Part 11 from a study through The Revelation of Jesus Christ. From Sunday, April 7, 2019, at Calvary Chapel Tri-Cities, Kennewick, WA. By Pastor Steve Whinery.
@19:00 it seems like he is making a very large distinction between the Bride of Christ and the rest of us. Does that mean gentile believers in Jesus Christ NOW are not the Bride of Christ? Does that mean that the rest of the revelation is only to the people “left behind” and not to us? 😯 Gentile believers want to escape out of the tribulation. But my Bible tells me that those who suffer with Christ will reign with Christ. So I guess we will not or we’re not supposed to or we don’t get to Reign with Christ? Either the whole Bible is for everybody for all time or it isn’t. John 3:16 says the world. Blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and who keep the things which are written in it [heeding them and taking them to heart]; for the time [of fulfillment] is near. HOW can we now HEED These words of the prophecy which include a WHOLE of revelation, Not just words being spoken to the church, if the church is not even here? After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a [war] trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.” Revelation 4:1 MUST TAKE PLACE AFTER......means ONLY exactly what it says .....after all this “HAPPENED”..... then comes. Take the words for exactly what they say. DO NOT stick in there a supposition ....worse the doctrinal teaching saying ALL THE REST of Revelation happens AFTER the removal of the church believers from the earth. Don’t presume that God said after the rapture John then COMES THIS? Revelation does NOT say ALL THE REST OF this is going to come after the Rapture.
After this I looked, and behold, a door was open in heaven, and the first voice which I heard, was as it were of a trumpet talking with me, saying, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be done hereafter. Revelation 4:1 “......as if it were a trumpet”......That simply means the voice was very loud. I’m sorry, I keep looking for very good revelation teachings. But, this gentleman is adding so what the Bible says. Giving his interpretation and failing to read simple English language and understand exactly what the words are saying.
This teaching doesn't get to the point what John really says in chapter 4 rather it goes so far from the text of chapter 4. Rapture is not mentioned in this text. "Atfer rhese things" are commonly repeated in Revelation as a way of John's expression. Please, don't put too much stuffs that creates all kinds of different stories.

Love your teaching! So clear, calm and concise!

Thank you for addressing the rapture.
So informative - keep teaching and preaching, Pastor!

That is the point what John says in ch 4.
