i said i think... but also nothing says that is refering to avryone. Reading again and again the chapter, i'm more prone to think in this way. In fact i made a study this morning, i can say that i have a clear vision. In the apocalipse is written avrything, we probably go up after the darkness, in the 6 sigill, but is my interpretation, nothing more.
@@messagesforourtime9306 no problem applying salvation message like John 3:16 but the prophecies apply to the Jews. All the OT is addressed to Israel but some apply it to gentiles and the church and there comes replacement theology that the church has replaced Israel.😟😟
Actually that is not correct. ....he is talking to JUST THE DISCIPLES (Jewish)..Matthew 24:3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, THE DISCIPLES CAME TO HIM PRIVATELY, SAYING, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. He is talking to the DISCIPLES PRIVATELY.
Thank you Brother Stuart! Eyes up! Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Acts 16:31 "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Colossians 1:14 "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:" Salvation is obtained by simply believing in Jesus' death (Blood sacrifice), burial and resurrection with all your heart for payment of all your sins, past, present and future.
I'm so amazed at how our Lord and Savior operates and let's us know He is in control and at work in our lives! I just read Matthew 24 this morning and was shown the same! This has been happening to me a lot lately. Praise our Father! God Bless you!
Dear friend, I respect your bible studies and being guided by God. however I like to emphasize to be careful with reading things into the scripture or understanding it in a certain way and then arguing that this is what God via the Holy Spirit wants you to know and showed you. If you were "shown the same" like what was mentioned in the Bible, then I see (my comment above) one big problem. If we are here on earth when the antichrist is revealed because otherwise there would not be any christian to be deceived, then you need to ask with what purpose a christian, a saved believer is deceived. If you then argue that such a saved believer, deceived by satan can lose his salvation, then you preach the gospel of salvation by your own works (read Galatians 1 for that) and then what you think God wanted you to know turns out to be a false gospel and not the word of God but the evil word of the antichrist. I think its pretty dangerous to believe, that every way we understand scripture is automatically the correct way. Or in other words, I pray for the same wisdom by the spirit as you do and also believe that I am guided by God, but I come to completely different conclusions. Therefore in the understanding of scripture, there seems to be the same free will that lets you either reject or accept Christ Jesus. We are still sinners in a fallen world and we and not fully enlightened by the truth. Have that in mind and I wish you all the best for your journey. God bless you my friend! Its a blessing to see that so many people seek Christ and are saved.
@@sheepmonkey I read it too and the Holy Spirit did NOT show me such an interpretation. Be very careful who you think has the Holy Spirit because this is the time of deception Jesus warned of. And false teachers are not going to appear wearing a set of horns & carrying a pitchfork. No, they will appear as 'angels of light' - some will be sweet talking women, others will be benign appearing elderly men. Be on guard.
Dear Stuart, God Bless You. May I please ask you for your prayers? I was just informed that I have to pay double property taxes or lose my home? I am just sobbing. After losing my wife, I became a cat lover-I now will lose all my extended family. I would appreciate any and all prayers. Love in Christ, John Lutz
John, so sorry to hear about this. If I may, I would like to ask our Father in heaven to grant you grace and the validity of all His promises. He has you in His safe arms and nothing can come to separate you from Him. He knows exactly what is happening to you and feels even worse than you do, as He stands by you when you are awake and sits by you when you sleep, albeit restless. Allow Him to share in this situation. If we don't really believe and trust Him, the rule He made that according to our faith so shall it be unto us, our unbelief can tie the omnipotence of His hands. If there is anything practical you can do from your side then do what you can, and then let go of the issue, so that God can work on your behalf, resting and trusting in Him. This will probably be a traumatic experience either way, but as I sit here and contemplate our families current situation (we all refused the jab and lost our jobs: virtually no work to be found for three of us now for three years), where we are trying to sell our home to survive, but it is as if the Lord has placed us in a desert and we are experiencing what it means to truly and fully trust Him, as children would their parent. This is a time of great and wonderful teaching from the Lord as to what it means to trust Him even when there is seemingly no hope whatsoever. This is a lie from your enemy. Return to the Lord's Word and believe that he will never leave nor forsake you, especially in this situation. Let Him work on your behalf and rest in Him, daily. What is the worst that can happen? We can die, yet we will be with our Father forever, without death, fear, pain, tears or failure. Jesus suffered for us and we are part of His family and will search us out whatever comes around and as we trust , He will carry the load, the labor and the longing of this present trial.
I find your voice reassuring and your messages and readings calming in this troubled world we now live in. And reading the comments below i'm not alone. Thank you.
And He says, REPENT and be Baptized for the remission of Sins, RECEIVE your New Heart and Transform your mind (Spiritual Maturity), and RECONCILE with your FATHER in Heaven, Adonai, FATHER of Jacob and our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ/Yeshua who Delivered Us from a Snare of the Enemy... Amen... Accept or Reject??? I Pray that this Blesses you... 🙏🏽 LetUsPRAY against the Spiritual Wickedness... Amen...
The people that get saved after the rapture will be those that realised their loved ones were telling them the truth, ie, non believers that are here now, as well as those that missed the rapture because they were trusting in themselves and their works instead of trusting in Jesus Christ’s perfect finished work. All born again believers in this age of Grace, are completely forgiven, justified and reconciled to God the Father. Gods Judgements are for an unbelieving world. I’m waiting for my blessed hope, and we are told to comfort one another - ref, Thessalonians, there’s no comfort in waiting for your head to be chopped off.
@@bigbruno56wrong, God wants no one to perish. This is why those that believe and get saved during the Tribulation period will be hunted down by the Anti Christs army and be beheaded, for their witness and testimony, that Jesus Christ is their Saviour. Read Revelation 20:4 ( KJV )
And how will those loved ones be converted if the Holy Spirit is taken away? That's what is taught. Supposedly the Jews become Christian after the Rapture and go out to convert the world. That is nonsense on all levels, but they have no Holy Spirit to convert anyone. Do you see this?
@@markh4926 The holy spirit will revert to dealing with people in the tribulation the way he dealt with those in the old testament, he will come alongside (The Paraclete---Paracletos means one who comes alongside) whereas in this age we are sealed Eph 1:13, and those who get saved are people who have not heard the gospel in this age or rejected Christ in this age, whereas our loved ones have rejected the Lord now and according to 2nd Thess 2 they will all be blinded.
@@markh4926 you receive the Holy Spirit from God, the moment you believe, trust in Jesus Christ for your Salvation. So all believers, currently will be removed from earth - but those that get saved during the Tribulation will receive the Holy Spirit.
The pretrib view is not a second coming, the Lord appears in the air and takes us to be with him. The tribulation is the time of Jacobs trouble, Anti-Christ comes to deceive Israel and the rest of the unbelieving world... not the church. He can't while we're still here, we'd expose and call him out.
The problem is that I can't find a pretrib rapture anywhere in scripture. It has to be read into the Bible. I would love for you folks to be right, but if you're not, you're going to be ill prepared for what's coming.
Because when the church leaves, many will repent and call out to God , ...there will be many "new" Christians. Yes there will be many that the Antichist needs to persuade.
The False comes first......Anyone teaching pre Tribulatuon rapture is false period. It's a ( resurrection) AFTER the Tribulatuon when Jesus the Christ returns.
It's not that he, anti-Christ, will be looking to deceive Christians. He is looking to deceive the Jews and the rest of the world so they will worship him and take his mark. Good to see/hear from you again. Thanks for sharing. God bless and protect.
@@LibbySlaughter101 thanks yes I have read several times - my view is that he will make war with the saints-any Christian that says they will never take the mark are already delusional.
@ronniepace8778 My dear friend, Revelation doesn't say that, rather it says 'All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast - all whose names HAVE NOT BEEN WRITTEN IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.' (Revelation 13:8) If you are a believer in Christ your name is written in the Lamb's book of life.
Many who have heard God's word before and present will realize they were wrong and what they were being told by loved ones was true. My own uncle told me he was Christ. I wasn't deceived, but just smiled at him and didn't debate. I don't think that was the reaction he was expecting. In the end, he requested I come see him in the hospital and he had a bible in his room. He pointed to the bible. I lead him to the Lord that day. Debate can cause division, God is the only one who knows when he is coming back. I just need to spread his word.
Personally I'm solidly post-trib. Many conflate TRIBULATION with WRATH. They are not the same. We WILL experience the tribulation, but we are not appointed unto God's wrath. Good morning from Kansas. Hope you and yours are doing well.
@@y.cschmidlin8172 Yes. The glorious appearing of our Lord, His return, is when the rapture shall occur. And according to scripture that will definitely occur after the period of great tribulation. At Christ's appearing two things shall take place. He shall gather His church out of this world. Then.....He shall unleash His father's wrath upon the rest of humanity. The TRUE message of end time prophecy is not to try and guess the hour, but to be prepared on a day by day basis. Jesus's return could be in 15 mins or 1500 years.
@bryguy8203 Well said. The Bible is not so unclear as many try to claim. If one reads it with an open mind and heart many things become clear. Unfortunately millions of Christians get their theology from extra-biblical sources. And that includes pastors. Larkin's chart is a prime example of this. It's is terribly incorrect in it's sequence of events, yet people cling to it as though it were scripture. It has been used by pastors for many decades and poisoned the minds of countless millions.
One thing to consider brother is who was Jesus sent to? Who was he talking to in Matthew 24 ? There was no church or Christian. He was speaking to the Jews not the church and 24 covers what will happen to the Jews that is why Jesus warns them about the abomination of desolation coming. Then removal of some Jews which is spoken of in the book of the Revelation. The church is not appointed to the wrath of God which what the tribulation is. In Revelation 3:10 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Notice to try them who dwell upon the earth. Many Christians get confused with the scripture because of terrible teaching. God bless you brother
I think there are three sets of those saved. The old testament saints, the church age (bride of Christ, New testament saints) and tribulation saints. In Revelation it was asked, who are They? And it was said they were those who were saved during tribulation who were beheaded (paraphrasing). After the church is removed, there are the two witnesses, the 144,000 Jews, and the angel in the air proclaiming the everlasting gospel. So even though we're gone, God still provides a way to spread His Word. It doesn't say how much time or if immediately the 7 years start. Since the rapture will definitely be an unreal time, and people will be scared, the people have to be convinced that everything will be ok in order to follow the false light and antichrist. Many will remember hearing about Jesus and will probably try to find answers so that's a possible time the false Christs pop up? I'm guessing at the last question.
False Christs is plural. I believe we will see an uptick of these before the pre trib rapture. Anyway…God will bring all to pass according to His will. I will find strength in the blessed hope even in the midst of trial and tribulation.
Firstly Matthew 24 is addressed to Jews, Stuart, context, context! Secondly there have been many Antichrists over the years. You need to watch Lee Brainard on the subject, he’s done his homework!
I am totally convinced that once the true believers are raptured, that those who believed themselves worthy of transcendence but are left behind will sort this out and become either offended or even more dedicated. It will be a moment of refining fire, if you will, to perfect their devotion even though they will endure the tribulation. The false messiah will work even harder than what is happening now to break their will and cause them to give up faithless.
Just a thought Stuart. In Thessalonians it says that the sky will part andca loud voice will shout.."Come up here"..and the dead in Christ will rise first, and then the living, and they will be changed in an instant. After this event, many of those that are left behind will beg God for forgiveness, and will turn to God. Are these the ones who satan will try and deceive with the false Jesus routine?
Read Daniel 8 and 11.21-end. The little horn has already been on the scene for a long time. Look how Christian’s were not only deceived by him but literally ushered him in. Recall the snake poem? Why do you think he like it so much? He’s saying ‘you’ let me in-as in you didn’t know any better and just listened to him spew his nonsense. A tree is recognizable by its fruit. His fruit is destruction, mayhem, division. It’s all ego and ignorance based. The image of it being wonderful or something positive, is due to the illusion created with mind control. Always blaming his enemies, deflecting, and shamelessly lying and slandering. It’s the big lie. It’s too unbelievable that someone could be so malevolent and devilish. Yet that is what the AC is doing right now. He flattered the Christian community and that made it hard for them to see the wolf underneath. But then that is the power of lawlessness. It’s all about mind control, which is all about idolatry. Ie creating images in our minds and changing our perception of reality =creating illusion.
No! They have realised their error and 'turned to God'. There are the Tribulation Saints - martyred for Christ. - This is not a guessing game. All the answers are in Scripture, but all of Scripture must be read.
The bible teaches that the Day of the Lord is the day Jesus Christ returns and gathers together all the dead in Christ (first), followed by the living in Christ that are still alive at that moment.... and that day is also to destroy the false prophet and antichrist. I asked myself a tough question a year or two ago... the answer came easier than expected and immediately. The question was, what would the devil have to gain from people believing in a pretrib rapture if it a false teaching? The answer was.... because those who believe that false teaching are not expecting the persecution from the rising and revealing of the antichrist.... and thus will be far more vulnerable when trouble arrives on the church and will be more likely to take the mark of the beast when they start getting hungry, because they are hit with what they never expected to happen to them. And why the need for believers to endure the great tribulation? Because true Christians are refined through suffering, false ones fall away and their real god is revealed (themselves, and their father is indeed the devil)
1 Peter 4:7 “But the *END OF ALL THINGS* is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. Believing in a before tribulation rapture, does not mean that it is the true Gospel of Christ. It is better to believe Christ(God). Amos " *Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to *what end is it for you*? When will Christ return? Before Tribulation or After Tribulation? The preachers say Pretribulation (before), but Jesus says "After the tribulation of those days. " Who are you going to believe? man or God? "LET GOD BE TRUE, AND EVERY MAN A LIAR." Matthew 24:36, KJV. “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,but only the Father Christ comes back at the *last day*, at the *last trumpet*, at the end of time, when time ceases to exist, when *time is no longer*. Christ is the Beginning ( Alpha). Christ is the End ( Omega). Matthew 24:3-5, KJV "And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the *sign of Thy coming*, and of *the end of the world*? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." Daniel 12:4, KJV "But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the *time of the end*. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.” Revelation 10:6 (KJV) - “And sware by Him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be *TIME NO LONGER*. “ What is time? Mornings and evenings = days, weeks, months and years= time. *Time began for earth and everything in it, at creation*. Genesis 1:5 KJV. "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the *FIRST DAY*. What gives us time? The lights in the firmament. The sun, moon and stars gives us time. "And God said, Let there be LIGHTS *IN* the FIRMAMENT of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for SIGNS, and for SEASONS, and for *DAYS*, and *YEARS*: and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so." Genesis 1:14-19 KJV With the days, weeks, months, and years passing, one grows older with the passing of *time.* It is written in Matthew 24: 29 -31, KJV.* "*Immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days* *shall the SUN BE DARKENED, and the MOON SHALL NOT GIVE HER LIGHT, and the STARS SHALL FALL FROM HEAVEN, and the POWERS OF THE HEAVENS SHALL BE SHAKEN:* *And THEN SHALL APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN: Joel 2:31, KJV "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come." Isaiah 13:10 KJV "For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine." Luke 21:25, KJV "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;" Revelation 6:12, KJV "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;" Luke 21:25-27, "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken." What happens to time, when the following happens? the sun darkness(shines no longer)? the moon shall not give her light? the stars shall fall from heaven? Correct! *Time No Longer* Believe God. DO NOT BELIEVE THE FALSE DOCTRINES and the false wordly education, nor satan's gospels from his many satanic-christian churches and religions, and his demonic educational systems. Satan has deceived the whole world. "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil and *satan, which *deceiveth the whole world*: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." Revelation 12:9, KJV. Unlearn All The Lies. As Christians we cannot and must not love lies. Lies are unrighteousness. "And with all *deceivableness* of *unrighteousness in them that perish*; *because they received not the love of the truth*, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they *all might be damned who believed not the truth*, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12, KJV. "For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whor3mongers, and murd3r3rs, and idolaters, and whosoever *loveth and maketh a lie*." Revelation 22:15 KJV. Amos 5:18-27 KJV. " Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to *what end is it for you*? the day of the LORD is *darkness*, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him." Joel 2: 2, KJV. "A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations." How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, *which didst weaken the nations*! Isaiah 14:16-17 King James Version (KJV) They that see thee(satan/lucifer) shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this *the man* that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? The 5 i- wills of lucifer(satan). Isaiah 14:13 "King James Version verse 13, "For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:" Ezekiel 28:14-17, KJV "Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee." satan ( the father of lies) keeps you prisoner to him and his beast systems through his many lies and deceptions. Jesus( The Truth) makes you free. WW3 the war against humanity. That process started in 2019. Christ redeems humanity, not human-technology. Bio aNd tech= no longer humanity. 💉 Be wise.
Which also ties into 2nd Thess, I believe is where the scripture states. .... They who are alive and remain will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air... God seems to respond after something happens. My question always was, what happens that God needs to swoop up his children to safety so he can pour out His wrath. Bringing the antichrist on scene and killing off millions of believers would do just that... hmmmm interesting... I love Stewart's teachings!
Remember the wise vs. foolish virgins, tribulation saints. Zola Levitts' book A Christian Love Story explained the wedding feast of 1st century Israel, knowing this eliminates lots of confusion.
@@brotherrick2553 What you are proposing is a 'mid tribulation' Rapture. Because (according to Revelation) the mark of the beast is not ENFORCED until half way through the Tribulation. And according to Revelation, millions upon millions who refuse the mark of the beast ARE killed. Not raptured! - Stewart advocates a post tribulation Rapture - when billions are dead. And if the remaining Christians are raptured at this point, they receive celestial bodies according to Paul. In this case there are no believers left on earth to re-populate the earth for the Millennial reign of Christ.
@LibbySlaughter101 I personally believe in a pretrib rapture. Based on my own reading of the bibe. Since the Bible is not exactly clear, hence all the different beliefs and arguments, I am open to hearing and comparing others' thoughts on the matter. I don't know everything. My true stance is this, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ with all your mind, heart, body, and soul. That He died for our sins and His blood is the only way to salvation. To be excitedly expecting Jesus at any moment. To tell others of the salvation of Jesus Christ. Let God worry about when He comes for His church and to live each day to the Lord, for the Lord, and following His will. I care more about saving people and getting them to the party rather than worrying about when the rapture is. Stay vigilant, stay strong in His word, keep the commandments of our savior, Jesus Christ 🙏
Jesus said the gate is narrow and many will seek to enter but will not be able. They will say Lord, Lord, but be rejected because He did not know them. I pray we all know without a doubt that He is our first love. 🙏🏻
Truly born again believers can never be deceived only those who don’t accept Jesus now will certainly be deceived because God will send strong delusions for them those who rejected Jesus after hearing the Gospel. Those who don’t believe the Truth (Jesus) now will then believe the Antichrist (lie).
That's not true. Who are the number no one can count? These are the Tribulation Saints - most will probably be nominal Christians now, not born again. But there will also be millions from 'every tribe, nation and tongue' who evidently respond to the preaching of the Two Witnesses & 144,000 Jewish evangelists. Scripture teaches that the ones deceived are those whose names are not written in the book of life! God does not say they are deceived Christians! That's why you have to read Scripture.
Great question! I will continue to keep praying for everyone that still needs to surrender & return to the Lord for the Gospel is the "Good News" that Jesus Christ the son of God died for our sins & arose again on the third day; so always trust, obey & believe in our Lord Jesus Christ & thou shall be saved. If you haven't done so, please repent now before it's too late. For truly all the praise, honor & glory belongs to God for He is the great "I AM". Only He can save us from all the evilness in this world! Keep trusting & praising God in all things in your life! AMEN
The Bible doesn't say the Antichrist will only deceive Christians. He will deceive the world but many will become Christians at this time when the 144,000 evangelise the world. These will be the great crowd who come out of the the great tribulation. Jesus meets believers in the air but doesn't return to the earth until after the great tribulation.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say the 144,000 sealed are going to evangelize the world. This is a perfect example of how 'Christians' read their own desires into what they think the word of God is.
John 5:43 (talking to the Jews) 'I am come in my Father's name and ye receive me not. If another (AC) shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.' - Jesus doesn't come to the whole world in the Rapture, he comes on the clouds, for his bride - the Church - So yes, the AC does come first - after the 7yr Tribulation Jesus comes in the second advent - this time he sets foot on the earth - the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4). - These are those who are deceived 'All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast - all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.' (Revelation 13:8) - these are obviously people of every religion, and no religion. But we always need to remember that the Tribulation is actually called 'Jacob's Trouble' - it is the final dealing of God with the Jews.
@@stevenwithaph9785 Dear brother, I think you might miss the point in the original post. Its called "Jacobs trouble" for a reason, because its the tribulation for the Jews who rejected Christ Jesus. There are many to turn to Christ, from Israel as well as the nations during that 7 years. And we must also not forget the 144000, the bible talks about, the hidden ones, covered by the protective hand of God. God bless you!
@messagesforourtime9306 so you think no one comes to believe in JESUS after the great snatching away. ? Read Revelation. Who are those under the alter asking for vengeance?
Excellent point! Thank you so much for pointing that out. I agree. Also read 2 Thessalonians 2. Verses 3 and 4 say: 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Have you not noticed the great falling away? Pastors are not male. Holy Communion is given to sinners. The gospel is changed to a prosperity gospel etc etc etc And the man of sin on the world stage.
That’s a very interesting thought . I’ve always believed in the pre trib rapture , you are certainly giving me something to think about . Come back soon with your next video🙏🏼
But if that statement in the video is true, then what is the purpose of Christians, saved believers being deceived as Satan can not snatch a believer our of Christ hand, hence can not cause that we are no longer saved...? John 10:28 says that nobody can snatch us out of Christs hand. We are saved by grace, not works. Enduring tribulation - ok, but not for the sake of salvation. That is by grace alone and not of works. Why withstanding being deceived, if that is works we could boast about but all the glory shall be to God? My point is, that way of thinking is too short, since it changes the gospel of grace lone. God bless!
Good question 🤔 makes sense the antichrist will appear after the restraint/ church is gone he can't appear until then and he will decieve many into believing he's the Christ
@@messagesforourtime9306Gods wrath does not start at Matthew 24:29. Firstly Jesus is speaking to the Jews Matthew 24 is Jewish in context. V20 "pray your flight not take place on the sabbath" V16 "let those in Judea flee" Its mainly Jewish because Jesus had not risen and died, they were not in our dispensation and would not be raptured. Jesus knew the Jews would not accept him and would face Gods wrath, so this is directed at them 2nd Gods wrath Rev 16 starts with sores on people who took the mark. So the rapture takes place before this point, In relation to matt 24 v15 the abomination of desolation is the anti christ..Why do you think the people in Judea at told to flee to the hills? He's giving out the mark! Do you live in Judea? Are you Jewish?!! The rapture doesn't apply to them. Some of the events will be witnessed by gentiles left after the rapture. After the rapture everything centres on Israel and the Jews. If your going to speak to 1000s of people on line about this, you need to be absolutely sure your views are correct and that only comes from years and years of study and time with the Holy Spirit.
Hi Stuart, thank you and God bless you and your family. I believe since the beginning of time and the world being cursed under sin. Many angels turned their backs in God, and that started the deception. He through them our of heaven and made the earth and man. He was sad there was so many. Creating man in His image gave man an opportunity to know who He is. Since He created life, He shows us through His son, Jesus.
We are not near the "rapture " yet. I am discouraged that so many Christians do not know God's Word for themselves but rather listen to the thoughts and opinions of experts. We are going to go through many hard trials BEFORE the great tribulation comes and many will fall away because it will be so hard. Every one of us should die to this life - the physical - now while we can. And we should seek fellowship personally with the Father, not through religion, leaders, but as a personal friend of Him. He is waiting for you.
Dear friend. I respect you opinion, but the point is not whether the rapture is yet or near. In general, this is just a theological question and its valid. Now, I dont agree with the video with the conclusion, but that is a different story. And I would think that most here are saved believers, therefore know Gods word for themself. I know it for sure and since we are transformed from glory to glory as Paul writes in 2Cor3:18, there is no reason to be disappointed. but there is also nothing wrong with expecting or looking forward to the rapture or to be with the Lord. Since Christ prepares a room for us, a dwelling place, we are reminded that we are the bride of Christ and if a bride is not eagerly looking forward for the groom to come, there is something wrong in the relationship. May the Lord bless you and help you not to be discouraged!
Lack of knowledge, lack of understanding dispensations and which one we are in!! lack of studying the Bible, lack of understanding Gods wrath (judgements) as opposed to "tribulation", lack of understand the history of Israel and the Jews, lack of knowing Gods character and lack of "no blessed hope" = going through Gods wrath/Great tribulation!
Rev 3.10-11: The Born-again Christians will not only be kept of the temptation, which will come on the whole world, but we will even be kept from „the hour“ of temptation which is to come to the whole world.
@ Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will (keep) thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come † upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. The word “keep” means= to guard (from loss or injury, properly, by keeping the eye upon. The scripture is not saying you will be removed from, it’s saying you will be protected., guarded from falling into temptation. Just the same way the children of Israel were protected from the plagues that came upon Israel. They went through them, but was guarded from them!
@@HumbleHeartMinistryYes "Kept" can also mean removed. If I keep my money "safe" "guarded" I remove it from my house and put it in a bank!!! Its "kept" safe! Kept, also = removing from this world and placed somewhere else!! Its a removing and placing elsewhere, wherever that elswhere may be.
In Matt and Mark Jesus gives us the sequence of events that happen prior to His coming and our gathering to Him : AFTER the tribulation the sun and moon will be darkened and the stars will fall, THEN the Lord will come in the clouds and THEN He will send His angels to gather together all believers.
You are right with Rev 3.10, but middle and post tribbers can‘t see it, therefore they try to steal your hope in Christ, they think they do something good, somehow they are blinded.
Hi brother Stuart ❤... That's an answer there. First, the Jews are waiting their messiah, the message is for the Jewish breed representation of the apostles, and secondly, about the church breed side, the believers dont waiting for him really because of the world attachment, Ladeodisea church can be deceived by this false messiah. The many comming in His name are religius leaders, politicians, new age supporters, scientists, chamans, etc... You name it. Because of the promise of a new lifestyle, way of living, prosperity, etc. And the big deception which is e false messiah
Brother God loves the church so much that he will rescue her to not go through the wrath of God. Why would God pour his wrath on his beloved bride. In revelations 3 10 he says he will spare us from that hour. However God is a patient and merciful king. He was very patient with Nineveh that Jonah even try to avoid preaching there because he knew if they repented they would have been forgiven. After the church is raptured God will still have mercy on the ones left behind that still haven't received the mark
You need to get a concordance. Blue Letter Bible has one. Study the difference between God’s wrath (orge) and trials and tribulations (thlipsis). See where in the New Testament these are used. Christians will suffer persecution and trials but not God’s wrath. God’s wrath is going to come after the rapture which occurs between the 6th and 7th seal openings.
@ Gods Judgements come during the Tribulation, born again believers sins where judged at the cross, - which where completely removed by the blood of Christ. Suggest you rightly divide scripture
Hell Brother Stuart. Nice catch, this will definitely cause a stir among the Pre Trib community. The blessed hope is his appearing and not the rapture as many believers are facing the first death every day until they are resurrected. Second though i have is in Matthew 24 when our messiah talks about "many will come in HIS name and saying I am he and then deceive many" - I have always read that as many counterfeit christians will come in his many and tell everyone that he truly is the messiah but then they will bring false teachings and destructive doctrines. Its like they lay the Foundation with the Gospel but then preach Heresy like Prosperity Gospel, the Charismatic movement etc. I read it this way because later in the passage in verse 23 her mentions false messiahs and prophets arising. I personally don't believe in the Pre Trib but i do believe in the Second Exodus.
i think he was refering specialy to the jews, beucase is them who are still searching for a christ, and in fact for that they will be left behind and have the one who will bring peace and then set in the temple
Are you from America? Most Americans think they are spared from tribulation. It's just our mind set we are too comfortable in our American ways and don't think we'll suffer persecution.
@@MariaMartinez-nk2fd i'm from the king of Christ. And for the comfort thing, how can you know whit who u are talking about? Let me tell you something, if i were someone which wasn't passing a good moment, and you write like that, u would have made a mistake, maybe hurting more the person, so rember to be a loving person, and if u want to teach, as Paul said, do whit love. P.S. i'm not from America, but knowing where i'm from should not change the way u talk. I study the bible, and listen avryone that does, beucase nobody know which gift has another persone, and we must be like little child, ready to learn from each other, based on the bible
@@MariaMartinez-nk2fd I should have thought being uncomfortable and suffering persecution would be more likely to result in one wishing to believe in a rapture, the hope of escape at any moment.
Good day my brother in Christ and thank you for your short message / video you have posted today. I do wish to discuss with you on a Zoom platform on the issue of pre tribulation rapture: it is not quite true as many Teach. Matt 24 is a chronological chapter, all the events follow one after another in sequence starting of with massive deception followed by wars, pandemics, etc... then the mark of the beast with God's people suffering until it gets even worse with the great time of trouble... then towards end of the chapter there will be signs in the stratosphere which will then be followed by the appearance of Jesus in the sky. May God help us to understand His plans n His second coming 🙏 🙌
Yes, I believe we will be here through it all. The first seal is the Anti Christ let loose. Jesus said “AFTER the Tribulation of those days” he will return. It also states that on the last Trump Jesus will return in the clouds with the voice of an Archangel. I believe we will be here until the last trumpet is blown in heaven but gone for God’s bowls of Wrath. So we will see and go through lots. Don’t let anymore bully you or ware you down to take the Mark. Stay strong, Jesus is with you always he has your back ❤️
Why would a false Messiah come to deceive people that he is real, if there are no Christians left on the earth to deceive? That’s is a great question! ❤
Because it's the Jews he deceives! By claiming to be the Messiah. There are certainly no true Christians left - these have been raptured & it would have been impossible to deceive them. The ones deceived are the Jews and sinful humanity. Read it. Please.
Paul says exactly that 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God My pre trib friends never address this when I ask. To me it is quite plain we see him do all this before we are taken up
Why wouldn’t the anti christ want to deceive those that are left so they don’t turn to Jesus to be saved before it’s too late? I would love to hear some thought and opinions on this!
Yes I get what your saying. For me the time that were in now is an awakening to the evil in this world. I am choosing to change my sinful ways now and turn my ❤ over to Jesus Christ. Time is short and I need to clean house. Nobody knows the days or the hours of our Lord’s 2nd coming only the Father. My eyes are fixed on Jesus and his Holy Mother, They will guide us through this valley of death. God bless you sister I pray 🙏🙏🙏
What makes us think the people who are left behind will change? If they don't do it now that the church is here. Do we think they will do it when the church is gone? The deception is great now imagine when the church is gone? They are already deceived. There is no pre-trib rapture. The church is the one to be deceived. It's getting more obvious everyday. One word Trump!
Of course he will deceive many. But according to John, millions & millions are saved (a number no man could count, from every tribe, nation & tongue). Most of the people commenting have never read the book of Revelation in its entirety. Read what it says - 'Everyone whose name does not appear in the book of life' takes the mark. They will be from every nation & religion (or no religion).
So what about the two witnesses, the 144,000 witnesses and the announcing angel in Revelation 14:6. And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on earth and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people. When the Bible mentions people who are saved they are referred to in such terms, they are called brethren, little children and such. Why aren't those terms mentioned here? Revelation 3:10 also uses the same wording. Revelation 3:10. Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I will also keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world to test those who dwell on the earth. It also uses the Greek word ek which literally means from and not out of and it also uses the whole earth instead of using brethren. Wouldn't it make sense that if John was referring to believers that he would have made that very clear which he uses in other scripture? Also, it you study both Old Testament and New Testament prophecy, you would realize that the main purpose of the tribulation is for the national salvation of Israel. Many people believe that Matthew 24-25 is about the rapture but Jesus was answering the disciples questions when these things will happen and what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age? It was written to the Jews explaining the tribulation because of the fact that they had rejected Jesus as Messiah but God does have a future plan for Israel and his promises are eternal and irrevocable. Read Romans 9-11 which explains Israel's past, present and future. Romans 11:25-26. For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery-so that you will not be wise in your own estimation-that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved. Compare that with Zechariah 13:8-9 which says that only one thing of the Jewish people will make it through the fire, ie, the tribulation. Matthew 23:37-39. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings and you were unwilling. Behold, your house is being left to you desolate! For I say unto you, from now on you will not see me until you say, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. I refer to Zechariah 12:10 also. My point is this that the tribulation is for the national salvation of national Israel but also for the judgment of an unbelieving world and not believers.
Why would God send the Two Witnesses and the 144,000 Jewish evangelists if the Church was here 'to show the way'? Do you realise you are very close to 'adding to' the book of Revelation? All the plagues of Revelation are visited on such a person! The answer is to read what God says - not to proffer an opinion.
Here is the Truth. What is the Bride of the Lamb? Revelation 21:9 "And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife." Like a wife, is having similarities to a wife, but not the wife. The church is not the Bride.
I was very neutral on this topic until my pastor made a video last fall about it. He condemned people for having a pre-tribulation viewpoint. In the spirit I was repulsed by the video. I sought the Lord and He shared with me, "In the days of Noah and Lot" and 2nd Peter. I shared this with my Pastor friend and he became angry. I knew the truth from God at that time. But, I don't think God wants us to focus on it as much as following His lead and doing His calling in our daily lives.
If your pastor is condemning Christians who believe in pre-trib I have to wonder if he knows what salvation is. It doesn’t matter what we believe about the rapture or the timing of Christ return. That’s not what saves us. If we are truly born again, we will go in the rapture whenever it is.
Lot fled in terror, and what Noah went through would have been far worse… most pre-trib Christian’s believe that it’s just like a ride on a cloud or some glorious experience that is to be enjoyed. Rv 6 talks about being killed. Josiah was killed to escape the coming tribulation. Is 57,1 “The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one considers that the righteous are taken away from the presence of evil. 2Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death. God Condemns Idolatry 3“But come here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes! 4Whom are you mocking? At whom do you sneer and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit…?”
@@With-one-wing it does matter because the teaching is in the word of God. will you lose your inheritance for a bowl of stew. Here is something that may help you. 2Th 2:1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, The word Coming taken from the blue letter Bible means : παρουσία 1. presence 2. the coming, arrival, advent 3. the future visible return from heaven of Jesus, to raise the dead, hold the last judgment, and set up formally and gloriously the kingdom of God The third meaning gives us more clarity and understanding what Jesus will do when He returns. Raise the dead 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Hold last judgement Hebrew 9:27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation Set up the kingdom of God. Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” As you can clearly see when Jesus returns ( 2Th 2:1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, ) It is to raise the dead What happens after Jesus rises the dead (Thessalonians 4:16 ) Apart from judgement and setting up the kingdom of God ? 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord King Jesus can’t do all the things above until the satan is bound for a 1000 years including the dead being raised or the gathering to meet the Lord in the air. …
@@messagesforourtime9306no there is not!!!!! A second coming!!! There is no secret rapture,you hobbyists heaven been in this verse for decades,when it became popular in the church,thinking you are magically going to dissapear,it makes no sence whatsoevER!!!!!
In the parable of the ten virgins, all of them were followers of the Bridegroom and were waiting for His coming. BUT only half of them were actually READY. The other half were not wise and not therefore not ready. The Bridegroom took with Him only those who were READY. The rest of His followers who were not wise nor ready He left behind. Therefore this would indicate that there will be MANY people who profess faith in Christ who will be left behind on the earth at the rapture. These are the 'followers' who could be easily deceived by false christs during the Tribulation.
Have you looked into why Americans believe in the rapture? Do a little digging and you'll see this is a new doctrine. The pilgrims themselves didn't believe in it.
@MariaMartinez-nk2fd The digging I have done is in the Bible itself. Sad that so many in the church don't want to believe that their Bridegroom is coming for them and that they will be caught up to meet Him in the air and so shall ever be with Him. Caught up is 'Harpazo'. Google it. The Tribulation is the time of the outpouring of God's wrath on a Christ-rejecting world. Also Paul said we (believers) are not appointed to WRATH but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. As God's wrath is poured out DURING the Tribulation but BELIEVERS are NOT APPOINTED to it but to OBTAIN salvation, it is clear that we will NOT be on the earth during the Tribulation. As this is Paul's understanding and has written about it under the power of the Holy Spirit in Holy Scripture then that is the truth. Anything else is a deception.
@@MariaMartinez-nk2fdGreek word harpazo, used by Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:16, is the biblical term for the event that's popularly called the rapture. Harpazo literally means "to take forcibly," "to snatch," or "to be carried away". The origin of the term extends from the First Epistle to the Thessalonians in the Bible, which uses the Greek word harpazo (Ancient Greek: ἁρπάζω), meaning "to snatch away" or "to seize".The word "rapture" comes from the Greek verb harpazo, which means "to seize upon, spoil, snatch away, or take to oneself". It is used in the Bible in Acts 8:39, 2 Cor 12:2, 4, 1 Thess 4:17, and Rev 12:5. In these passages, harpazo is translated as "caught up" or "caught away". What does the Greek word harpazo mean? This word was taken from the Greek verb harpazo, meaning, “to seize upon, spoil, snatch away or take to oneself,” especially used of rapture (Acts 8:39; 2 Cor 12:2, 4; 1. Thess 4:17; Rev 12:5). Harpazo is translated “caught up” or “caught away” the five times (out of.What did Jesus say about the rapture? Matthew 24:40: “Two men will be in the field; and one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.” The rapture is necessary because believers are not appointed to God's wrath. It is one of our gifts from God for being obedient.How many times is Harpazo in the Bible? 🙏 What is Harpazo and is it in the Bible? Yes, the word is found 14 times in the original Greek transcripts of of Bible scriptures. In later Latin translations it is referred to as rapio , and in English translations it is referred to as the 'snatching, seizing and catching up' of believers. 🕊 🙏
@@MariaMartinez-nk2fd No, I would disagree with you. The rapture can be found and is debated since the 1st century. The Apostolic Brethren in northern Italy where actually prosecuted for their teaching of of the rapture prior to the tribulation in 1215... And there are many more examples. You might want to argue against a pre-trib rapture. Thats fine with me, eventhough that is debated up to 1st century with Clemens of Rome, Polycarb e.a. But to argue the rapture itself as a new doctrine shows a huge misunderstanding of scripture. We have the rapture of Enoch, the rapture of Elijah, Jesus, Philip and Paul. Even the word "rapture" is in the Bible. And not only the latin bible, but also ours, since the "snatching away" is just the Greek "harpazo", the core of that word is "rap", eventhough it is pronounced differently in the Greek. But what we have here is a classical transliteration. Not a translation, but a transliteration, that the original word got adapted to fit into the way words are used in a different language. I hope that helps with this topic and may God bless you!
The Ten Virgins Parable: There is only one Bride of Christ, who is snatched away; taken suddenly (raptured). In Matthew 25:7 it says "go ye out to meet him." That is not being (Raptured). And In verse 12 it says "verily I say unto you, I know you not." The rapture is not associated with the Lord answering the unbeliever. But the "unbeliever" is addressed with Jesus judging those at the Second Coming. This is found in the Matthew 25:31-46 sheep and goat judgement. Also "The marriage" in Matthew25:10, can also be interpreted in the Greek language for "wedding feast." See Revelation 19:9. WEDDING FEAST: γάμος (1062) Find all occurrences (approximately 16) 1. a wedding or marriage festival, a wedding banquet, a wedding feast. 2. marriage, matrimony No Believer will miss the Rapture, but will lose rewards. 1 Corinthians 3:1-15. Shalom...
Its important to rightly divide scripture and also to understand whom Christ spoke to in many instances. Sometimes Christ spoke to Jews and other times he spoke to gentiles and other times he spoke to everybody.
@@messagesforourtime9306 YES HE DOES..read it again! Verse 4 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, THE DISCIPLES CAME UNTO HIM PRIVATELY, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And JESUS ANSWERED and SAID UNTO THEM, Take heed that no man deceive you. Peter, James, John & Andrew are Jews. How much clearer can that be?
@@messagesforourtime9306Stuart, you either have a problem with the English language or you are deliberately trying to cause dissention. You too will stand before Christ.
Look up the Greek for “rightly dividing” it doesn’t mean what you are implying, it means to stay on a straight path forward, specifically to “cut a straight line forward looking at the goal”. Fact check that please.
@@LibbySlaughter101 I have given many scriptures and answered many of his questions, and I too have come to the same conclusion, either he just does not understand the Bible, dispensation, Israel/ Jewish history and end times wrath.

Amen!!! I think the true meaning of Matt 24:5 is people who confess and believe in Jesus but are giving a false message. The pre-trib rapture is false and deceitful. Jesus specifically says we will have tribulation. Jesus did promise to save us from God’s wrath, but not from the world. Now is the time to store extra oil for our lamp and not waist time thinking we will be taken out of this world, John 17:15-19
Well I am sorry dear friend but you are very wrong. What born again Christian do you know who claims to be Jesus Christ? There are many people now living who claim to be Christ but none are Christians. The pre trib Rapture is certainly not false, it's origin started with the Apostle Paul & continued through the ages - although it was certainly 'smothered' during the dark ages, as was much truth. You need to study the scriptures yourself before simply offering an opinion. There are many false teachers on the Internet & they are clever - posing as 'Godly', conservative people - they won't beat you over the head, they will quietly introduce their destructive heresies.
Just a thought....Rev 7 :9 says a vast multitude will be saved in the tribulation period so the beast from the sea and the beast from the earth and the dragon want to deceive as many as possible.
Read Rev 7 in context 1-2 four angels given to hurt the earth and sea 3 Told not to UNTIL another angel has sealed the foreheads of the servants of God. 4. 144,000 sealed (the tribes of Israel) 5-8 lists the tribes. THIS HAPPENS just at or shortly after the rapture because we are the great multitude. V14 These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Great tribulation is not Gods wrath. We are in tribulation now. We are in the dispensation of grace through faith, we are washed in the blood of the Lamb. Anyone that gets saved during Gods wrath AFTER the rapture will not be under grace. Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12 HERE IS THE PATIENCE of the saints: here are they that KEEP the commandments of God, AND the faith of Jesus. There are 2 qualifications in v12 to get saved.
@@messagesforourtime9306 I don't think they are Jews. It says that crowd are from every NATION, tribe, language and people. It's gentiles that were left on earth after the rapture.
There is Deception all over the place. Yeshua our Messiah said many will come in His name saying He is the Messiah ( this they may say all the while they are being deceptive ) and others will be deceptively saying that they are Messiah. Rapture occurs when Messiah comes back. It's so very clear to you and to me and to others as well. We must pray for those that don't get it as it really is an important understanding.
Fortunately, I will NOT be here to see the Tribulation. John 14:3 says "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Where is Jesus? The answer is Heaven. If He is going to prepare a place for me. Where would this location be located at? Earth? No! It is Heaven! 1st Thessalonians 4:16 says "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words." Do you really think that as a Believer in Jesus that I'm going to suffer in the Tribulation? How is this comforting to believers?
@@roberttaylor9825 It is interesting that most post tribers disparagingly label others not believing in it when the Holy Spirit brings gentleness, calmness, love, and humility. This should send a message to people, but often it does not, because people aren't using the Holy Spirit as their guide. All we can do is pray the God shows people the truth.
No Anne it certainly is not a man made heresy. It is very biblical if you rightly divide the Word of Truth and understand from scripture where it is talking/referring to the Jews rather than the Born again believing church. This is where the error is found. Matthew 24 refers to the Jews who will still be here (not the messianic ones who will have already been taken to heaven for the marriage supper of The Lamb) Believers who have the Holy Spirit in them cannot be subjected to wrath as it was all poured out on Jesus on the cross. God cannot punish Jesus again. We are saved from the wrath to come. Amen
NOTHING IN MATHEW 24, TELLS US THAT JESUS IS ONLY TALKING TO THE JEWS!!!
i said i think... but also nothing says that is refering to avryone. Reading again and again the chapter, i'm more prone to think in this way. In fact i made a study this morning, i can say that i have a clear vision. In the apocalipse is written avrything, we probably go up after the darkness, in the 6 sigill, but is my interpretation, nothing more.
@@messagesforourtime9306 no problem applying salvation message like John 3:16 but the prophecies apply to the Jews. All the OT is addressed to Israel but some apply it to gentiles and the church and there comes replacement theology that the church has replaced Israel.😟😟

Actually that is not correct. ....he is talking to JUST THE DISCIPLES (Jewish)..Matthew 24:3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, THE DISCIPLES CAME TO HIM PRIVATELY, SAYING, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

Thank you Brother Stuart! Eyes up! Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Acts 16:31 "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Colossians 1:14 "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:" Salvation is obtained by simply believing in Jesus' death (Blood sacrifice), burial and resurrection with all your heart for payment of all your sins, past, present and future.
I'm so amazed at how our Lord and Savior operates and let's us know He is in control and at work in our lives! I just read Matthew 24 this morning and was shown the same!
This has been happening to me a lot lately.
Praise our Father!
God Bless you!
Dear friend, I respect your bible studies and being guided by God. however I like to emphasize to be careful with reading things into the scripture or understanding it in a certain way and then arguing that this is what God via the Holy Spirit wants you to know and showed you.
If you were "shown the same" like what was mentioned in the Bible, then I see (my comment above) one big problem. If we are here on earth when the antichrist is revealed because otherwise there would not be any christian to be deceived, then you need to ask with what purpose a christian, a saved believer is deceived. If you then argue that such a saved believer, deceived by satan can lose his salvation, then you preach the gospel of salvation by your own works (read Galatians 1 for that) and then what you think God wanted you to know turns out to be a false gospel and not the word of God but the evil word of the antichrist.
I think its pretty dangerous to believe, that every way we understand scripture is automatically the correct way. Or in other words, I pray for the same wisdom by the spirit as you do and also believe that I am guided by God, but I come to completely different conclusions. Therefore in the understanding of scripture, there seems to be the same free will that lets you either reject or accept Christ Jesus. We are still sinners in a fallen world and we and not fully enlightened by the truth.
Have that in mind and I wish you all the best for your journey. God bless you my friend! Its a blessing to see that so many people seek Christ and are saved.
@@sheepmonkey I read it too and the Holy Spirit did NOT show me such an interpretation. Be very careful who you think has the Holy Spirit because this is the time of deception Jesus warned of. And false teachers are not going to appear wearing a set of horns & carrying a pitchfork. No, they will appear as 'angels of light' - some will be sweet talking women, others will be benign appearing elderly men. Be on guard.

Dear Stuart, God Bless You. May I please ask you for your prayers? I was just informed that I have to pay double property taxes or lose my home? I am just sobbing. After losing my wife, I became a cat lover-I now will lose all my extended family. I would appreciate any and all prayers.
Love in Christ,

John, so sorry to hear about this. If I may, I would like to ask our Father in heaven to grant you grace and the validity of all His promises. He has you in His safe arms and nothing can come to separate you from Him. He knows exactly what is happening to you and feels even worse than you do, as He stands by you when you are awake and sits by you when you sleep, albeit restless. Allow Him to share in this situation. If we don't really believe and trust Him, the rule He made that according to our faith so shall it be unto us, our unbelief can tie the omnipotence of His hands.
If there is anything practical you can do from your side then do what you can, and then let go of the issue, so that God can work on your behalf, resting and trusting in Him. This will probably be a traumatic experience either way, but as I sit here and contemplate our families current situation (we all refused the jab and lost our jobs: virtually no work to be found for three of us now for three years), where we are trying to sell our home to survive, but it is as if the Lord has placed us in a desert and we are experiencing what it means to truly and fully trust Him, as children would their parent. This is a time of great and wonderful teaching from the Lord as to what it means to trust Him even when there is seemingly no hope whatsoever. This is a lie from your enemy. Return to the Lord's Word and believe that he will never leave nor forsake you, especially in this situation. Let Him work on your behalf and rest in Him, daily. What is the worst that can happen? We can die, yet we will be with our Father forever, without death, fear, pain, tears or failure. Jesus suffered for us and we are part of His family and will search us out whatever comes around and as we trust , He will carry the load, the labor and the longing of this present trial.
I find your voice reassuring and your messages and readings calming in this troubled world we now live in. And reading the comments below i'm not alone. Thank you.
The Holy Spirit guides us into all truth.
And He says, REPENT and be Baptized for the remission of Sins, RECEIVE your New Heart and Transform your mind (Spiritual Maturity), and RECONCILE with your FATHER in Heaven, Adonai, FATHER of Jacob and our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ/Yeshua who Delivered Us from a Snare of the Enemy... Amen... Accept or Reject??? I Pray that this Blesses you... 🙏🏽 LetUsPRAY against the Spiritual Wickedness... Amen...
The people that get saved after the rapture will be those that realised their loved ones were telling them the truth, ie, non believers that are here now, as well as those that missed the rapture because they were trusting in themselves and their works instead of trusting in Jesus Christ’s perfect finished work. All born again believers in this age of Grace, are completely forgiven, justified and reconciled to God the Father. Gods Judgements are for an unbelieving world. I’m waiting for my blessed hope, and we are told to comfort one another - ref, Thessalonians, there’s no comfort in waiting for your head to be chopped off.
All who have heard the gospel in this age and not believed will not get a second chance after the rapture, read 2nd Thessalonians ch 2
@@bigbruno56wrong, God wants no one to perish. This is why those that believe and get saved during the Tribulation period will be hunted down by the Anti Christs army and be beheaded, for their witness and testimony, that Jesus Christ is their Saviour. Read Revelation 20:4 ( KJV )
And how will those loved ones be converted if the Holy Spirit is taken away? That's what is taught. Supposedly the Jews become Christian after the Rapture and go out to convert the world. That is nonsense on all levels, but they have no Holy Spirit to convert anyone. Do you see this?
@@markh4926 The holy spirit will revert to dealing with people in the tribulation the way he dealt with those in the old testament, he will come alongside (The Paraclete---Paracletos means one who comes alongside) whereas in this age we are sealed Eph 1:13, and those who get saved are people who have not heard the gospel in this age or rejected Christ in this age, whereas our loved ones have rejected the Lord now and according to 2nd Thess 2 they will all be blinded.
@@markh4926 you receive the Holy Spirit from God, the moment you believe, trust in Jesus Christ for your Salvation. So all believers, currently will be removed from earth - but those that get saved during the Tribulation will receive the Holy Spirit.
The pretrib view is not a second coming, the Lord appears in the air and takes us to be with him. The tribulation is the time of Jacobs trouble, Anti-Christ comes to deceive Israel and the rest of the unbelieving world... not the church. He can't while we're still here, we'd expose and call him out.
The problem is that I can't find a pretrib rapture anywhere in scripture. It has to be read into the Bible.
I would love for you folks to be right, but if you're not, you're going to be ill prepared for what's coming.
@@brianmatthews4323See Rev 3.10-11 and Rev 4.1.
Because when the church leaves, many will repent and call out to God , ...there will be many "new" Christians. Yes there will be many that the Antichist needs to persuade.
The False comes first......Anyone teaching pre Tribulatuon rapture is false period. It's a ( resurrection) AFTER the Tribulatuon when Jesus the Christ returns.

@ronniepace8778 My dear friend, Revelation doesn't say that, rather it says 'All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast - all whose names HAVE NOT BEEN WRITTEN IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.' (Revelation 13:8)
If you are a believer in Christ your name is written in the Lamb's book of life.
Many who have heard God's word before and present will realize they were wrong and what they were being told by loved ones was true. My own uncle told me he was Christ. I wasn't deceived, but just smiled at him and didn't debate. I don't think that was the reaction he was expecting. In the end, he requested I come see him in the hospital and he had a bible in his room. He pointed to the bible. I lead him to the Lord that day. Debate can cause division, God is the only one who knows when he is coming back. I just need to spread his word.
Well done! We are not far from the rapture.
Good to see you again Stuart !
Gobless , good message
There will be people that think they are Christians that are left here. There are many people that think they are saved, but are not.
That's a fact.
Yes Steph, and I was one of them until the Lord saved me, so good point
We must be born again just as Jesus said ✝️💕
Nope. There are Christians that will be left behind. They are a part of the lukewarm church of Laodicean which you obviously are one of them
@@WatchwomanforChrist82 You obviously don't understand grace then
Personally I'm solidly post-trib. Many conflate TRIBULATION with WRATH. They are not the same. We WILL experience the tribulation, but we are not appointed unto God's wrath.
Good morning from Kansas. Hope you and yours are doing well.
Amen.
Amen. Simply reading Scripture literally brings that super simple Revelation.
rapture and return of the Lord are the same event. No pre-trib rapture. Good afternoon from Glasgow
@@y.cschmidlin8172 Yes. The glorious appearing of our Lord, His return, is when the rapture shall occur. And according to scripture that will definitely occur after the period of great tribulation.
At Christ's appearing two things shall take place.
He shall gather His church out of this world. Then.....He shall unleash His father's wrath upon the rest of humanity.
The TRUE message of end time prophecy is not to try and guess the hour, but to be prepared on a day by day basis.
Jesus's return could be in 15 mins or 1500 years.
@bryguy8203 Well said. The Bible is not so unclear as many try to claim. If one reads it with an open mind and heart many things become clear. Unfortunately millions of Christians get their theology from extra-biblical sources. And that includes pastors. Larkin's chart is a prime example of this. It's is terribly incorrect in it's sequence of events, yet people cling to it as though it were scripture. It has been used by pastors for many decades and poisoned the minds of countless millions.
Being ready is a “moment by moment process” amen. Say it again for those sitting in the back. 👏
Excellent point, Sir! Thank you and may God bless you and keep you safe and healthy.
One thing to consider brother is who was Jesus sent to? Who was he talking to in Matthew 24 ? There was no church or Christian. He was speaking to the Jews not the church and 24 covers what will happen to the Jews that is why Jesus warns them about the abomination of desolation coming. Then removal of some Jews which is spoken of in the book of the Revelation. The church is not appointed to the wrath of God which what the tribulation is. In Revelation 3:10 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Notice to try them who dwell upon the earth. Many Christians get confused with the scripture because of terrible teaching. God bless you brother
Never thought of it that way. Definitely gives you a reason to go back and restudy and to pray harder.
Yes that makes a lot of sense. God bless you brother 🙏
Does it really? Read the comment I made and get back to me. God bless!
I think there are three sets of those saved. The old testament saints, the church age (bride of Christ, New testament saints) and tribulation saints. In Revelation it was asked, who are They? And it was said they were those who were saved during tribulation who were beheaded (paraphrasing). After the church is removed, there are the two witnesses, the 144,000 Jews, and the angel in the air proclaiming the everlasting gospel. So even though we're gone, God still provides a way to spread His Word. It doesn't say how much time or if immediately the 7 years start. Since the rapture will definitely be an unreal time, and people will be scared, the people have to be convinced that everything will be ok in order to follow the false light and antichrist. Many will remember hearing about Jesus and will probably try to find answers so that's a possible time the false Christs pop up? I'm guessing at the last question.
False Christs is plural. I believe we will see an uptick of these before the pre trib rapture. Anyway…God will bring all to pass according to His will. I will find strength in the blessed hope even in the midst of trial and tribulation.
In fact many already follow false Christs in the woke churches.
Yes, watch Jamie Walden - The Great Deception. It is his most recent video.
Firstly Matthew 24 is addressed to Jews, Stuart, context, context! Secondly there have been many Antichrists over the years. You need to watch Lee Brainard on the subject, he’s done his homework!
Exactly on target 🎯 Our savior is not technologies or our presidents or earthly kings. Blessed are those who follow the Lamb of God!!!!!!!!
I am totally convinced that once the true believers are raptured, that those who believed themselves worthy of transcendence but are left behind will sort this out and become either offended or even more dedicated. It will be a moment of refining fire, if you will, to perfect their devotion even though they will endure the tribulation. The false messiah will work even harder than what is happening now to break their will and cause them to give up faithless.
All the Bible says, the restrainer will be gone before he’s revealed
Correct, and the Restrainer is the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers. Our presence on the earth is what is holding him back. Blessings.
@@be_still_and_know_946 indeed!
Just a thought Stuart. In Thessalonians it says that the sky will part andca loud voice will shout.."Come up here"..and the dead in Christ will rise first, and then the living, and they will be changed in an instant. After this event, many of those that are left behind will beg God for forgiveness, and will turn to God. Are these the ones who satan will try and deceive with the false Jesus routine?
Read Daniel 8 and 11.21-end.
The little horn has already been on the scene for a long time. Look how Christian’s were not only deceived by him but literally ushered him in.
Recall the snake poem? Why do you think he like it so much? He’s saying ‘you’ let me in-as in you didn’t know any better and just listened to him spew his nonsense. A tree is recognizable by its fruit. His fruit is destruction, mayhem, division. It’s all ego and ignorance based. The image of it being wonderful or something positive, is due to the illusion created with mind control. Always blaming his enemies, deflecting, and shamelessly lying and slandering. It’s the big lie. It’s too unbelievable that someone could be so malevolent and devilish. Yet that is what the AC is doing right now. He flattered the Christian community and that made it hard for them to see the wolf underneath. But then that is the power of lawlessness. It’s all about mind control, which is all about idolatry. Ie creating images in our minds and changing our perception of reality =creating illusion.
“I alone can fix it.” That’s the routine.
=he’s already done it.
No! They have realised their error and 'turned to God'. There are the Tribulation Saints - martyred for Christ. -
This is not a guessing game. All the answers are in Scripture, but all of Scripture must be read.
The bible teaches that the Day of the Lord is the day Jesus Christ returns and gathers together all the dead in Christ (first), followed by the living in Christ that are still alive at that moment.... and that day is also to destroy the false prophet and antichrist.
I asked myself a tough question a year or two ago... the answer came easier than expected and immediately. The question was, what would the devil have to gain from people believing in a pretrib rapture if it a false teaching? The answer was.... because those who believe that false teaching are not expecting the persecution from the rising and revealing of the antichrist.... and thus will be far more vulnerable when trouble arrives on the church and will be more likely to take the mark of the beast when they start getting hungry, because they are hit with what they never expected to happen to them.
And why the need for believers to endure the great tribulation? Because true Christians are refined through suffering, false ones fall away and their real god is revealed (themselves, and their father is indeed the devil)
1 Peter 4:7
“But the *END OF ALL THINGS* is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
Believing in a before tribulation rapture, does not mean that it is the true Gospel of Christ.
It is better to believe Christ(God).
Amos " *Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to *what end is it for you*?
When will Christ return? Before Tribulation or After Tribulation?
The preachers say Pretribulation (before), but
Jesus says "After the tribulation of those days. " Who are you going to believe? man or God?
"LET GOD BE TRUE, AND EVERY MAN A LIAR."
Matthew 24:36, KJV. “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,but only the Father
Christ comes back at the *last day*, at the *last trumpet*, at the end of time, when time ceases to exist, when *time is no longer*.
Christ is the Beginning ( Alpha).
Christ is the End ( Omega).
Matthew 24:3-5, KJV
"And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the *sign of Thy coming*, and of *the end of the world*? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."
Daniel 12:4, KJV
"But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the *time of the end*. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”
Revelation 10:6 (KJV) - “And sware by Him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be *TIME NO LONGER*. “
What is time?
Mornings and evenings = days, weeks, months and years= time. *Time began for earth and everything in it, at creation*.
Genesis 1:5 KJV. "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the *FIRST DAY*.
What gives us time? The lights in the firmament. The sun, moon and stars gives us time.
"And God said, Let there be LIGHTS *IN* the FIRMAMENT of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for SIGNS, and for SEASONS, and for *DAYS*, and *YEARS*: and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so." Genesis 1:14-19 KJV
With the days, weeks, months, and years passing, one grows older with the passing of *time.*
It is written in Matthew 24: 29 -31, KJV.*
"*Immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days* *shall the SUN BE DARKENED, and the MOON SHALL NOT GIVE HER LIGHT, and the STARS SHALL FALL FROM HEAVEN, and the POWERS OF THE HEAVENS SHALL BE SHAKEN:* *And THEN SHALL APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN:
Joel 2:31, KJV
"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come."
Isaiah 13:10 KJV
"For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine."
Luke 21:25, KJV
"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;"
Revelation 6:12, KJV
"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;"
Luke 21:25-27, "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."
What happens to time, when the following happens?
the sun darkness(shines no longer)?
the moon shall not give her light?
the stars shall fall from heaven?
Correct! *Time No Longer*
Believe God.
DO NOT BELIEVE THE FALSE DOCTRINES and the false wordly education, nor satan's gospels from his many satanic-christian churches and religions, and his demonic educational systems. Satan has deceived the whole world.
"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil and *satan, which *deceiveth the whole world*: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." Revelation 12:9, KJV.
Unlearn All The Lies. As Christians we cannot and must not love lies. Lies are unrighteousness.
"And with all *deceivableness* of *unrighteousness in them that perish*; *because they received not the love of the truth*, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they *all might be damned who believed not the truth*, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12, KJV.
"For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whor3mongers, and murd3r3rs, and idolaters, and whosoever *loveth and maketh a lie*."
Revelation 22:15 KJV.
Amos 5:18-27 KJV. " Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to *what end is it for you*? the day of the LORD is *darkness*, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him."
Joel 2: 2, KJV. "A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations."
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, *which didst weaken the nations*!
Isaiah 14:16-17 King James Version (KJV)
They that see thee(satan/lucifer) shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this *the man* that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
The 5 i- wills of lucifer(satan).
Isaiah 14:13 "King James Version
verse 13, "For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:"
Ezekiel 28:14-17, KJV
"Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee."

I agree with you brother. Revelation 20:4 explains that true believers will refuse this mark, and many will be executed as a result.
Which also ties into 2nd Thess, I believe is where the scripture states. .... They who are alive and remain will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air...
God seems to respond after something happens. My question always was, what happens that God needs to swoop up his children to safety so he can pour out His wrath.
Bringing the antichrist on scene and killing off millions of believers would do just that... hmmmm interesting... I love Stewart's teachings!
Remember the wise vs. foolish virgins, tribulation saints. Zola Levitts' book A Christian Love Story explained the wedding feast of 1st century Israel, knowing this eliminates lots of confusion.
@@brotherrick2553 What you are proposing is a 'mid tribulation' Rapture. Because (according to Revelation) the mark of the beast is not ENFORCED until half way through the Tribulation. And according to Revelation, millions upon millions who refuse the mark of the beast ARE killed. Not raptured! - Stewart advocates a post tribulation Rapture - when billions are dead.
And if the remaining Christians are raptured at this point, they receive celestial bodies according to Paul. In this case there are no believers left on earth to re-populate the earth for the Millennial reign of Christ.
@LibbySlaughter101 I personally believe in a pretrib rapture. Based on my own reading of the bibe. Since the Bible is not exactly clear, hence all the different beliefs and arguments, I am open to hearing and comparing others' thoughts on the matter. I don't know everything.
My true stance is this, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ with all your mind, heart, body, and soul. That He died for our sins and His blood is the only way to salvation. To be excitedly expecting Jesus at any moment. To tell others of the salvation of Jesus Christ. Let God worry about when He comes for His church and to live each day to the Lord, for the Lord, and following His will.
I care more about saving people and getting them to the party rather than worrying about when the rapture is.
Stay vigilant, stay strong in His word, keep the commandments of our savior, Jesus Christ 🙏

Jesus said the gate is narrow and many will seek to enter but will not be able. They will say Lord, Lord, but be rejected because He did not know them. I pray we all know without a doubt that He is our first love. 🙏🏻
I saw a really good video about that 'love and the greatest commandment' on the channel 'follow the lamb today' you may be interested
Truly born again believers can never be deceived only those who don’t accept Jesus now will certainly be deceived because God will send strong delusions for them those who rejected Jesus after hearing the Gospel. Those who don’t believe the Truth (Jesus) now will then believe the Antichrist (lie).
That's not true. Who are the number no one can count? These are the Tribulation Saints - most will probably be nominal Christians now, not born again. But there will also be millions from 'every tribe, nation and tongue' who evidently respond to the preaching of the Two Witnesses & 144,000 Jewish evangelists. Scripture teaches that the ones deceived are those whose names are not written in the book of life! God does not say they are deceived Christians! That's why you have to read Scripture.
I am so happy to see you back.
Great question! I will continue to keep praying for everyone that still needs to surrender & return to the Lord for the Gospel is the "Good News" that Jesus Christ the son of God died for our sins & arose again on the third day; so always trust, obey & believe in our Lord Jesus Christ & thou shall be saved. If you haven't done so, please repent now before it's too late. For truly all the praise, honor & glory belongs to God for He is the great "I AM". Only He can save us from all the evilness in this world! Keep trusting & praising God in all things in your life! AMEN
I've stopped concerning about when, if I die before ill see you in heaven with Jesus
The Bible doesn't say the Antichrist will only deceive Christians. He will deceive the world but many will become Christians at this time when the 144,000 evangelise the world. These will be the great crowd who come out of the the great tribulation. Jesus meets believers in the air but doesn't return to the earth until after the great tribulation.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say the 144,000 sealed are going to evangelize the world. This is a perfect example of how 'Christians' read their own desires into what they think the word of God is.
Please cite the verse that says the 144,000 will evangelize anyone. Thanks. 🙏
John 5:43 (talking to the Jews) 'I am come in my Father's name and ye receive me not. If another (AC) shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.' - Jesus doesn't come to the whole world in the Rapture, he comes on the clouds, for his bride - the Church - So yes, the AC does come first - after the 7yr Tribulation Jesus comes in the second advent - this time he sets foot on the earth - the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4). -
These are those who are deceived 'All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast - all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.' (Revelation 13:8) - these are obviously people of every religion, and no religion. But we always need to remember that the Tribulation is actually called 'Jacob's Trouble' - it is the final dealing of God with the Jews.
Good message, I agree with you 100%
To decieve the people that never believed in Jesus in the first place
The people who did not believe are not called the elect
@@stevenwithaph9785 Dear brother, I think you might miss the point in the original post. Its called "Jacobs trouble" for a reason, because its the tribulation for the Jews who rejected Christ Jesus. There are many to turn to Christ, from Israel as well as the nations during that 7 years. And we must also not forget the 144000, the bible talks about, the hidden ones, covered by the protective hand of God.

@@geraldgriffin7250 Amen, Revelation 20:4
Excellent point. Matthew 24:24 if possible even the elect.
Excellent point! Thank you so much for pointing that out. I agree. Also read 2 Thessalonians 2. Verses 3 and 4 say: 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Have you not noticed the great falling away? Pastors are not male. Holy Communion is given to sinners. The gospel is changed to a prosperity gospel etc etc etc And the man of sin on the world stage.
Good to see and hear you Stuart !!!
That’s a very interesting thought . I’ve always believed in the pre trib rapture , you are certainly giving me something to think about . Come back soon with your next video🙏🏼
But if that statement in the video is true, then what is the purpose of Christians, saved believers being deceived as Satan can not snatch a believer our of Christ hand, hence can not cause that we are no longer saved...?
John 10:28 says that nobody can snatch us out of Christs hand. We are saved by grace, not works. Enduring tribulation - ok, but not for the sake of salvation. That is by grace alone and not of works. Why withstanding being deceived, if that is works we could boast about but all the glory shall be to God?
My point is, that way of thinking is too short, since it changes the gospel of grace lone.
God bless!
An interesting point Stuart, thank you for sharing this. ✝️💜🙏🏻🕊️
Rev. 1 thru 3 is before the rapture... Rev 4 thru 22 is after the rapture...
behold, a door standing open in heaven...
Thank you Stuart. God bless.
Good question 🤔 makes sense the antichrist will appear after the restraint/ church is gone he can't appear until then and he will decieve many into believing he's the Christ
Rapture is before the great TRIBULATION which is Gods wrath when the judgements are poured out on the beast etc and those who took his mark.
Tribulation isn't Wrath. The change to Wrath is at Matthew 24:29
@@messagesforourtime9306Gods wrath does not start at Matthew 24:29. Firstly Jesus is speaking to the Jews Matthew 24 is Jewish in context. V20 "pray your flight not take place on the sabbath"
V16 "let those in Judea flee"
Its mainly Jewish because Jesus had not risen and died, they were not in our dispensation and would not be raptured. Jesus knew the Jews would not accept him and would face Gods wrath, so this is directed at them
2nd Gods wrath Rev 16 starts with sores on people who took the mark. So the rapture takes place before this point, In relation to matt 24 v15 the abomination of desolation is the anti christ..Why do you think the people in Judea at told to flee to the hills? He's giving out the mark! Do you live in Judea? Are you Jewish?!! The rapture doesn't apply to them. Some of the events will be witnessed by gentiles left after the rapture.
After the rapture everything centres on Israel and the Jews.
If your going to speak to 1000s of people on line about this, you need to be absolutely sure your views are correct and that only comes from years and years of study and time with the Holy Spirit.
Thank you 🙏
God bless you brother in Christ, from NY.
Very good point! 😊God bless you! Tami from Indiana, US
Hi Stuart, thank you and God bless you and your family. I believe since the beginning of time and the world being cursed under sin. Many angels turned their backs in God, and that started the deception. He through them our of heaven and made the earth and man. He was sad there was so many. Creating man in His image gave man an opportunity to know who He is. Since He created life, He shows us through His son, Jesus.
We are not near the "rapture " yet. I am discouraged that so many Christians do not know God's Word for themselves but rather listen to the thoughts and opinions of experts. We are going to go through many hard trials BEFORE the great tribulation comes and many will fall away because it will be so hard. Every one of us should die to this life - the physical - now while we can. And we should seek fellowship personally with the Father, not through religion, leaders, but as a personal friend of Him. He is waiting for you.
Dear friend. I respect you opinion, but the point is not whether the rapture is yet or near. In general, this is just a theological question and its valid. Now, I dont agree with the video with the conclusion, but that is a different story. And I would think that most here are saved believers, therefore know Gods word for themself. I know it for sure and since we are transformed from glory to glory as Paul writes in 2Cor3:18, there is no reason to be disappointed.
but there is also nothing wrong with expecting or looking forward to the rapture or to be with the Lord. Since Christ prepares a room for us, a dwelling place, we are reminded that we are the bride of Christ and if a bride is not eagerly looking forward for the groom to come, there is something wrong in the relationship.
May the Lord bless you and help you not to be discouraged!
What are these 'hard trials' you refer to? It seems you are unfamiliar with prophecy.
Truth, we've been trying to tell our friends the same message.
Lack of knowledge, lack of understanding dispensations and which one we are in!! lack of studying the Bible, lack of understanding Gods wrath (judgements) as opposed to "tribulation", lack of understand the history of Israel and the Jews, lack of knowing Gods character and lack of "no blessed hope" = going through Gods wrath/Great tribulation!
No humility= no understanding!
Rev 3.10-11: The Born-again Christians will not only be kept of the temptation, which will come on the whole world, but we will even be kept from „the hour“ of temptation which is to come to the whole world.
@ Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will (keep) thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come † upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. The word “keep” means= to guard (from loss or injury, properly, by keeping the eye upon. The scripture is not saying you will be removed from, it’s saying you will be protected., guarded from falling into temptation. Just the same way the children of Israel were protected from the plagues that came upon Israel. They went through them, but was guarded from them!
@@HumbleHeartMinistryLOL. Very sarcastic comment from someone who calls themselves "Humble Heart Ministry"!!!
@@HumbleHeartMinistryYes "Kept" can also mean removed.
If I keep my money "safe" "guarded" I remove it from my house and put it in a bank!!! Its "kept" safe!
Kept, also = removing from this world and placed somewhere else!!
Its a removing and placing elsewhere, wherever that elswhere may be.
In Matt and Mark Jesus gives us the sequence of events that happen prior to His coming and our gathering to Him : AFTER the tribulation the sun and moon will be darkened and the stars will fall, THEN the Lord will come in the clouds and THEN He will send His angels to gather together all believers.
Read Rev. 3:10 which talks about the bride NOT going thru the wrath of GOD.
You are right with Rev 3.10, but middle and post tribbers can‘t see it, therefore they try to steal your hope in Christ, they think they do something good, somehow they are blinded.
God bless you brother.
Hi brother Stuart ❤... That's an answer there.
First, the Jews are waiting their messiah, the message is for the Jewish breed representation of the apostles, and secondly, about the church breed side, the believers dont waiting for him really because of the world attachment, Ladeodisea church can be deceived by this false messiah.
The many comming in His name are religius leaders, politicians, new age supporters, scientists, chamans, etc... You name it. Because of the promise of a new lifestyle, way of living, prosperity, etc.
And the big deception which is e false messiah
Be prepared for every possibility, either way I desire to be in right standing with Christ at all times, yet I know I have a long way to go.
Brother God loves the church so much that he will rescue her to not go through the wrath of God. Why would God pour his wrath on his beloved bride. In revelations 3 10 he says he will spare us from that hour. However God is a patient and merciful king. He was very patient with Nineveh that Jonah even try to avoid preaching there because he knew if they repented they would have been forgiven. After the church is raptured God will still have mercy on the ones left behind that still haven't received the mark
Exactly
@ Fausto, Amen ❤
You need to get a concordance. Blue Letter Bible has one. Study the difference between God’s wrath (orge) and trials and tribulations (thlipsis). See where in the New Testament these are used. Christians will suffer persecution and trials but not God’s wrath. God’s wrath is going to come after the rapture which occurs between the 6th and 7th seal openings.
@ Gods Judgements come during the Tribulation, born again believers sins where judged at the cross, - which where completely removed by the blood of Christ. Suggest you rightly divide scripture
Amen! God bless you!
Hell Brother Stuart. Nice catch, this will definitely cause a stir among the Pre Trib community. The blessed hope is his appearing and not the rapture as many believers are facing the first death every day until they are resurrected. Second though i have is in Matthew 24 when our messiah talks about "many will come in HIS name and saying I am he and then deceive many" - I have always read that as many counterfeit christians will come in his many and tell everyone that he truly is the messiah but then they will bring false teachings and destructive doctrines. Its like they lay the Foundation with the Gospel but then preach Heresy like Prosperity Gospel, the Charismatic movement etc. I read it this way because later in the passage in verse 23 her mentions false messiahs and prophets arising. I personally don't believe in the Pre Trib but i do believe in the Second Exodus.
i think he was refering specialy to the jews, beucase is them who are still searching for a christ, and in fact for that they will be left behind and have the one who will bring peace and then set in the temple
Are you from America? Most Americans think they are spared from tribulation. It's just our mind set we are too comfortable in our American ways and don't think we'll suffer persecution.
@@MariaMartinez-nk2fd i'm from the king of Christ. And for the comfort thing, how can you know whit who u are talking about? Let me tell you something, if i were someone which wasn't passing a good moment, and you write like that, u would have made a mistake, maybe hurting more the person, so rember to be a loving person, and if u want to teach, as Paul said, do whit love. P.S. i'm not from America, but knowing where i'm from should not change the way u talk. I study the bible, and listen avryone that does, beucase nobody know which gift has another persone, and we must be like little child, ready to learn from each other, based on the bible
@@MariaMartinez-nk2fd I should have thought being uncomfortable and suffering persecution would be more likely to result in one wishing to believe in a rapture, the hope of escape at any moment.
Good day my brother in Christ and thank you for your short message / video you have posted today. I do wish to discuss with you on a Zoom platform on the issue of pre tribulation rapture: it is not quite true as many Teach. Matt 24 is a chronological chapter, all the events follow one after another in sequence starting of with massive deception followed by wars, pandemics, etc... then the mark of the beast with God's people suffering until it gets even worse with the great time of trouble... then towards end of the chapter there will be signs in the stratosphere which will then be followed by the appearance of Jesus in the sky.
May God help us to understand His plans n His second coming 🙏 🙌
Yes, I believe we will be here through it all. The first seal is the Anti Christ let loose. Jesus said “AFTER the Tribulation of those days” he will return. It also states that on the last Trump Jesus will return in the clouds with the voice of an Archangel. I believe we will be here until the last trumpet is blown in heaven but gone for God’s bowls of Wrath. So we will see and go through lots. Don’t let anymore bully you or ware you down to take the Mark. Stay strong, Jesus is with you always he has your back ❤️
Pray for guidance& discrimination ,from the Holy Spirit ❤
Why would a false Messiah come to deceive people that he is real, if there are no Christians left on the earth to deceive? That’s is a great question! ❤
Because it's the Jews he deceives! By claiming to be the Messiah. There are certainly no true Christians left - these have been raptured & it would have been impossible to deceive them. The ones deceived are the Jews and sinful humanity. Read it. Please.
I agree with this. I've figured that for a while now.
Become so familiar with the authentic that the counterfeit sticks-out like a sore thumb.
Paul says exactly that
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God
My pre trib friends never address this when I ask. To me it is quite plain we see him do all this before we are taken up
Thank you brother Stuart. Shalom
Great point! Thank you!
Excellent question!!!!!
Why wouldn’t the anti christ want to deceive those that are left so they don’t turn to Jesus to be saved before it’s too late? I would love to hear some thought and opinions on this!
Yes I get what your saying. For me the time that were in now is an awakening to the evil in this world. I am choosing to change my sinful ways now and turn my ❤ over to Jesus Christ. Time is short and I need to clean house. Nobody knows the days or the hours of our Lord’s 2nd coming only the Father. My eyes are fixed on Jesus and his Holy Mother, They will guide us through this valley of death. God bless you sister I pray 🙏🙏🙏
What makes us think the people who are left behind will change? If they don't do it now that the church is here. Do we think they will do it when the church is gone? The deception is great now imagine when the church is gone? They are already deceived. There is no pre-trib rapture. The church is the one to be deceived. It's getting more obvious everyday. One word Trump!
Of course he will deceive many. But according to John, millions & millions are saved (a number no man could count, from every tribe, nation & tongue). Most of the people commenting have never read the book of Revelation in its entirety. Read what it says - 'Everyone whose name does not appear in the book of life' takes the mark. They will be from every nation & religion (or no religion).
Good morning dear Stuart.
Thank you.
Bang on Stuart. Amen 🙏✝️
We need to be here to help others who will recognise what is happening. We will show them the way.
So what about the two witnesses, the 144,000 witnesses and the announcing angel in Revelation 14:6. And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on earth and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people. When the Bible mentions people who are saved they are referred to in such terms, they are called brethren, little children and such. Why aren't those terms mentioned here? Revelation 3:10 also uses the same wording. Revelation 3:10. Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I will also keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world to test those who dwell on the earth. It also uses the Greek word ek which literally means from and not out of and it also uses the whole earth instead of using brethren. Wouldn't it make sense that if John was referring to believers that he would have made that very clear which he uses in other scripture? Also, it you study both Old Testament and New Testament prophecy, you would realize that the main purpose of the tribulation is for the national salvation of Israel. Many people believe that Matthew 24-25 is about the rapture but Jesus was answering the disciples questions when these things will happen and what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age? It was written to the Jews explaining the tribulation because of the fact that they had rejected Jesus as Messiah but God does have a future plan for Israel and his promises are eternal and irrevocable. Read Romans 9-11 which explains Israel's past, present and future. Romans 11:25-26. For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery-so that you will not be wise in your own estimation-that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved. Compare that with Zechariah 13:8-9 which says that only one thing of the Jewish people will make it through the fire, ie, the tribulation. Matthew 23:37-39. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings and you were unwilling. Behold, your house is being left to you desolate! For I say unto you, from now on you will not see me until you say, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. I refer to Zechariah 12:10 also. My point is this that the tribulation is for the national salvation of national Israel but also for the judgment of an unbelieving world and not believers.
Why would God send the Two Witnesses and the 144,000 Jewish evangelists if the Church was here 'to show the way'? Do you realise you are very close to 'adding to' the book of Revelation? All the plagues of Revelation are visited on such a person! The answer is to read what God says - not to proffer an opinion.
Here is the Truth. What is the Bride of the Lamb?
Revelation 21:9
"And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife."
Like a wife, is having similarities to a wife, but not the wife.
The church is not the Bride.
I was very neutral on this topic until my pastor made a video last fall about it. He condemned people for having a pre-tribulation viewpoint. In the spirit I was repulsed by the video. I sought the Lord and He shared with me, "In the days of Noah and Lot" and 2nd Peter. I shared this with my Pastor friend and he became angry. I knew the truth from God at that time. But, I don't think God wants us to focus on it as much as following His lead and doing His calling in our daily lives.
If your pastor is condemning Christians who believe in pre-trib I have to wonder if he knows what salvation is. It doesn’t matter what we believe about the rapture or the timing of Christ return. That’s not what saves us. If we are truly born again, we will go in the rapture whenever it is.
@@With-one-wing Exactly.
Lot fled in terror, and what Noah went through would have been far worse… most pre-trib Christian’s believe that it’s just like a ride on a cloud or some glorious experience that is to be enjoyed. Rv 6 talks about being killed. Josiah was killed to escape the coming tribulation.
Is 57,1 “The righteous perish,
and no one takes it to heart;
devout men are taken away,
while no one considers
that the righteous are taken away
from the presence of evil.
2Those who walk uprightly enter into peace;
they find rest, lying down in death.
God Condemns Idolatry
3“But come here, you sons of a sorceress,
you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
4Whom are you mocking?
At whom do you sneer and stick out your tongue?
Are you not children of transgression,
offspring of deceit…?”
All pastors and church goers are a part of the lukewarm church of Laodicean that will be left behind
@@With-one-wing it does matter because the teaching is in the word of God.
will you lose your inheritance for a bowl of stew. Here is something that may help you. 2Th 2:1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,
The word Coming taken from the blue letter Bible means : παρουσία
1. presence
2. the coming, arrival, advent
3. the future visible return from heaven of Jesus, to raise the dead, hold the last judgment, and set up formally and gloriously the kingdom of God
The third meaning gives us more clarity and understanding what Jesus will do when He returns.
Raise the dead 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Hold last judgement Hebrew 9:27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation
Set up the kingdom of God. Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
As you can clearly see when Jesus returns ( 2Th 2:1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, ) It is to raise the dead
What happens after Jesus rises the dead (Thessalonians 4:16 ) Apart from judgement and setting up the kingdom of God ?
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord
King Jesus can’t do all the things above until the satan is bound for a 1000 years including the dead being raised or the gathering to meet the Lord in the air.

No Rapture... No lightbulb. No nonsense.....please!😮
1 Corinthians 15 IS the Rapture!
@@messagesforourtime9306no there is not!!!!! A second coming!!! There is no secret rapture,you hobbyists heaven been in this verse for decades,when it became popular in the church,thinking you are magically going to dissapear,it makes no sence whatsoevER!!!!!
In the parable of the ten virgins, all of them were followers of the Bridegroom and were
waiting for His coming. BUT only half of them were actually READY. The other half were not wise and not therefore not ready. The Bridegroom took with Him only those who were READY. The rest of His followers who were not wise nor ready He left behind. Therefore this would indicate that there will be MANY people who profess faith in Christ who will be left behind on the earth at the rapture. These are the 'followers' who could be easily deceived by false christs during the Tribulation.
Have you looked into why Americans believe in the rapture? Do a little digging and you'll see this is a new doctrine. The pilgrims themselves didn't believe in it.
@MariaMartinez-nk2fd The digging I have done is in the Bible itself. Sad that so many in the church don't want to believe that their Bridegroom is coming for them and that they will be caught up to meet Him in the air and so shall ever be with Him. Caught up is 'Harpazo'. Google it. The Tribulation is the time of the outpouring of God's wrath on a Christ-rejecting world. Also Paul said we (believers) are not appointed to WRATH but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. As God's wrath is poured out DURING the Tribulation but BELIEVERS are NOT APPOINTED to it but to OBTAIN salvation, it is clear that we will NOT be on the earth during the Tribulation. As this is Paul's understanding and has written about it under the power of the Holy Spirit in Holy Scripture then that is the truth. Anything else is a deception.
@@MariaMartinez-nk2fdGreek word harpazo, used by Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:16, is the biblical term for the event that's popularly called the rapture. Harpazo literally means "to take forcibly," "to snatch," or "to be carried away". The origin of the term extends from the First Epistle to the Thessalonians in the Bible, which uses the Greek word harpazo (Ancient Greek: ἁρπάζω), meaning "to snatch away" or "to seize".The word "rapture" comes from the Greek verb harpazo, which means "to seize upon, spoil, snatch away, or take to oneself". It is used in the Bible in Acts 8:39, 2 Cor 12:2, 4, 1 Thess 4:17, and Rev 12:5. In these passages, harpazo is translated as "caught up" or "caught away".
What does the Greek word harpazo mean?
This word was taken from the Greek verb harpazo, meaning, “to seize upon, spoil, snatch away or take to oneself,” especially used of rapture (Acts 8:39; 2 Cor 12:2, 4; 1. Thess 4:17; Rev 12:5). Harpazo is translated “caught up” or “caught away” the five times (out of.What did Jesus say about the rapture?
Matthew 24:40: “Two men will be in the field; and one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.” The rapture is necessary because believers are not appointed to God's wrath. It is one of our gifts from God for being obedient.How many times is Harpazo in the Bible?
🙏 What is Harpazo and is it in the Bible? Yes, the word is found 14 times in the original Greek transcripts of of Bible scriptures. In later Latin translations it is referred to as rapio , and in English translations it is referred to as the 'snatching, seizing and catching up' of believers. 🕊 🙏
@@MariaMartinez-nk2fd No, I would disagree with you. The rapture can be found and is debated since the 1st century. The Apostolic Brethren in northern Italy where actually prosecuted for their teaching of of the rapture prior to the tribulation in 1215... And there are many more examples.
You might want to argue against a pre-trib rapture. Thats fine with me, eventhough that is debated up to 1st century with Clemens of Rome, Polycarb e.a.
But to argue the rapture itself as a new doctrine shows a huge misunderstanding of scripture.
We have the rapture of Enoch, the rapture of Elijah, Jesus, Philip and Paul.
Even the word "rapture" is in the Bible. And not only the latin bible, but also ours, since the "snatching away" is just the Greek "harpazo", the core of that word is "rap", eventhough it is pronounced differently in the Greek. But what we have here is a classical transliteration. Not a translation, but a transliteration, that the original word got adapted to fit into the way words are used in a different language.
I hope that helps with this topic and may God bless you!
The Ten Virgins Parable:
There is only one Bride of Christ, who is snatched away; taken suddenly (raptured). In Matthew 25:7 it says "go ye out to meet him." That is not being (Raptured). And In verse 12 it says "verily I say unto you, I know you not."
The rapture is not associated with the Lord answering the unbeliever. But the "unbeliever" is addressed with Jesus judging those at the Second Coming. This is found in the Matthew 25:31-46 sheep and goat judgement.
Also "The marriage" in Matthew25:10, can also be interpreted in the Greek language for "wedding feast." See Revelation 19:9.
WEDDING FEAST: γάμος (1062) Find all occurrences (approximately 16) 1. a wedding or marriage festival, a wedding banquet, a wedding feast. 2. marriage, matrimony
No Believer will miss the Rapture, but will lose rewards. 1 Corinthians 3:1-15. Shalom...
It also says that he ( the Antichrist) will come up against the saints too. Thank you brother Stuart. Stay safe. 👍😊
Yes, the Tribulation Saints. Those newly converted, who refuse the mark. Read the whole book, please.
Surely many have and still are coming in His Name....
Its important to rightly divide scripture and also to understand whom Christ spoke to in many instances. Sometimes Christ spoke to Jews and other times he spoke to gentiles and other times he spoke to everybody.
He doesn't distinguish in Matthew 24.

Amen!!! I think the true meaning of Matt 24:5 is people who confess and believe in Jesus but are giving a false message. The pre-trib rapture is false and deceitful. Jesus specifically says we will have tribulation. Jesus did promise to save us from God’s wrath, but not from the world. Now is the time to store extra oil for our lamp and not waist time thinking we will be taken out of this world, John 17:15-19
Well I am sorry dear friend but you are very wrong. What born again Christian do you know who claims to be Jesus Christ? There are many people now living who claim to be Christ but none are Christians. The pre trib Rapture is certainly not false, it's origin started with the Apostle Paul & continued through the ages - although it was certainly 'smothered' during the dark ages, as was much truth. You need to study the scriptures yourself before simply offering an opinion. There are many false teachers on the Internet & they are clever - posing as 'Godly', conservative people - they won't beat you over the head, they will quietly introduce their destructive heresies.
God gave me same thought brother.
Just a thought....Rev 7 :9 says a vast multitude will be saved in the tribulation period so the beast from the sea and the beast from the earth and the dragon want to deceive as many as possible.
This scripture refers to the Jews as they come from the tribes of Israel....not gentiles. They went up in the Rapture
Read Rev 7 in context
1-2 four angels given to hurt the earth and sea
3 Told not to UNTIL another angel has sealed the foreheads of the servants of God.
4. 144,000 sealed (the tribes of Israel)
5-8 lists the tribes.
THIS HAPPENS just at or shortly after the rapture
because we are the great multitude.
V14 These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Great tribulation is not Gods wrath. We are in tribulation now.
We are in the dispensation of grace through faith, we are washed in the blood of the Lamb.
Anyone that gets saved during Gods wrath AFTER the rapture will not be under grace.
Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 HERE IS THE PATIENCE of the saints: here are they that KEEP the commandments of God, AND the faith of Jesus.
There are 2 qualifications in v12 to get saved.
@@messagesforourtime9306 I don't think they are Jews. It says that crowd are from every NATION, tribe, language and people. It's gentiles that were left on earth after the rapture.
There is Deception all over the place. Yeshua our Messiah said many will come in His name saying He is the Messiah ( this they may say all the while they are being deceptive ) and others will be deceptively saying that they are Messiah.
Rapture occurs when Messiah comes back. It's so very clear to you and to me and to others as well. We must pray for those that don't get it as it really is an important understanding.
Amen to that brother !
I've tried to articulate this point, thank you for the help!
Exactly. The pre trib is a man made heresy.❤
Fortunately, I will NOT be here to see the Tribulation. John 14:3 says "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Where is Jesus? The answer is Heaven. If He is going to prepare a place for me. Where would this location be located at? Earth? No! It is Heaven! 1st Thessalonians 4:16 says "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words." Do you really think that as a Believer in Jesus that I'm going to suffer in the Tribulation? How is this comforting to believers?
Jacobs trouble not the churches trouble.
@SoDamnMetal Exactly, the Church is not the same as Jacob's Trouble. I agree with that statement.
@@roberttaylor9825 It is interesting that most post tribers disparagingly label others not believing in it when the Holy Spirit brings gentleness, calmness, love, and humility. This should send a message to people, but often it does not, because people aren't using the Holy Spirit as their guide. All we can do is pray the God shows people the truth.
No Anne it certainly is not a man made heresy. It is very biblical if you rightly divide the Word of Truth and understand from scripture where it is talking/referring to the Jews rather than the Born again believing church. This is where the error is found. Matthew 24 refers to the Jews who will still be here (not the messianic ones who will have already been taken to heaven for the marriage supper of The Lamb) Believers who have the Holy Spirit in them cannot be subjected to wrath as it was all poured out on Jesus on the cross. God cannot punish Jesus again. We are saved from the wrath to come. Amen
I am ready either way. Daily living for our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. ❤🙏🏻✝️♥️
