Idea for northlake leadership: is there a way to build a ministry where people that tune in online from all over the world can interact in a community and maybe even have zoom Bible studies over the messages? "online campus" might be a stretch something in that direction. Love you guys.
DTM... thanks for your thoughts. We are working on some ideas to bring this community together and to encourage the soul while teaching how to evangelize the sinner (couple of our core values). Stay tuned as we will be revealing some additional information soon.
No sugar coating the gospel here. Pastor Danny you are very courageous to speak what you know in your heart to be truth, regardless if it is what your congregation wants to hear or not. For that, I have high respect and regard for you as a pastor. Also, thank you for preaching the book of Revelation which is beyond significant at this time.
Thank you for delivering a hard message. My takeaway is that we better be ready no matter when Jesus comes and trust that He will carry us through whatever situation we are in. I think of the 21 Christians in the orange jumpsuits, on the beach. God never left them nor forsook them and He will give us the strength at the time we need it. Looking and waiting for our Redeemer.
Sen.Scott Jenson needs support. The Senator has come under fire for speaking the truth about COVID 19. The Senator is from Minnesota. Prayer & words of encouragement would help him & his family.
Pastor Jones Thank you for the truth about the time of the rapture of the church. I agree with you, we need to get the Gospel message out now. I really appreciated you sharing the Bible facts with scriptural truths. I was lifted up and glad I listened to your whole service. What a blessing. Thankful from Wisconsin
@@Christreturns4sure Hi LadyPsalms 139:14 Hello to you sister in Christ. So good to hear we are neighbors. Let's keep in touch. God's blessings to you.
I opened to Joel 2 yesterday. I have never seen the Scofield Bible. I just read the Bible daily for fifteen years and let the Holy Spirit speak to me. I have been persecuted a lot especially by the church who permits divorce and remarriage when Jesus said remarriage is adultery. The Lord is giving Spirit-filled believers dreams and visions like Acts 2:17-18 about flying up in the rapture. The early church fathers at the very beginning believed in pre-Tribulation rapture, and the imminency of the rapture is our motivation to live as if each day is a day to die or to be raptured. Even born again Jews are having rapture dreams, and they don't go to Baptist churches. I am in Atlanta, and I have been on YT for three years since my first rapture dream. I have a playlist with hundreds of videos from all over of people who believe in the pre-Tribulation rapture. The seven years Tribulation is not for the church, but for those to be martyred by beheading and it is called Jacob's Trouble. John 14:1-4 is the place Jesus has prepared to take us to. Matthew 25 says that we are to be the wise virgins WATCHING daily for His return, and that is what I am doing, and I tell people to REPENT and get ready to go any day. The horsemen have not been riding. We are up in heaven when the Lamb opens the seals. Sorry.
It will be sorry when all those rapture dreams were not rapture dreams but dreams to wake people up and get ready for all hell to brake lose do you think God would need to show you hundreds of rapture dreams to prepare you to go or for what's going to happen
Whether pre or post why not just be READY for the coming of Christ Jesus?! No man know what day or hour of His return ONLY Father God. Let's focus on being ready and abiding in God so He may abide in us. ❤️💯
Love this message! ❤️. And you are so right - we need to be warning others while the Lord still may be found. I’m working on this message for my 4th and 5th grade Sunday school class who will more than likely endure Christian persecution, even if it’s after I’m dead and gone - they need to know and be somewhat prepared - as prepared as I can help get them anyway.
Thank you Pastor Jones for the great message, I’m having to re-think and re-search my beliefs related to the timing (v4 or v7) of the rapture and the implications for unbelievers who will suffer the 7 year wrath of the Lamb. Having read the Left Behind series at an impressionable age and several books by Dr. Jeremiah, I have believed that many would have another chance during the tribulation period.
Amen pastoor..this was the same thing I readed.. the trumpets also fits the 7 years for Israël. The end for gentiles is seal 6..then dan 9:27 last yearweek will happen.
Great sermon for our times. Thank you. I find that all your youtube videos the sound is really low, can you please increase it. Blessings to you and your church.
The first 6 seals are the Antichrists judgments towards the world and church chapter 8 the first 4 verses you see the churches prayers poured out on the altar and then thrown to earth with Gods wrath. Good sermon pastor did great job again
The Bible also says that those who receive the mark will not be able to be saved. We also know that the people who are going to receive this mark are going to be the one whose names are not written in the book of Life from the foundation of the world
If we are really honest with ourselves none of us really know the details of it all. It's comfortable to join a camp but deep down we all know the only truth we are sure of is the Lords birth life death resurrection and return. So don't fall out with each other over things that are not clear. Love covers a multitude of sins
I love this message however I don't agree that gentiles will not be safe after the rapture. We know the two witnesses, the 144,000, and the angels in heaven will be preaching the gospel. We also know that there will be those who will be killed because they don't receive the mark, we see these beheaded Christians in heaven asking how long before they are avenged
I like Pastor Danny but he's way off re the "rapture". It's not a proper theological construct. It's an example of eisegesis not exegesis. I understand the rapture theory has been trendy in Protestant theology for decades. But that hardly makes it sound doctrine. Protestants don't even agree among themselves, with such variants as pre and post millenialism.
Thank You!!! But if no one is saved during the seven years can you explain I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and the authority to judge was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness of Jesus and for the word of God. They had not worshipped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who takes part in the first resurrection. Over these the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with Him a thousand years. Revelation 20:4-6
@@MrsMick105 the people who come to life in Chapter 20 can't be the people of Chapter 7. Why would God call 144,000 and Seal them, why have two witnesses, why have an Angel flying through the skies proclaiming the gospel if nobody was to be saved?
AT THE RAPTURE; the instant removal of the bride to meet our Lord above earth we will receive an imperishable sinless body like that of Jesus Christ. 1 Cor.15:51-57. First church believers who died and then those alive following them up.1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. The Lord calls us from above Earth. I believe the Holy Spirit in us HEARS and actually removes us to His side! Our sin nature, Romans 3:23, is supernaturally removed and our sanctification (being holy) is completed as is our salvation so we can go to Heaven.Romans 6:23. Timing. We are NOT appointed to God's wrath! 1 Thessalonians 1:10; 5:9; Romans 5:8-9; Rev.3:10. The bride of Christ will not go through "Tribulation" when God judges the lost world left behind. No longer will evil be restrained as one of the ministries of the Holy Spirit. The bride is complete & home. That opens the door for the appearance of anti-Christ; Satan in human form! MORE TIMING OF RAPTURE See John 14:3; Titus chapter 2:verses 11-14. It is "IMMINENT"! "Maranatha" ("He comes") was the greeting to one another in the just formed church. They looked for Jesus to come in their time! WE TOO! Only God knows the time the last Christian is saved! Romans 11:25. REVIVED BIBLE BASED CHURCH ! REVELATION 3:10-13; 2 Thessalonians 3:5 This channel is a blessing known to God before the world was made. Ephesians 1:1-14. Thank you for this video and chance to praise our Lord. You are a blessed Saint. We are One body in Christ Jesus who knows this moment well. This praise rises up across the earth: "Jesus is Lord and only He saves". 2 Samuel 22: 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name." THE GOOD NEWS Blood coming from all over his body and NAKED hanging on that cross like torture weapon! What a Lord and God and Savior! He had to do it. HE is God the Son and only His body and blood could pay the sins price of ALL ever! 1 John 2:1-2. Subscribed. JESUS SAVES Mark 16: verse 15: "And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." How can anyone hear the "good" news? *Romans 10:17 "Then faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God." God the Son has given us that command! We shall overcome any attacks and road blocks the enemy of our soul places in our path. The Lord is our shepherd. Psalm 23; Ephesians 6:10-18 (be in Christ and remember! the supernatural armor for battle God blessed in us by God the Holy Spirit) There is a CROWN in Heaven awaiting all who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and a soul is saved. See 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20; " For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? 20 For you are our glory and joy." Philippians 4:1 "Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved." The Birth Of Jesus Christ Isaiah 7:14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal, the body was mutilated, the blood was poured out, but the bones were not broken, buried in a Tomb and risen on the 3rd day. Isaiah 53:"5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "I am the way, the truth and the life: no one comes to the Father except through me." John 14.6 "1 Corinthians 15: 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; (remember His blood and body He gave! Remember Him in all we do!) 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures." THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER The good news is as Paul preached, “My friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you”. Acts 13:38. "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians 1:7 Matthew 26:28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the redemption of sins." "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John 2:2 Romans 5:8 " But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him." “For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21. Ephesians 2:"8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting in His death and in the shedding of His blood as payment for our sins, as well as in His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day, and we will be saved! John 20:24-31; See 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Romans 10: 9 If you confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Salvation and forgiveness of sins is a blessing of all who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit immediately which seals us in Christ Ephesians 1:13-14. This seal is permanent. Those who reject salvation, "perish"(John 3:16) which means their sins are judged and suffer separation from God forever called the second death. Rev.21:8
I have quit using the word “Christian”,, leaves bad taste in my mouth! It’s been representing the wrong Jesus! I’m a disciple of Jesus, or a follower or a handmaiden for the Lord any of those but definitely not Christian
Wish I lived closer so I could worship in person with all of you...thank you Reverend Jones..I feel like I finally found my church

What about the people who have children in the millennial reign of Christ? That tells me there will be people who will survive the tribulation.
