    People tend to listen to "authorities" for what they believe. Researching is hard work, and not everyone knows how to do it. I think this is why it's important to go to the Best Teacher - The Holy Spirit. We don't have to be learned, scholarly people to know. Thank you for all you do Joel!

    I was taught the pre-trib rapture in every church I went to. Most churches I'm aware of teach it. When I realized the truth, I felt very sad. The church has been deceived on this topic, as well as the "once saved, always saved". Most of my friends are pre-trib and will not even listen to FAI. They are in for a rude Awakening when they ultimately learn the truth. I am so thankful God opened my eyes to this truth. Thank you for your teaching!

    Same here, I never even heard about a post Tribulation rapture before about a year and a half ago. When I heard it, I didn't want to believe it, but hearing and reading the New Testament I couldn't deny the truth. The pre trib rapture is not true. My family won't hear it, but I got my husband to see the truth and he no longer believes in pre trib either.

    One thing I’ve found that my pre-trib brothers and sisters often say is “Come Lord Jesus” when implying the rapture, though Scripture says His return will be post-trib. It had me thinking that a pre-trib view is dogmatic because it’s a Me-centered doctrine. Save me is held higher than Christ’s 2nd coming, though I don’t think that’s their intent. It they truly meant “Come Lord Jesus” based on Scripture they would know that comes with enduring. Just something I’ve observed. Bless you all and Joel, for your study and unapologetic stance.

    I gave a very loving church a second chance recently after a year and a half. They had some funky teachings and entertained some questions I wasn't willing but the church is fruitful and a have the love of God truly in them. Unfortunately I showed up this last Sunday and they were playing FAI studios clips like this and many others as an example of false teachings on tribulation and rapture. They never said structurally how they were wrong but just showed them to shock the congregation into discomfort over possibly having to endure tribulation. I mentioned to the pastor after the service that fai studios had pre challenged him by saying they would debate anyone who disagreed with he content of the videos and I would let them know he'd be in touch. He got very mad and said to not bother and stormed off. The looks I got from that loving church questioning they're safety of being to special to endure persecution was very telling and very revealing of how the church will turn against their own in the last days.

    Pre-trib rapture is false doctrine, and it goes directly against multiple Scriptures. "NOW we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Adonai Yahusha Ha'Mashiach, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by ruach, nor by word, nor by cepher as from us, as that the day of Yahuah is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called Elohiym, or that is worshipped; so that he as Elohiym sits in the Temple of Elohiym, showing himself that he is Elohiym. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know את what withholds that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Lawless One be revealed, whom Yahuah shall consume with the Ruach of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: את Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause Elohiym shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the Truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." TASLONIQIYM SHENIY (2 THESSALONIANS) 2:1-12 את CEPHER It's pre-wrath, not pre-trib.

In the DAY Noah he went into the ark, the door closed and judgment came. With Lot it was the same way. He was taken out and that very day Sodom and Gomorrah was completely destroyed. Most people I know who believe in post-tribulation Rapture, including myself, believe it is prewrath. That means we will be raptured up just before the final day of the Lord where judgment comes down. That is the most logical and fits with Scripture.

    The inherent danger in believing in a pre-trib rapture is expecting to escape persecution. We in the US, have been so blessed that we have not been persecuted for our beliefs.... yet. It is frankly, a life and death situation in many parts the world. Are we ready if it comes to that in our country? We all hope that it will not come to that, but I believe eventually that will be the case. In how many years? We just do not know. Remember the apostles with the exception of maybe John died for their faith. Can we expect anything less if things come to worse? I certainly pray nothing like that happens to us but if it does, are we prepared to keep the faith? I fear the people who believe in the rapture will be so disillusioned if it does not come to pass. We need to prepare ourselves. To be clear, there are many brothers and sisters in Christ who believe in the rapture. Many are in the ministry and are doing great things for the Lord, but I am concerned for them if their eschatological world view does not come to pass. God Bless everyone!

    The Question should really be "What did the Early Church believe about the Harpazo! Remember that the Early Church was not English! Remember the Early Church spoke Greek! Remember the Early Church were told by Paul that when the Parousia / Coming of Jesus takes place, then we will Partake in the Resurrection and then we will be Together "Harpazo" up into the Clouds so as to Meet Church! The Early Church that spoke Greek, knew exactly what the Greek Word "Harpazo" meant and they all knew how it was always used in the Greek Language! Lets all Learn what Harpazo means and then Repeat as Paul did Prophesy about our Lords Coming and the Resurrection and the our being Together Harpazo up into the Clouds so as to Meet Jesus! Too many today have changed what Harpazo means and they have also changed what Rapiemur and Rapture means as well. Paul certainly never ever Taught a Pre Trib Coming of Jesus nor a Pre Trib Harpazo that will as we all know only ever take place after the Resurrection!

    I had a dream one night that nations were rising against Israel, and they were surrounding it's borders. I ran to my Mom's house and found them watching the news, and we all just knew.... this was the battle of Armageddon. We were taught that was the sign of the rapture being near. We went to church that night, and we were surprised to find that the church was open 24/7, and everyone was waiting patiently to be raptured. I found it odd that people were sitting there with suitcases and worldly treasures because after all, weren't we leaving this world soon? I stepped into the next room over, and there was a guy sitting alone in the corner of the room all by himself at a white folding table. As I walked over, people were scoffing him and telling me not to talk to him. I debated it for a second and decided to walk over anyway and see what he had for sale on his table. He said take one of these books, you'll need it. I said what is the book and how much is it. He said it's free. I picked it up and opened it and it was a plastic, bubble style book that you see babies teething with, and when I opened it... it lit up on the inside of the pages so you could read them in the dark. I said what is this and kind of laughed thinking, okay, this is why people told me to not talk to you.... he said it's a manual of all of the signs, trumpets and bowls of judgment so you'll know when Jesus' return is near. I said he's returning any minute, what do you mean?.... that's when I read the cover of the book and it said The Rapture, The Great Deception. It's like I went through a time warp because I took the book, turned around and it was after the mark of the beast and everyone refusing the mark was starving. Some were humble but sad, watching their children share a single plate while they starved. Some men and women were crying at the sorrow of watching their families starving. But some were scoffing God and mad because they were lied to and now faced trials and tribulations that they were told they could escape. This caused a falling away of people from the church and God. Needless to say, I woke up and was pretty irritated that I had that dream. It didn't match anything that I had known about Revelations. It wasn't until I heard a guy on coast to coast years later that was explaining post trib and why pre trib was a Great Deception. I'm thankful that I was given that dream. That was about 15 years ago. Just sharing my dream with you all. Sorry it's so long.

    WOW! THAT IS AMAZING! In your very introduction you said something very profound to me.... Long story short, I was really struggling with some things( not sins) and it took a deep study into the doctrine of Righteousness by Faith in order for me to come out of it and be released from a RELIGIOUS spirit! It didn't come easy! I searched the Scriptures and let the Holy Spirit show me the truth...I fought between what I had heard and say under, and what I was finding in the Word. When I was completely convinced BY THE SCRIPTURES, and settled it in my heart that THE WORD was right..and what I had been told was wrong..I said to God...ok. Then I said " Well, if this is right...then what about the Rapture? Do you know what the response was from the Holy Spirit? Plain as day..he said to me- "WHEN DID THE PRE- TRIBULATION RAPTURE BEGIN TO BE PREACHED?" ( almost exactly what you said in the into!) This was such a profound question to me, and one that I had NEVER thought to ask myself! ( I was a pre-trib rapture believer myself at the time..but I did have questions, obviously). This question from the Spirit set me on a journey...and after much study, I have not believed in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theory since...that was like 17 years ago or more. I thank God that you guys are being bold, but kind, and trying to help others to see the truth. I do not have many friends now in the church community because of my view on this. But my concern is that THE BELIEF IN THE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE THEORY WILL HELP LEAD SOME, A GREAT DEAL MAYBE...FURTHER INTO APOSTASY. Let's pray that those who have ears to hear will hear... before it's too late. Blessings.

    Scripture tells us the rapture is after persecution and the great tribulation: In Revelation 20:4,5, John sees the souls of those who were beheaded for refusing to take the mark of the beast or worshipping his image during the great tribulation, and he says they are part of the first resurrection: KJV Revelation 20:4 - And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 - But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. "This is the first resurrection" is pertaining to verse 4. How do we know that? Because the 2nd resurrection is at the end of the 1000 years: "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished". Now, what happens AFTER the first resurrection, which includes people beheaded for not worshipping the beast during the reign of the antichrist in the great tribulation (Rev 20:4)? Let's look at scripture: KJV 1 Thessalonians 4:16 - For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 - Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. It says the Lord descends from Heaven first ("For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven"), then the first resurrection ("and the dead in Christ shall rise first"), which involves those who were beheaded for refusing the antichrist during the great tribulation (Rev 20:4), and THEN the rapture at the end ("Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds") Scripture is clear.

    Just out of curiosity because I am new to this channel, does FAI associate itself with a particular denomination or doctrine of faith. For example, does FAI lean toward an Arminian, Calvinist, or some other theology system, and does FAI affiliate as Baptist, Methodist, etc? I am just wondering so I can get an idea of what you believe Biblically. I just want to get to know this channel and its statement of faith. I read a lot of books by different denominations and watch videos from different denominations so long as they are true to Scripture. The areas where they diverge from the Bible I just pay that stuff no mind but realize I can learn from many sources so long as like I said what they are teaching is in agreement with the Holy written Word of God. I am trying to learn. As for me, I personally identify as a Reformed Faith similar to guys like R.C. Sproul, John MacArthur, C.H. Spurgeon, A.W. Pink, etc.

    It’s also awesome how all the early Church fathers agreed about everything being nations apart writing same teachings up until around 400 A.D. once the Church started merging with the world’s government in the west things started getting fouled up. While the eastern Church even to this day pretty much stayed the same, they even still use the Septuagint. Which the Apostles quote 90% from the Septuagint.

    He let all the apostles get tortured, exiled and murdered; what makes us think we are any better to get out of the tribulations He promised we would have? They are to purify us, as Joel read, and in this day and age especially, we are surrounded by impurity. I was just thinking about how easy it is, with today’s technology, to be inundated with evil. So much more so than even when I was growing up before computers or internet. We need the world taken out of us no doubt! Our tribulations will require a decision between set-apartness, or worldliness.

    'Concluding Analysis Critics of rapture history who have argued that belief in the pretribulational rapture was not embraced before John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) deny the clear testimony of theologians and commentators of earlier periods. The clear statements of Pseudo-Ephraem, John Gill, and others now make clear that pretribulationism has had a long and credible history of people who understood it,, taught it, and who lived their lives in light of it.'

    I just found this channel. Within the last year, after years of reading my Bible all the way through every year starting in 2010 I have stopped believing in the pretrib rapture due to I noticed I saw no mention of it anywhere in Scripture. The other clincher for me is Christ's words when He stated He would return after the tribulation of those days in Matthew 24 and Mark 13. I also began questioning the pretrib rapture when I began to question why preachers were interpreting certain passages in favor of the pretrib rapture when the Scripture they were referring to gave no clear or obvious reference to a pretrib rapture. I have heard for years that Revelation 4 teaches the pretrib rapture. When I read that chapter, there is no reference or reason to think that chapter is speaking of a rapture of the church, let alone a pretrib rapture. I am looking forward to hearing what you have to say on this subject. I will check out your other videos in this series as well. I learned a while back that the pretrib rapture theory did not come about until around 1830 or so. J.N. Darby, I learned was the one that really got the pretrib rapture teaching started and made it popular through preachers like Moody and Scofield, etc.

    Or they split the 1st resurrection into 2 parts. The rapture, where Jesus comes down and does an immediate U-turn. Then the 2d coming which is technically the 3rd after the U-turn which is then the 1st resurrection which is technically the 2d
