End Times Explained: Great Tribulation, Anti-Christ, Ascension of Christ, Mt.of Olives, Rapture

welcome to the Holy Land in this biblical site of the Mount of Olives right here we're on the highest point on the Mount of Olives and there's and there's here called a Chapel of the Ascension so this is the place where it is believed that Christ rose and went back to heaven that he ascended back into heaven and is here according to Zechariah 14 that he will return in power and great glory also Matthew 24 so of all the places in Israel I have to tell you this is one of my favorite places because so much takes place here this is where God will flip evil and make it subservient to good and righteousness this is a place where Christ is going to come back in power and great glory and reign on this earth for a thousand years with all believers who have received him so a lot is going to happen here so we're going to be looking at a few items from Scripture here this is a video is about the end times right here from the Mount of Olives this is the highest point on the Mount of Olives and once again this is a place that is the site that has been marked out according to tradition and we have to give tradition a lot of weight wherein Christ ascended and then according to Scripture he will return in power and great glory so it's of all the places it's one of my favorite ones so this is going to be a great video so well here we are inside this chapel we filmed outside so here we are inside this chapel we wanted to show you this Rock right here is the highest point on the Mount of Olives so this whole Chapel this whole area has been reserved and set aside for two thousand years roughly for her to remember where Christ ascended from and also where he is going to come back in power and great glory so this is the absolute highest point on the Mount of Olives where according to Zechariah 14 Christ that comes back and touches down and from where he ascended back to heaven from now in order to help you better understand what we're going to be talking about in this video we're going to give you a bird's eye view of the events on God's calendar that have happened and are yet to happen so Christ came in the flesh and he died on the cross for our sins that's how his first coming now we're in what's called the present church age we've been in that now for 2,000 plus years the next event on God's calendar and there's nothing that needs to happen in order for this to take place is the rapture of the church this is where Christ comes in the clouds and that's alone ian's he comes in the clouds and the believers go up in the air and they meet him in the air in the clouds and then what's assured in next is what's called the Great Tribulation Period in Daniel 9:27 the Antichrist makes a pact with many for seven years and this launches us into the Great Tribulation Period now it should be noted that the first half of the Great Tribulation Period is a time of peace this Antichrist makes a pact with many a covenant with many for seven years but the first three and a half years is a time of peace then in the middle of the tribulation period he goes into the temple a functioning temple in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount and he declares himself as God sets himself up as God demands to be worshipped as God and Institute's the mark of the beast so that people can't buy or sell unless they receive the mark of the beast and at the end of the Great Tribulation Period is when Christ comes back on the earth touches down on Mount the Mount of Zechariah 14:4 the armies of heaven come back with him revelation 19 we come back with him the angels come back with him and he comes and touches to the earth separates the sheep from the goats and then sets up his millennial reign on earth that will last for a thousand years and of course the angels and we in our new supernatural glorified body we will reign with Christ on the earth over those who came out of the Tribulation Period who would receive Christ during the Tribulation Period so he sets up his millennial reign here he rules with the rod of iron which means perfect justice during the millennial reign at the beginning Christ binds Satan and throws him into this pit and seals him for a thousand years and at the end he's loosed he comes out deceives the nation's rebellion against God God wipes them out and then you have the great white throne judgment revelation 20 the destruction of the heavens and the earth the creation of the new heavens and earth and then eternity future in either heaven or hell so we're going to be talking somewhat in this video about the second coming of Christ at the end of the Great Tribulation Period when he comes back in power and great glory so this gives you an overview of what is to come what is to take place on God's calendar as we said this is a culminating place where tremendous things happen so the return of Christ back to this earth his second coming to this earth will be one of the greatest culminating events that ever happens on the history of this earth you have to understand that Christ created that all creation he created mankind we had a fall we had his plan unfold we had a redemption in Christ who came back the first time riding on a donkey meek and mild who came to save offer his blood is to die on the cross but he says he's coming back again Matthew 24 of many prophecies that talk about him coming back and he'll come back in power and great glory so this is where it all takes place so this is in essence one of the the most dramatic culminating events of God wrapping up his plan for this creation this earth and mankind here before he creates a new heavens and a new earth after the millennial reign so it begins why in Christ's return in Christ's judgment at the end of the Tribulation Period what we have before us is a Great Tribulation Period that will happen it says in Daniel 9:27 that that this Antichrist will make a pact with many for seven years and that launches us into the Tribulation Period so we believe in a literal prophetic fulfillment of Scripture so we're not taking anything in this sense as figurative we're taking it literal so that's going to be our perspective as we tell you and unfold in this video here so in Revelation 1:7 it says that every being who has ever lived even the demonic Hell will be opened up to see Christ coming back in power and great glory so since behold he is coming with the clouds and every eye will see him even those who pierced him and those people are in Hell right now and all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him even so amen it says and in Revelation nineteen fifty the return of Christ conquers and flips all evil powers as we said it makes them subservient and in submission to Christ it says in revelation 19:15 from his mouth comes a sharp sword with which he will strike down all the nations and he will rule them with a rod of iron he will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty and Christ's coming back his second coming after the tribulation well he will come back in power and extreme glory follow along as you read this in Matthew 24 1 it says immediately after the tribulation of those days this is talking about the great tribulation period immediately after the tribulation of those days the Sun will be darkened the moon won't give its lights I have a dark universe the moon not giving its light and the stars will fall from heaven and the powers of the heaven heavens will be shaken so you have a pitch-black universe that is just trembling as it get as a stage get set for Christ to come back and it says the powers of the heaven of shaken and then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of man and then all of the tribes of the earth will mourn and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory and he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call and they will gather his elect from the four winds from one end of heaven to another so Christ comes back in power and great glory and it says all of the nations and all of the all the people will see him and a revelation 6:16 it says when he opened the sixty-six seal I looked and behold there was a great earthquake and the Sun became black as sackcloth so once again we have a black son that doesn't give us light and the moon will become like blood and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as a fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale so that's the same imagery the same context the same scene that is being described in Revelation just using a few different words and and the full moon became like blood and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as a fig tree said just winter fruit shaken by a gale and the sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up and every mountain and Island was removed from his place then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and powerful and everyone's slave and free hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains calling to the mountains and the rocks fall on us hide on us from the face of him who was seated on the throne and from the wrath of the lamb for the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand so then Christ comes back in power and great glory and it says in Zechariah 14 1 through 4 says he touches down right here where he ascended it says 14 1 through 4 says behold a day is coming for the Lord when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst for I will get there all the nations against Jerusalem to battle and the city shall be taken in the house is plundered and the women raped half of the city shall go out into exile but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle on that day on that day is a cure I 14 for on that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from the east to the west by a very wide valley so that half of the mouth shall be moved northward and the other half southward so Christ literally touches down here when he returns in power and regularly in that scripture also says that the believers will return with Christ in power and great glory as well so in Revelation 19:11 it says then I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse the one sitting on it is called faithful and true and in righteousness he judges and makes war because our eyes are like a flame of fire in his head are like and on his head are many diadem's and he has a name written that no one knows but himself he is clothed in a robe dipped in blood and the name by which he is called is the word of God John 1:4 he is the word of God became flesh and the armies of heaven arrayed in fine linen white and impure talking about the believers that come back white and pure were following him on white horses so if you're a believer and you're following Christ and you will come back to this very spot with Christ riding a white horse along with him and it says from his mouth comes a sharp sword with which he will strike down the nation's and he will rule them with a rod of iron he will tread he will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty so when he comes back its judgment on the unbeliever and on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written king of kings and Lord of lords so he goes on and he says come gather for the great supper he talks to the bird he says come gather and the armies are gathered together with the kings of the earth to make war against Christ led by the Antichrist and they all gather around to make war against Christ part of them in the valley of Armageddon and the valley of jehoshaphat of the Kidron Valley all around this area the nations are gathered to make war against Christ but he comes back in power and great glory and just absolutely crushes them and it says in verse 20 it says in the Beast was captured and with it the false prophet who and his presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worship His image these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur and the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse and the birds were gorged with their flesh so Christ comes back and judges the unbelievers and Satan and the false prophet and the demons are judged Satan is cast into a bottomless pit and held for a thousand years in also it says that Christ will judge the nation's and he will separate the sheep who are believers from the goats who are unbelievers so that happens right in the Kidron Valley right below this Mount of Olives that were standing on it says in Revelation 14 20s is then I looked and behold a white cloud and seated on the cloud was one like the son of man with a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand and another angel came out of the temple calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud put your foot in your sickle and reap for the hour to reap has come for the harvest of the earth is fully right so what we have is an earth that is moving towards more and more sinfulness evil rejection of Christ immorality murder just absolute chaos and so it says here that now the harvest is right now it's come to a point where God says enough he comes back and he puts in his sickle and he reaps for the hour has come and the harvest of the earth is fully ripe so he who sat on the clouds swung his sickle across the earth and the earth was reaped then another angel came out of the temple in heaven and he too had a sharp sickle and another angel came out from the altar and angel who has authority over the fire and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth or the it's grapes are ripe so the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God and the winepress was trodden outside the city and the blood flowed from the winepress as high as the horse's bridle for 1,600 stadia which is about two hundred miles so what it would do is it all of this takes place this winepress is right in the the bottom of the Kidron Valley in between the Mount of Olives and the Temple Mount the old city of Jerusalem so that's where the winepress is that in fact that's where the Garden of Gethsemane is and that's where an Olive Press was that's where Christ's sweat great drops of blood so in that same Kidron Valley is where this judgment takes place and this wine press happens and it says the blood runs out of this area for two hundred miles so it will go down towards Jericho it will go east towards the Dead Sea and then run south down to the Red Sea so that would be 200 miles so it goes down and then it goes south east and then south so 200 miles up to the horses bridles the blood runs so it is an absolute horrendous site where I say the nation's are gathered together in this winepress of God's judgment upon them so this the judgment on unbelievers will be severe and here's just a partial glimpse of what it will be like in Zechariah 14:12 it just gives us a glimpse it says and this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem on that their flesh will rot while they are standing on their feet their eyes will rot in their sockets and their tongues will rot in their mouths so in this winepress it's almost like they just dissolved they're just absolutely crushed and then the goats go into the lake of fire so they're there their bodies are rotted and consumed the blood runs out but their spirit and their soul then goes into the lake of fire and then the believers who come back with Christ and their supernatural bodies and reign with him for a thousand years they come back on the white horses and they will reign with Christ right here from Jerusalem for a thousand years and then that those that they receive Christ during the tribulation those are the sheep they will go into the millennial reign in their natural bodies and then Christ will reign over the earth for a thousand years and people that went in in their natural bodies into the new millennial reign then they will populate the earth once again and then at the end of the thousand years then they rebel against God he wipes them out and then he cast Satan into the lake of fire forever so what can we observe about what has taken place right here every being that has ever been created will see Christ's return in power and great glory so revelation 1:7 so in Christ's second coming every being that has ever been created I believe even the demons all the demonic world Satan everyone in Hell there won't be one being rational being who has ever been created that will not witness Christ's second coming and it will be in power and great glory it says at that time that Christ returns in his return he he conquers and he flips evil that's where evil is conquered and now it is submitted to Christ and he rules with the rod of iron and a christ coming will be in power and great glory as we said the Sun will be darkened the moon won't give its light the Stars will fall and the heavenly bodies will be shaken that says as the as a lightning flashes from the east to west then shall this the appearing of the Son of man be so everything will be dark shaking and brilliant ray of glory as lightning had just traced presents just lights up the whole universe and he comes back in power and great glory and we who are believers along with him writing white horses so believers and angels will return with Christ and then Christ will judge all of the nations in the in the Kidron Valley or the valley of jehoshaphat he will return right here on this place this is the highest place on the Mount of Olives so right here is where he ascended and this right here is where he will return in power and great glory the mountain will split in two and it's just absolutely incredible it just makes me shudder to think that I am standing right here in this place and one day I will return with him in the clouds of heaven and touch back right here with my glorified body right here on the Mount of Olives so you know this makes me ask myself some questions I really have to ponder this reality am i living in devoted life am i living a life that it's really serious about following Christ am i a real true disciple of Christ who's not following my culture but I am really locked in to following Christ am i watchful and Randy Christ had to be watchful and ready for you don't know the hour day or the hour and so it just makes me reflect and kind of really pause about my life and hopefully maybe you as well so anyway a fascinating place that one of my favorites in all of Jerusalem because so much happens right here so I hope that you've enjoyed this a video god bless you and thanks for watching
