  1. Today, I've got a good one for you today. It

  2. delves and goes into the separation of preterism and Judaist eschatology.

  3. So the big question is, when is today the Lord?

  4. The preterists believe because they reject the millennial reign of Christ.

  5. They say the battle of Armageddon already happened. They say

  6. the battle of Armageddon was when. You know. In times past.

  7. Because of this. Because they reject the rule. And the reign.

  8. And the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. They skip

  9. to the end. They skip to after the end. Of

  10. the millennial reign of Christ. And say that the great

  11. day of the Lord. Is the battle of Armageddon. Or

  12. the battle of Gog and Magog. So. This is pretty

  13. important that you realize why they do this. How does

  14. this set this up? So the first three verses of

  15. Revelation chapter 20 is where they're coming from. Then I

    Revelation 20 chapter mention

  16. saw an angel coming down from heaven having a key

  17. to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

  18. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old,

  19. who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for

  20. a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit

  21. and shut him up, and set a seal on him

  22. so that he should deceive the nations no more till

  23. the thousand years were finished. But after these things he

  24. must be released for a little while. The KJV here

  25. says a little season. This is where the preterists get

  26. this thing from. See, they reject the return of Christ.

  27. They say there is no return of Christ. They say

  28. Jesus Christ is not going to come rule and reign

  29. for a thousand years. In an act of blasphemy, they

  30. actually say they're the ones ruling right now. That's literally

  31. what they say. So if you're going to any church

  32. who teaches preterism, that's what they say. That's what they teach.

  33. They teach they are ruling and reigning instead of Christ.

  34. And it's not a thousand years. It's happening right now.

  35. This is very beneficial for those who don't believe such

  36. things because there's no way you can read the Bible

  37. and come to this conclusion. So take note that this

  38. is why they take up the Judaist eschatology. It is

  39. the Judaist belief because they've never heard of Armageddon, right?

  40. To them Armageddon is never going to happen. There's only

  41. one battle they're looking for. For the return of God.

  42. That's Gog and Magog. So. There is no great tribulation.

  43. There is no millennial reign of Christ. So the preterists.

  44. Actually have. Judaist eschatology. And oh. You can force them

  45. to admit that. But they will not admit it willingly.

  46. But that is the truth. So. take note that if

  47. you're a biblicist and you've been reading the bible and

  48. what the bible says contradicts what your church is teaching

  49. you should get out of it because you need to

  50. know that this system that you're caught up in and

  51. it is a system This system will not allow for

  52. the word of God. They just don't. They don't permit

  53. the word to say what it means. So in order

  54. to twist it and turn it into something else, they

  55. come up with theological myths. These theological myths, the Bible

  56. calls them cunningly devised fables. So they take part of

  57. the truth, these verses that I just read, First off,

  58. they say it's a lie in the first way. They

  59. say that it's not a literal thousand years. Satan's been

  60. in the bottomless pit now for 2,000 years. Of course,

  61. there's multiple problems with this right on the outset. So

  62. take note. When did Satan go into the bottomless pit?

  63. When did he go into Tataros? So he went into Tartarus. What?

  64. When Jesus rose from the dead? Or at 70 AD?

  65. When was that? So right from the beginning, you have

  66. massive trouble with that because, of course, Satan has obviously

  67. been euthanizing parents, aborting babies, you know, murdering children, raping children.

  68. This has all been going on I mean it is

  69. through this mechanism the abuse of children which Satan is

  70. able to direct all of your politicians I mean this

  71. is literally common knowledge at this point it's literally common

  72. knowledge so with that in mind you have to realize

  73. that if you're reading the Bible and what's coming out

  74. of your pulpit contradicts it You're somewhere you shouldn't be

  75. because there's coming a time during the birth pangs when

  76. those of us that have been born again, those of

  77. us who have been baptized in the Holy Spirit, they

  78. won't tolerate it if they think that you hold to

  79. the word. This is the single reason why they will

  80. martyr you. It's the single reason. It's the single reason why.

  81. The word says this specifically in revelation chapter 6 verse

    Revelation 6:9

  82. 9 you see what's coming in the great apostasy is

  83. not like what happened during the reformation those were the

  84. wars of religions where the catholics were killing the protestants

  85. and vice versa those that's what the wars of religion

  86. that's what the reformation caused was wars of religion that's

  87. not what's coming during If you've been born again, your

  88. fellow congregants will make a martyr out of you. Now

  89. that's what the word says. But you need to understand

  90. that the word comes right out and tells you what

  91. it is that they do to the word. It comes

  92. right out and tells you. Revelation chapter 22, verses 18

    Revelation 22:18

  93. and 19. So first and foremost, what did they do?

  94. For I testify to everyone who hears the words of

  95. this prophecy of this book, if you ever want to

  96. Adds to these things. He will add to him the plagues.

  97. Which are written in this book. What are things they

  98. add to the word. The pre-tribulation rapture. That's not there.

  99. It's not a rapture. The Greek calls it. The changing.

  100. We're changed. Due to the resurrection. What's other ones. Eternal security.

  101. Penal substitution. They're nowhere in the zip code of the word. Preterism.

  102. It's nowhere in the word. Those things, they have added

  103. to the word. Okay? So what else do they do?

  104. Verse 19. And if anyone takes away from the words

  105. of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away

  106. his part from the book of life, from the holy city,

  107. from the things which are written in this book. So

  108. take note. This really drives it home. He's not talking

  109. about Muslims. He's not talking about Buddhists. He's not talking

  110. about atheists. He's talking about your fellow congregants. That's what

  111. he's talking about. He's talking about your fellow congregants. It

  112. is important that you know and understand these things before

  113. they come about. What are some of the things that

  114. they add to the word. Let's talk about preterism. They

  115. have to add that the current clergy is ruling and

  116. reigning for Jesus Christ. No, that's not in the word

  117. they've added. So, with this in mind, I encourage you

  118. to get into the word. Write these down. Revelation 6,

    Revelation 6:9

  119. verse 9. Revelation chapter 22, verse 18 and 19. These

    Revelation 22:18

  120. things you need to know. And it's the only reason why.

  121. They're going to make a martyr out of you. If

  122. you've been born again. Please read John chapter 5. You

    John 5 chapter mention

  123. must be born again. You must return from your sins.

  124. Once you've been water baptized. If not. You're going to

  125. insult the spirit. Please read. Hebrews chapter 10. Verses 26

    Hebrews 10 chapter mention

  126. to 29. You cannot. Enter into God's church and continue

  127. to willfully
