I hope Dr. Heiser's treasures in heaven are many. I sure treasure his wisdom and teaching style right now. Thank God for him. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
A Christian's treasures are placed in Heaven when we live out the Greatest Commandment in Mark 12, which is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself (paraphrased, but the context around that event is incredible). Dr. Heiser really broke the mold, and I love how in love I am with the Old Testament now. A great teacher is something to be held in high regard, and I have not seen a false note in any of Dr. Heiser's lectures.
4 min into this lecture and I can tell this man is the kind of teacher we desperately need more like
God called the late Dr. Heiser home last year. I can't wait to worship God by his side someday. He was a great man
I was planning on going to law school, but I'm feeling led to get a Master's and a Doctoral degree in Theology, and I am in prayerful discernment about it. I see a lot of Biblical illiteracy that needs to be addressed in the Body of Christ. Unlike Heiser, my favorite aspect of Scripture is what is to come. However, I do not marry my mind with any particular belief on timelines, because the Lord wins. However, we are told over 30 times to watch for these things in the NT so we will not be deceived.
@@andrewmarshall7569get both !
He had me at “I don’t care.” Some people look at me like I have too heads when I say end times theology isn’t much of a priority for me. There’s more important stuff in the Bible to focus on.
So true. Sadly, we're a lot closer to the end of things than most can imagine. When Trump came along God opened this born-again Jews eyes to where we are. 2Thess2:11 is exactly today. It's not out there far off, it's now. Luke 21:24 is fulfilled. Times almost up. Are you watching and praying or watching TV and playing games? It's the image of the Beast that brings all the false prophets and thieves. Rev 13:11-16 is America. Two horns like a Lamb? Jesus is the Lamb. Right-wing Christians and Catholics are NOT FOLLOWING JESUS. 1946themovie proves the Bible is not anti-gay. Compare Exodus 13:16, Rev 13:16 & Matt 5:29. The Mark of the Beast is SIN. 666=man making himself God. Same old story from the Garden of Eden. The Mark of God is the Holy Spirit. John 3:3. Most aren't being born of the Spirit because most Christians don't turn around (repent) from the world and its way. Right-wing bigotry and left-wing idolatry killed Christianity. I'm a born-again gay Jew. Times are up. Luke 21:24
@@TommyStahrfor your own sake please consider a couple things, first of all anyone who is fixated on homosexuality is missing Gods point, it’s no different from heterosexual fornication, please read Romans, also understand that God never changes so the things written in the OT or Torah came from Jesus who is eternal, there’s no condemnation but we only get one life to get it right, it’s not and never has been about US, it’s about dying to self and living for HIM
@@DevlinDomini I like Heiser but disagree with his stance on that issue. It’s actually very rude to say he doesn’t care about a specific topic in the Bible, as all God-given words are important.
I think it's an important issue in so far it impacts our walk with Christ and obedience. I'll tell people that if your eschatology doesn't produce encouragement, hope, endurance, and urgency towards the great Commission then you're probably thinking about it wrong. I don't think the Rapture theology does those first 3. It encourages an escapist mindset and dualism. Besides that I can see the merit in historic premil, amil, and post mil positions.
@@noahmidgette3943 . Luke 21:36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Appears Jesus was endorsing escaping the tribulation it’s important to make disciples AND watch not either or
I love your teaching Dr. Heiser. I miss you, and will see you again sir. God Bless.
Who are you talking to
@@SuperMofaux I wasn't talking to anyone. I was thinking...out loud. Why?
@@jj3164 It just sounded like you were addressing a dead man. Was just curious why you were doing that.
@@SuperMofaux whatever dude. I bet ur the life of the party wherever you go.
@@jj3164 people resort to personal attacks when they can’t win an argument. Have fun talking to dead people via RUclips comments.
It would be wonderful if all those who are to be "known by their love" would be as charitable as Dr. Heiser was to those of differing views.
Amen...from a pre-millenialist
AMEN!!!!! I get condemned by our brethren just for mentioning the rapture and quoting the apostles disciples... So mean and unloving. I've only met one who was kind to me.
So good. These are the issues we have to deal with.
Michael Heiser was a great and smart man.
That's why Wisconsin Synod Lutherans just say when you die you go to heaven or hell, when Christ returns, we get our glorified bodies back and heaven lasts forever.
Because we can't be sure about the rest, so why worry about it?
I also believe that the saints Will persevere no matter what we go through
My paster 75 years ago was "gifted" with prophecy. I couldn't read but I listened. I'm grateful because I am not scared blessings! I'll be 78 next month.
this dude spits straight fire
we getting beers later
Hahahah, Glory be the God, brother!!)
Justin Martyr Justin Martyr! The man was a serious Greek philosopher... AFTER HIS TRANSFORMATION IN YESHUA, eternal God... He makes a long discourse the things that the early Christians believe about the future... A time when even the carnivorous animals will no longer kill....!! BUT THEN... he says "but others among Us believe otherwise"
Indicating that in the first couple hundred years of Christianity... THEY REFUSED TO BE DEVISIVE... And they would avoid doctrinal disputes!
They considered the eschatology ideas to be assertive secondary mind candy from God to ponder and consider! NOT WEIGHTY ABSOLUTES... 😊. Just special things to come!
Good point!
Have to disagree with him in that if Revelation was written before 70AD then it is preterist. I don't think so. It's hard to believe 1/3 of ships being destroyed is the temple being destroyed, 1/3 of the streams and waters become bitter is the temple being destroyed, etc.
Even so, come Lord Jesus.
Wow. I’ve never heard anyone be so noncommittal about eschatology. It seems everyone has a strong opinion about it…until hearing this lecture.
He's more providing a survey of positions and critiquing all of them. He's not really trying to persuade anyone into a position.
The term “a 1000” never referred to a millennium like so many understand it. It was simply a phrase representing totality of number, where the exact number is irrelevant. The original language in Hebrew backs up this interpretation. This fact alone, wipes out the majority views we have today.
He’s noncommittal because all the end time systems have issues. When Dr. Heiser says eschatology is indeterminate that’s what he means. It’s cryptic because of spiritual wickedness in high places. The rebellious host of heaven seek out what the Lord’s plan is too. That’s why only God Almighty truly knows how the end times will play out.
@@davidsinger6577 They do have their issues, and largely because people who teach this do not even apply basic rules of hermeneutics. When it was referring to the end, it was actually referring to the end of the house of Israel on earth. They already went through their last days, and gone now, since AD73, a few years after the temple was destroyed.
@@davidsinger6577 yessssss. So true.
Jesus has fulfilled his promises
Christ said “I go to prepare a place for you”
God Rest This Good Man . . . my favorite theologian
I begin with the premise that the truth in scripture is knowable and that a false translation and/or interpretation will always result in a conflict with other verses or themes in the Bible. The one who gets it right is the one who has arrived at a translation and/or interpretation that harmonizes and does not conflict with the Bible. Having studied the Bible for over 120,000 hours, I believe the premises I just laid out are of uppermost importance. If the truth is not knowable, then we have all wasted our time and we might as well toss out our Bibles. Paul says something similar when he says if there is no resurrection then we are all lost, our faith is in vain, we are to be pitied over all others (paraphrased for clarification).
~ I just got here and thought of something. The theologies that take place in the phenomenal or real world, i.e. eschatology or say dispensationalism or new covenant theology - these are the ones that are most challenging in terms of difficult. These are the most with the most significant pain points with no current resolution. The theologies however that are metaphysical in scope, these are the ones with the least problems (e.g. Calvinism or Justification by Faith alone).
Leviticus 26:11-12 I will put my dwelling place among you, and I will not abhor you. I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people.
Revelation 7:4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
Promise will be fulfilled (Leviticus 26:3) for the Jews who "follow my (God's) decrees and are careful to obey my commands".

TOMORROW’S FEARS - Lili
Tomorrow when you wake again and find the world’s still here
With all the zest of yesterday to sadden or to cheer
There was no massive holocaust, no dead raised from the ground
His promise to float you up, journey to your trials
Will have to wait another day, trepidation all unfound.
And when this happens every day throughout the years to come
Will your faith grow stronger or will the doubts creep in?
No planning for the future here or there, your life embroiled in sin
For if he only takes the perfect, whose life on Earth was pure
What of the human aspect, into the fire succumb.
The holy ones judge each other, before the judgment day
From the pulpit condemn, decry, their fellow travelers as impure
The Judges of the Judges before the Earth implodes
And everyone made to account, the strongest voice not sure
A life of prayer gone all to waste, as confidence corrodes.
Why worry of a future bleak, why think of future fears
For if you try to change your fate, the world goes on unheeded
There’ll be no Tribulation, Man’s destruction his own doing
No God above, no day in Court, no casting out, all regrets unneeded
Why worry of the rantings of those who think they know
Of Spirits of the Underworld, pain and bliss, imaginations flow.
Just take what comes, tell your God of hate
Your life is not for him, your only life is yours
So be it if you shun control, he won’t control your fate
Your life on Earth is not to live with fear and shame and guilt
The guilt is his, he made the snake, he cannot now berate
Berate us for being human, Why then the potters hand did shake?
Our channel is looking for anyone who would like to articulate what Dr Heiser is speaking too in this video. Send us a message!
I don't think God wanted us to know, or He would have made it more plain to us
Well said
1 Corinthians 2:8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
i wonder if God hid these things to confuse the enemy.
@@samueldelgado1458 I think so!
Another great point!
@samueldelgado1458 of course that's why He hid these things. Those things were revealed to Paul for the Body of Christ Church after Israel fell and diminished. God is not dealing with Israel today. He is building the Body of Christ Church today. He goes back to dealing with Israel after this is Dispensation of Grace for the Gentiles is over. So combining Israel's doctrine with our doctrine, can only offer up total confusion.
The clearest way of explaining the milinial kingdom is by its discription. Chrst will rule with the saints. These saints are those who have died in Christ. This is before we receive our reserected bodies. Therefore it cannot be an Earthly kingdom The thousand years is explained by the people in those times didn't have a word for infinity. They would use the largest number they had to substitute which at that time was 1000. So the milinial meant an undetermined amount of time. So Christ rules as our King from the right and of the Father with the saints and will until Christ returns to judge the living and the dead. That's what the early church believed and makes the most sense. IMHO
8:30 Matthew referring to Hosea saying:” I am calling my son out of Egypt …. ‘ Jesus spent an indefinite time in Egypt after he was born …. Maybe Hosea predicted that event ……. ?
Heiser was a Legend. LOVE his teachings!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Read 1COR 15:52. At the last trumpet. How can you explain this away?
Is this the whole video or part of it. I am interested to hear what he spoke on tnis topic and i just began listening.
Ask God to reveal the truth of His Word to you. Realize we may not know some things here on earth
Study to show your approved unto God, a man rightly dividing the word of truth. God's not going to reveal anything to you until you obey the command of study.
@@jonlanier_ Depends. Thousands of Muslims are waking up every day saying Jesus came and told them everything at night and they are getting saved and preaching the gospel just like that because Jesus told them directly! This is happening in Gaza right now! The Holy Spirit is the truth and gives us the truth. We can read the bible with no love in our hearts and no anointing and not understand a thing. I know I did it for over 30 years till I was woken up and humbled by the Holy Spirit one day all alone at home praying my heart out for his help. I was asking for help with my hurt heart and I did not want to resent the person abusing me anymore. It was still going on and it was bad. I had to love them like Jesus loves them and God made it happen. He removed all my anxiety and I have not had an attack in over 3 years now. My depression was cured! I was also physically healed and now lay hands to heal others when I am out telling strangers about Jesus. So many are accepting because God is doing something special. He is pouring out his Spirit on all flesh! The end days of suffering are coming close and we need him now. The world around us needs him so bad! Tell them!
Don’t think Matthew was treating Hosea as if it were a prophecy directly. Seems likely he was drawing a parallel between Messiah and Israel to point out that like Israel Messiah would depart Egypt. However, where Israel would subsequently fail Messiah would inevitably succeed. This was to demonstrate to Israel that it’s election was not an end of itself, but to serve a higher purpose, which was to bring forth God’s true Son, the coming Messiah. Therefore, Hosea was in fact making an indirect reference to Messiah, which was what Matthew was alluding to.
You forgot predatist, it has already happened, some standing here will see my return, those who pierced him will see, some standing here will not pass away
What year were these filmed? The Driscoll reference seems to date it pre-Mars Hill collapse.
After 2015 I believe
Thanks yeah I’m narrowing it down. The boehner as speaker in congress reference puts it between 2011 and 2015
I believe he passed before Driscolls collapse? I’m not sure.
@@SJDJ0728 the fall of Mars Hill was 2014-2015. Dr Heiser died in February 2023.
Preterism and replacement theology go hand in hand. The belief that the Body of Christ has replaced Israel (the Bride) is easily refuted. The Bride is the subject of future prophetic fulfillment of the Kingdom on earth. The Body has it's citizenship and inheritance in heaven. That's why the Body is taken up before the tribulation (time of Jacob's trouble).
You can’t hear the voices very well so I spent a lot of time waiting for you to start again
16:22
Revelation 20:4-6 reveals a 1000 year reign of Christ on earth.
The kingdom is a covenant promise to Israel.
If we believers are the temple, (and I believe we are) then what is the Abomination that makes desolate?
G K Beale might be able to answer that question. Look up his talk on 2 Thessalonians.
I think God remembers the covenant with His people for His sake. Doesn't King Jesus rule the Kingdom from King David's throne?
This is the perfect position to take. Why? Because it’s not important. You don’t become “more ready” because you think Jesus is coming soon. Jesus was coming soon in the early church as well. Stop labeling yourself.
I'm going to post what God showed me from His word on the topic of the pre-trib rapture. I leave it up to you the reader to let God speak to you about this explanation . God pointed me to a passage of scripture that no one ever seems to start with as a basis for understanding this topic...because it is the bedrock . Originally, John wrote this to warn of teachers who claimed Jesus did not inhabit a physical body, and left no footprints when He walked, but it also applies to another form of attack on the person and work of Jesus Christ.
1st John 4:1-3
" Dear friends, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see if they are from God because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God but every spirit that DENIES that Jesus came in the flesh is not from God. This is the spirit of antichrist whom you have heard is coming and even now is in the world."
What does this have to do with the pre-trib rapture? Notice John's emphasis on Jesus Christ coming in the flesh because that was the only way He could take our sin upon Himself when He died on the cross. But...He also took something else upon Himself...God's WRATH...the WRATH we deserved for our sin. So when anyone teaches or believes that the Church will go through part or all of the Tribulation, which IS the WRATH of God on all Christ rejectors, they are in effect saying that Jesus never dealt with our WRATH problem on the cross. This is a form of DENYING that Jesus came in the flesh. Such teaching undermines the person and work of Jesus, and what did John say is behind this? The spirit of antichrist...the demonic.
Now, look at how Paul aligns with this understanding when he wrote to the Thessalonians on the topic of the rapture and Tribulation ..."You are NOT appointed unto WRATH..." everybody stops there, but look at the rest of the sentence ..."but to obtain SALVATION through Jesus Christ our Lord." Right there in that sentence Paul ties the pre-trib rapture back to the work of Jesus on the cross where SALVATION includes dealing with God's WRATH so the Christian will not be subject to it during the seven year period of WRATH called the Tribulation.
It is helpful to remember that Jesus and the cross are at the centre of everything including prophecy, so it's always best to start there. At the end of Revelation we read " The testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of prophecy".
MarkAnthony... The wrath of God is the Second Death. No one in Christ will experience that (Rev 20:6). There is no “7-year” tribulation written in Scripture; that arose from those who claim a Pre-Trib Rapture, which proposes a 2nd and 3rd coming of Christ, also not in Scripture, and that God can't count and has taken 2,000+ years to complete the 490 year prophecy of Daniel's 70 weeks. That position is in error, the 70th week (7 years), was fulfilled by Jesus and the Apostles. Christ can return at any minute for the resurrection and judgment; most of Revelation has already taken place during these 1000 years (an indeterminate long time), between His first and second comings.
@@Used777_07 Great! Then point me to the written secular evidence that the worst time in the history of the world already happened. We have ancient records of even minor earthquakes going back 3000 years, and minor famines, and all kind of natural disasters and wars. So show me the recorded records! And if you can't...then obviously you are wrong! Fact is, your understanding of scripture is so muddled that only help from God could straighten you out. Yes...I could disprove everything you say...but in Proverbs God warns me " Correct a fool lest he think he is wise in his own eyes"..."Don't correct a fool or you will be a fool yourself" . The bottom line? You'll can't win with a fool. With that wisdom in mind...I leave you to your folly.
God says to Israel:
“‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will frown on you no longer, for I am faithful,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will not be angry forever’” (Jer. 3:12)
“‘Return, faithless people,’ declares the Lord, ‘for I am your husband. I will choose you . . . and bring you to Zion” (Jer.3:14).
The Bible refutes a belief in a "divorce absolute" between YHWH and Israel. This means replacement theologians have judged unrighteously by claiming YHWH gave Israel a final divorce and replaced Israel with the Body of Christ. Israel is still the "Bride" to be perfected and married to the "Body" to fulfill all the prophecies relating to Israel.
While the Bible legislates human divorces, in the passages above, YHWH has different rules when it comes to dealing with Israel's divorce.
Human divorce is final, however, a man and his former wife can be married to each other again if the woman has remained single after their divorce.
Humans can fall away from YHWH and still be reunited back to him.
I see distinctions between the northern and southern kingdoms, but I still see all 12 tribes as Israel in end time prophecies.
He says none of these things are self-evident from the text… except that ppl who are interested in eschatology will often show several examples from scripture that prove their point, although I have never seen a preterist or a pretribber or an amillennilial prove their points from scripture because they fail miserably 😂
People tend to speculate or link two or more things that are only linked by suggestion and because they have become convinced they sell it as proof (when they are just rescuing their own emotions).
Happens with much more than just biblical eschatology.
Christ second coming occured in 70. We love His appearing!
Actually, that’s incorrect. The whole preterist position was created to relieve the Papacy from being considered the antichrist.
In Daniel 9 the End of the Seventy Weeks is stated before their beginning. At the conclusion of the seventy weeks, the following blessings are fulfilled:
1. to finish transgression,
2. to put an end to sin,
3. to atone for wickedness,
4. to bring in everlasting righteousness,
5. to seal up vision and prophecy and
6. to anoint the most holy.
The above blessings have not been fulfilled. Jesus' atonement certainly made those blessings possible, but "sin" and "everlasting righteousness" will only come to an end and reign on earth when Jesus returns and reigns as King. (Revelation 20:4-6)
Jesus made atonement for sin (Daniel 9:24)
Atonement by his death, "will be cut off” (Daniel 9:26).
"He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken."Isaiah 53:8
Isaiah identifies the Servant of Isaiah 52:13-53:12 as Jesus the messiah in Acts 8:32-35.
Matthew 24:30; 26:64
Jesus calls himself the "Son of Man" coming with clouds. This is described in Daniel 7:13-14.54
Jesus delivers his people from an evil tyrant and establishes the messianic kingdom which parallels the description of the Anointed One and his work in Daniel 9:24-27 and 55.
The preterist says end time events already took place in 70 A.D..
The Time Gap:
With the exception of heretics, all Christians believe in a time gap from when Israel is cut off in Romans 11 to when the Body of Christ is removed and the "Time of Jacob's Trouble" and the Kingdom Gospel is preached once again. This is a time in which Israel's prophetic plan is rekindled, the time gap ends at the rapture.
This time gap, filled by the Age of Grace, is not arrived at by employing an allegorizing hermeneutic, but rather, by believing what the Bible actually tells us. Christ Jesus will come again (Lk. 18:8; Jn. 14:1-3; Acts 1:11; Rev. 22:20). There will be a literal fulfillment of the kingdom on earth, and Israel will rule over the nations as priests.
The 70 Weeks prophecy is not at all unusual in containing a long time-gap between one aspect of its fulfillment and its final consummation. In many other OT prophetic passages there are predictions of a first and a second advent placed together without any apparent gap between them. An example is Micah 5:2:
“2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out from you will come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient times."
REV Bible.
Nobody doubts the literal truth of this prophecy when it speaks about a). the place of Messiah’s birth, or, b). the prophecies of the coming Messiah as originating in the days of old.
The dispensationalist view (literal, grammatical, historical) is that Jesus will indeed rule over Israel in the future. Those who prefer the allegorical approach say that Christ Jesus is now ruling spiritually over the Body of Christ, which replacement theology claims is the “New Israel.” Dispensationalists will look for a more literal interpretation of this prophecy. Why wouldn't we, since this is not the only prophecy about Jesus ruling over ethnic Israel that is yet to be fulfilled (Isaiah 9:6-7; Jeremiah 33:14-17; Luke. 1:31-33).
Another example of a Gap is in Matthew 24.
No one denies the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. however, in Matthew 24 other events are described that have not taken place from verses 21 to 51.
"for at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and it will never ever happen again." Matthew 24:21
Surely all the world wars and mass killings of the last century are worse than the events of 70 A.D.! The tribulation will top all events throughout history and we will never see such tribulation on earth again. That hasn't happened.
Jesus confirms the gap in prophetic fulfillment of the covenant promises to Israel in Luke 4:18-19, when he enters the synagogue and opens the Book of Isaiah.
In Luke 4:18-19 Jesus quotes Isaiah 61:1 and part of verse 2.
1. "The spirit of the Lord Yahweh is upon me; because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,
2. to proclaim the year of Yahweh’s favor,"
Jesus leaves out the last part of verse 2 which reads: "and the day of vengeance of our God: to comfort all that mourn."
This last part that Jesus didn't read is separated from what he did read by a comma. Why didn't he finish reading verse 2? Because Jesus only spoke the words his Father told him to speak, that's why!!
The part of the verse Jesus did not mention represents a long period of time, for nearly 2,000 years have passed and there has not been any "day of vengeance."
Why did Jesus stop reading where he did? Because Jesus had not come to fulfill that part of the prophecy. He fulfills that part at his second coming. This absolutely crushes the preterist view.
Now Look at Matthew 16:28 and it becomes obvious Jesus thought the Kingdom would come in the lifetime of his disciples. But that never happened. THEREFORE, something happened that YHWH had not revealed to Jesus, because after his resurrection his followers ask him:
“Wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” Acts 1:6,
Jesus answers by telling them it was not for them “to know the times or the seasons which the Father hath put in His own power.”
So, now we see that after the resurrection, the coming Kingdom is no longer part of the message for Israel until a later date. The kingdom was postponed or withdrawn until the end of the tribulation which takes place after the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled. Romans 11:25
The Gospel given to the apostles is still distinctly a Jewish message until Acts 13 when Paul is called to a new ministry which includes a new message and a ministry of reconciliation in which both Jews and Gentiles become equals.
The point of all the above is that Jesus cannot be God if he was unaware of the coming change in plans. Jesus only spoke the words his Father gave him to speak. For whatever reason, YHWH chose to not tell Jesus that his Kingdom was about to be postponed. Conclusion: Jesus is not God, Paul preached the same message as Peter for 14 years, from Acts 9 to the beginning of Acts 13. There is no record of any conflict between their messages until Act 15.
There are other examples for time gaps in prophecies, but the above should be sufficient for any reasonable man. No amount of evidence will convince and unreasonable man.
God's original plan has never been fulfilled, hence we need a 1000 year reign by Jesus fully man fully God ruling on earth.
AKingdom is promised.
We must also see what a world would like if we did not rebel.
I'm pretty sure God doesn't need 1000 years to get it right or correct it :)
ENOCH and ELIJAH GOT RAPTURED!!! JOHN AND THE CHURCH GOT RAPTURED IN REVELATION 4:1,2,3.....& IN 1 thessalonians 1:10 ...EVEN JESUS,WHICH DELIVERED US FROM THE WRATH TO COME!!!!!!
This is a Chuck Missler teaching. It's reading an interpretation into the text. Chuck was not a biblical scholar he had no formal education in biblical studies or any biblical languages. I know Chuck, I lived with him in New Zealand for a few months. I loved Chuck, he is with the Lord. But Chuck taught things that fit his own views and he had a mistrust for actual biblical scholarship for personal reasons.
Revelation 4 is NOT a rapture. It is a vision of what is coming hereafter. It literally says that. There is no mention of anyone except John.
1 Thessalonians 1:10 - Tribulation is what the beast does to the earth. Wrath is what YHVH does to the beast, So, yes. We are delivered from the wrath. But, that has nothing to do with the great tribulation.
1 Thessalonians 5:9 - The opposite of wrath is salvation. The beast does not have the authority to make that decision.
Jesus said the days of the tribulation are shortened for the elect's sake. If the elect are gone, shortening the days would be of no consequence to them.
Jesus gave instructions to His disciples for life during the tribulation. If they weren't going to be here, there would be no reason to do that.
He said immediately AFTER the tribulation, the elect would be gathered.
Throughout the NT, the church is called the elect.
Matthew 24:22-31, Mark 13:27, Luke 18:7, Romans 8:33, Romans 11:5, Colossians 3:12, 1 Thessalonians 1:4, 2 Timothy 2:10, Titus 1:1, 1 Peter 1:2, 1 Peter 5:13, 2 Peter 1:10, 2 John 1:1, 2 John 1:13
The parable of the wheat and tares teaches that both grow together until the Harvest. The Harvest is the end.
Why do we call him Greek Jesus (Iesous) when his name is Yeshua ישוע -Yahweh is salvation?
Why is “believe only” not the same as holding faithful to the commandments of Yahweh?
Why is the corporate “church” not the assembly or congregation of believers?
Why is there a belief that Yahweh would pour out his wrath on Yahweh in the flesh his set apart son Yeshua but not on the “once saved always saved rapture church”
Why is Lucifer the morning star in the old covenant, and “Jesus” in the new covenant found in Greek transliterated manuscripts?
Quotes from the Book of Job
The Hebrew version of James contains three direct quotes from the Book of Job in instances where the Greek version does not quote from the Old Testament at all?
These questions and more answered if only you would read a few books including the bible.
Stop watching or listening to propaganda videos from you tube.
By the way there is no Hebrew version of James. Lucifer is Latin not Hebrew, elohim council members were all stars (read 2nd temple Jewish literature. The new testament was written in koine Greek so Jesus is the English translation of the new testament and the old testament was written in Hebrew with some parts in Aramaic so Yeshua is translated into Joshua.
Seriously READ a Darn Book! All these things are so darn easy to debunk.
Kimgdom of God is real. Gods goverance will come when Jesus returns. Firsr js elimination of the evil and then this earth will be destroyed and new earth and new heaven where Jesus will be our light and we no longer need sun and moon.
Too complicated and confusing.Try and take what Jesus taught Paul at His word in 1Thessalonians 4 and 5 referring also to verses 9,10,11.Therefore encourage one another.
Believe Jesus and pray to God everyday.
End times inna hebrew book..
I do not trust his teachings because I never once heard him sharing the gospel to get anyone saved and I never hear him talk about getting anointed in the Holy Spirit. The heart must come first before we can have Gods knowledge of his will for us. I have nothing against him but where is the teaching anointing? Where is the worship? Worshiping intellect and how smart we are to figure out words on their own is all mans doing. The Holy Spirit has to give us the truth or we do not know it or know that we know anything. We need the Holy Spirit to confirm all we believe. The anointing is so powerful people we speak to while anointed end up affected and want to come to Jesus! Even strangers will see Christs love and become believers right away! Did this man lay hands an heal? Did he cast out demons on others? If not he did not believe what Jesus told us to do was meant for us to do. I did not know either till Jesus told me himself and showed me what to do. He set me free. I live in constant joy unspeakable full of glory. I wake up laughing with joy! I sing to God all day long and I read the bible for many hours. I wake up early to read a good portion of the bible each day. I have read it through in a single sitting. I could never do that before I got baptized in the fire.
The more we intellectualize the less we are sure of. These teaching seem to be confusing people and have man arguing that Heizer was too smart to be wrong about anything. People want someone to think for them.
If you read any of his books, you'll hear the gospel.
This is a great lecture to prove the biggest mystery of all. Which most people over look for some odd reason, or is someone twisting scripture. Hear me out. Think about what this man is saying and ask why is he asking so many questions? Also, it is really hard for me to tell if this man belongs to GOD, because he could be challenging your thoughts to come to his conclusion, or he really is deceived. Listen close now. The disciples asked Jesus why he spoke in parables, what did they say: “And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. So, Gods children are those who have Faith. Faith in what? The first girl to answer wasn’t just guessing. She was in fact correct. Here is what the writer of Hebrews said, 11:1 kjv “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” So the main question to ask the professor is this? What is hoped for and why can’t you know what the mysteries are?
And to piggyback off that; the king james Bible says in the book of Revelation ch 19:10 that “Jesus Christ “is” the spirit of prophecy! Which is completely at odds with this lecture. I have known the mysteries from the time that I accepted and then studied the word. Most people, like you say, are listening and following another man and possibly their beliefs in something. However, if we stay in the book, the book of John states in ch 14:26 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” Which is awesome to think about, really! I understanding things I do from the mere fact that I study the word (2.Timothy 2:15) have faith in Gods Holy Spirit to teach me “ALL THINGS REMEMBERED”. Which piggy backs right off what David’s prophecy said in 12:4 “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” And most will not listen to me because, “And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.” Matthew 13:14-17 kjv And “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6
The kingdom is a heirarchy of virtues. The kingdom of the world is like the animal kingdoms with apex like predatory characters are at the top of the food chain. The same sense our world glorifies the most selfish violent individuals whp are able to take whatever they please. But when God’s kingdoms is realized the glory will turn towards the meek and poor in spirit. God hates the proud but God loves the broken hearted. The heirarchy will change which is what the Kingdom is.
Im here because I care, and he opens with that he doesn't. I'll let myself out then.
19:00 On the 70th week of Daniel being 7 years of the Tribulation is not an assumption but a conclusion based on a lot of reasoning. It does a disservice to sincere, eschatological theologians to call it an assumption. It's fine to challenge the certitude of any conclusion but to talk of it as just being an assumption is unfair and arguably worse.
Assumption - Something taken for granted or accepted as true without proof
I also find issue with his not reading theologians after a point.
1) If you are going to critique the views of theologians, you need to fully understand their reasoning and the basis for their reasoning.
2) While I completely understand the thought of simply reading the source material, Scripture, this limits one's exposure to others who may have been led by the Spirit and come up with solid interpretation/understanding. I struggle with this myself in that, on one hand, I can put my faith in Scripture and the Sprit and, on the other hand, God has called others to also read and interpret and pass along to others.
It isn’t that he doesn’t read other theologians he has and not found their arguments compelling. If you assert that Daniel’s 70th week EQUALS the tribulation where is the textual evidence to think about it in this way? Many claim this but why should we?
@@johntessier8064
"It isn’t that he doesn’t read other theologians he has and not found their arguments compelling."
Since when does disagreement with a conclusion equate to someone must thus be making an assumption even though thorough reasoning is provided.
There are literally hundreds of books and videos on it. Pick your source. Me giving a high-level summary isn't going to do the subject service just as simply dismissing it does no service to the subject. Do you deny that? Are you simply unstudied? Or are you simply biased to your own conclusion or the conclusion of Hesier?
@@silverbackhayabusa There is absolute and very strong evidence that 70th week of Daniel was completed. There are many books written on that subject as well. IF you need your 7 years for your system to work so you feel good, have at it and Heiser says enjoy it, but do you know why?
@@Netgazum Just as there is absolute and very strong evidence that 70th week of Daniel was not completed. There are many books written on that subject as well. IF you need your 7 years to be completed for your system to work so you feel good, have at it and tons of people say enjoy it, but do you know why?
Don't be a clown, it goes both ways. That's why it's not settled. If you want to fanboy Heiser and use confirmation bias to support your belief, go right ahead.
I have heard compelling evidence for the 7 years being incomplete. Heiser acted like no compelling arguments or evidence exist for that position. He's no longer around to question what his motivation was for such a position whether it was dishonesty, disingenuousness, or derived from ignorance.
For a man who was as studied as he was to make such a claim defies logic and objectivity.
Now, next time you want to engage me and be condescending as though I'm ignorant and require an alternate fantasy to get by on, you can shove your condescension and logical fallacies and get muted.
Alternatively, act like a patient, humble, and gracious person (i.e. act like an actual Christian), and we can have a real discussion.
If you think my lack of acting as I urge you to act is a sign of hypocrisy, consider that it may instead be an honest attempt to feed you your own medicine so you get a clue to as how inappropriately you're engaging others.
The kingdom exists now. It is the realms of God and of heaven. We can see into it and live in it and know joy unspeakable every day all day. When we are born again we enter into the Kingdome in part. If the kingdom is not real how can God be real? I can not believe this is a question he is asking people to consider. God told us he is sending Jesus to earth to bring the new heaven with him to transform the earth into new heaven. This is called the rapture or the part we get caught up in the clouds. We are the temple the body of Christ! When Jesus brings heaven to earth for 1000 years to rule in peace the rules about needing a temple will not be needed as Jesus will be here in the flesh and glorified body. We will be with the Lord in heaven already. We are in the book of life if we are caught up in the cloud of God. Great minds are no match for the Holy Spirit discernment.
That was interesting how Dr. Heiser described Paul as schizophrenic~like behaviour. That sheds a lot of light.
This comment is unhelpful. For your sake, I’ll address the comment as though it is *not* a troll, and as if you simply didn’t understand.
That suggestion is made as a hypothetical query, and wasn’t expressed as a literal thing that Heiser believed. He is trying to point out that the passage cannot be translated into either direction so easily, and that neither interpretation can be safely ruled out, if this passage is viewed in isolation.
He goes into detail after with an explanation - he expounds that we cannot know what was exactly in Paul’s head at the time he wrote that. There was a deeper point he was making with the hypothetical.
It's because he truly does not know how to study the Bible properly. He is the wolf in sheep clothing, and you are all following a false teacher.
@@jonlanier_ I personally don't believe he was a false teacher; he passed away last year.. In regards to the comment he made, he was pointing I believe, to fallen angel/alien technology 𐕣 that was in play even back then, but that doesn't discount Paul, being human, and that he had a sin nature. God bless you! ✟
1:02:41
It is because the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God are two different Kingdoms.
The Kingdom of God is what we Christians are in now because the Holy Spirit is in us.
The Kingdom of Heaven is the kingdom promised to the Jews, which is a literal physical kingdom established by the Lord Jesus at the end of the tribulation.
If you don't know these two different kingdoms, you will mess up in many doctrines.
NOPE. Nowhere in scripture does it indicate that.
@@jonlanier_
3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
(Matthew 5)
As a Christian, are you going to inherit the earth (kingdom of heaven)?
Romans 14:17 King James Bible
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
How come the kingdom of God is a spiritual kingdom and the kingdom of heaven is a physical earthly kingdom, yet they are the same?
12And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
(Matthew 11)
If the Kingdom of God is the same as the Kingdom of heaven, why the kingdom of heaven suffered violence and violent take it by force?
Wake up! Pick up your mat and walk away from the empty cross at Golgotha. Why do you look for and worship our Lord at the place where He was crucified. He has risen to eternal life and has sent the Holy Spirit with the inauguration of His Kingdom with the fulfillmentof all things, which is now and in the Spirit. Enter into the Kingdom which is now in the Spirit, through the door (thura in greek), to see the Kingdom which is to come, which will be in the flesh. Nowhere in scripture does it indicate there will be two different people groups, because there is only one flock and one shepherd.
@@sentinaludo1489 Study the Bible for yourself and pray about it.
5These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matthew 10)
24But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.(Matthew 15)
Are you the lost sheep of the house of Israel?
The literal physical kingdom of heaven is for the house of Israel. It is prophesized in almost all prophets:
Ezekiel 48:35 King James Bible
It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.
Joel 3:21 King James Bible
For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.
Amos 9:15 King James Bible
And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
Obadiah 1:21 King James Bible
And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
Micah 7:20 King James Bible
Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
Zephaniah 3:20 King James Bible
At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.
Haggai 2:21 King James Bible
Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
Zechariah 14:20 King James Bible
In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
Zechariah 14:21 King James Bible
Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
This is the reason why the disciples asked the Lord Jesus:
6When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. (Acts 1)
Notice here, the Lord Jesus did not say they are wrong that the kingdom they are waiting for is a spiritual kingdom. Instead, the Lord Jesus tell them it is not the time yet. Then when will this literal physical kingdom come?
11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19)
This is the time, when the Lord Jesus come back from heaven with us to judge the antichrist and false prophet and their armies. The Lord Jesus will set up his millennium kingdom.
This is the time, the Lord Jesus gather his elects:
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matthew 24)
Which is prophesized in the Book of Ezekiel:
7So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 8And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. 9Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 10So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.11Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. 12Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. (Ezekiel 37)
You are right, when we are in Christ, we are one group, whether Jews or gentiles.
But there is also another group that the Lord will save, which is the nation of Israel.
But do you see the problem here? If you do not know the difference between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God, you will automatically think that Matthew 24:29-31 is talking about the rapture of the church, which makes you think the church is raptured after the tribulation. However, it is actually talking about the gathering of the nation of Israel, which are Jews.
Doctrines matter.
Silly.
Michael Heiser did not achieve anything with his 'open' view on the eschatology. Remember, God is not the author of confusion. The reason why he can't get the definite answer is because he is using ESV as his main Bible. If you rightly divide the God's words in the KJV, you can't be confused.
@@arqist I love when crazy people get out of the asylum.
@@LastFellowship sigh…
@@arqist yeah, *sigh* is right
KJ only people are like a cult.
@@LastFellowship There is a reason why there are ‘KJV-onlyists’ but not ‘ESV-onlyists’ or proponents of other modern translations. I encourage you to explore all perspectives and decide for yourself, as I did. Some KJV-onlyists may have weak support for their views because they haven’t studied enough and simply follow their favorite preacher’s beliefs. However, in my case, I tried to debunk KJV-onlyism but ended up becoming a KJV-onlyist myself. I found that it is the only translation that remains without contradictions and exhibits undeniable signs of divine inspiration, such as numerical patterns unique to the KJV, established long before the invention of personal computers. For more information, you can watch Brandon Peterson’s video on this topic. You can say all kinds of harsh things to me, but I will speak the truth. You will always be confused and will never get sound doctrine if you use other modern translations and not the KJV.
He is saying that he thinks it impossible that someone can read a passage of scripture with no preconceptions. I disagree. I think it is possible to read a passage and allow what you read to form a concept.
As an example, someone reads 1 Thes. 4 and 5, with no idea whether the rapture comes before wrath, or wrath before the rapture. They read of the catching up in 4:17, then read of the Day of the Lord (also called the Day of His wrath in Revelation) three verses later in Chapter 5. The reader can then believe that Paul's order would be the catching up first, then God's wrath beginning after the catching up. They did not assume any position beforehand: they allowed the TEXT to show them God's intent in the passage.
Your answer proves his point. Your example presupposes a rapture.
@@pastorrick727
Rick, no one has to presuppose a rapture. Paul wrote it and it became a part of the written Word of God. What many people disagree on is the question of when. Again, I don't think people have to pre-suppose the timing either. Paul wrote of the rapture (4:17) and three verses later mentions the Day of the Lord - just as if the two: rapture and Day of the Lord, are in some way connected. I believe they are connected: sometime during the rapture event, Jesus is going to open the 6th seal to begin the Day of the Lord.
I think this is confirmed in Revelation when John saw the just-raptured church in heaven as that great crowd, too large to number, right after the 6th seal.
@@LyleCooper Again, a presupposition. Paul didn’t write about a rapture. As a matter of fact the rapture is a modern construct. It didn’t exist for 18 centuries in Christianity. You negotiated with the text, using a presupposition, and came to an erroneous conclusion.
@@pastorrick727
Of course Paul wrote about a rapture or a harpazo: to forcibly snatch away. We find The Latin Vulgate translates the Greek ἁρπαγησόμεθα as rapiemur, where we get our English word, rapture.
Latin Vulgate
4:17 deinde nos qui vivimus qui relinquimur simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Domino in aera et sic semper cum Domino erimus
King James Version
4:17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
I believe you know this is found in your bible too. Perhaps then, what you are denying is what happens AFTER we are caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. Is that where we disconnect? We have at least three choices from there, since Paul did not specify.
We can all stay indefinitely in the air about some part of the earth.
We can descend back down to earth.
We can be taken to heaven.
Do you agree with one of these three? If not, then what do you choose after we are caught up?
" It didn’t exist for 18 centuries" I was not there for any one of those centuries, so I cannot say one way or another. A better question would be, what did Paul's students believe? I believe Ephraem or Pseudo Ehpraem may debunk your 18 century theory. Here is a quote:
""For all the saints and Elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins.""
Question: Where is the church in Rev. 19?
@@pastorrick727
Maybe we need to begin with "Good Morning." Please define "rapture" so we can begin on a level field.
I think most of the Christian world that believe in a rapture use that word to include the catching up of both the dead in Christ and those who are alive and remain in Christ who will be changed as they are caught up. Once both groups are in the air, then together the Bride will be caught up to meet Jesus in the air.
I accept this definition also. Paul never said where Jesus would take us from that point in the clouds where He was waiting.
Michael says "I dont care"...not sure if that's the right attitude 😏 BTW i am comitted to post-millenial after years of dabbling in rapture ready premillenial eschatology..and i think he misrepresenting postmillenialism by saying about utopia
he's doing these lectures for you not himself.
Paul said after that we who are alive and left we will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
When we read this in the English translation, it sounds like to us that it is a verb action, we are going to meet - but in reality, this is a noun. The literal reading of that is“to a meeting in the air with the Lord”. To a meeting… It is not a verb action, but we are going to a meeting in the air.
This word “a meeting” is only used four times in New Testament. Of course one of them is right here where Paul describes the second coming of Christ.
*It is used in Acts 28:15, where Luke is talking about the Christians in Rome who are going out to meet the Apostle Paul.
*It is used in Matt 25 by Jesus in the parable of the Virgins. Verses 1 & 6 when he talked about the wise virgins who went forth to meet the Bride Groom.
And this word seems to be a technical term that was use to describe an official welcome for a newly arrived dignitary. When an official came to the city, to pay an official visit, certain citizens of the community… a group of qualified citizens, would go forth to a meeting with him to escort him on to the final stages of his visit.
This is the picture that Paul is giving to us of the second coming of Jesus Christ. The saints of God both the living and the dead will go forth to a meeting in the air.
Hebrews 9:28 - Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation.
Greek word “appear” - optanomai. It means to be seen or appear or become visible.
Just as when Jesus came the first time he was seen, so he will be seen when he comes the second time, but… it is going to be much different.
The first time he came, he took on the nature of a man, he was seen as a man. But the second time he comes… the second time we are going to see him in all his glory.
We can’t imagine what it is going to be like. Peter says “but rejoice in much as you participate…. You may overjoyed when his glory is revealed.”
John writes: 1 John 3:2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
Imagine the glory… of seeing Jesus as he is. We can only imagine now what it is going to be like when Jesus comes back the second time, and we can finally see him and behold him in all his glory.
You see, the word Rapture does not exist in scripture. It was made up in the 1830s... No one at any time ever heard the word before that time... and so they had to build a fake teaching around it and take you on a merry-go-round trip of the Bible to try to explain something that does not exist.
This is NOT fulfilled yet: ISAIAH 66:23
Maybe listen to the talk again.
No one thinks non literal means not real. The Bible is mostly literal and is clear when it is not being literal. His spiritual view is his worldview and it is highly secular. He is out of touch with what others think because he does all the talking. I never heard him even pray to the Lord. Intellectualism is a trap that leads to confusion.
Absolutely not.
He casts so much doubt on being able to have any understanding of end times prophecies. He commits to apparently nothing. ThIs is entirely because he doesn't use the KJV Bible. It lays everything out perfectly.
Well, no. KJV is a translation. It is far from perfect. In fact it has had about 9 changes over the years because it have been inaccurate in places. You need to really know the original languages or at least be able to study off of them in some way. He commits to nothing because he really does not know.
@@jonlanier_
That's not your thought, you're just parroting the garbage you've heard- and want to believe. How pathetically weak does God have to be not to be able to preserve his word? The KJV Bible is the ONLY Bible that contains the truth. All other bibles have the spirit of antichrist in them.
He is clear on the point that all positions have their flaws. I agree with him.
@@jonlanier_ Those are minor typographic errors, unlike other modern translations which literally change the meaning. The KJV is the final true word of God. It can't be viewed as a mere translation. Just because God started with the Hebrew language doesn't mean the final Bible should be in the original language. English is the most influential language of the current era, and God already knows it. Check all the numerical patterns (which I consider God's authentic seal) that only work on the KJV and not other modern translations. Check Brandon Peterson's video on that, and you can't argue that the KJV is not perfect. It is mathematically perfect and doctrinally final, inspired by the Holy Spirit.
And understanding end times prophecies is not essential. It wasn't even essential for the APOSTLES to know regarding SALVATION because it was all a HUGE surprise to them they DIDN'T see coming!
