Brother Rafferty, I made a comment maybe two or three years ago when I first came out of Babylon and was listening to this series. Listening to it again I owe you a huge apology. I had a spirit of criticism and was unkind with my words! I'm sitting here at 3am having listened to 4 hours now of this series and was convicted of my harsh and nasty words. I was compelled to write you this. I pray you forgive me and that you see this apology. I figure I posted it publicly so I should apologize publicly. God Bless all of you for making this series, its truly life changing. I have recommended it to many. People need to listen and watch this more then once, it is so informative and revealing not just of the churches but I can see my own faults and imperfections as the scripture unfolds. Thank you I believe with the help of Jesus, the Holy Spirit and sitting under your tutelage I will make it to heaven now. By the way I have been listening to you Tie, Jeffery, and David (on table talk) you and several others have been guiding me into the Adventist doctrine and I am so surprised and delighted that the Bible can be understood. I studied under the evangelic system for years but the Bible as taught by them made zero sense if you read before and after the verses used to put a study together. Nothing seemed to fit and I honestly was about to give up on it all. I cried out to the Lord to show me the truth, show me what it all meant and was guided to 3ABN and a series on end time prophecy. I came on here and listened to it several times and my eyes were opened!!! I understood some of what I had previously studied but couldn't be understood. That was almost 4 years ago. I haven't stopped since. I would like to make a request of all of you thought. Please ask the church preachers to Teach the word from the pulpit. Their isn't much of that happening and Last year I left the church for that reason. I now do my church time on line. One time where I was going to church a new person egger and hungry for the word came to the church, he complained to me "where is the word" , "I came here to be fed but got nothing". He never returned. I think in this time Just before Jesus comes every preacher should be Teaching like you are doing here and do in your other series. People are starving for the TRUE WORD, they show up if the word is taught no matter if it steps on their toes or not, that's been my experience at least. If someone is literally walking through scripture and letting it speak their can't be an argument or anger toward the preacher because its God saying it so I don't think the preachers need be concerned no one will like them or they will make people angry because they can say "take it up with God, its his words", don't you think? So anyway, would you pass that on if you are able? Thanks. I feel convicted to return to church but I don't want to get angry and frustrated like before, to me that defeats the whole point of going. I want to sit and listen to what you and those I named earlier as well as Steven Borh and several others teach in there seminars. Their are a lot of those like me out here and for those truly seeking knowledge and salvation we can handle the truth, we need it. I want to be truly saved not deluded into thinking I'm saved just to find out I wasted my time learning things that aren't true and miss heaven. To hear the Lord say to me "I never knew you" would be worse then anything I can Imagine. So in the next meeting you all have would you at least bring it up? Lots of Love and with a truly repentant heart. God Bless from your sister Diana
Thank you Diana for coming forth with your realisation, of the Truth.
I too came out of the world and now know the truth. Salvation Signs and Symbols is an amazing teaching, from people who have studied for years, keep it up.
Another good platform of teaching, comes from our radio station Faith FM. What an amazing experience I’ve had with them over the last few years. Their teaching is so true and educational. You can get their App if you are unable to get the signal thru your radio.
Diana please go to the Adventist Church, not only will you find the truth there, but you will experience the truth of happiness, peace and the wonderful love of God And His church family.
Well done for seeking the truth of the entire Holy Bible. I say the truth of the Holy Bible, as a warning of the subtle untruths which are slipped into the Holy word by satan to discredit God.
This has been happening for a few years and becoming more aggressive now that time is getting short for satan.
Welcome to our world Diana and May the Lord guide you to His pathway of Salvation
@@margiegrant418 thank you for responding to this post. I believe this church organization has the truth, however, as I told the preacher at the church I attend, it lacks the Spirit. Several weeks after I made that statement, he spoke those same words as If he'd never heard them before. I just chuckled; seems God is working on his understanding. I have attended 2 different SDA churches now and my concerns are the same, there isn't much in the way of teaching. The explanation I get is Sabbath school is what you need to attend if you want to be taught the word. My question was "then why would we attend church, why wouldn't we just go to Sabbath school then go home"? The answer was we attend church for the comradery. I don't know? Pray for our church because these in the pulpit need to do their job, not just for our benefit but for the benefit of those who are seeking the truth but are discouraged with the lack of information when they do come. May the Lord bless and keep you and yours.
Diana can I send you an email with a link to more info, so you can understand the subject. There is so much we need to learn, but we can’t learn it in half an hour. Also it takes time to absorb the info.
The SDA church is only trying to make everyone aware of the information, that is coming out daily.
What we learnt, say ten years ago is nothing to what we are learning now .
Look at technology, how fast is that moving, todays computer is almost out of date tomorrow. Be blessed and keep looking for the word of God. If you ask Him to reveal the knowledge and discernment, of what you learn, the Holy Spirit will lead you.
Look with an open mind and remember satan has his people everywhere, even in all the churches.
No one is trying to convert you to an Adventist.
Their greatest wish is for you to learn the truth and recognise when He is coming . Blessings to you.
@@dianavestal850 Hi Diana, again.
I’ve been thinking about many peoples’ comments, about the sermons preached, in the SDA church, as in any other church.
I think the easiest way to explain it all is… think of a person going to university, to train as a doctor.
He goes into his first lecture and listens to the lecturer talking about the basics of the course.
He firstly introduced the human body to the students, and explains that there are many organs which have to work together, to make up a living body etc etc.
At the end of the lecture he tells everyone that they now know, all about the human body, so there is no more study needed to be done .
Next week they should return, for their exams and the following week they would receive their doctorate.
Do you see what I’m getting at? We cannot expect to know or understand our subjects, until we have studied them.
That is the idea of Bible Sabbath School. Every quarter of the year, a new book comes out, to all of us, with the idea that we would study part of a subject, day by day, and then close the week with a run over the last six days, preferably in church Sabbath School, hearing different attendees remarks and comments, to ensure we all understand the subject of that week. After an hour of discussion and good explanations, the Sabbath School ends for that week, in church, to be continued next week at home.
Sometimes the pastor preaches on that particular subject, or a totally different one.
We have to put in a fair share of learning, by studying the Bible, getting to know it and navigate around it.
The Bible is like a treasure map.
Look and you will find.
Ask and God will reveal.
Always pray before you start reading, the Lord will open your eyes and you will start to learn. He will open your frontal lobe , of your brain , so you can understand and comprehend . He wants you to know His precious word. That is why He wrote His word on stone with His own finger.
Don’t buck the system, go with the flow. You will learn and the more you learn, the more you will understand God.
He is LOVE and you are his precious child , whom He gave His life for.
You don’t have to join the SDA church, but I find I like to worship with these people, they have become my family, and I enjoy spending time with them in church and over lunch.
I hope that explains it better. Blessing to you. Margie
@@dianavestal850 Greetings! I'm also a convert (11 years ago). I've attended dozens of churches and can say that probably the majority of SDA churches are in poor spiritually condition. It's heartbreakingly tragic but most definitely prophesied. The Adventist believers have a shared experience with ancient Israel. I think of the great light that has been given to the SDA people and how our nature focuses in on how to live up to this great light (a vast amount of Truth) instead of the focus on Jesus and how HE will cause us to live up to the great Truths if we only learn to lean upon Him. This experience parallels that of ancient Israel. God was attempting to reveal to them that He alone is The Source for right living.
Has your church taught anything about self-supporting work, country living, medical missionary work? Those areas are where we need attention. I'm currently helping some friends in Missouri on their property where they have camp meetings and a health retreat. They do home church here on occasion. I've learned over the past decade that you really need to get connected with the right people because attending most churches will just lead you to Laodicea. Also I can maybe connect you to some home churches in your area. Have a blessed Sabbath! 🕊️
Very sweet apology btw 😊
This program was recommended to me by a friend. It is one of the most amazing studies I have ever heard on the book of Revelations. Thanks so much to all the people who contributed to the program. It is truly life changing and inspiring. Every Christian should see this. It is an amazing, yet undervalued, resource.
Amen N Langley!!! God bless you and much love in Jesus' Christ. Shalom!!!
I second this! This is THE FIRST TIME Anyone has taken the time to make the study of The book of Revelation, interesting, informative and enjoyable! I came across this last week and have been watching and reviewing each episode on a loop. I LOVE that I’ve reached as far as lesson 4 and we’re still discussing chapter 1.
Thank You Jesus for the 3ABN/D2D Team. God Bless you all.
We have been in a bible study and a friend recommended we listen to this documentaries. It is so amazing.
My mother introduced me to the network 3ABN and I have been so amazed and blown away by the teachings and I just love Salvation,Symbols,& Signs!! I love the breakdown of the Bible and Pastor Ivory and Pastor Rafferty both together are Amazing 😉 together teaching and breaking down the Bible. They make bible study easier and more understanding 💜💜
Living in DC/MD area as a Sabbath Keeper I have never been so ready to study and learn about the book of Revelations until now. Much prayers.
Jesus is the sabbath; God's rest for all saints. It was never about a day - that was a shadow.
Sabbath day is Friday Sunset until Saturday Sunday.
M. Tanner and you don’t know what you’re talking about! It was about the day. God made the Sabbath at the end of creation in 1 week. It’s in the bible😀 clear as day! If the Sabbath was is a shadow..you might as well believe in the Big Bang Theory.
They are all Anointed.. and filled with Christ! But my brother Myers.. blows my mind in the way he expresses and explains so many details.....
God bless them as they lead us to the purest truth of God's incredible Bride! AMEN!
Love Ivor but the constant lip smacking is too distracting for me. I wish they would edit that out.
And to lead us to have that manifestation of Christ in us. So that we may be perfect and without blemish and not just conquerors, but overcomers through the Holy Spirit. And it's only by the power of God we can do these things.
Yes Ivor does elaborate incredibly well!
what a powerful start, Im glad a friend suggested this
Blessed Good Night to you all , I am
A. Abraham from Trinidad and is happy to say I have learned quite a lot from listening to your teachings about the Bible
It is truly amazing the way your team discuss and agree on the facts written in the Bible , then the reading is being explained in its simplest form that all can understand clearly , Praise God.
James Rafferty is a sharp cookie and knows his stuff
Sandra Garcia Same thing hit me. Sharp is the word. I look forward to when he shares.
Thank you Jesus for this program! Thanks for sharing the book of Revelation. I am eager to learn more.
Please... Please... Please... finish the study guides. I have watched all 72 videos and have been patiently waiting for the videos on Daniel... I was so excited to see the study guides... then so disappointed to see there are only 16 of them. I so want to use these videos and guides in my small group.... the end is near.... lets not stop working now.
READ BEFORE WATCHING: They recorded Revelation first (episodes 1-72). However, it's best to watch Daniel first (starting at episode 73). The Revelation episodes assume a solid pre-knowledge of Daniel's prophecies, and the presenters state on the Daniel videos that they wish they had recorded those first. The Daniel episodes are EXCELLENT and very Christ centered.
Thank you for this series, it had been such a blessing to us all!
I have been watching the series and also going over the transcript to catch what I didn't catch the first time. Thank you so much for bringing this information out. What a fabulous series!
fantastic. I feel like the Ethiopian Eunuch "how can I understand it, except someone explain it to me". Praise the Lord
Had the opportunity to meet Pastor Pergerson... It was a great privilege!
I just now watched this first study in the series. I am so excited. I've already sent the link to people and am so looking forward to studying through the entire book with this series! I've been wanting to learn how to see Jesus everywhere and so far it looks like this is just what I need.
What a blessing! Thank you for this program. The duration (30 min) is perfect, and I like that there is no rush.
Wonderful, God bless you all
Praise the Lord! God bless you!
I`m extremely Happy this "Power Information" i.e. REVELATIONS that this kind of "Wisdom" is available via the Internet e.g. CZcams. FOLKS....Be not dismayed.... Keep Posting EVERY Program that rolls off from your Studios. Dear Father in Heaven BLESS the Revelators with ALL TRUTH as they are led to share. AMEN.
This is the first time am watching this, thank you am so blest...Yaweh Bless you all for your work of the gospel
I love Your overview of the Revelation Book. It makes so much sense! I always loved this Book.
A Revelation of the ministry of the Messiah, Prophet, Priest. and King.
That's it!
I blend 1 whole lemon and peel and 2 whole oranges or 5 mandarins and peels and 3 banana without peel with 2 cups of water then chill overnight then drink half that the next morning.
The peels are the best natural vitamin c and really helps keep you healthy.
My neighbor got 3 jabs and was very sick so he started drinking this and it really helped
Happily ever after......NOW it will be not so scary to study.. Your beginning explanation was very clear, can't wait to continue.
I thoroughly enjoy your program. It is quite insightful!
Awesome presentation! Can’t wait to view more. Great job!
I praise the Lord this study!!! Please finish the study guides! Thank You
I can relate with Jason Bradley´s testimony from minute 4:14. The way he unfolded it, was hilarious! May the Lord bless you all. Thank you for bringing this subject nowdays.
Wow! This is the best bible study session.
God bless you! Thank you posting these videos.
Awesome teaching
God bless your hearts
Have y’all ever considered putting these on Spotify as a podcast series? People like myself would really enjoy this!!! Please consider it!!
@daretodreamnetwork
Can you guys do a whole bible study through the entire bible like this one? I really appreciated this and like group bible study discussions and makes it fun to follow along
This is Gold

Praise The LORD
Revelation interprets Daniel. Shalom.
Revelation interprets Daniel. shalom.
Thank you for sharing this!
AMEN!!
Well ...thank God im here
The book of Revelation is one of the easiest books to understand. It becomes confusing when it is spiritualized and mystified rather than the plain reading.
It is a spiritual and mystical book that is meant to be interpreted because of the constant symbolism. Your comment in turn has left me mystified. 😂
Love this very helpful
Just started this series and would like to share it with someone. Is there a transcript available?
Amen!
I love this overview
This is awesome
Crystal clear truth
The way thw Myers break it down bring to mind the book of Genesis 2 -3. Thw relationship between a man and woman dating, courting and marriage. Also it makes me see adultery and fornication is simple yet deep sense.
What happens the save ones that are taken to heaven,and what will happen to ufos that live up there
I cannot watch with the woman moaning in agreement in the background. This is unfortunate.
Amen 🙏
😁
Salvation is only found in Jesus Christ Only and not in a single symbol or sign, but the signs that HIS RETURN is close are happening. Wish you all would've picked a different name for this. It's misleading to people who don't know yet.
@S Nikki Thank you for your feedback. We believe we're saved by grace through faith in Christ alone. We see your point as far as the name is concerned, but once someone watches the program there will be no question about our theological position. Jesus is all throughout every episode. Thanks again for your comment.
Does anyone know in which one of the episodes where James Rafferty touches on the idea of suicide? I don't remember it but a friend of mine is sure he does on salvation symbols and signs. If anyone does please reply to this comment. It will bring great comfort to a good Christian family.
Hi, Matt. We reached out to Pastor Rafferty and he said that he mentioned it in one of the episodes. He wasn't sure which episode it was though. One resource that's available is the National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255. Our Pastoral Department is also a valuable resource for prayer, and the number is 618-627-4651. Our hours of operation are Mon-Thurs, 7:30 AM CDT-5:30 PM CDT.
@@D2dnetworkTv Thank you for taking the time to try and find it for me. I'm going through the series for the second time and taking detailed notes this time so I'm certain I'll find it. Again, I really do appreciate it.
Hi,
I have been following along with your series of “Salvation
in symbols and signs.
Mr. Rafferty I have been listening to you for about 2 ½
years now, ever since I was led to the Seventh Day adventus teachings, that’s
another conversation. Please allow me to add to your understanding/explanation
of the scape goat ceremony as it pertains to satan and the 1000 years. You keep
saying that satans punishment/ torment, is that he won’t be able to tempt
people, that’s not what the Bible says. The Bible states in Jerimiah chapter
4:23 that the sky was without light, the mountains trembled and all the hills
moved lightly. When satan is bound on this earth he will be in Utter darkness
on moving ground under his feet and all the sounds that come with that. There
will be nothing to make a light with for the whole earth will be desolate.
There is no light, he can’t possibly observe all the destruction he’s caused,
God is showing satan what it’s like to be in utter darkness “without the light
of Jesus, “I am the light of the world” or the earthly light God provided, sun
moon and stars. Think of all that satan has taught man to worship, the sun,
stars, moon and the earth itself, all those will be removed. I can’t remember
where it says “they will be cast out into utter darkness, where there will be weeping
and gnashing of the teeth”, this is not just man’s punishment but literally
satans. This is what satan will have to endure for the 1000 years. Constantly
shifting ground utter darkness. There
are several scriptures that talk about man standing or building on shifting
sand and outer darkness. Those scriptures go with this picture God is painting
for us. What satan symbolically caused man to endure he will literally have to
endure.
In Christs
Love. Your sister Diana
Ask yourself an honest question.. what is in your heart? Is it Jesus?
Do you love your enemies? Are you truly prepared to actually die for your testimony of our lord and saviour? Have you read the book of revelation of Jesus christ (meaning what it says.. the revealing of Jesus in every ones life.. past present and future.) Jesus is, was and is to come. Spiritual is eternal and has no time.. it is, was and is to come.
Jesus already won on the cross.. it's up to us to overcome satan in our hearts and stay faithful unto death. Everything dies before it has life.. like a seed. Including us.. please read the words of revelation and see for yourself.. I pray. And see it from a spiritual perspective and not an earthly/worldly/carnal perspective.. you will be blessed. It even says.. blessed are those who READ the book of revelation and hears what the spirits say. God bless you all. Amen
Will the ufos be a part of gods beautiful city of gold.
They'll be part of the lake of fire 🔥
🤓
some thoughts - Have you ever wondered why Jesus does not appear to be in Chapter 4 of the Book of Revelation? Let's look at Heb 1:3 "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being". Now, the emerald is the stone of the tribe of Judah in the breastpiece of the high priest. You will find this to be true in the KJV, not in the NIV or the NASB. However, the Jewish historical societies all agree that the emerald is the stone of the tribe of Judah. Notice that the rainbow encircles the throne. No one comes to the Father except throught the Son. Note that the rainbow is not mentioned in Chapter 5. However when the elder refers to the Lion of the tribe of Judah do you think he was looking at the rainbow? When John then looks he sees a Lamb looking as if it had been slain. Remember God the Father is represented in Chapter 4 as one sitting on the throne. The Holy Spirit is represented as seven lamps before the throne. Do you think that Jesus is represented by the rainbow encircling the throne?
something that really concerns me about this teaching is that its so specific and inspired. No way would any regular person reading Revelation get this outlandish interpretation. Its so inspired and so specific how can you believe that GOD would require only specific people to interpret this. I have studied revelation and listened to countless interpretations but none as disjointed and outlandish as these. I would never be able to come to the interpretations by this ministry since they are so remotely connected to the verse and text. I actually was amazed at your distortion of a very clear chapter 11. Be very careful with any interpretations that are so specific and limited. Would you ever come to these conclusions reading the word yourself? If you took it literally would it mean you didnt understand it? does Gods word deceive in that it means something completely different than what's written? I say no!!!
The conclusions I heard are so unique and disjointed no way would that be what GOD was trying to communicate when you read the scripture. Its just not connected in any true sense.
Ian I also have studied Revelaiton and read other interpretations and my conclusions that this series is not disjointed as you describe. In my opinion I cannot find another Revelation series that actually make more sense. Could you give me any other study on Revelation that you feel is not disjointed or distorted or outlandish that is a better series than this? Let me know I like to watch it and compare.
Metaphorically CRYSTAL CLEAR! God bless more your eschatological prophetic exegesis, SSS crew of 3ABN
