Praise God for these two humble, faithful and anointed pastors: J.D. (for prophecy updates with powerful gospel message) and Andy Woods (for his excellent solid Bible teachings)! Unsubscribed already many “Christian” channels (as led by the Holy Spirit) because their contents are becoming increasingly carnal and sensational in nature, can’t stomach them anymore. Maranatha Jesus!
Yes. Here I am 2 years later and had wasted much of my time listening to many false self proclaimed prophets on TH-cam. Holy Spirit opened my eyes. Well, Him and the fact they were clearly lying because nothing they said happened. Live and learn!
This my first time to listen to Ptr Andy Woods. Thank you for a beautiful and blessed message about the Rapture. I am looking forward and looking up to heaven for Jesus Christ to come!
@@MrTwige There is NO rapture for those who DO NOT believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and how he died on the cross, was buried and rose from the dead three days later and now sits at the right-hand of the Father. For those who DO NOT believe in him will go before the White Throne, bow before him and receive their Judgement from a Righteous God. Accept Jesus Christs as your Savior so you don't spend your Eternity in hell.
@@MrTwige Forgiveness of sins was a gift from God, and it says in the Bible he will call us with a shout and a trumpet and we will meet him in the air. The raptured Christians will come back with Jesus riding white horses at the Second Coming, and he sets his feet on the Mount of Olives. The Tribulation is for Israel not the church. Stay if you want to but I will be enjoying a wedding feast in heaven with my Savior whilst the Tribulation is going on, on earth.
@@MrTwige ! Thessalonians 4: 13-18 KJV 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Yes! Me too. I have had serious concerns about whether my daughter in law is saved. This message was comforting because it speaks directly to “Lot” type people in my life. 😇
The rapture, or what the Bible calls the Ressurection, is easily timed if you STICK TO SCRIPTURE. I Thess 3:16 says that the dead rise first, then those alive in Christ. I Cor 15:52 says it occurs at the LAST TRUMPET (Rev11:18)!!! And is further reinforced by the fact that many Christians are killed because they refuse the mark of the beast DURING THE TRIBULATION and are ressurected in the FIRST Ressurection (Rev 20:4-5). There are not only other scriptures to back this up, but also there are ABSOLUTELY NO SCRIPTURES that support a rapture BEFORE the tribulation, although there are some scriptures that indicate some in the church will be protected during the tribulation. It's so disturbing that preachers spend so much time on this issue without any substantial scriptural backing. You have to wonder what the motivation is for this. Perhaps it makes a good incentive for church attendence.
Wow this is a fantastic message. I’ve listened to so many messages about the rapture and was never convinced of pre trib but this one was really great, you covered things I hadn’t thought about before. Thank you, what a blessing.
Amen! I'm so happy for you that the Holy Spirit led you to believe the truth about the rapture. Too many people are deceived by satan and claim the Church will go through tribulation. As you can now plainly see, the Church is raptured before tribulation. Ignore all the mockers and scoffers. God bless you.
Dr woods you alway out do your self in your teaching gift. I can honestly say that God has gifted you with an awesome teaching gift that stand out from all the rest. And God used a lawyer to do it. Jesus is awesome.

A lawyer is usually keen and trained in thinking very logically and rationally and to combine different sections of Law drawing the right conclusions to prove a matter so a good lawyer for GOD can seal the deal as a bible teacher! 👍👍
@@edwardpaterson1957 You need to research the differences between the rapture and the Second Coming. Let me pray for you.... Heavenly Father, I pray you will give this person wisdom concerning Your Holy Word. Obviously this person has been deceived by satan and cannot rightly divide the Word of Truth. Lord, allow this person to see the difference between the Church, which is raptured before tribulation, and the tribulation, which is only for Israel because they rejected Jesus as the Messiah. God bless this person. In Jesus' Name. Amen..... At the rapture, Christ "appears" (1 Thessalonians 4:17) ; at the Second Coming Jesus returns with the saints (Revelation 19). At the rapture, we're called UP to meet Jesus in the air with a shout and the trumpet call of GOD; the Last Trumpet is blown by an angel at the end of tribulation. See these differences? There are many more...
Exceptional teaching. I like the typology method of teaching. All the methods you do use, illuminates wisdom from God's Word! Thank You Pastor Woods, for your excellent careful teaching! God bless!
People have heroes in Hollywood, singers in every aspect you can think . Jesus is not my hero but my first one true love . Jesus is my God who I would bow my knee and worship. I love Jesus that I long continuously for .
Glad I found you through Pastor J.D. Farag. Studied Revelation when I was 16 in Sunday school. Now, 55 years old and witnessing God's own Word coming to fruition.
I lived that carnal believer's life for 48 years with alcohol and nicotine addiction, also promiscuous behavior I suffered all those things you listed. A miserable, miserable life that was wasted and effected my children. I had no communion with the Lord, even though I prayed all the time. I finally 2 1\2 years ago with God's grace and mercy changed me, I immediately stopped craving alcohol and nicotine. I have now been on a close fellowship with Jesus, daily. I pray God keeps me close so I never have to waste more of my life. Praise God for this.
JD Farag mentioned your books, and was talking about Don Stewart also representing your book on how it changed their mind and permanently solidified the reference second Thessalonians. 😊

@@edwardpaterson1957 Then, you can complain to Jesus and to the angels while we are in heaven during the tribulation and demand to be put back down on Earth to go through what God says we're not to go through. Or you can just enjoy yourself in heaven with the rest of us. Your choice.
@@TheOpendoormedia so you do not believe 1 Cor 15:52 when it says the Ressurection occurs AT THE LAST TRUMPET? because a pastor says otherwise. I can tell you the a million pastors cannot change that scripture. And btw, I would love to be removed from this Earth before "Jacob's trouble" occurs, and I certainly won't complain if I am. But read the scriptures I provided. The rapture is a false doctrine. And if you can, show me ONE scripture that says that the ressurection occurs BEFORE the tribulation.
@@edwardpaterson1957 many Bible teachers and scholars have all kinds of information all over the place on this. I go to them. I go on both sides and listen to both sides. But the Bible is very clear and has been taught from the early church of the pre-trib rapture. Again, this is not a salvational issue. This is just a doctrinal difference issue. But there are many many Bible scholars out there very easy to find that pre-trib rapture and they go through everything in Greek, Latin, Aramaic etc where it shows that the rapture, which is in the Bible, will take place. I'm not fighting you on this, I'm not arguing with you on this. JD Farag, Jack Hibbs, Amir Tsarfati, Jan Markel, Tom Hughes, Brandon Holthaus (though I am not big on the planet having lots of life between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 view), Berry Stagner, Don Stewart, Mike Macintosh, Hal Lindsey, Greg Laurie, Andy Woods...
What an absolute wonderful teaching!! I've never had a hard time believing in the pre tribulation rapture..it has always resonated in my heart and mind...it makes no sense for the Lord to make us endure the horrors of the tribulation when we have already made our choice of who we love, worship and follow...
Amen Pastor Andy. Thank you for this powerful series on the Biblical truth of the pretribulation rapture. It has been both edifying and encouraging. God bless you brother!
You are that wicked generation who have hate . You cannot love but you are condemned. You called yourself a Christian. Start searching the scriptures and ask God for wisdom to understand a true born again Christian. Good day 🙏
@@MrTwige the Lord Jesus rebuke you satan and your minions. Heavenly Father i ask that you deal with this person according how you see fit. Open this persons eyes amd soften their heart so that they can know you Father. They are completely smothered by the god of this world or by their own deceitful flesh. God, let your increase intensify with this person. Your will be done. In Jesus name we pray, amen
God bless you for doing this very edifying series brother,I look forward to each video so much I almost don’t want the series to end,but it must,we are going home soon brother Andy praise God.Marnatha.
OUTSTANDING. I’ve been working my way through this entire series. All of it great. But this finally unlocked the story of Lot for me! I haven’t seen anyone else address that conflict yet. Thank you! 💕❤️💕
Man what a storehouse of knowledge you are Andy, a man indeed blessed ✝by God, I always pray for spiritual wisdom, and since this "covid" thing I have learned more this past year than ALL of my Christian life, because I come from a long line of "dear" Mennonites, that are steeped in tradition which my wife and I have broken away from, where Revelation was NEVER EVER mentioned. So thank God for covid, what a blessing indeed. Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you, ask and it will be given to you.....I always say, you are going to know God as much as you want to know Him. 🕎
Rev. Woods: God's work and messages through you, have given me great hope and comfort. thank you so much for posting your teachings here on this platform. I wouldn't have heard this anywhere else.
Amazing to me the Word says God did not create Hell for man, but fallen angels. Yet some Christians believe even after our Lord gave his life in place of our sins and died and said it is finished "from his wrath" that somehow we must still go through the wrath of God. Which to me cheapens the sacrifice he went through to save us, which was horrible, to say the least. There is no grey area, he either died for all our sins, or else none. His Bride " Church" cant be here during Gods wrath.Or else it all makes no sense. His death for us would be in vain..
You cannot distinguish between God's wrath (Greek orge), the destruction of the wicked in hell and God's judgement on the believers (Amos 9:10; 1. Cor 11:29+30) and on unbelievers for repentance ( the vials in Rev are not orge wrath, but thumos wrath, they repented not, but they were not all destroyed, some sought and could not find death. The so called 7 year Tribulation is not God's wrath! The destruction of all the wicked will come at His 2. coming (Rev 6:16+17; 11:18; 16:19; 19:15) as it was in the days of Noah and Lot. The salvation of Lot (Rapture) and the Destruction of the wicked will come at the same day, not 7 years apart, at His 2. coming (Luke 17:29+30). There is only one coming of the Lord, He told us, after the GT (Mat24:29-31). There is only one resurrection for all believers (including the once of the Tribulation) at the First Resurrection.
@@benny-yj7pq Rev Ch.6:17 says the great day of his wrath is come, It past tense. it means it has been coming ,Even pagans finally figured it out.Before the 7th seal is open and way before the vials. And using the flood as an example only proves one thing, which is you wont find the word wrath in any old testament text describing the flood in spite of the fact that it was Gods wrath. If you believe Jesus went to prepare a place in his fathers house, John 14:2-4 for us but takes us up at his return only to instantly return right back to earth with him for 1000 years, explain how that works. And if all get resurrected bodies at his return than who goes into his kingdom as mortal humans having offspring ? and who do the 24 elders singing their song about themselves being redeemed from every tribe ,nation and tongue?Rev:5: 9-10 These people are in Heaven before with the first seal is even open. they already have their crowns. There is more than 1 resurrection. When Jesus rose many who slept in the grave came to life Matt 27-52.
@@benny-yj7pq And to say Gods wrath is only one day using Lot as an example doesn't prove anything. The flood took more than one day. The time of Jacobs trouble"the 70th week of Daniel is the entire last 7 years.Which is the wrath of God on unbelievers and to finally get Israel to acknowledge Jesus as their messiah. The Church has no reason to even be there during that time. If you believe its only one day literally you might as well believe its literally one hour only like it says in Rev:3-10. According to you we might get to spend one hour in the fathers house that Jesus has been preparing fo us for 2000 years.
Love this series and appreciate every teaching… getting me and my family ready for all that God has planned for us in the future. Eternally grateful. Love to all the brethren at SLBC. Miss you all. 🤍
So sad that there appears to be so many herein commenting who believe that they absolutely MUST go through and endure the tribulation/wrath. Those who sadly believe this, unfortunately fail to understand the nature of The Church and fail to understand the actual purpose for the tribulation.
I totally agree. But you can't convince spiritually dead people about the truth of the rapture. The Bible clearly teaches the reason for tribulation is for Israel because they rejected Jesus as the Messiah, not for the Church. God bless you. See you in the clouds soon...
Thank you again for this valuable lesson Pastor. Indeed you never talk too long; I could listen to your teaching for hours. Blessings for you and your church. Greetings from Sodom-Holland-Europe.
Pastor Woods: I REALLY appreciate this series on the Rapture. I particularly appreciate your in depth explanations, and in depth explorations of the Biblical history and passages that reinforce everything you teach. I have followed you from lesson #1 and intend to keep right on going. Thanks for your help. It has made a great positive impact in my life and has so enriched my understanding and appreciation of the Rapture and the entire Bible and teachings of Moses right on through Jesus Christ and the His apostles.
Luke supplementing Matthew's account to cover the church's destiny makes a lot of sense. Luke revealing Paul's doctrine of rapture would be the kind of tactic he would use to edify the church in their situation. The issue of Luke pointing out securing the safety of the believer first, and especially gentile believers at that, just makes good contextual, edificatory, and revelatory sense. I especially focus on Christ using the phrase, "In the day when the Son of man is revealed" which foreshadows John's "The revelation of Jesus Christ... the Day of the Lord" (Rev 1:1, 10)
Yes, Dr Woods, another great teaching on the Rapture. I hope you continue to make all your materials available to the public that are far away from Texas (Australia here)
Everything you said makes so much sense. I see so many living in the flesh yet, I know they are believers. It gets confusing especially now with people on facebook standing up for evil and many living carnally. calling evil good and good evil. being Carnal puts you in the devils will who wants to destroy everything good God has for us as believers. The Dead in Christ shall rise first! this part I love. we will meet them in the air with Jesus!
When the Lord destroyed the cities of the Plane,HE remembered Abraham and saved Lot out of the distruction with which HE smote the cities where Lot laid his dwelling.
The reason Lot is called righteous is because he believed God. He believed that Sodom and Gomorrah was going to be destroyed. He didn’t just sit around doing nothing. It’s the same with Abraham. Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him as being righteous. We’re not talking about their actions in what they did in life. We’re talking about the fact that Lot believed God too. It’s the same reason God calls you or me righteous, we believe him. We believe the gospel. We aren’t righteous based on our actions. Remember Paul said then Abraham would be able to boast but not before the Father.
The rapture, or what the Bible calls the Ressurection, is easily timed if you STICK TO SCRIPTURE. I Thess 3:16 says that the dead rise first, then those alive in Christ. I Cor 15:52 says it occurs at the LAST TRUMPET (Rev11:18)!!!

It's so disturbing that preachers spend so much time on this issue without any substantial scriptural backing. You have to wonder what the motivation is for this. Perhaps it makes a good incentive for church attendence.
I'm very much praying and pleading Lot's case before God with regards to my own adult son who was raised in FAITH but today definitely might lose all of his reward. But I still plead for him to better be saved all naked but have his eternal LIFE saved. 🙏😩😥🙏
What I don’t understand is why all of a sudden pastors like Andy is saying apostasy in Thessalonians doesn’t mean the falling away from faith, that it means rapture when that’s not what apostasy means. From what it reads in Thessalonians the apostasy comes first which we are seeing now and then the rapture happens then the anti christ is revealed. I don’t understand why now the sudden change. The Bible says not to add or change anything and now we are changing the scriptures???
The KJV was the first ever to translate it to mean falling away. Almost every other translation used DEPARTURE as a translation. Most but not all translated it as DEPARTURE, but no one ever translated it as falling away until KJV did. Falling away??? Falling away from what? Yes some believe it means falling away from the faith, but that is no where in context of what is being talked about in that passage. Departure is, or taken out of the way is in perfect context. In fact, 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 are repeating verse 3 in that something (we can debate what that is) is taken out of the way, then the Wicked man of sin is revealed. Yes, there will be a falling away from the faith, and this passage could in some way be referring to that. But, falling away was not repeated a second time. Taken away, or taken out of the way, or departure was repeated, and that is what gives it significance.
I wish to thank you Dr. Woods for your ministry. I've now just finished listening to The Coming Kingdom series and will be purchasing the book. What a wonderful synthesis of what is wrong about 'christiandumb'. ( not your term I know ) The situation is grievous and I have personally suffered from the wrong doctrine you so masterfully elucidate for over 40 years. Praise God in the last few years I have been able to come out from them thanks to you and all the great names of dispensationalism you quote and admire. May the Lord protect you and yours and your ministry go on for a long long time.
Thanks Pastor Woods for the wonderful insights in the promiss of the rapture. From the Netherlands, one question on political activity as Christians. Doesn't 2 Peter say 'looking for and hasting (unto) the coming of Christ'? So we don't want to postpone it by our actions buy rather make history feed foreward towards His coming? Or is it our 1 Timothy 2 responsibility to play a role in the withholding if evil?
I was thinking the same thing about Lot his actions were not that of a saved man ... He offered up his daughtees to those wicked men 😢 I think he was under Abrahams righteousness is the only reason he was rescued.
I loved this teaching I was blessed and informed! Trying to find teaching you mentioned called - are you a lot like lot” I may have got the title wrong but was hunting everywhere with no success. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks God Bless!
You are Bible blessed passing on to us it's truths. A crown in Heaven awaits all who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ that saves a soul for God's glory. 1 Thessalonians chapter 2:verse 19; Philippians chapter 4:verse 1. Are we ready to meet our Lord in the air and sharing this hope ? John chapter 14: verse 1-3; *Titus chapter 2:verses 11 -14; Rev.chapter 3:verse 10; 1 Thessalonians chapter 5:verse 9. Another Crown awaits us 1 Peter 5:4 This praise resounds across the earth. "Jesus is Lord and only He saves". 2 Samuel chapter 22: Verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name." THE GOSPEL SAVES! God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world. Mark chapter 16: Verse 15: And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. How can anyone hear the "good" news? Romans chapter 10: verse 17 Then faith comes from hearing and hearing the word of God. Isaiah chapter 7: verse 14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day ! "HE IS RISEN" Matthew chapter 28: verse 6 Isaiah chapter 53: verse 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. - IT IS FOUNDED UPON GOD'S LOVE FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED John chapter 3: Verse 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans chapter 3: verse 23 " For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans chapter 6: verse 23 " Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.."John chapter 14.verse 6 "1 Corinthians chapter 15: verse 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER! And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John chapter 2: verse 2 Romans chapter 5:verse 8 But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him." “For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians chapter 5:verse 21. " In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians chapter 1:verse 7 Matthew chapter 26:verse 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (the life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life) "And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews chapter 9:verse 22 BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED Ephesians chapter 2:verse 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast. Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting in His death and in the shedding of His blood as payment for our sins, as well as in His resurrection from the dead, and we will be saved! TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH Romans 10: 9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart man believes in righteousness; And a confession by mouth is given for salvation. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John chapter 3: verse 16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation chapter 21: verse 8. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ”Romans chapter 5:verse 1
How about Hosea, Amos, Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel? We have to look at this to point where we're at now. Daniel speaks of Peace Deal which is in the works now, July 1.
What if they are in unbelief about the rapture, even mockers. Jesus could do little in his hometown for their unbelief. Carnality is not an issue, but many Christians despise this doctrine.
Enoch walked with God, lived 365 years and “was not” for God took him, he didn’t die and therefore he is actually the oldest living person. With Elijah coming in at 2nd place. 😉
The rapture issue is really a simple matter that many people have greatly complicated over the years. How can it be simple? There are only 2 main scriptures you need to know. These are 1. Mt. 13:24-30 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed ears, then the weeds also appeared. “The owner’s servants came to him and said, `Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ “`An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, `Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ “`No,’ he answered, `because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’“ The 1st clue is "Let both grow together until the harvest." When you know when that time is you will have the answer. Does the Bible tell us when the harvest will be? Yes. Where in scripture is it? 2. The book of Revelation chapter 14; Re. 14:14-20 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one “like a son of man” with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested. Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia. [That is, about 180 miles (about 300 kilometres)] The scripture in Matthew is a parable which is a story Jesus told to make a point. Every parable has truth in it even though some of the scenarios may not actually have happened exactly as described. So an explanation is needed. Mt. 13:10-17 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” He replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “`You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’ [Isaiah 6:9,10] But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it". What about all the other scriptures about the rapture? Some are legitimate and some have nothing to do with it. This agrees with all the legitimate NT scriptures. I'll reference some here if you want to do further study: Mt. 24:30-31, I Th. 5:1-11, II Th. 2:1-12, I Co. 15:51-58.
I noticed in this playlist that video #11 was deleted. Did y'all do that, or did TH-cam? Just advising you in case no one else noticed. Thanks for your work Pastor Andy.

Amen! I love being encouraged about us being called up to meet the Lord is the air soon. See you there...

I could not agree more. God Bless
Yes. Here I am 2 years later and had wasted much of my time listening to many false self proclaimed prophets on TH-cam. Holy Spirit opened my eyes. Well, Him and the fact they were clearly lying because nothing they said happened. Live and learn!
1Thes 4:18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. 🤗
Sent by Barry Scarborough ,and so glad he did! You teaching is so easy to understand. Thank you and God bless!
Thank you for explaining that Rapture is for ALL! It's not by our works, but by grace alone.
Please Please come today Lord. I can't take it anymore! Love You and need You so much!!! Amen
Every morning when I awake I'm so sad that I'm still here. I also can't take it anymore. MARANATHA
I feel the same way come Lord Jesus 🙏
This my first time to listen to Ptr Andy Woods. Thank you for a beautiful and blessed message about the Rapture. I am looking forward and looking up to heaven for Jesus Christ to come!
@@MrTwige There is NO rapture for those who DO NOT believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and how he died on the cross, was buried and rose from the dead three days later and now sits at the right-hand of the Father. For those who DO NOT believe in him will go before the White Throne, bow before him and receive their Judgement from a Righteous God. Accept Jesus Christs as your Savior so you don't spend your Eternity in hell.
@@MrTwige Forgiveness of sins was a gift from God, and it says in the Bible he will call us with a shout and a trumpet and we will meet him in the air. The raptured Christians will come back with Jesus riding white horses at the Second Coming, and he sets his feet on the Mount of Olives.
The Tribulation is for Israel not the church. Stay if you want to but I will be enjoying a wedding feast in heaven with my Savior whilst the Tribulation is going on, on earth.
@@MrTwige Sorry but you haven't got so much as a clue as to the Gospel and the Truth.
@@MrTwige Sorry but you are the one who is confused on God's Holy Word. I will pray for you.
@@MrTwige ! Thessalonians 4: 13-18 KJV
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Thank you, Dr Woods, for preaching sound Biblical doctrine. I love studying eschatology; especially pretribulational rapture. God bless you. ✝️
Thank you so much for this teaching. It has given me much comfort for my family members.
Yes! Me too. I have had serious concerns about whether my daughter in law is saved. This message was comforting because it speaks directly to “Lot” type people in my life. 😇
The rapture, or what the Bible calls the Ressurection, is easily timed if you STICK TO SCRIPTURE. I Thess 3:16 says that the dead rise first, then those alive in Christ. I Cor 15:52 says it occurs at the LAST TRUMPET (Rev11:18)!!! And is further reinforced by the fact that many Christians are killed because they refuse the mark of the beast DURING THE TRIBULATION and are ressurected in the FIRST Ressurection (Rev 20:4-5). There are not only other scriptures to back this up, but also there are ABSOLUTELY NO SCRIPTURES that support a rapture BEFORE the tribulation, although there are some scriptures that indicate some in the church will be protected during the tribulation. It's so disturbing that preachers spend so much time on this issue without any substantial scriptural backing. You have to wonder what the motivation is for this. Perhaps it makes a good incentive for church attendence.
Me too. Especially a few who have died.
Thank you for letting me understand more about the coming soon Rapture!! Thank you Lord Jesus Christ.
Bbibii
Wow this is a fantastic message.
I’ve listened to so many messages about the rapture and was never convinced of pre trib but this one was really great, you covered things I hadn’t thought about before.
Thank you, what a blessing.
Very true. I was post trib for over 40 years but through teaching like Dr. Woods and Dr. Randy white I am now thoroughly pre trib.
Amen! I'm so happy for you that the Holy Spirit led you to believe the truth about the rapture. Too many people are deceived by satan and claim the Church will go through tribulation. As you can now plainly see, the Church is raptured before tribulation. Ignore all the mockers and scoffers. God bless you.
me likewise
Thank you for comforting us with these words! So appreciate your ministry!
Thank you Dr. Woods, these teachings are such a blessing!
Dr woods you alway out do your self in your teaching gift. I can honestly say that God has gifted you with an awesome teaching gift that stand out from all the rest. And God used a lawyer to do it. Jesus is awesome.

A lawyer is usually keen and trained in thinking very logically and rationally and to combine different sections of Law drawing the right conclusions to prove a matter so a good lawyer for GOD can seal the deal as a bible teacher! 👍👍
@@edwardpaterson1957 You need to research the differences between the rapture and the Second Coming. Let me pray for you.... Heavenly Father, I pray you will give this person wisdom concerning Your Holy Word. Obviously this person has been deceived by satan and cannot rightly divide the Word of Truth. Lord, allow this person to see the difference between the Church, which is raptured before tribulation, and the tribulation, which is only for Israel because they rejected Jesus as the Messiah. God bless this person. In Jesus' Name. Amen..... At the rapture, Christ "appears" (1 Thessalonians 4:17) ; at the Second Coming Jesus returns with the saints (Revelation 19). At the rapture, we're called UP to meet Jesus in the air with a shout and the trumpet call of GOD; the Last Trumpet is blown by an angel at the end of tribulation. See these differences? There are many more...
Your sermons are wonderful, Andy!❤
Exceptional teaching. I like the typology method of teaching. All the methods you do use, illuminates wisdom from God's Word! Thank You Pastor Woods, for your excellent careful teaching! God bless!
I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful teaching!
People have heroes in Hollywood, singers in every aspect you can think . Jesus is not my hero but my first one true love . Jesus is my God who I would bow my knee and worship. I love Jesus that I long continuously for .
This sermon was SO well executed! Thank you, Pastor Woods.
I just keep coming back to the meat of the Word, Dr. Woods. Amen and amen.
Glad I found you through Pastor J.D. Farag. Studied Revelation when I was 16 in Sunday school. Now, 55 years old and witnessing God's own Word coming to fruition.
Thank You so much Pastor Andy, for Your Teaching of God's Word, God Bless You, When We All get to Heaven what a Wonderful Day that will be ❤🙏✝️🕊
I lived that carnal believer's life for 48 years with alcohol and nicotine addiction, also promiscuous behavior I suffered all those things you listed. A miserable, miserable life that was wasted and effected my children. I had no communion with the Lord, even though I prayed all the time. I finally 2 1\2 years ago with God's grace and mercy changed me, I immediately stopped craving alcohol and nicotine. I have now been on a close fellowship with Jesus, daily. I pray God keeps me close so I never have to waste more of my life. Praise God for this.
The blessed hope, what is there not to love about it? I am ready, come Lord Jesus Come.
God bless you Pastor Andy and thank you for your teachings.
Great teaching! God bless.
JD Farag mentioned your books, and was talking about Don Stewart also representing your book on how it changed their mind and permanently solidified the reference second Thessalonians.
😊
That is also how I found this Pastor. Blessed to hear his teaching of the very Word of God.
The rapture, or what the Bible calls the Ressurection, is easily timed if you STICK TO SCRIPTURE. I Thess 3:16 says that the dead rise first, then those alive in Christ.

@@edwardpaterson1957 Then, you can complain to Jesus and to the angels while we are in heaven during the tribulation and demand to be put back down on Earth to go through what God says we're not to go through. Or you can just enjoy yourself in heaven with the rest of us. Your choice.
@@TheOpendoormedia so you do not believe 1 Cor 15:52 when it says the Ressurection occurs AT THE LAST TRUMPET? because a pastor says otherwise. I can tell you the a million pastors cannot change that scripture. And btw, I would love to be removed from this Earth before "Jacob's trouble" occurs, and I certainly won't complain if I am. But read the scriptures I provided. The rapture is a false doctrine. And if you can, show me ONE scripture that says that the ressurection occurs BEFORE the tribulation.
@@edwardpaterson1957 many Bible teachers and scholars have all kinds of information all over the place on this. I go to them. I go on both sides and listen to both sides. But the Bible is very clear and has been taught from the early church of the pre-trib rapture. Again, this is not a salvational issue.
This is just a doctrinal difference issue. But there are many many Bible scholars out there very easy to find that pre-trib rapture and they go through everything in Greek, Latin, Aramaic etc where it shows that the rapture, which is in the Bible, will take place.
I'm not fighting you on this, I'm not arguing with you on this.
JD Farag, Jack Hibbs, Amir Tsarfati, Jan Markel, Tom Hughes, Brandon Holthaus (though I am not big on the planet having lots of life between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 view), Berry Stagner, Don Stewart, Mike Macintosh, Hal Lindsey, Greg Laurie, Andy Woods...
Oh man I LOVE this teaching! I have been looking and praying for clarity on the doctrine of the rapture and I am really glad to have found this.
I love the very precise teaching of Pastor Woods throughout this extensive sermon series. What a blessing and comfort.
What an absolute wonderful teaching!! I've never had a hard time believing in the pre tribulation rapture..it has always resonated in my heart and mind...it makes no sense for the Lord to make us endure the horrors of the tribulation when we have already made our choice of who we love, worship and follow...
Very good. Lots of info I've never heard before. Thank you Andy.
Amen Pastor Andy. Thank you for this powerful series on the Biblical truth of the pretribulation rapture. It has been both edifying and encouraging. God bless you brother!
I thank The Lord for your teachings, Dr. Andy. You make it so easy to understand the Bible.
You Pastor, I believe is my hero because you are a brilliant teacher ❤️
You are that wicked generation who have hate . You cannot love but you are condemned. You called yourself a Christian. Start searching the scriptures and ask God for wisdom to understand a true born again Christian. Good day 🙏
Mr Twige great
@@MrTwige the Lord Jesus rebuke you satan and your minions.
Heavenly Father i ask that you deal with this person according how you see fit. Open this persons eyes amd soften their heart so that they can know you Father. They are completely smothered by the god of this world or by their own deceitful flesh. God, let your increase intensify with this person. Your will be done.
In Jesus name we pray, amen
I’m happy that you reading the scriptures because one of God’s main attributes is LOVE
@Reflect Upon The Word He got so annoying I just posted silly stuff because he was ridiculous in his attacks. And he obviously is wrong!
God bless you for doing this very edifying series brother,I look forward to each video so much I almost don’t want the series to end,but it must,we are going home soon brother Andy praise God.Marnatha.
I'm so thankful that God has raised you. Your teaching helps to refresh my spirit.
Absolutely brilliant brilliant teaching bless you Andy woods ❤
.. and again just thank you for your great teaching .. MARANATHA ..
OUTSTANDING. I’ve been working my way through this entire series. All of it great. But this finally unlocked the story of Lot for me! I haven’t seen anyone else address that conflict yet. Thank you! 💕❤️💕
Very sound biblically and extremely comforting thank you.
Man what a storehouse of knowledge you are Andy, a man indeed blessed ✝by God, I always pray for spiritual wisdom, and since this "covid" thing I have learned more this past year than ALL of my Christian life, because I come from a long line of "dear" Mennonites, that are steeped in tradition which my wife and I have broken away from, where Revelation was NEVER EVER mentioned. So thank God for covid, what a blessing indeed. Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you, ask and it will be given to you.....I always say, you are going to know God as much as you want to know Him. 🕎
Thank you 🙏
Rev. Woods: God's work and messages through you, have given me great hope and comfort.
thank you so much for posting your teachings here on this platform. I wouldn't have heard this anywhere else.
Amazing to me the Word says God did not create Hell for man, but fallen angels. Yet some Christians believe even after our Lord gave his life in place of our sins and died and said it is finished "from his wrath" that somehow we must still go through the wrath of God. Which to me cheapens the sacrifice he went through to save us, which was horrible, to say the least. There is no grey area, he either died for all our sins, or else none. His Bride " Church" cant be here during Gods wrath.Or else it all makes no sense. His death for us would be in vain..
Jesus Christ come
You cannot distinguish between God's wrath (Greek orge), the destruction of the wicked in hell and God's judgement on the believers (Amos 9:10; 1. Cor 11:29+30) and on unbelievers for repentance ( the vials in Rev are not orge wrath, but thumos wrath, they repented not, but they were not all destroyed, some sought and could not find death. The so called 7 year Tribulation is not God's wrath! The destruction of all the wicked will come at His 2. coming (Rev 6:16+17; 11:18; 16:19; 19:15) as it was in the days of Noah and Lot. The salvation of Lot (Rapture) and the Destruction of the wicked will come at the same day, not 7 years apart, at His 2. coming (Luke 17:29+30). There is only one coming of the Lord, He told us, after the GT (Mat24:29-31). There is only one resurrection for all believers (including the once of the Tribulation) at the First Resurrection.
@@benny-yj7pq Rev Ch.6:17 says the great day of his wrath is come, It past tense. it means it has been coming ,Even pagans finally figured it out.Before the 7th seal is open and way before the vials. And using the flood as an example only proves one thing, which is you wont find the word wrath in any old testament text describing the flood in spite of the fact that it was Gods wrath. If you believe Jesus went to prepare a place in his fathers house, John 14:2-4 for us but takes us up at his return only to instantly return right back to earth with him for 1000 years, explain how that works. And if all get resurrected bodies at his return than who goes into his kingdom as mortal humans having offspring ? and who do the 24 elders singing their song about themselves being redeemed from every tribe ,nation and tongue?Rev:5: 9-10 These people are in Heaven before with the first seal is even open. they already have their crowns. There is more than 1 resurrection. When Jesus rose many who slept in the grave came to life Matt 27-52.
@@benny-yj7pq And to say Gods wrath is only one day using Lot as an example doesn't prove anything. The flood took more than one day. The time of Jacobs trouble"the 70th week of Daniel is the entire last 7 years.Which is the wrath of God on unbelievers and to finally get Israel to acknowledge Jesus as their messiah. The Church has no reason to even be there during that time. If you believe its only one day literally you might as well believe its literally one hour only like it says in Rev:3-10. According to you we might get to spend one hour in the fathers house that Jesus has been preparing fo us for 2000 years.
Yes, I agree...cheapens Christ's sacrifice
Blessings to you and your family ✝️🌹❤️✝️
Best explanation i have ever heard! Thank you . Brother Barry Scarborough sent us here in recommendation 🌈❤
Thankful for rapture teaching x
Love this series and appreciate every teaching… getting me and my family ready for all that God has planned for us in the future. Eternally grateful. Love to all the brethren at SLBC. Miss you all. 🤍
I'm so glad to know the Rapture series is not over!
Thanking God for your ministry.
Yippee... it's not over yet. Love it! I want to be watching the next rapture sermon when the rapture ACTUALLY happens.
So sad that there appears to be so many herein commenting who believe that they absolutely MUST go through and endure the tribulation/wrath. Those who sadly believe this, unfortunately fail to understand the nature of The Church and fail to understand the actual purpose for the tribulation.
I totally agree. But you can't convince spiritually dead people about the truth of the rapture. The Bible clearly teaches the reason for tribulation is for Israel because they rejected Jesus as the Messiah, not for the Church. God bless you. See you in the clouds soon...
Your teachings have really been so wonderful!
Thank you again for this valuable lesson Pastor. Indeed you never talk too long; I could listen to your teaching for hours. Blessings for you and your church. Greetings from Sodom-Holland-Europe.
Excellent message and wow!! Over 23 K subscribers! Praise God!
Spending Sunday evening catching up on this series. Always a blessed time of study
Pastor Woods: I REALLY appreciate this series on the Rapture. I particularly appreciate your in depth explanations, and in depth explorations of the Biblical history and passages that reinforce everything you teach. I have followed you from lesson #1 and intend to keep right on going. Thanks for your help. It has made a great positive impact in my life and has so enriched my understanding and appreciation of the Rapture and the entire Bible and teachings of Moses right on through Jesus Christ and the His apostles.
Thank-you. Maranatha!
Great study! Thanks for all you do.
I, for one, am glad the study is not over. Thank you, Dr. Woods.
New Subbie to your channel
I kept hearing people say how much they love your channel
Awesome message
I love teachings about the end time events
Thank you Pastor Woods. I appreciate your work. Anytime you're coming on I get my notebook out! Happily! God bless
Luke supplementing Matthew's account to cover the church's destiny makes a lot of sense. Luke revealing Paul's doctrine of rapture would be the kind of tactic he would use to edify the church in their situation. The issue of Luke pointing out securing the safety of the believer first, and especially gentile believers at that, just makes good contextual, edificatory, and revelatory sense. I especially focus on Christ using the phrase, "In the day when the Son of man is revealed" which foreshadows John's "The revelation of Jesus Christ... the Day of the Lord" (Rev 1:1, 10)
"Part of the Great Grace Package!" The blessed HOPE.
Thank you. God bless you. Come soon Lord! Amen.
Wow, you made a striking comment. Violence comes from the word hamas. Just watched a video last night linking BLM with Hamas.
Lol..imagine that..a hateful terrorist organization related to violence...I pray that the Lord puts an end to BLM
.
Excellent!!!
🙏 🙏
WONDERFUL. Thank you!
This is wonderful. THANKYOU
Yes, Dr Woods, another great teaching on the Rapture. I hope you continue to make all your materials available to the public that are far away from Texas (Australia here)
Everything you said makes so much sense. I see so many living in the flesh yet, I know they are believers. It gets confusing especially now with people on facebook standing up for evil and many living carnally. calling evil good and good evil. being Carnal puts you in the devils will who wants to destroy everything good God has for us as believers. The Dead in Christ shall rise first! this part I love. we will meet them in the air with Jesus!
GLAD I FOUND YOU,, THANKS
Thank you
Folks should be certain of their salvation first and then their rapture worries will fade away.
Amen thank you🙏🙏💓💓
When the Lord destroyed the cities of the Plane,HE remembered Abraham and saved Lot out of the distruction with which HE smote the cities where Lot laid his dwelling.
The reason Lot is called righteous is because he believed God. He believed that Sodom and Gomorrah was going to be destroyed. He didn’t just sit around doing nothing.
It’s the same with Abraham. Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him as being righteous. We’re not talking about their actions in what they did in life. We’re talking about the fact that Lot believed God too. It’s the same reason God calls you or me righteous, we believe him. We believe the gospel. We aren’t righteous based on our actions. Remember Paul said then Abraham would be able to boast but not before the Father.
Amen!
The rapture, or what the Bible calls the Ressurection, is easily timed if you STICK TO SCRIPTURE. I Thess 3:16 says that the dead rise first, then those alive in Christ. I Cor 15:52 says it occurs at the LAST TRUMPET (Rev11:18)!!! And is further reinforced by the fact that many Christians are killed because they refuse the mark of the beast DURING THE TRIBULATION and are ressurected in the FIRST Ressurection (Rev 20:4-5). There are not only other scriptures to back this up, but also there are ABSOLUTELY NO SCRIPTURES that support a rapture BEFORE the tribulation, although there are some scriptures that indicate some in the church will be protected during the tribulation. It's so disturbing that preachers spend so much time on this issue without any substantial scriptural backing. You have to wonder what the motivation is for this. Perhaps it makes a good incentive for church attendence.
@Charles Pieters Interesting. I'd love to have some references on that. Its worth writing an article.
Amen Brother! Praise God for it to or we'd all be headed for Hell
I'm very much praying and pleading Lot's case before God with regards to my own adult son who was raised in FAITH but today definitely might lose all of his reward. But I still plead for him to better be saved all naked but have his eternal LIFE saved. 🙏😩😥🙏
Thank you. God bless you.
Great video thank you sir.
Love the treatment on Lot...helped solidify some areas that were not as clear
What I don’t understand is why all of a sudden pastors like Andy is saying apostasy in Thessalonians doesn’t mean the falling away from faith, that it means rapture when that’s not what apostasy means. From what it reads in Thessalonians the apostasy comes first which we are seeing now and then the rapture happens then the anti christ is revealed. I don’t understand why now the sudden change. The Bible says not to add or change anything and now we are changing the scriptures???
The KJV was the first ever to translate it to mean falling away. Almost every other translation used DEPARTURE as a translation. Most but not all translated it as DEPARTURE, but no one ever translated it as falling away until KJV did. Falling away??? Falling away from what? Yes some believe it means falling away from the faith, but that is no where in context of what is being talked about in that passage. Departure is, or taken out of the way is in perfect context. In fact, 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 are repeating verse 3 in that something (we can debate what that is) is taken out of the way, then the Wicked man of sin is revealed.
Yes, there will be a falling away from the faith, and this passage could in some way be referring to that. But, falling away was not repeated a second time. Taken away, or taken out of the way, or departure was repeated, and that is what gives it significance.
I love your series , I wish I could find the rest of genesis 105 and on..
I wish to thank you Dr. Woods for your ministry. I've now just finished listening to The Coming Kingdom series and will be purchasing the book. What a wonderful synthesis of what is wrong about 'christiandumb'. ( not your term I know ) The situation is grievous and I have personally suffered from the wrong doctrine you so masterfully elucidate for over 40 years. Praise God in the last few years I have been able to come out from them thanks to you and all the great names of dispensationalism you quote and admire. May the Lord protect you and yours and your ministry go on for a long long time.
Thanks Pastor Woods for the wonderful insights in the promiss of the rapture. From the Netherlands, one question on political activity as Christians. Doesn't 2 Peter say 'looking for and hasting (unto) the coming of Christ'? So we don't want to postpone it by our actions buy rather make history feed foreward towards His coming? Or is it our 1 Timothy 2 responsibility to play a role in the withholding if evil?
Pastor Woods I wish you could read the comments and how people are being attacked while you teaching
I was thinking the same thing about Lot his actions were not that of a saved man ... He offered up his daughtees to those wicked men 😢 I think he was under Abrahams righteousness is the only reason he was rescued.
It repented God that He made us
Ty!!
I loved this teaching I was blessed and informed!
Trying to find teaching you mentioned called - are you a lot like lot” I may have got the title wrong but was hunting everywhere with no success. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks God Bless!
You are Bible blessed passing on to us it's truths. A crown in Heaven awaits all who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ that saves a soul for God's glory. 1 Thessalonians chapter 2:verse 19; Philippians chapter 4:verse 1.
Are we ready to meet our Lord in the air and sharing this hope ? John chapter 14: verse 1-3; *Titus chapter 2:verses 11 -14; Rev.chapter 3:verse 10; 1 Thessalonians chapter 5:verse 9. Another Crown awaits us 1 Peter 5:4
This praise resounds across the earth. "Jesus is Lord and only He saves".
2 Samuel chapter 22: Verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name."
THE GOSPEL SAVES!
God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world.
Mark chapter 16: Verse 15: And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
How can anyone hear the "good" news? Romans chapter 10: verse 17 Then faith comes from hearing and hearing the word of God.
Isaiah chapter 7: verse 14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day ! "HE IS RISEN" Matthew chapter 28: verse 6
Isaiah chapter 53: verse 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. - IT IS FOUNDED UPON GOD'S LOVE FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED
John chapter 3: Verse 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans chapter 3: verse 23
" For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans chapter 6: verse 23
" Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.."John chapter 14.verse 6
"1 Corinthians chapter 15: verse 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER!
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John chapter 2: verse 2
Romans chapter 5:verse 8 But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him."
“For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians chapter 5:verse 21.
" In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians chapter 1:verse 7
Matthew chapter 26:verse 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (the life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life)
"And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews chapter 9:verse 22
BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED
Ephesians chapter 2:verse 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast.
Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting in His death and in the shedding of His blood as payment for our sins, as well as in His resurrection from the dead, and we will be saved!
TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH
Romans 10:
9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart man believes in righteousness; And a confession by mouth is given for salvation.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST
Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John chapter 3: verse 16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation chapter 21: verse 8.
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ”Romans chapter 5:verse 1

How about Hosea, Amos, Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel? We have to look at this to point where we're at now.
Daniel speaks of Peace Deal which is in the works now, July 1.
Perry Stone showed me Malachi 3:16-18 as another selection that support your stance.
Amen 🙏🏻
Interesting note too that Noah also Got drunk after going out on dry land. then cursed his grandson for laughing at his nakedness..
actually.... that's not exactly what happened.
Look up the topic on 119 Ministries channel.
You might be a bit surprised.
@@sigalsmadar4547 it is what the Bible says.
So these are in unbelief....
What if they are in unbelief about the rapture, even mockers. Jesus could do little in his hometown for their unbelief. Carnality is not an issue, but many Christians despise this doctrine.
Enoch walked with God, lived 365 years and “was not” for God took him, he didn’t die and therefore he is actually the oldest living person. With Elijah coming in at 2nd place. 😉
The rapture issue is really a simple matter that many people have greatly complicated over the years. How can it be simple? There are only 2 main scriptures you need to know. These are 1. Mt. 13:24-30 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed ears, then the weeds also appeared. “The owner’s servants came to him and said, `Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ “`An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, `Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ “`No,’ he answered, `because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’“
The 1st clue is "Let both grow together until the harvest." When you know when that time is you will have the answer. Does the Bible tell us when the harvest will be? Yes. Where in scripture is it? 2. The book of Revelation chapter 14; Re. 14:14-20 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one “like a son of man” with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested. Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia. [That is, about 180 miles (about 300 kilometres)]
The scripture in Matthew is a parable which is a story Jesus told to make a point. Every parable has truth in it even though some of the scenarios may not actually have happened exactly as described. So an explanation is needed.
Mt. 13:10-17 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” He replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “`You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’ [Isaiah 6:9,10] But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it".
What about all the other scriptures about the rapture? Some are legitimate and some have nothing to do with it. This agrees with all the legitimate NT scriptures. I'll reference some here if you want to do further study: Mt. 24:30-31, I Th. 5:1-11, II Th. 2:1-12, I Co. 15:51-58.
I noticed in this playlist that video #11 was deleted. Did y'all do that, or did TH-cam? Just advising you in case no one else noticed. Thanks for your work Pastor Andy.
