Because of this music, my heart is glad. I had surgery two years ago that practically ruined my brain. almost made me question my sanity For almost 12 years, I have worked as a trader full-time. Because I've previously been approached for investing advice, my contact information is displayed on my profile. My life suddenly slowed down and was dull despite the fact that I am enthusiastic about what I do. Even how I recovered is beyond me. One day, I had the impression of seeing a bright light, and when I looked over at my partner, I saw that he was crying. Now that I'm back at work, I'm proud of myself. People seek guidance on how to assist them every day .
I greatly appreciate you too! I consider you a great teacher and preacher! For the life of me, I cannot understand Why So Many Christians are caught up in the pre-trib theory. Some men that I have respected for years. This is so clear in Thessalonians. I would say thirdly, that right in the first few verses We are warned to not be deceived. My belief is Many/ Millions of Christians will simply fall away because of this false belief! More people need to read through the Bible for themselves and stop relying so much about being taught. I even recommend reading different versions! Amen, Pastor John, have a blessed day!
This series of study on the second coming is so glorious! I eagerly anticipate each new episode! My heart is overflowing with joy and expectancy for Jesus to return and establish His kingdom on the earth and I get to MARVEL at His ruling the earth in perfect justice and righteousness and I get the privilege to be His emissary in the playing out of practical righteousness and justice in the land, using the gifts he’s so graciously given me. Marvel!
Pretty amazing that 2 great teachers like Dr Piper and Dr MacArthur have opposite positions on this issue. As a young Christian I went from pretrib to posttrib and back as I found both positions could be successfully argued from the texts. Till I thought of Enoch raptured before the Flood and Noah and his family being taken out of it, and later of Lot and his family being taken out of Sodom before its destruction. There seems to be a clear pattern there. Recently my view was strengthened by 5 things: 1st the Church is absent from Revelation from ch 4 (and come up here) till the last chapters. 2nd The tribulation is called the time of Jacob's trouble: it concerns Israel and its salvation, not the Church. It's also the time of God's wrath, His wrath cannot be unleashed against Christ's bride 3) Jesus's words "if those times weren't shortened, no one would be saved" only makes sense if there's a millennium right after the 2nd Coming where those people who survived the tribulation will live. 4) I'm told that the first disciples expected Christ's return at any time till after the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD and the dispersion of Israel, then they knew it wasn't going to happen soon. Finally dispensationalism (applied to eschatology only) explained many things I could not understand about Scriptures. We will see whether the marriage of the Lamb takes place in Heaven during the tribulation on earth or after. :) In any case, Maranatha, Lord Jesus!
Appreciate your comments on pretrib position. I believe the Church being the beloved of Christ, would be kept away from 7 years trib that falls on the whole unbelieving world.

I greatly appreciate Pastor John’s straightforward, common-sense interpretation and teaching of these and other pertaining passages (his conclusions are the same as my own). Given that some respected reformed teachers draw conclusions from these scriptures that make me sometimes wonder why I even bother reading and trying to understand the Bible for myself, this approach re-enforces my belief that scripture was meant to be understood by the common believer.
Pre-trib teachers seem to ignore Rev 20:4-6. "This is the first resurrection. The rest of the dead do not come to life until after the 1,000 years are completed." There is only one resurrection before the 1,000 years! All the scriptures used by Pre-trib teachers are applicable to a post-trib rapture. Teach the truth. Teach: The sacrifices will start and end before Jesus returns. We rise in the first and only resurrection before the 1,000 years with the two witnesses on the day Jesus returns!
I believe this to be correct, besides the part where Jesus doesn't go back to heaven. The Day is revealed in the 6th seal, but right after that the saints that have been through the tribulation are standing before the throne and before the Lamb. This makes me think that Jesus is going to come rescue the saints before His wrath is poured out upon the earth, but I do agree that this is after the tribulation. I'm open for someone to reason this out with. I have pondered these things and I desire to know the truth about it.
Have you ever noticed pre-trib teachers NEVER use the teachings of Jesus??? In Jn5:28-29 Jesus said ALL THAT ARE IN THE GRAVES SHALL COME FORTH (Just and unjust together) NO time period between. To God be the Glory
I think what makes people believe the pretrib is that nobody wants to be here when the antichrist is persecuting and killing God's people. That desire to not be here causes many people to twist the scriptures to say what they want it to say. Jesus was quite plain in matthew 24. It's even plain in the opening of the seals in Revelation when the saints that die during that time ask God how long before he would come and avenge their deaths.. He says just a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. Then he opens the 6th seal and the sun and moon go dark just like in matthew 24:29. Add that with what Daniel said and there you go.

They don’t understand history either. The believers were here on earth when the antichrist and his inquisition killed thousands upon thousands. We will be here when history (probably) is going to repeat itself.
I was concerned why very known preachers of sound doctrine that I respect and hear were saying pre rapture. For a moment i thought could I be wrong? For many years I have believed in Christ coming at the end. My eyes were opened by only reading carefully Matthew 24. With my husband now we are teaching it and warning believers to wake up and change their ways. Some believers don't like even hearing that Christ is coming soon. Shouldn't this be out blessed hope and joy?
Those well known pastors are called out in Jeremiah 23:1. Hear both the Old Testament and New Testament describe the rapture: th-cam.com/video/EdpYlsoHBIY/w-d-xo.html
Amen. The Rapture is under severe attack precisely because it'll soon happen. Imagine what a witness it'll be for the unbelievers who have been told about it by Christians! But if most Christians don't believe it, they don't mention it, and unbelievers will accept any other explanation for the disappearance of so many people.

Hold fast to what you are teaching-- no matter how many times your accused of having a demon, like I have been accused of. You know, I really hate the division that this brings with it, but Jesus said what He said. Paul said what he said, and the both match perfectly. You cannot make a pre-trib rapture work without manipulating the scriptures and discarding what Jesus said, altogether. My fear is that, those that believe in a pre-trib rapture may just be the ones that fall away once God sends the deluding spirit upon the church. "Many will come to Me in that day and say, 'Lord, did we not prophesy in Your Name? And in Your Name, did we not cast out demons?' "And I will say to them, 'Away from Me, I never knew you.'" "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Word will never pass away. "
The subject of those verses is the dead in Christ specifically. We may not reasonably say that we are given the full picture of other things that will happen. Nowhere do those verses say, "and there was no judgment."
2THESS 2:1. Now we beseech you, brethren , by the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ ( before Jesus Christ comes in the clouds of glory, His coming in His saints it's called the epiphanie a corporate body of the man - child ministry, the 2 witnesses to minister to the church in the tribulation Rev 12:5,6; 2Thess 1:10, Hos 6:1-3; psalm 149:5-9; Isa 60:1,2; Acts 2:16-21; Rev 10:9-11; to preach the everlasting gospel to all creation ), and by our gathering together unto Him ( we gather unto Jesus Christ not religion nor denominations or man ) 2. That ye be not soon shaken in mind ( that's your soul area ), or be troubled, neither by spirit (wrong revelation, doctrines of demons , religious spirits , anti-christ spirit 1Jn 4:1-6; 2Jn verse 7; 2Pet 2:1-3; 1Tim 4:1 ), nor by word ( what's being preached, or taught, Lk 8:15. Jesus told His disciples to be careful with the leaven of the pharisees those are the preacher's of today, and to be careful with the leaven of herod that's your government ), nor by letter ( books, magazine's ,tracks ), as from us, as that the day of the Lord is at hand. 3. Let no man ( preacher, pastor, teacher, false prophet ) deceive ( beguile, trick you, tickle your ear ) by any means: for that day shall not come ( the coming of the Lord ), Except there come a falling away first ( Apostasy defecting from the truth, a great rebellion. 1Tim4:1; 2Tim3:1-5; 2Pet 2:3; Jude 18; Jn 6:66=666) , and the man of sin ( inside of each of us is the man of sin it's called the old man ) be revealed the son of perdition ( Judas iscariot was called the son of perdition by Jesus in Jn 17:12; Jn 13:26,27 SOP means son of perdition or destruction ). 4.Who opposeth and exalteth himself ( we must not exalt Self, the old man, the carnal man, the earthly man, the devilish man, the beastly nature of man, psalms 73:22 King David said , So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things ( the apostle Paul always warned the church of Christ Jesus ) ? 6. And now ye know what withholdeth ( restraineth means to hold back ) that he ( the son of perdition ) might be revealed in his time ( let's go back to verse 3 and will see when the son of perdition will be revealed at the falling away first ).7. For the mystery of iniquity ( lawlessness ) doth already work ( it was already working in Paul's day ): only he ( the Holy Ghost ) who now letteth will let, until he ( the son of perdition ) be taken out of the way, or come out of the midst ( it's a corporate body of son of perdition in the temple of Christ spiritualy speaking, just as Judas iscariot was, the disciples didn't have a clue it was Judas iscariot until he betrayed Jesus Christ with a kiss, when he dip the Sop into the dish satan entered him, and history is going to repeat itself again, the sons of perdition are going to betray the brothers to death. Matt 24:9,10 ) 8. And then shall that Wicked be revealed ( in the NT, they are corporate bodies, Jesus has His body and that's the true church in means called out one's out of religious babylonian churches . Satan also has a body and it's all the children of disobedience among the people of God, the tares, and the goat's, they have a anti christ spirit ).

What do you do with Isa 26:18-20? What chamber with a door is being talked about? What do you do with Rev 12, is it an event that already happened and if so why is it in the middle of Revelation? Why would we need to know of an event that happened over 2000 years ago? Who is it in Rev 19:14 that is clothed in fine linen if it is not rapture believers? They come out of heaven, and how come there is no mention of the dead rising and the believers rising up to meet Christ in Rev 19? We are told it is the marriage of the lamb. Why are the virgins waiting? If we are rapture at the end, we know the exact day of His coming, because we know the date of the abomination? With all do respect, you are hanging a lot on terms like "meet", and "appearance".
I disagree, a lot of chronology is found there. If not what is its purpose? Is God wasting our time on something that is all symbols? I have never found God to put anything in the scriptures for no reason. He expects us to dig and pull His entire word together into His logical understandable plan. Please don't take my comment as criticism of anyone, just sharpening each other with challenges. I think the author of these video are awesome. I have learned a lot. Maranatha
@@amyashleman106 *You never knew God's word well enough to recognize any of the thousands of blasphemous and obvious changes the Antichrist made in your own bible, so keep your mouth shut little girl.*
@@ferdinandthebull286 You ask if God is wasting our time on something that is all symbols. But if the whole purpose of the book is to provide symbols that mean something, then there is no waste of time. The book of Revelation is a book of symbols, where things in John's visionary world correspond to things in our real world. That is the whole nature of the book. It isn't like a series of photographs of things that will happen. So, for example, in Rev 13 we read of 2 animals with heads and horns etc. These are symbols. We are not supposed to think that these 2 animals will some day literally exist. Similarly, the 144,000 redeemed in chs. 7 and 14 is a symbolic number: 12 x 12 x 1000. It doesn't mean that there will literally be 144,000 of the redeemed.
Rapture and many other things are things of God, I guess. It's deep and mysterious. It's in the mind of God. While we have "hints," by grace, we leave this thing to God. Honestly, all things are from God. Now, we are "ought" to pray, asking the grace of God to lead us to the one that pleases him -- to his One and Only Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, to DEPEND on him for everything in this life and in eternal. Man is sinful and weak. Man has no understanding. We depend on the Lord Jesus Christ.
hansja, Amos 3:7 says that God does NOTHING unless he first tells his prophets. Not "hints" or "expects you to infer what is not written." Nothing. Everything we need to know was written. The important things were written at least twice. Something as important as a pretrib rapture surely deserved one sentence anywhere in the Bible? If it were true.
@@Mikeman07825 comparisons from Old Testament to support the argument of pre tribulation vs using actual Biblical evidence where Paul and John talk about how it will all play out. Do not have false hope. Of course we all want pre tribulation rapture but we need to be tested and experience the ultimate test. So stop looking up like Paul told the Thessalonians, Jesus is not coming back until the man of lawlessness is revealed. We will experience the tribulation and need to stand firm as Paul says and tell people not to take the mark of the beast cause if they do, they will go to hell and not be saved. But if only unbelievers r here then it doesn’t make sense to have this great deception and mark of the beast if they r all going to hell anyway. Not that’s my personal opinion, now for the Biblical proof is in Thessalonians saying whoever is alive and left at the end will be raised but certainly not before the dead in Christ. So after the tribulation, Jesus comes back, raises the dead in Christ, and then the alive in Christ. Look, I know it may feel scary and worrisome but remember when u focus on Jesus nothing will bother u because God shields u. I will pray for u to get clarity and understanding on this tuff topic. God bless you. Repent and trust in Jesus.
I've been called a demon(or said, that I have a demon) because I do not believe in a pe trib rapture. Matthew 24:29-31, Jesus told us when He's coming back. Do not be deceived. Study the Word, seek the Holy Spirit to teach you the truth. Be a Berean, you'll be amazed at things you learn as He opens your understanding. The true gospel has been secularized and softened, with no personal responsibility, to conduct thier lives knowing that they are going to stand in the presence of a perfect, just and holy God, and you will be without excuse. Blessings to you all.
@@Pre-Tribulation You are indirectly calling Jesus a liar. Jesus said He was coming AFTER Tribulation Matt 24:29,30. To say He is coming before is directly contradicting Christ, imagine how you will feel when He asks you why you contradicted Him???
@@amyashleman106 you are wrong. Read Isaiah 26:19-21. Here is the sequence (1) God raises His People with HIS DEAD BODY. (2) God calls HIS PEOPLE into their chambers to hide until the indignation is over (3) Door is shut behind them (4) Then Jesus punishes the world for THEIR INIQUITY! We are hidden in the Father’s House. I am 100% sure it's escape then judgment as Days of Noah and Days of Lot
@@amyashleman106 if you believe we go into the Tribulation, then GET YOUR BUNKER IN ORDER with 7 years of food, water, and electricity before you start calling people liars you hypocrite!
@@amyashleman106 you're absolutely right! That's exactly what He said. A person literally has to twist the scriptures to make a pre-trib rapture work. You have to go what is plainly stated by Jesus, Daniel and Paul.
Can you explain when God is going to fulfill all of the promises made to Israel and how that ties into the tribulation and the new heaven and new earth where everything is burned up before being remade?
John is right about the rapture, what troubles me though is John's previous claim the Anti-christ, claiming to be God at the Temple (in 2 Thes 2), will take place at a Church somewhere. In Mathew 24, Jesus was asked explicitly about "THE sign of >>His comingthe end of the age
The Temple of God is the church. Christ is the cheif cornerstone and individual believers are living stones, built on the foundation of the Prophets and Apostles. Jesus said in Matt 23 second to last verse in the chapter, to the Jews that their house would be left desolate. Don't be deceived they will never be permitted to sacrifice ever again as Jesus is the perfect sacrifice. Daniel's 70th week already took place during the earthly ministry of Jesus.
You should read Luke 21:22 too. It’s cross reference with Matt24:15, Mark13:14 and Daniel9:26,27. ‘For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.’ Luke 21:22 NKJV That prophecy is about the Roman army (abomination) and the destruction (desolation) of Jerusalem and the temple. We are to focused on prophecy that’s already fulfilled. Think about it 1) It’s highly unlikely that animal sacrifice will be continued, even if the temple is physically rebuilt. If you watch closely, the slow upcoming one world religion is moving in a ‘sustainable save the planet peace on earth’ direction, meanwhile waging war against eating meat (animal products), food that makes us strong. 2) It’s also highly unlikely that somebody will literally proclaim himself God, and people will believe that. A mental asylum is the more likely next stop for such a person. And the first halve of Dan9:27 is about Jesus. The 70th week started with His ministry (3,5 years), He was the fulfillment and keeper of the covenant (with Abraham). In the middle of that week He died on the cross, ending the sacrifices (made clear by ripping the veil). The next 3,5 years was the preaching of the Gospel exclusively to the Jews. Until the death of Stefan. Than the believers where scattered and the Gospel goes definit to the gentils and the fate over Jerusalem was sealed. That’s the second halve of that verse.
@@lorimcneil8062 Id recommend watching this by Dr Brock Hollett, its a much deeper dive into the "Abomination" than my comment... th-cam.com/video/RC08wrd985I/w-d-xo.html
I'm not religious at all but I have a question. If judgement day is supposed to be 50,000 years, does that mean, according to Genesis, that God created the earth in 300,000 years rather than 6 days. Did he rest for 50,000 years? Could a biblical day actually be 50,000 years in relation to divine entities? edit: So if judgement day is 50,000 years, that would be 18,250,000 human relative days. with a population of about 7.9 billion, that means God would have to judge 433 people each human relative day or 18 people an hour. .3 people a minute.
FREE GRACERS: How do you get around this verse? “Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”” John 8:51 NKJV
Ephesians 1:13 has this sequence (1) We hear the Gospel, which is that Jesus died for our sins and rose again on 3rd day according to scriptures (2) we believe the Gospel (3) we are SEALED by the Holy Spirit until the Day of Redemption, Ephesians 4:30, which is the Pre-Tribulation Rapture.
@@DW-yl9ww where is repent and obey in the Gospel? The Gospel of Salvation is BELIEVING Jesus died for your sins and rose again on 3rd day according to scriptures. Repent means change of mind. You go from unbelief to belief! See Ephesians 1:13. Salvation is an EVENT, not a process. Discipleship is a process and learning God's Nature from His Word takes a lifetime
@@Pre-Tribulation START WITH HEBREWS 5:9, ACTS 5:32 AND JOHN 10:27 FOR OBEY AND THEN Revelation 2:5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
Or, the apostle could be refuting the claims of false teachers that the rapture had occurred (1Th 4) and the day of the Lord had already begun (1Th 5). The day of the Lord is a period of time vs. a single climactic event, indicated in v.2 by the word ἐνέστηκεν, “has already begun” (NLT). Many would see this period as a pouring forth of God’s final judgments on the remaining inhabitants of the earth (cf. Rev 6:16-17). Paul identifies the key events to take place during this final period of fallen human history, culminating in the visible return of Christ to the earth (v.8; cf. 2Th 1:7-10). The Lord Jesus originally described this period of time using similar language (which Paul echoes), and warns believers to “Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man” (Lk 21v.36). In other words, there are legitimate textual reasons to prefer a pre-trib view, and thus the ongoing debate which will not be resolved on this side of heaven.

Thank you Pastor Piper for your commitment to the Lord and his church. But I disagree. Jesus said in John 14 that he is coming back for us and that we will be with him. John the baptiser said who have warned you to flee from the wrath to come in Matthew 3. Also Paul said in 1 thessalonians 1 that God has not appointed us to wrath. But to optain salvation. Once again, thank you for your ministry.
Why is not the “relief” In 2 Thessalonians 1:6 the believers being raptured & then with the Lord for 7 years, and the “Repay with affliction THOSE” the unbeliever entering into the Great Tribulation? Of course “those” are not just those specific people who are afflicting those specific believers but all those (at the time of the rapture) who are afflicting the believers. Yes, the vengeance will be at His coming, but it could be the 3 1/2 years of God pouring out His wrath leading up to His coming. I am not dogmatic about the pre-trib rapture, but it seems like it could go either way.
A better explanation of the premillenial dispensational view would say the day of the Lord is a long time, a series of events which contains other things. The tribulation is included in the day of the Lord so you would not say the day of the Lord follows the tribulation. The tribulation (occupying most of Revelation) is a time of massive judgement on the earth like the day of the Lord period in Isaiah 2, 13, Ezekiel 30, Joel, Amos 5v18-20.
The Day of the LORD is an idiom still used today. "In my day a new car cost more than the gas to drive it home." A day can mean the time period of special significance, an era, a lifespan, etc.
Please answer these questions: 1) How many times does our Lord return? 2) Will we all die? 3) When is judgment? 4) Will we all face judgment? 5) What 2 or 3 verses from different prophets tell us "the church will be raptured" before the last day? I ask you to use scripture, not opinion....use verses to answer these simple questions.
With all due respect, the actual pretrib teaching about the Rapture is that it happens before the 7-year tribulation but does NOT start it. It's the signing of the treaty between the AC and Israel that starts the tribulation. As for the first argument, I always understood that the Christians asking Paul were upset because they thought the Rapture had occurred but they had been left behind. Why therefore would Paul reassure them by telling them that the reason it can't have occurred is that they are still here: it wouldn't reassure them.
Correct the seven year tribulation is tied in with the peace treaty that will finally come for Israel and Palinstine and other potential aggressors . The Antichrist will be the one likely to bring it and then the third temple gets built and the Antichrist will go into the temple 3.5 years into tribulation ( abomination of desolation) and reveal his true intentions. We are on the brink of world war 3. Watch what happens with Israel and keep ur eye on Emmanuel Macron. There’s some that think he might be the AC and if u do ur own research he certainly checks a lot of the boxes big time . He has Assyrian ties , student of the Jesuit , meteoric rise out of nowhere ….no kids …..list goes on and on. Many scholars believe the AC will rise out of the European Union and there’s a reason why that’s how movies like Meggeddo go that route .

I think Dr Andy Woods explains best these passages. Pipers own idea of rapture is not biblical where he says the rapture consists of us going up , meeting Jesus in the air and accompany Him back to earth....goodness where does Piper get this from? Please people let's be Bereans , not taking everything from popular preachers as all from God.
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” (1 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, 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).

The early church fathers around 100-300 AD also believed in a pre-trib. See Ken Johnson's book The Rapture. The idea was not invented by Darby in 1830.

@@Mikeman07825 If the promise to Philadelphia was a promise of a pretrib escape for the church, I feel bad for us all. 1) There were 7 churches in Asia Minor addressed in the Revelation. Only ONE of the seven was given that promise...the one that had already proven themselves faithful in severe persecution. All seven were claimed by Jesus as HIS CHURCH, only one promise. So, first off, if there is a pre-trib rapture, based on that alone the western church gets left out of the promise. 2) The word that the KJV translated as "Keep you from" (tereo) means to "Guard, support to allow one to stay in the place they are in." It was NOT a promise to whisk them off the planet, so they never had to face pain or death. It was a much more valuable, eternal promise. He would guard the SOULS of those suffering in tribulation so that they would not apostatize and lose everything. 3) If it was a promise of escape from the physical pains it was a failed promise. That very church (and the other 6 as well) was destroyed by the very same empire that followed the Romans (Rev. 17) and will (IMO) revive in the end of the Latter Days as the Beast Empire of Daniel and Revelation.

John Piper's argument based on the Greek word parousia, which means 'coming', is a good one. Here is a modified form of the argument: In 2 Thess 2:2, 'the day of the Lord' refers to the occasion when God will judge sinners. In 2 Thess 2:8, parousia refers to the occasion when God will judge sinners. So the parousia of 2 Thess 2:8 is the same occasion as 'the day of the Lord' of 2 Thess 2:2. In 2 Thess 2:1 (and 1 Thess 4:15), parousia refers to the occasion of the rapture. It makes sense to think that the parousia of 2 Thess 2:1 (and 1 Thess 4:15) is the same as the parousia of 2 Thess 2:8. Otherwise we would have to say that Paul uses the same Greek word in the same passage with 2 very different referents and without any indication in the context that he is changing referent. That would be very strange, to say the least. So because the parousia of 2 Thess 2:1 (and 1 Thess 4:15) refers to the occasion of the rapture, the parousia of 2 Thess 2:8 also refers to the occasion of the rapture. Because the parousia of 2 Thess 2:8 refers to the same occasion as 'the day of the Lord' of 2 Thess 2:2, 'the day of the Lord' in 2 Thess 2:2 is referring to the same occasion as the rapture. So God will judge sinners on the day of the rapture, not 7 years later.

In Revelation chapter 9 it says Rev 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. The only people that will have the seal of God on their foreheads will be people out of the 12 tribes of Israel, so Piper must believe that if you are a true born again Christian and not from one of the 12 tribes and you are here for that moment you will be tormented because those “locust” will be tormenting everyone without that seal on their forehead. There’s no indication anywhere in Revelation at that point and after that Christians are being protected by God from the wrath of God but it clearly states His chosen from the 12 tribes of Israel are, how strange to omit any mention of true born again believers unless they are not there.
Those from the 12 tribes of Israel stand for all God's saved people including Christians in New Covenant times. It is the same sort of idea that we find in, e.g., Gal 3:7: 'You know, then, that those who have faith, these are Abraham's sons.' Christians are spiritual sons of Abraham, i.e., spiritual Jews.
So many different views on rapture, Tribulation, etc. It drives me crazy! Is John piper right? Maybe, maybe not. Is John Macarthur right? Maybe, maybe not. Is any preacher in the US or here in England right? Maybe, maybe not. Only God knows. May we who believe keep looking to Jesus and not rely on multiple voices with differing views.
There is no pre trib rapture!! I am still waiting for one person to show one verse in scripture that says there is a rapture before the tribulation of the last days. But anyone who actually studies scripture can show many verses saying Jesus is coming back on the last day . People are deceived even these world famous teachers who are telling you what your itching ears want to hear
Thank God Mr. Piper has distanced himself from the Preterist heresy. Were it not for the Scriptures NO ONE could be saved, for they are the only source material for the Gospel. O Christian, read your Bible!
Let all stead fast in their belief. This belief will not save anyone or acceptable to Jesus Christ. In world famous films the scenario is unfolded. The villain comes and do all his atrocities to his adversary the good character and then defeated. Then the good character pardon him and give another chance .The villain did never change his ways and try to kill the other. Then he was killed finally. All are satisfied in the film. That is applied in return of Christ. That is all. The villains who were not changed for 70 years will not change in seven years. God know everything will act accordingly. I have never find any clear scripture of seven year special tribulations for end time believers only. That is the end time believers are the only worst sinners and their sin is above the sins of all others live before it and died. That is not sensible and righteousness in the part of God.
Yup but you'll see him this year hides as it says but don't look up God knows who believes it's post tribulation and I try to show the filled prophecy in the Bible show them the truth get non believers to see the truth 😊✌️
Desiring God, it's typical of John Piper to show his ignorance of the Bible AGAIN. John Piper also uses an erroneous Bible translation, which goes nicely with his erroneous beliefs. In relation to the coming great tribulation period, both Jesus and Paul said we won't go through it. John Piper is a deceiver, DO NOT believe him.

One day, I had the impression of seeing a bright light, and when I looked over at my partner, I saw that he was crying. Now that I'm back at work, I'm proud of myself. People seek guidance on how to assist them every day .
I greatly appreciate you too! I consider you a great teacher and preacher! For the life of me, I cannot understand Why So Many Christians are caught up in the pre-trib theory. Some men that I have respected for years. This is so clear in Thessalonians. I would say thirdly, that right in the first few verses We are warned to not be deceived. My belief is Many/ Millions of Christians will simply fall away because of this false belief! More people need to read through the Bible for themselves and stop relying so much about being taught. I even recommend reading different versions! Amen, Pastor John, have a blessed day!
Clear teaching and couldn’t agree more!
This series of study on the second coming is so glorious! I eagerly anticipate each new episode! My heart is overflowing with joy and expectancy for Jesus to return and establish His kingdom on the earth and I get to MARVEL at His ruling the earth in perfect justice and righteousness and I get the privilege to be His emissary in the playing out of practical righteousness and justice in the land, using the gifts he’s so graciously given me. Marvel!
Pretty amazing that 2 great teachers like Dr Piper and Dr MacArthur have opposite positions on this issue. As a young Christian I went from pretrib to posttrib and back as I found both positions could be successfully argued from the texts. Till I thought of Enoch raptured before the Flood and Noah and his family being taken out of it, and later of Lot and his family being taken out of Sodom before its destruction. There seems to be a clear pattern there. Recently my view was strengthened by 5 things: 1st the Church is absent from Revelation from ch 4 (and come up here) till the last chapters. 2nd The tribulation is called the time of Jacob's trouble: it concerns Israel and its salvation, not the Church. It's also the time of God's wrath, His wrath cannot be unleashed against Christ's bride 3) Jesus's words "if those times weren't shortened, no one would be saved" only makes sense if there's a millennium right after the 2nd Coming where those people who survived the tribulation will live. 4) I'm told that the first disciples expected Christ's return at any time till after the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD and the dispersion of Israel, then they knew it wasn't going to happen soon. Finally dispensationalism (applied to eschatology only) explained many things I could not understand about Scriptures. We will see whether the marriage of the Lamb takes place in Heaven during the tribulation on earth or after. :) In any case, Maranatha, Lord Jesus!
I loved reading what you wrote. I have gone back and forth about the rapture also. I keep praying for wisdom.
Appreciate your comments on pretrib position. I believe the Church being the beloved of Christ, would be kept away from 7 years trib that falls on the whole unbelieving world.

@@eppiegallegos102 thank you so much!! I can’t wait to sit down and look at all the scriptures!! Thank you!!
This was a learning day for me , I've heard this content before , but i received it different today
I greatly appreciate Pastor John’s straightforward, common-sense interpretation and teaching of these and other pertaining passages (his conclusions are the same as my own). Given that some respected reformed teachers draw conclusions from these scriptures that make me sometimes wonder why I even bother reading and trying to understand the Bible for myself, this approach re-enforces my belief that scripture was meant to be understood by the common believer.
help us to be ready Lord and give us the strength to endure regardless of when you return
Thank you so much for your teachings such a blessing!
Pre-trib teachers seem to ignore Rev 20:4-6. "This is the first resurrection. The rest of the dead do not come to life until after the 1,000 years are completed." There is only one resurrection before the 1,000 years! All the scriptures used by Pre-trib teachers are applicable to a post-trib rapture. Teach the truth. Teach: The sacrifices will start and end before Jesus returns. We rise in the first and only resurrection before the 1,000 years with the two witnesses on the day Jesus returns!
Pastor I'm with you on this teaching South Africa 🇿🇦
I believe this to be correct, besides the part where Jesus doesn't go back to heaven. The Day is revealed in the 6th seal, but right after that the saints that have been through the tribulation are standing before the throne and before the Lamb. This makes me think that Jesus is going to come rescue the saints before His wrath is poured out upon the earth, but I do agree that this is after the tribulation. I'm open for someone to reason this out with. I have pondered these things and I desire to know the truth about it.
Thank you! ❤
Have you ever noticed pre-trib teachers NEVER use the teachings of Jesus??? In Jn5:28-29 Jesus said ALL THAT ARE IN THE GRAVES SHALL COME FORTH (Just and unjust together) NO time period between. To God be the Glory
We can see the birth pains and we can see the rebellion taking place.
*pangs-and yes what’s happening now is extremely painful too.
Out of sight, out of mind. An escape of bad thoughts, bad intentions, and consciousness. An esscape... In Christ's name Amen. ❤️
I think what makes people believe the pretrib is that nobody wants to be here when the antichrist is persecuting and killing God's people. That desire to not be here causes many people to twist the scriptures to say what they want it to say. Jesus was quite plain in matthew 24. It's even plain in the opening of the seals in Revelation when the saints that die during that time ask God how long before he would come and avenge their deaths.. He says just a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. Then he opens the 6th seal and the sun and moon go dark just like in matthew 24:29. Add that with what Daniel said and there you go.

They don’t understand history either. The believers were here on earth when the antichrist and his inquisition killed thousands upon thousands. We will be here when history (probably) is going to repeat itself.
Yes sir that's correct teaching i agree with you!!
I was concerned why very known preachers of sound doctrine that I respect and hear were saying pre rapture. For a moment i thought could I be wrong? For many years I have believed in Christ coming at the end. My eyes were opened by only reading carefully Matthew 24. With my husband now we are teaching it and warning believers to wake up and change their ways. Some believers don't like even hearing that Christ is coming soon. Shouldn't this be out blessed hope and joy?
Those well known pastors are called out in Jeremiah 23:1. Hear both the Old Testament and New Testament describe the rapture: th-cam.com/video/EdpYlsoHBIY/w-d-xo.html
Amen. The Rapture is under severe attack precisely because it'll soon happen. Imagine what a witness it'll be for the unbelievers who have been told about it by Christians! But if most Christians don't believe it, they don't mention it, and unbelievers will accept any other explanation for the disappearance of so many people.

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness( 1Jn 2:15-29; James 4:4 )in them ( the apostate people of God )that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth, ( the real true Gospel , they were spiritually blind to truth Isa 66:4), that they might be saved.11.

The church of Christ Jesus will prevail and come out victoriously and give her life for the Master and Saviour Jesus Christ our Lord. Rev 6:9-11; Rev 13:7; Rev 12:11; and Rev 15:2; Rev 20:4,6l
Hold fast to what you are teaching-- no matter how many times your accused of having a demon, like I have been accused of.
You know, I really hate the division that this brings with it, but Jesus said what He said. Paul said what he said, and the both match perfectly.
You cannot make a pre-trib rapture work without manipulating the scriptures and discarding what Jesus said, altogether.
My fear is that, those that believe in a pre-trib rapture may just be the ones that fall away once God sends the deluding spirit upon the church.
"Many will come to Me in that day and say, 'Lord, did we not prophesy in Your Name? And in Your Name, did we not cast out demons?'
"And I will say to them, 'Away from Me, I never knew you.'"
"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Word will never pass away. "
@@eppiegallegos102 amen.
When we meet Christ in the air(the rapture) there’s no judgment. They’re different.
The subject of those verses is the dead in Christ specifically. We may not reasonably say that we are given the full picture of other things that will happen. Nowhere do those verses say, "and there was no judgment."
The judgement seatt of Christ is in Romans 14 and 2 Cor 5..

Our minds are in the sky.
EXCELLENT!
Matthew 24 29 through 31 pretty much says what you need to know that it's obviously post-trib and not pre-trib
What do you do with Isa 26:18-20?
What chamber with a door is being talked about?
What do you do with Rev 12, is it an event that already happened and if so why is it in the middle of Revelation? Why would we need to know of an event that happened over 2000 years ago?
Who is it in Rev 19:14 that is clothed in fine linen if it is not rapture believers? They come out of heaven, and how come there is no mention of the dead rising and the believers rising up to meet Christ in Rev 19? We are told it is the marriage of the lamb.
Why are the virgins waiting? If we are rapture at the end, we know the exact day of His coming, because we know the date of the abomination?
With all do respect, you are hanging a lot on terms like "meet", and "appearance".
The book of Revelation isn't meant to be taken in chronological order. It recaps a lot.
I disagree, a lot of chronology is found there. If not what is its purpose? Is God wasting our time on something that is all symbols? I have never found God to put anything in the scriptures for no reason. He expects us to dig and pull His entire word together into His logical understandable plan.
Please don't take my comment as criticism of anyone, just sharpening each other with challenges. I think the author of these video are awesome. I have learned a lot. Maranatha
That was John who went up to heaven not the church.
@@amyashleman106 *You never knew God's word well enough to recognize any of the thousands of blasphemous and obvious changes the Antichrist made in your own bible, so keep your mouth shut little girl.*
@@ferdinandthebull286 You ask if God is wasting our time on something that is all symbols. But if the whole purpose of the book is to provide symbols that mean something, then there is no waste of time.
The book of Revelation is a book of symbols, where things in John's visionary world correspond to things in our real world. That is the whole nature of the book. It isn't like a series of photographs of things that will happen.
So, for example, in Rev 13 we read of 2 animals with heads and horns etc. These are symbols. We are not supposed to think that these 2 animals will some day literally exist.
Similarly, the 144,000 redeemed in chs. 7 and 14 is a symbolic number: 12 x 12 x 1000. It doesn't mean that there will literally be 144,000 of the redeemed.
Rapture and many other things are things of God, I guess.
It's deep and mysterious. It's in the mind of God. While we have "hints," by grace, we leave this thing to God.
Honestly, all things are from God.
Now, we are "ought" to pray, asking the grace of God to lead us to the one that pleases him -- to his One and Only Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, to DEPEND on him for everything in this life and in eternal.
Man is sinful and weak.
Man has no understanding.
We depend on the Lord Jesus Christ.
hansja,
Amos 3:7 says that God does NOTHING unless he first tells his prophets. Not "hints" or "expects you to infer what is not written." Nothing. Everything we need to know was written. The important things were written at least twice.
Something as important as a pretrib rapture surely deserved one sentence anywhere in the Bible? If it were true.
Amen, post tribulation rapture.
nope - pre my friend. Noah and Lot escaped - the Philadelphia Church will be kept FROM ......- peace.
@@Mikeman07825 comparisons from Old Testament to support the argument of pre tribulation vs using actual Biblical evidence where Paul and John talk about how it will all play out. Do not have false hope. Of course we all want pre tribulation rapture but we need to be tested and experience the ultimate test. So stop looking up like Paul told the Thessalonians, Jesus is not coming back until the man of lawlessness is revealed. We will experience the tribulation and need to stand firm as Paul says and tell people not to take the mark of the beast cause if they do, they will go to hell and not be saved. But if only unbelievers r here then it doesn’t make sense to have this great deception and mark of the beast if they r all going to hell anyway. Not that’s my personal opinion, now for the Biblical proof is in Thessalonians saying whoever is alive and left at the end will be raised but certainly not before the dead in Christ. So after the tribulation, Jesus comes back, raises the dead in Christ, and then the alive in Christ. Look, I know it may feel scary and worrisome but remember when u focus on Jesus nothing will bother u because God shields u. I will pray for u to get clarity and understanding on this tuff topic. God bless you. Repent and trust in Jesus.

@@nancykennedy8982but it wasn't a mystery either....
I've been called a demon(or said, that I have a demon) because I do not believe in a pe trib rapture.

Do not be deceived. Study the Word, seek the Holy Spirit to teach you the truth.
Be a Berean, you'll be amazed at things you learn as He opens your understanding.
The true gospel has been secularized and softened, with no personal responsibility, to conduct thier lives knowing that they are going to stand in the presence of a perfect, just and holy God, and you will be without excuse.
Blessings to you all.
The return is not the Rapture. The Rapture is ESCAPE then Judgment as Days of Noah and Days of Lot.

Are you premill or amil? Trying to discern that piece.....thanks!
Can you explain when God is going to fulfill all of the promises made to Israel and how that ties into the tribulation and the new heaven and new earth where everything is burned up before being remade?
John is right about the rapture, what troubles me though is John's previous claim the Anti-christ, claiming to be God at the Temple (in 2 Thes 2), will take place at a Church somewhere.
In Mathew 24, Jesus was asked explicitly about "THE sign of >>His comingthe end of the age
I couldnt agree more
My question is, why would the Lord allow sacrifice again? Jesus was the perfect sacrifice and the last sacrifice. It is finished! Good for thought.
The Temple of God is the church. Christ is the cheif cornerstone and individual believers are living stones, built on the foundation of the Prophets and Apostles. Jesus said in Matt 23 second to last verse in the chapter, to the Jews that their house would be left desolate. Don't be deceived they will never be permitted to sacrifice ever again as Jesus is the perfect sacrifice. Daniel's 70th week already took place during the earthly ministry of Jesus.
You should read Luke 21:22 too. It’s cross reference with Matt24:15, Mark13:14 and Daniel9:26,27.
‘For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.’
Luke 21:22 NKJV
That prophecy is about the Roman army (abomination) and the destruction (desolation) of Jerusalem and the temple.
We are to focused on prophecy that’s already fulfilled.
Think about it
1) It’s highly unlikely that animal sacrifice will be continued, even if the temple is physically rebuilt. If you watch closely, the slow upcoming one world religion is moving in a ‘sustainable save the planet peace on earth’ direction, meanwhile waging war against eating meat (animal products), food that makes us strong.
2) It’s also highly unlikely that somebody will literally proclaim himself God, and people will believe that. A mental asylum is the more likely next stop for such a person.
And the first halve of Dan9:27 is about Jesus. The 70th week started with His ministry (3,5 years), He was the fulfillment and keeper of the covenant (with Abraham). In the middle of that week He died on the cross, ending the sacrifices (made clear by ripping the veil). The next 3,5 years was the preaching of the Gospel exclusively to the Jews. Until the death of Stefan.
Than the believers where scattered and the Gospel goes definit to the gentils and the fate over Jerusalem was sealed. That’s the second halve of that verse.
@@lorimcneil8062 Id recommend watching this by Dr Brock Hollett, its a much deeper dive into the "Abomination" than my comment...

I'm not religious at all but I have a question. If judgement day is supposed to be 50,000 years, does that mean, according to Genesis, that God created the earth in 300,000 years rather than 6 days. Did he rest for 50,000 years? Could a biblical day actually be 50,000 years in relation to divine entities?
edit:
So if judgement day is 50,000 years, that would be 18,250,000 human relative days. with a population of about 7.9 billion, that means God would have to judge 433 people each human relative day or 18 people an hour. .3 people a minute.
FREE GRACERS: How do you get around this verse? “Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”” John 8:51 NKJV
What's your point, or how does that refute the fact that grace is unmerited favor from God?
Ephesians 1:13 has this sequence (1) We hear the Gospel, which is that Jesus died for our sins and rose again on 3rd day according to scriptures (2) we believe the Gospel (3) we are SEALED by the Holy Spirit until the Day of Redemption, Ephesians 4:30, which is the Pre-Tribulation Rapture.
@@Pre-Tribulation you left out repent and obey
@@DW-yl9ww where is repent and obey in the Gospel? The Gospel of Salvation is BELIEVING Jesus died for your sins and rose again on 3rd day according to scriptures. Repent means change of mind. You go from unbelief to belief! See Ephesians 1:13. Salvation is an EVENT, not a process. Discipleship is a process and learning God's Nature from His Word takes a lifetime

The rapture _is_ "the coming of the Lord". 1 Thessalonians 4:15.
Amen.
Amen!
Or, the apostle could be refuting the claims of false teachers that the rapture had occurred (1Th 4) and the day of the Lord had already begun (1Th 5). The day of the Lord is a period of time vs. a single climactic event, indicated in v.2 by the word ἐνέστηκεν, “has already begun” (NLT). Many would see this period as a pouring forth of God’s final judgments on the remaining inhabitants of the earth (cf. Rev 6:16-17). Paul identifies the key events to take place during this final period of fallen human history, culminating in the visible return of Christ to the earth (v.8; cf. 2Th 1:7-10).
The Lord Jesus originally described this period of time using similar language (which Paul echoes), and warns believers to “Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man” (Lk 21v.36).
In other words, there are legitimate textual reasons to prefer a pre-trib view, and thus the ongoing debate which will not be resolved on this side of heaven.
Enesteken doesn't have to be translated 'has already begun'.
2THESS 2:1. Now we beseech you, brethren , by the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ ( before Jesus Christ comes in the clouds of glory, His coming in His saints it's called the epiphanie a corporate body of the man - child ministry, the 2 witnesses to minister to the church in the tribulation Rev 12:5,6; 2Thess 1:10, Hos 6:1-3; psalm 149:5-9; Isa 60:1,2; Acts 2:16-21; Rev 10:9-11; to preach the everlasting gospel to all creation ), and by our gathering together unto Him ( we gather unto Jesus Christ not religion nor denominations or man ) 2.

Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things ( the apostle Paul always warned the church of Christ Jesus ) ? 6. And now ye know what withholdeth ( restraineth means to hold back ) that he ( the son of perdition ) might be revealed in his time ( let's go back to verse 3 and will see when the son of perdition will be revealed at the falling away first ).7. For the mystery of iniquity ( lawlessness ) doth already work ( it was already working in Paul's day ): only he ( the Holy Ghost ) who now letteth will let, until he ( the son of perdition ) be taken out of the way, or come out of the midst ( it's a corporate body of son of perdition in the temple of Christ spiritualy speaking, just as Judas iscariot was, the disciples didn't have a clue it was Judas iscariot until he betrayed Jesus Christ with a kiss, when he dip the Sop into the dish satan entered him, and history is going to repeat itself again, the sons of perdition are going to betray the brothers to death. Matt 24:9,10 ) 8. And then shall that Wicked be revealed ( in the NT, they are corporate bodies, Jesus has His body and that's the true church in means called out one's out of religious babylonian churches . Satan also has a body and it's all the children of disobedience among the people of God, the tares, and the goat's, they have a anti christ spirit ). Whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming.9. Even him ( it's a corporate body of false prophets, Jesus said many false prophets not prophet but many would come in His name. Many serve a different Jesus and a different gospel) whose coming is after the working of Satan ( that's his body the sons of perdition 2Cor 11:4,13-15; Gal 1:6-9 )with all power and signs (all kinds of deceptions, and counterfeit,) and lying wonders.( Jesus saidm if it were possible the elect could be deceived )10. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness( 1Jn 2:15-29; James 4:4 )in them ( the apostate people of God )that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth, ( the real true Gospel , they were spiritually blind to truth Isa 66:4), that they might be saved.11. And for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion, ( listen now ) that they should believe a lie ( such as a pre- rapture ) : That they all might damned who believe not the Truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." My brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus our Lord said He would send the comforter the Holy Ghost and He would be with us and in us, and lead us into all truth. If you have the love of the truth you will not be deceived by the false prophets, and many doctrines of religion and denominations out there. CHRIST IS NOT DIVIDED INTO RELIGION OR DENOMINATIONS.

You ain't going to fly away, or be raptured up unless you die before the tribulation. The church of Christ Jesus will prevail and come out victoriously and give her life for the Master and Saviour Jesus Christ our Lord. Rev 6:9-11; Rev 13:7; Rev 12:11; and Rev 15:2; Rev 20:4,6l
Thank you Pastor Piper for your commitment to the Lord and his church. But I disagree. Jesus said in John 14 that he is coming back for us and that we will be with him. John the baptiser said who have warned you to flee from the wrath to come in Matthew 3. Also Paul said in 1 thessalonians 1 that God has not appointed us to wrath. But to optain salvation. Once again, thank you for your ministry.

Trib 1260
Return for us
Wrath 1040
Armageddon, return with us
Millenium,
Why is not the “relief” In 2 Thessalonians 1:6 the believers being raptured & then with the Lord for 7 years, and the “Repay with affliction THOSE” the unbeliever entering into the Great Tribulation? Of course “those” are not just those specific people who are afflicting those specific believers but all those (at the time of the rapture) who are afflicting the believers. Yes, the vengeance will be at His coming, but it could be the 3 1/2 years of God pouring out His wrath leading up to His coming. I am not dogmatic about the pre-trib rapture, but it seems like it could go either way.
A better explanation of the premillenial dispensational view would say the day of the Lord is a long time, a series of events which contains other things. The tribulation is included in the day of the Lord so you would not say the day of the Lord follows the tribulation. The tribulation (occupying most of Revelation) is a time of massive judgement on the earth like the day of the Lord period in Isaiah 2, 13, Ezekiel 30, Joel, Amos 5v18-20.
The Day of the LORD is an idiom still used today. "In my day a new car cost more than the gas to drive it home." A day can mean the time period of special significance, an era, a lifespan, etc.

Please answer these questions:
1) How many times does our Lord return?
2) Will we all die?
3) When is judgment?
4) Will we all face judgment?
5) What 2 or 3 verses from different prophets tell us "the church will be raptured" before the last day?
I ask you to use scripture, not opinion....use verses to answer these simple questions.
Trollin' away here too I see, 'eh Mcgee? *SMH*
@@Kman. simple questions
With all due respect, the actual pretrib teaching about the Rapture is that it happens before the 7-year tribulation but does NOT start it. It's the signing of the treaty between the AC and Israel that starts the tribulation. As for the first argument, I always understood that the Christians asking Paul were upset because they thought the Rapture had occurred but they had been left behind. Why therefore would Paul reassure them by telling them that the reason it can't have occurred is that they are still here: it wouldn't reassure them.
Correct the seven year tribulation is tied in with the peace treaty that will finally come for Israel and Palinstine and other potential aggressors . The Antichrist will be the one likely to bring it and then the third temple gets built and the Antichrist will go into the temple 3.5 years into tribulation ( abomination of desolation) and reveal his true intentions.
We are on the brink of world war 3. Watch what happens with Israel and keep ur eye on Emmanuel Macron. There’s some that think he might be the AC and if u do ur own research he certainly checks a lot of the boxes big time . He has Assyrian ties , student of the Jesuit , meteoric rise out of nowhere ….no kids …..list goes on and on.
Many scholars believe the AC will rise out of the European Union and there’s a reason why that’s how movies like Meggeddo go that route .
Likely the false prophet will be pope or tied to the city onseven hills (can’t think of the name off hand ) .
We are close imo

I think Dr Andy Woods explains best these passages. Pipers own idea of rapture is not biblical where he says the rapture consists of us going up , meeting Jesus in the air and accompany Him back to earth....goodness where does Piper get this from?
Please people let's be Bereans , not taking everything from popular preachers as all from God.
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” (1 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, 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).

The pre trib is only taught in the western world and it has only been an idea for about 100 years ,
The early church fathers around 100-300 AD also believed in a pre-trib. See Ken Johnson's book The Rapture. The idea was not invented by Darby in 1830.
@@lewtube6436 have you read Mathew 24 ?
It has not only been an idea for about 100 years. Lewtube is correct about early church fathers believed in pre-trib.
@@gordo191 *Matt 24* has nothing to do with the church, sorry. Oh...and lemme answer for Lewtube if I may...
I would almost bet my pinky fingernail, that "YES", he has read *Matt 24* before, smh.
@@Kman.ok then who is Mathew 24 about please don't tell me it is only for the jews , Just be careful if you are waiting for a pre trib you might not be prepared for tribulation and you will not know what to do , tell me why is pre trib only taught in the western churches and not to many churches preach it ,
He who lives by the crystal ball soon learns to eat shattered glass.. I think eschatology is written obscured in the same way was the first coming
Me too we don’t really know the details that’s the bottom line
If so, does it mean that the Church goes through the tribulation period?
nope - "as in the days of Noah and Lot - people will be eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage... - does that sound like the hell of the tribulation? - Please read the promise to the Philadelphia Church - God promises to keep them FROM this time... -Peace.
But I think it means people were not aware oh what was coming and Noah and Lot were not taken out of the world
@@Mikeman07825 If the promise to Philadelphia was a promise of a pretrib escape for the church, I feel bad for us all.
1) There were 7 churches in Asia Minor addressed in the Revelation. Only ONE of the seven was given that promise...the one that had already proven themselves faithful in severe persecution. All seven were claimed by Jesus as HIS CHURCH, only one promise. So, first off, if there is a pre-trib rapture, based on that alone the western church gets left out of the promise.
2) The word that the KJV translated as "Keep you from" (tereo) means to "Guard, support to allow one to stay in the place they are in." It was NOT a promise to whisk them off the planet, so they never had to face pain or death. It was a much more valuable, eternal promise. He would guard the SOULS of those suffering in tribulation so that they would not apostatize and lose everything.
3) If it was a promise of escape from the physical pains it was a failed promise. That very church (and the other 6 as well) was destroyed by the very same empire that followed the Romans (Rev. 17) and will (IMO) revive in the end of the Latter Days as the Beast Empire of Daniel and Revelation.
@@Mikeman07825 People were eating and drinking, marrying, etc. when Turkey was making life unbearable in Syria. They were doing these things on 9/11/01 and 9/12, and 9/13 and all through COVID, during the Holocaust, in every single catastrophic event and disaster, the human (and animal) mind cravers normalcy. We do as much of what is our norm or routine as we can possibly manage.
the scripture says that we will if the last days are in our generation.
John Piper's argument based on the Greek word parousia, which means 'coming', is a good one. Here is a modified form of the argument:
In 2 Thess 2:2, 'the day of the Lord' refers to the occasion when God will judge sinners.
In 2 Thess 2:8, parousia refers to the occasion when God will judge sinners.
So the parousia of 2 Thess 2:8 is the same occasion as 'the day of the Lord' of 2 Thess 2:2.
In 2 Thess 2:1 (and 1 Thess 4:15), parousia refers to the occasion of the rapture.
It makes sense to think that the parousia of 2 Thess 2:1 (and 1 Thess 4:15) is the same as the parousia of 2 Thess 2:8. Otherwise we would have to say that Paul uses the same Greek word in the same passage with 2 very different referents and without any indication in the context that he is changing referent. That would be very strange, to say the least.
So because the parousia of 2 Thess 2:1 (and 1 Thess 4:15) refers to the occasion of the rapture, the parousia of 2 Thess 2:8 also refers to the occasion of the rapture.
Because the parousia of 2 Thess 2:8 refers to the same occasion as 'the day of the Lord' of 2 Thess 2:2, 'the day of the Lord' in 2 Thess 2:2 is referring to the same occasion as the rapture.
So God will judge sinners on the day of the rapture, not 7 years later.
You have a bad translation.

The only people that will have the seal of God on their foreheads will be people out of the 12 tribes of Israel, so Piper must believe that if you are a true born again Christian and not from one of the 12 tribes and you are here for that moment you will be tormented because those “locust” will be tormenting everyone without that seal on their forehead. There’s no indication anywhere in Revelation at that point and after that Christians are being protected by God from the wrath of God but it clearly states His chosen from the 12 tribes of Israel are, how strange to omit any mention of true born again believers unless they are not there.
Those from the 12 tribes of Israel stand for all God's saved people including Christians in New Covenant times. It is the same sort of idea that we find in, e.g., Gal 3:7:
'You know, then, that those who have faith, these are Abraham's sons.'
Christians are spiritual sons of Abraham, i.e., spiritual Jews.
So many different views on rapture, Tribulation, etc. It drives me crazy!
Is John piper right? Maybe, maybe not. Is John Macarthur right? Maybe, maybe not. Is any preacher in the US or here in England right? Maybe, maybe not.
Only God knows. May we who believe keep looking to Jesus and not rely on multiple voices with differing views.
There is no pre trib rapture!! I am still waiting for one person to show one verse in scripture that says there is a rapture before the tribulation of the last days. But anyone who actually studies scripture can show many verses saying Jesus is coming back on the last day . People are deceived even these world famous teachers who are telling you what your itching ears want to hear
Harvest is the next thing . 120 the jubilee come on 2030. 120X50=6000. 7000 year is sabbath/rest.
Thank God Mr. Piper has distanced himself from the Preterist heresy. Were it not for the Scriptures NO ONE could be saved, for they are the only source material for the Gospel. O Christian, read your Bible!
Let all stead fast in their belief. This belief will not save anyone or acceptable to Jesus Christ. In world famous films the scenario is unfolded. The villain comes and do all his atrocities to his adversary the good character and then defeated. Then the good character pardon him and give another chance .The villain did never change his ways and try to kill the other. Then he was killed finally. All are satisfied in the film. That is applied in return of Christ. That is all. The villains who were not changed for 70 years will not change in seven years. God know everything will act accordingly. I have never find any clear scripture of seven year special tribulations for end time believers only. That is the end time believers are the only worst sinners and their sin is above the sins of all others live before it and died. That is not sensible and righteousness in the part of God.
Listen: “Rapture Vision - Tremendous Panic | Prophet Dr. David Owuor | January 9, 2023” on Repent and Come Out of The Great Tribulation.
Yup but you'll see him this year hides as it says but don't look up God knows who believes it's post tribulation and I try to show the filled prophecy in the Bible show them the truth get non believers to see the truth 😊✌️
The love of money is the root of all evil. Do yourself a favour and give it away. Invest in heaven.
Send your money to me!!!
Amen! May calvinism burn in hell. Amen!
How loving! 🙄
@@HearGodsWord no calvinist is saved.
@@frenkvortice3858 thanks for your unloving opinion.
Desiring God, it's typical of John Piper to show his ignorance of the Bible AGAIN.
John Piper also uses an erroneous Bible translation, which goes nicely with his erroneous beliefs.
In relation to the coming great tribulation period, both Jesus and Paul said we won't go through it.
John Piper is a deceiver, DO NOT believe him.
What are the verses where Lord Jesus and Paul said that the church won't go to great tribulation?
@user-qb7lu5ny5r have you ever thought about reading the Bible?.
You should try it, then you'll find where the Bible teaches the pre-tribulation rapture.
@@alanhales1123That sure sounds like a snarky answer to what could be a genuinely sincere question. Could you rethink your initial response and maybe answer him with a few verses? (And this is a humble request by someone who has in fact read the Bible cover to cover dozens of times over his 57 years of life).
@@YankeeStacking If you have read the Bible, Then why don't you believe it??.
If you knew the Bible, you would know how erroneous John Piper is.
Your attacks should be aimed at the Biblically ignorant John Piper, Not at me.
