Watch the UA-cam video "Genesis of Dispensational Theology", to see the original source of the doctrine in black and white. New Covenant Whole Gospel: How many Christians cannot honestly answer the first three questions below? Who is now the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary? God is not now a "racist". He has extended His love to all races of people through the New Covenant fulfilled by His Son's blood at Calvary.
@@VndNvwYvvSvv the rapture is a small part of a dispensationalism it's about looking at what the prophets wrote and believing it. There is no way to make the prophecies fit the church. The dispersion, the return to a baran land, the land giving her fruit,the jealousy of her neighbors etc
Sorry man I don’t agree to 80% of your preaching. You are rong in many areas in dispensationalism and you’re mostly talking in one particular group area. There are many different views and groups in dispensationalism and you’re right many groups are wrong in their views. I myself listen to JEAN Kim, Andy Woods, but my top guy is Amar, who is a messianic Jew in Israel. Even though I might not agree with all of their views altogether in my mind they make up the truth, even though Each one of them are not completely right, so in order to learn dispensationalism properly you have to have a few teachers under your belt and that takes multiple years of study just in dispensationalism. I am 50 years old and I have been studying gentile churches of all types since I was about 12. But at the same time, I don’t discount some of the teachings in a gentle church. But I am still a dispensationonolist. Before you put out videos like this, you need a lot more study
I used to be a dispensationalist but now my beliefs are that of a Reformed Baptist. One of the problems that I have with election is that some ethnic groups have a higher % of saved people than others. I am half Japanese. Few people in Japan care for the gospel. Compared to South Korea Christian churches in Japan seem small and insignificant. Among Blacks there is definetly a higher % of saved people than among other ethnic groups. This, of course, does not excuse the evils of slavery. In Canada many Natives claim Christ as Saviour. One interesting fact about Canadian Natives is that very few are Baptists. Baptists have been in Canada since the 1740's. Pentecostals have been in Canada since about 1905. Yet Pentecostals have been more successful in evangelising Natives than Baptists. Many of the Africans coming to Canada are devout Christians. Many of the Blacks coming to Canada from the Caribbean are also devout Christians. On the other hand any Japanese person who is a Christian laments the fact that few Japanese people care for the gospel.
@@roberteaston6413 how do you know those people are genuinely saved, though? And if few people in Japan care for the Gospel, that only means they need more preaching, more calls for repentance. I hear that adultery and prostitution is extremely common and normalized in Japan- wherever darkness is, the light of the Gospel is also needed. There was a time when sub-saharan Africa, the far east and the Americas had never heard the Gospel. There was a time when only the Israelites and those sojourning in and amongst them had heard of the Living God. We shouldn't be worried with how "few" people are saved, but rather marvel at His mercy in saving any of us. Nobody can be deserving of the blood of God to pay the price for the blood upon our own heads. We have a merciful God who hears those who do not deserve it, and inclines His ears to their sorrows, who adopts them as His own sons and daughters.
@@jakebarnes3054 My mother was Japanese and lived in Japan up until 1956. She told me that growing up in Japan whenever a boy turned 18 his father would take him to a whorehouse as a way of introducing him to adulthood. This practice was so common that when she came to Canada she was surprised that it was not practiced in Canada and the USA. The Japanese have no concept of sin. They have a concept of shame but have no concept of sinning against a holy God.
Philip Mauro's Gospel of the Kingdom is a great refutation of the 7 dispensations and other Scofield study bible notes. He was an ex-dispensationalist who joined the Episcopal church. Also, Edward J. Young's The Prophecy of Daniel: A Commentary is also helpful.
His "refutation" is mere opinion with very poor proper biblical interpretation. The fact that he would join the Episcopal Church is proof enough that he had serious interpretive problems.
@@davidcooper1201 whether that’s true or not, does not make Dispensationalism biblically correct. All faithful Christians need to reject this asap (luckily most Christian’s are not dispensational, it’s only mainly SOME baptists in America, which luckily the younger generations are rejecting this) the entirety of the Christian Church & faith have rejected this as well.
I come from a Dispensationalist upbringing. But as I did my own study, I've come to understand my Bible differently (Gal. 3: 24-29, Eph. 2: 14-16). It seems many have allowed Dispensationalism to shape how they read and interpret Scripture rather than allowing Scripture to speak for itself and shape their belief system. Scripture's focus is God's True Israel, Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, ethnic Israel seems to have become the center of Dispensationalism. This has made the Christian church easily manipulated by the world and the enemy of our souls, since many hold on to this system of belief.😢 May we take a step back and objectively but prayerfully evaluate where Dispensationalism has brought the world (especially Western civilization) today. Thank you.🙏😇
You are so wrong in your understanding. Israel, who is God's Chosen People as a nation, has a very key part in the end times theology. Romans 11 should make it clear to you that God is not finished with Israel and will graft them back into the root of the vine of Abraham as he had grafted the Gentiles into the vine through Christ, he will also do so with the nation of Israel as a whole. Why is it that I sense a great animosity from covenant theologians toward God's chosen People? Paul, the Apostle, is quick to alert Gentiles that we were on the outside and that God hardened Jacob's heart so that He could have mercy upon us . We were grafted into to the root of the vine and He argues, what makes you think that God can't (and won't) re-graft the Chosen People of God back into the root from where it came? I think you should go back to your study and see where you went wrong. The most influential preachers of the gospel today hold to a dispensational systematic theology and God has seen to it for a reason. We do not preach other than salvation comes by the God-Man, Jesus Christ, the Lord and that this salvation comes by faith through the grace of God for forgiveness of sins and being placed into a right relationship with God. We just happen to believe the whole council of God in His Word and believe what God has promised to Israel shall come to pass and they, too, must as a Nation come to faith in Christ and they will according to the whole counsel of God's Word. Saying that Jesus is the true Israel is nonsensical. Jesus is the Son of God, born of the seed of David but nowhere is Jesus called Israel. Israel is the Nation which is God's Chosen People and as such, according to Romans 11 will be grafted back into the root of the vine, Abraham, from where it came. Jesus, as the savior of Jew and Gentile.....remember the gospel was preached first to the Jew, then to the Gentile, and as most of the Jews rejected their Messiah the gospel was preached to the Gentiles that God might have mercy on us all. The absurdity of the minister's presentation is that most dispensationalists, like myself, that I know are busy about preaching the gospel and seeking to win both Gentiles and Jews to faith in Jesus Christ. This Zionism is blown way out of proportion because its only import to me as a minister is what God will do in keeping His promises to Israel which covenant theologians seem to just blow off as though all of the promises of God to Israel have been ceded to the Church. That is absurd. Israel, who had become scattered and was not a nation became a nation again in 1948, the first time this has ever happened in history and now in accordance with the prophecies of Ezekiel, Israel is preparing to build a third temple. These fulfillments are in accordance with God's Word and shall come to pass. And yes, there will be a literal 1,000 year reign of Jesus Christ on earth to fulfill God's promises to Israel and will also demonstrate that God is just in His judgments of mankind because even in a period of justice and righteousness, men will rebel. You don't have to believe it, but you cannot stop God from fulfilling His promises to Israel. God has spoken and it shall be done.
@@davidcooper1201 I lovingly urge you, brother to allow Scripture to speak for itself and form your system of belief. Not the other way around. Sadly, the majority in the church today practice the latter over the former. Thus, they miss out on very precious truths that have already been revealed to us by God in His Word through the Holy Spirit. Such a mindset has resulted to much impotence in the Christian church that should be having a more positive influence on the world today. Dispensationalism has limited our understanding of Scripture to the literal. Even Dispensationalist preachers themselves also do not interpret all Scripture literally. That is because not all literary genre can be interpreted that way, and there are different genres in God's Word. One who confines himself to a single approach to studying Scripture has already made his first wrong step that increases as he continues in that path. Indeed ethnic Israel has a specific role to carry out in God's sovereign redemptive plan. And their rejection of Jesus Christ was part of it, that brought the Gospel to us. Thus, we are to be humbled and grateful to God. But Christ Himself said that "The Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation, producing the fruit of it." (Matt 21:43) Such was the mystery revealed to the Apostle Paul. For God's ultimate plan is not for the salvation and redemption of the Jews alone but for the Gentiles and His entire creation! For there is only one tree and one root who is God. The natural branches is ethnic Israel. Some were broken off because of unbelief so we, Gentiles might be grafted in. Thus, the Apostle Paul states that all of us are one in Christ (Gal. 3:28). This simply supports his theological presentation in Romans as to how and when Abraham was declared righteous, which was prior to his circumcision (ergo as a Gentile) that is but a sign of his faith in God. Hebrews notes Abel, Enoch, Noah, etc. (non-Jews, ergo, Gentiles too but who have the same faith as Abraham's) as partakers of what we have in Christ by faith. Indeed God is not through with Israel as with the other nations. Thus, may we all the more carry out the Great Commission. And as we do so, let us focus more on the One True Israel of God, the Lord Jesus (Matt. 2:13-14) who tore down the dividing wall between Jew and Gentile because God's goal is to make us, "one new man" in Christ (Eph. 2:14). Please notice too that the Lord Jesus has only one bride, not two. I will also not postpone Christ's kingship and rule as Scripture declares it (Dan. 7:13-14, Matt. 28:18 & ff, Lk. 11:17-20) I recognize His kingship and rule here and now because of three reasons: 1) God said it, 2) it was the secret to the success of the early church, and 3) it is what our world desperately needs today. So let's do our part in this. Thank you.
@@gaylenhalbert4391 Thank you for the compliment. May we all learn not to be content with applying Sola Scriptura, (making Scripture the only standard for our faith) May we even go farther and practice Tota Scriptura (viewing and understanding Scripture as a whole and how each part is interconnected to one another) that we may arrive at a holistic understanding of God's Holy Word and know Him more. 🙏🙂
That's the goal! There's a lot more to eschatology and defending amil, but I hope this video helps show some weird stuff from premil dispensationalism.
Rejecting dispensationalism was also my gateway to eventually landing in the LCMS. What I find most perplexing about dispensationalism is that most of them today would reject some of Darby/Scofield’s more outlandish takes, such as separate salvation plans for Jews and Gentiles, that Jesus and Paul preached two different gospels, etc., yet these are central to Darby’s system. I don’t understand the impulse to reinvent the theology that has such glaring issues. This piecemeal way of doing theology is also a problem with Evangelicalism. It mixes and matches random parts of various other theological systems without any systematic case whatsoever.
Most such movements today operate from the the U.S. where there is a conservative anti-intellectual trend and a failed education system. Dispensationalism can only thrive in such conditions.
@@thenowchurch6419 The first generation of Plymouth Brethren in the United Kingdom were well educated. I used to fellowship with the Plymouth Brethren. I was surprised to see small assemblies that had elders that were well educated. Also, unlike Anglicans and a lot of Baptists the Brethren will have nothing to do with the Freemasons.
8:07 If dispensationalists really believe there were "jews" during the lifetime of Jacob, then that should be enough to discredit the entire doctrine. Or are you playing a little loose with their language here?
@tedbastwock3810 jews are israelites God changed Jacob's ne to israel. Jacob's sons are the twelve tribes of Israel. "Jew" is a term evolved from one of the tribes "judah"
The word Jew was a shortened form for the people of Judah. A historical fact which is true to this very day. But as Paul revealed in Romans 3-8, we are under the dispensation of Grace now explained by The concept of the "testator" in the Book of Hebrews 9:16-17 (KJV): > "For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth." Context and Meaning: Testament: This refers to a covenant or will, similar to a legal document that specifies the distribution of an inheritance. Testator: The person who establishes the covenant or will, and whose death is required to make the testament valid. In the theological context of Hebrews: The "testator" is Christ, who established the new covenant (testament) between God and humanity. His death was necessary for the new covenant to take effect, just as a will is only activated upon the death of the one who made it. Through His death, Christ fulfilled the requirements of the old covenant and inaugurated the new covenant, granting eternal redemption to believers. This passage emphasizes the necessity of Christ's sacrifice to establish the new covenant and bring about the promised inheritance of eternal life. The new covenant required the death of Jesus and the will to be pronounced. The brought in the dispensation of Grace.
Thank you for pointing out the selective literalism of the dispensationalists. Many people take it for granted that dispensationalism is supposedly "literal" but that is a fallacy and a source of great deception which pre-supposes that we who do not believe in a pre-tribulation rapture as not taking the Bible literally or even worse, seriously.
New Covenant Whole Gospel: How many modern Christians cannot honestly answer the questions below? Who is the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Who is the “son” that is the “heir” to the land in Matthew 21:37-43? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary? 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. God is not now a “racist”. He has extended His love to all races of people through the New Covenant fulfilled by His Son’s blood at Calvary. The Apostle Paul warned against using “genealogies” in our faith in 1 Tim. 1:4, and Titus 3:9. ==== Who is really teaching “Replacement Theology” ? (Did God fulfill His promises to the Jewish people at Calvary? Matthew 26:28, John 19:30) The advocates of modern Dispensational Theology often accuse others of promoting “Replacement Theology”, or some may even say “Antisemitism”. What does the Bible say about their accusations? 1. Who is replacing Christ as the seed of Abraham through which all the families of the Earth would be blessed in Genesis 12:3, with Abraham’s modern descendants? (See Paul’s interpretation in Galatians 3:8, 3:16.) 2. Who is replacing the one people of God in John 10:16, with two peoples of God ? 3. Who is replacing the one seed (Christ) in Galatians 3:16, with the many seeds? 4. Who is replacing the children of the promise in Romans 9:8, with the children of the flesh? 5. Who is replacing the word “remnant” in Romans 9:27, with the word “nation”? 6. Who is replacing the faithful “remnant” of Israelites in Romans 11:1-5, with the Baal worshipers? 7. Who is replacing the word "so" in Romans 11:26, with the word "then"? 8. Who is attempting to replace the Church made up of all races of people, with one made up only of Gentiles? Why did Peter address the crowd as “all the house of Israel” in Acts 2:36, when about 3,000 Israelites accepted Christ on the Day of Pentecost? 9. Based on Hebrews 12:18-24, the New Covenant cannot be separated from the Messiah’s death. Is the covenant in Daniel 9:27 connected to the Messiah’s death in Daniel 9:26. Is the covenant with the “many” in Daniel 9:27 the same covenant with the “many” in Matthew 26:28? If it is, some have replaced the New Covenant in Daniel 9:27 with a future covenant made by an antichrist not found in Daniel chapter 9. (See the 1599 Geneva Bible used by the Pilgrims.) 10. Those promoting the Two Peoples of God doctrine of Dispensational Theology often accuse others of teaching “Replacement Theology”, but are they the masters of it? Are they promoting a form of Dual Covenant Theology based on race? (See “genealogies” in Titus 3:9) Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel? 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? 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? 11. Watch the UA-cam video “Genesis of Dispensational Theology” to see the origin of this man-made doctrine, which is less than 200 years old. It was brought to the United States about the time of the Civil War by John Nelson Darby. The doctrine was later incorporated into the notes of the Scofield Reference Bible, and then spread through much of the modern Church. Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas Texas was created in part to promote John Darby’s Two Peoples of God doctrine of Dispensational Theology. Lewis Sperry Chafer, the first president of Dallas Theological, had the following to say about the difference between Israel and the Church:
“The dispensationalist believes that throughout the ages God is pursuing two distinct purposes: one related to the earth with earthly people and earthly objectives involved which is Judaism; while the other is related to heaven with heavenly people and heavenly objectives involved, which is Christianity.” Lewis Sperry Chafer, Dispensationalism (Dallas, Seminary Press, 1936), p. 107. Chafer states that, ‘Israel is an eternal nation, heir to an eternal land, with an eternal kingdom, on which David rules from an eternal throne,’ that is, on earth and distinct from the church who will be in heaven.” Lewis Sperry Chafer. Systematic Theology. 1975. Vol. IV. pp. 315-323. John Walvoord, another prominent voice of Dallas Theological stated… "...it is an article of normative dispensational belief that the boundaries of the land promised to Abraham and his descendants from the Nile to the Euphrates will be literally instituted and that Jesus Christ will return to a literal and theocratic Jewish kingdom centred on a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. In such a scheme the Church on earth is relegated to the status of a parenthesis.” John F. Walvoord, The Rapture Question.1979, p. 25 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are there two peoples of God in John 10:16? (See also 1 John 2:22-23, 2 John 1:7-11.) What is the land promise to the Old Testament Saints in Hebrews 11:15-16? (See what Joshua said about the Old Covenant land promise in Josh. 21:43.) Based on 2 Peter 3:10-13, is this earth “eternal”? Will it be replaced by a new earth? Based on Acts 2:36, and Romans 9:6-8, and Romans 11:1-5, and Hebrews 12:22-24, and James 1:1-3, can faithful Israel and the Church be separated into two different groups? Who is the New Covenant promised to in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and is it fulfilled by the blood of Christ at Calvary in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 12:18-24? Will modern Orthodox Jews ever be saved outside of the New Covenant Church, if the New Covenant is “everlasting” in Hebrews 13:20? (See also 2 Thess. 1:7-10) If the New Covenant has made the Old Covenant “obsolete” in Hebrews 8:6-13, why would God go back to the Old Covenant system during a future time period? Read the recent book "The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism", by Daniel G. Hummel...
You make a lot of good points in this! Particularly in relation to the role the crucifixion plays in the redemption plan. The "happy accident"; "plan B". LOL Problem is Revelation says Jesus was the "lamb slain from the foundation of the world". Thus there's no way redemption could have been predicated upon anyone rejecting Christ. (Thus the segue into the doctrine of election.) And this is why I would say the culmination of history from God's intended purpose is the resurrection and 2nd would be the incarnation. Good job though; informative and entertaining too!
39:53-40:02, “for those that are mid-tribulational or post-tribulational, they can just calculate the days”. I am a “historic premillennial / post-trib”, could you expound what you mean by that?
They believe Christ’s second coming would be exactly, either 3.5 years (mid-trib) or 7 years (post-trib) after the rapture of the church. So they can calculate Christ’s exact coming after seeing the rapture 🤷♂️
@@americanslav9694 posttrib does not posit a 7 year tribulation AFTER the rapture, but rather a 7 year tribulation from the rapture. As far as I remember, they believe the parousia/advent to be concurrent with the rapture of the Church. It is the dispensationalists that believe the rapture to be before the 7 year tribulation. Seemingly the only way for one to “calculate” the rapture and parousia/advent would be by knowing the timing of when the tribulation begins.
A novel dispensationalism has replaced Christ with a re-emerged national Israel as the sacred centrepiece of redemptive history and biblical prophecy. ✔️
No. Christ is the center, its just that Israel has a part to play in the end times. From my perspective many of you dont WANT Isreal or the Jews to really be part of the story anymore. Often when this topic is discussed The anti-Dispensationalist, will start demanding that the dispensationalist tell them "Just how much money are we supposed to give to Israel? HUH!? HUH!? Are you even an american? Do you know how many Jews run all the companies?" I'm not saying your such a person. Its just such a strange bizare trend that runs through it, this desire for the Jews story to be done and a rejection of the prophecies that Israel would become a nation again during a time when the messiah was a banner for all the nations, or the everlasting promise that a remnant of the Jews would be preserved and Israel would belong to them forever.
@@timgregory2296 Yeah you're correct, this was a mistake on my part. I cringe on this mistake from time to time. Point stands though, that it was a small number.
Dispensationalism IS UGLY. I know of many so-called Christians who are obsessed with Israel and the 3rd Temple + the rapture. None of them share their faith and read the Bible every day. Their knowledge of Creation is not good too
Plenty of good points. I would like to ask however, what's your take on Isaiah 53:5 (KJV): > "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." Charismatics take this verse and build entire doctrines on healing. They say we are Healed already and through faith receive it. Yet if we honestly assess what their T.V. shows and youtube healing videos show there is no proved healings shown ever. As a result they claim power but never demonstrate it. It makes them liars. Then they blame those that don't get healed on not having enough faith. When the service is over they fly away on private jets while their customers die.

That to me sums up the old testament dispensation and summarizes our current dispensation of grace. There are at least two dispensations without a doubt.
@@CieloVistaSoftware Show me where it says that in the Bible, so that I too may share in this Spiritual wisdom. Do you even own a Bible, or is this something someone told you? Dispensationalism is a quintessentially American heresy, much like the Jehovah Witnesses, Mormonism, and Seventh Day Adventists. Neither the Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Anglicans, Coptic, Syrian, Russian Orthodox, or Greek Orthodox Christians believe in Dispensationalism. It is followed primarily by white U.S. Evangelicals and/or Southern Baptists and the missionary Churches they have influenced. *This is what Jesus said regarding Israel.* "Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? Therefore I TELL YOU THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL BE TAKEN WAY FROM YOU and given to a people who will produce its fruit." Matthew 21:42-43. "They will level you to the ground- you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, BECAUSE YOU DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE TIME OF YOUR VISITATION FROM THE LORD.” Luke 19:44. *This is what the Prophet Micah said.* "Therefore night will come over you without visions, and darkness without divination. The sun will set on these prophets, and the daylight will turn black over them. Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be disgraced. They will all cover their mouths because there is no answer from God. As for me, however, I am filled with power by the Spirit of the LORD, with justice and courage, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin. Now hear this, O leaders of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and pervert all that is right, who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with iniquity. Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets practice divination for money. Yet they lean upon the LORD, saying, “is not the LORD among us? No disaster can come upon us." Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge." Micah 3:6-12.
Would you say there's a real difference between dispensationalism and restorationism? It seems to me that Baha'i, Islam, Mormonism, JW, etc. are all just following dispensationalism to it's logical conclusion.
I'd say so because most dispensationalists I know wouldn't say that the Church apostatized for 1800 years. They will argue that dispensationalism has some roots in Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, Hippolytus, etc. and eschatology simply wasn't the focus for a while to discover these truths.
One difference though is that Evangelical Dispensationalism includes an escape for them called the Pre-Trib Rapture while those other movements do not.
Regarding the Roman destruction of the temple, it was prophecy foundcin Deuteronomy 29 being fulfilled due to their disobedience. They've been mostly a wanderer Jew since then and suffered terrible consequences every since then. What did Spain do in 1492? Or Hitler in 1942? Iran, this year? Disobedience brought the continued judgement as well as the new dispensation of Grace.
I didn’t know I was a “dispo” until now. It’s just want I’ve found in my own reading. lol. Most of the added commentary about Dispo I haven’t agreed with. Both of those who are ‘for’ and ‘against’ Dispo. What I find to be obvious are the different ways in which God has interacted with man over distinct stretches of time. Pre-fall, pre-flood, pre-law, pre-Holy Spirit, and pre-mil kingdom. (I don’t care how someone might argue there’s 4 or 7 of these eras.) I don’t find relevance in converting this into an academic argument, but only for the Dispo function to be a theme that is identifiable over the whole span of God’s self-revealing purpose. I interpret the mil kingdom as literal because it’s laid out is such detail that it begins to beg the question: how is this not literal but Genesis and Leviticus are?! But take nothing from me as I count the commentaries and studies of God’s word by men to be self-exalting. It’s the Holy Spirit that teaches. Not me. I’m a fool. Edit: I’m a false Dispo! The Church is the new Israel, I agree. But I also see there will be a time of completion for the National Israel. A promise made to a distinct people. A better promise later made, but the previous promise still brought to full revelation. To show angel and man what the design should have been with man, but man failing.
Although I disagree with you, let me say I appreciate you engaging with us as brothers. I also appreciate the Clarence Larkin chart photo! Now, There is nothing nonsensical about Ryries position on The Sermon on the Mount, since it is preparing Christ’s audience to live in a manner fit for the kingdom by declaring the rule of life for the kingdom, and they must live this way to enter the kingdom (Matt. 3:8; 5:20; 25:34-46), this is why Ryrie says Matt. 5-7 is about Israel’s kingdom life (and not the body of Christ in this dispensation, although there’s marvelous application for today) even though it speaks about suffering because Israel must suffer (the 70th week, “Great Tribulation”) before it enters the Kingdom.
Are you aware that what you mention about the Sermon on The Mount being taught by Ryrie, was not taught before him at DTS. DTS taught that what Jesus taught on the Sermon on The Mount was in the future. Chafer taught three groups of people: Jews, gentiles, and the church. Compare that to what Paul writes in Philippians 3:1-3 "1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you. 2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision; 3 for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh, If anyone uses a systematic theology to interpret that is eisegesis. The correct interpretation starts with the text itself and then interpreting in light of its historical and literary context. A careful study of apocalyptic literature solves many problems about how to interpret that literature. Books by David Aune, Earle Eliis, and most any good Bible dictionary such as Dictionary of Biblical Imagery, and Dictionary of the Old Testament: Prophets is a good place to start. Fee and Stuart have a chapter on how to interpret apocalyptic literature and what characterizes that kind of literature.
@@geraldpolmateer3255 Well I know the Scofield Reference Bible made it clear that the Sermon still carries “beautiful moral application” for the member of the body of Christ even though Matt. 5-7 isn’t speaking to us directly. In Matthew 25 Rev. EW Bullinger states “The Parable has nothing to do with the Church to-day as to interpretation, though there is the same solemn application as to watchfulness.” (The Companion Bible, 1367). I’m sorry DTS in its earlier days apparently wasn’t as clear as previous dispensationalists were. Scofield had a protégé named Lewis Sperry Chafer and Chafer started DTS and Chafer had a pupil and protege of his who was raised in his church and Chafer made arrangements for him to attend DTS, his name was Charles F. Baker who became a theologian right after Chafer. Baker wrote: “The true dispensationalist first of all affirms that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is all profitable (2 Timothy 3:15, 16). He makes a careful distinction between the interpretation of a passage and an application of it. Any one passage has only one true interpretation, the literal and primary meaning, whereas it might have many applications. He tests all Scripture by the completed and final revelation given to the apostle Paul, and all truth from Genesis to Revelation which dovetails with Pauline truth he has every right to apply to himself.” (Baker, Studies in Dispensational Relationships, pg. 60)
WHEN IS THE RAPTURE / RESURRECTION? In Revelation 20:4-6 the last book of the Bible there are only 2 more FUTURE Resurrections (Raptures) spoken of: (after the 2 witnesses appear) 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the FIRST RESURRECTION. or rapture 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the FIRST RESURRECTION: on such the SECOND DEATH hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. In the above scriptures, these are the Martyrs. John said "this is the first resurrection." John didn't say this is the "second phase of the first resurrection," as pre-tribbers claim. If this is the FIRST resurrection, can there be a resurrection before this one? Of course not, unless you want to ADD to the bible which is forbidden! The First Resurrection is of the dead in Christ and the Second is after 1000 years. Paul wrote that the Dead in Christ MUST rise FIRST, THEN we who are alive and remain will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 16 ...and the dead in Christ shall RISE FIRST 17 THEN we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them... In Rev. 20:4-5, John sees the souls of Saints who were BEHEADED for refusing the Mark of the Beast during the Great Tribulation. John writes that they will rise and reign with Christ for 1000 years and that this is the FIRST RESURRECTION! If according to John, the beheaded rise in the FIRST resurrection and Paul said those who are alive and remain are not caught up until AFTER the dead in Christ are resurrected, then this means the catching up or rapture takes place AFTER tribulation! Now compare the above with 1 CORINTHIANS 15:20-23: 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of those who slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; AFTERWARDS THOSE WHO ARE CHRIST'S AT HIS COMING. Notice only one resurrection of the dead in Christ is mentioned here! Which, according to Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 must take place BEFORE we who are alive and remain are "caught up" with them! When did Jesus say the dead in Christ would be resurrected? John 6:39-40: Jesus said, "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up ON THE LAST DAY. John 6:44: Jesus said, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up ON THE LAST DAY." Is the LAST DAY the thousand year reign of Christ? I believe so....then it is eternity and time is counted no more So if Jesus himself said the dead in Christ will be raised on the LAST DAY, and Paul said we who are alive and remain will not be caught up (raptured) until AFTER the dead are raised, then where does secret pre-trib rapture fit in? Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:52 - In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMP last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. We are changed at the LAST TRUMP and where is this found? In REVELATION, the LAST BOOK of the Bible there are 7 trumps and the 7th trump is the LAST ONE and is at the END end of the tribulation. there is not a 7th last trump prior to the tribulation.
I've never heard a preacher (Dispensational) say anything about the old covenant returning in the millennium. Never. I've been to many different churches as I've moved around quite a bit, but there's several other things that you said that I've never heard, or at least understood in quite a different way than you imply. Example: the example you give of "one taken, and one left," most preachers and dispensationists I know believe that text to refer to the gathering of the sheep and goats as the millennium starts in preparation for the judgement, not the rapture. But I probably don't know what I'm talking about. I merely consider myself a Christian, and not a Lutheran, even though I'm sitting in the home of friends who are. But I'm working on them. Gonna be tough. They're also German. Great video, but you might consider speaking just a little slower. 🙏✝️👑✝️🙏 Edit: And of course, the Catholic Church says that we are all wrong. Also, if God isn't going to turn back to Israel (after the rapture) then whom will inherit the unfulfilled prophecies to Israel? God is pretty strict about fulfilling His promises. Of course, much of eschatology and the entirety of the end times are supposed to be somewhat mysterious, so perhaps every camp has a bit of it, but no one has all of it. Yet. 🙏✝️🙏 Edit: How do you know that they're NOT helicopters? Literal when possible, certainly, but sometimes, you have to use a bit of imagination to consider what the understanding of someone in the first century could comprehend.
If the Temple is to be rebuilt, sacrifice is to be restarted, a return to Mosaic Law and Covenant can absolutely be inferred. It would not have to be stated outright and indeed probably wouldn’t because that would raise a whole BUNCH of problems in Christian congregations. Also-the land promises were fulfilled. They were eternal, everlasting, and irrevocable AND conditional. Israel had to keep their end of the covenant(s) or be rejected. That is exactly what ultimately happened when Israel rejected their Messiah-the land (the temple and the order of the Mosaic Law) was utterly destroyed. You should probably study the difference between exegesis and eisegesis.
Thank you for this comment, I was raised and educated in dispensational theology, and I have found things that I don’t agree with, and I’m specifically trying to research dispensational interpretation of Daniel 9 and how that shapes eschatology. This video had some interesting things, but there were many things in here that I had never ever heard in church, such as Jesus’s sermon on the Mt did not apply to us or that the cross was Plan B, or that the jewish leaders were supposed to make Jesus king and they failed in their mission, or that Calvary is secondary to his return. I NEVER heard anything like that, and I’ve been through a dispensational based Bible college program. There were many others, but I didn’t make a list. My view on end times has changed from being it has to be exactly this, this, this and this, to be more like a puzzle, where we don’t have all the pieces yet. God did not reveal his playbook on Jesus first coming, so why do we expect him to reveal that exactly on the second coming? That’s what got the Jews in trouble the first time because his first coming did not match what they expected based on their understanding of the scripture. Afraid many would be in the same boat today because we’re looking for a specific events and not the hand of God in motion.
*_Manuel De Lacunza, S.J. (July 19, 1731 - c. June 18, 1801) was a Jesuit priest who used the pseudonym Juan Josafat Ben-Ezra in his main work on the interpretation of the prophecies of the Bible, which was entitled The Coming of the Messiah in Majesty and Glory. This is where Darby got many of his ideas._* *_Edward Irving is the one who translated his writings into English, he also believed in a pre-trib rapture around the same time as Darby. He was another heretic who started the catholic apostolic church where the ecstatic tongue speaking came from, way before the Pentecostal movement._* Thank you for your research. God Bless
Can you cite where Edward Irving said the church would be raptured before a 7-year tribulation? I don't think it exists because I don't think he believed that.
And so you are implying that Darby got some of his ideas from a Jesuit Priest means that his interpretations are wrong. Suppose error based upon one's sources is an illogical and flawed argument in determining the right or wrong of an idea. I would suggest you see how he interpreted Scripture and determine if the interpretation is sound not the association of ideas.
@@davidcooper1201it’s also actually factually wrong. If you look up what that Jesuit priest actually wrote we aren’t even close to having the same understanding. It’s just historicist propaganda and stale copypasta.
sad... what did Lord Jesus said to the Pharisees? Mat 23:24 " You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel." in fact the whole Matthew 23 talks about Hypocricy and this is exactly what it is... one thing is clear. God made promisses and gave every opportunity to Izraelites to be his people. yet they stoned prophets and killed those God sent to teach / lead his people... even after they rejected Krist they still refused... but the majority of this debate goes about present days Izrael... so ask yourself this question? do jews in present days state izrael follow Moses??? as far as I am concerned NO. So they are rejected as everybody else who doesn´t have neither the Son nor the Father... Correct me please use convincing arguments... Thanx
I am not dispensational, I don't believe in the pre-trib rapture. If someone asked me what the Bible was about in one word, I would say redemption. I have a question: Are any promises made to Israel that have not been fulfilled?

This was written to the Church in Philadelphia before 70 AD. The GREAT TRIBULATION was coming soon, they would see it happen to their main prosecutors the Jews. 9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie-behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. 11 I am coming soon. He said I AM COMING SOON. That church does not exist today. Jesus did come in judgement on the synagogue of Satan when He used the Romans to destroy the city of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD. He ended once and for all the old covenant.
I always took the "all Israel will be saved" as in the end times all Jews will embrace Jesus Christ. And for me this isn't good proof of dispensationalism, it's just a prophecy that says one day the Jews who are alive will voluntarily adopt the faith.
This video has some bizaaaaaare strawman descriptions of what dispensationalists believe. Like at 1900 he says Ds actually insult the gospel by believing that Christ will reign on the earth and bring back full temple sacrifice rather than relying on the sacrifice of Christ. Maybe there are some dispensationalist who think that but I hav enever ever once seen a video or been to a church service or read a book that said this.
@@couriersix7326 awesome. Again, I have lived among evangelical Christians for 38 years, watched videos, and read books about the end times. I have never all that time ever heard someone say that Christ would reinstitute temple sacrifice. Meaning....that interpretation has fallen so out of favor that most people have never even heard of it.
Maybe you have not heard that but I have. I was saved in a Plymouth Brethren church and yes they do believe in two people of God, national - racial Israel and the Church. After the Church gets raptured before the great tribulation the Jews will have a new temple in Jerusalem that the anti-christ will defile. At the end of the 7 year tribulation Christ will come back to reign on earth for 1000 yrs. in Jerusalem and the Jews will make animal sacrifices in the new temple. That is what Dispensationalists believe. If you don't believe that you are not a Dispensationalist. They say that the temple sacrifices are a memorial like communion. Yes it does not make sense to me either that's why I don't believe it anymore.
I am a third year research masters with thesis student covering patristics and eschatology. I dare you to host me. I bet you $20.00 that I will find at least ten errors you guys having concerning “dismantling” Dispensationalism. If I win, you don’t really have to pay me. If you are only concerned with truth, there should be no problem. Looking forward to our debate. FYI: Joel Richardson ran from me because he would have to remake or admit major flaws with two of his videos. Ha ha. Love, Hal Bachman Truett McConnell University student
I'm still a dispensationalists after listening to this video. 😊 I like preachers and teachers like Dr. Peter Ruckman and Dr. David Peacock. Have a good one 👍
Old dispensationalist here. Take my challenge. Take the book of Isaiah in one hand and Calvins commentary on Isaiah in the other. Read through bothe carefully and eatch how he gives the blessings for israel to the church and the curses for Israel to the Jews. If you are ok with this type of theological and mental gymnastics then be my guest.
I don't have to read Calvin I see it in the Bible. Many places but Matthew 23 is a good one. Israel got the promised curses because they rejected their Messiah. The modern nation of Israel is not Biblical Israel. God's people are not any nationality God's people are the Church those who are in Christ.
You’re correct, the fact is this video is just stale recycled anti-dispensational propaganda. It’s incredibly lame. At the end of the day Lutherans are only reformed on the issue of soteriology and even then… barely. They’re Roman Catholic piss poor hermeneutic on every thing else. They couldn’t exegete scripture if they had to, they simply don’t have a hermeneutic that allows for it. Dispensationalism simply is the correct interpretation based on a literal grammatical historical hermeneutic. Literal unless the context absolutely precludes it. It’s really not that hard, allegory is imaginary.
Post Trib rapture is based on scripture. PreTrib rapture is based on conjecture, speculation and misinterpretation of Scripture. Rapture is posttrib and It’s not really debatable. Here are some irrefutable truths. 1. The rapture is AFTER the resurrection. 1 Thessalonians 4. Dead in Christ shall rise first. 2. Jesus said the resurrection is on ‘THE LAST DAY’ over and over and over in John 6. That is the last day of the age of grace. The last day of life without Christ. The last day of the church age. The last day of the New Covenant. The next day starts the millennial kingdom. If the resurrection is ON THE LAST DAY obviously then this means that the rapture is on the last day since the RAPTURE IS AFTER THE RESURRECTION. The rapture is on the last day. 3. The resurrection / rapture is in Rev 20:4. Here we find ‘the last day’. John says he saw the dead come to life. This is the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the rapture is right after it. The rapture is post trib. It is AFTER Rev 5-19. The church goes THROUGH the tribulation. We will not experience Gods wrath just like Israel did not experience Gods wrath when God punished Egypt. And Noah didn’t experience Gods wrath when He flooded the whole earth, but Noah was preserved THROUGH the flood. Not raptured out of it. Israel was not raptured out of Egypt. God will test the church. He will have a pure spotless bride for His Son. Any other position other than a posttrib rapture twists and distorts Gods Word. And then there’s Jesus’ message in Matthew 24:29-31 “But immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days……..And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, ………….And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. ------ Jesus Himself says that He is coming back for His church and will gather it immediately AFTER the tribulation. How can it get ANY CLEARER???? Stop with this false doctrine of a PreTrib rapture. The doctrine of escapism has to be exposed and refuted by the word of God. Too many people planning their escape instead of filling their lamp with oil. Having said this, in Rev 3:10 God promises to keep those who have proven their faithfulness from the hour of testing. Knowing that be so faithful that God keeps you from the tribulation. Remember this promise of Christ is to only ONE of the seven churches in Revelation. One. There are letters to SIX other churches. And remember this verse. Revelation 13:7 It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. -- God will give Antichrist power to persecute and kill His saints. Sounds crazy but that’s His plan. Don’t let people tickle your ears with anything that’s not the truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. Read your Bible. Test your teachers. Reject false teachers. Endure to the end and you will be saved. That’s a promise from God.
No error in dispensationalism in general when righly understood from biblical expisition. The reformers were in error they didnt go far enough in reforming eschatolagy which catholicism and its close off shoots had escatolgy wrong
What? When dispensationalism is rightly understood??? Yeah I understand it very well, I was saved in a Plymouth Brethren church. I understand it backwards and forwards every jot and tidal. It does not conform to the Bible. It destroys the consistency of the salvation story making a distinction of the Church and Israel. The Church IS the new Israel. We are all one in Christ no wall between Jew and Gentile. There can be no more place for a particular nation of God. GOD FULFILLED ALL HIS PROMISES TO ISRAEL.
I remember a time when I could use logic as well as you. Thank God for you. Really good wake up morning get the brain going stuff. Christ could have made this boring in a book three feet thick. Love amoung Christians will show the reason (maybe) why God wrote the Word this way.
"They condemn also others who are now spreading certain Jewish opinions, that before the resurrection of the dead the godly shall take possession of the kingdom of the world, the ungodly being everywhere suppressed." AC XVII.5 This was referring to pre-mill radicals at that time.
Luther as far as i know didn't comment on the prophets. Calvin did but the inconsistency in hiis commentary is comical. Maybe Luther saw this and decided to leave it alone either way the point is that whether you accept the challenge of trying to spiritualize the prophecies concerning Israel as Calvin did or whether you choose to ignore it , as luther did, the end result is similar. You wind up missing the point. The prophets saw the future and neither calvin Luther the pope or modern replacement teachers can change that.
I was saved in a Plymouth Brethren church they do believe in two people of God, national - racial Israel and the Church. After the Church gets raptured before the great tribulation the Jews will have a new temple in Jerusalem that the anti-christ will defile. At the end of the 7 year tribulation Christ will come back to reign on earth for 1000 yrs. in Jerusalem and the Jews will make animal sacrifices in the new temple.

Yes it does not make sense to me either that's why I don't believe it anymore. Reply
The errors in representing dispensationalism are replete in this critique. One example is the mischaracterization of the sacrifices presented at the Temple in Ezekiel after the return of Christ. They are not to atone for sin, as the presenter so glibly implies, but rather a memorial, similar to the Lord’s supper, which is a remembrance of Christ’s death. I would also like to point out that smugness is not a fruit of the Spirit.
You are attributing smugness to the presenter as if you can know his attitude and intent. I could attribute arrogance and impatience to you as failures in manifesting the fruit of the spirit.
@@debblouin when someone misrepresents a viewpoint they disagree with and then chuckle, clearly communicating that they think the erroneous view is ridiculous, I would attribute that to discernment, not arrogance. What would be arrogant, on my part, would be to assume that the misrepresentation is intentional. But I don’t know 100% is this is intentional or not, I’m currently at about 95%. These guys seem to be smart, but how they could get dispensationalism so wrong is puzzling.
Dispensational hermenutic states if it's literal in the old it's lit. In the new. Every sacrifice in Ezek is to atone for sin. Read the text. It never states its a memorial. Jesus is the better sacrifice, the better temple, the better covenant. He fulfils the O.T. promises given to Israel. He is the head of the one new man, the church.
So you believe that if the modern people called Jews in Israel build a temple to sacrifice animals to God, that God would be pleased with that? Have you not read the book of Hebrews? Can't you see that any form of blood sacrifice for sin would now be an abomination?? The blood sacrifice of animals was a symbol of Christ's blood, why would we need another symbol after the real thing?? I would also like to point out that ignorance is also not a fruit of the Spirit.
If lets say that dispensationalists are wrong who said that you are correct??????? You are so wrong Go and read the bible more and dont be focused on your words
I am pretty much convinced of the fulfilled eschatology perspective-preterism. All of the land promises were fulfilled and Israel failed the terms up to and including Messiah. The millennial perspective is taken as a literal 1000 years when everywhere else the 1000 year metaphor was taken as such.
Yes and every time terms like "this generation" , "the time is at hand", "this is the last days" , "I'm coming soon", "the time is near". For a dispensationalist who say they interoperate the Bible literately these mean something else.
Here is the verse you said that "the church in the wilderness is Israel". Steven is making the case for Jesus being the Messiah and at the end of his speech they stoned him. What's your point? 38 This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. He received living oracles to give to us.
The issue is that a PRETRIB rapture is not biblical, not that it doesn’t happen. Mat 24.29-31 is a good overview with details spread out in various books incl Isaiah. It’s basically Christ mustering His glorious army in the sky to take the land like Joshua (Yeshua/Jesus) in the book of Joshua to set up the kingdom on earth for 1000 years conquering all enemies before the Father comes and a new heaven and earth is made.
I support Israel and am quite the Zionist but I am NOT a Zionist due to religion or dispensationalism. The Jews are a plucky people whom I admire and support. I also admire and support other people groups like the Karen and Igbo nations.
Yes I support them too because they give their citizens more freedom than any other mid eastern country, I do not believe that they have anything to do with the Israel of the Bible. God ended that covenant with Jesus's death on the cross and sealed it with His coming of wrath on Jerusalem in 70 AD.
the idea that the "church age".. is seen as a parenthetical interlude... since the Jews by and Large rejected Christ... and thus God had to put plan "B".. into place is just.. insane.. where do these people like this guy come up with this...? God's plan.. was for Christ to come again.. all along.. Jesus Never said.. that He was going.. to take any with Him into heaven at the first coming.. Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost...and to proclaim the Gospel of God.. more clearly.. and bring enlightenment and hope to the Jewish nation.. many Jews refused to accept Jesus as a Savior... but that did not mean that God's plan was Not to save the gentiles before that happened// If anything ... scripture shows us how the salvation and rapture of gentiles in this world... will actually lead the Jews unto salvation.. at this time there is "the national Jewish nation"... and "the chosen Jewish nation"..... the "nationals... are the ones holding on to the belief that Jesus was NOT the Messiah.. come in the flesh...//// "the chosen".. are the ones who in this day DO believe Jesus was the Messiah come in the flesh... when the Rapture comes.. many of those "nationals".. will become the chosen".. of God once again...due to the rapture of the church.. and this "church".. will include.. Jewish Christ believers.. as well as gentile Christ believers.. any believe in Christ will be part of the raptured church.. Jews and Gentiles alike...
Here is what the end time will be. No mention of Israel here. 1Corinthians 15: 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For “God[ has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all. So clearly it says that Jesus will not return to raise the dead or rapture anyone until ALL HIS ENEMIES ARE UNDER HIS FEET. That shows that the ONLY ESCHATOLOGY THAT FITS IS POSTMILLENNIALISM like the parables of the mustard seed and the yeast in the dough and many O.T. prophecies.
@@DebbieBinder-xr8md Jesus will NOT actually return... this is NOT technically "the second coming"... basically what the Rapture.. is.. is like an "alarm".. those who have been saved and STILL alive at this time.. will ascend to Jesus and meet Him in the air... along with those who died.. trusting in Jesus.. the dead in Christ will rise first... what many even our ex- pastor had trouble understanding.. is that Jesus is Not "returning"... to the earth at this point.. He is only calling His sheep unto Him.... 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. here is why God is drawing Israel in such a manner Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. WHEN IS THE FULNESS OF THE GENTILES?.. when Jesus comes and pulls them out of this world at the rapture...! then Israel will take notice.. and many non believing Jews at that time will begin trusting in Jesus.. God by the Rapture.. is using this to give Israel a chance to acknowledge Jesus as their savior... as the Gentiles did.. lets read Hosea 5:15 "I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their------ (the non saved Jewish nation) affliction they will seek me early." then finally Luke 19:42 "I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early." the Rapture MUST come before the tribulation in order to give the Jewish nation a chance to accept Jesus as their Savior...
The 7 year tribulation is an outrageous lie. Daniel 9 was fulfilled by Jesus Christ affirming the New Covenant both before and after His crucifixion. This was proved empirically by James Ussher in his work Annals.
Crazy made up stuff. I believe the Bible. I understand there are different types of literary styles in the Bible and try to be sure i understand which one is being used in the passage i am reading. I am learning Greek and Hebrew so i can read the text in its original langues and have several interpretations of the Bible to compare and contrast. I know hermeneutics and understand context. Doing these things along with prayer and i think i am good.
And there is no Scriptural basis for it unless one inserts preconceived notions into the dispensationalist passages. Dispensationalisim is the GOAT at taking individual lines of Scripture out of context and pasting them together to mean something entirely different.
Because we read our Bibles? What does this say about how we should understand the book of Revelation: 1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. The key to understand is - MUST SOON TAKE PLACE and FOR THE TIME IS NEAR. If you understand those two phrases and look to first century history and understand a bit of O.T. prophetic language it is easy to see that THE GREAT TRIBULATION has already taken place. G
If you don't understand dispensationalism, then you don't understand the mysteries revealed to Paul. You probably believe in doctrines of men. If you can't rightly divide scripture, then you probably don't know if you are saved or not. I'll pray for you all.
@@tedbastwock3810 It's because you have a bad Perversion of scripture. That's why you can't comprehend. Satan uses the word of God also, and perverts it. Try a KJV, it's not perfect, but it's 99% better than the modern perversions.

1st Corinthians 15:51 ! One of seven mysteries in Apostle Paul’s writings describing the pre trib rapture. Don’t give me the Darby garbage. If you are not studying out of a flawless King James Bible you’ll never get it because ALL modern so-called bibles are grossly corrupted. Repent of refusing to study the way God says to or lose eternal reward.
Its because they see The return of JESUS CHRIST as man AND NOT LIKE GOD JOHN 10 V 30 )says I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.(REVELATION 1) THE I AM WHO IS WHO WAS AND WERE TO COME,they are still fleshly people and dont at all understand that GODS KINGDOM IS SPIRITUAL.Their believe is riducilous.
No it is not. There is an Old Testament/Covenant and a New Testament/Covenant. The new replaced the old there is one body of Christ, one people, one kingdom every promise given to Israel is fulfilled totally in Christ, PERIOD!
@DebbieBinder-xr8md you missed the mysteries revealed by Paul and replaced complicated nuanced doctrine with black and white thinking in stubborn conceit. Israel has experienced a hardening in part UNTIL the fullness of the Gentiles has come in AND THEN, ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED. the deliverer will come from zion and turn goddesses away from Jacob(israel)
@DebbieBinder-xr8md the covenants are theirs(national Israel's) paul says. "The gift and calling of God are irrevocable paul says God's covenant and promised with them cannot be taken back, lost or reversed. SATAN THE ACCUSER IS ON NOTICE!! GODS WORD WILL NOT RETURN VOID.
No sense in arguing with these fools, they’re reformed Roman Catholic. They don’t have a legitimate hermeneutic that allows them to exegete scripture accurately. They will be stuck in the dark until Christ returns for the church and then they will be ashamed. “Oh you really meant a literal kingdom?” “Ya I only said it over and over again”. They’re foolish men holding onto the tradition of men.
@@TedMyrrh Israel is the Church, it’s Christian’s who are Israel by faith. You have to ignore an enormous amount of the Bible to come to this dispensational conclusion, (maybe you read the Schofield Bible?). What’s crazy is the ENTIRE Church for THOUSANDS of years were not even remotely Dispensational, they absolutely rejected any insinuation in that direction as heresy. Your current dispensational views are a modern innovation that doesn’t exist until late 19th century, largely popularized by the Schofield Bible. Also biblical Israel absolutely is NOT the current secular modern anti-Christ nation state created a few decades ago who currently call themselves “Israel”… remember “those who say they are Jews but are not, they are the Synagogue of Satan” the Old Testament Hebrews are NOT the various racial/ethic groups who call themselves Jews/israel today. That’s a fact. Their faith is not the Old Testament faith either.. The Ancient Hebrews no longer exist, Gods covenant is with Christians through Christ. Only way to the father is through the son. You CANNOT be Saved without Christ. If you don’t believe that you’re by definition not a Christian. There is no Covenant with God without our Lord Jesus.
@@ScribeAliciousI think you should read the Bible for what it says….Jesus coming in “the glory of the father” was never about a physical coming or a physical resurrection…..it was “coming to life” as in the life giving reconciliation BACK to the God as in the garden of Eden…..sorry you feel that way, but God bless you
You should look into apocalyptic literature written in biblical times and see how they wrote, it is different than what we know today….also, Jesus did not agree with the Sadducees on their belief in no resurrection, and he also did not teach the physical resurrection the Pharisees taught….he refuted that while talking to Martha about Lazarus “rising on the last day”…..Jesus was the resurrection aka reconciliation back to the life giving spirit of the Father, the one true God….you may feel free to comment further but I suggest you also see what other “traditions of man” have been brought into the “church circle”….i will not have a back and forth on it, I have said what I have felt led to say…..it’s wonderful you have Jesus though ❤
All Christians do believe in the rapture. The rapture has to do with what happens to living Saints at the return of Christ. The point of disagreement among all traditions is the timing of that event not the event itself.
Good point. I think most are wrong in thinking that the Rapture will be a physical rising up off the earth. My conviction is that it is a spiritual inner event corresponding to the maximum filling and sealing of the saints by the Holy Spirit.
@@thenowchurch6419 It is how the biblical societies would go out to greet/welcome special guests. If they heard that the king was coming, the whole town would go out to meet him and walk with him back to their city/town. Two examples of this found in the Bible is: with the Triumphal Entry when the people went out to lay palm branches on the street leading Jesus into Jerusalem; and in Acts 28:13-16 when Paul was going up into Rome, people from a distance away came out to meet Paul and walk with him as he entered Rome. So on the Last Day when the King of kings returns to earth, those who have obeyed the King's commands will rise up to meet Him in the air as fire consumes the old earth of the sin/curse. Then as the new earth unfolds, we return with Him to live and reign with Him forever and ever. Come Lord Jesus!
😵💫The death knell of Dispensationalism is inter alia located in the 1917 Scofield "Bible" at Scofield's commentary on John 1:17, to wit: "...As a dispensation, grace begins with the death and resurrection of Christ ... The point of testing is no longer legal obedience as the condition of salvation, but acceptance or rejection of Christ..." but what does God say in Romans 4:8 "...for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness..." hence Abraham was saved by the grace of God through the faith of Jesus Christ [Romans 3:22 LXX] - for the Law was not only given to Moses AFTER Abraham's death [except if you take the 1st law as obedience to God, Gen 2:16&17] but alas there is no salvation but through Jesus Christ - Acts 4:12. And we all know Abe was a sinner; lying and scheming.
Standing on the shoulders of giants who did not know the scriptures who did not believe the scriptures and who killed Baptist yes your blessed Martin Luther murdered bible-believing Christians. You need to read the Bible not the supposed Giants to get your biblical interpretation. The Bible is a book you must read with the right spirit and you must have the Holy Spirit to be The Interpreter thereof. Go get a Bible put down all of these books that these Giants have written,and ask God to show you the truth and read and keep reading if your heart is right before God then God will show you the truth. Romans 13:11-14 (KJV) 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
@@ScholasticLutherans you've been given the truth. The early Protestants were murderers of Bible believing Christians teachers of heretical Doctrine and Bible rejecters. Please read your Bible and stop listening to intellectual theologians you know nothing about scripture neither believe it. You don't need another man to show you what the Bible teaches you need the Holy Spirit a willing heart and time reading and studying
@@ScholasticLutherans is biblical scriptural truth funny to you? It is a very dangerous situation to be in because you will be judged by God and he will use one thing for that judgment ,the book that you are currently laughing at. Get ready for the Judgment seat of Christ my friend it is not going to be a fun place for those who reject God's dispensational truth found within his perfect preserved words found only in the authorized version the King James Bible.

New Covenant Whole Gospel: How many Christians cannot honestly answer the first three questions below?
Who is now the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary?
God is not now a "racist". He has extended His love to all races of people through the New Covenant fulfilled by His Son's blood at Calvary.
If anything, rapture is a very liberal take. It's a very liberal interpretation.
@@VndNvwYvvSvv the rapture is a small part of a dispensationalism it's about looking at what the prophets wrote and believing it. There is no way to make the prophecies fit the church. The dispersion, the return to a baran land, the land giving her fruit,the jealousy of her neighbors etc
Sorry man I don’t agree to 80% of your preaching. You are rong in many areas in dispensationalism and you’re mostly talking in one particular group area. There are many different views and groups in dispensationalism and you’re right many groups are wrong in their views. I myself listen to JEAN Kim, Andy Woods, but my top guy is Amar, who is a messianic Jew in Israel. Even though I might not agree with all of their views altogether in my mind they make up the truth, even though Each one of them are not completely right, so in order to learn dispensationalism properly you have to have a few teachers under your belt and that takes multiple years of study just in dispensationalism. I am 50 years old and I have been studying gentile churches of all types since I was about 12. But at the same time, I don’t discount some of the teachings in a gentle church. But I am still a dispensationonolist. Before you put out videos like this, you need a lot more study
Reformed baptist here. I used to be a dispy premil, but recently came out of it and now am an amillennialist.
Watch the baptism video bro. I went out of being a "reformed" Baptist to actually being reformed.
Next stop : Post Mil 😂
I used to be a dispensationalist but now my beliefs are that of a Reformed Baptist. One of the problems that I have with election is that some ethnic groups have a higher % of saved people than others. I am half Japanese. Few people in Japan care for the gospel. Compared to South Korea Christian churches in Japan seem small and insignificant. Among Blacks there is definetly a higher % of saved people than among other ethnic groups. This, of course, does not excuse the evils of slavery. In Canada many Natives claim Christ as Saviour. One interesting fact about Canadian Natives is that very few are Baptists. Baptists have been in Canada since the 1740's. Pentecostals have been in Canada since about 1905. Yet Pentecostals have been more successful in evangelising Natives than Baptists. Many of the Africans coming to Canada are devout Christians. Many of the Blacks coming to Canada from the Caribbean are also devout Christians. On the other hand any Japanese person who is a Christian laments the fact that few Japanese people care for the gospel.
@@roberteaston6413 how do you know those people are genuinely saved, though? And if few people in Japan care for the Gospel, that only means they need more preaching, more calls for repentance. I hear that adultery and prostitution is extremely common and normalized in Japan- wherever darkness is, the light of the Gospel is also needed.
There was a time when sub-saharan Africa, the far east and the Americas had never heard the Gospel. There was a time when only the Israelites and those sojourning in and amongst them had heard of the Living God. We shouldn't be worried with how "few" people are saved, but rather marvel at His mercy in saving any of us. Nobody can be deserving of the blood of God to pay the price for the blood upon our own heads. We have a merciful God who hears those who do not deserve it, and inclines His ears to their sorrows, who adopts them as His own sons and daughters.
@@jakebarnes3054 My mother was Japanese and lived in Japan up until 1956. She told me that growing up in Japan whenever a boy turned 18 his father would take him to a whorehouse as a way of introducing him to adulthood. This practice was so common that when she came to Canada she was surprised that it was not practiced in Canada and the USA. The Japanese have no concept of sin. They have a concept of shame but have no concept of sinning against a holy God.
This was one of the most comprehensive and exhaustive videos on this subject I’ve seen thank you!
This is a fantastic video. Incredibly thorough. Thank you for this!
Philip Mauro's Gospel of the Kingdom is a great refutation of the 7 dispensations and other Scofield study bible notes. He was an ex-dispensationalist who joined the Episcopal church. Also, Edward J. Young's The Prophecy of Daniel: A Commentary is also helpful.
Thanks for commenting these, I'll look into them!
@@ScholasticLutheransMauro wrote two books in this area, the other is called “the Israel of God”.
His "refutation" is mere opinion with very poor proper biblical interpretation. The fact that he would join the Episcopal Church is proof enough that he had serious interpretive problems.
@@davidcooper12011000% amen
@@davidcooper1201 whether that’s true or not, does not make Dispensationalism biblically correct. All faithful Christians need to reject this asap (luckily most Christian’s are not dispensational, it’s only mainly SOME baptists in America, which luckily the younger generations are rejecting this) the entirety of the Christian Church & faith have rejected this as well.
I come from a Dispensationalist upbringing. But as I did my own study, I've come to understand my Bible differently (Gal. 3: 24-29, Eph. 2: 14-16). It seems many have allowed Dispensationalism to shape how they read and interpret Scripture rather than allowing Scripture to speak for itself and shape their belief system. Scripture's focus is God's True Israel, Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, ethnic Israel seems to have become the center of Dispensationalism. This has made the Christian church easily manipulated by the world and the enemy of our souls, since many hold on to this system of belief.😢
May we take a step back and objectively but prayerfully evaluate where Dispensationalism has brought the world (especially Western civilization) today. Thank you.🙏😇
You are so wrong in your understanding. Israel, who is God's Chosen People as a nation, has a very key part in the end times theology. Romans 11 should make it clear to you that God is not finished with Israel and will graft them back into the root of the vine of Abraham as he had grafted the Gentiles into the vine through Christ, he will also do so with the nation of Israel as a whole. Why is it that I sense a great animosity from covenant theologians toward God's chosen People? Paul, the Apostle, is quick to alert Gentiles that we were on the outside and that God hardened Jacob's heart so that He could have mercy upon us . We were grafted into to the root of the vine and He argues, what makes you think that God can't (and won't) re-graft the Chosen People of God back into the root from where it came? I think you should go back to your study and see where you went wrong. The most influential preachers of the gospel today hold to a dispensational systematic theology and God has seen to it for a reason. We do not preach other than salvation comes by the God-Man, Jesus Christ, the Lord and that this salvation comes by faith through the grace of God for forgiveness of sins and being placed into a right relationship with God. We just happen to believe the whole council of God in His Word and believe what God has promised to Israel shall come to pass and they, too, must as a Nation come to faith in Christ and they will according to the whole counsel of God's Word. Saying that Jesus is the true Israel is nonsensical. Jesus is the Son of God, born of the seed of David but nowhere is Jesus called Israel. Israel is the Nation which is God's Chosen People and as such, according to Romans 11 will be grafted back into the root of the vine, Abraham, from where it came. Jesus, as the savior of Jew and Gentile.....remember the gospel was preached first to the Jew, then to the Gentile, and as most of the Jews rejected their Messiah the gospel was preached to the Gentiles that God might have mercy on us all. The absurdity of the minister's presentation is that most dispensationalists, like myself, that I know are busy about preaching the gospel and seeking to win both Gentiles and Jews to faith in Jesus Christ. This Zionism is blown way out of proportion because its only import to me as a minister is what God will do in keeping His promises to Israel which covenant theologians seem to just blow off as though all of the promises of God to Israel have been ceded to the Church. That is absurd. Israel, who had become scattered and was not a nation became a nation again in 1948, the first time this has ever happened in history and now in accordance with the prophecies of Ezekiel, Israel is preparing to build a third temple. These fulfillments are in accordance with God's Word and shall come to pass. And yes, there will be a literal 1,000 year reign of Jesus Christ on earth to fulfill God's promises to Israel and will also demonstrate that God is just in His judgments of mankind because even in a period of justice and righteousness, men will rebel. You don't have to believe it, but you cannot stop God from fulfilling His promises to Israel. God has spoken and it shall be done.
@@davidcooper1201 I lovingly urge you, brother to allow Scripture to speak for itself and form your system of belief. Not the other way around. Sadly, the majority in the church today practice the latter over the former. Thus, they miss out on very precious truths that have already been revealed to us by God in His Word through the Holy Spirit. Such a mindset has resulted to much impotence in the Christian church that should be having a more positive influence on the world today. Dispensationalism has limited our understanding of Scripture to the literal. Even Dispensationalist preachers themselves also do not interpret all Scripture literally. That is because not all literary genre can be interpreted that way, and there are different genres in God's Word. One who confines himself to a single approach to studying Scripture has already made his first wrong step that increases as he continues in that path.
Indeed ethnic Israel has a specific role to carry out in God's sovereign redemptive plan. And their rejection of Jesus Christ was part of it, that brought the Gospel to us. Thus, we are to be humbled and grateful to God. But Christ Himself said that "The Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation, producing the fruit of it." (Matt 21:43) Such was the mystery revealed to the Apostle Paul. For God's ultimate plan is not for the salvation and redemption of the Jews alone but for the Gentiles and His entire creation! For there is only one tree and one root who is God. The natural branches is ethnic Israel. Some were broken off because of unbelief so we, Gentiles might be grafted in. Thus, the Apostle Paul states that all of us are one in Christ (Gal. 3:28). This simply supports his theological presentation in Romans as to how and when Abraham was declared righteous, which was prior to his circumcision (ergo as a Gentile) that is but a sign of his faith in God.
Hebrews notes Abel, Enoch, Noah, etc. (non-Jews, ergo, Gentiles too but who have the same faith as Abraham's) as partakers of what we have in Christ by faith. Indeed God is not through with Israel as with the other nations. Thus, may we all the more carry out the Great Commission. And as we do so, let us focus more on the One True Israel of God, the Lord Jesus (Matt. 2:13-14) who tore down the dividing wall between Jew and Gentile because God's goal is to make us, "one new man" in Christ (Eph. 2:14). Please notice too that the Lord Jesus has only one bride, not two. I will also not postpone Christ's kingship and rule as Scripture declares it (Dan. 7:13-14, Matt. 28:18 & ff, Lk. 11:17-20) I recognize His kingship and rule here and now because of three reasons: 1) God said it, 2) it was the secret to the success of the early church, and 3) it is what our world desperately needs today. So let's do our part in this. Thank you.
@@AgeDeo2009 Good reply. Thank you.
@@gaylenhalbert4391 Thank you for the compliment. May we all learn not to be content with applying Sola Scriptura, (making Scripture the only standard for our faith) May we even go farther and practice Tota Scriptura (viewing and understanding Scripture as a whole and how each part is interconnected to one another) that we may arrive at a holistic understanding of God's Holy Word and know Him more. 🙏🙂

Rejecting dispensationalism was also my gateway to eventually landing in the LCMS.
What I find most perplexing about dispensationalism is that most of them today would reject some of Darby/Scofield’s more outlandish takes, such as separate salvation plans for Jews and Gentiles, that Jesus and Paul preached two different gospels, etc., yet these are central to Darby’s system. I don’t understand the impulse to reinvent the theology that has such glaring issues.
This piecemeal way of doing theology is also a problem with Evangelicalism. It mixes and matches random parts of various other theological systems without any systematic case whatsoever.
Most such movements today operate from the the U.S. where there is a conservative anti-intellectual trend and a failed education system.
Dispensationalism can only thrive in such conditions.
LCMS? What does that stand for?

This video is underrated! It gave me a lot of scriptures I hadn’t considered in regards to this topic. Now I have a lot more to deep dive into!
I could understand the machiavellian actions of neocons, but I couldn't understand how Christians could support them. It makes more sense now.
8:07 If dispensationalists really believe there were "jews" during the lifetime of Jacob, then that should be enough to discredit the entire doctrine. Or are you playing a little loose with their language here?
@tedbastwock3810 jews are israelites God changed Jacob's ne to israel. Jacob's sons are the twelve tribes of Israel. "Jew" is a term evolved from one of the tribes "judah"
The word Jew was a shortened form for the people of Judah. A historical fact which is true to this very day. But as Paul revealed in Romans 3-8, we are under the dispensation of Grace now explained by The concept of the "testator" in the Book of Hebrews 9:16-17 (KJV):
> "For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth."
Context and Meaning:
Testament: This refers to a covenant or will, similar to a legal document that specifies the distribution of an inheritance.
Testator: The person who establishes the covenant or will, and whose death is required to make the testament valid.
In the theological context of Hebrews:
The "testator" is Christ, who established the new covenant (testament) between God and humanity.
His death was necessary for the new covenant to take effect, just as a will is only activated upon the death of the one who made it.
Through His death, Christ fulfilled the requirements of the old covenant and inaugurated the new covenant, granting eternal redemption to believers.
This passage emphasizes the necessity of Christ's sacrifice to establish the new covenant and bring about the promised inheritance of eternal life.
The new covenant required the death of Jesus and the will to be pronounced. The brought in the dispensation of Grace.
Thank you for pointing out the selective literalism of the dispensationalists. Many people take it for granted that dispensationalism is supposedly "literal" but that is a fallacy and a source of great deception which pre-supposes that we who do not believe in a pre-tribulation rapture as not taking the Bible literally or even worse, seriously.
Thank you brother .... a really valuable work !
New Covenant Whole Gospel: How many modern Christians cannot honestly answer the questions below?
Who is the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Who is the “son” that is the “heir” to the land in Matthew 21:37-43? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary?
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.
God is not now a “racist”. He has extended His love to all races of people through the New Covenant fulfilled by His Son’s blood at Calvary. The Apostle Paul warned against using “genealogies” in our faith in 1 Tim. 1:4, and Titus 3:9.
====
Who is really teaching “Replacement Theology” ?
(Did God fulfill His promises to the Jewish people at Calvary? Matthew 26:28, John 19:30)
The advocates of modern Dispensational Theology often accuse others of promoting “Replacement Theology”, or some may even say “Antisemitism”. What does the Bible say about their accusations?
1. Who is replacing Christ as the seed of Abraham through which all the families of the Earth would be blessed in Genesis 12:3, with Abraham’s modern descendants? (See Paul’s interpretation in Galatians 3:8, 3:16.)
2. Who is replacing the one people of God in John 10:16, with two peoples of God ?
3. Who is replacing the one seed (Christ) in Galatians 3:16, with the many seeds?
4. Who is replacing the children of the promise in Romans 9:8, with the children of the flesh?
5. Who is replacing the word “remnant” in Romans 9:27, with the word “nation”?
6. Who is replacing the faithful “remnant” of Israelites in Romans 11:1-5, with the Baal worshipers?
7. Who is replacing the word "so" in Romans 11:26, with the word "then"?
8. Who is attempting to replace the Church made up of all races of people, with one made up only of Gentiles? Why did Peter address the crowd as “all the house of Israel” in Acts 2:36, when about 3,000 Israelites accepted Christ on the Day of Pentecost?
9. Based on Hebrews 12:18-24, the New Covenant cannot be separated from the Messiah’s death. Is the covenant in Daniel 9:27 connected to the Messiah’s death in Daniel 9:26. Is the covenant with the “many” in Daniel 9:27 the same covenant with the “many” in Matthew 26:28? If it is, some have replaced the New Covenant in Daniel 9:27 with a future covenant made by an antichrist not found in Daniel chapter 9. (See the 1599 Geneva Bible used by the Pilgrims.)
10. Those promoting the Two Peoples of God doctrine of Dispensational Theology often accuse others of teaching “Replacement Theology”, but are they the masters of it? Are they promoting a form of Dual Covenant Theology based on race? (See “genealogies” in Titus 3:9) Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel? 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? 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?
11. Watch the UA-cam video “Genesis of Dispensational Theology” to see the origin of this man-made doctrine, which is less than 200 years old. It was brought to the United States about the time of the Civil War by John Nelson Darby. The doctrine was later incorporated into the notes of the Scofield Reference Bible, and then spread through much of the modern Church.
Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas Texas was created in part to promote John Darby’s Two Peoples of God doctrine of Dispensational Theology.
Lewis Sperry Chafer, the first president of Dallas Theological, had the following to say about the difference between Israel and the Church:
“The dispensationalist believes that throughout the ages God is pursuing two distinct purposes: one related to the earth with earthly people and earthly objectives involved which is Judaism; while the other is related to heaven with heavenly people and heavenly objectives involved, which is Christianity.”
Lewis Sperry Chafer, Dispensationalism (Dallas, Seminary Press, 1936), p. 107.
Chafer states that, ‘Israel is an eternal nation, heir to an eternal land, with an eternal kingdom, on which David rules from an eternal throne,’ that is, on earth and distinct from the church who will be in heaven.”
Lewis Sperry Chafer. Systematic Theology. 1975. Vol. IV. pp. 315-323.
John Walvoord, another prominent voice of Dallas Theological stated…
"...it is an article of normative dispensational belief that the boundaries of the land promised to Abraham and his descendants from the Nile to the Euphrates will be literally instituted and that Jesus Christ will return to a literal and theocratic Jewish kingdom centred on a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. In such a scheme the Church on earth is relegated to the status of a parenthesis.”
John F. Walvoord, The Rapture Question.1979, p. 25
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are there two peoples of God in John 10:16? (See also 1 John 2:22-23, 2 John 1:7-11.)
What is the land promise to the Old Testament Saints in Hebrews 11:15-16?
(See what Joshua said about the Old Covenant land promise in Josh. 21:43.)
Based on 2 Peter 3:10-13, is this earth “eternal”? Will it be replaced by a new earth?
Based on Acts 2:36, and Romans 9:6-8, and Romans 11:1-5, and Hebrews 12:22-24, and James 1:1-3, can faithful Israel and the Church be separated into two different groups?
Who is the New Covenant promised to in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and is it fulfilled by the blood of Christ at Calvary in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 12:18-24?
Will modern Orthodox Jews ever be saved outside of the New Covenant Church, if the New Covenant is “everlasting” in Hebrews 13:20? (See also 2 Thess. 1:7-10) If the New Covenant has made the Old Covenant “obsolete” in Hebrews 8:6-13, why would God go back to the Old Covenant system during a future time period?
Read the recent book "The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism", by Daniel G. Hummel...
You covered everything I would have said, THANK YOU now I don't need to comment on this.
Excellent! Thank you. I'm already forgetting bits so I'll be listening to it again.
It’s a good thing that none of this has anything to do with salvation.
Thanks for the excellent and enlightening points!
You make a lot of good points in this! Particularly in relation to the role the crucifixion plays in the redemption plan. The "happy accident"; "plan B". LOL Problem is Revelation says Jesus was the "lamb slain from the foundation of the world". Thus there's no way redemption could have been predicated upon anyone rejecting Christ. (Thus the segue into the doctrine of election.) And this is why I would say the culmination of history from God's intended purpose is the resurrection and 2nd would be the incarnation.
Good job though; informative and entertaining too!
39:53-40:02, “for those that are mid-tribulational or post-tribulational, they can just calculate the days”. I am a “historic premillennial / post-trib”, could you expound what you mean by that?
They believe Christ’s second coming would be exactly, either 3.5 years (mid-trib) or 7 years (post-trib) after the rapture of the church. So they can calculate Christ’s exact coming after seeing the rapture 🤷♂️
@@americanslav9694 posttrib does not posit a 7 year tribulation AFTER the rapture, but rather a 7 year tribulation from the rapture. As far as I remember, they believe the parousia/advent to be concurrent with the rapture of the Church. It is the dispensationalists that believe the rapture to be before the 7 year tribulation. Seemingly the only way for one to “calculate” the rapture and parousia/advent would be by knowing the timing of when the tribulation begins.
@@SlaveofGod The Video is referring to post-trib/mid-drib dispensationalists
Wow you're the first other person who finally admits the bride is the new Jerusalem. Bravo 👏 that is such a trigger verse for people.
I must be thankful, in a way, for dispensationalism being so alarmingly wrong that it repelled me into Orthodoxy.
A novel dispensationalism has replaced Christ with a re-emerged national Israel as the sacred centrepiece of redemptive history and biblical prophecy. ✔️
You are 100% correct!
No. Christ is the center, its just that Israel has a part to play in the end times. From my perspective many of you dont WANT Isreal or the Jews to really be part of the story anymore. Often when this topic is discussed The anti-Dispensationalist, will start demanding that the dispensationalist tell them "Just how much money are we supposed to give to Israel? HUH!? HUH!? Are you even an american? Do you know how many Jews run all the companies?" I'm not saying your such a person. Its just such a strange bizare trend that runs through it, this desire for the Jews story to be done and a rejection of the prophecies that Israel would become a nation again during a time when the messiah was a banner for all the nations, or the everlasting promise that a remnant of the Jews would be preserved and Israel would belong to them forever.
Yes
Same with Isaiah 53. The true ‘replacement theology’.
Try running that concept through the book of Hebrews.
Elijah said he was the only one left. God told Elijah there were 7000 left and there will always remain a remnant.
@@timgregory2296 Yeah you're correct, this was a mistake on my part. I cringe on this mistake from time to time. Point stands though, that it was a small number.

Dispensationalism IS UGLY. I know of many so-called Christians who are obsessed with Israel and the 3rd Temple + the rapture.
None of them share their faith and read the Bible every day. Their knowledge of Creation is not good too
This is fantastic. Thank you.
Plenty of good points. I would like to ask however, what's your take on Isaiah 53:5 (KJV):
> "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
Charismatics take this verse and build entire doctrines on healing. They say we are Healed already and through faith receive it. Yet if we honestly assess what their T.V. shows and youtube healing videos show there is no proved healings shown ever. As a result they claim power but never demonstrate it. It makes them liars. Then they blame those that don't get healed on not having enough faith. When the service is over they fly away on private jets while their customers die.

@@CieloVistaSoftware Show me where it says that in the Bible, so that I too may share in this Spiritual wisdom. Do you even own a Bible, or is this something someone told you?
Dispensationalism is a quintessentially American heresy, much like the Jehovah Witnesses, Mormonism, and Seventh Day Adventists. Neither the Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Anglicans, Coptic, Syrian, Russian Orthodox, or Greek Orthodox Christians believe in Dispensationalism. It is followed primarily by white U.S. Evangelicals and/or Southern Baptists and the missionary Churches they have influenced.
*This is what Jesus said regarding Israel.*
"Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? Therefore I TELL YOU THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL BE TAKEN WAY FROM YOU and given to a people who will produce its fruit." Matthew 21:42-43.
"They will level you to the ground- you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, BECAUSE YOU DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE TIME OF YOUR VISITATION FROM THE LORD.” Luke 19:44.
*This is what the Prophet Micah said.*
"Therefore night will come over you without visions, and darkness without divination. The sun will set on these prophets, and the daylight will turn black over them.
Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be disgraced. They will all cover their mouths because there is no answer from God.
As for me, however, I am filled with power by the Spirit of the LORD, with justice and courage, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.
Now hear this, O leaders of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and pervert all that is right, who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets practice divination for money.
Yet they lean upon the LORD, saying, “is not the LORD among us? No disaster can come upon us."
Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge." Micah 3:6-12.
Would you say there's a real difference between dispensationalism and restorationism? It seems to me that Baha'i, Islam, Mormonism, JW, etc. are all just following dispensationalism to it's logical conclusion.
I'd say so because most dispensationalists I know wouldn't say that the Church apostatized for 1800 years. They will argue that dispensationalism has some roots in Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, Hippolytus, etc. and eschatology simply wasn't the focus for a while to discover these truths.
@@ScholasticLutherans That's an excellent point. Thank you.
One difference though is that Evangelical Dispensationalism includes an escape for them called the Pre-Trib Rapture while those other movements do not.
absurd comparison. You show you know nothing about dispensational systematic theology. It is just rhetoric.
Yes, dispensationalisim is just as much a heresy as those.
Regarding the Roman destruction of the temple, it was prophecy foundcin Deuteronomy 29 being fulfilled due to their disobedience. They've been mostly a wanderer Jew since then and suffered terrible consequences every since then. What did Spain do in 1492? Or Hitler in 1942? Iran, this year? Disobedience brought the continued judgement as well as the new dispensation of Grace.
What’s interesting is that Free Grace Theology depends on Dispensationalism. If Dispensationalism isn’t true, Free Grace Theology logically falls too.
I didn’t know I was a “dispo” until now. It’s just want I’ve found in my own reading. lol. Most of the added commentary about Dispo I haven’t agreed with. Both of those who are ‘for’ and ‘against’ Dispo.
What I find to be obvious are the different ways in which God has interacted with man over distinct stretches of time. Pre-fall, pre-flood, pre-law, pre-Holy Spirit, and pre-mil kingdom. (I don’t care how someone might argue there’s 4 or 7 of these eras.)
I don’t find relevance in converting this into an academic argument, but only for the Dispo function to be a theme that is identifiable over the whole span of God’s self-revealing purpose.
I interpret the mil kingdom as literal because it’s laid out is such detail that it begins to beg the question: how is this not literal but Genesis and Leviticus are?!
But take nothing from me as I count the commentaries and studies of God’s word by men to be self-exalting. It’s the Holy Spirit that teaches. Not me. I’m a fool.
Edit: I’m a false Dispo! The Church is the new Israel, I agree. But I also see there will be a time of completion for the National Israel. A promise made to a distinct people. A better promise later made, but the previous promise still brought to full revelation. To show angel and man what the design should have been with man, but man failing.
I know a theologian with 4 degrees including 2 doctorates. He said to me that "Dispensationalism is a dangerous heresy "!
There were only two dispensations in human history ... one before the cross, and the second one after the cross.
Although I disagree with you, let me say I appreciate you engaging with us as brothers. I also appreciate the Clarence Larkin chart photo! Now, There is nothing nonsensical about Ryries position on The Sermon on the Mount, since it is preparing Christ’s audience to live in a manner fit for the kingdom by declaring the rule of life for the kingdom, and they must live this way to enter the kingdom (Matt. 3:8; 5:20; 25:34-46), this is why Ryrie says Matt. 5-7 is about Israel’s kingdom life (and not the body of Christ in this dispensation, although there’s marvelous application for today) even though it speaks about suffering because Israel must suffer (the 70th week, “Great Tribulation”) before it enters the Kingdom.
Are you aware that what you mention about the Sermon on The Mount being taught by Ryrie, was not taught before him at DTS. DTS taught that what Jesus taught on the Sermon on The Mount was in the future. Chafer taught three groups of people: Jews, gentiles, and the church. Compare that to what Paul writes in Philippians 3:1-3 "1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you. 2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision; 3 for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh, If anyone uses a systematic theology to interpret that is eisegesis. The correct interpretation starts with the text itself and then interpreting in light of its historical and literary context. A careful study of apocalyptic literature solves many problems about how to interpret that literature. Books by David Aune, Earle Eliis, and most any good Bible dictionary such as Dictionary of Biblical Imagery, and Dictionary of the Old Testament: Prophets is a good place to start. Fee and Stuart have a chapter on how to interpret apocalyptic literature and what characterizes that kind of literature.
@@geraldpolmateer3255 Well I know the Scofield Reference Bible made it clear that the Sermon still carries “beautiful moral application” for the member of the body of Christ even though Matt. 5-7 isn’t speaking to us directly. In Matthew 25 Rev. EW Bullinger states “The Parable has nothing to do with the Church to-day as to interpretation, though there is the same solemn application as to watchfulness.” (The Companion Bible, 1367). I’m sorry DTS in its earlier days apparently wasn’t as clear as previous dispensationalists were.
Scofield had a protégé named Lewis Sperry Chafer and Chafer started DTS and Chafer had a pupil and protege of his who was raised in his church and Chafer made arrangements for him to attend DTS, his name was Charles F. Baker who became a theologian right after Chafer. Baker wrote:
“The true dispensationalist first of all affirms that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is all profitable (2 Timothy 3:15, 16). He makes a careful distinction between the interpretation of a passage and an application of it. Any one passage has only one true interpretation, the literal and primary meaning, whereas it might have many applications. He tests all Scripture by the completed and final revelation given to the apostle Paul, and all truth from Genesis to Revelation which dovetails with Pauline truth he has every right to apply to himself.” (Baker, Studies in Dispensational Relationships, pg. 60)
WHEN IS THE RAPTURE / RESURRECTION?
In Revelation 20:4-6 the last book of the Bible there are only 2 more FUTURE Resurrections (Raptures) spoken of: (after the 2 witnesses appear)
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the FIRST RESURRECTION. or rapture
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the FIRST RESURRECTION: on such the SECOND DEATH hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
In the above scriptures, these are the Martyrs. John said "this is the first resurrection." John didn't say this is the "second phase of the first resurrection," as pre-tribbers claim.
If this is the FIRST resurrection, can there be a resurrection before this one? Of course not, unless you want to ADD to the bible which is forbidden!
The First Resurrection is of the dead in Christ and the Second is after 1000 years. Paul wrote that the Dead in Christ MUST rise FIRST, THEN we who are alive and remain will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
16 ...and the dead in Christ shall RISE FIRST
17 THEN we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them...
In Rev. 20:4-5, John sees the souls of Saints who were BEHEADED for refusing the Mark of the Beast during the Great Tribulation. John writes that they will rise and reign with Christ for 1000 years and that this is the FIRST RESURRECTION!
If according to John, the beheaded rise in the FIRST resurrection and Paul said those who are alive and remain are not caught up until AFTER the dead in Christ are resurrected, then this means the catching up or rapture takes place AFTER tribulation!
Now compare the above with 1 CORINTHIANS 15:20-23:
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of those who slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; AFTERWARDS THOSE WHO ARE CHRIST'S AT HIS COMING.
Notice only one resurrection of the dead in Christ is mentioned here! Which, according to Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 must take place BEFORE we who are alive and remain are "caught up" with them!
When did Jesus say the dead in Christ would be resurrected?
John 6:39-40: Jesus said, "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up ON THE LAST DAY.
John 6:44: Jesus said, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up ON THE LAST DAY."
Is the LAST DAY the thousand year reign of Christ?
I believe so....then it is eternity and time is counted no more
So if Jesus himself said the dead in Christ will be raised on the LAST DAY, and Paul said we who are alive and remain will not be caught up (raptured) until AFTER the dead are raised, then where does secret pre-trib rapture fit in?
Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:52 - In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMP last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
We are changed at the LAST TRUMP and where is this found?
In REVELATION, the LAST BOOK of the Bible there are 7 trumps and the 7th trump is the LAST ONE and is at the END end of the tribulation. there is not a 7th last trump prior to the tribulation.
@@SimplyProtestantBibleBelieverThanks for that, makes a lot of sense to me.
Thank for this (study) video!
Prophecy of Daniel was fulfilled. Rapture belief is in error.
I've never heard a preacher (Dispensational) say anything about the old covenant returning in the millennium. Never. I've been to many different churches as I've moved around quite a bit, but there's several other things that you said that I've never heard, or at least understood in quite a different way than you imply.
Example: the example you give of "one taken, and one left," most preachers and dispensationists I know believe that text to refer to the gathering of the sheep and goats as the millennium starts in preparation for the judgement, not the rapture.
But I probably don't know what I'm talking about. I merely consider myself a Christian, and not a Lutheran, even though I'm sitting in the home of friends who are. But I'm working on them. Gonna be tough. They're also German. Great video, but you might consider speaking just a little slower.
🙏✝️👑✝️🙏
Edit: And of course, the Catholic Church says that we are all wrong. Also, if God isn't going to turn back to Israel (after the rapture) then whom will inherit the unfulfilled prophecies to Israel? God is pretty strict about fulfilling His promises.
Of course, much of eschatology and the entirety of the end times are supposed to be somewhat mysterious, so perhaps every camp has a bit of it, but no one has all of it. Yet. 🙏✝️🙏
Edit: How do you know that they're NOT helicopters? Literal when possible, certainly, but sometimes, you have to use a bit of imagination to consider what the understanding of someone in the first century could comprehend.
Good comment. Thank you. p.s. I speculate that the locusts could be DRONES.
If the Temple is to be rebuilt, sacrifice is to be restarted, a return to Mosaic Law and Covenant can absolutely be inferred. It would not have to be stated outright and indeed probably wouldn’t because that would raise a whole BUNCH of problems in Christian congregations.
Also-the land promises were fulfilled. They were eternal, everlasting, and irrevocable AND conditional. Israel had to keep their end of the covenant(s) or be rejected. That is exactly what ultimately happened when Israel rejected their Messiah-the land (the temple and the order of the Mosaic Law) was utterly destroyed.
You should probably study the difference between exegesis and eisegesis.
Thank you for this comment, I was raised and educated in dispensational theology, and I have found things that I don’t agree with, and I’m specifically trying to research dispensational interpretation of Daniel 9 and how that shapes eschatology. This video had some interesting things, but there were many things in here that I had never ever heard in church, such as Jesus’s sermon on the Mt did not apply to us or that the cross was Plan B, or that the jewish leaders were supposed to make Jesus king and they failed in their mission, or that Calvary is secondary to his return. I NEVER heard anything like that, and I’ve been through a dispensational based Bible college program. There were many others, but I didn’t make a list.
My view on end times has changed from being it has to be exactly this, this, this and this, to be more like a puzzle, where we don’t have all the pieces yet. God did not reveal his playbook on Jesus first coming, so why do we expect him to reveal that exactly on the second coming? That’s what got the Jews in trouble the first time because his first coming did not match what they expected based on their understanding of the scripture. Afraid many would be in the same boat today because we’re looking for a specific events and not the hand of God in motion.
What an utterly wild diagram.
Believing or Not believing in a Rapture has nothing to do with whether one is an Xian.

*_Manuel De Lacunza, S.J. (July 19, 1731 - c. June 18, 1801) was a Jesuit priest who used the pseudonym Juan Josafat Ben-Ezra in his main work on the interpretation of the prophecies of the Bible, which was entitled The Coming of the Messiah in Majesty and Glory. This is where Darby got many of his ideas._*
*_Edward Irving is the one who translated his writings into English, he also believed in a pre-trib rapture around the same time as Darby. He was another heretic who started the catholic apostolic church where the ecstatic tongue speaking came from, way before the Pentecostal movement._*
Thank you for your research.
God Bless
Can you cite where Edward Irving said the church would be raptured before a 7-year tribulation? I don't think it exists because I don't think he believed that.
And so you are implying that Darby got some of his ideas from a Jesuit Priest means that his interpretations are wrong. Suppose error based upon one's sources is an illogical and flawed argument in determining the right or wrong of an idea. I would suggest you see how he interpreted Scripture and determine if the interpretation is sound not the association of ideas.
@davidcooper1201 , yeah that's called the Genetic Fallacy
@@davidcooper1201it’s also actually factually wrong. If you look up what that Jesuit priest actually wrote we aren’t even close to having the same understanding. It’s just historicist propaganda and stale copypasta.

what did Lord Jesus said to the Pharisees?
Mat 23:24 " You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel."
in fact the whole Matthew 23 talks about Hypocricy and this is exactly what it is...
one thing is clear. God made promisses and gave every opportunity to Izraelites to be his people. yet they stoned prophets and killed those God sent to teach / lead his people... even after they rejected Krist they still refused...
but the majority of this debate goes about present days Izrael... so ask yourself this question? do jews in present days state izrael follow Moses???
as far as I am concerned NO. So they are rejected as everybody else who doesn´t have neither the Son nor the Father...
Correct me please use convincing arguments...
Thanx
As far as your concerned says it all.
I am not dispensational, I don't believe in the pre-trib rapture.
If someone asked me what the Bible was about in one word, I would say redemption.
I have a question: Are any promises made to Israel that have not been fulfilled?
Nope 😊 Jesus fulfilled it all

This was written to the Church in Philadelphia before 70 AD. The GREAT TRIBULATION was coming soon, they would see it happen to their main prosecutors the Jews.
9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie-behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. 11 I am coming soon.
He said I AM COMING SOON. That church does not exist today. Jesus did come in judgement on the synagogue of Satan when He used the Romans to destroy the city of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD. He ended once and for all the old covenant.
I always took the "all Israel will be saved" as in the end times all Jews will embrace Jesus Christ. And for me this isn't good proof of dispensationalism, it's just a prophecy that says one day the Jews who are alive will voluntarily adopt the faith.
This video has some bizaaaaaare strawman descriptions of what dispensationalists believe. Like at 1900 he says Ds actually insult the gospel by believing that Christ will reign on the earth and bring back full temple sacrifice rather than relying on the sacrifice of Christ. Maybe there are some dispensationalist who think that but I hav enever ever once seen a video or been to a church service or read a book that said this.
That is the official theology of its creator John Nelson Darby
@@couriersix7326 awesome. Again, I have lived among evangelical Christians for 38 years, watched videos, and read books about the end times. I have never all that time ever heard someone say that Christ would reinstitute temple sacrifice. Meaning....that interpretation has fallen so out of favor that most people have never even heard of it.
@@briangreen5424you need to learn your heritage.
Maybe you have not heard that but I have. I was saved in a Plymouth Brethren church and yes they do believe in two people of God, national - racial Israel and the Church. After the Church gets raptured before the great tribulation the Jews will have a new temple in Jerusalem that the anti-christ will defile. At the end of the 7 year tribulation Christ will come back to reign on earth for 1000 yrs. in Jerusalem and the Jews will make animal sacrifices in the new temple. That is what Dispensationalists believe. If you don't believe that you are not a Dispensationalist. They say that the temple sacrifices are a memorial like communion. Yes it does not make sense to me either that's why I don't believe it anymore.
Also 2nd Peter 3:10 states that when Christ comes as a "thief" (pre trib language), everything is redeemed or destroyed.

Old dispensationalist here. Take my challenge. Take the book of Isaiah in one hand and Calvins commentary on Isaiah in the other. Read through bothe carefully and eatch how he gives the blessings for israel to the church and the curses for Israel to the Jews. If you are ok with this type of theological and mental gymnastics then be my guest.
@@johananswedlund7149 Why would we Lutherans care what Calvin says?
I don't have to read Calvin I see it in the Bible. Many places but Matthew 23 is a good one. Israel got the promised curses because they rejected their Messiah. The modern nation of Israel is not Biblical Israel. God's people are not any nationality God's people are the Church those who are in Christ.
You’re correct, the fact is this video is just stale recycled anti-dispensational propaganda. It’s incredibly lame. At the end of the day Lutherans are only reformed on the issue of soteriology and even then… barely. They’re Roman Catholic piss poor hermeneutic on every thing else. They couldn’t exegete scripture if they had to, they simply don’t have a hermeneutic that allows for it. Dispensationalism simply is the correct interpretation based on a literal grammatical historical hermeneutic. Literal unless the context absolutely precludes it. It’s really not that hard, allegory is imaginary.
Not gonna read Calvin.
Chafer’s 8 volume Systematic Theology is a biblically sound theological treatise. Highly recommended. 👍✝️
Post Trib rapture is based on scripture. PreTrib rapture is based on conjecture, speculation and misinterpretation of Scripture.
Rapture is posttrib and It’s not really debatable. Here are some irrefutable truths.
1. The rapture is AFTER the resurrection.
1 Thessalonians 4. Dead in Christ shall rise first.
2. Jesus said the resurrection is on ‘THE LAST DAY’ over and over and over in John 6. That is the last day of the age of grace. The last day of life without Christ. The last day of the church age. The last day of the New Covenant. The next day starts the millennial kingdom. If the resurrection is ON THE LAST DAY obviously then this means that the rapture is on the last day since the RAPTURE IS AFTER THE RESURRECTION.
The rapture is on the last day.
3. The resurrection / rapture is in Rev 20:4. Here we find ‘the last day’. John says he saw the dead come to life. This is the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the rapture is right after it. The rapture is post trib. It is AFTER Rev 5-19. The church goes THROUGH the tribulation. We will not experience Gods wrath just like Israel did not experience Gods wrath when God punished Egypt. And Noah didn’t experience Gods wrath when He flooded the whole earth, but Noah was preserved THROUGH the flood. Not raptured out of it. Israel was not raptured out of Egypt. God will test the church. He will have a pure spotless bride for His Son.
Any other position other than a posttrib rapture twists and distorts Gods Word.
And then there’s Jesus’ message in
Matthew 24:29-31
“But immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days……..And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, ………….And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
------
Jesus Himself says that He is coming back for His church and will gather it immediately AFTER the tribulation.
How can it get ANY CLEARER????
Stop with this false doctrine of a PreTrib rapture. The doctrine of escapism has to be exposed and refuted by the word of God. Too many people planning their escape instead of filling their lamp with oil.
Having said this, in Rev 3:10 God promises to keep those who have proven their faithfulness from the hour of testing. Knowing that be so faithful that God keeps you from the tribulation. Remember this promise of Christ is to only ONE of the seven churches in Revelation. One. There are letters to SIX other churches.
And remember this verse.
Revelation 13:7
It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.
--
God will give Antichrist power to persecute and kill His saints. Sounds crazy but that’s His plan. Don’t let people tickle your ears with anything that’s not the truth.
2 Timothy 2:15
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
Read your Bible. Test your teachers. Reject false teachers. Endure to the end and you will be saved. That’s a promise from God.
Are you & I JUSTIFIED by only faith or is there more to it ?
No error in dispensationalism in general when righly understood from biblical expisition. The reformers were in error they didnt go far enough in reforming eschatolagy which catholicism and its close off shoots had escatolgy wrong
What? When dispensationalism is rightly understood??? Yeah I understand it very well, I was saved in a Plymouth Brethren church. I understand it backwards and forwards every jot and tidal. It does not conform to the Bible. It destroys the consistency of the salvation story making a distinction of the Church and Israel. The Church IS the new Israel. We are all one in Christ no wall between Jew and Gentile. There can be no more place for a particular nation of God. GOD FULFILLED ALL HIS PROMISES TO ISRAEL.
So this is why so many evangelicals love Israel. I had always wondered that.
Jesus was a Jew. That's enough isn't it?
it was great (after watching) it went pretty fast, felt like 10 min
I remember a time when I could use logic as well as you. Thank God for you. Really good wake up morning get the brain going stuff. Christ could have made this boring in a book three feet thick. Love amoung Christians will show the reason (maybe) why God wrote the Word this way.
a lutheran cannot be a pre-millennialist?
"They condemn also others who are now spreading certain Jewish opinions, that before the resurrection of the dead the godly shall take possession of the kingdom of the world, the ungodly being everywhere suppressed." AC XVII.5
This was referring to pre-mill radicals at that time.
@@ScholasticLutherans so my presumption is that being pre-millennial today keeps you out of the Lutheran camp, then.
@@divinityofblackness6330I can't say for sure, but that is what it sounds like to me.
Luther as far as i know didn't comment on the prophets. Calvin did but the inconsistency in hiis commentary is comical. Maybe Luther saw this and decided to leave it alone either way the point is that whether you accept the challenge of trying to spiritualize the prophecies concerning Israel as Calvin did or whether you choose to ignore it , as luther did, the end result is similar. You wind up missing the point. The prophets saw the future and neither calvin Luther the pope or modern replacement teachers can change that.
I was saved in a Plymouth Brethren church they do believe in two people of God, national - racial Israel and the Church. After the Church gets raptured before the great tribulation the Jews will have a new temple in Jerusalem that the anti-christ will defile. At the end of the 7 year tribulation Christ will come back to reign on earth for 1000 yrs. in Jerusalem and the Jews will make animal sacrifices in the new temple. That is what Dispensationalists believe. If you don't believe that you are not a Dispensationalist. They say that the temple sacrifices are a memorial like communion. Yes it does not make sense to me either that's why I don't believe it anymore.

The errors in representing dispensationalism are replete in this critique. One example is the mischaracterization of the sacrifices presented at the Temple in Ezekiel after the return of Christ. They are not to atone for sin, as the presenter so glibly implies, but rather a memorial, similar to the Lord’s supper, which is a remembrance of Christ’s death. I would also like to point out that smugness is not a fruit of the Spirit.
You are attributing smugness to the presenter as if you can know his attitude and intent.
I could attribute arrogance and impatience to you as failures in manifesting the fruit of the spirit.
@@debblouin when someone misrepresents a viewpoint they disagree with and then chuckle, clearly communicating that they think the erroneous view is ridiculous, I would attribute that to discernment, not arrogance. What would be arrogant, on my part, would be to assume that the misrepresentation is intentional. But I don’t know 100% is this is intentional or not, I’m currently at about 95%. These guys seem to be smart, but how they could get dispensationalism so wrong is puzzling.
Read Ezk 43:22. The sacrifice of the male goat is for a sin offering.
Dispensational hermenutic states if it's literal in the old it's lit. In the new. Every sacrifice in Ezek is to atone for sin. Read the text. It never states its a memorial. Jesus is the better sacrifice, the better temple, the better covenant. He fulfils the O.T. promises given to Israel. He is the head of the one new man, the church.
So you believe that if the modern people called Jews in Israel build a temple to sacrifice animals to God, that God would be pleased with that? Have you not read the book of Hebrews? Can't you see that any form of blood sacrifice for sin would now be an abomination?? The blood sacrifice of animals was a symbol of Christ's blood, why would we need another symbol after the real thing?? I would also like to point out that ignorance is also not a fruit of the Spirit.
If lets say that dispensationalists are wrong
who said that you are correct???????
You are so wrong
Go and read the bible more
and dont be focused on your words
I am pretty much convinced of the fulfilled eschatology perspective-preterism.
All of the land promises were fulfilled and Israel failed the terms up to and including Messiah.
The millennial perspective is taken as a literal 1000 years when everywhere else the 1000 year metaphor was taken as such.
Same here. Be careful! You'll be labelled as a heretic for taking imminent time statements for what they really are!
Yes and every time terms like "this generation" , "the time is at hand", "this is the last days" , "I'm coming soon", "the time is near". For a dispensationalist who say they interoperate the Bible literately these mean something else.
Acts 7:38 the church in the wilderness is Israel
Here is the verse you said that "the church in the wilderness is Israel". Steven is making the case for Jesus being the Messiah and at the end of his speech they stoned him. What's your point?
38 This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. He received living oracles to give to us.
Troll
The issue is that a PRETRIB rapture is not biblical, not that it doesn’t happen.
Mat 24.29-31 is a good overview with details spread out in various books incl Isaiah.
It’s basically Christ mustering His glorious army in the sky to take the land like Joshua (Yeshua/Jesus) in the book of Joshua to set up the kingdom on earth for 1000 years conquering all enemies before the Father comes and a new heaven and earth is made.
Btw not everything in dispensationalism is wrong - it’s much more subtle than that, but many want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
I support Israel and am quite the Zionist but I am NOT a Zionist due to religion or dispensationalism. The Jews are a plucky people whom I admire and support. I also admire and support other people groups like the Karen and Igbo nations.
Yes I support them too because they give their citizens more freedom than any other mid eastern country, I do not believe that they have anything to do with the Israel of the Bible. God ended that covenant with Jesus's death on the cross and sealed it with His coming of wrath on Jerusalem in 70 AD.
its not 10 nation federation. its a 10 nation confederation! get it right man!
the idea that the "church age".. is seen as a parenthetical interlude... since the Jews by and Large rejected Christ... and thus God had to put plan "B".. into place is just.. insane..
where do these people like this guy come up with this...?
God's plan.. was for Christ to come again.. all along..
Jesus Never said.. that He was going.. to take any with Him into heaven at the first coming..
Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost...and to proclaim the Gospel of God.. more clearly.. and bring enlightenment and hope to the Jewish nation..
many Jews refused to accept Jesus as a Savior... but that did not mean that God's plan was Not to save the gentiles before that happened//
If anything ... scripture shows us how the salvation and rapture of gentiles in this world... will actually lead the Jews unto salvation..
at this time there is "the national Jewish nation"... and "the chosen Jewish nation"..... the "nationals... are the ones holding on to the belief that Jesus was NOT the Messiah.. come in the flesh...//// "the chosen".. are the ones who in this day DO believe Jesus was the Messiah come in the flesh... when the Rapture comes.. many of those "nationals".. will become the chosen".. of God once again...due to the rapture of the church..
and this "church".. will include.. Jewish Christ believers.. as well as gentile Christ believers..
any believe in Christ will be part of the raptured church.. Jews and Gentiles alike...
Here is what the end time will be. No mention of Israel here. 1Corinthians 15: 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For “God[ has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.
So clearly it says that Jesus will not return to raise the dead or rapture anyone until ALL HIS ENEMIES ARE UNDER HIS FEET. That shows that the ONLY ESCHATOLOGY THAT FITS IS POSTMILLENNIALISM like the parables of the mustard seed and the yeast in the dough and many O.T. prophecies.

Jesus will NOT actually return... this is NOT technically "the second coming"...
basically what the Rapture.. is.. is like an "alarm".. those who have been saved and STILL alive at this time.. will ascend to Jesus and meet Him in the air... along with those who died.. trusting in Jesus..
the dead in Christ will rise first...
what many even our ex- pastor had trouble understanding.. is that Jesus is Not "returning"... to the earth at this point..
He is only calling His sheep unto Him....
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
here is why God is drawing Israel in such a manner
Romans 11:25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
WHEN IS THE FULNESS OF THE GENTILES?..
when Jesus comes and pulls them out of this world at the rapture...!
then Israel will take notice.. and many non believing Jews at that time will begin trusting in Jesus..
God by the Rapture.. is using this to give Israel a chance to acknowledge Jesus as their savior... as the Gentiles did..
lets read Hosea 5:15
"I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their------
(the non saved Jewish nation)
affliction they will seek me early."
then finally Luke 19:42
"I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early."
the Rapture MUST come before the tribulation in order to give the Jewish nation a chance to accept Jesus as their Savior...
The 7 year tribulation is an outrageous lie. Daniel 9 was fulfilled by Jesus Christ affirming the New Covenant both before and after His crucifixion. This was proved empirically by James Ussher in his work Annals.
See Matthew 24
Crazy made up stuff. I believe the Bible. I understand there are different types of literary styles in the Bible and try to be sure i understand which one is being used in the passage i am reading. I am learning Greek and Hebrew so i can read the text in its original langues and have several interpretations of the Bible to compare and contrast. I know hermeneutics and understand context. Doing these things along with prayer and i think i am good.
Historic premillennial here. Eternally baffled why everyone doesn’t just accept it as the most sensible scriptural hermeneutic/eschatology
Because it's wrong.
And there is no Scriptural basis for it unless one inserts preconceived notions into the dispensationalist passages. Dispensationalisim is the GOAT at taking individual lines of Scripture out of context and pasting them together to mean something entirely different.
@@tedbastwock3810 That's why I'm not dispensationalist. I'm historic premillennial. Dispensationalism is scripturally indefensible in my opinion.
Because we read our Bibles? What does this say about how we should understand the book of Revelation:
1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.
The key to understand is - MUST SOON TAKE PLACE and FOR THE TIME IS NEAR. If you understand those two phrases and look to first century history and understand a bit of O.T. prophetic language it is easy to see that THE GREAT TRIBULATION has already taken place.

Notification gang 😎
If you don't understand dispensationalism, then you don't understand the mysteries revealed to Paul. You probably believe in doctrines of men. If you can't rightly divide scripture, then you probably don't know if you are saved or not. I'll pray for you all.
rightly divide scripture .. is not found anywhere in Scripture
@@tedbastwock3810 It's because you have a bad Perversion of scripture. That's why you can't comprehend. Satan uses the word of God also, and perverts it. Try a KJV, it's not perfect, but it's 99% better than the modern perversions.
What? When dispensationalism is rightly understood??? Yeah I understand it very well, I was saved in a Plymouth Brethren church. I understand it backwards and forwards every jot and tidal. It does not conform to the Bible. It destroys the consistency of the salvation story making a distinction of the Church and Israel. The Church IS the new Israel. We are all one in Christ no wall between Jew and Gentile. There can be no more place for a particular nation of God. GOD FULFILLED ALL HIS PROMISES TO ISRAEL.

Good video ! But not all Lutherans believe in Amillennialism , some of us believe in Historic Premillennialism .
How is this compatible with the CA?
Are you Church of the Lutheran Brethren?
1st Corinthians 15:51 ! One of seven mysteries in Apostle Paul’s writings describing the pre trib rapture. Don’t give me the Darby garbage. If you are not studying out of a flawless King James Bible you’ll never get it because ALL modern so-called bibles are grossly corrupted. Repent of refusing to study the way God says to or lose eternal reward.
Its because they see The return of JESUS CHRIST as man AND NOT LIKE GOD JOHN 10 V 30 )says I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.(REVELATION 1) THE I AM WHO IS WHO WAS AND WERE TO COME,they are still fleshly people and dont at all understand that GODS KINGDOM IS SPIRITUAL.Their believe is riducilous.
Can't hear you when you yell. Tone it down and use proper lower case letters and then we'll read your rant, little mister
Dispensationalism is true
No it is not. There is an Old Testament/Covenant and a New Testament/Covenant. The new replaced the old there is one body of Christ, one people, one kingdom every promise given to Israel is fulfilled totally in Christ, PERIOD!
@DebbieBinder-xr8md you missed the mysteries revealed by Paul and replaced complicated nuanced doctrine with black and white thinking in stubborn conceit. Israel has experienced a hardening in part UNTIL the fullness of the Gentiles has come in AND THEN, ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED. the deliverer will come from zion and turn goddesses away from Jacob(israel)
@DebbieBinder-xr8md the covenants are theirs(national Israel's) paul says. "The gift and calling of God are irrevocable paul says God's covenant and promised with them cannot be taken back, lost or reversed. SATAN THE ACCUSER IS ON NOTICE!! GODS WORD WILL NOT RETURN VOID.
No sense in arguing with these fools, they’re reformed Roman Catholic. They don’t have a legitimate hermeneutic that allows them to exegete scripture accurately. They will be stuck in the dark until Christ returns for the church and then they will be ashamed. “Oh you really meant a literal kingdom?” “Ya I only said it over and over again”. They’re foolish men holding onto the tradition of men.
@@TedMyrrh Israel is the Church, it’s Christian’s who are Israel by faith. You have to ignore an enormous amount of the Bible to come to this dispensational conclusion, (maybe you read the Schofield Bible?). What’s crazy is the ENTIRE Church for THOUSANDS of years were not even remotely Dispensational, they absolutely rejected any insinuation in that direction as heresy. Your current dispensational views are a modern innovation that doesn’t exist until late 19th century, largely popularized by the Schofield Bible.
Also biblical Israel absolutely is NOT the current secular modern anti-Christ nation state created a few decades ago who currently call themselves “Israel”… remember “those who say they are Jews but are not, they are the Synagogue of Satan” the Old Testament Hebrews are NOT the various racial/ethic groups who call themselves Jews/israel today. That’s a fact. Their faith is not the Old Testament faith either.. The Ancient Hebrews no longer exist, Gods covenant is with Christians through Christ. Only way to the father is through the son. You CANNOT be Saved without Christ. If you don’t believe that you’re by definition not a Christian. There is no Covenant with God without our Lord Jesus.
Baptismal Regeneration?
Nah
Perterism all the way ❤ it’s all finished. Jesus ❤
Preterism is most certainly heresy. You probably need to know what preterism is before espousing it friend
@@ScribeAliciousI think you should read the Bible for what it says….Jesus coming in “the glory of the father” was never about a physical coming or a physical resurrection…..it was “coming to life” as in the life giving reconciliation BACK to the God as in the garden of Eden…..sorry you feel that way, but God bless you
You should look into apocalyptic literature written in biblical times and see how they wrote, it is different than what we know today….also, Jesus did not agree with the Sadducees on their belief in no resurrection, and he also did not teach the physical resurrection the Pharisees taught….he refuted that while talking to Martha about Lazarus “rising on the last day”…..Jesus was the resurrection aka reconciliation back to the life giving spirit of the Father, the one true God….you may feel free to comment further but I suggest you also see what other “traditions of man” have been brought into the “church circle”….i will not have a back and forth on it, I have said what I have felt led to say…..it’s wonderful you have Jesus though ❤
All Christians do believe in the rapture. The rapture has to do with what happens to living Saints at the return of Christ. The point of disagreement among all traditions is the timing of that event not the event itself.
FALSE! I am a born-again Christian and I definitely do not believe in the rapture.
Good point.
I think most are wrong in thinking that the Rapture will be a physical rising up off the earth.
My conviction is that it is a spiritual inner event corresponding to the maximum filling and sealing of the saints by the Holy Spirit.
I believe in the Second coming of Christ where we will be gathered into the air.
To return to the earth ...
@@toolegittoquit_001 What would be the purpose of being gathered in the sky to then return to earth?
@@thenowchurch6419 It is how the biblical societies would go out to greet/welcome special guests. If they heard that the king was coming, the whole town would go out to meet him and walk with him back to their city/town. Two examples of this found in the Bible is: with the Triumphal Entry when the people went out to lay palm branches on the street leading Jesus into Jerusalem; and in Acts 28:13-16 when Paul was going up into Rome, people from a distance away came out to meet Paul and walk with him as he entered Rome. So on the Last Day when the King of kings returns to earth, those who have obeyed the King's commands will rise up to meet Him in the air as fire consumes the old earth of the sin/curse. Then as the new earth unfolds, we return with Him to live and reign with Him forever and ever. Come Lord Jesus!
Dispensationalism is belief in a christian form of science fiction (almost similar to the Star Wars saga), fantastic, but unlikely 😊
Excellent exposition! This makes me wonder if these people are even Christians. It sounds like a cult.
Many are Christians, I promise.
@@ScholasticLutherans Agree. But the result is nonetheless even more dangerous as the average cult.
😵💫The death knell of Dispensationalism is inter alia located in the 1917 Scofield "Bible" at Scofield's commentary on John 1:17, to wit:
"...As a dispensation, grace begins with the death and resurrection of Christ ... The point of testing is no longer legal obedience as the condition of salvation, but acceptance or rejection of Christ..."
but what does God say in Romans 4:8 "...for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness..." hence Abraham was saved by the grace of God through the faith of Jesus Christ [Romans 3:22 LXX] - for the Law was not only given to Moses AFTER Abraham's death [except if you take the 1st law as obedience to God, Gen 2:16&17] but alas there is no salvation but through Jesus Christ - Acts 4:12. And we all know Abe was a sinner; lying and scheming.
Preteristm has some merit as well
Standing on the shoulders of giants who did not know the scriptures who did not believe the scriptures and who killed Baptist yes your blessed Martin Luther murdered bible-believing Christians. You need to read the Bible not the supposed Giants to get your biblical interpretation. The Bible is a book you must read with the right spirit and you must have the Holy Spirit to be The Interpreter thereof. Go get a Bible put down all of these books that these Giants have written,and ask God to show you the truth and read and keep reading if your heart is right before God then God will show you the truth.
Romans 13:11-14 (KJV)
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
This is possibly the funniest comment we've received. Thanks for the laugh!
@@ScholasticLutherans you've been given the truth. The early Protestants were murderers of Bible believing Christians teachers of heretical Doctrine and Bible rejecters. Please read your Bible and stop listening to intellectual theologians you know nothing about scripture neither believe it.

It is a very dangerous situation to be in because you will be judged by God and he will use one thing for that judgment ,the book that you are currently laughing at.
