Pastor Heitzig is an excellent teacher and I return to him when there is something I do not know or want to know more about because his knowledge of the scriptures is explemplary . Thank you Pastor Skip!
I use this scripture to comfort patients families who are believers losing a loved one and for patients who have terminal illness and are frightened. Their faces light up and a smile comes onto their faces. Sometimes the Holy Spirit leads me to ask them if they want to pray or have me pray with them. It’s a beautiful thing. Jesus Christ comforts us. God is the Father of all comfort. Because I have experienced a lot of loss, I am even more empathetic to the family that are losing their loved ones.
9/11/2024: Amen!! Me too. Especially one Samoan patient I have. I call her “Rapture Ready”. She is in her later 80’s and her face just lights up when I tell her that one day she will hear that “holy blow” 🎺🎺🎺and see JESUS 🎺. She smiles from ear to ear whenever I talk about the Rapture. One day I said that to her and she started singing, “I’m going to run, run, run to my JESUS when I see HIM”. She is such a witness to me even though she is wheelchair bound, blind, and on dialysis…such a godly woman. Comfort one another with these words writes Paul……and truly “these words” are comforting indeed. Have a BLESSED DAY & Maranatha from Hawaii🌺🌴🌴. Come quickly, LORD JESUS 😢🎺🎺🎺
Thank you Pastor Skip!! I use to be a part of SDA growing up, my family left that all behind and I had to search the word of God myself to find the truth of the pre trib rapture 😊 so thankful. Unfortunately the church I now go to is studying the book of revelation and I was shocked that my Pastor is teaching that there is no rapture or post trib.. my heart sank… all the things you said about those who believe the rapture is a new idea 💡 s what is being taught. Nothing being taking literal in the book of revelation. I love my church and my Pastor, but so thankful there are those who teach the truth of God’s word like you and Jack Hibbs and Amir Tsarfati 😊 Thank you so very much God bless you richly for teaching
Isaiah 60:8 WHO are These THAT FLY AS A CLOUD, And AS DOVES To Their Windows? 10/11 Their Computer Screens? THEY ARE God's Children. They FLY/RUSH To Meet The Lord IN (The Air) IN (Cyber SPACE) On Internet. And SO (In THAT WAY) Shall We EVER BE With The Lord. We Are NOT Going To FLY Around IN THE SKY FOREVER With Jesus. The Word (Rapture) IS NOT IN THE BIBLE. Rev.22:15-21 Woe Unto Those Who Have Added (The Rapture) And PREACH The Rapture (AS) GOD'S (TRUTH).
For I know that my Redeemer lives , and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my body is decayed, yet in my flesh shall I see GOD. Job 19: 24 - 25
Cannot wait for that glorious day when we are caught up in the twinkling of an eye. Can you imagine the praise and worship around the throne right now with all of our relatives who have gone on before us? The Lord gave me a vision recently and I don't know why; maybe I was wondering. He showed me that I was lying down, my eyes were closed. But another "me" rose up from that body. It looked like the me that was lying down. So my spirit was leaving my body in this vision, yet I looked the same. Hopefully, the Lord will change this new "look" quickly! I'd rather look a bit better.
Looking so forward to THAT WONDERFUL DAY!!! Maranatha 🕊❤️🎺🎺 9/11/2024: When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be…when we SEE JESUS we shout sing and shout the victory!!! Come quickly, Blessed LORD 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺
.... pray, fast, read your Bible, and you will become close to the Lord Jesus Christ. If you commit a sin confess it to the Lord and he will forgive you. Trust in him with all your heart, and may GOD richly bless you my beloved.
You don't want to be here Jesus said if they hated me they will hate you also pick up your cross and follow me.What did I just say it is appointed that everyone die once . This is the truth the word of God is the truth if you live your life for Yeshua Jesus don't worry when you see him face to face you will be as he is Amen
“I pray *not* that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest *keep* them from the evil.” {John 17:15} “Remember the word that I said unto you, *The servant is not greater than his lord* If they have persecuted me, *they will also persecute you* if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.” “But all these things *will they do unto you for my name's sake* because they know not him that sent me.” {John 15:20-21} And they [the Apostles] departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. {Acts 5:41}
If you're attempting to deny or argue with this exposition with these scripture quotes - do you realize that all of those quotes dealt directly with those living apostles at the time - directly - they themselves all suffered persecution as promised? All of those were fulfilled literally. Christians have also been "persecuted" every single day since the first century - up until this moment. So you have no point really. Persecutions happened - persecutions are ongoing - persecutions will continue - none of that has anything to do with what was just preached - unless you have a hard heart & some sadomasochist belief - thinking you're only worthy of His sacrifice if you, yourself & the whole church in the future suffers persecution? That's pretty twisted my friend, I feel sorry for you. I'll pray that God softens your heart.
@@mudman619 Not one of the persecuted Christians have ever been raptured away. What makes you presume to think that the Lukewarm Christians of today will be any different? Your assumptions are vain.

@@mudman619 AMEN THANK YOU! I have been reading his comments and finding it rude to try and TRUMP a pastor who is teaching. I was getting ready to say the same thing but you said it better.
Do not love your life or anyone more than Jesus Christ and do not fear death or man but only fear the God who has the power to kill body and condemn the soul. Be rapture ready everyday and be prepared to die for your faith. We were never promised no persecution. Saints have been and are being persecuted for their faith today. This will only increase as the days go by.
While I love listening to your teachings, it seems the last couple of podcasts have been very difficult to hear. I find myself holding my iPhone up to my ear as I’m listening in the car. 🤷🏼♀️
Skip, I love your sermons. I don't think that Paul believed that the rapture would happen in his day. The apostles were the last appointed onto death. Also, Peter was told that in his old age, he would be led where he would not want to go. Finally, all the technology that the Antichrist would need to control the world wouldn't be around for thousands of years into the future. When Paul said "we brethern," maybe he meant Christians corporate and not those alive at that time.

Matthew 24:29-3O Jesus said: Immediately AFTER the tribulation shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Beloved of Christ, when the Bible uses "us" and "we' it is referring to His "Elect", those chosen from before the foundation of the world (Eph 1:4) and given to the Son (Jn 6:39), with their names written into the "Lamb's Book of Life" from the foundation of the world (Rev 13:8, 17:8). While all the Elect are believers, not all believers will be saved (Mt 7:21-23). Furthermore, only the "Elect" are born from above (Jn 3:3), and given eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to understand (Is 6:10, Jer 5:21, Mt 13:15). Moreover, only "His Elect" will be gathered from out of the extremities of heaven and earth with a "Great Trumpet" (Mt 24:31), during "The Last Day" (Jn 6:39-40,44-54), after the sun and moon have been darkened and the stars fall (Mt 24:29).
As an ex jw I’ll correct the pastor here As far as JWS anyway , they dont think the souls is asleep and the body dead Because they say the Bible does not teach that we HAVE. Soul at all We ARE a soul. NO such thing as a separate spiritual part that exists separate from the body Basically. You simply do t exist anymore Man’s rhe resurrection would then be , somehow, God re creating you Kinda like a clone of the old you. He remembers and preserves you in memory only Then. Raises the person I tend to disagree But that’s their view Just a little info
WHEN IS THE RAPTURE / RESURRECTION? In Revelation 20:4-6 the last book of the Bible there are only 2 more FUTURE Resurrections (Raptures) spoken of: (after the 2 witnesses appear) 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the FIRST RESURRECTION. or rapture 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the FIRST RESURRECTION: on such the SECOND DEATH hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. In the above scriptures, these are the Martyrs. John said "this is the first resurrection." John didn't say this is the "second phase of the first resurrection," as pre-tribbers claim. If this is the FIRST resurrection, can there be a resurrection before this one? Of course not, unless you want to ADD to the bible which is forbidden! The First Resurrection is of the dead in Christ and the Second is after 1000 years. Paul wrote that the Dead in Christ MUST rise FIRST, THEN we who are alive and remain will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 16 ...and the dead in Christ shall RISE FIRST 17 THEN we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them... In Rev. 20:4-5, John sees the souls of Saints who were BEHEADED for refusing the Mark of the Beast during the Great Tribulation. John writes that they will rise and reign with Christ for 1000 years and that this is the FIRST RESURRECTION! If according to John, the beheaded rise in the FIRST resurrection and Paul said those who are alive and remain are not caught up until AFTER the dead in Christ are resurrected, then this means the catching up or rapture takes place AFTER tribulation! Now compare the above with 1 CORINTHIANS 15:20-23: 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of those who slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; AFTERWARDS THOSE WHO ARE CHRIST'S AT HIS COMING. Notice only one resurrection of the dead in Christ is mentioned here! Which, according to Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 must take place BEFORE we who are alive and remain are "caught up" with them! When did Jesus say the dead in Christ would be resurrected? John 6:39-40: Jesus said, "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up ON THE LAST DAY. John 6:44: Jesus said, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up ON THE LAST DAY." Is the LAST DAY the thousand year reign of Christ? I believe so....then it is eternity and time is counted no more So if Jesus himself said the dead in Christ will be raised on the LAST DAY, and Paul said we who are alive and remain will not be caught up (raptured) until AFTER the dead are raised, then where does secret pre-trib rapture fit in? Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:52 - In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMP last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. We are changed at the LAST TRUMP and where is this found? In REVELATION, the LAST BOOK of the Bible there are 7 trumps and the 7th trump is the LAST ONE and is at the END end of the tribulation. there is not a 7th last trump prior to the tribulation.
All those asleep are in the grave. Cant have it both ways. Lazarus heard His voice say come forth, not come down. Why is it so hard to accept that we rest in peace, in our graves until the Lord comes for us? The dead in Christ will rise 1st. That means they're not in heaven yet. Noone has put on in corruption not have been changed yet. Double talk. He went to heaven in his earthly body the same as us. Only a handful met with the Lord in heaven. Where are they staying if he,s preparing a place in His father's house & will then return for us. It makes no sense.

I'm sure this fellow is a very nice man. At no time in his presentation does he mention the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When the disciples came to Jesus and asked him about the end times the very first thing he says to them is, do not be deceived. Jesus also says, those that endure till the end will be saved. Read and study the gospel and don't be deceived by charlatans that twist the words of the Apostles. The word rapture is not in the Bible. The word rapture is derived from Latin when the original text was in Greek. Jesus comes one time and that is Judgement Day
For those that believe there will be a pretribulation rapture a question: In 1 Thessalonians 4 who is Paul talking to that will be "caught up"....the church or the Jews?
Beloved by Christ, there is only one coming or appearing of Christ yet to occur. The noun, "Coming" is always singular when speaking of this event, OT (Mal 3:2), or NT (Mt 24:3, 27,37,39, 1Cor 15:23, 1Th 2:19, 3:13, 4:15, 5:23, 2Th 2:1, 2:3, James 5:7-8, 2Tim 2:1, 2Pet 1:16, 3:4, 1Jn 2:28). Moreover the noun "appearing" is also always singular, when referring to this event (2Th 2:8, 1Tim 6:14, 2Tim 1:10, 2:4:1,9, Titus 2:13). Read and trust your Bible, lest you become deceived by false Bible teachers who make a good living, tickling the ears of those with itching ears (2Tim 4:3), by teaching a " Pre-Tribulation" Rapture-Rescue. Any Rapture-timing theory that requires two comings is contradicted by the Bible, and hence, must be false. The truth is: "The living....will never precede the fallen-asleep [dead]" (1Th 4:15), particularly, those whom Jesus promised to resurrect within "The Last Day" (Jn 6:39-40,44,54). Hence, the Rapture of the living, must occur after the dead in Christ are raised (1Th 4:16), during the one and only "Resurrection of the Righteous" (Lk 14:14), at "The Last Trumpet" (1Cor 15:52), which Jesus called the "Great Trumpet" (Mt 24:31), which will be heard only after the sun and moon are darkened and the stars fall (Mt 24:29) during the "Last Day", elsewhere called "The Day of The LORD" (2Th 2:2) a day, like none other (Jer 30:7), a unique day, without light, except at even-time (Zech 14:6-7), when every eye will see Christ coming with (and upon) the clouds of heaven (Rev 1:7, Mt 24:30), shortly before the wicked are judged and destroyed, within the wine-press of the Wrath of God (Rev 19:15), shortly before the present heavens and earth will be burned-up with intense heat (2Pet 3:10-12), during a day like none other (Jer 30:7).
First. We will not be gods. As Mormons teach. We will be humans Second Mormons. Anyone really. Have some things correct Mixed in with a LOT of nonsense Having some things right Doesn’t mean they are in truth overall Far from it
The "Blessed Hope" (Titus 2:13) is not a "Pre-Tribulation" Rapture-Rescue (as many teach) Our Blessed Hope" is our resurrection with an imperishable body.
@@JESUSISLORDFOREVERMORE888Read your Bible more carefully. The "Orge" (Wrath) of God is NOT the "Thlipsis" (Tribulation). The Wrath of God (Rev 16) will fall from heaven like it did in the days of Noah and Lot (Lk 17:26-30), immediately after the "Righteous" have been safely protected from the wrath of God. The next time the Wrath of God falls from heaven, the "Righteous" will number many millions and their protection will be immortal bodies received at "The Last Trumpet" (1Cor 15:50-52), immediately after the one and only "Resurrection of the Justified" (Lk 14:14), which Jesus promised to accomplish within "The Last Day" (Jn 6:39-40,44,54).
@@JESUSISLORDFOREVERMORE888 1) Jesus promised tribulation (Jn16:33) 2) Tribulation is part of taking up ones cross and following Him (Mt 16:24-26), who faced His tribulations with obedience and faithfulness all the way from His birth, His 40 days of temptation, until His death. 3) A servant is not above His Master. If the wicked persecuted Jesus, the wicked will persecute the faithful, each one according to the will of God (Eph 1:11), within their generation. 4) God uses the suffering of persecution and tribulation, in order to develop endurance, and strength of character and enduring hope in His people (Rom 5:3-5). Suffering forces His people to realize what is really important, as it did for Job. 5) "The Great Tribulation" is mentioned several times in Scripture (Mt 15-22, Rev 7:9-15, Dan 12:1-3). Furthermore, an uncountable number of believers will die during this time (the 6th Trumpet) and be seen in heaven in white robes, and waving palm branches 6) God uses the tribulations of Daniel's "Last Seven Years" to purge the Church of all it blemishes and wrinkles, false doctrines, false teachers, and false prophets, so that the Bride can be presented to Christ, at His coming and our (Rapture)Gathering, during "The Day of the Lord" (2Th 2:1-2, 1Th 4:17-5:2), without spot or wrinkle, holy and blameless (Eph 5:27). 7) Jesus called "The Day of the Lord", "The Last Day" because it is the day when the present heavens and earth will be burned-up with intense heat (2Pet 3:10-12), the end of the age, shortly after the wicked and ungodly are destroyed (Is 13:6-15, Jer 46:10, Joel 1:15, 3:15-16) by the Wrath of God (Rev 16). 8) The Rapture is the harvest of the wheat (Mt 13:30), and will occur just before the harvest of the grapes (Rev 14:14-19) at the end of the age (Mt 13:39).
I am sorry but the woman in Rev 12:1-6 is the church. Revelation 12:1 "Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars." Theologians ignore the clue that identifies the woman and that is the moon under her feet. The moon is defined in Genesis 1:16: "Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also." The greater light that rules the Day represents God ruling the Kingdom of Light. The lesser light that rules the night represents satan as the Ruler of the Kingdom of Darkness. The moon reflecting the Sun's light represents satan imitation of God's works. The stars represent the angels. Revelation 12:3-4 "And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born." Revelation 12:9 "So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." The 1/3 of the stars that the dragon took with him are defined in v. 9 as the angels that rebelled with him. So we see that the moon, which represents satan, is under her feet. What does it mean to be under the feet? Joshua 10:24 So it was, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, “Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings.” And they drew near and put their feet on their necks." We see this in Joshua which is a reference to the act of military defeat of laying the enemy captives down and putting their foot on their necks. Romans 16:20 says that God is going to bring satan under our feet. Romans 16:20 "And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen." satan was not conquered until Jesus died and rose from the dead. At that time Jesus gave the believers/the Church power and authority to defeat the enemy satan. This is found in Luke 10:19: Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you." The Church today represents the Bride of Christ being prepared. Revelation 21:9-10 "Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God," The Church is not the New Jerusalem yet; but, she is in preparation to be Christ's Bride. The only woman that has satan under her feet is the Church. Neither Israel nor Mary in OT time under Moses' law and the Old Covenant had satan defeated and under her feet. Therefore, neither one could be the woman giving birth to the baby. Who is the baby? Theologians believe that because the baby will rule the nations that it must be Christ. Rev 2:27 "and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father." So, we see from Jesus' promise to the Thyatira church that the overcomers will rule and reign with Jesus. The baby is the overcomers that the church has been pregnant with for 2000 years. Jesus has two burdens and they are two core themes of Revelation besides judgement: 1. Salvation of souls. 2. The maturing of the saved. In the letters to the churches, Jesus rebukes them for sins that hold them back from maturing. At the end of each letter, He tells them what rewards wait for those that overcome. We can see from this how important the overcomers are to Jesus and that the overcomers are a core theme to the Book Gordon Tippett Missionary Kyoto, Japan
10 years ago and some have dies and the rest are still waiting. I wonder how many will lose hope. Matthew 24:29-31 "Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days... will send his angels to gather the elect..." Those that do not believe these words of Jesus will not go in the rapture. If you do not believe Jesus, you are not a Christian. Enough said.
Pastor SKIP HEITZIG, Why are you Being a Deceiver on Eschatology ?? As 1.Thess.4:15, declares that; ..."We that are Alive and Remain, Shall Not 'PRECEDE' those who are ASLEEP !!" ( the "DEAD IN CHRIST", who will "RISE FIRST", verse 16 ) Then in verse 17, we are told, that; ..." We the Living, the ones SURVIVING" ( the Tribulation, as per the Greek Text ) "Will be CAUGHT-UP Together with THEM". ( these "DEAD In CHRIST" that will "RISE FIRST" ) And the Apostle PAUL, in 1.Cor.15:50-52, tells us that; "No RESURRECTION and Subsequent Rapture" is Possible for us "Flesh and Blood" humans, Until we get to that ONE-TIME EVENT, in which we will be "CHANGED" from Mortality to that of Immortality !! As The Apostle PAUL Said, that we "Flesh and Blood" LIVING Human beings, "CANNOT INHERIT the Kingdom of GOD" !! ( 1.Cor.15:50 ) And This "CHANGE", ( verse 51-52 ) Cannot HAPPEN, until we get to the VERY END of the TRIBULATION, As this "ONE-TIME EVENT" of "Being CHANGED", WILL Have to INCLUDE EVERY Possible SAINT !! That means that ALL The "Tribulation MARTYRS" 'Must be INCLUDED' in this "CHANGE", from MORTALITY To that of IMMORTALITY, which then determines an End of Tribulation Time-Line for All the "Martyrs" to be Included !! So SKIP HEITZIG, How come you Continue to preach this LIE, of a "Pre-Trib" RAPTURE ?? Or is your Brain just not Not Functioning anymore ?? Please respond !!! Morgan Sorensen (Biblical Theologian )
Watch the video. He clearly gives the various views and arguments for them. He also mentioned in previous video about how the Jews had a concrete view of end times and stuck to it to their own doom. They weren't open to the chance they could be wrong. Heitzig has said that he could be wrong. By extension so could you, don't let your pride doom you with the chance you could be wrong.
With a television you don't have to be supernatural. God prefer that because it's more social but we have to use it correctly. Right now we have anarchy blindness. Despite the anarchy blindness I figured it out. That proves we can be God like. Only a person getting crucified would suspect something greater. They crucified me with exact same disease that in Pink Floyd the wall. Victor said it's all good. It should be possible to make everything all good.(^^)
"The Day of the LORD", the day of the Lord's coming (2Th 2:1-2) will not occur unless the apostasy occurs first and the Man of "Lawlessness/Sin is revealed (2Th 2:3). Moreover, the sun and moon must be darkened first (Act 2:20). Accordingly, the day of The Lord''s coming is neither imminent, nor "Pre-Tribulation", as many (including Skip) have been falsely teaching and deceiving millions of trusting listeners.
The demon in sunshine movie is Jesus. It's not reality but people's perceptions. The churches have failed Jesus. Fighting over the star makes more sense than the horrible prophecy fighting over who knows what.:-$
Revelation 20 states that the dead that rise 1st will be the martyrs that didn't take the mark of the beast. It's states when that eill be, when the dragon is chained and locked into the abyss. And it states that The Rest Of the Dead won't come back until after the thousand years reign.

I use this scripture to comfort patients families who are believers losing a loved one and for patients who have terminal illness and are frightened. Their faces light up and a smile comes onto their faces. Sometimes the Holy Spirit leads me to ask them if they want to pray or have me pray with them. It’s a beautiful thing. Jesus Christ comforts us. God is the Father of all comfort. Because I have experienced a lot of loss, I am even more empathetic to the family that are losing their loved ones.
9/11/2024: Amen!! Me too. Especially one Samoan patient I have. I call her “Rapture Ready”. She is in her later 80’s and her face just lights up when I tell her that one day she will hear that “holy blow” 🎺🎺🎺and see JESUS 🎺. She smiles from ear to ear whenever I talk about the Rapture. One day I said that to her and she started singing, “I’m going to run, run, run to my JESUS when I see HIM”. She is such a witness to me even though she is wheelchair bound, blind, and on dialysis…such a godly woman. Comfort one another with these words writes Paul……and truly “these words” are comforting indeed. Have a BLESSED DAY & Maranatha from Hawaii🌺🌴🌴. Come quickly, LORD JESUS 😢🎺🎺🎺
Thank you Pastor Skip!! I use to be a part of SDA growing up, my family left that all behind and I had to search the word of God myself to find the truth of the pre trib rapture 😊 so thankful. Unfortunately the church I now go to is studying the book of revelation and I was shocked that my Pastor is teaching that there is no rapture or post trib..
my heart sank… all the things you said about those who believe the rapture is a new idea 💡 s what is being taught. Nothing being taking literal in the book of revelation.
I love my church and my Pastor, but so thankful there are those who teach the truth of God’s word like you and Jack Hibbs and Amir Tsarfati 😊
Thank you so very much
God bless you richly for teaching

For I know that my Redeemer lives , and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my body is decayed, yet in my flesh shall I see GOD. Job 19: 24 - 25
Cannot wait for that glorious day when we are caught up in the twinkling of an eye. Can you imagine the praise and worship around the throne right now with all of our relatives who have gone on before us? The Lord gave me a vision recently and I don't know why; maybe I was wondering. He showed me that I was lying down, my eyes were closed. But another "me" rose up from that body. It looked like the me that was lying down. So my spirit was leaving my body in this vision, yet I looked the same. Hopefully, the Lord will change this new "look" quickly! I'd rather look a bit better.
Hurry Wake Up King Skippy 🤴 It Time to go back home to The Kingdom of God It here 🙌 🙏 😊❤

Thank you Pastor Skip.
I used to go to a church that didn’t believe in the Rapture and didn’t believe that when we die, our souls are returned to Jesus.
When you said you loved an ole' song my mind immediately went to "When the Role is Called Up Yonder I'll be There."
.... pray, fast, read your Bible, and you will become close to the Lord Jesus Christ. If you commit a sin confess
it to the Lord and he will forgive you.
Trust in him with all your heart, and may
GOD richly bless you my beloved.
We will be changed ! Job 33: 25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
Appreciate the thorough teaching of RAPTURE. Multitudes unaware of this long sought for /looked for EVENT by ANCIENTS.
You don't want to be here Jesus said if they hated me they will hate you also pick up your cross and follow me.What did I just say it is appointed that everyone die once . This is the truth the word of God is the truth if you live your life for Yeshua Jesus don't worry when you see him face to face you will be as he is Amen
“I pray *not* that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest *keep* them from the evil.”
{John 17:15}
“Remember the word that I said unto you, *The servant is not greater than his lord* If they have persecuted me, *they will also persecute you* if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.”
“But all these things *will they do unto you for my name's sake* because they know not him that sent me.”
{John 15:20-21}
And they [the Apostles] departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
{Acts 5:41}
If you're attempting to deny or argue with this exposition with these scripture quotes - do you realize that all of those quotes dealt directly with those living apostles at the time - directly - they themselves all suffered persecution as promised? All of those were fulfilled literally. Christians have also been "persecuted" every single day since the first century - up until this moment. So you have no point really. Persecutions happened - persecutions are ongoing - persecutions will continue - none of that has anything to do with what was just preached - unless you have a hard heart & some sadomasochist belief - thinking you're only worthy of His sacrifice if you, yourself & the whole church in the future suffers persecution? That's pretty twisted my friend, I feel sorry for you. I'll pray that God softens your heart.
@@mudman619
Not one of the persecuted Christians have ever been raptured away.
What makes you presume to think that the Lukewarm Christians of today will be any different?
Your assumptions are vain.
And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God.

NOT ONE OF THE PERSECUTED HAS RAPTURED? THE RAPTURE AND RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD HASNT HAPPENED YET, MY FRIEND!
@@Leokat334
Never said they have.
Do not love your life or anyone more than Jesus Christ and do not fear death or man but only fear the God who has the power to kill body and condemn the soul. Be rapture ready everyday and be prepared to die for your faith. We were never promised no persecution. Saints have been and are being persecuted for their faith today. This will only increase as the days go by.
Amen
So many šelf- appointed speakers and their own thoughts,conjectures and interpretations.
While I love listening to your teachings, it seems the last couple of podcasts have been very difficult to hear. I find myself holding my iPhone up to my ear as I’m listening in the car. 🤷🏼♀️
Skip, I love your sermons. I don't think that Paul believed that the rapture would happen in his day. The apostles were the last appointed onto death. Also, Peter was told that in his old age, he would be led where he would not want to go. Finally, all the technology that the Antichrist would need to control the world wouldn't be around for thousands of years into the future. When Paul said "we brethern," maybe he meant Christians corporate and not those alive at that time.
When . See Matt 24 v 29 --30

Matthew 24:29-3O Jesus said: Immediately AFTER the tribulation shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
It's sad that varying views of the rapture divides the church. It is not a salvation issue so it shouldn't cause such drama and divisiveness.
Beloved of Christ, when the Bible uses "us" and "we' it is referring to His "Elect", those chosen from before the foundation of the world (Eph 1:4) and given to the Son (Jn 6:39), with their names written into the "Lamb's Book of Life" from the foundation of the world (Rev 13:8, 17:8).
While all the Elect are believers, not all believers will be saved (Mt 7:21-23). Furthermore, only the "Elect" are born from above (Jn 3:3), and given eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to understand (Is 6:10, Jer 5:21, Mt 13:15). Moreover, only "His Elect" will be gathered from out of the extremities of heaven and earth with a "Great Trumpet" (Mt 24:31), during "The Last Day" (Jn 6:39-40,44-54), after the sun and moon have been darkened and the stars fall (Mt 24:29).
Skippy has been watching to many Kirk Cameron movies.
He's not quoting Kirk Cameron. He's quoting past preachers
As an ex jw I’ll correct the pastor here
As far as JWS anyway , they dont think the souls is asleep and the body dead
Because they say the Bible does not teach that we HAVE. Soul at all
We ARE a soul. NO such thing as a separate spiritual part that exists separate from the body
Basically. You simply do t exist anymore
Man’s rhe resurrection would then be , somehow, God re creating you
Kinda like a clone of the old you. He remembers and preserves you in memory only
Then. Raises the person
I tend to disagree
But that’s their view
Just a little info
WHEN IS THE RAPTURE / RESURRECTION?
In Revelation 20:4-6 the last book of the Bible there are only 2 more FUTURE Resurrections (Raptures) spoken of: (after the 2 witnesses appear)
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the FIRST RESURRECTION. or rapture
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the FIRST RESURRECTION: on such the SECOND DEATH hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
In the above scriptures, these are the Martyrs. John said "this is the first resurrection." John didn't say this is the "second phase of the first resurrection," as pre-tribbers claim.
If this is the FIRST resurrection, can there be a resurrection before this one? Of course not, unless you want to ADD to the bible which is forbidden!
The First Resurrection is of the dead in Christ and the Second is after 1000 years. Paul wrote that the Dead in Christ MUST rise FIRST, THEN we who are alive and remain will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
16 ...and the dead in Christ shall RISE FIRST
17 THEN we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them...
In Rev. 20:4-5, John sees the souls of Saints who were BEHEADED for refusing the Mark of the Beast during the Great Tribulation. John writes that they will rise and reign with Christ for 1000 years and that this is the FIRST RESURRECTION!
If according to John, the beheaded rise in the FIRST resurrection and Paul said those who are alive and remain are not caught up until AFTER the dead in Christ are resurrected, then this means the catching up or rapture takes place AFTER tribulation!
Now compare the above with 1 CORINTHIANS 15:20-23:
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of those who slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; AFTERWARDS THOSE WHO ARE CHRIST'S AT HIS COMING.
Notice only one resurrection of the dead in Christ is mentioned here! Which, according to Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 must take place BEFORE we who are alive and remain are "caught up" with them!
When did Jesus say the dead in Christ would be resurrected?
John 6:39-40: Jesus said, "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up ON THE LAST DAY.
John 6:44: Jesus said, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up ON THE LAST DAY."
Is the LAST DAY the thousand year reign of Christ?
I believe so....then it is eternity and time is counted no more
So if Jesus himself said the dead in Christ will be raised on the LAST DAY, and Paul said we who are alive and remain will not be caught up (raptured) until AFTER the dead are raised, then where does secret pre-trib rapture fit in?
Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:52 - In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMP last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
We are changed at the LAST TRUMP and where is this found?
In REVELATION, the LAST BOOK of the Bible there are 7 trumps and the 7th trump is the LAST ONE and is at the END end of the tribulation. there is not a 7th last trump prior to the tribulation.
The next event on the prophetic time clock is the rapture coming soon to a neighborhood near you. Look up for your redemption draweth nigh
All those asleep are in the grave. Cant have it both ways. Lazarus heard His voice say come forth, not come down. Why is it so hard to accept that we rest in peace, in our graves until the Lord comes for us? The dead in Christ will rise 1st. That means they're not in heaven yet. Noone has put on in corruption not have been changed yet. Double talk. He went to heaven in his earthly body the same as us. Only a handful met with the Lord in heaven. Where are they staying if he,s preparing a place in His father's house & will then return for us. It makes no sense.
👑Ezekiel 3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

👑Isa 66:8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment? For as soon as Zion was in LABOR she brought forth her children. (MAY 14, 1948 Israel becomes a nation again.) After 2700 yrs, it is once again a nation.

1948 + 70 = 2018

===========================
BEFORE Jesus returns at the 7th trumpet we will have great tribulation.
Jesus, himself had great tribulation for 3.5 years which ended on the cross.
When the son of perdition makes himself known we will have great tribulation for 3.5 yrs.
👉👑Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
TIME SHORTENED
👑Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
👑Rev 9:5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
👑Rev 9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
👑Revelation 9:4-6 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have NOT the seal of God in their foreheads.
I'm sure this fellow is a very nice man. At no time in his presentation does he mention the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When the disciples came to Jesus and asked him about the end times the very first thing he says to them is, do not be deceived. Jesus also says, those that endure till the end will be saved. Read and study the gospel and don't be deceived by charlatans that twist the words of the Apostles. The word rapture is not in the Bible. The word rapture is derived from Latin when the original text was in Greek. Jesus comes one time and that is Judgement Day
For those that believe there will be a pretribulation rapture a question: In 1 Thessalonians 4 who is Paul talking to that will be "caught up"....the church or the Jews?
Beloved by Christ, there is only one coming or appearing of Christ yet to occur. The noun, "Coming" is always singular when speaking of this event, OT (Mal 3:2), or NT (Mt 24:3, 27,37,39, 1Cor 15:23, 1Th 2:19, 3:13, 4:15, 5:23, 2Th 2:1, 2:3, James 5:7-8, 2Tim 2:1, 2Pet 1:16, 3:4, 1Jn 2:28). Moreover the noun "appearing" is also always singular, when referring to this event (2Th 2:8, 1Tim 6:14, 2Tim 1:10, 2:4:1,9, Titus 2:13).
Read and trust your Bible, lest you become deceived by false Bible teachers who make a good living, tickling the ears of those with itching ears (2Tim 4:3), by teaching a " Pre-Tribulation" Rapture-Rescue.
Any Rapture-timing theory that requires two comings is contradicted by the Bible, and hence, must be false.
The truth is: "The living....will never precede the fallen-asleep [dead]" (1Th 4:15), particularly, those whom Jesus promised to resurrect within "The Last Day" (Jn 6:39-40,44,54). Hence, the Rapture of the living, must occur after the dead in Christ are raised (1Th 4:16), during the one and only "Resurrection of the Righteous" (Lk 14:14), at "The Last Trumpet" (1Cor 15:52), which Jesus called the "Great Trumpet" (Mt 24:31), which will be heard only after the sun and moon are darkened and the stars fall (Mt 24:29) during the "Last Day", elsewhere called "The Day of The LORD" (2Th 2:2) a day, like none other (Jer 30:7), a unique day, without light, except at even-time (Zech 14:6-7), when every eye will see Christ coming with (and upon) the clouds of heaven (Rev 1:7, Mt 24:30), shortly before the wicked are judged and destroyed, within the wine-press of the Wrath of God (Rev 19:15), shortly before the present heavens and earth will be burned-up with intense heat (2Pet 3:10-12), during a day like none other (Jer 30:7).
So we have perfect uncorruptable bodies, we live forever and we have powers so we are basically gods just like the Mormons say. Hmm
First.
We will not be gods. As Mormons teach.
We will be humans
Second

@@nomadicrecovery1586 @ sorry but you're just wrong. To bad you have to wait to find out you're arguing over semantics
@@nomadicrecovery1586 you say we will be humans so you admit we will have children in heaven.
The "Blessed Hope" (Titus 2:13) is not a "Pre-Tribulation" Rapture-Rescue (as many teach) Our Blessed Hope" is our resurrection with an imperishable body.
9/11/2024: The forgiven true body of CHRIST (HOLY SPIRIT filled) will NOT go through the Tribulation period. Romans 5:9, I Thess 5:9.
What is the purpose of the church going thru the tribulation and why there is no mention of it in scripture?
@@JESUSISLORDFOREVERMORE888Read your Bible more carefully. The "Orge" (Wrath) of God is NOT the "Thlipsis" (Tribulation). The Wrath of God (Rev 16) will fall from heaven like it did in the days of Noah and Lot (Lk 17:26-30), immediately after the "Righteous" have been safely protected from the wrath of God.
The next time the Wrath of God falls from heaven, the "Righteous" will number many millions and their protection will be immortal bodies received at "The Last Trumpet" (1Cor 15:50-52), immediately after the one and only "Resurrection of the Justified" (Lk 14:14), which Jesus promised to accomplish within "The Last Day" (Jn 6:39-40,44,54).
@@JESUSISLORDFOREVERMORE888 1) Jesus promised tribulation (Jn16:33)
2) Tribulation is part of taking up ones cross and following Him (Mt 16:24-26), who faced His tribulations with obedience and faithfulness all the way from His birth, His 40 days of temptation, until His death.
3) A servant is not above His Master. If the wicked persecuted Jesus, the wicked will persecute the faithful, each one according to the will of God (Eph 1:11), within their generation.
4) God uses the suffering of persecution and tribulation, in order to develop endurance, and strength of character and enduring hope in His people (Rom 5:3-5). Suffering forces His people to realize what is really important, as it did for Job.
5) "The Great Tribulation" is mentioned several times in Scripture (Mt 15-22, Rev 7:9-15, Dan 12:1-3). Furthermore, an uncountable number of believers will die during this time (the 6th Trumpet) and be seen in heaven in white robes, and waving palm branches
6) God uses the tribulations of Daniel's "Last Seven Years" to purge the Church of all it blemishes and wrinkles, false doctrines, false teachers, and false prophets, so that the Bride can be presented to Christ, at His coming and our (Rapture)Gathering, during "The Day of the Lord" (2Th 2:1-2, 1Th 4:17-5:2), without spot or wrinkle, holy and blameless (Eph 5:27).
7) Jesus called "The Day of the Lord", "The Last Day" because it is the day when the present heavens and earth will be burned-up with intense heat (2Pet 3:10-12), the end of the age, shortly after the wicked and ungodly are destroyed (Is 13:6-15, Jer 46:10, Joel 1:15, 3:15-16) by the Wrath of God (Rev 16).
8) The Rapture is the harvest of the wheat (Mt 13:30), and will occur just before the harvest of the grapes (Rev 14:14-19) at the end of the age (Mt 13:39).
Hey Skipper, can I have your millions when you are raptured?
I am sorry but the woman in Rev 12:1-6 is the church.
Revelation 12:1
"Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars."
Theologians ignore the clue that identifies the woman and that is the moon under her feet. The moon is defined in Genesis 1:16:
"Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also."
The greater light that rules the Day represents God ruling the Kingdom of Light. The lesser light that rules the night represents satan as the Ruler of the Kingdom of Darkness. The moon reflecting the Sun's light represents satan imitation of God's works. The stars represent the angels.
Revelation 12:3-4
"And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born."
Revelation 12:9
"So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
The 1/3 of the stars that the dragon took with him are defined in v. 9 as the angels that rebelled with him.
So we see that the moon, which represents satan, is under her feet.
What does it mean to be under the feet?
Joshua 10:24
So it was, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, “Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings.” And they drew near and put their feet on their necks."
We see this in Joshua which is a reference to the act of military defeat of laying the enemy captives down and putting their foot on their necks.
Romans 16:20 says that God is going to bring satan under our feet.
Romans 16:20
"And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen."
satan was not conquered until Jesus died and rose from the dead. At that time Jesus gave the believers/the Church power and authority to defeat the enemy satan.
This is found in Luke 10:19:
Luke 10:19
"Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
The Church today represents the Bride of Christ being prepared.
Revelation 21:9-10
"Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,"
The Church is not the New Jerusalem yet; but, she is in preparation to be Christ's Bride.
The only woman that has satan under her feet is the Church.
Neither Israel nor Mary in OT time under Moses' law and the Old Covenant had satan defeated and under her feet.
Therefore, neither one could be the woman giving birth to the baby.
Who is the baby?
Theologians believe that because the baby will rule the nations that it must be Christ.
Rev 2:27
"and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father."
So, we see from Jesus' promise to the Thyatira church that the overcomers will rule and reign with Jesus.
The baby is the overcomers that the church has been pregnant with for 2000 years.
Jesus has two burdens and they are two core themes of Revelation besides judgement:
1. Salvation of souls.
2. The maturing of the saved. In the letters to the churches, Jesus rebukes them for sins that hold them back from maturing.
At the end of each letter, He tells them what rewards wait for those that overcome. We can see from this how important the overcomers are to Jesus and that the overcomers are a core theme to the Book

10 years ago and some have dies and the rest are still waiting. I wonder how many will lose hope.
Matthew 24:29-31
"Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days... will send his angels to gather the elect..."
Those that do not believe these words of Jesus will not go in the rapture. If you do not believe Jesus, you are not a Christian.
Enough said.
Pastor SKIP HEITZIG, Why are you Being a Deceiver on Eschatology ?? As 1.Thess.4:15, declares that; ..."We that are Alive and Remain, Shall Not 'PRECEDE' those who are ASLEEP !!" ( the "DEAD IN CHRIST", who will "RISE FIRST", verse 16 )
Then in verse 17, we are told, that; ..." We the Living, the ones SURVIVING" ( the Tribulation, as per the Greek Text ) "Will be CAUGHT-UP Together with THEM". ( these "DEAD In CHRIST" that will "RISE FIRST" )
And the Apostle PAUL, in 1.Cor.15:50-52, tells us that; "No RESURRECTION and Subsequent Rapture" is Possible for us "Flesh and Blood" humans, Until we get to that ONE-TIME EVENT, in which we will be "CHANGED" from Mortality to that of Immortality !!
As The Apostle PAUL Said, that we "Flesh and Blood" LIVING Human beings, "CANNOT INHERIT the Kingdom of GOD" !! ( 1.Cor.15:50 )
And This "CHANGE", ( verse 51-52 ) Cannot HAPPEN, until we get to the VERY END of the TRIBULATION, As this "ONE-TIME EVENT" of "Being CHANGED", WILL Have to INCLUDE EVERY Possible SAINT !!
That means that ALL The "Tribulation MARTYRS" 'Must be INCLUDED' in this "CHANGE", from MORTALITY To that of IMMORTALITY, which then determines an End of Tribulation Time-Line for All the "Martyrs" to be Included !!
So SKIP HEITZIG, How come you Continue to preach this LIE, of a "Pre-Trib" RAPTURE ?? Or is your Brain just not Not Functioning anymore ?? Please respond !!!

Watch the video. He clearly gives the various views and arguments for them. He also mentioned in previous video about how the Jews had a concrete view of end times and stuck to it to their own doom. They weren't open to the chance they could be wrong. Heitzig has said that he could be wrong. By extension so could you, don't let your pride doom you with the chance you could be wrong.
With a television you don't have to be supernatural. God prefer that because it's more social but we have to use it correctly. Right now we have anarchy blindness. Despite the anarchy blindness I figured it out. That proves we can be God like. Only a person getting crucified would suspect something greater. They crucified me with exact same disease that in Pink Floyd the wall. Victor said it's all good. It should be possible to make everything all good.(^^)
"The Day of the LORD", the day of the Lord's coming (2Th 2:1-2) will not occur unless the apostasy occurs first and the Man of "Lawlessness/Sin is revealed (2Th 2:3). Moreover, the sun and moon must be darkened first (Act 2:20).
Accordingly, the day of The Lord''s coming is neither imminent, nor "Pre-Tribulation", as many (including Skip) have been falsely teaching and deceiving millions of trusting listeners.
The demon in sunshine movie is Jesus. It's not reality but people's perceptions. The churches have failed Jesus. Fighting over the star makes more sense than the horrible prophecy fighting over who knows what.:-$
SO SO S O. SOOOO SOOO WRONG ( 2 COMMMMMMMINGS OF CHRIST .
HOW ABOUT 2 RESURRECTION S ?? 😮
Just retire ok
Revelation 20 states that the dead that rise 1st will be the martyrs that didn't take the mark of the beast. It's states when that eill be, when the dragon is chained and locked into the abyss. And it states that The Rest Of the Dead won't come back until after the thousand years reign.
