Unraveling The Words of Yahweh

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 34 I go back to Matthew 24, verse 20 and see what Yahshua Messiah has to say to His disciples and most important TO US TODAY! I read from 1 John Chapter 2 verses 15-23

20       But pray ye ... = The destruction was certainly coming. It could not be prevented; yet it was right to pray for a reduction of the circumstances, that it might be as mild as possible. So we know that calamity is before us; sickness, pain, bereavement, and death are in our path; yet, though we know that these things must come upon us, it is right to pray that they may come in as mild a manner as may be consistent with the will of Yahweh. We must die, but it is right to pray that the pains of our dying may be neither long nor severe.

flight = foog-ay' ; a fleeing, that is, escape. This would the fleeing in verse16. 

winter = Why? Let me ask you something, when is the harvest season? Is it in the winter months?  They are being harvested out of season. Let us never forget Yahweh’s Holy Days and especially the Feast of Tabernacles!

Sabbath Day = How far could one travel on this day? The Law of Moses did not mention the distance to which persons might go on the Sabbath, but most of the Jews maintained that it should not be more than 2000 cubits. Some supposed that it was 7 furlongs, or nearly a mile. This distance was allowed in order that they might go to their places of worship. Most of them held that it was not lawful to go further, under any circumstances of war or affliction.

21           for then = Yahshua Messiah gives the reason why this sudden flight (verses 16-20) was rendered necessary at the moment spoken of in verse 15.

 shall be, &c. =  Quoted from Daniel 12:1. 

 Great tribulation = also known as “Jacob’s Trouble” Jerm. 30

 Great = ‘meg-as’ great, large, of physical magnitude

 Tribulation = ‘thlip-sis’ pressure, afflicted. Dr. Bullinger translates as, ‘pressure, compression, straitness; hence, pressure from evils, affliction, distress

22           those days = those days of Satan’s tribulation of Rev. 11 and 13. Even those days of verse 19! Those days of the abomination of desolation!

Shortened = to 5 months. Rev. 9:5. Not only does it tell us 5 months, but also which 5 months it shall be! Check it out for yourself.

After Yahshua Messiah described the Great Tribulation (the second half of a seven-year period called the Tribulation, vv. 9–14), He began the next sentence (v. 15) with “therefore.” Thus He indicated that the next section of His discourse was a deduction drawn from the characteristics of that future period. 
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.’

In this Part 33 I go into the Book of Revelation Chapter 13:11-18 and see what Yahshua Messiah has to say to His disciples and most important TO US TODAY!

 11.          beast = the beast system in verse one was a political beast whereas this beast system will be a religious one. John sees this second monster coming up out of the earth, a beast that has two horns like a lamb, and a voice like the voice of a dragon. There is a close connection existing between the ten-horned and the two-horned beast. The latter (1) exercises the power of the first beast before him, (2) causeth the earth to worship the first beast, (3) says to the earth that it should make an image of the first beast (verse 14), (4) gives life unto the image of the first beast, and (5) causes those who will not worship the image to be slain (verse 15). These statements show that there exists a close connection between the two, and that the last is the supporter and restorer of the first.
Coming up out of the earth = Prof. Stuart renders this, “ascending from the land.” The former was represented as rising up out of the sea verse 1; indicating that the power was to rise from a perturbed or unsettled state of affairs - like the ocean. This, from what was more settled and stable - as the land is firmer than the waters
 And he had two horns like a lamb = In some respects he resembled a lamb; that is, he seemed to be a mild, gentle, harmless animal. There is a similitude like the Lamb of Elohim; a counterfeit representation; but a voice like the old dragon even back to Gen 3.
And he spake as a dragon = See the notes on Rev. 12:3. The meaning here is, that he spoke in a harsh, conceited, proud, arrogant tone - as we should suppose a dragon would if he had the power of utterance. The general sense is that while this “beast” had, in one respect in its resemblance to a lamb - the appearance of great gentleness, meekness, and kindness, it had, in another respect, a haughty, imperious, and arrogant spirit.
The second Beast, like the first, is superhuman, obsessed and energized by satanic power. Three times he is called "the False Prophet" (16:13; 19:20; and 20:10). He is also the great assistant of the first Beast, and his mission is to aid the first Beast by deceiving mankind. The Lord Yahshua Messiah, in speaking of this great Tribulation, warned against False Prophets as well as against False Christ’s, and spoke of their great work and power to deceive (Matt 24:5, 11, 24. Mark 13:22). Here is "the False Prophet," and this is his proper title.
He has two horns, and not ten, as the first Beast. The ten denote dominion; the two speak of testimony; in this case false testimony. He spake as a dragon, i.e., subtilely, craftily and deceitfully. (Compare Gen 3:1; 49:17. 2 Cor 11:3, 14).
And all these are used in behalf of the first Beast. The former is Political, the latter is Religious. The Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet form the Devil's travesty of the Holy Trinity.

It is infernal, as the other is Divine. The Dragon is the anti-Elohim; the Beast is the anti-Messiah; the False Prophet is the anti-Holy Spirit.

All the Scriptures, which refer to these Beast’s speak of them, without exception, as individuals. There is no hint as to their being anything else.

In this week’s study, we continue in Chapter 8.
In our last study we started this 8th Chapter which brings us to the Trumpets. Remember in our last study I discuss the fact that we have determined that Revelation is not in chronological order. It has been commonly taught that the 7th Seal is the event that opens the 7 Trumpets. This teaching is in line with the chronological order theory.
But think about it. The 6th Seal and the 7th Trumpet happen at the same moment in time. How, then, is it possible for the 7th Seal to open all 7 Trumpets? The answer is simple. It can’t.
If we take a quick look at the ending of the 6th and 7th Seals, the 7th Trumpet and the 7th Vial they would all have the same ending. We must ask ourselves, “Does Babylon fall once or Twice? Rev. 14:8, 18:2; Great Shaking Powers From Heaven Rev. 8:5, 11:13, 11:19, 16:18; Sun Become Black Rev. 6:12, 16:10; Great Hail Rev. 11:19, 16:21; Mountain & Islands Move Rev. 6:12, 16:20; Yahweh’s Wrath Rev. 6:17, 11:18, 14:9-10, 14:19, 15, 16; 19:15.”
John categorized everything written in the book of Revelation into one of three categories – Things which thou hast seen, things which are and things which shall be hereafter. This tells us immediately that the entire book is not prophetic. Not all of Revelation is future.
After introducing Yahshua Messiah in Chapter 1, we then read John’s seven letters to the seven churches in Asia. Were these merely letters to churches that existed in his day, or did they mean something deeper? Were they really prophecies of seven future “Church Ages?” Clearly, these were seven letters to seven churches. The problem that existed in the churches of John’s day still very much exists in churches of today. There is reason to assume otherwise. Chapters 2 and 3 fall into John’s “things which are” category.
In the first verse of Chapter 4, John clearly shifts to his third category – “Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.” Chapter 4 begins prophecies for future events.
We are given three different views of the end time. Each view gives different details, not unlike how Matthew, Mark, Luke and John record the life of Yahshua Messiah from four different perspectives.
The first view of prophetic events given Revelation is the 7 Seals. The Seals are the long story, and they end at Armageddon. The second account is told through the 7 Trumpets. The Trumpets contains s shorter view then the Seals, meanings they span a shorter period of time. But they have the same ending point – Armageddon. The 7 Vials are the last story. The Vials are the very short account of end time events, and they, too, end at Armageddon.
Because there are three different starting points all with the same ending point, we can know that Revelations is not written chronologically from beginning to end.
The 6th Seal, 7th Trumpet and 7th Vial are the same event. The event is the Wrath of Elohim. It begins immediately after the Great Tribulation, and it is when Armageddon is fought. The Battle of Armageddon and the Battle of Gog and Magog are the same battle.
The seven Archangels of Yahweh:
Uriel – ‘fire of El’ - This angel spoke to Ezra in the prophecy of Ezra. He seems to know much about the judgments to come.
Raphael – ‘the divine healer’ - He is involved in guarding spirits of mankind, even those yet unsaved.
Raguel – ‘friend of El’ - He is sent to judge wicked men and fallen angels.
Michael – ‘who is like El’ - He is the guardian of the saints of Yahweh
Saraqael – ‘prince of El’ - This judgment angel judges those who lead others to sin.
Gabriel – ‘man of El’ - He is the ‘in charge’ angel over all angels, fallen and holy and in charge of Eden.
Phanuel – ‘face of El’ - he is head guardian angel over those who guard the saints.

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. 
 In this Part 32 I go back to Matthew 24 verse 18 and see what Yahshua Messiah has to say to His disciples and most important TO US TODAY!
 I discuss the fact that this present Pope is a Luciferian!
 Beginning with verse15, begins the second sign that Yahshua has given us.
 18   Take a real good look at these verses 15 to 18. Notice that this is basically all one sentence. Therefore the thought remain the same throughout Yahshua’s message. Yahshua starts out in verse 15, telling us when we see the ‘abomination of desolation’ taking place, then in verse 16 He is telling those that live in Judea to flee to the mountains. Verse 17, He tells us not to come down from the roof top and gather up any of our personnel belongings and then in verse 18 we are instructed not to leave the field and return for our clothes.
 I have another thought on this verse. Why would you and I while working in the field, spiritual speaking preaching the Gospel of Yahshua Messiah throughout the world, as I am doing right now, need to go back home and gather our clothes when we are seeing these events unfold to us as Yahshua Messiah said?
 19  Why would Yahshua Messiah state this, if man was told by Yahweh to replenish the earth? Yahshua Messiah is not contradicting His Father! Yahshua Messiah is speaking in a spiritual sense, on those that follow after this false messiah, doing his work. As one nurtures a baby they will nurture the works of Satan. Remember Yahshua Messiah is coming back for his virgin bride. That’s to say those that didn’t follow after anti-Christ. This in essence is the Mark of the Beast found in Rev 13. This is a mark of service, which is hidden over a long period of time, by which they do his work. Keep in mind that this mark of the beast is not some tattoo as same my think nor some type of a computer chip, driver’s license etc. Let me ask you something. What is in your fore head? You’re Brain! That allows you to think!
 In those days = those days of the abomination of desolation!
Other words, WOE to them that hanky-panky with Satan!!!!!
I made mention of the Virgin Bride. Let us take a look at Matt. Chapter 25.
3  lamps = torches – light = symbolic of Yahshua Messiah
‘El- ah – yon’ this word is made up of three Divine titles of Yah!
EL - EL  is essentially  the Almighty , thought the word is never so rendered (see below, "Shaddai"). EL is Elohim in all His strength and power. It is rendered "God" as Elohim is, but  El  is God the Omnipotent.
AH = Jah is Yahweh in a special sense and relation. Yahweh as having BECOME our Salvation (first occ. Exod. 15:2), He Who IS, and WAS, and IS TO COME. It occurs 49 times (7 x 7. Spiritual completeness)
 YON = Elyon first occurs in Gen. 14:18 with  El , and is rendered "the most high (God)". It is El and Elohim, not as the powerful Creator, but as "the possessor of heaven and earth." Therefore the name is associated with the Messiah as the Son of "the Highest" (Luke 1:35). It is Elyon, as possessor of the earth, who divides the nations "their inheritance". In Psa. 83:18, He is "over all the earth". The title occurs 36 times (6 x 6 or 6 squared See Ap. 10).
 So we conclude that this oil is the ‘Word’ of Yahshua Messiah, i.e. the Gospel. Kind in mind if one doesn’t know the Word, then “they” can’t do the work for Yahshua Messiah.

In this week’s study, I finished up in Chapter 7, beginning with verse 15, than start Chapter 8.

Chapter 8

 Now that we have determined that Revelation is not in chronological order, it brings up another interesting question. It has been commonly taught that the 7th Seal is the event that opens the 7 Trumpets. This teaching is in line with the chronological order theory.
 But think about it. The 6th Seal and the 7th Trumpet happen at the same moment in time. How, then, is it possible for the 7th Seal to open all 7 Trumpets? The answer is simple. It can’t.
 The 7 years Chronological Order Theory
The most commonly held theory about the sequence of end time events is that the book of Revelation was written in chronological order. The theory states that end time events will happen in the order they appear in Revelation. “The interpretive approach to understanding Revelation,” it is commonly written, “is to accept the chronological order of the book and its plain sense meaning.
  I would like to take the time to look at this theory. Is it true

 Does Babylon Fall once or Twice?
Revelation 14:8   on earth
   “And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
Revelation 18:2 on earth
“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”
In Revelation 14:8 we read “Babylon if fallen, is fallen, that great city.” According to the Chronological Order Theory, Babylon is gone by Chapter 14. It is no more.
According to the Theory, however, Babylon must somehow be rebuilt, because we read that it falls again four chapters later in chapter 18!
Now does Babylon fall twice, or are there simply two accounts of the fall of Babylon
One Earthquake or Five
  Revelation 6:12 on earth, this is the 6th Trumpet
  “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;”
Revelation 8:5 in heaven, this is the opening of the 7th Seal
“And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.  Revelation 11:13 on earth, this is in or near the end of the 6th Trumpet.
“And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the Elohim of heaven.”
Revelation 11:19 in Heaven, this is at the beginning of the 7th Trumpet
“And the temple of Elohim was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”
   Revelation 16:18 on earth, this is 7th Vial
   “And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great."
We see that several earthquakes are recorded in Revelation. The first is “a great earthquake,” and it occurs in the 6th chapter.
The second, in Chapter 8, is recorded as “an earthquake.”
“A great earthquake” occurs in Revelation 11:13. Six verses later there is “an earthquake.”
One final earthquake is noted in the 16th chapter.

 The Chrononogical Order Theory places 5 earthquakes over 7 years. There is another possible explanation, however. Perhaps there is only one earthquake, with Revelation giving 5 separate accounts of it.

In this week’s study, we continue in Chapter 7 verse 14, however I will be discussing the events of the Great Tribulation.

In our last study one of the elders in verse 13 asked the question “What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?” This elder is referring to the vision that John saw pertaining to the multitudes which no man can number there in verse 9. John states in verse 14, “Sir, thou knowest.” Which the elder replies, “These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”

In this study we will be studying 10 passages of scripture. Each of the scriptures we will read pertains to the Wrath of Satan.

Daniel 7:25 “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”

Revelation 13:5-7“ and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against Yahweh, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” 

Revelation 12:6 “And the woman fled into the wilderness, ... a thousand two hundred and threescore days.”

Revelation 12:7-12 “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world...”

Revelation 12:13-17 “And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. ... And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Yahweh, and have the testimony of Yahshua Messiah.”

Matthew 24:15-16, 21 “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, :… For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”

Daniel 12:1-7 “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time:  How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? ... a time, times, and an half;”

Revelation 10 “And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,  But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of Yahweh should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.” 

Revelation 6:9-11 “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of Yahweh, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying,”

Revelation 16:4-7 “And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,” 

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called Yahweh, or that is worshipped; so that he as Yahweh sitteth in the temple of Yahweh, shewing himself that he is Yahweh.”
  

In this week’s study, we continue in Chapter 7 verse 9.

We now come to the second Vision "in Heaven." It contains a yet further answer to the question of 6:17: "Who shall be able to stand" in the judgment? While it commences the second pair of Visions: viz., the opening of the seventh Seal "in heaven," and the consequent sounding of the six Trumpets "on earth."

I go on a rant about the spiritual warfare between Satan and his evil demons attacking the souls of the Elect. I even share the lyrics from the song “The Future” by Leonard Cohen, where he states “Give me absolute control over every living soul” and “And now the wheels of heaven stop you feel the devil’s riding crop Get ready for the future: it is murder…”.

9.  After this = Those things taking place on the earth. That is, after I saw the sealing of the 144,000 represented I had another vision. The expression marks a separation from what has gone before, and introduces the second distinct Vision "in heaven."

I beheld = “I-do” That is, he saw them before the throne. The vision is transferred from earth to heaven; from the contemplation of the scene when desolation seemed to impend over the world, and when comparatively few in number were “sealed” as the servants of Yahweh, to the time when the redeemed would be triumphant, and when a host, which no man can number would stand before Yahweh.

And, lo = Indicating surprise. A vast host burst upon the view. Instead of the comparatively few who were sealed, an innumerable company were presented to his vision, and surprise was the natural effect.

A great multitude = Converts during the great tribulation Instead of the comparatively small number on which the attention had been fixed.

Which no man could number - The number was so great that no one could count them, and John, therefore, did not attempt to do it. This is such a statement, as one would make who should have a view of all the redeemed in heaven. It would appear to be a number beyond all power of computation.

10.          cried = they cry. Greek, “cry,” in the three oldest manuscripts, A, B, C, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic. It is their continuing, ceaseless employment.

 Salvation = ‘so-tay-ree'-ah’ Feminine of a derivative of so-tare' which is From sode'-zothat is, Yahweh or Christ as (properly abstract) noun; rescue or safety (physically or morally); This Greek ‘sode-zo’ word is form a primary word σῶς sōs̄ (contraction for the obsolete σάος saos, “safe”); to save, that is, deliver or protect (literally or figuratively); a deliverer,

Therefore, literally, “THE salvation”; all the praise of our salvation be ascribed to our Yahweh. At the Lord’s entry into Jerusalem, the type, similarly “salvation” is the cry of the palm-bearing multitudes. [Matt. 21:5-9; Zech. 9:9-10] Hosanna means “save us now”; taken from Psa. 118:25, in which Psalm (Psa. 118:14, 15, 21, 26) the same connection occurs between salvation, the tabernacles of the righteous, and the Jews’ cry to be repeated by the whole nation at Yahshua Messiah’s coming, “Blessed be He that cometh in the name of the Lord.”]
11.       And all the angels stood round about the throne = The holy and elect angels, even all of them, the ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, the countless company of them, who are represented in the same position;

In this week’s study, we begin in Chapter 7 verse 1 thru 8 with the sealing of the 144,000.

Quote from Henry Ironside. “In the last chapter we were occupied with the first half of the seventieth week of Daniel’s prophecy: “the beginning of sorrows” when “the wrath of the Lamb” will be poured out on guilty Christendom and apostate Judaism. All this is yet in the future. Now we find that before the Lord gave John the vision of the opening of the seventh seal (which introduces the great tribulation in all its intensity), He gave him this parenthetic seventh chapter in which are recorded two important visions. In the first, John sees a hundred and forty-four thousand Israelites sealed by an angel. In the second, he beholds a great multitude of Gentiles, led in triumph by the Lamb, taking possession of the millennial earth.

Judah is mentioned first, because Yahshua  sprung from that tribe, and the pure worship of Yahweh was preserved in it; and that itself was preserved a distinct tribe until the coming of Shiloh; its name signifies "praise Yahweh"; and shows, that it becomes all the sealed ones, all true believers, and every member of the “ek-kelsia” of Yahweh, to praise him for all favors and blessings, temporal, spiritual, and eternal.
Reuben was Jacob's firstborn, but by his sin he lost the honor and privilege of birthright, and therefore is mentioned after Judah, who prevailed above him and the rest of his brethren; his name signifies "see the Son"; and shows that the Son of Yahweh is to be looked unto for righteousness, life, and salvation, by all that expect to be saved, and to him does the true church look for eternal life and happiness.
Gad name signifies a "troop", and may denote that there would be a numerous company of saints and faithful witnesses during the time of sealing, and amidst all the troubles and afflictions that would attend the church and people of Yahweh, and who in the issue would be conquerors, and more than conquerors, through Yahshua 
Asher, signifies "blessed"; as all the sealed ones are, blessed with all spiritual blessings, with grace here, and glory hereafter.
Nephthalim the name of this tribe signifies "wrestling’s"; and may design the wrestling’s of saints, both with Yahweh in prayer, and with their enemies, sin, Satan, and the world, and also their strivings together for the faith of the Gospel.
Manasses this word signifies "forgetting"; and shows that the followers of Yahshua  should forget the things that are behind, their sinful lusts and pleasures, the onions and garlic in Egypt, and their former company and acquaintance, their own people, and their father's house, and all their labors and sufferings for the sake of Yahshua.
Simeon The name of this tribe signifies "hearing"; and such an hearing as is attended with obedience; and the spiritual and practical hearing of the Gospel by those who hear, and understand, and believe, and practice what they hear, and yield the obedience of faith unto it.
Levi this name signifies "joined";  that these sealed ones were not only joined one to another in love and holy fellowship, but to Yahshua, and were one spirit with him, and were members of his body, flesh, and bones, and cleaved to him with full purpose of heart.
Issachar  the interpretation of this name is "hire" or "reward",; and may design those rewards of grace which Yahweh bestows upon his faithful servants, in times of tribulation.
Zabulon signifies "dwelling"; and was the tribe in which Yahshua  had his dwelling, and where he much conversed; and may denote his gracious inhabitation, as well as that of Yahweh the Father, and of the Spirit, among the saints and sealed ones.
Joseph name signifies "adding; and may intend the additions both of numbers, and of gifts and graces to the churches of those times.
 Benjamin this word signifies "the Son of the right hand", 

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 31 I go back to Matthew 24 verse 15 and see what Yahshua Messiah has to say to His disciples and most important TO US TODAY!

 In this study I begin to discuss the conversation that Yahshua Messiah had with His disciples in Matthew 24, beginning with verse 3. Note that there are 3 distinct questions that His disciples ask Him.

Then I continue and finished up with verse 15.
I discuss some thoughts from John Darby.
I share a testimony from the Christian Truth Center, “Vision of Rapture – How Rapture will be”.
I share an article from Chuck Baldwin, “Trump’s Deal with the Devil,” January 30, 2020. “Donald Trump’s so-called Deal of the Century unveiled this past Tuesday is actually a deal with the devil. This so-called Middle East Peace Plan would more accurately be called the “Permanent Palestinian Enslavement Act”—otherwise known as the “Save Benjamin Netanyahu’s Derriere Act.”

First, the passage tells us that the “prince who is to come” confirms a covenant after the Temple is destroyed. In the middle of the ‘one week’ period of that covenant (after half a ‘week,’ which is 1,260 days, or about 3 years and 5½ months, from the time he confirms the covenant), he puts an end to sacrifice and offering.
Daniel 9:26-27
It would have been impossible for Titus to have made a covenant after the Temple was destroyed, and then in the middle of the ‘week’ of that covenant (after 1260 days--about 3 years and 5½ months) to have put an end to sacrifice and offering. This is because after the Temple was destroyed there was no sacrifice and offering to abolish since there was no Temple.
The second reason Titus could not have been the “prince who is to come” is that Yahshua Messiah prophesied that “the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of through the prophet Daniel,” will happen after the gospel has been preached to all nations, at the time of the end.
Matthew 24:14-15
The third reason that Titus could not have been the “prince who is to come” is that at the end of the 70th ‘week’ of Daniel, all of the following conditions must be met, which was not the case after the time of Titus:
Daniel 9:24 
Based on a logical analysis of the chronology of Daniel’s prophecy, the “prince who is to come” has not yet come. It is important to note this, because Daniel chapter 9, using a minimum number of words, tells us that a future Temple will be standing in Jerusalem at the time of this “prince.”

16           Then = i.e. when they shall see "the abomination of desolation," etc. \Them which be in Judaea = Not only in Jerusalem, but in its vicinity, as most exposed to danger from the invading army.
Judea = the area in which Jerusalem sits
Flee into = ( epi , over) the mountains.
17           on the housetop = What is the purpose of the housetop? It is the place where the watchman stands!
So, we may ask, watching for what? The enemy! So therefore, when you see the enemy coming flee from Judaea, other words flee for refuge.
Never forget who your refuge is! Yahshua Messiah!

In this week’s study, we finish up our study in Chapter 6 with the 6th Seal.

When do you think that these seals began their work? Did they begin when Yahshua Messiah opened the book as we read in the beginning of this chapter?

Or did Yahshua reveal the future to John on these seals and the seal really didn’t affect until Israel become a nation in May of 1948? I throw out that thought based on what He tells us in Matthew 24:32-35 

 In this sixth Seal we are carried right forward to the time of the end. The Seals, as we have said, are a summary, in brief, of the whole period of the Tribulation; and, as the former Seals correspond exactly with the last great prophecy of Yahshua Messiah in Matt 24, so this sixth Seal also has its place in that chapter. We may thus exhibit the parallel:

 | Matt 24 |                       The Seals.                                  | Rev 6 

 | 4, 5           |      1st      | The False Christ                      | 1,2
 | 6, 7-         |       2nd    | Wars                                               | 3, 4
 | -7-             |      3rd     | Famines                                        | 5, 6
 | -7               |      4th     |  Pestilences                                 | 7, 8
 | 8-28         |       5th    | Martyrdoms                               | 9-11
 | 29-30      |       6th    | Signs in Heaven of Advent | 12-17

 Remember in an earlier study I took the time to show you that the 6th, seal 7th trumpet, and the 7th vial were the same event! I will show you the secret to understanding Revelation by going through one simple exercise. Once again I will compare 3 key events in Revelation with each other – the 6th Seal, the 7th Trumpet and the 7th Vial. The 6th Seal is recorded in Chapter 6. The 7th Trumpet is in the 11 Chapter, and the 7th Vial is found in Chapter 16. We will discover that these 3 events are actually one and the same. The 6th Seal is the 7th Trumpet, and is the 7th Vial!

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.’
