The Rapture in Revelation: Revelation Explained 13 (Revelation 4:1-3) Pastor Allen Nolan Sermon 

I’m former Catholic. Straight from Krakow when I was confirmed by Archbishop of Krakow then Karol Wojtyla, later Pope John Paul the Second. Everything pastor Allen is saying about the Catholic Church is true. Too bad I didn’t discover pastor Allen earlier. It’s just soooooo good. Such a true and precise interpretation. It makes me want to study the Bible more often and deeper. Praise the Lord Jesus.

That these teachings are available now 10-1-23 is the richest! Thankyou a million times over...may each Word reap in the harvest for souls!

The best of the best. I'm in San Diego, California and I want to move out there to attend your church. Most churches out here are lukewarm

Thank you for helping me understand the book of Revelation 🙏🏽❤️ God bless you .

Fun fact: if you ever have the opportunity to see a rainbow while elevated off the earth (eg: helicopter) you will see that the rainbow is no longer an arch, it appears as a complete circle. Love your teaching

Absolutely brilliant brilliant teaching bless you Allen

Great stuff! Keep it coming. Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus soon.

You are a excellent teacher thank you Allen

Thank you so much for explaining the Book of Revelation. God bless you!!!

Thank you pastor Allen I love gods word in depth how your explaining it God bless you and yours

Pastor Nolan, once when I was listening to the Holy Spirit, He told me ...there are colors in Heaven we have not seen .

Probably the most knowledgeable theologian I’ve ever heard. John MacArthur is another one. But I think Allen has beat him.

God has blessed you Pastor such a clarity of God's word. Wonderful teacher. Thankyou from Florida.

Good preachin preacher

Pastor, I’ve just started watching some of your videos. Have thoroughly enjoyed what I heard. I have been studying the Bible for quite some time, and enjoy peeling back the layers revealing deeper treasures. I know we cannot agree on every single point made, but that is ok. It stretches and exercises the mind to see how others grasp different meanings. The one argument I always, and consistently run across when it comes to the timing of the rapture, (pretrib., midtrib., etc. ), would be the trumpet issue. Many people don’t understand there is a difference between the meanings of the words trumpet, and trump. Trumpet bring the instrument, and trump being the actual sound made when the trumpet is blown. Once this is understood, then the scriptures dealing with “the last trump” make sense, as to a pretrib rapture. You’ve probably already covered this within your many recorded teachings. P.S. it’s been a long time since I’ve seen my husband dive into bible study like he has while listening to you. A prayer answered. Thank you for your faithfulness in getting these lessons out there!

Thank you for revealing the heart and mind of God for us His Church

A True Gem. Thank you!!!

The gift of word of knowledge. I think I’ve experienced this. I’ll be “meditating” on what I call reasoning or trying to figure out what something means or talking to myself or God on ancertain scripture, then BAM! I know all of a sudden, or get an epiphany on it.

Good video tyvm we all must do our part and spread the good news

Amen and Amen brother!

That thing he says where he wants to read books with good endings because the world is too awful and broken to bare sometimes and you just want something good were there's some winning lol its amazing how something little can make you relate to someone,

Amen 🙏🙏🙏

Wow when Jesus said I’m the resurrection and the life I have never put that together with the actual end of the church age resurrection he was describing before he raised Lazurs. That’s good! Very good! Amen. John3:30

But I’m grateful to you for teaching the history before this part. I learned history in school and ( went to a Christian school) so I learned the Bible simultaneously with history so a lot this history I knew but you tied it better together and that is invaluable info. (Also I was young but now it all make sense) You are a blessing to me and my family and too many who are coming to Jesus because of your teaching. May the Father bless u and give u long life so as to keep bringing unbelievers to HIM accepting Jesus as Lord in their lives.

It would be awesome if you could do a lesson or course on learning greek or share a good resource online if you know of one.

im trying to find the video that you made on a "Mid Trib Rapture" what is the title? or what playlist is it in? thank you.

Isn’t Christmas and St. Patrick’s Day Pagan Doctrines conjured up by the Roman Catholic Church? As even so Sunday Worship instead of Saturday the Sabbath day As we should keep that day as Holy Required of Keeping the Commandments?

Jesus warned us in Luke 21:34 - 36. We have to be vigilant and pray constantly so that we can escape from all the calamities which will happen during the tribulation. The only way that we can escape from ALL is that we are being raptureed.

I'm a bit confused - hope you can clarify: Rev. 4:1 "the first (voice) I heard was AS IT WERE of a trumpet". You say the word "voice" really means sound but how do you know that? All other translations use voice - even the NASB word-for-word translation. And yes, I read I Cor. 15:52. What context are you referring to that makes you say the translation should be "sound" and not "voice"?

Can this chart be downloaded??

Oh my! We can't have a collection plate without a rapture.

4:1 does not appear to represent the church. it is addressing John going up to view things to come, 4:2 puts it into context.

Matthew chapter 24 :13,21,22

You have some great teachings on here pastor and I am a new subscriber I have a quick question if John was raptured in Revelation 41 and he was in the spirit which we get our and which we get our Immortal bodies later how did he die on the island of Patmos?

Yes, Brother, Rainbow on the ground is semi-circle, but when flying, and viewed from above, a rainbow can be a full circle. Probably have to be a pilot to fly enough to come across this. Saw my first on a trip to Las Vegas from Tucson.

have you seen the documentary of these stones shown through (cross poloraized) "pure light"? i think he meant what he wrote

There were so many ads interrupting this video 😒

How is there only 92k views on this. Broad is the road to destruction and narrow is the path to eternal life few be there that find it

Paul says at the sound of the LAST Trumpet. Chapter 4 in revelation starts with John says the FIRST sound of the trumpet he heard he came up. Would not the LAST trumpet sound be AFTER the tribulation?

My pastor also teaches the same things but I have one question, in Revelation chapter 4 when the church is raptured, why did it not mention the dead in Christ being raised first as described in 1 Thess 4:16?

But it says, "last trumpet" were ruptured and the Pastor is using the first trumpet to prove his point?? Or am I wrong?

While I want to believe in a pre tribulation rapture, i also wonder if it meant all of the Church will be gone as in dead, wiped out. This would also end the Church age and would be more indicative of the wrath coming on us. Just my thoughts. Hope its incorrect.

I canr say one way or the other for sure but I only know of one time when christ comes in the clouds and it ain't before the end so I'm very confused I've been studying to try and figure it out and the more I do the less it makes sense

Titus 1:14

just some thoughts 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 in the Book of Revelation I am going to show exactly where this passage is in the Book of Revelation. First it is necessary to study Rev 4:3. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. Before we examine this verse I want to look at EZ 1:27-28 - 27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. No one has ever doubted that God the Father is described in these verses. When John is called up to the throne room in Revelation Chapter 4, the voice that calls him is that of Jesus. Everyone agrees on that also. Doesn’t it strike you as odd that Jesus does not seem to be present in Chapter 4? Let’s look to the Bible to clear up this question Hebrews 1:1-4 says: In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. Does this help you to answer the question of where Jesus is in the throne room in chapter 4 of Revelation? It is interesting that the rainbow encircles the throne. Let’s look at John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” In Ezekiel the rainbow was not said to resemble an emerald. That vision occurred before God’s Son became man. The emerald is used as a descriptive phrase because Jesus is from the tribe of Judah, in fact Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Judah was the fourth son born to Jacob. In the KJV the emerald is the fourth stone in the breastpiece of the High Priest. That is not so in the NIV or the NASB. However, I’ve never asked a Rabbi or a member of a Jewish Historical Society who does not say that the emerald is the stone of Judah. Rev 4:3 is a magnificent description of the relationship between the Father and the Son. Now, we have laid the groundwork for studying Chapter 10 of Revelation. Chapter 10 is the beginning of the fulfillment of the three main rapture passages which are: 30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. matt 24:30-31 50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed- 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” 1 Cor 15:50-54 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 Let’s look at Rev 10:1-4: 10 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. 2 He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke. 4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.” Jesus is the rainbow, also the rainbow is the sign of the Son of Man mentioned in Matt 24:30. The angel - mighty angel - the archangel is Michael, the only archangel mentioned in the Bible. Michael is robed in a cloud, Jesus is above him. Jesus issues a loud command with the voice of the archangel. The roar of the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The appearance of the archangel is glorious, he is in the presence of the Son of God. Remember the face of Moses was radiant when he came down from the mountain after speaking to God. The seventh trumpet blows shortly thereafter and 1Cor 15-54 is fulfilled. We are actually raptured in our immortal bodies in Rev 14:14-16. This is when God the Father has Jesus send his angels to bring us up to him. Also, let’s look at Rev 10:7 7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.” Col 2:2 says: 2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, The mystery of God is Jesus. Hence, the mystery of God will be accomplished = Jesus will return.

The reason for the Old Testament Saints saw the vision from earth, was because the sacrifice to make men clean, hadn’t been made yet (Yeshua on the cross). The priest had to sacrifice to enter the Holy of Holies. John was able to go in, because of Yeshua’s blood covered him.

Please watch "The Mark of the Beast" by Pastor CD Brooks

Revelation 1:7 states; everyone will see him, and wail. Revelation 16:15 states; Watch and be ready?

Great teaching - my only critique is pastor Noland emphasizes many times in his sermons making Jesus Lord of your life to be saved. Jesus is Lord, not by my making- a work. Jesus requires us to believe He is Lord the messiah who saves. I guess I am sensitive to what sounds like a hint of Lordship salvation vs free grace, that the gospel of John declares believing approximately 100 times. Clearly a man of God with awesome biblical insight. I hope only to clarify requirements for salvation being careful not to add works of man. Of course we do work from Salvation not to salvation to achieve our sanctification just cannot work for our justification (grace alone,faith alone, Christ alone). Only my thoughts, forgive me if I sound divisive or wrong in my take, only wanting to help the body of Christ- again pastor Noland is clearly a gifted man of God, I have learned a great deal from his teachings. A believer and disciple of Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. May God bless everyone listening to these teaching on the end times fast approaching. A reminder we believers need to be faithful and watchful and ready for the Lord’s eventual return.

I am so happy God has brought me to you Pastor Allen. Even though I've always believe in the 5 fundamentals of God and I'm a Catholic, you're videos have brought me closer to God. Watching your videos have made me less ignorant than I was about the word of God. Before I didn't read the bible because I couldn't understand it. And I didn't trust the English translation version. But since you have gotten the education not only in the bible and other versions, you're also educated in the Greek and Hebrew languages to decipher the bible. Thank you and I will be watching.

Rev. 20:4 mentions those who died in Christ (Christians who did not go along with the evil of the beasts and they are those who will be resurrected to live a 1,000 years with Christ. That’s why we must run the race and few are they that hold true unto the end. Please compare that side to side.

Can we be raptured, one at a time, not one big rapture where everyone goes?

I think he’s describing how it is to be raptured alive. And after this when he keeps explaining it it is what the Bible says we will be a new creation because John is rapture and transformed into another matter who could be human form and still be in heaven.

Love this teaching, but all the yelling is annoying especially when you have headphones on I wish it was just a normal conversation. Sounds like he’s arguing with somebody. Thank you so much just a little constructive criticism. I love your newer videos. I’ve learned so much from you.

I like the way you teach and preach, I'm learning a lot. But I must say I respectfully disagree with the whole rapture scenario, it more seems to me like the 2nd coming of our lord Jesus Christ. That part where you are speaking about the dead in Christ being raised and the living being caught up to meet him in the air. That is the second coming of Christ and not a rapture.

The dead in christ rise first that throws me off? Where do they rise ffom I thought they are already with him?

Lol I do the same thing when I read books 😂. I just don’t want to read it if It gonna make me sad lol.

The church is SEEN AFTER chptr 4

PLEASE, DO ANGELS PRAY TO GOD!!!!

🕴⬆️soon

Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Church age saints Daniel 7:21 & Revelation 13:7 The anitchrist prevails. These are the Tribulation saints not the church because the church age saints have been rapture prior to the Time of Jacob's Trouble

Much ZEAL for the Lord....but..not in kn....

Please reconcile the "last trump" with your teachings as I didn't see how it fit into your sermon. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 KJV "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:" 1 Corinthians 15:52 KJV "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: aa for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." Revelation 10:1-3 KJV "And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: [2] And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, [3] And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices."

revelation 1/1 the revealing of yahawashi which the most high gave him to show his servants things which must shortly take place and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant john revelation 1/10 /11 /12I was in the spirit on the most high day and I heard behind me a loud voice saying I am the alpha and omega the first and the last what you see write in a book so according to the bible John was told what you see write in a book then I turned to see the voice that spoke to me according to the bible john turned to see who spoke to him revelation 1 /13/14/15 he saw one like the son of man his head and hair were white like wool and his eyes like a flame of fire and his feet like fine brass as burn in a furnace so why your reading about what john saw don't leave out according to the bible christ had wooly hair red eyes not blue or brown and his skin as burn in a furnace burn something in a furnace see what color it become so let the people know the truth don't leave that out yahawashi is a black man

I really really enjoy your teaching I love it but In the King James Bible in 1 Corinthians says at the last trumpet sounds not a trumpet sound I don’t believe in the rapture of the church I believe that Jesus will keeps us until the end the Bible says those who endure to the end shall be saved I believe we will be caught up in the sky with Jesus when he comes in the last trumpet sound I really enjoy your teaching I been listening from the start

The seven letters to the churches, were letters to real churches, not letters describing the whole age of the church, from the OT church in the wilderness (Acts 7:38) to the church of eternity, the bride of Christ!

Sorry...It's like the revelation was revealed to you rather than John in the manner of your speaking. I think the book of Revelation should be threaded carefully, as different people preaching the bible also comes to different interpretations, and also because it's still a prophecy but yes it which will ultimately come to pass. I think it should be learned and taught with humility but also with assurance, and not from one owns point of view to interpret as if it was given to him or that he has written it ( people of this generation). It's someone's else vision and God's prophecy to some one in the past and that we are only trying to understand them, so it should be taught with respect to the author (John) and not boast about our understanding his vision (prophecy).

I’ve heard pastors Allen Nolan and John MacArthur both preach on eschatology and there’s a few differences. 1. John MacArthur is a Calvinist 👎🏽. We’ll try not to be too biased based on that alone. 😃and people, Pastor Allen is 100% correct. Even though preaching that God made Hell for us and we had no choice on where we go (heaven or hell)is heretical, it’s a 2ndary issue. I have no doubt pastor MacArthur and many Calvinist are true Christians. Just like speaking in tongues is heretical unless it’s done as specified in the Bible. Which is two interpreters and Speaking in an actual earth language, and speaking in babble language is not a language and it is never interpreted. Jesus says to pray in silent and not speak in gibberish or gobbledygook. I am paraphrasing, for I am positive Jesus never used the word gobbledygook. 😂. For God does not hear or understand it. It means nothing. But it’s a 2ndary issue and many Pentecostals are saved. 2. Pastor John claims the angel opening the pit to the abyss is Jesus….wrong. Jesus is never referred to as an Angel in the Bible but he does have power over Hell and earth and heaven. That does not mean he opened the pit. He can and will delegate authority for someone else to do it. +2 for Pastor Allen so far. I’ll have to go back and listen to pastor MacAuthor’s sermon on revelation but that’s like downgrading from Carnegie Hall to a drive-in theatre after listening to Pastor Allen speak on it.

The rapture in Rev. 16:15 “Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.” As validated in Rev. 21:9 The New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb 9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

God said He created evil and good. He loved Jacob and hated Esau before either of them were born. It wasn’t satan that did all those things to Job but the All Mighty. At least that’s what the Bible says!

The Rapture is a Revelation chapter 12 two wings like an eagle was giving to the woman the woman is the Church of God to meet Other Woman in vs 1,,,, 12 crowns

The rapture is @ the 7th trump....rev 4:1-3 johns taken to heaven not us...we are in heaven rev 14....jesus with reapers scythe....15 we are seen in heaven on the sea of glass....this is the rapture the harvest. It happens only once at the last trump. We see the antichrist....no one escapes till the 7th trump. Be peepared to be persecuted and hated by all nations. pretrib is not biblical and words have to be twisted and you have to stand on your head to see that. Believe no man but study the scriptures for yourseves. You will be rewarded for it. You become closer and more secure in God.

You are reading into scripture here, assuming a lot of things.. We should read from the scripture not into the scripture. "After these" simple refers to after all the Christ has just told him...and no where does it suggests that the rapture has taken place...it's in our imagination... Use the seven trumpet to determine when the second coming of Jesus will be, Paul talk about the Last Trumpet and they are seven trumpet...read what happened after the 5th trumpet was blown.... I agree with most of your interpretation but don't agree with the parts you are assuming what the scripture says...it would be better to say this is what I understand rather than saying this is what it means...

This is a very poor teaching with far too many assumptions and additions to scripture. You should be careful because the teachers will be judged more strictly (James 3:1)

When you tell me my Bible is not a good translation and you can do better i lost all respect

My friends I have never see a spinner like this man too much leaning has made him mad. The subject does not need all these things this preacher is speaking, is all stories of no efficacy.
