I am neither pre-trib or post-trib anymore. I am pro ENTERING through the narrow gait leading to life; pro OVERCOMING the flesh, the world, and the devil; pro ENDURING till the end.

[JTDyer]

Noah, Moses, and Lot were spared from wrath because they were righteous. So it stands to reason the righteous will be spared through the rapture before the tribulation period begins. If your a saved child of the Lord do you really think the Lord would destroy a building with his children still inside that building or do you think he would get those children out before he destroys the building? So as our heavenly father we can trust that he will get us out of here before he destroys the earth. Thank you Jesus!!

Amen! Such a blessing to hear such accurate teaching of Scripture. I will see you in the clouds soon, my brother. Jesus is ready to call us home.

I listened to les feldick earlier....and now Mr John..I get it...I see it clearly now!!! God Bless You!!!

Jesus did say the road is narrow and few find it. The rapture is a secret it’s a mystery and the seed for belief in it is planted in the hearts of believers by scripture and the Holy Spirit. It’s our great escape....Oh death where is thy sting. Thank God for preachers such as you who know how to rightly divide the truth.

What sense would it make for God to send His only begotten Son to die on the cross for our sins and to experience God's wrath on our behalf, and then turn around a force his Church to experience the Wrath of God, the wrath that Jesus SAVED US FROM?!

[francoisea.]

It's not always easy to understand, but one thing is for sure, we will be out of here before God's wrath is coming. Second, nobody knows how long each one of us is going to live. So you have to expect Jesus every day. There is something else to consider. The antichrist will not show up as long the Holy Spirit is here and God promised us that the Holy Spirit won't leave us. So, if the Holy Spirit is not here during revelation, and God never breaks a promise, how can we be here then?

Amazing break down of the Rapture before the tribulation. Jesus bless you

[peterabadasah]

Thanks you Teacher. May I add an eighth reason for the pretrib Rapture. It is that "The Antichrist cannot coexist on earth alongside the Church, or else he will not be able to exercise any power as permitted by divinity. Apostle Paul refers to the Church as the " Restrainer" who must be taken 'out of the way'. 2Thess 2 : 6 - 8.

[AsTheWickedScatter]

If you believe in a pre trib rapture then you believe in what Jesus said and you are watching for Jesus to come back your not waiting in the ant-Christ cause we won’t be here when he’s introduced. If you believe that we won’t be taken before the time of tribulation than you believe you’ll be here when the anti-Christ appears in which case you are waiting on the anti-christ not Jesus.

Really glad I stumbled on this site tonight.This is the very best set of arguments for the rapture of the church between the 69th and 70th week and as a separate issue from the the 2nd coming of Christ.the arguments form scripture were for me sound solid and very comforting.this was for me the 1st Time as a Holy Spirit baptized Christian that I did not have any disagreement in my spirit with what He said and taught.I have read  several books on this and watched lots of different videos.I don't know this church but the teaching hits all the right bells from the Word of God for me.

[paulgross]

Yes you are correct unbelievable there are people out there who can understand this verse I am so glad to hear that it lifts my spirit thank you so much for clearing this up

[abbafatherswarriorprincess]

Thank you so much! Also, if you look at the parallel between Jesus and the bride, and the Jewish wedding.... the groom comes to "steal" the bride in the middle of the night and after 7 nights (7 years of tribulation), the groom reveals the bride to everyone else. God is simply amazing!!!! I learn something awesome about Him every day!!!!

[HMC]

Absolutely, amazingly, perfectly, wonderfully and flawlessly explained, so thank you so much pastor!

[TheBelegur]

Thank you John for posting a scriptural based, well reasoned, logical and loving approach as to why we believe in the pre tribulation rapture. I have watch other videos of yours and subscribed to your channel. I found them all to be equally well reasoned, and scriptural based. Great encouragement and instruction in a time when the enemy of our souls is busy spreading false doctrine, and hopelessness.

[JennyBre-cbtf]

Pre trib rapture for me - many teachings say otherwise but I believe God for miracles - Enoch and Elisha had theirs so why not the Church? As a man beliveth in his heart let it be into him...

[jameszimmerman]

This was great. Thankyou, and may GOD bless you. I've watched a couple of your videos today, and His Anointing has settled upon me both times.
HALLELUJAH!
The LORD is good. Soon will be going Home.
HALLELUJAH! Amen.

[daffydill]

Before the appearing and gathering, the rebellion and revealing must occur first.

[bobross]

Great ability to share the word and clarify the words of ALL that the lord spoke through, just new to this channel and spending good time here!  Thank you, John!  Thank you Jesus!

why is it that ppl think that the great tribulation is the wrath of God. Rev 12 clearly says it's the wrath of Satan. Even vs 12 says "the devil has come down with great wrath" because he knows his time is short. Satan's wrath is against the righteous ones. Christ wrath is against the wicked ones. Remember when they begged the mountains to fall on them because they knew his wrath was coming. They said who can withstand his wrath? Which means nobody will. So to believe ppl will survive from God's wrath (the tribulation) doesn't make sense to me, but ppl will survive the tribulation. Satan and the antichrist won't help God pour out his wrath because they will be getting it the wrost, but they will be running the tibulation basically. That's like the lie ppl think that Satan is ruler of Hell and will be there having fun torturing ppl there. That's crazy. No he will be there getting his reward as all will. It's so many other things that he said that confuses me. I can't even cover them all. I'd like to ask him so many questions 1 on 1.
