Revelation is God's final revelation to humanity which is why Atheism will ultimately be non existent in the future. OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NOT UP FOR DEBATE IT'S BOTH THEIR FAULT. To ALL the Atheists in the comments section like Mustache, Barbara Bond, Theo Skeptomai, Dux, Mac and all of the others PLEASE STOP parroting Matt Dillahunty DISHONEST DODGING TACTICS. ATHEISM AIN'T GOT NOTHING NEW OR BETTER TO OFFER THAN THE VERY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS THEY'RE CRITICAL OF SO IT'S HYPOCRISY AT IT'S FINEST 😂. Hello this is for all you Atheists, unbelievers and skeptics. I'm going to address a few misconceptions and lies about God's Character and His Word. The Bible doesn't support chattel slavery or anything else Immoral. Ok so Atheists and unbelievers say God is either Immoral, incompetent or not responsible so let's see what The Scriptures actually say. God revealed himself and created a nation in a real, historical context. It was a world with a slave-based economy, with city states often at war with each other, with polygamous marriages to ensure the continuation of family lines. The laws of the Old Testament regulate this behaviour. Slaves are to be treated humanely (Exodus 21:11). They are given rights and not seen as mere possessions. Hebrew slaves were able to buy their own freedom. Human trafficking is condemned (Exodus 21:16). In contrast to the law code of Babylon, Old Testament Israel was a light to the nations. The Old Testament law and narratives do not stand alone. Jesus is now the best example of what we read. So the moral teaching of the Bible cannot be summarised by a quote taken out of context from the Old Testament to demonize God and His Word. Slavery was permitted in Old Testament law but it was regulated by God giving the Israelites instructions on how to fairly and humanely treat their slaves (it was like indentured servitude where someone could work for you if they owed debts or needed income not cruel like chattel slavery). God allowed the people of Israel to own slaves since they themselves has already experienced over 400 years of generations of Egyptian slavery and knew how inhumane it was to be beaten, overworked and taxed so God set them apart from other nations and cultures around them by giving them a fair way to treat their slaves since slavery had already existed in the world but it doesn't mean God condoned it just used it for His Will to bring Good And in the light of the whole scriptural teaching, we find the reasons for its ultimate abolition (Ephesians 6:9; Colossians 4:1-3; Philemon 15-16 and Galatians 3:28). The Word of God provided the moral standard against slavery in the Roman Empire and against the slave trade in the New World. But what of genocide or holy war in the book of Joshua? Several things could be pointed out. The use of warfare in the ancient world did not always mean literal total destruction, even when events are described in such terms. Furthermore, the book of Joshua does not describe a genocide. It is not a race who are being wiped out, as in genocide, but a religious practice which was often appalling and degrading. Those who repent (like Rahab from Jericho or Ruth) are not destroyed but become part of Israel. It is not the racial group that is in view but their "detestable practices". However, after all is said, we must still acknowledge that God brought judgment on the nations of Canaan. It is not our place as believers isn't to sugar-coat the Bible. For some skeptics, this is enough to make God a moral monster. But the fact is that Jesus continued to affirm that God is a Judge who will bring a future judgment on all peoples and all nations. God’s judgment will be just. The list of Old Testament stories rejected by critics often leads to a similar dismissal of the New Testament teaching of Jesus on the existence of hell. After all, what was the Flood of Genesis or the conquest of Joshua if not a glimpse of future judgment? Hell does not demonstrate cruelty on God’s part, but it does demonstrate His Holiness and our moral accountability. Perhaps this is the real reason many people rail against the God of the Bible? It is not that they think He is a moral monster, but that they are afraid He is a moral Judge, and that has implications for our behaviour now. God is an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being and we as His creatures have Eternal souls and spirits so the punishment for our sins against Him must therefore also be Eternal but so must the reward for righteousness that's why He sent His Son Jesus to live a perfectly righteous and sinless Life (which none of us could ever possibly expect to do) suffer the humiliating and torturous death of crucifixion to shed His Own Blood willingly so that all who willingly accept His gift of salvation by grace through faith in Him will be saved and given Eternal life because that's what God wants is for us to willingly accept His gift of salvation and choose life. Exodus 21:20-21 literally speaks about capital punishment befalling anyone who mistreats their slaves so yes people are taking Scripture out of context to demonize God who literally promises that slaves who are mistreated under someone else's authority is to be avenged. When we hear the word “slavery” we think of innocent human beings, kept prisoner for life, having no rights under law and so reduced to animals. This is clearly immoral because it is unjust: the slave has done nothing to deserve the treatment. The situation described as “slavery” in the Bible was nothing like this. It is more accurately described as one of indentured servitude. Many “slaves” were indentured servants, working for a term of years
Some other “slaves” were prisoners. There were no prisons. Prisoners had to work to live like everyone else. Some had life sentences. Some served a term and were released. People didn't beat their good slaves but treated them well and protected their assets thus.
But no matter how rebellious a slave was, you couldn't just beat them to death. And if you knocked out their tooth or damaged their eye then you had to set them free. (Exodus 21:26). God wasn't using what other nations did because He wanted to set His Chosen People of Israel apart from the cruel, inhumane and unjust systems other cultures had so He gave them a fair way to treat their slaves and servants. There is a lot of ignorance on this topic which is understandable given the age we live in but it's not the nefarious set up we think of when we think of modern slavery. The question Atheists must ask themselves is how come the Jews aren't being accused of slavery and human trafficking if they're guilty of it in The Bible and why would white slave owners rip out pages from The Old and New Testament Scriptures to justify their owning blacks as slaves if The Bible already justified slavery?
Revelation is about to unfold as over 2000-2005 prophecies in The Bible have already been fulfilled within the last 7000 years of human history. EXACTLY brother Frank Turek and Cross Examined ministry we all yearn for a JUST AND HEAVENLY UTOPIA THUS OUR CREATOR'S IMAGE AND LIKENESS BEING AN EXTENSION OF HIS WILL IN US. Thanks to The Lord our God for preserving His Word through the centuries in The Bible so Christians and Apologists can do Good in uploading these videos. Brother Frank Turek and Cross Examined ministry always do good work in their efforts in the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ you're reaching thousands to millions of people who are seeking after The Truth of God's Existence, Word and Character in our reality 🙏❤️👊. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
Multiple Second Coming Visions in Revelation: (The book is not in chronological order. )
Christ returns at the end of Revelation chapter 6, with signs in the sun, moon, and stars, as are found in the Olivet Discourse.
Those at the end of the chapter are hiding from the wrath of the Lamb.
Why would they be hiding if Christ is not present?
The "kings", "captains", "might men", "free", and "bond" are also found in chapter 19 at the return of Christ.
He returns at the 7th trumpet, which is the last trumpet in the Bible, and the time of the judgment of the dead in Revelation 11:15-18.
The beginning of chapter 12 is a history lesson containing the fall of Satan, and the birth and death of Christ, who is the seed promised to crush the head of Satan in Genesis 3:15.
The Second Coming is found in the "harvest" of chapter 14, which is related to the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew chapter 13.
He comes as a thief at Armageddon, and we find the greatest earthquake in history in chapter 16. This occurs when the 7th angel pours out his vial. How powerful is an earthquake which moves islands and destroys the mountains? What is happening to the planet?
He comes on a horse in chapter 19.
Chapter 20?
Does He come with the fire, and the judgment of the dead at the end of chapter 20, which agrees with what Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, and 2 Timothy 4:1?
(The time of the judgment of the dead is also found in Revelation 11:18.)
There are no mortals left alive on the planet at the end of Matthew 25:31-46.
Why does an angel come down from heaven with a key to unlock the bottomless pit in Revelation 9:1-2, if the pit was not already locked before that time?
Revelation 9:14 proves some of the angels were previously bound in some manner.
Because the two witnesses were bodily resurrected from the dead in Revelation 11, the "first resurrection" at the beginning of Revelation 20 is not the first bodily resurrection in the book.
The principle of "Recapitulation" means there are multiple visions of His return.
====================================
A Millennium Puzzle to solve…
The “first resurrection” in Rev. chapter 20 is not the first bodily resurrection in the Book of Revelation, because the two witnesses are resurrected from the dead in chapter 11. There are two different types of resurrection in John chapter 5. There is a spiritual resurrection from the dead in John 5:24, and a bodily resurrection from the dead in John 5:28-29.
My view of the Millennium agrees with what Paul said in 2 Thess. 1:7-10, when Paul said Christ returns in "flaming fire" taking vengeance on those who do not obey the Gospel. The fire comes at the end of Rev. chapter 20.
My view agrees with what Peter said in 2 Peter 3:10-13, when Peter said this earth is going to burn and "dissolve" when He comes as a thief on the day of the Lord. The fire comes at the end of Rev. chapter 20.
My view agrees with what Paul said in 2 Tim. 4:1, when Paul said both the living and the dead will be judged at His appearing. The time of the judgment of the dead, with reward for some and destruction for others is found in Rev. 11:18, right after the 7th trumpet, which is the last trumpet in the Bible. (This verse also proves the Book of Rev. is not in chronological order.) The judgment of the dead is also found at the end of Rev. chapter 20.
My view agrees with what Jesus said in Matt. 25:31-46, where He described the judgment of the sheep and goats, which leaves no mortals alive on the planet at the end of the passage. There are also no mortals left alive on the planet at the end of Rev. chapter 19.
My view agrees with Peter in 2 Pet. 2:4, and Jude in Jude 1:6, when they both said wicked angels are already in chains of darkness.
My view agrees with what John recorded in Rev. 9:1-2, when an angel comes down from heaven with a key to unlock the pit, which means the pit was locked before that time. Are there wicked angels already in the pit in Rev. 9:11? John recorded angels already "bound" in Rev. 9:14. The beast "ascends" out of the pit in Rev. chapter 11, which means the beast was in the pit before that time.
Take all of the above and compare it to the symbolic language found in Rev. chapter 20, and the fact the Book of Revelation is not in chronological order, and you will have the truth.
Pretty obvious who the antichrist is and the mother of all harlots. Only one person has the title pontifex maximus and claims to have God's authority for around 1500 years now. And there is only one country that is the richest and most powerful.
therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: the maiden is with child and she will bear a son, and will call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14…. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6…. Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. Daniel 9:25…. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. John 10:17…
Part 2/3 So when the Jewish people return to the Land of Israel predicted in Jeremiah 24 and Ezekiel 37:21-22 Then we will see ALL these things, not 1 or some but ALL of them. But there are other facts. Jesus says He will return under 1 condition Matthew 24:21, 29-30 NLT 21 For there will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began. And it will never be so great again. 22 In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive….29 “Immediately after the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." Now I am not saying this gives us a date but it gives us 1 lifespan to watch. We also know we are 74 years into that lifespan and so His return isn't 1000 or 100 years away. And we currently have the technology to wipe all life from the earth via war (which is what Armageddon is).
So is Israel important? Yeah. There's no interpretation on this. In fact Paul tells us of a transition between us Gentiles and the Jews in Romans 11 "that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written:"
Our time here is almost over but that transition will be a violent one. We are headed to WW3 (Jesus tells us this) We will see global famine and a global economic collapse via hyperinflation (these are all predicted) The US is a dead nation and the West will fall soon. We know this because China, Russia, Iran, and many other nations are mentioned later in the timeline but not the West (not with the power they have now). So don't be surprised when these things unfold next year. Jesus said "See that you are NOT afraid for ALL these things must come to pass. If anyone tries to tell you we can't know if Jesus is coming soon, don't Believe them because they don't understand the topic. I also advise against the "panmillienium" view because that's simply a cop-out. God has dedicated 1/3 of His Word to this topic and even though I may disagree with many interpretations apathy towards this topic has got to be the worst for me. I could go on and on but I hope this helps a little bit. Take care. Pray for the Lost, pray for wisdom, share Jesus, and no matter what comes in the days ahead trust the LORD has a plan, because many will lose faith as they are blindsided by what is coming.
(Part 3 should you wish to read it will be an in-depth breakdown on the most immediate events we will face so you can be prepared not scared.)
We are wrong about the Rapture. When the scripture was translated into Latin, the taking up , is rapturo.. Jesus talked about it. But with people trying to interpret Revelation, there was false or lack interpretation in past of the rapture.
the book of revelations should be a warning to the Christian to share the gospel and to the non believers to respond to the gospel. time is running out
Jesus is open the eyes and hearts of people who are seeking to understand the Bible today of the coming of Jesus if people would ask the Holy Spirit to give them understanding they would be Amazed how the Bible comes alive for today please open your Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding in Jesus name I pray 🙏 Amen 🙏 Hallelujah God's Holy Word the Bible Jesus is coming soon Hallelujah 🙏 Amen 🙏
I thought no Prophecy is of any private interpretation! It has to be given by the Holy Spirit/Ghost! Also the Header of the Book of Revelation is the Revelation of JESUS Christ/ of Who HE is and how HE Comes to us!
This again. The revelations have roughly the same success rate as random chance. Sometimes you get it right and the rest of the time you get it wrong. If names, dates, and locations were included the revelation would be more accurate.
If Frank Turek asks atheists: Would you become a christian if christianity was true? You could simply answere: That depends if that God if exists, wanted me to since I did not have any choice since I did not asked to be created nor what to believe. And then you could ask Frank Turek: Why would God create anyone against their will? Then he would have to answere something like: God works in mystrious ways that we do not have any knowledge of. And by that or similar answere, he admits we have no free will. And then you can ask Frank Turek why he supports any human to be born if there is a chance that 1 person wish never to have existed? or are antinatalist more loving than the God you believe in Frank Turek?
Calvin didn't have everything figured out. He never did. Once saved, always saved. No not. You can lose your salvation by returning to the old man.
The book of revelation is easy to understand
Revelation is God's final revelation to humanity which is why Atheism will ultimately be non existent in the future. OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NOT UP FOR DEBATE IT'S BOTH THEIR FAULT. To ALL the Atheists in the comments section like Mustache, Barbara Bond, Theo Skeptomai, Dux, Mac and all of the others PLEASE STOP parroting Matt Dillahunty DISHONEST DODGING TACTICS.

Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
Multiple Second Coming Visions in Revelation: (The book is not in chronological order. )
Christ returns at the end of Revelation chapter 6, with signs in the sun, moon, and stars, as are found in the Olivet Discourse.
Those at the end of the chapter are hiding from the wrath of the Lamb.
Why would they be hiding if Christ is not present?
The "kings", "captains", "might men", "free", and "bond" are also found in chapter 19 at the return of Christ.
He returns at the 7th trumpet, which is the last trumpet in the Bible, and the time of the judgment of the dead in Revelation 11:15-18.
The beginning of chapter 12 is a history lesson containing the fall of Satan, and the birth and death of Christ, who is the seed promised to crush the head of Satan in Genesis 3:15.
The Second Coming is found in the "harvest" of chapter 14, which is related to the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew chapter 13.
He comes as a thief at Armageddon, and we find the greatest earthquake in history in chapter 16. This occurs when the 7th angel pours out his vial. How powerful is an earthquake which moves islands and destroys the mountains? What is happening to the planet?
He comes on a horse in chapter 19.
Chapter 20?
Does He come with the fire, and the judgment of the dead at the end of chapter 20, which agrees with what Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, and 2 Timothy 4:1?
(The time of the judgment of the dead is also found in Revelation 11:18.)
There are no mortals left alive on the planet at the end of Matthew 25:31-46.
Why does an angel come down from heaven with a key to unlock the bottomless pit in Revelation 9:1-2, if the pit was not already locked before that time?
Revelation 9:14 proves some of the angels were previously bound in some manner.
Because the two witnesses were bodily resurrected from the dead in Revelation 11, the "first resurrection" at the beginning of Revelation 20 is not the first bodily resurrection in the book.
The principle of "Recapitulation" means there are multiple visions of His return.
====================================
A Millennium Puzzle to solve…
The “first resurrection” in Rev. chapter 20 is not the first bodily resurrection in the Book of Revelation, because the two witnesses are resurrected from the dead in chapter 11. There are two different types of resurrection in John chapter 5. There is a spiritual resurrection from the dead in John 5:24, and a bodily resurrection from the dead in John 5:28-29.
My view of the Millennium agrees with what Paul said in 2 Thess. 1:7-10, when Paul said Christ returns in "flaming fire" taking vengeance on those who do not obey the Gospel. The fire comes at the end of Rev. chapter 20.
My view agrees with what Peter said in 2 Peter 3:10-13, when Peter said this earth is going to burn and "dissolve" when He comes as a thief on the day of the Lord. The fire comes at the end of Rev. chapter 20.
My view agrees with what Paul said in 2 Tim. 4:1, when Paul said both the living and the dead will be judged at His appearing. The time of the judgment of the dead, with reward for some and destruction for others is found in Rev. 11:18, right after the 7th trumpet, which is the last trumpet in the Bible. (This verse also proves the Book of Rev. is not in chronological order.) The judgment of the dead is also found at the end of Rev. chapter 20.
My view agrees with what Jesus said in Matt. 25:31-46, where He described the judgment of the sheep and goats, which leaves no mortals alive on the planet at the end of the passage. There are also no mortals left alive on the planet at the end of Rev. chapter 19.
My view agrees with Peter in 2 Pet. 2:4, and Jude in Jude 1:6, when they both said wicked angels are already in chains of darkness.
My view agrees with what John recorded in Rev. 9:1-2, when an angel comes down from heaven with a key to unlock the pit, which means the pit was locked before that time. Are there wicked angels already in the pit in Rev. 9:11? John recorded angels already "bound" in Rev. 9:14. The beast "ascends" out of the pit in Rev. chapter 11, which means the beast was in the pit before that time.
Take all of the above and compare it to the symbolic language found in Rev. chapter 20, and the fact the Book of Revelation is not in chronological order, and you will have the truth.
I sooo figured the harpazo was gonna happen this past Elul/Tishri .. any second now, any second 👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯
Maranatha!!
I don’t like book of revelation . I think it is really a useless book that we shouldn’t read.
Pretty obvious who the antichrist is and the mother of all harlots. Only one person has the title pontifex maximus and claims to have God's authority for around 1500 years now. And there is only one country that is the richest and most powerful.
therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: the maiden is with child and she will bear a son, and will call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14….
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6….
Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. Daniel 9:25….
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. John 10:17…
Part 2/3
So when the Jewish people return to the Land of Israel predicted in Jeremiah 24 and Ezekiel 37:21-22 Then we will see ALL these things, not 1 or some but ALL of them.
But there are other facts.
Jesus says He will return under 1 condition
Matthew 24:21, 29-30 NLT
21 For there will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began. And it will never be so great again. 22 In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive….29 “Immediately after the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
Now I am not saying this gives us a date but it gives us 1 lifespan to watch. We also know we are 74 years into that lifespan and so His return isn't 1000 or 100 years away. And we currently have the technology to wipe all life from the earth via war (which is what Armageddon is).
So is Israel important? Yeah. There's no interpretation on this. In fact Paul tells us of a transition between us Gentiles and the Jews in Romans 11 "that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written:"
Our time here is almost over but that transition will be a violent one. We are headed to WW3 (Jesus tells us this) We will see global famine and a global economic collapse via hyperinflation (these are all predicted) The US is a dead nation and the West will fall soon. We know this because China, Russia, Iran, and many other nations are mentioned later in the timeline but not the West (not with the power they have now). So don't be surprised when these things unfold next year. Jesus said "See that you are NOT afraid for ALL these things must come to pass.
If anyone tries to tell you we can't know if Jesus is coming soon, don't Believe them because they don't understand the topic.
I also advise against the "panmillienium" view because that's simply a cop-out. God has dedicated 1/3 of His Word to this topic and even though I may disagree with many interpretations apathy towards this topic has got to be the worst for me.
I could go on and on but I hope this helps a little bit. Take care. Pray for the Lost, pray for wisdom, share Jesus, and no matter what comes in the days ahead trust the LORD has a plan, because many will lose faith as they are blindsided by what is coming.
(Part 3 should you wish to read it will be an in-depth breakdown on the most immediate events we will face so you can be prepared not scared.)
Keep up the incredible content! We appreciate your hard work!!
"Calvin… the guy who had everything else figured out" haha
We are wrong about the Rapture. When the scripture was translated into Latin, the taking up , is rapturo.. Jesus talked about it. But with people trying to interpret Revelation, there was false or lack interpretation in past of the rapture.
the book of revelations should be a warning to the Christian to share the gospel and to the non believers to respond to the gospel. time is running out
Jesus is open the eyes and hearts of people who are seeking to understand the Bible today of the coming of Jesus if people would ask the Holy Spirit to give them understanding they would be Amazed how the Bible comes alive for today please open your Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding in Jesus name I pray 🙏 Amen 🙏 Hallelujah God's Holy Word the Bible Jesus is coming soon Hallelujah 🙏 Amen 🙏
this is good
God Bless Israel in Jesus Christ Name Amen .
The rapture is hardly new, Paul wrote about it.
This whole video i thought i was hearing Franks voice! whoa! 😮
I thought no Prophecy is of any private interpretation! It has to be given by the Holy Spirit/Ghost! Also the Header of the Book of Revelation is the Revelation of JESUS Christ/ of Who HE is and how HE Comes to us!
He's so much like Frank, dad jokes and all
So that's Meggido huh? Very interesting to see.
This again.
The revelations have roughly the same success rate as random chance. Sometimes you get it right and the rest of the time you get it wrong.
If names, dates, and locations were included the revelation would be more accurate.
If Frank Turek asks atheists: Would you become a christian if christianity was true? You could simply answere: That depends if that God if exists, wanted me to since I did not have any choice since I did not asked to be created nor what to believe. And then you could ask Frank Turek: Why would God create anyone against their will? Then he would have to answere something like: God works in mystrious ways that we do not have any knowledge of. And by that or similar answere, he admits we have no free will. And then you can ask Frank Turek why he supports any human to be born if there is a chance that 1 person wish never to have existed? or are antinatalist more loving than the God you believe in Frank Turek?
