No matter what challenges you're facing, know that you are not alone. God goes ahead of you, supports you in the present, and remains a guiding presence behind you. Walk with confidence, for God is with you through it all. Amen 🙏🤗🌈

Outstanding. Context is always king when interpreting scripture. Its tempting to read the word with the purpose of having it confirm presupposed ideas.

We are about to leave this world, don’t be conformed to it. God bless

For what it is worth, I give you 95% agreement of what I believe. After studying in depth "He who now restrains until He is taken out of the way. . . " refers to the Holy Spirit; you said God, so that is arguable as to whether we agree. However, unlike most pre-tribbers, although the restraining may cease with the removal of the Church, I do not believe the restraining is because the Holy Spirit is removed because of the Church. The "taken out of the way" is not a removal, but rather, the Holy Spirit no longer stands between a person and evil and thus evil will be able to proceed unhindered. However, the restraining may continue after the Rapture for a day, month, year or even longer--we really have no scripture that clarifies why and until when the restraining exist or whether the cessation is instantaneous or gradual, only that it will cease.

The Falling away Started about 85yrs ago with the Invention of Radio, telephone, and with TV, It picked up Speed. Then Cellphones even faster. And Now with computers, internet in everyone's hands, The Falling Away is and has happened faster than a super Sonic missile. We now have the World we are Living in and It's getting Darker by the day

Interesting perspective. However, can you not see that every first world country (especially those of Christian heritage/founding) have gone secular & have not only embraced transgender/homosexuality & wokeness, but are now very opposed to all-things Christian??

Sharing what the 1599 Geneva Bible says :
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that that man of sin be disclosed, even the son of perdition.

I love how you male your points ( great points I'd say ) and yet, don't call them "facts" and are open to other interpretations. I myself am a pre-trib guy because it very much seems that way to me according to the scriptures but I never tell anyone that THIS IS RIGHT, YOU'RE WRONG! I've had people act that way about their points like they're right and I'm doomed if I don't accept that! Pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib, is not essential to the faith, what is essential is belief in Jesus Christ, the Trinity and being born again. That's what saves us. I did subscribe. God Bless ☝️ ✝️ 🙏 🙌

Finally some one is getting it right. 🙌🙌🙏 Explaining the Bible Jesus used a lot of parables and symbols. And our bodies are temple of God. When scribe's and pharissees taking about the temple Jesus says our bodies is temple and building is God's house.

🤷‍♂️BROTHER, WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT to understand that “the day of Christ” is “one day” - that day when we shall be “gathered unto him” (2Thess2:1-2 KJV) Jesus told us four times in a row so that there would be no misunderstanding that he shall raise ALL believers “on the last day” (Jn6:39, 40, 44, 54 KJV) That’s a one-day, one-time “first resurrection” (Rev20:5 KJV) that happens when the “sun and the moon go dark” “immediately AFTER the tribulation”. (Rev6:12-14 Matt24:29-31 KJV)

[mannafromthefatherministries]

I have a question… How is the enemy going to make war with the “Saints” if we’ve all been raptured out? This has been a real question that has stood out in my mind for a while. Thank you so much and God bless you.

Could the falling away be the church not following true Bible teaching

[terraloft]

Such skillful application of scripture teaching scripture.

I love this channel. I instantly subscribed

Either way should we always be in vigilance and trust in our true Messiah? YAHUSHA(JESUS)

Really appreciate the work you put in to these videos...

I am 80, been in church my whole life, raised in a house with a prayer room 20x40’ stain glass windows where we had family devotions 5 days a week. After hearing all views of eschatology and listening to your podcast, my conclusion is.
According to Thessalonians 2 Chapter 2. that the day of Christ is the Rapture that takes place after the falling away, which is happening now and the man of lawlessness is revealed at anytime now. His revealing will be a ongoing thing to those who are waiting and watching for Christ return. I believe the tribulation will start right after the rapture on very close after. There is still thing that need to be done before the rapture can take place. More needs to be done to get ready for the third Temple to be built in order for the Antichrist to set himself up in the Temple to be worshipped. Israel needs to be in a better position then they are right now. In order for that to happen the Antichrist needs to be revealed who will help Israel build the Temple. The Antichrist has to be Jewish borne of satan seed and will fulfill Old Testament prophecy about the Jewish Messiah in order to deceive both Jews and dead so called Christians. There is no way this can be accomplished without the Antichrist being Jewish. The Scripture says he came unto His own and they received Him not, but one will come his own name that they will receive. So much more to say in order to put all the pieces together

[charliekamerer]

Thank you. Your analysis and teaching is inspired.

[halfulford]

If you study in the Bible and learn God's word you won't be deceived by these false prophets, teachers, preist. Jesus Christ is only coming back one more time and i pray that you have not been deceived.

[Thes]

From this passage, the Day of Christ is defined as a period which commences with the Coming of the Lord and our gathering together to him (rapture). Paul is simply expounding on the rapture in 1 Thes. 4:17 with 2 Thes. 2:2 NKJV. “Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.”
