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 27 I continue in Matthew 24 verse 14 and see what Yahshua Messiah has to say to His disciples and most important TO US TODAY!
I go into a rant on some events that are taking place today, as these events are attacking the Gospel of Yahshua Messiah. Example, the Pope Francis calling for a Global One World Government. Is the Pope a Socialist?
14 gospel of the kingdom = To Abraham and his seed was the good news proclaimed, and the promise given that Yahweh would make of him a nation in whom all the families of the earth should be blessed (Gen. 12:1-3). This good news was gradually expanded and developed. In Gen. 15:4 the heir was announced, and this heir was to be the Messiah (Gal. 3:16). In Gen. 15:8-21 the inheritance was secured by an unconditional promise (not by a covenant between two parties, one of whom might break it, Gal. 3:18-20). That inheritance was (and is yet to be) "the Holy Land", "Immanuel's Land" (Isa. 8:8), Immanuel Himself being the Governor (Isa. 9:6-7), and "the zeal of Yahweh of hosts" its security.
15 the abomination of desolation - The abomination of desolation is a Hebrew term that many Christians don’t understand. It is defined by the placing of an idol to worship in place of YAHWEH, which is set up in the Holy of Holies on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The final setting up of an idol will take place in the future when the antichrist, the man of sin, will declare himself Yahweh in the rebuilt temple, placing himself up as an idol and demanding worship from the world.
As we can see from this verse 15, to understand the abomination of desolation, we must jump into the Old Testament. Where did Daniel speak of the abomination of desolation?
Has it happened before?
The abomination of desolation is an act of defiance against Yahweh for the sole purpose of desolating Yahweh’s temple and hatred of His chosen people. Then, to set up an idol for worship in the Holy of Holies is defying Yahweh and the first commandment.
There are also some events that will transpire in relation to the abomination of desolation.
From these scriptures, it is pretty clear what the abomination of desolation is. It is tied to a specific time when the man of sin declares himself Yahweh in the rebuilt Jewish temple on the Temple Mount, the Holy of Holies. It is also shown to be one of the precursors to Yahshua Messiah’s coming to collect His bride, the church, in the ‘harpazo’. The time around this event is chaotic and deadly for those in Judea.
In this Chapter Yahshua Messiah will discuss with His disciples, His return for His bride. This Chapter goes in hand with those 7 events of Rev. 6. Events that we shall see and understand that lead to His return. Many Churches teach this chapter as the pre-tribulation rapture event. But we shall find out, there is no such thing as flying away, as described by Ezekiel Chapter 13. We also shall learn of the Parable of the Fig Tree and how this Parable unfolded itself in our generation. We shall pin point events that took place like, ‘The Days of Noah’, just what really happen back then!
