One thing I notice is that today we are like in the days of Noah. In the days of Noah, God commanded him to build an ark so that he could escape and be safe from the judgments of God. While Noah was building his ark he warned for about 120 years calling people to repentance. He also invited them to board the ark to be safe from the judgment of the flood. But they made fun of Noah and rejected him. Today we are seeing the same thing. There are many pastors servants of God preaching about Jesus and the rapture. Our escape from the judgments of the great tribulation. Unfortunately, people continue to mock the rapture. The saddest thing is that many of those ridicules and criticisms come from inside the church, with the topic of the rapture. There are those who reject the rapture and scoff at it as a "darby invention." ( post and mid tribbers) We preach the truth, warn about the coming judgements but they prefer to go through the the Wrath of God in the Great Tribulation. The worst in the history of mankind. Just like it happened in the Days of Noah. The devil knows how to deceive people.

Thanks Angelo, good thoughts

Loved the message! You are my favorite pastor. Is that carnal? 🙂I really appreciate all your replies! You practice what you preach. Was Darby the first to cite 1 Thes 4:13-18 as the pre-trib rapture after the bible was given chapter and verse numbers?

[@RobertFurrow]

Thanks OneTakenDotNet, that is very encouraging I would need to look into when the verses were added I can't remember ;-/ let me look it up and get back to you.

[@TurningAPropheticCorner]

Thoroughly enjoyed and appreciate this! I'm going to try and be at your church this Sunday. Also, do you also believe that 2 Thessalonians 2:7 is a Rapture passage? What are your thoughts? Thank you and God bless you Pastor!

[@RobertFurrow]

Thank you Keith, yes I believe it is talking about the rapture

[@karenturner8322]

I have a question.. we have been told by Jesus to watch for His return.. what if a self professed Christian is not watching and really doesn’t want Jesus to come back in their lifetime because their heart is in this world.. if they are truly saved will they be left behind and not taken in the rapture or is this an indicator they really are not truly saved?

[@RobertFurrow]

Thanks Karen, I only God can see the heart if is is really saved he goes. If not......

[@newjar1997JT]

It depends on the doctrine....Major or Minor. 2nd John even says, "2nd Jo 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 2nd Jo 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. We don't consider those brethren who do not have their major doctines right. Minor doctrines, different story.

Amen. Jesus said, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF, that WHERE I AM, THERE YOU MAY BE ALSO." And you know the way where I am going.” - John 14:1-4 Where is the Father's house? Heaven Where was Jesus going? Heaven Where is Jesus? Heaven He said, "I will come again and RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF, that WHERE I AM, THERE YOU MAY BE ALSO." Jesus is currently in Heaven, preparing a place for us (His Bride, The Church made up of Christians and Messianic Jews) in the Father's house in Heaven, and will come again and gather us and bring us back to the place that He is preparing for us in Heaven. - This is the Rapture. The destination for the Bride of Christ immediately after the Rapture is HEAVEN, then we return with Christ as His Wife (Revelation 19:1-16).

Dear Pastor Robert, How could the Thessalonians NOT have had the experience Paul was encouraging them with if Paul was telling THEM it WOULD happen to them? It had to have happened to them then or Paul (The Holy Spirit) lied to them. Same with the Corinthians. It reads like an experience unique to that era. Paul calls it a mystery to both groups? Is this an end of times doctrine of man. It’s never been taught until 200+ yrs ago? It just doesn’t add up.

[@RobertFurrow]

Thanks Grateful, I talk about this in this video, and give examples of those in church history who taught this a long time before 200 years ago. it is one of those cases where on person said it and it caught on an it not true. Stop spreading the lies! ;-)

[@ServingrKingofGlory]

@@RobertFurrow I just asked. I never heard about the girl b4 you mentioned it. That is curious indeed. She died pretty young! I was mainly wondering if you believe the Thessalonians experienced it back then. No one addresses that. Darby taught it was future regardless of where his idea came from. He doesn’t address the Thessalonians and no one else does either. When I read that passage Paul is telling the Thessalonians that some of them would not die. But be transformed in the twinkling of an eye, which makes me believe they were. I can’t read it any other way. That is what doesn’t add up. It did happen for sure because the Word does not return to God void. It fulfills that which he sent it out to accomplish, in this case He gave a promise to the Thessalonians. Therefore they experienced it for sure. God certainly can do it again. It’s a mysterious work of God. Have to wait and see where I end up. But if I’m left behind I’m gonna preach what the Angels will be flying around proclaiming Rev 14:7 “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.” in verse 6 that message is called “the eternal gospel” Fear God. Worship Jesus. He made the heavens and the earth! It’s a good message for today too.

Amen. There are at least three separate and distinct eschatological gatherings. The first is the regathering in unbelief of the nation of Israel back to their homeland before the Tribulation. - Zephaniah 2:1-2; Ezekiel 20:33-38; 22:17-22; 36:22-24. (Which is being progressively fulfilled since 1948 when Israel became a nation again, and is continuing until this day). The next gathering is for the Church (The Bride of Christ) at the Rapture; before the Tribulation. - John 14:1-4; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; [c.f. 1 Thessalonians 1:10; 5:9; Revelation 3:10]. The last gathering is in two stages. The first stage of the last gathering is for "all things that offend" to "sever the wicked from among the just." In Matthew 13:18-50, Jesus says He sends out His angels to gather the WICKED FIRST, then the righteous remain. This is the same concept as in Matthew 24:37-41 & Psalms 37:10-11; which stands in direct opposition to Isaiah 57:1-2. "The Introductory 'peri de': When Jesus said that no one knows that day and hour except the Father alone, Matthew 24:36 records the introduction of the statement with 'peri de' (“now concerning”). It is well established that when 'peri de' stands absolutely at the beginning of a sentence (and followed by the genitive), it marks a new section of thought THAT REACHES BACK TO PREVIOUS MATERIAL, often to resume an unanswered or unspoken question. "Pretribulationists have noticed the 'peri de" construction in 1 Thessalonians 5:1. This precise construction is recognized as introducing A SLIGHTLY NEW YET COMPLEMENTARY SUBJECT with the 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 presentation of the pretribulational rapture. Although 'peri de' introduces a slightly new subject at 1 Thessalonians 5:1, it also carries on the eschatological concerns of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18." - (Dr. John Hart) In Matthew 24:36, Jesus REACHES BACK TO the end of verse 30 to inform His audience that "no one knows the day or hour" of His return. Then proceeds in verses 37-41 to introduce A SLIGHTLY NEW YET COMPLEMENTARY SUBJECT. He speaks of how the wicked will be taken first and then righteous will remain (which He already stated in Matthew 13:30, 38, 40-43, 49-50). The second stage of the last gathering is for the elect (those who have come to faith in Christ during the Tribulation), which is also the second regathering of Israel back to their Homeland. This time they are gathered in faith (They have finally accepted Jesus as their Messiah) - Isaiah 11:11-12. Which finds its fulfillment in Matthew 24:31; 25:31-46, AFTER THE TRIBULATION (Verse 29).

Thanks for sharing brother! I love you man! You are a blessing! Im praying for you and your family! I am watching and expecting for the rapture/event to happen on Saturday, April 16th 2022 during Passover and the full pink moon. A few brothers and sisters have had dreams of Passover and rapture dreams with a pink moon. Sister Darla from "God's gifts" YT channel had a dream that "It was all over during Passover" and she said she had a dream where she woke up yelling "The 16th!!". I had a dream last year where I saw the date of the rapture engraved in a cement tombstone in Hebrew writing and all I could understand and remember was that the end date was the 16th of a month! And a brother from "The unleashing" YT channel had a dream that the rapture happened on a Saturday! I believe that 2022 (Up until May 14th 2022) is the year of the rapture because Israel is turning 74 years old on May 14th and the rapture must happen before then in order for the Fig Tree prophecy to be correct. And I believe God is waiting until the very last moment which is the last full moon before May 14th 2022. On my channel there WAS a video of a sister that had a very detailed vision of the rapture/event (KZbin deleted it), she says that the rapture/event will be a bright white light lasting a few minutes and we will be transformed into our heavenly glorified bodies and brought up to heaven. I give full glory to God/Jesus for this comment because I have been praying everyday for God/Jesus to reveal this information to me so that I can share it with everyone. "If God/Jesus is everything, then we must be inside God/Jesus, and God/Jesus must be inside us" We will not experience any pain during the rapture/event. See you in heaven! Pray and repent of your sins to God/Jesus, not to be saved, but to show respect to God/Jesus and strengthen your relationship. God/Jesus loves everyone of you like as if you were the only person in the entire universe! Please share this message with your family and friends! God bless you and your family!
