Sorry to say, you are speaking of yourself. You are a false prophet leading your flock astray. You break Sabbath. Keep no Feast Days and substitute them for Pagan traditions while making up lies to why it is okay. You will be so confused when you hear the WORDS of the Master, "I never knew you." You teach lawlessness and are disobedient to THE VOICE. I'd love to show you Truth, but I believe your arrogance and pride will keep you from listening.
I have been a Born Again Bible Believer for 54 years. My son Adam Timothy Trosclair is our Pastor at KING JAMES BIBLE 📖 BAPTIST CHURCH in Covington, Louisiana. Looking for our "Blessed Hope" in our Lord Jesus Christ's Holy Mighty Matchless Name,Amen
I agree! Too many today trying to impose public prayer! (Matthew 6:5-8) too many people saying the pledge of Alligence (Matthew 5:33-37) too many people defending themselves (Matthew 5:39) too many people marrying divorced women (Matthew 5:32) and too many men wearing hats in church! (1 Corinthians 11:7) IT'S NOT BIBLICAL!
Yep. Just like Paul described it would be in 2 Thess 2 and in the book of Timothy. Jude says those false teachers sit and dine with us as foxes in sheeps clothing. Waterless clouds. I’m looking up! Our delivered from the coming wrath is on his way! 1 Thessalonians 1:10 🎺
Many are being baptized Muslims are converting, people in Communist countries, where no religion is allowed. God is changing lives. My Son-in-law from England, typical easy going Brit. Sweet, smart, Great Hubby and Father. From a family of non-believers and a few Catholics in name only. Just got baptized about 3 weeks ago. He is raising my 3 grandbabies. So grateful to God. Pray Revival can happen world wide and within your family. Thank you Jesus.❤
@@pennythpmas5787 , I don't think the Bible talks about Revival prior to rapture but it does talk about apostasy, however I guess you could pray for a gigantic gleaning of the remnant especially your neighbor family and friends.
Wow 😲 .. this is what I've been thinking.. is anyone left...... Come back Jesus.. we need you... Thank you for this opportunity. God bless us all 🙏🏼✝️ amen 🙌
Rapture is a misreading of Matt 24:37-40. Evangelicals don't read scripture contextually so they ignore context here. the Trib happened when Rome destroyed Jerusalem in 70Ad. It was a 3.5 year period under Nero as the "man of sin and lawlessness". Nero was the Beast. The Mark of the Beast was allegiance to Ceasar. Right hand and forehead is a Deuteronomy 6:8 term. The whore of Babylon was the Sanhedrin in cahoots with Rome. All OT reference to New heavens and new earth and new Israel/Judah/Jerusalem was talking about the new Church age and Church its self. Romans 11 shows us how salvation left the jews due to their rejection and came to the world. the gentile world is the branch grafted in. The only thing ahead is a global revival of most of the planet coming to Christ as one church body in faith in Christ alone before the end. Habakkuk 2:14, Isaiah 101:9. Its a wheat field, not a tear field. Then the final second coming and judgment.
Have you seen car crashes were people were missing from there cars? Plane crashed with missing pilot's? Family members missing. No, rapture has not happened.
I am born again and i believe every word of the Bible. Thank you Jesus for everything you’ve done from the cross to saving my wretched soul turning me from sinner to saint
Looking back 41 years ago, when I was just eleven years old, I realize now that my faith in God was pure and innocent. Despite not fully understanding Him and without questioning the details, I trusted Him wholeheartedly.
Wow that's just the way I feel...I'm 63 and don't understand what went wrong and how so many "MANY" have corrupted the purity and simplicity of what I remember... God is God I am part of God I want to and do truly love God and want to do Good and be good..now everything is so different so many names for God and new things added to God and the word.. again I saw your post and it hits home... God is still the same as we remember
I feel the same way, I think back all the time about my childhood and how I knew and trusted in God back then even though I didn’t under it all yet. When I think about this I pray and tell God thank you for blessing me with parents and family who are all Christians who took my brother and I to church and taught us about the lord. I’m so thankful because I cant imagine how hard it must be for those who are struggling with life right now and do not know or love Jesus, yet.
Luke 18:17 “Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Amen, help us Lord to follow you wholeheartedly
@@krystalwatts9675that sounds like me. My parents didn’t go to church when I was little. A church bus would come and take kids to church. That’s how I took my little 5 year old self. I had rapture dreams at that age, not even knowing what that was. As I got older, I’d get ready for school in the morning (4-5th grade) and I’d watch The Praise the Lord (PTL) show instead of cartoons. lol I’m telling my age but that was the show with Jim and Tammy Baker. They later changed the name to the Jim Baker show and I was disgusted. They were raising him up instead of God.Then he had a big fall from grace. I marvel at how the Holy Spirit gave me discernment at 11 yrs old 😳. I can’t remember a day that I didn’t love Jesus. It’s been 55 years and I’m excited that He may come for us soon and get us out this increasingly evil world!! I’ll see you at the Lords supper . ❤
Nooooo, if I'm still here we haven't gone yet. Total faith in God dying for my sins and coming back 3 days later, Thank You Jesus for your loving Grace and I'm keeping the Faith we're going soon! Hallelujah! So ready to go! 🙌🎺🕊️
I wanna believe that too. But I worry because if we so much as have a little anger in our hearts or unforgiveness, will he still leave us here to resolve our issues or continue working on us in Heaven. I try to release it all or give it to God, but sometimes it just sneaks up on you.
@@moni6058 God would say, oh ye of little faith. We are all works in progress, we have all sinned, probably every day. He paid for each and every one of those sins on the cross, that's it. If we were perfect He wouldn't have needed to die on the cross. It's not about what you do it's about what He did. He loves you so much, he's not going to leave you behind, He died for you. And through faith and Grace we are saved, not by our works. Even when we have little faith He has big faith. I do understand what you're saying, that is the evil one getting in your head, when he tries to get in my head I rebuke it in Jesus Name. It's the simple message of His saving grace, don't make it about what you do when it's all about Him and what He did. Ps. If it makes you feel any better I get frustrated at this point almost everyday because of all the attacks, the warfare is intense. I complain too that he hasn't taken us yet, the Jews walked around for forty years because they were complaining, but that was also before He died for our sins. You will go, keep your relationship with Him, that's it, the simple truth. Love you, see you in the clouds ❤️🤗🙌🎺🕊️
Colossians 2:10-13 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
@@moni6058Keep trying to do better. It doesn't mean you are not saved. We are still battling our flesh while we are still in it. We must keep striving! Jesus loves you.❤
Some days i really feel that. Nobody seems to want to discuss scripture, doctrine, feels that even though scripture speaks against remarriage while your ex is still alive they are waiting for God to give them a new wife. It's very discouraging, but God has it in hand.
Me my self have went through a divorce I am a Christian I didn't ask God was this person who I should marry I did it My way I made a big mistake We are not robots God let's us make our choice God tell us as Christian not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers I was married then I became a Christian I went through hell my husband was a alcoholic I dealt with domestic violence with him I chose not to leave him God didn't tell me to stay nor told me to leave it was my choice after 23 years he became a Christian he went to be with Jesus Christ 3 years later I waited 9 years and got into a relationship with a narcissist I realized now I didn't love my self this marriage lasted 5 years I didn't seek God I made the mistake on my own I needed to be healed of physical and mental abuse after divorce got into another narcissist relationship look like I would have learned from my other mistake God for gave me then I had to forgive my self I am not a victim because I chose to move on I now with Jesus Christ help I am in the healing process sign Smith Jesus Christ is real people I never would have made it with out his help
the bible is clear The antichrist comes first and a great fallen away Plus when Christians are being exterminated then jesus is literally at the door 👍🏻 You are freaking out over nothing
Believe in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, our Good Shepherd before it's too late for us, repentance is key for all of us because we all fall short of the glory of God❤️, Amen
The problem is most people don't want to hear the truth because they might have to change their live style or they are convicted and instead of changing their ways they complain about that person
I agree! Too many today trying to impose public prayer! (Matthew 6:5-8) too many people saying the pledge of Alligence (Matthew 5:33-37) too many people defending themselves (Matthew 5:39) too many people marrying divorced women (Matthew 5:32) and too many men wearing hats in church! (1 Corinthians 11:7) IT'S NOT BIBLICAL!
The remnant is here and we are doing our best to hold it together. We are the light of the world. Mark, you are rare, that’s what you are. Don’t change for anyone! God bless you and keep you always, in Jesus name ❤
So very true. When I tell people it’s not about religion but about a relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and that we need to repent from our evil ways and turn to Christ, because He died for our sins, paying our sin debt in full and He rose from the grave, conquering death and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. People are like, wait, what… Just seek Jesus! He’s all that matters.
◄ 1 Thessalonians 4:17 ► NIV 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
You should read also the verses before, especially verse 16. Then it's clear Paul speaks in 1. Thessalonians 4: 13 - 18 of the Day of Judgement or the day when Jesus Christ comes back with power and glory visible for all around the whole world as judge over all humans and the world, not of an event like the rapture.
I can’t find a church anywhere that teaches about end to mess and the book of Revelation. I go sometimes now to church just for the praises and togetherness. I get my real deep teaching from pastors like this on line. Thank God there a many .
@monicarinaldi9979 / i just did a very in depth study on the Book of Revelation and a handful of prophecies fulfilled, if you’re interested. I’m a new channel, so I don’t have many followers yet, but I hope to discuss the Millennium next. I agree with you, by the way. Too many feel good messages, not enough truth 😢
My family is so blessed to have a pastor that feels this way ❤️ my church is sandwiched between two churches with "inclusive" flags out front, they are everywhere.
I feel just the opposite. I’m closer to Jesus when I don’t watch those people in church walk out and start the sin of gossip even before they get in the car. My Bible and I do just fine.
@@hikerhobby1204 Totally agree. Too many want a social club and really don't want the 'inconvenience' of taking up their cross and walking with Christ!
@@stephenhagen234 Thank you! I often wonder if it’s me? I thought when we gave our life to Jesus we were to under go “sanctification.” It frustrates me to listen to them. Then again, I don’t do well with hypocrites.
@@hikerhobby1204 Light has NO fellowship with darkness. The last church I went to most lived in the wealthy part of the county, drove expensive newer cars, wore expensive clothes, and on and on. And they make sure that you knew those things are important to them. That is not what God has called us to. God has very serious intent toward conforming us into the image of Christ. Make no mistake about it, if you mean business with the Lord and seek Him like your life depended upon Him (and it does) He will bring you closer to Himself than the others just going thru the motions. That's what He wants with you. A serious love relationship that glorifies Him!
@@hikerhobby1204 Cultivate your worship of Him. "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise" ~Psalm 100:4 Start thanking Him for the many, many, wonderful things He has done for you and provided for you. Tell Him you love Him. Sing worship songs to Him. (Michael W. Smith "WORSHIP FOREVER" released in 2021 is on UA-cam) It is another realm of experiencing the Presence of God.
I am in the most Wonderful church. Pastor, board members, congregation are some of the most warmest people. In Sunday school it’s sometimes an open forum to get other people involved on the service topic ❤.
An experiment. - do we READ what we see or read into what we were told? Daniel 7:13-14 ESV "I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. [14] And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. Who is the son of man? Who is the ancient of days? Which direction is the son of man traveling? What event is this???
I'm waiting too. Could be months or years. But the deeper into it we are, the more confident Christ is that much closer and there is no other alternative to what the Bible says. Christ is Lord.
@kimmiesplace7458 / LOL! That’s funny 😂 I know I’m forgiven and that I’m saved, but I can’t help to feel like, “Am I really deserving?” None of us are, truthfully! That experience is going to be so scary for those that are left behind 😢
The church is in division because they don't see the ranks of the resurrection. There is a pretrib rapture but not all those that believe in pretrib will go in pretrib.The Philadelphian saints are the church of BROTHERLY LOVE. The bride wants all saints to be harvested with the barley company at pretrib. The bulk of the church will reject the bridal calling. Believers will go to heaven when they are ready to be harvested. The crop must be ready before it can be harvested. Barley and wheat are both grain companies that are both planted at the same time, in the autumn. Barley matures faster than wheat and is harvested in the spring. BARLEY IS THE BRIDE, and she leaves at pretrib. Wheat is harvested in the summer. Wheat is the great multitude church gathered in Rev 7..... THE VIRGINS WITHOUT NUMBER AKA THE INNUMERABLE COMPANY! The final company, caught up at midtrib, before the open door is shut, are the grapes that are gathered at midtrib. The grapes are the 144,000 Jews. The Jews finally believe Christ is their king because they gleaned the truth from the Barley and wheat companies. If there is a LAST TRUMP, there is a FIRST TRUMP. If there is a high calling, there is a lesser calling. The bridal remnant will be a joint heir as husband and wife. The bulk of the church will be only heirs as children. The barley bride is taken up in Rev 4 at pretrib, where he tells John, "COME UP HERE!". This is a very small remnant of the church that leaves at pretrib. All christians are called for this HIGH AND HEAVENLY CALLING, but few will be chosen. The bulk of the church is in a DEEP SLEEP like Adam. While Adam ( the church) slept, God was forming a bride from a rib ((TAKEN OUT OF)) Adam. This is a rib portion, a very small remnant that makes up this bridal company. The bulk of the church has spots and wrinkles in their robes that will be cleaned in the first part of the tribulation period. How do they have wrinkles in their robes? They are in a deep sleep! When you're lying down in these robes, they get wrinkled. They have spots because of false doctrines. There is a pretrib rapture, and the bulk of the church, like yourself, will reject the truth. The Lord will use this bridal remnant to speak in these last days. This remnant will be a mouthpiece unto God. She will be rejected by the church and the world before she departs. Hebrews 12:25 [25]See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Isaiah 1:9 [9]Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. The truth will get many angry. It will be a stark contrast of things you learned your entire life! The verse about John being caught up at pretrib is only one verse, brother. The Lord has it beautifully woven from the Old to the New Testament. We will go to heaven by ranks, just as Paul said. 1 Corinthians 15:23 [23]But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. ORDER MEANS RANKS. ●●●There are 3 stories on Noah's ark for the 3 companies escaping through the open door by rank and order. Go read it! The world taught us, as a child, that the ark was loaded by 2's. The truth is they first loaded by 7's then by 2's!!! Genesis 7:2 [2]Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. ●●● When Peter had the vision of the fitted sheet with all manner of beasts inside. These are saints from the 4 corners of the earth of every nation and tongue. He saw this sheet come down THRICE....3 TIMES FOR 3 COMPANIES OF BELIEVERS!! ●●● 3 companies of people will be caught up by ranks before the middle of the week....BARLEY, WHEAT, AND GRAPES. The barley company is the ONLY COMPANY that is harvested by WINNOWING. All the remaining companies need a threshing floor of tribulation to do a finishing work before they are caught up. The wheat is CRUSHED by the tribullum board, grapes are TREAD, and olives are PRESSED on the threshing floor of tribulation. ●●● There will be 3 companies of light. He is the LIGHT, and as we take in his Word, we become light. The more we consume, the brighter we become. We decrease, and he increases! The 3 light companies are Sun glory saints, moon glory saints, and star glory saints. Those bridal sun glory saints SHINE WHILE IT IS STILL DAYTIME! Do I need to ask you when the moon and stars shine?!? The moon and star glory saints shine during the night season of tribulation. There is so much more. This is only a glimpse of what is in the Word regarding a 3 part harvest.
Jesus Christ is coming soon guys, seek him while he may still be found he loves you and does not want any of us to perish He died on the cross of Calvary for us, was buried and Rose on the third day❤ John 3:16 For God loved the world in this way:[a] He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
@@eduardoordonez241 I know to Whom I belong; where I am and where I’m going. My faith is not in some pastor that tickles the ears of the lost. If you believe this guy, that says a lot about your own faith.

EDIT: Thanks for the comments! God Bless Us All. I digress; It's terrifying to be lost, but I've been confirmed by my Father's words, through the blood of his son, Jesus Christ; Fear not!!!! ISAIAH 41:10 - It's like a nice warm blanket on the coldest night 🙏 When I was a kid my mother would tell us about the rapture and despite what that meant it sounded scary. Now as an adult it's even scarier thinking about missing the rapture and being left behind. It would obviously indicate that I wasn't saved but thinking I was. It's terrifying actually.
@@christieheyblombut it's real. My highschool friend also tell me about the rapture and I got the anxiety. When I pass highschool I'm feel more better.
Many believe they know the lord but many of them will be saddened at the end when the lord says depart from me for I know ye not. The world is in great deception right now and each and every one of us needs to have a close personal experience with the only person who ever truly cares for us enough to die. I pray you all have this experience
Rapture is a misreading of Matt 24:37-40. Evangelicals don't read scripture contextually so they ignore context here. the Trib happened when Rome destroyed Jerusalem in 70Ad. It was a 3.5 year period under Nero as the "man of sin and lawlessness". Nero was the Beast. The Mark of the Beast was allegiance to Ceasar. Right hand and forehead is a Deuteronomy 6:8 term. The whore of Babylon was the Sanhedrin in cahoots with Rome. All OT reference to New heavens and new earth and new Israel/Judah/Jerusalem was talking about the new Church age and Church its self. Romans 11 shows us how salvation left the jews due to their rejection and came to the world. the gentile world is the branch grafted in. The only thing ahead is a global revival of most of the planet coming to Christ as one church body in faith in Christ alone before the end. Habakkuk 2:14, Isaiah 101:9. Its a wheat field, not a tear field. Then the final second coming and judgment.

@HillbillyBlack that's the event we are waiting for. Now is the time to spend time with God.i need to walk with him daily.spend time in the word daily.
@@cd0130 there’s plenty of end Times passages in scripture related to the second coming but Daniel isn’t one of them. If you read it exegetically it does not read like an end times event. The only way you can get that is if you forced other passages in scripture or current events into the text. Which is an eisegetical nightmare on its own. "I saw in the night visions, and behold, WITH THE CLOUDS of heaven there CAME one like a son of man, - on or with the clouds of heaven comes the son of man. and he CAME TO the “Ancient of Days” - The ancient of days is the designation of Yahweh. Just as the son of man is the definition of Jesus. and was PRESENTED before HIM. - So the son of man is presented before the ancient of days. This is an up arrow not a down arrow. Jesus is ascending into heaven on the clouds of heaven being presented before God. [14] And TO HIM was GIVEN dominion and glory and a kingdom, And to him, the Son of Man, is given dominion and glory and a Kingdom So if you read this carefully, nowhere is anything referencing the end of time other than the term “ancient of days” which is an old testament terminology for Yahweh. Yahweh is presenting Yeshua the kingdom. Notice time frame context in Mark 1:15 ESV and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel." The kingdom is here already. What you are waiting for is past tense. You are in it now
The rapture will happen but not yet first the anti Christ has to show up bring in the mark of 666 after the 6 th trumpet war then AC will reveal himself then rapture. Revelation 20 4--5
He abandoned his church. He is steeped in pride and arrogance, and he draws attention to himself, not to Christ. Real men of God don’t abandon their families and run away from their problems. Please be careful who you listen to🙏
Hmmm saw some quotes saying '... one will be taken and the other remain' (paraphrased), and it was the evil one taken and the good one that remained. Remember, the false Messiah (AntiChrist) will come first. If the AntiChrist has not come, and you hear the Christ has returned, understand that is NOT Jesus. Read ALL of the bible without cherry picking. If one quotes something go and read before the quote, the quote, then after to be certain it is not out of context. Jesus said 'My sheep know my voice' He has told us we will know Him. Be sure you are one of His "sheep".
The wheat an tares explain it very well,along with a good understanding of Matthew 24. I don't understand why people think we won't be here when the anti Christ is revealed.
Thank God I'm not alone..I've known this for years .the rapture is the biggest lie the devil has decieved many through false teachers..there are many ways, different scriptures explaining his return .he's coming back in and through his remnant..col:1:27 Christ in you the hope of GLORY..we are the body of Christ,he is the head of the body .his kingdom come his will be done on earth as it is in heaven..the kingdom of heaven is within us .Jesus said it .
And here's one that knows something folks. We're few and far between. I don't see why these people don't understand. My Bible says MANY will be deceived. 90% of Christians believe in rapture 10% don't. Mmmmm..... I'm in the 10%. Show me the word rapture in an approved Bible. What's that? Can't do it... Wake up folks! And before you quote me 1 Thessalonians 4:16 why don't you read 2 Thessalonians 2. Jesus WILL come back but you better know how and in what order.
I felt this so hard, Lord please help your children to see it's better with you and to come for us quickly. I just want to be in your presence Lord. This world has become so dark, and we miss you.
Uh… that’s not The Word he’s spreading. Study for yourself and show thy self approved. He won’t be standing at the judgement seat with you. You’re on your own.
Christians will NOT go thru the tribulation marked with Gods wrath to destroy the wicked ones. In this life all ppl will have tribulation..but we will be removed before the great tribulation starts.
Finally more people who know we have to be in the tribulation. No wrath unless we drink from the cup of his wrath. Than if course you never believed Christ in the first place.😊
@@suepooh3822 Yes. They will. In fact, the revealing of the identity of the beast is the beginning of the tribulation. That is why Jesus told His followers to flee for the mountains when they see that event take place. Matthew 24:15-16 The description of the abomination of desolation is in 2 Thessalonians 2:4. I know folks think that they are special. But, all those Christianese slogans like, "God's not gonna beat up his bride" are not based on the Bible. Tribulation is not YHVH's wrath. It is the beast persecuting the world. When it's over, YHVH's wrath is poured out on the beast and his followers.
@@the_jeremiah_16_19_project the beast is persecuting the world NOW. Wen it says flee to the mountains its talking of the ones left behind...the trubulation saints and the jews will flee to Petra
What if we stand across the street of a church that we feel is not teaching what they should be, and hold a sign to those going in or out for their service asking them things like "Why isn't your Pastor teaching you about the Rapture?". Rather than be keyboard activists let's get up and do something! I have a sign on my passenger side rear window for everyone to see while I'm driving or parked anywhere. Seriously, PLEASE, LETS DO SOMETHING. 🙏
For being uploaded on April 30, 2023, this short is extremely prophetic in several ways, especially considering what Mark Driscoll is going through right now...
Well, having the entire weight of the Assembly of God denomination going after him for calling out that circus act is going to feel like his own, personal "tribulation." I pray that he draws closer to God in this troubling time.
So far, publicly (at the event,) he made his 'observation' in a seemingly calm way. In the public conversation afterwards, he maintained a loving attitude, while still not recanting what he'd said, even though it looked like Lindell was holding him hostage. Now that several bigwigs are attacking his character from the pulpit, I hope Mark Driscoll refrains from retaliation, remains calm, and trusts the Lord to vindicate him. That alone would prove to me that Driscoll spoke at that conference out of obedience to God, and nothing else.
Please point out the scripture that says "Rapture" in any translation? Not the made up by John Darby scriptures either. Not the ones "they"say means the rapture either. Rapture doesn't even mean how it's used in that false doctrine. 2 Corinthians 15:50-52 Specifically says at the last trumpet,the dead in Christ will raise and all left alive will be called up. Left alive from tribulation are the alive and dead in Christ is all believers who have passed away, including the martyrs. Which the martyrs are in between the 5th and 6th seal and trumpet .... would have to have been the abomination of desolation by then. 7 trumpets are referenced in Rev. 8 or 9 when they are issued to the angels. Revelation 22:19 whosoever adds or takes away a single word from this prophecy writes their name out of the book of life! No word "Rapture" in any translation, Enough said. There's no rapture, only a first resurrection. It's a false doctrine created by John Darby in 1830. Just look up the history of rapture doctrine. It wasn't even a subject of conversation before 175 years ago.
@@MathiasVIKING0403 Sorry but you're echoing a lie. Darby DID NOT invent the rapture as you claim, in fact it's been disproven time and time again that the belief in the rapture was modern. The earliest writings of the rapture go to before Christ and can be found in the Dead Sea Scrolls!! We also have other writings as far back to 100 A.D. ( research Irenaeus of Lyon 120A.D.-200A.D just for starters). It's amazing what a quick search with Google can bring up without any effort what so ever!
@MathiasVIKING0403 I agree with most of what you said except it's NOT just the First Ressurection (which debunks pretrib, because it is the FIRST ressurection after the First Fruits Ressurection of Christ). But at the time of the 6th seal you have the First Ressurection of the Tribulation Saints ( the multitude). But you also have the First Fruits Redemption of the 144,000 (voice of many waters) who are alive and remain. They will remain and go through the wrath being protected by God. When Christ returns after the wrath He comes with His ressurectsd Saints (tribulation saints). He doesn't come with the 144,000 also because they are still here. During the 1000 year reign of Christ there will be the 144,000 and the Tribulation Saints with Christ.
@@assaultbravo14 if their protected,they are not experiencing the "wrath" . ,God judges all mankind at once. Just like the flood. Revelation 20 explicitly says this. Those in the first resurrection don't experience the second death. This implies one judgment.
@@assaultbravo14 my real problem with all this( Rapture) nonsense is that most just go along with whatever some preacher says without ever checking to see what the Bible says for themselves. That means they are learning from a person who didn't validate the doctrine their teaching either. And the cycle of Satan's influence just keeps gaining momentum.
We must be born again. You are born again when the Holy Spirit in you don’t let you sin anymore. When you still sin you are not born again. 1 John 2, 1 John 3, Romans 6:6, Romans 8, Gal 5, Eph 4 , Eph 5 and Titus 2:14! To become born again you have to repent and ask Jesus forgiveness for your sins or ask Jesus in your heart
You can't miss the Rapture. There isn't one-only the Day of the Lord. Christ ends the Tribulation at his second coming, "Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit, or a message, or a letter as if from us to the effect that the day of the Lord has come." (Thes.)
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
@@Chuck-- Right. What's your point? Looks like we are closing in on the Day of the Lord. I see signs of the apostacy. Has the son of Perdition been revealed?
I totally believe the word. I see evil is so out of control. I trust Jesus Christ is in control. I can't wait to see Jesus drop kick the devil into the pit. ❤
I very much appreciate your spiritual spine and having the fear of the Lord to stand for His truth rather than succumb to the pressure and praise of men. Stand strong and finish strong sir.
Amen! Especially the part about “the board”, aka Deacons, who won’t deal with obvious false teaching going on under their noses. Either they don’t see it as false, or else the teacher is a “good-ole-boy” who they refuse to confront.
Somedays I feel that heavily. We are spread out so far and wide these days. How else can the message get spread to the ends of the world. I know it's a lonely road of faith sometimes but Jesus said He would never leave us nor forsake us.
Thank you Pastor Mark, you are a man of God!! I was a Jezebel spirit for many many years and because I listened to what you said and what you have been saying my heart was totally convicted and I have repented and seek the lord in all things because someone who had a Jezebel spirit well that does not go away in one day!! Everything you said about a Jezebel spirit that was me, so I work daily to unlearn that behavior!! My mother is a high priest of a witch coven and a lesbian, I was married to a good Christian man and I left him and started a 15-year relationship with a woman, and my daughter is in a relationship "married" with a woman for about 16 years now. I know you must be a very very busy man but if you could pray against that
Have to just keep my eyes upon Him and not get sidetracked by all the evil and distractions. He is able to keep me to the very end and has promised to never fail me or forsake me.
It’s so crazy, when I was a child I would go with my great grandmother Jean Marie and everybody like meant what the gospel said, and I was a kid of course and I made my mistakes and I find myself back at the feet of The Shepherd. My growth in faith of course was a slow burn, we lost her presence on this earth when I was young but now as I am grown not only in stature but in faith I look around and I see the world is the opposite as the one that she raised me in. I am scared for all of my brothers and sisters. There is only one way into The Kingdom of God. 🗣️❤️
This is a mark of the end time church , there is a great following away of the true faith. I Thank God for you Pastor Driscoll, and for the sound doctrine you teach. 👍🏽
He’s coming to return to the Earth. There is no rapture. There’s not one Bible verse that says there is a rapture. The only rapture that happens is the one that happens the second the Lord returns to reign on earth. The rapture in the coming of Jesus are the same as the scripture say.
Really you and my pastor Phil Hooper at Abundant LIFE lees summit Mo are the only 2 pastors that I think goes strictly by the Bible and doesn’t cave in to all the nonsense in the world and in the modern church! Thankful for you both .
I have looked around a time or two. Pray across America for this coming election, our leaders, our countries and each other. One or more gathered together and he will here our cries.
Ah, what a grace-filled, life-giving message. Most people are terrible Christians, if at all, and we’re the better ones who actually care about God and His purposes. Thank God there are churches like yours who heave condemnation at the “others” in your world. One thing the church hasn’t done well enough throughout history is condemn and take the moral high ground. And it’s so refreshing and healthy to see a pastor call out his peers and call them apostates. I really like that whole concept of not throwing stones when you’re living in a glass house.
I feel like we are ALL losing and slapping our Lord in the face. I look across the land and I feel terrible for our God. Nothing about our modern lives glorifies him.. I just hope these demons in the church will be cast into the abyss
Jesus Christ is the way and the truth.Saved me from alcoholism after 16 years in darkness and drunkeness.I feel we will soon be in rapture.The pawns are falling into place in middle east around Israel.
Man you're spot on, no we haven't missed it, everyone arguing over when it is will only destroy peoples faith especially those who are new in the faith,, God will hold those accountable for it
A lot of us are deconstructing from debilitating, condemning beliefs. It’s the love of God that draws people to repentance, not condemnation and retribution - no one steps into living as a son of God because they’re afraid of going to hell. All the years I felt like I was on God’s shit list I was at my worst - I was afraid to try to move on and live my best life following God’s plan for my life because I was still expecting God to judge me for everything I did wrong and thought I couldn’t move on until after the judgment was over. Fast forward to today, I unlearned sin-consciousness, and hell-consciousness, and have learned to let go of the past and stop thinking about God‘s judgment and realize instead that God‘s judgment is that I am a son and I am loved and there’s nothing wrong with me and never was. The self-destructive habits and lifestyle are far behind me as a result. So it turns out people aren’t leaving the Faith, they’re just leaving your brand of controlling institutional religion.
Im a college student, I feel exactly the same way but do not believe we have missed the rapture (yet) and I’ll explain why in a second. But first one psalm that i really resonate with, psalm 12: “Save o lord, for the godly one is gone; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man. Everyone utters lies to his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.” Psalm 12: 1-2 (ESV) I feel as though there are no faithful people left, especially in my generation. I feel like everyone is mad in their own pursuit of pleasure, mirth, and them self. I feel like everyone is constantly muttering vanities and drama. I feel completely isolated and alone in this culture. I almost can’t stand it, sometimes I foolishly make the remark that I should have been born 50 years earlier. But there’s two facts to this matter. 1) I guarantee you I am not the only one who feels this way. 2) God puts us in certain times for a reason. Here’s why I don’t believe the rapture has happened yet. The first reason is that I feel alone but I know I am not. There are thousands of people that feel the same way which means that not all Godliness is lost. (Of course I could be wrong about this). Second the entire Bible is a circular cycle of God’s people, entire generations of people, rebelling against god, pursuing their own idols and vanities. Deut32, Moses speaks to the increasingly rebellious Israelites a warning of what would happen if they forsake God. Psalm 78: talks about multiple generations of people who forsake God, only to face his wrath and be reminded of his power. “Yet they sinned still more against him” -Psalm 78: 17 (ESV) “They tested God again and again and provoked the holy one of Israel. They did not remember his power” -41-42(ESV) My larger point is, all throughout history we’ve seen this cycle of generations forsaking God and forgetting him only to face his wrath and be reminded. I believe we are in part of the cycle right before we face his wrath. Thirdly we can get a peak at what the rapture will look like in the Bible. I’m sure this probably is not new to Christians reading this but it fits into my argument that I do not believe the rapture has happened yet. “For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of a trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so will we always be with the Lord” -1 Thessalonians 16-17 (ESV) If an event like that would have already taken place, we would for sure know about it. I know that many of us feel like the faithful have completely vanished but the fact that there are many of us who feel that way mean that there are still those of us who are faithful. I hope that we can all find consolation in that fact no matter how alone and isolated we may feel. To anyone reading this, i hope this message finds you well and may God bless you in your faith, and endeavors.

Sorry to say, you are speaking of yourself. You are a false prophet leading your flock astray.
You break Sabbath. Keep no Feast Days and substitute them for Pagan traditions while making up lies to why it is okay.
You will be so confused when you hear the WORDS of the Master, "I never knew you."
You teach lawlessness and are disobedient to THE VOICE.
I'd love to show you Truth, but I believe your arrogance and pride will keep you from listening.

Very few pastors and churches are speaking the truth like this. Apostasy is everywhere.
I agree! Too many today trying to impose public prayer! (Matthew 6:5-8) too many people saying the pledge of Alligence (Matthew 5:33-37) too many people defending themselves (Matthew 5:39) too many people marrying divorced women (Matthew 5:32) and too many men wearing hats in church! (1 Corinthians 11:7) IT'S NOT BIBLICAL!
Yep. Just like Paul described it would be in 2 Thess 2 and in the book of Timothy. Jude says those false teachers sit and dine with us as foxes in sheeps clothing. Waterless clouds.
I’m looking up! Our delivered from the coming wrath is on his way!

Wow 😲 .. this is what I've been thinking.. is anyone left...... Come back Jesus.. we need you... Thank you for this opportunity. God bless us all 🙏🏼✝️ amen 🙌
Rapture is a misreading of Matt 24:37-40. Evangelicals don't read scripture contextually so they ignore context here.
the Trib happened when Rome destroyed Jerusalem in 70Ad. It was a 3.5 year period under Nero as the "man of sin and lawlessness". Nero was the Beast. The Mark of the Beast was allegiance to Ceasar. Right hand and forehead is a Deuteronomy 6:8 term. The whore of Babylon was the Sanhedrin in cahoots with Rome.
All OT reference to New heavens and new earth and new Israel/Judah/Jerusalem was talking about the new Church age and Church its self. Romans 11 shows us how salvation left the jews due to their rejection and came to the world. the gentile world is the branch grafted in.
The only thing ahead is a global revival of most of the planet coming to Christ as one church body in faith in Christ alone before the end. Habakkuk 2:14, Isaiah 101:9. Its a wheat field, not a tear field. Then the final second coming and judgment.

Looking back 41 years ago, when I was just eleven years old, I realize now that my faith in God was pure and innocent. Despite not fully understanding Him and without questioning the details, I trusted Him wholeheartedly.
Wow that's just the way I feel...I'm 63 and don't understand what went wrong and how so many "MANY" have corrupted the purity and simplicity of what I remember... God is God I am part of God I want to and do truly love God and want to do Good and be good..now everything is so different so many names for God and new things added to God and the word.. again I saw your post and it hits home... God is still the same as we remember
The world has and is changing not God
I feel the same way, I think back all the time about my childhood and how I knew and trusted in God back then even though I didn’t under it all yet. When I think about this I pray and tell God thank you for blessing me with parents and family who are all Christians who took my brother and I to church and taught us about the lord. I’m so thankful because I cant imagine how hard it must be for those who are struggling with life right now and do not know or love Jesus, yet.
Luke 18:17 “Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Amen, help us Lord to follow you wholeheartedly
@@krystalwatts9675that sounds like me. My parents didn’t go to church when I was little. A church bus would come and take kids to church. That’s how I took my little 5 year old self. I had rapture dreams at that age, not even knowing what that was. As I got older, I’d get ready for school in the morning (4-5th grade) and I’d watch The Praise the Lord (PTL) show instead of cartoons. lol I’m telling my age but that was the show with Jim and Tammy Baker. They later changed the name to the Jim Baker show and I was disgusted. They were raising him up instead of God.Then he had a big fall from grace. I marvel at how the Holy Spirit gave me discernment at 11 yrs old 😳. I can’t remember a day that I didn’t love Jesus. It’s been 55 years and I’m excited that He may come for us soon and get us out this increasingly evil world!! I’ll see you at the Lords supper . ❤
I believe every word of God 🙏❤️🕊️
I do too!!

Then you probably shouldn't believe in the rapture
Then why do you believe in a rapture??
Because god said its going to happen@@JamesDirette
Nooooo, if I'm still here we haven't gone yet. Total faith in God dying for my sins and coming back 3 days later, Thank You Jesus for your loving Grace and I'm keeping the Faith we're going soon! Hallelujah! So ready to go! 🙌🎺🕊️
I wanna believe that too. But I worry because if we so much as have a little anger in our hearts or unforgiveness, will he still leave us here to resolve our issues or continue working on us in Heaven. I try to release it all or give it to God, but sometimes it just sneaks up on you.
@@moni6058 God would say, oh ye of little faith. We are all works in progress, we have all sinned, probably every day. He paid for each and every one of those sins on the cross, that's it. If we were perfect He wouldn't have needed to die on the cross. It's not about what you do it's about what He did. He loves you so much, he's not going to leave you behind, He died for you. And through faith and Grace we are saved, not by our works. Even when we have little faith He has big faith. I do understand what you're saying, that is the evil one getting in your head, when he tries to get in my head I rebuke it in Jesus Name. It's the simple message of His saving grace, don't make it about what you do when it's all about Him and what He did.
Ps. If it makes you feel any better I get frustrated at this point almost everyday because of all the attacks, the warfare is intense. I complain too that he hasn't taken us yet, the Jews walked around for forty years because they were complaining, but that was also before He died for our sins. You will go, keep your relationship with Him, that's it, the simple truth. Love you, see you in the clouds ❤️🤗🙌🎺🕊️
@@moni6058 btw we heaven, He makes us perfect.
Colossians 2:10-13
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
@@moni6058Keep trying to do better. It doesn't mean you are not saved. We are still battling our flesh while we are still in it. We must keep striving! Jesus loves you.❤
As soon as everyone has had a chance to hear the gospel. Keep putting the message out!
Some days i really feel that. Nobody seems to want to discuss scripture, doctrine, feels that even though scripture speaks against remarriage while your ex is still alive they are waiting for God to give them a new wife. It's very discouraging, but God has it in hand.

So very true.

People are like, wait, what…
Just seek Jesus! He’s all that matters.
I tell people the same thing and they listen.
You’re confusing, fake man-made religion with the real religion that the Bible speaks about in the book of James. Religion isn’t bad.

I can’t find a church anywhere that teaches about end to mess and the book of Revelation. I go sometimes now to church just for the praises and togetherness. I get my real deep teaching from pastors like this on line. Thank God there a many .
@monicarinaldi9979 / i just did a very in depth study on the Book of Revelation and a handful of prophecies fulfilled, if you’re interested. I’m a new channel, so I don’t have many followers yet, but I hope to discuss the Millennium next. I agree with you, by the way. Too many feel good messages, not enough truth 😢
Fewer and fewer, but we are here❤
My family is so blessed to have a pastor that feels this way ❤️ my church is sandwiched between two churches with "inclusive" flags out front, they are everywhere.
Exactly how I feel. Especially on Sunday mornings going to church. People are still sleeping instead of going❤❤ to church.
I feel just the opposite. I’m closer to Jesus when I don’t watch those people in church walk out and start the sin of gossip even before they get in the car. My Bible and I do just fine.

@@hikerhobby1204 Light has NO fellowship with darkness. The last church I went to most lived in the wealthy part of the county, drove expensive newer cars, wore expensive clothes, and on and on. And they make sure that you knew those things are important to them. That is not what God has called us to. God has very serious intent toward conforming us into the image of Christ. Make no mistake about it, if you mean business with the Lord and seek Him like your life depended upon Him (and it does) He will bring you closer to Himself than the others just going thru the motions.
That's what He wants with you. A serious love relationship that glorifies Him!
@@hikerhobby1204 Cultivate your worship of Him. "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise" ~Psalm 100:4
Start thanking Him for the many, many, wonderful things He has done for you and provided for you. Tell Him you love Him. Sing worship songs to Him. (Michael W. Smith "WORSHIP FOREVER" released in 2021 is on UA-cam) It is another realm of experiencing the Presence of God.
I am in the most Wonderful church. Pastor, board members, congregation are some of the most warmest people. In Sunday school it’s sometimes an open forum to get other people involved on the service topic ❤.

It’s not coming bro.

Any believer in the DISPENSATION of grace cannot miss the rapture
The church is in division because they don't see the ranks of the resurrection. There is a pretrib rapture but not all those that believe in pretrib will go in pretrib.The Philadelphian saints are the church of BROTHERLY LOVE. The bride wants all saints to be harvested with the barley company at pretrib. The bulk of the church will reject the bridal calling. Believers will go to heaven when they are ready to be harvested. The crop must be ready before it can be harvested. Barley and wheat are both grain companies that are both planted at the same time, in the autumn. Barley matures faster than wheat and is harvested in the spring. BARLEY IS THE BRIDE, and she leaves at pretrib. Wheat is harvested in the summer. Wheat is the great multitude church gathered in Rev 7..... THE VIRGINS WITHOUT NUMBER AKA THE INNUMERABLE COMPANY! The final company, caught up at midtrib, before the open door is shut, are the grapes that are gathered at midtrib. The grapes are the 144,000 Jews. The Jews finally believe Christ is their king because they gleaned the truth from the Barley and wheat companies.
If there is a LAST TRUMP, there is a FIRST TRUMP. If there is a high calling, there is a lesser calling. The bridal remnant will be a joint heir as husband and wife. The bulk of the church will be only heirs as children.
The barley bride is taken up in Rev 4 at pretrib, where he tells John, "COME UP HERE!". This is a very small remnant of the church that leaves at pretrib. All christians are called for this HIGH AND HEAVENLY CALLING, but few will be chosen. The bulk of the church is in a DEEP SLEEP like Adam. While Adam ( the church) slept, God was forming a bride from a rib ((TAKEN OUT OF)) Adam. This is a rib portion, a very small remnant that makes up this bridal company.
The bulk of the church has spots and wrinkles in their robes that will be cleaned in the first part of the tribulation period. How do they have wrinkles in their robes? They are in a deep sleep! When you're lying down in these robes, they get wrinkled. They have spots because of false doctrines.
There is a pretrib rapture, and the bulk of the church, like yourself, will reject the truth. The Lord will use this bridal remnant to speak in these last days. This remnant will be a mouthpiece unto God. She will be rejected by the church and the world before she departs.
Hebrews 12:25
[25]See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Isaiah 1:9
[9]Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
The truth will get many angry. It will be a stark contrast of things you learned your entire life! The verse about John being caught up at pretrib is only one verse, brother. The Lord has it beautifully woven from the Old to the New Testament. We will go to heaven by ranks, just as Paul said.
1 Corinthians 15:23
[23]But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. ORDER MEANS RANKS.
●●●There are 3 stories on Noah's ark for the 3 companies escaping through the open door by rank and order.
Go read it! The world taught us, as a child, that the ark was loaded by 2's. The truth is they first loaded by 7's then by 2's!!!
Genesis 7:2
[2]Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
●●● When Peter had the vision of the fitted sheet with all manner of beasts inside. These are saints from the 4 corners of the earth of every nation and tongue. He saw this sheet come down THRICE....3 TIMES FOR 3 COMPANIES OF BELIEVERS!!
●●● 3 companies of people will be caught up by ranks before the middle of the week....BARLEY, WHEAT, AND GRAPES. The barley company is the ONLY COMPANY that is harvested by WINNOWING. All the remaining companies need a threshing floor of tribulation to do a finishing work before they are caught up. The wheat is CRUSHED by the tribullum board, grapes are TREAD, and olives are PRESSED on the threshing floor of tribulation.
●●● There will be 3 companies of light. He is the LIGHT, and as we take in his Word, we become light. The more we consume, the brighter we become. We decrease, and he increases! The 3 light companies are Sun glory saints, moon glory saints, and star glory saints. Those bridal sun glory saints SHINE WHILE IT IS STILL DAYTIME!
Do I need to ask you when the moon and stars shine?!? The moon and star glory saints shine during the night season of tribulation.
There is so much more. This is only a glimpse of what is in the Word regarding a 3 part harvest.
God told Elijah more or less "get over yourself Elijah I have other believers, and I always will"
Jesus Christ is coming soon guys, seek him while he may still be found he loves you and does not want any of us to perish
He died on the cross of Calvary for us, was buried and Rose on the third day❤
John 3:16 For God loved the world in this way:[a] He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
But He IS NOT coming back for a RAPTURE. You got it all wrong.

When I was a kid my mother would tell us about the rapture and despite what that meant it sounded scary. Now as an adult it's even scarier thinking about missing the rapture and being left behind. It would obviously indicate that I wasn't saved but thinking I was. It's terrifying actually.
You’re deceived if you believe the rapture.There is no rapture, the false christ will come first to rapture you away the true Christ will come after.
It’s not a bad thing to have the fear of God like this.
@@christieheyblombut it's real. My highschool friend also tell me about the rapture and I got the anxiety. When I pass highschool I'm feel more better.
Search the scriptures.. for in them you THINK you are saved
Good doesn't lie. He's forgiven you of your past. Ask him to forgive you of today. Then forgive yourself.
I really thinknim written in jesus book. When i call out to him he always helps me. I dont know how i lived without him ever!!
Many believe they know the lord but many of them will be saddened at the end when the lord says depart from me for I know ye not. The world is in great deception right now and each and every one of us needs to have a close personal experience with the only person who ever truly cares for us enough to die. I pray you all have this experience
Rapture is a misreading of Matt 24:37-40. Evangelicals don't read scripture contextually so they ignore context here.
the Trib happened when Rome destroyed Jerusalem in 70Ad. It was a 3.5 year period under Nero as the "man of sin and lawlessness". Nero was the Beast. The Mark of the Beast was allegiance to Ceasar. Right hand and forehead is a Deuteronomy 6:8 term. The whore of Babylon was the Sanhedrin in cahoots with Rome.
All OT reference to New heavens and new earth and new Israel/Judah/Jerusalem was talking about the new Church age and Church its self. Romans 11 shows us how salvation left the jews due to their rejection and came to the world. the gentile world is the branch grafted in.
The only thing ahead is a global revival of most of the planet coming to Christ as one church body in faith in Christ alone before the end. Habakkuk 2:14, Isaiah 101:9. Its a wheat field, not a tear field. Then the final second coming and judgment.
WE NEED TO BE PREPARED
Not everybody that goes to church is going in the rapture. Many will miss it even so-called pastors.
An experiment. - do we READ what we see or read into what we were told?
Daniel 7:13-14 ESV
"I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. [14] And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.
Who is the son of man?
Who is the ancient of days?
Which direction is the son of man traveling?
What event is this???
@HillbillyBlack that's the event we are waiting for. Now is the time to spend time with God.i need to walk with him daily.spend time in the word daily.
@@cd0130 there’s plenty of end Times passages in scripture related to the second coming but Daniel isn’t one of them. If you read it exegetically it does not read like an end times event. The only way you can get that is if you forced other passages in scripture or current events into the text. Which is an eisegetical nightmare on its own.
"I saw in the night visions, and behold, WITH THE CLOUDS of heaven there CAME one like a son of man,
- on or with the clouds of heaven comes the son of man.
and he CAME TO the “Ancient of Days”
- The ancient of days is the designation of Yahweh. Just as the son of man is the definition of Jesus.
and was PRESENTED before HIM.
- So the son of man is presented before the ancient of days. This is an up arrow not a down arrow. Jesus is ascending into heaven on the clouds of heaven being presented before God.
[14] And TO HIM was GIVEN dominion and glory and a kingdom,
And to him, the Son of Man, is given dominion and glory and a Kingdom
So if you read this carefully, nowhere is anything referencing the end of time other than the term “ancient of days” which is an old testament terminology for Yahweh.
Yahweh is presenting Yeshua the kingdom.
Notice time frame context in Mark 1:15 ESV
and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."
The kingdom is here already. What you are waiting for is past tense. You are in it now

He abandoned his church. He is steeped in pride and arrogance, and he draws attention to himself, not to Christ. Real men of God don’t abandon their families and run away from their problems. Please be careful who you listen to🙏
Hmmm saw some quotes saying '... one will be taken and the other remain' (paraphrased), and it was the evil one taken and the good one that remained. Remember, the false Messiah (AntiChrist) will come first. If the AntiChrist has not come, and you hear the Christ has returned, understand that is NOT Jesus. Read ALL of the bible without cherry picking. If one quotes something go and read before the quote, the quote, then after to be certain it is not out of context.
Jesus said 'My sheep know my voice' He has told us we will know Him. Be sure you are one of His "sheep".
The wheat an tares explain it very well,along with a good understanding of Matthew 24. I don't understand why people think we won't be here when the anti Christ is revealed.
Thank God I'm not alone..I've known this for years .the rapture is the biggest lie the devil has decieved many through false teachers..there are many ways, different scriptures explaining his return .he's coming back in and through his remnant..col:1:27 Christ in you the hope of GLORY..we are the body of Christ,he is the head of the body .his kingdom come his will be done on earth as it is in heaven..the kingdom of heaven is within us .Jesus said it .

We are spared God's wrath not tribulation, but tribulation is cut short or no flesh would make it.
Christians will NOT go thru the tribulation marked with Gods wrath to destroy the wicked ones. In this life all ppl will have tribulation..but we will be removed before the great tribulation starts.
Finally more people who know we have to be in the tribulation. No wrath unless we drink from the cup of his wrath. Than if course you never believed Christ in the first place.😊
@@TexasVicky Gods not gonna beat up His bride before He takes her.
@@suepooh3822 Yes. They will. In fact, the revealing of the identity of the beast is the beginning of the tribulation. That is why Jesus told His followers to flee for the mountains when they see that event take place. Matthew 24:15-16

I know folks think that they are special. But, all those Christianese slogans like, "God's not gonna beat up his bride" are not based on the Bible.

What if we stand across the street of a church that we feel is not teaching what they should be, and hold a sign to those going in or out for their service asking them things like "Why isn't your Pastor teaching you about the Rapture?".

For being uploaded on April 30,
2023, this short is extremely prophetic in several ways, especially considering what Mark Driscoll is going through right now...
Well, having the entire weight of the Assembly of God denomination going after him for calling out that circus act is going to feel like his own, personal "tribulation." I pray that he draws closer to God in this troubling time.
So far, publicly (at the event,) he made his 'observation' in a seemingly calm way. In the public conversation afterwards, he maintained a loving attitude, while still not recanting what he'd said, even though it looked like Lindell was holding him hostage. Now that several bigwigs are attacking his character from the pulpit, I hope Mark Driscoll refrains from retaliation, remains calm, and trusts the Lord to vindicate him.
That alone would prove to me that Driscoll spoke at that conference out of obedience to God, and nothing else.
I know the feeling, I am feeling the same way Pastor.
Every true Christian is raptured.
Please point out the scripture that says "Rapture" in any translation?
Not the made up by John Darby scriptures either. Not the ones "they"say means the rapture either.
Rapture doesn't even mean how it's used in that false doctrine. 2 Corinthians 15:50-52
Specifically says at the last trumpet,the dead in Christ will raise and all left alive will be called up.
Left alive from tribulation are the alive and dead in Christ is all believers who have passed away, including the martyrs. Which the martyrs are in between the 5th and 6th seal and trumpet .... would have to have been the abomination of desolation by then. 7 trumpets are referenced in Rev. 8 or 9 when they are issued to the angels.
Revelation 22:19 whosoever adds or takes away a single word from this prophecy writes their name out of the book of life! No word "Rapture" in any translation, Enough said.
There's no rapture, only a first resurrection. It's a false doctrine created by John Darby in 1830. Just look up the history of rapture doctrine. It wasn't even a subject of conversation before 175 years ago.
@@MathiasVIKING0403 Sorry but you're echoing a lie. Darby DID NOT invent the rapture as you claim, in fact it's been disproven time and time again that the belief in the rapture was modern. The earliest writings of the rapture go to before Christ and can be found in the Dead Sea Scrolls!! We also have other writings as far back to 100 A.D. ( research Irenaeus of Lyon 120A.D.-200A.D just for starters). It's amazing what a quick search with Google can bring up without any effort what so ever!
@MathiasVIKING0403 I agree with most of what you said except it's NOT just the First Ressurection (which debunks pretrib, because it is the FIRST ressurection after the First Fruits Ressurection of Christ).
But at the time of the 6th seal you have the First Ressurection of the Tribulation Saints ( the multitude). But you also have the First Fruits Redemption of the 144,000 (voice of many waters) who are alive and remain. They will remain and go through the wrath being protected by God. When Christ returns after the wrath He comes with His ressurectsd Saints (tribulation saints). He doesn't come with the 144,000 also because they are still here. During the 1000 year reign of Christ there will be the 144,000 and the Tribulation Saints with Christ.
@@assaultbravo14 if their protected,they are not experiencing the "wrath" .
,God judges all mankind at once. Just like the flood. Revelation 20 explicitly says this. Those in the first resurrection don't experience the second death. This implies one judgment.
@@assaultbravo14 my real problem with all this( Rapture) nonsense is that most just go along with whatever some preacher says without ever checking to see what the Bible says for themselves. That means they are learning from a person who didn't validate the doctrine their teaching either. And the cycle of Satan's influence just keeps gaining momentum.

You can't miss the Rapture. There isn't one-only the Day of the Lord. Christ ends the Tribulation at his second coming, "Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit, or a message, or a letter as if from us to the effect that the day of the Lord has come." (Thes.)

Stand strong and finish strong sir.
Amen! Especially the part about “the board”, aka Deacons, who won’t deal with obvious false teaching going on under their noses. Either they don’t see it as false, or else the teacher is a “good-ole-boy” who they refuse to confront.
Somedays I feel that heavily. We are spread out so far and wide these days. How else can the message get spread to the ends of the world. I know it's a lonely road of faith sometimes but Jesus said He would never leave us nor forsake us.
Thank you Pastor Mark, you are a man of God!! I was a Jezebel spirit for many many years and because I listened to what you said and what you have been saying my heart was totally convicted and I have repented and seek the lord in all things because someone who had a Jezebel spirit well that does not go away in one day!! Everything you said about a Jezebel spirit that was me, so I work daily to unlearn that behavior!! My mother is a high priest of a witch coven and a lesbian, I was married to a good Christian man and I left him and started a 15-year relationship with a woman, and my daughter is in a relationship "married" with a woman for about 16 years now. I know you must be a very very busy man but if you could pray against that
Jezebel spirit curse I sure would appreciate it!
Have to just keep my eyes upon Him and not get sidetracked by all the evil and distractions. He is able to keep me to the very end and has promised to never fail me or forsake me.
Have faith il follow your guidance and there would be at least two and we could make so many more
It’s so crazy, when I was a child I would go with my great grandmother Jean Marie and everybody like meant what the gospel said, and I was a kid of course and I made my mistakes and I find myself back at the feet of The Shepherd. My growth in faith of course was a slow burn, we lost her presence on this earth when I was young but now as I am grown not only in stature but in faith I look around and I see the world is the opposite as the one that she raised me in. I am scared for all of my brothers and sisters. There is only one way into The Kingdom of God. 🗣️❤️

He's coming for a church without spot wrinkle or blemish. Stay ready. Our redemption draws near.
He’s coming to return to the Earth. There is no rapture. There’s not one Bible verse that says there is a rapture. The only rapture that happens is the one that happens the second the Lord returns to reign on earth. The rapture in the coming of Jesus are the same as the scripture say.
Really you and my pastor Phil Hooper at Abundant LIFE lees summit Mo are the only 2 pastors that I think goes strictly by the Bible and doesn’t cave in to all the nonsense in the world and in the modern church! Thankful for you both .

Ah, what a grace-filled, life-giving message. Most people are terrible Christians, if at all, and we’re the better ones who actually care about God and His purposes. Thank God there are churches like yours who heave condemnation at the “others” in your world. One thing the church hasn’t done well enough throughout history is condemn and take the moral high ground. And it’s so refreshing and healthy to see a pastor call out his peers and call them apostates. I really like that whole concept of not throwing stones when you’re living in a glass house.
No we have not missed it.❤Im still waiting, i read and love the bible., im still waiting, God Bless You!!!
I feel like we are ALL losing and slapping our Lord in the face. I look across the land and I feel terrible for our God. Nothing about our modern lives glorifies him.. I just hope these demons in the church will be cast into the abyss
Jesus Christ is the way and the truth.Saved me from alcoholism after 16 years in darkness and drunkeness.I feel we will soon be in rapture.The pawns are falling into place in middle east around Israel.

You are not the only one, I tel myself! Jesus will rapture those who are His! We win in the end
JESUS IS COMING HE IS COMING
We are here brother
Man you're spot on, no we haven't missed it, everyone arguing over when it is will only destroy peoples faith especially those who are new in the faith,, God will hold those accountable for it
A lot of us are deconstructing from
debilitating, condemning beliefs. It’s the love of God that draws people to repentance, not condemnation and retribution - no one steps into living as a son of God because they’re afraid of going to hell. All the years I felt like I was on God’s shit list I was at my worst - I was afraid to try to move on and live my best life following God’s plan for my life because I was still expecting God to judge me for everything I did wrong and thought I couldn’t move on until after the judgment was over.
Fast forward to today, I unlearned sin-consciousness, and hell-consciousness, and have learned to let go of the past and stop thinking about God‘s judgment and realize instead that God‘s judgment is that I am a son and I am loved and there’s nothing wrong with me and never was. The self-destructive habits and lifestyle are far behind me as a result.
So it turns out people aren’t leaving the Faith, they’re just leaving your brand of controlling institutional religion.
Amen brother Your not alone were almost at the finish line
TAKE HEED and LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU!
Yes there are alot of us here that love Jesus. 🙏❤️❤️🙏
Im a college student, I feel exactly the same way but do not believe we have missed the rapture (yet) and I’ll explain why in a second. But first one psalm that i really resonate with, psalm 12:
“Save o lord, for the godly one is gone; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man. Everyone utters lies to his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.” Psalm 12: 1-2 (ESV)
I feel as though there are no faithful people left, especially in my generation. I feel like everyone is mad in their own pursuit of pleasure, mirth, and them self. I feel like everyone is constantly muttering vanities and drama. I feel completely isolated and alone in this culture. I almost can’t stand it, sometimes I foolishly make the remark that I should have been born 50 years earlier. But there’s two facts to this matter.
1) I guarantee you I am not the only one who feels this way.
2) God puts us in certain times for a reason.
Here’s why I don’t believe the rapture has happened yet. The first reason is that I feel alone but I know I am not. There are thousands of people that feel the same way which means that not all Godliness is lost. (Of course I could be wrong about this). Second the entire Bible is a circular cycle of God’s people, entire generations of people, rebelling against god, pursuing their own idols and vanities. Deut32, Moses speaks to the increasingly rebellious Israelites a warning of what would happen if they forsake God. Psalm 78: talks about multiple generations of people who forsake God, only to face his wrath and be reminded of his power.
“Yet they sinned still more against him” -Psalm 78: 17 (ESV)
“They tested God again and again and provoked the holy one of Israel. They did not remember his power” -41-42(ESV)
My larger point is, all throughout history we’ve seen this cycle of generations forsaking God and forgetting him only to face his wrath and be reminded. I believe we are in part of the cycle right before we face his wrath.
Thirdly we can get a peak at what the rapture will look like in the Bible. I’m sure this probably is not new to Christians reading this but it fits into my argument that I do not believe the rapture has happened yet.
“For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of a trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so will we always be with the Lord”
-1 Thessalonians 16-17 (ESV)
If an event like that would have already taken place, we would for sure know about it.
I know that many of us feel like the faithful have completely vanished but the fact that there are many of us who feel that way mean that there are still those of us who are faithful. I hope that we can all find consolation in that fact no matter how alone and isolated we may feel.
To anyone reading this, i hope this message finds you well and may God bless you in your faith, and endeavors.
