      My heart hurts because my family doesn’t discuss the times we are in. We are in the end times because we are the generation to see Israel going through the signs. The third temple is going to be built and the sacrifices to begin.

    I just discovered pastor Allen the other day after someone at church through a monkey Wrench in my mind about trying to convince me of a mid or post trib rapture or something called a pre wrath rapture, and it just spun me in a direction I am not interested in knowing. And I started praying and the Lord led me to pastor Allen and I am very, very thankful.

      Don't worry I will help you out,have u ever noticed that the pre trib rapture view never cover the verses that the other views use to support their views?
      U know why? Because they are counting on UTI not look at them either.
      Daniel 12:1-3 u will see that Michael stands up at the beginning of the time of trouble that has never been since Israel was a nation.
      This is the time of great tribulation, the MIDPOINT OF THE SEVEN YEAR PERIOD.
      AT THAT TIME THY PEOPLE SHALL BE DELIVERED, EVERYONE WHO IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK
      (the book of life).
      Now watch this, MANY THAT SLEEP IN THE DUST OF THE EARTH SHALL AWAKE TO EVERLASTING LIFE.
      (the resurrection rapture).
      NOW WHEN does the resurrection rapture happend?
      AFTER MICHAEL STANDS UP.
      And WHEN does Michael stand up?
      At the MIDPOINT OF THE SEVEN YEAR PERIOD.
      The pre wrath rapture is wrong.
      Revelation 20:4-6 the believers that are killed by the antichrist during the last three and a half year period
      MUST BE IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION.
      SO IF THE GREAT TRIBULATION BELIEVERS MUST BE IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION HOW IS THE PRE TRIB RAPTURE VIEW GETTING A RESURRECTION RAPTURE OF ANY KIND AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEVEN YEAR PERIOD.
      2 THESSALONIANS 2:1-6 these verses teach that verse I is the rapture of the church.
      BUT before verse 1 can be fulfilled two things have to happen FIRST.
      #1 a departure from the faith must happen FIRST.
      #2 the man of sin MUST be revealed.
      He will not be revealed until he sits in the temple at the MIDPOINT OF THE SEVEN YEAR PERIOD, and proclaims himself as God.
      This is why I can't get the pre trib to debate me.
      BUT I have 5 videos on RUclips under the title.
      Pt1 the pre wrath rapture and the third coming of Jesus.
      To find the next video just type in what part your looking for like pt2 pt3 ECT and then type in the rest of the title.
      Do u see these scriptures that are contrary to what the pre trib rapture teaches?
      They not going to do a video with a post tribber, because they can not give u an answer from scripture, but I can.

You speak from the word and I enjoy listening to your interpretation of the scripture. You explain scripture thoroughly and you do a great job of that. I encourage others to listen to pastor Allen’s sermons then go listen to some of the other popular pastors out there and tell me there isn’t a difference. You need to read the word yourself and have some understanding of it to know if others are preaching from it and you sir are!

      Straight and forward in your English Bible may not be so in the Greek and in the Hebrew. It doesn't hurt to be learned when you are looking for the truth. Those who aren't learned, or that are a victim of public education, can twist scripture or see things that are just not there. I see it time after time on Christian channels.
      Example: the Angels gather us at Christ second coming. But nowhere in 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 does it say that Angels do anything of the sort. Shalom...

    • @elboogie1978
      @elboogie1978 10 месяцев назад

      Amen! I was hoping to find this comment. Pastor Nolan lost me when he said he is a Lordship Salvationist. Ephesians 2:8:9 says we are saved by Grace not works, ..."unless any man should boast". How did the theif on the Cross make it to heaven? Was he a special circumstance? And demons believe, yes, but did Christ die on the cross for fallen angels? No. Demons can't be saved. No one but the Lord knows a man's heart. A man/woman could appear to be saved and go home and workshop the devil and not faith at all. Bottomline , only the Lord knows who are His. Paul double downed on Salvation in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4:
      "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
      Salvation comes first in an instant, the moment upon belief and then our walk with Christ (sanctification) continues until He calls us home to glory. Sanctification is also how we build rewards in heaven.
      I must add-God made Salvation easy. American's are accustomed to religious freedom. There are persecuted Saints in nations like Iran, China, N. Korea to name a few; where one cannot grow in their Christian walk or make God "Lord of their lives" (sanctification) post Salvation, out of fear of suffering and death. Americans have that choice and many persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ do not have that freedom. Are they to be condemned to hell? Ephesians 2:8-9 makes it clear we are saved through faith and not works.
      I appreciate this Pastor's indeprh eschatology, but I will respectfully disagree with Lordship Salvation.

    2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
    ...by our gathering together unto Him....
    2Th 2:2 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.
    ...day of Christ...
    2Th 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;
    ...that day (when we are gathered to Jesus/day of Christ)... will not arrive until the apostasy happens and the man of sin be revealed. He even warns you not to let any man deceive you in these matters.

    Lordship salvation is the key as only one of seven churches was promised to be removed from the hour of testing, that was Philadelphia in Rev 3.7-13, the rest of the "BELIEVERS" go through the tribulation, or until death. It is not punishment, it is mercy because God is a God of second chances as those martyred will inherit the KOG/KOH. The key is sanctification by the spirit and belief in the truth per 2 Thes 2 13 and 14. Those that pursue these will be raptured those that dont wont. Be an overcomer of self, Satan, and the world.

      Agree.. it's time for the Body of God believers (in Christ) to get contrite before Him once more, His will be done and not ours. Support or advocate NOT what He calls an abomination etc and in general tolerate no longer all spirits from the Evil One as if they were the same thing as God's Holy Spirit.. how He is so grieved by that all, all beyond words now..
      HE only calls us to follow Him in the faith He has given us, NOT all the other stuff. Jesus, The Christ is Lord. May He bless and keep us to work again whilst there is still light. (Those truly of the household of God will understand what that means).

      Apart from that, yep.
      That is the sequence for the 2nd coming / return of Messiah Yeshua Hamashiach as King to rightfully judge this world. But an angelic harpazo rapture is about a body of chosen ones who remain alive and ready to escape that Great tribulation of the end at an instance of God's choosing beforehand (jew/greek/other makes no difference in the Lord Yeshua/Jesus as they serve the same master).

I had recently listened to THIS series on The Olivet Discourse and I just listened to it again and thank The Lord you came around to believing in the Pre-Trib Rapture! All those people over there are listening to interpretations telling them we are in the Tribulation NOW, and that it's not as bad as all those preachers have been telling us, that God is just going to punish the evil people , and basically that good people won't be punished (in if they're unsaved, but they don't really mention Salvation). Now maybe I can respond, though late, to their angry challenges, and hopefully someone will decide to check into it.

    Pastor Nolan and John MacArthur are both men that speak the word in truth full of the power of the Holy Spirit. To say that the rapture is not in the bible is to say that there are good demons in the world. It is utter nonsense! Both pastors go into great detail (scripture) to show why. It is up to you to ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in all wisdom and truth and letting the word settle over you. Jesus is coming like a thief in the night for those who "believe by faith" and live out their faith by the power of the Holy Spirit. Narrow is the path that leads to eternal life while wide is the path that leads to destruction. Believers are NOT appointed to the Great Tribulations aka Gods wrath of Revelation 6-19.

    very respectfully, if the rapture is imminent, and there are no signs before it occurs, what is it exactly that you are watching for? the one who endures until the end, will be saved. not the one that “see’s the sign.” it won’t be like “whoopies, you missed the sign so enjoy the tribulation.” we will all be here for it. you will either fall away due to your continuous waiting, or you will endure, as we are called to do. you also hope that the rapture is on a sunday? what significance is sunday, other than the day Jesus ascended? Saturday or Sabbath, was set apart, to be kept holy and is the commandment of God. while i enjoy some of your content, i strongly disagree with your theology in these two major points.

      God does want us to care for the miraculous bodies he created. Our DNA was not only made to heal, but the way to be in perfect commune with our Lord. There is much scripture to back up how we are to feed our bodies. Also that it's an integral path to faith. ( No I'm not saying if your overweight you don't have any faith, but it is sin if you do not care for your body, any many battle this demon) I agree with you on it's healing benefits. So true, I am healed of so many things, through God working in me. He started there. It brought me back to the Lord. My eyes were opened to so much. My brain fog being lifted gave me the ability to hear God speak, My high energy level allowed me to give hours to study the word. My appetite for unhealthy ( sugar, carbs, inflammatory foods and oils was replaced with an appetite for the word. Hallelujah!
      Now it's obvious pastor doesn't suffer from a lack of appetite for our Lord Jesus Christ, but I'm sure there would be great spiritual benefits beyond what he now possess. Only God knows what he needs. ( Nevermind how Gods people needs pastor to be around and to be able to continue being able to help us relate to scripture as well as he does now, as long as possible)

Also, Pastor Allen also has no idea if the rapture is pre, post or during the tribulation, he just has hope its pre. What's with the constant, "well yeah look at our culture", that is a very valid statement, God said it would be like the days of Noah. Pastor Allen can tell you, that you will know exactly where you are but before his mother passed, they both had hope she would live to see the return of Jesus. Furthermore, this pastor will tell you its okay to take narcotics made from opium by man. Then will tell you, you are going to hell for smoking marijuana that GOD made. Man is always corrupt.

I am convinced that the sign is the sign of Jonas the prophet which was the eclipse across America in 2017. That's the same thing that happened over Nineveh Babylon Iraq in 763 BC when God sent Jonah (Jonas) to preach repentance to Nineveh, the sign is two eclipses 7 years apart. The Revelation 12 sign happened on 9 23 2017 and again in 2023. And Luke 9:23 says that if anyone would come after me let him deny himself and take up their cross and follow me, daily. Daily because He comes like a thief in the night and we must be ready and have oil in our lamps and the oil is the Holy Spirit. But, I am just an obscure guy that lives in a camper.

    There is a gap in time between Matthew 24 1-2 and Matthew 24 3. And Matthew 24 3 was asked after they already heard Luke 21. NOTHING IN MATTHEW 24 IS IN THE PAST. NOTHING IN MATTHEW 24 IS ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE 2ND TEMPLE

    Many people have the context of Matthew 24 wrong. Many people don't know what happened on that day. This is what happened:
    1. Matthew 24 1-2 was asked about the 2nd temple. This was done in the day time in public. Luke 21 37.
    2. At that time Jesus gave Luke 21. Luke 21 had some parts about 2000 years future also.
    3. So after hearing Luke 21, Jesus and the disciples walked to the Mount of Olives. On the Mount of Olives at night time, the disciples asked Matthew 24 3 about the ending of Luke 21.
    4. These is a gap in time between Matthew 24 1-2 and Matthew 24 3. That makes all the difference in the world.
    5. Let me rephrase Matthew 24 3 so people can understand. When will these things you talked about in Luke 21 earlier this day occur? And what will be the sign of your coming in Luke 21 24-28 and Luke 21 29-36 be?
    6. Jesus was talking about the ending of 2 different ages in the end times in Matthew 24. Matthew 24 4-31 is in Daniels 70th week. There is no rapture in the 2nd half with Matthew 24 15-31. And Matthew 24 32-51 is the Pretrib rapture and has warnings for believers in this generation.
    With the pretrib rapture in the Fig Tree passages and the parable of the 10 virgins, what are the differences between that event and known passages of the 2nd coming?
    In the pretrib rapture, no man knows the day or the hour. No man knows the watch. No man will know if it will be in the evening time or the midnight watch or when the rooster crows or at dawn. These are the watches for the Feast of Trumpets. At the shout at midnight the righteous are taken and the unrighteous are left behind. The ones left behind later ask for the door to be opened for them also. There is no eternal judgment at the pretrib rapture. The ones left behind are only told to depart from the Lord. The bridegroom is going to the wedding. When He appears, we become like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. The separation does not mention what time of day it is. The judgment on that day is the ones left behind are with the hypocrites.
    On the day of the 2nd coming the day will be known. It will be the last day of Daniels 70th week. The watch will be evening time in Israel. Only the hour will not be known but it will be sudden. The correct translation is I am coming suddenly. On that day the wicked are taken and the righteous are gathered on earth. There is eternal judgment on that day. Many are told to depart into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. The bridegroom is coming from the wedding. At His appearing the entire world mourns. The separation is in that night after the sun and moon are darkened. The judgment on that day is with unbelievers.

But it was the strangest thing. I was aware that I was sleeping, and all of a sudden, I heard a loud voice unlike any I had heard in that it was authoritative as it immediately made me move. Not a long extensive dream, but I heard a simple phrase. "JOSH I'M COMING!" and in my dream, I immediately, without skipping a beat, looked into the sky. The clouds were intense, and I remember it being either dawn or dusk. The son was going down or coming up because it wasn't fully dark outside.

But, I am asking you to please try to not talk down to people quite so much, often seeming to come across as though you assume that we know so very, very little. There are those who seriously study their Bibles. All should be doing so. Some may even know more than you do on various subjects.
    I don't like condescension. It's lowers people's view of who they are and decreases their likelihood of delving into learning for themselves. We are not children. Many of us are seasoned Christians, who are out to learn any new thing about God and His Word that might increase the quality of our walk with Him.
    You aren't the only pastor out there that sometimes seems quite condenscending. Many pastors talk down to their listeners, rather like we are all rather dull witted children, who are just beginners.

    Serious question for pastor Nolan. If you think 50% or more of your congregation will miss the rapture is that because you have that many non-believers in your congregation? Or do you just think they are look warm? Just wondering because it’s difficult enough to get believers to even make a commitment to belong to a church let alone non-believers. Also, what do you teach are the requirements to qualify for the rapture?

    Pastor please tell people the only name we can be saved by Acts 4:12!
    Our saviors name is not Jesus and show me scripture where God says its ok to call His Son by another name? Please explain. You said the bible warns not to be deceived but almost 400yrs ago Yeshua name was removed and Jesus replaced His real name! Please explain with scripture.
