Welcome to Episode #185 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is our first of eight episodes in our Twenty-Fourth mini-series entitled The Return of Jesus Christ [3]. On today's episode, I will introduce the Great Snatching Away of the Church, the Harpazo [Greek], or Rapio [Latin]; aka the Rapture. A snatching away before tribulation, the great tribulation and wrath, and the Day of the Lord.The first mini-series of this trilogy primarily addressed Jesus' return to judge the world and establish his millennial kingdom. The second mini-series primarily addressed the role of Israel in the world today prophetically, in specific regard to the return of Jesus to end the trampling of Jerusalem by the Gentiles. This third and final mini-series addresses primarily the first of two phases of the Return of Jesus Christ.The first phase will be an aerial return of Jesus to snatch away his bride, the church, from before the coming judgment of God, which involves global tribulations and wrath. The second phase of Jesus' return will be physical on the Day of the Lord when he vanquishes his enemies with just a word from his mouth. We are going to focus on the first of these two phases: the aerial return for the taking away of the Bride of Christ.A snatching away is not unfamiliar in the scriptures. It was recorded twice in the Old Testament (Enoch and Elijah), and five times in the New (Jesus, Philip, Paul, the body of Christ, and John). This is perhaps the most exciting yet most misunderstood or most forgotten teaching in the Bible. And when you think of who is blinding the minds of unbelievers, it is not a mystery why this critical message of the Bible is ignored in the church even today.We have to understand with our heart and soul that heaven is a real place. A supernatural place beyond dimensionality where God dwells. We and all of creation of the cosmos with us, experience existence in a four-dimensional space-time reality. Where we observe, you live, you die, and that's it. We live in a world where entropy rules; where everything is subject to corruption and decay.Yet, recent scientific discoveries and theoretical calculations suggest that what we are experiencing is actually a projection from another dimension beyond the four we exist in. What the Bible is teaching is God has made a way from the beginning to get us from our captivity within these four-dimensional walls to the heaven of heavens, beyond dimensionality, where God himself resides. That's what we're going to talk about on this mini-series.The key-word for this concept in the Greek New Testament is Harpazo. In the Latin translation this Greek key word is translated Rapio from which we get the common term Rapture. This word is used many times in the New Testament. The two main uses are found in 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 15, both of which we'll introduce on our next episode. Today, we're going to focus on some of the background for this coming event.The word harpazo in Greek is defined as: to seize, carry off by force, to snatch out or away. What we are going to be discussing during this mini-series is Jesus coming back aerially in the sky to snatch out of this world his bride, the church, before the wrath of God is unleashed on the earth in tribulations which eventually culminate in the great tribulation and the Day of the LordAs I've described in the past, the position I am presenting is commonly called the premillennial pretribulation return of Jesus Christ. It is the oldest view in the church. I encourage you to do your own research on this topic as we'll discover, knowing his return could be imminent makes a huge difference in how we view our lives today. And with that big word dropped, let's get started.
This week lead pastor Dr. Corey Abney emphasizes the preeminence and supremacy of Jesus Christ, based on Colossians 1:15-20. The core message is that Jesus is not merely one important figure among many, but the Creator, Sustainer, and Head of the Church, deserving of exclusive worship and the first place in every aspect of a believer's life. A participation-trophy approach to Christianity is inadequate; Jesus must be preeminent.Key ScriptureColossians 1:15-20Topics CoveredThe Preeminence of JesusJesus as the Image of GodJesus as the Firstborn over all CreationJesus as the Head of the ChurchThe Church's Mission#bellshoalschurch #churchservice #jesusfirst

As a teenager, Jeff Batzer was very focused on finding his value in his athletic abilities—in particular, climbing. By the time he graduated from high school, Jeff had teamed up with world class climbers and was tackling difficult peaks. But, in January of 1982, everything changed when a climb on New Hampshire's Mount Washington went very wrong. Today, Jeff is sharing how God used that experience on Mount Washington to both reignite his faith and call him to a ministry of caring for those who are suffering.

It's Tuesday, February 20th, AD 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson 166 Iranian Christians arrested A joint report issued by Christian Solidarity Worldwide, Open Doors, and Middle East Concern on persecution in Iran documented 166 arrests in 2023. That's up from 134 in 2022. At least one-third of the arrests have to do with the possession of multiple Bibles. Seventeen Christians have received prison sentences up to five years or have been subjected to fines or flogging. One Christian convert testified to his torture. He was violently punched and kicked, and subjected to “a lot of mental and emotional torture.” They threatened harm and indecent treatment of his wife and children. Churches which were once allowed to operate in public have been permanently closed by the state. Overall, the study indicates that Rights Violations in Iran have doubled since 2015. In Romans 8:35-37, the Apostle Paul encourages those who suffer for the faith. He asked, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: ‘For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.' Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." America's fluctuating inflation A respite in inflation has only been temporary in the United States. The Producer Price Index popped up to 7.1% annualized January, reports Wolf Street. And the consumer services sector was up 12.7% on the annualized basis. The indexes have been moving around 3-4% for the last six to nine months. How 7 American companies have saved the stock market Only seven companies out of 60,000 publicly owned companies have contributed to the vast improvement in the stock market indices over the last year. The "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks — Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), Tesla (TSLA), and Nvidia (NVDA) improved their stock value by 71%, compared to only 6% for the remaining 493 companies in the Fortune 500 list, reports Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research. The Magnificent Seven added a total of $5.117 trillion in market capitalization by people investing more money into their stock in 2023 while the entire S&P 500 companies altogether added $6.502 trillion. New “Jesus Saves Us” ads contrast with “Jesus Gets Us” ads You've gotta see this. There's another ad campaign to compete with the Jesus Gets Us campaign featured on the Super Bowl broadcasts, reports The Washington Stand. Former gang leader Jamie Bambrick has released his own “Jesus Saves Us” campaign which is already netting millions of downloads through X and YouTube. Featuring pictures of a former lesbian, a former abortionist, a former drug addict, a former witch, a former right hand man to atheist Richard Dawkins, the video points out that “Jesus doesn't just get us. He saves us, redeems us, forgives us, heals us, delivers us, and loves us.” Described as the Christian Super Bowl ad they should have made, you can watch it through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. These days Jamie Bambrick is an assistant pastor of an Evangelical church in Northern Ireland. Drug overdose deaths in Oregon doubled Drug overdose deaths in Oregon have doubled since 2019 following the passage of a ballot measure to legalize virtually all drugs for personal use, reports Reuters. Measure 110 had passed by a 58%-42% majority. But now, an Emerson College survey finds that 56% of Oregonians support a total repeal of Measure 110! The slipping economies and fertility rates of Japan and America What used to be the second largest economy in the world has slipped to fourth place. Japan is officially in recession after a double quarter slippage of 3.3% and 0.4% negative Gross Domestic Product growth. Japan's Debt to GDP ratio increased from 50% to 260% since 1980. Japan has also led the birth dearth in the world — with the fertility rate lowering from 4.0 to 1.37 since World War II. Meanwhile, the U.S. Debt to GDP ratio increased from 32% to 120% over the same timeframe. The U.S. fertility rate has dropped from 3.6 to 1.66 over the same period of time. Argentina's new monthly surplus On the other side of the world, the Argentine government saw its first monthly budget surplus in almost 12 years ascribed to the spending cuts of the nation's new President Javier Milei. Meanwhile, the Argentine Catholic University reports that 57% of the nations' population has hit poverty levels. That's the worst economic condition in 20 years. Worldwide longevity rising And finally, here's some good news! The worldwide average lifespan has vastly improved since 1971, from 58 years to 71 years. For example, Bangladesh claimed a life expectancy of only 26 years in 1971. Today that's improved to 72 years of age! There have also been huge improvements in life expectancy in Bhutan, Mali, Niger, Algeria, Guatemala, El Salvador, Bolivia, and Portugal. Proverbs 9:10-12 speaks of wisdom this way — “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For by me your days will be multiplied, and years of life will be added to you.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Tuesday, February 20th in the year of our Lord 2024.
