The sword coming out of His mouth as He rides the White horse covered in blood is the spoken word of God, the Bible makes reference to that in many places where it likens the spoken word of God to the sword.
Isaiah 55:11 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
God called me over 20 years ago to memorize Revelation, as encouraged by a longtime faith mentor and church leader. I realized upon doing so that Revelation reads like a drama, and it prepared me for all that is unfolding in our days. I like the 'topography' reference ...it is so important to just get into Revelation and 'drive around' getting to know the landscape, and the Holy Spirit does the rest, bringing it all together.
The celestial event in Revelation 12 occurred on 9/11/3bc. The scripture has a double meaning. Jesus was born on 9/11/3bc. God out that in there for a reason. Ernest L Martin wrote a book on it 15 years before the towers were hit
Psalm 71:1-4 In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame. Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me. Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress. Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Thank God for your teaching and your heart for the Lord. I pray that the Lord protects and comforts Joel's family. I haven't heard how Joel's wife is doing. May God give them strength in whatever comes their way.
@Steve Short Mark 4:12: "so that, ''they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!''" 2 Corinthians 4:4 New International Version 4 The god(A) of this age(B) has blinded(C) the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ,(D) who is the image of God.(E) There is plenty of passages about you in the bible.

Excellent "recap"/re-emphasis (especially on the mysterious aspects - personally, I like to also think that there is a strategic purpose/practicality to it on His part; how cunning and exquisite His sovereignty is. Beyond amazing.) Blessing to all of you!
I totally agree that the exodus from Egypt and the Book of Exodus is a very good example of what and how Revelation is unfolding in the end of days. I do think however that it will happen more quickly than we may imagine, especially given the Lord's direction in Matthew 24 that unless He "cuts these days short " no one would survive.
Well said, but keep in mind that Jesus himself said that the end of the age would be like the days of Noah, which is to say that he did NOT say they would be like the days of Moses and/or the Exodus.
Travelling Light Pro...To survive for what?? Is there going to be humans living here during the millennium?? Don't we all need to die before we can be resurrected?? Even if we are changed in a twinkling of the eye; that's dieing from mortality!!!...??? 🤔 I
Matthew 24 is specifically a prophecy of a now & not yet... now in that Jerusalem was destroyed, with "no stone being left unturned" - Just as Jesus had said. The end of the church age is yet to come.
Always enjoy the teachings , So blessed you guys share this with us. Thank you for all you guys are doing as well and that we can have a part in the work. May God's hand continue being this Ministry and the work of it.
You don't seem to know about the word of God do.Have u ever read the Bible. From the begining.John 1:1 In the begining is the word and the word of God.And the word of God. The Bible also say beware of sheep in wool clohing they come as sheep and it also say there are wolf in sheep clothing.A lot fellow the wrong sheep. The Bible also say can a blind leading the blind yes or no. The Question is why .Explain.
I'm not exactly an internet Guru... when I get home I will have my wife see if she can find a physical address PO box etc., so I can donate.. love you guys,GOD bless
@@seasquawker the great falling away is Israel’s apostasy after they are given covenant of peace through Prince David when the whole House of Israel is resurrected and brought into their land out of their graves. This event is literal and begins the 70th week. A time of Jacob’s trouble, is just that, Israel’s tribulation for repentance. Read the whole book of Hosea. Read Ezekiel 17. Read Zechariah 11, that’s after the two sticks are joined in Ezekiel 37. He breaks his covenant with the provoking house of Israel when they follow after the beast. If you are of the called out believers then you are grafted I to Israel and must partake in her Covenant’s of the Most High YHWH. The idolatry is making an image to the beast. Shalom
My friends read this and act upon it I beg you. Prepare food and supplies for your loved ones in the amount of seven years worth so you can avoid the calamity and the mark of the beast to come. God has shown me to prepare I pray you all do the same.
With all the different interpretations- how is one to pick or know the correct one? It says is scripture “Everyone feels that he is right in his own eyes”. It is Spiritually discerned.
The holy spirit is our helper to understand and the word of God bible is our guide to truth and it is the truth. The word became flesh and dwell among us. Jesus christ is the way the truth and the life.
The verse you reference in context has to do with sin, not interpretation of prophecy. Even so, I agree that we should not think we got it all figured out, because chances not one person does.
Perhaps the better question is "WHY do we want to pick or know the correct one?" If the answer is "so that we can be ready for His return" then that is a matter of heart preparation where we come to a point where we don't love ANY person, place, or thing more than HIM (not even ourselves so that we won't shrink from death/martyrdom) - and the correct interpretation becomes much less important. If the answer is something about simply "wanting to be right," then He will resist the proud and give grace to the humble.
@@gtw4546 your reply is packed with brutal truth yet, there is a reason to seek understanding of clear interpretation when your goal is not only to have answers for yourself but to be correct in your teaching to others. None of us want to misguide someone else. I personally have an unbelieving child. I have been taught there is a rapture prior to the first seal and have repeated this teaching to my child. Her response was, "I will believe when the rapture happens". So, if I have taught her incorrectly, and the rapture is something that determines her coming to acceptance of Jesus based on something I taught her, then Im partially responsible for causing her to stumble. For me, it has nothing to do with pride or wanting to be "right", other than wanting to be "right" in how I guide others when teaching them about my beliefs. This is why Im seeking answers from more than one source and gaining knowledge and understanding from different perspectives. Its important to me to grow in this way and to pray for discernment as I do. My understanding of scripture is that we are held accountable at a higher degree of accountability if we "teach" others. I take that seriously. I love my child and if all I have as a way to help her navigate through the "tribulation" is journals left behind with teachings of what is to come because we have "raptured" then I want to leave accurate teachings. And if we are to go through the tribulation rather than rapture, I want to also prepare my child for that so that she doesnt stay in her unbelief because something she was taught never came to pass and therefor she discards all other biblical teachings as also false.
@@lollisnider8922 Wanting to rightly guide others in the faith is a good reason. What do you think your witness to your child would have been if you were a believer in the Middle East, Africa, or Asia where so many believers are being persecuted and martyred for their faith? I know it is only speculation, but I think it is an important question to consider here in the West. How long will we be spared the suffering that so many believers both historically and also at the present time must face? Even asking that question in the privacy of our own hearts may change the way we live now and improve our witness both in the West and globally.

Yes it is totally ridiculous how some people will say such idiotic things his last name is Trump but how that's has anything to do with the last Trump of God IDK.
Keep in mind that "Chronology" means "time", not "number" - ie: yesterday and today are chronological - random numbers are not, unless a timeline is either stated or inherent: we can assume the second bowl comes after the first bowl (although it might not), but the third bowl has no necessary relationship in any way to the fourth trumpet (for instance)
Dear Mr Narrator, i'm enjoying your presentations. What is the tattoo on your left arm, and the number. Much of what u r saying seems logical. i'm at the halfway point and find the bowls after the 7th trump very interesting.
" Repent is the START ....... " Repent simply means ; rethought , rethink , with great anguishing in despair , change in the heart of mind ... until you " Repent " you will not turn any direction , you will only continue in and on your current way . If not ..., then PERISH ... Perish simply means ; to be rendered not usable for the intended purpose ... Yahusha said to him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. MARANATHA ....... The Repent Guy
Hi and thank you for these studies they have been so helpful! Somehow I've made it this far in to the study without catching this detail, I'm a little confused. I thought that the seven seals along with the tribulation and Jacob's trouble was 7 years, with the last three and a half years being God's wrath. So even Jacob's trouble is 3 and 1/2 years? Where did the 7 years come from then? I must have missed an episode. 😬🙏🏼
significant to me has always been the message in typology from the book of Exodus That the Egyptians who followed the example of the Hebrews and put the Lamb's blood on the door as Israel did. Their destiny from that time forward was the same as Israels. They didn't get raptured out of the wilderness while Israel went through it. Also I have counted 19 times in the Torah where God said directly or indirectly that the same laws applys to the Gentiles who are in the camp of Israel as native Jews. see Eph 2:12 nd 3:6 and Jhn 10:16 as well as Isa 56:8 One new man. Also Ezek 25:8 denying the chosen-ness of Israel.
Some things bothered me: 1. You went for 45 min just preparing your audience for your "coming?" approach but gave weak and poor argumentation to back it and at the end it sounded, at least to me, empty and void. 2. You should count how many times in this 45 minutes you insinuated "formal bible studies" bring confusion and denigrated theological scholarship and formal biblical studies. Any prejudice about learning right doctrine and right Bible interpretation through formal studies? Are you fearful of the effects of scholarship, correct exegesis and correct hermeneutics learning? Do not missunderstand me, if I am here writing this is because I respect what you are doing and it is not the first time I watch what you have to say. This is the first time I comment thou. God Bless and fruitful coming sessions.
Dalton could you please list me some verses I can give my family that shows the rapture isn't pretrib? I know the Matthew 24:29-31 but I need more. Thank you so much!
In the 6th chapter of John's gospel Jesus says three times " I will raise him up at the last day". In the parable of the wheat and tares the tares are gathered into bundles to burn in the fire then the wheat is gathered. In the story of lot the angels drag them out the same day the fire falls. These three still won't convince them. Religious traditions are hard to break. The traditions of men make the word of God of no effect.
@@darrellblanchard2362 I agree and thank you so much. I've used these to try and reach my family but yes they do just say I'm twisting scriptures. I was raised up on this as well but I came out of it when I started reading myself. It was a shellshock to me then. But I knew in my heart and spirit I had just found the truth. Thank you.
@@martienskruger108 Yes I've watched it 2x now. But I was just looking to get some verses that I could copy into a document to show my family who won't listen. Just wanted to source as many as I can.
@@SM-yq1dr It is an eye-opener. The origin of the pre-trib says alot and the part that if you should study the Word without the knowing of a pre-trib rapture, you would not come to a pre-trib conclusion but rather to a rapture that occures with the second coming of Christ. Also that pre-trib is more of an escapist rather than an endurance and engagement teaching. There is a couple of verses that the pre-tribs like to use and their is something like four of them that they do use and hammer on. There is a couple of other verses like the verses in John 16 where Jesus says, I will raise him up at the Last day but there is also verses where Paul prepares us to be strong in the time of tribulation. The pre-trib gives a kind of depressed feeling and a cry of desperation in which we just want to get out of here, out of this horrible world and I wish it will happen today whereas the rapture at the Last day gives us a larger hope, a type of a desire to share in the suffering of our Lord. Have you watched the ballads of Revelation and Sheep amongst wolves? Revelation 6:11 whith the 5th seal where the martyrs are given white robes and told that it is just for a little while longer until those who are slain as they were slain that their blood will be avenged. I downloaded the individual songs of the ballad of Revelation that I listen to regular, and find them very inspiring. To find more verses, there is only one way, and that is to study the Word and to pray. Thats what I do. A pre-trib is like a flat earth. It takes away so many dimensions of reality and the world becomes over simplified.
Get right with God friends, don't wait another day! About 500 prophecies fulfilled hundreds and thousands of years in advance prove the Bible is God's word. Believe and repent, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4!
I think Dalton and Joel are on target, the book of Revelations talks about,briefly, the abomination is in Turkey. Dalton touches on , The Ottoman Empire will arise again with the Turkish Caliphate. The Temple is built yet. But, the stage is being set for all these things.
Still very confusing. What if the book is divided in two and the second half follows the same chronology as the first, that in my estimation would clear up a lot of confusion.
I keep it simple! 1/ The 7 Seals of the Scroll and the very Scroll itself are just that, 7 Seals and a Scroll that is opened so that Events can be seen! 2/ 7 Angels with 7 Trumpets and when the Angels blow those Trumpets Events take place! 3/ 7 Angels with 7 Bowls of Thumos and when the Angels pour out a Bowl of Thumos events take place! The Seals and the Scroll ARE NOT the Trumpets! The Seals and the Scroll ARE NOT the Bowls! The Trumpets ARE NOT the Bowls! Each of the Seals and the Trumpets and the Bowls are very Unique BUT are NOT all Seals and are NOT all Trumpets and are NOT all Bowls! What we do see is that the Events that happen at the Climax of the Seals is the same as the Events at the End of the Trumpets and the same as the Events at the end of the Bowls! They all Climax with the COMING of Jesus and the RESURRECTION and that Day of Christs ORGE taking place! They all Align Perfectly with what happens in Revelation 19 and 20! Revelation is just like all other Prophetic Books! Each Chapter or various Chapters keep on Expounding on and Building on what has already been shown! All of Revelation speaks of that Final Period of Time that must exist before our Lords COMING will be near! All of Revelation Climaxes with the COMING of Jesus and the Binding of Satan and the First Resurrection and the Destruction of the Beast and that Day of Christs ORGE taking place at Armageddon! Simple really!
Which one? The ‘Bible’...which one? Whose collection of SCROLLS is legit?...only the ‘offIcial’ group of scrolls sanctioned by an English monarch a few hundred years ago? Why only those?
@@tonysmario817 as those scriptures say, when you receive additional books Read Them and Compare Them and Pray and ask God and Jesus Christ to Reveal the Truth to you !

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. {Revelation 19:7}👈 ^ After Armageddon “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” “And, behold, I come quickly; and my *reward* is with me, to give *every man* according as his work shall be.” {Revelation 22:11-12}
You said that the global body of Christ at the end of the age is going to be mostly young people. What in the Bible gives you that idea? Will there be no older believers living on the earth at that time?

@@martienskruger108 One letter to all seven churches, a different message to each church on the specifics applicable to their status at the time. The whole book of Revelation is one long letter to all seven churches. Check Ch 1:4, 1:11.
@@colinloechel8378 The book is written to the church and in the book is seven letter each directed to one of the seven churches in Asia. It is not seven letters individualy written. They are all in one book and is refered to as the seven letters to the seven churches as it is explained in the book of Revelation. Sorry, but I dont see what your aiming at.
@@martienskruger108 Each church received all seven messages, so they knew what God was saying not only to themselves in correction and in praise, but also to each of the other six churches. Imagine for a moment that Jesus sent letter to the church to your church and the six other churches nearest to you, containing both criticism and praise, so you and your congregation would know what he said about the other six churches, as well as what he said about your congregation. If you check the two verses I mentioned you will see that it was one letter sent to all of them. It’s not necessarily a big deal, but Jesus had reasons for making sure all seven churches got the same letter. That’s worth thinking about I believe.
@@colinloechel8378 I agree with you. I have read the seven letters multiple times and find there is a truth with encouragement, a wrong, a blessing, and a reward that is applicable to every individual believer. But there is more and is as if it has been directed as it speaks directly to the specific church. Thank you for your reply.
Sheesh another post tribber? The church is in heaven celebrating redemption before the very first seal is opened. Why would the Lord punish the righteous alongside the unrighteous?
Amen Mike Bremer, the Destructive Pre Trib Fable has destroyed the Truth of what Jesus and Paul said! It has even destroyed the True Teaching that Paul spoke about the Harpazo!
I know one thing for sure is that God doesn't send out beggers for money so beggers for money to be able to preach gods word,. Balam could curse or bless for money , Satan step's in now balik summons balam to curse the chosen people of god Get the picture now.
Jesus died for us on the cross and all the believers in Jesus accepting he is our salvation/saviour and King will be kept from the trials. The tribulation is brought forth to actually bring people to our Lord, so why on earth would the already faithful believers have to go through the trials?????? Why does his faithful Bride have to suffer for seven years??????????

History lesson The year was 538 A.D. and the Emperor of Rome was Justinain, and the General of his army was Belsarius, who was fighting the Ostrogoths, one of the ten remnant kingdoms after 476 A.D. at the gates of Rome. The Bishop of Rome was Silvanus, who was said to be a man of God, but he refused to open the gates to either army. Then the queen, who was said to be a devoted Christain, was petitioned by Justinain and Belsarius to persuade the bishop to open the city gates, which he did, but he was unaware of the plan that Justinain and his General made previously to arrest him and replace him with one who was more like them. History tells that they did just that, and also placed upon bishop Vigilius the Roman emperor's sceptre and the title of Pontifex Maximus, which they all claimed from emperor Constantine. This is the account of the revealing of the son of perdition, (and the removal of the restrainer) and birth of the Little Horn antichrist power. The *Ostrogoths* the *Heruli* and the *Vandals* where all exterminated. This 'little' horn is the same beast that came up from out of the sea, and the woman (Jezebel) who rides the seven headed beast in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. She would be diverse from all others in that she claimed the power of both church and state for one thousand, two hundred and threescore years. She also persecuted the saints of Christ during that time we know of today, as the dark ages. It took another emperor in Napoleon, and another General, to take back the temporal sword, that Justinain had bestowed on her in 538 A.D. Exactly one thousand, two hundred and threescore years later in 1798 A.D. which is the same as a time, and a times, and the dividing of time (a half of time), which is the same as 42 months. Seven times in the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation are we given this prophecy of the time of the Little Horn and the time of His two witnesses, (the old and the new covenant) the word of God. God does not want us to get this wrong, for if we don't know who the antichrist beast is, then we will except his mark of authority. This is when the beast was put into captivity, and prophecy tells us that this wound will be healed, and after the deadly wound is healed, he will ascend out of the bottomless pit (resurrected from the dead) and go into perdition.
Nope, a bit far fetched. The little horn, the abomination and the rider of the first seal is the same. It could not have happened the because of the figtree prophecy which only occure in 1948 with the Jews returning to Israel. Then comes the the part of the third temple, the last week or seven days of the prophecy if Daniel and the fake peace treaty which will conme to an end in the middel of the week, which is the three and a half days or the time, times and half a time, and then the part of the abomination of desolation who will stand in the holy of holies and declares himself to be God. Nice hypothesis but there is alot of pieces that do not fit into the proposed theory. Best you read the prophecies of Daniel, the book of Revelation, the words of Jesus in Matthew 24, the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 15, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Ezekiel 37 with the prophecy of the valley of the bones.

@@martienskruger108 The seven headed beast of Revelation 17: "Here is the mind which has wisdom" The seven heads are symbolic of seven kingdoms, starting with the beast of Daniel chapter 7 1st < Babylon 2nd < Medo-Persia 3rd < Greece 4th < Pagan Rome 5th < Papal Rome; the little horn ("that was" & "is not" & "yet is") 6th < "one is" ^ The woman that rides the beast is in captivity at the time of John's vision, AFTER receiving the deadly wound from the (atheist) beast from the bottomless pit [Rev 11:7]. This is the beast of THE TIME AND PLACE of John's vision IN THE WILDERNESS. (Meaning that John is in the wilderness in his vision and not physical on Patmos, and he sees a beast that would come up from out of this wilderness. Read Job 38:26.) The 7th < "is not yet come" At the time of John's vision in the wilderness, this head of the beast was yet to come; this is the beast from out of the earth [Rev 13:11]; (And he shall exercise all of the power of the first beast...) when this beast will speak like a dragon. This beast must continue a short time, as per the others before him. I believe by the testimony of Jesus, that we are now living in that "short time". The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. {Revelation 17:8} :11...even he is the eighth, AND IS OF THE SEVEN, and ascends out of the bottomless pit and goes into perdition. --There are seven heads at the time of John's vision, five kings/heads/beast are fallen, so this eighth is of the five kingdoms...."that was"...."and is not"...."yet is" AND received a deadly wound; AND his deadly wound was healed. This wound is the loss of her (the woman/church that rides the beast.) temporal sword (also her captivity), which is the earthly secular world kingdom. This is the image of the beast (that great city), who like Babylon of antiquity, who thinks to usurp church and state craft. The number eight is a metaphor for the resurrection. The eighth is resurrected from a former head of the seven; the 5th head that received a deadly wound. (When he shall go into perdition: this will be the final dispensation of this beast with seven heads, that is a metaphor for satan.) Jesus; (The resurrection; Jn 11:25) Ἰησοῦς/Iēsous = 888 by counting the letter values of the Greek transliteration; I(10), E(8), S(200), O(70), U(400), S(200). In antiquity the mountain was not only a metaphor for a kingdom, but it was also symbolic of the head of a (river) dragon that was symbolic of a river that flows out from a mountain, after the spring thaw and overflowing its banks, spreading out in the form of the dragon's tail. The color is scarlet because it is symbolic of the blood of the saints of the Lord. A woman in prophecy is always a metaphor for a church, in this case (Jezebel) it is the fallen temple of God. The false prophet, a lamb (Christ like) with two horns, and/but will speak like a dragon (a wolf in sheep's clothing), will be the beast (from out of the earth ... the USA) that will make an image unto the first beast from out of the sea, who received a deadly wound and his deadly wound was healed. The two horns are a metaphor for two (equal) kingdoms in one, church and state craft. Medo-Persia also is expressed as having two horns [Dan 8:3], but one was higher, (Persia) and eventually usurps the other. This is the image of the first beast from out of the sea (Papal Rome). Once the wall of separation of church and state is lost, then will the second beast from out of the earth become the image of the first beast, who claims the authority of both church and state. Even so, come Lord Jesus. Amen.
@@larrybedouin2921 @Larry Bedouin and what about the return of the Jews to Israel and the birth of the state of Israel in 1948. God did not throw His people away. He made an everlasting covenent with them even after the birth of Christ, His crucifixion. By Faith, just as Abraham received righteousness, so we to as gentiles have been included into the people of God with our faith in Jesus Christ. This is the one new man. But through the fall of the chosen people of God salvation has come to the gentiles and to provoke them to jealousy. There is a time when the Jewish nation will cry unto Jesus, and that will be with the great tribulation that shall befall them midway of the last week which Daniel spoke of. The 1260years is not a period that started somewhere in the 500ad's. Thats way to early brother. Thanks for your point of view. This all is qhat shall happen in the last or the latter days. Your whole argument of the one new man, and with your quotatiin of certain verses like, Jesus said I am the Truth and the Way and the Life is all very important and relevant verses that any believer should have in heart and in believe dor salvation but it has nothing to do with your hypothesis on the 1260 year period that starts in the 500ad's. Thanks for your reply. I will read your reply again. But there is a lot you say that is not relevant. As for one, the first seal with the rider on a white horse who comes with false cries of peace have not yet occured.
I love you brother, but if you interpret this book from an earthly, present time and carnal perspective, you gonna end up with some kind of end time prophecy. The only way to understand this book is to call in the help of the Holy Spirit of Truth and Revelation. By taking a spiritual and symbolic perspective, you will see that this book is all about of the salvation of each of us. How it starts with unsealing (recognizing the Lord as our saviour), the trumpets ( how the Holy Spirit takes you out of captivity of Babylon) and the bowls ( the wrath on the false beliefs in each of us). At the end ,each of us can become the bride to be reinstated in the flesh with the Lord, the pure unconditional love! Then ‘it’s done’ !!! Hallelujah 🙏
The parable of the talents Read the Matthew 25:14-30. Bible verse talk about false prophet. Rev 13:1:18.I you don't understand the Bible or scripture that what the Bible for. say is the true word of God.
Why are you so sure you're correct in your interpretation of Revelation? Why not another, who also believes they are correct? Your videos are interesting and certainly have me digging into God's Word. So do David's videos on Revelation: ua-cam.com/play/PLY8Cq8enpfGfD_9b9cfcgCWhdYWUNNZq7.html Considering both views (if you've listened to David's commentaries), and that you both are Christians, how does a believer discern which view is correct (as both views are correct in challenging the false pre-tribulation rapture).
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. {Galatians 3:28} Wherefore remember, that ye being IN TIME PAST Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the COMMONWEALTH of ISRAEL, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: BUT now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh *by the blood of Christ* For he is our peace, who hath made both [Jew and Gentile] one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments [not the ten commandments] contained in ordinances; for to make in himself *of twain* ONE NEW MAN, so making peace; And that he might reconcile BOTH unto God in ONE BODY by the cross, *having slain the enmity thereby* And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but *fellowcitizens* with the saints, and of the household of God; [The commnwealth of Israel ... Jeshurun] {Ephesians 2:11-19} Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: {Acts 10:34} Again... But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God. {Romans 2:10-11} Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For *they are not all Israel* which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but *the children of the promise* are counted for the seed. {Romans 9:6-8} Now we, [Galatians] brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. {Galatians 4:28} For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon 👉the Israel [Jacob] of God. {Galatians 6:15-16}
The seven heads are symbolic of seven kingdoms, starting with the beast of Daniel chapter 7 1st < Babylon 2nd < Medo-Persia 3rd < Greece 4th < Pagan Rome 5th < Papal Rome; the little horn ("that was" & "is not" & "yet is") 6th < "one is" ^ The woman that rides the beast is in captivity at the time of John's vision, AFTER receiving the deadly wound from the (atheist) beast from the bottomless pit [Rev 11:7]. This is the beast of THE TIME AND PLACE of John's vision IN THE WILDERNESS. (Meaning that John is in the wilderness in his vision and not physical on Patmos, and he sees a beast that would come up from out of this wilderness. Read Job 38:26.) The 7th < "is not yet come" At the time of John's vision in the wilderness, this head of the beast was yet to come; this is the beast from out of the earth [Rev 13:11]; (And he shall exercise all of the power of the first beast...) when this beast will speak like a dragon. This beast must continue a short time, as per the others before him. I believe by the testimony of Jesus, that we are now living in that "short time". The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. {Revelation 17:8} :11...even he is the eighth, AND IS OF THE SEVEN, and ascends out of the bottomless pit and goes into perdition. --There are seven heads at the time of John's vision, five kings/heads/beast are fallen, so this eighth is of the five kingdoms...."that was"...."and is not"...."yet is" AND received a deadly wound; AND his deadly wound was healed. This wound is the loss of her (the woman/church that rides the beast.) temporal sword (also her captivity), which is the earthly secular world kingdom. This is the image of the beast (that great city), who like Babylon of antiquity, who thinks to usurp church and state craft. The number eight is a metaphor for the resurrection. The eighth is resurrected from a former head of the seven; the 5th head that received a deadly wound. (When he shall go into perdition: this will be the final dispensation of this beast with seven heads, that is a metaphor for satan.) Jesus; (The resurrection; Jn 11:25) Ἰησοῦς/Iēsous = 888 by counting the letter values of the Greek transliteration; I(10), E(8), S(200), O(70), U(400), S(200). In antiquity the mountain was not only a metaphor for a kingdom, but it was also symbolic of the head of a (river) dragon that was symbolic of a river that flows out from a mountain, after the spring thaw and overflowing its banks, spreading out in the form of the dragon's tail. The color is scarlet because it is symbolic of the blood of the saints of the Lord. A woman in prophecy is always a metaphor for a church, in this case (Jezebel) it is the fallen temple of God. The false prophet, a lamb (Christ like) with two horns, and/but will speak like a dragon (a wolf in sheep's clothing), will be the beast (from out of the earth ... the USA) that will make an image unto the first beast from out of the sea, who received a deadly wound and his deadly wound was healed. The two horns are a metaphor for two (equal) kingdoms in one, church and state craft. Medo-Persia also is expressed as having two horns [Dan 8:3], but one was higher, (Persia) and eventually usurps the other. This is the image of the first beast from out of the sea (Papal Rome). Once the wall of separation of church and state is lost, then will the second beast from out of the earth become the image of the first beast, who claims the authority of both church and state. Even so, come Lord Jesus. Amen.
Revelation cannot be understood chronologically...how can anything follow ‘every mountain moved, the heavens unrolled like a scroll, and EVERYONE hiding in the rocks from HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE’? Clearly the first 6 seals contain the complete outline. Revelation is like a picture made of many transparencies...and we cannot be sure we have all the transparencies or that they are correlated correctly...we must understand the outline in the first six seals to place the other details described in the various visions. John says, first i saw this, next i saw this...he does NOT say, first this happens, and next this happens.

I agree 100% with you Tony! The 7 Seals that Open the Scroll so that all that is in the Scroll can be seen and Climax with Christs COMING and that Day of ORGE are just that! The 7 Angels with 7 Trumpets are NOT the Scroll and are NOT the 7 Seals BUT they show what must be taking place when the Scroll is opened out and they Climax with Jesus COMING and the RESURRECTION and that Day of ORGE! The 7 Angels with the 7 Bowls of THUMOS are NOT the Scroll and and are NOT the Seals and are NOT the 7 Trumpets BUT they show again what must ba happening on the earth when the Scroll is opened and again CLIMAX with the Day of Christs COMING and that Day of ORGE! We then read all through Revelation about the many Characters and Places and Events that again will be happening during that time when the Scroll is opened and the events are happening Revelation 19 and 20 speak of that Climactic Day of Christs COMING and the Binding of Satan and the First Resurrection and the Destruction of the Beast and that Day of ORGE! Revelation CANNOT be Chronological! 1/ The 7 Seals ARE Chronological Yes! 2/ The 7 Trumpets ARE Chronological Yes! 3/ The 7 Bowls of Thumos ARE Chronological Yes! BUT the 7 seals, 7 trumpets and 7 bowls are NOT Chronological! When the 6th Seal is OPENED we know 100 % that the 1260 Days of Great Tribulation has ENDED which means EVERY SINGLE Person and EVERY SINGLE EVENT and EVERY SINGLE place and EVERY SINGLE Prophecy regarding that 1260 Days of Great Tribulation has been Fulfilled and Completed and should not be spoken of again in the Following Chapters! BUT what we do SEE is that all of the People and Places and Events that are Related to that 1260 Days of Great Tribulation CONTINUE to be spoken of and CONTINUE to be expounded on! The TRUTH is that Revelation is Overlaying!
Tony, I agree with you. What I see in the first 4 seals is nothing more than us being told, once again, how God is going to deliver judgement. How many times in the Old Testament did He say to the people through His prophets that He was going to raise up a king or kingdom who was coming to destroy them? That many would die by the sword? That many would die by the starvation? That the pestilence would cause many to die? That if you try to escape, wild animals will tear you apart? There is nothing "new" in the first 4 Seals. The 5th Seal declares when the martyrdom ends and God is in control of that. The 6th Seal is that HE IS COMING TOO in righteous judgement. We think earthly tribulations are bad, but wait until He comes and gives out some Isaiah 63:1-6 retribution on this world. It's the Game Plan. The rest are the details. Gotta have a blueprint before you build a skyscraper. But for me, Seal 7 is still the puzzler. Silence. I've got a lot of books on Revelation and not a single one has anything concrete and some just give it pass. Another salient but often overlooked item is that the Lamb did not get the book until the Father gives it to Him. Who knows the day and hour? Only the Father.
This is the new world. It has changed already. But people have not changed. Perhaps you have not really changed, except in superficial ways. People do not know they are living in a different world-a new world, a world that will be much more disorderly, a world where nature will change the terms of engagement in subtle and dramatic ways, a world that could have been foreseen and has been foreseen by certain prescient individuals, a world for which humanity is sadly unprepared and still does not recognize. - From the book The New World by Marshall Vian Summers
@@donaldcannon6113 The planet has changed, the climate has changed, we are running out of resources, financial storms will come and people are full of anxiety, distrust and anger. This is the new world i observe. What you wrote might also be true, but I am not well informed about it.

Joel is a fool who opened his commentary on revelation by claiming that rev 1 shows us, ‘john, missing his friend jesus...very old...and being so happy to see his friend again.’ Go ahead and read rev 1, and tell me that’s what it says??? We have no idea how old john is, or why he’s on patmos...he says nothing about missing jesus (of course john did not know anyone named jesus)...and what he describes seeing is, one LIKE the son of man’...and the encounter is HORRIFYING, that john falls at the feet of this vision ‘as dead’.
@@tonysmario817 wow..you apologize for calling him a fool then turn around and call him a satan??!! Seriously? That's immature and evil. If you think you have a better interpretation of Revelation then maybe you should have a UA-cam channel or ask Joel to debate you..but if you are calling yourself a believer in Messiah then conduct yourself as one according to the Most High and His word.. don't give us that love Elohim a bad name and don't disrespect the brethren. Oh by the way you said John didn't know anyone named Jesus? Where in scripture does it say that?
Joel publicly called Chris White's teaching Satanic because he taught that the Antichrist would deceive the Jews into believing he was the Messiah, just as Jesus said in John 5. It's disingenuous to say that they are not promoting a specific view. The Islamic Antichrist view was practically invented by Joel Richardson singlehandedly, and is a 21st century novelty made popular by the political sentiment of the war on terror. Jesus and Paul taught clearly that the greatest enemy of the Gospel was the Jews, and would be in the last days. Ezekiel 43 makes it clear that the Jews lead the apostasy.
This is true yes... which is why a huge push to remove Paul has been happening for yeeeaaars. Very insightful brother. I have also noticed this. Scripture mentions how they will bring us before the synagogues and deliver us up to be afflicted. The sad reality is this, the Jews are in apostacy, many Christians seem to want to worship them and not Jesus and it's very strange... i think it stems from our love for them, which is very good... but we ought not forget that they are in pretty much open rebellion against God right now... they largely view us as enemies, at least the "elite" ones do, and they have been a very LARGE part of the reason communism exists, they are our enemies for the Gospel sake and Beloved for the Fathers sake. The whole thing reminds me of a woman who went astray from her man, and out of vitriol shacked up with the bad boy, and only ended up hurting herself. But God in all of his mercy and grace still allows them back into the fold when they accept Jesus IS the Christ.
@@EQOAnostalgia Yup. But in the last days, people will gather around the Jews, as it is written in Zechariah: Zec 12:5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts THEIR God. Most people don't realize that the "governors of Judah" can only be the 10 kings. Because the Jews are ordained to be under Gentile sovereignty until Messiah sets up his Millennial kingdom. People don't want to accept that the Antichrist will be a Hebrew, of the tribe of Dan, who is prophesied to "Judge Israel as one of the tribes of Israel." This was not fulfilled in Samson, because Samson never led Israel or served as a judge. He just died, and took a bunch of Philistines with him. No, Dan is the antithesis of Judah and was understood by the early church to be where the Antichrist would come from. The Danites left Israel and mingled in with the Greeks, which means they are in Greece and Turkey. But one day, one will emerge and lead the 10 kings to give him power. Then he will set up a buffer state around Israel to 'keep the peace' between the Islamic powers and Israel, and then, claim to be Messiah after he has subdued Syria, Iraq, and Egypt. Only Turkey is in a place to pull this off, but the leader that does it will probably be a Danite.
@@dahlprints Especially when God spends the whole book of Ezekiel and Hosea telling Jerusalem and Israel what harlots they are. People need to watch Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Sophia as well. This whole Neom project will likely be a major part of their work. It's ironic that J.R. leads tours there now to Mt. Sinai...don't you think?
The Jews are still the apple of God's eye they rejected the gospel and thank God He gave it to us Gentiles that we might also be saved but the church NEVER replaced the Jews God will deal with the Jewish people to punish their unbelief and open their eyes to make them see that their messiah was indeed Jesus whom they crucified but God's plan all along is to save and restore the nation of Israel 🇮🇱 I think you need to read your Bible again you are so mistaken
How is it possible you do not realize that the rapture of the church is before or at the same time the tribulation begins. So many passages in the Bible that speak of it. Are you doing it deliberately to deceive? Or you really don’t know? Astonishing. The marriage supper of the Lamb is 7 years, where we will be with Jesus and are forever with Him. The only time for this is during the tribulation which we are not subjected to.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and *they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years* (But *the rest of the dead lived not again* until the thousand years were finished.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such *the second death* hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. *And when the thousand years are expired* Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, ^ The resurrection of (Condemation) shame and everlasting contempt. And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters (a merism) of the earth, *Gog and Magog* to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. {Revelation 20:4-10}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WE ARE NOT APPOINTED UNTO WRATH, TRIBULATION IS NOT WRATH ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aren't many of our brothers and sisters being tortured and murdered in Africa, China, the Middle East, North Korea, etc. Didn't our Lord suffer most of all on a cross? How very prideful it is to believe that we in the west are somehow special and deserving to be taken out of harms way, and thus providing no witness to Jesus our Lord! Amen! I've been frustrated for quiet some time, by hearing "Any moment now!", when the Bible clearly states(Jesus speaking) that the rapture will occur around the time when the sun and the moon go dark[Matt 24, Luke 21, Mark 13, Rev 6]. The first mention of God's wrath occurs in Rev 6:17 "for the great day of HIS WRATH is come; and who shall be able to stand? " This is right after the sun and the moon go dark in Rev 6:12 "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake; and the SUN BECAME BLACK AS SACKCLOTH of hair, and the MOON BECAME AS BLOOD;". This takes care of when God's wrath will start. Now, as for the rapture, Christ states that the gathering of the saints will occur right after the sun and moon go dark, which coincides with the end of the Tribulation as in Matt 24:29 "Immediately after the TRIBULATION of those days shall the SUN BE DARKENED, and the MOON SHALL NOT GIVE HER LIGHT,..", and Christ goes on to say, Matt 24:30 "...they shall see the Son of man COMING in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Matt 24:31 "And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall GATHER TOGETHER HIS ELECT from the four winds,...". TRIBULATION IS NOT WRATH! Tribulation is the harm that the world inflicts upon the saints, while wrath is the harm that God inflicts upon the unrepentant world, right after the Tribulation and prior to Christ's return. If you don't agree, give us a biblical breakdown similar to the one above in support of your view. I really wish I'm wrong, however, after careful study this seems to be the correct interpretation. IF YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT THE PRE-TRIB-RAPTURE, MANY NEW BELIEVERS, OR THOSE THAT ARE ABOUT TO COMMIT TO CHRIST MAY FALL AWAY, WHEN THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN THE TRIBULATION, THINKING THAT EITHER THE GOSPEL MESSAGE IS FALSE OR THAT THEY WERE NOT SAVED! It is pretty selfish to broadcast a false belief that may make you feel good, while ignoring the consequences that may befall upon a less mature brother. Anyone that pretends to be a leader should be absolutely sure of what they preach.
The sword coming out of His mouth as He rides the White horse covered in blood is the spoken word of God, the Bible makes reference to that in many places where it likens the spoken word of God to the sword.
sharper than any two edged sword..
Ephesians 6:17
[17]And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Isaiah 55:11
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Right the two edge sword is the word of God. He will judge and rule the world by His word
God called me over 20 years ago to memorize Revelation, as encouraged by a longtime faith mentor and church leader. I realized upon doing so that Revelation reads like a drama, and it prepared me for all that is unfolding in our days. I like the 'topography' reference ...it is so important to just get into Revelation and 'drive around' getting to know the landscape, and the Holy Spirit does the rest, bringing it all together.
The celestial event in Revelation 12 occurred on 9/11/3bc. The scripture has a double meaning. Jesus was born on 9/11/3bc. God out that in there for a reason. Ernest L Martin wrote a book on it 15 years before the towers were hit
Gratitude for your hard work and dedication to the ministry of Jesus Christ 🙏
The Lord is preparing the body wherever the body is,,,,, that really struck a chord with me.
Come Lord Jesus!
Psalm 71:1-4
In You, O Lord, I put my trust;
Let me never be put to shame.
Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape;
Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
Be my strong refuge,
To which I may resort continually;
You have given the commandment to save me,
For You are my rock and my fortress.
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Thank God for your teaching and your heart for the Lord. I pray that the Lord protects and comforts Joel's family. I haven't heard how Joel's wife is doing. May God give them strength in whatever comes their way.

“The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God”
I totally agree that the exodus from Egypt and the Book of Exodus is a very good example of what and how Revelation is unfolding in the end of days. I do think however that it will happen more quickly than we may imagine, especially given the Lord's direction in Matthew 24 that unless He "cuts these days short " no one would survive.
Well said, but keep in mind that Jesus himself said that the end of the age would be like the days of Noah, which is to say that he did NOT say they would be like the days of Moses and/or the Exodus.
Travelling Light Pro...To survive for what?? Is there going to be humans living here during the millennium?? Don't we all need to die before we can be resurrected?? Even if we are changed in a
twinkling of the eye;
that's dieing from mortality!!!...??? 🤔
I
Matthew 24 is specifically a prophecy of a now & not yet... now in that Jerusalem was destroyed, with "no stone being left unturned" - Just as Jesus had said. The end of the church age is yet to come.

@@seasquawker the great falling away is Israel’s apostasy after they are given covenant of peace through Prince David when the whole House of Israel is resurrected and brought into their land out of their graves. This event is literal and begins the 70th week. A time of Jacob’s trouble, is just that, Israel’s tribulation for repentance. Read the whole book of Hosea. Read Ezekiel 17. Read Zechariah 11, that’s after the two sticks are joined in Ezekiel 37. He breaks his covenant with the provoking house of Israel when they follow after the beast. If you are of the called out believers then you are grafted I to Israel and must partake in her Covenant’s of the Most High YHWH. The idolatry is making an image to the beast. Shalom

With all the different interpretations- how is one to pick or know the correct one? It says is scripture “Everyone feels that he is right in his own eyes”. It is Spiritually discerned.
The holy spirit is our helper to understand and the word of God bible is our guide to truth and it is the truth. The word became flesh and dwell among us. Jesus christ is the way the truth and the life.
The verse you reference in context has to do with sin, not interpretation of prophecy. Even so, I agree that we should not think we got it all figured out, because chances not one person does.
Perhaps the better question is "WHY do we want to pick or know the correct one?" If the answer is "so that we can be ready for His return" then that is a matter of heart preparation where we come to a point where we don't love ANY person, place, or thing more than HIM (not even ourselves so that we won't shrink from death/martyrdom) - and the correct interpretation becomes much less important. If the answer is something about simply "wanting to be right," then He will resist the proud and give grace to the humble.
@@gtw4546 your reply is packed with brutal truth yet, there is a reason to seek understanding of clear interpretation when your goal is not only to have answers for yourself but to be correct in your teaching to others. None of us want to misguide someone else. I personally have an unbelieving child. I have been taught there is a rapture prior to the first seal and have repeated this teaching to my child. Her response was, "I will believe when the rapture happens". So, if I have taught her incorrectly, and the rapture is something that determines her coming to acceptance of Jesus based on something I taught her, then Im partially responsible for causing her to stumble. For me, it has nothing to do with pride or wanting to be "right", other than wanting to be "right" in how I guide others when teaching them about my beliefs. This is why Im seeking answers from more than one source and gaining knowledge and understanding from different perspectives. Its important to me to grow in this way and to pray for discernment as I do. My understanding of scripture is that we are held accountable at a higher degree of accountability if we "teach" others. I take that seriously. I love my child and if all I have as a way to help her navigate through the "tribulation" is journals left behind with teachings of what is to come because we have "raptured" then I want to leave accurate teachings. And if we are to go through the tribulation rather than rapture, I want to also prepare my child for that so that she doesnt stay in her unbelief because something she was taught never came to pass and therefor she discards all other biblical teachings as also false.
@@lollisnider8922 Wanting to rightly guide others in the faith is a good reason. What do you think your witness to your child would have been if you were a believer in the Middle East, Africa, or Asia where so many believers are being persecuted and martyred for their faith? I know it is only speculation, but I think it is an important question to consider here in the West. How long will we be spared the suffering that so many believers both historically and also at the present time must face? Even asking that question in the privacy of our own hearts may change the way we live now and improve our witness both in the West and globally.

I was laughing hysterically when you mentioned trump being the last trumpet! 😂😂😂
Yes it is totally ridiculous how some people will say such idiotic things his last name is Trump but how that's has anything to do with the last Trump of God IDK.
Keep in mind that "Chronology" means "time", not "number" - ie: yesterday and today are chronological - random numbers are not, unless a timeline is either stated or inherent: we can assume the second bowl comes after the first bowl (although it might not), but the third bowl has no necessary relationship in any way to the fourth trumpet (for instance)
I love your teachings! Awesome 🤗

" Repent is the START ....... "
Repent simply means ; rethought , rethink ,
with great anguishing in despair ,
change in the heart of mind
... until you " Repent " you will not turn any direction ,
you will only continue in and on your current way .
If not ..., then PERISH ...
Perish simply means ; to be rendered not usable for the intended purpose ...
Yahusha said to him,
I am the Way,
and the Truth, and the Life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Hi and thank you for these studies they have been so helpful! Somehow I've made it this far in to the study without catching this detail, I'm a little confused. I thought that the seven seals along with the tribulation and Jacob's trouble was 7 years, with the last three and a half years being God's wrath. So even Jacob's trouble is 3 and 1/2 years? Where did the 7 years come from then? I must have missed an episode. 😬🙏🏼
significant to me has always been the message in typology from the book of Exodus That the Egyptians who followed the example of the Hebrews and put the Lamb's blood on the door as Israel did. Their destiny from that time forward was the same as Israels. They didn't get raptured out of the wilderness while Israel went through it. Also I have counted 19 times in the Torah where God said directly or indirectly that the same laws applys to the Gentiles who are in the camp of Israel as native Jews. see Eph 2:12 nd 3:6 and Jhn 10:16 as well as Isa 56:8 One new man. Also Ezek 25:8 denying the chosen-ness of Israel.
Please give me a PO box or whatever...I will send a cashier's check... GOD Bless
What translation do you use?
Some things bothered me:
1. You went for 45 min just preparing your audience for your "coming?" approach but gave weak and poor argumentation to back it and at the end it sounded, at least to me, empty and void.
2. You should count how many times in this 45 minutes you insinuated "formal bible studies" bring confusion and denigrated theological scholarship and formal biblical studies. Any prejudice about learning right doctrine and right Bible interpretation through formal studies? Are you fearful of the effects of scholarship, correct exegesis and correct hermeneutics learning?
Do not missunderstand me, if I am here writing this is because I respect what you are doing and it is not the first time I watch what you have to say. This is the first time I comment thou.
God Bless and fruitful coming sessions.
Dalton could you please list me some verses I can give my family that shows the rapture isn't pretrib? I know the Matthew 24:29-31 but I need more. Thank you so much!
In the 6th chapter of John's gospel Jesus says three times " I will raise him up at the last day". In the parable of the wheat and tares the tares are gathered into bundles to burn in the fire then the wheat is gathered. In the story of lot the angels drag them out the same day the fire falls.
These three still won't convince them. Religious traditions are hard to break.
The traditions of men make the word of God of no effect.
@@darrellblanchard2362 I agree and thank you so much. I've used these to try and reach my family but yes they do just say I'm twisting scriptures. I was raised up on this as well but I came out of it when I started reading myself. It was a shellshock to me then. But I knew in my heart and spirit I had just found the truth. Thank you.
Dalton / Fai has a video about that. 4 reasons we dont believe in a pre-trib rapture.
@@martienskruger108 Yes I've watched it 2x now. But I was just looking to get some verses that I could copy into a document to show my family who won't listen. Just wanted to source as many as I can.
@@SM-yq1dr It is an eye-opener. The origin of the pre-trib says alot and the part that if you should study the Word without the knowing of a pre-trib rapture, you would not come to a pre-trib conclusion but rather to a rapture that occures with the second coming of Christ. Also that pre-trib is more of an escapist rather than an endurance and engagement teaching. There is a couple of verses that the pre-tribs like to use and their is something like four of them that they do use and hammer on. There is a couple of other verses like the verses in John 16 where Jesus says, I will raise him up at the Last day but there is also verses where Paul prepares us to be strong in the time of tribulation. The pre-trib gives a kind of depressed feeling and a cry of desperation in which we just want to get out of here, out of this horrible world and I wish it will happen today whereas the rapture at the Last day gives us a larger hope, a type of a desire to share in the suffering of our Lord. Have you watched the ballads of Revelation and Sheep amongst wolves? Revelation 6:11 whith the 5th seal where the martyrs are given white robes and told that it is just for a little while longer until those who are slain as they were slain that their blood will be avenged. I downloaded the individual songs of the ballad of Revelation that I listen to regular, and find them very inspiring. To find more verses, there is only one way, and that is to study the Word and to pray. Thats what I do. A pre-trib is like a flat earth. It takes away so many dimensions of reality and the world becomes over simplified.
So whats up with the fear inducing violins in the the beginning? Then the left eye opening? Or is that a coincidence? Peace
Get right with God friends, don't wait another day! About 500 prophecies fulfilled hundreds and thousands of years in advance prove the Bible is God's word. Believe and repent, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4!
What time is it ?
I think Dalton and Joel are on target, the book of Revelations talks about,briefly, the abomination is in Turkey. Dalton touches on , The Ottoman Empire will arise again with the Turkish Caliphate. The Temple is built yet. But, the stage is being set for all these things.
I've always liked the book of revelation, but have always been uncomfortable with a good many souls going to hell.
Do you think those souls would enjoy being in the presence of HIS Holiness? The lake of fire may be a mercy by comparison for unrepentant sinners.
Still very confusing. What if the book is divided in two and the second half follows the same chronology as the first, that in my estimation would clear up a lot of confusion.
I keep it simple!
1/ The 7 Seals of the Scroll and the very Scroll itself are just that, 7 Seals and a Scroll that is opened so that Events can be seen!
2/ 7 Angels with 7 Trumpets and when the Angels blow those Trumpets Events take place!
3/ 7 Angels with 7 Bowls of Thumos and when the Angels pour out a Bowl of Thumos events take place!
The Seals and the Scroll ARE NOT the Trumpets!
The Seals and the Scroll ARE NOT the Bowls!
The Trumpets ARE NOT the Bowls!
Each of the Seals and the Trumpets and the Bowls are very Unique BUT are NOT all Seals and are NOT all Trumpets and are NOT all Bowls!
What we do see is that the Events that happen at the Climax of the Seals is the same as the Events at the End of the Trumpets and the same as the Events at the end of the Bowls!
They all Climax with the COMING of Jesus and the RESURRECTION and that Day of Christs ORGE taking place!
They all Align Perfectly with what happens in Revelation 19 and 20!
Revelation is just like all other Prophetic Books!
Each Chapter or various Chapters keep on Expounding on and Building on what has already been shown!
All of Revelation speaks of that Final Period of Time that must exist before our Lords COMING will be near!
All of Revelation Climaxes with the COMING of Jesus and the Binding of Satan and the First Resurrection and the Destruction of the Beast and that Day of Christs ORGE taking place at Armageddon!
Simple really!
Do you keep Passover and all those feast days of the Torah? And if so what do you think if pagan traditions such as Christmas and easter

You said that John wrote 7 letters (Rev 2 and 3).

Could not have been one letter because you can read the seven letters and they are all different???
@@martienskruger108 One letter to all seven churches, a different message to each church on the specifics applicable to their status at the time.
The whole book of Revelation is one long letter to all seven churches. Check Ch 1:4, 1:11.
@@colinloechel8378 The book is written to the church and in the book is seven letter each directed to one of the seven churches in Asia. It is not seven letters individualy written. They are all in one book and is refered to as the seven letters to the seven churches as it is explained in the book of Revelation. Sorry, but I dont see what your aiming at.
@@martienskruger108 Each church received all seven messages, so they knew what God was saying not only to themselves in correction and in praise, but also to each of the other six churches.
Imagine for a moment that Jesus sent letter to the church to your church and the six other churches nearest to you, containing both criticism and praise, so you and your congregation would know what he said about the other six churches, as well as what he said about your congregation.
If you check the two verses I mentioned you will see that it was one letter sent to all of them.
It’s not necessarily a big deal, but Jesus had reasons for making sure all seven churches got the same letter.
That’s worth thinking about I believe.
@@colinloechel8378 I agree with you. I have read the seven letters multiple times and find there is a truth with encouragement, a wrong, a blessing, and a reward that is applicable to every individual believer. But there is more and is as if it has been directed as it speaks directly to the specific church. Thank you for your reply.

The celestial event in Revelation 12 occurred on 9/11/3bc. The scripture has a double meaning. Jesus was born on 9/11/3bc. God out that in there for a reason. Ernest L Martin wrote a book on it 15 years before the towers were hit

History lesson
The year was 538 A.D. and the Emperor of Rome was Justinain, and the General of his army was Belsarius, who was fighting the Ostrogoths, one of the ten remnant kingdoms after 476 A.D. at the gates of Rome.
The Bishop of Rome was Silvanus, who was said to be a man of God, but he refused to open the gates to either army.
Then the queen, who was said to be a devoted Christain, was petitioned by Justinain and Belsarius to persuade the bishop to open the city gates, which he did, but he was unaware of the plan that Justinain and his General made previously to arrest him and replace him with one who was more like them.
History tells that they did just that, and also placed upon bishop Vigilius the Roman emperor's sceptre and the title of Pontifex Maximus, which they all claimed from emperor Constantine.
This is the account of the revealing of the son of perdition, (and the removal of the restrainer) and birth of the Little Horn antichrist power.
The *Ostrogoths* the *Heruli* and the *Vandals* where all exterminated.
This 'little' horn is the same beast that came up from out of the sea, and the woman (Jezebel) who rides the seven headed beast in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
She would be diverse from all others in that she claimed the power of both church and state for one thousand, two hundred and threescore years.
She also persecuted the saints of Christ during that time we know of today, as the dark ages.
It took another emperor in Napoleon, and another General, to take back the temporal sword, that Justinain had bestowed on her in 538 A.D.
Exactly one thousand, two hundred and threescore years later in 1798 A.D. which is the same as a time, and a times, and the dividing of time (a half of time), which is the same as 42 months. Seven times in the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation are we given this prophecy of the time of the Little Horn and the time of His two witnesses, (the old and the new covenant) the word of God.
God does not want us to get this wrong, for if we don't know who the antichrist beast is, then we will except his mark of authority.
This is when the beast was put into captivity, and prophecy tells us that this wound will be healed, and after the deadly wound is healed, he will ascend out of the bottomless pit (resurrected from the dead) and go into perdition.
Nope, a bit far fetched. The little horn, the abomination and the rider of the first seal is the same. It could not have happened the because of the figtree prophecy which only occure in 1948 with the Jews returning to Israel. Then comes the the part of the third temple, the last week or seven days of the prophecy if Daniel and the fake peace treaty which will conme to an end in the middel of the week, which is the three and a half days or the time, times and half a time, and then the part of the abomination of desolation who will stand in the holy of holies and declares himself to be God. Nice hypothesis but there is alot of pieces that do not fit into the proposed theory. Best you read the prophecies of Daniel, the book of Revelation, the words of Jesus in Matthew 24, the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 15, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Ezekiel 37 with the prophecy of the valley of the bones.

Wherefore remember, that ye being IN TIME PAST Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the COMMONWEALTH of ISRAEL, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
BUT now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh *by the blood of Christ*
For he is our peace, who hath made both [Jew and Gentile] one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments [not the ten commandments] contained in ordinances; for to make in himself *of twain* ONE NEW MAN, so making peace;
And that he might reconcile BOTH unto God in ONE BODY by the cross, *having slain the enmity thereby*
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

The seven headed beast of Revelation 17:
"Here is the mind which has wisdom"
The seven heads are symbolic of seven kingdoms, starting with the beast of Daniel chapter 7
1st < Babylon
2nd < Medo-Persia
3rd < Greece
4th < Pagan Rome
5th < Papal Rome; the little horn
("that was" & "is not" & "yet is")
6th < "one is"

The woman that rides the beast is in captivity at the time of John's vision, AFTER receiving the deadly wound from the (atheist) beast from the bottomless pit [Rev 11:7]. This is the beast of THE TIME AND PLACE of John's vision IN THE WILDERNESS.
(Meaning that John is in the wilderness in his vision and not physical on Patmos, and he sees a beast that would come up from out of this wilderness. Read Job 38:26.)
The 7th < "is not yet come"
At the time of John's vision in the wilderness, this head of the beast was yet to come; this is the beast from out of the earth [Rev 13:11];
(And he shall exercise all of the power of the first beast...) when this beast will speak like a dragon.
This beast must continue a short time, as per the others before him.
I believe by the testimony of Jesus, that we are now living in that "short time".
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
{Revelation 17:8}
:11...even he is the eighth, AND IS OF THE SEVEN, and ascends out of the bottomless pit and goes into perdition.
--There are seven heads at the time of John's vision, five kings/heads/beast are fallen, so this eighth is of the five kingdoms...."that was"...."and is not"...."yet is" AND received a deadly wound; AND his deadly wound was healed.
This wound is the loss of her (the woman/church that rides the beast.) temporal sword (also her captivity), which is the earthly secular world kingdom.
This is the image of the beast (that great city), who like Babylon of antiquity, who thinks to usurp church and state craft.
The number eight is a metaphor for the resurrection. The eighth is resurrected from a former head of the seven; the 5th head that received a deadly wound.
(When he shall go into perdition: this will be the final dispensation of this beast with seven heads, that is a metaphor for satan.)
Jesus;
(The resurrection; Jn 11:25) Ἰησοῦς/Iēsous = 888
by counting the letter values of the Greek transliteration;
I(10), E(8), S(200), O(70), U(400), S(200).
In antiquity the mountain was not only a metaphor for a kingdom, but it was also symbolic of the head of a (river) dragon that was symbolic of a river that flows out from a mountain, after the spring thaw and overflowing its banks, spreading out in the form of the dragon's tail.
The color is scarlet because it is symbolic of the blood of the saints of the Lord.
A woman in prophecy is always a metaphor for a church, in this case (Jezebel) it is the fallen temple of God.
The false prophet, a lamb (Christ like) with two horns, and/but will speak like a dragon (a wolf in sheep's clothing), will be the beast (from out of the earth ... the USA) that will make an image unto the first beast from out of the sea, who received a deadly wound and his deadly wound was healed.
The two horns are a metaphor for two (equal) kingdoms in one, church and state craft.
Medo-Persia also is expressed as having two horns [Dan 8:3], but one was higher, (Persia) and eventually usurps the other.
This is the image of the first beast from out of the sea (Papal Rome). Once the wall of separation of church and state is lost, then will the second beast from out of the earth become the image of the first beast, who claims the authority of both church and state.
Even so, come Lord Jesus. Amen.
@@larrybedouin2921 @Larry Bedouin and what about the return of the Jews to Israel and the birth of the state of Israel in 1948. God did not throw His people away. He made an everlasting covenent with them even after the birth of Christ, His crucifixion. By Faith, just as Abraham received righteousness, so we to as gentiles have been included into the people of God with our faith in Jesus Christ. This is the one new man. But through the fall of the chosen people of God salvation has come to the gentiles and to provoke them to jealousy. There is a time when the Jewish nation will cry unto Jesus, and that will be with the great tribulation that shall befall them midway of the last week which Daniel spoke of. The 1260years is not a period that started somewhere in the 500ad's. Thats way to early brother. Thanks for your point of view. This all is qhat shall happen in the last or the latter days. Your whole argument of the one new man, and with your quotatiin of certain verses like, Jesus said I am the Truth and the Way and the Life is all very important and relevant verses that any believer should have in heart and in believe dor salvation but it has nothing to do with your hypothesis on the 1260 year period that starts in the 500ad's. Thanks for your reply. I will read your reply again. But there is a lot you say that is not relevant. As for one, the first seal with the rider on a white horse who comes with false cries of peace have not yet occured.
I love you brother, but if you interpret this book from an earthly, present time and carnal perspective, you gonna end up with some kind of end time prophecy.
The only way to understand this book is to call in the help of the Holy Spirit of Truth and Revelation. By taking a spiritual and symbolic perspective, you will see that this book is all about of the salvation of each of us. How it starts with unsealing (recognizing the Lord as our saviour), the trumpets ( how the Holy Spirit takes you out of captivity of Babylon) and the bowls ( the wrath on the false beliefs in each of us). At the end ,each of us can become the bride to be reinstated in the flesh with the Lord, the pure unconditional love!
Then ‘it’s done’ !!! Hallelujah 🙏

Why are you so sure you're correct in your interpretation of Revelation? Why not another, who also believes they are correct? Your videos are interesting and certainly have me digging into God's Word. So do David's videos on Revelation:
ua-cam.com/play/PLY8Cq8enpfGfD_9b9cfcgCWhdYWUNNZq7.html
Considering both views (if you've listened to David's commentaries), and that you both are Christians, how does a believer discern which view is correct (as both views are correct in challenging the false pre-tribulation rapture).
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
{Galatians 3:28}
Wherefore remember, that ye being IN TIME PAST Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the COMMONWEALTH of ISRAEL, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
BUT now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh *by the blood of Christ*
For he is our peace, who hath made both [Jew and Gentile] one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments [not the ten commandments] contained in ordinances; for to make in himself *of twain* ONE NEW MAN, so making peace;
And that he might reconcile BOTH unto God in ONE BODY by the cross, *having slain the enmity thereby*
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but *fellowcitizens* with the saints, and of the household of God;
[The commnwealth of Israel ... Jeshurun]
{Ephesians 2:11-19}
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
{Acts 10:34}
Again...
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
For there is no respect of persons with God.
{Romans 2:10-11}
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For *they are not all Israel* which are of Israel:
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but *the children of the promise* are counted for the seed.
{Romans 9:6-8}
Now we, [Galatians] brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
{Galatians 4:28}
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon 👉the Israel [Jacob] of God.
{Galatians 6:15-16}
The seven heads are symbolic of seven kingdoms, starting with the beast of Daniel chapter 7
1st < Babylon
2nd < Medo-Persia
3rd < Greece
4th < Pagan Rome
5th < Papal Rome; the little horn
("that was" & "is not" & "yet is")
6th < "one is"
^
The woman that rides the beast is in captivity at the time of John's vision, AFTER receiving the deadly wound from the (atheist) beast from the bottomless pit [Rev 11:7]. This is the beast of THE TIME AND PLACE of John's vision IN THE WILDERNESS.
(Meaning that John is in the wilderness in his vision and not physical on Patmos, and he sees a beast that would come up from out of this wilderness. Read Job 38:26.)
The 7th < "is not yet come"
At the time of John's vision in the wilderness, this head of the beast was yet to come; this is the beast from out of the earth [Rev 13:11];
(And he shall exercise all of the power of the first beast...) when this beast will speak like a dragon.
This beast must continue a short time, as per the others before him.
I believe by the testimony of Jesus, that we are now living in that "short time".
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
{Revelation 17:8}
:11...even he is the eighth, AND IS OF THE SEVEN, and ascends out of the bottomless pit and goes into perdition.
--There are seven heads at the time of John's vision, five kings/heads/beast are fallen, so this eighth is of the five kingdoms...."that was"...."and is not"...."yet is" AND received a deadly wound; AND his deadly wound was healed.
This wound is the loss of her (the woman/church that rides the beast.) temporal sword (also her captivity), which is the earthly secular world kingdom.
This is the image of the beast (that great city), who like Babylon of antiquity, who thinks to usurp church and state craft.
The number eight is a metaphor for the resurrection. The eighth is resurrected from a former head of the seven; the 5th head that received a deadly wound.
(When he shall go into perdition: this will be the final dispensation of this beast with seven heads, that is a metaphor for satan.)
Jesus;
(The resurrection; Jn 11:25) Ἰησοῦς/Iēsous = 888
by counting the letter values of the Greek transliteration;
I(10), E(8), S(200), O(70), U(400), S(200).
In antiquity the mountain was not only a metaphor for a kingdom, but it was also symbolic of the head of a (river) dragon that was symbolic of a river that flows out from a mountain, after the spring thaw and overflowing its banks, spreading out in the form of the dragon's tail.
The color is scarlet because it is symbolic of the blood of the saints of the Lord.
A woman in prophecy is always a metaphor for a church, in this case (Jezebel) it is the fallen temple of God.
The false prophet, a lamb (Christ like) with two horns, and/but will speak like a dragon (a wolf in sheep's clothing), will be the beast (from out of the earth ... the USA) that will make an image unto the first beast from out of the sea, who received a deadly wound and his deadly wound was healed.
The two horns are a metaphor for two (equal) kingdoms in one, church and state craft.
Medo-Persia also is expressed as having two horns [Dan 8:3], but one was higher, (Persia) and eventually usurps the other.
This is the image of the first beast from out of the sea (Papal Rome). Once the wall of separation of church and state is lost, then will the second beast from out of the earth become the image of the first beast, who claims the authority of both church and state.
Even so, come Lord Jesus. Amen.
Revelation cannot be understood chronologically...how can anything follow ‘every mountain moved, the heavens unrolled like a scroll, and EVERYONE hiding in the rocks from HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE’?
Clearly the first 6 seals contain the complete outline.
Revelation is like a picture made of many transparencies...and we cannot be sure we have all the transparencies or that they are correlated correctly...we must understand the outline in the first six seals to place the other details described in the various visions.
John says, first i saw this, next i saw this...he does NOT say, first this happens, and next this happens.
Wow thank you..I think you just made clear what I was feeling about this book!
OK you have my attention....what teachers on Revelation do you respect...can we talk more as to any of your further insights on this book?

I agree 100% with you Tony!
The 7 Seals that Open the Scroll so that all that is in the Scroll can be seen and Climax with Christs COMING and that Day of ORGE are just that!
The 7 Angels with 7 Trumpets are NOT the Scroll and are NOT the 7 Seals BUT they show what must be taking place when the Scroll is opened out and they Climax with Jesus COMING and the RESURRECTION and that Day of ORGE!
The 7 Angels with the 7 Bowls of THUMOS are NOT the Scroll and and are NOT the Seals and are NOT the 7 Trumpets BUT they show again what must ba happening on the earth when the Scroll is opened and again CLIMAX with the Day of Christs COMING and that Day of ORGE!
We then read all through Revelation about the many Characters and Places and Events that again will be happening during that time when the Scroll is opened and the events are happening
Revelation 19 and 20 speak of that Climactic Day of Christs COMING and the Binding of Satan and the First Resurrection and the Destruction of the Beast and that Day of ORGE!
Revelation CANNOT be Chronological!
1/ The 7 Seals ARE Chronological Yes!
2/ The 7 Trumpets ARE Chronological Yes!
3/ The 7 Bowls of Thumos ARE Chronological Yes!
BUT the 7 seals, 7 trumpets and 7 bowls are NOT Chronological!
When the 6th Seal is OPENED we know 100 % that the 1260 Days of Great Tribulation has ENDED which means EVERY SINGLE Person and EVERY SINGLE EVENT and EVERY SINGLE place and EVERY SINGLE Prophecy regarding that 1260 Days of Great Tribulation has been Fulfilled and Completed and should not be spoken of again in the Following Chapters!
BUT what we do SEE is that all of the People and Places and Events that are Related to that 1260 Days of Great Tribulation CONTINUE to be spoken of and CONTINUE to be expounded on!
The TRUTH is that Revelation is Overlaying!
Tony, I agree with you. What I see in the first 4 seals is nothing more than us being told, once again, how God is going to deliver judgement. How many times in the Old Testament did He say to the people through His prophets that He was going to raise up a king or kingdom who was coming to destroy them? That many would die by the sword? That many would die by the starvation? That the pestilence would cause many to die? That if you try to escape, wild animals will tear you apart? There is nothing "new" in the first 4 Seals. The 5th Seal declares when the martyrdom ends and God is in control of that. The 6th Seal is that HE IS COMING TOO in righteous judgement. We think earthly tribulations are bad, but wait until He comes and gives out some Isaiah 63:1-6 retribution on this world. It's the Game Plan. The rest are the details. Gotta have a blueprint before you build a skyscraper.
But for me, Seal 7 is still the puzzler. Silence. I've got a lot of books on Revelation and not a single one has anything concrete and some just give it pass.
Another salient but often overlooked item is that the Lamb did not get the book until the Father gives it to Him. Who knows the day and hour? Only the Father.
This is the new world. It has changed already. But people have not changed. Perhaps you have not really changed, except in superficial ways. People do not know they are living in a different world-a new world, a world that will be much more disorderly, a world where nature will change the terms of engagement in subtle and dramatic ways, a world that could have been foreseen and has been foreseen by certain prescient individuals, a world for which humanity is sadly unprepared and still does not recognize.

Stop asking for money especially when you wear Rayban sunglasses etc. There's too many false teachers begging for money.
Joel is a fool who opened his commentary on revelation by claiming that rev 1 shows us, ‘john, missing his friend jesus...very old...and being so happy to see his friend again.’
Go ahead and read rev 1, and tell me that’s what it says???
We have no idea how old john is, or why he’s on patmos...he says nothing about missing jesus (of course john did not know anyone named jesus)...and what he describes seeing is, one LIKE the son of man’...and the encounter is HORRIFYING, that john falls at the feet of this vision ‘as dead’.
Tony..we are told by Messiah that we are not to call our brother a fool...Matthew 5:22 ..please apologize.
I meant that Joel is a satan with his corruption of revelation...I apologize for calling him a fool.
@@tonysmario817 wow..you apologize for calling him a fool then turn around and call him a satan??!! Seriously? That's immature and evil. If you think you have a better interpretation of Revelation then maybe you should have a UA-cam channel or ask Joel to debate you..but if you are calling yourself a believer in Messiah then conduct yourself as one according to the Most High and His word.. don't give us that love Elohim a bad name and don't disrespect the brethren. Oh by the way you said John didn't know anyone named Jesus? Where in scripture does it say that?
Joel publicly called Chris White's teaching Satanic because he taught that the Antichrist would deceive the Jews into believing he was the Messiah, just as Jesus said in John 5.
It's disingenuous to say that they are not promoting a specific view. The Islamic Antichrist view was practically invented by Joel Richardson singlehandedly, and is a 21st century novelty made popular by the political sentiment of the war on terror.
Jesus and Paul taught clearly that the greatest enemy of the Gospel was the Jews, and would be in the last days. Ezekiel 43 makes it clear that the Jews lead the apostasy.
This is true yes... which is why a huge push to remove Paul has been happening for yeeeaaars. Very insightful brother. I have also noticed this. Scripture mentions how they will bring us before the synagogues and deliver us up to be afflicted.
The sad reality is this, the Jews are in apostacy, many Christians seem to want to worship them and not Jesus and it's very strange... i think it stems from our love for them, which is very good... but we ought not forget that they are in pretty much open rebellion against God right now... they largely view us as enemies, at least the "elite" ones do, and they have been a very LARGE part of the reason communism exists, they are our enemies for the Gospel sake and Beloved for the Fathers sake.
The whole thing reminds me of a woman who went astray from her man, and out of vitriol shacked up with the bad boy, and only ended up hurting herself. But God in all of his mercy and grace still allows them back into the fold when they accept Jesus IS the Christ.
Understanding this makes it much easier to know who the Mother of Harlots is... that also is not complicated to figure out.
@@EQOAnostalgia Yup. But in the last days, people will gather around the Jews, as it is written in Zechariah:
Zec 12:5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts THEIR God.
Most people don't realize that the "governors of Judah" can only be the 10 kings. Because the Jews are ordained to be under Gentile sovereignty until Messiah sets up his Millennial kingdom.
People don't want to accept that the Antichrist will be a Hebrew, of the tribe of Dan, who is prophesied to "Judge Israel as one of the tribes of Israel."
This was not fulfilled in Samson, because Samson never led Israel or served as a judge. He just died, and took a bunch of Philistines with him.
No, Dan is the antithesis of Judah and was understood by the early church to be where the Antichrist would come from. The Danites left Israel and mingled in with the Greeks, which means they are in Greece and Turkey.
But one day, one will emerge and lead the 10 kings to give him power. Then he will set up a buffer state around Israel to 'keep the peace' between the Islamic powers and Israel, and then, claim to be Messiah after he has subdued Syria, Iraq, and Egypt.
Only Turkey is in a place to pull this off, but the leader that does it will probably be a Danite.
@@dahlprints Especially when God spends the whole book of Ezekiel and Hosea telling Jerusalem and Israel what harlots they are.
People need to watch Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Sophia as well. This whole Neom project will likely be a major part of their work. It's ironic that J.R. leads tours there now to Mt. Sinai...don't you think?
The Jews are still the apple of God's eye they rejected the gospel and thank God He gave it to us Gentiles that we might also be saved but the church NEVER replaced the Jews God will deal with the Jewish people to punish their unbelief and open their eyes to make them see that their messiah was indeed Jesus whom they crucified but God's plan all along is to save and restore the nation of Israel 🇮🇱 I think you need to read your Bible again you are so mistaken
How is it possible you do not realize that the rapture of the church is before or at the same time the tribulation begins.
So many passages in the Bible that speak of it.
Are you doing it deliberately to deceive? Or you really don’t know?
Astonishing.
The marriage supper of the Lamb is 7 years, where we will be with Jesus and are forever with Him. The only time for this is during the tribulation which we are not subjected to.
No one now the day or hour Jesus will return not even the angels.
The book of revelation is not realistic at all.
How do you figure? Look around lol.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and *they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years*
(But *the rest of the dead lived not again* until the thousand years were finished.) This is the first resurrection.
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such *the second death* hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
*And when the thousand years are expired* Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
^
The resurrection of (Condemation) shame and everlasting contempt.
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters (a merism) of the earth, *Gog and Magog* to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

WE ARE NOT APPOINTED UNTO WRATH, TRIBULATION IS NOT WRATH
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aren't many of our brothers and sisters being tortured and murdered in Africa, China, the Middle East, North Korea, etc. Didn't our Lord suffer most of all on a cross? How very prideful it is to believe that we in the west are somehow special and deserving to be taken out of harms way, and thus providing no witness to Jesus our Lord!
Amen! I've been frustrated for quiet some time, by hearing "Any moment now!", when the Bible clearly states(Jesus speaking) that the rapture will occur around the time when the sun and the moon go dark[Matt 24, Luke 21, Mark 13, Rev 6]. The first mention of God's wrath occurs in Rev 6:17 "for the great day of HIS WRATH is come; and who shall be able to stand? " This is right after the sun and the moon go dark in Rev 6:12 "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake; and the SUN BECAME BLACK AS SACKCLOTH of hair, and the MOON BECAME AS BLOOD;". This takes care of when God's wrath will start. Now, as for the rapture, Christ states that the gathering of the saints will occur right after the sun and moon go dark, which coincides with the end of the Tribulation as in Matt 24:29 "Immediately after the TRIBULATION of those days shall the SUN BE DARKENED, and the MOON SHALL NOT GIVE HER LIGHT,..", and Christ goes on to say, Matt 24:30 "...they shall see the Son of man COMING in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Matt 24:31 "And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall GATHER TOGETHER HIS ELECT from the four winds,...". TRIBULATION IS NOT WRATH! Tribulation is the harm that the world inflicts upon the saints, while wrath is the harm that God inflicts upon the unrepentant world, right after the Tribulation and prior to Christ's return.
If you don't agree, give us a biblical breakdown similar to the one above in support of your view. I really wish I'm wrong, however, after careful study this seems to be the correct interpretation. IF YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT THE PRE-TRIB-RAPTURE, MANY NEW BELIEVERS, OR THOSE THAT ARE ABOUT TO COMMIT TO CHRIST MAY FALL AWAY, WHEN THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN THE TRIBULATION, THINKING THAT EITHER THE GOSPEL MESSAGE IS FALSE OR THAT THEY WERE NOT SAVED! It is pretty selfish to broadcast a false belief that may make you feel good, while ignoring the consequences that may befall upon a less mature brother. Anyone that pretends to be a leader should be absolutely sure of what they preach.
