THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH - Pastor Vaughn's Interactive LIVE ZOOM Bible Study - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ1UU4NOc0k Transcript: (00:00) so the the majority of this class believes that before the tribulation begins that the church will be raptured now that is the majority of the Christian Church's opinion the book Left Behind that's what it teaches most all of the prophecy teachers of the Christian Church teach that you and I will not be here during the tribulation they teach that we're going to in a secret Rapture that could happen at any moment that we could all be driving down the roads and cars start running into one another as the church disappears from the Earth today I'm not (00:46) going to teach you about this subject I'm going to let the word of God teach you about this subject we've got almost 60 scriptures that we're going to deal with today and when this class is over we're going to see what the Bible says let's start our lesson today and my scripture reader make sure you're unmuted go ahead and check and make sure you're unmuted now I want to ask everyone of you this what if today's headlines on your local newspaper what if today's headlines on CNN when you looked on their ticker running across the screen what if (01:29) today's headlines were Jesus Christ Returns the sad thing about it is most of the Christian church today does not believe that yua the Messiah is going to return they have given up on that hope and I would brother V how can you say that my church believes Jesus is coming back then I'm going to ask you this question you preach what you believe when's the last time you heard it preached in your church about the return of Christ if it's been over two weeks that's been too long the main message of the church is not how to live your best life now (02:22) because this is actually your worst life your best life is soon to come Hallelujah the main message of the church to today is how to be blessed and how to prosper the main message of the church today is how to live a happy life how to have a happy wife that is the main message of the church they've totally missed the mark the church has one message prepare to meet your God that is the message of the church if your church is not emphasizing that message you're not part of a church you're part of a social club you might (03:01) as well join the Masons you might as well join the Knights of Columbus because it's just a place where you all get together have dinner on the ground and talk about uh politics it's it's not the church the church of yua has one message it's the message yosua preached prepare for the coming kingdom of God yua said something that's very important he said before I return will there be any faith left on the earth and I want to say to all of you before we read our first verse the faith in the return of Christ has left the (03:47) Earth we have 60 of you in here this morning that are holding on to that Faith but I dare say your neighbors they don't have that Faith your blessed today if you've held on this long to faith faith in what the following words let's read it everyone turn in your Bibles to John chapter 14 and verse three and our scripture reader unmute yourself please and read I am okay and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there ye also so may be now I just want everybody to focus on that one (04:34) three words that yua says I will come I'd like for every student in here today to repeat those words with me I will come let those words settle somewhere in your spirit here in your mind yua promising his little flock that I will come when you say that feel that and believe that that is the faith that's left the earth I will come nobody believes that anymore now brother V I know people that say they believe it baby saying it and living like it is two different things I can say that I believe a train cuz I live right by the train tracks I (05:29) can say I believe a train is fixing a bus through this home in about 30 seconds I could say I believe that but honey if my behind is still sitting here for the next 30 seconds I don't believe that do you understand it's easy to say I believe yua is coming but are you being faithful to his Commandments preparing see it's not do you still believe he's coming but are you preparing ing for his return now those words I will come again is the hope of the church have you lost faith in that before this lesson today is over (06:15) and many people will watch this by the thousands once it's over I'm asking you across the world do you still have faith in those words I will come oh h Hallelujah now the next question is how is he going to come let's read Acts chapter 1 verse 11 which also said ye men of Galilee why stand ye gazing up into heaven this same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven so how is jhua going to return there's your answer he tells you he's coming back in (07:05) the same manner that he left in through the clouds down from the sky he left going up and he's returning coming down in the same way you saw me leave that's how you're going to see me return now there are millions that do believe in the return of Christ however there are differing opinions about The Return of Christ I'm going to tell you the three prominent positions that the Christian Church believes the first position that they believe is called the post millennial coming now that is held by the Catholic Church a post millennial (08:02) coming they believe that yua will return after the Thousand Years of Peace on planet Earth now the Catholic Church believes that they believe that the purpose of the Catholic church is to establish the kingdom of God on Earth and after that then yua will return well that's just not the case and I'm I'll prove it to you today now there's another uh philosophy that yua has already returned that's called prism prism it's a dangerous Doctrine in God's church and I'll deal with prism on another lesson I won't do it today because we'd be here (08:50) all day long the third most prevalent opinion about the return of Yeshua is that that his return will be a secret Rapture and most of you believe that according to this belief yua will return in two phases they believe first he will return secretly and take you and I all away in that great Heavenly vacuum cleaner and he will take us out just for the time of the mark of the beast and the Great Tribulation well he's running a little bit late because I see the mark already happening talk about that later many people that believe in this (09:44) Doctrine believe that the church will be kept safe in heaven not on earth now the second phase of of the coming will be public but the first phase will be secret how many of you have seen the cartoons where planes are flying and all of a sudden they're crashing because maybe the pilot was a Believer and he gets secretly raptured if you've read the books Left Behind that's what you've been taught if you've listened to how Lindsay that's what you've been taught the late great planet Earth that's what you've been (10:27) taught now they do believe the the second phase will be a public return of Christ when we will all be able to see him and hear him that theory ladies and gentlemen is what I believed all my life I no longer believe that today I'll explain why number one it's against the scripture the Bible tells us about two comings of Christ the first coming and the second coming if you believe in the Rapture then you believe in three comings of Christ you believe in the first coming as a baby and then you believe in this secret (11:15) coming where he will come and secretly take us away and then you believe in his public coming ladies and gentlemen we're not Democrats 1+ 1 doesn't equal three with us it equals two you cannot have a first coming a secret coming and a public coming and have two comings of Christ that's three comings of Christ now another thing that I found quite ironic is that the secret Rapture of the church doctrine is about 300 years old it's a very new doctrine not one member of the Earth early Apostolic Church believed in a secret Rapture (12:04) we've read all of their writings ignacius polycarp all of these church leaders never mention this secret Rapture they only mention the second coming of Messiah so where did this Doctrine come from it came in the year 1830 and it started off in uh Great Britain and then there was a group of brothers called the Plymouth Brethren their leader was a man by the name of Darby now Darby was one of the first ones that began to teach this secret Rapture Doctrine but something happened so how did it go from being this one man's (12:52) understanding to basically all of Christendom believing it because Darby had a student in his class or under his influence by the name of SC scoffield it was the scoffield Bible that postulated this idea of a secret Rapture now some of the proponents was uh Dwight Moody uh and uh who's the other famous evangelist um anyway these brothers took that teaching and made it prevalent in the 20th century about a secret Rapture of the church but today we're going to study the scriptures and we're going to find out if that is what the Bible says so (13:47) before I go any further are there any hand raised sister Pat do I need to answer any questions so far there are there are a couple an iPhone I'm sorry H I don't know your name and Linda go ahead and ask your questions unmute yourself if your hand is raised all right we'll continue uh if you have a question raise your hand below and then we'll come to you periodically to get those questions answered all right then we'll continue with the lesson so if Christ is is not going to return in a secret Rapture how is he going to return number one most (14:35) people believe in a secret Rapture because Jesus said yua that he would return like a thief in the night this is where the whole concept of this secret Rapture comes from they believe that a thief in the night means he will come invisibly secretly my question to you today is have you ever met an invisible Thief no I'm gonna type these up there's no such thing as an invisible Thief there is surprising thieves but not individual uh in invisible Thieves for okay now is he going to return secretly well if he's coming like a (15:29) thief in the night that is what we believe let's read 1 Thessalonians 5 2-3 for yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night for when they shall say peace and safety then sudden destruction comes upon them as travail upon a woman with child they shall not Escape let's pause right there that is where the secret Rapture Doctrine comes from Jesus is coming like a thief in the night nobody will even know he came it's going to be like a thief well let's read 1 Thessalonians 5 4-6 and let's bring (16:13) the rest of the story to this Doctrine but you Brethren are not in darkness listen listen carefully you Brethren now the world is in darkness the world is asleep sleep Revelations 12:9 says the whole world is deceived except for the Brethren which is the house of Israel the church the eklesia the cahal only they are awake and watching now the first two verses talks about a thief in the night but those verses do not apply to the Brethren he is only coming like a thief and the night to the world not because it's (17:04) invisible but because they're not watching keep reading that that day should overtake you as a thief you are all children of light in the children of the day we are not of the night nor of Darkness therefore let us not sleep as others but let us watch and be sober you know why we're is that verse six sister yeah that was six okay do you know why we're supposed to watch and be sober because we're watching for the thief Hallelujah see the rest of the house goes to sleep at night but if you know the thief is coming you're sitting up (17:52) with the shotgun out on the porch you're watching for the thief so therefore to you there is going to be no secret Rapture why because you're keeping the holy days you know exactly when our Lord is returning you're not like those that's waiting for this thief to get them secretly you're expecting him because you keep the holy days you know his patterns we repeat them every year those holy patterns let's read Revelation 16 and 15 Revelation 16 and 15 I'm sorry I forgot to mute unmute myself behold I come as a thief blessed (18:47) is he that watches and keeps his garments lest he walk naked and they see his shame see I'm coming as a thief except to those that are watching brothers and sisters yua told you and I to watch and pray we're the Watchers that's why at this ministry we keep the holy days they give us the pattern to watch by they give us the signpost every year Passover unleavened bread Pentecost trumpets atonement Tabernacles the last great day these are the side post every year that keeps our focus on the coming of the Lord if you're not (19:36) keeping them you're clueless as to when he's coming and yet the church has told you that Jesus did away with those and ladies and gentlemen that's why the church is asleep they've forgotten the watch post which are the seven holy days every year this is why you are called not to be caught unaware so let me ask you this about a thief he doesn't come invisibly he comes by surprise yosua will not come as an invisible Thief he will come as a surprise Thief to those that are not watching let's read Matthew 24 42-44 watch therefore for ye know not (20:28) what our our Lord does come now did you hear that watch therefore watch therefore this is why if a church you're going to is not teaching Bible prophecy on a regular basis you're not in a watching church I'm going to say that again whether you like it or not a watching church is a church that is studying the science post they are keeping these holy festivals because these festivals are reminding them of the patterns of Yahweh and how the coming of the Lord will transpire so my question to you today is your church a watching (21:18) church now see most churches today are worshiping churches they love to worship but nobody's watching oh Hallelujah come on Lord don't make me don't make me cut up in here today I'm trying to be sweet worshiping is one thing see we're living in a day when people will worship a God that they will not watch for or obey but they will worship because worship gives them an emotional High a spiritual fix that everybody needs and it's wonderful but until you're watching you are not a true worshipper keep reading sister (21:59) but know this that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come he would have watched and would not have suffered his house to be broken up therefore be ye also ready for in for in such an hour as ye think not the son of man comes what did he tell you don't be caught unaware you don't have to be unaware you don't have to be be surprised everybody says well we don't know when he's coming yes we do we don't know the hour but we know the the season we know what the signs will be one of (22:44) those signs is famine famine is coming to America it's already here go look at your Walmart meat shelf go look at the at the the the the the west where the cattle are being sold at auctions right now by the Millions go famine is coming to America what's another sign pestilence which is what unusual diseases hello are you watching or are you worshiping some of y'all need to come out of your worship and start watching this thing's getting real and you're going to be caught somewhere just having church instead of (23:22) being in a ministry that's watching and teaching you how to watch for the coming of the Lord why do you think Satan got rid of the holy days out of the church why do you think he did it so you'd quit watching every year seven times a year every week on the Sabbath day oh well all right let's go read Matthew 24 verse 30 through 31 now here's the question I'm going to ask let me call on somebody I want you to listen to the reader as she reads the verse and Allison I want you to answer the following question question after she (24:00) reads this verse is the coming of yua going to be done in quiet and secret that's your question Allison is the coming of yua going to be quiet and secret Now read verse Matthew 24: 30-31 and then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven and then shall all the tri of the earth mourn and they shall see the son of man coming in the Clouds Of Heaven with power and great glory 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 (24:50) other Allison unmute yourself I'm here good morning shabat shalom shalom answer the question is the coming of yua going to be done in secret and quietly according to those two verses absolutely not amen so where did now you can mute yourself thank you so where did we get this idea that this is going to be some secret Rapture the Bible well brother Von that's when we're all going to be gathered together in the Rapture no no no you better go back and read verse 31 read verse 31 again for us dear reader and he shall send his angels with (25:33) a great sound of a trumpet and they shall gather together his elect from the Four Winds how does that happen if we were already gathered together a few years earlier in a secret Rapture I'm G tell you something if you don't never mind I'm gonna get to preaching amen thank you brother when does the elect get gathered together at the sounding of a great noise honey ain't going to be nothing secret about that beautiful glorious appearing of Our Lord the Bible said every ey is going to see him where did this lie come from the (26:20) pits of Hell Oh Glory to God all right reader let's go to first Thessalonians 4:16-17 shall we for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the Archangel real quiet real secretly real clandestinely don't you think no keep reading and with the Trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first ladies and gentlemen you've been taught that at the Rapture of the church that the dead in Christ is going to be caught up in a secret Rapture you've been taught that we were going to be changed and going in (27:10) this secret Rapture but according to those two verses when are the dead resurrected at some quiet event let me call on Julie Coler according to that verse Miss Julie Coler when are the Saints going to meet Christ according to that verse unmute yourself Julie okay pastor Von I'm not even sure which verse it was if you could tell me I'll get there verse 31 no I'm sorry verse verse 17 I'm sorry okay let him which is on the housetop not come am I on the right chapter hold on I don't where hold on let's see where was we at (28:01) sister we were at 1 Thessalonians 4 verse 16 okay read verse 16 uh Miss CER and you tell me when the dead in Christ will meet the Lord for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of and with the trumpet and with the dead the dead in Christ shall rise first I still don't think I'm on the right verse you're right no no you're an is right there think about my question when do the dead in Christ meet the Lord in some secret the voice of the Archangel and with the Trump of God that's right at the second coming not (28:43) some secret Rapture all right sister Pat do we have any questions so far sister Pat yes yes we have Carly Carly go ahead and mute yourself babe hello hello how are you sorry I wasn't here when you were calling my name I was out in the kitchen sorry okay so when um Jesus come is okay I get that but does everybody gonna know that he's here or just these people uh go back and go read the verse we just read in verse 16's your answer it's going to be a shout so loud a trumpet so loud it's going to Wake the Dead the whole world is going to see the (29:36) coming of Christ okay so he's not okay there is no secret Rapture everybody that's the biggest lie ever I don't believe in I never believe in the Rapture because I didn't know about the Rapture until the other so so to me it was like that doesn't make sense most go ahead no no ahead okay most Christians believe a secret Rapture yeah yes at this ministry when they explain it to me it didn't make sense I'm like that doesn't even make sense however nobody could give me details they just say oh it's in the Bible it's in the Bible (30:12) right now let me let me explain to you Kaylee what the let me I I want everybody does anybody watching me have never mind I know y'all do everybody watching me has common sense you're not Democrats you have common sense now let me explain it to you like this according to the Rapture Theory you and I are going to be whisk up in a vacuum cleaner to heaven for seven years while the tribulation is going on on Earth we're going to be protected in heaven yet the Bible says that the dead in Christ and those of us which are (30:54) alive that we don't meet the Lord in the air until he returns with the sound of a trumpet so loud it's going to wake the dead so here's my question if we were raptured seven years earlier up to heaven do we come back down and go back in our Graves for the second coming so we can get up again and meet the Lord in the air at the sound of the trumpet or better yet we all go to heaven but yet we don't hear well done my good and faithful service vant until the second coming so how did we get into heaven without going to judgment which doesn't (31:34) happen till after the tribulation how did we bypass well done go to do we have to come back and go back and hear him say Well done and go back in come on folks come on it's really simple there's two comings of Christ it's really that simple any other questions sister Pat before I proceed all right Deborah we had one Deborah thank you I'm sorry multitasking I'm typing all this the verses up for you guys so and I'll put my email if you guys

go now and continue our study raise your hand if you have questions we will get to you we're going to go to Matthew 24 26- 27 those bones I just don't want those bones mute yourself Pat Pat Pat sorry Matthew 24 26-27 let's ask the question and I'm gon to answer I tell you what um Angie Tron call are you out there yes sir God bless you Angie I'm going to (36:31) have my verse reader read this verse and you're going to answer the following question from that verse when Christ returns will he be visible to everyone on Earth or will it just be secretly to his church we're going to find that answer and you're going to answer the question when Christ returns will it be visible to everyone on Earth or just a secret Rapture that only the church can see that answers in Matthew 24 26-27 she's going to read and then Angie you're GNA answer the question wherefore if they shall say (37:14) unto you behold he is in the desert go not forth behold he is in the street Chambers believe it not for as the lightning comes out of the East and shines even to the West so shall this coming of the son of men be Angie according to that verse is he coming as a secret or will it be public for everyone to see It'll absolutely be public for everyone to see and how does he compare his coming to what natural element lightning as it goes from the East to the west and everyone sees it amen see it every time a storm comes that's right (38:00) now let's now let's read Revelations 1 and7 and Angie I want you to answer the question one more time from this verse Revelations 1 and7 behold he comes with clouds in every eye shall see him in they also which pierced him in all kindreds of the Earth shall wh because of him even so amen Angie will this be a secret coming or will every human on planet Earth see him every human eyes that are absolutely whether you are blind in the natural yep you will still see him that is our awesome awesome God hallelujah praise Yahweh now do you know (38:49) what I found interesting about the verse she just read in Matthew 24 and 26 here's what the Jesus warned you and I about let's read it again shall we go back to that and read Matthew 24:26 and I want to show you what Christ warned you about wherefore if they shall say to you behold he is in the desert go not forth behold he is in the secret Chambers believe it not whoa whoa whoa whoa if they tell you that his coming is going to be a secret in some secret chamber believe it not and yet that's what the whole church (39:33) believes wow I thank God for truth if you don't love truth you don't love God Amen he Jesus said they're going to tell you I'm Inc coming in some secret chamber don't believe it believe that I when I come every eye is going to see me I'm coming like the lightning comes from the East to the West that's why this ministry is fult so hard we teach truth whether it hair lips the devil I don't care I don't care if everybody walks off and leaves me I'll be somewhere trying to tell people watch and pray our Messiah is soon to return (40:16) all right I'm trying to preach never mind all right Hallelujah W glory to God y'all I'm a preacher I'm so sorry I I'm trying not to preach when you see the glasses come off I love it you didn't throw them this time getting ready to preach it is Bible study that's true I'm trying to study the Bible you're right you're right you're right brother let's get there all right Revelations 1 and6 let's read that one and he had in his right hand Seven Stars and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword and his countenance was (41:01) as the sun shines in in his strength when yua returns according to this verse he will be so bright of a coming that it will be like the Sun at High Noon when that sun when nobody can ignore it it's so bright that's the coming of our Messiah now let's read Zechariah 14 in verse 4 and it's going to talk to us about Christ's return and when he comes down that uh he has a specific Target in mind let's read Zachariah 14 and4 and his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives which is before Jerusalem on the East and the (41:56) Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the East and toward the west and there shall be a very great valley in half of the mountain shall remove toward the North and half of it toward the South all right James I'm GNA call on you to answer this question from that verse not from your own understanding from that verse James unmute yourself when yua returns according to this verse is he going to take his Saints and do a a a 360 or 180 and turn around and take them back to Heaven according to that verse James (42:40) unmute yourself please no sir what is he going to do I was trying to find it and I missed reading I'm sorry Zechariah 14 and4 does does Yeshua have an Earthly Target in mind at his return or is he going back to heaven with his Saints you got it mind and on Earth that's right and according to this verse it's the Mount of Olives that's where his feet are going to touch down and he's going to rule planet Earth for 1,000 years before he hands all of this back to his father in a restored renewed condition the way the father created it (43:30) now let's go on and let's read pastor we have a hand raised Diane go ahead Diane Diane can it won't unmute unmute yourself my mic my mic was giving me trouble unmuting okay

Thessalonians 4:15 through 16 and let's find out does the resurrection of the Dead your hand again okay okay uh mut does the resurrection of the Dead in Christ take place in a secret Rapture or does it take place at the physical return of yua first Thessalonians I tell you what uh let's do this uh Sherry Bob unmute yourself and when my when the verse is read I want you to answer the question does the dead in Christ go up in a Rapture or do they come up at the physical second coming of Christ read sister 1 (45:01) Thessalonians 4:1 15-16 for this we say unto you by the word of the Lord that we which are alive in remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep 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 then we which are alive and remain shall be cut up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord Sher Bob when do you and I and all (45:44) the sainted dead meet the Lord Jesus Christ the first time do we meet him in a secret Rapture when we get to heaven or do we meet him at his physical Second Coming Sherry unmute yourself all right if she not there let Rhonda Connor unmute yourself answer that question please for this class all right I'm I'm trying to include everybody let's do this brother Allan are you there brother Allan uh I tell you what Paul hasell answer that question brother Paul hold on brother Paul I'll come back to you brother Allan (46:29) brother Paul hasell according to that verse when do you and I that are alive and remain when to the dead joined together to meet our lord for the first time and I need to hear the verse again I'm sorry we l it's okay in verse 15 should I start with verse 15 uh F first start at 1 Thessalonians 4:1 15-16 and I want the has family to answer this question including those beautiful children sitting there God bless that beautiful family read sister for this we say unto you by the word of the Lord that we which are alive (47:13) in remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not preedee them which are asleep for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the Archangel and with the Trump of God in the dead in Christ shall rise first then we which are alive and remain shall be cut up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord Brother Paul hasal the question is this when do you and I and the sainted dead meet the Lord for the first time in a secret catching away or at his physical (47:56) second coming that is physical Second Coming amen that's the truth folks it doesn't get no plainer than those two verses that destroys the secret Rapture Theory because according to the secret Rapture Theory you and I get secretly vacuumed out and go meet the Lord in heaven according to this verse there's no vacuum cleaner according to this verse we meet yua when he returns amen brother yes ma'am uh I'm sorry I couldn't get to the unmute button oh it's okay Rhonda we'll come back to you darling okay thank you what about the (48:39) post Tri move cat we we'll get there in just a moment okay all right let's go now to 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 and let's get more scriptural evidence 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 is everybody ready behold I show you a mystery we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet when whoa whoa whoa when does this happen at the last trumpet is that sound like a secret quiet Rapture to you no no no this happen happens when the trumpet sounds keep reading for the trumpet (49:32) shall sound and the dead shall be raised Incorruptible and we shall be changed the church teaches that you were raised seven years earlier before that trumpet sound you were CAU away in a secret Rapture according to this Bible you don't get changed until the trumpet sounds not a secret rapture let's read 1 Thessalonians 4 and 16 and let's see what trumpet this is should have it memorized by now I know it huh okay so you want me to start with verse 14 no just just 16 for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven (50:18) with a shout with the voice of the Archangel in with the Trump of God okay in the dead in Christ so the second coming of Christ will be heralded by a trumpet or a chofar that's why in our church every Sabbath day we start our service with the blowing of that trumpet the chofar we're practicing for the coming of yua every Sabbath day in our local assembly and when that trumpet sounds in our local church all of the Saints rise from their pews we're practicing for when we all all shall rise wo Hallelujah to God Oh Glory all (51:02) right now let's read Revelation 11:15 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 forever and ever now the reason I wanted to read that verse it shows you that when the trumpet sounds because that verse talks about the sounding of a trumpet that will initiate the Sabbath day or the 7,000th year or the millennial Reign the coming Kingdom of yua on planet Earth you and I will meet the Lord at the beginning of (51:51) the seventh day or the 7,000th year that's when Yeshua will become king of the earth and you will become the kings of the earth you will be Kings unto your God oh my Lord that's for another day but I'll come to that one real soon read Revelations 11 and8 sister and the nations were angry and thy wrath is come in the time of the Dead that they should be judged and that thou should give reward unto thy servants the prophets into the Saints in them that fear thy name small and great and should destroy them which (52:36) destroy the Earth when Yeshua returns he's coming to give positions or rewards to his people to rule on planet Earth oh if you don't know these wonderful things you've been robbed of this marvelous purpose of your birth go back and watch my teachings the purpose of your birth go back and watch last week where I showed you when yua will return at the World War II when nuclear war and he just showed you that the nations are going to be angry in verse 18 of Revelations 11 that the Nations will be angry that's a euphemism for World War (53:15) among these nations see it's all right there in your Bible the Bible's a wonderful book there's no mystery that the Bible does not answer for you now let's talk about this question brother Vine if we're not going to heaven if we're not going up in a secret Rapture then what's going to happen to us during the time of trouble on planet Earth what's going to happen to us when the wrath of Yahweh is poured out on the earth which it's almost here surely we're not appointed to that wrath surely we don't have to suffer from that wrath (53:57) do we no we don't that's the good news to answer that question we're going to go to the word of God not brother Von's doctrines not my church's doctrines we're going to go to the word of God but before we read this verse I want to teach you a principle about God he never changes if I could teach anything before I die before they put me under the ground it would be this vital fact that Yahweh never changes Yahweh is so predictable he said in his word if you want to know what I'm going to do tomorrow look at what I did (54:39) yesterday why it's one big circle I see you brother Allan I see your circle it's one big circle so if you want to know what's going to happen to us in the future look at what happened to us in the past when I say us who am I talking about God's chosen people Israel start start with Noah the flood was God's Wrath on the Earth was it not was Noah raptured or was Noah protected brother Allan say it out loud he was protected all right let's go over to lot in Sodom and Gomorrah Sodom and Gomorrah God poured his wrath upon the Earth didn't he was (55:34) lot raptured or protected brother Allan protected let's take it further let's go to the land of Egypt when Yahweh poured his wrath out on the earth plagues death when Yahweh did all of that did he Rapture his people or protect them he protected them let's take it further let's go to ad70 when Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the church was being destroyed did God Rapture his church or protect his church he protected them that's right so that gives us a good insight as to what he's going to do for you and I because he (56:17) never changes let's go read Matthew 24 and 21 and verse 29 nasty spray all right somebody read who sister Matthew 24 verse 21 and verse 29 did I lose my reader all right brother Allan read that for me I was on mute sorry okay go ahead sistered okay verse 29 immediate verse 21 and 29 sorry I'm I apologize it's okay then shall be Great Tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time no nor ever shall be immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened and (57:21) the moon shall not give her light and the Stars shall fall from Heaven and the poers of the heavens shall be shaken now was that verse 29 yes okay now tell me what happens next in verse 30 after this time of trouble what happens in verse 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 Glory great Glory does that verse prove to us that Christ will not come for his people (58:03) until after the tribulation correct yeah read it again and again and again till you get it he talks about in verse 29 about horrible tribulation and then after the tribulation I will come and get my people there is no escaping what's coming to planet Earth children but because Satan has transformed himself into a preacher the Bible said Satan has changed himself from a scary creature to a messenger of light that's a preacher a pastor an apostle a prophet because he's done that he has got behind the pulpit and some of you pay him a salary to lie (58:51) to you and to tell you that you're going to escape all of this don't worry God's going to turn the vacuum cleaner on no need to worry about any of that but I'm going tell you what that's what's going to happen to the faith of millions when that don't happen they're not preparing their faith to stand the trials that's coming to planet Earth but what is the good news for you and I let's read it Matthew 24 we have a hand raised P okay go ahead who has a question barley it's C okay I'm sorry but real quick because this is the other thing that (59:31) people some people right now Christians are saying and I had an argument the other day because she was calling me she's like oh the Thousand Years of Peace are is coming and that's it but they don't think we got to go through the tribulation first I say not yeah the Bible says we got to go through tribulation and then peace so right people want to jump to peace with all the tribulation so they're not getting ready so that makes me upset I'm like where do you see that but now I I have the scripture but that's what it is (1:00:07) first we're gonna go tribulation and then peace absolutely and because people don't believe that they're not going to be prepared I mean do y'all think when I get on here and I tell you stock up food get gold and silver that I'm doing that because I don't have nothing else to tell y'all do you not I mean there's a purpose I'm teaching you these things prepare trouble is coming food shortages are here and we're now connected with an emergency food preparedness company you can buy Emergency Food they'll bless our (1:00:42) ministry with 10% of whatever you buy from them and you can at least have a couple of months of food stored up is is that on the on the website too the food Lord I'm so behind on the website half ain't in there anyway I'm getting there getting okay how can we get that food supply uh P I'm sorry I got you you can answer at he does this to us all the time he tells you about these wonderful things but he doesn't tell us how to handle it I'm gonna smack him um you know what our directory is so getting close and we're going to have (1:01:23) all of these where you're going to click a link and you're G to get all of this Avail but I'm going to get you I'm going um Pastor we're we're going to be on your case about this pastor okay keep us on the website Pat says I'm the man of great ideas you are we have two hands raised pastor we have Joseph and Kelly go ahead yes next Pastor Shane um I just want to say one second and I'll say it in Hebrew first Ben sh that is Satan's name in Hebrew which most people don't know and it's very important that we we study the (1:02:04) scriptures especially in Isaiah to know who he is he is an angel just like Michel just like just like rapael but his name is a little different the L in his name is not LF lamed it is it is a what we call a um sir lamed in Hebrew all right and I study the scriptures in Biblical Hebrew all time I just want to say that because we should know who he is we know he's a messenger of light but the scriptures don't hide who he is he is the son of Shah and we should understand that and praise God praise God for this study brother I don't (1:02:40) believe in I have not believed in it 14 years and I left my church because of it many years wow you're you're you're you've left Babylon congratulations my brother 14 years they would not celebrate the Feast I left I I keep pesak in my home every year I keep all the the high holidays now you need to get on a plane and come down to Mississippi and keep it with us every year we do it Hallelujah I'll drive down I don't fly okay good for you one other question and then we'll proceed we still got a good ways to go um actually I have a question but the (1:03:15) denisia is uh also asking a question she's putting it up she's keep some she wants to know what about cremation okay we'll talk about cremation at the end of the class is did you have another one Kelly I did uh as of late uh or at least the past few months I it's kind of silly and ridiculous but there's so many people out there that I keep coming across that are literally getting in these battles of the will if you will talking about yes the Rapture is going to happen yes the Saints are going to be taken up yes and they're arguing back and forth (1:03:52) according to what they interpret the the uh scriptures to say and I mean it's clear by what you explained to us I appreciate that how you you know really broke it down for us but um a lot of them just simply don't see it in in their in many of their hearts they feel that the ones that have been faithful to God the ones that are you know saved are going to be just taken up right and they're uh so they don't have to face that tribulation they don't have to go through it it's going to be the as they call it the rotten or saved people that (1:04:27) are going to be left here and that that's that's their problem so don't worry about it you're going to be if you're right with God and your name's written in the Lamb's Book alive you're good to go you're going to be gone you're not going to have to deal with it how do you I don't really want to necessarily get into that debate but I don't want you you've you've really taught me and it's it's really hit home don't speak unless you know exactly what you're talking about and you can back it up so again I don't want to get into (1:04:57) some argument with somebody but I don't want to let that I don't want to let someone go and not know when they are when when they've been taught so wrong like I was because I was taught wrong until you showed me uh do you understand what I'm saying amen the best method of teaching is to ask questions why do you think every every one of these verses I'm reading today I'm asking a question and making people answer it okay I would encourage you the next time somebody tells you they believe in the Rapture saywell you know I have a (1:05:32) question why didn't God Rapture any of his people out of trouble before why did he never do that before why didn't he do that to Noah why didn't he do it to lot why didn't he do it to Israel why why why am I different why am I more special than all of the other houses of Israel before me and just make them answer that question okay thank you that's a great starting point okay but study these scriptures and be able to answer them back let me tell you what's going to happen when you answer them this question when you ask them you're (1:06:10) going to get that dumb look that stare now that I don't mean a dumb look in a bad way they don't know the answer to that and they're going to start uh well um um um that's when you've got an open door you can ask my local church when I teach I ask questions that I'm not doing it to make you look dumb I'm doing it to get mad at yourself for not thinking right for not being a thinking person what I was more referencing to was and yes I I have come across people like that but I meant more like I I personally have dropped off a lot of (1:06:50) social media sites I did that a year ago I just got so tired of it and the drama and so on and so for but some of these groups that I were in that you know spoke of the the Bible and the teachings and so on and so forth that's where I'm seeing a lot of them argue back and forth back and forth and again I don't want to instigate right and I don't want to necessarily jump into something that I wasn't personally uh addressed but it it drives me crazy and breaks my heart at the same time that you've got the ones that know and (1:07:29) they're they're trying so hard to prove to these other people no you're wrong this is the way it is but then you've got the other person coming back and saying the same thing no you're wrong just start asking questions and act like you don't know the answer and make people think all right thank you that's the best way to do it let's go to Matthew 2415-20 and folks I'll answer more questions later but I don't want to slow the flow down of where we're going so let's Let's Do Matthew 2415-20 shall we let's read when ye therefore shall see the (1:08:02) abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophet stand in the Holy place and in parentheses I have uh who so reads let him understand in verse 16 then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains 17 let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house in 18 neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes in 19 in who in woe unto them that are with child into to them that give suck in those days and 20 and 21 also correct yes 20 no just 20 sorry but pray ye that your (1:08:52) flight be not in the winter neither on the Sabbath day now here yua is telling about great trouble like the world has never seen he says when this trouble happens here's what you need to do I will teach you how to be protected he told them flee to the mountains in those days this happened in ad70 but this is a dual prophecy because he says there's going to be trouble such as the world will never see again that wasn't fulfilled in 1870 but he said when you see this happening flee to the mountains let's read uh John 17 and 15 (1:09:40) now the question is in ad70 when God sent his wrath to Jerusalem to destroy the temple God was angry with Israel poured out his wrath but he told his Believers when that wrath comes you're not going to get raptured get prepared is that not what he told him when you see this happening be prepared for Supernatural protection in the mountains I'm going to protect you not in heaven on Earth let's keep reading read John 17- 15 I pray not that that thou should take them out of the world but that thou sh keep them from the evil wow (1:10:30) wow amen wow I'm just G to let that simmer for a minute Jesus prayed to the father don't take them out of the world don't Rapture them protect them Father when the evil comes somebody just say wow wow that's the words of Christ hallelujah hallelujah wow wow I have that message always in my mind wow amen I'm not praying am amazing wow I'm not praying for you to Rapture them but please protect them Father when the evil comes Des Desiree has a question if we could go ahead Desiree hi Pastor B um Dar I just recently found you through a (1:11:29) friend of mine um so I have tell your friend I said Thank you you've got a good friend yes yes sir I do um I have a lot of questions but I'll keep this one short okay um I'm a baby to the Bible I've been through many different types of churches okay um Catholic Church I was baptized and it was kind of weird to me I don't understand the whole gravy boat over the head I believe in my eyes I believe the full baptism is through full body submersion you're right but for me it would be like in an open River um my family was sealed in the Mormon (1:12:09) Temple right way back when when I was little yeah so for me it's I don't know um it's really hard but for this something kept telling me and along with my friend I was judged in the Catholic church because I kept questioning them and they said you don't question the word of God I'm not questioning the word of God right I'm questioning how they are presenting things because it didn't feel right yes ma'am it exactly the same Pentecostal churches um I went one when I was little my mom said I actually seen the devil came back and had (1:12:50) nightmares for three months afterwards not saying that it's a bad church but that's sure exactly happened to me um I've recently just started opening the Bible trying to find out and I've been trying to find help everywhere I've been seeing repeating numbers everywhere especially more so now over the past three months consistently all day every day from clocks to cars to and I don't understand that so I've been trying to find it through the word of God and I think this is the way I found you as well as through those (1:13:32) numbers yes I I believe in biblical numerology you know that's how many times she's local she's gonna come see us we're chatting she's coming to see us H where are you from I'm in Esa well my Lord child you better get on over here okay yes all right the Lord amen girl you closer to me you come on come on darling now I want uh I want to keep on folks because we're running out of time and I want to get through this study so everybody knows this subject now by the way Desiree God has always God created the Earth well never mind I I'll deal with (1:14:17) numbers on another on another show all right let's go now to Revelation 3 and: 10 and let's see what happens to the Church during the tribulation Revelations 3 and10 thou Hast kept the word of my patience I also will keep thee from the hour of Temptation which shall come upon all the world to try them that dwell upon the earth oh my my Lord help me not to preach this there's a certain group of people that have kept my Commandments that's a prous promise there's a certain group of people he said there's a certain church (1:15:00) not every church but there is a certain people that kept my Commandments to those people I make you a promise when evil comes to the earth I will keep you amen I will protect you when that evil comes Hallelujah let's read Revelation 12:9 and the Great Dragon was cast out that old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceives the whole world he was cast out into the Earth and his angels were cast out with him now read verse 13 through verse 14 and when the dragon saw that he was cast under the Earth he persecuted the woman which (1:15:54) brought forth the men this is going to be the Great Tribulation this is when Satan will begin to persecute God's Church read he's already started it if you don't shut your church down they'll arrest you now put you in prison it just happened to one of my friends the persecution has begun read and to the woman were given two wings of a great Eagle that she might fly into the Wilderness into her place where she is nourished go ahead where she is nourished for a time in times in half a time from the face of the (1:16:37) serpent the serent do you know what times times and half a times is that's three and a half years the church is going to be attacked by the by the Great Tribulation when that happens God said I'm going to bring her to a secret place not in heaven but on the earth and I will protect her for three and a half years from this attack of the Dragon keep reading seems like we have a half year under our belts in the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood in the earth (1:17:20) help the woman in who helps the woman hold on who helps the woman the heavens are the Earth Earth the Earth helps the church the hiding place for the church will never be in heaven the hiding place for the church will be here on Earth keep reading and the Earth helped the woman and the Earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the flood which the Dragon cast out of his mouth so where according to this verse where will the church be brother Allan Morgan when this attack from the dragon comes will the church be on earth or in (1:18:03) heaven Earth on Earth on Earth we were told we would be in heaven that's right the Bible says that the Earth the church will be on earth now next question and we're almost done with today's Bible study folks we're getting close I'm going to try to keep us on track here so we can be done in the next 15 minutes the next question is who's going to return with Christ let's read Zechariah 14 4-5 the book of Zechariah 14 4-5 and his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives which is before Jerusalem on the east in the Mount of (1:18:53) Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the East and toward the west and there shall be and there shall be a very great valley and half of the mountain shall remov toward the North and half of it toward the South Now read verse five and ye shall flee to the Valley of the mountains for the Valley of the mountains shall reach unto AOL y ye shall flee like as ye fled before fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah and the Lord my God shall come in all the saints with you oh okay all (1:19:40) right the Lord shall come but who's coming with him and this is where people get it messed up it says the Saints are coming with Christ to the Mount of Olives that is going to be the 144,000 the government of Yahweh will return with Christ so in our minds we think that means that we're coming from heaven with Christ that's the problem remember what the book of Thessalonians taught us that the trumpet will sound yua will descend you and I will Ascend to meet the Lord where in the air for the first time and immediately after (1:20:29) that great gathering in the sky where does the bible say we do what does it say we do does it say yua takes us up or does he take us down to the Mount of Olives somebody answer that sister dot answer that for me does he take us up to heaven or do we descend with him to the Mount of Olives we are going to be coming down not yes yes woo it's that simple so when people read that verse The Rapture Theory they say see it says he's coming with his Saints Auntie they assume we're coming out of Heaven all right now let's let's mute (1:21:20) ourselves again all right let's read um 1 Thessalonians 3 and13 to the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in Holiness before God even our father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his Saints okay now let's read 1 Thessalonians 4:1 13-14 but I would not have you be ignorant Brethren concerning them which are asleep that you sorrow not even as others which have no hope for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him all right now (1:22:07) Jesus Christ when he returns to the Mount of Olives will not be by himself his government will be with him what government those that are asleep right now as we talk in the graves and hopefully some of you that are alive and and remain now let's read verse 15 through verse 17 for this we say unto you by the word of the Lord that we which are alive and remain under the coming of the Lord shall not preced them which are asleep for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the Archangel let's pause right there let's (1:22:51) follow this timeline the Rapture people said to you and I see it says he's coming with his Saints now what does that tend to make us think that evidently the Saints must have been in heaven with him to come back with him but according to the verse she's reading right now yua shall descend from heaven alone what does it say yua himself it's only him at this moment he he went up by himself he's coming down by himself now keep reading uh with the voice of the Archangel and with the Trump of God in the dead in Christ Christ shall rise (1:23:42) first now when he comes down himself underline that word himself he's coming by him at that moment you and I which are alive let's say it was to happened today you and I that are alive right now will rise to meet him in the atmosphere that way he can display us to the whole world as the future government of planet Earth he can introduce us to every Queen and every King tell him to move over we're coming down to bring this nation back to righteousness this whole world so we're he comes by himself we come up to meet him and then what (1:24:27) happens sister read then we which are alive and remain shall be cut up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air for the first time keep reading and so shall we ever be with the Lord now when we meet him in the air we're going to ever be with him so the question now is does the Bible tell us where he's going right after he meets us yes it does and according to that verse wherever he's going is where we shall forever be oh it's about to get good that called a post Tri Rapture uh yes yes ma'am yes ma'am yes (1:25:16) ma'am we do believe in the Rapture which is simply the catching up of the Saints to meet the Lord in the air we don't believe in a pre- of rapture okay now read where 1 Thessalonians 4 uh I'm sorry let's read Zechariah 14 and4 one more time and see where yua is going to go after we meet him and where you and I are going to forever be read Zechariah 14 and4 and his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives all right so once we meet him in the air he brings us down to the Mount of Olives read which is before Jerusalem on the (1:26:05) East and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof to the east that's good enough we've already read that but I want to point something out the Mount of Olives is where in Jerusalem Hallelujah to God the Jesus according to this verse Jesus Christ is bringing you and I down to Jerusalem that's where headquarters is going to be of Earth's new government when he brings us down according to his word there we shall ever forever be that's why John saw the New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven and settles upon the Earth you (1:26:53) and I will be be in that Jerusalem and we somebody say shall forever be there that's what the Bible said forever we shall be wherever he brings us to at that moment let's pick up at Revelations 5 And1 and then Revelation 20 and 4 and we're almost done okay Revelation 5 5 and 10 and then Revelations 20 and 4 okay I'm almost there give me a sec oh that's right Desiree we shall forever be there that's so plain it's as plain as the nose on your face Revelation 510 and H has made us under our God Kings and Priests and we (1:27:40) shall reign on the earth whoa whoa whoa I thought we were going to heaven what do you mean we shall rain on the earth folks say that's what the Bible says I don't know what your church says but that's what your Bible says let's read Revelation 20 and4 okay and I saw Thrones and they that sat upon them and judgment was given unto them and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God in which had not worshiped the Beast neither his image neither had received his Mark upon their (1:28:28) foreheads or in their hands and they lived in reign with Christ a thousand years on the earth ladies and gentlemen that is your destiny that is the purpose of your birth this says that I saw Thrones see how many's ever thought there was going to be one throne in heaven no no

well that's not what Jesus would say according to these verses when he comes back he's coming back like you've never imagined him y'all better put your little lollipop Jesus up that one died on a cross do you hear me your little lollipop Jesus died on a cross your little flipr wristed one that the church loves to preach about he died on a cross that ain't the one coming back let's move quickly so we can end let's go to Revelation 19 And1 let's fast forward there sister I'm (1:34:34) sorry that's okay you said Revelation 19 and 11 let's see when he comes back what he's coming back to do and the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses clothed in fine linen white and clean and what are they coming to do read the next verse and out of his mouth goes a sharp sword that which it that with it he should Smite the Nations and Jesus Christ coming back to do is he coming back to gather you on his lap all the world and coddle them and cuddle them and love on them what's Jesus coming back to (1:35:20) do just read that verse he's coming to make war with the whole [Music] world I don't know what Jesus you're serving but the one I'm serving he ain't happy with what's happening on planet Earth in America he's not happy and he's coming back to open his mouth the Bible said when he returns to open his mouth that the skin will fall off of people's [Music] bones are you preparing for the day of God or are you somewhere just worshiping him are you are you how do I prepare are you walking in his Commandments are you (1:36:02) walking in obedience then you're not preparing have you believed the LIE of the church that it's all Grace and it's all love and it's all let me tell you you need to go watch my sermon I did last night called presenting Paul you don't even understand Paul's writings let's go finally let's close here with Revelation 11:18 why is God coming back to make war with the Nations read Revelations 11:18 and the nations were angry and thy wrath is come in the time of the Dead that they should be judged and that thou should give their give reward unto his (1:36:43) servants the prophets and to the Saints and them that fear thy name small and great and should destroy them which which destroy the Earth now hold on now oh it's fixing to get real interesting right here now y'all better put your seat belt on for this one cuz some of you is not going to agree with it and that's okay I love you anyway he's coming back to make war with those that destroy the Earth now think about that this scripture was written okay I need your attention you're not going to lie like this but it's going to make you (1:37:26) think that scripture was written 2,000 years ago before we ever had carbon emissions before we ever had gasoline vehicles before we ever had climate change and yet John said there was people destroying the Earth at that time how could that be they were just ragtag people they didn't even have electricity you're not going to like the answer and I'm not going to teach you on it today I'm just going to leave you hanging with it because every time you eat an unclean animal you are destroying the Earth God created those animals to (1:38:13) purify the Earth the oceans the barnyards these animals and he said in the book of Jeremiah that when he returns anybody eating pigs flesh he was going to judge them okay I'll go on there but in case you ever wondered I'll teach you on it on another day if you don't like that part just stay with me it's okay this is a narrow way very few can walk it oh brother Von God showed Peter no he didn't God didn't show Peter nothing you think he showed him quit believing these ly preachers go watch my YouTube video about Peter's vision in the book (1:38:51) of Acts had nothing to do with unclean animals anyway all right praise God I get so mad at how deceived God's people are all right let's let's close it out with one final verse Revelation 17 I'm gonna have to go cuz I got some folks mad at me right now about them pigs Revelation 17 and 14 these shall make war with the lamb and the lamb shall overcome them amen the Nations the nations are going to do what they're go to war with Jesus Christ God World War III nuclear bombs going off and here comes this Alien Invasion (1:39:34) and according to this verse the nations of this world will turn their weapons to the Messiah but what's the rest of the story read it sister and the limb shall overcome them for he is for he is Lord of lords and king of kings and they that are with him are called and chosen and faithful W hold on the only ones that's going to be with him is not those that say they believe in Jesus oh no no no it's going to be the faithful oh my God wo it's not going to be those that went and got saved it's going to be the faithful those that obeyed his (1:40:15) Commandments whatever he said to do I feel the anointing right now that's when I oh Hallelujah that's when I know God speaking to somebody that's when I know somebody's Hearing in the spirit somebody's picking up what I'm putting down because the Holy Ghost is calling you to faithfulness today when Jesus Christ is setting up his government he's only setting it up with faithful obedient Saints amen I pray you understand this subject better I'm going to take five questions total because y'all worned me out today if you have a question raise (1:40:54) your hand and let's go through them quickly Jennifer hey um hello Jennifer hi Shane or Pastor Von or Toto just call me for dinner darling whenever that is did you say I mean I know about the unclean animal and oh Lord how did I know how did I know I no no give me a second where was it at I just know for myself because we we are doing the Sabbath and this is all because we've been we've been just following you and we started yes and when we started doing the Sabbath let me tell you what it was not easy no ma' but but we're here now (1:41:40) and praise Yahweh where do you live Springville Indiana well honey that's a short little Drive y'all come see us real soon so was that in Jeremiah or our scripture reader I believe that was Revelation 17 wasn't it our scripture reader about those that destroy the Earth um it was Revelation the last verse I read was 1714 that's it that's it Revelation 17:14 Jennifer okay but you said something about Jeremiah I don't remember mentioning Jeremiah you mentioned Peter I don't think we mentioned Jeremiah Miss Armstrong Jeremiah wasn't (1:42:28) it Pastor she's talking about the you did mention Jer okay gonna kill those when he comes back eating pork Oh Lord y'all G Y'all Gonna Make me deal with this today hallelujah praise the Lord I'll get you the exact verse darling hold on one second I did mention Jeremiah I apologize see I'm not losing it I know it huh I am it is uh let's see here we've been talking about bacon in the chat line is it Jeremiah 224 oh I tell you what I'm sorry it's not Jeremiah it's Isaiah I apologize 66:17 and it says um they that sanctify (1:43:16) themselves and purify themselves and those that are eating swine's flesh shall be consumed at the coming of the Lord because because the swiac don't taste that good no ma'am because the swine clean up God's Earth and when you eat those why do you think our oceans are destroyed ladies and gentlemen it's not because of climate change it's because we ate all the shrimp out of it it's we ate everything out of it that was cleaning it we're destroying the Earth that's a revelation right there scales and fins scales and fins that's (1:43:56) it all right next question thank you Jennifer y'all hang in there darling okay all right keep praying for my son yes you're welcome DOD you're next H okay uh Revelations 12 and 14 all right it mentions that the woman was given two wings of an eagle to fly into the Wilderness um there's a move of people now that's moving to Israel they feel they have to flee Into the Wilderness to Petra I'm familiar with it okay what do you say to them I I I say to them that they are being too carnal minded and I don't mean that in a bad I'm not trying (1:44:39) to be ugly but um there is no way that all of God's elect can move to the mountains in Petra there's there's thousands and thousands of us many of us don't have the finances to go there I believe that that is a euphemism that was for those Jews that were there in ad70 because they lived right by Petra the mountains in Jerusalem but now there's going to be a supernatural protection right where we live because remember in the Book of Revelation he said go and seal my servants in their foreheads so that they not be harmed in the day of trouble amen (1:45:25) so I believe wherever we are sister dot we're going to walk around in a supernatural protection that's why I'm not afraid of Co Hallelujah all right thank you you're welcome's next I know I have many questions but the last one for now um how about the temple the Jewish people are W waiting to build if it says that we're gonna be governing and um Mount Olive which is right right well Mount of Olives is a euphemism for Jerusalem okay um I believe the third temple of God is already being built it's you and I we are the Third Temple (1:46:07) and this Holy Temple is the people of Yahweh the Jewish people are blinded the Bible says they are and I thank God that they are because without their blindness we would not be grafted into Israel so they're building all they know because they're still carnal-minded did you see what I just wrote we are eating clean now and it's easier than you may think and you may feel better next question for those of you that are watching I want to thank you all many of you have joined the Patriots

long time thank you for your faithfulness pray you get to feeling better sister and little Thomas amen sister Rosie God bless you you're next I just have a comment when when we were reading in John 1715 actually kept reading and because it's you were talking about uh protection it says Thou sh keep them from Evil and then Jesus says they are not of the world even as I am not of the world in the next verse I must have read that a (1:52:09) thousand time a hundred times in my life sanctify them through thy truth Thy word is truth and that finally made sense to me wow because the word hearing the word it's if it's if if you don't love the TR I heard a phrase the mouth craves truth when the belly is full of lies and when and I heard that from the movie Ali I was watching that movie Ali I like that yeah the the mouth craves truth when the belly is full of lies and if people don't if they if they want to know the truth and they do hear the word of God (1:52:49) that is true I believe then they'll be sanctified and that's what's going to save people when they hear the word of God and that's something that I talk about all the time is the word of God whether and I you know whether they like it or not like you like to say whether you like me or not sure sure and what you just said is so powerful we will be protected because we know the word of God and because we're studying these things we will find protection right there sister Maxine good morning good morning sh Shalom Pastor (1:53:24) Shalom I just wanted to say that to let folks know that I was a very lost person and that I too even though I studied the the Bible and religion for a while that I went and got lost because I was lost in the process of trying to figure out they were trying to shove the Trinity down my throat and I couldn't understand it and the only way I finally figured it out to even try was just to say there's God and that's it it yeah because that question that you answered for me a long time ago was about thou shall only were (1:54:01) thatou shall have no other guy before me and over the time since I've been following you've been answering questions left and right for me and it's made me into such a better person amen thank you sister Maxine but the thing has happened that you know the devil twist religion so much to the point that he'll he'll answer questions for you to leave you astray he's real good at it that's right and when I got you I was heading in the way of Hinduism because I couldn't get answers and he was leading me but then what happened (1:54:36) was for me was that I was downhearted by the election and I got led to your video wow and then from that video I got led to your preaching and I remember you saying you're not like my religion you might not be in my preaching you might not handle it you might need you tell us do you said don't go there and I was like if it's if he tells me not to go there I'm going you don't think I didn't know what I was doing don't want me to see so I'm so happy I went there and I and I want to let everyone know that truth is there and to make sure we keep (1:55:21) our heart and our mind open because truth will answer our questions amen and you are a blessed person that I call you the voice of Elijah because God revealed that to me yesu my first night at the church showed himself to me and blessed you right in front of me and that's why I follow you with all thank you sister Maxine sister Maxine lives in New Orleans she gets to our church every weekend y'all know how sister magazine gets to church you know how she comes to the Sabbath let me tell you she gets on a she gets on a train and rides from New (1:56:00) Orleans to our church every Sabbath day that's how precious this dear lady is what I do is I do this pastor I go to slide down and I take an Uber from slide down into Waveland and I wait to get to church I love it for the bishop and everybody I don't know I I pray every day but what I wanted to say thank you you answered a question for me amen thank you sister Maxine precious saint of Yahweh love you darling sister Jennifer go ahead and this will be our last question just this real quick you're you're recording this where are (1:56:38) these at on my YouTube Chanel on the on your YouTube channel yes ma'am all right everybody subscribe to the YouTube channel if I didn't preach this truth I would have as many subscribers as Brad Barton but I preach some very offensive truth that a lot of people they don't take time to listen to and they just you know but I believe if the Holy Spirit has drawn you to our ministry that you'll know it you'll know it you'll just know it so God bless you everyone we love you one more question go ahead go ahead v v are you g to your (1:57:21) your hands raised oh Vash go ahead yes sir hi can you can you hear me well yes sir all right so the the the really interesting thing is that um like me studying physics and um knowing technology and so on uh it's it's interesting how uh much of religion with some fantasy could could uh fit science if you're thinking sence as in science fiction that's right which um I don't take lightly if I put it that way uh but uh but regardless for regardless from this um I would like to um uh since I followed the uh the situation and I have um done my own (1:58:16) analysis of of what I what I consider being truth um I uh I I can offer to um uh like you were saying uh Professor van about um about saying uh uh saying what was it offensive truths uh I've I've have no I have no problem of speaking about the controversial stuff um good and uh and there there is quite a lot of it to say uh although uh I don't um I don't have the same point of view as everyone else in all matters and and this is um it's slightly different from uh me coming from physics and science to people coming from pure (1:59:12) religion you know V I've always said that science and the word of God they go perfect together yeah and that's that's much of what I've uh what I've discovered that the religion is based on a lot of facts and logic and science let me I'll give you an example for for years hundreds of years science said that the Earth was square that was scientific fact and the entire time the Bible said that the Earth was round it was a globe or you know the Bible said he sits on the circle I'm sorry the circle of the Earth the science will always prove the (1:59:49) word of God it will never disprove it now it might disprove disprove our interpretation of it for example many people read Genesis and they think the Earth is only 6,000 years old well that's Insanity the Earth is possibly billions of years old the problem comes in when you misinterpret Genesis 1 and one Genesis 1 and 2 at our ministry we know better we know that science and the word of God agree as long as it's not so-called science as long as it's true science vaj where are you from well um originally I'm Slavic more (2:00:36) specifically Russian yes but uh I'm also Swedish wonderful well welcome God bless you today folks I'm getting a little weak so I'm going to have to go I love every one of you God bless you shabbat shalom home and come see us real soon goodbye everybody tell everybody you love them come on love you bye bye good night Goode goodbye byal love from the family

Summary

1. The neglected hope of Messiah's return (00:00–06:15) Vaughn opens by asking participants about their beliefs concerning the rapture. He observes that many Christians expect a secret disappearance before the tribulation. He criticizes churches for concentrating on prosperity and personal fulfillment while giving insufficient attention to the second coming. He reads John 14:3 and repeatedly emphasizes Yeshua's promise to return. He argues that genuine belief requires preparing for the fulfillment of that promise. 2. The manner of Messiah's return (06:15–10:27) The class reads Acts 1:11, which states that Yeshua will return in the manner in which he ascended. Vaughn surveys postmillennialism, preterism, and the popular secret-rapture theory. He explains the two-phase model of a secret removal followed by a public return, then states that he no longer accepts it. 3. The development of secret-rapture teaching (10:27–14:35) Vaughn argues that a separate secret return creates an additional coming of Messiah. He discusses Darby, the Plymouth Brethren, Scofield, and later popular prophecy teachers. He maintains that the doctrine is relatively recent and should be evaluated against scripture rather than accepted because of its popularity. 4. The thief in the night and the watching church (14:35–23:22) The class reads 1 Thessalonians 5:2–6, Revelation 16:15, and Matthew 24:42–44. Vaughn teaches that the thief imagery concerns surprise rather than invisibility. He distinguishes the spiritually sleeping world from believers who remain watchful. He argues that Yahweh's annual holy days provide recurring prophetic reminders and criticizes churches that emphasize emotional worship without prophetic preparation. He also discusses famine and pestilence as signs requiring attention. 5. The visible gathering of the elect (23:22–29:36) Matthew 24:30–31 describes Messiah appearing in glory and gathering the elect with a great trumpet. Vaughn asks participants whether this event could reasonably be described as secret. The class then reads 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17. He emphasizes the shout, archangel's voice, trumpet, resurrection, and catching up of the saints as elements of one public event. 6. The problem of a separate earlier gathering (29:36–35:41) Vaughn challenges the idea that believers are taken to heaven years before the second coming. He argues that this creates difficulties when compared with the resurrection sequence in 1 Thessalonians 4. During discussion, a participant recalls an earlier lesson in which Vaughn taught that the destiny of believers is not permanent residence in heaven but participation in the kingdom on Earth. 7. Every eye will see him (35:41–43:30) The class reads Matthew 24:26–27 and Revelation 1:7. Vaughn emphasizes the comparison with lightning visible across the sky and the declaration that every eye will see Messiah. He also discusses the radiant description of Messiah in Revelation 1:16. Zechariah 14:4 introduces the Mount of Olives as the earthly destination of Messiah's return. 8. Resurrection and transformation at the trumpet (43:30–50:18) Vaughn returns to 1 Thessalonians 4:15–17. He asks participants to identify when deceased and living believers meet Messiah. He reads 1 Corinthians 15:51–52 and emphasizes that the transformation into incorruptibility occurs at the last trumpet. He rejects the idea of an earlier secret resurrection. 9. The seventh trumpet and the kingdom (50:18–53:57) The class reads Revelation 11:15 and Revelation 11:18. Vaughn interprets the seventh trumpet as marking the beginning of Messiah's millennial government. He connects the thousand-year reign with the seventh millennium and teaches that the saints will receive positions of responsibility. He then introduces the question of how believers will survive the tribulation if they remain on Earth. 10. Protection rather than removal (53:57–58:51) Vaughn teaches that Yahweh's dealings with his people follow consistent patterns. He discusses Noah, Lot, Israel during the Egyptian plagues, and believers during the destruction of Jerusalem. He argues that these examples demonstrate protection during judgment rather than removal to heaven. The class reads Matthew 24:21, 29–30, which he interprets as establishing the tribulation before Messiah's return. 11. Preparing for worldwide trouble (58:51–1:07:29) Vaughn warns that believers expecting a pre-tribulation escape may not be prepared for hardship. He encourages food storage and other practical preparations. Participants ask how to discuss the rapture with people holding different beliefs. Vaughn recommends asking questions based on scripture instead of engaging in hostile arguments. 12. The flight into the mountains (1:07:29–1:10:30) The class reads Matthew 24:15–20. Vaughn discusses the abomination of desolation, the instruction to flee, and the warning concerning the Sabbath. He interprets the passage as having an application to the destruction of Jerusalem and a future fulfillment during greater tribulation. He teaches that the purpose of the warning is preparation for protection on Earth. 13. Yeshua's prayer for protection (1:10:30–1:14:17) The class reads John 17:15. Vaughn emphasizes that Yeshua prays for his followers to be kept from evil rather than removed from the world. He considers this passage a major argument against the pre-tribulation escape doctrine. A participant also discusses her religious background and her efforts to understand scripture. 14. The faithful church and the wilderness refuge (1:14:17–1:18:03) Revelation 3:10 is read as a promise of preservation during a worldwide trial. The class then reads Revelation 12, including the dragon's persecution of the woman and her protection in the wilderness. Vaughn interprets the three-and-a-half-year period as a future time of persecution. He emphasizes that the Earth helps the woman and concludes that the protected church remains on Earth. 15. The saints returning with Messiah (1:18:03–1:26:53) The class reads Zechariah 14:4–5 and 1 Thessalonians 3:13. Vaughn addresses the argument that saints accompanying Messiah must already have been living in heaven. He explains his proposed sequence: Messiah descends, the dead rise, living believers join them in the air, and the gathered saints descend with him to the Mount of Olives. He identifies Jerusalem as the headquarters of the coming kingdom. 16. The saints' millennial government (1:26:53–1:29:13) Revelation 5:10 and Revelation 20:4 describe the saints reigning and occupying thrones. Vaughn teaches that the saints' destiny is to govern on Earth with Messiah. He connects these positions with the 144,000 and presents kingdom service as the purpose of human birth. 17. The heavenly armies and the wrath of the Lamb (1:29:13–1:34:34) The class reads Mark 8:38, Revelation 19, Revelation 6:15–17, and Zephaniah 1:14–15. Vaughn distinguishes the heavenly armies from the saints, identifying the armies as angels. He describes the day of Yahweh as a period of judgment and conflict. Zephaniah 2:2–3 is used to emphasize seeking righteousness and meekness in order to be hidden during divine anger. 18. Messiah's victory over rebellious nations (1:34:34–1:40:54) Vaughn discusses Revelation 19:14–15 and Revelation 11:18. He teaches that Messiah returns to confront rebellious nations and establish righteous government. He introduces his interpretation of environmental destruction and unclean animals. The class concludes its main scriptural exposition with Revelation 17:14, emphasizing the Lamb's victory and the importance of being called, chosen, and faithful. 19. Dietary laws, refuge, and the temple (1:40:54–1:46:44) During questions, Vaughn corrects an earlier mistaken attribution to Jeremiah and identifies Isaiah 66:17 as the passage concerning swine's flesh. He teaches continued observance of biblical dietary restrictions. He also responds to questions about Petra, supernatural protection, and a future temple. He states that he regards the people of Yahweh as the temple being built, rather than focusing on a future physical third temple. 20. Testimonies and concluding discussion (1:46:44–end) Participants share experiences of changing their religious beliefs through Bible study. Vaughn discusses upcoming meetings and future lessons on the Antichrist. A participant returns to John 17 and emphasizes sanctification through truth. The final discussion addresses science, scripture, and the age of the Earth. Vaughn rejects the assumption that Genesis necessarily teaches a six-thousand-year-old planet. He closes by encouraging continued study, faithfulness, and fellowship.

Core doctrine

Pastor Shane Vaughn teaches that the church's central message must be the promised return of Yeshua the Messiah and the establishment of Yahweh's kingdom on Earth. He argues that the church has become distracted by messages of prosperity, happiness, and personal success while neglecting the expectation of Messiah's return. He emphasizes that genuine faith in the second coming must be demonstrated through preparation, obedience, and watchfulness rather than verbal profession alone. Vaughn identifies John 14:3 as a foundational promise in which Yeshua assures his followers that he will return. He connects this promise with Acts 1:11, which states that Messiah will return in the manner in which he ascended. He interprets these passages as teaching a personal, visible, physical return from heaven rather than a secret or invisible event. He rejects the doctrine of a secret, pre-tribulation rapture in which believers disappear from Earth before a period of worldwide suffering. He explains that he formerly believed this doctrine but abandoned it after examining the scriptures. He argues that a secret removal followed by a later public appearing would effectively divide Messiah's return into two separate events. In his interpretation, the New Testament presents one future second coming rather than two phases separated by years. Vaughn discusses the historical development of pre-tribulation rapture teaching. He associates its modern popularization with John Nelson Darby, the Plymouth Brethren, the Scofield Reference Bible, and later evangelical prophecy teachers. He contends that the earliest church did not teach the modern secret-rapture doctrine. These are his historical claims; the development of Christian rapture interpretations is more complex than the simplified account presented in the sermon. He teaches that the expression "thief in the night" concerns the unexpected timing of Messiah's return for people who are spiritually unprepared, not the invisibility of his arrival. He bases this interpretation on 1 Thessalonians 5:2–6, emphasizing Paul's distinction between those living in darkness and the children of light who remain awake and watchful. He connects this teaching with Revelation 16:15 and Matthew 24:42–44. Vaughn maintains that observing Yahweh's appointed holy days helps believers recognize prophetic patterns. He identifies Passover, Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles, and the Last Great Day as recurring reminders of Yahweh's redemptive plan. He argues that abandoning these observances has contributed to spiritual complacency within Christianity. He teaches that the faithful may recognize the season and signs of Messiah's return, while acknowledging that the exact hour is unknown. He places 1 Thessalonians 4:15–17 at the center of his teaching about the gathering of the saints. He emphasizes that the Lord descends with a shout, the voice of the archangel, and the trumpet of Yahweh. The dead in Messiah rise first, and living believers are then caught up together with them to meet him in the air. Vaughn accepts this catching up as a real future event but rejects its separation from the visible second coming. He reinforces this interpretation through Matthew 24:30–31, 1 Corinthians 15:51–52, and Revelation 1:7. He teaches that the gathering occurs when Messiah appears in glory, the trumpet sounds, and the dead are raised. He argues that the public nature of these events contradicts the idea of a quiet disappearance before the tribulation. He identifies the resurrection and transformation of the saints with the last trumpet. Vaughn connects the trumpet of resurrection with Revelation 11:15 and the establishment of Messiah's earthly kingdom. He interprets the seventh trumpet as marking the transition from the present age into the millennial reign. He further associates this transition with a seven-thousand-year prophetic pattern, viewing the millennium as a seventh-day period of rest and kingdom government. This chronological association is part of his interpretive framework rather than an explicit identification made by every passage he cites. He teaches that the great tribulation precedes the visible return of Messiah. He relies particularly on Matthew 24:21, 29–31, emphasizing the phrase "immediately after the tribulation." He warns that believers expecting removal before worldwide trouble may be spiritually and practically unprepared for persecution, famine, and other hardships. He encourages preparation while maintaining that Yahweh can preserve his people through the coming crisis. Vaughn distinguishes between experiencing tribulation and being the object of Yahweh's wrath. He teaches that believers may remain on Earth during judgment without suffering the same fate as those against whom judgment is directed. He supports this distinction through the examples of Noah during the flood, Lot during the destruction of Sodom, Israel during the Egyptian plagues, and believers who escaped the destruction of Jerusalem. These historical narratives are used as analogies for future divine protection. He regards John 17:15 as especially important because Yeshua prays that his followers not be taken out of the world but be kept from evil. Vaughn applies this prayer to the question of the rapture, teaching that Yahweh's intention is protection rather than premature removal. He also interprets Revelation 3:10 as a promise that a faithful, commandment-keeping people will be preserved during the coming worldwide trial. Vaughn interprets the woman of Revelation 12 as representing Yahweh's church or covenant people. He identifies the dragon as Satan and understands the woman's flight into the wilderness as a prophecy of protection during a three-and-a-half-year period of persecution. He emphasizes that the Earth helps the woman, arguing that the place of refuge must therefore be earthly rather than heavenly. He allows for supernatural protection where believers already live rather than requiring every believer to relocate to one geographical refuge. He teaches that Messiah's return has a definite earthly destination: the Mount of Olives near Jerusalem. He uses Zechariah 14:4–5 to argue that the saints, having met Yeshua in the air, will descend with him to Earth rather than accompany him away to heaven. He interprets the promise of remaining forever with the Lord as consistent with sharing in Messiah's earthly reign. Vaughn teaches that the resurrected saints will serve as kings and priests in the government of Yahweh. He cites Revelation 5:10 and Revelation 20:4 to emphasize reigning on Earth and participating in the thousand-year kingdom. He associates the 144,000 with this governmental body, interpreting the saints' future responsibilities as the fulfillment of the purpose of their birth. The identification of all these ruling saints specifically with the 144,000 is his theological interpretation. He distinguishes the saints from the armies of heaven that accompany Messiah in the final conflict. Drawing upon Mark 8:38 and Revelation 19:14–15, he identifies the heavenly armies as angels rather than resurrected believers. He teaches that the saints are appointed to govern, while the angels participate in the military defeat of rebellious nations. This distinction reflects his reading of the passages, although Revelation 19 does not explicitly identify every member of the heavenly armies in the manner he proposes. Vaughn expects the return of Messiah to include judgment upon rebellious world powers. He connects Revelation 6:15–17, Zephaniah 1:14–15, and Revelation 17:14 with a worldwide confrontation between the nations and the Lamb. He relates this conflict to a future world war and speculates that modern nations could misunderstand heavenly manifestations as an alien invasion. These contemporary applications and predictions should be distinguished from the wording of the biblical passages themselves. He emphasizes that participation in Messiah's government requires faithfulness, holiness, and obedience. He interprets Revelation 17:14 as identifying the people who accompany the Lamb as called, chosen, and faithful. He repeatedly teaches that professing belief is insufficient without obedience to Yahweh's commandments. In his theology, Sabbath observance and the biblical dietary laws remain important expressions of covenant faithfulness. Vaughn also connects Revelation 11:18 with the destruction of the Earth and extends the passage to dietary practices. He argues that consuming animals prohibited by biblical dietary laws contributes to environmental destruction because certain creatures perform cleansing functions within creation. He cites Isaiah 66:17 concerning the judgment of those eating swine's flesh. His environmental explanation is a distinctive interpretive claim and is not established by the cited verses as a scientific conclusion. He concludes that believers must study scripture carefully, test inherited religious traditions, and prepare to remain faithful through adversity. He urges listeners to replace unexamined assumptions with direct engagement with the biblical text. The sermon ultimately presents the hope of the church not as escape from Earth but as resurrection, transformation, protection through tribulation, and participation in the righteous government of Messiah.
