SermonIndex is not just a website but really has become a movement of believers seeking the ‘old paths’ (Jeremiah 6:16). This journey of faith weaves through the current state of evangelical Christianity and the passionate preaching of many godly ministers in our day. Many are seeking authenticity, reality and sincerity in the Christian faith. In a day when popular preachers are telling lies (Jeremiah 5:30-31), there is a great renewed desire to find the real Jesus in the midst of the counterfeit. SermonIndex has been able to archive many of the best preaching messages given in the last 50 years in audio mp3 form, as well as digging into the history of the Church and archiving many of the encouraging text messages [support us] /> #Jesus #Sermons #Sermon

Would Jesus approve of the Pope? Absolutely not
Lol
No he's the false prophet
Agree! The pope is called ”Father” by the Catholics. We have ONLY one Father according to the Bible!!
Mathew 23:9!
thank you
These people humans are not even human I don’t believe they’re human and I’ll never have been no you’re teaching is very good very good new dinnerware of everything pretty much use it for a long time and they still are hurting the babies the kids and we just watch them
Don't know for sure but he's really really working on it!
If you read the Bible then you would clearly know not to be a Catholic.
And the beast had a head that was wounded unto death, and yet lived. That is Israel itself and the AC has to be a jew.
We are teaching all this things for unbelievers to know after the believers are Raptured. Because me, I believed Christ%. So I will not go through the great tribulation that will soon happen on this planet earth. 1 John 2:17-19 The Antichrist his spirit it's already in the world long years ago. But their leader to come, the man with sin. who will gather all the world to rule his kingdom. that is Antichrist kingdom that will lead them to distraction. Please Christ is the Alpha and Omega the Almighty. He will come first. Christ is the Word of God who created all creatures and created things. Christ will come for those who believe in Him first. Before Christ allowed satan to come and punish his own people the unbelievers. But the lawless one will be a group of Roman empires. Thanx
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE….WHO IS RIGHT AND WHO IS WRONG…CAUSE IF YOU READ REVELATION IT SAYS " HERE IS WISDOM FROM THE SAINTS " IF ALL THE SAINTS ARE RAPTURED AND THERE'S NO BELIEVERS LEFT WHO IS THE SAINTS IN REVELATION??? Rev.12 V 7 WHAT ABOUT MATTHEW 24 V 22 – 24? 'AND IF THOSE DAYS HAD NOT BEEN SHORTENED, NO HUMAN BEING WOULD ENDURE AND SURVIVE; BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE ELECT THOSE DAYS WILL BE SHORTENED "
BELIEVE ME HERE IN OUR COUNTRY IS ALSO PEOPLE WHO PREACHED BUT WHAT IS THE TRUTH??? SOME PASTORS SAYS THEY DON'T NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE ENDTIMES OR THE MARK OF THE BEAST BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT BE HERE WHEN IT'S IMPLEMENTED!!
Is your church, one of the many branches living on a single Vine , a single body of Christ?; if so, will you please preach to edify your congregation according to John 15 4?
Some thoughts on the Restrainer of 2 Thes 2.
Everything you've ever been taught will likely contradict what Im about to say, it took me 28 years to finally come to see this, now I just can't unsee it….
2 Thes 2v7…
"….Now he who restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way"
Some translations say "restrain >him<" or "restains >it< or restrains >evil<". That is only because translators have struggled with this verse. The "it", "him", "evil" etc should not be there.
We often approach this subject with the presupposition of "restrainer of anti-christ", "restrainer of evil" in mind.
Scripture actually doesn't use this term, it comes from that pesky added "it", "him", "evil" that creates a paradign shift.
As the old saying goes, "what a difference a day makes", or in this case what an incredible difference a tiny "it" or "him" or "evil" makes.
Berean Literal Bible…
And now you know that which is restraining for his being revealed in his time.
(No 'it' or 'him' etc)
New King James Version…
And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.
(No 'it' or 'him' etc)
New American Standard Bible…
And you know what restrains >>him<< now, so that he will be revealed in his time.
(Ah – here we see the Paradign shifting "him")
So I see that added "him" that added "it" etc like points on a railway track really, something tiny but entirely capable of shunting the whole train (of thought) on to a different track. And that's clearly what it does.
Moving on…
Scripture doesn't explicitly state either that this mystery "restrainer" is the Holy Spirit, Church or Michael or Rome etc. All these views are of course quite widely held by believers and indicates the manifold confusion that exists surrounding this passage.
So here goes…
In Daniel 10, Daniel prays and he is heard immediately and the Angel is sent forth at once but the fallen demonic powers in the heavenlies resist and restrain the Angel for 21 days until Michael intervenes.
In Revelation 12v7-9 we see Michael again casting down Satan and the demonic powers to earth. We are told exactly when this happens i.e. at the 1260 days (final 3 1/2 year) point. Directly following this explusion we see this in the very next verse…
10 THEN I heard a loud voice in heaven say NOW have come the >>SALVATION<< and the >>POWER<< and the >>KINGDOM OF OUR GOD<< and the >>AUTHORITY OF HIS MESSIAH<< for the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down (taken out of the way).
WOW – this is unpresedented – like pentecost on Sterouds, could this be the latter rain event?
i.e. Satan, the restrainer in the heavenlies of Gods Salvation, Power, Kingdom and Authority is now cast out and down from his restraining place and hurled down to earth.
As stated, this happens clearly at the 3 1/2 year point, in conjunction with this we see the beast receiving a mortal wound in Rev 13v3 but coming back to life again and the whole world marvelling at this, he then sets off on his 42 month (3 1/2 year reign of terror).
So as Satan is cast down by Michael exactly at the 3 1/2 year point this dovetails in perfect concert with the beast (human) dying (mortal wound) then coming back to life. I think its plain Satan is now permitted or perhaps even forced to take up residence in this mans body.
So what we now see is the full incarnation of Satan in bodily form.
We saw "The Mystery of Godliness" in the incarnation of God in bodily form in the person of Jesus. now we see "The Mystery of Iniquity", the full incarnation of Satan in bodily form.
Astonishingly there is divine symmetry here. Both "mysteries" commence their "ministry" in a death and ressurection (Jesus baptism by John), both have exactly 3 1/2 years. The Genesis prophetic opener of "the seed of the woman" and "the seed of the serpent" has now fully come into view.
Keep in mind also Michael appears in Jude where he contends with Satan over Moses body. Why would Satan want access to Moses body? As Derek Prince states demons are personalities without a body. Speculating, but did he want to incarnate Moses body to then profoundly decieve the Israelies? God did not permit it then, but does He permit it, even orchestrate it, at the 3 1/2 year point?
So "the lawless one will be revealed". I.e. Satan is forced down and out of the heavenly sphere to take up residence in a mans dead body. Hes now exposed and confined into a human body and is FURIOUS >>knowing<< his time is short.
So for me this raises a fundamental question. The presupposition amongst much of what calls itself church in relation to 2 Thes 2 is that Satan >>wants<< to take the stage, that he >>wants<< to take over, that "good" in the form of the Holy Spirit OR the Church OR Rome OR Michael is restraining him.
So Does satan >>really<< want this to happen?
Mathew 8v29…
"What do you want with us, Son of God?" they shouted. "Have you come here to >>torture<< us before the >>appointed time<<?"
Satan is in a rage, >>knowing his time is short<<, knowing only eternal torture and torment awaits him.
I see it like the mafia in a city where the forces of law and order are finally and relentlessly closing in. They were happy to be incognito and pulling the strings in the dark but now they know their time is soon up and they are being forced out into the open and to pending and ultimate justice.
Or like a desperate death row prisoner who knows his time of execution is fast approaching.
In both these instances its the last thing they want and a trully desperate fight will ensue. And so we have the end times. A desperate and dark kingdom is coming to be exposed and ultimately judged and it well knows it. Like a cornered pack of rabid hyenas the final expulsion will be vicious and brutal.
In closing. If the mystery restrainer is not Satan then who is it? From whatever angle I look at this now nothing fits better or makes more sense. I just can't "unsee" it.
Obviously the pre-trib camp uses thus passage to bolster their early rapture view but its a doctrine based entirely on inference (thats another story).
In closing, Scripture makes plain this displacement, this 'takung out of the way' event happens at the 3 1/2 year point so a completely "Open Heaven" is there now for the Saints, the restraning demonic forces are out of the way and unpresedented Power, Salvation and Authority is now made available. It will truly be the Church's finest hour.
So considering now the same verse…
2 Thes 2v7…
….Now he (satan) who restrains (Gods Power, Salvation, Kingdom and Authority in the heavenlies) will do so >>until<< he (satan) is taken (literally forced) out of the way (by Michael in the midst of the final week).
So instead of "Good restraining the Evil" its in effect "Evil restraning the Good" until Michael casts the Evil restrainer down and out at the 3 1/2 years point and an unpresedented release of Gods Spirit and Power is released.
So this truly turns everying on its head.
As I said at the offset, this view will likely blow all your fuses, it did mine. Its easy to dismiss as it goes against the grain on nigh on all thats been taught on it. I just humble ask you prayerfully consider it.
For more on this id recommend Reggie Kelly explaining his take on this. Search "Mystery of Iniquity Reggie Kelly".
What if Pope Francis would die in this week ? your expectation will be water downed
I also don’t believe that the Pope is the AC. Nor do I think that he will be a muslim. But, showing what he is NOT is not the same as showing what he IS. My own view is that, given the information the bible provides, the best we can surmise is that he will arise from somewhere within what was the Roman Empire and will put forward himself ‘in place of Christ’. I believe , in order to do this, he would have to be an apostate Christian. But I may be wrong. Point is, if you state that the AC will definitely be a Syrian ( or Assyrian) and that he will definitely have no religion, then you have surely done the same thing that you accuse others of? You have led people to expect an AC with a very definite kind of religious ( or non religious) kind of background. I believe that Antiochus is a foreshadow of the character of the AC ( like Judas) but not necessarily a foreshadow of the ethnicity or citizenship. You may be right , and you may strongly believe it , but you can’t, in my opinion, based on your interpretation of the biblical passages, be dogmatic about these things.
Yes, the pope is a type of antichrist.
Evangelicals take the bible literally, except for what Jesus preached. What Jesus said is the only thing they dont take literally. As an evangelical you must ignore how Jesus said God demands good works or you will go to hell. The idea that faith must actually be practiced thru action really sets them off. The totally reject Matthew 25:31-46 and everything Jesus said about what God expects of you.
