The point of John speaking about himself in 3rd person is not because of his glorification of himself, on the contrary ... it's because of his diminishing of himself and putting an emphasis on the honour of Jesus's love - the honour of being loved by Jesus.
John was in Rome and they tried to Boil him Alive when that Failed and they did not know what to do with him they sent him to the Island of Patmos and he lived out the Rest of his Life while also writing from God Revelations and then he died. There is only one and just one that is fully alive and that is Jesus Christ. Until Jesus Christ comes back no one and I mean no one will be Resurrected until Jesus comes back so like Paul says make sure you are Trusting in Jesus Christ for the hope of the 1st Resurrection of the Righteous whether you are living or dead because the 2nd Resurrection is going to be way more beyond harder to get in that the 1st.

2 witnesses are enoch and Elijah. They are the only 2 ppl who did not die, who god took to heaven as witnesses. They will return before Christ's return to prophecy his return, they will be killed in the street then raised after 3 days. All are appointed unto death once then the judgement.

They will stand outside the temple and draw conclusions for the acts of worship being conducted within the Temple during this time they will bring about the same places and punishments that were present pre flood and in Egypt proving that Jesus is Messiah to the Jews, once they come around the end will come and Jesus will separate us from the tares.

Brother in tribulation has been confused because of the mistranslation of "the" great tribulation. Since the time of Christ, believers have been in tribulation. "These are those that came through great tribulation". The word "the" was added and it muddied the water of revelation.
In the book of Genesis, it says god made a covenant limiting mans years, which will be limited to 75-80 years after the flood. The Bible says Methuselah was the oldest man who ever lived at 969 years old. Thus, John could not live to be older than Methuselah.
God is God he can make anything happen he’s God ❤God doesn’t have limits what God says we should Believe Jesus Christ is are savior and the son of God so whatever Jesus Christ says we should Believe as well ❤
“Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”” John 21:23 Then there’s this verse…I think it gives us the answer
I think its Interesting when Daniel is given his prophcy from Gabriel he's told to seal the book because its for a long time away... When John in Revelation is told to give his word to the 7 churches of Asia he's told to not even seal up the book...it also says "because the time is at hand"........
@mtpta4947 What I’m taking about is when Jesus opens the seals which were closed during Daniels prophecy. But either way now I don’t get the point of your post. Aren’t you saying revelations is related to Daniels prophecy? And also, it’s for a future generation, so what does something not being from Daniels time have to do with anything, it’s literally for a time in the future, thousands of years in the future .
So... with this being said. I think one important thing we should take from this. Is talk to everyone as if we're meeting John. As if we are so glad that we had the opportunity to meet this person because EVERYONE is special and worth something! Praise Jesus!!
I just read The Bible cover to cover for the first time in my life and that verse in Luke perplexed me “there are some standing here, which shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God”. Wild, and does that mean someone literally standing in Jesus’ presence at that moment? Does he mean not tasting death as in some would be saved into everlasting life and therefor not tasting death?
Matthew 16:28 Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” Matthew 10:23 You shall not finish going through the cities of Israel, until the Son of Man comes. Matthew 24:34 “This generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Matthew 26:64From now on, you shall be seeing the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 1 Corinthians 10:11 “Now these things …were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23“May your spirit and soul and BODY be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thess. 1:6-7It is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire. Hebrews 10:37 For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay James 5:7 Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord The list goes on and on... Trust in Christ.

Jesus already returned the temple was destroyed this talk of red heifers and the temple coming into play doesn’t make sense at all why would the temple being destroyed prophecy be fulfilled twice.
@@noknownthrone2487 Three disciples were present a few days after Jesus said these words. Peter, James and John saw Jesus coming in kingdom power when he was transfiguration in a vision. So they saw a preview in vision they did not have to keep living till the end times. Also Elijah and Moses appeared in the vision.
It is appointed every man to die. -Hebrews 9:27 There are two characters in the Bible who did not die. I always thought these were the two witnesses in revelation. One being Elijah who was taken away in a chariot of fire into heaven. And Enoch who walked with God, but then was no more.
I’m not even a minute into this video and I’m going to put this puppy to rest. The apostle John bore witness to the end times on Patmos when he saw the vision of the end. He’s not walking around here on earth today, but he saw what happened in these days back in his day before he died.
And about his mention of John prophesying again, it would be no different than the mount of transfiguration or even the 144,000 coming down from heaven upon the Earth during the time of God’s wrath.
It's important to remember that Elijah did not die either. What I am trying to emphasize is if there will be two that come before it's not a stretch to say the second witness didn't die either.
Thank you...finally someone quotes John! He got it! Clue #1 His resurrection was at Passover (celebrating death passing over God's children while unbelievers died). It will be clear to all very soon...Peace.
I’m not against this line of questioning and it’s genuinely interesting. But why don’t we spend more time on the most incredible certain things… that we are going to live for eternity with the Lord in glorified immortal bodies. That is wild. We’re going to be turned into literal supermen and women. That’s how good God is to us!
He will be a witness he never died, and he never will die. Jesus through him, he overcame death. No sin, no death, not even the shadow of death, has no power.
I'm a LDS, we teach that John has tarried for a long time never dying because he would need to be around for the 2nd coming. This isn't new thought. He's a translated being. Btw love the channel, love that you bring others to Christ.
When i was younger and read the verse where jesus asks peter if he loves him and to follow him and then goes on and asks about johns fate then the lord says what is it to you (regarding john) i thought he might be still alive... probably in the island of patmos or something
I read the same verses. Came across my mind. It's absolutely okay to discuss thoughts and perspectives on verses. Wrong to conclude it as fact. But still okay to talk about
in the 1830's a christian, born sikh studied with a hindu teacher, became a missionary called sadhu sundar singh, got lost in the Nepalese Himalaya (he lived in the foot hills)mountains and collapsed, was rescued and carried by a man, who could remember Charlemagne (the man b.748), when he said he was already very old. and further back but not details the missionary knew though. the old man spent his time praying and gleaning small amounts of food. i had forgotten this story and i am dyslexic with extreme difficulties with names, sundar was also poisoned a few times for me the jury is still out
I've heard the Elijah and John being the two witnesses for a number of years...this isn't a new theory.It's a very interesting one....very interesting...but the theory has been around for a long time.But....Elijah and Enoch adds up more also.
My question is why would Jesus say something like until I return because let’s face it we don’t know everything literal thing of the bible and have yet to see every prophecy take place but whether this idea is true or not it clearly doesn’t change the validity of the Bible. God bless you all and may you all bless God with your will and lives ❤️🙏🏽
Perhaps you are right, but if they are the OT & NT, how do they get killed by the beast, lay in the street, rise from the dead and ascend into Heaven? Does the beast prove the OT & NT false and leave them in the street for three and a half days?
They rose from the dead when via Gods providence the Bible was translated to native languages (by those who refuse to fall for the beast lies) shining light and truth once again
@idaste15 interesting So from your perspective (to be clear, im not being sarcastic or rhetorical but truly trying to understand what you mean.) for 1260 "days" the OT&NT spoke... then they were dead (in non local languages)№ for 3 "days"... during which people gave gifts ... now they are back (in the vernacular)... Correct?
I get that this idea is not a salvation point but it is a distraction from the truth. I feel these ideas can distract some believers from the main focus Jesus. It’s like if it’s true or not we shouldn’t even ponder on this topic.
Well, Elijah didn't die either , he was taken up. It's very possible the same happened to John therefore never tasting death but could have been taken up. Super interesting all the same 😊
acts 1-8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
These verses all speak about his coming in 70ad. Jesus stood in the Sanhedren and told them 'YOU' will see me coming on the clouds of heaven. Jesus is speaking about his judgement coming and taking up his rightful place on the throne, the old had past the new has come.
@godsoloved24 well technically he wouldn’t have to learn every language, but with 2000 years he definitely could have. Lol however with technology he would one need to speak one language and translation software could easily translate it for every single language without much effort.
It's in The Word, for a reason. It is also true, it likely does not effect our salvation, but it may help others. 10:20 - Excellent way for that brother to wrap it up. Luke 8 16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.17For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.” (TS2009 translation)
If you read this with the view of an argument complete with a bit of jealousy when he asked Jesus what about this man, say it was an ongoing repeated conversation of Jesus teaching, preparing them. Like why do I have to die when he gets to stay alive? Makes more sense as to why Jesus replied what’s it to you if I want him alive till I come again.
Apostle John saw the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom in the book of Revelation. In my own opinion he was teleported to the very last day and witnessed the end of age. And put it all on paper. It the spiritual realm there is no time. So he must have moved dimensions alive and in the flesh on that island of Patmos. But In our realm he died of natural causes. Off course this calls for wisdom and clarity from our God. It would be swell to know that he is still alive today. It is for God to conceal a matter and for us to find it out. Amen
“Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”” Genesis 6:3
Jesus coming 'the parousia' was Jesus coming in judgement 70ad hence John is alive at that time. Revelation most likely written in the late 60's by John speaks of what was about to happen.
The kingdom of God is spiritual not physical. Revelations is the revelation of Jesus Christ, not end of the cosmos. “Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”” Luke 17:20-21 ESV
I assume you mean where Revelations talks about the end of the age. But there's also verses in revelations talking about a real end times similar to what Daniel talks about.
@@soraroxesventerra Daniel is talking about Jesus ending the old covenant, ehich He did. Again, Jesus never talks about his kingdom being physical. “Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”” Luke 17:20-21 ESV

Technically, Elijah was taken into heaven, 2 Kings 2:11, "Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven." Just a thought.
The co-writer of the "The Shack" wrote another book under a different name called "So You Don't Want To Go to Church Anymore". It follows 13 conversations an associate pastor of a mega church has with a man that he comes to believe is the Apostle John still walking the Earth. It addresses political church culture vs the true teachings of Christ.
Okay y'all I know this is a stretch but play along with me in thought. The two witnesses; everyone agrees on Elijia, its the second one that is a mystery. We can believe that both witnesses must not have died at any point because the Word says, "it is appointed to man once to die then the judgement". This is why people want to speculate about John not dying. But "what if": Let me take your mind to another mystery of the Bible to ponder. We are told that Michael fought with Satan over the "BODY" of Moses, not Moses' "SOUL". So, what made Moses body so important? We know that it would have been prepared in the usual way, so what's the importance of Moses' body? Nowhere else do we see the angels contending for a "body", why here? Take a breath now and think before you respond, I told you it was a stretch, but "what if?" What if Moses wasn't actually "dead" when he was prepared, but rather in a coma??? This would explain the importance of having possession of Moses' body. We are told that no one knows where God put Moses' body. Think about it... Why couldn't God sustain Moses body until the time for witnessing came again?
Enoch did not go to heaven God took him so as not to experience a violent death at the hand of his enemies. Elijah was transported to another area he continued his work as a prophet after taken by God. @@Spriktor
The first time I came across this idea was a character in Marzulli's trilogy. Interesting idea. I don't believe it, but it's fun to think about and there are lots of stories throughout time about a man who doesn't age and keeps showing up at critical times and then is not found. Would certainly blow people's minds if true.

"And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
Yes
All the disciples are still alive... They are with Jesus.
All I know is that God is always in control and can do whatever he wants. I've heard many theories and they all sound plausible. I always say at the end that whatever happens and whoever is right, I will ensure I'll be ready for Jesus' return.
GOD can do literally ANYTHING AMEN 🙏
Brother in tribulation has been confused because of the mistranslation of "the" great tribulation. Since the time of Christ, believers have been in tribulation. "These are those that came through great tribulation". The word "the" was added and it muddied the water of revelation.
Exactly
Lookup Sadhu Sundar he says John is alive and he met him, but then added ‘don’t go look for him you won’t find him’ LOL
Who thinks Sling and Stone and Ruslan would make a good conversation?
Would be great to see
I’d say so
In the book of Genesis, it says god made a covenant limiting mans years, which will be limited to 75-80 years after the flood. The Bible says Methuselah was the oldest man who ever lived at 969 years old. Thus, John could not live to be older than Methuselah.
God is God he can make anything happen he’s God ❤God doesn’t have limits what God says we should Believe Jesus Christ is are savior and the son of God so whatever Jesus Christ says we should Believe as well ❤
John did live to witness Jesus return. It was in his vision on the isle of Patmos.
It does make sense that God would leave a witness for all time. Why would Jesus state it that way if he had no intentions of him living.
I've always thought it fit with how Jesus usually spoke with Peter. He was saying to Peter, "don't concern yourself with him. Follow me."
Because these things were fulfilled in the time of the apostles already.
Exactly, our lord and master jesus is not careless with his words, they are living and active❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dont put OUR FATHER in a box. Endure till the end.
John wrote the book of Revelation on Patmos not because that's what's believed. It's because in Revelation 1:9 John tells us.
The two witnesses die before Jesus returns. Also, John saw the return when given Revelation.
BOOM! (mic drop)
This ☝️🎉
“Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?””
John 21:23
Then there’s this verse…I think it gives us the answer
Not even Joking.....I have no memory of ever reading this verse. I've read this gospel 4 times.
I think its Interesting when Daniel is given his prophcy from Gabriel he's told to seal the book because its for a long time away...
When John in Revelation is told to give his word to the 7 churches of Asia he's told to not even seal up the book...it also says "because the time is at hand"........
Yeah revelations is the book of Daniel being explained since Jesus came back the end times have technically started.
@@heythere6983Respectfully ....I dont think the 7 churches Asia were even around back at the time of Daniel....
@mtpta4947 What I’m taking about is when Jesus opens the seals which were closed during Daniels prophecy.
But either way now I don’t get the point of your post. Aren’t you saying revelations is related to Daniels prophecy? And also, it’s for a future generation, so what does something not being from Daniels time have to do with anything, it’s literally for a time in the future, thousands of years in the future .
Yeah partial preterism
@@heythere6983 I had no idea that the seals were in existence in Daniels time,I'll have to look into that
So... with this being said. I think one important thing we should take from this. Is talk to everyone as if we're meeting John. As if we are so glad that we had the opportunity to meet this person because EVERYONE is special and worth something! Praise Jesus!!
Dear lord I hope so I’d love to meet him.
I just read The Bible cover to cover for the first time in my life and that verse in Luke perplexed me “there are some standing here, which shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God”. Wild, and does that mean someone literally standing in Jesus’ presence at that moment? Does he mean not tasting death as in some would be saved into everlasting life and therefor not tasting death?
Matthew 16:28 Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
Matthew 10:23 You shall not finish going through the cities of Israel, until the Son of Man comes.
Matthew 24:34 “This generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
Matthew 26:64From now on, you shall be seeing the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
1 Corinthians 10:11 “Now these things …were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.”
1 Thessalonians 5:23“May your spirit and soul and BODY be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thess. 1:6-7It is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire.
Hebrews 10:37 For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay
James 5:7 Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord
The list goes on and on... Trust in Christ.

Jesus already returned the temple was destroyed this talk of red heifers and the temple coming into play doesn’t make sense at all why would the temple being destroyed prophecy be fulfilled twice.
@@noknownthrone2487 Three disciples were present a few days after Jesus said these words. Peter, James and John saw Jesus coming in kingdom power when he was transfiguration in a vision. So they saw a preview in vision they did not have to keep living till the end times. Also Elijah and Moses appeared in the vision.
he was likely talking about him post ressurection as he had come in the kingdom and was glorified. Judas Iscariot was dead by then.
It is appointed every man to die. -Hebrews 9:27
There are two characters in the Bible who did not die. I always thought these were the two witnesses in revelation.
One being Elijah who was taken away in a chariot of fire into heaven.
And Enoch who walked with God, but then was no more.
Having an appointment doesn't mean everyone shows up.
This scripture very well could just point to John witnessing Christs return in Revelation. A foreshadowing.
What would be the reason for keeping John alive for the past 2000 years? What would John be doing that would be purposeful?
To watch and confirm.
And the Roman’s who pierced him in rev? Are they still alive? Come on guys Jesus already returned and the temple was destroyed.
Whatever God would purpose for him. God's ways are not our ways, our thoughts not His.
John, Elijah and Enoc are all alive as well as Jesus Christ.
Maybe Moses as well
I’m not even a minute into this video and I’m going to put this puppy to rest. The apostle John bore witness to the end times on Patmos when he saw the vision of the end. He’s not walking around here on earth today, but he saw what happened in these days back in his day before he died.
And about his mention of John prophesying again, it would be no different than the mount of transfiguration or even the 144,000 coming down from heaven upon the Earth during the time of God’s wrath.
It's important to remember that Elijah did not die either. What I am trying to emphasize is if there will be two that come before it's not a stretch to say the second witness didn't die either.
Me out looking for John at Patmos 🚶♀️
BIBLE SAY THERE ARE SOME WHO NEVER DIED.. I BELIEVE IT.
We literally were just talking about this at our Monday night Bible study 😆
I actually did a paper on this in college.
“Not Jesus dropping an Easter egg” 😂 Idk why but that was hilarious to me!!
Believe in me and you shall not perish but will have everlasting life
Thank you...finally someone quotes John! He got it! Clue #1 His resurrection was at Passover (celebrating death passing over God's children while unbelievers died). It will be clear to all very soon...Peace.
I’m not against this line of questioning and it’s genuinely interesting. But why don’t we spend more time on the most incredible certain things… that we are going to live for eternity with the Lord in glorified immortal bodies. That is wild. We’re going to be turned into literal supermen and women. That’s how good God is to us!
I also wonder if Melchizedek never died.
Strangely, I have always felt John is still alive. This is the first I ever heard of someone making a case for this.
He will be a witness he never died, and he never will die. Jesus through him, he overcame death. No sin, no death, not even the shadow of death, has no power.
You know… there’s a cool movie in that idea somewhere 😂
I'm a LDS, we teach that John has tarried for a long time never dying because he would need to be around for the 2nd coming. This isn't new thought. He's a translated being.
Btw love the channel, love that you bring others to Christ.
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints believe the John is still alive
The Apostle John is preserved in heaven. Just like Elijah and Enoch for their purposes later. Oh and Moses also.
Real question is? Is John walking around with a man bun or high fade? 😂 but in all seriousness great video. Thanks for all you do!
When i was younger and read the verse where jesus asks peter if he loves him and to follow him and then goes on and asks about johns fate then the lord says what is it to you (regarding john) i thought he might be still alive... probably in the island of patmos or something
This is called REACHING... let me repeat, REACHING 😂😂😂
attention seeking, in my opinion
I read the same verses. Came across my mind. It's absolutely okay to discuss thoughts and perspectives on verses. Wrong to conclude it as fact. But still okay to talk about
@@NameiEnnie compare Revelation 1:19 KJV to the passage in John. Keep in mind, John was taken into the future to describe the book of Revelation.
If the dead are raised, bodies healed and miracles take place the only problem this would cause is cessationism would be over if this were true lol
in the 1830's a christian, born sikh studied with a hindu teacher, became a missionary called sadhu sundar singh, got lost in the Nepalese Himalaya (he lived in the foot hills)mountains and collapsed, was rescued and carried by a man, who could remember Charlemagne (the man b.748), when he said he was already very old. and further back but not details the missionary knew though. the old man spent his time praying and gleaning small amounts of food. i had forgotten this story and i am dyslexic with extreme difficulties with names, sundar was also poisoned a few times
for me the jury is still out
I've heard the Elijah and John being the two witnesses for a number of years...this isn't a new theory.It's a very interesting one....very interesting...but the theory has been around for a long time.But....Elijah and Enoch adds up more also.
My question is why would Jesus say something like until I return because let’s face it we don’t know everything literal thing of the bible and have yet to see every prophecy take place but whether this idea is true or not it clearly doesn’t change the validity of the Bible. God bless you all and may you all bless God with your will and lives ❤️🙏🏽
You guys are just to cool and know it all . Don’t ever get haughty with the Word of GOD, pride comes before the fall.
yes, typical Laodicean mindset in the end times
BINGO, HALLELUJAH, YOU SAID IT AS IT IS.
Can't have it both ways, gotta respect the authority of The Church. Amen.
Two witnesses = Old Testament and new testament
@@idaste15 Elijah from the Old Testament/Covenant and John from the New/Covenant?
Jesus specifically says John the Baptist is Elijah... If only you can hear it.
Perhaps you are right, but if they are the OT & NT, how do they get killed by the beast, lay in the street, rise from the dead and ascend into Heaven?
Does the beast prove the OT & NT false and leave them in the street for three and a half days?
They rose from the dead when via Gods providence the Bible was translated to native languages (by those who refuse to fall for the beast lies) shining light and truth once again
@idaste15 interesting
So from your perspective (to be clear, im not being sarcastic or rhetorical but truly trying to understand what you mean.)
for 1260 "days" the OT&NT spoke... then they were dead (in non local languages)№ for 3 "days"... during which people gave gifts ... now they are back (in the vernacular)...
Correct?
I get that this idea is not a salvation point but it is a distraction from the truth. I feel these ideas can distract some believers from the main focus Jesus. It’s like if it’s true or not we shouldn’t even ponder on this topic.
Well, Elijah didn't die either , he was taken up. It's very possible the same happened to John therefore never tasting death but could have been taken up. Super interesting all the same 😊
AS WAS ENOCH
acts 1-8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
These verses all speak about his coming in 70ad. Jesus stood in the Sanhedren and told them 'YOU' will see me coming on the clouds of heaven. Jesus is speaking about his judgement coming and taking up his rightful place on the throne, the old had past the new has come.
We mentally don't know anything for sure is true. We live by faith.
Imagine how many languages John would have had to learn by now. Also, where could he hide for this long without being noticed?
Jerusalem.
In this video, the guys are suggesting that John could be in the North Sentinel Islands near India.

@godsoloved24 well technically he wouldn’t have to learn every language, but with 2000 years he definitely could have. Lol however with technology he would one need to speak one language and translation software could easily translate it for every single language without much effort.
John being alive is a Mormon teaching also, with the 3 Nephites and Cain being alive
LDS believe this, right?
It's in The Word, for a reason. It is also true, it likely does not effect our salvation, but it may help others. 10:20 - Excellent way for that brother to wrap it up. Luke 8 16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.17For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.” (TS2009 translation)
Not to be that guy but technically all the saints are still alive
correct, more than just Jon is alive that i assure you.
I appreciate the references to early church history and the church Fathers 🙏🏼 this is far too overlooked by most protestants.
If you read this with the view of an argument complete with a bit of jealousy when he asked Jesus what about this man, say it was an ongoing repeated conversation of Jesus teaching, preparing them. Like why do I have to die when he gets to stay alive? Makes more sense as to why Jesus replied what’s it to you if I want him alive till I come again.
Apostle John saw the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom in the book of Revelation. In my own opinion he was teleported to the very last day and witnessed the end of age. And put it all on paper. It the spiritual realm there is no time. So he must have moved dimensions alive and in the flesh on that island of Patmos. But In our realm he died of natural causes. Off course this calls for wisdom and clarity from our God. It would be swell to know that he is still alive today. It is for God to conceal a matter and for us to find it out. Amen
“Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.””
Genesis 6:3
The reason why this is important is because the two witnesses preach for 3 and 1/2 years. So keep an eye out for them to pop up at any time.
Agreed
This is one of many reasons why preterism is the best take on eschatology.
You mean partial preterism. It makes a lot more sense in that context
That's what I was thinking
Think about this often. I do think it's both hilarious and poetic the way John refers to himself. The book makes me laugh and cry.
Jesus coming 'the parousia' was Jesus coming in judgement 70ad hence John is alive at that time. Revelation most likely written in the late 60's by John speaks of what was about to happen.
The kingdom of God is spiritual not physical. Revelations is the revelation of Jesus Christ, not end of the cosmos. “Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.””
Luke 17:20-21 ESV
Not sure about this. We’re still waiting on a physical, third temple.
I assume you mean where Revelations talks about the end of the age. But there's also verses in revelations talking about a real end times similar to what Daniel talks about.
@@corneredfox7216 Jesus never taught this. John 18:36 is an example of many.
@@soraroxesventerra Daniel is talking about Jesus ending the old covenant, ehich He did.

Technically, Elijah was taken into heaven, 2 Kings 2:11, "Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven." Just a thought.
But no man has lived more than a day of God
The co-writer of the "The Shack" wrote another book under a different name called "So You Don't Want To Go to Church Anymore". It follows 13 conversations an associate pastor of a mega church has with a man that he comes to believe is the Apostle John still walking the Earth. It addresses political church culture vs the true teachings of Christ.
Okay y'all I know this is a stretch but play along with me in thought.
The two witnesses; everyone agrees on Elijia, its the second one that is a mystery.
We can believe that both witnesses must not have died at any point because the Word says, "it is appointed to man once to die then the judgement". This is why people want to speculate about John not dying. But "what if":
Let me take your mind to another mystery of the Bible to ponder. We are told that Michael fought with Satan over the "BODY" of Moses, not Moses' "SOUL". So, what made Moses body so important? We know that it would have been prepared in the usual way, so what's the importance of Moses' body? Nowhere else do we see the angels contending for a "body", why here?
Take a breath now and think before you respond, I told you it was a stretch, but "what if?"
What if Moses wasn't actually "dead" when he was prepared, but rather in a coma??? This would explain the importance of having possession of Moses' body.
We are told that no one knows where God put Moses' body. Think about it... Why couldn't God sustain Moses body until the time for witnessing came again?
My thought was to prevent the israelites from using it as idol. I think Enoch is the second, he got sent straight to heaven is like Elijah
Enoch did not go to heaven God took him so as not to experience a violent death at the hand of his enemies. Elijah was transported to another area he continued his work as a prophet after taken by God. @@Spriktor
The first time I came across this idea was a character in Marzulli's trilogy. Interesting idea. I don't believe it, but it's fun to think about and there are lots of stories throughout time about a man who doesn't age and keeps showing up at critical times and then is not found. Would certainly blow people's minds if true.
I am pretty sure the romans couldn't kill John because God kept him alive to write the Book of Revelation.
