Definitely 😊
Tom your book looks amazing!!! Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉
God bless you 🙏🤍
What about the books of that Apocrapha
🌟🌟🌟TOM YOUR GUEST MADE A SMALL ERROR. JESUS TOLD THE ONE THIEF THAT TODAY YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE. 🌟TWO POINTS: A) JESUS HAD NOT YET BEEN BURIED, THUS HE HAD NOT RISEN FROM THE GRAVE YET. B) AT THAT 🌟TIME IN HISTORY, THE SAINTS OF OLD WERE HELD DOWN IN THE EARTH. IN A PLACE CALLED, " ABRAHAM'S BOSOM ". DOWN IN THE EARTH THERE WAS A GREAT GULF. (THINK GRAND CANYON FOR A VISUAL). ON ONE SIDE WERE SINNERS IN TORMENT AND ON THE OTHER SAINTS WERE PROTECTED AND AWAITING CHRIST JESUS TO REDEEM THEM.
🌟THE THEIF DID NOT GO UP AND AWAY FROM THE EARTH INTO WHAT WE CALL HEAVEN.
GOD BLESS YOU.
😇🙏🙏🙏✝
Great show, and thanks Tom And Don for everything..I went to Don’s site and downloaded lots of his books …thanks Don may The Lord Bless you both
Great teaching! Thanks so much to both of you. 🎺
I agree with many believers in the comments section regarding Don’s ideology on some things. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
Yes, I believe it is well said that the fig tree is not Israel in Matthew 24, but I, along with others, believe that in verse 34 Jesus is merely referring to the generation of Jews living in Israel at that future time of the tribulation period (Daniel's 70th week), the events of which Jesus was describing earlier in the chapter.
The "generation" are specifically those in the future whom Jesus is addressing when saying, "Therefore, when you see the 'abomination of desolation'…" (v.15), or "if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ" (v.23), as examples. The "you" He is speaking to are obviously those making up that generation of Jews living at that terrible future time.
And so, He is affirming that such a generation will live to see all of those things occur, in light of it being a brief time period, that of seven years, as we know.
Great duo. Good, scriptural talk.
Death is sleep until the day of resurrection.
Revelation 20:4And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for [a]a thousand years. 5But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
As much as I respect both you guys and much of what you both share, I don't think Don is the appropriate person to ask about whether Jesus actually descended into Hell. Don, doesn't believe in the spiritual account of the fallen angels mixing with the daughters of men in Genesis chapter 6. Hmm🤔🙂
To be sure, Elijah and Enoch thought they were taken up "alive" from the Earth, the bible makes it very clear that NO HUMAN… no mortal… can enter heaven and see God and LIVE. Bible says this many times. THEREFORE we must consider the natural scientific processes that must have taken place at Enoch's and Elijah's transition! Their body MUST HAVE experienced 'death' in that transition, though they went 'alive', I do not find support for the idea that they are therefore still in their mortal state. Something more for people to think about…😅
Hmmm I don't know where people get the crazy idea that Jesus 'suffered' in hell. The bible says at the Cross "It is finished"! Not at the Cross plus the grave. But He DID descend into hell, or at least the place/placed we associate with and therefore seem to apply the title of 'Hell' to. So I disagree on that point. Depending on who you listen to, some say there is no such place called Hell. Yet we all understand what 'place' we are referring to when we use that term! Bible teaches that Jesus "Went and preached to the spirits chained in darkness from the days of pre Noah! That, in my estimation of 'normal' educated thinking and understanding = at least an aspect of 'Hell'. But Jesus wasn't beaten up while there! 😂😮 What did Jesus preach to them? We have no idea, but I think Jack Hibbs gave a reasonabe assumption that He proclaimed to them HIS Victory over Death and that He was the One ALL the Word of God promised and spoke about, even to those who lived before Noah. Those spirits were in a lower section of Hell. Sheol is one word that describes Hell…. Whether completely accurate or not, it certainly include two chambers: the tormented and those in Paradise, and there is clear reference that each was 'visible' and communicable (it seems) to the other, at least to the spokesperson (in that Luke 16 case, Abraham). However, when Ephesians 4 quotes from the Psalms, it becomes clear that not only did Jesus descend in spirit into the "lower parts of the earth", which includes Hell, upon His ascent, we read that He "took captivity captive" and took ALL of Paradise back to the Presence of God.
When it says Jesus set the captives free, I had taken that as Jesus had to reveal himself to those in the Old Testament who he was might believe upon him and that they might confess that he is Lord and believe, Old Testament Saints only received a covering for their sin forgiveness of the sin came at that time Jesus died and he still had to reveal himself
All have been given the chance of salvation through Christ alone, even those who died and were in hades or sheol. Otherwise God is not just. Please explain this as you are teaching that those who died before Christ went and stayed in hell forever.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. what do you mean old testament they went to heaven not what the bible says and the bible says after Jesus he went to Abraham's bosom and took the old testament saint with him to heaven.
Out of the body is to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8. There you go. 😂
Where did Jesus go immediately after he died? Mt 12:40
The blood of bulls and goats ONLY covered sins…Abraham was in the portal called paradise untill Jesus paid the sin debt ,HE led captivity captive. The gentiles will be the same until we all come in and then go up.
We are now in the fallen state! The World is broken from the fall of Adam!! We are in the flesh fallen state!
The Bible reads To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
Hey Tom, I too, was raised Catholic, left that faith and am now born again believer! When counting my blessings, I see that God called me out of Catholicism, to see His true, saving faith. To be called out is a blessing! Amen!!!
Really enjoyed this teaching! Thanks 🙏
(Ancient Dan)
As a former catholic of 37 yrs, I was petrified of purgatory knowing I'd be burning 🔥 in pain until enough people bought mass cards at catholic wakes to get people prayed out early.
I was taught that Jesus went to the lower parts of the Earth to get those in Abrahams bosom and brought them to heaven.
On the way down to hell people believe the BIBLEis true –but it's too late __ today get saved by the only SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST that you'll know and be sure 💯 that you'll go to Heaven. do it!
Does the Vine represent Christians ?……..Whats the difference between bad figs and good figs ? What about the last verse in Zechariah 3 ?
What about the scripture that tells us that he took the keys of death and Hell away from Satan. That is what he was doing in the lower parts. Victorious over death he released captives that were in the compartment next to the rich man who wanted a drop of water. That happened when he was resurrected. That place is empty now. About the part that says he released the captives free out of hell when he was resurrected. I pray for all people who try to inform people about very deep subjects. We can not change one dot. From the word of God. Perhaps we need to pray that God give us wisdom before we read the scripture instead of Taking what a person may say that he believes. Always go to scripture after praying first for wisdom. This is my very first comment on any program, but I couldn’t help but voice my opinion.
Christ saved us as believers from the wrath of God.
It would help if Don provided Biblical texts for each of his points. He talks about “the evidence” but does not present the scripture verses. We need this for when we instruct others.
14:55 disagree completely. They all went down to Sheol – believing or unbelieving. Abraham's bosom/paradise was the 'saved' spot, and gehenna/hell/hades was where the 'unsaved' were and still go. Jesus died, went to Sheol (also called hell) and took the believing Jews of the OT to heaven upon His resurrection. Now Abraham's bosom is pretty scenery to those who are still in sheol/hell/gehenna. No believer now goes to Sheol, only the unbelieving until they are thrown in the Lake of Fire.
Don, with Lazarus and the rich man, if paradise is heaven does that mean that the dead can see into heaven as the rich man could see Lazarus in Abraham's bosom?
When John in Rev 4 is caught up he sees the redeemed already rewarded. How is it an interim time.
Maybe I’m having an off day but I’m even more confused after watching this video. 😢
Tom, the Dans doesn’t make any sense because it said in Matthews that just as Jonah was in the belly of a whale for three days and three nights Jesus will be in the belly of the Earth for three days and three nights..
Love when Pastor Tom has Don Stewart on, very informative.
Yes, you are conscious when in Spirit. You are aware of who you are and all things as if in Body.
My husband passed away unexpectedly in November of 2022 of a heart attack. I know where he is at, he was saved and loved the Lord. I just really miss him but I know I’ll be seeing him again soon. He is safe with our Lord Jesus Christ. I often remind myself that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
It's hard to take this man seriously, he uses so much could be should be maybes possibly etc. Just say'n .. 🤐😒😵💫
Love to see Tom ask Don how his daughter is going in the NWO Road Scholar program.
I have a lot of respect for you Don Stewart, but as far as the resurrection goes, you’re just is wrong on it is Kenneth Copeland is
Read the gospel of John, the dead sleep
And when you can't preach and teach the word of God that the mark of the beast comes from the pharmacy I am obligated to hold you accountable with god plain and simple
Four years ago this coming Monday I witnessed the second my husband saw Jesus coming for him!
As a Catholic growing up, I felt so bad for those in purgatory, I prayed many hours to release people in purgatory. Also a priest told me not to pray to Jesus as he is so busy to pray to Mary his mother and she would speak to Jesus on my behalf.
