(1 of 7) Bible Prophecy - A study of the last days

Join us as we build a foundation for a journey through Bible prophecy. See how the Bible shows we are living in the last days with the rapture of the church right around the corner, and the start of the 7 year tribulation period. Also see that Christians will be taken up at the beginning of the tribulation (pretrib, not midtrib or posttrib).

You know, I grow so weary of scoffers... but they too are a fulfillment of Bible prophecy. 2 Peter 3:3 It's almost like Christians don't WANT Jesus to return! Yet Paul tells us to encourage one another with this thought! I Thes. 5:18 With all the prophecy fulfillment taking place around us today... the uprooting prophesied by Daniel, the blooming of the fig tree, the significance of the Jewish feasts and the timing of so many events... people have to be willingly ignorant not to see it.

Just remember that tens of millions of people died from disease, war, and natural disasters over the course of 5 years in the 1910s. That's definitely a better case for convergence than anything in the last 50 years.

Also, I'd encourage you to reread Matthew 24, maybe with a good word-study Bible so you can see the Greek that was used. Jesus didn't use intensity or frequency anywhere there. Again, I do appreciate the videos, though.

@jasonzirkle Jesus does not use the words "intensity" and "frequency" in Matthew 24 but what He does say is in the last days the world will be like a woman in labor. And as the time of her delivery approaches, her contractions become more intense and frequent until the baby is born. Paul also uses the expression "woman in labor" to describe the world in the last days. I Thes. 5. And what about Luke 21:11?

[jasonzirkle]

Just be careful when you say "Jesus said when you see all these things happen with INTENSITY and FREQUENCY," and then you go back and say he didn't actually say those words. We often throw out our interpretations of the words of Christ, and claim that they are actually the words of Christ, which is wrong.

As for me, I love studying eschatology & prophecy... But when we "cross that line" and say that we're the chosen generation to see the second coming when we're only speculating, we're wrong.

[leslieholder5]

@jasonzirkle So Jason, please answer Ashley's question. Certainly if you have studied Bible prophecy at all, you know what the fig tree represents...

And come on! Just because Jesus didn't say "with increased frequency and intensity" doesn't mean that that wasn't what He meant when He said as a "woman in labor." Ask any woman who has had a child if "with increased frequency and intensity" would describe the time immediately preceding the birth of her child!

[leslieholder5]

@jasonzirkle And Jesus said that our world would be like a woman in labor... with an increase in natural disasters, wars and rumors of wars, pestilence, famine... did you even watch any of the videos??

You will also not find the words "one-world government" and "one-world religion" in scripture, but we can certainly determine both will exist during the tribulation period under the rule of the antichrist and false prophet.l Read your Bible man!

Jesus' kingdom is not of this world, He fulfilled the old covenant and began the New Covenant when God sent back the gift of the Holy Ghost in His name.

Then the temple was torn down and the Jews were scattered. Now we are the temples of the Living God.

Thanks for the explication about Israel at the end of video #1.

Speaking for me. I am so excited and each day I look for the Lord. I enjoyed this information. Thank you Leslie Holder for placing this on YouTube. Your eloquence helps me to understand. I am sharing this with my Family/Friends. Hopefully before it is too late.

[jasonzirkle]

I apologize if I came across as rude or offensive in any of my comments, by the way. I just disagree strongly with the information here. I'm going to quit posting comments, but would be happy to sit down with anyone and have a discussion about this in person.

@ashleymarie528

Ashley, I'm not really sure exactly what you're asking, but using your arguments here, I'll go back to my original thesis. You guys talked about the Holocaust, but then don't address it again. If anything, don't you think that the Holocaust and World War II are a much better fit for this "increased intensity and frequency" of wars, Jewish strife, etc? How can you not see that all of these were much more "frequent" and "intense" in the early to mid 20th century than now?

@getfrog

I know, I've watched them. I just chose to post on this one.
