I have been Protestant all of my life. For no reason at all, my life turned upside down at once in several ways. Without reading or knowing why, I began to feel a strong desire to be catholic. My dreams from months ago now make sense, and just in attempting to pray correctly as I began to read about the things I was feeling, my life is changing. My family are all Protestants and my state is all Protestant. I will be torched by them for thinking this way, and I don’t know at all how to go about this from here. Just out of nowhere I feel I’m called to “go home” in a sense and I feel it’s the Catholic Church. Very happy and confusing times I’m in.
Praying for you and I feel the same way! I grew up Protestant, but decided to convert to Catholicism this year a few months ago. I go so much pushback from my mom who is Protestan, but I wouldn't let that deter me from my decision. I pray that the Lord Jesus will guide you in the fullness of His Truth in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church! God bless you!
Welcome home! Please check out Steve Ray, he is a convert and it was difficult for him, he was shunned by his friends and family. God gave him better friends, he’s extremely knowledgeable you will love him. God bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I feel the same way... I was protestant and had no interest in Catholicism. In fact I hated Catholics and I considered the pope to be an antichrist. I started to feel this pull to the church and now I am on my way to being a Catechumen
Ive been living in horror from Christians for over 2 years now Thank you for making this since i am Catholic i found myself at home tremendously Thank you and May God Bless you forever and ever
I was a fundamentalist Baptist for years. I then read the Bible...5 times. I discovered that the rapture is not biblical. When I pointed this out, Protestants accused me of believing Catholic doctrine. I then started looking into Church and found that Catholic doctrine is indeed biblical, contrary to what I was taught and believed. Needless to say, I am now Catholic.
Thanks for helping me understand this better! I’m a Roman Catholic but most of my christian friends are Non Denominational (and therefor, Protestant) so I wasn’t getting to hear the full truth of the Catholic faith on this matter until now. Thank you so much!
When I was Baptist, the rapture was mentioned often. Then, after I became Catholic, I began researching the rapture theory. It's an interesting study which I was clueless about. We mostly went by what the Left Behind series said which, I suppose, came from John Darby's camp. I think our best sources, as Catholics, are well read Protestants who converted to Catholicism. Men like David Currie, David Anders, Tim Staples and his CA crew. That's because the Catholic church doesn't embrace the theory. The Church simply embraces what Scripture says which, from what I know, this video covers but in more graphics means.
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then most gracious advocate thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Oh clement, oh loving, oh sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us oh Holy Mother of God, that we be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
David Currie's book about the rapture contains a chronological list of ppl who had predicted the end of the world over the last 2,000 years. They each had their reasons for their belief but, of course, they were all wrong.
I’m Protestant and I detest date setters also. Careful not to throw the baby out with the water because of these guys who are the sensationalists. Plenty of solid evangelicals who have carefully, thoughtfully, and diligently lay out biblical truths, not Bible sourced, interpretations. This is a HUGE difference. John MacArthur, RC Sproul, D James Kennedy, Scott Ardavanis, William Barrick, Jack Hibbs, Amir Tsarfati (completed Jew by the way!), Barry Stagner, Sam Musgrave, Andrei Sava, Johnny Ardavanis, Costi Hinn (he separated from his Uncle Benny Hinn after true conversion for his uncle is a false teacher taking in millions!), etc
@@bottlethrower1544 Yes, a novel creation by Plymouth Brethren Dispensationalist Theologian John Nelson Darby circa 1833. C.I Schofield picked up his novel idea and later Dallas Theological Seminary. Only a small group of fundamenatlist still hold to this theory, usually Baptist minded folks. They tend to cling to it rather vehamently. My dear Baptist sister being one :).
As an ex-Baptist, slowly becoming Catholic, it was the Rapture that was the biggest red flag for me. None of it made any sense, and none of the verses they point to seem to actually be saying what they believe they are saying. It almost seems like a spiritual blindness.
A great number of Priests and Bishops are more interested in the current secular 'Church of Nice' where we don't talk about anything that's negative or accepting. That's why most Catholics don't hear about the end of times.
@n...best to be concerned about our own personal endtime. God will take care of the final one. The actual end time you speak of might come today or a billion years in the future. Truth is, we don't know. I once read a book that recorded famous people or conditions in every past century when people thought the end times would be any time beginning with Paul. It happened during all the plaguede and world wars. Billy Graham predicted circa 1953. The book 1988 predicted 1988. The very next year, he predicted 1989. People have dropped their life and health insurance all because they thought the end was here. The other person stated correctly that end time conspiracy folks can be tempted to avoid helping others. God bless
I was raised nominally Protestant, but was never a student of Protestant eschatology. I left Protestantism many years ago, today embracing the Orthodoxy. There is unfortunately no coherent eschatology in the Orthodox Church, so I have spent a lot of time researching Catholic teaching in this area. In 2010, I experienced a vision of Christ in my home that included many miracles both in private and in public places. I wrote a book about some of these things that I published in 2016. When Christ appeared to me, he spoke to me audibly and called me to write down everything I heard him say, which I share with many others by various means including social media platforms like this one. I hear a lot of things in your discussion that concern me due to the teaching I was given when the Lord Jesus appeared to me. I certainly don't claim to understand everything in the book of Revelation, but there are some key teachings that Christian believers are embracing that they will never see materialize. I'm not posting this comment to go over every detail or to address every one of your points in the video. I'll just give you one particular example as a small sample of how we differ. You said that the destruction of the temple in 70 AD was the judgement of God upon the Jews, and that is totally correct. You then say that the prophecy of Jesus about a false Messiah to be embraced by the Jews has not yet occurred, and will be fulfilled by the future beast in Revelation. In fact, the very prophecy in Matthew 24 about the destruction of the temple and the removal of every foundation stone beneath it was fulfilled both in 70 AD and in 135 AD. Yes, the temple was completely desecrated in 70 AD by Rome, however the removal of the foundation stones did not occur until the end of the Simon Bar-Kopka revolt between 132 and 135 AD. Who was Simon Bar-Kopka? He was the self-proclaimed Jewish Messiah the Jews embraced when they went to battle against Rome in 132 AD! It was this event that led Rome to completely surround Jerusalem, massacre every Jewish fighter, and trigger the great Jewish diaspora. Just three years later, Rome pulled every stone in the city out of the ground, exactly as Jesus had said. In Daniel we read that a future world tyrant will deny the god of his own ancestry, regarding only the god of military might. No future Jewish Messiah could possibly deny the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, nor could an Islamic Mahdi deny Allah. The future beast, Antichrist, or whatever you want to call him, will not be messianic, but rather a secularist. Trace this comment if you want to know more. God bless!
The Antichrist will either be Satan himself in the flesh or a man who was given the world to him just like the devil offered to Jesus. Both will be intellectually gifted who comes from Jewish or Christian decent.
Nicely done. And, I would like to suggest that you never feel any shame over the affiliation with Orthodoxy. It is not for me as I see clearly in the Catholic fixture the truth of the origins. I see too the reality of the issue with a central authority, but, we humans need that and to be united in our faith, love and dedication to Jesus Christ we must have a common administration that provides a congealing effect. We have this consolation from Christ and I hear it in my mind’s eye every single day, “The gates of hell will not prevail against it”, in respect to His Church. We are, even if some think not, one. I don’t know about the Prots, my jury is on alert over that. I see a TON of heresy swarming out from that but, I know that Jesus is in that mix too… …but, it is an easy place for Satan to resource unwitting laborers to spill his hate; since they have a hate doctrine stitched into their teaching. Anyway, that was a nice response you reeled out up there. Gratitudes!
Not holy trinity, the blood of Christ. Believe the atoning work of Christ on the cross. You are forgiven the day you believed the lord to be your savior 😊😊😊
Those who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ are no longer sinners. They are fully forgiven and justified before God. Come to God but through the Lord Jesus Christ.
@krishnaswami3362 belief is not enough. Faith alone is dead, you have to show your faith through your works, that is, true repentance and real change. That is faith. Without works is it dead.
There is a 4th "Catching Up" that is gaining in popularity called "Pre-Wrath". Many of those moving to the "Pre-Wrath" event are former "Pre-Tribbers" who do not find scriptural support for the position.
This video is an excellent exploration on the end times, antichrist and return of Jesus Christ. I commend and thank you for your comprehensive video. Even though I have studied and read several books Catholic on this topic I found you helped simplify it further so I could get a grasp once again on this topic. I think it's easy to get mixed up primarily because of all the false protestant ideas circulating around and because this topic isn't decisive and requires a base grounding in Catholic church history and traditions to decifer the symbolic that StJohn writes about and no doubt is referring not only to his times but ours too
It's been my understanding that Nero was the Beast during "The Great Tribulation" and the Roman Empire was the Anti-Christ, which makes sense seeing that apostate Israel was the "Great Harlot"...
A lot in the Protestant community seem to fear certain technological advancements as being the mark of the beast. I try to take a more rational approach to it.
Not strictly true. Evangelical Protestants are now able to envision HOW modern technology may make the mark POSSIBLE and they voice concerns. And they also see HOW modern technology is coming closer to making the activities of the beast's image possible, "And he [The false prophet] had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." So, while they could not say that technology was sufficient 100 years ago, we can all say, "Sure. It's now feasible or will be shortly." Remember, these same Evangelical Protestants in the mid-to late 1800s would just tell people matter-of-factly that a restored nation of Israel was going to happen, and they got that one correct. Is your "more rational" approach to embrace it?
Revelation 22:18-19 (ESV) 18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
Jesus did not condemn the wearing of phylacteries. He spoke against making them large and conspicuous in order to appear super devout. What he said was in the context of doing things for show rather than for the right reason, which is obedience to and devotion to God.
I've heard a lot recently about Jews that are believing in Christ, that he is the true Messiah, not converting to Christianity, but becoming Messianic Jews, Jews that believe that Christ is the Messiah
Nero was dead about 25 years before John wrote “antichrist shall come” (90-95AD) only way this fits is if the “Beast” (Rev 13) and the “antichrist” (1 John 2:18) are separate individuals (which many theologians believe they are the same) can someone clarify?
You will have to double check but, as I recall, Jimmy Akin dates the writing of Revelation the first half of 70 AD. It was August of the same year, if I recall correctly, that Jerusalem was destroyed. But please double check with Jimmy at Catholic Answers.
@@billlee2194 The header of my old Douay-Rheims states, "... St. John was in banishment by order of the cruel emperor Domitian, about sixty-four years after out Lord's Ascension." My Jerome Commentary (With Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur) states "The general information that we can extract from the Ap agrees with a late date, particularly 90-96." So, unless the Church has official come away from their long-held late dating of the writing of the Apocalypse.....
@@mcgeorgerl Well, I personally am the least one to know the facts but Jimmy Akin is not one to just throw out information without having his facts together. You would have to check with him at Cathoic Answers. If you can't get him, Tim Staples is excellenet and prompt in answering. If you like, I can give you Tim's email. Just let me know. God bless.
@@billlee2194 Yeah, the problem is that many Catholics go a bit "off doctrine". Unless they are able to cite right from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which most don't, they can stretch Church positions to the breaking point. Article 7 in the Catechism dealing with the basics of the end times is just 5 pages long and is not intended to be a Biblical Commentary of all the apocalyptic writings in the Old and New Testaments. Pushing the writing of the Apocalypse (Revelation) to a time earlier than 70AD is popular (And fundamental) to the Preterist view which the Church rejects.
@@mcgeorgerl Thanks. This is above my paygrade so I emailed Tim Staples to get his input. I'll share it with you asap. I'm just the messinger and, even if Tim were to disagree with you, no big deal to me and you sound like you are much better read than I on this topic anyway. God bless.
Only look at the persecution of Catholics, even other Christians don't like us anymore, the Pope will likely be removed from power in some way, or an election won't happen, or whatever, but it's easy for me to imagine by looking at how rhe Catholic Church is being attacked from inside and out 😢
Where did I say the Pope will be removed? Give me a time stamp. Its been a while since I made this video, I just went through the script and I dont see it. I dont velieve Ive ever said we would be without a Pope. The Pope will flee Rome and be killed and it may be a while before we get another one, months or maybe even a couple of years. But thats not unusual given church history
I thought we were supposed to talk about the end times immediately before Advent, as the Church Year ends and we celebrate the solemnity of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. At least, that's what my priest did at my Church during his November homilies.
Focusing on the end times is actually a waste of time for the most part. Our focus should only be on our Salvation and not the End Times. Don't worry about tomorrow because it will take care of itself. Worry about today and your Salvation that is at hand.
User, I can agree considering the end times is good if it entails awaiting the return of Jesus or looking to be with Him if we die first but, I would disagree if the end time view has anything to do with the Darby rapture and all it entail. That view is a complete waste of time and can even be dangerous.
I think worrying about the actual end times is a waste of time. We have enough to worry about for our own personal end time which could arrive today. We need to be prepared and waiting on our moment we meet the Lord. Billions of people have come and gone and still no end time for the world. Every generation has thought the end times would be in their generation including Billy Graham in 1951. Every last prophesy has been wrong. It's time to let go of John Nelson Darby and Tim LaHaye. Might it come in our livetime? Sure but what will it mean if we ourselves are not prepared? God bless
There is a school of thought that interprets the Millenarianism (that word) as the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Our Lord JesusChrist reigns on Earth in Eucharist way. A true Eucharist Revival. Ave Christus Rex! Salve Maria Regina!
Not a great military leader, he was quickly captured and compelled to convert to Islam! 😄 He was a false Jewish Messiach. The Antichrist is someone who will built the Third Temple and subjugate the whole world to his/their laws. People were be deluded into believing his righteousness. I wonder who that could be...
I know people are very quick to denounce full preterism, but I'd highly encourage people to look into it. It explains everything so well as long as you have a a proper hermeneutic. To gain a proper hermeneutic, the "Covenant Hermeneutics and Biblical Eschatology" podcast with Gary Demar and Kim Burgess is fantastic.
Interesting topic. This would be a good question for either Tim Staples or Jimmy Akin at Catholic Answers. I did ask my Catholic AI and got the following: "Since Full Preterism is not a widely accepted or recognized theological position within mainstream Christianity, it has not been the subject of discussion or deliberation in any church council."
@@billlee2194 yep it's definitely not a popular topic, but actually there were quite a few early Catholic fathers who were full preterists, even in the first century
@@alekseyvalentinov9361 Uh... I'm going to have to have you name them and cite those references so we can look them up. Or are you just repeating what you've heard?
From my Catholic AI for what it's worth :) One biblical reference that has been associated with the notion of a generation lasting 40 years is the Israelites' wandering in the wilderness. In Numbers 14:33-34, after the Israelites grumbled and rebelled against God, He declared that they would wander in the wilderness for 40 years, with each day representing a year. This period of wandering is often understood as a generation, as it is stated in Psalm 95:10, "For forty years I loathed that generation and said, 'They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they do not know my ways.'"
@@eveningprimrose3088 Rabbi meant teacher, it was an honorific in Christ's time. The Jews had the Temple Priests, the Sanhedrin and the High Priest. After the destruction of the Temple, the Pharisees (scribes) gradually appropriated the term, began to compile the Talmud and the Tanakh (their adulterated Old Testament), and we begin to see the establishment of essentially a new religion, Talmudic (or, Rabbinical) Judaism, with the trained rabbis. We see the establishment of the rebbe and their dynasties in Poland-Lithuania. Any End Times philosophy or teaching that makes these people heroes is blatantly heretical and false.
Do you really believe that we have just had 1000 years of peace where God's Will has been done globally on earth as it is in heaven? Where swords have been beaten into ploughshares (instead of war), where creation has been returned to harmony with man, where the people who lived in moral darkness have seen a great light (of spiritual illumination) causing God's rule over all the nations in justice from sea to sea? This is what Christ taught the Church to hope and pray for. It hasn't happened yet but it will soon as the chastisement grows during the WWIII, and afterwards an era of peace will cover the earth under Christ's (spiritual not physical) rule until the devil is loosed once more and Christ returns in glory to finally vanquish him at the end of the world.
The " 1000 year riegn" in Revelation 20 says none of that. All it says is they will riegn with christ 1000 years. But that riegn is in heaven. Rev 20 4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years. It says Satan will be bound so he can't fool the nations. In other words , the gospel can spread. Not that he can't do other things
@@imisschristendom5293 The only prayer Christ taught us was to prayer for the coming of his Kingdom where the Father's will would be done on EARTH as it is in heaven. This must happen before the second coming.
I think that we are probably in the last leg of the end times. And there may be one more great persacution coming and Nero was an example of how it would be repeated near the end times. I don't believe we are ever getting raptured away we don't put on armor to fly.
The catechism says this 674 The glorious Messiah's coming is suspended at every moment of history until his recognition by "all Israel", for "a hardening has come upon part of Israel" in their "unbelief" toward Jesus.569 St. Peter says to the Jews of Jerusalem after Pentecost: "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for establishing all that God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old."570 St. Paul echoes him: "For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?"571 The "full inclusion" of the Jews in the Messiah's salvation, in the wake of "the full number of the Gentiles",572 will enable the People of God to achieve "the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ", in which "God may be all in all". Not that catechisms in and of themselves are dogmatic. But it does reflect the common teaching of the Church on this matter, which is binding. Something does not have to be declared infallibly in order for us to be bound to believe. If it's the common teaching, but not infallible, you are bound to believe it unless you have grave reason not to. But that reason must be rooted in theology and tradition in order for you to say it's wrong. Not because you have a certain attitude towards a group of people the bible and tradition are pretty clear that the jews will accept Jesus as the messiah.
@I Miss Christendom thanks. However, I think it's clear that this already happened prior to 70AD. As it stands now there no longer exists any Jewish/israelite peoples. They were all genocided off the earth by way of inter mixing or killing. The 10 northern tribes had already been genocided by the assyrians centuries before Christ and all that remained were the two tribes of the house of Judah (jews). The Romans finished off the jews in the 70sAD. Those claiming to be jews today do not have a direct line of succession to Abraham. So, this is actually impossible to fulfill in any futuristic sense. This is behind us and not in front. It's already done!! Thanks again!
@@ugotlj4133 my understanding is that because the Northern kingdom of Isreal (10 tribes of Isreal) were conquered, dispersed and assimilated amongst the Gentile nations, that when proclamation of the Gospel went out to the Gentile nations (first their conversion) then by this the lost Israelites will be converted, since they are now part (assimilated) of the Gentile nations. First converts were the Jews (Tribe of Benjamin and Judah -- aka Southern Kingdom of Judah from whence the word "Jew" derived), then the Gentiles, and last the lost Israelites within those nations. We also have Jewish converts still occurring calling themselves "Messianic Jews". God bless P.S. the Isrealites were not all "genocided"as you state. And there are still some (few) Jewish peoples with direct lineage to Abraham (very few). The remainder were/are converts ie: Sephardic and especially Ashkenazi Jews. Nonetheless, being "Jewish" per se, is not about blood, but about adoption into that Faith and lifestyle. Many examples in the OT, and also the 4 women mentioned by name in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew's Gospel.
@@coolcatbaron Welcome to the convo. The issue is that ALL of the Jews that were going to come in have come in already. All of the Gentiles that were going to come in have come in already. The Church has been fully built and is now established upon the earth and in heaven and reigns forevermore. Nobody can prove that they are in the bloodline of Abraham...except Jesus Christ. Those that claim to be Jews today do not have any more proof that they are Jews than do Japanese people. It is completely farse.
@@billlee2194 unfortunately 😕 the romanists consider this an unbloody sacrifice and are literally eating Jesus. Macabre. What Christ finished on the cross romanists continue on an altar. Jesus spoke in parables. He also said He was the door. Why not worship a door??
@@mikehartley9352 because when he speaks in parables he makes it clear and explains here men left the last supper because they understood what Jesus said and Jesus didnt explain what he said.
David Currie, a Prior Baptist, wrote a massage book on the end times, the rapture and dispensationalism. I never knew the topic was that complicated. The title of the book is 'Rapture: the end times error that leaves the Bible Behind'. The reason your comment reminded me of this book is, in it, David list a number of end time predictions in every century beginning with Paul. I had no idea such historical records were kept. The one I best recall is Billy Graham predicting in 1951 that the world would end in two years. That was, of course, 1953. The predictions will never end and each new person will believe they alone finally got it right.
Read Romans, it's all defined for the Church of Rome. Perfectly in line with what was written in other scriptures and likewise perfectly in line with what God showed Pope Leo XIII. All thanks and praise be to God. All I can say is "Be the feet that God uses to crush that serpents head." So it was written, so it shall be. Shall we be soldiers of Christ or shall we be deceived and serve the deceiver? It's all answered in Thessalonians: "Tenete Traditiones". God is too kind, He told us everything we need to know in advance. Stay safe, God bless.
Keep an eye out for the AC. Decernment is needed as he will hide himself in plane sight for a while. Check out the new French PM, a Jewish young man raised cstholic from Tunisia where his parents are from. Maybe maybe not.
You should read David Currie's book The Rapture:..... He includes a list over 2,000 years with names and dates of folks who have predicted the end times including Billy Graham in the early 1950s. Every prediction, as we know, has been wrong.
Thank you Yes Protestants Call it Expository Bible study Chapter by chapter verse by verse. Different than our Mass readings Which are held together by a common golden thread We don’t just sit down and eat one thing for dinner Metaphor that led to misunderstanding scripture Reading it in isolation With a microscope The Catholic way is better Our plate has vegetables potatoes meat for better nutrition So is reading the Bible It’s a banquet Enjoy the Catholic way of reading the Bible I get it now
Revelation 20:1-5 New King James Version Satan Bound 1,000 Years 20 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Revelation 20:4 says quite clearly Jesus reigns with the Saints for 1000 years. Chapter 19 tells of Jesus coming down from heaven to defeat Satan's army. The beginning of chapter 20 tells of an angel coming down from heaven with keys to the pit. It doesn't say Jesus came down defeated the armies and returned to heaven.
isaiah's prophecy of the lamb making his home with the wolf was fulfilled when Peter established the church in rome, the city of the wolf. the mark of the beast in revelation was fulfilled in the reign of Trajan, possibly Domitian, when christians had to sacrifice incense to the image of the emperor. the beast in revelation is indeed Nero because of two manuscript families as witness, 666, and 616 gematria. the prince was Titus. and just as the hebrews wandered for 40 years in the desert, God allowed sacrifices at the temple for 40 years after the crucifixion: Jesus died on passover 33 ad, and the last jewish resistance with any hope of reviving temple sacrifice ended in Masada when it fell on passover 73 ad. although the temple was destroyed was destroyed in 70 ad, it took the romans 3.5 years to level the temple even tear its foundations because the gold and silver from the temple melted and flowed through the cracks broken by the fire; this is the reason there is no trace of the temple. the entire New Testament was finished with the book of revelation in 67 ad.
No, much of what is in Revelation has not occurred, clearly. The nature of many prophecies recorded in the Bible is that they are fulfilled more than once.
i’m not a protestant, and i can see how wrong you are. Though you are more right than the one’s you are attacking, but being more correct Biblically than them doesn’t make your religious theological rhetoric correct.
The Anti-Christ is a man of science, and immortality thru science, mind and moral law through A.I. He's already here somewhere. This is what the reformation brought about.
Hell shall not prevail against the Catholic Church. It may well be driven underground and persecuted, just as it's founder, Jesus Christ, was. God bless!

My family are all Protestants and my state is all Protestant. I will be torched by them for thinking this way, and I don’t know at all how to go about this from here. Just out of nowhere I feel I’m called to “go home” in a sense and I feel it’s the Catholic Church. Very happy and confusing times I’m in.
Praying for you and I feel the same way! I grew up Protestant, but decided to convert to Catholicism this year a few months ago. I go so much pushback from my mom who is Protestan, but I wouldn't let that deter me from my decision.

When I was Baptist, the rapture was mentioned often. Then, after I became Catholic, I began researching the rapture theory. It's an interesting study which I was clueless about. We mostly went by what the Left Behind series said which, I suppose, came from John Darby's camp. I think our best sources, as Catholics, are well read Protestants who converted to Catholicism. Men like David Currie, David Anders, Tim Staples and his CA crew. That's because the Catholic church doesn't embrace the theory. The Church simply embraces what Scripture says which, from what I know, this video covers but in more graphics means.
Well done! Concise, precise and true to Catholic teachings.
God bless

Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then most gracious advocate thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Oh clement, oh loving, oh sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us oh Holy Mother of God, that we be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
Amen

Amen, we really need our Holy Mother in this modern doctrinal chaos
The failed prophecies of the American Evangelical church will bring their end. If they are wrong on that, what else were they wrong about?
David Currie's book about the rapture contains a chronological list of ppl who had predicted the end of the world over the last 2,000 years. They each had their reasons for their belief but, of course, they were all wrong.

I’m Protestant and I detest date setters also. Careful not to throw the baby out with the water because of these guys who are the sensationalists. Plenty of solid evangelicals who have carefully, thoughtfully, and diligently lay out biblical truths, not Bible sourced, interpretations. This is a HUGE difference. John MacArthur, RC Sproul, D James Kennedy, Scott Ardavanis, William Barrick, Jack Hibbs, Amir Tsarfati (completed Jew by the way!), Barry Stagner, Sam Musgrave, Andrei Sava, Johnny Ardavanis, Costi Hinn (he separated from his Uncle Benny Hinn after true conversion for his uncle is a false teacher taking in millions!), etc
@@billlee2194The Rapture is a relatively new idea. Origins are sometime early 19th century, in the US

Only a small group of fundamenatlist still hold to this theory, usually Baptist minded folks. They tend to cling to it rather vehamently. My dear Baptist sister being one :).
As an ex-Baptist, slowly becoming Catholic, it was the Rapture that was the biggest red flag for me. None of it made any sense, and none of the verses they point to seem to actually be saying what they believe they are saying. It almost seems like a spiritual blindness.
Yeah thats why when I was Baptist, I looked forward to the apocalypse because I thought I would not have to endure it

A great number of Priests and Bishops are more interested in the current secular 'Church of Nice' where we don't talk about anything that's negative or accepting. That's why most Catholics don't hear about the end of times.
Seems like a slippery slope, if you're always focused on the end then are you really doing much to minister to people in the here and now?
@@Murph_gaming There's plenty of 'hear and now' matters people like you overlook.
@@nl396 who are people like me? I'll wait..
@n...best to be concerned about our own personal endtime. God will take care of the final one. The actual end time you speak of might come today or a billion years in the future. Truth is, we don't know. I once read a book that recorded famous people or conditions in every past century when people thought the end times would be any time beginning with Paul. It happened during all the plaguede and world wars. Billy Graham predicted circa 1953. The book 1988 predicted 1988. The very next year, he predicted 1989. People have dropped their life and health insurance all because they thought the end was here. The other person stated correctly that end time conspiracy folks can be tempted to avoid helping others.

I was raised nominally Protestant, but was never a student of Protestant eschatology. I left Protestantism many years ago, today embracing the Orthodoxy.
There is unfortunately no coherent eschatology in the Orthodox Church, so I have spent a lot of time researching Catholic teaching in this area.
In 2010, I experienced a vision of Christ in my home that included many miracles both in private and in public places. I wrote a book about some of these things that I published in 2016.
When Christ appeared to me, he spoke to me audibly and called me to write down everything I heard him say, which I share with many others by various means including social media platforms like this one.
I hear a lot of things in your discussion that concern me due to the teaching I was given when the Lord Jesus appeared to me.
I certainly don't claim to understand everything in the book of Revelation, but there are some key teachings that Christian believers are embracing that they will never see materialize.
I'm not posting this comment to go over every detail or to address every one of your points in the video. I'll just give you one particular example as a small sample of how we differ.
You said that the destruction of the temple in 70 AD was the judgement of God upon the Jews, and that is totally correct.
You then say that the prophecy of Jesus about a false Messiah to be embraced by the Jews has not yet occurred, and will be fulfilled by the future beast in Revelation.
In fact, the very prophecy in Matthew 24 about the destruction of the temple and the removal of every foundation stone beneath it was fulfilled both in 70 AD and in 135 AD.
Yes, the temple was completely desecrated in 70 AD by Rome, however the removal of the foundation stones did not occur until the end of the Simon Bar-Kopka revolt between 132 and 135 AD.
Who was Simon Bar-Kopka? He was the self-proclaimed Jewish Messiah the Jews embraced when they went to battle against Rome in 132 AD!
It was this event that led Rome to completely surround Jerusalem, massacre every Jewish fighter, and trigger the great Jewish diaspora.
Just three years later, Rome pulled every stone in the city out of the ground, exactly as Jesus had said.
In Daniel we read that a future world tyrant will deny the god of his own ancestry, regarding only the god of military might.
No future Jewish Messiah could possibly deny the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, nor could an Islamic Mahdi deny Allah.
The future beast, Antichrist, or whatever you want to call him, will not be messianic, but rather a secularist.
Trace this comment if you want to know more. God bless!
The Antichrist will either be Satan himself in the flesh or a man who was given the world to him just like the devil offered to Jesus. Both will be intellectually gifted who comes from Jewish or Christian decent.
Nicely done. And, I would like to suggest that you never feel any shame over the affiliation with Orthodoxy. It is not for me as I see clearly in the Catholic fixture the truth of the origins. I see too the reality of the issue with a central authority, but, we humans need that and to be united in our faith, love and dedication to Jesus Christ we must have a common administration that provides a congealing effect. We have this consolation from Christ and I hear it in my mind’s eye every single day, “The gates of hell will not prevail against it”, in respect to His Church. We are, even if some think not, one. I don’t know about the Prots, my jury is on alert over that. I see a TON of heresy swarming out from that but, I know that Jesus is in that mix too… …but, it is an easy place for Satan to resource unwitting laborers to spill his hate; since they have a hate doctrine stitched into their teaching. Anyway, that was a nice response you reeled out up there. Gratitudes!

How does the Great Monarch prophecy fit in? It seems to be in alignment.

There is a 4th "Catching Up" that is gaining in popularity called "Pre-Wrath". Many of those moving to the "Pre-Wrath" event are former "Pre-Tribbers" who do not find scriptural support for the position.
This video is an excellent exploration on the end times, antichrist and return of Jesus Christ. I commend and thank you for your comprehensive video. Even though I have studied and read several books Catholic on this topic I found you helped simplify it further so I could get a grasp once again on this topic. I think it's easy to get mixed up primarily because of all the false protestant ideas circulating around and because this topic isn't decisive and requires a base grounding in Catholic church history and traditions to decifer the symbolic that StJohn writes about and no doubt is referring not only to his times but ours too
It's been my understanding that Nero was the Beast during "The Great Tribulation" and the Roman Empire was the Anti-Christ, which makes sense seeing that apostate Israel was the "Great Harlot"...
A lot in the Protestant community seem to fear certain technological advancements as being the mark of the beast. I try to take a more rational approach to it.
So to fear some "technologies" is ipso facto to be irrational?
Not strictly true. Evangelical Protestants are now able to envision HOW modern technology may make the mark POSSIBLE and they voice concerns. And they also see HOW modern technology is coming closer to making the activities of the beast's image possible, "And he [The false prophet] had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." So, while they could not say that technology was sufficient 100 years ago, we can all say, "Sure. It's now feasible or will be shortly." Remember, these same Evangelical Protestants in the mid-to late 1800s would just tell people matter-of-factly that a restored nation of Israel was going to happen, and they got that one correct. Is your "more rational" approach to embrace it?
Revelation 22:18-19 (ESV) 18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
Jesus did not condemn the wearing of phylacteries. He spoke against making them large and conspicuous in order to appear super devout. What he said was in the context of doing things for show rather than for the right reason, which is obedience to and devotion to God.
There is much cyclical history that lines up with the prophecies of Revelation. I truly hope that we are nearing the conclusion.
I've heard a lot recently about Jews that are believing in Christ, that he is the true Messiah, not converting to Christianity, but becoming Messianic Jews, Jews that believe that Christ is the Messiah
Messianic Judaism is another form of protestantism, they *are* Christians
I think the simplistic answer is always the best. John was most likely talking about the time he was in and not 2,000 years into the future.
But so many things he described have obviously not occurred yet.
Nero was dead about 25 years before John wrote “antichrist shall come” (90-95AD) only way this fits is if the “Beast” (Rev 13) and the “antichrist” (1 John 2:18) are separate individuals (which many theologians believe they are the same) can someone clarify?
You will have to double check but, as I recall, Jimmy Akin dates the writing of Revelation the first half of 70 AD. It was August of the same year, if I recall correctly, that Jerusalem was destroyed. But please double check with Jimmy at Catholic Answers.
@@billlee2194 The header of my old Douay-Rheims states, "... St. John was in banishment by order of the cruel emperor Domitian, about sixty-four years after out Lord's Ascension." My Jerome Commentary (With Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur) states "The general information that we can extract from the Ap agrees with a late date, particularly 90-96." So, unless the Church has official come away from their long-held late dating of the writing of the Apocalypse.....

@@billlee2194 Yeah, the problem is that many Catholics go a bit "off doctrine". Unless they are able to cite right from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which most don't, they can stretch Church positions to the breaking point. Article 7 in the Catechism dealing with the basics of the end times is just 5 pages long and is not intended to be a Biblical Commentary of all the apocalyptic writings in the Old and New Testaments. Pushing the writing of the Apocalypse (Revelation) to a time earlier than 70AD is popular (And fundamental) to the Preterist view which the Church rejects.

What do you mean by the pope will be removed from the situation?
Only look at the persecution of Catholics, even other Christians don't like us anymore, the Pope will likely be removed from power in some way, or an election won't happen, or whatever, but it's easy for me to imagine by looking at how rhe Catholic Church is being attacked from inside and out 😢

Is there anything truth to our Lady of Garabandal Prophecy about the Pope going to Moscow and when he returns to Rome Would war III brakes out ?
Dont know. My understanding is it came from Padre pio to Conchita. So if that part is true it doesnt mean Garabandal is.

I thought we were supposed to talk about the end times immediately before Advent, as the Church Year ends and we celebrate the solemnity of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. At least, that's what my priest did at my Church during his November homilies.
That was also discussed in OCIA class.
It should fall into the cycle of liturgical readings when Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 (The Olivet Discourses).
Focusing on the end times is actually a waste of time for the most part. Our focus should only be on our Salvation and not the End Times. Don't worry about tomorrow because it will take care of itself. Worry about today and your Salvation that is at hand.
Worry is a sin. Contemplating the End Times is not. Many of us are able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
The last book of the Bible is the only one in which Jesus specifically pronounces a blessing upon those who read it.
User, I can agree considering the end times is good if it entails awaiting the return of Jesus or looking to be with Him if we die first but, I would disagree if the end time view has anything to do with the Darby rapture and all it entail. That view is a complete waste of time and can even be dangerous.
I think worrying about the actual end times is a waste of time. We have enough to worry about for our own personal end time which could arrive today. We need to be prepared and waiting on our moment we meet the Lord. Billions of people have come and gone and still no end time for the world. Every generation has thought the end times would be in their generation including Billy Graham in 1951. Every last prophesy has been wrong. It's time to let go of John Nelson Darby and Tim LaHaye. Might it come in our livetime? Sure but what will it mean if we ourselves are not prepared? God bless

I know people are very quick to denounce full preterism, but I'd highly encourage people to look into it. It explains everything so well as long as you have a a proper hermeneutic. To gain a proper hermeneutic, the "Covenant Hermeneutics and Biblical Eschatology" podcast with Gary Demar and Kim Burgess is fantastic.
Interesting topic. This would be a good question for either Tim Staples or Jimmy Akin at Catholic Answers.
I did ask my Catholic AI and got the following:
"Since Full Preterism is not a widely accepted or recognized theological position within mainstream Christianity, it has not been the subject of discussion or deliberation in any church council."
@@billlee2194 yep it's definitely not a popular topic, but actually there were quite a few early Catholic fathers who were full preterists, even in the first century
@@alekseyvalentinov9361 Uh... I'm going to have to have you name them and cite those references so we can look them up. Or are you just repeating what you've heard?
Where does it say the generations are 40 years?
From my Catholic AI for what it's worth :)
One biblical reference that has been associated with the notion of a generation lasting 40 years is the Israelites' wandering in the wilderness. In Numbers 14:33-34, after the Israelites grumbled and rebelled against God, He declared that they would wander in the wilderness for 40 years, with each day representing a year. This period of wandering is often understood as a generation, as it is stated in Psalm 95:10, "For forty years I loathed that generation and said, 'They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they do not know my ways.'"
It doesn't. But it's probably close in today's lifespans.
Any end times that made the rabbis heroes are anathema
You mean, any of the rabbis except Jesus?
@@eveningprimrose3088 Rabbi meant teacher, it was an honorific in Christ's time. The Jews had the Temple Priests, the Sanhedrin and the High Priest. After the destruction of the Temple, the Pharisees (scribes) gradually appropriated the term, began to compile the Talmud and the Tanakh (their adulterated Old Testament), and we begin to see the establishment of essentially a new religion, Talmudic (or, Rabbinical) Judaism, with the trained rabbis. We see the establishment of the rebbe and their dynasties in Poland-Lithuania. Any End Times philosophy or teaching that makes these people heroes is blatantly heretical and false.
Who said Christ would leave after the thousand years?
Answer: no one
I honestly have never heard that one before either and I've been at this nearly 50 years.
Do you really believe that we have just had 1000 years of peace where God's Will has been done globally on earth as it is in heaven? Where swords have been beaten into ploughshares (instead of war), where creation has been returned to harmony with man, where the people who lived in moral darkness have seen a great light (of spiritual illumination) causing God's rule over all the nations in justice from sea to sea? This is what Christ taught the Church to hope and pray for. It hasn't happened yet but it will soon as the chastisement grows during the WWIII, and afterwards an era of peace will cover the earth under Christ's (spiritual not physical) rule until the devil is loosed once more and Christ returns in glory to finally vanquish him at the end of the world.
The " 1000 year riegn" in Revelation 20 says none of that.
All it says is they will riegn with christ 1000 years. But that riegn is in heaven.
Rev 20
4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Where do u get this part about the conversion of the jews as a necessary belief?
The catechism says this
674
The glorious Messiah's coming is suspended at every moment of history until his recognition by "all Israel", for "a hardening has come upon part of Israel" in their "unbelief" toward Jesus.569 St. Peter says to the Jews of Jerusalem after Pentecost: "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for establishing all that God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old."570 St. Paul echoes him: "For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?"571 The "full inclusion" of the Jews in the Messiah's salvation, in the wake of "the full number of the Gentiles",572 will enable the People of God to achieve "the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ", in which "God may be all in all".
Not that catechisms in and of themselves are dogmatic.
But it does reflect the common teaching of the Church on this matter, which is binding.
Something does not have to be declared infallibly in order for us to be bound to believe.
If it's the common teaching, but not infallible, you are bound to believe it unless you have grave reason not to. But that reason must be rooted in theology and tradition in order for you to say it's wrong.
Not because you have a certain attitude towards a group of people
the bible and tradition are pretty clear that the jews will accept Jesus as the messiah.
@I Miss Christendom
thanks. However, I think it's clear that this already happened prior to 70AD. As it stands now there no longer exists any Jewish/israelite peoples. They were all genocided off the earth by way of inter mixing or killing. The 10 northern tribes had already been genocided by the assyrians centuries before Christ and all that remained were the two tribes of the house of Judah (jews). The Romans finished off the jews in the 70sAD. Those claiming to be jews today do not have a direct line of succession to Abraham. So, this is actually impossible to fulfill in any futuristic sense.
This is behind us and not in front. It's already done!! Thanks again!
@@ugotlj4133 my understanding is that because the Northern kingdom of Isreal (10 tribes of Isreal) were conquered, dispersed and assimilated amongst the Gentile nations, that when proclamation of the Gospel went out to the Gentile nations (first their conversion) then by this the lost Israelites will be converted, since they are now part (assimilated) of the Gentile nations. First converts were the Jews (Tribe of Benjamin and Judah -- aka Southern Kingdom of Judah from whence the word "Jew" derived), then the Gentiles, and last the lost Israelites within those nations. We also have Jewish converts still occurring calling themselves "Messianic Jews".
God bless
P.S. the Isrealites were not all "genocided"as you state. And there are still some (few) Jewish peoples with direct lineage to Abraham (very few). The remainder were/are converts ie: Sephardic and especially Ashkenazi Jews.
Nonetheless, being "Jewish" per se, is not about blood, but about adoption into that Faith and lifestyle. Many examples in the OT, and also the 4 women mentioned by name in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew's Gospel.

@@coolcatbaron Welcome to the convo. The issue is that ALL of the Jews that were going to come in have come in already. All of the Gentiles that were going to come in have come in already. The Church has been fully built and is now established upon the earth and in heaven and reigns forevermore.

The amount of wrong Evangelical end time predictions is getting ridiculous and out of control but no one calls them on their cookery.
David Currie, a Prior Baptist, wrote a massage book on the end times, the rapture and dispensationalism. I never knew the topic was that complicated. The title of the book is 'Rapture: the end times error that leaves the Bible Behind'. The reason your comment reminded me of this book is, in it, David list a number of end time predictions in every century beginning with Paul. I had no idea such historical records were kept. The one I best recall is Billy Graham predicting in 1951 that the world would end in two years. That was, of course, 1953. The predictions will never end and each new person will believe they alone finally got it right.
404 verses in Revelation. Re-sequence, re-arrange the verses.
Start and end with the Alpha & Omega
Read Romans, it's all defined for the Church of Rome.
Perfectly in line with what was written in other scriptures and likewise perfectly in line with what God showed Pope Leo XIII.
All thanks and praise be to God.
All I can say is "Be the feet that God uses to crush that serpents head."
So it was written, so it shall be.
Shall we be soldiers of Christ or shall we be deceived and serve the deceiver?
It's all answered in Thessalonians:
"Tenete Traditiones".

Keep an eye out for the AC. Decernment is needed as he will hide himself in plane sight for a while. Check out the new French PM, a Jewish young man raised cstholic from Tunisia where his parents are from. Maybe maybe not.
You should read David Currie's book The Rapture:..... He includes a list over 2,000 years with names and dates of folks who have predicted the end times including Billy Graham in the early 1950s. Every prediction, as we know, has been wrong.

Satan Bound 1,000 Years
20 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Revelation 20:4 says quite clearly Jesus reigns with the Saints for 1000 years. Chapter 19 tells of Jesus coming down from heaven to defeat Satan's army. The beginning of chapter 20 tells of an angel coming down from heaven with keys to the pit.
It doesn't say Jesus came down defeated the armies and returned to heaven.
Hmmm
2nd to none! 🙏
Dr. Taylor Marshall put forth the idea that Pope Benedict XVI was the restrainer.
Taylor Marshall is devoted, strong in his Faith to the Catholic Church. Nevertheless he is in error about some things. His heart is good
isaiah's prophecy of the lamb making his home with the wolf was fulfilled when Peter established the church in rome, the city of the wolf. the mark of the beast in revelation was fulfilled in the reign of Trajan, possibly Domitian, when christians had to sacrifice incense to the image of the emperor. the beast in revelation is indeed Nero because of two manuscript families as witness, 666, and 616 gematria. the prince was Titus. and just as the hebrews wandered for 40 years in the desert, God allowed sacrifices at the temple for 40 years after the crucifixion: Jesus died on passover 33 ad, and the last jewish resistance with any hope of reviving temple sacrifice ended in Masada when it fell on passover 73 ad. although the temple was destroyed was destroyed in 70 ad, it took the romans 3.5 years to level the temple even tear its foundations because the gold and silver from the temple melted and flowed through the cracks broken by the fire; this is the reason there is no trace of the temple. the entire New Testament was finished with the book of revelation in 67 ad.
No, much of what is in Revelation has not occurred, clearly.
The nature of many prophecies recorded in the Bible is that they are fulfilled more than once.

i’m not a protestant, and i can see how wrong you are. Though you are more right than the one’s you are attacking, but being more correct Biblically than them doesn’t make your religious theological rhetoric correct.

The Anti-Christ is a man of science, and immortality thru science, mind and moral law through A.I. He's already here somewhere. This is what the reformation brought about.
The mark is coming ppl watch
So true, just like Christ Jesus SOON... Thanks
The prophesy of the end times is that of Jesus Christ. The catholic church will be destroyed. Revelation chapter 17.
Hell shall not prevail against the Catholic Church. It may well be driven underground and persecuted, just as it's founder, Jesus Christ, was.
God bless!
@@Dienekes678 Yes this is true for His church. The catholic church through disobedience left His church a long time ago. You can tell them by their fruits. Millions have died around the world due to the actions of the catholic church.
@@francissweeney7318 more rubbish, again Francis. May your eyes be opened one day. God bless.
@@Dienekes678 So the prophesy of Jesus Christ concerning the catholic church is "rubbish" to you ?
@@francissweeney7318 your twisting and false interpretation of it are rubbish. God bless.
