Caption transcript for “The Second Coming”

00:01 ♪♪♪ David Hart: Thank you so much for joining us today. Our topic today is about
00:17 multiple raptures, things that maybe we don't know a whole lot about, but we're here today to
00:19 hear from you guys.
00:21 Kirsten Hart: Not just one.
00:22 Joshua Colson: Not just one, and just when you thought there was
00:24 nothing else to talk about with raptures, and no, there couldn't
00:27 be another episode, we're gonna talk because there is more to
00:30 say about raptures, multiple.
00:34 Caleb Colson: There's been multiple throughout
00:35 history already.
00:36 People like Enoch and Elijah, they've been taken, Philip and
00:39 the Ethiopian eunuch story.
00:40 My favorite is Ezekiel where he's sitting around with the
00:43 elders in Babylon, his body stays here, but his spirit is
00:46 raptured up and taken to Jerusalem.
00:48 So, the prophets were raptured many times and they are taken
00:50 into heavenly dimensions and seeing the future of what's
00:53 about to occur.
00:55 Well, we wanna discuss the distinction, guys, between a
00:58 rapture that occurs for the bride and a rapture that occurs
01:01 for the saints near the end of the tribulation.
01:03 Because as you know, Yeshua talks about a rapture in Matthew
01:07 24, and people use that scripture to say, oh, look,
01:09 there's no rapture, it's just, you know, that kind of
01:11 rapture-ish thing that happens at the end of the tribulation,
01:14 but there's more to the story than meets the eye.
01:16 Kirsten: That's a good line, I like that.
01:18 David: It's good, we now go to their teaching, stay with us.

01:36 Joshua: Hey, everybody, I'm Joshua.
01:37 Caleb: And I am Caleb.
01:39 Joshua: And we're brothers, but we're not just brothers, we're
01:41 Jewish brothers.
01:42 Caleb: That makes us so much more special.
01:44 Joshua: You're impressed, I know, I could tell.
01:46 Caleb: Well, [speaking Jewish], everyone, [speaking Jewish], it
01:48 is the happy new year for you Jewish people, and it's kind of
01:53 a stressful time, I guess, for our Jewish brethren, those who
01:56 don't believe in Yeshua.
01:57 You have to fast, you have to pray, you have to hope that your
02:00 name is written in that Book of Life for one more year.
02:03 But for us believers in Yeshua, it's a time of celebration.
02:07 It leaves us wondering, Josh, could this be the year that
02:11 Messiah returns for us?
02:12 Joshua: I'm so nervous right now, and they're probably right
02:15 to be nervous.
02:16 If you were wondering is Caleb gonna talk about the
02:19 rapture again?
02:20 Yes, yes, he is, because the more he reads, the more he
02:24 learns and the more he thinks you need to know about what's
02:26 about to happen in the rest of the history of mankind.
02:29 Caleb: There's been a lot of biblical confusion as of late.
02:32 People think that there's not gonna be a rapture, or that, you
02:36 know, we're just gonna have to build that tribulation bomb
02:39 shelter, you know, start stockpiling supplies.
02:42 Joshua: I've been taking so much toilet paper during COVID.
02:45 Caleb: But that's because prophecy can be confusing.
02:47 We wanna clarify things in prophecy, because God meant for
02:50 us to understand prophecy.
02:51 He's not the author of confusion, he says you are the
02:54 children of light, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5, and he
02:58 wants you to be aware of his plans for when he returns.
03:02 Joshua: Let me blow their mind, you always get to blow
03:03 their mind.
03:04 Okay, there is how many raptures you ask?
03:09 Caleb: I thought there was only one rapture.
03:10 Joshua: Only one rapture?
03:12 No, my friend, there's not only more than one rapture, but
03:15 there's raptures that already happened.
03:18 Caleb: So, there's more than one rapture?
03:21 Joshua: There's more than one rapture and several have
03:22 already happened.
03:24 I learned that from reading my brother's notes.
03:27 Caleb: Okay, let's go to Genesis 5:24.
03:29 "Enoch walked with God, and he was not found, for God
03:32 took him."
03:33 Joshua: Bam, rapture.
03:35 Caleb: You got a rapture.
03:36 Joshua: That's rapture number one.
03:37 Caleb: What about 2 Kings 2:11?
03:39 "As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a
03:40 chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the
03:43 two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a
03:45 whirlwind," rapture.
03:48 Those two guys must be pretty important, I'll tell you what.
03:51 Joshua: I mean, I don't know who they might be or where you might
03:54 see them again, but they're pretty cool.
03:57 Caleb: I say with preterism and post millennialism and
04:02 post-tribulation rapture things going on, a lot of people think
04:04 you have to endure the tribulation because of some
04:07 scriptures in the Bible, and rightly so.
04:09 They think every scripture in the Bible about the rapture is
04:11 the same rapture.
04:13 Joshua: Or they've said that you have to endure it so that all
04:15 the kids in Sunday school will behave.
04:17 Caleb: That's right, so there's two coming raptures.
04:20 We wanna first talk about the rapture of the bride of Christ,
04:22 and indeed this is a pre-tribulation rapture, Josh.
04:26 Joshua: That sounds good to me.
04:27 Caleb: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18.
04:29 Joshua: It says, "For the Lord himself will descend from heaven
04:31 with a shout, and the voice of an archangel, and with the
04:35 trumpet of God.
04:36 And the dead in Christ will rise first.
04:38 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught together with
04:41 them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
04:43 And thus, we shall always be with the Lord.
04:45 Therefore comfort one another with these words."
04:47 I feel comforted.
04:49 Caleb: So, important details, guys.
04:50 Yeshua doesn't step foot on the Mount of Olives this time, he
04:53 comes in the clouds just as he promised, we are caught up to be
04:56 with him in the air, and we're gonna marry the Messiah, go to
04:59 this wedding feast, but first, our bodies have to be glorified.
05:02 Joshua: "And behold, I tell you a mystery, we shall not sleep,
05:05 but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an
05:08 eye, at the last trumpet.
05:10 For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised
05:11 incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
05:14 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal
05:18 must put on immortality."
05:19 Caleb: That's pretty awesome.
05:21 That last trumpet reference, Josh, that's a direct reference
05:24 to the feast of trumpets.
05:25 Any Jewish person knows that from the mini trumpet blast that
05:29 occurred over the two day time period, but we wanna focus on
05:33 how people believe that those who are in the tribulation, you
05:38 read in Revelation 13:10, you hear the term "saints," and it
05:41 says the saints that are taken at the end of the tribulation,
05:44 well, saints are Christians, right?
05:46 Joshua: Is that everybody in the stained glass windows in the
05:47 Catholic church?
05:48 They're all taken.
05:50 Caleb: Those are the saints that are taken.
05:51 So, people think, okay, saints, that means Christians are
05:52 enduring the tribulation because they read about saints
05:55 in Revelation.
05:56 Well, Psalm 50 verse five references saints.
05:59 This is before the start of the church of Yeshua.
06:02 Psalm 149:1 references saints, but that's because saints
06:06 literally needs to be set apart.
06:08 These are people that are set apart for God for some
06:10 specific purpose.
06:12 Now, the only way they are justified and make it into
06:15 heaven is by their faith, their act of faith of being beheaded
06:18 in the tribulation, then they go to heaven, but they are brought
06:21 to that witness of believing in Yeshua by the 144,000 in the
06:25 two prophets.
06:27 Joshua: Is this why Jesus was always like, hey, it's probably
06:29 better you believe by faith instead of by, I don't know,
06:31 getting your head cut off?
06:33 Because that's not the most optimal way to believe on him.
06:35 Caleb: That's true, guys, so the tribulation, guys, it concerns
06:38 the Jews, but it's meant for the world.
06:40 It's a time of wrath and judgment that is poured out on
06:43 the earth, and that's why we're not supposed to endure it.
06:47 Let's get to Matthew 24, because this is the rapture that it
06:51 talks about at the end of the tribulation.
06:52 This is the one that throws a lot of confusion into people's
06:54 gears, because you read in Matthew 24, and Yeshua is
06:58 talking about the end times, all these events, you get the birth
07:01 pains that we're living in now, you get the sun turning black,
07:04 moon turning to blood, you get abominations of desolation and
07:06 all that.
07:08 They're like, whoa, this is the tribulation.
07:09 Then he gets to talking about a rapture in verse 31.
07:13 Joshua: So, Matthew 24:30-31 says: Then the sign of the Son
07:17 of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the
07:20 earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the
07:23 clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
07:26 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and
07:29 they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from
07:33 one end of heaven to the other."
07:35 Caleb: Okay, so his elect, these are the saints that we are
07:38 talking about.
07:39 These are those people who choose to believe upon Yeshua
07:41 during the tribulation, the Jews that choose to believe on them.
07:44 You know, there's a lot of Jews that choose to believe upon
07:45 Yeshua in the tribulation.
07:47 They go to a safe place in the wilderness called Basra.
07:50 Joshua: My kids watched that show, actually, for years with
07:52 the green bear dancing around.
07:54 No, that's Boz, but the point is that for Yeshua to fulfill his
07:59 own words in 24:13 of Matthew saying, "He who endures to the
08:03 end shall be saved," there has to be a rapture on the great and
08:05 terrible day of the Lord.
08:07 It says those people who make it to the end, who aren't beheaded,
08:10 who survive, who believe upon him.
08:13 And Zechariah 10:12--
08:17 Zechariah 12:10 says that the earth mourns when they see
08:21 Yeshua in the clouds.
08:22 That's the same wording we just saw in Matthew 24:30-31.
08:26 There's all these key events, because not only does the earth
08:29 mourn when they see him, Yeshua touches down on the Mount of
08:31 Olives, it splits in two, Josh.
08:34 Joshua: So, how can he be coming like a thief in the night if he
08:37 splits the Mount of Olives?
08:38 Isn't that kind of like, hello, I'm here?
08:40 It's not very sneaky.
08:41 Caleb: Well, it's not a surprise at the end of the tribulation,
08:43 because you have two-thirds of the population is wiped out, you
08:46 have all the green grass burned up, you have all of the water
08:48 turned to blood, angels flying through the atmosphere warning,
08:51 "The Lamb is coming, the judgment of the Lamb is coming,
08:54 repent, don't bow to the beast."
08:55 So, when Yeshua finally comes, they know it's him.
08:57 The world knows it's him.
08:59 It's like, ah, not him, and they go to war against him.
09:03 So, that's why the whole earth is mourning and that's why it
09:05 can't be the first rapture when he just comes for us and no one
09:08 sees him, they just hear that trumpet blast.
09:10 Joshua: Can I just build a tribulation bomb shelter and
09:11 just hide and then wait until it's all done?
09:13 Caleb: Well, with things going on how they are right now, it
09:15 doesn't hurt to stockpile.
09:16 But we want you to have confidence and faith that you
09:19 are going to be taken and you are not reserved for that wrath
09:24 as Messiah promises in 1 Thessalonians 1:10.
09:27 Joshua: It says this, "And wait for His Son from heaven, whom He
09:30 raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath
09:34 to come."
09:35 1 Thessalonians 5:9 says, "For God didn't appoint us to
09:37 wrath, but to obtaining of salvation through our Lord
09:40 Jesus Christ."
09:41 Caleb: Yeah, and in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8, we've used
09:44 that scripture before when Paul is saying that the restrainer,
09:47 who is the Holy Spirit living within you, keeps the Antichrist
09:50 from being revealed.
09:52 That he will not come on this earth as long as we are present.
09:55 That's how powerful the Spirit of God is in one believer.
09:58 So, you can stop guessing is the Antichrist George Soros, or
10:01 Obama, or your ex-spouse.
10:03 We aren't gonna know until we are watching from the clouds to
10:07 find out who it is.
10:08 Joshua: And keep in mind, guys, when we talk about prophecy, we
10:10 get it, like, everybody has an opinion, everybody thinks the
10:12 Word says this and this, so instead of taking what we're
10:15 saying in a combative way where you wanna argue it or think it
10:18 means something different, take it in what Yeshua would have
10:21 you, which is to be prepared.
10:23 Instead of trying to figure out is there one, is there two, is
10:25 there seven, let me hold on to the end, get your life right, be
10:28 ready, he's coming back.
10:30 Whether you believe it's before, whether you believe it's after
10:31 or in the middle, it's time to get your heart right and to know
10:33 that whenever that trumpet does blow, whenever he does show up,
10:36 whenever it's your time to go, you're ready, he says, "Well
10:39 done, my good and faithful servant," and you don't have to
10:40 worry about the beheadings or that stinky bunker smell,
10:43 because bunker smell is no good.
10:45 Caleb: It's very mildewy, very musky.
10:47 We love you, guys.
10:49 Please join us next time.
10:54 David: This is one of the programs that I just have
10:56 to say.
10:57 I say, a-ha, I had no idea about multiple raptures.
11:05 A-ha, I get it.
11:07 Kirsten: We don't think about that, we think taken up.
11:09 I don't know in the Old Testament, but it
11:11 is fascinating.
11:13 There have been multiple, and we just focus on one, but there
11:16 are more.
11:18 Joshua: To think about the rapture of an individual, we've
11:19 never probably thought about collectively, but then we
11:22 usually get the two confused between the first coming of
11:25 Yeshua and the second coming, right?
11:28 So, we talk about how Yeshua is gonna come for his bride, right?
11:32 Those of us who believe and accept him as Savior before the
11:34 tribulation, he's going to come and rapture us away, we're gonna
11:37 go, right?
11:39 But then there's the saints, and I learned from my brother all
11:41 the time, words matter.
11:42 Don't say a bride when they're a saint and a saint when they're a
11:44 bride, they're two very different things.
11:45 The saints are those who believe on Yeshua after, after we've
11:49 been taken away as the bride.
11:51 And on the great and terrible day of the Lord, we ride in as
11:54 the bride, right, to fight in Armageddon.
11:58 We're gonna be in slow motion on horses with wind blowing, it's
12:00 gonna be awesome.
12:01 I don't know about the slow motion, but that is the second,
12:04 when they are raptured that second time, the second coming.
12:08 Kirsten: There's gonna be a lot of horses in heaven if
12:10 everyone's riding a horse.
12:11 Joshua: I need a Clydesdale to fight that battle, but it's
12:14 gonna happen.
12:15 Caleb: But what's sad, what's heartbreaking is, though the
12:16 saints are raptured at that moment, the Jewish people
12:19 are not.
12:20 It's very specific that the remnant of the house of Israel
12:22 stays behind because they don't believe upon Yeshua.
12:25 It's not until they look upon him who they have pierced that
12:28 they finally get, oh, this is the guy, look at those holes in
12:30 his hands and feet.
12:31 They finally get it.
12:33 So, they stay behind and they live into the millennial reign.
12:36 They are his subjects in that kingdom.
12:38 But now, guys, we're gonna talk about a new subject still
12:41 located within this theme of the rapture, the three harvests
12:44 of Israel.
12:46 Yeshua taught about it and it's going to continue the story.
12:49 You're gonna wanna watch this.
12:52 Joshua: Hey, everybody, I'm Joshua.
12:53 Caleb: And I'm Caleb.
12:55 Joshua: We're brothers, we're guys, we're Jewish.
12:58 Caleb: I just thought I'd throw that out to you.
12:59 Joshua: In case you were wondering, and/or curious,
13:01 and/or nervous, because, you know, not too long ago we talked
13:03 about the rapture again, it's probably gonna happen
13:05 again today.
13:06 That's right, and as with all things, you know, rapture-ish or
13:10 Jewish-ish, it involves things like harvests and wheat and
13:15 barley and whatnot.
13:16 So, grab your favorite pumpkin spice latte and let's fall into
13:20 harvest time.
13:24 Caleb: That was a dad joke.
13:26 Joshua: I give one dad joke a month.
13:27 I get, it's my quota.
13:29 Caleb: And I had the pleasure of being here to watch it happen.
13:31 Anyways, guys, there is seven feasts of Israel, you know about
13:36 that, and God meant for those seven feasts to foreshadow a
13:38 Messianic timeline.
13:39 Did you know there are three harvests of Israel that
13:42 coincided with those seven feasts?
13:43 Because the seven feast occur, Josh, in spring, summer, and
13:45 fall season, and the three harvests of Israel occurred at
13:49 spring, summer, and fall.
13:51 Joshua: Wait a minute, that's a coincidence, isn't it?
13:53 Caleb: This is not a coincidence.
13:55 Joshua: You mean there's not coincidences in the Bible?
13:58 Caleb: And the reason there are those harvests, harvests were
14:01 always synonymous with the harvest or gathering of souls of
14:06 people for eternity.
14:07 How do we know that's true.
14:09 Joshua: We know that because John 4:35-36 says, "Don't you
14:12 say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?'
14:15 Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields,
14:18 that they are white for harvest already.
14:21 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to return life,
14:25 that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together."
14:30 Caleb: So, how was Yeshua talking about a harvest back
14:33 then before his sacrifice even came to the cross?
14:37 It's because there's always a firstfruits offering to harvest,
14:40 that grain that matured faster than the others.
14:42 And so, Yeshua himself is our firstfruits offering.
14:45 He was resurrected on the feast of firstfruits, we have
14:48 scripture to back that up.
14:49 Joshua: We do, because there's scripture to back all of it.
14:52 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 says, "But now Christ has been raised
14:55 from the dead.
14:56 He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
14:59 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also
15:02 came by man.
15:04 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ, all will be
15:07 made alive.
15:09 But each in his own order, Christ the first fruits, then
15:12 those who are Christ's, at his coming."
15:14 Caleb: That's right, because the order of a resurrection of
15:18 souls, of bodies, was always important as 1 Thessalonians
15:23 4:16 states.
15:24 There's a lineup in the rapture, those who are dead who have been
15:26 waiting patiently, those people who've believed in Messiah,
15:29 they're gonna get their bodies glorified first, and we in 1
15:34 Corinthians 15:51-54, who are alive and see Yeshua in the
15:38 clouds, then we receive our glorified bodies, but that leads
15:41 us to the first harvest of the year, Josh.
15:43 In Israel's agrarian society during the Passover time, that
15:46 first harvest was a barley harvest.
15:48 Joshua: I was about to say, it was a complex carbohydrate, it
15:51 doesn't spike your insulin, it's just good for you, like, good
15:53 old barley harvest.
15:55 Caleb: Well, they would gather that barley up and they would
15:57 take a winnowing fork and they would cast into the air, you
16:00 know, the pointy pitchfork.
16:02 Winnowing, winnowing.
16:03 Joshua: A female minnow, like, a little girl fish?
16:05 Caleb: A winnowing fork, you know, the pitchfork, spikey
16:08 three-end pitchfork.
16:09 Joshua: Why didn't you just say pitchfork?
16:11 You gotta get all fancy with your terms.
16:12 Caleb: I wanna say winnowing, because that's what they say in
16:14 the Bible.
16:15 It sounds cool.
16:16 Joshua: I like Bible words.
16:18 Caleb: And separation of wheat and chaff from the barley, so
16:19 that is the first rapture.
16:21 The rapture of the bride of Messiah separated we the grain
16:25 from the chaff, and everything, the refuse that's left on earth.
16:28 But the second feast we're gonna get to is the wheat harvest.
16:31 Joshua: And there's no chaff refuse in that?
16:33 Caleb: Well, there is segregation in that harvest
16:36 as well.
16:37 The wheat harvest, guys, this happened during the summer,
16:40 during the time of Shavuot.
16:41 Though Shavuot the feast was fulfilled with the Holy Spirit
16:44 that was poured out on the believers, during the
16:48 tribulation, there's gonna be a threshing of wheat.
16:52 People are gonna get the opportunity to become one of the
16:54 wheat kernels or to become that chaff.
16:56 Well, that leads us to what is the wheat harvest and how was it
16:59 threshed, Josh?
17:01 There was the stalks of grain that were gathered, they were
17:03 placed on a threshing floor, and you'd have what was called a
17:07 tribulum, a sled, a wooden sled that would put weights on that
17:12 sled and the donkey would pull and it would crush that wheat
17:15 and separate it from the stalks and the chaff.
17:18 Joshua: I gotta be honest with you, I'm picturing this right
17:20 now and it sounds kind of like an anti Santa Claus.
17:23 You've got a fat man in a sled crushing wheat.
17:27 Tribulum, is that anything to do with tribulation?
17:30 I mean, it sounds like tribulum, tribulation, is that it?
17:33 Caleb: It absolutely does, that's where we get the term
17:35 "tribulation" from.
17:37 We read, guys, in 1 Chronicles 21:20 there's King David and
17:41 Araunah the Jebusite at the threshing floor, and we get to
17:44 hear how this tribulum sled works, and he purchases a
17:47 threshing floor, and he offers a sacrifice to God.
17:50 That threshing floor becomes the foundation of King Solomon's
17:53 temple, but yes, that intense pressure as Josh said, is where
17:56 we get the term "tribulation" from, the pressure, the stress.
18:00 Those saints that are surviving the tribulation endure the
18:03 stress of the beast's torment, hunting them down, trying to
18:07 murder them, trying to behead them, or they can accept
18:10 reprieve and get the mark of the beast and bow to his image.
18:13 Then they become the chaff, they become the refuse of
18:16 that stalks.
18:17 Joshua: And you thought taxes were stressful.
18:19 This is far more stressful.
18:20 Caleb: It's very important, those saints are described in
18:22 Revelation 14:12-13.
18:25 Joshua: "Here is the perseverance of the saints,
18:26 those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
18:30 I heard a voice from heaven saying, 'Write, 'Blessed are the
18:34 dead who die in the Lord from now on.'
18:35 'Yes,' says the Spirit, 'They may rest from their labors for
18:40 their works follow with them.'"
18:41 Caleb: So, those are the tribulum wheat kernels that
18:45 survive under that intense pressure.
18:47 It was the same thing, guys, during the time of the law.
18:49 That weight of the law was heavy.
18:51 They endured that stress.
18:52 Are we gonna mess up, do we have to offer sacrifices, are they
18:56 gonna make it?
18:57 And it's funny, even John the Baptist uses that end of days,
19:02 second harvest, which yes, occurs at the end of a rapture
19:05 on the great day of judgment, on the battle of Armageddon, to
19:08 describe that harvest of wheat.
19:10 Joshua: In Matthew 3:11-12 it says, "I baptize you with water
19:12 for repentance.
19:14 But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose
19:16 sandals I am not worthy to carry.
19:18 He will baptize you with The Holy spirit and fire.
19:21 His winnowing fork," it is in there, "His winnowing fork is in
19:24 his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his
19:28 wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with
19:31 unquenchable fire."
19:33 Caleb: So, we got two harvests, two raptures that were
19:36 mentioned, then what's the third harvest, guys?
19:38 The third harvest occurred in the fall time.
19:40 That was the harvest of grapes that occurred during the time of
19:43 Yom Kippur.
19:44 And this was always synonymous with that great and terrible day
19:48 of the Lord, which is Yom Kippur, which is the judgment,
19:50 which is all those things put together.
19:52 Joshua: That's for God's people, right?
19:53 Caleb: No, this third harvest is not for God's people, it's
19:56 actually for the world.
19:57 The harvest of souls of the world of nonbelievers.
20:00 Joshua: This is spoken about in Revelation 14:14-20.
20:04 "I looked and I saw a white cloud, and on the cloud one
20:07 sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden
20:10 crown, and in his hand, a sharp sickle.
20:12 Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice
20:14 to him who sat in the cloud, Send your sickle and reap, for
20:18 the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth
20:20 is ripe!'
20:22 He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the
20:25 earth was reaped.
20:26 Another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven.
20:28 He also had a sharp sickle.
20:29 Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over
20:33 fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp
20:36 sickle, saying, 'Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters
20:40 of the vine of the earth, for the earth's grapes are
20:42 fully ripe!'
20:43 The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the
20:46 vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great wine press of
20:49 the wrath of God.
20:50 The wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood came
20:53 out of the wine press, even to the bridles of the horses, as
20:57 far as one thousand six hundred stadia."
21:01 Caleb: What does all that mean, guys?
21:02 Joshua: I have never seen that much stadia of blood in my life.
21:06 Caleb: It's a lot of stadia.
21:08 Joshua: What is a stadia?
21:09 Caleb: What it's talking about is that harvest of souls is the
21:12 wrath of Yeshua.
21:14 He comes down and he slices and dices, guys.
21:16 Everybody in the battle of Armageddon, they are wiped out.
21:20 Yes, their physical bodies are wiped out and the souls of those
21:23 who are gathered in the last two harvests are taken to the
21:26 judgment of the sheep and goats in the valley of decision, in
21:29 the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
21:31 And there the sheep and goats are separated.
21:33 Sheep go to heaven, goats go to hellfire.
21:36 It's a harsh judgment, and God has to judge because he is good,
21:40 because he is just, because of those souls that are beheaded
21:43 during the tribulation.
21:45 They cry out for judgment, "Avenge our murderers," and God
21:48 says just hold on, I'll have my time of judgment, and that's
21:51 what these harvests are all about, guys.
21:53 And it's sad to say that the Jews, the whole house vigil that
21:57 says when they look upon him whom they pierced, that's
22:01 because they don't believe upon Yeshua.
22:03 They actually don't make it in all of these harvests.
22:05 It's not until the very last second when Yeshua steps on the
22:08 Mount of Olives, it splits in two, he provides a safe way for
22:10 them to escape out of Jerusalem.
22:13 That river of God flows out, he's probably walking on that
22:15 water as they see him in there swimming in that water, and they
22:18 see the whole thing and say, oh, it is Jesus, it is Yeshua.
22:23 And so, we don't wanna be part of that, those last
22:26 two judgments.
22:27 I wanna be part of that barley harvest.
22:29 That's the coolest harvest of them all.
22:30 We escape all that wrath and terrible things in the tribulum.
22:32 Joshua: See, guys, God is good enough to give you
22:35 the information.
22:36 Yes, he put it in a way that was hard for the wicked to
22:39 understand, but then he gave it so that we could understand it
22:42 and he gave us these details.
22:43 And it may seem confusing to you, and again, I said this last
22:46 time we talked about the rapture, instead of trying to
22:48 just focus on is this right, is this, you know, how many stadia
22:53 of blood will there be?
22:54 You can't question that, that's actually in the Word, but my
22:56 point is, being the first group, being the first harvest, why
23:00 would you wanna go through all that other stuff?
23:02 People will be, the Word says it, but what we are here today
23:06 to do is to try to show you the truth so that you will be
23:09 compelled to be in that first group that doesn't have to
23:12 endure the beheadings and doesn't have to endure the
23:14 tribulations and doesn't have to literally wait until you see
23:17 Yeshua's holes in his hands and mountains splitting and water
23:19 walking to actually go, oh, yeah, yeah, that's the guy,
23:22 that's the guy.
23:23 So, we want you guys, Yeshua wants you, he wants you in that
23:26 first group.
23:27 He wants you to go with him and he wants you to be cheering on
23:29 everybody else.
23:31 And so, that's what we encourage you today, put down the doubt,
23:33 fear, and unbelief, and just believe.
23:35 Caleb: And we love you guys, thanks for joining us today.
23:37 Please see us next time, stay tuned.
23:41 Joshua: A stadia, is that like a stadium, like a football stadium
23:43 in Europe, like 1,600--
23:45 Caleb: Dude, that's like the whole Valley of Armageddon.
23:48 Joshua: I've seen it, I've been there.
23:49 Caleb: That's a lot of blood.
23:50 That's like you're swimming in blood, swimming.
23:53 The horses, they're okay, it's up to your neck in blood.
23:56 Joshua: That's a lot of blood.
23:58 These aren't Shetlands either, these are the big ones.
24:00 Caleb: The big beer horses.
24:01 Joshua: Dang it, not beer horse height, so bad.
24:08 Kirsten: I think sometimes we look at the parables and think
24:11 they're nice stories, but Yeshua, Jesus, wanted to give us
24:16 a heads up.
24:18 I appreciate that.
24:19 He's like, hey, this sounds like a story, but this is something
24:23 that's for real.
24:24 Caleb: And Yeshua said that people have hard hearts, so he
24:26 had to tell them in stories to get through that back door that
24:29 would be in their head, they would see that symbolism and
24:32 hopefully be set free.
24:33 He didn't want them to be unprepared.
24:35 He wanted them to choose their harvest, barley good, wheat, not
24:40 so good, grape bad.
24:42 And so, it's really our choice, what part we wanna play in
24:46 Yeshua's kingdom and what we're going to suffer.
24:49 It's always been about our choice.
24:51 He gave us that free will and we need to choose what's right.
24:53 Kirsten: And I don't mean to jump in, I just appreciate that
24:58 he spoke in a way, to his people right there, in a way that they
25:00 could understand.
25:02 I mean, we need that, too.
25:03 Joshua: But he did that because he's good, and we often get
25:05 caught up with the Bible and we think this is so hard to
25:07 understand, there's no point in trying, but the Father has given
25:11 us so many opportunities to understand.
25:12 He made the Bible so the child could understand it.
25:14 He made it so no super genius could claim that he understands
25:17 it all.
25:18 But the whole point of having his Word was to lead all people
25:21 to him.
25:22 If you're a good dad, you want your children to spend eternity
25:25 with you.
25:26 You don't want any of them eternally separated.
25:28 And Yeshua wants you to spend eternity with him.
25:31 Whatever you've been hurt with, whatever you haven't understood,
25:34 whatever you thought of church or anything else in the past, or
25:37 maybe you're a Jewish person and you've never believed that
25:39 Yeshua was the Messiah.
25:41 He is your Messiah, and today is the day to open up your heart
25:44 and to choose him.
25:45 And when that veil is removed, it's all gonna become clear and
25:48 you'll spend an eternity with him.
