THE TRUTH ABOUT RAPTURE

EVERYTHING YOU WERE TAUGHT WAS A LIE. PART 12

THE TRUTH ABOUT RAPTURE

The phrase "going to heaven" was part of my first vocabulary as a child born into  a Christian home. I grew up believing this without question because the people who taught this to me  literally did so with a Bible in their hands. 

I never understood the "power of indoctrination" could lock one's heart up to the truth and keep one's mind blinded even to the very obvious, until I myself was living it.

When the scales fell by YAHUAH's favour and compassion towards me, my heart was overwhelmed by how far off I had veered off the path. In humility and repentance, I started learning everything all over again from the scratch. It has brought me so much joy and shalum. All praises be to The Most High. 

As we unravel the truth about the "rapture", i want us to go back in time, through the lens of Scriptures. Revealing and re-living a beautiful love story... so delicately.

Let's Begin...

Our story takes us to the beginning... or, just before the "beginning".

There's The Creator, ruling with compassion and grace in the heavens.

His highly placed servant rebels, and one third of the other servants followed suit. 

He overcame this wickedness, betrayal and controversy and cast him and all those in conglomeration with him out of the heavens. He had other highly placed, strong and loyal servants who fought these enemies. 

The Creator established the earth, commanding the beauties that we see today.  Inspite of many generations that have gone before; ravaging-destructions, fires, flood, pillaging, wars, pollutants, etc. It has stood the test of time. 

He planted a garden East of Eden where He placed man and then, his wife.

In the test for eternal living, to completing the days they were created to fulfil, they failed. 

Their tempter, thinking he had gotten victory, and that they would be killed instantly, would only get more frustrated when he realized The Creator's compassion and a promise of Salvation in motion... beginning with, a day for Him, being a thousand years for us. 

The torment to undo the inevitable, to destroy man's chances of partaking in this wholesome goodness, would hunt him forever. 

Though the man and his wife were driven out of The Creator's presence/garden, to endure hardships by reason of their disobedience, He was never far from them. His promise to give His life to save them and His blood to cleanse them, just as the innocent lamb which was killed, it's blood spilt, and it's skin used to cover them on that day they sinned, it was only a matter of time.

Before His appointed time of Salvation, many lambs would be sacrificed by them and their generations after them (as was taught to them) at appointed times for thousands of years. This was done so they will not be destroyed because of the stench of their sins, nor be devoured by the enemy, having any legal right over them. The blood of the lambs would suffice, for now.

 

As the number of people on earth grew, so did wickedness. The Creator's love remained. He did not destroy all as was deserving, but preserved Nukh/Noah and his family during, and after the flood to give us a chance to be partakers of His appointed time of Salvation... to all who will believe. 

Noah had three sons; Shem, Ham and Japheth. 

After the flood, wickedness still did persist. The Creator chose Shem as a progenitor after Noah.

Through Shem's lineage, a prophetic child, Abram, who would defy and destroy his father's idols was born. 

He could  discern that the order of things in Creation could never have been established by worthless idols made from wood and rock or even from man's imaginations or inventions. 

The Creator called him and he walked with Him, faithfully. 

His faithfulness and obedience to The Creator was rewarded with friendship and an eternal promise of Salvation (a vessel through his lineage).

Although he and his wife were old and childless, it was only a matter of time. [Barashyth/ Genesis 15:1-21, Melchizedek, Jasher, Jubilees].

The ETERNAL entered into covenant with Abraham and his seed forever. Reaffirming and sealing it with the covenant of circumcision, a change of name for him and his wife, Sarah and the promise of the birth of Yatsaaqah/Isaac their son, and heir to this promise.

From Isaac and his wife Rabakah/Rebekah, came Ashoo/Esau and Yahuquub/Jacob (fraternal twins). The Creator chose Yahuquub to be a partaker of this Covenant forever. He, and all of his lineage.

Jacob had twelve sons. Each, representing a Tribe.

Just as with Abraham and Isaac, The Creator kept his Covenant with Jacob and his descendants. 

Their names; 

1- Rauban/Reuben

2- Shamaun/Simeon

3- Luyah/Levy

4- Yahudah/Judah

5- Dan

6- Naphthalyah/Naphthali

7- Gad

8- Ashoo/Asher

9- Yatsaaqah/Issachar 

10- Zabalun/Zebulon

11- Yahusap/Joseph

12- Banyamayan/Bejamin

Jealousy and resentment for his 11th son, Joseph by his brothers (excluding Benjamin), incited them to sell him off to slave merchants who eventually brought him into Egypt and sold him to Potipher (a captain of the guard) where he served as a slave for years till he was falsely accused by Potipher's wife and had to serve prison time too.

He was lifted up from prison by The Creator's hand at His appointed time. 

He, being endowed with divine knowledge from The Creator, interpreted the Pra'ah's/Pharoah's dreams, proffered solutions for the years of plenty and scarcity, was appointed Prime Minister over all Egypt and eventually saved his brothers and their families from the ravaging Seven Years of Famine.

Not too long after, Jacob, his sons, their families (all numbering Seventy), and with all their belongings, moved into Egypt at the request of Joseph, and lived in Goshen.

After their death (Jacob, Joseph and all his brothers), their descendants remained there and were maltreated and enslaved for a very long time. The Creator sent help to them through Mushah/Moses whom he saved from the river and caused by divine orchestration to live, and grow in the palace as a Prince of Egypt. 

With a strong arm, He brought His people up from slavery after showing mighty acts with signs in heaven and on the earth, bringing judgement upon that wicked nation.

The Creator chose these people for Himself and He was with them, honouring the covenant He made with their fore-fathers.

They had the wilderness experience, where He taught them His Commandments and where He also, tested them. They were stiff-necked. 

As a loving father, He chastised them. 

When the forty-year period was complete as He foretold, He gave them victory over nations of giants, with Moses' servant, Yahusha/Joshua of Nun leading them to the Promised Land.

[Exodus 34:10-27]

The Creator renewed the same covenant with their children. Being a Sovereign leader over them, instructing and governing them through Judges, Priests and Prophets who were custodians of His Commandments, He led them.

After Yahusha/Joshua of Nun died, His chosen people forgot to uphold the covenant and went astray. The Creator allowed the other nations who hated them to be superior over them, subjugate and plunder them till they remembered who they were and pleaded for His compassion and salvation. This back and forths (going astray and repenting when they couldn't bear His judgment) they did for many, many years. 

There were Twelve Judges in all from Othniel to Samson, who stood in the gap to serve in this capacity when the need arose during these period. 

Then came Shama'Al/Samuel... the one whom his mother Hannah, earnestly prayed for, serving also in this capacity.

He served faithfully. 

As years passed by and he grew old,

The ETERNAL's children revolted. They wanted a physical King like the other Nations. 

The Creator had a plan, but they moved too soon and ended up with a King like Shaul/Saul.

Still, at the appointed time, One whom The Creator had prepared, was anointed as King over all His flock. His name... Daud/David! 

The Creator was with him from a very young age. He was very courageous and had remarkable victories out in the fields where he watched his father's flock. Those exploits preceeded his victory over Goliath of Gath, the giant.

The Made-apart Spirit of The ETERNAL came upon him when he was anointed by The Prophet, Shama'Al/Samuel. 

Though imperfect, and was justly chastised, he was a man after The Creator's own heart. It was through his lineage, the ONE whom was prophesied of, would come. The Messiah! The Saviour of The World!!!

YashaYahu/ Isaiah 9:6-7

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His Name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty Sovereign,  Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. And of the increase of  His government and of Peace, there shall be no end."

OTHER PROPHESIES OF MESSIAH'S BIRTH

● Root of Jesse... [Isaiah 11:1-5]

● Born in Bethlehem... [Micah 5:2]

● Virgin birth... [Isaiah 7:14]

● Suffering servant... [Isaiah 53]

● Healing... [Isaiah 35:5-6; 53:5]

● Royal lineage and Eternal Kingdom... [Isaiah 2:1-12] 

● Overcoming His enemies... [Thahlym/ Psalms 110:1]

● Restoration of Yashar'Al (All Tribes)... [Ya'qhazak'Al/ Ezekiel 36:1-38; 37:1-28, YashaYahu/ Isaiah49:6; YaramYahu/ Jeremiah 30:1-40]

"From the mouth of two or more witnesses, a case is established". [Deuteronomy 19:15, 2 Corinthians 13:1]

We see fulfillment of prophesies scattered throughout the scriptures both in the old and re-newed covenants.

Whatsoever The Creator says, He brings to pass.

This, He also did with His plan of Salvation.

[Matthew 1:23; 2:1-6; 11, John 18:33-37, Acts 1:4-6, etc.]

Was There Foreshadowing?  

Things in the past that point to the significance of The Messiah's coming and purpose? 

We see that too...

■ There was the sacrificing of animals to take away sins, until Messiah came and shed His blood once, for all.

■ There was the son of Adonijah, King of Salem, Melchizedek the prince who went after the sceptre which was stolen by the servant, Samael whose heart was changed and who had betrayed the King, his Master. 

He accepted to be humiliated and terribly hurt by him whom he once called brother and friend, until sunset.  A sacrifice he was willing to pay to get the symbol of authority of Salem back and preserve the kingdom and all who were in it.

He was humiliated, stripped and beaten so mercilessly for hours... scourged, and left for dead. 

He awakened by divine providence and made it back to Salem with the Sceptre paid for with his own blood. [See book of Melchizedek chapter 8 and 9 for more] 

■ Abraham, not holding back his only beloved son, showed how much more our heavenly Father would give up His most priced possession to save us.

■ Kanuch/Enoch had direct and  allegorical visions foreshadowing The Messiah’s coming and the end of days. [See book of Enoch]

■ YashaYahu/Isaiah and many others saw His day too. [See book of "Ascension of Isaiah"] 

HallaluYAH!!!

Just as our predecessors waited for the  fulfillment of prophesy, and even experienced some in their day, we wait also.

We wait with earnest desire, longing to see a manifestation. Banking on what was Promised... NOT imagined, or fabricated.

The Scriptures are consistent because, The Creator and Sovereign of our very lives does not change neither does He fail to bring to pass His promises. 

He knows the end of a matter from the beginning. 

The very Promises He made to His people, aligns with those made for Messiah, who is to be their King. 

It totally makes sense!

This was why His disciples asked Him;  "Will you Master, at this time, restore again the Kingdom to Yashar'AL?" [Acts 1:6] 

They were asking for their nation to be restored (12 tribes) and for judgement to come upon the nations that oppressed them and still were oppressing them, having occupancy and authority in their land. 

Were Their Expectations Aligned To What Was Promised/ Prophesied?

Danay'Al/ Daniel, in his time also saw a vision. His vision showed clearly how a tall stature with the head of gold, chest and arms of silver, belly and thighs of bronze, legs of iron and feet of iron and clay were dashed into pieces when a rock, cut without hands, struck at the feet made of iron and clay. That rock grew and filled the whole earth!

That rock is Messiah! And it growing and filling the whole earth, is the influence of His Kingdom, reaching the entire earth... EARTH!!!

I will not ignore that there are Scriptures that have been pushed to support The RAPTURE doctrine. 

Knowing that The Creator chose these people for Himself and covenanted with them as a means to reach the whole earth, and in line with precept, accepting the truth for what it really is, we will look at it through the eyes of them who received this PROMISE and align accordingly. 

<<<Truth above feelings and sensationalism>>>

We will go over 1Thessalonians 4:13-18 again to see if it was alluding to random "secret disappearances".

"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Yahusha died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Yahusha will YAHUAH bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the ALUAH, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the ALUAH shall not preceed them which are asleep. For the ALUAH himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of YAHUAH: and the dead in Messiah shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the ALUAH in the air: and so shall we ever be with the ALUAH. Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

OUTLINED FACTS 

NOTE: These will take place AFTER The Tribulation.

1) It will be a Single Event.

2) All eyes will see Him at the same time. 

YashaYahu/Isaiah 40:5

"And the glory of the YAHUAH shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the ALUAH has spoken.”

It will be as the one recorded in;

Revelations 1:7

"When He comes in the clouds, all eyes will see Him, even those who pierced Him. And all the earth will mourn".

As well as;  

Matthew 24:29-31

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give it's light. And the stars will fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heaven will be shaken. Then, will appear in heaven the sign of The Son of Man, coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send out his Qadush Messengers/ angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other".  

Here too;

Daniel 7:13-14

"I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a Son of Man, and He came to the Ancient of Days and was presented to Him. And to Him was given dominion and esteem and a Kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him; His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His Kingdom one which shall not be destroyed."

Same as;

Mark 13:24-27 

"... and then they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and esteem. And then shall he send His Qadush Messengers, and shall gather together His elect from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of the heaven"

 and,

Luke 21:27 

"there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's heart failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great esteem. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws nigh"

3) It won't be hidden, neither would it be a secret or covert event where people would be wondering or investigating random isolated "disappearances" of peoples. 

4) He is coming to fulfil what was prophesied of Him.

5) He is not coming back, to go back to heaven, to come back a third time.

6)  He doesn't want us to sorrow as those who are ignorant of the hope that when a person who believes in Him falls asleep (dies) while on earth, is preserved in Him.

7) If we believe that Messiah died and resurrected, we ought also to believe same for anyone who has died, whilst believing in Him.

Yahusha said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live..."

[Yahuknn/ John 11:25]

8) Those who are alive and remain until the coming of Messiah, will not go into the Kingdom before those who died.  The dead in Messiah will rise first.

9) Being "caught up" to meet Messiah in the air, is not the same as "going to heaven". It's more of "The Gathering". (More to show on this)

10) We will all be changed. Being in the Presence of The ETERNAL and the Lamb will require a total transformation both from those who slept and who are alive in Him.

Trivia Time:

This Kingdom which Messiah is set to rule over, where nations of the earth bring tribute and serve Him... is it an Earthly one? Or is it all going to be in Heaven?

 

I mean, are we going to heaven based on any prophesy?

Oh wait! I don't want to get ahead of myself. 

Let's Continue...

In Testing everything as Scriptures admonishes, let us look closely to see if the people who walked closely with Messiah, had the same expectations as the Promises/Prophesies from old.

WHAT WAS THE EXPECTATION OF YASHAR'AL?

1) They were expecting the gathering back of the dispersed Tribes and the ones scattered to the four corners of the earth (Yashar'AL and Yahudah).

[Isaiah 11:12; 56:8, Jeremiah 29:14; 31:8, Ezekiel 11:17; 20:34 &41-42; 39:27-29]

"In that day YAHUAH will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, from Ashshur/Assyria, from Matsarym/Egypt, from Pathros, from Kush/Cush,from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea.

He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of Yashar'Al, and gather the dispersed of Yahudah/Judah from the four corners of the earth." YashaYahu/Isaiah 11:11-12

Therefore say, "Thus says YAHUAH:  I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Yashar'Al."

Yakhazak'Al/Ezekiel 11:17

"As I live, declares the Sovereign YAHUAH, surely with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out I will be king over you. I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out. And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face. As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, declares YAHUAH. I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant. I will purge out the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against me. I will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am YAHUAH. “As for you, O house of Yashar'Al, thus says YAHUAH: Go serve every one of you his idols, now and hereafter, if you will not listen to me; but my Made-apart name you shall no more profane with your gifts and your idols.“For on my Made-apart mountain, the mountain height of Yashar'Al, declares the ALUAH, there all the house of Yashar'Al, all of them, shall serve me in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will require your contributions and the choicest of your gifts, with all your sacred offerings. As a pleasing aroma I will accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered. And I will manifest my Made-apartness among you in the sight of the nations. And you shall know that I am YAHUAH, when I bring you into the land of Yashar'Al, the country that I swore to give to your fathers."

Yakhazak'Al/Ezekiel 20:33-42

Yakhazak'Al/Ezekiel 20:43-44

"And there you shall remember your ways and all your deeds with which you have defiled yourselves,and you shall loathe yourselves for all the evils that you have committed. And you shall know that I am the ALUAH, when I deal with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt deeds, O house of Yashar'Al, declares the Sovereign YAHUAH” 

2) They were expecting them to be merged back as one people- One Nation (no more divided)

[Isaiah 11:10-14, Hosea 1:11, Jeremiah 3:18; 50:4-5, Ezekiel 37:15-28]

"The hand of YAHUAH was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the ALUAH and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.  He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.  He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”I said, “Sovereign, you alone know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the ALUAH!  This is what the Sovereign says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.  I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am YAHUAH.’” So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.  I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army. Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Yashar'Al. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Yashar'Al.  Then you, my people, will know that I am YAHUAH when I open your graves and bring you up from them.  I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I YAHUAH have spoken, and I have done it, declares the ALUAH.""

Yakhazak'Al/Ezekiel 37:1-14

"The word of YAHUAH came to me: “Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, ‘Belonging to Yahudah/Judah and the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, ‘Belonging to Yahusap/Joseph (that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him.’  Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand.

“When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you tell us what you mean by this?’ say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign ALUAH says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim’s hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick. I will make them into a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.’  Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on  and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign ALUAH says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land.  I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Yashar'Al. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms."

Yakhazak'Al/Ezekiel 37:15-22

"They will no longer defile  themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their ALAHYM. 

“‘My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees.  They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your ancestors lived. They and their children and their children’s children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever.  I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever.  My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their Sovereign, and they will be my people.  Then the nations will know that I YAHUAH make Yashar'Al set-apart, when my sanctuary is among them forever.’”

Yakhazak'Al/Ezekiel 37:23-28

"Yet the number of the children of Yashar'Al shall be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. And in the place where it was said to them, “You are not my people,” it shall be said to them, “Children of the living ALAHYM.” And the children of Yahudah/Judah and the children of Yashar'Al shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint for themselves one head. And they shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel."

[Hosea 1:10-11]

"In those days the house of Yahudah/Judah shall join the house of Yashar'Al, and together they shall come from the land of the north to the land that I gave your fathers for a heritage."

[YaramYahu/Jeremiah 3:10]

3) They were expecting their King from David's lineage, to rule over them all.

[Ezekiel 37:24]

"And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them."

4) They were expecting the destructions of other nations (their enemies).

[Jeremiah 46:25; 49:37; 15:11, Zechariah 9:1-17, Revelations 20]

Th         "The oracle of the word of YAHUAH is against the land of  Hadrach and Damascus is its resting place. For YAHUAH has an eye on mankind and on all the tribes of Yashar'Al, and on Hamath also, which borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise. Tyre has built herself a rampart and heaped up silver like dust, and fine gold like the mud of the streets. But behold, YAHUAH will strip her of her possessions and strike down her power on the sea, and she shall be devoured by fire. Ashkelon shall see it, and be afraid; Gaza too, and shall writhe in anguish; Ekron also, because its hopes are confounded. The king shall perish from Gaza; Ashkelon shall be uninhabited; a mixed people shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of Philistia. I will take away it's blood from it's mouth, and it's abominations from between it's teeth; it too shall be a remnant for our ALUAH; it shall be like a clan in Yahudah/Judah, and Ekron shall be like the Jebusites.  Then I will encamp at my house as a guard, so that none shall march to and fro; no oppressor shall again march over them, for now I see with my own eyes. Rejoice greatly daughter of Zion, Shout aloud, O daughter of Yarushalaym/Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having Salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the war horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall speak peace to the nations; his rule shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double.   For I have bent Judah as my bow; I have made Ephraim its arrow. I will stir up your sons, O Tzayoon/Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and wield you like a warrior’s sword. Then YAHUAH will appear over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning; the Sovereign will sound the trumpet and will march forth in the whirlwinds of the south. The ALUAH of hosts will protect them, and they shall devour, and tread down the sling stones, and they shall drink and roar as if drunk with wine, and be full like a bowl, drenched like the corners of the altar. On that day YAHUAH their ALUAH will save them, as the flock of his people; for like the jewels of a crown they shall shine on his land. For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the young women."

[ZakarYahu/Zechariah 9:1-17]

"The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart, and those who harass Yahudah/Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah, and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.  But they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the Philistines in the west, and together they shall plunder the people of the east. They shall put out their hand against Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites shall obey them.  And YAHUAH will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt, and will wave his hand over the River with his scorching breath, and strike it into seven channels, and he will lead people across in sandals.  And there will be a highway from Ashshur/Assyria for the remnant that remains of his people, as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt."

[YashaYahu 11:13-16]

5) They were expecting to dwell in the land The Creator promised their fore-father Abraham and to follow their King, David (The Messiah).

[Ezekiel 37:25]

"They shall dwell in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They and their children and their children's children shall dwell there forever, and David my servant shall be their Prince forever. "

"Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you.  I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Do not withhold; bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end  of the earth,  everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”

[YashaYahu/Isaiah 43:5-7]

6) They were/are expecting His Kingdom to last forever in Shalum.

[Isaiah 9:6-7]

"I will make a covenant of shalum with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them in their land and multiply them, and will set my Sanctuary in their midst for evermore. My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their ALUAH, and they shall be my people. Then, the nations will know that I am YAHUAH who sanctifies Yashar'Al,  when my Sanctuary is in their midst for evermore."

"There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Yasha/Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. And the Spirit of YAHUAH shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the ALUAH.  And his delight shall be in the fear of YAHUAH. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide disputes by what his ears hear,  but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.  Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,and faithfulness the belt of his loins. The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den.  They shall not hurt or destroyin all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of YAHUAH as the waters cover the sea. In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious."

[YashaYahu/Isaiah 11:1-10]

7) They were/are expecting that they will NEVER be uprooted again. 

[Ezekiel 37:26]

"In that day I will raise up the booth of Daud/David that is fallen and repair its breaches, and raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in the days of old, that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are  called by my name,” declares YAHUAH who does this. “Behold, the days are coming,” declares YAHUAH, “when the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed; the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it.  I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit. 

"I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them,” says the YAHUAH your Sovereign."

[Amus/Amos 9:11-15]

8) That they will be restored to Father and it will be through David (Messiah), their King. 

[Psalms 2:1-12]

"Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against YAHUAH and against his Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.”  He who sits in the heavens laughs; the ALUAH holds them in derision.  Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, “As for me, I have set my King on Tzayoon/ Zion, my holy hill.”  I will tell of the decree: The ALUAH said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”  Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the ALUAH with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Baruk/Blessed are all who take refuge in him."

9) That He will gather/pluck out the wicked first, and then, gather His children to Himself. 

[Matthew 13:30; 37-43 The Parable of The Wheat and Tares] 

"...Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds FIRST and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn."

Parable Explained:

"...The one who sows the good seed is the Son of man. The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the Kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are the Qadush Messengers/ Angels. Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. The Son of man will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, and throw them in the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the upright will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father.  He who has ears, let him hear."

See also ; Psalms 1:1-6, Matthew 24:40-42, Luke 17:34-35

10) That the meek will inherit the earth.

[Matthew 5:5]

"Baruk are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."

Also see:

Psalms 37:10-11, Proverbs 2:21, Isaiah 60:21; 57:13;  61:7; 65:9] 

11) The Messiah left, The Made-apart Spirit came, and they are awaiting The Messiah's return.

 

[Luke 24:50-51]

"While He baruk them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshipped Him and returned to Yarushalaym/Jerusalem with great joy."

Acts 1:9-11; 2:4]

"And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.  And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Yahusha, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."

[John 14:26]

"But the Helper, the Ruk Ha'Qadush/ Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you"

[Yahual/Joel 2:28-29]

"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Ruk/spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."

12) We will reign with Messiah a thousand years.  At this time, we will all be changed. 

[Revelations 20:6] 

"Baruk and qadush is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of YAHUAH and of Messiah and they will reign with Him for a thousand years."

Another Popular Scripture Used To Push The "Rapture" Doctrine;

MattathYahu/Matthew 24:40-41

"Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

Still following precept, we see that it is the wicked who are cut off and the upright who remain on the earth.

Mashalym/ Proverbs 10:30

"The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth."

Mashalym/Proverbs 2:21-22

"For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it."

Thahlym/Psalms 1:4

"The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away."

Thahlym/Psalms 37:10

"In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant shalum."

● Noah was preserved while all the wicked were cut off from the earth.

[Barashyth/Genesis 6,7 & 8]

● In the parable of the wheat and tares, the tares were gathered first and burned up and the wheat was put in the barn.

[MattathYahu/Matthew 13:30-41]

● Sodom and Gomorrah which did wickedly was burned up and Lot and his daughters were preserved in a land not too far from there.

[Barashyth/Genesis 19]

There are other examples in scriptures. Please read all the Scriptures from beginning to end for yourself like your life depends on it... because it does.

Know The Truth. 

Context matters. Read it all.

Looks like a lot is going to be happening here on earth. 

Do we have the proper expectation?

Let's dig in some more.

DID MESSIAH SEEK THE KINGDOM ON EARTH? 

■ Messiah always spoke about The Kingdom of YAHUAH. His parables show this clearly.

He prayed; "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on EARTH as it is in heaven."

[Matthew 6:10]

■ He prayed that The Creator does not take them out of the world. 

[John 17:14-26]

■ By His coming, His people are going to be gathered from abroad. 

[John 11:49-52]

■ It will be a glorious appearance. 

[Titus 2:13]

■ He will gather His elect from the four corners of the earth. 

[Matthew 24:29-31, Mark 13:24-27]

■ Destruction of the lawless one, the wicked, and all them that hate the truth. 

[2Thessalonians 2:1-12]

■ Upright people will go through the tribulation.

[Revelations 6:9-11]

■ Messiah will rule the nations (on earth) with an iron rod after judging and making war with them.

[Revelations 19:11-16]

■ The ETERNAL raised an upright branch from the seed of David to rule over His people in their land which He swore to Abraham (on earth). 

[Jeremiah 23:5-6]

■ The gathering of His people from the four corners of the earth will be a mighty sign and a wonder. So powerful, it will shake the whole earth.

It will be more memorable than when The Creator brought their fore-fathers out of the land of Egypt... The first EXODUS would no longer be referenced. ONLY THIS HENCEFORTH. 

THIS WILL BE THE SECOND EXODUS.

[Jeremiah 16:15; 19; 23:1-8, Isaiah 43:1-7]

"In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, YAHUAH OUR UPRIGHTNESS. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith YAHUAH, that they shall no more say,  The SOVEREIGN liveth, which brought up the children of Yashar'Al out of the land of Matsarym/ Egypt; But, The SOVEREIGN liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Yashar'Al out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land."

Where Did The Doctrine Of Rapture Originate From?

According to Knowingthebible.net

The Rapture Is Not in the Bible https://share.google/ToksjgLIAPzMPP3la

It all began with the Scottish minister Edward Irving (1792-1834). He was was a charismatic minister and spoke in "tongues" howbeit in a Catholic structured Church. 

He was dismissed from the Church of Scotland for his charismatic teachings in 1832 by the Church. He went ahead to form the Catholic Apostolic Church. This grew and became the the basis for modern-day pentecostalism.

In 1830, Irving had an encounter with a young girl, Margaret Macdonald in one of his sessions who claimed she saw a vision after she fell into a trance. She told him that Christ's return would no longer be in one phase, but in two. That he would come for the righteous first and "Rapture" them from the earth and then would come a second time to execute wrath on the wicked in the nations that will be left on earth.

Oh Irving equally made claims too that he heard "a voice" from "heaven" telling him to preach about the "secret rapture".

Note that before all these, there was no doctrine alluding to random secret disappearances. The expectations true believers had, were based on Promises/Prophesies properly documented throughout the Scriptures. 

Years later, an English minister and pioneer of Plymouth Brethren Movement, and founder of the Exclusive Brethren, John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) heard about Irving's teachings and travelled to Scotland  to learn about the secret rapture. 

He went ahead to create 

"Scriptural arguments" to support the rapture doctrine. 

His theological work credited him as the father of "dispensationalism" and "futurism".

He went to The United States and met Dwight Moody (1837-1899), founder of  Moody Bible Institute and Moody Press in Chicago. 

Moody adopted the rapture doctrine and became a worldwide disseminator of this doctrine through his printing press.

After this, Lewis Sperry Chafer (1871-1952) founded the Dallas Theological Institute in Texas. He and his institute began to strengthen the theological foundation of the doctrine of rapture and dispensationalism. This Institute was later renamed; Dallas Theological Seminary.

Is it a surprise or a coincidence that John Nelson Darby analyzed translations where these eschatological doctrines sprung up from? Like the Scofield Reference Bible, by Cyrus Scofield which was popularized in the 20th century in the US by it's wide circulation? 

These men wrote headings (inserting  "rapture") and footnotes that just freely pushed outright lies against Father's will, to steer people on a different path.

You could tell they had a lot of funding and media for wide circulation in the way they had success back then.

Charles Henry Mackintosh, a journalist (1820-1896) helped to spread Darby's work massively. He was a journalist from The Brethren Movement according to Wikipedia. 

Darby was credited with originating the pre-tribulation rapture even though history says otherwise. 

Why are shadows being cast on it's early influences?

Who were the "Plymouth Brethren" and why were their meetings always held in secret?

I could go on and on to prove that their allegiance was sinister and never with Father from the get-go. 

I'm hoping you can see the pattern back then with the ones now. Nothing new under the sun... People meeting in secret in Geneva (as did Darby and a select few), powerfully affecting and influencing the greater population back then. And now, nothing has changed.

The Corona V I R U S was an eye opener for a lot of people about the powerful influences of this world that operate behind the scenes.

I digressed...

Seeing clearly that Father did not author the Rapture doctrine.

We know Hollywood doesn't care about our Father's Kingdom yet they act "block buster" movies about the Rapture based on the "best-selling" Left behind series writings by Timothy LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. That should make you consider...

What is the agenda? 

Where does all these stem from? 

Who's Kingdom are they speaking of?

They don't want us having eternal life. That's for sure!

 

VERDICT:

~THE RAPTURE DOCTRINE DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THE SCRIPTURES ~

IN CONCLUSION 

The reason why there are so many references to The gathering of children of Yashar'Al, is because The Creator scattered them because of their disobedience and abominable practices.

[Deuteronomy 28:1-68, Leviticus 26:1-46]

He took His Name from them and let their enemies plunder them and carry them off to the ends of the earth until the last days when He will cause them (their descendants) to remember Him and to loathe the wicked ways wherein they have walked. 

They will remember who they are. They will repent and take back their identity, surnaming themselves after Him. 

They will obey His Commandments and live ready for Messiah who will come and  gather them (His elect) from the four corners of the earth, wherever they were scattered and bring them into their own land.

They will re-build the old waste and Messiah will rule over them. And all the nations of the earth that will not submit to His rule will be destroyed. 

The day of Messiah's coming will be so severe. All the nations of the earth will mourn because of His wrath that will be poured out on them because of their abundance of wickedness and also, how they had treated His people.

From reading the Scriptures, a lot is revealed. It is so easy to understand whom The ETERNAL's people were and are, today. 

Let's consider, Without bias; 

¤ Who is marginalized and constantly put down till date?

¤ Who has gone through gruesome deaths and enslavement till date? 

¤ Who do not know their heritage till date? 

¤ Whose lands have been divided up and plundered for others afar off to benefit till date?

¤ And very precisely, who have been dispersed and scattered to all the nations of the earth, against their will till date?

Basically, who is the tail and not the head???

If we "flipped this" we also do know... 

■ Whom the most richest, powerful and influential people are today. Whom you cannot even make a fair speech about, nor criticize till date. 

■ Those who are "incomplete" till date. Prophesy foretold that Yashar'AL will be complete when they are gathered back in their land (not Judah alone).

■ Those who were never taken as slaves to all the nations of the earth, nor their land divided, till date... though we see how grotesque and abominable their practices are to The Creator and to humanity. The Creator we know in The Scriptures, won't turn a blind eye to His people. He loves them. Those whom He loves, He chastizes. He wouldn't want His Set-apart people to be polluted, nor be associated with any abominable thing (He wants them to repent and be transformed from within).

■ Oh and yes, they are occupying someone else's land and we see how it's going.

Why would anyone claim to be YAHUDYM? Can anyone deceive The Creator?  Doesn't He know His own people?

Is their blood line elusive to Him???

The Messiah, in His Revelations to Yahuknn/John said; 

"I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Yahudym/Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." [Khazun/Revelations 2:9]

"Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Yahudym/Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you." 

[Khazun/ Revelations 3:9]

In His loving compassion, He will bring them back to the land that was promised to their fathers and will cleanse and purge them from their sins, and will give them a new heart.

Clearly, He won't take those who love wickedness and refuse to repent, and force a new heart in them. 

If we want to be counted worthy to be a part of this powerful gathering, we must be humble and repent and live for Our Creator, YAHUAH.

YAHUAH is so loving. He has made room for all who believe in the One whom He sent. By this, anyone from any nation and tongue on the earth can have access to His wonderful plan of Salvation. They will be grafted in, just as Yashar'Al will be re-grafted back to Their Source.

[Khazun/Revelations 7:9-17]

Do you ever feel left out because you're not Yashar'Al by blood?

Don't fall for the lies of them who propagate hate!  

There's room for you. 

"And the foreigners who join themselves to YAHUAH to ministerto him, to love the name of YAHUAH, and to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Shabbath and does not profane it,and holds fast my covenant— "these I will bring to my Made-apart mountain,and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayerfor all peoples.” The ALUAH, who gathers the outcasts of Yashar'Al, declares;

“I will gather yet others to him besidesthose already gathered.” YashaYahu/ Isaiah 56:6-8

Final Words

Religion was not created to free you, but to put you in eternal bonds. 

Filling you up with activities but never having a true connection with The ETERNAL Father. 

Yes, this includes your favourite one, Christianity. 

Did you really think that the enemy would create a system that leads you to Father? And serve it on a platter so we might obtain eternal life, while he is punished for all eternity??

No. He created a system he would control. Perpetually keeping us away from Father. 

Remember when he convinced Kuah/Eve that disobedience to The Creator had no consequences???

Oldest trick in the book... Still works for most.

The lies and manipulation of Scriptures is clear indication that the Scriptures is only a tool in Religion. 

Father loves us and is drawing us back to Himself. 

Truth to Note:

● Christianity has not replaced Yashar'Al.

● Christianity does not have it's foundation in Messiah of scriptures. 

● Christianity is an invention of man to turn us away from Our Creator and soak us in Religion. 

● Christianity has got us all chasing shadows... totally avoiding the actual promises Father made for his people through which the whole world would be baruk and saved. 

● Christianity hardens our heart from keeping The ETERNAL's Commandments as we ought.

● The path Christianity is on is a very broad way... very wide. It's no wonder that it's the largest religion on earth.

Largest??! 

Yes, indeed.

The path to life is straight and narrow. Only a few find it.

If you are seeking to be taken out first, aka "raptured", you are seeking to have a part/place with the wicked who will be cut off from the earth and burned with fire... the tares.

No "going to heaven" was Promised. 

Father is calling us back... reaching out to us through the web of lies and sticky mess to bring us back to Himself. He gave Himself and His ALL for us even when we hated Him. He gave us favour and forgiveness and has been really patient with us.

Isn't it a beautiful love story?

In all things, Seek YAHUAH and His true Son YAHUSHA through the guidance of His Made-apart Spirit (Ruk Ha'Qadush).

Thanks for reading. 

YAHUAH barak you.
