Dr. Cucuzza in an excellent teacher/preacher. As bad as hell will be, I believe the worst past will be never having access to God. Never knowing his perfect love and spending eternity worshipping him and learning who God is in all his perfection. When I was a young Christian I feared hell. But, as I grew in my faith. By reading the word, praying, and learning from the Holy Spirit I have a much deeper understanding of the Lord. At times a feel his presence so strongly it feels as if my body will break with excitement. God is so wonderful. Praise the Lord for all eternity.
Thank God for loving man so that he gave his only Son Jesus Christ to be their Saviour and he waits, longs that man would trust in Jesus and when anyone by faith they trust Jesus Christ as their Saviour he saves them that moment forever and become a child of God. Thank Lord Jesus for saving my soul, making me whole. Thank you for giving to me thy great salvation so rich and free. God bless brother and continue to proclaim the gospel message of Jesus Christ so people can be saved.
I am encouraged by the teaching in this church . I trust Jesus Christ alone for my salvation and thank the preachers for explaining once saved , always saved . Again , thank you for the clear teaching . As for the pre Tribulation Rapture ... Am trusting Him for the timing on that . We are in the latter days , for sure , and time is short .

The body of Christ will be caught up first. Anything other than the catching up ("rapture") BEFORE Daniel's 70th week is Roman Catholic doctrine (see catechism 675). The true catching up destroys romanism. The false "pre wrath" teaching was only first postulated by Marvin Rosenthal in 1990 and is also easily refuted by scripture. Arguments below....please use the KJV or textus receptus equivalent as new versions come from the vatican, see Nestle Aland / UBS novum testamentum graece 27th edition page 45 for proof. 1. The purpose of the tribulation period is for Israel. Daniel 9: 20-24. It's called the time of Jacob's trouble and concerns Israel and Judah. Jer 30: 4-7 See 2 kings 17: 34 2. There are no references to the church in scripture during the tribulation period. Revelation 4: 22 etc. 3. The church is promised exemption from divine wrath. 1 thess 1: 10 ; Rom 5: 9 ; Rev 3: 10 4. The catching up is a comfort. 1 thess 4: 15-18 5. The antichrist cannot come to power until he who letteth is removed. 2 thess 2: 7 Refering to the body of Christ. 6. God does not pour out judgement on righteous people. Genesis 18:25 (KJV) That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked ... See 2 peter 2: 5 etc 7. There are saints in heaven, wearing crowns, before the tribulation period starts. These crowns are given at the judgement seat of Christ (rom 14: 10). 8. Converts in the tribulation period are living in another dispensation. Rev 14: 12 9. Church age believers cannot be placed in a situation where it's possible to take the mark of the beast because we are sealed with the Spirit until the day of redemption Eph 4: 30 and guaranteed salvation John 10: 29 Nothing can separate us from the love of God, Romans 8: 38-39 yet taking the mark of the beast clearly will do just that, revelation 14: 9-11. Without the mark of the beast (rev 13: 16) nobody can buy or sell but a christian must provide for his family (1 tim 5: 8) so if the church were on earth in the time of Jacob's trouble, what is a christian to do? God is not the author of confusion 1 Cor 14: 33 10. Matthew 24 is not written to the church (see matthew 23: 37) but to the jews (see references to the keeping of the commandments) in the last 7 years. Also: no mention of resurrection of dead saints in matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 17, Luke 21, because these verses are about the 2nd advent. Compare them to 1 Cor 15: 52, 1 Thes 4: 16. The resurrection of the dead was already revealed by Jesus in John 11: 25-26 before it was revealed to Paul who wrote 1 Corinthians and 1 Thessalonians. Why then did Jesus not mention the dead being resurrected in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 17 + 21..? Because there are two separate events: the catching up of the church and the 2nd advent of Christ. 12. 1 Cor 15: 51 says " 1 Corinthians 15:51 (KJV) Behold, I shew you a mystery; ....". If Matthew 24 were about the catching up, it wouldn't be a mystery. Why did Paul never warn the church against taking the mark of the beast? For example in 2 tim 3:1 etc there is no mention of it while he does mention perilous times in the last days. The angels preaching the gospel in Revelation 14: 6-9 cannot be preaching to the church because they'd be cursed according to Galatians 1: 8. See also Revelation 14: 12 : to be saved people in that dispensation must have the faith of Jesus AND keep the commandments of God. In this time period (dispensation) we are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3: 28. In revelation 7 this is not true for the 144000. See also Galatians 6: 15 Ephesians 5:29-30 (KJV) For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
I watched this just for the explanation of 2Thes 1:7. Commentaries seem to avoid it. Thanks and God bless you. Nice chart/diagram too. Thanks for showing/ presenting the gospel. I’ll see you up there.
I absolutely love this Preacher. Thank you Lord Jesus for this ministry ❤️

the wrath of God abidith on those who believe not!
no greater truth was ever spoken!
Thank you for expounding 2 Thessalonians 1 which is day 291 on our NT all year reading. What a powerful message!
Definitely the most powerful study I have done with you!
Can you show me a verse in the scripture that says rapture then tribulation then the coming if Christ

Hello, I was introduced to this church from Yahoo Answers. Good sermon
Cool! 😎
Oops, I think Pastor Thomas meant to say Unbelievers at Transcript 47:17-47:27
2 Thes 1 & 2 are describing the same event as 1 Thes 4.
