This guy, Mike Winger, Allen Parr, & Melissa Dougherty are seriously such a great help to me! I’m so thankful I finally found sound teaching.
Too bad they are idolaters worshiping the false triune god.
Winger is so humble,sincere, and knowledgeable.
I am so seriously sorry for your blindness as Christ said " they have not eyes and cannot see they have not ears and cannot hear " the only thing you can hear is what your itching ears want to hear ,I pray the Lord will give you ears ti hear and eyes to see that you can decern his truth! Amen
Winger denies the sovereignenty of Gods free will as opposed to mans free will! Chew on that really really chew ! Chew try Potters freedom read and chew enjoy
@@stevesosnick2638what are you even talking about…. ?
I am sad that I existed in a belief that was merely tradition. How can someone understand when the teachers themselves have deceived themselves.
Thankyou for giving your heart with the words of God. I have listened to many things you have said and if tears could fall from my heart they surely would.
My sadness is for Jesus, I’m sad I never understood who he was, his incredible strength and his love that there is no word beautiful enough to describe. He has pillaged my heart and is the fierce lion that takes what is his, because with tears of shame and heaviness I wanted him too. I want to be his, I don’t deserve the honour to be his possession though even the tiniest place in his heart for me is the only life I need.
Anton Domazet God bless you, don’t underestimate the love of our savior we are the reason He came to died for people like us
This was beautifully said!
Eloquent spirit
I agree. It's strange though. When I was an atheist I knew the bible better than when I came to God at first. As an atheist I read the Bible and scoffed at Christians who praised God but didn't understand that this judgement was already brought upon the covenant breakers. I mocked them for being ignorant.
When I came to Christ I went STRAIGHT into the hands of other Christians and they were pre-mil.
Once I went into a real phase of study I began to understand and see. I remembered these things. Then it all came together. The honest reading but this time WITH a submission to the Lord.
@@robertknight3354 Thank you for your awesome testimony!
If you grew up being taught a Pre-Trib Rapture and a future Great Tribulation with an Antichrist, this preaching will completely turn you into a Postmillenial Theologian! Thank you Pastor Jeff for your deep, scholarly research for this sermon !
No. It won’t. Because it’s false. There IS a future great tribulation with an antichrist coming, it’s VERY clear. No matter WHAT he tries to say. And that has nothing to do with any pre-trib rapture at all either way.
I do enjoy his teaching but it doesn’t change my position. I would love to talk with pastor Jeff personally and asks some questions to go further in depth with what I believe in comparison to what he teaches.
@louisybarra1277 you should see his 12 part series on Matthew 24. So helpful for me to hear it explained with so much Old testament scriptures.
Only if you don't know what the scripture really teaches...
@@cmyarbrough61
Which is ???
Antichrist rising ?
New World Order with cashless society?
Get the mark of the beast ?
Future Great Tribulation?
Many are still sticking to that traditional false eschatological theology. Pastor Jeff thank you for this
Actually, wouldn't Jeff's view be more traditional (i.e. more in line with church history)? I mean, I get you--literal interpretation of the biblical eschatalogy has been adopted (and some would say originated) by total loonies. But there are respectable Bible believing people who still think it's more in tune with the whole of Scripture.
You are right tho
What is the false teaching?
@@MJ-wi7oo: Depends who you ask...
@@MJ-wi7oo I would say preterism that Jeff is teaching, and futurism that mainstream churches teach are Jesuit false doctrine.
I would say Christian historicism (the staple of Protestantism for hundreds of years) is the correct way to understand bible prophecy.
You should prayerfully research the subject for yourself with a desire to believe only what is true, no matter where that leads.
thank u for these sermons on victorious eschatology. sometimes we look at the circumstances and not the Victorious Christ
1 Peter 5:8? the devil is very real and alive today in this world crime is rampant we have satanic religions and distress of nations, etc. is the lion lying down with the lamb? don't think so.. Romans 1, 11, 25-26... you cannot even obey the Lord's command to keep a watch till the lord comes back. Mathew 24:42. your Preterist views destroys the literal meaning of the Bible and destroys the promise of his second coming... it leaves the church to bring in the kingdom without the king! you think your defending the power of Christ when you ARE denying it... there's no heavenly kingdom without a king, that's Christ Jesus.. it was NOT all fulfilled in 70 AD... following that dangerous path of liberalism. your all deceived.. where's the king?? I pray these few groups of preterist people see the truth soon...
Amen, he picks and chooses certain versus to help support his point of view but then ignores the rest of scripture smh
So, were is the New Jerusalem that has come down from heaven. Why is there a sun if God and the Lamb will be the light of the New Jerusalem? Were is the final judgement of Satan? Why is there still sin if Revelation has been fulfilled? This leaves to many questions unanswered.
Yes it does, but that is because he was not dealing with those other questions in this sermon. Go to FB and ask Him your questions.
Endtimeprophecy777 This is an easy answer. As the Bible tells us, the New Jerusalem is we the church. John introduces the New Jerusalem as the lambs wife, a bride adorned. You’re then taking that literal so you take the need for a physical sun literal. The final judgement is yet to come after the millennium and at that point sin is eradicated and the eternal state begins. Easy answers to basic questions.
@@ericmillernow My point is this is not all in the past. there are events which still must take place.
Endtimeprophecy777 Correct, the final judgement and eternal state ensuing. But the New Jerusalem is not the new heaven and earth after the judgement. It’s the current bride of Christ. I’ve never heard him say that the final judgement has already happened
@@ericmillernow He didn't but, he is implying The Book of Revelation has already occurred. He is taking a purely preterist position. If not he would have stated that events in the past foreshadow the events which will take place in the future. Which he didn't.
This is so rich that I sent it to my husband a retired pastor. I ate every word like honey. Thank you Jeff.
Imagine not having been influenced by contemporary dispensational eschatology. Additionally, imagine that you are aware of OT messianic passages and are comfortable with apocalyptic literature. Finally, imagine that you are somewhat familiar with first century Israel and its social, political, and religious factors. Now you are ready to read John's Revelation and understand what it meant to first century Christians, for whom it was written. This is how proper biblical hermeneutics is done.
Absolutely. I swear, many Christians, especially here in the west, read the Bible like 21st century Christians. They fail to read it in the historical context of the first century readers. Revelation was written by John who was a Jew, and it was written to the Jewish followers of Jesus, and Revelation is filled with Jewish language, imagery, and symbolism everywhere that has direct ties to the Old Testament. We make up these crazy ideas of what we think the locusts are, what the horsemen are, etc. and we don't even ask the question: is this how the first century JEWISH followers of Jesus would've understood it as?
@@jacobgarcia4826 Ive heard people think the stings from those insects that kill were those Japanese giant wasps of today.
Once you come out og being a futurist you can never go back
This was so amazing. I will be listening and studying and listening some more, with all of this treasures in the Holy Scriptures!
God Bless you pastor Jeff. Thank you for being faithful and preaching the truth.
I SAY THIS WITH HUMILITY AND LOVE: Daniel 12:13 "But for you (Daniel), go your way until the end of your life; for you will rest and rise again for your allotted inheritance at the end of the age". Daniel has not arisen yet, so the end of age has not yet come. When Christ returns, the first trumpet will call the dead first 1 Thessalonians 4:16. Read. Do not lean to your own understanding.
Christen Ande Brown these things happened in the first century and are documented by Josephus and a few Roman historians that weren’t even believers and didn’t know what was happening when they recorded the events. Down to the trumpet....read War of the Jews by Josephus, it’s wild!
@@Flerftardia, hmmm...I do not see anything in "War of the Jews" declaring that Daniel rose from the dead. to receive his allotted inheritance.
Wouldn’t these verse be referring to the resurrection? Why would it mean just Daniel ?
Daniel Medrano you would need to watch the whole video to understand the context.
Amen I agree, none of the believers in Christ have risen yet and he has not returned yet either, Revelation has still not been fulfilled.
Man, God is speaking through you urging me to go to my local church. I’m a member of a church that I attended since I was very young. However, I haven’t been there in awhile and the Holy Spirit is speaking to my heart. Thank you, God bless you!
Did you go? Or just empty words?
@@BiglariProductions you by
I used to attend a small country church from my first Sunday on this earth. As a teen, I drifted. I didn’t end up going back seriously till I was 27 after the birth of my first child. A few years in, and now with two kids I wasn’t feeling as feed as I used to. I wasn’t able to grow anymore it felt like. So I stopped going for a few years. I could see a change in my children, and I realized what the cause was. It was about that time that my grandfather had passed. He was the senior pastor, and a close friend of mine. It really hurt me, so I stopped going all together. I went from proclaiming his word in public to strangers, to not opening my Bible for years. The kids ended up going to the church in the small town we lived in. I seen them growing in there faith, and it started to convict me. Out of curiosity I attended one Sunday service, and I can not explain the joy that filled me to every molecule in my body. We ended up moving a few miles away over the hill to the next town. It was there that the new neighbor came to welcome us, and said if you were looking for a new church since you moved, you could come with us SOME Sunday. Didn’t push for the next Sunday, rather they said it a few times, SOME SUNDAY! Well I ended up getting convicted and went that Sunday. It was the second best decision I ever maid. Now I’m not comparing myself to Jesus, not in the least. I did feel like Jesus did though in the fact that he wasn’t taken seriously in his hometown, so he left. Now I can say that if I’m not working on Sunday, I attend in person. If I am working, I catch the livestream. What I’m trying to say is sometimes it’s good to change a venue. I don’t know you, same way you don’t know me. Just consider finding a different church that teaches the word of God. Sometimes we stop going for unseen reasons. I hope you have found a place to worship with like minded believers.
There’s a soul winner’s crown waiting for this dude. Props and tearful gratitude from Washington, DC.
Revelation.
Pastor Jeff...Love your Heart and being humble. We are brothers in Christ nd we hold hand, but as you said fight over things..lol. I do agree with you on Matthew 24 is for the Jews, however, I think you are throwing Hermeneutic out the Window with Pre tribulation. II Thessalonians 2: 3 for that Day will NOT come unless the falling away come first, and the man of sin is revealed. All versions of the Bible before the King James interpret this taking away, instead of falling away. Yes, Jesus will take away the Church and the AntiChrist will be revealed. He has Not appointed us to Wrath. You have to believe in this or you BELIEVE in Replacement Theology. Meaning the CHURCH takes the place of ISRAEL, which is foreign to SCRIPTURE. You are confusing passage of ISRAEL with the Church. QUESTION?? Pastor Jeff...is ISRAEL still under Judgment? The ANSWER is Yes...they Reject his Kingdom and he grafted the Church in...and Jesus said until you say Blessed is HE who comes in the Name of the Lord and they realize they Reject HIM. Which will NOT happen until the Middle of the Tribulation period. Sorry...John wrote Revelation on the isle of Patomos which didn't happen until after A.D. 90. Love and prayers for you my Brother in CHRIST!
Do you have proof of or a source for a 90AD (or later) date for the writing of Revelation?
The writing of 90 ad or after of Revelation shows much has not yet been fulfilled of the book. I would like to hear a response about this. I believe there is a lot more to come and there are many sitings that claim Revelation was written after 70 ad. A google search for valid sitings can shows this. I do believe we are supposed to be about discipleship and living our lives for the King now, no matter what.
The strongest source for a late dating of the book of Revelation is in Irenaeus’ book Against Heresies and even that claim has issues.
Issues with the late dating:
Against Heresies 5:30:3
“We will not, however, incur the risk of pronouncing positively as to the name of Antichrist; for if it were necessary that his name should be distinctly revealed in this present time, it would have been announced by him who beheld the apocalyptic vision. For it (he) was seen no very long time since, but almost in our day, towards the end of Domitian's reign.”
"Several church fathers indicate that Domition was emperor when John wrote Revelation. All of them, however, seem to base their information on the testimony of Irenaeus" (Revelation, p.17)
"The meaning of Irenaeus' statement has been debated. What was seen toward the end of Domition's reign? Was it the vision which John "beheld"? or was it the apostle himself, who was "seen... face to face" by those who testify? The phrase "it was seen..." may be a corruption of an original that read, "He was seen..." If this is true, then it only proves that John lived into the reign of Domition, though he may have written the Apocalypse much earlier."
"Those who originally translated Irenaeus' work into English complained of the poor condition of the manuscript evidence for his work. They wrote: 'The great work of Irenaeus, now for the first time translated into English, is unfortunately no longer extant in the original. It has come down to us only in an ancient Latin version, with the exception of a greater portion of the first book, which has been preserved in the original Greek, through means of the copious quotations made by Hippolytus and Epiphanius. The text, in both Latin and Greek, is often most uncertain."
"Since the text is admittedly "uncertain" in many places, and the quotation in question is known only from a Latin translation of the original, we must not place too high a degree of certainty upon our preferred reading of the statement of Irenaeus."
"Earlier in the passage, Irenaeus refers to "all the.. ancient copies" of Revelation. This presupposes that that the book had been around a good long while before this statement was written. If there were "ancient copies," was not the original more ancient still? Yet, in Irenaeus estimation, the time of Domition's reign was not considered to have been very ancient history, for he speaks of it as "almost in our day." How could Irenaeus speak of ancient copies" of a work the original of which has been written "almost" in his own time?"
"With reference to his mention of Domition's reign, there are grounds for believing that Irenaeus was speaking of the time of John's last being seen by the brethren, rather than the time of John's having seen the apocalyptic vision."
There are near and far prophecies in Scripture. There is no way the literal millennial reign has happened or is happening. There has been no global peace on the earth since creation. Jesus ruling from Jerusalem will be the only way the earth will have peace. We can agree that faith in Jesus is the only way to Life.
@@ryangallmeier6647 Hello! Is there a place that you can refer me to go in order to study Historicism further regarding this topic?

This message has blessed me greatly! Thank you!!!
Did you mean the "last Adam"(1 Corinthians 15) not "second Adam" second Adam is not found in the Bible... But I can see what you meant.
I am undone........! To rest in the revelation of scripture revealed is liberating. Thank you again Jeff for your faithful service both to the Lord and his Holy scriptures.
Amen to all of that!
I love you guys. You go above and beyond every video. I hope one day I can be as skilled in sharing the gospel as you are. Could you give me any advice?
I agree these guys are great.
Study the Word, learn from the Word and godly men and Pray, pray, pray... God bless you wherever He wants to put you for His glory.
Follow a Church that began say 2019 years ago instaed of one that started in in the year 1530 or 1960. The Roman Catholic Church is the 1 True Church.
Please listen to Scott Hahn and the real definition the Book of Revelation - this is what the Early Church Fathers thought of this book IT IS THE MASS "THE LAMB"S SUPPER" The Heavenly Jerusalem ruclips.net/video/IH8rHVb2vJw/видео.html
@@andybarnick3006 the first true church are the laodicean chirch and they are the lukewarm church..
@@andybarnick3006 Sorry Andy, but the RCC began in the 300s via King Constantine. You need to read history. The RCC is not Christian, only as the lost world views it. Some of the people within are members of God's family, as deceived as they are by the organization RCC. The word Church means: Called out group of people. One must receive the Call direct from God via hearing the Gospel. Do you know what the Gospel is?
2 Thessalonians 2:3
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;
Thank you for a great message. It defiantly is causing me to rethink my ideas on prophecy.
Thank you Brother Jeff for being yielded to the Lord! I need to pray and study more fervently. I was looking at Revelation all wrong and allowing others instead of scripture shape my understanding of scripture. Thank you Lord for opening my eyes to more of Your truth!!
He is a good preacher like anyone else but it does not mean he is accurate. How does he explain this verse, Daniel 9:24
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Sin is still the order of the day and as I see it, it’s worse now than any generation. This can’t go on forever, the great tribulation is still to come. Christ’s kingdom can’t co-exist with the devil.
I agree. His sermon is spot on for most. I believe our God is the same yesterday, today, as well as tomorrow. In the old testament there were multiple fullfilments of scripture and feel there are multiple fullfilments of these verses as well as the book of revelation.
The Roman emperor who banished John was Titus Flavius who ruled from AD 81 to AD 96. John might have wrote Revelation around that time however the destruction of the temple was AD 70. That was persecution of Christians. The great tribulation will humble the Jews and make them look up to Jesus.
Just a friendly word on this for your own edification, @@godfreyhoward8269. Historians are still debating who banished John. God bless you.
Yes, from the beginning of Genesis 1st page, 1st line starts with Jesus and the old testament ends with Jesus is coming. The book is all about him! Every page in the bible is about Jesus....Jesus took the hand full of dirt/dust and formed Adam! Verse 3, Let there be light! God didn't create light until the forth day! But Jesus is the Light of the World.
As a Christian I have committed myself to serving Jesus right now immediately... and throughout all eternity, no matter the circumstances apocalyptic or otherwise so if revelation indeed describes future events, BRING IT
It doesn't though. That is what he just explained.
It's already begun. Covid marks the 1st horseman. Start learning how to FAST (humans were never supposed to need 3 meals a day - its just serves big agro and medical industry). You'll be better suited to make it through the coming famine. Be blessed.
🙏🙏🙏
This is so clear and logical! It is hard to "unlearn" the false teachings that the premillennial dispensationalists have sown in my brain like bad seeds... Is the next thing to come Jesus' return and Judgment, without any prelude to watch out for (antichrist, great tribulation, etc.)?
I think alot of people in the comments that disagree with Jeff don't want to know the truth, because they'd rather accept some form of default teaching they've clung on to since they were young.. Even when Jeff takes facts and pushes their meaning infront of your face, you'd still rather deny it than take it as biblical truth
It's a victim mentality. People identify as victims of their oppressors and are afraid to give up that identity.
More people need to teach their children self defense
Can someone tell me what apologia's end time views are so i can look it up? Are they post millenlal? From this video I think I understood that they think the book of revelations already happened and that there is no mark of the beast, So whats next? So is there a end times in there view? Or are we just trying to conquer the culture and then Jesus will come? I dont get it.
Victor Rene
It looks like nobody was even interested in answering your question. Apologia Church is view is Post Millennial, Partial Preterist. They believe most of the book of Revelation was fulfilled in the 1st century but not all of it. The Post Millennial view is not that church will be defeated throughout history but the Gospel will succeed in every facet of life and that by the time Jesus comes back most of the world will be under the dominion of the Kingdom of God through the preaching of Gospel and transforming nations from the inside out. This is the Eschatological view that many saints had throughout history. When Christians of old would go into a nation they would deem it as already belonging to God and would fulfill the great commission by discipling the nations therein.
@@choicemeatrandy6572 the randy couture?
@@J.F.331 excellent explanation.
So much clarity on these things, I have ALWAYS struggled with what these mean. Will reread Revelation and OT books with new lenses, thank you for posting these!!!
Jeff is wrong about Revelations. He isn't an authority on this aspect of God's word. It's not his fault, It was God's choice for it to be that way. The Beast is not Rome, the beast is the "one Satan uses to deceive the whole world" (this deception quote is near the end of rev). Has anyone deceived the whole world, ever? No.
Don't misunderstand me, just because Jeff wants to believe he is right doesn't mean he is not correct about the majority of what his ministry teaches. His apologetics, i.e. Worldview supposition argumentation is correct. His view of Rev. came from "other people". One can only have an understanding in regard to these subjects by it being an innate gift from God. Most of the symbolic verses in rev. are not meant to be dissected and parsed out like Jeff has been taught. There are aspects of Rev. no one will ever know, it's planned that way by God. A lot of what Rev. discusses is being spoken to those people already in the other life. They are souls or in spirit.
This following verse is separated from any connection to the prior message to the church discussed before it. It should be obvious because it says "churches".
Rev. 2--11 "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt at all by the second death."
If this message is being heard by people whose bodies have died, i.e. the first death. then the messages are being given to those who are already souls, spirits only...etc. They haven't suffered the second death. death of the soul, which is eternal condemnation.

"But you, oh MOUNTIANS of Israel, shall shoot forth your BRANCHES and yield your FRUIT to my people Israel, for they will SOON come home." Ezekiel 36:8
This was my reading after this video! 😂 Noticed all the words in one verse. Awesome
The key to your Matthew verse is until- or till ye say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. That's when they would see him in the second coming. When they repent and call on him whom they pierced. You shall not see me henceforth till, he say blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. Romans 11 makes it clear that this will occur at the end of the Gentile age then all Israel will be saved.
No. NO. Just no. While I appreciate your work in apologetics, when you say Revelation is historic, you are doing a grave disservice to both believers and unbelievers who watch this sermon. That book is END TIMES prophecy.
I don't understand. If these things already took place why do I not remember a one world government existing back in those days. Also if this is the 1000 years of bliss we are in, it sure doesn't feel like Satan is bound up. I'm getting really confused and frustrated now. The matthew 24 I understand because it does say all these things will come to past is this generation. Meaning the generation he was speaking to. But other things are not making sense. I don't remember a third of the earth being destroyed either. Jeff can you help me understand? It's very disappointing that there are so many believers with drastic interpretations. I wish the bible was easier to understand. There shouldn't be this much different interpretations in my opinion.
You look too young for a grandchild! I love your sermons. It's great on a daily basis when not in Church ... Stamford Landmark Baptist Church. They are so wonderful and I'm in discipleship with the pastor's wife :)
I love that you minister to so many people about Salvation. But I believe YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND the Book of Revelation. You quote verses like Rev 3:7 but don't read all of it. IT CLEARLY SAYS God is talking about THE WHOLE EARTH, not just JERUSALEM. Please pray for God to open your EYES AND EARS, and loose the pride that WE ALL struggle with.
I am a life-long believer in Christ, since the age of 4 when I prayed with child's faith to receive salvation. I've been a passive Baptist for most of my life, with short seasons of renewal but quickly becoming distracted. In the past few weeks, God has stirred a hunger in my soul for truth and knowledge of Him through Scripture. I am drawn to know it like never before, and to seek the fellowship and fullness of God's authority in my life that I've taken for granted. I've consumed several hours of these sermons this week, and I love how it doesn't satisfy me to simply hear them - they drive me into the Word! Thank you Apologia Church and Pastor Jeff for sharing these teachings from the Word of God.
Man this is so good! I really hope you guys listen to the points that he made here because I believe that the culture is dead wrong about the Book of Revelation. Listen expecially to the points about the mountain being thrown into the sea. Let the Bible interpret the Bible because it comes from God and ultimately we are confused.
In thier day words meant something. Had one perfect meaning undistorted and a man's word held true
I can’t help but notice a bunch of you guys getting upset with Jeff on his stance on the “mark of the beast”. Lets consider the context before your conquest to subject us to a literal Mark of the beast. From the readers perspective, are we certain this means a physical mark? And if we do still believe in a physical mark, then what about the 144,000 of Israel that are sealed on their foreheads (Rev 7, 1-8). Are we also supposed to be looking for this physical manifestation? I can not say I have ever heard anybody say they are looking out for the RFID chip or mark for Israel. I have honestly pictured the mark of the beast to be a physical marking, but I’m afraid I’ve have gotten most of my understanding from
sci-fi movies or Pureflix (Christian Netflix 👎🏻👎🏻). Truth be told the spiritual and eternal implications are as, if not more important to draw from the text. #ThanksChristianCinema
I was raised Pre Trib and do think it will be a literal mark that allows you to buy and sell, and with chip technology and our ever increasing digital economy, it does look like the pieces are falling in place and the technology required for such a feat is on the way.
But Jeff does lay out a good case for Post Trib.
At the end of the day we are supposed to love God, love Neighbor, preach the Gospel. Eschatology isn't a salvation issue at the end of the day. I usually go through a phase of a few days listening to all kinds of debates and conversations, then figure there's more important issues to educate myself about and back off for a while. Then I get interested again (usually bc of Jeff lol)
@@MansterBear I just listened to this from the “cookie “ sermon. Do you think the “cookie” is the mark? Or tied to it?
Love these messages! Is there any way we can get an order of the messages on this and also your end times messages? Having a hard time finding part one for this. If someone can provide the link please do. Thank you!
@ApologiaStudios, do you have a blog where this look at Revelation would be written down? I'd love to share this in writing to my pre-trib friends.
Jesus: I go to prepare a place for you (John 14:3)
Post Mil: The Church will prepare a place for Him
Question: When we read scripture, is the return of Jesus described as a peaceful event where Jesus is welcomed back to Earth to conduct the Final Judgment and usher in the eternal state by a mostly "Christianized" world, or do we read of the return of Jesus as a violent and bloody event where the Son of God goes to war against His enemies and includes the rescue of Israel (Zech 12-14, Rev 19) ??
Got the chance to meet Pastor Jeff. Such a humble saint. God bless your family and yourself Pastor Jeff 💕🙏🏻
Christian Camargo Aww.. you lucky!
I’m in Australia and I keep missing him because I never know when or where he’s coming. I’d love to meet him, it would be an honour!
He's no saint, but a pastor.
The High Priest will see Jesus return in the clouds. The HP was alive in the 1st century.
Wow! That was THE most powerful message I’ve ever heard! I pray it blesses you as well!
To understand what Jeff is teaching please watch Dr. Kenneth Gentry's teaching on RUclips called "The beast of Revelation". This interpretation of eschatology is called Partial Preterism. Most Christians today have been raised and taught to believe Dispensationalist view of the end times. This was not a common view on the end times before 1830.
what's the differences between preterist and post millenialist?
@@MansterBear Preterist believe that all prophecy has happened as per the destruction of Jerusalem and temple...made up by the jesuits. Post millenialist believes in Historicist interpretations as much of Revelation has happened already. Try reading Matthew Henry or Matthew Poole commentaries for the book of Revelation.
Lauren Limebrook thank you!
Full Preterism is what your talking about. Partial Preterism is the same as Post Millennialism. Full Preterism is widely viewed as false and heresy.
Does Dr Gentry talk about the second coming of Christ? When He descends upon the earth? Also, regarding a 1000 year reign of Christ... I'd love to hear a talk on that.
Dope message pastor Jeff, very thought provoking
The End times are past times.
LOVE 💕 this sermon thank you 😊 oh how I wish that I lived near Apologia church and I could attend. God Bless you guys and please continue to post these videos!
Me too!!
Where does it say in the Bible you must go to church? I’m not trying to start an argument of any kind, but.. I don’t think it clearly gives you a command to be in church. It does say to fellowship with each other. But that’s not church. We are fellowshipping right now on RUclips. If I’m wrong please correct. Again asking with utmost respect for this ministry.
I have talked with Jeff Durbin personally, as I am a member of Apologia, and I have asked him that same question too. He said, "Although there may not be any specific verse or passage that commands us to be in a local church, the assumption all throughout the New Testament is that if you're a Believer then you're apart of a local body of Believers, aka a local church.
What about Rev. 8??? 9?? What about the 1000 yr, reign, so where are we in time.
It is totally absurd to interpret the Book of Revelation as having been fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. It is clearly talking about destruction on the wicked of the entire earth, as well as unbelieving Jews who are alive at that time. Isaiah also talks about the "Day of the Lord" as relating to God judging the wicked of the entire earth. The "mark of the beast" has to do with commerce and a coming cashless society: Revelation 13:17 "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." God surely knew what technology would develop in the world. Those who take the mark will be declaring their loyalty to the Antichrist (the beast) instead of being faithful to Jesus Christ.
He is dismissing passages that clearly have literal meaning and "twisting scripture" to the extreme. Flee this man!
Give me one scripture that suggests an Antichrist giving code numbers. I bet u,you will only quote the book of revelation
@@TheGospelAssociates There is nothing that says the Antichrist gives a code number.
Revelation is the only book that mentions a system of commerce requiring a "mark" on the forehead or hand. The Bible identifies the Antichrist with the numbers 666. It does not say that this is a "code" he uses. Revelation 13:18 "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." The word mark in Greek implies something piercing the skin. The verse describes the mark as being "in" the forehead or hand, not "on": Revelation 14:9 "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand." Many believe it might be an implant under the skin, a tiny capsule or chip read by RFID. This technology is already available though it is not widely used right now. They can put chip implants in pets so they don't get lost. That something is mentioned only in one place in the Bible in no way makes it untrue.
@@beaulin5628 Here's the problem with you're interpretation of the mark being a literal mark, or chip, or whatever. Throughout Revelation, we see believers "marked" with the seal of God on their foreheads. Unless you take this literally too, I think it's much more accurate to assume the mark is a symbol of who you belong to and serve. Either the world systems or Christ.
@@merecatholicity I agree that the meaning of the mark is primarily a symbol of who you belong to, and this is primarily a spiritual mark applied by God. But, Revelation describes a system of commerce coming on the earth at some point that will be controlled by the Antichrist. Already we are far along towards a cashless society implemented by technology. Banks and government want this so they can observe, control, monitor, and tax all transactions. It is likely that when this world dictator appears he will require that all people worship him in order to participate in commerce. Even now, you will be censored from social media if you express ideas that are not considered "politically correct". People are being fired from their jobs for comments on Facebook and Twitter that do not conform to "required norms" set by totalitarian technocrats and their secret Masters. The spiritual mark by God is not said to be in the "hand". The cell phone in your hand can be scanned at the super market for coupons. Why not to pay? Computer chips are already being implanted IN people and pets for identification. Paying by scanning your hand will assure your money can't be stolen and it certifies your indentity. The trend for body piercing is conditioning humanity to accept an implanted chip. They will love it. The mark will not be implemented until the Antichrist takes power but the technology is already there. They ones who belong to the Lord Jesus Christ will reject this mark of loyalty to the Antichrist dduring the Tribulation because they will understand what it is and they will suffer the consequences, just like the first Christians which refused to worship Caesar and were killed by various Roman Emperors.
I just stumbled across this video and I am glad to see that I'm not the only one to react with scepticism to what this pastor is saying! I know that the disagreement is not a salvation issue, but I find it disturbing nevertheless.
If the events in the book of revelation have already happened in the first century, the mark of the beast connected to trade is not the only problem, but also Rev 13:15, that must have been one cool picture in 70AD that came to life and spoke, almost two millennias before holograms!
No, sorry guys, now I'll head out into the New Earth and tell people that this virus hysteria needs to stop because since 70AD there is no more death or tears, and tell my neighbor to sell his boat because there hasn't been a sea in 1950 years.
To Jeff:
I came upon your channel when I got a "recommended" video on my feed from pastor Anderson. Now I used to be subscribed to him before when I became a prodigal daughter. But something felt off about him and I did some digging. I found him to be murderous of heart back then (I dunno if he still is that way today, but I pray to God he isn't) as he spoke of genocide to homosexuals. I ceased all viewing to his channel.
Coming back to the present, I didn't know who you were when he was bashing you and I got curious. So, I checked out your channel and some videos and discerned that you are NOT at all what Anderson has portrayed you to be. Quite the opposite, actually. Thank God for you and Thank God for peeking my curiosity so that I would find your videos! God used an evil thing for good!
Christine Cross so cool how God works!!! So hey you said you where a prodigal daughter? I take it your back home now?!!? Yay!!!! So awesome! Praise the Lord
@@radicallyrescued8187 Yes, it's good to be home and not see it only afar off.
Amen to that. Praise The Lord.
@Marc Bazuin
You can listen to Anderson and the slanderous lies that this young lady is talking about...and like it?
Exactly what is there to like??
gay bashing, etc...yelling and screaming insultingly and profanely about "those sinners" from a "pulpit".
Now compare that to Jeff Durbin's demeanor, and examine the Presence of the Spirit in one and the absence of it in the other. You can go on any secular show and listen to the same nonsense the Anderson spits out.. especially atheist shock jocks.
Hopefully (for you) you're in a growing phase.
@@scottcarter1689 Anderson doesn't believe in the total depravity of man,therefore,he believes that there was something better in believers, of themselves, than the unbeliever.
Beautifully and wonderfully executed brother durbin, it is so powerful and ah inspiring when our Lord and our God's Word is rightfully handled
you are a preterist ??
I know right? I was shocked by that too!
I thank the Lord for blessing me with these videos. Praise God!
Concerning the mark of the beast I believe there is a spiritual and a physical symbolism to everything in God's word even the temple let me know what you think.
Steve Pisaro Exactly there is always a physical aspect to worship.I believe Jeff is sincere but is ignoring current trends in the financial system.

Deuteronomy 6 spells out that it is spiritual
@@bucsfan2565 Deuteronomy 6 spells out that we are to follow God's commands and remember Him and teach Him to our children and to contemplate on His statute's always night and day. This is Good advise for our own well being and so we may receive the promise of his land. When I was speaking of the temple being physical and spiritual I meant man has built temples to his specs., but we are His temple He built with His design that He dwells in on the earth now. Obviously He joins with those that want to. We will I believe have Gods mark or the beasts. Both physical and spiritual in and on our temple.
If our soul(spirit) is energy it than can be changed to stay Gods or become something other than His creation. We are moving into an era where we are again learning how to manipulate all things.
What a precious study. Really drawing out of the text what I didn't understand before.
I like this message. It is a perspective I haven't heard before, but @ the 1:23:00 mark he said Rome represents Mystery Babylon, the Harlot. And there I must stop and disagree. That is the first mistake. Jerusalem is Mystery Babylon. Jeff was consistent up until that point. I like Jeff, but there I must disagree. Chris White has wrote a book that takes away the guesswork on the identity of Mystery Babylon and it is thorough and it has many confirmations in scripture directly related to the temple in Jerusalem. I'm a futurist, so I think there are things that were certainly fulfilled. However there are some things that are yet future. The books name is 'Mystery Babylon: When Jerusalem Embraces The Antichrist' by Chris White. He is gifted and pinpoint accurate in his exegesis of scripture. I suggest reading some of his works. He has a different take than most but is humble and honest enough to admit when he doesn't know something. I respect Jeff, but I am not sold on Preterism.
@@curtbrockhaus6131 Are you serious? Are you joking?
@@curtbrockhaus6131 ruclips.net/video/6njV-VS-7GQ/видео.html
You misunderstood what he said. He said that the harlot (aka mystery babylon, i.e., Jerusalem) was riding a seven headed, ten horned beast, which is Rome. He said that Rome is the seven headed, ten horned beast.
The Lord said: Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
He’s speaking about the generation that SEES all of the things mentioned that he was speaking about. There WILL be a future great tribulation and there WILL be a man of sin, an antichrist. Period. End of debate. Revelation is very clear on that. This guy does not understand “already but not yet” theology at all.
@@dazdavis7896lol ok
Yup, when Christ said this generation, He didn’t mean a 21st century generation 2000 years in the future, lol..
How did the first century believers know baptism (by being submerged) was right by looking to the OT? They would have demanded OT passages ( to the law and to the testimony). Could it be that your hermeneutical presuppositions have a problem?
29:29 I died 😂😂
Jeff...do you offer a written teaching on this subject?
I have watched many of your videos on it and cant seem to go back and find them to get verse references...i am just coming out of dispensationalism and am very intrigued by this teaching and the Lord is answering my prayer thru you brother!
i am confused, is pastor jeff saying that the book of revelation is already fulfilled ? That when Rome invaded jerusalam in 70AD that was the last prophecy fulfilled ? that the harlot is riding the beast is Rome rev 19 ? Then my other question what about the 2 witness and the 144, what about Jesus wiping all tears away ?i don't see this happing in Rome of the past?
The book of Revelation is basic a compilation of the OT prophecies. But i disagree with him on this one. There are many things that are not fullfiled yet (Revelation 1:19), esspecially Jesus Christ returning, 1000 years kingdom and of course, the end of this world.
As is written in the book of Hebrews 2:8, not all things are submited to Him, but at the end ot will be. I do not believe that he teaches JW doctrines of Jesus returning though...
And the new tehnologies that are coming will influence human behaviour. Even with this tehnology we have we can see the influence it has on the human behaviour (effects of the social networks for example. Does not affect those things our relantionship with Christ?)

That is why we must take Bible and praying in serious to hold fast to the Lord who can save us.
1 Thessalonians (5:23)
I fully believe that Rome is that woman on the beast, and I see the catholic church raising its head again soon enough. Ever since the reformation, the Pope's have been working to get the world in their hand again. The present goal for the present Pope every year has been working on getting men of authority from all nations and religions to draw near and join with him. I find that to be a significant thing, especially if this Pope is a jesuit.
@@michaeljester6073 Book of Revelation is the prophetic history of the church, the whole church age. Much has happened already but of course not all. Maybe in the 6th vial/bowl right now. Historicist interpretation
@Andrew Brown The prophecies are supposed to be interpreted using scripture proving scripture....that is, for knowing what the symbolism is and what the allegory means. Using scripture always to prove, not the things which are happening in the world. THE Puritans have a lot right in their commentaries because they stck to biblical principles. You are wrong because the book of Revelation was meant for God's servants, to be known and understood. It is all allegory which is like a word picture to describe what is coming about, like a painting to describe it all. Those references to heaven do not literally mean "heaven" but spiritual things or godly, holy things or even the church etc. Allegory, look it up and see the definition. The papacy is the anti-christ.
I believe that Jeff is interpreting the disobedient portion of the Jewish community and the Priests who rejected Christ as the "woman on the beast," @@michaeljester6073. The beast would be Rome. In Daniel it says that the beasts are kingdoms. I hope this helps.
That may be true...but the very next verse reads
Deuteronomy 6:8-9
[8]And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
[9]And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
So he was referring to writing in this verse.
lol, ya stop complaining about the length of my sermons, I don't care what you say that's funny right there
1:20:00 oh Jeff, you make me cry with awe and thanksgiving!!🙌🏼 ✝️♥️🙏🏻🌬️
most excellent. illuminating. i'll have to check out witness to mormons.
Great sermon Jeff, but please get to your point. You dont have to repeat yourself 5 times.
Unfortunately I have not come across a biblical church to get plugged into locally. It is such a shame they all spread lies none that I have encountered have told truth or preached the word of God. It's always a feel-good sermon I can watch those on TV.
So appreciate your introduction and encouragement to be involved in local church! It’s so right.
I'm so confused when it come to rev no one seems to know what this book is about I think Jeff is so good and then when it comes revaluation he is out to lunch I just seem to be getting some where with the book and people who believe this it's so confusing. Why can't we the church figure this book out so many different views on this book I'm to the point of not wanting to read it enymore ? I get it somewhat what most people believe but I think I should stay with sound doctrine and be conformed to the image of Christ
Rev 1 and 2 are easily understood, after that the prophesy is quite cryptic, only the holy spirit can give us understanding if it is God's will.
I agree with Jeff on his interpretation, it is Post Millennialism and Partial Preterism. To understand this better check out Dr. Kenneth Gentry and his teaching on RUclips called "The beast of Revelation".
eschatology, while something okay to study, is a secondary issue. There are much more important things to dedicate yourself to before obsessing over Revelation and predicting the future. I like it every so often but at the end of the day you can't go wrong by loving God, loving Neighbor, and spreading the gospel.
You have to just trust the Holy Spirit. Job 32:8 kjv John 14:26 kjv 1John 2:27 John 16:13 kjv.
You can understand the book.

I have a local church but I have been taking care of my older dog that has cancer, so I can’t leave her alone and have been watching your videos as a sermon supplement. You are a blessing.
The orthodox jews interpret the mark on the head and hands very literally. They therefore bind a text of scripture in a black box literally to their head and arm with a leather band. The Tefillin or Phylacteries.
I have some inquiries. There is a lot of emphasis on the Jews, Christian Jews, who? Them? (Not us), however when he reads over “all the world” quickly half’s over it and does not make emphasis on it? I was wondering why? I know Abba judged Jerusalem and the killers of the Martyrs, I agree with many things, however why when I read Revelation and Old Testament prophesy I still see “the whole world”, “third of the earth”, “world”. What about 2Peter 3 - what about the Day of the Lord? Isn’t what for the wicked and ungodly? Not just for the Jews?
I hope some one can help 😊 thanks 🙏
REVELATION 21.
If Jesus returned 2,000 years ago then where is new Jerusalem? We are supposed to reign with Christ for 1000 years. Revelation 21 is not a metaphor because God wishes to be with his children again. The entire gospel is about restoration, and that is not complete until we are with him again. This is our ultimate hope.
Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
This did not come to pass in 70 AD.
Amazing Pastor Jeff, I only feel different about one thing...I think the silence in Revelation 8 is representing Gods heart being troubled knowing the hard but just judgement is coming.
Multiple Second Coming Visions in Revelation: (book not in chronological order )
Christ returns one time in the future. However, there are several different visions of His return shown from different perspectives in the Book of Revelation.
Christ returns at the end of Revelation chapter 6, with signs in the sun, moon, and stars, as are found in the Olivet Discourse.
Those at the end of the chapter are hiding from the wrath of the Lamb.
Why would they be hiding if Christ is not present?
The "kings", "captains", "might men", "free", and "bond" are also found in chapter 19 at the return of Christ.
He returns at the 7th trumpet, which is the last trumpet in the Bible, and the time of the judgment of the dead in Revelation 11:15-18.
The beginning of chapter 12 is a history lesson containing the fall of Satan, and the birth and death of Christ, who is the seed promised to crush the head of Satan in Genesis 3:15.
The Second Coming is found in the "harvest" of chapter 14, which is related to the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew chapter 13.
He comes as a thief at Armageddon, and we find the greatest earthquake in history in chapter 16. This occurs when the 7th angel pours out his vial. How powerful is an earthquake which moves islands and destroys the mountains? What is happening to the planet?
He comes on a horse in chapter 19.
Chapter 20?
Does He come with the fire, and the judgment of the dead at the end of chapter 20, which agrees with what Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, and 2 Timothy 4:1?
(The time of the judgment of the dead is also found in Revelation 11:18.)
There are no mortals left alive on the planet at the end of Matthew 25:31-46.
Why does an angel come down from heaven with a key to unlock the bottomless pit in Revelation 9:1-2, if the pit was not already locked before that time? Are there wicked angels in the pit in Rev. 9:11? If the beast "ascends" from the pit in Rev. chapter 11, where was the beast before that time?
Does your view agree with Peter in 2 Pet. 2:4, and Jude in Jude 1:6, when they both said wicked angels are already in chains of darkness?
Revelation 9:14 proves some of the angels were previously bound in some manner.
Because the two witnesses were bodily resurrected from the dead in Revelation 11, the "first resurrection" at the beginning of Revelation 20 is not the first bodily resurrection in the book.
The principle of "Recapitulation" means there are multiple visions of His return.
=========================================
New Covenant Whole Gospel:
What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. What brings all local churches together into one Body under the blood of Christ? The answer is found below.
Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him.
He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth.
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? What did Paul say about Genesis 12:3 in Galatians 3:8? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis?
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, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart.
Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36)
We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18. We are come instead to the New Covenant church of Mount Zion and the blood in Hebrews 12:22-24.
1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
The following verses prove the Holy Spirit is the master teacher for those now in the New Covenant.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Mar 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Act 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Watch the RUclips videos “The New Covenant” by David Wilkerson, or Bob George, and David H.J. Gay.
How do you explain
“But understand this, that in the last days dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear]. For people will be lovers of self [narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money [impelled by greed], boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane, [and they will be] unloving [devoid of natural human affection, calloused and inhumane], irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of self-control [intemperate, immoral], brutal, haters of good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of [sensual] pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people and keep far away from them.”
2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5 AMP
This is clearly happening right before our eyes! Prophecy is being fulfilled! When have we ever removed We have never had a time such as now!
-Abortion
-God out of schools and soon government
-homosexuality taking over our rights
-shootings
-rise in Christian persecution
Narcissism like never before
So thankful to hear Jeff preach on the book of revelation. I was so invested in end times books as a new Christian about 15 years ago. This eschatology rocked my traditions. Let us not be divided as a body. If you have a belief on the end times that differs from this. That’s okay, I urge you to study, and draw closer to Gods word. His Lordship is a game changer in understanding all of this for me. He is victorious, we are redeemed. Hold fast to that truth.
ArielMinistries.Org is a great study resource. On their web page they have a heading called, Come and See. This in-depth study will take you through the Old Testament to the Book of Revelation grounding you in what the Bible is teaching concerning history present-day and Future work of of the father through the Son and Holy Spirit. This is a free study course with Tests and a certificate from Ariel that you have completed the course. You will have a grounding in the word of God that is deeper than most Theological Seminary students are getting.
And it says what it will be like on Jesus return. Also it says i have came in my fathers name and me you would mot recieve but one will come in his own name and him you will recieve.
Good teaching. But at Pentecost those speaking "in tongues" did not preach the gospel. They spoke of the wonderful works of God. They were praising God, not explaining anything. The gospel was preached by Peter after that in his own language, which they all knew.
We are in the last days brother...and have been for 2000 years....
If that were true the Bible should have called it “the last years.”
@@brad8448 argue with The WORD(Jesus).... we have been in the last days since Jesus' first coming....Hebrews 1:2 KJV - Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
You might as well call it ‘last age’. Why not look at it from the original audiences perspective? They were in their last days, last days of the old covenant.
I truly appreciate this! But you skipped over all the areas in Revelation that goes against your theory?
No those things are in different sermons. These aren't made for youtube it's a standard Sunday sermon at Apologia. You'd have to go through other videos.
Thank you. Just thank you so much. To God be the Glory.
What what? "This" in Acts 2 was obviously simply saying it was the start of Joel's prophesy. Traditions are so blinding...
My other observation is my brother Jeff seems that he is the one who gets to decide what's literal and what's figurative.
You're right brother, the Church age began on Pentecost in Acts chapter 2 and Church age will end on Pentecost in Joel chapter 2:15-17.
I read an article by John Macarthur that said that Calvinism/Reformed theology comes from taking the Bible the most literal, and if you apply that same view to eschatology, the most literal interpretation leads to Pre-Millenial as well.
I'd like to see Jeff's opinion on that article.
We all get to read it, praise God. Jeff isn't determining. Are you?
Great teaching Ever thought of starting an online Bible Institute
Love the message Pastor. Aww to your little girls. That is a cute story.
If my allergies weren’t so bad in Phoenix, I would consider moving there so Pastor Jeff could be my Pastor. He is so freakin smart.
Couldn't agree more...
But, how does 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 fit in. Especially verse 1, and our gathering together to be with Him?
And let's not have any angry comments, stay calm, and have deep breaths.
The mountain he is talking about is any obstacle in front of you its clear in much scripture christs will. We have to take scripture literally you dont have to have a college degree or be a scholar to read and understand the bible. If any man says its so he is notnof God. Scripture goes against all of this.
GOD bless you for being so faithful to the word!!!
Josephus actually mentions a half an hour, i think it was around when the city gate had lifted up by itself
But how about this Ptr. Jeff in Revelation 13:16 -17
"He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
That's not only in deuteronomy 6 Ptr. Jeff and Godbless you with limitless anointing and favor from our living God into your life.
Jeff you seem like your sincere and honest, but your teaching is vein. you quoted more scripture from the old testament, but not really to reveal Revelation. I know you probably dislike Steven Anderson, but you should consider watching and learning from his Revelation series, I know you've heard of it but for anybody that has' not , you can find it on you-tube sanderson 1611 it's one video for each chapter of the Revelation. It will enlighten you please check it out.
The resurrection of Christ , it's questionable because if the Egyptians invented the concept of resurrection ; and the mummies preserved for the resurrection have been desecrated , but for the Jews it's acceptable. Why this double standard?? What I've come to understand is that the white Jesus is the false prophet. Because the real Heshuwa is a dark skin man. And he will say to the false worshipers of the false prophet; away from me evil doers , I don't know you. You see , the white Jesus cannot be both the oppressor and savior.
Revelation 2:9
I know the slander of those who say they are Jews but are not but are a synagogue of Satan....end
That was so great, praise be to the Lord Jesus for grabbing you and putting you to work for such a thought provoking message. Bless you brother!
