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 40 I continue our study in this Matthew 24 verse 28.
28 wheresoever = made up of 2 words hop'-oo = what (-ever) where, that is, at which ever spot: - in what place, where (-as, -soever), whither (+ soever).
eh-an' = a conditional particle; in case that, provided, etc.; often used in connection with other particles to denote indefiniteness or uncertainty:
But the Greek language added the ‘eh-an’ this word means, “if” implying an objective hypothetical possibility.
Carcase = pto'-mah; a ruin, that is, (specifically) lifeless body (corpse, carrion)
Eagles = very interesting word! ah-et-os', From the same as ‘ah-ayr'’; an eagle (from its wind like flight)
Ah-ayr = From aēmi (to breathe unconsciously, that is, respire; by analogy to blow)
Guess who uses this ‘ah-ayr’ in his letters? Paul! That’s right! 1 Thess. 4:17, “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
THE BOOK OF ENOCH CHAPTER 90
1. And I saw till that in this manner thirty-five shepherds undertook the pasturing (of the sheep), and they severally completed their periods as did the first; and others received them into their hands, to pasture them for their period, each shepherd in his own period.
2. And after that I saw in my vision all the birds of heaven coming, the eagles, the vultures, the kites, the ravens; but the eagles led all the birds; and they began to devour those sheep, and to pick out their eyes and to devour their flesh.
3. And the sheep cried out because their flesh was being devoured by the birds, and as for me I looked and lamented in my sleep over that shepherd who pastured the sheep.
4. And I saw until those sheep were devoured by the dogs and eagles and kites, and they left neither flesh nor skin nor sinew remaining on them till only their bones stood there: and their bones too fell to the earth and the sheep became few.
5. And I saw until that twenty-three had undertaken the pasturing and completed in their several periods fifty-eight times.
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.’
