The Rapture

& ‘Is Judgment coming or Revival?‘

The scriptures clearly tell us that there will be a a resurrection of the dead in Messiah (1 Corinthians 15).

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.  23  But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

1 Corinthians 15:22-23

We are also told that those that are alive and remain will be caught up together with them.

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 4:17

This event has been popularly called the ‘Rapture‘. Even though the name ‘Rapture‘ doesn’t appear in the bible the event it describes does exist in scripture as stated above. Where disagreement mostly occurs is when this will happen. The arguments usually center around whether it is before, after or in the middle of the 7 year tribulation (Daniel’s last week). 

There is a blindness amongst Christians concerning certain prophecies in the old testament regarding Israel that prevents them understanding that there will be certain events that even precede the tribulation. 

It is clear from old testament scripture that there is going to be a regathering of Israel before the events of the seven year tribulation. We see a very partial fulfilment of this in the modern state of Israel. But there is much more to Israel than the Jewish State gathered in unbelief, there is also the 10 lost tribes of the ‘House of Israel‘. The concept of the lost tribes is often laughed out the door in Christian circles and equated with British Israelism. However once we understand that there is a reunion of the two houses coming (Ezekiel 37) we need to understand the reality of the gathering of these tribes. The old testament scriptures have a great deal to say about this. There is a gathering of the lost tribes coming with ‘fury poured out‘ (Ezekiel 20).

The blindness regarding ‘Israel‘ is related to the blindness concerning the Sabbath. This in turn leads to a blindness of the meaning of the Biblical Hebrew Feasts. This leads to a blindness regarding the timing of the redemption of our bodies because these Biblical feasts are all about prophetic timing. It doesn’t matter if you have a dispensationalist view of prophecy or not, if you don’t understand who is Israel and the importance of keeping the Sabbath and Biblical Feasts then you won’t understand the timing. Of the Ten Commandments, Keeping the Sabbath is the only commandment one that is about time, and it is the only one related to redemption (Leviticus 23). In terms of the timing of things, the Sabbath is the Key to prophecy!

There will not be a rapture of the righteous before world war 3. 

We will look at theses matters in detail shortly. But let me say first that there is a World War coming now before the tribulation and I will explain why later. Sadly many American’s especially Evangelical Christians think that the destruction of America is the end of the World. They equate a nuclear war with Armageddon and the Tribulation. But we have had 2 world wars already and there wasn’t a rapture then. There will be a resurrection but just because America burns, doesn’t mean its the time of the Tribulation, AntiChrist and 2nd coming. 

What is coming is an economic collapse and a third world war. And the believers will have to batten down their hatches because if we are humble and obedient we just might make it through the carnage of global destruction that will see the demise of our once semi Christian nations. Judgement is coming to our nations now.

Motives for looking for the Rapture

Many Christians like the pre-tribulation rapture because they don’t want any persecution or trouble. Others genuinely want to meet their Lord and Saviour. In any case there are many people that go to church that think they are saved but are not, and the only rapture they will have is to be beamed up into trouble. But the Lord will deliver His faithful people as He did for Noah and Lot. Yet others endure persecution and sometimes even martyrdom. But when the Resurrection happens that will be it. There will also be a time when the Angels gather the wicked into bundles for burning, that’s a Rapture you don’t want to be a part of.

This article will look at the Rapture from another angle. It is obvious that there will be a resurrection of the Dead in Messiah (1 Corinthians 15), the question is timing. There is going to be a massive war and a return of the lost tribes of the ‘House of Israel‘. We know this because God is going to gather the House of Israel with ‘fury poured out‘ (more on this later). 

The tribulation will follow at a later stage. It will not happen until midway through the tribulation for some, and at the end of the tribulation for others.

You will notice that there are different promises concerning His coming to each of the 7 churches of Revelation chapter 2 & 3, depending on their faithfulness. There will be some that have to go through the worst part of the tribulation because they were disobedient. There are others that will be spewed from the mouth of Yeshua because of their lukewarmness. And the resurrection of the wicked will not happen until after the 1000 year reign of Yeshua on Earth, when the Earth is then destroyed by fire as the book of Revelation plainly tells us.

What time period are we living in? 

During creation God set the Sun, moon and stars to mark times and seasons (‘moadim’ – biblical feasts). 

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:  

Genesis 1:14

It is true that God works in stages and that there are different seasons. The word translated ‘seasons‘ is actually the Hebrew word ‘Moadim‘ – meaning appointed times. These Moadim are actually times on the biblical calendar for Israel to meet with God. These Moadim are the 7 biblical feasts listed in Leviticus 23. The word ‘feasts‘ is literally the same Hebrew word ‘Moadim ‘ as translated ‘seasons‘ in Genesis 1:14.

The 7 biblical feasts (‘Moadim’) outlined in Leviticus 23 detail the plan of redemption of the God of Israel, יהוה, both in the past and in the future.

1. Passover (Pesach)
2. Unleavened Bread (Matzot)
3. Firstfruits (Bikurim)
4. Pentecost (Shavuot)
5. Trumpets (Yom Teruah / Rosh Hashannah)
6. Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)
7. Tabenacles (Sukkot)

The first three feasts represent Yeshua’s first coming in his; 

1. death – Passover (Yeshua pays the price for our New Covenant redemption)
2. burial – Unleavened Bread
3. resurrection – Firstfruits

The last 3 feasts represent Yeshua’s second coming and the fullness of the New Testament Covenant as spoken of by Jeremiah, when we will no longer sin. This will be fulfilled during a future Yom Kippur- Day of Atonement! This will most likely be midway through the 7 year tribulation at the time of the birth of the manchild (Rev 12).

Not only are there yearly cycles with Moadim on the Hebrew Calendar there are also cycles of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, weeks of years, Jubilees (7×7 Years plus 1 = 50 years).  

So we see God works in stages according to a preordained plan.  

Ages: Biblical Mazaroth versus the Pagan Zodiac

The sun and moon determine the biblical Hebrew feasts, Gen 1:14. But the Stars determine the Biblical Age. In Hebrew the Word for Age is ‘Olam’. 

The ages are determined by the precession of the Equinox. Each Age lasts for about 2160 years. And then there is the cycle of Ages that lasts 12 x 2160 years = 25,920 years. But that is the topic for another discussion. 

The study of the precession of the equinoxes has been paganised through the perversion of the biblical Hebrew understanding of the stars. Biblically the stars are related to the children of Israel who will be like the stars in the night sky for multitude. And it is no coincidence that there are 12 signs in the Zodiac which just so happen to be the same number of Jacob’s sons which became the 12 tribes of Israel.

What is called the Zodiac by the pagans is actually called the ‘Mazaroth’ in the Hebrew Old Testament. Again this too is outside the scope of this article suffice to say that an age is 2160 years or there abouts and it is based on the precession of the equinoxes. Remember the bible states clearly that the sun moon and stars are for times and seasons, Gen 1:14. The Sun marks the year, the moon marks the month. The word translated seasons is actually the word ‘Moadim’, which also is translated feasts. And so the biblical feasts are the seasons that Genesis 1:14 is referring to. These times mark important prophetic events in Israel’s past and future redemption and the Messiah’s first and second coming. Meanwhile the sun passing through the 12 constellations defines other cycles including the Age or Olam which is as previously mentioned just over 2000 years long (2160 to be exact).

We are currently in the age of Pisces and have been for the past 2000 years more or less. And are slowly moving into the age of Aquarius.

During the beginning of Yeshua’s ministry we were moving into the sign of Pisces and so naturally there was a lot of emphasis on fish and fishing. Yeshua is fishing for men, and many of them are from the tribe of Joseph and the other lost tribes. For details on the connection of the theme of fishing in the gospels to Torah see and hear the Parsha commentary on the radio website titled ‘Parsha – Vayechi – Joseph, Firstborn, Fish & the numbers 17, 50 & 153‘.

Now we are still moving through the end of the age of Pisces and we are moving into the cusp of Aquarius.

The tribe of Reuben is associated with Aquarius the water carrier because Reuben is a man (Adam) as unstable as water. Reuben represents the wisdom of Adam which will reach it’s zenith in this world during the midst of the Millennial Reign of Messiah Yeshua. It is then that the living waters will gush forth from the temple. This is part of what Yeshua alluded to regarding the Holy Spirit when He spoke during Sukkot in the gospel of John 7:38.

See the article titled ‘4 Square & the 5th Encampment‘ for a little more on this topic.

Dispensationalism

‘Dispensationalism‘ states that we are in the ‘age of Grace‘ and that the ‘age of Law‘ that came with Moses is over. In a broad way they are right. The Messiah has come. But He has come to write the Law on our heart. So the Law actually has not gone away. Rather, the law has been fulfilled in Messiah, and now he is bringing us first to himself and then the Holy Spirit begins the work of regeneration and writing the Law on our heart.

Dispensationalist theology is wrong when it states that the Law is done away with during the age of Grace. Salvation is by grace alone. Yet those that are saved are told in the new testament in John to keep the commandments of God. Love is the motivation.

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

John 15:10

God does not change. What was wrong yesterday is still wrong today and will be wrong tomorrow. And the Law gives us a knowledge of what is right and wrong, that is, sin. But only relationship with the Father through the Messiah, Yeshua enables us to overcome it. The Law doesn’t save us but saved people keep God’s Law. Not in a self righteous religious spirit but humbly through relationship with the Lord, motivated by Love.

Yeshua is the Word of God made flesh. So the Lord and His Law does not change. But there are certainly observable epochs or dispensations. In Genesis chapter one God made the Sun, moon and stars to mark times and seasons (Moadim). The Hebrew word translated ‘seasons’ is ‘moadim’ and literally means appointed feast days. These feast days are outlined in Leviticus 23. In Ecclesiastes 3:1 we are told there is ‘a time to every purpose under heaven’. There are 28 times listed which equate to a whole month. God does in fact do different things at different times and His Biblical Hebrew Calendar contains the plan of redemption. So God is working his plan through to completion. At present we are in a period of grace (mercy) that is extended to the Gentiles in order to bring in a great harvest of souls into the kingdom during Israel’s partial blindness and dispersion. This has been going on for 2000 years. And the Feast that is being fulfilled is Pentecost!

Pentecost – Bringing in the Sheaves – a SUNDAY work

Pentecost is a Hebrew feast. Acts chapter 2 was the beginning of the prophetic fulfilment of the gathering in of the Wheat.

Pentecost commemorates when the Firey Torah was received at Mt Sinai by Moses. The tounges of fire the descended upon the disciples represents the Holy Spirit which writes the Torah upon the heart.

Pentecost is also when the first of the wheat harvest is brought in.

Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
מִמֹּושְׁבֹתֵיכֶם תָּבִיאּוּ לֶחֶם תְּנוּפָה שְׁתַּיִם שְׁנֵי עֶשְׂרֹנִים סֹלֶת תִּהְיֶינָה חָמֵץ תֵּאָפֶינָה בִּכּוּרִים לַֽיהוָֽה׃

Leviticus 23:17

The two wave loaves have leaven in it symbolizing sin. We have not received the fullness of the promise of the New Testament in Jeremiah 31:31 because we still have a sinful flesh to deal with. It will not be until a future Yom Kippur that the fullness of the redemption from sin comes into effect.

Acts chapter two was the beginning of the wheat harvest of the gentiles.

During this period the lost tribes are also being gathered back to the Messiah.

The period of Pentecost will come to an end during the later rain outpouring of the Spirit. The outpouring of the Spirit in Acts chapter 2 is small in comparison to this latter rain. But it will occur during a period of tremendous upheaval and nuclear war (Joel 2:30 Palmtrees of smoke, see article ‘Is judgment coming or revival?‘)

This last days revival is for Israel, but it will effect the entire world.

It will be before the day of the Lord, the 7 year tribulation. But it will during a period of nuclear war if the Palm trees of smoke are to be taken literally!

Time is almost up, World War 3 is almost upon us. Sunday & Pentecost

One further interesting fact about Pentecost (Shavuot) is that it occurs on a Sunday. It does not occur on the 6th of Sivan every year as the Rabbis have fixed it in their pre calculated Rabbinic Calendar.

15  And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, 
from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: 

וּסְפַרְתֶּם לָכֶם מִמָּחֳרַת הַשַּׁבָּת מִיֹּום הֲבִיאֲכֶם אֶת־עֹמֶר הַתְּנוּפָה שֶׁבַע שַׁבָּתֹות תְּמִימֹת תִּהְיֶֽינָה׃

16  Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
עַד מִֽמָּחֳרַת הַשַּׁבָּת הַשְּׁבִיעִת תִּסְפְּרוּ חֲמִשִּׁים יֹום וְהִקְרַבְתֶּם מִנְחָה חֲדָשָׁה לַיהוָֽה׃

Leviticus 23:15-16

The morrow after the sabbath, is the day after Saturday which is Sunday! So Pentecost is a Sunday work! And the two Wave loaves have leaven in them and that represents Sin! 

SUNDAY MEETINGS

The practice of the early Torah based believers in Yeshua was to meet on the first day of the week (Sunday) for the following;

• Break Bread
• Preaching
• Offerings

Acts 20:7  And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

1 Corinthians 16:2  Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

This does not conflict with keeping the Sabbath on the Seventh day of the week (Saturday). They are not keeping another Sabbath but merely meeting and having fellowship. It does however hint at the Pentecostal nature of the Church Age. Remember Pentecost (Shavuot) was on the first day after the Sabbath, that is, Sunday. Pentecost may occur on the First day of the week, Sunday, but it doesn’t mean the Sabbath is done away with. This is the major error of the Church. 

The gentile church understands that we are not UNDER LAW but UNDER GRACE. But they misunderstand that God’s grace leads us to the keeping of His commandments not the breaking of them including the breaking of the Sabbath. But the leaven of Church Doctrine has been that the Old Testament Sabbath has been done away with and they use texts like those above (Acts 20:7, 1 Cor 16:2) to help prove it. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Gentile / lost tribes Church has merely repeated the same sin as Jeroboam (1 Kings 12-) did when he created his own feasts to prevent the ten tribes of the House of Israel from returning to Judah. 

Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.  26  And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:  27  If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.  28  Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.  29  And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.  30  And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.  31  And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.

 32  And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.  33  So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

1 Kings 12:25-33

So we see that old habits die hard, what the 10 lost tribes did before they were lost, their descendants are still doing, along with other gentiles in the Church. They are changing the Lord’s Sabbath, set times and seasons for their own.  Thank goodness that we are under God’s grace, but we too have stumbled over the stumbling stone! This is a point of Authority. God made the Sabbath for man not man for the Sabbath. But He does not give us the authority to change it. 

SUNDAY SABBATH? 

Again Pentecost is a Sunday work. And the two wave loaves of Pentecost had leaven in them. And so there has been Leaven in Church Doctrine.  There is sin in the Pentecostal gathering of the wheat of souls during these past 2000 years. And one of those sins is the changing of the Sabbath from the seventh day of the week to the first day of the week. This in turn lead to the abandoning of the Biblical Hebrew feasts which represent Yeshua’s plan of redemption. Instead the church adopted the Pagan Sunday, Holy days and Feasts. The Council of Laodicea made this break decisively in 363-364 AD.

So as we draw to a close to the Pentecostal period, low and behold, we are discovering the true sabbath and feasts once more. The Roman Church won’t like that because they pride themselves as being above God’s word in this matter! Here are some Quotes from the Church Hieracrhy:

The Roman Church now has the audacity to brazenly state;

•  “The Pope has the power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ. The Pope has the authority and often exercised it, to dispense with the command of Christ.”

Decretal de Tranlatic Episcop. Cap (The Pope can modify divine law) Ferraris Ecclesiastical Dictionary.

• “Sunday is therefore to this day the acknowledged offspring of the Catholic Church, as spouse of the Holy Ghost, without a word of remonstrance from the Protestant world.” 

Editorial, The Catholic Mirror (Baltimore), September 23, 1893.

• “You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, A day which we never sanctify.”

Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of our Fathers – 92nd ed. rev. Baltimore: John Murphy Company p.89

• “Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act… And the act is MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters.”

Letter, Oct. 28, 1895, from C.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons

• “Sunday is our mark of authority… The church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of the fact.”

Catholic Record, September 1, 1923

So there you have it, straight from the Dragon’s mouth! (By the way, the word ‘Vatican‘ means ‘Serpent‘).

The Protestant’s are still under Rome due to their adherance to the same doctrine!

RABBINIC REBELLION TO TORAH

Incidentally although the Rabbis keep the physical sabbath, they have not entered into the Lord’s rest via faith in Messiah. And they set themselves up just like the Pope with the same self appointed authority over scriptures. They keep the physical Sabbath but they break other commandments, for example;

• Leverate marriage,
• Blue dye in Zit Zits
  (with the excuse that they are waiting for snails to arrive! Snails don’t run too fast.)
• Fixing Biblical Calendar
  (there may have been a necessity once when they were out of the land but it is no longer necesssary, the start of the months can now be determined by when the barley is Aviv (green) in the land of Israel.
• Allowing tradition to nulify the commandments (daily ceremonial washing of hands etc, see Mark 7)
• Persecuting believers in Yeshua HaMashiach and driving them out of their Synagoges. In this one act they nullify all of Torah because the Torah is a schoolmaster to bring us to the Messiah!

Over the few hundred years that the Rabbi’s were hardening their opinions against Messiah, at the very same time the Gentile Church was hardening it’s attitudes towards the Sabbath and feasts via the Council of Laodicea etc. They were like two spiteful jealous sisters duking it out. They both became prostitutes in their own way. It’s very sad.

The following quote is from Morial Ministries.

“After five centuries of accumulated oral teaching was passed down, Rabbi Yehudah ha Nassi – meaning ‘Judah the President’ – and his disciples wrote down selected material from the oral law, calling it ‘Mishnah‘; this was not done until 230 A.D.   The Talmud, in other words, was not even written down at all until 230 A.D.  What the rabbis teach is this: the Talmud – what they call the Torah b’pei  was given to Moses on Mount Sinai, although he did not write it down.  However, in Joshua 8:35, among other places, we read this: “There was not a word of all that the Lord had commanded Moses which Joshua did not read before the people of Israel.”  So the Torah says that Moses wrote it all down, but the rabbis deny this and claim that the oral law was given without being written down until a later date.  They go so far as to say that the opinion of one rabbi is more important than the opinions of a thousand prophets, because the prophets were only messengers and secretaries, while the rabbis had to interpret the messages and divulge their meaning. “

http://www.moriel.org/articles/sermons/jesus_in_the_talmud.htm

The Rabbis followed the same sort of authority structure as the Church, placing their own man made authority over scripture. It’s the golden calf all over again.

So there is an element of sinful Babylon in both camps, Jews and Christians. We have to return to the word of God. 

The SABBATH & the Rapture

The Sabbath day and the biblical Hebrew feasts are all about our redemption from not only Egypt but from Sin itself. The Sabbath and the feasts are all about the Messiah Yeshua and His LAWFUL Bride, the Church (Adat Israel). This has everything to do with the timing of the Rapture and who gets to participate in it. There will be a resurrection, and there will be a gathering unto the Lord Yeshua. The Trumpet will sound and the dead in Messiah shall rise! There will be time when this mortal puts on immortality, when this corruptible puts on incorruption, when we are clothed in our resurrection bodies. 

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,  52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53

The only question that remains is a question of timing. And the timing is outlined in the biblical feasts, in particular the last 3; 

• the day of Trumpets (gathering unto Him),
• and the Atonement nine days later, judgement seat of Messiah
  (New Testament comes in it’s fulness and the presence of sin is dealt with)
• and Tabernacles (the bride and groom united)

The Day of Trumpets is called ‘Rosh HaShannah’ – or head of the year by the Rabbis. In the bible it is simply called Yom Teruah, the Day of Trumpets. The Day of Trumpets occurs on the first day of the seventh month, the month of Tishrei. The first month, Nissan is the Head of the Months (Ex 12:2) but Tishrei is the ‘Head of the Year’ (Rosh HaShannah) from whence the Sabbath years and the Jubilees are started, calculated and concluded (Lev 25:9).

The month is determined when the first sliver of the new moon occurs. That is, it has to be determined visually, not via a pre-calculated rabbinic calendar. Quite often the pre-calculated date for the first day of the month is correct but sometimes it is not! And so the Day of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) is a day no one knows until the new moon is sighted from the land of Israel. 

There is also a trumpet that sounds during the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) related to the year of Jubilee. This also is very significant and may relate also to the rapture and the last trump. But it is a day that can be calculated since it occurs on the Tenth of Nissan, well into the month.

In any case the rapture is no doubt tied to these feasts (the day of trumpets / Atonement) because it is a gathering by trumpets when the Atonement for sins is made in it’s fullness. 

Old Testament events to be fulfilled before the Resurrection / Rapture

But before we get to the Rapture or the events in Revelation there are some old testament prophecies that are still awaiting fulfilment. Many Christian theologians are under the impression that the Church wont be here when the prophecies pertaining to Israel are fulfilled. The transition from one work of God into the next is not necessarily so sudden. There was a period of transition between the Kingdom being offered to the Jewish Leadership in Yeshua’s day and the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem in 70AD.  In that time period, the Pentecostal work was begun. During Pentecost the first of the wheat harvest was brought in. Some Jews believed in Yeshua, even if their leaders rejected him. Then the good news of Messiah went to the gentiles, especially through the Apostle (Shelech) Saul who was renamed Paul. There was a period of transition as the physical nation that gave birth to Messiah began to die and the lost tribes and other gentiles were brought in. So it will be towards the end of the Pentecostal wheat harvest, there will be a transition as the nation of Israel begins to be put back together, birth pang by birth pang. 

So there are events prophesied in the old testament that are yet to be fulfilled. Some of these shall be fulfilled before the events of the book of Revelation. The Church is going to experience these events first hand and if they are obeying our Lord’s commandments, in spirit and in truth they may be blessed enough to survive these events.

Let’s have a look at one of these events prophesied in the book of Romans…

The blindness in part of Israel until…

As the 2000 year Pentecostal period of the church age draws to an end Israel will be brought back together.

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Romans 11:25

See the front page of this website for more information about what term the ‘fullness of the Gentiles‘ actually means, it is related to the 10 lost tribes of the house of Israel.

Paul continues in the next few verses to outline the prophetic program after the fulness of the Gentiles comes in…

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:  27  For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.  28  As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.

Romans 11:26-28

It is not only the majority of the Jews that are blind. Their blindness and hardness of heart towards Yeshua is legendary and has lasted almost 2000 years. But they are in the process of waking up. And the early church had it’s beginning in Jerusalem amongst the Jewish disciples of Yeshua, let us never forget that. And let us also remember that the only perfect man is a Jew, A Jew named Yeshua (ישוע).

The other place where terrible blindness has occurred during the same period of time within the Gentile Church! They have ditched the biblical Sabbath and the Feasts which are all about the Messiah, Yeshua and replaced them with Pagan feasts which are related to the whore of Babylon and the AntiChrist!

And lastly within the bible believing church there is great darkness towards the Torah in general, treating the Law as a strange thing. Which is not only a gentile tendency it is also a tendency of the Lost tribes of Israel. It is the purpose of this website to try and open peoples minds to the FACT of the 10 lost tribes who have lost their identity and the awakening which is actually already beginning.

We are told of a future joining and reconciliation of these lost tribes of the House of Israel with the Jews, the House of Judah in Ezekiel 37.

Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:  17  And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.  18  And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?  19  Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

  20  And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.  21  And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:  22  And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:

Ezekiel 37:16-22

So the blindness is not just those ‘stubborn old Jews‘, it’s also those ‘stubborn old bible toting Christians‘. Many of the Christians in America and Australia and elsewhere are actually from Israel. Some are from Esau and other nationalities. But as the church age draws to a close the lost tribes will be awoken. And it looks like it will take a nightmare of a third world war to fully awaken them. And then only a remnant will return to their ancient land of Israel. They will not join to Torah rejecting secular Israel. Neither will they join to Yeshua rejecting Talmudic Rabbinic authority. They will join with a Torah obedient Jewish remnant that follow Yeshua the King of the Jews.

Evangelical Blindness

The problem for evangelicals is that by and large they do not understand the prophecies about the return of the Lost tribes to the land of Israel before the day of the Lord. This regathering will be with ‘fury poured out‘.

As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:  34  And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.  35  And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.  36  Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.  37  And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:

Ezekiel 20:33-37

The above verses do not apply to the Jews (i.e., the House of Judah), although they they have been regathered with fury poured out. It refers to the ‘House of Israel‘. And the evangelical church in America is full of believers from the lost tribes. Their lack of knowledge of the two houses of Israel cause them assume that the Tribulation is the next thing to happen prophetically, but that comes after  the return of the lost tribes and the appearance of the Anti-Christ.

In the past a theory called British Israelism has taught erroneously that England is the Israelite tribe of Ephraim and the USA is Menasseh and France is Rueben etc. The fact is that the seed (descendants) of the lost tribes are mixed up amongst the nations (literally they become the fullness of the nations). But they do not comprise the entire population of the nation. So the lost tribes are amongst the nations where bible believing evangelical Christians reside, but the whole nation is necessarily all lost tribes peoples as British Israelism generalises. 

Many of the lost tribes left Europe and went to America after the protestant reformation. It is doubtful that there is much of the seed of these 10 lost tribes in Europe. There may be a few still in Great Britain, but many have left there already. The protestant reformation was really a partial awakening of Israel and a return to a more scriptural faith. Most of the lost tribes of the House of Israel have already emigrated to the new world, North America, Australia and New Zealand etc. You will find a lot of the lost tribes around the bible belts of these nations.

British Israelists tend to blindly overlook where Edom is today. He is well represented in Germany. But He is also present in the New World. America and Britain and Australia also have much of the seed of Jacob’s brother Edom and many other bloodlines. According to Isaac’s blessing Edom is to serve his brother Jacob and thus lives close by. If the seed of Jacob is in Europe then Edom will be there. But if Jacob leaves for the New World, Edom will follow. And when it is time for Jacob to leave for Israel, Edom will oppose and Amalek will attack.

Be Prepared!

Firstly there are some things that must occur before the rapture including the bride making herself ready.

And before she is ready the nation of Israel must be established before the tribulation. This has happened in part already as the Jews have begun to return to their ancient land over the past one hundred years. Soon though the 10 lost tribes of the ‘House of Israel‘ shall return in like manner with fury poured out as already discussed above.

Perhaps it would be helpful to illustrate the regathering of Israel before we discuss the resurrection or rapture.

There is a pattern that has emerged with regard to the return of the Jews to the land that will also hold true to the regathering of the 10 lost tribes.
The Jews returned to the land as they were shaken out of their nations during the pogroms, world wars and Arab riots.

Israel & Babylon rising

At the same time as Israel is coming together the world is beginning to be united under the New World Order Illuminati Agenda. And at the same time as Israel is returning to the land, mankind is taking to the air and then space. This will have implications for Last Days Babylon.

So there are a number of developments that are occurring at the same time.

1. The Development of Flight
2. The Development of Babylon
3. The Development of Israel

Over the course of the World Wars 1,2, and 3 man is gaining access to higher and higher ‘ground’, that is, the human race is ascending into the air and into outer space. At the same time we see the early stages of the reestablishment of the City of Babylon in it’s Embryonic form within the League of Nations after World War 1 and then the United Nations after World War 2. After World War 3 we shall witness the rebuilding of the literal city of Babylon with great haste in the land of Shinar (Zechariah 5). Simultaneously as Babylon comes together so does Israel, Firstly as a Jewish Homeland under the British with the later approval of the League of Nations (Proto Babylon), then as the Jewish State with the approval of the United Nations (The next incarnation of Proto Babylon). Finally with the return of the Lost tribes after World War 3 we should not be at all suprised if a world government body in the Restored Babylon in what was Iraq approves of Greater Israel – if the pattern continues. It is only after Israel returns to the land that these organisations begin to undermine them as the United Nations has done consistently.

These three related developments of World War followed closely by a return to the land and growth of the nation of Israel coupled with the emergence of a Babylonian World body can be broken up into the four World Wars as follows;

1. WW1, National Flight, Jewish Homeland, League of Nations
2. WW2, International Flight, Jewish State, United Nations
3. WW3, LEO Space Flight, 10 Lost tribes Regathered, Last Days Babylon
   
   The Ezekiel 38 & 39 Gog Magog invasion will occur here, after WW3, after the 10 lost tribes have returned but before the tribulation. See further down this article for details. There is also a Gog Magog invasion after the 1000 year reign of Messiah Yeshua. Many people assume that Gog is human. I believe he is Angelic, a spiritual principality the intervenes bodily and marshals the troops in the far north, most likely Russia and the other Nations with him. After his first defeat he has another go when Satan is loosed after the 1000 year Millennial Reign of King Yeshua.
   
4. WW4 (7 year Tribulation), Inter-galactic & Inter-dimensional Space and Time travel, War in Heaven, Fall of Luciferic Angelic Hierarchy, Return of Messiah and His Church (Kohelleth), Kingdom of God on Earth.

Now why are two opposite things occurring? Why is Babylon coming together at the same time as Israel? Answer, because God is gradually separating the light from the darkness. In the end it shall be the 12 tribes of Israel versus the 70 nations in all out war and judgment of the tribulation. And there shall be separation between family members in Israel (both Jews and Lost tribes) during WW4 (tribulation) before Yeshua returns. 

51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:  52  For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.  53  The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Luke 12:51-53

Of course that is during the lead up to the tribulation. But we shall have the same going on during WW3 and and the regathering of the Lost tribes with ‘fury poured out‘ (Ezekiel 20).

So when is World War 3 & the Return of the lost tribes?

As to exact timing, your guess is as good as mine. I am not trying to give exact dates but a prophetic roadmap. And what I am trying to do here is warn sleepy Christians that there is a World War on the horizon which is well before the tribulation. And if you are not prepared to see major disruption coming to your life you may not be able to cope with it when it comes. 

You don’t need to be a prophet to see that there is a looming war coming with Islam and the West. This war will bring great judgement to the lost tribes. We will be squeezed by two forces in particular, Islam (Ishmael) and what is called the New World Order (Edom).

The regathering of Israel is part of the birth pangs of Messiah where nation rises against nation and kingdom against kingdom (Mathew 24), that is, ‘World War’. The bible doesn’t use the term ‘World War’ but it does describe the Lord bringing Israel out from amongst the countries where they are scattered. The prophet Ezekiel doesn’t go into the details of who is fighting who during World War 3 but he does say what the purpose of this is and that it is accompanied by ‘fury poured out‘ as I have tried to emphase in this article. 

Gathering Israel in the last days…

33 חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה אִם־לֹא בְּיָד חֲזָקָה וּבִזְרֹועַ נְטוּיָה וּבְחֵמָה שְׁפוּכָה אֶמְלֹוךְ עֲלֵיכֶֽם׃  34 וְהֹוצֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם מִן־הָעַמִּים וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן־הָאֲרָצֹות אֲשֶׁר נְפֹוצֹתֶם בָּם בְּיָד חֲזָקָה וּבִזְרֹועַ נְטוּיָה וּבְחֵמָה שְׁפוּכָֽה׃   וְהֵבֵאתִ֣י אֶתְכֶ֔ם אֶל־מִדְבַּ֖ר הָֽעַמִּ֑ים וְנִשְׁפַּטְתִּ֤י 35  אִתְּכֶם֙ שָׁ֔ם פָּנִ֖ים אֶל־פָּנִֽים׃  36  כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר נִשְׁפַּ֙טְתִּי֙ אֶת־אֲבֹ֣ותֵיכֶ֔ם בְּמִדְבַּ֖ר אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם כֵּ֚ן אִשָּׁפֵ֣ט אִתְּכֶ֔ם נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃  37  וְהַעֲבַרְתִּ֥י אֶתְכֶ֖ם תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑בֶט וְהֵבֵאתִ֥י אֶתְכֶ֖ם בְּמָסֹ֥רֶת הַבְּרִֽית׃  38  וּבָרֹותִ֣י מִכֶּ֗ם הַמֹּרְדִ֤ים וְהַפֹּֽושְׁעִים֙ בִּ֔י מֵאֶ֤רֶץ מְגֽוּרֵיהֶם֙ אֹוצִ֣יא אֹותָ֔ם וְאֶל־אַדְמַ֥ת יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֹ֣א יָבֹ֑וא וִֽידַעְתֶּ֖ם כִּי־אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

33 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:  34  And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched  out arm, and with fury poured out.  35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.  36  Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.  37  And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:  38  And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Ezekiel 20:33–38

We know that Islam is really the contention of Ishmael against Isaac. See the article ‘Ishmael, Wild Donkeys & the Arabs‘. And we know that the Ishmaelites and other Arab nations are confederate with ‘Esau (Edom) & Amalek (NAZI’s)‘ in the Psalm 83 Conspiracy & war. 

The west will turn against Islam, but it will also turn against Torah following believers in Yeshua. Much of the church leadership in America, Australia and elsewhere are actually wedded to the New World Order government elites and many of them are Free Masons. We have in the USA for example Rick Warren and his neo Fascist Dominionists, with a very Edomitish gospel of the Sword. They are not Torah based but are allied to Roman Catholicism through the Knights of Malta based in Europe. It is their hope to take over the World for Jesus. But what sort of Jesus is their Jesus, and what sort of gospel is their gospel? Do your own research on Dominionism and the Joel’s Army brigade. 

Many of the mainline Christians in America are poorly taught in the word. Pentecostals have never been really very well grounded in the Word in comparison to their more bookish Baptist counterparts. But Yesterday’s Pentecostals were once better taught than those of today. These days most of them, like Ephraim of old, feed on the wind and have chased every wind of doctrine along with gold dust. Regrettably the more word centred evangelicals like the Baptists are also fare game for deception. Both of course are hostile to a Torah based walk with Yeshua, or at least have been. And so even Patriotic Christian Americans could easily be duped into an unholy coalition with the Dominionists in order to fight a common foe, ‘Islam’. Americans and Australians will react against Islam only to fall into the clutches of the ‘New Agey’ Dominionists who are just a Christianized form of a compliant Whorish Church wedded to a bestial Totalitarian state. This totalitarian state shall take over during a period of National emergency, for instance a world war or natural disaster. FEMA is more than just an agency for civil emergencies, it has Orwellian overtones. Again you will have to do your own digging on these issues, there is much information these days on the internet on such subjects. 

Those that want to be faithful to the Torah and the gospel of Yeshua will be squeezed out of the cities and forced onto the mountains in the nations that they are scattered, and the pastors (idle shepherds) of the ‘House of Israel’ will drive them out (Ezekiel 34).  Read article titled ‘Without Spot or Wrinkle‘ for details.

When will World War 3 commence? My guess from current events is somewhere between 2011 and 2012. This will be followed by a time of terrible upheaval, war, natural disasters etc. Mark Biltz from El Shaddai ministries has produced the following diagram of Blood moons and solar Eclipses occurring during 2014 and 2015. These occur during actual feast days so it is very very very unusual and no doubt prophetic! It could be that this period is during the midst of World War 3 and the judgements upon the Jews and the lost tribes. The survivors of the House of Israel, the remnant of the 10 lost tribes will return after this fury is poured out (Ezekiel 34, Jeremiah 23). They will return to an enlarged Israel in the middle east.  

other clues that there is a regathering of Israel before the Tribulation

Land is as the garden of Eden

In Joel we are told of an army that seems to match the description in Revelation concerning the locusts released from the pit to hurt and later to kill men. 

A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

Joel 2:3

In order for the land to be like the Garden of Eden we will need someone tending it. The land of Israel has been desolate while Israel has been absent. Only since the return of the Jews has the land begun to be rejuvenated. However there are still large parts of Judea and Samaria that are quite desolate. So it there is more work to do in that regard. 

When the remnant of the lost tribes return to the land of Israel after World War 3 (but before the tribulation) there will be a period of national blessing and multiplication. The land will be further restored to it’s Edenic state. There are numerous prophecies about this. We know that some will be fully fulfilled during the Millennial Reign of Messiah Yeshua. But we know that some will be fulfilled before the tribulation because we are told that the land is already like the garden of Eden before the Army.The Remnant of Edom in Possession

In the book of Obadiah we are told of Edom’s eventual total destruction. This has not been fulfilled yet. It is not until Messiah Yeshua returns that Edom is destroyed. But we are told in Amos 9 that Israel will possess the remnant of Edom. This scripture must therefore be fulfilled before the tribulation and return of the King!!!

Amos 9:9-13  For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.  10  All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.  11  In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:  12  That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.  13  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

God has been sifting the lost tribes and Jews amongst the nations and will continue to do that until he returns them to the land. But before he does that he will destroy those sleepy Jews and lost tribes that think that nothing bad can happen to them. Then He will raise up the Tabernacle of David (the Temple and the Davidic Monarchy and even David himself). This may seem too incredible that the tabernacle of David will be restored before the tribulation but it is true and the clue is Edom is still in the picture. The temple shall be established in righteousness. This means the Levitical Priesthood will acknowledge Yeshua the Son of David and lead others to Him. This is what the raising of Lazarus symbolizes. The Kingdom is being restored in stages, the birthpangs of the Messiah.

We are told that Israel will possess the remnant of Edom. This cannot be after the tribulation! Most Christians are blind as to who Edom is. The Jews are much better informed. I have an entire series of articles about Edom here. 

Although Edom is Jacob’s brother, he is also his enemy. God Says that he hates Edom in Malachi. But here there is a remnant in possession along with the nations callled by the Lord’s name. What does this mean? It means that even in Edom and in the nations there is a righteous remnant that joins itself to Israel through the Messiah and subject themselves to His commandments. It is only right towards the end that Edom turns totally bad. We are commanded to love the Edomite proselyte. This can be on a true Israelite soul but it is the word of the Lord. And it is not right to afflict a righteous convert, even one from an enemy nation.

Notice too that there is going to be blessing on the land, the ‘plowman shall overtake the reaper‘, that is the formula for returning the land to it’s Edenic state. 

There is going to be a tremendous period of blessing and restoration after the total carnage of World War 3, after Islam is dealt a fatal blow and Paganised Christendom and the rest of the western world duke it out. 

Sometime after this period of national blessing and Davidic restoration there will come a period of apostasy and the man of sin is revealed and the tribulation thus follows. The temple is always established in righteousness and destroyed through wickedness.

The Gog & Magog Invasion

The Ezekiel 38 & 39 Gog Magog invasion will occur after WW3, after the 10 lost tribes have returned but before the tribulation (because the house of Israel is back in the land and the text says so. (We know that there is also a Gog Magog invasion after the 1000 year reign of Messiah Yeshua.) 

We read in the previous chapters of Ezekiel 36 & 37 that the ‘House of Israel‘ is raised up and joined to the ‘House of Judah‘. Then the David is raised from the dead. This ties in with the raising up of the fallen tabernacle of David. Most believe that this will happen at the beginning of the Millennial Reign of Yeshua. This may be the case in terms of David’s physical resurrection. However the raising up David’s fallen tabernacle may be partly fulfilled in the raising up of the House of David and the building of the temple. Amos chapter 9 ties the raising up of the fallen tabernacle of David with a period of prosperity and blessing that proceeds after a time of terrible judgement on Jacob. We know that this is before the tribulation because Israel is said to have possession of the remnant of Edom as stated earlier.

So Gog is going to invade the land of Israel after World War 3 once the lost tribes are back in the land and joined with the believing Jews that survive the devastating war where Jacob is made thin.  It is only the House of David combined with the raised up Priesthood of Eleazar/Zadock combined with the descendents of Joseph that can defeat Amalek and Edom. David won his victories against the Philistines and then the Edomites and then Amalek while the nation was united with all 12 tribes and the Priesthood and sacrificial system was in operation. In order to achieve victory once more Israel will need the unity of Psalm 133 in subjection to Messiah Yeshua.

Another strong clue as to the timing of the Gog Magog invasion is that the Israelites have to bury the dead for seven months (Ezekiel 39:11-15), not the sort of thing that you do during the tribulation. And then afterwards bones are still being discovered and sign posts are being placed by them by any Israelite that sees the remains so that someone can bury them (Ezekiel 39:15). Again this is not the sort of thing that you do when you are at war but during peace time after war. Then we are told that once this invading army is buried that the nations know that the ‘House of Israel’ went into captivity for their sins and that God has brought them back. These are the lost 10 tribes and the Jews under one king  (Two sticks of Judah and Israel have already been joined in previous chapter).

There is a very strong hint of Amalek in the Gog & Magog invasion because they are burried in a place called Hamon Gog in Israel (Ezekiel 39:11). Hamon Gog is an Anagram of ‘Hamon the Aggagite (Aggagi)’. Haman was from Agag who was from Amalek. Haman tried to liquidate the Jews but in the end, through Esther’s intercession, was destroyed and hung on his own gallows. 

Many people assume that Gog is human. I believe he is Angelic, a spiritual principality the intervenes bodily and marshals the troops in the far north, most likely Russia and the other Nations with him. After his first defeat he has another go when Satan is loosed after the 1000 year Millennial Reign of King Yeshua.  

The Bride – Lawful & Yeshua following Israel

After the regathering of the House of Israel, they shall be blessed in their land and multiply for a short while. There will be the Gog-Magog invasion and a time of peace afterwards. From then on virgin Israel must stay awake with oil in her lamp. The bride must make herself ready. There shall be a steady decline in the spiritual vigour of the reunited nation that shall lead to the tribulation itself. Yeshua warned us often of this time in the gospels.

WW3 and WW4 (Tribulation) are parallels where we have a remnant that is awake must prepare herself. But the difference is just a matter of degree. The WW3 Lost House remnant in America and Australia etc must prepare to leave their nations after the devastation of WW3. God will look after his remnant as he brings destruction upon a disobedient church leadership and nation.

But the preparation of the bride is related to the tribulation itself (WW4) and is a much greater cleansing and holiness! There will be no rapture until the bride has prepared herself. 

We are clearly told that the Antichrist will be revealed after the apostasy (falling away). Some have interpreted falling away as ‘catching away’, that is, the rapture/resurrection. This doesn’t make sense in context.

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;  4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

So at the very least there will be believers from the church that will be alive and witness the coming of the man of sin. This time of revealing must be just before the first seal is opened and the rider on the white horse is released.

There is a resurrection of the two witnesses midway through the tribulation. And at the same time the Woman with the 12 stars about her head shall give birth the man child. This masculine entity will be taken directly to heaven. It is the fulfilment of the promise to the overcomers of the church of Thyatira (Revelation 2:27) and Psalm 2. This remnant shall rule with a rod of Iron. They are raptured! A nation shall be born in one day (Isaiah 66:8).

At the end of the 7 year tribulation (WW4). The Righteous dead shall be raised including the Old Testament saints and the tribulation martyrs and they shall partake of the marriage feast of the lamb (but they are guests, they are not the bride of the Messiah).

The whore – Babylon – the World & unbelieving Israel

A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. The religion of Babylon has infected the whole earth and even affected the practices and beliefs of the Jews and the lost tribes. We can clearly see it in Catholicism and Rabbinical Judaism which are both a mixture of the Bible and the traditions of men.

Both Islam and Catholic Christianity will be annihilated during WW3. The Vatican and Mecca will burn. But the inner pagan core of both religions, the sun & moon god will not go away. They will merely change form. The inner core of both these religions will be established in the land of Shinar when wickedness returns to her place (Zechariah 5). Literal Babylon will be set up in Iraq after WW3.

Babylon has a commercial nature as well as a spiritual nature and so it can be seen in the world trading systems including the stock markets, banking, finance, godless corporations. And it can be seen in the Roman and Greek based legal systems.

Babylon, the literal city, will be the hold of every unclean bird. It shall be a place where the old gods (so called) shall return from the sky. People have been prepared through movies and TV for this through all the sci-fi alien type shows. There shall be an unveiling of things as time progresses during and after WW3 in preparation for WW4 (the 7 year tribulation). Babylon will be the seat of AntiChrist’s short lived Kingdom.

The Return of the King

King Yeshua shall return to this earth in glory with His Angels and the Saints (Kadoshim) to take this world by force. Every eye shall see him and every tongue confess that He is lord.

He shall rescue his sheep held in Bozrah by Edom and destroy Edom completely. As the Priest anointed for War (Deuteronomy 20) He shall have his garments splatted in the blood of His enemies (Isaiah 63:1). The descendants of Judah and Joseph who return from heaven with their king shall burn out the House of Edom (Obadiah 1:18). The saints that return with Yeshua the Son of David are referred to as saviours (plural) in Obadiah.

And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau;
and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.
