MY APOLOGIES THAT THIS VIDEO IS LATE. It was ready to go at 7:20 am this morning. It is important to me to get these shows to you on time. And this one was very much on time. YouTube gave me the usual message, "processing will begin shortly," and "shortly" usually means within minutes. This morning, "shortly" took on a new meaning. (They must have "spiritualized" it.) When I left to go on my 8-mile run at 7:30, the notification still said, "processing will begin shortly," and I still trusted that "shortly." That was a mistake. Two-hours later (I kept checking the progress during my run), it still wasn't processed.

So now, two hours later, I'm home, and I'm re-uploading. Looks like this time is the charm. If I could have re-uploaded from the road, I would have. But the file for upload was on my desktop. Anyway, it's always a God thing. But still, sorry this is late. Here's the proper description:

I have seen it for year from the "Kingdom/Overcomer/Israel-Wannabe" people: they can't see how the snatching away of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 fits with the 144,000 Israelites being sealed in the book of Revelation to go through the Tribulation, and so they "spiritualize" the snatching away (that's what THEY call it; they basically turn it into an allegory and invent their own interpretation) until it doesn't mean what it clearly says it means. Why don't they "spiritualize" the overcomer passages instead? Because they are a fleshly people who want to impress God with the endurance.

If these people could realize there are two gospels in the so-called New Testament (Peter's gospel to Israel and Paul's to the nations), their interpretive problems would be solved, but this is a stubborn people that hates—and, basically, is incapable of—the intellect required to distinguish one gospel from another. They believe intellect and logic to be "unspiritual." They prefer to "flow in the spirit," which is their way of saying, "make up allegories for Scripture passages we don't understand."

When one seeks to "spiritualize" the Word, one assumes that the Word itself is not spiritual. This is just the first of many mistakes made by folks who consider themselves occupying the heights of spiritual insight but, by ignoring the most important rule of Scriptural interpretation, namely, "Literal if possible," are in fact plumbing the depths of corrupting God's revelation.
