I’ve been smoking weed for 18 years. Quit 17 days ago. I told God I want out...got rid of anything related to it and prayed. I asked God to take this burden away from me...feeling great 👍 I listen to your channel all the time and it helps me stay focused...I quit drinking 4 years ago...looking forward to living a sober life and giving praise to God. Thanks Jeff!
God's gottcha honey!
Dude! I've been on and off weed for 18 years and just 8 days ago quit and started going to a 12 step group. Cool! Keep it up bro! It's super important to be in a local church and be accountable to others who can pray for you and encourage you.
Right on Jeremy!! I quit weed for good last year after exactly 20years of daily/all day use...gotta consciously give each day to the Lord!! I never realized how big of a wall herb & or drinks put up between us and the Holy Spirit...plus weed & alcohol are doors for the enemy to use at his leisure. Well done brother & God bless!!!
Amen bro!! Glory to God
Bro post your journey; you on insta?
when jeff said " im not your pastor" I was like dang lol, im currently without a church at the moment, i ask for prayers that the lord will lead me to a very biblical church, hopefully reformed. Im new to Reformed theology and i love it.
Have you found a Church yet?
Me too! My former SBC church has steadily gone the way of 'woke' SJW churches with watered down preaching.
Your body is your temple your church ,iv never had a church but i can read and understand, go to god with a pure heart and ask for knowledge, he will send you the holy spirit to guide you through the scriptures!
Me as well:)
@@randycadkins not yet. Pls keep praying for me
Amazing! Being brought up premil i always had issue with things not lining up! Now i am a postmil preterist and breathe easier knowing the Truth!
Halleluyah my friend!
This teaching is very important. I have been studying eschatology since 1984 (I was 13).
This subject caused me great mental pain because I could never get it to fit properly because of all the false teachings out there.
I finally started to figure it out recently and you have confirmed it in your studies. Although I agree we should not dis-fellowship over the issue, it is a vitally important study
Do you know who would be the anti christ under this interpretation? Not an individual? Genuinely curious. I see this viewpoint making a ton of sense too, but other parts of scripture come to mind that I’m not sure how to reconcile yet.
@@LaurenCombsArt you should look into r.c. Sprout explaining it. There’s a series on Amazon prime
@@LaurenCombsArt Check out, Douglas Wilsons perspective on the Antichrist, very interesting! This video: "Identity of the Antichrist: DA Carson VS Doug Wilson" was very helpful, start it from 3:59 if you are not interested in DA Carsons view
@@LaurenCombsArt
Dr Kenneth Gentry is a great source... He comes to the same conclusion as Gary Demar (uncle Gary :) and our dear departed RC Sproul .......
You can find them all on TH-cam.
And David Chilton’s Days of Vengeance is a wonderful exposition of Revelation..
EDIT: Professor Bruce Gore also has a verse by verse study on Revelation..
All these wonderful men of God interpret the scriptures using audience relevance as their hermeneutic..
God bless you in your quest for truth ❤️🙏🏽
@@LaurenCombsArt The Beast from Revelation is Nero Caesar, he is also the Man of Lawlessness. The antiChrist was a doctrinal tendency within a church, only found in 4 passages throughout the Bible in 1John 2:18, 22; 4:3; and 2 John 7. The antiChrist was a 1st century thing, it was not a single person.
Preaching that even an amillennial guy like me can enjoy! Thank you!
Trail Reeves hallelujah brother love you in the name of Jesus Christ ♥️♥️♥️
The more I consider this (I don't even think it's up for debate at this point LOL) the more I can't help but wonder if certain (false) doctrines in modern Christianity were maliciously created in order to dissuade more people from accepting Christ for who He truly is, and historically/prophetically PROVED IT.
The bitterness of realizing just how saturated almost EVERY church is with the doctrine of futurism is QUICKLY overcome with an even stronger conviction and appreciation that Christ is indeed Lord, not liar, nor lunatic.
Agree...western christianity is utterly saturated with dispensationalism.
I like how LONG Jeff preaches, it’s refreshing that he doesn’t shorten the message to PLEASE all the complaining Christians
You get SO MUCH from just one message! its such a blessing!
It probably helps that their church service is at 4pm. People already ate and don’t have their empty stomachs nagging at them lol
@@farmerpete0768 I didn't know their service was at that time, that's a pretty good time to have service! Do you know if they just have the one service?
roger mathews, I’m not 100% sure. My gut says just the one, but that’s just from the clues and details I’ve picked up from watching them for 2 years
I always say that people are free to leave preaching whenever they wish. I could listen to my pastor a lot longer than the 35 minutes he preaches. That's when I love these sermons on YT that I can listen to at work.
I loved many things about this message but the biggest love is the conclusion. God loves us and is merciful.
Thanks
Blessed I struggled with Daniel 9 for a long time, all sorts of nonsense was abounding, thank you Jeff for this insight. much to consider.
Wow! Say it backwards..Wow! That was very refreshing.
Thank you, Lord, for your amazing covenant promises! You alone are worthy of all praise!
I loved the statement at the beginning about being plugged in to the local church. I love serving my church and serving with my church. God is great!
My Goodness! How this was hidden from me for so many years!? It is amazing!
Thanks so much pastor Jeff I have been watching many of your sermons for the past 10 months since God drew me to My Lord Jesus and declared my faith in Him and repent my sins.
The passion to Know His Word is burns as greatly as my distain for my stumbles.
I have found a local church that educates and challenges me along with much needed fellowship.
Again thank you so much for bringing your passion of our LORD and savior Jesus to people like me who indeed need to know God’s Word so that we can becomes who God created us to be in His Kingdom glorifying Him righteously. May God bless you all 🙏🏻
I'm so thankful for God!! I love you God I love you, Jesus, I may fail but you never do AMEN I marvel in your word I keep learning every day!! The more I seek you the more I find you. I'm nothing without you You are my everything be my everything.
What I love about this forum is we are all pondering The Lord together, working hard to understand His teaching because (hopefully) you love and fear Him. What a wonderful place, I am blessed by your desire and debate!!!
Amen!!! I feel the exact same way.
WELL SAID. LEARNING TOGETHER INSTEAD OF MINDLESS CRITICISM
Beautiful truth dripping from this sermon. I thank God for your ministry Apologia.
Wow, what a message. Really opened my eyes to how sometimes we take advantage of what Christ did for us and installed more fear in me of God. Great sermon
The desolations of abomination has to do with us in the last days. Not just about the Jews in the New Testament.
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Daniel 12:11
who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God
2 Thessalonians 2:4
There a lot more scriptures but Jeff interpretations is off. Abomination that maketh desolations has to do with us defining the house of God.
@@odefreitas18 The Temple is gone that Jesus pointed too. That is over.
Titus was then being praised and worshiped in the Temple: Jospehus War 6 6-1, And now the Romans, upon the flight of the seditious into the city, and upon the burning of the holy house itself, and of all the buildings round about it, brought their ensigns to the temple, (18) and set them over-against its eastern gate. And there did they offer sacrifices to them: and there did they make Titus Imperator (19) with the greatest acclamations of joy
In the Temple of the Holy God, now the Roman pagans are being worshipped - that is the abomination of desolation* 'his blood be upon us and our children'.
Wrong! Antiochus Epiphanes
I get it! I see it! I made some comments before when I watched this and since that I have been praying about this, Holy Spirit has opened my eyes. I recently watched your time on Ally's podcast "Relateable" and I started to understand. Glory to GOD I have Preterist view
Dear minister and preacher of our faith, a word of encouragement to you and your congregation. God bless you and keep you....His light shine upon you! Amen. Thank you for your uncompromising preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ. You have a tremendous outreach in the community. Continue to run the race and fight the good fight. The Lord is with you.....His Holy Spirit is moving throughout are country through your ministry.....into our homes and into our hearts. Blessings to you. Amen
Beautifully spoken Jeff. The Lord has used Apologia to bring me into The Word of God reading His Word in light of His Word and not reading my experience or opinions into it. Thank you for your longing for faithfulness to the Gospel of Jesus in all things of your ministry!
Looking forward to more All-Access content (like the church history series).
Daniel Unplugged by Daniel Frost. I challenge you to read it from cover to cover. It is way clearer
I love and respect you all
Dennis Vidot I love you too my brother in Christ Jesus hallelujah ♥️♥️♥️
Apologia - greek for defence/answer. Thank you for being warriors of Christ!
pamela bruce hallelujah sister . I love you in the name of Jesus Christ ♥️♥️
Amen.. what a blessing to see the way the Lord is using Apologia.
I wish all shepherds like Jeff preached like this, instead of the feel good lukewarm sermons of most preachers I pray that I could find a local church like this where I live
Fantastic sermon! Learned a lot thank you Pastor Jeff.
Thank you for your work pastor Jeff!
Excellent! Praise God! Thank you Lord Jesus!
Wow,, now i understand this chapter , how amazing is the word of God, thanks pastor jeff,
Praise the Lord! Thank you brother.
What a powerful message....thank you LORD JESUS ! Bless you Pastor Jeff....
There are very few churches that left their doors open. Thanks for all you do!
God you are amazing! You are Lord!
That was excellent teaching. You know how to make it so simple and understandable. Wonderful!
Amazing, thank you Lord!
Excellent! Thank You!
Thank you, brother Jeff. God bless you.
I’m convinced this is the truth. Thanks for clear teaching Jeff.
Ryan Gallmeier, thanks for the comment. I’ll have to look into the Preterist system more to get a idea of what it’s all about.
Daniel Unplugged by Samuel Frost. Get the book
One of the first points I heard made about this topic was that, if Yeshua is describing a world -ending event, what difference would running to the hills make? Another was about lightning being a local event. I had to drop all my preconceived notions about Jesus on a cloud coming down to destroy the planet. As soon as I was able to do that, and keep in mind the fact that he was talking to actual people who really lived in the first century, the meaning is clear as day.
Powerful! Praise God!
I’m in absolute AWE.
Great in hearing the Holy Spirit and doing His work.
Amazing! God’s Word is awesome.
🙌 praise to our Lord forever!
Great teaching message!
😇 Wow this is such an amazing message!! Jeff Durbin IS my pastor now♥
Good to see this Pastor giving an expository study to prophecy. Once I learned about the Bible's dispensations. . .my eyes and soul were awakened to God's 7 fold pattern of prophecy. Lord bless those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.
The testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy! Even so come. . . 🙏✝️
Oh wow! Our Lord Reigns!
SO SO GoOD
Hebrews 9:26 is super cool. Read down to 9:28, still to return, not to deal with sin but save his people. So much in just a couple lines!
John Doe I’m not sure. At the “2nd coming,” the Dead rise first. From where? This is a question I still have. I assume we are in “Sheol.” But as to who greats us until the 2nd coming, the only analogy I’ve read in scripture is that of Lazarus the poor man, who is carried by the angels to Abraham’s side (Luke 16). What say you?
John Doe I understand it was a parable, but that’s how Jesus communicated truth to his Disciples. It’s what he said. Revelation 20:4&5 talks about those who had been persecuted for Christ, raised and reigning with him....and some were not raised. In verses 11-15 the rest await the White Throne Judgement...where are they?
John Doe That doesn’t change anything I’ve said. Those who were persecuted for Christ are the ones Revelation says are raised. A persecuted Christian wrote that to Early Apostolic Christians being persecuted...who have been raised according to Revelation. The rest have not. So, You still didn’t answer my question, where are the ones who were not and await the White Thrown Judgement?
@@JohnDoe-le8fy concerning the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man, plenty of things in parables can represent something else, but I do not know of a single parable that used made up things to relay a message.
I.e. in the parable of the 10 Virgins in Matthew 25, the oil can be a metaphor for something (like justification) but oil is a real thing that is used to make the concept simpler. Jesus doesn't make up things for His parables, he uses real examples to illustrate a point.
Likewise, I'd say unless you have really good reasons to the contrary, the idea of a real afterlife (Abraham's Bosom) was as real to the listeners of Jesus as oil and lamps were.
If you disagree, can you give an example of a parable by Jesus that used non-real things? Or is this parable the only one?
John Doe Dude, it’s Revelation, not Revelation(s). I get it, you’re a full preterist. I understand the ages perfectly fine, and don’t arrive at your conclusions based on the text. You aren’t listening, so I’ll have to be done with this conversation. Have a good day.
Fascinating. I’m here for all of this.
This is really great teaching to compare the ultimate rejection of the covenant with the ultimate confirmation of the covenant with forgiveness happening all at the same time! Also nailing down that Christ’s sacrifice is the sacrifice once and for all. Many try to claim the cut off one as the antichrist in Daniel 9:27 instead of understanding it’s Jesus. I typically only hear this teaching from Adventist (SDA) theology today, but this is the teaching of the reformation churches.
Just a slight correction Jeff. The first legion of Roman soldiers that surrounded Jerusalem was sent by the Governor of Syria. They suddenly withdrew for no known reason and the Jewish rebels pursued them and massacred them. This so angered Emperor Nero who sent General Vespacian (who took with him his son, General Titus) to Judea to put a stop to the rebellion. He brought with him legions of Roman soldiers.
This is so compelling! Ironically I’m listening to a sermon from John MacArthur and he is preaching premillennialism. Both pastors I respect deeply and both bring compelling arguments. I would love to see a discussion between these two about Mathew 24. I’m leaning towards Jeff Durbin because it all makes sense what he’s saying but I still can’t make sense of the millennial reign being right now because Satan doesn’t seem bound in the abyss like Revelation declares.
Satan is bound.
Scripture to back it up:
“But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can someone enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house.”
Matthew 12:28-29 ESV
“The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.”
Luke 10:17-19 ESV
Satan had a change in status at the resurrection. God is plundering his house & gathering in the elect.
Hi Jeff...very much appreciate your teachings. Regarding Lee's (forget his last name now) shaking your hand and expressing his gratitude for your work: I watched the debate with Dr. White, and honestly, I think he longs to be refuted. That is, somehow the enemy has undermined his faith, and amidst all of his doubts, confusion, and objections, at the bottom, he longs to believe. So, he's grateful for your ministry, because it's a proclamation of truth, a point of light, if you will, in his darkened view of reality.
Excellent ! Praise God !
Good teaching, will have to listen again
I would've never left Phoenix if I new about this church and this pastor. Holy CRAP!
That was God's good grace upon you! He is false teaching and doing you a disservice. The beast system is still very much in power and most major religions have been infiltrated by Tares (wolves in sheep's clothing) and they are all preparing their congregations to support the antichrist. By getting you to believe that everything is hunky dory and that the Book of Revelation was already fulfilled is to get you to let down your guard. Notice the 5 wise virgins kept looking for the Bridegroom to come and continually had their lamps full of oil. If you read the Bible with the Holy Spirit's teachings you can clearly discern false teachings.
@@coko3124 you don't know what your talking about, troll. If there are emphatic points Pastor Durbin pushes continually, it is to not let your guard down looking for a rapture escape and to keep fulfilling the Great Commission, making disciples and advancing the Gospel of Christ. He never lets up on that charge. You can't prove the great tribulation is a future event, but it could be, who knows and who cares, these are non-essentials, but u hold out the same hard-headed, haughty, dogmatic Jehovah's Witness-quality ignorance that drove me out of fundamental Pentacostalism.
@@slamtheleft we are to be always watching for the return of the bridegroom. To say that we only are waiting to be raptured and not fulfill the great commission is a lie. I live by every word that comes from the mouth of God and I do both. Jeff paints a picture that is false. You can look for Jesus to come again which the scriptures say is wise while fulfilling the great commission and oh fun fact about me is I left the Mormon church after 37 years, that is preparing its members to accept the Antichrist. I have bone chilling experiences with this and you best believe that understanding what is unfolding is important to pay attention to. God specifically told me to warn his people after telling me to read Matthew 24:26. I am not a troll. I am a watchman.
@@coko3124 well, good luck with these megalomanical proclamations. To say Jeff Durbin is a false teacher, false whatever, is absolutely delusional. His eschatological views make him a damnable heretic? You take yourself way to seriously, for one, and, I have yet to find anything from Apologia that even remotely suggests he is what you say he is. He is also spot-on with his pro-life ministry and his unabashedly pro-American, anti-Marxist political positions and teachings. He is not a godless barbarian heathen leftist, so maybe that offends you, too?
@@slamtheleft megalomaniac, interesting. I am not a pastor to thousands of people. God has told thousands like me that He is coming back and He will take His bride home. It is plain in His word. I have seen too many tares in the church and I don’t take myself seriously I take the Word of God seriously. I take eschatology seriously. It concerns me so many are asleep as to the coming of Christ. I don’t think you can honestly be a teacher and study the Bible and genuinely come to the conclusion that so many end time prophecy is just metaphorical. God speaks through His word and He is plain in His word where He says He is. This is the problem with the church they accept so many false doctrines because they see people like Jeff who do everything in public and everything on camera and say “look he is a good person” because they judge them by their public acts but I learned long ago that just because they look and act like sheep doesn’t mean they are. I have seen the apologia “late night show”
they tried to launch of Jeff talking about conspiracy theories and really downplayed the evil of freemasonry. It made me sick watching it. I loved Jeff and his teachings especially since he witnessed to Mormons but he is teaching the church the same thing the Mormon church teaches its congregation and that is this “Just focus on the good, stay in your lane. What a lot of people fail to realize and put together is that the beast system has two parts and it talks about the whore of Babylon ruling the beast system but then that will be thwarted by another in the beast system but only because they want to give the power to the antichrist. It is very clear to me that this power that will rise up and destroy the whore of Babylon is going to appear as a good guy But we know from scripture it is a ravenous wolf. So when the whore of Babylon is destroyed and everybody cheers if you don’t read the Scriptures or if it hasn’t been interpreted to you plainly by your pastor or whoever the Bible teacher but really you should be reading it on your own then you’re not going to notice that this is not a good guy. But I promise you so many religions will be fooled because their pastors and their teachers are really wolves in sheep clothing as Jesus said they would be.
30:27. I was just reading Luke 11 yesterday and came across verse 20 where Christ says “..then the kingdom of God has come upon you”.
I used to be a dispensationalist until verses like these raised red flags everywhere.
"Flee to the mountains" (Matthew 24:16) is repeated again by John in Revelation 18:4 which says, "Depart from her my people or you shall share in her sin". Depart from Jerusalem and don't enter it (Luke 21:21).
Which is after the destruction of the temple in 70AD. In our time now we can look back and see that this is a future event. I agree that it happened in the past as well but it will happen again but this time with the antichrist on the scene. The kingdom of God is within us but the heavenly kingdom we are waiting for is New Jerusalem. It’s an everlasting kingdom. There will be a new heaven and new earth.
Jeff Durbin believes that the book of revelation was written before 70 AD.
I haven’t studied that in-depth, but I can see some legit points on both sides. I’ve heard Jeff recommend the book Before Jerusalem Fell by Kenneth Gentry, if you are interested in researching his perspective.
@@ghc9123
Whenever I read Revelation I’ve learned to let it speak for itself; without imposing any presupposition into the text... I firmly believe it was sent to the churches before 70AD to warn them all of impending judgement; the judgement Jesus prophesied in His Olivet Discourse with pinpoint accuracy...
@@lavieenrose5954 👍 I agree. Coming from a pre-mil dispensational church, I had a lot of questions that I never bothered looking into because no one else questioned, so I assumed I just didn’t get it. However, after being exposed to Durbin’s teaching, I began to actually study for myself, and I realized the inconsistency of my beliefs when confronted with scripture and church history. Eventually, I came to the same conclusion as you.
Douglas Wilson’s book When the Man Comes Around was a big help to me in solidifying my views and explaining them to others. I would highly recommend it. Assuming you haven’t already read it.😁
Thanks for commenting, it’s encouraging to hear others coming to that conclusion. God bless!
Great study.
oh wow!! Just WoW!!! Jesus is Lord!!!!
Now we need a teaching on wheat and tares. How Jesus comes to separate them.
I think the 70th week is yet to come, between the 69th and 70th, is the church age talked about in Luke 21:24
Luke 21:24 is talking about the fall of Jerusalem, 70 A.D. Trampled under foot by the gentiles (Romans) and the time of the gentiles (Jewish world leadership has never existed since).
The tribulation (written of in the book of Revelation) lasts 7 years, and that is one "week" according to Daniels prophetic timeline, so I think the 70th week is yet to come.
@@laronwilburn304 But the Lord Jesus Christ did NOT say that the Kingdom of Israel would NOT occur later, only that the disciples would not know the times or seasons that the Father has set. (Acts 1:6-7)
You are adding a pause in the weeks that is NOWHERE in scripture. You are reading your personal belief into the text.
@@hokieham Let's test your assertion. Why did the Jews of the Lord Jesus Christ's time, including his disciples, believe that the Messiah was going to rule from David's throne at his coming? Again, check out Acts 1:6-7.
Good job
Jeff, this is the best sermon I’ve heard from you in a long time. So engaging and quite frankly, fun! Thank you for your faithfulness to our Lord.
I have always been taught that Daniels prophecy was future. Even now so many ppl refer to this passage as for our future to know the end of the world. Thank apologia !
Amen!
So much respect for that intro!
Love it! But the number of ads 🤦♂️
Very interesting.
MacArthur has a great interpretation of the end times. This is a good one to ponder as well.
BlazingLove3:16 - no he actually doesn't.
Dynamite Fresh - I didn't say he wasn't a good teacher, i just disagreed with the comment about his eschatology.
Wow!!!
Love the teaching and listening to the points made, but i struggle with some of the points asserted. Understood from listening to other teaching from Jeff, he believes revelation was fulfilled in 70 A.D. Which i struggle with... But either way i'm glad to listen and hear someone i trust scripturally differs from me that isn't a pre-everything.... A number of points simply don't add up. Even caught Dr. White suggest in one debate a few weeks back suggest Revelation was written in 90 A.D....
He doesn't believe all of it was fulfilled in 70 AD. He believes the final battle, second coming, and judgment and new creation are all future. If he didn't he would be a heretic
@@Iffmeister Hmm sure sounds like a preterist view. No?
He believes in Partial preterism, hyper preterism believes all has been fulfilled.
@@mattbaldwin247 Thanks the info. Hearing partial preterism, is that like partially pregnant? Or as we know Christ said a little leaven leavens the entire lump. I'd be the first to agree a lot with end times eschatology can be tricky and hard to comprehend and none of us have the place to say what is right or wrong dogmatically. Just troubling when one might take a theological view that has major problem first with history and worse the Bible itself, just hard to see a partial view of a bad doctrine is any good. Never heard a preterist in any manor agree Revelation was written after Jerusalem's destruction for example all would say before 70A.D. We know John was not exiled to Patmos until 94 A.D.
Double fulfillment of prophecy. He even admitted that it was a thing. He denies that this can be double fulfillment of prophecy. What's crazy is the wicked are already moving towards everything the Book of Revelation talks about and people are still believing this preterist nonsense.
as it has been said here already, any way to put the "kingdom of God" series through the Gospel of Matthew into a playlist? i've tried searching for the sermons and many are there but hard to find. if not, i still thank you for your faithful preaching of the word. It is refreshing.
ADs popping up frequently during the sermon is just plain wrong.
Pastor Durbin you look like Nebuchadnezzar with the beard. Love that beard.
Thank you soooo much!!!
I love your sermons. What is a reform church?
“Reformed” in the most precise endorsement here is a church that affirms something like the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689.
@@Biblecia thank you. I'll look up that reference.
It's so difficult to comprehend pastor Jeff, hopefully I'll get better in understanding him...
Jeff is difficult to understand because he jumps around so much. If you want to understand more, read and study the Bible yourself. I hold to a pre trib rapture but you have to go deeper than what Jeff does. This is my main question for people as far as the rapture is concerned. What is the purpose of the tribulation? Is it for judgement of those who are already in Christ and have already been made righteous by the blood of the lamb. Is it for the national salvation of the Jews, Romans 11:25-26, Zechariah 13:8-8? Is it for the judgement of the world, Revelation 3:10? I don’t know why it so hard to distinguish between God’s plan for the Jews and God’s plan for the church. Way too many allegorize the book of Revelation and all the prophecies of the Old Testament prophets. Over 100 prophecies were fulfilled in the first coming of Jesus. Why would we ignore all the other prophecies in the Bible? If God does not fulfill all the promises made to the Jewish people then why would we have faith in all the promises made to believers? Matthew 23:38. Behold. Your house is being left to you desolate. For I say you, from now on you will not see me until you say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Has this happened yet? Is Israel in all the land that was promise them for an irrevocable and eternal promise Genesis 15:17-20? When is that going to happen? How about Genesis 17:8? How about Genesis 48:1-4? There are promises made to the Jewish people that are yet to be fulfilled but they will be fulfilled in the future. Consider these questions and actually there are many more that I could ask but start with these. Do some reading and studying for yourself with a good study Bible.
Jeff does an awesome job of tying together Old Testament prophecy with the New Testament fulfillment. Are there any good books out there on this?
G.K. Beale's "Commentary on the New Testament Useful of the Old Testament" is one excellent book.
John McGough - Paradise Restored, Chilton and His follow up book Days of Vengeance is excellent
After a couple days of sitting on this, God brought me to Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” It is intentional that God wants us to search for Him. He wants us to be in community with Him, intimately aquatinted. The Holy Spirit convicted me of my lazy, half hearted pursuit of Him. #diggingin
"Last Days Madness" by Gary DeMar
Ellen White: The Great Controversy.
Great guy good advice read the book of Acts salvation is there.
Revelation was written in 95 AD, twenty five years after Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the temple. The early church fathers told us John was imprisoned on Patmos under the reign of Emperor Domitian.
False. There’s very good internal & external evidence for the early dating of Revelation.
@@SerenityNow22 The early church fathers said John was on Patmos during the reign of Domitian. This comes from Irenaeus, disciple of Polycarp who was the disciple of John. I don’t care about Roman eschatology derived from Origen 200 years after Irenaeus because he hated Jews and there was no nation of Israel or city of Jerusalem standing and he couldn’t harmonize the prophetic texts.
Find better eschatology than recycled 1600 year old Roman Catholic AMillennialism the Reformers who also saw no literal Israel regathered one the land and Jerusalem rebuilt were too ignorant and lacking faith to challenge. The Bible says what it means.
@@thirdplace3973 I love your comment. Say it loudly. There's something deeply disturbing about this perspective. Hearing your voice on this confirms for me that it may have many points of weakness and is at its core, insidious in some sense.
I believe in the early date. I believe Revelation is God’s divine judgement on apostate Israel of the first century; God unleashed His wrath upon the wicked and perverse generation who killed the prophets and the Lord Jesus Christ.
@@lavieenrose5954 Then you need to pervert the scriptures like Origen did and allegorize everything.
Isaiah 46:3-4
Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
all the remnant of the house of Israel,
who have been borne by Me from before your birth,

Great video thank you. Where do you get the time markers for Peter going to the gentiles?
Preterism is great if you ignore vast amounts of prophetic old and new testament teaching. I'll say this much, there is a lot of prophecy that is fulfilled in the preterist view. And this much is expected. Jesus' discourse applied not only to that generation but to the final generation as well. We actually have biblical prophecy that is partially fulfilled at one point in time, then completely fulfilled at a later time. These initial partial fulfillments are often small "tastes" of what the final prophetic fulfillment will be.
A.good example of this: Scholars generally agree that the first reference of these prophecies is the Seleucid king Antiochus Epiphanes IV, who ruled Palestine from 175-64 B.C. Antiochus treated Israel with such violence and contempt that they rebelled against him. When he came to suppress the rebellion, his forces entered the temple, stopped the regular sacrifices, set up an idol of or altar for Zeus, and apparently offered swine there as a sacrifice. This is an abomination because it is idolatry, and it brings desolation because it defiles the holy place at the heart of Israel. This act was the abomination “of” desolation, the abomination “causing” desolation.
This was prior to Jesus' arrival! Are we to assume that the prophecy of daniel was in direct reference to this specific incident? Absolutely! But this incident alone? Hardly.
Going back to preterism, how can we ignore the vast amounts of prophecy describing the state of the world as a whole in the end times, prior to Christ's 1000 year reign? The one world government and religion, the beast system, the great deception, the persecution of the church on a world-wide scale There is quite a bit of symbolism in these prophecies, but some of the language is very blatant, and cannot be passed off as metaphorical.
Well said! I loved Pastor Jeff's teachings but he contradicted himself when he says (in another video) that there is no double fulfillment of prophecy concerning the antichrist and beast system but then in this video admitted that there is a double fulfillment of prophecy. It's not up to him to say what is and isn't double fulfillment or foreshadowing of prophecy. I wanted so badly to believe his pretorist story but when I unpacked it all and read between the lines and his ultra passionate way of gaslighting his congregation I was more than disappointed. Beware of 🐺s in 🐏s clothing. I have discerned him to be a wolf. You cannot read the scriptures honestly and teach this fantasy.
@@coko3124 I don't think I'd go that far. Pastor Jeff is just another human like the rest of us. And unfortunately, in the church, eschatology is possibly the most contested issue. Jeff still does believe we are saved by grace through faith. Definitely more Calvinist leaving, but he's a good guy.
@@MadProphet_97 I certainly do not know his heart but it really troubled me when I saw him downplay conspiracy theories and the evil of freemasonry and freemasonry symbolism on his late night talk show and coming from Mormonism which I was in for 37 years I thought that our profit was a profit and was a good guy but there Is a lot that points to him actually being a Freemason or a part of that occult world.man So I never look on the outward appearance and I never judge people by the fruit that they love to show everybody.However, I do not know his heart but I err on the side of caution because that is what the Scripture tells us to do and is to be aware of wolves in sheep’s clothing and Paul mentions discerning of spirits.I honestly feel like giving this man who is in charge of a huge congregation of people The benefit of the doubt is very naive for me. I really liked his teachings at first but when I read the Bible it didn’t sit with me at all, eschatology wise, and I am super careful because of my experience in the Mormon church.

Questions: last 3 1/2 years of the 7th week? I know you said Acts, but how do you"apologia" that statement? 2) Who do you believe, or explain, is "that man of sin"?
The man of sin that Paul was referring to and they knew who was at that time, was Nero whom was restrained until Claudius was out of the way.
Man of sin was the Caesar Nero

GENUINE QUESTION: When Jeff speaks about the 70th week, the last 7 years, that 3 1/2 years into it, Christ is crucified. I can see that clear as day. However, he says that 3 1/2 years later, we get the events of Acts 10 where Peter has the vision for the Gentiles. I can't find any sources that teaches that the events in Acts 10 happen only 3 1/2 years after Christ's Resurrection. All of my sources teach that it happened between 5-7 years after Pentecost.
Where are there sources that show that the events of Peter in Acts 10 happened 3 1/2 years after Christ's Resurrection?
I thought the same thing. The events of Peter in Acts chapter 7 appear to be more than 3 1/2 years after the crucifixion. Plus, in Daniel chapter 9, it states that the Messiah would be cut off after the 62 weeks. This means it would end at His crucifixion not His baptism 3 to 3 1/2 years earlier. I would like more information when this took place with Peter in Acts chapter 10.
Can I make a book recommendation for you that actually gives a more Jewish preterist view?
Daniel Unplugged by Samuel Frost.
You brought out a good point with your question. Sam Frost has a better answer.
Dude, get Daniel Unplugged by Samuel Frost.
You will get the Jewish preterist position which is waaaaaaay more consistent than what Jeff explained. You’re hitting on very important things that Jeff clearly goofed on.
I started reading Daniel and I keep running into things about Daniel, I wonder if God is showing me something
Book recommendation:
Daniel Unplugged by Samuel Frost.
Thank you so much for sharing! What is your take on the sacrificial system prophesied by Ezekiel that will unfold in our future, as well as all the other priestly roles of the Levites?
Read Hebrews. The very idea of doing sacrifices is like sacrificing Christ again and again, which shows the idea of, "Jesus didn't do enough, he is insufficient."
Often in the Old Testament you hear that God "Took no pleasure in sacrifices."
Simply put, rebuilding a temple requires sacrifices, and such sacrifices are blasphemy against his finished work.
This is repeated many times in the NT, while the idea of a rebuilt Temple and Levitical system Are NO WHERE to be found in the NT.
Jeff Durbin likes to say, “let the text speak” and yet it is he who imposes his story into the text.
In his vision of the statue, Daniel described 5 kingdoms. The story that Durbin tells involves only four kingdoms, the fourth being Rome which was current in Jesus’ day. The fifth Kingdom, iron mixed with clay, is yet to come.
Daniel describes the Antichrist as one who “will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”
The story Durbin tells is that the abomination of desolation took place in AD70 and yet during the destruction of Jerusalem there is no record of a firm covenant for one week, a stop to sacrifices in the middle of the week nor the complete destruction of the one who makes desolate.
What reformed theology fails to understand is that there are two kingdoms being described in the Bible. The prophets spoke constantly about a kingdom where Jesus will rule the nations with an iron rod in righteousness and justice. The kingdom that we are a part of today is the ‘mystery kingdom’ where both Jews and Gentiles form the body of Christ and Jesus is our friend and the Holy Spirit is our helper.
Paul reminds us that God has not rejected His people and that all Israel will be saved. Paul clearly believed what the prophets taught concerning the coming kingdom because he often quoted them - “THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.”
“THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.”
All this and more is future.
Jeff Durbin needs to let the text speak for itself and stop applying his own story to the text.
Funny thing is, you do the same thing. Your interesting and explains the texts from your understanding. Just like he is. If you going to come to a channel as a brother. Just post the passages and let them speak for themselves.. But don't divide over prophesy because I don't believe anyone knows exactly what will unfold. At least until we're in it or out of it. That is by God's design. All we get are signs and instructed to watch and be purifying ourselves in the meantime. The word teaches us to be of the same mind. Esteem others better than ourselves. Pray for one another and foremost love one another.
If you do a study on the history of Rome, you will see that Rome is divided into two separate historical periods: The Roman Republic; and The Roman Empire. They are NOT the same entity, though you could confuse them as such. The Roman Republic was the first iteration, run by the Senate. The Roman Empire was ruled by Caesar and broke the empire into ten provinces (ten toes), some provinces were as powerful as the former Roman Republic (iron) and some provinces were not (clay). This is the world into which the Messiah was born, and it was precisely as Daniel predicted it: The Roman Empire began in 27 BC, Jesus was born in 4 BC... Boom!!!
@@tstjohn777 You have just accused me of doing the same thing as Durbin and yet all I did was quote from Scripture. I pointed out that while Daniel describes 5 kingdoms, Durbin recognises only 4 kingdoms. How have I imposed my own story into the text?
Then I copied the text that explains the actions of the Antichrist which clearly did not occur in AD70, though Durbin claims that the abomination of desolation did occur. How have I imposed my own story into the text?
You say, “Just post the passages and let them speak for themselves.”
Here are 2 passages - let them speak:
Deut 4:30-31 “When you are in distress and all these things have come upon you, in the latter days you will return to the LORD your God and listen to His voice. “For the LORD your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.
Rom 11:25 For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery-so that you will not be wise in your own estimation-that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.”
“THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.”
I do not need to impose my story to the text, I let Scripture speak for itself.
You say not to divide over prophecy. The division occurs when pastors teach error. Challenging error is not causing division; we are told to worship Him in Spirit and Truth. Both Paul and Jesus challenged error when the need arose.
1 John 3:3 And everyone who has this hope (meeting Him in the air) fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
@@laronwilburn304 An interesting comment although I am not sure it is deserving of a ‘boom’.
The following statement was copied from vox.com.
“The Roman Empire reached its greatest size under the reign of Trajan in 117 AD. To aid in administration, it was divided into provinces. The number of provinces changed over time as territories were gained or lost, and as larger provinces were divided into smaller ones. There were 46 provinces under Trajan, a figure that would grow to 96 by the reign of Diocletian.”
The number of provinces changed over time and to claim there were 10 provinces only, representing the ten toes, is imposing your own story into the text, as well as wishful thinking. BOOM!
Let the text speak -
Ez 37 I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, I will make them one nation in the land and will cleanse them. And THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD.
Jer 16:5 For I WILL RESTORE THEM TO THEIR OWN LAND which I gave to their fathers.
Amos 9 I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit. I will also plant them on their land, AND THEY WILL NOT AGAIN BE ROOTED OUT FROM THEIR LAND Which I have given them, Says the LORD your God.
Jer 3:17 At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘The Throne of the LORD,’ and ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE GATHERED TO IT, TO JERUSALEM, for the name of the LORD.
Zeph 3 At that time I will bring you in, Even at the time when I gather you together; Indeed, I WILL GIVE YOU RENOWN AND PRAISE AMONG ALL THE PEOPLES OF THE EARTH, When I restore your fortunes before your eyes, Says the LORD.
Jer 33 In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and HE SHALL EXECUTE JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS ON THE EARTH.”
By a miracle, the Children of Israel have returned to their land, they have restored their language and culture and now everything is being put in place to rebuild the temple. All that is required now is to knock out Islam which will be accomplished by Ez 38. Keep an eye on the Middle East.
@@gregjay9933 I don't think there are 5 kingdoms in Daniel 2. No where in Daniel does it say there will be a 5th kingdom. It talks about a 4th kingdom which is made of iron and the feet are also made of partly iron and partly clay. I think its still talking about the 4th kingdom when he moves to the feet he doesn't follow the previous 4 kingdoms by naming them. So no Jeff is not wrong Daniel 2 only talks about 4 Kingdoms. I believe the clay mixed with Iron is Israel or the Jewish leaders in cahoots with Rome. Its interesting that in Jeremiah 18 "5 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 6 “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter has done? declares the Lord. Behold, like the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. 7 If at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it, 8 and if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I intended to do to it."
Hey Apologia! Can I get your sermon audio on podcast?
I get that post-millennials think that the man of perdition was Nero, but when did he receive his deadly head wound and yet lived? When did he stand in the Temple and claim to be GOD? When did he implement a one world religion, government, and currency? What do you do with the 2 witnesses? I don't know, man. It just seems so lazy to say, " The book of revelation is so hard to interpret."
This is the best explanation of Daniel 9 that I have ever heard. I have only one question about the last 7 years. The first 3 1/2 applied to Jesus is perfect. Where can I see in the scriptures when the other 3 1/2 ended? I assume with Peter and Cornelius, but where is the time frame?
I have an even better preterist view from a book by Samuel Frost called “Daniel Unplugged.”
where 2 or more are gathered to worship God is there
I am a Dipsy, but I appreciate your approach to the topic, and enjoyed the sermon.
Jeff, where are we related to what the scriptures say about the rapture of the church?
PWP Packaging - if by “rapture” you are referring to a removal of the church from the world (eg before, during or after the tribulation), that is a non-Biblical teaching. It’s a very common teaching today but you won’t find it in the Bible. Now if by “rapture” you’re simply referring to us being caught up in the air with Christ (as a part of His triumphal return) that IS Biblical and will occur when He returns. When is that? Beyond my pay grade 😄 It will be a glorious day. That I know.
kbuzbee thanks for the reply
Acts 1:8-11
Did this happen as we read?
PWP Packaging Yes 😄
kbuzbee , So... I have been following Jeff on TH-cam for a while and really appreciate the teachings. I’m having a new appreciation for the reform movement in our Protestant faith.
The post tribulation view has always been a real question for me. This message has opened my mind to understanding this end time view.
Always had a pre-tribulation view that has kinda taken me out of the fight.
Interesting stuff. I would love to here how you think it ends for us, the church. God was cut off by non believing Jews, jesus was cut off by his death on the cross. Now we have the 3rd part of God, the Holy spirit. What is your thought on the Holy spirit being removed?
God was never and will ever be cut off. This is all his plan and he is in control of all things. Jesus was cut off by his death by not physically being on earth. The Holy Spirit is not removed. Consider these verses: Mark 13:19 and Daniel 12:1. Michael is the angel that protects God’s people. It appears as if when he stands we have trouble like never before or ever shall be. This is a time of great tribulation when satan makes war with the saints all the way through the wrath of God. No matter how hard it has been in our time or in the past could possibly equal that time to come. As for your question about how it will it end for the true believers.... beautifully!!!
Why so many commercials. I tried doing this while doing things around the house and I have to keep coming back to my phone if not the commercials will drone on and on. Not worth it this is my last try
For some reason Jeff doesn't mention Daniel 12, when the resurrection of the just and the unjust happened, after the the abomination of desolation is set up, and the power of the holy people have been completely shattered. The coming of the Lord is connected to the resurrection.
While many get stuck in Daniel 9 with the Seventy Weeks all they need to do is keep reading through to the end of Daniel. While much is explained for greater clarity, Daniel is still struggling for answers and understanding in 12:8. Imagine, here we have respected prophet of God getting direct information from Gabriel and other messengers from God while we're stuck with TH-cam yahoos spouting drivel. After Daniel gets his heart crushed by finding out that his people are going to blow it all over again, he's left with the promise that he'll die but stand with his people at the end of days. He could at least take some comfort that Michael stands for his people and delivers those written in the book. It does appear that a resurrection follows thereafter but it does not appear to be a complete resurrection due to the word "many".
@@mcgeorgerl doesn't Paul and Christ both refer to Daniel 12:1 for their ressurection doctrine , for Paul it would be Acts 24:14-16 and for Christ it would be John 5:28-29, they both refer to Daniel on their view of ressurection, it's a complete one, Daniel teaches it occurs after the tribulation and when the old covanent power would be shattered, Daniel 12:8 , if the text is correct the ressurection should have taken place at the fall and destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in AD 70, the " end of days" at the end of Daniel 12 refer to the " time of the end" the end of the age, where Daniel received his resurrection reward,. Scripture points to a ressurection in our past but in the apostles and old testament prophets future, Mathew 24 stems from Daniel 9 and 12, Pastor Jeff stays away of 12 because it teaches the ressurection at the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, he doesn't want to go there, due to his partial preterism postmillenialism,
@@andrebias3534 I'm "spitballing" here as I have to leave in a few minutes. I think a person could spend the greater portion of their live doing nothing other than study the resurrections. Moses was resurrected. Then we have all those who were raised from the dead by Christ and the disciples. Then those who were resurrected at Christ's death on the cross. Possibly Paul at his stoning. Those resurrected by disciples AFTER the ascension of Christ. The resurrection of the dead in Christ who join the living saints. The "First Resurrection" of Rev 20:5 and the one 1000 years later for the Great White Throne. Man, I never listed these before. We've got more people popping up from the dead than in the "Highlander" series. I'll read your post in more detail when I have the opportunity later.
@@andrebias3534 Oooops… Forgot one. Maybe 2. Two Witnesses - Dead 3 days then resurrected. The other MAY be Jonah. It's been a while since I read the account.
@@andrebias3534 Let's assume both Christ and Paul knew Daniel better than any one person extant. So both knew that at some point, Michael is going to "standeth for the children of Israel" for the purpose of delivering them (Dan 12:1). And at some point thereafter there is a resurrection of many of the dead and a sorting out to everlasting life or shame and contempt.
John 5 is interesting in that verse 25 is a KILLER verse. In that resurrection Christ again speaks of a sorting of "good" and "evil" but there's a difference isn't there. This time it's "all" who are resurrected. In Acts, Paul speaks again of a resurrection of "just" and unjust" so there's s sorting there as well.
In 1 Thess 4:17 we have a resurrection of the dead and a catching up of the living, all saints apparently. And Paul relates something new, a mystery, in 1 Cor 15:51again with no mention of any unrighteous where, apparently, not all are "sleeping".
In Rev 20 we have a "first resurrection" where those are "blessed and holy". And 1000 years later another resurrection in which we have a resurrection has another sorting out (Rev 20:15).
Back to Daniel now... Daniel asks, twice, when this is to occur. He's given time times and a half and 1290 days. Let's accept 3-1/2 years. The next bit confounds many because there's something ELSE for those "blessed" 45 days later at 1335 days. Shall we accept this 3-1/2 years to be the 2nd half of the 70th week which most put 3-1/2 years after the crucifixion? If so, what does any of this have to do with 66-73 A. D.?
