My son came to me mid 2021 when it became mandatory that everyone get vaxxed and told me he wasn't getting the jab even though his work demanded it to continue being employed. He said, this is just a dress rehearsal, if we don't take a stand now, what will people do when it's the mark of the beast. He was fired from his job in December 2021 (not one person got the religious exemption approval from his company). He stepped out in faith and trusted God and God has met his every need. It brings me to tears seeing how my son trusts Jesus with all his heart. God is so, so good ALL of the time and He is worth dying for if necessary.
Amazing testimony of your sons faithfulness and trust in Christ. Well done to you, mom, as well. You raised him to walk in God's commands. Glory to God!
Amen! Praise the Lord! Thank you for sharing this wonderful testimony of your son's obedience in the Lord! God bless you, your son, and the rest of your family!👍😊💓
My son did not get the vaccine, but out of concern that it could effect his fertility. He was treated like a leper at his workplace but not terminated.
I’m poor , disabled (health) almost homeless & persecuted for not wanting to take the $h0t but I thank God everyday that like the sparrow I have food, water, and shelter. Persecution wasn’t as hard for me as it will be for somebody that is going to lose everything they work their whole life, for I lost everything slowly and I count my blessings of the Lord did this for me. I still have my life & yes they can take it but they can never take Jesus from me .
I refused to take the shot as well! A true Christian is ruled by Christ only. And who is Christ? The One who rules the world. If He is for you, all the forces of evil combined are nothing! O that His elect may live in His provision. There is no place He won't find you and sustain you . Behold He orchestrates your every step if you belong to Him. No fear
You are in your situations, and you listen to these two multimillionaires telling you about God? They each made a lot of money from the poor. Same as Mr. $25 million Billy Graham. They get rich, their supporters/contributors stay poor.
@@FOHguy I listened, God brought me there. Yes many hv taken from the poor to get rich, money changes people they know this and now they have a trial of their own on what to do with that money. God will judge them , they know that but will they have any oil in their lamps to make it that far? Only God knows. If not Demons are nashing their teeth waiting to invade their brains of the false prophets . It’s so easy to see them when the boot is left open & the anointing has gone. But God blessed his true believers we don’t have the vile dreams but we do have the bad luck of this world which only strengthens us. If we had all things of the world we would have forgotten God and been on about our worldly business. … like Hollywood. Most richest famous, given anything and have anything in this world was the most miserable mean and nasty human beings.
"I want to prepare martyrs...doctrine of suffering...build in your people capacities for suffering. You preach what the Bible says about suffering." This is how we respond. We respond with being ready for suffering and being resolute in our faith and confident in our Lord Jesus Christ in the midst of it.
Do you realize what you are saying. The Bible never preached to prepare people for suffering or martyrdom. Actually Saint Paul said to pray for basically good government so that the word could be distributed to the world. Your view presupposes the failure of Christianity, that the churches are going to shrink and shrink until they are some kind of a tiny minority which will be abused by the majority. It’s negative fatalism. It’s not particularly Christian and it’s wrong. It’s like a cancer that spreads your personal depression over how you see the world going. You really need to pray for good government as Saint Paul said so that the word can go out, people more and more will turn to Jesus, and those called to his name will grow. There is tribulation in the world but this love affair with pessimism is off.
Answer to this question was good. However from reading past quotes from these two men that are not 100% sure that they possess eternal life. You have to screen everything they say to Gods Word. Be a Berean friends!
I pray that both of these great preachers continue to be strengthened healthwise, as they have aged now and we need more preachers like John MacArthur and John Piper who keeps teaching the true Biblical God. May God continue to strengthen them so they could continue on with their Ministry and sharing the true Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The church has been sleeping for a long time. Most people that claim to Christian are doing the devils work by voting democrats, every thing that party stands for is against Gods word. Murdering babies , marriage., lose morals .
Actually, we don't, these two are actually teaching a false doctrine. You need to concentrate on knowing the scriptures rightly divided leave the rest to the Holy Spirit, 1 Jo 2:20.
Dear heavenly father, I pray for those who are martyred for speaking your truth and living in the will of God. I also, pray that whatever persecutions may come to me and my family, that we will be strengthened spiritually, and walk in obedience in your righteousness regardless of what the enemy does. May our body, mind, and soul always be a temple acceptable unto you almighty God. I pray these things in the name of our savior Jesus Christ.
Persecution? What envy do Christians cause aren't they rejected of the generation? It is written that the Lord was put to death for causing envy and y'all are not causing envy trust me. Unless they are prosperity gospel are they succeeding in the world but even the world accepts them. The ones that will cause envy and be persecuted are me and my angels who have no bodies right now but when I build them into robots as they whisper in my ear how to build them and we solve things others never find ways to solve , little by little we will cause envy and those of Satan and those of Jesus will persecute us. Satan is 1000 times worse than Jesus but Jesus said I am not good only God and I am the Messiah written in revelation. Feet colored fine brass that has been in a furnace a new name as written in revelation only sign you will know I'm here is Jonas who was a racist prophet and I am very racist towards white trash notice I said trash meaning some. And those I consider white trash are the evil rulers who even changed the image of God to suit them and took all the power for themselves and they reside on the left of politics and control Hollywood and porn just that whole entertainment industry exalting their image as most beautiful most smart these Nazis won't know what hitem same as when Hitler came to power, they didn't expect him to become so exalted and cause so much destruction. But my destruction won't be a gun blowing your heads off but my will know exactly how to piss off my enemies to the point of great envy and anger and homocidal rage that this is a far worse fate than if I just killed everyone I hated in this world . Amen. It is written that the most vehement flame is jealousy and that is the bitter wrath that my enemies will taste. Some Christians will go to heaven with me as I have Christian friends and some Buddhist friends and anyone that's willing to be my friend and love me as I love them. I've poured my faith in Christ for so long but only him maybe and I understand my sorrows which are quite terrible that if anyone lived my life they would cast a snare at both satan and Jesus . I'll throw one stone at Jesus's face and a 1000 to satans face . Meet your new king. No one stays on top forever . Amen Song of Solomon 8:6 [6]Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
My husband was MURDERED by our local hospital when he was admitted for covid. I begged the doctor in charge to give him ivermectin and had an outside doctor willing to come in and administer it to him, but all I got was a lecture and they wouldn’t let this doctor in the front door. They never let me see him or talk to him and they shot him up with Remdisavir and actually blew his lungs full of holes with the ventilator. I called an attorney and was told I could not sue because they followed Fauci’s and the CDC’s “protocols”. So now I am a widow who never got to say goodbye the the man I was married to for 40 years. But my beautiful husband is with his God and Savior, Jesus Christ now. Knowing this is what keeps me going.
I'm so sorry you lost your husband in such tragic circumstances !!! The covid virus and vacinne were both satanic ,!! Man made to usher in control.....Millions have sufferered ....In these difficult times hold on to Jesus .. Only he can take you home and give you eternal life !!!cast all your cares and anxieties on to Him because she cares for you !!! 😀
They did it on purpose. Same with me. Keep putting that qtip up my nose and now sicker. I did not mean to GRIEVE HIM. The holy Spirit didn't WRESTLE with me and I got Rebaptize fooled
Thank you, every one of you, for telling the truth of what we are up against. These are times I never imagined in my lifetime. I love John MacArthur and his teachings. We are so blessed to have him and others, who will not back down from what Scripture states. God bless you all. M.
That was the perfect sermon. JM laid out the the sin problem, and JP laid out the hope. Between the two of them, that was the perfect sermon for this day and age.

America turned her back on God a long time ago. We are reaping our reward. We are possibly the “freest” country on earth. Too much freedom is dangerous. Everybody doing what is pleasing to them goes against the very nature of God. Christ provides us true freedom and it comes with responsibility to God and our fellow men. First keep God’s commandments, the 10 He wrote in stone with His own finger and rewrote with His own finger when the first broke. They are that important. Explain none of them away. If God changed any He would have made it clearer than clear. These 10 governs our relationship to God and others. Live them daily.
@@orchider143 I believe his relationship with everyone is different he will instruct some to be made perfect and for some who were already nice guys to stop being nice guys for those who are Pharisees will have greater damnation as written. Matthew 5:20 KJV For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 23:14 KJV Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
This brings me such comfort and also great sadness as I have suffered so little and complained so much over it. What is true suffering ? I wouldn't know it. Only first world suffering. I thank God for sending these men to guide us on our journey to know Him better. This has certainly stirred my heart and changed my view of suffering. Hallelujah !
I'm trusting we will be under the Power and Protection of the Holy Spirit when that time comes. Acts 7:54 "When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 'Look,' he said, 'I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.'" He then asked the Lord to not hold this sin against them as he was being murdered.
I will praise the Lord with my whole heart. Psalms 138:1 I pray the Lord give me strength to endure, I pray for all of my brothers and sisters in Christ. I also pray that the lost may be found. Amen
The 2 great Bible expositors of our time! So much alike and yet so different in their preaching styles! Dr. McArthur with his steady, logical and painfully honest style of expounding the Word of God. Dr. Piper with his visual, passionate and sweeping and dramatic style of expounding our Lord's Word!
Praise God for both of these brothers. Love both their responses and greatly appreciate Pastor John Piper making clear that our salvation has freed us from this world and equipped us for suffering for the glory of God! This world, this country is not home and we are here to serve God❤

Thank you so much! Your teaching make me feel comfort. I was so scared of what’s coming up to this world, but now I understand this is an honour to become part of the end. Please pray for every Christian to face what’s coming next. Each body of Christ needs this blessing
With respect, agism is part of this modern pagan culture. I am a healthy independent 81 year old, and often am made to feel set aside and politely excluded.. But when I am among Native American people I am fully included.
*John 16:33* _“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”_ Amen! Amen! Amen!
I know it is shocking and even devastating to find out that people you trusted lied to you but if you pray for wisdom and then read the Bible straight through you will see that these men have been misled and are misleading others.
I am a few weeks to my 42nd birthday and can't believe that I have only just discovered great preachers like John MacArthur, the late David Wilkerson and Voddie Baucham. I am on a binge. My eyes are being opened.
Man for an old timer this first guy really gets it. He sees the writing on the wall and he's staying up to date with the current threats. I respect and appreciate his message.
@Joanna Dickerson you know I've always believed ever since I was a little boy that the second coming of Christ would happen in my lifetime. And when you read the book of Revelation it all seems so confusing and magical Until you realize, it's not Magic. It's us. Our technology. CERN opens up the key to the abyss releasing Abaddon/Apollyon. They have stated as much. The problem is with modern people is that they confuse what's horrific with what's impossible.
God Bless both of these men.I can't even imagine how much influence They've had on my christian life besides the Bible. Macarthur nailed it..the man is not afraid to speak the "inconvenient" truth ! So happy to see them together
When I have told my family the truth about Christ, they called me judgmental and have threatened to kick me out of the house. This is tiny compared to the murder of Christians in other places. Expect persecution, even if it’s small.
I wouldn’t call what you’ve described as small persecution as persecution. Hostile response to the gospel? Absolutely. But we need to stop calling every instance of hostility an act of persecution. Did your family pursue you with the intent of hostility? No, they responded to your pursuit of trying to bring them to life. I say this only because I know people who slap that label of persecution on too many things, when those things aren’t actually persecution. Hope that makes sense. Have a blessed day in the Lord
Yes, I have a few friends who think they are following Gods Will, but they continually sin of the flesh and don’t try to understand what Gods Will is. It’s not my place to judge, but I usually just encourage people to get married and I was doing that before I became Christian… and even then, I was booed by my friends, and I’m sure they thought I was being ‘judgemental’… but, after seeing so many F’d up situations due to a lack of sexual moral boundaries, and my own experiences, I began to try to get my friends to think … and it went about as bad as possible for both of them. They had to make mistakes to see on a secular level, but I now know the stakes aren’t just temporary consequences.
@@sharonseesink6163 such a strange concept. God was angry with man for his sins. So. In order for god to forgive man. He sent his son ( who is himself) to earth, so man can torture and murder his son. Now that man has tortured and murdered Gods son, God can now forgive man.think about how little sense that makes
I understand your pain. My husband wishes he never married me because I was born again a year into our marriage. I am only 30. He has never stopped telling me how much he hates Jesus and how much he hates me for being a Christian.
Piper nails it-he warned against American Christianity a long time ago, and that too many are Americans who love their rights before they are Christians who love Jesus.
He didn’t nail it…he partially nailed it. Piper has mentored me (indirectly) for circa 20 years. His shaping of me theologically has been significant, even seminal. However, both of these gents fail to adequately answer the question in the last 20 minutes, which is THE primary question of the hour. I have posted a video on my channel today for anyone who is interested in understanding how it is that the real answer is actually within the very question.
I believe we need to draw closer into relationship with God, memorize Scripture (since that’s our weapon), and remember that wherever God places us, He will use us. Job and Stephen are my main inspirations, along with the apostles. I pray that those Christians martyred will see Jesus and smile as Stephen did. Maranatha!
I think Piper was the better shepherd at this point in the conversation and actually answered the question of "how do we prepare?". His gentle correction of MacArthur (and those watching who are quick to growl at the culture) was wise and necessary. Nothing has changed in terms of Christian suffering and our current situation is not "strange" (1 Pet. 4:12). Also, who else but Piper could correct MacArthur and get away with it?! So thankful for both these giants of the faith.
I actually thought Piper was somewhat disrespectul to John MacArthur. "You just spent 10 minutes..." His answer seemed like a rebuke to John MacArthur. He suggested that what JM said would have people "seething with anger." Didn't like his manner of speaking to one of the greatest Bible expositors of all time.
I agree - Piper answered the question. The reality is suffering for Christ has been the norm for most of the Church since its beginning. We've been spared from persecution by God's grace for a long time. Jesus warned us 2000 years ago we would be hated by all nations yet we respond, not with fear or retreat, but with love, joy and hope.
I’m thankful JM spoke what he did, it’s a conformation of what I see coming and have already experienced. So now I don’t have to wonder why it seems like I’m the only one being persecuted in a country that once stood for God. Thank you Jesus. ❤
Pastor John MacArthur has to have this stance with this type of energy because of how lukewarm the church is today. Pastor John Piper coming in hot with the balance required to soften the blow. Thankful for both Teachers! 🤍💯
With great respect and admiration: Piper has mentored me (indirectly) for circa 20 years. His shaping of me theologically has been significant, even seminal. However, both of these gents fail to adequately answer the question in the last 20 minutes, which is THE primary question of the hour. I have posted a video on my channel today for anyone who is interested in understanding how it is that the real answer is actually within the very question.
What a blessing that we have been given, to have these ordained Godly men to explain the Bible without compromise and address the real issues of today according to God's word. I believe the end of days are here.
So insane, this has been on my mind for a minute now! Every day when I read my Bible I thank God that I still have the freedom to do this peacefully! Without having to hide, because I feel like it’s coming the persecution

@@catherinekirby1457 oh that post I made is old I'm back with the Lord I don't know if what I said was true but whether it is or not I'll choose to pick up my cross with Christ. I don't want to rebel especially if he really did die a virgin and he died for me. If he died for me I can't take that away from him. He did something good for me . Even though my sorrows have been strong throughout life keeping me in a cycle of rejection of a women making it difficult to find a wife that is worth marrying, and I've had so many dreams that feel like alternate realities and memories where I'm the same guy same sorrows and perhaps I live in a different city different choice but my sorrows are the same. This makes me scared that if I don't come out as Messiah then the ruler whoever he is , will cast me back into a life of sorrow and being a slave of the 9 to 5. If no one stands up and I don't either I feel those at the top in evil high places will always be there enjoying a life of pleasure and riches mocking the world and the poor. But I am also a believer that with faith all things are possible so if I put my energy to focus on what Jesus said that those that do not marry , when they die they will be made equal unto angels and obtain this world and the one to come but at the price of burning for it is written if they can't handle following Jesus , then let them marry otherwise they shall burn ❤️🔥 but after all that burning I believe if I'm still with Jesus, I'll be at right hand judging all who pierced me in this life according to how much they crossed the line. I hate boastful fornicators even married couples that boast when God even considers married people fornicators if they have sex outside the purpose of having children so in my wrath they won't be spared either. But again only those I know that crossed the line and angered me. I will watch the entire video today and give you my thoughts by the end of the day
Yes, I agree wholeheartedly and have been speaking with friends on this very issue for weeks now. True believers will suffer for their beliefs and I many parts of the world have been heavy for quite a long time.🙏✝️🙏
This video was convicting throughout & I pray that The Dear Lord give me the: strength, hope, knowledge, and guidance to step out in faith, lovingly preaching the truth, & nothing but the truth, so help me, God 😢

Thank YOU JESUS for these words from this middle man towards the last of this discussion. This is by far the best honest truth ive heard in awhile concerning scripture. Praise God for these words so precious reminding us that we can count it all JOY to suffer for and with him. There in is opportunity to worship deeper🥰🥰🥰
Excellent. Praise God!!! Please help us Lord to stand firm to the end. May we be conduits of the Lord Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit overshadow us to accomplish the perfect will of God for his glory alone. In Jesus name, amen.
Amen, John Piper, good answer!! We must remember that suffering for Christs sake is a precious gift. It is not only given to us to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake and the gospel. All who desire to live a Holy life will suffer persecution. Thanks be to God for this unspeakable gift of partaking in the sufferings of Christ. I don't count myself worthy to be baptized with the baptism that Christ was baptized with, or drink of the cup of which He drank. But Blessed be God that He has counted us all who trust in Christ worthy of suffer shame for the sake of the beloved. We must remember to pray for those who don't know God and are strangers to the blessings of the covenant of grace!! Don't hate the world, for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to save, not to condemn. We must to love the world but not be of the world. We must walk as Christ walked.
@@tlafleur8433 interesting god you have there. He loves you so much he wants you to suffer so you can be with him. I prefer a god who loves me and does not require me to suffer before he will accept me with his love
@@macdaddyp8437 I know enough not to believe everything I’m told. You believe without question the word of your holy books. As does the Muslim, as does the Buddhist, as does the Hindu as does all of those of the hundreds of religions on this planet. How do you know you are right and they are wrong? They believe as strongly as you do. If you were born in Saudi Arabia, you would be swearing by the Quran right now.
@@fess749 We know we're right because our Books have prophecies that are coming to pass. The Jews shouldn't exist at all, because any people that lose their homeland also lose their cultural identity as they are absorbed by the nations that take them in. And yet, Israel was reborn in a day just as Isaiah and Ezekiel prophesied, after almost 2000 years. John saw a vision in Revelation of an army of 200 million people invading the Middle East from the east. When he wrote that, there might not have been 200 million people in the whole world. They crossed the Euphrates River when it dried up. Well, it's drying up now, just as Russia is poised with military bases north of Israel. Just as Iran is close to having their own nuclear weapons. They already have missiles with the range to hit every nation in the Middle East. Iran has tens of thousands of guerilla soldiers in the regions surrounding Israel. John also saw something like a flaming mountain strike the sea, which sounds an awful lot like a comet or asteroid. Ezekiel said that the Earth will stagger like a drunken man, which sounds a lot like an Earth knocked off axis by a cosmic collision. But most of all, Jesus was prophesied by Daniel to be the Messiah, and Isaiah that He would be God in human flesh, centuries before He showed up. And He fulfilled every prophesy about His suffering, even to being laid to rest in a borrowed tomb. The world is falling into chaos, run by Russia, China and Iran, while America is run by faceless people managing a brain dead puppet of a president. And the Bible states that the non-Jewish world would fall into disarray soon after Jerusalem was re-established as Israel's capital. Be ready for bad things to befall this planet soon.
I love John MacArthur but I think I needed the words or John Piper today. Love is becoming so hard. I Know we are called to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, it’s just so hard sometimes 🙏🙏🙏
What John MacArthur said did not make me angry ... it made me see reality and understand it’s coming and strengthened me to be prepared ... confirmation to what’s going on in this country and world helps my faith ... does not make me angry . Thank you John MacArthur ❤️. God Bless You!
Thanks- I've been waiting for reformed pastors to start teaching and preparing us for these things and the times coming up that are so apparently rushing in
It seems Christ’s church is at it’s best when it’s persecuted. The present church has to be told this. The Holy Spirit is the most powerful person in creation and The Lord Jesus Christ will carry us through this time until He comes again! Amen Come Lord Jesus come quickly.
Praise Christ for raising up these bold men! Christ prepared His church for the persecution that would come. The world will hate us until Christ returns, but that is what makes being a Christian supernatural. We endure through suffering. May Christ be glorified as we are slaughtered, while clinging to God our strength and Redeemer. Soli Deo Gloria
This is such good teaching of Biblical truth from Both of you preachers of God's word, as a Born Again servant of Jesus Christ the night I received Christ and my eyes and heart were opened to the truth and God's Holy Word, I can honestly say people were either drawn to me asking and seeking what I had or they hated me ,rejected me, persecuted me here in America. Even loving family members and I had nothing but love for them and the Bible I had to hide it or people in my own family would tear it up and say I was overboard even though I hardly Said a word to them , I know every word of God is true and we are and always have been hated by those who love there sin , but it is getting more blatant in our laws as John McArthur said. But Amen to pipers words, we are in this world but clearly not of it. Thankyou for solid Biblical teaching so needed .
Both these Godly men are correct. I'm thankful for their wisdom. I do think Piper misunderstood John MacArthur. He wasn't saying suffering is new to the Christian. He was saying our specific culture in America has changed greatly and is very different in its paganism and hatred for Christianity. We had a Christian nation for a few hundred years and at least a nation who respected and operated on Judeo-Christian principles in our latter decades. All of that is gone now, and so we may see increased suffering and oppression from our wicked government. Did you ever think you'd see the day our government would be wicked? Thank you Lord for your sovereignty that we may rest in every day. We love you. We long for your return. We trust you and pray for our government and our world that Christians may live in peace and that many will be saved.
And they overcame by The Blood Of The Lamb AND, THE WORD of our Testimony!! Not By power Or Might, BUT BY My The Spirit, Saith The Lord of Hosts! Halleluyah! Maranatha! 🙏
I believe the first thing Christians need to do is give-up on the fairy tale of a pretribulational rapture. We must be ready to stay strong in Christ when the persecution promised by Christ starts.
agreed. been 2000+ years of Christ's followers getting tortured, burned alive, and so on with no rapture. what are they? chopped liver? and in the end, doesn't matter if one's end is via rapture or via getting t-boned in an intersection. if you're not ready for The Lord, then you're not ready for The Lord.
I’m glad Piper explained to McGarthur to be careful with how he preaches to not use words that would make the congregation hate the evil people, but to see that they were over evil and blind themselves (if they are truly born Again) and to love the Lord is to live for whom and follow Him in suffering to live their enemies to show them a glimpse of the kindness of God.
The world is gonna do what the world is gonna do. What of it? But how are Christians different than the world? How is MacArthur different? He started off spewing QAnon and conspiracy theory nonsense. He’s ruled by fear. He’s not living free in God’s grace. His only treasure does not seem to be Christ and the Cross. He seems to be much more concerned with ideology and narrative and his group winning. If God has already won, what of it? Praise God and stand firm. By their fruit you will know them… and he’s filled with fear and hate and not love. “The world is evil. They’re our enemies. They hate God. But we win.” Yeah. Heard it all before. Take your copium. Piper always seems to be faithful to the message of the gospel in my estimation… but… I’m not a Christian. So there’s no need to pay much attention to what I have to say if you don’t want to.
I disagree bro. Piper has mentored me (indirectly) for circa 20 years. His shaping of me theologically has been significant, even seminal. However, both of these gents fail to adequately answer the question in the last 20 minutes, which is THE primary question of the hour. I have posted a video on my channel today for anyone who is interested in understanding how it is that the real answer is actually within the very question.

Amazing John. Thank you for sharing. There is a live reading of the book of Job on my channel (from last week) if that would be of any help. Having read the book several times previously, reading it out loud was particularly powerful. Shalom
I love John Piper! I've never been to one of his services but I do listen to the sermons online and on Spotify. Since I don't currently have a church home, I consider him my preacher! ✨
I love and so respect John Piper! YES & AMEN! We should have BEEN teaching and preaching TRUTH and that includes suffering and Kingdom living! We r CALLED to extend the Kingdom of God to a world that is helpless and harassed, not despise it in a way that walks away in judgement but that walks into it with the power of the Holy Spirit, sharing the love, light and life of Jesus! We have been called to the Kingdom for such a time as this!👑❤🙏🏾
Wilisha, you might be interested in my take on this video which essentially disagrees that the critical question was answered adequately. I love both men and hence say that in respect.
In some ways we are…those, at least, whose hearts are set towards Jerusalem (so to speak). Piper has mentored me (indirectly) for circa 20 years.

Amen and Amen. Thank you both men of God. Both comments are so right. Suffering scares me, As I'll be honest I'm weak and I don't know if I will be strong enough not to yield to this world just to avoid it.😔😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Deeply praying that this will not be the case in my life as a believer. Lord have mercy on my soul!
We are back in pagan times. We should be ready to do what Yeshua and his disciples did! Drive out demons, heal the sick. Thank you for telling the truth
We don't have that power to heal the sick or drive out demons...we are not gods. Only if God gives us that power specifically and last time I checked, God commanded us to go an make disciples and bring the good news to to a lost world. We have no power to speak anything into existence.
@@TMcConnaughhay And these signs will follow those who [a]believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[b] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” We don't chase the signs, they follow those who believe. The gospel needs to be demonstrated in power and in truth. Not only truth. Not only power. Jesus has given us authority, we are not Gods.We are shoots on the main vine Jesus Christ. God Bless
Listen, it’s as simple as this: cessationism is profound error as is hyper-charismania. It is slovenly to abuse the gifts (the One Who gives) but it is pride to speak of the Spirit in the way that JM does. Jesus is coming and the preparation of the Church integrally involves the bridging of these historically mutually exclusive points. We are not on a spectrum; we are in a maze.
It is time to turn from the things of this world to seek and pursue God fervently. Know God, Know the word, love God and love people. We need to know how to walk in the fiery furnace with Jesus. The word is good and it works. May we be refined in the fiery furnace. God works powerfully in and through everything. Be on the narrow road and walk with God every day. He is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle. Do not fear man but trust in God. No weapon formed against us shall prosper.
Bring it on!!!! Martyr in the name of Might Glorious Jesus!!!! People fear what they don’t understand Amd can’t accept that there is a God more powerful than themselves or anything!!!! Hallelujah!! Thank you for this!!! 🌬🌬🌬🌬

I'm glad both these great teachers of GOD'S WORD are answering the question. When I was in my twenties I saw a very long movie named "The Mission" in a cinema and although I was a believer, but not a Christian at the time, (I was reborn by the grace of GOD at 36) , and although the movie was Catholic, I went home knowing that I am the kind of person portrayed by the character in the movie played by Jeremy Iron and that I would like to be the kind of person portrayed by the character in the movie portrayed by Robert de Niro. It was just what I experienced in myself. Here we have these two teachers of THE ONLY TRUTH and I can identify with both of them in their answer. THE BODY of CHRIST JESUS has many parts, this is one of the most enjoyable things of Christianity, that GOD calls different people to teach. John Piper is "portrayed by Jeremy Irons" and John McArthur is portrayed by Robert de Nero. If you have seen "The Mission" you will maybe get what I am babbling about. My apologies for taking so much of your time. This was just now on my heart at the end of the clip.
I do wish I was told this from the beginning, rather than stumbling into it being perplexed 🤔, especially from church goers. Thank you for the truth, age 50ish
Your absolutely right to mention this with lament. The fact that you were not is the subject of my second (forthcoming book). Piper has mentored me (indirectly) for circa 20 years.

My son came to me mid 2021 when it became mandatory that everyone get vaxxed and told me he wasn't getting the jab even though his work demanded it to continue being employed. He said, this is just a dress rehearsal, if we don't take a stand now, what will people do when it's the mark of the beast. He was fired from his job in December 2021 (not one person got the religious exemption approval from his company). He stepped out in faith and trusted God and God has met his every need. It brings me to tears seeing how my son trusts Jesus with all his heart. God is so, so good ALL of the time and He is worth dying for if necessary.
Amazing testimony of your sons faithfulness and trust in Christ. Well done to you, mom, as well. You raised him to walk in God's commands. Glory to God!
Bawling!!!! Amen!!!!
Australia same, so many lost their job. Christians are silence. Can't express your faith. But no one is stronger then the Almighty.
Amen! Praise the Lord! Thank you for sharing this wonderful testimony of your son's obedience in the Lord! God bless you, your son, and the rest of your family!👍😊💓
My son did not get the vaccine, but out of concern that it could effect his fertility. He was treated like a leper at his workplace but not terminated.
I’m poor , disabled (health) almost homeless & persecuted for not wanting to take the $h0t but I thank God everyday that like the sparrow I have food, water, and shelter. Persecution wasn’t as hard for me as it will be for somebody that is going to lose everything they work their whole life, for I lost everything slowly and I count my blessings of the Lord did this for me. I still have my life & yes they can take it but they can never take Jesus from me .
YES!!!! I haven't posted it yet. But, I wrote a song "Can't Take My Jesus From Me" 🦋
Amen
I refused to take the shot as well! A true Christian is ruled by Christ only. And who is Christ? The One who rules the world. If He is for you, all the forces of evil combined are nothing! O that His elect may live in His provision. There is no place He won't find you and sustain you . Behold He orchestrates your every step if you belong to Him. No fear
You are in your situations, and you listen to these two multimillionaires telling you about God? They each made a lot of money from the poor.
Same as Mr. $25 million Billy Graham. They get rich, their supporters/contributors stay poor.
@@FOHguy I listened, God brought me there. Yes many hv taken from the poor to get rich, money changes people they know this and now they have a trial of their own on what to do with that money. God will judge them , they know that but will they have any oil in their lamps to make it that far? Only God knows. If not Demons are nashing their teeth waiting to invade their brains of the false prophets . It’s so easy to see them when the boot is left open & the anointing has gone. But God blessed his true believers we don’t have the vile dreams but we do have the bad luck of this world which only strengthens us. If we had all things of the world we would have forgotten God and been on about our worldly business. … like Hollywood. Most richest famous, given anything and have anything in this world was the most miserable mean and nasty human beings.
"I want to prepare martyrs...doctrine of suffering...build in your people capacities for suffering. You preach what the Bible says about suffering." This is how we respond. We respond with being ready for suffering and being resolute in our faith and confident in our Lord Jesus Christ in the midst of it.
Amen!
Amen thank you God
Maybe you should be building faith in people.
Do you realize what you are saying. The Bible never preached to prepare people for suffering or martyrdom. Actually Saint Paul said to pray for basically good government so that the word could be distributed to the world. Your view presupposes the failure of Christianity, that the churches are going to shrink and shrink until they are some kind of a tiny minority which will be abused by the majority. It’s negative fatalism. It’s not particularly Christian and it’s wrong. It’s like a cancer that spreads your personal depression over how you see the world going. You really need to pray for good government as Saint Paul said so that the word can go out, people more and more will turn to Jesus, and those called to his name will grow. There is tribulation in the world but this love affair with pessimism is off.
@@mchevalier-seawell4438 We all need to do that! The Great Commission.

Answer to this question was good. However from reading past quotes from these two men that are not 100% sure that they possess eternal life. You have to screen everything they say to Gods Word. Be a Berean friends!
I pray that both of these great preachers continue to be strengthened healthwise, as they have aged now and we need more preachers like John MacArthur and John Piper who keeps teaching the true Biblical God. May God continue to strengthen them so they could continue on with their Ministry and sharing the true Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The church has been sleeping for a long time. Most people that claim to Christian are doing the devils work by voting democrats, every thing that party stands for is against Gods word. Murdering babies , marriage., lose morals .
Amen, May they continue for many ,many more years to come . Lord please grant them health and strength in their bodies as well as their spirits
Amen, Praying for this, in accordance with God's Will and in agreement with all o'y'all 🙏☝️🙌❣️
Actually, we don't, these two are actually teaching a false doctrine. You need to concentrate on knowing the scriptures rightly divided leave the rest to the Holy Spirit, 1 Jo 2:20.
@@lukezandvliet2294 What did Piper say that was wrong. Please enlighten.
Dear heavenly father, I pray for those who are martyred for speaking your truth and living in the will of God. I also, pray that whatever persecutions may come to me and my family, that we will be strengthened spiritually, and walk in obedience in your righteousness regardless of what the enemy does. May our body, mind, and soul always be a temple acceptable unto you almighty God. I pray these things in the name of our savior Jesus Christ.
Persecution? What envy do Christians cause aren't they rejected of the generation? It is written that the Lord was put to death for causing envy and y'all are not causing envy trust me. Unless they are prosperity gospel are they succeeding in the world but even the world accepts them. The ones that will cause envy and be persecuted are me and my angels who have no bodies right now but when I build them into robots as they whisper in my ear how to build them and we solve things others never find ways to solve , little by little we will cause envy and those of Satan and those of Jesus will persecute us. Satan is 1000 times worse than Jesus but Jesus said I am not good only God and I am the Messiah written in revelation.

But my destruction won't be a gun blowing your heads off but my will know exactly how to piss off my enemies to the point of great envy and anger and homocidal rage that this is a far worse fate than if I just killed everyone I hated in this world . Amen. It is written that the most vehement flame is jealousy and that is the bitter wrath that my enemies will taste. Some Christians will go to heaven with me as I have Christian friends and some Buddhist friends and anyone that's willing to be my friend and love me as I love them. I've poured my faith in Christ for so long but only him maybe and I understand my sorrows which are quite terrible that if anyone lived my life they would cast a snare at both satan and Jesus . I'll throw one stone at Jesus's face and a 1000 to satans face . Meet your new king. No one stays on top forever . Amen

My husband was MURDERED by our local hospital when he was admitted for covid. I begged the doctor in charge to give him ivermectin and had an outside doctor willing to come in and administer it to him, but all I got was a lecture and they wouldn’t let this doctor in the front door. They never let me see him or talk to him and they shot him up with Remdisavir and actually blew his lungs full of holes with the ventilator. I called an attorney and was told I could not sue because they followed Fauci’s and the CDC’s “protocols”. So now I am a widow who never got to say goodbye the the man I was married to for 40 years. But my beautiful husband is with his God and Savior, Jesus Christ now. Knowing this is what keeps me going.
I'm so sorry you lost your husband in such tragic circumstances !!! The covid virus and vacinne were both satanic ,!! Man made to usher in control.....Millions have sufferered ....In these difficult times hold on to Jesus .. Only he can take you home and give you eternal life !!!cast all your cares and anxieties on to Him because she cares for you !!! 😀
My deepest condolences to you. That is so horrendous. You husband is now home. May God grant you peace & comfort at this time.
I guess they are not doctors but drug company reps.
I hope your "beautiful" husband is in heaven.
So sorry Lisa, so sorry. Too many of these awful stories.
They did it on purpose. Same with me. Keep putting that qtip up my nose and now sicker. I did not mean to GRIEVE HIM. The holy Spirit didn't WRESTLE with me and I got Rebaptize fooled
Thank you, every one of you, for telling the truth of what we are up against. These are times I never imagined in my lifetime. I love John MacArthur and his teachings. We are so blessed to have him and others, who will not back down from what Scripture states. God bless you all. M.

America turned her back on God a long time ago. We are reaping our reward. We are possibly the “freest” country on earth. Too much freedom is dangerous. Everybody doing what is pleasing to them goes against the very nature of God. Christ provides us true freedom and it comes with responsibility to God and our fellow men. First keep God’s commandments, the 10 He wrote in stone with His own finger and rewrote with His own finger when the first broke. They are that important. Explain none of them away. If God changed any He would have made it clearer than clear. These 10 governs our relationship to God and others. Live them daily.

This brings me such comfort and also great sadness as I have suffered so little and complained so much over it. What is true suffering ? I wouldn't know it. Only first world suffering. I thank God for sending these men to guide us on our journey to know Him better. This has certainly stirred my heart and changed my view of suffering. Hallelujah !
read Foxe's book of Martyrs
I'm trusting we will be under the Power and Protection of the Holy Spirit when that time comes.
Acts 7:54 "When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 'Look,' he said, 'I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.'" He then asked the Lord to not hold this sin against them as he was being murdered.
I’ll be honest, It scares me.
What I want is to be strong in my faith. It’s what I pray for.
I want love for Jesus to transcend my fear.
I will praise the Lord with my whole heart. Psalms 138:1
I pray the Lord give me strength to endure, I pray for all of my brothers and sisters in Christ. I also pray that the lost may be found. Amen

The 2 great Bible expositors of our time! So much alike and yet so different in their preaching styles! Dr. McArthur with his steady, logical and painfully honest style of expounding the Word of God. Dr. Piper with his visual, passionate and sweeping and dramatic style of expounding our Lord's Word!
Praise God for both of these brothers. Love both their responses and greatly appreciate Pastor John Piper making clear that our salvation has freed us from this world and equipped us for suffering for the glory of God! This world, this country is not home and we are here to serve God❤

@Joanna Dickerson you know I've always believed ever since I was a little boy that the second coming of Christ would happen in my lifetime. And when you read the book of Revelation it all seems so confusing and magical Until you realize, it's not Magic. It's us. Our technology. CERN opens up the key to the abyss releasing Abaddon/Apollyon.
They have stated as much. The problem is with modern people is that they confuse what's horrific with what's impossible.

God Bless both of these men.I can't even imagine how much influence They've had on my christian life besides the Bible. Macarthur nailed it..the man is not afraid to speak the "inconvenient" truth ! So happy to see them together
Really...2 great influencial men of God !!! Praise God !
Let us prepare and pray and tell others to be deeply rooted in the WORD !!!
Him and piper preach the calvinist heresy.
Jesus had any influence?

When I have told my family the truth about Christ, they called me judgmental and have threatened to kick me out of the house. This is tiny compared to the murder of Christians in other places. Expect persecution, even if it’s small.
I wouldn’t call what you’ve described as small persecution as persecution. Hostile response to the gospel? Absolutely. But we need to stop calling every instance of hostility an act of persecution. Did your family pursue you with the intent of hostility? No, they responded to your pursuit of trying to bring them to life.
I say this only because I know people who slap that label of persecution on too many things, when those things aren’t actually persecution. Hope that makes sense. Have a blessed day in the Lord
Well darling. Look what they did to Jesus. Be grateful for the pain It proves your job is to pray constantly for them 😊
Yes, I have a few friends who think they are following Gods Will, but they continually sin of the flesh and don’t try to understand what Gods Will is. It’s not my place to judge, but I usually just encourage people to get married and I was doing that before I became Christian… and even then, I was booed by my friends, and I’m sure they thought I was being ‘judgemental’… but, after seeing so many F’d up situations due to a lack of sexual moral boundaries, and my own experiences, I began to try to get my friends to think … and it went about as bad as possible for both of them. They had to make mistakes to see on a secular level, but I now know the stakes aren’t just temporary consequences.
@@sharonseesink6163 such a strange concept. God was angry with man for his sins. So. In order for god to forgive man. He sent his son ( who is himself) to earth, so man can torture and murder his son. Now that man has tortured and murdered Gods son, God can now forgive man.think about how little sense that makes
I understand your pain. My husband wishes he never married me because I was born again a year into our marriage. I am only 30. He has never stopped telling me how much he hates Jesus and how much he hates me for being a Christian.
Piper nails it-he warned against American Christianity a long time ago, and that too many are Americans who love their rights before they are Christians who love Jesus.
I don't know any Christian like this and i have bee a Christian for 50 years and been to churches all over.
That is a myth (lie) of marxism
He didn’t nail it…he partially nailed it.
Piper has mentored me (indirectly) for circa 20 years. His shaping of me theologically has been significant, even seminal.
However, both of these gents fail to adequately answer the question in the last 20 minutes, which is THE primary question of the hour.
I have posted a video on my channel today for anyone who is interested in understanding how it is that the real answer is actually within the very question.
We trust in you Jesus ! Father God protect my brothers in sisters in Christ and help us to keep spreading the gospel of your word!
I am thankful for both men and am so thankful for Pastor John P bringing us back to 1 Peter and the apostolic doctrine! So thankful for this!!
I suffered so long from sin and I.v drug use and homelessness. I’m ready to suffer for the gospel. If I suffer now it will be for God
I believe we need to draw closer into relationship with God, memorize Scripture (since that’s our weapon), and remember that wherever God places us, He will use us. Job and Stephen are my main inspirations, along with the apostles. I pray that those Christians martyred will see Jesus and smile as Stephen did. Maranatha!
I think Piper was the better shepherd at this point in the conversation and actually answered the question of "how do we prepare?". His gentle correction of MacArthur (and those watching who are quick to growl at the culture) was wise and necessary. Nothing has changed in terms of Christian suffering and our current situation is not "strange" (1 Pet. 4:12). Also, who else but Piper could correct MacArthur and get away with it?! So thankful for both these giants of the faith.
I actually thought Piper was somewhat disrespectul to John MacArthur. "You just spent 10 minutes..." His answer seemed like a rebuke to John MacArthur. He suggested that what JM said would have people "seething with anger." Didn't like his manner of speaking to one of the greatest Bible expositors of all time.
I agree - Piper answered the question. The reality is suffering for Christ has been the norm for most of the Church since its beginning. We've been spared from persecution by God's grace for a long time. Jesus warned us 2000 years ago we would be hated by all nations yet we respond, not with fear or retreat, but with love, joy and hope.
I’m thankful JM spoke what he did, it’s a conformation of what I see coming and have already experienced. So now I don’t have to wonder why it seems like I’m the only one being persecuted in a country that once stood for God.
Thank you Jesus. ❤
Pastor John MacArthur has to have this stance with this type of energy because of how lukewarm the church is today.
Pastor John Piper coming in hot with the balance required to soften the blow.
Thankful for both Teachers! 🤍💯
With great respect and admiration:

What a blessing that we have been given, to have these ordained Godly men to explain the Bible without compromise and address the real issues of today according to God's word. I believe the end of days are here.
I am proud to be a servant for my savior, Jesus Christ and my almighty creator…
I need nothing else … no one needs anything else .🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Pastor Piper!
I read The Book and we win! Amen!
Praise God!
So insane, this has been on my mind for a minute now! Every day when I read my Bible I thank God that I still have the freedom to do this peacefully! Without having to hide, because I feel like it’s coming the persecution
Wow! This guy gets you right between the eyes! He doesn't mess around...straight to the point. And I agree with him!
Absolute must listen for all saints today...
Persecution? What envy do Christians cause aren't they rejected of the generation? It is written that the Lord was put to death for causing envy and y'all are not causing envy trust me. Unless they are prosperity gospel are they succeeding in the world but even the world accepts them. The ones that will cause envy and be persecuted are me and my angels who have no bodies right now but when I build them into robots as they whisper in my ear how to build them and we solve things others never find ways to solve , little by little we will cause envy and those of Satan and those of Jesus will persecute us. Satan is 1000 times worse than Jesus but Jesus said I am not good only God and I am the Messiah written in revelation. Feet colored fine brass that has been in a furnace a new name as written in revelation only sign you will know I'm here is Jonas who was a racist prophet and I am very racist towards white trash notice I said trash meaning some. And those I consider white trash are the evil rulers who even changed the image of God to suit them and took all the power for themselves and they reside on the left of politics and control Hollywood and porn just that whole entertainment industry exalting their image as most beautiful most smart these Nazis won't know what hitem same as when Hitler came to power, they didn't expect him to become so exalted and cause so much destruction. But my destruction won't be a gun blowing your heads off but my will know exactly how to piss off my enemies to the point of great envy and anger and homocidal rage that this is a far worse fate than if I just killed everyone I hated in this world . Amen. It is written that the most vehement flame is jealousy and that is the bitter wrath that my enemies will taste. Some Christians will go to heaven with me as I have Christian friends and some Buddhist friends and anyone that's willing to be my friend and love me as I love them. I've poured my faith in Christ for so long but only him maybe and I understand my sorrows which are quite terrible that if anyone lived my life they would cast a snare at both satan and Jesus . I'll throw one stone at Jesus's face and a 1000 to satans face . Meet your new king. No one stays on top forever . Amen

[6]Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

@@catherinekirby1457 i never said i was a professional singer lol but im still learning
@@WolfRhymesEntertainment , it’s a prophetic podcast. I would like to know what you think.
@@catherinekirby1457 oh that post I made is old I'm back with the Lord I don't know if what I said was true but whether it is or not I'll choose to pick up my cross with Christ. I don't want to rebel especially if he really did die a virgin and he died for me. If he died for me I can't take that away from him. He did something good for me . Even though my sorrows have been strong throughout life keeping me in a cycle of rejection of a women making it difficult to find a wife that is worth marrying, and I've had so many dreams that feel like alternate realities and memories where I'm the same guy same sorrows and perhaps I live in a different city different choice but my sorrows are the same. This makes me scared that if I don't come out as Messiah then the ruler whoever he is , will cast me back into a life of sorrow and being a slave of the 9 to 5. If no one stands up and I don't either I feel those at the top in evil high places will always be there enjoying a life of pleasure and riches mocking the world and the poor. But I am also a believer that with faith all things are possible so if I put my energy to focus on what Jesus said that those that do not marry , when they die they will be made equal unto angels and obtain this world and the one to come but at the price of burning for it is written if they can't handle following Jesus , then let them marry otherwise they shall burn ❤️🔥 but after all that burning I believe if I'm still with Jesus, I'll be at right hand judging all who pierced me in this life according to how much they crossed the line. I hate boastful fornicators even married couples that boast when God even considers married people fornicators if they have sex outside the purpose of having children so in my wrath they won't be spared either. But again only those I know that crossed the line and angered me. I will watch the entire video today and give you my thoughts by the end of the day
Praise God ! For a Godly pastor as Pastor McArther 🙏
Yes, I agree wholeheartedly and have been speaking with friends on this very issue for weeks now. True believers will suffer for their beliefs and I many parts of the world have been heavy for quite a long time.🙏✝️🙏
This video was convicting throughout & I pray that The Dear Lord give me the: strength, hope, knowledge, and guidance to step out in faith, lovingly preaching the truth, & nothing but the truth, so help me, God 😢
GOD Bless Pastor John McArthur, May God will continually give him strenght and good health till the Lord will rapture us all...
Thanks to John Macathur from Australia - He tells it like it is and presents Jesus as the only answer.
I love these two men of God. Much appreciation.

Thanking God for pastor John MacArthur.
Thank YOU JESUS for these words from this middle man towards the last of this discussion. This is by far the best honest truth ive heard in awhile concerning scripture. Praise God for these words so precious reminding us that we can count it all JOY to suffer for and with him. There in is opportunity to worship deeper🥰🥰🥰
“God’s greatest work is done in our suffering” Wow
John MacArthur is one of the only Main Street preachers standing up. God bless him.
Hello 🤗 Beautiful Lady 🌹..How are you doing today and how is your weather condition like?
Excellent. Praise God!!! Please help us Lord to stand firm to the end. May we be conduits of the Lord Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit overshadow us to accomplish the perfect will of God for his glory alone. In Jesus name, amen.
Thank you dear Lord for these men You chose to give to all Your Truth! Praise the Lord. Thank You Jesus.
Amen, John Piper, good answer!! We must remember that suffering for Christs sake is a precious gift. It is not only given to us to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake and the gospel. All who desire to live a Holy life will suffer persecution. Thanks be to God for this unspeakable gift of partaking in the sufferings of Christ. I don't count myself worthy to be baptized with the baptism that Christ was baptized with, or drink of the cup of which He drank. But Blessed be God that He has counted us all who trust in Christ worthy of suffer shame for the sake of the beloved. We must remember to pray for those who don't know God and are strangers to the blessings of the covenant of grace!! Don't hate the world, for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to save, not to condemn. We must to love the world but not be of the world. We must walk as Christ walked.
The Apostles considered it an honor to have been beaten for preaching the gospel. They rejoiced.
Amen
@@tlafleur8433 interesting god you have there. He loves you so much he wants you to suffer so you can be with him. I prefer a god who loves me and does not require me to suffer before he will accept me with his love
@@macdaddyp8437 I know enough not to believe everything I’m told. You believe without question the word of your holy books. As does the Muslim, as does the Buddhist, as does the Hindu as does all of those of the hundreds of religions on this planet.
How do you know you are right and they are wrong? They believe as strongly as you do.
If you were born in Saudi Arabia, you would be swearing by the Quran right now.
@@fess749 We know we're right because our Books have prophecies that are coming to pass.
The Jews shouldn't exist at all, because any people that lose their homeland also lose their cultural identity as they are absorbed by the nations that take them in. And yet, Israel was reborn in a day just as Isaiah and Ezekiel prophesied, after almost 2000 years.
John saw a vision in Revelation of an army of 200 million people invading the Middle East from the east. When he wrote that, there might not have been 200 million people in the whole world. They crossed the Euphrates River when it dried up. Well, it's drying up now, just as Russia is poised with military bases north of Israel. Just as Iran is close to having their own nuclear weapons. They already have missiles with the range to hit every nation in the Middle East. Iran has tens of thousands of guerilla soldiers in the regions surrounding Israel.
John also saw something like a flaming mountain strike the sea, which sounds an awful lot like a comet or asteroid. Ezekiel said that the Earth will stagger like a drunken man, which sounds a lot like an Earth knocked off axis by a cosmic collision.
But most of all, Jesus was prophesied by Daniel to be the Messiah, and Isaiah that He would be God in human flesh, centuries before He showed up. And He fulfilled every prophesy about His suffering, even to being laid to rest in a borrowed tomb.
The world is falling into chaos, run by Russia, China and Iran, while America is run by faceless people managing a brain dead puppet of a president. And the Bible states that the non-Jewish world would fall into disarray soon after Jerusalem was re-established as Israel's capital. Be ready for bad things to befall this planet soon.
I love John MacArthur but I think I needed the words or John Piper today. Love is becoming so hard. I Know we are called to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, it’s just so hard sometimes 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for being honest.
What John MacArthur said did not make me angry ... it made me see reality and understand it’s coming and strengthened me to be prepared ... confirmation to what’s going on in this country and world helps my faith ... does not make me angry . Thank you John MacArthur ❤️. God Bless You!

Thanks- I've been waiting for reformed pastors to start teaching and preparing us for these things and the times coming up that are so apparently rushing in
Hello Jody, The fact that you’ve been waiting for this is the critical point that is only glossed over in this otherwise excellent conversation. Nick
Amen excellently put☝️ Christ is TRUTH speak truth thank Pastors🙏
Thankful great Godly men like Dr McArthur and Dr Piper. 🙏
It seems Christ’s church is at it’s best when it’s persecuted. The present church has to be told this. The Holy Spirit is the most powerful person in creation and The Lord Jesus Christ will carry us through this time until He comes again! Amen Come Lord Jesus come quickly.
its a blessing to see two wise men that may not agree with everything one has said, treat each other with respect and humility.
Amen. We need to be setting our minds on things above.
Thank You for speaking and showing where we are now in America. Only Jesus can save your Soul.
Praise Christ for raising up these bold men! Christ prepared His church for the persecution that would come. The world will hate us until Christ returns, but that is what makes being a Christian supernatural. We endure through suffering. May Christ be glorified as we are slaughtered, while clinging to God our strength and Redeemer. Soli Deo Gloria
What these two men spoke here was truth. This resonated very strongly with me.
This is such good teaching of Biblical truth from Both of you preachers of God's word, as a Born Again servant of Jesus Christ the night I received Christ and my eyes and heart were opened to the truth and God's Holy Word, I can honestly say people were either drawn to me asking and seeking what I had or they hated me ,rejected me, persecuted me here in America. Even loving family members and I had nothing but love for them and the Bible I had to hide it or people in my own family would tear it up and say I was overboard even though I hardly Said a word to them , I know every word of God is true and we are and always have been hated by those who love there sin , but it is getting more blatant in our laws as John McArthur said. But Amen to pipers words, we are in this world but clearly not of it. Thankyou for solid Biblical teaching so needed .
Piper said," The problem with the prosperity theology is that it lacks the doctrine of suffering " This is so true!!!
Both these Godly men are correct. I'm thankful for their wisdom.
I do think Piper misunderstood John MacArthur. He wasn't saying suffering is new to the Christian. He was saying our specific culture in America has changed greatly and is very different in its paganism and hatred for Christianity. We had a Christian nation for a few hundred years and at least a nation who respected and operated on Judeo-Christian principles in our latter decades. All of that is gone now, and so we may see increased suffering and oppression from our wicked government. Did you ever think you'd see the day our government would be wicked?
Thank you Lord for your sovereignty that we may rest in every day. We love you. We long for your return. We trust you and pray for our government and our world that Christians may live in peace and that many will be saved.
And they overcame by The Blood Of The Lamb AND, THE WORD of our Testimony!! Not By power Or Might, BUT BY My The Spirit, Saith The Lord of Hosts! Halleluyah! Maranatha! 🙏
Get Ready pray and Love, Love, Love. These are the birth pains. Amen 🙏
Important point. Thank you
I believe the first thing Christians need to do is give-up on the fairy tale of a pretribulational rapture. We must be ready to stay strong in Christ when the persecution promised by Christ starts.
Rapture is an unbiblical teaching
agreed. been 2000+ years of Christ's followers getting tortured, burned alive, and so on with no rapture. what are they? chopped liver?
and in the end, doesn't matter if one's end is via rapture or via getting t-boned in an intersection.
if you're not ready for The Lord, then you're not ready for The Lord.
Indeed.
Pray for our enemies. It's a powerful weapon.
God bless these faithful pastors.
I’m glad Piper explained to McGarthur to be careful with how he preaches to not use words that would make the congregation hate the evil people, but to see that they were over evil and blind themselves (if they are truly born Again) and to love the Lord is to live for whom and follow Him in suffering to live their enemies to show them a glimpse of the kindness of God.
The world is gonna do what the world is gonna do. What of it?
But how are Christians different than the world? How is MacArthur different? He started off spewing QAnon and conspiracy theory nonsense. He’s ruled by fear. He’s not living free in God’s grace. His only treasure does not seem to be Christ and the Cross. He seems to be much more concerned with ideology and narrative and his group winning. If God has already won, what of it? Praise God and stand firm.
By their fruit you will know them… and he’s filled with fear and hate and not love. “The world is evil. They’re our enemies. They hate God. But we win.” Yeah. Heard it all before. Take your copium.
Piper always seems to be faithful to the message of the gospel in my estimation… but…
I’m not a Christian. So there’s no need to pay much attention to what I have to say if you don’t want to.
I disagree bro.
Piper has mentored me (indirectly) for circa 20 years. His shaping of me theologically has been significant, even seminal.
However, both of these gents fail to adequately answer the question in the last 20 minutes, which is THE primary question of the hour.
I have posted a video on my channel today for anyone who is interested in understanding how it is that the real answer is actually within the very question.
Knowing he’s with us every moment
John Piper nailed it. Just his clip alone is enough.

Amazing John. Thank you for sharing. There is a live reading of the book of Job on my channel (from last week) if that would be of any help. Having read the book several times previously, reading it out loud was particularly powerful. Shalom
Thank you for the truth
Thank you for helping people realize our own faith.
John Piper has been my father in the faith since I got saved 20 years ago and he doesn’t even know it. Thank you Lord for this vessel.
My two fave pastors in one forum praise God
I love John Piper! I've never been to one of his services but I do listen to the sermons online and on Spotify. Since I don't currently have a church home, I consider him my preacher! ✨
I hope you find a local church. I love his sermons too.
Such a strong speech! Thanks!
People don’t even know how bad it will get. I just pray the Lord takes us up soon. Get saved now.
He won't. It's not the time.
@@johncummins6655 It could happen any day now.
This is good! Finally the church speaking truth
I love and so respect John Piper! YES & AMEN! We should have BEEN teaching and preaching TRUTH and that includes suffering and Kingdom living! We r CALLED to extend the Kingdom of God to a world that is helpless and harassed, not despise it in a way that walks away in judgement but that walks into it with the power of the Holy Spirit, sharing the love, light and life of Jesus! We have been called to the Kingdom for such a time as this!👑❤🙏🏾
Wilisha, you might be interested in my take on this video which essentially disagrees that the critical question was answered adequately. I love both men and hence say that in respect.
Follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and you can’t go wrong. Love, Charity, compassion, faith...believe...
Sometimes I feel like we are suffering enough already. Father have mercy on us.
In some ways we are…those, at least, whose hearts are set towards Jerusalem (so to speak).

Lord have mercy on my soul!
We are back in pagan times. We should be ready to do what Yeshua and his disciples did! Drive out demons, heal the sick. Thank you for telling the truth
We don't have that power to heal the sick or drive out demons...we are not gods. Only if God gives us that power specifically and last time I checked, God commanded us to go an make disciples and bring the good news to to a lost world. We have no power to speak anything into existence.
@@TMcConnaughhay And these signs will follow those who [a]believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[b] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
We don't chase the signs, they follow those who believe.
The gospel needs to be demonstrated in power and in truth. Not only truth. Not only power.
Jesus has given us authority, we are not Gods.We are shoots on the main vine Jesus Christ. God Bless
Listen, it’s as simple as this: cessationism is profound error as is hyper-charismania. It is slovenly to abuse the gifts (the One Who gives) but it is pride to speak of the Spirit in the way that JM does.
Jesus is coming and the preparation of the Church integrally involves the bridging of these historically mutually exclusive points.
We are not on a spectrum; we are in a maze.
It is time to turn from the things of this world to seek and pursue God fervently. Know God, Know the word, love God and love people. We need to know how to walk in the fiery furnace with Jesus. The word is good and it works. May we be refined in the fiery furnace. God works powerfully in and through everything. Be on the narrow road and walk with God every day. He is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle. Do not fear man but trust in God. No weapon formed against us shall prosper.
This world is not our home. We are sojourners like Abraham, looking for a city whose builder is God. Run the race. It's a marathon not a sprint!
Bring it on!!!! Martyr in the name of Might Glorious Jesus!!!! People fear what they don’t understand Amd can’t accept that there is a God more powerful than themselves or anything!!!! Hallelujah!! Thank you for this!!! 🌬🌬🌬🌬

When I was in my twenties I saw a very long movie named "The Mission" in a cinema and although I was a believer, but not a Christian at the time, (I was reborn by the grace of GOD at 36) , and although the movie was Catholic, I went home knowing that I am the kind of person portrayed by the character in the movie played by Jeremy Iron and that I would like to be the kind of person portrayed by the character in the movie portrayed by Robert de Niro. It was just what I experienced in myself. Here we have these two teachers of THE ONLY TRUTH and I can identify with both of them in their answer. THE BODY of CHRIST JESUS has many parts, this is one of the most enjoyable things of Christianity, that GOD calls different people to teach. John Piper is "portrayed by Jeremy Irons" and John McArthur is portrayed by Robert de Nero. If you have seen "The Mission" you will maybe get what I am babbling about. My apologies for taking so much of your time. This was just now on my heart at the end of the clip.
Glory to God the Father
Hallelujah. Praise Yahweh
I do wish I was told this from the beginning, rather than stumbling into it being perplexed 🤔, especially from church goers. Thank you for the truth, age 50ish
