God's gottcha honey!

Dude! I've been on and off weed for 18 years and just 8 days ago quit and started going to a 12 step group. Cool! Keep it up bro! It's super important to be in a local church and be accountable to others who can pray for you and encourage you.

Right on Jeremy!! I quit weed for good last year after exactly 20years of daily/all day use...gotta consciously give each day to the Lord!! I never realized how big of a wall herb & or drinks put up between us and the Holy Spirit...plus weed & alcohol are doors for the enemy to use at his leisure. Well done brother & God bless!!!

Amen bro!! Glory to God

Bro post your journey; you on insta?

Have you found a Church yet?

Me too! My former SBC church has steadily gone the way of 'woke' SJW churches with watered down preaching.

Your body is your temple your church ,iv never had a church but i can read and understand, go to god with a pure heart and ask for knowledge, he will send you the holy spirit to guide you through the scriptures!

Me as well:)

@@randycadkins not yet. Pls keep praying for me

You get SO MUCH from just one message! its such a blessing!

It probably helps that their church service is at 4pm. People already ate and don’t have their empty stomachs nagging at them lol

@@farmerpete0768 I didn't know their service was at that time, that's a pretty good time to have service! Do you know if they just have the one service?

roger mathews, I’m not 100% sure. My gut says just the one, but that’s just from the clues and details I’ve picked up from watching them for 2 years

I always say that people are free to leave preaching whenever they wish. I could listen to my pastor a lot longer than the 35 minutes he preaches. That's when I love these sermons on YT that I can listen to at work.

Do you know who would be the anti christ under this interpretation? Not an individual? Genuinely curious. I see this viewpoint making a ton of sense too, but other parts of scripture come to mind that I’m not sure how to reconcile yet.

@@LaurenCombsArt you should look into r.c. Sprout explaining it. There’s a series on Amazon prime

@@LaurenCombsArt Check out, Douglas Wilsons perspective on the Antichrist, very interesting! This video: "Identity of the Antichrist: DA Carson VS Doug Wilson" was very helpful, start it from 3:59 if you are not interested in DA Carsons view

@@LaurenCombsArt Dr Kenneth Gentry is a great source... He comes to the same conclusion as Gary Demar (uncle Gary :) and our dear departed RC Sproul ....... You can find them all on KZfaq. And David Chilton’s Days of Vengeance is a wonderful exposition of Revelation.. EDIT: Professor Bruce Gore also has a verse by verse study on Revelation.. All these wonderful men of God interpret the scriptures using audience relevance as their hermeneutic.. God bless you in your quest for truth ❤️🙏🏽

@@LaurenCombsArt The Beast from Revelation is Nero Caesar, he is also the Man of Lawlessness. The antiChrist was a doctrinal tendency within a church, only found in 4 passages throughout the Bible in 1John 2:18, 22; 4:3; and 2 John 7. The antiChrist was a 1st century thing, it was not a single person.

Agree...western christianity is utterly saturated with dispensationalism.

Trail Reeves hallelujah brother love you in the name of Jesus Christ ♥️♥️♥️

Halleluyah my friend!

pamela bruce hallelujah sister . I love you in the name of Jesus Christ ♥️♥️

Amen.. what a blessing to see the way the Lord is using Apologia.

The desolations of abomination has to do with us in the last days. Not just about the Jews in the New Testament. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Daniel 12:11 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God 2 Thessalonians 2:4 There a lot more scriptures but Jeff interpretations is off. Abomination that maketh desolations has to do with us defining the house of God.

@@odefreitas18 The Temple is gone that Jesus pointed too. That is over. Titus was then being praised and worshiped in the Temple: Jospehus War 6 6-1, And now the Romans, upon the flight of the seditious into the city, and upon the burning of the holy house itself, and of all the buildings round about it, brought their ensigns to the temple, (18) and set them over-against its eastern gate. And there did they offer sacrifices to them: and there did they make Titus Imperator (19) with the greatest acclamations of joy In the Temple of the Holy God, now the Roman pagans are being worshipped - that is the abomination of desolation* 'his blood be upon us and our children'.

Wrong! Antiochus Epiphanes

Amen!!! I feel the exact same way.

WELL SAID. LEARNING TOGETHER INSTEAD OF MINDLESS CRITICISM

Daniel Unplugged by Daniel Frost. I challenge you to read it from cover to cover. It is way clearer

Dennis Vidot I love you too my brother in Christ Jesus hallelujah ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you soooo much!!!

Ryan Gallmeier, thanks for the comment. I’ll have to look into the Preterist system more to get a idea of what it’s all about.

Daniel Unplugged by Samuel Frost. Get the book

Satan is bound. Scripture to back it up: “But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can someone enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12:28-29‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭10:17-19‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Satan had a change in status at the resurrection. God is plundering his house & gathering in the elect.

BlazingLove3:16 - no he actually doesn't.

Dynamite Fresh - I didn't say he wasn't a good teacher, i just disagreed with the comment about his eschatology.

John Doe I’m not sure. At the “2nd coming,” the Dead rise first. From where? This is a question I still have. I assume we are in “Sheol.” But as to who greats us until the 2nd coming, the only analogy I’ve read in scripture is that of Lazarus the poor man, who is carried by the angels to Abraham’s side (Luke 16). What say you?

John Doe I understand it was a parable, but that’s how Jesus communicated truth to his Disciples. It’s what he said. Revelation 20:4&5 talks about those who had been persecuted for Christ, raised and reigning with him....and some were not raised. In verses 11-15 the rest await the White Throne Judgement...where are they?

John Doe That doesn’t change anything I’ve said. Those who were persecuted for Christ are the ones Revelation says are raised. A persecuted Christian wrote that to Early Apostolic Christians being persecuted...who have been raised according to Revelation. The rest have not. So, You still didn’t answer my question, where are the ones who were not and await the White Thrown Judgement?

@@JohnDoe-le8fy concerning the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man, plenty of things in parables can represent something else, but I do not know of a single parable that used made up things to relay a message. I.e. in the parable of the 10 Virgins in Matthew 25, the oil can be a metaphor for something (like justification) but oil is a real thing that is used to make the concept simpler. Jesus doesn't make up things for His parables, he uses real examples to illustrate a point. Likewise, I'd say unless you have really good reasons to the contrary, the idea of a real afterlife (Abraham's Bosom) was as real to the listeners of Jesus as oil and lamps were. If you disagree, can you give an example of a parable by Jesus that used non-real things? Or is this parable the only one?

John Doe Dude, it’s Revelation, not Revelation(s). I get it, you’re a full preterist. I understand the ages perfectly fine, and don’t arrive at your conclusions based on the text. You aren’t listening, so I’ll have to be done with this conversation. Have a good day.

Well said! I loved Pastor Jeff's teachings but he contradicted himself when he says (in another video) that there is no double fulfillment of prophecy concerning the antichrist and beast system but then in this video admitted that there is a double fulfillment of prophecy. It's not up to him to say what is and isn't double fulfillment or foreshadowing of prophecy. I wanted so badly to believe his pretorist story but when I unpacked it all and read between the lines and his ultra passionate way of gaslighting his congregation I was more than disappointed. Beware of 🐺s in 🐏s clothing. I have discerned him to be a wolf. You cannot read the scriptures honestly and teach this fantasy.

@@coko3124 I don't think I'd go that far. Pastor Jeff is just another human like the rest of us. And unfortunately, in the church, eschatology is possibly the most contested issue. Jeff still does believe we are saved by grace through faith. Definitely more Calvinist leaving, but he's a good guy.

@@UltraAwesomeSauce12 I certainly do not know his heart but it really troubled me when I saw him downplay conspiracy theories and the evil of freemasonry and freemasonry symbolism on his late night talk show and coming from Mormonism which I was in for 37 years I thought that our profit was a profit and was a good guy but there Is a lot that points to him actually being a Freemason or a part of that occult world.man So I never look on the outward appearance and I never judge people by the fruit that they love to show everybody.However, I do not know his heart but I err on the side of caution because that is what the Scripture tells us to do and is to be aware of wolves in sheep’s clothing and Paul mentions discerning of spirits.I honestly feel like giving this man who is in charge of a huge congregation of people The benefit of the doubt is very naive for me. I really liked his teachings at first but when I read the Bible it didn’t sit with me at all, eschatology wise, and I am super careful because of my experience in the Mormon church.

Well said!

Read Hebrews. The very idea of doing sacrifices is like sacrificing Christ again and again, which shows the idea of, "Jesus didn't do enough, he is insufficient." Often in the Old Testament you hear that God "Took no pleasure in sacrifices." Simply put, rebuilding a temple requires sacrifices, and such sacrifices are blasphemy against his finished work. This is repeated many times in the NT, while the idea of a rebuilt Temple and Levitical system Are NO WHERE to be found in the NT.

Funny thing is, you do the same thing. Your interesting and explains the texts from your understanding. Just like he is. If you going to come to a channel as a brother. Just post the passages and let them speak for themselves.. But don't divide over prophesy because I don't believe anyone knows exactly what will unfold. At least until we're in it or out of it. That is by God's design. All we get are signs and instructed to watch and be purifying ourselves in the meantime. The word teaches us to be of the same mind. Esteem others better than ourselves. Pray for one another and foremost love one another.

If you do a study on the history of Rome, you will see that Rome is divided into two separate historical periods: The Roman Republic; and The Roman Empire. They are NOT the same entity, though you could confuse them as such. The Roman Republic was the first iteration, run by the Senate. The Roman Empire was ruled by Caesar and broke the empire into ten provinces (ten toes), some provinces were as powerful as the former Roman Republic (iron) and some provinces were not (clay). This is the world into which the Messiah was born, and it was precisely as Daniel predicted it: The Roman Empire began in 27 BC, Jesus was born in 4 BC... Boom!!!

@@tstjohn777 You have just accused me of doing the same thing as Durbin and yet all I did was quote from Scripture. I pointed out that while Daniel describes 5 kingdoms, Durbin recognises only 4 kingdoms. How have I imposed my own story into the text? Then I copied the text that explains the actions of the Antichrist which clearly did not occur in AD70, though Durbin claims that the abomination of desolation did occur. How have I imposed my own story into the text? You say, “Just post the passages and let them speak for themselves.” Here are 2 passages - let them speak: Deut 4:30-31 “When you are in distress and all these things have come upon you, in the latter days you will return to the LORD your God and listen to His voice. “For the LORD your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them. Rom 11:25 For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery-so that you will not be wise in your own estimation-that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.” “THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.” I do not need to impose my story to the text, I let Scripture speak for itself. You say not to divide over prophecy. The division occurs when pastors teach error. Challenging error is not causing division; we are told to worship Him in Spirit and Truth. Both Paul and Jesus challenged error when the need arose. 1 John 3:3 And everyone who has this hope (meeting Him in the air) fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

@@laronwilburn304 An interesting comment although I am not sure it is deserving of a ‘boom’. The following statement was copied from vox.com. “The Roman Empire reached its greatest size under the reign of Trajan in 117 AD. To aid in administration, it was divided into provinces. The number of provinces changed over time as territories were gained or lost, and as larger provinces were divided into smaller ones. There were 46 provinces under Trajan, a figure that would grow to 96 by the reign of Diocletian.” The number of provinces changed over time and to claim there were 10 provinces only, representing the ten toes, is imposing your own story into the text, as well as wishful thinking. BOOM! Let the text speak - Ez 37 I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, I will make them one nation in the land and will cleanse them. And THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD. Jer 16:5 For I WILL RESTORE THEM TO THEIR OWN LAND which I gave to their fathers. Amos 9 I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit. I will also plant them on their land, AND THEY WILL NOT AGAIN BE ROOTED OUT FROM THEIR LAND Which I have given them, Says the LORD your God. Jer 3:17 At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘The Throne of the LORD,’ and ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE GATHERED TO IT, TO JERUSALEM, for the name of the LORD. Zeph 3 At that time I will bring you in, Even at the time when I gather you together; Indeed, I WILL GIVE YOU RENOWN AND PRAISE AMONG ALL THE PEOPLES OF THE EARTH, When I restore your fortunes before your eyes, Says the LORD. Jer 33 In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and HE SHALL EXECUTE JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS ON THE EARTH.” By a miracle, the Children of Israel have returned to their land, they have restored their language and culture and now everything is being put in place to rebuild the temple. All that is required now is to knock out Islam which will be accomplished by Ez 38. Keep an eye on the Middle East.

@@gregjay9933 I don't think there are 5 kingdoms in Daniel 2. No where in Daniel does it say there will be a 5th kingdom. It talks about a 4th kingdom which is made of iron and the feet are also made of partly iron and partly clay. I think its still talking about the 4th kingdom when he moves to the feet he doesn't follow the previous 4 kingdoms by naming them. So no Jeff is not wrong Daniel 2 only talks about 4 Kingdoms. I believe the clay mixed with Iron is Israel or the Jewish leaders in cahoots with Rome. Its interesting that in Jeremiah 18 "5 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 6 “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter has done? declares the Lord. Behold, like the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. 7 If at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it, 8 and if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I intended to do to it."

Which is after the destruction of the temple in 70AD. In our time now we can look back and see that this is a future event. I agree that it happened in the past as well but it will happen again but this time with the antichrist on the scene. The kingdom of God is within us but the heavenly kingdom we are waiting for is New Jerusalem. It’s an everlasting kingdom. There will be a new heaven and new earth.

Jeff Durbin believes that the book of revelation was written before 70 AD. I haven’t studied that in-depth, but I can see some legit points on both sides. I’ve heard Jeff recommend the book Before Jerusalem Fell by Kenneth Gentry, if you are interested in researching his perspective.

@@ghc9123 Whenever I read Revelation I’ve learned to let it speak for itself; without imposing any presupposition into the text... I firmly believe it was sent to the churches before 70AD to warn them all of impending judgement; the judgement Jesus prophesied in His Olivet Discourse with pinpoint accuracy...

@@lavieenrose5954 👍 I agree. Coming from a pre-mil dispensational church, I had a lot of questions that I never bothered looking into because no one else questioned, so I assumed I just didn’t get it. However, after being exposed to Durbin’s teaching, I began to actually study for myself, and I realized the inconsistency of my beliefs when confronted with scripture and church history. Eventually, I came to the same conclusion as you. Douglas Wilson’s book When the Man Comes Around was a big help to me in solidifying my views and explaining them to others. I would highly recommend it. Assuming you haven’t already read it.😁 Thanks for commenting, it’s encouraging to hear others coming to that conclusion. God bless!

That was God's good grace upon you! He is false teaching and doing you a disservice. The beast system is still very much in power and most major religions have been infiltrated by Tares (wolves in sheep's clothing) and they are all preparing their congregations to support the antichrist. By getting you to believe that everything is hunky dory and that the Book of Revelation was already fulfilled is to get you to let down your guard. Notice the 5 wise virgins kept looking for the Bridegroom to come and continually had their lamps full of oil. If you read the Bible with the Holy Spirit's teachings you can clearly discern false teachings.

@@coko3124 you don't know what your talking about, troll. If there are emphatic points Pastor Durbin pushes continually, it is to not let your guard down looking for a rapture escape and to keep fulfilling the Great Commission, making disciples and advancing the Gospel of Christ. He never lets up on that charge. You can't prove the great tribulation is a future event, but it could be, who knows and who cares, these are non-essentials, but u hold out the same hard-headed, haughty, dogmatic Jehovah's Witness-quality ignorance that drove me out of fundamental Pentacostalism.

@@slamtheleft we are to be always watching for the return of the bridegroom. To say that we only are waiting to be raptured and not fulfill the great commission is a lie. I live by every word that comes from the mouth of God and I do both. Jeff paints a picture that is false. You can look for Jesus to come again which the scriptures say is wise while fulfilling the great commission and oh fun fact about me is I left the Mormon church after 37 years, that is preparing its members to accept the Antichrist. I have bone chilling experiences with this and you best believe that understanding what is unfolding is important to pay attention to. God specifically told me to warn his people after telling me to read Matthew 24:26. I am not a troll. I am a watchman.

@@coko3124 well, good luck with these megalomanical proclamations. To say Jeff Durbin is a false teacher, false whatever, is absolutely delusional. His eschatological views make him a damnable heretic? You take yourself way to seriously, for one, and, I have yet to find anything from Apologia that even remotely suggests he is what you say he is. He is also spot-on with his pro-life ministry and his unabashedly pro-American, anti-Marxist political positions and teachings. He is not a godless barbarian heathen leftist, so maybe that offends you, too?

@@slamtheleft megalomaniac, interesting. I am not a pastor to thousands of people. God has told thousands like me that He is coming back and He will take His bride home. It is plain in His word. I have seen too many tares in the church and I don’t take myself seriously I take the Word of God seriously. I take eschatology seriously. It concerns me so many are asleep as to the coming of Christ. I don’t think you can honestly be a teacher and study the Bible and genuinely come to the conclusion that so many end time prophecy is just metaphorical. God speaks through His word and He is plain in His word where He says He is. This is the problem with the church they accept so many false doctrines because they see people like Jeff who do everything in public and everything on camera and say “look he is a good person” because they judge them by their public acts but I learned long ago that just because they look and act like sheep doesn’t mean they are. I have seen the apologia “late night show” they tried to launch of Jeff talking about conspiracy theories and really downplayed the evil of freemasonry. It made me sick watching it. I loved Jeff and his teachings especially since he witnessed to Mormons but he is teaching the church the same thing the Mormon church teaches its congregation and that is this “Just focus on the good, stay in your lane. What a lot of people fail to realize and put together is that the beast system has two parts and it talks about the whore of Babylon ruling the beast system but then that will be thwarted by another in the beast system but only because they want to give the power to the antichrist. It is very clear to me that this power that will rise up and destroy the whore of Babylon is going to appear as a good guy But we know from scripture it is a ravenous wolf. So when the whore of Babylon is destroyed and everybody cheers if you don’t read the Scriptures or if it hasn’t been interpreted to you plainly by your pastor or whoever the Bible teacher but really you should be reading it on your own then you’re not going to notice that this is not a good guy. But I promise you so many religions will be fooled because their pastors and their teachers are really wolves in sheep clothing as Jesus said they would be.

False. There’s very good internal & external evidence for the early dating of Revelation.

@@sarahd5341 The early church fathers said John was on Patmos during the reign of Domitian. This comes from Irenaeus, disciple of Polycarp who was the disciple of John. I don’t care about Roman eschatology derived from Origen 200 years after Irenaeus because he hated Jews and there was no nation of Israel or city of Jerusalem standing and he couldn’t harmonize the prophetic texts. Find better eschatology than recycled 1600 year old Roman Catholic AMillennialism the Reformers who also saw no literal Israel regathered one the land and Jerusalem rebuilt were too ignorant and lacking faith to challenge. The Bible says what it means.

@@thirdplace3973 I love your comment. Say it loudly. There's something deeply disturbing about this perspective. Hearing your voice on this confirms for me that it may have many points of weakness and is at its core, insidious in some sense.

I believe in the early date. I believe Revelation is God’s divine judgement on apostate Israel of the first century; God unleashed His wrath upon the wicked and perverse generation who killed the prophets and the Lord Jesus Christ.

@@lavieenrose5954 Then you need to pervert the scriptures like Origen did and allegorize everything.

Luke 21:24 is talking about the fall of Jerusalem, 70 A.D. Trampled under foot by the gentiles (Romans) and the time of the gentiles (Jewish world leadership has never existed since).

The tribulation (written of in the book of Revelation) lasts 7 years, and that is one "week" according to Daniels prophetic timeline, so I think the 70th week is yet to come.

@@laronwilburn304 But the Lord Jesus Christ did NOT say that the Kingdom of Israel would NOT occur later, only that the disciples would not know the times or seasons that the Father has set. (Acts 1:6-7)

You are adding a pause in the weeks that is NOWHERE in scripture. You are reading your personal belief into the text.

@@hokieham Let's test your assertion. Why did the Jews of the Lord Jesus Christ's time, including his disciples, believe that the Messiah was going to rule from David's throne at his coming? Again, check out Acts 1:6-7.

I have an even better preterist view from a book by Samuel Frost called “Daniel Unplugged.”

G.K. Beale's "Commentary on the New Testament Useful of the Old Testament" is one excellent book.

John McGough - Paradise Restored, Chilton and His follow up book Days of Vengeance is excellent

After a couple days of sitting on this, God brought me to Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” It is intentional that God wants us to search for Him. He wants us to be in community with Him, intimately aquatinted. The Holy Spirit convicted me of my lazy, half hearted pursuit of Him. #diggingin

"Last Days Madness" by Gary DeMar

Ellen White: The Great Controversy.

I believe it is a reference in his book on Postmillenialism which goes into Daniel 9. I would recommend reading Samuel Frost’s book “Daniel Unplugged.”

Book recommendation: Daniel Unplugged by Samuel Frost.

“Reformed” in the most precise endorsement here is a church that affirms something like the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689.

@@Biblecia thank you. I'll look up that reference.

God was never and will ever be cut off. This is all his plan and he is in control of all things. Jesus was cut off by his death by not physically being on earth. The Holy Spirit is not removed. Consider these verses: Mark 13:19 and Daniel 12:1. Michael is the angel that protects God’s people. It appears as if when he stands we have trouble like never before or ever shall be. This is a time of great tribulation when satan makes war with the saints all the way through the wrath of God. No matter how hard it has been in our time or in the past could possibly equal that time to come. As for your question about how it will it end for the true believers.... beautifully!!!
