@@chava2uk150 revelation 3:10 does NOT say keep through. It says KEEP FROM. Tereo ek. EK (ek) Preposition Strong's 1537: From out, out from among, from, suggesting from the interior outwards. “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will KEEP THEE FROM the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” Revelation 3:10 You are literally going against Jesus own words. He said “keep out of the time of testing the whole world”. Not keep through it. Concerning john 17:15 Jesus is preparing to depart, and He's praying to the Father for His disciples as they're about to embark on a long and difficult journey without Him and He's praying to the Father, saying, "Please don't take them out of the world, but protect them" The phrase "please don't take them out of the world" makes perfect sense because, their real journey was about to start and He wanted them to complete the journey. Jesus did not want his disciples out of the word yet because they had to spread the gospel as the church age began. If they were taken out, There would be no one on earth to spread the gospel. So they couldn't possibly be taken out yet. This petition was to temporarily not take them out. How do i know? Just keep reading. in the next verses Jesus says: "'Father, I want those you have given me to be WITH ME where I AM , and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world." John 17:24. Here he's saying that he does want us to be where he is in so we see his glory. Where is Jesus now and where is his glory? In heaven. So, here we see that he himself said he wants us to be where he is in heaven to see his glory. and i’ll add that Jesus also mentioned in John 14:2-4 that he we to heaven to prepare a place for us at the Father’s house. And he will take us there someday . So eventually one day he will take his church out of the world to the Fathers house. In Revelation 2 and 3, the journey is about to conclude, and the Church is about to be rewarded for the journey. The context here is, "because you have kept the word of my patience, i will reward you this”. All the rewards being described in Revelation 2 and 3 are "end of journey" "end of the age" rewards. That's the context here. John 17:15 is completely taken out of context by post tribbers. It does not prove in any way shape or form that Jesus will not take his church out of the world. That is all made up by the post trib camp.
The voices I hear are you’ll never make it, you can’t get through a day let alone a lifetime…. It wears me down but I get back up because his mercies are new every morning
If I'm honest, some days are pure spite for the enemy. I, too, have been worn down. But, if he wants me dead, imma do the next right thing and lean even more into my Lord. If the enemy wants to harass me, imma sing praise and make him listen. God will enable us, one day at a time. He is so good and perfect and kind. And, in my weakness, He is strength. Let's abide in Him, day by day, and we will rejoice when His power is made known to all. I'm praying for your strengthening and encouragement today. He loves you so much. See you in Heaven, sister!
Mary rebuke those voices. It is satan. It's your responsibility to put them under your feet. Start now by rebuking them and telling them to shut up and to get under your feet. Start now.
Patience of the saints... War against the saints... Prayer and fasting ... Weapons against powers and principalities... Love of Christ compel us all, Amen!
Joel this has been a very dynamic and truthful teaching May the Lord keep giving you His Strength to courageously expose the frightening false teaching about escapism that does not prepare the Body of Christ for what is ahead
"And they overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." Revelation 12:11 I was raised in the pre-trib, pre-rath, rapture teaching. Then, God opened my eyes as He continues to wash me in the whole context and counsel of His Word. My spirit bares witness with His Spirit and Word as you are teaching. There is deep peace, the fear of the Lord, His Almighty power and His love for those who will believe in Christ. My heart cries out to know Him in Spirit and in truth, to prepare the way for our soon coming King and to be in fellowship with those who receive this teaching. He knew we would be in the earth during this time and has given us all we need in His victory to overcome. Praying about participating in the July Summit. Maranatha!!!
Beautiful teaching, thank you so much. I shall send to my ex pre trib Pastor. He has So many following his false teaching. How sad to see, he has young families and old people and all sorts...and he is leading them to slaughter 😥 Praise God that He gave me eyes to see and ears to hear. HalleluYAH 🙌
It’s crazy how people allow fear to keep them from hearing the truth. People get so mad at me when I tell them that God doesn’t show favoritism. They don’t like hearing that we are the tribulation saints. It’s so mind blowing that they rather believe a lie than the truth. Repenting is the only escape we have from the wrath of God.
May I please have some prayer? I’ve been smoking weed for a couple of years. I’d say I got fooled as I’m sure many have but I have been pressed by Holy Spirit for a while to quit and I’ve been ignoring him. I’m quitting and of course the withdrawals are terrible. And their bad in top of already having an exceptionally rough year. I have seen what’s happening across the world of this “Man dressed in White.” I know who it is. And now there’s revival happening hear and I want to take part in full authenticity for God. I realize now that I’ve hidden my true self from God I want out of this. Thank you everyone and Maranatha
Thank you for boldly and humbly sharing and asking for prayer. I too used to live and breathe smoking weed. The Lord took the desire out of my heart and replaced it with His presence. You will need to break all paraphernalia and everything that binds you to it. Friends, music, anything. He will reward your obedience and protect you. Confess all to Him and allow Him the rightful place on the throne of your heart. I will be praying for you. God bless you and please if you need someone to talk to I am here as a fellow servant of the Most High. If you don't mind I would like to share your testimony with a fellow ship I am a part of and ask them to pray as well? 🙏
I pray for you and all those who are also seeking to overcome an addiction or dependency: May you receive much grace to deal with any changes you may need to make in your lifestyle. May He wring every possible bit of good out of all that you're suffering to purify and refine you so that your pains and efforts aren't wasted. May He get you through the rough patches quickly and may you come to know and remember His faithfulness. May your witness once you've overcome this be a help and encouragement to others.
Watch some Hell dreams videos, or NDE hell experience videos on this platform.. Watching those got us to quit after 45 years. "be of sober mind"... I don't want to end up in hell. The Holy spirit will deliver you if you sincerely ask him to come in and help you.
@@AndyWhiteOpenUpTheDoors So true, Andy. Many, when faced w the reality of tribulation, will be among those "turning-away". And the consequences of that fatal act will be eternally devastating. Corrie Ten Boom had it right: we need to prepare the expect-to-be-saints to endure persecution even "unto death".
@@timjames9567 funny you should mention Corrie Ten Boom! I explicitly made that same reference in a broadcast I did several months back. ua-cam.com/video/UITYWvTfKNA/v-deo.html
Pastors don't even like to talk about Christ flipping tables and driving out the money changers with a whip. So I appreciate a sound teaching on His indignation with the unritious. It's convicting and encouraging at the same time.
AMEN ON THE SCRIPTURAL TEACHING OF A POST TRIB RAPTURE & CONDITIONAL SALVATION. MOST IN THE BODY HAVE IT WRONG BECAUSE SIN & SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS FROM THE DEVIL HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES
Having studied eschatology for over 40 years, God knows my heart is to know and believe truth. While I appreciate much of your teachings, I’m most definitely of the belief that Jesus will bring His bride, the church, to Heaven to be with Him while God pours out His wrath on this world. To say that pre-tribbers believe the church will not ever face tribulations is false. The church has faced constant tribulations since Jesus was taken up to Heaven. I think when Jesus says that the end time will be as the days of Noah and the days of Lot, He is teaching that as Noah was protected from Gods wrath on this earth, and as Lot was protected from Gods wrath, so will the bride of Christ, be protected. Jesus took Gods wrath on the cross..As believers in Christ, we do not have to face Gods wrath. During the 7 years of tribulation, there will be those that come to Christ and most likely will be put to death. There would be no need of 144,000 witnesses, 2 witnesses in Jerusalem, and the angel that flies over the earth proclaiming the Gospel if no one believes during the tribulation. So I listened to several of your teachings to hear both sides. In my spirit I’m still firm on my understanding. Should I see the Anti Christ make a 7 year peace treaty with Israel, I’ll reconsider. Peace to you.
This is "solid food" that we're so much in need. Thank you very much Joel and FAI Team, you're a blessing !!! All series of FAI studies are biblical based and down to earth teachings that has been opening my spiritual understanding of who our Messiah and Lord Jesus really is !!! It's so profound, incredible and most important to our lives, I can't even put it in words how it affects me. May He keep protecting and blessing all of you guys every new morning 🙌🏻 thanks a lot !!! After these last years listening and watching your great work, I feel like I've known you personally for a long time 🤭 it may sound strange but it's real. 🌼 And I'm so thankful that God has approached me to courageous and bold sisters and brothers who are up to teach us the whole biblical truth !!! Amen and amen, maranatha!!! 🙌🏻
I used to believe in the "whoosh" we're gone philosophy of pre-trib rapture, but after I studied the scriptures and considered FAI teachings I have come to the conclusion that, scripturally speaking, the teachings of Joel are the correct interpretation of the second coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Amen Joel..I loved this session..very challenging,thought provoking and encouraging. I always learn so much from you.. teachings I've never heard in all my years as a believer..for such a time as this. Maranatha ❤️
As always, thank you for teaching what the scriptures actually say. The fullness of the scriptures is paramount to a true understanding as well as to honing one's faith. It is always great to hear someone speak of their understanding and to hear my own understanding in those words.
That's so true! If we cannot be on the earth while the wrath of God is bring revealed upon the earth, then what do we do with Romans 1? The fact is that currently the wrath of God IS being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of man, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. This is the "simmering" wrath of God - the wrath that is seen within individuals and within certain cultures. However, there is the "boiling over" wrath of God that is coming.
Romans 1 " The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness." Revelation 3:10 New International Version 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. Romans was being revealed. Revelation is going to come on the whole world. different.
Thank you for this video, and for your emphasis on enduring till the end. I was just reading a few days ago in Revelation 2 and the common phrase Jesus gives to John to write down for all the seven churches is: "The one who conquers...".
@@Over-for-now Only a Christian can fall away. If a non believer rejects HIS FINISHED work for salvation, then they aren't saved. Christians can fall away from the very faith they've placed in Christ, in His finished work.
@kenklein9228 Ken, you can have your insecure salvation. If you are correct, then sadly EVERY Christian is LOST. We cannot depend on ourselves to stay saved. We ARE weak and still have THAT adamic nature THAT God declares " sins continually". Our flesh NEVER improves. It's the divine nature THAT we are given as a gift, THAT NEVER sins. The divine nature THAT we are given at salvation makes the believer COMPLETE in HIM. He makes the believer COMPLETE and perfect by HIS FINISHED work
@@Over-for-now These scripture tell us that we can, indeed, fall away:: Heb. 3:12; Matthew 13:20-21; 2 Thess 2:3; Matthew 24:10. Yes, we still have our sin nature we inherited from Adam. God's goal for us is to get us cleaned up so that we DON'T fall away. The way He does that is through His discipline, in which we deal with our carnal nature - Paul talks about this ALOT, as do Peter and James. The vast majority of us stumble along in our Christian walk, always in a state of risk of choosing to fall away. The way to eternal security is to cooperate with the Lord in His process, His discipline, to "crucify the passions and desires of the flesh".
Amen my brothers and sisters I'm a studyre of birds you guys in Israel at least 280 different species meat eating birds just came out of nowhere for the great feast
God poured His wrath on Egypt and He spared Israelis. They didn't have to leave. God knows who is who... I think some people are so afraid of the tribulation and don't trust God to see them thru...and that's even a greater sin!... All the saints dying during the great tribulation are those who are willingly giving their lives for the testimony of Jesus, being slaughtered by the AC and going as matyrs for Jesus. They are welcomed with white robes, guys! These saints are very special in heaven. In the millennial kingdom these saints will be celebrities.. 👏👏 There are no saints dying from the plagues. The bible clearly states those killed by plagues refuse to repent and more wrath comes. So God is protecting saints from the wrath but allowing matyrdom...God is highly glorified when we die as matyrs..
It is interesting that when I hear Christians or pastors say, "We are not appointed to wrath" but at the same time these same people completely ignore the tremendous violent persecution that Jesus warned his followers about before his return in Mathew 24. It is as if most American evangelical pastors have pre conditioned American Christians to believe that they will not have to suffer any kind of trouble or tribulation! Could these same pastors go over to places like Nigeria, India or the Middle East and tell those Christians that ? Maybe my brothers and sisters in those regions of the world didn't get that memo ?
Thank you for your commitment to this teaching. I am finding this very helpful in my understanding of eschatology. It would be very helpful if you would display a timeline of events as you describe in this series. Thank you again!
We have a lot of nambi pambi Christians yesterday and today that cry loud to the Lord when suffering from the worlds persecution rather than thanking the Lord that they are found worthy. For those Foxes Book of Martyrs would be a good read.
Ray Hannum. Great response. Yes so many nanny pambi christians- I keep trying different churches but even their pastors and elders do not believe in evangelism AT ALL. Including RC Sproul! Most are pre trib and will not even discuss or debate the pre vs post trib debate. They even persecute those who evangelize and those who are post trib. I sought Christian counseling and was told that almost all churches are watered down versions of what the Scriptures say. This is because of the infiltration of the commies in the 1940-50’s.

Romans put the spikes in Yeshua's hands... (John 19:23) Romans put the spikes in Yeshua's feet... (John 19:23) Romans erected the cross that Yeshua was put upon... (John 19:23) It was a Roman Soldier who thrust a spear into Yeshua's side... It was a Jewish Pharisee who have his tomb for Yeshua to be placed into... Mystery Babylon wears purple and scarlet... She has been drunk off the blood of the martyrs... She sits on seven hills... These same Romans started "the church"... Her Bishops and Cardinals wear purple and scarlet... She has tortured and murdered MILLIONS of the Martyrs... Rome sits on seven hills... You may want to re-state your comment about Israel... Once you accept Yeshua as Messiah you are "Grafted IN" to Israel. (Romans 11) And you are no longer a foreigner, of the nations or a gentile, but a citizen of Israel. (Ephesians 2:19 and 1 Corinthians 12:2) There is NO SUCH THING as a Jewish or Gentile "Christian". (Galatians 3:28) People who CLAIM to follow Yeshua the Messiah thinking they are still a gentile is one of the things that have caused so much confusion and so many false teachings in "the church"... If they are still a gentile, then they have NO PLACE in any of the Covenants or the Blessings of Israel. (Jeremiah 31:31-34) BUT... If they INSIST as being counted as a "Gentile", then they will be counted as "the Nations" who come up to the Kingdom, not part of the Kingdom... (Micah 4:2, Zechariah 14:17) There are NO "Gentile" gates or a "Church" gate in the Kingdom... (Revelation 21:12) WRATH is going to fall on idolaters...(1 Corinthians 6:9) ChistMass or Easter anyone?
Yep, it's bad enough they extrapolate wild meanings into scripture to support their doctrine which flies in the face of plainly stated scripture, BUT they can't even tell the difference between wrath and tribulation! They're so used to twisting scriptures' meanings that now they redefine words as well.
Joel, great point about the saints participation in the graphic events. Revelation 19:17-18 NKJV Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, "Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, [18] that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great."
“Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.” (Rom. 5:9) “And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead - Jesus - who rescues us from the wrath to come.” (1 Thes. 1:10) “Let us be self-controlled putting on faith and love and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thes. 5:9) In all three passages, Paul is not talking about the wrath that God will pour out during the day of the Lord, rather he is contrasting the eternal wrath of hell to eternal salvation, not tribulation or day of the Lord wrath.
What about Luke 21:34-36? There is an escape described here on the Day of the Lord. 2nd Thessalonians 1:6-10 also says there's a rest for believers on the Day Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels to take vengeance. This rest is also declared in Revelation 14:12-14 just before the Son of Man appears on the cloud, identical to Matthew 24:30. What is the Day of the Lord? It's not Revelation 19. It's Revelation 6:12-17. The signs here are an exact match to Joel 2:31-32. There's a deliverance on this day for all who call upon the name of the Lord. Isaiah 34:4-8 also identifies the Day of Vengeance as matching the signs given in Revelation 6:12-14 Also Isaiah 13:6-13 Psalm 7:6-7 says the Lord is angry and He comes and the congregation will surround Him (1st Thessalonians 4:13-17) and then He returns to on high for their sake. Sounds like Matthew 25. They go and shut their doors behind them and hide until the indignation is past. Isaiah 26:19-21 Job 14:10-17
I believe that as soon as the AC does his thing in the temple, we'll be raptured. Based on 2Thessalonians and a powerful dream vision prophecy that I had about the tribulation
@@timothyhowie6171 Mentioning the scripture isn't sufficient to show whether you're interpreting it through your dream or vice-versa. There is no scriptural support for the idea that the Rapture will occur "as soon as the AC does his thing in the temple". What Matthew 24:15-16 and Mark 13:14 tell us is that's the signal for disciples to flee and seek refuge in the mountains. Christ's return is still some time off at that point.
Isaiah 63:3 I have trodden the winepress ALONE; and of the people there was NONE WITH ME: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. This is probably an oversimplification, but I would appreciate hearing your teaching on how believers are going to join in this trampling.
Malachi 4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ASHES under the soles of your feet in the day that I SHALL DO THIS, saith the LORD of hosts. Ok, I understand, we shall tread on their ashes, AFTER the Lord Jesus tramples them. (Zechariah 14:12)
Correct. And Dispensors love to insist that the GT is God's wrath - that's not true. God's wrath consists of the bowls only, and we have a ticket out before they're poured.
Seventy weeks are determined upon *thy people and upon thy holy city* ...to finish the transgression, and (Jn 1:29; 1 Jn 3:5; Is 53:12) ...to make an end of sins, and (1 Cor 15:3; Col 1:19-20; Heb 9:26-28) ...to make reconciliation for iniquity, and (Rom 5:10; 2 Cor 5:18; Col 1:20-22; Eph 2:14-16) ...to bring in everlasting righteousness, and (Matt 3:15; Rom 3:21-22; Rom 8:4; 2 Cor 5:21) ...to seal up the vision and prophecy, and (Jn 19:30; Luke 24:25-27; Rev 19:10) ...to anoint the most Holy. (Is 61:1; Mark 1:15; Luke 4:18; Heb 9:8) {Daniel 9:24} < The context And he [the Messiah] shall confirm the covenant with many for ONE WEEK: and IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK (the seventieth) he [Christ] SHALL CAUSE THE SACRIFICE AND THE OBLATION TO CEASE, and for the overspreading of abominations (the continued temple sacrifices, after Christ one perfect sacrifice.) he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. ("Behold your house has been left unto you desolate.") {Daniel 9:27} 7 weeks + 62 weeks + *one week* = 70 weeks, to anoint the most Holy, and to seal up the vision and the prophecy. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, *It was necessary* that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: (for there were three and a half years remaining grace for "thy people" of the final week.) but seeing ye put it from you, and *judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life* lo, we turn to the Gentiles. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. {Acts 13:46-48} To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until *the land had enjoyed her sabbaths* for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years. {2 Chronicles 36:21} For 490 years, equal to 70 sabbath rest for the land every seventh year, that Israel and Judah transgressed the law of God. This is why they received seventy years exiled in bondage in the land of Babylon. There was no gap in their seventy years in exil, and there is no gap in the 490 years of transgressing the law of God, and there most certainly was no gap unto the coming of the Messiah who did not come in a vacuum, but rather confirmed his covenant with many for there and a half years, and in the land of Israel's inheritance. The stoning of Steven is when probation closed on the covenant that God made with the their fathers, exactly three and a half years after Jesus Christ, our passover was sacrificed for us, and the gospel of the kingdom of heaven went out unto the Gentiles also.
It all boils down to what they define TRIBUALTION is VS what WRATH is. The TRIBUALTION , the 3.5 years, is NOT GOD's WRATH! We will not get God's WRATH, but we will be here for the GREAT TRIBULATION, again which is not GOD's Wrath. . .
There is no such scripture telling of a three and a half year tribulation. Seventy weeks are determined upon *thy people and upon thy holy city* ...to finish the transgression, and (Jn 1:29; 1 Jn 3:5; Is 53:12) ...to make an end of sins, and (1 Cor 15:3; Col 1:19-20; Heb 9:26-28) ...to make reconciliation for iniquity, and (Rom 5:10; 2 Cor 5:18; Col 1:20-22; Eph 2:14-16) ...to bring in everlasting righteousness, and (Matt 3:15; Rom 3:21-22; Rom 8:4; 2 Cor 5:21) ...to seal up the vision and prophecy, and (Jn 19:30; Luke 24:25-27; Rev 19:10) ...to anoint the most Holy. (Is 61:1; Mark 1:15; Luke 4:18; Heb 9:8) {Daniel 9:24} < The context And he [the Messiah] shall confirm the covenant with many for ONE WEEK: and IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK (the seventieth) he [Christ] SHALL CAUSE THE SACRIFICE AND THE OBLATION TO CEASE, and for the overspreading of abominations (the continued temple sacrifices, after Christ one perfect sacrifice.) he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. ("Behold your house has been left unto you desolate.") {Daniel 9:27} 7 weeks + 62 weeks + *one week* = 70 weeks, to anoint the most Holy, and to seal up the vision and the prophecy. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, *It was necessary* that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: (for there were three and a half years remaining grace for "thy people" of the final week.) but seeing ye put it from you, and *judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life* lo, we turn to the Gentiles. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. {Acts 13:46-48} To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until *the land had enjoyed her sabbaths* for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years. {2 Chronicles 36:21} For 490 years, equal to 70 sabbath rest for the land every seventh year, that Israel and Judah transgressed the law of God. This is why they received seventy years exiled in bondage in the land of Babylon. There was no gap in their seventy years in exil, and there is no gap in the 490 years of transgressing the law of God, and there most certainly was no gap unto the coming of the Messiah who did not come in a vacuum, but rather confirmed his covenant with many for there and a half years, and in the land of Israel's inheritance. The stoning of Steven is when probation closed on the covenant that God made with the their fathers, exactly three and a half years after Jesus Christ, our passover was sacrificed for us, and the gospel of the kingdom of heaven went out unto the Gentiles also.
@@larrybedouin2921 Excellent Larry.......and notice that Stephen exclaimed he saw Christ *standing* not sitting at God’s right hand. This means judgement and the final judgement against the covenant breakers came in 70AD when God obliterated Jerusalem and her temple just as Christ prophesied in His Olivet Discourse *this generation will not pass til all these things have been fulfilled* ... God bless you
@@ChrisHolman great then as the Bible clearly states that the tribulation is Gods Wrath poured out of unbelievers for rejection of His son then why must a Christian endure wrath of God? Wouldn’t that be like Jesus saying dear bride I going to take you to a great feast at my fathers house BUT first I’m going to let the devil and his hoards of evil have their way with you, beat you maybe even kill you, then we’re going to go have dinner, wouldn’t that make Jesus a wife beater, and as some have said that proves your love , well in that case doesn’t that negate grace? Matt 24 Jesus said as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in the coming of the son of man, Jesus said they were eating , drinking. Giving in marriage, NORMAL everyday life, then Jesus says two will be in the field one taken one left, two at the mill one taken one left, NORMAL everyday life. When we read Revelation with all the famines, earthquakes, asteroids, poisoned water how is anyone going to caring on with normal everyday cares of life it will take all that a person can do just to survive. That is why I read Matt 24 and in prayer I believe in a Pre Tribulation rapture, for many years I believed in mid trib but since changed to Pre Tribulation. I feel I owe you an apology for my first comment about getting a new church, for that I am sorry, but I have enjoyed the discussion, Blessings on you
The key to understanding the timing of the rapture is Revelation. It's telling you it's in order. That is why you have the 7 seals. The 7 trumpets, the Seven Bowls. If you can't see they are in order you will never get it. The first mention of the wrath of God is right after.... Rev 6 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and [g]behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the [h]moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, Rev 7 the Christians are around the throne of God. They came out of the great tribulation. The rapture has already happened. You are given the order of events right here. The 5th seal is the culmination of the tribulation for Christians. We are on the earth during the first 5 seals. After the sun, the moon, and the stars is the rapture. Compare to Mat 24, it is all right there. It is not difficult at all.
Very good message! What are your thoughts about the total duration of all 7 bowls of wrath? I still believe Jesus will return in a jubilee year at the feast of trumpets when the 7th bowl is also poured out.
Joel, you have correctly put Matt 24:29-31 together with Rev 6:12-17 The 6th seal. Now, you jump to the sounding of the 7th trumpet. Wait a minute because now is the opening of the 7th seal at which point the 7 trumpets are given to the 7 Angels. The 7th trumpet has not happened has it? No. Because they have only just been given to the 7 Angels. Yet the rapture has just happened. The event of the rapture & translation of our bodies happens at the last trump. Therefore, the last trump and the 7th trump can not be the same. I will repeat that. The last trump and the 7th trumpet can not be the same.
So does Yeshuah open seals 1-6, and comes down at the six seal too? and then He goes back up to open the 7th seal in heaven? And are the 12 tribes sealed at the 6th seal or at the fifth trumpet? And when is satan cast to earth? Before creation, or is that him coming out the pit? Or does he go to prison, then we have to face him again? After some studies I'm here at the 5,6,7th seals And trumpets 1-5 What do y'all think 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Not really . This is the Revelation of Jesus. He has already opened the seals or you would have the book to read. But you are right, the rapture is at the 6th seal.
@@jamescole3152 rapture at the 6th seal? nope. keep studying. here is a small clue Rev. 11 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
The Israelites did not leave Egypt until after the plagues. The plagues were not meant for them, but they were there for it all. What do pre-trib believers have to say about that? Not much, in my experience. They'll just agree to disagree, with hands tightly clamped over their ears.
Unfortunately this has been my experience with my friends and family and church. Pre trib is just too delightful to believe and too consistent with the typical American experience of Christianity. My wife bless her has listened to me studying and changing my mind over the last 3 years and agrees with the call to endure for our Lord.
@@zacharyhockett6248 My parents were hardcore pretribers, despite my annoying habit of bringing it up frequently. I'm not sure what happened, but one day, 20 years later, they just realized they'd been wrong the whole time. They actually recommended FAI to me. It takes time to chop through the weeds, but sometimes it makes a difference.
I am wondering what about past believers that have died in say like the 1900s, who do not have to endure the tribulation. Why must the survivors in tribulation be tested and not them?
1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 (NKJV) 9 For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, [even] Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT EXPLAINING THE FIRST RESURRECTION AT THE TIME OF RAPTURE, IS CONFUSED WITH THE FIRST RESURRECTION AT THE TIME OF THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TO STEPS OR STAGES OF THE SAME EVENT OF THE FIRST RESURRECTION: ONE IN THE RAPTURE AND THE SECOND, AT HIS SECOND COMING, AND THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT IT. THIS INCONGRUENCE OF TWO STAGES OF THE FIRST RESURRECTION, IS THE ONE THAT LED ME TO UNDERSTAND RAPTURE HAS TO BE AT THE SECOND COMING AS JOHN 14:1-2 HAS SAID!
Went to press like on this. It wouldn't let me. It said resources have been met? My resource? pressed like on other things to much? Or the resources have been met on the video itself?
I always read not being destined for wrath to be the lake of fire as well. Never even crossed my mind it would refer to any temporal judgment on this earth. That being said, even IF you want to apply that verse to the temporal wrath of God, Revelation explicitly defines the wrath of God, the 7 bowls of WRATH! Can't get much clearer than that. Now what's interesting is the 7 bowls of wrath are actually the 7th Trumpet, which is the last trumpet mentioned in the Bible. Note Paul says that the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive and remain will be caught up AT THE LAST TRUMPET. So right there it shows we do get raptured right as the Judgment of God comes upon the earth which IS His second coming. So, it fits perfectly with a post-Trib, pre-Wrath rapture doctrine. Also, Rev 20:4-5 spells out that the FIRST resurrection includes those who were beheaded for not worshipping the Beast or accepting the mark. Since Paul spells out that the dead in Christ rise FIRST and THEN we who are alive and remain will be caught up, it's impossible for the rapture to take place before the first resurrection which includes the saints martyred in the tribulation and therefore the rapture is POST tribulation. None of this requires reading any hidden meaning in any verse, or extrapolating any meaning, creating multiple returns of Christ or assuming words written to other churches apply to us.
Some people believe that when God said I give you eternal life that he really meant it. We know he really meant temporary life unless we earn it through enduring to the end right?
I appreciate what you guys are doing. That being said does it really matter when he comes back? If you are abiding in the vine then when he comes is simply a fulfillment of our hope in him. The timing is irrelevant.
The BELIEF in the timing is not irrelevant. The Bible says if possible even the very elect would be deceived. If we are truly abiding in the vine, then we are about the Word of God and what it has to say on the subject. I believe Joel and others are teaching the importance of timing because many believers, especially western believers have lost the desire and meaning of Eschatalogy. The Pre-Tribulational view dogmatically and explicitly teaches the church will NOT see tribulation or Anti-Christ. This is dangerous and could lead professing Christians to think that the Anti-Christ IS the Messiah. Most western pastors are uncomfortable with prophecy and teaching it from the pulpit. Things are changing rapidly and we must be watchful. I believe that is what Joel (and others) are about. The church is going to get a rude awakening and a time of testing such as never been before. In my opinion, too many Christians are uninterested and apathetic to the return of Christ. They like their comfortable life. These teachings remind us, a time is soon coming of great discomfort.
Hi Joel, great teaching! *Just upfront: I do not believe that the pre-tribulation "rapture" is accurate based on a number of passages. A question though, in Matthew 24:29-31, is Jesus referring to the resurrection unto life (John 5:29, I Thes 4:13-18) or is He referring to the salvation of Israel both from their enemies as well as a heart change at His second coming? I am leaning more towards the idea that Jesus is explaining the rescue and redemption of the Jews from their enemies at His 2nd coming when He comes with all of His armies out of Heaven (Rev 19:11-16). I believe the end of Matthew 23 ( 39For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”) all the way through Matthew 24 and 25 is telling the singular story of Israel's salvation (both the rescue of the remnant from their enemies (the Beast empire (Islamic in nature)) AND their true repentance and changed heart. They will finally give their full allegiance to their God, and Creator...Jesus, who is the/their Messiah. I'm not convinced that our resurrection/catching up is what Jesus is talking about in this section of scripture then, but rather that He is referring to Isaiah 66:15-16,18-20: 15“For behold, the Lord will come in fire, and his chariots like the whirlwind, to render his anger in fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. 16For by fire will the Lord enter into judgment, and by his sword, with all flesh; and those slain by the Lord shall be man 18“For I know their works and their thoughts, and the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and shall see my glory, 19and I will set a sign among them. And from them I will send survivors to the nations, to Tarshish, Put, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands far away, that have not heard my fame or seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory among the nations. 20And they shall bring all your brothers from all the nations as an offering to the Lord, on horses and in chariots and in litters and on mules and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, just as the Israelites bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord. 21And some of them also I will take for priests and for Levites, says the Lord. Matthew 24:29 starts off with "Day of the Lord" language. The language that comes after in verse 30... the "sign" also mentioned in Isaiah 66:19 is the pillar of smoke/fire that is also mentioned in Isaiah 4:5-6 and Isaiah 11:11-16 (in particular in verse 12). It is the same pillar that led Israel in the past and according to Isaiah 4:5-6 it is once again in the land protecting God's people after He has cleansed them with a new heart when finally they say "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord" (Matthew 23:39) and mourn over whom they have pierced (Zech 12:10). I believe that the survivors mentioned in Isaiah 66:19 are survivors from the last battle (Armageddon) and are from the 10 Islamic nations that form the beast militia. Jesus at His 2nd coming has gone throughout the region in a series of battles with the last battle finally destroying all of the Beast armies except for these few survivors that He sends back as messengers (angels) to their homelands (where they have taken out a portion of Jews) to tell their people "let My people go" (just like Moses was sent to Pharaoh). The nations bring them back to Jerusalem and at that time the nations are judged as sheep or goats (Matthew 25:31-46) based on how they treated the least of His people. Verse 31 states "gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other" which leads us to what is recorded in Deut 30:4-8, Zech 2:6-13 and Neh 1:8-9. This language of the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other is a description of God not only sending His people out of the land but also and more importantly bringing His people back into the land that He gave their fathers AND He gives them a new heart so that they will love God. Duet 30:4-8 is referring to the same time period that Jesus is referring to in Matthew 24 and according to Zech 2 He will dwell in their midst...which again will be this same time period. As to our resurrection...Paul states in I Thes 4:13-17 that God will bring with Jesus at His coming those who have fallen ASLEEP (those who have already died in Christ which cannot mean those caught up, since they did NOT fall asleep (died)) down with Him from Heaven. John states in Rev 19:11-16 that Christ will descend from Heaven on a white horse along with His armies dressed in white robes and also on white horses. The "asleep" or dead as seen in Revelation 6 (the martyrs given white robes to wear as I suspect also those John sees in Rev 7 from every tribe, etc) are spirits of the dead yet to be reunited with their bodies. Paul then states that the dead will be resurrected first and those left alive will be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air (as His entourage to escort Him as He comes down to the earth...similar to when the people came out to greet Jesus when He came to Jerusalem the 1st time riding on a donkey.) So it is in the air (between Heaven and earth, since we are both from the earth and also of Heaven) that our spirits and our bodies will become one again. It seems then that it is on our way down (riding those white horses) that we are embodied once more and once we hit the earth we go to war (Jude 14-15)...an invincible army that death no longer has a claim. This resurrection then happens on THE LAST DAY according to Jesus (John 6:39-40) and begins The Day of the Lord. (At least that's what I think, but I could be wrong though...) :) ***Here is a breakdown of the language used in Matthew 24:29-31 that is actually used and explained in the following Old Testament scriptures: * Tribulation of those days: The time of Jacob's troubles (Jeremiah 30) * Sun, moon, cosmos: (Joel 2 + 3 + others re: Day of the Lord) * Powers of the Heavens: (Eph 6:12)12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Col 1:16For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through him and for him. * Sign of the Son of Man: The pillar of smoke and fire as in the OT.. (see Isaiah 66:19, Isaiah 4;1-6, Isaiah 11:11-16) * All tribes of earth will mourn: (Habakkuk 3:3-7, Rev 6:12-17) * Son of Man on the clouds of heaven: (see Daniel 7:13-14) * Send out His Angels: (Angels=messengers) (see Isaiah 66:19,20) * Loud Trumpet: (Joel 2:1-11) * Gather His elect: (Isaiah 66:19-20, Deut 30:4-8, Zech 2:6-13, Isaiah 11:11-16) * Four winds of heaven: (see Deut 30:4-8, Zech 2:6-13, Neh 1:8-9)
I have a question. I know as the Scriptures say, "all who live Godly in Christ Jesus, will suffer tribulation". But, I live in a very rural area in a "rural" state in the US. And though there are secular people, a large part of my region are followers of Jesus or live based on Christian values. For instance, I've never even known a Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, etc. So I've not suffered persecution from others. And I always get this sinking feeling that I'm not giving glory to the Lord through suffering persecution in His name. Like, since I haven't been "tested" in this way, the Lord God doesn't want me. And I pray the Lord forgive me for this question, and having these feelings. I'm not begging for and seeking persecution. I just wonder if I pass away without having ever been persecuted, will the Lord hold it against me?
Just because you are not experiencing persecution now doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Also “Christian values” does NOT mean born again believer. I bet those ones would be the first to turn you into the antichrist
Just a question and to make this one small point Joel. Firstly, what translation are you reading from, particularly when you cite Rev 6:15-17? My NKJV in verse 16 as you quoted says, "...from the wrath of the Lamb!" Then verse 17 says "For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?" Whichever translation you quoted from says "...their wrath has come,..." Now this might seem like some petty discrepancy but it is NOT! That is because there are two separate and distinct components of the wrath. Firstly, the wrath of the Lamb as referenced above, which essentially is comprised of the trumpet judgements, culminating with the 7th (the last) trumpet at which time we see the rewarding of the saints and prophets, their resurrection (the first resurrection/the rapture) as stated in Rev 11:18! But notice that Rev 15:1 states firstly "Then I (John) saw...seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God (the Father) is complete. The presence of the adverb 'Then' beginning this sentence denotes a chronological sequence specifying that the event described occurs sequentially after the events which precede it. Namely the seven trumpet judgements which roughly comprise the wrath of the Lamb. (I don't want to get bogged down in the explaining the detail of how the 7th seal comprises the trumpets and how the 7th trumpet comprised the bowls here; I'm confident that you understand this) Then come the 7 last plagues of the Father comprised of the 7 bowls! Notice verse 2 says "And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass,..." obviously these are they of the first resurrection! Those whom endured until the end! (remember what Jesus said about yhose days being shortened?) But this is not yet the end of temporal events upon the earth! Looking now to verse 5 we read "After these things I looked, ...", here the descriptor 'after' once again denotes a chronological sequence of events with those described occurring later than those preceding them, namely the trumpet judgements of the wrath of the Lamb! Notice the difference? The former being the wrath of the Lamb, the latter the wrath of the Father! It is this final wrath, that of the bowls of the Father's wrath, to which the saints are not appointed. As described in verse 2 they clearly are not upon the earth! Unless you can direct me to that sea of glass mingled with with fire somewhere, that would make some tourist destination! This is logical and sensible and derives simply from a careful reading of the text! The trumpets are the Lamb's wrath, the first resurrection occurs at the 7th trumpet, the saints meet Jesus in the air to then always be with Jesus, I suggest that then simulateously occur the heavenly marriage supper of the Lamb to His bride the saints, whist upon earth the Father's wrath gets poured out. Notice in Rev 19 where is described in verses 6-8 the wedding feast. Now turning to verse 11 & 14-15 we have described the second coming of Christ with the saints returning from heaven to the earth! This happens when the 7th bowl is poured out 16:17! That's what the loud voice from the heavenly temple saying "It is done!" means Joel. Unless of course, that is, if your Bible translation says "...their wrath..." in 6:17 as yours does, in which case all this clarity gets muddied up. (yeah, that's an allusion)
I hold a pre-wrath and post tribulation view. There is internal conflict between the two views that need resolution. Joel makes a distinction between the temporal wrath and the final eternal wrath of God in delivering us from the wrath to come. This allows the saints, now immortalized at the 7th trumpet, to remain on earth with Jesus as the wrath is poured out in the 7 bowls. There is only one descent of Jesus to meet the saints on his way to earth. The saints do not go up before the throne of God. Now you bring out that this conflicts with the vision of the saints before God before the bowls are poured out. Joel does not resolve this conflict. You resolve it by making a distinction between the wrath of the Lamb, the 7 trumpets, and the wrath of Father God, the 7 bowls. I have a different solution. First I do not see any distinction between the wrath of the Lamb and God. The 7 trumpets are precursors announcing the coming Day of the Lord`s wrath. When the 6th seal is opened and the heavens split to see the throne and the coming great day of their wrath, the winds of wrath are held back and delayed until the sealing of the saints. The logical outcome of the sealing is envisioned in the saints before the throne. It is a prefiguring of what occurs after the 7th seal and at the 7th trumpet. Second, the time distinction between the bowls as the last of God`s wrath and the wrath that proceeded it point not to the 7 trumpets but to the grapes of wrath harvest trampled in the winepress after the 7th trumpet. Now I agree with you that the saints destiny is to be delivered from the temporal wrath to come at the Day of the Lord and be raptured to the throne of God. But I also agree with Joel that there is only one descent of Christ at his coming. Pre-wrath sees two descents, one at the rapture and the other with Christ return on the white horse. Now my solution is that at the sign of his coming when every eye sees him as the heavens are split, the saints ascend to meet the Lord, seated on the clouds of heaven. The sign remains for an extended time to allow for the trampling of the winepress and the bowls of wrath until Christ descends with the saints to mop up the final battle. The sign of his coming connects the time lapse between the ascent of the saints to meet Christ on the clouds of heaven and the descent with Christ on the white horse.

3) Luke 21:36 says PRAY ALWAYS you are found worthy to escape these things that he described and if that meant eternal a different word would have been used .
4) If you don’t know the day or hour of one event then Jesus isn’t referring to RAPTURE HERE IS HE? NO, yet He describe that later after verse 32 doesn’t he? Yes … however Matthew 24:15 Jesus was answering the questions asked about the end for his second coming and Jesus quoted DANIEL who said, When u see the abomination of desolation is ata ding in the holy place it will be 1290 day days… That’s a specific day,
5) Jesus also stated it will be like “the” day noah was placed into the ark… Not taken out of context,look at what happened “the” day noah went into the ARK. God shut them up in ark 7 days before wrath on earth (RESCUED IN SARTH BEFORE FLOOD-not in middle of flood, not enduring the flood but before the flood )
6) Jesus also stated THIS IN LUKE, Remember Lots Wife
So who is twisting meanings of text? It’s the teacher here. same word RAPTURE harpadzo moses up to mountain transported up to God, Enoch was transported to Heaven off earth… SAME WORD
Well, right now crushing people under my none feet doesn’t feel good, however vengeance is mine saith the Lord. You can’t imagine how blessed that is to me being an amputee with chronic pain. I can’t wait for that day !
I sure am glad that Jesus endured until the end on my behalf. 🙂👍
Joel is a rare breed. Lord thank you for him. Touch his precious wife with relief and bless his teaching to reach the nations in Jesus name.
Ohmgosh this has been so beautiful thank you so much I am literally jumping out of my self right now n happiness of the awesomeness of our God can’t wait I cannot wait for the day to be with him for eternity to be with our master and our Lord for eternity amen to the king of kings & lord of lords
Amen. Delivered through, not from. Keep your eyes on Yeshua.
tereo ek means removal from.
@@donhaddix3770 where?
@@donhaddix3770 to keep from, subtly different See how Jesus uses it in Jn 17:15.
@@chava2uk150 revelation 3:10 does NOT say keep through. It says KEEP FROM. Tereo ek. EK (ek)
Preposition Strong's 1537: From out, out from among, from, suggesting from the interior outwards.
“Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will KEEP THEE FROM the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”
Revelation 3:10
You are literally going against Jesus own words. He said “keep out of the time of testing the whole world”. Not keep through it.
Concerning john 17:15 Jesus is preparing to depart, and He's praying to the Father for His disciples as they're about to embark on a long and difficult journey without Him and He's praying to the Father, saying, "Please don't take them out of the world, but protect them" The phrase "please don't take them out of the world" makes perfect sense because, their real journey was about to start and He wanted them to complete the journey. Jesus did not want his disciples out of the word yet because they had to spread the gospel as the church age began. If they were taken out, There would be no one on earth to spread the gospel. So they couldn't possibly be taken out yet. This petition was to temporarily not take them out. How do i know? Just keep reading. in the next verses Jesus says:
"'Father, I want those you have given me to be WITH ME where I AM , and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world."
John 17:24.
Here he's saying that he does want us to be where he is in so we see his glory. Where is Jesus now and where is his glory? In heaven. So, here we see that he himself said he wants us to be where he is in heaven to see his glory.
and i’ll add that Jesus also mentioned in John 14:2-4 that he we to heaven to prepare a place for us at the Father’s house. And he will take us there someday . So eventually one day he will take his church out of the world to the Fathers house.
In Revelation 2 and 3, the journey is about to conclude, and the Church is about to be rewarded for the journey. The context here is, "because you have kept the word of my patience, i will reward you this”. All the rewards being described in Revelation 2 and 3 are "end of journey" "end of the age" rewards. That's the context here.
John 17:15 is completely taken out of context by post tribbers. It does not prove in any way shape or form that Jesus will not take his church out of the world. That is all made up by the post trib camp.
Does not mean removal
Let's lock arms and cross the finish line... Gave me good chills and happy tears❤
Found you today September 24 62 pretrib Have been asking for truth regarding the rapture. It is profound!! We need to endure to the end….. Thank you
The voices I hear are you’ll never make it, you can’t get through a day let alone a lifetime…. It wears me down but I get back up because his mercies are new every morning
If I'm honest, some days are pure spite for the enemy. I, too, have been worn down. But, if he wants me dead, imma do the next right thing and lean even more into my Lord. If the enemy wants to harass me, imma sing praise and make him listen. God will enable us, one day at a time. He is so good and perfect and kind. And, in my weakness, He is strength. Let's abide in Him, day by day, and we will rejoice when His power is made known to all. I'm praying for your strengthening and encouragement today. He loves you so much. See you in Heaven, sister!
Every morning!! You’ll make it, He’s with you every step of the way; “Keep on keepin’ on”!
Mary rebuke those voices. It is satan. It's your responsibility to put them under your feet. Start now by rebuking them and telling them to shut up and to get under your feet. Start now.
Patience of the saints... War against the saints...
Prayer and fasting ...
Weapons against powers and principalities... Love of Christ compel us all, Amen!
Joel this has been a very dynamic and truthful teaching
May the Lord keep giving you His Strength to courageously expose the frightening false teaching about escapism that does not prepare the Body of Christ for what is ahead
"And they overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." Revelation 12:11
I was raised in the pre-trib, pre-rath, rapture teaching. Then, God opened my eyes as He continues to wash me in the whole context and counsel of His Word. My spirit bares witness with His Spirit and Word as you are teaching. There is deep peace, the fear of the Lord, His Almighty power and His love for those who will believe in Christ. My heart cries out to know Him in Spirit and in truth, to prepare the way for our soon coming King and to be in fellowship with those who receive this teaching. He knew we would be in the earth during this time and has given us all we need in His victory to overcome. Praying about participating in the July Summit.
Maranatha!!!
Beautiful teaching, thank you so much. I shall send to my ex pre trib Pastor. He has So many following his false teaching. How sad to see, he has young families and old people and all sorts...and he is leading them to slaughter 😥
Praise God that He gave me eyes to see and ears to hear. HalleluYAH 🙌
Thanks again Joel. Wonderful teaching.
It’s crazy how people allow fear to keep them from hearing the truth. People get so mad at me when I tell them that God doesn’t show favoritism. They don’t like hearing that we are the tribulation saints. It’s so mind blowing that they rather believe a lie than the truth. Repenting is the only escape we have from the wrath of God.
May I please have some prayer? I’ve been smoking weed for a couple of years. I’d say I got fooled as I’m sure many have but I have been pressed by Holy Spirit for a while to quit and I’ve been ignoring him. I’m quitting and of course the withdrawals are terrible. And their bad in top of already having an exceptionally rough year. I have seen what’s happening across the world of this “Man dressed in White.” I know who it is. And now there’s revival happening hear and I want to take part in full authenticity for God. I realize now that I’ve hidden my true self from God I want out of this. Thank you everyone and Maranatha
Thank you for boldly and humbly sharing and asking for prayer. I too used to live and breathe smoking weed. The Lord took the desire out of my heart and replaced it with His presence. You will need to break all paraphernalia and everything that binds you to it. Friends, music, anything. He will reward your obedience and protect you. Confess all to Him and allow Him the rightful place on the throne of your heart. I will be praying for you. God bless you and please if you need someone to talk to I am here as a fellow servant of the Most High. If you don't mind I would like to share your testimony with a fellow ship I am a part of and ask them to pray as well? 🙏
I pray for you and all those who are also seeking to overcome an addiction or dependency: May you receive much grace to deal with any changes you may need to make in your lifestyle. May He wring every possible bit of good out of all that you're suffering to purify and refine you so that your pains and efforts aren't wasted. May He get you through the rough patches quickly and may you come to know and remember His faithfulness. May your witness once you've overcome this be a help and encouragement to others.

Pastors don't even like to talk about Christ flipping tables and driving out the money changers with a whip. So I appreciate a sound teaching on His indignation with the unritious. It's convicting and encouraging at the same time.

Just finished listening on the app. One of your best hours of teaching ever, Joel! Such a wonderful study!
Having studied eschatology for over 40 years, God knows my heart is to know and believe truth. While I appreciate much of your teachings, I’m most definitely of the belief that Jesus will bring His bride, the church, to Heaven to be with Him while God pours out His wrath on this world. To say that pre-tribbers believe the church will not ever face tribulations is false. The church has faced constant tribulations since Jesus was taken up to Heaven. I think when Jesus says that the end time will be as the days of Noah and the days of Lot, He is teaching that as Noah was protected from Gods wrath on this earth, and as Lot was protected from Gods wrath, so will the bride of Christ, be protected. Jesus took Gods wrath on the cross..As believers in Christ, we do not have to face Gods wrath. During the 7 years of tribulation, there will be those that come to Christ and most likely will be put to death. There would be no need of 144,000 witnesses, 2 witnesses in Jerusalem, and the angel that flies over the earth proclaiming the Gospel if no one believes during the tribulation. So I listened to several of your teachings to hear both sides. In my spirit I’m still firm on my understanding. Should I see the Anti Christ make a 7 year peace treaty with Israel, I’ll reconsider. Peace to you.
This is "solid food" that we're so much in need. Thank you very much Joel and FAI Team, you're a blessing !!! All series of FAI studies are biblical based and down to earth teachings that has been opening my spiritual understanding of who our Messiah and Lord Jesus really is !!!

Amen Joel..I loved this session..very challenging,thought provoking and encouraging. I always learn so much from you.. teachings I've never heard in all my years as a believer..for such a time as this. Maranatha ❤️
As always, thank you for teaching what the scriptures actually say. The fullness of the scriptures is paramount to a true understanding as well as to honing one's faith.
It is always great to hear someone speak of their understanding and to hear my own understanding in those words.

Thanks brother Joel!!
Thank you Joel for making clear sense of this message.
Amen! Joel.
That's so true! If we cannot be on the earth while the wrath of God is bring revealed upon the earth, then what do we do with Romans 1? The fact is that currently the wrath of God IS being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of man, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. This is the "simmering" wrath of God - the wrath that is seen within individuals and within certain cultures. However, there is the "boiling over" wrath of God that is coming.
Romans 1 " The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness."
Revelation 3:10
New International Version
10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.
Romans was being revealed. Revelation is going to come on the whole world. different.
Great video
👍🏻maranatha!
Thank you for this video, and for your emphasis on enduring till the end. I was just reading a few days ago in Revelation 2 and the common phrase Jesus gives to John to write down for all the seven churches is: "The one who conquers...".
Being saved is THE FINISHED work Jesus accomplished for salvation
We CAN fall away. Scripture tells us this in numerous places.
@kenklein9228 we fall away when we reject HIS FINISHED work for salvation
@@Over-for-now Only a Christian can fall away. If a non believer rejects HIS FINISHED work for salvation, then they aren't saved. Christians can fall away from the very faith they've placed in Christ, in His finished work.
@kenklein9228 Ken, you can have your insecure salvation. If you are correct, then sadly EVERY Christian is LOST. We cannot depend on ourselves to stay saved. We ARE weak and still have THAT adamic nature THAT God declares " sins continually". Our flesh NEVER improves. It's the divine nature THAT we are given as a gift, THAT NEVER sins. The divine nature THAT we are given at salvation makes the believer COMPLETE in HIM. He makes the believer COMPLETE and perfect by HIS FINISHED work
@@Over-for-now These scripture tell us that we can, indeed, fall away:: Heb. 3:12; Matthew 13:20-21; 2 Thess 2:3; Matthew 24:10.
Yes, we still have our sin nature we inherited from Adam. God's goal for us is to get us cleaned up so that we DON'T fall away. The way He does that is through His discipline, in which we deal with our carnal nature - Paul talks about this ALOT, as do Peter and James. The vast majority of us stumble along in our Christian walk, always in a state of risk of choosing to fall away. The way to eternal security is to cooperate with the Lord in His process, His discipline, to "crucify the passions and desires of the flesh".
Thank you
Amen
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Amen my brothers and sisters I'm a studyre of birds you guys in Israel at least 280 different species meat eating birds just came out of nowhere for the great feast
What!, really? When did this happen? Are these new species of birds?
God poured His wrath on Egypt and He spared Israelis. They didn't have to leave. God knows who is who... I think some people are so afraid of the tribulation and don't trust God to see them thru...and that's even a greater sin!...
All the saints dying during the great tribulation are those who are willingly giving their lives for the testimony of Jesus, being slaughtered by the AC and going as matyrs for Jesus. They are welcomed with white robes, guys! These saints are very special in heaven. In the millennial kingdom these saints will be celebrities.. 👏👏
There are no saints dying from the plagues. The bible clearly states those killed by plagues refuse to repent and more wrath comes. So God is protecting saints from the wrath but allowing matyrdom...God is highly glorified when we die as matyrs..
It is interesting that when I hear Christians or pastors say, "We are not appointed to wrath" but at the same time these same people completely ignore the tremendous violent persecution that Jesus warned his followers about before his return in Mathew 24. It is as if most American evangelical pastors have pre conditioned American Christians to believe that they will not have to suffer any kind of trouble or tribulation! Could these same pastors go over to places like Nigeria, India or the Middle East and tell those Christians that ? Maybe my brothers and sisters in those regions of the world didn't get that memo ?
Hidden on earth in a place prepared for them, those remaining are caught up as He comes back and they join Him on His March to Jerusalem.
Thank you for your commitment to this teaching. I am finding this very helpful in my understanding of eschatology. It would be very helpful if you would display a timeline of events as you describe in this series. Thank you again!
They did a video about that. So good! Not sure what it was called. A few years back on their YT page. Understanding Revelations or something...
We have a lot of nambi pambi Christians yesterday and today that cry loud to the Lord when suffering from the worlds persecution rather than thanking the Lord that they are found worthy. For those Foxes Book of Martyrs would be a good read.
Ray Hannum. Great response. Yes so many nanny pambi christians- I keep trying different churches but even their pastors and elders do not believe in evangelism AT ALL. Including RC Sproul! Most are pre trib and will not even discuss or debate the pre vs post trib debate. They even persecute those who evangelize and those who are post trib. I sought Christian counseling and was told that almost all churches are watered down versions of what the Scriptures say. This is because of the infiltration of the commies in the
1940-50’s.
Not appointed unto wrath.
Appointed unto tribulations because it’s the tribulum which separates wheat from chaff.
👍🏻
Tribulation is what satan and the fallen world does the the church (the saints).
Wrath is what God Himself pours out on satan and the fallen world.

You may want to re-state your comment about Israel...
Once you accept Yeshua as Messiah you are "Grafted IN" to Israel. (Romans 11)
And you are no longer a foreigner, of the nations or a gentile, but a citizen of Israel. (Ephesians 2:19 and 1 Corinthians 12:2)
There is NO SUCH THING as a Jewish or Gentile "Christian". (Galatians 3:28)
People who CLAIM to follow Yeshua the Messiah thinking they are still a gentile is one of the things that have caused so much confusion and so many false teachings in "the church"...
If they are still a gentile, then they have NO PLACE in any of the Covenants or the Blessings of Israel. (Jeremiah 31:31-34)
BUT...
If they INSIST as being counted as a "Gentile", then they will be counted as "the Nations" who come up to the Kingdom, not part of the Kingdom... (Micah 4:2, Zechariah 14:17)
There are NO "Gentile" gates or a "Church" gate in the Kingdom... (Revelation 21:12)
WRATH is going to fall on idolaters...(1 Corinthians 6:9)
ChistMass or Easter anyone?
Yep, it's bad enough they extrapolate wild meanings into scripture to support their doctrine which flies in the face of plainly stated scripture, BUT they can't even tell the difference between wrath and tribulation! They're so used to twisting scriptures' meanings that now they redefine words as well.
I thought the blood of Christ covering the person separates wheat from chaff.
Joel, great point about the saints participation in the graphic events. Revelation 19:17-18 NKJV
Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, "Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, [18] that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great."
“Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.” (Rom. 5:9)
“And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead - Jesus - who rescues us from the wrath to come.” (1 Thes. 1:10)
“Let us be self-controlled putting on faith and love and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thes. 5:9)
In all three passages, Paul is not talking about the wrath that God will pour out during the day of the Lord, rather he is contrasting the eternal wrath of hell to eternal salvation, not tribulation or day of the Lord wrath.
What about Luke 21:34-36?
There is an escape described here on the Day of the Lord.
2nd Thessalonians 1:6-10 also says there's a rest for believers on the Day Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels to take vengeance.
This rest is also declared in Revelation 14:12-14 just before the Son of Man appears on the cloud, identical to Matthew 24:30.
What is the Day of the Lord? It's not Revelation 19. It's Revelation 6:12-17.
The signs here are an exact match to Joel 2:31-32.
There's a deliverance on this day for all who call upon the name of the Lord.
Isaiah 34:4-8 also identifies the Day of Vengeance as matching the signs given in Revelation 6:12-14
Also Isaiah 13:6-13
Psalm 7:6-7 says the Lord is angry and He comes and the congregation will surround Him (1st Thessalonians 4:13-17) and then He returns to on high for their sake. Sounds like Matthew 25. They go and shut their doors behind them and hide until the indignation is past.

@@timothyhowie6171 Mentioning the scripture isn't sufficient to show whether you're interpreting it through your dream or vice-versa.
There is no scriptural support for the idea that the Rapture will occur "as soon as the AC does his thing in the temple". What Matthew 24:15-16 and Mark 13:14 tell us is that's the signal for disciples to flee and seek refuge in the mountains. Christ's return is still some time off at that point.

I think of revelation 12:11as how they will join in the trampling. I heard this I think in FAI's revelation series.
Malachi 4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ASHES under the soles of your feet in the day that I SHALL DO THIS, saith the LORD of hosts. Ok, I understand, we shall tread on their ashes, AFTER the Lord Jesus tramples them. (Zechariah 14:12)

Correct. And Dispensors love to insist that the GT is God's wrath - that's not true. God's wrath consists of the bowls only, and we have a ticket out before they're poured.
The ceasing of sacrifices happens in the middle, (Dan 9:27) but the abomination of desolation happens 1290 days later (Dan 12:11)
Seventy weeks are determined upon *thy people and upon thy holy city*
...to finish the transgression, and
(Jn 1:29; 1 Jn 3:5; Is 53:12)
...to make an end of sins, and

...to seal up the vision and prophecy, and
(Jn 19:30; Luke 24:25-27; Rev 19:10)
...to anoint the most Holy.
(Is 61:1; Mark 1:15; Luke 4:18; Heb 9:8)
{Daniel 9:24} < The context
And he [the Messiah] shall confirm the covenant with many for ONE WEEK: and IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK (the seventieth) he [Christ] SHALL CAUSE THE SACRIFICE AND THE OBLATION TO CEASE, and for the overspreading of abominations (the continued temple sacrifices, after Christ one perfect sacrifice.) he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. ("Behold your house has been left unto you desolate.")
{Daniel 9:27}
7 weeks + 62 weeks + *one week* = 70 weeks, to anoint the most Holy, and to seal up the vision and the prophecy.
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, *It was necessary* that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: (for there were three and a half years remaining grace for "thy people" of the final week.) but seeing ye put it from you, and *judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life* lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
{Acts 13:46-48}
To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until *the land had enjoyed her sabbaths* for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
{2 Chronicles 36:21}
For 490 years, equal to 70 sabbath rest for the land every seventh year, that Israel and Judah transgressed the law of God.
This is why they received seventy years exiled in bondage in the land of Babylon.
There was no gap in their seventy years in exil, and there is no gap in the 490 years of transgressing the law of God, and there most certainly was no gap unto the coming of the Messiah who did not come in a vacuum, but rather confirmed his covenant with many for there and a half years, and in the land of Israel's inheritance.
The stoning of Steven is when probation closed on the covenant that God made with the their fathers, exactly three and a half years after Jesus Christ, our passover was sacrificed for us, and the gospel of the kingdom of heaven went out unto the Gentiles also.
It all boils down to what they define TRIBUALTION is VS what WRATH is.
The TRIBUALTION , the 3.5 years, is NOT GOD's WRATH!
We will not get God's WRATH, but we will be here for the GREAT TRIBULATION, again which is not GOD's Wrath. . .
In 1 Thessalonians 5:9, wrath is contrasted with salvation, not location. Compare Isaiah 51:6, Malachi 4:1-3.
There is no such scripture telling of a three and a half year tribulation.

(Jn 1:29; 1 Jn 3:5; Is 53:12)
...to make an end of sins, and
(1 Cor 15:3; Col 1:19-20; Heb 9:26-28)
...to make reconciliation for iniquity, and
(Rom 5:10; 2 Cor 5:18; Col 1:20-22; Eph 2:14-16)
...to bring in everlasting righteousness, and
(Matt 3:15; Rom 3:21-22; Rom 8:4; 2 Cor 5:21)
...to seal up the vision and prophecy, and
(Jn 19:30; Luke 24:25-27; Rev 19:10)
...to anoint the most Holy.
(Is 61:1; Mark 1:15; Luke 4:18; Heb 9:8)
{Daniel 9:24} < The context
And he [the Messiah] shall confirm the covenant with many for ONE WEEK: and IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK (the seventieth) he [Christ] SHALL CAUSE THE SACRIFICE AND THE OBLATION TO CEASE, and for the overspreading of abominations (the continued temple sacrifices, after Christ one perfect sacrifice.) he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. ("Behold your house has been left unto you desolate.")
{Daniel 9:27}
7 weeks + 62 weeks + *one week* = 70 weeks, to anoint the most Holy, and to seal up the vision and the prophecy.
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, *It was necessary* that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: (for there were three and a half years remaining grace for "thy people" of the final week.) but seeing ye put it from you, and *judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life* lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
{Acts 13:46-48}
To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until *the land had enjoyed her sabbaths* for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
{2 Chronicles 36:21}
For 490 years, equal to 70 sabbath rest for the land every seventh year, that Israel and Judah transgressed the law of God.
This is why they received seventy years exiled in bondage in the land of Babylon.
There was no gap in their seventy years in exil, and there is no gap in the 490 years of transgressing the law of God, and there most certainly was no gap unto the coming of the Messiah who did not come in a vacuum, but rather confirmed his covenant with many for there and a half years, and in the land of Israel's inheritance.
The stoning of Steven is when probation closed on the covenant that God made with the their fathers, exactly three and a half years after Jesus Christ, our passover was sacrificed for us, and the gospel of the kingdom of heaven went out unto the Gentiles also.
@@larrybedouin2921 Excellent.
People don't want to hear about the tribulation ion They just want to nasrerbate
@@larrybedouin2921
Excellent Larry.......and notice that Stephen exclaimed he saw Christ *standing* not sitting at God’s right hand. This means judgement and the final judgement against the covenant breakers came in 70AD when God obliterated Jerusalem and her temple just as Christ prophesied in His Olivet Discourse *this generation will not pass til all these things have been fulfilled* ...
God bless you
Can you clarify Revelation 12:12? Do Pretrib individuals mistake the wrath of Satan for the wrath of God?
Our church is also post trib pre wrath
So your wrong find a new church, Matt 24 Jesus says it is pre trib
@@heknows5418 I'm a Pastor, I know what the Bible teaches.
@@ChrisHolman great then as the Bible clearly states that the tribulation is Gods Wrath poured out of unbelievers for rejection of His son then why must a Christian endure wrath of God? Wouldn’t that be like Jesus saying dear bride I going to take you to a great feast at my fathers house BUT first I’m going to let the devil and his hoards of evil have their way with you, beat you maybe even kill you, then we’re going to go have dinner, wouldn’t that make Jesus a wife beater, and as some have said that proves your love , well in that case doesn’t that negate grace? Matt 24 Jesus said as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in the coming of the son of man, Jesus said they were eating , drinking. Giving in marriage, NORMAL everyday life, then Jesus says two will be in the field one taken one left, two at the mill one taken one left, NORMAL everyday life. When we read Revelation with all the famines, earthquakes, asteroids, poisoned water how is anyone going to caring on with normal everyday cares of life it will take all that a person can do just to survive. That is why I read Matt 24 and in prayer I believe in a Pre Tribulation rapture, for many years I believed in mid trib but since changed to Pre Tribulation. I feel I owe you an apology for my first comment about getting a new church, for that I am sorry, but I have enjoyed the discussion, Blessings on you
The key to understanding the timing of the rapture is Revelation. It's telling you it's in order. That is why you have the 7 seals. The 7 trumpets, the Seven Bowls. If you can't see they are in order you will never get it.
The first mention of the wrath of God is right after....
Rev 6
I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and [g]behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the [h]moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth,
Rev 7 the Christians are around the throne of God. They came out of the great tribulation. The rapture has already happened. You are given the order of events right here. The 5th seal is the culmination of the tribulation for Christians. We are on the earth during the first 5 seals. After the sun, the moon, and the stars is the rapture. Compare to Mat 24, it is all right there. It is not difficult at all.
You just debunked yourself. Saints are transfigured in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump. The last trump is not before the tribulation.
If your saying Christians "have" to go through tribulation to obtain salvation, what about those who have already died saved loving Christ?
Very good message! What are your thoughts about the total duration of all 7 bowls of wrath? I still believe Jesus will return in a jubilee year at the feast of trumpets when the 7th bowl is also poured out.
Thank you for your teachings,
do you think the 7th trumpet is blown at the 6th year or the end of the 7th year of the tribulation period?
God bless ❤
The 7th year according to scripture. When the 2 witnesses are called up
Not appointed to Gods wrath is true. But the tribulation is Satans wrath.
39:50 - is this what it meant by not hurting the oil and the wine?
Joel, you have correctly put Matt 24:29-31 together with Rev 6:12-17
The 6th seal. Now, you jump to the sounding of the 7th trumpet. Wait a minute because now is the opening of the 7th seal at which point the 7 trumpets are given to the 7 Angels. The 7th trumpet has not happened has it? No. Because they have only just been given to the 7 Angels. Yet the rapture has just happened. The event of the rapture & translation of our bodies happens at the last trump. Therefore, the last trump and the 7th trump can not be the same. I will repeat that. The last trump and the 7th trumpet can not be the same.
44:43 - I like that, that's comprehensive, G-d in literal anthropomorphic terms
We will all forever suffer the first death which is Physical death.

The resurrected will indeed be impervious to the wrath poured out. But what about their young children? Do you have an answer to that situation?
If you think anything you DO saves you, you MAKE the work Jesus accomplished VOID
God requires that 1) We put our faith in Christ 2) That we endure in that faith.
@@kenklein9228 faith is a gift of God. When we ARE saved we ARE COMPLETE in HIM
@@Over-for-now We can still fall away.
@@kenklein9228 when we TRY to add anything to salvation we make VOID the FINISHED work. THAT is SERIOUSLY destructive
So does Yeshuah open seals 1-6, and comes down at the six seal too? and then He goes back up to open the 7th seal in heaven?
And are the 12 tribes sealed at the 6th seal or at the fifth trumpet?
And when is satan cast to earth? Before creation, or is that him coming out the pit? Or does he go to prison, then we have to face him again?
After some studies I'm here at the 5,6,7th seals
And trumpets 1-5

Not really . This is the Revelation of Jesus. He has already opened the seals or you would have the book to read. But you are right, the rapture is at the 6th seal.

The Israelites did not leave Egypt until after the plagues. The plagues were not meant for them, but they were there for it all.
What do pre-trib believers have to say about that? Not much, in my experience. They'll just agree to disagree, with hands tightly clamped over their ears.
Unfortunately this has been my experience with my friends and family and church. Pre trib is just too delightful to believe and too consistent with the typical American experience of Christianity. My wife bless her has listened to me studying and changing my mind over the last 3 years and agrees with the call to endure for our Lord.
@@zacharyhockett6248 My parents were hardcore pretribers, despite my annoying habit of bringing it up frequently. I'm not sure what happened, but one day, 20 years later, they just realized they'd been wrong the whole time. They actually recommended FAI to me. It takes time to chop through the weeds, but sometimes it makes a difference.
I am wondering what about past believers that have died in say like the 1900s, who do not have to endure the tribulation. Why must the survivors in tribulation be tested and not them?
Jesus coming read Bible Thess chapter 1&2 temple Jerusalem after lawless one rules Amen 🙏💗🤣
1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 (NKJV) 9 For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, [even] Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT EXPLAINING THE FIRST RESURRECTION AT THE TIME OF RAPTURE, IS CONFUSED WITH THE FIRST RESURRECTION AT THE TIME OF THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TO STEPS OR STAGES OF THE SAME EVENT OF THE FIRST RESURRECTION: ONE IN THE RAPTURE AND THE SECOND, AT HIS SECOND COMING, AND THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT IT. THIS INCONGRUENCE OF TWO STAGES OF THE FIRST RESURRECTION, IS THE ONE THAT LED ME TO UNDERSTAND RAPTURE HAS TO BE AT THE SECOND COMING AS JOHN 14:1-2 HAS SAID!
How do pre-trib believers conclude that the hour of temptation is equal to all 7 yrs?
Where does it say that all 7 yrs is the wrath of God?
Went to press like on this. It wouldn't let me. It said resources have been met? My resource? pressed like on other things to much? Or the resources have been met on the video itself?
I always read not being destined for wrath to be the lake of fire as well. Never even crossed my mind it would refer to any temporal judgment on this earth.
That being said, even IF you want to apply that verse to the temporal wrath of God, Revelation explicitly defines the wrath of God, the 7 bowls of WRATH! Can't get much clearer than that.
Now what's interesting is the 7 bowls of wrath are actually the 7th Trumpet, which is the last trumpet mentioned in the Bible.
Note Paul says that the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive and remain will be caught up AT THE LAST TRUMPET.
So right there it shows we do get raptured right as the Judgment of God comes upon the earth which IS His second coming.
So, it fits perfectly with a post-Trib, pre-Wrath rapture doctrine.
Also, Rev 20:4-5 spells out that the FIRST resurrection includes those who were beheaded for not worshipping the Beast or accepting the mark. Since Paul spells out that the dead in Christ rise FIRST and THEN we who are alive and remain will be caught up, it's impossible for the rapture to take place before the first resurrection which includes the saints martyred in the tribulation and therefore the rapture is POST tribulation.
None of this requires reading any hidden meaning in any verse, or extrapolating any meaning, creating multiple returns of Christ or assuming words written to other churches apply to us.
Someone somewhere said a red letter Bible will make it clear what Jesus said, which doesn’t support pretrib. Cool🙏🏼❤️!
Some people believe that when God said I give you eternal life that he really meant it. We know he really meant temporary life unless we earn it through enduring to the end right?
I appreciate what you guys are doing. That being said does it really matter when he comes back? If you are abiding in the vine then when he comes is simply a fulfillment of our hope in him. The timing is irrelevant.
The BELIEF in the timing is not irrelevant. The Bible says if possible even the very elect would be deceived. If we are truly abiding in the vine, then we are about the Word of God and what it has to say on the subject. I believe Joel and others are teaching the importance of timing because many believers, especially western believers have lost the desire and meaning of Eschatalogy. The Pre-Tribulational view dogmatically and explicitly teaches the church will NOT see tribulation or Anti-Christ. This is dangerous and could lead professing Christians to think that the Anti-Christ IS the Messiah. Most western pastors are uncomfortable with prophecy and teaching it from the pulpit. Things are changing rapidly and we must be watchful. I believe that is what Joel (and others) are about. The church is going to get a rude awakening and a time of testing such as never been before. In my opinion, too many Christians are uninterested and apathetic to the return of Christ. They like their comfortable life. These teachings remind us, a time is soon coming of great discomfort.
I don’t know about this teaching. It flies in the face of what I have been taught. I will consider it though.
You added a word

Hi Joel, great teaching!
*Just upfront: I do not believe that the pre-tribulation "rapture" is accurate based on a number of passages.
A question though, in Matthew 24:29-31, is Jesus referring to the resurrection unto life (John 5:29, I Thes 4:13-18) or is He referring to the salvation of Israel both from their enemies as well as a heart change at His second coming?
I am leaning more towards the idea that Jesus is explaining the rescue and redemption of the Jews from their enemies at His 2nd coming when He comes with all of His armies out of Heaven (Rev 19:11-16). I believe the end of Matthew 23 ( 39For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”) all the way through Matthew 24 and 25 is telling the singular story of Israel's salvation (both the rescue of the remnant from their enemies (the Beast empire (Islamic in nature)) AND their true repentance and changed heart. They will finally give their full allegiance to their God, and Creator...Jesus, who is the/their Messiah.
I'm not convinced that our resurrection/catching up is what Jesus is talking about in this section of scripture then, but rather that He is referring to Isaiah 66:15-16,18-20:
15“For behold, the Lord will come in fire,
and his chariots like the whirlwind,
to render his anger in fury,
and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16For by fire will the Lord enter into judgment,
and by his sword, with all flesh;
and those slain by the Lord shall be man
18“For I know their works and their thoughts, and the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and shall see my glory, 19and I will set a sign among them. And from them I will send survivors to the nations, to Tarshish, Put, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands far away, that have not heard my fame or seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory among the nations. 20And they shall bring all your brothers from all the nations as an offering to the Lord, on horses and in chariots and in litters and on mules and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, just as the Israelites bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord. 21And some of them also I will take for priests and for Levites, says the Lord.
Matthew 24:29 starts off with "Day of the Lord" language.
The language that comes after in verse 30... the "sign" also mentioned in Isaiah 66:19 is the pillar of smoke/fire that is also mentioned in Isaiah 4:5-6 and Isaiah 11:11-16 (in particular in verse 12). It is the same pillar that led Israel in the past and according to Isaiah 4:5-6 it is once again in the land protecting God's people after He has cleansed them with a new heart when finally they say "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord" (Matthew 23:39) and mourn over whom they have pierced (Zech 12:10).
I believe that the survivors mentioned in Isaiah 66:19 are survivors from the last battle (Armageddon) and are from the 10 Islamic nations that form the beast militia. Jesus at His 2nd coming has gone throughout the region in a series of battles with the last battle finally destroying all of the Beast armies except for these few survivors that He sends back as messengers (angels) to their homelands (where they have taken out a portion of Jews) to tell their people "let My people go" (just like Moses was sent to Pharaoh). The nations bring them back to Jerusalem and at that time the nations are judged as sheep or goats (Matthew 25:31-46) based on how they treated the least of His people.
Verse 31 states "gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other" which leads us to what is recorded in Deut 30:4-8, Zech 2:6-13 and Neh 1:8-9. This language of the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other is a description of God not only sending His people out of the land but also and more importantly bringing His people back into the land that He gave their fathers AND He gives them a new heart so that they will love God. Duet 30:4-8 is referring to the same time period that Jesus is referring to in Matthew 24 and according to Zech 2 He will dwell in their midst...which again will be this same time period.
As to our resurrection...Paul states in I Thes 4:13-17 that God will bring with Jesus at His coming those who have fallen ASLEEP (those who have already died in Christ which cannot mean those caught up, since they did NOT fall asleep (died)) down with Him from Heaven. John states in Rev 19:11-16 that Christ will descend from Heaven on a white horse along with His armies dressed in white robes and also on white horses.
The "asleep" or dead as seen in Revelation 6 (the martyrs given white robes to wear as I suspect also those John sees in Rev 7 from every tribe, etc) are spirits of the dead yet to be reunited with their bodies. Paul then states that the dead will be resurrected first and those left alive will be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air (as His entourage to escort Him as He comes down to the earth...similar to when the people came out to greet Jesus when He came to Jerusalem the 1st time riding on a donkey.)
So it is in the air (between Heaven and earth, since we are both from the earth and also of Heaven) that our spirits and our bodies will become one again. It seems then that it is on our way down (riding those white horses) that we are embodied once more and once we hit the earth we go to war (Jude 14-15)...an invincible army that death no longer has a claim.
This resurrection then happens on THE LAST DAY according to Jesus (John 6:39-40) and begins The Day of the Lord. (At least that's what I think, but I could be wrong though...) :)
***Here is a breakdown of the language used in Matthew 24:29-31 that is actually used and explained in the following Old Testament scriptures:
* Tribulation of those days: The time of Jacob's troubles (Jeremiah 30)
* Sun, moon, cosmos: (Joel 2 + 3 + others re: Day of the Lord)
* Powers of the Heavens: (Eph 6:12)12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Col 1:16For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through him and for him.
* Sign of the Son of Man: The pillar of smoke and fire as in the OT.. (see Isaiah 66:19, Isaiah 4;1-6, Isaiah 11:11-16)
* All tribes of earth will mourn: (Habakkuk 3:3-7, Rev 6:12-17)
* Son of Man on the clouds of heaven: (see Daniel 7:13-14)
* Send out His Angels: (Angels=messengers) (see Isaiah 66:19,20)
* Loud Trumpet: (Joel 2:1-11)
* Gather His elect: (Isaiah 66:19-20, Deut 30:4-8, Zech 2:6-13, Isaiah 11:11-16)
* Four winds of heaven: (see Deut 30:4-8, Zech 2:6-13, Neh 1:8-9)

Im still not sure you know where your rapture verse is.
i see your mouth moving but no biblical proof.
That flannel is gangster...
I have a question. I know as the Scriptures say, "all who live Godly in Christ Jesus, will suffer tribulation". But, I live in a very rural area in a "rural" state in the US. And though there are secular people, a large part of my region are followers of Jesus or live based on Christian values. For instance, I've never even known a Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, etc. So I've not suffered persecution from others. And I always get this sinking feeling that I'm not giving glory to the Lord through suffering persecution in His name. Like, since I haven't been "tested" in this way, the Lord God doesn't want me. And I pray the Lord forgive me for this question, and having these feelings. I'm not begging for and seeking persecution. I just wonder if I pass away without having ever been persecuted, will the Lord hold it against me?
Just because you are not experiencing persecution now doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Also “Christian values” does NOT mean born again believer. I bet those ones would be the first to turn you into the antichrist
Are you saying we can lose our salvation?
Just a question and to make this one small point Joel. Firstly, what translation are you reading from, particularly when you cite Rev 6:15-17? My NKJV in verse 16 as you quoted says, "...from the wrath of the Lamb!" Then verse 17 says "For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?" Whichever translation you quoted from says "...their wrath has come,..." Now this might seem like some petty discrepancy but it is NOT! That is because there are two separate and distinct components of the wrath. Firstly, the wrath of the Lamb as referenced above, which essentially is comprised of the trumpet judgements, culminating with the 7th (the last) trumpet at which time we see the rewarding of the saints and prophets, their resurrection (the first resurrection/the rapture) as stated in Rev 11:18! But notice that Rev 15:1 states firstly "Then I (John) saw...seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God (the Father) is complete. The presence of the adverb 'Then' beginning this sentence denotes a chronological sequence specifying that the event described occurs sequentially after the events which precede it. Namely the seven trumpet judgements which roughly comprise the wrath of the Lamb. (I don't want to get bogged down in the explaining the detail of how the 7th seal comprises the trumpets and how the 7th trumpet comprised the bowls here; I'm confident that you understand this) Then come the 7 last plagues of the Father comprised of the 7 bowls! Notice verse 2 says "And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass,..." obviously these are they of the first resurrection! Those whom endured until the end! (remember what Jesus said about yhose days being shortened?) But this is not yet the end of temporal events upon the earth! Looking now to verse 5 we read "After these things I looked, ...", here the descriptor 'after' once again denotes a chronological sequence of events with those described occurring later than those preceding them, namely the trumpet judgements of the wrath of the Lamb! Notice the difference? The former being the wrath of the Lamb, the latter the wrath of the Father! It is this final wrath, that of the bowls of the Father's wrath, to which the saints are not appointed. As described in verse 2 they clearly are not upon the earth! Unless you can direct me to that sea of glass mingled with with fire somewhere, that would make some tourist destination! This is logical and sensible and derives simply from a careful reading of the text! The trumpets are the Lamb's wrath, the first resurrection occurs at the 7th trumpet, the saints meet Jesus in the air to then always be with Jesus, I suggest that then simulateously occur the heavenly marriage supper of the Lamb to His bride the saints, whist upon earth the Father's wrath gets poured out. Notice in Rev 19 where is described in verses 6-8 the wedding feast. Now turning to verse 11 & 14-15 we have described the second coming of Christ with the saints returning from heaven to the earth! This happens when the 7th bowl is poured out 16:17! That's what the loud voice from the heavenly temple saying "It is done!" means Joel. Unless of course, that is, if your Bible translation says "...their wrath..." in 6:17 as yours does, in which case all this clarity gets muddied up. (yeah, that's an allusion)
Have you never seen people use paragraphs?
I hold a pre-wrath and post tribulation view. There is internal conflict between the two views that need resolution. Joel makes a distinction between the temporal wrath and the final eternal wrath of God in delivering us from the wrath to come. This allows the saints, now immortalized at the 7th trumpet, to remain on earth with Jesus as the wrath is poured out in the 7 bowls. There is only one descent of Jesus to meet the saints on his way to earth. The saints do not go up before the throne of God. Now you bring out that this conflicts with the vision of the saints before God before the bowls are poured out. Joel does not resolve this conflict. You resolve it by making a distinction between the wrath of the Lamb, the 7 trumpets, and the wrath of Father God, the 7 bowls. I have a different solution. First I do not see any distinction between the wrath of the Lamb and God. The 7 trumpets are precursors announcing the coming Day of the Lord`s wrath. When the 6th seal is opened and the heavens split to see the throne and the coming great day of their wrath, the winds of wrath are held back and delayed until the sealing of the saints. The logical outcome of the sealing is envisioned in the saints before the throne. It is a prefiguring of what occurs after the 7th seal and at the 7th trumpet. Second, the time distinction between the bowls as the last of God`s wrath and the wrath that proceeded it point not to the 7 trumpets but to the grapes of wrath harvest trampled in the winepress after the 7th trumpet. Now I agree with you that the saints destiny is to be delivered from the temporal wrath to come at the Day of the Lord and be raptured to the throne of God. But I also agree with Joel that there is only one descent of Christ at his coming. Pre-wrath sees two descents, one at the rapture and the other with Christ return on the white horse. Now my solution is that at the sign of his coming when every eye sees him as the heavens are split, the saints ascend to meet the Lord, seated on the clouds of heaven. The sign remains for an extended time to allow for the trampling of the winepress and the bowls of wrath until Christ descends with the saints to mop up the final battle. The sign of his coming connects the time lapse between the ascent of the saints to meet Christ on the clouds of heaven and the descent with Christ on the white horse.
