Those fellas who Pastor John says had no formal training in the Book of Revelation yet understood all about the Rapture, the seven year Tribulation, the return of the Lord Jesus to set up the 1,000 year Kingdom, et al, nevertheless had the teaching of God the Holy Spirit Who indwells all believers! As I diligently studied the Scriptures He showed me, too! Hallelujah!
holy crap.. that comment about being weary of the flesh.. what a genuine way to put that. I’m speechless … beautiful
I seriously doubt this world has 10 years left before the rapture.
It’s 2024, and all the signs are there.
Matt 24:29-31 post trib, Rev 20:4-5 1st Resurrection post trib, 2 Thess 2: 1-4 u will see Antichrist and Abomination of Desolation, dont fall for this Pre Trib Garbage, Darby came up with this garbage 200 yrs ago
The bible says you must still wait 2 million years for that.
No! WE put Revelation “at the end!” Revelation is a symbolic explanation of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD!
matt ch 24 verses 29-31 says we go through it. just read it and feel free to have a notepad w you
NINETY NINE PERCENT OF ALL CHURCHES AND PASTORS are in error regarding Bible Prophecy and the rapture. There is no pretribulation rapture only the Second Coming of JESUS CHRIST. EVERY HUMAN ALIVE AT TIME OF TRIBULATION WILL HAVE TO ENDURE THROUGH IT. FURTHERMORE, MANY ARE IN ERROR REGARDING THE UNITED STATES in Bible Prophecy. The United States is the beast that rises out of the earth, not the water, and has two horns like a lamb but speaks as a dragon. The United States deceived by Satan, becomes the False prophet.
Just want to say i believe this is false. Bible teaches post trib. Why are believers being warned to keep theirs eyes out for abonination of desolation if they have been raptured? Why is God telling us to pray that we may avoid these things and survive? Its clear we go throigh tribulation. Just want to end on uniting note. Jesus loves us and had died for us as if we are the only ones to exist. We are saved by grace not works
But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Thank you 4:23 pastor McArthur for your faithful service
The rapture is unequivocally after the tribulation. There is a mountain of scripture to support this and every verse used to support the idea that Jesus is coming at "any minute" is clearly incorrect. https://youtu.be/BDU589GdAw4?si=vJz9EkSXK7ch_2W6
Calvinism is Satan’s religion. If God chose you like MacArthur and his TULIPS say, why would Jesus have to die for you…. Doesn’t God himself say that he gave his only son and the WHOEVER believes this will have eternal life…. CALVINISM will lead you straight to HELL!! Do your own research
John MacArthur is not a true prophet of anything anyone who denies the mother of God how can they be loved how can they be saved
He is precise, He came when He said He would. We are in the little season – a time of full deception, ALL nations are deceived.
Jesus please save me of my sins
Do the history homework of this theory…NOT BIBLICAL!
Founded on the vision of Margaret McDonald picked up by darby and popularized by the scofield bible (this man also has an Extremely sketchy biography) The
pre trib/millennium does Not exist till the mid 1800s….Also the same time frame as the cult explosion..
mormons/jehovah’s witness/christadelphians and the pentecostal/ charismatic movement!
I like mr. MacArthur BUT for a reformed "calvinist" his eschatology DOESN’T FIT!!!!
No where in the bible does it say we are going to be raptured out before the tribulation. Three different places Jesus said I will come with a sound of a great trumpet and every eye shall see. Does that sound like a secret coming? Jesus never said I am coming twice once halfway and then come and gather all the saints again.
The fact that anyone believes this madness is stunning in todays world. It’s a death cult
This is one of the best interviews ever! Two wonderful men of God, and the simplicity of JMac’s eschatological presentation, and the corresponding story, is profoundly refreshing & true!
Pastor John is so wrong. He doesn’t, at all, understand the book of Revelation. He needs to be taught the A, B, C … Z about the endtimes.
Ok so he bases the concept that rapture occurs by what is NOT written in the Bible.
He says in Rev 3 Church is on Earth and Rev 4 Church is in heaven. He interprets these chapters to be told in a chronological order relative the order of the chapters.
I am not making a case for or against. But am currently researching the arguments for and against the concept of rapture. I do not think this assumption is even evidence of rapture conceptually as there is an equally viable assumption you could make: John is having visions which are not in chronological order of time. But I would like to see evidence to back up either or both of these assumptions.
Nowhere in the Bible
we have been in the last days for some time now. we are in the book of revelations. it is not just the last 7 years.
Can anyone explain Acts 14:22. it says to me that I must go through much tribulation to enter the Kingdom of heaven. Acts 14: 22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
What I see in these comments… Many people sick of sin and its pain. (As we should be.) But should that be our overwhelming thought? "Christ come now and end my suffering!" Rather, let us strive for the work we’ve been called to, namely the sharing of the Gospel, and proclaiming Him. Let us not focus on our own suffering, but solely on Him and bringing Him glory. We were not created so that we could live comfortable lives, but to bring Him glory! Let Him be our sole focus, not our exit from pain and leaving of this body!
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Suffering makes us realize our weakness and frailty, so that, in our weakness we might see more of Him and rely on Him. Suffering isn’t a bad thing, but a blessing to bring about a further understanding of Him.
It never mentions the word rapture anywhere about first part of tribulation only says the church the followers of Christ will be cold on the last trumpet of the end of the tribulation
This guy twists the Bible at will. It is true that we will be given immortal bodies in the twinkling of an eye, but that will happen after Jesus appears in the clouds in view of the entire humankind. This will happen in the sixth seal of the tribulation, not before (Aps 6:12-17; Mat 24:29-31 and 1 Tes 4:15-17). The 70 weeks of Daniel was a prophesy for Israel and Jerusalem (Daniel 9:24), not for the latter times. There is no week pending. We do not know how long will the tribulation last. The church is not mentioned in chapter 4 and 5 at all. John and the 24 elders do not represent the church, not at all. The church is on earth during the tribulation, check Rev 7:14 and 14:12-13. Oversimplification is the problem. That’s how they twist the events. Revelation is very complex and includes lots of very precise events. It is paramount that we warn the church that the "man of lawlessness" will reveal himself before the coming of Jesus and the rapture (2 TEs 2:1,3) and that we prepare the church so that it can stand firm during the persecution by the beast of 7 heads (Aps 13:7).
John McArthur is a false prophet!!!
End Times for the ones that worshipping Satanic Demons Beast and the ones that do human sacrifaces in silence for being rich of it in Gold or money,is a Cursed Path they choose, Karma of dead is coming towards them.
John MacArthur – you are supposed to be a preacher of the word
Yeshua said in Luke 21, mark 13 and Matt 24 & 16 that he would return in THAT generation – not a future one
Yeshua said that some of the disciples would not taste death before his return Matt 16:28
Yeshua said to the high priest who sentenced him that he would see him coming in the clouds, (Mark 14:62) as would the soldier who pierced him (Rev 1:7)
In Revelation, John wrote to the 7 churches, they no longer exist – he was warning THEM not us and if you research look at their remains
Yeshua told John that it was imminent the judgement
Yeshua told him not to seal up the book BECAUSE THE THINGS THAT WERE TO HAPPEN WERE GOING TO BE SOON
Rev 22:20
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.
Rev was written circa AD 65, 5 have fallen, 1 is and 1 will be for a short while
Caesar
Augustus
Tiberius
Claudius
Caligula
Nero
The short while was Galba – in fact there were 4 rulers of sorts in one year
Nero reigned from 54-68 AD
The last 42 months of his reign was the tribulation
He burnt down part of Rome and blamed the Christians & persecuted them, & the Jews sided with him
burning them, throwing them to the lions, the dogs, barbecuing them – horrendous things
He was known as the beast
His name = 666
All the signs of the Olivet discourse happened from 30-70 AD – exactly as Yeshua foretold
Wars, rumours of wars, gospel preached to the nations, Pentecost
On the way to the cross he told the women to not weep for him but for themselves – why ?
The wrath followed in 70AD
1.1 million Jews were massacred
Josephus, a Jew, not a Christian, wrote, chariots and armies came out of the sky, attacking Jerusalem & he said every body saw it
Yeshua returned and shortly after was his 1000 yr reign
Satan was bound for this time and afterwards, released – Rev 20:7
Where he is given a last chance, Satans little season, to try to deceive the whole world
There’s a historian who has literally proven along with others that 700 yrs of our history has been invented
There are thousands of amazing buildings, palaces, cathedrals all over the world that are too precise, too ornate to have been built by man
How many times do they talk about lost civilisations like the Incas or myans
We’ve been deceived
Satan is in his little season
The bible says that he would change times and seasons – he has
The martyrs raptured died in Neros rule and those who were told to flee to the hills, we given new bodies and both reigned with Christ
Michelangelo could mean the Angel Michael
After the millennium reign there were all these buildings left – guess who took them…the Freemasons hence the name
This is how they stole and run the world
We are being deceived as to where in the Bible we are causing confusion and doubt
Satan has hidden the past from us

I respect this man of God but pre trib is a FALSE DOCTRINE. There is not one verse that says Jesus returns before the tribulation. But Jesus HIMSELF SAID he would return after the tribulation at the last trumpet on the clouds with his angels and everyone will see him coming THEN THEN THEN he will gather his Elect from the four corners of the winds.
Paul said that day THE COMING OF CHRIST and the resurrection of the justified CAN NOT HAPPEN UNTIL the great apostasy and the man of perdition standing in the 3rd temple claiming he is god.
We go through the tribulation and Jesus returns after the tribulation at the last trumpet then he gathers his Elect.
What verse actually says that the Holy Spirit residing in the church, is the restrainer of the anti christ?
God Bless I’d like to show you how I come to the conclusion that we were going to go through the Tribulation
The last Trumpet that sounds as the two end time Witnesses are raised from the dead in the clouds in revelation11 ?
Rev11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
And we all know Jesus comes in the clouds at the last Trumpet
1Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the DEAD in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the CLOUDS, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Cori15:51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Revelation11 has everything it’s got the right time period, the last 42 months, as the Holy City is given to the Gentiles. it’s got the Resurrection/Rapture, the dead rising first. it’s got them raised in the clouds. it’s got the last trumpet. What more could you ask for? It’s got everything you need to build a strong foundation, a firm foundation. It’s got more than enough to build your house upon a rock.
And if that’s right then Matthew 24 is right.
Matt 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, THEN the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And THEN shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and THEN shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the CLOUDS of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a TRUMPET and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
And here is another one.
2 Thess2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
That day cannot come except that man of sin be revealed, and sits in the Temple of God. and He cannot sit in the Temple of God and till the temple is built, and he doesn’t sit in the temple until middle of the seven years
Daniel 11:36 and 37. Daniel 9:27.
Build your house upon a rock not on circumstantial evidence.
Another boo-boo. Some people just can, get it right.
I stay with the King James Version only.
Thinking Biblically About Current Events – Nice how you turned off comments on that channel so you really deceive people and block the truth. What a MASSIVE liar!
This is a twist of scripture and is completely false. There is no 7 years of tribulation anywhere in the bible. This is the ignorance of men twisting Daniel’s prophecy. The end times are close but this is not biblically or historically correct. The covenant in Daniel is a FIRM covenant and not broken, that is what FIRM means! It is also not a covenant of men or nations; it is a demonic covenant giving the anti-Christ all their power. God does not care about animal sacrifices, Jesus’s death on the cross and resurrection ended that. The abomination of desolation is about the anti-Christ ending the sacrifice of Jesus’ atonement of sins, not animal sacrifices. The anti-Christ led astray 1/3 of the population (Islam) and ended Christ’s atonement for their sins by his abomination of desolation on the site of the holiest of holies. What sits upon the temple mount on the holiest of holies, The Dome of the rock! The dome of the rock has writing all around it which declares, "Allah is the only God and he has no son." This is the abomination of Desolation that takes away the sacrifice! Allah is not the God of Abraham; as the pope and many Christian leaders think, he is the anti-Christ and that is exactly what the anti-Christ wants everyone to think! Muhammad was the last prophet of Islam which is the False Prophet! The four horsemen and their colors are the first four leaders of Islam and the colors of Islam, look at the Palestinian flag and most flags in the Middle East, White, Red, Black and Pale Green. The Kaaba in Mecca surrounded by 7 mountains is Babylon! Christ is Living water but Allah is the bitter water in Revelation. The mark of the beast is the Shahada which Muslims wear on their forehead and ring, it states that Allah is the one true God, the anti-Christ! Muslims are not our enemy; they are being misled along with many Christians. The anti-Christ has managed to fool many with the help of sites like this about false prophecy. It is all there backed by scripture, this video is science fiction.
What about Mathew 24:21-22 ?❤
The tribulation has always been so interesting to me , and equally terrifying to think about .
Damnable lies.
The Christian age has no end! So this fact alone destroys ALL your arguments!!!
Eph 3:21…
Excellent, but get rid of the adverts. About four in the space of eight minutes.
In the bible,Moses fight against King pharao the beast worshippers crocodiles and do human babies sacrifaces for being rich of it in Gold or money,is a Cursed path they choose,karma of dead is coming towards them,the fall of king pharao Empires.
This is ridiculous.. if god is real …. Trump is the antichrist and the so called Christian people are headed straight for hell. With Donald trump leading them . Sexual assault.. stealing peoples land for golf courses demonizing people from other countries even Obama … hates immigrants wants them as slaves .. this show answers NOTHING .. no scripture!!! Just opinion!!
