[9:56] way you may be seated at this time we'll

[9:58] have the message for the evening

[10:20] tonight well this

[10:24] lesson oops

[10:30] there this lesson is on the end

[10:36] times and if you'll turn to first

[10:39] Thessalonians chapter

[10:49] 4 first Thessalonians chapter 4 starting

[10:53] in verse

[10:55] 13 but I would not that you

[10:59] I would but I would not have you to be

[11:02] ignorant Brethren concerning them which

[11:04] are asleep that you sorrow not even as

[11:07] others which have no hope for if we

[11:10] believe that Jesus died and rose again

[11:14] even so them also which sleep in Jesus

[11:18] will God bring with

[11:20] him for this we say unto you by the word

[11:23] of the Lord that we which are alive and

[11:27] remain unto the coming of the Lord Lord

[11:30] shall not prevent them which are asleep

[11:34] for the Lord himself shall descend from

[11:37] heaven with a shout with the voice of

[11:40] the Archangel and with the Trump of God

[11:43] and the dead in Christ shall rise first

[11:47] then we which are alive and remain shall

[11:50] be caught up together with them in the

[11:53] clouds to meet the Lord in the air and

[11:56] so shall we ever be with the Lord

[11:59] wherefore Comfort one another with these

[12:03] words so here the Apostle Paul's telling

[12:07] us

[12:08] that there's coming a time when Jesus is

[12:12] going to come back for us and then we

[12:16] can go to heaven be with

[12:20] him and we call that the

[12:22] Rapture so when does The Rapture

[12:26] occur there's a lot of different on when

[12:30] the Rapture

[12:32] occurs but first to understand when the

[12:36] Rapture

[12:37] occurs we need to look in Revelation at

[12:42] what we call the millennial reign of

[12:46] Christ Revelation chapter 20

[13:04] in verse one it says and I saw an angel

[13:08] come down from heaven having the key of

[13:10] the bottomless pit and a great chain in

[13:14] his hand and he laid hold on the dragon

[13:18] that old serpent which is the devil and

[13:21] Satan and bound him a thousand years and

[13:25] cast him into the bottomless pit and

[13:28] shut him up

[13:29] and set a seal upon him that he should

[13:33] deceive the Nations no more till the

[13:36] Thousand Years should be fulfilled and

[13:39] after that he must be loosed a little

[13:42] season and I saw Thrones and they that

[13:46] sat upon them and judgment was given

[13:49] unto

[13:50] them and I saw the souls of them that

[13:53] were beheaded for the witness of Jesus

[13:56] and for the word of God had not

[13:59] worshiped the Beast neither his image

[14:02] neither had received his Mark upon their

[14:05] foreheads nor on their hands and they

[14:09] lived and reigned with Christ a thousand

[14:12] years but the rest of the Dead lived not

[14:15] again until the thousand years were

[14:18] finished this is the first

[14:21] resurrection blessed and holy is he that

[14:23] hath part in the First Resurrection on

[14:26] such the second death hath no power

[14:29] but they shall be Priests of God and of

[14:32] Christ and shall reign with him a

[14:35] thousand

[14:37] years so that Thousand-Year period is

[14:40] what we call the

[14:41] Millennium and the Latin word Millie

[14:45] from once we get millennium means a

[14:50] thousand and there's different views on

[14:53] the

[14:55] Millennium first

[15:01] is

[15:04] Al all

[15:08] Millennial Millennial is a

[15:12] thousand so it's a thousand years of

[15:14] Christ and all means no so they're

[15:18] saying no Millennial no thousand year of

[15:22] Christ

[15:24] raining so they have the

[15:27] view that

[15:30] the

[15:30] millennial the thousand years is just a

[15:35] long period of

[15:37] time they had the idea that the thousand

[15:42] years is an allegory for a long

[15:46] time and that it started sometime in

[15:50] history after Jesus rose from the dead

[16:02] but there you have to say that in that

[16:06] view you have to say that what God said

[16:09] he didn't

[16:11] mean so why would God say something that

[16:14] he didn't

[16:19] mean so we should take what we call the

[16:22] literal interpretation we should take

[16:25] the literal view that God says what he

[16:27] means

[16:32] if you if someone came up to you and

[16:35] said I'm going to give you a present and

[16:37] then turned around and walked off and

[16:39] didn't do

[16:40] it oh I just that was just an

[16:46] allegory I mean you're you're going to

[16:48] get you get to breathe free

[16:51] there you can go to the store and get

[16:54] something you

[16:55] know didn't mean what you said that's

[16:59] you can't hold God to

[17:06] that so they they think

[17:10] that the it's just a period of time

[17:14] until Christ comes and

[17:19] that that it's just a figure of speech

[17:22] and not

[17:25] literal so the all Millennials don't

[17:28] believe

[17:29] the literal words that God

[17:32] said and the other the

[17:35] other view of the Millennium is called

[17:38] postm

[17:41] Millennial and they believe that the

[17:44] millennial Millennium the 10, year reign

[17:49] occurs prior to Christ coming

[17:53] back so you you have a thousand years

[17:56] and then Christ returns

[18:00] but what

[18:02] did verse four say at the end and they

[18:05] lived and reigned with Christ a thousand

[18:08] years how can you reign with Christ if

[18:11] he doesn't come back until after the

[18:13] Thousand

[18:16] Years so they've got

[18:18] a a wrong view too because you can't

[18:22] reign with Christ after the thousand

[18:25] years is

[18:26] over you're supposed to be thousand

[18:29] years with

[18:32] him so they think Christ will come after

[18:35] the

[18:36] Millennium and after the millennial

[18:38] Reign the new Heaven and the new Earth

[18:40] will

[18:43] arise some of post Millennials think

[18:46] that it's just a long period of time

[18:50] again and there's some that think it

[18:54] started in in 500 AD up to 1800 ad and

[19:00] then that's

[19:02] when the Reformation occurred you think

[19:06] it was

[19:07] then others think we're living in part

[19:10] of it

[19:13] now they tend to they tend to believe

[19:17] that you go

[19:20] from when Christ was

[19:24] resurrected that through the preaching

[19:27] of the Gospel the world will get better

[19:29] and better and better and better and as

[19:31] it gets better and better and better

[19:33] then Christ will

[19:38] come but our world's not getting

[19:44] better and

[19:47] then the view that we hold is

[19:52] premillennial we

[19:54] believe that we've had a from Christ

[19:58] Resurrection

[20:00] up until the Rapture then there's a

[20:03] period of time called the

[20:06] tribulation and then at the end of the

[20:09] tribulation Jesus returns to earth and

[20:13] sets up his kingdom and Reigns for a

[20:15] thousand years and we get to be part of

[20:19] his administration that Reigns on the

[20:26] earth they premillennial believe that

[20:28] Christ literally returns to earth before

[20:31] the

[20:32] Millennium and Reigns a thousand

[20:35] years before bringing everything to an

[20:38] end at the end of the Thousand Years

[20:40] Satan's released for a little

[20:42] season then there's a big

[20:45] war and then all the Lost are judged and

[20:50] thrown into the Lake of Fire and then

[20:54] God creates a new Heaven and a new Earth

[20:56] that's the end

[21:00] the end is also the a beginning with the

[21:02] new Heaven and new

[21:10] earth there

[21:14] were they tend

[21:16] people Scholars quote tend to think

[21:22] that the pre-trib Rapture and the

[21:25] premillennial Reign is something new

[21:28] that came about in the 18 and

[21:33] 1900s but if you look back in church

[21:36] history and look at the writings

[21:39] of the founding fathers of Church of

[21:43] Christian

[21:45] doctrine the ones that were followers of

[21:49] the

[21:52] disciples believed

[21:54] in what John wrote

[21:58] that there would be a Thousand-Year

[22:00] Reign and Christ would Reign on the

[22:02] earth for a thousand

[22:05] years people like papayas Justin Martyr

[22:08] and AR

[22:13] irus so in

[22:14] sumary all millennialist do not believe

[22:18] in the literal Millennial Kingdom on

[22:21] Earth and generally interpreted as being

[22:25] just a symbolic rule of a spiritual

[22:27] Kingdom

[22:30] and this has been the prevailing view in

[22:32] Christianity since the fifth

[22:36] century in the

[22:40] 1400s that's when basically the start of

[22:44] the Catholic

[22:46] church and they got away

[22:49] from this being the authority to the

[22:54] popes being the authority

[22:59] so they say it's a physical Rule and a a

[23:03] spiritual Rule and not a physical

[23:05] rule so in other words they ey the Bible

[23:08] they don't believe what God said he

[23:12] meant post

[23:14] Millennials basically believe

[23:17] that through the preaching of the Gospel

[23:20] the world's going to get better and then

[23:22] Christ will

[23:25] return and then premillennial believe

[23:28] Jesus will personally return to Earth

[23:31] establish his kingdom and literally

[23:34] Reign a thousand years over the

[23:47] Earth

[23:50] so we

[23:51] have the

[23:54] Millennium and then we have the

[23:57] tribulation

[24:00] what is

[24:02] tribulation the word tribulation means s

[24:06] severe

[24:07] Affliction distress of

[24:10] Life

[24:11] vexations to plague to torment to

[24:16] trouble in Scripture it often denotes

[24:19] the troubles and distresses which

[24:21] proceed from

[24:23] persecution so who in the tribulation

[24:26] gets persecuted

[24:32] who in the tribulation is in

[24:37] trouble what is the Tribulation also

[24:39] known

[24:44] as in the Book of

[24:51] Daniel chapter n

[25:06] look verse

[25:14] 24 Gabriel told Daniel 70 weeks are

[25:20] determined upon thy people and upon thy

[25:24] holy

[25:25] city so what people were was

[25:31] Daniel he was

[25:34] Israel and thy holy city was

[25:39] Jerusalem so the 70

[25:41] weeks have to deal with Israel and

[25:48] Jerusalem continuing to finish the

[25:52] transgression that's one thing that's

[25:54] for the 70 weeks is for and to make an

[25:57] end of

[25:59] and to make reconciliation for

[26:01] iniquity and to bring in Everlasting

[26:05] righteousness and to seal up the vision

[26:07] and pro prophecy and to anoint the most

[26:11] holy know therefore and understand that

[26:14] from the going forth of the Commandment

[26:17] to restore and to build Jerusalem unto

[26:21] Messiah the prince shall be seven weeks

[26:24] and three score and two

[26:26] weeks the street shall be built again

[26:29] and the wall even in troublous

[26:32] times and after the three score and two

[26:35] weeks shall Messiah be cut

[26:38] off but not for

[26:41] himself and the people of the prince

[26:45] that shall come shall

[26:48] destroy shall and the prince that shall

[26:51] come shall destroy the city and the

[26:54] sanctuary and the end thereof with a

[26:57] flood and until the end of the war

[27:00] desolations are

[27:01] determined and he shall confirm the

[27:03] Covenant with many for one week and in

[27:07] the midst of the week he shall cause the

[27:11] sacrifice and the oblation to

[27:14] cease and for overspreading of

[27:17] Abominations he shall make it desolate

[27:20] even until the

[27:22] consummation and that determined shall

[27:24] be poured upon the

[27:27] desolate so here 70 weeks are determined

[27:32] upon

[27:38] Israel and that from the going forth of

[27:41] the Commandment to

[27:42] restore and rebuild the Jerusalem

[27:45] rebuild Jerusalem unto the Messiah the

[27:48] prince shall be seven weeks and three

[27:50] score in two

[27:52] weeks so seven weeks and three score and

[27:56] two weeks three score

[27:59] so seven and 60 and two is 69

[28:04] weeks so from the time that the

[28:07] Commandment went forth to rebuild

[28:11] Jerusalem until the time Jesus died on

[28:13] the

[28:15] cross is

[28:18] 69 weeks or 69 periods of seven or

[28:24] 69 periods of seven years because a we

[28:28] seven days so in this case it'd be seven

[28:32] years so

[28:35] 483

[28:39] years some say that was the day Jesus

[28:43] rode in the triumphal entry on Sunday in

[28:47] Jerusalem and then three days later he

[28:51] was

[28:52] crucified so either way it's that's when

[28:55] it

[28:56] ended Jes is

[29:00] death the Messiah was cut

[29:05] off but he wasn't cut off for

[29:08] himself he wasn't cut off because of his

[29:13] sin he was cut off for our

[29:22] sin and then it's talking then it talks

[29:24] about there's a prince that shall come

[29:28] destroy the city and sanctuary and send

[29:31] a

[29:32] flood and that that Prince shall confirm

[29:35] a covenant for one

[29:37] week that one week is a period of seven

[29:42] years but what happened between the 69th

[29:45] week and the 70th

[29:51] week the Old Testament doesn't tell

[29:56] us but the newest shows us that there's

[29:59] a period of Grace in there between the

[30:03] two we haven't come to the 70th week

[30:09] yet when does it

[30:17] start says in verse in J

[30:21] 2927 he shall confirm the Covenant with

[30:24] many for one week

[30:28] the person we call the

[30:31] Antichrist will make a covenant between

[30:34] Israel and other

[30:36] nations for SE for a seven-year

[30:43] period and

[30:47] then so we don't know when they will

[30:50] have a temple and start

[30:54] sacrifices they are ready for that

[31:01] they've already got red heers in

[31:04] Israel and all they got to do is offer

[31:07] it as a sacrifice and take the ashes and

[31:10] consecrate all the utensils that they've

[31:13] already

[31:14] got and some people say they've already

[31:17] got the Arc of the

[31:19] Covenant so all they need to do is build

[31:22] a temple build a sanctuary

[31:30] so that when the Antichrist signs that

[31:32] Covenant with them he may allow him to

[31:34] build it and they've got everything

[31:40] ready

[31:41] so the tribulation doesn't start

[31:46] until he signs the Covenant

[32:05] one commentator said that there are two

[32:07] main purposes to be accomplished in the

[32:09] 70th

[32:12] week he said Revelation 3:10

[32:32] because thou has kept the word of my

[32:35] patience I will also keep thee from the

[32:38] hour of Temptation which shall come upon

[32:41] all the world to try them that dwell in

[32:44] the

[32:48] earth he said first of all we see that

[32:51] this period has in view them that dwell

[32:54] on the Earth

[32:58] doesn't necessarily say the

[33:01] church it says them that dwell upon the

[33:05] Earth and then it

[33:11] says that when we look look at chapter 4

[33:15] verse one it says after this I looked

[33:17] and behold a door was opened in heaven

[33:21] and the first voice which I heard as it

[33:23] were of a trumpet talking with me which

[33:26] said come up hither and I will show the

[33:29] things which must be

[33:32] Hereafter after this

[33:35] point John hears a

[33:37] trumpet and was taken up to

[33:41] heaven and there's no mention of the

[33:43] church

[33:49] again the second major purpose of the

[33:52] 70th week is in relation to

[33:56] Israel God God will send Elijah the

[33:59] prophet before the coming day of the

[34:01] Lord in order to prepare a Remnant in

[34:04] Israel for the Advent of the

[34:07] Lord it is evident that no such Ministry

[34:10] is needed by the church since she is by

[34:14] nature without

[34:16] spot but is Holy and without blemish in

[34:19] Ephesians chapter

[34:25] 5 so we have this seven-year

[34:31] period and in Jeremiah chapter 30

[35:01] Jeremiah chapter 30 starting in verse

[35:02] one it says the word that came to

[35:05] Jeremiah from the Lord saying thus

[35:08] speaketh the Lord God of Israel saying

[35:11] write these write thee all the words

[35:15] that I have spoken unto thee in a

[35:18] book for Lo the days come sayeth the

[35:21] Lord that I will bring again the

[35:24] Captivity of My People Israel and Judah

[35:27] say the Lord and I will cause them to

[35:29] return to the land that I gave their

[35:32] fathers and they shall possess

[35:39] it so what happened in 1947 and

[35:47] 1948 Israel became a

[35:54] nation they

[35:58] basically a nation came back from the

[36:03] dead there's no nation of Babylon

[36:06] there's no nation of

[36:08] Assyria there's no there's not even a

[36:11] nation of

[36:13] Persia now there's a nation called Iran

[36:16] that is in the place where Persia was

[36:19] and there's a country called Greece that

[36:21] was in the area of the that was Persia

[36:24] that was Greece

[36:27] but there's there's not even a Roman

[36:29] Empire

[36:36] anymore what happened to the other great

[36:39] kingdoms of the

[36:45] world Israel was basically wiped off the

[36:49] map after

[36:53] 870 not a nation they were scattered

[36:56] across the world

[37:00] world but what has God been

[37:03] doing he's been drawing them back to the

[37:07] land of Israel there in the Middle

[37:11] East and it's called

[37:17] Israel

[37:19] and they've had numerous

[37:23] Wars but God has delivered the nation of

[37:26] Israel in every one of their

[37:29] Wars and in

[37:34] 1967 the Israelis be got control of

[37:42] Jerusalem and then 50 years

[37:45] later president Trump declared that

[37:48] Jerusalem was the capital of Israel and

[37:51] move the embassy there

[37:57] the Jews God's bringing the Jews back to

[38:01] the land of

[38:06] Israel and then continuing verse four it

[38:08] says and

[38:10] these These are the words that the Lord

[38:13] spake concerning Israel and concerning

[38:15] Judah for thus sayith the Lord we have

[38:19] heard a voice of trembling of fear and

[38:21] not a

[38:22] peace asking now and see whether a man

[38:25] does travail a child for wherefore do I

[38:28] see every man with his hand on his loin

[38:32] as a woman intervail and all the faces

[38:34] are turned to

[38:36] pness Alas for that great

[38:39] day so that none is like it even the

[38:43] time of Jacob's trouble but he shall be

[38:47] saved out of

[38:48] it who was

[38:55] Jacob Abraham

[38:58] grandson Isaac's son from whom all the

[39:01] tribes of Israel

[39:03] came so this is calling of the great day

[39:09] the tribulation

[39:11] period is time of Jacob's

[39:15] trouble all the world's going to come

[39:17] against

[39:20] Israel but God says he shall be saved

[39:23] out of

[39:25] it God's going to

[39:29] Israel right now they're gathered in

[39:34] unbelief but in the in the

[39:37] tribulation there's 144,000 Jews that

[39:42] get

[39:43] saved and go around everywhere

[39:47] preaching about

[39:54] Jesus so it's the time of Jacob's

[39:56] trouble

[40:03] and he's bringing he brought the people

[40:06] back he brought Israel back to the land

[40:08] of their

[40:10] forefathers back to the land that was

[40:13] promised to Abraham Isaac and

[40:21] Jacob and at the end of this time of

[40:25] trouble he says he will SA them he will

[40:29] come and deliver

[40:35] them so

[40:39] in back in

[40:42] Daniel it says that it was the purpose

[40:45] was

[40:47] to finish the

[40:50] transgression the verb finish looks to

[40:53] bring something to its culmination

[40:57] it has the idea to close to shut to

[41:00] restrain here it has the idea of firmly

[41:03] restraining the

[41:04] transgression restraining

[41:10] sin the noun transgression in Hebrews

[41:13] derived from the verbal root of the

[41:15] basic meaning of Rebel

[41:18] revolt and

[41:22] transgress from the definitions given we

[41:25] may be certain

[41:27] that it emphasizes the idea of a

[41:30] rebellion against God and Disobedience

[41:32] to his

[41:34] will so Gabriel says that the purpose of

[41:38] this of the 70 weeks or the 490

[41:44] years is to take care of Israel's

[41:51] transgression take care of their

[41:52] rebelling against obeying God's word

[42:01] then it was to make an end of

[42:12] sin idea of bringing to

[42:18] conclusion concluding Israel's sin

[42:30] the Hebrew word pan is the most common

[42:33] used word pan in Hebrew Old Testament

[42:37] its core meaning is to miss the

[42:40] mark this is Illustrated in judges 20

[42:44] where it says out of all these

[42:46] people each one could sling a stone at a

[42:49] hair and not

[42:51] miss this word itself conveys the basic

[42:55] meaning to

[42:58] that to miss to be

[43:02] mistaken and Daniel uses this word

[43:08] twice Daniel speaks of my sin and the

[43:11] sin of My People Israel since this

[43:14] Hebrew word does not have a definite

[43:16] article as did

[43:18] transgression in the previous

[43:21] phase and since sin is plural it seems

[43:24] to refer to sins in general of

[43:29] the sealing up of sins consequently

[43:31] signifies the restraint under safe

[43:34] custody since the cause of sin must be

[43:37] removed before the Cure can be affected

[43:40] this expression assumes that at the time

[43:43] here foreing the nation will have turned

[43:46] to the Lord and that by his Spirit a new

[43:50] heart new spirit will be given to all

[43:52] the

[43:53] people so it comes to the end of

[43:58] the 70

[43:59] weeks and we've had 69 of them now we're

[44:05] waiting for the

[44:06] 70th and at the end of the

[44:09] 70th the nation turns to

[44:17] Jesus the third thing in Daniel was to

[44:20] make an atonement for

[44:23] iniquity to make atonement for iniquity

[44:26] is the translation of two Hebrew

[44:31] words taking the second one iniquity

[44:33] first we see that it is the most common

[44:36] Hebrew word for

[44:38] sin it has the idea of twisting or

[44:41] defacing something be Beyond its

[44:43] intended

[44:46] purpose thus speaking of sinful act this

[44:49] word at the same time looks to the face

[44:53] that the reason why one commits iniquity

[44:56] is perverted sin nature inherited from

[45:00] Adam's

[45:01] fall according to the Oxford English

[45:04] Dictionary iniquity means the quality of

[45:08] being

[45:09] unrighteous or more often unrighteous

[45:12] action or

[45:16] conduct it paints a picture of the worst

[45:19] kind of offense before

[45:21] God such an offense requires a heroic

[45:24] response from God such a provision is

[45:27] taught in the verb to make

[45:30] atonement many are familiar with the

[45:32] word atone since it has a prominent

[45:35] place in Israel's Old Testament

[45:37] sacrificial

[45:39] system it's used in Genesis 7:14 as both

[45:43] noun and verb and carries the idea of

[45:46] covering the wood of Noah's Ark with

[45:49] pitch when applied theologically to

[45:52] Salvation it communicates the

[45:55] ACT function to cleanse wipe away and

[45:58] purify objects contaminated by sin or

[46:05] uncleanness

[46:10] so it's the whole 70 year 70 weeks the

[46:16] whole 490 years was to make atonement

[46:20] for Israel's

[46:24] sin and Jesus did that that

[46:31] at 69

[46:34] weeks but there's still the 70th week

[46:38] there's still that seven-year period

[46:48] left so since the seven-year period

[46:52] that's left

[46:57] deals with the

[47:00] Jews with

[47:02] Israel the nation of

[47:06] Israel where does that put the

[47:11] church some people think

[47:14] that the church replaced

[47:20] Israel but it didn't say that 69 weeks

[47:23] was determined upon Daniel's people

[47:28] and upon Jerusalem it said

[47:33] 70 so there was 69 there's still one

[47:37] seven-year period

[47:39] left that deals with Daniel's

[47:47] people so what is the

[47:55] rapture that word doesn't occur in our

[47:59] Bible but the the idea of it is

[48:04] there comes from a Latin

[48:08] word from which it is transliterated

[48:11] means the letters are taken from the

[48:14] Latin and transposed into English so we

[48:18] get the word rapture from

[48:20] Rapture in

[48:22] Latin means to carry off to transport or

[48:26] snatch away

[48:33] way the word in the Greek is

[48:37] harpazo which means to be caught

[48:42] up to Sease to carry off by

[48:46] force so the Rapture of the church is

[48:51] the idea that God comes Jesus comes and

[48:54] grab takes us and takes us

[48:58] away what are we being taken away

[49:02] from Daniel 70th week that deals with

[49:08] Jacob's

[49:13] troubles but there are many views of the

[49:19] Rapture one is a partial

[49:23] Rapture that says that

[49:27] Jesus comes and

[49:29] takes some of these

[49:32] Christians but these other Christians

[49:34] still have have to go through the

[49:36] tribulation but then he takes some of

[49:39] these and these others still have to go

[49:41] through the rest of the tribulation and

[49:44] then he comes and takes some of these

[49:46] and the others have to go through the

[49:47] rest of the tribulation then he comes at

[49:49] the end of the tribulation and takes

[49:51] them and then they come back to rain for

[49:53] a thousand years

[49:58] there again you're putting the

[50:01] church into the time of Jacob's trouble

[50:05] the time that God's dealing with Israel

[50:07] not the

[50:10] church so a partial

[50:15] Rapture isn't very

[50:20] likely so how how do you know which how

[50:24] do you know which Christians are going

[50:25] to go

[50:28] they

[50:30] don't then there's a midrib Rapture

[50:33] which is really popular right

[50:37] now that the Rapture is not going to

[50:40] occur at this before the tribulation

[50:44] starts it says the Rapture occurs in the

[50:47] middle of the tribulation

[51:01] why is it in the

[51:04] middle why is it right at three and a

[51:06] half

[51:16] years

[51:19] the

[51:24] they they think of themselves this

[51:27] pre Millennial

[51:30] pre-trib because they consider the first

[51:34] half of the

[51:35] tribulation as man's wrath and the

[51:38] second half of the tribulation as God's

[51:41] Wrath but the whole

[51:44] tribulation the whole seven-year period

[51:47] is still God's Wrath poured out on the

[51:50] nation because Jesus is the one that

[51:53] opens the first steel seal that start

[51:57] the

[52:07] judgments then there's one really

[52:10] similar to

[52:11] the

[52:12] midrib and that's the pre wrath and they

[52:17] they say Christians have to go

[52:20] through the tribulation the first three

[52:22] and a half years and then a little more

[52:24] until God pours out the vial

[52:32] but then

[52:35] again where's the idea of

[52:40] Christians being a part of Daniel's

[52:52] people and then there's the pre-trib

[52:55] rapture

[52:58] that says Jesus comes

[53:04] before the time of Jacob's

[53:11] trouble the

[53:13] church has had their sins

[53:19] forgiven and in Revelation it says that

[53:22] they're saved from the Wrath to come

[53:29] so

[53:30] God takes the Christians out because

[53:33] they don't have to go through God's

[53:36] judgment they don't have to go through

[53:38] God's Wrath they've been saved from

[53:41] God's

[53:50] Wrath

[53:54] so we believe that Christians don't have

[53:57] won't have to go

[53:59] through the

[54:01] tribulation at the start of the

[54:08] tribulation although there could be a

[54:10] little period between the Rapture and

[54:12] the start of the

[54:15] tribulation because the tribulation

[54:17] doesn't actually start until the

[54:18] Antichrist signs the

[54:20] Covenant so we don't know if there's a

[54:22] how long a period there could be could

[54:25] be one day

[54:27] because the world's going to be in such

[54:29] chaos that the Antichrist Satan will

[54:33] want to make it look like there's peace

[54:35] on

[54:37] Earth but whatever that time period

[54:44] is the Covenant is

[54:49] signed

[54:51] and God's judgments poured out upon the

[54:54] world

[54:56] well our payment for

[55:00] sin was poured out on Jesus on the

[55:07] cross so the church doesn't have to go

[55:11] through God's

[55:15] judgment and they say

[55:20] that pre-trib Rapture

[55:23] idea is new starting in the 1800

[55:29] unds but then again if you look at

[55:33] church history and look at the writings

[55:36] of

[55:37] the

[55:44] people Ephraim the Syrian said for the

[55:48] elect shall be gathered prior to the

[55:52] tribulation so that they shall not see

[55:54] the confusion and the great tribulation

[55:57] coming upon the unrighteous

[56:02] world

[56:05] irus who was taught by

[56:07] polycarp who was taught by John the

[56:11] Apostle said and therefore in the end

[56:14] when the church is suddenly caught up

[56:16] from this it is said there shall be

[56:19] tribulation such has not been since the

[56:22] beginning neither shall be for this is

[56:25] the last cont test of the righteous in

[56:28] which when they overcome they are

[56:30] crowned with

[56:32] incorruption so there's just two

[56:34] examples of the early church

[56:40] fathers and arus was only was the third

[56:44] generation he had Apostle

[56:46] John polycarp and then

[56:52] araus and they believed in a the church

[56:55] being caught up before the

[57:00] tribulation so it's not a new doctrine

[57:03] that PE that the other views want to

[57:05] make it out to

[57:07] be and just

[57:10] like we don't agree with a lot of things

[57:12] Martin Luther did

[57:14] but in the 1500s he came out with the

[57:18] just shall be saved by faith it's not

[57:21] works that saves us it's our faith in

[57:24] Jesus that saves us

[57:27] so that's a new doctrine because the

[57:30] church had forgotten

[57:33] it so you can't

[57:35] call that getting saved by faith is a

[57:38] new doctrine you can't call a pre-

[57:42] Rapture view a new doctrine because it

[57:45] was believed before by the early church

[57:50] fathers so the question

[57:53] is will you miss the will you go through

[57:57] the

[58:00] tribulation if you've been saved you

[58:03] won't have to if you've trusted

[58:06] Jesus but if you haven't then you're G

[58:09] to be left behind and go through

[58:14] that and

[58:16] then that period of time approximately

[58:20] half of the world's population is going

[58:22] to be killed

[58:27] and they they those that don't believe

[58:29] in a pre-read Rapture say that it's

[58:33] God's Wrath in the second half and it's

[58:35] man's wrath in the first half but God

[58:38] uses man to do

[58:40] things just like he used an evil

[58:43] Nebuchadnezzar to punish

[58:46] Israel and then he used another Pagan

[58:50] King to let Israel go back to the land

[58:53] of Israel

[58:56] so God uses people and God uses good

[59:00] people and he uses bad people to

[59:02] accomplish his

[59:07] will so remember the church doesn't have

[59:11] to go through God's

[59:14] Wrath we've been saved from

[59:18] wrath so that's why we believe

[59:21] premillennial and

[59:24] pre-trip that the raptures before the

[59:29] tribulation and the tribulation is the

[59:31] time of dealing with Jacob and Daniel's

[59:36] people not the

[59:40] church God didn't replace Israel with

[59:42] the

[59:43] church that's even more evident since

[59:45] Israel has come back from the dead and

[59:48] their Hebrew has come back from the dead

[59:51] to be of a living language again and the

[59:54] people are in Israel

[59:57] and God says when they come back they're

[60:00] not going to

[60:01] be exiled again they're not going to be

[60:03] tossed away from the land again and he's

[60:06] coming back after the tribulation and

[60:10] put his feet on the Mount of Olives and

[60:13] he's going to set up his throne in isra

[60:16] in

[60:17] Jerusalem and will reign for a thousand

[60:22] years so are you going to be there

[60:28] only if you're

[60:34] saved you want to take prayer request

[61:07] of course we need to continue to pray

[61:11] for for this case you know with all that
