In this continuing study I take a look at the Rapture Doctrine. Is this a Pre-Trib, as taught in most mainstream Churches are do Christians go through the Tribulation Period? I compare Thessalonians to Matthew 24 along with Revelation. I venture into Paul’s writings to explore what he has to say, along with what Yahweh says in Ezekiel. I also ask the listeners to grab a pencil and paper as we create charts for comparison as we get deeper into this study.
In this Part 28 I continue Revelation Chapter 13.
THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT OF THIS GENERATION! THE MESSIAH IS COMING BACK!
Make no mistake about it. Yahshua Messiahs return will not happen secretly off in some cave with no one knowing about it. Yahshua Messiah will literally come back to the city of Jerusalem, to the top of the Mount of Olives, to begin governing the entire earth! There will be a ‘divine, one-world government.’ What a shock that will be to all humanity!
This event is specifically predicted throughout the Old and New Testament of your Bible. Hundreds of millions of people at least ‘superficially’ believe that the Bible is the inspired word of Yahweh. The Second Coming is predicted in each of the 4 Gospels, in the Book of Acts and in the Epistles of Paul, James, Peter and John. Yahshua Messiahs return is the focal point of the entire book of Revelation. If you believe the Bible is the inspired word of Yahweh, then you ‘must’ believe in the Second Coming of Yahshua Messiah.
You and I can know what the signs are that will precede the Messiah’s coming and watch for them. Why stay ‘in ignorance’ about the meaning of events taking place around you? Yahshua Messiah ‘commands’ His genuine disciples to watch and to be ready. Luke writes is 21:36: “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”
We are no approaching that time and these things are now being revealed. “Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.”
Daniel 12:10
The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John each contain an account of the Messiah teaching His disciples what to watch for before He returns. Once again Luke writes in 21:31-33: ‘So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of Yahweh is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.”
Prophecy foretells that Jerusalem is again to be surrounded by armies (Zechariah 12:2) and an idol will be set up in a holy place. Yahshua Messiah warns those who are faithful to escape quickly when this desecration takes place. In verses 17-18, “Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.” In other words, you are to ‘get out’ immediately when you see this happening, because if you wait, it will be too late to escape safely.
Don’t end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.’
But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’
