Israel, Magog, and the Rapture (With Greg Laurie)

- We’re all aware of what’s happening over in the Ukraine right now. They’re under attack from Russia, and people have asked the question, “Is there any significance to all of this prophetically?” Let me pull the camera back and say this: I believe we’re living in the last days. I believe Christ could come back at any moment.
There are signs of the times the Bible tells us to be looking for. And in fact, Jesus likened it to labor pains in a woman who’s ready to give birth, the idea being the closer they get together, the closer you are to the birth. And as we see more signs-more things happening-they’re reminding us Christ is coming back again. Let’s go to Matthew 24.
What did Jesus say? “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars” (Matthew 24:6 NKJV). So this is war at a scale we have not seen in a long time. But let me look at another thing in Matthew 24. It talks about plagues being around us in the last days (Matthew 24:7). If the coronavirus is not a plague, I don’t know what it is. It’s a global plague.
Also, I would add that the Bible warns of a world leader that will come and dominate and deceive people but ultimately reveal his true colors. And he’s called the Antichrist. I believe a lot of this government overreach, imposing themselves on their people, is a sign of what is going to come later when Antichrist emerges on the scene.
Russia in Bible Prophecy
But let’s come to the situation in the Ukraine. Many Bible scholars believe in the Ezekiel 38, as it speaks of Magog attacking Israel, that that is modern day Russia. I could go and talk about that for, you know, 30 minutes, why they believe that’s true. I happen to agree with them, but it says in Ezekiel that the Jewish people will be scattered and regathered in their land again.
We know, during World War II and after the Holocaust, Jewish people from around the planet began to return to their land. And Israel officially became a nation on May 14, 1948. So that part of their prophecy has been fulfilled. But then scripture says a nation from the extreme north of Israel will march on her called Gog and Magog.
If you look on any map, you’ll see that is the geographical area of Russia. Ukraine used to be a part of the Russian Empire. They broke off in 1991. Are they going to be part of Russia again? Could be. But the one thing that I think of is that when I see the aggression of Russia or Magog, if you will, it’s a reminder that that’s what we’re going to see when Magog attacks Israel.
What Should We Do?
So Jesus said, “When you see these things begin to happen, freak out!”
No, he didn’t say that. He said, “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28 NKJV). Here’s the bottom line and takeaway truth: Bible prophecies are being fulfilled in our lifetime. It seems like we’re seeing more things happen in real time, closer together, as the Scripture said they would be.
What should we do? We should look up, and we should remember that God is in control. And we’ve read the last page of the Bible, the last page of Revelation, and we win in the end.
Let me also add this: Let’s all be praying for the people of the Ukraine. They’re going through a time of great suffering right now. Pray for them. Pray that God gives to our leaders wisdom as they’re making very important decisions in the days ahead.
Essentials: What Every Christian Needs to Know :: Ezekiel 37
My son was taken from this world, he was murdered in the Parkland Florida school shooting he was shielding students with his body. And God allowed me a visitation Aaron had already gotten his new body. Aaron walked over to me and kissed me on my cheek and I could feel the kiss. This is a testimony I will continue to share God is good, God is real. I know I will see my wonderful son again in heaven.
Stephanie, my wife and I lost our little girl, she reminds me that we share a common experience together, as my daughter worships our Lord in heaven we too can worship Him here and now, something we can still all do together.
My wife had a similar experience of connection with our daughter in a dream. She felt that she had the opportunity to hug our little girl tell her how much she was still loved. She said that Ginnie (our daughter) said she knew that we loved her but the whole time Ginnie kept looking to get back to Jesus. It seems that we cannot comprehend how amazingly wonderful it is to be with Him. To be absent from this body means we are immediately with our Heavenly Father and Jesus.
Amen

GOD Blessed UR soul In JesUS Name Amen...obedience and great selfless ❤ bring Blessings
Amen
I came back to the Lord last week after 7 years of backsliding and I keep hearing “We don’t have time”, “There isn’t much time left”. I’m a completely different person and I can’t stop thinking about Jesus. We need to be ready.
Amen. God bless you.
Hallelujah!! Welcome Back! Congratulations!
Were three dimensional beings god is not. Time is not the same to him. The time is now
Hallelujah 🙌🏻 ❤ welcome back !
The Truth was haunting you. God and his mercy love gently drew you back to him.
Wow….!!! Incredible. 13 years old. That it was an hour old for more then half of this sermon. It’s 10/13/23…..God help us……
🙌✝️
What Greg is preaching was written a very long time ago. Like, 2,000 some years ago. Let that sink in.
It’s October 13. Hamas attacked Israel 6 days ago.. the worst attack on Israel in 50 years.. this message is spot on, thank you Lord for giving me the chance to hear this! I am a pastor’s son who was struggling on the walking with the Lord part… that blessed my heart! Psalms 121:4 Jesus Messiah!
Walter, I pray for you in Jesus name!! God is obviously dealing with you. If He had to come back and die again just for you, He would do it. That’s how much He loves you!! Please consider completely surrendering to Him and be ready at ALL times as we aren’t promised tomorrow.
Its pretty incredible isnt it? Praise God! Maranatha!🩷✝️🙏
@@Geraldinecomingtoyoulive With all do respect Jesus died once for our sins. He will not come again for that. He will go after the sheep but, It is us that must come back to him and follow him again.
The walk is not easy. I'm glad you realized that. I repented and try not to make excuses. These are the very things that gives us the permission to not trust God, who is always good in leading us in His righteous ways. He makes us stronger but, it is a very difficult to walk in His ways. I still have to deal with things but when I admitted I was wrong to make excuses for my behavor the love I felt of embrace was awesome. Keep on working on it. I like to recite psalms 25
@@kcallaghan7839 the Bible clearly says He will come and every one will see Him and every knee will surely bow to Him sir
Thank you and have a blessed day
For the time we have left I will still continue to try to bring my family to Jesus without pushing them. But, the best I can do is to constantly pray for them & ask God to soften their hearts of stone & give them a new heart of the flesh❣🙏
You have to let God do what you want for your family. I would constantly pray and leave it in God’s hand .
I tried what you thought was right and my family left so all you can do is plant the seed and God will do the rest .
Amen ❤ my family too. Especially my oldest and his girlfriend. 🙏🙏🙏
God Bless You. Pray every day for your friends and loved ones; then prepare yourself when the right time comes to help open their door, to our Lord's amazing grace. I, too, share the burden of my family and friends... they may know of Jesus, and believe in Him... but do not know Him - they have not opened there hearts and let Him in.
Dear Lord Jesus hear our prayers for our loved ones. and help keep us always prepared to help open their door to accept You and Your amazing grace whenever the opportunity comes. In Your loving name I pray... Amen God.
@@sonnyguerra9428Plant the seed, pray and ask others join in the prayers, then God will nourish. Praying 🙏 with you. STAT
This brought tears to my eyes as my son died at 7 months old in 1987. God allowed me to see him in heaven and I know it's real and I will see him again.
A friend of mine saw her baby (who was miscarried) when she had a cardiac arrest. She's ok now but she was in between realms when she clearly saw her baby boy.
Only God can heal this type of pain
12 years later, and this sermon from Pastor Laurie is very relevant with what's going on with Russia. The signs keep coming and our Lord and Savior Yeshua's return is drawing ever so near.
Was thinking the same thing. God bless you. See you about the clouds.
Yep.... it's only a matter of time. My parents asked me if I knew of a fallout shelter in case we get bombed (they are worried about nuclear or biological war on American soil) I told them no but it wouldn't matter anyways. Jesus tells us to flee to the mountains and not to look back. He is the ONLY way any would survive that type of attack. Funny thing is, I'm not worried. I have a sense of peace that I know comes from God Almighty. I look forward to meeting you in Heaven if not on Earth! May God watch over you and yours!
Will, don’t you find it strange that 12 years ago when Greg Laurie preached this message, the same thing was uttered by Christians about sermons from 10 years before them? Just asking how this message is relevant at all today?
He may already be with many, waiting to be discovered
@@tional5266 He is with ALL true believers but He has not returned to this earth. According to scripture, no one will know the hour or day and He will come like a thief in the night.
Pastor Greg 13 yrs latter I’m watching this & it come to pass. Now there is a war now. Praying 🙏🏼 for peace.
13years later and this sermon sounds like it could’ve been preached yesterday. It’s all unraveling
Right?! Come soon, Lord Jesus! We look forward to seeing our Savior!
I know!! I had to have a look at how recent this was! God is so good!!
Salvation ended in 2011 woe #1
Come Lord Jesus Christ Come!🙏
@@liliruiz6750 the second coming of Christ in spring 2024
Every time I hear about the rapture, in a sermon message, I get a smile on my face.🧑🏻
Such a wonderful message, I needed to hear this today. Lord bless all of those here today watching.
Read chapter 20 book of revelation. It specifically says when gog and Magog will happen. And it’s definitely not now.
It is so beautiful to see so many people find their way back to our Lord God it makes my soul rejoice Thank you Jesus for your love and grace🙏🏼✝️
Watching this on 14th October, 2023. Half-way through the video and only just realized it isn't a new upload! Wow! 🙏
Wow! 14 years ago, look how much closer we are today. It's amazing, and it's happening soon!
Still watching in 2022 and we are closer than ever to seeing Jesus’s return for his Bride🙏🏽
Watching thus today more eerie given the Ukraine Russian war right
Bride is rejoice on standards on in trust! Endeavours on trust is rejoice! Standards on you in endeavours!
Ukraine was rejoice!
The second coming of Christ is in 2025 woe #2 the 6th trumpet 🎺
14 years later! the October 7, 2023 offensive by Hamas against Israel and the resulting world events have made this more applicable than any other events of my 62 years! Awaiting His return! See you on the other side!
May the Lord will bless you Pastor Greg most large ministries shy away from the book of Revelation and the End times, you are preparing your congregation for what MUST come!!
And in the den of Southern California! 🙏❤️🙏 hallelujah!
The scene is being set right now…Come quickly, Lord Jesus❤️🙏❤️🙌
Jesus is the devil
You’ve been deceived
Repent accept jahovah and do good works
Come Jesus come!
18 days tell the second coming of Christ and only the wise will understand perfectly
I was raised a catholic but I got saved in a Baptist church and am so happy that I did praise the Lord
God bless u
I.m glad also.
05/23
I too was raised as a Catholic, then at age 25 I was saved by a Baptist Minister when he shared the gospel with me. I never knew that a personal relationship with Jesus was needed or even possible until the day I was born again! I later found my way to a Pentecostal Church where the Holy Spirit was freely working, ministering to people and was so clearly present during worship. I love a good worship service where the Holy Spirit is allowed to lead the worship portion of the service. May God bless those of you who read these comments!
How did you get saved just asking ?
Amen. I was also raised catholic. I was saved in a nondenominational church
12 years later and these things are unfolding right before our eyes.
God bless you for this sermon.
All these things will come to pass.
Be not deceived. God is not mocked, for what so ever a man sows that shall he also reap. Jesus ,we will give an acount to him.
This message is from 11 years ago but relevant for the days that are approaching.
We need to wake up from our slumber.
IT was like this sermon was delivered yesterday. With Russia signing pacts with Iran and Turkey last month and Israel pre-emptively attacking Iran daily...a full out confrontation may be days away...how surreal this is going to happen ANY time now
Be of good cheer beloved. Our Abba Father neither sleeps 😴 nor slumbers. We are Royal heirs to an eternal kingdom of our coming 👑 of kings and Lord of Lords JESUS CHRIST, which is the millennium reign.
Yippee 🎉 Maranatha 🙏 🎶 in the Holy spirit or Holy ghost power. ✌️🕊️
This happening right now, right before our eyes! Be ready family!

It's why I'm sharing the date with weak believers, to show it's accuracy.

Praise God for your word. Thank you God for blessing me to listen to this sermon 13 years later. Thank you Lord for your comfort and your protection for Israel and for America. Amen
I can't believe this was from 10 years ago... more relevant than ever!!
Although we should be cautioned that the end may not come for thousands of years still. Yet, we must be ready for it to happen tomorrow.

Erdoğan asked Russia to attack Israel.
Russia is still calling for peace...
Amen!
I agree the time is coming faster then we thought. I know that I am ready and pray that others see this and that if they are not sure about there belief they better make a decision before it is to late. Jesus is our Lord and Savior.
Brilliant! Our God reigns. How wonderful His Ways to warn us through Prophecy. Thank you ❤
I have been listening for the sound of trumpets and the powerful voice of Jesus from time to time to call me home. I believe this sound and his voice will come from within us, because the Holy trinity lives inside of us.
What is happening right now! Glory to God! Hallelujah!
Amen, Pastor Laurie. My hearts cry is, Get Ready......
It’s been 10 years and we can see this fulfill right now!!!

I am listening to this 14 later since Pastor Greg posted this , amazing!
Wow what a powerful message. This is even more relevant today then when it was taped.
These days are near……..All glory to Christ!
The first time that I listened to Pastor Greg, I was amazed at how much he knows about prophecy. I hope to hear about him a lot more! The world can learn so much from him !!!
My Pastor, Brett Meador at Athey Creek Christian Fellowship (look them up on YT), is cut from the exact same cloth. We are in Ezekiel right now, and it's just AMAZING the similarities...
Amen. All glory be to God, I praise you for your mercy and grace, thank you Jesus for your sacrifice on the cross, and thank you Holy Spirit for your direction and correction.
10+ years ago but prophecy is being fulfilled and the clock is still ticking ! 2022
Thanks PAstor Greg. God’s word was true over two thousand years ago and I still true today. Thankyou for being used by God to proclaim His word in this day and time. I look so forward to His coming
Thanks for watching...please reach out 👆🏻
I just want to be able to see my mom face to face her sober and able to recognize her son, i lost her to cancer
So sorry🕊♥️🕊
Prayers for peace for you and family.
I lost my mom to cancer at the age of 10
I long to see her again...a great day that will be...amen
Who is here in 10/2023
Amazing how preaching the word is simply true. This is 13 years ago. Wow from 2023.
Pastor Greg did this sermon over ten years ago... It is still very timely... I love how he explains it is Jesus plus nothing to be saved... so many think we can "lose" our salvation...

God was waiting for me...I'm almost 60 and barely reading and understanding the Bible🙏
13 years later I am still watching and waiting for Jesus ; maranatha Lord, maranatha!
My mother was a christain and she took me and my little sister to lots and lots of church and on that day my strength is failing as the end draws near when my time has come my soul will sing praise unto the Lord just like that song by Matt Redman. And I believe I will meet my beloved mother at heaven's gate. My mother went back with the Lord in 2016, she walked with Jesus many years. Thank You Jesus that I believe in in Your Salvation Amen 🙏
Pastor Greg Laurie is always straightforward in his bible teaching. A trustworthy servant.
I love his uplifting sermons Linda, and he does read from the Bible... Scripture Check easy
Amen
Liar. There is no rapture
The Truth Never Told is right. Greg says 28:00 that the antichrist comes after this event. Thats incorrect. Paul explicitly says in 2 Thessalonians 2 that the rebellion and the revealing of the man of lawlessness will come prior to this "coming of the Lord and our gathering together to meet Him."
@@DanielEBurnetteNo…2 Thessalonians deals with the Second Coming. This is a wholly separate event from The Rapture, which is a common misunderstanding in interpreting scripture. Rapture is when Jesus comes for his Believers, and the Second Coming is when Jesus returns to Earth with Believers to rule for 1000 years (Millennium in eschatology). Rapture occurs first, and the Second Coming will occur after the 7 year rule of the Antichrist.
The Lord spoke to me today about who was behind these recent attacks…Wow!!!
A revival is coming!
13 years later here we go it’s happening
Almost 11 years ago and even more relevant today! Thank you Pastor Greg for this!
That's some good preaching right there !! Praise Jesus!! From Sallisaw, Oklahoma!! Praise God!!
This is more relevant today than ever.
Praise the Lord, Maranatha.
Having a clear and wider view of the word of God now and the prophecies.
Really amazing
Pastor Greg Laurie I thank for being focus on the GOSPEL & taking care of JESUS 🐑 has he ask Peter, pastor Greg I visit the church with my husband I was over whelned not by you but in the word you spoken , Pastor when I watch you on line I watch you ! Gvg the gospel according to GOD well Thank you . One thing I love is watchg your sermon bcz it's not focus on who's at church , but focus on what we are to be focus on and that's the the true GOSPEL of GOD amen 🙏
More relevant today than ever. This was 14 years ago! Incredible.
The Lord our God is coming back!! Let’s all be ready as what Greg is saying 13 years ago is as it was given yesterday!
2023 getting closer ever day
Praying for Israel 14 day of October 2023.
I don't whant to die ,Iwhant to be raptured in 2020 Halleluija !!! ot later but I would like ((love )) to live it Praise Jésus i am french Canadian from Quebec
So much has happened in the world as of today 4/27/2020. God is doing what he has always been doing...calling the lost unto Him before he comes. Maranatha!

Such a loving LORD GOD
Exactly what’s unfolding now!
Yes! As sad as it is, the Lord is almost here!
Besides current events in Israel, just look at what the french president Emmanuel Macron is doing in trying to make peace treaty after peace treaty in the middle east. I know the AC won't reveal himself till after the rapture, but he's a greay candidate. I feel in my spirit it could literally happen any second.
See you in heaven with the Lord soon!
Yes as march 1st
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ who is merciful and slow to anger. I pray that even in my brokenness He uses me to bring another soul to salvation.
I’d love for you to revisit this sermon soon Preacher! I thoroughly enjoy it!
Thank you Pastor Greg. I really enjoyed your teaching session. I was particularly excited to hear the section on the Rapture. The Lord had been impressing on my spirit to teach on the Rapture. I read the scripture's account and listened to many teachings on the subject but you really did it for me.
I will make sure to credit you in my teaching where necessary.
Thank you for your amazing grasp of the subject.
You are in my prayers.

When You See the signs. Now parallel with Matthew, Mark, and Revelation 6
@Melanin Warrior I believe what you're saying about false teachers but this man is not a false teacher I think you're being a little too critical of him just like I know a lot of people criticize Perry Stone when he brings up the word rapture cuz it's not in the Bible and people love to point that out to him.I see a lot of people doing that with good people that I respect hell if you listen to all the people that criticize these good pastors nobody would come to Christ and they will look at us like a bunch of fools,you Christians don't know what the heck y'all believe y'all criticize each other so much, yes I believe you should take this very serious and see if they have the spirit of Christ living in them. But just because he said about going to heaven and not meeting the Lord in the air I don't find that that is a salvation issue, I mean man we can get so critical of different people and what I mean by that I'm not saying like Joel Osteen love everybody love love love, just love everybody to hell,like I said earlier there is churches out there that you can be gay you can be a drunk you can be anything cuz they'll just say God loves you no matter what, so yeah take it serious but to hang on every little thing that someone says and I know what you going to say well it's important if you going to preach the word and you have to make sure every word you say is correct as so much I can say to this but when I mean is like people say things like the Bible is not in the Bible or the word rapture is not in the Bible but you know what it means that's all I'm trying to say
Chris C this man is telling the truth. I think he is more of an authority on the Bible and the truth of it than you are. There are many people who really do care about the truth and see the Bible the way he does. I get your point about Sodom and Gomorrah. God is not petty and homosexuality is not the unforgivable sin. At Sodom and Gomorrah, at Lot’s house, the good citizens attempted to gang rape two strangers who were guests in Lot’s house. When Lot refused to hand over his guests, the good citizens of Sodom threatened to do worse to him. That is extreme violence and evidently it was not the first time that kind of thing had occurred. The men in Lot’s house were really angels, and they had come to warn Lot to get out of the town before it was destroyed. They supernaturally blinded the men outside so that they couldn’t find the door anymore. The ruins of those cities are heaps of ash around the Dead Sea. In amongst the ash are balls of sulphur. Ron Wyatt discovered the ruins of the cities of the plain were hidden in plain sight. You can find him on CZcams talking about it and demonstrating the incendiary qualities of the sulphur.
Chris C I would like to know the Bible scripture to back up your beliefs?
Chris C no rapture?
Thanks pastor Laurie,God bless you and the family of Christ in the world, USA and israel.❤😂
The Lord put on my heart recently that an increasing number of demons now walk the earth. A lot of it has to do with the tv shows and movies we watch that exploit the paranormal. I believe that choosing to watch these shows is like an invitation to the demons to enter into your domain
KATHLEEN MACDONALD I agree, it seems like it’s all up to God where He literally saves us out of all this techno mess, it is not by our strength but by His Grace 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
KATHLEEN MACDONALD ~ I agree 100%!
i can,t stand some of the stuff thats on tv
@JudahBenLevi what He put on my heart was just a wake-up call that more and more demons are filling the earth. I am not saying He is ready to come but I just like to see the signs of the getting darker so I can keep my eyes on the prize. Even though you are not Chrisrian there is a video by David Wilkerson from 1974 where he describes the last days according to dream the Lord gave him. 46 years ago the world was a vastly different place. He prophesied realitis that are normal to us today but was unheard of in 1974.
I think so as well. There are way more out there
To those with vision let them see. To all that have ears, hear. Jesus is coming back soon!
Amen, Marantha!!
I am ready to leave this wicked world !...
Dreaming of seeing my son again... how blessed I would be if the rapture is at hand
Well, you're gonna see your boy again soon because our Lord is gonna call us home soon! I can hardly wait to see my dad again! This world tries to chip away at our faith, but we will not fall for it! We have the ultimate hope. The return of the King is at hand! I'm gonna pray for you right now. If you read this, would you say a prayer for me? Praise Jesus.

@@AndySalinger33 we stay right here . Jesus brings down the new heaven down to earth.
Matthew 24:29-30 King James Version (KJV)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
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.
@@gregtowle8830 I could argue with you about the Rapture for hours. I could quote a lot of scripture to back up my beliefs. Then you'd quote scripture seemingly backing up your form beliefs. But frankly I'm exhausted. I'm tired of debating it. I've heard all the arguments. I've made all the counter-arguments. I will say that you've managed to miss the overarching theme of my message to the initial poster. It was one of support and hope. Then you came in with your noise. I guess you should be preparing for the Tribulation now. I'm not gonna bother.
This is SOMETHING you will not want to miss...it's crucial and the consequences are dire...Blessings!
loving the promise thank you Jesus and thank you Greg .
Excellent sermon thank u!!!! I miss my two brothers and my Dad❤️

It's 2021 and I came back to this video to see what the Ezekiel prophecy is about. We are even closer now. I mean second away. I will be shocked if we're still here in 3years time.
(2 Corinthians 4:18) "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
Thanks Pastor for all you do. Clear message.
2020 Still patiently waiting for our Savior. ❤

Hawaii..that island off new Zealand..the peace deal Trump is trying to pull off..the tornado in Nashville ...the virus wrecking havoc in not just China but in Italy Iran ..etc and in every country except Antarctic a..these are just the beginnings..
WHEN IS THE RAPTURE / RESURRECTION?
In Revelation 20:4-6 the last book of the Bible there are only 2 more FUTURE Resurrections (Raptures) spoken of: (after the 2 witnesses appear)
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the FIRST RESURRECTION. or rapture
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the FIRST RESURRECTION: on such the SECOND DEATH hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
In the above scriptures, these are the Martyrs. John said "this is the first resurrection." John didn't say this is the "second phase of the first resurrection," as pre-tribbers claim.
If this is the FIRST resurrection, can there be a resurrection before this one? Of course not, unless you want to ADD to the bible which is forbidden!
The First Resurrection is of the dead in Christ and the Second is after 1000 years. Paul wrote that the Dead in Christ MUST rise FIRST, THEN we who are alive and remain will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
16 ...and the dead in Christ shall RISE FIRST
17 THEN we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them...
In Rev. 20:4-5, John sees the souls of Saints who were BEHEADED for refusing the Mark of the Antichrist during the Great Tribulation. John writes that they will rise and reign with Christ for 1000 years and that this is the FIRST RESURRECTION!
If according to John, the beheaded rise in the FIRST resurrection and Paul said those who are alive and remain are not caught up until AFTER the dead in Christ are resurrected, then this means the catching up or rapture takes place AFTER tribulation!
Now compare the above with 1 CORINTHIANS 15:20-23:
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of those who slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; AFTERWARDS THOSE WHO ARE CHRIST'S AT HIS COMING.
Notice only one resurrection of the dead in Christ is mentioned here! Which, according to Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 must take place BEFORE we who are alive and remain are "caught up" with them!
When did Jesus say the dead in Christ would be resurrected?
John 6:39-40: Jesus said, "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up ON THE LAST DAY.
John 6:44: Jesus said, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up ON THE LAST DAY."
Is the LAST DAY the thousand year reign of Christ?
I believe so....then it is eternity and time is counted no more
So if Jesus himself said the dead in Christ will be raised on the LAST DAY, and Paul said we who are alive and remain will not be caught up (raptured) until AFTER the dead are raised, then where does secret pre-trib rapture fit in?
Paul in 1 Cor 15:52 - 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.
We are changed at the LAST TRUMP and where is this found?
In REVELATION, the LAST BOOK of the Bible there are 7 trumps and the 7th trump is the LAST ONE and is at the end of the tribulation
Listening to Pastor Greg talk about millions of believers going missing at once got me thinking...how would the enemy convince people the rapture never happened and that Christ was never real and never coming to save, lest they repent? Perhaps during a worldwide pandemic, like Coronavirus, where most people are quarantined or in lock down. All they'll hear in the news is 10000 people dead, 100 000 dead etc, but no one at home could verify the numbers. Thousands and millions could vanish during this time - presumed dead - and antichrist could appear on scene at this time as well, offering salvation to all. The enemy doesn't know the exact timing of the rapture, but could play it safe by keeping everyone indoors for as long as possible, oblivious to what's really happening.
Malachi 3:6 King James Version (KJV)
6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
John 5:30 King James Version (KJV)
30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
Preach it Greg, still current 2024 and encouraging oh so, many. MARANATHA
You are SO right pastor. And it’s SO hard to Wait. Amen
Truly, you stand on the precipice of great judgments
born again May 1, 2012.. just a few weeks ago. And let me tell you, God spoke to me in my sleep, which was unusually dreamless (I always have vivid dreams and many dreams and can remember)... but not that night. He said loud and clear: JESUS IS REAL AND HE'S COMING SOON! I jumped out of bed a new person. I truly understand the term "born again" now. I guess I wasn't the last person though (haha) But the clock really is winding down. The unbelievers sadden me. I used to be one. It's not worth it.
Good for you Fruits of Heaven💕 Amen
Awesome. Praise God!

It's not Biblical..the RAPTURE IS NOT BIBLICAL
Michele Mcguire - please remember the Bible was not originally written in English. If you are looking for the word “rapture” in the English Bible you won’t find it same as trinity, you read the original version you will find it there in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 “Harpazo”. Not just only there you can also see it in revelation with the angel commanding John to come up. Or in the Aramaic OT in Genesis with Enoch later with Elisha. It’s a great blessing to hope for. I’d challenge you to dig more and you will discover that wonderful promise.
Oh that was so funny when you said 1 (1000) of a second. And you demonstrated it : You are amazing and blessed by God to bring His word.
We're not waiting for someone to get saved, we're waiting for that special someone to get martyred.
UNDER THE ALTAR:
"How long must we wait?"
"Until the number of the martyrs be fulfilled."
He was Our Holy Jeshua. The only Lam Worthy in the Eyes of God. Jeshua the Only Zon of God make in flesh and never make a sin. The only pure Lam of God.
I don't think he meant it like that...The scripture does say he will not return until the whole world has heard of him..that means everyone will have that opportunity to know Christ. Yes the Christians are going to be here for persecution but the Church (saints) will not be here for the raft of God. Those are the ones that will be under the alter the ones that have been martyred for our Faith
Wonderful teaching!! Thank you, Pastor Greg for being faithful to teach God's Word!
Thank you, Pastor Greg Laurie, I really needed to hear this message.......I'm struggling with the very issue of "Walking with the Lord everyday", but I believe that I'm walking with love in the Lord, and I refuse to give up.......AMEN
Keep reading and then exercising your faith working it out and try to do the Great Commission and witness to people step out and be bold and you'll get stronger.
Tim Renner let us pick up our cross daily and repent because Jesus said if we don't we are not worthy of Him. Ask Him to help you and He will because He is faithful.
J Hankins Amen!!👌
Lord When I stand before thee to be judged.Hold me blameless and righteous in your precious blood.
One of the most update teaching on the end times especially with relation to how Israel connects to the end of the world, islamic hatred for Israel and the return of Jesus Christ!
Wow! This was recorded 10 years ago! Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
@Chris C we are closer than ever to the rapture
@Chris C what lies? You don’t believe in the rapture?
@@milliem8051 man u have pockets of ppl in this comment section who are antichrists attempting to sow doubt and discord among brethren. Stay focus on Jesus and his Word not foolishness from demonic ppl
It was like this sermon was delivered yesterday. With Russia signing pacts with Iran and Turkey last month and Israel pre-emptively attacking Iran daily...a full out confrontation may be days away...how surreal this is going to happen ANY time now
It doesnt matter satan uses this to keep us fighting each other and take our focus off of Christ.
Please brothers dont fight amongst yourselves instead hold steadfast to Jesus and love your neighbor.
His name is not jesus. The letter j was invented in the 1600s
God himself will lead his people in holly land after great war is fought to clean the land from the wicked who are now occupying it. This gigantic war will be fought by all nations and none will be excepted Zachariah 14:2 Hosea 2:1-9 Isaiah 14 : 24-32 Jeremiah 25: 17-38.
Not the present people now occupying the holly land are the ones scriptures referring as people of Israel. God Himself is going to gather the people of Israel from four corners of the earth Isaiah 11:12-16 Isaiah 27:12-13 Jeremiah 23:3-8,20 The people now occupying Palestine and Israel are not the one that Will make God's kingdom Revelation 2 : 9 , 3 : 9 It God who knows his true people not us human because we liable to make mistake.
@@godhatesesau ok his name is THE WORD OF THE MOST HIGH or "Iesous" transliterationed (sounds like E-ay-shoo!) Christ!!
The Creator's name is not God but Iesous says to call him ABBA, FATHER if we serve Iesous Christ.. if we are born again!
@Scott Cannon TRUE
