Calvary Chapel of San Antonio

"Our first warning in this book was a warning against drifting away in chapter 2. We end (in this study) with our final warning, a warning against refusing God. That’s always the final destination of people who allow themselves to drift away from God."

"You will remember from our study in Luke 4 that following Jesus being tempted in

the wilderness by the devil, He went to His hometown of Nazareth and went, as was His custom, directly into the synagogue. As a visiting rabbi, He would be given the

opportunity to read from the Scriptures and this is the one He chose… But He didn’t read all of it. He stopped right here (in the middle of v.2), and it is VERY important that He did."

Note: May's teaching begins at the 5:40 min mark on the full video. Teaching only video to follow later.

"It’s necessary then that we understand that Jesus deals with Israel’s future as it relates to the great tribulation—the time the OT refers to as the time of Jacob’s trouble. It is the final 7-year period of history where God once again returns to dealing with the nation of Israel after the church has been taken away to be with Him. We at CC believe (the Bible teaches) that the rapture of the church is imminent (could happen any moment) and that event will usher in the 7-year tribulation. At the end of the 7 years, Jesus returns (with us) to establish His kingdom here on earth… Through v19, (today’s focus) He deals with the first half of the great tribulation."
