to answer.

Greetings Marlein, Rev. 13:7 says the AC will war against the saints. For him to do that, the church must be on the earth during the tribulation. See also Dan. 7:25. Peace and blessings:)

@@slamdunk4879 the 144,000 will witness , trib saints will be from those left behind,

I agree Not only that, All of God's wrath was poured out on Jesus at the cross. Christ now lives IN US. we are told we are the BODY OF CHRIST, so why would God subject his son to a second wrath? He WOULD NOT.

@slamdunk4879 actually scripture is surely referring to tribulation saints who came to faith after the rapture. The left behind church will see the most phenomenal revival ever, unfortunately at a cost of being on earth when true believers are gone.

Jesus tells us to persevere and remain standing for a reason. While won’t go through the great tribulation, Jesus does promise us that we’ll go through tribulation and persecution in the last days. Please, there’s a channel called “We Are Jesus Doers” that has many biblical studies on the matter and teaches us to search the word for ourselves under the Holy Spirit’s guidance. There will be many false doctrines in the last days and we all have a responsibility to seek the truth in Jesus.

John 6 39,40,44,54, Jesus says at the last day four times I don't trust anyone but Jesus The church rapture is after the thousand year reign

@@squirreljones3595 If pre trib is not true then sadly Jesus is a liar! simple as that!

@@wwj14 Strange that you have no hesitation adding 1,007 years after the day Jesus calls the last day The church doesn't have one bible verse that promised them white robes or the thousand year reign Revelation 7 14 white robes Revelation 20 4 thousand year reign

@@squirreljones3595your ignorance is showing. The final seven years for Israel aren’t done yet, they finish the last 7 years of the 6,000th year, dawning of the day of Christ, the church is the body of Christ. We go up as the morning star, then we come back at the second coming as the sunrise with Christ. We then rule with him for the 1,000 years. Btw you get this conclusion if you read your Bible instead of listening to Satan pretending to be the Holy Spirit. The church is glorified in Thessalonians and Paul refers to us as the royal priesthood in Corinthians. In revelation 4 you see glorified humans in white robes and reward crowns. These aren’t Israel saints from the Old Testament they get glorified along with the tribulation saints who are a part of the final 7 years of Israel that was appointed to them out of the 490, Jesus was cut off at 483 and those years have been put on pause since the church age. We are the beautiful gentile bride that submitted in obedience with zero evidence, the Jews had countless miracles and received not the messiah,but God knew they were a stubborn people that’s why he chose them.

I would not say that he is "well studied" but would say he is certainly well indoctrinated. Big difference. Seeing how Scriptures are being twisted and the context forsaken in a similar way that cults like JWs and Mormons do is a huge red flag. Anyone forcing Scripture to conform to doctrine instead of forcing doctrine to conform to Scripture is in danger of promoting cult-like teachings. Here is what Lee should be doing. Below are a few verses to study. After each point the question we need to ask ourselves is, "What does this tell us?" * According to Revelation 20:4-5, the “First Resurrection” of the dead in Christ to eternal life only happens after tribulation, not before. If this resurrection is not before the tribulation then a rapture of the Church before the tribulation is impossible (1 Thess 4:16). What does this tell us? * The Church is explicitly told to expect tribulation right up until Christ’s glory is revealed (1 Pet 4:12-13). He does not reveal His glory until “immediately after the tribulation” (Matt 24:29-31). What does this tell us? * The “Blessed Hope” of the Church is eternal life that is actualized at Christ’s appearance. (Titus 1:2, 2:13, 3:7, “In HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began … Looking for THAT BLESSED HOPE [eternal life], and the glorious appearing [epiphaneia] of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ… That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE.”) The "epiphaneia" only happens when "the lawless one" is destroyed by Christ "with the brightness [epiphaneia] of His coming" (2 Thess 2:8). What does this tell us? * Revelation is written Semitically, not chronologically. There is recapitulation throughout the book where John writes about the Second Coming of Christ after the tribulation more than once (eg. Rev 6-7, Rev 10-11, Rev 14, Rev 19-20) and the “rapture” of the Church is clearly outlined in Revelation 10 at the seventh and last trumpet (cf. 1 Cor 15:52; Rev 10:7). What does this tell us? * The “wrath” that the Church is not appointed unto is the “orge” wrath only per the original Greek. In English translations of Revelation, the word “wrath” is mentioned 13 times but the “orge” wrath per the Greek is only mentioned 6 times and is always in a post-trib context (cf. 1 Thess. 5:9; Rev 6:16-17; 11:18; 14:10; 16:19; 19:15). What does this tell us? * The marriage supper of the Lamb and the Church only takes place AFTER the Lord judges the “great whore” and avenges “the blood of his servants at her hand.” (cf. Rev 19:2). This is His “orge” wrath per above. What does this tell us? * In the Galilean wedding parable of the 5 wise and 5 foolish virgins in Matt 25, once the bridegroom comes the door is shut to the wedding feast. PERMANENTLY. No one can enter (Matt. 25:10-12). Jesus tells us in Luke 17:26-30 that as it was in the days of Noah and Lot, it will be the SAME when the Son of Man is revealed. When Noah entered the ark and God shut the door, the flood began on the SAME DAY and the destruction of those upon whom His wrath came began immediately (Luke 17:27), not 7 years later. On the SAME DAY that Lot departed Sodom, God rained down fire and brimstone from heaven and “destroyed them all.” Their destruction began immediately, not 7 years later. Likewise, once the rapture happens, the "orge" wrath of God begins on the SAME DAY and none can later be saved to take part in the marriage supper of the Lamb (which only happens AFTER the Lord judges the “great whore” and avenges “the blood of his servants at her hand” per Rev 19:2) -- but the pre-trib theory contradicts Christ’s words because we see a great multitude in Rev 7 “who come out of the great tribulation” that “have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” What does this tell us? * Before the rapture, which Paul says happens on the Day of the Lord, we will see Antichrist revealed (2 Thess. 2:3, “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it [the Day of the Lord and our gathering to Him] will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed …”). According to Joel 2:31, Matt 24:29 and Zech 14:1,7, the Day of the Lord is immediately after the tribulation. What does this tell us? * We are told by Christ in Luke 21:25-28 to watch for the post-trib “cosmic signs” and to be ready in Him so that we can escape all these things in “that Day.” Which day was Christ referring to? The Day of the Lord -- His return “immediately after the tribulation” in power and glory to destroy Antichrist (cf. Luke 21:25-36; Matt 24:29). What does this tell us? * When speaking about the rapture in 2 Thess 2:1, Paul uses the word “episynagōgē” (G1997), which is from the word “episynagō” (G1996) - the exact word that Christ used in Matt 24:31 regarding the gathering of the elect immediately after the tribulation. Paul is referring directly to Christ’s own teaching in the Olivet Discourse and connects the “watching” for the rapture with Jesus’ instructions for His disciples to be watching for His coming “immediately after the tribulation.” What does this tell us?

Agree. Okay.

Greetings Larry. Do you think the escape in Luke 21:36 is he rapture? Blessings

yes! escape means escape!!! plain and simple! a "fire escape" isnt an asbestos suit and oxygen bottle for the fire, the fire escape gets you completely out of the burning bldg...

Not at all. He is saying that we are to be sober and awake, watching so it does not come like a thief in the night, as it will on the unbelievers. Notice Jesus describes his 2nd coming as a thief in the night also. Yet it never occurs to people that they are talking about the same event? Paul even calls the time of the rapture his "coming". See 1 Thess. 4:15.

You won't escape them if he said you would see them, right? Didn't he say "when you see these things..."? What you escape from is the anxiety and drunkenness he described just before he comes. To stand according to Paul means to stand in the evil day. It never means to be in the rapture.

The context of Luke 21:36 is the verse before, which then means the "escape" is from worldly things mentioned, like drunkenness and cares of this world. It has nothing at all to do with any rapture.

It is nowhere to be found exegetically, hermeneutically or contextually.

Don't get too excited with a "language scholar" unless they can order and fancy drink from a coffee stand in whatever language they claim to be an expert in. lol

The Lord Jesus words or teachings does not depend on any biblical interpretation. Christians must put themselves under the authority of God's word not God under your dispensational system of interpretation. Lee Brainard tells us that he has specialization on Greek and quoting Rev.3:10 that tells us the rapture of the church. Wrong! Rev. 3:10 does not tell us the rapture of the church, the word tereo means "keep" or "guard" does not mean rapture. Rev. 3:10 simply means the Lord Jesus will guard his church.

@@doncleveland1245it is true that the root meaning of ek is from, away from or out from. But the preposition ek is not the key to understand what the Lord has promised in Rev. 3:10. The preposition ek does not negate the verb tereo, however on the other hand, the verb tereo negate the motion of that preposition. We should be careful not to fall into the error of "root fallacy or etymological fallacy". Your understanding of Rev. 3:10 is not correct. The reknown N.T. scholar at DTS Daniel B. Wallace explains and I quote, "(Transitive preposition such as EK), when it is used with stative verb, such as tereo, kathemai, eimi, etc., the idea of motion is negated by the stative nature of the verb." Further He says, "What is the value of this discussion for exegesis? It is simply that too often prepositions are analyzed simplistically, etymologically, and without due consideration for the verb to which they are connected. Prepositions are often treated in isolation, as though their ontological meaning were still completely intact" in Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics, page 359, words in open and close parentheses is mine.

@CinderellaRaptured333 If you put your full trust in Jesus then you will be raptured before the tribulation begins. Don't be alarmed I could be wrong, but I believe there's a chance that believers who became lukewarm (mixing law and grace) or left their first love are chastised by God and raptured not before, but at midpoint (before motb) when they've realized their Galatian error (trusting in good works, repenting of sins etc) to keep them saved or "rapture ready". The only reason we're rapture ready or justified in the eyes of God is because of Jesus. The fact you are worrying about "being ready" shows you realize you fall short (as we all do), but you've not yet acknowledged that the only reason we're ready is because of Jesus. It's all Him sister. No need to trust in yourself or worry then. Doing that is partially denying what Christ did on the cross and trusting in your flesh (works), that's why it's so serious in God's eyes (as we read in Hebrews). You'll be alright if you put your _full_ trust in Him. Did you know 'faith' means 'trust' in the Greek. God bless sis you'll be alright. When we are faithless He is faithful (2 Timothy 2:13) and we can being confident that He who begun a good work in you will perform it until the Day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6) 🙏 Jeremiah 39:18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: _because thou hast put thy trust in me,_ saith the Lord. Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: _because he trusteth in thee._ Psalm 91:14 _Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:_ I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

​@@ElianAbi Jesus of Nazareth - If you Love me, keep my Commandments .... ❤ 😇

Nobody can keep His commandments. We are all law breakers not law keepers. We are not under law but under grace. You should reckon yourself dead to sin. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are _fallen away_ from grace. If you reckon yourself to be under commandment keeping you should if you wish to be perfect (i.e. _the_ standard to get into Heaven): 1. sell _everything_ you own and give it to the poor 2. pluck out eye if you lust 3. cut off hand if you commit sin. It's better to do that than to go to Hell. Jesus said so (Matthew 5). - By the law nobody shall be justified: Romans 3:20 - _Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin._ - The law was a schoolmaster to make us guilty and point us to Christ: Romans 5:20 - Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more Galatians 3:24 - _Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith._ - We need to stand fast in the liberty by which Christ has made us free: Galatians 5:1 - _Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage._ - Strive to enter into His rest or else it's UNBELIEF: Hebrews 4:11 - _Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of UNBELIEF._ - If you keep sinning (i.e. believing you are law keeper) then Paul has some harsh words: Hebrews 10:26-27 _For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries._ - The just shall live by faith and God has no pleasure in people who draw back (from faith to law keeping aka self righteousness which is Pharisaical hypocrisy/leaven): Habakkuk 2:4 _“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith._ Hebrews 10:38 _Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”_ - The law is a shadow, but Christ is the substance (i.e. body): Colossians 2:16-17 _So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance[body] is of Christ._ - We should not fear going to Hell because we _know_ we have eternal life (do you? and if not do you believe/trust?): 1 John 4:18 _There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment[punishment]. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love._ 1 John 5:13 _These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God._ - If you believe or trust in Christ then you are truly free and not under the yoke/bondage of the Law. Then you have peace: John 8:32 _And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free._ John 14:27 _Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid._ John 8:36 _Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed._ - You need to be perfect to enter Heaven. Be perfect as your Father in Heaven (good luck). Unless your righteousness (law keeping) exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees you will by no means enter Heaven (Matthew 5:20). Thank God we have Christ's imputed righteousness because HE fulfilled the Law and paid our penalty: 1 Corinthians 1:30 _But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God - and righteousness and sanctification and redemption_ *It's Christ or nothing. You don't have what it takes to enter Heaven no matter how hard you try. Stop trampling the Son of God underfoot and offering your own sacrifices (repenting of sins, law keeping, doing good works). You should do good deeds, but not for salvation. You only repent once for salvation. That is biblical repentance. Don't be the people in Matthew 7:22 who thought **_they_** did many wonderful works.* - Only those that do the will of the Father will enter Heaven: Matthew 7:21 _Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven._ John 6:40 _And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day._ - This is the work (singular) of God: John 6:28-29 _28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works (PLURAL) of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work (SINGULAR) of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”_ Notice how Jesus answers in the singular when His disciples ask which works they may do. - Jesus told us to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is self-righteousness, pride and hypocrisy. The hypocrisy is that people really believe they can maintain a certain degree of righteousness to enter Heaven and that Jesus was just for the remaining sin in their life. It's complete blasphemy. Luke 12:1 _In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, “Beware of the [a]leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy._ Matthew 16:12 _Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees._ - I know I have eternal life and am not afraid: Jesus of Nazareth - _"And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do YOU believe this?"_

Dig deeper, no pre trib rapture.

@@Kman. the modern bibles are not God's word but bibles of devils

Τhe church of Christ, whose head is Christ, hinders the antichrist, as the hinderer is gone (church) , the antichrist will be revealed..ThessB' tells αbout second presence of Christ and the Thess A' tells for the rapture and the ressurection of believers (Jesus's bride)..blessings from Greece...

@@An.pis. Are you suggesting that "the great falling away" is the rapture, then the Antichrist will unrestrained? Apostasia (falling away/rebellion) is used in the rest of the bible several times (5 times in the Old Testament and 2 times in the New Testament) and it always meets the Strong's Greek Lexicon definition as follows: ἀποστασία apostasía, ap-os-tas-ee'-ah; feminine of the same as G647; defection from truth (properly, the state) ("apostasy"):-falling away, forsake. Dr Paul Feinberg (a pre trib theologian) did a study of non biblical uses of the term apostasia from around a 300 year period spanning the approximate times before and after the writing of the Books of Thessalonians. Here is a direct quote on his conclusion: "If one searches for the use of the noun "apostasy" in the 355 occurrences over the 300 year period between the second century b.c. and the first century a.d., one will not find a single instance where this word refers to a physical departure." I pray that we could set aside any preconceived notions on the rapture timing then read the entire chapter of Matthew 24, the books of 1 and 2 Thessalonians and Revelation, then see how all this scripture comes together. I don't know how anyone doing so could come to a pre-trib notion.

The 70th week in the book of Daniel

I used to believe that the full 70th week was still future, until I really began to study the words of Scripture. What does it say? If we read the text carefully it becomes apparent that Daniel 9:26 does not say that the cutting off of Messiah is what ends the 7+62 weeks, as the full futurist view assumes. Rather, Daniel is saying that AFTER the 7+62 weeks is when the Messiah would be “cut off.” In other words, the Messiah is killed during the 70th week. Furthermore, a careful study of Daniel 9:27 shows us that the Messiah is the one who confirms the covenant, not Antichrist. Notice how Daniel 9:26 speaks of two subjects, namely, the Messiah and the “people of the prince that shall come.” Even the original Hebrew of Daniel 9:27 infers that two separate subjects are in view. Contextually, this would have to be the Messiah and “the people of the prince that shall come” per the preceding verse. A careful reading shows that "he" of v27 does not refer to a future Antichrist, but rather to the Messiah. Notice the phrase in v26 "the people of the prince." It is not grammatically correct to assign the singular pronoun "he" in v27 to the plural "people" in verse 26. If "he" were to refer to the “people of the prince” then the phrase should have been stated as "the prince of the people." But because Daniel writes the "people of the prince" they cannot be the proper antecedent of the pronoun “he.” The Messiah is the only one mentioned in v26 that can be the antecedent of the pronoun "he", therefore the phrase "he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week" refers to the Messiah. Now, the following is VERY important. The Apostle Paul himself - who was an expert when it came to the Old Testament scriptures - obviously believed that CHRIST was the One who confirmed the covenant and caused the sacrifices to cease, quoting Daniel 9:27a nearly verbatim in Galatians 3:17 and Hebrews 10:2. Why would an expert of the Old Testament do that, unless it was because Christ was indeed the One who confirmed the covenant and caused the sacrifices to cease because Christ Himself was the final sacrifice? If the Apostle Paul clearly believed that Christ confirmed (strengthened) the promises of the Abrahamic covenant (cf. Galatians 3:14) per Daniel 9:27a, then so must I. Notice the following: Daniel 9:27, “Then he shall confirm a covenant [‘the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ’ (Gal 3:17)] with many [‘this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many’ (Matt 26:28)] ...But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering [‘For the law … can never with these same sacrifices … make those who approach perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered?’ (Heb 10:1-2)]. [] And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate. [‘when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel … then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now-and never to be equaled again (Matt 25:15,21)].” Jesus fulfilled the first half of Daniel's 70th week. All that remains is the 1260 days, or 3.5 years, or 42 months, that we read about in Daniel and Revelation. Hope this helps!

AMEN!!! there is truth here. There will be no early pre-tribulation rapture. We will all see Him when he COMES. At his COMING. The END. The LAST TRUMP. Anyone curious might see my post with more explanation and clear Scriptural reference.

If you would read Revelation 3 11 you would understand Revelation 3 10 Matthew 24 9 -15 Jesus says ALL NATIONS kill people for Jesus namesake before the Abomination of desolation Jews won't believe in Jesus until after the Abomination of desolation Mark of the beast is after the Abomination of desolation Jesus just told us MAN REMOVES THE CHURCH before the mark of the beast Persecution coming Jesus is truth keep the faith

If pre trib is not true then sadly Jesus is a liar! simple as that! Jesus not only promises his church will not endure wrath but will also not endure the hour of temptation that will come upon the whole world (99% of peer reviewed theologians say that means the final tribulation)...MY JESUS is NOT a LIAR!!!

@@wwj14 But if there's more days after the day Jesus calls the last day That's not a lie? John 6 39,40,44,54 Jesus says at the last day four times

@@wwj14 No. the wrath of God does not come upon the church because we dwell in the secret place of the most high (Ps. 91), and are not those who "dwell upon the earth."

„Very soon“ could mean today, but also up to End 2025 could mean „very soon“.

If the rapture happens just before the day of the Lord (2 Thes. 2:1,2) then it can't be pretrib if the DOL follows the celestial events of Joel 2;31 and the tribulation (Mt. 24:29).

@@slamdunk4879 Therefore the day of the Lord will happen more than 7 years after the pre-tribulation rapture. Simply two different events: A) Rapture before the 7 years tribulation. B) Second coming on earth after the 7 years tribulation. It is essential not to mix up these two different events.

How much baby food is your posy trib church stockpiling so our babies dont starve in the trib? None you say! Greedy? Cruel?

Well written post Rich.

The 7 years is strictly for unbelievers. Daniel also teaches this, as well as the Book of Enoch. Believers are removed. Unbelievers who change their mind during the tribulation get to be martyred for Christ. Unbelief is the premise for the 7 years.

@@doncleveland1245 nope, it’s the chastisement of Israel, who we grafted into. The Day of the Lord is for both believers and unbelievers. Believers are saved with him, unbelievers face Gods wrath.

@@richpalmer9886 Negative ghostwriter. You seem to think we are grafted into unbelief, and only a non-believer would think that. You seem to think little kids will be here for the mark of the beast, because with your doctrine, you will have 4 years olds taking it because they saw what happened to mommy and daddy. Little Johnny doesn't want to lose his head, "rich". Jesus tells us "let the children come to me and do not hinder them, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven..." correct? Guess what? Jesus isn't making a special trip to hell to get little johhny out. if you have 400 million children on the earth, how do you get every one of them to lose their head and be martyred?? Explain this to me big guy.

As I see it, the "day and hour" is the second coming (Mt. 24:36) and includes the rapture after the celestial events of Joel 2:31 and the tribulation (Mt. 24:29). This would mean that the rapture will be imminent AFTER these things. The church will SEE Jesus coming on the clouds which means she must be on the earth at this time. Jesus said, "When you see THESE THINGS, look up for your redemption (rapture) is near (Luke 21:28). THESE THINGS are the events Luke records in 21: 25-27

This is a dramatic confirmation of the truth of the pre-trib harpazo, since this church - taught by none other than the Apostle Paul - fully expected the rapture before the tribulation began.

The problem is you are ignorant That's your problem The Bible calls you to study and show thyself approved A workman.... See spot run isn't the Bible A word that isn't in the Bible Is Bible Another... Trinity You have to study CLEARLY you haven't

Better stock up on birth control, the ac thugs are randy felows! They like men too! Enjoy

@kenwall777 In Revelation 3:10 God says, "I will keep you from the time of testing that will come upon the whole world." BUT, the word translated "keep" in that verse is the Greek word "tereo" and it means to guard or protect by keeping the eye upon. Don't take my word for it: look it up in a Greek concordance. By the way, it's the same Greek word in John ch 17 where Jesus is praying to the Father and says, "I am not asking to take them out of the world but to "KEEP" them from the evil one."
