Hank I love your teaching on the false doctrine of the pre-trib rapture first taught by John Nelson Darby not all that long ago in the 1830s! People need to study church history to find out the truth and cross reference it with Biblical truth like you do and many of us do who study scripture. I totally agree with you on so much stuff the mainline churches have been teaching in error for decades. God bless you Hank and thank you for what you do for the Gospel. ✝️🙏✝️🙏
It doesn't matter whether believers will be raptured before the tribulation or after it. What matters is we must always be ready so that the day we die, we will be right with our God.
It mostly doesn't matter. But go ahead and tell someone who believes in pretrib rapture and see how nasty they get with you. Not all, but a good deal of these people have already fallen away.
It DOES matter in the sense that if you believe you're going to be captured and it never happens, you're going to be very disillusioned and lose faith because you have been taught wrong information! The "great falling away"! Pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib - they're all wrong. There is no SECRET rapture and then Christ coming back a third time! Read your Bibles!!
Hank is saying that there is no secret rapture it is more biblically called the Resurrection at Christs coming not a rapture. There is no Bible to support pretrib rapture. This was first started in the in the 1830s. The early church did not teach a rapture before the great tribulation that Jesus speaks of Matthew 24!
There is a pretrib rapture dear believer but not all those that believe in pretrib will go in pretrib.The Philadelphian saints are the church of BROTHERLY LOVE. The bride wants all saints to be harvested with the barley company at pretrib. The bulk of the church will reject the bridal calling. Believers will go to heaven when they are ready to be harvested. The crop must be ready before it can be harvested. Barley and wheat are both grain companies that are both planted at the same time, in the autumn. Barley matures faster than wheat and is harvested in the spring. BARLEY IS THE BRIDE, and she leaves at pretrib. Wheat is harvested in the summer. Wheat is the great multitude church gathered in Rev 7..... THE VIRGINS WITHOUT NUMBER AKA THE INNUMERABLE COMPANY! The final company, caught up at midtrib, before the open door is shut, are the grapes that are gathered at midtrib. The grapes are the 144,000 Jews. The Jews finally believe Christ is their king because they gleaned the truth from the Barley and wheat companies.
The Greek word from this term “rapture” is derived appears in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, translated “caught up.” The Latin translation of this verse used the word rapturo. The Greek word it translates is harpazo, which means to "snatch or take away".
@@granthodges3012 'caught up' from Thessalonians 4.17 does not translate to 'rapture'. To 'rapture' is to break off from something not to get caught up. Different meanings entirely. When you stretch the meaning of 'caught up' to incorporate 'rupture' you risk breaking the semantics involved. Punn intended.
@@oneoctavelow Understanding the Bible begins with the Greek text, in this context, the Greek word harpadzo. In Liddell and Scott, p. 245, the classic Greek Lexicon, the hardback version, which I am lucky to own, on p. 245 begins the long entry on harpadzo. The first three meanings in order are: 1. snatch away, carry off. 2 seize hastily, snatch up. 3. Seize, overpower, over master. The next two entries are variations on No. 3. So the Latin translations used the future passive of the Latin "rapio", to translate harpadzo, which is how it came in to English. The Latin lexical form is "rapiemur", "to seize, snatch, or carry away", pretty much a one to one translation. This is how "the Rapture" came into our English speech about I Thessalonians 4:17. This is first year Greek lore. So I am certain you didn't look this up in a Greek lexicon. And you certainly are totally wrong as is whoever told you your story above. So . . . . your punishment . . . :) . . . is . . . Read Romans 11 aloud slowly and each time you come to the word Israel or a pronoun that refers back to Israel, you must say "The Church" with gusto! Listen carefully to yourself and how what you are reading doesn't make any sense, and realize that All the nation of Israel WILL BE SAVED! Isn't that wonderful?!
@@oneoctavelow ignore the word "rapture" and study the word "Harpadzo" . I love Andy Woods sermon series on "The Rapture" aka Harpadzo! I used to be a post trib guy, so glad I got the wake up call.
@@granthodges3012it is hard for me to take people like you seriously on the topic of religion. I fear that the gnostics were closer to the truth than are today's bible literalists. It is in fact pitiful to see grown men be so wrong about understanding God. Bible literalism is the path to perdition and for most of you it's already too late.
@Nick-83 God would preserve then through those trials of course. But nothing about a pretribulation rapture - the idea that God is going to remove the Church from the Earth before the start of a future seven-year Great Tribulation that ends with Jesus' Second Coming and the start of the Millennium.
Easier said than done. Every time I think I've gotten it right, I've got about 20 different religious people telling me I've got it wrong. So, I figure, I'm better off listening to that quiet voice of God that reveals lessons to me from time to time. They make a lot more sense then all the preachers I've ever heard, and all the religious people I've ever encountered.
@@tarzanvineswinger7405 This passage is speaking about Israel, not the Church. "Thou has increased the nation, oh Lord...Lord in trouble have they visited Thee, they poured out a prayer when Thy chastening was upon them...Like a woman they cried out in their pangs...we have been with child. but we have not wrought deliverance on the earth...thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body they will arise...Come my people, enter into thy chambers and shut the doors about thee, hide thyselves as it were for a little moment...for behold the Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity." Isaiah is prayer this pray about his people Israel, not about the Church. God will hide Israel in the time of trouble.
Read and study the word of GOD AND be like the Berren in the book of acts who searched the scriptures daily to see if these things Paul spoke were true God's word is true your responsible for checking it out please do
@@brettkrueger9464 I've studied the Bible daily for over thirty years and found that these things are not true. There is no hint whatsoever of any of the variations of Dispensationalism as they are taught. There are of course two dispensations recorded in the Bible, the old and the new. The word "dispensation" comes from the Greek "oikonomos" which means, literally, "law of the house." In the beginning, God created man in His image and dwelt with him in Eden. Under the Old Covenant, God's "house" became the Temple. It was were His glory dwelt, for a time. Moses was the steward of that House and "dispensed" the law to the people. In the fulness of time, Jesus became the true Temple, the dwelling place of God. It was in Him that the glory and the fulness of the godhead dwelt. After Jesus death and resurrection, He ascended to the right hand of the Father. From there He sent His Spirit, and those who believe become Living Stones in the Temple of Christ's Body, filled with all the fulness of God, and changed from glory to glory into His image. Paul is the steward of God's New Testament House, dispensing the Law of Christ to God's people. It's as simple as that. The Church is pictured as a holy City, a Bride made up of walls with the names of the twelve apostles, and gates with the names of the twelve tribes. Apart from the Church, Israel after the flesh has no inheritance. God does not have two peoples, an earthly Israel and a heavenly Church. God and the Lamb dwell in the midst of the Holy City, the HEAVENLY Jerusalem, a people crucified with Christ and raised up, seated with Him in heavenly places. God's Kingdom is not of this world. If it were, His servants would fight to bring it to pass. The writer of Hebrews tells us, "...You have come to Mount Zion...the church of the Firstborn whose names are written in heaven..." Read the rest of Paul and you will find that God's ETERNAL PURPOSE from the foundation of the world is to bring all things in heaven and earth and under the earth, together IN CHRIST. It is not to separate the earthly and the heavenly as Dispensationalist claim. The Church is the fulfillment, or culmination of the ages (I Corinthians 10), the fulfillment of all the types and shadows of the Old Testament, for "the Testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." I grew up a Dispensationalist, believing in a Pretrib rapture. I had all the books and DVDs and tapes and charts and understood it all. I listened to all of the TV preachers, Lindsey, Stone, VanImpe, Walvoord, etc. Then I began studying the Bible and found none of these things they taught. In Dispensationalism, passages as wrested out of context, words and terms and definition are conflated, a priori assumptions are made and the literal hermeneutic that Dispensationalists claim to use consistently, is only used when a passage seems to support their theory. Those that contradict their theory are conveniently place in the "for Israel" category. Great tribulation becomes the wrath of God, even though it is the antichrist who perpetuates this great tribulation after the placing of the abomination. John is said to represent the Church in Revelation 4 when he is purported to be raptured, but then for some unknown reason, when he is taken into the wilderness he ceases to be the Church. Paul, quoting Isaiah, tells us that "though they be like the sands of the seashore, only a remnant will be saved. Later He tells us that "in this manner, all Israel will be saved." Logic tells of that "all Israel" and the "remnant" must be describing the same group of people. He also tells us that that remnant was being saved in His day, just as the remnant was being saved in Elijah's day. And that remnant will continue to be saved until the fullness of the Gentile is come into that remnant of Israel, the Olive Tree. (The implication of God's people being an Olive Tree is that they are filled with olive oil, a symbol of the Holy Spirit.) Under the Old Covenant, God's chosen people consisted of an earthly kingdom. Under the New Covenant, His people consist of a remnant of faith OUT OF the earthly nation, NOT the entire nation. The Kingdom was taken away from Israel a given to a people (the remnant of Israel) who would bear the fruit of the Kingdom. Under the Law, there is no fruit, for the Law brings wrath, and a curse. With the coming of the Spirit, a believing remnant of Israel was born again and became fruitful. It is this faithful and fruitful Israel that Gentiles are grafted into, and those unbelieving branches of Israel that were broken off because of unbelief, in order to be saved, can only be saved by receiving the Spirit through faith. Of course, this Spirit is the same Spirit that Dispensationalist say is removed with the Church at the rapture. And somehow, void of the Spirit, 144,000 Jewish "evangelists?" (something never indicated in the text) will bear the fruit of salvation, bringing a multitude into the Kingdom (a different Kingdom that the one Christ rules over, which is not of this world.) Anyway, Dispensationalism is a complex web of deceit and sleight of hand, and that is why it is so hard to disprove. It takes years of study to unravel the complex web of lies.
@@silenceseeker5456 Enoch received (the easy way out) because he did not go through the experience of the great flood where only eight souls were saved by water
The rapture will be at the last trumpet. (like it is written in scriptures below) (before the 7 bowls of the wrath of God) Revelation 10 -7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the MYSTERY of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 1 Corinthians 15 -51 Behold, I shew you a MYSTERY; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed -52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, AT THE LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Thessalonians 4 -16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the TRUMPET of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise -17 After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
@@1516Taylor That was 500 years before the flood. He could also die in that time. A very weak argument and it applies to all Rapture views, because the destruction of the wicked comes at His wrath after the GT at His 2nd coming, not before. Study the Day of the Lord and God's wrath in the Greek,(LITV bible), it will open your eyes.
I find it absolutely amazing that an intellect like this actually implies J.N. Darby as being the one who devised the pretrib Rapture. He really ought to contact Lee Brainard, who has discovered dozens of ECFs who taught the pretrib Rapture.
Lee is doing a superb job in finding more ECF's that support the Pretrib doctrine. The 'Bible Answer Man' would do well to actually believe what the Bible states. But I suspect his pride would never allow it.
Oh then I have good question who are the people that are alive during the millennium reign? Since the church is taken in the end with Christ and the rest die with the antichrist? Right? So who are those people?
Christians are not going to face great tribulation because its Jacobs trouble. Christian have job to do now, and they're being persecuted for this all their life, and moreover, a christian life is a sacrificial life. It's started with Jews its going to end with Jews.
The book of revelation says that the antichrist will make war with the Saints of God. That cannot happen if there’s a “pretribulation” rapture. Furthermore, the book of revelations also describes a great multitude of people greater than any man can count, coming out from within the great tribulation having wash the robes in the blood of Jesus Christ. That also cannot happen if there is a “pretribulation”.
@Reverend Turmoil Revelation 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
So if the second coming was in 70 AD, then that means there is no more salvation, no more Gospel, no more elect, and no resurrection. It means there is no more Christianity. These are the consequences of full preterism.
@@70AD-user45 no one typed or said the 2ndcoming was in 70 a.d.,it was the 3.5 year tribulation Daniel prophesied,,,if revelation was written after 70 a.d.john would have written about it.
@@70AD-user45 70 AD was not the second coming. It was the judgement on "this generation" spoken of in Matthew 24:34. So thankfully we still have Christianity until Jesus returns a 2nd time. whew that was close!

@@dist221 Are you taking all those verses literally? It's what you call Hebraic apocalyptic language which was written using hyperbolic (exaggerated) language. You need to find out what those verses SYMBOLISE? For example, what does it mean that the Son of Man will "come on the clouds of heaven"? Obviously this is symbolic language.
We just need to be ready regardless of what God decides to do...but this video is so needed because some Christians are hanging thier hat on this pre tribulation hope. We want to have our spirits ready for if we are persecuted in the tribulation knowing that is where our victory is at just like the son of man who lied his down before us.
The first chapters of Revelation exhort the churches to overcome. How did Jesus overcome? By submitting to death. Therefore God exalted Him and gave Him the Name that is above every other name. Pretribbers believer they will be exalted without even having to overcome anything. But what are those things that the Spirit is urging the churches to overcome? The very things that are revealed in the rest of Revelation. The NT tells us to consider it pure joy when we face trials of many kinds, knowing that the testing of our faith develops perseverance, and perseverance makes us mature and perfects our faith. Paul urged us to rejoice in suffering and to be patient in tribulation, and he longed to fill up in his flesh the sufferings of Christ, being made like Him in His death, so as to somehow attain to the resurrection of the dead. We are told over and over against to watch and pray. Pretribbers think this means to watch for the rapture. But that is not the meaning. It means to watch, be on guard, be careful, lest we fall into temptation and deception. Jesus, during His hour of temptation in Gethsemane, urged the disciple to watch and pray. When they had fallen asleep, He asked, Could you not watch for one hour? This is a type of the hour of temptation in Revelation. Like Peter, many will be caught unaware and will fall away like the seed sown on throne ground. When trouble and persecution come, because they have no root, they will quickly wither. Unfortunately, they will not heed any of the warnings because they believe that they are for Israel and not the Church. They have been deceived by the false doctrine called Dispensationalism.
Mate, do you have personal relationship with The Lord? When conveying his Rapture Message to Thessalonians, did not Paul the Apostle say, " wesay unto you by the word of The Lord" (1 Thessalonians chapter 4 vs. 13-18). It was The Lord"s Message Paul was delivering to the people of God, NOT his own fanciful fable! How could you and other Saints absorb any nauseatic doubts from boffins like this one on the video? Did not our Lord Yeshua The Messiah warn us as the primary thing, to watch out that no man deceive you? (Matthew 24:4). What more could one say?
@@lawrencegarcia1675 That’s an assumption…your assuming that fear of the tribulation is what’s going to keep us following Christ when it’s the fear or reverence for the Lord that will keep us not the fear of a event. In the tribulation there will still be people that will deny Christ so that event cannot be our reason.
Pretrib is biblical. The command is to be looking for the return of Christ not the appearance of antichrist. The church is never mentioned after chapter 3 in revelation.
"YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT." In my humble experience, there is much pride found in those coming against rapture. They often call names and get very angry. They insist those who believe in the pre tribulation rapture think they are better than others and stupid to think they can get into heaven without dying for Christ. They create fear and confusion. The truth is, millions have been saved throughout history without dying a horrible death for Christ. Why some had to, is for the Living God Jesus to decide. "What's it to you if I want him kept alive until I come back?" The truth is the saved Christian can and does suffer each day on this wicked dying planet. The truth is true belief Jesus Christ crucified and risen is more than enough to be saved. It is the ONLY requirement. The idea you must suffer and die for your salvation is blatantly blasphemous. Period. For all their anger and insistence they are right and we all must die to be worthy, the TRUTH of Jesus Christ and HIS Worthyness stands. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Name the scholars, pastors, teachers, etc. that taught or preached on the (7) year pre-tribulation rapture before 1830... I have searched for over (3) years and can find NONE. John Wycliffe, Martin Luther, and Sir Issac Newton did NOT believe in this theory.
Amen. We are NOT appointed to WRATH at all. We are told to WATCH. We certainly don’t have to watch for the Second Coming. How silly. That day is easy to figure out. The only reason to watch is because it’s a PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE. I CANNOT WAIT!
Preterist are just as much dangerous as pre tribulation rapture and they are false. Pre millennium post tribulation rapture is historically and biblically true.

The Holy Spirit completely changed my understanding of His second coming about 30 years ago. I don't go around advertising that I don't believe in a pre tribulation rapture, but only share it when He opens the door, tells me who to share the truth with, and He did just that about 30 minutes ago. Thank you for sharing this, it's something I'll forward t her as confirmation of my own words.
Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:52 - In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. We are changed at the LAST TRUMP and where is this found?
In REVELATION, the LAST BOOK of the Bible there are 7 trumps and the 7th trump is the LAST ONE and is at the end of the tribulation. there is not a 7th last trump prior to the tribulation.
It wasnt Holy Spirit, but a spirit of deception who stole your hope and in turn you pass along your lack of faith in God's promises of rescuing the righteous before pouring His wrath out on the wicked
@@jbsikes6841 these deceivers never have any content on their channel, nor do they share any Bible scriptures to prove their point. They can not since there are no clear verses that prove the pre trib rapture as being true. it is a lie people. 10 of the 12 apostles died for their faith.
There are many more who have died than 10. This proves nothing. The nature and character of God is to rescue the righteous before pouring out Hos wrath on the ungodly. This has nothing to do with persecution. This is why you dont get it. Also the rapture is not the second coming, which is His glorious appearing when every eye shall see him.
IDK I always felt the rapture teaching is very American like our brothers and sisters suffer so badly but we think we’ll be raptured before it gets so bad here.

@@samanthagirikhanov2796 that verse is proof that there is NO such thing as a pre-trib rapture. Think about this, all Christ disciples went through tribulation. The apostles went through tribulation.

I actually had to go back and read your original post again, I was thinking you believed in the rapture theory. But you're right it's a very American thing. So many people will be shocked and turn away from God once they find out the rapture is just one big lie!
I am 73 years old, and have studied the bible for many years since my faith in God. I fully support the view of this teaching. It's due to the pretribulation teaching by churches, that my wife and I don't attend the modern churches anymore. The great tribulation started when Jesus ascended to heaven. When He comes back, he will take the new spiritual Israel to himself which includes all born again believers including all messianic jews.
So you forsake to assemble yourself together, because the church doesn’t teach your view of the end times 🤔 guess you really aren’t concerned with what the Bible says anyway 🤷♂️
If both the Saved and the Unsaved are Raised simultaneously and Judged as you CLAIM, what about Revelation 20:5-6, Which says, "The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.!

The Second Death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.!!🤔✝️👀🫠♎️🕎🙋♂️
1. Why then watch and pray, "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 31:36. Why is there a 1st Resurrection (of which Jesus Christ is The First Fruits?) 2. There is still 1 week missing in Daniel's 70 weeks prophesy, 7+62=69 having been fulfilled. Also, these 69 were fulfilled by Israel. 3. Revelation informs us in The Word of God that the anti-christ will put an end to sacrifice 3 1/2 years into the 7 year period / covenant that is signed. Israel, must declare / say "Blessed is He who comes in The Name of The Lord" and they will do this when they realize that Jesus Christ is their Messiah. 4. Can you explain the appearing of Jesus IN THE CLOUDS vs His Feet touching / landing on the Mount of Olives. Appearing for those waiting and expecting Him and for those rejecting Him, like a thief in the night. Landing on the Mount of Olives, every eye will see Him.
1. The Greek says watch and pray that you may have the strength (to overcome), to escape. There is an escape from and out of trial, God makes a way of escape out of trouble (Ps 124:7+8; 2.Peter 2:9). The context says we will see all these things (Mat 24:15+33). The FIRST RESURRECTION is the first (proton) of two resurrections, the next is 1000 years later, not 1007 (Rev 20:4-6). The First fruits are the first of a harvest of 3 resurrections with a changed body, afterwards ALL believers in Christ, dead and alive at His parousia = advent, that is after the GT (Mat 24:29-31)and includes the Saints of the Tribulation. There is no resurrection nor a coming of Christ before the last 7 years! Not in the bible. Then comes the end, the last resurrection of the just and unjust after the Millennium. You make the First Resurrection to the second, the Greek word protos is always the first of the following ones, it does not go backwards. In Rev 20:4-6 it is the first of the believers in Christ, the First-fruits are OT saints. 4. Your problem with Mat 24:29-31 is you cannot see, that Jesus does not come to the earth and lands on the mount of Olives, He comes in the clouds and gathers His elect, which are NT believers (1.Peter 1:2}, not surviving Jews. The Jews and the nations come to Jerusalem in the Millennium (Jesus sits on the throne, to judge the nations) after His coming in the air. The gathering through the angels is the harvest (Mat 13:30:39+49), not the coming of the Jews to Jerusalem. The gathering of Mat 24:31 is the same as 2. Thess 2:1 unto Him, Who is in the air. The Jews are brought by Gentiles in earthly vessels (Isa 66:20; 14:2; 49:22), God makes a highway for them (Isa 11:15+16).

Romans 3:1-4 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? [2] Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. [3] For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? [4] God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Psalm 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Psalm 119:128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

There is no other book likened to a particular book men call (the King James Bible) having all the required mate lines which prove it to be perfect. All other books when examined and the spirits are tried are found to condemn themselves.

How does the marriage of the Lamb fit into a post-tribulation view? When does it take place? In Revelation 19, the marriage of the Lamb precedes the return of Jesus to earth. If the whole church/ all the saints are part of the wedding, how can some of the saints still be hanging around on earth? Or will they just miss out on the wedding?
The marriage supper of the lamb coincides with the second appearance of the Christ to judge the living and the dead. Please see the following article… www.equip.org/articles/apocalypse-when/
@@BibleAnswerMan I did not find the word "marriage" anywhere in the article in the link you supplied. You will find the word "marriage" as well as the phrase "marriage supper of the Lamb" in Revelation chapter 19. Revelation 19:14 _"And the armies WHICH WERE IN HEAVEN followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean."_
The marriage supper of the Lamb is when animals and birds feast on the corpses of the fallen whom Yeshua has slain. And that is in the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
@@awaitingthetrumpetcall4529 half a year and he calls himself bible answer man has no answer! This is one of the contradictions that post-tribbers can't scripturally reconcile. Those who insist on their post-trib stance will miss out on the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Two thousand five hundred years before Darby’s lived, Isaiah wrote of a pre-tribulation resurrection. A resurrection of joy and singing. A resurrection that was followed by an invitation to his people to: “Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.” The dead - and those raised to life - aren’t in need of shelter from the LORD’s wrath; but those who are alive and remain are. Regardless, there is zero doubt that there will be a resurrection of joy and singing that occurs BEFORE his wrath is poured out on the inhabitants of the earth. Don’t let the blind lead you into a ditch.
*5 REASONS WHY YOU WILL GO TO HELL BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO:* 1) *Because of your UNBELIEF.* The same sort of UNBELIEF IN GOD"S DELIVERING POWER that saw Israel not allowed into the Promised Land. That you your fate, as Hebrews 3-4 show, as it clearly shows you will be LEFT {OUT} OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN FOR THAT SAME {UNBELIEF} IN GOD'S DELIVERING POWER, which is His Rapture. You will share the same fate as Israel. But yours is worst. You will not be left out of a physical land, but spiriutal paradise. .... and don't lie to yourself about being "Christian" or "believing in Jesus" or "covered under His blood." ISRAEL was the "seed of promised" and "believed in Yahweh" more than you, and were "covered under the blood of the Passover Lamb and the sacrifices." Didn't save them. Wont save you, Gentile! 2) *Because Amos alrady condemns you," speaking a 'woe' against all who desire to see the Day of the Lord. No one escape a woe. No one. 3) *Because you SIN AGINST GOD!* You would have been better off being a murder, or rapist, or homosexual. Those things are just 'sin,' but all who SIN {{AGAINST}} GOD will be blot out of His Book, as God clearly told Moses. That is the product of your UNBELIEF. You are offensive. You sin directly against God's very Character. -calling Him weak -calling Him unfaithful -calling Him unjust -accusing Him of being an abusive husband -saying He will send DEMONS (locusts) upon His entire Church for 5 months! -spitting on the testimony of Abraham -spitting on the testimony of Job -mocking His deliverance of Lot who was "snatched away" -mocking the deliverance of Noah who was "lifted up" JUST. LIKE. ISREAL! Your unbelief is taking personally by Him, because it is OFFENSIVE to His Character and is SIN against Him! 4) Because you evil hypocrites distort every Scripture you touch, especially Matthew 24 and I Thess 4 ... not even knowing that Matthew 24 is a TWO FOLD QUESTION with TWO answers -Matthew 24v5-14: end time signs that the terminal generation Church looks for that lead up to the *RAPTURE* -Matthew 24v15-31: all things Jewish, and Jesus clearly has shifted His attention from the Church to the Jews who will be left behind! events that lead up to the *SECOND COMING!* Yeah ... you are that easily disproven. You distort many Scriptures, and as Peter say, to your own damnation! 5) Becuase, assuming you are a Post-Tribber, the EVIL SERVANT at the end of Matthew 24 has all 4 characteristics of a Post Tribber ... and it ends with you in Hellfire. Jesus even rightfully uses the word "hypocrite" instead of "sinner" ... cause you ARE fake Christians. Sinners against God's very character. Distorters of His Word. UNBELIEVERS> And what is the polar opposite of FAITH? *UNBELIEF!* 5 reasons why you are doomed. Now, you wanna go 5 more reasons!?
@@DonCornelius366 you are WAY out of line. Denying Christ is the way to hell. Not believing or disagreeing with a non- fundamental truth. Your salvation can’t be stolen by watching a video. What are you trying to do here?!
One day, messiah will arrive in Jerusalem. He will sit in the throne of David at the newly constructed temple. He will establish world peace, beginning with a covenant between the Middle Eastern nations. The chosen people of God will bow before him and Christians will follow suit. While the world basks in the glory of Christ, a light will shine in the East. The true Christ Jesus will return and the nations will mourn. They will cry for the rocks to fall on them, but death will flee from them. Why? Because when Jesus returns we will be all be changed “in the twinkling of an eye” into our spiritual bodies. The only death then will be at the white throne judgement for those not found written in The Lamb’s Book of Life. If you don’t think Satan can’t deceive you into thinking he is Jesus Christ and ruin your salvation, remember, he deceived a third of God’s own angels who stood before his very throne. The Antichrist arrives in Jerusalem first. At the 6th seal, 6th trump and 6th vial. That’s why the scripture says to “enumerate” the number of the man to know who he will be. “666” Jesus Christ returns at the last/7th trump, AFTER Antichrist and his tribulation on mankind. 2nd Thessalonians 2:3-4 KJV 1st Corinthians 15:52 KJV Let he who have eyes see, and he who have ears hear. If you can receive this, and you can see the truth, you are not blinded by the “strong delusion”, you are one of God’s elect. Receive God’s Truth DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY SATAN
We were pretrib until we heard out loud why pretrib teachers determined that view. So many red flags begin to wave and fly off the pole. This caused us to dig in deep and research. Upon our result thus far we are neither pre nor mid according to our searching of the scriptures and historical research. We didn't quite fit fully in with the post-trib theory but recently found out a little more about the pre-wrath. For right now, pre-wrath is where we pretty much identify with what lines up to our research.
Pre wrath is most definitely the biblical view. I’m baffled how this video seemed to be completely debunking by pre trib by saying there is no tribulation at all. There will without a doubt be a final tribulation and the church is here for it. How he can think 70AD can fit anything in revelation is baffling. Jesus said everything in the psalms, prophets and law of Moses MUST be fulfilled. If that’s the case there HAS to be a 3rd temple and there has to be a milleniel reign. And how can he claim nobody repents on his arrival when Joel 2 says that many do and he relents. So many people don’t read the Old Testament.
@@kingsolomon3175 There simply is no such thing as pre-wrath in the Bible, only 'the wrath of God'. And this wrath of God came upon His Lamb on the cross. IT IS FINISHED! Also there is NO rapture, although the word appears in the Bible. Matt 5:5 The book of Revelation was fulfilled at the cross of Jesus. 70 AD. Also it was written for the people of Israel only, not for us living after the cross. Yes, Jesus did say everything written in the Psalms, prophets & law was appointed on Him, but that was brought into fulfilling at the cross. 'For the Christ is the END of the law. And because of Him, God HAS transferred His perfect righteousness to all who BELIEVE'. Rom 10:4 No, there simply is NO 3rd temple to be built any place on earth, as wé are His holy temple, His sanctuary, His dwelling place! Christ is living in and thru us. Col 1:26-27.. and from out thís holy temple He will soon manifest His final appearances as 1Thes 4:13-18 have it! (we symbolic are the clouds). Repent on His arrival ?? Definitely no, as this is what we are looking to, His final appearances! What is there to repent of if Jesus already has dealt with the sin of the world with the promise never to think of that ever again?? John 1:29 + 3:16,17 Hebr 8:12 + 10:17 No my brother in Christ, we are the righteousness* of God in Christ. (as if we've never sinned). This is the gift of the Father. How precious. 'As He is, so are we in this world'. 1John 4:17 We have been declared holy by His word, and we receive this gracefully and try to live a life that's to the glory of His holy name. Save by Hís grace, His love and His faith.
@@eekay5710 Wait how did the Book of Revelations get fulfilled at the cross when it hadn't been written yet i think you may be confusing Revelations with Daniel.
@@MrWrestlingfan1986 Both Rev and the book of Daniel has been fulfilled at the cross of Jesus. Abraham saw the cross long before Jesus was cruicified.. visions! 'Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day, and he saw it and was glad'. John 8:56 Most Christians believe that the books of Daniel, Rev and Matt 24 is for the future, while it was speaking of the people of Israel. Acts 2:16-21 Peter preached to thém and warned thém with the following words.. 'And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation". Acts 2:40 The cross are the end. We as believers in Jesus Christ has come to the beginning' where their is no end'. The biggest revelation was given to Paul.. Christ within us! Col 1:26-27
Amen!..Excellent movie. It explains everything about the soon to be rapture. We are looking for our Lord Jesus Christ to rapture the saved believers so He can deal with the jews and show the King of Kings has already come, died on the cross and arose from the dead!.. rapture ready!
that is not how to study the word. By looking back and only taking that as the fullness of the truth I am not saying you do that. i am saying. then we have missed it that turns it into doctrines of man or traditions of man. The Bible explains the bible . if we go back and see Galilean culture, it might explain the text . but if it does not line up with the God-breathed word of God or contradicts the word the word stands true , it has to line up with the word I think you would agree
@@christym2121the producers of the movie used the scriptures, culture and customs to explain beautifully. God is not going to force anyone to adhere to the doctrine of imminence, very often through scripture we are told time and time again "watch and wait," "watch and wait" it's very important. But if God planned for you to go through the tribulation why would he tell you to "watch and wait"? There would be nothing to watch and wait for, nothing you could do anyway, you would just arrive at the culmination point, where all things had run their course. There would be absolutely no need to "watch and wait." He would have said just hang on. He provides a way of escape. Watch and wait, he appears the second time only to those who are watching and waiting. Hebrews 9:28. He also says "pray you are worthy to escape." You can't be worthy of something you don't believe in. Proverbs 22:3 says the prudent man foresees evil and hides himself but the simple pass on and are punished.
@CeJay - It is really the reverse. The theology of the Left Behind series made it into the church and certain church folks decided to writes stories and make movies based on the Left Behind theology they were taught. See www.equip.org/article/left-behind-from-root-to-ripened-fruit/ and www.equip.org/articles/when-truth-gets-left-behind/
As most movies are but the doctrine of the rapture as you can imagine was not based on a movie but on biblical truth which distinguishes between the church and Israel. The anti-Semitic doctrine of replacement theology which says the church replaced Israel is straight from the pit of hell. Read Romans 9 to 11
@@robbiemcnichol4007 Incorrect. "Replacement theology" is the truth about the church of Christ and has always been preached for the past 2000 years. The racist doctrine that certain people are better than others because of their ancestral sperm donors is of Hell. Also known as Loxism,it crept into the church in the late 19th century.
@@Alvinthechristian t the twelve patriarchs of Israel and the twelve apostles, who represent the redeemed of both covenants now united in Christ. In Rev. 5:8-9 they do seem to speak on behalf of the redeemed. Also in support for the idea that the 24 elders depict the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 apostles can be seen by the fact that the names of both groups are displayed on the gates and foundations of the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:12, 14).
No one wants to hear it because all we have is Evangelical "Preachers" bombarding the airwaves and spreading the false teachings of Dispensationalism... In short, they've been brainwashed into believing that that teaching IS THE BIBLE And therefore if you don't agree, you are a sinner and a Non-believer.
when I came to understand this truth, it changed how I look at scripture, the problem now is finding like minded believers in a church setting. I don't feel we should have to hide this truth to be a part of a local body. any churches that hold to this belief?
All churches other than american non-denoms, some baptists and some pentecostals reject pre-trib nonsense. That leaves everything from Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Lutheranism, Anglicanism, Methodism, Episcopalianism wide open...the list goes on. If you are Protestant, basically any church that was founded before the 1800's. Pre-trib beliefs are a minority in Christianity.
Some Brethren Churches, various Reformed Theology Churches. If you're in Colorado, I can make specific recommendations. None of these, while post trib, make this a central doctrine or essential matter, which I believe is correct as well.
I am SO glad someone finally clarified this. I get tired of Christian Stock Footage montage channels trying to justify a pre-tribulation rapture. Thank you very much for this video. God Bless you, my friend.
Same, tired reasons always given. After a while it’s just mind numbing. But you know what? Either way, we’re going to be finding out in the very near future. The road immediately ahead is growing quickly chaotic.
1.) Context 2.) Accurate Greek Translation 3.) Who the author is speaking/writing to. Look up the greek words Harpazo and Apantesis. These are the words that modern rapture-defenders use to translate as "Magical Vaporization of Believers" theory.
actually those verses speak of a post "abomination" rapture/meeting with Jesus, contrary to a pre trib idea. But the host of this video just talks and talks and NEVER makes his point clearly, ignoring scripture since it is contrary to his ideas. both the pre-trib idea is wrong as well as Hanegraaf's explanation
All you need to do is look at at all of matt 24 after the the tribulation of those days god sends out his angles to gather the elect notice after the tribulation not before
Isaiah 26:21 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. 21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
@B L Learn the meaning of the word (just) according to the holy scriptures: Hosea 14:9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
i haven't believed in a pre or mid trib rapture for quite a while after being turned off by church after church who elevated the idea that we will avoid tribulation to the same level of reverence as the salvation gospel itself. they often talked more about the 'rapture' than they did about the gospel. and we were not allowed to even QUESTION the pre-mid rapture when it clearly made no sense to us
@@franciegwin The tribulation is not just persecution, it's the *wrath of God* being poured out on the earth! Revelation 6:16-17; 14:19; 15:1, 7; 16:1; 19:15. See 1 Thessalonians 1:10; & 5:9. The children of God are delivered *from* His wrath. Yes, we are to suffer persecution for the name of Christ. But we are *not* appointed to suffer the wrath of God against the wicked!
Who says it’s easy way out? We already suffer enough on this earth, glad we only live once because I can not do it all over again. The problem if we’re still on earth during the wrath of God on what is written in Revelation then we are susceptible to the mark of the beast. What for Christ died for us? He revealed His mystery in Eph 1:11-14 The Holy Spirit sealed us guaranteeing our inheritance until the day of redemption. Rev 14:9 says those who accept the sign of the beast will not enter the kingdom of God. Doesn’t make sense right? those who refuse still be save through doctrine of Grace. No one knows when He comes again but one thing is sure, it’s soon!
@@judylloyd7901 In neither I Thessalonians 1:10 nor 5:9 is there any mention of "the tribulation." The "wrath" that Paul is taking about is in contrast to salvation. He is specifically talking about the Day of the Lord (5:2) which comes as a thief in the night. This is Jesus' Second Coming, NOT an event seven years prior to that. According to Joel and Isaiah, the Day of the Lord happens AFTER the darkening of the sun, moon and stars. And according to Jesus, the darkening of the sun, moon and stars happens AFTER "the tribulation of those days." In other words, the order of events is this: 1) the tribulation of those days, THEN 2) the darkening of the sun, moon and stars, THEN 3) the Day of the Lord, which comes suddenly, without warning, and ends in the destruction of the wicked. (Prior to this time, unbelievers, who live in darkness, will be eating and drinking, and marrying and being given in marriage, just as in the days of Noah, unaware of the events which will soon come. Believers however are not in darkness that that day should overtake them. Jesus tells us in Luke's gospel, "WHEN you see these things, look up for your redemption draws near. ("These things" are signs in the sun, moon and stars, distress of nations, men's hearts failing for fear, the shaking of the powers of heavens). There is no such thing as an "imminent" rapture that can happen at any time. What the Bible teaches is ONE coming that will take unbelievers by surprise. They will not be looking for the signs and will be caught by surprise. When we are told to "watch," it is not talking about watching for a rapture. It means that we are to be on guard, to be diligent, lest we fall into temptation and deception. Dispensationalist love to twist the meaning of Scripture to suit their own agenda. (e.g. by conflating the terms "wrath" and "tribulation," changing the meaning of words such as "apostasy" and "watch." Not only that but Paul tells us that "now is the time for judgment for the people of God, and even now"the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven." God's wrath and His judgements have been poured out from the beginning. God's judgments are for the purpose of repentance, but there will come a time when men no longer repent, and it is then that God will pour out His unmitigated wrath on the wicked. So, no we are not appointed to wrath, but we are appointed to tribulation, even GREAT tribulation. The great tribulation is not "great" because of its intensity, but because of its extent. Persecution and martyrdom in the past has been intermittent and sporadic. In the future it will be continuous and worldwide. Even now we can see the rage building up, and soon it will be directed to God's people. But as Jesus says, though we be killed, not a hair on our heads will perish.
@@judylloyd7901 The wrath of God came on His Lamb some 2,000 yrs ago. IT IS FINISHED! Revelation was written for the people of Israel, not for us living after the cross. The message of reconciliation was given to us, not a message which confuse believers or put fear for the unknown in their hearts. We who believe in the Son of God, we know without any doubt that the Father loves all of us and that no harm will ever be done unto us. The best advice is to come away from the book of Revelation and Teachers on this book, as 100 teachers will all have their own understanding. Read the love letters that the Spirit of God has written to us.. John, Ephesians, Colossians etc etc and pay good attention to yr quite time with the Lord Jesus. He is inside of us, do not look outside. For when we look away from Him, we will experience what Peter experienced when he took his eyes off Jesus. Matt 14:22-31

Hath everlasting life 3. Shall not come into condemnation 4. Is passed from death unto life you’re not saved by what you do, you’re saved by what Christ has done for us, his sacrifice on the cross for the remission of sins so your sins are forgiven and his righteousness is imputed unto you “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” Philippians 3:9 KJV “Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” Romans 3:22-26 KJV do you truly believe in his words? Do you truly believe that he died for your sins to be forgiven? Do you truly believe you have passed from death unto life or will You believe what the world wants you to?

Why I believe the rapture and return are two seperate events. I've really studied this, comparing the pre and post tribulation position with just the word alone. Could I humbly suggest, Compare Jesus Glorious return at the end of the apocalyptic seals, bowls, Trumpets, third of all life destroyed, wormwood, plagues, boils etc etc with Jesus saying "just as in the times of Noah and Lot" . Normal everyday life! Does that sound like the end of Armageddon? Clearly He is speaking of two events. There's no way these two, the rapture, as a" thief in the night" and His glorious return are the same. People definitely won't be giving and taking in marriage and trading as normal on the day of His return. Boot fares and stag parties will be the LAST thing on thier minds. They'll be struggling to survive. Jesus said, "that time will be cut short for the elects sake or else no one would survive it." (The elect are the 144,000 Jews and thier converts saved through the tribulation which is called "Jacobs trouble") The church is raptured as described in Thessalonians and Corinthians then the Antichrist is revealed who will sign THE agreement (not Trump's!) then 3 1/2 years in he will desecrate the new built temple which will bring in terrible trouble leading to Armageddon at the end of which is the Lords glorious return and sweeping away all evel forever. I hope this helps. I was doubtful too but decided to really study the scriptures. God bless.
The parousia of the Lord includes His "presence" and His physical return. In other words the scope of the word parousia (often rendered "coming") is wider than just His physical return to the earth.
I've been studying as well ibwas in agreement with this until I heard the 17 hour bible study from Andy Woods. Very good arguement just check it out :) also feel free to get back to me and let me know
@@stringerchick3650 I'll check this out indeed. I think it's essential to get it right or we're setting the church up for trouble. Believe me I want a pre rapture but I also am mindful of many who believe in mid or post rapture. Having done many hours study on this and considered the timing and the Greek words used in Thessalonians etc I am fairly sure of a pre rapture. As I read post trib arguments I find myself thinking, "yes but what about....?" Then I recheck what I've studied lol. I'm going through a lengthy post trib position that I've downloaded atm. So far what I've found is, the reasoning is plausible but when cross checking I find certain scriptures are ignored. You can't do that with the word of God. It has to be 'rightly divided'. Any way. I'll check it out. 17 hours?! Phew.
@@stringerchick3650 I've checked out Andy Woods and indeed he explains the biblically based reasons for pre trib very well indeed. I have now completed an examination of the post trib position as taught by Jeffrey A. Mott. A quick perusal of this work appears to present a very powerful argument for a post tribulation rapture. I'm sure you can access this for yourself on the net. However on deeper investigation I found that it is on very weak ground. I could list everything here but take to long. However I will deal with just a couple. Mott uses the 'type' of Egypt to show that 'believers' will have to go through the full tribulation as the children of Israel did before Moses (The Lord) finally led them out in a kind of 'rapture' before the Egyptians were judged in the Red sea. This, at first seems powerful but (comparing scripture with scripture and) by rightly dividing the word of God this is revealed as completely wrong. Jesus Himself gave us two 'types' as examples: The days of Noah and The days of Sodom and Gomorrah where the believers were clearly absolutely removed before judgement, before tribulatuon. So I'm wondering why Mott used a type that Jesus did not? I also noticed that Mott ignores scriptures that indicate the tribulatuon is something specifically designated to the Jews. Jeremiah 30 clearly states this is the time of JACOBS trouble. As I said, there is much more. Indeed, every single point he proposes fails to rightly divide the word of God on the matter. So, my conclusion from my own studies and diligently studying the post trib position I am thoroughly convinced the rapture will no be at any time, and definitely BEFORE the tribulation.
@@uview1 1 Thess. 4 tells us, the "caught up together", or Rapture, will happen nearly at the same time as the Resurrection. Jesus said in John 6 (4 times), that the Resurrection of the dead will happen on the Last Day, Therefore, the Rapture and the Resurrection are both on the Last Day.
*5 REASONS WHY HE WILL GO TO HELL BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO:* 1) *Because of your UNBELIEF.* The same sort of UNBELIEF IN GOD"S DELIVERING POWER that saw Israel not allowed into the Promised Land. That you your fate, as Hebrews 3-4 show, as it clearly shows you will be LEFT {OUT} OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN FOR THAT SAME {UNBELIEF} IN GOD'S DELIVERING POWER, which is His Rapture. You will share the same fate as Israel. But yours is worst. You will not be left out of a physical land, but spiriutal paradise. .... and don't lie to yourself about being "Christian" or "believing in Jesus" or "covered under His blood." ISRAEL was the "seed of promised" and "believed in Yahweh" more than you, and were "covered under the blood of the Passover Lamb and the sacrifices." Didn't save them. Wont save you, Gentile! 2) *Because Amos alrady condemns you," speaking a 'woe' against all who desire to see the Day of the Lord. No one escape a woe. No one. 3) *Because you SIN AGINST GOD!* You would have been better off being a murder, or rapist, or homosexual. Those things are just 'sin,' but all who SIN {{AGAINST}} GOD will be blot out of His Book, as God clearly told Moses. That is the product of your UNBELIEF. You are offensive. You sin directly against God's very Character. -calling Him weak -calling Him unfaithful -calling Him unjust -accusing Him of being an abusive husband -saying He will send DEMONS (locusts) upon His entire Church for 5 months! -spitting on the testimony of Abraham -spitting on the testimony of Job -mocking His deliverance of Lot who was "snatched away" -mocking the deliverance of Noah who was "lifted up" JUST. LIKE. ISREAL! Your unbelief is taking personally by Him, because it is OFFENSIVE to His Character and is SIN against Him! 4) Because you evil hypocrites distort every Scripture you touch, especially Matthew 24 and I Thess 4 ... not even knowing that Matthew 24 is a TWO FOLD QUESTION with TWO answers -Matthew 24v5-14: end time signs that the terminal generation Church looks for that lead up to the *RAPTURE* -Matthew 24v15-31: all things Jewish, and Jesus clearly has shifted His attention from the Church to the Jews who will be left behind! events that lead up to the *SECOND COMING!* Yeah ... you are that easily disproven. You distort many Scriptures, and as Peter say, to your own damnation! 5) Becuase, assuming you are a Post-Tribber, the EVIL SERVANT at the end of Matthew 24 has all 4 characteristics of a Post Tribber ... and it ends with you in Hellfire. Jesus even rightfully uses the word "hypocrite" instead of "sinner" ... cause you ARE fake Christians. Sinners against God's very character. Distorters of His Word. UNBELIEVERS> And what is the polar opposite of FAITH? *UNBELIEF!* 5 reasons why you are doomed. Now, you wanna go 5 more reasons!?
What matters the most for born-again Christians, is that we need to be spreading the word of Christ Jesus which are the gospels. When we focus on the “rapture “, we are not focusing on building Christ Jesus’ Church, we focus on puffing our sinful flesh, and divide Christ’s Church instead. This is not meant to be for Gods Heavenly Children. Remember John 14:18 [18] “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Revelation 22:20-21 [20] He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! [21] The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
The left behind series(movie) has it backwards. Those left behind are the righteous. Those taken(raptured) are taken for judgement.Matthew 24:36-44 and Luke17:26-37. Darby was a priest that was disgruntled. He wrongly coined what rapture meant....judgement.
Hi Hank, I have been listening lately to your ministry on certain subjects and I have to say I have/am being blessed, I was once a Universal Reconciliationist and Hyper-Dispensationalist until I had my eyes open, appreciate you greatly brother, thank you.
Totally agree. Christ showed me when I was 16 years old the end times and tribulation. I saw pastors cursing God's name, being attacked/blamed by their congregation for preaching pre-trib rapture. Bro Sadhu Sundar also said he used to preach pre-trib rapture but Jesus lead him to verses and corrected him. Also check out FAI's 4 reasons we don't believe in pre-trib rapture. I do not believe in pre-tribulation rapture and it's never mentioned in the Bible. We’re told that we will be persecuted and we must stand firm unto death in out believe in Christ and to overcome the devil so that we can receive the crown of life. We’re told not to accept the mark of the beast or worship him so why would we have to refuse if we’re raptured before that happens? The Bible also says that Christ won't return until the "Falling Away" happens first and Jesus asks, "will I really find faith on the earth in those days?" So if the falling away happens and there's no faith, who will be left to suddenly be raptured? Christ also said the dead in Christ would be raised first and then the living in Christ would be raised. If you read the Bible and note down the chain of events, you'll see that the rapture of the dead and then the living doesn't happen until well into the Tribulation and after true Christians suffer through persecution, deny satan's mark of the beast and be put in jail from refusing satan. What Christians will keep their faith if they lose everything and are put in jail? When tribulation truly comes and God's wrath begins to pour out, there will be major nation wide disasters such as CA earthquake and World War III will break out. This will cause the current Christians that didn't get raptured before tribulation to blame God and attack their pastors for lying to them about being raptured before suffering and they’ll all curse God’s name. This is the great falling away. If you read Revelation and get a notepad to note down the chain of events, you'll see when the rapture actually happens. Show me one verse using the Bible where it states that believers in Christ will be raptured before Tribulation. Even God's people had to trust God and be delivered out of pharaoh's hands while God destroyed him. Even the two witnesses will be killed in the street before we're raptured and they'll be resurrected to life after three and a half days causing great fear upon those that see it. Here's proof that there's no rapture until after the Falling Away and the Antichrist claims to be God and causes all to receive his mark: 2 Thessalonians 2 2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Proof that there won't be any faith in the earth by then: "I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?" - Luke 18:8 Proof that we will go through Tribulation and be persecuted for believing in Christ: Matthew 10:17 "But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues;" Matthew 24:9 “Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. Luke 21:12 “But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake." John 15:20 "Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also." John 16:2 "They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God." 2 Timothy 3:12 "Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." Revelation 2:10 "Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life." Revelation 3:5 5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore, comfort one another with these words.
Your "proof texts" totally scramble passages as you apply them incorrectly. You use Mat 10:17... in Mat 10 Jesus instructs His disciples to NOT GO into the way of the Gentiles but to go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And of course, in the passage people have to "endure to the end to be saved." But you would have people believe the church is being discussed. No, as Jesus said, it's the lost sheep of the house of ISRAEL Who will be witnesses to ISRAEL during the great tribulation? The 144,000 JEWS from the 12 tribes of Israel witnessing to other Jews. The tribulation witnesses are comprised of 144,000 male Jewish virgins, NOT the church. You mention Rev 2:10 where the Christians have to deal with tribulation for TEN DAYS. That isn't the great tribulation. You mention other Rev verses - but they are all PRIOR to the beginning of the great tribulation - they have nothing to do with it. In John 4 John is caught up to the third heaven - picturing the rapture of the church - and during the great tribulation in Revelation the church isn't even mentioned. The church is mentioned again in Rev 19 AFTER the great tribulation is over. You mention John 16:2. Christians don't go to synagogues, JEWS go to synagogues. Christians attend local CHURCHES. You use Mat 24 - and here we see again the requirement to endure to the end to be saved - it's not about the church. And in many cases, you cite verses that mention persecution - as if the term was synonymous with the time of great tribulation, which is the time of Jacob's trouble. Persecution =/= great tribulation. Christians have been persecuted since day one and they will continue to be persecuted. This ongoing persecution of individual Christians throughout the centuries has absolutely nothing to do with God pouring out wrath on Israel during the time of Jacob's trouble.

This the reason, why I don't attend any church anymore: they all claim to abide by the Bible, but interpret it in various ways. So I stay home and study the Bible myself after praying for wisdom and discernment and I shall continue to do so, because it helps me stay close to Yeshua and keeps me from getting confused.
@@DonCornelius366 You are a spiteful Christian . This is a secondary issue and your condemnation is uncalled for ! ! You are also wrong ... I might add ! !

For a believer who has not done his own search of the truth from the Word of God, it is easy to believe in everything this man argues against pre- tribulation rapture.
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Matthew 24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Unbiblical? That’s the Bible isn’t? It will be done as your faith said Jesus. You will find it less funny when the rapture will happen and you will be left behind….
@alexandre9328 Read carefully the verses you shared. None of them explicitly tell us about a pretribulation rapture, i.e., the idea that God is going to remove the Church from the Earth before the start of a future seven-year Great Tribulation that ends with Jesus' Second Coming and the start of the Millennium.
@@BibleAnswerMan "1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night." The trumpets of 1 Thessaloniciens 4.16-17 and 1 Corinthians 15.51-52 will be heard only by true Christian believer. They’ll meet the Lord in the air because in their glorified body, they will fly. This appearance won’t be public, the whole humanity won’t be there in the air to see it. The public appearance is at the end of the tribulation at the Armageddon war in Israel.
Wow, this is new to me 😮. Definitely something I need look into! One thing that I’m confused about is that he kept mentioning that the belief in the rapture is that “Jews” will be left behind, but that is not correct. The belief is that ANYONE who hasn’t accepted Christ as Savior would be left behind...atheist, agnostic, new age believers, etc. Looks like it’s time for me to rethink it all and do some more research!
Yep, do some digging. I am not pretrib, but they do ask some interesting questions have gotten me to think about things, so I will give them that credit.
Hi Karin, Revelation is written to church not modern Israel, and is this last time we are until Christ returns again in One phase, Visible to all on earth Second Coming. There will be no second chance for Jews or Gentiles who don't receive Him in this urgent time. Much need for sincere evangelism by Word and Spirit.

Or do you want 5 reasons why there IS a Pre-Tribulation Rapture (I won't even include Matthew 24, cause I just explained it by refuting the ignorance about it)?
Part 1 - I will have to post this in two posts due to length. I apologize for that, but if we want to seek truth, we must be thorough in reconciling all of God's Word. “In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is the one thing you cannot get by looking for it. If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth-only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and, in the end, despair.” C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity Truth = facts. The rapture is right where Paul, as a prophet, said it would be. He painted a neon sign and said, “Here it is,” and yet we still miss it. It is at the last trumpet, the seventh trumpet, right where he said it would be. For truth, let’s look at the facts. 1) The seven year period of time is never referred to in Scripture as “the tribulation.” Never. That is an appellation that has been applied by pre-tribbers to equate tribulation with God’s wrath. The Bible refers to it in the Book of Daniel as the 70th week out of 70 weeks. (A week being a seven year period). The only use of the word tribulation to this time is when Christ referred to a period of time during the second half of the 70th week, beginning with the abomination of desolation as the great tribulation. And He also says that this time of great tribulation will be cut short. How is the great tribulation cut short? The wholesale killing of those who will not take the mark will stop before the 1260 days are over, so that some of the elect will remain alive. The reign of the antichrist will continue, however. It will be shown what causes this stopping of killing. As will be seen, this allows for the trumpets to occur during the rest of that time. 2) Tribulation and wrath are not synonymous. Tribulation is the word “thlipsis” and means persecution. We ARE appointed to tribulation. John 16:33, Acts 14:22. The House of God (Christians) must undergo a fiery trial before the appearance of Christ. 1 Peter 4:12-13,17 “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the FIERY TRIAL (“peirasmon” a putting to the proof) which is to TRY YOU (put you to the proof) as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, WHEN HIS GLORY SHALL BE REVEALED, (at the Second Coming) ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. For the time is come that JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD: and if it FIRST BEGIN AT US, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” God punished and tried Israel for their apostasy. He will also do so to the apostate church. (2Thess. 2:3 there will be a falling away [“apostasia”] from God’s truth) and Dan. 11:35 (purging). God will not persecute His enemies, He will simply destroy them, but His enemies have and always will persecute God’s children. Wrath on the other hand are the words “orge” or “thumos” and mean violent passion or an outburst of passionate wrath. We are not appointed to God’s wrath, but we are to expect Satan’s persecution. God tells us that the saints (in the New Testament, Christians are the saints) will be given over to the beast. Dan. 7:25, Rev. 13:7. Non Christians are not dying during the great trib. They have taken the mark and are fine. This is not God's wrath. The 5th seal is not God’s wrath, for the only ones dying are Christians and the martyrs ask God when He will begin to pour out His vengeance or wrath. He replies that they must wait first for the rest of the Christians who must be martyred as they were. The people on the sea of glass that come out of the great tribulation are those martyrs. Rev. 7:14. It is the worst holocaust in the history of the world. Dan. 12:1. They are the overcomers, those who obey God’s commandments and have the testimony of Jesus, who did not love their lives unto death, that Satan goes after. Rev. 12:11,17. Six out of the seven churches in Revelation are not promised protection. They are told to be overcomers. Only a remnant of the church of Philadephians who have kept the word of God's patience qualify to be protected and eventually raptured. They are kept from the "temptation" which means to be “put to the proof”. God is putting us to the proof by giving us a time of testing for the sake of purging the apostate church. Dan. 11:35. 3) The Day of the Lord is another name for God’s wrath. Joel and Acts tell us that there is a very specific sign that will occur BEFORE the Day of the Lord, or God’s wrath can begin, to warn us it is coming. “And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE that great and notable day of the Lord come.” These very unique signs (both the sun and moon go dark - moon turns red) occur at the same time. This describes a double eclipse which can only occur due to an outside celestial body that has come between the sun and the moon and earth, creating eclipses of both the sun and the moon simultaneously. This sign is said to occur BEFORE the Day of the Lord. It is an omen of the coming wrath of God. How far in advance it comes is not stated in Scripture. 4) This particular sign of the double eclipse is seen in Seal 6 of Revelation. In fact at that time, people recognize and shout for fear that the Day of the Lord is coming, because these signs herald its approach. This is not a statement from heaven that the Day of the Lord has begun, because Christ’s coming initiates the Day of the Lord, and He does not return until the end of the 70th week. It is a warning, though, that God’s wrath is definitely on its way. So God’s wrath does not include the seals. 5) In Matthew 24:29, Christ puts these same celestial signs after the great tribulation is cut short, putting God’s wrath after the great tribulation is over. Hence God’s wrath does not begin until after the great tribulation. 6) We are not appointed to wrath. 1 Thess. 5:9. As God’s wrath cannot begin until after these celestial signs, there is no reason to remove Christians before God’s wrath begins, for we are not exempt from persecution and martyrdom. Therefore we will be here through the great tribulation. Well, those who are alive and remain will be. The rest will be killed. 7) Paul gave the exact sequence of events in 2 Thess. 2:1-4. “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, (2nd Coming) AND (meaning they are together and in order) by OUR GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO HIM, (resurrection/rapture). [note the chronological order] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ (also known as the Day of the Lord, but from a Christian’s point of view instead of the wicked’s point of view) is at hand. [This couples all three events together as happening at the same time. Christ’s Second Coming, the rapture followed by the Day of the Lord]. LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU (pre-tribbers have allowed themselves to be deceived even with this warning and the laying out of the chronology) by any means: for that day (What day? The Day of the Lord wherein Christ returns and resurrects/raptures the saints) shall not come, EXCEPT there come a falling away (apostasia - Gr. Meaning departure from the truth, not departure from a location) FIRST, (before any of the other stuff can happen) and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, (this is the abomination of desolation) shewing himself that he is God.” These verses were telling them that the Day of the Lord wherein Christ returns and raptures them could not be yet, for before that happens, there must be an apostasy in the Church and the antichrist declare himself to be God. This is clear and straightforward. Why do people distort it? 8) Christ must remain in heaven at the right hand of God until His foes are made His footstool. Acts 2:34-35. As long as Satan and the beast reign, His foes are not His footstool. They have 42 months from the abomination. Rev. 13:5. 9) Christ must remain in heaven until the restitution of all things (including the kingdoms of God being given to Christ). Acts. 3:21. As long as Satan is the prince and power of this world, there is no restitution. Satan has until the end of Daniel's 70th week. Christ cannot return until then. 10) Christ destroys the antichrist with the brightness of His coming. Thess. 2:8. That is His Second Coming at the end of the forty-two months. If Christ’s appearance destroys the reign of the antichrist, and the kingdoms of the world are restored to Christ’s control, it can only happen after the antichrist’s reign of 42 months, not before. Christ cannot return until the end of Daniel's 70th week. He cannot return before then, for His coming destroys the beast.
The wrath Paul talks about is not the Bowls. He may not have even known about those. No. He is talking in context about the wrath poured out on the wicked, who experience the Day of the Lord as a thief (see the context of 1 Thess. 5:1-3). They receive sudden destruction at the coming of Christ. See also 2 Thess. 1:6-8, which says the church receives rest from persecutions when Jesus comes and pours out wrath on the wicked.
There is a tribulation orchestrated by Satan thru the antichrist and then the wrath of God to avenge those who were killed or persecuted during the tribulation and other periods in life
Rev 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. Rev 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. Those are the pre-trib rapture verses, which if you look at it in its context the only one who goes up is John and he does that in the Spirit, his body is still on the Isle of Patmos. The Book of Rev comes with two very stern warnings. Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. By saying that Rev 4:1-2 is the rapture of the church when it does not say any such thing, places those who make that claim under the penalty of Rev 22:18-19 The jw's do the same thing with the Book of Revelation, they claim their top people are the 144,000 and by doing so also place themselves under those two penalties. And there are those who will stubbornly defend Rev 4:1-2 as the rapture, 1Sa 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. Psa 78:8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God. The cultists will defend their cults, the Mormons, the sda's, and the jw's all defending their dogmas, that is the power of a leader in a church when the people have no reason to think anything is amiss and they drink the false gospel kool-aid as if it was the gospel truth. that is why we are to do our own due diligence!!! Act 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 1Co 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 1Co 11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 2Co 13:6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. Php 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 1Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 2Ti 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 2Ti 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 2Pe 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: We have the availability of the Holy Ghost to guide us into ALL TRUTH, and being guided into all truth so that anything we hold that is not of the truth will be exposed by the Truth that the Holy Ghost will guide us into. Truth Act 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. Joh 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. Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
With all due resect, the title of this video is: "5 Reasons the Pre-Tribulational Theory is Unbiblical." But reason number four says: "4. No Biblical reason for second chance of salvation after the second coming." Aren't these two points separate arguments? I am serious. Then Mr Hanegraff does not give too much credence to the 7th week of Daniel.
Hank is alluding to one of the logical implications and difficulties with premillennialism (whether the dispensational or historic varieties). Namely, after the Lord’s Second Coming during the millennium both resurrected saints (those raised at the beginning of the millennium) will live alongside children born in the millennium, presumably non-resurrected people both sinners and saints. Plus many of them will stand with Satan, after the releasing, and wage a revolution against the throne of Jesus Christ. Moreover, premillennialism implies the millennial saints will have a chance for salvation after Jesus returns and after Satan’s rebelling ending the millennium. Hank addresses the 70 weeks of Daniel in this article… www.equip.org/article/daniel-prophesy-seven-year-great-tribulation/
I've watched several of this guys videos and answers. I did that in spite of the opening slogan that plays in his videos, which reads, "Truth Matters, Life Matters More". After listening to him with an open mind, I've come to the conclusion that I should have listened to my gut when that phrase first appeared ("Truth Matters, Life Matters More"). First of all, The Truth is a name for Jesus. Nothing matters more than the Truth. In fact, we are rewarded for holding onto the truth even if it means we lose our life. He may be well-meaning, but after hearing many of his replies, some of which border on being anti-biblical, I've come to the conclusion this man does not have the Holy Spirit guiding him. And on a personal level, as someone who owns a business which produces media that reconciles events in the world with events described in the Bible, I couldn't imagine introducing that work with a slogan that defies the most basic, core message of the entire book. It's good to hear differing opinions, along with reading yourself, praying and letting the Holy Spirit guide you toward the Truth, but in this case, since the Prepared Believers are waiting for him at ANY moment, and God uses the metaphor of a Hebrew wedding with Devout Believers as The Bride of Christ, ask yourself, What kind of husband would let his Bride suffer horribly just before marrying her? Remember, half the virgins missed the wedding feast because they weren't ready with their lampstand oil. The other half attended the marriage supper. It stands to reason that that some Christians who are TOTALLY ready for His return will be raptured out, and lukewarm ones will miss that opportunity, but still be able to enjoy the marriage (heaven). I (personally) don't believe the unprepared virgins (lukewarm Christians) are cast to hell. I simply believe they missed the "first bus" so to speak. Lastly, anyone that speaks of this particular topic with rigid certainty, unsettles me, because many passages discussing this event conflict with each other, which implies there is more than one rapture. I believe Some will make it on the "first bus." And those who aren't expecting Him at any moment will still have a chance to go, but, at a later point, which could be the argument for a Mid-trib rapture and/or the very last wave who were saved DURING the GREAT Tribulation (last 3.5 years) and refused to take the Mark of the Beast. In other words, consider the possibility there are 2-3 raptures, not one. When you look at the full weight of the text in this way, the conflicts between "Pre, Mid & Post-trib" raptures fade away, and instead become harmonious. With that said, I'm rooting to be on the first bus outta here, whenever that is!
Here's the first resurrection: Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. At the harvest: Matt 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into My barn.
Hey! I don’t know you but, I love everything you wrote and would really love to discuss this with you. Personally, I have not yet seen one mid trib or post trib argument that makes sense. To me, any other timeline would deny the imminency of the rapture. If it’s post there’s no point at all. We go up just to come back down and rule for 1,000 years, that’s silly. If it’s mid then we can literally calculate it, WE WILL ALL BE READY there’d be no surprise . Thus making the parable of the virgins useless . Something that’s been on my mind lately , is will Luke warm , sleeping Christians OR the ones who are so desperate to prove their bravado with a midtrib rapture, would they be left behind ? It would honestly seem fair to me because most midtrib I’ve encountered are so sure they’re right and rude about it (not very Christ like or loving ). So I wonder if they would be left behind or just taken and left to look silly as they spring through the clouds . I’d love to hear your thoughts / scriptural evidence for “multiple raptures”
Uhm, Truth is a name for Jesus, but so is LIFE. Remember, WAY, TRUTH, LIFE. You don't have the wisdom or knowledge to judge whether this man has the Holy Spirit guiding him. It's funny that Dispensationalists and Pretribbers believe that Jesus is the Bride of the Church and the Father is the Bride of Israel. What kind of Husband would let his bride suffer horribly just before marrying her? The Father, obviously, according to PreTribbers. And the Bible teaches one rapture/resurrection at the last day. There is only one bus.
@@HeyitsJade i wondered about that too. But if God would grant it to them according to their faith, then they miss the bus. Plus we agree that intimacy with Christ is important. What kind of relationship do they have with Jesus if they reject His words in Luke 21:36, Rev. 3:10, Matthew 16:18 and John 14:3?
No truth in the man if he claims the early Church didn't preach, write and believe in the Doctrine of Eminence aka pre-trib Rapture. Genesis to Revelation HE has two separate plans being the "Time of the Gentiles be fulfilled; Lk. 21:24 then the 70th week of Daniel be consummated; Dan. 9:24-27. Pre-Trib verses: Isa. 19:19-21 Jn. 14:1-3 1st Thess. 4:14-18, 5:9 2nd Thess. 2:1-7 Rev. 2:22, 3:10, 6:11, 12:5, 12:7-12 Dan. 9:27 Jude 14 Zech. 14:15 Mat. 24:36-43, 25:1-13 1st Cor. 15:51-53
I believe in a Mid-Trib pre-Wrath first resurrection and rapture of the Church at the last Trumpet. I disagree with Hank's use of the scripture quoted in the first reason. In John 5:28-29 teach physical resurrection, NOT about the timing of resurrection. Other scriptures clearly teach the separate resurrection for the righteous (1 Cor 15:22;1 Thess 4:14-18) and the unrighteous (Rev20:4-6,11-14). I also disagree with Hank's second reason which casts the tribulation/ desolation completely in a historical context of the Maccabees and AD70's. The 5 reasons quoted were poorly researched as a whole.
Matthew 24:37 - But as the days of Noe (Noah) were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mat 24:38 - For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, Mat 24:39 - And knew not until the flood came, and took (WHO?) them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (the WICKED WERE TAKEN) Mat 24:40 - Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Mat 24:41 - Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Mat 24:42 - Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. The WICKED were TAKEN and Noah was LEFT BEHIND at the end of the flood. Luke 17:26 - And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. The WICKED were TAKEN in the flood and Noah was LEFT BEHIND after the flood was over.
as in the Days of Noah is more for the sudden total destruction happening., that they knew not until it happened. It is a good example to see Noah as a type of Israel a preserved remnant in the Great Tribulation Where they were protected thru the Great tribulation The Church is raptured removed from the entire time of the Tribulation and wrath. We believers see none of the Great Tribulation.
@@artcarlson3581 the antichrists are not Israel, nor Judah 1 John 2:22 - Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (ALL Jews deny Jesus and that makes them antichrist, if they believed in Jesus then they would be CHRISTIANS. IF you do not believe me call any Synagogue and ask them if Jesus is the Messiah.) 1 John 2:23 - Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. If Jews do not accept Jesus as messiah, then who is their messiah? SATAN? 1 Corinthians 16:22 - If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema (CURSED) Maranatha. DO JEWS LOVE JESUS OR ARE THEY CURSED?
One man, Enoch, was translated for he did not see death before the great flood. 8 souls were saved by water during the great flood. So likewise shall be in the generation of the day of the Lord. There will be more souls converted during the great tribulation than those who are delivered before it, as in that blessed hope.
Hank Hanegraaff's Apocalypse Code is one of several volumes that completely obliterated my Scofieldian pretrib theory in 2009 or thereabouts. That book would introduce me to the writings of David Chilton, Gary Demar, Gentry and other nondispensational writers. Thank you Mr. Hanegraaff
I was just reading the church part of rev and the passage they say is the rapture is to Philadelphia which is before Laodicea, so in some sense, these guys have missed their own rapture....Jesus says we won't enter heaven without our new resurrected bodies as far as I can tell, so the living won't precede the dead, so therefore the rapture is a component of the Day of the Lord for those believers who are still alive. Makes sense this way and fits the simple clear reading of the text. The twinkling of an eye verse is about that change in the body, not the rapture per say. Basically, these guys are teaching a pre-resurrection before the Day of the Lord. You don't sneak into Heaven and flesh and blood do not enter Heaven. Jesus was flesh and bone, so different with his new first fruits body I think.
Kevin Evans, the Bible obliterates the erroneous theory of the Church going through the tribulation period. In relation to the coming great tribulation period, both Jesus and Paul said we won't go through it. Do not believe Hank, or any others erroneous end time teacher who doesn't believe the pre-tribulation rapture.
@@alanhales239 You can just say that Alan as if you are the ultimate authority. But where does the Bible say what you are saying? Are we supposed to just believe you cause you said it?
Hank unfortunately you have left a lot of holes in your explanation of debunking the Pre-Trib rapture theory. You need to go into more depth in your video’s instead of peddling your books for profit. It’s sad to see Christian leaders are more worried about selling there books than getting the Word out.
@@harveynailbanger The wheat and the tares has nothing to do with the rapture. No one is separated to Judgement in the rapture. The rapture is a blessed time for born again believers. Nobody burned up here no smoke and no fire I still believe Jesus and the pre trib rapture.
Hank is wrong. I will always trust God over man. We, the church the body of Christ WILL BE “raptured” taken up BEFORE the wrath to come. 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 kjv For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 ¶ For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
The pre--tribulation rapture belief that you do not believe in is not the pre-tribulational rapture that some of us believe in. Hank's objections are much aimed at a strawman. Ie. the "Left Behind" series of pop theology.
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, modern Dispensational Theology falls apart, and the pretrib removal of the Church falls with it.
Jacques Wilmore And which of the Church Fathers held this view, 0. So, Christians for 1800 years missed it, this theological construct, in the Greek, the Latin, the Syriac? Isn’t it more important to be ready for when Christ returns, and to focus on practical Christian ministries unto the least of these, then to dwell on the How he returns.
@@matthewvanmatre5137 What is "this view" to which you refer ? Partial rapture ? If that is the question, isn't it the word of God which should decide what we should believe above creeds or checklist of "Church Fathers"? They had varying degrees and shifting degrees of understanding, for which I don't think they should be blamed for some deficiency at times. So Scripture rules my belief over and above the statistics of Church Fathers' insights (which though are not to be despised). Lastly, OF COURSE our Christian daily living is the best preparation. No debate there. However His coming and our living are inextricably linked together. "Expecting AND HASTENING the coming of the Lord "(2 Pet. 3:12).
Jacques Wilmore And that is my point, in that you think you see something in the text that suggests any type of rapture but somehow the greatest minds of Christendom missed it. I’m just of the thought that their understanding of Greek, Hebrew, and Syriac Scriptures is far superior to yours.
@@matthewvanmatre5137 An expert on writings of church fathers I am not. However, Jesus Himself did not "miss" a catching away of watching, vigilant, disciples at His parousia. Ie . "Remember Lot's wife. Whoever seeks to preserve his soul-life will loss it, and whoever losses it will preserve it alive. I tell you, in that night there will be two on one bed; the one will be taken and the other will be left. There will be two women grinding together; one will be taken but the other will be left. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left." (See Luke 17:32-38) Apparently, Jesus as recorded by Luke did not "miss" the teaching. See also Matthew 24:37-44. He expects wise disciples will live and walk moment by moment as if His sudden arrival unexpectedly will reward their vigilance. Am I right? "
As a father shows compassion to his children, that's how our heavenly Father shows compassion to His children too. God is the Father of the second chance, & He's coming to save us. That's the rule of even diplomacy - before a war breaks out,the ambassadors are called home. So too, we're the ambassadors of Christ, & if you wish to stay here on earth during the 7-yrs of Tribulation, that's fine. But personally, I'm waiting & watching expectantly for the day when the Lord shall descend on the clouds with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,& with the trump of God. And I'll be caught up in the air with Him so that where He is, there I'll be also. O, comfort one another with such words😎. That's our blessed hope,,, 🤗
The picture you paint is nice, but it contradicts the teaching of Jesus Christ in John 17:15. Moreover, it is myopic and blind to the reality that outside the USA and the West myriads of our brothers and sisters in the Lord live as persecuted minorities. See Hank’s video - ruclips.net/video/gcXnwzya3zA/видео.html We also recommend the book The Global War on Christians > www.equip.org/product/global-war-christians/

Without rightly dividing the word as GOD commands to do in II Tim 2:15 we will not understand God's word properly. As proven by this video. As far as us going through the tribulation, we the body of Christ will be out of here. Just as promised: 1Thess 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1Thess 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.1Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:1Thess 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.1Thess 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. What comfort is there waiting for the WRATH to come. The bible answer man just doesn't understand this dispensation of GRACE. Grace is not wrath. Eph 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
D & K Grace there is a difference between wrath and tribulation. We are not appointed to wrath because we are in Christ. However, through much tribulation (the first century church) entered the kingdom of heaven. We in the 21st century have the kingdom, but all that will to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. The scriptures you quoted speak nothing of a pre-tribulation rapture, no matter how much you want them to or believe them to. 1 Thess 4, in context, is an explanation of the dead who have died in Christ and their place in the return of Christ. 1 Thess 5 Paul is instructing the Thessalonians to walk circumspectly, since they are in Christ, and since those in Christ are not appointed to His wrath-don’t do things that will have wrath poured on you. You must learn to read the scriptures in context, my friend.
@@minimations8697 You think you can do something to have God's wrath poured out on you? Tell me, what is that? 1Thess 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. The Lord's return in this verse is a return to the clouds not the earth as is the 2nd coming at the end of the tribulation, Daniels 70th week, Jacobs trouble. You need to rightly divide God's word to be able to distinguish, Law from grace, prophecy from mystery, Jew from Gentile, and yes Heaven and Earth. Earth is where the promised kingdom will be for the Jews and the Heavenlies is where the body of Christ will reside. This is how context works. By rightly dividing the word. 2Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
D & K Grace you keep emphasizing “rightly dividing,” but you’re not doing it. First of all, Daniel’s 70 weeks were fulfilled in Christ. In Daniel 9:24, just read what the purpose of the 70 weeks was. Forget the specifics in the following verses for a moment-just read the 6-fold purpose. Who put an end to sin? Who atoned for sin? Who sealed vision and prophet?Who built a house? Who executed a new covenant? Christ did all that. The 70 weeks are fulfilled. Again, Paul’s admonishment to the Thessalonians (and to all disciples of Christ) has continued to be “Walk worthy of the calling,” meaning since you are in Christ, make no provision for the flesh. His focus isn’t so much on the “wrath,” but rather it’s more on mortifying the deeds of the flesh. I guess I should have said, “Don’t live like those who will have wrath poured out on them.” You and I, if we are in Christ, are not to live in sin. If you want to say that this generation of Israel has to complete the “sentence” or punishment of a generation in antiquity then you are saying God has violated His own word. He promised that He would no longer do that (Ezekiel 18:2). What dispensationalists believe is like saying my grandfather committed a crime and was sentenced to 70 years in prison-but a judge decided to suspend his time in prison and then sends me to prison to finish the sentence. God has not done and will not do that. Israel finished their 70 years of desolations spoken by Daniel in 9:1. Then Christ fulfilled the 70 7s told to Daniel in 9:24. The “rightly dividing” needs to occur on the part of Dispensationalists who think God still has to go back to Israel again. Why do you think the temple was destroyed? That was the sign of the end of the Jewish age as JESUS promised in Matthew 24. Now, with the Jewish age out of way, all is in Christ-the executor of a new covenant, and the old is done with. Why would God suspend the new covenant to go back to something that’s decaying, dying, and done with? That’s like giving up Windows 10 to go back to Windows 3.1. Read the entirety of Paul’s writings and you will find that Christ was the plan all along! It was always the plan that all people would be His image and that He would have the kingdom. In Christ there is no Jew, Gentile, male, female, etc. Now, yes, there is a remnant of Israel in Him, but a portion of Israel that is included in the ONE body of Christ, for whom He comes once to deliver from persecution in the end, and then we will forever be with the LORD! Christ does NOT have two bodies; Israel and the church. He only has one, made of all nations, as He promised in Isaiah 43:19-21. Once more, There is no pre-trib rapture. In context Paul is addressing the question posed to him by the Thessalonians regarding the dead and their place in the coming of the LORD.
Ezekiel 34:23-24 23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. 24 And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it.
@@colindavis1496 when I listened to Hank on FM radio every day I had all this down pat, but it's becoming foggy now. Hanks book the apocalypse code explains it all and it is a fantastic read.
@@richardt875...It's actually pretty scary to realize the enormous chasm in interpretation ranging from Hank's preterist view and the ever so dominant pre dispensationalist view amongst the majority of teachers, I find the lack of overall consensus to be rather disheartening as I attempt to nail down which is correct. John MacArthur whom I respect as a Bible teacher takes the pre dispensationalist perspective, I'm not sure who to believe...!
@@colindavis1496 every preacher seems to have a different view on Revelation as a whole. I prefer Hanks explanation, because it offers more proof that Jesus is who he says he is.
@@colindavis1496 We know from Jesus Himself that the great tribulation is coming, but not when. I believe the 1000 year reign of Christ on earth after that period is well established in scripture. So, whether the church is raptured before or mid tribulation is important, but not crucial to a saved member of His church today. It makes little sense to me that a "post" tribulation rapture would be correct. We (His Bride) will reign with Christ on earth for that thousand years, not spend eternity in heaven OFF the earth, as some anti rapturists argue. The Old Testament is full of types and pictures of various sorts. Enoch's rapture (translation) into heaven is well established, and it took place before the flood of Noah destroyed the earth ( a type of the tribulation). Also, the church of Christ is HIs bride. In Jewish culture of the day, once betrothed (legally married at that time), the groom and bride remained apart for an extended period. Then the Husband would return and take His wife back, followed by the wedding feast. There are some answers to this gentleman's objections to the rapture doctrine, but I am not a scholar by any stretch. I am confident in a pre tribulation rapture of the church, and all we can do is remain faithful until our Lord returns, in whatever way that is manifested. God Bless
I used to go back and forth on this. Underneath I always assumed we would go through the Tribulation, but I had to admit that sometimes I would read some arguments for pre-trib and think they had really good points, but then see others for post trib. It wasn't until studying something completely different that made the Truth hit me right in the face. You can NEVER let an interpreted or extrapolated meaning of a scripture override plainly stated scripture. That's when I realized there was not ONE verse that plainly stated a pre-trib rapture. EVERY one of them required you to assume a parallel meaning to a scripture or extrapolate it to something else to SUGGEST the Pre-trib doctrine. Again, many of them were certainly reasonable and rational arguments, but they were all based on assumed meaning that wasn't actually stated. However, there are verses that spell out quite clearly when the rapture takes place. 1Th 4:16-17 "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord." So, from this we KNOW the dead in Christ are raised FIRST, THEN we who are alive and remain will be caught up, and a Trumpet of God is noted as well. 1Co 15:52 "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed." This gives a little further clarification, it's at the LAST Trumpet. Now there are 7 Trumpets mentioned in Revelation. Now that doesn't mean there might not be other trumpets after that, that aren't mentioned, but one thing for sure, by definition, the last Trumpet CAN'T be before that 7th Trumpet sounds. Finally, the OTHER milestone marker is the dead being raised first. Lo and behold Revelation mentions the FIRST Resurrection, so obviously there aren't any other resurrections prior to that one, that could precede the rapture. So the rapture HAS to take place after this resurrection mentioned in Rev. Rev 20:4-5: "Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection." Note it specifically refers to this as the FIRST resurrection and it specifically mentions those who didn't worship the beast or accept the mark. So CLEARLY this can't happen before the Antichrist is revealed and the persecution of those who won't accept the mark. It literally couldn't be any clearer. Meanwhile not ONE verse says we are raptured before the great tribulation. Sadly, so many Christians are so used to preachers and prophets making WILD extrapolations of scriptural doctrine, they've literally lost the ability to tell the difference between something that's ACTUALLY stated and the meaning they are reading into it! I literally had some woman respond with the scripture about the time of Jacob's trouble. She actually thought THAT scripture PROVED pre-trib!
You will be accountable. Zechariah 14 describes the second coming, when Jesus will come down to earth (and all His saints with Him, v. 5) to the Mt. of Olives. In 1 Thessalonians 4:17, Christ doesn't come to earth; we meet Him in the air, two separate events. Isaiah 26:19-20 clearly describes that we will be hidden during the indignation. Malachi 3:16-18 is a promise of being spared on that Day. Daniel was promoted to a higher position and wasn't with his 3 friends when they were thrown into the 7x hotter furnace (7 years Tribulation). There are many scriptures concerning being "caught up"(1 Thess. 4:17). The term comes from Latin Rapturo, where we get the word Rapture. Jesus told us to watch and pray the we be counted worthy to escape "all these things"...Luke 21:36. If you're going to make claims, cite Scripture.
According to Pretrib teaching, the Church is not prophesied in the Old Testament. I find it interesting that in the Old Testament, in Zechariah 14 the word "saints" refers to the Church, but in the New Testament, in Revelation the word "saints" suddenly refers to Israel and NOT the Church. So your word "saints"in the OT refers to a NT people,, while your word "saints" in the NT refers to an OT people. What an act of desperation to find proof for your theory. It would be amusing if it were not so sad. Isaiah 26 is written by Isaiah who says, "Come my people..." This entire passage is about Israel, about their suffering and tribulation, about their failure to be a light to the nations to bring salvation to the earth, about their resurrection and about the indignation that follows that resurrection. It is speaking of Israel entering into their symbolic wedding chamber to be kept safe from God's wrath poured out on the earth. Reading the passage in context, "You have enlarged the nation O Lord, you have enlarged the nation. You are glorified; you have removed it far unto the ends of the earth. Lord in trouble they have visited thee; they poured out a prayer when Thy chastening was upon them, like as a woman with child that draws near to the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs. So we have been in your sight O Lord. We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind. We have not wrought any deliverance in the world, nor have the inhabitants of the earth fallen. Thy dead shall live. Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing you who dwell in the dust, for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out her dead. Come my people..." Malachi 3:16 is also written to Israel about Israel, when Christ comes to purify the sons of Levi. This is a clear reference to Christ's first coming when He sends the messenger before Him to prepare the way. And Daniel is a type of Christ, second in command to Nebuchadnezzar. He missed the fire, but was thrown into the lion's den. He too was spared, just as his three friends were. Oh, and Jesus had three friends in the NT also, Peter, James and John, those reputed to be pillars of the Church. And the watching and the praying have nothing to do with watching and praying for a rapture. It means to be diligent, cautious, to watch, lest you fall into temptation or deception, and you be found unworthy. Jesus, during His hour of temptation, told His three friends to "watch and pray, lest [they] fall into temptation, for the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" Mark 13:48. None of your scripture citations have anything to do with a rapture. If you are going to make a claim, cite RELEVANT scripture. And make sure they agree with other passages which talk about the same events. Zechariah 14 is talking about the Day of the Lord, which the prophet Joel (2:31) Dayhappenstribulation).thiefhappens AFTER the resurrection) is a separate event from the Second Coming, how is this proof that there are seven years separating the events? Especially when the Bible says NOTHING about a seven year tribulation period ANYWHERE. Pretibbers ASSUME that the seventh week of Daniel = a seven year tribulation = the hour of temptation = the wrath of God = the time of Jacob's trouble. But there is no hint that all of these events are concurrent.
Isaiah 26:19-20 when read IN CONTEXT with the rest of the passage, is about ISRAEL. Malachi is also about Israel and not the Church. What you fail to notice about Daniel is that when he is promoted to ruler over the province of Babylon, his three friends were ALSO set over the affairs of the province of Babylon. This is also paralleled in the Gospels. Jesus had three main followers, Peter, James and John. Later, Daniel was also thrown into a lion's den, so Daniel is clearly a type of Christ while his three friends are a type of Christ's followers, the Church. Jesus told us to watch and pray that we be counted worthy to escape "all these things," he was referring to falling into the deception and sin, which would come as a trap on the whole world. And if you read the passage IN CONTEXT, you will find that many who escape "all these things" are also persecuted, betrayed by friends and family, and some are killed for their faith and their witness. That day will come as a snare on all those whose lives are overcharged with the cares of this life, and in living in drunkeness and carousing. It is THESE things we are to pray that we escape. If you are going to make claims, quote RELEVANT Scripture, instead of supposed proof texts taken completely out of context. You do know what "in context" means, don't you? Here, I''l show you. Isaiah is writing to his people Israel in chapter 26. Chapter 15 mentions God increasing the nation, presumably talking about the addition of Gentiles. Chapter 16 talks about Israel pouring out prayers when the Lord's chastening was upon them. Chapter 17 and 18 talks about God's desire to bring about a spiritual birth, that is, bring salvation to the world. It mentions Israel's failure to accomplish this salvation. In another chapter Isaiah says, "Therefore, God's own hand worked salvation..." Chapter 19 mentions the resurrection of Israel, accomplished by Christ on the cross. Chapter 20 mentions Israel entering into their chambers for a little while, while God's wrath is poured out. Clearly, when read in context, that passage is about Israel being hidden during the indignation. It takes a lot of guts to mishandle the Word of God and rip two verses out of this chapter about Israel in order to try to prove a Pretrib rapture of the Church. But this is par for the course for Pretribbers.
Some people think that God's wrath begins when the 6th seal is opened. They base this on the following two verses: "They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” But the reason they understand that God's wrath has come is because of what is taking place in the previous seals. Notice what we see the fourth seal ... "When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth." (Revelation 6:8) ... and compare this with what Ezekiel writes here: "For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem MY four dreadful judgments - sword and famine and wild beasts and plague - to kill its men and their animals!" (Ezekiel 14:21) and here ... "One who is far away will die of the plague, and one who is near will fall by the sword, and anyone who survives and is spared will die of famine. So will I pour out MY WRATH on them." (Ezekiel 6:12)
@Neil-no5hv Yes. That is the pre-wrath view or mid-tribulation rapture (there is a debate, but one wonders whether the advocates are making a distinction without a difference). But the pre-wrath/mid-trib. rapture presumes a future Great Tribulation, which runs into trouble given the time text in the Olivet Discourse and Book of Revelation. See www.equip.org/articles/apocalypse-when/ and www.equip.org/bible_answers/which-generation-is-this-generation/
It means, "How you went from God's grace- shedding God's blood to self redemption-shedding your own blood" to salvation. And if you're blessed enough to be alive at the end of the years of slaughter then you will be raptured. Please don't be a foolish virgins. Let's prepare ahead we've got nothing to loose.
According to notable historians, the book of Revelation was written after 70 A.D., but circa 96-98A.D. Thus, the events described in Revelation could not possibly be the same as you depict.
So many untrue statements made hear, I wouldn't know where to start the corrections. But this is sure - if you do not rightly divide Gods word you will be ashamed. If you think the body of Christ is the same as the Jewish nation, you must study your bible a whole lot more. 2Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Thank you Lord that I look for your "glorious appearing" not your wrathful one. Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; NOT THIS: Isa 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. 11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. 13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Not all Israel is Israel. There is a Israel of God (Gal 6:16), which is the true church out of believers Jew and Gentile alike. The church in the wilderness were only of Israel and the church of Pentecost were also only Jews.Gentiles have no covenant nor promise of their own, they are grafted into the natural tree of Israel and belong to the commonwealth of Israel, they are the new man of Jew and Gentile believer, a union, the middle wall between them broken. They are one body of Christ and protected in Rev 12:6 from the 3 1/2 year tribulation, but Babylon who says they are the true church and will see no sorrow will face the plagues (Rev 18:4). You can make your blessed hope the Pre-trib Rapture, no problem. But it is not biblical, you have no proof. The glorious appearance is His 2nd coming (there is no other) with the Rapture as Jesus told us, I belief Him and His wrath comes after the Post-trib Rapture, His wrath is His judgement on the wicked (not on believers ) and it comes at the end of their live or the end of this age (2nd coming).
@@benny-yj7pq I understand where you are coming from. I was there. After being saved for 35 years and teaching the adult Sunday School class in a Baptist church I learned that we need to rightly divide God's word. This is dividing truth from truth. It's all truth, (in the KJB) but it's not all our truth. The truth for Israel is not our truth. The truth and instructions given by Paul for the body of Christ is not for and never was for the Jews. FYI. "Not all Israel is not Israel", is talking only about Israel. There was a believing Israel and a non-believing Israel. The body of Christ is not mentioned in the OT and does not come into play till the first one was saved in the body of Christ by the gospel of the grace of God - Paul. 1Tim 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. Did you look at that 7 min. video? Peace and Grace
so you think the antichrists are the "Jewish nation?" In 1 John 2:22 - Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (ALL Jews deny Jesus and that makes them antichrist, if they believed in Jesus then they would be CHRISTIANS. IF you do not believe me call any Synagogue and ask them if Jesus is the Messiah.) 1 John 2:23 - Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Since Jews do not accept Jesus as messiah, then who is their messiah? SATAN? 1 Corinthians 16:22 - If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema (CURSED) Maranatha. SO DO JEWS LOVE JESUS OR ARE THEY CURSED?
@@ChaplainBobWalkerBTh you anti-Semite just focus on the verses against the Jews but neglect those about God's grace toward them. You talking about curse? God said He will bless those who bless His people, and well, curse those anti-Semites like you!
I use to lean toward the Pre tribulation rapture. It's only in the last year or so I've moved away from the view and believe we (all believers and non believers) will go through the tribulation. Who are Christians to believe we are going to be spared the troubles that the tribulation will bring?
There no such thing The people who are saved are people written in lambs book of life to be saved is to persevere true meaning most likely not a lot of people will that fact is only people sealed with Holy Spirt will survive
I was a post triber, pre wrath thinker. However, studying this topic in the scripture it leaves me lean towards pre trib. It requires scriptures interpreting scriptures. The Holy Spirit will be taken off this earth before the 7 years start. We saved Christians are sealed with the Holy Spirit and that is a promise by God. Now right before the 7 years start John sees the heavens open and the church sit in heaven, at the same time the spirit is taken off the earth and the 7 years start. There is much more to it but a deep study leaves me lean towards pre trib. The rapture that is easily referred to always addresses the Jews. Paul however addressed the gentiles and much is different. Rightly dividing is crucial to avoid confusion.
Zach, read Leviticus 14:33-53, the story regarding a plague of mildew in one's house. Here in the Torah is the pre-Tribulation Rapture confirmed, the priest (Christ) comes before the 7 days (years) to call out believers from the house (the world), being the sixth church of Revelation. Reddish plague is symbolic of leftism, Marxism, communism, etc. Greenish mildew is symbolic of Islam. People found in the house during the 7 days must wash their clothes, this group is symbolic of people who come to faith during the Tribulation, the seventh church of Revelation.
Thank you! I never believed in the rapture, because I study the Bible regularly. It tought me more, than any of the various Churches I've ever been to!
The seven years that the Hebrews were being murdered by the Nazi’s certainly fits the narrative of the Tribulation and Israel becoming a nation again after the 2 thousand year dispersal by the hand of Christ and Our Father.! The dry bones coming together in Ezekiel is fullfiled with Israel 🇮🇱 in 1948 .! All good things come from Our Father who art in HEAVEN AMEN
There is a pretrib rapture dear believer but not all those that believe in pretrib will go in pretrib.The Philadelphian saints are the church of BROTHERLY LOVE. The bride wants all saints to be harvested with the barley company at pretrib. The bulk of the church will reject the bridal calling. Believers will go to heaven when they are ready to be harvested. The crop must be ready before it can be harvested. Barley and wheat are both grain companies that are both planted at the same time, in the autumn. Barley matures faster than wheat and is harvested in the spring. BARLEY IS THE BRIDE, and she leaves at pretrib. Wheat is harvested in the summer. Wheat is the great multitude church gathered in Rev 7..... THE VIRGINS WITHOUT NUMBER AKA THE INNUMERABLE COMPANY! The final company, caught up at midtrib, before the open door is shut, are the grapes that are gathered at midtrib. The grapes are the 144,000 Jews. The Jews finally believe Christ is their king because they gleaned the truth from the Barley and wheat companies.
He said Bible only speaks of one time the dead wicked and righteous are resurrected . Mathew 27.52 speaks of saints being ressurected at that time. He said no scripture speaks of pretribulation. Rev 3:10 clearly does. People who disagree with that opinion usually don't accept the plain clear meaning of the verse . They say in context it means something else. But it is very clear and God is not trying to confuse the readers. I could go on and refute each point . But it would be a waste of time . The man is emotionally attached to his post tribulation view.
The Word of God clearly teaches a pre tribulation rapture. The reason many people choose not to believe it, shows that they really don't want Christ to return, because they love the world. Titus 2:13
@billmartinn9851 ~ Titus 2:13 concerns the blessed hope of Christ. It has to do with the future resurrection to everlasting life. Nothing about the pretribulation rapture.
Pretrib is a monkey hear monkey believe doctrine. Promoted by pansy believers who are too special to be subject to beheading. Where's your bible verse for a second rapture, which is required for tribulation martyrs. The parroted line is the church isn't mentioned. Are you nuts? Believers ARE mentioned and the church is just assembled believers. Believers assemble...underground small or open megachurch.
His point is not to show that other views are correct, but to show that the pretrib rapture is unbiblical. He probably isn't using a lot of bibe (sic) because there isn't any bible that supports the pretrib rapture. The passages that people believe support the rapture actually don't.
@@Mrcrisis2012 Uh, yeah, william, whatever you say. I studied, believed and taught the pretrib rapture for over 30 years, until I actually DID start to read it. BTW, it's YOU'RE clueless, not YOUR clueless. And I would be careful about judging a brother. Believing a pretrib rapture is not a prerequisite to knowing Jesus. Can you show me where the Bible actually says that the rapture happens before a tribulation? Can you even show me where the Bible teaches a seven year tribulation? The Day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. When people are saying peace and safety, destruction will come. (That's in the Bible. I won't cite references, since you seem to read and know it. The Day of the Lord happens AFTER the sun, moon and stars are darkened. That's in the Bible. Again, you should know the several passages where it is found, and you shouldn't have to look in a concordance. Jesus said that the darkening of the sun, moon and stars happens "AFTER the tribulation of those days. He also says that His Coming is after the darkening of the sun moon and stars. THEN He tells us that this same Coming (NOT some mysterious coming not even mentioned) will be like the days of Lot and Noah. He tells us about this same Coming, that no man knows the day or the hour. Now if you have not completely lost your ability to think and reason, you should be able to discern that the evens follow a certain chronology: 1) "tribulation of those days" 2) darkening of the sun, moon and stars 3) Day of the Lord coming as a thief (which includes the gathering of the elect and the punishment of the wicked. The ELECT refers to those who are in Christ. Paul makes it clear that the elect is not synonymous with Israel. He says, "Not all who are descended from Israel are Israel," AND "what Israel sought it did not find, but the ELECT found it (that is a righteousness that is by faith). So the ELECT refers to the believing remnant of Israel and the ingrafted Gentiles who are saved by faith. In other words, the CHURCH! Pretribbers attempt to equate the tribulation with the wrath of God on the Day of the Lord. The Bible will have none of this pretrib nonsense. It says plainly that the wrath poured out on the Day of the Lord happens "after the tribulation of those day." It's that simple. You can quote you proof texts till the cows come home and you still will not find a pretrib rapture. An example of one of these proof texts is the claim that the "hour of temptation" refers to the tribulation. If find it funny. That promise to be kept form the hour of temptation was given to a specific literal church that existed in the first century. They were promise this protection because they "kept the word of Christ's patience." But if this is referring to a tribulation that would not occur for another 1900 or so years, the promise because completely meaningless, because even those who did NOT keep the word of Christ's patience were kept from the hour. It seems to me that the hour of temptation is one that Paul talks about, when he says that there is no temptation but which is common to man (all men), and that God will make a way of escape from this temptation. Jesus' "hour of temptation is Gethsemane is also a type of the hour of temptation in Revelation. Jesus told His disciples to "watch and pray," lest they fall into temptation. And when they fell asleep, He said, "Could you not watch for one hour?" And we all know that Peter fell away and denied the Lord. This is what it will be like during the end times. And it is only those who have persevered in faith and kept the word of Christ's patience that will escape this time. Pretribbers seem to miss the fact that the so-called church age ends AFTER the Laodicean age, NOT the Philadelpian age. It also says that thoe Laodicean ovecomers will sit on Christ's throne and He sat on His Father's throne. These are those who John says reign with Christ a thousand years. Pretribber like to make the claim that John being call up in the spirit symbolizes the rapture of the Church. If so, where are the dead in Christ who rise first? Where is the voice of the archangel, and the trumpet of God. (Jesus voice also sounds like a trumpet chapter one. Is that also the trumpet of God?) But if indeed, the calling up of John is the rapture, then should it not have happened after Philadelphia, and not after Laodicea? So, the Bible says NOWHERE that the rapture happens after tribulation. I like how you quote absolutely no Scripture in your comment and then claim that I don't read or know the Bible, or know Jesus for that matter. Is THAT your argument? You have no answer so you attack and judge?
Again, let's get back to the subject of when Christ will withdraw the Church. It is lawful that in the current situation, Christians ask themselves: Are we going to go through the Tribulation? How do you explain Christians suffering now? And how to understand these texts: "And she was allowed to make war on the saints, and to overcome them ... And I saw that the woman was drunk on the blood of the saints, and on the blood of the witnesses of Jesus" Rev. 13: 7 and 17: 6. So how to sustain pre-tribulationism? If passages like Paul Ap.3: 10 and Luke 21:36 do not comfort you ... Then I want to bring Jesus' own words ... "you are Peter, and on this stone I will build my church, and the doors from hell will not prevail against her; " Mt 16:18. Christ's statement is that the Evil One will never, never be able to extinguish the Church or exterminate it completely, so it is clear that she will not participate in this period when the Antichrist will be allowed to win everything and everyone. If it is impossible for Christ to lie, then let us be confident and sober in the Word. I see many of their faces fallen and defeated, terrified by the situation they see and what is to come, they do not know that you are an elected race, a royal priesthood, the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world, you are more what a winner and that no creature of the present or the future can separate you from the Love of God, in the person of Christ Jesus! So watch and pray because the One who bought you at a high price will come to rescue you. Maranata!
WK, You base much of your beliefs on a far future fulfillment of Revelation. The writer, John, addressed the book to the seven churches in Asia Minor that were actual (literal!) churches in his time. He says, quoting Jesus, “the things that must take place shortly”, “I am coming soon”, “the time is near” throughout Revelation. The revelation was given to John during one of the most trying times of the first century Christians. John says he is a “brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation” they were experiencing. The rivalry between those who said Caesar is Lord and those proclaiming Jesus is Lord began in earnest with the persecution of Nero in 64 AD, as we know from Tacitus and other historians. It is without a doubt that the revelation had a firm contextual grounding in the first century church struggling against the persecutions by the beast of Rome, not to the present day 2,000 years removed. If you want to understand Revelation, you must first understand the Old Testament; 2/3rd of the book is quoting or alluding to the OT prophets. For example, the harlot on the beast with the cup of wine representing the blood of the prophets and the saints was used in Jeremiah and Ezekiel as symbolic of apostate Judah in the 6th BC, when God judged the nation and destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in 586 BC. Jesus told the Pharisees they were guilty of the blood of “the prophets whose blood they shed”, and to fill up the full measure. This was the precise symbol used to describe the coming wrath of God in the OT through the Babylonians as it was in Revelation through the Romans. According to Eusebius the Christians fled Judea to the mountains of Perea to the north, in Pella, when the Roman armies led by Cestius Gallus surrounded the city in 66 AD. The Christians who heeded Jesus’ words to flee Judea were spared, while the Jews trusted in their ability to find protection in the temple, God’s house, and were slaughtered by the sword, famine, and plague-just as in Jeremiah and Ezekiel’s day. There is no mention of the antichrist in the book of Revelation, nor anywhere else in the NT. John describes “antichrists” as false teachers who had “gone out from” the congregations of believers in his day, but no end times antichrist is to be found in the Bible, at all. This is purely pop-eschatology, and it sells lots of books.
That's simple go through Matthew 24 the Olivet's Discourse, the Messiach gave the answers to His Disciples. I mean there you'll find His direct answer.
Tristan Anderson Our beliefs should be strongly grounded in biblical evidence so that we can confidently share our faith with others. The exchange of information we have on this forum is presenting our “arguments”-our defense of what we believe-but need not be “argumentative”. Examining the strengths and weaknesses of our beliefs makes us stronger in our service in the Kingdom, as “iron sharpens iron” (Prov 27:17). I have come to believe the rapture as commonly taught is not a biblical doctrine. I came to this conclusion after carefully studying the Bible, after previously believing it simply because that was what I was taught. I want to encourage you to challenge your beliefs, and be willing to follow what the Bible clearly teaches-not me, or any “prophecy experts”. There is nothing to fear or lose by challenging our beliefs against the Bible, only the reward of proper study and strength in your beliefs. My investigative journey of 8 years (and counting!) have led me to the conclusion that I could no longer support dispensationalism and a secret coming/partial resurrection called the rapture. Be encouraged to “test all things and hold on to that which is good” (1 Thess 5:12). Be blessed, Tristan!
My only criticism is the inappropriate use of "decimated" in the context. It sounds good and works for modern contexts, but applied to AD 70 it is far less emphatic than the word Destroyed, as in the temple was utterly or completely destroyed. Otherwise, an outstanding Bible lesson.
I can not believe this is Hank Hanegraaff speaking. I never would have believed 20 years ago or now he could be so utterly deceived. The fact that he would believe God would make his church the bride of Christ suffer the tribulation is unbelievable . . .
@richardg9734 Well, the Scriptures teach the Christian experiences tribulation, and Hank is affirming the authority of the Bible. 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) 5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Rom. 5:1-4). 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. (James 1:2) 12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter. (1 Peter 4:12-16). 1 Thessalonians 5:8-9 never tells us that we are going to be taken out of the fight before the fight gets going, but we put on the armor and we are not destined to wrath.
Pretribulationist here, be ready for the rapture or endure the tribulation and beheading for JESUS.IF you miss the rapture you miss the marrage feast in heaven.
@mgman2640 Always be vigilant for the second appearance of Jesus Christ. Remain faithful to the end. Yet, nothing in Scripture tells of a pretribulation rapture, i.e., the idea that God is going to remove the Church from the Earth before the start of a future seven-year Great Tribulation that ends with Jesus' Second Coming and the start of the Millennium.
Hosea 3:4-5 4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: 5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.
IMO, the disappointment of no pre-trib rapture happening will cause the great falling away of the faith, midway through the 7-yr treaty. These disappointed "Christians" will be the first to take the Mark of the Beast, so they can survive, because their minds weren't prepared for the persecutions.
I have thought the same about the "great falling away". If they aren't "raptured" before it gets messy, they will turn their backs on Christ claiming that He isn't coming.
Sad, but true! That's why studying His Word is so important, rather than following man! I pray a lot more people will read your comment and consider this!
The Rapture is in 1 Thessalonians @ harpagēsometha (Greek) = rapiemur (Latin) = we shall be raptured. Raptured = caught up. Check the Greek verb harpazō. I count 9 raptures in the Bible: Enoch, Elijah, Christ, Philip in Acts (short hop rapture), Paul (possibly in vision) John Rev 4:1 (possibility in vision, The Church, & the 2 witnesses of Rev 11. There should be no dispute about the fact of the Rapture. Christians do debate its timing relative to other prophetic events. This debate should not cause rancor. What we believe on the Rapture will not change anything about it one white.
The rapture will be at the last trumpet. (like it is written in scriptures below) (before the 7 bowls of the wrath of God) Revelation 10 -7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the MYSTERY of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 1 Corinthians 15 -51 Behold, I shew you a MYSTERY; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed -52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, AT THE LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Thessalonians 4 -16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the TRUMPET of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise -17 After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
@@7Logik Paul was a former devout follower of Hebrew laws, and so a logical context for "last trump" can be found in the Old Testament. . . The "last trump" would be understood by Paul as indicating that the entire congregation was to be on the move, (Numbers ch. 10), so, likewise the "last trump" at the time of the Rapture was likely used to indicate that the entire CHURCH will be called up together. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-16). Further, the Revelation judgement trumpet visions by John would not be given for approximately 40 years after Paul wrote, so how would Paul have known of any other future trumpets? Here are four reasons why the "last trump" is unique: 1.The church age trumpet is called the "trump of God" The last trumpet of Revelation is the trumpet of the 7th angel. 2. The "last trump" in Thessalonians calls the dead to life. The last (7th) trumpet of Revelation is blown AFTER the two witnesses are resurrected, and final wrath is coming. 3. The trumpet ending the church age comes as a BLESSING. The last trumpet of Revelation is for JUDGEMENT ("the third woe"). 4. The trump of the church age sounds in "a moment, in the twinkling of an eye", but the 7th trumpet of Revelation sounds for "DAYS". (Rev. 10:7)
Mark13:17 Woe to those who are with child.. It is an analogy that means, some are spiritually in the bed with satan. They were not faithful to the Bridegroom rapture:act of carrying off," from Middle French rapture, from Medieval Latin raptura "seizure, rape, kidnapping," from Latin raptus "a carrying off, abduction, snatching away; rape" (see rapt).
What man deceived thee to believe the word of God is written by God in the Greek language? Other than one word, Apollyon, which is a pure word, what precepts of the LORD are written in the Greek language? The book of the LORD's holy scriptures is written in one pure language made of pure words and such a language is called the Hebrew tongue. The great question however is: what is the true Hebrew tongue?
Your teaching is right in line with the pope, seventh day Adventist, and j w’s…all reject the gospel Paul preached 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and are ready to “ endure to the end “ as Jesus told a tax collector, a devil, and 10 fishermen….. are you saved? How did you get saved?
People forget to read into scripture the MILLENNIAL AGE. Not all verses are referring to before the rapture. Also, the very word TRIBULATION is misleading; the ACTUAL DEFINITION of the word tribulation has nothing to do with WRATH or the time of Gods judgement. The word tribulation is simply defined as troubles and distress, these are what the earth has always experienced. The correct order 1. Tribulation 2. Great tribulation 3. Wrath Tribulation is first not last! The world has always experienced tribulation. So when Jesus says in Matthew 24:29 “immediately after the tribulation of those days” he’s referring to theses days. This man needs to go back and study his theory with the CORRECT knowledge.
Hank you may want to read "50 reasons for a pre-tribulation rapture" by the late Dr John Walvoord.........he thought through all this long before you started your radio show
Thank you. I am not totally convinced of pre-trib but it is so unscholarly for Hank to dogmatically declare that "there is no Biblical evidence for a pre-trib rapture". I tend to be pre-trib and I think that is as far as you can commit to any of these views. They all have Biblical support and they all have Biblical detractions. Which one comes out most likely? For me it looks like pre-trib.
@@bronzemv4440 some believe the first rapture is pre trib for believers, then during trib, then at the end of trib, depending on how hard-headed people are in accepting the gospel
If jesus comes for his bride before the tribulation as pre-trib indicates how do you explain Revelations 19:7 where it is said "Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready." The bride is the church and according to that verse it is then that the wedding feast, referred to in Matthew 25 and Mark 13 by Jesus, is happening and he is there to redeem his bride(the church). Does he do it twice?
Send this guy to a seminary please. How can you be so wrong on so many points? Gabriel tells Daniel that the 70 weeks are decreed for “your people” (Israel)…which includes the 70th week. It is not decreed for the church. The church didn’t exist yet. The entire point of the 7 year tribulation is to get Israel to repent and call on Jesus’ name, which they will, and then he will return in his second coming.

Hank I love your teaching on the false doctrine of the pre-trib rapture first taught by John Nelson Darby not all that long ago in the 1830s! People need to study church history to find out the truth and cross reference it with Biblical truth like you do and many of us do who study scripture. I totally agree with you on so much stuff the mainline churches have been teaching in error for decades. God bless you Hank and thank you for what you do for the Gospel. ✝️🙏✝️🙏
It doesn't matter whether believers will be raptured before the tribulation or after it. What matters is we must always be ready so that the day we die, we will be right with our God.
It mostly doesn't matter. But go ahead and tell someone who believes in pretrib rapture and see how nasty they get with you. Not all, but a good deal of these people have already fallen away.
It DOES matter in the sense that if you believe you're going to be captured and it never happens, you're going to be very disillusioned and lose faith because you have been taught wrong information! The "great falling away"!
Pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib - they're all wrong. There is no SECRET rapture and then Christ coming back a third time! Read your Bibles!!
Hank is saying that there is no secret rapture it is more biblically called the Resurrection at Christs coming not a rapture. There is no Bible to support pretrib rapture. This was first started in the in the 1830s. The early church did not teach a rapture before the great tribulation that Jesus speaks of Matthew 24!
It matters in the sense that Christ warned and so did Paul to the church.
There is a pretrib rapture dear believer but not all those that believe in pretrib will go in pretrib.The Philadelphian saints are the church of BROTHERLY LOVE. The bride wants all saints to be harvested with the barley company at pretrib. The bulk of the church will reject the bridal calling. Believers will go to heaven when they are ready to be harvested. The crop must be ready before it can be harvested. Barley and wheat are both grain companies that are both planted at the same time, in the autumn. Barley matures faster than wheat and is harvested in the spring. BARLEY IS THE BRIDE, and she leaves at pretrib. Wheat is harvested in the summer. Wheat is the great multitude church gathered in Rev 7..... THE VIRGINS WITHOUT NUMBER AKA THE INNUMERABLE COMPANY! The final company, caught up at midtrib, before the open door is shut, are the grapes that are gathered at midtrib. The grapes are the 144,000 Jews. The Jews finally believe Christ is their king because they gleaned the truth from the Barley and wheat companies.
The Greek word from this term “rapture” is derived appears in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, translated “caught up.” The Latin translation of this verse used the word rapturo. The Greek word it translates is harpazo, which means to "snatch or take away".
Hanegraff does not know this or acknowledge this.
@@granthodges3012 'caught up' from Thessalonians 4.17 does not translate to 'rapture'. To 'rapture' is to break off from something not to get caught up. Different meanings entirely. When you stretch the meaning of 'caught up' to incorporate 'rupture' you risk breaking the semantics involved. Punn intended.
@@oneoctavelow Understanding the Bible begins with the Greek text, in this context, the Greek word harpadzo. In Liddell and Scott, p. 245, the classic Greek Lexicon, the hardback version, which I am lucky to own, on p. 245 begins the long entry on harpadzo. The first three meanings in order are: 1. snatch away, carry off. 2 seize hastily, snatch up. 3. Seize, overpower, over master. The next two entries are variations on No. 3. So the Latin translations used the future passive of the Latin "rapio", to translate harpadzo, which is how it came in to English. The Latin lexical form is "rapiemur", "to seize, snatch, or carry away", pretty much a one to one translation. This is how "the Rapture" came into our English speech about I Thessalonians 4:17. This is first year Greek lore. So I am certain you didn't look this up in a Greek lexicon. And you certainly are totally wrong as is whoever told you your story above. So . . . . your punishment . . . :) . . . is . . . Read Romans 11 aloud slowly and each time you come to the word Israel or a pronoun that refers back to Israel, you must say "The Church" with gusto! Listen carefully to yourself and how what you are reading doesn't make any sense, and realize that All the nation of Israel WILL BE SAVED! Isn't that wonderful?!
@@oneoctavelow ignore the word "rapture" and study the word "Harpadzo" . I love Andy Woods sermon series on "The Rapture" aka Harpadzo! I used to be a post trib guy, so glad I got the wake up call.

Explain Luke 21:36 if it's unbiblical, if we are to pray to escape ALL things that must come to pass, when you believe there is no escape.
They cannot explain it. These are Jesus words, yet they reject what he said in Luke 21:36 as if he did not know what he was talking about.
@Nick-83 God would preserve then through those trials of course. But nothing about a pretribulation rapture - the idea that God is going to remove the Church from the Earth before the start of a future seven-year Great Tribulation that ends with Jesus' Second Coming and the start of the Millennium.
He basically says there is no coming tribulation in the first place.
Easier said than done. Every time I think I've gotten it right, I've got about 20 different religious people telling me I've got it wrong. So, I figure, I'm better off listening to that quiet voice of God that reveals lessons to me from time to time.
They make a lot more sense then all the preachers I've ever heard, and all the religious people I've ever encountered.
Yep…that quiet voice tells me there is no pre trib rapture.
Isaiah 26:19-21
@@tarzanvineswinger7405 This passage is speaking about Israel, not the Church.

Read and study the word of GOD AND be like the Berren in the book of acts who searched the scriptures daily to see if these things Paul spoke were true God's word is true your responsible for checking it out please do
@@brettkrueger9464 I've studied the Bible daily for over thirty years and found that these things are not true. There is no hint whatsoever of any of the variations of Dispensationalism as they are taught. There are of course two dispensations recorded in the Bible, the old and the new. The word "dispensation" comes from the Greek "oikonomos" which means, literally, "law of the house." In the beginning, God created man in His image and dwelt with him in Eden. Under the Old Covenant, God's "house" became the Temple. It was were His glory dwelt, for a time. Moses was the steward of that House and "dispensed" the law to the people. In the fulness of time, Jesus became the true Temple, the dwelling place of God. It was in Him that the glory and the fulness of the godhead dwelt. After Jesus death and resurrection, He ascended to the right hand of the Father. From there He sent His Spirit, and those who believe become Living Stones in the Temple of Christ's Body, filled with all the fulness of God, and changed from glory to glory into His image. Paul is the steward of God's New Testament House, dispensing the Law of Christ to God's people. It's as simple as that.
The Church is pictured as a holy City, a Bride made up of walls with the names of the twelve apostles, and gates with the names of the twelve tribes. Apart from the Church, Israel after the flesh has no inheritance. God does not have two peoples, an earthly Israel and a heavenly Church. God and the Lamb dwell in the midst of the Holy City, the HEAVENLY Jerusalem, a people crucified with Christ and raised up, seated with Him in heavenly places. God's Kingdom is not of this world. If it were, His servants would fight to bring it to pass. The writer of Hebrews tells us, "...You have come to Mount Zion...the church of the Firstborn whose names are written in heaven..." Read the rest of Paul and you will find that God's ETERNAL PURPOSE from the foundation of the world is to bring all things in heaven and earth and under the earth, together IN CHRIST. It is not to separate the earthly and the heavenly as Dispensationalist claim. The Church is the fulfillment, or culmination of the ages (I Corinthians 10), the fulfillment of all the types and shadows of the Old Testament, for "the Testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." I grew up a Dispensationalist, believing in a Pretrib rapture. I had all the books and DVDs and tapes and charts and understood it all. I listened to all of the TV preachers, Lindsey, Stone, VanImpe, Walvoord, etc. Then I began studying the Bible and found none of these things they taught. In Dispensationalism, passages as wrested out of context, words and terms and definition are conflated, a priori assumptions are made and the literal hermeneutic that Dispensationalists claim to use consistently, is only used when a passage seems to support their theory. Those that contradict their theory are conveniently place in the "for Israel" category. Great tribulation becomes the wrath of God, even though it is the antichrist who perpetuates this great tribulation after the placing of the abomination. John is said to represent the Church in Revelation 4 when he is purported to be raptured, but then for some unknown reason, when he is taken into the wilderness he ceases to be the Church. Paul, quoting Isaiah, tells us that "though they be like the sands of the seashore, only a remnant will be saved. Later He tells us that "in this manner, all Israel will be saved." Logic tells of that "all Israel" and the "remnant" must be describing the same group of people. He also tells us that that remnant was being saved in His day, just as the remnant was being saved in Elijah's day. And that remnant will continue to be saved until the fullness of the Gentile is come into that remnant of Israel, the Olive Tree. (The implication of God's people being an Olive Tree is that they are filled with olive oil, a symbol of the Holy Spirit.) Under the Old Covenant, God's chosen people consisted of an earthly kingdom. Under the New Covenant, His people consist of a remnant of faith OUT OF the earthly nation, NOT the entire nation. The Kingdom was taken away from Israel a given to a people (the remnant of Israel) who would bear the fruit of the Kingdom. Under the Law, there is no fruit, for the Law brings wrath, and a curse. With the coming of the Spirit, a believing remnant of Israel was born again and became fruitful. It is this faithful and fruitful Israel that Gentiles are grafted into, and those unbelieving branches of Israel that were broken off because of unbelief, in order to be saved, can only be saved by receiving the Spirit through faith. Of course, this Spirit is the same Spirit that Dispensationalist say is removed with the Church at the rapture. And somehow, void of the Spirit, 144,000 Jewish "evangelists?" (something never indicated in the text) will bear the fruit of salvation, bringing a multitude into the Kingdom (a different Kingdom that the one Christ rules over, which is not of this world.) Anyway, Dispensationalism is a complex web of deceit and sleight of hand, and that is why it is so hard to disprove. It takes years of study to unravel the complex web of lies.

@@1516Taylor That was 500 years before the flood. He could also die in that time. A very weak argument and it applies to all Rapture views, because the destruction of the wicked comes at His wrath after the GT at His 2nd coming, not before. Study the Day of the Lord and God's wrath in the Greek,(LITV bible), it will open your eyes.
I find it absolutely amazing that an intellect like this actually implies J.N. Darby as being the one who devised the pretrib Rapture.
He really ought to contact Lee Brainard, who has discovered dozens of ECFs who taught the pretrib Rapture.
Yes, folks check out Lee W. Brainard’s book (Recent Pre-Trib Findings in the Early Church Fathers).
Lee is doing a superb job in finding more ECF's that support the Pretrib doctrine.
The 'Bible Answer Man' would do well to actually believe what the Bible states. But I suspect his pride would never allow it.
The Pre-Tribulational rapture theory will cause MANY to fall away.
Wow. Good point. May God richly bless you brother. Another reason why the rapture is false.
If people insist on setting dates, then yes you are right.
No one knows the two things when will be rapture and when will be jesus christ coming.

Oh then I have good question who are the people that are alive during the millennium reign? Since the church is taken in the end with Christ and the rest die with the antichrist? Right? So who are those people?
Christians are not going to face great tribulation because its Jacobs trouble.
Christian have job to do now, and they're being persecuted for this all their life, and moreover, a christian life is a sacrificial life.
It's started with Jews its going to end with Jews.
The book of revelation says that the antichrist will make war with the Saints of God. That cannot happen if there’s a “pretribulation” rapture.
Furthermore, the book of revelations also describes a great multitude of people greater than any man can count, coming out from within the great tribulation having wash the robes in the blood of Jesus Christ. That also cannot happen if there is a “pretribulation”.
il y a des gens sauvés pendant la tribulation
Agree
@Reverend Turmoil
Revelation 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Bingo
Those saints are the ones saved after the rapture
I agree with this. I think there will be one second coming of our Lord, and not two.
So if the second coming was in 70 AD, then that means there is no more salvation, no more Gospel, no more elect, and no resurrection. It means there is no more Christianity. These are the consequences of full preterism.

Are you taking all those verses literally? It's what you call Hebraic apocalyptic language which was written using hyperbolic (exaggerated) language. You need to find out what those verses SYMBOLISE? For example, what does it mean that the Son of Man will "come on the clouds of heaven"? Obviously this is symbolic language.
We just need to be ready regardless of what God decides to do...but this video is so needed because some Christians are hanging thier hat on this pre tribulation hope. We want to have our spirits ready for if we are persecuted in the tribulation knowing that is where our victory is at just like the son of man who lied his down before us.
The first chapters of Revelation exhort the churches to overcome. How did Jesus overcome? By submitting to death. Therefore God exalted Him and gave Him the Name that is above every other name. Pretribbers believer they will be exalted without even having to overcome anything. But what are those things that the Spirit is urging the churches to overcome? The very things that are revealed in the rest of Revelation. The NT tells us to consider it pure joy when we face trials of many kinds, knowing that the testing of our faith develops perseverance, and perseverance makes us mature and perfects our faith. Paul urged us to rejoice in suffering and to be patient in tribulation, and he longed to fill up in his flesh the sufferings of Christ, being made like Him in His death, so as to somehow attain to the resurrection of the dead. We are told over and over against to watch and pray. Pretribbers think this means to watch for the rapture. But that is not the meaning. It means to watch, be on guard, be careful, lest we fall into temptation and deception. Jesus, during His hour of temptation in Gethsemane, urged the disciple to watch and pray. When they had fallen asleep, He asked, Could you not watch for one hour? This is a type of the hour of temptation in Revelation. Like Peter, many will be caught unaware and will fall away like the seed sown on throne ground. When trouble and persecution come, because they have no root, they will quickly wither. Unfortunately, they will not heed any of the warnings because they believe that they are for Israel and not the Church. They have been deceived by the false doctrine called Dispensationalism.
You are correct. But thinking in pre trib will put your guard down and you will stop searching and looking for Yeshua.
Mate, do you have personal relationship with The Lord? When conveying his Rapture Message to Thessalonians, did not Paul the Apostle say, " wesay unto you by the word of The Lord" (1 Thessalonians chapter 4 vs. 13-18). It was The Lord"s Message Paul was delivering to the people of God, NOT his own fanciful fable! How could you and other Saints absorb any nauseatic doubts from boffins like this one on the video? Did not our Lord Yeshua The Messiah warn us as the primary thing, to watch out that no man deceive you? (Matthew 24:4). What more could one say?
The stooge on this video plays false prophet and liar. Sent by the Antichrist and his henchmen, most likely
@@lawrencegarcia1675 That’s an assumption…your assuming that fear of the tribulation is what’s going to keep us following Christ when it’s the fear or reverence for the Lord that will keep us not the fear of a event. In the tribulation there will still be people that will deny Christ so that event cannot be our reason.
Pretrib is biblical. The command is to be looking for the return of Christ not the appearance of antichrist. The church is never mentioned after chapter 3 in revelation.
"YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT." In my humble experience, there is much pride found in those coming against rapture. They often call names and get very angry. They insist those who believe in the pre tribulation rapture think they are better than others and stupid to think they can get into heaven without dying for Christ. They create fear and confusion. The truth is, millions have been saved throughout history without dying a horrible death for Christ. Why some had to, is for the Living God Jesus to decide. "What's it to you if I want him kept alive until I come back?" The truth is the saved Christian can and does suffer each day on this wicked dying planet. The truth is true belief Jesus Christ crucified and risen is more than enough to be saved. It is the ONLY requirement. The idea you must suffer and die for your salvation is blatantly blasphemous. Period. For all their anger and insistence they are right and we all must die to be worthy, the TRUTH of Jesus Christ and HIS Worthyness stands. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Name the scholars, pastors, teachers, etc. that taught or preached on the (7) year pre-tribulation rapture before 1830... I have searched for over (3) years and can find NONE. John Wycliffe, Martin Luther, and Sir Issac Newton did NOT believe in this theory.
Amen. We are NOT appointed to WRATH at all. We are told to WATCH. We certainly don’t have to watch for the Second Coming. How silly. That day is easy to figure out. The only reason to watch is because it’s a PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE.

In REVELATION, the LAST BOOK of the Bible there are 7 trumps and the 7th trump is the LAST ONE and is at the end of the tribulation. there is not a 7th last trump prior to the tribulation.

There are many more who have died than 10. This proves nothing. The nature and character of God is to rescue the righteous before pouring out Hos wrath on the ungodly. This has nothing to do with persecution.
This is why you dont get it.
Also the rapture is not the second coming, which is His glorious appearing when every eye shall see him.
@@jbsikes6841 thanks for the zero bible verses for proof since you have none.
IDK I always felt the rapture teaching is very American like our brothers and sisters suffer so badly but we think we’ll be raptured before it gets so bad here.
I agree. I recently heard a quote from Corrie Ten Boom where she talks about the same thing!!
I ALSO AGREE. WE ARE SUCH GOOD PEOPLE? I BELIEVED BECAUSE I WAS TAUGHT ... NOT ANYMORE.
Acts 14:22
King James Version
22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much TRIBULATION enter into the kingdom of God
Wake up!
@cesar Can you expand on your interpretation there? Do you think that verse is a rapture proof?
@@samanthagirikhanov2796 that verse is proof that there is NO such thing as a pre-trib rapture. Think about this, all Christ disciples went through tribulation. The apostles went through tribulation. And even Christ himself did. So are we greater than the master? NO! Those that are alive will go through much tribulation before the return of Christ Yashaya.
I actually had to go back and read your original post again, I was thinking you believed in the rapture theory. But you're right it's a very American thing. So many people will be shocked and turn away from God once they find out the rapture is just one big lie!
I am 73 years old, and have studied the bible for many years since my faith in God. I fully support the view of this teaching. It's due to the pretribulation teaching by churches, that my wife and I don't attend the modern churches anymore. The great tribulation started when Jesus ascended to heaven. When He comes back, he will take the new spiritual Israel to himself which includes all born again believers including all messianic jews.
So you forsake to assemble yourself together, because the church doesn’t teach your view of the end times 🤔 guess you really aren’t concerned with what the Bible says anyway 🤷♂️
If both the Saved and the Unsaved are Raised simultaneously and Judged as you CLAIM, what about Revelation 20:5-6, Which says, "The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.! This is the first Resurrection. Blessed and Holy are those who have part in the First Resurrection. The Second Death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.!!🤔✝️👀🫠♎️🕎🙋♂️
So you are just going to skip verses 3 and 4?
1. Why then watch and pray, "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 31:36.
Why is there a 1st Resurrection (of which Jesus Christ is The First Fruits?)
2. There is still 1 week missing in Daniel's 70 weeks prophesy, 7+62=69 having been fulfilled. Also, these 69 were fulfilled by Israel.
3. Revelation informs us in The Word of God that the anti-christ will put an end to sacrifice 3 1/2 years into the 7 year period / covenant that is signed.
Israel, must declare / say "Blessed is He who comes in The Name of The Lord" and they will do this when they realize that Jesus Christ is their Messiah.
4. Can you explain the appearing of Jesus IN THE CLOUDS vs His Feet touching / landing on the Mount of Olives.
Appearing for those waiting and expecting Him and for those rejecting Him, like a thief in the night.
Landing on the Mount of Olives, every eye will see Him.
1. The Greek says watch and pray that you may have the strength (to overcome), to escape. There is an escape from and out of trial, God makes a way of escape out of trouble (Ps 124:7+8; 2.Peter 2:9). The context says we will see all these things (Mat 24:15+33).
The FIRST RESURRECTION is the first (proton) of two resurrections, the next is 1000 years later, not 1007 (Rev 20:4-6). The First fruits are the first of a harvest of 3 resurrections with a changed body, afterwards ALL believers in Christ, dead and alive at His parousia = advent, that is after the GT (Mat 24:29-31)and includes the Saints of the Tribulation. There is no resurrection nor a coming of Christ before the last 7 years! Not in the bible. Then comes the end, the last resurrection of the just and unjust after the Millennium. You make the First Resurrection to the second, the Greek word protos is always the first of the following ones, it does not go backwards. In Rev 20:4-6 it is the first of the believers in Christ, the First-fruits are OT saints.
4. Your problem with Mat 24:29-31 is you cannot see, that Jesus does not come to the earth and lands on the mount of Olives, He comes in the clouds and gathers His elect, which are NT believers (1.Peter 1:2}, not surviving Jews. The Jews and the nations come to Jerusalem in the Millennium (Jesus sits on the throne, to judge the nations) after His coming in the air. The gathering through the angels is the harvest (Mat 13:30:39+49), not the coming of the Jews to Jerusalem. The gathering of Mat 24:31 is the same as 2. Thess 2:1 unto Him, Who is in the air. The Jews are brought by Gentiles in earthly vessels (Isa 66:20; 14:2; 49:22), God makes a highway for them (Isa 11:15+16).

How does the marriage of the Lamb fit into a post-tribulation view? When does it take place?
In Revelation 19, the marriage of the Lamb precedes the return of Jesus to earth. If the whole church/ all the saints are part of the wedding, how can some of the saints still be hanging around on earth? Or will they just miss out on the wedding?
The marriage supper of the lamb coincides with the second appearance of the Christ to judge the living and the dead.
Please see the following article…
www.equip.org/articles/apocalypse-when/
@@BibleAnswerMan I did not find the word "marriage" anywhere in the article in the link you supplied. You will find the word "marriage" as well as the phrase "marriage supper of the Lamb" in Revelation chapter 19.
Revelation 19:14 _"And the armies WHICH WERE IN HEAVEN followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean."_
The return of Christ to rule the earth occurs as the wrath of God wraps up; that's the bowls, not the GT.
The marriage supper of the Lamb is when animals and birds feast on the corpses of the fallen whom Yeshua has slain. And that is in the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
@@awaitingthetrumpetcall4529 half a year and he calls himself bible answer man has no answer! This is one of the contradictions that post-tribbers can't scripturally reconcile. Those who insist on their post-trib stance will miss out on the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Two thousand five hundred years before Darby’s lived, Isaiah wrote of a pre-tribulation resurrection. A resurrection of joy and singing. A resurrection that was followed by an invitation to his people to:
“Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.”
The dead - and those raised to life - aren’t in need of shelter from the LORD’s wrath; but those who are alive and remain are. Regardless, there is zero doubt that there will be a resurrection of joy and singing that occurs BEFORE his wrath is poured out on the inhabitants of the earth.
Don’t let the blind lead you into a ditch.
Challenging pre-trib will cost you friends. Some folks cling to this like their very salvation.

*5 REASONS WHY YOU WILL GO TO HELL BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO:*
1)
*Because of your UNBELIEF.* The same sort of UNBELIEF IN GOD"S DELIVERING POWER that saw Israel not allowed into the Promised Land. That you your fate, as Hebrews 3-4 show, as it clearly shows you will be LEFT {OUT} OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN FOR THAT SAME {UNBELIEF} IN GOD'S DELIVERING POWER, which is His Rapture. You will share the same fate as Israel. But yours is worst. You will not be left out of a physical land, but spiriutal paradise.
.... and don't lie to yourself about being "Christian" or "believing in Jesus" or "covered under His blood." ISRAEL was the "seed of promised" and "believed in Yahweh" more than you, and were "covered under the blood of the Passover Lamb and the sacrifices." Didn't save them. Wont save you, Gentile!
2)
*Because Amos alrady condemns you," speaking a 'woe' against all who desire to see the Day of the Lord. No one escape a woe. No one.
3)
*Because you SIN AGINST GOD!* You would have been better off being a murder, or rapist, or homosexual. Those things are just 'sin,' but all who SIN {{AGAINST}} GOD will be blot out of His Book, as God clearly told Moses. That is the product of your UNBELIEF. You are offensive. You sin directly against God's very Character.
-calling Him weak
-calling Him unfaithful
-calling Him unjust
-accusing Him of being an abusive husband
-saying He will send DEMONS (locusts) upon His entire Church for 5 months!
-spitting on the testimony of Abraham
-spitting on the testimony of Job
-mocking His deliverance of Lot who was "snatched away"
-mocking the deliverance of Noah who was "lifted up"
JUST. LIKE. ISREAL!
Your unbelief is taking personally by Him, because it is OFFENSIVE to His Character and is SIN against Him!
4)
Because you evil hypocrites distort every Scripture you touch, especially Matthew 24 and I Thess 4 ... not even knowing that Matthew 24 is a TWO FOLD QUESTION with TWO answers
-Matthew 24v5-14: end time signs that the terminal generation Church looks for that lead up to the *RAPTURE*
-Matthew 24v15-31: all things Jewish, and Jesus clearly has shifted His attention from the Church to the Jews who will be left behind! events that lead up to the *SECOND COMING!*
Yeah ... you are that easily disproven. You distort many Scriptures, and as Peter say, to your own damnation!
5)
Becuase, assuming you are a Post-Tribber, the EVIL SERVANT at the end of Matthew 24 has all 4 characteristics of a Post Tribber ... and it ends with you in Hellfire. Jesus even rightfully uses the word "hypocrite" instead of "sinner" ... cause you ARE fake Christians. Sinners against God's very character. Distorters of His Word. UNBELIEVERS>

One day, messiah will arrive in Jerusalem. He will sit in the throne of David at the newly constructed temple.
He will establish world peace, beginning with a covenant between the Middle Eastern nations.
The chosen people of God will bow before him and Christians will follow suit.
While the world basks in the glory of Christ, a light will shine in the East.
The true Christ Jesus will return and the nations will mourn. They will cry for the rocks to fall on them, but death will flee from them.
Why?
Because when Jesus returns we will be all be changed “in the twinkling of an eye” into our spiritual bodies.
The only death then will be at the white throne judgement for those not found written in The Lamb’s Book of Life.
If you don’t think Satan can’t deceive you into thinking he is Jesus Christ and ruin your salvation, remember, he deceived a third of God’s own angels who stood before his very throne.
The Antichrist arrives in Jerusalem first. At the 6th seal, 6th trump and 6th vial.
That’s why the scripture says to “enumerate” the number of the man to know who he will be. “666”
Jesus Christ returns at the last/7th trump, AFTER Antichrist and his tribulation on mankind.

We were pretrib until we heard out loud why pretrib teachers determined that view. So many red flags begin to wave and fly off the pole. This caused us to dig in deep and research. Upon our result thus far we are neither pre nor mid according to our searching of the scriptures and historical research. We didn't quite fit fully in with the post-trib theory but recently found out a little more about the pre-wrath. For right now, pre-wrath is where we pretty much identify with what lines up to our research.
Pre wrath is most definitely the biblical view. I’m baffled how this video seemed to be completely debunking by pre trib by saying there is no tribulation at all. There will without a doubt be a final tribulation and the church is here for it. How he can think 70AD can fit anything in revelation is baffling. Jesus said everything in the psalms, prophets and law of Moses MUST be fulfilled. If that’s the case there HAS to be a 3rd temple and there has to be a milleniel reign. And how can he claim nobody repents on his arrival when Joel 2 says that many do and he relents. So many people don’t read the Old Testament.
@@kingsolomon3175 There simply is no such thing as pre-wrath in the Bible, only 'the wrath of God'. And this wrath of God came upon His Lamb on the cross.

Also there is NO rapture, although the word appears in the Bible. Matt 5:5
The book of Revelation was fulfilled at the cross of Jesus. 70 AD. Also it was written for the people of Israel only, not for us living after the cross.
Yes, Jesus did say everything written in the Psalms, prophets & law was appointed on Him, but that was brought into fulfilling at the cross.
'For the Christ is the END of the law. And because of Him, God HAS transferred His perfect righteousness to all who BELIEVE'. Rom 10:4
No, there simply is NO 3rd temple to be built any place on earth, as wé are His holy temple, His sanctuary, His dwelling place! Christ is living in and thru us. Col 1:26-27.. and from out thís holy temple He will soon manifest His final appearances as 1Thes 4:13-18 have it! (we symbolic are the clouds).
Repent on His arrival ?? Definitely no, as this is what we are looking to, His final appearances! What is there to repent of if Jesus already has dealt with the sin of the world with the promise never to think of that ever again??

that is not how to study the word. By looking back and only taking that as the fullness of the truth I am not saying you do that. i am saying. then we have missed it that turns it into doctrines of man or traditions of man. The Bible explains the bible . if we go back and see Galilean culture, it might explain the text . but if it does not line up with the God-breathed word of God or contradicts the word the word stands true , it has to line up with the word I think you would agree
Before the wrath, is worse than the already existing false gospel of the rapture. Everyone BUT the true truth seekers just want their ears tickled.
@@christym2121the producers of the movie used the scriptures, culture and customs to explain beautifully.
God is not going to force anyone to adhere to the doctrine of imminence, very often through scripture we are told time and time again "watch and wait," "watch and wait" it's very important. But if God planned for you to go through the tribulation why would he tell you to "watch and wait"? There would be nothing to watch and wait for, nothing you could do anyway, you would just arrive at the culmination point, where all things had run their course. There would be absolutely no need to "watch and wait." He would have said just hang on. He provides a way of escape. Watch and wait, he appears the second time only to those who are watching and waiting. Hebrews 9:28. He also says "pray you are worthy to escape." You can't be worthy of something you don't believe in. Proverbs 22:3 says the prudent man foresees evil and hides himself but the simple pass on and are punished.

According to Joel and Isaiah, the Day of the Lord happens AFTER the darkening of the sun, moon and stars. And according to Jesus, the darkening of the sun, moon and stars happens AFTER "the tribulation of those days." In other words, the order of events is this:
1) the tribulation of those days, THEN
2) the darkening of the sun, moon and stars, THEN
3) the Day of the Lord, which comes suddenly, without warning, and ends in the destruction of the wicked. (Prior to this time, unbelievers, who live in darkness, will be eating and drinking, and marrying and being given in marriage, just as in the days of Noah, unaware of the events which will soon come. Believers however are not in darkness that that day should overtake them. Jesus tells us in Luke's gospel, "WHEN you see these things, look up for your redemption draws near. ("These things" are signs in the sun, moon and stars, distress of nations, men's hearts failing for fear, the shaking of the powers of heavens). There is no such thing as an "imminent" rapture that can happen at any time. What the Bible teaches is ONE coming that will take unbelievers by surprise. They will not be looking for the signs and will be caught by surprise. When we are told to "watch," it is not talking about watching for a rapture. It means that we are to be on guard, to be diligent, lest we fall into temptation and deception. Dispensationalist love to twist the meaning of Scripture to suit their own agenda. (e.g. by conflating the terms "wrath" and "tribulation," changing the meaning of words such as "apostasy" and "watch."
Not only that but Paul tells us that "now is the time for judgment for the people of God, and even now"the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven." God's wrath and His judgements have been poured out from the beginning. God's judgments are for the purpose of repentance, but there will come a time when men no longer repent, and it is then that God will pour out His unmitigated wrath on the wicked.
So, no we are not appointed to wrath, but we are appointed to tribulation, even GREAT tribulation. The great tribulation is not "great" because of its intensity, but because of its extent. Persecution and martyrdom in the past has been intermittent and sporadic. In the future it will be continuous and worldwide. Even now we can see the rage building up, and soon it will be directed to God's people. But as Jesus says, though we be killed, not a hair on our heads will perish.

The wrath of God came on His Lamb some 2,000 yrs ago. IT IS FINISHED!
Revelation was written for the people of Israel, not for us living after the cross.
The message of reconciliation was given to us, not a message which confuse believers or put fear for the unknown in their hearts.
We who believe in the Son of God, we know without any doubt that the Father loves all of us and that no harm will ever be done unto us.
The best advice is to come away from the book of Revelation and Teachers on this book, as 100 teachers will all have their own understanding.
Read the love letters that the Spirit of God has written to us.. John, Ephesians, Colossians etc etc and pay good attention to yr quite time with the Lord Jesus. He is inside of us, do not look outside. For when we look away from Him, we will experience what Peter experienced when he took his eyes off Jesus. Matt 14:22-31
There are also people who don't think it matters whether or not you obey Jesus' Commandments.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV
1. I declare unto you the gospel (good news)
2. Wherein ye stand ( foundational doctrine)
3. By which ye are saved (not lost)
4. unless ye believed in vain ( there’s a way to falsely believe)
5. Christ died for our sins
6. was buried
7. rose again the third day
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,”- Ephesians 1:13 KJV

2. ye believed
3. ye were sealed
“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” Ephesians 4:30 KJV
1. ye are sealed
“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” John 11:25-26 KJV
1. he that believeth in me; though he were dead, yet shall he live

1.he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me
2. Hath everlasting life
3. Shall not come into condemnation
4. Is passed from death unto life
you’re not saved by what you do, you’re saved by what Christ has done for us, his sacrifice on the cross for the remission of sins so your sins are forgiven and his righteousness is imputed unto you
“And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” Philippians 3:9 KJV
“Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” Romans 3:22-26 KJV
do you truly believe in his words? Do you truly believe that he died for your sins to be forgiven? Do you truly believe you have passed from death unto life or will You believe what the world wants you to?

Jesus also said in Matt 5:5
What blessing comes to you when gentleness lives in you! For you will inherit the earth.
Why I believe the rapture and return are two seperate events. I've really studied this, comparing the pre and post tribulation position with just the word alone.
Could I humbly suggest, Compare Jesus Glorious return at the end of the apocalyptic seals, bowls, Trumpets, third of all life destroyed, wormwood, plagues, boils etc etc
with
Jesus saying "just as in the times of Noah and Lot" . Normal everyday life! Does that sound like the end of Armageddon? Clearly He is speaking of two events. There's no way these two, the rapture, as a" thief in the night" and His glorious return are the same.
People definitely won't be giving and taking in marriage and trading as normal on the day of His return. Boot fares and stag parties will be the LAST thing on thier minds. They'll be struggling to survive. Jesus said, "that time will be cut short for the elects sake or else no one would survive it." (The elect are the 144,000 Jews and thier converts saved through the tribulation which is called "Jacobs trouble")
The church is raptured as described in Thessalonians and Corinthians then the Antichrist is revealed who will sign THE agreement (not Trump's!) then 3 1/2 years in he will desecrate the new built temple which will bring in terrible trouble leading to Armageddon at the end of which is the Lords glorious return and sweeping away all evel forever. I hope this helps. I was doubtful too but decided to really study the scriptures. God bless.
The parousia of the Lord includes His "presence" and His physical return. In other words the scope of the word parousia (often rendered "coming") is wider than just His physical return to the earth.
I've been studying as well ibwas in agreement with this until I heard the 17 hour bible study from Andy Woods. Very good arguement just check it out :) also feel free to get back to me and let me know
@@stringerchick3650 I'll check this out indeed. I think it's essential to get it right or we're setting the church up for trouble. Believe me I want a pre rapture but I also am mindful of many who believe in mid or post rapture. Having done many hours study on this and considered the timing and the Greek words used in Thessalonians etc I am fairly sure of a pre rapture. As I read post trib arguments I find myself thinking, "yes but what about....?" Then I recheck what I've studied lol. I'm going through a lengthy post trib position that I've downloaded atm. So far what I've found is, the reasoning is plausible but when cross checking I find certain scriptures are ignored. You can't do that with the word of God. It has to be 'rightly divided'. Any way. I'll check it out. 17 hours?! Phew.
@@stringerchick3650 I've checked out Andy Woods and indeed he explains the biblically based reasons for pre trib very well indeed. I have now completed an examination of the post trib position as taught by Jeffrey A. Mott.
A quick perusal of this work appears to present a very powerful argument for a post tribulation rapture. I'm sure you can access this for yourself on the net.
However on deeper investigation I found that it is on very weak ground. I could list everything here but take to long. However I will deal with just a couple. Mott uses the 'type' of Egypt to show that 'believers' will have to go through the full tribulation as the children of Israel did before Moses (The Lord) finally led them out in a kind of 'rapture' before the Egyptians were judged in the Red sea.
This, at first seems powerful but (comparing scripture with scripture and) by rightly dividing the word of God this is revealed as completely wrong.
Jesus Himself gave us two 'types' as examples: The days of Noah and The days of Sodom and Gomorrah where the believers were clearly absolutely removed before judgement, before tribulatuon. So I'm wondering why Mott used a type that Jesus did not?
I also noticed that Mott ignores scriptures that indicate the tribulatuon is something specifically designated to the Jews. Jeremiah 30 clearly states this is the time of JACOBS trouble.
As I said, there is much more. Indeed, every single point he proposes fails to rightly divide the word of God on the matter.
So, my conclusion from my own studies and diligently studying the post trib position I am thoroughly convinced the rapture will no be at any time, and definitely BEFORE the tribulation.
Yet another deceived prophet of the pre-trib fib.
Armageddon is at the last day.

He's RIGHT. The Pretribulation rapture THEORY DOCTRINE is a WICKED false doctrine from the JESUITS.
@@DiscernmentNow Say it a dozen ways in all caps, but it does not change the truth of God's Word.
Scripture proves your opinions are misleading lies.
@@uview1 1 Thess. 4 tells us, the "caught up together", or Rapture, will happen nearly at the same time as the Resurrection. Jesus said in John 6 (4 times), that the Resurrection of the dead will happen on the Last Day, Therefore, the Rapture and the Resurrection are both on the Last Day.
*5 REASONS WHY HE WILL GO TO HELL BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO:*
1)
*Because of your UNBELIEF.* The same sort of UNBELIEF IN GOD"S DELIVERING POWER that saw Israel not allowed into the Promised Land. That you your fate, as Hebrews 3-4 show, as it clearly shows you will be LEFT {OUT} OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN FOR THAT SAME {UNBELIEF} IN GOD'S DELIVERING POWER, which is His Rapture. You will share the same fate as Israel. But yours is worst. You will not be left out of a physical land, but spiriutal paradise.
.... and don't lie to yourself about being "Christian" or "believing in Jesus" or "covered under His blood." ISRAEL was the "seed of promised" and "believed in Yahweh" more than you, and were "covered under the blood of the Passover Lamb and the sacrifices." Didn't save them. Wont save you, Gentile!
2)
*Because Amos alrady condemns you," speaking a 'woe' against all who desire to see the Day of the Lord. No one escape a woe. No one.
3)
*Because you SIN AGINST GOD!* You would have been better off being a murder, or rapist, or homosexual. Those things are just 'sin,' but all who SIN {{AGAINST}} GOD will be blot out of His Book, as God clearly told Moses. That is the product of your UNBELIEF. You are offensive. You sin directly against God's very Character.
-calling Him weak
-calling Him unfaithful
-calling Him unjust
-accusing Him of being an abusive husband
-saying He will send DEMONS (locusts) upon His entire Church for 5 months!
-spitting on the testimony of Abraham
-spitting on the testimony of Job
-mocking His deliverance of Lot who was "snatched away"
-mocking the deliverance of Noah who was "lifted up"
JUST. LIKE. ISREAL!
Your unbelief is taking personally by Him, because it is OFFENSIVE to His Character and is SIN against Him!
4)
Because you evil hypocrites distort every Scripture you touch, especially Matthew 24 and I Thess 4 ... not even knowing that Matthew 24 is a TWO FOLD QUESTION with TWO answers
-Matthew 24v5-14: end time signs that the terminal generation Church looks for that lead up to the *RAPTURE*
-Matthew 24v15-31: all things Jewish, and Jesus clearly has shifted His attention from the Church to the Jews who will be left behind! events that lead up to the *SECOND COMING!*
Yeah ... you are that easily disproven. You distort many Scriptures, and as Peter say, to your own damnation!
5)
Becuase, assuming you are a Post-Tribber, the EVIL SERVANT at the end of Matthew 24 has all 4 characteristics of a Post Tribber ... and it ends with you in Hellfire. Jesus even rightfully uses the word "hypocrite" instead of "sinner" ... cause you ARE fake Christians. Sinners against God's very character. Distorters of His Word. UNBELIEVERS>
And what is the polar opposite of FAITH? *UNBELIEF!*
5 reasons why you are doomed.
Now, you wanna go 5 more reasons!?
What matters the most for born-again Christians, is that we need to be spreading the word of Christ Jesus which are the gospels. When we focus on the “rapture “, we are not focusing on building Christ Jesus’ Church, we focus on puffing our sinful flesh, and divide Christ’s Church instead. This is not meant to be for Gods Heavenly Children.
Remember John 14:18 [18] “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
Revelation 22:20-21
[20] He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! [21] The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
The left behind series(movie) has it backwards. Those left behind are the righteous. Those taken(raptured) are taken for judgement.Matthew 24:36-44 and Luke17:26-37. Darby was a priest that was disgruntled. He wrongly coined what rapture meant....judgement.
Hi Hank, I have been listening lately to your ministry on certain subjects and I have to say I have/am being blessed, I was once a Universal Reconciliationist and Hyper-Dispensationalist until I had my eyes open, appreciate you greatly brother, thank you.
You sound to be one who's very "woke!"
@@michaelodonnell336 WUT!
Totally agree.
Christ showed me when I was 16 years old the end times and tribulation. I saw pastors cursing God's name, being attacked/blamed by their congregation for preaching pre-trib rapture. Bro Sadhu Sundar also said he used to preach pre-trib rapture but Jesus lead him to verses and corrected him. Also check out FAI's 4 reasons we don't believe in pre-trib rapture.
I do not believe in pre-tribulation rapture and it's never mentioned in the Bible. We’re told that we will be persecuted and we must stand firm unto death in out believe in Christ and to overcome the devil so that we can receive the crown of life. We’re told not to accept the mark of the beast or worship him so why would we have to refuse if we’re raptured before that happens? The Bible also says that Christ won't return until the "Falling Away" happens first and Jesus asks, "will I really find faith on the earth in those days?" So if the falling away happens and there's no faith, who will be left to suddenly be raptured? Christ also said the dead in Christ would be raised first and then the living in Christ would be raised. If you read the Bible and note down the chain of events, you'll see that the rapture of the dead and then the living doesn't happen until well into the Tribulation and after true Christians suffer through persecution, deny satan's mark of the beast and be put in jail from refusing satan. What Christians will keep their faith if they lose everything and are put in jail?
When tribulation truly comes and God's wrath begins to pour out, there will be major nation wide disasters such as CA earthquake and World War III will break out. This will cause the current Christians that didn't get raptured before tribulation to blame God and attack their pastors for lying to them about being raptured before suffering and they’ll all curse God’s name. This is the great falling away.
If you read Revelation and get a notepad to note down the chain of events, you'll see when the rapture actually happens.
Show me one verse using the Bible where it states that believers in Christ will be raptured before Tribulation. Even God's people had to trust God and be delivered out of pharaoh's hands while God destroyed him.
Even the two witnesses will be killed in the street before we're raptured and they'll be resurrected to life after three and a half days causing great fear upon those that see it.
Here's proof that there's no rapture until after the Falling Away and the Antichrist claims to be God and causes all to receive his mark:
2 Thessalonians 2
2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Proof that there won't be any faith in the earth by then: "I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?" - Luke 18:8
Proof that we will go through Tribulation and be persecuted for believing in Christ:
Matthew 10:17
"But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues;"
Matthew 24:9
“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
Luke 21:12
“But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake."
John 15:20
"Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also."
John 16:2
"They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God."
2 Timothy 3:12
"Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted."
Revelation 2:10
"Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life."
Revelation 3:5
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore, comfort one another with these words.
Your "proof texts" totally scramble passages as you apply them incorrectly.
You use Mat 10:17... in Mat 10 Jesus instructs His disciples to NOT GO into the way of the Gentiles but to go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And of course, in the passage people have to "endure to the end to be saved." But you would have people believe the church is being discussed. No, as Jesus said, it's the lost sheep of the house of ISRAEL Who will be witnesses to ISRAEL during the great tribulation? The 144,000 JEWS from the 12 tribes of Israel witnessing to other Jews. The tribulation witnesses are comprised of 144,000 male Jewish virgins, NOT the church.
You mention Rev 2:10 where the Christians have to deal with tribulation for TEN DAYS. That isn't the great tribulation. You mention other Rev verses - but they are all PRIOR to the beginning of the great tribulation - they have nothing to do with it. In John 4 John is caught up to the third heaven - picturing the rapture of the church - and during the great tribulation in Revelation the church isn't even mentioned. The church is mentioned again in Rev 19 AFTER the great tribulation is over.
You mention John 16:2. Christians don't go to synagogues, JEWS go to synagogues. Christians attend local CHURCHES.
You use Mat 24 - and here we see again the requirement to endure to the end to be saved - it's not about the church.
And in many cases, you cite verses that mention persecution - as if the term was synonymous with the time of great tribulation, which is the time of Jacob's trouble. Persecution =/= great tribulation. Christians have been persecuted since day one and they will continue to be persecuted. This ongoing persecution of individual Christians throughout the centuries has absolutely nothing to do with God pouring out wrath on Israel during the time of Jacob's trouble.

So I stay home and study the Bible myself after praying for wisdom and discernment and I shall continue to do so, because it helps me stay close to Yeshua and keeps me from getting confused.

For a believer who has not done his own search of the truth from the Word of God, it is easy to believe in everything this man argues against pre- tribulation rapture.
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Matthew 24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Unbiblical? That’s the Bible isn’t?
It will be done as your faith said Jesus. You will find it less funny when the rapture will happen and you will be left behind….
@alexandre9328 Read carefully the verses you shared. None of them explicitly tell us about a pretribulation rapture, i.e., the idea that God is going to remove the Church from the Earth before the start of a future seven-year Great Tribulation that ends with Jesus' Second Coming and the start of the Millennium.
@@BibleAnswerMan "1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night."
The trumpets of 1 Thessaloniciens 4.16-17 and 1 Corinthians 15.51-52 will be heard only by true Christian believer. They’ll meet the Lord in the air because in their glorified body, they will fly. This appearance won’t be public, the whole humanity won’t be there in the air to see it. The public appearance is at the end of the tribulation at the Armageddon war in Israel.
Wow, this is new to me 😮. Definitely something I need look into! One thing that I’m confused about is that he kept mentioning that the belief in the rapture is that “Jews” will be left behind, but that is not correct. The belief is that ANYONE who hasn’t accepted Christ as Savior would be left behind...atheist, agnostic, new age believers, etc. Looks like it’s time for me to rethink it all and do some more research!
Yep, do some digging. I am not pretrib, but they do ask some interesting questions have gotten me to think about things, so I will give them that credit.
Hi Karin, Revelation is written to church not modern Israel, and is this last time we are until Christ returns again in One phase, Visible to all on earth Second Coming. There will be no second chance for Jews or Gentiles who don't receive Him in this urgent time. Much need for sincere evangelism by Word and Spirit.

*Because of your UNBELIEF.* The same sort of UNBELIEF IN GOD"S DELIVERING POWER that saw Israel not allowed into the Promised Land. That you your fate, as Hebrews 3-4 show, as it clearly shows you will be LEFT {OUT} OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN FOR THAT SAME {UNBELIEF} IN GOD'S DELIVERING POWER, which is His Rapture. You will share the same fate as Israel. But yours is worst. You will not be left out of a physical land, but spiriutal paradise.
.... and don't lie to yourself about being "Christian" or "believing in Jesus" or "covered under His blood." ISRAEL was the "seed of promised" and "believed in Yahweh" more than you, and were "covered under the blood of the Passover Lamb and the sacrifices." Didn't save them. Wont save you, Gentile!
2)
*Because Amos alrady condemns you," speaking a 'woe' against all who desire to see the Day of the Lord. No one escape a woe. No one.
3)
*Because you SIN AGINST GOD!* You would have been better off being a murder, or rapist, or homosexual. Those things are just 'sin,' but all who SIN {{AGAINST}} GOD will be blot out of His Book, as God clearly told Moses. That is the product of your UNBELIEF. You are offensive. You sin directly against God's very Character.
-calling Him weak
-calling Him unfaithful
-calling Him unjust
-accusing Him of being an abusive husband
-saying He will send DEMONS (locusts) upon His entire Church for 5 months!
-spitting on the testimony of Abraham
-spitting on the testimony of Job
-mocking His deliverance of Lot who was "snatched away"
-mocking the deliverance of Noah who was "lifted up"
JUST. LIKE. ISREAL!
Your unbelief is taking personally by Him, because it is OFFENSIVE to His Character and is SIN against Him!
4)
Because you evil hypocrites distort every Scripture you touch, especially Matthew 24 and I Thess 4 ... not even knowing that Matthew 24 is a TWO FOLD QUESTION with TWO answers
-Matthew 24v5-14: end time signs that the terminal generation Church looks for that lead up to the *RAPTURE*
-Matthew 24v15-31: all things Jewish, and Jesus clearly has shifted His attention from the Church to the Jews who will be left behind! events that lead up to the *SECOND COMING!*
Yeah ... you are that easily disproven. You distort many Scriptures, and as Peter say, to your own damnation!
5)
Becuase, assuming you are a Post-Tribber, the EVIL SERVANT at the end of Matthew 24 has all 4 characteristics of a Post Tribber ... and it ends with you in Hellfire. Jesus even rightfully uses the word "hypocrite" instead of "sinner" ... cause you ARE fake Christians. Sinners against God's very character. Distorters of His Word. UNBELIEVERS>
And what is the polar opposite of FAITH? *UNBELIEF!*
5 reasons why you are doomed.
Now, you wanna go 5 more reasons!? Or do you want 5 reasons why there IS a Pre-Tribulation Rapture (I won't even include Matthew 24, cause I just explained it by refuting the ignorance about it)?
Go watch Amir Tsfarti. Also great Rapture teaching on Prophecy Watchers, Olive Tree Ministries and Jack Hibbs. Also Andy Woods. The Rapture is true.
Part 1 - I will have to post this in two posts due to length. I apologize for that, but if we want to seek truth, we must be thorough in reconciling all of God's Word.
“In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is the one thing you cannot get by looking for it. If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth-only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and, in the end, despair.” C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
Truth = facts.
The rapture is right where Paul, as a prophet, said it would be. He painted a neon sign and said, “Here it is,” and yet we still miss it. It is at the last trumpet, the seventh trumpet, right where he said it would be. For truth, let’s look at the facts.
1) The seven year period of time is never referred to in Scripture as “the tribulation.” Never. That is an appellation that has been applied by pre-tribbers to equate tribulation with God’s wrath. The Bible refers to it in the Book of Daniel as the 70th week out of 70 weeks. (A week being a seven year period). The only use of the word tribulation to this time is when Christ referred to a period of time during the second half of the 70th week, beginning with the abomination of desolation as the great tribulation. And He also says that this time of great tribulation will be cut short. How is the great tribulation cut short? The wholesale killing of those who will not take the mark will stop before the 1260 days are over, so that some of the elect will remain alive. The reign of the antichrist will continue, however. It will be shown what causes this stopping of killing. As will be seen, this allows for the trumpets to occur during the rest of that time.
2) Tribulation and wrath are not synonymous. Tribulation is the word “thlipsis” and means persecution. We ARE appointed to tribulation. John 16:33, Acts 14:22. The House of God (Christians) must undergo a fiery trial before the appearance of Christ. 1 Peter 4:12-13,17 “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the FIERY TRIAL (“peirasmon” a putting to the proof) which is to TRY YOU (put you to the proof) as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, WHEN HIS GLORY SHALL BE REVEALED, (at the Second Coming) ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. For the time is come that JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD: and if it FIRST BEGIN AT US, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” God punished and tried Israel for their apostasy. He will also do so to the apostate church. (2Thess. 2:3 there will be a falling away [“apostasia”] from God’s truth) and Dan. 11:35 (purging). God will not persecute His enemies, He will simply destroy them, but His enemies have and always will persecute God’s children. Wrath on the other hand are the words “orge” or “thumos” and mean violent passion or an outburst of passionate wrath. We are not appointed to God’s wrath, but we are to expect Satan’s persecution. God tells us that the saints (in the New Testament, Christians are the saints) will be given over to the beast. Dan. 7:25, Rev. 13:7. Non Christians are not dying during the great trib. They have taken the mark and are fine. This is not God's wrath. The 5th seal is not God’s wrath, for the only ones dying are Christians and the martyrs ask God when He will begin to pour out His vengeance or wrath. He replies that they must wait first for the rest of the Christians who must be martyred as they were. The people on the sea of glass that come out of the great tribulation are those martyrs. Rev. 7:14. It is the worst holocaust in the history of the world. Dan. 12:1. They are the overcomers, those who obey God’s commandments and have the testimony of Jesus, who did not love their lives unto death, that Satan goes after. Rev. 12:11,17. Six out of the seven churches in Revelation are not promised protection. They are told to be overcomers. Only a remnant of the church of Philadephians who have kept the word of God's patience qualify to be protected and eventually raptured. They are kept from the "temptation" which means to be “put to the proof”. God is putting us to the proof by giving us a time of testing for the sake of purging the apostate church. Dan. 11:35.
3) The Day of the Lord is another name for God’s wrath. Joel and Acts tell us that there is a very specific sign that will occur BEFORE the Day of the Lord, or God’s wrath can begin, to warn us it is coming. “And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE that great and notable day of the Lord come.” These very unique signs (both the sun and moon go dark - moon turns red) occur at the same time. This describes a double eclipse which can only occur due to an outside celestial body that has come between the sun and the moon and earth, creating eclipses of both the sun and the moon simultaneously. This sign is said to occur BEFORE the Day of the Lord. It is an omen of the coming wrath of God. How far in advance it comes is not stated in Scripture.
4) This particular sign of the double eclipse is seen in Seal 6 of Revelation. In fact at that time, people recognize and shout for fear that the Day of the Lord is coming, because these signs herald its approach. This is not a statement from heaven that the Day of the Lord has begun, because Christ’s coming initiates the Day of the Lord, and He does not return until the end of the 70th week. It is a warning, though, that God’s wrath is definitely on its way. So God’s wrath does not include the seals.
5) In Matthew 24:29, Christ puts these same celestial signs after the great tribulation is cut short, putting God’s wrath after the great tribulation is over. Hence God’s wrath does not begin until after the great tribulation.
6) We are not appointed to wrath. 1 Thess. 5:9. As God’s wrath cannot begin until after these celestial signs, there is no reason to remove Christians before God’s wrath begins, for we are not exempt from persecution and martyrdom. Therefore we will be here through the great tribulation. Well, those who are alive and remain will be. The rest will be killed.
7) Paul gave the exact sequence of events in 2 Thess. 2:1-4. “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, (2nd Coming) AND (meaning they are together and in order) by OUR GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO HIM, (resurrection/rapture). [note the chronological order] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ (also known as the Day of the Lord, but from a Christian’s point of view instead of the wicked’s point of view) is at hand. [This couples all three events together as happening at the same time. Christ’s Second Coming, the rapture followed by the Day of the Lord]. LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU (pre-tribbers have allowed themselves to be deceived even with this warning and the laying out of the chronology) by any means: for that day (What day? The Day of the Lord wherein Christ returns and resurrects/raptures the saints) shall not come, EXCEPT there come a falling away (apostasia - Gr. Meaning departure from the truth, not departure from a location) FIRST, (before any of the other stuff can happen) and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, (this is the abomination of desolation) shewing himself that he is God.” These verses were telling them that the Day of the Lord wherein Christ returns and raptures them could not be yet, for before that happens, there must be an apostasy in the Church and the antichrist declare himself to be God. This is clear and straightforward. Why do people distort it?
8) Christ must remain in heaven at the right hand of God until His foes are made His footstool. Acts 2:34-35. As long as Satan and the beast reign, His foes are not His footstool. They have 42 months from the abomination. Rev. 13:5.
9) Christ must remain in heaven until the restitution of all things (including the kingdoms of God being given to Christ). Acts. 3:21. As long as Satan is the prince and power of this world, there is no restitution. Satan has until the end of Daniel's 70th week. Christ cannot return until then.
10) Christ destroys the antichrist with the brightness of His coming. Thess. 2:8. That is His Second Coming at the end of the forty-two months. If Christ’s appearance destroys the reign of the antichrist, and the kingdoms of the world are restored to Christ’s control, it can only happen after the antichrist’s reign of 42 months, not before. Christ cannot return until the end of Daniel's 70th week. He cannot return before then, for His coming destroys the beast.
We are not children of wrath.
The wrath Paul talks about is not the Bowls. He may not have even known about those. No. He is talking in context about the wrath poured out on the wicked, who experience the Day of the Lord as a thief (see the context of 1 Thess. 5:1-3). They receive sudden destruction at the coming of Christ. See also 2 Thess. 1:6-8, which says the church receives rest from persecutions when Jesus comes and pours out wrath on the wicked.
That' true, The wrath in view is the wrath in hell not on earth.
There is a tribulation orchestrated by Satan thru the antichrist and then the wrath of God to avenge those who were killed or persecuted during the tribulation and other periods in life
I appreciate the interesting counter arguments but I’m still convinced that the pre tribulational rapture is the most biblical stance
Rev 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Rev 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
Those are the pre-trib rapture verses, which if you look at it in its context the only one who goes up is John and he does that in the Spirit, his body is still on the Isle of Patmos.
The Book of Rev comes with two very stern warnings.
Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
By saying that Rev 4:1-2 is the rapture of the church when it does not say any such thing, places those who make that claim under the penalty of Rev 22:18-19
The jw's do the same thing with the Book of Revelation, they claim their top people are the 144,000 and by doing so also place themselves under those two penalties.
And there are those who will stubbornly defend Rev 4:1-2 as the rapture,
1Sa 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Psa 78:8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
The cultists will defend their cults, the Mormons, the sda's, and the jw's all defending their dogmas, that is the power of a leader in a church when the people have no reason to think anything is amiss and they drink the false gospel kool-aid as if it was the gospel truth.
that is why we are to do our own due diligence!!!
Act 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
1Co 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
1Co 11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
2Co 13:6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
Php 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
1Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
2Ti 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
2Ti 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
2Pe 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
We have the availability of the Holy Ghost to guide us into ALL TRUTH, and being guided into all truth so that anything we hold that is not of the truth will be exposed by the Truth that the Holy Ghost will guide us into.
Truth
Act 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Joh 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.
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
You on the right track continue walking in faith
With all due resect, the title of this video is: "5 Reasons the Pre-Tribulational Theory is Unbiblical." But reason number four says: "4. No Biblical reason for second chance of salvation after the second coming." Aren't these two points separate arguments? I am serious. Then Mr Hanegraff does not give too much credence to the 7th week of Daniel.
Hank is alluding to one of the logical implications and difficulties with premillennialism (whether the dispensational or historic varieties). Namely, after the Lord’s Second Coming during the millennium both resurrected saints (those raised at the beginning of the millennium) will live alongside children born in the millennium, presumably non-resurrected people both sinners and saints. Plus many of them will stand with Satan, after the releasing, and wage a revolution against the throne of Jesus Christ. Moreover, premillennialism implies the millennial saints will have a chance for salvation after Jesus returns and after Satan’s rebelling ending the millennium.
Hank addresses the 70 weeks of Daniel in this article… www.equip.org/article/daniel-prophesy-seven-year-great-tribulation/
Rapture explained in 10 minutes at The Lord's Day Ministry.
I've watched several of this guys videos and answers. I did that in spite of the opening slogan that plays in his videos, which reads, "Truth Matters, Life Matters More". After listening to him with an open mind, I've come to the conclusion that I should have listened to my gut when that phrase first appeared ("Truth Matters, Life Matters More"). First of all, The Truth is a name for Jesus. Nothing matters more than the Truth. In fact, we are rewarded for holding onto the truth even if it means we lose our life. He may be well-meaning, but after hearing many of his replies, some of which border on being anti-biblical, I've come to the conclusion this man does not have the Holy Spirit guiding him. And on a personal level, as someone who owns a business which produces media that reconciles events in the world with events described in the Bible, I couldn't imagine introducing that work with a slogan that defies the most basic, core message of the entire book. It's good to hear differing opinions, along with reading yourself, praying and letting the Holy Spirit guide you toward the Truth, but in this case, since the Prepared Believers are waiting for him at ANY moment, and God uses the metaphor of a Hebrew wedding with Devout Believers as The Bride of Christ, ask yourself, What kind of husband would let his Bride suffer horribly just before marrying her? Remember, half the virgins missed the wedding feast because they weren't ready with their lampstand oil. The other half attended the marriage supper. It stands to reason that that some Christians who are TOTALLY ready for His return will be raptured out, and lukewarm ones will miss that opportunity, but still be able to enjoy the marriage (heaven). I (personally) don't believe the unprepared virgins (lukewarm Christians) are cast to hell. I simply believe they missed the "first bus" so to speak. Lastly, anyone that speaks of this particular topic with rigid certainty, unsettles me, because many passages discussing this event conflict with each other, which implies there is more than one rapture. I believe Some will make it on the "first bus." And those who aren't expecting Him at any moment will still have a chance to go, but, at a later point, which could be the argument for a Mid-trib rapture and/or the very last wave who were saved DURING the GREAT Tribulation (last 3.5 years) and refused to take the Mark of the Beast. In other words, consider the possibility there are 2-3 raptures, not one. When you look at the full weight of the text in this way, the conflicts between "Pre, Mid & Post-trib" raptures fade away, and instead become harmonious. With that said, I'm rooting to be on the first bus outta here, whenever that is!
Here's the first resurrection:
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
At the harvest:
Matt 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into My barn.
Hey! I don’t know you but, I love everything you wrote and would really love to discuss this with you. Personally, I have not yet seen one mid trib or post trib argument that makes sense. To me, any other timeline would deny the imminency of the rapture. If it’s post there’s no point at all. We go up just to come back down and rule for 1,000 years, that’s silly. If it’s mid then we can literally calculate it, WE WILL ALL BE READY there’d be no surprise . Thus making the parable of the virgins useless .
Something that’s been on my mind lately , is will Luke warm , sleeping Christians OR the ones who are so desperate to prove their bravado with a midtrib rapture, would they be left behind ? It would honestly seem fair to me because most midtrib I’ve encountered are so sure they’re right and rude about it (not very Christ like or loving ).
So I wonder if they would be left behind or just taken and left to look silly as they spring through the clouds . I’d love to hear your thoughts / scriptural evidence for “multiple raptures”
Uhm, Truth is a name for Jesus, but so is LIFE. Remember, WAY, TRUTH, LIFE. You don't have the wisdom or knowledge to judge whether this man has the Holy Spirit guiding him. It's funny that Dispensationalists and Pretribbers believe that Jesus is the Bride of the Church and the Father is the Bride of Israel. What kind of Husband would let his bride suffer horribly just before marrying her? The Father, obviously, according to PreTribbers. And the Bible teaches one rapture/resurrection at the last day. There is only one bus.
AMEN ! BROTHER ! GOD BLESS ! TRUTH !
@@HeyitsJade i wondered about that too. But if God would grant it to them according to their faith, then they miss the bus. Plus we agree that intimacy with Christ is important. What kind of relationship do they have with Jesus if they reject His words in Luke 21:36, Rev. 3:10, Matthew 16:18 and John 14:3?
No truth in the man if he claims the early Church didn't preach, write and believe in the Doctrine of Eminence aka pre-trib Rapture.
Genesis to Revelation HE has two separate plans being the "Time of the Gentiles be fulfilled; Lk. 21:24 then the 70th week of Daniel be consummated; Dan. 9:24-27.
Pre-Trib verses:
Isa. 19:19-21
Jn. 14:1-3
1st Thess. 4:14-18, 5:9
2nd Thess. 2:1-7
Rev. 2:22, 3:10, 6:11, 12:5, 12:7-12
Dan. 9:27
Jude 14
Zech. 14:15
Mat. 24:36-43, 25:1-13
1st Cor. 15:51-53
I believe in a Mid-Trib pre-Wrath first resurrection and rapture of the Church at the last Trumpet. I disagree with Hank's use of the scripture quoted in the first reason. In John 5:28-29 teach physical resurrection, NOT about the timing of resurrection. Other scriptures clearly teach the separate resurrection for the righteous (1 Cor 15:22;1 Thess 4:14-18) and the unrighteous (Rev20:4-6,11-14).
I also disagree with Hank's second reason which casts the tribulation/ desolation completely in a historical context of the Maccabees and AD70's.
The 5 reasons quoted were poorly researched as a whole.
"As in the days of Noah"
meaning like Noah we will be taken out of tribulation.
Matthew 24:37 - But as the days of Noe (Noah) were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38 - For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 - And knew not until the flood came, and took (WHO?) them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (the WICKED WERE TAKEN)
Mat 24:40 - Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:41 - Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:42 - Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
The WICKED were TAKEN and Noah was LEFT BEHIND at the end of the flood.
Luke 17:26 - And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. The WICKED were TAKEN in the flood and Noah was LEFT BEHIND after the flood was over.
as in the Days of Noah is more for the sudden total destruction happening., that they knew not until it happened. It is a good example to see Noah as a type of Israel a preserved remnant in the Great Tribulation Where they were protected thru the Great tribulation The Church is raptured removed from the entire time of the Tribulation and wrath. We believers see none of the Great Tribulation.
@@artcarlson3581 the antichrists are not Israel, nor Judah
1 John 2:22 - Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (ALL Jews deny Jesus and that makes them antichrist, if they believed in Jesus then they would be CHRISTIANS. IF you do not believe me call any Synagogue and ask them if Jesus is the Messiah.)
1 John 2:23 - Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
If Jews do not accept Jesus as messiah, then who is their messiah? SATAN?
1 Corinthians 16:22 - If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema (CURSED) Maranatha.
DO JEWS LOVE JESUS OR ARE THEY CURSED?
One man, Enoch, was translated for he did not see death before the great flood.
8 souls were saved by water during the great flood.
So likewise shall be in the generation of the day of the Lord.
There will be more souls converted during the great tribulation than those who are delivered before it, as in that blessed hope.
Noah was not taken out he and his family was perfected here on Earth
Hank Hanegraaff's Apocalypse Code is one of several volumes that completely obliterated my Scofieldian pretrib theory in 2009 or thereabouts. That book would introduce me to the writings of David Chilton, Gary Demar, Gentry and other nondispensational writers. Thank you Mr. Hanegraaff
I was just reading the church part of rev and the passage they say is the rapture is to Philadelphia which is before Laodicea, so in some sense, these guys have missed their own rapture....Jesus says we won't enter heaven without our new resurrected bodies as far as I can tell, so the living won't precede the dead, so therefore the rapture is a component of the Day of the Lord for those believers who are still alive. Makes sense this way and fits the simple clear reading of the text. The twinkling of an eye verse is about that change in the body, not the rapture per say. Basically, these guys are teaching a pre-resurrection before the Day of the Lord. You don't sneak into Heaven and flesh and blood do not enter Heaven. Jesus was flesh and bone, so different with his new first fruits body I think.
@@bronzemv4440 great point amongst many great pionts demolishing such nonsense
Hank is a prderist. It takes very little time to rip that view to pieces.
Kevin Evans, the Bible obliterates the erroneous theory of the Church going through the tribulation period.
In relation to the coming great tribulation period, both Jesus and Paul said we won't go through it.
Do not believe Hank, or any others erroneous end time teacher who doesn't believe the pre-tribulation rapture.
@@alanhales239 You can just say that Alan as if you are the ultimate authority. But where does the Bible say what you are saying?
Are we supposed to just believe you cause you said it?
glad I am not a Margret Macdonaldist anymore, the Truth is important! Thanks for teaching truth !

Please Explain thesolanians through 4 if there are no mention of the rapture
@Raptor-bt6zp Hank explains 1 Thessalonians 4 in this article www.equip.org/articles/left-behind-from-root-to-ripened-fruit/
Hank unfortunately you have left a lot of holes in your explanation of debunking the Pre-Trib rapture theory. You need to go into more depth in your video’s instead of peddling your books for profit. It’s sad to see Christian leaders are more worried about selling there books than getting the Word out.

Still believe in pretrib?

Hank is wrong. I will always trust God over man. We, the church the body of Christ WILL BE “raptured” taken up BEFORE the wrath to come.
1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 kjv
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 ¶ For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
When one RIGHTLY DIVIDES the Bible (kjv) is clear to understand. It’s marvelous actually. All the pieces fit together ❤️❤️
The pre--tribulation rapture belief that you do not believe in is not the pre-tribulational rapture that some of us believe in.
Hank's objections are much aimed at a strawman. Ie. the "Left Behind" series of pop theology.
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, modern Dispensational Theology falls apart, and the pretrib removal of the Church falls with it.
Jacques Wilmore And which of the Church Fathers held this view, 0. So, Christians for 1800 years missed it, this theological construct, in the Greek, the Latin, the Syriac? Isn’t it more important to be ready for when Christ returns, and to focus on practical Christian ministries unto the least of these, then to dwell on the How he returns.
@@matthewvanmatre5137 What is "this view" to which you refer ? Partial rapture ? If that is the question, isn't it the word of God which should decide what we should believe above creeds or checklist of "Church Fathers"? They had varying degrees and shifting degrees of understanding, for which I don't think they should be blamed for some deficiency at times. So Scripture rules my belief over and above the statistics of Church Fathers' insights (which though are not to be despised). Lastly, OF COURSE our Christian daily living is the best preparation. No debate there. However His coming and our living are inextricably linked together. "Expecting AND HASTENING the coming of the Lord "(2 Pet. 3:12).
Jacques Wilmore And that is my point, in that you think you see something in the text that suggests any type of rapture but somehow the greatest minds of Christendom missed it. I’m just of the thought that their understanding of Greek, Hebrew, and Syriac Scriptures is far superior to yours.
@@matthewvanmatre5137 An expert on writings of church fathers I am not. However, Jesus Himself did not "miss" a catching away of watching, vigilant, disciples at His parousia. Ie . "Remember Lot's wife. Whoever seeks to preserve his soul-life will loss it, and whoever losses it will preserve it alive. I tell you, in that night there will be two on one bed; the one will be taken and the other will be left. There will be two women grinding together; one will be taken but the other will be left. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left." (See Luke 17:32-38)
Apparently, Jesus as recorded by Luke did not "miss" the teaching. See also Matthew 24:37-44. He expects wise disciples will live and walk moment by moment as if His sudden arrival unexpectedly will reward their vigilance. Am I right?
"
No matter what kind of tribulation we have just be saved and ready,no need to be splitting hairs on the subject.
As a father shows compassion to his children, that's how our heavenly Father shows compassion to His children too. God is the Father of the second chance, & He's coming to save us. That's the rule of even diplomacy - before a war breaks out,the ambassadors are called home. So too, we're the ambassadors of Christ, & if you wish to stay here on earth during the 7-yrs of Tribulation, that's fine. But personally, I'm waiting & watching expectantly for the day when the Lord shall descend on the clouds with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,& with the trump of God. And I'll be caught up in the air with Him so that where He is, there I'll be also. O, comfort one another with such words😎. That's our blessed hope,,, 🤗
The picture you paint is nice, but it contradicts the teaching of Jesus Christ in John 17:15. Moreover, it is myopic and blind to the reality that outside the USA and the West myriads of our brothers and sisters in the Lord live as persecuted minorities.

Thank you Hank for this video. The more I study and pray while studying, the more I am troubled by the pre-trib theory.
Hazte católico y no tendrás ningún problema. Doctrina bi-milenaria de todos los padres de la iglesia, sus apóstoles y obispos. Qué más quieres.
Without rightly dividing the word as GOD commands to do in II Tim 2:15 we will not understand God's word properly. As proven by this video. As far as us going through the tribulation, we the body of Christ will be out of here. Just as promised: 1Thess 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Thess 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.1Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:1Thess 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.1Thess 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
What comfort is there waiting for the WRATH to come.
The bible answer man just doesn't understand this dispensation of GRACE. Grace is not wrath. Eph 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
D & K Grace there is a difference between wrath and tribulation. We are not appointed to wrath because we are in Christ. However, through much tribulation (the first century church) entered the kingdom of heaven. We in the 21st century have the kingdom, but all that will to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. The scriptures you quoted speak nothing of a pre-tribulation rapture, no matter how much you want them to or believe them to. 1 Thess 4, in context, is an explanation of the dead who have died in Christ and their place in the return of Christ. 1 Thess 5 Paul is instructing the Thessalonians to walk circumspectly, since they are in Christ, and since those in Christ are not appointed to His wrath-don’t do things that will have wrath poured on you. You must learn to read the scriptures in context, my friend.
@@minimations8697
You think you can do something to have God's wrath poured out on you? Tell me, what is that?
1Thess 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
The Lord's return in this verse is a return to the clouds not the earth as is the 2nd coming at the end of the tribulation, Daniels 70th week, Jacobs trouble.
You need to rightly divide God's word to be able to distinguish, Law from grace, prophecy from mystery, Jew from Gentile, and yes Heaven and Earth. Earth is where the promised kingdom will be for the Jews and the Heavenlies is where the body of Christ will reside.
This is how context works. By rightly dividing the word.
2Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
D & K Grace you keep emphasizing “rightly dividing,” but you’re not doing it. First of all, Daniel’s 70 weeks were fulfilled in Christ. In Daniel 9:24, just read what the purpose of the 70 weeks was. Forget the specifics in the following verses for a moment-just read the 6-fold purpose. Who put an end to sin? Who atoned for sin? Who sealed vision and prophet?Who built a house? Who executed a new covenant? Christ did all that. The 70 weeks are fulfilled.
Again, Paul’s admonishment to the Thessalonians (and to all disciples of Christ) has continued to be “Walk worthy of the calling,” meaning since you are in Christ, make no provision for the flesh. His focus isn’t so much on the “wrath,” but rather it’s more on mortifying the deeds of the flesh. I guess I should have said, “Don’t live like those who will have wrath poured out on them.” You and I, if we are in Christ, are not to live in sin.
If you want to say that this generation of Israel has to complete the “sentence” or punishment of a generation in antiquity then you are saying God has violated His own word. He promised that He would no longer do that (Ezekiel 18:2). What dispensationalists believe is like saying my grandfather committed a crime and was sentenced to 70 years in prison-but a judge decided to suspend his time in prison and then sends me to prison to finish the sentence. God has not done and will not do that. Israel finished their 70 years of desolations spoken by Daniel in 9:1. Then Christ fulfilled the 70 7s told to Daniel in 9:24.
The “rightly dividing” needs to occur on the part of Dispensationalists who think God still has to go back to Israel again. Why do you think the temple was destroyed? That was the sign of the end of the Jewish age as JESUS promised in Matthew 24. Now, with the Jewish age out of way, all is in Christ-the executor of a new covenant, and the old is done with. Why would God suspend the new covenant to go back to something that’s decaying, dying, and done with? That’s like giving up Windows 10 to go back to Windows 3.1. Read the entirety of Paul’s writings and you will find that Christ was the plan all along! It was always the plan that all people would be His image and that He would have the kingdom. In Christ there is no Jew, Gentile, male, female, etc. Now, yes, there is a remnant of Israel in Him, but a portion of Israel that is included in the ONE body of Christ, for whom He comes once to deliver from persecution in the end, and then we will forever be with the LORD!
Christ does NOT have two bodies; Israel and the church. He only has one, made of all nations, as He promised in Isaiah 43:19-21.
Once more, There is no pre-trib rapture. In context Paul is addressing the question posed to him by the Thessalonians regarding the dead and their place in the coming of the LORD.
Ezekiel 34:23-24
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24 And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it.
I’ve been trying to explain this to my family for years.
Is Mr.Hanegraff saying that there is also no Tribulation at all, what about the 1,000 year Milennial Reign, does that still happen, I'm confused...?
@@colindavis1496 when I listened to Hank on FM radio every day I had all this down pat, but it's becoming foggy now. Hanks book the apocalypse code explains it all and it is a fantastic read.
@@richardt875...It's actually pretty scary to realize the enormous chasm in interpretation ranging from Hank's preterist view and the ever so dominant pre dispensationalist view amongst the majority of teachers, I find the lack of overall consensus to be rather disheartening as I attempt to nail down which is correct. John MacArthur whom I respect as a Bible teacher takes the pre dispensationalist perspective, I'm not sure who to believe...!
@@colindavis1496 every preacher seems to have a different view on Revelation as a whole. I prefer Hanks explanation, because it offers more proof that Jesus is who he says he is.
@@colindavis1496 We know from Jesus Himself that the great tribulation is coming, but not when.
I believe the 1000 year reign of Christ on earth after that period is well established in scripture.
So, whether the church is raptured before or mid tribulation is important, but not crucial to a saved member of His church today.
It makes little sense to me that a "post" tribulation rapture would be correct. We (His Bride) will reign with Christ on earth for that thousand years,
not spend eternity in heaven OFF the earth, as some anti rapturists argue.
The Old Testament is full of types and pictures of various sorts. Enoch's rapture (translation) into heaven is well established, and it took place before
the flood of Noah destroyed the earth ( a type of the tribulation).
Also, the church of Christ is HIs bride. In Jewish culture of the day, once betrothed (legally married at that time), the groom and bride remained apart
for an extended period. Then the Husband would return and take His wife back, followed by the wedding feast.
There are some answers to this gentleman's objections to the rapture doctrine, but I am not a scholar by any stretch.
I am confident in a pre tribulation rapture of the church, and all we can do is remain faithful until our Lord returns, in whatever way that is manifested.
God Bless
I used to go back and forth on this. Underneath I always assumed we would go through the Tribulation, but I had to admit that sometimes I would read some arguments for pre-trib and think they had really good points, but then see others for post trib.
It wasn't until studying something completely different that made the Truth hit me right in the face. You can NEVER let an interpreted or extrapolated meaning of a scripture override plainly stated scripture.
That's when I realized there was not ONE verse that plainly stated a pre-trib rapture. EVERY one of them required you to assume a parallel meaning to a scripture or extrapolate it to something else to SUGGEST the Pre-trib doctrine. Again, many of them were certainly reasonable and rational arguments, but they were all based on assumed meaning that wasn't actually stated.
However, there are verses that spell out quite clearly when the rapture takes place.
1Th 4:16-17
"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord."
So, from this we KNOW the dead in Christ are raised FIRST, THEN we who are alive and remain will be caught up, and a Trumpet of God is noted as well.
1Co 15:52
"in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed."
This gives a little further clarification, it's at the LAST Trumpet.
Now there are 7 Trumpets mentioned in Revelation. Now that doesn't mean there might not be other trumpets after that, that aren't mentioned, but one thing for sure, by definition, the last Trumpet CAN'T be before that 7th Trumpet sounds.
Finally, the OTHER milestone marker is the dead being raised first. Lo and behold Revelation mentions the FIRST Resurrection, so obviously there aren't any other resurrections prior to that one, that could precede the rapture. So the rapture HAS to take place after this resurrection mentioned in Rev.
Rev 20:4-5:
"Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection."
Note it specifically refers to this as the FIRST resurrection and it specifically mentions those who didn't worship the beast or accept the mark. So CLEARLY this can't happen before the Antichrist is revealed and the persecution of those who won't accept the mark.
It literally couldn't be any clearer.
Meanwhile not ONE verse says we are raptured before the great tribulation.
Sadly, so many Christians are so used to preachers and prophets making WILD extrapolations of scriptural doctrine, they've literally lost the ability to tell the difference between something that's ACTUALLY stated and the meaning they are reading into it!
I literally had some woman respond with the scripture about the time of Jacob's trouble. She actually thought THAT scripture PROVED pre-trib!

You will be accountable. Zechariah 14 describes the second coming, when Jesus will come down to earth (and all His saints with Him, v. 5) to the Mt. of Olives. In
1 Thessalonians 4:17, Christ doesn't come to earth; we meet Him in the air, two separate events. Isaiah 26:19-20 clearly describes that we will be hidden during the indignation. Malachi 3:16-18 is a promise of being spared on that Day. Daniel was promoted to a higher position and wasn't with his 3 friends when they were thrown into the 7x hotter furnace (7 years Tribulation). There are many scriptures concerning being "caught up"(1 Thess. 4:17). The term comes from Latin Rapturo, where we get the word Rapture. Jesus told us to watch and pray the we be counted worthy to escape "all these things"...Luke 21:36. If you're going to make claims, cite Scripture.
According to Pretrib teaching, the Church is not prophesied in the Old Testament. I find it interesting that in the Old Testament, in Zechariah 14 the word "saints" refers to the Church, but in the New Testament, in Revelation the word "saints" suddenly refers to Israel and NOT the Church. So your word "saints"in the OT refers to a NT people,, while your word "saints" in the NT refers to an OT people. What an act of desperation to find proof for your theory. It would be amusing if it were not so sad. Isaiah 26 is written by Isaiah who says, "Come my people..." This entire passage is about Israel, about their suffering and tribulation, about their failure to be a light to the nations to bring salvation to the earth, about their resurrection and about the indignation that follows that resurrection. It is speaking of Israel entering into their symbolic wedding chamber to be kept safe from God's wrath poured out on the earth. Reading the passage in context, "You have enlarged the nation O Lord, you have enlarged the nation. You are glorified; you have removed it far unto the ends of the earth. Lord in trouble they have visited thee; they poured out a prayer when Thy chastening was upon them, like as a woman with child that draws near to the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs. So we have been in your sight O Lord. We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind. We have not wrought any deliverance in the world, nor have the inhabitants of the earth fallen. Thy dead shall live. Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing you who dwell in the dust, for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out her dead. Come my people..." Malachi 3:16 is also written to Israel about Israel, when Christ comes to purify the sons of Levi. This is a clear reference to Christ's first coming when He sends the messenger before Him to prepare the way. And Daniel is a type of Christ, second in command to Nebuchadnezzar. He missed the fire, but was thrown into the lion's den. He too was spared, just as his three friends were. Oh, and Jesus had three friends in the NT also, Peter, James and John, those reputed to be pillars of the Church. And the watching and the praying have nothing to do with watching and praying for a rapture. It means to be diligent, cautious, to watch, lest you fall into temptation or deception, and you be found unworthy. Jesus, during His hour of temptation, told His three friends to "watch and pray, lest [they] fall into temptation, for the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" Mark 13:48. None of your scripture citations have anything to do with a rapture. If you are going to make a claim, cite RELEVANT scripture. And make sure they agree with other passages which talk about the same events. Zechariah 14 is talking about the Day of the Lord, which the prophet Joel (2:31) Dayhappenstribulation).thiefhappens AFTER the resurrection) is a separate event from the Second Coming, how is this proof that there are seven years separating the events? Especially when the Bible says NOTHING about a seven year tribulation period ANYWHERE. Pretibbers ASSUME that the seventh week of Daniel = a seven year tribulation = the hour of temptation = the wrath of God = the time of Jacob's trouble. But there is no hint that all of these events are concurrent.
Cindy, you are wrong, sorry.
Isaiah 26:19-20 when read IN CONTEXT with the rest of the passage, is about ISRAEL. Malachi is also about Israel and not the Church. What you fail to notice about Daniel is that when he is promoted to ruler over the province of Babylon, his three friends were ALSO set over the affairs of the province of Babylon. This is also paralleled in the Gospels. Jesus had three main followers, Peter, James and John. Later, Daniel was also thrown into a lion's den, so Daniel is clearly a type of Christ while his three friends are a type of Christ's followers, the Church. Jesus told us to watch and pray that we be counted worthy to escape "all these things," he was referring to falling into the deception and sin, which would come as a trap on the whole world. And if you read the passage IN CONTEXT, you will find that many who escape "all these things" are also persecuted, betrayed by friends and family, and some are killed for their faith and their witness. That day will come as a snare on all those whose lives are overcharged with the cares of this life, and in living in drunkeness and carousing. It is THESE things we are to pray that we escape. If you are going to make claims, quote RELEVANT Scripture, instead of supposed proof texts taken completely out of context. You do know what "in context" means, don't you? Here, I''l show you. Isaiah is writing to his people Israel in chapter 26. Chapter 15 mentions God increasing the nation, presumably talking about the addition of Gentiles. Chapter 16 talks about Israel pouring out prayers when the Lord's chastening was upon them. Chapter 17 and 18 talks about God's desire to bring about a spiritual birth, that is, bring salvation to the world. It mentions Israel's failure to accomplish this salvation. In another chapter Isaiah says, "Therefore, God's own hand worked salvation..." Chapter 19 mentions the resurrection of Israel, accomplished by Christ on the cross. Chapter 20 mentions Israel entering into their chambers for a little while, while God's wrath is poured out. Clearly, when read in context, that passage is about Israel being hidden during the indignation. It takes a lot of guts to mishandle the Word of God and rip two verses out of this chapter about Israel in order to try to prove a Pretrib rapture of the Church. But this is par for the course for Pretribbers.
Some people think that God's wrath begins when the 6th seal is opened. They base this on the following two verses: "They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” But the reason they understand that God's wrath has come is because of what is taking place in the previous seals. Notice what we see the fourth seal ... "When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth." (Revelation 6:8) ... and compare this with what Ezekiel writes here: "For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem MY four dreadful judgments - sword and famine and wild beasts and plague - to kill its men and their animals!" (Ezekiel 14:21) and here ... "One who is far away will die of the plague, and one who is near will fall by the sword, and anyone who survives and is spared will die of famine. So will I pour out MY WRATH on them." (Ezekiel 6:12)
@Neil-no5hv Yes. That is the pre-wrath view or mid-tribulation rapture (there is a debate, but one wonders whether the advocates are making a distinction without a difference). But the pre-wrath/mid-trib. rapture presumes a future Great Tribulation, which runs into trouble given the time text in the Olivet Discourse and Book of Revelation. See www.equip.org/articles/apocalypse-when/ and www.equip.org/bible_answers/which-generation-is-this-generation/
It means, "How you went from God's grace- shedding God's blood to self redemption-shedding your own blood" to salvation. And if you're blessed enough to be alive at the end of the years of slaughter then you will be raptured. Please don't be a foolish virgins.

According to notable historians, the book of Revelation was written after 70 A.D., but circa 96-98A.D. Thus, the events described in Revelation could not possibly be the same as you depict.
So many untrue statements made hear, I wouldn't know where to start the corrections. But this is sure - if you do not rightly divide Gods word you will be ashamed. If you think the body of Christ is the same as the Jewish nation, you must study your bible a whole lot more.
2Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Thank you Lord that I look for your "glorious appearing" not your wrathful one.
Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
NOT THIS:
Isa 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Not all Israel is Israel. There is a Israel of God (Gal 6:16), which is the true church out of believers Jew and Gentile alike. The church in the wilderness were only of Israel and the church of Pentecost were also only Jews.Gentiles have no covenant nor promise of their own, they are grafted into the natural tree of Israel and belong to the commonwealth of Israel, they are the new man of Jew and Gentile believer, a union, the middle wall between them broken. They are one body of Christ and protected in Rev 12:6 from the 3 1/2 year tribulation, but Babylon who says they are the true church and will see no sorrow will face the plagues (Rev 18:4).
You can make your blessed hope the Pre-trib Rapture, no problem. But it is not biblical, you have no proof. The glorious appearance is His 2nd coming (there is no other) with the Rapture as Jesus told us, I belief Him and His wrath comes after the Post-trib Rapture, His wrath is His judgement on the wicked (not on believers ) and it comes at the end of their live or the end of this age (2nd coming).
@@benny-yj7pq I understand where you are coming from. I was there. After being saved for 35 years and teaching the adult Sunday School class in a Baptist church I learned that we need to rightly divide God's word. This is dividing truth from truth. It's all truth, (in the KJB) but it's not all our truth. The truth for Israel is not our truth. The truth and instructions given by Paul for the body of Christ is not for and never was for the Jews.
FYI. "Not all Israel is not Israel", is talking only about Israel. There was a believing Israel and a non-believing Israel.
The body of Christ is not mentioned in the OT and does not come into play till the first one was saved in the body of Christ by the gospel of the grace of God - Paul.

Good Job D&K well said.
so you think the antichrists are the "Jewish nation?"
In 1 John 2:22 - Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (ALL Jews deny Jesus and that makes them antichrist, if they believed in Jesus then they would be CHRISTIANS. IF you do not believe me call any Synagogue and ask them if Jesus is the Messiah.)
1 John 2:23 - Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
Since Jews do not accept Jesus as messiah, then who is their messiah? SATAN?
1 Corinthians 16:22 - If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema (CURSED) Maranatha.
SO DO JEWS LOVE JESUS OR ARE THEY CURSED?

Thank you lord for waking me up .
I use to lean toward the Pre tribulation rapture. It's only in the last year or so I've moved away from the view and believe we (all believers and non believers) will go through the tribulation. Who are Christians to believe we are going to be spared the troubles that the tribulation will bring?
What about being saved DURING the tribulation?
There no such thing The people who are saved are people written in lambs book of life to be saved is to persevere true meaning most likely not a lot of people will that fact is only people sealed with Holy Spirt will survive

I was a post triber, pre wrath thinker. However, studying this topic in the scripture it leaves me lean towards pre trib. It requires scriptures interpreting scriptures. The Holy Spirit will be taken off this earth before the 7 years start. We saved Christians are sealed with the Holy Spirit and that is a promise by God. Now right before the 7 years start John sees the heavens open and the church sit in heaven, at the same time the spirit is taken off the earth and the 7 years start. There is much more to it but a deep study leaves me lean towards pre trib. The rapture that is easily referred to always addresses the Jews. Paul however addressed the gentiles and much is different. Rightly dividing is crucial to avoid confusion.
Al lest some like you know the truth about the pre tribulation being true.
Zach, read Leviticus 14:33-53, the story regarding a plague of mildew in one's house. Here in the Torah is the pre-Tribulation Rapture confirmed, the priest (Christ) comes before the 7 days (years) to call out believers from the house (the world), being the sixth church of Revelation. Reddish plague is symbolic of leftism, Marxism, communism, etc. Greenish mildew is symbolic of Islam. People found in the house during the 7 days must wash their clothes, this group is symbolic of people who come to faith during the Tribulation, the seventh church of Revelation.
Thank you! I never believed in the rapture, because I study the Bible regularly. It tought me more, than any of the various Churches I've ever been to!
The seven years that the Hebrews were being murdered by the Nazi’s certainly fits the narrative of the Tribulation and Israel becoming a nation again after the 2 thousand year dispersal by the hand of Christ and Our Father.! The dry bones coming together in Ezekiel is fullfiled with Israel 🇮🇱 in 1948 .! All good things come from Our Father who art in HEAVEN AMEN
There is a pretrib rapture dear believer but not all those that believe in pretrib will go in pretrib.The Philadelphian saints are the church of BROTHERLY LOVE. The bride wants all saints to be harvested with the barley company at pretrib. The bulk of the church will reject the bridal calling. Believers will go to heaven when they are ready to be harvested. The crop must be ready before it can be harvested. Barley and wheat are both grain companies that are both planted at the same time, in the autumn. Barley matures faster than wheat and is harvested in the spring. BARLEY IS THE BRIDE, and she leaves at pretrib. Wheat is harvested in the summer. Wheat is the great multitude church gathered in Rev 7..... THE VIRGINS WITHOUT NUMBER AKA THE INNUMERABLE COMPANY! The final company, caught up at midtrib, before the open door is shut, are the grapes that are gathered at midtrib. The grapes are the 144,000 Jews. The Jews finally believe Christ is their king because they gleaned the truth from the Barley and wheat companies.
He said Bible only speaks of one time the dead wicked and righteous are resurrected . Mathew 27.52 speaks of saints being ressurected at that time. He said no scripture speaks of pretribulation. Rev 3:10 clearly does. People who disagree with that opinion usually don't accept the plain clear meaning of the verse . They say in context it means something else. But it is very clear and God is not trying to confuse the readers. I could go on and refute each point . But it would be a waste of time . The man is emotionally attached to his post tribulation view.
On the surface it seems that way but a deeper study brings it out more clearly
The Word of God clearly teaches a pre tribulation rapture. The reason many people choose not to believe it, shows that they really don't want Christ to return, because they love the world. Titus 2:13
@billmartinn9851 ~ Titus 2:13 concerns the blessed hope of Christ. It has to do with the future resurrection to everlasting life. Nothing about the pretribulation rapture.
For being a bible answer man, he isn't using a lot of bibe
Because a post trib rapture isn’t biblical at all.
And he allots more time to attacking pre-trib than explaining the contradictions in post-trib.
Pretrib is a monkey hear monkey believe doctrine. Promoted by pansy believers who are too special to be subject to beheading.
Where's your bible verse for a second rapture, which is required for tribulation martyrs.
The parroted line is the church isn't mentioned. Are you nuts? Believers ARE mentioned and the church is just assembled believers. Believers assemble...underground small or open megachurch.
His point is not to show that other views are correct, but to show that the pretrib rapture is unbiblical. He probably isn't using a lot of bibe (sic) because there isn't any bible that supports the pretrib rapture. The passages that people believe support the rapture actually don't.
@@Mrcrisis2012 Uh, yeah, william, whatever you say. I studied, believed and taught the pretrib rapture for over 30 years, until I actually DID start to read it. BTW, it's YOU'RE clueless, not YOUR clueless. And I would be careful about judging a brother. Believing a pretrib rapture is not a prerequisite to knowing Jesus. Can you show me where the Bible actually says that the rapture happens before a tribulation? Can you even show me where the Bible teaches a seven year tribulation? The Day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. When people are saying peace and safety, destruction will come. (That's in the Bible. I won't cite references, since you seem to read and know it. The Day of the Lord happens AFTER the sun, moon and stars are darkened. That's in the Bible. Again, you should know the several passages where it is found, and you shouldn't have to look in a concordance. Jesus said that the darkening of the sun, moon and stars happens "AFTER the tribulation of those days. He also says that His Coming is after the darkening of the sun moon and stars. THEN He tells us that this same Coming (NOT some mysterious coming not even mentioned) will be like the days of Lot and Noah. He tells us about this same Coming, that no man knows the day or the hour. Now if you have not completely lost your ability to think and reason, you should be able to discern that the evens follow a certain chronology:
1) "tribulation of those days"
2) darkening of the sun, moon and stars
3) Day of the Lord coming as a thief (which includes the gathering of the elect and the punishment of the wicked. The ELECT refers to those who are in Christ. Paul makes it clear that the elect is not synonymous with Israel. He says, "Not all who are descended from Israel are Israel," AND "what Israel sought it did not find, but the ELECT found it (that is a righteousness that is by faith). So the ELECT refers to the believing remnant of Israel and the ingrafted Gentiles who are saved by faith. In other words, the CHURCH!
Pretribbers attempt to equate the tribulation with the wrath of God on the Day of the Lord. The Bible will have none of this pretrib nonsense. It says plainly that the wrath poured out on the Day of the Lord happens "after the tribulation of those day." It's that simple. You can quote you proof texts till the cows come home and you still will not find a pretrib rapture. An example of one of these proof texts is the claim that the "hour of temptation" refers to the tribulation. If find it funny. That promise to be kept form the hour of temptation was given to a specific literal church that existed in the first century. They were promise this protection because they "kept the word of Christ's patience." But if this is referring to a tribulation that would not occur for another 1900 or so years, the promise because completely meaningless, because even those who did NOT keep the word of Christ's patience were kept from the hour. It seems to me that the hour of temptation is one that Paul talks about, when he says that there is no temptation but which is common to man (all men), and that God will make a way of escape from this temptation. Jesus' "hour of temptation is Gethsemane is also a type of the hour of temptation in Revelation. Jesus told His disciples to "watch and pray," lest they fall into temptation. And when they fell asleep, He said, "Could you not watch for one hour?" And we all know that Peter fell away and denied the Lord. This is what it will be like during the end times. And it is only those who have persevered in faith and kept the word of Christ's patience that will escape this time. Pretribbers seem to miss the fact that the so-called church age ends AFTER the Laodicean age, NOT the Philadelpian age. It also says that thoe Laodicean ovecomers will sit on Christ's throne and He sat on His Father's throne. These are those who John says reign with Christ a thousand years. Pretribber like to make the claim that John being call up in the spirit symbolizes the rapture of the Church. If so, where are the dead in Christ who rise first? Where is the voice of the archangel, and the trumpet of God. (Jesus voice also sounds like a trumpet chapter one. Is that also the trumpet of God?) But if indeed, the calling up of John is the rapture, then should it not have happened after Philadelphia, and not after Laodicea? So, the Bible says NOWHERE that the rapture happens after tribulation.
I like how you quote absolutely no Scripture in your comment and then claim that I don't read or know the Bible, or know Jesus for that matter. Is THAT your argument? You have no answer so you attack and judge?
Again, let's get back to the subject of when Christ will withdraw the Church. It is lawful that in the current situation, Christians ask themselves: Are we going to go through the Tribulation? How do you explain Christians suffering now? And how to understand these texts: "And she was allowed to make war on the saints, and to overcome them ... And I saw that the woman was drunk on the blood of the saints, and on the blood of the witnesses of Jesus" Rev. 13: 7 and 17: 6. So how to sustain pre-tribulationism? If passages like Paul Ap.3: 10 and Luke 21:36 do not comfort you ... Then I want to bring Jesus' own words ... "you are Peter, and on this stone I will build my church, and the doors from hell will not prevail against her; " Mt 16:18. Christ's statement is that the Evil One will never, never be able to extinguish the Church or exterminate it completely, so it is clear that she will not participate in this period when the Antichrist will be allowed to win everything and everyone. If it is impossible for Christ to lie, then let us be confident and sober in the Word. I see many of their faces fallen and defeated, terrified by the situation they see and what is to come, they do not know that you are an elected race, a royal priesthood, the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world, you are more what a winner and that no creature of the present or the future can separate you from the Love of God, in the person of Christ Jesus! So watch and pray because the One who bought you at a high price will come to rescue you. Maranata!
WK, You base much of your beliefs on a far future fulfillment of Revelation. The writer, John, addressed the book to the seven churches in Asia Minor that were actual (literal!) churches in his time. He says, quoting Jesus, “the things that must take place shortly”, “I am coming soon”, “the time is near” throughout Revelation. The revelation was given to John during one of the most trying times of the first century Christians. John says he is a “brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation” they were experiencing. The rivalry between those who said Caesar is Lord and those proclaiming Jesus is Lord began in earnest with the persecution of Nero in 64 AD, as we know from Tacitus and other historians. It is without a doubt that the revelation had a firm contextual grounding in the first century church struggling against the persecutions by the beast of Rome, not to the present day 2,000 years removed. If you want to understand Revelation, you must first understand the Old Testament; 2/3rd of the book is quoting or alluding to the OT prophets. For example, the harlot on the beast with the cup of wine representing the blood of the prophets and the saints was used in Jeremiah and Ezekiel as symbolic of apostate Judah in the 6th BC, when God judged the nation and destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in 586 BC. Jesus told the Pharisees they were guilty of the blood of “the prophets whose blood they shed”, and to fill up the full measure. This was the precise symbol used to describe the coming wrath of God in the OT through the Babylonians as it was in Revelation through the Romans. According to Eusebius the Christians fled Judea to the mountains of Perea to the north, in Pella, when the Roman armies led by Cestius Gallus surrounded the city in 66 AD. The Christians who heeded Jesus’ words to flee Judea were spared, while the Jews trusted in their ability to find protection in the temple, God’s house, and were slaughtered by the sword, famine, and plague-just as in Jeremiah and Ezekiel’s day.
There is no mention of the antichrist in the book of Revelation, nor anywhere else in the NT. John describes “antichrists” as false teachers who had “gone out from” the congregations of believers in his day, but no end times antichrist is to be found in the Bible, at all. This is purely pop-eschatology, and it sells lots of books.
That's simple go through Matthew 24 the Olivet's Discourse, the Messiach gave the answers to His Disciples. I mean there you'll find His direct answer.
Jeffrey Osburn your type just wants to argue .
Tristan Anderson Our beliefs should be strongly grounded in biblical evidence so that we can confidently share our faith with others. The exchange of information we have on this forum is presenting our “arguments”-our defense of what we believe-but need not be “argumentative”. Examining the strengths and weaknesses of our beliefs makes us stronger in our service in the Kingdom, as “iron sharpens iron” (Prov 27:17). I have come to believe the rapture as commonly taught is not a biblical doctrine. I came to this conclusion after carefully studying the Bible, after previously believing it simply because that was what I was taught. I want to encourage you to challenge your beliefs, and be willing to follow what the Bible clearly teaches-not me, or any “prophecy experts”. There is nothing to fear or lose by challenging our beliefs against the Bible, only the reward of proper study and strength in your beliefs. My investigative journey of 8 years (and counting!) have led me to the conclusion that I could no longer support dispensationalism and a secret coming/partial resurrection called the rapture. Be encouraged to “test all things and hold on to that which is good” (1 Thess 5:12). Be blessed, Tristan!

I remember reading Jesus saying "all these things must come to pass, then look up your redemption draw nye"
My only criticism is the inappropriate use of "decimated" in the context. It sounds good and works for modern contexts, but applied to AD 70 it is far less emphatic than the word Destroyed, as in the temple was utterly or completely destroyed.
Otherwise, an outstanding Bible lesson.
Decimated just means reducing by 1/10. It’s miss used a lot.
I can not believe this is Hank Hanegraaff speaking. I never would have believed 20 years ago or now he could be so utterly deceived.
The fact that he would believe God would make his church the bride of Christ suffer the tribulation is unbelievable . . .
*That's only because you never received the love of the truth.*
*That's also why you can't see that your bible has been magically destroyed.*
@richardg9734 Well, the Scriptures teach the Christian experiences tribulation, and Hank is affirming the authority of the Bible.
33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Rom. 5:1-4).
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. (James 1:2)
12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter. (1 Peter 4:12-16).
1 Thessalonians 5:8-9 never tells us that we are going to be taken out of the fight before the fight gets going, but we put on the armor and we are not destined to wrath.
I once heard someone say, "Anyone who doesn't think God would let his church suffer the tribulation can't know much about church history."
Pretribulationist here, be ready for the rapture or endure the tribulation and beheading for JESUS.IF you miss the rapture you miss the marrage feast in heaven.
@mgman2640 Always be vigilant for the second appearance of Jesus Christ. Remain faithful to the end. Yet, nothing in Scripture tells of a pretribulation rapture, i.e., the idea that God is going to remove the Church from the Earth before the start of a future seven-year Great Tribulation that ends with Jesus' Second Coming and the start of the Millennium.
Hosea 3:4-5
4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:
5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.
IMO, the disappointment of no pre-trib rapture happening will cause the great falling away of the faith, midway through the 7-yr treaty. These disappointed "Christians" will be the first to take the Mark of the Beast, so they can survive, because their minds weren't prepared for the persecutions.
I have thought the same about the "great falling away". If they aren't "raptured" before it gets messy, they will turn their backs on Christ claiming that He isn't coming.
I so sad to think that you are right. I've considered the same. It's happening already with the false birthing pain of the plandemic biovirus.
Sad, but true! That's why studying His Word is so important, rather than following man! I pray a lot more people will read your comment and consider this!
The Rapture is in 1 Thessalonians @ harpagēsometha (Greek) = rapiemur (Latin) = we shall be raptured. Raptured = caught up. Check the Greek verb harpazō. I count 9 raptures in the Bible: Enoch, Elijah, Christ, Philip in Acts (short hop rapture), Paul (possibly in vision) John Rev 4:1 (possibility in vision, The Church, & the 2 witnesses of Rev 11. There should be no dispute about the fact of the Rapture. Christians do debate its timing relative to other prophetic events. This debate should not cause rancor. What we believe on the Rapture will not change anything about it one white.
The rapture will be at the last trumpet. (like it is written in scriptures below)
(before the 7 bowls of the wrath of God)
Revelation 10
-7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the MYSTERY of God
should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
1 Corinthians 15
-51 Behold, I shew you a MYSTERY; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed
-52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, AT THE LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the
dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Thessalonians 4
-16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel,
and with the TRUMPET of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise
-17 After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet
the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
@@andreacameli4359 that's not the same trump lol 😂
@@7Logik Paul was a former devout follower of Hebrew laws,
and so a logical context for "last trump" can be found in
the Old Testament. . . The "last trump" would be
understood by Paul as indicating that the entire
congregation was to be on the move, (Numbers ch. 10),
so, likewise the "last trump" at the time of the Rapture
was likely used to indicate that the entire CHURCH will be
called up together. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-16).
Further, the Revelation judgement trumpet visions by John
would not be given for approximately 40 years after Paul wrote,
so how would Paul have known of any other future trumpets?
Here are four reasons why the "last trump" is unique:
1.The church age trumpet is called the "trump of God"
The last trumpet of Revelation is the trumpet of the 7th angel.
2. The "last trump" in Thessalonians calls the dead to life.
The last (7th) trumpet of Revelation is blown AFTER the
two witnesses are resurrected, and final wrath is coming.
3. The trumpet ending the church age comes as a BLESSING.
The last trumpet of Revelation is for JUDGEMENT ("the third woe").
4. The trump of the church age sounds in "a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye", but the 7th trumpet of Revelation
sounds for "DAYS". (Rev. 10:7)
Mark13:17 Woe to those who are with child..
It is an analogy that means, some are spiritually in the bed with satan.
They were not faithful to the Bridegroom
rapture:act of carrying off," from Middle French rapture, from Medieval Latin raptura "seizure, rape, kidnapping," from Latin raptus "a carrying off, abduction, snatching away; rape" (see rapt).
What man deceived thee to believe the word of God is written by God in the Greek language? Other than one word, Apollyon, which is a pure word, what precepts of the LORD are written in the Greek language? The book of the LORD's holy scriptures is written in one pure language made of pure words and such a language is called the Hebrew tongue. The great question however is: what is the true Hebrew tongue?
Your teaching is right in line with the pope, seventh day Adventist, and j w’s…all reject the gospel Paul preached 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and are ready to “ endure to the end “ as Jesus told a tax collector, a devil, and 10 fishermen….. are you saved? How did you get saved?
People forget to read into scripture the MILLENNIAL AGE. Not all verses are referring to before the rapture. Also, the very word TRIBULATION is misleading; the ACTUAL DEFINITION of the word tribulation has nothing to do with WRATH or the time of Gods judgement.
The word tribulation is simply defined as troubles and distress, these are what the earth has always experienced.
The correct order
1. Tribulation
2. Great tribulation
3. Wrath
Tribulation is first not last! The world has always experienced tribulation.
So when Jesus says in Matthew 24:29 “immediately after the tribulation of those days” he’s referring to theses days.
This man needs to go back and study his theory with the CORRECT knowledge.
Hank you may want to read "50 reasons for a pre-tribulation rapture" by the late Dr John Walvoord.........he thought through all this long before you started your radio show
Thank you. I am not totally convinced of pre-trib but it is so unscholarly for Hank to dogmatically declare that "there is no Biblical evidence for a pre-trib rapture". I tend to be pre-trib and I think that is as far as you can commit to any of these views. They all have Biblical support and they all have Biblical detractions. Which one comes out most likely? For me it looks like pre-trib.
@@bronzemv4440 if you search youtube, there are multiple rapture debates, and they always come out pre-trib, not just Walvoord.
@@bronzemv4440 some believe the first rapture is pre trib for believers, then during trib, then at the end of trib, depending on how hard-headed people are in accepting the gospel
Your confusion about salvation by joining the Orthodox church is leading you into deception. Pre-trib Rapture is Biblical. You are in error!
Yes, all of these are unbiblcial, be careful
If jesus comes for his bride before the tribulation as pre-trib indicates how do you explain Revelations 19:7 where it is said "Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready." The bride is the church and according to that verse it is then that the wedding feast, referred to in Matthew 25 and Mark 13 by Jesus, is happening and he is there to redeem his bride(the church). Does he do it twice?
I suspect history will unravel this teaching
Send this guy to a seminary please. How can you be so wrong on so many points?
Gabriel tells Daniel that the 70 weeks are decreed for “your people” (Israel)…which includes the 70th week. It is not decreed for the church. The church didn’t exist yet. The entire point of the 7 year tribulation is to get Israel to repent and call on Jesus’ name, which they will, and then he will return in his second coming.
