The Rapture: The Last Days According to Jesus with R.C. Sproul

- What is the Rapture? Christians all agree that Jesus will return to take His church out of this fallen world, but there is disagreement as to how He will do it. Will Jesus secretly take His people out of this world only to return again later for the Resurrection? Dr. Sproul considers this question as he continues the study of The Last Days According to Jesus, with this message entitled “The Rapture.”
This is the 11th in a series of messages by Dr. Sproul on the last days. See other videos in the series: • The Last Days Accordin...

Is this still available on DVD? It might go well with my study group.
Hello Matt,
The DVD is in fact available for purchase at the below link:

@@ligonier Thank you! :)
Great idea !
And not to undercut Ligonier DVD sales but you can use a TH-cam download app to bring it onto your Laptop or Tablet - it helps to have these incredibly helpful videos to show your fellow Christians to gain a proper Reformed Preterist view.
There are still SO MANY sensational Rapture Fever preachers out there spinning their webs of 30% Bible 70% Groundless Speculation.
I'm a 20 years 'Sober' recovering Dispensational addict, so I can tell you what a breath of fresh air this is !
RC and Dr Ken Gentry were used of God in 1999 to wake me up to this 'hidden reality'.
Soli Deo Gloria !
Thanks Ligonier for posting these on TH-cam !
@Shaken not stirred
Careful there - that man was & is a servant of the Most High God !
Jesus warned that those who call others fool, without cause, are in danger of hellfire, in Matthew 5:22.
Exactly like you just did.
You sound like the kind who that warning was addressed to.
How will you answer to God on Judgement Day, mr. "shaken not stirred" ?
@@hellosunshine1090 99,9% of preachers are liars and snakes deceiving believers i have no respect for them they dont work for God they work for Satan they support the anti-Christ Jews!
Strangely enough I would listen to these teachings after putting my kids to bed, as company for washing dishes and folding laundry until late at night. I loved to hear the writing on the blackboard it made me memorize the key words .A lot of it had stuck in my head too... it also helped me keep calm as the reality of divorce showed itself night by night there too.
Thank you RC. For the calm voice and wise teaching in my time of testing. I gave it all to Jesus.
Me too!
God bless you sir, stay strong. You have a lot of friends in heaven that you haven't met yet.
Ezekiel 13:20 King James Version 20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
I do the same thing. While I’m working around my home, I’m listening to RC or the Bible.
Yes..we are here together...stay in deep holy ghost prayer
Just realize that YOUR meeting with God could happen at any minute... a heart attack, a car wreck, or whatever, and BE YE READY! NOW!
true
Sure that's one of the classic scare tactics used by Catholics, the world over for hundreds of years
@@harrybond007 It's absolute truth my friend not a scare tactic. It's actually the most loving warning you could ever tell someone because it determines where you will spend eternity and it shows a genuine concern for your soul. Jesus is Lord my friend and neighbor!
👑💖💒🙏👆💯🔥
@Spiritual Eyes vs Physical Eyes - Professor Sproul just spent 24 minutes directly addressing why this teaching is false. Go back and listen, and this time with your Bible and your ears open.
@@upstream5316 You will know if it’s the mark of the beast, it won’t be some hidden secret. It’s an embrace of the anti christ
The end of the Church Age is when Jesus comes for his bride like a thief in the night and snatches his bride away.
Jesus… like a thief in the night?????
What da?😂
@@jacobfralin5482
It’s what the scriptures say. No one left behind will see him - only those snatched away. At his second coming with the saints to rescue remnant Israel all eyes will see him - towards the end of the great tribulation.
@@5p1tf1r31 "Like a thief in the night" doesn't mean unseen, reading the text, the Lord himself explains this has to do with knowledge read Matthew 24:43 in context. Do not be deceived, there will be no "secret rapture". The rapture will happen immediately after the first resurrection that will take place at His coming.
@@5p1tf1r31 that's not scriptural at all buddy. The thief passages are in regard to Jesus coming with judgement, not of him snatching the Church away.
Read your Word hungrily because they will be coming for it soon enough and you'll wish every word was in your heart and mind.
Jesus said, blessed is he who hears my word and keeps it in his heart.
mal'ak emeth - This is not only naive, but contrary to the explicit teaching of both Jesus and his apostles, who said quite the opposite.
“To the law and the testimony! If they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them.”
This OT principle clearly carries over into the NT: Matt 5:17, etc. Because the work of the Spirit IN us is altogether subjective, the whole point of an inspired text is to provide a uniformly accessible objective basis for what we all believe. For which there is NO substitute. It isn’t either/or. It’s both/and.
He’s doing this on all the comments
@mal'ak emeth it's about us, he gave his Life for us, ( the BRIDE ) we will most undoubtedly give ours for Him? Are we ready 👍✝️💜🙏
Yep. Make sure you have a physical copy of the Bible (multiple Bibles) because they will someday erase all Bibles on your phones/tablets.
that is true LORD Jesus God bring home matthew 10:19 kjb alone
We are one day closer...😎✝️❤️
This is a beautiful prospective 👍
Edwin tomlinson - except there’s no inference of any day or year to the rapture 🤷🏾♂️
Brother Caleb because we know the rapture will come one day. Every day that passes, brings us one day closer to that Glorious day. 😊
AMEN
🙏 I hope it is soon
I thank you my Lord and savior for saving me .. thank you for taking me out of Hinduism.. I was a Hindu for 35 years and I used to served Hindu idol.. I was brought up to not like Christian and Jesus wasn’t real .. that all changes when I had a very bad experience in my life and I pretended to be a Christian but little do i know God had his own plans for me .. I saw Jesus for the first time in my dreams and in his presence I felt this love I never experienced In my life before.. in my savior presence I felt all my sins was forgiven when I woken up I lift my hands up give my life to Jesus I repent and today my ways and life is change for the better.. I saw Jesus many times after I had a out of body experiences .. I was in Israel Jesus show me new Jerusalem and he said tell his people to stand together with Israel ... Jesus show me a moon he said when u see this moon know the time is near, I saw Jesus in the clouds he said to me he is coming back soon , I saw 7 angel with long trumpets, I saw Jesus coming fiercely in the clouds he had no favoritism if u know him u will go if not u will have to go through the hard times here on earth 🌍 as Jesus was coming there was a lighting then rapture suddenly a earthquake and then follow darkness Over the earth and a knee length flood the world was in Chacos ... I also saw the pope with a bible in his hand said 666 I personally don’t trust the Pope ... i had many many dreams where I saw my savior Jesus Christ .. we communicated through thoughts and I saw the number 12:13 or 12:12 I can’t remember the exact number but one of the number I don’t know what it meant ... I saw a army Preparedness for a secret attack they have green and black uniform I saw this army with a long range missile and a short range missile .. I just want to share with everyone .. I trust in Jesus he is coming back soon. Because my father told me so .. Jesus is the only way plz repent everyday every second and trust in him with all ur heart and souls .. I love you my savior Jesus Christ thank you for saving me my Lord .. I’m noting without you my savior Jesus Christ u are my everything.. I love u 😍 my Jesus Christ my father
Hello
What did the moon look like that Jesus showed you?
Nikita Nikita hey there, could u specify what the colour of the moon was please?
was the moon red or was one third of it dark?
Harrison Masih yes it was a pinkish reddish moon
I post a comment when I had the dream it was 6 month ago and come to find out on Passover breaking Israel show a pinkish moon over Israel 🇮🇱.. I was not surprised because it’s what Jesus show me but it wow me when I saw it because I mention it in a comment 6 month ago
I can't get enough of this man's teachings! Thank you Lord for this kind of addiction.
Me too!
Probably the greatest modern day teacher. Learned almost everything I know about reformed theology from RC. Praise God for his life
@@garvinsmith4555 By your comment, I presume you hold to a dispensational view of the rapture, which is something that was formed in the 19th century. There is zero proof that the early church believed in the 2nd and 3rd return of Jesus, which is basically what the dispensational rapture teaches (to rapture His church and reign for 1000 yrs, and then returns again to judge)
Not found in scripture!!! You need someone to tell you this (John Nelson Darby), and then you start inserting this concept into everything you read in the word of God.
I love the 'Left Behind' movies, but that's not the word of God.
Hail Satan 🤘🏽
@@paulrooney982 F**k 🖕Satan!!
This should be the fervent daily hope of every believer. Having become obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed. I'd rather hear the word 24/7 than anything else the world has to offer.
As a "pre-tribber", I would respectfully contend that the raptured church is not just "sitting around with Jesus", but enjoying the Marriage Feast of the Lamb. Then, at the end of the tribulation period, He will return, with His church for the final battle of Armageddon.
THATS FUNNY BECAUSE THE INVITATION TO THE MARRIAGE SUPPER IS AT THE COMING OF THE LORD JESUS
AFTER GREAT TRIBULATION.
READ IT FOR YOURSELF.
REVELATION 19: 9, 11
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
so im thinking you dont really read your bible and study.
you just listen to ear ticklers, and form your own version of comfort and ease.
lack of knowledge destroys God's people.
Hosea 4
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Yes, and that is also the same belief as the early church fathers, including the ones that were disciples and knew John personally. It is very difficult to change your mind on something you grew up in and especially when involved in a denomination that teaches it. As you do, I still love these brothers in Christ and looking forward to being with our Lord soon. God Bless
There's no pretribulation rapture... let's just look at it this way... Jesus said when I return will I find faith... so how was yr faith tested if u were pre raptured... Look at it this way... Who will GOD look at at
with more mercy and grace those who were pretrib raptured or those who went through it not taking the 666 mark... think yr faith needs to be tested
@@ravindrinrangasamy578What do you believe is the purpose of the Tribulation?
@@ravindrinrangasamy578Our faith is tested every moment of every day. If you obey the will of God and you love and keep his commandments you will be caught up into the clouds to be with the Lord forever. If you’re a lukewarm Christian then you’ll go through the fire of the tribulation, you will be made hot. What is the parable of the 10 virgins about? What are the 3 different harvest parables; barley, wheat, and wine about?
Oh, happy day; oh, happy day. Caught up to meet Him in the air. Come even so Lord Jesus!
AMEN.
yes, meeting Jesus in the air, as He goes where?
read Zech 14. He isn't bringing anyone to "heaven", but bringing us into His inheritance, the Kingdom....which is the reality of the "heavenly hope"
@@junk3996 Agree, and this He alreády has done, as the kingdom of God is inside of us!
@@eekay5710 the kingdom is also a tangible objective reality, and that hasn't happened yet, as evident by Jesus not reigning the earth from the throne of David in the promised land to Abraham
@@junk3996 The kingdom of God is only what scripture says it is.
The kingdom of God is not a geographic place or something for the future, but 'is in the realm of the Holy Spirit, filled with righteousness, peace and joy'. Rom 14:17
Jesus in John 3:3 'Before a person can perceive God's kingdom realm, they must first experience a rebirth'. (born from above, born from the origin).
Due to the cross, we now can 'experience the reality of God's kingdom realm', as the Holy Spirit has been poured out into us. Luke 6:20
Jesus in Luke 17:20,21
God's kingdom realm does not come simply by obeying principles or by waiting for signs. The kingdom is not discovered in one place or another, for God's kingdom realm is already expanding within some of you (meaning those who came to the born again).
Uh, Jesus already came in 70AD. That's GREAT FOR US !!! PTL!!!
RC Sproul wow the whole eschatology series is a must see. He understood beautifully by the grace and power of our Holy Spirit. Praise God alone!
Where can we access the whole series?
But why disregard John 14:2-3, "In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also." - Sproul dismisses the fact that we are going to go with Jesus to heaven to reside in His Father's house of many rooms which has been prepared by Jesus for us. Jesus is not receiving us in the clouds to accompany him back to earth - we are meeting him to go to heaven with Him. Yep, I'm listening for the shout and trumpet sound: I'm going to be in Heaven with Jesus before I return with Him for the Millennium.
You are correct. He is taking us to the big house for 7 years of Tribulation. Then we all return together for the apocalyptic end before the Millennial 1,000 years of peace.
AMEN

Despite what many want to believe, Christianity isn't complicated. Love the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, obey the 11 Commandments, live your life as Jesus instructed you to do in the Gospels, and don't worry about it. Christianity ought to bring you peace, not anxiety. It ought to make you love, not hate.
And if a person does as ye think will that save them?
Actually just repent and believe the gospel and be lead by the Spirit.
@@SmellofFemaleno
@elusive4072 not one individual gives the correct and accurate answer. Let's say I agree with your answer, but it is out of context. Does context matter as does theology or no, neither matter?
@elizabethhartley8987 you're correct. Now, the person who made the comment sounds like a self-determined salvation Christian. You know the type all around the globe thinking they are bcuz they did; they did what it sounds like the Bible says to do, right? Wrong. Here's why. Paul stresses the fact we're dead, though we live and breath. Eph. 2, 1-3. Rom. 5 12. Gen 6, 5-6. Ok, so if we're really dead, how'd they make themselves alive?
He has a comforting personality and good character this r.c

What a blessing to continue learning from Dr. Sproul! He lives on in every sense.
Amen! So true. His teachings from the grave still speak loudly today.
Be that as it may. He's still wrong about the Rapture.
So much blessings to you and your family ✝️ Mrs Theresa Rose 🌹
all the years of scholastic wrestling and study by R. C. allows this fantastic and clear teaching. Thank you.
What a great theologian. A gift to the body of Christ.
mal'ak emeth That’s a terrible lie that reveals more about you than it does about our (now deceased) brother in Christ. I don’t agree with RC’s eschatology. But he is my brother in Christ through faith in Him. We aren’t saved by our eschatology. We ARE SAVED BY OUR FAITH IN THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST OUR SAVIOUR ON THE CROSS!!
FeedScrn - You gotta be joking. He hasn't got a clue about prophecy.
@@smeatonlighthouse4384 What’s wrong with what he(RC) is saying?
Theology is not wisdom or even truth. Scripture should be your preacher in secret! Not some building with a erected high place seeking tithes...
@@eddetom7417 - The way that it works- is that if You are Sure about your beliefs, and you are excited about them, then it's natural to go out and share them. Basically only people unsure of their beliefs, or it's those who don't really have any in particular - are silent.
Predestination and Providence. Our times are in His Hands! Praise the Lord!
That's called Calvinism
it’s called, the Bible…because it teaches those things
Praise the Lord! I immensely adore the Bible teaching of the late R.C. Sproul, who is now absent from his earthly body and present with the Lord! He was a thoroughly clear preacher/teacher and my spiritual inner man can easily understand what he taught by the enablement of God the Holy Spirit! I love this, look forward to meeting him in Glory!
Excellent teaching and exposition. Thankyou Dr. Sproul!
The reason is two. Fold. 1 to protect us from His wrath at his coming and 2 to keep His promise of justification and salvation as a witness.
Sarah Ward. We were buried with Jesus Christ and we were raised and Resurrected with Christ and we are now seated in heavenly places with Christ.!
Looking forward to this great event of meeting the Lord in the air.
this always gives me a goosebumps hearing about the preaching of rapture. What a glorious day that will be! Soli Deo Gloria 🙏
Since RC doesn't believe in the "rapture" 🤣
@@ratedrreformed8452 theres always one !
@@alvinhickling901a rapture from the dead as in a resurrection into the air of life YES.
Now, here’s the question: How many comings are there? How would you answer that? Two. The first coming was 2,000 years ago. The second coming is sometime in the future. There are only two comings. Well, I’m not going there yet, but I just want to keep it simple for the moment here.
But Paul says, whatever he’s talking about in 1 Thessalonians 4 happens at the coming of the Lord. So, that will happen at the second coming. There’s a first coming, there’s a second coming, okay? And he says, “The Lord himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, the voice of the archangel, with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” This is a resurrection. It doesn’t use the word “rapture.” It uses that which comes from the Latin from this passage, I think, or maybe it’s from the Corinthians passage, but in any event, it doesn’t use the term. I’m not faulting the word, but we just want to make sure that the words that we’re using are accurately reflecting what the text says. This says, “The dead in Christ will rise,” so we are talking here about a resurrection at the coming of the Lord. And then it says, “Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together”-there’s your rapture word, I think-“caught up with him in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.”
So, what Paul is saying is that at the coming of the Lord, those who have fallen asleep will be resurrected, so they go from dead to alive in the resurrection. But those who have not died yet will also be resurrected in the sense that they get transformed without having died. Why? Because it’s the end. Here’s Jesus. Pretty straightforward.
I want to go home.🙌🏻🙌🏻😇

I still miss RC Sproul.
À
Arrr,:[
End Game : what this means is Dr Sproul does NOT BELIVE in rapture and 7 years of anti-Christ and false prophet . That belief is WRONG .
Don't we all
I love rc sproul my fave teacher. His minister lives on!!
I have been reading and listening to R.C. Sproul's lectures, sermons and teachings for years. I have ALWAYS APPRECIATED his extensive knowledge, years of study, and learning; and the calm, sensible and non-sensational manner of presenting and explaining it.
Dr. Sproul was "called home" several years ago.
He was Presbyterian, and steeped in the Reformed theological tradition.
I am also Presbyterian and Reformed (and reforming!).
Several inconsintencies in this video. If believers have to go through the tribulation there will be none to be snatched up alive since all believers will be killed by the Beast during the tribulation. Also when Christ returns the earth will not be adorned and with sweet smell- it will be in shambles with dead corpses all around. Finally, Paul said to comfort ourselves with these words- not much comfort knowing we will go through hell on earth living through the wrath of God which is not appointed for us.
To bad there are currently Christians going through hell on earth. Are you more special then they. What about the Christians that have been burned alive in history? Small world you live in.
The tribulations of the saints is not the wrath of God expressed by yhe judgment of the cup or bowls.
Tribulation mean suffering from the ungodly.
Stay blessed
The rapture is false doctrine.
R c sproul was an amazing reformed bible teacher. Huge blessing to this world. I agree with what he said.
YES!! ❤️💥❤️ We here on earth or dead in Christ are the WELCOMING committee!!
What a blessing God has blessed us through R.C.!
Brainwashing is a beautiful thing!!!!!!!!!
Great preaching! Very clear and informative, and very helpful to me personally. I have been trying to get a clear understanding of the rapture for some time and I am most grateful to RC for this.
Check out Allen Nolan?
Bless your ministry. It is a daily watch for me. It has also solidified my beliefs from the Bible. Even where I may feel differently it lets me know why
James White debates will help also.
Wow..I can hear this over and over and over again...
I listened intently here and the text that confuses me with R.C. Sproul's interpretation of the rapture is John 14:1-3
"“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also."
Here, the Lord Yeshua Christ is explaining to His disciples at His final Passover that He's leaving them but tells them not to be troubled about it. What is He going to do? He's leaving the earth to return to Glory He shared with His Father before the world was created (John 17:5) in heaven. To do what? To build homes for His people. Now according to Dr. Sproul's interpretation, the Church that is caught up will never reside in these homes because they're gonna leave and come right back to the earth.
A big u turn in the sky.
REVELATION 22: 12
Jesus in Matt 5:5
'Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth'.
One of my late father’s favorite preachers. They are together now in the presence of the Lord. It is intriguing to wonder whether they may now ‘know’ each other. I suspect that being in the presence of the Father and the Son consumes us and far exceeds any present curiosity as to others we may have known of on earth, but who knows. I do think that we will get to know all of these folks in the fulfillment of eternity.
If they are together now in the presence of the Father, why would Jesus have to come and resurrect them? If when people die they go to heaven or hell why will there be a resurrection and a judgment? Such is contrary to the teachings of Scripture.

I thank God who always make sure that I come across people like this man, whom He give His truth to be taught.

If this message can please get back to John. I am 35 years old. Born and raised in the church. We began at the Calvary Church where I was baptized and ended up deep in the charismatic religion. I've always heard God's voice but was told it was the enemy, I bet some people can relate. Pastor John is an amazing Man of God rightfully dividing the word of truth which and sense then saved me. My family is also understanding 1 day at a time as a result. God is good. I am forever grateful. Praying for GCC from up in NorCal.
Amen Preacher, If Paul thought he could be in the Rapture, this itself shows we as Christians go before the seals are opened. I believe they will be a 7 year of preparing we saints before the final Coming of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. People I believe need to hear this message today! God bless you and your family ✝️
Exactly the Raptor happens before 7-year tribulation
You'd be wrong.
There is no "rapture." There is only ever discussed the ressurection and Jesus said many times that it happens on the last day. Case closed.
@@texsis2112
😂 The word "raptor" can refer to a type of bird or dinosaur. Raptor dinosaurs were moderately small dinosaurs that had hollow bones and were covered in feathers. Raptor birds are birds of prey such as hawks and eagles.
Since Christ said that no man knows the day or hour, Paul could not have know that he would be alive during that event.
Also, we are NOT appointed unto the wrath of God which will come upon the whole world in the the tribulation! 1 Thessalonians 5 verse 9
In no way can 70AD be termed a "return" of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It is obvious that in 1 Thess.4 and 1 Cor.15 that our Lord returns FOR His Church. But in Revelation 19:7-9, 14; 1 Thessalonians 3:13; Zechariah 14:9; Revelation 19:15, 16, after the ravages of the Tribulation, He returns WITH His Church.
Those epistles addresses the audience who received them, as Jesus also addressed that generation. Paul writes to a group who were experiencing the persecutions in their day, and wrath which was about to come (70ad). He didn't write a letter for people 2000 years later,they understood exactly what he was referring to. The being caught up in the air, is metaphoric imagery. The air is the most holy place opened (heaven and earth was the old temple in Jerusalem). The new heaven and earth, and temple, is already now. In Christ. We are in Him. We can't be more with him later. We are joined. One. Union. Spirit. New creation already present.
@@andrewdove342 most scholars totally disagree with what you are saying. Just to name a few Ravi Zacharias, David Jeremiah, John MacArthur
@mal'ak emeth why is it ignored the saints who were dead that were Ressurected when Jesus went to paradise, the dead brought to life. Just trying to study without man's guess but by the spirit.
The majority of Christians get mired in the swamp of interpretive controversy because they don't have an overarching view of eschatology. Sincere questions: Is a Jewish view of "final things" escapist or redemptive? Need we be translated to another "place" because the Gospel has ultimately failed to gather and purify a people for God? If not, why do we need a "tribulation:? If the Gospel has not initiated a present and growing kingdom, how can we have any confidence in either the salvific or sanctifying power of Christ's life, death, resurrection, ascension, and final return?
@Spiritual Eyes vs Physical Eyes I believe God and the Bible says the new earth will be nothing like the one we are living in now
Blessed to have discovered this man of God

Great Teaching DR. Clear and presice overview
Risen life of christ in us too. Oh glory to God
God bless this man....I love listening to him.
Sound doctrine! Graceful as well
Although timing does not matter because we should be ready always. I do believe RC has it wrong though on this. ❤
The 'Rapture' is full of holes.
wish more folks listened to this guy. so many are deceived by foolish blind. thank God for sproul and his crew
I love these videos, I miss R.C. Sproul
Be ready for both scenarios
Kenny - I’m with you on this one. I have faith in Jesus Christ, but not in my ability to figure everything out. Lotsa people in the world know everything about everything and aren’t shy about telling you so... I ain’t one of ‘em. I was raised in a pre-trib rapture church and was convinced of a rapture then. Later I spent 19 years in a partial preterist no rapture church and was convinced there too. Now I just say “I don’t know, but I’m leaving on the first bus out of here.”
Oh what an amazing day that will be...to be with the LORD...pure HOLY love.. HIS pure grace... our pure joy. .. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❣❤🙏😄
Amazing when it happens, even after the tribulation of those days! Mat24:29

It's RC Sproul, therefore he can't be wrong. But didn't Jesus say, as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be also in the days of the son of man? Luke 17:26. The things that the people are going to be doing in the days leading up to the Rapture and the final judgment Luke 17:26 are the same things the people were doing in the days that led to the Ark and the judgment, Luke 17:27 which are eating and in drinking, marrying and giving in marriage. But the days that lead to the second coming of Christ are not the days that lead to the Rapture and the final judgment but are days of great tribulation Mathew 4:21,22 when the people won't be eating and drinking as well as the people did in the days before the flood, because it will be a time of death and destruction, a time when the people's number one priority is to survive, and when marrying and giving in marriage may just be the farthest thing from their minds because of the unprecedented death rate. People are going to be dying so fast that if those days are not shortened not even the elect will be saved. So, for the Scripture to be fulfilled, and for there to be a post-tribulation Rapture, the people will have to be eating and drinking, doing all of the stuff that Jesus said they'll be doing during the time of the tribulation period.
@@garvinsmith4555 Did you watch the series? Have you listened to Jeff Durbin's sermon on the Tribulation? I highly recommend them. God-bless
This is the most comprehensive blessed teaching. Thank you for sharing. I have shared it to loved family members.
This verse proves Jesus has already come back the 2nd time. “But He kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?” And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”” (Mar 14:61-62, NASB)
I don't get it
"Even so, COME, LORD JESUS!!"
I've been talking to our children about these things. So much to being a Christian than merely attending a church.
Well articulated and knowledge based teaching!
Paul stated “comfort each other with these words....” I believe he would not have stated that had the tribulation been what we were waiting for!
Well some christian persecution is death so how can you be comforted if you're dead?
Excuse Me....The comfort being spoken of is that you will see your loved ones again.
@@daniticasimmons Philippians 1:21- For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Psalm 27 you said yourself Jacobs trouble, do you even know what that means ? And if you don’t read Hebrew don’t even try to say things actually the apostle Paul wrote there ...saved out from ..not go through and this is the first time in my life when I hear that apostle Paul when he wrote to the church of Thessalonians to encourage them he didn’t think that the rapture it won’t happen in his life time , the way he wrote its exact what he said , and since he believe that he told them to encourage one another with this words , as simple as that , why someone try to twist the truth 🤷♀️, Jacobs trouble means Israel s troubles and the purpose of the tribulation is for the Jewish nation , listen to a messianic Jews and he will tell you exactly what it is and why , may God bless everyone!!!
Chicken Nuggets no actually Paul comfort them becouse they thought that the rapture took place and they were left behind, read in 2Thessalonians what Paul wrote to the church
You want to please your creator. Live the life he gave you the best you can. And accept Christ.
Excellent post!
In the wedding ceremony, the caught up was followed by a time of sevens. He came to take the bride from her home to His fathers home for a time of sevens. He didn’t stay at her home.
Is not the World God's & His Kingdom come to Earth at the end of the Great White Throne Judgment
The wedding ceremony is not the words of Jesus!
@@dennisboyd1712
The great white throne judgment comes after the world is destroyed by fire after the 1,000 year reign of Christ!
The Lamb of God and His bride physically return at the beginning of the millennium in Rev.21:9-10!
I agree with Dr. Sproul's presentation. However, when he criticizes the partial preterists for spiritualizing the second coming of the Lord, he is guilty of the same thing when he talks about the Millennium in the Book of Revelation. The problem with most Reformed Theologians is that even though they got the doctrine of God and Salvation right, they simply continued embracing the Augustian and Aquinian view of biblical prophecy when it came to the End Times. It wasn't till the third wave of the Reformation, that of the Anabaptists, that the correct doctrine of believers baptism and a futuristic view of the End Times began to be taught. Infant Baptism is merely a carry over of the Catholic ritual. You see it in the Lutheran and Reformed traditions. Apparently, that aspect of theology was not a priority during the initial stages of the Reformation. Unfortunately, they never really took the time to examine the two doctrines from a fresh perspective, despite the fact that the NT is so clear regarding believers baptism by immersion as Paul illustrates it in Romans 6.
Interesting point
So Anabaptists have it right?
Don't get so excited from Happiness...Don't get Sad & depressed ...Because after each sadness ...HAPPINESS IS COMING. WINTER IS SO SHORT.

My only hope is Jesus. Hope He takes us out soon. I have no home here, but I have a home in heaven with Jesus.
Brilliant.

See you with YHWH Yeshua in the Heaven!
@mal'ak emeth Just your tone and how you are Passive Aggressive. Looks like, You like pointing fingers at people, you filled with Ego and pride, you act as you are so so perfect, Shame on you! Yes we should Be Repentant, but the way you started this conversation, as so unnecessarily aggressive. Will push people away, you will have to answer to Jesus one day for how foolish and unloving your approach was. You can inform them in a better more gentle way, let them understand, You just like to feed your Ego. I rebuke you the Spirit of Pride in Jesus name!
@mal'ak emeth Good job exposing yourself as who you really are, you are a servant of satan! Hopefully you change before its too late, that's it im not going to respond to you again you are a Fool.
mal'ak emeth i guess you mean it positively, bc you want people to be really saved and not decevied and I appreciate you for that, but tou are kinda being a legalistic pharisee and dont get me wrong i am guilty of this too
I was going to watch this today but after I got half way through I have decided to put my phone next to my bed. And after I stop my prayers I will cilimb into bed. Lay may head on my pillow and start this. THE NEXT TIME I HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING.
Brilliantly explained… legend
A simple reading of Revelation(which was a vision written in chronological order) leads to PreTrib Rapture.
Not a reason to divide over, though. Love me some R.C. Sproul
Not written in chronological order.
Now this is exactly what Jesus, Paul was talking about, something never seemed right about a pre trib rapture, definitely the Spirit of Truth was not leading my heart to a doctrine like that, great teaching. Even so Come Lord
true, and thanks
Awesome!
What an incredibly knowledgeable man of God.🙏🏼❤️
Revelation 6:11 (KJV)
[11] And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
This tells me that the church is still on the earth during the tribulation
Rick, That only says that those martyred for their faith will continue to sleep until the rest are martyred. Read “The Next Medo-Persian Empire” to be Rapture ready.
If you know that the FIRST resurrection occurs in millennium (Read Rev chapter 20) then you can be certain the the rapture is immediately after the tribulation as is stated in Matt 24:29. The rapture occurs after the first resurrection so it cannot occur pretribulation.
That's not the church/saints on earth. Those are the tribulation saints who are martyred. The Jews.
@@l.b.sommer2087
The second coming is not the rapture.
What happened with Noah? And what happened with Lot?
Did God remove them from His wrath?
Why?
@@magriffing3497 Christ is coming to earth once. We are told he will return the same way he left and he only left once. When he arrives there will be a rapture and the kingdom will be established in Jerusalem. This why he taught us to pray for god's kingdom to come. Those who are resurrected in the first resurrection rule as kings and priests ON EARTH. (Rev 20:4-6, Rev 5:10) The scriptures do indicate that there is time between the time of the rapture and final day of God's wrath. (Read Rev. chapter 14) Lot lived thru ungodly days and was rescued at the last moment. Noah lived in a violent world and he too was rescued at the last moment. We too will live through tribulation and will face the Anti-Christ. (See Rev. 20:4-6 - those resurrected have already faced the Anti-Christ) The prophecy of the mark of the beast was given to John 30 years after the destruction of Jerusalem, so we know that these saints that are resurrected are from our last days and not from the first century. We know the resurrection occurs before the rapture. If the FIRST resurrection as it is called in the scriptures occurs in the millennium as we are told in Revelation chapter 20, then a pre-tribulation rapture is impossible.
No one will be first. They will all come together to meet the Lord in the air.
What a wondrous day will it be…
It's imminent xx💛💛💛
Yeah right after the 3rd temple the abomination of desolation the mark the tribulation and 2 thirds of the world dying
Give us an exact date or you are talking out of your arse.
Imminency for the Church, not unbelieving Israel. Sadly 2/3rds will suffer and die before the remaining 1/3rd will look upon whom was pierced.
@PlowsharesintoSwords This is why I hold to the PanRapturism. You go to the Lord's calling according to your belief system. Personally, I'm going prior to Daniel's 70th wk when hell comes to earth.
2 Thessalonians Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of [a]Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
I am a full preterist... Thank you, Dr. Sproul, for you contribution to my journey. See you some day.
How can you believe everything prophesied happened? Where is Daniel's missing week and The Revelation events recorded in any History?!
@@hildapage7065 Hello Hilda, I am not going to get into a long drug out response, I have learned, in general, people believe what they have been taught all their lives. Here are 4 bible verses (there are hundreds more) that no futurist can answer in a definitive, logical way.
1. Set aside what you have been taught for 15 minutes and read the first 5 verses of Revelation and ask yourself, who was the Revelation written too and pay attention to the message of imminence in the first 5 verses. The biblical translators of the NT had a reason they used words such as "soon" and "near". The two Greek words translated as "soon and near" mean exactly that............not 2000 years and counting. Therefore, I believe the author of the NT document.
2. Matthew 16:28...............Some of those people in Jesus' audience that day are not still living today. Therefore I believe When Jesus told his audience, "some standing here" (that day in his audience) would live to see his return.
3. Matthew 10:23....................The people (the 12) given the commission to go to the cities of Israel (not to the gentiles, but the lost sheep of Israel) would not finish their mission prior Jesus' return. I believe Jesus, not what I have been taught all of my life.
4. Matthew 24:34.......................Who was the audience when Jesus spoke those words? What were the specific questions presented to Jesus? When did Jesus say it would occur? I believe Jesus, not the many preachers, teachers and end time pendants who taught me all of my life.
Mr. Sproul was key in helping me to reach the conclusions I have reached back in the ealy 2000's. His presentation, if studied out to its logical conclusion's along with the biblical text is paramount to defend the deity of Christ and the Inspiration/authority of scripture from the atheist and agnostics along with end time prophecy pundits.
Good luck in your journey!

“Remember the word that I said unto you, *The servant is not greater than his lord* If they have persecuted me, *they will also persecute you* if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.”
“But all these things *will they do unto you for my name's sake* because they know not him that sent me.”
{John 15:20-21}
1 Timothy 6:13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting.
Amen. Love!
Not according to Jesus it is according to R.C. Sproul
I heard from a fellow choir member at St. Andrews that Dr. Sproul had written a book stating that the Anti-Christ was Nero. Do any of the videos address how this fits in the last days?
Not sure if any of these videos address it, but I believe Sproul would say that Nero was the “man of lawlessness” mentioned in 2 Thess. 2, as well as the anti-christ mentioned in Revelation (both were in reference to Nero/the destruction of the Jewish temple in 70 AD)
Could you give us your interpretation of St Paul 1Thes 4:13-18 at min.16:40?
Who are you asking? The guy in the video passed away some time ago. Now, as far as the verses go, what do *YOU* believe them to teach?
It's very clear in the Gospels of when the "rapture" / resurrection occurs. Jesus said four times in the Gospels.... I will raise you up at the Last Day. Meaning, the last 24-hours of history or of time. No secret rapture, no two returns... one return, and one bodily resurrection and one transformation of those who are alive into a their new creation bodies.

Did you hear his Freudian slip? Let's argue 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don't believe in the rapture..
The LORD IS getting my mind prepared. So I know it's really really close. NO GOLD NO SILVER NO BITCOIN Just LUKE 21:36🙏👼💁
1 Thess. 5:9 For God has "not appointed us to suffer wrath", but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Wrath as in hell, yes. Don't confuse wrath with tribulation. Tribulation has been part of Christianity since the beginning and will be until the end. Don't let the blessing of living in America skew that historical perspective.
@@suiko2fan2 There is so much more to the end times than black and white wrath or no wrath, tribulation or no tribulation. It's complex. Initially some believers will be taken, others will be left behind for testing, in the end there will be those who will not submit to God no matter what. Rather, they'll believe a false god, for which they will face judgement poured out upon the earth (wrath).
- Rev 3:10 "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth."
- 2 Peter 2:9 "then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment"
- Proverbs 16:4 "The Lord has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble."
Amen
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast down to hell, and delivered into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
I don’t care about the apostle creed. I care about the inspired word of God!
The apostles creed is a direct creation of the word of God. Every detail comes from scripture. The early church clung to its truths.
As much as I love R.C's teaching on the holiness of God and election, Eschatology is not his strong area in fact his own understanding of it has proven spurious at best. He makes the statement that the church that is called up for the rapture will not remain with the Lord and yet that is exactly what Paul says in 1Thes 4 " and there they will ever be" indeed the church will return with the Lord at His 2nd coming (the rapture is not the 2nd coming for we meet Him in the clouds). I miss RC but not his eschatology, he gets that quite wrong!
If the Dispenstionalsist position is correct, then Jesus is a false prophet. There's no other way to say it. Did He or did He not promise the priests at His trial that they would see Him come with Power? Now, either they saw the judgement or they didn't. Which is it?
@@waltjones40 It's a problem or Hermeneutics, the judgment only spoken about in this context in Matt 24 is at the end of the age and not in the same time as Mark and Luke they are referring to the coming Kingdom or the "church age" in acts.
