A Catholic view of the End Times

Have you ever noticed the Catholic church never seems to talk about the end times, but Protestant churches are always talking about it?

Why is That?

Well,  actually during Advent, the season it is at the time of making this video, we are supposed to talk about it.

But I think the reason the Catholic church doesn't dwell on it like a lot of Protestant churches do is, for one, everyone has their own end time to worry about. We're all going to die some day and the Catholic church's main job is to administer the sacraments so that we can go to heaven.

I was a fundamentalist Baptist for years. I then read the Bible...5 times. I discovered that the rapture is not biblical. When I pointed this out, Protestants accused me of believing Catholic doctrine. I then started looking into Church and found that Catholic doctrine is indeed biblical, contrary to what I was taught and believed. Needless to say, I am now Catholic.

I have been Protestant all of my life. For no reason at all, my life turned upside down at once in several ways. Without reading or knowing why, I began to feel a strong desire to be catholic. My dreams from months ago now make sense, and just in attempting to pray correctly as I began to read about the things I was feeling, my life is changing. My family are all Protestants and my state is all Protestant. I will be torched by them for thinking this way, and I don’t know at all how to go about this from here. Just out of nowhere I feel I’m called to “go home” in a sense and I feel it’s the Catholic Church. Very happy and confusing times I’m in.

Thanks for helping me understand this better! I’m a Roman Catholic but most of my christian friends are Non Denominational (and therefor, Protestant) so I wasn’t getting to hear the full truth of the Catholic faith on this matter until now. Thank you so much!

Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then most gracious advocate thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Oh clement, oh loving, oh sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us oh Holy Mother of God, that we be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

I was raised nominally Protestant, but was never a student of Protestant eschatology. I left Protestantism many years ago, today embracing the Orthodoxy.

There is unfortunately no coherent eschatology in the Orthodox Church, so I have spent a lot of time researching Catholic teaching in this area.

In 2010, I experienced a vision of Christ in my home that included many miracles both in private and in public places. I wrote a book about some of these things that I published in 2016.

When Christ appeared to me, he spoke to me audibly and called me to write down everything I heard him say, which I share with many others by various means including social media platforms like this one.

I hear a lot of things in your discussion that concern me due to the teaching I was given when the Lord Jesus appeared to me.

I certainly don't claim to understand everything in the book of Revelation, but there are some key teachings that Christian believers are embracing that they will never see materialize.

I'm not posting this comment to go over every detail or to address every one of your points in the video. I'll just give you one particular example as a small sample of how we differ.

You said that the destruction of the temple in 70 AD was the judgement of God upon the Jews, and that is totally correct.

You then say that the prophecy of Jesus about a false Messiah to be embraced by the Jews has not yet occurred, and will be fulfilled by the future beast in Revelation.

In fact, the very prophecy in Matthew 24 about the destruction of the temple and the removal of every foundation stone beneath it was fulfilled both in 70 AD and in 135 AD.

Yes, the temple was completely desecrated in 70 AD by Rome, however the removal of the foundation stones did not occur until the end of the Simon Bar-Kopka revolt between 132 and 135 AD.

Who was Simon Bar-Kopka? He was the self-proclaimed Jewish Messiah the Jews embraced when they went to battle against Rome in 132 AD!

It was this event that led Rome to completely surround Jerusalem, massacre every Jewish fighter, and trigger the great Jewish diaspora.

Just three years later, Rome pulled every stone in the city out of the ground, exactly as Jesus had said.

In Daniel we read that a future world tyrant will deny the god of his own ancestry, regarding only the god of military might.

No future Jewish Messiah could possibly deny the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, nor could an Islamic Mahdi deny Allah.

The future beast, Antichrist, or whatever you want to call him, will not be messianic, but rather a secularist.

Trace this comment if you want to know more. God bless!

The failed prophecies of the American Evangelical church will bring their end. If they are wrong on that, what else were they wrong about?

[alswann]

Best video ive watched on the subject. Concise and to the point.

[TheSageSpartan]

Yes I’ve wondered this since I’ve converted to Catholicism, I’m personally fascinated with revelation and the end times

A great number of Priests and Bishops are more interested in the current secular 'Church of Nice' where we don't talk about anything that's negative or accepting. That's why most Catholics don't hear about the end of times.

As an ex-Baptist, slowly becoming Catholic, it was the Rapture that was the biggest red flag for me. None of it made any sense, and none of the verses they point to seem to actually be saying what they believe they are saying. It almost seems like a spiritual blindness.

[Yousef_altajiN]

Absolutely great content and video! Keep going! How can I contact you?

[rjfriske]

Interesting video, I’m Protestant and I’m also dismayed at the damage many pastors bring to the church by following Pretrib rapture eschatology. Fortunately, not all Protestant churches make this belief dogmatic and allow differences in beliefs. I myself am an amillennial which is true of many in the reformed Baptist tradition

Holy trinity forgive 🙏 my sins ✝️❤️‍🔥🕊

This video is an excellent exploration on the end times, antichrist and return of Jesus Christ. I commend and thank you for your comprehensive video. Even though I have studied and read several books Catholic on this topic I found you helped simplify it further so I could get a grasp once again on this topic. I think it's easy to get mixed up primarily because of all the false protestant ideas circulating around and because this topic isn't decisive and requires a base grounding in Catholic church history and traditions to decifer the symbolic that StJohn writes about and no doubt is referring not only to his times but ours too

How does the Great Monarch prophecy fit in? It seems to be in alignment.
