Part of the problem is the proliferation of so called "study bibles" with their own theological biases. When I was in Bible College there was a joke about a particular study bible: "Genesis by Schofield, footnotes by Moses"!

Bought the Apocalypse Code, over 10 years ago and it is highlighted, and notes in the margin, I love how you always direct our attention to wha the Bible says about, what the Bible says. First reading was tough but subsequent readings it becomes more evident, just as the ,ore I read the Bible more I learn the whole console of the Word of God. I have a few of Mr Demares books too.

I’m sorry, but I’m not trusting this Eastern Orthodox teacher. If he can’t read the Bible and see that Eastern Orthodox doctrine is not in the Bible, why would I trust what he has to say about anything in the Bible?

Misreading the Bible cannot be limited to any one group.

thanks a lot CI Schofield

It’s called double application. It’s a principal in which you ascribe more than one meaning or purpose to a verse.

Our pastor went full-out rapture teaching last Sunday; I was soooo disappointed and could hardly sit through it. It was a classic, all the points, "next thing on the horizon is the rapture!" Here he had the chance to teach real Scripture, and he chose THAT.

A lot to lose for changing position, but they’re being paid to teach something that isn’t profitable (in a godly sense). So what’s the profit in that? Blessings to you guys. I appreciate this video.

It's not just the dispensationalists who are misreading the Bible when it comes to eschatology. Look how many different views there are.

If the tribulation Jesus mentioned in Mathew 24 was referring to the destruction of Jerusalem that happened soon after in AD70, why did He say in verse 21 that the tribulation wiil be "such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be."? Certainly there have been far greater tribulations that came after the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70, no? And then in verse 30, Jesus says that after that tribulation, "all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. " So, when, where and how has that event of the coming of the Son of Man happened after Jerusalum was destroyed?

No, it’s interesting how you fail to understand the admonition from apostle Paul to properly divide scripture. That’s whats bewildering. Yes interpret scripture in light of scripture but properly handling the Bible by properly dividing clearly implies that one can improperly divide and miss handle scripture. As you’re doing now.

Are Hank and Gary in the same "church" now? Is Gary qualified to interpret the Bible in light of the Orthodox position? Can a "non- orthodox" person interpret the Bible for an Orthodox person? Is Gary now a spokesman for the Orthodox church?... or is he (being Presbyterian) considered "Heretical", because he would reject Orthodoxy?

Doctrine Matters! Bible Version Matters!

Short answer is because the rocks cry out with the answer. Same reasons academics ,textual critique and archeology read the time and place context. Traditions of the day. A willingness to want to truly know then and it definitely enhances this dispensational church age as God unveils himself . The age of knowledge gets hard to distinguish between where physicalism begins and ends in this era as one can tell . This has been one of the strongest predictions of the gospels but lays dormant because it doesn't fit in with the structuralism of orthodoxy and catholicism.

Wow... absolutley helpful. Thank you, Sir

So are you saying that 29,30,31 is the second coming and that it already happened? Are we then in the millennium? If not what are you saying 29,30,31 represents?

Same Greek word for this generation and that generation.

Oh this was a good one. 🙏🏻

Parable of the four seeds. Satan stealing the word from us. Which one is right?

How can you Hank NOT be a Dispensationalist???? Perhaps you're the one misreading the Bible!

One star would obliterate the earth? What if the stars are not giant balls of gas wirling through ‘space’? What if stars are tiny points of light in the firmament, and therefore can fall as figs? Test ALL things, hold fast that which is true

Dispensationalism is based on Daniel 9. - If you do not understand the structure of Daniel 9 you are not able to understand Bibleprophecy. Non- Dispensationalists have a very weird bibleknowledge.

Blessings in Christ Jesus. Key to understanding prophecy is found in the book of Ecclesiastes. There is nothing new under the sun , what was , will be again, what is, was already, what is to come have already been. One should do well to keep it in mind. Grace and peace.

Hank makes the same mistake Disps do. He combines what are 2 answers, into 1 answer, and that's almost unforgivable. BTW, I am not a 'Rapturist'. I can't believe how they cannot see that 'this generation' is in the context of the second part of the answer Jesus gives - remember - the disciples ask TWO questions: 1, when will the the temple be destroyed, and 2, the signs at the end of the age. Jesus answers clearly about 70 AD first - namely 'those of you in Judea', etc - and then gives the second answer about the end of the age. "This generation" that sees THESE signs will not pass away. A child can understand this. If I said, "Then, when they see you leave the solar system and engage Warp Speed, surely this generation will be living in Star Trek", what do I mean? That my current hearers are living in Star Trek?? No - the generation that SEES Warp Speed will be living in ST. That being said - I am emphatically NOT a pre-trib rapturist and I argue heavily and successfully against it's being taught.

Christians naively trust pastors who have been taught Dispensational lies. Pastors taught these Dispensational lies are not critically thinking.

Hmm, listening to the first few minutes of this; are you a Preterist?

For verily I say unto you, Until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall pass from the law until all is fulfilled. IT IS FINISHED

Wrong, Read Isahia 53, by your logic that is also not Prophetic. Isaiah 13 is a picture of Matthew 24. He says line upon line, precept upon precept here a little, there a little , Rev 18...

The right interpretation of Bible is a gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit allows the right interpretation only in the real church, protecting right doctrins in that way and separating the real church from other groups called "churches ". Only in the Orthodox church there is the truth, because in Orthodox church the Holy Spirit allows the right interpretation of the scriptures and doctrines. (A Tim 3:15)

What we need to know about ourselves from God's Word and our only hope of being justified before a Holy and righteous God: [WHY WE HAVE NO HOPE IN OURSELVES: Mk. 7:20-23 And he (Jesus) said, That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things (sins) come from within, and defile the man.] [WHY WE NEED A SAVIOR: Rom. 3:10-28 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that what things so ever the law says, it says to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his (God's) sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ to all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Joh. 3:16 For God so loved the world (us), that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Joh. 14:6 Jesus said to him (us), I am the way (salvation), the truth (assurance), and the life (eternal): no man comes to (God) the Father, but by me (God the Son). Rom. 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:]

This world does not end until Revelation 21:1. That is after the 1,000 year Kingdom reign, and after the 7,000 years since Adam was created. Matthew 24:29 talks about the second coming of Christ. Don't you know that the world is getting ready for another war? That's part of the tribulation that is coming. After all the rest of the seals, trumpets and bowls, Jesus will appear in the clouds after the sun, moon and stars go dark. The caller is correct, those three symbols represent Israel. Remember that He comes back for them (Matthew 23:39). And notice what the children of Israel are doing in verse 30. They are in mourning, just like Zechariah 12:10-14 tells us. They have finally realized that they rejected God's plan of salvation through His son, but are now repenting of it and crying out for Him to return. And so He does.

If anyone wants to know if Israel is the body of Christ look at Acts 3:19-21. These same Acts2 jews/Israel doesn’t have its sins blotted out till after the tribulation. Paul says our sins are already forgiven Col 2:9-14. How can the body of Christ jew/gentile mix be forgiven right now and Acts2 Isarel only have remission/temporary forgiveness. Its not possible to be saved now and still be waiting to be saved. Israel is not the body. Mat 24 could not of been fulfilled in ad70 during this dispensation of grace.

Always knew my favorite translation was the new American standard, even as a very, very young Christian

Mat.12.38¶Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 39¶But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 16.21¶From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. 27.63Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. Mark 8.31¶And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. Luke 9.21¶And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; 22Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. Luke18.31¶Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. 32For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: 33And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. How do you count to three ?

Ephesians 3:2: If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given to me toward you. There are a few people who have heard of the dispensation of grace given to the called apostel Paul. They know that Paul is a steward of the mysteries of God. One of these great mysteries is the Body of Christ. This Body will be raptured before the second comming of Christ. Fighting against Paul is fighting against Christ!

Who is now the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary? Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart. Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36) We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18. We are come instead to the New Covenant church of Mount Zion and the blood in Hebrews 12:22-24. =============== Multiple Second Coming Visions in Revelation: (book not in chronological order ) Christ returns one time in the future. However, there are several different visions of His return shown from different perspectives in the Book of Revelation. Christ returns at the end of Revelation chapter 6, with signs in the sun, moon, and stars, as are found in the Olivet Discourse. Those at the end of the chapter are hiding from the wrath of the Lamb. Why would they be hiding if Christ is not present? The "kings", "captains", "might men", "free", and "bond" are also found in chapter 19 at the return of Christ. He returns at the 7th trumpet, which is the last trumpet in the Bible, and the time of the judgment of the dead in Revelation 11:15-18. The beginning of chapter 12 is a history lesson containing the fall of Satan, and the birth and death of Christ, who is the seed promised to crush the head of Satan in Genesis 3:15. The Second Coming is found in the "harvest" of chapter 14, which is related to the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew chapter 13. He comes as a thief at Armageddon, and we find the greatest earthquake in history in chapter 16. This occurs when the 7th angel pours out his vial. How powerful is an earthquake which moves islands and destroys the mountains? What is happening to the planet? He comes on a horse in chapter 19, right after the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Chapter 20? Does He come with the fire, and the judgment of the dead at the end of chapter 20, which agrees with what Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, and 2 Timothy 4:1? (The time of the judgment of the dead is also found in Revelation 11:18.) There are no mortals left alive on the planet at the end of Matthew 25:31-46. Why does an angel come down from heaven with a key to unlock the bottomless pit in Revelation 9:1-2, if the pit was not already locked before that time? Are there wicked angels in the pit in Rev. 9:11? If the beast "ascends" from the pit in Rev. chapter 11, where was the beast before that time? Does your view agree with Peter in 2 Pet. 2:4, and Jude in Jude 1:6, when they both said wicked angels are already in chains of darkness? Revelation 9:14 proves some of the angels were previously bound in some manner. Because the two witnesses were bodily resurrected from the dead in Revelation 11, the "first resurrection" at the beginning of Revelation 20 is not the first bodily resurrection in the book. The principle of "Recapitulation" means there are multiple visions of His return.

You don’t even have it right about the stars falling out of the sky the stars are the luminaries there is no stars there is no planets there’s none of that their angels in their patterns

This is the whole problem with people like you. This is why the Lord over emphasizes an over, emphasizes that he comes as a thief in the night. This is the night and you’re the watcher of the night and you’re blind, as can be.

Jesus spoke of earthquakes and the powers of heaven to be shaken before his coming. This did not happen in 70 AD, this is a future fulfillment. We have to understand that Jesus spoke of the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem but he went on to prophecy about the future time when he will come as written in Daniel chapter 2, to take over the governments of the world and becoming the King of the tribes of Jacob.

Read Scott Hahn’s book The Lambs Supper! He gives a full, historical answer to the end times thing, it will blow your mind! The Kingdom of God on earth has come, The Church. The old world had to end.

It’s easy to spiritualise any verse that doesn’t fit your system. It’s funny tho, the stars falling from heaven CAN’t possibly be literal, oh no.,. But the sign of the Son of man coming in the clouds MUST of course be literal😅

Do you believe that the Second coming of Christ happened in 70ad? If you don’t then you’re doing the same thing the dispensationalist are. The events in Matthew 24 are speaking about the time right before the second coming. Except for verse 1 and 2. There is a scene change at verse 3. Some time has elapsed between Jesus saying the second temple will be destroyed and the rest of the events in the chapter. Sure maybe the disciples thought they were asking about the destruction of the temple but Jesus was answering their question on what will happen at the end of the age. Matthew wrote (let the reader understand) Now the question is. Was Matthew only writing to his generation or was he writing to the generation that would see ALL these things take place? It’s not any sort of stretch to say when YOU (reader) see these things… Matthew 24:15 (NASB95): “Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),

Wow. We’ve gone pretty far afield here, covering both ecclesial history and theology. And the “Church Invisible” doctrine covers many theologians (with different ideas) over many hundreds of years, beginning primarily with Clement. Honestly, their musings are more than a little abstract. I understand that many of them are drawing distinctions between born-again believers and non-regenerate church members. But they go much further than I think scripture does. So frankly, I’m not impressed with the “Church Invisible” doctrine at all. As for the Reformers, I do not think they rescued true Christian worship in any way. I think the break from the RCC was laudable, but the movement as a whole was a confused mess. Basically, they just created a much larger and diverse body of tradition from which people could pick and choose at their whim. Anyway, I think we’ve gone a bit far afield in this discussion, but I’ll let you lead …

Wait! How can we trust teaching under a banner saying life matters more than truth? Even if the teaching is correct on this particular subject of dispensationalism, that is inconsequential in the face of such a heretical banner. Run from this group dear brothers.

First off, Isaiah 13 is talking about Mystery Babylon... The Meds will be Iran (Isaiah 13:17)... Remember, the feet on the beast in Dan 7 will stomp and crush everything, and the feet are the feet of a bear in Rev 13 which was Medo Persia, or Modern day Iran... How was this talking about Persia during the rule of Rome in 70 a.d.? That makes no sense... Ya'll think this was time past, but it's all yet future... Isaiah 13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place... When has that ever happened? It hasn't... This is that one huge earthquake mentioned many times in Revelation... But it has never happened... Well not yet... Did you ever consider that God did not want us to understand this until the end of years? Daniel 11:6... Daniel 12:9...???

It's easy. Look in the mirror. Fratelli tutti Para 15

Hank you are the one who misread the bible. Dr. Walter Martin would rebuke you if only he is alive today.

How can so many Infernalists misread the Bible? 1 Timothy 4:10 Apokatastasis ALL will be well. Every knee shall bow.

To begin Matthew 24 the apostles asked Jesus when the end will be and Jesus itemizes a series of events. These events can be checked off to Revelation 6, the 7 seal opening. Same thing Before the 7th seal opens, the jews appear in heaven in chapter 7, followed by the Christians. The rapture just happened. Chapter 14 shows this same event a 2nd time with the 144,000 appearing 1st and Christians 2nd. But this time it says the jews are the "first fruits"! It seems to me that the jews are go first, or, i can see simultaneously. But...i cannot see where pretribulationists would say the Christians are taken before the tribulation and the jews saved near the end. Also want to stress that, pretibulationists have a real problem in that Revelation, a book specifically written to detail end time events, omits a pretrib rapture. Preterists or those who believe Matthew 24 is historical fail to understand how Matthew 24 ties one for one to Revelation 6. Taken together they both paint a compelling end of days picture

The sun and moon portion of the Olivette Discourse is none other than the SIXTH SEAL of Revelation 6. PETER talks about it in Acts 2, referencing Joel. But why? Because unbelieving Jews are making fun of BELIEVING Jews for speaking in tongues. So, Peter mentions the 6th Seal to show that AFTER THE 6TH SEAL, THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE 144000. When Jesus talks about the 6th seal, his is in conjunction with... THE RAPTURE. BOTH of the 144000 AND the RAPTURE is mentioned in Revelation chapter 7, which is BEFORE the opening of... THE WRATH OF GOD, THE 7TH SEAL. SORRY BIBLE ANSWER MAN, BUT YOU ARE TERRIBLE AT THIS TOPIC. Ed Chapman

The Bible Answer Man (ha!) insists on attending a church that is so unbiblical. I don’t trust him at all. Just my humble opinion.
