[Music] the Apostle John is thrown into The Cauldron of boiling oil an unforgettable scene Grace and peace my friend my friend you are on the channel biil stories and in tune with the world knowing that the Lord Jesus performed many miracles and each of them had results I think that not even in the entire world there would be enough space for the books that would be written if you've heard that the Apostle John was thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil and miraculously survived that's right in this video we're going to talk about that event
but before we start the video I will ask you who are not yet subscribed to the channel to subscribe and bless us with your like out of 12 of the Apostles called by Jesus 10 of them died as Martyrs Julius es SC arot the traitor took his own life but the last Apostle to die met a very different fate the Apostle John was one of jesus' closest disciples writer of some of the books of the New Testament John is generally known within the Christian tradition as the Beloved disciple John was the son of Zebedee and
Mary salom his brother James also belonged to the group of 12 disciples of Jesus possibly James was older than John he's always mentioned first in the gospels the Apostle John was a fisherman by profession his father was a prosperous man in the fishing business as he had some employees John would be the youngest of the 12 apostles probably being around 24 years old at the time of Jesus call before becoming one of jesus' disciples the Apostle John was a follower of John the baptizer John had a first encounter with Jesus and after a short time
he became one of his regular disciples some events recorded in the gospels help us understand a little about John's personality character and appearance on one occasion the Lord Jesus called John and James sons of thunder and most likely this designation pointed to the explosive nature of the two brothers it indicates that normally they were men with controlled emotions but in certain situations anger soon manifested itself an example of this can be seen when the inhabitants of a Samaritan Village refused to host Jesus on that occasion the two brothers immediately suggested Lord do you want us
to send fire down from heaven to consume them how he was going at another time someone who did not belong to the group of jesus' 12 Apostles was casting out demons John then went to complain to the master saying we saw one who in your name cast out out demons who does not follow us and we forbade him while such a statement points to a strong temperament it also indicates the deep love and great loyalty that the Apostle John and his brother had for the Lord Jesus this means that no one knew Jesus more than
John he walked with Jesus daily on the great night of the Lord's Supper he was the one who reclined on Jesus chest he personally asked about the identity of the traitor John was entrusted by the Lord Jesus with the greatest number of responsibilities and was present at almost all moments and events narrated in the New Testament we highlight three important occasions in Jesus's Ministry and John was present there first when Jesus resurrected gyrus his daughter second at the time of the Transfiguration and third During the period when Jesus was in Gethsemane furthermore the Evangelist Luke
also informs us that John and Peter were the two people charged by the Lord Jesus with taking care of the preparations for the Passover meal or the Lord's last supper at the moment of the crucifixion the Apostle John is the disciple who appears closest to Jesus on Calvary he also received from Jesus the task of taking care of Mary his mother after Jesus's Ascension John was in Jerusalem in the Assembly of about 120 disciples when Matias was chosen by lot and he was numbered with the other 11 Apostles John was present at the outpouring of
the spirit on the day of Pentecost which resulted in 3,000 people being added to the congregation that day after Steven's death at the hands of the angry Jews great persecution arose against the congregation in Jerusalem and the disciples were scattered but John along with the other Apostles remained in Jerusalem advancing in age we have John who witnessed the crucifixion the ruin of the Majestic Temple and was arrested several times as his preaching converted dozens of people to Christianity but the doctors of the law were increasingly filled with hatred against John for his Fidelity to the
cause of Christ they declared that nothing would Avail against Christians as long as John's testimony sounded in the ears of the people for Jesus's Miracles and teachings to be forgotten John's voice would have to be silenced like the other Apostles John suffered many persecutions during his life for preaching the word of God around the year 81 after Christ the Roman Emperor called to Mission emerged he began to demand worship of his person as God himself this was the first emperor in in an objective way to persecute Christians as those who refused to worship him as
God were flogged imprisoned and killed deitan provoked John to Rome to be judged for his faith before the authorities the apostles virtues were tarnished by false Witnesses who accused him of teaching heresies and being a God for these charges John was arrested and sentenced to death John was taken to the center of the Coliseum where hundreds of people awaited his execution he was thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil but the Lord preserved the life of his faithful servant and not a hair of his was burned in the same way as he preserved the lives
of the three Hebrews in the fiery furnace at that moment the crowd knelt down and gave glory to God the emperor deitan astonished by the great miracle did not dare make a second attempt on Jon's life the hand of pers ution fell again upon the Apostle and by decree of the emperor John was banished to the island of Patmos condemned by because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ some historians argue that Patmos was a prison Island under the rule of the Roman Empire and only the most dangerous prisoners were sent
there in this case it would still serve as a type of Maximum Security Prison at the time prisoners on the island of Patmos were were forced to work exhaustively until they died Jon's enemies thought that his influence would no longer be meaningful and that he would die from deprivation forced labor and suffering but to the servant of God his solitary dwelling became the gate to heaven John had the company of God the Lord Jesus Christ and the Heavenly angels from them he received instructions to transmit to the churches for all time to come after the
death of Emperor Dom John was able to leave the island of Patmos and travel back to Ephesus where he preached until he died of natural causes some writers claim that the Apostle John died at such an old age that in his final days he had to be carried to Christian meetings the attention of many pastors preach about this miracle in The Cauldron of boiling oil but there is no biblical verse that gives us the basis to say that John was thrown into The Cauldron of oil before he was taken to the island of Patmos what
we have in this case is only the tradition of the so-called Church fathers of the time stating this John's story provides us with an illustrative life of how God can use elderly workers John was exiled to the island of Patmos when many considered him an old broken Reed his time of service to the kingdom of God had already passed although banished from the scenes of his daily life he did not fail to Bear witness to the truth even on Patmos he made friends and above all one souls for the kingdom of God and you have
