Coolest thing I've seen today hands down. Lord we need your glory to fall like this again!
Amazing teachings!!! Thank you!!
This particular number in the series has helped me understand what St. Peter said ,"1Pe_4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1Pe_4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf." I can trust God to confirm His Word, not by my ability, but rather by being faithful to distribute His Word by voice, print, and holy example of the believer.
Amazing teaching Thank you so much!
I’m enjoying these videos, and learning a lot! I’m a recent Calvinist convert!
Wow powerful message
Edwards' grandfather Solomon Stoddard is my 7th great-grandfather. Only one correction: Northampton is in Massachusetts, not Connecticut. Otherwise, blessings for bringing all this to light!
Great teaching and great visuals. Good work!
This was interesting.
Night and Day we that pray must pray.
Well said
by the way, it wasn't the Baptist who started the separation of church and state started, it was from the Anabaptist, who influenced the Baptist John Smyth and John Robinson in the Netherlands
I pray for A great Move of The Holy Spirit of God all over the Nation of Israel and America and the Nations of The Earth
Great evaluation! Helpful to debunk LDS apostles and of New Apostolic Reformation. My former church was secretly morphing into NAR. The “lead” pastor was claiming the position of apostle by his weaving it into sermons without actually identifying it. His mentor friend who wasn’t even technically a part of the church secretly became more of an authority and classified himself as a prophet. The secrecy was no different than the secrecy spirit within LDS. This is a bad spirit.
So little is known about Solomon Stoddard, whose smaller "harvests" in Northampton predated his grandson Jonathen Edwards' larger revivals.
The motto Novus ordo seclorum can be translated as "A new order of the ages." It was proposed by Charles Thomson, the Latin expert who was involved in the design of the Great Seal of the United States, to signify "the beginning of the new American Era" as of the date of the Declaration of Independence.
The phrase is a reference to the fourth Eclogue of Virgil, which contains a passage (lines 5-8[2]) that reads:
Now is come the final era of the
Sibyl's song;
Now is come the final era of the
Sibyl's song;
The great order of the ages is
born afresh
now justice returns, honored
rules return (or return of Saturn's
reign);
now a new lineage is sent down from High Heaven.
Very good! Prayer, Purity, and LOVE is revival! I couldn't tell whether the speaker was endorsing state sponsored religion under the Catholic Church though. In 312 Satan joined the church and transformed Caesar into the Pope. It's evils are still going strong (unfortunately) today. I am looking forward to a theocracy under Jesus coming to the earth soon!
A couple of questions: If Johnathan Edwards was a great husband and full of love, why would his wife write a book titled "Living with a difficult man?" How would that make you feel as a husband? I mean what nerve? What did God think of that? Interestingly the Second Great Awakening later in the century was called the "feminism of Christianity."
Also Billy Graham is a 33 degree Freemason and a devil. Benjamin Franklin's connection with Whitfield seems very sinister. Franklin was the leading Freemason and Illuminist of the era. Franklin sacrificed women and children in his basement and sponsored many anti-christian laws and state policy. If they started UPENN together it leads me to believe that Whitfield was just the Billy Graham/Joel Osteen of his day - a wolf in sheep's clothing supported by the wealthy elite of Europe. History is so complicated and polluted.
So the early preachers scared everyone into church and neglected their wives...Maybe that's why the revivals never lasted? Fear preaching gets people into church so they can be controlled. I am gathering that this is the American Christian legacy.
A lasting revival has nothing to do with miracles or great preaching. It has everything to do with the members increasing in the knowledge of God (love) and it growing in the community. 1 John 4:8. That's how you know a revival is real. The love grows.
By the way, the lay person was another invention of the Catholic Church to control people. We're not lay-people - lay-people is condescending. Understand Jesus would have been considered a lay-person! I pray for a revival of love in the speaker! Love you Joel :)

The
Rapture
David
Levy
What
it is, and what it isn’t.
When
the word Rapture is mentioned, responses differ. Some people know it
refers to Christ coming to take the church to heaven. Others
incorrectly associate the rapture with Christ’s Second Coming.
Still others have no idea what the Rapture is.
Confusion
prevails, primarily because many churches seldom teach the subject
today or lack biblical clarity when they do teach it. In some
circles, people even dislike or ridicule the doctrine. Often the
Rapture passages are spiritualized, stripping the text of its true
meaning.
The
Rapture of the church is a major doctrine in Scripture, and it is
incumbent on us as Christians to understand the meaning of this
important prophetic event.
The
Rapture Defined
The
word Rapture does
not appear in the English Bible. It is a Latin word, raptura,
which means to “seize, snatch, or be carried away.” The Greek
word harpazō does
appear in the Bible (1 Th. 4:17) and means the same thing as raptura.
Thus the Rapture is clearly taught in Scripture. The
Greek word harpazō does appear in the Bible (1 Th. 4:17)
and means the same thing as raptura. Thus the Rapture is clearly
taught in Scripture.
Two
central passages describe the Rapture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and
1 Corinthians 15:50-54. The Rapture refers to when Jesus Christ
will descend from heaven with a shout, the voice of an archangel, and
the trumpet of God to gather all true Christians to heaven. Those who
already died and those living will be caught up together to meet the
Lord in the air (1 Th. 4:16-17).
The
event will happen suddenly, without prophetic signs or warning. When
we are transported to heaven, we will be physically transformed in
the twinkling of an eye to receive glorified bodies preparing us for
life in eternity. The apostle Paul wrote, “In a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound,
and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality” (1 Cor. 15:52-53). Our “corruptible” sin
natures will be instantly eradicated, and we will experience
perfection in body, soul, and spirit.
Paul
said Christ will “transform our lowly body that it may be conformed
to His glorious body” (Phil. 3:21). Every believer’s body will be
refashioned in a resurrected form (but still recognizable), as was
Christ’s body. The apostle John assured us that we “shall be like
Him” (1 Jn. 3:2).
Every
believer’s body will be refashioned in a resurrected form (but
still recognizable), as was Christ’s body.
What
was Christ like in His resurrected body? He could appear and vanish
(Lk. 24:31); and He could walk, talk, eat, and rise into heaven (Jn.
21:21-25; Acts 1:11). He was not bound by gravity, time, or space;
and He could travel at will from one place to another instantly. When
we are raptured, we will possess the same abilities in our glorified
bodies, but we do not know yet to what extent.
The
Relationship Described
Our
relationship with Jesus Christ resembles that of a bridegroom and his
bride. John the Baptist first used this analogy in John 3:28-30. He
taught that Christ is the Bridegroom, and the church is His bride.
Although
the phrase bride
of Christ is
not in the New Testament, the idea appears throughout Scripture (cf.
2 Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5:23-27; Rev. 19:7; 21:9), providing great
insight concerning our unbreakable union with Christ. It pictures the
intimacy we enjoy with Him, like that of a husband and wife (the most
private, personal bond possible in life).
The
Rapture refers to when Jesus Christ will descend from heaven with a
shout, the voice of an archangel, and the trumpet of God to gather
all true Christians to heaven.
This
union is a “great mystery” (Eph. 5:32), something unknowable
unless God reveals it. Paul said specifically he was speaking in
Ephesians 5:23-29 about more than human marriage; he was speaking
about “Christ and the church” (v. 32).
The
Rapture Distinctives
Many
Christians associate the Rapture with Christ’s Second Coming. This
is a mistake because these events are distinct from each other; and
it is important to understand the differences:
At
the Rapture, believers meet Christ in the air (1 Th. 4:17). At
Christ’s Second Coming to Earth, no meeting takes place (Zech.
14:4).
At
the Rapture, only born-again believers will see Christ come (Jn.
14:3). At the Second Coming, the entire world will see Him (Mt.
24:30; Rev. 1:7).
At
the Rapture, believers are taken to heaven (Jn. 14:3). Unbelievers
remain on Earth to endure the Tribulation. At the Second Coming,
believers return to Earth with Christ to enter the Millennial
Kingdom (Mt. 25:34). Unbelievers who survive the Great Tribulation
will never enter the Kingdom; they will be purged and thrown into
everlasting fire (v. 41).
At
the Rapture, Christ returns for His church (1 Th. 4:17). At the
Second Coming, His church returns with Him to rule on Earth during
the Millennial Kingdom (Rev. 19:14).
The
Rapture is imminent. No signs or events must precede it. Many signs
and events occur before Christ’s Second Coming (Mt.24:4-30).
The
Great Tribulation-when God unleashes His wrath on Earth-will not
affect believers because they will already have been raptured (1 Th.
5:9). The Great Tribulation will torment unbelievers, all of whom
will be left on Earth (Rev. 6-18).
Although
the church is mentioned 19 times in the first three chapters of the
book of Revelation, it is not mentioned again until Revelation 22.
In other words, Scripture does not mention the word church when
dealing with God’s Tribulation wrath in Revelation 6-18, but it
does talk about unbelievers and how they will suffer and die (6:8;
8:11).
The
Rapture Deliverance
The
Rapture’s major mission is to deliver the church from God’s
wrathful judgment of sinful humanity, which will afflict the entire
earth. Paul told the Thessalonian church, “Wait for His [God’s]
Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who
delivers us from the wrath to come” (1 Th. 1:10).
The
Rapture’s major mission is to deliver the church from God’s
wrathful judgment of sinful humanity, which will afflict the entire
earth.
After
speaking of the Rapture (4:16-17), Paul said, “For God did not
appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus
Christ” (5:9). Notice, God did not “appoint” (destine)
Christians, who possess salvation, to experience His eschatological
wrath. That event is planned for sinners who reject Him.
Many
ask, “If God is going to pour out His judgment on sinful humanity,
and Christians are still sinful even after we have received Christ,
why would He deliver only Christians from His wrath in the Great
Tribulation and not others?” Because Christ’s sacrifice of
Himself was applied as payment for our sin when we accepted Him as
Savior; we received Christ’s righteousness: “For He made Him who
knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness
of God in Him” (2 Cor. 5:21). So God sees us as having His
righteousness, obtained through faith in Christ.
However,
if we reject Him, He does not see us that way, and “the wrath of
God abides on [us]” (Jn. 3:36). If we receive Christ as our Savior,
Christ’s sacrifice is laid on our account and pays for our sin. We
are no longer under God’s condemnation or wrath (Rom. 8:1; 1 Th.
5:9). If we do not receive Christ, we must pay for our sin ourselves,
and “the wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23).
God
showers His mercy and grace on repentant sinners and withholds the
punishment we deserve. In addition, in His grace, He provides the
unmerited favor we do not deserve.
Today
we live in the age of grace, or the Church Age. It is so named
because Jesus said, “I will build My church” (Mt. 16:18). The
Church Age began on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2) and will end at the
Rapture (1 Th. 4:13-18). But God’s program continues through the
Great Tribulation and into the Millennial Kingdom and eternity.
Church
saints will return with Christ at the Second Coming, clothed in pure
white linen that symbolizes their righteous acts, and they will rule
and reign with Him for 1,000 years (Rev. 19:8, 14; 20:4; cf. 2:26-28;
3:21).
What
a glorious plan God has established for those who put their faith in
Christ for salvation. Have you?
