No matter what you believe; pre,mid or post we MUST always be ready for His return and have our lamps filled with oil. Stay in prayer and fasting and look up because our time draws near.
Great teaching. Worth learning. Excellent exposition of the LORD's soon return. Be warned. Be ready. obey Acts 2:38. Repent of your sins. Be HOLY GHOST filled. Live a holy, separated life. Keep winning souls. Keep self in the love of GOD.
Only, if you believe in that stuff, uou are not reading and understanding scripture....and wosre, you are deceiving people. No, no rapture, no pre-trib or and of those lies.

Thank you so much this channel gives me so much encouragement. I’m a single mother struggling to provide for my two autistic sons both non verbal. I’m so overwhelmed. I’ve been put down, called horrible names, and mocked by others even my own family just because of my situation. I lost my job over declining the vaccine. I declined due to my pre existing health conditions (Lupus) and heart failure. I have no family or friends to turn to. Struggling facing homelessness with two children. is scary. My husband passed away three years ago. I miss him dearly. Me and the children are still coping with his passing. Please keep me in your prayers. Every month is stressful. Im so ashamed my and embarrassed about my situation. Holding on dearly to my faith. I know Our Heavenly Father will provide for me and my children. Praise Jesus! walking by faith not by sight!
Amen! I respect you for sharing your personal situation and holding on so dearly to your faith during your time of adversity. Even though you have not been treated so well by your family, I would not forget to fellowship especially with people in the church. Not only will they be able to pour into you and your situation, but you will also be a testimony for them and be able to encourage others. Have a blessed week, Mousey!
That is great faith in the Almighty who is in control of our lives and everything else. Keep on being persuaded by the Word and his promises for they are true. I am going through a horrible accusation but I have faith and trusting in HIM that HE will deliver me from this situation for HE is the ONE that fights our battles when we call upon his name (jesus) for HE only knows how to triumph. Keep that great faith and focus totally in HIM and I believe He will pour down of his blessings upon you and your children. Keep praying for I will pray for you and your kids. I have been a Pentecostal for 29-30 years. HE is already blessing you and your kids.
Yes sister! Remember what we're going too, even when we fight in this life! God is for us not against us! Revelation 21:4 KJV - And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Where do you live? I’m a single mom in Canada with a special needs child and understand your situation immensely! It feels so alone at times but you are not alone. Others of us out there battling in similar ways.
Yes hallelujah praise God, Jesus is our blessed hope, our wonderful counselor and our great physician, I pray Holy Father you bless this family, and may all their needs be met in the name of Jesus Christ💖⚘
the last of 7 trumpets occur at the end of the 7 year time of the end. The 7th trumpet blast occurs on the first day of God's seventh month which is God's Feast of Trumpets, at which time Christ returns to earth as KING of Kings, this is -- the first resurrection found in Revelations 20. 7 is God's number of spiritual perfection.
Mathew 24:29-31 ,40-42 Luke 17:34-36 immediately after the great tribulation It does matter we must understand the correct timing of the rapture remember even the elect can be deceived God bless you brother David Barnard
We don't have time to play games or fight over this endtime ministries is right on time if you want missed the rapture go ahead but we believe the rapture will takes place immediately after the great tribulation I am ready for the rapture John 3 3 5 Acts 2 4 Acts 2:38-39 apply the Lord 's prayer to every part of your life you don't have anything to worried about
@@donnaleveron6511 Yeap, that is why it is important to look for Jesus and live in holiness. Holiness means set apart, there are a lot of things as Christians we do, we just follow tendencies that in one way or another changes our perception. You can see how a lot of churches now accept movements that are completely anti biblical, same with drugs, etc that are playing a key role in deceiving Christians. Most people thinks that we will see when we will be deceived but as Peter He did not know that denied Christ until it happened, same is happening. Satan is the greatest deceiver
It's actually crystal clear in 1st Corinthians 15:51 through 58,please read , at the last trumpet and not until then. And Jesus is also crystal clear that this generation shall not pass until all be fulfilled and then He will come immediately after the tribulation of those days and gather us together.
This generation? which generation? The generation Jesus was speaking to? The Church wasn't born yet. He was talking to the Jews. The tribulation is about the Jews.
Correct. Pre trib is a false doctrine and can easily be dismantled by scripture. WE DO NOT INTERPRET SCRIPTURE. SCRIPTURE INTERPRETS SCRIPTURE And post trib can easily be interpreted in scripture as the truth. Be ready but also let NO MAN deceive you.
@@hargisP2 Jesus was talking about the generation that sees all the birth pangs that he was just talking about. Obviously if Jesus was referring to the generation that he was talking to, then it did not come to pass and he was wrong. So we know it was not that current generation.
Saying hello from Thibodaux Louisiana. I want to thank you for these podcasts . I have been raised up in the church but went away from God but never have I forgot where I come from. Thank God I have been on the road back to Him and am so thankful for His love, mercy and grace!!! I appreciate these podcasts, and incorporate it into my daily devotionals. It has helped me and strengthened me through rough times when I’ve doubted my very own beliefs. Thank you so much Bro Bernard. I thank God for you!! May God continue to bless your ministry in Jesus name !!
I am listening here from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 and like your teaching on the Rapture of the Believers and coming back to Earth with Him after the Tribulation Period. I think this Generation is the Last Fig Tree Generation 🌳 which Christ Jesus stands at the Door 🚪 to recieve us into Heaven for the Wedding Banquet and return to Earth with Him to establish God's Millennium Kingdom. Love your teaching message of hope.

@@Praise___YaH thank you for sharing this! Jesus is LORD! I personally see post-tribulation catching away all throughout scripture but no one is promised tomorrow and that's why we are all living day to day by God's great grace unless He has given promises that have yet to be fulfilled and then we can bank on continuing to live until those promises come to pass. That's why it is written that today is the day of salvation. This is for not only those who have not been born again but also those who have. Every day we must make sure our hearts are right with God before we go onto be with the Lord.
Meet The Lord IN THE (AIR)? IN CYBER (SPACE). ON (INTERNET). And (SO/IN "THIS" WAY) Shall We (FOREVER) BE WITH THE LORD. We Are (NOT) Going To (FLY AROUND IN THE SKY) FOREVER WITH JESUS.
I think Luke 21:36 is another clue to a pre-trib rapture. After Jesus speaks of the end times and tribulation v. 36 says: Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. -Luke 21:36 We must be ready so we will be found worthy to ESCAPE those things.
There is no rapture. Read John 17:15. Jesus praying in the garden: "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil." KJV
Thank You Bro. Bernard for your views on this subject. I would like to add that the adversary of mankind has even now stated that men can give birth. O' My Dear Lord God, what wickedness there is in our times. I truly believe the Lord Jesus is coming so very soon to take his followers of his out of this sinful world.
“And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.” (Matt. 8:26) O ye of little faith, why would anyone who truly believes in Christ fear the tribulation or even death for that matter? To live is Christ to die is gain (Philip. 1:21). Don’t you have the Holy Spirit, the seal of God (Eph. 1:13) in you? O ye of little faith! Once upon a time, I was a false convert for 53 years (I thought I knew God as many other false denominations claim when in fact, I knew nothing), but the Lord in his mercy, sent his Holy Spirit as I humbled myself before him and truly repented of my sins. As a testament of his mighty power, the Lord rescued the sinner that I was from the bondage of sin and 3 near death experiences (Covid-pre vaccine, a major heart attack and severe blood poisoning and no I didn’t see visions of God or Christ as so many falsely claim). Not only did he restore my spiritual blindness, I was told by medical experts in October 2020 that I would be completely blind by January 2021, yet, by the power and grace of God, it’s September 2023 and this blind man can see so that I could be his witness to his word of truth and defend it. Praise God Almighty! Don’t be deceived! The idea of a seven-year tribulation comes from a misinterpretation of Daniel chapter 9 which is a prophecy about the Messiah, not the antichrist or a seven-year tribulation. This is what Christ taught. “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.” (John 11:25). Notice how he didn’t say anything about going up to heaven. Tell me, isn’t Christ the author and finisher of your faith? If this is true, then believe in what Christ himself said for it is written: “Soon AFTER THE TROUBLE of those days, the sun will grow dark, the moon will no longer shine, the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers in space will be driven from their courses.” (Matt. 24:29) Christ tells us in his own words, there is no pre-trib rapture up into heaven (or any rapture up into heaven). We will meet him in the clouds/air - the earth's atmosphere at the time of his coming (1 Thess. 4:17). “THEN the Son of Man WILL APPEAR, COMING in a cloud with great power and glory. WHEN these things BEGIN to happen, STAND UP AND RAISE YOUR HEADS, BECAUSE YOUR SALVATION IS NEAR.” (Luke 21:27-28) Christ said clearly, “raise your heads because your salvation is near”. Everyone will still be on the earth! This is the 7th / last trumpet (1 Cor. 15:51-52). Christ tells us himself we will be on the earth at his return and the pre-trib rapture is a lie! Scripture can’t be broken (John 10:35). Christ said it and any true Christian should believe what Christ said, not the fabrications and inventions of men or their “eisegesis”. There is no room for debate with the word of God as that would be complete and utter foolishness. Christ already predicted the world would come up with the foolishness of the rapture to heaven. In his own statement of fact, Christ NEVER advocated the “rapturing” of His followers out of the world to be taken up to heaven for it is written: “I DO NOT ASK YOU TO TAKE THEM OUT OF THE WORLD, but I do ask you to KEEP THEM SAFE from the Evil One.” (John 17:15) How clear! Doctrine must come from the Word of God, NOT the teachings of men! If you go back just one verse in 1 Thessalonians 4 to verse 15 you find the same answer there for it is written: “ What we are teaching you now is the Lord's teaching: WE WHO ARE ALIVE on THE DAY the LORD COMES WILL NOT GO AHEAD of those who have died.” (1 Thess. 4:15) Again, according to the word of God, the bodies of the dead have to come out of their grave first which is when the Lord appears - the 7th /last trumpet. Are you ready to go through 6 trumpet judgements? You better have saving faith! Are you ready? One of the greatest problems with the rapture up to heaven is that heaven is not, and has never been, the reward of the saved. Christ said, “The meek shall inherit the earth” (Matt. 5:5). The promise of the saved is eternal life (John 3:16). If you read the Bible for yourself like I did, you will find there isn’t one single Bible verse that says we “go up to heaven” (the throne of God). Not a single one! Christ said scripture can’t be broken (John 10:35) and here it is again for it is written: “For evildoers shall be cut off; But THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD, THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH. For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more; Indeed, you will look carefully for his place, But it shall be no more. But THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” (Psalm 37:9-11) Now open your Bible and read all of Psalm 37. You will find your answer there. Still don’t believe in the word of God? It is written: “Heaven belongs to the Lord ALONE, but he gave the earth to us humans” (Psalm 115:16) “The meek shall inherit the earth” (Matt. 5:5). This is what Christ taught about the kingdom of God just as it is stated in Psalm 37 (read all of it). The promise is eternal life not going up to heaven (John 3:16, Matt 19:16-17). Nowhere in these statements of fact by Christ is going up to heaven mentioned. It is the kingdom OF heaven not kingdom IN heaven. The word OF being paramount as it denotes possession not location. God’s kingdom will be here on earth (Rev. 21) The gospel is about the coming Kingdom of God. The prophesied Messiah would come, rescue his people and claim his kingdom here on earth. Nowhere in the gospel does it say he takes anyone up to heaven. Nowhere! Believing in any rapture up into heaven (God’s throne) is a false gospel taught by a “different Jesus” (2 Cor. 11:4) as Christ and scripture clearly explain. Those who hold to the rapture up to heaven theory believe, in effect, that there is a Second Coming followed by a third coming. The Bible does not in any way substantiate a third coming or a two-phased Second Coming. Here is further proof that there is only one singular Second Coming. It has to do with the first time Christ came to the Earth and how He left after He was resurrected. What happened? It is written: “After saying this, he was taken up to heaven as they watched him, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They still had their eyes fixed on the sky as he went away, when two men dressed in white suddenly stood beside them and said, “Galileans, why are you standing there looking up at the sky? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way that you saw him go to heaven. Then the apostles went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is about half a mile away from the city.” (Acts 1:9-12) The DEAD in Christ will RISE FIRST (1 Thess. 4:16-17) so the apostles will see Christ coming down from heaven to Mt. Olives just as the angels said He would. Then they will meet him in the clouds/air (1 Thess. 4:17). Scripture can’t be broken (John 10:35). It is also written: “He will COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, through the CLOUDS, and will SET DOWN ON THE Mount of Olives just outside Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:4).” Where in this verse or Revelation 19 does it say Christ turns around and goes back to heaven? Nowhere! Christ reveals to the apostle John in Revelation 19:11-21 that He will not return meekly or unnoticed to this earth. His return will be witnessed by the whole world whose kings and armies (verse 19) will gather to battle against Him and his saints will be with him (Rev. 17:14). Christ will lead us into battle just like he did so many times in the Old Testament. “I am the Lord, I do not change” (Micah 3:6). There is no whisking of Christians off to heaven, but Christ’s chosen along with heaven’s armies will be involved in the most terrible battle in man's history (Rev. 19:11-21). The message is reiterated in Ezekiel Chapters 37-39 with the same sequence of events. Go back to the Book of Joshua (Yeshua) and read the Fall of Jericho (how is it that so many are so blind). Christ is descending from heaven to earth to claim his kingdom. We will NOT meet Him up in heaven, but in the atmosphere (clouds/air) of the earth as He is on His way down just as it is written (1 Thess. 4:17.......(continued)
continued...... Now comes the central question of this matter. We have just met Christ in the air! Where do we go from here? Up to heaven or back down to earth? I Thessalonians 4:17 says that we are to be with the Lord forever, but where will the Lord be? Again, many scriptures give the clear answer, but Zechariah 14:4 gives a concise one: “And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley; half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south.” (Zech14:4). Just like the angels told the apostles in Acts. Could this be some "heavenly" Mount of Olives? No, it is the one "which faces Jerusalem on the east"! Could it be some "spiritual" Jerusalem? No, Jesus is going to split Mt. Olives in half! Zechariah basically reiterates what is said in Revelation 19:11-21. Go back and read Zechariah Chapter 14 all of it. Christ will have arrived on earth. Who will be with Him? The second half of Zechariah 14:5 tells us: "Thus the LORD my God will come, and all the saints with You." All the resurrected saints or holy ones will be with Him (Rev. 17:14). Will He stay on earth? Read Zechariah 14:9: "And the LORD shall be KING OVER ALL THE EARTH. IN THAT DAY IT SHALL BE-'The LORD is one,' and His name one." Yes, Christ is coming to stay and claim what is His! The Kingdom of God and the rewards of the saved are coming with him. Christ made a statement of fact, “Behold, I am coming soon and MY REWARD IS WITH me (Rev. 22:12) and "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." (Matt. 5:5). Don’t you believe in what he said? O ye of little faith! Christ will come again to earth, this time with His saints and with His army of angels too. He will take His rightful place on His glorious, earthly throne and share power with His saints over the physical nations of the earth (Rev. 2:26-27). Scripture tells us plainly, "And have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth." (Rev. 5:10). Nowhere in the Bible does it say Christ comes to claim his kingdom to return to heaven again. Nowhere! The Bible tells us those who are living will all be changed at his return; they will become spirit beings. At that time, they don't need to be whisked away to heaven or be rescued from anything that the physical realm might inflict. Spirit beings can't be hurt by physical events, they are IMMORTAL! It therefore makes no sense to think or even suggest that Christ must take anyone to heaven. When you rightly divide the word of God, it’s ridiculous to believe in some man’s invented eisegesis instead of what is actually written in the word of God. The Spirit already knows that someone is going read this and refute what is clearly written in scripture. They will foolishly cite Matthew 24:40-41. Now, be a good Berean and go back to Matthew 13 and read verses 37-44. Who was taken first and who was left behind? The "tares" [wicked] are taken first. You better hope and pray you are not taken out of the world. Christ said upon his return it would be like the days of Noah for a reason. Who was taken and who was left behind? The evil ones were taken away in the flood and Noah with his family (God’s chosen) were kept safely in the ark on earth. We see the same story manifest with the plagues of Egypt in Exodus. The Egyptians were affected, the Israelites (God’s chosen) were protected by God and were not afflicted. The fall of Jericho: Rehab and her family (those who helped God secure the victory) were kept in safety while the rest of the city was destroyed. Sodom and Gomorrah: Lot and his family (chosen) were taken to a place of safety while the cities were destroyed. How many times does the Lord have to repeat himself? Look and look yet you still don’t see? “and the truth will set you free”” (John 8:32) Repent for the Kingdom of God is near!
This was explained so very well and lots of Bible verses to back it up PRAISE THE LORD ! He is coming let’s be ready oh! What a day that will be HALLELUJAH 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️Bless Pastor David Bernard & his wife and family
THAT’S A COPOUT to say “No matter what you believe, we must always be ready …” The Word says, "For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?" (ICor14:8 KJV) That means that if you listen to the uncertain doctrines concerning the sequence of events to happen between no sand the Rapture - and beyond … then you’re going to be ill prepared for the great tribulation!
Pre trib, Mid trib, post trib is and never has been an issue for salvation. So for one to say no matter what you believe on this issue you must be ready (prepared). That is not a cop out.
Matthew 24:29 But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. 31And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET BLAST, and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His [x]elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
If you have angels blowing trumpets or angels gathering then it instantly disqualifies the Rapture! God blows the Trump of God and then Jesus shouts to gather. That is the sequence! No angels involved
@@jasonjohnson3424 Jesus mentioned Days of Noah and Days of Lot and both had an ESCAPE method and then judgment. If you have any other sequence then it's wrong.
I don't think he is answering the question, but he is giving one of the best answers. And another I think dr Bernard should tell the World he is reading Conduct,Order and Doctrine of William Branham
I wish I could hear bro Bernard and bro Baxter discuss this. He was post tribulation. Bro Baxter use to be my pastor but we disagreed on some things but I believe he may of been right on the tribulation. I don't know.
When the 2 witnesses are called up that's the 1st resurrection or rapture of the dead in Christ 1st then we who are alive and remain. It's not about knowing the day or the hour but the event.

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. The Capitol "C" Church, as we use the word today, is not found in the entire Book of Revelation. Individual church bodies in ancient Asia Minor are found. In Revelation 12:11 we find those under the blood of the Lamb. A person cannot be under the blood of the Lamb and not be a part of the New Covenant Church of Jesus Christ. Verse 12 of this passage proves at least part of the tribulation period is the wrath of Satan upon the people of God. Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. "It may come as a surprise to most pre-Trib prophecy students that the post-Trib position (in its primitive form) is the oldest point of view." The quotation above is from the book "Will You Escape The Tribulation? RAPTURE [Under Attack]", by Tim LaHaye, copyright 1998, Page 197. The gathering of the Church is described at the end of 1 Thess. Chapter 4, and the timing of the event is found in chapter 5. The word “But” in the first verse of chapter 5 connects the two chapters, and the words “we” and “sleep” in verse 10 of chapter 5 prove the two chapters are connected.
Well then, you can know for sure, simply read your Bible. Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 is Jesus telling us what to expect and the sequence of events. Acts 1:9-11 and Galatians 3:28 help as well.
Glad I found this podcast, my wife amd I are enjoying your knowledge. This house is baptized in jesus name and filled with the holy spirit, and we home school our children soon to be three so we can make sure the foundation of the truth about jesus is with them. Definitely excited to find this channel amd follow along with your messages
Only one can be right. Pretribulation rapture is correct. Because comfort one another with these words. Once you believe and trust in Jesus, you are saved.
@@jamesfleming7671 And your view is Biblical? He is giving all the views. This in years past was never a issue of accusing right or wrong. It is not a salvation issue. But in the last 15 years or more there has been an evil attack on those that believe in Pre Trib, people acting as though they are God, or more correctly Satan. There is evidence going back to 160ad of teaching for the Pre Trib Rapture. Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
I think the ancient Jewish wedding as described in scripture has influenced a countless number of Christians that the Pre Trib is overwhelmingly the most logical. I don't recall seeing so many posts regarding the ancient wedding until the last 5 years or so. There are many of them now. I have reviewed quite a few and personally like the post by Theo Heartsill the best so far. Perry Stone. [Stone does a re-enactment of the whole process which makes it easy for the family to watch. Of course, you decide what you conclude!
I have heard it taught ever since I became Born Again in 1983. That is longer than 5 years. I have done much research about the subject, and have found evidence going back to 160ad.
@@Costumekiller Pre Trip makes perfect sense when you find out the purpose of the tribulation, and who it is for. It also makes perfect sense when you study all the times through the Bible that God took His people far from where He (God) was to display His wrath. The flood was God's wrath, Noah was removed from suffering that wrath. Sodom and Gomorrah was God's wrath, Lot was removed from suffering that wrath. The Tribulation is God's wrath upon the whole earth far worse than has ever happened before. And God removes His bride the Church, before the suffering. The tribulation is about Israel not the Church. It is called in the OT as Jacob's trouble, not the Church's trouble. The wedding feast of the lamb takes place in Heaven while the tribulation is happening on earth, the Church better be at the wedding feast. And there is so much more. Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Rapture is at the Last Trump, so when is the last Trump? 1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
In bible school ,these 3 theories are being taught and should not be the cause of dissentients or grievances❤Let us all study the prophesy and Be ready for the coming of the Lord Jesus❤
Bro Bernard, you just read in scripture when the catching away of the saints happens. At the end of the seventh trumpet. John identifies the events of it clearly; and, the events prior to. To understand the events we end up post rapture, therefore fulfilling Rev. 20:4. It is church members that refuse to worship the beast or his image and receive their reward for doing so.
Very interesting point. We know that 1 Thess 4:15-18 is unquestionably true however I personally think that this so called doctrine of The Rapture at best (to be kind) is questionable. Personally I just assumed for many years that it was right as the Christian leaders endorsed it. However about a year ago the Lord put it in my heart to study the book of revelation which I have been doing since and have yet to find any scripture to support this so called Rapture , on the other hand I read rev 18:4 where God is telling His people to come out of Babylon whom He is about to judge. This occurs after the 7th vial is poured out ( who are these people) if the church is already gone? And who are the people who refuse to take the mark? God help us. We must study to show ourselves approved unto God not man rightly dividing the word of truth in our case that’s the Bible.
Ah yes, the great U-Turn. 2 Thess. 2:7-10 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. "He who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way" is talking about the Church. The Church and the prayers of the saints is what is keeping the Anti Christ from appearing. AS it says the Church will be taken away, then the Anti Christ will appear.

Throughout scripture, the Jews are referred to as the “chosen” and “elect” (Isaiah 43:10,20 45:4 for instance), and as you know, the Jews have been a “SCATTERED” people… *Neh 1:8* “…I will SCATTER you abroad among the nations”. *Ez **5:10* “…and the whole remnant of thee will I SCATTER into ALL THE WINDS” *Ez **17:21* “…and they that remain shall be SCATTERED toward all winds…” *Zech 2;6* “…for I have SPREAD you abroad AS THE FOUR WINDS of the heaven, saith the LORD.” Even Peter speaks of the Jews having been SCATTERED, and refers to them as the “ELECT”… *I Pet 1:1,2* “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers SCATTERED throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, *ELECT* according to the foreknowledge of God the Father…”. Furthermore... *Deut 7:6* “God hath CHOSEN thee to be a special people unto himself” *Deut 14:2* “The LORD hath CHOSEN thee to be a peculiar people unto Himself”I *I Chr **16:13* “O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his CHOSEN ones!” *Ps **33:12* “The people whom he hath CHOSEN for his own inheritance” *Ps 105:6* “O ye Seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his CHOSEN” *Ps 105:43* “He brought forth his people with joy, and his CHOSEN with gladness” *Ps 135:4* “For the LORD hath CHOSEN Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure” *Isa **43:10* “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have CHOSEN…” *Isa **43:20* “…I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my CHOSEN” *Isa 45:4* “For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine ELECT…” *Isa 65:9* “I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob… mine ELECT shall inherit it” *Isa 65:22* “… the days of my people, and mine ELECT shall long enjoy the work of their hands” The entire passage _S C R E A M S_ Jews...there's NOTHING in it about us.
@@Kman. 2 who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit,to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: This are christian Jews 😆 Matthew 24:3 Jesus was teaching disciples ( church) not to Jews
How is anyone "getting saved during the Tribulation" if the church is gone and the Holy Spirit with it? Problems like this are why I began to study the "pre-Trib" position and found it is not supported by the body of Scripture.
It takes honesty to admit what Jesus said when the timing of His coming would be according to Matthew and Mark's record. Two witnesses that Jesus said His return is after the Tribulation. All other discussions about pre and mid are worthless.
It’s not scriptural. People just want an excuse to escape the tribulation but the day is coming when they will have to live through it and I fear for them because they believe no hardship is coming to their life.
Who says the Holy Spirit is gone? He's "gone" only in the sense that believers are gone & that's where He resides, but the Spirit is God, and He is *O M N I P R E S E N T.*
I love it when people who teach false theology try and say the Scripture is not clear on a subject then just start inserting their presuppositions into the text. Revelation 12:7 tells you exactly who the restrainer is. It's not the Holy Spirit, and it's not Jesus, it's Michael. You are forced to interpret the restrainer as the Holy Spirit to justify imminence theology. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 is directly confronting the whole idea of imminence theology and calling it wrong. Paul goes so far as to say make sure no one is deceiving you. Meaning people will try and deceive you on this topic. You have to completely ignore very clear verse in order to buy into this whole lie of imminence. Just one example would be Rev 13:7. How can the beast make war with the saints and over come them if they are not here? Nope, we're not going to interpret scripture using clear verses, we're going to use vague statements like God has not appointed us to wrath. This is the same twisted logic that people try and use to get 3 days and nights from Friday evening till Sunday morning. Just basic logic and simple math, but nope we're just going to confuse people and do our own pagan thing.
What is the next event on Gods end time calendar? All believers should be watching for the Antichrist to visit the Middle East and begin gathering the support of ten nations (horns) surrounding Israel! Dan. 7:7-8, 20, Rev. 17:13-14)
Thank you so very much for making the complicated, simple and easy to understand and thank you so very much getting straight to the point put in a good information. God bless you in Jesus name.
What's most important is to be spiritually ready to meet our Maker, whether at death or at His return, but it's also important to pray that God help us understand endtime prophecies. I strongly believe that the Bible does not teach 2 second comings of Jesus, as taught by pre-trib and post-trib views. The Lord's coming from heaven and resurrection of the saints at the last trump of God in 1 Cor 15:51-54 & 1 Thess 4:116-17 is the same as the coming of the Son of man in the clouds immediately after the great tribulation (which will last for 3 & a half yrs, NOT 7 yrs) in Matt 24:15-31, Mk 13:14-27, Lk 21:20-28. Then He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet (the same last trump) to gather together His elect from all nations and all generations, Jews and Gentiles alike. This is the first resurrection, which is the resurrection of the just and the righteous, which will include all who died in Christ and of those who are alive and remain in Christ until His coming (1 Thess 4:15-17); the Martyrs of Rev 6:9-11; the 144,000 Jews who are sealed in Rev 7:1-8; the multitude from all nations who came out of Great Tribulation in Rev 20:4-6 & Rev 7:13-17-; and the 2 Witnesses in Rev 11:7-12. Revelation 20:6 - Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Revelation 20:5 - But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. (This is the resurrection of the unrighteous and the unjust.)
Pre trib is not teaching 2 second comings. Jesus doesn't come back to earth for the Rapture, but calls the Church to Him. You twist what is taught. 2 Thess. 2:7-10 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. "He who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way" is talking about the Church. The Church and the prayers of the saints is what is keeping the Anti Christ from appearing. AS it says the Church will be taken away, then the Anti Christ will appear. Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

If the bride is in heaven celebrating what is the purpose of salvation during the tribulation. If the bride is complete what body do the saints of the tribulation constitute? Are they Jew and Gentile in this time who are being saved not Christ's and are not all those in Christ one and one body?
Absolutely love this pastor and it definitely matters if you believe in the Rapture or not because it's true it will take place before the day of the Lord another event seven years when the tribulation starts
huge difference between tribulation which means trouble, and the wrath of God, Christian pastors have this confused, his very disciples did not escape tribulation or trouble to the end of their life, it is wishful thinking that the church will escape this kind of trouble, if the saints of God are gone around the 5th chapter and you take Revelations in chronological order as this man suggest, then why does revelations still talk about the saints in much later chapters and referring to them as being patience with the time at hand, Revelation 14 for example
In all due respect, I admire Brother Bernard and mean no ill will. It takes honesty to admit what Jesus said when the timing of His coming would be according to Matthew and Mark's record. Two witnesses that Jesus said His return is after the Tribulation. Luke John and Paul agree with Jesus. The last trumpet is the 7th trumpet according to scripture. That is at Armageddon. All other discussions about pre and mid are worthless.
Mathew..24: 29-30 ..says immediately after the tribulation of thoes days. Not to say anything against this is a great coverage of pre and mid trib but not much about post...
There is only one second coming. Not a third coming. What we call a rapture is the second coming per scripture. Jesus said he would gather his elect after the great tribulation, not before.
Proof of A Pre trib Rapture. Pay Attention to the cloud and Cloud's Jesus appears in and With. Acts chapter 1 verses 9 10 11 Cloud. In Red Luke chapter 21 verses 27 and 28 Jesus is coming in A Cloud the Rapture. In Revelation chapter 1 verse 7 Jesus is coming With the Clouds when he comes back to the MT of Olives the second coming
Matthew 24 is clear. It amazes me how hard people make it. This is why I appreciate faith hero’s such as Bro Irvin Baxter. I respect bro Bernard but he’s all over the place, trying to please everyone. Some of these teachings are questionable. People better know the word and be praying.
Yes I like how it says in Matthew 24 that the coming of the Son of Man will be like the days of Noah. Noah was safe in the ark with his family before the distruction came. Matthew 24 is a great pre-trip chapter!
First I'll clarify I am a post trib believer. However, I think it sounds like he's all over the place bc he really doesn't think on this topic very much bc he is concentrated on salvation and winning souls more than arguing about when the rapture happens. That is our calling as the elect, and his last statement clarifies his feelings on this topic.
I thought pre trib. teaching is agreed upon and shared among all Apostolic Oneness believer, as it is to where i'm from too, also for some part of our fundamental teaching has a strong relevant connection to it. But i'm being troubled that before watching this video i've seen one of our very own Oneness Pastor in youtube sayin pre trib. teaching is wrong. which i think someone has to addressed about it, and the reason why i'm thankful for this video. For Most of the time We don't care much if it comes from other denominational group whether it be a post, mid or etc. i personally think that it is very wrong to state that it doesn't matters whether it is pre, mid or post. Because it matters especially for Oneness believers, if not matters then why the LORD gave us Warning so we can be prepared the same is true in today's modern world
What should matter most to you is what God's Word says. Read Acts 1:9-11, then Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. This is Jesus telling us what to expect and the sequence of events. Pay close attention to verses 29-31 in Matthew and 24-27 in Mark and 25-27 in Luke.
Understand that this is when we are changed as we meet the Lord in the air...then the earth is cleansed of all wickedness. It does make sense! We aren't appointed to God's wrath! We are removed from this. Read Rev 14:14-20 it happens in a moment. Jesus teaches it in Matthew 24:29-31

I'm honestly really surprised at how many, especially Bro Bernard, preachers still believe a pre-trib. I can't even see how anyone could believe pre anymore, every argument gets rebutted in my mind by what the Scripture actually says. Shrug, oh well, just be ready bc you never know when He will take you bc you are not promised tomorrow.

How do you explain all the MARTYRS THROUGHOUT the later chapters of the Book of Revelation who are "BEHEADED" for refusing the Mark of the Beast ? The "Elders" worshipping God in heaven in the early chapters of Revelation does NOT necessarily represent ALL believers - it NEVER says such a thing.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4: ■ "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4)
2 THESS 2 " Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." Paul makes it clear here that we will not be gathered to our Lord Jesus Christ until the son of perdition sits in the temple of God and showing himself to be God. This happens during the tribulation and the pre- tribulation rapture teaching is false and misleading many Christians down the wrong road.
What about Matthew 24:29-31 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Jesus said after the Tribulation HE will come & his Angles shall gather the elect. Revelation 13:7 Talks about the AntiChrist “making war with the saints & to overcome them.” So how can the saints be in heaven & be overcome by the Beast? Post Trib seems realistic. Acts 14:22 states “that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom God!
The verses he read from Corinthians says, At the last trump. This shows that it is after the tribulation. In another place Jesus says that AFTER THE TRIBULATIO of those days shall the son of man return.
So, you're wanting to skate thru nearly the *E N T I R E* dialogue to extract THREE words to find & craft support for a narrative? RU kidding me? That's rhetorical, because SADLY you are, but you see, in skating thru the passage, you've skipped over the *E N T I R E* context, & it's NOT the rapture of the church, *SMH.*
Paul wrote to the Thessalonian Church, and to the Corinthian Church, 1 Thessalonians 4, at the catching away of the Church, there will be a Trumpet Sounding, in 1 Corinthians 15:52 Paul specifies which Trumpet it would be, he said it will happen at the “LAST TRUMP”, we know there are 7 Trumpets mentioned in Revelations, in Revelation 11:15 the 7th Trumpets begins the 1000 year Reign of our Lord with the Church, after the Tribulation. In the Book of Daniel chapter 12:11-12 it gives such a Profound time line of End Time Events, it gives the last 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation period, but then in verse 12 The Angel is telling Daniel “BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES TO THE 1335 DAYS”. There are 45 days from the end of the Tribulation to the Blessed Time the Angel speaks about to Daniel, I would say the Catching away of the Church will happen during this 45 day span, the Lord Jesus said we could not know the day or the hour, but Daniel 12:10, the wicked shall do wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand, but the Wise shall understand. The Church will understand.
When the 2 witnesses are called up that's the 1st resurrection or rapture of the dead in Christ 1st then we who are alive and remain. It's not about knowing the day or the hour but the event

Brother Bernard, please explain how in Rev 20:4 Saints die , by being beheaded for resisting the mark of the beast. How can they face the mark of the beast if they are raptured before the tribulation? These Saints are killed and reign with Christ in the 1000 yr millineal reign.
"SAINTS" is not a technical word. During the tribulation, _MAAAAANY_ come to faith, and therefore would be labeled "saints". You seem to infer that only NT believers are referred to as "saints"...am I correct?
Rev 13:16 Mark of beast. Revelation..A lifting of the veil to bring into view what is alreády there! Symbolism & imagery play a significant role throughout the book. "The mark of the beast" - the currency of sin-consciousness. Rev 13:16 "Its mission WAS to mirror-imprint its character upon everyone's hands and minds in order to manipulate what they think and do". So what is the mark of the beast all about 🤔 The Greek word translated mark, is the word "charagma", a stamp, an imprinted mark from "charax", just like in Hebrew 1:1-3.. the Son radiates the character of the Father. Either the character of the Father or the character of the fallen mind will influence our actions (hand), because it is what engages our thoughts (forehead). Just like in Isaiah 55:8-11 where God says "Yr thoughts are not My thoughts; therefore yr ways are not My ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than yr ways and.. but My word will incarnate, and saturate earth (flesh) just like the rain and the snow cancel the distance between heaven and earth. Instead of the thorn, the fir and instead of the brier, the myrtle! - The Mirror Study Bible - Francois du Toit.
@@Kman. wait a min... since Christ shed His blood on the cross the only way for anyone to he saved is to be in the one body of Jesus Christ which scripture states is the church. These saints per SOUND scripture are the church
In those 3 1/2 years there will be the 6th trumpet war .maybe before 3billion people will die the mark will be mandated millions more will die from starvation those who refuse the mark will be kill head chopped then the rapture will save those who remain we are now in a wicked time it's real close
Rapture Rev 3:10Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Rapture was taught by some early Church fathers. Ephraim said this in his work "On the Last Times V. 2" around 300AD: "For all the saints and elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins. " Why did Irenaeus (John's Disciple) say this in 130 AD; "And therefore, when in the end the Church shall be suddenly caught up from this, it is said, “There shall be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning, neither shall be.” (2)" Rapture or Caught Up: *Jesus meets us(the Church) in the air, 1Ths 4:17 *The Lord comes by Himself, 1Ths 4:16 *the Day of Christ, 2Ths 2:2/Phi 1:6,10/Phi 2:16 * The Day of the Lord 1 Ths 5:1-9 (9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ) 2nd coming: *Jesus sets foot on the earth, Zec 14:1-5/Rom 11:26,27 *The Lord comes with His angels, Mat 25:31/Mat 24:29-31/Mat 16:27 *the Day of the Lord, 1Ths 5:2/2Pet 3:10 >>>Mat 24:36-44 is the 2nd coming, the Day of the Lord as a thief in the night.
Don’t be deceived by all the talk of the rapture. Jesus is not going to snatch up Christians suddenly and mysteriously. Instead, at a time when no one knows, the world will suddenly end and all will be ushered into judgment (see 2 Peter 3:10). Following false teaching will not help you then! We urge you to study these things further (see Acts 17:11). If you find the rapture to be out of step with New Testament teaching then give it up and seek the way of the Lord as revealed only in the scriptures.
The account of John Darby was from a dream that a young girls had. When you examine the issue you find it was talking about Post Tribulation , not pre trib. So when you try to say that pre trib wasn't taught until 1850, that is wrong. Post trib wasn't taught until 1850. There are letters dating back to 160ad on the topic of pre trib rapture. Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
I love listening to brother Bernard, his wisdom is amazing. But on this subject I disagree, I believe the Bible is very clear that the rapture is at the end of the tribulation. Good conversation though.
Revelations 20 - 4 says that these saints were beheaded for NOT taking the mark. They have to be here in order to be beheaded for not taking the mark. Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Matthew 24-22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 29 IMMEDIATLEY AFTER THE TRIBULATIONS of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 AND THEN....and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Knowledge of truth is the primary safeguard against deception. The elect must know, and they must learn to test and prove the spirits until they do know what is of God and what is of Satan. The words of the Master, Take heed, I have told you, plainly imply that personal knowledge of danger is part of the Lord's way of guarding His own. Those who blindly rely upon the keeping power of God without seeking to understand how to escape deception, when forewarned to take heed by the Lord, will surely find themselves entrapped by the subtle foe. It's so important to get revelation from the scriptures and not man, or the traditions of man! There is only 1 Second coming of Jesus Christ! Jesus only teaches 2 resurrections! One resurrection of the righteous and 1 resurrection of the unrighteous. John 5:28-29 Blessed is he who takes place in the 1st resurrection! If there is only 1 resurrection of the righteous when does it have to take place for ALL the saints to be included? Can't be 7 years before the tribulation. It has to be at the end for ALL the saints to receive a new glorified body. Please seek the Lord in His Holy Word and His Spirit shall lead into all truth. 1 John 2:27! God Bless!
There are some who have already been tested and will be Accounted Worthy (Luke 21:36) to be translated/caught up before the time of trial written about in Revelation 3:10. They are the 1st fruits of the harvest. They are also found in Revelation 12:5. (The manchild) Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. The main Harvest will be kept through the time of trial. There is an example of this in Daniel Chapter 3 (the 3 hebrews in the fiery furnace) They were kept through the fire because Jesus was with them.
Why would the rest of scripture all use female metaphors to describe the church, ie., "her", "the woman", "the bride" and then suddenly use "he" to refer to the church in 2 Thess. 2? That verse is def. not talking about the church. Its the Ruach (Set apart Spirit, aka the "Holy Ghost") that restrains. This is why the adversary has to ask permission as we see in Job.
the only people who go to be with Christ before His second coming are those who die in Christ before He returns. those are the ones who return with Him, and those of us that remain will be caught up when Jesus returns.
It seems to me that the Bride of Christ mirror the Jewish customs of the marriage ceremony. Three phases. The betrothal agreement. The brides approval. The bridegroom’s return for His bride. No groom would pour out his wrath upon his own bride, just prior to the wedding ceremony. Makes no sense. In my opinion. He loves her too much.
There's not a clear reference to the rapture in Matthew? Oh really? Matthew chapter 24 is fairly clear about the matter, and the words come from Jesus Christ himself. When Jesus says, "immediately after the tribulations of those days" he would send his angels to gather his elect from the 4 winds. Not 7 years before. Not 3.5 years before. Immediately after, means Immediately after.
Matthew 24:31 “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” King James Version (KJV) Again: "from one end of heaven to the other.” ---they are gathered from heaven returning with the LORD at this time, IMMEDIATELY AFTER the tribulation.
It's good to hear what you say, but that's how the foolish virgins were left at the wedding because they lacked the oil and they didn't know the time of the bridegroom's arrival. They were not ready. while the women were looking for oil the bridegroom came and left them. Being ready is being prepared for the word. all pre-mid-post concepts cannot be believed because only one will truly happen and the bride must know it. because if she/church doesn't know she will be left behind and face tribulation before wearing the white robe.
Reading your Bible will clarify once and for all. Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 is Jesus telling us(His disciples) what to expect and the sequence of events . Pay close attention to verses 29-31 in Matthew and 24-27 in Mark and 25-27 in Luke.
Around the beginning of August 2023, God gave me these words. To all believers in Jesus Christ, "WARNING, there is a final push by the enemy to discredit the Pre-Rapture of the body of Christ," The body of Christ will not go through the tribulation period. Jesus promised to take the believers to his Father’s house in heaven. The Rapture is our hope, so look for his coming and PURIFY YOURSELVES, for he is pure. St. John 14:1-4 1 John 3:1-3 St. John 17:24
scripture says=no one shall know the day or Hour=Next verse to christians, But unto you Brethen, you are not in dardkness as others are in Darkness that day should catch you unawares. I truely believe the church will leave planet earth some time before the end of the Ezekiel war of chapters 38,39 because the 7 years Israel burns the weapons of war is also the 7year great tribulation
Stranger than fiction? The 3rd day prophesy is found in John, and confirmed in both Matthew and Mark. These references are below. Briefly upon the 1st Passover after Jesus baptism He spoke to the rulers in the temple and said, “Destroy this Temple and in 3 days I will raise it again.” The rulers knowing Herod’s temple took many years to erect decried the statement. John and other gospel writers said it referred to Christ crucifixion and resurrection… But another interpretation seems justified based on events prophesied in book of Revelation. For in Revelation 21:22-23 is written: And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Strangely the above event happens after the 1000Year millennium reign. If one God-day is 1000years, then 3 days or 3000 years from Christ resurrection would be somewheres between 3030AD and 3033AD, depending upon year of the cross. Subtracting back the 1,000yrs millennium and 7 years trib time is April 2023 to April 2026… refs John 2:19-21 Matthew 27:39-41 Mark 14:58 & 15:29 also Hosea 6:2
Dr. Bernard, What is your response to the Preterist theologians who declare that the Coming of Christ in the Olivet Discourse (Matt 24) took place in their generation at the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.? For example, in Matt 24, after Jesus spoke of His coming in the clouds of heaven to gather together His elect (vs. 31) He then states “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (34) Can you please make sense of how we can stretch verse 34 into two thousand years into the present 21st century? How can we logically explain the time statements of Christ when He said their generation would see all those eschatological events? Also, can you also interpret for us the following passage: “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” - Matt. 16:27-28 The Presterist interpret this as Jesus declaring His coming and final judgment to occur before some of them standing there would die - namely, in 70 AD at the destruction of Jerusalem. Your response is appreciated. Kind regards
No matter what you believe; pre,mid or post we MUST always be ready for His return and have our lamps filled with oil. Stay in prayer and fasting and look up because our time draws near.
Great. Thanks sir Bernard. Rapturo in Latin
Great teaching. Worth learning. Excellent exposition of the LORD's soon return. Be warned. Be ready. obey Acts 2:38. Repent of your sins. Be HOLY GHOST filled. Live a holy, separated life. Keep winning souls. Keep self in the love of GOD.
Only, if you believe in that stuff, uou are not reading and understanding scripture....and wosre, you are deceiving people. No, no rapture, no pre-trib or and of those lies.

Thank you so much this channel gives me so much encouragement. I’m a single mother struggling to provide for my two autistic sons both non verbal.
I’m so overwhelmed. I’ve been put down, called horrible names, and mocked by others even my own family just because of my situation. I lost my job over declining the vaccine. I declined due to my pre existing health conditions (Lupus) and heart failure. I have no family or friends to turn to. Struggling facing homelessness with two children. is scary. My husband passed away three years ago. I miss him dearly. Me and the children are still coping with his passing. Please keep me in your prayers. Every month is stressful. Im so ashamed my and embarrassed about my situation. Holding on dearly to my faith. I know Our Heavenly Father will provide for me and my children. Praise Jesus! walking by faith not by sight!
Amen! I respect you for sharing your personal situation and holding on so dearly to your faith during your time of adversity. Even though you have not been treated so well by your family, I would not forget to fellowship especially with people in the church. Not only will they be able to pour into you and your situation, but you will also be a testimony for them and be able to encourage others. Have a blessed week, Mousey!
That is great faith in the
Almighty who is in control of our lives and everything else. Keep on being persuaded by the Word and his promises for they are true. I am going through a horrible accusation but I have faith and trusting in HIM that HE will deliver me from this situation for HE is the ONE that fights our battles when we call upon his name (jesus) for HE only knows how to triumph. Keep that great faith and focus totally in HIM and I believe He will pour down of his blessings upon you and your children. Keep praying for I will pray for you and your kids. I have been a Pentecostal for 29-30 years. HE is already blessing you and your kids.
Yes sister! Remember what we're going too, even when we fight in this life! God is for us not against us!
Revelation 21:4 KJV - And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Where do you live? I’m a single mom in Canada with a special needs child and understand your situation immensely! It feels so alone at times but you are not alone. Others of us out there battling in similar ways.
Yes hallelujah praise God, Jesus is our blessed hope, our wonderful counselor and our great physician, I pray Holy Father you bless this family, and may all their needs be met in the name of Jesus Christ💖⚘
I appreciate the attitude of Dr. Bernard towards those that differ on when the rapture will occur.
Come soon Lord Jesus and rapture us your people who're called by your name. Amen 🙏🙌
The key here is at the sound of the LAST trumpet!!
Yes the last TRUMP;-)
the last of 7 trumpets occur at the end of the 7 year time of the end. The 7th trumpet blast occurs on the first day of God's seventh month which is God's Feast of Trumpets, at which time Christ returns to earth as KING of Kings, this is -- the first resurrection found in Revelations 20.
7 is God's number of spiritual perfection.
Mathew 24:29-31 ,40-42 Luke 17:34-36 immediately after the great tribulation
It does matter we must understand the correct timing of the rapture remember even the elect can be deceived God bless you brother David Barnard
NO, Matthew 24:24,"were it possible, even the very elect would be deceived."
Agree with the rest.
We don't have time to play games or fight over this endtime ministries is right on time if you want missed the rapture go ahead but we believe the rapture will takes place immediately after the great tribulation I am ready for the rapture John 3 3 5 Acts 2 4 Acts 2:38-39 apply the Lord 's prayer to every part of your life you don't have anything to worried about
@@donnaleveron6511 Yeap, that is why it is important to look for Jesus and live in holiness. Holiness means set apart, there are a lot of things as Christians we do, we just follow tendencies that in one way or another changes our perception. You can see how a lot of churches now accept movements that are completely anti biblical, same with drugs, etc that are playing a key role in deceiving Christians. Most people thinks that we will see when we will be deceived but as Peter He did not know that denied Christ until it happened, same is happening. Satan is the greatest deceiver
Yes, whether we like it or not “The KING is coming back for HIS BELOVED”
It's actually crystal clear in 1st Corinthians 15:51 through 58,please read , at the last trumpet and not until then.
And Jesus is also crystal clear that this generation shall not pass until all be fulfilled and then He will come immediately after the tribulation of those days and gather us together.
This generation? which generation? The generation Jesus was speaking to? The Church wasn't born yet. He was talking to the Jews. The tribulation is about the Jews.
Correct. Pre trib is a false doctrine and can easily be dismantled by scripture. WE DO NOT INTERPRET SCRIPTURE. SCRIPTURE INTERPRETS SCRIPTURE
And post trib can easily be interpreted in scripture as the truth. Be ready but also let NO MAN deceive you.
@@hargisP2 Jesus was talking about the generation that sees all the birth pangs that he was just talking about. Obviously if Jesus was referring to the generation that he was talking to, then it did not come to pass and he was wrong. So we know it was not that current generation.
Saying hello from Thibodaux Louisiana. I want to thank you for these podcasts . I have been raised up in the church but went away from God but never have I forgot where I come from. Thank God I have been on the road back to Him and am so thankful for His love, mercy and grace!!!
I appreciate these podcasts, and incorporate it into my daily devotionals. It has helped me and strengthened me through rough times when I’ve doubted my very own beliefs. Thank you so much Bro Bernard. I thank God for you!! May God continue to bless your ministry in Jesus name !!
Love it, Father help us all to be ready when you come!!
When will believers be snatched up to be with the Lord..Come quickly Lord Jesus come.
I am listening here from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 and like your teaching on the Rapture of the Believers and coming back to Earth with Him after the Tribulation Period. I think this Generation is the Last Fig Tree Generation 🌳 which Christ Jesus stands at the Door 🚪 to recieve us into Heaven for the Wedding Banquet and return to Earth with Him to establish God's Millennium Kingdom. Love your teaching message of hope.
I'm a child of the King and l wanna go home.,,,,, amen.
God bless Rev. David Bernard
Amen and Amen. The important thing is to always be ready to meet the Lord. Matthew 25, Revelation 2,3

@@Praise___YaH thank you for sharing this! Jesus is LORD! I personally see post-tribulation catching away all throughout scripture but no one is promised tomorrow and that's why we are all living day to day by God's great grace unless He has given promises that have yet to be fulfilled and then we can bank on continuing to live until those promises come to pass. That's why it is written that today is the day of salvation. This is for not only those who have not been born again but also those who have. Every day we must make sure our hearts are right with God before we go onto be with the Lord.
@@Praise___YaH Deluded. Stop spreading lies. 🤧🥴😎
Meet The Lord IN THE (AIR)? IN CYBER (SPACE). ON (INTERNET). And (SO/IN "THIS" WAY) Shall We (FOREVER) BE WITH THE LORD. We Are (NOT) Going To (FLY AROUND IN THE SKY) FOREVER WITH JESUS.
I think Luke 21:36 is another clue to a pre-trib rapture. After Jesus speaks of the end times and tribulation v. 36 says:
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. -Luke 21:36
We must be ready so we will be found worthy to ESCAPE those things.
Actually strong case for pre-trib.
If you believe in pre-trib, make sure you will be ready for tribulation if it comes lest you fall away
If anyone is ready, it’s pretrib believers
@@yo-nq8vm they are the least ready. NOt doing anything to prepare, just waiting to be called up.
@@TheRuggedWay and this you know how????
There is no rapture. Read John 17:15. Jesus praying in the garden: "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil." KJV
Pre trib is a false doctrine according to II Thess 2:1-4. It can be easily dismantled by scripture.
God bless you Bishop. I love listening to all your podcasts. It fills my humble Heart And Soul. ❤😊😊
What a great man of God...it is good to hear wise words in this time. Thank you
God bless you, Rev. David Bernard🙌
You sound gorgeous
Thank you Bishop Bernard
Thank You Bro. Bernard for your views on this subject. I would like to add that the adversary of mankind has even now stated that men can give birth. O' My Dear Lord God, what wickedness there is in our times. I truly believe the Lord Jesus is coming so very soon to take his followers of his out of this sinful world.
Amen. It's a beautiful explanation 👌 stay blessed in Jesus' name 🙌 🙏 ❤️
“And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.” (Matt. 8:26)
O ye of little faith, why would anyone who truly believes in Christ fear the tribulation or even death for that matter? To live is Christ to die is gain (Philip. 1:21). Don’t you have the Holy Spirit, the seal of God (Eph. 1:13) in you? O ye of little faith!
Once upon a time, I was a false convert for 53 years (I thought I knew God as many other false denominations claim when in fact, I knew nothing), but the Lord in his mercy, sent his Holy Spirit as I humbled myself before him and truly repented of my sins. As a testament of his mighty power, the Lord rescued the sinner that I was from the bondage of sin and 3 near death experiences (Covid-pre vaccine, a major heart attack and severe blood poisoning and no I didn’t see visions of God or Christ as so many falsely claim). Not only did he restore my spiritual blindness, I was told by medical experts in October 2020 that I would be completely blind by January 2021, yet, by the power and grace of God, it’s September 2023 and this blind man can see so that I could be his witness to his word of truth and defend it. Praise God Almighty!
Don’t be deceived! The idea of a seven-year tribulation comes from a misinterpretation of Daniel chapter 9 which is a prophecy about the Messiah, not the antichrist or a seven-year tribulation.
This is what Christ taught. “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.” (John 11:25). Notice how he didn’t say anything about going up to heaven.
Tell me, isn’t Christ the author and finisher of your faith? If this is true, then believe in what Christ himself said for it is written:
“Soon AFTER THE TROUBLE of those days, the sun will grow dark, the moon will no longer shine, the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers in space will be driven from their courses.” (Matt. 24:29)
Christ tells us in his own words, there is no pre-trib rapture up into heaven (or any rapture up into heaven). We will meet him in the clouds/air - the earth's atmosphere at the time of his coming (1 Thess. 4:17).
“THEN the Son of Man WILL APPEAR, COMING in a cloud with great power and glory. WHEN these things BEGIN to happen, STAND UP AND RAISE YOUR HEADS, BECAUSE YOUR SALVATION IS NEAR.” (Luke 21:27-28)
Christ said clearly, “raise your heads because your salvation is near”. Everyone will still be on the earth! This is the 7th / last trumpet (1 Cor. 15:51-52). Christ tells us himself we will be on the earth at his return and the pre-trib rapture is a lie! Scripture can’t be broken (John 10:35). Christ said it and any true Christian should believe what Christ said, not the fabrications and inventions of men or their “eisegesis”. There is no room for debate with the word of God as that would be complete and utter foolishness.
Christ already predicted the world would come up with the foolishness of the rapture to heaven. In his own statement of fact, Christ NEVER advocated the “rapturing” of His followers out of the world to be taken up to heaven for it is written:
“I DO NOT ASK YOU TO TAKE THEM OUT OF THE WORLD, but I do ask you to KEEP THEM SAFE from the Evil One.” (John 17:15) How clear!
Doctrine must come from the Word of God, NOT the teachings of men!
If you go back just one verse in 1 Thessalonians 4 to verse 15 you find the same answer there for it is written:
“ What we are teaching you now is the Lord's teaching: WE WHO ARE ALIVE on THE DAY the LORD COMES WILL NOT GO AHEAD of those who have died.” (1 Thess. 4:15)
Again, according to the word of God, the bodies of the dead have to come out of their grave first which is when the Lord appears - the 7th /last trumpet. Are you ready to go through 6 trumpet judgements? You better have saving faith! Are you ready?
One of the greatest problems with the rapture up to heaven is that heaven is not, and has never been, the reward of the saved. Christ said, “The meek shall inherit the earth” (Matt. 5:5). The promise of the saved is eternal life (John 3:16). If you read the Bible for yourself like I did, you will find there isn’t one single Bible verse that says we “go up to heaven” (the throne of God). Not a single one!
Christ said scripture can’t be broken (John 10:35) and here it is again for it is written:
“For evildoers shall be cut off;
But THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD,
THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH.
For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.
But THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” (Psalm 37:9-11)
Now open your Bible and read all of Psalm 37. You will find your answer there.
Still don’t believe in the word of God? It is written:
“Heaven belongs to the Lord ALONE, but he gave the earth to us humans” (Psalm 115:16)
“The meek shall inherit the earth” (Matt. 5:5). This is what Christ taught about the kingdom of God just as it is stated in Psalm 37 (read all of it). The promise is eternal life not going up to heaven (John 3:16, Matt 19:16-17). Nowhere in these statements of fact by Christ is going up to heaven mentioned. It is the kingdom OF heaven not kingdom IN heaven. The word OF being paramount as it denotes possession not location. God’s kingdom will be here on earth (Rev. 21)
The gospel is about the coming Kingdom of God. The prophesied Messiah would come, rescue his people and claim his kingdom here on earth. Nowhere in the gospel does it say he takes anyone up to heaven. Nowhere! Believing in any rapture up into heaven (God’s throne) is a false gospel taught by a “different Jesus” (2 Cor. 11:4) as Christ and scripture clearly explain.
Those who hold to the rapture up to heaven theory believe, in effect, that there is a Second Coming followed by a third coming. The Bible does not in any way substantiate a third coming or a two-phased Second Coming. Here is further proof that there is only one singular Second Coming. It has to do with the first time Christ came to the Earth and how He left after He was resurrected. What happened? It is written:
“After saying this, he was taken up to heaven as they watched him, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They still had their eyes fixed on the sky as he went away, when two men dressed in white suddenly stood beside them and said, “Galileans, why are you standing there looking up at the sky? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way that you saw him go to heaven. Then the apostles went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is about half a mile away from the city.” (Acts 1:9-12)
The DEAD in Christ will RISE FIRST (1 Thess. 4:16-17) so the apostles will see Christ coming down from heaven to Mt. Olives just as the angels said He would. Then they will meet him in the clouds/air (1 Thess. 4:17). Scripture can’t be broken (John 10:35). It is also written:
“He will COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, through the CLOUDS, and will SET DOWN ON THE Mount of Olives just outside Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:4).” Where in this verse or Revelation 19 does it say Christ turns around and goes back to heaven? Nowhere!
Christ reveals to the apostle John in Revelation 19:11-21 that He will not return meekly or unnoticed to this earth. His return will be witnessed by the whole world whose kings and armies (verse 19) will gather to battle against Him and his saints will be with him (Rev. 17:14). Christ will lead us into battle just like he did so many times in the Old Testament. “I am the Lord, I do not change” (Micah 3:6).
There is no whisking of Christians off to heaven, but Christ’s chosen along with heaven’s armies will be involved in the most terrible battle in man's history (Rev. 19:11-21). The message is reiterated in Ezekiel Chapters 37-39 with the same sequence of events. Go back to the Book of Joshua (Yeshua) and read the Fall of Jericho (how is it that so many are so blind).
Christ is descending from heaven to earth to claim his kingdom. We will NOT meet Him up in heaven, but in the atmosphere (clouds/air) of the earth as He is on His way down just as it is written (1 Thess. 4:17.......(continued)
continued......
Now comes the central question of this matter. We have just met Christ in the air! Where do we go from here? Up to heaven or back down to earth? I Thessalonians 4:17 says that we are to be with the Lord forever, but where will the Lord be? Again, many scriptures give the clear answer, but Zechariah 14:4 gives a concise one:
“And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley; half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south.” (Zech14:4). Just like the angels told the apostles in Acts.
Could this be some "heavenly" Mount of Olives? No, it is the one "which faces Jerusalem on the east"! Could it be some "spiritual" Jerusalem? No, Jesus is going to split Mt. Olives in half! Zechariah basically reiterates what is said in Revelation 19:11-21. Go back and read Zechariah Chapter 14 all of it.
Christ will have arrived on earth. Who will be with Him? The second half of Zechariah 14:5 tells us: "Thus the LORD my God will come, and all the saints with You." All the resurrected saints or holy ones will be with Him (Rev. 17:14).
Will He stay on earth? Read Zechariah 14:9: "And the LORD shall be KING OVER ALL THE EARTH. IN THAT DAY IT SHALL BE-'The LORD is one,' and His name one." Yes, Christ is coming to stay and claim what is His! The Kingdom of God and the rewards of the saved are coming with him. Christ made a statement of fact, “Behold, I am coming soon and MY REWARD IS WITH me (Rev. 22:12) and "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." (Matt. 5:5). Don’t you believe in what he said? O ye of little faith!
Christ will come again to earth, this time with His saints and with His army of angels too. He will take His rightful place on His glorious, earthly throne and share power with His saints over the physical nations of the earth (Rev. 2:26-27). Scripture tells us plainly, "And have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth." (Rev. 5:10).
Nowhere in the Bible does it say Christ comes to claim his kingdom to return to heaven again. Nowhere! The Bible tells us those who are living will all be changed at his return; they will become spirit beings. At that time, they don't need to be whisked away to heaven or be rescued from anything that the physical realm might inflict. Spirit beings can't be hurt by physical events, they are IMMORTAL! It therefore makes no sense to think or even suggest that Christ must take anyone to heaven. When you rightly divide the word of God, it’s ridiculous to believe in some man’s invented eisegesis instead of what is actually written in the word of God.
The Spirit already knows that someone is going read this and refute what is clearly written in scripture. They will foolishly cite Matthew 24:40-41. Now, be a good Berean and go back to Matthew 13 and read verses 37-44. Who was taken first and who was left behind? The "tares" [wicked] are taken first. You better hope and pray you are not taken out of the world.
Christ said upon his return it would be like the days of Noah for a reason. Who was taken and who was left behind? The evil ones were taken away in the flood and Noah with his family (God’s chosen) were kept safely in the ark on earth. We see the same story manifest with the plagues of Egypt in Exodus. The Egyptians were affected, the Israelites (God’s chosen) were protected by God and were not afflicted. The fall of Jericho: Rehab and her family (those who helped God secure the victory) were kept in safety while the rest of the city was destroyed. Sodom and Gomorrah: Lot and his family (chosen) were taken to a place of safety while the cities were destroyed. How many times does the Lord have to repeat himself?
Look and look yet you still don’t see?
“and the truth will set you free”” (John 8:32)
Repent for the Kingdom of God is near!
Thank you!
This was explained so very well and lots of Bible verses to back it up PRAISE THE LORD ! He is coming let’s be ready oh! What a day that will be HALLELUJAH 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️Bless Pastor David Bernard & his wife and family
THAT’S A COPOUT to say “No matter what you believe, we must always be ready …” The Word says, "For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?" (ICor14:8 KJV) That means that if you listen to the uncertain doctrines concerning the sequence of events to happen between no sand the Rapture - and beyond … then you’re going to be ill prepared for the great tribulation!
Pre trib, Mid trib, post trib is and never has been an issue for salvation. So for one to say no matter what you believe on this issue you must be ready (prepared). That is not a cop out.
Just be ready. Always
HE could come in the twinkling of an eye. If you are not ready. He will be gone. Be ready at all times.
Excellent, Bro. Bernard! As usual 👏🏽
You must learn the Bible from reading it and learning the truth of his word to better know him.
Matthew 24:29
But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. 31And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET BLAST, and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His [x]elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
It's amazing how it couldn't be any clearer and yet ppl don't see it. We often see what we want to though.
If you have angels blowing trumpets or angels gathering then it instantly disqualifies the Rapture! God blows the Trump of God and then Jesus shouts to gather. That is the sequence! No angels involved
@@CowboysFan777 hmmmm no.
@@CowboysFan777 u show me all the verses u think are "rapture" vs all those u think are "Second Coming" and I'll show u the same event and timing.
@@jasonjohnson3424 Jesus mentioned Days of Noah and Days of Lot and both had an ESCAPE method and then judgment. If you have any other sequence then it's wrong.
I don't think he is answering the question, but he is giving one of the best answers. And another I think dr Bernard should tell the World he is reading Conduct,Order and Doctrine of William Branham
I wish I could hear bro Bernard and bro Baxter discuss this. He was post tribulation. Bro Baxter use to be my pastor but we disagreed on some things but I believe he may of been right on the tribulation. I don't know.
Would definitely love to hear him and bro robins discuss this for sure.
When the 2 witnesses are called up that's the 1st resurrection or rapture of the dead in Christ 1st then we who are alive and remain. It's not about knowing the day or the hour but the event.
Here is the Original Semitic Text. HERE is Our Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
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.
The Capitol "C" Church, as we use the word today, is not found in the entire Book of Revelation. Individual church bodies in ancient Asia Minor are found. In Revelation 12:11 we find those under the blood of the Lamb. A person cannot be under the blood of the Lamb and not be a part of the New Covenant Church of Jesus Christ. Verse 12 of this passage proves at least part of the tribulation period is the wrath of Satan upon the people of God.
Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
"It may come as a surprise to most pre-Trib prophecy students that the post-Trib position (in its primitive form) is the oldest point of view."
The quotation above is from the book "Will You Escape The Tribulation? RAPTURE [Under Attack]", by Tim LaHaye, copyright 1998, Page 197.
The gathering of the Church is described at the end of 1 Thess. Chapter 4, and the timing of the event is found in chapter 5. The word “But” in the first verse of chapter 5 connects the two chapters, and the words “we” and “sleep” in verse 10 of chapter 5 prove the two chapters are connected.
Well then, you can know for sure, simply read your Bible. Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 is Jesus telling us what to expect and the sequence of events. Acts 1:9-11 and Galatians 3:28 help as well.
Great preaching
Believers are sealed unto the day of redemption and saved from the day of wrath.
Glad I found this podcast, my wife amd I are enjoying your knowledge. This house is baptized in jesus name and filled with the holy spirit, and we home school our children soon to be three so we can make sure the foundation of the truth about jesus is with them. Definitely excited to find this channel amd follow along with your messages
Only one can be right. Pretribulation rapture is correct. Because comfort one another with these words. Once you believe and trust in Jesus, you are saved.
I really appreciate this well rounded view.
The guy is wrong. It's not a well rounded view.
@@jamesfleming7671 And your view is Biblical? He is giving all the views. This in years past was never a issue of accusing right or wrong. It is not a salvation issue. But in the last 15 years or more there has been an evil attack on those that believe in Pre Trib, people acting as though they are God, or more correctly Satan. There is evidence going back to 160ad of teaching for the Pre Trib Rapture. Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
AMEN Praise JESUS CHRIST POWERFUL NAME AMEN GOD bless you 🙏🔥✝️
Prayer for me to be with the lord in Jesus name amen
I think the ancient Jewish wedding as described in scripture has influenced a countless number of Christians that the Pre Trib is overwhelmingly the most logical. I don't recall seeing so many posts regarding the ancient wedding until the last 5 years or so. There are many of them now. I have reviewed quite a few and personally like the post by Theo Heartsill the best so far. Perry Stone. [Stone does a re-enactment of the whole process which makes it easy for the family to watch. Of course, you decide what you conclude!
Pre trib doesn't make any sense though.
I have heard it taught ever since I became Born Again in 1983. That is longer than 5 years. I have done much research about the subject, and have found evidence going back to 160ad.
@@Costumekiller Pre Trip makes perfect sense when you find out the purpose of the tribulation, and who it is for. It also makes perfect sense when you study all the times through the Bible that God took His people far from where He (God) was to display His wrath. The flood was God's wrath, Noah was removed from suffering that wrath. Sodom and Gomorrah was God's wrath, Lot was removed from suffering that wrath. The Tribulation is God's wrath upon the whole earth far worse than has ever happened before. And God removes His bride the Church, before the suffering. The tribulation is about Israel not the Church. It is called in the OT as Jacob's trouble, not the Church's trouble. The wedding feast of the lamb takes place in Heaven while the tribulation is happening on earth, the Church better be at the wedding feast. And there is so much more. Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Pre trib for believers mid rapture for 144000 and post trib for those converted during the tribulation. God is good!
There is only 1 Rapture
Yes yes yes . 3 harvest !!! Barley,wheat and grape ... It's scriptural indeed
Pray ...please..for me.depressed,and homeless.
Just saw your request, I pray your situation has been improved by Our Lord and Saviour. Praying for you now.
I know this is late, just saw it. I pray you are ok. Praying for you. Is there anything I can do
Thank you for the clarification. God bless you.
Rapture is at the Last Trump, so when is the last Trump?
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Jesus plainly said that He would gather His elect upon His appearing in the clouds after the great tribulation. Read Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.
Agrees with Acts 1:9-11.
How could the 24 elders include the apostles if John was not dead?
In bible school ,these 3 theories are being taught and should not be the cause of dissentients or grievances❤Let us all study the prophesy and Be ready for the coming of the Lord Jesus❤
Bro Bernard, you just read in scripture when the catching away of the saints happens. At the end of the seventh trumpet. John identifies the events of it clearly; and, the events prior to. To understand the events we end up post rapture, therefore fulfilling Rev. 20:4. It is church members that refuse to worship the beast or his image and receive their reward for doing so.
Very interesting point. We know that 1 Thess 4:15-18 is unquestionably true however I personally think that this so called doctrine of The Rapture at best (to be kind) is questionable. Personally I just assumed for many years that it was right as the Christian leaders endorsed it. However about a year ago the Lord put it in my heart to study the book of revelation which I have been doing since and have yet to find any scripture to support this so called Rapture , on the other hand I read rev 18:4 where God is telling His people to come out of Babylon whom He is about to judge. This occurs after the 7th vial is poured out ( who are these people) if the church is already gone? And who are the people who refuse to take the mark? God help us. We must study to show ourselves approved unto God not man rightly dividing the word of truth in our case that’s the Bible.
Ah yes, the great U-Turn. 2 Thess. 2:7-10 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. "He who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way" is talking about the Church. The Church and the prayers of the saints is what is keeping the Anti Christ from appearing. AS it says the Church will be taken away, then the Anti Christ will appear. Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
I agree there are 3 views in raptures pre trib, mid trib, and post trib. However, Yahusha (Jesus) mention in Matt 24:29-31 it indicate post trib.
*Matt 24* is not about the rapture my friend. Jesus in that passage is dealing with His 2nd coming...we're nowhere to be found in that passage, sorry.
The elect yes the church
@@lookup2351 No sir, "ELECT" is not a technical word.
@@lookup2351 The “ELECT” in *Matt **24:31* is speaking of the *JEWS* who turn to Christ during the tribulation.
Throughout scripture, the Jews are referred to as the “chosen” and “elect” (Isaiah 43:10,20 45:4 for instance), and as you know, the Jews have been a “SCATTERED” people…
*Neh 1:8* “…I will SCATTER you abroad among the nations”.

*Ez **17:21* “…and they that remain shall be SCATTERED toward all winds…”

Even Peter speaks of the Jews having been SCATTERED, and refers to them as the “ELECT”…
*I Pet 1:1,2* “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers SCATTERED throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, *ELECT* according to the foreknowledge of God the Father…”. Furthermore...

How is anyone "getting saved during the Tribulation" if the church is gone and the Holy Spirit with it? Problems like this are why I began to study the "pre-Trib" position and found it is not supported by the body of Scripture.
Holy Ghost has many aspects to it ….
Comforter
Leads us
Salvation
Retrains
The restraining part is lifted at rapture as it was in Noah’s day = gen 6:
It takes honesty to admit what Jesus said when the timing of His coming would be according to Matthew and Mark's record. Two witnesses that Jesus said His return is after the Tribulation. All other discussions about pre and mid are worthless.
It’s not scriptural. People just want an excuse to escape the tribulation but the day is coming when they will have to live through it and I fear for them because they believe no hardship is coming to their life.
@@thetruthsetsyoufree5000 You're making an "Appeal to Emotion"...logical fallacy guy.
Who says the Holy Spirit is gone? He's "gone" only in the sense that believers are gone & that's where He resides, but the Spirit is God, and He is *O M N I P R E S E N T.*
I love it when people who teach false theology try and say the Scripture is not clear on a subject then just start inserting their presuppositions into the text. Revelation 12:7 tells you exactly who the restrainer is. It's not the Holy Spirit, and it's not Jesus, it's Michael. You are forced to interpret the restrainer as the Holy Spirit to justify imminence theology. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 is directly confronting the whole idea of imminence theology and calling it wrong. Paul goes so far as to say make sure no one is deceiving you. Meaning people will try and deceive you on this topic. You have to completely ignore very clear verse in order to buy into this whole lie of imminence. Just one example would be Rev 13:7. How can the beast make war with the saints and over come them if they are not here? Nope, we're not going to interpret scripture using clear verses, we're going to use vague statements like God has not appointed us to wrath. This is the same twisted logic that people try and use to get 3 days and nights from Friday evening till Sunday morning. Just basic logic and simple math, but nope we're just going to confuse people and do our own pagan thing.
What is the next event on Gods end time calendar?
All believers should be watching for the Antichrist to visit the Middle East and begin gathering the support of ten nations (horns) surrounding Israel! Dan. 7:7-8, 20, Rev. 17:13-14)
Thank you so very much for making the complicated, simple and easy to understand and thank you so very much getting straight to the point put in a good information. God bless you in Jesus name.
Also means to reap or harvest the wheat from the Tares . (Weeds ). For the harvest is fully ripe .
What's most important is to be spiritually ready to meet our Maker, whether at death or at His return, but it's also important to pray that God help us understand endtime prophecies.
I strongly believe that the Bible does not teach 2 second comings of Jesus, as taught by pre-trib and post-trib views. The Lord's coming from heaven and resurrection of the saints at the last trump of God in 1 Cor 15:51-54 & 1 Thess 4:116-17 is the same as the coming of the Son of man in the clouds immediately after the great tribulation (which will last for 3 & a half yrs, NOT 7 yrs) in Matt 24:15-31, Mk 13:14-27, Lk 21:20-28. Then He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet (the same last trump) to gather together His elect from all nations and all generations, Jews and Gentiles alike. This is the first resurrection, which is the resurrection of the just and the righteous, which will include all who died in Christ and of those who are alive and remain in Christ until His coming (1 Thess 4:15-17); the Martyrs of Rev 6:9-11; the 144,000 Jews who are sealed in Rev 7:1-8; the multitude from all nations who came out of Great Tribulation in Rev 20:4-6 & Rev 7:13-17-; and the 2 Witnesses in Rev 11:7-12.
Revelation 20:6 - Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Revelation 20:5 - But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. (This is the resurrection of the unrighteous and the unjust.)
Pre trib is not teaching 2 second comings. Jesus doesn't come back to earth for the Rapture, but calls the Church to Him. You twist what is taught. 2 Thess. 2:7-10 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. "He who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way" is talking about the Church. The Church and the prayers of the saints is what is keeping the Anti Christ from appearing. AS it says the Church will be taken away, then the Anti Christ will appear.
Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
@aurora.. you are correct in all the scriptures you posted. And the Lord said, what I say unto you, I say unto all, watch and pray.
"The kingdom of heaven is at hand! May we have ever-growing love, hope, and faith in the word of God, His Holy Spirit, and the Father who sent Them. 9/23/23. A joyous future birthday for Augustus. May God the Father find favor in us through the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Holy Spirit of truth. Amen.
If the bride is in heaven celebrating what is the purpose of salvation during the tribulation. If the bride is complete what body do the saints of the tribulation constitute? Are they Jew and Gentile in this time who are being saved not Christ's and are not all those in Christ one and one body?
When will the rapt happen? Praying for rapture everyday
Absolutely love this pastor and it definitely matters if you believe in the Rapture or not because it's true it will take place before the day of the Lord another event seven years when the tribulation starts
huge difference between tribulation which means trouble, and the wrath of God, Christian pastors have this confused, his very disciples did not escape tribulation or trouble to the end of their life, it is wishful thinking that the church will escape this kind of trouble, if the saints of God are gone around the 5th chapter and you take Revelations in chronological order as this man suggest, then why does revelations still talk about the saints in much later chapters and referring to them as being patience with the time at hand, Revelation 14 for example
In all due respect, I admire Brother Bernard and mean no ill will. It takes honesty to admit what Jesus said when the timing of His coming would be according to Matthew and Mark's record. Two witnesses that Jesus said His return is after the Tribulation. Luke John and Paul agree with Jesus. The last trumpet is the 7th trumpet according to scripture. That is at Armageddon. All other discussions about pre and mid are worthless.
Mathew..24: 29-30 ..says immediately after the tribulation of thoes days. Not to say anything against this is a great coverage of pre and mid trib but not much about post...
I agree, Yahusha (Jesus) coming after trib because it will be a simultaneous events.
It says Jesus returns AFTER the Tribulation. Duuuuh. He doesn't return DURING the Tribulation. The Rapture happens BEFORE the Tribulation
There is only one second coming. Not a third coming. What we call a rapture is the second coming per scripture. Jesus said he would gather his elect after the great tribulation, not before.
@@pklemets that the dumbest thing I heard today.
Proof of A Pre trib Rapture. Pay Attention to the cloud and Cloud's Jesus appears in and With. Acts chapter 1 verses 9 10 11 Cloud. In Red Luke chapter 21 verses 27 and 28 Jesus is coming in A Cloud the Rapture. In Revelation chapter 1 verse 7 Jesus is coming With the Clouds when he comes back to the MT of Olives the second coming
NEVER. Short, sweet and to the point.
Matthew 24 is clear. It amazes me how hard people make it. This is why I appreciate faith hero’s such as Bro Irvin Baxter.
I respect bro Bernard but he’s all over the place, trying to please everyone. Some of these teachings are questionable. People better know the word and be praying.
Agreed, many will fall because they are expecting not to go through the end-time tribulation.
Yes I like how it says in Matthew 24 that the coming of the Son of Man will be like the days of Noah. Noah was safe in the ark with his family before the distruction came. Matthew 24 is a great pre-trip chapter!
@ Steven Spencer
Matthew 24 is the second coming where Jesus will step his feet on the mount of olives
First I'll clarify I am a post trib believer.
However, I think it sounds like he's all over the place bc he really doesn't think on this topic very much bc he is concentrated on salvation and winning souls more than arguing about when the rapture happens. That is our calling as the elect, and his last statement clarifies his feelings on this topic.
amen, Matthew is very clear
Can you please explain Matthew 24:29-31.Will we go thru the tribulation and be killed by the guillotine?
I thought pre trib. teaching is agreed upon and shared among all Apostolic Oneness believer, as it is to where i'm from too, also for some part of our fundamental teaching has a strong relevant connection to it. But i'm being troubled that before watching this video i've seen one of our very own Oneness Pastor in youtube sayin pre trib. teaching is wrong. which i think someone has to addressed about it, and the reason why i'm thankful for this video. For Most of the time We don't care much if it comes from other denominational group whether it be a post, mid or etc. i personally think that it is very wrong to state that it doesn't matters whether it is pre, mid or post. Because it matters especially for Oneness believers, if not matters then why the LORD gave us Warning so we can be prepared the same is true in today's modern world
What should matter most to you is what God's Word says. Read Acts 1:9-11, then Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. This is Jesus telling us what to expect and the sequence of events. Pay close attention to verses 29-31 in Matthew and 24-27 in Mark and 25-27 in Luke.
If the kingdom that Jesus is coming to is on earth what sense does it make that the Saints will be called up to come right back down?
Understand that this is when we are changed as we meet the Lord in the air...then the earth is cleansed of all wickedness. It does make sense! We aren't appointed to God's wrath! We are removed from this. Read Rev 14:14-20 it happens in a moment. Jesus teaches it in Matthew 24:29-31

I'm honestly really surprised at how many, especially Bro Bernard, preachers still believe a pre-trib. I can't even see how anyone could believe pre anymore, every argument gets rebutted in my mind by what the Scripture actually says.

Right!
They Tribulation Saintes
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4:
■ "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4)
2 THESS 2
" Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God."
Paul makes it clear here that we will not be gathered to our Lord Jesus Christ until the son of perdition sits in the temple of God and showing himself to be God.
This happens during the tribulation and the pre- tribulation rapture teaching is false and misleading many Christians down the wrong road.
What about Matthew 24:29-31 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Jesus said after the Tribulation HE will come & his Angles shall gather the elect. Revelation 13:7 Talks about the AntiChrist “making war with the saints & to overcome them.” So how can the saints be in heaven & be overcome by the Beast?
Post Trib seems realistic. Acts 14:22 states “that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom God!
Right!
We’re in the end times so Thank you for the Information brother!
The verses he read from Corinthians says, At the last trump. This shows that it is after the tribulation.
In another place Jesus says that AFTER THE TRIBULATIO of those days shall the son of man return.

@@donnaleveron6511 That's right Donna. There are too many who out of ignorance or intentionally pervert the gospel.
Paul wrote to the Thessalonian Church, and to the Corinthian Church, 1 Thessalonians 4, at the catching away of the Church, there will be a Trumpet Sounding, in 1 Corinthians 15:52 Paul specifies which Trumpet it would be, he said it will happen at the “LAST TRUMP”, we know there are 7 Trumpets mentioned in Revelations, in Revelation 11:15 the 7th Trumpets begins the 1000 year Reign of our Lord with the Church, after the Tribulation. In the Book of Daniel chapter 12:11-12 it gives such a Profound time line of End Time Events, it gives the last 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation period, but then in verse 12 The Angel is telling Daniel “BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES TO THE 1335 DAYS”. There are 45 days from the end of the Tribulation to the Blessed Time the Angel speaks about to Daniel, I would say the Catching away of the Church will happen during this 45 day span, the Lord Jesus said we could not know the day or the hour, but Daniel 12:10, the wicked shall do wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand, but the Wise shall understand. The Church will understand.
When the 2 witnesses are called up that's the 1st resurrection or rapture of the dead in Christ 1st then we who are alive and remain. It's not about knowing the day or the hour but the event

Brother Bernard, please explain how in Rev 20:4 Saints die , by being beheaded for resisting the mark of the beast. How can they face the mark of the beast if they are raptured before the tribulation? These Saints are killed and reign with Christ in the 1000 yr millineal reign.
"SAINTS" is not a technical word. During the tribulation, _MAAAAANY_ come to faith, and therefore would be labeled "saints". You seem to infer that only NT believers are referred to as "saints"...am I correct?
Rev 13:16 Mark of beast.
Revelation..A lifting of the veil to bring into view what is alreády there!
Symbolism & imagery play a significant role throughout the book.
"The mark of the beast" - the currency of sin-consciousness.
Rev 13:16 "Its mission WAS to mirror-imprint its character upon everyone's hands and minds in order to manipulate what they think and do".
So what is the mark of the beast all about 🤔 The Greek word translated mark, is the word "charagma", a stamp, an imprinted mark from "charax", just like in Hebrew 1:1-3.. the Son radiates the character of the Father. Either the character of the Father or the character of the fallen mind will influence our actions (hand), because it is what engages our thoughts (forehead).
Just like in Isaiah 55:8-11 where God says "Yr thoughts are not My thoughts; therefore yr ways are not My ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than yr ways and.. but My word will incarnate, and saturate earth (flesh) just like the rain and the snow cancel the distance between heaven and earth. Instead of the thorn, the fir and instead of the brier, the myrtle!

In those 3 1/2 years there will be the 6th trumpet war .maybe before 3billion people will die the mark will be mandated millions more will die from starvation those who refuse the mark will be kill head chopped then the rapture will save those who remain we are now in a wicked time it's real close
Has the rapture already begun?
Rapture Rev 3:10Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
Rapture was taught by some early Church fathers.
Ephraim said this in his work "On the Last Times V. 2" around 300AD: "For all the saints and elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins. "
Why did Irenaeus (John's Disciple) say this in 130 AD; "And therefore, when in the end the Church shall be suddenly caught up from this, it is said, “There shall be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning, neither shall be.” (2)"
Rapture or Caught Up:
*Jesus meets us(the Church) in the air, 1Ths 4:17
*The Lord comes by Himself, 1Ths 4:16
*the Day of Christ, 2Ths 2:2/Phi 1:6,10/Phi 2:16
* The Day of the Lord 1 Ths 5:1-9 (9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ)
2nd coming:
*Jesus sets foot on the earth, Zec 14:1-5/Rom 11:26,27
*The Lord comes with His angels, Mat 25:31/Mat 24:29-31/Mat 16:27
*the Day of the Lord, 1Ths 5:2/2Pet 3:10
>>>Mat 24:36-44 is the 2nd coming, the Day of the Lord as a thief in the night.
Don’t be deceived by all the talk of the rapture. Jesus is not going to snatch up Christians suddenly and mysteriously. Instead, at a time when no one knows, the world will suddenly end and all will be ushered into judgment (see 2 Peter 3:10). Following false teaching will not help you then! We urge you to study these things further (see Acts 17:11). If you find the rapture to be out of step with New Testament teaching then give it up and seek the way of the Lord as revealed only in the scriptures.
The account of John Darby was from a dream that a young girls had. When you examine the issue you find it was talking about Post Tribulation , not pre trib. So when you try to say that pre trib wasn't taught until 1850, that is wrong. Post trib wasn't taught until 1850. There are letters dating back to 160ad on the topic of pre trib rapture. Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
After the Tribulation
The church has been in tribulation since Jesus ascended in to heaven, 2000 years ago.
1COR 15:51-52 The rapture occurs after the 7th trumpet. Pre and mid trip rapture never mention this scripture.
I love listening to brother Bernard, his wisdom is amazing. But on this subject I disagree, I believe the Bible is very clear that the rapture is at the end of the tribulation. Good conversation though.
Revelations 20 - 4 says that these saints were beheaded for NOT taking the mark. They have to be here in order to be beheaded for not taking the mark. Revelation 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Matthew 24-22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 29 IMMEDIATLEY AFTER THE TRIBULATIONS of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 AND THEN....and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Amen!!
What about children and babies. Do you believe Jesus would leave them here to be force to take the mark of the beast?
Knowledge of truth is the primary safeguard against deception. The elect must know, and they must learn to test and prove the spirits until they do know what is of God and what is of Satan. The words of the Master, Take heed, I have told you, plainly imply that personal knowledge of danger is part of the Lord's way of guarding His own. Those who blindly rely upon the keeping power of God without seeking to understand how to escape deception, when forewarned to take heed by the Lord, will surely find themselves entrapped by the subtle foe.
It's so important to get revelation from the scriptures and not man, or the traditions of man!
There is only 1 Second coming of Jesus Christ!
Jesus only teaches 2 resurrections!
One resurrection of the righteous and 1 resurrection of the unrighteous.
John 5:28-29
Blessed is he who takes place in the 1st resurrection!
If there is only 1 resurrection of the righteous when does it have to take place for ALL the saints to be included?
Can't be 7 years before the tribulation.
It has to be at the end for ALL the saints to receive a new glorified body.
Please seek the Lord in His Holy Word and His Spirit shall lead into all truth. 1 John 2:27!
God Bless!
There are some who have already been tested and will be Accounted Worthy (Luke
21:36) to be translated/caught up before the time of trial written about in Revelation 3:10. They
are the 1st fruits of the harvest. They are also found in Revelation 12:5. (The
manchild)
Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was
not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this
testimony, that he pleased God.
The main Harvest will be kept through the time of trial. There is an example of this in Daniel Chapter 3 (the 3 hebrews in the fiery furnace) They were kept through the fire because Jesus was with them.
Why would the rest of scripture all use female metaphors to describe the church, ie., "her", "the woman", "the bride" and then suddenly use "he" to refer to the church in 2 Thess. 2? That verse is def. not talking about the church. Its the Ruach (Set apart Spirit, aka the "Holy Ghost") that restrains. This is why the adversary has to ask permission as we see in Job.
the only people who go to be with Christ before His second coming are those who die in Christ before He returns. those are the ones who return with Him, and those of us that remain will be caught up when Jesus returns.
It seems to me that the Bride of Christ mirror the Jewish customs of the marriage ceremony. Three phases. The betrothal agreement. The brides approval. The bridegroom’s return for His bride. No groom would pour out his wrath upon his own bride, just prior to the wedding ceremony. Makes no sense.
In my opinion. He loves her too much.
There's not a clear reference to the rapture in Matthew? Oh really? Matthew chapter 24 is fairly clear about the matter, and the words come from Jesus Christ himself. When Jesus says, "immediately after the tribulations of those days" he would send his angels to gather his elect from the 4 winds. Not 7 years before. Not 3.5 years before. Immediately after, means Immediately after.
Matthew 24:31
“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
King James Version (KJV)
Again:
"from one end of heaven to the other.”
---they are gathered from heaven returning with the LORD at this time, IMMEDIATELY AFTER the tribulation.
It's good to hear what you say, but that's how the foolish virgins were left at the wedding because they lacked the oil and they didn't know the time of the bridegroom's arrival. They were not ready. while the women were looking for oil the bridegroom came and left them. Being ready is being prepared for the word. all pre-mid-post concepts cannot be believed because only one will truly happen and the bride must know it. because if she/church doesn't know she will be left behind and face tribulation before wearing the white robe.
Reading your Bible will clarify once and for all. Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 is Jesus telling us(His disciples) what to expect and the sequence of events . Pay close attention to verses 29-31 in Matthew and 24-27 in Mark and 25-27 in Luke.
Around the beginning of August 2023, God gave me these words.
To all believers in Jesus Christ,
"WARNING, there is a final push by the enemy to discredit the Pre-Rapture of the body of Christ,"
The body of Christ will not go through the tribulation period. Jesus promised to take the believers to his Father’s house in heaven. The Rapture is our hope, so look for his coming and PURIFY YOURSELVES, for he is pure.
St. John 14:1-4 1 John 3:1-3 St. John 17:24
Hoping it will be soon
How did GOD give you any words.
scripture says=no one shall know the day or Hour=Next verse to christians, But unto you Brethen, you are not in dardkness as others are in Darkness that day should catch you unawares.
I truely believe the church will leave planet earth some time before the end of the Ezekiel war of chapters 38,39 because the 7 years Israel burns the weapons of war is also the 7year great tribulation
Stranger than fiction? The 3rd day prophesy is found in John, and confirmed in both Matthew and Mark. These references are below. Briefly upon the 1st Passover after Jesus baptism He spoke to the rulers in the temple and said, “Destroy this Temple and in 3 days I will raise it again.” The rulers knowing Herod’s temple took many years to erect decried the statement. John and other gospel writers said it referred to Christ crucifixion and resurrection… But another interpretation seems justified based on events prophesied in book of Revelation. For in Revelation 21:22-23 is written:
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
Strangely the above event happens after the 1000Year millennium reign. If one God-day is 1000years, then 3 days or 3000 years from Christ resurrection would be somewheres between 3030AD and 3033AD, depending upon year of the cross. Subtracting back the 1,000yrs millennium and 7 years trib time is April 2023 to April 2026… refs John 2:19-21 Matthew 27:39-41 Mark 14:58 & 15:29 also Hosea 6:2
Dr. Bernard,
What is your response to the Preterist theologians who declare that the Coming of Christ in the Olivet Discourse (Matt 24) took place in their generation at the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.?
For example, in Matt 24, after Jesus spoke of His coming in the clouds of heaven to gather together His elect (vs. 31) He then states “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (34)
Can you please make sense of how we can stretch verse 34 into two thousand years into the present 21st century? How can we logically explain the time statements of Christ when He said their generation would see all those eschatological events?
Also, can you also interpret for us the following passage:
“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” - Matt. 16:27-28
The Presterist interpret this as Jesus declaring His coming and final judgment to occur before some of them standing there would die - namely, in 70 AD at the destruction of Jerusalem.
Your response is appreciated.
Kind regards
