There's no such thing as the "end times," so yeah.

for all the TFF fans, pay no attention to the cradle or the grave.
@n9wff Says:
I think it strange so many are waiting to go to heaven and not much on knowing God here and showing Him to a lost world.
Others wait for the Second Coming.
@Taterstiltskin Says:
absolutely obsessed some are, and with something that isn't even found in Scripture, but based on a misunderstanding of the olivet discourse and the invention of the "rapture" by john nelson darby in the late 1800's. briefly, historically the Christian understanding is that the tribulation took place in AD 70, and that being caught up with the Lord in the air occurs at His triumphal second coming, we meet up with the Lord who is descending with armies of angels as a warring party to cleanse the earth of the wicked. as Jesus compares it to the days of Noah, the wicked are removed. we aren't taken from the earth, no, the meek inherit it.
further, Christians are the true Israelites, grafted into the vine as many of the former are cut off. we have nothing to do with the country israel, nor the people within it's borders. you can and should pray for israel and it's people exactly the same as you pray for gaza or russia or china or africa or the US or vatican city (ahem) and all the people within, all with equal weight. my own pastor is caught up in this nonsense. boggles the mind sometimes. yes we should pray for those cut off, so that they may be grafted in again, but this is no different or carries no unequal weight than praying as we pray for others who were never of the vine in the first place.
let's be about the work of the Lord right here, right now, as He commands to go into the world proclaiming the Gospel and making disciples instead of stop being lazy waiting on him to be like calgon and take you away, lest you find you are neither hot nor cold but good for nothing and spit out of His mouth.
@bryank53 Says:
It says to keep a watchful eye for His return
Yes, you need to prepare for The Tribulation Period..no one knows that day or hour Christ will Rapture us when we least expect it. He'll come like a thief in the night.
@billsalcido7878 Says:
Yea, I think some people are. Times are crazy but people thought we were at the end before and they were wrong.
@dustyk103 Says:
I have read throughout history people predicting events being the “End Times.” This has bred complacency by good people to let evil overcome them rather than fighting back.
@brianmatthews4323 Says:
It is obvious to me that we are living in the End Times, but I don't try to parse and game out every single event. I freely admit that much of prophetic scripture is Greek to me.
I know and understand just enough to know and understand that something extraordinary is happening, and that the end is near. But I also subscribe to the idea that we have been actually living in the End Times for around 2000 years, and that, now, we are in the last days of the Last Days.
I have also said many times to scoffers that no matter your beliefs or eschatology, we are ALL living in our own PERSONAL End Times.
@matthewgray713 Says:
Yes we should never make predictions but we are told to stay alert and to keep watch. To make sure we have enough oil in our lamps and to keep the lamps burning. Luke 21: 28, NKJV. “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” Seeing the signs should tell us as believers that there is a sense of urgency about preaching the Gospel. Because the harvest is ripe but the labourers are few. Pastors and churches should also not shy away from speaking about Bible prophecy. The Bible contains 30% prophecy so it's significant and it's also evidence that the Word of God is the Devinely inspired Word of God. Prophecy fulfilment is evidence for God.
@Robert-r4s4c Says:
You can blame the rapture for their preoccupation with end times.
@Supman1 Says:
It can be interesting to talk about, but also don't let it consume you. I don't try to think about it much, since we don't know the hour or the day of when He comes back. It can even be considered selfish for a person hope that Jesus comes back during their lifetime. They can becoming lazy and not keeping their focus on are biggest mandate as Christian (the Great Commission). Which is for us to create disciples to create disciples and to proselytize and proselytize well.

I think alot of you are more obsessed then Christian's. You even seem to be confused between obsessed and panic.
@nomdeguerre8464 Says:
Sigh. "Bless those that bless Israel."
One of the most overused out-of-context verses in the entire Bible.
Did you read the NT, Frank?
@tomvela77 Says:
Thank you for the video!
Technically, the Jews knew exactly when Messiah would come. Daniel 9:25. The wise men even educated Herod on His arrival in Matthew 2. They knew because of Isaiah 60:3,6. The Jews knew and rejected Him openly.
We should never be consumed with prophesy more than our relationship with Christ. We do need to be aware of it though as it only strengthens our faith, comforts us, and helps others find Jesus.
There is also a blessing promised for those who are watching for Jesus;
Luke 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
Jesus is coming soon, and yes, we need to be ready. Pray for Israel, and pray for the lost. Time is very short. See you in the clouds!
@JesusIsKing-p5x Says:
Obsessed?? We are supposed to be prepared for our Lord's return at any moments notice. We don't want to miss the boat
@Paulthored Says:
Jesus could come back... any time, any day.
Beyond that is less clear.
@arcguardian Says:
All believers are ready, but not all are busy. Let's get busy folks, like there's no tomorrow.
@Robyn-l7v Says:
The signs of the end times are in the bible. Open up the bible read study. Stop trolling and trying to throw in your 2 cents. Obviously you have no clue what you talk about.
@DrunkChristian0311 Says:

@joshuakohlmann9731 Says:
TOO obsessed? As opposed to just obsessed enough? We shouldn't give a damn about any "end times", but focus on this life. Jesus said God is not a god of the dead, but of the living.
@ungmd21 Says:
Just watch and be ready. Assume the Lord could return at any time
@anwwarren720 Says:
Thank you Frank. I often hear more about end times, rapture, Antichrist, Christ's return etc. than I do about a knowing Christ and reaching the lost.
@matthewvandyk7773 Says:
I know way to many Christians that th8nk way to much about the end times that they have forgotten or given up on the next generation. It makes me angry. We are ready to abandon the youth and nexr generation. My church has over 300 kids in jr youth alone and not enough leaders stepping up.
@CClipso-u7c Says:
BEEN waiting awhile and you know we are going home to DAD (GOD) and JESUS SO looking forward to the end yeah and if you're not sick of all evil in the world why ? there's a lot of sadness around the world and in HEAVEN there's only going to be love and peace and no more sorrow (HEART ACHE) you know PEACE, PEACE OF MIND, JOY, HAPPYNESS NO MORE DEATH OF Family ever again for ever and ever and to the rest of the world the secret is keep banging the rocks together if you get my jist, jest, anyhow praise GOD always amen cheers
@pruebarratt3085 Says:
Wow so "i am a preacher but i am not a prophecy guy" 🤯 something like 2 3rds of the Bible is prophecy!!! This is the problem with the church rite there.
@jeremyallen9624 Says:
I think people just want to see proof that their faith is justified. They want to see prophecy become flesh so they know they chose correctly. Faith is one thing. Knowledge is an entirely different matter.
@Christmas-dg5xc Says:
I prophecied that we'd still be here in 2024, and it happened. Behold...
@Christmas-dg5xc Says:
Rapture watching makes losing feel like winning, irreponsibility feel like responsibility, laziness feel like holiness, etc. Excuses are so much easier than rebiulding scoiety.
@tedtuttle6527 Says:
AMEN AMEN & AMEN!!!
@davidgriffore9443 Says:
He's not a prophetic type preacher? Really? Let's have some fun with that....
I'm not a loving type husband.....
I'm not forgiving, type Christian.....
I'm not a studious type Bible teacher....
I'm not a cleaning type janitor....
I'm not a prescription believing type ER doctor....
Pastor? Frank? This whole "focus on my Jesus relationship argument" is exactly what the world wants. It's so narcissistic. So self-serving. If he isn't a prophecy type preacher, that's like an MLB player declaring he isn't a hitting type batter.
Good grief already 😑

@noalliances Says:
Why yes American evangelicals are obsessed with a false eschatology called dispensationlism
@williamlugmayer3429 Says:
The majority of "Christianity" is amillennial, post-tribulation in their eschatology or end times belief. There is a growing interest in kingdom now and NAR movement thinking that the Christians need to christianize the world before Jesus can come back. The Bible shows a different outcome, one where if JESUS CHRIST doesn't come when HE does, then no life would remain on the earth. Buckle up, the ride is going to get bumpy.
@ricknewton459 Says:
As some one has has had a very hard life with issues, Jesus is all I look forward too. Not in heaven but right now, with Jesus everyday. Heaven will come soon enough with me dying or His Glorious return. You can have the world, Just give me Jesus.
@patrickgoodman4576 Says:
Yea lol. I honestly think were (most people ) are not gonna know when the Antichrist will appear because the scriptures say that He will deceive even the elect. So….🤷♀️

Hello Jesus would tell you to get right with God the Father.
He states it many times. No one is good but God these are words from Jesus himself. What is Jesus date this because he's showing you the difference between God and you and image of God. Was showing it to show us how to be perfect as an image of God.
Matthew 5
@jeremyringkamp2490 Says:
I don't know why people call them end times.
Read the book of Revelations. Nothing is ending at that time you go to the millennial Kingdom. So it's not in times you be reigning with Jesus in the millennial Kingdom
@steveindorset Says:
I totally agree with him, the church is obsessed with the end times, Trump, the election, prosperity, what the “elites” are going to do next etc. Anything bar getting to know Jesus and the great commission He left us.
@mick20075 Says:
Cowards hate truth
Yes cause of fear 😂😂
These so called christians ignore the 5th seal extermination of christians 👍🏻
They didnt care when people dont mention end times
Let that sink in cause most are fake christians especially white people 😂😂😂😂 white people mainly athiest thanks to hitler and our leaders and us people that sit back and do nothing to stop it 👍🏻
@matthewdejoseph5557 Says:
Love this!
@pastelbow-s2l Says:
The wicked servant in the parable did his works out of fear and was not honoured when the king returned. I feel that so many believers miss this.
The bible tells us not to fret the same way the world does when these things begin to happen. It is our connection to the Father through spending ample time in His presence that will save us. And an extention of His pure love to the world - not condemnation - that will save them. I pray believers will begin to see this and stop obsessing and fretting over these things throwing Gods peace and hope out the window...
@junacebedo888 Says:
Book of Revelations is very puzzling . It says there will be hailstones weighing 40 kilos. Google search the heaviest hailstone - the answer is only 0.88kg. LESS than one kilo!!!
@Marcelino1098 Says:
Truth on both views and questions. We should be ready, but also it's good to recognize these events. They are written in the Bible for a reason. It's also to tell non believers look this is happening, it's prophicied. Do you believe now? It helps strenghten the foundations of the Bible. And remember, if the rapture does not happen pre tribulation we will see all these events come to pass and be like look it's true. Also most churches don't ever talk about end times because it's uncomfortable and scary for them. The church and pastors have to prepare the people for whatever is going to happen!
@suekeith Says:
I typically appreciate the skilled answers provided by Frank but this one was terribly off. Gaining understanding of Bible prophecy is tremendously important. Rev 19:10, "... the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." If Frank, and the pastor who asked the question, paid more attention to what Jesus was doing in the gospels, they would notice that Jesus is walking out Daniel's 70th week for us.
These two gentlemen also would have noticed that on Christ's resurrection day, He delivered two Bible prophecy lectures; the first one to the two men on the road to Emmaus and the second to the group in the upper room later that evening. Think about it, our learning Bible prophecy is so important to Jesus, that He was teaching it BEFORE the church was birthed on Pentecost!
A third reason Frank's answer was so unfortunate is because he is unaware of Isaiah 44:7.
A forth reason is because Frank hasn't realized that the nation of Israel was so uneducated about Bible prophecy 2000 years ago, that they missed the time of the Lord's visitation. Every non-believing Jew is still suffering the consequences for not understanding Bible prophecy. Jews are still arguing amongst themselves whether Messiah will come to Jerusalem on a donkey or in the clouds.
The more a Christian learns about how things are going to shake out during Daniel's 70th week, the more our denominational distinctives vanish Gaining an understanding of Bible prophecy actually unifies us. Unfortunately, most Christians are unwilling to stick with the learning curve long enough for their study of Eschatology to do them any good.
