- Everyone knows the rapture is in the Bible. Or, is it? Despite it being popularized and commercialized by Christian books, movies and even Hollywood, Skye Jethani makes the case that the Rapture is not actually in the Bible - no, not even in Revelation!
He looks at the passages often used to support the Rapture, Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 4, and unpacks what they actually reveal about Christ’s return and why it's time for the Rapture to be left behind.

"CAUGHT UP"...... Means ???..... "In The Air" Means ???...... > The Greek word from this term “rapture” is derived appears in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, translated “caught up.” The Latin translation of this verse used the word rapturo. The Greek word it translates is harpazo, which means to snatch or take away.
Nothing in the passage indicates we go to heaven, though.
Harpazo is not in the bible harpagesometha is. Harpa gesometha at the time of the sickle to the earth. When does the sickle get put to the earth... Go search
@@Bruce_PetersEnoch & Elijah were "Raptured" or caught up
Not so fast, sir. Paul himself said, then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together, to meet the LORD in the air, and so shall we ever be with the LORD. Comfort ye one another with these words.
@@MistaSCARY Not to heaven where God's throne is. Elijah was caught up to the sky that's all we know. Enoch died later. Heb 11.
1Th 4:17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Did you even watch the video? He explained that whole passage in it. We will be with Christ as He reigns on earth.
@@laurentroland6847 Indeed, it actually refutes the pretrib-rapture fraud.
@@laurentroland6847 Yes but with our glorified bodies we'll be caught up in the air and then in heaven to save us from Antichrist's reigm when the Holy Spirit will also be taken from the Earth with us.Then... and all saint's come back with Jesus to destroy Antichrist and to burn the whole earth with fire.Then...holy new Jerusalem comes down from heaven and Jesus reigns in his holy city with all saints and holy angels for 1000 years.
@@laurentroland6847" not appointed to wrath, the Lord saith..."
"I will destroy the earth with fire..."
HARPAZO IN GREEK.
The word Air... in Greek is word number 109 it means Breath of Life or spiritual body which is what we turn into at the 7th Trump Revelation 1911 described in 1 Corinthians 15 verses 51 and 52
God condemns the Rapture theory in Ezekiel 13:18 through 21 I don't know why people would want to be raptured out of here anyway when the whole goal of being a Christian is to stand against the Antichrist described in Mark 13 Matthew 24 and Luke 21. God bless
I'm from Romania and no one heard about the "Left behind" books. We simply know that Jesus will return and take us, away from the Tribulation
Where do you think I'm from? By the way tribulation is a mystery. God bless you.
Well I guess that proves it, then.
Go Romania!! I agree with you. God is coming and will take his children
Christianity is the path through struggle. It makes no sense that we would not struggle with the sinners through Tribulations... This just sounds like wishful thinking... It would be better to be prepared to not be raptured than prepare to be rapture only to find you're still here....
@@kingkoi6542 Amen! The Bible teaches that God has will guide us through tribulation, not save us from it. Just look at Joseph in prison, Moses in the wilderness and Jesus in Gethsemane. God will give us strength to overcome, just have faith and trust in Him!
"Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
Yep, then he’s coming down to judge one time one time only
Yes and that's the rapture. He doesn't come to earth until after the tribulation, that will be his 2nd coming..
@@Here12years yeah there’s a couple books out there. There is no rapture and they explain why what it says when Jesus comes down he’s gonna raise the dead and he’s gonna bring his living followers and he’s gonna come down here and judge the end
@@stewarttomkinson3356 there's many many books out there confirming the pre-trib rapture...
@@stewarttomkinson3356 you are talking about his 2nd coming
Skye's hair was raptured long ago, but I'm glad he was left behind to share this with us.
Dude, you win the comment section! 😂
Buahaha
Yo!!! 😂😂😂😂
Best comment of the year!!
He something right but some wrong. All of us mistakes but we should Act knowledge we understand, when we do so, and correct them.
Harpazo is translated “caught up” or “caught away” the five times (out of. thirteen) it appears in the Bible relating to rapture. The other eight times it is translated, “to. forcibly seize upon, snatch away, take to oneself or use force on someone.” 3.
And so what? Doesn’t mean anything as far as the rapture goes.
Did you watch this video? I think you may have misinterpreted the scripture you are using.
@@MjandDilly23 That is the Rapture. Harpazo translated into Latin is Raptus and into English as 'Rapture.'
Exactly, this guy is a false teacher.
False teaching!!! Let no one deceive you!!! He is not proving the Bible with the Bible!!! He has completely omitted the Wedding Supper of the Lamb!!!
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, Romans 1:22.
Amen
Rev 3:10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.
but it did not say explicitly that they will be hidden in heaven.. it says that God will keep them from the hour of trial.. there are countless stories in the Bible that during great tribulations that believers were kept by God.. the story of Israel and Egypt, where the Israelites was kept protected in Goshen till the 10 plagues was done. or Elijah the prophet was kept hidden and protected by God during the 3 years drought.
Revelation 3:10 - is actually:
ὅτι ἐτήρησας λόγον ὑπομονῆς τηρήσω ὥρας πειρασμοῦ μελλούσης ἔρχεσθαι ὅλης οἰκουμένης πειράσαι τὸν κατοικοῦντας γῆς
It literally means -- "that to watch over/guard a word a remaining behind to watch over/guard a time an experiment to be about to to come/to go complete the inhabited earth to make proof of the to inhabit earth/land"
All the other [fluff] was added by translators. Yes, The Bible is very "cave man" with it's writing, but we are not to change it (we already did - we added chapters and verses - none of _either_ was ever in the original writing - it was meant as a "run-on novel", so readers would read the whole thing - and get the context) - yet we massively have. that's exactly why I use the "Lexicon" Bible - since "lexicon" is a Greek word for "of the original word", it's the original Hebrew and Greek. Start here:
biblehub.com/lexicon/genesis/1-1.htm
New Testament (the "New Covenant") starts here:
biblehub.com/lexicon/matthew/1-1.htm
Very western teachings, outside of the western world Christians continue to suffer and be prosecuted.
Have you ever considered that the trial that is being referred to here is the trial on the earth dwellers (unbelievers), which is the wrath of God that begins after the 6th seal at the Day of the Lord. I believe the resurrection occurs at the 6th seal when the cosmic signs appear in the heavens at Christ's revelation. This trial that comes on the whole world, are for those that dwell on the earth (the earth dwellers) not on the believing saints. The Bible does say that we are not appointed to God's wrath that is poured out on the earth dwellers. The great tribulation that Jesus speaks about is not God's wrath but is Satan's persecution of the saints (believers and ethnic Israel) through the Beast and the false prophet.
@@katherineconley2089 It says those on earth, everyone, saints, and those that are unbelievers. The movies and books written about this are wrong. If believers are caught up and the unbelievers are left then there will not be anyone to witness to them. There are no verses saying this. Jesus is coming once and all shall see Him. That is what the scriptures say.
Revelation 3:10
“Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.”
Was wondering why he didn’t mention this verse
John 14:3 in Other Translations
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
Thank you
So dude doesn't believe in the second coming of christ rev 3 10
Word ‘Keep’ does not mean rapture or taken away. It is more in dealing with a divine protection or placed in a secured location of covering. It is also in knowing the truth of Elohim. It does not mean ‘raptured, or ‘taken out of the way.’ One of the prophecies that comes to mind and thought in my heart is a location in the wilderness were Elohim feeds and covers His people in protection will every one else goes through trail of judgment. I do not read His people being taken or raptured into Heaven. Elohim has the ability to protect His people from the trails of His judgment where ever they are or will be. He has done so in the biblical past and He will do it according to His Word in the future events according to the Word given.
It's best to read for yourself, asking the Holy Spirit to teach you and give you understanding. Just because Skye or anyone else just tells you something, doesn't mean they are right. The Greek word in the bible is Harpazo in the bible which mean to be snatched away.
Absolutely, and he totally ignores Luke 21:36 and Rev 5:8-10.
Holy spirit meaning Gullible hallucinating imagination.
@@justmyopinion7 Those passages are about what already happened in the 1st century. Flavius Josephus, the Jewish historian wrote about it. It was _horrible_
@@NickSandtwhen did the great earthquake happen in 70 a.d. mentioned in Revelation 6:12?
In fact read Revelation 6:12-18 when did any of that happen in 70 a.d?
@@KyrieEleisonMaranatha “With the breaking of the sixth seal, John watched signs indicating catastrophic events:
and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became as black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up . . . -Rev. 6:12-14
As we explained earlier,[38] the sun, moon, and stars were frequently used to refer to governing authorities. When governing authorities were removed or diminished, the sun, moon, or stars were said to fall or darken. In this passage, we see these authorities being shaken by the presence of God. The apocalyptic reference to earthquakes meant that God was intervening and acting in judgment to remove established authorities and replace them with His authority. To see this in another passage, we can read Hebrews 12:26-28:
And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet, once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let’s show gratitude . . .
This is another example of God shaking authorities and establishing His authority. Once the sixth seal was broken, we are told:
Then the kings of earth and the eminent people, and the commanders and the wealthy and the strong, and every slave and free person hid themselves in the caves . . . “Fall on us . . . for the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” -Rev. 6:15-17
John was seeing a vision of what “must soon take place.” God had arrayed His warhorses, which represented His authority and power. In God’s glorious presence and the presence of His power, the authorities of Earth were Struck with terror. They could see that judgment and war were about to begin.”
I believe everythig is tied to Daniel's 70 weeks. Not going into detail here, there's enough information on the internet. Short version: GOD gave Israel 70 weeks (490 years) to put an end to sin, with His final effort being the first coming of Jesus. Jesus was killed after the 69th week. There was no peace, sin was still here. Then came the church age. The 70th week is the 7 year tribulation during which the Jews have a last chance to accept their Savior. Those who accept Him will get into the Millenium, those who reject Him wil die. The Church Age has nothing to do with the Jews. The Church (Christians) already accepted Christ as their Savior, so there's no need to make them go through the last 7 years of the Tribulation. In fact, the entire time since Jesus' death and ressurection was a tribulation period. Christians were persecuted, still are. But they remained faithful. So why would they have to go through the Great Tribulation? The story of Noah can be compared to the Tribulation. Noah had to built an ark, so he and his family would survive the flood. The Rapture is like the Ark. The Antichrist is like the flood. Faith in Jesus gives you a place on the Ark. That's how I see it.

BOY , IS THIS GUY GOING TO BE SUPRISED !!!!!!!!!!

No, delusional Evangelicals and such will be. He's right. Charles Nelson Darby of the Brethren Movement invented this teaching in the late 1800s. No one had heard of it before that year. Why is it that Evangelicals get so frustrated with this? You never see this contention anywhere else.
@@s.r.t.5123 If it was INVENTED in the 1800 why does Paul teach it in the Bible, which is before the 1800's / ALSO, Darby wasn't the first to teach it. MANY before him did. Do you research.

That will be at the end of this age. Or maybe at the end of the milenium

That is during the millennium,or possibly later.Isnt relevent to the discussion
Right on!!! Keep showing what GODS word Says!
You need FAITH to be in this number, not the mockery of demons they always mocked at Gods servants, even mocked at Jesus CONSTANTLY. It's like they have DNA that makes them do this!
context
The scripture is talking those NOT ASLEEP and are watching. (WHAT ARE WE WATCHING FOR?, and why are you mocking it!)
1 Thessalonians 4;16
"For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first;"
17 "then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the
Lord."
1 Corinthians 15:52
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
John 14:3 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
Revelatioins 3:10-11
10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.
11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
Yes, but the whole point is that Christ comes only AFTER the tribulation... There is no whisking away of people in order to prevent them from facing persecution. We are told, in scripture, that we are to expect persecution and even death for the sake of Christ! "You will be persecuted and some of you will even be killed for my name's sake, but he who endures to the end will win the crown of eternal life"!
Thinking that we will be whisked away before the tribulation is a deception, designed to make people fall away from Christ if this false hope is not being realized. Or, they might falsely believe that they could never be confronted with the mark of the beast and therefore just take it anyway, because, they are not supposed to be here when the mark gets rolled out, right?
'I will never leave you nor forsake you.' - Truth.
The rapture is mentioned everywhere in scripture and in fact it repeatedly says that it is immediately after the tribulation on the Day Of The Lord which is before his wraith. We as believers need to stick to the scriptures and watch for false teachers
Very good. Many, many Christians have been deluded with a false escape clause of the pre-trib rapture view. Matthew 24:29-31 is abundantly clear. We meet the Lord in the air at the end of the Great Tribulation (v31).
Skye, you said something here that is verifiably UNTRUE:
"The rapture makes for exciting movies."
hahahaha
Aw, how mean! You made PureFlix cry!
Bad movies can be still exciting. I love how many crashes occur in a matter of minutes in the Left Behind movie with Nicholas Cage.
Lol, I was going to say the same thing!
scary is exciting to some 🤷♀️
The *trauma* I experienced as a young child who loved Jesus, yet would still get scared that I had been left behind when I couldn’t find my parents! So much torment for a little girl.
Indeed, sadly I think it was a trick to try to make people scared to be left behind so that they would become Christians.
I went through that also when I was a child.
The Children will be raptured as well.
@@Cherryhill335 no such thing as a rapture
I believe the OP is stating that this falsehood created such fear for them that when they couldn't find their parents they thought they had been left behind, that they weren't part of the rapture
A sad story maybe but it has no bearing on whether or not the rapture is true.
Wondering if you'd let your bride wait seven horrifying years or would you come and receive her to yourself beforehand so she can be with you as you promised? 🤔
I'm not a proponent of the rapture... it seems like hogwash to me.. but what would you tell Christians in the middle east who are literally skinned alive to this day? Surely they are enduring a great tribulation regardless of whether or not it is depicted in the Bible.
Bride, You must be tested. Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord will enter., Only Martyrs and those tested to the point of death will Rule and Reign with Christ for 1000 years. He did not spare his son so you aren't worthy unless tested.
There is no 7 year tribulation either, the 70 weeks of Daniel are over, no gap between the 69th & 70th weeks to give you 7 years in the future. The 70th week was Messiah's ministry that was interrupted in the middle by His Crucifixion that ended the validity of the Temple sacrifices.
Although the temple sacrifices were continued after Jesus' perfect sacrifice, by the unbelieving Jews, they were an abomination that brought the desolation of the temple & city in 70 ad. The last 7 years were Messiah's ministry ending with the martyrdom of Stephen. The 7 year tribulation is a false doctrine.
Exactly
@@happyappy19931 psalm 2
Looking for the blessed Hope, and the appearing of our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ
The blessed hope is not a pre-trib rapture. It is the hope of salvation from the judgment of hell and the godlessness of the world. Read the context of Titus 2
In my fathers house, there are many rooms I go to prepare a place for you and if I go, I will come again and take you to myself that where I am there you will be also. To take something thing is to remove it from its current place and bring it to you. Where he is there we will be also. When
Where is Jesus? In heaven of course. There we will be also.
That's John not Paul!
Exactly! Rapture deniers fail to connect John 14:1-3 with 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. The Rapture is Not about the Coming (Parousia) of a conqueror but the coming of the Bridegroom for His Bride (Matthew 25:1-13), the Elect.
@@fohponomalama5065 How blind can you be? The parousia is not a technical word for only the Lords coming. The rapture is simply the resurrection of those who are alive when Jesus comes the 2nd time. Talk about failures!
Since the beginning of Christianity Christians have confessed their belief that Jesus will come again. It's in both the Apostles Creed and Nicene Creed, but until fairly recently the understanding has been that Jesus will return only once, not twice.
@@veridicusmaximus6010 Paul didn't have his own teachings, he only taught the same gospel Matthew, Mark, Luke and John taught. There's only 1 gospel of Christ and that's from Matthew to Revelation.
There is a rapture of Believers described in the Bible but it is not seperate or secret. It occurs at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and is clearly described in scripture.
The Rapture was invented by Margaret McDonald in 1835 and if you look up the word rapture in the dictionary it's an evil thing.
David McPherson wrote several books on it you could Google him and read his documentation that there is no Rapture that it's Satan that's going to be preaching the Rapture because the first one that's taken in the field and Matthew 24 is Satan taking them in his fake rapture. God bless you
It is in the bible...caught up in the sky...don't listen to this false teacher
It comes *after* the Tribulation, not before, like Rapture advocates often say.

Exactly. Not mentioned after chapter 4 until chapter 19 when the church comes back with Jesus. How can that happen unless the church was take away!
Amen!

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
@@user-hn4hw9gy9q There is no Biblical basis for that either. All the times 1000 is used in the Bible it is sympbolic. Jesus said his kingdom is not of this world. Why would he set up an earthly kingdom.
Actually, there is a "rapture" that occurs for the believers that are alive, it is the being taken up into the air to meet The Lord as mentioned in the scriptures.
We will be wherever Jesus is at from that point on.
The Bible does not teach a rapture of any kind, as Christ plainly prophecies in Matt. 24 that the whole world _will see_ Christ's saints being gathered to Him _when He returns_ . That's the part that makes the rapture doctrine inherently false. Nobody is going to be mysteriously zapped off the planet with no one knowing where they want, nor will it happen at any point before Christ's return.
@@theeternalsbeliever1779 As I stated in my original reply, it is the believers that are alive being taken up in the air to meet The Lord, that is the rapture, of course the dead in Christ will rise first.

@@cameronsmith8427 Yes, that is it and I can't stay out of it because I'm a born again believer and when The Lord appears I along with other believers that are alive will be caught up in the air to meet the Lord.

he's eliminating a number of relevant verses, he's confusing the rapture with the second coming, he doesn't mention the absence of the church after the third chapter of Revelation nor the multiple verses that state that the church will not go through the tribulation, it's called "selective scripture"
I would like to see the list of verses that states no Christians will be in the tribulation....maybe I missed them in the Bible....Just because the church isn't mentioned after Revelations 3 doesn't mean that the church is exempt from tribulation.... indeed in some of our greatest tribulations in life is our faith strengthened and God test us in tribulation to see if we truly love him...the most important thing is not about rapture or tribulation but will you be right with God when you die...once you die your fate is sealed...we should be more concerned about salvation of souls than by the means by which Jesus comes back or whether we are left or taken out of the tribulation
Revelation 13. Waaaay past the 3rd chapter. 13:7 It was also given to him (the Beast/Anti-Christ) to make war with the saints and to overcome them..... Sooooo, if the church was harpazo'd, who are the "saints". Kinda hard to make war with saints who've been raptured.
@@mikemartinez842 Mike the saints you refer to are not the Church. These are souls that become Christ followers after the Rapture and during the tribulation. They pay dearly and most will be martyred. It is quite clear the Church is absent during the Tribulation time frame.
I looked also for the word Christmas, Easter, Trinity but couldn’t find them either.
Christmas & Easter are pagan festivals dressed up in Christian garb to fool the masses, but the trinity is just found in scripture without being called that. The rapture doctrine is like the former not the latter & is false doctrine.
Correct.
Today's Christianity more resembles ancient Egypt than the faith of the apostles and the New Testament..
Dear @Rosie-ud7ul,
You had asked a very thought provoking question. Neither Christmas, nor Easter Nor Trinity are in the Bible! These are all Egyptian, Greek, Roman, pagan philosophical traditions that were brought into Christianly by the gentile converts. IF you truly care about worshipping our Abba Yahweh in spirit and truth, here are the answers to your questions.
Should Christians Celebrate Christmas?

Yes the rapture is in the Bible.
Revelation 3:10
Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.
1Thessalonians 5:9-10 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him.
1 Thessalonians 4:17
(THEN) we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
Luke 21:36
But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to (ESCAPE) all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
1 Thessalonians 1:10
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath (TO COME).
Let's go over this, shall we?
"Yes the rapture is in the Bible."
Correct, but it ain't pretrib!
"Revelation 3:10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth."
This is your FIRST verse you post?! This verse is not talking about the Rapture AT ALL! If you think it does, it's because some preacher CONNED you into that interpretation. The word "keep" mean to GUARD, not to Rapture you out of here. And "the hour of temptation (KJV)" is NOT what that same preacher told you it was. You can't claim the hour of temptation is linked to an Antichrist or the Mark of the Beast or anything else. You don't know that. It's just a false assumption made by PreTrib Dispensationalists who use eisegesis to make there false theology sound right.
"1Thessalonians 5:9-10 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him."
And this is your SECOND go to verse?! This doesn't prove a Rapture. It just proves you don't understand the word "wrath". All this verse is saying is that we won't go through the 7 Vials, which are "the wrath of God" according to Revelation 15:1, 15:7, and 16:1. We get raptured "at the last trump" just before those 7 Vials. That ain't "PreTrib". It's Post Trib!
"1 Thessalonians 4:17 (THEN) we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord."
THIS should have been your FIRST go to verse.
"Luke 21:36 But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to (ESCAPE) all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
How does this verse prove a Rapture?! It doesn't. But you're using it trying to prove "immanency" which is just NOT there in the Bible AT ALL. I'm more awake than you! I'm ready for the Rapture! But I know it'll be Post Trib.
"1 Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath (TO COME)."
Again, this verse doesn't prove a Rapture at all. Your biggest mistake here is your belief that the Seals and Trumpets are "the wrath of God". They're not! Go read Revelation 15:1, 15:7, and 16:1. Only the Vials are God's Wrath and they happen AFTER "the last trump" when we get Raptured.
Eman… excellent post.
Great Bible proofs.
I guess Anti-Rapture people are choosing to stay behind.
Hopefully Jesus gives them a second chance to be raptured up in A mid Tribulation Rapture or an End of Tribulation Rapture to receive their imperishable body, right before the church comes back with Jesus to destroy the wicked and save the Jews to set up a Millennium Kingdom for a thousand years.
Revelation 17:14, Revelation 19:14-16, Daniel 11:36, Zachariah 14:5.
Revelation 20.
That’s not what “the rapture” is, and there’s more that we base it and even other end times ideas. Revelations has to be read in context and a couple of verses elsewhere assume the *modern* ideas of inerrancy and literalism, more are not early or otherwise historic ideas.
Allegory and parables are also lost on people out of context.
He even gives it in this video..
though it still is doing all of the above- so much more learning and unpacking to do. Even Jews see the OT differently and some are still trying to learn the intent to be consistent.
Even beyond that, it’s important to understand that allegories in the Old Testament are not what we think.
Even extreme groups about the rapture don’t see most of the verses that are used as talking about it. Only see 1 Thessalonians he cited as supporting it. I’m sure people vary because the ones who were most intense about it before the last 7-8 years or so focused so much on staying in each book of the Torah for a year or two at a time and talking about it literally or whatever they came up with outside of Jewish understanding of underling meanings.
Good times.
Even Left Behind books- the author prefaces in first pages that it’s a work of fiction and isn’t necessarily supporting anything in the Bible.
This is still incredibly literal, out of context. Revelations is about Roman Empires persecution and the Jews and early Christians, and Paul or whomever wrote Thessalonians and others has a range of conflicting ideas, including thinking Jesus was coming back soon, at least when taking consistently literal. It’s important to not just believe what people tell you that you should or must believe.
@LaShayMcKeel-wc3mf The Book is called "Revelation". No wonder you're a Preterist. Your hermeneutic is horrible. When you reject what is literally said in favor of allegory, you make God a liar. You mislead and deceive by pushing Preterism.
@@LaShayMcKeel-wc3mf You have every right to decide that you want to go through the Tribulations and stay behind and go through the torturing wrath, so you can receive a better resurrection…however don’t keep trying to deceive others into going through it with you.
Others believe in the Rapture/1Resurrection and we are going to meet Jesus in the clouds to go home with him to Heaven, like he promised. 1Thess 1:10, 1Thess 4:13-18, 1Thess 5:9, John 14:1-3.
Good luck making it through without caving into Anti-Christ, the tortures, earthquakes, plagues, pestilence, starvation, bloody water, beheadings, being sawed in half, etc…
Paul warned us not to want to go through this.
Hebrews 11:35-40 says…
There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. 36 Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were put to death by stoning; they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated- 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground. 39 These were all commended for their faith, yet NONE of them received what had been promised, 40 since God had planned something BETTER for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
Hebrews 11:35-40
You can only be made perfect through Jesus and what he has already done for us.
He is enough.
2,000 years later and still debating fundamental scriptural doctrine. Didn't Jesus say "you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free''?...
Actually no. He said IF YOU ARE MY DISCIPLE, you will know the truth...... Amazing how many people leave out that predicative phrase before knowing the truth. Mike

I notice that no-one has responded to my post: either to affirm or to challenge.
So... did I just get ignored because no-one has the courage or knowledge to challenge me... ? Or was it because they simply have just blocked out my comment?
Agreed. Really appreciate how charitable you presented this. No mocking. No insulting. Much respect.
Jesus said "Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” in Luke 21:36
Oh and before opening of the FIRST seal......
Rev 5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
(Did you see?? "Redeemed us to GOD" from every nation, kindred and tongue?)
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
The 24 elders are in heaven with Jesus, before the opening of the seals. Who is the 24 elders? In verse 9 we read: "for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation" Who is redeemed from every tongue, people and nation?

These are mockers and scoffers like in the time of Noah, just ignore them, this people prove the rapture more and more when they reject it, CANT WAIT, see you in the clouds!!!!
@mrsiryeah6024 there is no rapture
We are not saying no to the rapture. We are saying no to Darby’s dogma which falsely divides Israel believers from Gentile believers, for we have only one Church, which is made of Jews and Gentiles. The rapture happens at the end of the Tribulation (Matthew 24:29-31). You have been deluded into thinking that the Church will be raptured before the Tribulation begins. Not even one tiny shred of evidence can be found in the Bible to support the pre-trib view.
Look for me too !!
@@mrsiryeah6024 More so they are likely unsaved or unsure of their Salvation. They are crown thieves:
There are 5 of them and only one can be stolen:
Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that "no man take THY CROWN."
2 Timothy 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
If they can convince others the Rapture is not true, then they will not be looking for Christ to appear.
The Rapture will prove
"Who is saved"
by their being Raptured
And "who is Unsaved"
by their being left behind,
and the unsaved
can no longer deny
they never knew The Lord
See you in that Glorious Cloud Meeting,!
Look at the end of Book of Revelation. Notice that we come BACK with Jesus. Then explain how we are coming back with him if we haven't been raptured.
Because those who were taken away were those essentially kidnapped by Roman authorities in 70 A.D.
I'm not trying to be snarky, but you obviously didn't read the end of the Book of Revelation, where we return with Christ. It has nothing to do with the siege of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.
@@jonathanblack5597 Honestly I can barely believe that is your support for the rapture doctrine. The simple observation that Christ returns with "holy ones."

Unfortunately, this video and his scripture references missed the entire context of 1 Thess. 4 going into Chapter 5. He mentioned nothing about the word “caught up” which is the word harpazo which in the LV translates resurrection or rapture. The concept of the rapture speaks specifically to an event that precedes the 7 year tribulation. Context is king! When can’t cherry pick around the text but must confront it, literally, head on. Great graphics and explanation of his interpretation, but it was missed.
Yes! Since it is about the rapture you would expect him to mention "harpazo" right?
Anyway, Jesus said we must watch and pray to escape all what is about to happen (Luke 21:36) Another scripture he refrains from mentioning and even Rev 5:8-10, who is the 24 elders redeemed from the earth from every tongue, kindred and nation before opening of the first seal.

If the pre trib rapture was true then the prophets would've prophesied it as @eds2525 stated...
Thessalonians 4:16-18
"For The Lord himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet with The Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with The Lord.
Therefore comfort each other with these words."
When He comes, 'one will be taken and one will be left'. Pray you are one to be left. As it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be during the coming of the Son of man. Only the wicked were taken during the flood. Noah and his family remained.
Right. That's the rapture. He only appears in the sky. His second coming is after the tribulation. That's when he comes down to earth..
@@Here12years Scripture to back up this claim, please. 'Second Coming' means He is visible for EVERY eye to see. I'd like to see some scripture backing up the claim that Jesus comes and remains in the sky until the tribulation is done. Scripture CONSTANTLY tells us that God will deliver/keep/protect us THROUGH tribulations, not take us from them, or them from us. Rapture theology doesn't work. It's also very new (+- 120 years), introduced through Darby and the Schofield Bible. This is also where you get Zionism. It's ugly. It's not Biblical. It's a heresy.
@@mikegraves8628
Matt.24, The whole point of the "days of Noah" reference. The context has nothing to do with Noah,or how God saved Noah. The point Jesus was making was HOW they were living in the days of Noah,just before the flood (judgment) came and drowned all of them. They were "eating and drinking,marry,and giving away in marriage," another words business as usual, all the while,NOT KNOWING that judgment was upon them. Then Jesus said "and so also will be the coming ..." This clearly indicates He is talking about coming Before the judgments,before the tribulation. Not after.
Jesus quoted Daniel 12 and mentions "the abomination".
ALL the Jews knew this prophecy,that's why Jesus quoted it. Now, Jesus commanded,not suggested,that we keep watch over all the signs,right? Why should we? How can Jesus come unexpectedly?
because Jesus CANNOT come at any time! Oh no,not "the Day Of The Lord",which comes at the end of the tribulation.. Why? Because the rest of Daniel 12,which Jesus started to quote, reads: 11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.This is confirmed in Rev.13:5. So here, there is no Jesus can return at any time,so we have to keep watch and be ready,in post trib. All we have to do is wait for the Antichrist to enter the temple and perpetrate the abomination,and the countdown begins. 1335 days when the "abomination"takes place,and the daily sacrifices are abolished,and the Messiah,who is Jesus,RETURNS to set up His kingdom reign. There's no arguing this,it's right there plain as day.
So now you have a major contradiction.
if you were taught biblical exegesis and hermeneutics,you would know that there are rules. Rule that can't be broken if you're being honest with what scripture is saying. Not what you want it to say. And this is one of the big rules.You cannot have a direct contradiction like this. If Jesus is teaching that He will come unexpectedly, which was the whole point of the Matt.24 "like in the days of Noah" analogy, then this His coming that He is referring to is,IS NOT the return at the end of the tribulation. Which is know as "the Day Of The Lord".It can't be,because we know that coming will happen, to the very day.
Why should we keep watch over "all these things" He commanded us to? How can people be living "business as usual" and making plans for their future,ALL through the tribulation,until the end,when very few people are even alive?! How can ALL the churches just "fall asleep",(Matt.25,parable of the ten bridesmaids) while the Antichrist is killing all the saints ? Rev.13:7
Did the apostles know what the church was when Jesus taught "Upon this rock I shall build my church,and the gate of hell shall never prevail against it"? No! They didn't know what the church was. That word ecclesia meant "called out ones". Who was that? Did they know the church would be mostly gentiles,under a new covenant,that would abolish the old covenant? No. Not for decades. Only Paul had the "mystery"of the church and the rapture revealed to him.Thirty plus years later. Only the writer of Hebrews knew there was going to be a new covenant,that would abolish the old covenant. Because the new covenant was for gentiles,the church. So,in the Olivet discourse,in three of the gospels, when Jesus taught about His returning,they,and everyone listening to Jesus,who knew the prophets, had no clue about the rapture.Because they didn't have a clue about what the church was! They only knew the Day Of the Lord,which comes at the end of the tribulation. Everyone who followed Jesus was looking for the Messiah to come and set up His kingdom reign. But the things He was teaching and prophesying just didn't make sense. Not to the Jews or the apostles. Think about it,with what you knew of O.T. prophecies and then listening to Jesus teach here,wouldn't you be confused? You can't separate the prophecies concerning the Jews,and the 144000 from the 12 tribes of Israel,and possibly the "bridesmaids who ran out of oil" (they were left out of the wedding (the rapture)but it doesn't mean they can't repent,from the church. Not if you didn't know what the church is. And thats the problem Post Trib believers have. They see the tribulation saints,as the church,going through the judgments of God's wrath. But our faith has already been proven,or we wouldn't have been raptured in the first place,get it. It's the tribulation saints (notice they're not ekklesia) ,which in part must be the 144000 from the 12 tribes of Israel,who's faith is being tested.
@@user-bs5sr3gh3q
The abomination of desolation occurred in AD 70. The ancient church understood this, which is exactly why Christ said "this generation will surely not pass till ALL is fulfilled". What generation? THAT generation. The generation He was speaking to. Again, I will say that the Rapture doctrine is new. It did not exist 200 years ago. It's not Biblical. The Rapture doctrine also gives way to a 'second chance', that you may be saved after the church has been Raptured. When Jesus returns suddenly, that's it. "He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”
When He comes, EVERY eye will see Him, even those that pierced Him. Insinuating that those that crucified our Lord have been resurrected. "The dead in Christ shall rise FIRST, THEN we which are alive and REMAIN shall be caught up together with them in the CLOUDS, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord". Context is everything. If the dead are rising, this is the resurrection. Every human being that has ever existed will be resurrected, either to eternal life, or will face the second death. THAT is Biblical. Nowhere in Scripture is there described a SECRET Rapture event where only Christians will disappear, and then all of the sudden the tribulation takes place.
Also; 1 Thessalonians 4:16 says He will RETURN with a SHOUT. Not very secretive. It's pretty clear when you read it for what it says. Dispensationalism leads the church astray, and it's specifically a Western church theology.
Regarding Israel and the 144,000, you're ASSUMING they're Jews. That's your westernized interpretation of the Word. Israel was made up of 12 tribes. 10 of them were cast out of the land and are now referred to as the "lost tribes". If you know anything about ancient history, you'll find that these 10 tribes make up the modern world/nations. For example, the tribes of Dan, Ashur, and Nephtali settled in Scandinavia, Denmark, etc. and ended up making what is today the German, French, Danish, and other people groups. These tribes didn't just 'disappear'. They migrated over to Europe, and they weren't 'Jewish'. The modern day state of Israel is made up of Ashkenazi Jews, who aren't children of Shem (Semitic), but of Japheth (Gomer/Ashkenaz).
At the end of the day, it sounds like you are fully in on this Rapture business, and there's nothing I can say to change your mind. All I can say is that I hope your faith is strong and doesn't fail you in the day of trouble and He hasn't returned yet. My parents believe the same things you do, and there's nothing I can say to change their minds.
The definition of rapture means to be caught up. 1 Thessalonians 4
I tried to explain this to my parents, but they did want to listen or believe what I was trying get them to believe truth
Um - so they can recognise a myth, and you can't?
Listen to your parents, they are right. This guy missed the mark in many ways. All this video did is confirm for me that the rapture is indeed in the Bible. He ended by mentioning I Corinthians 15, but just he chastised people for earlier, took only a piece of the passage. The context of this chapter is the changing of the perishable (the flesh) with the imperishable (spiritual bodies). "50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed- 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality." Somehow, this perishable flesh will be changed "in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet." This is not talking about a few people who survive welcoming Jesus in the flesh. It is a "mysterious" event (vs.51). Notice it also says "we will not all sleep" (die) "but we will all be changed..." Changed into what? That which is imperishable (vs. 50). His lack of faith in the clear teaching of the Bible is alarming, and alarmingly close to what the Jehovah's Witnesses teach; that the bad people will be taken leaving the good people behind. May I remind you the "rapture" has already happened twice in the Bible - Enoch and Elijah. Neither saw death. (Hebrews 11:5)
Sorry, this man needs to study more.

@McKeel-wc3mf You can give me the verses. I havent seen any yet and never had anyone give me any, Yes your right they do havbe to be read in context and very carefully. Please give me your rapture into the heavens verses.
@@TRUTHINCHRIST-cw8ke This guy missed the mark in many ways. All this video did is confirm for me that the rapture is indeed in the Bible. He ended by mentioning I Corinthians 15, but just he chastised people for earlier, took only a piece of the passage. The context of this chapter is the changing of the perishable (the flesh) with the imperishable (spiritual bodies). "50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed- 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality." Somehow, this perishable flesh will be changed "in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet." This is not talking about a few people who survive welcoming Jesus in the flesh. It is a "mysterious" event (vs.51). Notice it also says "we will not all sleep" (die) "but we will all be changed..." Changed into what? That which is imperishable (vs. 50). His lack of faith in the clear teaching of the Bible is alarming, and alarmingly close to what the Jehovah's Witnesses teach; that the bad people will be taken leaving the good people behind. May I remind you the "rapture" has already happened twice in the Bible - Enoch and Elijah. Neither saw death. (Hebrews 11:5)
Sorry, this man needs to study more.
@@TRUTHINCHRIST-cw8ke I think you know, but you disagree, so have at it & explain *WHY* this isn't speaking of the tribulation period, and *WHY* you think it doesn't point to the fact that the church will be kept from it.
Yes the Latin word Rapture does not appear in the Bible, but the Greek word, Harpazo does, which means a fierce catching away.
What is his real motivation for confusing scripture. Paul taught the doctrine of the harpazo in the first weeks of establishing the the church at Thessonalika.
That Luke 17 passage was pretty damning. I'm surprised he didn't use the "First Resurrection" passage that Irvin Baxter used to use.
When I was a teenager in the 90s, I had been led to believe that premillennial dispensationalism wasn't some modern invention - it was just what the Bible said! I watched the news for signs that Jesus was going to take me away at any moment. My girlfriend (now wife) and I considered that we might not want to have children, because the tribulation was definitely going to happen soon and we didn't want them to be left behind.
Then I actually read the Bible for myself.
One of the key points here is understanding that the people being "taken away" - whether by flood waters, by Roman authorities in 70 AD, or by God in judgment - are not the fortunate ones.
Also, thank you for pointing out that the promise of our resurrection isn't some spiritual life in a far off, cloudy place where we sit around playing harps. The promise of Christ is a creation made new - a physical existence finally free of death and decay.
Thanks for this, Skye. I've been writing a "The Bible Doesn't Say That" series of scripts for CZcams, and this was definitely going to be one of them.
Cool! Do one on "eternal conscious torment" too, please!
@@axeldaxelMVMYes!!!
I'm older than you but I only knew pre tribulation rapture in the nineties until 99 when I read the Bible. Actually I was 18 in 92. So we are close to the same age.
Its NOT in revelation? LETS SEE.. Revelation 7: 9-16 " After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
“Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”
13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes-who are they, and where did they come from?”
14 I answered, “Sir, you know.”
And he said, “These are they who have COME OUT of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore,
“they are before the throne of God
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne
will shelter them with his presence.
16 ‘Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,’[a]
nor any scorching heat. "
Revelation 14 "Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. 3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been REDEEMED FROM THE EARTH. 4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. 5 No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless."
Theres more but they are easy to assume that its referring to those who already are in heaven and been there for time.
@@vladgor4099 “come out” = made it through.
“Redeemed from the earth” = as in, human beings - Christians - not angels or beasts.
I’ve scarcely seen so much scripture scraped so thin and read so wrong.
I appreciate the spirit which the video takes. I'm not a big fan of Christians beating each other up. I would like you to consider a few things. The words used in 1 Thes 4:17 are "catching away", to describe the event; "harpazo" in greek, "rapere" in latin. This is where we get the "rapture" nickname. Calling it the "catching away", doesn't stick as well, I guess. Secondly, if the passage is about "Jesus returning to rule the earth", why does Paul introduce the topic earlier in the book by saying, "They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead - Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath," 1 Thes 1:9b-10?
I don't know why we do this. Well what you did here and I did and others.. as if he does not know this already? Yeah this sits alone has been making videos for 9+ years so this it not new. To say in 2024 Rapture is not in the bible duh we all it refers to Caught up. Its so misleading and then look at what it has done. Caused more division.
It's not beating up on each other when other Christians quote scripture to defend the faith. If Paul was here, he would be all over the comment section and Jude would agree with him. "You should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." Jude 3 RC
Why is the Greek harpazo not enough? Why do you want to go into LATIN? (Catholic and referring to their 'mary') .
@@time_2_get_ready it's funny but true - but it is also sad. The reason for using Greek and Latin here is because brothers and sisters in Christ do not receive the English as authoritive enough to convince them that there is a rapture and not everyone in the church will be caught up not because they are not Christian but simply because they do not believe Jesus will come to save them from the wrath of God and the wrath of the lamb.
The coming wrath we are rescued from is the return of Christ. He returns to judge and wage war in a flaming fire on the unbelievers, and those who did not obey him, the tribulation is judgment for sin. Yes, Jesus died to forgive us for our sins, but we were never exempt from the consequences of sin.
33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. (Many are seeking a pre rapture to save their life)
Thank you for sharing
The ppl., in the flood were destroyed ,Not raptured ! The Rapture was not for that time ! That was not the end time ! Two different times two different events !
Did you listen to the whole thing? It seems you missed the solid arguments.
There is only one time of resurrection where both the Holy and the wicked will be resurrected. 1 Thess 5 also refers to "coming in the clouds" as his "return". If a rapture is a "return", then we are looking for a second AND a third coming. Get it?
@@danielbu2611where is “his third coming” in the bible. That thess verse is about the last trumpet, all who have died in Jesus will be raised first. The reason why it says we shall be taken into the clouds is because earth will pass away when judgement is here
@@SaliasGaga Matt 24 is the most thorough telling of the return of Jesus, the second coming. Jesus said he would only return once to establish his kingdom. In Matt 24, he mentions clouds, the sky, a trumpet, a call of the archangel, a sign, and perhaps more I can't recall right now. EVERY "rapture" support passage mentions one of these events or the word "return".
1 Thess 4 and 5 are no different. He talks about meeting Jesus in the clouds using the Greek word used for going out to meet conquering leaders, then continues specifically mentioning it as Jesus' RETURN. Ignore that the number 5 starts a new chapter and realize that 1 Thess is a letter meant to be read continuously. chapter 5 is continuing what is said at the end of chapter 4.
Therefore, if "coming in the clouds" refers to his return, then it is referring to the 2nd FINAL coming. Otherwise, a rapture would be a second coming (because it is referred to as a return) and Jesus' final coming would be a THIRD return.
Does that make sense?
In the end, it doesn't really matter. "Rapture or not" is one of the most useless debates in the church.
Yes there is no rapture.
But..........
Thessalonians is talking about the day of the Lord when fire comes out of the sky and God melts the planet with a fervent beat.
People who are saved will be called away but this is after Jesus returns at the end of his 1,000 year reign on earth.
The 1,000 years begins at the end of the tribulation.
There are two resurrections of the dead .
The first when Jesus returns at the end of the tribulation , these dead are only the martyrs who died for Christ because of their faith.
The second is at the end of the 1,000 year reign.
Jesus comes back at the end of the tribulation not the beginning.
There is no rapture.
You have to read mid way through Revelation 19 when Jesus returns and the first 6 verses of Revelation 20 which spell's out the chronological return of Jesus .
All other verses about His return have to work with these verses in Revelation.
Different events? a true christian ever read the bible in context? No but they act and judge like they did and why more Harvard students I am finding are becoming instant atheist after reading in context. What they show me is very upsetting being a believer of a Scam I hope Not. A-MEN
Rapture or no Rapture. Be ready for Christ. Walking with Jesus(while you are alive here on earth) is our FIRST priority.😅
Jesus takes care of his people regardless.🥰🥰
His people are only in His church, where A Cappella singing is commanded.
(EPHESIANS 5:19;
COLOSSIANS 3:16).
Jesus Christ is not the God of manmade doctrines, “He’s only the God of the New Testament church.” (ACTS 4:12)
God did not create denominations, and denominations are not going to heaven!
I agree with you... rapture...no rapture...pre trib...post trib...no trib..... whatever God has that in control don't worry about it.. Jesus is more concerned about the salvation of our souls...the minute you die its over for you
@@user-oq6sl2pk6y ,
Your fate is sealed when you die.
In Matthew 24:40-41.. How do we know what is "taken" and what is "left". Noah's family was taken on the arc, and left after the flood. Everyone else was left behind and taken by flood. Why is one interpretation more sound than the other? And ultimately, does that matter? The verse describes the dichotomy of outcomes. In Luke 17, once again, how are you sure that the "where" is "where are the left" vs "where are they taken"?
Great video but id like to add a couple things since we are clearing up falsehoods.
1. The messiahs name is not jesus but Yahusha.
2. God and lord are titles not names. In fact lord translates to baal in Hebrew and we know baal is satan so we shouldn't be referring to the Father or Messiah by that title.
3. As he stated in the video it is the wicked who were taken from the earth.. To expand on that in Matthew 13:24-30 in the parable of the wheat and tares, it is the tares that are gathered up by the reapers and burned and the wheat remains..The tares symbolizes the wicked and the wheat the righteous..
Praise Yahuah
May YAHUAH BLESS you saying "TRUTH!"
Actually his name is Yud Shin Wav Ayin....no vowels
Philippians 2:5-11 (Authorized 1611 King James Holy Bible - old English). JESUS is his name, above all names.
@@lisalord5501 Is the Messiah an English man or a Hebrew man? We're his earthly parents English or Hebrew? Answer = Hebrew. So we simply know his name is not jesus.
Truth spoken! I found an end-time channel you may be interested in 'follow the lamb today', they speak the true Hebrew names!
Many years ago I suddenly realized that instead of forcing doctrine to conform to Scripture I was forcing Scripture to conform to doctrine. Shortly after I then left behind the cult of pre-tribism and have never looked back. Allowing Scripture to say what it means allows the Holy Spirit to unlock its Truth.
As for me, its as you ssid. Now I know, we will have to go through the great tribulation. In tears of relief, I now know the Truth.
Pretty insulting to refer to a large part of believers who believe in pre-trib as a "cult". I often see a lack of humility and grace from the other side. I listen to lots of pre tribulation teachers who display a lot more kindness to the other side.
@analyticalhabitrails9857 Amen my friend. 🙏
@YeshuaIsMyKing79823 Speak truth and do NOT be ashamed. Pre-tribism is a CULTIC teaching and must be exposed for the LIE that it is. A lie is not from God. And if not from God, them from who does it originate? Think about it.
Without a rapture,and it must be Pre trib,you have some major contradictions in scripture.Now lets get something straight. This guys claims dispensationalist don't teach out of Matt.24,or Luke 17,21. Thats not true,not at all. Jack Van Impe and Chuck Missler did. Many others have.Should I give him the benefit of the doubt that he's unaware, or is he purposely trying to mislead people? Here's my teaching,as I studied under these guys,and others,and I am a Premillenial Dispensationalist.
In Luke 17, 35,36,"One is taken (not killed). In the original Greek, from para lambano, to receive from,. The other left,from apo hiemi, left alone,sent away. Also not necessarily killed. One is received,or taken,one is left behind. In verse 37, the word "vulture" is mistranslated in the original manuscript.The Greek word is aeotos,which is clearly "eagles" ,not vultures. This verse is still a mystery,what does it mean? Because Eagles do not gather around dead bodies,eagles eat live prey. And the people of Jesus day,which was an agrarian society,knew this. It was purposely mistranslated because apparently the translators knew that only vultures gather around dead bodies. But it's there in Luke 17amd Matt.24,purposely written down as Eagles,not vultures. But here's the thing you missed. Luke 17:37,The apostles ask "where" when Jesus says they were taken,received. Where were they taken? Jesus doesn't answer that. But those who say taken means killed,they're wrong. The apostles wouldn't ask 'where"if they understood it was killed.
Now here's my apologetic for a Pretrib rapture. Jesus taught He could return at any time. This is called the doctrine of imminency. Jesus and the apostles wrote about this many times. But in a post rib view,there is no imminency. Why,because the number of days is specifically mentioned in Daniel12:
11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.This is confirmed in Rev.13:5. Now,Jesus directly referred to the "abomination"in Daniel. There is no Jesus can return at any time,so we have to keep watch and be ready,in post trib. All we have to do is wait for the Antichrist to enter the temple and perpetrate the abomination,and the countdown begins. 1335 days when the "abomination"takes place,and the daily sacrifices are abolished,and the Messiah,who is Jesus,returns to set up His kingdom reign. There's no arguing this,it right there plain as day. Jesus directly quoted this verse in Daniel 12. Do you think the Jews didn't know this prophecy? Well the Pharisees surely did. So why would Jesus teach that He could come at any time? Why should we "be sober and alert,keeping watch over the signs of His coming,please tell me?
2. Jesus taught His return will be just BEFORE, the judgment of the world, like in "the days of Noah",where people were living their lives,"business as usual",making plans for dinner,to get married,and see their children marry,etc.And they were completely unaware that judgment was upon them. So,here's a scriptural contradiction,Rev.6:12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the [h]moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky [i]receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
See that? These people ARE aware that God's judgment is upon them,and they're terrified! And this is just the beginning of the tribulation period. Jesus taught He would return just BEFORE the judgments begin, this has to be pretrib.
Matt.24:38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Verse 40,this is the rapture. They're taken (away),not killed. It's very clear,they're not killed,they're taken.And the other was left.
It's absurd to believe that people will be eating and drinking (eating and drinking what? With all the famines,plagues, earthquakes,1/3 of all the green grass burned away,1/3 of the ocean dies,even if there is food in certain areas,1/3 pf all the ships destroyed.And this in just one of the trumpet judgments!) making plans to get married,and see their children grow up and marry?! People living their lives,business as usual,during the tribulation? No way!
One last thing.The Rapture is NOT Jesus returning to set up His kingdom. That does happen at the end of the tribulation period,ok? The rapture is US,the Church, being taken away into the cloud to be with Jesus. And then,the wedding feast of the lamb will begin,while the tribulation begins on Earth.And,further confirmation of this is in Matt.25,the parable of the bridesmaids. Remember,the ones who ran out of oil were left out of the wedding feast? The wedding feast will be celebrated when the church,the bride,is raptured.
Here's the last thing, in post trib,what event signifies the tribulation has begun? Give me an answer. In pretrib,it's the rapture that begins the tribulation period. And the rapture itself,IS a judgment being pronounced upon the world.
Now did the apostles know what the church was when Jesus taught "Upon this rock I shall build my church,and the gate of hell shall never prevail against it"? No! They didn't know what the church was. That word ecclesia meant "called out ones". Who was that? Did they know the church would be mostly gentiles,under a new covenant,that would abolish the old covenant? No. Not for decades. Only Paul had the "mystery"of the church and the rapture revealed to him.Thirty plus years later. Only the writer of Hebrews knew there was going to be a new covenant,that would abolish the old covenant. Because the new covenant was for gentiles,the church. So,in the Olivet discourse,in three of the gospels, when Jesus taught about His returning,they,and everyone listening to Jesus,who knew the prophets, had no clue about the rapture.Because they didn't have a clue about what the church was! They only knew the Day Of the Lord,which comes at the end of the tribulation. Everyone who followed Jesus was looking for the Messiah to come and set up His kingdom reign. Now look up Revelation 13,5-8. There's another contradiction,one that breaks the promise Jesus made about the church. The Antichrist is given power and authority to conquer,or destroy,the "saints",for 1290 days (Daniel 12 again). Did Jesus teach "the gates of hell shall never prevail ...oh,but only until the Antichrist is revealed. Then the church will be destroyed. No Jesus made a promise to us,the church.
These 'saints",or holy people in the Greek,are not the church,in the chapters of judgment in Revelation. And in part, they must be the 144 thousand Jews, from the 12 tribes of Israel.
Last thing. In over thirty years I have debated Post trib believers. Not one has been able to explain or refute the argument I put for,or the scriptures I've referenced.Jesus commanded,not suggested,that we keep watch over the signs,because we don't know when He could return. Be the first Post tribber to answer this. Why should we? Daniel 12,which Jesus quoted directly in Matt.24pecifically states that the Messiah,Jesus,will come,1335 days,after the "abomination"and the daily sacrifices are ceased. Jesus cannot come at any time! Why should we watch over the sings then? I bet you won't answer this.
Another consideration is, what will happen to people’s faith who based their beliefs on the expectation that they would not have to endure any serious persecution?
Jesus comment that “because of the increase in wickedness the love of most will grow cold” (Matt 24)was in context of being asked about his return. If you are counting on being raptured before things get too tough how will your faith hold up under extreme persecution? Shouldn’t our goal to be one who has a faith strong enough to be one of those who “overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”?? Rev 12:11
Look around you ....right now the world is crazy enough to test faith and draw you closer to God
The book of Matthew was written for Jews and the bulk of Israel will go into the tribulation. Unfortunately, two thirds of Israel will be killed during the tribulation. The remaining third will turn to Christ and be saved and go on to rule with Christ during the millennian reign.
@hscollier Who said we're not going to endure serious persecution before the rapture. Have you studied the Olivet discourse in Matt.24? Jesus prophesied we would be persecuted,it's one of the signs. Are you aware of the statistics showing that more Christians are and have been persecuted in the last fifteen years,than in any other time in church history! How many have been killed in Africa ,India,and the middle east? Some were martyred,some were tortured,other's managed to escape as refugees,having to leave behind everything they own. How did their faith hold up?
This is the message I'm posting everywhere I'm able to. A message,call it prophetic if you want,but this is what has shown me.
Why did the apostles fall asleep in the garden? How could they allow that to happen? Jesus woke them up.And they went back to sleep?!!!! What?j Jesus had been telling them He was at the end of His ministry. He had been preparing them to carry it on for the last three years. Was he ever wrong? Never! And the apostles knew it. Why did they fall asleep? Do you ever see the apostles directly ignore an instruction Jesus gave them?
Study the events just hours earlier and notice. At least John and Peter knew that Judas was going to betray Jesus.
So,when Jesus woke up John and Peter,why didn't they notice that Judas had never returned?
Now,look at what happened when the rude awakening came upon all of them. They were all overcome by fear. Peter takes up his sword,and tries to kill the guard coming at him. And denied knowing Jesus later. Jesus warned him,stay up and pray or you'll be overcome by temptation. And then all the apostles deserted Jesus and hid themselves away.
Now Jesus commanded us to keep watch over the signs of His coming. It wasn't a suggestion!! And they're happening like never before! ALL of the are! (Jason A youtube channel is documenting them.) So we should be paying attention to what Jesus prophesied in Matt.24 and realize how close we are to His coming.
Take note,Matt.25,which is post text to the Olivet discourse,the parable of the ten bridesmaids.
5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they ALL became drowsy and FELL ASLEEP.It's not just some ran out of oil. If just one had stayed awake,she could have warned the others,before it was too late.See that? Were any of them truly wise? There's a rude awakening coming to America. And we,you,need to warn those Christians who are asleep! Those who don't want to believe what Jesus taught,so they're ignoring the signs.
ALL the signs are happening right now. Volcanoes and earthquakes erupting all over,breaking records. Hurricanes,floods,crop failure,gov't mandated destruction! (millions of chickens ordered destroyed because of one case of avian bird flu!),insect plagues,famines,the greatest persecution of Christians in church history, wars and rumors of wars.
The truth is,America is under judgment. God has removed His protection and power from us as a nation. Our enemies have infiltrated our gov't and pull the strings of the presidency,the Whitehouse,and many federal agencies (The deep state"). You and I,and every taxpayer owes nearly $100,000.00 because of the national debt! Think we can pay this off? Well it's not going away! And now,the president is adding more than another trillion dollars to this debt! get it?The millions of illegals that have been let into our country,who is going to pay for them? Everybody,non Christian, economic and financial experts are warning of this collapse in the U.S. and the great reset coming/ You know this. And the newly formed global economic system is already emerging. This IS the "beast"system of Rev.13 and 17.How hard would it to stage a false flag terror attack now,since thousands more terrorist have been allowed into our country?
The apostles ignored Jesus prophecies because they just didn't want to believe it was all going to happen now.And they paid a price for not staying awake and praying when Jesus instructed them to. They were overcome by their fears. They blew their testimony.They ran away and deserted Jesus,and hid themselves away! And Christians are repeating this right now! Much of the church is asleep,just like Jesus taught. They're hoping trump will come back and everything will go back to being great again. That's not going to happen. This country is on the verge of collapse right now.And many Christians are falling away,just like Paul taught in 2Thess.

Most Americans are ignorant of the continuation of government protocols,executive orders,which under a national economic emergency,the president,who's now the Commander in Chief,along with the dept, secretaries,have the authority to seize every citizens personal property and assets,to pay off our national debt!Everybody,non Christian, economic and financial experts are warning of this collapse in the U.S. and the great reset coming. Everyone awake knows this. And this global economic system,in planning for decades, is now emerging. This IS the "beast"system of Rev.13 and 17 in the bible.Which paves the way for the Antichrist to take over and rule.
So hard would it to stage a false flag terror attack now,since thousands more terrorist have been allowed into our country? When martial law is declared you can be sure chaos and fear will spread like a wildfire across our nation. Now you say "if it happens"? IF? It's all been planned!!! Wake up. Why do you think millions are stocking up on food and supplies,and buy guns and ammo,in record numbers! Here;s a fact.America is not mentioned in bible prophecy. Many other countries are but we're not. Why do you think that is? Now ALL the signs Jesus warned about are happening like I've never seen before.And I've been studying bible prophecy for forty years now. Christians are having dreams and visions about the coming fall of America. Not just a few,but many are. So be wise and start praying,and preparing,because it's coming soon.

And denied knowing Jesus later. Jesus warned him,stay up and pray or you'll be overcome by temptation. And then all the apostles deserted Jesus and hid themselves away.
Now Jesus commanded us to keep watch over the signs of His coming. It wasn't a suggestion!! And they're happening like never before! ALL of the are! (Jason A youtube channel is documenting them.) So we should be paying attention to what Jesus prophesied in Matt.24 and realize how close we are to His coming.
Take note,Matt.25,which is post text to the Olivet discourse,the parable of the ten bridesmaids.
5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they ALL became drowsy and FELL ASLEEP.It's not just some ran out of oil. If just one had stayed awake,she could have warned the others,before it was too late.See that? Were any of them truly wise? There's a rude awakening coming to America. And we,you,need to warn those Christians who are asleep! Those who don't want to believe what Jesus taught,so they're ignoring the signs.
ALL the signs are happening right now. Volcanoes and earthquakes erupting all over,breaking records. Hurricanes,floods,crop failure,gov't mandated destruction! (millions of chickens ordered destroyed because of one case of avian bird flu!),insect plagues,famines,the greatest persecution of Christians in church history, wars and rumors of wars.
The truth is,America is under judgment. God has removed His protection and power from us as a nation. Our enemies have infiltrated our gov't and pull the strings of the presidency,the Whitehouse,and many federal agencies (The deep state"). You and I,and every taxpayer owes nearly $100,000.00 because of the national debt! Think we can pay this off? Well it's not going away! And now,the president is adding more than another trillion dollars to this debt! get it?The millions of illegals that have been let into our country,who is going to pay for them? Everybody,non Christian, economic and financial experts are warning of this collapse in the U.S. and the great reset coming/ You know this. And the newly formed global economic system is already emerging. This IS the "beast"system of Rev.13 and 17.How hard would it to stage a false flag terror attack now,since thousands more terrorist have been allowed into our country?
The apostles ignored Jesus prophecies because they just didn't want to believe it was all going to happen now.And they paid a price for not staying awake and praying when Jesus instructed them to. They were overcome by their fears. They blew their testimony.They ran away and deserted Jesus,and hid themselves away! And Christians are repeating this right now! Much of the church is asleep,just like Jesus taught. They're hoping trump will come back and everything will go back to being great again. That's not going to happen. This country is on the verge of collapse right now.And many Christians are falling away,just like Paul taught in 2Thess.

When martial law is declared you can be sure chaos and fear will spread like a wildfire across our nation. Now you say "if it happens"? IF? It's all been planned!!! Wake up. Why do you think millions are stocking up on food and supplies,and buy guns and ammo,in record numbers! Here;s a fact.America is not mentioned in bible prophecy. Many other countries are but we're not. Why do you think that is? Now ALL the signs Jesus warned about are happening like I've never seen before.And I've been studying bible prophecy for forty years now. Christians are having dreams and visions about the coming fall of America. Not just a few,but many are. So be wise and start praying,and preparing,because it's coming soon.
@hscollier
Who said we're not going to endure serious persecution before the rapture. Have you studied the Olivet discourse in Matt.24? Jesus prophesied we would be persecuted,it's one of the signs. Are you aware of the statistics showing that more Christians are and have been persecuted in the last fifteen years,than in any other time in church history! How many have been killed in Africa ,India,and the middle east? Some were martyred,some were tortured,other's managed to escape as refugees,having to leave behind everything they own. How did their faith hold up? This is the message I'm posting everywhere I'm able to. A message,call it prophetic if you want,but this is what has shown me.
Why did the apostles fall asleep in the garden? How could they allow that to happen? Jesus woke them up.And they went back to sleep?!!!! What?j Jesus had been telling them He was at the end of His ministry. He had been preparing them to carry it on for the last three years. Was he ever wrong? Never! And the apostles knew it. Why did they fall asleep? Do you ever see the apostles directly ignore an instruction Jesus gave them? Study the events just hours earlier and notice. At least John and Peter knew that Judas was going to betray Jesus. So,when Jesus woke up John and Peter,why didn't they notice that Judas had never returned? Now,look at what happened when the rude awakening came upon all of them. They were all overcome by fear. Peter takes up his sword,and tries to kill the guard coming at him. And denied knowing Jesus later. Jesus warned him,stay up and pray or you'll be overcome by temptation. And then all the apostles deserted Jesus and hid themselves away.

He's correct, pre rapture is not in the Bible..No where does Christ say He comes and removes believers before the tribulation...
Thanks for this
Thessalonians doesn't sound like a quiet coming to me. Every eye will see him. The Lord cannot come twice.
I believe that person means twice in the end times@@williamtodd2485
This video only begins to unpack. Revelations has to be read in context and a couple of verses elsewhere assume the *modern* ideas of inerrancy and literalism, more are not early or otherwise historic ideas.
Allegory and parables are also lost on people out of context.
He even gives it in this video..
though it still is doing all of the above- so much more learning and unpacking to do. Even Jews see the OT differently and some are still trying to learn the intent to be consistent.
Even beyond that, it’s important to understand that allegories in the Old Testament are not what we think.
Even extreme groups about the rapture don’t see most of the verses that are used as talking about it. Only see 1 Thessalonians he cited as supporting it. I’m sure people vary because the ones who were most intense about it before the last 7-8 years or so focused so much on staying in each book of the Torah for a year or two at a time and talking about it literally or whatever they came up with outside of Jewish understanding of underling meanings.
Good times.
Even Left Behind books- the author prefaces in first pages that it’s a work of fiction and isn’t necessarily supporting anything in the Bible.
This is still incredibly literal, out of context. Revelations is about Roman Empires persecution and the Jews and early Christians, and Paul or whomever wrote Thessalonians and others has a range of conflicting ideas, including thinking Jesus was coming back soon, at least when taking consistently literal. It’s important to not just believe what people tell you that you should or must believe.
These are the major points I bring up,that not one Post Trib beliver,could,or would,refute,or answer my questions. Not one in over 35 years of doing apologetics. So if you can show me how these verses don't contradict a Post trib rapture,please do so. Because every Post trib believer I've encountered, can't refute my interpretation of these verses,or would answer any questions I raised. On social media,they just ignore me.
Jesus taught He could come at any time so we,the church,should be sober and alert,keeping watch over the signs that He taught in the gospels. This is the doctrine of imminency. And the apostles also taught this in the epistles. Matt.24:43,1 Thess.5:2, 2 Peter 3:10. Jesus can come like "a thief in the night". Jesus also commanded us to keep watch over all the signs of His coming in Matt.24. It wasn't a suggestion,it is an instruction. It wasn't just to know when the "season"was upon us,and who "the generation" that sees "ALL these things" ,will be. Matt.25,the parables being taught,are post text to Matt.24.
WHY should we watch over the signs of His coming? If already KNOW from scripture, when that time is,with certainty,WHY keep watch? In a post rib view,there is no imminency. Why,because the number of days is specifically mentioned in Daniel12: 11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.This is confirmed in Rev.13:5. Now,Jesus directly referred to the "abomination"in Daniel. There is no Jesus can return at any time,so we have to keep watch and be ready,in post trib. All we have to do is wait for the Antichrist to enter the temple and perpetrate the abomination,and the countdown begins. 1335 days when the "abomination"takes place,and the daily sacrifices are abolished,and the Messiah,who is Jesus,returns to set up His kingdom reign. There's no arguing this,it's right there plain as day. Jesus directly quoted this verse in Daniel 12. Do you think the Jews didn't know this prophecy? The Jews surely did,why would Jesus quote Daniel 12 if they didn't?. So WHY would Jesus teach that He could come at any time? Why should we "be sober and alert,keeping watch over the signs of His coming,please tell me?
Now Luke 17:35 makes sense,get it. You can see why the apostles ask Jesus "where" are they taken! According to what the Jews knew from O.T. prophecy,the Messiah wasn't supposed to go anywhere.He was supposed to destroy Israel's enemies and set up God's kingdom rule and reign.This is "the Day Of The Lord',that all Jews in Jesus time were already aware of,prophesied many times. The Day Of The Lord is described in these prophecies,and Jesus does mention them in the Olivet discourse,in Matt 24:29-31. But there it is,Jesus quoted Daniel 12,and 1335 days after the "abomination of desolation, Jesus will return. Why watch for it? How can He come when nobody knows?
Point 2,Jesus taught this in Matt.24:Matt.24:38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, SO ALSO WILL THE COMING of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Verse 40,this is the rapture. They're taken (away),not killed. This prophecy was not fulfilled in 70 A.D. when Titus destroyed the temple. In Luke 17, 35,36,"One is taken (not killed). In the original Greek, from para lambano, to receive from,. The other left,from apo hiemi, left alone,sent away. Also not necessarily killed. One is received,or taken,one is left behind. But here's the thing you missed.Luke 17:37,The apostles ask "WHERE" when Jesus says they were taken,or received(unto someone). WHERE were they taken? Jesus doesn't answer that. But those who say taken means killed,they're wrong. The apostles wouldn't ask 'where"if they understood it was killed.
So,here's another scriptural contradiction,Rev.6:12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky [i]receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, ]the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” See that? These people ARE aware that God's judgment is upon them,and they're terrified! And this is just the beginning of the tribulation period. Jesus taught He would return just BEFORE the judgment comes, and this has to be PRE Trib.
It's absurd to believe that people will be eating and drinking (eating and drinking what? With all the famines,plagues, earthquakes,1/3 of all the green grass burned away,1/3 of the ocean dies,even if there is food in certain areas,1/3 pf all the ships destroyed.And this in just one of the trumpet judgments!) making plans to get married,and see their children grow up and marry?! People living their lives,business as usual,during the tribulation? No way! Matt.25:“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they ALL became drowsy and FELL ASLEEP. At What time?! The time just before the rapture! You really believe the church will fall asleep during the tribulation? In Rev.13,the Antichrist is killing Christian all over the world. But the church falls asleep!!!? These saints are not the church. In part,they are the 144000 from the 12 tribes of Israel. And didn't Jesus promise the gates of hell will never prevail against the church. He didn't say up until the tribulation,then the Antichrist will destroy the church.
'“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.' - John 14:1-6 NKJV
Thankful we both believe in the Bible! But this doesn't prove anything.
@@superjonboy873 it proves that Jesus went to prepare a place in heaven where the mansion is. Where does the father abide?
Not to burst any bubbles, but the original text of John 14:2 is: πατρός οἰκίᾳ πολλαί εἰ πορεύομαι ἑτοιμάσαι τόπον
DIRECT translation: "a father a dwelling much an abode/to abide to go to prepare a place"
So, "In my Father's house" was ADDED BY TRANSLATORS, as was "if it were not so, I would have told you" - besides, that makes NO sense!!), and the ending "for you" was added.
Let's look at the antiquated KJV (hideously, the most popular): "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Or, what do YOU think it means?: a father a dwelling much an abode to go to prepare a place"
I think it means "there will be an obvious and public arrival - with a loud announcement. We will then meet our Creator in the air (the lower parts of the sky)" Call me crazy, but I don't WANT to live in a "streets of gold" "city". I like Earth, and I hope it is here, in a 22 degrees (72 F) place - with running water, and fields. ANYway... v 3:
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
ἔρχομαι πάλιν παραλήμψομαι ἐμαυτόν ὅπου εἰμὶ καὶ
Literally: "to prepare a place to come/go back/again of myself where I exist and also"
"there you may be" was added, as well as [a place] "for you" It was just "a place". The last part "even also" was not "there you may be" [also].
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know."
ὁδόν ὅπου ὑπάγω
Literally: "a way/road where to lead or bring/to depart"
So, "And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know" - was grossly misinterpreted by KJ - how do you get that from "a way/road where to lead or bring/depart"
Just sayin' 🙂
@@santa_claus-north_pole so where is the celebrations of the wedding of the groom according to the parable of the 10 virgins, heaven or earth. Revelations 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
" that where I am, there you may be also". And WHERE will Christ be? My bible says He will be ON EARTH ruling from Jerusalem! (Zach 14)
Why after revelation 3 is the church never talked about? Because the church is no longer here
Having grown up southern baptist, I was blown away when I started talking to christians of other denominations and realized that the rapture wasn't taken as a "given" by everybody. I had assumed it was a mainstream, baseline bit of theology. But then I started wondering, after I started reading about the doctrine itself: If the "rapture" as it's taught in modern fundamentalism is true, why is it such a relatively new doctrine, dating back only to about the 1800's? If the rapture is, indeed, a "thing" why did it take Christianity nearly two thousand years to notice it?
Rapture theory has exsisted since Paul the Apostle but went undergroud during the dark ages of the Catholic Church. It returned after people were free from Catholic Domination. People were free to see scripture for themselves and study documents from the period detailing a rescue or Rapture event that today we can cofidently call the Rapture of the Church. It was there from the infancy of the new testament.
because it's IN THE BIBLE
Thats a myth that post tribbers keep claiming. Actually,it a lie. And if they keep spreading this lie, without doing the research,it clearly demonstrates their lack of integrity and honesty!
The Apocalypse of Elijah
This third-century text exists in two versions, one Coptic, another Greek. It is written from a premillennial perspective and contains extensive detailed material on the tribulation period. After discussing the emergence of the Antichrist onto the world’s stage (ch. 3) and the arrival of the two witnesses to oppose him (ch. 4), the document describes the Rapture as Christ’s deliverance of His people to preserve them from wrath (ch. 5). The pertinent passage reads:
On that day the Christ will pity those who are His own. And He will send from heaven his sixty-four thousand angels, each of whom has six wings. The sound will move heaven and earth when they give praise and glorify. Now those upon whose forehead the name of Christ is written and upon whose hand is the seal both the small and the great, will be taken up upon their wings and lifted up before his wrath. Then Gabriel and Uriel will become a pillar of light leading them into the holy land. It will be granted to them to eat from the tree of life. They will wear white garments and angels will watch over them. They will not thirst, nor will the son of lawlessness be able to prevail over them (Apocalypse of Elijah 5:1-6).
This text clearly depicts the Rapture as an event that will remove Christians from earth to Heaven before the outbreak of the Antichrist’s persecution. In this way, they will be shielded in Heaven from his cruel deeds.
In his article “The Rapture in the Apocalypse of Elijah,” Gumerlock notes that this apocalypse states the Rapture’s purpose as the removal of God’s people from wrath. He argues that that period of wrath should be understood as the tribulation period, since “the sinners left behind on earth cry: ‘See, now we will die in a famine and tribulation [Apocalypse of Elijah 5:12].’” If his interpretation is accurate, then this text is clearly teaching a pretribulational Rapture.
The Apocalypse of Pseudo-Ephraem
Also known as “On the Last Times, the Antichrist, and the End of the World” or “Sermon on the End of the World,” this text survives in two somewhat varied versions, one Syriac, another Latin. The Latin version contains a pretribulational statement:
We ought to understand thoroughly, therefore, my brothers, what is imminent or overhanging. . . . Why therefore we do not reject every care of earthly actions and prepare ourselves for the meeting of the Lord Jesus Christ, so that He may draw us from the confusion, which overwhelms all the world. . . . For all the saints and elect of God are gathered together before the tribulation, which is to come, and are taken to the Lord, in order that they may not see at any time the confusion which overwhelms the world because of our sins.
The material that follows clearly equates this tribulation with the period of the Antichrist’s dominance over the earth as foretold in the books of Daniel and Revelation. One area of disagreement between this document and modern pretribulationism is that Pseudo-Ephraem thought the Tribulation would be just three and a half years in length, not seven. Nevertheless, his view is still clearly pretribulational in sum and substance. In their article “The Rapture and an Early Medieval Citation,” Demy and Ice conclude, “Although the sermon has some ambiguities, it, like pretribulationism, clearly emphasizes imminence, two comings separated by the tribulation, and the promise of deliverance of believers from the tribulation.”
Some critics will counter by questioning the reliability of these two sources. After all, we don’t know exactly when or where they were written, or even who their authors were! But this objection misses the point entirely. Pretribulationists do not appeal to these two sources as authoritative sources for theology, but only to demonstrate the falsity of their critics’ accusation that pretribulationism is a recent invention. So the origin and authoritativeness of these documents are utterly irrelevant to the discussion at hand; all that matters for the present purpose is that they are demonstrably Christian documents from the ancient and medieval periods that clearly teach a form of pretribulationism.
The History of Brother Dolcino
Brother Dolcino was the leader of the 14th-century movement known as the Apostolic Brethren. While none of his writings on this subject have survived, an anonymous Latin document written in 1316 records firsthand information on the life and teachings of Brother Dolcino. This document contains yet another statement of early pretribulationism:
Again [Dolcino believed and preached and taught] that within those three years Dolcino himself and his followers will preach the coming of the Antichrist. And that the Antichrist was coming into this world within the bounds of the said three and a half years; and after he had come, then he [Dolcino] and his followers would be transferred into Paradise, in which are Enoch and Elijah. And in this way they will be preserved unharmed from the persecution of Antichrist. And that then Enoch and Elijah themselves would descend on the earth for the purpose of preaching [against] the Antichrist. Then they would be killed by him or by his servants, and thus Antichrist would reign for a long time. But when Antichrist is dead, Dolcino himself, who then would be the holy pope, and his preserved followers, will descend on the earth, and will preach the right faith of Christ to all, and will convert those who will be living then to the true faith of Jesus Christ.
Once again, the end times chronology presented in this text is quite clear: first the Antichrist is revealed, then the Rapture occurs, then an extended period of tribulation grips the earth, then the church returns to earth with Christ at His second coming. In his article “A Rapture Citation in the Fourteenth Century,” Gumerlock rightly concludes:
This paragraph from The History of Brother Dolcino indicates that in northern Italy in the early fourteenth century a teaching very similar to pretribulationism was being preached. . . . While not suggesting that pretribulationism was the dominant view of the rapture in the Middle Ages, it is likely that such teaching did not occur in a vacuum and that others besides Dolcino were aware of it. It can reasonably be assumed that the Apostolic Brethren (who numbered in the thousands) believed, as did their leader, that when the Antichrist would arrive, they would be transferred to paradise and be preserved there from his persecution in the tribulation
@@RichardSmith-dj2th Former independent Baptist myself. The rapture was invented by John Nelson Darby along with many false teaching. He taught unsaved Jews are still God's chosen people, but the scriptures teach the polar opposite, he falsely taught a 1000 year reign of Christ on earth nowhere taught in the new testament, Jesus said he would lose nothing but raise them up on the last day, last day means there are no more days after the second coming.
Christ's reign is forever and His kingdom shall have no end!
CH Spurgeon rejected Rapture theology and a literal 1000 year reign and he was considered to be the greatest Baptist preacher ever.
Rare for anyone to be able to read back then. Then to have the resources. And the Time. There is a Rapture.
Matthew 12:40 KJV - For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Thank you brother, Truth, Jesus. Love in Christ Ken.
Now let's see, the bible is supposedly the word of God and the authors were inspired by God to write the truth, Well God didn't do a very good job of proof reading because there are a lot of outright lies and stories that just don't stack up.
For example, Samson was bound by ropes and as he was delivered to the Philistines he broke his bonds and grabbed a piece of bone using it as a weapon, he then set about slaughtering 1000 armed and trained Philistine soldiers by himself, this is incredible because even if he was super strong and he killed two or three it would be possible, but to believe that he was surrounded by 1000 armed men and he killed them all is just a blatant lie, maybe God helped him and if that was the case why didn't God just kill them himself and spare Samson the trouble? but apparently God didn't intervene just as he's not going to intervene if you are ever in trouble.
The jaw bone of an ass that Samson used as a weapon would have been worn out and broken after the first 100 kills and Samson would have looked like a porcupine covered with spears and arrows, how long did it take him to finish the battle? killing 1000 soldiers must have taken a long time, possibly weeks of constant battle without a rest. This old time Superman story might have been believed by people living in the dark ages but it stretches credulity to the limit today.
The story of Samson is a lie, just as the story of Jonah is a lie, he supposedly lived inside a fish for three days before being vomited up on the shore, the only fish large enough to swallow a man whole is a whale and if that happened he would have been drowned in the whales stomach almost immediately, After three days the whale swam to the shore to deposit Jonah on dry land, very convenient. If it had ejected him in deep water he would have been fish food, Oh well, blind faith covers everything.
Now let's get to Noah, if there was torrential rain for forty days and nights the sea levels around the world would hardly rise at all (Google-Physics 333 Noah’s flood) hardly enough to get the Ark afloat and there would still be plenty of dry land, The Ark floated around for the best part of a year yet there was enough food aboard to feed 500,000 animals, the animals traveled back to their own countries after the cruise finished, the story of Noah is another lie.
Now let's talk about Moses, NO let's not talk about him because his stories are more incredible and unbelievable, The tower of Babel NO, Sodom and Gomorrah NO, Jesus feeding the multitude with a handful of fish and twelve loaves of bread NO, walking on water etc. etc. NO, we should leave these fanciful stories to your common sense, Gee I'm asking a lot to expect common sense from Christians.

I believe what Skye means to say is there’s no such thing as a pre-tribulation rapture. The catching away is biblical and the word in 1 Thes 4 for that catching away in Latin is “rapturo”. The Greek is harpazo. In other words Skye does believe in the catching away which is the rapture. It’s just not pre-trib.
it would have been paramount for the video to have included this.
But it's not called the rapture, it's called the gathering of the saints, and it happens *after* the Tribulation, NOT before. See Matthew 24:29-31 and Revelation 7.
The tribulation is for those who rejected Jesus it is not for His bride .
As Jesus told us in Matthew 24:29-31, Mark 13, and Luke 21.
where does the Bible say that? @@SusanRichardsDay
The Rapture is NOT IN THE BIBLE. The Catching Away is, that is referring to the word Rapture.
One taken the other left is a reference to Titus destruction of Jerusalem in AD70
Purely semantics.
Rapture theology was fabricated by a false teacher by the name of John Nelson Darby in the mid nineteenth century, there is not a book chapter or verse in the New testament that teaches a rapture. Rapture theology reverses the order found in 2 Thessalonians that the dead in Christ must be raised first.
John Nelson Darby also falsely taught that the unsaved Jews are still God's people, that is a complete load of nonsense, furthermore the New testament nowhere teaches that Israel would become a nation again! In fact Christ cursed the fig tree and said that it would never beat fruit again, the fig tree was an illustration of Israel. Jesus himself in Luke's gospel said that the kingdom would be taken away from the Jews and given to another nation that would bear fruit! Neither is there a 1000 year earthly reign of Christ, this is yet another false teaching invented by John Nelson Darby!! Nowhere taught in the New testament. Not in any book chapter or verse in the new testament. Jesus himself clearly stated that His kingdom is not of this Earth! Jesus himself clearly stated that he would lose nothing but raise them up on the last day and since we know from Christ himself and the apostle Paul that the earth is destroyed at the second coming it is indeed the last day, no more days and certainly no 1000 years! The absurdity of John Nelson Darby's heretical teaching is obvious
Thank you for sharing this excellent video. You said it better, and more concisely, than I could.
We need to be _very_ careful of accepting any so-called "truths" not mention in the Bible.
I know several people (including retired pastors) who are rapture obsessed, and it causes them anxiety, stress, worry, and so forth. The opposite of what Jesus offers us!
I've been working off and on for months on my own video touching (in part) on this subject. I'll link to your video when I upload mine, which focuses more on the occultic roots of dispensationalism.
Not a salvation issue. The LORD doesn't want us to have a spirit of fear. We need to stay strong in Jesus Christ.
I wish we’d all been reading (contextually).
Nice
Wish I could "like" this more than once!
we will explain it on the way up
BLESS YOU HEART. pray for wisdom and UNDERSTANDING.
if you are going on a boat trip and you miss the boat..you just got left behind
Yeah I really thought that line of logic was completely backwards.
If there was a flood and you were swept away to oblivion, you were "taken". That is what Jesus is saying. Also, Jesus is talking about the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 in that passage, not his Second Coming or the end times.
You left out that the original word that “caught up” is translated from is harpazo in the Greek which means to snatch or a Takeaway. It is then translated into the Greek as rapturo…… rapture
He Missed Lots Of Things, but to defeat the Rapture correctly he will have to spend more then 12 minutes on it & hopefully hours of Prayer, & if he does that then GOD Will Reveal Truth & then face embarrassment of not knowing it.
Stay In PRAYER 🙏
Thanks!

Great explanation. Thanks for this.
The 1st 2 generations of Desciples from the apostles wrote about the rapture.. isn’t the rapture the same as the resurrection? Do you not believe in the resurrection? What happens to the people who have not died when the resurrection takes place?
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
There is literally nothing in that passage that says Enoch was raptured. Reading your belief into the text won't make it true. Romans shows Paul saying that EVERYBODY from Adam to Moses died. That includes Enoch.
There is no such thing about people being left behind. Jesus will come back and get his people and everybody will see him. The people who hate jesus will ask the rocks to fall on them. Everybody will know.
Matthew 24:30-31 King James Version
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 King James Version
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Luke 17:34-37 King James Version
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

Since I've only heard Americans talk about the rapture, does that mean only Americans will be raptured? 🤔🥺🙏🇸🇪
You better start believing it’s real remember during Noah’s day’s people didn’t believe in rain or a flood until it was too late
@@terranceburgess9170 This is not causative*..
Yes, it is true that the word “Rapture” does not occur in the Bible. The term comes from a Latin word meaning “a carrying off, a transport, or a snatching away.” However, the concept of the “carrying off” or the rapture of the church is clearly taught in Scripture.
The rapture of the church is the event in which God “snatches away” all believers from the earth in order to make way for His righteous judgment to be poured out on the earth during the tribulation period. The rapture is described primarily in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50-54. God will resurrect all believers who have died, give them glorified bodies, and take them from the earth, along with all living believers, who will also be given glorified bodies at that time. “For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be CAUGHT UP together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever” (First Thessalonians 4:16-17).
The rapture will involve an instantaneous transformation of our bodies to fit us for eternity. “We know that when he [Christ] appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2). The rapture is to be distinguished from the second coming. At the rapture, the Lord comes “in the clouds” to meet us “in the air” (1 Thessalonians 4:17). At the second coming, the Lord descends all the way to the earth to stand on the Mount of Olives, resulting in a great earthquake followed by a defeat of God’s enemies (Zechariah 14:3-4).
The doctrine of the rapture was not taught in the Old Testament, which is why Paul calls it a “mystery” now revealed: “Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-in a flash ( moment), in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52).
The rapture of the church is a glorious event we should all be longing for. We will finally be free from sin. We will be in God’s presence forever. There is far too much debate over the meaning and scope of the rapture. This is not God’s intent. Rather, the rapture should be a COMFORTING DOCTRINE FULL OF HOPE; God wants us to “encourage each other with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:18).
Excellent explanation, straight out of the Bible.
Wow❤ I didn’t know to much about it but your description makes a lot of more sense that what this video was presented. When I was following exactly the same verse that you were mentioning and comparing both concepts. I get convinced that the rapture is real even when the word “rapture” isn’t in the Bible. Because the word used in the translation means exactly the same word that “rapture” is.
@@jonathanmicday1620 The explanation in the video is a exponentially more direct and simple. The mental gymnastic required in that word salad above does nothing to disprove the video, which is absolutely clear and decisive. The entire last paragraph is a personal opinion--of which there is zero in the video.
We are in the Lord's presence now and we are free from sin now if we are born again.

The word (rapture) is not in the bible, but the word ( caught up ) is, and it's under Greek g726 as ( harpazo) which is Latin.
Paul as an example in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 and elsewhere.
Yes
So what is it the good people stay on earth in Matthew 24 or are they caught up in 1 Thessalonians ? Or could this be two different groups of people at two different times?
I agree the rapture is in the Bible
@@barryseal4853 To the best of my understanding, they that have the Spirit of Jesus are all caught up or raptured, so then, there will be none left behind to experience the Judgements of God or the great tribulation.

for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

To say there is no rapture is to ignore Scripture. 1 Thes 4:13-18; 1 Cor 15:51,52; 1 Thes 1:10; Rev 3:10; Joh 14:2,3
The point is how it is describe and taught. Paul does not teach a rapture to escape The Trib for 7 years or 3.5 years only for Jesus to make a U-turn and then return again. Nonsense!

As a Christian, I never knew about a rapture. We were taught that when Jesus comes down to earth, He will judge who are the righteous and who are not.
That judgment will be at the end of the tribulation - the sheep and goat Judgment.
Are you not still a Christian. Christians start out as baby Christins, but they should grow as they read and study the Word. The Spirit of God is the real teacher. We can learn from good Bible teachers, but we should diligently check the scriptures to be sure they are correct.
From what I understand, that's Jesus's second coming.

No Noah and his family are the one's who got lifted off the earth to be protected
Nope, Noah and family stayed on the earth, first in the ark and then on land. Israel was in Egypt when the plagues hit but they were protected while yet still on the earth.
@bobrolls3800 Protected Where ? And by who? From who? & why? In God's home, protected By Jesus, the Blood of the Lamb, Jesus applied to the doors and windows, separated from Egypt, just as the family of God Will be Separated from the world, in God's home, protected by the Lamb . Because of God's grace. , in Noah's case, he & his family and the good of the world, ie the animals, were Protected from God's Wrath and Protected from The evile that God destroyed. By lifting all of them Up in God's Home, why Gods home? Noah was sacrificing to God and concentrated the Ark, this is where boat makers bless the boats the make by prayer and a sacrifice of wine ie braking of the bottle on the boat , separating them from the evil world , prayer is Spirit and wine is Jesus.
People have already covered the Scripture for the rapture. To me, knowing God’s character, His love of the church, and how He rescues His people, it seems that the rapture is indicative and in alignment with Who He is. Also, Scripture backs it up as others have written here.
However, those of you who want to go through the tribulation, have at it. 😊
The important thing is to know Christ and be ready.
Yes! it's true that the WORD Rapture isn't in the Bible. However in 1 Thessalonians chapter vs 13-18 it speaks of the catching away which in the greek is pronounced harpodzo when translated to english is pronounced Rapture.
So what
@@mikepiccolo32 So, denying the theology of the rapture simply because the word is not present would be like denying the "trinity" simply because that word is not used. The teaching is there and the word used is a helpful handle.

As someone who's listen and read the whole bible well over 50 times I agree with this, it can go a bit further but great video.
Read it again. This guy missed the mark in many ways. All this video did is confirm for me that the rapture is indeed in the Bible. He ended by mentioning I Corinthians 15, but just he chastised people for earlier, took only a piece of the passage. The context of this chapter is the changing of the perishable (the flesh) with the imperishable (spiritual bodies). "50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed- 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality." Somehow, this perishable flesh will be changed "in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet." This is not talking about a few people who survive welcoming Jesus in the flesh. It is a "mysterious" event (vs.51). Notice it also says "we will not all sleep" (die) "but we will all be changed..." Changed into what? That which is imperishable (vs. 50). His lack of faith in the clear teaching of the Bible is alarming, and alarmingly close to what the Jehovah's Witnesses teach; that the bad people will be taken leaving the good people behind. May I remind you the "rapture" has already happened twice in the Bible - Enoch and Elijah. Neither saw death. (Hebrews 11:5)
Sorry, this man needs to study more.

@@happyappy19931 Absolutely critical.
This actually happened to me already.. Jesus came to me after a voice yelled out to me " He can hear us!" then Jesus came down from Heaven and I met him six years ago almost now. Lately I have had the feeling of being lifted up off the ground. I get very afraid when I feel this and start shrinking back down and start praying intensely to Jesus to please leave me and let me live out the rest of my life on the earth.. as He said a man's life will be 80 years. Not a gift all seem to receive but I certainly believe if I ask for that I will get it. Something is absolutely going on and I wonder since I have seen Jesus already maybe He is telling me i am one of those who remains for im still alive to meet him in the air... pray for me for this to be revealed. Jesus is Lord and God has raised Him from the dead.
Be sure it is Jesus whom you met and not the deceiver who disguises himself as an angel of light (II Corinthians 11:14). Many people have had NDE who were deceived with messages which directly contradict Scripture. You want us to pray for the truth to be revealed to you. Simple. Read the Bible and it will teach you.
@@bobrolls3800 thanks for the kind words.. Jesus has confirmed Himself in me as scriptures tells us. "For He that believes in me , as it is written, will be River of livings water flowing from his belly" I have these waters and He allows me to feel them often. Confirming I am sealed with the Holy Spirit. Also when you meet Jesus there is no doubt in your mind he says "Just as lightning shines from east to west so will the coming of the son of man be" just like we know exactly what lightning looks like when it cracks across the sky and there is no doubt because when know it well.. the same is for when you meet Jesus. God has ways to speak to your very existence that says "no more trials my child, it is I your God Jesus Christ" He proved himself in many other ways.. also as the word says to try every spirit "that every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ is Cone in the flesh is a spirit of God" Ive tried Him and every spirit I meet with this and follow as it is written. He hasn't contradicted any scriptures in my experience but Confirmed the scriptures BIG TIME! Praise God for that. I have to deal with the enemy from time to time but then again so did pretty much every biblical person ever haha and certainly Jesus had is fate share of dealings with the enemy. I can say with certainty, I have met The risen Lord Jesus Christ with my own to eyes I have seen Him in many ways in that day and since that day. He is risen. I am absolutely Sola Scriptura.. man shall not live off bread alone but on every words that proceeds out of the mouth of God. He and His word is our eternal and unchanging truth 🙌✝️ amen

Don't get tripped up by the imperfection of Christians. Everything prophesied is happening now. Antichrist will come next, then Jesus will return. Don't blow eternity, my friend. Come to Jesus.
