When Will the Rapture Happen? | Episode 46

- Опубликовано: 13 мар 2022
- Will Christians be caught up into the sky in an event known as the "Rapture"? Does the Bible say when this event will occur? Critics like to point out that the word rapture doesn’t appear anywhere in Scripture. Some argue that the modern idea of the Rapture originated in the 1800s with John Nelson Darby and was made popular by the Scofield Reference Bible.
Dr. David K. Bernard responds to the critics and answers these questions by laying out what the Scriptures say about this world-changing event.

No matter what you believe; pre,mid or post we MUST always be ready for His return and have our lamps filled with oil. Stay in prayer and fasting and look up because our time draws near.
Great. Thanks sir Bernard. Rapturo in Latin
Great teaching. Worth learning. Excellent exposition of the LORD's soon return. Be warned. Be ready. obey Acts 2:38. Repent of your sins. Be HOLY GHOST filled. Live a holy, separated life. Keep winning souls. Keep self in the love of GOD.
Only, if you believe in that stuff, uou are not reading and understanding scripture....and wosre, you are deceiving people. No, no rapture, no pre-trib or and of those lies.
Here is the Original Semitic Text. Guys, HERE is Our Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"

Thank you so much this channel gives me so much encouragement. I’m a single mother struggling to provide for my two autistic sons both non verbal.
I’m so overwhelmed. I’ve been put down, called horrible names, and mocked by others even my own family just because of my situation. I lost my job over declining the vaccine. I declined due to my pre existing health conditions (Lupus) and heart failure. I have no family or friends to turn to. Struggling facing homelessness with two children. is scary. My husband passed away three years ago. I miss him dearly. Me and the children are still coping with his passing. Please keep me in your prayers. Every month is stressful. Im so ashamed my and embarrassed about my situation. Holding on dearly to my faith. I know Our Heavenly Father will provide for me and my children. Praise Jesus! walking by faith not by sight!
Amen! I respect you for sharing your personal situation and holding on so dearly to your faith during your time of adversity. Even though you have not been treated so well by your family, I would not forget to fellowship especially with people in the church. Not only will they be able to pour into you and your situation, but you will also be a testimony for them and be able to encourage others. Have a blessed week, Mousey!
That is great faith in the
Almighty who is in control of our lives and everything else. Keep on being persuaded by the Word and his promises for they are true. I am going through a horrible accusation but I have faith and trusting in HIM that HE will deliver me from this situation for HE is the ONE that fights our battles when we call upon his name (jesus) for HE only knows how to triumph. Keep that great faith and focus totally in HIM and I believe He will pour down of his blessings upon you and your children. Keep praying for I will pray for you and your kids. I have been a Pentecostal for 29-30 years. HE is already blessing you and your kids.
Yes sister! Remember what we're going too, even when we fight in this life! God is for us not against us!
Revelation 21:4 KJV - And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Where do you live? I’m a single mom in Canada with a special needs child and understand your situation immensely! It feels so alone at times but you are not alone. Others of us out there battling in similar ways.
Yes hallelujah praise God, Jesus is our blessed hope, our wonderful counselor and our great physician, I pray Holy Father you bless this family, and may all their needs be met in the name of Jesus Christ💖⚘
Come soon Lord Jesus and rapture us your people who're called by your name. Amen 🙏🙌
I appreciate the attitude of Dr. Bernard towards those that differ on when the rapture will occur.
The key here is at the sound of the LAST trumpet!!
Yes the last TRUMP;-)
the last of 7 trumpets occur at the end of the 7 year time of the end. The 7th trumpet blast occurs on the first day of God's seventh month which is God's Feast of Trumpets, at which time Christ returns to earth as KING of Kings, this is -- the first resurrection found in Revelations 20.
7 is God's number of spiritual perfection.
Love it, Father help us all to be ready when you come!!
God bless you, Rev. David Bernard🙌
You sound gorgeous
God bless Rev. David Bernard
Excellent, Bro. Bernard! As usual 👏🏽
It's actually crystal clear in 1st Corinthians 15:51 through 58,please read , at the last trumpet and not until then.
And Jesus is also crystal clear that this generation shall not pass until all be fulfilled and then He will come immediately after the tribulation of those days and gather us together.
This generation? which generation? The generation Jesus was speaking to? The Church wasn't born yet. He was talking to the Jews. The tribulation is about the Jews.
Correct. Pre trib is a false doctrine and can easily be dismantled by scripture. WE DO NOT INTERPRET SCRIPTURE. SCRIPTURE INTERPRETS SCRIPTURE
And post trib can easily be interpreted in scripture as the truth. Be ready but also let NO MAN deceive you.
@@hargisP2 Jesus was talking about the generation that sees all the birth pangs that he was just talking about. Obviously if Jesus was referring to the generation that he was talking to, then it did not come to pass and he was wrong. So we know it was not that current generation.
What a great man of God...it is good to hear wise words in this time. Thank you
God bless you Bishop. I love listening to all your podcasts. It fills my humble Heart And Soul. ❤😊😊
Saying hello from Thibodaux Louisiana. I want to thank you for these podcasts . I have been raised up in the church but went away from God but never have I forgot where I come from. Thank God I have been on the road back to Him and am so thankful for His love, mercy and grace!!!
I appreciate these podcasts, and incorporate it into my daily devotionals. It has helped me and strengthened me through rough times when I’ve doubted my very own beliefs. Thank you so much Bro Bernard. I thank God for you!! May God continue to bless your ministry in Jesus name !!
Mathew 24:29-31 ,40-42 Luke 17:34-36 immediately after the great tribulation
It does matter we must understand the correct timing of the rapture remember even the elect can be deceived God bless you brother David Barnard
NO, Matthew 24:24,"were it possible, even the very elect would be deceived."
Agree with the rest.
We don't have time to play games or fight over this endtime ministries is right on time if you want missed the rapture go ahead but we believe the rapture will takes place immediately after the great tribulation I am ready for the rapture John 3 3 5 Acts 2 4 Acts 2:38-39 apply the Lord 's prayer to every part of your life you don't have anything to worried about
Thank you Bishop Bernard
I am listening here from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 and like your teaching on the Rapture of the Believers and coming back to Earth with Him after the Tribulation Period. I think this Generation is the Last Fig Tree Generation 🌳 which Christ Jesus stands at the Door 🚪 to recieve us into Heaven for the Wedding Banquet and return to Earth with Him to establish God's Millennium Kingdom. Love your teaching message of hope.
Yes, whether we like it or not “The KING is coming back for HIS BELOVED”
This month I hope, I'm so exhausted mentally and physically and panic attacks,stress I cant wait to leave. Every day since May I'm waitting for the rapture. So many things happening around the world we are definitely getting closer, I hope.
I think Luke 21:36 is another clue to a pre-trib rapture. After Jesus speaks of the end times and tribulation v. 36 says:
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. -Luke 21:36
We must be ready so we will be found worthy to ESCAPE those things.
Actually strong case for pre-trib.
If you believe in pre-trib, make sure you will be ready for tribulation if it comes lest you fall away
If anyone is ready, it’s pretrib believers
@@yo-nq8vm they are the least ready. NOt doing anything to prepare, just waiting to be called up.
@@jordan19862000 and this you know how????
There is no rapture. Read John 17:15. Jesus praying in the garden: "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil." KJV
Pre trib is a false doctrine according to II Thess 2:1-4. It can be easily dismantled by scripture.
Thank you for the clarification. God bless you.
I really appreciate this well rounded view.
The guy is wrong. It's not a well rounded view.
@@jamesfleming7671 And your view is Biblical? He is giving all the views. This in years past was never a issue of accusing right or wrong. It is not a salvation issue. But in the last 15 years or more there has been an evil attack on those that believe in Pre Trib, people acting as though they are God, or more correctly Satan. There is evidence going back to 160ad of teaching for the Pre Trib Rapture. Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
This was explained so very well and lots of Bible verses to back it up PRAISE THE LORD ! He is coming let’s be ready oh! What a day that will be HALLELUJAH 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️Bless Pastor David Bernard & his wife and family
Thank you so very much for making the complicated, simple and easy to understand and thank you so very much getting straight to the point put in a good information. God bless you in Jesus name.
Amen and Amen. The important thing is to always be ready to meet the Lord. Matthew 25, Revelation 2,3

@@Praise___YaH thank you for sharing this! Jesus is LORD! I personally see post-tribulation catching away all throughout scripture but no one is promised tomorrow and that's why we are all living day to day by God's great grace unless He has given promises that have yet to be fulfilled and then we can bank on continuing to live until those promises come to pass. That's why it is written that today is the day of salvation. This is for not only those who have not been born again but also those who have. Every day we must make sure our hearts are right with God before we go onto be with the Lord.

You must learn the Bible from reading it and learning the truth of his word to better know him.
Great preaching
Thank you Bishop
I'm a pre trib believer myself.
I was too until I studied the scriptures and stopped listening to hollywood
Former pre trib now solidly post trib.

Excellent!
Love these videos!
I don't think he is answering the question, but he is giving one of the best answers. And another I think dr Bernard should tell the World he is reading Conduct,Order and Doctrine of William Branham
very well said sir
Thank You Bro. Bernard for your views on this subject. I would like to add that the adversary of mankind has even now stated that men can give birth. O' My Dear Lord God, what wickedness there is in our times. I truly believe the Lord Jesus is coming so very soon to take his followers of his out of this sinful world.
When will believers be snatched up to be with the Lord..Come quickly Lord Jesus come.
A great video!

Glad I found this podcast, my wife amd I are enjoying your knowledge. This house is baptized in jesus name and filled with the holy spirit, and we home school our children soon to be three so we can make sure the foundation of the truth about jesus is with them. Definitely excited to find this channel amd follow along with your messages
THAT’S A COPOUT to say “No matter what you believe, we must always be ready …” The Word says, "For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?" (ICor14:8 KJV) That means that if you listen to the uncertain doctrines concerning the sequence of events to happen between no sand the Rapture - and beyond … then you’re going to be ill prepared for the great tribulation!
Pre trib, Mid trib, post trib is and never has been an issue for salvation. So for one to say no matter what you believe on this issue you must be ready (prepared). That is not a cop out.
Irvin Baxter nailed it.
I'm a child of the King and l wanna go home.,,,,, amen.
Matthew 24:29
But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. 31And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET BLAST, and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His [x]elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
It's amazing how it couldn't be any clearer and yet ppl don't see it. We often see what we want to though.
If you have angels blowing trumpets or angels gathering then it instantly disqualifies the Rapture! God blows the Trump of God and then Jesus shouts to gather. That is the sequence! No angels involved
@@CowboysFan777 hmmmm no.
@@CowboysFan777 u show me all the verses u think are "rapture" vs all those u think are "Second Coming" and I'll show u the same event and timing.
@@jasonjohnson3424 Jesus mentioned Days of Noah and Days of Lot and both had an ESCAPE method and then judgment. If you have any other sequence then it's wrong.
very well put
Bro Bernard, you just read in scripture when the catching away of the saints happens. At the end of the seventh trumpet. John identifies the events of it clearly; and, the events prior to. To understand the events we end up post rapture, therefore fulfilling Rev. 20:4. It is church members that refuse to worship the beast or his image and receive their reward for doing so.
Very interesting point. We know that 1 Thess 4:15-18 is unquestionably true however I personally think that this so called doctrine of The Rapture at best (to be kind) is questionable. Personally I just assumed for many years that it was right as the Christian leaders endorsed it. However about a year ago the Lord put it in my heart to study the book of revelation which I have been doing since and have yet to find any scripture to support this so called Rapture , on the other hand I read rev 18:4 where God is telling His people to come out of Babylon whom He is about to judge. This occurs after the 7th vial is poured out ( who are these people) if the church is already gone? And who are the people who refuse to take the mark? God help us. We must study to show ourselves approved unto God not man rightly dividing the word of truth in our case that’s the Bible.
Ah yes, the great U-Turn. 2 Thess. 2:7-10 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. "He who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way" is talking about the Church. The Church and the prayers of the saints is what is keeping the Anti Christ from appearing. AS it says the Church will be taken away, then the Anti Christ will appear. Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
MARANATHA!

I wish I could hear bro Bernard and bro Baxter discuss this. He was post tribulation. Bro Baxter use to be my pastor but we disagreed on some things but I believe he may of been right on the tribulation. I don't know.
Would definitely love to hear him and bro robins discuss this for sure.
When the 2 witnesses are called up that's the 1st resurrection or rapture of the dead in Christ 1st then we who are alive and remain. It's not about knowing the day or the hour but the event.

Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, modern Dispensational Theology falls apart, and the pretrib removal of the Church falls with it.
The Capitol "C" Church, as we use the word today, is not found in the entire Book of Revelation. Individual church bodies in ancient Asia Minor are found. In Revelation 12:11 we find those under the blood of the Lamb. A person cannot be under the blood of the Lamb and not be a part of the New Covenant Church of Jesus Christ. Verse 12 of this passage proves at least part of the tribulation period is the wrath of Satan upon the people of God.
Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
"It may come as a surprise to most pre-Trib prophecy students that the post-Trib position (in its primitive form) is the oldest point of view."
The quotation above is from the book "Will You Escape The Tribulation? RAPTURE [Under Attack]", by Tim LaHaye, copyright 1998, Page 197.
The gathering of the Church is described at the end of 1 Thess. Chapter 4, and the timing of the event is found in chapter 5. The word “But” in the first verse of chapter 5 connects the two chapters, and the words “we” and “sleep” in verse 10 of chapter 5 prove the two chapters are connected.
Well then, you can know for sure, simply read your Bible. Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 is Jesus telling us what to expect and the sequence of events. Acts 1:9-11 and Galatians 3:28 help as well.
I think the ancient Jewish wedding as described in scripture has influenced a countless number of Christians that the Pre Trib is overwhelmingly the most logical. I don't recall seeing so many posts regarding the ancient wedding until the last 5 years or so. There are many of them now. I have reviewed quite a few and personally like the post by Theo Heartsill the best so far. Perry Stone. [Stone does a re-enactment of the whole process which makes it easy for the family to watch. Of course, you decide what you conclude!
Pre trib doesn't make any sense though.
I have heard it taught ever since I became Born Again in 1983. That is longer than 5 years. I have done much research about the subject, and have found evidence going back to 160ad.
@@Costumekiller Pre Trip makes perfect sense when you find out the purpose of the tribulation, and who it is for. It also makes perfect sense when you study all the times through the Bible that God took His people far from where He (God) was to display His wrath. The flood was God's wrath, Noah was removed from suffering that wrath. Sodom and Gomorrah was God's wrath, Lot was removed from suffering that wrath. The Tribulation is God's wrath upon the whole earth far worse than has ever happened before. And God removes His bride the Church, before the suffering. The tribulation is about Israel not the Church. It is called in the OT as Jacob's trouble, not the Church's trouble. The wedding feast of the lamb takes place in Heaven while the tribulation is happening on earth, the Church better be at the wedding feast. And there is so much more. Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Amen!

Absolutely love this pastor and it definitely matters if you believe in the Rapture or not because it's true it will take place before the day of the Lord another event seven years when the tribulation starts
I love listening to brother Bernard, his wisdom is amazing. But on this subject I disagree, I believe the Bible is very clear that the rapture is at the end of the tribulation. Good conversation though.
I’m a mid tri but you made a great case for pre tri
Read all of Matthew 24, for your sake. Mark 13 and Luke 21 concur.
Pray ...please..for me.depressed,and homeless.
Just saw your request, I pray your situation has been improved by Our Lord and Saviour. Praying for you now.
The second scripture he read said " at the last trumpet". 🙌

Can you please explain Matthew 24:29-31.Will we go thru the tribulation and be killed by the guillotine?
Through out the Bible God has always brought His people through tribulation not delivered them from it.

Be ye ready.

NEVER. Short, sweet and to the point.
I'm very much convinced with the post tribulation view but as always, it's so nice hearing Dr. Bernard teach with much wisdom. ❤️
Same here, post trib not pre trib but either way we must always be ready, make sure your lamp is filled with oil.
I'm honestly really surprised at how many, especially Bro Bernard, preachers still believe a pre-trib. I can't even see how anyone could believe pre anymore, every argument gets rebutted in my mind by what the Scripture actually says.
Shrug, oh well, just be ready bc you never know when He will take you bc you are not promised tomorrow.

I thought pre trib. teaching is agreed upon and shared among all Apostolic Oneness believer, as it is to where i'm from too, also for some part of our fundamental teaching has a strong relevant connection to it. But i'm being troubled that before watching this video i've seen one of our very own Oneness Pastor in youtube sayin pre trib. teaching is wrong. which i think someone has to addressed about it, and the reason why i'm thankful for this video. For Most of the time We don't care much if it comes from other denominational group whether it be a post, mid or etc. i personally think that it is very wrong to state that it doesn't matters whether it is pre, mid or post. Because it matters especially for Oneness believers, if not matters then why the LORD gave us Warning so we can be prepared the same is true in today's modern world
What should matter most to you is what God's Word says. Read Acts 1:9-11, then Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. This is Jesus telling us what to expect and the sequence of events. Pay close attention to verses 29-31 in Matthew and 24-27 in Mark and 25-27 in Luke.
We know when but not the hour.
But when the tribulation starts one can calculate the second coming.
🙏🏻
In all due respect, I admire Brother Bernard and mean no ill will. It takes honesty to admit what Jesus said when the timing of His coming would be according to Matthew and Mark's record. Two witnesses that Jesus said His return is after the Tribulation. Luke John and Paul agree with Jesus. The last trumpet is the 7th trumpet according to scripture. That is at Armageddon. All other discussions about pre and mid are worthless.
Mathew..24: 29-30 ..says immediately after the tribulation of thoes days. Not to say anything against this is a great coverage of pre and mid trib but not much about post...
I agree, Yahusha (Jesus) coming after trib because it will be a simultaneous events.
It says Jesus returns AFTER the Tribulation. Duuuuh. He doesn't return DURING the Tribulation. The Rapture happens BEFORE the Tribulation
There is only one second coming. Not a third coming. What we call a rapture is the second coming per scripture. Jesus said he would gather his elect after the great tribulation, not before.

Believers are sealed unto the day of redemption and saved from the day of wrath.

Bishop Bernard can I ask I have an issue with people thinking I'm judging them them when I'm not my mother loves to go out to bars and and sometimes I have to come pick her up and she says that I'm judging her when I have it even said a word why is Bert why is that and how can I prevent this
I'm sorry haven't said a word I mispelled that
Hello brother or sister in Christ. I would like to answer you about this because I know how it happens. Biggest thing, even if you don’t say anything your Spirit bothers theirs and they do not feel comfortable being around you. Try to always not let your face be sour but let your mother know you love her & God loves her. Pray for her and if she lets you pray over her. Prayer is the only way we can get our family to serve God rather than the world
What's most important is to be spiritually ready to meet our Maker, whether at death or at His return, but it's also important to pray that God help us understand endtime prophecies.
I strongly believe that the Bible does not teach 2 second comings of Jesus, as taught by pre-trib and post-trib views. The Lord's coming from heaven and resurrection of the saints at the last trump of God in 1 Cor 15:51-54 & 1 Thess 4:116-17 is the same as the coming of the Son of man in the clouds immediately after the great tribulation (which will last for 3 & a half yrs, NOT 7 yrs) in Matt 24:15-31, Mk 13:14-27, Lk 21:20-28. Then He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet (the same last trump) to gather together His elect from all nations and all generations, Jews and Gentiles alike. This is the first resurrection, which is the resurrection of the just and the righteous, which will include all who died in Christ and of those who are alive and remain in Christ until His coming (1 Thess 4:15-17); the Martyrs of Rev 6:9-11; the 144,000 Jews who are sealed in Rev 7:1-8; the multitude from all nations who came out of Great Tribulation in Rev 20:4-6 & Rev 7:13-17-; and the 2 Witnesses in Rev 11:7-12.
Revelation 20:6 - 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.
Revelation 20:5 - But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. (This is the resurrection of the unrighteous and the unjust.)
Pre trib is not teaching 2 second comings. Jesus doesn't come back to earth for the Rapture, but calls the Church to Him. You twist what is taught. 2 Thess. 2:7-10 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. "He who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way" is talking about the Church. The Church and the prayers of the saints is what is keeping the Anti Christ from appearing. AS it says the Church will be taken away, then the Anti Christ will appear.
Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
@aurora.. you are correct in all the scriptures you posted. And the Lord said, what I say unto you, I say unto all, watch and pray.
Dr. Bernard,
What is your response to the Preterist theologians who declare that the Coming of Christ in the Olivet Discourse (Matt 24) took place in their generation at the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.?
For example, in Matt 24, after Jesus spoke of His coming in the clouds of heaven to gather together His elect (vs. 31) He then states “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (34)
Can you please make sense of how we can stretch verse 34 into two thousand years into the present 21st century? How can we logically explain the time statements of Christ when He said their generation would see all those eschatological events?
Also, can you also interpret for us the following passage:
“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” - Matt. 16:27-28
The Presterist interpret this as Jesus declaring His coming and final judgment to occur before some of them standing there would die - namely, in 70 AD at the destruction of Jerusalem.
Your response is appreciated.
Kind regards
@Ac Tion I am a Full Preterist. What Full Preterist scholar are you referring to?
When will the rapt happen? Praying for rapture everyday
It's not that Paul was expectant during his day. To simply put it, it was written for us today.
I agree there are 3 views in raptures pre trib, mid trib, and post trib. However, Yahusha (Jesus) mention in Matt 24:29-31 it indicate post trib.
*Matt 24* is not about the rapture my friend. Jesus in that passage is dealing with His 2nd coming...we're nowhere to be found in that passage, sorry.
The elect yes the church
@@lookup2351 No sir, "ELECT" is not a technical word.
@@lookup2351 The “ELECT” in *Matt **24:31* is speaking of the *JEWS* who turn to Christ during the tribulation.
Throughout scripture, the Jews are referred to as the “chosen” and “elect” (Isaiah 43:10,20 45:4 for instance), and as you know, the Jews have been a “SCATTERED” people…
*Neh 1:8* “…I will SCATTER you abroad among the nations”.
*Ez **5:10* “…and the whole remnant of thee will I SCATTER into ALL THE WINDS”
*Ez **17:21* “…and they that remain shall be SCATTERED toward all winds…”
*Zech 2;6* “…for I have SPREAD you abroad AS THE FOUR WINDS of the heaven, saith the LORD.”
Even Peter speaks of the Jews having been SCATTERED, and refers to them as the “ELECT”…
*I Pet 1:1,2* “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers SCATTERED throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, *ELECT* according to the foreknowledge of God the Father…”. Furthermore...
*Deut 7:6* “God hath CHOSEN thee to be a special people unto himself”
*Deut 14:2* “The LORD hath CHOSEN thee to be a peculiar people unto Himself”I
*I Chr **16:13* “O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his CHOSEN ones!”
*Ps **33:12* “The people whom he hath CHOSEN for his own inheritance”
*Ps 105:6* “O ye Seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his CHOSEN”
*Ps 105:43* “He brought forth his people with joy, and his CHOSEN with gladness”
*Ps 135:4* “For the LORD hath CHOSEN Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure”
*Isa **43:10* “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have CHOSEN…”
*Isa **43:20* “…I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my CHOSEN”
*Isa 45:4* “For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine ELECT…”
*Isa 65:9* “I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob… mine ELECT shall inherit it”
*Isa 65:22* “… the days of my people, and mine ELECT shall long enjoy the work of their hands”
The entire passage _S C R E A M S_ Jews...there's NOTHING in it about us.
@@Kman. 2 who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit,to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood:
This are christian Jews 😆
Matthew 24:3 Jesus was teaching disciples ( church) not to Jews
In the bible Jeus said he would return before the apostles died? What do you think of what he said.
When the 2 witnesses are called up that's the 1st resurrection or rapture of the dead in Christ 1st then we who are alive and remain. It's not about knowing the day or the hour but the event
Here is the Original Semitic Text. HERE is Our Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Brother Bernard, please explain how in Rev 20:4 Saints die , by being beheaded for resisting the mark of the beast. How can they face the mark of the beast if they are raptured before the tribulation? These Saints are killed and reign with Christ in the 1000 yr millineal reign.
"SAINTS" is not a technical word. During the tribulation, _MAAAAANY_ come to faith, and therefore would be labeled "saints". You seem to infer that only NT believers are referred to as "saints"...am I correct?
Rev 13:16 Mark of beast.
Revelation..A lifting of the veil to bring into view what is alreády there!
Symbolism & imagery play a significant role throughout the book.
"The mark of the beast" - the currency of sin-consciousness.
Rev 13:16 "Its mission WAS to mirror-imprint its character upon everyone's hands and minds in order to manipulate what they think and do".
So what is the mark of the beast all about 🤔 The Greek word translated mark, is the word "charagma", a stamp, an imprinted mark from "charax", just like in Hebrew 1:1-3.. the Son radiates the character of the Father. Either the character of the Father or the character of the fallen mind will influence our actions (hand), because it is what engages our thoughts (forehead).
Just like in Isaiah 55:8-11 where God says "Yr thoughts are not My thoughts; therefore yr ways are not My ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than yr ways and.. but My word will incarnate, and saturate earth (flesh) just like the rain and the snow cancel the distance between heaven and earth. Instead of the thorn, the fir and instead of the brier, the myrtle!

Kman's right. God said He'd pour out the Holy Spirit generously in the last days. Those are the ones being persecuted at that time.
@@Kman. wait a min... since Christ shed His blood on the cross the only way for anyone to he saved is to be in the one body of Jesus Christ which scripture states is the church. These saints per SOUND scripture are the church
In those 3 1/2 years there will be the 6th trumpet war .maybe before 3billion people will die the mark will be mandated millions more will die from starvation those who refuse the mark will be kill head chopped then the rapture will save those who remain we are now in a wicked time it's real close
When God decides its time
The account of John Darby was from a dream that a young girls had. When you examine the issue you find it was talking about Post Tribulation , not pre trib. So when you try to say that pre trib wasn't taught until 1850, that is wrong. Post trib wasn't taught until 1850. There are letters dating back to 160ad on the topic of pre trib rapture. Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Y'all might want to watch veidos coming out bout may 16 this yr.🤔😲
What do you mean. What videos?
Jesus plainly said that He would gather His elect upon His appearing in the clouds after the great tribulation. Read Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.
Agrees with Acts 1:9-11.
How could the 24 elders include the apostles if John was not dead?
Question: who will fulfill Revelation 18:6, if all saints are gone?
The unbelievers that became believers in the tribulation. They believed the preaching of the 144,000 Jews.
the only people who go to be with Christ before His second coming are those who die in Christ before He returns. those are the ones who return with Him, and those of us that remain will be caught up when Jesus returns.
The foundational doctrine from Hebrews 6 very closely associated with the discussion here of the rapture is the foundational doctrine of the resurrection of the dead. As it is foundational, I suggest learning this first. Plenty of scriptures about the resurrection of the dead.
What about the resurrection, on the last day?
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4:
■ "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4)
In bible school ,these 3 theories are being taught and should not be the cause of dissentients or grievances❤Let us all study the prophesy and Be ready for the coming of the Lord Jesus❤
Can you please give us a study on what the Millennium is, like what happens when JESUS come here and sets up his Kingdom. Will we be here with him?
The kingdom of God is not a geographic place we are going to 'enter' or something for the future, but 'is in the realm of the Holy Spirit filled with righteousness, peace and joy'. Rom 14:17
Due to the cross, we now can "experience the reality of God's kingdom realm". Luke 6:20
Jesus.. 'Before a person can perceive God's kingdom realm, they must first experience a rebirth'. John 3
Rebirth in the Greek can be translated 'from above'.
The Aramaic is 'born from the origin'.
The kingdom of God .. is not discovered in one place or another, for God's kingdom realm expanding within some of you'. Luke 17:21 (indeed not a geographic place!)
The kingdom of heaven is an awareness of Oneness. Aaron Abke.
Read Revelation 20.
It seems to me that the Bride of Christ mirror the Jewish customs of the marriage ceremony. Three phases. The betrothal agreement. The brides approval. The bridegroom’s return for His bride. No groom would pour out his wrath upon his own bride, just prior to the wedding ceremony. Makes no sense.
In my opinion. He loves her too much.
If the kingdom that Jesus is coming to is on earth what sense does it make that the Saints will be called up to come right back down?
Understand that this is when we are changed as we meet the Lord in the air...then the earth is cleansed of all wickedness. It does make sense! We aren't appointed to God's wrath! We are removed from this. Read Rev 14:14-20 it happens in a moment. Jesus teaches it in Matthew 24:29-31
I'm also a Pre-Trib
youre in for a surprise
Yes we should always be ready. The church is never referred to as a "he" in the bible. Paul told the church they would still be here till the Day of the Lord. I Thes 5:1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. (Paul would have told us if we were not going to be here for this event.) My take... We can say anything we want to say, but Paul and II Peter tell the church to be ready for the Day of the Lord. Sadly, I have to go with Paul and Peter even though it is not a popular doctrine. I do hope the Pretribulation doctrine is correct. It is just not in the bible. Remember Jesus said blessed is he who is not offended in me. I am concerned that we are setting up the people of God for a great offence once they realize they will be here till the day of the Lord. Lastly, the Wrath of God will not affect the church even if the church is here. The wrath of satan has always been directed at the church. If you don't get that confused you will understand. God is not delaying his coming, he knows exactly when it is.
Caught up (Greek Rapture αρπαγή (arpagi) means grab, grabbing, rapture, snatching), is used 3 times in the Bible =
2 Corinthians 12:2, Caught Up
1 Thessalonians 4:17, Caught Up
Revelations 12:5 Caught Up.
😢Man
What’s happens to all children under the age of understanding and those born during the rapture what happens to the children? Do they immediately go with Jesus?
What difference between tribulations and wrath,,tribulations from to theirs ennemis of God!!but the warps from to God against theirs ennemis.. tribulati ons always for the sons and daughters of God... .
I love it when people who teach false theology try and say the Scripture is not clear on a subject then just start inserting their presuppositions into the text. Revelation 12:7 tells you exactly who the restrainer is. It's not the Holy Spirit, and it's not Jesus, it's Michael. You are forced to interpret the restrainer as the Holy Spirit to justify imminence theology. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 is directly confronting the whole idea of imminence theology and calling it wrong. Paul goes so far as to say make sure no one is deceiving you. Meaning people will try and deceive you on this topic. You have to completely ignore very clear verse in order to buy into this whole lie of imminence. Just one example would be Rev 13:7. How can the beast make war with the saints and over come them if they are not here? Nope, we're not going to interpret scripture using clear verses, we're going to use vague statements like God has not appointed us to wrath. This is the same twisted logic that people try and use to get 3 days and nights from Friday evening till Sunday morning. Just basic logic and simple math, but nope we're just going to confuse people and do our own pagan thing.
