Was brought up a strict athist and I have done the same to my Son (22ys). At 44 I have realised that my spiritual emptyness (I felt strongly from a young age) has been the route of my ill judgment in life. As I find Jesus where he always was, I feel ashamed I have passed this to my Child. My Journey is hard it will be even harder to penetrate the barriers I have but between my boy and Jesus. This is something of such importance I am using tools such as yourself to help. So, thank you for your contence🙏💓
I mostly rejected Christian beliefs and raised my eldest to be analytical . I also regret not having given him a better spiritual upbringing . We discuss stuff everyday and try not to preach the harsher lessons to breadcrumb him in.
Sarah, he can make all things work together for good. Keep following Jesus. As the fruit of the spirit begins to show in you and your life, people will see the change. They’ll see Jesus in you and God will use your testimony for his glory. Praying for you and your son. ❤
There is a lot of Americanization of the end times. I had Christian friends worrying about the recent eclipse as a sign, not realizing that eclipses happen often in different areas in the world. Not judging, but we need to be careful to not become a doom cult when we are supposed to help plant the seeds of life in this fallen world.
You didn't understand the eclipse, go and look up how the eclipse formed an Aleph and a Tav and this is taking place with the cows + the war. There isn't Americanization, there is either you know the season and can discern the times, or you'll be caught completely off guard and be in total shock. Go and research the eclipse and everything about its pattern. This wasn't your normal eclipse this was a TOTAL eclipse those don't happen frequently, you're getting that one confused with the others. They also do not tend to cross in the patterns they did during a 7 YEAR CYCLE IT WAS DEFINITELY A WARNING SIGN, eclipses are also tied to earth quakes, if you were paying attention that day, the frequency of earthquakes have picked up. California has had over 1k earthquakes in a single week alone. The season is here and things are ramping up. By the way, the bible describes an eclipse right before Jesus christ comes back, when he was crucified there was an eclipse that day and guess what it was? A TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE You know whats written in the Bible as this happened? The earth split open, does that not sound like a description of an Earth quake? Guess where the eclipse took place on april the 8th in space, it was in pisces, guess where the eclipse was when jesus was crucified, it was located in the same constellation, 2000 years later and its the same area when you can see the world falling to ruin. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to have understanding and wisdom through reading the word of GOD. Read the Bible, trust the word directly from GOD. Anyone telling you different against the bible they are not your friend. KJV Only, the last one that had the power of a KING behind it not the NIV or any other bs written by Betty and Susan. God also tells you in Genesis he made the Moon and the Heavens for SIGNS AND SEASONS, LITERALLY GO READ THE FIRST BOOK.
I’m an American, but everything is not about us! I think a lot of Americans forget this, because we have had it too good for too long, and are spoiled as a nation. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to live in China or Iran, but Americans tend to get tunnel vision on a lot of things.
IMHO, most Christian Yanks are ahistorical dorks who even ignore "inconvenient" scripture to seek entertainment and drama out of their belief/faith in Christ, not work and responsibility. Focus should be on salvation, not on when. "Behold, the bridegroom comes at midnight!" Everyone trying to guess when to set their alarm clicks, and not bother keeping watch over their own souls. My 2, judgmental cents.
Yup. This is discerning the times! Luke 12:56 "Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?"
@@inchristalone25Grace isn't an excuse for spiritual laziness. Kingdom work should be something we be glad to do in all forms of it. We should live like He's coming back today and be fearful and in awe of Him. Remember He is sovereign, just, righteous, holy, and yes love. Jesus doesn't just say listen to me. He says to hear Him and do the things He says. Don't do them out of fear of wrath or condemnation nor for reward, but do them as a sense of either responsibility and in joy. No groaning and complaining. The message of grace and love is not to be watered down. The gift of salvation yes is free, but your sanctification and purifying journey should be taken seriously. Love the things God loves and in all the you do. Do it for the glory of God. Love and Lord bless you.
“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.” Revelation 1:3
This was written to the Jewish Christians in the 7 churches. They were the ones cursed if they added to this book, not us. Because it was not written to us. It was written to them. The book was actually fulfilled in the first century.

On March 26th 2022, just past midnight, I was restless in bed, my limbs became numb & tingly, my chest became tight, & my heart felt like it was being crushed. So I sang out to God and Jesus, about my pain, my feelings, my faults and my inabilities.
As I sang, I began to feel like a river, & a hand was on my back, it's fingers where skimming the surface of the waters, separating the waters, causing ripples through my body. Then the hand reached inside my chest, lit my heart on fire, & the heat moved like waves through my body. When I was done singing, all the pain was gone, & I looked at the clock, it was past 1am, I had sang near an hour.
Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above, & there was a hymn of energy in the air, the same hymn I hear in my dreams of God. Hallelujah to the Lord my God for healing my heart! Hallelujah for His son Jesus for saving my soul! Hallelujah for every day! Hallelujah for every breath! The Lord is Faithful and true! May the Lord Bless your hearts, so that you have the will and strength to turn from selfish sins, and flee from the slaveries of the flesh!
DEATH of the CARNAL body ensues when AWARENESS leaves the flesh. By that time, most will have completed THE ONLY ETERNAL CREATION we can create from our temporary CARNAL EXILE from ETERNITY, the first creation, CREATOR'S HOME and the heaven we all seek. (Sometimes the life of the body ceases before the testament is complete - such instances are part of CREATOR'S PERFECT ETERNAL PLAN). Our thoughts and actions of free will AND their consequence become etched in TIME locked in the past... FOREVER UNCHANGEABLE. We can do of our free will ONLY those things we were CREATED TO DO. What we think and do was KNOWN JUDGED and deemed NECESSARY for us to do *FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF CREATOR'S PERFECT ETERNAL PLAN.* no matter how good or evil we judge them to be, else god is neither all knowing nor all powerful. When the flesh vanishes, the AWARENESS, accompanied by THE TESTAMENT are carried back to our ETERNAL POSTS. There, we hold our testaments HIGH - for ALL eternal creations able to parse time to see. There, we shall REPENT our terms for LIFE and reconcile agreement with CREATOR'S TERMS FOR ETERNAL LIFE, else we shall step back across the threshold to OBLIVION of our own free will. There is only 1 way to get to carnality. Those creations who agree with CREATOR'S TERMS for eternal LIFE are still in ETERNITY. Every landlord evicts tenants who REJECT the TERMS OF THE LEASE. This temporary EXILE from eternity serves 2 purposes. 1. It keeps our falsehoods hatreds sorrows discontent and iniquities OUT OF CREATOR'S HOME and the heaven we seek: ETERNITY REMAINS ABSOLUTE TRUTH PEACE LOVE JOY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS . 2. It allows UNWILLING creations to see FIRST HAND the consequences of OUR TERMS FOR LIFE so we can have OUR TESTAMENTS as PROOF by our own FREE WILL of the consequences of OUR TERMS FOR LIFE, that we may find the WILLINGNESS to REPENT our terms in lieu of CREATOR'S TERMS for ETERNAL LIFE. Creator's PURPOSE: to ensure and PROTECT absolute eternal TRUTH PEACE LOVE JOY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS in eternity. Creator's PLAN: to share the eternal purpose with creations WILLING to accept the only terms able to manifest the absolute virtues. Creator's TERMS for ETERNAL LIFE: ABSOLUTE ETERNAL TRUTH PEACE LOVE JOY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS. My first little white lie DESTROYED my ability to resolve absolute TRUTH in this temporary world. If our CREATOR does not PROTECT absolute TRUTH in eternity, we have no HOPE ever to find it. That first little white lie rendered it impossible to discover absolute TRUTH in this world .. FOR EVERYONE, not just me. I HOPE I can use the brain CREATOR grants me to learn to recognize my iniquitous behaviors and I HOPE I can replace them with RIGHTEOUS behaviors - - this is the only way I know to change iniquity to righteousness. I don't want to be holding a testament filled only with iniquity - FOREVER. Creator: HOW GREAT THOU ART - All is PRECISELY as it MUST BE - even for the least willing to complete their testaments. The consequences are UNBEARABLE - even temporarily - THANKYOU for showing us this pain, and thankyou for making it TEMPORARY - I can not bear it FOREVER. I shall be forever ashamed that MY TESTAMENT will include 50 years of adding my voice to the BILLIONS issuing the BLASPHEMY OF BLASPHEMIES. I would not invite enemies wars or abominations to MY home because I am not a MORON. I had NO authority accusing the SOURCE of my awareness of filling ETERNITY, YOUR HOME, with: eternal enemies, eternal wars, eternal abominations, and all things CONTRARY to ABSOLUTE ETERNAL TRUTH PEACE LOVE JOY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS. I was subverted by THE SHAMAN CLASS to accuse OUR PERFECT CREATOR of being the MORON who invited eternal enemies wars and abominations to HIS HOME! The hypocritical IGNORANCE which kept me in blasphemy for 50 years was not my doing ... you showed me that I must endure the consequences of the free will of ALL OTHER CREATIONS as they must endure the consequences of MY free will. Behold the falsehoods hatreds sorrows discontent and iniquities we would have brought to the heaven we seek, by OUR TERMS FOR LIFE. OUR TERMS are not worthy of eternal existence. Thankfully this unworthiness ends in this temporary reality, separated from heaven by TIME both for those able to learn the WILLINGNESS to REPENT, and those who never do.
I hope and trust you're telling THE TRUTH on God, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH! Prayers for you that you seek God with an honest heart and he leads you to heaven!😊❤❤❤
So many people saying that watching for the LORD's return and sharing the gospel are mutually exclusive. When I started watching, I began sharing the gospel and praying for people as never before. I've seen others doing the same. As one brother put it, "I can walk and chew gum at the same time." Since we are commanded to watch for the blessed hope, since we are told that we will see the day approaching, I won't let anyone steal that joy and anticipation from me. Some people are turning the blessed hope into the "blasted" hope. I was raised by an amillennialist pastor, a sincere and godly man, but then I read my Bible from Genesis to Revelation and finally got excited about our future. We won't know the day or hour, but we are not in darkness that that day should surprise us. It's the season. Come, LORD Jesus, we are eager for Your return!🙏
Yes, I saw a podcast with the people who helped find the cows. There were 5 that were taken from Texas to Israel and since then 2 have been taken out of consideration so now there are 3. The altar is ready and the cow needs to be sacrificed before this coming November for it to still be within the age that is needs to be according to the law.
“Nor from a foreigner’s hand shall you offer any of these as the bread of your God, because their corruption is in them, and defects are in them. They shall not be accepted on your behalf.’ ” Leviticus 22:25 NKJV If they are being meticulous about the other mandates why wouldn’t they of this one? Maybe they are just breeding them and the offspring born in Israel are the ones that will be used for the sacrifice. Regardless fear shouldn’t dictate our lives, pray, remember if we live we live for Christ if we die we die for Him. God bless ❤
Probably because this third temple will not be of God. Remember - Jesus is the only way. The theory is that there needs to be a temple where the two prophets witness to the world and where the abomination that causes desolation occurs - where the antichrist declares himself to be god half way through the seven year tribulation.
@kamarwashington faith or friction podcast has a few episodes about it. One of the guys on there is friends with the ranchers who provided the heifers that were sent to Israel. They also have video of the rabbis when went to inspect them and the whole process.
I spread the gospel and love to talk about end times. We can do both🥰✝️🙏 don’t add or subtract, nothing to fear in GODS prophesies but have joy in the WORD.
@@lavieenrose5954Matt 24:14 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come
We are just to be ready. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh. (Matt. 24:42-44.) We should embrace it and look forward to it as Christians for at that time we will be with Jesus. It's a glad time for Christians and we should do our best to spread the gospel and let the word of God save as many as possible.
That's why I see these fear mongering videos or look here, look there, THE END IS NEAR videos I just keep scrolling. Whether the end is tomorrow or a thousands years from now I am called to live a certain way and that way does not change based on when that day is. I am just not worried about it. I will be with Him in short time either way it literally make NO difference to me. It's sad to see brother and sisters who cried out here it is or there it is so many times before only to deceive those who are unmatured in the faith. I appreciate the wisdom in Nate's response on this topic.
Not for us to be scared...but for us to be warned and prepare... Luke 21:36 "Therefore watch always and pray that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen and to stand before the Son of Man.”
My grandfather always said to do God's work and make sure your spiritual house is in order. And as long as that is true, the book of Revelation isn't something for us to worry about. We should be living as if Jesus is coming in the next hour, no matter what. And as someone who has more years behind me than ahead of me, I agree.
Ezequiel 33:7-9 Yes if you know the truth is your duty to speak when you see the signs But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.” I Thessalonians 5:4 we are ought to know when we are close and proclaim it
To answer your question about whether we should see this as a primary or secondary issue: in terms of the Great Commission, its definitely secondary, BUT, Jesus also told us to discern the times we're in, and when He was talking about the abomination of desolation in Daniel, Matthew emphasises "whoever reads, let him understand". Plus Jesus gives us the parable of the wise and foolish virgins to inform us to be prepared for the times, and He gave us signs for the "beginning of birth pains", so I don't think it's wise to suggest that it's so unimportant that we don't need to study this stuff for ourselves. Luke's Gospel put it this way, when Jesus said "when you see these things taking place, look up, for your redemption draws near". I can respect Nate for not wanting to look into it, I completely understand. It's really hard emotionally and mentally to look into this stuff. But I really get the feeling that Nate hasn't looked into it very much, if at all, and his views are also bleeding into this video. But as a brother, I say this with all love and respect, for we are all children of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Bless you all
I agree 100% with your take. I do agree with Nate to some degree that I see many Christians in some circles becoming borderline obsessed with End Times to the point that they make proclamations that cannot be backed up and when they don't come true they open the door to mockery from everyone. That being said, it isn't really a secondary issue to understand the signs of the times. Jesus did warn us blatantly what are and what are not signs of the times. Jesus felt it was important for us to know that there would be an "abomination of desolation" and Paul further emphasized this in 2 Thessalonians, as well. So, we are supposed to be aware of flags being raised showing that the time is drawing near and those signs are supposed to be interpreted by us to some degree (it encourages us to study scripture) and it also encourages us to be more quick in our eagerness to convert people because Jesus will come back like a thief in the night. So, we need to be doing our jobs as evangelists like the end is right around the corner because to some degree it very well might be and the anti-christ could rise up right under our noses and Jesus will come back shortly after.
Yeah Nate is an amillenial - spelling?- found out on a video with Ruslan. Nothing wrong with that as it’s secondary but I see a lot of the same arguments from this group. It saddens me a little that they’re missing the element of excitement from the signs we’re seeing but they interpret things differently. I guess they’ll have to change their views mid flight 😂
The last days are Israel's 70th week which never actually came because they fell and diminished (Romans 11:11-12) and a Dispensation of Grace for the Gentiles came instead (Ephesians 3:1-2) through Paul. Paul said that the Day of the Lord shall not come except the man of sin be revealed. The man of sin being revealed is what kicks off Israel's 70th week: the last days. Which is also the season that Paul said we have no need that he write to us about: it isn't for the Body of Christ Church. It's Israel's prophecy, not ours.
@bugsocsollie1694 whoa whoa hold up. I originally wasn't going to respond to anyone's comments underneath this one, but there's some wild misinterpretations here. 1st: Romans 11:11-12 is NOT a talking about a fulfillment of end times prophecy, it simply says that because Israel (God's chosen people) have rejected His Son (but this WILL change when He returns), God's mercy and grace has also been extended to the Gentiles (ie - anyone who's not born of Jewish descent). 2nd: Ephesians 3 at large talks about God's plan of redemption spoken of by the prophets in the Old Testament has been revealed and God Himself appointed Paul to preach it to the Gentiles. Having verses 1-2 somehow only talk about how Israel was forsaken is complete blasphemy, as verse 6 says "And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus." (NLT) 3rd: yes, Paul did indeed write in 2nd Thessalonians that the final week (7 years) wouldn't start until the Man of Sin is revealed, he also said that "the great rebellion" needs to take place simultaneously. The great rebellion is the church of christ globally falling away, though not all of it. Which BTW makes what Jesus and the prophets prophecies absolutely for us AND the Israel. I encourage you to go back and read those scriptures in context and really spend a lot of time understanding it, because God has not and will not forsake His people. God bless.
@TallyCat1 Romans 11 shows Israel's prophecy program put on hold temporarily as salvation has come to the Gentiles temporarily. Romans 11:25. Ephesians 3 is not fulfillment of Israel's OT Prophecy, it is what God had planned before the world began but was never revealed in Scripture. It was hid in God, not in Scripture, since the world began. Ephesians 3:9. In this Dispensation of Grace there is no distinction made between Jew and Gentile. Before (and after) this Dispensation, there was a distinction made (go not by way of the Gentiles). The 144,000 are distinctively Jews.
We are called to watch and hold steadfast in our faith of what Jesus has done. We are not given to the spirit of fear but to understand that these things that are happening are suppose to happen according to God will. Let go of what you want to happen and be thankful no matter what happens. It took me the better part of three years studying and looking at things that no matter what praise God for everything even more when things go wrong. It took me 14 years of thinking I could do things on my own to realize it's never been about me. Have a great night brothers and sisters because Jesus has the victory!
Thank you for this. Ive seen a lot of videos pop up on my feed lately about the end times, but have tried to not entertain them. I love the honest breakdown of all of these "claims of prophecy". You make it clear and easy to understand. We should not be fear mongering! ive even had non christians ask me about the red heffer thing and have had no idea what to tell them. Thank you for blessing us with your ministry!
Well said, thank you for another thoughtful message. It's such an encouragement and blessing to hear/see like-minded believers. This topic came up a few days ago in my family's Bible reading time. We've been going through the Gospels and we just read the part in Luke when Jesus predicts the destruction of the Temple so talk of end times, and when Jesus is coming again, naturally came up. Those were practically the words I told my daughter, "I don't know and since not even Jesus knows that's okay." One thing we also talked about was so many times when Jesus starts talking about end times He commands "Do not let anyone deceive or mislead you...." (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21) in Luke 21:8 he even continues saying ".....for many will come in My name [appropriating for themselves the name Messiah which belongs to Me alone], saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near!’ Do not follow them. (AMP)" So how I see it, if someone is saying the time is near for Jesus' return that we should not listen or follow them so that we won't be deceived. Now some may say "But these people aren't claiming to be the Messiah." I have this question, if someone is claiming to know something that even Jesus doesn't know, isn't that claiming the role of Messiah, trying to elevate themselves above Jesus? Another thing to focus on is Jesus tells us when we hear about these things to not be afraid, they have to happen for God's glorious will. So like our Jesus. "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] (John 16:33 AMP) I have encountered people who have said, "We've seen wars, we've seen natural disasters, we've seen incurable diseases but Jesus hasn't come back so the Bible must not be true. In Matthew 24:8, Jesus says all these things are merely the beginning of birth pains. Not the end but the beginning of. Any woman who has birthed a child and anyone who has assisted, knows at first the birth pains are small and far between, but as it gets closer to the baby being born, contractions get more painful and closer together. Continuing with this, nobody knows when a baby's going to be born. Even after the contractions have started, it might be a couple hours, it might be a couple of days. We can't predict God's timing because He is timeless (1 Peter 3:8-9). But, like the pain is forgotten once the child is born because of the joy, it will be the same when Jesus returns, the pain will be forgotten. That joy will erase all memory of the pain. He will be finished making all things new. Praise God!! Hahaha this comment was way longer than I meant. Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the comments. And I've forgotten my reason for commenting. I am interested in joining the Patreon (sp??) group talked about but I can't find it. I'm sure it's a matter of "If it was a snake it would have bit me.", but will someone help me find it please? Thanks for the help. 😊

I've thought this all along and am so glad to hear you say this!! We do the Church no favor when we allow ourselves to be distracted from what Jesus set for us to do for His Kingdom!
I can sum you up in 2 words..A Blessing! Your sincere desire to not affend and your continuous return to " what do the scriptures say and bare witness to " is not only helpful but a blessing. I thank God for you and your dedication to serving him and his commission
My book says the same things. Be a blessing to your spouse, family, fellow believers, and the community that you live in. Honor God in your prayer closet amd in your actions. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Witness to others about your faith and God's goodness without forcing it on them. Never seek to take advantage of anyone's weaknesses or addictions, and do not entertain addictions in your own life. And, it specifically warns against the waste of faith in being distracted by end time prognostications. Do God’s will. Period.
Great video, Nate. I totally agree. Many times, we argue about different doctrines instead of doing our job and sharing the Gospel to a lost and dying world.
Well said! I appreciate your perspective and would agree on most everything you said, but especially about the importance of being gracious to other people. Thank you for the video!
Yes, it's been the same for many years ago. I remember a guy who made videos only about the eclipses and how that was a sign of the end time. I'm with you on this. Keep the good work. God bless you!
It seems in Matthew 16 Jesus rebukes his generation for not knowing the signs of the times and in Romans 13: 11-14 Paul admonishes us to know the times. In Matthew 24 the disciples asked Jesus what the signs would be for His second coming and the end of the age. Not sure I see the harm in being "watchful" for these things.
Agree 100%. I was a premill dispensationalist for about 20 years. Then while in college getting my history degree I took a lot of ancient Roman courses and kept thinking to myself the bible predicted this and that event throughput the courses spot on. I had always thought those events would be in the future. Then I truly got saved about 3 years ago and haven't put the word down since. I started reading the New Testament IN CONTEXT, and not just versus here and there. Next I went back to read the Old Testament and it becomes so crystal clear when read from an Amillennial and/or Post-Millennial view point. The Old Testament and Revelation used to make me scratch my head trying to figure it all out. Most is easy now, and brings me closer to God and in aww as I see all the prophecies fulfilled time and again, and knowing the Kingdom is here and now, that God's spirit dwells within the holy temple of our bodies TODAY
...so, you no longer believe that the Millennial reign of Christ on the earth is no longer a literal Christ reigning on the earth with His throne in Jerusalem?
@1969cmp It is literal... as the new testament says he is CURRENTLY sitting on the thrown of David at the father's right hand in the new Jerusalem. "The kingdom is here, right now [29ishAD] "
@@1969cmp You have to understand the apocalyptic style the book of Revelation was written with, as well as the phrase coming on the clouds in the old testament. Coming on the clouds is a phrase used in the old testament when God sent judgement on Egypt by sending his wrath down on them. So when that phrase is used in apocalyptic poet language in Revelation Christ did return and cast judgment on all the non-believing Jews in the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD. He warned that would happen to that generation during the olivet discourse. As well as warned them when you see the armies of Rome surround Jeruselum (abomination of desecration) to flew to the mountains of Judea. So the believers of Christ who listened all fled the city and was saved from Christs return and judgment on the Jewish people. So yes he has returned. Not the final return of course and end of all things, for no man is to know when that time will come as he told his apostles later on in the same conversation.
@@joshgravlee Jesus has not returned. When He does return, He will usher in His Millennial reign and that has not happened, yet. Also, the Beast/Anti-Christ of Revelation 13 has not yet happened and nor has the seven year Tribulation period, which is also Daniels 70th week aka The time of Jacob's Trouble. When Jesus returns to the earth, the whole world will know.
Amen. Well said my good man. Those four words create a small gap that we should always have open. For grace, hope, love, and fellowship is all we need for one another. Be busy doing God's work when He comes back, creating disciples, not worrying about things that are purposefully kept from us. Only th Father will ever know th time and day... Fantastic channel brother! ❤
Started smoking as a result of anxiety,mostly due to worldwide destruction and death podcasts. Thankyou for somewhat calming opinions,now I feel more to study and share the word.
If you’re having anxiety you aren’t trusting God to be in control of all things. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” II Timothy 1:7 NKJV
I have to meditate on that scripture at all times definitely because i feel anxious often. I trust the Lord and I hate that i feel anxiety in this life because His track record is flawless and God has never let me down. When i cant see where to go and i cant do much on my own, ive done all i can...praying for Him to order my steps. @@japexican007

Thank you for this message. I always tell other Christian’s that we choose this day whom we shall serve. Everyday is the potential for us to meet our Lord. So serve Him today as tonight any of our days may end suddenly.
Thank you so much for speaking to your brothers and sisters that need guidance in a fallen world! It’s so easy to get caught up and swept away in what we think we should do versus what Jesus tells us to do! God bless you!
I doubt almost anyone thinks the birth of a red heifer will BRING ABOUT the end of the world. but we DO recognize that if those red heifers are planned to be used to dedicate a new temple, the Jews must be planning to build that temple. and if they do, it's simply another sign that we are on the cusp of the beginning of the end.
@@jupiterjones64 because it physically isn't there? The Dome of the Rock is in the way and Muslims would be outraged if it was built. What sort of question is that?
Or, it could be manipulation. Making you subscribe to a belief that compels you to support a particular view or people in order to perpetuate their position. Why would something so rare be connected to a building project or dedication of a temple? Why the extremely high unreasonable constraints or standards on the appearance of the red heifer. Numbers 19:2 only mentions it should have no defect, meaning it can't be lame, blind, or deceases, etc. It has nothing to do with whether there is a hair out of place or discolored. Do the scriptures have a "red heifer" requirement for building or dedicating a temple? If it does, then since there were 2 temples built that were recorded in the scriptures, can anyone provide the text where either Solomon or governor Zerubbabel/High Priest Jeshua followed this so-called "red heifer statute" prior to building the temple or during their dedication?
If you are only coming to Jesus for the end of times, you miss the point. Live your lives as Jesus wants whether it is your first or last day on this earth. I fall short at this point, but I'm trying to get better every day. Thank you for your message pastor.
Heaven will be great because we will be with Jesus, but we don't have to wait till then to experience his presence through the power of the Holy Spirit. You can get close to God right now! Spend time in his word and prayer. Remember, part of prayer is simply listening.
Great video. Thank you for presenting all of this information. Yours has to be my favorite Protestant channel. I’m not just saying that because you didn’t completely lambast Taylor Marshall, I personally don’t care much for most of his content and presentation style.
Yeah but "times and seasons" can be deacdes or hundreds of years. We have been in "End days" for 2,000+ years now. When Jesus walked the earth, THAT was the beginning of the end.
Jesus says differently. Acts 1:6-7 ESV [6] So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” [7] He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.
@@MochaZillanah well every sign is converging rn ! It doesn’t matter how bad times are we are told to look for specific things Israel become a nation again is the biggest, that generation shall not pass Jesus says in Matthew 24 implying the generation to at sees Israel’s return would also see his second coming
Like the times that Jesus talked about on the Mount of Olives? Those signs and times came and went exactly as our King told us. I recommend a deep dive into early church history by some of the apostolic fathers in through Augustine. Not that these men were infallible, but in their works they showed that Christ was no false prophet. They showed, in history, the trials and tribulation that Jerusalem suffered. Josephus give very detailed accounts of the temples destruction, the very thing Revelation is about and Christ was warning about during the Olivet Discourse.
@gregojeda572 that's nonsense. There is one way to the Father and that is through Christ. The very person the jews ended. They, to this day reject him. Christ is the true Israel. He is the promise to Abraham. It's not an ethnicity, but a set apart people. Rejection of Christ would prove the people who reject God's Messiah are not God's people. Christ is the only way. Don't look like zionist/'Brews are turning to Christ anytime soon. I pray they do, but christians, regardless of ethnicity, are God's chosen people.
Don’t worry about losing subscribers. You just got a new one. “I could be wrong.” Engaging the the body of believers through humility and grace will result in us focusing on what’s most important as you described in this message. Thank you.
There was something that was bothering me as I started my early Christian walk. My biblical world view was different than a lot of other people. I stated to just listen and try and figure out how they got to certain positions. As I started processing this, it started to click. As a Christian our world view is greatly shaped by our eschatology, even if we aren't really sure what that is. I have attempted to keep my mind open to the arguments on all sides and let scripture speak. It is with my great frustration that there are very few, in modern reformed circles, that give much clarity on their eschatological view. I listen and I just groan. At least with McArthur, as an example, I can see and read scripture with him and he articulates his position well. Most of the things I've seen on postmillennialism, for an example, just ends up leaving me more confused. I recently watched what was supposed to be a "primer" on postmillennialism and after about the 20th time of hearing "the most symbolic book in the Bible", I came to the realization that he was probably struggling a bit on his defense of the book of Revelation. If one starts to take portions of it literally, it seems that the doctrine starts to fall apart. I cringe a little when a Christian overuses phrases like "Biblical scholars". Rabbinic Judaism, as an example, has a whole host of "Biblical scholars" coming to incorrect conclusions. In the past, there were scholars that couldn't figure out how Israel was going to become a state again and how God was going to gather them back. We had all kinds of very problematic doctrine come out of these analysis, including things like replacement theology. I admit I'm rather new to the faith, so I struggle with how anyone - especially well respected "fathers" could come to these conclusions reading Romans 11, as an example. What am I saying all this? I've decided to challenge tradition and simply study deeply the Word. One of those areas, right now, is the Kingdom of heaven/God. I've heard Nate give his position on it and I haven't found it to be.... complete.... He has a far more rounded and complete understanding of scripture, but I recall scripture that doesn't seem, on the surface, to support his overall view. There area solid pastors today that encourage us to read more dead people. I agree and i've started to. However the Holy Spirit is my teacher. Meaning, I must compare all things against scripture no matter how much I respect them. I'm constantly bombarded with mental warnings when listening to sermons or reading books. I admit this is probably the first time I didn't finish Nate's video, I'll try and go back later. it's not that he offended me, but there was something about his mannerisms this time around. He seemed to be very worked up over this. I had seen part of this Tim Pool conversation, as I was curious what the secular world was coming up with. I had no idea that the other person was Catholic. I'll have to watch that portion again, because he didn't sound very knowledgeable. I was actually confused watching the first 12 or so minutes. I'm not consumed by prophecy, but I do keep in the back of my mind things like "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.". I've also been going through Mark 13 and I see things like "And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.". I'm not sure how Nate handles all these things, but if our Lord Jesus said it I have to figure out how all of these things fit in the timeline of history. I'll study, listen to the opposing views, and pray for discernment.
Daniel 12:10“Many shall be cleansed and made white, and refined. But the wrong shall do wrong - and none of the wrong shall understand, but those who have insight shall understand. This was foretold in Daniel about the prophecies concerning the end of the age. We must be confident that what we will know and understand so that we can follow the events as they unfold. What we need to make sure is that we are learning from Scriptures and listening to Wise teachers and not evil men. If we can understand then that means we are not grouped with the "wrong".
You are the temple for the Holy Ghost. In the New Jerusalem: Jesus Christ is the temple. The river of eternal life flows from Him and His thrown. We are the tree, planted by those waters, who’s leaf does not whither, and we produce fruit in season for His harvest, fruit of the Spirit, when we abide in the Branch, who is also the Root of David. The Father is the vine dresser, chastising us/ the Spirit convicting us of sin, so we will produce more fruit of the Spirit. Our leaf doesn’t whither, and it heals the nations, because we are Rooted in the Word, which is the seed, and is the Christ of God… which produces much fruit because He died for the remission of our sin, and was raised again by the power of God, where He sits on the right hand of the Father… so heaven and earth passes away, but we do not pass away, because we have life eternal believing and abiding in the Word of God, Christ Jesus.
I'm glad Nate seems to be a Partial Preterist. Only thing is, is that the end of the age& End Time is referring to the end of the Old Covenant age. Like the Apostle Paul said, "What is passing away will become obsolete". Heb 8:13
We live in the end times, or as Paul calls it, Perilous times; but that doesn't mean we should stop and focus on the prophecies or writings and be worried if the world will end. That would be like people running a race stopping and worrying about whether the finish line is past, a few feet ahead, or miles away still. Runners should run till the race is finished. Christians should focus on sharing the gospel of Christ instead of whether the end is around the corner. Jesus said it best, If I would that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me. We may disagree on the perspectives of the end times, but we all should agree that the answer is the gospel of Christ. If the return of Christ is soon or far off, we should be sharing His gospel regardless. You made some good points, Bro. Nate! It's easy to see world events and claim Christ is returning, but if we truly believe it, why don't we be more like the apostles and tell the world about the Savior instead of focusing on the events. No one knows the time of Christ's return, so we should be sharing Christ more than ever.
I used to be in this kind of thing. Now, Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels; Though I am versed in all kinds of knowledge and prophecies and have not Love, I am nothing! I Cor. 13, and other passages in the Scripture is where I stand. I am subscribed. Love you Brother!❤
If we are Biblically literate and born again we will know the season of the end. We certainly won't know the day or even the year, but we will know the season.
the text says we will not know the "day or the hour", but nothing is being said e.g. a year or a month. that would mean we can know roughly the time frame of the end.
What if we- as born again, Holy Spirit dwelling believers are 'the new temple'? So already built! No red heifer needed here- Only by the blood of the Lamb! Praise Jesus! Stay awake- watchful and prayerful, Keep your lamp filled with the oil of His spirit, trimmed of the burnt up no good stuff in our lives whilst investing your gift into kingdom business! Maranatha! Love your channel and work for the Lord, Nate bro. Blessings
I think that's exactly what the bible teaches. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. Eph 2:19-22 Do you not know that you[c] are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple. 1 Cor 3:16-17 You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Pet 2:5 All the Glory of Ezekiel's temple is actually the Church. Ezekiel's glorious life-giving river, also seen in Isaiah 66 and Revelation 22, is the Holy Spirit (John 7:37-39).
@@hudjahulos Amazing! Thank you for the references to scripture. With God's help I hope to understand and apply to my life. Glory to God! Thanks again brother ❤
I fully agree! But do the Jews know this? Apparently not. So the Tora remains as their religious guide and, for them, building a third Temple is still a needed.
Recalling when the prayer of Jabez was beaten to death, some years ago, this is just another thing to cause angst and division for some, but “this is so stupid” by others, including me. You shouldn’t have had to address this topic, but I’m glad you’ve done so for those who need to put it to rest. Thank you, Nate!!!
“But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.”
@@DetVen the verse being referenced is Daniel 10:13 not sure why the original comment didn't include it. Or why they only quoted it without expanding on the ideas.
Nate, thank you for covering this...the night TimCastIRL had this guy on, you had a live stream of one of your videos, and i mentioned this in your chat, and your awesome mod Angela Cara asked me who the guest was and what they were talking about. I knew you would bring levity to this for me. Thanks buddy.
Personally I believe we’ve been living in the ‘end times’ since roughly 70AD. 😂 some people get so caught up in the minutia that they lose sight that it will be a bad day a lot of people, a great day for the rest. Our job is to help make it a great day for more people by preaching, teaching, serving God and His people.
Id see the end as not a time to fear but a time of excitement for the rapture. 😅 But the reality is, some people want it to be the end because they're just tired....of our world.
True when I was an atheist I tried to kill myself. This was not nesseraly due to severve mental illness it was this world. I now have a different understanding of the point of this Earth school and my weight lifted somewhat. Amen 🙏💓
When we are raptured, everyone we have failed shall be cast into damnation. The Lord does not haste the day wishing all would come to repentance. We ought not to wish it upon ourselves any sooner knowing full well how many are fallen.
Thank you for being such a reliable and intelligent learning source for the Christian believer. Great video lesson! I appreciate you so much. God bless✝️
While I don’t think there will be a time when no one thinks “ah the end is here” I think based on what we are told, if there’s a mass amount of attention on the potential end times due to certain events, it’s likely not the end times
I'm Postmillennial, so whenever I see headlines or RUclips videos like this I just roll my eyes. It's all fear, and people get hyper fixated on this and it distracts us from our duty as Christians to spread the kingdom.
Post millenial means that person believes no Christian will be taken up to Heaven until the very end when Jesus returns to earth to strike down Satan. The belief is that everyone including Christians are supposed to stay on earth and suffer God's wrath and destruction of the planet for seven years, when the anti-Christ is in charge and killing all believers in Christ. Both Catholics and Protestants push as the truth. But if you so your own study, you will discover that Jesus said we are not here for His wrath, He's going to take us like he said people in the old Testament. @tommiepattonkendrickiii1617
Whether Jesus comes back today or 1000 years from now. It makes no difference to me. I am called to live a certain way right now and that way never changes. I do not worry, I am not anxious. I will be with Jesus soon enough, we all will our life is like a vapor. If you're worried for other because you think the end is near just share the Gospel. Plant the seed, it is always the same and let God deal with the soil of the heart. Thanks for your wisdom on this Brother Nate.
Part 1/2 I can appreciate your faith but when you say "Whether Jesus comes back today or 1000 years from now." this is a lie. The Bible has a framework from Genesis 1-Revelation 21 (Revelation 22 is us entering eternity) is based on a finite period of time and that amount of time is 7000 years. 6000 years of the dominion of mankind +1000 reign of Jesus. Jesus will return on or before the year 6000 and reign for 1000 years. Today this is debated but I will show you a lot of evidence that proves this framework, this is what has always been taught. from like 350AD all the way backwards to Genesis 1-2. In Genesis 2 it says 15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Now we know Adam ate. Did he die in the next 24 hours? No. Genesis 5:5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. So is GOD a liar? No. Our job is to figure out how both of these statements are true. We are given the biblical cipher. Psalm 90:For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night. 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. The truth is that Adam died in the first "day" 930 years which was in the 1000 years. Year 1000 would be the end of Day 1. Abraham (according to the genealogies in Genesis 5,10) lived in the year 2000 or end of Day 2) David year 3000 or end of Day 3. Now there is some debate whether Jesus's crucifixion was the year 4000 (end of Day 4) or if 70-75AD was the year 4000. So the year 6000 is between 2032-2075. This has been known since Genesis 1-2. This is a very basic biblical concept and it's sad to see so many who don't know this. We see this in early Christian Church writings: Barnabas, AD First Century “Therefore, children, in six days, or in six thousand years, all the prophecies will be fulfilled. Then it says, ‘He rested on the seventh day.’ This signifies at the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus, He will destroy the Antichrist, judge the ungodly, and change the sun, moon, and stars. Then He will truly rest during the Millennial reign, which is the seventh day.” Epistle of Barnabas 15:7-9 Commodianus, AD 240 “We will be immortal when the six thousand years are completed.” Against the Gods of the Heathens 35 “Resurrection of the body will be when six thousand years are completed, and after the one thousand years, the world will come to an end.” Against the Gods of the Heathens 80 Victorinus, AD 240 “Satan will be bound until the thousand years are finished; that is, after the sixth day.” Commentary on Revelation 20.1-3 Methodius, AD 290 “In the seventh millennium we will be immortal and truly celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.” Ten Virgins 9.1 Irenaeus, 180AD "For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded. And for this reason the Scripture says: "Thus the heaven and the earth were finished, and all their adornment. And God brought to a conclusion upon the sixth day the works that He had made; and God rested upon the seventh day from all His works."(6) This is an account of the things formerly created, as also it is a prophecy of what is to come. For the day of the Lord is as a thousand years;(7) and in six days created things were completed: it is evident, therefore, that they will come to an end at the sixth thousand year. Against Heresies 5:28 Papius First Century “I was taught by the Apostle John, himself, that after the resurrection of the dead, Jesus will personally reign for one thousand years.” Papias, Fragment 6 Now Jesus and Scripture have given us a number of signs to watch for. But here's the problem most Christians think of Eschatology or the study of the end times as a minor topic. Eschatology makes up over 1/3 of Scripture. There are over 150 chapters in Scripture that reference the 2nd Coming event. There are more than 5x the number of prophecies surrounding the 2nd Coming than the first Coming. Eschatology runs from Genesis 1-Revelation 22. It is mentioned in almost every book (I think Proverbs doesn't). Eschatology is by far the most discussed topic in Scripture and touches every doctrine including salvation. It affects your biblical worldview. This is why Jesus connects Revelation and the Gospels to Genesis. It's all connected. This is why He says His return will be like the Days of Noah and Lot. Eschatology today is the greatest weapon we have for evangelism. It's like the LORD sees the lost world and has said ok Here's the greatest weapon for you to battle with, I will tell you the future. John 13:19 "Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am." The reason it's so divisive is because the Pastors and teachers are so ignorant about it, so Christians are ignorant about it. It's sad to watch. Is this topic expansive? Yeah. Can it be a bit complex? For sure. But I want to help make it simple. If you after reading this see that we don't have 1000 years before Jesus's return then I have helped. (Continued in Part 2)
Part 2/2 So what if any is the significant of a few red cows? First, the one in 2018 developed blemishes so it was rejected, the ones in Israel now so far are blemish-free. A blemish-free one hasn't existed for 2000 years. It's needed to cleanse the materials for the rebuilding of the Temple. Here are some early Church Fathers writings We need to understand the lineage of disciples: Apostle John taught Polycarp. Polycarp taught Irenaeus, and Irenaeus taught Hippolytus. Irenaeus (180 AD) “In 2 Thessalonians, the ‘falling away’ is an apostasy and there will be a literal rebuilt temple. In Matthew (24:15), the ‘abomination spoken by Daniel’ is the Antichrist sitting in the temple as if he were Christ. The abomination will start in the middle of Daniel’s 70th week and last for a literal three years and six months. The little horn is the Antichrist. Against Heresies 5.25 (notice literal Temple) Hippolytus (170-235AD): On the End of the World A Discourse by the Most Blessed Hippolytus, Bishop and Martyr, on the End of the World, and on Antichrist, and on the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. "Above all, moreover, he will love the nation of the Jews. And with all these he will work signs and terrible wonders, false wonders and not true, in order to deceive his impious equals. For if it were possible, he would seduce even the elect from the love of Christ. But in his first steps he will be gentle, loveable, quiet, pious, pacific, hating injustice, detesting gifts, not allowing idolatry; loving, says he, the Scriptures, reverencing priests, honoring his elders, repudiating fornication, detesting adultery, giving no heed to slanders, not admitting oaths, kind to strangers, kind to the poor, compassionate. And then he will work wonders, cleansing lepers, raising paralytics, expelling demons, proclaiming things remote just as things present, raising the dead, helping widows, defending orphans, loving all, reconciling in love men who contend, and saying to such, “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath;” Ephesians 4:26 and he will not acquire gold, nor love silver, nor seek riches. And at first, indeed, that deceitful and lawless one, with crafty deceitfulness, will refuse such glory; but the men persisting, and holding by him, will declare him king. And thereafter he will be lifted up in heart, and he who was formerly gentle will become violent, and he who pursued love will become pitiless, and the humble in heart will become haughty and inhuman, and the hater of unrighteousness will persecute the righteous. Then, when he is elevated to his kingdom, he will marshal war; and in his wrath he will smite three mighty kings, - those, namely, of Egypt, Libya, and Ethiopia. And after that he will build the temple in Jerusalem (notice literal Temple), and will restore it again speedily, and give it over to the Jews. And then he will be lifted up in heart against every man; yea, he will speak blasphemy also against God, thinking in his deceit that he shall be king upon the earth hereafter forever; not knowing, miserable wretch, that his kingdom is to be quickly brought to naught, and that he will quickly have to meet the fire which is prepared for him, along with all who trust him and serve him. For when Daniel said, “I shall make my covenant for one week,” Daniel 9:27 he indicated seven years; and the one half of the week is for the preaching of the prophets, and for the other half of the week - that is to say, for three years and a half -Antichrist will reign upon the earth. And after this his kingdom and his glory shall be taken away. Behold, ye who love God, what manner of tribulation there shall rise in those days, such as has not been from the foundation of the world, no, nor ever shall be, except in those days alone. Then the lawless one, being lifted up in heart, will gather together his demons in man’s for, and will abominate those who call him to the kingdom, and will pollute many souls. Section 23-25 (notice "And after that he will build the temple in Jerusalem (notice literal Temple), and will restore it again speedily, and give it over to the Jews.") Barnabas -First Century) “You can perceive that their hope is vain. Furthermore, the Lord said, ‘Behold, they who destroy this temple, even they will again build it up once more.’ This prophecy was fulfilled because the Jews went to war against their enemy. But even though they are now no more than servants to Rome, they will return and rebuild the temple. It was revealed that the city of Jerusalem, the temple, and the people of Israel were to be given up.” Epistle of Barnabas 16:5-7 The red Heifers need to be sacrificed before the Temple to be rebuilt and the rebuilding of the Temple will signal the last 7 years or 84 months before the 2nd Coming (Revelation 11:1-7, 13:1-7). There are a lot of signs getting ready to converge that we can see where we are on the biblical timeline. If say, for example, 2032 AD is the 6000th year then we should expect between Sept-December 2025 the Temple in Jerusalem to be built. Or it could be later but it is coming and it will signal the final 7 years before Jesus returns. Many will call me a date-setter and quickly quote Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. A LOT of Christians use this verse as a way to be ignorant about Jesus's return. To them, it seems that since we can't know the exact day and hour (which is what it means) gives us the ability to avoid studying over 1/3 of the Bible that the LORD has dedicated to this topic. Jesus is actually referencing a Jewish idiom here. There are 7 feasts in Scripture and Jesus fulfilled 4 of them. The next one is the "Feast of Trumpets" which is called the feast that no one knows the day or hour of. It's called that not because people have to guess the date of the feast but because it can begin at any moment within a 48 hour period. Unlike a Calendar date the Feast of Trumpets begins when the first sliver of the moon appears after the New Moon and 2 witnesses had to see it and report it to the high priest and then the feast would begin. So Jesus is confirming that He will return on the Feast of Trumpets in the year He does we just won't know the exact moment He will return. It's like if I said I'm going to my Parent's house for Christmas Dinner but I'm not sure if it'll be on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. So do I know the exact time of the dinner? No. Have I ruled out the other 363 days of the year? Yes. This is the meaning of the verse. Also, at the moment Jesus said it He was a man who gave up part of His divinity when He left Heaven, having now ascended (Acts 1) He knows when His return is. So we will never know the exact day or hour Jesus will return because there is a 48 hour window, and until the Temple is rebuilt we can't know when the final 7 years will begin. But we can see it on the horizon. It lets us know our KING is Coming. I hope this helps. Take care.
Amil here. Recently moved away from my Dispy church. Found an Amil reformed church. Such a great feeling getting away from those that interpret eschatology through headlines.
@@JesusistheonetrueGod A-Millenial. You should maybe research A-Millenialism, Post-Millenialism, Pre-Millenialism. It's the eschatological view of end times and when the kingdom of Christ was/is/will be.
This was a great video brother (as they all are)! I'm a new follower of your channel. But I feel that I needed to say this: I personally don't understand why your apologizing for what your saying? And I say that with total support. I 100% agree with you and that all these people making such a big deal of and trying to determine when the end of days will occur are absolutely reacting and behaving in a way that was clearly not taught in the scriptures. And that it is all a waster of time. We are supposed to be aware of the signs and be prepared, and to help others be prepared by sharing the gospel. Not behave and live our lives in this manner of fear and paranoia. So I applaud you for telling everyone what they NEED to hear! And I definitely don't think you should apologize for being loving by trying to steer people in the right direction and to live as Jesus taught, although I understand why you did. I love what your doing man. God bless you!
My answer is no,we must keep our eyes on Jesus,and work for the night will come when no man will,occupy until then,but we do not know,so no matter who is saying different,use out time here to win souls preaching the Gospel
I don't think a person can exegete Revelation without holding preterist, historicist and futurist views. "Write the things that were, that are, and that are to come."
@lavieenrose5954 On just a numbers game, the Earth is far more sinful than it was in Jesus' day, and that is not even counting the entire West's elevation of child sacrifice. If this is heaven, it sucks. And that is not even to mention that revelation was certainly written post 70 AD. "What was and what is and what is to com," still stands.
Thank you so much! This is where I had been falling for years but it did not align with many of my church friends! I believe that we are to focus on God, nothing else should be the priority.
Ok. I get that we should focus on GOD, but here's why this video is problematic I know Eschatology (study of the end times) isn't important to all Christians but it's important to the LORD.

Not only is it the most discussed topic in all of Scripture, we are living in the time the Bible is writing about. Are we in the "end Times"? Yes. This is one of the most basic biblical concepts. We know Scripture doesn't begin in eternity past, it begins with Creation and Adam and Eve and it ends as we enter eternity (Rev 22). It covers a finite period of time. That finite period of time is 7000 years from Genesis 1-Revelation 21 (as Rev 22 is as we enter eternity). 6000 years of the dominion of mankind +1000 reign of Jesus. Jesus will return on or before the year 6000 and reign for 1000 years.

Now there is some debate whether Jesus's crucifixion was the year 4000 (end of Day 4) or if 70-75AD was the year 4000. So the year 6000 is between 2032-2075. This has been known since Genesis 1-2. Assuming 2075AD is the year 6000 We are entering the last 50 years before the end of the dominion of mankind. This is where Eschatology begins not ends. The greatest evangelistic tool in all of Scripture has been given to us. The future. We don't have to date-set and say Jesus is coming back on May 25, 2055, at 5pm Central. We can simply use Scripture to say here are the events that are predicted and the order they are predicted to occur in the window of time we have. We all talk about "knowing GOD" but yet how many Christians know about the most covered topic in all of Scripture? Knowing GOD is not just knowing about GOD but also knowing why He does what He does. Knowing that this is His perfect plan and understanding why it's the perfect plan. Everything that is going on right now IS HIS plan. He's been actively collapsing America since January 30, 2020. He has allowed all of it to wake Christians up. See the LORD tells us that Abraham tried to save Sodom, that for all its sins the LORD would have spared Sodom if there were 10 righteous people (Genesis 18). That "IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME...TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS...I WILL FORGIVE THEM AND HEAL THEIR LAND." 2 Chronicles 7:14. He wants us to realize we as Christians are wicked before Him, that our hearts are not His. The most talked about topic in all of Scripture that runs throughout almost every book of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation is the time we are in and we have Pastors and teachers either avoiding the topic or screwing it up so bad that no one wants to listen. Eschatology is the heart of the LORD. Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants-things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. Now let's say for example 2032AD is the year 6000. It's possible. Here's what the early Christians had to say. We need to understand the lineage of disciples: Apostle John taught Polycarp. Polycarp taught Irenaeus, and Irenaeus taught Hippolytus. Irenaeus (180 AD) “In 2 Thessalonians, the ‘falling away’ is an apostasy and there will be a literal rebuilt temple. In Matthew (24:15), the ‘abomination spoken by Daniel’ is the Antichrist sitting in the temple as if he were Christ. The abomination will start in the middle of Daniel’s 70th week and last for a literal three years and six months. The little horn is the Antichrist. Against Heresies 5.25 (notice literal Temple) Hippolytus (170-235AD): On the End of the World A Discourse by the Most Blessed Hippolytus, Bishop and Martyr, on the End of the World, and on Antichrist, and on the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. "Above all, moreover, he will love the nation of the Jews. And with all these he will work signs and terrible wonders, false wonders and not true, in order to deceive his impious equals. For if it were possible, he would seduce even the elect from the love of Christ. But in his first steps he will be gentle, loveable, quiet, pious, pacific, hating injustice, detesting gifts, not allowing idolatry; loving, says he, the Scriptures, reverencing priests, honoring his elders, repudiating fornication, detesting adultery, giving no heed to slanders, not admitting oaths, kind to strangers, kind to the poor, compassionate. And then he will work wonders, cleansing lepers, raising paralytics, expelling demons, proclaiming things remote just as things present, raising the dead, helping widows, defending orphans, loving all, reconciling in love men who contend, and saying to such, “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath;” Ephesians 4:26 and he will not acquire gold, nor love silver, nor seek riches. And at first, indeed, that deceitful and lawless one, with crafty deceitfulness, will refuse such glory; but the men persisting, and holding by him, will declare him king... And after that he will build the temple in Jerusalem (notice literal Temple), and will restore it again speedily, and give it over to the Jews. And then he will be lifted up in heart against every man; yea, he will speak blasphemy also against God, thinking in his deceit that he shall be king upon the earth hereafter forever; not knowing, miserable wretch, that his kingdom is to be quickly brought to naught, and that he will quickly have to meet the fire which is prepared for him, along with all who trust him and serve him. For when Daniel said, “I shall make my covenant for one week,” Daniel 9:27 he indicated seven years; and the one half of the week is for the preaching of the prophets, and for the other half of the week - that is to say, for three years and a half -Antichrist will reign upon the earth. And after this his kingdom and his glory shall be taken away. Behold, ye who love God, what manner of tribulation there shall rise in those days, such as has not been from the foundation of the world, no, nor ever shall be, except in those days alone. Then the lawless one, being lifted up in heart, will gather together his demons in man’s for, and will abominate those who call him to the kingdom, and will pollute many souls. Section 23-25 (notice "And after that he will build the temple in Jerusalem (notice literal Temple), and will restore it again speedily, and give it over to the Jews.") Barnabas -First Century) “You can perceive that their hope is vain. Furthermore, the Lord said, ‘Behold, they who destroy this temple, even they will again build it up once more.’ This prophecy was fulfilled because the Jews went to war against their enemy. But even though they are now no more than servants to Rome, they will return and rebuild the temple. It was revealed that the city of Jerusalem, the temple, and the people of Israel were to be given up.” Epistle of Barnabas 16:5-7 If the rebuilding of the Temple shows us we are in the final 7 years before Jesus's 2nd Coming, then we might expect to see this occur around Sept -December 2025. If that's the case then we should see the Red Heifer sacrificed before then. Since the Red Heifer's ashes will be needed to cleanse the materials before construction. What's sad is that non-Christians are talking about these things and Christians aren't. Eschatology lets us know where we are on the biblical timeline. We won't know when the final 7 years begin until the Temple is rebuilt. However, we can see it coming on the horizon. I hope this helps.Take care.
@@mbfrommb3699 I appreciate your thoughtful reply. I was not saying it was not important, I was saying it can be used improperly and thus focusing on end times and not God right now. I love learning about eschatology, but I need to remember God has his own time and his own way.
When I was newly saved I was taught about an endtime temple. I've since, through study and ecological teachings, do not believe a third temple will be built. Why? Because Christ at his death tore the veil down and taught that we are the temple.
@@lavieenrose5954, so, the term 'End Times' is a term that's used to identify a period in time in which the 'birth pains' begin. It's a time when people are at their most WICKED, it's a time that mimics the days of Noah. This time period is when Bible Prophecy is quite literally LEAPING off the pages of The Bible. This is the time period that's right before the Rapture of the Church, 7 Year Tribulation (the time of 'Jacob's Trouble') and The Second Coming of Christ. It's viewed as the End Times because it's the time before the Millennial Reign of Christ Jesus, leaving behind the old wicked world that exists TODAY and all throughout our 6 thousand year history...
Matthew 24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." As predicted, there is a lot of deception about the end times from various angles. It is popular to say "it is not a salvation issue". In a practical sense, though, this will turn out to be the very error by which the acceptance of many deceptions will be allowed without due discretion. Being unaware of who the Antichrist is, many will ally themselves with him.
Matthew 24 was fulfilled in the first century with the destruction of Jerusalem and her temple in 70AD… Christ’s New Covenant is everlasting and has no last days ❤
@@lavieenrose5954 Preterism is a ruse propounded by the agents of Antichrist for the purpose of concealing his identity and presence, just as Futurism is. The destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. was certainly the fulfillment of Matthew 24:15-21 (Luke 21:20), but the second coming of Christ to gather the elect described in Matthew 24:29-31 has not been fulfilled. In 1 John 2:18, written ca. 85-95 A.D., the coming of Antichrist is acknowledged in future tense. Christ will not return until after the Mark of the Beast of Revelation has been instated and the death decree against those who keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ has been issued.

Looking at the future for the end times is like only looking right when crossing the road. Those who look both ways will safely make it to the other side.
We are told about the signs so we can discern the times. I don't think we are supposed to dissect the scriptures but we can discuss the signs of the times. We have to vigilant and pay attention as not to be decieved.
I agree I never talked about revelations too till recently it’s obvious we are in end times, it’s not meant to be scary for believers and it should be scary for unbelievers. Jesus said it so it would be known and told what to look for and to watch. I do not say I know the day or hour but it is nigh. John was taken into heaven to be should for a reason also, I believe it is to watch and be vigilant and to watch Gods Word to come to pass in his time he appointed it to🥰✝️🙏
You don't think we're supposed to dissect the Scriptures? Really? That doesn't make any sense... We're called to RIGHTLY DIVIDE the WORD, and we're called to read and STUDY the scriptures. That's LITERALLY DISSECTING the Scriptures in order to understand The Word and get closer to God.
@@gospelfreak5828, if you can't see that what's going on TODAY was ABSOLUTELY prophecied, I don't know what to tell you... I mean, what this Brother in the video has proven, it's that he has NO CLUE what he's talking about when it comes to this topic. I mean, I've been studying this since 2020 when all of this really started popping off. I can tell you first hand that EVERYTHING he covered: Red Heifers, Euphrates draining of water, this past eclipse and the Tetrads of Blood Moons, etc, he definitely knew NOTHING about. It's as if he didn't do ANY research at all. Very mind blowing...
Yes. The Bible teaches us the end times signs, it encourages us to study and understand these things, and it tells us to preach the word of God which includes these things.
But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 1 Thessalonians 5:4 To the unbelieving world, Jesus will return like a thief and catch them by surprise, returning in judgement.
Rev 3:3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.
Why did Jesus give us some of the warning signs? Lots of earthquakes in places they weren't before, here in oklahoma for example. I understand the parable of the servants keeping the lights on for their lords return and all, just curious
@@bonsaiavia7902So when you see these things beginning you will look up, because your redemption draweth nigh! So you can become ‘super’ vigilant in your “walk”! ❤️🔥🙏🙏🙏❤️🔥
I'll also add that Revelation comes with a blessing to those who take the time to read it, study it, and understand it to the best of our ability. We can't fully understand it without Daniel, however, yet the closer we come to its threshold, the more understanding we will glean. Also to note is the fact the Tribulation is a judgment against the unbelieving world and to bring Israel back to God. Christians alive today already stand with God, and are not under His condemnation or wrath. Thus, Christians who are alive before the Tribulation will be raptured--caught up--and taken out of this world while God pours out His wrath for seven years. But He continues to make a way for people to put their faith in Him during that time, thus we do have Tribulation saints mentioned. But those are people who won't come to faith until after the Rapture has happened and things start going south big time. Anyone who claims Rev 6-19 has already happened doesn't have an accurate understanding on those chapters. These events will be global and catastrophic. Nothing like it has taken place on a global scale before.
Matthew 23:39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ” Enoch 71:12 “And these blessings which went forth out of my mouth were well pleasing before that Head of Days. And that Head of Days came with Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel, thousands and ten thousands of angels without number.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Exodus 23:20-22 “Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him,for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him. But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. Enoch 69:14 “This (angel) requested Michael to show him the hidden name, that he might enunciate it in the oath, so that those might quake before that name and oath who revealed all that was in secret to the children of men. And this is the power of this oath, for it is powerful and strong, and he placed this oath Akae in the hand of Michael.” Deu 10:16-20 Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stiff-necked no longer. For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow,and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing. Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast, and take oaths in His name. Deu 6:13-15 You shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him, and shall take oaths in His name. You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you (for the Lord your God is a jealous God among you), lest the anger of the Lord your God be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth. Jude 9 Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” Daniel 9/11-12 Yes, all Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him. And He has confirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; for under the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem. Matthew 19:28-29 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.
I totally agree with what you said sister. I love brother Nate and appreciate his videos, but there are two types of Christians when looking at eschatology, those who study [specifically], eschatology and those who have no interest in studying the topic of eschatology. Which one would be closer to understanding last day events? Is Nate saying that we cannot do both; preaching the Gospel/making disciples out of all the nations AND seek to understand eschatology?! I think we can. After all, roughly 1/3rd of the Bible IS prophetic. If God has revealed to us the end from the beginning, are we not to seek it out to understand? Oh well, I will continue to serve Christ, preach the Gospel AND look up, for His coming to retrieve His Bride. He is the Bridegroom, to take His Bride to His Father’s House. ❤️
@@Curtlegger You are making this very black and white. There are 3 types of Christians when put into context with eschatology: those who study it specifically, those who don't at all, and those who believe it's important because truth is important, but simply feel like we shouldn't get all caught up in the technicalities of this stuff and therefore should focus on Jesus' command of going and making disciples of all nations rather than pursuing a fascination of doomsday conspiracies. I would consider myself the latter because distractions such as when the last day will come doesn't matter at all when it comes to proclaiming the gospel and sharing the love of Christ with others. Rather it usually has kind of a negative effect on people because it gets them more concerned with the last days instead of our main purpose as Christians, which is to become more Christ-like individuals and to lead others to do the same.
Revelation is addressed to 7 specific historical churches, the city on the 7 hills is pagan Rome, the beast is Nero, the mark of the beast is the Roman imperial currency, it's not about the present.
@@tomasrocha6139 That's Preterist heresy. You basically are saying Jesus will never come back and all the versus Jesus and Paul talked about saying Jesus would return once the abomination of desolation sets foot in the temple (which Nero didn't even do) are just lies or some obscure metaphor. Or worst case you are full Preterist and believe Jesus already had his second coming in which case, may God have mercy on you.
I was a severe alcoholic for years. I prayed to Jehovah and Jesus to take it from me. June 16th of 2024 will make a year sober and not wanting alcohol! Thank you Lord for hearing my cry.
You sound like your beliefs are amillennial. Are they? I have not found anyone online who will even explain these beliefs accurately. The idea that Revelation is primarily about the end of time has become so entrenched in people‘s minds that hardly anyone does anything but dismiss and mock any other interpretation. I agree that Revelation connects with the Old Testament prophecies. It is a Revelation of Jesus Christ and a warning against false teachings, not a description of physical events. The judgements and other events are spiritual. You are exactly right. We should not be unduly concerned with how the world is going to end, but with whether we are truly serving Him.
I am a premillenial, sort of, but I think anyone who has actually read Revelation should know that that book specifically highlights End Times prophecy. You cannot read that book in isolation when it jumps back and forth to other books in the Bible and to other verses said specifically by Jesus referring to the end times coming once the abomination of desolation sets foot in the Temple in Jerusalem. Even Paul says in 2 Thess, as well as 2 Timothy (I think, typing this from memory), about the Lawless One appearing and him being the marker of the final moments before Jesus returns. Sure, we can go into the seven trumpets and what they symbolize and even go into how prophecy works (regarding how prophecy comes in two phases, the already and not yet fulfilled parts) but that doesn't change the very real nature of how Revelation is referring to End Times specifically and very, very prudently highlights markers signifying major events that will take place accordingly.
@@CasshernSinz1613 Thank you for your reply. I agree that the Revelation does have much end-time prophecy. I also believe that the time of the end or the latter days referred to in the Bible is the whole era from Christ’s first coming to die for our sins to His second coming when He will finish this old world. Also many of the prophecies have a multi-tiered fulfillment. They have already been fulfilled, but they will continue to be fulfilled until the end of time. My beliefs are specifically the beliefs of those who were called the Anabaptists before and during the time of the Reformation. Some of the more prolific writers were Menno Simons and Dietrich Phillips. They believed that many of the prophecies were first fulfilled by the apostate church who was persecuting them. In any case, I am happy to see that there are premillennialists who are willing to agree that we are not meant to know all about the end times. God has given us enough information to recognize the imminence of the end, but He has told us that we will not know the exact time nor how everything will play out. He reserves the final glory for Himself. Praise Him!
The message of the end times to me is hope. The time will come when all comes to an end. If you look through the eyes of science. The universe may not disappear, but this planet and the solar system will. End of times for this planet. Still millions of years away. If you look into the Holy Bible, the signs are not small. They are for all to see. For all to hear. When the time comes all will know at once. The Holy Bible also set stages after all will know and all will see. The end of times is even further away after all will know. Hence hope. Even if we are near the time. Even the time of false prophets have not come. The time when mankind wears the Lord's mark on the forehead has not come. It is a secret and as the Holy Bible also has the test of man. I believe it is a test of mankind, not having secrets. Be aware we die. I die. They die. In the end. We do not. Again, hope.
1. Watch or you will not know “Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.” Revelation 3:3 NKJV 2. If you know that judgment is coming and you do not warn the people the blood is on your hands “when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’” Ezekiel 33:3-6 NKJV Noah Warned Moses Warned Jonah Warned Jesus Warned We should Warn of the upcoming judgement not just close our eyes to prophecy that’s being fulfilled for such a time as this Why are we in the end times: Biggest reason out of many: “For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.” Romans 11:25 NKJV The lifting of the veil of the Jews who are now accepting Jesus as their messiah which signifies the fulfillment of the “fullness of the gentiles” Lastly I am not concerned as to the saved in Christ, they can choose to ignore that we are in the end times, this is not a salvation issue, our main concern is to warn the lost and those who have not yet accepted Jesus The Christ. 1. Christ died (For Your sins) 2. Was buried 3. Rose again (the third day) Accept this truth and you shall not perish but have eternal Life by he who is The Life, Jesus The Christ!
also no "qualified" Red Heifers for over 2,000 years, aka no blemish white hairs. but it's their prophecy that tells us we are close to the tribulation, their prophecy says there have been 9 red heiffer sacrifices, the tenth according to them brings about their messiah and some even claim that "The messiah" is the one who sacrifices the 10th red heifer, the reason why this is a christian concept is because we know "THEIR MESSIAH" is THE ANTICHRIST. aka whoever claims to be "MESSIAH" IS STANDING IN THE PLACE OF GOD PROCLAIMING HE IS GOD" AKA THE ANTICHRIST. btw a christian from texas donated the red heiffers, also the biggest thing is the red heiffers have a limited time to be sacrificed, they have to be a specific age in order to qualify, they have to be 3 years old as per numbers 19
verses that I think Christian’s who critique those watching should heed: “But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 24:48-51 NKJV “And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Luke 12:38-40 NKJV “But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.” Luke 12:45-47 NKJV “Then He also said to the multitudes, “Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming’; and so it is. And when you see the south wind blow, you say, ‘There will be hot weather’; and there is. Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?” Luke 12:54-56 NKJV
Was brought up a strict athist and I have done the same to my Son (22ys). At 44 I have realised that my spiritual emptyness (I felt strongly from a young age) has been the route of my ill judgment in life. As I find Jesus where he always was, I feel ashamed I have passed this to my Child. My Journey is hard it will be even harder to penetrate the barriers I have but between my boy and Jesus. This is something of such importance I am using tools such as yourself to help. So, thank you for your contence🙏💓
I mostly rejected Christian beliefs and raised my eldest to be analytical . I also regret not having given him a better spiritual upbringing . We discuss stuff everyday and try not to preach the harsher lessons to breadcrumb him in.
We don't find Jesus we are lost He finds us
@@alfonsobecerra7960True.
Sarah, he can make all things work together for good. Keep following Jesus. As the fruit of the spirit begins to show in you and your life, people will see the change. They’ll see Jesus in you and God will use your testimony for his glory. Praying for you and your son. ❤
Blessings! I pray over your son-may Jesus reveal himself to him like he did to you!

There is a lot of Americanization of the end times. I had Christian friends worrying about the recent eclipse as a sign, not realizing that eclipses happen often in different areas in the world. Not judging, but we need to be careful to not become a doom cult when we are supposed to help plant the seeds of life in this fallen world.
You didn't understand the eclipse, go and look up how the eclipse formed an Aleph and a Tav and this is taking place with the cows + the war. There isn't Americanization, there is either you know the season and can discern the times, or you'll be caught completely off guard and be in total shock. Go and research the eclipse and everything about its pattern. This wasn't your normal eclipse this was a TOTAL eclipse those don't happen frequently, you're getting that one confused with the others. They also do not tend to cross in the patterns they did during a 7 YEAR CYCLE IT WAS DEFINITELY A WARNING SIGN, eclipses are also tied to earth quakes, if you were paying attention that day, the frequency of earthquakes have picked up. California has had over 1k earthquakes in a single week alone. The season is here and things are ramping up. By the way, the bible describes an eclipse right before Jesus christ comes back, when he was crucified there was an eclipse that day and guess what it was? A TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE You know whats written in the Bible as this happened? The earth split open, does that not sound like a description of an Earth quake? Guess where the eclipse took place on april the 8th in space, it was in pisces, guess where the eclipse was when jesus was crucified, it was located in the same constellation, 2000 years later and its the same area when you can see the world falling to ruin. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to have understanding and wisdom through reading the word of GOD. Read the Bible, trust the word directly from GOD. Anyone telling you different against the bible they are not your friend. KJV Only, the last one that had the power of a KING behind it not the NIV or any other bs written by Betty and Susan. God also tells you in Genesis he made the Moon and the Heavens for SIGNS AND SEASONS, LITERALLY GO READ THE FIRST BOOK.
It's not just America I swear people who aren't from here try to blame everything on us grow up
The 2 US Solar Eclipses aren't mere clockwork eclipses but clear Signs in the heavens, given what's going on in the world.... God's Perfect Timing.
I’m an American, but everything is not about us! I think a lot of Americans forget this, because we have had it too good for too long, and are spoiled as a nation. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to live in China or Iran, but Americans tend to get tunnel vision on a lot of things.
IMHO, most Christian Yanks are ahistorical dorks who even ignore "inconvenient" scripture to seek entertainment and drama out of their belief/faith in Christ, not work and responsibility. Focus should be on salvation, not on when. "Behold, the bridegroom comes at midnight!" Everyone trying to guess when to set their alarm clicks, and not bother keeping watch over their own souls. My 2, judgmental cents.
Our enemy wants us all divided and focused on the wrong things. I will continue to die to self everyday and just keep my eyes on Jesus. Great video!
We have snakes in the ranks bro ,need to be careful
Best advice I’ve ever heard on the subject of the “end-times”:
Live like the Lord is coming back tomorrow.
And work like He’s never coming back.
Or today.
Yup. This is discerning the times!
Luke 12:56
"Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?"
Christ’s New Covenant of grace is everlasting and has no last days ❤
That doesn't sound like grace.
@@inchristalone25Grace isn't an excuse for spiritual laziness. Kingdom work should be something we be glad to do in all forms of it. We should live like He's coming back today and be fearful and in awe of Him. Remember He is sovereign, just, righteous, holy, and yes love. Jesus doesn't just say listen to me. He says to hear Him and do the things He says. Don't do them out of fear of wrath or condemnation nor for reward, but do them as a sense of either responsibility and in joy. No groaning and complaining. The message of grace and love is not to be watered down. The gift of salvation yes is free, but your sanctification and purifying journey should be taken seriously. Love the things God loves and in all the you do. Do it for the glory of God. Love and Lord bless you.
“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.”

This was written to the Jewish Christians in the 7 churches. They were the ones cursed if they added to this book, not us. Because it was not written to us. It was written to them. The book was actually fulfilled in the first century.
^ this! The time is now! It’s all happening and that’s a GOOD THING!

On March 26th 2022,
just past midnight,
I was restless in bed,
my limbs became numb & tingly,
my chest became tight,
& my heart felt like it was being crushed.
So I sang out to God and Jesus,
about my pain, my feelings,
my faults and my inabilities.
As I sang, I began to feel like a river,
& a hand was on my back,
it's fingers where skimming the surface of the waters,
separating the waters,
causing ripples through my body.
Then the hand reached inside my chest,
lit my heart on fire,
& the heat moved like waves through my body.
When I was done singing,
all the pain was gone,
& I looked at the clock,
it was past 1am,
I had sang near an hour.
Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above,
& there was a hymn of energy in the air,
the same hymn I hear in my dreams of God.
Hallelujah to the Lord my God for healing my heart!
Hallelujah for His son Jesus for saving my soul!
Hallelujah for every day!
Hallelujah for every breath!
The Lord is Faithful and true!
May the Lord Bless your hearts,
so that you have the will and strength to turn from selfish sins,
and flee from the slaveries of the flesh!
That was beautiful, thank you! 🙏💓
Beautiful. Please record it
DEATH of the CARNAL body ensues when AWARENESS leaves the flesh.
By that time, most will have completed THE ONLY ETERNAL CREATION we can create from our temporary CARNAL EXILE from ETERNITY, the first creation, CREATOR'S HOME and the heaven we all seek. (Sometimes the life of the body ceases before the testament is complete - such instances are part of CREATOR'S PERFECT ETERNAL PLAN). Our thoughts and actions of free will AND their consequence become etched in TIME locked in the past... FOREVER UNCHANGEABLE.
We can do of our free will ONLY those things we were CREATED TO DO.
What we think and do was KNOWN JUDGED and deemed NECESSARY for us to do *FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF CREATOR'S PERFECT ETERNAL PLAN.* no matter how good or evil we judge them to be, else god is neither all knowing nor all powerful.
When the flesh vanishes, the AWARENESS, accompanied by THE TESTAMENT are carried back to our ETERNAL POSTS.
There, we hold our testaments HIGH - for ALL eternal creations able to parse time to see.
There, we shall REPENT our terms for LIFE and reconcile agreement with CREATOR'S TERMS FOR ETERNAL LIFE, else we shall step back across the threshold to OBLIVION of our own free will.
There is only 1 way to get to carnality.
Those creations who agree with CREATOR'S TERMS for eternal LIFE are still in ETERNITY.
Every landlord evicts tenants who REJECT the TERMS OF THE LEASE.
This temporary EXILE from eternity serves 2 purposes.
1. It keeps our falsehoods hatreds sorrows discontent and iniquities OUT OF CREATOR'S HOME and the heaven we seek: ETERNITY REMAINS ABSOLUTE TRUTH PEACE LOVE JOY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS .
2. It allows UNWILLING creations to see FIRST HAND the consequences of OUR TERMS FOR LIFE so we can have OUR TESTAMENTS as PROOF by our own FREE WILL of the consequences of OUR TERMS FOR LIFE, that we may find the WILLINGNESS to REPENT our terms in lieu of CREATOR'S TERMS for ETERNAL LIFE.
Creator's PURPOSE: to ensure and PROTECT absolute eternal TRUTH PEACE LOVE JOY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS in eternity.
Creator's PLAN: to share the eternal purpose with creations WILLING to accept the only terms able to manifest the absolute virtues.
Creator's TERMS for ETERNAL LIFE: ABSOLUTE ETERNAL TRUTH PEACE LOVE JOY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.
My first little white lie DESTROYED my ability to resolve absolute TRUTH in this temporary world. If our CREATOR does not PROTECT absolute TRUTH in eternity, we have no HOPE ever to find it. That first little white lie rendered it impossible to discover absolute TRUTH in this world .. FOR EVERYONE, not just me.
I HOPE I can use the brain CREATOR grants me to learn to recognize my iniquitous behaviors and I HOPE I can replace them with RIGHTEOUS behaviors - - this is the only way I know to change iniquity to righteousness. I don't want to be holding a testament filled only with iniquity - FOREVER.
Creator: HOW GREAT THOU ART - All is PRECISELY as it MUST BE - even for the least willing to complete their testaments. The consequences are UNBEARABLE - even temporarily - THANKYOU for showing us this pain, and thankyou for making it TEMPORARY - I can not bear it FOREVER. I shall be forever ashamed that MY TESTAMENT will include 50 years of adding my voice to the BILLIONS issuing the BLASPHEMY OF BLASPHEMIES.
I would not invite enemies wars or abominations to MY home because I am not a MORON.
I had NO authority accusing the SOURCE of my awareness of filling ETERNITY, YOUR HOME, with: eternal enemies, eternal wars, eternal abominations, and all things CONTRARY to ABSOLUTE ETERNAL TRUTH PEACE LOVE JOY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.
I was subverted by THE SHAMAN CLASS to accuse OUR PERFECT CREATOR of being the MORON who invited eternal enemies wars and abominations to HIS HOME!
The hypocritical IGNORANCE which kept me in blasphemy for 50 years was not my doing ... you showed me that I must endure the consequences of the free will of ALL OTHER CREATIONS as they must endure the consequences of MY free will.
Behold the falsehoods hatreds sorrows discontent and iniquities we would have brought to the heaven we seek, by OUR TERMS FOR LIFE.
OUR TERMS are not worthy of eternal existence. Thankfully this unworthiness ends in this temporary reality, separated from heaven by TIME both for those able to learn the WILLINGNESS to REPENT, and those who never do.
I hope and trust you're telling THE TRUTH on God, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH! Prayers for you that you seek God with an honest heart and he leads you to heaven!😊❤❤❤
So what happened to the one from Texas.
Satan and his disciples continue to deceive and destroy.
So many people saying that watching for the LORD's return and sharing the gospel are mutually exclusive. When I started watching, I began sharing the gospel and praying for people as never before. I've seen others doing the same. As one brother put it, "I can walk and chew gum at the same time." Since we are commanded to watch for the blessed hope, since we are told that we will see the day approaching, I won't let anyone steal that joy and anticipation from me. Some people are turning the blessed hope into the "blasted" hope. I was raised by an amillennialist pastor, a sincere and godly man, but then I read my Bible from Genesis to Revelation and finally got excited about our future. We won't know the day or hour, but we are not in darkness that that day should surprise us. It's the season. Come, LORD Jesus, we are eager for Your return!🙏
This exactly!

Unless I'm mistaken, the red heifers were actually from Texas and brought to Israel.
Yes, I saw a podcast with the people who helped find the cows. There were 5 that were taken from Texas to Israel and since then 2 have been taken out of consideration so now there are 3. The altar is ready and the cow needs to be sacrificed before this coming November for it to still be within the age that is needs to be according to the law.
“Nor from a foreigner’s hand shall you offer any of these as the bread of your God, because their corruption is in them, and defects are in them. They shall not be accepted on your behalf.’ ”
Leviticus 22:25 NKJV
If they are being meticulous about the other mandates why wouldn’t they of this one? Maybe they are just breeding them and the offspring born in Israel are the ones that will be used for the sacrifice. Regardless fear shouldn’t dictate our lives, pray, remember if we live we live for Christ if we die we die for Him. God bless ❤
@@jujufleasWhere are you getting this from? Sounds completely arbitrary
Probably because this third temple will not be of God. Remember - Jesus is the only way. The theory is that there needs to be a temple where the two prophets witness to the world and where the abomination that causes desolation occurs - where the antichrist declares himself to be god half way through the seven year tribulation.
@kamarwashington faith or friction podcast has a few episodes about it. One of the guys on there is friends with the ranchers who provided the heifers that were sent to Israel. They also have video of the rabbis when went to inspect them and the whole process.
I spread the gospel and love to talk about end times. We can do both🥰✝️🙏 don’t add or subtract, nothing to fear in GODS prophesies but have joy in the WORD.
There are no end times.

You didn't upset me in the slightest but definitely gave me food for thought, thank you so much and God Bless.
Amen. I have 3 children and I am making sure they are following their assigned duty of being, ‘Bold ambassadors of Christ!’
We are just to be ready. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh. (Matt. 24:42-44.) We should embrace it and look forward to it as Christians for at that time we will be with Jesus. It's a glad time for Christians and we should do our best to spread the gospel and let the word of God save as many as possible.
Amen!
That's why I see these fear mongering videos or look here, look there, THE END IS NEAR videos I just keep scrolling. Whether the end is tomorrow or a thousands years from now I am called to live a certain way and that way does not change based on when that day is. I am just not worried about it. I will be with Him in short time either way it literally make NO difference to me.
It's sad to see brother and sisters who cried out here it is or there it is so many times before only to deceive those who are unmatured in the faith. I appreciate the wisdom in Nate's response on this topic.

My grandfather always said to do God's work and make sure your spiritual house is in order. And as long as that is true, the book of Revelation isn't something for us to worry about. We should be living as if Jesus is coming in the next hour, no matter what. And as someone who has more years behind me than ahead of me, I agree.
Ezequiel 33:7-9
Yes if you know the truth is your duty to speak when you see the signs
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.”
I Thessalonians 5:4 we are ought to know when we are close and proclaim it
Thank you
To answer your question about whether we should see this as a primary or secondary issue: in terms of the Great Commission, its definitely secondary, BUT, Jesus also told us to discern the times we're in, and when He was talking about the abomination of desolation in Daniel, Matthew emphasises "whoever reads, let him understand". Plus Jesus gives us the parable of the wise and foolish virgins to inform us to be prepared for the times, and He gave us signs for the "beginning of birth pains", so I don't think it's wise to suggest that it's so unimportant that we don't need to study this stuff for ourselves.
Luke's Gospel put it this way, when Jesus said "when you see these things taking place, look up, for your redemption draws near".
I can respect Nate for not wanting to look into it, I completely understand. It's really hard emotionally and mentally to look into this stuff. But I really get the feeling that Nate hasn't looked into it very much, if at all, and his views are also bleeding into this video.
But as a brother, I say this with all love and respect, for we are all children of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Bless you all
I agree 100% with your take. I do agree with Nate to some degree that I see many Christians in some circles becoming borderline obsessed with End Times to the point that they make proclamations that cannot be backed up and when they don't come true they open the door to mockery from everyone.
That being said, it isn't really a secondary issue to understand the signs of the times. Jesus did warn us blatantly what are and what are not signs of the times. Jesus felt it was important for us to know that there would be an "abomination of desolation" and Paul further emphasized this in 2 Thessalonians, as well. So, we are supposed to be aware of flags being raised showing that the time is drawing near and those signs are supposed to be interpreted by us to some degree (it encourages us to study scripture) and it also encourages us to be more quick in our eagerness to convert people because Jesus will come back like a thief in the night.
So, we need to be doing our jobs as evangelists like the end is right around the corner because to some degree it very well might be and the anti-christ could rise up right under our noses and Jesus will come back shortly after.
Yeah Nate is an amillenial - spelling?- found out on a video with Ruslan. Nothing wrong with that as it’s secondary but I see a lot of the same arguments from this group. It saddens me a little that they’re missing the element of excitement from the signs we’re seeing but they interpret things differently. I guess they’ll have to change their views mid flight 😂
The last days are Israel's 70th week which never actually came because they fell and diminished (Romans 11:11-12) and a Dispensation of Grace for the Gentiles came instead (Ephesians 3:1-2) through Paul. Paul said that the Day of the Lord shall not come except the man of sin be revealed. The man of sin being revealed is what kicks off Israel's 70th week: the last days. Which is also the season that Paul said we have no need that he write to us about: it isn't for the Body of Christ Church. It's Israel's prophecy, not ours.
@bugsocsollie1694 whoa whoa hold up. I originally wasn't going to respond to anyone's comments underneath this one, but there's some wild misinterpretations here.
1st: Romans 11:11-12 is NOT a talking about a fulfillment of end times prophecy, it simply says that because Israel (God's chosen people) have rejected His Son (but this WILL change when He returns), God's mercy and grace has also been extended to the Gentiles (ie - anyone who's not born of Jewish descent).
2nd: Ephesians 3 at large talks about God's plan of redemption spoken of by the prophets in the Old Testament has been revealed and God Himself appointed Paul to preach it to the Gentiles. Having verses 1-2 somehow only talk about how Israel was forsaken is complete blasphemy, as verse 6 says "And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus." (NLT)
3rd: yes, Paul did indeed write in 2nd Thessalonians that the final week (7 years) wouldn't start until the Man of Sin is revealed, he also said that "the great rebellion" needs to take place simultaneously. The great rebellion is the church of christ globally falling away, though not all of it. Which BTW makes what Jesus and the prophets prophecies absolutely for us AND the Israel.
I encourage you to go back and read those scriptures in context and really spend a lot of time understanding it, because God has not and will not forsake His people.
God bless.
@TallyCat1 Romans 11 shows Israel's prophecy program put on hold temporarily as salvation has come to the Gentiles temporarily. Romans 11:25. Ephesians 3 is not fulfillment of Israel's OT Prophecy, it is what God had planned before the world began but was never revealed in Scripture. It was hid in God, not in Scripture, since the world began. Ephesians 3:9.
In this Dispensation of Grace there is no distinction made between Jew and Gentile. Before (and after) this Dispensation, there was a distinction made (go not by way of the Gentiles). The 144,000 are distinctively Jews.
So refreshing to hear that we are not to worry about such things but instead spend our time and thoughts on fulfilling the great commission.
Yes, brother, you are doing the right thing and you are forgiven for your sins after you repented. You are doing the right thing. God bless you.
We are called to watch and hold steadfast in our faith of what Jesus has done. We are not given to the spirit of fear but to understand that these things that are happening are suppose to happen according to God will. Let go of what you want to happen and be thankful no matter what happens. It took me the better part of three years studying and looking at things that no matter what praise God for everything even more when things go wrong. It took me 14 years of thinking I could do things on my own to realize it's never been about me. Have a great night brothers and sisters because Jesus has the victory!
Thank you for this. Ive seen a lot of videos pop up on my feed lately about the end times, but have tried to not entertain them. I love the honest breakdown of all of these "claims of prophecy". You make it clear and easy to understand. We should not be fear mongering! ive even had non christians ask me about the red heffer thing and have had no idea what to tell them. Thank you for blessing us with your ministry!
Well said, thank you for another thoughtful message. It's such an encouragement and blessing to hear/see like-minded believers. This topic came up a few days ago in my family's Bible reading time. We've been going through the Gospels and we just read the part in Luke when Jesus predicts the destruction of the Temple so talk of end times, and when Jesus is coming again, naturally came up. Those were practically the words I told my daughter, "I don't know and since not even Jesus knows that's okay."
One thing we also talked about was so many times when Jesus starts talking about end times He commands "Do not let anyone deceive or mislead you...." (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21) in Luke 21:8 he even continues saying ".....for many will come in My name [appropriating for themselves the name Messiah which belongs to Me alone], saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near!’ Do not follow them. (AMP)" So how I see it, if someone is saying the time is near for Jesus' return that we should not listen or follow them so that we won't be deceived. Now some may say "But these people aren't claiming to be the Messiah." I have this question, if someone is claiming to know something that even Jesus doesn't know, isn't that claiming the role of Messiah, trying to elevate themselves above Jesus?
Another thing to focus on is Jesus tells us when we hear about these things to not be afraid, they have to happen for God's glorious will. So like our Jesus. "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] (John 16:33 AMP)
I have encountered people who have said, "We've seen wars, we've seen natural disasters, we've seen incurable diseases but Jesus hasn't come back so the Bible must not be true. In Matthew 24:8, Jesus says all these things are merely the beginning of birth pains. Not the end but the beginning of. Any woman who has birthed a child and anyone who has assisted, knows at first the birth pains are small and far between, but as it gets closer to the baby being born, contractions get more painful and closer together. Continuing with this, nobody knows when a baby's going to be born. Even after the contractions have started, it might be a couple hours, it might be a couple of days. We can't predict God's timing because He is timeless (1 Peter 3:8-9). But, like the pain is forgotten once the child is born because of the joy, it will be the same when Jesus returns, the pain will be forgotten. That joy will erase all memory of the pain. He will be finished making all things new. Praise God!!

Prayers for discernment, right exegesis, and trust in God
Love, love, love your channel, your angle, your tone and temper, your kind love. You are the true deal. Thanks for all you do.
Taught that will be able to discern the times... Matt 16:3+Luke 12:56.
I've thought this all along and am so glad to hear you say this!! We do the Church no favor when we allow ourselves to be distracted from what Jesus set for us to do for His Kingdom!
Discerning the times!
Luke 12:56
"Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?"
...and yet, Jesus told the disciplines what the state of the world would be before He returns....
I can sum you up in 2 words..A Blessing! Your sincere desire to not affend and your continuous
return to " what do the scriptures say and bare witness to " is not only helpful but a blessing. I thank God for you and your dedication to serving him and his commission
My book says the same things. Be a blessing to your spouse, family, fellow believers, and the community that you live in. Honor God in your prayer closet amd in your actions. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Witness to others about your faith and God's goodness without forcing it on them. Never seek to take advantage of anyone's weaknesses or addictions, and do not entertain addictions in your own life.
And, it specifically warns against the waste of faith in being distracted by end time prognostications. Do God’s will. Period.
Great video, Nate. I totally agree. Many times, we argue about different doctrines instead of doing our job and sharing the Gospel to a lost and dying world.
Amen 🙏🤍🕊️ I am feeling the spiritual warfare heavy. Thank you for your wonderful message through the word.
Do you feel it both within and without. We fight against the world, the flesh and the devil.
Thank you for preaching sound doctrine. God bless you. Peace be with you.
Well said! I appreciate your perspective and would agree on most everything you said, but especially about the importance of being gracious to other people. Thank you for the video!
Yes, it's been the same for many years ago. I remember a guy who made videos only about the eclipses and how that was a sign of the end time. I'm with you on this. Keep the good work. God bless you!
Do not live in fear, trust in the Lord!
It seems in Matthew 16 Jesus rebukes his generation for not knowing the signs of the times and in Romans 13: 11-14 Paul admonishes us to know the times. In Matthew 24 the disciples asked Jesus what the signs would be for His second coming and the end of the age. Not sure I see the harm in being "watchful" for these things.
Agree 100%. I was a premill dispensationalist for about 20 years. Then while in college getting my history degree I took a lot of ancient Roman courses and kept thinking to myself the bible predicted this and that event throughput the courses spot on. I had always thought those events would be in the future. Then I truly got saved about 3 years ago and haven't put the word down since. I started reading the New Testament IN CONTEXT, and not just versus here and there. Next I went back to read the Old Testament and it becomes so crystal clear when read from an Amillennial and/or Post-Millennial view point. The Old Testament and Revelation used to make me scratch my head trying to figure it all out. Most is easy now, and brings me closer to God and in aww as I see all the prophecies fulfilled time and again, and knowing the Kingdom is here and now, that God's spirit dwells within the holy temple of our bodies TODAY
...so, you no longer believe that the Millennial reign of Christ on the earth is no longer a literal Christ reigning on the earth with His throne in Jerusalem?
@1969cmp It is literal... as the new testament says he is CURRENTLY sitting on the thrown of David at the father's right hand in the new Jerusalem. "The kingdom is here, right now [29ishAD] "
@@joshgravlee .....has Jesus returned to the earth. No,not yet and that's when the literal Millennial reign begins.
@@1969cmp You have to understand the apocalyptic style the book of Revelation was written with, as well as the phrase coming on the clouds in the old testament. Coming on the clouds is a phrase used in the old testament when God sent judgement on Egypt by sending his wrath down on them. So when that phrase is used in apocalyptic poet language in Revelation Christ did return and cast judgment on all the non-believing Jews in the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD. He warned that would happen to that generation during the olivet discourse. As well as warned them when you see the armies of Rome surround Jeruselum (abomination of desecration) to flew to the mountains of Judea. So the believers of Christ who listened all fled the city and was saved from Christs return and judgment on the Jewish people. So yes he has returned. Not the final return of course and end of all things, for no man is to know when that time will come as he told his apostles later on in the same conversation.
@@joshgravlee Jesus has not returned. When He does return, He will usher in His Millennial reign and that has not happened, yet.
Also, the Beast/Anti-Christ of Revelation 13 has not yet happened and nor has the seven year Tribulation period, which is also Daniels 70th week aka The time of Jacob's Trouble.
When Jesus returns to the earth, the whole world will know.
Amen. Well said my good man. Those four words create a small gap that we should always have open. For grace, hope, love, and fellowship is all we need for one another. Be busy doing God's work when He comes back, creating disciples, not worrying about things that are purposefully kept from us. Only th Father will ever know th time and day... Fantastic channel brother! ❤
Started smoking as a result of anxiety,mostly due to worldwide destruction and death podcasts. Thankyou for somewhat calming opinions,now I feel more to study and share the word.
If you’re having anxiety you aren’t trusting God to be in control of all things.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
II Timothy 1:7 NKJV
I have to meditate on that scripture at all times definitely because i feel anxious often. I trust the Lord and I hate that i feel anxiety in this life because His track record is flawless and God has never let me down.

Let scripture speak to you. Don't let others speak scripture to you. God's Word is living.
Thank you so much for speaking to your brothers and sisters that need guidance in a fallen world! It’s so easy to get caught up and swept away in what we think we should do versus what Jesus tells us to do! God bless you!
I doubt almost anyone thinks the birth of a red heifer will BRING ABOUT the end of the world. but we DO recognize that if those red heifers are planned to be used to dedicate a new temple, the Jews must be planning to build that temple. and if they do, it's simply another sign that we are on the cusp of the beginning of the end.
Cows keep happening. But how do you know a temple isn't built already?
@@jupiterjones64 because it physically isn't there? The Dome of the Rock is in the way and Muslims would be outraged if it was built. What sort of question is that?
@@jupiterjones64 how could a temple be built and literally nobody has seen it? doesn't make a lot of sense.
Or, it could be manipulation. Making you subscribe to a belief that compels you to support a particular view or people in order to perpetuate their position. Why would something so rare be connected to a building project or dedication of a temple? Why the extremely high unreasonable constraints or standards on the appearance of the red heifer. Numbers 19:2 only mentions it should have no defect, meaning it can't be lame, blind, or deceases, etc. It has nothing to do with whether there is a hair out of place or discolored.
Do the scriptures have a "red heifer" requirement for building or dedicating a temple? If it does, then since there were 2 temples built that were recorded in the scriptures, can anyone provide the text where either Solomon or governor Zerubbabel/High Priest Jeshua followed this so-called "red heifer statute" prior to building the temple or during their dedication?
@@toreyhorton1789 I'm not saying it's required: just that people may be planning things in regards to the red heifers.
If you are only coming to Jesus for the end of times, you miss the point. Live your lives as Jesus wants whether it is your first or last day on this earth. I fall short at this point, but I'm trying to get better every day. Thank you for your message pastor.
Heaven will be great because we will be with Jesus, but we don't have to wait till then to experience his presence through the power of the Holy Spirit.
You can get close to God right now! Spend time in his word and prayer. Remember, part of prayer is simply listening.
Great video. Thank you for presenting all of this information. Yours has to be my favorite Protestant channel. I’m not just saying that because you didn’t completely lambast Taylor Marshall, I personally don’t care much for most of his content and presentation style.
We are not supposed to set dates, but we are supposed to know the times and seasons.
Yeah but "times and seasons" can be deacdes or hundreds of years. We have been in "End days" for 2,000+ years now. When Jesus walked the earth, THAT was the beginning of the end.
Jesus says differently.
Acts 1:6-7 ESV
[6] So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” [7] He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.
@@MochaZillanah well every sign is converging rn ! It doesn’t matter how bad times are we are told to look for specific things Israel become a nation again is the biggest, that generation shall not pass Jesus says in Matthew 24 implying the generation to at sees Israel’s return would also see his second coming
Like the times that Jesus talked about on the Mount of Olives? Those signs and times came and went exactly as our King told us. I recommend a deep dive into early church history by some of the apostolic fathers in through Augustine. Not that these men were infallible, but in their works they showed that Christ was no false prophet. They showed, in history, the trials and tribulation that Jerusalem suffered. Josephus give very detailed accounts of the temples destruction, the very thing Revelation is about and Christ was warning about during the Olivet Discourse.
@gregojeda572 that's nonsense. There is one way to the Father and that is through Christ. The very person the jews ended. They, to this day reject him. Christ is the true Israel. He is the promise to Abraham. It's not an ethnicity, but a set apart people. Rejection of Christ would prove the people who reject God's Messiah are not God's people. Christ is the only way. Don't look like zionist/'Brews are turning to Christ anytime soon. I pray they do, but christians, regardless of ethnicity, are God's chosen people.
Don’t worry about losing subscribers. You just got a new one. “I could be wrong.” Engaging the the body of believers through humility and grace will result in us focusing on what’s most important as you described in this message. Thank you.
It is the glory of God to hide a thing, and the pleasure of kings to seek them out
There was something that was bothering me as I started my early Christian walk. My biblical world view was different than a lot of other people. I stated to just listen and try and figure out how they got to certain positions. As I started processing this, it started to click. As a Christian our world view is greatly shaped by our eschatology, even if we aren't really sure what that is.
I have attempted to keep my mind open to the arguments on all sides and let scripture speak. It is with my great frustration that there are very few, in modern reformed circles, that give much clarity on their eschatological view. I listen and I just groan. At least with McArthur, as an example, I can see and read scripture with him and he articulates his position well. Most of the things I've seen on postmillennialism, for an example, just ends up leaving me more confused.
I recently watched what was supposed to be a "primer" on postmillennialism and after about the 20th time of hearing "the most symbolic book in the Bible", I came to the realization that he was probably struggling a bit on his defense of the book of Revelation. If one starts to take portions of it literally, it seems that the doctrine starts to fall apart.
I cringe a little when a Christian overuses phrases like "Biblical scholars". Rabbinic Judaism, as an example, has a whole host of "Biblical scholars" coming to incorrect conclusions. In the past, there were scholars that couldn't figure out how Israel was going to become a state again and how God was going to gather them back. We had all kinds of very problematic doctrine come out of these analysis, including things like replacement theology.
I admit I'm rather new to the faith, so I struggle with how anyone - especially well respected "fathers" could come to these conclusions reading Romans 11, as an example.
What am I saying all this? I've decided to challenge tradition and simply study deeply the Word. One of those areas, right now, is the Kingdom of heaven/God. I've heard Nate give his position on it and I haven't found it to be.... complete.... He has a far more rounded and complete understanding of scripture, but I recall scripture that doesn't seem, on the surface, to support his overall view.
There area solid pastors today that encourage us to read more dead people. I agree and i've started to. However the Holy Spirit is my teacher. Meaning, I must compare all things against scripture no matter how much I respect them. I'm constantly bombarded with mental warnings when listening to sermons or reading books.
I admit this is probably the first time I didn't finish Nate's video, I'll try and go back later. it's not that he offended me, but there was something about his mannerisms this time around. He seemed to be very worked up over this. I had seen part of this Tim Pool conversation, as I was curious what the secular world was coming up with. I had no idea that the other person was Catholic. I'll have to watch that portion again, because he didn't sound very knowledgeable. I was actually confused watching the first 12 or so minutes.
I'm not consumed by prophecy, but I do keep in the back of my mind things like "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.". I've also been going through Mark 13 and I see things like "And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.". I'm not sure how Nate handles all these things, but if our Lord Jesus said it I have to figure out how all of these things fit in the timeline of history.
I'll study, listen to the opposing views, and pray for discernment.
Daniel 12:10“Many shall be cleansed and made white, and refined. But the wrong shall do wrong - and none of the wrong shall understand, but those who have insight shall understand.
This was foretold in Daniel about the prophecies concerning the end of the age. We must be confident that what we will know and understand so that we can follow the events as they unfold.
What we need to make sure is that we are learning from Scriptures and listening to Wise teachers and not evil men. If we can understand then that means we are not grouped with the "wrong".
You are the temple for the Holy Ghost. In the New Jerusalem: Jesus Christ is the temple. The river of eternal life flows from Him and His thrown. We are the tree, planted by those waters, who’s leaf does not whither, and we produce fruit in season for His harvest, fruit of the Spirit, when we abide in the Branch, who is also the Root of David. The Father is the vine dresser, chastising us/ the Spirit convicting us of sin, so we will produce more fruit of the Spirit. Our leaf doesn’t whither, and it heals the nations, because we are Rooted in the Word, which is the seed, and is the Christ of God… which produces much fruit because He died for the remission of our sin, and was raised again by the power of God, where He sits on the right hand of the Father… so heaven and earth passes away, but we do not pass away, because we have life eternal believing and abiding in the Word of God, Christ Jesus.
Love your channel. Your wisdom is greatly needed and appreciated. ❤✝️❤️✝️❤️
Thank you for clarifying for your audience that we are living in the end times. Not many believers seem to realise this. So, thanks.
I'm glad Nate seems to be a Partial Preterist. Only thing is, is that the end of the age& End Time is referring to the end of the Old Covenant age. Like the Apostle Paul said, "What is passing away will become obsolete". Heb 8:13
I love that you pointed out that this isn't where our focus should be. This isn't a salvation issue. God bless you!
@beckygleason2002 I completely agree. People start arguing about the most trivial things, red cow no red cow this won't get you saved but Jesus will.
Thank you for bringing the actual Bible into the conversation.
Wise and prudent!!! We've been living in the last days for thousands of years.
We live in the end times, or as Paul calls it, Perilous times; but that doesn't mean we should stop and focus on the prophecies or writings and be worried if the world will end. That would be like people running a race stopping and worrying about whether the finish line is past, a few feet ahead, or miles away still. Runners should run till the race is finished. Christians should focus on sharing the gospel of Christ instead of whether the end is around the corner. Jesus said it best, If I would that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me. We may disagree on the perspectives of the end times, but we all should agree that the answer is the gospel of Christ. If the return of Christ is soon or far off, we should be sharing His gospel regardless. You made some good points, Bro. Nate! It's easy to see world events and claim Christ is returning, but if we truly believe it, why don't we be more like the apostles and tell the world about the Savior instead of focusing on the events. No one knows the time of Christ's return, so we should be sharing Christ more than ever.
I used to be in this kind of thing. Now, Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels; Though I am versed in all kinds of knowledge and prophecies and have not Love, I am nothing! I Cor. 13, and other passages in the Scripture is where I stand. I am subscribed. Love you Brother!❤
If we are Biblically literate and born again we will know the season of the end. We certainly won't know the day or even the year, but we will know the season.
Aka the deacde, or century lol
Scripturally, it is the day and hour that isnt known.
And what season is that exactly?
the text says we will not know the "day or the hour", but nothing is being said e.g. a year or a month. that would mean we can know roughly the time frame of the end.
@@Dualbladedscorpion7737when the man of perdition reveals himself. Know it's the season
This channel is truly a blessing. I'm really glad I found it.
What if we- as born again, Holy Spirit dwelling believers are 'the new temple'? So already built! No red heifer needed here- Only by the blood of the Lamb! Praise Jesus!
Stay awake- watchful and prayerful, Keep your lamp filled with the oil of His spirit, trimmed of the burnt up no good stuff in our lives whilst investing your gift into kingdom business! Maranatha!
Love your channel and work for the Lord, Nate bro. Blessings
I think that's exactly what the bible teaches.
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.
Eph 2:19-22
Do you not know that you[c] are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
1 Cor 3:16-17
You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
1 Pet 2:5
All the Glory of Ezekiel's temple is actually the Church. Ezekiel's glorious life-giving river, also seen in Isaiah 66 and Revelation 22, is the Holy Spirit (John 7:37-39).
@@hudjahulos
Amazing! Thank you for the references to scripture. With God's help I hope to understand and apply to my life. Glory to God! Thanks again brother ❤
I fully agree! But do the Jews know this? Apparently not. So the Tora remains as their religious guide and, for them, building a third Temple is still a needed.
Recalling when the prayer of Jabez was beaten to death, some years ago, this is just another thing to cause angst and division for some, but “this is so stupid” by others, including me. You shouldn’t have had to address this topic, but I’m glad you’ve done so for those who need to put it to rest. Thank you, Nate!!!
“But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.”
What is this? Where's the footnote?
@@DetVen the verse being referenced is Daniel 10:13
not sure why the original comment didn't include it.
Or why they only quoted it without expanding on the ideas.
Nate, thank you for covering this...the night TimCastIRL had this guy on, you had a live stream of one of your videos, and i mentioned this in your chat, and your awesome mod Angela Cara asked me who the guest was and what they were talking about. I knew you would bring levity to this for me. Thanks buddy.
Personally I believe we’ve been living in the ‘end times’ since roughly 70AD. 😂 some people get so caught up in the minutia that they lose sight that it will be a bad day a lot of people, a great day for the rest. Our job is to help make it a great day for more people by preaching, teaching, serving God and His people.
Spread the word of God and save souls for the kingdom amen amen and amen 🙏
Id see the end as not a time to fear but a time of excitement for the rapture. 😅 But the reality is, some people want it to be the end because they're just tired....of our world.
True when I was an atheist I tried to kill myself. This was not nesseraly due to severve mental illness it was this world. I now have a different understanding of the point of this Earth school and my weight lifted somewhat. Amen 🙏💓
When we are raptured, everyone we have failed shall be cast into damnation. The Lord does not haste the day wishing all would come to repentance. We ought not to wish it upon ourselves any sooner knowing full well how many are fallen.
Thank you for being such a reliable and intelligent learning source for the Christian believer. Great video lesson! I appreciate you so much. God bless✝️
While I don’t think there will be a time when no one thinks “ah the end is here” I think based on what we are told, if there’s a mass amount of attention on the potential end times due to certain events, it’s likely not the end times
Thank you and God bless you and your family..."I could be wrong" has the same power as forgiveness.
I'm Postmillennial, so whenever I see headlines or RUclips videos like this I just roll my eyes. It's all fear, and people get hyper fixated on this and it distracts us from our duty as Christians to spread the kingdom.
What does that mean? Post Millennial?
@@tommiepattonkendrickiii1617 a great Channel to learn about Eschatology and the different views like Post-Millennial is "Eschatology Matters".
Post millenial means that person believes no Christian will be taken up to Heaven until the very end when Jesus returns to earth to strike down Satan. The belief is that everyone including Christians are supposed to stay on earth and suffer God's wrath and destruction of the planet for seven years, when the anti-Christ is in charge and killing all believers in Christ. Both Catholics and Protestants push as the truth. But if you so your own study, you will discover that Jesus said we are not here for His wrath, He's going to take us like he said people in the old Testament. @tommiepattonkendrickiii1617
Thank you so much for this video. This was invaluable to me. I was so confused about this issue and now I'm at peace. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤
Whether Jesus comes back today or 1000 years from now. It makes no difference to me. I am called to live a certain way right now and that way never changes. I do not worry, I am not anxious. I will be with Jesus soon enough, we all will our life is like a vapor. If you're worried for other because you think the end is near just share the Gospel. Plant the seed, it is always the same and let God deal with the soil of the heart.
Thanks for your wisdom on this Brother Nate.
Part 1/2 I can appreciate your faith but when you say "Whether Jesus comes back today or 1000 years from now." this is a lie. The Bible has a framework from Genesis 1-Revelation 21 (Revelation 22 is us entering eternity) is based on a finite period of time and that amount of time is 7000 years. 6000 years of the dominion of mankind +1000 reign of Jesus. Jesus will return on or before the year 6000 and reign for 1000 years. Today this is debated but I will show you a lot of evidence that proves this framework, this is what has always been taught. from like 350AD all the way backwards to Genesis 1-2.
In Genesis 2 it says 15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Now we know Adam ate. Did he die in the next 24 hours? No. Genesis 5:5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. So is GOD a liar? No. Our job is to figure out how both of these statements are true. We are given the biblical cipher.
Psalm 90:For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night.
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. The truth is that Adam died in the first "day" 930 years which was in the 1000 years. Year 1000 would be the end of Day 1.
Abraham (according to the genealogies in Genesis 5,10) lived in the year 2000 or end of Day 2)
David year 3000 or end of Day 3.
Now there is some debate whether Jesus's crucifixion was the year 4000 (end of Day 4) or if 70-75AD was the year 4000. So the year 6000 is between 2032-2075. This has been known since Genesis 1-2.
This is a very basic biblical concept and it's sad to see so many who don't know this.
We see this in early Christian Church writings:
Barnabas, AD First Century “Therefore, children, in six days, or in six thousand years, all the prophecies will be fulfilled. Then it says, ‘He rested on the seventh day.’ This signifies at the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus, He will destroy the Antichrist, judge the ungodly, and change the sun, moon, and stars. Then He will truly rest during the Millennial reign, which is the seventh day.” Epistle of Barnabas 15:7-9
Commodianus, AD 240 “We will be immortal when the six thousand years are completed.” Against the Gods of the Heathens 35 “Resurrection of the body will be when six thousand years are completed, and after the one thousand years, the world will come to an end.” Against the Gods of the Heathens 80
Victorinus, AD 240 “Satan will be bound until the thousand years are finished; that is, after the sixth day.” Commentary on Revelation 20.1-3
Methodius, AD 290 “In the seventh millennium we will be immortal and truly celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.” Ten Virgins 9.1
Irenaeus, 180AD "For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded. And for this reason the Scripture says: "Thus the heaven and the earth were finished, and all their adornment. And God brought to a conclusion upon the sixth day the works that He had made; and God rested upon the seventh day from all His works."(6) This is an account of the things formerly created, as also it is a prophecy of what is to come. For the day of the Lord is as a thousand years;(7) and in six days created things were completed: it is evident, therefore, that they will come to an end at the sixth thousand year. Against Heresies 5:28
Papius First Century “I was taught by the Apostle John, himself, that after the resurrection of the dead, Jesus will personally reign for one thousand years.” Papias, Fragment 6
Now Jesus and Scripture have given us a number of signs to watch for. But here's the problem most Christians think of Eschatology or the study of the end times as a minor topic. Eschatology makes up over 1/3 of Scripture. There are over 150 chapters in Scripture that reference the 2nd Coming event. There are more than 5x the number of prophecies surrounding the 2nd Coming than the first Coming. Eschatology runs from Genesis 1-Revelation 22. It is mentioned in almost every book (I think Proverbs doesn't). Eschatology is by far the most discussed topic in Scripture and touches every doctrine including salvation. It affects your biblical worldview. This is why Jesus connects Revelation and the Gospels to Genesis. It's all connected. This is why He says His return will be like the Days of Noah and Lot.
Eschatology today is the greatest weapon we have for evangelism. It's like the LORD sees the lost world and has said ok Here's the greatest weapon for you to battle with, I will tell you the future. John 13:19 "Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am."
The reason it's so divisive is because the Pastors and teachers are so ignorant about it, so Christians are ignorant about it. It's sad to watch. Is this topic expansive? Yeah. Can it be a bit complex? For sure. But I want to help make it simple. If you after reading this see that we don't have 1000 years before Jesus's return then I have helped.
(Continued in Part 2)
Part 2/2 So what if any is the significant of a few red cows? First, the one in 2018 developed blemishes so it was rejected, the ones in Israel now so far are blemish-free. A blemish-free one hasn't existed for 2000 years. It's needed to cleanse the materials for the rebuilding of the Temple.
Here are some early Church Fathers writings
We need to understand the lineage of disciples: Apostle John taught Polycarp. Polycarp taught Irenaeus, and Irenaeus taught Hippolytus. Irenaeus (180 AD) “In 2 Thessalonians, the ‘falling away’ is an apostasy and there will be a literal rebuilt temple. In Matthew (24:15), the ‘abomination spoken by Daniel’ is the Antichrist sitting in the temple as if he were Christ. The abomination will start in the middle of Daniel’s 70th week and last for a literal three years and six months. The little horn is the Antichrist. Against Heresies 5.25 (notice literal Temple)
Hippolytus (170-235AD): On the End of the World A Discourse by the Most Blessed Hippolytus, Bishop and Martyr, on the End of the World, and on Antichrist, and on the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. "Above all, moreover, he will love the nation of the Jews. And with all these he will work signs and terrible wonders, false wonders and not true, in order to deceive his impious equals. For if it were possible, he would seduce even the elect from the love of Christ. But in his first steps he will be gentle, loveable, quiet, pious, pacific, hating injustice, detesting gifts, not allowing idolatry; loving, says he, the Scriptures, reverencing priests, honoring his elders, repudiating fornication, detesting adultery, giving no heed to slanders, not admitting oaths, kind to strangers, kind to the poor, compassionate. And then he will work wonders, cleansing lepers, raising paralytics, expelling demons, proclaiming things remote just as things present, raising the dead, helping widows, defending orphans, loving all, reconciling in love men who contend, and saying to such, “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath;” Ephesians 4:26 and he will not acquire gold, nor love silver, nor seek riches. And at first, indeed, that deceitful and lawless one, with crafty deceitfulness, will refuse such glory; but the men persisting, and holding by him, will declare him king. And thereafter he will be lifted up in heart, and he who was formerly gentle will become violent, and he who pursued love will become pitiless, and the humble in heart will become haughty and inhuman, and the hater of unrighteousness will persecute the righteous. Then, when he is elevated to his kingdom, he will marshal war; and in his wrath he will smite three mighty kings, - those, namely, of Egypt, Libya, and Ethiopia. And after that he will build the temple in Jerusalem (notice literal Temple), and will restore it again speedily, and give it over to the Jews. And then he will be lifted up in heart against every man; yea, he will speak blasphemy also against God, thinking in his deceit that he shall be king upon the earth hereafter forever; not knowing, miserable wretch, that his kingdom is to be quickly brought to naught, and that he will quickly have to meet the fire which is prepared for him, along with all who trust him and serve him. For when Daniel said, “I shall make my covenant for one week,” Daniel 9:27 he indicated seven years; and the one half of the week is for the preaching of the prophets, and for the other half of the week - that is to say, for three years and a half -Antichrist will reign upon the earth. And after this his kingdom and his glory shall be taken away. Behold, ye who love God, what manner of tribulation there shall rise in those days, such as has not been from the foundation of the world, no, nor ever shall be, except in those days alone. Then the lawless one, being lifted up in heart, will gather together his demons in man’s for, and will abominate those who call him to the kingdom, and will pollute many souls. Section 23-25 (notice "And after that he will build the temple in Jerusalem (notice literal Temple), and will restore it again speedily, and give it over to the Jews.") Barnabas -First Century) “You can perceive that their hope is vain. Furthermore, the Lord said, ‘Behold, they who destroy this temple, even they will again build it up once more.’ This prophecy was fulfilled because the Jews went to war against their enemy. But even though they are now no more than servants to Rome, they will return and rebuild the temple. It was revealed that the city of Jerusalem, the temple, and the people of Israel were to be given up.” Epistle of Barnabas 16:5-7
The red Heifers need to be sacrificed before the Temple to be rebuilt and the rebuilding of the Temple will signal the last 7 years or 84 months before the 2nd Coming (Revelation 11:1-7, 13:1-7). There are a lot of signs getting ready to converge that we can see where we are on the biblical timeline. If say, for example, 2032 AD is the 6000th year then we should expect between Sept-December 2025 the Temple in Jerusalem to be built. Or it could be later but it is coming and it will signal the final 7 years before Jesus returns.
Many will call me a date-setter and quickly quote Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. A LOT of Christians use this verse as a way to be ignorant about Jesus's return. To them, it seems that since we can't know the exact day and hour (which is what it means) gives us the ability to avoid studying over 1/3 of the Bible that the LORD has dedicated to this topic. Jesus is actually referencing a Jewish idiom here. There are 7 feasts in Scripture and Jesus fulfilled 4 of them. The next one is the "Feast of Trumpets" which is called the feast that no one knows the day or hour of. It's called that not because people have to guess the date of the feast but because it can begin at any moment within a 48 hour period. Unlike a Calendar date the Feast of Trumpets begins when the first sliver of the moon appears after the New Moon and 2 witnesses had to see it and report it to the high priest and then the feast would begin. So Jesus is confirming that He will return on the Feast of Trumpets in the year He does we just won't know the exact moment He will return. It's like if I said I'm going to my Parent's house for Christmas Dinner but I'm not sure if it'll be on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. So do I know the exact time of the dinner? No. Have I ruled out the other 363 days of the year? Yes. This is the meaning of the verse. Also, at the moment Jesus said it He was a man who gave up part of His divinity when He left Heaven, having now ascended (Acts 1) He knows when His return is.
So we will never know the exact day or hour Jesus will return because there is a 48 hour window, and until the Temple is rebuilt we can't know when the final 7 years will begin. But we can see it on the horizon. It lets us know our KING is Coming. I hope this helps. Take care.

This was a great video brother (as they all are)! I'm a new follower of your channel. But I feel that I needed to say this: I personally don't understand why your apologizing for what your saying? And I say that with total support. I 100% agree with you and that all these people making such a big deal of and trying to determine when the end of days will occur are absolutely reacting and behaving in a way that was clearly not taught in the scriptures. And that it is all a waster of time. We are supposed to be aware of the signs and be prepared, and to help others be prepared by sharing the gospel. Not behave and live our lives in this manner of fear and paranoia. So I applaud you for telling everyone what they NEED to hear! And I definitely don't think you should apologize for being loving by trying to steer people in the right direction and to live as Jesus taught, although I understand why you did. I love what your doing man. God bless you!
My answer is no,we must keep our eyes on Jesus,and work for the night will come when no man will,occupy until then,but we do not know,so no matter who is saying different,use out time here to win souls preaching the Gospel
Wow. Listened for a while, can’t believe you said revelation is symbolic
I don't think a person can exegete Revelation without holding preterist, historicist and futurist views. "Write the things that were, that are, and that are to come."
Preterism #allprophecyfulfilled
@lavieenrose5954 On just a numbers game, the Earth is far more sinful than it was in Jesus' day, and that is not even counting the entire West's elevation of child sacrifice.
If this is heaven, it sucks.
And that is not even to mention that revelation was certainly written post 70 AD. "What was and what is and what is to com," still stands.
Thank you so much! This is where I had been falling for years but it did not align with many of my church friends! I believe that we are to focus on God, nothing else should be the priority.

This is why Jesus connects Revelation and the Gospels to Genesis. It's all connected. This is why He says His return will be like the Days of Noah and Lot.
Not only is it the most discussed topic in all of Scripture, we are living in the time the Bible is writing about.
Are we in the "end Times"? Yes. This is one of the most basic biblical concepts. We know Scripture doesn't begin in eternity past, it begins with Creation and Adam and Eve and it ends as we enter eternity (Rev 22). It covers a finite period of time. That finite period of time is 7000 years from Genesis 1-Revelation 21 (as Rev 22 is as we enter eternity). 6000 years of the dominion of mankind +1000 reign of Jesus. Jesus will return on or before the year 6000 and reign for 1000 years. Today this is debated but I will show you a lot of evidence that proves this framework, this is what has always been taught. from like 350AD all the way backwards to Genesis 1-2.
In Genesis 2 it says 15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Now we know Adam ate. Did he die in the next 24 hours? No. Genesis 5:5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. So is GOD a liar? No.
Our job is to figure out how both of these statements are true. We are given the biblical cipher.
Psalm 90:For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night.
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
The truth is that Adam died in the first "day" 930 years which was in the 1000 years. Year 1000 would be the end of Day 1.
Abraham (according to the genealogies in Genesis 5,10) lived in the year 2000 or end of Day 2)
David year 3000 or end of Day 3.
Now there is some debate whether Jesus's crucifixion was the year 4000 (end of Day 4) or if 70-75AD was the year 4000. So the year 6000 is between 2032-2075. This has been known since Genesis 1-2.
Assuming 2075AD is the year 6000 We are entering the last 50 years before the end of the dominion of mankind.
This is where Eschatology begins not ends. The greatest evangelistic tool in all of Scripture has been given to us. The future. We don't have to date-set and say Jesus is coming back on May 25, 2055, at 5pm Central. We can simply use Scripture to say here are the events that are predicted and the order they are predicted to occur in the window of time we have.
We all talk about "knowing GOD" but yet how many Christians know about the most covered topic in all of Scripture? Knowing GOD is not just knowing about GOD but also knowing why He does what He does. Knowing that this is His perfect plan and understanding why it's the perfect plan. Everything that is going on right now IS HIS plan. He's been actively collapsing America since January 30, 2020. He has allowed all of it to wake Christians up. See the LORD tells us that Abraham tried to save Sodom, that for all its sins the LORD would have spared Sodom if there were 10 righteous people (Genesis 18). That "IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME...TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS...I WILL FORGIVE THEM AND HEAL THEIR LAND." 2 Chronicles 7:14. He wants us to realize we as Christians are wicked before Him, that our hearts are not His.
The most talked about topic in all of Scripture that runs throughout almost every book of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation is the time we are in and we have Pastors and teachers either avoiding the topic or screwing it up so bad that no one wants to listen. Eschatology is the heart of the LORD.
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants-things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.
Now let's say for example 2032AD is the year 6000. It's possible.
Here's what the early Christians had to say.
We need to understand the lineage of disciples: Apostle John taught Polycarp. Polycarp taught Irenaeus, and Irenaeus taught Hippolytus.
Irenaeus (180 AD) “In 2 Thessalonians, the ‘falling away’ is an apostasy and there will be a literal rebuilt temple. In Matthew (24:15), the ‘abomination spoken by Daniel’ is the Antichrist sitting in the temple as if he were Christ. The abomination will start in the middle of Daniel’s 70th week and last for a literal three years and six months. The little horn is the Antichrist. Against Heresies 5.25 (notice literal Temple)
Hippolytus (170-235AD): On the End of the World A Discourse by the Most Blessed Hippolytus, Bishop and Martyr, on the End of the World, and on Antichrist, and on the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. "Above all, moreover, he will love the nation of the Jews. And with all these he will work signs and terrible wonders, false wonders and not true, in order to deceive his impious equals. For if it were possible, he would seduce even the elect from the love of Christ. But in his first steps he will be gentle, loveable, quiet, pious, pacific, hating injustice, detesting gifts, not allowing idolatry; loving, says he, the Scriptures, reverencing priests, honoring his elders, repudiating fornication, detesting adultery, giving no heed to slanders, not admitting oaths, kind to strangers, kind to the poor, compassionate. And then he will work wonders, cleansing lepers, raising paralytics, expelling demons, proclaiming things remote just as things present, raising the dead, helping widows, defending orphans, loving all, reconciling in love men who contend, and saying to such, “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath;” Ephesians 4:26 and he will not acquire gold, nor love silver, nor seek riches. And at first, indeed, that deceitful and lawless one, with crafty deceitfulness, will refuse such glory; but the men persisting, and holding by him, will declare him king... And after that he will build the temple in Jerusalem (notice literal Temple), and will restore it again speedily, and give it over to the Jews. And then he will be lifted up in heart against every man; yea, he will speak blasphemy also against God, thinking in his deceit that he shall be king upon the earth hereafter forever; not knowing, miserable wretch, that his kingdom is to be quickly brought to naught, and that he will quickly have to meet the fire which is prepared for him, along with all who trust him and serve him. For when Daniel said, “I shall make my covenant for one week,” Daniel 9:27 he indicated seven years; and the one half of the week is for the preaching of the prophets, and for the other half of the week - that is to say, for three years and a half -Antichrist will reign upon the earth. And after this his kingdom and his glory shall be taken away. Behold, ye who love God, what manner of tribulation there shall rise in those days, such as has not been from the foundation of the world, no, nor ever shall be, except in those days alone. Then the lawless one, being lifted up in heart, will gather together his demons in man’s for, and will abominate those who call him to the kingdom, and will pollute many souls. Section 23-25 (notice "And after that he will build the temple in Jerusalem (notice literal Temple), and will restore it again speedily, and give it over to the Jews.")
Barnabas -First Century) “You can perceive that their hope is vain. Furthermore, the Lord said, ‘Behold, they who destroy this temple, even they will again build it up once more.’ This prophecy was fulfilled because the Jews went to war against their enemy. But even though they are now no more than servants to Rome, they will return and rebuild the temple. It was revealed that the city of Jerusalem, the temple, and the people of Israel were to be given up.” Epistle of Barnabas 16:5-7
If the rebuilding of the Temple shows us we are in the final 7 years before Jesus's 2nd Coming, then we might expect to see this occur around Sept -December 2025. If that's the case then we should see the Red Heifer sacrificed before then. Since the Red Heifer's ashes will be needed to cleanse the materials before construction. What's sad is that non-Christians are talking about these things and Christians aren't. Eschatology lets us know where we are on the biblical timeline. We won't know when the final 7 years begin until the Temple is rebuilt. However, we can see it coming on the horizon. I hope this helps.Take care.
@@mbfrommb3699 I appreciate your thoughtful reply. I was not saying it was not important, I was saying it can be used improperly and thus focusing on end times and not God right now. I love learning about eschatology, but I need to remember God has his own time and his own way.
When I was newly saved I was taught about an endtime temple. I've since, through study and ecological teachings, do not believe a third temple will be built. Why? Because Christ at his death tore the veil down and taught that we are the temple.
The Jews don't believe any of that .... they will build a temple.
What a good presentation. Nate thank you. So many brothers and sisters fight over this issue.
If you believe in the end times, then to quote Michael Knowles: "Someone's gonna be living during the end times"
No such thing as the end times.
Christ’s New Covenant is everlasting and has no last days ❤
@@lavieenrose5954, so, the term 'End Times' is a term that's used to identify a period in time in which the 'birth pains' begin. It's a time when people are at their most WICKED, it's a time that mimics the days of Noah. This time period is when Bible Prophecy is quite literally LEAPING off the pages of The Bible. This is the time period that's right before the Rapture of the Church, 7 Year Tribulation (the time of 'Jacob's Trouble') and The Second Coming of Christ. It's viewed as the End Times because it's the time before the Millennial Reign of Christ Jesus, leaving behind the old wicked world that exists TODAY and all throughout our 6 thousand year history...
Thank you Nate for your words on this topic. I believe you're telling us the truth. Thank you for your help and God bless you 🙏😇 AMEN Brother.
Matthew 24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
As predicted, there is a lot of deception about the end times from various angles. It is popular to say "it is not a salvation issue". In a practical sense, though, this will turn out to be the very error by which the acceptance of many deceptions will be allowed without due discretion. Being unaware of who the Antichrist is, many will ally themselves with him.
Agreed and it's why the vocal point should always lead to Christ no matter what.
Matthew 24 was fulfilled in the first century with the destruction of Jerusalem and her temple in 70AD…
Christ’s New Covenant is everlasting and has no last days ❤
@@lavieenrose5954 Preterism is a ruse propounded by the agents of Antichrist for the purpose of concealing his identity and presence, just as Futurism is.
The destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. was certainly the fulfillment of Matthew 24:15-21 (Luke 21:20), but the second coming of Christ to gather the elect described in Matthew 24:29-31 has not been fulfilled.
In 1 John 2:18, written ca. 85-95 A.D., the coming of Antichrist is acknowledged in future tense.
Christ will not return until after the Mark of the Beast of Revelation has been instated and the death decree against those who keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ has been issued.

Looking at the future for the end times is like only looking right when crossing the road. Those who look both ways will safely make it to the other side.
We are told about the signs so we can discern the times. I don't think we are supposed to dissect the scriptures but we can discuss the signs of the times. We have to vigilant and pay attention as not to be decieved.
But we shouldn’t look at stuff today and falsely attribute them to scriptures outside of their context.
I agree I never talked about revelations too till recently it’s obvious we are in end times, it’s not meant to be scary for believers and it should be scary for unbelievers. Jesus said it so it would be known and told what to look for and to watch. I do not say I know the day or hour but it is nigh. John was taken into heaven to be should for a reason also, I believe it is to watch and be vigilant and to watch Gods Word to come to pass in his time he appointed it to🥰✝️🙏
You don't think we're supposed to dissect the Scriptures? Really? That doesn't make any sense... We're called to RIGHTLY DIVIDE the WORD, and we're called to read and STUDY the scriptures. That's LITERALLY DISSECTING the Scriptures in order to understand The Word and get closer to God.
@@gospelfreak5828, if you can't see that what's going on TODAY was ABSOLUTELY prophecied, I don't know what to tell you... I mean, what this Brother in the video has proven, it's that he has NO CLUE what he's talking about when it comes to this topic. I mean, I've been studying this since 2020 when all of this really started popping off. I can tell you first hand that EVERYTHING he covered: Red Heifers, Euphrates draining of water, this past eclipse and the Tetrads of Blood Moons, etc, he definitely knew NOTHING about. It's as if he didn't do ANY research at all. Very mind blowing...
Yes. The Bible teaches us the end times signs, it encourages us to study and understand these things, and it tells us to preach the word of God which includes these things.
We are not meant to know the day or time. Jesus comes like a thief in the night. Every day we need to be ready for Jesus. 🙏
But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief.
1 Thessalonians 5:4
To the unbelieving world, Jesus will return like a thief and catch them by surprise, returning in judgement.
Rev 3:3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.
Why did Jesus give us some of the warning signs? Lots of earthquakes in places they weren't before, here in oklahoma for example. I understand the parable of the servants keeping the lights on for their lords return and all, just curious
@@bonsaiavia7902So when you see these things beginning you will look up, because your redemption draweth nigh! So you can become ‘super’ vigilant in your “walk”! ❤️🔥🙏🙏🙏❤️🔥
Amen 🙏. I love your videos, how you always go to scripture and help us dive in and see what it really is saying. God bless you brother!
I'll also add that Revelation comes with a blessing to those who take the time to read it, study it, and understand it to the best of our ability. We can't fully understand it without Daniel, however, yet the closer we come to its threshold, the more understanding we will glean. Also to note is the fact the Tribulation is a judgment against the unbelieving world and to bring Israel back to God. Christians alive today already stand with God, and are not under His condemnation or wrath. Thus, Christians who are alive before the Tribulation will be raptured--caught up--and taken out of this world while God pours out His wrath for seven years. But He continues to make a way for people to put their faith in Him during that time, thus we do have Tribulation saints mentioned. But those are people who won't come to faith until after the Rapture has happened and things start going south big time. Anyone who claims Rev 6-19 has already happened doesn't have an accurate understanding on those chapters. These events will be global and catastrophic. Nothing like it has taken place on a global scale before.
Matthew 23:39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
Enoch 71:12 “And these blessings which went forth out of my mouth were well pleasing before that Head of Days. And that Head of Days came with Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel, thousands and ten thousands of angels without number.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Exodus 23:20-22 “Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him,for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him. But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
Enoch 69:14 “This (angel) requested Michael to show him the hidden name, that he might enunciate it in the oath, so that those might quake before that name and oath who revealed all that was in secret to the children of men. And this is the power of this oath, for it is powerful and strong, and he placed this oath Akae in the hand of Michael.”
Deu 10:16-20 Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stiff-necked no longer. For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow,and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing. Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast, and take oaths in His name.
Deu 6:13-15 You shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him, and shall take oaths in His name. You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you (for the Lord your God is a jealous God among you), lest the anger of the Lord your God be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth.
Jude 9 Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
Daniel 9/11-12 Yes, all Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him. And He has confirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; for under the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem.
Matthew 19:28-29 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.
I totally agree with what you said sister. I love brother Nate and appreciate his videos, but there are two types of Christians when looking at eschatology, those who study [specifically], eschatology and those who have no interest in studying the topic of eschatology. Which one would be closer to understanding last day events?
Is Nate saying that we cannot do both; preaching the Gospel/making disciples out of all the nations AND seek to understand eschatology?! I think we can. After all, roughly 1/3rd of the Bible IS prophetic. If God has revealed to us the end from the beginning, are we not to seek it out to understand? Oh well, I will continue to serve Christ, preach the Gospel AND look up, for His coming to retrieve His Bride. He is the Bridegroom, to take His Bride to His Father’s House. ❤️
@@Curtlegger You are making this very black and white. There are 3 types of Christians when put into context with eschatology: those who study it specifically, those who don't at all, and those who believe it's important because truth is important, but simply feel like we shouldn't get all caught up in the technicalities of this stuff and therefore should focus on Jesus' command of going and making disciples of all nations rather than pursuing a fascination of doomsday conspiracies. I would consider myself the latter because distractions such as when the last day will come doesn't matter at all when it comes to proclaiming the gospel and sharing the love of Christ with others. Rather it usually has kind of a negative effect on people because it gets them more concerned with the last days instead of our main purpose as Christians, which is to become more Christ-like individuals and to lead others to do the same.
Revelation is addressed to 7 specific historical churches, the city on the 7 hills is pagan Rome, the beast is Nero, the mark of the beast is the Roman imperial currency, it's not about the present.
@@tomasrocha6139 That's Preterist heresy. You basically are saying Jesus will never come back and all the versus Jesus and Paul talked about saying Jesus would return once the abomination of desolation sets foot in the temple (which Nero didn't even do) are just lies or some obscure metaphor. Or worst case you are full Preterist and believe Jesus already had his second coming in which case, may God have mercy on you.
Keep it up! It's great to have teachers like yourself on youTube.
I was a severe alcoholic for years. I prayed to Jehovah and Jesus to take it from me. June 16th of 2024 will make a year sober and not wanting alcohol! Thank you Lord for hearing my cry.
Praise God! I lost my wonderful husband to that spirit when he was only 53. I'm so happy for you 💓
I agree fully, people need to be worrying about people and spreading the good news and adhering to the whole bible.
You sound like your beliefs are amillennial. Are they? I have not found anyone online who will even explain these beliefs accurately. The idea that Revelation is primarily about the end of time has become so entrenched in people‘s minds that hardly anyone does anything but dismiss and mock any other interpretation. I agree that Revelation connects with the Old Testament prophecies. It is a Revelation of Jesus Christ and a warning against false teachings, not a description of physical events. The judgements and other events are spiritual. You are exactly right. We should not be unduly concerned with how the world is going to end, but with whether we are truly serving Him.
I am a premillenial, sort of, but I think anyone who has actually read Revelation should know that that book specifically highlights End Times prophecy. You cannot read that book in isolation when it jumps back and forth to other books in the Bible and to other verses said specifically by Jesus referring to the end times coming once the abomination of desolation sets foot in the Temple in Jerusalem. Even Paul says in 2 Thess, as well as 2 Timothy (I think, typing this from memory), about the Lawless One appearing and him being the marker of the final moments before Jesus returns.
Sure, we can go into the seven trumpets and what they symbolize and even go into how prophecy works (regarding how prophecy comes in two phases, the already and not yet fulfilled parts) but that doesn't change the very real nature of how Revelation is referring to End Times specifically and very, very prudently highlights markers signifying major events that will take place accordingly.
@@CasshernSinz1613 Thank you for your reply. I agree that the Revelation does have much end-time prophecy. I also believe that the time of the end or the latter days referred to in the Bible is the whole era from Christ’s first coming to die for our sins to His second coming when He will finish this old world. Also many of the prophecies have a multi-tiered fulfillment. They have already been fulfilled, but they will continue to be fulfilled until the end of time. My beliefs are specifically the beliefs of those who were called the Anabaptists before and during the time of the Reformation. Some of the more prolific writers were Menno Simons and Dietrich Phillips. They believed that many of the prophecies were first fulfilled by the apostate church who was persecuting them. In any case, I am happy to see that there are premillennialists who are willing to agree that we are not meant to know all about the end times. God has given us enough information to recognize the imminence of the end, but He has told us that we will not know the exact time nor how everything will play out. He reserves the final glory for Himself. Praise Him!
I'm amillennial. You can find a great description by Voddie Baucham, Just search youtube for his sermons on revelation.
The message of the end times to me is hope. The time will come when all comes to an end. If you look through the eyes of science. The universe may not disappear, but this planet and the solar system will. End of times for this planet. Still millions of years away. If you look into the Holy Bible, the signs are not small. They are for all to see. For all to hear. When the time comes all will know at once. The Holy Bible also set stages after all will know and all will see. The end of times is even further away after all will know. Hence hope. Even if we are near the time. Even the time of false prophets have not come. The time when mankind wears the Lord's mark on the forehead has not come. It is a secret and as the Holy Bible also has the test of man. I believe it is a test of mankind, not having secrets. Be aware we die. I die. They die. In the end. We do not. Again, hope.
Grace to humble but resistance for the proud.
On the same page . Love your videos Nate . May God continue to Bless you and your insight
We are allowed to know the season of His return.
That's PART of the purpose of prophecy.
Brother, thank you for bring us the TRUTH ♥️🙌🏼♥️🙌🏼♥️🙌🏼♥️
1. Watch or you will not know
“Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.”
Revelation 3:3 NKJV
2. If you know that judgment is coming and you do not warn the people the blood is on your hands
“when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’”
Ezekiel 33:3-6 NKJV
Noah Warned
Moses Warned
Jonah Warned
Jesus Warned
We should Warn of the upcoming judgement not just close our eyes to prophecy that’s being fulfilled for such a time as this
Why are we in the end times:
Biggest reason out of many:
“For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.”
Romans 11:25 NKJV
The lifting of the veil of the Jews who are now accepting Jesus as their messiah which signifies the fulfillment of the “fullness of the gentiles”
Lastly I am not concerned as to the saved in Christ, they can choose to ignore that we are in the end times, this is not a salvation issue, our main concern is to warn the lost and those who have not yet accepted Jesus The Christ.
1. Christ died (For Your sins)
2. Was buried
3. Rose again (the third day)
Accept this truth and you shall not perish but have eternal Life by he who is The Life, Jesus The Christ!
also no "qualified" Red Heifers for over 2,000 years, aka no blemish white hairs. but it's their prophecy that tells us we are close to the tribulation, their prophecy says there have been 9 red heiffer sacrifices, the tenth according to them brings about their messiah and some even claim that "The messiah" is the one who sacrifices the 10th red heifer, the reason why this is a christian concept is because we know "THEIR MESSIAH" is THE ANTICHRIST. aka whoever claims to be "MESSIAH" IS STANDING IN THE PLACE OF GOD PROCLAIMING HE IS GOD" AKA THE ANTICHRIST.
btw a christian from texas donated the red heiffers, also the biggest thing is the red heiffers have a limited time to be sacrificed, they have to be a specific age in order to qualify, they have to be 3 years old as per numbers 19
It does seem we are in the season
Amen! To that brother! So dumb, it's all over the bible. Why he even give us revelation?
wonderfully said God bless
verses that I think Christian’s who critique those watching should heed:
“But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Matthew 24:48-51 NKJV
“And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
Luke 12:38-40 NKJV
“But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.”
Luke 12:45-47 NKJV
“Then He also said to the multitudes, “Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming’; and so it is. And when you see the south wind blow, you say, ‘There will be hot weather’; and there is. Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?”
