I am from India, I am happy to join and hear your Bible study, Specially about book of Revelation, Yes I read many times book of Revelation but was not able to understand, But now with you with Bible study I will understand and be prepared for Lord Jesus coming back with strong faith by understanding each word of book of Revelation, Thanks, love your way of teaching and explaining way, God bless
Amen thank you for amplifying the Word of God. Jesus is Lord and Savior our ONLY HOPE who is coming soon. Good health, healing from any affliction, joy, peace and love for everyone.
My GOD I PRAISE YOU❤ MY SWEET SAVIOR I PRAISE YOU!!! Thank you for this Pastor❤ thank you for blessing him with such an amazing gift of teaching us your Church ⛪️ ❤ God i pray and ask you to only what you can do and save my lost family and friends in JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏 ❤
I absolutely love this man's teaching. So smart and great at getting straight to the point very plainly. Praise God for this teacher. I love it when I find someone I can learn from.
You bring the Word of God to life and feed our souls. Thank you Pastor Gary, may God pour grace, mercy, favor and peace to you, your children and your children’s children
The teaching is awesome. I taught adult Sunday school for years, but pastor hamrick put me back into elementary class. I now drink deeply every time I can from his lessons.
Beautiful Pastor. I love how you are braking this down so simply for us to understand. I have listened to video 1 and 2 and intend to listen to all of them. Thank you Pastor for your obedience.
Love this study from you. Second time listening. I just started Precept of Revelation and knew I needed to watch your series again because you give SO much insight through the Spirit. God bless.
This is a blessing, I have looked around for a teacher of Rev, and have been blocked from finding it. Till today, THANK YOU for your willingness to teach the WORD OF THE LORD
I liked the teaching about Church of Ephesus, especially when you gave reference from Book of Acts Chapter 17 and 18 when people of Ephesus burned their sorcery books which was worth millions of dollars and there was great awakening. The teaching is really praiseworthy.
The apostle John said the, "you need not that any man teach you." All you have to do is read it and study it yourself and the Holy Ghost will lead you into all truth. When instead you rely on others to decode things for you... "2Ti_4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;"
Thank you Pastor Gary Hanrick! This has been a real blessing. You explain one of the hardest books to read so well and easy to follow. This is much needed today. God Bless you for sharing this. Looking forward in watching this whole series and thankful a friend shared this to me by no accident of course.
So very blessed with your teaching. Watching in June of 2024. I was just speaking with my Sunday School teacher about this exact lesson from Revelation! I love how your teaching is like hers-very clear and awesome break down of the verses.
@susan....There is a clear distinction between the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. In the Torah (the first 5 books of the Old Testament, also called the Book of the Law), God designated the Sabbath as a day of "rest" for the nation of Israel. The Sabbath is on Saturday (actually beginning sunset Friday and ending sunset Saturday). Orthodox Jews still observe and keep the Sabbath as instructed in the Torah. The Lord's Day is Sunday. It was "established" in the New Testament and was called the Lord's Day because it was the day Jesus Christ our Lord arose from the dead. Jesus's resurrection on early Sunday morning gave birth to the Church and to recognizing Sunday as the Lord's Day. In the Old Testament, under the old covenant, obeying the Law and the sacrificial system was how the Jews "earned" their salvation, remained obedient to God. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law and gave Himself once and for all as the perfect sacrifice. There is no longer any need to observe or engae in legalistic practices (including making sacrifices and observing the Sabbath) because there is now only one way to God, and that is through a belief in Jesus Christ as the risen Son of God. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through the Son."
Thank you, Pastor Gary! I loved this session as I do all your studies. Thank you for taking the time out to learn and understand the Bible and relay it to us clear and concise. May God bless you and your family.!

From the Lord: 4 prophetic dreams....I am coming. U have no time left here, little time there. I see the evil brought about by the ones i love, ure being deceived. The evil one is here, and the false prophet who glorifies me in public, but hates Me in secret. The time is near. Be ready and cling to me or else perish and be separated from Me forever. I PRAY U LISTEN, THE TIME IS NOW
If I always listen to Cornerstone Chapel and Pastor Gary’s teachings can I consider it my church? I live in South America but this has been the teachings that I believe are the best and this is where I feel I belong and I don’t go to any physical church. Would that be ok for the Lord?
Sorry , with the respect......but Saturday still remains Sabbat, 7th day.matthew 12:8, mark 2:8,Luke 6: 5 Lord Jesus proclaiming that He is the One who exercises authority even over the rules and regulations that govern the Sabbat day .

So appreciate your solid teaching Gary! Thoroughly enjoyed this study of Revelation! When you referred to Matt 18:20, “where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Can you please clarify, I thought Matthew 18:20 was in reference to church discipline/confrontation, since we know God is with even a single believer😊
Regarding Jesus in Revelation 19: My kids did fencing as a sport. In competition (prepared to fight with a sword) their names are printed on their thighs and their backs.
The number seven represents completeness. In other words, the seven literal churches, spiritually represent the one complete church of God. Yeshua walks in the midst of the seven golden lamp stands communicating the fact that he is the head of the true church of Christ.
Is it possible for you to mail me out the Bible you use , so I can follow when I listen to you, I’m so happy and Blessed to find a Pastor on line that is not afraid to preach the word exactly how the Lord says , may the Lord always Bless you and keep you Strong to bring His word to us
My brother and sister-in-law have gotten indoctrinated into the SDA church and continue to focus on the Sabbath Day worship as necessary for salvation as it is the 4th commandment. I try to avoid any discussion about it because I know I will never be able to change their minds and it is causing division in our relationship. How can I respond in love as we do not agree on end time prophesy as well. My heart is grieved because our relationship has become so divided to the point I don't feel I can communicate with them except on a superficial basis. 😢
@teresa...I used to belong to a church like that. It was oppressive, and it was exhausting trying to earn and keep my salvation by my own strength and not "backslide." . Churches that teach salvation through your effort and adherence to legalistic practices are a classic example of condemnation and works because they reject clear teaching: salvation is by grace (not works). You can "work" because you love the Lord and appreciate His free gift of salvation. But it is not Biblical to work as a motive for earning salvation. There is a clear distinction between the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. In the Torah (the first 5 books of the Old Testament, also called the Book of the Law), God designated the Sabbath as a day of "rest" for the nation of Israel. The Sabbath is on Saturday (actually beginning sunset Friday and ending sunset Saturday). Orthodox Jews still observe and keep the Sabbath as instructed in the Torah. The Lord's Day is Sunday. It was "established" in the New Testament and was called the Lord's Day because it was the day Jesus Christ our Lord arose from the dead. Jesus's resurrection on early Sunday morning gave birth to the Church and to recognizing Sunday as the Lord's Day. In the Old Testament, under the old covenant, obeying the Law and the sacrificial system was how the Jews "earned" their salvation, remained obedient to God. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law and gave Himself once and for all as the perfect sacrifice. There is no longer any need to observe or engage in legalistic practices (including making sacrifices and observing the Sabbath) because there is now only one way to God, and that is through a belief in Jesus Christ as the risen Son of God. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through the Son." Scripture also says "You are saved by grace, not by works..."). You can never be good enough or do enough to earn your way into heaven. Trying to do so is essentially telling Jesus that His death and resurrection was useless and a waste of time. It is saying to Jesus, "No thanks, I will do this on my own strength. I don't need the free gift of your amazing grace as offered through your sacrificial and painful death. I can earn my own way to heaven by my own effort and works."
Is the Rapture mentioned as such in the Bible. Is it not also true that this doctrine is Darby/Schofield in origin. Can there be 2 second comings as they taught. Surely Christ said he will come again ie once. Surely he is not having an interim stop between heaven and earth where the believers will be suspended before he comes a third time?
Really? Two separate events, completely. Paul describes and shows us the event of The Rapture of The Church. Equally, the newly raptured Church is clearly shown inside of the throne room of God (in Revelation 4:4; 4:10 and 5:9-10(KJV), prior to the opening of the first seal in Revelation 6:1-2/revealing of the antichrist/onset of the tribulation.
Pastor, does these 7 churches represent or takes about seven period of church history? If so, then will it not disagree with the eminent coming of Christ in Apostles time?
Because Jesus Christ rose from the dead early Sunday morning. That is why Sunday is called the Lord's Day. The Sabbath (Saturday), established by the Old Testament Law, is not the same as the Lord's Day (Sunday), the day Jesus resurrected. Law versus Grace.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PASTORS DRESS UP 4 THE LORD AS THEY ARE SPEAKING ABOUT OUR LORD OUR PASTOR ALWAYS LOOKS SO NICE IN THEIR SUITS/ HE SAYS IF JESUS WERE B4 HIM HE WOULD LIKE TO BE IN HIS BEST SUIT....
If you check, it was Friday when the Lord was lead in the tomb and the women who tended to him had to leave before sunset as they would breaking the Sabbath rules. No-one came to the tomb on the Saturday but Mary came on the following g day and saw the stone had been rolled away and our Lord was risen. This is why Sunday is the Lord's day

Amen. The explicit command, mandate of God the Father for all createdkinds through His Only Begotten Son by eternal decree (Psa. 2:7-12,6) is for all createdkinds specifically created humankind & angelkind persons to come exclusively, directly to His Son, Jesus Christ, the Historical, Singular, Personal and directly Self-appearing/revealing, Self-identifying & Self-claiming God Almighty (El Shaddai [Gen. 17:1]/ Kyrios Theos Pantokrator [Rev. 1:8,17-18; 22:12-13]) & I AM WHO I AM (Exo. 3:1-18; 6:1-8 cf. Jn. 8:23-24,28,58). JESUS The Eternal Pre-Cosmic & Pre-Incarnate Christ ( Anointed One) (Gen. 1:1,27,31 cf. Col. 1:15-17; Heb. 1:3; Gen. 2:7 cf. Acts 17:25-28; Isa. 42:5) is exclusively the Anointed Mediator, Intervenor, Channel, Eternal Great High Priest. (John 14:6; 1 Tim. 2:3-4,5-6; 1 Jn. 2:1-2; 1 Cor. 8:6; Heb. 7:15-25; 4:14-16; 8:1-2; 3:1-6; 2 Tim. 2:19,22). He is the Divine Person of the TRIUNE LORD (YAHWEH) GOD (ELOHIM), the Biblically revealed Trinity, the Directly Self-identifying & Self-claiming I AM WHO I AM whose memorial name forever & throughout all generations is LORD (Exo. 3:14-15; Hos. 12:5; Isa. 6:1-8 cf. Jn. 12:41,37-40; Acts 10:36; Rom. 10:9-12, 13; Phil. 2:9-11; 2 acor. 12:3; Rev. 17:14; 19:16; Matt. 7:21-23) is the LAWGIVER In Exodus 20:1-17 cf. James 4:12, who demands exclusive worship from all of creation. (Exo. 20:1-7; Heb. 1:6; Matt. 4:10-11; Luke 4:8; Phil. 2:9-11) to the glory of God the Father in the power of God the Holy Spirit (John 16:13-15; 14:26; 15:26; Acts 2:8; Rom. 8:9; 1 Pet. 1:10-12; Zech. 4:6; 7:12; Neh. 9:20,30). Thus, redeemed sinners from generation to generation prays directly & exclusively to the Almighty, Lord, God, the Son, Incarnate, Perfect Manhood and ALL IN ALL, JESUS CHRIST (Jer. 33:3; Psa. 50:15; 91:14-16; Jn. 14:6,13-14; 15:7; 1 Cor. 16:22; Eph. 6:24; 1 John 5:14-15; 3:22). This is in fulfillment of God the Father’s all-prevailing perfect will, eternal purpose, and eternal decree (John 6:39-40; Heb. 1:6; Matt. 4:10-11; Luke 4:8; Rev. 5:8-12; Heb. 10:5-14; Matt. 6:9-10; Eph. 3:9-11; Psalm 2:6-12) in accordance with the Trinity’s Everlasting Covenant (Heb. 13:20, 8; 1:2-12; 2 Tim. 1:8-10; Eph. 1:3-23; etc.). Our Almighty Lord God Jesus Christ, the Great, Chief, Good Shepherd, bless you abundantly & His flock under your spiritual care.
The Sabbath is not the same as the Lord's Day. The Sabbath is as you say. It was first established because God rested from His work on Day 7 (which begins on Friday Sunset). The Sabbath is Old Testament Law and is still practiced by the Jews. However, the Lord Jesus Christ rose on the first day of the week (Sunday). The cornerstone of Christianity (the resurrection event) is why Christians (not Jews) celebrate Sunday as the Lord's Day -- again, not the same as the Sabbath. Jews are still under the Law. Christians are under Grace.
Revelation chapters two and three do not support the idea of the "so called" church age. For example: #1) Church in Ephesus 53 - 100 AD Apostolic Church age #2) Church in Smyrna 100 - 312 AD Martyr Church age If the Church in Smyrna represents the "Martyr Church Age", how is it that all the Apostles were martyred during the "Apostolic Church Age"? Years the Apostles were martyred James 44-45 AD Peter 64 AD Andrew 70 AD Thomas 70 AD Philip 54 AD Matthew 60-70 AD Nathanael 70 AD James the lesser 44-45 AD Simon, the Zealot 74 AD Judas Thaddeus 72 AD John 95 AD Matthias 70 AD Paul 67 AD The Holy Scriptures do not support the idea of "Church Ages".
I like his humour and style of delivery - however I don't agree with him that Sunday is the LORD'S Day. The Bible is replete with verses proving that the LORD'S Day is the Sabbath / Saturday. There is not a single verse in the Bible that points to Sunday ... Could someone out there prove from Scripture that Sunday is the LORD'S Day. Thanks....
The leasns you teach is very Biblical but I have a question?Exodus 20 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ³ Thou shalt have no gods before me. ⁴ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
How is this in any relation to what's in Revelation if you don't mind me asking? - It's God's spirit which Mary had when Jesus was born, not like us out of Intercourse. - Jesus and father are one - There's no graven image in the Revelation but symbolic expression Please spend time reading the Bible with the Help of the Holy Spirit.!!!
Really? That is unfortunate for you, that you turned off the truth of God’s Word. This spiritually awake and anointed pastor is speaking biblical truth. He is speaking of those who are truly THE born again, spirit-filled, faithful, watching and waiting Church…The Church of Philadelphia. The scriptural proof? Revelation 3:10 proves this for The Church of Philadelphia…only.
@@WARTV-dn5fk Oh, really? Let’s look at Jesus’ own actions, where women were concerned. Jesus, Himself, knew the strength, power and resilience of believing women. He entrusted Mary Magdalene (not a man) as THE messenger to relay the news of His resurrection TO the disciples (men). Mary Magdalene was the first person to see Jesus after he had risen, and the first he entrusted with the message of his Resurrection-even though Jesus, for certain, knew the Jewish culture considered a woman’s word and testimony worthless. Jesus was showing otherwise! After all, John did make sure to point out that in running to the tomb that he beat Peter there, and admitted his surprise that the tomb was empty, but he leaves the credit with Mary as the first person to whom the angels appear at the tomb and the first person to speak with the risen Christ. As a man, John’s testimony would have been more accepted-and the disciples for sure wanted the fact of the Resurrection to be accepted. But Jesus had shown in his actions that women were a part of his ministry and John seems to have honored that.
@@dlkoehler5 You will note: it is now from your initial query 6 months later… and you have yet to receive his reply. Why? There is NO scripture debunking this pastor’s message of biblical truth regarding THE truth of the pre-tribulation rapture of The Church.
I am from India, I am happy to join and hear your Bible study, Specially about book of Revelation, Yes I read many times book of Revelation but was not able to understand, But now with you with Bible study I will understand and be prepared for Lord Jesus coming back with strong faith by understanding each word of book of Revelation, Thanks, love your way of teaching and explaining way, God bless

thank you soo much for this clear teaching .I enjoyed listening. jeannette Gagel
So thankful that I just found you! This is what I’ve been searching for to read and understand the words of the Lord! Thank you!!
The apostle John said the, "you need not that any man teach you." All you have to do is read it and study it yourself and the Holy Ghost will lead you into all truth.

You can’t lose your salvation but you can walk away from it. The Lord always gives us a choice.
Easy to understand with many details, well done!
Aleluyah, praise God.
Jesus loves me
So very blessed with your teaching. Watching in June of 2024. I was just speaking with my Sunday School teacher about this exact lesson from Revelation! I love how your teaching is like hers-very clear and awesome break down of the verses.
Thank you for these great teachings. Amen.
Wow Thank you for teaching on a very tough end Book which many pastors 'afraid' to go deep and made it simple and clear. Shalom!
I'm now understanding some of the book Revelations. Thank you 🙂
Thank so much pastor Gary I am sharing all your teaching on REVELATION on Facebook with all my families and friends 🙏😇
Thank you so much for this pastor 😭,i thank God you brought this revelation to us..so blessed!!!
AND MY PEOPLE ARE THE CALLED AND CHOSEN ONES.......
I believe the Lord's day is the Sabbath. Man changed that to Sunday.
Because Jesus arose from the grave on Sunday, most Christians consider Sunday the Lord's day. But Idk which is actually correct.

In the Torah (the first 5 books of the Old Testament, also called the Book of the Law), God designated the Sabbath as a day of "rest" for the nation of Israel.

I am learning so much from this series!! Thank you.
Unfortunately, you're learning biblical error. The teaching of a rapture before tribulation is a deception.
Loved the study thankyou
Your teachings have been a great help in our bible study in Revelation. Thank you!
Thank you pastor Gary . You explain so clearly and with indepth Bible study.
There were NO single lead pastors back then. The churches had a plurality of elders no one person in charge. That came after the time of the apostles
Praise God for godly+ Biblical teachers . Pastor Garry God bless you. I got yr link fr a Pastor/brother in Zambia as i am in S AFrica . Thank you
Amen.
I am struggling with anxiety .My daughter too.Please pray for me
AMEN...♥️♥️♥️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
From the Lord: 4 prophetic dreams....I am coming. U have no time left here, little time there. I see the evil brought about by the ones i love, ure being deceived.

My brother and sister-in-law have gotten indoctrinated into the SDA church and continue to focus on the Sabbath Day worship as necessary for salvation as it is the 4th commandment. I try to avoid any discussion about it because I know I will never be able to change their minds and it is causing division in our relationship. How can I respond in love as we do not agree on end time prophesy as well. My heart is grieved because our relationship has become so divided to the point I don't feel I can communicate with them except on a superficial basis. 😢
@teresa...I used to belong to a church like that. It was oppressive, and it was exhausting trying to earn and keep my salvation by my own strength and not "backslide." . Churches that teach salvation through your effort and adherence to legalistic practices are a classic example of condemnation and works because they reject clear teaching: salvation is by grace (not works). You can "work" because you love the Lord and appreciate His free gift of salvation. But it is not Biblical to work as a motive for earning salvation.
There is a clear distinction between the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. In the Torah (the first 5 books of the Old Testament, also called the Book of the Law), God designated the Sabbath as a day of "rest" for the nation of Israel. The Sabbath is on Saturday (actually beginning sunset Friday and ending sunset Saturday). Orthodox Jews still observe and keep the Sabbath as instructed in the Torah.
The Lord's Day is Sunday. It was "established" in the New Testament and was called the Lord's Day because it was the day Jesus Christ our Lord arose from the dead. Jesus's resurrection on early Sunday morning gave birth to the Church and to recognizing Sunday as the Lord's Day.
In the Old Testament, under the old covenant, obeying the Law and the sacrificial system was how the Jews "earned" their salvation, remained obedient to God. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law and gave Himself once and for all as the perfect sacrifice. There is no longer any need to observe or engage in legalistic practices (including making sacrifices and observing the Sabbath) because there is now only one way to God, and that is through a belief in Jesus Christ as the risen Son of God. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through the Son." Scripture also says "You are saved by grace, not by works..."). You can never be good enough or do enough to earn your way into heaven. Trying to do so is essentially telling Jesus that His death and resurrection was useless and a waste of time. It is saying to Jesus, "No thanks, I will do this on my own strength. I don't need the free gift of your amazing grace as offered through your sacrificial and painful death. I can earn my own way to heaven by my own effort and works."
Great lesson, you mentioned at mark 20:33 to get the "booklet" Could you tell me which booklet you were referring too?
Is the Rapture mentioned as such in the Bible. Is it not also true that this doctrine is Darby/Schofield in origin. Can there be 2 second comings as they taught. Surely Christ said he will come again ie once. Surely he is not having an interim stop between heaven and earth where the believers will be suspended before he comes a third time?
Really? Two separate events, completely. Paul describes and shows us the event of The Rapture of The Church. Equally, the newly raptured Church is clearly shown inside of the throne room of God (in Revelation 4:4; 4:10 and 5:9-10(KJV), prior to the opening of the first seal in Revelation 6:1-2/revealing of the antichrist/onset of the tribulation.
Pastor, does these 7 churches represent or takes about seven period of church history?
If so, then will it not disagree with the eminent coming of Christ in Apostles time?

QUESTION WHEN YOU WALK AWAY FROM Jesus DO YOU LOSE YOUR SALVATION?
Remove your lamp stand from it’s place. Is this not a reference to removing the church of Ephesus itself?
Why is Lords day on Sunday? Is that a man made date? This is not a controversial question, just want to know if it is on the Bible.
Because Jesus Christ rose from the dead early Sunday morning. That is why Sunday is called the Lord's Day. The Sabbath (Saturday), established by the Old Testament Law, is not the same as the Lord's Day (Sunday), the day Jesus resurrected. Law versus Grace.
Ephesus is called Izmir today. It was a center of imperial cult of Rome
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PASTORS DRESS UP 4 THE LORD AS THEY ARE SPEAKING ABOUT OUR LORD OUR PASTOR ALWAYS LOOKS SO NICE IN THEIR SUITS/ HE SAYS IF JESUS WERE B4 HIM HE WOULD LIKE TO BE IN HIS BEST SUIT....
Gary
I really enjoy your teaching. Please tell me where in the Bible, the Lord’s Day is Sunday. Thank you.

If you check, it was Friday when the Lord was lead in the tomb and the women who tended to him had to leave before sunset as they would breaking the Sabbath rules. No-one came to the tomb on the Saturday but Mary came on the following g day and saw the stone had been rolled away and our Lord was risen. This is why Sunday is the Lord's day

do you want to mean that he had a book and a pen when he was exiled to the land of patmos?
Amen. The explicit command, mandate of God the Father for all createdkinds through His Only Begotten Son by eternal decree (Psa. 2:7-12,6) is for all createdkinds specifically created humankind & angelkind persons to come exclusively, directly to His Son, Jesus Christ, the Historical, Singular, Personal and directly Self-appearing/revealing, Self-identifying & Self-claiming God Almighty (El Shaddai [Gen. 17:1]/ Kyrios Theos Pantokrator [Rev. 1:8,17-18; 22:12-13]) & I AM WHO I AM (Exo. 3:1-18; 6:1-8 cf. Jn. 8:23-24,28,58). JESUS The Eternal Pre-Cosmic & Pre-Incarnate Christ ( Anointed One) (Gen. 1:1,27,31 cf. Col. 1:15-17; Heb. 1:3; Gen. 2:7 cf. Acts 17:25-28; Isa. 42:5) is exclusively the Anointed Mediator, Intervenor, Channel, Eternal Great High Priest. (John 14:6; 1 Tim. 2:3-4,5-6; 1 Jn. 2:1-2; 1 Cor. 8:6; Heb. 7:15-25; 4:14-16; 8:1-2; 3:1-6; 2 Tim. 2:19,22).
He is the Divine Person of the TRIUNE LORD (YAHWEH) GOD (ELOHIM), the Biblically revealed Trinity, the Directly Self-identifying & Self-claiming I AM WHO I AM whose memorial name forever & throughout all generations is LORD (Exo. 3:14-15; Hos. 12:5; Isa. 6:1-8 cf. Jn. 12:41,37-40; Acts 10:36; Rom. 10:9-12, 13; Phil. 2:9-11; 2 acor. 12:3; Rev. 17:14; 19:16; Matt. 7:21-23) is the LAWGIVER In Exodus 20:1-17 cf. James 4:12, who demands exclusive worship from all of creation. (Exo. 20:1-7; Heb. 1:6; Matt. 4:10-11; Luke 4:8; Phil. 2:9-11) to the glory of God the Father in the power of God the Holy Spirit (John 16:13-15; 14:26; 15:26; Acts 2:8; Rom. 8:9; 1 Pet. 1:10-12; Zech. 4:6; 7:12; Neh. 9:20,30). Thus, redeemed sinners from generation to generation prays directly & exclusively to the Almighty, Lord, God, the Son, Incarnate, Perfect Manhood and ALL IN ALL, JESUS CHRIST (Jer. 33:3; Psa. 50:15; 91:14-16; Jn. 14:6,13-14; 15:7; 1 Cor. 16:22; Eph. 6:24; 1 John 5:14-15; 3:22). This is in fulfillment of God the Father’s all-prevailing perfect will, eternal purpose, and eternal decree (John 6:39-40; Heb. 1:6; Matt. 4:10-11; Luke 4:8; Rev. 5:8-12; Heb. 10:5-14; Matt. 6:9-10; Eph. 3:9-11; Psalm 2:6-12) in accordance with the Trinity’s Everlasting Covenant (Heb. 13:20, 8; 1:2-12; 2 Tim. 1:8-10; Eph. 1:3-23; etc.).
Our Almighty Lord God Jesus Christ, the Great, Chief, Good Shepherd, bless you abundantly & His flock under your spiritual care.
Think Jewish Pastor Gary,The Lord’s day is not Sunday but Friday evening at sundown to Saturday evening at sundown.
The Sabbath is not the same as the Lord's Day. The Sabbath is as you say. It was first established because God rested from His work on Day 7 (which begins on Friday Sunset). The Sabbath is Old Testament Law and is still practiced by the Jews. However, the Lord Jesus Christ rose on the first day of the week (Sunday). The cornerstone of Christianity (the resurrection event) is why Christians (not Jews) celebrate Sunday as the Lord's Day -- again, not the same as the Sabbath. Jews are still under the Law. Christians are under Grace.
How close are we to the rapture?
Revelation chapters two and three do not support the idea of the "so called" church age.
For example:
#1) Church in Ephesus 53 - 100 AD Apostolic Church age
#2) Church in Smyrna 100 - 312 AD Martyr Church age
If the Church in Smyrna represents the "Martyr Church Age", how is it that all the Apostles were martyred during the "Apostolic Church Age"?
Years the Apostles were martyred
James 44-45 AD
Peter 64 AD
Andrew 70 AD
Thomas 70 AD
Philip 54 AD
Matthew 60-70 AD
Nathanael 70 AD
James the lesser 44-45 AD
Simon, the Zealot 74 AD
Judas Thaddeus 72 AD
John 95 AD
Matthias 70 AD
Paul 67 AD
The Holy Scriptures do not support the idea of "Church Ages".
Give me down load
😅😅😊.
I like his humour and style of delivery - however I don't agree with him that Sunday is the LORD'S Day. The Bible is replete with verses proving that the LORD'S Day is the Sabbath / Saturday. There is not a single verse in the Bible that points to Sunday ... Could someone out there prove from Scripture that Sunday is the LORD'S Day. Thanks....
The leasns you teach is very Biblical but I have a question?Exodus 20 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
³ Thou shalt have no gods before me.
⁴ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
How is this in any relation to what's in Revelation if you don't mind me asking?
- It's God's spirit which Mary had when Jesus was born, not like us out of Intercourse.
- Jesus and father are one
- There's no graven image in the Revelation but symbolic expression
Please spend time reading the Bible with the Help of the Holy Spirit.!!!
Great preaching but there is no such concept of being " slain in the spirit" in the Bible
Second coming, not rapture.
TURNED OFF at 25:40, as soon as you said Evangelicals will be raptured out before the tribulation: WRONG 😇
Would love to know the biblical references why you think otherwise? I’m trying to figure this out and would appreciate any info you can share.
Really? That is unfortunate for you, that you turned off the truth of God’s Word. This spiritually awake and anointed pastor is speaking biblical truth. He is speaking of those who are truly THE born again, spirit-filled, faithful, watching and waiting Church…The Church of Philadelphia. The scriptural proof? Revelation 3:10 proves this for The Church of Philadelphia…only.
@@misskj7773 1Timothy 2:12 🤫
@@WARTV-dn5fk Oh, really? Let’s look at Jesus’ own actions, where women were concerned. Jesus, Himself, knew the strength, power and resilience of believing women. He entrusted Mary Magdalene (not a man) as THE messenger to relay the news of His resurrection TO the disciples (men).
Mary Magdalene was the first person to see Jesus after he had risen, and the first he entrusted with the message of his Resurrection-even though Jesus, for certain, knew the Jewish culture considered a woman’s word and testimony worthless. Jesus was showing otherwise! After all, John did make sure to point out that in running to the tomb that he beat Peter there, and admitted his surprise that the tomb was empty, but he leaves the credit with Mary as the first person to whom the angels appear at the tomb and the first person to speak with the risen Christ. As a man, John’s testimony would have been more accepted-and the disciples for sure wanted the fact of the Resurrection to be accepted. But Jesus had shown in his actions that women were a part of his ministry and John seems to have honored that.
@@dlkoehler5 You will note: it is now from your initial query 6 months later… and you have yet to receive his reply. Why? There is NO scripture debunking this pastor’s message of biblical truth regarding THE truth of the pre-tribulation rapture of The Church.
