What The Bible REALLY Says, Episode 4

FINAL EPISODE: The (False) Doctrine of Imminence

This week (November 3) on Shabbat Night Live, churches all over the world teach that the Messiah could return at any moment — but can he? Is there any proof of this at all in the Bible? Furthermore, do we really understand our part at the resurrection?

Joel Richardson presents a “come to Jesus” moment about the realities of Yeshua’s return and the resurrection of the saints.
