Kylie Gonzalez,
how are you, now?
God loves you Kylie. Keep listening to Andrew’s sermons. They’ve changed my life.
Praise God that He did.
God bless
I don’t think that all people are looking to escape. People believe his bride isn’t appointed to the wrath of God. Like Noah and Lot.
Who were spared Gods wrath. Scripture clearly says like the days of Noah. There’s too many references to the church not being here for the tribulation to ignore. While so respect stating that something is not your field of expertise, what I don’t respect is saying there isn’t one without biblical teaching to back up that assertion. I always look for bold supportive teachings and biblical verses to support bold statements and when there is none I have doubts. It would have been better to say I don’t know and leave it at that. It’s very important that we have our lamps ready with oil; what you do here counts for what you will be doing in the millennium- saved with get you to heaven but maybe not the assignment that God had prepared for you if you understood you could be called at any moment. Peace
I didn’t get saved because of the rapture.....but it is in the Word......meet Jesus in the air....
When he comes in the clouds as he tells in Matt 24. What happens when he comes in the clouds?
Agree
Agree with you, brother Andrew. And the key is to keep abiding in God's love. Knowing that He loves us first, that makes us love Him back ❤️
I don't think Christians should worry themselves about whether or not there will be a rapture. Jesus is all you need. Just focus on his love for you and rest in Him. He's promised to take care of you.
Amen. That is what I mean be being ready no matter what happens.
actually those who do not know MUST worry, why?
because according to Revelation 14:9-12 if ANY man
receive the mark and worships the beast gets God's wrath.
you say a Christian wouldn't take the mark. are you saying
a Christian wouldn't give into temptation? a Christian wouldn't mess up?
Christians mess up and give in now. and if now, how much more in that
time when you must have the mark to be able to buy or sell?
to say that going through the time of Jacob's trouble is the truth,
then that would mean there would be no eternal security. and that
would contradict so many scriptures that is FOR that doctrine
(in Romans-Philemon as well as John)
and the other reason why it DOES matter
is because the resurrection (the catching away)
is the completion of our salvation. our soul and spirit
are saved, but the third part, the body is still corrupted
and is yet to be redeemed. so it is vary much important when
the catching away is (and that it has to be before that time)
@@xceptamanbbornagainnokingd5836 I believe many who believe in TNASA/SATAN's rising above the clouds, and the round, spinning Earth will be tricked that Jesus has come to a side of the Earth where they can't see his return.
@@JesusIsaFlatEarther well in that case i would just shew this scripture
"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth all wail because of him, Even so , Amen." (Revelation 1:7).
i like to remember this verse any time some lost nut out there tries to claim and convince that he is Jesus Christ and that he has returned (the second coming) among other passages of events that must happen before he returns. and of course one might say, those things happened already, this is the kingdom of heaven (thousand year reign). but then there is the thing of death, and world wide peace, and peace between animals and man as well as other animals, as well as the Messiah ruling from Jereuslam, but 2 specific nuts, on of them is in Russia, and the other in Australia. in the old testament, there was a tall order for the Messiah to fulfill, and by not bringing in the least of the promises such as these, i know that they are false. the Jews stumble because they believe that Jesus had to fulfill all of it at his first coming to be the Messiah, but that ever so slight pivot that stumbles them is that he will fulfill the rest at his second coming.
so this is how i know any lost man that claims to be Jesus Christ now with all the events of Revelation being done already is the perpetual state of what was written in the old testament of what the Messiah would bring in
@@xceptamanbbornagainnokingd5836 you seem like you're well read in scripture enough not to be fooled, but that's the exception. When you look at the cosmology described in scripture to that forced down our throats from mainstream media, academia and TNASA/SATAN, many will have no clue when the image of the beast is broadcast all over the world. So many have been brainwashed by the Tell lie Vision they believe that they stand and boats sail upside down on a spinning water ball. If you show them the surface of water will not pool unless contained and when contained is always flat and level, they regurgitate some theory about gravity and dismiss verses like Jeremiah 5:22, that there's ends to the Earth. I even has a pastor say the firmament isn't hard as glass, as described in Job 37:18, or there's no water above the firm ament tho it's mentioned in Psalms 148:4.
No, most Christians have no clue that the Earth is motionless as described in 1 Chronicles 16:30 and Psalms 104:5 and that it's the sun that moves as described in Joshua 10:13. Or do they know that sun dials in Konark India could not still be accurate to this day if the Earth were spinning and going around the sun at 66.6 thousand miles per hour. Even the Earth's tilt of 66.6 degree's doesn't get the attention of those who know what the mark of the beast is.
There's UA-cam channels that address biblical cosmology, even if not Christian. One is FlatEarthDoctrine and there's a pastor Dean Odle and some non Christian channels for the science are DIRTH or Globebusters or Eric Dubay. And of course there are books about this subject, but what mainstream media doesn't give you the real biblical cosmology, but offers you debunking videos or hit pieces, so you don't question TNASA/SATAN's authority.
I respect the fact that he admits to not having a great revelation on the book of Revelation and therefor not teaches on it.
In this video he simply gave an answer to the question “do you believe that...”. If I’m correct, God doesn’t require us to believe in the rapture in order to be saved.
When someone has a different view on things, our first response should be prayer; ask God to enlighten all of our hearts by the light of the Holy Spirit.
But if you are not SEEKING him in your daily walk, you are going to miss Him when He comes
The rapture and the second coming of Christ are often confused. Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a scripture verse is referring to the rapture or the second coming. However, in studying end-times Bible prophecy, it is very important to differentiate between the two.
The rapture is when Jesus Christ returns to remove the church (all believers in Christ) from the earth. The rapture is described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50-54. Believers who have died will have their bodies resurrected and, along with believers who are still living, will meet the Lord in the air. This will all occur in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye. The second coming is when Jesus returns to defeat the Antichrist, destroy evil, and establish His millennial kingdom. The second coming is described in Revelation 19:11-16.
The important differences between the rapture and second coming are as follows:
1) At the rapture, believers meet the Lord in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:17). At the second coming, believers return with the Lord to the earth (Revelation 19:14).
2) The second coming occurs after the great and terrible tribulation (Revelation chapters 6-19). The rapture occurs before the tribulation (1 Thessalonians 5:9; Revelation 3:10).
3) The rapture is the removal of believers from the earth as an act of deliverance (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, 5:9). The second coming includes the removal of unbelievers as an act of judgment (Matthew 24:40-41).
4) The rapture will be secret and instant (1 Corinthians 15:50-54). The second coming will be visible to all (Revelation 1:7; Matthew 24:29-30).
5) The second coming of Christ will not occur until after certain other end-times events take place (2 Thessalonians 2:4; Matthew 24:15-30; Revelation chapters 6-18). The rapture is imminent; it could take place at any moment (Titus 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:50-54).
Why is it important to keep the rapture and the second coming distinct?
1) If the rapture and the second coming are the same event, believers will have to go through the tribulation (1 Thessalonians 5:9; Revelation 3:10).
2) If the rapture and the second coming are the same event, the return of Christ is not imminent-there are many things which must occur before He can return (Matthew 24:4-30).
3) In describing the tribulation period, Revelation chapters 6-19 nowhere mentions the church. During the tribulation-also called "the time of trouble for Jacob" (Jeremiah 30:7)-God will again turn His primary attention to Israel (Romans 11:17-31).
The rapture and second coming are similar but separate events. Both involve Jesus returning. Both are end-times events. However, it is crucially important to recognize the differences. In summary, the rapture is the return of Christ in the clouds to remove all believers from the earth before the time of God's wrath. The second coming is the return of Christ to the earth to bring the tribulation to an end and to defeat the Antichrist and his evil world empire.
There are so many lost...I think this person is leading them astray from the word of God. I am ready for HIS COMING...JESUS IS COMING SOON!!! The Tribulation is not where I want to be!!!!
Incorrect doctrine but still in Christ
True! Pre trib rapture. "we are not appointed to wrath". The rightly dividing (of different Bible dispensations) is necessary to avoid confusion (Gd deals with 'Body of Christ' separately from dealing with Israel). ✌
@@wadejnelson Amen
1Thessalonians4:17 .. ( meet in the clouds in the air ). 2Thessalonians2:7-8 ... (taken out of way.. then shall that Wicked be revealed .. ). 1Thessalonians5:9 .. (not to wrath, but salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ ). The Rapture is the resurrection of the Church ( harvest of the first fruits ). peace+love>
The "rapture" already took place in (ín) those who received the new birth in Christ. John 3, John 5:24 and Col 1:13 This is the first resurrection: inside our skull 🌾 The 2nd and final resurrection as quoted in 1Thes 4:13-18 will appear from oút of us, as Christ is inside us. We are the clouds from which He will manifest, just like Jesus' glorious transfiguration on a high mountain in Matt 17. Clouds are symbolic. "As for us, we have all of these great witnesses (martyrs), who encircle us like clouds". Hebr 12:1 🌸 The whole cross-events of Jesus took place in our skull, that is where the cruisifiction, resurrection and ascending took place. Just as John 17:3 says we alreády experience eternal life, as both heaven and hell are not a geographic place, but a state of mind.
@@elmarieking9590 trust the Word of God , its not of private interpetation ... "this same Jesus , which is taken up from you into heaven , shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven". (acts 1;11). Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the FLESH , is of God (1john4:2) , not in the mind. do not be decieved. .. peace+love>
@@7zovets406 Ok...about that scripture. It is the starting point for the topic of the rapture because of the implications of the Christian doctrine of Soteriology or salvation. So the whole passage that applies is :
" Dear friends, don't believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is NOT from God.This is the spirit of the antichrist which you have heard is coming and even now is in the world." 1Jn 4:1-3
So....you ask...why is this a foundational verse for understanding what the Bible teaches about the rapture? It is important because of the implications that result from Jesus "coming in the flesh". We are sinful flesh, but Jesus came in the flesh because that was the only way he could take unto himself our sin ...substitutionary atonement..."without blood there is no remission of sins". The animals sacrificed in the O.T. only covered the sin...but an animal is not the same as a human...a perfect (sinless) human had to be sacrificed to remove and restore us from our sin. But there was something else that Jesus took upon himself when he died a horrible death on the cross... the WRATH of God that we deserved because of our sin. Now...what is the Tribulation, or as it is called numerous times in the Old Testament "The Day of the Lord" ? It is GOD'S WRATH on a Christ rejecting world...and even the evil doers trying to hide from God's punishment know it's God's wrath because they say so in Revelation ch 6 when they cry " The WRATH of the lamb has come and who can stand?" But what has 1st Jn 4:1-3 taught us about God's wrath ? We are NOT subject to God's WRATH because Jesus took it on himself...therefore...when anyone teaches that there is no pre-tribulation rapture in the scriptures, and that Christians will again be subject to God's wrath , they are in effect DENYING that Jesus came in the flesh. And what does John say about this teaching? Using the measurement he told us to apply, the teaching that there is no pre-trib rapture comes from the spirit of the antichrist.
There is so much confusion about what Paul's letters to the Thessalonians says about the rapture...but when you properly understand the implications of Jesus Christ "coming in the flesh", you can then understand what Paul really means when he says "You are NOT appointed unto WRATH" . He means you will be taken out of the world while God pours out his wrath ( and refines his people Israel) on a Christ rejecting world.
Also when Jesus is handed the scroll in the throne room it is us the church who are the elders watching the tribulation unfold and us who returns from heaven with him afterwards for Armageddon. And what of the crowns etc? When would that be? And the desolation? And the witnesses? Why would we be here to hear witnesses while we endure Gods wrath? And what of the 144k why would there be a need for them if we have Christian pastors here on earth since there’s no rapture? (Respectfully) there Seems like there is a whole topic you haven’t discussed but that’s disturbing because it’s woven into every book of the Bible but yet you’re running a Bible college. Is that topic skipped over there as well I’m assuming it is because you stated it wasn’t your thing. I have followed your teachings for years but I’m shocked at your take on the rapture bc the Bible clearly states two different returns to earth by Jesus; one with a shout when we meet him in the air and the other when he returns with his host on horseback and touches down on Mount Olive which will split in two. I don’t know how you could run a Bible college without expertly covering eschatology.
“and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He did raise out of the dead - Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.”
1 Thessalonians 1:10 YLT98
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.”
John 14:1-4, 6-7 KJV
“Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”
Matthew 25:1-13 KJV
Notice: Rescuing us from Wrath,
Prepared a place for you in His Fathers house, When it’s ready receiving us unto Him, bridegroom came, they went with him to the MARRIAGE, door was shut.
To me it doesn’t sound like we go right into battle as an army. Sounds like consummation and marriage supper of the lamb.
Is it comforting to know your going to see people and creatures die and suffer all around you but you’ll be protected or is it comforting to know you’re going to the marriage consummation and supper in the mansion He prepared for you?
“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 KJV
Notice: Comfort each other with these words, the shout at midnight behold the bridegroom cometh = the voice of an arc angel announcing our Bridegroom/Lord
“Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.”
Zechariah 14:3-6, 11 KJV
Notice: feet stand on Mt. Olives , all the saints with thee, no more utter destruction
“And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Revelation 19:6-10 KJV
Its very easy to understand the book of revelation... Jesus Wins
Yup I've been saved since 1974 and I've heard every conceivable doctrine on The rapture. I believe in Pan tribulation haha, I believe everything will Pan out in the end according to God's will in the meantime keep seeking Jesus and walking in love and faith.
Yours is the best way loveistruth. Repent and be ready for no matter what. If there is a Rapture you get to do an inzone dance in front on Mr. Womac. If not, your still where you need to be.
A wise teacher won't try to teach on things they aren't yet confident in.
Yes - agreed. But he should have left it at that - not almost dismiss the notion completely [and Im a little curious] - do they skip Revelation completely at his bible college? Also - there are many many many references to the Rapture in many many other books in the Bible - how are those references taught there? Just a thought....
All the rapture verses are talking about the second coming. It's easily provable.
So wonderful to hear the truth.
Never heard anyone tell exactly just what I have believed since I was first filled with the Spirit !! Awesome! Soooo simple and DOES NOT PUT FEAR IN YOU AT ALL!!
We really are not appointed unto wrath.. But we dont have to escape!! Ha ha
Andrew the bible is clear there is a rapture but you will have to take a little time to listen to a few bible teachers who can show this to you in the scriptures. JD Farag and Amir Tsarfati are two that can show this to you. Since you do have so much influence and this subject is more important than you realize now, please contact them to talk it over. You will thank me for introducing you to these strong bible teachers and the truth of the rapture.
Well said.
David Jeremiah and Tiff Shuttlesworth and Robert Jefress as well
I really appreciated this addressing controversial issues...EXCELLENT! Thank you!!
Love the guy and his teachings, but he just admitted that he didn't know much regarding Revelations and doesn't teach it because of the lack of knowledge. So, would I take his opinion on the Rapture as gospel. No! I would seek out someone that has an in-depth knowledge.
How About you study it out. Andrew is not trying to hawk a book or movie about rapture, where most on here got their end time theology. Rapture is a form of western prosperity gospel - “ I’m special, i can just float along in my cushy life till beamed up” Revelation speaks of martyrs - yet Holy Spirit is gone? Hmm 🤔
@@jfellers8475 interesting, how you make assumptions. You assume I haven't studied it out and you assume my beliefs or at least your comment suggest it. I will say this, if I was you, according to your statement on end times, I would most certainly follow your own advice. 😳😳
@@jfellers8475 I didn't understand the last bit after beamed up

@@seanmcneely3399 Agreed. I just have a problem with saying there is no Rapture without scripture and explanation- that part is irresponsible
Please! No more tribulating! I've tribulated enough!
Andrew I love all your teaching watch you all the time have many of many of you're books but this I will disagree with the rapture will defiantly take place be for that terrible time
Have you studied it or just decided from a book or movie ?
“Immediately AFTER the tribulation.”-Jesus
Study yo show yourself approved
Maurice, I totally agree with you! Luke 21:36 "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things will come to pass and stand before the Son of Man." God the Father is not going to present a beaten-up bride to His son at tne marriage supper of the Lamb.
God has not appointed us to wrath
(1Thess 5:9)
We meet the Lord in the air in the clouds at the Rapture....and at the 2nd Coming Jesus feet come down and touch the Mount of Olives
Andrew Wommack is the teacher that I listen to and relate to more than any other minister.
Something happened yesterday as I got this pop-up on UA-cam that showed me I shouldn’t give my total alliance to anyone but Jesus. Seek God for myself! I still love Andrew and his teaching. Andrew helped get me through the toughest times in my life more than any other teacher.
And this pop up does not affect heaven or hell issues so I’m OK with it. But I totally disagree with him, and I thank God it made me totally dependent on God and no one else
I pray for all that takes man's word over the scriptures, we are warned of this
God bless you Mr Wommack!
This man needs a good Biblical education!! How sad men teach from ignorance!! Maranatha!
the word of God (King James Bible) says that
true education is from God and not from man
(Acts 4:13, Galatians 1:11-12, 1Corinthians 1:19-21/27-31)
and they that are not saved cannot understand the truth
(1Corinthians 2:14)
@@xceptamanbbornagainnokingd5836 Shalom... But there is something detailed about those God's Word that should be noticed. It is 1 Thess 4 : 15 {KJV} says : " For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep". Please, noticed the words of "...remain unto the coming of the Lord". So i believe that the "rapture" is not an "independent event". It is for sure only attachment of the Second Coming of The Lord Jesus, and i think it is truly what Andrew means. God Bless you...
@@usernyb123 you believe the catching away of Christ's body and the second coming are the same event? question then, where in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 17 or Luke 21 does it mention any dead saints being raised? also in 1Thessalonians 4, where does it mention Jesus coming to the earth, touching his feet down on the surface? it's no where. the first time, he's coming for the church, no signs, no wrath, just love, joy, and peace. the second coming is not so. you get the sun being darkened, moon not giving her light, the stars fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens being shaked up. where's all of this in John 10, or any of Paul's writings to the Gentiles?
@@usernyb123 btw when it says remain unto the coming of the Lord simply means we who are alive and in the flesh for when Christ coming back for his church. remember John 11:25-26
"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest though this?"
here, Jesus is talking about those who died (in the flesh) they will receive a new body and be as we who are alive now (of course with incorruptible, perfect bodies) and we that live, we will not die (at the resurrection because we will be instantly transformed. we'll never experience the physical death of soul and spirit departing from the body. that's what Jesus is talking about here, and Paul is just reaffirming that we who are alive now, will not prevent them who are dead in Christ at the resurrection..
but the major confusion here is you think that the coming of the Lord in the Paul line epistles means the second coming. why can't it be in the clouds only to call up the church? i mean that's what 1Thessalonians 4:16-18 is talking about
@@xceptamanbbornagainnokingd5836 I am sorry brother, forgive me, but i think you are biased on the topic. We talk about (as Andrew said) the "traditional understanding" about (the time of) "Rapture" as many
Churches said, they say that the time of "Rapture event" is depend on when the "tribulation event" happened, whether it's pre, midst, or post of the tribulation. But the Bible says different. According to the 1 Thess 4 :15-18 (KJV), the time of "Rapture event" is not related to the time of "tribulation event", but only related to the time of "Second Coming event". So please read the Words of 1 Thess 4 : 15-18 carrefully and comprehensively. Based on those Words, we know that the Rapture is not an "Independent Event" related to the "tribulation event", but its time related to "Second Coming event". So we know for sure that "Rapture" is only the attachment of The Second Coming event. And i think, it was what Andrew means, because he just said that he doesn't believe the "traditional understanding" of the Churches about "Rapture", but he still believe for sure that the Second Coming of the Lord will surely occur. And based on the Words above, we know that the Rapture happened in the Second Coming event, it is not related to the time of tribulation, because it is only the attachment of The Second Coming event. God Bless you...
Regardless it does not matter it will all be reveled soon when Christ comes back for his bride And the way things are looking it won’t be long
How true! I agree!
There will be a rapture I believe but it seems to me the problem is when people try to narrow it down to a specific time when Jesus said that no man knows the day or hour but that we would only know what the general time frame would be in the signs of the time's. I know this is vague that's why Jesus also said that we need to always be watching and ready.
It makes no sense tho where these people going ????
Matthew 24
@@jesusrocha9000which people?
The church in Philadelphia has the explicit promise in Revelation 3:10. No one else has this explicit promise. 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.
"...to endure patiently"
Key words: Keep from. Not through not during, but from.
And the church of Philadelphia was his favored church
I believe in rapture
Me too
John 17-15 we will be here till the end
I've been wondering your take on all the doom and gloom for ages. I enjoyed hearing your words just then. Thank You for another honest insight into the wonderful world of the Bible:-)
Thank you brother for spending the truth I believe in your ministry
🤣🤣🤣I like his humorous way of answering, but incredible truth. Man I feel joy inside.
Try dispensation. It might change your mind. In Matt 24, Jesus was talking to Jews. In Thess., Paul was talking to the Church. Jews go through Tribulation. Tell me where the Church is mentioned after the third chapter in Revelations.
He will be pleasantly surprised
He'll be like "now now wait a minute" (cowboy accent)😂
Or you maybe disappointed
He's understandable, many times in his teaching he says he still learning, he's just so honest to tell what he don't know yet but I believe this is not his specialization. But I believed that God has put different specialist in his word revealing them what to teach with clarity in specific areas of scripture. PERRY STONE is one specialist when the topic of appearing and second coming of the Lord Jesus. That's what I personally believe but also open to correction with that conviction .
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
You WILL have trouble, but you’ll find your peace in Jesus and the fact that he ALREADY overcame the world. Don’t look forward to something that may or may not happen for peace. Look back to what already happened through Jesus.

I don't think his argument is about whether 1 Thess 4:13-18 takes place or not. His argument seem to be more about the 'when' of the passage.

1 Thesalonian 4:16'17.
Being a Christian and not knowing the doctrine of rapture will be miserable.
The son of perdition cannot be revealed until the Holy Spirit, Restrainer, is taken out of the way, during the Blessed Hope. Titus 2:13. . After Jesus appears, then the anti christ is revealed. He confirms a 7 year covenant with many.
When Paul heard that the Thessalonian church believed the great tribulation had started, he assumed that they needed a refresher course in the Rapture timing and sent them the following timeline:
Restrainer arises > Apostasy > man of sin manifests > day of Christ starts.
Which either means the following, or he said he sent them a Rapture timeline without the Rapture on it to support his Rapture doctrine and told them bad news to calm their fears, which makes no sense.
Rapture > Apostasy > Antichrist manifests > Great Tribulation.
Don’t enter the great tribulation unnecessarily.
I don't know why their is so much division among the Church on this side issue. I believe that these arguments i
are not edifying if it causes you to forsake a brother in Christ. The requirements to follow Jesus is faith not believing that we will fly away one day. The left behind theology is a 19th century idea.
Don't get distracted by this. Preach the Gospel! Fulfill the great commision, we aren't supposed to be bitter and say "boy Jesus better come soon and save me" instead we should be looking to actively live out the commands of Christ.
just looked thru some of the other comments... yes, there is some confusion about this BUT.... Jesus talked about having the Holy spirit speak thru you and that the Spirit will give you the right words. " Give no thought as to what you say.. Mother will betray daughter etc." I think this is a prophecy about the end times. When the abomination of desolation is standing in the temple some of us will be called to testify. Then the Holy Spirit speaks thru us. How are we supposed to do this if we are raptured outta here? I don't know exact chapter and verse and I don't want to be right. I would like to be raptured up too. BUT if there is work to be done, I will do it!
It will happen when people are living normal lives,,,giving in marriage etc...it won't be anything like that at the end of the tribulation!,,literally Hell on earth.
We are going to be kept FROM this. Thank the Lord!

I don't believe in a pre tribulation rapture either. Daniel and John both make it clear that the Anti Christ comes to make war with the saints. The only way it's possible to be a saint under the new covenant is be a Christian. So How can the Anti Christ make war with the saints when the saints aren't even here?

Don't be fooled by the false teachers. Pre-trib is for chumps. If you are the elect, then you get resurrected immediately after the tribulation.

Rapture is the great evangelical lie.
@@firebearva I would say that the Pre Tribulation Rapture is a Hoax but the Post Trib Coming of Jesus and Resurrection and Rapture is NOT!
I believe as Followers of Jesus that we MUST allow Scripture to be Profitable for Doctrine!
Many today are making the Harpazo to be way more than what it is!
People are saying things today about the Harpazo that Paul never ever taught!
There is a Great Truth that Paul declares in Scripture and that Truth is this!
Paul clearly Declared and Prophesied that the COMING of Jesus Christ and the RESURRECTION of the Dead MUST take place FIRST before we are Raptured TOGETHER into the Air to Meet Jesus!
Yes!
Paul makes a Clear Distinction between the COMING of Christ and the RESURRECTION and then the Rapture!
Yes!
Paul Declares a Clear Sequence of Events!
1/ The COMING of Christ!
2/ The RESURRECTION
and THEN
3/ The Harpazo/Rapture
We MUST remember that Harpazo/Rapture ONLY means to be seized and moved from one place to another!
We MUST remember that the Harpazo is NOT some special COMING of Christ!
We MUST remember that the Harpazo is NOT some special RESURRECTION!
The Truth is that the COMING of Christ and the RESURRECTION PRECEDES the Harpazo!
Jesus said the Following words to ALL of the Churches!
Blessed and Holy are you if you Partake in the FIRST RESURRECTION!
Jesus PROMISED the Church that He will Raise Us Up at the Last Day!
Jesus Prophesied that the Resurrection of Gods Children is at the End of the Age and we the Church MUST Preach the Gospel to the Whole World as a Witness to ALL of the Nations and then the End of the Age will Come!
Jesus Prophesied that the Seed of Jesus and the Tares of satan must remain together UNTIL the End of the Age When Jesus will send His Angels and His SEED will be harvested!
We MUST COME back to what is Written in Gods Word!
Remember Scripture alone is Profitable for Doctrine!
@@thegracecast40 Hello Rea,
Jesus Himself said that anyone that goes around saying that He is COMING before His Post Tribulation COMING is a False Prophet!
Jesus told us Clearly that we MUST NOT follow after that False Prophet and MUST NOT believe that False Prophet!
Jesus made it very Clear that they are False Prophets and that they come to seduce and deceive and Teach a False COMING of Jesus Christ!
Even Paul taught the Church to NOT LISTEN to anyone that Says that Jesus is COMING before the Son of Perdition is Revealed!
We cannot allow False Teaching to take place in the Body of Christ!@
There can ONLY be One True Teaching in regards to the COMING of Jesus Christ and that Teaching MUST be exactly what Jesus said!
Only One can be Truth and all of the others a LIE!
What does Matter is this!
The Church MUST begin to exalt Truth!
The Church MUST begin to REPEAT and DECLARE what Jesus Himself said about His COMING!
It is Time to use Scripture to tear down these False Teachings that DECEIVE!
And yet, there is no "evidence" of the church being here during the great tribulation. How can I say such a thing? Have I based this on what someone else has said? No ! I base it upon the scriptures. From Revelation 3:22 to Revelation 22:16 the word "church" doesn't appear anywhere in those 18 + chapters. Why? Because the "church" is gone! The Lord is not looking for a "bride" that is beaten up through the tribulation, but one who has "prepared" for His coming. It is my hope, prayer, and belief that even those who don't believe in a pre-trib rapture will still be taken out of here. We're not saved because we believe in a rapture, but simply because we have placed our faith in Him alone.
Right on!
Never hold up a preacher or a teacher too high because "no one" is perfect in their theology. Even the best have not always been right. That is the reason that GOD tells us to read His Word for ourselves. 1st Peter 1:20- Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private (one man) interpretation.

Brethren honestly to say I'm just a simple believer not a teacher pastor or anyone in the five fold ministry. But I personally believed that for a single teacher to mastered all the teachings of the Bible is too much, but God has distributed it to each member of the body, find it where God has bestowed this clear understanding of this specific topic. Perry STONE has 180,000 study hours of the Lords appearing, rupture, second coming. Brother Andrew has done the best for teaching what we are in Christ and so honest to imply that he doesn't have clear view of that topic of rupture.
Perry Stone has the most balance teaching on the Lords appearing, rupture, and second coming. He has 180,000 study hours on this topic. I watched many of his videos and compared it to many teachers of this topic but I'm more convinced of His. Brother Andrew has done the best of teaching us the revelation God gave him on what we are in Christ, our standing before God, how we should value ourselves the way God sees us as His children, and the share of power and authority we have with His Son Jesus. I personally believed that God has distributed to the body of Christ all teachings on the Bible that not a single teacher can mastered it alone. That's why we need to find it to the other parts of the body where God has revealed it. Brother Andrew was so honest to imply that he doesn't know much about this topic, just like EVANGILIST BILLY GRAHAM said to APOSTLE LESTER SUMRAL in their interview. But thank God we as brethren in Christ don't judge each other whenever we have differences in this topic of rupture
He doesn't have much knowledge on the end times if he can't even understand the pre trib rapture! Listen to Andy Woods, a faithful pastor in end times.

When people use the word Rapture, they are referring to1Thessalonians 4:17 the words “caught up”
1Thessalonians 4:16-17 describes
the event
“Caught up, Lord in the air”
You decide if that means Rapture!
Andrew might be thinking across the lines of the pre, mid and post trib theories, that man has evolved.
But to say there is no rapture, read 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Not hard to figure out
He is leading people the wrong direction. JESUS IS COMING SOON!! We need to be looking up and ready for HIS RETURN!!!
I was very relieved to see this video from you. It's hard to find teachers who actually teach the word of God. God bless you and thanks. Pastor Arnold Murray is one of my favorite teachers. He is very schooled on scripture and he is very schooled on Revelation. Give him a listen sometime on the revelation. Thanks again

Rapture is not in the bible. it's not even biblical. Rapture is legal for rape , force , torture.
Not only to I appreciate your view, Andrew, but I especially appreciate your REASON for not teaching on this topic. For over 20 years now, you have been a Joy to me and to many many others in our walk with Jesus!
Matthew 24:29-31 is a separate event from 1st Thessalonians 4:16-18. They’re not the same
What makes you say that? I've studied this thoroughly and believe that all of the "rapture" passages are talking about the second coming.
He said he doesn't believe in rapture. then told a story and never explain why there is no rapture. not even explain 1 Tesalonica 4:16-17. I'm confused.
Andrew Wommack is the teacher that I listen to and relate to more than any other minister.
Something happened yesterday as I got a pop-up on UA-cam that showed me I shouldn’t give my total alliance to anyone but Jesus. Seek God for myself! I still love Andrew and his teaching. Andrew helped get me through the toughest times in my life more than any other teacher.
And this pop up does not affect heaven or hell issues so I’m OK with it. But I totally disagree with him, and I thank God it made me totally dependent on God and no one else.
amen there is a Pre trib Rapture
Amen. Its secondary theology - we can discuss it over dinner at the wedding feast
Perhaps the 'Great falling away' refers to those who believe in the Rapture. And when it does not come there will be a great dissolution in religion.
2 Thessalonians 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;
No the great falling away refers to churches like Joel olsteen and td Jake's. People have itching ears and become lovers of self not lovers of JESUS CHRIST our LORD.
Those who believe this think of the 'great falling away' as the 'great taking out of the way'. I say be ready for anything which means Repentance.
I see a lot falling away now.
Well, I've listened to quite a few of your teachings, and agree in part, but if Arnold fruchtenbaum believes there to be a Harpazo, there is. He is a giant theologian. Also Chuck Missler, whom I have enormous respect believes also.
Rhooth Lutz Chuck Missler explained the three end-time scenarios, to the best of my understanding.. I can recommend his book, Prophecy 20/20 which comprehensively describes the different pre, mid or post tribulation doctrines in detail; he also explains that the early church believed in a pre-tribulation rapture, but it was dismissed by Origen who favoured an allegorical interpretation of the book of Revelation; this continued down through the ages until the nineteenth century. He concludes that all doctrines needed to be examined and then to make your own mind up. Chuck made no apologies for the fact he believed in a pre-tribulation rapture.
Harpazo, which is often translated as rapture does mean to be caught up, but its nature is that of a military seizure or the referencing of the spoils of war. In the context of 1 Thes. 4, being caught up is the seizure of God's people meeting the Lord as He descends and takes unto Himself His spoils of war, being the victory over death. In other words, we who are in Christ are the living victory of Christ over death, which presupposes the resurrection--the heart of 1 Thes 4. This is not contextually an escapism, which is tantamount to a Gnostic dichotomy of spirit over flesh in favor of a heavenly realm. When Christ comes, He comes victoriously and redeems the failure of the Palm Sunday's welcome into Jerusalem, as He brings the New Jerusalem, Heavens, and Earth with Him. In other words, Christ's redemption of creation follows His return and we meet Him as He victoriously arrives, but He aims to stay. Christ's presence then is the completion of making all things new and the union of heaven and earth in Himself--the true Jacob's ladder or bridge between God and creation. This is not a seizure to take us away, but the embrace of us by our victorious King as He returns from battle to His city. We are the welcoming party... The ones with palm branches waving our King in as we go out from the city gates to meet Him. There is absolutely nothing in Scripture saying we're ditching earth for a spell... That is eisegetically read into the Scripture because we aren't doing due diligence with literary context.
@@@paddypace Well said!!!!!
Don’t be confused the second coming from the rapture.
I am happy to hear this. There are a number of mature people of God that say, yes, I used to believe and teach the pretrib rapture (very popular teaching) and now I see it differently. Including Brother Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj. AW puts a different light on it in this video regarding the limitations that the devil has. AW puts the emphasis in the right things, if you do what he teaches (e.g. meditating on the Word of God day & night), you will be as ready for anything that comes your way--> pan-trib, i.e. "however it pans out".
I believe in the rapture, but I do not mind that you do not believe in it.
If he does not believe he is an unbeliever...but than again Andrew and Copeland they are all trying to unite all the churches together including the great harlot of Rev 17
Believing in the rapture or not doesn’t affect you bring a believer in Jesus and being born again.

I dont understand why believers would need to go thru the tribulation.If someone can explain it would be helpful.I just dont understand the point of allowing believers to go thru it.
Willsoon, thank you for your question. No one knows exactly how the End Times will play out, and Andrew does not have very much commentary on this subject. It's not that Andrew discounts the importance of this subject, but he doesn't feel it is an area he has expertise in. He is primarily focused on teaching and preaching the message of the Gospel of grace and faith.
We believe that those who are seeking the Lord with all their hearts have nothing to worry about concerning the Lord's return. They will be caught up with the Lord whenever that happens.

We believers are not going through the tribulation. People who know a lot about this matter agree. Andrew knows a lot about most of the Bible but by his own admission this is not his forte. He should leave this alone and stop misleading people. Some of the people on here are so taken with him on all the great teachings he has they fall for his misunderstood version of the coming of Jesus to gather His Church. Then Jesus comes on a horse with a sword and a name on his thigh that no one knows but him. These are two events. One event is to gather His children and the other is to wage war with Satan, The False Prophet, and the Anti Christ.The tribulation is a 7 year time period and if we knew we were in the Tribulation then we could calculate His return. No one knows when He will return but if we are in the Tribulation we could know. That is one many concepts that point to us going before. Thanks
Great ✝️
Rapture doctrine came from Darby and Scofield. Revelation (of Jesus Christ) has been fulfilled. End of the age was 70AD.
Darby and Scofield were two con men. And dont forget Clarence Larkin, the man who drew up all the complex diagrams. It was all Zionist propaganda from the start. Racist to its core, right out of the pits of hell
Can you please do a teaching on the Rapture? I would like to understand what you are saying a little more clearly. Thank you
Of course we want the rapture to escape, it's Biblical......"Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.for, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain." ..Isaiah 26 vs 20 ans 21...
Good quote.
Indignation is the wrath, and wrath isn't tribulation.
Rapture is most certainly not a biblical event..... Its a man made event, which was concocted during the Albury Circle and Lady Powerscourt conferences which were held in the late 1820s and early 1830s.... Go .... Read it for yourself.... If you proclaim it, you should at least understand its origin
this is what we're experiencing right now.
@impasable we'll meet in the clouds , see ya buddy
Sorry Andrew but there are plenty of verses in the bible that support the idea of a pre-tribulation rapture. It is the blessed hope and I don't believe this as some idea to somehow escape what is coming upon the earth but I believe it because there are quite a few passages in scripture that clearly support the idea that the coming of Jesus to receive the saints unto Himself and the second coming at the end of the tribulation period are two very different events. There are many examples I could quote but if the rapture and the second coming are one event that occurs at the end of the tribulation how do you explain the following verses. Matthew 24 verses 36 to 44 ? All of this verses clearly speak of the rapture take verse 44 were Jesus says. Therefore you also be ready for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. If both events are one and the same surely we would know
the timing of His coming straight after the 3 and a half years tribulation period so were is the imminence in that. Another point is the fact that Jesus in verses 37 to 39 compares the days of His coming to the days of Noah in that people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in to marriage hardly the scenario you would contemplate towards the end of the tribulation. This implies normality and people going about their business as usual. Do you really think this will be the norm during that awful time ? There are many more arguments I could present in favour of the pre-trib rapture but suffice to say that in the book of Revelation as from Chapter 4 onwards the church is not mentioned anymore. I have seen your programmes on the God channel many times and followed your teachings on healing so I have a big respect for you as the man of God that you are but in my humble opinion I just cannot agree with you on this one bro.
I believe there is.
I know there is. The teaching is crystal clear from Scripture. This man doesn't understand his bible.

Thank You Andrew for being strong in the Word of God
Paul said this to The Church
Now we ask you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and OUR assembling to him,
2Th 2:2 that you not be easily shaken from your composure, nor be troubled either by a spirit or by a message or by a letter [alleged to be from us], to the effect that the day of the Messiah has arrived.
Sadly many are ignoring the very Instructions of Paul in regards to the Coming of Christ and OUR being gathered to Christ.
It is extremely dangerous for the Body of Christ to ignore Pauls Clear Instructions.
People are listening to a spirit and a word and a letter that is not from God.
Paul said do not be deceived the Church MUST see two events BEFORE Jesus will come and gather us together to Him.
We all have a Decision Today, do we Trust in the Word of God and what Paul so clearly said or do we ignore the Instructions of God.
Paul said it to the Church when he was alive and it is still what the Word of God is saying today!
2Th 2:3 Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
2Th 2:4 who opposes and who exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God.
2Th 2:5 Do you not remember that while we were still with you, we were saying these things to you?
Paul has warned the Church yet still the Church ignores the Instruction from God.
I Beg you Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Heed the Warning by Paul and Trust in Gods Word!
Please in Love I ask you Please heed the Instructions of Paul and allow Gods Word to have the Authority.
Again thank You
Andrew for being strong in Gods Word
Gospel of John chapter 17, thee prayer of Christ for us. I pray you take them NOT out of this world, but, that you keep them from evil. No rapture.
I don't believe the rapture is necessarily because we want to avoid whole lot of unpleasantness.
If the believers are doing what they should, there will be plenty of persecution before the 70th week.
But, as you say, i think it's better not to focus on it, since you aren't going to really explain anything.
Totally love and respect your ministry, brother.
Plus, living ready, abiding in Him, and allowing what you believe to fuel your life in Christ, is the most important thing.
Do any one understand why there is a tribulation period in the first place. A rapture believer will have a hard time answering this question.

1 Thessalonians 4 is clear…. We escapeGods wrath..notpersecution
Andrew I believe in a loft your teachings, particularly about Healing. However I suggest that you study more thoroughly on the subject of the Rapture. I totally disagree with your teaching on that. For example, you are incorrect on what you said about the book of Revelation - where it mentions the armies that come from the east. The bible says that it is 200, 000, 000 not 100, 000, 000 as you stated. Perhaps you should invest more study time on the topic of the Pre - trrib rapture and you can correct your error. Love you. I pray God reveals the truth about the rapture to you
I disagree with you. How can God abuse His bride?
ANDREW: Rapture is from a Latin word that means "caught up". Being caught up is biblical fact, so the only possible debate is the timing of it: pre, mid, or post, and whether it's part of the second coming, or a separate event. 1 Corinthians 15:50-52 1 Thess. 4:16-17 Matt. ch. 24 .
chadkincham the church is not mentioned after ch.4 in the book of revelations because we are gone! Gods chosen people it mentions in the book of revelations are the Jewish people. And the believers that come to Christ after the rapture which will be a lot of people. They will have to have their heads cut off for not eccepting the mark of the beast.
Rapture is not a biblical term. The term derived from Africa. meaning to rape, take by force. six hundred years ago.
Lol "satan has never done anything perfectly in his life"

Myself, Sheba Ann Yaunan , born and brought up in India. A country which is filled mostly with crowd who are idol worshipers and have pagan religions that is being follwed. Many pagan religions believe in energies or forces around us, inside us which can accomplish great tasks including healing diseases, even raising people from the dead.
The chinese believe in a concept called 'Chi' energy. They believe it's present inside of every human being. So do the hindus believe in the 'Kundalini' shakti (Power) which is present inside every living being. The kundalini shakti can provide man supernatural strength is what I have heard. So, if there's such a power which does not come from the Spirit of God; then where does it come from? If they not come from the Spirit of God then do they come from demons? If Yes, how come these energies are directed to the deseased person and they acquire healing from illness or any negative energies that surround them having demons as it's source? A form of healing practice called Pranic Healing is been rising slowly.
If you could impart your knowledge , wisdom & understanding directed by the Holy Spirit, to me with the Word of God as being the base reference as your answer to my query, it would be really helpful to know.
I want to Thank you for revealing God's face to me through your teachings. Its been 5 years since i have been blessed with His presence in my life every single day , with your teachings that always tends to bring new wrinkle to my brains each time I hear you talk about Him. I still enjoy having personal , intimate relationship with Christ . I want to thank You & I pray that God continues to bless you and your family.
Sheba Yaunan There is a difference between faith healing and divine healing. Prana, Chi , Saktipat, Kundalini are all names for energies that are beyond the physical realm of perception. This does not make them in the league of Holy Spirit, which only comes in relation to Jesus. Remember the magicians around the Pharoah of Egypt could perform many of the same signs that Moses was performing. They could also create serpents and other plagues supernatually. However, they were in opposition to God and his prophet Moses. When Jesus heals, it is through Holy Spirit only and it is to the glory of his Father. You cannot say the same for many avenues of faith healing, which utilize other spirits and are usually associated with some prominent individual, who does not give Jesus the glory.
Thank you so much for your reply. I had learnt upto 3 stages of pranic healing , but it was in-between that the Holy Spirit guided to the reality of it and was feeling uneasy to continue as deep within my spirit i knew I wasn't doing it for the glory of God. I really appreciate your answer to my query.
Sheba Yaunan ...other spirits seem to be able to heal but no one can give complete body and mind healing like the Holy Spirit. The devil heals by stealing something else. Jesus came to give life fully. We give glory to God for this reason.
Sheba George : Hi Sheba, good question. Deception is on the rise as we move towards the end of the present world system. Bible says those who worship idols are serving demons. If you read Genesis 6 you can understand that the evil and corruption in Noah's time was because of the giants born to human women and fallen angels. After the flood they lost their physical body but are roaming the earth as evil spirits or demons. They are enticing ignorant deceived people to work for them for earthly benefits. Since their origin is from fallen angels and are here on earth so many centuries, their knowledge level is definitely higher than us humans. So they are able to perform some miracles which is not possible for humans. People who are deceived and guided by these spirits are increasing all over the world and are gaining followers for their deceptive teachings.
For all you pretribers out there, I have to ask you where the rapture takes place according to the way Jesus explained it in Matthew 24?
what makes you think that the CATCHING AWAY has to be in Matthew
24? he's talking to Jews about the second coming/the end of the world
because that was the question asked (of the Jews, more specifically his 12 disciples)
in Matthew 24:3 and according to Luke 22:32 they were not converted (born again Christians)
because Jesus did not go to the Father yet to give the Holy Ghost (in John 16:7)
@@xceptamanbbornagainnokingd5836 Shalom... But there is something detail about those God's Word that should be noticed. It is 1 Thess 4 : 15 {NKJV} says : "For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord.....". Please, noticed the words of "until the coming of the Lord". So i believe that the "rapture" is not "independent event". It is for sure attached to the Second Coming of The Lord Jesus, and it is truly what Andrew means.God Bless you...
@@usernyb123 why do you call me brother in Christ? you don't know me. i could be an archheretic because 1, i preach and teach that the body of Christ goes up before the time of Jacob's trouble. the scriptures rightly divided teach it plainly, and 2, it is obvious that you do not hold to one english bible as God's pure, perfect, inspired bible for the english speaking people.

Jesus is speaking of the end of the Old Covenant, the end of the *_age_* not the end of planet earth.
@@lavieenrose5954 what's the old covenant and the new covenant?
He said and proves he doesn't know Revelation. 100 million, he shorted it by 100 million.
You caught that too?
I agree with you on the rapture. In the scriptures it states; I'm paraphrasing " The trumpet will sound and the living in Christ will be caught up to meet him & the dead in Christ will be raised from the dead frist"

then you don't have the peace of Jesus Christ,
you do not have that perfect peace because you're
ganna have to fear not messing up and taking the mark
and therefore being cast into the lake of fire. when i was first
a Christian, i believed this lie, and when i believed it, there was no real
peace. but after being taught by an actual saved man of how the body
of Christ will NOT suffer through God's wrath on an unbelieving, Christ rejecting
world, i obtained that perfect peace
John 14:27, Philippians 4:7, and every
letter written by Paul to the body of Christ (Romans-Philemon) all starting with
a promise of grace and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ
and Isaiah 26:3

I love you Pastor Womack. I have believed for years that Satan would make much more hay with a pretribulation lie than with simply a second coming of Christ teaching. Though we walk though the valley of the shadow of death we will fear no evil. Thank you for your courage my friend.
Praise God for Andrew!!! Ive never had the Holy Spirit bare witness in my heart of a pre-tribulation rapture.
It really is a tough topic :/ and the different well known Teachers teaching the different views are so confident in what the believe. I think we just have to be careful not to think that EVERY end time/tribulation prophecy is for us in our time. It wouldn't make sense for these prophets to warn their own people of things to come, but not be talking to them... We need to learn what all has NOT happened yet and what we get to look forward to.

I attended a messianic jewish assembly, and the Rabbi said exactly the same thing...NO RAPTURE ... ALSO, I HEARD Pat Robertson say he doesn't believe in the Rapture. I have recently been studying Revelations, and if I spend the next ten YEARS studying Revelations, I don't find any evidence of a Rapture either. I Isaiah talks about both the first and second comings of Christ, but you can't find any indication of a Rapture.
Thank you for bringing balance to this topic.
I respect this preacher,but completely disagree! If there is no rapture or (catching away) explain 1thes.4:16-18??
Disagree✌
You cannot believe in the false doctrine of a rapture and believe in God at same time. Rapture is moot point.
Read Mark 13

Answer this, what does Jesus say about the rapture, without using any teachings or John Darby. (Who got the rapture theory from a teenage girl in 1830, having a fever dream, who recanted after the fever broke. ) again using only the teachings of Jesus.
Enoch in the bible is a foreshadow of the rapture.
Amen sir! 👍
