So looking forward to speaking with you

end of the age, not world. End of the old covenant age,

But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Ecc. 1:4 ... "The earth abides forever." Ps. 89:36-37 ... "It is established forever like the moon, even like the faithful witness in the sky - the sun." (Both sun and moon are eternally established as faithful witnesses in the sky). Ps. 148:4-6 ... "He also established them forever and ever; He made a decree which shall not pass away." Ps. 78:69 ... "the earth which He has established forever." Ps. 119:90 ... "You established the earth, and it abides [stands firm, remains, endures]. chalettesmith.blogspot.com/2023/02/heaven-earth.html

Church of Philadelphia in revelation

Older scholars placed its writing before AD 70, not in the 90s. Internal evidence suggests before AD 70, eg: the temple is still present and standing. Also, the Jews were said to persecute the church. But the Jews were in no position to persecute anyone after AD 70.

It's not the end of the world. It's the end of the age. That is the Jewish age, which ended when the temple and its sacrifices ended.

To claim that any of the main eschatological beliefs is a “false theology” in and of itself is false. I’m pretrib and come to this position simply as a result of a literal interpretation whereas the post-trib interpretation must move away from the irreconcilable conflicts of the literal interpretations and make several passages figurative instead. However these are not “false theologies” but are well meaning interpretations from well meaning people. I will say that I have been surprised at the intensity of many post trib people in their accusations and incorrect claims that the pretrib belief is a modern concept as it is clear in Paul’s time and afterwards that the early early church was pretrib. Might be a good idea to do research and come to your own conclusion since in the end when we’re all in Heaven no one will say “I told you so” and the post tribbers will not be disappointed.

I watch a lot of Don and I have to say I liked this content the most Ty

I'm a Full Preterist (for 23 years) and I reject Max King's Covenant Eschatology CBV (corporate body view) Full Preterism. Both Don Preston and William Bell (and others) promote Max King's CE CBV framework. I'm an IBV (individual body view) Full Preterist. Don Preston rejects the ONE and ONLY physical blood and physical body sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Don Preston teaches that his false Christ died a spiritual separation death that allegedly paid the price BEFORE a physical death on the cross. Don (out from Max King) falsely interprets "the body of the Resurrection" in 1 Corinthians 15 as "a corporate body of Old Covenant Israel" going through "a 40 year resurrecting process" and then being "raised" in AD 70 as "a corporate body of New Covenant Christ" or "the Church." Covenant Eschatology CBV Full Preterism does NOT believe that INDIVIDUALS received their very own personal immortal incorruptible heavenly glorified spiritual body at the General Resurrection in AD 70, or when a person physically dies today (which "individual body view" is what Paul is really teaching in 1 Corinthians 15.) They have no answer for what happens to somebody today when they die, because they use "body" language in 1 Corinthians 15 (and elsewhere) for their corporate body view framework. They redefine death to be "spiritual separation death." They remove a person's physical flesh body from their definition of death. These guys are deceivers! They are in the Gnostic camp! They stick with the basics of Full Preterism (with enthusiasm and slick rhetoric), and they hide their heretical framework (where they deny the ONE and ONLY physical sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.)

Thanks Dale, a well done production and stimulating content. I am a full preterist and agree with Don KP about the New Heavens and New Earth. I have also gleaned much from Beyond Creation Science a book by Tim Martin and Jeff Vaughn over at Covenant Creation You Tube channel. The book is free and downloadable from their site. The book makes a case challenging Young Earth Creationists and saying rather that Genesis from the very first verse is about a Covenant with God and not a science text about the physical creation of the universe. Some interpret the beginning opening of Genesis to say - ...when God began to create the Heavens and the Earth..... Of course we know from scripture that the NHNE is about the covenant people of God and their Temple (Garden of Eden being Temple through to the book of Revelation and the Garden at the end where The Father and the Son are the Temple where God is worshipped in Spirit and Truth.). So, perhaps a foray into Beyond Creation Science?? and also G. K. Beale's book about Genesis and the Temple.. Love br. David - Canada.

Very good informed wording, thanks

Your view is so narrow and without understanding why God had to rid the earth of the genetically corrupted population. You make assumptions based in ignorance

Great stuff. As a Catholic amillennialist I agree with most of what was said. I think the stuff about masks and social distancing probably ages poorly. But good stuff on the explanation of eschatology !

Thank you for such a rich content brother, but the second coming of jesus is real ‭2 Peter 3:10 NIV‬ [10] But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. ‭2 Peter 3:13 NIV‬ [13] But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells. ‭2 Thessalonians 1:6-7 NIV‬ [6] God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you [7] and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. Again read the whole chapter 15 of 1 Corinthians [19] If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. His second coming is real, as christians that is our living and precious hope ‭that the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. ‭For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?

PRETERISTS take away from the words of the book of prophecy. Revelation 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Covid fascism at the end ruined this

truth! I just subscribed to your channel. Isaiah 51:16 "And I have put My words in your mouth; I have covered you with the shadow of My hand, That I may [a]plant the heavens, Lay the foundations of the earth, And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”"

He was doing very good and convincing until he started on the pandemic..😷 🤦🏻‍♂️…he probably got the vaccine and all the boosters with it.

Amen brother

the answer be with lack of decernment from both of these men now let's get back to truth that comes about from decernment.

Translate ἁρπαγησόμεθα ἐν νεφέλαις . Then tell us what it means.

Hi Dale, very interesting video. I thouroughly enjoyed it! Be encouraged, you have brought too life some really important ideas. Although, I must admit, Im still hoping for a new future new order. 😉

Faith, Hope, Trust and Belief in Abba father alone and receive his own Holy Spirit in Jesus name. Abba father good news

No faith. Then: No salvation. No healing. No Rapture. No kidding.

Close up the Book Daniel until the end days..... The rapture was to be revealed in the end days, as other end day revelations.

Excellent explanation by Dr. Witherington. Thank you!

Where were the Bible scholars when Jesus' birth and life? How badly did they get it wrong. Even His disciples got it wrong. So, the honest truth, none of us know exactly how end will be.

the so call rapture doctrine teachers ...mostly turn off the comments on their post ...they don't like the fact that the Word of God rebukes them

in John capture 6 verse 44 Jesus our Lord states that "I WILL RAISE HIM UP ON THE LAST DAY" scripture interprets scripture ..so therefore when Paul states in 1Thessalonians capture 4 verse 16 "the dead in Christ will be raised from the dead" it is on the LAST DAY ...there is no days after the last day ...stop believing these false "rapture doctrine" teachers the word "rapture" does not appear in the whole of the bible ...that should give you a clue?..

Being a former futurist, I've tried to point out much of this to my dispensationalist family, but they STILL refuse to accept it. They seem to relish the idea of the end of time sci-fi horror scenario, with all the bad guys going to hell and of course they get raptured out of here. They live in dread, delusions of persecution etc. I remember studying out Dons arguments every morning for 6 months, and coming out of the dispensationalist view into the light of truth was like emerging from a dark cave into the light! The kingdom is here, there is no end of time, and it takes honesty to change and go against the dominant narrative. But how much better! THIS IS THE GOOD NEWS!!

With the exception of the state of modern Israel being (in some way a fulfillment of prophecy) I agree with what he says. I lean more to Post.millenialism mission but accept premil. Revelation.

Christianity ended in 70ad what followed were man.made religions. Mr preston should not be wasting time doing things like this video. He was a minister for decades teaching lies to thousands. He should be spending every minute god gives him tracking down those he harmed by teaching an evil lie. Its the only recourse open to him . Dying in a lie is a terrible thing you cannot repent or pray or recite a mantra to expunge lies

YES IT IS VERY FALSE!!! Let Jesus answer the question of when he will return, Jesus says this...Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and 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. THEY SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING....WHEN?...answer--- >Immediately after the tribulation of those days Jesus said He comes Immediately after the tribulation of those days. What days? The tribulation days He Jesus also gathers the saints Immediately after the tribulation of those days.... Mat 24:31 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. What Jesus is saying in Matthew 24:29-31 is the same time frame of what is read in 1 Thessalonians chapter 4:13-17...1Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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: The above scripture also happens Immediately after the tribulation of those days Jesus does not come again until AFTER tribulations is over!!!!! The saints are only gathered AFTER tribulations is over. Here is the scripture that lets us all know how many times Christ comes and goes. Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. It said Jesus will appear a second time unto salvation!!!!! Jesus said the Tribulation period will be like it was during the time of Noah. Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Jesus did not take Noah to heaven to protect him from the flood. God made a way to save Noah and his family right here on earth, and that is the same thing He is going to do to protect saints from the great tribulation period. Hear the words of the Lord.... Psalms 91:1-11 Psa 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psa 91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Psa 91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. Psa 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Psa 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Psa 91:6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. Psa 91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Psa 91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Psa 91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; Psa 91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. Psa 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Conclusion The bible shows that Jesus only come two times in scripture. The first coming was to die for the sins of the world. Then the bible shows that Jesus is coming back one more time to reign on the earth for a thousand years. There is no third coming of Jesus. All those thinking God will come and take them off the earth before tribulations would be saying Jesus comes three times and not just two. There is no scripture that shows Jesus comes to die for the sins of the word then goes to sit on the right hand of the father in haven, then return a second time to take the saints to heave to hide them from great tribulations, and then finally return a third time after tribulations and reign for a thousand years. Its only two comings of the Jesus. Then he reigns for a thousand years and then he relinquish rule unto the FATHER forever. Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Peace in the name of Yahusha/Jesus

The crown point is very interesting thanks for that

Who told you that he's dressed in white there is no description of what any garments for any of the riders. In fact the only similarity is the colour of the horse and a crown which was a singular one. It is very unlikely Jesus.

Nobody talks about the second coming of Christ, just this man made false doctrine of the rapture.

NO READ YOUR BIBLE..It s there. "We will be caught up"

Used to listen to this guy occasionally, NOT anymore, pretty simple to follow in scripture that evil cannot come to its full fruition unless the holy spirit is taken out of the way, Holy Spirit leaves with the church in the pre-trib rapture. Then all hell breaks loose....

The main narrative of Revelation 20 is not what most people think. Revelation 20 is a continuation of ch. 19, where after the defeat of the harlot, is next the defeat of the beast and false prophet. Both are thrown into the lake of fire. In ch. 20 you have the defeat of the fourth enemy of Christ mentioned in the book, Satan himself. A thousand years separates his defeat from the defeat of the harlot, beast, and false prophet. Then, at Christ's coming, Satan is destroyed and cast into the same lake of fire that the beast and false prophet were cast. As far as any reign goes, Rev. 20:4-6 is about the reign of the martyred souls. These souls (not bodies) are those who participate in the first resurrection. There is only one bodily resurrection mentioned, and that occurs at the final coming of Christ, and happens to all humanity.

John 5:28-29 (also John 11:24) proves that there is a misunderstanding in thinking that 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 is something different. Both of these passages describe the same event. Paul is comforting the Thessalonian Christians who were worried about their deceased love ones missing out on the resurrection, so Paul explains that their assumptions are unfounded and that their relatives will be included in the resurrection of the just. There was not a need at this time to bring up the unjust since they were not relevant to the particular discussion.

This guy is a heretic on steroids!!! Matt. 24:30 has nothing to do with a 2nd coming in the 1st century!!!! And judgement day!!!!! Hasn't happened yet. At least not universally!!!! Of course the Jews in 1st century Jerusalem got hammered from the 7 woe oracles in Matt.23. Not the end of the time, space universe but simply the end of the old covenant sacrificial system!!!!

Pre-Trib Rapture Christ is VERY CLEAR on this subject. PERIOD! Matthew 24:29 “But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 31 And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. (NASB95) Mark 13:24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, 25 and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. 26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven. (NASB95) Those who teach a pre-Trib “rapture” are sons of Gehenna… they are AGAINST CHRIST! This is why… That one false teaching will be the catalyst for the Great Apostasy! When “Christians” witness the undeniable signs of the Tribulation and realize they were not “beamed up” to Heaven, they will lose faith! They will be rocked to their foundations and question: “I’m a believer. Why wasn’t I good enough?” Likewise, these are the same false teachers who twist Paul’s epistles to suit their agenda. What both say is true, but the timeline is different for the latter. Most people don’t realize that there are three resurrections in the future: * Enoch and Elijah, the two witnesses of Revelation, after they are killed by Leviathan (the beast of the sea/abyss) in the streets of Jerusalem where their dead bodies will lie for three Biblical yomim (“evenings” and “mornings” per Genesis 1) towards the conclusion of the Tribulation. * Those beheaded for Christ DURING the Tribulation. They will serve as priests of the order of Melchizedek (Heb. Malki-tsedeq) during His Millennial Reign (and beyond!) on Earth immediately after the Second Coming. Also, the righteous elect who endure/survive the Tribulation. This is what Paul is referencing in 1 Thessalonians 4 et al. Note: They aren’t taken up into Heaven but to Jerusalem. Christ abdicates His Throne as the Prince of Peace in Heaven to serve as the King of kings and Lord of lords on Earth and the New Earth to come! Re-read Revelation 21:1-22:5. Our ultimate destination is NEW EARTH! Heaven and the New Heaven to come is the domain of the Elohim. When we die, our souls go DOWN to Heb. She’ol/Gr. Hades to await resurrection. * The righteous elect from Abel forward as well as the elect living on Judgment Day on Yom Kippur near the conclusion of the fourth age in 7000 A.M. ALL modern churches and synagogues are chock full of false traditions (embellishments not in Scripture), precepts of men (manufactured theology), and doctrines of demons (assimilated paganism) as was prophesied! Those in pulpits “tickle the ears” of their congregations by telling them what they want to hear. The true church was called The Way (Gr. tēn Hodon/Heb. HaDerech) as is mentioned throughout Acts as well as the Dead Sea Scrolls. Enoch and Elijah, the two witnesses of Revelation, will re-establish The Way during the Tribulation in preparation for Christ’s Second Coming. #QuestionEverything

It's about the war culminating in 70AD. The guest here completely IGNORES ALL time-context that was given in Scripture.

2 Thessalonians 2 shows us the sequence. The "early church fathers" were oblivious to this. see Daniel 12:4

Brilliant work. These 7 minute snapshots are wonderful. I work with guys on recovery from addiction and these informative insights are an excellent contribution to addressing some of the genuine questions that people have about following Christ.

You don't seem to understand. Even if a person is good in his/her heart and mind, they're considered evil because they know not the word of God. Not believing or worshipping God is considered evil no matter how good of a heart you have. ---------- A bad God believing person can go to heaven, but a good hearted atheist won't be saved. Imagine a bad person who always listens to his parents, he will likely inherit his parents wealth: however, a good hearted person who doesn't listen to this parents, by chance will not inherit his/her parents wealth. ---------- the author knows what he's saying. He's not obligated to explain how he knows. The Bible wasn't created or designed to answer to unbelievers specifically, because then it wouldn't have much respect and inspiration and couldn't be considered a Holy Book. The Plagues of Egypt occurred because of unbelievers. Miracles of Jesus occurred because of unbelievers.

There are more than enough biblical cross references to validate the Gen 6:5 account of Noah. I am sorry for this man in that he has fallen to deception & false teachings. Pray for him, he is choosing blasphemy.

The author of the Bible is God, and God knows everything. God authored the Bible BEFORE He created us and He breathed His Word by His Holy Spirit to men He chose to speak to us through called prophets, to write it down for us. Jesus Christ IS THE HOLY BIBLE, HE IS THE BIBLE COME TO LIFE IN THE FLESH, HE IS THE BIBLE INCARNATE. All of the Holy Bible is true and unaltered by man, and God had His Word translated into all languages so that all of us have the ability to read His Word for ourselves, to know God personally and to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, by repenting of our sins and believing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Bible and accepting Jesus as our Savior by believing Jesus was God on earth Who died to pay for our sins for and resurrected from the dead to defeat eternal death for us and believe Jesus is coming back again to set up His eternal kingdom.

Your not suppose to read the Bible as absolute truth. Jesus rose on the third day ? It may be an analogy that his message rose after his crucifixion. Does it really matter ? Anyone throwing criticism is demonic.
