This sermon clarifies the biblical doctrine of the Day of the Lord, correcting the misconception that this period has already begun. The speaker explains that specific prophetic events must occur first, including a widespread apostasy and the revelation of the Antichrist. A key theological point is the role of the Holy Spirit as the Restrainer who holds back evil until the rapture removes believers from the earth. The transcript warns against false teachings and emphasizes that those who reject the truth will face strong delusion during the tribulation. Believers are urged to remain steadfast in Scripture, guarding the truth and practicing it to stay grounded in their faith.

In this message we examine the doctrine of imminence with regard to the coming of Jesus Christ. We show from both the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24 and Paul's writings in 1 Thessalonians 4 and 5 that the rapture and beginning of the day of the Lord is an imminent event that could occur at any time. We discuss how this refutes preterism which claims all these events must have occurred in 70 A.D. Come and hear for yourself how the Olivet Discourse teaches the imminent return of Christ to rapture the church.

What was the first Epistle Apostle Paul wrote? Was it before the Gospels were written? Are you a "pre-trib", "mid-trib" or "post-trib" believer? What does the Bible say? Do get confused when we search for the Tribulation outside of Paul's Epistles? Will the Body of Christ be saved from the wrath? What about these "trumps"? Does 1 Corinthians 15:57 and Revelation 11:15 confuse you? Are we to be looking for Jesus or looking for the antichrist?

Dr. Jon Jacobs challenges the popular doctrine of a secret rapture by analyzing key Greek terms for Christ's return, including parousia, apocalypsis, and epiphaneia. Dr. Jacobs argues that these words consistently point to a single, visible, and glorious second coming rather than two separate events. By examining New Testament passages, the text demonstrates that Christ's return involves the resurrection of believers, final judgment, and the destruction of evil. This emphasizes that signs preceding this event serve to call believers to readiness and vigilance rather than to predict specific timelines. Ultimately, this urges the Christians to live in expectant hope, focusing on the imminent return of Jesus Christ as the central hope of the faith.

The sermon urges believers to actively engage in God's work immediately, drawing from the parable of the vineyard in Matthew 21. It highlights three primary motivations for this urgency: obedience to Christ's command, the severe consequences of neglecting opportunities for evangelism, and the imminent return of Jesus. The speaker warns that failing to serve can result in being set aside by God and losing future rewards at the judgment seat of Christ, rather than losing salvation. Emphasizing the unpredictability of the Rapture and current global signs, the message calls every Christian to respond faithfully to their specific calling without delay.
