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 11 I discuss Daniel 12:5-7; Revelation 12:9-17; Revelation 13:4-10. I comment on John Wesley founder of the Methodist Church states that we will go through the Tribulation Period Sermon 15,”The Great Assize”
Some of the verses/writings that I use: Daniel 12:5-7; 2 Thess. 2;
In 1 Thess. 4:13-17, Paul answers their question about the dead, those that are asleep.
Note once again in verse 17 the word ‘air’. In the Greek this word is ‘ah-ayr’ NOT ‘oo-ran-os’ as in Matthew 6:26. BIG difference in the Greek manuscripts! Keep in mind that Paul was under the influence of the Holy Spirit, so Paul was NOT talking about a meeting in the sky!
Verses That I read in this study: Amos (Burden) 3:1-7 (In this verse 1 we see that Hebrew word ‘eth” aleph/tav); Jeremiah (Whom Yahweh raises up or launches forth) 30:1-7; Ephesians 6:10-19
Note the ‘eth’ in Amos 3:1-2
Amo 3:1 Hear H8085 (H853) this H2088 word H1697 that H834 the LORD H3068 hath spoken H1696 against H5921 you, O children H1121 of Israel, H3478 against H5921 the whole H3605 family H4940 which H834 I brought up H5927 from the land H4480 H776 of Egypt, H4714 saying, H559
Amo 3:2 You only H7535 have I known H3045 of all H4480 H3605 the families H4940 of the earth: H127 therefore H5921 H3651 I will punish H6485 H5921 you (H853) for all H3605 your iniquities. H5771
Note the ‘eth’ in Daniel 12:7
Dan 12:7 And I heard H8085 (H853) the man H376 clothed H3847 in linen, H906 which H834 was upon H4480 H4605 the waters H4325 of the river, H2975 when he held up H7311 his right hand H3225 and his left hand H8040 unto H413 heaven, H8064 and sware H7650 by him that liveth H2416 for ever H5769 that H3588 it shall be for a time, H4150 times, H4150 and an half; H2677 and when he shall have accomplished H3615 to scatter H5310 the power H3027 of the holy H6944 people, H5971 all H3605 these H428 things shall be finished. H3615
Let’s take a look at the Hebrew Letters Aleph and Tav:
Aleph = The original pictograph for this letter is a picture of an ox head representing strength and power from the work performed by the animal. This pictograph also represents a chief or other leader. When two oxen are yoked together for pulling a wagon or plow, one is the older and more experienced one who leads the other. Within the clan, tribe or family the .chief or father is seen as the elder who is yoked to the others as the leader and teacher.
Tav = The Ancient picture is a type of "mark", probably of two sticks crossed to mark a place similar to the Egyptian hieroglyph of, a picture of two crossed sticks. This letter has the meanings of mark, sign or signature.
What great leader do you know that hung on 2 sticks CROSSED?
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.’
