Have you watched the Before the Wrath movie yet? It did a phenomenal job reconstructing the marriage ceremony. Although I didn't recognize any of the scholar or preacher names, it seemed to be very biblically based and mirrored your message above.

Hi Pastor Jimmy, you have stated on your program that even if a Christian doesn't believe in the rapture he will still be taken up! This man on his the You Tube Channel, claiming to be a Christian made the statement that the rapture cant be found in the Bible and that the Pretribulation Rapture theory is from satin, he called us that believe in the Pretribulation Rapture Exitdis, will he still be taken up?

Pastor Jimmy I have been a Gateway Church member for 10 years and this blog is fantastic!

How do I answer someone who uses Revelation 7:9-14 to say that it proves that Christians will go through the Tribulation? I agree with your interpretation of the Rapture but I don't know how to address this passage with them.

Luke chapter 17 is the clearest text where Jesus describes a pre-judgment rapture. You simply cannot compare a pre-wrath, business as usual world that Jesus describes in Luke 17 with a post tribulation world. And by the way, there is another rapture at the end of the tribulation that Jesus describes in Matthew 24. It is for those saints who were saved during the tribulation. That is what confuses a lot of believers. If you don't understand the difference between Luke 17 and Matthew 24 you think you have to choose one or the other. The best choice is both!

Pastor Jimmy, do you have any teaching on the “nations” and Kings that come into the New Jerusalem. It’s says that the leafs will be for the healing of nations. That they will bring their glory into the City. The scriptures before this says that “cowards, unbelievers, corrupt, murderers, immoral, people who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and liars all have their place in the lake of fire.” But later it says nothing or anyone who practices evil will be allowed in the City. Who are these people? Who lives in those nations? Just didn’t know if you had any revelation on that? Thank you sir for all you’ve done for the Body of Christ and for me and my wife and family personally!
