Peace brother, The weight may be very heavy to carry, the like of which we Americans can't to begin to imagine. However Jesus said to trust him. Fast and pray.
It was in 1973 and I was 9 years old. It happened on a Sunday I can remember well. Daddy and Mum and I were in the living room early in the afternoon and I was reading a Kid's Bible, even not knowing that it was one... it was a gift. I liked to see that drawings in color showing the Lion playing with a child , the text was talking about Jesus who would one day reign on Earth for 1000 years and... said also... Jesus would come back on a time nobody expects. I will make it short here, since the Spirit of God started working in me about getting "converted" to Jesus. I was seating on the floor thinking about Jesus coming back and all of a sudden... I was put on the spot in a fire bubble, it feels like that... and an indiscribable joy invaded me. I felt the heat inside of me and a joy... amazing. I wept and wept in that Joy and heat. Than something incredible happened... A voice came from the "ceiling" in front of me and slightly at the left side. This "voice" said... "Boy, you will see me coming back, you will be part of it". I jumped and started running through the house , shouting ..." I wanna serve God, I wanna serve God".... I was energized. My father asked me: "Son what is happening with you???" My answer was... Father... "I wanna serve God, I wanna serve God". My mum was just still. No idea if she understood but my Daddy said: Son, what has happened to you today, I still didn't experienced at 36 years old." Since he said that I could calculate how old I was at that time. This personal experience has accompanied me for all these years and now... it is getting serious.... HE is coming back soon ... and that boy... today 56y....will see HIM coming.
I have felt that joy as well, and felt what it would be like to no longer have a sin nature but for me it happened while talking to my aunt about Christ when I was first saved and a couple other times in dreams. I have also had a feeling or intuition that I would see the Return of a Christ in the Rapture since I was young, probably third grade or so. I’ve mentioned on several occasions to both friends and family that I believed I would see the Rapture and have gone on Rapture watch every Rosh Hashanah for several years now lol. That said, looking at the downfall of the United States there can be no doubt it is imminent. Thanks for sharing and I pray many others get a good hard kick from the Holy Spirit that the time is now to repent and believe in Jesus and be saved.
I know he is coming soon and I'm so grateful to have been saved. Since I've died twice, once in sin and then since salvation and they were opposite experiences. I have no doubt that I was being reserved for judgment in 2001. Then in 2020, I died again and was met by Jesus who restored me then to my body but once you are truly saved, just the contemplation of Jesus is joyful for me. I believe it is so I can see him come back but also to spread the gospel which we are all admonished to do. I hope you're telling your testimony every chance you get so you have those opportunities to share the love of Jesus 🙂
I’m so thankful the Lord led me to your channel. I treasure teachers like you, who actually teach Bible prophecy, and take the Bible as the literal, authoritative word of God. “For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.” 1 Corinthians 14: 33

That is idolatry. Dr Barnett is not infallible and his teaching of a pre-tribulation rapture is not found in the Bible and - being kind here - he just about lies about it.
I don't think your view on the rapture (pre trib, mid trib, post trib) plays a role in whether your saved or not. The only thing that matters is whether or not your sins have been covered by the Lamb of God and if you have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit which can only come through faith in Jesus Christ.
@IYearn4HisReturn Christian education regarding many topics is very poor! Has been poor for centuries! Many generations had been told since Christ ascension that his return was eminent! This view is simply not accurate not has it ever been even though it waś thought to be! But we know according to Paul in second Thessalonians that the anti Christ and his reign signals Christ return! We do know that the entire body of Christ which includes old testament believers elected by God will be raptured and though there was an old testament and now a new i one Christ has one body, not two! Lastly amillenials do believe in the rapture but they do not think there is a literal 1000 year earthly reign because the moment Christ entered heaven from his crucifixion his reign began and he reigns now. If you are elected, you will be raptured or resurrected. Christ never stated that his return would be secret!
Christ has one body elected to him by the Father through two testaments! There will be one resurrection for those who will live eternally with the Lord and one for those who will not! The Father elects, the Son sacrificed, the Holy spirit seals! This topic is not easy to grasp even for the best of minds. If you are elected in Christ, you will raised incorruptible! Pure and simple!
@@bechet12 Luke 12 :36 when he comes for his servants where is he coming from. The wedding . You cant have a wedding with out the bride . You need to read the scriptures more and get Gods views on this instead of listening to people who are uninformed telling you what they think rather than what scripture says . Secret is in an hour you do not know is it not. So to install the word secret as though it was a Heresy . You should be real careful in following people who are deceived with creative words to deceive you. Scripture is the final authority always. Think about the 5 wise virgins. Luke 21 pray you may be found worthy to escape all these things. 1 Corinthians 15 not appointed to wrath period not protected through it but not appointed to it. Rev 3 rev 4:1 come up here with the sound like a trump and open door then the 5 virgins go in the door was shut. John 14:3. Luke 25 1 thes 1: 14-18. Dan 9
@@bechet12 bro what bible version do you read because I'm pretty sure it states that his millennial reign is after the 7 year tribulation and his return.
But what about those expecting the rapture, only to be tempted by the mark of the Beast. I would rather be pleasantly surprised, than freaked and give in to the mark if the beast. There will be a lot of those that will not be ready to have our heads cut off at the synagogue, like Jesus says in Matt 23 and 24. I would much rather believe I MUST endure to the end, as Christ instructs us. I can't bare not being ready for hell on earth, (but not wrath), and be ready to stand up, for Christ, and allow my death, for the love of Christ. I can only hope everyone will be ready to give their life for Christ, as he gave his for us. Even his beloved disciples each were killed for the love of Christ. I never forget that. Nor do I forget the mark of the beast. I am ready beyond the rapture, and this preps me much better. May the Lord's will be done.
@@Hotcheetos25 I’ve never seen a good argument for pretrib. He’s right. When the Mark comes there will be many pastors saying don’t worry, there’s no way it can be the mark of the beast because we are still here.
@@Hotcheetos25 Jesus taught us that we would face persecution. Those who slander believers are fulfilling that by doing the work of their father who is named "slanderer". Stay steadfast in the Word of God which is the fortress against lies (even on TH-cam). God bless.
@Psalm 2:8-9 for one im black and no one knows what color Yahshua is that shouldnt matter anyway bruh and second youre committing a sin being hateful to ppl love your brothers!!!
@Psalm 2:8-9 You are the instigator here so back up bro. P.S., I've seen Jesus Christ and he ain't black. He is like nothing you have ever seen or could even describe. He does NOT have human flesh. He is in His resurrected body and we all also who are in Christ will have the same type of body.
There is NO GREATER DECISION than accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior! I am so happy in knowing that the Son of God lives within my heart! Thank you Jesus, for being my Lord and Savior and for the forgiveness of all my sin, by your precious blood. I love you and serve you with all my heart.
It’s becoming so sad that as the body of Christ, we argue points that NONE of us know 100 percent. I am guilty of this myself, end it is so dishonoring to our Lord and Savior. Our stupid pride starts seeping out as we try to argue points that we ourselves are interpreting differently. I’m not talking about fundamental gospel stuff. I’m talking about stuff like when the rapture will occur. I’ll tell you who does know. The creator of all things, and we should leave it to him. We as the church should follow his commandments, being faithful as we continue to run this race. And one more thing. When we start calling each other ignorant because of different views on these smaller things, we are sitting against God. We are commanded to love one another. When we admonish, we do it with love. We need to remain in him so he remains in us. We need to humble ourselves and love one another. And faithfully follow his commandments.
I completely agree myself. If God wants us to suffer a little bit to bring as many souls as we can with us to eternity with him, then so be it. If we get out of here early, that's great too! No need to create division, unforgiveness, and anger in our hearts towards our brothers over it...
@@Ddcfus4gsSuffering for Christ could definitely have to do with helping others find Christ. I think it’s largely because he suffered. We will be marked by the world because Christ set us apart. They will see him in us and will hate us. But, think of our reward in heaven. Reread what we get to look forward to. Praise Jesus and the Father. Blessings to you my friend and family in Christ
Though we don't know with 100% precision, it is important to challenge our understanding only to sharpen and refine! Why, because there are false views regarding future eschatological events. The language in scripture is more complex than most of us understand regarding end of days prophecies! There is much doctrinal garbage in the faith on many issues.
I agree that genuine Christians should be able to treat each other with patience, courtesy and love when we discuss doctrinal matters. The MOST important aspect of such discussions is the REASONING of someone else who holds a different viewpoint. I don't go so far as to say eschatology shouldn't be discussed AT ALL among Christians, since it is in the Bible for our knowledge and benefit. It seems to me that the main differences and problems arise due to interpretive methods and their application to various passages. I'm curious about something, which perhaps any Pre-tribbers reading this comment can answer for me. (I'm a Post-tribber myself.) My question also arises out of social media discussions of this topic that I've observed going on in a Facebook group I belong to. My question is this: When did the term "rapture" begin to be used only in reference to the Pre-trib view? I'm a Post-tribber and have always referred to the "Post-Trib Rapture." The term "rapture," while etymologically derivative from the Latin word 'rapio' which in turn is used to translate the Greek 'harpazo,' a form of which-harpagēsometha-is used in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 and is typically rendered there as "will/shall be caught up/away" in English, stems directly from the scriptures and refers back to this 1 Thessalonians passage. So the English language theological term "Rapture" is derived in the way described from the 'catching up' when the Lord returns, and is merely a term of convenience for referring to this event. In that respect, I don't understand why the question of the REALITY of this event should get mixed up with the correctness or incorrectness of the Pre-trib TIMING of it; what I've seen people debating-rather like the implication in title of this video ("…Christians who don't believe in the Rapture?")-is that either Christians think the Rapture is Pre-trib OR THEY THINK IT DOESN'T EXIST AS ALL. I realize this is a development in the usage of terminology, but I've always heard the same event, the Rapture, referred to in terms of belief in its TIMING, and not in terms of belief in its REALITY. I can understand how some people think a Pre-trib timing of a 'secret' Rapture is not biblical, but I don't see why those people are assumed or reported to believe in NO RAPTURE/'CATCHING UP' AT ALL-? I certainly believe in a (Post-Trib) Rapture myself, and so do all the other Post-tribs I know.
If you are born again, then the Lord is with you, and you are with the Lord. Therefore, no matter how the Lord is to play His cards in reference to “rapture” He will come for you when He plans to. No matter what you know or don’t know about tribulation time or rapture
I’m worried the false Messiah they call Jesus whom they claim did away with Gods Law will appear first and fool many. We are waiting on the true Messiah Yahshua who upheld and taught Gods Law.
@@bonsaipiper3773 Yahshua is who they pierced. Our Messiah’s name is Yahshua. Some spell it Yeshua. Our Messiah taught the Law of God. The name Yahshua means salvation. Catholicism came along and twisted the doctrine. They created a false Messiah named Jesus and claim he did away with Gods Law. Remember the antichrist is literally called the Lawless one. Main stream Christianity all over the world teaches the Law is done away with. When the antichrist comes he will claim to be Jesus and he will teach what they already believe. That’s why Christians everywhere will be fooled.
@@fivebooks8498 You do know He is known by many names, right? You can call him whatever you wish, but if a person believes in their heart He is the King of Kings and died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins and rose again on the third day to life so that we may have eternal life how is calling Him by a different name going to keep you from being with Him in Paradise?
@Tim C Can't. Sacrifices can only be done at the temple. There is currently no temple. The apostles did continue doing Sacrifices throughout the book of Acts until the temple was destroyed in 70AD. The writer of Hebrews wrote about sacrifices happening at that time also. Were they wrong to do so?
Amazing documentary. Reveals so much Jesus said that has made so many wonder, like why doesn't the son know the time but only the Father? It's a truly awesome documentary.
My father was waiting for Jesus Christ to return, he wants to see that moment when Jesus appears in the cloud, how wonderful that would be. My father though he would lived to see, but my father passed on 2011, but I have the hope that my father is with our Lord the moment that he took his last breath here . God bless you all.
Your father WILL get to participate in the rapture - the dead in Christ will rise before the living are changed/taken (: 1 Thess 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
I prayed very hard for chuck Missler to stay alive so he could see that event that he was so very passionate about. when he passed away I was very disappointed that my prayers were not answered. driving on the freeway , I feel that the Holy Spirit gave me a comforting message. Chuck didn't miss the rapture blessing, he will greet to experience MORE of the rapture / catching away as HE will get to experience death, being absent from the body and present with the Lord, returning in the spirit with Jesus Christ for the bride. resurrection, then be first to be caught away. what I looked at as a failed prayer was Actually Jesus Christ blessing the man man in a way I could not imagine!!
How could one not believe in rapture when Bible says "dead in Christ will rise first then those who are alive and remain will be CAUGHT UP to me Jesus IN THE AIR"
This is the rapture. The disappearance of millions of people will cause mass panic and collapse of economy. Antichrist will step on to the scene with ALL the answers and will bring peace to the world (at first) then he will show his true nature a year and a half later and turn on Israel
@@knarftrakiul3881 you say that eith zero biblical references to back it up. The dead in christ will rise first(1 thessalonians 4:17), when do the dead in christ rise? Revelations 20:4-5 is when jesus raises the dead in christ, he also says "this is the first ressurection". How can the rapture happen before the dead in christ are risen? And if there is a rapture before the dead in christ are risen the 1 corinthians 15:52 is false because we will then preceede those who have fallen asleep in christ and we would go before the dead in christ. If the dead in christ are risen before the end of the tribulation in revelations 20:4-5 then that raising of the dead in christ is not the first ressurection and you make the words of christ written through John a liar! How do you explain these things?
That does adequately define the doctrine or the definition of the “rapture”. And that is why there is so much controversy over the subject. Listening to idiots like this one will only confuse you.
@scottwall8419 We believers are alive when we die and so are the dead unbelievers. The dead in Christ are taken at the instant they die to Abraham's bosom ( in the presence of Abraham where he is currently/alive ) 1rst Thessonalonians 4 is our joining ALL the dead believers in Christ are going to receive our ' glorified bodies', when we are caught up to meet Jesus ' in the AIR /CLOUDS but we that are alive and remain until ' that day' will not precede those who died before ' that Day' ( actual rapture day) . This is what we are waiting on. The day that Jesus comes for His church. This is the day that the ' age of the Gentiles ' fulfillment which ends . A new prophectic age begins which will be a time period of exactly seven (7) years which is when anti-christ will be revealed. The seven years is the Great Tribulations period. We believers that are removed will be ' in heaven ' during the 7yrs Tribulations on Earth. This is known as the marriage supper of the Lamb. We (the raptured believers combined with all those believers that ever lived and died once before the event of the rapture ) Will be reunited with our resurrected bodies on the day of the rapture. After the 7-year tribulations have expired , then we will return with Jesus physically on The day He decends from heaven just like He ascended after his crucifixion and earthly resurrection over 2000 yrs ago. Remember that we will be returned ' physically ' and known as we are known. 😊
I used to preach in prisons and jails. I learned to preach Jesus and focus on salvation in these settings. Several times I spoke on the rapture. The inmates started arguing, fighting, and a riot would ensue. Guards would have to lock down and whisk me out of area. Definitely not a doctrine to lead with the lost, my opinion. Unless there is curiosity. I believe now that the teaching is best for the mature in Christ.
Oh that's absolutely true I 100% believe that the word of God teaches the pre-trib rapture it's found throughout the Bible old and New testament Jesus teachers in the upper room to the disciples before his crucifixionl l in the book of John chapter 14 he speaks of going away and parallels it to a Jewish Galilean wedding which the disciples were very familiar with and knew what he was talking about so it seems like demonic entities are trying pretty hard 2 have a lot of arguing and other evil actually name-calling within the body of Christ concerning the rapture of the church a lot of darkness is being shown concerning this topic it definitely is not being considered as the blessed hope which the holy spirit of God through the apostle Paul speaks of in the book of Titus ya so if the church is going to go through the tribulation why would the holy spirit of God say to comfort one another with these words of the blessed hope I really don't think Jesus wants to beat up his bride there will be a huge amount of people that will come to salvation in the tribulation. The saints that will be beheaded that will die for Christ in the tribulation butt we are in the church age right now and the bride of Christ
Nancy Gobis I had to learn it the hard way. I remember that I was really starting to comprehend the doctrine. I was so excited to enlighten the masses. When my audiences did not like what I said they let me know it. Ha! But that is how He gives us wisdom.
Bless you to Nancy and peace. Ha! An inmate rebuked you! It will not change until the wedding and we acquire our new threads! Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.” Then chapter 6 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” And I looked, and behold, a white horse.
Thank you for teaching sound precepts and principles of God's word. I studied the bible for many years and your teachings affirm and confirm what God's Holy Spirit has taught me and you really help so many in teaching sound doctrine. Thank you and may our Lord God and Savior continue to bless you.
I'm waiting patiently as I can but still occupying my time until that great and glorious day of the Rapture. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus come quickly
It's the day of Christ or the Day of the Lord, not the day of the Rapture. The Rapture isn't our hope. Sorry to be so blunt. Our hope is supposed to be in Christ, not the Rapture. Our hope is not in getting beamed out. Our hope is in the faith and forgiveness of Christ. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord whether you pass away, as billions of Christians already have and will, or whether you are alive and remain when Christ returns which will end your life as well. You will not be alive. For those people Christ will take them and that will end their life on Planet Earth. Why? Because everyone is appointed once to die and then the judgment. Although, as far the Bible tells us, there have only been two people who have not died, Enoch and Elijah. And maybe those two are the Two Witnesses. No one knows.
@@jamespena4721 It’s not “their opinion”. You’d rather escape persecution and believe this false rapture lie than to stand tall and be persecuted in the name of the Lord. I get we’re not all on the same walks with Christ, but quit looking forward to escaping the same trials & tribulations Jesus’s disciples and other Early Christians had to go through. The rapture is THE beast mentality. Satan is going to fake Christ’s coming before He actually does come, because God is boundless to time, so it technically has happened, which gives Satan leverage to copy it, because he can ONLY do that. He can’t give life, only God can.
RAPTURE IS NOT MENTIONED ANYWHERE IN GOD'S WORD. II Thesalonians 2:1-4, WE DO NOT GATHER BACK TO CHRIST UNTIL AFTER THE SON OF PERDITION, WHO IS SATAN, STANDS IN THE HOLY PLACE CLAIMING TO BE GOD, CHRIST. RAPTURE BELIEVERS ALREADY HAVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST IN THEIR FOREHEADS AND WILL EAGERLY BE WORSHIPPING SATAN WHEN HE ARRIVES CLAIMING TO BE CHRIST BEFORE CHRIST RETURNS.
I love Calvary Church. Found a local one within walking distance, and it's now my home church. Good, sound biblical teachings, not seeking to tickle itching ears, and always preaching the true Gospel of Jesus Christ!
@@CognitiveChaosCreations No pictures of Jesus. Yes we meet on Sunday...and Wednesday..and Friday...and Saturday. (Go read Romans 14:5, right now, before you even think of responding); and since they don't turn a profit, of course they're tax exempt. I see what you're getting at, and frankly, you're mocking the Body of Christ, and you need to repent!
@@donnaroberts4513 No one ever said Sunday is the Sabbath. We're well aware that Saturday is the Sabbath. We meet on Sunday as it's the Lord's day, and the early church also met on Sunday, as people who weren't followers of the Way and other Jews were at synagogue on Saturday. Go and learn this: "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath."
@@donnaroberts4513 There's also quite a bit of debate about the Rapture, so please tell me: What aspect of the rapture are you talking about to start with; and what do you say Calvary has "wrong" about it?
Thank you brother Barnette for sharing your knowledge of Christ with me.. as I’m sure so many others feel the same.. I always learn much from your teachings… May God continue blessing you & yours..😊🙏🙌
“Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:8 ESV
What happens to Rapturist when they here on earth while the things are going down. When Jesus comes as he told the disciples when he left the first time, He will come the same way for the 2nd time. Don't be delusional of a rapture. We will all go through the bad times together so prepare yourself spiritually.
“Love doesn’t require approval!”- Dr. Frank Turek; ask any parent if they approve everything their children do! Doesn’t mean that they are haters or bigots. Just loving parents who want the very best for whom they love. Praise Jesus Christ
It's so rare these days to find a preacher/teacher speaking out against SIN! Jesus Christ said REPENT. This should be included in every sermon in addition to what Jesus did on the Cross.
In June of 2020 I had a Rapture dream. I was laying in bed half asleep when I saw a bright light and and a loud thunder clap, I got up and looked out side there was not a cloud in the sky. I went back to bed and heard the holy spirit say "your not ready" that's when I started to read the Bible and pray at least 2 hrs a day. About a month later I had another dream/ vision, in which I was stuck in traffic, and got out of my vehicle to see chaos all around me. Then suddenly I was standing at the end of a church an all white tuxedo and the people in the pues were also all in white. Everyone very young like in there teens or twenties. Men were wearing all white tuxedos and women wearing long white gowns with habits on their heads and we're singing praises to the Lord for a hymnal, and at the end of the all white cathedral was Jesus floating in mid air with a bright light behind him where the alter should be, and his arms were extended as if to hug me and he had a big smile. I was so shocked I woke up from my vision/ dream asking my self what the heck just happened? I said to my self, WOW! You were Raptured! It was amazing even if it was just for a moment. I asked for a rapture dream and that's exactly what I got. Glory to God! I've been studying and reading the word and praying ever since.
The pastor speaks true! I've died twice. Once in my sin and I had clearly been reserved for judgment but the last time I died, I think I was okay because Jesus met me, stopped me really, from going beyond the house. I could see through the house when I was in my next form but didn't realize I was dead until Jesus reached passed me and so I looked to where he was stretching his hand to and thats when I saw my lifeless body and I had the strangest sensation for just a second because Jesus had reached into my chest and wrapped his hand around my heart and restored its beat, saying, "No, not yet." Maybe my nest isn't ready yet? I'd go tomorrow if I could but I also kind of want to be here for the mass rapture. As He wills! God bless and Godspeed! Marantha, Abba Father!!
if people keep rubbishing other peoples beliefs then its a very unchristian view to have and the evangelicals are the most guilty party in that regard its an insult to the billions of good people of all faiths and none who have lived and died to say that they wont be saved thats not the kind of behaviour that should be practised
Thank you for this teaching. I’m 60. years old studied under a lot of the greats especially Calvary in Costa Mesa. The 2 angels speaking to the disciples as Jesus just rose and we would only loving eyes would see him is the first time I’ve heard this insight. So simple and easy. God Bless you. 🙏💕✝️🕊
The whole rapture thing feels like a distraction from the true goal...Its saving souls for Gods Kingdom...We have to focus on Gods kingdom and the Gospel... That is more important than the Rapture...We have to finish the work... The apostles before us died for us to finish the race and continue the work they did not finish for Christ...A rapture and looking for one seems like a way out of what is important...Whether I die preaching the Gospel or live to see a rapture it does not matter to me...I win either way because I get to see the Lord Jesus Christ and sit before him and enjoy his presents for the rest of my life...And appreciate what he has done for me on earth and truly enjoy what I will experience in heaven...We need to look towards saving souls for his kingdom and honoring him here on earth...God bless you all and may Christ be with you all.....
It’s not either or it’s both. We work in the Father’s vineyard while eagerly expecting His return: consecration purification sanctification by the Holy Spirit and our yieldedness to the Lord. Remember Jesus words He is the vine and we are the branches. When we remain in him we will produce His fruit. Blessings and peace.
Luke 12:25-26 [25]And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? [26]If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? Before the world was we were chosen. Nobody person makes a choice for Christ. They have been chosen and predestined for the kingdom of God before the earth was made. Romans 11:2 [2]God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Ephesians 1:4 [4]According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Another bingo. Has anybody checked where this Scofield Bible comes from anyway? He was just a man with an idea. God wrote the Bible way before he came along. Some would say this is a non-essential issue but if I don't believe it then am I subtracting it from Scripture or did Scofield add it to Scripture? We don't need to fear death. Jesus already conquered it. Paul said to die is gain not rapture no pain.
@@jmbbk4737 Scofield Bible was what i was told was good , later on you realize that the Scofield Bible may not be as good as you would want as it has so many notes at the bottom of each page and that bends your thinking.
I wish we had teachers like you here in our churches. I call myself an analytical intellectual. That means I crave to learn, and I strive to go into great detail to understand. This is why I look for your videos.
The very best teacher is Jesus himself, as he describes in detail the very last days, as in Matthew 23 and 24. Direct quotes, no teachings can beat that.
If you like to go into great details and have a craving to learn, you might like to listen to Pastor Andy Wood's videos on TH-cam or go on the Sugar Land Bible Church site. God bless you.
Wonderful, wonderful! Sooo grateful for your teaching as well as others such as Robert Breaker and Brenda Weltner in these end times. Lord help me to do exactly as my Father tells me and complete the mission You have for me.
When my mother died I was in a different country, that day I saw her on my vision and she looks so young and very pretty with sweet smile seeing great joy on her face and felt her departing this world, and as I look up, saw the clouds with golden light ray and opening like a bright door to heaven. Never felt her again after that day. Then saw her on my dream again after 3 years, she has her own store selling something and I gave her some fish I caught. Also, I never met my grandma, not even a picture, but saw her on my dream just knew it was her. She has a mansion on the other life with big gate, and her dog coming towards me and the dog can even fly. Heaven is for real. On this earth I saw on my eyes, another world of the world where we at, but it is another world where people and demond coinhabitant with a lot of sexual activities, sin and people having conversation like us. They are around us but people dont see them. I thoght they are with us, but are not. I also saw Angels and demons war in the sky while lying on the grass at noon day with their horses and swords. The Angels looks in lighter forms and demons have darker forms, their wings are also different from demons. You can I dentify their differences. I have seen Lucifer multiple times on earth, and fallen angels in human form but perfect faces, body, extremely pretty walking around and people dont know them. One of the angel from GOD spoke to me in the body of an old man, I thought he was a homeled but disappear after delivering me a message to pray as JESUS havent heared from me in years during my sinful life and told me to call my mother as she prayed for me to call her. GOD is so real and JESUS also as visited me on my dreams. I felt the joy and live, not happiness from earth.
My husband exactly happened to him he saw Jesus and I said is it calling you he said yes and I said to him you’re going in your own personal rapture praise God that was on 24 February 2020
Doreen I pity you for believing about Rapture. The Rapture doctrine is false. I repeat the rapture doctrine is false. If you believe in the rapture can you explain 1 Thessalonians 4: 16 and 17. For more biblical teachings go to Amazing Facts TV on TH-cam by Doug Batchelor.
Pastor John, I thank Yahusha every day for you. You are a true man after Gods own Heart. 24.) May The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: 25.) May The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26.) May The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Dear Doctor, Thank you for all your Teaching's, I truly love how you explain everything, I leave feeling good and with a peaceful calm. Jesus bless you and all who love HIM.
But you wont be ready to endure to the very end. Read Matt 23 and 24. Cant throw away Jesus' words. He comes with our reward for those that endure. The FEARFUL and unbelieving will have their part in the lake of fire. REV 21:8.
What are you trying to say to me that I will not be able to endure to the end..... Where did that notion even come from after my post to the Dr.? You have no idea of my love and inner strength, it's just great listening to someone who loves Jesus and makes other's happy. Jesus is coming soon to Rapture All his Children and take Us to Paradise away from this Satanic and Demonic Earth. Jesus bless and keep Us till that amazing day when HE comes in the Clouds.🕊
@@ohhbobba3401 not to argue with you but doesn't the bible say He's coming back to live here a 1000 years? So how is He taking you away to heaven when He's descending? Pls expound
You have shown me a different way to 'see' the rapture. It didn't occur to me (until I saw this video) that there might be 2 raptures. I'm going to look up all the scriptures you quoted so I understand well enough to teach others. Thank you.
@IYearn4HisReturn I know. I remember the parable of the brides. But I also know the reason we're still waiting for Jesus is because in His Mercy, God is not willing that any should perish. Considering how close I was to missing eternity because my eyes and ears were closed to the Word makes me shudder. Everytime I feel impatient in my waiting, I think about how close I was to missing Eternity. Because I was a lost sheep that Jesus left the flock to go find in the wilderness, I'm willing to wait as long as it takes for Him to retrieve those who still wander. I know in my heart that time is drawing to a close and that the Rapture is imminent so I'm praying this messages reaches any sleepy Christians, seeker types, wanders, and those who have been deceived by new age occultism or worldly religion.
@IYearn4HisReturn you know you have to remember the story of lot he was an example of a very carnal Christian when he want to tell his family that's Adam was going to get destroyed they laughed at him did not believe him probably because of the way he lived and acted and what did the Angels tell him they said that they had instruction that they could not destroy the cities until lot was out of the city I am not saying that it's okay to live like a carnal Christian but one has two think about that I'm sure it's true it's God's word so it is true
If the Church is raptured then who would be left to be the Saints and the 2 witnesses.... I love Brother John Barnet he is a great teacher, but I do not understand this whole pre-trib rapture... The Bible does not say this, revelation states "the saints and the witnesses make war with the beast and are overcome"... It goes on to say, and they are those who came out of the Great Tribulation: Revelation 7:14, KJV: "And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." Revelation 13:7-8: 7Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 8And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast-all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain.… Clearly folk are going through the Tribulation, maybe people are scared at the thought of having to go through such horror, or confusing God's period of Wrath, with that of the Great Tribulation... But we cannot deny, what the Bible has said in regard to Saints making war with the Beast being overcome
@@HorticulureLightingGroupEurope the saints in chapter 7 of the book of Revelation are those who are Saved after the Rapture. The Bible tells us that in the tribulation, there is the biggest reaping of souls for the Kingdom of Christ than in all of human history. These are the martyrs who will refuse to denounce Jesus and refuse the mark of the Beast. The Rapture happens BEFORE the tribulation. The Bride of Christ is removed before the start. Proof is in the Word. Revelation chapters 1-3 records the judgement of the churches. Only one group of Believers will be found to be exempt from the time of Jacob's trouble. Jesus tells us there are many in the dead churches that are found innocent, but the Truth is few will be Raptured. Those Believers who are truly set apart from this world and who are focused on watching for the Return of Christ will be caught up in the air. It is the event that triggers the tribulation. What we are living in right now is just the beginning of the time of sorrows.
Thank you for living sacrificially. It is an example to us all. I have never in the 54 years I’ve had the privilege to know Christ, been taught bible prophecy so clearly.
Thank you brother for your time to give us your great teachings i have received BLESSINGS of understanding GOD HOLY WORD .i am excited for my ear,s to be open my eyes to see as you write on your board..i been praying for. Years that GOD would give me understanding,,,its no accident that i found you ,,i cant get enough of your teachings.,ill be waiting for your next nocation..GOD be with us all.thank you..
Just subscribed to your channel and it's a blessing. Too many people are being told lies of mid and post-tribulation rapture or non-rapture martyrdom. We need to promote God's Word about the pre-tribulation rapture now more than ever before!
It doesn't matter what I or anyone else thinks will happen. It only matters what God thinks! But I'm certainly praying for a pre-trib rapture. If I'm wrong, God is still on the throne and right in all He does.
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, modern Dispensational Theology falls apart, and the pretrib removal of the Church falls with it.
If one isn't looking, watching, waiting, asking to be counted "worthy to escape" the things about to take place, with oil filled lamps (Holy Spirit filled), and spotless garments (living in repentance), and you don't BELIEVE in rapturo/harpazo, then simple, you won't go! But endure- wait 'til after tribulation, and be a Tribulation Saint, gathering souls for heaven will be the job, even through hell on Earth.. as angels will be flying above preaching the gospel as well... When He sets His foot atop Mt. Olives, Jerusalem, stops the wars (WWlll), and splits the Earth, then all eyes will see Him. But, I think you may be missing a point, that Jesus, after he came off of the cross, walked out of his tomb, and walked again with his disciples, he ASCENDED back up to the Father- that's right, Father YHWH "raptured", harpazoed, "took up", His only Son. Ascended ascend · travel up. Synonyms: go up · move to a better position in life, Synonyms: move up, rise · come up - just like Enoch walked with God, and then he "was not"! It's a believer's prerogative though, to believe, or not believe. No harm done, hopefully more saved during the Great Tribulation. Just be ready at all times, if you want to be snatched away! For you know Not what time, the Bridegroom cometh!
Ezekiel 13:20-21 (KJV) 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. 21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
All believers will go in the rapture whether they know it or not. John 3:16-18 Romans 4:5-8. Ephesians 1:13-14. Our guarantee of eternal life by faith alone in Jesus alone apart from works. We have to be as righteous as God to go to heaven, and no one is. But when we trust Jesus alone apart from works He imputes His perfect righteousness to us, and will no longer impute sin to our account. John 6:40 and John 6:29 John 3:16-18, Jesus said it, we believe it, and that settles it. Romans 11:6 AMAZING GRACE, JESUS PAID IT ALL AND WE PAID 0. IT IS FREE, or not at all because no sinner can pay his own sin debt.
@PlowsharesintoSwords no it is not ... 1st Corinthians A. B. C. s of salvation Admit. Admit Jesus Christ died on the cross for you & me. Believe :believe Christ died on the cross shed his precious blood so we can be saved rose the third day for you and me. Confession : confess with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is King of Kings Lord of Lords... For with confession salvation is made not of works lest any man shall boast. Amen
We are in a dispensation of grace. Jesus died to pay our sin debt so we could not longer be condemned. John 3:18. Romans 3:26-28. Therefore we conclude a man is justified by faith, apart from the deeds of the Law. Romans 4:5-8. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Ephesians 1:13-14 Our guarantee of eternal life. First John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. First Corinthians 1:21. John 6:40 and John 6:29. John 6:47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me HATH EVERLASTING LIFE. Since it is eternal, it is forever. If you could lose it, that would be an oxymoron. You can not lose eternal life. Romans 11:6 AMAZING GRACE, JESUS PAID IT ALL AND WE PAID 0. IT IS FREE, or not at all, because no man can do one thing to save himself. It is Jesus plus nothing for the free gift of eternal life. You can not earn it. You can not work for it. You can do nothing to save yourself. We have to be as righteous as God to go to heaven, and no one is. Romans 3:10. But God gives us His righteousness when we believe Romans 4:6, apart from works.
Matthew 7:21-23 They call him Lord, and do many wonderful works, but never did the will of His Father in heaven. John 6:40 and John 6:29. They trusted in their works, and not what Jesus did for us. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. If good works could save us, then Jesus died in vain. Galatians 2:21 Romans 3:26-28. Romans 4:5 and John 6:47 is true because Jesus said so. Unbelievers trust in their works, keeping the law and doing good works. Believers have trusted in Jesus alone apart from works. Romans 4:5. Faith alone. Romans 11:6. First John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. If once saved always saved is not true, then you are calling God a liar. It is His word. John 3:18. John 6:40 and John 6:29. John 10:28-29. The GIFT of God is eternal life, not a reward for good behavior. Salvation by works never works. Only by grace apart from works. Romans 11:6.
Christians that don’t believe in rapture are the ones prepared to endure until the end even unto death. They are willing to be tortured, killed, throwing in jail and persecuted for Christ. They know those who lose their life will save their life’s, but those who want to save their life’s will only lose their life’s. So ask yourself a question what if it’s true and the rapture is After the Great Tribulation like the Bible say will you be willing to endure to the end. Will you be ready to be tortured, killed, throwing in jail and persecuted for Christ like so many of our brother and sister in Christ that a rapture has not saved them.
When darkness falls--the power grids, the Internet, and Cell servic fail--light a candle and read the Lord's Prayer and Psalms 23 out loud. Do this frequently. As in the days of the Exodus so it is in our time.
Im a Pre-Triber for sure.. the lord said he will keep us OUT of the time of testing/ his wrath/ temtation ... For the LORD himself will decend from heaven with the voice of the ark angel and the trumpet of God, qnd the dead in christ shall rise 1st then we which are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air and so we will forever be with the Lord, where for comfort each other with these words.... then we come back with jesus at the 2nd coming and fightthe final fight with jesus as his army! Isn't that awesome!! . father please tell Jesus to come quickly in Jesus name amen!🔥👑🙌🙌🙏💜
We will ALL have to go through the tribulation, ALL of us. We are not appointed to wrath means that God will not unleash His wrath on Christians in the last days. We will be protected, but we will still have to go through the tribulation.
Fortunately for believers in Jesus, belief in the rapture is not a prerequisite to salvation. There is only one and it is this... "Believe in the One whom He (God) has sent." Jesus said to watch for Him so we are not caught unaware as He comes like a thief in the night. To those not watching for Him, I can only say, they'll just have to be surprised.
But those who don’t believe Jesus’s words telling us He will keep us from the wrath that is to come sure are filled with hatred, spite, arrogance and everything else that is an antithesis to Jesus Christ, I have to wonder about their faith. And in this comments section there’s an overabundance of them.
@@mynamedoesntmatter8652 There are many who profess being a Christian simply because they 'know' who God is. Sadly, they have not accepted who Jesus, the Son, is. Only He can know the heart.
Dr. Barnett, I love the way you break things down in your teachings, but in the comments sections in your teachings, I have to say that I don’t believe I’ve ever seen such a diverse bunch of confused people. Someone who doesn’t know anything might think some of these people argue against the Bible as if they were stellar scholars among seminary theologians. I, however, know that they definitely are not. I can only pray that these people don’t influence weaker, new to faith believers. Wolves among the sheep, Lord, be with your people and shine Your Light on the narrow path for those who are seeking You. I’ll see you in the air, unless we get that “individual and personal” rapture transport, and not the train, for which all who believe in Him have our tickets. Maybe you don’t read these comments - I wouldn’t blame you, Dr. Barnett. God bless!
The thing that makes me wonder about the rapture is we are told that when Jesus returns, every eye will see him. The way it's taught now, it sounds like everyone not raptured will just be stunned, wondering where all the people went, but as Revelation 1:7 says, every eye will see. I can't seem to figure this out. Can someone please explain this to me?
You must learn how to rightly divide the word of Truth as Paul said if you don't understand dispensationalism you will never understand the Bible and so you must know when it says every I will see him it's talking about his second coming not the rapture
@@Gigi-uy3wt its perfectly biblical. You want to put church in the judgement you do wrong. Watch andy woods on rapture topic he has it best explained. And stop going after doctrines of devils. We are not apointed to wrath of God.
No. That's Tribulation Saints. The ones under the alter. An angel will gather the ungodly for destruction. But in The Rapture, Jesus comes for us and meets us in the air. Two different situations. It's very clear.
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, modern Dispensational Theology falls apart, and the pretrib removal of the Church falls with it.
You are deceiving many people. Read 2nd Thessalonians 2. He is not coming until there be a falling away first and the son of perdition is revealed. Furthermore when Jesus says well be caught up in the clouds in the air. Clouds mean "people" and air in the Greek means breath of life not atmosphere. The subject is where the dead are, not in the ground but we are with him when we die. When Satan comes He will deceive you saying I'm Jesus coming to rapture you away.
I don't get it, does that mean Jesus comes back twice? What about the Mount of Oilves landing, by Jesus, and the Saints, and the Earthquake? Then the dead rise up. And what about when Christ goes against the Anti Christ, in Israel? He if he just has us disappear, I could get that, but 2 returns, just cant be correct. I preparing the way Christ told me in Matt 23 and 24. I plan to endure to the very end. Jesus will bring my reward, if I endure. I am preparing in the way Jesus describes in Matt 23 and 24. I must believe Jesus. (I have red letter Bible. Jesus's words are in red.)
First the rapture/ressurectio/changing in twinkle of eye/in the clouds. Then the tribulation starts with antichrist revealed. Then judgements . then the second coming to defeat the antichrist. Thats how i see it. The church will not see antichrist. We look forward to Christ himelf gathering us to him in the clouds.
I like the way you teach. It's straight forward and easy to understand. About the rapture/harpodzo... I believed in it for a long time. Then, later in life, I joined a good church... but I was introduced to some teachings I never heard of before- that clashed with things I believed all my life. They said there was no pre- trib rapture- that we had to go through the tribulation period and pretty much die as martyrs. I asked why would the Lord let us experience his wrath- it would defeat the very purpose he saved us- to escape his wrath, receive forgiveness, etc. It got quiet when I asked that question. But they made me feel like I was believing the wrong thing and couldn't see the biblical truth. I said "The truth I see in the bible is simple and clear, but you guys are complicating it all with how you try to defend your position." I'll take simple, powerful biblical truth over anyone who is tying themselves into pretzels to prove an off beat position they want to defend.
Christians who don't believe in the rapture it doesn't matter..they will be taking because they are members of his body..for we ALL must appear before the judgment seat of christ.2corintians 5:10...

It was in 1973 and I was 9 years old. It happened on a Sunday I can remember well. Daddy and Mum and I were in the living room early in the afternoon and I was reading a Kid's Bible, even not knowing that it was one... it was a gift. I liked to see that drawings in color showing the Lion playing with a child , the text was talking about Jesus who would one day reign on Earth for 1000 years and... said also... Jesus would come back on a time nobody expects. I will make it short here, since the Spirit of God started working in me about getting "converted" to Jesus. I was seating on the floor thinking about Jesus coming back and all of a sudden... I was put on the spot in a fire bubble, it feels like that... and an indiscribable joy invaded me. I felt the heat inside of me and a joy... amazing. I wept and wept in that Joy and heat. Than something incredible happened... A voice came from the "ceiling" in front of me and slightly at the left side. This "voice" said... "Boy, you will see me coming back, you will be part of it". I jumped and started running through the house , shouting ..." I wanna serve God, I wanna serve God".... I was energized. My father asked me: "Son what is happening with you???" My answer was... Father... "I wanna serve God, I wanna serve God". My mum was just still. No idea if she understood but my Daddy said: Son, what has happened to you today, I still didn't experienced at 36 years old." Since he said that I could calculate how old I was at that time. This personal experience has accompanied me for all these years and now... it is getting serious.... HE is coming back soon ... and that boy... today 56y....will see HIM coming.
Thank you for sharing your story. ✝️❤️
I have felt that joy as well, and felt what it would be like to no longer have a sin nature but for me it happened while talking to my aunt about Christ when I was first saved and a couple other times in dreams. I have also had a feeling or intuition that I would see the Return of a Christ in the Rapture since I was young, probably third grade or so. I’ve mentioned on several occasions to both friends and family that I believed I would see the Rapture and have gone on Rapture watch every Rosh Hashanah for several years now lol. That said, looking at the downfall of the United States there can be no doubt it is imminent. Thanks for sharing and I pray many others get a good hard kick from the Holy Spirit that the time is now to repent and believe in Jesus and be saved.
Think you were slipped some acid dude ..... there are worse trips !
I know he is coming soon and I'm so grateful to have been saved. Since I've died twice, once in sin and then since salvation and they were opposite experiences. I have no doubt that I was being reserved for judgment in 2001. Then in 2020, I died again and was met by Jesus who restored me then to my body but once you are truly saved, just the contemplation of Jesus is joyful for me. I believe it is so I can see him come back but also to spread the gospel which we are all admonished to do.
I hope you're telling your testimony every chance you get so you have those opportunities to share the love of Jesus 🙂
Amen amazing!
I’m so thankful the Lord led me to your channel. I treasure teachers like you, who actually teach Bible prophecy, and take the Bible as the literal, authoritative word of God. “For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.” 1 Corinthians 14: 33

That is idolatry. Dr Barnett is not infallible and his teaching of a pre-tribulation rapture is not found in the Bible and - being kind here - he just about lies about it.
I don't think your view on the rapture (pre trib, mid trib, post trib) plays a role in whether your saved or not. The only thing that matters is whether or not your sins have been covered by the Lamb of God and if you have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit which can only come through faith in Jesus Christ.
@IYearn4HisReturn Christian education regarding many topics is very poor! Has been poor for centuries! Many generations had been told since Christ ascension that his return was eminent! This view is simply not accurate not has it ever been even though it waś thought to be! But we know according to Paul in second Thessalonians that the anti Christ and his reign signals Christ return! We do know that the entire body of Christ which includes old testament believers elected by God will be raptured and though there was an old testament and now a new i one Christ has one body, not two! Lastly amillenials do believe in the rapture but they do not think there is a literal 1000 year earthly reign because the moment Christ entered heaven from his crucifixion his reign began and he reigns now. If you are elected, you will be raptured or resurrected. Christ never stated that his return would be secret!
Christ has one body elected to him by the Father through two testaments! There will be one resurrection for those who will live eternally with the Lord and one for those who will not! The Father elects, the Son sacrificed, the Holy spirit seals! This topic is not easy to grasp even for the best of minds. If you are elected in Christ, you will raised incorruptible! Pure and simple!

@@bechet12 bro what bible version do you read because I'm pretty sure it states that his millennial reign is after the 7 year tribulation and his return.
The rapture of the church is mandatory for all believers, dead or alive. Those who are not expecting it will just be pleasantly surprised.
But what about those expecting the rapture, only to be tempted by the mark of the Beast.
I would rather be pleasantly surprised, than freaked and give in to the mark if the beast. There will be a lot of those that will not be ready to have our heads cut off at the synagogue, like Jesus says in Matt 23 and 24.
I would much rather believe I MUST endure to the end, as Christ instructs us. I can't bare not being ready for hell on earth, (but not wrath), and be ready to stand up, for Christ, and allow my death, for the love of Christ.
I can only hope everyone will be ready to give their life for Christ, as he gave his for us. Even his beloved disciples each were killed for the love of Christ. I never forget that. Nor do I forget the mark of the beast. I am ready beyond the rapture, and this preps me much better. May the Lord's will be done.

There is NO GREATER DECISION than accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior! I am so happy in knowing that the Son of God lives within my heart! Thank you Jesus, for being my Lord and Savior and for the forgiveness of all my sin, by your precious blood. I love you and serve you with all my heart.
It just pays to be living for the Lord so that whenever it is, we’re looking for Him so we’re not ashamed at His coming. 🙂
It’s becoming so sad that as the body of Christ, we argue points that NONE of us know 100 percent. I am guilty of this myself, end it is so dishonoring to our Lord and Savior. Our stupid pride starts seeping out as we try to argue points that we ourselves are interpreting differently. I’m not talking about fundamental gospel stuff. I’m talking about stuff like when the rapture will occur. I’ll tell you who does know. The creator of all things, and we should leave it to him. We as the church should follow his commandments, being faithful as we continue to run this race. And one more thing. When we start calling each other ignorant because of different views on these smaller things, we are sitting against God. We are commanded to love one another. When we admonish, we do it with love. We need to remain in him so he remains in us. We need to humble ourselves and love one another. And faithfully follow his commandments.
Amen brother fully agree...I'm guilty of that as well
I completely agree myself. If God wants us to suffer a little bit to bring as many souls as we can with us to eternity with him, then so be it. If we get out of here early, that's great too! No need to create division, unforgiveness, and anger in our hearts towards our brothers over it...
@@Ddcfus4gsSuffering for Christ could definitely have to do with helping others find Christ. I think it’s largely because he suffered. We will be marked by the world because Christ set us apart. They will see him in us and will hate us. But, think of our reward in heaven. Reread what we get to look forward to. Praise Jesus and the Father. Blessings to you my friend and family in Christ
Though we don't know with 100% precision, it is important to challenge our understanding only to sharpen and refine! Why, because there are false views regarding future eschatological events. The language in scripture is more complex than most of us understand regarding end of days prophecies! There is much doctrinal garbage in the faith on many issues.
I agree that genuine Christians should be able to treat each other with patience, courtesy and love when we discuss doctrinal matters. The MOST important aspect of such discussions is the REASONING of someone else who holds a different viewpoint.
I don't go so far as to say eschatology shouldn't be discussed AT ALL among Christians, since it is in the Bible for our knowledge and benefit. It seems to me that the main differences and problems arise due to interpretive methods and their application to various passages.
I'm curious about something, which perhaps any Pre-tribbers reading this comment can answer for me. (I'm a Post-tribber myself.) My question also arises out of social media discussions of this topic that I've observed going on in a Facebook group I belong to.
My question is this: When did the term "rapture" begin to be used only in reference to the Pre-trib view? I'm a Post-tribber and have always referred to the "Post-Trib Rapture." The term "rapture," while etymologically derivative from the Latin word 'rapio' which in turn is used to translate the Greek 'harpazo,' a form of which-harpagēsometha-is used in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 and is typically rendered there as "will/shall be caught up/away" in English, stems directly from the scriptures and refers back to this 1 Thessalonians passage. So the English language theological term "Rapture" is derived in the way described from the 'catching up' when the Lord returns, and is merely a term of convenience for referring to this event.
In that respect, I don't understand why the question of the REALITY of this event should get mixed up with the correctness or incorrectness of the Pre-trib TIMING of it; what I've seen people debating-rather like the implication in title of this video ("…Christians who don't believe in the Rapture?")-is that either Christians think the Rapture is Pre-trib OR THEY THINK IT DOESN'T EXIST AS ALL. I realize this is a development in the usage of terminology, but I've always heard the same event, the Rapture, referred to in terms of belief in its TIMING, and not in terms of belief in its REALITY. I can understand how some people think a Pre-trib timing of a 'secret' Rapture is not biblical, but I don't see why those people are assumed or reported to believe in NO RAPTURE/'CATCHING UP' AT ALL-? I certainly believe in a (Post-Trib) Rapture myself, and so do all the other Post-tribs I know.
I BELIEVE ITS COMING SOONER THAN EXPECTED.
Be quick Lord

I truly feel in my Being that Our Messiah is coming for his Children very soon..... Keep Looking Up.👑
We should all do the will of our Heavenly Father. Do not fear these communists here, tell them about Jesus and what He is all about.
Yes, year 2021!!!
He will come at the appointed time.
If you are born again, then the Lord is with you, and you are with the Lord. Therefore, no matter how the Lord is to play His cards in reference to “rapture” He will come for you when He plans to. No matter what you know or don’t know about tribulation time or rapture
MARANATHA! I'm waiting on you Yahshua can't wait for you to get me!❤️
I’m worried the false Messiah they call Jesus whom they claim did away with Gods Law will appear first and fool many. We are waiting on the true Messiah Yahshua who upheld and taught Gods Law.

Zechariah 12:10
Who is the He that they pierced?
@@bonsaipiper3773
Yahshua is who they pierced. Our Messiah’s name is Yahshua. Some spell it Yeshua. Our Messiah taught the Law of God. The name Yahshua means salvation. Catholicism came along and twisted the doctrine. They created a false Messiah named Jesus and claim he did away with Gods Law. Remember the antichrist is literally called the Lawless one. Main stream Christianity all over the world teaches the Law is done away with. When the antichrist comes he will claim to be Jesus and he will teach what they already believe. That’s why Christians everywhere will be fooled.
@@fivebooks8498 You do know He is known by many names, right? You can call him whatever you wish, but if a person believes in their heart He is the King of Kings and died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins and rose again on the third day to life so that we may have eternal life how is calling Him by a different name going to keep you from being with Him in Paradise?
@Tim C
Can't. Sacrifices can only be done at the temple. There is currently no temple. The apostles did continue doing Sacrifices throughout the book of Acts until the temple was destroyed in 70AD. The writer of Hebrews wrote about sacrifices happening at that time also. Were they wrong to do so?
Can't wait This is a blessed Hope, see Jesus face to face 🙌 🙏 Amen!
The Galilean wedding feast lasted 7 days, not 3 1/2. The documentary *"Before The Wrath"* is a must-see for every believer!
Amazing documentary. Reveals so much Jesus said that has made so many wonder, like why doesn't the son know the time but only the Father? It's a truly awesome documentary.
@@RU2AIM For those who are "Awake" and keep watch.
My father was waiting for Jesus Christ to return, he wants to see that moment when Jesus appears in the cloud, how wonderful that would be. My father though he would lived to see, but my father passed on 2011, but I have the hope that my father is with our Lord the moment that he took his last breath here . God bless you all.
Your father WILL get to participate in the rapture - the dead in Christ will rise before the living are changed/taken (:
1 Thess 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
I prayed very hard for chuck Missler to stay alive so he could see that event that he was so very passionate about.
when he passed away I was very disappointed that my prayers were not answered. driving on the freeway , I feel that the Holy Spirit gave me a comforting message. Chuck didn't miss the rapture blessing, he will greet to experience MORE of the rapture / catching away as HE will get to experience death, being absent from the body and present with the Lord, returning in the spirit with Jesus Christ for the bride. resurrection, then be first to be caught away. what I looked at as a failed prayer was Actually Jesus Christ blessing the man man in a way I could not imagine!!
How could one not believe in rapture when Bible says "dead in Christ will rise first then those who are alive and remain will be CAUGHT UP to me Jesus IN THE AIR"
This is the rapture. The disappearance of millions of people will cause mass panic and collapse of economy. Antichrist will step on to the scene with ALL the answers and will bring peace to the world (at first) then he will show his true nature a year and a half later and turn on Israel
@@knarftrakiul3881 you say that eith zero biblical references to back it up.
The dead in christ will rise first(1 thessalonians 4:17), when do the dead in christ rise? Revelations 20:4-5 is when jesus raises the dead in christ, he also says "this is the first ressurection". How can the rapture happen before the dead in christ are risen? And if there is a rapture before the dead in christ are risen the 1 corinthians 15:52 is false because we will then preceede those who have fallen asleep in christ and we would go before the dead in christ. If the dead in christ are risen before the end of the tribulation in revelations 20:4-5 then that raising of the dead in christ is not the first ressurection and you make the words of christ written through John a liar!
How do you explain these things?
Even the governments have a plan for that day called project blue bean and there going to use the whole ufo stuff.
That does adequately define the doctrine or the definition of the “rapture”. And that is why there is so much controversy over the subject. Listening to idiots like this one will only confuse you.
@scottwall8419
We believers are alive when we die and so are the dead unbelievers. The dead in Christ are taken at the instant they die to Abraham's bosom ( in the presence of Abraham where he is currently/alive )
1rst Thessonalonians 4 is our joining ALL the dead believers in Christ are going to receive our
' glorified bodies',
when we are caught up to meet Jesus ' in the AIR /CLOUDS but we that are alive and remain until
' that day' will not precede those who died before
' that Day' ( actual rapture day) .
This is what we are waiting on. The day that Jesus comes for His church. This is the day that the
' age of the Gentiles '
fulfillment which ends . A new prophectic age begins which will be a time period of exactly seven (7) years which is when anti-christ will be revealed. The seven years is the Great Tribulations period.
We believers that are removed will be
' in heaven ' during the 7yrs Tribulations on Earth.
This is known as the marriage supper of the Lamb. We (the raptured believers combined with all those believers that ever lived and died once before the event of the rapture )
Will be reunited with our resurrected bodies on the day of the rapture.
After the 7-year tribulations have expired , then we will return with Jesus physically on The day He decends from heaven just like He ascended after his crucifixion and earthly resurrection over 2000 yrs ago.
Remember that we will be returned ' physically ' and known as we are known. 😊
That is consoling knowing Jesus himself will be there to greet me. Thank you for The Word, pastor.
I used to preach in prisons and jails. I learned to preach Jesus and focus on salvation in these settings. Several times I spoke on the rapture. The inmates started arguing, fighting, and a riot would ensue. Guards would have to lock down and whisk me out of area. Definitely not a doctrine to lead with the lost, my opinion. Unless there is curiosity. I believe now that the teaching is best for the mature in Christ.
Oh that's absolutely true I 100% believe that the word of God teaches the pre-trib rapture it's found throughout the Bible old and New testament Jesus teachers in the upper room to the disciples before his crucifixionl l in the book of John chapter 14 he speaks of going away and parallels it to a Jewish Galilean wedding which the disciples were very familiar with and knew what he was talking about so it seems like demonic entities are trying pretty hard 2 have a lot of arguing and other evil actually name-calling within the body of Christ concerning the rapture of the church a lot of darkness is being shown concerning this topic it definitely is not being considered as the blessed hope which the holy spirit of God through the apostle Paul speaks of in the book of Titus ya so if the church is going to go through the tribulation why would the holy spirit of God say to comfort one another with these words of the blessed hope I really don't think Jesus wants to beat up his bride there will be a huge amount of people that will come to salvation in the tribulation. The saints that will be beheaded that will die for Christ in the tribulation butt we are in the church age right now and the bride of Christ

I had to learn it the hard way. I remember that I was really starting to comprehend the doctrine. I was so excited to enlighten the masses. When my audiences did not like what I said they let me know it. Ha! But that is how He gives us wisdom.

Bless you to Nancy and peace. Ha! An inmate rebuked you! It will not change until the wedding and we acquire our new threads!
Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
And have made us kings and priests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.”
Then chapter 6
Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” And I looked, and behold, a white horse.
Good point brother
The clearest teaching on the rapture I've ever heard! Love your teaching!
Thank you for teaching sound precepts and principles of God's word. I studied the bible for many years and your teachings affirm and confirm what God's Holy Spirit has taught me and you really help so many in teaching sound doctrine. Thank you and may our Lord God and Savior continue to bless you.
I'm waiting patiently as I can but still occupying my time until that great and glorious day of the Rapture. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus come quickly
It's the day of Christ or the Day of the Lord, not the day of the Rapture. The Rapture isn't our hope. Sorry to be so blunt. Our hope is supposed to be in Christ, not the Rapture. Our hope is not in getting beamed out. Our hope is in the faith and forgiveness of Christ.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord whether you pass away, as billions of Christians already have and will, or whether you are alive and remain when Christ returns which will end your life as well. You will not be alive. For those people Christ will take them and that will end their life on Planet Earth. Why?
Because everyone is appointed once to die and then the judgment. Although, as far the Bible tells us, there have only been two people who have not died, Enoch and Elijah. And maybe those two are the Two Witnesses. No one knows.
@@robertbrown7470 I guess that's your opinion but I'm saying that Jesus and the rapture are both our blessed hope.
@@jamespena4721 re-read what you just said. Is the rapture the 4th person of the Trinity?
@@jamespena4721 It’s not “their opinion”. You’d rather escape persecution and believe this false rapture lie than to stand tall and be persecuted in the name of the Lord. I get we’re not all on the same walks with Christ, but quit looking forward to escaping the same trials & tribulations Jesus’s disciples and other Early Christians had to go through. The rapture is THE beast mentality. Satan is going to fake Christ’s coming before He actually does come, because God is boundless to time, so it technically has happened, which gives Satan leverage to copy it, because he can ONLY do that. He can’t give life, only God can.
RAPTURE IS NOT MENTIONED ANYWHERE IN GOD'S WORD.
II Thesalonians 2:1-4, WE DO NOT GATHER BACK TO CHRIST UNTIL AFTER THE SON OF PERDITION, WHO IS SATAN, STANDS IN THE HOLY PLACE CLAIMING TO BE GOD, CHRIST. RAPTURE BELIEVERS ALREADY HAVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST IN THEIR FOREHEADS AND WILL EAGERLY BE WORSHIPPING SATAN WHEN HE ARRIVES CLAIMING TO BE CHRIST BEFORE CHRIST RETURNS.

@@CognitiveChaosCreations No pictures of Jesus. Yes we meet on Sunday...and Wednesday..and Friday...and Saturday.

I see what you're getting at, and frankly, you're mocking the Body of Christ, and you need to repent!
They are wrong about the Rapture. They also worship on Sunday the true day of worship is Saturday Sabbath. Exodus 20: 8 -11.
@@donnaroberts4513 No one ever said Sunday is the Sabbath. We're well aware that Saturday is the Sabbath. We meet on Sunday as it's the Lord's day, and the early church also met on Sunday, as people who weren't followers of the Way and other Jews were at synagogue on Saturday. Go and learn this: "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath."
@@donnaroberts4513 There's also quite a bit of debate about the Rapture, so please tell me: What aspect of the rapture are you talking about to start with; and what do you say Calvary has "wrong" about it?

What happens to Rapturist when they here on earth while the things are going down. When Jesus comes as he told the disciples when he left the first time, He will come the same way for the 2nd time. Don't be delusional of a rapture. We will all go through the bad times together so prepare yourself spiritually.

Thank you for this message its so reassuring that Christ is coming for us either singularly or in masse what a wonderful comforting Lord we serve
It's so rare these days to find a preacher/teacher speaking out against SIN! Jesus Christ said REPENT. This should be included in every sermon in addition to what Jesus did on the Cross.
This is the finnest teaching soaking it all UP🌿💙 Amen
In June of 2020 I had a Rapture dream. I was laying in bed half asleep when I saw a bright light and and a loud thunder clap, I got up and looked out side there was not a cloud in the sky. I went back to bed and heard the holy spirit say "your not ready" that's when I started to read the Bible and pray at least 2 hrs a day. About a month later I had another dream/ vision, in which I was stuck in traffic, and got out of my vehicle to see chaos all around me. Then suddenly I was standing at the end of a church an all white tuxedo and the people in the pues were also all in white. Everyone very young like in there teens or twenties. Men were wearing all white tuxedos and women wearing long white gowns with habits on their heads and we're singing praises to the Lord for a hymnal, and at the end of the all white cathedral was Jesus floating in mid air with a bright light behind him where the alter should be, and his arms were extended as if to hug me and he had a big smile. I was so shocked I woke up from my vision/ dream asking my self what the heck just happened? I said to my self, WOW! You were Raptured! It was amazing even if it was just for a moment. I asked for a rapture dream and that's exactly what I got. Glory to God! I've been studying and reading the word and praying ever since.
I do love your preaching!!!
The pastor speaks true! I've died twice. Once in my sin and I had clearly been reserved for judgment but the last time I died, I think I was okay because Jesus met me, stopped me really, from going beyond the house. I could see through the house when I was in my next form but didn't realize I was dead until Jesus reached passed me and so I looked to where he was stretching his hand to and thats when I saw my lifeless body and I had the strangest sensation for just a second because Jesus had reached into my chest and wrapped his hand around my heart and restored its beat, saying, "No, not yet." Maybe my nest isn't ready yet? I'd go tomorrow if I could but I also kind of want to be here for the mass rapture. As He wills! God bless and Godspeed! Marantha, Abba Father!!
So good to know, no worries God has our back he is in charge. All in HIS good time!
What wonderful teaching you bring!! Praising God and thanking Him for His Devine word
if people keep rubbishing other peoples beliefs then its a very unchristian view to have and the evangelicals are the most guilty party in that regard its an insult to the billions of good people of all faiths and none who have lived and died to say that they wont be saved thats not the kind of behaviour that should be practised
We're still going in rapture whether we believe in it or not. We're supposed to have faith in Jesus not an event .
Thank you for this teaching. I’m 60. years old studied under a lot of the greats especially Calvary in Costa Mesa. The 2 angels speaking to the disciples as Jesus just rose and we would only loving eyes would see him is the first time I’ve heard this insight. So simple and easy. God Bless you. 🙏💕✝️🕊
The Lord has blessed me with many rapture and end times visions, as well as thousands of other believers around the world! (Acts 2:17-18)
Wow excellent! A prepared place just for you! Any day now, can't wait. Thank you Jesus.
May GOD bless you pastor! I love you! Keep up the great work and words of wisdom! Thank you!
The whole rapture thing feels like a distraction from the true goal...Its saving souls for Gods Kingdom...We have to focus on Gods kingdom and the Gospel... That is more important than the Rapture...We have to finish the work... The apostles before us died for us to finish the race and continue the work they did not finish for Christ...A rapture and looking for one seems like a way out of what is important...Whether I die preaching the Gospel or live to see a rapture it does not matter to me...I win either way because I get to see the Lord Jesus Christ and sit before him and enjoy his presents for the rest of my life...And appreciate what he has done for me on earth and truly enjoy what I will experience in heaven...We need to look towards saving souls for his kingdom and honoring him here on earth...God bless you all and may Christ be with you all.....
Well said, brother 🙏
It’s not either or it’s both. We work in the Father’s vineyard while eagerly expecting His return: consecration purification sanctification by the Holy Spirit and our yieldedness to the Lord. Remember Jesus words He is the vine and we are the branches. When we remain in him we will produce His fruit. Blessings and peace.

Another bingo. Has anybody checked where this Scofield Bible comes from anyway? He was just a man with an idea. God wrote the Bible way before he came along. Some would say this is a non-essential issue but if I don't believe it then am I subtracting it from Scripture or did Scofield add it to Scripture? We don't need to fear death. Jesus already conquered it. Paul said to die is gain not rapture no pain.

If you're a true believer in Jesus Christ whether you believe in the rapture or not you're going up sorry that's the way it is 😯
You nailed it brother
I wish we had teachers like you here in our churches. I call myself an analytical intellectual. That means I crave to learn, and I strive to go into great detail to understand. This is why I look for your videos.
The very best teacher is Jesus himself, as he describes in detail the very last days, as in Matthew 23 and 24. Direct quotes, no teachings can beat that.
If you like to go into great details and have a craving to learn, you might like to listen to Pastor Andy Wood's videos on TH-cam or go on the Sugar Land Bible Church site. God bless you.
It's so important to have the WHY understood for me too.... otherwise it doesn't connect amd its easier to disregard and sin.... for me anyways.
They will get a happy surprise flight to meet Jesus in the air and be with Him forever!
Wonderful, wonderful! Sooo grateful for your teaching as well as others such as Robert Breaker and Brenda Weltner in these end times. Lord help me to do exactly as my Father tells me and complete the mission You have for me.
Look up Dr Awe also
When my mother died I was in a different country, that day I saw her on my vision and she looks so young and very pretty with sweet smile seeing great joy on her face and felt her departing this world, and as I look up, saw the clouds with golden light ray and opening like a bright door to heaven. Never felt her again after that day. Then saw her on my dream again after 3 years, she has her own store selling something and I gave her some fish I caught. Also, I never met my grandma, not even a picture, but saw her on my dream just knew it was her. She has a mansion on the other life with big gate, and her dog coming towards me and the dog can even fly. Heaven is for real. On this earth I saw on my eyes, another world of the world where we at, but it is another world where people and demond coinhabitant with a lot of sexual activities, sin and people having conversation like us. They are around us but people dont see them. I thoght they are with us, but are not. I also saw Angels and demons war in the sky while lying on the grass at noon day with their horses and swords. The Angels looks in lighter forms and demons have darker forms, their wings are also different from demons. You can I dentify their differences. I have seen Lucifer multiple times on earth, and fallen angels in human form but perfect faces, body, extremely pretty walking around and people dont know them. One of the angel from GOD spoke to me in the body of an old man, I thought he was a homeled but disappear after delivering me a message to pray as JESUS havent heared from me in years during my sinful life and told me to call my mother as she prayed for me to call her. GOD is so real and JESUS also as visited me on my dreams. I felt the joy and live, not happiness from earth.
My husband exactly happened to him he saw Jesus and I said is it calling you he said yes and I said to him you’re going in your own personal rapture praise God that was on 24 February 2020
Doreen I pity you for believing about Rapture. The Rapture doctrine is false. I repeat the rapture doctrine is false. If you believe in the rapture can you explain 1 Thessalonians 4: 16 and 17. For more biblical teachings go to Amazing Facts TV on TH-cam by Doug Batchelor.

Dear Doctor, Thank you for all your Teaching's, I truly love how you explain everything, I leave feeling good and with a peaceful calm. Jesus bless you and all who love HIM.
But you wont be ready to endure to the very end. Read Matt 23 and 24. Cant throw away Jesus' words.
He comes with our reward for those that endure.

You have no idea of my love and inner strength, it's just great listening to someone who loves Jesus and makes other's happy. Jesus is coming soon to Rapture All his Children and take Us to Paradise away from this Satanic and Demonic Earth. Jesus bless and keep Us till that amazing day when HE comes in the Clouds.🕊

You have shown me a different way to 'see' the rapture. It didn't occur to me (until I saw this video) that there might be 2 raptures. I'm going to look up all the scriptures you quoted so I understand well enough to teach others. Thank you.
And I want you to know that our father in Heaven is very happy with us for trying to realize His Holy Word 😊
Grateful for this message. Praying it opens some eyes and ears so no one is left behind to endure God's full wrath.
@IYearn4HisReturn I know. I remember the parable of the brides.
But I also know the reason we're still waiting for Jesus is because in His Mercy, God is not willing that any should perish.
Considering how close I was to missing eternity because my eyes and ears were closed to the Word makes me shudder. Everytime I feel impatient in my waiting, I think about how close I was to missing Eternity. Because I was a lost sheep that Jesus left the flock to go find in the wilderness, I'm willing to wait as long as it takes for Him to retrieve those who still wander. I know in my heart that time is drawing to a close and that the Rapture is imminent so I'm praying this messages reaches any sleepy Christians, seeker types, wanders, and those who have been deceived by new age occultism or worldly religion.
@IYearn4HisReturn you know you have to remember the story of lot he was an example of a very carnal Christian when he want to tell his family that's Adam was going to get destroyed they laughed at him did not believe him probably because of the way he lived and acted and what did the Angels tell him they said that they had instruction that they could not destroy the cities until lot was out of the city I am not saying that it's okay to live like a carnal Christian but one has two think about that I'm sure it's true it's God's word so it is true
@IYearn4HisReturn *MOST* NOT ALL SO STOP IT
If the Church is raptured then who would be left to be the Saints and the 2 witnesses.... I love Brother John Barnet he is a great teacher, but I do not understand this whole pre-trib rapture... The Bible does not say this, revelation states "the saints and the witnesses make war with the beast and are overcome"...
It goes on to say, and they are those who came out of the Great Tribulation:
Revelation 7:14, KJV: "And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
Revelation 13:7-8:
7Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 8And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast-all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain.…
Clearly folk are going through the Tribulation, maybe people are scared at the thought of having to go through such horror, or confusing God's period of Wrath, with that of the Great Tribulation... But we cannot deny, what the Bible has said in regard to Saints making war with the Beast being overcome
@@HorticulureLightingGroupEurope the saints in chapter 7 of the book of Revelation are those who are Saved after the Rapture. The Bible tells us that in the tribulation, there is the biggest reaping of souls for the Kingdom of Christ than in all of human history. These are the martyrs who will refuse to denounce Jesus and refuse the mark of the Beast.
The Rapture happens BEFORE the tribulation. The Bride of Christ is removed before the start. Proof is in the Word. Revelation chapters 1-3 records the judgement of the churches. Only one group of Believers will be found to be exempt from the time of Jacob's trouble. Jesus tells us there are many in the dead churches that are found innocent, but the Truth is few will be Raptured. Those Believers who are truly set apart from this world and who are focused on watching for the Return of Christ will be caught up in the air. It is the event that triggers the tribulation. What we are living in right now is just the beginning of the time of sorrows.
Thank you for living sacrificially. It is an example to us all. I have never in the 54 years I’ve had the privilege to know Christ, been taught bible prophecy so clearly.
Have you read John chapter 1
Thank you again brother John for another great teaching.
Thank you brother for your time to give us your great teachings i have received BLESSINGS of understanding GOD HOLY WORD .i am excited for my ear,s to be open my eyes to see as you write on your board..i been praying for. Years that GOD would give me understanding,,,its no accident that i found you ,,i cant get enough of your teachings.,ill be waiting for your next nocation..GOD be with us all.thank you..
Just subscribed to your channel and it's a blessing. Too many people are being told lies of mid and post-tribulation rapture or non-rapture martyrdom. We need to promote God's Word about the pre-tribulation rapture now more than ever before!
The Apostle Paul wrote in one of his New Testament epistles that we are fully justified by faith in Messiah Jesus. Period. End of discussion.
It doesn't matter what I or anyone else thinks will happen. It only matters what God thinks! But I'm certainly praying for a pre-trib rapture. If I'm wrong, God is still on the throne and right in all He does.
I heard a pastor say once and I still quote it today " praying for pre and preparing for post"😀👍
Hapadzo , the act when one dies leaving our fleshy bodies and being president with the Lord only.
The blood the book the blessed hope - robert breaker...we fly 🕊️
Shane Please explain your reasons for saying this about Robert Breaker
Shane Gullory
Shane..well thats a lot of reasons!! Thank you for your timeI...I will read through the verses.
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, modern Dispensational Theology falls apart, and the pretrib removal of the Church falls with it.
If one isn't looking, watching, waiting, asking to be counted "worthy to escape" the things about to take place, with oil filled lamps (Holy Spirit filled), and spotless garments (living in repentance), and you don't BELIEVE in rapturo/harpazo, then simple, you won't go! But endure- wait 'til after tribulation, and be a Tribulation Saint, gathering souls for heaven will be the job, even through hell on Earth.. as angels will be flying above preaching the gospel as well...
When He sets His foot atop Mt. Olives, Jerusalem, stops the wars (WWlll), and splits the Earth, then all eyes will see Him.
But, I think you may be missing a point, that Jesus, after he came off of the cross, walked out of his tomb, and walked again with his disciples, he ASCENDED back up to the Father- that's right, Father YHWH "raptured", harpazoed, "took up", His only Son.
Ascended ascend · travel up. Synonyms: go up · move to a better position in life, Synonyms: move up, rise · come up
- just like Enoch walked with God, and then he "was not"!
It's a believer's prerogative though, to believe, or not believe. No harm done, hopefully more saved during the Great Tribulation.
Just be ready at all times, if you want to be snatched away!
For you know Not what time, the Bridegroom cometh!
Thank you for your wonderful knowledge & teachings ...Im learning so much from you, Jack Hibbs & Jeff Durbin outside of my church as well🙏💕✝⛪
Hibbs?
Ezekiel 13:20-21 (KJV) 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. 21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Most excellent teachings. Amen ! Maranatha !😇🎺
All believers will go in the rapture whether they know it or not. John 3:16-18 Romans 4:5-8. Ephesians 1:13-14. Our guarantee of eternal life by faith alone in Jesus alone apart from works. We have to be as righteous as God to go to heaven, and no one is. But when we trust Jesus alone apart from works He imputes His perfect righteousness to us, and will no longer impute sin to our account. John 6:40 and John 6:29 John 3:16-18, Jesus said it, we believe it, and that settles it. Romans 11:6 AMAZING GRACE, JESUS PAID IT ALL AND WE PAID 0. IT IS FREE, or not at all because no sinner can pay his own sin debt.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
God bless you
@PlowsharesintoSwords no it is not ... 1st Corinthians
A. B. C. s of salvation
Admit. Admit Jesus Christ died on the cross for you & me.
Believe :believe Christ died on the cross shed his precious blood so we can be saved rose the third day for you and me.
Confession : confess with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is King of Kings Lord of Lords... For with confession salvation is made not of works lest any man shall boast. Amen
We are in a dispensation of grace. Jesus died to pay our sin debt so we could not longer be condemned. John 3:18. Romans 3:26-28. Therefore we conclude a man is justified by faith, apart from the deeds of the Law. Romans 4:5-8. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Ephesians 1:13-14 Our guarantee of eternal life. First John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
First Corinthians 1:21. John 6:40 and John 6:29. John 6:47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me HATH EVERLASTING LIFE. Since it is eternal, it is forever. If you could lose it, that would be an oxymoron. You can not lose eternal life. Romans 11:6 AMAZING GRACE, JESUS PAID IT ALL AND WE PAID 0. IT IS FREE, or not at all, because no man can do one thing to save himself. It is Jesus plus nothing for the free gift of eternal life. You can not earn it. You can not work for it. You can do nothing to save yourself.
We have to be as righteous as God to go to heaven, and no one is. Romans 3:10. But God gives us His righteousness when we believe Romans 4:6, apart from works.
Matthew 7:21-23 They call him Lord, and do many wonderful works, but never did the will of His Father in heaven. John 6:40 and John 6:29. They trusted in their works, and not what Jesus did for us. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
If good works could save us, then Jesus died in vain. Galatians 2:21 Romans 3:26-28. Romans 4:5 and John 6:47 is true because Jesus said so. Unbelievers trust in their works, keeping the law and doing good works. Believers have trusted in Jesus alone apart from works. Romans 4:5. Faith alone. Romans 11:6.
First John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. If once saved always saved is not true, then you are calling God a liar. It is His word. John 3:18. John 6:40 and John 6:29. John 10:28-29. The GIFT of God is eternal life, not a reward for good behavior. Salvation by works never works. Only by grace apart from works. Romans 11:6.
Christians that don’t believe in rapture are the ones prepared to endure until the end even unto death. They are willing to be tortured, killed, throwing in jail and persecuted for Christ. They know those who lose their life will save their life’s, but those who want to save their life’s will only lose their life’s. So ask yourself a question what if it’s true and the rapture is After the Great Tribulation like the Bible say will you be willing to endure to the end. Will you be ready to be tortured, killed, throwing in jail and persecuted for Christ like so many of our brother and sister in Christ that a rapture has not saved them.
When darkness falls--the power grids, the Internet, and Cell servic fail--light a candle and read the Lord's Prayer and Psalms 23 out loud. Do this frequently. As in the days of the Exodus so it is in our time.
Beautiful. :)
Great advice...as in the Passover during Exodus.
Praise God for your ministry.....
Im a Pre-Triber for sure.. the lord said he will keep us OUT of the time of testing/ his wrath/ temtation ... For the LORD himself will decend from heaven with the voice of the ark angel and the trumpet of God, qnd the dead in christ shall rise 1st then we which are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air and so we will forever be with the Lord, where for comfort each other with these words.... then we come back with jesus at the 2nd coming and fightthe final fight with jesus as his army! Isn't that awesome!! . father please tell Jesus to come quickly in Jesus name amen!🔥👑🙌🙌🙏💜
We will ALL have to go through the tribulation, ALL of us. We are not appointed to wrath means that God will not unleash His wrath on Christians in the last days. We will be protected, but we will still have to go through the tribulation.
Thank you for teaching about a personal rapture! Wonderful is his Love!
I really enjoyed the story of his friend Willard. Takes a little bit of the fear of death away!
Excellent. I could listen for hours. Thanks
Thank you for your great teachings!
Thank you for this message. I needed that.
Fortunately for believers in Jesus, belief in the rapture is not a prerequisite to salvation. There is only one and it is this... "Believe in the One whom He (God) has sent."
Jesus said to watch for Him so we are not caught unaware as He comes like a thief in the night. To those not watching for Him, I can only say, they'll just have to be surprised.
But those who don’t believe Jesus’s words telling us He will keep us from the wrath that is to come sure are filled with hatred, spite, arrogance and everything else that is an antithesis to Jesus Christ, I have to wonder about their faith. And in this comments section there’s an overabundance of them.
@@mynamedoesntmatter8652 There are many who profess being a Christian simply because they 'know' who God is. Sadly, they have not accepted who Jesus, the Son, is.
Only He can know the heart.
Dr. Barnett, I love the way you break things down in your teachings, but in the comments sections in your teachings, I have to say that I don’t believe I’ve ever seen such a diverse bunch of confused people. Someone who doesn’t know anything might think some of these people argue against the Bible as if they were stellar scholars among seminary theologians. I, however, know that they definitely are not. I can only pray that these people don’t influence weaker, new to faith believers. Wolves among the sheep, Lord, be with your people and shine Your Light on the narrow path for those who are seeking You.
I’ll see you in the air, unless we get that “individual and personal” rapture transport, and not the train, for which all who believe in Him have our tickets. Maybe you don’t read these comments - I wouldn’t blame you, Dr. Barnett. God bless!
You are deceived and need to study your Bible for yourself. We will all have to go through the tribulation.
Thank you for your wonderful sermon thank you for your service
Such an enjoyable study. Thank you. I learned a lot. I will share your sermon or teaching, what ever you call it to our mens fellowship.
I agree Erik! Faith is the evidence of things not seen ❣️
The thing that makes me wonder about the rapture is we are told that when Jesus returns, every eye will see him. The way it's taught now, it sounds like everyone not raptured will just be stunned, wondering where all the people went, but as Revelation 1:7 says, every eye will see. I can't seem to figure this out. Can someone please explain this to me?
You must learn how to rightly divide the word of Truth as Paul said if you don't understand dispensationalism you will never understand the Bible and so you must know when it says every I will see him it's talking about his second coming not the rapture
Do not mistake second advent with rapture. There is a big difference.
Please check out Mark13Records on TH-cam. This is not biblical that the rapture happens before Yeshua returns, at the 7th Trump
Its totally unclear. Live day to day and trust God.
@@Gigi-uy3wt its perfectly biblical. You want to put church in the judgement you do wrong. Watch andy woods on rapture topic he has it best explained. And stop going after doctrines of devils. We are not apointed to wrath of God.
Wonderful truth's brother you're in our prayers
The parable of the wheat and tares says we all remain on earth until the harvest.
No. That's Tribulation Saints. The ones under the alter. An angel will gather the ungodly for destruction. But in The Rapture, Jesus comes for us and meets us in the air.
Two different situations. It's very clear.
Matthew 24 tells it all. We will be here for sure. Its very clear
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, modern Dispensational Theology falls apart, and the pretrib removal of the Church falls with it.
Amen, there is no rapture@@
You are deceiving many people. Read 2nd Thessalonians 2. He is not coming until there be a falling away first and the son of perdition is revealed. Furthermore when Jesus says well be caught up in the clouds in the air. Clouds mean "people" and air in the Greek means breath of life not atmosphere. The subject is where the dead are, not in the ground but we are with him when we die. When Satan comes He will deceive you saying I'm Jesus coming to rapture you away.
I don't get it, does that mean Jesus comes back twice? What about the Mount of Oilves landing, by Jesus, and the Saints, and the Earthquake? Then the dead rise up. And what about when Christ goes against the Anti Christ, in Israel?
He if he just has us disappear, I could get that, but 2 returns, just cant be correct.
I preparing the way Christ told me in Matt 23 and 24.
I plan to endure to the very end. Jesus will bring my reward, if I endure.
I am preparing in the way Jesus describes in
Matt 23 and 24.
I must believe Jesus.
(I have red letter Bible. Jesus's words are in red.)
@@brianmcbrayer2528 Thank you, I will see after more studying.
First the rapture/ressurectio/changing in twinkle of eye/in the clouds. Then the tribulation starts with antichrist revealed. Then judgements . then the second coming to defeat the antichrist. Thats how i see it. The church will not see antichrist. We look forward to Christ himelf gathering us to him in the clouds.
At rapture his feet will not touch this earth. But in second coming they will.
@@brianmcbrayer2528 yup.
Andy woods will clear everything about the matt 24and 25. Its about the jews not the church.
I like the way you teach. It's straight forward and easy to understand. About the rapture/harpodzo... I believed in it for a long time. Then, later in life, I joined a good church... but I was introduced to some teachings I never heard of before- that clashed with things I believed all my life. They said there was no pre- trib rapture- that we had to go through the tribulation period and pretty much die as martyrs. I asked why would the Lord let us experience his wrath- it would defeat the very purpose he saved us- to escape his wrath, receive forgiveness, etc. It got quiet when I asked that question. But they made me feel like I was believing the wrong thing and couldn't see the biblical truth. I said "The truth I see in the bible is simple and clear, but you guys are complicating it all with how you try to defend your position." I'll take simple, powerful biblical truth over anyone who is tying themselves into pretzels to prove an off beat position they want to defend.
Pray that you will be worthy to escape these things to come
There are so many ways to look out for Christ because it the moral thing to do right? He's looking after you
How about this question. What happens to those who believe in pre-trib rapture and it doesn't happen until the end of the tribulation period?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this man has truly found his calling. Great teacher.
What state is Calvary Church in?
It's a chain.
Please pray for healing for my brother, Stephen, who is not feeling well, he is experiencing fever, body aches, sore throat. Thank you.
Let him drink hot water with salt .then steam and massage with oil
Salt water goggle. Then keep drinking hot water mixed with lemon juice, ginger and honey.
Thank you for the prayers. He got healed! Praise Jesus!
Christians who don't believe in the rapture it doesn't matter..they will be taking because they are members of his body..for we ALL must appear before the judgment seat of christ.2corintians 5:10...
Can I just say I HOPE WE FIND OUT SOON!
