    He saved Noah and Lot by not taking them out of the world, but preserving them from the wrath yet still in the world, God knows how to preserve His people, but yet still some will suffer persecution and even martyrdom for their faith….

    Post rapture thinking can also get you in trouble as pre or mid trib rapture does. You simply just need to get rid of that rapture doctrine and stick to Scripture. It's called the second coming. (The SECOND COMING in the Greek does not translate back to a rapture). Satan, defacto, here as antichrist will be his tribualtion, but Yeshua also has a tribulation. There are 2 advents. That is the reason why it's not good to call it pre mid or post. We are not ALL fully or completely judged at the 7th trump when Yeshua returns to dwell with us. Many rapture followers believe that they are judged and living eternally with God when they are raptured, not so. Many that know the truth will then question what trubulation are you considering post. Many don't understand the Lord's day, also called the millenium. At the 7th trump we are all changed back to spirit bodies (for judgement), also called the first death, the first resurrection. After the millenium, that is when the great throne judgement upon ALL will happen. That is the second death, the second resurrection. Jesus will reign with us for 1000 years before the eternity can take place. This is the tribualtion of Yeshua. It is why many are being decieved with this rapture doctrine. It simply has no article in Scripture. I understand when you say post rapture, it simply means we will ALL go through the tribulation of antichrist/hour of temptation, and then Yeshua apears at the 7th trump and Gods wrath happens very quick at the same time. Call it a rapture if it makes you happy but as the Bible teaches, it does not happen till the 7th trump sounds. Second coming, at the last trump, the 7th trump, God's trump.

    I was hardcore pre-trib before I even truly became a believer (grew up in the church but gave my life to Jesus at 21). I read the Left Behind series, saw the movies and used to believe it would happen at any moment (well over 15 years ago). As I studied the scriptures after being drawn to Jesus and surrendering to Him, I began to see countless parallels and examples of God being WITH His church in the midst of tribulation, from Genesis to Revelation. Then, when I came across FAI and GCM, I began to be pulled even more to study further and it all made sense.... terrifying at first, but, knowing that God is in control of the end, makes it worth enduring through to the point of the return of Jesus. The thing now that I am having to get past is not following the 'prepper' crowd, that believes we need to 'survive', when we are called to lay down our lives for Jesus... yes, I believe that we will need to endure, but, only for as long as the Lord will have us here. Many Christians (sadly, much of my brothers and sisters) I fear, will fall away when the pre-trib does not come to pass, while those of us who remain and endure, will have to pull the weight of being strong and answering their questions and encouraging them to endure to the end. I hope that I am ready for that day, and ready to lay down my life for Jesus, as many will not, because they will compromise and take the mark.

    Hi @FAI STUDIOS, I was a pre-triber for over 30 years until I started studying scripture intently on this subject (along with praying and fasting). Just want to say how encouraging this is to hear such clear teaching on this that I can share with others. I’ve been talking to as many friends/family/YouTubbers as I can about this but usually face anger or accusations (that I’m living a sinful life and not hearing from the Spirit of God). Much of what you all have been sharing is exactly what I have been discovering in scripture, sharing, and experiencing (from others). It’s encouraging to see how God is moving in his body to root out this false teaching in order to help us prepare for what’s to come. It also verifies in my heart that the time of (great) tribulation is coming fast for the world (especially in the Western World). Thanks for doing this series, and I can’t wait for the weeks to come to listen to what you will have to say . One action point we all need to take away from this understanding is to pray for one another to have the strength from God, and the resolve, to endure no matter what. We need the Spirit’s leading and power in this. Praying for his wisdom in the day to day practical steps he wants us to take… from spending quality, intimate, time daily with God, to gathering together in home churches, to creating an “underground” network for supplies and food. We need the Spirit’s wisdom and leading.

In my opinion the rapture will happen when it happens. If a Pre-Tribulation Rapture happens that will be a great thing but I'm not going to hold my breath. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst, right?

It's so frustrating to read what makes so much sense to me, only to have someone I respect disagree, but not have anything to help me understand why they are seeing teachings I just cannot see, no matter how I try. It's nice to know I'm not alone, and that the vitriol I've run into at times wasn't needed.

    Having been dreadfully misled by the JW’s for a number of years, I am possibly the most berean person going AND that is why I still follow your sessions diligently. I have been down rabbit hole after rabbit hole and the FAI are the only teachings I have found that are sound and based 💯 on scripture. I also love that you do not sensationalise and go off on your own ideas or whims as nearly all others do! I still peruse occasionally but I see so much goofy and weird stuff, totally unscriptural and I sigh! I have unsubscribed from nearly all other teachers! I love your studies and missed them tremendously. I have felt spiritually starved for some months now…so thank you so much for filling me to the brim with daily studies. May the Lord continue to bless you all and open the hearts of those that listen and check the scriptures. I might also add that the Lord led me to your ministry when I broke down and sobbed to the Lord to reveal Himself. I was knocking and seeking and after desperately praying, sobbing and begging, the very next day I found the FAI! Truly a blessing. Thank the Lord! Hallelujah and thank you FAI, Maranatha

    I grew up in the 80s and was taught the pre-tribulation rapture, a view I held without question until about 3 years ago. They used to teach the church would be raptured out before we would see even the things we’ve witnessed over the last 3 years. I’m so thankful God brought me to the place where I was willing to biblically challenge my beliefs and accept what the Bible teaches about the end times. Today, I hold the pre-wrath rapture position. But I know if I’m wrong and post-tribulation is correct that God can and will seal the church from His wrath He pours out on the earth during the trumpet and bowl judgements.

There has to be some ultimate authority by which we judge all things and that is the scriptures and not our own vision or opinion. Every cult has started with someone saying “God told me…”.

    Excellent, "be a student of the Bible, not a student of your teacher. Too many Christians are students of their teachers, not the Bible." Excellent point Joel. And too many good brothers and sisters don't recognize this in themselves. The same goes for many pastors who merely mimic the teaching of their seminary professors or favorite pastors. A gentle but long overdue rebuke is in order. But, I am confident that the Lord has begun and will continue to awaken the church. This is a necessary series and many will have their eyes and hearts open to this and become prepared for the Lord's work in these coming years. I myself was a pastor who was raised with this popular teaching, but thanks be to the Lord for his gentle prodding in my studies. May the Lord spread this far and wide and may the Bride prepare herself to meet her Lord when He arrives in the clouds. Maranatha!

My view is the same as yours and it's great to get confirmation from the Lord that my approach will be the correct one. I used to be a pre tribber. I love my Church friends, but they are scared. They see what's coming and some are starting to cry at the thought that the rapture might not be pre and they will have to be martyred. I've felt God asking me to start this meeting, so I can somehow help Him to build these family up in their faith so they are kept from the hour of temptation by the armor of God in full. I love our Lord so so much. Thanks for doing these videos, I'm always learning but I know a post trib is the case. I'm eager to see the rest.

    That's powerful.When Joel was talking about what Pre-Tribbers might end up calling "The Great Disappointment" (my term, not his, but he mentioned all would be disappointed at least)--and all the accompanying confusion and even falling away--you know what I thought of? How many Americans now are getting angry, scared, disappointment and disorientation over the lack of The Plan materializing. General Flynn recently said "Plan? What plan? Someone tell me there is a plan, because I'd love it if there was one, I don't know anything about it!" People are asking "where's Q?" "What's going on?" "What about Nuremburg 2?" It's really painful to see. Many are still clinging to the idea that the military will back Trump and bring about an overturning of the current situation which is definitely not about America being great again, it's more about sovereignty being eroded in all Western nations. All of them. To pave the way for a New World Order. Which is what the Bible forecasted, is it not? Though I agree with the Mid-East Beast view of FAI. This is still part of the unfolding. At any rate, the feeling amongst the Q-Anon people is getting grim. I see by their comments on Rumble for example, they are bitterly disappointed and disillusioned, and many still cling to the illusion that "someone" is fixing to bring down the Plan. I can only imagine the magnitude of disillusionment and discouragement and FEAR amongst those who believer fervently in a pre-Trib rapture. Praying that now the believers prepare themselves. I've been praying about this for several years, since the Lord led me to FAI through leading me to Joel and his teachings. I was literally told his name, Joel. Richardson...in prayer! When I was asking where to find out about end time prophecy. I'd come across the pre-Trib idea only a couple of years before, in reading the Ouest commentaries. Ouest was a pre-Tribber, and I was intrigued at the idea, and looked at his texts. they were not convincing to me as I was in a post-Trib church as a teen and young adult. After that I was in the wilderness for a couple of decades...before the Lord finally got that lost sheep rounded up once again! Thank God!

    I’m glad Joel and Dalton are addressing this issue. I went to see Joel in a small town in Manitoba in 2014. A man by the name Reggie Kelly happened to be there and everything I believed related to the rapture was suddenly being challenged. Coming from the pretrib camp, I decided to dig deep. Long story short, it became clear to me that there was just no way to reconcile that theory with scripture. And I for one am glad I was challenged on it. Never apologize for challenging a false teaching. I look forward to the upcoming sessions.

My stance is that if Jesus doesn’t come get us before Tribulation, then I’ll continue to stand in faith, just like I do today. As my Pastor says, it will ALL pan out in the end. Jesus reigns & I will be with Him for eternity. Not because of me, but because of what He did on the cross. And as He waits for the Father to give Him the go ahead, I will rejoice!

    I have been in the charismatic non denominational church all through my life up until 3 years ago, and my early years where a lot like Joel’s So to feel something amazing or have an experience in worship was something I longed for. This pre-tribulation teaching was imbedded in my soul and if you didn’t believe it you were probably not saved. Three years ago my pastor was taking an offering and said all of you, your new year will be better than last year overflowing ! I thought how does he know that ? Because I gave money ? So I started learning the Bible I had to strip all of my filters and start believing what I was reading and stop reading what I believe ! I love you guys man ! It was tough for me at first but my own study was taking down this road and then I heard you guys teaching, and it’s been a great study. I love how you say be a Berean .. and it’s true cause most of the church in pews today will say amen to just about anything preached sadly enough.. Great video The king is coming and until He gets here learn, pray, love and be prepared ! We can die for our country but not the Gospel ? Let that sink in .. Maranatha !

The Lord got me out when I was in High School. So I was listening to both sides but something in me never felt comfortable with the idea of just vanishing. I too am worried those holding tightly to this man made doctrine will not be prepared. I see it playing a role in the great apostasy as well. Isn't this mainly taught in the states (West)?

    @@MrThatWatchman The Holy Spirit is needed to teach us ALL truth WHEN WE READ & STUDY " meditate upon" the Word of God FOR OURSELVES, "line upon line and precept (concept) upon precept", first of all; only using teachers to sharpen us, to make us go back and READ AND MEDITATE UPON AGAIN to check ourselves and make sure we have heard from the Holy Spirit or from ANOTHER spirit about the IMPORTANT CONCEPT an entire passage. Here above, you are cutting these scriptures out of the larger context (subject and MAIN point, the author and their audience in the time in which the passage is written) of each of these four the ENTIRE passages. Your approach has rendered the conclusions you have come to falsity for you. I suggest that you have mis heard from a deceiving spirit in this matter. PROBABLY because you have been TAUGHT BY MEN wayward ideas of Dispensationalism. Yes, Jesus taught a tiny bit different BEFORE He raised from the dead and conquered evil than He did AFTER... because BEFORE He had to tell the Disciples to keep within the laws of Rome so that they did not end up in jail so as to be able to preach the Gospel to the Jews FIRST. After He raised from the dead He was about commissioning them to go out to the WHOLE WORLD, JEW AND GENTILE. I humbly suggest you might ASK the Holy Spirit to guide you about the validity of the approach of Dispensationalism through time, BEFORE you attempt to decipher any more scripture, because it is obviously skewing your conclusions to the wrong side. However, thank you for your comment, because iron sharpens iron, and it sent me, along with the Holy Spirit, on a 10 hour long, straight through quest in my Bible. I learned so much, as always!

    @@MrThatWatchman the Bible is an invitation to know Jesus more. The Bible is a treasure that thousands have willingly laid down their lives to possess, translate, and distribute so that others can have a copy in their own language. The following is a true story that shows the importance of daily Biblereading. While I was struggling with depression Satan often tried to get me to skip reading my Bible . He would put such thoughts into my mind as “I'm so tired I should just skip reading my Bible and sleep", "God understands how tired I am He won't mind if I don't read my Bible today" or “Why bother to read your Bible God doesn't care about you anyway” as I reached for my Bible. But because I had already established a strong habit of spending time in the Bible from years of daily Bible reading I was able to push those thoughts out of my head, pick up my Bible, and read. Shortly after Jesus rescued me I was thinking about how satan had tried to get me to give up reading my Bible and God told me that if I had given up on reading my Bible I would have given up on Him. I cannot stress enough how important it is to establish a habit of daily Bible reading because when the storm comes if we give up on reading God's word Satan has already won half the battle.

When asked what proof do you have there is a God or what is the one thing that proves God to me such as creation or historic prophecy ect. I often say it's the personal testimony of millions of believers. It's my personal struggle and the difference The Lord made in my life. Testimony is so strong Joel. I also have been questioned of my faith for not being pretrib. Was even told I needed I may not be saved and needed to search my heart and pray for salvation. I honestly was never taught pre trib honestly don't remember ever hearing about it in church as I attended as a child with my grandparents and that was a very very very long time ago. I didn't know the Lord in my adult life untill close to 3 years ago , I came back to my childhood faith after a very dark life of struggle. The church was NOTHING like remembered snd I questioned if maybe I was forgetting something. Thank The Lord my family was around to guide me and I found the FAI ministry early in those days.
