00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:02.839
<v Speaker 1>Dirty hands means clean theology.

2
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Can you dig it?

3
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>What's going on? All my local guys and gals and

4
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>long distance paths?

5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:13.039
<v Speaker 3>We're back.

6
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:15.679
<v Speaker 2>The raspy is bad.

7
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.280
<v Speaker 3>That's the best I can do. I don't have that deep,

8
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:26.039
<v Speaker 3>sultry Ben voice that you know you all love out there.

9
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 3>But but I think Ben's not with us tonight.

10
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

11
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>We had some technical difficulties, to say the least. We

12
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>got started like an hour and a half late with

13
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>some technical issues, and he just said, guys, I've had

14
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:40.679
<v Speaker 1>a rough day.

15
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:42.159
<v Speaker 2>This is all on you.

16
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm hitting the.

17
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it was uh Yeah, we're behind schedule a

18
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:49.880
<v Speaker 3>little bit, but that's all right. We're gonna we're gonna

19
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.520
<v Speaker 3>push on through. Sometimes when we have those difficulties, I

20
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 3>think it's because something's trying to stop you from getting

21
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 3>some some good nuggets out there.

22
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we got a pretty good show for you guys.

23
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>And it was honestly something that we got together pretty

24
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.879
<v Speaker 1>quick because it's something we've already studied and had some

25
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>notes piled up and was kind of in the holster

26
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>ready to be pulled out with it.

27
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's something that I've always thought was really interesting

28
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 3>and it goes back to really, I guess more for

29
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.239
<v Speaker 3>me for high school because I went to a Lutheran

30
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 3>high school and they had us watch these the Left

31
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 3>Behind movies. And I'm not talking about the g rated

32
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 3>Kirk Cameron, which don't get me wrong, I love some

33
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 3>Kirk Cameron. But if you go back to those seventies

34
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 3>Left Behind movies, that's the most terrifying thing I've ever

35
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 3>seen in my life. I mean that was back in

36
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 3>that where they try to convert you by fear, a

37
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:58.959
<v Speaker 3>style of the show because it was those If you've

38
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.799
<v Speaker 3>never seen those and if if you can find them,

39
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 3>and I'm sure they're probably out there, so there's probably

40
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 3>on YouTube or something now. But you know, as far

41
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 3>as the whole New World Order and everything that goes

42
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 3>along with the rapture, and it's I mean, it even

43
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 3>talks about what you know biblically. It talks about people

44
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 3>losing their heads, and that's quite literally what happens in

45
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 3>those movies. They have a guillotine out back and if

46
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 3>you won't renounce Jesus, off with your head. I mean,

47
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 3>it's terrifying.

48
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen it, dude.

49
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 3>It will change you in ways you could be a

50
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 3>stout believer. But it's just it's it's one person's depiction,

51
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 3>one person's depiction of what the end days will look like.

52
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 3>Granted there we're going to get into it a lot here.

53
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:51.520
<v Speaker 3>But there's so many different theories and ideas about, uh,

54
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 3>about you know, the end times and about what's going

55
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 3>to happen. You know, we hear about the trumpet blast.

56
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 3>We hear about you know, Jesus coming back down. You know,

57
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 3>he's coming back the same way he ascended. We hear

58
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 3>so many different things about this, and the problem is

59
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.879
<v Speaker 3>is that we're taking these all from the the the

60
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 3>books of the Bible. You know, mainly i'd say, Daniel,

61
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.919
<v Speaker 3>there's a little Jeremiah in there, Thessalonians, but but Revelation

62
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 3>where it's really the it's it's all very prophetic and

63
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 3>a lot of those things. You know, it's hard because

64
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 3>when when people read that, oh this is this is prophecy,

65
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.120
<v Speaker 3>it's prophetic. There's a lot of symbology or you know,

66
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 3>symbolism here, but then they want to take certain things

67
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 3>very literal. It's like you can't have your you can't

68
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Speaker 3>have your ice cream and eat it too. It just

69
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 3>doesn't work. That way. There's so many different layers. So

70
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 3>if we take you know, if we take some of

71
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 3>these prophetic books at that face value and we take

72
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 3>it right there as as either literal or we take

73
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.080
<v Speaker 3>it as prophetic, you can't really pick and choose.

74
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>And this is something too. It's you know, like hermeneutics,

75
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, let the words say what it says, and

76
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 1>also put your preconceived notions in your dogma, leave it

77
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 1>at the door, and just give it an honest study

78
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and look at it from all angles and just kind

79
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.439
<v Speaker 1>of see, you know, what makes the most sense, you know,

80
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>and what does the scripture say versus what does man

81
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 1>say and what you've been taught. And this is another

82
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>subject where I was raised, you know, Baptist, and I

83
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 1>was raised you know, pre trip and I was taught

84
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 1>that my entire life. And of course, I mean I

85
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>would lack nothing more than to be out of here

86
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 1>watching from up above and not be a part of it.

87
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:54.360
<v Speaker 1>But it's one of those things, man, when you read

88
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>it and study it, you know, my view on it's

89
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:58.040
<v Speaker 1>changed a little bit.

90
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 3>It has, and I think I think it's important. One thing.

91
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 3>I think it's important for us to say and I'll

92
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 3>agree with you one hundred percent. Is that my view

93
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 3>and my belief on this is going to be different

94
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.480
<v Speaker 3>than maybe yours, and it's gonna be different than people

95
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.000
<v Speaker 3>that listen to this too. But I think it's really

96
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 3>important to dive into it yourself, look at it, really

97
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 3>read it, really see what it says, because a lot

98
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 3>of things that have come out of this and our

99
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 3>ideas of this are something that it's one other person's interpretation.

100
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 3>We're not taking it straight from the scripture. We're taking

101
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.680
<v Speaker 3>it from someone saying, hey, this is a seven year tribulation. Hey,

102
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 3>this is going to happen at the end of this,

103
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:40.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, the seventieth week of Daniel. And that's one

104
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 3>person's interpretation of that scripture that doesn't necessarily give you

105
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.199
<v Speaker 3>there's not one certain verse that says this is going

106
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 3>to be seven years. It's interpretation and how people break

107
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 3>down that seventy years and they go back to Ezekiel,

108
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.439
<v Speaker 3>another prophetic book, and then they break down and say, well,

109
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, a year is equal to a day, and

110
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.720
<v Speaker 3>so they break it down from there. So they're going

111
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 3>back and forth through books, different prophetic books written by

112
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 3>different people and trying to connect things, and I think

113
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:10.800
<v Speaker 3>it's important to try to connect things. But at the

114
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 3>same time, I really think that you have to look

115
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 3>at it for yourself, because if we just take everybody's

116
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 3>word for everything, it's we've seen already and the things

117
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 3>that we've talked about that it is not always at

118
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.800
<v Speaker 3>face value. And when we look at the big picture,

119
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.199
<v Speaker 3>in that divine worldview that we talk about the Divine

120
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 3>World Council, you see that that view was suppressed for

121
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.360
<v Speaker 3>hundreds of years. You know, we go back far enough.

122
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.600
<v Speaker 3>You see the supernatural in the Bible, but that gets

123
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 3>suppressed because people want to hold the idea that that

124
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.759
<v Speaker 3>that these angelic beings and other things. You know, we

125
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:58.759
<v Speaker 3>talk about Satan all these these these other deities, and

126
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.160
<v Speaker 3>I lose I use Satan at loose terminology. If you

127
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 3>haven't listened to the Derek Gilbert episode on the Lucifer

128
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:06.720
<v Speaker 3>and Satan, I think that's a pretty good one for

129
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 3>you to go listen to. But when you look back

130
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.560
<v Speaker 3>at all these you see that we're taking you know,

131
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 3>maybe it's early Church Father's interpretation. Maybe it's we're looking

132
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.519
<v Speaker 3>at John Kelvin, or we're looking at Martin Luther and

133
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:26.519
<v Speaker 3>how they changed the viewpoints that we hold and based

134
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:31.680
<v Speaker 3>on our denominations or based on what your church ascribes to,

135
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:33.839
<v Speaker 3>and we can't all be right.

136
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, before we get any too deeper, let's sorry, back

137
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.680
<v Speaker 1>it up and we'll go ahead and open up in prayer.

138
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 2>You got it or my turn?

139
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.720
<v Speaker 3>I got it all right, Dear Lord, thank you for

140
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.480
<v Speaker 3>everything you've giving us. Thank you for letting us be

141
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 3>here tonight. Please help us reach out and reach that

142
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.160
<v Speaker 3>one person that needs to hear your word, Lord, and

143
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.399
<v Speaker 3>help us create some kind of conversation or some fire

144
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:04.800
<v Speaker 3>that someone really wants to dig into your word and

145
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:10.160
<v Speaker 3>really find the truth for themselves. Use your word as

146
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:12.360
<v Speaker 3>a way to speak to others, and help us be

147
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 3>a mouthpiece for you, Lord. And then your name, we pray.

148
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:21.399
<v Speaker 2>Amen, Amen. Well, I guess to start off with, if you.

149
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 1>Were to define rapture, I look that up. You know

150
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the North American definition, you know, according to some you

151
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.600
<v Speaker 1>know Millennium teaching is you know, it's the transporting of

152
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:38.720
<v Speaker 1>believers to heaven at the second Coming of Christ. You know,

153
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>thousands of Christians gathered outside Rochester and other cities awaiting

154
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.159
<v Speaker 1>the rapture as an example. And what's crazy. Is this

155
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 1>is this word derives from the French and medieval Latin raptura,

156
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.279
<v Speaker 1>which it means seizing, you know, or rapture, the carrying off.

157
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, this was in like the late sixteenth entry,

158
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.639
<v Speaker 1>and then in English he goes to wrapt you know,

159
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.399
<v Speaker 1>it's like the root word. But the mentions of it

160
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:11.279
<v Speaker 1>were at its highest in the eighteen hundreds, and then

161
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.360
<v Speaker 1>when you get to eighteen fifty, it slopes down to

162
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.200
<v Speaker 1>about halfway nineteen ninety, another halfway down. Nineteen fifty it

163
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>was at its all time low, but then it started

164
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to curve back up around two thousand and you know,

165
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:27.720
<v Speaker 1>ten to twenty and fourteen, but it's still nowhere near

166
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>where it was at during the eighteen hundreds.

167
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.600
<v Speaker 3>But this is I think it's important. Like I said

168
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.799
<v Speaker 3>that we look at this and we always say that

169
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:42.639
<v Speaker 3>from the scriptural context, and once again we're taking a

170
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:46.279
<v Speaker 3>person's you know, interpretation, and that's like you guys, taking

171
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.120
<v Speaker 3>us what we're saying right here as scriptural gold. And

172
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.080
<v Speaker 3>that's that's not how it is. Our whole thing right

173
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.000
<v Speaker 3>here is to get you to look into things, is

174
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 3>get you to question things and to really dive into

175
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:02.519
<v Speaker 3>your Bible, let God speak to you, because because if

176
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 3>you just take one man's word for it, if you

177
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 3>just listen to one person, say oh, well they got

178
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.240
<v Speaker 3>it figured out, so I don't have to that's where

179
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:12.879
<v Speaker 3>people get lost a lot of times.

180
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:14.759
<v Speaker 2>This is just our interpretation.

181
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.039
<v Speaker 3>This is our interpretation. But at the same time, you

182
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.240
<v Speaker 3>could and we've looked at a bunch of different people's

183
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.240
<v Speaker 3>the way that they've portrayed it.

184
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.279
<v Speaker 1>And formed our own opinion and formed our own opinion.

185
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 3>But at the same time, you could do the same

186
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.240
<v Speaker 3>thing and that and and I will say this and this,

187
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.240
<v Speaker 3>and I don't like to be a spoiler at the

188
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:35.000
<v Speaker 3>beginning of an episode, but I'm gonna.

189
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:35.399
<v Speaker 2>Have to say it.

190
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.759
<v Speaker 3>I still say it. Michael Heiser said, this question will

191
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 3>never be answered until it happens. Michael Heiser said that,

192
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 3>he said he's looked into this forever and he said

193
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:53.039
<v Speaker 3>it's something that can never be answered at face value.

194
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, even Paul said, you know, this is a mystery.

195
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.799
<v Speaker 3>It is a mystery. And so we're talking this stuff

196
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.799
<v Speaker 3>is is going to be based on our interpretation of

197
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:04.519
<v Speaker 3>the scripture. It's going to be based on and the

198
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:07.799
<v Speaker 3>way that we view this and what we read, and

199
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.000
<v Speaker 3>my opinion changed a lot just by getting into this

200
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:14.720
<v Speaker 3>because the same as Justin, I was raised Lutheran, and

201
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, most of the time it's very pre trib

202
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.879
<v Speaker 3>where you think that we're going to be and maybe

203
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.120
<v Speaker 3>we should, maybe we should go into the definitions of

204
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.679
<v Speaker 3>the different ideology of certain people before we get too far.

205
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:29.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and we'll get there with the different ones. But

206
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know this. But do you know where pre

207
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>tribulation theology and dispensationalism came from? The start point?

208
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm listening, okay, And.

209
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.320
<v Speaker 1>This is a I got this pulled off from. I

210
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:47.039
<v Speaker 1>can't remember the source. I looked it up online, but

211
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:50.799
<v Speaker 1>it said that this didn't exist before the nineteenth century.

212
00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Around eighteen twenty, you know, was the most common time

213
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.279
<v Speaker 1>of the conception.

214
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:57.440
<v Speaker 2>They believe.

215
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 1>But it began during a revival in skull Stland a

216
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:04.600
<v Speaker 1>teenage girl named McDonald who claimed to have a vision

217
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:08.759
<v Speaker 1>of a pre tribulation rapture. And then a reverend, a

218
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>famous one named Darby, happened to be there who he

219
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.000
<v Speaker 1>really latched on this idea. This man was one of

220
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the founders of Plymouth Brethren denomination and began to preach

221
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.320
<v Speaker 1>this theology. Darby took this teaching with him to the

222
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.240
<v Speaker 1>United States and the founding of the New World. He

223
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 1>came in contact with the Billy Graham of that day,

224
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:33.039
<v Speaker 1>which was Dwight L. Moody, founder of the Moody Bible

225
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Institute and the Moody Press. Moody became the worldwide distributor

226
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.240
<v Speaker 1>of this theology. Many novels were written holding to this idea,

227
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>one called Jesus's Coming. Then we have the Schofield Reference Bible.

228
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:49.519
<v Speaker 1>This was the first of its kind to have headings

229
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.759
<v Speaker 1>in the Biblical text. Jesus Predicts the Rapture was a

230
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:57.639
<v Speaker 1>famous heading there in Matthew twenty four. They planted these

231
00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 1>beliefs into the Bible.

232
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:00.919
<v Speaker 2>So this started with a.

233
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Vision from a teenage girl in Scotland at a revival.

234
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, this was something that was repeated enough until

235
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.399
<v Speaker 1>it was believed, and scripture was twisted to fit people's

236
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>preconceived notions. So this all started with a teenage girl

237
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:19.759
<v Speaker 1>at a revival in Scotland that said she had a

238
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 1>vision from an angel of a pre tribulation rapture.

239
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.559
<v Speaker 3>Once again, like I said, we're taking and it's funny

240
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.960
<v Speaker 3>if you look back and you can look through even

241
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.320
<v Speaker 3>people who weren't necessarily Christians at the time, but Josephus

242
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 3>or Asebius or you go through all these other church fathers,

243
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:44.720
<v Speaker 3>and we've adopted so much of their ideologies and just

244
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:50.159
<v Speaker 3>made them doctrine. But it's based on their interpretation, and

245
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.919
<v Speaker 3>we're taking that one person's interpretation to heart if we

246
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:59.200
<v Speaker 3>aren't reaching out, praying and praying for that discernment and

247
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:04.120
<v Speaker 3>reaching and reaching towards God's word and looking into these things.

248
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:06.840
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not saying to not take the word of

249
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.639
<v Speaker 3>some other people to some degree, but you you test

250
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:12.759
<v Speaker 3>the spirits, test what you're hearing, Yeah, because you can't

251
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:15.440
<v Speaker 3>just take something at face value. If I told you

252
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 3>the sky was falling today, you're not. You're gonna look

253
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.480
<v Speaker 3>at me like, eh. But if if Martin Luther said

254
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.960
<v Speaker 3>this guy you know, or who's a good example, if

255
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.840
<v Speaker 3>we go back to Tertullian, Tertullian, he said the sky

256
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.960
<v Speaker 3>is gonna fall in you know, twenty twenty three, everybody

257
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:33.360
<v Speaker 3>be like, ooh, now we got to be on the

258
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.080
<v Speaker 3>edge of our seats, you know, y two k or

259
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:37.120
<v Speaker 3>something of the all these different things were you know,

260
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 3>no stradamis we believe what these you know, not we,

261
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.159
<v Speaker 3>but people in general have believed a lot of what

262
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.879
<v Speaker 3>these people say based on just their interpretation of events.

263
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:52.679
<v Speaker 3>And it's not it's not unfortunately, it's their interpretation of scripture,

264
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.440
<v Speaker 3>but there's not something specific that truly says. And it

265
00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 3>is a lot of interpretation, and it's a lot of

266
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 3>trickle down because you see things that are translated a

267
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.120
<v Speaker 3>certain way into the Greek and that are translated a

268
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.159
<v Speaker 3>different way into the Latin. We talked about the Latin

269
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:10.080
<v Speaker 3>vulgate and how you were just talking about that with

270
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:15.639
<v Speaker 3>the Latin, how that that terminology changed, and it it is,

271
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 3>it's really unsettling. I guess the more I look at

272
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.039
<v Speaker 3>how much that mask I think has been pulled over

273
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:26.600
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people's eyes because we have just allowed

274
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:30.159
<v Speaker 3>and this is a little off point, but that we've

275
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 3>allowed a lot of these things to change our doctrine.

276
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.480
<v Speaker 3>And if we look across you know, if we go

277
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.080
<v Speaker 3>back to the to Jesus talking to Peter and saying

278
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.840
<v Speaker 3>on this rock, I will build my church. He didn't

279
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:43.919
<v Speaker 3>say all my different churches. He didn't say all my

280
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:48.840
<v Speaker 3>different denominations. He said my church. We have so many

281
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:53.200
<v Speaker 3>differences in our ideologies and our theologies based on the

282
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:54.799
<v Speaker 3>fact that we go to a church that we just

283
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.000
<v Speaker 3>believe that whoever started that denomination, we just felt that

284
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.919
<v Speaker 3>they were right. But you're not looking into it yourself.

285
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's a big problem, and a lot

286
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:06.919
<v Speaker 3>of the stuff we look into. Don't take what we

287
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.639
<v Speaker 3>say right at phase value. Don't say, oh, they're right,

288
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:13.639
<v Speaker 3>look into it yourself. This is what we saw when

289
00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:16.240
<v Speaker 3>we looked into it. Our whole point is to get

290
00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:17.799
<v Speaker 3>you to dig into it yourself.

291
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Amen. And we mentioned the mystery.

292
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.799
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's First Corinthians, chapter fifteen, forty nine through

293
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:26.399
<v Speaker 1>fifty five.

294
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Just as we.

295
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Born, we were born in the image of man of dust,

296
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:35.720
<v Speaker 1>we shall also bear the image of Man of heaven.

297
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I tell you this brother's flesh and blood cannot inherit

298
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the Kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold,

299
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:48.279
<v Speaker 1>I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep,

300
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.600
<v Speaker 1>but we shall all be changed in a moment, in

301
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet, For

302
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable,

303
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.559
<v Speaker 1>and we shall be changed. For this parishalull body must

304
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.359
<v Speaker 1>put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put

305
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:12.160
<v Speaker 1>on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable and

306
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the mortal puts on the immortality, then shall come to

307
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.880
<v Speaker 1>pass the saying that is written, death is swallowed up

308
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:23.279
<v Speaker 1>in victory and old death. Where is your victory and

309
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:28.200
<v Speaker 1>old death? Where is your sting? So you know, just

310
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:30.319
<v Speaker 1>like in our intro, you know, it's the glory of

311
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:32.559
<v Speaker 1>God to conceal a thing, but the glory of Kings

312
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.240
<v Speaker 1>to search things out. And that's just that's what we

313
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:36.920
<v Speaker 1>are attempting to do here today.

314
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's what we attempt to do every day before

315
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:42.440
<v Speaker 3>we're doing this, and honestly, you should attempt to do

316
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:44.960
<v Speaker 3>that every time you're reading your Bible. We talk about

317
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:47.240
<v Speaker 3>that in the beginning. You know, it's that the glory

318
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:50.480
<v Speaker 3>of God to conceal things and the glory of Kings

319
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:55.799
<v Speaker 3>to search things out. And there's you know, I guess

320
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:57.880
<v Speaker 3>jumping in, I guess jumping in a little bit to

321
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:03.079
<v Speaker 3>the different type of ideologies that a lot of these

322
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.240
<v Speaker 3>different either denominations or sects of the church have. You know,

323
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:09.240
<v Speaker 3>you have your pre trib which is what I was

324
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:15.000
<v Speaker 3>raised as you have a mid trib When I say trib,

325
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying mid tribulations. So we're talking about the rapture

326
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:20.559
<v Speaker 3>during the tribulation, when is it gonna happen. So if

327
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:23.880
<v Speaker 3>we say pre trib we're saying before those seven years,

328
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.000
<v Speaker 3>nothing bad's gonna happen to us. Us believers are taken up,

329
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.200
<v Speaker 3>and all the bad things are gonna happen after we leave, which,

330
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.319
<v Speaker 3>like you said, sounds phenomenal. I would love that to happen,

331
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.359
<v Speaker 3>and it's not outside the realm of possibility, but from

332
00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:37.839
<v Speaker 3>what I read, and well, we'll get in there further.

333
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:40.799
<v Speaker 3>But then you have mid trib which is first three

334
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:43.799
<v Speaker 3>and a half years. Once again, we're going off that

335
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:48.880
<v Speaker 3>seven years that has been interpreted from from Daniel.

336
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the seventy weeks.

337
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Just seventy weeks, and that's what it's been interpreted from, which,

338
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:55.759
<v Speaker 3>once again, I think it's interesting that it's the number

339
00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:57.559
<v Speaker 3>seven again, which usually just means.

340
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.599
<v Speaker 2>Completion, means judgment, yes, exactly.

341
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:05.079
<v Speaker 3>So the fact that we're sometimes taking the prophetic word

342
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.480
<v Speaker 3>very literal, and then other times we take the prophetic

343
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.720
<v Speaker 3>word as just oh, it's just symbolic the seventy nations.

344
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:14.519
<v Speaker 3>We're good with the seventy nations as meaning all of them.

345
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:17.720
<v Speaker 3>But then when we talk about the seventy weeks, No,

346
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:19.680
<v Speaker 3>we're going to break down and do math here because

347
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:22.319
<v Speaker 3>we have to figure out. People have a desire to

348
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.519
<v Speaker 3>know when this is going to happen. They want to know.

349
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:28.000
<v Speaker 3>They want to be like, hey, I'm gonna have everything,

350
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:29.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna have all my ducks in a row when

351
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.440
<v Speaker 3>that's gonna happen. But the problem is it says he'll

352
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:35.480
<v Speaker 3>come like a thief in the night. No one will

353
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:38.240
<v Speaker 3>know the day or the hour. And Jesus even said

354
00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:40.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know. Only my father in Heaven knows.

355
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.119
<v Speaker 1>And see, and that goes back to even being was

356
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:45.400
<v Speaker 1>talking about. That was something that he wanted to talk about,

357
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:49.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, was the the culture of the Jewish people

358
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.759
<v Speaker 1>and with the marriage contracts, you know how that referred

359
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:56.160
<v Speaker 1>back to that. You know, because you took the cup,

360
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.160
<v Speaker 1>presented it, you took a drink, you presented it to

361
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the bride. If she accepted, she drank it, then you're

362
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:03.759
<v Speaker 1>in covenant together. That's kind of like what we were

363
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.400
<v Speaker 1>seeing at the Last Supper. But then, uh, the green

364
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:11.200
<v Speaker 1>would go away and prepare a place for the woman.

365
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:14.720
<v Speaker 1>And he might thought the house was done and he

366
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:16.680
<v Speaker 1>was ready to go, but no, he could not go

367
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:20.319
<v Speaker 1>till the Father gave the blessing and said now it's time.

368
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:23.880
<v Speaker 1>So that was another reference there when Jesus was saying,

369
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:25.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, even I don't know, only the

370
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Father knows the time. So that was like another you know,

371
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:31.920
<v Speaker 1>marriage contract, you know, little tidbit.

372
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then we we obviously keep going through and

373
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:41.799
<v Speaker 3>we have the post tribulation idea where you go through

374
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:46.759
<v Speaker 3>the whole uh you know, the whole tribulation period, and

375
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:49.039
<v Speaker 3>then then your rapture, but you return with Jesus at

376
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:51.920
<v Speaker 3>the second coming or read about that time. And then

377
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.599
<v Speaker 3>it says there's there's also well there's also the pre

378
00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:00.799
<v Speaker 3>wrath notion where and like you said earlier, we talked

379
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.559
<v Speaker 3>about this a little bit before. That kinda to some

380
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:08.599
<v Speaker 3>degree coincides with the with the mid tribulation. However, pre

381
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:18.200
<v Speaker 3>wrath is and there's some some references to to the

382
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:21.319
<v Speaker 3>the time of Jacob's trouble, and I think that's back

383
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:24.279
<v Speaker 3>in Jeremiah, if I'm correct, I have that verse or

384
00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:28.720
<v Speaker 3>it says alas this is this is Jeremiah thirty seventh

385
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:30.920
<v Speaker 3>through nine is alas that day is so great there

386
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:33.440
<v Speaker 3>is none like it. It will be a time of

387
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:36.400
<v Speaker 3>distress for Jacob, yet he shall be saved out of it,

388
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:39.039
<v Speaker 3>and it shall come to pass in that day, declares

389
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:41.279
<v Speaker 3>the Lord of Hosts, that I will break his yoke

390
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:43.640
<v Speaker 3>from off your neck, and I will burst your bonds.

391
00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:46.799
<v Speaker 3>And foreigners will no more make a servant of him,

392
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:49.519
<v Speaker 3>but they shall serve the Lord their god, and David

393
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:53.119
<v Speaker 3>their king, whom I will raise up for them. So

394
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:58.440
<v Speaker 3>talking about that, that that final judgment, that pre wrath.

395
00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:01.839
<v Speaker 3>So when we talk about that, we're saying it's after

396
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:06.519
<v Speaker 3>that midway section, because the beginning of it is is

397
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:08.559
<v Speaker 3>is the beginning of that section will be more that

398
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:12.319
<v Speaker 3>Satan's wrath right where where that's being loosed on us,

399
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:17.799
<v Speaker 3>and then God's wrath is the ultimate judgment at the end. Bold, Yes, exactly,

400
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:21.759
<v Speaker 3>And that's what anybody who's pre wrath believes it will

401
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:24.640
<v Speaker 3>be taken before God's wrath is poured out on everybody.

402
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:29.400
<v Speaker 3>So that's kind of the four main ideologies. You can

403
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:31.680
<v Speaker 3>break them down into three with some subsets if you

404
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:34.640
<v Speaker 3>wanted to, but that's that's kind of where most people

405
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:40.680
<v Speaker 3>in the in the the church especially fall uh. And

406
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:43.279
<v Speaker 3>each one there's I mean, there's reasons why people believe

407
00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:46.359
<v Speaker 3>each one I mean, and there I mean, there's there's

408
00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:49.839
<v Speaker 3>scripture that, depending on your interpretation, can back up your idea.

409
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:52.160
<v Speaker 3>And like I said, there's no way to tell for

410
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:54.720
<v Speaker 3>sure what's gonna happen. And believe me, I sure hope

411
00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:57.200
<v Speaker 3>it's pre trib But the more I look into it

412
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:04.519
<v Speaker 3>personally that that's a little it depends a lot on interpretation.

413
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's just go through and break them down a

414
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:10.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit. But before we get that, I guess for

415
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:14.599
<v Speaker 1>those that are not familiar, like to the two main

416
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:19.319
<v Speaker 1>verses that people pulls reference for the rapture, one of

417
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:23.359
<v Speaker 1>the first Thessalonians, chapter four, verse sixteen through seventeen says,

418
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:27.200
<v Speaker 1>for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a

419
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:29.759
<v Speaker 1>shout and a voice of an archangel with the trumpet

420
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:32.319
<v Speaker 1>of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

421
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Then we who are alive and remain shall be called

422
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:37.759
<v Speaker 1>up together with him in the clouds to meet the

423
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.079
<v Speaker 1>Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be

424
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:43.839
<v Speaker 1>with the Lord. And then Matthew twenty four, verse thirty one.

425
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:46.720
<v Speaker 1>And he will send his angel with a great sound

426
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:49.440
<v Speaker 1>of a trumpet, and they will gather together his elect

427
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:52.519
<v Speaker 1>from the four winds, and one end of heaven to

428
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the other. For the parishable must claw himself with the

429
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:58.839
<v Speaker 1>n parishful, and for the mortal with the immortality. Then

430
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.559
<v Speaker 1>the perishable has been off with the imperishable, and the

431
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:05.279
<v Speaker 1>mortal with the immortality, then saying what is written shall come.

432
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:09.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's basically like the Corinthians verse that we mentioned

433
00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:13.359
<v Speaker 1>earlier with Paul talking about the mystery. You know, but

434
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:15.759
<v Speaker 1>one thing I asked before we get into the breaking down.

435
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was, you know, like my little sense

436
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:22.160
<v Speaker 1>of humor kicking in, brace yourselves. But you know, I asked,

437
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:25.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, well, how many times does Jesus return? You know,

438
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:28.920
<v Speaker 1>we see him returning again to defeat Satan in Revelation

439
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.039
<v Speaker 1>nineteen in verse twenty one. You know, he said he

440
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:35.160
<v Speaker 1>would return to save those who believe and follow after

441
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:37.880
<v Speaker 1>him and judge those that who do not. You know,

442
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.960
<v Speaker 1>So to me, you know, it's like some people call

443
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:46.319
<v Speaker 1>the the Yo Yo gang, you know, or like us Southerners,

444
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:48.079
<v Speaker 1>we like to fish. So you know, you can talk

445
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:50.759
<v Speaker 1>like a bobber. He's like a barber in a pond,

446
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:52.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, like Morgan Wallen going up.

447
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Down, upwn up down. Oh, come on, that's funny.

448
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Where it's well else said, well said, no, it's that's

449
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:09.279
<v Speaker 3>that right there. Makes a big difference if you look

450
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:14.240
<v Speaker 3>at the the scripture in the wave of when when

451
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:19.160
<v Speaker 3>he'll return, like what is truly the second coming? And

452
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:23.599
<v Speaker 3>when is the second coming? So that changes a lot

453
00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:26.079
<v Speaker 3>based on you know, the scripture you just read. But

454
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:28.440
<v Speaker 3>I think it's interesting too. At the end of that

455
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:31.400
<v Speaker 3>scripture said that you'll be drawn up with him, but

456
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:35.480
<v Speaker 3>it's it's it's a term of the way. Finish that

457
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:38.440
<v Speaker 3>verse again, because it's a it's a definition of finality.

458
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:42.400
<v Speaker 3>When you're there, you're there like that, you don't come back, right,

459
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:46.359
<v Speaker 3>So when when we're drawn up, you're not coming back.

460
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:49.319
<v Speaker 3>And we just talked about that a little bit with

461
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:52.200
<v Speaker 3>the let so go ahead. You can read that again.

462
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:55.359
<v Speaker 1>See yeah, in the very last scenes it says, and

463
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:58.519
<v Speaker 1>thus we shall always be with the.

464
00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:03.359
<v Speaker 3>Lord, So we're when we go with him, we're never

465
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:06.960
<v Speaker 3>devoid of him again. We're with him for eternity. At

466
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:10.039
<v Speaker 3>that point, I guess the argument could be made that

467
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:13.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, he comes back or he when he does

468
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.799
<v Speaker 3>come down, then he is you know, we're part of

469
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:23.200
<v Speaker 3>his army at the end. So, like I said, it

470
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:24.880
<v Speaker 3>comes down a lot to interpretation.

471
00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:29.240
<v Speaker 1>But with some people, like when you get to you know,

472
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:31.039
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about you know, pre trib you know, and

473
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.160
<v Speaker 1>you discussed that pretty well. You know that before the

474
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:39.160
<v Speaker 1>seven year tribulation. You know, God's people are withdrawn. One

475
00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:41.519
<v Speaker 1>verse that I see a lot of people like to

476
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:45.319
<v Speaker 1>go to is Revelation, chapter three and verse ten. Because

477
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:48.240
<v Speaker 1>you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will

478
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:52.200
<v Speaker 1>keep you from the hour of trial that is coming

479
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:55.680
<v Speaker 1>on the whole world to try those that dwell on

480
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:59.359
<v Speaker 1>the earth. You know my opinion with that. You know,

481
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:00.960
<v Speaker 1>like I said, this is all interpretation.

482
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:01.359
<v Speaker 2>Guys.

483
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 1>You know, anybody tells you they got it figured out,

484
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:09.359
<v Speaker 1>run because they don't that if they're being honest with you. You know, Hey,

485
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:11.279
<v Speaker 1>this is what I read. I'm gonna read it to you.

486
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:14.480
<v Speaker 1>This is what it says, and this is my interpretation.

487
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:19.200
<v Speaker 1>That's most honest anybody can be about it. And if

488
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:21.440
<v Speaker 1>anybody says they got it all figured out, God's told

489
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:22.079
<v Speaker 1>them everything.

490
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Run.

491
00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:27.400
<v Speaker 1>But this verse in Revelation you know tells us that

492
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.400
<v Speaker 1>you know we will not have to stand trial at

493
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:34.079
<v Speaker 1>the Great White Throne judgment. You know that Jesus is

494
00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:36.279
<v Speaker 1>are covering in our righteousness, so we don't have to

495
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.079
<v Speaker 1>answer for all of our wrongdoing, you know, because we

496
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:43.119
<v Speaker 1>are all forgiven. And like I stayed before, that's my opinion,

497
00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:46.240
<v Speaker 1>because it says, you know, I will keep you from

498
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:54.160
<v Speaker 1>the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world,

499
00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, So you know my opinion the Great White

500
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:00.279
<v Speaker 1>Throne judgment. As as believers, we don't have to stand

501
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.839
<v Speaker 1>in judgment and in trial because you know our sins

502
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:08.079
<v Speaker 1>are forgiven, you know, Isaiah forty three twenty five. I

503
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:12.240
<v Speaker 1>am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,

504
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:17.839
<v Speaker 1>And I will not remember your sins anymore Hebrews ten seventeen.

505
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:21.359
<v Speaker 1>I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds

506
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Psalms one O three twelve. As far as the east

507
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:28.160
<v Speaker 1>is from the west, so far does he remove our

508
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:31.519
<v Speaker 1>transgressions from us? And then last one I gods Hebrew

509
00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:34.799
<v Speaker 1>eight twelve, and I will forgive their wickedness, and I

510
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:40.279
<v Speaker 1>will never again remember their sins. You're not going to

511
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:43.480
<v Speaker 1>stand trial. I mean, that's how I interpret those verses.

512
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.400
<v Speaker 3>No, to me, that makes it makes sense. I see it.

513
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:50.200
<v Speaker 3>I see it very similar that way. You know, it

514
00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:53.480
<v Speaker 3>says that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess.

515
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:55.559
<v Speaker 3>But those of us who have.

516
00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Already willingly bowed willingly by, you.

517
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:05.319
<v Speaker 3>Know, have already made that commitment to God, have said, hey, Jesus,

518
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:09.000
<v Speaker 3>you're our salvation. We've made that commitment. We've done that,

519
00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:12.720
<v Speaker 3>that we have professed that he is Lord. After that,

520
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:18.079
<v Speaker 3>who's left? And that's what that's really what our job

521
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:19.799
<v Speaker 3>here on earth is is to try to get as

522
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:23.680
<v Speaker 3>many people as I should say this in a different way,

523
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:25.839
<v Speaker 3>to get as few people to have to stand in

524
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:29.559
<v Speaker 3>front of that white throne of judgment as possible. So

525
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:35.160
<v Speaker 3>I do the other part that I think a lot

526
00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:43.519
<v Speaker 3>of people. And this is where that Left Behind movie

527
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:51.960
<v Speaker 3>really kind of hits me, because you see the the

528
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:54.359
<v Speaker 3>when we look at it is Matthew twenty four especially.

529
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:57.160
<v Speaker 3>You see a lot in Matthew twenty four And a

530
00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:00.440
<v Speaker 3>part that it really talks to me is if we

531
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:06.240
<v Speaker 3>go through and we look at Matthew twenty four four,

532
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:08.960
<v Speaker 3>and it's talking about Jesus, answer them and says, see

533
00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:11.119
<v Speaker 3>that no one leads you astray, for many will come

534
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:13.319
<v Speaker 3>in my name saying I am the Christ, and they

535
00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:17.200
<v Speaker 3>will lead many astray. So this is Jesus talking that

536
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:21.680
<v Speaker 3>there are gonna be people coming. They're gonna say these things,

537
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:25.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, going forward, and you.

538
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:28.599
<v Speaker 4>Will hear of wars and rumors of wars.

539
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:31.000
<v Speaker 3>And this is this next part is I think the

540
00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:34.400
<v Speaker 3>really important part. And I've said this before. Why do

541
00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:37.160
<v Speaker 3>we have to whisper, because I think it's important.

542
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:38.799
<v Speaker 1>We're keeping this a sacred no.

543
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:40.400
<v Speaker 3>But it's gonna get louder in a minute.

544
00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:45.319
<v Speaker 4>It says you will hear of wars and rumors of wars.

545
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:50.119
<v Speaker 4>See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place.

546
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:54.880
<v Speaker 4>Think about that, everybody you know with this, with the

547
00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:57.160
<v Speaker 4>way the world's changing and the way the things are

548
00:30:57.160 --> 00:30:59.960
<v Speaker 4>going on around us, we always say, and this is

549
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:01.680
<v Speaker 4>not even to say that this is happening right now.

550
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:04.680
<v Speaker 4>We don't know the day or the hour, but everybody

551
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:08.079
<v Speaker 4>is so concerned with the way the world's changing, with

552
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:10.079
<v Speaker 4>the things that are going on around us, with the

553
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:14.200
<v Speaker 4>evil that we see all around us. And it says,

554
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:17.480
<v Speaker 4>do not be alarmed. Says see that you are not alarmed,

555
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:19.039
<v Speaker 4>for this must take place.

556
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:22.720
<v Speaker 3>But the end is not yet. For nation will rise

557
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:25.160
<v Speaker 3>against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be

558
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:28.759
<v Speaker 3>famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the

559
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:34.640
<v Speaker 3>beginning of the birth pains. I like that kind of analogy.

560
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:36.559
<v Speaker 3>They are talking about that as well. I think that's

561
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:40.000
<v Speaker 3>pretty interesting. It says, then they will deliver you up

562
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:44.920
<v Speaker 3>to tribulation and put you to the death, and you

563
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:47.599
<v Speaker 3>will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.

564
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:52.599
<v Speaker 3>So think about this we're talking about. Jesus is talking

565
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:55.559
<v Speaker 3>to the disciples at the time, and they they believe

566
00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:57.799
<v Speaker 3>when he says they're coming, he's coming soon, that it's

567
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:00.279
<v Speaker 3>happening right, you know, it's going to be next week,

568
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:03.480
<v Speaker 3>maybe soon, soon, soon as soon, you know. They it's

569
00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:05.599
<v Speaker 3>still one of those things where they don't a little

570
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:09.119
<v Speaker 3>bit of that spiritual blindness that we all have to

571
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:14.279
<v Speaker 3>some degree where we can't totally understand the prophecy of

572
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:18.480
<v Speaker 3>God and we're not really supposed to understand everything, because

573
00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:21.359
<v Speaker 3>even in Daniel it said, you know, lock these words

574
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:23.720
<v Speaker 3>up until the time is ready, you know, until the

575
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:26.960
<v Speaker 3>time is right. So and that's you know, a lot

576
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:28.519
<v Speaker 3>what we're talking about here, when we talk about the

577
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:30.960
<v Speaker 3>seventy weeks, all that stuff was meant to be locked

578
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:32.160
<v Speaker 3>away until a certain time.

579
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, the enemies reading these battle plans too exactly.

580
00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:38.279
<v Speaker 3>And let me tell you this, they're smarter than we are.

581
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:42.519
<v Speaker 3>They've been around for thousands of years, you know, the Satan,

582
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.559
<v Speaker 3>the the you know these other evil forces, everything that

583
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:49.599
<v Speaker 3>we talk about. They've been here longer than us. They're smarternus.

584
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:52.279
<v Speaker 3>We have no chance to gets them without God at all.

585
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:56.799
<v Speaker 3>But so and then he's saying that that they're going

586
00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:59.359
<v Speaker 3>to suffer, you know, that tribulation, to be put to

587
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:02.559
<v Speaker 3>the death. You'll be hated by all for my Name's sake.

588
00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:06.519
<v Speaker 3>But then many will fall away and betray one another

589
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:09.920
<v Speaker 3>and hate one another, for many false prophets will arise

590
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:14.519
<v Speaker 3>and lead many astray, and because lawlessness will be increased,

591
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:18.240
<v Speaker 3>for the love of many will grow cold. But the

592
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:19.920
<v Speaker 3>one who endures to the end.

593
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you hear what I say, those who endure to

594
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:24.200
<v Speaker 2>the what.

595
00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:30.799
<v Speaker 3>No, didn't say? I think it says the end will

596
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:34.759
<v Speaker 3>be saved, and the Gospel of the Kingdom will be

597
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:37.880
<v Speaker 3>proclaimed through the whole world as a testimony to all

598
00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:44.359
<v Speaker 3>the nations, and then the end will come that to

599
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:52.119
<v Speaker 3>me blows me away. Just so we go down a

600
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:56.400
<v Speaker 3>little further. If I go down to here thirty seven,

601
00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:59.480
<v Speaker 3>I jump too far. I have more. For as were

602
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:01.640
<v Speaker 3>the days of Noah, so will be the coming of

603
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:05.839
<v Speaker 3>the Son of Man. The coming not one of ten comings,

604
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:09.280
<v Speaker 3>not one of It's the coming. Right we talk about

605
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:11.639
<v Speaker 3>the number, the coming and the son of Man. For

606
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:16.159
<v Speaker 3>in those days before the flood, they were eating and drinking,

607
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:19.320
<v Speaker 3>marrying and giving in marriage until the day Noah entered

608
00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:21.800
<v Speaker 3>the ark, unaware that the flood came and swept them

609
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:24.039
<v Speaker 3>all the way. So will be in the coming of

610
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:26.960
<v Speaker 3>the Son of Man. Then two men will be in

611
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.599
<v Speaker 3>the field, one will be taken and one left. Two

612
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:32.800
<v Speaker 3>women will be grinding at the flow at the mill.

613
00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:36.559
<v Speaker 3>One will be taken and one left. Therefore, stay awake,

614
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:40.000
<v Speaker 3>for you do not know on what day your Lord

615
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:43.800
<v Speaker 3>is coming. But know this that if the master of

616
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:47.000
<v Speaker 3>the house had known what part of the night the

617
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:49.760
<v Speaker 3>thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not

618
00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:53.360
<v Speaker 3>have let his house be broken into. Therefore, you must

619
00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:55.800
<v Speaker 3>also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming

620
00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:59.559
<v Speaker 3>in an hour that you do not expect. Who then

621
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.000
<v Speaker 3>is faithful? And who then is the faithful and wise servant,

622
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:06.639
<v Speaker 3>who the master has set over his household to give

623
00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:10.400
<v Speaker 3>them their food at the proper time. Bless the servant,

624
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:13.400
<v Speaker 3>whom his master will find doing when he comes, truly,

625
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:16.039
<v Speaker 3>I say to you, he will set him over all

626
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:19.480
<v Speaker 3>his possessions. But the wicked servant will say to himself,

627
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:23.000
<v Speaker 3>my master is delayed, and begin to beat his fellow servants,

628
00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:27.480
<v Speaker 3>and eat and drinks I'm sorry, and eats and drinks

629
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.920
<v Speaker 3>the drunkards. The master of the servant will come out

630
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:33.280
<v Speaker 3>a day when he does not expect him, at an

631
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:35.199
<v Speaker 3>hour that he does not know, and he will cut

632
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:38.199
<v Speaker 3>him to pieces and put him with the hypocrites in

633
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:41.119
<v Speaker 3>a place where they'll be weeping and gnashing at teeth.

634
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:45.880
<v Speaker 3>I know it's a mouthful, but that Matthew twenty four

635
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:49.480
<v Speaker 3>is where a lot of this jargon comes from.

636
00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:51.119
<v Speaker 2>And who's the master of the house.

637
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:52.800
<v Speaker 3>That's a good question.

638
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:57.639
<v Speaker 2>See my interpretation. Do you like that my interpretation?

639
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:03.079
<v Speaker 1>I think if you talk about Satan, because it said,

640
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:06.280
<v Speaker 1>you know that Satan is the ruler of this world.

641
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:07.480
<v Speaker 2>That's what Jesus says.

642
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Right, He's the bad tenant, and it said that, you know,

643
00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:14.719
<v Speaker 1>if he would have known when it was, he wouldn't

644
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:18.360
<v Speaker 1>have allowed his house to be broken into, you know.

645
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:21.599
<v Speaker 1>And that's just something that kind of came to me

646
00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:23.119
<v Speaker 1>as you just reading that there.

647
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:27.000
<v Speaker 3>I think, I mean, I see that, I could see it.

648
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:29.360
<v Speaker 3>I could see it both ways depending on how you

649
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:30.760
<v Speaker 3>look at it. But that makes I mean, that makes

650
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:33.800
<v Speaker 3>one hundred percent. It makes sense. But I think it's

651
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:38.559
<v Speaker 3>so important to understand. What it's saying is that no

652
00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:41.480
<v Speaker 3>one knows a day or the hour that Jesus coming back.

653
00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:45.760
<v Speaker 3>No one does. And it says that we all must

654
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:50.000
<v Speaker 3>be ready. It doesn't say those who are left behind

655
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:55.320
<v Speaker 3>must be ready. It doesn't say that you know, once

656
00:36:55.360 --> 00:37:00.760
<v Speaker 3>again my interpretation, but it says that no one knows

657
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:03.599
<v Speaker 3>the day or the hour, so be ready because when

658
00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:08.480
<v Speaker 3>the Lord comes back, you know, we need to always

659
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:10.960
<v Speaker 3>we need to always believe that it could happen in

660
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:14.960
<v Speaker 3>the next ten minutes if you wait and you say, well,

661
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.960
<v Speaker 3>And that's I think why a lot of people really,

662
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:21.239
<v Speaker 3>really really try to take this literal and try to

663
00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:23.800
<v Speaker 3>break this down and try to say, Okay, it's seven years. Okay,

664
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:27.639
<v Speaker 3>we are at the seventieth week of Daniel. We are

665
00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:32.119
<v Speaker 3>at this juncture. So they want something concrete. They want

666
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:35.079
<v Speaker 3>something because then I can go do whatever I want until,

667
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:37.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, I can get ready, you know, ten minutes

668
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:38.360
<v Speaker 3>before and then I'll be good with God.

669
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:40.440
<v Speaker 1>How much time do I got to kil exactly?

670
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:43.159
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's the problem. I don't think that

671
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:46.800
<v Speaker 3>when this happens, that time that he comes.

672
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:49.599
<v Speaker 1>There ain't gonna be no time for you to be like, Okay,

673
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:51.199
<v Speaker 1>now I need to get my crap together.

674
00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:52.079
<v Speaker 3>Exactly.

675
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:53.599
<v Speaker 2>No, you witn't ready.

676
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Man, you missed the dinner, you missed the train.

677
00:37:58.119 --> 00:37:58.440
<v Speaker 3>D percent.

678
00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:00.719
<v Speaker 1>But going off what you used to talked about, you know,

679
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:03.559
<v Speaker 1>you know those who endure to the end, you know,

680
00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:05.559
<v Speaker 1>and this was going you know, to the you know,

681
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:08.719
<v Speaker 1>the mid tribulation, you know, versus that I have here,

682
00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:11.199
<v Speaker 1>the kind of you know that, in my opinion, you know,

683
00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:14.480
<v Speaker 1>busts that up. You know one Corinthians fifteen fifty one

684
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:18.960
<v Speaker 1>talks about the last trumpet we shall be changed into

685
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:22.719
<v Speaker 1>glorified bodies. You know, people that hold this mid tribulation view,

686
00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:26.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, they see that as the seventh trumpet. But

687
00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:29.599
<v Speaker 1>you know Revelation eleven, you know, this is right before

688
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:32.519
<v Speaker 1>the bowls of wrath are poured out. But this isn't

689
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the last trumpet nothing. You know that the scripture talks about.

690
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.679
<v Speaker 1>The final trumpet is when Christ returns, we get our

691
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:44.039
<v Speaker 1>glorified bodies and the lawless one is defeated. You know,

692
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:47.440
<v Speaker 1>for this belief to hold true the mid trib we

693
00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:51.079
<v Speaker 1>would have to have three comings, which is just not

694
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:52.159
<v Speaker 1>scripturally based.

695
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:57.840
<v Speaker 3>I agree, I agree.

696
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:02.400
<v Speaker 2>So you're ready to look get post tribulation.

697
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:10.159
<v Speaker 3>We already think we already started. Yeah, I think we've

698
00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:13.000
<v Speaker 3>we've played our hand a little bit. I think we uh,

699
00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:16.559
<v Speaker 3>I think we line up and to be honest, when

700
00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:19.840
<v Speaker 3>we do these things, we research on our own. We

701
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:23.719
<v Speaker 3>don't share notes ahead of time. We look into these

702
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:28.239
<v Speaker 3>things because we want to have a conversation. We want

703
00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:31.400
<v Speaker 3>to look at this from our point of view and

704
00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:38.840
<v Speaker 3>and really you know, delve into uh what we you know,

705
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:40.559
<v Speaker 3>our interpretations.

706
00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:42.000
<v Speaker 2>And just organic conversation.

707
00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:42.440
<v Speaker 4>It is.

708
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:45.199
<v Speaker 3>And the fact is when we line up, which actually

709
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:48.960
<v Speaker 3>isn't always because we usually have a similar idea, but

710
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:52.639
<v Speaker 3>we have different you know, spins on certain things, and

711
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:54.320
<v Speaker 3>that's okay, and it's always going to be that way.

712
00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:58.440
<v Speaker 3>Yet you're gonna have that with anybody and a lot

713
00:39:58.480 --> 00:39:59.880
<v Speaker 3>of these things. You got to think about this. The

714
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:03.480
<v Speaker 3>rapture is a non salvation issue. Yes, if you're right

715
00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:07.880
<v Speaker 3>with God, it doesn't matter when it happens. Going through

716
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:11.400
<v Speaker 3>seven years of tribulation would not be fun, yes, but

717
00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:14.840
<v Speaker 3>you know what you think about what the disciples went through,

718
00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:17.920
<v Speaker 3>then you know they were you know, all with the

719
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:22.079
<v Speaker 3>exception of John, we're all murdered in one way or

720
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:24.800
<v Speaker 3>another in the name of Jesus. And you know it

721
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:30.320
<v Speaker 3>plainly talks about that from that you know, that time period.

722
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:33.119
<v Speaker 3>But I do believe and we we always say, you know,

723
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:36.119
<v Speaker 3>read this from the eyes of the time, from the

724
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:38.840
<v Speaker 3>people at that time. You know, you have to understand

725
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:43.760
<v Speaker 3>this was written, you know, the first century, right, This

726
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:46.280
<v Speaker 3>stuff is all written, you know, around the time, probably

727
00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:50.280
<v Speaker 3>around somewhere between what thirty and seventy a d. Somewhere

728
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.519
<v Speaker 3>in that range. You know, after Jesus. We're talking about

729
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:54.199
<v Speaker 3>most of the Gospels right around that time would have

730
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:56.280
<v Speaker 3>been written. You have to look at it from their

731
00:40:56.320 --> 00:41:00.280
<v Speaker 3>point of view. But that is not to say that

732
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:02.519
<v Speaker 3>there isn't especially when you look at a lot of

733
00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:04.920
<v Speaker 3>these prophetic things that these are talking about us in

734
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:07.679
<v Speaker 3>the future as well, and it does put it in

735
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:10.400
<v Speaker 3>a small box to say, oh, it's gonna happen to us,

736
00:41:10.519 --> 00:41:14.039
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna happen right now. But that right there is

737
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:16.679
<v Speaker 3>the mentality you have to have because no one knows

738
00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:18.679
<v Speaker 3>the day or the hour. We have to treat it

739
00:41:18.840 --> 00:41:21.639
<v Speaker 3>like it's going to happen tomorrow. We have to treat

740
00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:25.719
<v Speaker 3>it because regardless of being raptured now, three and a

741
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:29.639
<v Speaker 3>half years from now, or you know, at the coming

742
00:41:29.679 --> 00:41:34.760
<v Speaker 3>of Jesus, I want to be there and I think

743
00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:38.320
<v Speaker 3>that's the most important thing. So once again, justin said it,

744
00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:43.039
<v Speaker 3>I've said it. These are our interpretations. This is not gospel,

745
00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:46.159
<v Speaker 3>this is not gold, this is just our interpretations. I

746
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:48.719
<v Speaker 3>want everybody to go and look into these things themselves,

747
00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:51.719
<v Speaker 3>you know, send us some questions back, send us your

748
00:41:51.800 --> 00:41:54.960
<v Speaker 3>ideas back, because I'd love to hear them. And maybe

749
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:57.039
<v Speaker 3>you sway my idea a little bit by me looking

750
00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:01.400
<v Speaker 3>into some different references that you give us too. But sorry,

751
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:02.920
<v Speaker 3>that's a little side And note. I just think it's

752
00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:08.079
<v Speaker 3>really important that we really look at this and really

753
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:12.480
<v Speaker 3>understand that these are you know, the way that this

754
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:15.079
<v Speaker 3>is interpreted by us.

755
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:17.960
<v Speaker 1>And see with me, you know, after doing my studying

756
00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:20.199
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. You know, I'm I kind of fall into

757
00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:22.079
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the post tribulation camp.

758
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:23.039
<v Speaker 2>You know.

759
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:26.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, people in this camp, you know, they believe that.

760
00:42:26.559 --> 00:42:28.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, you'll have to endure the wrath of God,

761
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:32.000
<v Speaker 1>but you'll be protected and marked with the seal of God,

762
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:34.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. And at the end, Christ will return the

763
00:42:34.920 --> 00:42:37.199
<v Speaker 1>dead and him shall rise first, you know, those alive,

764
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:39.800
<v Speaker 1>get their glorified bodies, meet Him in the air, come

765
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:43.440
<v Speaker 1>back down in a triumphant basically parade, and destroy the

766
00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:49.559
<v Speaker 1>lawless one. But I wrote down some examples that show

767
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:53.159
<v Speaker 1>that believers will have to go through tribulation, you know,

768
00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:56.679
<v Speaker 1>John sixteen thirty three. I have told you these things

769
00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:00.800
<v Speaker 1>so that in me you may have peace. In this

770
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:05.880
<v Speaker 1>world you will have trouble, But take heart, I have

771
00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:12.000
<v Speaker 1>overcome the world Revelation seven fourteen. These are the ones

772
00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:19.199
<v Speaker 1>who have come out of the Great Tribulation Revelation three ten.

773
00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Since you have kept my commandments and have endured patiently,

774
00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I will also keep you from the hour of trial

775
00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:31.599
<v Speaker 1>that is coming on to test the world. You know,

776
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:33.960
<v Speaker 1>we talked about that, the trial, the Great White Throne

777
00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:37.760
<v Speaker 1>judgment Revelation twenty two twelve. Look, I am coming soon,

778
00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:43.880
<v Speaker 1>and my reward is coming with me, and I will

779
00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:46.039
<v Speaker 1>give to each person according to what they have done,

780
00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:48.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, their works for those who rejected Jesus, as

781
00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:51.760
<v Speaker 1>they're covering in righteousness. This is the white throne judgment

782
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:56.119
<v Speaker 1>that is referenced in Revelation three. In my opinion, Matthew

783
00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:59.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty five thirty two, all the nations will be gathered

784
00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:04.119
<v Speaker 1>before for him, and he will separate the people one

785
00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:08.639
<v Speaker 1>from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

786
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:11.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, we all go at the same time, but

787
00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:14.400
<v Speaker 1>we're set apart for the trial because Jesus is our

788
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:18.119
<v Speaker 1>attorney and we're acquitted. And the last one I got

789
00:44:18.239 --> 00:44:21.519
<v Speaker 1>a Revelation nine four. This is the fifth trumpet.

790
00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:23.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, hurt not the earth.

791
00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Neither the sea, nor the trees till we have sealed

792
00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:31.639
<v Speaker 1>the servants of our God in their foreheads. You know,

793
00:44:31.639 --> 00:44:33.719
<v Speaker 1>if we're raptured out, why do we need a mark

794
00:44:33.760 --> 00:44:34.320
<v Speaker 1>of protection?

795
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:41.119
<v Speaker 3>All right? It makes sense. I have a little different

796
00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:44.719
<v Speaker 3>idea on the seal of God and who that you know,

797
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:47.320
<v Speaker 3>when it talks about the elect in a few different areas,

798
00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:51.400
<v Speaker 3>and this is a different whole rabbit trail that we

799
00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:54.480
<v Speaker 3>can go on another time. But I firmly believe that

800
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:57.400
<v Speaker 3>that's the Jewish people, that's the remnant of the Jewish people.

801
00:44:57.480 --> 00:45:00.760
<v Speaker 3>And even potentially and if we could get into that

802
00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:04.719
<v Speaker 3>other time, but in certain areas where God is still

803
00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:08.000
<v Speaker 3>maintaining his covenant with the Jewish nation that he made,

804
00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:11.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, back through Eve all the way through Abraham,

805
00:45:11.079 --> 00:45:13.719
<v Speaker 3>over and over again. And we talk about Jacob, and

806
00:45:13.800 --> 00:45:15.760
<v Speaker 3>even as I said before, you don't talk about Jacob's

807
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:19.679
<v Speaker 3>trouble and things of that nature. Where I believe that

808
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:25.719
<v Speaker 3>that's God's people. Actually I even had a point part

809
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:31.800
<v Speaker 3>of that here if we look at and that's in

810
00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:37.400
<v Speaker 3>Matthew twenty four as well, twenty nine through thirty. Once

811
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:39.719
<v Speaker 3>as immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun

812
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:41.400
<v Speaker 3>will be darken and the moon will not give up

813
00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:44.039
<v Speaker 3>its light. The stars will fall from heaven, and the

814
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:47.039
<v Speaker 3>powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear

815
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:49.159
<v Speaker 3>in heaven the sign of the Son of Man. And

816
00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:51.079
<v Speaker 3>all the tribes of the earth which you brought this up,

817
00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:52.760
<v Speaker 3>well mourn, and they will see the Son of the

818
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:55.599
<v Speaker 3>Man coming into clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

819
00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:58.320
<v Speaker 3>He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet

820
00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:02.440
<v Speaker 3>call and they will gather his elect from the four winds,

821
00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:07.880
<v Speaker 3>from one end of heaven to the other. So when

822
00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:09.920
<v Speaker 3>it says his elect I think it's pretty interesting because

823
00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:12.719
<v Speaker 3>we talked about the four winds, right. I think that's

824
00:46:12.760 --> 00:46:16.719
<v Speaker 3>part of when we go back into the once again,

825
00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:19.320
<v Speaker 3>I apologize way off topic, but when we go back

826
00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:25.840
<v Speaker 3>into the idea of the ten lost tribes that were

827
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:29.400
<v Speaker 3>scattered one hundred and forty four thousands, So those ten

828
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:33.400
<v Speaker 3>lost tribes that were scattered, and that's when Jesus used Pentecost,

829
00:46:33.519 --> 00:46:37.159
<v Speaker 3>when those lost tribes and Jews come to Jerusalem for

830
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:40.320
<v Speaker 3>that festival and he's spreading his word out to the nation.

831
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:43.320
<v Speaker 3>That's kind of the first part of this. But I

832
00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:46.400
<v Speaker 3>believe that those one hundred and forty four thousand, those

833
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:48.679
<v Speaker 3>are his elect the ones that were scattered from the

834
00:46:48.800 --> 00:46:51.639
<v Speaker 3>by the four winds he's bringing back together. Is his

835
00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:53.119
<v Speaker 3>elect that are going to be the one hundred and

836
00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:54.800
<v Speaker 3>forty four thousand that are marked with the Seal of

837
00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:57.159
<v Speaker 3>God that are going to be his witnesses at the end.

838
00:46:57.480 --> 00:47:00.079
<v Speaker 3>And that's that's him following through on his covenant that

839
00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:04.840
<v Speaker 3>he has with with you know, all the way through Abraham,

840
00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:06.679
<v Speaker 3>all the way down the line, you know, through Jacob,

841
00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:08.800
<v Speaker 3>and he talks about that cop I mean, if you

842
00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:12.079
<v Speaker 3>go back through ReGenesis, read Exodus, going keep going down

843
00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:14.800
<v Speaker 3>that line and see how many times God ess re

844
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:21.480
<v Speaker 3>establishes his covenant with the Israelites. It's it's every five minutes.

845
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:22.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, likes the Book of Enoch.

846
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:24.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, it says, you know, blissed be the righteous

847
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and then the elect. You know, there's a there's a

848
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:30.360
<v Speaker 1>separation there, and I like how even I think it was.

849
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

850
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Peterson was talking on his show one time, and

851
00:47:33.360 --> 00:47:35.840
<v Speaker 1>he was talking about how he talks about, you know,

852
00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:38.679
<v Speaker 1>the temple coming back and the sacrifice is coming back

853
00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and all that kind of stuff. He said, you know,

854
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:45.079
<v Speaker 1>it was his interpretation that, you know, the Jewish people

855
00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:48.599
<v Speaker 1>that rejected the Messiah, that still practiced the laws and

856
00:47:48.679 --> 00:47:52.039
<v Speaker 1>all that kind of stuff, that's for them because they

857
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:55.159
<v Speaker 1>didn't accept the free gift of free gift of salvation.

858
00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:58.719
<v Speaker 1>So therefore they have to sacrifice and do all these things.

859
00:47:58.719 --> 00:48:01.320
<v Speaker 1>So that's you know, the he said, that's why he

860
00:48:01.519 --> 00:48:04.840
<v Speaker 1>thanks one hundred and forty four thousand are left basically

861
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:09.519
<v Speaker 1>behind because they're the ones that has to lead the

862
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:13.519
<v Speaker 1>people that rejected Jesus back to the law.

863
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Kind of.

864
00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:19.400
<v Speaker 3>I agree, but I also say that I think that

865
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:23.039
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and forty four thousand, once again, looking in revelation,

866
00:48:23.159 --> 00:48:26.119
<v Speaker 3>looking at things when we talk about even Daniel, that

867
00:48:26.199 --> 00:48:29.639
<v Speaker 3>these numbers are symbolic. I don't think the one hundred

868
00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:33.960
<v Speaker 3>and forty four thousand is literally one hundred and forty

869
00:48:33.960 --> 00:48:35.960
<v Speaker 3>four thousand people, you know, because it says it's twelve

870
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:38.800
<v Speaker 3>thousand from each of the tribes, right, each of the

871
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:42.039
<v Speaker 3>tribes of Israel. So once again pointing to the Jews

872
00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:46.360
<v Speaker 3>or the Israelites, I guess, and that point but the

873
00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:51.320
<v Speaker 3>people that he had the covenant with. So if we

874
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:53.480
<v Speaker 3>look at this one hundred and forty four thousand saying

875
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:57.519
<v Speaker 3>twelve thousand from each tribe, firmly believe that that is

876
00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:00.920
<v Speaker 3>talking about the Jewish people and that they are that's

877
00:49:01.079 --> 00:49:05.400
<v Speaker 3>him following through saying that that He has not forgotten

878
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:08.239
<v Speaker 3>his people. Paul goes through that very plainly. I think

879
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:10.320
<v Speaker 3>it's it's either an axe or romans. I'd have to

880
00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:13.159
<v Speaker 3>pull that up. But he goes through that very plainly,

881
00:49:13.239 --> 00:49:16.440
<v Speaker 3>saying that that God has not forgot his people and

882
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:18.119
<v Speaker 3>how great will it be when they come back and

883
00:49:18.199 --> 00:49:21.719
<v Speaker 3>all there's just so much you know, God has not

884
00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:24.679
<v Speaker 3>forgot his covenant with them. There's so much there pointing

885
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:29.320
<v Speaker 3>to the Jewish people, the Israelites being there at the

886
00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:33.400
<v Speaker 3>end and potentially being that. And once again, let'll say

887
00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:35.599
<v Speaker 3>it again, this is going to be our new lowercase G.

888
00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:40.719
<v Speaker 3>God's thing. My interpretation is going to be that that

889
00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:44.559
<v Speaker 3>is the Jewish people and God keeping his covenant with them.

890
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, backing up to the you know, the whole rapture deal.

891
00:49:47.760 --> 00:49:50.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, you mentioned Matthew twenty four of the stars

892
00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:53.159
<v Speaker 1>and the heavens, you know, and the judgment there. Uh

893
00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:55.920
<v Speaker 1>when you back up just before that with a lot

894
00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:58.719
<v Speaker 1>of people miss you know, is that Jesus himself said,

895
00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:04.920
<v Speaker 1>immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun

896
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:07.039
<v Speaker 1>be dark in the moon not give off her light?

897
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:09.960
<v Speaker 1>And all these things, you know, and Revelation mentions the

898
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:13.079
<v Speaker 1>opening of seven seals, you know, each one's a judgment,

899
00:50:13.159 --> 00:50:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the judgment of the sun, the moon. You know, this

900
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:20.079
<v Speaker 1>all happens at the opening of the sixth seal, So

901
00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:22.679
<v Speaker 1>we're still not at the end, you know, he says,

902
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:25.400
<v Speaker 1>and behold when he had opened the sixth seal, and

903
00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:27.480
<v Speaker 1>low there was a great earthquake, and the sun became

904
00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:30.119
<v Speaker 1>like a sackcloth of hair, and the moon became his blood,

905
00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:31.239
<v Speaker 1>and the stars of heaven.

906
00:50:31.039 --> 00:50:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Fell into the earth.

907
00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:32.079
<v Speaker 3>You know.

908
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:36.199
<v Speaker 1>That's the Revelation chapter six, verse twelve and thirteen. Those

909
00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:42.840
<v Speaker 1>alive in Christ will rise to meet him in the air,

910
00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:45.760
<v Speaker 1>and the dead in him shall rise first at the

911
00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:49.719
<v Speaker 1>last trumpet the seventh seal. Remember Jesus said in Matthew

912
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:53.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourteen nine after the tribulation, the rapture, you know,

913
00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:58.159
<v Speaker 1>is post tribulation and pre wrath, and the nations are angry,

914
00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:00.199
<v Speaker 1>and thy wrath has come.

915
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:01.039
<v Speaker 2>You know.

916
00:51:01.079 --> 00:51:04.960
<v Speaker 1>It's Revelation eleven and eighteen. But what's cool is I'll

917
00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:07.239
<v Speaker 1>usually always find the little Greek things, you know, the

918
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:09.000
<v Speaker 1>word you know, meet and you know, if you notice

919
00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I'd done a you know, little air quote there at

920
00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the meat. This is only referenced twice in the New

921
00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:24.119
<v Speaker 1>Testament Second Thessalonians, Chapter one and chapter two. The context

922
00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:26.719
<v Speaker 1>of the two chapters make two coming is very difficult.

923
00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:31.519
<v Speaker 1>He describes the coming. He's giving relief to the believers,

924
00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:34.159
<v Speaker 1>but at the same time affliction to the non believers.

925
00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:36.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, Paul says these two things happen when the

926
00:51:36.199 --> 00:51:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Lord is revealed from heaven UH Chapter two and verse one,

927
00:51:40.360 --> 00:51:43.159
<v Speaker 1>concerning the coming of the Lord and us being gathered

928
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:46.800
<v Speaker 1>together to meet him. You know, we ask you brothers

929
00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:49.280
<v Speaker 1>not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed at

930
00:51:49.320 --> 00:51:51.519
<v Speaker 1>the spirit or spoken word or letters seeming to be

931
00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:54.719
<v Speaker 1>from us to the effect that the Lord has come already.

932
00:51:55.079 --> 00:51:57.440
<v Speaker 1>So someone had already told that the day of the

933
00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Lord had already come, obviously, So how easy would it

934
00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:02.599
<v Speaker 1>have been for Paul to refute that by simply saying

935
00:52:03.559 --> 00:52:07.800
<v Speaker 1>that can't be I'm still here if the rapture had

936
00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:11.280
<v Speaker 1>taken place. He says that day cannot come unless the

937
00:52:11.320 --> 00:52:14.840
<v Speaker 1>rebellion comes first. You know where Christ comes to kill

938
00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:17.719
<v Speaker 1>the lawless one. You know this points to one coming

939
00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:22.360
<v Speaker 1>not to but fet Thessalonians four sixteen. The word meet

940
00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:25.679
<v Speaker 1>is used two other times in the New Testament Matthew

941
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:30.079
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, verse six, Acts twenty eight fifteen. You know,

942
00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:32.960
<v Speaker 1>both of these places it is a group of people

943
00:52:33.119 --> 00:52:36.119
<v Speaker 1>going out to meet someone in accompanying them back to

944
00:52:36.199 --> 00:52:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the place that they just came out from. So here,

945
00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:43.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, we are the welcome party and leading a

946
00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:47.440
<v Speaker 1>parade of his return. It's, you know, the triumphal entry

947
00:52:47.960 --> 00:52:50.119
<v Speaker 1>that the people got wrong when Jesus in his first

948
00:52:50.199 --> 00:52:54.880
<v Speaker 1>coming to Jerusalem. Only this time we truly understand who

949
00:52:54.880 --> 00:52:58.920
<v Speaker 1>he is. I thought that was interesting, you know, that

950
00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:03.239
<v Speaker 1>only other time that that word meet is used, it's

951
00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:07.360
<v Speaker 1>to describe basically a party of people going out to

952
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:12.000
<v Speaker 1>meet someone and then coming right back to where they

953
00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:17.800
<v Speaker 1>started from, kind of like a like a parade. So basically,

954
00:53:17.880 --> 00:53:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, with that interpretation, you know, you know, the

955
00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:24.719
<v Speaker 1>son of Man comes back in the clouds, we go

956
00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:28.559
<v Speaker 1>up to meet him and get our glorified bodies just

957
00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:32.360
<v Speaker 1>to either lead him back down or follow him back

958
00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:35.639
<v Speaker 1>down to to vanquish the lawless.

959
00:53:35.559 --> 00:53:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Of his army. Yeah, to me, that makes that makes

960
00:53:40.480 --> 00:53:46.079
<v Speaker 3>the most sense. Still, I think, you know, going through

961
00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:50.719
<v Speaker 3>this and after kind of really reading it, and I've

962
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:54.480
<v Speaker 3>actually read people with a lot of different views on this,

963
00:53:55.360 --> 00:53:59.400
<v Speaker 3>especially being raised in a in a pre trib type environment,

964
00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:04.599
<v Speaker 3>it seems to me that that a lot of the

965
00:54:04.599 --> 00:54:08.440
<v Speaker 3>interpretation is more for comfort. And I hate to say

966
00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:10.800
<v Speaker 3>it that way, it sounds bad, Yeah, but I feel

967
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:12.800
<v Speaker 3>that a lot of people are just you know, we

968
00:54:12.840 --> 00:54:18.440
<v Speaker 3>talk about that tribulation and and it's it's terrifying, you know,

969
00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:21.039
<v Speaker 3>talking about the beasts that will come up that will

970
00:54:21.119 --> 00:54:22.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, have a face of a lion, you know,

971
00:54:22.840 --> 00:54:25.199
<v Speaker 3>hair was a hair like a woman and sting like

972
00:54:25.280 --> 00:54:29.079
<v Speaker 3>a scorpion, and men long to die, but death will

973
00:54:29.119 --> 00:54:31.719
<v Speaker 3>not find them like things like this that mean, it's terrifying.

974
00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I like Revelation thirteen. You know, it says,

975
00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:37.039
<v Speaker 1>what is it those that are taken captive, and the

976
00:54:37.079 --> 00:54:39.480
<v Speaker 1>captivity they will go. The ones that are hit with

977
00:54:39.519 --> 00:54:41.519
<v Speaker 1>the sword, the slain with the sword, they will go.

978
00:54:41.599 --> 00:54:44.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's basically saying that, yeah, you're going to

979
00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:46.599
<v Speaker 1>have to suffer through man.

980
00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:48.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And you know what, this is a part where

981
00:54:48.920 --> 00:54:54.039
<v Speaker 3>I think that a lot of people in our country

982
00:54:55.239 --> 00:54:57.880
<v Speaker 3>and I'm just as bad as anybody else. I'm not

983
00:54:57.920 --> 00:55:00.840
<v Speaker 3>pointing fingers at anybody, but what I'm saying in our country,

984
00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:06.559
<v Speaker 3>we've had it so good. And even right now people

985
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:09.159
<v Speaker 3>can say our country is this this or this? We

986
00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:12.400
<v Speaker 3>have it so good. If we were living in the

987
00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:17.360
<v Speaker 3>Middle East, or if we were living if we were

988
00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:21.559
<v Speaker 3>living in Palestine, or we were living in a lot

989
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:23.639
<v Speaker 3>of different places around the world, if we were living

990
00:55:23.639 --> 00:55:27.599
<v Speaker 3>in the Ukraine or the Russian border right now. Think

991
00:55:27.639 --> 00:55:30.199
<v Speaker 3>about what those people go through. Think about the Jewish

992
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:34.480
<v Speaker 3>people through the Holocausts, that they didn't think that was

993
00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:38.440
<v Speaker 3>the end of days. So when people are worried about

994
00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:40.760
<v Speaker 3>what's happening right now in our country, people are going

995
00:55:40.840 --> 00:55:47.000
<v Speaker 3>and suffering so much more than ninety five to ninety

996
00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:49.960
<v Speaker 3>nine percent of people in our country ever have. And

997
00:55:50.320 --> 00:55:53.599
<v Speaker 3>there is the torment, the civil war that happens around

998
00:55:53.639 --> 00:55:55.599
<v Speaker 3>our country, and we only see parts of it. We

999
00:55:55.639 --> 00:55:58.480
<v Speaker 3>see what our news allows us to see. But there's

1000
00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:01.480
<v Speaker 3>so many things going on around our country that I'm sorry,

1001
00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:05.639
<v Speaker 3>around our world that we'll never know about because it's

1002
00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:09.079
<v Speaker 3>it's out of sight, out of mind. We don't realize

1003
00:56:09.079 --> 00:56:12.079
<v Speaker 3>the struggles that everybody's having around the world that is

1004
00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:17.440
<v Speaker 3>so much greater than anything we've suffered through. And those

1005
00:56:17.519 --> 00:56:23.280
<v Speaker 3>people might think that this is, you know, the trumpets

1006
00:56:23.280 --> 00:56:25.760
<v Speaker 3>already sounded, or you know, the first the first seal

1007
00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:28.800
<v Speaker 3>is broken, or whatever it may be. These things have happened,

1008
00:56:29.639 --> 00:56:34.880
<v Speaker 3>that this is already in progress, and for all I know,

1009
00:56:34.920 --> 00:56:38.920
<v Speaker 3>it could be. But at the same time, we I

1010
00:56:38.920 --> 00:56:41.360
<v Speaker 3>think as a country, take for granted how great we

1011
00:56:41.519 --> 00:56:43.239
<v Speaker 3>have it. You can sit there and say, well, I

1012
00:56:43.239 --> 00:56:46.400
<v Speaker 3>don't have this, or I don't have this. The poor

1013
00:56:46.440 --> 00:56:48.800
<v Speaker 3>of us, the poorest of us have more than a

1014
00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:50.519
<v Speaker 3>lot of people that I've seen when I was in

1015
00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:53.920
<v Speaker 3>China and other people that have been other parts of

1016
00:56:53.920 --> 00:56:57.840
<v Speaker 3>the world. We are so well off, so we don't

1017
00:56:58.039 --> 00:57:02.199
<v Speaker 3>know what tribulation is yet. And we've seen bad things.

1018
00:57:02.199 --> 00:57:03.840
<v Speaker 3>Don't get me wrong, every one of us has had

1019
00:57:03.880 --> 00:57:05.639
<v Speaker 3>tough things in our life for bad things. We've been

1020
00:57:05.719 --> 00:57:10.039
<v Speaker 3>under spiritual attack or physical attack. But we have no

1021
00:57:10.159 --> 00:57:12.719
<v Speaker 3>idea what true tribulation is. So I feel a lot

1022
00:57:12.719 --> 00:57:18.199
<v Speaker 3>of times that that that pre tribute idea is to

1023
00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:21.480
<v Speaker 3>is is it's a it's.

1024
00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:23.679
<v Speaker 2>A security blanket, exactly what I.

1025
00:57:23.639 --> 00:57:26.039
<v Speaker 3>Was gonna say. It's just that to keep your warm sea.

1026
00:57:26.400 --> 00:57:28.079
<v Speaker 3>Don't worry, I won't have to suffer like that.

1027
00:57:28.360 --> 00:57:30.760
<v Speaker 1>And it ignores and what gets me is it totally

1028
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:35.400
<v Speaker 1>ignores God's judgment patterns in the past. You know, I

1029
00:57:35.480 --> 00:57:38.159
<v Speaker 1>always tell you study history if you want to you know,

1030
00:57:38.159 --> 00:57:40.880
<v Speaker 1>know what the future holds, because history repeats its nothing's

1031
00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:44.079
<v Speaker 1>doing under the sun exactly, And you know, Matthew twenty

1032
00:57:44.119 --> 00:57:45.559
<v Speaker 1>four says, you know, as it was in the days

1033
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:48.320
<v Speaker 1>of Noah, they were eating, they were drinking, you know, marrying,

1034
00:57:48.360 --> 00:57:53.039
<v Speaker 1>given into marriage. So I mean they were totally unexpected.

1035
00:57:53.239 --> 00:57:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean things were good, obviously, you.

1036
00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Know what I mean.

1037
00:57:55.880 --> 00:57:58.280
<v Speaker 3>And their idea of good well, yeah.

1038
00:57:58.119 --> 00:57:59.760
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. It was totally unexpected.

1039
00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1040
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:03.000
<v Speaker 1>But when you look back at all the judgments, Okay,

1041
00:58:03.079 --> 00:58:06.639
<v Speaker 1>let's look back at Noah had no idea it was coming,

1042
00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:14.400
<v Speaker 1>and the wicked were swept away. Who remained the righteous,

1043
00:58:15.199 --> 00:58:21.039
<v Speaker 1>the chosen, Noah and the eight. So then you go

1044
00:58:21.159 --> 00:58:27.960
<v Speaker 1>forward Solomon, Gomorrah. The wicked were swept away, the righteous,

1045
00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:33.639
<v Speaker 1>the chosen were set aside. Right, So then you come

1046
00:58:33.679 --> 00:58:40.199
<v Speaker 1>on down to the plagues of Egypt. Did God pull

1047
00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:42.960
<v Speaker 1>out his people? Why all this stuff was going on?

1048
00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Or was they right there in the middle of it

1049
00:58:44.400 --> 00:58:45.079
<v Speaker 1>but protected?

1050
00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:47.679
<v Speaker 3>They suffered through the first few.

1051
00:58:47.679 --> 00:58:51.239
<v Speaker 1>But I'm saying that, yeah, they weren't raptured out of there,

1052
00:58:52.199 --> 00:58:54.920
<v Speaker 1>So why would this one be any different?

1053
00:58:55.639 --> 00:58:58.719
<v Speaker 3>That makes sense, It makes sense.

1054
00:58:58.599 --> 00:59:00.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, in the way I see this, you know,

1055
00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:03.000
<v Speaker 1>is when you talk about the left behind, you know,

1056
00:59:03.159 --> 00:59:07.440
<v Speaker 1>don't be left behind. Don't be left behind. To me,

1057
00:59:08.280 --> 00:59:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the way I read it, I want to be the

1058
00:59:11.519 --> 00:59:13.519
<v Speaker 1>one left behind because you know where it talks about

1059
00:59:13.519 --> 00:59:15.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, one one will be in the field and

1060
00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:18.880
<v Speaker 1>one taken away. One woman will be you know, churning grain,

1061
00:59:19.000 --> 00:59:21.880
<v Speaker 1>and one taken away. You know it uses that thing,

1062
00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:24.239
<v Speaker 1>that same terminology. It's like it did in the flood,

1063
00:59:24.239 --> 00:59:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know one is taken swept away. You want

1064
00:59:27.480 --> 00:59:30.440
<v Speaker 1>to be the one left behind. Because the way I

1065
00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:38.400
<v Speaker 1>read it, Christ comes down to earth and Heaven comes

1066
00:59:38.440 --> 00:59:43.280
<v Speaker 1>down to earth. I want I want to be here.

1067
00:59:44.360 --> 00:59:46.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be taken out.

1068
00:59:46.960 --> 00:59:50.119
<v Speaker 3>At the very worst. I want to be resurrected at

1069
00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:54.039
<v Speaker 3>that time and be gathered up to them. So ultimately,

1070
00:59:54.119 --> 00:59:56.880
<v Speaker 3>you just need to know where your heart is, where's

1071
00:59:56.920 --> 01:00:01.440
<v Speaker 3>your faith at, and know that it could happen. It

1072
01:00:01.639 --> 01:00:05.719
<v Speaker 3>happened tonight, could happen tomorrow, could happen in one hundred years.

1073
01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:08.320
<v Speaker 3>We don't know. And I know that's very cliche, but

1074
01:00:08.440 --> 01:00:13.239
<v Speaker 3>in this case, you really can't focus and say that

1075
01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:17.400
<v Speaker 3>I have a deadline, I have this, I have that.

1076
01:00:17.400 --> 01:00:22.239
<v Speaker 3>That's not God's intent. God's intent is that you don't know. Therefore,

1077
01:00:22.440 --> 01:00:25.360
<v Speaker 3>live a godly life all the time. Don't pick and

1078
01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:27.800
<v Speaker 3>choose like, oh, it should be coming soon, so now

1079
01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:32.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to be good. No, always always be ready.

1080
01:00:33.880 --> 01:00:34.599
<v Speaker 2>That'll be all.

1081
01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, have you heard the man?

1082
01:00:43.719 --> 01:00:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Have you all?

1083
01:00:44.760 --> 01:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>And one thing that I identify with me with that story,

1084
01:00:47.199 --> 01:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and I'll say this, I'll end with this. That struck

1085
01:00:50.360 --> 01:00:53.599
<v Speaker 1>me like a whole new way. A few years ago

1086
01:00:53.599 --> 01:00:56.239
<v Speaker 1>when I heard Doug talk about that you know you

1087
01:00:56.280 --> 01:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>have your already be ready, Well then I thought about

1088
01:00:59.440 --> 01:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the people that didn't have their already. It wrote my hoar,

1089
01:01:05.840 --> 01:01:10.119
<v Speaker 1>I want to have my already, but I want to

1090
01:01:10.119 --> 01:01:13.159
<v Speaker 1>have some Make sure you give somebody else. You guys

1091
01:01:13.239 --> 01:01:16.519
<v Speaker 1>keep digging and you come up with your own interpretation.

1092
