John Rich

And I'm telling you, man, I have had thousands of people online, on social media, hit me up and say, I just read Matthew 24 twice, like you said, and it absolutely says that.

That is just what it says.

I can't believe I ever thought it was different than that.

Like the whole point of it for people that don't know what that is, dispensationalism is basically saying that before the tribulation hits, before things get really, really bad for Christians on the earth, that they will be raptured out of here.

They'll be pulled out before the really bad stuff happens.

And it doesn't say that.

It actually, Jesus lists off all these things that are going to happen prior to his return.

And the wrath that Christians will be living under during the tribulation is the devil's wrath.

We're not spared from the devil's wrath.

We're spared from God's wrath.

And God's wrath is final.

That's when whoever's left at that point gets pulled out and then God pours his wrath out and the whole thing gets wiped out.

And then he rebuilds it and that's a whole other story.

But American Christians and American preachers don't wanna have to think about the fact that they're gonna have to go through something difficult.

Well, I'm sorry.

Why don't you take a little trip around the globe and go meet with some Christians who are literally meeting in caves and in basements of houses, and if they're caught, they're murdered or imprisoned for the rest of their life or chopped up into pieces like what's going on in Syria right now.

Why don't you just hack them up or go down to Africa

where there's Christians in mainly Muslim-dominated countries, and they're actually practicing Christians, you know what happens to them?

They steal all their kids, they hack up all the men and women, and they move on, and that village is just gone.

And you're telling me that fat, lazy American Christians have more of a right to be spared pain
