Before you read the Bible, you must acknowledge that it's the word of God and ALL OF IT IS TRUE. Then as you read , ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. You will find that many of today's churches are not according to ALL of God's word.
Just because something is hyperbole doesn't mean it isn't true. The antichrist is described as a dragon at one point however are we to believe it is a real flying dragon or on reference to something else? Or when Christ is described as a lamb, are we to believe that He actually wasn't human, but a lamb??
The word of God will always prevail and remain intact, but this does not mean people cannot corrupt their pen in copying from the preserved sources because they were not entrusted the truth in handling the scriptures. 2 thess 2:7 is a prime example of corrupting the pen and unfortunately it is a universal mistranslation. Some copies correct others corrupted pens but all english copies have this error unfortunately. But can be corrected if they were willing to admit their errors. 2 thessalonians 2:1-8 (when correctly translated and interpreted) 1.Now we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, 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 the Lord is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a apostasy 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. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what restrains(neuter vs.3) that He(Messiah Yeshua) might be revealed in His time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he(the antichrist) who now restrains(masculine) will do so until out of the midst he comes into being. 8 And then shall he be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness(glory of the Father) of His coming

October 23, 2020. My daughter and I were watching a movie when God put us into a sleep. I was given ears into heaven and heard a shofar trumpet sound! I was told, “Prepare. Ready yourself!” My daughter and I awoke at the same time, grabbing one another’s hand and saying, “The Trumpet!!!!” Then I asked, “how did you hear what I heard?” She said the Holy Spirit told her that it sounded prior to waking. Last week, as I slept, I dreamed. In the dream, I looked into the sky over a desert land. I saw a lion and dragon fighting in the sky. I don’t know what it means. But they were fighting like something I had never seen before. Holdfast. Jesus will keep those that abide in Him.
I get so fatigued with all of these vague visions and dreams. You may have experienced what you experienced, but I just wish that it wasn't all so vague. There's nothing ever definitive with detail. It's always big picture vague generalities like, "Jesus is coming! Prepare!", or, "Ominous things are approaching!", or, "The hour is coming!" We know that. It doesn't take a vision or dream to tell us that. Give us details if we humans are being given visions! Tell us something like, "Grey aliens are part of the serpent's agenda to create hybrid human beings (this is directly referenced with regard to the seed of the serpent mixing with the seed of mankind but not cleaving to one another, aka children are being produced without marriage) and they will soon land and openly display themselves to humankind and they will claim to be our creators and you must prepare to resist by memorizing these particular scriptures and working out your body so that you're strong enough to make it through these times which are coming in 1.5 years and will start in the city of Albuquerque!". That's the kind of details we need in these visions, dreams, and prophecies!
The lion was Jesus. He is The Lion of Judah. He first came as a lamb. The next time, He will return as a lion to war for His people and His bride. The dragon is Satan. There is a HUGE battle between the 2 of them for the soul of humanity going on in The Heavens. He wins!!! Thank you Jesus for paying the price a long time ago!
@educational4434 God asks us to have FAITH. We do not deserve all the answers laid out like a map, we serve God not the other way around. An example, God told me after a month of praying about buying a violin, God told me to stop looking and someone would give me a children's violin (I'm a very small person so hindsight was this made perfect sense for my frame) and I didn't ask for more details, it's my business to trust God and watch him work! And guess what? A week later I was talking to a client about violins and she stops me and tells me her daughter has a violin and wants to give it to me because she doesn't play anymore! God is literally so good, God gives us foresight for his Glory not our satisfaction. God also asks his people to stay on guard and stay awake for the day he knocks at the door. These people's visions and dreams are to alert everyone and remind them. Stay awake for the day our master returns.
There have been about 70 generations since our Lord died for our sins. Each generation has tried to decipher the end times. If you think of it that is thousands of thousands of Christians have gone over the scriptures for a explanation . None have succeeded. Only God the Father knows and he aint telling yet. In the mean time I will put my soul in Gods hands, my heart in my faith in the Lord Jesus and trust the Holy spirit to get me through today. Tomorrow Ill do the same. Gracias Jason Vaya con Dios.
But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase. Daniel 12:4 And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; Acts 2:17 It is the time for knowing things...the book is being opened.
Here’s the deal. Every single generation since the crucifixion has believed they were the generation who would see the Glory of the Lord coming on the clouds. We just don’t know folks. That being said, there are a lot more pieces of the puzzles in place now than have ever been in history. So best I can tell you is put your trust in Yeshua! Put your life in HIS hands. Repent and be mournful of your sinful nature. Love HIM. HE will take care of you and you will have peace, love, and everlasting life!
@@PPCalvinist Dear PP Calvinist, Please start a utube video explaining the scriptures. I would listen to you sharing the truth of God's Word. Thank you
@@PPCalvinistyou're right, people can. However many people like myself don't examine and study as deeply as Jason does, as originally mentioned by Patti. When I read I just kinda read and I think of how what I'm reading is relatable to me in any way. For me, if I don't truly understand what I read when I read it then I move on and just know that it isn't for me to know yet-whereas something else is. Considering that it's obvious that we cannot learn and know everything at once, so we must pick and choose what we want to learn and I trust the Lord enough to teach me by guiding my wants. My wants are not my own and no matter how much I read and study, I can't examine it as deeply as Jason does. So I listen and follow along with him
young man, I appreciate your zeal, however, I think you need to keep reading the Bible . Do some more study. The Generation that was spoken of in the Fig Tree prophecy, is the generation that sees Israel restored to a nation. I think you. need to be very careful with that word."hyperbolic'. God, the Creator, does not speak in Hyperbole.
Funny how when someone says something you don't believe in, you automatically claim he hasn't read his Bible enough. Truth is, he has and he has come to a different conclusion. Scholars have been debating these ideas of prophecy for millenia. It's incredibly narcissistic to assume that he doesn't read his Bible enough because he has come to a different conclusion to you.
Daniel 2 and 3 shows that “the great tribulation” is a repeating theme that happens when God’s people fall away. You see the pattern throughout Jeremiah, with false prophets telling people who were committing abominations that no trouble would come upon them. (Then God sends the abomination that causes desolation, to force people to choose Him or a false God. This happens many times throughout history.) One was set up in Daniel chapter 3 that they were told to bow to or get thrown into the furnace, and that abomination signified the golden head of the statue in Daniel 2. There was another set up during the Maccabee rebellion, which was before Christ came. I personally think there’s some major assumptions being made about what Joel was talking about, especially since Peter quotes Joel 2 in Acts 2 at Pentecost, signifying THAT was the day (at least in part) which Joel was prophesying. Joel is very likely talking also about the great and final tribulation also… (which the clay feet that won’t mix with the iron represents)aka mystery Babylon. The Roman armies after Jesus’s time likely represented the Iron legs, not the clay feet, which is the FINAL tribulation: “As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.” Daniel 2:43-44 NKJV The DECEPTION is going to be so great and it wasn’t yet qualified to happen in Paul’s day: “Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. … The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” II Thessalonians 2:1-4, 9-12 NKJV The church was just being built in the first century. To say the great falling away happened then… idk. I think that judgement came for the Jews not accepting them, not what will come upon those who fall away from the deception that is to come. They weren’t even facing any deception like Christ describes. The final ‘Babylon’ really looks to be literally a global government when you look at Revelation 13 with the mark of the beast, which I really doubt happened yet, and most scholars agree was written after the tribulation of the first century. The remnant are also the ones who are not deceived by the deceptive teachings, lying signs and wonders that will be in the last days (sounds a lot like deep fakes and the nature of things we are just starting to see now. Respectfully, just a few things to think about, Jason. I think there were too many pieces missing for the tribulation of the first century to be the great and final tribulation in my opinion. I recommend checking out Michael Heiser on the topic. He is extremely knowledgeable and covers all different viewpoints about the tribulation and also end times. Thank you for the content though. I’ll continue looking into it. God bless.
As you have already commented on the cyclical nature of the falling away of Gods chosen priesthood as documented throughout scripture beautifully I’ll only offer this extra relating to the temple. The temple is sacred space wherein Gods chosen meet with Him. We see the temple defiled over and over in scripture as well, going along with the falling away/apostasy of the people. The end times defilement of the temple is connected to the last falling away prior to Christs return in which He cleanses the temple for the last time. Those who have crept in unawares, that have been preordained to this condemnation will be shaken out during the Great tribulation of the End. This is the final destruction of the temple wherein Gods people will be refined through fire to be made ready for the groom. A bride made perfect through sufferings that come when the dragon is cast out and gives his power to the beast who will set up the abomination of desolation in the temple/Church. This future abomination will be the last whoredom we see take place when Gods “people” (pretenders) lift their skirts for the beast and are impregnated with his seed because they didn’t love the truth. The church will worship the beast and God will preserve a remnant. The majority will worship the beast from fear and the overspreading of abomination. This is why we must prepare spiritually to stand during tribulations. Time is coming when no man can work.
When you enter a theory with the mindset that this is the way things are...... And that's all that you're going to see..... I think this speaker is trying to get us to understand a way of looking at it that the possibilities are different from our preconceived notions... Once you have the mindset that the feet of clay are symbolic of a certain thing that's what you're going to keep in your mind .. That's all I'm saying😅
I think you're going in all of the wrong directions My opinion I guess we'll find out soon cuz Jesus is coming back and it's it's very much closer than we all think see you in the clouds 🙏🔥☝️
I like where you are going with this. It is often assumed that the "Olivette Discourse" was all about the end times in our day, when clearly as you are pointing out, much of it happened in the past. The exaggerated language has to really be understood by the Spirit, and in the light of the rest of scripture, remembering first and foremost, that the Bible is a spiritual book. You are doing a fine job of explaining that with the whole of scripture. Jesus spoke to everyone in parables, but would explain the mysteries to his disciples. That being said, Jesus probably still left them scratching their heads after this discourse.
This is a false teaching and twisting of scripture. So many things wrong here that it would take a lot more space than what is acceptable here to examine in detail. However here are a few key points... #1 We are to rightly divide the word. Jesus was addressing the disciples who are Jews and what he describes in the latter part of Matthew 24 is specifically for the Jews in the Tribulation, not for the church. The Tribulation (also referred to as Daniel's 70th week) is twofold, when God's wrath is poured out on a Christ rejecting world and also for the salvation of the Jewish nation as God's covenant with Israel still stands until all is fulfilled following the Great White Throne judgement. #2 If this were referring to the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D. and the persecution of the church (which has been ongoing and continues to this day) then where is the Antichrist? The mark? The one world government, economy and religion? The 10 Kingdoms and 10 rulers? The two witnesses? The angel flying in the midst of heaven warning those on the earth not to receive the mark? Where is the blessed hope and promise that the church(those who are born again) are not appointed to wrath? If the church is here in the tribulation then why is the church not mentioned once from the beginning of Revelation 4:1 until the end when the church returns with Christ at the final battle? Why does scripture describe us being "caught up"...( Harpazo in Greek, Rapturo in Latin... from which the scripture was translated into the English language ) to meet the Lord in the AIR, whereas in the Second Coming Christ returns to earth (the very mount of Olives to be precise) to establish his millennial reign from Jerusalem? Why would Jesus "go to prepare a place for us" if he were simply returning to the earth at the Second Coming? Sooo many things off here. #3 Scripture interprets scripture and is not of any private interpretation. There is a very severe warning to those who would add to or subtract from the book of Revelation (Revelation 22) Not to be taken lightly. I pray that you will seek the Lord on this matter and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to you. Though it is true that all scripture is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness, not all scripture is written specifically to us in the age of grace... the Bible doesn't contradict itself and we are told in it that it is dispensational (the exact word dispensation is used several times) and needs to be rightly divided. God's word is revealed to all those who are born again by the indwelling Holy Spirit and is not only for the scholarly or intellectual. The word tells us that mans wisdom is foolishness and throughout scripture God chose people of low degree or educational level to communicate His plan to or message and were used mightily so that there would be absolutely no debate that it was God at work and not philosophical men. This is not meant to discourage, only to present the truth of God's word. I pray the Lord will increase your understanding as he so graciously has mine and many others the past several years.
Brother, first let me say that Jesus has prepared a place, but we don't occupy that place until after the millennial reign, and the great white throne judgement happens. You are confusing events. You will find it hard to believe unless you actually only seek truth, but the rapture of the church doesn't happen until Revelation 11:18. Regardless if you want to believe it or not, we are not escaping what is to come. You need to start preparing yourself to decide whether or not you will take the soon coming mark. We are already in the first 1260 day count. Don't believe me, just watch Israel. And another thing, Jesus most certainly was Jewish, but He was speaking to the founding fathers of the Church at the Olivet Discourse, not just some jews on the street corner. Your POV is very wrong concerning that. We Christians are grafted into Israel, we are all going through this together. What armies are coming against the Antichrist if only the jews were to go through the 7 years. Pre trib is a completely false teaching
Check out pastor Bruce Gores youtube web page and his series on revelations , it really opened my eyes and made sense of it, more so than the endless speculative theorising that goes on with the futurists view ,and the date setting that inevitably comes with it....Kenneth Gentry is another teacher on Revelations worth the listen...you will be blessed...btw Jason is doing a fantastic job here, he's applying the right hermeneutics giving clarity to an otherwise difficult teaching..note, it is easier to deceive someone than it is to convince them that they have been, and we have all been deceived on this topic
Rev 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. Rev 6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. Rev 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. Rev 6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. Rev 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. There will be worldwide tribulation my friend. Peace, PTT
The same is taught aby a dear pastor named Gilberto Rufat. He has done deep studies on certain topics concerning end times. In Matthew 24 He explains the same you have explained Jason but more detailed and how what it is written in Matthew 24 was the fulfillment of what is written in the book of Daniel chapters 7, and 9. May God grant us time to diligently study Matthew 24, as sadly we have been lied to or perhaps the people who taught us this were taught by other people who lack biblical knowledge and discernment.
Preterism is an honest way of reading the scriptures, taking into account audience relevance and the many imminent time statements… I love it ❤ God bless you ❤
The whole world will be tempted... the Wrath of the Lamb... the Righteous Judgment... the Judge/ the SWORD is amongst Men... Harken unto the voice of the LORD... Amen!!!

Oh my goodness. 😑 Evidently you don't realize Biblical events are cyclical. We get foreshadowing of events yet to come throughout the scriptures. You really should pray for guidance and discernment. ✝️🙏❤️🔥🇺🇸🇮🇱🙌
@AboveReproachMinistry I think he means there is a season where a few generations experience hard events that tries the heart of God's people. It happened in the past and it will happen again.
@@AboveReproachMinistry yes, each generation repeats the same mistakes taught by the paid for false leaders of Satan in churches built by the hands of mankind. HIS people DIE from lack of knowledge. Absolutely nothing NEW under the SUN. It is all perpetual Sin from following the HERD of false prophets of Satan.
The trouble moment is has come on Satan we the true church will set free from the yoke of influence of evil . This was a testing for Us the born again believer in the works of salvation was to believe Jesus, that He was in control of the ones He has called to this test. No time as this
@@angelocaponeasjerrylewis1580 life and sin is already a test. The tribulation is not a test - stop it, the test goes to whole humanity because his love and hope was to save us all, but not everyone will flee from sin and will endure the test. The tribulation is for the lost ones and maybe a last warning for those who strayed away from their faith.
@@mythocrat not disagreeing with you but testing will have its place for faith and His love for us all is for all but He has called a church to serve Him . Stop what that you telling me to stop the great commission of salvation and that He’s coming. Though we don’t know the day and hour doesn’t stop the church to continue to tell love God for His humanity .
Scripture should interpret scripture With child like faith we can read scripture and take God at his word , There is no pretribulation rapture, Matthew 24 is for us today and is a warning not to be deceived by false teachers claiming to be of Christ and those claiming to be Christ, and the end would come ( his appearing ) emediatly after the TRIBULATION of those days , And then His WRATH would be poured out, 😮
No because the biblical great tribulation happened in the first century in the years leading up to the utter obliteration of Jerusalem and her temple in AD70… God bless you ❤
With everything that’s been happening the last few years it really surprises me we still have amills and postmills, surely the Lord is separating the wheat from the chaff….. Premill Pretrib Calvinist! Doctrine matters, Do Not Be Deceived like this guy. Maranantha Rev 3:11
Matthew 24 verse 3 is the disciples asking Jesus several questions, not just one. Jesus goes on to give them very detailed answers and much of the answer is things that will happen that aren't to be taken as signs. Keep in mind that it wasn't just about the 70ad event but that it was also about His second coming and the end of the world, which is really the beginning of the new world for everyone in Him. There's thousands of years apparent in Matthew 24. Paraphrased "All these things but the end is not yet". The mysteries are revealed through the Epistles and Revelation. If you are applying Matthew 24 to your paradigm without consideration of Romans 9 10 and 11, you are doing so without one of several key mysteries revealed.
I’ve listened, and I hear your points, and yes it’s seems accurate for Jesus’s direct audience regarding their times, however I believe it’s both. There are layers in prophecy, and foreshadowing. It’s evident just by reading Revelation, and Daniel. Certainly you’re not proposing otherwise.
A lot of my Power come up upon you because this is a second time you told Mi the truth and be wise, there is not a lot of people telling the truth as you do and yes I see your cloching but even thou not many are such that are willing telling the truth You Did BRAVO!!
🔥👉These came out of the GREAT TRIBULATION😮👉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? 7:14 And 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. 7:15 Therefore are they before the 👉throne of God, and 👉serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
How do you explain historically Matthew 24:22? And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened".
"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. (2 Peter 1:20 KJV)" All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:::: (2 Timothy 3:16 KJV)" "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:25-28 KJV)"
Can you give an example of Jesus over exaggerating or making a border line misleading statement? To make that statement Jesus would be minimizing the flood as well as the end times. Matthew 24:21 [21]For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Exactly. For me it is either an innocent misunderstanding or just blasphemy (if it is intentional to say Jesus is exaggerating). How come God says something will be the worst as people has never seen before and the person says it is a hyperbole? Hopefully this guy will realize he is misleading people with such a statement.
16:51 those who have ears to hear let them hear and those who have eyes to see let them see The ground will move God's vengeance will be swift and mighty
you are right again! We have been lied to about the great tribulation and it's very hard to see the truth when we are convinced of a lie. Keep at it, you will discover that preterism is the only accurate biblical eschatology, the last days/end times was for THEM not US. I'm so excited to hear you speak about these things because you have a much bigger following than the other teachers I listen to. One final point..."heaven and earth will pass away" is ALSO hyperbolic, apocalyptic metaphorical language. Read Isaiah 13 for proof; a whole bunch of earth shattering world ending apocalyptic language, and then verse 17 describes what is actually happening. Thank you!
Matt 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Many people are confused by this verse because they do not recognize the Hebrew idiom “heaven and earth.” It is a compound metaphor that God used to refer to the agreement between God and the people of Israel (Jacob’s descendants), or the Mosaic covenant. Moses told them, `When thou begettest sons and sons' sons, and ye have become old in the land, and have done corruptly, and have made a graven image, a similitude of anything, and have done the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him to anger: -- 26 I have caused to testify against you this day the heavens and the earth, that ye do perish utterly hastily from off the land whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it; ye do not prolong days upon it, but are utterly destroyed; (Deu. 4:25-26, YLT) What would testify against them? And it cometh to pass, when Moses finisheth to write the words of this law on a book till their completion, 25 that Moses commandeth the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying, 26 `Take this Book of the Law, and thou hast set it on the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and it hath been there against thee for a witness; (Deu. 31:24-26, YLT) It was the law, the Mosaic covenant which God called “heaven and earth” that was to be the witness that would testify against the people. It was symbolic language for His creation of His people (Isa. 51:13-16), the agreement between God and Israel (Ex. 19:5-8) When God prophesied in Isa. 65:17 and Isa. 66:22 that He was creating “new heavens and a new earth,” He was not speaking literally, but covenantally. The immediate sense was to re-establish the covenant with Israel upon their return from the Babylonian captivity. The fuller sense was looking forward to the new covenant He would establish under the gospel of Christ. The Jews used the phrase “heaven and earth” to refer to the temple where God met with man. One of the meanings of the architectural symbols and elements used within that temple represented the literal heavens and earth of God’s creation. (1) (2) Therefore, Matt. 5:18 is understood in the language of the first century Jews as “till the Mosaic Covenant pass…” or “till the temple passes…” That was what they would have understood from the phrase “heaven and earth.” Jesus was not speaking of the literal heavens and earth of the literal cosmos. That temple “heaven and earth” passed away at its destruction in AD 70 by the Romans whom God used to carry out His judgment against those wicked who had crucified their promised Messiah. And, that old covenant that was waxing old (Heb. 8:13) when the book of Hebrews was written in about AD 65-66 was completely fulfilled by and through Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins. Those were the last days of that old Mosaic covenant. Our new covenant with YHVH is under the gospel of Christ, and He is our only sacrifice, our only way to our Father in heaven (John 14:6).

I pretty much agree with everything you said, but my understanding is that heaven and earth refers to the actual people of God, or the Israelites, not the covenant. So when it says there is a new heaven and earth it means that God will have a new chosen people, specifically all believing remnant Jews and Gentiles. In the end they both happen simultaneously, new covenant new people, but I've just never heard it explained as the actual covenant. It really is difficult to wrap our 21st century brains around some of this language! Thanks again
@@marybethpatrick2303 I think "Heaven and Earth" may refer to both; from a reading of 1st Chapter of Isaiah, where the prophet addressed Judah & Jerusalem as "Heaven & Earth. "Hear O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For the Lord has spoken" Vs 2.
@@Denise0752 thanks for that, I have heard that as well and it is not found in scripture, but it is found in the writings of Josephus, not the War book but the one about their history. I will say that in the time period we live where everything is exact, it is pretty difficult to understand a lot of the language in the bible. But I do believe that's the key, most of it is not literal but rather metaphorical apocalyptic. Thanks!
So you are sowing doubt in God's word? Scripture is inspired by God and God does not exaggerate. The great Tribulation is in the end. Put your books together. Just because you can not image such things does not mean it isn't so. GOD's thoughts are not our thoughts and GOD'S ways are not our ways. You young man are leading people astray.
Since Jesus suffered so much to give us eternal life why would he not allow us to go thru part or all of the tribulation. I have just started this video so I'm looking forward but wanted to ask that question or present my thoughts. Any feedback from anyone would be awesome.
I use to think about the pre -trib, but after many years now of study, prayer, and searching the Scriptures, it seems obvious that we will go through the Times of Tribulation, but we are not destined to the Time of Wrath.
It blows my mind that when it says the tribulation in Matthew 24 will be greater than anything that’s ever been upon the Earth you insist that Jesus only meant Jerusalem, so if the words on the page don’t mean what they say how are we supposed to know what they mean? we need people like you to tell us what they mean? so somehow you have the authority on what the Bible actually means rather than what it actually says… Do not be deceived for many false teachers will be in the last days and my friend you are one of them, please get your doctrine straight because prophecy is not poetry nor is it allegorical, and the devil is loose and he hates us and he knows his time is short…. Guard your hearts Church it’s getting bumpy.
That's crazy people automatically took this guy's word as correct just because he said so, yet ignore that Jesus made it clear that it will be the worst that the world has ever seen.
I disagree. When the Bible uses hyperbole it doesn't bother to tell you, it assumes you know; but when it is being literal it DOES tell you - like "...such as has never been nor ever will be again..." - that is being explicit. Implicit would not use "has never been nor ever will be."
Your "eyes" are being opened to truth!! 🙏🙌 Many wont believe you because they dont want to recieve truth. They hold tight to what they have been taught wrongly and wont open themselves so the truth can be revealed to them. I had to humble myself and allow the holy spirit to teach me and bring me into truth 👂
Hey Jason! Thank you so much for studying n teaching. I have had a gnawing feeling that we are going to go thru part if not all if the suffering of the tribulation period. I was always taught pre-tribulation. But not so sure anymore. Please tell me how to find the previous videos u mentioned watching b4 this. I looked but didn't see "tribulation" episodes. If u can show or tell me which ones. Thank you n thank you for serving the Lord! I admire u so very much for ur obedience to Our Savior. Please pray for me n my daughter that she will be saved n that I set an example...
My Dear Young Brother, I have respected your teachings thus far and particularly valued your textual expositions. However, as an elder in the Body of Christ, I would urge you most earnestly to remove these erroneous teachings and to convenene in prayer with The Father. The Bible is the inerrant Word of God and it is not a book of hyperbolic innuendo. You have a very special anointing on your life. Please do not let your flesh rob you of the Work of the Holy Spirit in you. Said with much love in Christ.
I know you will attack my comment with great fervor but Mr elder in the body of christ you and most everyone else dont even know the name of the Father or the savior! I urge you and everyone else to truly seek the true name of our heavenly father because calling on his true name means everything. You can throw any and everything against me but this truth stands! Please seek the true name of the Father!
Matthew 24:5 Many will come in My name, saying , "I am the Christ." and will deceive many. Alluding to exaggeration and over expounding in the scripture is tantamount to accusing Yehovah of bearing false witness. I would be very careful about delivering your untutored and imbalanced ramblings on a public forum in exchange for the odd few bucks.
The tribulation in my opinion is on the evil against the ones who sold their souls to evil and this is the last call for salvation but in meantime the great awakening has come in the Book Revelation for us the true church to sound the alarm and to continue the great commission of salvation for the lost and the Church that has been decided by false teachings in the church. Revelation is talking to the churches the lost is lost and the other side of the coin the book is talking about the taken down of evil. God is pouring out wisdom and discernment in this day, my yoke is easy to receive it’s time to ask.
I believe everything that the young man is teaching is spot. I have believed the same teachings for many decades. I believe it's you that doesn't understand the scripture. Time for you to go back to the drawing board
If you examine the scriptures properly, you will see that Mat 24 is about the coming tribulation. Luke 21 though is about the destruction of the temple in 70AD and it is said that not one christian died during that time as they adhered to the Word of God.
There will be "Great tribulation" during that 7 year period which is called in the bible as the time of "Jacob's trouble" which is 7 years. It does not say "The Great Tribulation."
With all due respect you are wrong on a few key points. I would save you a lot of time and just tell you to watch Chuck Missler on the Oliver discourse and you will see the difference between Luke and Mathew. No they are not the exact same chronological order in both gospels. God Bless
Matthew 24:34 34 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.. Is referring to all the things he said from verse 5 to 33. That generation who sees all these things will not pass away until they all come to pass. Those are the signs of the times and the sign of His coming. he's letting them know when it'll happen when the generation that sees all those things see them, they are the final generation. He says the abomination of desolation that Daniel spoke of refers to a very specific event. Paul refers to him in second Thessalonians as the Lawless one. He is a man that will set up an image of himself in the temples holy of holies. That's when those who are in Judea should flee to the mountains and not Terry before doing so.
There's a saying that goes, "If the plain sense makes sense then there is no other sense, lest you end up with nonsense." How do you gather that Jesus is using exaggerated language? Because if he's being literal then your eschatology is destroyed? So we just make up something like calling plain language hyperbole so you can keep your false doctrine? Classic eisegesis everyone. WTG! Bravo! You just succeeded in misleading God's people.
Young man I've studied the scriptures for nearly 40 years. I see your mixing stories that have nothing to do with each other. You have a great responsibility when teaching GOD'S WORD to others. Do not take away or add to the scriptures. You use the term i believe often and this is were you need to be careful. Keep studying. GOD BLESS YOU
Heaven and Earth to the hebrews was where they interacted with God ,"when Heaven was brought to Earth: at the temple , so Heaven and Earth passing away meant The Temple, which happened in 70 AD , New covenant , New Heaven, New Earth :)
Guys help me here. Since he does not number his messages I’m unable to find the videos he tells us to watch b4 this one regarding the end times or the great tribulations. Any ideas on which is #1#2#3 etc?
Satan has done a great job but your word exposed him so that we would never be deceived help us to have boldness when we come before thee because of what the blood of Jesus done for us
The word of God is perfect. Please read the interpretation pastor Allen nolan from cornerstone fellowship of the olivet discourse. It is pretty accurate.
Thank you. I'm enjoying your teaching very much. Have you ever heard of the teaching The 7 Mountain Mandate? I believe we are to take back Gods kingdom work here on earth. That the evil are soon to be removed.
Damnable heresy. Not at all supported by scripture and actually twists the entire biblical account around. This is part of the New Apostolic Reformation false doctrine.

Be careful, read the verses again without this guy leading you into such thought. I am not saying no one is right or wrong, just read with discernment, it is quite easy to be deceived (even innocently) when someone is reading FOR you and interpreting on the go. Read with patience and try to see if Jesus, who has the knowledge of heavens would "exaggerate" about the tribulation when He also said that "like it has never happened before and never WILL be greater tribulation than that". There is no hyperbole, Jesus is clear.
Simply not true. Jesus is referring to the great tribulation before Jesus returns in the clouds. Read till the end of the text. Matthew 24:22-27 NKJV [22] And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved (referring to the tribulation at end times); but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. [23] “Then if anyone says to you (not talking to the 4), ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. [24] For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. [25] See, I have told you beforehand. [26] “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. [27] For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
shalom brother so what that said do you think any of this is likely to happen again in our lifetime or are you saying that the Bible as we know it is just a history book and should be followed to come in to salvation 🙏🏽☝️✝️🆙❤️
Oh man I have loved your content but you are really losing me here. God would not allow hyperbolic language in His word. It's really sounding like you're twisting things to fit a narrative. If there is hyperbolic language then the whole Bible could be. Then it would be worthless.
@@GuessWho-y9q may I ask, why you believe God wouldn’t allow hyperbolic language in His word? That’s one of the primary tools the prophets utilize. It’s an understood fact among scholars and translators of the original language that hyperbole is absolutely utilized in scripture.
@@astrialindah2773Peter is not the rock. The rock upon which Christ will build His church is the truth that Jesus is The Christ, The Son of The Living God.
Hyperbole is a common occurrence in the scripture brother. Lk 14.26: “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters-yes, even his own life- he cannot be my disciple.” Does Jesus literally want us to HATE our mothers and fathers? No, we are commanded to love our mothers and fathers and to provide for our families. This is clearly hyperbole. The love in which we love our family should look like “hate” compared to the love that we have for Christ
@@ogloc6308 Symbolism and hyperbole are integrally distinct. Hyperbolic language is by definition an obvious exaggeration or overstatement. By considering a claim or statement to be hyperbolic, you’re asserting the statement isn’t meant to be taken seriously or literal. Symbolism, on the other hand, is a much better way to understand not only the points you’re making, but the Bible in general. Symbolism doesn’t inherently imply an exaggerative interpretation, that shouldn’t be taken seriously or literal. Instead, it allows for deeper meaning and truths to be illuminated.
I will not bend God's word to fulfill my understanding. Rather, I will bend my understanding, to God's word. Tribulation to whom? That nation born of Jacob, or that "Church" formed by Jesus? I give you the horrendous persecution of true believers in Christ., since Jesus Christ. The Great Tribulation involves the Abomination of Desolation, which is, worshipping "other" gods, or ideals, or philosophies, Other than the True GOD., which is CHRIST.
That 70 week count in Dan 9 repeated a second time in 1535 when the Ottomans also made a decree to repair Jerusalem, building the walls that surround it today in 1538-1541. 62 weeks after that decree, Jerusalem was reunited with Israel, fulfilling that part ‘built in times of trouble’. Then 7 weeks later, at the end of 69 weeks, we all witnessed that great sign in Virgo from Rev 12 that depicted a human birth of the messiah, the child. That was on 9/23/2017. Another piece of this puzzle is confirmed later in Dan 11 where the last colonial power invades the Holy Land and pitches its tents in Jerusalem between the seas. That occurred in 2018 when Trump, the little horn and man ‘o sin, moved the embassy there in 2018. Very next verse says ‘at that time, Michael stands up. That also confirms the second timeline. Jesus did fulfill and was the one cut off who was confirming a new covenant and during that last week, he disrupted the sacrifices. His death effectively ended sacrifices with even rabbinic sources saying the Yom Kipper sacrifice stopped being confirmed by that sign of a cloth turning red. He did come at precisely the right time and was cutoff halfway through that last week if he died in 30CE as most scholars believe. This pattern is a chiastic prophecy like ABCBA. It’s seen in many places all over the scriptures. With this second count, the timeline to both advents is revealed. Because there was always a second, the ‘time, times, and half a time’ along with 1260, 1290, 42 months, and even the 3 1/2 days the two witnesses bodies are displayed publicly all represent that missing time after the crucifixion. Even 1260 and 1290 is not a contradiction adding the extra 30 days to align the lunar calendar with the solar. The average of the two is 1275 which is exactly 3 1/2 solar years. So no reason to think they are literal. It’s saying the AoD would be here since the crucifixion. This can be seen in the 3 1/2 days the bodies are disgraced and one can be seen in every Catholic Church since. The AoD is the lie that god is so brutal he demanded blood to absolve his anger. False image and an idol that has ruined god’s reputation since. Dan 12 says it won’t be completed until the power of the people is finally broken. Here we are now, in the very last year of that second count. We’re on the cusp of the power of the people finally being broken. Michael has been here since 2018 and all hell has broken loose ever since then with weather events, Covid, wars, and famine. We’re already in that tribulation period and god returns to judge the nations beginning with Israel and stripping her naked for all the world to see.
@@ShamelesslyRed that’s a great question. The first and primary way to determine that is to examine the context. This includes the literary context. The historical context. The cultural context etc it’s really helpful to know the biblical genre of whatever book you’re reading and then compare scripture with scripture always. If a literal meaning of the verse seems absolutely ridiculous, just dig a little deeper and examine that text from a different angle
In times of tribulation there must be. Victims and executioners. Who do you think is the victim in our time? If Jesus came in our time. With whom would he be? If Jesus himself. He is the one who. Prophesied the destruction of the temple. Twice. Do you think he is happy about this. Prophecy? It seems from the texts that Jesus is angry about the owners of the temple, so much so that he mourned the city of Jerusalem. He said, Jerusalem, you killer of the prophets and messengers. We notice that Jesus is always unhappy with this, who refused to believe in him, describing them as an evil, immoral generation. You sons of vipers. How. Will you escape the wrath. To come? Do you think, my boy, that the children of Israel in this day will be victims of the professions, or are they. Who causes tribulations for others?
First there is no THE great tribulation. Man added THE. Why would He mention that it would never be that bad again. If it’s at the very end, why would He add that last part? End of the age and very end of time are two different Greek words. Why don’t we take Him at His word. He said “this generation” many times. He never said “THAT” generation.
May I suggest that youvactuallyblook at the original language when studying so you can see more clearly? Psalm 93:1 for example, is not what you think. The word there for moved quite literally means to totter or slip out of place. That clearly leaves all other options open as to the earth being destroyed by God in a willful act of judgement and wrath. That verse in Psalm 93 is simply saying it will never accidentally slip from where God has placed it.
John 14 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. If you aren't keeping the covenants of promise (Ephesians 2:12), you will NOT receive the spirit of Truth. Keep the 10 commandments and eat clean. If you don't, you have the antichrist spirit of error (aka the spirit of stupid).
The Bible says in John 16:33,,, These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.,, IN the world ye shall have tribulation:,but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Only those who keep the commandments of men and the rudiments and tradition's of the world, will have the tribulation, for the Bible says that Men will die for the problems that the man of the abomination that maketh desolate, causes,,hey you can see it happening already.
Christ would not tell Jacob His name in Genesis 32:29. In Judges 13:17-18 He told Manoah His name was a secret. At the very end of the Book at Armageddon He still has this unknown name (Revelation 19:12). It is His new name; the name of God that He will write on us (Revelation 3:12) when He returns. Which means this name is not in the Bible. If Christ returned 1,954 years ago in 70 AD, then by now preterists should be able to tell us what this name is...but they can't. And if He returned in 70 AD, by now, preterists should be calling Him by this name...but they don't. When a bride takes her husband's name it's not a forgettable moment. Jesus said we must forgive our brother until 70×7. After 70 weeks we get sinless bodies & we won't be sinning nor will our brother which means forgiveness between us won't be needed then. 70×7 obviously hasn't passed yet. In Zephaniah 3:8-9 it says we will serve the Lord with 1 consent & 1 pure language when He returns. We've had multiple consents (denominations) & multiple languages (doctrines) since the 1st century. In 1 Corinthians 11:26 it says communion is to be done until the Lord comes. If He came back in 70 AD why do preterists still take communion? At Christ's return, the 7th trumpet blast happens & "time is no longer". Yet for centuries now, preterists (and every one else just about) have & continue to use calendars & clocks.
Revelation 7v9-14, then read Matthew 24v21. Suffice to say, its the same greek term 'mega thlipsis' or we say (the) great tribulation. "All nations, kindreds, peoples, tongues. " Not just Jews, as told by some prophecy teachers that 'Matthew is addressing a Jewish audience , and so its written for the Jews during the tribulation, and can't be about us gentiles being in the tribulation, as the church has been raptured '. Make it make sense from a pre tribulation church rapture view. 🤔 And if you say ' these are people who believed after the rapture, then who told them the gospel? how can they believe without a messenger? Pretrib has to stretch every text beyond its intended meaning. P.s. there is only one sign Jesus points to: the clouds and Jesus coming on/with them. The other things mentioned are birth pangs. But the head coming out of the woman is the sign a baby is coming,
Before you read the Bible, you must acknowledge that it's the word of God and ALL OF IT IS TRUE. Then as you read , ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. You will find that many of today's churches are not according to ALL of God's word.
Just because something is hyperbole doesn't mean it isn't true. The antichrist is described as a dragon at one point however are we to believe it is a real flying dragon or on reference to something else? Or when Christ is described as a lamb, are we to believe that He actually wasn't human, but a lamb??
The word of God will always prevail and remain intact, but this does not mean people cannot corrupt their pen in copying from the preserved sources because they were not entrusted the truth in handling the scriptures.
2 thess 2:7 is a prime example of corrupting the pen and unfortunately it is a universal mistranslation.
Some copies correct others corrupted pens but all english copies have this error unfortunately. But can be corrected if they were willing to admit their errors.
2 thessalonians 2:1-8 (when correctly translated and interpreted)
1.Now we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, 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 the Lord is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a apostasy 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.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what restrains(neuter vs.3) that He(Messiah Yeshua) might be revealed in His time.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he(the antichrist) who now restrains(masculine) will do so until out of the midst he comes into being.
8 And then shall he be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness(glory of the Father) of His coming

October 23, 2020.
My daughter and I were watching a movie when God put us into a sleep. I was given ears into heaven and heard a shofar trumpet sound!
I was told, “Prepare. Ready yourself!”
My daughter and I awoke at the same time, grabbing one another’s hand and saying, “The Trumpet!!!!”
Then I asked, “how did you hear what I heard?”
She said the Holy Spirit told her that it sounded prior to waking.
Last week, as I slept, I dreamed.
In the dream, I looked into the sky over a desert land. I saw a lion and dragon fighting in the sky. I don’t know what it means. But they were fighting like something I had never seen before.
Holdfast. Jesus will keep those that abide in Him.
I get so fatigued with all of these vague visions and dreams. You may have experienced what you experienced, but I just wish that it wasn't all so vague. There's nothing ever definitive with detail. It's always big picture vague generalities like, "Jesus is coming! Prepare!", or, "Ominous things are approaching!", or, "The hour is coming!" We know that. It doesn't take a vision or dream to tell us that.
Give us details if we humans are being given visions! Tell us something like, "Grey aliens are part of the serpent's agenda to create hybrid human beings (this is directly referenced with regard to the seed of the serpent mixing with the seed of mankind but not cleaving to one another, aka children are being produced without marriage) and they will soon land and openly display themselves to humankind and they will claim to be our creators and you must prepare to resist by memorizing these particular scriptures and working out your body so that you're strong enough to make it through these times which are coming in 1.5 years and will start in the city of Albuquerque!". That's the kind of details we need in these visions, dreams, and prophecies!
The lion was Jesus. He is The Lion of Judah. He first came as a lamb. The next time, He will return as a lion to war for His people and His bride. The dragon is Satan. There is a HUGE battle between the 2 of them for the soul of humanity going on in The Heavens. He wins!!! Thank you Jesus for paying the price a long time ago!
@educational4434 God asks us to have FAITH. We do not deserve all the answers laid out like a map, we serve God not the other way around. An example, God told me after a month of praying about buying a violin, God told me to stop looking and someone would give me a children's violin (I'm a very small person so hindsight was this made perfect sense for my frame) and I didn't ask for more details, it's my business to trust God and watch him work! And guess what? A week later I was talking to a client about violins and she stops me and tells me her daughter has a violin and wants to give it to me because she doesn't play anymore! God is literally so good, God gives us foresight for his Glory not our satisfaction.
God also asks his people to stay on guard and stay awake for the day he knocks at the door. These people's visions and dreams are to alert everyone and remind them. Stay awake for the day our master returns.
Seekers keep seeking. The 7th day adventists has the right end times eschatology.
@Setapartbytheking as long as jesus is our savior, whom is right or wrong matters not, ONLY that we may be right before the lord our God
There have been about 70 generations since our Lord died for our sins. Each generation has tried to decipher the end times. If you think of it that is thousands of thousands of Christians have gone over the scriptures for a explanation . None have succeeded. Only God the Father knows and he aint telling yet. In the mean time I will put my soul in Gods hands, my heart in my faith in the Lord Jesus and trust the Holy spirit to get me through today. Tomorrow Ill do the same. Gracias Jason Vaya con Dios.
Interesting that it is being mentioned about 70 generations the Book of Enoch describes the watchers being imprisoned for 70 generations.
This is it ❤ dios es amor
But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.
Daniel 12:4
And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
Acts 2:17
It is the time for knowing things...the book is being opened.
So just because other generations couldn't we should just give up and no one can find out?
It already happened
Here’s the deal. Every single generation since the crucifixion has believed they were the generation who would see the Glory of the Lord coming on the clouds. We just don’t know folks. That being said, there are a lot more pieces of the puzzles in place now than have ever been in history. So best I can tell you is put your trust in Yeshua! Put your life in HIS hands. Repent and be mournful of your sinful nature. Love HIM. HE will take care of you and you will have peace, love, and everlasting life!
I like the way this young man examines the scriptures.

For me, if I don't truly understand what I read when I read it then I move on and just know that it isn't for me to know yet-whereas something else is. Considering that it's obvious that we cannot learn and know everything at once, so we must pick and choose what we want to learn and I trust the Lord enough to teach me by guiding my wants. My wants are not my own and no matter how much I read and study, I can't examine it as deeply as Jason does. So I listen and follow along with him
@@PPCalvinistThe young man has a good understanding of the Gt.Trib. Same as the interpretation that I have held for at least 3 decades.
young man, I appreciate your zeal, however, I think you need to keep reading the Bible . Do some more study. The Generation that was spoken of in the Fig Tree prophecy, is the generation that sees Israel restored to a nation. I think you. need to be very careful with that word."hyperbolic'. God, the Creator, does not speak in Hyperbole.
Funny how when someone says something you don't believe in, you automatically claim he hasn't read his Bible enough. Truth is, he has and he has come to a different conclusion. Scholars have been debating these ideas of prophecy for millenia. It's incredibly narcissistic to assume that he doesn't read his Bible enough because he has come to a different conclusion to you.
Daniel 2 and 3 shows that “the great tribulation” is a repeating theme that happens when God’s people fall away. You see the pattern throughout Jeremiah, with false prophets telling people who were committing abominations that no trouble would come upon them. (Then God sends the abomination that causes desolation, to force people to choose Him or a false God. This happens many times throughout history.)
One was set up in Daniel chapter 3 that they were told to bow to or get thrown into the furnace, and that abomination signified the golden head of the statue in Daniel 2.
There was another set up during the Maccabee rebellion, which was before Christ came.
I personally think there’s some major assumptions being made about what Joel was talking about, especially since Peter quotes Joel 2 in Acts 2 at Pentecost, signifying THAT was the day (at least in part) which Joel was prophesying.
Joel is very likely talking also about the great and final tribulation also… (which the clay feet that won’t mix with the iron represents)aka mystery Babylon.
The Roman armies after Jesus’s time likely represented the Iron legs, not the clay feet, which is the FINAL tribulation:
“As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.”
Daniel 2:43-44 NKJV
The DECEPTION is going to be so great and it wasn’t yet qualified to happen in Paul’s day:
“Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. … The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
II Thessalonians 2:1-4, 9-12 NKJV
The church was just being built in the first century. To say the great falling away happened then… idk. I think that judgement came for the Jews not accepting them, not what will come upon those who fall away from the deception that is to come. They weren’t even facing any deception like Christ describes.
The final ‘Babylon’ really looks to be literally a global government when you look at Revelation 13 with the mark of the beast, which I really doubt happened yet, and most scholars agree was written after the tribulation of the first century.
The remnant are also the ones who are not deceived by the deceptive teachings, lying signs and wonders that will be in the last days (sounds a lot like deep fakes and the nature of things we are just starting to see now.
Respectfully, just a few things to think about, Jason. I think there were too many pieces missing for the tribulation of the first century to be the great and final tribulation in my opinion. I recommend checking out Michael Heiser on the topic. He is extremely knowledgeable and covers all different viewpoints about the tribulation and also end times. Thank you for the content though. I’ll continue looking into it. God bless.
As you have already commented on the cyclical nature of the falling away of Gods chosen priesthood as documented throughout scripture beautifully I’ll only offer this extra relating to the temple. The temple is sacred space wherein Gods chosen meet with Him. We see the temple defiled over and over in scripture as well, going along with the falling away/apostasy of the people. The end times defilement of the temple is connected to the last falling away prior to Christs return in which He cleanses the temple for the last time. Those who have crept in unawares, that have been preordained to this condemnation will be shaken out during the Great tribulation of the End. This is the final destruction of the temple wherein Gods people will be refined through fire to be made ready for the groom. A bride made perfect through sufferings that come when the dragon is cast out and gives his power to the beast who will set up the abomination of desolation in the temple/Church. This future abomination will be the last whoredom we see take place when Gods “people” (pretenders) lift their skirts for the beast and are impregnated with his seed because they didn’t love the truth. The church will worship the beast and God will preserve a remnant. The majority will worship the beast from fear and the overspreading of abomination. This is why we must prepare spiritually to stand during tribulations. Time is coming when no man can work.
Yes. What do they call the times that we are in?
When you enter a theory with the mindset that this is the way things are...... And that's all that you're going to see..... I think this speaker is trying to get us to understand a way of looking at it that the possibilities are different from our preconceived notions...
Once you have the mindset that the feet of clay are symbolic of a certain thing that's what you're going to keep in your mind

That's all I'm saying😅
@@astrialindah2773 I guess you'll be finding out, won't you? ✝️🙏❤️🔥🇺🇸🇮🇱🙌
I think you're going in all of the wrong directions My opinion I guess we'll find out soon cuz Jesus is coming back and it's it's very much closer than we all think see you in the clouds 🙏🔥☝️
I like where you are going with this. It is often assumed that the "Olivette Discourse" was all about the end times in our day, when clearly as you are pointing out, much of it happened in the past. The exaggerated language has to really be understood by the Spirit, and in the light of the rest of scripture, remembering first and foremost, that the Bible is a spiritual book. You are doing a fine job of explaining that with the whole of scripture. Jesus spoke to everyone in parables, but would explain the mysteries to his disciples. That being said, Jesus probably still left them scratching their heads after this discourse.
This is a false teaching and twisting of scripture. So many things wrong here that it would take a lot more space than what is acceptable here to examine in detail. However here are a few key points...
#1 We are to rightly divide the word. Jesus was addressing the disciples who are Jews and what he describes in the latter part of Matthew 24 is specifically for the Jews in the Tribulation, not for the church. The Tribulation (also referred to as Daniel's 70th week) is twofold, when God's wrath is poured out on a Christ rejecting world and also for the salvation of the Jewish nation as God's covenant with Israel still stands until all is fulfilled following the Great White Throne judgement.
#2 If this were referring to the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D. and the persecution of the church (which has been ongoing and continues to this day) then where is the Antichrist? The mark? The one world government, economy and religion? The 10 Kingdoms and 10 rulers? The two witnesses? The angel flying in the midst of heaven warning those on the earth not to receive the mark? Where is the blessed hope and promise that the church(those who are born again) are not appointed to wrath? If the church is here in the tribulation then why is the church not mentioned once from the beginning of Revelation 4:1 until the end when the church returns with Christ at the final battle? Why does scripture describe us being "caught up"...( Harpazo in Greek, Rapturo in Latin... from which the scripture was translated into the English language ) to meet the Lord in the AIR, whereas in the Second Coming Christ returns to earth (the very mount of Olives to be precise) to establish his millennial reign from Jerusalem? Why would Jesus "go to prepare a place for us" if he were simply returning to the earth at the Second Coming? Sooo many things off here.
#3 Scripture interprets scripture and is not of any private interpretation. There is a very severe warning to those who would add to or subtract from the book of Revelation (Revelation 22)
Not to be taken lightly. I pray that you will seek the Lord on this matter and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to you. Though it is true that all scripture is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness, not all scripture is written specifically to us in the age of grace... the Bible doesn't contradict itself and we are told in it that it is dispensational (the exact word dispensation is used several times) and needs to be rightly divided. God's word is revealed to all those who are born again by the indwelling Holy Spirit and is not only for the scholarly or intellectual. The word tells us that mans wisdom is foolishness and throughout scripture God chose people of low degree or educational level to communicate His plan to or message and were used mightily so that there would be absolutely no debate that it was God at work and not philosophical men. This is not meant to discourage, only to present the truth of God's word. I pray the Lord will increase your understanding as he so graciously has mine and many others the past several years.
Brother, first let me say that Jesus has prepared a place, but we don't occupy that place until after the millennial reign, and the great white throne judgement happens. You are confusing events. You will find it hard to believe unless you actually only seek truth, but the rapture of the church doesn't happen until Revelation 11:18. Regardless if you want to believe it or not, we are not escaping what is to come. You need to start preparing yourself to decide whether or not you will take the soon coming mark. We are already in the first 1260 day count. Don't believe me, just watch Israel. And another thing, Jesus most certainly was Jewish, but He was speaking to the founding fathers of the Church at the Olivet Discourse, not just some jews on the street corner. Your POV is very wrong concerning that. We Christians are grafted into Israel, we are all going through this together. What armies are coming against the Antichrist if only the jews were to go through the 7 years. Pre trib is a completely false teaching
Amen. 👍
Check out pastor Bruce Gores youtube web page and his series on revelations , it really opened my eyes and made sense of it, more so than the endless speculative theorising that goes on with the futurists view ,and the date setting that inevitably comes with it....Kenneth Gentry is another teacher on Revelations worth the listen...you will be blessed...btw Jason is doing a fantastic job here, he's applying the right hermeneutics giving clarity to an otherwise difficult teaching..note, it is easier to deceive someone than it is to convince them that they have been, and we have all been deceived on this topic

The same is taught aby a dear pastor named Gilberto Rufat. He has done deep studies on certain topics concerning end times. In Matthew 24 He explains the same you have explained Jason but more detailed and how what it is written in Matthew 24 was the fulfillment of what is written in the book of Daniel chapters 7, and 9. May God grant us time to diligently study Matthew 24, as sadly we have been lied to or perhaps the people who taught us this were taught by other people who lack biblical knowledge and discernment.

Right there is no pretribulation rapture,
The trouble moment is has come on Satan we the true church will set free from the yoke of influence of evil . This was a testing for Us the born again believer in the works of salvation was to believe Jesus, that He was in control of the ones He has called to this test. No time as this

The tribulation is not a test - stop it, the test goes to whole humanity because his love and hope was to save us all, but not everyone will flee from sin and will endure the test.

@@mythocrat not disagreeing with you but testing will have its place for faith and His love for us all is for all but He has called a church to serve Him . Stop what that you telling me to stop the great commission of salvation and that He’s coming.

Scripture should interpret scripture
With child like faith we can read scripture and take God at his word , There is no pretribulation rapture, Matthew 24 is for us today and is a warning not to be deceived by false teachers claiming to be of Christ and those claiming to be Christ, and the end would come ( his appearing ) emediatly after the TRIBULATION
of those days , And then His WRATH would be poured out, 😮
Your explanation of Matthew 24 makes sense to me, biblically. Do you think then that there will be no great tribulation before Jesus returns?
No because the biblical great tribulation happened in the first century in the years leading up to the utter obliteration of Jerusalem and her temple in AD70… God bless you ❤
Voddie Bauchum breaks this down in a series of sermons on Revelation .... very informative and eye-opening
With everything that’s been happening the last few years it really surprises me we still have amills and postmills, surely the Lord is separating the wheat from the chaff….. Premill Pretrib Calvinist! Doctrine matters, Do Not Be Deceived like this guy. Maranantha Rev 3:11
Matthew 24 verse 3 is the disciples asking Jesus several questions, not just one.
Jesus goes on to give them very detailed answers and much of the answer is things that will happen that aren't to be taken as signs.
Keep in mind that it wasn't just about the 70ad event but that it was also about His second coming and the end of the world, which is really the beginning of the new world for everyone in Him.
There's thousands of years apparent in Matthew 24.
Paraphrased "All these things but the end is not yet".
The mysteries are revealed through the Epistles and Revelation.
If you are applying Matthew 24 to your paradigm without consideration of Romans 9 10 and 11, you are doing so without one of several key mysteries revealed.
I’ve listened, and I hear your points, and yes it’s seems accurate for Jesus’s direct audience regarding their times, however I believe it’s both. There are layers in prophecy, and foreshadowing. It’s evident just by reading Revelation, and Daniel. Certainly you’re not proposing otherwise.
A lot of my Power come up upon you because this is a second time you told Mi the truth and be wise, there is not a lot of people telling the truth as you do and yes I see your cloching but even thou not many are such that are willing telling the truth You Did BRAVO!!

How do you explain historically Matthew 24:22?
And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened".
"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. (2 Peter 1:20 KJV)" All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:::: (2 Timothy 3:16 KJV)" "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:25-28 KJV)"
Love this subject
Can’t wait
Can you give an example of Jesus over exaggerating or making a border line misleading statement? To make that statement Jesus would be minimizing the flood as well as the end times.
Matthew 24:21
[21]For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Exactly. For me it is either an innocent misunderstanding or just blasphemy (if it is intentional to say Jesus is exaggerating). How come God says something will be the worst as people has never seen before and the person says it is a hyperbole? Hopefully this guy will realize he is misleading people with such a statement.

Matt 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Many people are confused by this verse because they do not recognize the Hebrew idiom “heaven and earth.” It is a compound metaphor that God used to refer to the agreement between God and the people of Israel (Jacob’s descendants), or the Mosaic covenant. Moses told them,
`When thou begettest sons and sons' sons, and ye have become old in the land, and have done corruptly, and have made a graven image, a similitude of anything, and have done the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him to anger: -- 26 I have caused to testify against you this day the heavens and the earth, that ye do perish utterly hastily from off the land whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it; ye do not prolong days upon it, but are utterly destroyed; (Deu. 4:25-26, YLT)
What would testify against them?
And it cometh to pass, when Moses finisheth to write the words of this law on a book till their completion, 25 that Moses commandeth the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying, 26 `Take this Book of the Law, and thou hast set it on the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and it hath been there against thee for a witness; (Deu. 31:24-26, YLT)
It was the law, the Mosaic covenant which God called “heaven and earth” that was to be the witness that would testify against the people. It was symbolic language for His creation of His people (Isa. 51:13-16), the agreement between God and Israel (Ex. 19:5-8)
When God prophesied in Isa. 65:17 and Isa. 66:22 that He was creating “new heavens and a new earth,” He was not speaking literally, but covenantally. The immediate sense was to re-establish the covenant with Israel upon their return from the Babylonian captivity. The fuller sense was looking forward to the new covenant He would establish under the gospel of Christ.
The Jews used the phrase “heaven and earth” to refer to the temple where God met with man. One of the meanings of the architectural symbols and elements used within that temple represented the literal heavens and earth of God’s creation. (1) (2) Therefore, Matt. 5:18 is understood in the language of the first century Jews as “till the Mosaic Covenant pass…” or “till the temple passes…” That was what they would have understood from the phrase “heaven and earth.” Jesus was not speaking of the literal heavens and earth of the literal cosmos.
That temple “heaven and earth” passed away at its destruction in AD 70 by the Romans whom God used to carry out His judgment against those wicked who had crucified their promised Messiah. And, that old covenant that was waxing old (Heb. 8:13) when the book of Hebrews was written in about AD 65-66 was completely fulfilled by and through Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins. Those were the last days of that old Mosaic covenant.
Our new covenant with YHVH is under the gospel of Christ, and He is our only sacrifice, our only way to our Father in heaven (John 14:6). There are no other sacrifices to be made (Heb. 10:26). We are no longer under the Mosaic covenant.

@@Denise0752 thank you for this, heaven and earth is something I have been grappling with on how to explain it to someone who thinks it means literal heaven and earth. I pretty much agree with everything you said, but my understanding is that heaven and earth refers to the actual people of God, or the Israelites, not the covenant. So when it says there is a new heaven and earth it means that God will have a new chosen people, specifically all believing remnant Jews and Gentiles. In the end they both happen simultaneously, new covenant new people, but I've just never heard it explained as the actual covenant.

So you are sowing doubt in God's word? Scripture is inspired by God and God does not exaggerate. The great Tribulation is in the end. Put your books together. Just because you can not image such things does not mean it isn't so. GOD's thoughts are not our thoughts and GOD'S ways are not our ways. You young man are leading people astray.
A very similar teaching as this I heard from an online Bible scholar.. most students were pretty shocked .. made sense to me. Thx
Sorry … the study is incoherent with Scripture.
Since Jesus suffered so much to give us eternal life why would he not allow us to go thru part or all of the tribulation. I have just started this video so I'm looking forward but wanted to ask that question or present my thoughts. Any feedback from anyone would be awesome.
I use to think about the pre -trib, but after many years now of study, prayer, and searching the Scriptures, it seems obvious that we will go through the Times of Tribulation, but we are not destined to the Time of Wrath.
It blows my mind that when it says the tribulation in Matthew 24 will be greater than anything that’s ever been upon the Earth you insist that Jesus only meant Jerusalem, so if the words on the page don’t mean what they say how are we supposed to know what they mean? we need people like you to tell us what they mean? so somehow you have the authority on what the Bible actually means rather than what it actually says… Do not be deceived for many false teachers will be in the last days and my friend you are one of them, please get your doctrine straight because prophecy is not poetry nor is it allegorical, and the devil is loose and he hates us and he knows his time is short…. Guard your hearts Church it’s getting bumpy.
That's crazy people automatically took this guy's word as correct just because he said so, yet ignore that Jesus made it clear that it will be the worst that the world has ever seen.
Christ was referencing the coming utter obliteration of Jerusalem and her temple in AD70…
I am hoping that I am not here for the tribulation. I'm hoping that I am part of the group that goes up in the rapture
I disagree. When the Bible uses hyperbole it doesn't bother to tell you, it assumes you know; but when it is being literal it DOES tell you - like "...such as has never been nor ever will be again..." - that is being explicit. Implicit would not use "has never been nor ever will be."

The Bible is the inerrant Word of God and it is not a book of hyperbolic innuendo. You have a very special anointing on your life. Please do not let your flesh rob you of the Work of the Holy Spirit in you. Said with much love in Christ.
Erroneous teachings ?
This young brother is on the right track ❤
I know you will attack my comment with great fervor but Mr elder in the body of christ you and most everyone else dont even know the name of the Father or the savior! I urge you and everyone else to truly seek the true name of our heavenly father because calling on his true name means everything. You can throw any and everything against me but this truth stands! Please seek the true name of the Father!
Matthew 24:5 Many will come in My name, saying , "I am the Christ." and will deceive many. Alluding to exaggeration and over expounding in the scripture is tantamount to accusing Yehovah of bearing false witness. I would be very careful about delivering your untutored and imbalanced ramblings on a public forum in exchange for the odd few bucks.
The great tribulation is coming. If you don't know that you are misinterpting the scriptures .. you got alot of studying to do good luck..
@@jamesddrake9282 what great tribulation are you referring to?
The tribulation in my opinion is on the evil against the ones who sold their souls to evil and this is the last call for salvation but in meantime the great awakening has come in the Book Revelation for us the true church to sound the alarm and to continue the great commission of salvation for the lost and the Church that has been decided by false teachings in the church. Revelation is talking to the churches the lost is lost and the other side of the coin the book is talking about the taken down of evil. God is pouring out wisdom and discernment in this day, my yoke is easy to receive it’s time to ask.
I believe everything that the young man is teaching is spot. I have believed the same teachings for many decades.
I believe it's you that doesn't understand the scripture.
Time for you to go back to the drawing board
The young man's teachings are Spot On.
Well done what u r doing is honourable
If you examine the scriptures properly, you will see that Mat 24 is about the coming tribulation. Luke 21 though is about the destruction of the temple in 70AD and it is said that not one christian died during that time as they adhered to the Word of God.
All will be saved.
Romans 11:7
Romans 9:27
Says different.
True that God wants all to be saved but yours is a generalized message. Too obscure.
Revelation 7: 9-17 / I want it to be noted that it says all kindreds, nations, tongues. Not some, not a little, but all.
There will be "Great tribulation" during that 7 year period which is called in the bible as the time of "Jacob's trouble" which is 7 years. It does not say "The Great Tribulation."
With all due respect you are wrong on a few key points. I would save you a lot of time and just tell you to watch Chuck Missler on the Oliver discourse and you will see the difference between Luke and Mathew. No they are not the exact same chronological order in both gospels.
God Bless
Matthew 24:34
34 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place..
Is referring to all the things he said from verse 5 to 33. That generation who sees all these things will not pass away until they all come to pass. Those are the signs of the times and the sign of His coming. he's letting them know when it'll happen when the generation that sees all those things see them, they are the final generation.
He says the abomination of desolation that Daniel spoke of refers to a very specific event. Paul refers to him in second Thessalonians as the Lawless one. He is a man that will set up an image of himself in the temples holy of holies. That's when those who are in Judea should flee to the mountains and not Terry before doing so.
There's a saying that goes, "If the plain sense makes sense then there is no other sense, lest you end up with nonsense." How do you gather that Jesus is using exaggerated language? Because if he's being literal then your eschatology is destroyed? So we just make up something like calling plain language hyperbole so you can keep your false doctrine? Classic eisegesis everyone. WTG! Bravo! You just succeeded in misleading God's people.
so good Thank you
Unless we listen to Jesus Christ, just as he taught the Seven Churches in Asia, we will not have the endurance required...regardless.
Keep looking at Israel news too. The Man of Perdition will offer Peace and Security.
A good clip on Amillennialism
It all makes sense now
Young man I've studied the scriptures for nearly 40 years. I see your mixing stories that have nothing to do with each other. You have a great responsibility when teaching GOD'S WORD to others. Do not take away or add to the scriptures. You use the term i believe often and this is were you need to be careful. Keep studying. GOD BLESS YOU
I wish this video series were numbered in the title. They're not posted in order so it's hard to watch then correct order.
Most of it already happened and h1story is a L1e
Heaven and Earth to the hebrews was where they interacted with God ,"when Heaven was brought to Earth: at the temple , so Heaven and Earth passing away meant The Temple, which happened in 70 AD , New covenant , New Heaven, New Earth :)
Guys help me here. Since he does not number his messages I’m unable to find the videos he tells us to watch b4 this one regarding the end times or the great tribulations.
Any ideas on which is #1#2#3 etc?
Watch all of them so you build a foundation.😊
@@rickp9848 the playlist is linked in the description below
Yes, the world is established it she’ll never be moved means for that time right then it’ll never be moved.
Missed the verse that says, you have become born into tribulations to your end.
As in the days of noah and lot and they both were taken out before total destruction. We don’t go out til after sixth seal
Thanks!
Satan has done a great job but your word exposed him so that we would never be deceived help us to have boldness when we come before thee because of what the blood of Jesus done for us
The word of God is perfect. Please read the interpretation pastor Allen nolan from cornerstone fellowship of the olivet discourse. It is pretty accurate.
Thank you. I'm enjoying your teaching very much. Have you ever heard of the teaching The 7 Mountain Mandate? I believe we are to take back Gods kingdom work here on earth. That the evil are soon to be removed.
Damnable heresy. Not at all supported by scripture and actually twists the entire biblical account around. This is part of the New Apostolic Reformation false doctrine.
Research new apostolic reformation- the roots of the 7 mountain mandate. It may give you some insight
Your viewing through a preterist view, which is wrong
Preterism is a very honest way of reading the bible……it takes into account audience relevance and the many imminent time statements…I love it ❤ God bless you ❤
@@lavieenrose5954
It is not the correct way to read the scriptures and is not a honest way either because you end up self decieved and a liar when proclaiming such views.
This is completely false and inaccurate. There are so many inaccuracies here, I don't even know where to start. If you're passionate about talking about the Bible, please study it under someone who can teach you correctly. Right now, you're spreading misinformation, which is dangerous and could make you a false prophet. I can’t believe how wrong you are
A closed mind is like a steel trap..... Very difficult to get open.
.
@@astrialindah2773 oh ok! I just know false teachings when I hear it… the Bible says let the scripture correct you!
This is the same view as the preterist have.
@@RickyLara752 yea I had to unfollow. I’m so disappointed and was expecting to hear him out on a few things but honestly this is just false prophecy and if he doesn’t get it together he’s going to be separated from God if Preterits is his belief because it is a cult.
@@michelleadaniel this is the trick of the enemy. Stay strong brothers and sisters, we know what time it is. Hasatan has his minions out to deceive. Stay the course, we are definitely in the last days and so many of these false liars/RUclips so-called bible teachers wannabes are out in full force. The blessing is we rather be safe than sorry, so no harm no fowl.
These other nations are scared and know their time and the gig is up for their destruction is nigh. Shalom!!
I am miss understood even of mine own family 😭 I am hated by all including my own wife . The known churches have kicked me out from being amongst themselves and I harmed them not and I am being killed by the very Military I served by the VA for they have along with the state department have lied to me and said the meds they put me on are no problem getting off and even that which is in my own flesh troubles me !!! Oh Lord our God who art LORD whom shall I turn to besides thee ??? Come what may but come back Lord Jesus mine Christ oh King of ISRAEL and Save the my family and all those who could but only call on you Oh Savior. 💔✝️❤️🩹😞 And heal this broken body that's old for who will declare your generation but thee ? I long to see thy Face oh GOD. Selah Shalom Amen AMEN ✌️
Be careful, read the verses again without this guy leading you into such thought. I am not saying no one is right or wrong, just read with discernment, it is quite easy to be deceived (even innocently) when someone is reading FOR you and interpreting on the go. Read with patience and try to see if Jesus, who has the knowledge of heavens would "exaggerate" about the tribulation when He also said that "like it has never happened before and never WILL be greater tribulation than that". There is no hyperbole, Jesus is clear.
Don't listen to this folks, obviously doesn't know biblical exegesis of bible prophecy
Simply not true. Jesus is referring to the great tribulation before Jesus returns in the clouds.
Read till the end of the text.
Matthew 24:22-27 NKJV
[22] And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved (referring to the tribulation at end times); but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. [23] “Then if anyone says to you (not talking to the 4), ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. [24] For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. [25] See, I have told you beforehand. [26] “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. [27] For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
shalom brother so what that said do you think any of this is likely to happen again in our lifetime or are you saying that the Bible as we know it is just a history book and should be followed to come in to salvation 🙏🏽☝️✝️🆙❤️
Oh man I have loved your content but you are really losing me here. God would not allow hyperbolic language in His word. It's really sounding like you're twisting things to fit a narrative. If there is hyperbolic language then the whole Bible could be. Then it would be worthless.
@@GuessWho-y9q may I ask, why you believe God wouldn’t allow hyperbolic language in His word? That’s one of the primary tools the prophets utilize. It’s an understood fact among scholars and translators of the original language that hyperbole is absolutely utilized in scripture.
Jesus says Peter is The Rock, is this hyperbole?
Jesus said he is the living water, is this hyperbole??
@@astrialindah2773Peter is not the rock. The rock upon which Christ will build His church is the truth that Jesus is The Christ, The Son of The Living God.
Hyperbole is a common occurrence in the scripture brother. Lk 14.26: “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters-yes, even his own life- he cannot be my disciple.”
Does Jesus literally want us to HATE our mothers and fathers? No, we are commanded to love our mothers and fathers and to provide for our families. This is clearly hyperbole. The love in which we love our family should look like “hate” compared to the love that we have for Christ
@@ogloc6308 Symbolism and hyperbole are integrally distinct. Hyperbolic language is by definition an obvious exaggeration or overstatement. By considering a claim or statement to be hyperbolic, you’re asserting the statement isn’t meant to be taken seriously or literal.
Symbolism, on the other hand, is a much better way to understand not only the points you’re making, but the Bible in general. Symbolism doesn’t inherently imply an exaggerative interpretation, that shouldn’t be taken seriously or literal. Instead, it allows for deeper meaning and truths to be illuminated.
How do you know that God didn’t tell Moses that there wouldn’t be any more locust such as those? You’re assuming.
This is just Amillennialism.
the cry Egypt went through was just Egypt whereas Jesus is talking about the entire world which would be a greater cry over all
I will not bend God's word to fulfill my understanding. Rather, I will bend my understanding, to God's word. Tribulation to whom? That nation born of Jacob, or that "Church" formed by Jesus? I give you the horrendous persecution of true believers in Christ., since Jesus Christ. The Great Tribulation involves the Abomination of Desolation, which is, worshipping "other" gods, or ideals, or philosophies, Other than the True GOD., which is CHRIST.
That 70 week count in Dan 9 repeated a second time in 1535 when the Ottomans also made a decree to repair Jerusalem, building the walls that surround it today in 1538-1541. 62 weeks after that decree, Jerusalem was reunited with Israel, fulfilling that part ‘built in times of trouble’. Then 7 weeks later, at the end of 69 weeks, we all witnessed that great sign in Virgo from Rev 12 that depicted a human birth of the messiah, the child. That was on 9/23/2017. Another piece of this puzzle is confirmed later in Dan 11 where the last colonial power invades the Holy Land and pitches its tents in Jerusalem between the seas. That occurred in 2018 when Trump, the little horn and man ‘o sin, moved the embassy there in 2018. Very next verse says ‘at that time, Michael stands up. That also confirms the second timeline.
Jesus did fulfill and was the one cut off who was confirming a new covenant and during that last week, he disrupted the sacrifices. His death effectively ended sacrifices with even rabbinic sources saying the Yom Kipper sacrifice stopped being confirmed by that sign of a cloth turning red. He did come at precisely the right time and was cutoff halfway through that last week if he died in 30CE as most scholars believe.
This pattern is a chiastic prophecy like ABCBA. It’s seen in many places all over the scriptures. With this second count, the timeline to both advents is revealed. Because there was always a second, the ‘time, times, and half a time’ along with 1260, 1290, 42 months, and even the 3 1/2 days the two witnesses bodies are displayed publicly all represent that missing time after the crucifixion. Even 1260 and 1290 is not a contradiction adding the extra 30 days to align the lunar calendar with the solar. The average of the two is 1275 which is exactly 3 1/2 solar years. So no reason to think they are literal. It’s saying the AoD would be here since the crucifixion. This can be seen in the 3 1/2 days the bodies are disgraced and one can be seen in every Catholic Church since. The AoD is the lie that god is so brutal he demanded blood to absolve his anger. False image and an idol that has ruined god’s reputation since.
Dan 12 says it won’t be completed until the power of the people is finally broken. Here we are now, in the very last year of that second count. We’re on the cusp of the power of the people finally being broken. Michael has been here since 2018 and all hell has broken loose ever since then with weather events, Covid, wars, and famine. We’re already in that tribulation period and god returns to judge the nations beginning with Israel and stripping her naked for all the world to see.
Jeremiah was co missioned to tear down and build up...where are we know and why
What would you call the days we are presently in?
Post Millenialism makes the most sense
1 destruction
2 the sign of his coming in the skie
3 I've come that they might be healed .
4 heal the sick preached castout demon
As you study, how do you decide what's hyperbole if it's not immediately obvious?
Love your channel btw. Thank you for the great work you do here
@@ShamelesslyRed that’s a great question. The first and primary way to determine that is to examine the context. This includes the literary context. The historical context. The cultural context etc it’s really helpful to know the biblical genre of whatever book you’re reading and then compare scripture with scripture always. If a literal meaning of the verse seems absolutely ridiculous, just dig a little deeper and examine that text from a different angle
@@AboveReproachMinistry thank you for that tip. I'll use it when I study.
In times of tribulation there must be. Victims and executioners. Who do you think is the victim in our time?
If Jesus came in our time. With whom would he be?
If Jesus himself. He is the one who. Prophesied the destruction of the temple. Twice. Do you think he is happy about this. Prophecy?
It seems from the texts that Jesus is angry about the owners of the temple, so much so that he mourned the city of Jerusalem.
He said, Jerusalem, you killer of the prophets and messengers.
We notice that Jesus is always unhappy with this, who refused to believe in him, describing them as an evil, immoral generation. You sons of vipers. How. Will you escape the wrath. To come?
Do you think, my boy, that the children of Israel in this day will be victims of the professions, or are they. Who causes tribulations for others?
First there is no THE great tribulation.
Man added THE.
Why would He mention that it would never be that bad again. If it’s at the very end, why would He add that last part?
End of the age and very end of time are two different Greek words.
Why don’t we take Him at His word. He said “this generation” many times. He never said “THAT” generation.
May I suggest that youvactuallyblook at the original language when studying so you can see more clearly? Psalm 93:1 for example, is not what you think. The word there for moved quite literally means to totter or slip out of place. That clearly leaves all other options open as to the earth being destroyed by God in a willful act of judgement and wrath. That verse in Psalm 93 is simply saying it will never accidentally slip from where God has placed it.
Olivet! Darn spell check!!
John 14
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
If you aren't keeping the covenants of promise (Ephesians 2:12), you will NOT receive the spirit of Truth. Keep the 10 commandments and eat clean. If you don't, you have the antichrist spirit of error (aka the spirit of stupid).
The Bible says in John 16:33,,, These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.,, IN the world ye shall have tribulation:,but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Only those who keep the commandments of men and the rudiments and tradition's of the world, will have the tribulation, for the Bible says that Men will die for the problems that the man of the abomination that maketh desolate, causes,,hey you can see it happening already.
Christ would not tell Jacob His name in Genesis 32:29. In Judges 13:17-18 He told Manoah His name was a secret. At the very end of the Book at Armageddon He still has this unknown name (Revelation 19:12). It is His new name; the name of God that He will write on us (Revelation 3:12) when He returns. Which means this name is not in the Bible.
If Christ returned 1,954 years ago in 70 AD, then by now preterists should be able to tell us what this name is...but they can't. And if He returned in 70 AD, by now, preterists should be calling Him by this name...but they don't.
When a bride takes her husband's name it's not a forgettable moment. Jesus said we must forgive our brother until 70×7. After 70 weeks we get sinless bodies & we won't be sinning nor will our brother which means forgiveness between us won't be needed then. 70×7 obviously hasn't passed yet.
In Zephaniah 3:8-9 it says we will serve the Lord with 1 consent & 1 pure language when He returns. We've had multiple consents (denominations) & multiple languages (doctrines) since the 1st century.
In 1 Corinthians 11:26 it says communion is to be done until the Lord comes. If He came back in 70 AD why do preterists still take communion?
At Christ's return, the 7th trumpet blast happens & "time is no longer". Yet for centuries now, preterists (and every one else just about) have & continue to use calendars & clocks.
I think you need to go study some more my friend.
Revelation 7v9-14, then read Matthew 24v21.
Suffice to say, its the same greek term 'mega thlipsis' or we say (the) great tribulation.
"All nations, kindreds, peoples, tongues. "
Not just Jews, as told by some prophecy teachers that 'Matthew is addressing a Jewish audience , and so its written for the Jews during the tribulation, and can't be about us gentiles being in the tribulation, as the church has been raptured '.
Make it make sense from a pre tribulation church rapture view. 🤔
And if you say ' these are people who believed after the rapture, then who told them the gospel? how can they believe without a messenger? Pretrib has to stretch every text beyond its intended meaning.
P.s. there is only one sign Jesus points to: the clouds and Jesus coming on/with them.
The other things mentioned are birth pangs. But the head coming out of the woman is the sign a baby is coming,
Bible discernment Jesus is King
