Session 4: The Capstone of Jewish Cruciform Apocalypticism with Joel Richardson 'BALLADS OF THE REVELATION' - NOW AVAILABLE FREE Exclusively on the FAI APP www.faimission.org/app #AllHailTheBloodyKing #BalladsOfTheRevelation #Maranatha
Maranatha Joel and FAI. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OFMY HEART FOR ALL OF YOUR INCREDIBLE RESEARCH AND EFFORT YOU PUT INTO YOUR SERMONS JOEL! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. GOD HEAL YOU AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY. IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD AMEN.
I feel like my mind is blown and we haven't even started chapter 1 yet! This is so fundamental to understanding Revelation and the New Testament as a whole, really, and yet I've never heard things presented this way. So fascinating and I just love God's Word and His promises.
I have to say that I began watching your different teachings on the restoration of all things back in May, and my life is changed. And that is not hyperbole. Changed forever. Thank you.
I feel the same way, it has been such a blessing! I find myself constantly thinking of the restoration of all things, and I am more excited than ever about the future we have with our Lord.
Amen 🙏 I prayed to be delivered from alcoholism and then I spent 6 months in the hospital the first month in a coma and I will tell you through all that suffering I was delivered from that disease and now I praise God everyday and share my testimony to everyone that God is still in the healing business God is still in the miracle business God is still IN CONTROL in Jesus mighty name Amen ( If you would like to watch my testimony it is on RU-vid under Patsy Tadlock Journey pt.1 and 2 )
Thank you Joel for this Balanced Teaching that is needed so badly to bring Balance to the Body of Christ! There is a Great Truth and that Simple Truth is that the Prophecy of Revelation has been Given to the Church so that the Church may know what must take place before Jesus will be Revealed from Heaven and what the Church must do so as to bring Glory to God and to be an Overcomer! Jesus is COMING for Overcomer! I cannot wait to see what you and Dalton bring forth in this Study of Revelation!
Would like to just say thank you for your teaching and I really like that you started using charts and displaying the scripture and reading through it. Thanks Joel and Dalton awesome
The spiraling seems to be more of the unraveling of the current order of creation leading to the culmination of the end of time (an unraveling thread) rather than the endless spiraling (prison system) that the world tends to want to break free of; which is a complex deception. Thanks for this post. I really enjoyed your perspective. Jesus is the only true savior.
God Bless you for the wonderful grounding of this beautiful book. Though not the first time I've read and studied The Revelation Of Jesus Christ with others , I cant wait to learn more. Pray all who faithfully do this study will be blessed and be a blessing to others. Ive gone over and over yoyr first three studies on the FAI app , letting it sink in before reading the book again .Thank you and Maranatha.
I don't know about any UFO behind the Comet Hale Bop. But I was driving to one of my accounts during the work day when you could see this Comet with the naked eye. The whole sky was vivid pink and purple with the Comet in the back ground...extremely terrifying, like a glimpse of the End of Time right before my eyes!
Thank you for this study! I can't wait to start digging into the scripture but I'm thankful ya'll are taking time to set the stage, not enough people do! :)
Some are a bit intimidated by this Book as I was and at times am.Honestly did not think I would understand any of this but really really love every bit.Thanks so much from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Well said Joel - my focus of study at the time I came Christ was philosophy focused on greek and asian. A huge contract to Jewish Cruciform Apocalypticism!
Very grateful to my Lord to have discovered FAI Studios. I don't agree with everything and favor the pre trib rapture. But that is less important to all the truths being taught.
Powerful teaching! One can truly feel the presence and power of the Holy Spirit's anointing in your teachings of the scriptures throughout the book of Revelations and I look forward to joining with you in all these sessions and sharing all of these on my fb platform. The Lord richly bless you and supply all your needs. I pray also for a hedge of protection upon you and your family members as we draw every closer to His return. Thank you for your dedication and hours of research in order to put this series together. Such love for your fellow man will bring you great rewards from our heavenly father. God bless you❣🥰
Two of the most central issues are these: Is biblical redemption escapist or restorative? Does the Gospel have the power to fully redeem Creation? Modern dispensationalism holds a pessimistic, escapist view and has unfortunately become the majority position in the American evangelical church.
Messianic Judaism is not far. They teach heavily on the Kingdom of Messiah that is to come. They teach on the Jewish context of the gospels, which helps to understand the teaching of Jesus (Yeshua).
You know it's really crazy to hear someone actually talking about this.. I was asked in my prayers one time if I was willing to die for Jesus. My thought was "well he did it for me so I wouldn't I do it for him" I had never considered that as part of the example he set for us. But I'm not afraid of dying I'm worried about the masses that have been mislead.. so many people call themselves Christians but have no idea what it's really even about. I was there with them once and now all I want to do is help them see.
"I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better." (Php 1:23 ESV) The Western Church I've experienced teaches both the beauty of being with Christ before His 2nd coming AND the glory of His future Kingdom.
I would suggest that the "new heaven" (singular) and "new earth" as well as "new Jerusalem" (Rev 21:21-22) will be the millennial heaven, earth, and Jerusalem rather than in eternity following the Millennium. Revelation 21 & 22 are parenthetical rather than sequential. We aren't told what it will be like in eternity after the earth and its heaven dematerialize and vanish at the end of the Millennium (Rev 20:11), although New Jerusalem will apparently remain.
I think you should remember James 1.5 .. You all sound like legalists and complicated Pharisees , Most of the Apostle’s were ordinary men (fishermen) but were given the spirit of the Holy Ghost especially for those times for understanding, I’m dyslexic so I have lived on my gut feeling and not what other “teachers” say “it means”.. Ya think ya know it all, well ya don’t and neither do I, All I know is JESUS DIED FOR MY SINS AND I HAVE UNSHAKABLE FAITH IN MY SAVIOUR AND REDEEMER, GOD BLESS YOU ALL AMEN JESUS LIVES IN ME ,, Ian Australia ⚓️🙏❤️🌹
Putting it Simply all Scripture is Inspired of God and whatever Scripture Prophesys MUST come to pass as Jesus does NOT lie! What Dalton does is Reveals the Errors of man and the False Doctrines of man that have Distorted the Truth of what Revelation says! Sadly mans Doctrines have Distorted and Destroyed the Truth of what Jesus does say in Revelation! I know this: Jesus does NOT lie and all of the Doctrines of Jesus are TRUE! What ever Jesus says MUST be seen before He will be COMING to GATHER us together to Himself MUST be seen and must be Fulfilled as it is Written! Jesus is 100% Right and the Various and Totally Differing Doctrines of man are at odds many times with Jesus! I will always Trust Jesus and what Jesus says! David from Australia
Industrial Society and it’s Future is a good read. It talks of technology and how it is detrimental to society. A society may take a step back, but barring any intervention of a biblical magnitude, technology will never take a step back. The Amish got it right in this sense. Technology is nothing but our longing for power and control of ourselves, others, and nature, manifested into existence by our persistent desire for knowledge and “progress”. All of which are forged in the sins of man. This is why with each step towards what we believe at first to be progress, is really just another step into the awful pleasures of man. This is why the world is consumed in sin. Many have lost their path to God as we have gotten the most-slightest taste of the power of creation for ourselves. Humanity has taken a bite of the fruit, and the consequences are soon to follow.
I would just like to add a comment about the "restoration of all things" that so many are overlooking... Matthew 17:11 And He answered and said, “Elijah is coming and will restore all things...Mark 9:12 And He said to them, “Elijah does come first and he restores all things... In Acts 3 we read that Jesus must remain in Heaven "UNTIL the restoration of all things"... time to reconsider what comes next. shalom
“Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.” Acts 3:21 NIV www.bible.com/111/act.3.21.niv “whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.” Acts 3:21 ESV www.bible.com/59/act.3.21.esv “whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.” Acts 3:21 NASB1995 www.bible.com/100/act.3.21.nasb1995
@@debravan-aalst4723 "Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet BEFORE the great and terrible Day of YHVH." Seems we have forgotten some things. Acts 3 makes it clear that Yeshua will NOT be coming back until "the restoration of all things" (which is Elijah's mission as per Jesus). shalom
@@suzanholland Thank you Suzan for bringing this into discussion! What I find that is so amazing is that we always SEE how God Prophesys and uses Prophets and Apostles etc to Prophesy of Future Events that Must take place and no one has problems with Prophecy BUT!!!! The strange thing is this, that Paul said that Jesus is NOT COMING to GATHER us together until the Son of Perdition is Revealed and suddenly there is Hype and Confusion as though it is not True! As though we must all stop Focusing on Jesus and all now Focus on the Son of Perdition???? That Jesus is NOT Coming to Gather us all to Himself until that Son of Perdition is Revealed is a Clear Statement of Truth and is a Clear Prophecy from God! Jesus is NOT Coming until the Son of Perdition is Revealed! Simple Truth, No Different to the Truth that Elijah MUST come before that Day of the Lord and that Jesus MUST remain in Heaven UNTIL the Restoration of all things!! Paul does NOT Diminish the Fact that Jesus is COMING and does NOT diminish the Fact that we should be Longing for our Lords Coming BUT Reveals the TRUTH that God Himself has Prophesied what MUST happen before Jesus will COME! WE all KNOW that God does NOT LIE! If God says the Son of Perdition MUST be Revealed before Jesus comes to Gather us Together to Himself then that is TRUTH! It does NOT mean that we must all go around saying it is a LIE or to go around and spend our Time LOOKING for and LONGING for the Son of Perdition! No! What it means for ALL believers is that we MUST Teach all Believers the TRUTH! Jesus is NOT COMING to GATHER us together to Himself UNTIL that Son of Perdition is Revealed by doing all that is Prophesied and FINALLY When that Son of Perdition is Revealed THEN we will SEE Jesus coming and we will be Gathered together to Meet Jesus and Jesus will Destroy that Son of Perdition! We as believers should never Despise Prophecy and must never lose sight of the Purpose of Prophecy! The Truth is that Elijah MUST come before Jesus will be COMING and the Two Witnesses MUST be seen and be killed and Resurrected BEFORE Jesus will COME and that Son of Perdition MUST COME before Jesus will be COMING! Jesus Prophesied that He must be Betrayed BEFORE He would be Crucified and even said to the Disciples that ONE of them would betray Jesus and that Happened Exactly as Jesus Prophesied! Judas was also CALLED a Son of Perdition and that Son of Perdition had to Fulfill Prophecy so that Jesus would be Killed and we all know that a Future Son of Perdition must be seen so that Prophecy can be Fulfilled and that Jesus will then COME! Jesus said many times words to the effect "As it is Written" and "so Scripture can be Fulfilled" May we all Accept what MUST happen as Prophesied BEFORE Jesus will COME and Gather us to Himself!
Great series ... I have a couple of questions: 1. How do you equate Jesus' statement in John 14 about going to prepare a place for us? 2. The mention of the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31, do you believe it refers to the New Covenant in the 'New Testament', a 'renewed' covenant or something else? Thank you.
We can at least be grateful that you're pushing back against escapist dispensationalism. I'm curious to see how you handle God's judgement against the Second Temple system of unbelief.
I am shocked by this teaching, this is shaking the ground for my inconsistent theology. May our Savior reveal this truth to anybody that has ears to hear.
It's interesting that he had to point out when reading that GOD created the "heavens" noting heaves to be plural. At least twice in the first letter of the Old Testament it is written referring to GOD that he/she may be plural.........' Let US create man in OUR own image'........and again....' Behold.....man has become One of US'........There's some "plural" for you to digest. ;) Cheers!
@Son's of Thunder The First Born is HE and I AM that I AM born there after. I will not be Him as He is HE but I hope that I will be more likened to He IS. I am Lord and HE is Lord of Lords. ;)
Very intelligent presentation, I enjoyed it :) The exception is I'm not a believer, I'm a death experiencer, I know that I have faith, trust from the experience of death, experience with God. Believers are a lost race of children that can only accept as true acceptance. They have no direct experiences other than feeling good of the self.
True Believers are of the true Covenant of spiritual and life we practice the book of Galatians chapter 5 and bring our souls to the altar to be crucified so we experience the life of yahushua Messiah which is the testimony Christ how I feel does not give me a relationship with God we perceive that concept God bless
@@nissibrown5762 My point is there are others like myself more on the rare side that take up the bible as Christians -> Spirituality Would be more pronounced - Most would be repelled by religion, as I was for many years like 1979 era when I was 13 - I never really started until this February of 2020. Perceiving of perception you have to build a (Hue) similar to magnetism excites titillating or a hall effect magnetic field towards Jesus and God. Returning back to my fleshy body was sickening, you feel all the darkness and negativity takes months to overcome it always curled up in a fetal position, the evil the human race is in like being in at the bottom of deep swimming pool your whole life, not realizing, not aware, family and friends are all infected with it, like the air breathing it in, Yes to go back home again, the waiting around can be depressing at times - home sickness. God bless you child :)
@@weldslikebutterfabrication483 We are all subject to the effects of sin, both the world around us and our own selves. We don't need to escape, we need forgiveness and redemption. Christ, through his life, death, and resurrection, provides just that. Receiving that truth, and living it out, is what defines a Christian.
@@mchristr Yes I know about overcoming, God has "shattered" my reality throughout my life time call it the path least taken, I'm just use to it is all 42 years worth, This a paradigm "I forgive you Miles, only a forgiven child, can truly forgive". Yes none of us can throw the "sin stone" or the "mistake stone" If you can not cast either stone will you bend at the knee and repent your sin to Jesus :) God loves you my child.
"Can't accidentally take / receive the 'Mark of the beast'? Hmmmm..... I'm in remembrance of" Even the Elect shall be fooled". Just a thought. Christ did not die for mans "sins" as if his faithfulness was some sort of free ticket......His life was given as lets say as an 'answer / cheat sheet for YOUR own test that YOU must take and pass for yourself. If you can't stand for the truth in your spirit given to YOU by the GOD of ALL TRUTH then we will NOT pass the test. NO MAN.....is required to recompose the sins of another.....Not even Emanuel....... This is why GOD sent Christ who delivered the TRUTH so that all men MIGHT be saved and HE was crucified delivering THE TRUTH within Him BECAUSE of mans sins. All this other false B.S. Greatly deceives many.....Even those that might be the Elect.
Can anyone help me out with this question I have? If the heavens were good in the beginning, but are now corrupt according to the Bible, is the corruption of the heavens also a result of Adam and eves sin? (and wasn’t the serpent already evil before eve took the apple, so there must have been corruption from the beginning?) I am so confused 🙈 Is this question maybe answered in a different video from FAI?
As I understand it at the moment - the Heavens became corrupted after they were made. The angels were created, but a 3rd of the angels, led by Satan, fell. This happened before Adam and Eve.
Good overview of the Greek versus the Hebraic/Biblical worldviews. I just have one correction, if I may. Your explanation of the Greek view of time and history is somewhat confused. You say that it is circular - events repeat themselves - but chaotic. I would describe it as linear and chaotic - events have a beginning and an end, but with no ultimate purpose. It's the Eastern view that is circular - events endlessly repeat themselves (e.g., reincarnation). Both the Greek and the Eastern views are corruptions of the Hebraic/Biblical view in which events repeat themselves but spiral toward an ultimate fulfillment or conclusion.
I don't agree that the Spiritual/Good/Immaterial as superior to the physical refers to the realm of ghosts, etc. It refers only to the Absolute, the pure Divine realm, the psychic realm being one in between the physical and the spiritual and which more or less equates to the psyche of man. You can understand that this latter is not considered the 'Good', or Divine. It is superior to the physical in that the Divine is the Source of all things, which is in the Archetypes of Ideas that become, in the process of creation, the manifest, material world, which is transitory and depends entirely on the Divine for Life.
And the Greeks have a cyclical view of time starting with the Golden Age and then degenerating to the Silver, Bronze and Iron Ages, at the end of which time and earth will be restored to the point of the beginning, or Golden Age. It is the equivalent of the Garden of Eden, the Fall and the Redemption, a return to origins or 'heaven on earth'. You are right Joel about the Gnostics, but all of this is complicated and the Bible and Christian teachings are imbued from the beginning with Greek teachings. It is Judaism which, while also espousing varying dualisms, ultimately finds an equilibrium between heaven and earth, namely through its restoration by the Messiah at the end of the cycle of Ages, called the Great Jubilee in Hebrew eschatology.
I don't quite understand the concept of us not going to heaven and not being in a spiritual body. Wouldn't it make more sense to call the new body we get AS our new spiritual body? I understand the restorative part but like, just how it was explained in this video how my body, the Earth, and the Heavens would be restored instead of having the new body doesn't seem to click with me. [Jesus doesn't lie, maybe it's a massive misinterpretation on my part] For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. (Mathew 22:30 KJV) For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. (Mark 12:25) The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. (Luke 20:34-36 KJV) Someone want to reiterate me on this?
Your statement that the New Covenant will culminate when the Messiah returns is confusing. The New Covenant is simply the placing of the Torah in our hearts and writing it on our minds. That is prophesied for Israel when they see Him returning in the clouds, recognize Him as the Messiah, repent, and are saved (Zec 12:10; Rev 1:7; Jer 31:33; Joel 2:28). But it happens for present-day followers of Yahushua (Jesus) when we trust in Him as our Lord and Savior (Acts 2:17; 3.28; Heb 8:10).
Paul, no where in his letters says God became flesh, he always says God the only Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Spirit 2nd Corinthians 3:17. And also Paul says that Jesus is the life giving Spirit, 1 Corinthians 15:45. Jesus was not and is not God. Jesus is the first born of the dead. That’s awesome right there because we will become like Him, cannot become God ever.
When you talk about the restoration of all things, do you mean every person that lived ? Is God going to send people to hell forever ? Or is he going to destroy the unsaved people? Or will every person that has ever lived be saved and be restored for the new heaven and earth?
Here is the interpretation I was taught: During the end times when Christ returns to Earth, he will send everyone who has taken the mark of the beast -to burn in Hell, in the Lake of Fire, for at least a thousand years. Those who refused to take the Mark will live with Christ on Earth, for a thousand years. This will include everyone who was martyred for their refusal to take the Mark. However, after the thousand years have passed everyone will be resurrected to stand before Christ and his White Throne, in judgment. Those people who were evil will be tossed into Hell PERMANENTLY, where they will be destroyed. Those who were decent people will be allowed into Heaven. I believe that this final judgment will happen this way, because there will be a lot of otherwise "good" people, including many good Christians, who will take the Mark out of ignorance and will fall into Hell. Surely God is too wise and merciful to condemn these people to Hell FOREVER.
@@wilb6657 so you think evil people will die... But most good people will go to Heaven? And some who take the mark from ignorance can still go to Heaven?
@@thisperson6655 Yes. I believe that, overall, the MAJORITY of people who take “the Mark” will eventually find themselves in Heaven EVENTUALLY. This will only be after one thousand years in Hell, though! The reason I believe this, is that I believe the mark is coming at us fast, and it will be among us SOON. In fact, it might be in the process of being rolled out now as we speak. If you follow current events-you probably know what I’m talking about. At any rate, I know ALOT of awesome, decent, GODLY people who are anxious to receive this thing(no matter what I tell them). Some of them have gotten it ALREADY. I just can’t believe that my God would condemned these people to the pit of Hell FOREVER. Surely, he is too wise and just for that. However-I believe the people who are currently pushing-or will push-what I believe is the mark, WILL be condemned to Hell for eternity, because they know what they are doing, and they don’t care.
@@thisperson6655 The va cine cannot be the mark because it does not require u to bow down and worship someone n ..the Anti Messiah must first return and the temple.be rebuilt. Please my brothers n sisters READ YOUR BIBLE..in Hebrew if u can get a translated one. Let no one deceive you
Sir on your comment as to the trib rapture. If you want to support your post trib view..better luck if u use less demeaning language as in, I don't see a iota of truth in it. Please remember the tedious time of study put in by sincere and enlightened brothers as to their beliefs. When u use such language it stirs one spirit to offense..the bible warns of stirring Up arguments. It has no building up in it. It a one ups man kind of thing.
If we do get to go to heaven for a little while. And there's the spirits that were causing things to happen to us on earth all the while thinking that they are safe from reprisal. Can't guess the intentions of the Almighty Father but maybe we'll get to meet them on an even keel. And deal them some revenge. Who knows right ? Said it yourself "maybe we go up to heaven for a while then come back down" after Jesus mops up here. During that prerequisite time we should be in pretty good shape to do a little housekeeping in their realm. We should get to. Kill them with kindness minus the kindness. Alot of people know that your wife is in trouble and I guarantee that some heavy prayers were said. If for nothing else for the Father to bring you peace and an abundance of trust in your beliefs and the truth you say. This may be the only reason the Father brought you to him. He probably knows the weight of your heart would be too great of a thing to survive and so he made sure he was long a part of your life when you got to the most difficult part. Miracles still happen and if that's what it takes you both may live to see one. I hope that this finds you in a better way two of you
