There are “signs of the times” all around, yet we don’t talk about prophecy enough. In this message, Pastor Greg Laurie and Bible prophecy expert, Joel Rosenberg, give some needed insight. Notes: Focuse verses - John 14, Matthew 24 All around us are signs of the times telling us Jesus is coming. Read John 14: 1–3 Jesus has prepared a place for us, and He is coming for us. Jesus said, “When you see these things begin to happen, look up!” Luke 21: 28 The teaching of the Rapture was given almost 2, 000 years ago by Jesus on the Mount of Olives. The disciples asked Jesus, “What will be the sign of your coming? ” Matthew 24: 3 The signs of the times mentioned in Matthew 24 are to alert us to His coming. Read Matthew 24: 3–15 Jesus wants us to understand this and other passages about prophecy. It’s not God’s desire to conceal, but to reveal. #1 The Tribulation period begins with the emergence of Antichrist. Matthew 24: 5 Christians will not be present for the Great Tribulation. The Church is the restraining force in the world today. #2 The Tribulation period ends with the return of Jesus Christ to the earth. Matthew 24: 30 The emergence of Antichrist is close, but the coming of Christ for His Church is even closer. Read Matthew 24: 36–44 Jesus is talking about the Rapture, not the Second Coming. There are differences between the Rapture and the Second Coming. At the Rapture, Jesus comes for His people. At the Second Coming, He returns with His people. The Rapture is before the Tribulation. The Second Coming is at the end of it. #3 What is the Rapture? Rapture is the English translation of Harpazo which was translated as Raptus in the Latin translation. It means to take forcibly, to snatch, or to be caught up. #4 Why is there a Rapture? 1 Thessalonians 4: 13 Christians do not' grieve hopelessly but hopefully. Jesus said, “And behold, I am coming quickly, ” Revelation 22: 12 (NKJV) When Jesus comes again, it will be fast and without warning. The return of Jesus is imminent. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest. org. This podcast is supported by the generosity of our Harvest Partners.

Once upon a time, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was a beloved fairy tale about kindness, virtue, and beauty. Now? Well, it seems Snow White has gone on a journey—not through the forest—but straight into the wilderness of wokeness. Has Disney completely lost the plot? Can they find their way back to the vision of Walt Disney himself—a man who once said, "In these days of world tensions, when the faith of men is being tested as never before, I am personally thankful that my parents taught me at a very early age to have a strong personal belief and reliance in the power of prayer for Divine inspiration. " Imagine that. The man who built the magic kingdom, relying on divine inspiration. Here's Pastor Greg Laurie's full review. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest. org.
