The Rapture and the Event That Will Happen the Day Of
About this video
Steve recorded this on December 14, 2025, after reports that the Rapture might happen on Hanukkah. That is not what the Bible says, he explains. God does not give us the day or the hour, but He does tell us the time, and the event that will happen that day.
Steve shows that the Rapture comes at the last trump, the seventh trumpet of Revelation 11:15, on the night the man of sin is revealed in a rebuilt Third Temple. Satan's wrath, the Great Tribulation, follows for three and a half years, and then God's wrath is poured out in Revelation 16.

What's discussed
- Why setting dates (like Hanukkah) misses what God's word says.
- Matthew 24:15-21: when believers see the abomination of desolation, the Great Tribulation begins.
- Luke 17: "the Son of man is revealed" is Satan claiming to be the Messiah, and that night one is taken and one is left.
- 2 Thessalonians 2: the coming of the Lord (at Armageddon) and our gathering together unto Him (in the middle of the covenant) are two different events.
- 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 and Revelation 10:7: the mystery of God is finished when the seventh angel begins to sound. Steve explains why this is not the Feast of Trumpets.

- Daniel 12: a time of trouble such as never was, and knowledge increased at the time of the end.
- Revelation is meant to be understood (Revelation 1:3). Satan's wrath comes first, then God's wrath in Revelation 16.
- The sixth trumpet now: the river Euphrates, a war that kills a third of mankind, and measuring the temple.
- AI-generated deception as a sign of the end: Jesus' first warning was not to be deceived, and Steve says we will not always be able to believe what we see.
- The mark drawing near: Steve says the World Economic Forum and other world elites want to microchip everybody by 2030.
- The two witnesses, the mark of the beast, and why the Rapture will not be "at any moment".

Common questions
Will Christians go through the Great Tribulation?
Steve says no. Those who trust in Jesus Christ are caught up at the last trump, the seventh trumpet, before Satan's three and a half years of wrath. Christians will still face persecution before then.
What is the last trump?
Steve teaches that the last trump in 1 Corinthians 15:52 is the seventh trumpet of Revelation, which begins to sound in Revelation 11:15. Revelation 10:7 says the mystery of God is finished when it sounds.
Can anyone set a date for the Rapture?
No. Steve says predictions like Hanukkah are not what the Bible says. We do not know the day or hour, but we are told the event: the man of sin revealed in the temple of God.

Good day. Today is December the 14th, 2025. I got some uh very interesting news. Good good good stuff. Um what we want to talk about today is the rapture of the church. Um man, there's so many people telling us the rapture is going to happen this day. The rapture is going to happen that day. Um, I just seen some new reports now that the rapture could happen on Hanukkah of this year, um, the 17th. Um, this this is just not the fact. Um, we need to understand what God's word says. God tells us exactly when the rapture is going to happen, what's going to happen, the event that's going to happen on that day. Now, it does not give us the exact day or hour, but God does give us the time. He he tells us he gives us a command to learn learn the parable of the fig tree.
When it sits branches yet tender put forth leaves you know summer's near. Likewise when you see all these things happening know it's near even at the door. I tell you this generation shall not pass all these things be fulfilled. Says heaven and earth shall pass away but my word shall not pass away. So the disciples came to him years ago and they had the same question that we have today. Uh Matthew 24 it says, "And Jesus went out and departed from the temple. And his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, see not all these things. Verily I tell tell you, there shall not be one left here, one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down."
And as he sat upon the mount of the olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what shall be the sign of thy coming? and the end of the age. So, the disciples had the same questions we have today. When's he coming back? We've heard it for 2,000 years. Well, the thing is people did not understand what the Bible prophecies has told us. God has written everything in his word that we should know when when he's when when he's going to come. And of course, Jesus goes on tells them in Matthew 24, you shall see wars, rumors of wars, pestilence in diverse places, um nation rising against nation. We're seeing all this stuff right now. And we've seen this stuff for for years.
But it goes on and tell us in Matthew 24, it says in in verse 15, it says, "When you shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place. Whosoever readeth, let him understand. Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains. Let them which be on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house. Neither let them which will be in the field return to take back any of his clothes. And woe to them that are with child and them that give suck in those days. But pray that your flight not be in the winter nor on the Sabbath. For then shall great tribulation such was not since the beginning of the world to this time no nor shall ever be.
So who's he who's he talking to when he says when you shall see the abomination of desolation? Obviously he was talking to his disciples at the at the time but the disciples wrote it down in a book the Holy Bible so that the believers can read it and understand what he's saying. So this is written to all the believers. So the believers when they see the abomination of desolation. Okay. This happens in the middle of a seven-year covenant signed with the many for seven years. And in the middle of that seven years, this world leader is going to stand in a Jewish rebuilt third temple claiming to be the Messiah. The Bible tells us it's at that time um one shall be taken, one shall be left. That's in in Luke.
We'll read that here in just a second because it tells us at the time of the abomination of desolation. So he says when you see that that you know that the great tribulation is here. So that's the beginning of the great tribulation. So let's go in Luke and see what it talks about. Now remember we just talked about some of the signs that'll happen during the that abomination of desolation. And then it goes it says in Luke 17 it says the days will come when thou shalt desire to see one of the days of the son of man and you shall not see it. Then it goes on says for as the lightning lightth out of the one part of the heaven and shineth into the other part so also shall the son of man be in his day.
So when Jesus comes back we're all going to know exactly what that happens. It's going to be lightning shining from one side to the other side as from the east to the west. The whole world will see it. Now, Satan comes claiming to be the Messiah. If you go on down in Luke um 17:30, it says, "Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed." Okay. Well, there's two different things. Jesus is coming back. He's not going to be revealed. He's coming back and splitting the sky from from the east to the west. Satan comes claiming to be the Messiah. And he is revealed when he stands in the Jewish rebuilt temple claiming to be the Messiah. That will be the great tribulation. It says, "Even though even thus shall it be in the days when the son of man is revealed.
In that day, he which is upon the housetop and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away." Remember we just read that in Matthew 24 when the disciples came to him and asked him what shall be the sign of thy coming. It says let him not come down to take anything away and he that is in the field let him likewise not turn back. Goes on to tell you 34 I tell you that night well what night? The day that the son of man re is revealed which is Satan claiming to be the Messiah. That day I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed, and one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding together, but one shall be taken in the other left. Two men shall be in a field, one shall be taken, one left.
Somehow another, it says two men shall be in one bed. And um in in the Middle Eastern countries and stuff, they don't they're not spooked like we are here in the United States. We've got multiple bedrooms. We got big houses. A lot of people over there, they all share a room and their whole families sleep together. Like they'll have one bedroom because I've got friends and I've known people pastors and um other countries and they all share the same room. Some you could have two people, two men in in the same bedroom. One shall be taken, one shall be left because not everybody's going to be be a believer. So Jesus is telling us in this part when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel stand in the holy place that's when the great tribulation happens and when the son of man is revealed that will be Satan.
So we're going to go on and look at 2 Thessalonians and uh we'll read what this says right here. It says, "Now we beseech you by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together into him." If you notice, it's explaining two different things. It's talking about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Well, we know he comes at the battle of Armageddon, which will be in the end the middle at the end of a seven-year covenant signed with the many. After seven years, he's coming back at the battle of Armageddon. And it also talks about um and by our gathering together in him. We're going to be gathered together with him in the middle of that seven-year covenant. It's not a seven-year tribulation period.
It's a seven-year covenant signed with the many. And in the middle of that, there shall Jesus himself says when you see the abomination of desolation, that's in the middle of that seven-year covenant. He says that's when the great tribulation happens. That's that last three and a half years of that seven-year covenant. Now it says, "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together in him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled, neither by spirit nor by word nor by letter as from us as the day of Christ is at hand." So he goes on and says, "Let no man deceive you by any means. For that day shall not come except to come a fallen away first and a man of sin be revealed the son of predition who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped so that he as God sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God.
Well, that happens in the middle of a seven-year covenant just like Jesus told you. That will be the abomination of desolation. He's going to set up his image and he's going to make everybody worship him that last three and a half years um on the earth. So, we're seeing all of this stuff happening. The rapture is going to happen the day that the um that world leader stands in a Jewish rebuild temple claiming to be the Messiah. So, we looked at that. Now, we're going to let's just go back and see what um what is the rapture exactly what you know what what's going to go on that day. And it talks about in first Corinthians it says, "Behold, I show you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of the eye, at the last trump.
For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruption must put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality. So he's telling us right here in First Corinthians, we shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. Well, is there a last? What trump is he talking about? A lot of people call think that it's the trumpet of the um feast of trumpets that the Jewish people the festivals that they have. But if you read what this book says right here, it says at the last trump. So is there a last trumpet in the in this book? Well, there just so happens to be and it's in Revelation 11. The last trumpet begins to sound.
Now, this is pretty cool, too. Uh, Revelation 10:7 says, "But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, that's with the seventh trumpet, when he shall begin the sound, the mystery of God shall be finished, as he has declared to his servants and the prophets." Well, we just read right there that I'll show you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed in a moment in the twinkle night at the last trump. And then in Revelation 10:7, it goes on and reaffirms that. It says, "But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God shall be finished as he has declared to his servants and the prophets." So, we're going to see what happens at the last trumpet.
Revelation chapter 11 starting at 15. It says, "And the seventh angel, which is seventh angel with the seventh trumpet, sounded, and there was great voices in heaven, saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever." It goes on down says, "And the nations were angry that thy wrath has come in and the time of the dead that they should be judged. And they that should give reward unto the servants, the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, both small, great, and uh small, and should destroy them which destroyth the earth." Now, we're going to continue on. This all this stuff happens during the seventh trumpet era.
And it talks about it says um in Revelation 12:7 still during the seven trumpet era said there was a war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought and the dragon and the dragon fought and his angels and prevailed not neither was their place found anymore in heaven. And that great dragon was cast out that old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceived the whole world. He is cast out into the earth. And his angels were cast out with him. And they heard a loud voice in heaven saying, "Now during the seven trumpet era, now has come salvation and the strength of the kingdom of God and the power of his Christ. For the accuser of the brethren is cast down, which accused them before God day and night."
Satan right now is in heaven accusing you and me of every wrong thing that we've ever done. He's telling us, you know, hey, look at look at what Steve did right there today. him, you know, but through the blood of Jesus Christ and through our acceptance of him and his free gift of salvation, he has taken our penalty which every one of us deserved and he has put it on himself that all that believe in him shall be saved. So in in um you know John 3:16's favorite um one of the favorite Bible verses most people know for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. So and then it goes on to say for God did not come to the world to condemn the world but through him the world may be saved.
So the world is condemned already. All of us. There's not a single one of us who is worthy to go to heaven. Not a single one of our great deeds, good deeds, nothing we can do is going to enter that is going to allow us to enter into the kingdom of heaven. So Jesus Christ came and done what nobody could do. He came and lived that perfect life that all the who believe in him and give their life to him surrender to him acknowledging that we are all sinners in need of a savior. It's at that moment Jesus Christ will come and indwell with us, give us the Holy Spirit and and save us of our sins and what we deserved, he took upon himself and died on a cross so that we don't have to do. So you continue reading this right here.
So we just tal we just seen that there's a war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought. Well, if we go to Daniel chapter 12, if you go to Daniel 12:12, it tells us again when uh it says, "And at that time, which time, you know, 7 8 9 10 11 of the book of Daniel talks about the nations that'll be upon the earth, um the antichrist coming into power, what he's going to do, and all of this." And then chapter 12 it says and at that time when the antichrist comes he said um he says at that time shall Michael stand up that great prince which standeth before the children of thy people and there shall be a time of trouble such as was never since there was a nation even to that same time that again that that time of trouble is the great tribulation.
It starts right here. It's when Jesus told it starts and it ends at the battle of Armageddon when Jesus comes back to the earth puts down the nations that come down against Israel and Satan is bound for a thousand years. He says it's at that time the time of great tribulation a time of uh trouble since never was from the beginning um since there was a nation even to that same time. It says, "It's at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be written in the book, and many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt." And he goes on to tell Daniel says, "But d but thou, oh Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book even till the time of the end."
So when will this time of the end be? Well, he tells us, he said, "Many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased." So, it's going to be sealed up until the time of the end. And then it tells us at the time of the end, people be running to and fro and knowledge shall be increased. I mean, up until some odd years ago, the fastest way to get anywhere was either a a boat or a horse and buggy. But now people are running to and fro throughout the earth like it's nothing. I mean we can be on the other side of world tomorrow. And look at how knowledge has increased. I mean just look how it's increased since just in the last few months let alone the last 50 years. So he's telling us there's going to be a time of trouble since never was before a nation and never will be again.
That's a great tribulation. He's telling us that it's at that time one shall be delivered and one shall be uh one shall be taken, one shall be left. That'll be the um the rapture of the church. It says some some await to everlasting life, some to everlasting contempt. So I mean we're we're we're narrowing it down to where the rapture of the church is. So if the rapture of the church happens at Revelation chapter and chapter 11 and it will um it's at the last trump. Everything prior to that last trumpet will happen before the church is raptured up. Now in saying that we're not guaranteed tomorrow. We could die today. I could die on the way to church tonight. I mean any of the as far as any of us always need to be ready to meet our Lord and Savior at any moment any one of us could pass away and be in either the presence of the Lord we're going to have to give an account for what we did here on the earth.
Do we accept Jesus Christ and his free gift of salvation or are we going to answer for our own sins? So, one of the things in the book of Revelation that I thought was pretty cool, the whole book of Revelation is very neat. Um, a lot of people are scared of the book of Revelation. They don't understand it. They don't know what it means. So, I'm going to read chapter one real quick. It says, "The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass. And he sent and signified it by his angels and to his servant John, who bear record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein, for the time is at hand.
Why would God give us a a book and said, "Blessed are those who read and those who hear if it can't be a book that we could understand." We can understand it. A lot of people, a lot of pastors, I've heard a lot of good godly men say, "Don't even teach out of the book of Revelation because for one thing, they don't understand what it is. And it it causes a lot of controversy." Well, we need to understand what the book of Revelation says because if it tells us all the things that's going to happen when Jesus ascended into heaven and the things that's going to happen to earth, us here on earth, and it's not what God is doing to us here here on the earth. God is telling us what we're going to do to ourselves here on the earth.
And um and then Satan's wrath comes right here in the middle of a seven-year covenant. Satan's going to have the first three and a half years of wrath upon the earth. And then it's at chapter 16 that God's wrath is poured out. And the very first thing that God's wrath is poured out upon is all those who have taken the mark of the beast. So if we're raptured up at the seventh trumpet, which I believe we are, so that means we got to go through all the other six trumpets. So, this is one of the things that this is where we're at right now. And um let me find it real quick. It talks about um and the sixth Oh, I'm sorry. Revelation 9 um 13 it says, "And the sixth angel sounded." That's the sixth trumpet.
And I heard a voice from from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before God, saying to the six angels, which had the trumpet, loose the four angels, which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour and a day, and a month, and a year for to slay a third part of men. They're supposed to be a third part of manind. I believe this started with the war on terrorism, and they've still used that for an excuse. It's it, you know, tells us it's it's pretty much going to be a a prolonged war. Um, in in the third part of mankind's going to die during that during that part. And the reason I believe that we're in that sixth trumpet era right now is because of the war that's happening right now.
Israel had to be a nation. All of this stuff is happening um in our lifetime. But not only the Israel, the the third part is going to be killed. It talks about um during that same time that um it said there there was two witnesses that come to the earth. It says and there was given to me a reed like unto a rod and the angel stood saying rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and them that worship therein. This is still during the sixth trumpet era. Well, right now in Jerusalem, they're measuring the altar just like this is sin. They're fixing to rebuild the third temple. There's a war happening over there that's escalating as we speak, which is going to kill a third part of mankind before the rapture of the church.
Everybody is playing Russian roulette with their lives at this moment, apart from Jesus Christ. Why would Jesus say, "Blessed are those who hear the prophecies of this book." I believe it's because we're going to know that when Jesus is coming. We're going to know the approximate time. We're going to know the events that's going to happen. And we need to give our life to Jesus Christ cuz apart from him there is nothing um when we die you know what's what's going to happen to our body um our soul when we leave this place. Jesus tells us that we're going to live either one place or another. We're either going to be with him forever in eternity or we're going to be apart from him. in everlasting contempt because we did not believe the truth of the gospel which saved us.
We had more pleasure in our unrighteousness. We'd rather do the things that we want to do here on the earth. We'd rather, you know, not have somebody tell us what to do. But this book right here is not God telling us what to do to make us miserable. It's God's telling us what to do in this book for us to have joy and have peace and to have everlasting life. Uh it's for our protection that we marry, that we have one wife. We're not out here running around with everybody in the world getting all these diseases and all this other stuff. I mean, God God has told us things that'll happen in this book for a reason. And um you know it's how we treat others how we want to be treated. You know do unto others as you'd have them do unto you.
So if you don't want somebody cheating you why would you cheat somebody else. Uh if you don't want nobody stealing from you why would you want you know if you're not going to steal from somebody else you you don't want nobody stealing you don't want nobody killing you don't if we lived by this book this world would be a much better place. Now God in God's promises, he has promised to make a new heaven and a new earth. All these old things are going to pass away. Everything that we've ever known right now has been death, has been sorrow. We've lived a life of sin. This body is sinful. Uh the flesh is sinful. Our desires that we want in life are sinful. Um, but God has given us his life now and we can live it in in abundance.
You know, God says he's got in store for th we can't even imagine what God has in store for those who believe and trust in him. If we're joint hes with Christ and he owns everything, we're going to be joint hes with him. Ultimately, we'll have our Lord and Savior, the one who saved us from everlasting punishment. Now, if he made us, and he did, he created the world. Nothing was made that was not made through him. Then he owns it all. We get him and then everything that he owns. It's just like being adopted into into a family. You know, once you're adopted into that family, you're part of that family now. So we Christians who acknowledge that we're sinners and need of a savior and ask Jesus Christ to come and save our lives.
We are now adopted into his family and he is the creator of the world. He owns it all. We are nowhere now joint hes with him. All this stuff here on the earth is all going to burn up and and be destroyed. Now, what's crazy is there's going to be during that millennial reign of Christ, there's going to be mortals and immortal people upon the earth. We will be raptured up at the last trump just like the Bible says. And uh that last trumpet begins Revelation chapter 11. Um we shall be changed a moment and twinkle at the last trump. So everything before that will happen. God has give us uh give us all the prophecies of this book so that we can understand. He didn't leave us in the dark. Um all the stuff that's going on in the world.
You know, the Bible talks about there'll be a system set up in the last days where every person will have to receive a mark in their hand or in their forehead or they will not be able to buy or sell except the person who has the mark of the beast. What people don't understand is this whole world system, all of this stuff that's going on belongs to Satan. Bible says Satan is the god of this world. All of this stuff that's happening right now, Satan is behind it. He's causing all of it to come together. All of this AI generated stuff that you see, it's going to be a time of great deception. One of the very first things when the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, "What shall be the sign of thy coming in the end of the age?"
First thing he says is do not be deceived. All of this AI stuff and everything that's going on in the world will be de very deceptive. You're not going to be able to believe what you see sometimes. But this right here is the only thing that we can truly believe in. And if it lines up with God's word, then it's true. So when God's word warns us that there'll be a system set up in the last days where you have to receive a mark or you won't be able to buy or sell, I'm going to believe this word. And what's happening in the world today, they're setting up a system where if you don't receive that mark, you're not going to be able to buy or sell. That was foretold from to us over 2,000 years ago for our protection.
So that we will know God did not leave us in the dark. Bible says that my people perish for lack of knowledge. This thing, this mark of the beast right now, it's out there at this moment. People are voluntarily taking the mark of the beast without even knowing. They think, "Oh, well, it can't happen because uh Satan has not been revealed yet and it won't happen to the church." Well, they're not reading what God's word says. It will happen to a lot of people. God said, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." This is knowledge. The fear of God is the beginning of knowledge. We got to understand what God's word says. Another thing in the book of Revelation talks about there'll be two witnesses prophesying.
We will see this. There'll be two witnesses prophesying during the sixth trumpet era. It says and their dead Satan is able to overcome them. The Antichrist will be able to overcome them and their dead bodies will lay in the street for three and a half days and the whole world saw them and gave gifts one to another. Well, until this generation right here, the whole world couldn't see anything. But now through all of this technology, a camera on every corner, everywhere you go, AI sees everything. The whole world will see these two prophets prophesying in Israel. If you notice there in a war, anytime Israel's in in a war, everybody sees the wars in Israel. You may not see the war that's going on in Somalia.
You may not see what's going on in Yemen. You may not see what's going on in a lot of places in the United States, but you will see what's happening in Israel. And God told us when you see these things. So, the techn is here today. I'm talking to you on a telephone that's going to that can go worldwide. Uh everybody can see this video. This this is the generation that we're living in. The Bible also says, you know, Jesus tells us, you know, there'll be the abomination of desolation. Well, that is when a world leader stands in a Jewish rebuilt temple claiming to be the Messiah. Well, the Jews had to regain their land. That happened in 1948, May the 14th. In the book of Ezekiel, it says he's going to bring gather gather them from all nations back into their land.
Not for anything that they've done, but for my holy name's sake, so people know that I am God. A lot of people right now has tried to do the replacement theology with the Christians and the Jewish people. And the same thing with the temple. They think that we are the temple of God and there won't be a third temple built. But they're missing what God is saying. We are the temple of God. The spiritual temple lives within us, but the physical temple which sa Satan will stand in claiming to be the Messiah will be a temple built on the temple mount. They're fixing to build this temple right now in our lifetime. The technologies here in our lifetime for every person to receive a mark. The technology is at every store that you go to right now.
When you place your debit card and that little computer chip, it's on the end of your credit card. You tap it on that uh that reader. Well, eventually they want to take all of your information. That's what all of this AI stuff is. Is is they're want to put everything the digital ID. They want to put everything in your hand. And all you do is you just wave your hand on that that digital reader and it will tell you everything that you bought. It it reads your banking account information. It they want to know everything about you. Everything that you buy, everything that you sell, everything that you do will be recorded. Everything that you look at is already being recorded. Everything that you talk about right now is already being recorded on the phone that you're holding in your hand.
You We're getting very close to the time, but we won't last another 50 years here. The time is getting right now to where the World Economic Forum, all of these world elite people are wanting to microchip everybody by 2030. That's four years from now. They're wanting to rebuild the third temple just like the Bible prophesied. All of the Jewish people, they have their the religious leaders right now, the the priests to do the animal sacrifices, the red heer, the utensils for all of the the uh the animal sacrifices and stuff. All of this is happening in our lifetime right now. I know for 2,000 years, people has looked for the return of Jesus Christ, but they did not understand what this word right there told them.
Jesus said, "I'm not coming back until these things happen." Why can't we understand that this it blows my mind? It says, "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together into him." It's the rapture. Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day will not happen until the cometh fallen away first and the man of sin be revealed who exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped. So that he as God sensed the temple of God showing himself that he's God. God in his word said I'm not coming back until this happens. Why can't we understand that? It's not going to be at any moment. Now it will be in a moment and twinkle light at the last trump.
And it will be so forselves know perfectly the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. When they say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon him. Well, that's at the at the abomination of desolation during that last three and a half years, that great tribulation period. Jesus says he's not coming back till then. He says, "You are children of the light. This day will not overtake you as a thief." So, my whole life I've heard that Jesus Christ could come back as a thief at every any moment. We always should be ready. Well, that's not what the Bible says. Now again, each individual person, we need to be ready to meet our Lord and Savior at any moment. I mean, I've got a little sister.
I had a little sister that she I thought she would grow up and and take care of us. We didn't know when she went on a vacation that she would get in a car wreck and be killed instantly. So, we never know when our last breath here is on this earth. We always think that we've got until whenever. But I'm telling y'all, I'm urging y'all. I'm beseeching y'all. I'm telling you, Jesus Christ is coming back soon. But even at that, if you do not have Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior right now, if you die, it'll be eternity spent in hell apart from your your creator. God is longsuffering, not willing that any should perish, but all come to repentance. God had made a way before the foundation of the world that he would give his son as a sacrifice for each one of us that all we got to do is believe in him.
Give our life over to him, accept his free gift of salvation. Now, in the Bible prophecies right here, when I gave my life to Christ, I had no clue what it was going to be, what I was going to do. Um, and God said, "I I want to teach you about the second coming and the rapture." And I had no clue what that meant. I didn't know what it was to be a Christian. And I tell you, you know, the first week I thought this Christianity stuff is really not real. I mean, it sounds like a science fiction movie or a create a madeup story, but I'm telling you, it is real. And and God affirms it with his word right here. He says, "I tell you these things before they happen so that when they happen, you know I'm faithful and true."
Who else can in the world could tell you what's going to happen in the future apart from you knowing the future? God says, "I know the beginning from the end." I know everything. He knows it all. He knows who's going to accept him. He knows who's going to deny him. So, we always need to we we need to give our life to Christ. This war, this nuclear war could literally happen at any moment. If you ch turn on your news, they're hollering World War II, World War II, World War II. And don't don't tell me that we're going to be raptured up before then. We've already had two World Wars and we've already used nuclear weapons one time. It will happen again. The world elite people right now, this is what they're this is their main goal right here.
There's a book written right here, the imperative to return to a human population of 1 billion. Well, guess what? There's 8 billion people or more on this earth right now. How are they going to get back to one billion? I tell you, they're trying to get rid of us through all of these worldwide pandemics. And the solution for all these pandemics, well, the Bible talks about the third part of us is going to die. We don't know which third. That means one out of every three people on the earth is fixing to die. We need to be ready for the return of Christ. The people who make it through that, you know, I don't even know where to I don't even know where to what to say anymore about. I It's just so important.
There's so many things to talk about in this book right here and the prophecies of this book that people just do not understand. Jesus came the first time and he went to the religious leaders and he said these scrolls speak of me and you do not believe. You can discern the you can discern the sky. You can tell the weather but you cannot discern the signs of the times and calls them a wicked generation. And we have three times the amount of prophecy about the second coming of Jesus Christ. And everybody just looks over it like h you know their favorite verse is oh well Bible says nobody knows the day of the hour. Well that is so stupid. Yeah you don't know the exact day or the hour but God goes into detail and tells us the events that will happen prior to his coming.
And he exactly tells us what will happen the day of his coming. It says when Satan is revealed standing in a Jewish rebuilt temple I tell you that night one shall be taken and one shall be left. We are the generation that's seeing Israel right now preparing for the third temple. They're looking for their Messiah because they don't believe that Jesus Christ was the ultimate Messiah. That he came the first time. They don't believe in the New Testament. the a lot of the Jewish people, the um leaders of that, they're wanting to rebuild this third temple and they're wanting to do the animal sacrifices and stuff again because they believe that's what they have to do because that was in the first five books of Moses, which is the Torah.
They think that they've got to go back all the to the rituals, the the ceremonial laws and everything. But God did away with that through his son Jesus Christ. All of that was a picture pointing to Jesus. Jesus fulfilled every bit of that. Now, I'm encouraged. I know we're fixing to see some bad things happen. Jesus himself tells us, you know, you're going to be delivered up. You're you're going to be hated for my name's sake, but be of good cheer. I've overcome the world. Bible says, if they persecute you, remember they persecuted me first. Every one of the letters written to the seven churches in Asia, every one of them has a promise at the end of those who endure to the end shall be saved.
And he has a special gift for every single one of those people. God loves you. God wants you to be on his side. We are living in the time right before the return of Jesus Christ. It's imperative that we give our life to him. It's imperative that we tell our loved ones about him. It's it's so important. God has given us all the information we didn't need to know right here in his word. We need to tell our loved ones that Jesus is coming soon. We need to tell our loved ones what will happen to those who do not have Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior when they perish, when they die. This is eternal. This is an eternal decision that you have to make right now. Choose you today whom you shall serve.
I can't express to you all how important it is to see the signs of the times that we're living in where we're at. God did not leave us in the dark. God gave us the prophecies of this book so that we can truly understand where we're at, what's going on, and um how to navigate through this. And the only way we're going to navigate through any of this is through the Holy Spirit, which God will give you if you accept his free gift of salvation. Look, I love all y'all. I don't want to see anybody perish. God don't want to see anybody perish. He's coming back soon. We need to be ready. I love you guys.
