00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:03.960
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:08.040
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:11.250
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:14.820
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:16.800
uncertain times.
6
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.070
And doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:21.510
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:26.100
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:28.860
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:29.970 --> 00:00:32.130
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.470 --> 00:00:36.030
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.730 --> 00:00:41.100
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:43.350
My name is Rick Renner and my friend.
14
00:00:43.350 --> 00:00:46.410
Today we're going to
begin a brand new series,
15
00:00:46.410 --> 00:00:48.750
something I've never taught before,
16
00:00:48.750 --> 00:00:51.360
and it may be one of the
most important things
17
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:52.860
that I've ever taught.
18
00:00:52.860 --> 00:00:54.870
And it is an End-Times subject.
19
00:00:54.870 --> 00:00:57.750
It is a series called The
Rapture of the Antichrist,
20
00:00:57.750 --> 00:01:01.080
the Tribulation, and End-Times Countdown.
21
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:03.090
And what happens next?
22
00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:06.690
Do not miss one of these 20 episodes
23
00:01:06.690 --> 00:01:08.610
because they're just
going to be jam packed
24
00:01:08.610 --> 00:01:12.180
with revelation about the
days that are in front of us.
25
00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:14.700
And this series comes with
a wonderful study guide,
26
00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:18.690
and I'm so excited to
offer you my brand new book
27
00:01:18.690 --> 00:01:21.480
by the same title, the
Rapture of the Antichrist
28
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.960
and the Tribulation,
and End-Times Countdown
29
00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:26.250
and what happens next.
30
00:01:26.250 --> 00:01:28.500
And here we have a picture of
the angel blowing the trumpet,
31
00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:30.720
the rapture, and the antichrist.
32
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:34.290
Who's going to make his big
appearance in the near future?
33
00:01:34.290 --> 00:01:36.060
When is he going to make his appearance?
34
00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:38.820
Well, we answered that
question in this book
35
00:01:38.820 --> 00:01:40.440
and in this series,
36
00:01:40.440 --> 00:01:43.260
but you can order all these
things by going online
37
00:01:43.260 --> 00:01:45.420
or by giving us a call.
38
00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:47.610
And please, when you reach
out to us, let us know how
39
00:01:47.610 --> 00:01:49.680
to pray for you because we're waiting
40
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:50.790
to pray for you right now.
41
00:01:50.790 --> 00:01:53.910
And we really believe that
praying for you is one
42
00:01:53.910 --> 00:01:56.190
of the most important
parts of our ministry.
43
00:01:56.190 --> 00:01:58.710
And when you reach out to us, we really,
44
00:01:58.710 --> 00:02:00.720
really pray for you.
45
00:02:00.720 --> 00:02:03.960
Jeremiah 33:3 says, Call into me.
46
00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:06.030
I'll hear you, I'll answer you,
47
00:02:06.030 --> 00:02:08.490
and I'll show you great and mighty things.
48
00:02:08.490 --> 00:02:10.260
And we believe that God has some great
49
00:02:10.260 --> 00:02:12.870
and mighty things he
wants to do in your life.
50
00:02:12.870 --> 00:02:15.540
So call us or send us an email.
51
00:02:15.540 --> 00:02:17.400
And when we hear from
you, we're really going
52
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:18.480
to begin to pray.
53
00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:20.850
Now you need to reach for your Bible,
54
00:02:20.850 --> 00:02:23.640
and you need your Bible
for every single episode
55
00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:26.490
of this series because we're
gonna be covering a lot
56
00:02:26.490 --> 00:02:29.040
of scripture and we need to understand
57
00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:33.300
what the Bible says about
the rapture, the antichrist,
58
00:02:33.300 --> 00:02:36.360
the tribulation, and what happens next.
59
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.700
So reach for your Bible.
60
00:02:38.700 --> 00:02:40.470
But today I wanna begin
61
00:02:40.470 --> 00:02:43.500
by telling you my personal
story in connection
62
00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:45.210
with the rapture of the church.
63
00:02:45.210 --> 00:02:46.920
When I was growing up,
64
00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:50.100
we had a annual revival in our church.
65
00:02:50.100 --> 00:02:52.020
Now, today, when you hear
the word revival, we think
66
00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:53.250
of a mighty move of God.
67
00:02:53.250 --> 00:02:57.720
But when I was growing up, a
revival was a week of meetings
68
00:02:57.720 --> 00:02:59.860
and we called them revival meetings
69
00:02:59.860 --> 00:03:03.370
and usually an evangelist came to preach. In our church,
70
00:03:03.370 --> 00:03:06.250
we had a revival twice a year.
71
00:03:06.250 --> 00:03:09.160
And when the evangelist
came, he was fiery.
72
00:03:09.160 --> 00:03:11.350
He would preach about the end times,
73
00:03:11.350 --> 00:03:13.360
he would preach about backsliders,
74
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.340
he would preach about hell.
75
00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:17.530
And in fact, I was saved
76
00:03:17.530 --> 00:03:19.780
because of an evangelist
who preached in one
77
00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:23.260
of our revival meetings
and he preached on hell.
78
00:03:23.260 --> 00:03:27.400
And when he preached on hell,
he was so vivid, I nearly felt
79
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.280
as if I could feel the
fires of hell curling
80
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.200
around the bottom of my feet.
81
00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:35.470
And it really drove me
into the arms of Jesus.
82
00:03:35.470 --> 00:03:38.710
But usually on the last
night of the revival meeting,
83
00:03:38.710 --> 00:03:43.060
the evangelist would preach about the rapture of the church
84
00:03:43.060 --> 00:03:46.000
and the way that they would
preach about the rapture just
85
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.000
scared the living daylights out of me
86
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.710
'cause he would always say, if Jesus came today,
87
00:03:53.710 --> 00:03:58.710
are you absolutely sure that
you would go in the rapture?
88
00:03:58.870 --> 00:04:01.960
And that question was so filled with fear
89
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.900
that it terrified me to
think about the rapture
90
00:04:04.900 --> 00:04:06.880
of the church.
91
00:04:06.880 --> 00:04:10.300
And then in 1972, when
I was a young teenager,
92
00:04:10.300 --> 00:04:14.200
a movie came out called
a Thief in the Night.
93
00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:17.050
If you're my age, you
might remember that movie,
94
00:04:17.050 --> 00:04:18.340
A Thief in The Night.
95
00:04:18.340 --> 00:04:21.820
And the whole movie was
about a girl who went to bed
96
00:04:21.820 --> 00:04:23.860
with her husband: in the morning,
97
00:04:23.860 --> 00:04:25.420
she was awakened by the radio,
98
00:04:25.420 --> 00:04:28.930
and the radio was announcing that during the night, millions
99
00:04:28.930 --> 00:04:32.170
of Christians had disappeared
all over the world.
100
00:04:32.170 --> 00:04:35.350
And she turned to her husband
and her husband was gone.
101
00:04:35.350 --> 00:04:38.290
He had been raptured and
she had been left behind.
102
00:04:38.290 --> 00:04:42.400
And the whole rest of the
movie was about her navigating
103
00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:47.260
through the tribulation, people being decapitated..ayy.
104
00:04:47.260 --> 00:04:50.470
And that movie was so fearful filled
105
00:04:50.470 --> 00:04:52.660
that when I thought about
the rapture of the church,
106
00:04:52.660 --> 00:04:54.490
it was not very comforting.
107
00:04:54.490 --> 00:04:55.930
And this is amazing
108
00:04:55.930 --> 00:04:59.050
because in 1 Thessalonians 4:18,
109
00:04:59.050 --> 00:05:01.840
the apostle Paul says that
when we talk about the rapture
110
00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:03.940
of the church, it should comfort us.
111
00:05:03.940 --> 00:05:08.740
He says, wherefore comfort
one another with these words.
112
00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:13.740
But for me, the whole subject
of the rapture was terrifying.
113
00:05:13.960 --> 00:05:15.820
And even though I knew it
was a very important Bible
114
00:05:15.820 --> 00:05:18.220
doctrine, I kind of steered clear
115
00:05:18.220 --> 00:05:20.050
of the subject of the rapture.
116
00:05:20.050 --> 00:05:24.010
Then when I went to the
university in the early 1970s,
117
00:05:24.010 --> 00:05:25.780
a popular book came out
118
00:05:25.780 --> 00:05:29.200
that called into question entirely the teaching about the
119
00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:30.670
rapture of the church.
120
00:05:30.670 --> 00:05:32.080
And this book insinuated
121
00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:35.620
that the rapture was a
modern day fabrication
122
00:05:35.620 --> 00:05:37.270
that the rapture had
not really been taught
123
00:05:37.270 --> 00:05:38.350
by the early church.
124
00:05:38.350 --> 00:05:41.440
And that book kind of caught
on and it became popular.
125
00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:44.860
So every time I came to
the subject of the rapture,
126
00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:47.470
it either instilled fear in my heart
127
00:05:47.470 --> 00:05:50.350
or it seemed to be such
a scandalous issue.
128
00:05:50.350 --> 00:05:52.840
Some believed in it, some
didn't believe in it.
129
00:05:52.840 --> 00:05:56.320
And so I just decided as
a young person, I want
130
00:05:56.320 --> 00:05:59.300
to steer clear of the
subject of the rapture.
131
00:05:59.300 --> 00:06:01.700
Even though I knew it
was a Bible doctrine,
132
00:06:01.700 --> 00:06:03.170
I didn't know what to do with it.
133
00:06:03.170 --> 00:06:05.840
Some people liked the
subject, some people didn't.
134
00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:08.210
Some people believed in the
rapture, some people didn't.
135
00:06:08.210 --> 00:06:11.810
And for me personally, it
really caused a lot of fear.
136
00:06:11.810 --> 00:06:14.510
In fact, it caused so much
fear in me as a young man
137
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.170
that I can remember
coming home from school.
138
00:06:18.170 --> 00:06:21.380
And when I would get home from
school, if nobody was there,
139
00:06:21.380 --> 00:06:23.570
I was stricken with fear that
the rapture had happened,
140
00:06:23.570 --> 00:06:26.990
that my family had been taken,
and I'd been left behind
141
00:06:26.990 --> 00:06:29.150
and I would run to the
kitchen, to the rotary phone,
142
00:06:29.150 --> 00:06:30.920
which was hanging on the wall,
143
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.440
and I would reach for
the church phone book
144
00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:36.860
and I would begin calling people in the church phone book
145
00:06:36.860 --> 00:06:39.110
that I really knew were born again.
146
00:06:39.110 --> 00:06:41.570
And if one didn't answer,
then I'd call the next one.
147
00:06:41.570 --> 00:06:43.370
If that one didn't answer,
I'd call the next one.
148
00:06:43.370 --> 00:06:47.240
And I remember thinking,
answer, answer, please answer.
149
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.720
I was so afraid the
rapture had taken place
150
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.060
and my faith had been found effective
151
00:06:53.060 --> 00:06:54.320
and I had been left behind.
152
00:06:54.320 --> 00:06:57.800
And finally when somebody
would answer the phone,
153
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.020
they would say, Ricky, is
there a reason you're calling?
154
00:07:00.020 --> 00:07:01.940
I never knew what to tell them.
155
00:07:01.940 --> 00:07:05.060
I would say, no, I'm, I'm
just calling to say hello.
156
00:07:05.060 --> 00:07:08.120
Oh, I was trying to
find somebody still here
157
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.350
so I would know I had not
been left in the rapture of
158
00:07:12.350 --> 00:07:13.910
the church.
159
00:07:13.910 --> 00:07:16.820
This was really a
fear-filled topic for me,
160
00:07:16.820 --> 00:07:19.520
and maybe it has been a fear-filled topic
161
00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:21.290
for you, but it shouldn't be.
162
00:07:21.290 --> 00:07:24.770
Again, we're told in 1 Thessalonians 4:18 - we're
163
00:07:24.770 --> 00:07:26.840
supposed to comfort one another
164
00:07:26.840 --> 00:07:28.790
when we talk about the rapture of the church.
165
00:07:28.790 --> 00:07:31.400
This should be a comforting subject
166
00:07:31.400 --> 00:07:34.460
and that's why you need to
hear every single episode
167
00:07:34.460 --> 00:07:35.780
of this series.
168
00:07:35.780 --> 00:07:40.100
But in this series, we're going to cover what Jesus, Paul
169
00:07:40.100 --> 00:07:43.580
and Peter said about the rapture of the church:
170
00:07:43.580 --> 00:07:46.940
what the Bible tells us about the tribulation
171
00:07:46.940 --> 00:07:48.830
and when it will begin.
172
00:07:48.830 --> 00:07:50.900
We're going to see what the
Bible tells us about the
173
00:07:50.900 --> 00:07:53.630
antichrist and the mark of the beast.
174
00:07:53.630 --> 00:07:54.860
And when the antichrist
175
00:07:54.860 --> 00:07:58.280
and the mark of the beast will
make their big appearance:
176
00:07:58.280 --> 00:08:00.890
we're going to see what the
Bible says about the marriage
177
00:08:00.890 --> 00:08:02.450
feast of the lamb.
178
00:08:02.450 --> 00:08:05.360
We're going to see what the Bible says about Christ's 2nd
179
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.630
coming and about the Great White Throne Judgment
180
00:08:08.630 --> 00:08:12.590
and what we need to do to
be prepared for the rapture
181
00:08:12.590 --> 00:08:14.600
of the church.
182
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:18.650
The rapture of the church
is an undeniable doctrine
183
00:08:18.650 --> 00:08:23.090
of scripture that a moment is
coming when Christ is going
184
00:08:23.090 --> 00:08:25.310
to descend into the lower atmosphere.
185
00:08:25.310 --> 00:08:27.140
He is going to come with a shout
186
00:08:27.140 --> 00:08:28.610
and with a voice of the archangel
187
00:08:28.610 --> 00:08:30.800
and the blast of a trumpet.
188
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:34.010
And suddenly those that are
dead in Christ are going
189
00:08:34.010 --> 00:08:35.090
to be raised first.
190
00:08:35.090 --> 00:08:37.520
Then we which are alive
191
00:08:37.520 --> 00:08:40.250
and remain will be
caught up into the clouds
192
00:08:40.250 --> 00:08:43.310
to meet the Lord in the air.
193
00:08:43.310 --> 00:08:46.310
The Bible explicitly teaches this.
194
00:08:46.310 --> 00:08:51.200
It is an undeniable doctrine
of the New Testament,
195
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.510
and in fact, Paul wrote about the rapture
196
00:08:53.510 --> 00:08:55.800
of the church in 3 of his epistles.
197
00:08:55.800 --> 00:08:57.000
He wrote about the rapture
198
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.270
of the church in 1 Thessalonians 4:
199
00:09:00.270 --> 00:09:02.670
2 Thessalonians 2:
200
00:09:02.670 --> 00:09:03.930
and he wrote about the rapture
201
00:09:03.930 --> 00:09:06.630
of the church in 1 Corinthians 15.
202
00:09:06.630 --> 00:09:09.240
And in this series we're
going to be looking at all
203
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:10.770
of these passages,
204
00:09:10.770 --> 00:09:14.760
but someone may ask this question -
205
00:09:14.760 --> 00:09:18.360
If the rapture of the church is an undeniable doctrine
206
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:23.160
of scripture, then why is the rapture not described
207
00:09:23.160 --> 00:09:25.350
by that name in the New Testament?
208
00:09:25.350 --> 00:09:28.830
Brother Rick, the word rapture
is not a biblical term.
209
00:09:28.830 --> 00:09:31.320
It's nowhere in the New Testament.
210
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.210
So where do we find the rapture
211
00:09:33.210 --> 00:09:36.420
of the church in the New Testament?
212
00:09:36.420 --> 00:09:39.660
Well, that's a very good question and it deserves an answer.
213
00:09:39.660 --> 00:09:41.550
But to answer that question, we have
214
00:09:41.550 --> 00:09:44.040
to go a little bit back into history.
215
00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:46.530
Jerome was the first
216
00:09:46.530 --> 00:09:50.640
to translate the sacred scriptures into a common language,
217
00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:54.780
and the language that he
translated them into was Latin
218
00:09:54.780 --> 00:09:58.110
and Latin at that time that
he used was called Vulgar.
219
00:09:58.110 --> 00:10:00.990 line:15%
It was Vulgar Latin. It doesn't mean that it was offensive.
220
00:10:00.990 --> 00:10:02.580
The word vulgar meant it was the common
221
00:10:02.580 --> 00:10:03.690
language of the people.
222
00:10:03.690 --> 00:10:05.490
It was Common Latin,
223
00:10:05.490 --> 00:10:10.290
and that's why Jerome's translation was called the Vulgate.
224
00:10:10.290 --> 00:10:13.770
It was the Latin translation
of the sacred scriptures
225
00:10:13.770 --> 00:10:17.130
and the very first to ever be carried out.
226
00:10:17.130 --> 00:10:20.490
And when Jerome translated
the scriptures into the Latin
227
00:10:20.490 --> 00:10:24.720
version, he actually lived
in a little grotto near the
228
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.910
Church of the Holy Nativity in Bethlehem,
229
00:10:26.910 --> 00:10:30.120
and he worked there
for more than 20 years.
230
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.660
And when he came to 1 Thessalonians 4:
231
00:10:33.660 --> 00:10:37.620
17, where we find the Greek word harpadzo.
232
00:10:37.620 --> 00:10:39.930
The word harpadzo means - to catch away.
233
00:10:39.930 --> 00:10:42.060
I'm gonna deal with that
word in just a moment,
234
00:10:42.060 --> 00:10:45.420
but he translated the word harpadzo, the Greek word
235
00:10:45.420 --> 00:10:49.770
as the word rapture in his Latin translation.
236
00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:53.760
So the word rapture is actually a translation
237
00:10:53.760 --> 00:10:55.210
of the Greek word harpadzo,
238
00:10:55.210 --> 00:10:59.190
which is in 1st Thessalonians 4:17.
239
00:10:59.190 --> 00:11:02.130
And Jerome's work was so important
240
00:11:02.130 --> 00:11:05.220
that it was the most significant, profound translation
241
00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:09.510
of the holy scriptures for 1000 years,
242
00:11:09.510 --> 00:11:13.920
and it became the basis for
all other early translations,
243
00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:17.490
and that's why his translation of the word harpadzo,
244
00:11:17.490 --> 00:11:19.530
as the word rapture, became
245
00:11:19.530 --> 00:11:22.350
so pronounced in the Christian community.
246
00:11:22.350 --> 00:11:25.530
That's where the word rapture comes from,
247
00:11:25.530 --> 00:11:28.250
but it's actually a translation of the Greek word, harpadzo,
248
00:11:28.250 --> 00:11:29.880
which is in our Bible.
249
00:11:29.880 --> 00:11:33.660
It's in 1 Thessalonians 4:17
250
00:11:33.660 --> 00:11:36.060
where it is translated - caught away.
251
00:11:36.060 --> 00:11:37.860
That is the word rapture.
252
00:11:37.860 --> 00:11:41.580
So the word rapture really
is in the New Testament.
253
00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:46.140
But today I want us to look
at every instance of this word
254
00:11:46.140 --> 00:11:46.973
harpadzo, which is translated rapture
255
00:11:46.973 --> 00:11:47.806
in the Latin translation
256
00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:52.470
and in our Bible, King James Bible,
257
00:11:52.470 --> 00:11:55.000
it's translated in a variety of ways,
258
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:58.060
but listen to what the word harpadzo, means.
259
00:11:58.060 --> 00:12:01.690
It means to catch away,
it means to abduct,
260
00:12:01.690 --> 00:12:04.030
to forcibly carry away.
261
00:12:04.030 --> 00:12:06.070
And again, I want to give
you some illustrations
262
00:12:06.070 --> 00:12:07.510
of this word, every instance
263
00:12:07.510 --> 00:12:10.300
of the word harpadzo in the New Testament.
264
00:12:10.300 --> 00:12:13.990
So first of all, let's go to Matthew 11:12
265
00:12:13.990 --> 00:12:15.250
where Jesus says,
266
00:12:16.270 --> 00:12:19.330
And from the days of John the Baptist, until now,
267
00:12:19.330 --> 00:12:21.400
the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence
268
00:12:21.400 --> 00:12:25.060
and the violent take it by force.
269
00:12:25.060 --> 00:12:29.560
Those words - take it by force - are translation
270
00:12:29.560 --> 00:12:31.330
of the word, harpadzo,
271
00:12:31.330 --> 00:12:34.060
which Jerome translated as the word rapture,
272
00:12:34.060 --> 00:12:37.930
but the word harpadzo, describes a sudden seizing
273
00:12:37.930 --> 00:12:41.620
or an abrupt taking by force.
274
00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:44.890
Then we come to Matthew 12:29,
275
00:12:44.890 --> 00:12:48.310
where Jesus says - talking about how to deal with the devil
276
00:12:48.310 --> 00:12:51.400
Or else how can one enter into a strong man house
277
00:12:51.400 --> 00:12:53.470
and spoil his goods -
278
00:12:53.470 --> 00:12:57.730
notice that word spoil - except 1st he bind the strong man
279
00:12:57.730 --> 00:13:00.850
and then he will spoil his house.
280
00:13:00.850 --> 00:13:03.190
So the word spoil appears
twice in this verse
281
00:13:03.190 --> 00:13:06.850
and both times it is the Greek word harpadzo
282
00:13:06.850 --> 00:13:11.560
and it means to suddenly plunder, to suddenly seize,
283
00:13:11.560 --> 00:13:15.730
or to suddenly take away, and
carries the idea of immediacy
284
00:13:15.730 --> 00:13:17.650
and suddenness.
285
00:13:17.650 --> 00:13:20.860
Then you come to Matthew 13:19,
286
00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:24.670
and in Jesus parable of the
sower and the seed, he said,
287
00:13:24.670 --> 00:13:27.160
And when anyone heareth the word of the kingdom
288
00:13:27.160 --> 00:13:31.270
and understandeth not, then cometh that wicked one
289
00:13:31.270 --> 00:13:35.770
and catcheth away that which
was sown into his heart.
290
00:13:35.770 --> 00:13:40.770
Those two words, catcheth away, is the Greek word, harpadzo:
291
00:13:41.110 --> 00:13:44.800
and here it depicts a sudden coming to catch
292
00:13:44.800 --> 00:13:47.410
or to suddenly snatch away seed
293
00:13:47.410 --> 00:13:50.320
that has been sown into a person's heart.
294
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.280
Then we come to John 6:15 where Jesus said,
295
00:13:54.280 --> 00:13:57.130
And when Jesus therefore perceived that they would come
296
00:13:57.130 --> 00:14:01.390
and take him by force - notice those words take him by force
297
00:14:01.390 --> 00:14:02.800
to make him a king -
298
00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:05.380
he departed again into a mountain by himself.
299
00:14:05.380 --> 00:14:08.770
But those words - take by force -
300
00:14:08.770 --> 00:14:10.540
it is a translation of the Greek word harpadzo.
301
00:14:11.500 --> 00:14:15.220
And here it describes a moment when Jesus perceived
302
00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:20.200
that the multitude would
attempt to suddenly abduct him
303
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.620
or suddenly and forcibly take him away.
304
00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:25.690
That's the Greek word, harpadzo.
305
00:14:25.690 --> 00:14:27.970
Then we come to John 10:12,
306
00:14:27.970 --> 00:14:29.920
and speaking of false pastors
307
00:14:29.920 --> 00:14:34.030
and false shepherds, Jesus said - But he that isn't hireling
308
00:14:34.030 --> 00:14:37.690
and not the shepherd who's owned the sheep are not, seeth
309
00:14:37.690 --> 00:14:40.510
the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and fleeth
310
00:14:40.510 --> 00:14:44.980
and the wolf catcheth them and scattereth the sheep.
311
00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:47.555
This word catcheth,
312
00:14:47.555 --> 00:14:50.004
is a translation of the Greek word, harpadzo.
313
00:14:50.004 --> 00:14:51.530
It pictures a sudden
314
00:14:51.530 --> 00:14:56.360
and clandestine snatching
of the sheep from the fold.
315
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:59.660
Then we come to John 10:28,
316
00:14:59.660 --> 00:15:03.470
and Jesus speaking of his followers said,
317
00:15:03.470 --> 00:15:05.990
And I give unto them eternal life
318
00:15:05.990 --> 00:15:07.700
and they shall never perish.
319
00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:12.700
Neither shall any man
pluck them out of my hand.
320
00:15:12.920 --> 00:15:15.740
Pluck out of the hand is a translation
321
00:15:15.740 --> 00:15:17.810
of this Greek word, harpadzo.
322
00:15:17.810 --> 00:15:21.470
It pictures one who
attempts to forcibly take
323
00:15:21.470 --> 00:15:25.190
or forcibly seize someone
from the hand of Jesus.
324
00:15:25.190 --> 00:15:27.680
Then in verse 29, Jesus continues
325
00:15:27.680 --> 00:15:29.900
and says - My Father
326
00:15:29.900 --> 00:15:32.930
which gave them me is greater than them all
327
00:15:32.930 --> 00:15:37.160
and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
328
00:15:37.160 --> 00:15:40.910
And the word pluck, again is the Greek word harpadzo,
329
00:15:40.910 --> 00:15:44.990
which pictures one who tends to forcibly take us
330
00:15:44.990 --> 00:15:47.870
or forcibly sees us from the hand of the Father
331
00:15:47.870 --> 00:15:49.760
or to take or to seize.
332
00:15:49.760 --> 00:15:53.240
And then we come to Acts 8:39,
333
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:56.570
and the Bible tells us
that Philip was preaching
334
00:15:56.570 --> 00:15:58.130
to the Ethiopian eunuch.
335
00:15:58.130 --> 00:16:01.490
Now this is just amazing and
here's what the Bible says.
336
00:16:01.490 --> 00:16:03.740
And when they were come up
out of the water, the spirit
337
00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:06.590
of the Lord caught away, Philip,
338
00:16:06.590 --> 00:16:08.570
that the eunuch saw him no more.
339
00:16:08.570 --> 00:16:10.880
So Philip instantly disappeared
340
00:16:10.880 --> 00:16:12.590
and he went on his way rejoicing,
341
00:16:12.590 --> 00:16:15.560
but notice the two words, caught away Philip,
342
00:16:15.560 --> 00:16:19.310
that is the Greek word, harpadzo, the same word,
343
00:16:19.310 --> 00:16:22.460
and here he describes Philip being suddenly
344
00:16:22.460 --> 00:16:24.590
and supernaturally snatched away
345
00:16:24.590 --> 00:16:28.940
and supernaturally
transported from one place
346
00:16:28.940 --> 00:16:30.320
to another place.
347
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.230
Then you come to Acts 23:10,
348
00:16:33.230 --> 00:16:36.110
where we read about an event in the life of the apostle Paul
349
00:16:36.110 --> 00:16:39.740
and it says - And when there arose a great dissension,
350
00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:41.510
the chief captain fearing
351
00:16:41.510 --> 00:16:43.580
that Paul should have been pulled in pieces
352
00:16:43.580 --> 00:16:46.400
of them, commanded the soldiers to go down
353
00:16:46.400 --> 00:16:50.150
and to take him by force from among them
354
00:16:50.150 --> 00:16:51.800
and to bring him into the castle.
355
00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:56.150
Those words - to take by force - are a translation
356
00:16:56.150 --> 00:16:58.010
of the Greek word, harpadzo,
357
00:16:58.010 --> 00:17:01.220
and it pictures Roman soldiers who wish to suddenly
358
00:17:01.220 --> 00:17:05.540
and forcibly seize Paul and snatch him away.
359
00:17:05.540 --> 00:17:08.750
Then you come to 2 Corinthians 12:2,
360
00:17:08.750 --> 00:17:10.700
where Paul gave a testimony
361
00:17:10.700 --> 00:17:13.040
of a moment when he was taken into the 3rd Heaven
362
00:17:13.040 --> 00:17:17.750
and Paul says - I knew a man in Christ above 14 years ago,
363
00:17:17.750 --> 00:17:19.460
whether in the body I cannot tell
364
00:17:19.460 --> 00:17:21.860
or whether out of the body, I cannot tell God knoweth
365
00:17:21.860 --> 00:17:25.970
but listen to this - such a one was caught up
366
00:17:25.970 --> 00:17:27.170
into the 3rd Heaven.
367
00:17:27.170 --> 00:17:29.000
This is the Greek word, harpadzo,
368
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.580
to be caught up into the 3rd Heaven.
369
00:17:31.580 --> 00:17:33.410
And Paul uses this word
370
00:17:33.410 --> 00:17:35.810
to describe an event in his
own life in which he was
371
00:17:35.810 --> 00:17:40.430
suddenly and supernaturally
transported into heaven.
372
00:17:40.430 --> 00:17:43.370
And then in 2 Corinthians 12:4,
373
00:17:43.370 --> 00:17:45.770
Paul expounded again on this event
374
00:17:45.770 --> 00:17:50.220
and said how that he was
caught up into paradise.
375
00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:52.170
Those words caught up,
376
00:17:52.170 --> 00:17:54.636
our translation of the Greek word harpadzo,
377
00:17:54.636 --> 00:17:57.240
and Paul uses this word again to describe
378
00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.370
that moment when he was suddenly
379
00:17:59.370 --> 00:18:03.630
and supernaturally transported
from earth into heaven.
380
00:18:03.630 --> 00:18:05.970
Then in 1 Thessalonians 4:17,
381
00:18:05.970 --> 00:18:08.790
we find the verse about
the rapture of the church
382
00:18:08.790 --> 00:18:11.370
and it says that then we which are alive
383
00:18:11.370 --> 00:18:13.500
and it remains shall be caught up together
384
00:18:13.500 --> 00:18:15.930
with him in the clouds to
meet the Lord in the air
385
00:18:15.930 --> 00:18:18.330
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
386
00:18:18.330 --> 00:18:23.040
Those words, caught up, are the word harpadzo,
387
00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:27.750
and this word describes the
future moment when the church
388
00:18:27.750 --> 00:18:32.130
will be suddenly and supernaturally
transported to heaven.
389
00:18:32.130 --> 00:18:34.800
My friends, this is a
doctrine of the New Testament.
390
00:18:34.800 --> 00:18:36.630
Then we come to Jude 23
391
00:18:36.630 --> 00:18:40.290
where we find the word harpadzo used again and Jude says,
392
00:18:40.290 --> 00:18:44.280
And others saved with fear pulling them out of the fire,
393
00:18:44.280 --> 00:18:47.130
hating even the garment
spotted by the flesh.
394
00:18:47.130 --> 00:18:50.760
Those words, pulling them out, are translated from the Greek
395
00:18:50.760 --> 00:18:54.810
word, harpadzo and it depicts a sudden and forcible seizing
396
00:18:54.810 --> 00:18:58.230
or snatching of someone from
a dangerous predicament.
397
00:18:58.230 --> 00:19:01.680
It pictures a rescue operation
398
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:06.300
that occurs just in the nick of time.
399
00:19:06.300 --> 00:19:09.450
Then finally we come to Revelation 12:5,
400
00:19:09.450 --> 00:19:12.030
where the Bible is speaking
about the woman and the dragon
401
00:19:12.030 --> 00:19:16.530
and John wrote - And she brought forth a man child who was
402
00:19:16.530 --> 00:19:19.380
to rule all the nations with a rod of iron
403
00:19:19.380 --> 00:19:23.490
and her child was caught up
unto God and to his throne.
404
00:19:23.490 --> 00:19:26.190
Those words, caught up, are a translation
405
00:19:26.190 --> 00:19:27.810
of the Greek word, harpadzo,
406
00:19:27.810 --> 00:19:31.560
and it described one
who is abruptly suddenly
407
00:19:31.560 --> 00:19:36.560
and supernaturally transported
to God and to his throne.
408
00:19:36.600 --> 00:19:38.220
Now, I know I've covered
a lot of scriptures.
409
00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:40.440
I told you you'd be
using your bible today,
410
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:43.650
but I want you to see every
single instance where the word
411
00:19:44.550 --> 00:19:46.500
harpadzo, is used in the New Testament.
412
00:19:46.500 --> 00:19:50.220
And again, we know that Jerome
translated this Greek word
413
00:19:50.220 --> 00:19:51.690
harpadzo as the word rapture,
414
00:19:51.690 --> 00:19:54.270
but in Greek it means - listen to this -
415
00:19:54.270 --> 00:19:55.320
It describes something
416
00:19:55.320 --> 00:19:59.160
or someone that is abducted,
carried away, carried off,
417
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:03.120
caught up, forcibly grasped
or suddenly snatched away.
418
00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:07.470
And here Paul is describing a
future moment when Christ is
419
00:20:07.470 --> 00:20:12.470
going to descend into the
lower atmosphere with a shout.
420
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:14.940
There's also going to be
the voice of the archangel
421
00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:17.430
and a blast of the trumpet,
422
00:20:17.430 --> 00:20:20.490
and the Bible tells us
the dead in Christ will be
423
00:20:20.490 --> 00:20:21.570
raised first.
424
00:20:21.570 --> 00:20:26.100
Then next in the sequence of
events, we which are alive
425
00:20:26.100 --> 00:20:28.590
and remain will be caught up:
426
00:20:28.590 --> 00:20:30.715
the Greek word harpadzo:
427
00:20:30.715 --> 00:20:32.414
we're going to be abducted, we're going
428
00:20:32.414 --> 00:20:34.170
to be snatched, we're going
429
00:20:34.170 --> 00:20:38.700
to be forcibly transported
from the earth into the clouds
430
00:20:38.700 --> 00:20:40.830
to meet the Lord in the air.
431
00:20:40.830 --> 00:20:45.150
My friend, this is an undeniable doctrine of scripture,
432
00:20:45.150 --> 00:20:48.160
but I want you to see
the word rapture itself
433
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:49.360
may not be in the Bible.
434
00:20:49.360 --> 00:20:52.270
It's in the Latin translation
of the New Testament.
435
00:20:52.270 --> 00:20:55.120
The Greek word as harpadzo, has the very same meaning,
436
00:20:55.120 --> 00:20:57.220
so the word rapture is okay to use.
437
00:20:57.220 --> 00:21:00.010
It describes that moment
when Christ is going
438
00:21:00.010 --> 00:21:02.950
to snatch the church and carry us away.
439
00:21:02.950 --> 00:21:06.610
And my friends, this event
really will occur in the very
440
00:21:06.610 --> 00:21:08.020
near future;
441
00:21:08.020 --> 00:21:12.040
but in the next program we're
going to talk about who,
442
00:21:12.040 --> 00:21:14.470
who is going to go in the rapture?
443
00:21:14.470 --> 00:21:16.960
Is everybody gonna go? Who is gonna go?
444
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:19.810
That's a very important question, so be sure to join me
445
00:21:19.810 --> 00:21:22.870
for the next episode,
but I've got more to say
446
00:21:22.870 --> 00:21:24.400
and then I'll be back in just a moment.
447
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:33.730
Hey, this is Rick Renner
448
00:21:33.730 --> 00:21:36.130
and somebody has asked
the important question,
449
00:21:36.130 --> 00:21:39.340
how can I really be
certain that it is the Lord
450
00:21:39.340 --> 00:21:41.530
that is directing my steps?
451
00:21:41.530 --> 00:21:44.080
Well, that's a great question.
452
00:21:44.080 --> 00:21:46.540
First of all, you need
to be going to church
453
00:21:46.540 --> 00:21:49.390
where you hear the regular
preaching of the word of God
454
00:21:49.390 --> 00:21:52.240
because God will speak
to you through his word.
455
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:54.610
You need to be reading the Bible yourself
456
00:21:54.610 --> 00:21:57.370
because as you read the
Bible, God will speak
457
00:21:57.370 --> 00:21:58.450
to you through his word.
458
00:21:58.450 --> 00:22:01.330
In fact, his word will
be a lamp to your feet
459
00:22:01.330 --> 00:22:03.130
to give you direction,
460
00:22:03.130 --> 00:22:05.620
and you need to be listening to the voice
461
00:22:05.620 --> 00:22:06.850
of the Holy Spirit.
462
00:22:06.850 --> 00:22:09.250
We're told in Romans 8:14
463
00:22:09.250 --> 00:22:12.190
that if you're a child
of God, you are to be led
464
00:22:12.190 --> 00:22:14.440
by the spirit of God; and my friends,
465
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:15.520
if you're going to church
466
00:22:15.520 --> 00:22:17.500
and you're listening to
the preaching of the Word
467
00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:18.610
and you're reading the Bible
468
00:22:18.610 --> 00:22:20.350
and the Bible is speaking to you
469
00:22:20.350 --> 00:22:23.170
and you're listening to the
leadership of the Holy Spirit,
470
00:22:23.170 --> 00:22:26.860
the Holy Spirit will lead you and my friend,
471
00:22:26.860 --> 00:22:30.070
you can be sure you're
really being led by God.
472
00:22:31.150 --> 00:22:34.480
Are you afraid of what will
happen at the end of the age?
473
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:37.120
The Lord's return should not scare us,
474
00:22:37.120 --> 00:22:39.820
but instead comfort us.
475
00:22:39.820 --> 00:22:43.420

500
00:24:04.280 --> 00:24:05.570
Hey, this is Rick Renner,
501
00:24:05.570 --> 00:24:08.810
and right now I'm standing
in the reception area
502
00:24:08.810 --> 00:24:11.660
of the Tulsa Ministry Headquarters,
503
00:24:11.660 --> 00:24:14.810
and this building is just so wonderful.
504
00:24:14.810 --> 00:24:19.580
You know, the Bible tells us in Proverbs 10:21, The Lips
505
00:24:19.580 --> 00:24:22.520
of the Righteous Feed many.
506
00:24:22.520 --> 00:24:25.160
And I know that is our assignment.
507
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:29.420
God has called us to feed many
people the trusted teaching
508
00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:30.920
of the Bible.
509
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.410
And together with you
and all of our partners,
510
00:24:33.410 --> 00:24:37.310
we really are taking the trusted teaching of the word of God
511
00:24:37.310 --> 00:24:40.220
to the very ends of the earth.
512
00:24:40.220 --> 00:24:42.680
But this is the reception
part of the Tulsa building.
513
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:44.420
And every day thousands
514
00:24:44.420 --> 00:24:48.320
of phone calls come into
this facility from people
515
00:24:48.320 --> 00:24:50.150
that are watching the program
516
00:24:50.150 --> 00:24:52.520
and who are reaching out for prayer.
517
00:24:52.520 --> 00:24:56.630
Right now, we've paid off
about 78% of this facility
518
00:24:56.630 --> 00:24:58.970
and that is just wonderful,
519
00:24:58.970 --> 00:25:00.920
but now we need to knock
it out of the ballpark.
520
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:02.480
We need to finish this
521
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:05.420
because when we're finished
paying off this facility,
522
00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:09.200
that frees up finances so
we can take the teaching
523
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:12.890
of the Bible to more places
across the face of the earth
524
00:25:12.890 --> 00:25:15.680
where people are crying out for someone
525
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.020
to feed them the word of God.
526
00:25:18.020 --> 00:25:20.750
And so today, if you're not already a part
527
00:25:20.750 --> 00:25:23.750
of our Giving Team to pay off this facility, I'm asking you
528
00:25:23.750 --> 00:25:27.770
to join us as a part of our Ministry Expansion Project
529
00:25:27.770 --> 00:25:31.880
to pay off this facility and
we can say, done, finished,
530
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:34.370
and give glory to God that my friends,
531
00:25:34.370 --> 00:25:35.990
we can only do it with your help.
532
00:25:35.990 --> 00:25:39.170
So thank you if you're
already part of the team,
533
00:25:39.170 --> 00:25:42.710
and if not yet part of the
team, please join us as a part
534
00:25:42.710 --> 00:25:44.870
of the Giving Team to pay off this facility
535
00:25:44.870 --> 00:25:46.730
so we can be finished with it
536
00:25:46.730 --> 00:25:49.580
and use these funds to
take the gospel further
537
00:25:49.580 --> 00:25:51.860
to other places across the world.
538
00:25:59.870 --> 00:26:02.210
Today we have covered a lot
539
00:26:02.210 --> 00:26:04.580
of information about the
Rapture of the Church.
540
00:26:04.580 --> 00:26:06.980
I want you to understand the word rapture
541
00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:10.880
of the Greek word harpadzo which means to abduct, to seize,
542
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:12.320
to snatch, to carry away.
543
00:26:12.320 --> 00:26:15.320
It really is a New Testament word
544
00:26:15.320 --> 00:26:17.840
and it's found in multiple
places all over the New
545
00:26:17.840 --> 00:26:21.830
Testament, most prominently in 1 Thessalonians 4:
546
00:26:21.830 --> 00:26:25.460
17, where Paul says the church is gonna be caught up
547
00:26:25.460 --> 00:26:26.900
to meet the Lord in the air.
548
00:26:26.900 --> 00:26:30.650
This really is a biblical
word, the word rapture,
549
00:26:30.650 --> 00:26:33.320
the Greek word harpadzo, to catch up.
550
00:26:33.320 --> 00:26:35.270
That event is in front of us.
551
00:26:35.270 --> 00:26:38.630
And the next program, we're
going to see who is going
552
00:26:38.630 --> 00:26:40.520
to go in the rapture,
553
00:26:40.520 --> 00:26:43.110
but please order the whole
series called, The Rapture,
554
00:26:43.110 --> 00:26:46.410
the Antichrist and the Tribulation: comes with a study guide
555
00:26:46.410 --> 00:26:50.580
and please order the new book, which is called The Rapture,
556
00:26:50.580 --> 00:26:54.420
the Antichrist and the Tribulation, An End-Times Countdown
557
00:26:54.420 --> 00:26:56.340
and What Happens Next?
558
00:26:56.340 --> 00:27:00.690
There's no reason for you to
have fear about these events,
559
00:27:00.690 --> 00:27:03.030
and when you know what the Bible says,
560
00:27:03.030 --> 00:27:06.270
it dissolves your fear
and it gives you peace.
561
00:27:06.270 --> 00:27:09.120
And that's why I wrote this book.
562
00:27:09.120 --> 00:27:11.850
But you can order all these
things by going online
563
00:27:11.850 --> 00:27:12.990
or by giving us a call.
564
00:27:12.990 --> 00:27:16.320
And please, please let us know how to pray for you
565
00:27:16.320 --> 00:27:18.360
and Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you
566
00:27:18.360 --> 00:27:20.100
that we could be together today.
567
00:27:20.100 --> 00:27:22.650
And Lord, we pray that tomorrow you'll help us to understand
568
00:27:22.650 --> 00:27:24.720
who is gonna go in the rapture
569
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:26.520
and that we would all be ready.
570
00:27:26.520 --> 00:27:29.550
In Jesus name - Amen.
571
00:27:29.550 --> 00:27:32.040
Remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
572
00:27:32.040 --> 00:27:34.950
of a king is, there is power."
573
00:27:34.950 --> 00:27:38.880
Remember that, and I'll see
you in the next program.
574
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:41.160
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
575
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.510
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
576
00:27:45.510 --> 00:27:47.670
Jesus has to give you.
577
00:27:47.670 --> 00:27:51.750
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord,
578
00:27:51.750 --> 00:27:55.800
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
579
00:27:55.800 --> 00:27:58.740
and Lord. Wash away my sin
580
00:27:58.740 --> 00:28:01.770
and make me completely new.
581
00:28:01.770 --> 00:28:05.640
I thank you that my sin is removed
582
00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:10.640
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
583
00:28:11.100 --> 00:28:15.090
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
584
00:28:15.090 --> 00:28:16.740
for the rest of my life
585
00:28:17.670 --> 00:28:21.930
Amen. Thank you for joining Rick Renner today.
