Rethinking The End By Going Back to the Beginning | God With Us (Part 1)

- God With Us: Rethinking the End by Going Back to the Beginning invites believers to rediscover the hope-filled vision of God’s Kingdom—not as something far off in the future, but as a present and advancing reality. Too often, end-times theology has left Christians waiting for escape instead of living with Kingdom authority. This series asks hard questions: If Christ reigns, why does the world seem to be going downhill? Why doesn’t it look like the Kingdom is advancing? Could it be that what we believe about the "end" has shaped how we live in the present? With fresh insight and biblical clarity, God With Us offers a victorious perspective—reminding us that Jesus has already won, His Kingdom is here, and our calling is to join Him in bringing heaven to earth.

- “It's very difficult for people in the rest of the world to understand where Americans are coming from. And that's not surprising because the narrative that so many Americans have got in their heads from Late Great Planet Earth or wherever, is simply not in the Bible. Really, the only passage that people can use to promote the idea of a Rapture is that passage in Thessalonians. People used to sometimes use the verse in the Olivet Discourse where there'll be two in a field, and one will be taken and one will be left. And so, the idea was that the people that were taken were raptured, and the people who were left were left behind, right? Most dispensationalists don't use that verse anymore because they know. You just read a couple of verses later, and you realize that the ones that are taken, Jesus says are being taken away for judgment. The ones that are left behind are the lucky ones because Jesus told the parable about how the angels will come and remove all that is ungodly, and then the sons of the kingdom will be left behind to shine like the stars of heaven, right?”

- “We should believe that Jesus is already lord. He's seated at the right hand of the father right now, reigning over all creation and is head of his church, and he promised that His kingdom would grow and advance until it filled the whole earth, and then He would return for a glorious church without spot or wrinkle.”
- “Kingdom of God 1.0 in the Bible, it's in the first couple of chapters of Genesis. God created the world and put a man and a woman in there as his image bearers in the earth who were created to be connected to Him, connected to his life and to his being and be his image bearers and carry out his plans and purposes in the world. That was the kingdom of God on earth in that moment. Well, we know that plan went off the rails. So God sent a second and final Adam so that, once again, with the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, God would have people who are connected to him, connected to his life, communing and fellowshipping with him, being his image bearers in the earth and partners in carrying out his plans and purposes in the earth. Once you understand that, all the other logical conclusions about eschatology follow, but where you start is the understanding that the kingdom of god on earth began when Jesus poured out the Holy Spirit, filled men and women, mortal men and women like you and me with his own life and being in the form of the Holy Spirit so that we could do what he has called us to do in the world. Jesus, the lord of creation and the head of the church, is advancing his kingdom and building his church until all of his enemies are a footstool for his feet and his church is a glorious bride, and then he shall return.”
Bad Theology: Israel, the "Rapture," and the End Times
Nov 3, 2023
Millions of American Christians have come to believe in a heterodox theology according to which the physical return of the Jewish people to their ancestral lands is necessary to bring about the return of Christ and the end of the world. Furthermore, during the tribulation that will ensue, believers in this theology will be "raptured" into heaven and spared the unspeakable terrors that will then afflict the human race. This theological opinion would have been news to Augustine and St. Thomas, not to mention Martin Luther and the Protestant movement. Brent McGuire, senior pastor at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Dallas, sets the record straight.

He looks at the passages often used to support the Rapture, Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 4, and unpacks what they actually reveal about Christ’s return and why it's time for the Rapture to be left behind.

The Origins of the Rapture

The Rapture: The belief that Jesus will remove all true Christians from the Earth prior to the end of the world and establishment of his kingdom. The belief is mostly found among American Evangelicals and is part of the larger theological framework called Dispensational Premillennialism. But where did this belief come from?

The Lordship of Jesus
Is there a difference between being saved (converted) versus living in the kingdom of Jesus (lordship, discipleship)?
