Jesus & the Book of Revelation 

Too bad they are idolaters worshiping the false triune god.

Winger is so humble,sincere, and knowledgeable.

I am so seriously sorry for your blindness as Christ said " they have not eyes and cannot see they have not ears and cannot hear " the only thing you can hear is what your itching ears want to hear ,I pray the Lord will give you ears ti hear and eyes to see that you can decern his truth! Amen

Winger denies the sovereignenty of Gods free will as opposed to mans free will! Chew on that really really chew ! Chew try Potters freedom read and chew enjoy

@@stevesosnick2638what are you even talking about…. ?

No. It won’t. Because it’s false. There IS a future great tribulation with an antichrist coming, it’s VERY clear. No matter WHAT he tries to say. And that has nothing to do with any pre-trib rapture at all either way.

I do enjoy his teaching but it doesn’t change my position. I would love to talk with pastor Jeff personally and asks some questions to go further in depth with what I believe in comparison to what he teaches.

​@louisybarra1277 you should see his 12 part series on Matthew 24. So helpful for me to hear it explained with so much Old testament scriptures.

Only if you don't know what the scripture really teaches...

@@cmyarbrough61 Which is ??? Antichrist rising ? New World Order with cashless society? Get the mark of the beast ? Future Great Tribulation?

Anton Domazet God bless you, don’t underestimate the love of our savior we are the reason He came to died for people like us

This was beautifully said!

Eloquent spirit

I agree. It's strange though. When I was an atheist I knew the bible better than when I came to God at first. As an atheist I read the Bible and scoffed at Christians who praised God but didn't understand that this judgement was already brought upon the covenant breakers. I mocked them for being ignorant. When I came to Christ I went STRAIGHT into the hands of other Christians and they were pre-mil. Once I went into a real phase of study I began to understand and see. I remembered these things. Then it all came together. The honest reading but this time WITH a submission to the Lord.

@@robertknight3354 Thank you for your awesome testimony!

Did you go? Or just empty words?

@@BiglariProductions you by

I used to attend a small country church from my first Sunday on this earth. As a teen, I drifted. I didn’t end up going back seriously till I was 27 after the birth of my first child. A few years in, and now with two kids I wasn’t feeling as feed as I used to. I wasn’t able to grow anymore it felt like. So I stopped going for a few years. I could see a change in my children, and I realized what the cause was. It was about that time that my grandfather had passed. He was the senior pastor, and a close friend of mine. It really hurt me, so I stopped going all together. I went from proclaiming his word in public to strangers, to not opening my Bible for years. The kids ended up going to the church in the small town we lived in. I seen them growing in there faith, and it started to convict me. Out of curiosity I attended one Sunday service, and I can not explain the joy that filled me to every molecule in my body. We ended up moving a few miles away over the hill to the next town. It was there that the new neighbor came to welcome us, and said if you were looking for a new church since you moved, you could come with us SOME Sunday. Didn’t push for the next Sunday, rather they said it a few times, SOME SUNDAY! Well I ended up getting convicted and went that Sunday. It was the second best decision I ever maid. Now I’m not comparing myself to Jesus, not in the least. I did feel like Jesus did though in the fact that he wasn’t taken seriously in his hometown, so he left. Now I can say that if I’m not working on Sunday, I attend in person. If I am working, I catch the livestream. What I’m trying to say is sometimes it’s good to change a venue. I don’t know you, same way you don’t know me. Just consider finding a different church that teaches the word of God. Sometimes we stop going for unseen reasons. I hope you have found a place to worship with like minded believers.

It doesn't though. That is what he just explained.

It's already begun. Covid marks the 1st horseman. Start learning how to FAST (humans were never supposed to need 3 meals a day - its just serves big agro and medical industry). You'll be better suited to make it through the coming famine. Be blessed.

🙏🙏🙏

Actually, wouldn't Jeff's view be more traditional (i.e. more in line with church history)? I mean, I get you--literal interpretation of the biblical eschatalogy has been adopted (and some would say originated) by total loonies. But there are respectable Bible believing people who still think it's more in tune with the whole of Scripture.

You are right tho

What is the false teaching?

@@MJ-wi7oo: Depends who you ask...

@@MJ-wi7oo I would say preterism that Jeff is teaching, and futurism that mainstream churches teach are Jesuit false doctrine. I would say Christian historicism (the staple of Protestantism for hundreds of years) is the correct way to understand bible prophecy. You should prayerfully research the subject for yourself with a desire to believe only what is true, no matter where that leads.

Amen to all of that!

Christian Camargo Aww.. you lucky! I’m in Australia and I keep missing him because I never know when or where he’s coming. I’d love to meet him, it would be an honour!

He's no saint, but a pastor.

Christen Ande Brown these things happened in the first century and are documented by Josephus and a few Roman historians that weren’t even believers and didn’t know what was happening when they recorded the events. Down to the trumpet....read War of the Jews by Josephus, it’s wild!

@@Flerflandia, hmmm...I do not see anything in "War of the Jews" declaring that Daniel rose from the dead. to receive his allotted inheritance.

Wouldn’t these verse be referring to the resurrection? Why would it mean just Daniel ?

Daniel Medrano you would need to watch the whole video to understand the context.

Amen I agree, none of the believers in Christ have risen yet and he has not returned yet either, Revelation has still not been fulfilled.

Absolutely. I swear, many Christians, especially here in the west, read the Bible like 21st century Christians. They fail to read it in the historical context of the first century readers. Revelation was written by John who was a Jew, and it was written to the Jewish followers of Jesus, and Revelation is filled with Jewish language, imagery, and symbolism everywhere that has direct ties to the Old Testament. We make up these crazy ideas of what we think the locusts are, what the horsemen are, etc. and we don't even ask the question: is this how the first century JEWISH followers of Jesus would've understood it as?

@@jacobgarcia4826 Ive heard people think the stings from those insects that kill were those Japanese giant wasps of today. Once you come out og being a futurist you can never go back

He’s speaking about the generation that SEES all of the things mentioned that he was speaking about. There WILL be a future great tribulation and there WILL be a man of sin, an antichrist. Period. End of debate. Revelation is very clear on that. This guy does not understand “already but not yet” theology at all.

@@dazdavis7896lol ok

Yup, when Christ said this generation, He didn’t mean a 21st century generation 2000 years in the future, lol..

Yes it does, but that is because he was not dealing with those other questions in this sermon. Go to FB and ask Him your questions.

Endtimeprophecy777 This is an easy answer. As the Bible tells us, the New Jerusalem is we the church. John introduces the New Jerusalem as the lambs wife, a bride adorned. You’re then taking that literal so you take the need for a physical sun literal. The final judgement is yet to come after the millennium and at that point sin is eradicated and the eternal state begins. Easy answers to basic questions.

​@@ericmillernow My point is this is not all in the past. there are events which still must take place.

Endtimeprophecy777 Correct, the final judgement and eternal state ensuing. But the New Jerusalem is not the new heaven and earth after the judgement. It’s the current bride of Christ. I’ve never heard him say that the final judgement has already happened

@@ericmillernow He didn't but, he is implying The Book of Revelation has already occurred. He is taking a purely preterist position. If not he would have stated that events in the past foreshadow the events which will take place in the future. Which he didn't.

Me too!!

Jeff is wrong about Revelations. He isn't an authority on this aspect of God's word. It's not his fault, It was God's choice for it to be that way. The Beast is not Rome, the beast is the "one Satan uses to deceive the whole world" (this deception quote is near the end of rev). Has anyone deceived the whole world, ever? No. Don't misunderstand me, just because Jeff wants to believe he is right doesn't mean he is not correct about the majority of what his ministry teaches. His apologetics, i.e. Worldview supposition argumentation is correct. His view of Rev. came from "other people". One can only have an understanding in regard to these subjects by it being an innate gift from God. Most of the symbolic verses in rev. are not meant to be dissected and parsed out like Jeff has been taught. There are aspects of Rev. no one will ever know, it's planned that way by God. A lot of what Rev. discusses is being spoken to those people already in the other life. They are souls or in spirit. This following verse is separated from any connection to the prior message to the church discussed before it. It should be obvious because it says "churches". Rev. 2--11 "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt at all by the second death." If this message is being heard by people whose bodies have died, i.e. the first death. then the messages are being given to those who are already souls, spirits only...etc. They haven't suffered the second death. death of the soul, which is eternal condemnation.

@@icanfartloud I appreciate your username

Amen, he picks and chooses certain versus to help support his point of view but then ignores the rest of scripture smh

It's a victim mentality. People identify as victims of their oppressors and are afraid to give up that identity.

There is no rapture theology though. No 7year tribulation either. That is all a very terrible lie!

@@beppiek I am studying and that is why I said what I did.

ArielMinistries.Org has a free study course called, Come and See on their website. This is a very in-depth Bible study Old and New Testaments. I hope that will be helpful to you.

@@keitheye8719 Thank you. I think they believe in the rapture theory of Revelation and I definitely do not agree with that. Futurism/rapture is not a true interpretation of Revelation because it is of Jesuit origin from 1585. It was resurrected again by Darby...Irving and Scofield bible in 1820's forward to indoctrinate Christians. You can look these things up yourself and ask questions and research like I did and find out the truth. The entire Christian Church of the Ptrotestant Refrm. knew the anti-christ was the papacy and the beast was their gov't based in Rome.....for centuries they knew this. This is kept from Christians today and history is not taught. Even as wonderful as Jacob Prasch is, he is deceived by this. I a sorry to say it. But check it out for yourself! It is easy if you try and look. Check out Richard Bennett on you tube or Berean Beacon.org

@@laurenlimebrook9828 thanks for sharing your thoughts. We see the church in the first four chapters of Revelation. Then the church is not spoken of again, until Revelation 19:14 and the armies in heaven, clothed in white linen, white and clean, follow him on white horses. Why is it the church is not spoken of after chapter 4 in Revelation until chapter 19? and why is the church coming with him from heaven in the second coming?

I agree these guys are great.

Study the Word, learn from the Word and godly men and Pray, pray, pray... God bless you wherever He wants to put you for His glory.

Follow a Church that began say 2019 years ago instaed of one that started in in the year 1530 or 1960. The Roman Catholic Church is the 1 True Church. Please listen to Scott Hahn and the real definition the Book of Revelation - this is what the Early Church Fathers thought of this book IT IS THE MASS "THE LAMB"S SUPPER" The Heavenly Jerusalem ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IH8rHVb2vJw.html

@@andybarnick3006 the first true church are the laodicean chirch and they are the lukewarm church..

@@andybarnick3006 Sorry Andy, but the RCC began in the 300s via King Constantine. You need to read history. The RCC is not Christian, only as the lost world views it. Some of the people within are members of God's family, as deceived as they are by the organization RCC. The word Church means: Called out group of people. One must receive the Call direct from God via hearing the Gospel. Do you know what the Gospel is?

I have talked with Jeff Durbin personally, as I am a member of Apologia, and I have asked him that same question too. He said, "Although there may not be any specific verse or passage that commands us to be in a local church, the assumption all throughout the New Testament is that if you're a Believer then you're apart of a local body of Believers, aka a local church.

Victor Rene It looks like nobody was even interested in answering your question. Apologia Church is view is Post Millennial, Partial Preterist. They believe most of the book of Revelation was fulfilled in the 1st century but not all of it. The Post Millennial view is not that church will be defeated throughout history but the Gospel will succeed in every facet of life and that by the time Jesus comes back most of the world will be under the dominion of the Kingdom of God through the preaching of Gospel and transforming nations from the inside out. This is the Eschatological view that many saints had throughout history. When Christians of old would go into a nation they would deem it as already belonging to God and would fulfill the great commission by discipling the nations therein.

@@choicemeatrandy6572 the randy couture?

@@J.F.331 excellent explanation.

The key to your Matthew verse is until- or till ye say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. That's when they would see him in the second coming. When they repent and call on him whom they pierced. You shall not see me henceforth till, he say blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. Romans 11 makes it clear that this will occur at the end of the Gentile age then all Israel will be saved.

Jeff has some truth because he has some scripture knowledge but follow a Church that began say 2019 years ago instead of one that started in in the year 1530 or 1960 or the late 1990's when Jeff got sober.

@Todd Ferguson That's weird as a Christian I follow what Chris said to to do, He set himself as the Head of a Church and Peter as his Prim minister why else did OUR LORD say this Matthew 16:18 18 And I tell you that you are Peter,[a] and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades[b] will not overcome it.

@Todd Ferguson and I am sorry to break this too you but being a Christian does not involve some kind of Democratized system like you like to think of it in America. God set the rules with the Apostles and when he knew he was leaving them to be sacrificed for our sins he appointed a Prime Minster as all Jewish Kings did to carry the keys in his absence. I know there is a lot too dislike about the Catholic Church especially if you have been raised to hate it but read History. The early church practiced liturgical service and the Mass like it was shown to them by Christ in the upper room Study the Early Church Fathers and I celebrated Mass Sunday the same way as they describe celebrating it in the 1st 50 years after Christ rose from the dead. You are not a Christian if you are not faithful practicing Catholic that confesses his sins and receives the Christ - the Lamb of God. Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. DROP YOUR PRIDE AND BE MEEK and HUMBLE YOURSELF to the HISTORY OF OUR LORD's CHURCH

@Todd Ferguson The Trueth and history is tough to take - all those things u said are not true they are lies u tell urself because of ur pride - we only worship god

@Todd Ferguson We call priest father - Go to mass and buy some History books Start with the wrightings of St Polycarp the best Student of John the Apostle

The book of Revelation is basic a compilation of the OT prophecies. But i disagree with him on this one. There are many things that are not fullfiled yet (Revelation 1:19), esspecially Jesus Christ returning, 1000 years kingdom and of course, the end of this world. As is written in the book of Hebrews 2:8, not all things are submited to Him, but at the end ot will be. I do not believe that he teaches JW doctrines of Jesus returning though... And the new tehnologies that are coming will influence human behaviour. Even with this tehnology we have we can see the influence it has on the human behaviour (effects of the social networks for example. Does not affect those things our relantionship with Christ?) After all, we are just lab rats, exposed to all kind of influences trough media. And the microcip... sociable.co/technology/brainternet/ That is why we must take Bible and praying in serious to hold fast to the Lord who can save us. 1 Thessalonians (5:23)

I fully believe that Rome is that woman on the beast, and I see the catholic church raising its head again soon enough. Ever since the reformation, the Pope's have been working to get the world in their hand again. The present goal for the present Pope every year has been working on getting men of authority from all nations and religions to draw near and join with him. I find that to be a significant thing, especially if this Pope is a jesuit.

@@michaeljester6073 Book of Revelation is the prophetic history of the church, the whole church age. Much has happened already but of course not all. Maybe in the 6th vial/bowl right now. Historicist interpretation

@Andrew Brown The prophecies are supposed to be interpreted using scripture proving scripture....that is, for knowing what the symbolism is and what the allegory means. Using scripture always to prove, not the things which are happening in the world. THE Puritans have a lot right in their commentaries because they stck to biblical principles. You are wrong because the book of Revelation was meant for God's servants, to be known and understood. It is all allegory which is like a word picture to describe what is coming about, like a painting to describe it all. Those references to heaven do not literally mean "heaven" but spiritual things or godly, holy things or even the church etc. Allegory, look it up and see the definition. The papacy is the anti-christ.

I believe that Jeff is interpreting the disobedient portion of the Jewish community and the Priests who rejected Christ as the "woman on the beast," @@michaeljester6073. The beast would be Rome. In Daniel it says that the beasts are kingdoms. I hope this helps.

what's the differences between preterist and post millenialist?

@@MansterBear Preterist believe that all prophecy has happened as per the destruction of Jerusalem and temple...made up by the jesuits. Post millenialist believes in Historicist interpretations as much of Revelation has happened already. Try reading Matthew Henry or Matthew Poole commentaries for the book of Revelation.

Lauren Limebrook thank you!

Full Preterism is what your talking about. Partial Preterism is the same as Post Millennialism. Full Preterism is widely viewed as false and heresy.

Does Dr Gentry talk about the second coming of Christ? When He descends upon the earth? Also, regarding a 1000 year reign of Christ... I'd love to hear a talk on that.

Do you have proof of or a source for a 90AD (or later) date for the writing of Revelation?

The writing of 90 ad or after of Revelation shows much has not yet been fulfilled of the book. I would like to hear a response about this. I believe there is a lot more to come and there are many sitings that claim Revelation was written after 70 ad. A google search for valid sitings can shows this. I do believe we are supposed to be about discipleship and living our lives for the King now, no matter what.

The strongest source for a late dating of the book of Revelation is in Irenaeus’ book Against Heresies and even that claim has issues. Issues with the late dating: Against Heresies 5:30:3 “We will not, however, incur the risk of pronouncing positively as to the name of Antichrist; for if it were necessary that his name should be distinctly revealed in this present time, it would have been announced by him who beheld the apocalyptic vision. For it (he) was seen no very long time since, but almost in our day, towards the end of Domitian's reign.” "Several church fathers indicate that Domition was emperor when John wrote Revelation. All of them, however, seem to base their information on the testimony of Irenaeus" (Revelation, p.17) "The meaning of Irenaeus' statement has been debated. What was seen toward the end of Domition's reign? Was it the vision which John "beheld"? or was it the apostle himself, who was "seen... face to face" by those who testify? The phrase "it was seen..." may be a corruption of an original that read, "He was seen..." If this is true, then it only proves that John lived into the reign of Domition, though he may have written the Apocalypse much earlier." "Those who originally translated Irenaeus' work into English complained of the poor condition of the manuscript evidence for his work. They wrote: 'The great work of Irenaeus, now for the first time translated into English, is unfortunately no longer extant in the original. It has come down to us only in an ancient Latin version, with the exception of a greater portion of the first book, which has been preserved in the original Greek, through means of the copious quotations made by Hippolytus and Epiphanius. The text, in both Latin and Greek, is often most uncertain." "Since the text is admittedly "uncertain" in many places, and the quotation in question is known only from a Latin translation of the original, we must not place too high a degree of certainty upon our preferred reading of the statement of Irenaeus." "Earlier in the passage, Irenaeus refers to "all the.. ancient copies" of Revelation. This presupposes that that the book had been around a good long while before this statement was written. If there were "ancient copies," was not the original more ancient still? Yet, in Irenaeus estimation, the time of Domition's reign was not considered to have been very ancient history, for he speaks of it as "almost in our day." How could Irenaeus speak of ancient copies" of a work the original of which has been written "almost" in his own time?" "With reference to his mention of Domition's reign, there are grounds for believing that Irenaeus was speaking of the time of John's last being seen by the brethren, rather than the time of John's having seen the apocalyptic vision."

There are near and far prophecies in Scripture. There is no way the literal millennial reign has happened or is happening. There has been no global peace on the earth since creation. Jesus ruling from Jerusalem will be the only way the earth will have peace. We can agree that faith in Jesus is the only way to Life.

@@ryangallmeier6647 Hello! Is there a place that you can refer me to go in order to study Historicism further regarding this topic?

Rev 1 and 2 are easily understood, after that the prophesy is quite cryptic, only the holy spirit can give us understanding if it is God's will.

I agree with Jeff on his interpretation, it is Post Millennialism and Partial Preterism. To understand this better check out Dr. Kenneth Gentry and his teaching on RU-vid called "The beast of Revelation".

eschatology, while something okay to study, is a secondary issue. There are much more important things to dedicate yourself to before obsessing over Revelation and predicting the future. I like it every so often but at the end of the day you can't go wrong by loving God, loving Neighbor, and spreading the gospel.

You have to just trust the Holy Spirit. Job 32:8 kjv John 14:26 kjv 1John 2:27 John 16:13 kjv. You can understand the book. 832-798-2348

If that were true the Bible should have called it “the last years.”

@@brad8448 argue with The WORD(Jesus).... we have been in the last days since Jesus' first coming....Hebrews 1:2 KJV - Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

You might as well call it ‘last age’. Why not look at it from the original audiences perspective? They were in their last days, last days of the old covenant.

You're right brother, the Church age began on Pentecost in Acts chapter 2 and Church age will end on Pentecost in Joel chapter 2:15-17.

I read an article by John Macarthur that said that Calvinism/Reformed theology comes from taking the Bible the most literal, and if you apply that same view to eschatology, the most literal interpretation leads to Pre-Millenial as well. I'd like to see Jeff's opinion on that article.

We all get to read it, praise God. Jeff isn't determining. Are you?

Yes, "context" matters. And he is taking all kinds of things out of context. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse loose judgments on the whole "EARTH", not just Jerusalem in 79 AD. Absurd teaching. Revelation 6:4 "And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the EARTH, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword." Revelation 6:8 "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the FOURTH PART of the EARTH, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." 25% of people on planet earth die and he claims this was fulfilled in the tiny locale of Jerusalem in 70 AD? Totally absurd. Almost delusional. Perhaps we should say he is "amazingly creative" in his ability to twist the obvious meanings of Bible verses.

@@beaulin5628 The problem with your interpretation is you are imposing your 21st century thinking into the text. Earth is the Greek word for "land" which doesnt always mean the entire earth, but rather inhabited earth. Secondly, when studying the book of Revelation, one must look at numbers carefully as most are symbolic. I say all this as someone who does not hold to Jeff's interpretation either.

No those things are in different sermons. These aren't made for youtube it's a standard Sunday sermon at Apologia. You'd have to go through other videos.
