Seems to me that you ignore many scriptures OT and NT as well as promises from Jesus Himself. It's not going to be a secret and this was taught and understood by the writers of the scriptures as well as many throughout history. So let's go through some scriptures that you didn't discuss. John 14:1-3, and Revelation 3:10 direct promises from Jesus. Isaiah 26:19-21, Zephaniah 2:1-3, Matthew 25:1-13. These are just a few of the scriptures that need to be looked at and considered when comparing scripture with scripture. Zechariah 14 makes it clear that when Jesus returns to rule that the Saints return with Him which is also confirmed by Revelation 19. Without getting into it too much I have a question for you, In Revelation 4 John is caught up in the spirit and describes what he sees in Heaven, and in chapter 5 there are the redeemed from every tribe tongue people and nation and they are about to watch the Lamb open the seals, who are these redeemed that have been made kings and priests and shall reign on the earth and are excluded from going through the tribulation period? Also, why would Jesus promise that He would go prepare a place for us come again and take us to that place? When do you believe that will be fulfilled? Hope to hear back from you.
sir your whole foundation is on the antichrist Saul of Tarsus. You follow that wicked self proclaimed apostle and you have rejected what the messiah taught. You can not show 1 of the 12 who claimed Saul was an apostle and do not try to twist Peter as he never claimed he was an apostle. this is why you and your kind do not keep Sabbath and the other 9 commandments. Your trinity god is the god of the antichrist Pope of Rome and whore catholic church. You are the lawless and you are leading the masses into hell. I suggest you repent. "But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments" (Matthew 19:17).

I'm not a SDA but I do believe in the 7th day Sabbath and the teachings of SDA Church regarding rapture. I enjoy your teachings on Friday evening b/c it gives me a way to start the Sabbath. Please pray for me.
Thank you Pastor Doug. So many people are trapped in deception. They rather believe a lie than the truth from God's word. There is never any contradiction in God's word. Please keep up your teachings as it is so important for us looking for God's truth. Blessings
This is so simple,teaching what’s in the bible will not sway away people.I was taught about this secret rapture at a young age,but was very confused about getting a second chance but now I clearly understand.Thank you Pastor Dough
I thank God for you Pastor Doug. You have made me understand this issue about the rapture. God bless and strengthen all of us to go through the tribulation.
Isaiah 8:20 "To the law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because there's no light in them." So Pastor you just keep preaching the word, "Instant in season, out of season". We love you and there'll be many of us who'll testify to your faithfulness in bringing GOD's word to us, again and again.
Pastor Dough can't even see the True baptism that should be done according to Acts 2:38....he has NO REVELATION OF GOD'S WORD AND IS VERY CARNAL MINDED.
This is a great short video to explain the second coming of Jesus and rapture etc. Many well know people are actually deceived by the secret rapture teaching and return of Christ. I feel this was sent by the Holy Spirit to shed more light on the truth, God bless.
Looking with everything that has happened with this whole pandemic, I pray that Jesus return soon to take us home brothers and sisters. Praise his holy name
God is answering your prayers the pandemic orchestrated economic crisis racial riots that escalated into tearing down Church windows with pictures of Christ and now the pendulum will start swinging the other direction. Watch the video on the site The Return . Org then read what sister White says in Great Controversy page 464 I think you will find it very relevant to exactly where we are in Bible prophecy
Wonderful, thank you Pastor Doug x I think hearing you teach this subject is a blessing especially during these escalating violent times x let's hope many more people hear and see the truth x much love from the UK xx
I read the Bible ,but when people hear me talking about the gospel, they become surprised by the clear explanation of the Scripture ,, but people, what I know is because I hear Pastor Bachelor,Jean Ross, Mark Fenlly,,Yvor Myers,Stephen Bohr ,and many others, They are all a blessing.🙏
I value the scripture that confirms what he says. My entire family believes in a secret rapture & are in error regarding tongues as well, speaking gibberish. When they find out they are speaking nonsense it will be an eye opener! Say a prayer for them if you would. ❤ God bless you Christian family!
Rapture is a mystery and will only be revealed to those who are filled with the Holy Spirit so as speaking in tongue. How can God allow his child to go thru the great tribulation?
@ruth bateau No one I know of teaches you won't have trials and tribulations. Until the devil is cast into the lake of Fire, there will always be tests and trials and storms. Look at Paul, everywhere he went, the devil was a thorn in his side. Stirring up protesters against him. People rejecting the gospel. Enoch was rescued out of, Noah went THROUGH. Daniel was rescued out of, Shadrach, Meschach, Abednego when THROUGH. So God has the pattern of some going out of, and some going THROUGH. The church goes out of the earth in the PreTribulation rapture, Israel and the unbelievers go THROUGH the tribulation and get rescued at the noisy, violent Second Coming when Christ comes back. Lot's wife could have avoided the tribulation, but she did not because of her longing to stay. There is still time to be in the Enoch, Lot group and avoid the tribulation. But God will not force people to go up on the "first load".
@ruth bateau we in the very very last days, and yes we are all experiencing the trouble and trials temptations. God will not allow his elect to be rule by the antichrist. The antichrist is already here but waiting on the right time for him to surfaced and what is happening to the nation of Israel is telling us when it will. The people of God will be taken away and the world will be ruled by the antichrist. This is when all the lukewarm Christians and the unbelievers will go thru the great tribulation. This is a time where you and I don't wanna be, we rather take the first flight out. The second coming is for is very own the CHILDREN of Israel. God's eyes are on the Gentiles people giving the Gentiles an opportunity. The rapture is a mystery and only the Spirit of God will help us see. For now continue to be strong in the Lord Jesus Christ be the signs of th times is telling you and I that His return is eminent. God bless you
@Ddot Norreh I believe in the rapture of the church, and also believe the second coming.. after all what matters for now is we prepare for His eminent return. I don't want to be ruled by the antichrist who is already in place waiting for the right time to surface. Ddot norreh God bless you and continue your faith in Christ Jesus. You pray God reveals
But the rapture isn't "Him coming back." It's us going to Him. When He comes back, he comes with all those He raptured to make war against His enemies. So, the question still remains, what will it be like when WE get caught up to HIM? Will it be like when He ascended, where nobody but those who believed saw Him?
@@tettognetwork5729 the New Testament was written in Greek and translated to other languages of the time. English didn't exist back then. In English it's "caught up", in Latin it's "repere". The Greek is "harpazo" and means "to seize, catch (away,up), take by force. This word is derived from another Greek word "aihreomai" which means "to take for oneself". In this scripture 1 Thessalonians 4:17 the dead and living will meet the Lord in the air. I don't really feel the word rapture is misleading but I do feel this video is. He only mentions a couple scriptures and skips a lot of scriptures that need to be looked at in order to understand the topic in a proper way.
@@risenyeshua7935 i think maybe he didn't want to go into every verse and focused on the ones most people know in order to explain how people mught misinterpret them.
@@risenyeshua7935 ,the majority of Christians seems to skipped over Scriptures🤷🏾♀️ I prefer what the Scriptures says Caught Up. The main important thing to do at this point in our lives. Is to Watched🙏🏿and Be Ready.
1 Thes 4:13-17 is the second coming with the only resurrection for the saints which is on the last day, last trumpet (John 6:39-54, 11:24, Rev 20:4-6, 1 Cor 15:52). Luke 17:22-37 is the pre-trib rapture without a resurrection. Life is normal (eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building, and weddings), there is a flash of light and dead bodies. Pre-trib we leave our flesh on earth (Luke 17:37). We get a heavenly body in heaven (1 Cor 15:40). Maranatha!
It's very Sad how so many Christian movie productions make (Left Behind movies) & other SECRET RAPTURE MOVIES. And alot of Pastors preach and teach a secret rapture. So many people are misinformed.
"But the Day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night" - It did not say 'The Lord shall come as a thief in the night', it said the DAY shall come. Meaning you don't know WHEN the event shall happen. This is basic Reading Comprehension here, how do people mess this up . . . ? And wasn't this concept illustrated with the parable of the Ten Handmaidens?
You need to read first Thessalonians 5:4-8 . "but you brethren are not in darkness that the day should overtake you as a thief. You are the children of the light and the children of the day , we are not of the night or of the darkness. Therefore let us not sleep as do others, but let us watch and be sober. Put on the armor of God . Pray without ceasing and in everything give thanks.....,,
@Desire Of All Nations, some preachers started calling it the secret rapture because Jesus said we won’t know the day or hour. The secret is the timing. Nobody teaches that Jesus said he was going to slip down from heaven and back again silently, so people who go around refuting that idea are refuting their own straw man idea.
@Desire Of All Nations why branding it the secret rapture... it's a mystery and only the Spirit of God reveals. I am a Gentile and rapture ready... don't want to miss .... the second coming is for His very own the Israelites... God will not suffer His people especially the Gentiles to wrath. Right now God's eyes is upon the Gentiles, the Jewish are blind that's why they are still waiting for the messiah..
I am glad pastor that you speak about this important topic .. We are seeing many who still are in dark and believe that false doctrine... And despite trying redirecting them become resentful most ... Lets hope they,'ll watch this video ..will recommend your teaching.. May the Lord guide you all the way until that glorious day...🔥
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 1Thessalonians 4:16
I am with him up to 12:17 and ONLY to 12:17. He seems to reverse the original course of a rapture ( being saved/rescued out, and now states that if you're " left behind " you are the blessed one? I truly love how he explained the " HIS-story " of how we got the false teaching of the " secret rapture, however, at the end , as I said, he says that the ones that remain , are left behind , or "overlooked" are the blessed. I gotta be missing something cause I sincerely love this man and his hermeneutics. Yahweh bless you all and keep you and yours in His grace.
im speechless. I PRAISE GOD FOR YOU PASTOR DOUG. I PRAISE HIM.... I AM BEYOND THANKFUL FOR HIS SPIRIT THAT ENABLES YOU TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSE AND PREACH HIS TRUTH. THANK YOU.

😳 “For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the EAGLES (See Isa49:31 KJV) be gathered together.” -Matt24:31 KJV
URGENT MESSAGE: Hi Pastor Doug, I've been been your virtual student for over 10years and share your message with many people, some who gladly accepted it. However, in past 5 years many "Truthers" have asked me that they are eagerly waiting for you to address the BIBLICAL COSMOLOGY topic (Geocentrism vs Heliocentrism). The shape of the earth as described biblically is opposite to the conventional globe Heliocentrism devised and managed by the Jesuits for the past 400 years. I look forward to you addressing this topic. Thank you so much. God Bless.
I've met him and heard him speak, he explains the bible so beautifully. He is a truly great man who has inspired and saved so many ! His reward will be so great in heaven, God Bless!
He says the (church) when he came the first time made the mistake of thinking he was going to come back riding on a White Horse but the church wasn’t established yet christ was still dealing with the jews. And it was the jews who made that mistake (and still are) not the church. JESUS CHRIST is coming again for his brothers n sisters (BRIDE) true Christians who have called apon his name. And will bring us back with him when he returns at the end of the tribulation period to cast the anti -Christ and false prophet into the lake of fire n brimstone and stop all those who are destroying the earth with wars and unrepentant sin as those who have taken the mark on there right hand or forehead have given there allegiance to Satan and his false Christ and will have forfeited there soul to Satan and spent there ( eternal ) rest of there lives in the lake of fire n brimstone torment.
Mark Nowakowski : God Church was in existence since the beginning of creation. Church are people, “where two or three are gathered in my name ; there I’m in there midst.
Samuel Bongcayao WHAAAAAAAAAA ADAM N EVE DIDN’T HAVE A CHURCH. They had the garden and the LORD walking with them in the cool of the day there was no need for a church back then (come on man) fo real. They had the CREATOR walking with them as there was no need for salvation because there was no sin until eve fell and Adam followed in her footsteps. Then when they were kicked out and the angels blocked them with swords of flames there still wasn’t a church. JESUS started his Ministry at the appointed time latter period n his years even though at a young age he was already in the synagogue speaking to the seasoned rabi’s with great wisdom and authority. He must have blew there bitty minds with his vast knowledge as a small child in there myst. The church began after JESUS ascended. In the upper room the Holy Spirit was sent as CHRIST told them on this rock I shall build my church and the gates of heaven shall not prevail against it. That’s why we’re in the church age now YHWY didn’t need a church back in the garden.
Sometimes, in the military, a Combat Search and Rescue mission is silent but here, in this case, regarding Jesus rescue mission, everything will be LOUD and CLEAR... LIMA - CHARLIE.. 😁
Thanks for publically addressing this and eschatology related topics. I come from a Baptist and Pentecostal background so some of the doctrine that the Seventh Day Adventist church teaches, I don't agree with. I do however appreciate the importance and timeliness of this subject. Many pastors and preachers seem to shy away from end-time prophesy or take bits of important and relevant scripture way out of context. I don't claim to be a Bible Scholar, and I am aware that you are addressing a specific question. My concern is that the Biblical knowledge about what is expected of us as Christians through the tribulation aren't forefront. I have no fear of tribulation personally and no faithful Christian should. Jesus showed up to save Shadrach, Meshec and Abendigo in the Fiery furnace. I know that God walks through this time through his spirit in us. What I don't hear about is how important our walk is. If we don't make habits of walking closely to produce spiritual fruit, many Christians, I believe they will think Satan is the messiah and never make a stand against Satan. Many will unknowingly take the Mark of the beast instead of the mark or seal of God in there foreheads. We shouldn't ignore Revelations 20. Those who take part in the first resurrection are those who overcome Satan by giving thier testimony and even their lives for Jesus. Christians aren't equipped mentally or spiritually for this because of false teaching and the famine for the truth (Amos 8:11). Remember in 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 that Satan comes first and God will send strong delusion to those who don't have a love of his word. We as Christians shouldn't sugar coat, ignore or falsely teach the end time prophecies God is against false teachers (Ezekiel 13). We need to work and cultivate a discipline with self first then our brothersand sistersin Christ, working to serve others not self, and boldly taking a stand for Biblical truth not traditions of men. Iron sharpens iron.
Adventist preach from Bible alone other denominations preach from Bible and doctrines of human tradition.people don't accept truth, Isaiah 8:20 read it and understand it.if u are a true follower of Christ understand this text.thank you.
@@FunnyVideos51836 actually that's not true. While there are few and not many,I have actually heard God's word taught outside a seventh day Adventist church. Also You say that if I am a true believer, that I should understand the verse you share. I agree with the verse. Jesus also said that you will know them by thier fruits. God gets to decide who is a "true Christian" we can discern but the fruits of the spirit are the opposite of the fruits of the flesh. The law is definitely important but I think that Jesus points out consistently that love is the primary and prerequisite for producing spiritual fruit. All of the commandments are based on loving God and loving your neighbors. I do agree that there is alot of perverted views and twisted doctrine taught to suite the traditions of men. Jesus said you will know them by thier fruits.
Hi Pastor Doug, love your sermons, but have a suggestion for more accurate context regarding 2 Corinthians 11:13,14 quote. I think it’s extremely important to quote the pretext of this scripture, which starts at verse 12, “ And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about. For such people are false prophets....” verse 12 gives context for the meaning of verse 13,14. That’s all, God bless.
Pastor Bachelor, you are truly a sound bible teacher and I highly recommend you. So are you saying that Jesus' second coming is literal, visible and audible? If that is so, then the rapture of the saints will not be secret.
Why calling secret rapture,, it's not secret it's a mystery and only the Spirit of God reveals. As a Gentile I am well prepared for the rapture because this is my opportunity. The second coming is for His very own the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL...that's when his very own who still don't believe and still waiting will see Him appear in the clouds and at the very last minute will be saved. THis are the people of the covenant. As for us Gentiles this is our very hope where apostle Paul calls THE BLESSED HOPE... why would I go through the great tribulation? Gentiles, and believers in Christ hold onto the faith in Christ. He is coming so soon
Excellent Wema. Those calling it a "secret rapture" hate the PreTribulation rapture. We are really talking about two groups that get saved. The Church, which gets removed before the tribulation. Israel. The scripture says all Israel will be saved. They will see him whom they pierced and mourn for him (like a long lost son). At the second coming, the new believers from Israel will be gathered by the angels to Jerusalem from the four corners. This is Matthew 24:40. It sounds like a "rapture" but it is not. So just like Joseph had two "brides", Leah and Rachel, the analogy is similar. Israel will no longer be called Forsaken. The Church is NOT Israel. If you will, the Church is Leah (the last desired, but the first married) and Israel is Rachel (the first desired, but the last married). Remember the scripture says, the first will be last, and the last first. Now you know what he meant. Was Joseph an adulterer? Figuratively there are two "brides". The church (leah) will spend 7 days (years) in heaven before Israel (Rachel) "makes herself ready". So when it says in Revelation "the bride has made herself ready", this is Rachel. The church has already been married seven years prior to the end of the tribulation. This is why people mix up the two comings. Because there ARE two comings for TWO BRIDES. I will put on my helmet and shields up for the comments on this one.
My babtist church preaches the pre tribulation rapture .. My Catholic friends say tribulation then rapture .. i dont know where you got the information from . Its the other way around where i live

New Age teachers, Word of Faith teachers, Catholicism and many other false teachers in the church are the fulfillment of these scriptures.

John18:20 Jesus said that in secret he does nothing. Also, Luke 8:17 How does God feel about keeping secrets? Ecclesiastes 12:14. Luke 12:2 says there are no secrets that will not be revealed, Matthew 10:26-28 elaborates on the topic saying that what God whispers to you in the dark he wants revealed in the light. God is forthcoming with the things that we need to know. He is the revealer of secrets: he told Elisha the plans made against the Israelite army in secret so much so that they ,the Syrians ,thought there was a spy in their camp. 2 Kings 6:8-23. Let us not forget to whom the secret things belong: Deuteronomy 29:29 "The secret things belong to the Lord our God , but the things that are revealed belong to us and our children forever, " Why do they belong to us and our children forever? So glad you asked, "that we may do ALL the words of this Law ." It all goes back to IF you love me ,keep my Commandments
Reading the book of Revelation with AUDIENCE RELEVANCE in mind you would know the great tribulation was over in 70 A.D. May Father YAHweh bless your understanding and show you His Resurrected Son YAHwehShua. Praise Father YAHweh.
Hey Doug. I agree that Jesus will be coming at the 7th trumpet and that is before the plague starts. So the Church will be taken at the 7th trumpet right? And not after the plagues as you've said in the video.
1 Thessalonians 4:15 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. The Rapture is NOT the same as the Second Coming! The rapture is for the Church; the Second Coming deals specifically with Israel and those who rejected God! There is nothing "secret" about that! It's been in the Bible for hundreds of years. Some people just choose to ignore or disregard that fact. By the grace of God, I'm not one of those people!
Vickie Mercer, some preachers started calling it the “secret” Rapture because Jesus said that only his Father knows the day and hour. The secret is the timing. Some preachers apparently invented the idea that the secret meant that it’s going to be invisible and silent and unnoticed in order to mock the doctrine.
Very informative thank you so much.. i am a newborn Christain and still learning a lot and so I have a question I am a bit confused on. If the second coming of Christ is the final opportunity for man and that is it and when judgement will happen then I am wondering about in the Bible when it says Jesus will reign for 1000 years after all this happens but then at the end of the 1000 years the devil is released one more time to gather some more people to take to hell with him i believe it says. So wouldnt those people have gotten into the 1000 year reign to begin with and what would cause the devil to then be able to claim there souls at the end of the 1000 year reign? Is there going to be a way for people to turn against Jesus during the reign and those are the souls the devil will be able to claim when he is released one last time or am I totally confused on the whole thing? :) thank you in advanced for helping.

Jesus, like a thief, comes at a time when we know not. If we knew when a thief would try to break and enter, we would have a way in place to prevent it. Surely the first appearing of Jesus was for a warning that we may believe on Him and that day of His second coming not catch us unaware who by faith are looking for it. We will all see Him on that day, some to everlasting life, some to everlasting contempt in the judgment of the wicked at the end of the 1000 yrs. We can know that all will see Him when He comes for His people because the wicked(Luke 21:26) will hide themselves in the rocks when they see Him. We, on the other hand,(Luke 21:27-28) shall lift up our heads and look up to see our redemption drawing near. The rumbling of the earth breaking all around us causing heart failure in the wicked surely expresses Gods revelation of His coming as no secret. We will feel it, hear it, see it, and maybe even smell and taste the repercussions in the dusty air around us.
When the catching up ( or the Wedding of the Bride),, it is to take His bride away from the Wrath of His Father. 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10. Also,, It is a Nazarene wedding - please look it up ( Jesus spent around 26 years in that place for this reason). Also, we are caught up to Him - Jesus DOES NOT COME DOWN TO THE EARTH, So this is NOT the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth as The Messiah. After Rev 3 the church is never mentioned again ( since we are already in Heaven) the rest is about the Tribulation and the Jews ( The two witnesses to them and the 144000) - all for them. Read the Bible in context and you will see that the Messiah comes at the end to judge those who failed to NOT refuse the Mark of the Beast. The Tribulation Saints ( who died) are looked after and so is the Bride of Christ ( who has spent 7 years in Heaven with Him). Then the wedding feast will happen - yes then the Lord's Millennial Reign!
The VERB harpazo is used 13 times in the New Testament, and always means "to take by force". Paul was harpazo by the Romans and taken to Rome.The VERB 'rapture" (circa 1600) was coined after it's sister "rape" (circa 1400)... both from the Latin VERB 'rapio The VERB rapture first meant "kidnapped and raped"... which is 'taken by force". 'Rapture' as a NOUN (name of an event) didn't exist as a noun until John Nelson Darby needed terms to DIVIDE the NOUN (name of event) that the Word and Paul calls "the resurrection of the dead"... into two...1 Cor 15:12-54...see vs 42. Thus the terms "rapture" and "second coming" (or advent) were conjured by man out of thin air to divide the singular event of the "resurrection of the dead" that Paul doesn't want us to be ignorant about in 1 Thess 4:13-18. The Word of God is very clear that the 'resurrection of the dead' doesn't happen until the "heavens are destroyed".. Job 14:12, 2 Peter 3:10, Mark 13:31,32, Matthew 24:35,36, and those martyred for not taking the Mark of the Beast are resurrected as the FIRST resurrection... Rev. 20:4,5. Consider the fact that Paul also uses the VERB "gathered" in 2 Thess 2:1 where we are "gathered unto Him".... It would be absurd to take the VERB "gathered" ... find the Greek or Latin word for it and create a noun out of it... calling it a NEW name...such as "THE GATHERING".... thus pretending to create a 3rd return to coincide with the absurd 2nd rapture return that doesn't exist in the Word of God.
People want to believe in the rapture because they are scared to face what's coming and don't want there faith to be tested. Why should any one of us have it easier than the apostles and disciples had to go through? Matthew 10 vs 16 to 23 ESV Matthew 13 vs 28 to 30 jesus is obviously saying in this vs that we will all go through the tribulation when he says to the end. The rapture is not biblical. Matthew 13 vs 37 to 43 the end means the end.
I have a question about the name Shekinah, I had thought that the name Shekinah meant Holy Spirit but know this one prophecy lady said that it was a Demonic name ora Demonic Goddess do you know what it really means??
Why add to what the Bible says. When Jesus was taken up by a cloud I believe that is exactly what it was. When He comes back it will be on a cloud. What is so hard about believing Jesus can stand on a cloud just as easily as He walked on water?
It's not a secret rapture. It is hid from those who do not really believe. It goes like "Oh I believe in Jesus but I draw the line where it comes to people literally vanishing from the earth That just can't happen"

Seems to me that you ignore many scriptures OT and NT as well as promises from Jesus Himself. It's not going to be a secret and this was taught and understood by the writers of the scriptures as well as many throughout history. So let's go through some scriptures that you didn't discuss. John 14:1-3, and Revelation 3:10 direct promises from Jesus. Isaiah 26:19-21, Zephaniah 2:1-3, Matthew 25:1-13. These are just a few of the scriptures that need to be looked at and considered when comparing scripture with scripture. Zechariah 14 makes it clear that when Jesus returns to rule that the Saints return with Him which is also confirmed by Revelation 19. Without getting into it too much I have a question for you, In Revelation 4 John is caught up in the spirit and describes what he sees in Heaven, and in chapter 5 there are the redeemed from every tribe tongue people and nation and they are about to watch the Lamb open the seals, who are these redeemed that have been made kings and priests and shall reign on the earth and are excluded from going through the tribulation period?
Also, why would Jesus promise that He would go prepare a place for us come again and take us to that place? When do you believe that will be fulfilled?
Hope to hear back from you.
sir your whole foundation is on the antichrist Saul of Tarsus. You follow that wicked self proclaimed apostle and you have rejected what the messiah taught. You can not show 1 of the 12 who claimed Saul was an apostle and do not try to twist Peter as he never claimed he was an apostle. this is why you and your kind do not keep Sabbath and the other 9 commandments. Your trinity god is the god of the antichrist Pope of Rome and whore catholic church. You are the lawless and you are leading the masses into hell. I suggest you repent. "But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments" (Matthew 19:17).

Thank you Pastor Doug. So many people are trapped in deception. They rather believe a lie than the truth from God's word. There is never any contradiction in God's word. Please keep up your teachings as it is so important for us looking for God's truth. Blessings
HE IS RIGHT ON!
This is so simple,teaching what’s in the bible will not sway away people.I was taught about this secret rapture at a young age,but was very confused about getting a second chance but now I clearly understand.Thank you Pastor Dough
I don't know how to thank you for all these pastor. You are truely a God's man. Maranatha Jesus is coming
I thank God for you Pastor Doug. You have made me understand this issue about the rapture. God bless and strengthen all of us to go through the tribulation.
The Scriptures are very clear, people get lost in interpretations.
God interprets HIS OWN WORD by manifesting It/bringing It to pass and than Vindicating It.
100%
People need to study Gods Word with the helper, the Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 8:20 "To the law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because there's no light in them." So Pastor you just keep preaching the word, "Instant in season, out of season". We love you and there'll be many of us who'll testify to your faithfulness in bringing GOD's word to us, again and again.
Pastor Dough can't even see the True baptism that should be done according to Acts 2:38....he has NO REVELATION OF GOD'S WORD AND IS VERY CARNAL MINDED.
This is a great short video to explain the second coming of Jesus and rapture etc. Many well know people are actually deceived by the secret rapture teaching and return of Christ. I feel this was sent by the Holy Spirit to shed more light on the truth, God bless.
Pray for each other. Keep talking to the Father, and may we sin no more that Christ and Father may shine forth from us.
Looking with everything that has happened with this whole pandemic, I pray that Jesus return soon to take us home brothers and sisters. Praise his holy name
God is answering your prayers the pandemic orchestrated economic crisis racial riots that escalated into tearing down Church windows with pictures of Christ and now the pendulum will start swinging the other direction. Watch the video on the site The Return . Org then read what sister White says in Great Controversy page 464 I think you will find it very relevant to exactly where we are in Bible prophecy
Thank you, Pastor Doug. Excellent Bible study. This is a slam dunk!!!

Wonderful truth Sir! Very clear and healthy doctrine.

Thank you for your continual service for God
Jesus is coming with His mighty angels. Every eye will see Him ,even those who pierced Him ".Revelation 1:7
I value the scripture that confirms what he says. My entire family believes in a secret rapture & are in error regarding tongues as well, speaking gibberish. When they find out they are speaking nonsense it will be an eye opener!
Say a prayer for them if you would. ❤ God bless you Christian family!
Rapture is a mystery and will only be revealed to those who are filled with the Holy Spirit so as speaking in tongue.
How can God allow his child to go thru the great tribulation?
@ruth bateau No one I know of teaches you won't have trials and tribulations. Until the devil is cast into the lake of Fire, there will always be tests and trials and storms. Look at Paul, everywhere he went, the devil was a thorn in his side. Stirring up protesters against him. People rejecting the gospel. Enoch was rescued out of, Noah went THROUGH. Daniel was rescued out of, Shadrach, Meschach, Abednego when THROUGH. So God has the pattern of some going out of, and some going THROUGH. The church goes out of the earth in the PreTribulation rapture, Israel and the unbelievers go THROUGH the tribulation and get rescued at the noisy, violent Second Coming when Christ comes back. Lot's wife could have avoided the tribulation, but she did not because of her longing to stay. There is still time to be in the Enoch, Lot group and avoid the tribulation. But God will not force people to go up on the "first load".
@ruth bateau we in the very very last days, and yes we are all experiencing the trouble and trials temptations. God will not allow his elect to be rule by the antichrist. The antichrist is already here but waiting on the right time for him to surfaced and what is happening to the nation of Israel is telling us when it will. The people of God will be taken away and the world will be ruled by the antichrist. This is when all the lukewarm Christians and the unbelievers will go thru the great tribulation. This is a time where you and I don't wanna be, we rather take the first flight out. The second coming is for is very own the CHILDREN of Israel. God's eyes are on the Gentiles people giving the Gentiles an opportunity. The rapture is a mystery and only the Spirit of God will help us see. For now continue to be strong in the Lord Jesus Christ be the signs of th times is telling you and I that His return is eminent.
God bless you
@Ddot Norreh it is our job to pray for them & to witness.
@Ddot Norreh I believe in the rapture of the church, and also believe the second coming.. after all what matters for now is we prepare for His eminent return. I don't want to be ruled by the antichrist who is already in place waiting for the right time to surface. Ddot norreh God bless you and continue your faith in Christ Jesus. You pray God reveals
very clear and awesome sermon.. I love to watch all of your sermons pastor Doug. God bless you more..
The thumbs down are Tim Lahey fans😒 Left behind series believers.

That was really important lesson for me. Thank you! God Bless you!
But the rapture isn't "Him coming back." It's us going to Him. When He comes back, he comes with all those He raptured to make war against His enemies. So, the question still remains, what will it be like when WE get caught up to HIM? Will it be like when He ascended, where nobody but those who believed saw Him?
Thank you so much for making this video!
Thank you soooo much for such a thorough explanation!!! This topic was weighing heavily on my heart....not anymore:-)
I think the word RAPTURE in itself is misleading. we should just stick with what the scriptures say, CAUGHT UP!
The word rapture comes from the Latin translation.
@@risenyeshua7935 was the scriptures written in Latin and then translated to English?
@@tettognetwork5729 the New Testament was written in Greek and translated to other languages of the time. English didn't exist back then. In English it's "caught up", in Latin it's "repere".
The Greek is "harpazo" and means "to seize, catch (away,up), take by force. This word is derived from another Greek word "aihreomai" which means "to take for oneself".
In this scripture 1 Thessalonians 4:17 the dead and living will meet the Lord in the air.
I don't really feel the word rapture is misleading but I do feel this video is. He only mentions a couple scriptures and skips a lot of scriptures that need to be looked at in order to understand the topic in a proper way.
@@risenyeshua7935 i think maybe he didn't want to go into every verse and focused on the ones most people know in order to explain how people mught misinterpret them.
@@risenyeshua7935 ,the majority of Christians seems to skipped over Scriptures🤷🏾♀️ I prefer what the Scriptures says Caught Up. The main important thing to do at this point in our lives. Is to Watched🙏🏿and Be Ready.
1 Thes 4:13-17 is the second coming with the only resurrection for the saints which is on the last day, last trumpet (John 6:39-54, 11:24, Rev 20:4-6, 1 Cor 15:52).
Luke 17:22-37 is the pre-trib rapture without a resurrection. Life is normal (eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building, and weddings), there is a flash of light and dead bodies.
Pre-trib we leave our flesh on earth (Luke 17:37). We get a heavenly body in heaven (1 Cor 15:40). Maranatha!
It's very Sad how so many Christian movie productions make (Left Behind movies) & other SECRET RAPTURE MOVIES. And alot of Pastors preach and teach a secret rapture. So many people are misinformed.
Praise the lord
Jesus coming back packing, He will have all His angels. Come Lord Jesus come, Yeshua Hamashiach Adonai. We Love You.
"But the Day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night" - It did not say 'The Lord shall come as a thief in the night', it said the DAY shall come. Meaning you don't know WHEN the event shall happen. This is basic Reading Comprehension here, how do people mess this up . . . ? And wasn't this concept illustrated with the parable of the Ten Handmaidens?
Jesus said he would come as a thief, so I don't understand your point.
You need to read first Thessalonians 5:4-8 . "but you brethren are not in darkness that the day should overtake you as a thief. You are the children of the light and the children of the day , we are not of the night or of the darkness. Therefore let us not sleep as do others, but let us watch and be sober. Put on the armor of God . Pray without ceasing and in everything give thanks.....,,
@Desire Of All Nations, some preachers started calling it the secret rapture because Jesus said we won’t know the day or hour. The secret is the timing. Nobody teaches that Jesus said he was going to slip down from heaven and back again silently, so people who go around refuting that idea are refuting their own straw man idea.
@@Heavensoon7, Jesus said he comes as a thief, and Paul repeated his teaching, saying that the day of the Lord comes as a thief.
@Desire Of All Nations why branding it the secret rapture... it's a mystery and only the Spirit of God reveals. I am a Gentile and rapture ready... don't want to miss .... the second coming is for His very own the Israelites... God will not suffer His people especially the Gentiles to wrath. Right now God's eyes is upon the Gentiles, the Jewish are blind that's why they are still waiting for the messiah..
I am glad pastor that you speak about this important topic ..
We are seeing many who still are in dark and believe that false doctrine...
And despite trying redirecting them become resentful most ...
Lets hope they,'ll watch this video ..will recommend your teaching..
May the Lord guide you all the way until that glorious day...🔥
The second coming and the rapture are not the same thing. Let's talk more on this.
Amen thanks you Lord for the word girl it teaches of a loving father who us coming again I am looking forward to me him Amen
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

The Day of the Lord draws nears, draws near! and who shall be able to stand?
This sermon is biblical with what Holy Bible saids.
I am with him up to 12:17 and ONLY to 12:17. He seems to reverse the original course of a rapture ( being saved/rescued out, and now states that if you're " left behind " you are the blessed one?
I truly love how he explained the " HIS-story " of how we got the false teaching of the " secret rapture, however, at the end , as I said, he says that the ones that remain , are left behind , or "overlooked" are the blessed.
I gotta be missing something cause I sincerely love this man and his hermeneutics.

Those people they believe in secret rapture they dislike this bible says by itself by Doug Batchelor.
😳 “For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the EAGLES (See Isa49:31 KJV) be gathered together.” -Matt24:31 KJV
URGENT MESSAGE:
Hi Pastor Doug, I've been been your virtual student for over 10years and share your message with many people, some who gladly accepted it. However, in past 5 years many "Truthers" have asked me that they are eagerly waiting for you to address the BIBLICAL COSMOLOGY topic (Geocentrism vs Heliocentrism). The shape of the earth as described biblically is opposite to the conventional globe Heliocentrism devised and managed by the Jesuits for the past 400 years. I look forward to you addressing this topic.
Thank you so much. God Bless.
Well done, Pastor!
great comfort should be in the hearts and minds of those that trust in the Lord Jesus Christ when wrath is poured out on earth.

We all have to go through The Fire which is The Tribulation...for we All have to go through the Last Judgement...
He says the (church) when he came the first time made the mistake of thinking he was going to come back riding on a White Horse but the church wasn’t established yet christ was still dealing with the jews. And it was the jews who made that mistake (and still are) not the church. JESUS CHRIST is coming again for his brothers n sisters (BRIDE) true Christians who have called apon his name. And will bring us back with him when he returns at the end of the tribulation period to cast the anti -Christ and false prophet into the lake of fire n brimstone and stop all those who are destroying the earth with wars and unrepentant sin as those who have taken the mark on there right hand or forehead have given there allegiance to Satan and his false Christ and will have forfeited there soul to Satan and spent there ( eternal ) rest of there lives in the lake of fire n brimstone torment.
Mark Nowakowski : God Church was in existence since the beginning of creation. Church are people, “where two or three are gathered in my name ; there I’m in there midst.
Samuel Bongcayao WHAAAAAAAAAA ADAM N EVE DIDN’T HAVE A CHURCH. They had the garden and the LORD walking with them in the cool of the day there was no need for a church back then (come on man) fo real. They had the CREATOR walking with them as there was no need for salvation because there was no sin until eve fell and Adam followed in her footsteps. Then when they were kicked out and the angels blocked them with swords of flames there still wasn’t a church. JESUS started his Ministry at the appointed time latter period n his years even though at a young age he was already in the synagogue speaking to the seasoned rabi’s with great wisdom and authority. He must have blew there bitty minds with his vast knowledge as a small child in there myst. The church began after JESUS ascended. In the upper room the Holy Spirit was sent as CHRIST told them on this rock I shall build my church and the gates of heaven shall not prevail against it. That’s why we’re in the church age now YHWY didn’t need a church back in the garden.
Sometimes, in the military, a Combat Search and Rescue mission is silent but here, in this case, regarding Jesus rescue mission, everything will be LOUD and CLEAR... LIMA - CHARLIE.. 😁
Thanks for publically addressing this and eschatology related topics. I come from a Baptist and Pentecostal background so some of the doctrine that the Seventh Day Adventist church teaches, I don't agree with. I do however appreciate the importance and timeliness of this subject. Many pastors and preachers seem to shy away from end-time prophesy or take bits of important and relevant scripture way out of context. I don't claim to be a Bible Scholar, and I am aware that you are addressing a specific question. My concern is that the Biblical knowledge about what is expected of us as Christians through the tribulation aren't forefront. I have no fear of tribulation personally and no faithful Christian should. Jesus showed up to save Shadrach, Meshec and Abendigo in the Fiery furnace. I know that God walks through this time through his spirit in us. What I don't hear about is how important our walk is. If we don't make habits of walking closely to produce spiritual fruit, many Christians, I believe they will think Satan is the messiah and never make a stand against Satan. Many will unknowingly take the Mark of the beast instead of the mark or seal of God in there foreheads. We shouldn't ignore Revelations 20. Those who take part in the first resurrection are those who overcome Satan by giving thier testimony and even their lives for Jesus. Christians aren't equipped mentally or spiritually for this because of false teaching and the famine for the truth (Amos 8:11). Remember in 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 that Satan comes first and God will send strong delusion to those who don't have a love of his word. We as Christians shouldn't sugar coat, ignore or falsely teach the end time prophecies God is against false teachers (Ezekiel 13). We need to work and cultivate a discipline with self first then our brothersand sistersin Christ, working to serve others not self, and boldly taking a stand for Biblical truth not traditions of men. Iron sharpens iron.
Adventist preach from Bible alone other denominations preach from Bible and doctrines of human tradition.people don't accept truth, Isaiah 8:20 read it and understand it.if u are a true follower of Christ understand this text.thank you.
@@FunnyVideos51836 actually that's not true. While there are few and not many,I have actually heard God's word taught outside a seventh day Adventist church. Also You say that if I am a true believer, that I should understand the verse you share. I agree with the verse. Jesus also said that you will know them by thier fruits. God gets to decide who is a "true Christian" we can discern but the fruits of the spirit are the opposite of the fruits of the flesh. The law is definitely important but I think that Jesus points out consistently that love is the primary and prerequisite for producing spiritual fruit. All of the commandments are based on loving God and loving your neighbors. I do agree that there is alot of perverted views and twisted doctrine taught to suite the traditions of men. Jesus said you will know them by thier fruits.
Hi Pastor Doug, love your sermons, but have a suggestion for more accurate context regarding 2 Corinthians 11:13,14 quote. I think it’s extremely important to quote the pretext of this scripture, which starts at verse 12, “ And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about. For such people are false prophets....” verse 12 gives context for the meaning of verse 13,14. That’s all, God bless.
How about Luke 17:36-37?
Doesn’t this verse pre rapture wrong?
Pastor Bachelor, you are truly a sound bible teacher and I highly recommend you. So are you saying that Jesus' second coming is literal, visible and audible? If that is so, then the rapture of the saints will not be secret.
Doug, what is the difference between the Rapture and Jesus' 2nd coming at the end of Tribulation? Are they one and the same? Thanks.
Why calling secret rapture,, it's not secret it's a mystery and only the Spirit of God reveals. As a Gentile I am well prepared for the rapture because this is my opportunity. The second coming is for His very own the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL...that's when his very own who still don't believe and still waiting will see Him appear in the clouds and at the very last minute will be saved. THis are the people of the covenant. As for us Gentiles this is our very hope where apostle Paul calls THE BLESSED HOPE...
why would I go through the great tribulation? Gentiles, and believers in Christ hold onto the faith in Christ. He is coming so soon
Excellent Wema. Those calling it a "secret rapture" hate the PreTribulation rapture. We are really talking about two groups that get saved. The Church, which gets removed before the tribulation. Israel. The scripture says all Israel will be saved. They will see him whom they pierced and mourn for him (like a long lost son). At the second coming, the new believers from Israel will be gathered by the angels to Jerusalem from the four corners. This is Matthew 24:40. It sounds like a "rapture" but it is not. So just like Joseph had two "brides", Leah and Rachel, the analogy is similar. Israel will no longer be called Forsaken. The Church is NOT Israel. If you will, the Church is Leah (the last desired, but the first married) and Israel is Rachel (the first desired, but the last married). Remember the scripture says, the first will be last, and the last first. Now you know what he meant. Was Joseph an adulterer? Figuratively there are two "brides". The church (leah) will spend 7 days (years) in heaven before Israel (Rachel) "makes herself ready". So when it says in Revelation "the bride has made herself ready", this is Rachel. The church has already been married seven years prior to the end of the tribulation. This is why people mix up the two comings. Because there ARE two comings for TWO BRIDES. I will put on my helmet and shields up for the comments on this one.
My babtist church preaches the pre tribulation rapture ..
My Catholic friends say tribulation then rapture .. i dont know where you got the information from . Its the other way around where i live

Great response to the false message of John Darby's dispensationlism. Or as he called it, new wine.
New Age teachers, Word of Faith teachers, Catholicism and many other false teachers in the church are the fulfillment of these scriptures. I’m finding most American churches have either minimized God or are teaching a new Jesus! 😓 It’s so much mistranslation of scripture that I’m praying for all who want the True Christ of the Bible like I do! Lord please help us and speak directly to us! 📖✨
so when you say one will be taken and the other left the one left will be left to burn with faaverant heat so it can't be that way it should be the one taken to meet the lord in the air.

John18:20 Jesus said that in secret he does nothing. Also, Luke 8:17 How does God feel about keeping secrets? Ecclesiastes 12:14. Luke 12:2 says there are no secrets that will not be revealed, Matthew 10:26-28 elaborates on the topic saying that what God whispers to you in the dark he wants revealed in the light. God is forthcoming with the things that we need to know. He is the revealer of secrets: he told Elisha the plans made against the Israelite army in secret so much so that they ,the Syrians ,thought there was a spy in their camp. 2 Kings 6:8-23. Let us not forget to whom the secret things belong: Deuteronomy 29:29 "The secret things belong to the Lord our God , but the things that are revealed belong to us and our children forever, " Why do they belong to us and our children forever? So glad you asked, "that we may do ALL the words of this Law ." It all goes back to IF you love me ,keep my Commandments
Exactly!
Reading the book of Revelation with AUDIENCE RELEVANCE in mind you would know the great tribulation was over in 70 A.D. May Father YAHweh bless your understanding and show you His Resurrected Son YAHwehShua. Praise Father YAHweh.
Hey Doug. I agree that Jesus will be coming at the 7th trumpet and that is before the plague starts. So the Church will be taken at the 7th trumpet right? And not after the plagues as you've said in the video.
1 Thessalonians 4:15 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
The Rapture is NOT the same as the Second Coming! The rapture is for the Church; the Second Coming deals specifically with Israel and those who rejected God!
There is nothing "secret" about that! It's been in the Bible for hundreds of years. Some people just choose to ignore or disregard that fact. By the grace of God, I'm not one of those people!
Vickie Mercer, some preachers started calling it the “secret” Rapture because Jesus said that only his Father knows the day and hour. The secret is the timing. Some preachers apparently invented the idea that the secret meant that it’s going to be invisible and silent and unnoticed in order to mock the doctrine.
Very informative thank you so much.. i am a newborn Christain and still learning a lot and so I have a question I am a bit confused on. If the second coming of Christ is the final opportunity for man and that is it and when judgement will happen then I am wondering about in the Bible when it says Jesus will reign for 1000 years after all this happens but then at the end of the 1000 years the devil is released one more time to gather some more people to take to hell with him i believe it says. So wouldnt those people have gotten into the 1000 year reign to begin with and what would cause the devil to then be able to claim there souls at the end of the 1000 year reign? Is there going to be a way for people to turn against Jesus during the reign and those are the souls the devil will be able to claim when he is released one last time or am I totally confused on the whole thing? :) thank you in advanced for helping.

At my core I believe SDAs are saved. My only pause is their extra biblical teaching of Ellen G. White. Sola scriptura.

Thank you.
Jesus, like a thief, comes at a time when we know not. If we knew when a thief would try to break and enter, we would have a way in place to prevent it. Surely the first appearing of Jesus was for a warning that we may believe on Him and that day of His second coming not catch us unaware who by faith are looking for it. We will all see Him on that day, some to everlasting life, some to everlasting contempt in the judgment of the wicked at the end of the 1000 yrs. We can know that all will see Him when He comes for His people because the wicked(Luke 21:26) will hide themselves in the rocks when they see Him. We, on the other hand,(Luke 21:27-28) shall lift up our heads and look up to see our redemption drawing near. The rumbling of the earth breaking all around us causing heart failure in the wicked surely expresses Gods revelation of His coming as no secret. We will feel it, hear it, see it, and maybe even smell and taste the repercussions in the dusty air around us.
💕💕💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻hello Pastor
When the catching up ( or the Wedding of the Bride),, it is to take His bride away from the Wrath of His Father. 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10. Also,, It is a Nazarene wedding - please look it up ( Jesus spent around 26 years in that place for this reason). Also, we are caught up to Him - Jesus DOES NOT COME DOWN TO THE EARTH, So this is NOT the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth as The Messiah. After Rev 3 the church is never mentioned again ( since we are already in Heaven) the rest is about the Tribulation and the Jews ( The two witnesses to them and the 144000) - all for them. Read the Bible in context and you will see that the Messiah comes at the end to judge those who failed to NOT refuse the Mark of the Beast. The Tribulation Saints ( who died) are looked after and so is the Bride of Christ ( who has spent 7 years in Heaven with Him). Then the wedding feast will happen - yes then the Lord's Millennial Reign!
The VERB harpazo is used 13 times in the New Testament, and always means "to take by force". Paul was harpazo by the Romans and taken to Rome.The VERB 'rapture" (circa 1600) was coined after it's sister "rape" (circa 1400)... both from the Latin VERB 'rapio The VERB rapture first meant "kidnapped and raped"... which is 'taken by force". 'Rapture' as a NOUN (name of an event) didn't exist as a noun until John Nelson Darby needed terms to DIVIDE the NOUN (name of event) that the Word and Paul calls "the resurrection of the dead"... into two...1 Cor 15:12-54...see vs 42. Thus the terms "rapture" and "second coming" (or advent) were conjured by man out of thin air to divide the singular event of the "resurrection of the dead" that Paul doesn't want us to be ignorant about in 1 Thess 4:13-18. The Word of God is very clear that the 'resurrection of the dead' doesn't happen until the "heavens are destroyed".. Job 14:12, 2 Peter 3:10, Mark 13:31,32, Matthew 24:35,36, and those martyred for not taking the Mark of the Beast are resurrected as the FIRST resurrection... Rev. 20:4,5. Consider the fact that Paul also uses the VERB "gathered" in 2 Thess 2:1 where we are "gathered unto Him".... It would be absurd to take the VERB "gathered" ... find the Greek or Latin word for it and create a noun out of it... calling it a NEW name...such as "THE GATHERING".... thus pretending to create a 3rd return to coincide with the absurd 2nd rapture return that doesn't exist in the Word of God.
Why, oh why can't you SDA'S publicise without transgressing the second Commandment ie making God in your own image?
People want to believe in the rapture because they are scared to face what's coming and don't want there faith to be tested. Why should any one of us have it easier than the apostles and disciples had to go through? Matthew 10 vs 16 to 23 ESV Matthew 13 vs 28 to 30 jesus is obviously saying in this vs that we will all go through the tribulation when he says to the end. The rapture is not biblical. Matthew 13 vs 37 to 43 the end means the end.
I have a question about the name Shekinah, I had thought that the name Shekinah meant Holy Spirit but know this one prophecy lady said that it was a Demonic name ora Demonic Goddess do you know what it really means??
And the Holy Spirit is Ruach Hakodesh.
Why add to what the Bible says. When Jesus was taken up by a cloud I believe that is exactly what it was. When He comes back it will be on a cloud. What is so hard about believing Jesus can stand on a cloud just as easily as He walked on water?
John was caught up yet died on earth
It's not a secret rapture. It is hid from those who do not really believe. It goes like "Oh I believe in Jesus but I draw the line where it comes to people literally vanishing from the earth That just can't happen"
Those who don't know Christ have one chance to repent before the 2nd coming. By this time, it's too late
There was no Church the first time Jesus came.
