I’m 39 and I’m already like “LORD ANYTIME IS FINE WITH ME!” I’m already tired of sin and sin around me. Longing for Christ like hunger that won’t fade away.
Then repent at the cross, be water Baptised and ask God for the Holy Spirit infilling. You won’t find it following John MacArthur who blasphemes the Holy Spirit every single day.
Yes. Time is not ours...but we as society we are tired of waiting for a better secure future.. Plus 7 more years of great Tribulacao?? In order to earn everlasting life?? Adam and Eve had a easy thing to obey... Just very easy and simple: Which was You shouldn't touch, or eat fruit from that tree 🌲... Look us now... Trial after trail after trial..

I'm 49 and I finally understand the weariness of fighting sin and a decaying body. Having a genetic disorder that causes chronic pain helps me to long for a renewed body. Thank you Pastor John for being the Lord's good and faithful servant. I have learned so much from you over the last several years. I'm truly grateful for solid teaching that I can understand.
Sister, I have some feeling that you may already have this Scripture in your heart (one that I remind myself and others pretty frequently: Our God uses Paul, the apostle, our brother in Christ, after going through such hardships in this life, to say “Therefore we do not lose heart, for though our outer man is decaying, yet, our inner man is being renewed day by day” 2Corinthians 4:16
I’m 27 turning 28 am I’ve been longing for the return of Jesus Christ. I’m so tired of my sin. I’ve been longing to be home with the Lord. Blessed are those you have not seen but believed. I know in my heart God is real, Jesus is the way the truth and the life. I love you Jesus , please cleans me of sin in your precious innocent blood. Lord Jesus come! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Only one Gospel: The Gospel of Reconciliation. Jesus Christ came into THEIR kingdom to reconcile fallen angels unto Himself. We are the fallen angels (ELOHIM) kept in DNA chains of darkness. If you do not confess being a fallen angel in Lucifer's kingdom, then you are an unbeliever. Unbeliever = those that claim to be made in the image of ELOHIM(gods). REPENT FALLEN ANGELS.
I'm 44 and I'm already tired. Suffering with Desiccated Disk for almost 10 years. Only by His grace that I can continue. Longing for that day to come. Thanks for sharing this.
Sorry to hear. I had back pain for many years. Different than you. I would not have believed that it would get any better but it did. Muscular strengthening, walking and optimal nutrition do the job. But it’s a life long task. Your challenge or pain of course is different. I wish and pray that you can get some relieve. Maybe, if you haven’t done so yet, trying strength training and mobility very regularly and getting rid of sugar can help you a little bit. All the best.
The super, duper jet tour of Revelation! I'm with Pastor John: I weary of the flesh and the fight against it. I daily find myself longing for heaven just to be rid of the sin in myself (mostly) but also the sin in others that gets in their way. But to be honest, the first thing I want to focus on is Him, who died for me. Eternity won't be long enough to praise Him for what He has done.
If any one wants to see in pillars of smoke what many call a rapture...here it is. I hope you see it this time. :) Rev 20:12 in the smoke - We at the end of everything it appears. ua-cam.com/video/VeJm5tNBbTw/v-deo.html
@Kevin Belgrove, oh! So nobody was saved before the existence of the internet, when people were given access to information all over the world, including the names of the Father and Son in the modern Hebrew language, huh? Problem though, Jesus and the disciples didn’t speak modern Hebrew. They spoke ancient Aramaic and ancient Hebrew. You see, Hebrew was a dead language for nearly 2,000 years, and the Hebrew spoken today is not the same as the ancient Hebrew. Maybe that’s why Revelati0n 19 says Jesus Christ has a name written on Him THAT NOBODY KNOWS, huh? In fact, the lsraeIites literally forgot the name of Jehovah, because they were so frightened of taking His name in vain, and because they considered His name too Holy to speak, they only called Him “ha’ Shem’, which means “the Name”. You’re obviously ignorant of how scripture says Jesus Christ knows who belongs to Him, because it’s not by what language they speak His name in, it’s by whose Spirit indwells them, because all born again believers in Christ have the indwelling Holy Spirit, because Christ discerns the heart, as the scriptures say. Anyone who is not born again of the Holy Spirit is none of Christ’s, Romans 8:9. See, it’s the indwelling Holy Spirit that marks us as Christ’s possession, not the name we speak according to our language, because it’s Christ who created all the different languages at the Tower of Babel. The name of Jesus Christ has been used for 2,000 years to perform miraculous healings, to cast out dem0ns, and for divine intervention, and since we know that Satan doesn’t cast out Satan, and that these are all things that can only be done by the power of the Holy Spirit, how come the name of Jesus Christ, whom you just cursed and said His name doesn’t save people, how come the name of Jesus Christ works miracles through the power of the Holy Spirit of the Most High YHVH? And because the scriptures says nobody who is born of the Spirit of the living God calls Jesus Christ accursed, and YOU just called JESUS CHRIST accursed, that means it’s the spirit of Satan that is in you, because if you were born of God, the Bible says you would never say such a thing about our Lord and Savior. Also, you’re absolutely ignorant of the language the New Testament scriptures were written in, because it WAS NOT HEBREW, but Greek, and the name of Christ in the original Greek was Iēsous Christos, not Yahushua Ha’Maschiach, although both names mean “salvation”. But the New Testament scriptures were written in the language that most people spoke during that time, including the apostles, which was the Greek language. Why is there such power in the name of Jesus Christ, if His name is accursed AS YOU SAY? Why have countless people been delivered from dem0nic attacks simply by crying out the name JESUS CHRIST? Why do people report dem0ns FLEEING from them at just the mention of the name JESUS CHRIST? Do you have an explanation for how the name of JESUS CHRIST has wielded the power of Almighty YHVH for 2,000 years?? You don’t know Jesus Christ, because you are not born again of His Holy Spirit, for if you were, you would never have called our Lord and Savior’s English name accursed. Jesus is derived directly from the Greek Iēsous, since the letter J is another form of the letter I. What name do you think Chinese Christians use, or Hindu, or any other foreign language speaking people? You obviously don’t even know how Jesus Christ knows who belongs to Him, since you believe it’s by the language they speak His name in, because you don’t know Jesus Christ, and you are not born again, because you called Christ accursed in your sheer ignorance of the scriptures. Do people from all over the world have to learn the Hebrew language to be saved? You’re utterly foolish to make the statement you did against the name of Jesus Christ when there’s 2,000 YEARS WORTH OF MIRACLES DONE BY CALLING UPON THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, miracles that can only come from our Creator and Savior, Almighty YHVH in the flesh, our Lord Jesus Christ. I’ll guarantee you deny Jesus Christ is Almighty YHVH incarnate too, because you’re that scripturally illiterate. Please tell us why there’s such great power in the name of Jesus Christ if His name is accursed, as YOU say?

Yea unfortunately he's right about that. A lot of people that make the Bible philosophic and metaphorical make it so vague that by the time you're finished reading, you have no idea what you read. That's not how God designed it. Take a literal approach and it's clear.
No one believed what Macarthur believes about eschatology before the 1800s, therefore that statement doesn’t make sense. You don’t interpret Revelation literally, no one does, it’s ridiculous and inconsistent.
I think if more people read the bible for what it says rather than what they want it to say, things would be clear. Here we have scriptures that tell us what the future reign of our Lord will be like.... If your heart for Christ then you need to read Ezekiel 44 & Malachi 3! Its going to open you up to some truth that you aren't expecting
@@keithzengeya5604 What is the tribulation was the Jewish war that occurred in the first century ? What is that mania for projecting every prophecy into the future ? I guess there are women who grind at the mill today as well ?
@@foxescouch9602 No Im' not from the US ! Women would grind at the hand mill in antiquity , in very very old times ! In the days of the apostles . Plenty of them today ? Is that a joke ? Jesus was describing his coming to THEIR generation , hence the women grinding at the mill . Nothing to do with our modern era at all !
John MacArthur is a false prophet who is a minister for the devil and his recent sicknesses certainly prove as much. Why! Because sin and sickness is strictly of the devil and it can only be found in unbelievers or deceived believers who are not being guided by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. Realize that Jesus removed the sickness from EVERYONE who came to Him in faith in scripture and I can certainly testify that Jesus still heals since I am someone who can never get sick ever again. I also now of others who can no longer sin nor do they ever get sick since they are also being guided by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. So if you are a believer like myself and you are supposedly possessing the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ then how is it that you are experiencing sin and sickness in your own life? How is it that someone like this false preacher got sick if he possesses the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ? Jesus did not sin nor did Jesus ever get sick and if Jesus is the same always, yesterday, today and forever then how can this be? “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 NKJV Every day I deal with deceived believers who claim that it is impossible to stop sinning and who claim that sickness is just a normal part of this life. These lost souls have no idea how they are proving that they are nothing more then unbelieving children of the devil. Why? Because they are proving how they will not believe that possessing the Holy Spirit of Jesus who never sinned can keep their wicked souls from sinning. They are proving that they will not believe that possessing the Holy Spirit of Jesus who never got sick and who removed every type of sickness, disease or disability from everyone who turned to Him in faith can protect their souls from the devil’s afflictions. “Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Mark 9:23 NKJV So here is what these deceived believers certainly are not comprehending. Every one of us are born in sin and this is why we all need the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ in our lives since it is impossible to enter the kingdom of God unless we possess the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. It is also impossible for us to ever stop sinning in our flesh unless we possess the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ and we allow the Holy Spirit to teach us how to overcome our sins. Scripture makes it very clear that anyone who sins belongs to the devil and anyone who belongs to God cannot and does not sin. “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” I John 3:8-9 NKJV There are no scriptures that ever relate that a sinner belongs to God or that a sinner is a child of God! There are no scriptures that ever relate that a believer will always sin or that a believer can never stop sinning! There are no scriptures that ever relate that sickness would be a normal part of this life or that a Christian will possess sickness in their life! You can look all that you like but you certainly will not find any such scripture to back up those lies. God commanded us to live a Holy and righteous life and this can only be achieved by being someone who overcomes their sins. “And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”” Revelation 21:6-8 NKJV “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Luke 5:32 NKJV Jesus did not come to call on the righteous! Why? Because a righteous person does not sin. This is why a Christian is someone who lives exactly as Jesus did and once again Jesus did not sin nor did Jesus ever get sick. So how can you tell the difference between a believer who is a Christian and a believer who is deceived. Well a Christian who possesses the Holy Spirit knows they can never sin nor can they ever get sick since they are living their life exactly “like Christ” through the Holy Spirit of Jesus. A deceived believer on the other hand thinks that they will always sin and they will always have sickness in their life since they are being guided by a demon spirit and not the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48 NKJV “But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” John 5:13-14 NKJV Scripture clearly relates that God does not lie so Jesus would have never told the man at the pool of Bethesda to sin no more if it were impossible for the man to stop sinning. Plus Jesus made it crystal clear that it was the man’s sins that made him disabled since He related that a worse thing would come upon the man if he did not stop sinning. So anyone who can still sin and anyone who can still get sick is certainly proving that they are not being guided by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. So if you still cannot comprehend how this false preacher is simply a misguided minister for the devil then you certainly are just as clueless and deceived as he most certainly is and you definitely will be joining his wicked soul in the lake of fire.
@Kevin Belgrove Yes Yeshua HaMashiach the anointed one of God. Yalusalem or Jerusalem still means the same exact place where the Christ came and fulfilled the Law and gave Himself as the Lamb of God. I try not to put to much imphasis on things as little as spelling because it leaves room for the mockers of God to voice their irrelevant opinions. God foresaw young nations arising with new languages but the fact of matter is the hermeneutics of the Holy Scriptures allows us to understand the King James ible truly is the divine word of God without flaw.
@Kevin Belgrove John 1 1-3 IN the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. 🤔🤔🤔 What are you talking about the King James reveals clearly that God has always existed as 3 Persons ONE God. Genesis 1:26 says come LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR image.... You clearly don't read with sound mind. How about you repent....
@Kevin Belgrove John 17:5 Oh Father glorify Me with yourself which I had with You before the world was: 🤔🤔🤔 Nobody but the Holy Spirit gave me clarity while reading and understandING the word of God. You seem a lil full of yourself by saying that. Walk by thy Spirit not the flesh as it says in Galatians 5:16 because the natural man cannot understand the things of God....
Finally!!! Finally someone explains it plainly. I've waited many years to hear this even talked about and plainly said. I feel such a weight lifted. No one talks about this and all I've ever wanted was this truth said to me by someone wiser than myself to make sure I had it right. Thank you💓🙌 praise the Lord. Come Lord, come.
Paul said, In the twinkling of an eye "AT THE LAST TRUMP". John Macarthur says before the trumpets. Jesus says, "The tares will be removed first. He will send his angels to FIRST, remove all things that offend and them which do iniquity and cast them in the fire. And the tares want to take as many people as they can with them.
Pastor MaArthur's message is the same as it always has been. He's so solid, stable, matter of fact and, he NEVER makes it about him. He carrys the Gospel, as it is. An amazingly dedicated & driven teacher.
@Kevin Belgrove You are mistaking the differences between Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Latin. We no longer have the original texts. If you study Hebrew, as it was before the advent of the Messiah, you will find that the Hebrews were afraid to speak the name of God, and even when they wrote it, they would leave out the vowel points on the "I AM" name, and they would write it as "YHWH" But as a result we do not know how it was pronounced. Remember this, God is NOT a doctrinal demon, looking down from heaven and trying to catch Christians in some error. He loves his own, and will take care of you. Study the languages, "Jesus Christ" is the grecianized version of the Hebrew Yeshua Hamashia.
@Kevin Belgrove I'll consider what you've suggested. I still think you're splitting hairs on the names but I can study with your claims in mind. Additionally, God made the universe- he spoke it into existence and breathed the breath of life into us; not to mention making Eve from Adam's rib so, it doesn't seem a stretch to make a being that is part God and part man. God came to earth in the form of his son- a mixture of human and Divine, so yes he can die for a time. Jesus, (Yahushua), referring to the same person, was the sacrifice for our wretchedness, if we are obedient. Personally, it seems to me that in order for us to see the depth of his love, passion, sincerity & essential nature of our obedience, it is the most profound thing He could do. Man consistently broke Covenants and disobeyed so it seems to be the ultimate sacrifice- and an example of what we all must be willing to do. I don't have 26 years of experience like yourself so, I'll keep the door open as I study.
@@mikemike3514 How much of Pastor MacArthur have you listened to? As I understand it, he was saying that if you unwittingly take the mark, it will not prevent your entry into Heaven.
@@doncleveland1245 " and here we are finally at the end of the days" Unbelievable . Just unbelievable how deceived we can be ! The end of days were the days of the apostles ! They said that THEY were living the end of days , the last hour and the antichrist (and many others) were coming AT THEIR TIME . Not ours ! It was the last days of the old covenant , the end of age , the end of the old covenant age and the beginning of a new era through Christ marked by the Jewish war and the destruction of the temple. All those are past . They are not to be projected into our modern era , it makes no sense at all.
I think it’s wise to prepare ourselves mentally and spiritually as believers to go through the Tribulation and endure to the end. End times events have been debated for centuries but the pre-trib position falls apart pretty quickly as you not only study scripture but Church history through the centuries
Looking for truth, His truth is truly a goal worth attaining. What is pleasing to the Lord will be seen when He returns. We are to seek the kingdom first. What does the kingdom look like? Scriptures like Ezekiel 44 & Malachi 3 tell us what He considers are the righteous ways of God.
The bible says that all mankind will have to endure the trials and tribulations during the end times. I personally don't interpret the scriptures as saying that there will be a pre tribulation rapture. I do agree, the subject of the rapture has been debated for a long time, just be ready and prepared irregardless .
@vic I tend to agree with your comment. Rapture is a man made doctrine, it gives a sort of false hope to anyone who professes to be Christian and " saved" . It's simply not the case.
This just helped me to understand so much. He talked about us being too distracted to think about heaven. Now I’m so thankful for my trauma and pain because it’s always kept me in touch with the Holy Spirit. I think about heaven so much, and how I’m tired of fighting sin. I want nothing more than to surrender myself completely to the Lord.
I talked with God one day and told Him how afraid I am, afraid of the unknown. I know here. I don't know there and I won't know anyone. He said to me. 'It's way better here, and you will know everyone.' Can you imagine? I will know EVERYONE!! Praise God!
Its the first day of 2024. And on 31 December into January 1st I have been singing Blessed Assurance & I have decided to follow Jesus endlessly. Knowing the stories behind the two hymns all I can say is Im not different from my Christ and other saint who suffered persecution. Im ready
I'm 50 now but back in 81, AT 10YRS OLD when THE ALMIGHTY GOD drug me to HIM by HIS SOVEREIGN power and gracious mercy, saved my soul. I was under the wonderful preaching of God's WORD by HIS blessed servant Brother Rick Perdue. The LORD used this man from California to be a special blessing in my life. Bro. Rick reminds me of Bro.John so much in looks and what they preach. I loved listening to bro.Rick and now bro. John. Bro. Rick moved back to California to be the pastor of his church that he used to pastor. So I know of two great servants in California and I love you both and THANK OUR LORD GOD AND SAVIOR FOR HIS ON GOING BLESSINGS. 🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍
I’m uprooted myself from south Jersey close to 10 yrs ago, I live in a very rural area in upstateNY && we’re coming up on 10 yrs here and when they say your environment changes you, effects you, they’re telling the truth. As a child I grew up in church & I’ve always been a part of the church & loved meeting with God any day I went. It’s much different going from a populated area to a town with 3 gas stations, 1 grocery store, everything is accessible by two roads, other than that there’s a Walgreens and a McDonalds. There is No leadership here. None. There are churches but no life in them. To the point it makes me want to take the position & do something. Pastor John. reminds me of my pastor Ernie Moore. Listening to him just draws you in.. to their chest, it’s thorough. Always straight to the point, bc it’s the biggest decision of your life. you can’t read this & not see & know the word. It’s all spelled out for you in black & white. It’s confidence & power through faith mostly that sets them apart. These are men that are for no better terms untouchable in our eyes. && really I believe they are covered, they are so confident bc of their relationship with Yahweh ✝️ Christ. It sounds like Brother Rick & Pastor Moore& Mr. McArthur here have made their impact & truly are great men. These people are sent to us, to lead the way and be a foot stool. We live in very different times, but none of the rules have changed.
Nah it is when you come to Christ and get BORN AGAIN and set free from SIN and the World that you see what this world is all about and you know it is not your home and just want Jesus. Yearning bigtime Come Lord Jesus Come. LETS FLY!!
Our longing for Heaven should not just be a desire to leave this sin-sick world, but a longing to come face to face with the God we love. How much do we love Him?
I absolutely love Pastor MacArthur’s explanation about the difference between our anticipation and the 3rd world’s anticipation of heaven. He so articulately verbalized what’s in my own heart and in the hearts of all saints who live in abundance!
Dr John MacArthur is Paul of this generation. He preaches the truth only. Man of wisdom. Praise the Lord our God that we could still be able to hear His words through Pastor John. Thanks, Pastor John.
Looking for truth, His truth is truly a goal worth attaining. What is pleasing to the Lord will be seen when He returns. If we are to seek the kingdom first, what does the kingdom look like? Scriptures like Malachi 3, Isaiah 56 & Ezekiel tell us what He considers are the righteous ways of God. When you read those chapters, believe it
I use to believe in the pre-trib rapture. I didnt even know that there was anything else to believe or that other ppl believe differently. But i thank God for leading me to Truth. I praise His glorious Name that the darkness of this teaching is starting to lift and ppl are seeing the cherry picking of scriptures to match the pre-trib rapture theory. For those who is reading this, pls ask Christ about this notion, He will bring you to Himself. Jer 29:13.
@@Romans8-9 i know Jer 29:11 refers to that. I am refering to verse 13 where God tells them if you look for Me, you will find Me. If you look nd serch for truth Jesus will show you. Have a blessed day.
@HuNted WuMpUs i dont deny the rapture, i just dont believe its before the 7 years, if you read 2 Thes 2: 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8 ESV bible.com/bible/59/2th.2.3-8.ESV Jesus had the old testament to preach from and expounded from it. With Paul the same. They confirmed what has been written in the old testament, i do not see anywhere prophecies regarding clothes that will fall to the groud, babies that will be taken and the parents looking around for them in dismay, i have never seen that God ppl Christians or Jews have escaped tribulation, Jesus says in John 17:15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. John 17:15 ESV bible.com/bible/59/jhn.17.15.ESV and then im verse 20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, John 17:20 ESV bible.com/bible/59/jhn.17.20.ESV We are not destined to wrath, yes, but God gives promises both in the old nd new testament to protect the elect, the ones whom loved the Truth. Be blessed and hve good day.
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, modern Dispensational Theology falls apart, and the pretrib removal of the Church falls with it.
John MacArthur is the man who brought me to the end of my true salvation! He tied it all together for me as I read my Bible and continue to pray everyday! I thank God for this man!! I can’t wait to meet him soon in heaven. Come Lord, soon! ❤🙏
Liars will NEVER see Heaven and Macarthur preaches lies. There is NO trinity, hell does NOT exist, the rapture is a lie and contrary to his teachings, not everyone is resurrected since some have been destroyed forever. God has no mercy on liars!
I love you Pastor John I’ve followed you fir the last 30 years of my Christian life and I thank God for you , I wouldn’t be the man I am today without you ..
@Kevin Belgrove Are you kidding me ... ◄ 1 Corinthians 1:18 ► For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
I’m 36 and as MUCH as I am ready to go home to be with the lord! My flesh is torn. I have 2 little ones, my 9yo daughter and 3 nearly 4yo son and I want to see them grow up and build lives of their own. It’s hard to not care about not only their enteral future but also their earthly future
I’ve always felt sadness while thinking of this same thing with my young children. And then I wonder if I’m wrong for thinking this way. And I don’t want to be doing wrong for thinking this way. I feel as if I’m trying to do the impossible and that is to rush to have things happen since we don’t know when we will be raptured up. Thank you so much for your comment. I’ve never once seen anyone comment this type of thing and it gave me a sense of calm. I appreciate it more than you could know. God bless you and yours.
My kids are 16 and 13. I'd much rather them be raptured than go through this hell called life. They will live a much harder and more difficult life than we ever have.
They will be much better off in Heaven. This world has nothing to offer them of any true worth. I would rather if I had died as an infant and went to heaven right away. I'm 61. Nothing in this life has been worth being here compared to being with the Lord.
Always including JMac to finish strong. Thank you for using his life to teach us your word Father God. We love you Jesus, waiting for your return our King and Saviour. ✝️❤️
I’m 17 what pastor John said is so true I’ve battled with drugs and got sober for 4 months then for 3 month and now I’m sober again.what he said looking forward to heaven to be away from sin and the flesh and the sins of the world I forward to that too being with Jesus without sin and having the weariness of sin. I know the Lord will guide me and bring the through He has very time.He’s answered prayers me gave me love like no other. I think of the the goodness of God and how good he’s been to me It doesn’t make sense all I’ve done is sin and he still came by and saved me What a God we serve I say all this to say God has been good to me and I haven’t been doing what I need too and he comes by and picks me up and gets me on my feet again.truly can’t repay him but I sure do thank Him for saving me and not giving up on me or leaving my side praise the Lord Jesus
What a fantastic interview! The importance of setting your affections on things above (Col. 3:2) is what I came away with. Lord, keep me accountable daily.
I think if more people read the bible for what it says rather than what they want it to say, things would be clear. Here we have scriptures that tell us what the future reign of our Lord will be like.... If your heart for Christ then you need to read Ezekiel 44 & Malachi 3! Its going to open you up to some truth that you aren't expecting
Wow.. Well that's how I feel too.. Tired of fighting it all.. Everyone's comments on here make me feel better tho.. It's not just me... Im on my own most of the time with this because where I live all the churches around me have gone nuts with the make you feel good gospel and all that.. Won't touch any thing that convicts you or end time stuff its sad.. So this made me feel not alone.. Thank you for everyone's comments and thank you pastor JM
Agree 100%. I am 72 and am tired of the flesh, sin, earthly "pleasures" (not really pleasures but I am at a loss of a good word to use), wars, crime, corruption, etc. I, along with millions of others, will be so happy, beyond words, when the Rapture happens or with the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. At 72 with cancer going on for about 4-years now, I doubt I will see the Rapture, but you never know, it could happen before I finish this post.
The battle with the flesh is the most weary thing as a believer. I thank the Holy Spirit for His ministry of regeneration and sanctification in this life. I look forward to glorification one day. *And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.* _Romans 8:23 NASB1995_
I would recommend a really good book by Dr. Macarthur called "The Vanishing Conscience" in which he goes into great detail about sanctificication and applying scripture to empower us through the Holy Spirit to mortify sin. God bless
Brother Nicholas, how do you get "sanctified" without the gift of the Holy Spirit? Regeneration makes alive OUR spirits, by "seed." How to you get "filled" if it's already in you? You need to unpack that very verse-Romans 8:23. What part of the flesh is still alive?
Theres nothing more encouraging than the truth, His truth is truly a goal worth attaining. What is pleasing to the Lord will be seen when He returns. We are to seek the kingdom first. What does the kingdom look like? Scriptures like Ezekiel 44 & Malachi 3 tell us what He considers are the righteous ways of God.
The whole dayyyyy ive been confused with the rapture and second coming and so much. and this video just cleared all my doubts may the Lord bless you pastor
I think if more people read the bible for what it says rather than what they want it to say, things would be clear. Here we have scriptures that tell us what the future reign of our Lord will be like.... If your heart for Christ then you need to read Ezekiel 44 & Malachi 3! Its going to open you up to some truth that you aren't expecting
It looks like God has blessed John with the fountain of youth because he looks damn good for someone in his 80’s and sounds strong,alert and energised by the anointing of God - all praise and glory to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ amen
This is why I love listening to John MacArthur's preaching. He believes and teaches the Bible as written, unlike so many pastors that bring man's "knowledge", aka., evolution, into the mix. I left a church a few years ago because the new pastor preached the scripture in a "kinder and gentler" way because he didn't want to offend anyone.
Thank you for the informative, most encouraging words at the end, and the magnificent future awaiting the believer in Jesus Christ! Amazing, how much life-giving content can be packed into an eight-minute-Interview!! Do continue please! 🙏 🇨🇭
@Kevin Belgrove If it is so important to use the name in the original language then you probably should be writing it with Greek or Hebrew characters. Also following this logic we should rigorously practice to make sure we pronounce these names correctly without American accents. Can truth only be found in the original languages? Where in the Bible is the warning that every tribe and tongue should use the Hebrew tongue or face damnation? People with speech impediments will need some extra help.
@Kevin Belgrove What kind of church are you in? It is mysterious this special requirement to use Hebrew words. I wonder where it comes from and who else teaches this. Is it secret and only those who accept it at first hearing are in the book of life and can join your group?
@Kevin Belgrove Brother, did Paul write to the church in Ephesus, Corinth, Thessalonica, Rome in Hebrew only? Paul's ministry was to the Gentiles, not the Jews. It would make no sense to write in a language other than the language of those receiving it. Where is your evidence that these were only written in Aramaic or Hebrew? I love you and your passion for our Lord but we should be loving and gentile in our correction of each other. Your responses read as sarcastic and belittling. These don't align with the fruit we bear in our hearts which testifies to our salvation. The evidence of love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Let us be passionate and zealous for our Lord but not lose sight of our responsibility to each other and the testimony the unbelieving world sees in our words and actions. May Yahuah bless you and keep you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Yahushua.
@Kevin Belgrove My friend, I simply pointed out the Word (2 Tim 2:25) in regards to how we should go about correcting each other and which, in my opinion, your responses lacked. In addition I asked a sincere question in hopes you would teach by reason and the Word so that we all may test it against the Scripture to see if it is true. As for who am I? I am just trying to serve our Lord in humility and grace as He leads me. Please give an ear to what I said and consider the heart with which I said it. And let us both put aside any pride that may exist in our hearts for "The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate" (Proverbs 8:13) and "Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished." (Proverbs 16:5)
Wow, here it is: the very questions I hoped to have answered from Pastor MacArthur. Namely, his understanding of the sequence of eschatalogical events, which I just searched for and failed to find yesterday on the GraceToYou Website. This is the way I've always understood from a preteen on. I too have noted how often a higher education can have a tendency to convolute and over complicate what would otherwise be seen as clearly laid out in scripture. I never attended college in any sort of consistent way, although I took what courses I was led to take from varying schools, then correspondence courses, then online courses and different ministries' teaching series, personal research and study and listening intently to the big headed guys (in a good way) like the entirety of the Ligonier fellows, and many more. All of these bible teachers and more I dearly love in the Lord. It was only 15 years ago that I learned the way I understood scripture was called reformed theology, which put me at odds with fellow elders at the Arminianist church with which I worked as well as churches I grew up in. Dr. MacArthur is at the top of the list, especially as far as trusting his hermeneutics. I'm afraid I have a one-sided over-familiarity with him so as to want to call him by the name RC Sr., as his buddy, sometimes used. But that would be disrespectful coming from a lowly like myself. Thank you, Dial In for the directness and upload. Thumbs up!
Yes! GOD has made it so simple---MAN has made it complicated and twisted the facts concerning the RAPTURE and SECOND COMING!! Thank you Pastor McArthur!💖✝️
"For me, the attraction of heaven is litteraly a weariness of the flesh". A truly down to earth answer, that I wholeheartedly agree with. And I'm only half the age of our beloved pastor...
It is always great to listen to a Truth speaking Biblical Pastor, Way to Go. Great Job Mr. MacArthur. It is easy to understand if you do not pick it apart like so many do. God Bless All.
Part of the reason my walk with the Lord was so inconsistent during the first decades of my conversion was that I actually thought that Christians never sinned. So naturally it follows that if I was then I wasn’t a Christian. When Jesus said “You must be holy for I am holy” I took that verse to mean without sin because Jesus was. There were many other scriptures that seemed to be saying that. So when I sinned, which was just about every day in either thought, word, or deed, I would avoid God, not pray, stop reading my Bible out of shame. I didn’t understand that this was a deception of the devil. Jesus, being the hound of heaven, would not let me go and so I always returned to him. He showed me that I can’t stop sinning under my own strength or will and that’s why he died. He showed me that by staying in prayer and his word that he would do the heavy lifting and change me from within, slowly but surely taking away my desire and behaviors that caused me to sin. Of course being human it seemed like I always found new ways to sin but then he pointed out that nothing I was doing was new but that through the Holy Spirit more and more of my sin was being revealed to me. This becomes overwhelming as we realize how truly lost we are without Jesus and how much sin we actually commit. I now know that while I still sin, the battle is fought for me by Jesus and the Holy Spirit and my job is to stay close to God. I now know that this side of heaven I cannot ever be perfect and until I am no longer in the flesh, surrounded by the world, and surrounded by the dark spiritual forces, that only in my death and resurrection will I be sinless . This to me is the most exciting thing about salvation and the hope that I long for deep within my soul.
Pastor, when I lived in America so many denominations and culture complicated life balance. Now living in Thailand, culture is kind, slower lifestyle fosters balance, and surprisingly nondenominational Church is found in homes in and around villages. Most have little to no education, however they understand the Bible in a simple meaning the way you just explained the Book of Revelation. Thank you for doing the Will of God. Always Glory to God ❤
HalleluYah... glad I was introduced to this man of G-D... by a man who teaches the Qu'raan, Bible and Tanakh.. introduced me to him, his word is going out all over many religions,, G-D is good
And that is why you only see flesh and can not see or learn of the Holy SPIRIT. Flesh shall judge flesh as spirit comes to JUDGE the spirit. You must desern the good from evil arrogance to blindly lead others into a ditch of the blind who shall not become to see. Why they fell into ditches 😒
I can confirm it's right there in the Bible. I'm from Ireland where the churches do not teach anything about end times. I believe the same. I learned it from the Bible.
I've heard some decent sermons about the end times from an Irish preacher from limerick city church. Have you heard of Keith Malcomson? Is his teaching biblical?

Recently, I had a dream where our Lord Jesus showed me to read the New Testament. I rarely ever have dreams and forget them within hours of waking up, but I *still* vividly remember this one. I believe that He was showing me to tell everyone that it is time for us to learn what the New Testament is really about and that it is time for all of us to get right, especially considering how many Biblical prophecies are coming true as we speak.

I have always been taught that there is a pre tribulation rapture, and when I read the Bible thats how I understood it... But I dont know what to think because I want to be with God on this educational journey...othet christians have told me that the verses I have read dont mean what I think, making me worry that I am following false prophets, I am literally scared to death..because I dont understand what I am reading and I want to be right with God..and not follow false teachers...I don't know what to think...or believe...PLEASE GOD, SHOW ME THE WAY! PRAISE GOD!!! AMEN
SOME MAJOR SCRIPTURAL PROBLEMS WITH THE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE; Over and over the Bible has the end-time Godly believers being delivered on the SAME day that the wicked are punished; not the case in a pre-trib rapture scenario. Jesus, Himself, gave two examples to look to in the end times: Noah and Lot. Noah and his family were delivered on the same day the wicked perished in the flood. “In the 600th year of Noah’s life, on the 17th day of the 2nd month the floodgates of the deep opened and the heavens poured down rain. On that very day, Noah and his family entered the Ark.” Lot and his family were delivered on the same day the wicked are punished. 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1 says, “God is just, He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you, and give relief to you who are troubled when the Lord Jesus is revealed from Heaven in flaming fire with His powerful angels bringing punishment to those who don’t know God and refuse to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ.” 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1 says, “Concerning the coming of the lord and our being gathered to Him (the rapture)…don’t let anyone deceive you. That Day of the Lord won’t come until two things happen first; the great apostasy and the man of sin is revealed.” (by the abomination of desolation) Joel 2:31 says, “The sun will be darkened, and the moon turned to blood BEFORE the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the Lord.” And Jesus in the Olivet discourse talks about the rise of the anti-christ and the persecution of the saints and then says, “Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon turned to blood.” Revelation 3:10 says, “I will keep you from the time of testing coming upon the whole earth.” Sounds like pre-trib, BUT the word translated keep above is the Greek word tereo and it means “to guard by keeping the eye upon.” It does NOT mean to protect by taking us out before the tribulation starts. I believe the Pre-Wrath Rapture best fits scripture.
So upon my reading of Scripture, I came to a different conclusion...just like in Genesis where God says He created male and female, then he retells it and explains the process more fully (taking a rib from Adam to make Eve), among other passages using the same technique, I understood revelation in the same way. Some of the events are being mentioned, then more fully explained again, which coincides with reading the Old Testament revelations of what happens just before Jesus' earthly reign. I just can't see the "rapture" happening before the tribulation of those days (Matthew 24).

Think about this...if the believers are snatched away before the start of tribulation, who are the saints who will be persecuted? Does it mean Jesus will take up some and leave some behind?
Dude. MacArthur has it. What a blessing. As a high school teacher, fighting to get funding for kids and then as a dad, teaching your kids the way against all the distractions, and then part of a strata that's inundated by others trying to profit from us, etc etc, divorcing a narc, corrupted parents, the list goes on, you get tired. Watch the previous episode with MacArthur on how to know if you're saved. So good. And bookmark Kris Reece if you're struggling with mental health, she will point you back to Jesus and health. Keep fighting and then go to the mountains and rest when you need it. Thank you God for these guys.
I’m 39 and I’m already like “LORD ANYTIME IS FINE WITH ME!” I’m already tired of sin and sin around me. Longing for Christ like hunger that won’t fade away.

Sorry to hear. I had back pain for many years. Different than you. I would not have believed that it would get any better but it did. Muscular strengthening, walking and optimal nutrition do the job. But it’s a life long task. Your challenge or pain of course is different. I wish and pray that you can get some relieve. Maybe, if you haven’t done so yet, trying strength training and mobility very regularly and getting rid of sugar can help you a little bit. All the best.
Thank you. And at 55 yrs old, I am weary and understand Pastor John’s message on that subject. Come Jesus, thy will be done.❤️🙏🏽

The super, duper jet tour of Revelation! I'm with Pastor John: I weary of the flesh and the fight against it. I daily find myself longing for heaven just to be rid of the sin in myself (mostly) but also the sin in others that gets in their way. But to be honest, the first thing I want to focus on is Him, who died for me. Eternity won't be long enough to praise Him for what He has done.

@Kevin Belgrove, oh! So nobody was saved before the existence of the internet, when people were given access to information all over the world, including the names of the Father and Son in the modern Hebrew language, huh? Problem though, Jesus and the disciples didn’t speak modern Hebrew. They spoke ancient Aramaic and ancient Hebrew. You see, Hebrew was a dead language for nearly 2,000 years, and the Hebrew spoken today is not the same as the ancient Hebrew. Maybe that’s why Revelati0n 19 says Jesus Christ has a name written on Him THAT NOBODY KNOWS, huh? In fact, the lsraeIites literally forgot the name of Jehovah, because they were so frightened of taking His name in vain, and because they considered His name too Holy to speak, they only called Him “ha’ Shem’, which means “the Name”. You’re obviously ignorant of how scripture says Jesus Christ knows who belongs to Him, because it’s not by what language they speak His name in, it’s by whose Spirit indwells them, because all born again believers in Christ have the indwelling Holy Spirit, because Christ discerns the heart, as the scriptures say. Anyone who is not born again of the Holy Spirit is none of Christ’s, Romans 8:9. See, it’s the indwelling Holy Spirit that marks us as Christ’s possession, not the name we speak according to our language, because it’s Christ who created all the different languages at the Tower of Babel. The name of Jesus Christ has been used for 2,000 years to perform miraculous healings, to cast out dem0ns, and for divine intervention, and since we know that Satan doesn’t cast out Satan, and that these are all things that can only be done by the power of the Holy Spirit, how come the name of Jesus Christ, whom you just cursed and said His name doesn’t save people, how come the name of Jesus Christ works miracles through the power of the Holy Spirit of the Most High YHVH?
And because the scriptures says nobody who is born of the Spirit of the living God calls Jesus Christ accursed, and YOU just called JESUS CHRIST accursed, that means it’s the spirit of Satan that is in you, because if you were born of God, the Bible says you would never say such a thing about our Lord and Savior. Also, you’re absolutely ignorant of the language the New Testament scriptures were written in, because it WAS NOT HEBREW, but Greek, and the name of Christ in the original Greek was Iēsous Christos, not Yahushua Ha’Maschiach, although both names mean “salvation”. But the New Testament scriptures were written in the language that most people spoke during that time, including the apostles, which was the Greek language. Why is there such power in the name of Jesus Christ, if His name is accursed AS YOU SAY? Why have countless people been delivered from dem0nic attacks simply by crying out the name JESUS CHRIST? Why do people report dem0ns FLEEING from them at just the mention of the name JESUS CHRIST? Do you have an explanation for how the name of JESUS CHRIST has wielded the power of Almighty YHVH for 2,000 years?? You don’t know Jesus Christ, because you are not born again of His Holy Spirit, for if you were, you would never have called our Lord and Savior’s English name accursed. Jesus is derived directly from the Greek Iēsous, since the letter J is another form of the letter I. What name do you think Chinese Christians use, or Hindu, or any other foreign language speaking people? You obviously don’t even know how Jesus Christ knows who belongs to Him, since you believe it’s by the language they speak His name in, because you don’t know Jesus Christ, and you are not born again, because you called Christ accursed in your sheer ignorance of the scriptures.
Do people from all over the world have to learn the Hebrew language to be saved? You’re utterly foolish to make the statement you did against the name of Jesus Christ when there’s 2,000 YEARS WORTH OF MIRACLES DONE BY CALLING UPON THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, miracles that can only come from our Creator and Savior, Almighty YHVH in the flesh, our Lord Jesus Christ. I’ll guarantee you deny Jesus Christ is Almighty YHVH incarnate too, because you’re that scripturally illiterate. Please tell us why there’s such great power in the name of Jesus Christ if His name is accursed, as YOU say?

“You’d have to go to school to get that wrong”. Such a sad and true comment
Yea unfortunately he's right about that. A lot of people that make the Bible philosophic and metaphorical make it so vague that by the time you're finished reading, you have no idea what you read. That's not how God designed it. Take a literal approach and it's clear.
No one believed what Macarthur believes about eschatology before the 1800s, therefore that statement doesn’t make sense. You don’t interpret Revelation literally, no one does, it’s ridiculous and inconsistent.
I agree with John. I'm looking forward to worshipping our God for all eternity.

Read your Bible. Worship Jesus Christ not Johnny McMansion.🤢
John MacArthur is a false prophet who is a minister for the devil and his recent sicknesses certainly prove as much. Why! Because sin and sickness is strictly of the devil and it can only be found in unbelievers or deceived believers who are not being guided by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. Realize that Jesus removed the sickness from EVERYONE who came to Him in faith in scripture and I can certainly testify that Jesus still heals since I am someone who can never get sick ever again. I also now of others who can no longer sin nor do they ever get sick since they are also being guided by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.
So if you are a believer like myself and you are supposedly possessing the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ then how is it that you are experiencing sin and sickness in your own life? How is it that someone like this false preacher got sick if he possesses the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ? Jesus did not sin nor did Jesus ever get sick and if Jesus is the same always, yesterday, today and forever then how can this be?
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
Hebrews 13:8 NKJV
Every day I deal with deceived believers who claim that it is impossible to stop sinning and who claim that sickness is just a normal part of this life. These lost souls have no idea how they are proving that they are nothing more then unbelieving children of the devil. Why? Because they are proving how they will not believe that possessing the Holy Spirit of Jesus who never sinned can keep their wicked souls from sinning. They are proving that they will not believe that possessing the Holy Spirit of Jesus who never got sick and who removed every type of sickness, disease or disability from everyone who turned to Him in faith can protect their souls from the devil’s afflictions.
“Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
Mark 9:23 NKJV
So here is what these deceived believers certainly are not comprehending. Every one of us are born in sin and this is why we all need the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ in our lives since it is impossible to enter the kingdom of God unless we possess the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. It is also impossible for us to ever stop sinning in our flesh unless we possess the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ and we allow the Holy Spirit to teach us how to overcome our sins. Scripture makes it very clear that anyone who sins belongs to the devil and anyone who belongs to God cannot and does not sin.
“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.”
I John 3:8-9 NKJV
There are no scriptures that ever relate that a sinner belongs to God or that a sinner is a child of God! There are no scriptures that ever relate that a believer will always sin or that a believer can never stop sinning! There are no scriptures that ever relate that sickness would be a normal part of this life or that a Christian will possess sickness in their life! You can look all that you like but you certainly will not find any such scripture to back up those lies. God commanded us to live a Holy and righteous life and this can only be achieved by being someone who overcomes their sins.
“And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.””
Revelation 21:6-8 NKJV
“I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
Luke 5:32 NKJV
Jesus did not come to call on the righteous! Why? Because a righteous person does not sin. This is why a Christian is someone who lives exactly as Jesus did and once again Jesus did not sin nor did Jesus ever get sick.
So how can you tell the difference between a believer who is a Christian and a believer who is deceived. Well a Christian who possesses the Holy Spirit knows they can never sin nor can they ever get sick since they are living their life exactly “like Christ” through the Holy Spirit of Jesus. A deceived believer on the other hand thinks that they will always sin and they will always have sickness in their life since they are being guided by a demon spirit and not the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.
“Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
Matthew 5:48 NKJV
“But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”
John 5:13-14 NKJV
Scripture clearly relates that God does not lie so Jesus would have never told the man at the pool of Bethesda to sin no more if it were impossible for the man to stop sinning. Plus Jesus made it crystal clear that it was the man’s sins that made him disabled since He related that a worse thing would come upon the man if he did not stop sinning. So anyone who can still sin and anyone who can still get sick is certainly proving that they are not being guided by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.
So if you still cannot comprehend how this false preacher is simply a misguided minister for the devil then you certainly are just as clueless and deceived as he most certainly is and you definitely will be joining his wicked soul in the lake of fire.
MARANATHA!! Father God, help us to be about Your work while we wait for our blessed hope! Calm our distractions. In Jesus Name. Amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope pastor John has energy for a few years more, he has been a blessing from GOD in my life.
Do you have salvation, from your tone and comment I would say not. Only those with the Holy Spirit are able to discern Gods word.!
@Kevin Belgrove you are demon possessed, not I. Satan does not have disciples! Big mistake, big!
@Kevin Belgrove
The only lying person around here is you. Repent, time is near.
I've listened to hundreds of hours of Johnny Macs sermons, can't get enough of his biblical clarity: 💯
Seriously Pastor John is on 🔥 fire
Amen! It’s hard to listen to others
@Kevin Belgrove Yes Yeshua HaMashiach the anointed one of God. Yalusalem or Jerusalem still means the same exact place where the Christ came and fulfilled the Law and gave Himself as the Lamb of God. I try not to put to much imphasis on things as little as spelling because it leaves room for the mockers of God to voice their irrelevant opinions. God foresaw young nations arising with new languages but the fact of matter is the hermeneutics of the Holy Scriptures allows us to understand the King James ible truly is the divine word of God without flaw.
@Kevin Belgrove John 1 1-3 IN the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. 🤔🤔🤔
What are you talking about the King James reveals clearly that God has always existed as 3 Persons ONE God. Genesis 1:26 says come LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR image....
You clearly don't read with sound mind. How about you repent....
@Kevin Belgrove
John 17:5
Oh Father glorify Me with yourself which I had with You before the world was: 🤔🤔🤔
Nobody but the Holy Spirit gave me clarity while reading and understandING the word of God. You seem a lil full of yourself by saying that. Walk by thy Spirit not the flesh as it says in Galatians 5:16 because the natural man cannot understand the things of God....
Finally!!! Finally someone explains it plainly. I've waited many years to hear this even talked about and plainly said. I feel such a weight lifted. No one talks about this and all I've ever wanted was this truth said to me by someone wiser than myself to make sure I had it right. Thank you💓🙌 praise the Lord. Come Lord, come.
Paul said, In the twinkling of an eye "AT THE LAST TRUMP".
John Macarthur says before the trumpets.
Jesus says, "The tares will be removed first. He will send his angels to FIRST, remove all things that offend and them which do iniquity and cast them in the fire.
And the tares want to take as many people as they can with them.
Pastor MaArthur's message is the same as it always has been. He's so solid, stable, matter of fact and, he NEVER makes it about him. He carrys the Gospel, as it is. An amazingly dedicated & driven teacher.
@Kevin Belgrove Is splitting hairs about names useful? Are we all not referring to God, who took on human form and sacrificed for sinners?
@Kevin Belgrove You are mistaking the differences between Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Latin. We no longer have the original texts. If you study Hebrew, as it was before the advent of the Messiah, you will find that the Hebrews were afraid to speak the name of God, and even when they wrote it, they would leave out the vowel points on the "I AM" name, and they would write it as "YHWH" But as a result we do not know how it was pronounced. Remember this, God is NOT a doctrinal demon, looking down from heaven and trying to catch Christians in some error. He loves his own, and will take care of you. Study the languages, "Jesus Christ" is the grecianized version of the Hebrew Yeshua Hamashia.
Yes this amazing pastor who said you can take the Mark of the Beast and still be forgiven and go to heaven because thats what's written in the gospel
@Kevin Belgrove I'll consider what you've suggested. I still think you're splitting hairs on the names but I can study with your claims in mind. Additionally, God made the universe- he spoke it into existence and breathed the breath of life into us; not to mention making Eve from Adam's rib so, it doesn't seem a stretch to make a being that is part God and part man. God came to earth in the form of his son- a mixture of human and Divine, so yes he can die for a time. Jesus, (Yahushua), referring to the same person, was the sacrifice for our wretchedness, if we are obedient. Personally, it seems to me that in order for us to see the depth of his love, passion, sincerity & essential nature of our obedience, it is the most profound thing He could do. Man consistently broke Covenants and disobeyed so it seems to be the ultimate sacrifice- and an example of what we all must be willing to do. I don't have 26 years of experience like yourself so, I'll keep the door open as I study.
@@mikemike3514 How much of Pastor MacArthur have you listened to? As I understand it, he was saying that if you unwittingly take the mark, it will not prevent your entry into Heaven.
Thus Pastor has been a blessing on my life since I found his preaching not that long ago! Thank you Jesus for putting real men of God in my life.
@Kevin Belgrove I do sir thank you. I listen to his sermons while at work. God bless.
Real men who are nothing but futurist freaks and Darby worshippers.
NOTHING based on what is written at all.
Appalling.
I have been anticipating the rapture for over 30 years and I am more excited than ever !!
Amen. I remember when there were many people back in the 80's talking about it, and here we are finally at the end of days... Grace to you!
All the characters are on stage now. It can't be long.
Trumpet is about to sound
it won't happen, there is rapture,
@@doncleveland1245
" and here we are finally at the end of the days"
Unbelievable . Just unbelievable how deceived we can be !
The end of days were the days of the apostles ! They said that THEY were living the end of days , the last hour and the antichrist (and many others) were coming AT THEIR TIME .
Not ours !
It was the last days of the old covenant , the end of age , the end of the old covenant age and the beginning of a new era through Christ marked by the Jewish war and the destruction of the temple.
All those are past . They are not to be projected into our modern era , it makes no sense at all.
Thank you for freely sharing this on the platform. Much appreciated. This has helped me and hopefully will help so many other. Jesus is King of Kings!
I think it’s wise to prepare ourselves mentally and spiritually as believers to go through the Tribulation and endure to the end. End times events have been debated for centuries but the pre-trib position falls apart pretty quickly as you not only study scripture but Church history through the centuries
Looking for truth, His truth is truly a goal worth attaining.
What is pleasing to the Lord will be seen when He returns.
We are to seek the kingdom first. What does the kingdom look like?
Scriptures like Ezekiel 44 & Malachi 3 tell us what He considers are the righteous ways of God.
The bible says that all mankind will have to endure the trials and tribulations during the end times. I personally don't interpret the scriptures as saying that there will be a pre tribulation rapture. I do agree, the subject of the rapture has been debated for a long time, just be ready and prepared irregardless .
Jesus said we'll be persecuted in his namesake, I believe the church will go through alot before Christ returns..
@vic I tend to agree with your comment. Rapture is a man made doctrine, it gives a sort of false hope to anyone who professes to be Christian and " saved" . It's simply not the case.
@@kevinwillis2878 hmm your calling our ‘blessed hope’ a false hope?
This just helped me to understand so much. He talked about us being too distracted to think about heaven. Now I’m so thankful for my trauma and pain because it’s always kept me in touch with the Holy Spirit. I think about heaven so much, and how I’m tired of fighting sin. I want nothing more than to surrender myself completely to the Lord.
I talked with God one day and told Him how afraid I am, afraid of the unknown. I know here. I don't know there and I won't know anyone. He said to me. 'It's way better here, and you will know everyone.' Can you imagine? I will know EVERYONE!! Praise God!
Its the first day of 2024. And on 31 December into January 1st I have been singing Blessed Assurance & I have decided to follow Jesus endlessly. Knowing the stories behind the two hymns all I can say is Im not different from my Christ and other saint who suffered persecution. Im ready
I'm 50 now but back in 81, AT 10YRS OLD when THE ALMIGHTY GOD drug me to HIM by HIS SOVEREIGN power and gracious mercy, saved my soul. I was under the wonderful preaching of God's WORD by HIS blessed servant Brother Rick Perdue. The LORD used this man from California to be a special blessing in my life. Bro. Rick reminds me of Bro.John so much in looks and what they preach. I loved listening to bro.Rick and now bro. John. Bro. Rick moved back to California to be the pastor of his church that he used to pastor. So I know of two great servants in California and I love you both and THANK OUR LORD GOD AND SAVIOR FOR HIS ON GOING BLESSINGS. 🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍
I’m uprooted myself from south Jersey close to 10 yrs ago, I live in a very rural area in upstateNY && we’re coming up on 10 yrs here and when they say your environment changes you, effects you, they’re telling the truth. As a child I grew up in church & I’ve always been a part of the church & loved meeting with God any day I went. It’s much different going from a populated area to a town with 3 gas stations, 1 grocery store, everything is accessible by two roads, other than that there’s a Walgreens and a McDonalds. There is No leadership here. None. There are churches but no life in them. To the point it makes me want to take the position & do something. Pastor John. reminds me of my pastor Ernie Moore. Listening to him just draws you in.. to their chest, it’s thorough. Always straight to the point, bc it’s the biggest decision of your life. you can’t read this & not see & know the word. It’s all spelled out for you in black & white. It’s confidence & power through faith mostly that sets them apart. These are men that are for no better terms untouchable in our eyes. && really I believe they are covered, they are so confident bc of their relationship with Yahweh ✝️ Christ. It sounds like Brother Rick & Pastor Moore& Mr. McArthur here have made their impact & truly are great men. These people are sent to us, to lead the way and be a foot stool. We live in very different times, but none of the rules have changed.
The longer you live, the more you hate the world and yearn the return of Christ.
@Brad Conklin and why not???? According to the word we who are in Christ will return with him...are you one of these?
@Brad Conklin please elaborate
@Brad Conklin no I did not
Nah it is when you come to Christ and get BORN AGAIN and set free from SIN and the World that you see what this world is all about and you know it is not your home and just want Jesus. Yearning bigtime Come Lord Jesus Come. LETS FLY!!
@Brad Conklin ONLY THOSE WHO ARE UNBELIEVERS WOULD FEAR THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE WRATH OF GOD!!
Our longing for Heaven should not just be a desire to leave this sin-sick world, but a longing to come face to face with the God we love. How much do we love Him?
I absolutely love Pastor MacArthur’s explanation about the difference between our anticipation and the 3rd world’s anticipation of heaven. He so articulately verbalized what’s in my own heart and in the hearts of all saints who live in abundance!
Dr John MacArthur is Paul of this generation. He preaches the truth only. Man of wisdom. Praise the Lord our God that we could still be able to hear His words through Pastor John. Thanks, Pastor John.
Looking for truth, His truth is truly a goal worth attaining.
What is pleasing to the Lord will be seen when He returns.
If we are to seek the kingdom first, what does the kingdom look like?
Scriptures like Malachi 3, Isaiah 56 & Ezekiel tell us what He considers are the righteous ways of God.
When you read those chapters, believe it
I use to believe in the pre-trib rapture. I didnt even know that there was anything else to believe or that other ppl believe differently. But i thank God for leading me to Truth. I praise His glorious Name that the darkness of this teaching is starting to lift and ppl are seeing the cherry picking of scriptures to match the pre-trib rapture theory. For those who is reading this, pls ask Christ about this notion, He will bring you to Himself. Jer 29:13.
Just want to say that verse is out of context and is directed to exiled Israelites. He also says I will be found by you. Everything is decided by God.
@@Romans8-9 i know Jer 29:11 refers to that. I am refering to verse 13 where God tells them if you look for Me, you will find Me. If you look nd serch for truth Jesus will show you. Have a blessed day.
@HuNted WuMpUs i dont deny the rapture, i just dont believe its before the 7 years, if you read 2 Thes 2: 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-8 ESV
bible.com/bible/59/2th.2.3-8.ESV
Jesus had the old testament to preach from and expounded from it. With Paul the same. They confirmed what has been written in the old testament, i do not see anywhere prophecies regarding clothes that will fall to the groud, babies that will be taken and the parents looking around for them in dismay, i have never seen that God ppl Christians or Jews have escaped tribulation, Jesus says in John 17:15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.
John 17:15 ESV
bible.com/bible/59/jhn.17.15.ESV and then im verse 20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
John 17:20 ESV
bible.com/bible/59/jhn.17.20.ESV
We are not destined to wrath, yes, but God gives promises both in the old nd new testament to protect the elect, the ones whom loved the Truth.
Be blessed and hve good day.
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, modern Dispensational Theology falls apart, and the pretrib removal of the Church falls with it.
Scripture clearly defines a Harpazo (Rapture)
faithful to the end. definitely this. let this be our goal. faithful to Jesus till the end because He is our prize and our Reward.
Thank you 4:23 pastor McArthur for your faithful service
Thanks, 👋 I really enjoy listening to John MacArthur in settings like these, in addition to his sermons.
John MacArthur is the man who brought me to the end of my true salvation! He tied it all together for me as I read my Bible and continue to pray everyday! I thank God for this man!! I can’t wait to meet him soon in heaven. Come Lord, soon! ❤🙏
Liars will NEVER see Heaven and Macarthur preaches lies. There is NO trinity, hell does NOT exist, the rapture is a lie and contrary to his teachings, not everyone is resurrected since some have been destroyed forever. God has no mercy on liars!
I love you Pastor John I’ve followed you fir the last 30 years of my Christian life and I thank God for you , I wouldn’t be the man I am today without you ..
@Kevin Belgrove
Are you kidding me ...
◄ 1 Corinthians 1:18 ►
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

I’m 36 and as MUCH as I am ready to go home to be with the lord! My flesh is torn. I have 2 little ones, my 9yo daughter and 3 nearly 4yo son and I want to see them grow up and build lives of their own.
It’s hard to not care about not only their enteral future but also their earthly future
I’ve always felt sadness while thinking of this same thing with my young children. And then I wonder if I’m wrong for thinking this way. And I don’t want to be doing wrong for thinking this way. I feel as if I’m trying to do the impossible and that is to rush to have things happen since we don’t know when we will be raptured up. Thank you so much for your comment. I’ve never once seen anyone comment this type of thing and it gave me a sense of calm. I appreciate it more than you could know. God bless you and yours.
My kids are 16 and 13. I'd much rather them be raptured than go through this hell called life. They will live a much harder and more difficult life than we ever have.
They will be much better off in Heaven. This world has nothing to offer them of any true worth. I would rather if I had died as an infant and went to heaven right away. I'm 61. Nothing in this life has been worth being here compared to being with the Lord.
🤔💭 EXACTLY what I've been feeling & thinking the last few years: _wearied & fatigued_ by my rebellious flesh‼️.... Thank you, J-Mac‼️
Right on regarding the issues confronting the believer! Even so, come Lord Jesus!

I’m 17 what pastor John said is so true I’ve battled with drugs and got sober for 4 months then for 3 month and now I’m sober again.what he said looking forward to heaven to be away from sin and the flesh and the sins of the world I forward to that too being with Jesus without sin and having the weariness of sin. I know the Lord will guide me and bring the through He has very time.He’s answered prayers me gave me love like no other. I think of the the goodness of God and how good he’s been to me It doesn’t make sense all I’ve done is sin and he still came by and saved me What a God we serve I say all this to say God has been good to me and I haven’t been doing what I need too and he comes by and picks me up and gets me on my feet again.truly can’t repay him but I sure do thank Him for saving me and not giving up on me or leaving my side praise the Lord Jesus
Great testimony! Praise God! 😇🙌👍
Amen! That’s exactly the way I feel too, Pastor John…weary of the battle with sin- mine and the world’s!
What a fantastic interview! The importance of setting your affections on things above (Col. 3:2) is what I came away with. Lord, keep me accountable daily.
I think if more people read the bible for what it says rather than what they want it to say, things would be clear.
Here we have scriptures that tell us what the future reign of our Lord will be like....
If your heart for Christ then you need to read Ezekiel 44 & Malachi 3!
Its going to open you up to some truth that you aren't expecting
holy crap.. that comment about being weary of the flesh.. what a genuine way to put that. I'm speechless ... beautiful
Language.....
Wow.. Well that's how I feel too.. Tired of fighting it all.. Everyone's comments on here make me feel better tho.. It's not just me... Im on my own most of the time with this because where I live all the churches around me have gone nuts with the make you feel good gospel and all that.. Won't touch any thing that convicts you or end time stuff its sad.. So this made me feel not alone.. Thank you for everyone's comments and thank you pastor JM
Agree 100%. I am 72 and am tired of the flesh, sin, earthly "pleasures" (not really pleasures but I am at a loss of a good word to use), wars, crime, corruption, etc. I, along with millions of others, will be so happy, beyond words, when the Rapture happens or with the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. At 72 with cancer going on for about 4-years now, I doubt I will see the Rapture, but you never know, it could happen before I finish this post.
The battle with the flesh is the most weary thing as a believer. I thank the Holy Spirit for His ministry of regeneration and sanctification in this life. I look forward to glorification one day.
*And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.*
_Romans 8:23 NASB1995_
I would recommend a really good book by Dr. Macarthur called "The Vanishing Conscience" in which he goes into great detail about sanctificication and applying scripture to empower us through the Holy Spirit to mortify sin. God bless
@@codyvandal2860 Thank you 🙏
"Weary" is definitely the right word
Amen!
Brother Nicholas, how do you get "sanctified" without the gift of the Holy Spirit? Regeneration makes alive OUR spirits, by "seed." How to you get "filled" if it's already in you? You need to unpack that very verse-Romans 8:23. What part of the flesh is still alive?
I have learned so much from Pastor, Mr. John MacArthur, I really enjoy the way he speaks and he is a wonderful teacher of the Lord.
Hallelujah glory to God Pastor for this word of encouragement.
Theres nothing more encouraging than the truth,
His truth is truly a goal worth attaining.
What is pleasing to the Lord will be seen when He returns.

Language....
This is why I love listening to John MacArthur's preaching. He believes and teaches the Bible as written, unlike so many pastors that bring man's "knowledge", aka., evolution, into the mix. I left a church a few years ago because the new pastor preached the scripture in a "kinder and gentler" way because he didn't want to offend anyone.
Thank you for the informative, most encouraging words at the end, and the magnificent future awaiting the believer in Jesus Christ! Amazing, how much life-giving content can be packed into an eight-minute-Interview!! Do continue please! 🙏 🇨🇭
Thanks so much! Will do.
@Kevin Belgrove If it is so important to use the name in the original language then you probably should be writing it with Greek or Hebrew characters. Also following this logic we should rigorously practice to make sure we pronounce these names correctly without American accents. Can truth only be found in the original languages? Where in the Bible is the warning that every tribe and tongue should use the Hebrew tongue or face damnation? People with speech impediments will need some extra help.
@Kevin Belgrove What kind of church are you in? It is mysterious this special requirement to use Hebrew words. I wonder where it comes from and who else teaches this. Is it secret and only those who accept it at first hearing are in the book of life and can join your group?
@Kevin Belgrove Brother, did Paul write to the church in Ephesus, Corinth, Thessalonica, Rome in Hebrew only? Paul's ministry was to the Gentiles, not the Jews. It would make no sense to write in a language other than the language of those receiving it. Where is your evidence that these were only written in Aramaic or Hebrew?
I love you and your passion for our Lord but we should be loving and gentile in our correction of each other. Your responses read as sarcastic and belittling. These don't align with the fruit we bear in our hearts which testifies to our salvation. The evidence of love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Let us be passionate and zealous for our Lord but not lose sight of our responsibility to each other and the testimony the unbelieving world sees in our words and actions.
May Yahuah bless you and keep you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Yahushua.
@Kevin Belgrove My friend, I simply pointed out the Word (2 Tim 2:25) in regards to how we should go about correcting each other and which, in my opinion, your responses lacked. In addition I asked a sincere question in hopes you would teach by reason and the Word so that we all may test it against the Scripture to see if it is true.
As for who am I? I am just trying to serve our Lord in humility and grace as He leads me. Please give an ear to what I said and consider the heart with which I said it. And let us both put aside any pride that may exist in our hearts for "The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate" (Proverbs 8:13) and "Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished." (Proverbs 16:5)
Wow, here it is: the very questions I hoped to have answered from Pastor MacArthur. Namely, his understanding of the sequence of eschatalogical events, which I just searched for and failed to find yesterday on the GraceToYou Website. This is the way I've always understood from a preteen on. I too have noted how often a higher education can have a tendency to convolute and over complicate what would otherwise be seen as clearly laid out in scripture. I never attended college in any sort of consistent way, although I took what courses I was led to take from varying schools, then correspondence courses, then online courses and different ministries' teaching series, personal research and study and listening intently to the big headed guys (in a good way) like the entirety of the Ligonier fellows, and many more. All of these bible teachers and more I dearly love in the Lord. It was only 15 years ago that I learned the way I understood scripture was called reformed theology, which put me at odds with fellow elders at the Arminianist church with which I worked as well as churches I grew up in. Dr. MacArthur is at the top of the list, especially as far as trusting his hermeneutics. I'm afraid I have a one-sided over-familiarity with him so as to want to call him by the name RC Sr., as his buddy, sometimes used. But that would be disrespectful coming from a lowly like myself. Thank you, Dial In for the directness and upload. Thumbs up!
Yes! GOD has made it so simple---MAN has made it complicated and twisted the facts concerning the RAPTURE and SECOND COMING!! Thank you Pastor McArthur!💖✝️
"For me, the attraction of heaven is litteraly a weariness of the flesh". A truly down to earth answer, that I wholeheartedly agree with. And I'm only half the age of our beloved pastor...
It is always great to listen to a Truth speaking Biblical Pastor, Way to Go. Great Job Mr. MacArthur. It is easy to understand if you do not pick it apart like so many do. God Bless All.
Come Lord Jesus, Come!!
I remember God's promise that he is always with me.
This man has his finger on the pulse and knows his bible. Simply told of amazing events which will take part in this world. Come Lord Jesus come.
He could be wrong on this one, he's only a man.
He can't be wrong , it's in the scriptures !
I’m 66 and I understand about being tired

Part of the reason my walk with the Lord was so inconsistent during the first decades of my conversion was that I actually thought that Christians never sinned. So naturally it follows that if I was then I wasn’t a Christian. When Jesus said “You must be holy for I am holy” I took that verse to mean without sin because Jesus was. There were many other scriptures that seemed to be saying that. So when I sinned, which was just about every day in either thought, word, or deed, I would avoid God, not pray, stop reading my Bible out of shame. I didn’t understand that this was a deception of the devil. Jesus, being the hound of heaven, would not let me go and so I always returned to him. He showed me that I can’t stop sinning under my own strength or will and that’s why he died. He showed me that by staying in prayer and his word that he would do the heavy lifting and change me from within, slowly but surely taking away my desire and behaviors that caused me to sin. Of course being human it seemed like I always found new ways to sin but then he pointed out that nothing I was doing was new but that through the Holy Spirit more and more of my sin was being revealed to me. This becomes overwhelming as we realize how truly lost we are without Jesus and how much sin we actually commit. I now know that while I still sin, the battle is fought for me by Jesus and the Holy Spirit and my job is to stay close to God. I now know that this side of heaven I cannot ever be perfect and until I am no longer in the flesh, surrounded by the world, and surrounded by the dark spiritual forces, that only in my death and resurrection will I be sinless . This to me is the most exciting thing about salvation and the hope that I long for deep within my soul.
I love Pastor John.💜
Pastor, when I lived in America so many denominations and culture complicated life balance. Now living in Thailand, culture is kind, slower lifestyle fosters balance, and surprisingly nondenominational Church is found in homes in and around villages. Most have little to no education, however they understand the Bible in a simple meaning the way you just explained the Book of Revelation. Thank you for doing the Will of God. Always Glory to God ❤
HalleluYah... glad I was introduced to this man of G-D... by a man who teaches the Qu'raan, Bible and Tanakh.. introduced me to him, his word is going out all over many religions,, G-D is good
I long to meet the Lord, FACE TO FACE. Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!
I'm here to check out John's hipster shoes 🤣🤣🤣
Hes dressed pretty nice...
First thing I noticed 👀😎
same 🤣
I was thinking the same thing!
And that is why you only see flesh and can not see or learn of the Holy SPIRIT. Flesh shall judge flesh as spirit comes to JUDGE the spirit. You must desern the good from evil arrogance to blindly lead others into a ditch of the blind who shall not become to see. Why they fell into ditches 😒
Thanks Pastor John
We love you!!
Thank You I needed this been crying in my Spirit
Yes Amen it’s not obscure, its clear in the scriptures for us. Thank you Lord
I can understand weariness with the flesh. I can really associate with what John is saying
73 and am exhausted with sin and trying to love those that don't love Christ. God give me strength to endure.
At the last trumpet, we meet him in the clouds.
Love this. Thank you John. Thank you Lord. We are made to feel ashamed of longing to be with the Lord and believing in the pre trib rapture.
this is the most casual I've seen john dress ... refreshing
Amen John. See you in the Kingdom
I can confirm it's right there in the Bible. I'm from Ireland where the churches do not teach anything about end times. I believe the same. I learned it from the Bible.
Hi Julie....IRL too and church is silent; perhaps fearful they'll get something wrong but too afraid to say anything.
God bless...
I've heard some decent sermons about the end times from an Irish preacher from limerick city church. Have you heard of Keith Malcomson? Is his teaching biblical?
If any one wants to see in pillars of smoke what many call a rapture...here it is.
I hope you see it this time. :)

O pastor I understand what you saying we are are so busy looking for next high in life but I’m so over it I just want to go home I’m physical and emotional tired I just want to be with Jesus . Come Lord Jesus come quickly 🎊God bless you abundantly pastor 🎀
I agree with MacArthur on this amen.
I think if more people read the bible for what it says rather than what they want it to say, things would be clear.
Here we have scriptures that tell us what the future reign of our Lord will be like....
If your heart for Christ then you need to read Ezekiel 44 & Malachi 3!
Its going to open you up to some truth that you aren't expecting
Recently, I had a dream where our Lord Jesus showed me to read the New Testament. I rarely ever have dreams and forget them within hours of waking up, but I *still* vividly remember this one. I believe that He was showing me to tell everyone that it is time for us to learn what the New Testament is really about and that it is time for all of us to get right, especially considering how many Biblical prophecies are coming true as we speak.
The old testament is all about the coming of Christ. The new is about Christs death and resurrection and return.
I would say that the New Testament is much, much more than that and I can only tell you about what I shown. God bless us all.@@TJ_CrayonBeltFeeder
Kool kicks Johnny Mac is wearing! This man has some serious Joshua and Caleb strength going on there. God bless you.
Oh wow, yous talkin so's cool, you'd muse be dat news boys in school.
Happy to know that John MacArthur believes the same thing I've believed for 5 decades. Nice to be on the same page with him.
You know God's Word is true when so many scoffers come to comment and bully Jesus' promises to His Bride.

Thank for the clarity we need it so much
I agree with JMac, that it is supposed to be simple to understand. The allegorical route seems to take much mental gymnastics to make sense out of.
I also agree double doubles are better lol.

I have always been taught that there is a pre tribulation rapture, and when I read the Bible thats how I understood it... But I dont know what to think because I want to be with God on this educational journey...othet christians have told me that the verses I have read dont mean what I think, making me worry that I am following false prophets, I am literally scared to death..because I dont understand what I am reading and I want to be right with God..and not follow false teachers...I don't know what to think...or believe...PLEASE GOD, SHOW ME THE WAY! PRAISE GOD!!! AMEN
SOME MAJOR SCRIPTURAL PROBLEMS WITH THE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE; Over and over the Bible has the end-time Godly believers being delivered on the SAME day that the wicked are punished; not the case in a pre-trib rapture scenario. Jesus, Himself, gave two examples to look to in the end times: Noah and Lot. Noah and his family were delivered on the same day the wicked perished in the flood. “In the 600th year of Noah’s life, on the 17th day of the 2nd month the floodgates of the deep opened and the heavens poured down rain. On that very day, Noah and his family entered the Ark.” Lot and his family were delivered on the same day the wicked are punished. 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1 says, “God is just, He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you, and give relief to you who are troubled when the Lord Jesus is revealed from Heaven in flaming fire with His powerful angels bringing punishment to those who don’t know God and refuse to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ.” 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1 says, “Concerning the coming of the lord and our being gathered to Him (the rapture)…don’t let anyone deceive you. That Day of the Lord won’t come until two things happen first; the great apostasy and the man of sin is revealed.” (by the abomination of desolation) Joel 2:31 says, “The sun will be darkened, and the moon turned to blood BEFORE the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the Lord.” And Jesus in the Olivet discourse talks about the rise of the anti-christ and the persecution of the saints and then says, “Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon turned to blood.” Revelation 3:10 says, “I will keep you from the time of testing coming upon the whole earth.” Sounds like pre-trib, BUT the word translated keep above is the Greek word tereo and it means “to guard by keeping the eye upon.” It does NOT mean to protect by taking us out before the tribulation starts. I believe the Pre-Wrath Rapture best fits scripture.
So upon my reading of Scripture, I came to a different conclusion...just like in Genesis where God says He created male and female, then he retells it and explains the process more fully (taking a rib from Adam to make Eve), among other passages using the same technique, I understood revelation in the same way. Some of the events are being mentioned, then more fully explained again, which coincides with reading the Old Testament revelations of what happens just before Jesus' earthly reign. I just can't see the "rapture" happening before the tribulation of those days (Matthew 24).

Live as much life on earth with Jesus as you can.!
It goes so fast.
“You would have to go to school to get that wrong.” Right?!! 😍
Come LORD JESUS !!...what a day that will be. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇿🇦
I don't even know why other Pastors think the rapture is post tribulation. Scripture shows proof it's pretribulation.
Thank you for this.
Think about this...if the believers are snatched away before the start of tribulation, who are the saints who will be persecuted? Does it mean Jesus will take up some and leave some behind?

Dude. MacArthur has it. What a blessing. As a high school teacher, fighting to get funding for kids and then as a dad, teaching your kids the way against all the distractions, and then part of a strata that's inundated by others trying to profit from us, etc etc, divorcing a narc, corrupted parents, the list goes on, you get tired. Watch the previous episode with MacArthur on how to know if you're saved. So good. And bookmark Kris Reece if you're struggling with mental health, she will point you back to Jesus and health. Keep fighting and then go to the mountains and rest when you need it. Thank you God for these guys.
