I had to laugh at your comment but in reality you're just getting out of school and going home for we need to stop speculating in life about this subject we are not fully living our lives to the fullest which is what God wants US to do and NOT dwell on all this evil doings that the bible mentions but still repent and live life at the ready and not in fear !!! Amen !!!
@@jeffreyelliott622you are correct. Becoming the human in dreams desires and story is what God has called us to do. Remember the guy who planted his money in the ground because he was afraid to invest? He got scolded
When the Lord returns, YOU will understand. There was NO pre-trib rapture. Mt24:29 AFTER, AFTER the tribulation. 2Thes 2:3 SHALL NOT COME, until the man of sin is REVEALED!!!
@@markhauserbible7168 “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” II Thessalonians 2:7-8 Antichrist cannot come until the restrainer is taken out of the way.
Matthew 24 is for the Jewish people, for whom the tribulation period is meant to bring them to know Jesus as Messiah. There is absolutely no need for the Church to remain, so the Church age will be over and are raptured out. God then turns His attention back to Israel so that they will believe. They are still His people. They will hear the 144,000 preaching the gospel and will believe.
I believe that we must be patient, our Lord knows when the right time is, don't be discouraged, and there are many scriptures that indicate the pre trib rapture
@@texaspreppermom Hey texasprep, if Matthew 24 is for the Jewish people only, then the salvation blood shed on the cross by Jesus Christ is for the Jewish people only? Right? Also, there is no such thing as a rapture event prior to Jesus’s return, as it’s not biblical!
I absolutely agree with everything. I have tried to witness to my co workers and others. They have closed their ears and want nothing to do with it. You cant even have a conversation about Christ with most people because they are so offended and against the idea that sin is bad and hell exist.
Yes, it is so disheartening that people do not want to hear or talk about Jesus. I feel surrounded by the secular world and run into very few Christians and this makes for a very sad life. I long for the day when I will be with all my true brothers and sisters in Christ and we can talk about God all day long. 👍👍👍
@@suesmith2398 Yes so will I……All they want to talk about is politics, if they would give Jesus the time they give political people, it would be a Blessing. It is sad they will be left behind going through the worst time ever, I just keep praying they turn to Jesus before it’s too late, that’s about all we can do 😐🙏🏻🙏
I have no one to witness to. I'm retired, so I don't have any coworkers. My friends and my family have stopped talking to me because I tried to witness to them. My neighbors only want to talk about politics. Such is life.
Hi, Pastor Don🌹 It was me who left that comment. I deleted it because I was concerned you might take it the wrong way, and I really didn’t want that. I just want to say thank you so much for mentioning it and for taking it in the way it was intended. It’s such a relief to know you appreciated the feedback. I always enjoy your teachings, and I’m grateful that you took the time to reflect on my comment and share your thoughts. God bless you, and thank you for all you do.🙏🌸😊
It was a good observation and Don's reply was excellent. This is the first video from Don I have seen...After two minutes in, I subscribed and will now continue to tune in. God bless! Maranatha.
"Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain"- James 5:7.
The beast with 7 heads and 10 horns is not mentioned until Rev 17. The church is not mentioned in Revelation after chapter 3. The church will not be on earth at that point. There is a ten economic region worldwide set up.
I firmly believe the pre-trib rapture will occurr way before all this other bible prophecy has taken place and my scripture to back it up is Mathew 24 verses 17-22 !!!
God bless you, brother. My spirit is weary. There is so much sadness and evil in this world. Thank God for His blessed hope that we will be taken home to be with our Savior soon! I pray for all the lost, I pray for the peace of Jerusalem, but I earnestly pray that Jesus raptures His Bride soon! God bless you ❤🙏🏻✝️
Anyone that does know the scriptures gets excited as we know it is a sign of our soon departure. I, too, pray for Israel all of the time. But the more prophecy is fulfilled, the more I know we are closer. I want to go home.
@@mountuplikeaneaglebingo! I was a pre tribber for 35 years because I listen to my pastor, books, movies etc… then I studied GODS word alone! No other influences. No pre trib rapture it’s very clear.
There will be peace in Jerusalem when Yeshua, Jesus Christ, takes His Throne to rule with a Rod of Iron. Praying earnestly for Peace in Jerusalem to Come 🙏🏼 OnlyJesuSaves ✝👑📖🇮🇱🙏🏼❤
The Rapture has not occurred because In the Holy Bible, 2 Peter 3:9 says, "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance". This is the season.
Does anyone feel like within this past year you’ve been drawn closer to God not of your own doing but his? Via removal of sin habits and/or just an over all turning of your focus to him. A renewal of faith if you will?
I don't think it's about a last person coming to Christ. It's more about the timing, the end of the Dispensation of Grace, the last call, the last trump.
@@kaydlc11 You pre-tribers are so funny. That is if you believe the pre-trib lie. This is when it ENDS. Jn6:39-40,44,54. And don't ask something stupid like; WHAT LAST DAY???
Don, this is the first video of yours I have seen, and I wanted to say how glad I am that I found it. I subscribed within two minutes of watching, and am glad to know your videos are there. Thank you for all you do. God bless. Maranatha.
When believers who are attuned to prophecy get excited about such things as the nations of Ezekiel 38 coming together, progression towards the third temple, etc. that does not mean we are excited about these things happening of and by themselves but what they indicate, what they portend. Prophetic scripture says these things are going to happen which are a harbinger, a signpost that the Lord is coming 1st for His Church then set about saving Israel and all who will believe before His second coming. We are living in a time where, not only daily but hourly, prophecy is moving at warp speed.
Im crying out for our god 🙏 please dont hide your self from us anymore we need you 🙏 show yourself and all your glory god !! Im begging on my knees 😩😭!!! I need your love answers and embrace 💗 !!
Hallelujah 🙌🏻!!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻.

I agree that we should look closer at Turkey ,,,Jesus has opened up this bible prophecy to me & I have total reason to research this word !it’s dry important to look serious at this country on the map !
So glad to see o many Bible teachers now on Facebook. I know what you mean about looking forward to the Rapture. My heart is torn because I have loved ones who are probably not saved...all the way to avowed atheist. I am praying and asking others to pray...right now, they are resistant to talking about Jesus.
There's never going to be "that last person". It's never going to happen. Babies being born would have to cease, every person on earth would have to reach maturity and make a decision for Jesus-that moment is never going to come. Start looking for some other reason why Jesus hasn't come back yet.
Your ark theory doesn't hold water. For one thing, God had already decided how many people were going on the ark before he told Noah to build it. ONLY 8 PEOPLE GOT INTO THE ARK - a VERY SMALL NUMBER. God isn't trying to coax anyone onto any ark. Read your Bible.
A SIGN NO ONE’S TALKING ABOUT! The last two red heifers must be sacrificed before the end of October…or they’ll be too old. So, why is Israel waiting so long? Why haven’t they reduced one of those heifers to ash, so they can begin to build their temple? Well, speaking as a 66-year old Bible teacher, who spends 12-15 hours buried in the Word all day, I have a theory… …that the sacrifice of the red heifer can NOT happen until the Holy Spirit and the gospel of the Cross are removed in the Harpazo…and Israel FINALLY finds herself in Daniel’s 70th “week”, during a 7 year period where that sacrifice can now take place. Could the Rapture happen during Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets… …then, 10 days later, Israel fries the red heifer on Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement? Fortunately, we’ll soon find out.🤩
"He who endures to the end shall be saved!" I believe in a post tribulation rapture, so we may be here for awhile. Unless we are put to death. "Blessed are the persecuted for My name's (Jesus) sake"
@johnmorgan7947 The hope isn't about the tribulation. It is about the first resurrection. I have heard people say there are tribulation saints and rapture saints. I see no indication of this in scripture. I also am not a Dispensationalist. I was shocked in my study of scripture to discover who the harlot is. There is a city described in Ezekiel, and other Old Testament prophets as a harlot that fornicates with the kings of the earth. It is Jerusalem!
The first time I've listened to you, very encouraged, thank you. I am looking forward to Jesus' return but everytime I feel my impatience rising, I think of all my friends and loved ones that don't know Christ. So, so many. So we continue to pray, to be faithful to the Lord, sharing with those around us and being a light in this world. God is so good, in Him we trust. God bless you Don.
Everyone PLEASE, if the rapture is NOT PRE GREAT TRIBULATION THEN KEEP GOING TO JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR EVEN IF UT MEANS BEING PERSECUTED, HARMED, AND EVEN IF IT MEANS PHYSICALLY DYING DO NOT TAKE THE MARK IF THE BEAST, DO NOT BOW TO THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST NOR THE BEAST. CHOOSE CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR EVEN, AND EVEN...OVER OUR LIFES. JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR LOVES YOU AND I LOVE YOU TOO, and I wanna be able to love Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior more truly and grow my love for Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior And for you too! I wanna love you all so much and I do love you, but I wanna grow my love for you all! Don't fear or be afraid, rest in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and look to Him. Seek Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and His kingdom
God led me to your channel this evening and I’m so very grateful! I really feel as though I’m actually learning a great deal from your teaching. Thank you so much. ❤🙏🏻♾️
Next week is super high watch! The 9th of Av is Monday, I think. Also, new wine season starts next week. Jesus said He would not drink of the vine until He drinks it “new” with us in His kingdom! 🍷
@@candyapple7445 Thank you for sharing. I did not know this about new wine season. Very interesting. Praying we go home next week if not today or tomorrow!
Don't get your hopes up on a rapture, because I promise you'll be let down time and again. It's worse when people say it's high watch period or give specific dates even. I hope there is a rapture but I'm not putting too much stock in it. I sort of believe that there we are here for the tribulation. jesus came once to save us from sin, and will come only one more time at the 2nd coming.
@@brettwilson7680 A pre-trib rapture is the only rapture scenario that makes sense biblically. We need to be present when Jesus opens the seals in Heaven that kick it all off. We come back with Him as part of the conquering army at the battle of Armageddon at the end of the Tribulation. Jesus said we are not appointed unto God’s wrath. He called the rapture our “blessed hope.” He said that when the wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, etc. BEGIN to happen, look up, because your redemption draws nigh. BEGIN means pre-trib.
Brother Don, Just found your channel. I ask God to bless you mightily. I was saved in a small Baptist Church in Waterloo Ala. It's great to have a Baptist foundational teaching channel to come to. I lovingly watch for the appearing of Jesus in the clouds. I am ready to go home. Thank you Brother...
@@61ranger188 If Friday night is the beginning of Saturday and it must be New Moon on a Saturday to be the moment Barack Hussein Obama gains Islamic prostration then it is November 1, 2024, and thus during America's election the Ottoman Empire is reformed and on that same day of Tuesday in November is the resurrection of the dead and the rapture. That Barack Hussein Obama is gaining the Islamic prostration either at the beginning of November or the end of November if you want to say it is Saturday night for full moon, then that would make it be November 30 when Barack Hussein Obama gains the prostration. Either way turn to Revelation 11:7-15 to explain what happens when Barack Hussein Obama gains the Islamic prostration. Ezekiel 44:1-3 “I turned back from a distance, the outer gate of the Holy sanctuary facing the East sealed shut, Yahweh uttered, “This gate shall be shut, open it not!” And a man shall enter in by it, Yahweh, the God of Israel has entered in, seal shut. For THE PRINCE shall sit, the evil one shall consume the bread in the face of Yahweh. He shall enter by treading over the distance to the porch of the gate and shall go out in the same way.” Barack Hussein Obama will die in Jerusalem just like Jesus. What day does he gain the Islamic prostration? Ezekiel 46:1-3 "Thus saith Adonai, Yahweh, "The Gate of the inner court facing the East shall be shut six working days, but open the Sabbath (Saturday), open the day of new moon. THE PRINCE shall enter by way of the porch of the gate from outside and stand by the post of the gate; then the priests and sacrifice shall make whole burnt offering, sacrifice and prostration at the threshold of the gate, and exit, and the gate shall not be shut until the evening. All the peoples of the land shall also worship at the doorway of the gate, before Yahweh on Sabbath and on new moon." You tell me? November 1, 2024, or November 30, 2024. I think we both know October is when Muslims fear Jews looking for Trumpets, so probably in October the Muslims in Gaza Strip and West Bank are slaying Jews to get to November with their success. THE FOUR PART ACT which ENDS ALL BREATHING ON THIS PLANET 1) Gaza Strip (a very small piece of land) proves the way to success so that 1.6 billion Muslims are super charged in their Islamic hatred. October 7, 2023 and Israel's response. Amos 1:6-7 “For thus saith Yahweh, “for three transgressions of Gaza, four, I will not revoke being against: they capture people at peace with them (1) and bring them to be shut up (2), bloody (3). And send fire over the wall of Gaza (4), and consume all of the citadels.” April 8, 2024 Revelation 12:15-16 "The serpent poured forth liquid, like a river, from the mouth, after the woman, in order that he might cause a flood. The Earth helped the woman, the Earth opened the mouth, swallowing the river which the dragon had poured from its' mouth." 2) Israel obliterates all of Iran from this planet and a good deal of Russia's population of humans and over 50% of their war making capabilities. Ezekiel 38:2 "Son of man, set the face upon God's Word, Gog and land Magog, for the prince of Russia, Meshech and Tubal, and I have prophesied of Allah." Ezekiel 38:3 "and utter, "Thus saith the Lord, Yahweh, "Behold I am against you, Gog, for the prince of Russia, Meschech and Tubal.""" Ezekiel 38:4 "and you will return by set hooks in your jaw, and come out with all your army, horses, horsemen, all, splendedly dressed, great company of buckler and shield, and all of you will be laid hold of by the sword." Ezekiel 38:5-6 "Persia will be run through in your future, all of you with shield and helmet, you worthless patients wounded in battle, all of you troops from a house from the recesses of the North, all you troops of many people." Ezekiel 38:7 "Prepare, and be firm in it! and all your company assembled about shall be imprisoned." Atheist Russia, that births animals, was put in Abyss to await a Lake of Fire before this year ends. You think a Gulag is tough Russians, just wait till you see the Abyss that fallen angels will inhabit human flesh to avoid, or any flesh for they begged Jesus for pig flesh. *************************************************** BREAK IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS PLAY, as the push for peace with the nation that obliterated Iran and cut Russia in half for humans and capabilities in war. John 5:43 “I am come in My Father's name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.” Luke 10:18 “and He (Jesus) said, “I saw Satan as Barack Obama.” Micah 6:16 "It is owed unto America, and all who work the deed and the house Ahaz ("he has grasp the ten") and watch and keep you with their strange counsel. Walk in it for the purpose; I will give you up to desolation. And your inhabitants shall be a derision, for you will bear and be a reproach my people." Job 20:25-29 “Draw out and go through the back, BARACK shall remove all strength, a dreadful overcoming shall flow forth. All is darkness, the reserve he has stored it up, an unfanned fire will devour consuming the survivor in his tent. The heavens shall reveal his iniquity and the Earth will rise up. The increase of his house will desist downward the run forth, the day of his anger. This wickedness of man is the portion of gods, and the inheritance decreed by the Word of God.” Luke 17:24 “Only as Barack Obama exits heavens in one part and then thus Allah Obama, then doeth the Son of man have His day.” Hosea 7:16 “Return ALLAH, deceive to ensnare their princes, they shall fall by the sword of an insolent tongue, they mocking in the land of Egypt” Ezekiel 46:1-3 "Thus saith Adonai, Yahweh, "The Gate of the inner court facing the East shall be shut six working days, but open the Sabbath (Saturday), open the day of new moon. THE PRINCE shall enter by way of the porch of the gate from outside and stand by the post of the gate; then the priests and sacrifice shall make whole burnt offering, sacrifice and prostration at the threshold of the gate, and exit, and the gate shall not be shut until the evening. All the peoples of the land shall also worship at the doorway of the gate, before Yahweh on Sabbath and on new moon." The day described above is November 30, 2024. *************************************************** 3) Gaza Strip shows grit and The West Bank opens the Golden Gate and joins with their brother to make Jerusalem, and all of Israel fall. Habakkuk 1:9-11 "All come, Hamas, assemble the horde of the east, gather the captives like sand. Mock the ruler, and their judgment a joke, laugh as all strongholds become rubble, seize them, then pass through like the wind, pass through guilty by the strength of your god.” Obadiah 1:10-11 “from out of Hamas, your brother (Gaza Strip), a deceiver, cover your shame, and you will be cut off forever. In that day you stood afar (The West Bank), on the day the strangers were carried away in strength (October 7, 2023). And the stranger entered to cast lots for Jerusalem, then you were one of them (success the second attack as both burrows work together).” Hosea 10:10 “It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows (West Bank and Gaza Strip).” Obadiah 1:12-13 “Do not gloat over your brother’s day of taking strangers captive (October 7, 2023), nor rejoice in the day the sons of Judah are destroyed, do not boast in the day of distress. You should NEVER ENTER AT THE GATE OF MY PEOPLE, in the day of their distress. Moreover do not gloat over their calamity in the day of their disaster, sending wealth in the day of disaster.” Habakkuk 3:11-13 "From the east the crescent stood at the heights, walking in the light of the weapons, the radiance of Barack (Husein Obama) from the thrust. There is indignation at his march on the Earth; in anger he trampled the nations. He went forth for the salvation of his people; for the salvation he's anointed. Now strike the head of the house of the wicked; lay him open from thigh to neck, commune with the Lifted High." 4) Russia and China begin the movement of using up all air on this planet with enough nuclear bombs to blow up all land mass three times over. Ezekiel 38:8 "After many days, you will be summoned again in this last year, go to the Earth restored from the sword (THAT IS ISRAEL IN REVELATION 11:7-15) for I gather out of many nations, from the mountain of Israel. That it come to pass continual ruin, except those that come out of the nations, and they live securely, all of them." Isaiah 14:27-31 "Yahweh is the head of a force of armies, who can plan to frustrate? If His hand is stretched out who can turn it back? For the year is the year of the brought down king, Ahaz ("ahaz" means "he has grasp the ten"). He is dead is the oracle to come. Rejoice not Palestine though now thee be whole, for the rod who struck has been broken. The serpent is at the root with a venom. It shall go forth as a fruit, a flying forth from the serpent. Those most hopeless shall lie down in bonds, and shall die at the root in need, for their remnant will be slain. Wail at the judgment, cry out city as you melt, O Palestine now whole. For smoke from the North, and none shall break rank." Psalms 97:1-3 “YAHWEH reigns on the Earth so rejoice, many lands shall rejoice in the clouds, a mass surrounded in righteousness, the judgment shall fall on the foundations, for His throne. Fire comes before to consume the adversaries round about.” Psalms 97:4 “BARACK lit up the whole world, the Earth, see it tremble.” Psalms 97:5-6 “The mountain melted like wax before the face of YAHWEH, before the face of YAHWEH, all the Earth. For the heavens declare His righteousness, all the peoples see His glory.”
The ten kings under Anti-Christ is the restored Ottoman Empire which reign for one literal hour. Seven empires reigned over Israel directly. The last came from the fourth beast, so the 8th is Western culture with British, French, Germanic, and American soldiers influencing the Middle East and Israel. Who tore apart the Ottoman Empire? Woodrow Wilson's "Determinism" after WWI's apocalypse in 1919 as all lines were drawn for all nations of the whole world at that time. 1) Babylon 2) Persia 3) Greece and Macedonia 4) Rome 5) The Holy Roman Empire which got saved like Nebuchadnezzar 6) Byzantine - a little while in Israel, but a very long time (necessary for life) and Muslims desired that Constantinople like a seat for Satan 7) The Ottoman Empire America with Barack Hussein Obama caused Arab Spring by a WikiLeaks and an Arab Apology tour ending with kissing the ring of the Saudi prince over the Ka'aba in Mecca and removing three kings in 29 days in 2011 with Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia losing their kings. He leadeth unto a restored Ottoman Empire. The clay is Islam and it got into Byzantine and Europe.

The scales are not falling off non believer's eyes no matter what is said in witnessing. The left behind tribulation people will wilt in terrible fear when they realize they thought Christians were crazy. We are ready to go but God is waiting still.
I wondered if demons fallen angels will turn against Lucifer and repent .Or is it too late for these God created creatures? Surely they are not happy following the dark one.
@@cherylross393 Nope , they are destined for the lake of fire when they rebelled against God with no forgiveness.The Bible does not specifically address the issue of fallen angels having an opportunity to repent, but we can gain some insight from what the Bible does say. First, Satan (Lucifer) was one of the highest angels, perhaps the highest (Ezekiel 28:14). Lucifer-and all the angels-were continually in God’s presence and had knowledge of the glory of God. Therefore, they had no excuse for rebelling against God and turning away from Him. They were not tempted. Lucifer and the other angels rebelling against God despite what they knew was the utmost evil. Second, God did not provide a plan of redemption for the angels as He did for mankind. The fall of the human race necessitated an atoning sacrifice for sin, and God provided that sacrifice in Jesus Christ. In His grace, God redeemed the human race and brought glory to Himself. No such sacrifice was planned for the angels. In addition, God referred to those angels who remain faithful to Him as His “elect angels” (1 Timothy 5:21). We know from the biblical doctrine of election that those whom God elects to salvation will be saved, and nothing can separate them from God’s love (Romans 8:38-39). Clearly, those angels who rebelled were not “elect angels” of God. Finally, the Bible gives us no reason to believe that angels would repent even if God gave them the chance (1 Peter 5:8). The fallen angels seem completely devoted to opposing God and attacking God’s people. The Bible says that the severity of God’s judgment varies according to how much knowledge a person possesses (Luke 12:48). The fallen angels, then, with the great knowledge they possessed, are greatly deserving of God’s wrath
The rapture is imminent, so from a human perspective, nothing needs to happen before it occurs. We just need to be about the Lord’s work until then, with the blessed hope of His soon return.

I totally agree and Turkey turning on Israel is one of the last pieces in the prophetic puzzle. God and Magog is really forming. We are right up against the tribulation so even I don't understand what God is waiting for. I do agree the people that haven't accepted Jesus yet have push the time further ahead.
Revelation 7:14 clearly states that both an innumerable amount of christians comes out of the GREAT tribulation and the 144000 sealed. Doesn't say a tribulation. So we are in the tribulation protected by God
Thanks Don. Appreciated. Yes, your discernment of the Word is as close to how I look and believe scripture reveals things in the near future to us as I have seen anywhere else. My prayers are for so many Christians that have not at least 'sensed' through the Spirit that we are in the final moments of the times of the Gentiles. The past 150 years or so has seen an acceleration and intensification of the birth pains as the end of 'normal' has approached and I have mixed feelings of excitement and concern. The church's vulnerable condition in many cases is not a small issue and prayer and discipline and focus on correct doctrine is critical as our enemy deceives and corrupts on so many fronts. The vulnerable are more exposed than ever and the divide in our young people is greater than before. Some are bold, strong and convicted, yet so many are looking to intellect and science for answers. Massive challenges in our day, yet the Lord is true to His Word! All the glory to Him. Maranatha!
The Tribulation is God's wrath. Christians have been killed in the past by man's wrath not by God. God said we are not subject to his wrath. The Tribulation is against unbelievers only.
@@Natasha-g5w8q How did all of the Apostle die, except for John? How did Steven die? The passage below reveals part of the tribulation period is the wrath of Satan upon those under the blood of the Lamb. Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

@@RamonaLisa71 Sorry for the confusion. I live in East Texas. When I said welcome to Gulf Port, I was welcoming you in Gulfport to the channel. I’m sorry.
Hi Don, thanks for the teachings. It’s the first time I’ve come across your RU-vid channel and enjoyed it. The evil one uses the different view points on the rapture to bring devision between God’s people - it gets ugly sometimes how people take each other on about this subject. Something else on the rapture topic. Many years ago (mid 80’s) after I got saved I was so consumed with the lookout for the rapture that I started losing interest why I’m here on earth - and that’s to live my life to the fullest. It wasn’t until it was shown to me that it will happen when it happens. I must just make sure I live my life in such a way that it is inline with what God wants from me. Yes, I must be aware of the signs but my life must go on and I must fulfill my purpose while I’m here. Have a great day. Theo
We're all very tired, the Lord knows this. But there must be some people who need to be saved yet. We're either not talking to them like we're supposed to or His own reasons. Testing us maybe? Romans 15:4-5 For whatever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
It’s interesting, in the 1599 Geneva Bible 2 Thessalonians 3:2 uses another form of apostasia (departing) Let no man deceiue you by any meanes: for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that that man of sinne be disclosed, euen the sonne of perdition. This makes the most sense to me considering that Paul was talking about the catching up of the redeemed.
Thank you so much for this analysis, the best I've heard in a long time of looking for information on the rapture... Also, it's really hard for me to get excited for the rapture althou I believe I'm doing everything on earth to go with the Lord and all of you. The thing is I can't stop mourning for those who will be left behind, but they don't want to listen. They refuse to. Still I just spent two days crying, bawling for them...someone else feels this way?
From my studies I came up with the meaning of "The falling away" is the departure of God's bride (The Rapture) I had always thought it was ppl leaving the church until I did a deep search.
I agree... Andy Woods does in depth teaching.. You are right and most pastors are wrong.... Not sure why they don't get this with all their studying they are supposed to do
@@IamAnson777Andy Woods and JD Farag have excellent studies on this and you are absolutely right. It is the apostasy or falling away which means the departure of the believers.
I appreciate your teaching. I can only find this kind of teaching on RU-vid. I cannot find a church where I live that teaches/preaches like this. Thank you.
I just found your channel, thank you for your study. I noticed a fascinating pattern in the NT Scriptures that may indicate what God is waiting for to rapture the bride. Jesus said to His Father before His arrest, I have finished saying what You gave me to say. Then we read of Paul, "finishing his course." Next we read of the two witnesses in Rev 11, being killed by the beast "when they have finished their testimony." What this may indicate is, when the bride has finished her course, her testimony of things to come, and said the things the Holy Spirit wants us to say, then we will be removed. I made a video about this on my channel. It's vid number one hundred eighty eight. Perhaps you'll be able to fill in anything I may have left out and find further evidence of this possibly being the reason we have not gone up yet. Is God waiting for us to finish our course? Thanks again for your video. Blessings to you sir.
@@Dazzwidd When we read Gen 24, we see that Abraham is a type and shadow of the Father, Isaac is a type of the Son, the un-named servant is the Holy Spirit, and Rebekah is a type the bride who the Holy Spirit travels a long distance to secure and bring back to the Father's estate, as a bride for the Son.
@@Dazzwidd I get what your saying but here's the verse you mention and what I've now come to believe it is saying, Rev 21:2 nasb, "And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, made ready AS A BRIDE adorned for her husband." 1st, when a girl gets married, her mother is all dolled up like a bride; hair, makeup, corsage, jewelry, fancy dress and shoes, but the mother is NOT the bride. The mother looks gorgeous but she is NOT the bride. She is adorned as a bride for the event and for her own husband, who is the bride's father. 2nd, Israel is called the wife of Father God but He told her that she committed harlotry. However, Father God prophesied that He would redeem His wife just like Hosea redeemed his harlot wife. Here's one of the numerous verses that teaches this. Isaiah 62:4 "It will not longer be said to you, 'forsaken,' Nor to your land it any longer be said, 'Desolate'; But you will be called, 'My delight is in her,' and your land, 'MARRIED'; For the Lord delights in you, and to Him your land will be married." I may not have done a good job of explaining but go watch Sue Keith's videos. She just goes by the word, not church traditions.
I was over my mom’s last night we were talking about everything going on in the world especially will Israel. We were both talking about how not much more at all had to happen before the church is taken. And which administration would be better for biblical prophecy to continue to occur
@@YahshuaismyeverythingNo rapture till the end, just the beginning of sorrows, Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, we all need to be overcomer's, we all need to run the race that is set before us that no man takes away our crown 👑, thing are going to intense more in the day to come. We need to keep our eyes on Christ Jesus, not in Egypt type of the world 🌎. God is bringing tribulation, His behind the beast system and is bringing in the mark of the beast to do a separation between His people, and the children of the devil. God is all Sovereign He wrote the book 📖. Satan is already defeated at the cross. All we need is to carry our cross and die to self and the World 🌎, We the body of Christ Jesus must be His witnesses to a dying generation, be the Light and the Salt of the earth, remember this that Christ Jesus is coming in His people Isaiah 60:1,2, before He comes for His people. You see Jesus never taught a pre rapture nor a pre trib rapture neither did the apostle's teach a pre rapture nor a pre trib rapture, the apostle said through many tribulations we shall enter the kingdom of heaven. They all a part of the Bride of Christ, they all suffered persecution from the Great Harlot and the daughter's and were killed by the Roman empire beast system of that day, and History is going to repeat itself again, for the Word of God says there is nothing new under the sun. So get Full of the Holy Ghost fill your lamp ( spiritual man )with oil 🪔 and your vessel ( that's your sou ) l with Holy Ghost oil 🪔, the church of Jesus Christ is going to shine one more time to this lost generation. The latter rain of the Holy Ghost is coming in His people, many are going to come into the kingdom of God in the tribulation, people that you thought didn't have hope are going to come to repentance through the Power of the Holy Ghost. But it comes with a price follow the Narrow road that lead's to life, Jesus said we must endure till the end. To the 7 churches. To be overcomer's just as He overcame. The Apostle Peter said that this false teachers have misinterpret Paul's epistles as they do others scripture's bringing themselves into their own destruction. The Bible says that he that teaches lies is part of the tail of the dragon Rev 12. So pre rapture, and pre trib rapture is a lie, and we are responsible for the blood of this people if we don't preach Truth, we must have the Love of the Truth. We must eat the whole Lamb 🐑 of God, it's head that's the mind of Christ, it's inward parts that's the whole Word, not pick and picking scripture that pleases the flesh. But eat everything that Christ Jesus taught. We must eat it's Legs, that's to walk as Jesus walked, partake of His suffering walking the Narrow road. And finish the course just as the apostle Paul said that there is a crown 👑 of righteousness waiting for him in that day, and which is that day it's at The Last Trump. The 1st resurrection and we which are alive shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, therefore comfort one another in Love. We are more than conquers through Christ Jesus our Lord. God bless.
Dear brother Don, God led me to watch this video and I'm so glad that I did. I ended up posting it on my Facebook timeline. You said in this video that we can ask questions. I don't have any questions about this video. It was very thorough. My question has to do with another video I watched today. Another brother posted it. It was about "being born again". He said that if a Christian believes that, then they are already dead and headed for hell. I've have to know the truth. He might be the one teaching a false doctrine. I appreciate your time! God bless you!
Any Christian should live as if they will die at 100, but KNOW they can DIE TODAY for any reason. It is not about "Hurry up Lord come back becasue I don't want to be here" for a Christian. It is "Lord, Thank You for being patient and longsuffering and not willing to pour out Your wrath, so use me to lead others to you while I have time because the consequences are eternal." It is a SHORT LIFE even at 100.
It's all because of Grace. It's Grace for us and Grace for the world. Grace for us because we get extra time to share the Gospel and Grace for the world because people can still turn to the Lord and escape the tribulation. So let's get busy.
Be encouraged brothers and sisters focus on the Lord and what he needs us to do and you will bot frow weary because he is strong and he is always with us
The gospel armor is so that we will stand in the evil day. I believe the message of Antichrist will be rapture, Zechariah, tells us of the baskets that fly into the land of Shinar (Babylon). Antichrist means "instead of Christ". He is a fake Messiah and only a remnant will not be deceived.
I’m so glad you mentioned Sudan, people mistake Ethiopia as one of the 10 nations and they maybe could be part of it but the scripture was referring to the region which is now modern day Sudan. They just signed a new military alliance with Russia and have given them access to their naval base, direct striking distance to Israel.
I know there is apostasy now, but ...The falling away is actually departure of the saints in the rapture. Andy Woods goes in depth teaching on this ... Saints leaving the church doesn't make sense in that verse . Apostasy first, then the antichrist? No . Rapture first, then antichrist revealed. Why don't more pastors realize this when they are educated at seminary?
Yessssss💗💗💗💗the falling away is the rapture and it will cause chaos on the earth I saw it in a dream Yahweh gave e and the rapture will kick off the tribulation period!
The rapture is the second coming of Christ. Scripture is very clear that the church will go through the great tribulation. There is no such thing as a pre trib rapture its a false doctrine and many still are trying to rationalize tjis doctrine and when it does not happen oh its something else. Dont be deceived brother we will go through the great tribulation just accept what the true word of God teaches.
Than what does the dead in christ shall rise first and we who are alive will meet up with them and the lord in the air the trumpet sound etc. What does all that mean?? ..thank you :)
@@timothyscott3116 That verse is in relation to His second coming has nothing to do with a pre trib rapture or the verse would of read before the coming of the Lord I will take my church or bride to be with me but it does not say that. Rather at His second coming the dead will go first then we who are alive will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air then come back down with Him. Nothing in that verse saids we will meet Him in the air to be taken to heaven for 7 years then return a third time that is a false teaching. Then you have the last trumpet that all believers will hear that ushers the second coming. Did you know that Matthew 24:29-31 paralells Rev 6. and 1 corinth 15:52 Paul is referring to Matthew 24:29-31. Brother God never once mentioned that He will take the church out of persecution and this will play out when the antichrist will persecute the church at the 3 1/2 yr period of the 7 yrs the great tribulation. Dont get the wrath of the antichrist mixed up with the wrath of God. The great tribulation will be a test for the saints as who will be loyal and endure to the end and those who will fall away and get the mark because they were afraid of being cast out from buying, selling and persecuted.
@@timothyscott3116 I think this refers to all the souls who have believed and died accepting and knowing Jesus Christ to be their Lord and Saviour. All the souls of those who have died over the past 2000 years will rise first, and any still living in the final day will then ascend too. From my understanding, these remaining living souls will ascend moments before the coming of the Lord
That’s what I’ve been led to understand. Jesus fulfilled Passover Unlevined Bread and Pentecost with his death burial resurrection and the Holy Spirit falling on the Church. He still has to fulfill the Feast of Trumpets Day of Atonement and Feast of Tabernacles with the rapture tribulation and Millennial Kingdom. The feast of trumpets is also known as no one knows the day or hour because it’s based off lunar cycles so it wasn’t when they wanted to do it rather when they saw the new moon because it signifies a new year. They blow 100 shofar blasts and the rapture is supposed to happen on the last trumpet. And I was also taught that the twinkling of an eye is a Jewish idiom for the period of time between two days and that when Jesus said that no one knew when the rapture would be, not even himself that was referring to the people of that specific time. Of course Jesus immediately Knew when it would be when he ascended back to Heaven because he is God
God bless everyone! depite original greek the word rapture does not even appear in the Bible, the true event that will happen is the caught up together in the clouds, 1 Tes 4:17 but the Lord "will not come until the falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed" 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 KJV
**Titus **2:13** Blessed Hope* ***GLORIOUS APPEARING*** **Rapture: Jesus coming in the Clouds with power and Great *****GLORY:***** Matt.24:30-31 Mark 13:26-27 Luke 21:27 Rev. 1:7 Rev.14:14-16 Dan.7:13-14 *1 Thess.**4:16**-17 IN THE CLOUDS* NO SCRIPTURES show Jesus coming in the Clouds at PRE TRIBULATION.
My denomination teaches The 2nd Coming but not The Rapture-but i have come to believe in it! However, I make a distinction between The Bride (those to be Raptured)& The Body(those that go thru The Trib)I couldn't see HIM allowing HIS Bride to go thru the tribulation at all but im starting to consider that mid-trib might be when The Rapture takes place for The Bride. It's not totally out of the question.
@@lcarole3131 There is an argument that can be made for the mid trib rapture, but I believe in the pre trib rapture. I also believe the bride is the body of Christ, I don’t see a difference. 1 Cor. 12:12
The man of sin is revealed before the day of the Lord (God's wrath poured out on earth in the great tribulation and the last chance for people to repent). The day of Christ in 2 Thess 2 is not the rapture (it probably should've been translated 'day of the Lord'). Those believers thought they had missed the rapture because of false teachers lying to them.
@@truth_matters777 The day of the Lord and the day of Christ are the same. Christ is the Lord, and the Lord is Christ. Read and understand 1 Thessalonians 5, and you will have the rapture timing. 1 Thessalonians 5 is a continuation of 1 Thessalonians 4, because of the conjunction word but at 1 Thessalonians 5:1. In 1 Thessalonians 5:2 the rapture is now called the day of the Lord , because what was spoken prior (1 Thessalonians 4) to what is continued spoken (1 Thessalonians 5:2). The rapture timing is no different than the days of Noe and Lot. The selfsame day Noe entered the ark, and the same day Lot left Sodom the fire fell. There is no pre tribulation rapture. Lot and Noe escaped pre wrath
@@DavidJongiboThe day of the Lord that comes like a thief in the night is NOT the rapture. Read 1 Thess 5:3 When they shall say peace and safety then SUDDEN DESTRUCTION cometh upon them. The great tribulation begins with the opening of the first seal and the four horsemen are released. That is the wrath of God being poured out.
