I give my opinion on which English translations of the Bible I prefer and why I prefer them.

My self and other Pre-Tribulation Content Creators getting comments from People Claiming to switch from a Pre-Tribulation rapture position to a Pre-Wrath, Post-Tribulation, or even an Amillennial position. In this video I explore 2 theories. 1. Disillusionment from being disappointed by date-setters 2. They falsely believed that the rapture would happen before things got this bad so they assume the pre-trib position must be wrong.

They say content creators should never read the comments section. You took the time to watch my video and then spent even more time leaving a comment. One trend I have picked up on in the comments section is what a person believes about OSAS or Eternal Security influences how they see the Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ. This is a very divisive topic and my goal with this video is not to debate the merits or criticisms of each position. Truthfully if you have clicked to watch this video you probably have a strong opinion one way or another. I am not trying to convince anyone of a particular opinion but explain my position as I see it in scripture and how it affects my belief in the rapture. If you are not saved I have linked a video at the end that goes through the plan of salvation

There is a lot of speculation and there are channels dedicated to predicting a specific date when the Lord is coming back. In this video I offer an opinion as to why I think God doesn't clearly reveal a specific date of the rapture to us. Comment below any reasons you think that the Lord wouldn't want us to know the date.

It seems like today every Jewish holiday prompts calls from the Content Creator Community to watch for the Rapture on that Date. I explore this topic and ask if we should be expecting the Rapture of the Church on a Jewish feast.

In this video I give 7 rules to help you interpret Biblical Scriptures. This is a small part of a much longer 5 part study on How to study the Bible which you can check out here Part 1 Talks About World View https://rumble.com/embed/v9axk3/?pub=85c19 Part 2 Talks About What the Bible is and How it relates to other religious texts https://rumble.com/embed/v9axxz/?pub=85c19 Part 3 Discusses How the Bible was preserved and translated and I give my opinion on the best English translation https://rumble.com/embed/v9ay89/?pub=85c19 Part 4 Goes in depth on how to study https://rumble.com/embed/v9aytn/?pub=85c19 Part 5 Talks about tools to aid in Bible Study https://rumble.com/embed/v9az6z/?pub=85c19 1 Pray before you study 2 Always take Scripture in context 3 Compare Scripture with Scripture 4 Don’t study the Bible with preconceived ideas 5 Get the literal meaning first and then look for the spiritual application 6 Have an understanding of Dispensations 7 Make a distinction between things that seem similar

This is a speculation video. I have no idea who the anti-christ is but I think I have found a good pop culture analogy for what the rise of the Beast will look like. In George Lucas' Star Wars Saga especially the prequels we see the rise of a random senator to galactic emperor. I draw several parallels between what we know from scripture and this fictional universe. Let me know what you think. By the way if any of you content creators out there with more resources and time want to use this idea to make a better video feel free to do so.

This video I talk about if we truly believe The Lord's return can happen any moment in this wicked world we need to stop worrying about selling books and videos and cast our net as wide and freely as possible.

In this video I discuss how Christians should deal with disagreements in the church.

Over the last couple of months there has been a lot of debate online over the Imminence of the Rapture and those that want to put a particular date on it. Those that hold to the doctrine of imminence have been linked to the Pharisees of Jesus’ day using the scriptures in Matthew16:1-4 and Luke 12 :54-56. The implication being that those that believe in Christ’s imminent return are somehow less faithful than those that speculate on particular dates. In this video I will attempt to explain why the Doctrine of Imminence is a good thing, how this scripture is being taken out of context and what it really means to be “watching” using modern day weather analogies. This video ran really long and I am sorry about that. It was not scripted (heck none of my videos are fully scripted out). For my fellow content creators that like to set dates about the last 15-20 minutes of this video are for you. I have spent a lot of time looking at your comment sections and am bothered by the disappointment I am seeing in your viewer. I hope you won't hate me for this part but I think we need to take the responsibility of being a Christian content creator seriously. I know there is a game we have to play to get our videos noticed and our audiences expect but what ever next date you have in mind; don't, just don't say it. I implore you to say Christ could come back any moment, you can report on the world system linng things up for the anti-christ but please for the love of God stop setting specific dates. I read nowhere in scripture where there is a special crown for those who accurately predict the Rapture. I know you think you are encouraging people but you are selling spiritual lottery tickets and telling folks if they buy your system they win the lottery when in reality when they don't win they are getting disappointed. When the Rapture happens I am sure we will look back on God's eternal Word and see "yep I see it right here". It's like military code breaking. Without the key to the cypher it is hard to see but on this side we are missing the cypher key.

In this video I try to give a brief explanation of the Christian Doctrine of Salvation.

As Christians we sometimes overestimate our role in leading a person to Christ. John 6 : 44 tells us “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.” (ESV) It is important that the Holy Spirit draw a person to him because to the world salvation is foolishness. Those in the world look at Christians with disdain because we believe through faith in a God we have never seen that He sent His Son to Die on a cross for us and that His Blood is sufficient to cover our sins. This is foolish talk in a World that denies the existence of God, Sin and Holiness. Consider 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” 20 Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach[b] to save those who believe. 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards,[c] not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being[d] might boast in the presence of God. 30 And because of him[e] you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” (ESV) So as Christians what is our responsibility? Our responsibility is to tell others about God and His Salvation through His Son Jesus. They may mock you and scorn you but you have planted a seed that the Holy Spirit can use to draw them. And Peter tells us in 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,[a] not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. (ESV) The Spirit draws all at some point but they have the Free Will to accept or reject Christ. In the South we have a saying “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink” God does not force Himself on a person nor can you force anyone to get saved. Ultimately it is their decision.

This episode I talk about confirmation bias in social media and what advice the Bible gives us for thinking critically. Critical thinking seems to be a skill that has been lost or is no longer taught. Rather than focusing on content today people focus on the education and the personality of the person presenting an idea. Video thumbnail was created using Bing Image Creator powered by Dall-E and text added with Microsoft PowerPoint.

I have seen a lot of content online that says the rapture is coming this weekend. I even have a poll up for what you think. I think the rapture is imminent but we cannot know the day or the hour. I discuss the scriptures Matt 24 : 36-44 and 1 Thes 5 : 1-4. I am concerned all this date setting is hurting and not helping the cause of Christ. Either way today is the day of salvation. You don't have long. Please watch my video on how to get saved https://youtu.be/yRKx8FjjzMA. This is a longer video but if you have stumbled across this video and you are NOT saved this 48 Minute video may literally save your soul.

Several times in scripture those that believe in a Pre-Tribulaton Rapture use Scriptures where Christ gives the analogy of a thief in the night. What does this analogy mean and are some making too much of this analogy?

I have seen a lot of comments and argument over the concept of the Rapture. Disagreement is fine but the trend that concerns me is the vitriolic hatred towards people that hold my view. Do you believe that Salvation is by believing by faith that Christ died for your sins and that His shed innocent blood make atonement for your sins? I covered this in My Real Truth of the Rapture Series but few have watched probably because it is long (BTW it is long because I read a lot of scripture) and people today want quick easy answers so I will try to cover this as quickly as possible. To save video time I did not read a lot of scripture. Everyone that disputes you says that you are twisting scripture or show me the scripture. Don't take my word for anything. I am nobody. Here are Scriptures to consider Rapture (read the whole chapter lest I am accused of twisting scripture or taking it out of context): 1 Thessalonians 4 1 Corinthians 15 Hebrews 9:24-28 Revelation 4:1 Scriptures Rebuking Hateful argument James 3:13-18 1 Timothy 2:8 1 Timothy 6:1-7 2 Timothy 2:8-19 2 Timothy 3 & 4 Epistle of Titus Why we are arguing over details and dividing the Body of Christ?

In the End Times It Will Be Like the Days of Noah and Lot. A lot of people who study the end times will use this verse and think that they are essentially the same thing. In this video I compare these two Historical Biblical events to see what they reveal to us about the last days and show how these events may illustrate the pre-tribulation rapture position

One of the biggest philosophical questions of all time is why am I here? Why do I exist? Philosophy has debated this question for years but the answer has been in the Bible all this time.

We in the Christian Content Creator Community especially those of us interested in Biblical prophecy talk about, debate, speculate about things like the rapture, the tribulation, the antichrist, the mark of the beast, the millennium reign, etc. In today’s video I want to go back to basics and ask a simple question. Why is the Lord going to allow this world to go through a period which we call the tribulation? I mean the world is bad enough. Surely if He wanted; He could come back today defeat the forces of evil lock satan up in the bottomless pit and take His rightful place on His Throne. Surely God must have some purpose for putting the earth through this. This is what we will explore. You may want to read Daniel 9 in it's entirety

There is a lot of talk on the internet about a possible date of the rapture being July 26th (or in 15 days from the date this video is posted). You need to make sure that you are accepting Christ for the right reasons and guard against getting let down if the Lord does not return on what ever specific date has been mentioned.

It is common in the Bible Prophecy world that people use the term being a “Watchman” or “Watchwoman”. Where does this term come from and what is our responsibility and role today?

In this video I show an overview of the entire Bible historical time line and Where I believe we are at on God's timeline.

What is the resurrection? As Christians we throw terms like this around and never stop to define them. I also believe this is were a lot of confusion comes from on the rapture. I have done a longer form study on this so feel free to check those out. https://rumble.com/embed/v9ar3n/?pub=85c19 https://rumble.com/embed/v9ass7/?pub=85c19 I would also suggest reading 1 Corinthians 15

In this video I discuss a free resource I have discovered and discuss a way to use this with an idea of an alert system I have created for the rapture. To download a free rapture kit go to https://rapturekit.org/ If you would like to use or modify my 42 second alert video you can download it from my google drive here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hfw-U5hsepEtP-gRsXzEo9QbgTaciGAh/view?usp=drive_link Power Point https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1o0UjQ6OoQo3Bv4p0w1KIltieayr4JMOI/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=102853369824930296322&rtpof=true&sd=true Jpg for Thumbnail https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SpbjnjNgIZ2bQatQGn8pWiYsCZwwTn0e/view?usp=drive_link If you have more experience with this than me or want to collaborate on some type of calendar to coordinate this alert system you can email me at emmausrdprod@gmail.com

In this episode I explain what a dispensation is and explain why it is important for understanding the Bible. I found this chart by Dr. Michael Vlach and Miska Wilhelmson (I have no idea who these people are and know nothing about them) https://miskawilhelmsson.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/covenanttheology_dispensationalism_chart.pdf I think it is a fair and balanced comparison. Note if the thumbnail for this video makes no sense I meant to say in this video that dispensationalism is God dealing with man in different ways like a parent's interaction with a child changes over time.
