As a Christian, I try to live each day as if Jesus could come back any second! I do not worry about when it is going to happen, just that I know it is going to happen. He tells us in His Word to not worry, to be watchful! Be ready!!!! April 8th is my Birthday, I am going to concentrate on God giving me another day of life!
I was working for Florida Department of Health in the early 2000's and we had 4 hurricanes that made a cross a cross Florida and 5th hurricane that went across Florida horizontally. The scientists have predicted that Florida is going to sink into the oceans for a long time. Florida has not sunk. I know that God is in control, only God knows when Jesus is coming back. You are doing a great job explaining the signs of the end of the time.
LOL. Hate to break it to you but outside your little Christian bubble most non-Christians in the USA see Christianity as a source of oppression, hate and tyranny.
A true Christian should not be concerned about this solar eclipse. If your ready, your ready...if your not, your not. I, personally am not concerned about the eclipse. My life is prepared and ready when the Lord is ready. Worrying is a sin people. If your worried about this eclipse your life is not ready for Christ's return. I don't put any worth in these "Tick Tockers" or people on "You Tube". I put my worth in Christ alone. Look forward to Monday mornings with you. YeeYee, much love to you & your family.
As Christian's, we shouldn't be worried about the time of course, just be ready, because there are many Christian's are very apostate. Don't worry about the time, but we should know or how to identify signs. There are more things going on or planned for on the 8th than just the eclipse. They may not mean anything, but in these days, they could. Bottomline, evaluate your life's and stay ready
Hey Granger, I just have to say I am not much of a podcast person. But the ways you sit down and explain things out for us is what I really appreciate. Thank you and keep up the great work
Guys, Here is The Savior HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH” YaH is The Heavenly Father YaH arrives via the TENT OF MEETING YaH was Who they Crucified for our sins YaH was Crucified on an Almond TREE - Ancient Semitic Cuneiform of Moshe (Moses) - Isa Scroll (The Original Isaiah) Isaiah 42:8 "I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.” Isaiah 43:11 “I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me.” Isaiah 45:5 “I am YaH, and there is none else.”
It's clear as day we're in the end times. Whether the solar eclipse is the start of some major event is minor in comparison to the fact that Jesus could take his bride at any time and we need to be spiritually prepared.
It’s very dangerous what people are putting out for people who don’t know or understand the Bible or God. Thank you for making this video addressing this bogus information. ”“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.“ Matthew 24:36 NKJV The end of times are exciting don’t get me wrong but don’t be deceived!! Jesus will come back when the time is right! ❤🙏🏻
I recently saw a video from a woman who said she had a dream about God. She said in her dream, God said we should live like He is returning in 2 minutes
Theres no rapture it's not biblical and God was saying to be diligence and continue to spread the gospel by sharing what being and living as Christ looks like,let our life be a testimony, the antichrist satan himself comes first before the true Christ returns, Christ returns after the revealing of the son of perdition and the son of perdition is the devil satan himself playing h8s role as Christ returned
Viewing Eschatology as a distraction? That's an interesting perspective. Jesus spoke a lot about the end times. If 1/3 of God's Word is prophetic in nature, that tells me it's important. One of the problems with pastors today is they are topical teachers who pick a topic and then selectively choose scripture to apply to their message. I appreciate pastors who are Bible teachers, and teach the entire word of God, verse by verse. There's so much hype about the solar eclipse because there's such a lack of good Bible teaching in the churches.
Excellent podcast Granger, I pray this goes vital. True Christians will be rooted & grounded in His Word to keep their faith & trust in God of what's to come. Love your channels, love your family & love that you all live out your faith. ❤🙏🥰
I take my comment back from 7 hours ago. It was too early in the morning to listen to the guy on the first video. His off the wall-ness was aggravating. Came back to this podcast and thank you that you preached it.
Thank you Granger. There is so much false teaching and nonsense on social media and, as followers of Jesus, we need to be able to identify the lies. The only way to know, for sure, that something is a lie is if we know the truth, God's word is the truth.
Nope, the world is not coming to an end. God is definitely up to something, and it will be glorious! Just live your life surrendered to Him! Deny yourself, pick up your cross, and FOLLOW HIM!! Let His image be formed in you, let your/His light shine in you, and through you, manifesting Him, His presence in all that you do with love and compassion Not with selfish motives or condemnation. His love conquers ALL. God bless you all! He rules and reigns now and forever!
I'm sending this video to some family members. They have piunded me about the end times and how we are there and I'm not being serious. And if I'm a Jesus follower ..... well I am a Jesus follower. But I don't live in fear of this. They send me videos all the time and talk to me all the time about the end times. I'm dwelling on each day doing what God tells me to do.
I always believers in Jesus Christ as my life and Only His knowledge when or time soon the Second Christ coming . We the people don’t know when yet.! Keep focus on Jesus and prayers daily. Also prayers for forgiveness and repentance before it’s too late ⏰.. my experience about face to face appearance from Jesus…
Love your witnessing and speaking The Truth, and calling attention to such important matters according to The Word of God. Thank you for loving us with The Truth. 🙏💜👑
The amount of effort these people put into signs and wonders could be used to lead people to Jesus! It’s so clear that we won’t know the time or day and that we aren’t promised tomorrow so make the decision to live for Jesus and let him take care of it.
As far as Breaker goes. He’s an amazing preacher. He has taught me more more about God than the people in my life has ever. One thing I was blessed with his discernment. And I thank God for that. When you take all of what America is doing, all of the sin against God America has created now put it with the solar eclipse tomorrow put that on top of everything that’s happening in Israel with the red heifers which is biblical by the way, but with the statute of liberty getting struck by lightning and the earthquake and Lebanon, New Jersey to some kind of sign from the Lord . America needs to repent and we need to worship God again as a nation a nation, without God will not stand America will fall. I truly believe America is Babylon. We are going to fall.
Doesn’t matter to me because I’m ready to go! Can’t wait for our Lord Jesus to come back and get us!! Want be long gang just make sure your house is in order!! Rather you go by the grave or in the air be ready!! None of us have the promise of tomorrow!!!
Granger Smith. You have been my favorite country artist. I'm happy you have taken to religion. In the early 90's I read the Bible every day. Said the rosaries. I said my morning prayers. Prayer before a meal. I was accused by my 8-year-old niece. That I touched her. As fast as that happens. It went away. Last year, Mom said I'm not acting like myself. She and my sister took me to a spiritual healer. He said I had three evil entities. The next day. Went back to have them removed. Mom asked me how I felt. I told her I felt happy. Then she told me what I had done. I told her, why do I feel happy. If I did all that? She said I stole her & boyfriend's money. But, I don't remember doing that. My family doesn't trust me. Some even stopped talking to me. I was never close to my family. I tried getting into the Bible. But have trouble. I want to read about Wiccan. And become one. Someone told me Jesus is lord and God. I told him. How can he be both father and son? They said in a different Bible. Jesus and God are the same. I refused to believe. When I read the Bible. I read up to Psalms. Read all the gospels. And the book of Revelation. I was devoted to reading the Bible. I tried to follow the ten commands. But it was hard to. But I kept going. Years later, I had an accident. I suffered a head trauma. I looked up to the sky. And said, God, I ask only three things from you. One protect my family. Two protect my friends. Three leave me alone. I didn't talk bad about God. I just didn't want anything to do with him. But, that reminds me of the lost lamb. Jesus went after him. He never left me alone. But, now I need help getting back to the Bible. Thank you so very much. With love for God and you and your family. Armando.
It is so true that we will not know the day or the hour but the Bible tells us we can know when we are in the session, it will be like birthpangs like a women in labour. Like it will be in the days of Noah and the days of Lot and we can clearly see that we are in that session. And yes there has always been wars and earthquakes but the Bible says when All those things happen all at once then we should look up for our redemption draws near and the Bible says we should comfort one another with these words, so I just want to confort everyone that we don't need to have fear because God does not give us the spirit of fear but of peace and of a sound mind. So yeah I truly believe that we are at the beginning of the birthpangs which are getting stronger and stronger but as children of God we should differently be watching and waiting for Christ return which is the rapture. And again we have nothing to fear if we have Jesus.
I think I heard this on your show, but I’m not sure. It goes something like this: Christians should spend less time arguing about the second coming of Jesus and spend more time talking to folks about the first time. When it comes to this matter, what would God have me do? It’s pretty clear. He wants me to be ready, always, not just when unusual things are happening. If I’m truly doing all I can to serve Him, that really doesn’t leave me with much time to get lost in discussions like these folks are doing. If we’d read the story of Noah and learned the lesson there, we should be more concerned with ordinary days than we are with weather anomalies.
I’m so glad we have a guy like granger smith to give some true explanation to things that some people are worrying about. It makes me sick thinking that there people trying to force Jesus on everybody. Thank you so much Granger for what you do keep it up brother.
Came across this video. First three or four sentences and discernment kicked in for me immediately. You are definitely quenching the Holy Spirit with your rhetoric and finger pointing. How do you know that a person might be led to Christ through these other person's videos? Unless someone is blaspheming or a false teacher or spreading false prophecy it's probably best to keep your mouth shut. I'll pray for your haughtiness and pride and that you will find true discernment. God bless!
Who said the eclipse meant Jesus was coming? The eclipse on April 8 has undeniable biblical references and the numbers that are associated with it. From the full moon in February 2/24 to April 8, 2024 is 40 days. From April 8, 2024 to May 18, 2024 is 40 days. May 18, 2024 is Pentecost. This is not coincidence. God is warning the US. Jesus second coming occurs after the 7 year tribulation. The start of the 7 years occurrs when the Antichrist makes a peace treaty with Israel and then halfway through, breaks the treaty.
I know for certain we are one day closer to Jesus coming back 😊We should always live as if he is coming tomorrow. But he did give us signs of the end times, it’s in the Bible. I think that means we need to get our butts in high gear and start being the best disciple’s and repent.
I loved this episode! There is so much false stuff on social media these days, and lots of people believe it. I'd love to see more podcasts like this ❤
Thank you Granger! All true Christians should know this verse! Matthew 24:36 But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
Thank you Granger for helping me get through this darkness and helping me see the light. I’m very fortunate that God led me to your Channel. Like again Granger Thank You.
One thing that has always been a mystery to me was the response of the King of Nineveh. Just "out of the blue" an itinerant preacher shows up and pronounces judgment on this city. And the whole bunch of them fall on their knees and repent????!!!!!!. Either Jonah was some preacher or there may be a few pieces of information that we do not possess. A total or near total eclipse occurred in Nineveh on June 15, 763 BC. Some scholars believe that this may have shortly preceded Jonah's visit. There may have been an earthquake sometime around that as well, and one of their enemies to the north was beginning to make threats. We cannot categorically link all three of these conjoining forces, but conjecture will allow us to surmise that something "out of the ordinary" was happening there. When Jonah preached "Forty days and Nineveh will be destroyed," he struck a nerve. (Jonah 3:4) We can probably accurately proclaim that God had paved the way for this preacher. The people were ready to hear the message that they probably even expected. Is our country in a similar situation? Not to say that Jonah is coming, but we do have prophets in the Scripture who warn us about continuing to flaunt our rebellion and flout God's laws?? Absolutely! Maybe we could be so bold as to say we flaunt our flout. But I digress. When asked about a sign as He discussed coming judgment, Jesus specifically mentioned the sign of Jonah. (Matthew 12:39) He went on to explain the three day correlation, so we cannot ignore that in our interpretation. But we are not precluded from seeing other signs. If you recall, the Crucifixion was accompanied by a "darkening of the sun" for three hours. Definitely not an eclipse, I would conclude. But the sun was gone. And there was an earthquake. Again, this correlates somewhat with what we know about history. So, if a prophet told us that the Lord was coming soon, how should we respond? Jesus said that the men of Nineveh, Sodom, and Gomorrah would rise up in judgment of the generation that rejected His testimony. And we have more knowledge than either Nineveh or Jerusalem. It’s apparent that God uses the sun as a warning to Gentile nations like Ninevah. Ninevah was trying to divide Israel. The US in September of 2020 wrote a “peace” treaty with Israel that has caused nothing but to escalate existing tension in Israel. God isn’t happy about the US trying dividing Israel. Yes, it looks like peace but it’s all about war. Who authored that treaty in September 2020 called the Abraham Accords ??? I’ll let you do the research on that. It is time to wake up. The Lord is coming. Maranatha! I'm ready, are you?
I am so excited about your giveaway! I know it’s random but I feel lucky. I have watched your channel since 2021 when I started up my crocheting again! You were such a help to me for sure. I was taught by a friend before I had internet back in 1990ish. Gave it up for 20 years and then I found you. Congratulations on 1 million!
Many people are stupid. Instead of trying to find signs they should learn the context of the Bible. To read a bible that shows the different languages meaning of words doesn’t describe the context of the words, the real meaning of passages. Meanings of words have varied through the biblical time. No one knows the “When” just as Jesus stated. Thanks Granger for helping people understand what Paul, Jonah, Jesus & God said. I love that you encourage people to have faith and that God loves us. Keep helping people understand God’s love and Jesus’ grace. I believe the gospel has been spoken to all nations. The nations being the far places that the 12 disciples reached. They reached all the chosen people (Jews) who had scattered to all ends of the land during that biblical time. Paul didn’t die until he reached Rome to share the word of Jesus. Rome being the last nation that needed to be reached.
This is great food for thought. There are some sketchy escapologists out there but there are also some good ones. I highly recommend the Troy Brewer video “I Got to tell Michael Knowles about the 2024 Eclipse!” It’s fascinating, with a great perspective from Troy. He is a very reputable pastor, author from Texas. I’ve been to his church. Yes, we are not to be fearful but we are to stay alert and awake. God gave us signs for a reason.
As far as the science behind the videos, he’s talking about, he’s right, an eclipse just means the Earth is in the presence of shadows, either on the Earth, or the moon, based on the relationship of the moon and the sun, and they hit the Earth all the time I think with the guy in the video was talking about was Not that they’re really happening more frequently it’s just we’re getting them in areas where people are seeing them more often, like this eclipse, and the one a few years ago are going right through the middle of the United States, and our ability to fully experience a major eclipse is more frequent Because now we’re seeing two major eclipses across the United States within a few years to where, before usually had to wait 20 or 30 years, but Grangers right they’re not happening more frequently. There is some relevance to it. The Bible does talk about some things like the return of the nation of Israel, and increases in the frequencies of some natural disasters like earthquakes for instance, and those are things that can be verified scientifically that we shouldn’t ignore, the frequency of earthquakes since 1948, has increased very rapidly , and there are other signs like the phrase drying up and new Rivers popping up in the middle of the desert in those areas of the Middle East, and there are things that we should consider, to completely ignore them as an attitude that confuses me because God put that in the Bible for a reason. I don’t think we should obsess over these things but I do think it’s good for us to know and understand God‘s word completely so when these discussions come up, we’re not coming from a place of ignorance and we won’t be drawn to false prophecies, or confused or worried about these things, because we worry about the end times whether it’s happening now or not. We understand God’s word understand these things fully then it happens in 2000 years or it happens this week it’s not gonna be a surprise it’s not gonna be as confusing and distracting to us. I’ve studied it intensely and think I have a pretty good understanding of it and I’ll still watch someone preaching on it and listen to what they say and hold it up against God‘s word in doing that. It’s just not as big of a deal to me. If Jesus calls us to heaven today I’m great with that and people argue about pre-trip or midrib or post trip, if you know what’s gonna happen and how it all ends up and what you need to do, it makes all that less confusing either way. So in understanding it to me, it doesn’t matter if it’s Post trip pre-trip mid trip, I know what I need to do either way and it is what it is but if it happens in our lifetimes, those who understand it aren’t gonna be running around like a chicken with their head cut off, trying to figure it all out at the last minute, because the truth is when you’re talking about Dozens of prophecies and revelation and references throughout scripture trying to put it together. It’s a pretty huge puzzle and it’s not something you’re gonna figure out in 30 minutes and you can cover most of it in maybe 3 to 20 hours but dash will study it, and understand it Could take years and that’s why we don’t just read and study the Bible for year and then think we’ve got it all figured out and go on with our life. We keep studying it and not just eschatology but everything. I’ve been studying the relationship with Jewish people in light of what’s been going on For the last year over there and I was somebody who had been studying this for 30 years and as I keep going back to my Bible to try to figure things out I realize that there are things I’ve read repeatedly that I’m just now understanding. I’m scrambling understand our relationship through God with the Jewish people, and finding that it’s just as intense and takes hours and hours and hours of study, and even after decades of being a Christian and hearing sermons on this stuff and reading it before I never realized what a huge connection and how critical it was to Christianity and who Jesus Christ is, and our relationship with him, it is our history history. It is how we know Who God is and his nature. That’s a more acceptable concept in the theological communities but for some reason a lot of people just throw eschatology or the study of the end times out the window and I get that it’s confusing and hard to understand but it’s a huge part of God‘s word, and, I don’t see how people can justify saying it’s somehow irrelevant or we don’t need to know about it and we should just blow it off and ignore it. It’s like everything else in the Bible. Of course we shouldn’t obsess about it and get all distracted with it but we shouldn’t ignore it either and the truth is it’s more relevant now than I’ve ever seen it before when I studied back in the 80s and 90s it was interesting but it didn’t seem like anything that would ever unfold in my lifetime , now watching the world today and reading through these prophecies in the book of revelation, it’s like watching the news it’s unfolding right before our eyes. That doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen this week, and it may not happen for 1000 years, we don’t know, but Understanding it makes absorbing everything going on in our world right now a whole lot, less confusing and a whole lot less-scary. I don’t think we should be learning it from Internet shorts but it’s a pretty relevant thing in society at this point and we should understand these things especially if we’re going to watch these videos and discuss these topics that are being discussed an increasing rate these days. As far as eclipses in general, they were mentioned several time in the Bible, including the crucifixion, and God‘s word does talk about signs and wonders and wonders in the heavens, so I think it’s something that Christians should study should understand that way when they see all these videos on the Internet, number one understand what most of these people are talking about and number two and more importantly, they see through the mistakes, and in some cases deceptions. And honestly, I’ve got no problem with this guy in the first video or people talking about these things and I think it’s good that people are questioning whether or not events going on in the world right now are biblical and talking about God and salvation and even if they’re getting it wrong or just asking questions at least they’re thinking about it instead of ignoring it and as Christians it’s a good thing if we understand this and are able to answer peoples questions and understand the parts of it, we do know and the parts where it tells us there are things we can’t knowahead of time. It was important in us for Jesus to speak about it frequently, I don’t see how we can think it’s a good idea to ignore it.
I've been through so many ends of the world for the strangest reasons. The solar eclipse has happened many times in my long lifetime. The conjunctions with the planets in alignment were supposed to pull the earth apart. 2000 was supposed to be the end all be all. Just watch the shadows during the eclipse. Fascinating. By the way I loved your Jerusalem series. Thank you.
THANK YOU, GRANGER! I am always telling people who try to predict the end times WE WILL NOT KNOW. ONLY GOD THE FATHER KNOWS! This eclipse is not much of a big deal to me. I love how you explained all 4 of these videos away.
Form someone that hasn't been to a church since I was a kid or a funeral, just a guy that lives lol, all this eclipse stuff is beyond bonkers to me. I donno what's goin on but people needa calm the F down and just be freakin normal.
Remember everyone the world was going to end in Y2K lol I was like 10 watching the ball drop and was scared to death but we’re still here 24 years later
The question of when Jesus was coming back has always been a question all the way back to the disciples of Jesus and the first church. In Matthew 24:42, Jesus Christ says, “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” He repeats this statement again in Matthew 25:13. What did He mean by this, and what exactly should we be watching for? In order to understand these statements, we must get a little bit of context on the conversation Jesus was having with His disciples. In the first few verses of Matthew 24, the disciples were sort of "showing off" the magnificence of the Temple, which stood in Jerusalem at that time. Jesus told them not to be too amazed by it because it would eventually be destroyed (it was, about 40 years later). It seems this took the disciples back a little bit, and perhaps they took some time to think more deeply about what Jesus said. They came to the realization that there were more important things in life than the physical buildings there in Jerusalem that they had admired so much. Perhaps this was on their mind when they came to Jesus a little later, outside the city and asked in verse 3, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Jesus sensed a change in their attitudes and saw a teachable moment. What was His answer to their question? Verse 4 tells us: “And Jesus answered and said to them: 'Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, "I am the Christ," and will deceive many.'” This was likely not the answer they were expecting at the moment. Perhaps they were hoping He’d give them a physical sign, or perhaps even a timeframe or date for His return. Instead, He warned them not to be deceived. In fact, He goes on to warn them again in verses 23-26, “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.” In addition to spiritual deception, Christ mentions that there will be disturbing events occurring on the world scene: “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places” (Matthew 24:6-7). This indicates that along with spiritual deception, there will be political and military conflict, as well as environmental disasters such as famine, pestilence and earthquakes. From there, religious persecution will quickly follow (Matthew 24:9-10). These will not be small localized issues, and in fact, in verse 8, we’re told, “All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Things will get so bad and so widespread, that, “unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved…” (Matthew 24:22). This time is referred to as the "great tribulation" in verse 21. Because we’re warned about these widespread events, the command to "watch" includes to being alert to newsworthy events happening in the world we live in. When we see major shifts in the political climate, and see nations jockeying for position and preparing for war, we must take note! Likewise, we should be alert to potential biological and environmental disasters that we are told will happen in the end times. Later, in verse 29, Christ does mention some physical signs that will be visible IN THE HEAVENS 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 : Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” Note that this is immediately after a difficult time known as the tribulation (again, see verse 21), and just before His physical return in verse 30: “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” While there will be signs in the heavens before Christ’s return, these occur just prior to His return, and after the great tribulation. We absolutely are to be watching for these events!!! Jesus said it. It helps us to be prepared and to help prepare others!! We must be watching for these end times events. They are happening more frequent and growing in intensity. Look at our world??! The events of Matthew 24 are playing out right before our very eyes!!!
What makes America so special. Seriously, why is it that we get a solar eclipse…. And the world is ending. We are propping our country up so high, it’s becoming an idol.
So many Christians are hiding from the world and waiting for Jesus to return.❤ This is not what Jesus told us to do. Matthew 28:18-20 LSB - 18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to keep all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Yes, thats all indeed true, Jesus its a sign for the end times, ans many folks arent ready and still deeply asleep, #WakeUp! Thanks for sharing brother, and Blessing to all that Love God as your Savior Amen!!
I stopped social media because of this.. I started in the last two days watching RUclips videos, but they have to be about God from people I trust love the Lord, and I saw this man preach, and he wants people to turn to Jesus Christ. I missed what the email was to email. If you read this, sir, I've got serious questions, and they aren't about the end unless that's how others may look at it, but it's not.
Yes stay awake Jesus spoke of love and not fear. Evil feeds on fear and all this stuff about end times is about fear not from a god of love. Love gratitude peace to you and all Life. All is One Life. Raising the frequencies of Love joy and harmony. We are Light. ❤️
Very interesting and also 1. Matthew chapter 24 2. We are already in the tribulation 3. A certain person (we don’t say the name) will bring a False peace 4. Jesus is the Cause of Armageddon 5. True Christians will be extracted before that war 6. Jesus’ return is with vengeance
The path of any other two previous eclipses have probably crossed each other before. So is God done with whichever nations those were over? LOL That conclusion is just ridiculous! God bless you, Granger. 🙏
I honestly think, not saying it is but my opinion is the Enemy is trying to scare people! I have been raised in a Christian home, and this is just my opinion.
I learned so much by watching the episode. Granger, how do you remember all that you do?? And your vocabulary!! Really enjoyed you going through these videos. There were parts that made me laugh from the reactions on your face while you listened. 😂
I truly believe that all people have the right to their own opinions, but I don't care to see fearmongers spreading their beliefs on others knowing it is gonna scare a lot of people especially when it is only to fatten their pocketbooks. I was always of the belief that God put the sun in the sky to divide the day in two light and dark not as a further sign of doom. I'm quite sure when the end of time has come we will know without a sign in the sky. I loved your summarization of this video. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
i believe the Bible says Man will not know when the end is coming therefore for always keep you heart ready I am now 72 and lived through several predictions that end was here But yet here we are still
It’s entering into Jonah Texas, and it’s going through 8 Nineveh cities to repent. The aleph and the tav- his signature is going to be in the sky for sure. And it’s crossing in the middle at little Egypt
In your comment about the gospel being Proclaimed in ‘all nations’, it’s not saying every corner of that nation specifically. Right? So, recently, after (my rebirth day of 50 years is this easter) I met someone who said they had NEVER heard the gospel before. I was shocked. How could someone life in this nation and not have at least heard it before? But there we have it. So when it says ‘every Nation’ is it saying every person of every town or city of every Nation has to hear it first, or just that it’s ’reached’ that nation. Just a thought
But you will know the time ,even almost at the door, Mathew 24:33 great job bro, God bless you . Too many baby christians are so lost , being taught nonsense from so many so - called preachers . Let the holy scriptures speak , not doctrines of men . Peace be with you all , in Yashuas name . Mathew 24:29-35
God created the solar system and said he uses for signs… then wrote about the signs. Just because scientists know when solar eclipses will happen and how they work doesn’t mean this isn’t Gods plan…
As a Christian, I try to live each day as if Jesus could come back any second! I do not worry about when it is going to happen, just that I know it is going to happen. He tells us in His Word to not worry, to be watchful! Be ready!!!! April 8th is my Birthday, I am going to concentrate on God giving me another day of life!
Happy soon to be birthday. Have a piece of cake for me.
Happy Birthday 🎂 in Advance
Happy almost Birthday Sue, I pray it's a blessed one.
Happy birthday mine is the 7th Sunday 🎉 36😊😊
Thank you everyone! And Happy Birthday Sunday Joshua!!!
I was working for Florida Department of Health in the early 2000's and we had 4 hurricanes that made a cross a cross Florida and 5th hurricane that went across Florida horizontally. The scientists have predicted that Florida is going to sink into the oceans for a long time. Florida has not sunk.
I know that God is in control, only God knows when Jesus is coming back.
You are doing a great job explaining the signs of the end of the time.
Our focus should be on leading others to Jesus and showing His love to those who desperately need it! Let's leave the rest up to God!
Amen
LOL. Hate to break it to you but outside your little Christian bubble most non-Christians in the USA see Christianity as a source of oppression, hate and tyranny.
A true Christian should not be concerned about this solar eclipse. If your ready, your ready...if your not, your not. I, personally am not concerned about the eclipse. My life is prepared and ready when the Lord is ready. Worrying is a sin people. If your worried about this eclipse your life is not ready for Christ's return. I don't put any worth in these "Tick Tockers" or people on "You Tube". I put my worth in Christ alone. Look forward to Monday mornings with you. YeeYee, much love to you & your family.
As Christian's, we shouldn't be worried about the time of course, just be ready, because there are many Christian's are very apostate. Don't worry about the time, but we should know or how to identify signs. There are more things going on or planned for on the 8th than just the eclipse. They may not mean anything, but in these days, they could. Bottomline, evaluate your life's and stay ready
Amen!
No one is perfect, except God. Temember Jesus came to forgive us of sins. Please don't be mean.
You're*
That's what Satan wants you to do... Don't watch... Don't care... He wins.
Granger, I rarely watch podcasts but something about your voice. I can actually sit down and watch them. Much love Granger YEEYEE!
Hey Granger, I just have to say I am not much of a podcast person. But the ways you sit down and explain things out for us is what I really appreciate. Thank you and keep up the great work
I appreciate that!
Granger Im autistic and I would like to be a guest on your podcast that is one of my bucket list items YEEYEE
Guys, Here is The Savior
HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH”
YaH is The Heavenly Father
YaH arrives via the TENT OF MEETING
YaH was Who they Crucified for our sins
YaH was Crucified on an Almond TREE
- Ancient Semitic Cuneiform of Moshe (Moses)
- Isa Scroll (The Original Isaiah)
Isaiah 42:8
"I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.”
Isaiah 43:11
“I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me.”
Isaiah 45:5
“I am YaH, and there is none else.”
It's clear as day we're in the end times. Whether the solar eclipse is the start of some major event is minor in comparison to the fact that Jesus could take his bride at any time and we need to be spiritually prepared.
It’s very dangerous what people are putting out for people who don’t know or understand the Bible or God. Thank you for making this video addressing this bogus information. ”“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.“
Matthew 24:36 NKJV
The end of times are exciting don’t get me wrong but don’t be deceived!! Jesus will come back when the time is right! ❤🙏🏻
🙌
But you will know the time Mathew 24:33
@@DeletedUser73926 how about the jews ? They dont believe in Jesus , therefore are not Gods chosen or his people . They are antichrist 1rst john 2:22
Amen!
I recently saw a video from a woman who said she had a dream about God. She said in her dream, God said we should live like He is returning in 2 minutes
Theres no rapture it's not biblical and God was saying to be diligence and continue to spread the gospel by sharing what being and living as Christ looks like,let our life be a testimony, the antichrist satan himself comes first before the true Christ returns, Christ returns after the revealing of the son of perdition and the son of perdition is the devil satan himself playing h8s role as Christ returned
Not one or three, you clown.
Viewing Eschatology as a distraction? That's an interesting perspective. Jesus spoke a lot about the end times. If 1/3 of God's Word is prophetic in nature, that tells me it's important. One of the problems with pastors today is they are topical teachers who pick a topic and then selectively choose scripture to apply to their message. I appreciate pastors who are Bible teachers, and teach the entire word of God, verse by verse. There's so much hype about the solar eclipse because there's such a lack of good Bible teaching in the churches.
Excellent podcast Granger, I pray this goes vital. True Christians will be rooted & grounded in His Word to keep their faith & trust in God of what's to come. Love your channels, love your family & love that you all live out your faith. ❤🙏🥰
I take my comment back from 7 hours ago. It was too early in the morning to listen to the guy on the first video. His off the wall-ness was aggravating. Came back to this podcast and thank you that you preached it.
Short answer is nobody knows. However, we are in the final minutes of the last act. Unless one ignores 1/3 of the Bible. It's pretty tough to not see.
A shorter answer is yes we do. It's an eclipse. It happens.
Thank you Granger. There is so much false teaching and nonsense on social media and, as followers of Jesus, we need to be able to identify the lies. The only way to know, for sure, that something is a lie is if we know the truth, God's word is the truth.
Amen... take it to the Bible 🙏 🤲
Yes!
Nope, the world is not coming to an end. God is definitely up to something, and it will be glorious! Just live your life surrendered to Him! Deny yourself, pick up your cross, and FOLLOW HIM!! Let His image be formed in you, let your/His light shine in you, and through you, manifesting Him, His presence in all that you do with love and compassion
Not with selfish motives or condemnation. His love conquers ALL.
God bless you all! He rules and reigns now and forever!
I'm sending this video to some family members. They have piunded me about the end times and how we are there and I'm not being serious. And if I'm a Jesus follower ..... well I am a Jesus follower. But I don't live in fear of this. They send me videos all the time and talk to me all the time about the end times. I'm dwelling on each day doing what God tells me to do.
I always believers in Jesus Christ as my life and Only His knowledge when or time soon the Second Christ coming . We the people don’t know when yet.! Keep focus on Jesus and prayers daily. Also prayers for forgiveness and repentance before it’s too late ⏰.. my experience about face to face appearance from Jesus…
Love your witnessing and speaking The Truth, and calling attention to such important matters according to The Word of God. Thank you for loving us with The Truth. 🙏💜👑
Great way of putting it. Loving us with the truth!! ❤😊
The amount of effort these people put into signs and wonders could be used to lead people to Jesus! It’s so clear that we won’t know the time or day and that we aren’t promised tomorrow so make the decision to live for Jesus and let him take care of it.
As far as Breaker goes. He’s an amazing preacher. He has taught me more more about God than the people in my life has ever. One thing I was blessed with his discernment. And I thank God for that. When you take all of what America is doing, all of the sin against God America has created now put it with the solar eclipse tomorrow put that on top of everything that’s happening in Israel with the red heifers which is biblical by the way, but with the statute of liberty getting struck by lightning and the earthquake and Lebanon, New Jersey to some kind of sign from the Lord . America needs to repent and we need to worship God again as a nation a nation, without God will not stand America will fall. I truly believe America is Babylon. We are going to fall.
Doesn’t matter to me because I’m ready to go! Can’t wait for our Lord Jesus to come back and get us!! Want be long gang just make sure your house is in order!! Rather you go by the grave or in the air be ready!! None of us have the promise of tomorrow!!!
Granger Smith. You have been my favorite country artist. I'm happy you have taken to religion. In the early 90's I read the Bible every day. Said the rosaries. I said my morning prayers. Prayer before a meal.
I was accused by my 8-year-old niece. That I touched her. As fast as that happens. It went away. Last year, Mom said I'm not acting like myself. She and my sister took me to a spiritual healer. He said I had three evil entities. The next day. Went back to have them removed. Mom asked me how I felt. I told her I felt happy. Then she told me what I had done. I told her, why do I feel happy. If I did all that?
She said I stole her & boyfriend's money. But, I don't remember doing that.
My family doesn't trust me. Some even stopped talking to me. I was never close to my family. I tried getting into the Bible. But have trouble. I want to read about Wiccan. And become one. Someone told me Jesus is lord and God. I told him. How can he be both father and son? They said in a different Bible. Jesus and God are the same. I refused to believe.
When I read the Bible. I read up to Psalms. Read all the gospels. And the book of Revelation. I was devoted to reading the Bible.
I tried to follow the ten commands. But it was hard to. But I kept going.
Years later, I had an accident. I suffered a head trauma. I looked up to the sky. And said, God, I ask only three things from you.
One protect my family.
Two protect my friends.
Three leave me alone.
I didn't talk bad about God. I just didn't want anything to do with him.
But, that reminds me of the lost lamb. Jesus went after him. He never left me alone.
But, now I need help getting back to the Bible.
Thank you so very much. With love for God and you and your family.
Armando.
Thank you Mr Granger, feels good to see a follower of Jesus, be honest, and teach what the word says
It is so true that we will not know the day or the hour but the Bible tells us we can know when we are in the session, it will be like birthpangs like a women in labour. Like it will be in the days of Noah and the days of Lot and we can clearly see that we are in that session. And yes there has always been wars and earthquakes but the Bible says when All those things happen all at once then we should look up for our redemption draws near and the Bible says we should comfort one another with these words, so I just want to confort everyone that we don't need to have fear because God does not give us the spirit of fear but of peace and of a sound mind. So yeah I truly believe that we are at the beginning of the birthpangs which are getting stronger and stronger but as children of God we should differently be watching and waiting for Christ return which is the rapture. And again we have nothing to fear if we have Jesus.
I think I heard this on your show, but I’m not sure. It goes something like this: Christians should spend less time arguing about the second coming of Jesus and spend more time talking to folks about the first time. When it comes to this matter, what would God have me do? It’s pretty clear. He wants me to be ready, always, not just when unusual things are happening. If I’m truly doing all I can to serve Him, that really doesn’t leave me with much time to get lost in discussions like these folks are doing. If we’d read the story of Noah and learned the lesson there, we should be more concerned with ordinary days than we are with weather anomalies.
Picked up prescriptions today, planning on stocking up flour, oatmeal, potatoes and rice.
“She laughs
I’m so glad we have a guy like granger smith to give some true explanation to things that some people are worrying about. It makes me sick thinking that there people trying to force Jesus on everybody. Thank you so much Granger for what you do keep it up brother.
Came across this video. First three or four sentences and discernment kicked in for me immediately. You are definitely quenching the Holy Spirit with your rhetoric and finger pointing. How do you know that a person might be led to Christ through these other person's videos? Unless someone is blaspheming or a false teacher or spreading false prophecy it's probably best to keep your mouth shut. I'll pray for your haughtiness and pride and that you will find true discernment. God bless!
Yikes. That’s harsh.
We are still here y’all. 😁
Who said the eclipse meant Jesus was coming?
The eclipse on April 8 has undeniable biblical references and the numbers that are associated with it. From the full moon in February 2/24 to April 8, 2024 is 40 days. From April 8, 2024 to May 18, 2024 is 40 days. May 18, 2024 is Pentecost. This is not coincidence. God is warning the US.
Jesus second coming occurs after the 7 year tribulation. The start of the 7 years occurrs when the Antichrist makes a peace treaty with Israel and then halfway through, breaks the treaty.
Christianity us not a religion, its a personal relationship with our heavenly Father and his son Jesus christ.
I know for certain we are one day closer to Jesus coming back 😊We should always live as if he is coming tomorrow. But he did give us signs of the end times, it’s in the Bible. I think that means we need to get our butts in high gear and start being the best disciple’s and repent.
I loved this episode! There is so much false stuff on social media these days, and lots of people believe it. I'd love to see more podcasts like this ❤
I didn't it was awful
Thank you Granger! All true Christians should know this verse!
Matthew 24:36
But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
Not the day or hour but the season
The world didn't end. The eclipse was uneventful.
My people perish for a lack of knowledge. Discernment is given by the Holy Spirit and knowledge of Gods Word.
I love Granger. He has an amazing testimony.
Thank you Granger for helping me get through this darkness and helping me see the light. I’m very fortunate that God led me to your Channel. Like again Granger Thank You.
Everything must come to pass; for the NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH.
Thank you, I was wondering about all this, and the lord put on my heart, or reminded me, no one knows the time or the hour
i lost brain cells listening to the solar eclipse dude 🤦🏼♀️
One thing that has always been a mystery to me was the response of the King of Nineveh. Just "out of the blue" an itinerant preacher shows up and pronounces judgment on this city. And the whole bunch of them fall on their knees and repent????!!!!!!. Either Jonah was some preacher or there may be a few pieces of information that we do not possess.
A total or near total eclipse occurred in Nineveh on June 15, 763 BC. Some scholars believe that this may have shortly preceded Jonah's visit. There may have been an earthquake sometime around that as well, and one of their enemies to the north was beginning to make threats. We cannot categorically link all three of these conjoining forces, but conjecture will allow us to surmise that something "out of the ordinary" was happening there.
When Jonah preached "Forty days and Nineveh will be destroyed," he struck a nerve. (Jonah 3:4) We can probably accurately proclaim that God had paved the way for this preacher. The people were ready to hear the message that they probably even expected.
Is our country in a similar situation? Not to say that Jonah is coming, but we do have prophets in the Scripture who warn us about continuing to flaunt our rebellion and flout God's laws?? Absolutely! Maybe we could be so bold as to say we flaunt our flout. But I digress.
When asked about a sign as He discussed coming judgment, Jesus specifically mentioned the sign of Jonah. (Matthew 12:39) He went on to explain the three day correlation, so we cannot ignore that in our interpretation. But we are not precluded from seeing other signs. If you recall, the Crucifixion was accompanied by a "darkening of the sun" for three hours. Definitely not an eclipse, I would conclude. But the sun was gone.
And there was an earthquake. Again, this correlates somewhat with what we know about history. So, if a prophet told us that the Lord was coming soon, how should we respond? Jesus said that the men of Nineveh, Sodom, and Gomorrah would rise up in judgment of the generation that rejected His testimony. And we have more knowledge than either Nineveh or Jerusalem.
It’s apparent that God uses the sun as a warning to Gentile nations like Ninevah. Ninevah was trying to divide Israel. The US in September of 2020 wrote a “peace” treaty with Israel that has caused nothing but to escalate existing tension in Israel. God isn’t happy about the US trying dividing Israel. Yes, it looks like peace but it’s all about war. Who authored that treaty in September 2020 called the Abraham Accords ??? I’ll let you do the research on that.
It is time to wake up. The Lord is coming. Maranatha! I'm ready, are you?
Good mornin!! ☕️
I am so excited about your giveaway! I know it’s random but I feel lucky. I have watched your channel since 2021 when I started up my crocheting again! You were such a help to me for sure. I was taught by a friend before I had internet back in 1990ish. Gave it up for 20 years and then I found you. Congratulations on 1 million!
Many people are stupid. Instead of trying to find signs they should learn the context of the Bible. To read a bible that shows the different languages meaning of words doesn’t describe the context of the words, the real meaning of passages. Meanings of words have varied through the biblical time. No one knows the “When” just as Jesus stated. Thanks Granger for helping people understand what Paul, Jonah, Jesus & God said. I love that you encourage people to have faith and that God loves us. Keep helping people understand God’s love and Jesus’ grace.
I believe the gospel has been spoken to all nations. The nations being the far places that the 12 disciples reached. They reached all the chosen people (Jews) who had scattered to all ends of the land during that biblical time. Paul didn’t die until he reached Rome to share the word of Jesus. Rome being the last nation that needed to be reached.
You don't have to be worried. Just be alert ....
This is great food for thought. There are some sketchy escapologists out there but there are also some good ones. I highly recommend the Troy Brewer video “I Got to tell Michael Knowles about the 2024 Eclipse!” It’s fascinating, with a great perspective from Troy. He is a very reputable pastor, author from Texas. I’ve been to his church. Yes, we are not to be fearful but we are to stay alert and awake. God gave us signs for a reason.
As far as the science behind the videos, he’s talking about, he’s right, an eclipse just means the Earth is in the presence of shadows, either on the Earth, or the moon, based on the relationship of the moon and the sun, and they hit the Earth all the time I think with the guy in the video was talking about was Not that they’re really happening more frequently it’s just we’re getting them in areas where people are seeing them more often, like this eclipse, and the one a few years ago are going right through the middle of the United States, and our ability to fully experience a major eclipse is more frequent Because now we’re seeing two major eclipses across the United States within a few years to where, before usually had to wait 20 or 30 years, but Grangers right they’re not happening more frequently.
There is some relevance to it. The Bible does talk about some things like the return of the nation of Israel, and increases in the frequencies of some natural disasters like earthquakes for instance, and those are things that can be verified scientifically that we shouldn’t ignore, the frequency of earthquakes since 1948, has increased very rapidly , and there are other signs like the phrase drying up and new Rivers popping up in the middle of the desert in those areas of the Middle East, and there are things that we should consider, to completely ignore them as an attitude that confuses me because God put that in the Bible for a reason. I don’t think we should obsess over these things but I do think it’s good for us to know and understand God‘s word completely so when these discussions come up, we’re not coming from a place of ignorance and we won’t be drawn to false prophecies, or confused or worried about these things, because we worry about the end times whether it’s happening now or not. We understand God’s word understand these things fully then it happens in 2000 years or it happens this week it’s not gonna be a surprise it’s not gonna be as confusing and distracting to us.
I’ve studied it intensely and think I have a pretty good understanding of it and I’ll still watch someone preaching on it and listen to what they say and hold it up against God‘s word in doing that. It’s just not as big of a deal to me. If Jesus calls us to heaven today I’m great with that and people argue about pre-trip or midrib or post trip, if you know what’s gonna happen and how it all ends up and what you need to do, it makes all that less confusing either way. So in understanding it to me, it doesn’t matter if it’s Post trip pre-trip mid trip, I know what I need to do either way and it is what it is but if it happens in our lifetimes, those who understand it aren’t gonna be running around like a chicken with their head cut off, trying to figure it all out at the last minute, because the truth is when you’re talking about Dozens of prophecies and revelation and references throughout scripture trying to put it together. It’s a pretty huge puzzle and it’s not something you’re gonna figure out in 30 minutes and you can cover most of it in maybe 3 to 20 hours but dash will study it, and understand it Could take years and that’s why we don’t just read and study the Bible for year and then think we’ve got it all figured out and go on with our life. We keep studying it and not just eschatology but everything. I’ve been studying the relationship with Jewish people in light of what’s been going on For the last year over there and I was somebody who had been studying this for 30 years and as I keep going back to my Bible to try to figure things out I realize that there are things I’ve read repeatedly that I’m just now understanding. I’m scrambling understand our relationship through God with the Jewish people, and finding that it’s just as intense and takes hours and hours and hours of study, and even after decades of being a Christian and hearing sermons on this stuff and reading it before I never realized what a huge connection and how critical it was to Christianity and who Jesus Christ is, and our relationship with him, it is our history history. It is how we know Who God is and his nature. That’s a more acceptable concept in the theological communities but for some reason a lot of people just throw eschatology or the study of the end times out the window and I get that it’s confusing and hard to understand but it’s a huge part of God‘s word, and, I don’t see how people can justify saying it’s somehow irrelevant or we don’t need to know about it and we should just blow it off and ignore it.
It’s like everything else in the Bible. Of course we shouldn’t obsess about it and get all distracted with it but we shouldn’t ignore it either and the truth is it’s more relevant now than I’ve ever seen it before when I studied back in the 80s and 90s it was interesting but it didn’t seem like anything that would ever unfold in my lifetime , now watching the world today and reading through these prophecies in the book of revelation, it’s like watching the news it’s unfolding right before our eyes. That doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen this week, and it may not happen for 1000 years, we don’t know, but Understanding it makes absorbing everything going on in our world right now a whole lot, less confusing and a whole lot less-scary. I don’t think we should be learning it from Internet shorts but it’s a pretty relevant thing in society at this point and we should understand these things especially if we’re going to watch these videos and discuss these topics that are being discussed an increasing rate these days.
As far as eclipses in general, they were mentioned several time in the Bible, including the crucifixion, and God‘s word does talk about signs and wonders and wonders in the heavens, so I think it’s something that Christians should study should understand that way when they see all these videos on the Internet, number one understand what most of these people are talking about and number two and more importantly, they see through the mistakes, and in some cases deceptions. And honestly, I’ve got no problem with this guy in the first video or people talking about these things and I think it’s good that people are questioning whether or not events going on in the world right now are biblical and talking about God and salvation and even if they’re getting it wrong or just asking questions at least they’re thinking about it instead of ignoring it and as Christians it’s a good thing if we understand this and are able to answer peoples questions and understand the parts of it, we do know and the parts where it tells us there are things we can’t knowahead of time. It was important in us for Jesus to speak about it frequently, I don’t see how we can think it’s a good idea to ignore it.
I've been through so many ends of the world for the strangest reasons. The solar eclipse has happened many times in my long lifetime. The conjunctions with the planets in alignment were supposed to pull the earth apart. 2000 was supposed to be the end all be all. Just watch the shadows during the eclipse. Fascinating. By the way I loved your Jerusalem series. Thank you.
THANK YOU, GRANGER! I am always telling people who try to predict the end times WE WILL NOT KNOW. ONLY GOD THE FATHER KNOWS! This eclipse is not much of a big deal to me. I love how you explained all 4 of these videos away.
We will not know the day or hour but we are to discern the season.
Form someone that hasn't been to a church since I was a kid or a funeral, just a guy that lives lol, all this eclipse stuff is beyond bonkers to me. I donno what's goin on but people needa calm the F down and just be freakin normal.
Remember everyone the world was going to end in Y2K lol I was like 10 watching the ball drop and was scared to death but we’re still here 24 years later
The question of when Jesus was coming back has always been a question all the way back to the disciples of Jesus and the first church.
In Matthew 24:42, Jesus Christ says, “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” He repeats this statement again in Matthew 25:13. What did He mean by this, and what exactly should we be watching for?
In order to understand these statements, we must get a little bit of context on the conversation Jesus was having with His disciples. In the first few verses of Matthew 24, the disciples were sort of "showing off" the magnificence of the Temple, which stood in Jerusalem at that time. Jesus told them not to be too amazed by it because it would eventually be destroyed (it was, about 40 years later).
It seems this took the disciples back a little bit, and perhaps they took some time to think more deeply about what Jesus said. They came to the realization that there were more important things in life than the physical buildings there in Jerusalem that they had admired so much. Perhaps this was on their mind when they came to Jesus a little later, outside the city and asked in verse 3, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
Jesus sensed a change in their attitudes and saw a teachable moment. What was His answer to their question? Verse 4 tells us: “And Jesus answered and said to them: 'Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, "I am the Christ," and will deceive many.'”
This was likely not the answer they were expecting at the moment. Perhaps they were hoping He’d give them a physical sign, or perhaps even a timeframe or date for His return. Instead, He warned them not to be deceived. In fact, He goes on to warn them again in verses 23-26, “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.”
In addition to spiritual deception, Christ mentions that there will be disturbing events occurring on the world scene: “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places” (Matthew 24:6-7).
This indicates that along with spiritual deception, there will be political and military conflict, as well as environmental disasters such as famine, pestilence and earthquakes. From there, religious persecution will quickly follow (Matthew 24:9-10). These will not be small localized issues, and in fact, in verse 8, we’re told, “All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Things will get so bad and so widespread, that, “unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved…” (Matthew 24:22). This time is referred to as the "great tribulation" in verse 21.
Because we’re warned about these widespread events, the command to "watch" includes to being alert to newsworthy events happening in the world we live in. When we see major shifts in the political climate, and see nations jockeying for position and preparing for war, we must take note! Likewise, we should be alert to potential biological and environmental disasters that we are told will happen in the end times.
Later, in verse 29, Christ does mention some physical signs that will be visible IN THE HEAVENS 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
: Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” Note that this is immediately after a difficult time known as the tribulation (again, see verse 21), and just before His physical return in verse 30: “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” While there will be signs in the heavens before Christ’s return, these occur just prior to His return, and after the great tribulation.
We absolutely are to be watching for these events!!! Jesus said it. It helps us to be prepared and to help prepare others!! We must be watching for these end times events. They are happening more frequent and growing in intensity. Look at our world??! The events of Matthew 24 are playing out right before our very eyes!!!
I'd love to see another episode in this format with a guest like Berns
Granger bringing Truth and Logic! 👊🏼
The world has been coming to an end over the last 2,000 years. 2012 was the last one.
What makes America so special. Seriously, why is it that we get a solar eclipse…. And the world is ending. We are propping our country up so high, it’s becoming an idol.
Amen!
Thank you sire! You are oh, so Loved!!
Love this! Praise God!Thankyou!❤
So many Christians are hiding from the world and waiting for Jesus to return.❤
This is not what Jesus told us to do.

18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to keep all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
As a Christian I am not worried about an eclipse. No one knows when Jesus will come. I'm ready so I'm not worried.
Yes, Granger...eclipses arent just happening, but this kind in particular hasnt happened un along time. We should know the signs though or be aware
X also marks pirates treasures 🤷♀️ not always bad
Yes, thats all indeed true, Jesus its a sign for the end times, ans many folks arent ready and still deeply asleep, #WakeUp!
Thanks for sharing brother, and Blessing to all that Love God as your Savior Amen!!
Been the end of the world,since the beginning of the world
Saw you Interview on TBN and Truly blessed . To know God is to know his words. Reading my Bible from Today 1st April 2024.
Only God knows the day and the hour.
This is up to God.
The bible tells us not to worry about predicting the time.
Thank you Granger for always leading us right back to the gospel. ❤😊
I stopped social media because of this.. I started in the last two days watching RUclips videos, but they have to be about God from people I trust love the Lord, and I saw this man preach, and he wants people to turn to Jesus Christ. I missed what the email was to email. If you read this, sir, I've got serious questions, and they aren't about the end unless that's how others may look at it, but it's not.
Short Answer: No
Long Answer: Nooooooo
Such a great podcast today!
Yes stay awake
Jesus spoke of love and not fear. Evil feeds on fear and all this stuff about end times is about fear not from a god of love. Love gratitude peace to you and all Life. All is One Life. Raising the frequencies of Love joy and harmony. We are Light. ❤️
love your show ... great channel
Thank you, Granger ! ✝️
Amen, thank you!
We should be concerned about other people that don't know Jesus so share your relationship to Jesus
Hey Granger, Thank you! From someone who was starting to get sucked into some of this, thank you!
Very interesting and also
1. Matthew chapter 24
2. We are already in the tribulation
3. A certain person (we don’t say the name) will bring a False peace
4. Jesus is the Cause of Armageddon
5. True Christians will be extracted before that war
6. Jesus’ return is with vengeance
The path of any other two previous eclipses have probably crossed each other before. So is God done with whichever nations those were over? LOL That conclusion is just ridiculous! God bless you, Granger. 🙏
No the world will not end during this event, too many unfulfilled prophecies to happen first.
Thank you Granger! There are so many false prophets in this world. We have to be awake!
I honestly think, not saying it is but my opinion is the Enemy is trying to scare people! I have been raised in a Christian home, and this is just my opinion.
If god wants us gone so be it but the end of the world won't be fir a long time.
I learned so much by watching the episode. Granger, how do you remember all that you do?? And your vocabulary!! Really enjoyed you going through these videos. There were parts that made me laugh from the reactions on your face while you listened. 😂
I truly believe that all people have the right to their own opinions, but I don't care to see fearmongers spreading their beliefs on others knowing it is gonna scare a lot of people especially when it is only to fatten their pocketbooks. I was always of the belief that God put the sun in the sky to divide the day in two light and dark not as a further sign of doom. I'm quite sure when the end of time has come we will know without a sign in the sky. I loved your summarization of this video.
God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
First time watching, and wow. I never knew that Tom Brady was tearing up tik tokers like the jets defense.
lol. What 😂
i believe the Bible says Man will not know when the end is coming therefore for always keep you heart ready
I am now 72 and lived through several predictions that end was here
But yet here we are still
Thanks for your hard work. I am happy to have discovered your channel. Subscribed. Much LOVE.
This is a uplifting message. Amen!!!
It’s entering into Jonah Texas, and it’s going through 8 Nineveh cities to repent. The aleph and the tav- his signature is going to be in the sky for sure. And it’s crossing in the middle at little Egypt
Only the father knows the day, so why worry... remember Y2K
Thank you for teaching the truth
Jesus is coming back very soon and we are in the last days.
In your comment about the gospel being
Proclaimed in ‘all nations’, it’s not saying every corner of that nation specifically. Right? So, recently, after (my rebirth day of 50 years is this easter) I met someone who said they had NEVER heard the gospel before. I was shocked. How could someone life in this nation and not have at least heard it before? But there we have it. So when it says ‘every Nation’ is it saying every person of every town or city of every Nation has to hear it first, or just that it’s ’reached’ that nation. Just a thought
This is why I got off social media
Thank you Granger
But you will know the time ,even almost at the door, Mathew 24:33 great job bro, God bless you . Too many baby christians are so lost , being taught nonsense from so many so - called preachers . Let the holy scriptures speak , not doctrines of men . Peace be with you all , in Yashuas name . Mathew 24:29-35
In the Book of Jonah, only 3 pages long. Our Father gave them 40 days to repent before destruction. They fasted and prayed and he spared them
What was said in the beginning of the vid, was 💯! People not using their on board computer to process the information.
God created the solar system and said he uses for signs… then wrote about the signs. Just because scientists know when solar eclipses will happen and how they work doesn’t mean this isn’t Gods plan…
