The TRUTH about the RAPTURE and the Tribulation

In this video, Pastor Brian provides an overview of the various Premillennial End Times views. This quick survey of Christian Eschatology includes both Premillennialism & Dispensationalism. He also surveys the various ways a Pretribulation Rapture could occur and the different perspectives that are held by modern Christians.

In this video, Pastor Brian builds off the previous 2 videos providing a brief overview of the Postmillennial End Times view and a much more thorough analysis of the Amillennial view. This study of Christian Eschatology sets up the stage to show the flaws in Premillennialism, Dispensationalism and Postmillennialism, favoring Amillennialism as both the most biblical and the most consistent. Properly understanding these different views forms the foundation for the rest of the videos in the series to make sense. The next 3 videos consist of walking verse-by-verse through multiple passages of Scripture and comparing which End Times view fits better with the text.

In this video, Pastor Brian continues on his study of Christian Eschatology (End Times). Having already set up the foundation for why Christians should have series doubts in Dispensational Premillennialism in the first 3 videos he continues a verse-by-verse analysis of Matthew 24 and a few parts of Luke 21 to see what Jesus had to say about the End Times. With a clear comparison of Dispensational Premillennialism and Amillennialism at the forefront of our minds, we will examine what Jesus said and see which view is more biblical and which view fits better.

In this video, Pastor Brian continues on his study of Christian Eschatology (End Times). Having already set up the foundation for why Christians should have series doubts in Dispensational Premillennialism in the first 4 videos he continues a verse-by-verse analysis of large sections of 1 & 2 Thessalonians to see what Paul had to say about the End Times. With a clear comparison of Dispensational Premillennialism and Amillennialism at the forefront of our minds, we will examine what Paul said and see which view is more biblical and which view fits better.

In this video, Pastor Brian continues on his study of Christian Eschatology (End Times). Having already set up the foundation for why Christians should have series doubts in Dispensational Premillennialism in the first 5 videos he continues a verse-by-verse analysis of some of Jesus’s parables and select portions of Revelation to see what they had to say about the Harvest in the End Times. With a clear comparison of Dispensational Premillennialism and Amillennialism at the forefront of our minds, we will examine what Jesus, John, and others said and see which view is more biblical and which view fits better.

In this video, Pastor Brian continues on his study of Christian Eschatology (End Times). Having already set up the foundation for why Christians should have series doubts in Dispensational Premillennialism, and have greater trust in the Amillennial view in the first 6 videos we will consider the practical implications of these perspectives. What are the consequences of holding a Premillennial view? What about an Amillennial view?

• The Full HD Image Slideshow as seen in our videos

• Printable, Brandable Study Guide to follow along with

• Printable Version of our Final Exam & Discussion Questionnaire

We designed this course for personal education and growth but also for use in Home Churches, Bible Studies, or Small Groups. (We’re even okay if you want to use this at a large traditional church!) After you finish the course and pass the quiz, should you decide to, you’re free to share this content with others in any local setting where you are physically present. (You're not allowed to sell it or to post or distribute it online, etc) 

Our materials have been created to do this very easily. You can download our slideshow and teach from it yourself, this helps you practice being a teacher. Or, if you’re the shy type and have zero desire to teach, you could just use our videos. They are all high definition and will look good streaming to a TV.

Additionally, we’ve also created a printable version of our final quiz and our discussion questions too. So if you did have a group everyone could get the full benefits of the program and have their copy of the study guide, quiz, and questionnaire.

You could start your own home church or study group, etc. and go all out big with it! Or it might be as small as just inviting a friend over to watch with you. There’s no extra charges for doing this, no matter how small or big you decide to go, and you have our full blessing, we just want more Christians to become educated and motivated. :)

Since we've evaluated the veracity of the premillennial rapture, and found that it is lacking, it is also good that we evaluate the doctrine of the literal earthly millennium. These two work hand-in-hand so without strong support for an earthly millennium there is even less support for a tribulation.

During this course we will see that not only do the very best verses used to support the earthly millennium fall short of arguing its case, they actually help favor the doctrine that the prophesied, promised reign is actually the New Earth and New Jerusalem. Most haven't even given this perspective consideration and evaluated it carefully, but we will.

This helps put many things into a clearer perspective including the building of the third Jewish temple prior to the arrival of the Antichrist, the permanent defeat of all evil when Christ returns, and the eternality of the arrival coming Kingdom. It also gives us a much better hope to look forward to instead of a thousand years of hybrid-paradise.

In this video we show the foundation of the argument typically used to argue for a literal, earthly millennium by providing a sample of another ministry’s defense. We then provide and walk you through a side-by-side comparison of the two millennium positions and show the foundation for why a literal, earthly millennium presents serious theological problems with the Christian faith. We lay the foundation for why we hold the amillennial position. The remainder of the videos contrast and evaluate these two views.

In this video we systematically evaluate the covenant promises made to King David to compare which view is more biblical.

In this video we systematically evaluate the descriptions prophesied about of the coming Kingdom and its priesthood given to the prophet Jeremiah. We contrast these descriptions with what we learn about Jesus established in the New Covenant in Hebrews 7 and 1 Peter to determine which view is more biblical.

In this video we systematically evaluate the descriptions prophesied in Daniel and Isaiah about the dramatic earth changes that are going to come when God’s promises are fulfilled. We contrast these descriptions with what we learn about in the third and/or fourth temple periods to determine which view is more biblical.

In this video we do a survey of Ezekiel’s many incredible prophetic visions about the End Times when God’s promises are to be fulfilled. We contrast these descriptions with our two views to determine which view is more biblical.

In this video we zone in on those specific arguments that premillennialists use to defend their position and systematically evaluate the incredible series of visions and descriptions prophesied in Ezekiel about the End Times when God’s promises are fulfilled. We contrast these descriptions with our two views to determine which view is more biblical.

In this video we systematically evaluate the descriptions given to the prophet Amos and continue to contrast these descriptions with our two views to determine which view is more biblical. We then wrap up and provide a summary of the entire presentation and the different aspects of these periods. We conclude with an (arguably) definitive case for why the amillennial position is more biblical.

With a solid biblical foundation for this we can conclude that it all the more supports the position that there is not going to be a pretribulational rapture.

With this in mind, it now becomes evident that all born-again Christians are CURRENTLY NOW reigning as priests with Christ and, right now, have Kingdom authority and power. Now begins the exciting journey of  discovering how exactly to live that out!
