BIBLICAL PROOF OF A PRE TRIBULATION CATCHING AWAY WITH OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES, AND A HEBRAIC PERSPECTIVE. AS A REWARD FOR OVER COMERS, NOT A BLESSING UNTO SALVATION. THESE TRUTHS ABSOLUTELY DESTROY THE EXAGGERATED GRACE DOCTRINE OF DEVILS THAT HAS WEAKENED THE BODY OF CHRIST AND TAKEN THE POWER OUT OF MANY OF THE CHURCHES THAT WERE KNOWN IN THE PAST TO MOVE IN GODS POWER AND ANOINTING. I HAVE NOTICED NEARLY ALL OF THOSE CRITICAL OF THIS POST HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO READ IT. THEY SIMPLY CRITICIZE BASED ON PRE CONCEIVED BELIEFS, AND SOMETIMES POST SOME PET VERSES TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT OR THAT THEY LACK UNDERSTANDING ON, WITH NO DIVINE REVELATION. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hosea 4:6 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who Proverbs 29:18 21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom. Proverbs 10:21 NOTE: ABOUT 15% OF THIS TEACHING IS NOT COMPLETE YET. I KNOW THAT THIS SUBJECT IS ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECTS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. BECAUSE ITS CRUCIAL TO GOD FOR THE BRIDE TO MAKE IT TO HEAVEN THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS ASKED ME TO PREACH AND TEACH THIS AS HE HEALS THE HEART OF THE BRIDE IN REVIVALS AND THE COMING OUTPOURING. THIS MAY COME AS A SHOCK TO MANY OF YOU BUT THE LORD TOLD ME IF THIS EVENT HAPPENED TODAY THAT OVER 95% OF THE CHURCH WOULD NOT GO, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT MUST HEAL THE HEART OF THE BRIDE TO CHANGE THAT. THIS IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY REASONS FOR THE END TIME OUTPOURING, IN THE MERCY OF THE LORD. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DONT BELIEVE IN THE CATCHING AWAY, EVERYTHING IN THE KINGDOM REQUIRES FAITH SO I PRAY THAT YOU WILL GET A REVELATION. IF NOT PREPARE TO DIE A MARTYR IN THE TRIBULATION AND REFUSE HE MARK OF THE BEAST AND DO NOT DENY JESUS OR HE WILL DENY YOU TO THE FATHER. FOR THOSE THAT REFUSE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT MID OR POST TRIB. MAKE SURE YOU GET READY NOW, AND KEEP LOOKING UP FOR HIS COMING AND YOU WILL BE FINE. OTHERWISE YOU TOO MAY FIND YOURSELF IN THE TRIB. IM CONVINCED WHATS IN THIS TEACHING IS A OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF BIBLICAL EVIDENCE TO CONVINCE MOST SKEPTICS. I DONT KNOW WHATS IN A MANS HEART, BUT IT SEEMS MANY THAT TEACH CONTRARY TO THIS ARE SAYING GOD IS A LIAR IN HIS WORD. WE WILL BE JUDGED HARSHER AS TEACHERS AND PREACHERS BECAUSE WE HAVE A GREATER KNOWLEDGE, OR WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE. I HAVE FOUND THAT MOST WITH CRITICAL RESPONSES THIS HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO READ IT ALL THE WAY THRU. THEIR HEART IS HARDENED TO THEIR, TEACHING OR OPINION THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE PRECONCEIVED IN THEIR MIND, AND THEY CANNOT BIBLICALLY SUPPORT THAT FEELING. ITS A LONG READ BUT WELL WORTH YOUR YOUR TIME. I HAVE NOT FOUND A TEACHING THIS DEEP OR THOROUGH TO DATE. ITS ALL FACTS AND BIBLICALLY SOUND, WITHOUT ALL THE FLUFF AND OF A BOOK. I HAVE NOTHING TO PERSONALLY GAIN FROM THIS BUT THE KINGDOM AND A CROWN. IM NOT INTERESTED IN FAME OR RICHES. BLESSINGS AND LOVE IN CHRIST TO YALL. The Book Of Revelation is the first of many clues of a Pre Tribulation Catching Away. Why? First it is written in chronological order and after talking about the 7 Churches in Rev. 2 and 3 John no longer mentions The Church a door is closed and The Church is caught up into Heaven. Lets examine Revelation 2 and 3. Jesus rebukes and warns 5 of the 7 Churches and only praises 2 of them. 7 Blessings are promised by Jesus to those that overcome. All seven of the blessings are Heavenly Blessings which means we have to make it to Heaven to receive them. There are only two ways to get to Heaven which is we either must die or be caught up to Heaven. The 7 blessings are: TO HE THAT OVER COMETH. 1. Will eat of The Tree Of Life. Revelation 2: 2. Will not be hurt by the 2nd. Death. Revelation 2:11 3. Will eat the hidden manna, and be given a white stone with a new name written in it. Revelation 2:17 4. Will be given power over the nations. Revelation 2:26 5. Will be clothed in white raiment, and not be blotted out of The Book Of Life. But Jesus will confess their name before The Father and the Angels. This presents a problem for the once saved always saved doctrine. It makes it clear that ones name can INFACT BE BLOTED OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, AND IF OUR SINS ARE ALREADY FORGIVEN IN ADVANCE HOW IS IT THAT JESUS SAYS WE MUST OVERCOME TO BE CAUGHT UP. Revelation 3:5 6. Will sit with Jesus on His thrown as He sat with His Father at His Thrown when He over cometh. Revelation 3:21 7. Will inherit all things. Revelation 21:7 On the other side of the scale those that are not overcomers are those that repent not and: 1. Leave their first love. 2. Being Luke Warm, not being on fire for God. 3. Holding false doctrine. 4. Faint in well doing. 5. Dont Endure tribulation. 6. Deny the faith. 7. Not keeping GODS Word/COMMANDMENTS A OVERCOMER OVERCOMES THESE THINGS. Jesus says he will remove their candlesticks, puke them out of His mouth, fight them with the sword in His mouth, blot their name out of the book of life, CAST THEM INTO GREAT TRIBULATION, Etc. If they do not repent. IF THEY ARE NOT CAST INTO GREAT TRIBULATION IF THEY REPENT DOES THIS NOT MEAN THAT THEY WILL BE CAUGHT UP. THIS FACT ALONE IS ALREADY A CLEAR INDICATION OF A PRE TRIBULATION CATCHING AWAY AND WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED. The list goes on. Jesus only complements 2 of the churches and rebukes the other 5. There are many other things that are listed by Paul in the epistles, also Revelation 21:8, and in the Gospels. I think most of us know what sin is. The reason though that theres no power in most of the Church including the Pentecostal and Charismatic churches is because too many are believing, teaching, and preaching the EXAGGERATED GRACE DOCTRINE. I only know a few that believe that doctrine and are still walking close to the Lord as Overcomers and are CARRIERS OF THE GLORY OF GOD, so that a powerful anointing actually flows thru them. Those that think they dont need to repent from their sin have a huge problem in what the Apostles said to the Churches, what Jesus said to the seven Churches in Revelation 2-3, and what Jesus said in Rev.21.8, what Jesus also said in the parables, and what he said said in the Gospels. Such as you are my friend only if you obey my commandments. John 15:14, 1 John 5:3. This means we must walk in Holiness and right standing with God, in repentance when we mess up. Then The Lords Grace and Righteousness will surly cover our short comings. Truth is once saved always saved doctrine is preached mostly by seeker friendly preachers, most of which are knee deep in sin themselves and otherwise afraid to preach the truth and those deceived by this group mostly are as well. Everywhere I go I find a large percentage of CHRISTIANS that need deliverance and their hearts healed The Exaggerated Grace Preachers Have cherry picked a few pet verses to try to prove their point, and if you read and believe and do The Bible as a whole, most of you will agree that the Exaggerated Grace message is clearly a lie from the Pits Of Hell. So this being said lets look at the parables. MATTHEW 7:21-24 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: This is referring to those which many have actually carried the Anointing Of The Lord. When Jesus says He never knew them if you look up knew in the HEBREW and The Greek it means to have a intimate relationship with, as we have with our spouse. Jesus is saying that he never had a intimate walk with them. This is a scary verse that destroys the EXAGGERATED GRACE DOCTRINE. In verse 24 Jesus is the rock that a wise man builds his house on. MATTHEW 24:37-51 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Luke 12:37-48 Like the days of Lot, and Noah so shall these days be. One woman taken in the field one left, One woman taken in the mill one left. If the goodman new when the thief cometh his house would not be broken up. Jesus will come like a thief in the night. Blessed will be the servant doing what he is supposed to when his Lord comes. The others will be appointed their portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Well if I found myself in the Trib. Thats what I would be doing. 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47 And that servant, which knew his lords will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. THE PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS IS A CATCHING AWAY PARABLE. 1 THEN shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Mathew 25:1-13 They were not ready. The oil could refer to the oil of The Holy Spirit. Of course we cannot buy that, although people try, look at Simon the Sorcerer. Bottom line they were not ready. It clearly states there was a door that was shut. The Wedding Feast Of The Lamb is defiantly being held in Heaven at The Fathers house as is JEWISH tradition. Just as when Johns Spirit was caught up into Heaven at the beginning of Revelation 4, there was A DOOR THAT OPENED. This Door is to The Wedding Chamber of The Bridegrooms Fathers House. THE NEXT PARABLE IS THE UNPROFITABLE SERVANT. 14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. 16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lords money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. HE WAS CAST INTO OUTER DARKNESS WHICH IS THE TRIBULATION. THIS PARABLE IS A VISUAL OF THE SEPARATION, OF THE CATCHING AWAY. Also in the parables there are examples of separation. Good fish from bad fish, sheep from goats, and wheat from thorns. What do all these things have in common, they are all found together. Some of the separation takes place at the catching away, the rest takes place in the Tribulation and when Jesus returns to rule and reign. In the Church we have wheat and thorns, sheep and goats, good fish, and bad fish. In Jesus day they had a long board with small stones glued under it, that a mule was walked back and across it. This separated the hard shell from the wheat. THIS IS CALLED A TRIBULUM IN THE LATIN, THE ROOT WORD FOR THE TRIBULATION. 1 AND Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen. THIS IS IMPLYING THAT THOSE THAT DO NOT HAVE A SPOTLESS WEDDING GARMENT WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE WILL BE CAST INTO THE OUTER DARKNESS OF THE TRIBULATION FOR MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN. BECAUSE FEW CHOOSE TO BE CHOSEN. IN MATTHEW 18 THE EVIL SERVANT DID NOT FORGIVE AFTER HE WAS FORGIVEN. HE WAS GIVEN TO THE TORMENTORS WHICH COULD BE A VISUAL OF THE TRIBULATION, OR ONE CAN ALSO BE LOST TO HELL FOR UNFORGIVNESS ACCORDING TO JESUS. 35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. Luke 12:35-38 THIS MAKES IT CLEAR THAT WE NEED TO BE WATCHING FOR OUR LORDS RETURN. Now before we look at more NT scripture on the Catching Away, lets look at some OT verses that most people dont even know exists on the Catching Away. 16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. Malachi 3:16-18 NOT ONLY IS THERE A CATCHING AWAY, BUT THERE IS A BOOK IN HEAVEN FOR THOSE GOING. THIS IS ONE OF AT LEAST SIX BOOKS IN HEAVEN. THEY ARE: I will substantiate with further verses that the Book Of Remembrance is for those that will be caught to Heaven in The Catching Away. 1. The Lambs Book Of Life. Rev. 3:5, 20 2. The Book Of The Living. Isa.4:3 3. The Book Of Deeds. Rev. 20 4. The Book Of Wars Of The Lord. Ps.69:28 5. The Book Of Remembrance. Malachi 3:16-18 6. THE BOOK OF TEARS. Psalms 56:8 THE BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE IS THE BOOK LISTING THOSE TO BE CAUGHT UP. 16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. Malachi 3:16-18 WHAT DID THEY DO? 1. They gave, according to previous verses in same chapter. 2. They feared God and kept His commandments. 3. They witnessed one to another, they loved and meditated on The Name Of The Lord. 4. They served God. IN THE DAY THESE BOOKS WERE WRITTEN THERE WERE NO CHAPTERS, IT WAS ALL ONE LETTER. CHAPTERS WERE ADDED LATER. Malachi 4 goes on to talk all about the tribulation, right after we hear about being spared from this if we are in The Book Of Remembrance. 1 FOR, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. 4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. Malachi 4:1-6 13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! 14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Job 14:13-14 LOOK AT THAT, IT SAYS REMEMBER ME!!! From the inspiration of The Holy Spirit Job knew WRITE ABOUT praying that the LORD REMEMBER HIM, and keep IN SECRET HIDING UNTIL HIS WRATH WAS PAST, about the changing in a twinkling of an eye, and about an appointed time. Job is the oldest book in the Bible. 2 God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. Nahum 1:2 The Lamb pours out His wrath in the first part of the Tribulation the Father pours out His wrath in the second part of the Tribulation. This starts in Revelation 6:1-17 The above verse and several NT Scriptures make it clear that God reserves His wrath for His enemies. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Revelation 6:15-17. THE LAMBS WRATH BEING POURED OUT EARLY. Nahum 1:2 clearly says that Gods wrath is not for us but reserved for His enemies. God has no wrath for those of us that are obedient to Jesus. He took all the wrath there was for us AND GAVE IT TO JESUS on the cross. As long as we remain in Christ Jesus all that He has for us is LOVE. Here are the other versus that clearly show that we are not subject to His wrath, so like all the other times in the bible the Lord will once again separate His Overcomers. Here are other verses supporting this verse that we are not subject to the Lords wrath. 18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORDs wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land. Zephaniah 1:18 WHY WOULD HE NOT CATCH US AWAY IF HE IS GOING MAKE SPEEDY RIDDANCE OF THOSE LEFT IN THE TRIB. THE TRIBULATION IS A SEPARATING FORCE. Supporting NT verses. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; ROMANS 1:18 8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: ROMANS 2:8-10 HERES INDIGNATION, AND WRATH TO ALL THOSE THAT ARE EVIL AND THOSE THAT DO NOT OBEY THE TRUTH. TAKE NOTE YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THAT WORD INDIGNATION IN SOME COMING VERSES. ITS PROMISING THEM THAT DO EVIL TRIBULATION, BUT ONCE AGAIN SEPARATING THEM THAT WORKETH GOOD. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Ephesians 5:6 AGAIN WRATH ON THE DISOBEDIENT NOT THE RIGHTEOUS. 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thessalonians 5:9 WE ARE NOT APPOINTED TO GODS WRATH. VERY, VERY CLEAR. 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Ephesians 2:3 THOSE NOT IN CHRIST ARE CHILDREN OF WRATH. GENESES 29 DESCRIBES JACOBS TROUBLE FOR TWO WEEKS, (2 SEVEN YEAR PERIODS) THAT HE HAD TO SERVE. ONE WEEK (SEVEN YEARS) FOR THE WIFE THAT WAS NOT PRETTY, AND ANOTHER WEEK (7 years) FOR HER SISTER THAT HE WANTED, AND THOUGHT THAT HE WAS GETTING ORIGINALLY. THEN Jeramiah 30:7 SAYS THAT TROUBLE IS COMING TO JACOB (ISRAEL) AGAIN. 7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacobs trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. Jeramiah 30:7 Just like in ROMANS 11, and The Book Of Revelation says, this says ISRAEL will be saved. Rabbis say that Jacobs trouble was with the Holocaust, which birthed the Nation Of Israel being pulled back together from the 4 corners of the Earth as Bible Prophecy predicted. But there is one more 7 year period coming which is the tribulation which will birth the 2nd. Coming of The MESIAH. THIS IS JACOBS TROUBLE (ISRAELS) NOT THE CHURCHS. TEN REASONS WHY THERE WILL BE A PRE TRIBULATION CATCHING AWAY. 1.Tribulation is Jacobs trouble not for the Church. Jeramiah 30:7 2.Tribulation time to judge nations for their sin. not the Church. Rev. 11:18 3.Tribulation is time to destroy the sinners, not Christians. ISAHAH 13:9 4.Tribulation to bring a remnant Tribe of the Jewish Through the fire Isaiah 1:9, not the Bride. 5.Church not appointed to wrath. Lamb pours out His wrath 1st. Half of Tribulation The Father pours His wrath out 2nd. half of Trib. 1Thesoilonians 5:9 6.The Lord said we should pray to escape these things. If no escape He would not ask us to pray for escape. Luke 21:36 7. Revelation 3:10 The Lord said He would keep us from the hour of testing that will come onto all those on the Earth. He said He would keep us from it, not in it. 8.Hebrews 4:9 a rest for Gods people. Greek word for rest Sabaton which is where SABATH comes from. Theres a eternal rest/Sabath for Gods people in Heaven. 9. Marriage supper of the lamb is in Heaven, Bride needs to be there. 10. The Bema Judgement is in Heaven, during Mid Trib. The Bride needs to be there. Revelation 11 19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. 20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. 21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. Isaiah 26:19-21 THESE OT VERSES MIRROR 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 It talks about The Resurrection Of The Dead In Christ, It talks about The Door as it does in Rev. 4:1 and MATTHEW 25:1-13 The Parable Of The 10 Virgins it says THEY WENT INTO THE CHAMBERS AND SHUT THE DOOR. It uses that word indignation again, and it also says The Earth Shall Disclose The Blood of those slain just as it does in Revelation. MOST IMPORTANTLY IT SAYS TO COME INTO THE LORDS CHAMBERS AND HIDE THYSELF FROM THE INDIGNATION. THE BRIDEGROOMS WEDDING CHAMBERS. In Judaism when a man and woman get married, they go into a WEDDING CHAMBER at The Fathers House with a canopy called the Hoppa and SHUT THE DOOR and consummate their marriage. EXODUS 19 IS MIRRORED TO THE COMING CATCHING AWAY. MOSES WENT UP MT. SINAI TO MEET WITH THE LORD FOR THE LAW. PAUL WENT UP MT. SINAI IN ARABIA FOR THREE YEARS AND CAME BACK AND WROTE ABOUT THE RETURN OF THE LORD AND THE CATCHING AWAY THRU OUT 1 THESSALONIANS WHICH WAS THE FIRST EPISTLE WRITTEN, AS THEY ARE NOT IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. THE LORD GAVE PAUL THE REVELATION ON MT. SINAI OF THE CATCHING AWAY. HERE ARE NINE EXAMPLES. 1. ISRAEL is called a peculiar people. Exodus 19:5 The Church is called a peculiar people. 1 Peter 2:9 2. ISRAEL is called a Holy Nation. Exodus 19:6 The Church is a Holy Nation. 1 Peter 2:9 3. ISRAEL Is a Kingdom of Priests. Exodus 19:6 The Church is Kings and Priests To The Lord. Revelation 1:6 4. The Lord came on the third day. Exodus 19:11 The Lord raises us up on the third day. Hosea 6:1-3 5. The Lords voice was as a trumpet. Exodus19:16 The Lord shall descended from Heaven with the Trump Of God. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 6. The Lord came down in the clouds. Exodus 19:16 Jesus will come down in the clouds. Acts 1:9-10 7. The Lord answered Moses in a voice. Exodus 19:19 There will be a voice of the Arch Angel. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 8. The Lord descended in fire. Exodus 19:20 Jesus will descend in a flaming fire. 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 9. The Lord came down and Moses came up. Exodus 19:20 The Saints will be caught up to meet The Lord who comes down in the air. THERE ARE 4 REASONS WHY MANY BELIEVE THAT THE CATCHING AWAY IS MID TRIB OR POST TRIB. POST TRIB. ABSOLUTELY MAKES NO SENSE. THAT WOULD MEAN GOD WOULD MAKE US GO THRU THE ENTIRE TRIB. AND BRING US UP TO HEAVEN JUST TO DO A U TURN AND COME RIHGT BACK. THE FOUR REASONS WHY ARE: 1. Some people believe that The Last Trump described by Paul in 1 CORINTHIANS 15:52 correlates with the 7th. Trump of The Angels in the Book Of Revelation. Not true and I will show you why. 2. Some people believe that MATHEW 24 puts the Catching Away Post TRIB. Also not correct and I will show you why. 3. Some people believe that MATHEW 13:30 proves that the left behind doctrine is false. This too is defiantly not the case and Ill show you why. IN FACT MATTHEW 13:30 PROVES THE OPPOSITE, IT PROVES THE LEFT BEHIND DOCTRINE TRUE. OHHH THE DEVIL IS A LIAR. 4. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 According to this there will be a falling away first. We are defiantly seeing that right now. Ive heard Prophecy Teachers say that nothing needs to happen for the Catching Away to take place. Thats not correct. The Anti Christ must be revealed first. I believe that will be occurring in the very near future, I evan dare to say 2015. We will see very soon if thats correct. Now another thing I have heard people say theres no temple yet. Thats right and there does not need to be one up and running until just before mid TRIB. Mid Trib. Is when the Man Of Perdition is going to stop animal sacrifices, appear in the temple and say he is God, and break the peace treaty. From what I hear the temple construction is already in planning, and Im sure the Temple Mount will be involved in the Peace treaty. This does not preclude a Pre Trib Catching Away. 1 Corinthians 15:52-53 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. NOW MANY INCORRECTLY THINK THIS REFERS TO THE 7Th. TRUMP OF THE ANGEL IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION. ITS NOT THE TRUMP OF A ANGEL. ITS THE TRUMP OF GOD. LETS CROSS IT WITH 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16-17 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 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. Remember in Revelation 4 when John said Gods voice sounded like a Trumpet. This could either be The Voice Of God, or a Trump Of God. IT IS CLEARLY NOT THE TRUMP OF A ANGEL. When the verse refers to the last trump its talking about The Last Trump at The Feast Of Trumpets. Let me explain. First let me say because we are from The West we look at The Bible. Thru Western Eyes. The Bible was written by Jews, its focused at ISRAEL and surrounding areas, Jesus was a Jew. When God spoke to them and Jesus taught them they did so in terms and words that they would understand and relate to. They had Middle Eastern understanding and eyes. We get confused on so many things and it almost seems that the Bible conflicts with itself because we are looking at it with western eyes not Middle Eastern eyes, understanding JEWISH traditions and customs. So when some things get explained from a Hebraic perspective it can clarify things immensely. THE LORD uses His Feast Days to mark Biblical Events, and to mark His Signs In The Heavens. Heres the picture. Passover represents The Blood. Pentecost represents The Holy Spirit. Tabernacles is the Kingdom. YOU HAD 3 FEASTS OF THE LORD THAT YOU CELEBRATED WITH YOUR HARVEST CYCLES EACH YEAR. 1. PASSOVER. 2. PENTECOST. 3. TABERNACLES. Each one of these feasts have a special harvest that go with it. Passover is barley. Harvested in March and April. Pentecost is wheat. Harvested in May and June. Tabernacles is fruit. Its called the ingathering. Harvested in August, and September. Here is The Sequence Of Events for The End Time Harvest. They all have to be harvested in a different manner. Wheat is winnowed. You shake kit, throw it up in the air, and the wind separates the stock and chaff off it. Barley has a hard shell. In Jesus day they a log board with gravel glued to the bottom of it. They would put the gravel side on the wheat and walk a mile over the board, separating the shell and stalk from it. This board was called a TRIBULUM which is the Latin root word for tribulation. The Grapes are crushed. In the Harvest Field you have 3 Harvest Cycles. 1. You harvest The First Fruits first, separate them and take them to the Temple Storehouse first. 2. Then you count the Omar. Harvesting the field however leaving the four corners. (God commanded the four corners be left for the poor) In MATTHEW 24 when Jesus says He sends His Angels at the sound of a trump you say thats the Catching Away, but no thats the gleaning of 4 corners, which is the last part of the harvest. Here is the picture. Barley Harvest you have no levin at passover, levin is representative of sin. You have a 7 day period of no levin representing our seven years in Heaven. At Pentecost you have levin when your 144,000 go into the Tribulation. They are dealing with levin/sin on the earth. They are Caught Up INTO HEAVEN in Revelation 14. The Grape Harvest is in Revelation 14:20. Called The Wine Press Of The Wrath Of God. Angels were throwing grapes in the wine press at the end of the Tribulation. The Barely Harvest has no levin, thats the Overcomers that are Caught Up. 144,000 Jews go into the Tribulation. But they are Caught Up into Heaven in Revelation 14. Then again at the end of the Tribulation God sends His Angels to get the four corners which are the remains after the harvest. Now the Last Trump can also be describing the Last Trump at The Feast Of Trumpets. 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Matthew 13:25-30 NOW SOME SAY THE LEFT BEHIND TEACHING IS FALSE BASED ON THE ABOVE VERSES. BUT THEY INFACT ERROR IN THIS TEACHING. THIS IS WHY. As you can see in the harvest teaching the Harvest begins at The Catching Away, and cycles thru the Tribulation. The Tribulation from the first Catching Away that begins it, to the Christians that are Martyred all the way thru there is a separating force. The thorns are left in the Tribulation at The Catching Away that is being bunched up together. The Tribulation Scriptures continually talk about the land and many of those on it being burned by Gods wrath. Therefore MATHEW 13:25-30 supports the Left Behind Teaching, it does not conflict with it. HERE ARE 3 PARAEL APPLICATIONS TO OUR 7 YEARS IN HEAVEN. 1. 6 Days of creation represent 6 1000 year periods. We have had roughly 6000 years since Adams creation. The sentence thousandth year is The Millinium Reign of Christ. THE SEVEN DAYS OF CREATION ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF 7000 YEARS. 2. ENOCH WAS THE SEVENTH MAN FROM ADAM AND ENOCH PLEASED GOD SO ENOUCH WAS CAUGHT UP. (TRANSLATED) In the Greek translated is transfer, transported, or change sides. In Hebrew took him as in God took him, to carry away, to seize by force upward, to take up. The tradition of the JEWS is that Enoch was born and also caught up on Passover. 3. The 7 days of creation are representative of The 7 Years that we are going to be in Heaven. The Church has been on Pentecost for two thousand years. PROPHETICALLY THE NEXT FEAST TO BE FULFILLED IS THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS. This Feast is described in Leviticus 23. This is also known as Rosh Hashanah. Its the JEWISH New Year. The name Rosh Hashanah is not used in the Bible to discuss this holiday. The Bible refers to the holiday as Yom Ha-Zikkaron (the day of remembrance) or Yom Teruah (the day of the sounding of the shofar). The holiday is instituted. IS IT A COINCIDENCE THAT THIS IS CALLED THE DAY OF REMEMBRANCE, AND THOSE BEING CAUGHT UP ARE IN THE BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE? There are 100 Shofar Blasts. THE LAST TRUMP IS THE LONGEST AND THE LOUDEST, AT LEAST 10 SECONDS. EXODUS 19 THE MIRRORS THE CATCHING AWAY. EXODUS 19 TALKS ABOUT A LONG, LOUD TRUMPET BLAST. IN JESUS TIME TWO DAYS WOULD BE MARKED OFF FOR THIS FEAST, AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO WATCH FOR THE SLIVER OF THE NEW MOON, FOR IT TO START. SO NO MAN KNEW THE DAY OR THE HOUR! IT MARKS THE DAY OF ADAMS CREATION. The Hebrew name for Rosh HaShanah is Yom Teruah or the day of the awakening blast. Followed by the Days of Awe. This alone presents a strong case for a Pre Trib. Catching Away. THE CORONATION OF THE KING, the resurrection of the dead, the joy of the Messianic kingdom, and the wedding of the Messiah are among the many themes associated with Rosh HaShanah. A strong theme to associate with Teruah is to awake. Teruah can be translated shout. These themes are a remembrance of 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 This passage is full of HEBREW idoms that especially associate with Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets and therefore this passage is cultural evidence that Rosh HaShanah will be the appointed day of the Catching Away of The Bride, and the Resurrection Of The Dead In Christ. Since a significant theme of Rosh HaShanah is that of the wedding of the Messiah, allows us to look at the ancient customs associated with the Jewish wedding ceremony to see if there are practices that relate with the many themes of this festival. Prior to the actual betrothal (a important legal transaction), the woman accept mans proposal of marriage by drinking a cup of wine. This is why Jesus passed the cup of wine at the Last Supper. When we partake of the wine of communion we are accepting Jesus as our groom. We are to remember Him, and not whore ourselves, soiling our wedding garments. The man would then pay a bride price. Jesus paid the ultimate price for us with His life. The man would then give his betrothed gifts. Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit, Gifts Of The Spirit, and many other gifts and blessings. The man would then leave for a period of one to two years to go build a place for us - a wedding chamber, (THE HOOPA) 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John:14:3 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Peter 3:8 Within 2 days or 2000 years Jesus will return for His bride! When the wedding chamber is complete the Bridegroom picks up his Bride at midnight with a host of people with him both shouting and blowing the shofar. He takes the Bride to the wedding chamber called the Hoopa. Notice that the bride is taken from her familiar setting to a place where she has never been to, the home of the Bridegrooms Father. They would immediately go to the marriage supper and then enter the Hoppa ( Wedding Chamber) for a period of seven days to consummate the marriage. ROSH HASHANA IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE DAY OF OUR CONCEALMENT. THE SEVEN DAYS THAT WE ARE CONCEALED CORRESPOND WITH THE SEVEN YEARS THE TRIBULATION IS UNLEASHED UNTO A UNBELIEVING WORLD. When the seven days are complete TENS OF THOUSANDS OF US SAINTS WILL RETURN WITH JESUS. Yom Kippur and Tabernacles will find their prophetic fulfillment. MOST people believe that we will not know the day or the hour of His appearing. They dont realize however, that this phrase taken from Matthew 24:36 is an actual common Hebrew idiom for Rosh HaShanah. Jesus audience fully understood that what Jesus was saying was I will come again on Rosh HaShanah at some point in the future. It would be like saying in America, Ill see you again when we gather together to exchange presents. Or as Arnold says: ILL BE BACK!!! We automatically know that we are referring to Christmas. In like manner, we can expect to see our Messiah on a future Rosh HaShanah. All the end time events are divinely planned and are not happening by accident. Furthermore, The Catching Away will occur at an appointed time and God has revealed to us what the appointed times were and are in Leviticus 23 in His Festivals. On some Rosh HaShanah at the final blast of the shofar we will hear the shout of the archangel, and The Trump Of God, and we will dwell intimately in the presence of Jesus, while the Days of Awe and Hell are unleashed upon the earth. ANOTHER THING IN JUDAISM WHEN A BRIDEGROOM TAKES A BRIDE IN MARRIAGE HE CANNOT GO TO WAR OR WORK FOR ONE YEAR THAT HE TAKES TO CHEER THE BRIDE UP. This means we have to be in Heaven with Jesus that year before He returns with tens of thousands of His saints to fight The Battle Of Armageddon. 5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken. Deuteronomy 25:5 The sixth year in Heaven is the destruction of Mystery Babylon which Im fairly certain is whats left of the United States, which the present administration The Lord has rewarded us is presently doing a great job of destroying, which very soon will manifest in its fullness. THE SEVENTH YEAR THE BRIDE MUST BE IN HEAVEN FOR OUR SHABOT (rest) WITH YHE GROOM. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE A ONE YEAR WEDDING SUPPER. WHAT A PARTY THAT. WILL BE. IN THE PASSOVER FEAST OF THE LORD THEY HAVE 4 CUPS EACH IS IDENTIFIED. Cup#4 is turned upside down. JEWISH families send a child outside each time to see if The Prophet Elijah is there. If he is there Elijah will come in and turn the cup right side up. JESUS ONLY NAMED 3 CUPS. Then the last cup that Jesus drank from He said was the last cup of suffering He said you will not be able to drink of this. I will not drink from it again until I drink of it anew with you in The Kingdom. ITS THE CUP OF CONSUMMATION. IF JESUS THOUGHT THE BRIDE WAS GOING TO BE HERE WHEN THE PROPHET ELIJAH SHOWS UP HE WOULD HAVE HAD THE FORTH UPSIDE DOWN CUP PRESENT. Then Revelation nineteen. Tens of thousands of Saint come back as The Armies Of Heaven to watch the Anti Christ and his armies take their last butt whipping. Those In Christ go back go rule as Kings and Priests for the 1000 year reign of Christ. So let look at The New Testament Catching Away Bible verses. Like Jesus turning water to wine we saved YHE best for last. THE FOLLOWING VERSE CAME FROM THE FIRST OF FOURTEEN EPISTLES THAT PAUL WROTE. HE RECEIVED THESE REVELATIONS IN THE 3 YEARS HE SPENT WITH THE LORD GETTING REVELATION ON MT. SINAI, WHERE MOSES WENT UP TO MEET WITH THE LORD AS MENTIONED IN GALATIANS. JESUS SAID LET ME TELL YOU HOW IM GOING TO CATCH UP MY BRIDE. THE EPISTLES ARE NOT IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 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 4:16-17 THE GREEK FOR CAUGHT UP IS HARPAZO IT MEANS TO SNATCH UP BY FORCE. ANOTHER MEANING IS TO YANK SOMEONE BY THE HAIR OUT OF DANGERS WAY. THIS PRETTY MUCH SAYS IT ALL. Heres THE NEXT ONE. 9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Ephesians 1:9 GATHERING TOGETHER IN THE GREEK MEANS TO SUM UP. TO SUM UP TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE. IN THE DISPENSATION OF THE FULLNESS OF TIME MEANS THE END OF THE DISPENSATION OF GRACE WHICH IS THE CHUCH AGE THAT WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW. IT MEANS THAT GOD IS STILL EXTENDING HIS GRACE TO THE SINNER AND INSTEAD OF SEEING MASS JUDGEMENTS LIKE WE. WILL IN THE TRIB. WE SEE SELECTIVE JUDGEMENTS. UNTIL THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES COMES IN AT WHICH TIME THE CHURCH WILL BE CAUGHT UP. THE SELECTIVE JUDGEMENTS ARE ABOUT TO INTENSIFY SO THE LORD CAN BRING REVIVAL. PEOPLE ARE TOO COMFORTABLE RIGHT NOW AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH HUNGER FOR GOD, TO BRING HIS OUTPOURING OF HIS SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH WHICH HE IS ABOUT TO DO. 25 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. 26 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: ROMANS 11:25-26 HERES THE THIRD SCRIPTURE: 1 NOW we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 Thessalonians 2:1 THE GREEK FOR GATHERING TOGETHER IS: episunagó IT MEANS ASSEMBLING OF ALL. A COMPLETE COLLECTING OF SOMETHING. THE LORD WILL BE GATHERING THE DEAD IN CHRIST AND THE OVER COMERS THAT ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE CLOUDS. NOW NUMBER FOUR: 22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Hebrews 12:22-24 THE GREEK FOR GENERAL ASSEMBLY IS panéguris IT MEANS TO ASSEMBLE ALL IN ONE LOCATION. IT WILL BE A COLLECTING OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST, AS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION THERE WILL BE A INNUMERABLE AMOUNT OF ANGELS THERE, GOD THE FATHER WILL BE THERE, JESUS WILL BE THERE. THE LIVING WILL HAVE BEEN CHANGED FROM MORTAL TO IMMORTALITY IN GLORIFIED, INCORRUPTIBLE BODIES LIKE JESUS HAS. ITS A UNIVERSAL MEETING IN ONE PLACE. NOW HERE IS A MIRRORED IMAGE OF IT FROM WHAT THE JEWS DO: THEY HAD A GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT WOULD MEET EVERY SEVEN YEARS, THAT INCLUDED WOMAN AND CHILDREN. BUT A GROUP OF ELDERS MET FROM 410 TO 310 BC. THEY WERE MEMBERS OF THE JEWISH SANHEDRIN had 70 MEMBERS. EZRA, AND NEHEMIAH EXPANDED IT FROM 70 TO 120. THEY WERE BROUGHT TOGETHER BY THE SCRIBE EZRA. THEY WROTE THE ORAL TRADITION SO THAT IT WOULD NOT BE LOST. HAGAII, NEHEMIAH, AND ZACHARIAH, AND MALACHI WERE PART OF THE GROUP. THEY TOOK THE SCROLLS AND PUT TOGETHER THE TORAH, THE PROPHETS AND THE WRITINGS. THEY FORMALISED THENPRAYER THAT WERE SAID AT THE TEMPLE AT THE FEASTS THAT THEY DO EVEN TILL THIS DAY WITHOUT A TEMPLE. THIS WENT ON FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS. THEY GAVE THE TORAH SCROLLS TO COMMON MEN IN THE TEMPLE SO THEY COULD READ IT. THE ISRALI KNESSET POLITCAL BODY HAS 120 MEMBERS AND WAS MODELED AFTER THEM. GUESS WHAT ELSE WAS MIRRORED AND MODELED AFTER THEM? JESUS KNEW THE TEMPLE WOULD BE DESTROYED IN 70 A.D. THATS WHY JESUS SAID SAID THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS IN US, AND PAUL SAID IN 1 CORINTHIANS 3:16 THAT OUR BODIES ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. IN ACTS 1:15 WHEN THE BRIDE RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE UPPER ROOM THERE WAS 120 OF THEM. THAT NUMBER WAS NO RANDOM NUMBER. THE CHURCH WAS MODELED AFTER THE JEWISH GENERAL ASSEMBLY. THE APOSTLES HELD ONTO THE ORAL TEACHINGS AND STORIES OF JESUS. THEY HAD THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST AS THE HOLY SPIRIT GAVE IT TO THEM AND WROTE THE EPISTLES. THEY GOT TOGETHER AND WROTE THE GOSPELS SO THEY WOULD NOT BE LOST. THEY WERE PUT INTO SCROLLS SO THE COMMON MAN COULD READ THEM. THE JEWISH GENERAL ASSEMBLY WOULD MEET EVERY SEVEN YEAR AND EVERYONE INCLUDING WOMAN AND CHILDREN WOULD BE IN ATTENDANCE. A SPECIAL BEMA/PLATFORM THAT THE KING WOULD GO UP ON. THE KING WAS HANDED A TORAH SCROLL, THE KING WOULD HAND THE SCROLL TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE TEMPLE AND HE WOULD HAND IT TO THE HIGH PRIEST WHO WOULD BLESS IT AND HAND IT BACK TO YHE KING. THE KING THEN WOULD READ WHAT WAS WRITTEN ON THE SCROLL TO THE PUBLIC. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME GOLD TRUMPETS WERE USED, GOLD REPRESENTS DIETY, SILVER REDEMPTION, AND BRASS HUMANITY. SHOFARS ARE USED ON NEW MOONS AND THE LORDS FEAST DAYS. SILVER IS USED ON YOM KIPPUR AND CERTAIN DAYS. SILVER IS ALSO USED FOR THE CALLING OF THE CAMP, AND THE JOURNEYING OF ISRAEL INTO THE WILDERNESS. ON THE CATCHING AWAY THERE WILL BE A TRUMP OF GOD THAT WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE WITH A GOLD TRUMPET. AFTER THE MEETING IN THE AIR IN THE CLOUDS EVERYONE WILL BE TRANSLATED TO HEAVEN. WITH GLORIFIED BODIES IM SURE WE WILL BE MOVING LIKE THE ANGELS AT THE SPEED OF THOUGHT. NOT THAT GOD COULD NOT, OR WONT TRANSLATE US THERE WITH A FEW WORDS. IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION 5, WE SEE JESUS INTRODUCED ON THE THROWN ROOM FLOOR AS THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH. JESUS WAS A LAMB, HE WILL HOWEVER BE RETURNING AS A LION, THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS. ON THE BEMA THE KING READ A SCROLL. JESUS IN THE HEAVENLY TEMPLE ON THE BEMA PLATFORM JESUS WILL HAVE A 7 SEAL BOOK. JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE WORTHY TO BREAK THE SEALS. THIS WILL BE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN HEAVEN. IN THE HISTORY OF THE BIBLE THE RIGHTEOUS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GIVEN THE LUXARY TO ESCAPE GODS JUDGEMENTS AND WRATH. GODS WRATH IS RESERVED FOR HIS ENEMIES. JESUS EVEN SAID WE ARE HIS FRIEND AND BROTHER ONLY IF WE OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS OTHERWISE WE ARE HIS ENEMY. SO MUCH FOR SATANS EXAGGERATED GRACE LIES FTOM HELL. THERE ARE EIGHT EXAMPLES IN THE BIBLE THAT THE RIGHTEOUS HAVE BEEN GIVE A WAY OF ESCAPE. ITS THE NATURE OF GOD WHO IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER. 1. Noah, Hebrews 11:7 2. Noah, Genesis 18:25 3. Lot 19:22 Genesis 4. Egypt Exodus 12:23 5. Destruction of Jerusalem 21:21 6. Edom, Mohab, and Eman. Daniel 11:41 7. Rev. 7:3 144,000 JEWS sealed with seal of God for protection, and they are caught away. 8. EZEKIAL 14:13-14 Noah, Daniel, and Job. Luke 21:36 JESUS SAID TO PRAY TO BE FOUND WORTHY TO ESCAPE THESE THINGS, IF THERE IS NO ESCAPE WHY WOULD HE TELL US TO PRAY. NOTICE JESUS SAID WE MUST BE FOUND WORTHY AS WELL. SOMETHING ELSE TO THINK OF. I PERSONALLY DONT UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE CAN BELIEVE THAT THE FATHER WILL PUT HIS SEAL OF PROTECTION ON 144,000 JEWS, AND CATCH THEM AWAY, AND PROTECT A BUNCH OF MUZLIM ARABS IN JORDAN, AND THEN MAKE THE BRIDE OF HIS SON GO INTO WRATH IN THE TRIBULATION. WOULD ANY OF YOU MEN DO THAT TO YOUR BRIDE? WOULD ANY OF YOU WOMAN WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH A MAN THAT DID THAT TO YOU? IF MEN BEING EVIL PROTECT THEIR BRIDE, HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU THINK THAT THE LORD WHO IS LOVE AND PERFECT IS GOING TO PROTECT HIS BRIDE, FROM HIS OWN WRATH. ANOTHER REASON THE BRIDE WILL BE IN HEAVEN IS GOD HAS ETERNAL REST FOR US DURING THE TRIBULATION. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. HEBREWS 4:11 There are three DIFFERENT Sabbaths mentioned in Hebrews 4. The Sabbath for Christians in this text is not the weekly Sabbath but the eternal Sabbath rest in heaven. The common expression brother Jones crossed the Jordan last night meaning, that Jones died and has gone into the promised land of heaven. Paul wanted to die and go be with Christ: Phil 1:21-24 The Sabbath rest in the promised land is the type of the true Sabbath rest we will experience at the second coming of Christ. #1: Weekly Sabbath Given to Israel in Ex 16 for first time. And God rested on the seventh day from all His works. Heb 4:4 #2: Promised land physical rest Some of those wandering in the wilderness failed to enter the Sabbath rest of the promised land because of disobedience Heb 4:6 For if Joshua had given them rest Heb 4:8 #3: Spiritual fulfillment of land promise In heaven at second coming: God through David in Ps 95 would not have spoken of another day after that. Heb 4:7 This is the last place a Sabbatarian would ever want to go to prove that he should keep the weekly Sabbath! First in v4 God spoke of the weekly Sabbath, then he spoke of a different Sabbath. The one of Hebrews 4:10. This verse identifies that a Sabbath remains, but it is not the weekly Sabbath! Moses gave Israel the weekly Sabbath first in Ex 16. Joshua gave Israel the promised land rest. Notice that the first weekly Sabbath keeping occurred in Ex 16. It was based upon the fact that God rested on the seventh day of creation. The physical land rest when Joshua led them into Palestine was also based upon God resting on the seventh day. Only when we get to heaven, will we truly rest from our labours! Heb 4:4-11 For He has thus said somewhere concerning the seventh day, And God rested on the seventh day from all His works and again in this passage, They shall not enter My rest. The weekly Sabbath and the land Sabbath in Palestine were both based upon this verse God spoke of another rest after Joshua, through David in Ps 95 For if Joshua had given them rest (through the weekly Sabbath), He (God through David) would not have spoken of another day (eternal rest in heaven) after that. Joshua & Jesus were forerunners into the promised lands; Joshua of Palestine; Jesus of Heaven: Heb 6:11-13;19-20 full assurance of hope...inherit the promises...God made the promise to Abraham...this hope we have as ...one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us. Joshua was forerunner into physical promised land, Jesus into spiritual promise land.
