THE RAPTURE IS THE HARPADZO--DO YOU BELIEVE WHAT JESUS TAUGHT ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF THE END?

- Jesus's comforting, hope-filled message of His return to rescue His Church before the Tribulation was so powerful that His disciples went everywhere teaching this same truth. When Paul spent only a month in a pagan city where he planted a church, the Rapture was central to their doctrine.
The Rapture was
First Taught by Jesus
The Rapture is a doctrine started and taught by Jesus, continued and spread by His disciples, and believed and passionately lived out by His Church. The early church heard and understood this doctrine of Christ’s imminent return and radiantly lived, looking for ways to please Him when He came to rescue them.
James, in the first NT letter said that Christ was standing at the door (5:7). The second NT book was I Thessalonians and every chapter shines with Rapture-induced hope-filled expectancy (1:9-10; 2:19-20; 3:13; 4:13-18; 5:23). Paul’s epistles start to finish, are seasoned with the flavor of a focused life awaiting Christ as in Philippians 3:20 where we as citizens of Heaven await Jesus eagerly, as Paul confesses in his last words of II Timothy 4 where he talks about His crown “at that day” when Jesus comes.
Peter says the same, going so far as asking what kind of lives should we live because we know the future (II Peter 3:11 ). John’s Epistles are the same, in I John 3:2-3 he says that this “hope” causes us to purify our daily life looking for Christ’s coming.
In Revelation 3:7, Jesus Christ identifies Himself to the Church at Philadelphia as the One who is True, Holy, and has the unstoppable Messianic Key of David. When Jesus speaks, He tells the Truth. When we listen to Him and hear what He says, we can have confidence and assurance that He knows what He is talking about.
Jesus Christ taught repeatedly (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21) that His 2nd Coming is to Judge the ungodly. That was the content of every sermon on the future that He ever preached. Each sermon was taught in the context of Israel, was focused upon the Jews, and involved the city of Jerusalem and the nation of Israel.
The Rapture is Not
The 2nd Coming
But, when Jesus spoke to believers His emphasis was different. Jesus taught His own born-again children of the faith three bedrock truths about the Rapture or His coming for His Church.
These truths are that the Rapture will be a source of comfort, similar to the Ascension, and an intentional rescue.

Wow! This Pastor is actually teaching the Bible accurately‼️🔎📖👀🔍 😇👑🙏🤭 He knows what Lord Jesus Christ taught the Apostles regarding the absolute TRUTH about the PRE-GREAT Tribulation Rapture happening that will spare us from "all these things that are coming on the Earth" [Rev 3:10 KJV]-> during the 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation (aka Jacob’s Time of Trouble… ❤️🙏🥰👍-> 🎺 It will happen at the "LAST TRUMP". ⬆️👆🙏✝️
He has quite a few excellent videos available to see online relating to the End Times.
It's apparent in his presentations Scriptural study has been his life's work. Truth 🙌
Not one bit accurately, only according to Jesuit counter truth.

Awesome! Maranatha Lord Jesus ❤
My Gosh! What a wonderful message! That has cleaned up a whole lot of incorrect thinking in me & opened my eyes to the truth of it a;;. Bless you
I listened to this, took
notes, the Bible is so
amazing, and God’s
loving Word is beyond my
understanding,
thank you, Lord Jesus,
for loving us so much that
you were willing to die for
us, (ME) Sinners!❤
I share your channel to everyone that is studying the end times.
Paul knew he was going to die for the Word...
It mimics the marriage of the Jewish people,
The Father tells the groom when he can get his bride to the marriage and feast...
It could happen any time!
The marriage supper of the lamb is the 1000 years. Go read revelation.
Pretrib rapture teachers repeat the 7 years is the marriage supper of the lamb. Nowhere in scripture is that referenced as the marriage supper.
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.
Amen ✝️
❤ I love This pastors sermons and classes! All from the Bible
AMAZING SERMON ❤
I love your very TRUTHFUL BIBLICAL teaching . God Bless You❣️🤗
This is so uplifting. I believe this will happen and will keep us all from the end. The beauty of it is even if people don't believe in the rapture, they'll still be coming with us ❤️ love to ALL of Christ's church

When Jesus comes in the Rapture, He will be in the clouds. Saints from all over the world will be gathered to Him in the clouds. He will not be coming to Jerusalem at the time of the Rapture. He will return to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem at His Second Coming to the earth. Acts 1 is not a Rapture passage.
Why would you feel the need to say this?
Is it true @@KimberlyWard-Evans717
AMEN ❤
That's a nice story, but it's not supported by scripture.
@@zippy2641 everything he said is scripture; but why he mentions Acts 1 is not a rapture verse is strange. Acts 1 is an introduction like all the letters. Why do you think it isn’t in scripture? When He comes for His body, He is in the clouds 1 Thes. 4:17 we will meet the Lord in the air. At His second coming, when we His body are with Him riding on white horses with our immortal bodies (we shall see Him as He is for we shall be like Him) He will touch down on the Mount of Olives and split it (Zechariah 14:4). It’s funny because the Muslims have buried their dead at the Mt. gate of the Temple because they know Jews can’t walk over graves. As if that will stop the Creator of all things! Certainly not. If it’s in scripture, He will do it!
Here is how Jesus used the Greek word harpazo (and found 14 times in the Bible), and NOT as the "rapture", but as in sincere ones reaching for God's Kingdom, as at Matthew 11:11, 12: "Truly I say to you, among those born of women, there has not been raised up anyone greater than John the Baptist, but a lesser person in the Kingdom of the heavens is greater than he is."
"From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of the heavens is the goal toward which men press, and those pressing forward, are seizing ("seizing", Greek harpazo, G726, meaning "to seize, snatch out or away, carry off by force, to catch away") it (literally "her")."
At Matthew 12:27-29, after expelling a demon from a man, and the Pharisees claiming that he did it only by means of Beelzebub (or Satan), Jesus tells them: "Moreover, if I expel the demons by means of Be·elʹze·bub, by whom do your sons expel them ? This is why they will be your judges."
"But if it is by means of God’s spirit that I expel the demons, the Kingdom of God has really overtaken you. Or how can anyone invade the house of a strong man and seize ("seize", Greek harpazo) his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man ? Only then can he plunder his house."
At Matthews 13:19, Jesus says: "Where anyone hears the word of the Kingdom but does not get the sense of it, the wicked one comes and snatches away ("snatches away", Greek harpazo) what has been sown in his heart; this is the one sown alongside the road."
At John 10:12, 13, Jesus says: "The hired man, who is not a shepherd and to whom the sheep do not belong, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and flees-and the wolf snatches ("snatches", Greek harpazo) them and scatters them-because he is a hired man and does not care for the sheep."
At John 10:27-29, Jesus says: "My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them everlasting life, and they will by no means ever be destroyed, and no one will snatch ("snatch", Greek harpazo) them out of my hand. What my Father has given me is something greater than all other things, and no one can snatch ("snatch", Greek harpazo) them out of the hand of the Father."
At John 6:14, 15, it says: "When the people saw the sign he performed (of miraculously feeding some 15,000 people), they began to say: “This really is the Prophet who was to come into the world.” Then Jesus, knowing that they were about to come and seize ("seize", Greek harpazo) him to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain all alone."
At Revelation 12:5, it says: "And she (the symbolic "woman" at Gen 3:15) gave birth to a (symbolic) son, a male, who is to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched away ("snatched away", Greek harpazo) to God and to his throne."
The ONLY scripture that Christendom pays any attention to where harpazo is used and is rendered as "caught away", is at 1 Thessalonians 4:17, disregarding "the across the board" meaning of harpazo. These ones never do any SERIOUS examination of the Bible, an ACCURATE Bible, but relies on the religious leaders of Christendom to tell them what to believe (which is almost all falsehoods), rather than being like the Beroeans at Acts 17:11, who were careful examiners of the Hebrew Scriptures, even when the apostle Paul spoke of them.
So, is the "rapture" used in the Bible ? No. Rather, Jesus spoke of the resurrection, as at Matthew 22:29-32, in exposing the Sadducees twisted, unbelief in the resurrection, who failed to reason on scripture, telling them: "You are mistaken, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God; for in the resurrection ("resurrection", Greek anastasis, meaning "to stands up again in life") neither do men marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are as angels in heaven."
"Regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, who said (at Ex 3:15, 16): ‘I am (and NOT "was", as in past tense) the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’? He is the God, not of the dead, but of the living."(see also Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:27-40)
At Luke 14:13, 14, Jesus said: "But when you spread a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; and you will be happy, because they have nothing with which to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection (and NOT "rapture") of the righteous ones.”
At John 5:28, 29, Jesus said: "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."
So, Jesus spoke of the resurrection of the dead and NOT of the "rapture".
The pre tribulation rapture is the right doctrine, the tribulation is the time of jacobs trouble not the church troubles. The church is coming back with the Lord Jesuschrist to save Israel from the devil man the antichrist, if you believe that the church is going to be in the tribulation you probably are not a believer and going to get the mark of the beast.
For those not following the narrative, Jesus/ Yeshua returns first in the air(harpazo/rapture), then fast forward through the tribulation, to when He returns, steps on Mount of Olives.
LOL : "then fast forward"...yeah, I didn't read that anywhere in the bible.
Verses?
Very true. Zechariah 14:4! Many could be deceived thinking the 2nd coming is next and therefore when false messiahs and false Christs appear they might fall for it. Jesus said He gathers His church in the air. Then in Rev 19 He leads the heavenly host, including His church to conquer. Therefore, if someone appears on the scene with all the answers and some fake miracles, don’t believe it. Jesus will be seen by all as lightning from east to west.
@@jimmenken7779 Your convincing yourself of a narrative that is not supported by scripture.
Jesus told us to LOOK UP when we see the signs of His coming in the sum/moon/stars. This cosmic event announces the Day of the Lord, and is spoken of throughout the Old and New Testament. It only happens 1 time, and that is after the tribulation...
"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:" - Matthew 24:29-30
This also marks the beginning of God's wrath... (the Sixth Seal)
"The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth...Rev 6:12-14
...For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” Rev 6:17

The rapture will happen at the end of the Tribulation. When the rapture doesn't happen before the Tribulation, many will fall away from the Truth and be upset with the Lord because they believed in a false doctrine. All humanity will go through the Tribulation. If you don't believe and the rapture doesn't happen, don't be upset at the Lord.
Based on what? Then what was the point of his death?
@@chrislee9731 Jesus had to die and go to hell to pay for our sins and redeem us back to the Father. It was the only way we could get "Born again" and receive a new clean spirit. The sinful spirit had to die and only Jesus could do this because He was Holy and never sinned. He paid our price in hell so that we don't have to go there and suffer. People go to hell because they refuse to receive their salvation from Jesus so then they will have to pay for it in hell. We either pay for our sins in eternal hell or receive the payment that Jesus did for us and get a new spirit from above and not go to hell. He will return in about 2033 to rule as King of this earth for 1000 years and we will be with Him. After the Millennium reign, Satan will be loosed from hell and the final judgement and be thrown in the Lake of Fire forever.
Thank you pastor for the Truth of God's word! God bless you and your family in Jesus name 🙏✝️💜🙌
Trust me, When I tell you that jesus said you do not want to be on the wrong side of the coming, Because when jesus christ comes and his second coming he will be coming with the saints, Heaven's holiest which are the children of God.
The Rapture is not the beginning of the end of the world
The birth of Jesus was the beginning of the end of the world
Heb_9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Like the wedding of Isaac and Rebecca they met in the middle not at her house nor his house, then to the Father’s house.
And I thank god every single day, That God will send Jesus Christ to gather together. GOD children and bring them home to God.
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.
Excellent scripture!
Paul taught in 2 Thessalonians 2 that "our being gathered to him" will not happen until 3 things happen first, in this order:
1) the falling away
2) the restrainer is removed who holds back the Antichrist until the appointed time
3) the Antichrist is revealed
Paul was teaching here that the believers would see the Antichrist revealed AFTER the restrainer was removed. So, the removal of the restrainer CAN NOT be the rapture since the rapture happens after 2) and 3) above.
This means that the "imminent rapture doctrine" is false. It cannot happen at any moment if it will not happen until the 3 things happen first. If this Darby doctrine is false (a doctrine of demons), what are the chances that Darby's "pre-tribulation rapture" doctrine is also false? I would say the chances are very good!

@@Jesusisnumberone5740 totally, enjoy life for now....
@@voiceofreason4907 You are confusing the "Day of the Lord" (Day of Christ or That Day) with the rapture. The Day of the Lord is Jesus' second coming when His feet actually touch the Mount of Olives, when every eye will see Him return. This happens at the end of the 7 year tribulation. When Jesus returns to the earth, He is accompanied by the armies of heaven, all riding on white horses (Rev 19:11-16: Zechariah chapters 12, 14)
Compare these scriptures to 1 Corinthians 15: 50-58 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) 1 Thessalonians 4 verse 14, Jesus returns with those who have fallen asleep, "The dead in Christ". No white horses, no armies for battle, no return to the earth. Definetly not the same event.
You forgot one detail in 2 Thessalonians 2, in verses 6-8, the Apostle reveals that the anti-christ can not be revealed till the Restrainer is removed. If the Restrainer is the church we are removed before the revealing of the anti-christ which is before the 7 year tribulation period begins as this evil man is revealed at the opening of the first seal. If the Restrainer is the Holy Spirit, and He indwells every believer in Jesus, than the church will be removed either way.
The "immient rapture doctrine" is not false, but the truth that fits all scriptures both in the old and new testament.
It is so good to hear the truth unfortunate I was taught wrong years ago
I listened with hopes of believing in the pre-tribulation rapture. But nothing was said to make me believe.
Paul said at the last trumpet.
Revelation shows the harvest in the last trumpet, removing the believers before the bowls of wrath are poured out.
The last trumpet” of 1 Corinthians 15 is not the same as the seventh trumpet of Revelation. Both 1 Thessalonians and 1 Corinthians were written long before John wrote Revelation, so Paul’s readers would have no knowledge of the seven trumpets of Revelation. Paul intended for them to understand what he was writing about, so we need to look elsewhere for clarification. Paul’s writing was distinctly in reference to the church and the closing of the church age at the rapture. Throughout Scripture, trumpets were used as signals to gather people, to set armies on the move, and as part of the worship of God. The trumpet that summons the church is called “the trump of God,” while those in Revelation are angelic trumpets. Since it is a summoning trumpet, we can look to the Old Testament for further understanding. Numbers 10
Thank you for sharing your content and doing what you do and doing it so well. Much appreciated 👍 Sending virtual Granny hug's and prayers to everyone ☺️💕
You left out the part where Jesus said this generation should not pass until all is fulfilled. He was talking to the disciples and the Jews that followed Christ and the only real Israelites called to sit at the table with Abraham , and that he would take them before the great destruction...you know, the time when Jerusalem was attacked and destroyed. It was Jesus that taught the kingdom on earth is not a physical thing not anybody else and the disciples confirmed it by telling us not to be lied to, that the Kingdom is not a physical thing and is now.
For those who don't believe in a Pre Trib Rapture, please answer this question: When do the rooms that Jesus was preparing for the Faithful (in His Father's house) get used?

I don't know, but it could be that Jesus was describing "the New City of Jerusalem" that John is shown coming down out of heaven from God (Revelation 21:10-14). That city is massive.
My question for you is this: If the rapture does not happen before the tribulation, are you prepared to suffer for Jesus and endure to the end?
Would you rather:
1) believe that the rapture could be AFTER the tribulation and be wrong? (happy surprise!)
or --
2) believe the rapture will be BEFORE the tribulation and be wrong? (angry at God)
It is better to be prepared for the rapture to be before OR after the tribulation.
People who expect to be rescued before the tribulation are likely to be angry (at God) that they have to actually suffer through it and endure. They are more likely to fall away from the faith altogether.
I disagree with the pastor here who said the pre-tribulation rapture is a comfort. Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 4 that the comfort is that whether we die or live to the return of Christ - - both will be gathered to him. The comfort is that the dead will be resurrected to life.
1 Thessalonians 4 (AMP version)
Those Who Died in Christ
13 Now we do not want you to be uninformed, believers, about those who are asleep [in death], so that you will not grieve [for them] as the others do who have no hope [beyond this present life]. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again [as in fact He did], even so God [in this same way-by raising them from the dead] will bring with Him those [believers] who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For we say this to you by the Lord’s [own] word, that we who are still alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede [into His presence] those [believers] who have fallen asleep [in death]. 16 For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the [blast of the] trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord! 18 Therefore comfort and encourage one another with these words [concerning our reunion with believers who have died].
THE BLESSED HOPE is that we will be reunited with believers who have died (and with Christ), not that we won't have to suffer in this life or through the Great Tribulation.
Jesus taught that we will have tribulation in this life. In Mathew 24:15-31) Jesus taught his disciples that they would go through the tribulation. Read those verses and see if he says that some will be raptured before it. He does not say that.
Paul taught that the rapture will be at the LAST TRUMP (1 Corinthians 15:52). In Revelation, the angel told John that there are 7 trumpets. It is most likely that the rapture will happen round the time of the 7th one (Revelation 10:7 and chapter 11).
Paul taught in 2 Thessalonians 2 that "our being gathered to him" will not happen until 3 things happen first, in this order:
1) the falling away
2) the restrainer is removed who holds back the Antichrist until the appointed time
3) the Antichrist is revealed
So you see, Paul taught that the believers would see the Antichrist revealed AFTER the restrainer was removed. So, the removal of the restrainer CAN NOT be the rapture since the rapture happens after 2) and 3) above.
This means that the "imminent rapture doctrine" is false. It cannot happen at any moment if it will not happen until the 3 things happen first. If this Darby doctrine is false (a doctrine of demons), what are the chances that Darby's "pre-tribulation rapture" doctrine is also false? I would say the chances are very good!
Corrie ten Boom warned Christians that the pre-tribulation rapture was false. She said that the Chinese church believed this doctrine and it harmed them greatly because when they had to go through great suffering, many fell away from the faith! (You can do an internet search for "Corrie ten Boom's warning to Christians" to read her letter about this. If you do not know who she is, please watch "The Hiding Place" on TH-cam. She was a Christian who was put into a Nazi concentration camp because she and her family were hiding Jews from the Nazis.)
Oh, Church! Be prepared to go through the Great Tribulation. Be prepared to suffer greatly for Christ! Be prepared in your heart so that if/when that happens you will not be so shocked and angry (at God) that you could fall away from the faith.
If I am wrong, I will be very happy to escape all these things. If I do have to go through the Great Tribulation (should I live to when it starts), I will be thankful that I was at least a little prepared for it to happen. Because it will be a shock to have to choose to get the mark of the beast to buy/sell (work/get paid, buy food, pay rent/mortgage/property tax, utility bills) so that I can continue to support my family/myself or be thrown into a concentration camp that will eventually be a death camp. Are you ready to face that choice? You should be.
Remember, the disciples and apostles all faced tribulation and most (if not all) were martyrs (killed for their faith). If God did not rescue them from great tribulation and death, and all the Christians through time that have been killed for their faith, why is the last church so special that they will be rescued from being martyrs? We are all ONE church, ONE bride. From the first century until the last.

Please ask Jesus what Dead in Christ means
No Christians alive or Dead fit those descriptions in Revelation 20 4

The church rapture is after the thousand year reign
That's why you can't find one Bible verse that promised the thousand year reign to the church
Matthew 25: 31-46 gives you the answer and explains in great detail.
If I might cut to the chase. The word harpazō appears in Revelation 12:5, which is the rapture.
Revelation 12:5 KJVS
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
And Satan cast down to Earth is the third woe, Re 12:12. And the third woe is linked to the seventh trumpet. Which is at the middle of the tribulation, Re 11:3.
Revelation 8:13 KJVS
And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
So how can the rapture be before the tribulation, when it is at the seventh trumpet.
Revelation 11:15 KJVS
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
The bk of Revelation is not in chronological order. read rev 3:10...and john carlen comment on this page...and read 2 thess 2, we are now in the great falling away.
But bible says immediately after the tribulation, when Christ returns we will be raptured. So if we are raptured at the time of Christs return, he is only returning once, and he is returning in the end. Bible says to escape when you see that day of desolation and that God will protect her in that day, so they will not be raptured. And he said that many will be prosecuted in that day, and that he has to return or no one will be left. Who is no one? The believers or the non believers? He says for his elect. So he returns for his people to save them before they all die but many will. We go thru the tribulation but will be protected from Gods wrath. Not removed, just like Noah he was not removed but protected on His awesome way.
What was the First Coming? Was it his (Jesus) conception? Was it his birth? Was it his ministry? Was it his death? Or was it his resurrection? Where did Jesus go after the First Coming?
He will return once and stay for at least 1007 years. The Second Coming will last for at least 1007 years. Rapture is part of the Second Coming.
Jesus's conception was part of the First Coming, so was his birth, his ministry, his death, and his Resurrection.
A beautiful day when we go home!
Proof of A Pre trib Rapture. Pay Attention to the Cloud and Clouds 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 Olive the second coming KJV.
"The rapture according to Jesus..."
DId Jesus ever talk about the rapture? Perhaps once in John 14 when He talked about going away to build homes for people. However, He was talking to the disciples about the Jews. He did not know that His Father would put blindness upon the Jews. How can we know this. Jesus gave the Jews sufficient time after He rose again to accept Him as their resurrected Messiah, but for the most part, they wanted NOTHING to do with Jesus, whether alive or resurrected. (Or Course the disciples and other born again Jews will be raised at Paul's rapture.)
Romans 11:25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Note that blindness put upon Israel was a MYSTERY started when God sent Paul to the Gentiles.
Acts 18:6
And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean; from henceforth
At that time, when Blindness was put upon the Jews, and Paul declaring He would go to the Gentiles, God gave Paul a special dispensation JUST for the Gentile church.
Ephesians 3:2
If ye have heard ofof God which is given me to you-ward:
This is probably where the term, "age of grace" came from. It is the church age - a special dispensation of Grace for the Gentile church of today, but started when blindness was put upon the Jews. A dispensation is a DISPENSENSING of rules for the dispensation. We find the rules for the Gentile church in the Pauline Epistles. This is confirmed when Paul wrote that we (the Gentile believers) will be JUDGED by Paul's gospel. Remember that this was all a MYSTERY until it was revealed to Paul. Even the rapture was a mystery until revealed to Paul.
1 Corinthians 15:51
Behold, I shew you ; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.
How then could Jesus have taught about Paul's rapture when it was still a MYSTERY Hidden in the Father until revealed to Paul? It was a MYSTERY while Jesus was alive. God our Father would WAIT to see if the Jews would accept Jesus as their Messiah. I guess we could say that God giving Paul a special dispensation for the Gentiles was PLAN B, kept a secret until God had given sufficient time.
I have seen many videos on the rapture and the tribulation, but not one explaining how the angels gathering the tares BEFORE any wheat / saints are gathered goes down. Seems like everybody skips that important part.
the angels gather the wheat before the tares - It seems that everyone doesn't understand this important part...read your Bibles
Pastor Jack Hibbs talks about it
John 6 39 40 44 54
Jesus says at the last day four times
The church rapture is after the thousand year reign
Jesus is always truth
huh? you have it backwards. the tares are LEFT BEHIND...the WHEAT (believers) are taken UP in the rapture to shield them from whats coming to the nonbelievers who are left on the earth...
Is there a question in your OP? Just ask instead of committing the logical fallacy of 'Begging the Question.'
He uses no scripture only his own idea of what it says!!! Here is what the scripture verifies from Matthew Mark and Luke to thessalonians and revelation!
There is no pretribulation rapture!!
It is one of the biggest stumbling blocks!! Prophecy given in Matthew Mark and Luke all agree as well as revelation where the second coming doesn't show until chapter 19!
Matthew 24:1-30
24 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a] spoken of through the prophet Daniel-let the reader understand-
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now-and never to be equaled again.
22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b]
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.[d]
Not until after the tribulation of those days!! Stop believing these false prosperity preachers who seek only to follow a crowd and not christ!!
2 thessalonians 2!
Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us-whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter-asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
Stand Firm
13 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits[b] to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. 14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings[c] we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
Believers who are staunchly opposed to the Harpazo will not believe in the Rescue of the saints from the WRATH TO COME!
Certainly, discussions around the concept of the rapture can vary widely depending on theological perspectives and interpretations of scripture. It's important for individuals to carefully discern teachings about the rapture, as beliefs can differ among Christian denominations and scholars. Being cautious involves studying the Bible directly, seeking guidance from trusted spiritual leaders, and evaluating teachings against biblical principles to avoid misunderstandings or misinformation. Must one believe in a Rapture to be saved? NO. Some preachers sound as if one would need a hall pass to be raptured. Fearmongering is trending. Pray for understanding.
If the rapture does not happen before the tribulation, are you prepared to suffer for Jesus?
Would you rather:
1) believe that the rapture could be AFTER the tribulation and be wrong? (happy surprise!)
or --
2) believe the rapture will be BEFORE the tribulation and be wrong? (angry at God)
It is better to be prepared for the rapture to be before OR after the tribulation.
People who expect to be rescued before the tribulation are likely to be angry (at God) that they have to actually suffer through it and endure. They are more likely to fall away from the faith altogether.
I disagree with the pastor here who said the pre-tribulation rapture is a comfort. Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 4 that the comfort is that whether we die or live to the return of Christ - - both will be gathered to him. The comfort is that the dead will be resurrected to life.
1 Thessalonians 4 (AMP version)
Those Who Died in Christ
13 Now we do not want you to be uninformed, believers, about those who are asleep [in death], so that you will not grieve [for them] as the others do who have no hope [beyond this present life]. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again [as in fact He did], even so God [in this same way-by raising them from the dead] will bring with Him those [believers] who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For we say this to you by the Lord’s [own] word, that we who are still alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede [into His presence] those [believers] who have fallen asleep [in death]. 16 For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the [blast of the] trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord! 18 Therefore comfort and encourage one another with these words [concerning our reunion with believers who have died].
THE BLESSED HOPE is that we will be reunited with believers who have died (and with Christ), not that we won't have to suffer in this life or through the Great Tribulation.
Jesus taught that we will have tribulation in this life. In Mathew 24:15-31) Jesus taught his disciples that they would go through the tribulation. Read those verses and see if he says that some will be raptured before it. He does not say that.
Paul taught that the rapture will be at the LAST TRUMP (1 Corinthians 15:52). In Revelation, the angel told John that there are 7 trumpets. It is most likely that the rapture will happen round the time of the 7th one (Revelation 10:7 and chapter 11).
Paul taught in 2 Thessalonians 2 that "our being gathered to him" will not happen until 3 things happen first, in this order:
1) the falling away
2) the restrainer is removed who holds back the Antichrist until the appointed time
3) the Antichrist is revealed
So you see, Paul taught that the believers would see the Antichrist revealed AFTER the restrainer was removed. So, the removal of the restrainer CAN NOT be the rapture since the rapture happens after 2) and 3) above.
This means that the "imminent rapture doctrine" is false. It cannot happen at any moment if it will not happen until the 3 things happen first. If this Darby doctrine is false (a doctrine of demons), what are the chances that Darby's "pre-tribulation rapture" doctrine is also false? I would say the chances are very good!
Corrie ten Boom warned Christians that the pre-tribulation rapture was false. She said that the Chinese church believed this doctrine and it harmed them greatly because when they had to go through great suffering, many fell away from the faith! (You can do an internet search for "Corrie ten Boom's warning to Christians" to read her letter about this. If you do not know who she is, please watch "The Hiding Place" on TH-cam. She was a Christian who was put into a Nazi concentration camp because she and her family were hiding Jews from the Nazis.)
Oh, Church! Be prepared to go through the Great Tribulation. Be prepared to suffer greatly for Christ! Be prepared in your heart so that if/when that happens you will not be so shocked and angry (at God) that you could fall away from the faith.
If I am wrong, I will be very happy to escape all these things. If I do have to go through the Great Tribulation (should I live to when it starts), I will be thankful that I was at least a little prepared for it to happen. Because it will be a shock to have to choose to get the mark of the beast to buy/sell (work/get paid, buy food, pay rent/mortgage/property tax, utility bills) so that I can continue to support my family/myself or be thrown into a concentration camp that will eventually be a death camp. Are you ready to face that choice? You should be.
Remember, the disciples and apostles all faced tribulation and most (if not all) were martyrs (killed for their faith). If God did not rescue them from great tribulation and death, and all the Christians through time that have been killed for their faith, why is the last church so special that they will be rescued from being martyrs? We are all ONE church, ONE bride. From the first century until the last.
Y🎉es John I
Believe in the rapture
Just me. I believe Paul when he told the Greeks that they should look to saving their souls and leave it up to God about the Rapture. Paul said not to waste time on when the Rapture will come that only God would even know. Was Paul a liar and you know better than Paul? When you stand at the Pearly Gates, you will be judged on your actions and not on how old the earth is and when will the Rapture come?
And, again, I'm no better or wiser than you, likely worse, but God said, "Judge not but that ye be judged." So I think when I'm standing at the Pearly Gates is will be about how I judge my own life and my judgments on other people's lives will count against me and not for me. Only time will tell. Take care.
Wow!!!!
Where did this pastor come from? Just ran across his channel.
👍🙏👍
Just need to know! Realizing i am in a church that doesn't Believe this! And tgey allow no discussion
Matthew was written to the Jews. This does not pertain to the church. It is what the Jewish people will go through. You are combining the meeting in the air with the second coming. They are at least 7 years apart and two separate events.
Eschatology is an area that can distract the church. It should encourage the redeemed believers. The clarity of this teaching is clear and encouraging. Let us evangelise so the elect come to Christ whilst there is still time and while the Lord may be found.
Praise the Lord teach it brother😊😊
I've never seen the word rapture in my Bible..
Harpazo is a Greek word meaning to snatch away.
That is because you are reading a translation to English. The Latin translation of this verse used the word rapturo. The Greek word it translates is harpazō, which means to snatch or take away.
❤🎉
The Roman Catholic Church, the Episcopal church, the Anglican church, the Lutheran church all teach that Jesus will come back. They say it every week when they recite the NIcene Creed "And He WILL COME AGAIN IN GLORY TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD, AND HIS KINGDOM WILL HAVE NO END"
Meeting in the air like a thief in the night and returning in a blaze of glory with every eye seeing are two different events.
thank you
Why does this channel have commercials, it’s like selling Gods word for profit.
Then will there be another resurrection after the tribulation?
The rest of the dead will resurrect to the White Throne Judgement after the millennial reign. There are two resurrections and Jesus was the first fruit of the first. John 5:28-29: “The hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth-those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.”
Do not be deceived!
R U RAPTURE READY
So is it "harpadzo" or "harpazo"????
Harpadzo
AMEN!!
SMH
I'm a rapture believer my family believe kingdom now here on earth.but I don't understand the part of heaven will pass away? earth I get but why heaven since that's where we will go when we get raptured? Please explain it to me
Heaven and earth will pass away etc means the skies/universe and the earth will be destroyed, thats all it means. GODS Heaven (not the sky) where HE is and all the believers (deceased) live, will not pass away.
Like the wedding of I a
Like the wedding of Isaac and Rebecca
Preach what makes the people feel good, build YOUR following!
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.
How about teaching the TRUTH 5:13

No you wont miss the rapture, you only have to believe the gospel 1 cor 15 1-4. Salvation is by faith alone not works it is a free gift from God.
No, you won't miss the Rapture.

Those are the people who became Christians after the rapture and were martyred during the tribulation. The Bible teaches that the antichrist will kill the believers.

@@robbietrimmer9752 correct
@@robbietrimmer9752 oops I should have expanded on what I was saying thank you though
What extrabiblical texts from any apostolic church father supports your assertion that the early church taught the rapture? They don’t exist. Your assertion about church history up to the time of Constantine is fictional myth.
The “blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church,” was from Tertullian, not an early historian.
The Byzantium church was not Augustinian. The church fathers were all Greek. Augustine was Latin, and did not know the Greek fathers. But, yes, there was corruption. There was also a preservation of basic orthodox faith through many centuries. It was under Constantine that the bible was canonized. The authority of the scriptures is established by the authority of the Church.
Your teaching is proof texts fit into a theological construct which is both innovative and relatively recent. It is not what the church fathers taught in the first, second, third or fourth century. It is not what your learned from personal bible study or revelation. It is what you learned from others.
Your creation theology is equally flawed. Genesis 1:1 is a creation of the heavens and earth. This was before day one which. Verses 3 and 4 come much later as Day !. The universe is much older than 6,000 years.
John 14 is not about the rapture. He was literally talking to the 12 disciples. None of them went up in the rapture. 11 were matyred. John may have suffered more than any even thought he was not martyred. Jesus was referring to an ongoing relationship with His disciples. We are made to sit together with Christ in heavenly places.
There is a second coming. As Christ descends, believers who are alive will be caught up to be with Him in the air, and descend with Him. They will be joined to those who have already died.
Rev. 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
For those who watch and who know the Jewish feasts of Lev. 23, Jesus will not come unexpectedly.
I have had my heart broken listening to other channels [semi] predicting the soon rapture.

JESUS NEVER TAUGHT THE RAPTURE ! ! Show me a verse from Jesus where He says we are caught up ! Yes Jesus said I go to prepare a place for you. BUT, He didn't say for the Church. He meant those Apostles. In speaking of His father's house Jhn 2:16 He meant the temple that he will build, And both Jesus and the 12 Apostles will occupy Mat 19:18. God does NOT have a house in Heaven. The Bible says God inhabits eternity.
Yeah the rapture isn’t real and wasn’t taught. Only a few go to heaven. No where in the Bible is the rapture taught, we all will face tribulation. Some will survive it while others will be persecuted just like all the apostles. Those who believe in the rapture will turn from God because they’re really weak at heart. They’ll be the ones that are turned away because HE never knew them.
Bruh have you ever read the Bible?

I wish I could tell you how many hours I have listening to presentations. It's well over 10k. I'm not a christian so I'm going to give you my perspective on how you present things. I may not believe in the Bible fully but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to listen or perhaps learn certain parts of it. This is just something for you to reflect on. I'm not trying to be mean or offensive just friendly advice. I feel like your talking about THE MOST interesting topics on the Bible and somehow your finding a way to make them boring. Just look at the first three minutes and understand as a listener and non believer I'm already bored and moving on. You going on in the first three minutes about all this history is just wasting time in the eyes of a casual viewer. I think your making the mistake of assuming that people care about all these things your saying ***(I feel like scholars would appreciate this type of speaking more, Were not scholars)***. I don't think people want this entire history run down. I understand your trying to tell people why they should believe this, but I believe you could have skipped this entire segment and showed people in the Bible and they would have appreciated that more. I would look at how other people in your field present this information and reflect on how you do it. Perhaps being more concise and to the point would benefit you more. You have to rememeber the only people willing to sit through rhetoric is people that already believe. If your presenting to people who don't believe you need to be as quick as possible with the information and be more compelling. I think a good example of this would be. Say I were speaking of the crucifixion. I could wow a listener from that verse that may not particularly be interesting by showing them how Jesus is fulfilling a prophecy in that verse from Psalms that was written 700 years ago and that reason Jesus cried out My god my god he is just quoting a passage from psalms so the Jews understood what they were doing to him as he was saying that outloud. You have to present verses and show why they are so important rather than just reading them. Tie things to together in interesting ways. Create topics around these ideas. This is the best way to present Christianity imo. If I were a Christian apologetic I would present all of my information towards nonbelievers because then your attracting both audiences. Believer's and Nonbeliever's. I would also emphasize my content more towards non believers because if you truly believe in your doctrine it would seem to me that your main goal is to save as many people as possible and I would be figuring out how to do that. Even something as simple as talking to people in the street, Christians ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do this wrong. They usually go up to them can I talk to you about Jesus then start saying versus. THIS is how you talk to random non believers on the street. You go up to them ask them if they believe in Jesus. If they say no you just simply ask them what are the reasons you don't believe? Then just shatter each reason 1 by 1 until they have no reason not to believe anymore. It's actually easier said than done. There are alot of answers to alot of the biggest problems with Christianity. You would be surprised the effect of just keeping things simple will have. I would be curious to see if I could convert a nonbeliever as a nonbeliever. I honestly think I could. I have had alot of the problems I have had with the Bible addressed so I know all the problems and answers to them mostly. I just have a few more things to look into mostly. I also mostly wrote this because this is the second video from you where I wanted to stop halfway through. I watched another video of yours about end times which is probably one of my favorite topics so I know when I want to click off of that there is something your doing wrong imo. I do have alot of respect for your knowledge and your hard work : ) I will give you a sub and like because of these things.

Jesus did not teach a pre trib rapture and you know it. You twist the scripture in order to argue with Christ. Christ specifically tells us over and over again that we must be prepared and that we will be turned over to the courts by our own families and children, and that we will be killed in his name. Many of his parables taught to constantly be ready for his return, and to be prepared. There is not one verse in the scripture that says, don’t worry you will be magically rescued in a pre-second coming of Christ and not to worry, and that you won’t need to be prepared for the tribulation because you won’t be here. For you to argue this is heresy. Why do you keep arguing something the scripture clearly does not say? What a waste of a life to preach for years and years and years to minister to so many and yet argue, exactly opposite of what Christ told us to do. To me, this is the definition of insanity and foolishness. And yet you do it again and again, and again. Shame on you, John Barnett.
And here you are
Talking nonsense
Jesus did not teach a pre-trib rapture.
Right
Paul did
Jesus prophesied it clearly to his disciples in John 14
Along with other things
Jesus indeed taught them
You need some schooling
@@robbietrimmer9752 When speaking about the rapture in 2 Thess 2:1, Paul uses the word “episynagōgē” (G1997), which is from the word “episynagō” (G1996) - the exact word that Christ used in Matt 24:31 regarding the gathering of the elect immediately after the tribulation. Paul is referring directly to Christ’s own teaching in the Olivet Discourse and connects the “watching” for the rapture with Jesus’ instructions for His disciples to be watching for His coming “immediately after the tribulation.”
@@robbietrimmer9752 Before the rapture, which Paul says happens on the Day of the Lord, we will see Antichrist revealed (2 Thess. 2:3, “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it [the Day of the Lord and our gathering to Him] will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed …”). According to Joel 2:31, Matt 24:29 and Zech 14:1,7, the Day of the Lord is immediately after the tribulation.
@@2Timothy2.15 praise God! Those are the same verses He has shown me.
Pretrib rapture is a lie and a deception

So when nothing of what you predicts happens, what will you do then? You are a prophet of Satan
I am going to leave another comment here on 22 July reminding you that my position is 100% unchanged.
I believe what Jesus died about his coming back to take us home. I don’t believe the phony rapture teaching that came out in 1582 introduced as the counter reformation theory, which was a deliberate changing of thought to try to turn protestants’s eyes in a different direction,
the only thing on earth that is going to be taken out is sin
Christ is already here waiting for you to rise up to meet Him in the air
you are the temple of God
God dwells in the heart of every man woman and child, so love one another
Christ is not here waiting on us, we are waiting on Him to call us when He comes to the clouds.

I wish people stop adding to the Scriptures. There's no word rapture or word trinity in the Bible. He is also adding in his interpretation. I'm glad I didn't have him for my degree.😢
3:7 πάντοτε μανθάνοντα καὶ μηδέποτε εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας ἐλθεῖν δυνάμενα.
The Bible was not written in English. The KJV uses "caught up." The Greek Bible uses "Harpazo." The Latin translation is "Rapturo."
Btw: The word "Bible" isn't in the Bible, either.
Too bad "your degree" will not get you to heaven.
Sorry this is incorrect. Jesus did not teach the rapture. That was introduced by Paul later on, Jesus did teach his imminent return, those are two different things. I love this guy sometimes he locks down into his own nonsense.
The "imminent return" can not be true either because Paul told us in 2 Thessalonians 2 that 3 things must happen before "our gathering to him."
1) falling away
2) removal of the restrainer
3) Antichrist revealed - - Christians will see this before the rapture
4) AFTER all 3 of the above, only then, Paul says the "gathering to him" will happen
So, it can not be "imminent" if all these things MUST happen first.
pre trib rapture is not originally biblical.. christ returns in the end.. not before
Please help me understand then: When do the rooms that Jesus was preparing for the Faithful (in His Father's house) be used?

Rapture of bible and rapture of Jesuit Francisco Ribera 1590 Dispensationalism is not the same.
Matthew 24:29-31 KJV
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: [30] 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. [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.
According to scripture; Christ Rapture/Second coming take place visibly and audibly after the tribulation.
Dispensationalism falsehood of Jesuit Francisco Ribera 1590 to counter the Protestant Reformation of Christ Rev 12:6,14, is Christ coming as a secret, invisibly before the tribulation; clear contradiction to scripture.
Its really very simple, in Matthew 24 his disciples asked Jesus two questions. What will be the signs of his coming and when will it happen. Jesus answered their two questions in the same chapter. The when part is in verse 29, "after the tribulation". I don't understand why many christians can't accept what Jesus has said "after the tribulation". Some say that there is nothing that has to happen before Jesus comes to rapture his church. Not according to what Paul has said in 2 Thessalonians 2,3. Let no man decieve you by any means: for that day ( the coming of the Lord day) shall not come except there come a falling away first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. I do keep my eye out for this fellow but so far he has not been revealed. I can understand why christians would not want to go through the tribulation but we can't contradict what Jesus himself has said just to push our own pre trib narative.
Jesus will protect his own but that doesn't mean that he has to rapture us out of the earth to avoid the tribulation.
Here's an encouraging word from Jesus himself when he was in the garden praying for his disciples in John17,15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. Why didn't he pray that God would just rapture them out.
@@miltonalexander6769 amen so true.
Georg Nigrinus (1530 - 1602)
“This Jesuit further contends that the Papacy cannot be antichrist because the Papacy has lasted for centuries, but that the antichrist is supposed to reign only for 3 1/2 years … But no one doubts today that Daniel spoke of YEAR-DAYS, not literal days … The prophetic time-periods of forty-two months, 1260 days, 1, 2, 1/2 times are prophetic, and according to Ezekiel 4, a day must be taken for a year.” (Translated from “Nigrinus, Antichrists Grundliche Offenbarung” fols.28v. 29r.)
Rev 12:15,16 if Protestant America had continued in Historicism truth of Jesus Christ that the Papacy is Antichrist and must reign for 1260 prophetic days, according to Ezek 4:6, Numb 14:34, from 538AD-1798AD Papacy received the deadly wound by Napoleon general Berthier fulfilling Rev 13:10. They would understand that Papacy must arise once again as in dark ages Rev 12:6,14, 13:5. But prophecy must be fulfilled. Rev 13:11,12, Apostate Protestant America, secret rapture false prophets will indeed heal deadly wound of the Antichrist the Papacy.

@bigal1863 I beg youR PARDEN !!! I'M gonna tell you straight. Father God and Jesus through the Holy Spirit wants Me to warn the false pretrib rapture doctrine believers about preparing for the antichrist the mark of the beast and the tribulation!! So is go to the places that preach the false pretrib rapture doctrine and attempt to help them!! For your information I'm doing EXACTLY what I'm supposed to be doing. Now if you would like tovreread scriptures without the false pretrib rapture doctrine bias maybe you can prepare you and your friends and family for the revealing of antichrist and the mark of the beast and tribulation!! Here is 2 passages with easy simple summary. 1thess4: 15-17 tells us the resurrection of the dead believers happens when Jesus returns and the resurrection of the dead believers happens first before the catching up harpazo gathering together or rapture!! Rev20: 4-6 tells us the FIRST resurrection of the dead believers includes martyrs of the tribulation refusing the mark of the beast making the resurrection of the dead believers posttrib!! Making the rapture posttrib!! No pretrib preacher/ teacher has ever been able to refute this except by asking !! Is it really the first resurrection ?? That's satan saying to Eve " did God say you will really die"?? Remember to be humble and simple as a child!! I don't want any of my fellow believers to be unprepared and fall away taking the mark of the beast. 2thess2. Rev14: 9-11
You still causing believers to not prepare for the due season of the mark of the beast and antichrist and tribulation!!

Your knowledge of the character of our God is very poor. There are many reasons for the rapture to occur before God pours out His wrath on an unbelieving and Christ rejecting world. That’s not us.
In Luke 31:36 He tells us, “therefore, pray always that you may be worthy to “escape” these things that are coming upon the earth. The word escape in the original Greek ekpheugo “to flee out”.
In Revelation 3:10 Jesus says, “I will also keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test them that dwell upon the earth. The Greek word here is tereo which translates “to guard from loss or injury” and dwell in the Greek is katoikeo “permanently reside” again, not us.
1Thes 4:17 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds. The Greek word for “caught up” is harpazo “to catch away, take by force”. That’s us.
Secondly, Noah was kept through (type and shadow of the Jews which are kept during tribulation. Whereas Lot was removed before destruction. Type and shadow of us.
Enoch was raptured before the flood. Elijah was raptured.
Third, we are the body of Christ. God has poured out His wrath on Christs body once. He will not do it again. Moses was not allowed into the Promised Land. Why? Because he struck the Rock twice which was type and shadow of Jesus. He was instructed once: strike the rock, he did. Then he was told to speak with the rock and due to his temper he struck it a second time.
Fourth, Jesus is going to keep the Jewish remnant from the dragon in the wilderness 1260 days. The unbelieving, unrepentant Jews He keeps from satans wrath; but the believing obedient church/body is to be beheaded? No. Not His character. Blessed is he who believes and has not seen. John 20:29.
Looking for our Blessed Hope Titus 2:13.
Therefore, comfort one another with these words. 1 Thes 4:18
Is it blessed and comforting to be running and hiding from Satan and get our heads cut off? No.
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, 1 Thes 5:9
Contemplate these things. Consider Gods love for us. Consider we are not Christ rejecting and unbelieving. Consider also, the greatest testimony we can give is to be taken and the mockers and scoffers will know that all we had taught them was true. Why else would some refuse to take the mark? Everyone who doesn’t know the truth of God will take it for earthly survival. (Earth dwellers)
Rapture is not false doctrine. Rapture is Gods way, His character as a loving and covenant keeping God.
Holy Spirit will reveal this truth to you if you ask Him to. Be blessed in this hope of faith. Maranatha
your knowledge of the character of our God is not only very poor. It is comparable to a scoffer - without faith you will not please God, so you will stay here!
@windkind64 really?? I'm so glad you used scripture to point out my error. On the other hand . As loving and kind I would like to point out 2 passages that you can contemplate!! And then I will make a statement!! 1thess4: 15-17 notice that the resurrection of the dead believers happens first before the catching up harpazo gathering together or rapture!! Rev20: 4-6 tells us the FIRST resurrection of the dead believers includes martyrs of the tribulation refusing the mark of the beast making the resurrection of the dead believers posttrib!! Resurrection before rapture that makes rapture posttrib!! My statement as a question. Why would Father God and Jesus through the Holy Spirit take us out when it will be the greatest spiritual battle of ALL TIME?? Reference John 17:15 Jesus specifically prays NOT TO TAKE US OUT OF THE WORLD BUT TO " KEEP FROM THE EVIL!!" Keep from as in protection. Rev3:10 ?keep from ( protection).
