Today is Friday November 6th, 2020 and the US Election happened 3 days ago. In my lifetime this is unprecedented. Even in 2000 we had a winner announced and all the drama in Florida was a recount. But this is 2020!! It has been a nearly 2 months since I uploaded part 2. And I started working on a series called journey through the bible. I put that on pause to focus on another study about the truths of the Rapture and if I am honest I have spent / wasted too much time watching all this election mess. In the US we are continuing to see riots, division, political turmoil, COVID-19 is still with us in full force. I believe that we are witnessing the end of America and we are quickly approaching the time of the rapture of the church and subsequent tribulation. There are many people who may believe we are in the tribulation. Lord willing next week I will begin laying out the case why we are not in the tribulation and why Christians should be looking for the rapture. This video is my opinion speculating on the future based on what I see in the news but it is an educated opinion of what I have learned in 30 years learning and studying the Bible. I am not attempting to change anyone’s opinion. The intended audience for this video is anyone who is looking around and wondering what is going on and what does this all mean. Again this is my educated opinion and should not be taken as gospel. I do not claim any special revelation from God I am simply interpreting the scriptures as written. Donald Trump / Republicans are not the Messiah In full disclosure I voted for Trump. Jesus is our Salvation and if you are a Christian He is your King and your patriotism belongs to Him not Biden or Trump. Most likely in the next few days Joe Biden will be announced the winner. Donald Trump will fight the election results over the next weeks and may or may not win any of those legal battles. I do not believe Donald Trump is fighting on any grounds of moral superiority or devout patriotism. Trump first and foremost has always been a businessman and winning or losing the election is a matter of pride and branding. Joe Biden / Kamala Harris / Democrats are NOT the Anti-Christ. The Tribulation is not about the Church and America. The Tribulation is about the reconciling of Israel to God and God’s wrath poured out on a world that hates HIM. As Christians we are to serve God. We are not called to fight with violence that is the way of the flesh. We are to love those that hate us and despitefully use us The biggest influence you have is not at the ballot box it is loving and prying for those in your life. God is still in Control and God allows leaders to rise and fall. Democracy is not always right see 1 Samuel 8 Israel Turned from God and wanted a King. Likewise as a people we have turned from God. Like Samuel some of us made our plea and that plea was rejected. The problems in the world are too big for you and fighting against them is as useless as fighting a hurricane. It is in God’s hands now. Our role is to hold fast to our faith. I believe dark days are ahead but if you have put your trust in Christ as your Lord and Savior then whatever trials we endure will be worth it in the end. Scripture Refrences: Hebrews 13:16-18 Matthew 5:43-45; 10:22; 24:8-10 Mark 13:12-13 Luke 6:21-23, 26-28 John 15:18-20 John 19:10&11 Daniel 4:34-37 1 Samuel 8

This past weekend at the stop the steal protest at the Supreme Court some speakers claimed that we are in the Tribulation and the Tribulation is here. In this episode I talk about why I don't think we are in the Time Of Jacobs trouble yet. 2020 has been bad but it is not the wrath of God upon us. This was one of my longest videos to date see time stamps below so you can skip to the major parts 00:00 Introduction 02:07 Competing views of Pre-millennial Rapture timing 18:57 Reason 1 The Tribulation Concerns Israel not the Church 39:03 Reason 2 There is no Biblical Evidence for the Church Being on the Earth during the tribulation 51:02 When the Church is alluded to they are seen in Heaven 57:50 Reason 3 The Church is Promised and Exemption from God's Wrath Welcome to another Emmaus road productions video. In this video series we are explaining the theological concept of the Rapture. This video series is inspired by a series my pastor is currently conducting and I have adapted it to video format. If you search for the rapture, tribulation, endtimes on the internet you will find a lot of various opinions and thoughts. In this series we will be looking at a lot of scripture and everything will be based first and foremost on scripture which is our ultimate authority. We encourage you to search the scriptures and verify for yourself everything we teach here at Emmaus Road Productions. If you have questions please feel free to leave them in the comments section below. In Part 9 I discussed that the rapture was an early church doctrine that was rediscovered and we looked at a lot of history because among those that out right deny the rapture base their arguments on History and NOT Scripture. Among Church people there are two major camps. Last episode was addressing the arguments those make that deny the rapture exists at all. There Is another group of believers that DO believe in a rapture but they disagree on the timing of the rapture in the context of end-time events. In Today’s episode I am going to talk about why we believe that the Rapture is going to occur for all born again believers before the Tribulation begins.

In this video we continue our journey through the Bible with Genesis chapter 2 versus 4 through the end of the chapter. In Chapter 2 we take a closer look at the sixth day of creation and get to see the detail of how man was created and learn a little bit about what the earth was like back then and get to see the garden of Eden. 00:00 Intro 01:14 Welcome to Eden (Correction I said 4,000 years ago should have said 6,000 years ago) 05:30 Hello Adam 14:53 Welcome to Eden 17:05 Where was Eden 27:02 Mans's Purpose 33:24 Name That Animal 43:27 One More Thing 48:35 End of the Chapter 51:10 Final Thoughts 1:06:37 Discussion Questions 1:13:35 Closing

In this video I attempt to explain the Christian Doctrine of Salvation from a Biblical perspective. If you came here not knowing Christ as your Lord and Savior I hope you will leave this video either saved or at the least looking for more information. If you are a Christian I hope this video will help give you confidence to witness to others and/or help you to understand the Doctrine of Salvation a little better. I also covered Baptism a lot in this because Baptism and Salvation are linked. In some denominations they baptize everyone potentially giving people the false impression that they are save and some denominations teach that if you don't get baptized you were never saved.

This video was uploaded to my youtube channel on July 30th 2020 It was not my intent at this stage to get into commentary on current events. I hope I do not get in trouble with YouTube for posting this video, I don't think any of the content violates the YouTube terms of service and community guidelines; but with so many voices of hate and anger out there I want to take a breath and look at what is going on in our world from a Biblical perspective. Like you I have my thoughts and opinions on the current headlines. With the Lord ‘s help I am going to try to explain in this video what is going on and how the body of Christ should be responding. We are halfway through 2020. 2020 started off like any other year but beginning in late February to mid March the world was shook with a pandemic of COVID-19 and we were all told to stay in our homes. Church services, funerals, weddings, and all large gatherings have been banned in the name of public safety to stop the spread of the pandemic. Phases like social distancing, the new normal , flattening the curve have become part of our daily lexicon. Businesses have been destroyed, unemployment is a record highs. The on memorial day George Floyd was killed when a police officer put his knee on his neck for nearly 9 minutes. This kicked off a wave protests, rioting and looting across the US and the world. Out of this movement mobs are intimidating people on social media and taking over communities. There is now another police shooting in Atlanta where Rayshard Brooks was killed following an incident with the police and that officer is now facing felony murder charges. Mobs are roaming the streets tearing down statues COVID is spiking through the country, cities are being taken over by protesters and clashes with law enforcement are commonplace and Millions are living in fear. This was originally going to be just one video but there is so much going on that one video would be too long. I will be using a lot of scripture reading from the King James Version. If you have a Bible you may want to follow along because the text might be hard for you to read on screen. I know that it may seem boring to listen to me read a bunch of scripture but I believe the bible should be taken literally and in context. You can take the Bible or any document for that matter and cherry pick parts to make any point you want but many times people who do this are taking scripture out of context. I may be the tool that God is using to post this video but I have endeavored to take myself and my opinions out of this so that I am hopefully a conduit of God’s Word. I am Nobody. I am just a Christian. I am not a Pastor. I have a regular job and don't work for any church or religious organization. I implore all the Mega Pastors and Religious Leaders now is the time for you to take a stand. You guys have platforms and reach beyond You Tube. We may not be able to meet in person but God has blessed us with technology to still spread his word.

There are a lot of competing differing views of the end times. I have been making a lot videos lately on the end times. Looking at my comments section on my videos one thing is clear. There are some people I am sure that are trolling me but the legitimate comments seem to come from folks that address competing view-points writing to me like I have never considered any other type of end time position. The purpose of this video is two-fold. 1. Allow my critics to know that I am indeed aware of their position 2. To give the most impartial presentation I can of the various end time views I am not trying to convince you I am right and you are wrong. I am just going to present the competing views This is not a salvation issue. If you know Christ as your Lord and Savior which ever of these views are correct He will take care of you. If you don’t know Christ as your Lord you need to repent of your sin or risk facing an eternity in Hell either through natural death or one of the end times scenarios described in this video.

As a Channel talking about theology it is important that you have an idea of what I believe. This is my statement of faith and is the core beliefs of everything that will be taught on this channel. I am new to Rumble and this is from my YouTube channel

In this video I speculate that there is a gap of time between the Rapture and the Tribulation. Sorry if this video is a little long and rambly but there are so many pre-trib watchers out there on YouTube taking every news article and tying it to scripture. They are getting worked up and working up their viewers that the rapture must happen before X and they are pointing to things that are only 2 or 3 months away. I believe all these things confirm we are living in the last days but what people are missing is it takes time to roll this stuff out. The pieces are there but they need time to organize. Remember the thing a few years ago they wanted everybody in the world to have? It took months to develop the thing and then months to deploy the thing. If the rapture happens today (here are the numbers I was sharing in the video): - 80 Million disappear if only 1% of the population is Christian - There are 385K babies born globally every day so I estimate that means right now there are 97 Million pregnant women - According to UNESCO there are 656 Million Children under the age of 5 - 1% - 3% of the global population suffers from a severe mental disability. Conservatively in a moment in a winkling of an eye 900 Million to 2.45 Billion people would disappear from this earth. - How many of those left behind would be killed as a side effect of the rapture? Wrecks, fires, crime (if you are having surgery soon and don't know if you are saved make sure your surgeon is an atheist) - Will countries mistake the rapture as some new first strike weapon and retaliate? - What about Babylon? Some of the scriptures Babylon could be symbolic but Revelation 18 and especially verse 21 makes me think that Babylon will be the new world center because they are rebuilding it now and verse 21 says it is never to be inhabited again. Below are some sources you can check out and I deliberately did not include any Christian sites https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2022/03/24/babylon-is-coming-back-to-life-with-its-famed-ishtar-gate-to-be-restored-by-this-summer https://www.wmf.org/project/future-babylon https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/06/world/middleeast/babylon-iraq-archeology-conservation.html - What about the Jewish Temple? How long will that take to build? Even if a lot of it is pre-fabricated there still has to be some time involved. Before construction can even start something has to change in Jerusalem to even allow the temple to be on the temple mount. - If you wanted everyone to switch to a CBDC While you are dealing with all the chaos from the rapture do you really think everyone could switch in 45 days if the rapture happened today from the recording of this video to the SDG summit on Sept 18th and 19th. If anything the rapture might delay this meeting. They also have another one of these 9/22&23/2024 in NYC the summit of the future https://sdg.iisd.org/events/summit-of-the-future/ . Here is an event calendar https://sdg.iisd.org/events/calendar/ so you guys that want to set dates can find the most Biblically Prophetic one that is near a feast and get everyone worked up. I say this in the video but I am going to type it in the description here. THERE ARE NO SIGNS FOR THE RAPTURE! EVERYDAY AND EVERY MINUTE IS POTENTIALLY THE MOMENT OF THE RAPTURE!. (Sorry for the all caps but I know some will say I am using the doctrine of imminence to push out the rapture indefinitely.) We have to stop assuming everything has a direct scriptural correlation. These news stories show us the mindset of our world leaders but they will still need time to organize. NOTE: This video was prerecorded August 3, 2023

Welcome to Journey Through the Bible here at Emmaus Road Productions. In this series we take each chapter of the Bible and do a verse by verse exposition. At the end of each video we will post discussion questions that you can think about on your own, engage in the comments section or using these for small group discussions. In today’s episode we start at the beginning of everything with Genesis Chapter 1 In this video we go through Genesis Ch1 through Genesis Ch2 verse 3 and look at how God created the world and universe and how this account is relevant for today.

Uploaded on my YouTube Channel on 9/3/2020 Uncle Sam went to visit his doctor and found out today he has cancer. That is where we are at today. I recorded this 9-3-2020. Based on what I am seeing if I was the Dr. in the above scenario I would say Uncle Sam will be dead in 6 months to a year. I could be wrong. No Man knows the day or the hour when Christ will return but like a terminal cancer patient barring a medical miracle they will soon die. Watch with me as I go through the reason why I believe the end of America and the world as we know it may be soon.

If you have questions please feel free to leave them in the comments section below. In part 3 we will talk about why The Rapture is not the Revelation the Rapture is distinct. In this video I will be quoting a lot of scripture. I do this not to bore you the viewer, but I do it to show this is not the crazy rambling opinion of someone on the internet but it is the Word of God.

This is my first video for 2021. With all the political chaos happening and the ideological divisions in our country I examine where we are and offer 2 pieces of advice for Christians to move forward in 2021 in a productive manner. 00:00 Intro 00:42 Facts entering 2021 02:59 Donald Trump is not the Messiah 05:23 God is Still in control 13:51 What do we do moving forward 14:53 Don't join a political movement. Find a Bible believing church with good Christian Fellowship. 18:39 Focus on HOLINESS 21:42 Closing https://youtu.be/rMTRJ8yXrgY

This is the 1st part of a much larger study on how to study the Bible. This may seem like a weird place to start and may even seem off topic but before you can study the Bible you have to be willing to accept it's message. It is ok to be skeptical but if you are starting from a place that the Bible is wrong or it is myth then you won't get much out of our Bible study. I hope this video will not turn you away from studying the Bible but will help you understand the general Christian Worldview.

At my Church we are starting a new Wednesday Night Study reviewing the Book “Why I Believe” by Chip Ingram © 2017. You can get this book at one of these retailers. (I have no financial interest in you buying this book) https://livingontheedge.org/product/why-i-believe-study-guide/ https://www.christianbook.com/believe-straight-answers-honest-questions-christianity/chip-ingram/9780801074417/pd/074417?event=ESRCG https://www.amazon.com/s?k=why+i+believe+chip+ingram&crid=1FEUOMP47DUK3&sprefix=Why+I+Believe+%2Caps%2C103&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_5_14 I have not read this book and my Pastor wanted to do something on Apologetics What is Apologetics? It is the reasoned arguments or writings in justifying why you believe in something. Christian apologetics are why we Christians Believe what we believe. Is it just blind faith or do we have good reasons for believing what we do? In this day and age we aren’t lacking for information but rather we are bombarded with tons of information and our challenge today is to use to discernment to determine what is good information. If you are like me, you were raised in a predominately Christian American atmosphere. Most of us take for granted certain truths because our parents believed them, their parents believed them, and on and on. But what happens when you are confronted with someone who does not believe? Do you have an answer for why you believe the things you do? Or are you intimidated by challenges to your belief and run away from that situation as fast as you can? I welcome you to join me on this personal Bible Study as we review this book by Pastor Chip Ingram. At my Church we will be discussing each chapter so for this YouTube I will introduce discussion points that you can use to discuss either in the comments section or with people local to you. (I have had a few viewers mention that they live in areas where they don’t have a good church to go to. I am not familiar with Pastor Ingram, but I trust my Pastor that this will be a good resource into this topic. I have done a previous video 3 years ago discussing worldviews that I will link at the end of this video. https://youtu.be/1oJW546k0IQ?si=5LfqAx3SH4c7ix3u . If someone is adamant that there is no such thing as God and we are here as the result of some cosmic accident I am not claiming that this study will convince them, but it should equip you to give a reason defense for why you believe what you believe. I will also link videos from Pastor Ingram since this is his material if you rather hear this straight from him. (See Video on YouTube for these Links)

If you have questions please feel free to leave them in the comments section below. In Part 8 I discussed the imminence of the rapture and even the apostles writings indicate that they were looking for the rapture at any time. Today there are many Christians that doubt the validity of the rapture because for 1500+ years the doctrine of the rapture was lost. For the first 200 years the early church fathers believed in the rapture and it was lost and rediscovered in the 1830’s. Many of the Christians and Churches that today do so by saying that the rapture is a new doctrine and base their arguments on history and tradition not Scripture. In this episode we will discuss how this doctrine was lost and take a look at some example of other doctrines that were lost and re-discovered.

In this video we continue our journey through the Bible with Genesis chapter 3. In chapter 3 we are introduced to the serpent and we see the end of innocence and the original sin. Did you ever want to know why God allows bad stuff to happen? The answer is right here in this chapter. 00:00 Intro 00:50 Shifting Focus 06:55 Sowing the Seeds of Doubt 19:23 The First Sin 29:45 God is Coming 33:54 Excusing Sin 38:15 Curse of the Serpent 41:43 Curse of the Woman 47:22 Curse of Man and the Earth 53:15 The New Normal 58:30 Paradise Lost 1:05:40 Final Thoughts 1:18:27 Discussion Questions 1:27:12 Closing Here is the video I mentioned 1:11:00 Neil deGrasse Tyson on God https://youtu.be/I0nXG02tpDw Another Video of Neil deGrasse Tyson making the argument that bad things happening is evidence of the absence of God. https://youtu.be/3sApQ80QRiE Let me be clear I am not picking on Dr. Tyson here but I believe he is missing the point that it is not God but Sin which causes the woes of the world. He gives the example of earthquake hitting Lisbon in 1755 on all saints day. Whether it is nature or man in the case of multiple church shootings they are not proofs of the absence of God but of the presence of sin and the curse. He talks about Gallieo saying he doesn't see the Bible pointing to a heliocentric solar system but the Bible never claims it is not. The Bible uses terms like rising and setting just like we do today.

We are continuing our Review of the Book “Why I Believe” By Pastor Chip Ingram. I will not be fully recapping previous episodes, but I will add these episodes to a playlist that I will link at the end of this video along with a link to Pastor Ingram’s video for you to review. In the last episode we were discussing the resurrection of Jesus. Pastor Ingram in Chapter 1 of his book “Why I Believe” began giving us 7 reasons why we should believe the Jesus of the Bible was an actual historical figure who literally died and was raised again. In chapter 1 he gives us the first 4 reasons Reason 1 The Historicity of Jesus of Nazareth Reason 2 The Character of Jesus is Unquestioned Reason 3 The Works f Jesus Went Unchallenged Reason 4 The Identity of Jesus was Confirmed In Chapter 2 Pastor Ingram is going to give us the 3 remaining reasons. (Note: I am going through this book just like you would, and I must confess at this point I don’t know why Pastor Ingram split these reason like this. I am not an author but if I were writing this book personally; I would have either covered all 7 reasons in one chapter or dedicated a chapter to each reason and would be making more robust arguments for each reason. Part 2 of this series was 1 hour and 5 minutes long. I added a lot of my own reasoning following his outline because I agree with Pastor Ingram. The resurrection is such an important thing that if we are not rock solid on that then any other argument for our faith is pointless.) There are those that have said that Jesus didn’t really die and that his death and resurrection were faked by his disciples.

In this video we are going to explore the question did Jesus REALLY die? After all if we are putting all our faith in the resurrection of Christ it is hard have a resurrection if there was never a death.
