--Sharing our Saviour Yahushua the Messiah to the World!--

 

-Please Read this FIRST- On this site we prefer to use the actual Name of our loving Heavenly Father as it was written in the Word, and thus you will note that we will use the Four Letter “Memorial Name” of   - YHVH, which is pronounced as YaHVaH or YaHWaH. In addition we will also use our Heavenly Father’s attribute/title, which is Elohim rather than “God,” which sadly is the name of a pagan god. In addition we also love to use the actual and real Name of our beloved Messiah which is  - Yahushua for this is our Saviours original Hebrew Name as given to Him at birth in Lukas - Luke 1:31. This was the only Name ever used when He was on the earth by His family, disciples and His followers OVER THE centuries, even until today! However, it was changed to a foreign name by the founder of the new “pagan church of Rome.” Occasionally, we may also use other Hebrew or Greek names as well as different words in our studies for certain common words used are from pagan backgrounds and thus are not suitable. All names will be translated when they are FIRST used in a study or at various times as needed for clarity. There is a full explanation of YHVH’s blessed “Memorial Name” as well as the wonderful blessed Name of our Messiah and Saviour, thus please read … “The Memorial Name.”

The three levels of learning & understanding of the blessed Word of YaHVaH Elohim (the Lord God):

When we read and study the blessed Scriptures, the Word of YHVH Elohim as a believer in Yahushua the Messiah, we should keep the following three steps always in mind for they are a valuable guide and it will certainly provide us with guidance and illuminate the sheer beauty and the fullness of YHVH’s most blessed Word.

1. Who was YHVH Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name, speaking to?

2. When was it said?

3. How was His Word understood at the time it was spoken/given?

I do believe that these three points are most relevant to our understanding of 1. What the Almighty is saying at the time – 2. As well as what it means to us today - and 3. Especially to you and me right now!

 

Introduction:

I am well aware that the subject I am about to cover is one of most controversial amongst many, as it is one that is greatly debated. However, as you will soon discover that I am about to look at it from an entirely different viewpoint for I was one who had never heard of the possibility of that kind of teaching for back in 1977 I came directly out of ultra orthodox Judaism and was not involved with any kind of christian teaching, in fact I was very anti-christian!

Thus, I pray that you will read this study prayerfully, always seeking our Heavenly Father for discernment and with your Scriptures at hand for I will always remain strictly close to the blessed Word of YaHVaH Elohim (the LORD God), blessed be His Sanctified Name, for it was He who revealed details regarding the subject matter to me in His Word, and it did not come from the “Brit Chadashah” - Hebrew for the “New Covenant” but from the Tanach – the Old Covenant!

Dear reader let me explain: I came to know my blessed Saviour Yahushua THE Messiah whist I was all alone one evening during my evening (Ma’ariv) prayers and study time early in December 1977. Prior to this night, I had not been persuaded by or ministered to by “christians” as I had an intense dislike for those “Jesus Christ” people, as my people had been slaughtered in the “name of Christ” for some two thousand of years. I had even written a book that contained a rather anti “Christian” chapter in it, thus I was far from having any kind of desire of wanting anything to do with the subject! However, I as a Hebrew I certainly did love my Heavenly Father, my beloved Creator, Elohim and I upheld the Torah, the Law to my abilities, not because the Almighty had told me to keep them, like far too many Jews tend to do, but because I loved Him with an overflowing heart, I desired to keep them!

But on that evening, whilst I was reading Daniel chapter 9, the Almighty, blessed be He, clearly spoke to me, and I do not mean with a deep loud voice, but somehow a small voice within me, but I knew it was not me, for what I was hearing was certainly not a subject that I would have even remotely have thought about, or desired to hear about, or bring to mind! No, it would never even have entered my mind! Yet, blessed be He, my Heavenly Father spoke to me regarding THE Messiah and the Second Temple as is so clearly spoken about in that particular Scripture reading in Daniel 9: 25-26.

“Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem unto the Anointed (Hebrew “Anointed” = “Mashiach / Messiah”) the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; the street shall be built again and the wall, even in troublesome times. And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself.”

Now let me make it very clear, I knew this verse backwards, and I do not mean because Hebrew is written the opposite way to our English writing, for Hebrew is written from right to left. But the point is, I had read those verses and this chapter many, many times, but this time, YaHVaH Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name, gave me a revelation of what it really meant and it became totally clear to me and it changed my life forever, thank You Father!

Although that night, He gave me so much more teaching, such as the understanding as the meaning of the “Feasts of YHVH” and what a massive revelation that was, for each one is about Messiah!

You can believe me, but for this Orthodox Hebrew it was a massive life changing event (more than I can ever state here) and knowing very clearly that it was my Heavenly Father speaking, something had occurred that had never happened before in my entire life, but there were no doubts whatsoever who had been speaking to me, considering having published my then recent book entitled, “Faith of the Chosen” and within it there was a chapter that was not exactly kind to He who is called the “Messiah” by the church. But, thank You Father, for that night, You blessed me and I came to know and believe in my “HaMashiach Yahushua,” the Messiah and I repented from my sins and prayed and worshipped the Father in the Name of Yahushua.

During that evening having spent a great deal of time in prayer and weeping before YaHVaH Elohim, I was clearly told to “Go and study and concentrate only on “My Word” … “do not read any books by man for seven years.” Thus no matter how good some of these men and books may seem to be, Elohim did not wish me to be influenced by any outside source, such as the theologies and traditions of men that obviously had long gone astray, just as it had been with the Rabbinic manmade Laws that have been added, and these erroneous laws have placed a massive yoke upon Israel by these Rabbis, the very yoke that Yahushua our Messiah spoke about in the Word, as well as His disciples who fought and taught against these laws and not the law’s of YaHVaH Elohim, but the “law’s” that were rabbinic and manmade! Therefore, The Decalogue (Ten Commandments) are still in full effect, but sadly not according to so many of the churches!

Therefore as a Hebrew, having an understanding of the Hebrew Scriptures, YaHVaH Elohim opened up so much from the “Tanach” - “the Old Covenant” and I learned so much more, because with a new understanding of those things that I had not understood before, for now I had new eyes opened, for “the scales had been removed from my eyes.” Thank you Yahushua! I was immersed (baptised) in running water in due course!

Wherever I looked, I could see my precious Saviour Yahushua in the heart of the Tanach, as I said before in the prophetic “Feasts of YaHVaH” (Vayikra – Leviticus 23). Each of them contained a clear and a precise picture, a type of our blessed Messiah! YaHVaH Elohim continued to reveal so many wonderful gleaming Gems and treasures in His Word including the one that is covered in this study.

From the blessed understanding that the Almighty had been giving me through His Word during those seven years, and as time went on, came the teaching that I have been blessed to share wherever Elohim opened the doors throughout Australia and the world since 1984, although I did give my testimony many times during those early seven years. During the travelling ministry countless studies have been given, including one that is called “Gems from the Tanach” - Old Covenant, for the Word is packed with so many sublime Treasures and bright and wonderful life giving Gems! However, many of these may not be easily found unless you are able to understand Scriptural Hebrew and apply the “Three levels of learning & understanding of the blessed Word of YHVH Elohim” as given at the very top of this page!

As a new believer in Yahushua, when it came to “Christian Theology” and thinking, let alone “Christian terminology,” one must realise having been a young leader and from an ultra Orthodox Jewish background I had no knowledge of any Christological theology, therefore I had no preconceived ideas, especially in relation to things like what the church calls the “Rapture.” Frankly, if anyone asked me …

Do you believe in the rapture?” I would have said “What is that?

The Erroneous Teachings of the Greater part of the Harlot Church:

We all know that in the Scriptures the word rapture simply does NOT exist and it has no right to be used and frankly someone just made this rather ridiculous word up and it is utter rubbish, like so many other things found in the harlot church theology these days! Sadly so much of it has originated from pagan backgrounds and has come directly out of that evil pagan Babylonian inspired church of Roman that was founded by Simon Magnus a priest of Babylon and magician (Acts 8:9-24), and not Shime’on ben Yochanan, who is also called Peter the Apostle who never set a foot in Rome, and then there is a new day of worship that was instigated by that evil sun worshipping emperor Constantine, who worshipped that pagan sun god until the day he died and thus the church worships on SUNday, whilst the faithful in Messiah uphold the Scriptural Seventh Day Sabbath, according the Ten Commandments!

The question is why has parts of the church added this ridiculous word “rapture” to its vocabulary, as it is a word that just does not exist in the Scriptures and frankly has no meaning whatsoever that is relevant to the meaning it is supposed to have!

But then, just like those things mentioned above, there are other things that the greater church has changed, for be assured if the Satanic church of Rome is involved in any way you will find countless pagan influences that have been introduced, considering its real founder was “Simon the Sidonian sorcerer!” For example, let us look at the celebration that is now named Easter, the eggs, rabbits and associated things, all thanks to Rome!

But it was the evil KJV translators who actually managed to add this pagan name into their translation, and they did this in just a single verse in Acts 2:4, even though the Greek there is very clearly “Pascha”, which is “Passover”. In every other verse in the Brit Chadashah – the New Covenant, where the word “Pascha” appears in the KJV, the translators translate it as “Passover,” yet in this one single verse in Acts 2:4 they decided without any reason whatsoever to use the pagan word “Easter”, and thus the christian world has taken hold of this pagan word and now they celebrate the feast of Easter instead of Passover.

You may ask, why Easter?  It is all about a goddess named “Ishtar”, which we call today “Easter.”

We may ask, so what is this ancient festival all about? I am sure that you will be surprised, but I can tell you it was all about the resurrection of a god as it commemorated the resurrection of the pagan god “Tammuz” who was believed to be “the only son” of Ishtar the moon-goddess and the sun-god. But how did the Easter egg come about, well it is related to the goddess “Semiramis who claimed that she was immaculately conceived, she taught that the moon was a goddess that went through a 28 day cycle and ovulated on the day of the full moon. She further claimed that she had come down from the moon in a giant moon egg that fell into the Euphrates River. This was to have happened at the time of the first full moon after the spring equinox. Rabbits, well they are known to be very fertile, thus the festival, is all about fertility, not resurrection at all! All very confusing!

So now you know the origin of the word Easter and name of the god “Ishtar” and the pagan feast related to this pagan god goes back a thousand or more years before our blessed Saviour Yahushua was even on the earth with us. In addition the Roman church even changed our beloved Saviours Name into one that is not related to His actual Name, which is identical to that of Joshua who led the Israelites back in to the Land of Promise! His name is also written in Hebrew as “Yahushua!” All you have to do is look up the name “Joshua” in Strongs in the New Covenant.

Strongs NT:2424: Iesous (ee-ay-sooce'); of Hebrew origin [OT: 3091]; Jesus (i.e. Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites:

A note from the author: As there is no “J” in Hebrew it should be Yehoshua, but the correct Hebrew is … “Yahushua” For we know the Name of the Father “YAH” is correct. As is “shua” for “t’shua” in Hebrew means “to repent!”

Let’s concentrate on that so-called “The Rapture:

Thus dear friend, that ridiculous word rapture is a great big fraud, such as the feasts of Easter, Christmas, and that fraudulent day of worship SUNday as well as the name of “Jesus” to the true believer in Yahushua who is the only and THE true Messiah, for all of these words and names belong to the pagan Satanic Roman Church and they have been inherited by the vast majority of the harlot protestant churches!

“Rapture” - What is that? - I certainly cannot find it ANYWHERE in the blessed Scriptures!

I remember the day well when I was asked for the very first time, “Brother Reuben, do you believe in the rapture?” My reply was as follows …

Please tell me, what is it, and where can I find that in the Word, for I have never seen it?” … OK, I was playing it a little cool, for I certainly did know what they were referring to, but there was a lesson to be taught! So the dear misguided person told me that the faithful in Messiah had to be taken away (“Caught up”) before the Tribulation would commence. I replied, “What you really mean is what is written in 1 Thessalonians chapter 4:13 to 18 when the Lord will come DOWN from heaven and the faithful will be caught up in the clouds, which is up in the air?

Please, let me tell you that the word “rapture” is a false and is part of Satan’s plan to make “believers” look like, how do I put it. Well let’s be honest, complete idiots to the world and even a little mad to say the least, and I think Satan has done a very good job at it!

Friends that hideous word MUST never be used, by the true believers in the Messiah, But then thankfully all those in true faith would not anyway!

The word of Elohim states the following

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others that have no hope. For if we believe that Yahushua died and rose again, even so those also that sleep in Yahushua will Elohim bring with Him … For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Elohim: (at the Feast, the Feast  of Trumpets) and the dead in Messiah shall rise first: Then we who are alive and remain shall be CAUGHT UP together with them in the clouds, to meet the Master in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Master. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

At this stage let me tell you how I discovered and received the revelation regarding the true catching away?

1… Was it in the Brit Chadashah - New Covenant?  No it was not!

2… Did I learn about it from other believers? Again the answer is 100% No.

3… I first discovered this truth whilst I was still in isolation studying the Tanach - Old Covenant and as I stated earlier I did not even have a Brit Chadashah - New Covenant at that time, for you may not realise it but the Gospel is very clearly contained throughout the Tanach!

In fact my discovery regarding this truth first came through the very same reading in Daniel 9, when Elohim, blessed be He, so clearly spoke to me and led me to my blessed Saviour Yahushua on that wonderful and blessed evening in December 1977. Thus beloved, Daniel chapter 9 contains one of the most powerful confirmations that the *faithful in Yahushua (those who are asleep and those that remain when He comes) will be “caught up and meet the Master in the air” prior the 70th Week!

It is so important that the faithful in Yahushua have understanding regarding being “Caught up” and the 70th Week, for this understanding will affect the way we share our blessed Saviour Yahushua with others, especially to the Children of Israel. However there are many other scriptures that also confirm this truth!

Due to a total lack of Scriptural understanding a well-known ministry (a so-called “embassy”) based in Jerusalem stated “There is no urgency for the Jews to come to the Lord now they will have their time later.” They and others claim that the Word states, “All Israel shall be saved.”  And I agree that it does, HOWEVER, you can read the Word out of context and get it all wrong, for the Word also clearly states that two thirds of Israel shall be horribly murdered during that horrendous time of “Jacob’s Trouble.”

However, that satanically led ministry “International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem” has stated the hideous and an evil claims in their writings and lectures that “the Time of Jacob’s Trouble has already occurred.” This is just another Satanic lie obviously propagated by HaSatan! And this “embassy” claims to be a “Spirit filled” group of believers. What utter rubbish, for they will be heading for the grave, unless they repent in the Name of Yahushua – otherwise, “The wages of sin is death”!

The truth is beloved, we need to share Yahushua with Hebrew and Gentile alike, that they may be saved in the blessed Name of Yahushua, covered by His shed blood and they will not have to endure the time of “the wrath of Elohim (God)!”

Now to the facts regarding the question of “caught up” and how I discovered it!

The pre-Tribulation “Catching Away,” I know and believe, harmonises the relevant passages in the blessed Word of YaHVaH Elohim, and I do mean without any strained arguments. You may ask, how do you come to that conclusion, well it is simple, for many make a grave mistake, which myself and I would suppose others do not, for we must not confuse the Body in Messiah, that is the faithful in Yahushua with the “Children of Israel” or the unsaved Gentiles and YaHVaH’s dealings with them. It recognises the difference between the “Chastening of the Saviour” and the “Wrath of Elohim.” It recognises the difference between the “Age of Grace” and “the 70th Week.” It recognises the difference between the provision for exemption for the Bride and the preservation of the Tribulation saints during the 70th Week. This teaching is a balanced interpretation, which gives YaHVaH Elohim all the Praise!

Without doubt, we are living in urgent times, for Yahushua’s coming for the Bride is imminent for He gave us clear signs, like Israel’s partial restoration to the land and Jerusalem, although it is currently a sinful nation. YaHVaH Elohim spoke about these times, by using the word “Generation,” back in Tehillim – Psalms, as well as in the Brit Chadashah - the New Covenant.

“You will arise and have mercy on Zion (Jerusalem), for the time to favour her, yes, the set time, has come (the people and the city re-united). For Your servants (The Children of Israel) take pleasure in her stones, and show favour to her dust … When YHVH shall build up Zion He shall appear in His glory … This shall be written for the Generation to come” Tehillim - Psalms 102:13-14,16 &18.

For many of us, it has been during our lifetime, that we have witnessed Israel‘s re-establishment in 1948, and then her restoration to Zion, being the City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in 1967, thus we know with assurance that we are closer to the time that “the set time has come.”

In Hebrew, the words; “Generation to come” is “Le'Dor Acharon” which literally means “the Last Generation.” It is for that very reason we, the faithful must teach the blessed truth of the Word of YaHVaH Elohim to those who need to hear the Word of Truth in the churches and to the world, both Hebrew and Gentiles alike, for we are living in the “last generation” before our blessed Saviour Yahushua will come for His Bride.

The next question is … “when will this occur, 1 … before, 2 … in the middle, or 3 … at the end of the Tribulation?”

Beloved, the Scriptural fact is that the *faithful in Messiah Yahushua cannot enter the Tribulation, not even one single second or day thereof. Why? The fact is Yahushua promised His faithful that they would not!

*Why am I being so specific with the word “faithful”? It is true that I did not say “christians” for many do not worship the true Messiah of YaHVaH Elohim whose actual Name is Yahushua! Did our beloved Saviour not say … “And I will do whatever you ask in My Name, so that the Son may bring Honour to the Father. You may ask Me for anything in My Name, and I will do it.” Yochanan - John 14:13-14. I have already proven to you that Strongs number NT2423: clearly states regarding the Name used for the Messiah in the Word in English Scriptures: “ … of Hebrew origin [OT:3091]; Jesus (i.e. Jehoshua or Yahushua), being the true name of our Lord as well as two (three) other Israelites.” This includes Joshua, who walked with Moshe (Moses) and led the Children of Israel around Jericho! His name (Joshua) in Greek was also written as Iesous, yet he ended up as Joshua, which sounds much like the original, thus the question, why did the most precious Name of them all end up with a name not only completely foreign, but one that is also associated with the name of the pagan god Zeus? If you wish to check what I am saying, all you have to do is look up all Greek names that end with “seus,” “sous” or “sus,” such as for example Ephesus, it is simple as that! But here are some more examples of the Greek names such as the Greek hero of the Trojan War “Odysseus” and then there is the Greek deity “Ieuseus” being a variant spelling of the Latin “IESUS.” There is the sacred mountain in Greece Parnassus, and the god of wine and the son of Zeus “Dionysus.” Other Greek words such as “Tarsus” mean the “sweat of Zeus” and then there is Pegasus and Ephesus, and the list goes on!

“Therefore Elohim also has highly exalted Him and given Him the Name which is above every name, that at the Name of Yahushua every knee should bow of those in heaven and of those on earth, and of those under the earth and that every tongue should confess that Yahushua the Messiah is Lord, to the glory of Elohim the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11.

Back to being “Caught Up” and a relevant Scripture!

“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial that shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” Revelations 3:10.

I have been asked; “Are there other Scriptures that will give us a sure foundation to base our faith on being caught up?” There certainly are and that is available only for the true and faithful in Yahushua the Messiah who will be “Caught Up” just prior the Great Tribulation commences? Indeed, there are many Scriptural indications!

But return with me to the book of Daniel chapter 9 and take a close look at verse 24. We must ask ourselves as we read it “What does YaHVaH Elohim have to say and what can we deduct from it?” Well there are four major points of great interest

“Seventy weeks are determined for Your people and for Your Holy City, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.”

This verse contains three significant points that should clarify the situation.

1.    The 70th Week is determined upon “Your People.” That is …The Children of Israel.”

2.    The 70th Week is determined upon “Your Holy City.” That is … Jerusalem.

3.    The 70th Week is determined in order …To finish the Transgression and to make an End of Sins.”

4.    The 70th Week is determined … “bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.”

In the Tanach - Old Covenant this time, the 70th Week is known as “the Day of YaHVaH. The purpose of that Day or time is “Judgement for all those in error and in sin.” However, we do know that the Seven (Year) Day of YaHVaH is divided into two main parts.

During the first three and a half years, a false peacemaker, known as “the Beast” or commonly known as the “Anti-messiah” (anti-christ), will make a treaty with Israel and delude the whole of the sinful world with promises of peace and prosperity, whilst at the same time he will introduce a new system that will do away with all the fraud and identity theft that has been going on for so long. That will be a great relief to many, who will say; “At last, crime will finally come to an end for now no-one will be able to steal from us,” thus many will agree that this mark is a great step forward and that it is a revolutionary system.” Tragically the world will be completely taken in by this evil strategy that will be used to fool them, for the truth is all this has been foretold well over 2000 years ago in the Word of Elohim, and we the faithful know it as the “mark of the Beast” and the “cashless society” - “666.” Sadly, far too many will accept the “mark of the Beast” gladly and without any question whatsoever.

However, the second half of the Tribulation is a very different time, for it is known as the “Time of Jacob's Trouble,” for this time will be used to soften the now rebellious hardened hearts towards this Anti-messiah, as the remnant of Israel the 144,000 has come to know their Saviour and they have turned to sharing Him with other Hebrews and the world, for by now the Two Witnesses have been killed and after their three and a half days dead in that Jerusalem Square, Elohim raised them from the dead, which was a turning point on the earth, for their ministry during the first three and a half years, when they were called the trouble makers of the world, will now be seen as the true servants of Elohim, and millions will turn to Messiah Yahushua! This remnant will prepare Israel and all who will come to Yahushua for His Kingdom. All this will culminate in Yahushua’s Second Coming to the earth. But prior to that blessed day, the Beast will shed much blood of the Tribulation faithful (both Hebrew and others) as the Book of Revelations so clearly tells us, but there is much more to tell regarding these two time periods later!

The question begs - WHY the Faithful in Yahushua CANNOT ENTER the Tribulation

They will be separated to a safe place

Below I will provide a Clear picture WHY and the structure is Scriptural:

And please remember, these things were learnt by a man who was never indoctrinated by a believer, or any Christian influences for I had just come out of my Jewish heritage and teachings, which did not have this kind of teaching. Thus having accepted Messiah through the occurrence of a blessed miracle one December evening in my office in 1977 during prayer time and through study of the Word of YaHVaH Elohim being all alone, without any anyone involved in shaping my thoughts regarding anything you will read on this page!

1. On the basis of the distinction between Israel and the Body in Messiah Yahushua:

a.    Elohim NEVER deals with Israel and the Body in Yahushua at the same time.

b.    Because of the promises to Israel - yet unfulfilled, Israel must have a future. Evangelic and missionary responsibility of Israel will be completed during the Tribulation.

c.    The restoration of the nation of Israel is not yet complete.

d.    “Daniel’s 70 Weeks” is not completed; Sabbatical year approach. Shemos - Exod 23:10, 11 – Vayikra - Lev 25:3, 4 & 26:33-36 - 2 Chron 36:20,21 -Yirmyahu - Jer 25:11, 12, & 29: 10 & Dan 9:2, 24, 25.

2. Statement and structure of Revelation:

a.    The Statement “Tereo ek” (Rev 3:10), “to keep out” not “Aireo” (to take out) used in context.

b.    The Structure: the Age of the Faithful / Tribulation / Millennium / Eternity. Rev chapters 2-3 / 7-19 / 20 / & 21: 1-8.

3. The Statement of Thessalonians:

a.    Removal of the presence of the Sanctified (Holy) Spirit is impossible without removing the Faithful at the same time - until He is taken out of the way. 2 Thess 2: 6-7.

b.    Incorrect translation in the KJV & NKJ confuses the entire passage. “Day of Christ” should read “Day of YHVH.” (False teachers came with a forged letter supposedly from Paul, who implied that the Day of YHVH, or Tribulation, had already come). 2 Thess 2: 2.

c.    Phrase “In the Messiah (Christ)” refers to believers during the age of the faithful. Verse 18 emphasises a comfort which could not exist if the faithful in Yahushua were to go through the Tribulation. 1 Thess 4: 16-18.

4. Remnant of the Tribulation:

a.    Yahushua returns to the earth with His saints. 1 Thess chapters 3: 13 & Jude 14.

b.    Yahushua at the same time delivers the Tribulation saints at the Second Advent. Zecharyah – Zech 14:1-5.

c.    Yahushua cannot come with saints and deliver saints unless there are two groups of saints. 1. The true fellowship in Yahushua and 2. Saints. Obviously two groups exist and both groups of saints are separated...

5. Activity of the Faithful in with Messiah:

a.    Before the faithful return to Jerusalem with our Saviour, they appear before the Judgement Seat of YHVH for evaluation of fruits in their walk of faith - Rewards. 2 Cor 5:10, 1 Cor 3:11-15.

b.    Hence, some interval is necessary that the faithful can be prepared for their task ahead during the millennium reign.

The Tribulation:

We have already read that the Ruach HaKodesh, that is the Holy Spirit will be removed, thus that means that the body in Messiah, the faithful in Him must have gone before the Tribulation commences. However, we also know from the blessed Word of YaHVaH Elohim that there will be two very special men, who apparently will have attributes very much like Moshe and Eliyahu (Moses and Elijah), but be assured they will not be the two men, for both of them have died and they will be part of the later resurrection.

It is rather sad that christians have no idea what really happened to Eliyahu – Elijah, for they do not realise that when he was taken up and what really happened. Thus, what I am about to tell you is never taught by theologians or if you are a Christian, your pastors, but it is what the blessed Word of Elohim teaches!

He was, as it states in the Word, taken up and away by the Father into the “air,” or “clouds,” for his work as a prophet of Elohim was done and completed! We also know that his mantle (cloak) and a “double portion” would fall as a blessing upon his faithful servant, Elisha. But did you realise that many years later when a new king was on the throne over in Judah, Eliyahu actually wrote a letter to king Yehoram – Jehoram; and this can be found in 2 Chronicles where it very clearly states …

“Jehoram received a letter from Eliyahu - Elijah the prophet.” 2 Chronicles 21:12.

King Jehoram reigned a considerable time after Eliyahu had been taken up in a chariot. Many will be aware that more of the kings of Judah were faithful (but not all) and most of the faithful kings were blessed with long rule, for at least 40 years. Whereas the evil ones had a short rule, especially those in the land of Israel, which were mostly evil in the sight of YaHVaH!

Thus the fact is that Eliyahu was taken up into the air and then transported somewhere else, and it seems like he was no longer in the land of Israel, but he was relocated to Judah, for it would be from within Israel that he had written the king regarding the important question of his life and his evil ways, for the Letter read as follows:

“Thus says YHVH Elohim of your father Dovid: Because you have not walked in the ways of Yehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah, but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot like the harlotry of the house of Ahab, and also have killed your brothers, those of your father's household, who were better than yourself, behold, YHVH will strike your people with a serious affliction, your children, your wives, and all your possessions; and you will become very ill with a disease of your intestines, until your intestines come out by reason of the sickness, day by day.” 2 Chronicles 21:12-15.

Thus here we have learnt that the faithful in Messiah must be removed, as will the Ruach HaKodesh, the Sanctified Spirit be. The truth is very simple, those in Messiah Yahushua who are obviously filled with the Spirit of YaHVaH Elohim MUST be gone! For if we were still there, there would be no need having the Two Witness as men of great faith chosen by YaHVaH Elohim Himself. Considering the times and the way of the world, I believe that they may well be alive somewhere in the world right now, just as is he who is “the Beast,” the “Anti-messiah: and the false prophet! I am certainly most interested with the election with this Jesuit Priest, Pope Francis, for many have no idea how evil this cult, the Jesuits really are, for even this Pope had to make one of the most gruesome blood oaths, having to cut himself with a knife near his heart, with a bishop standing above him! Read a study as shown at the bottom of the page!

The two witnesses will not be known until a powerful revelation that they are to be chosen for this very unique and special - if not a painful role, but they will be true servants in Yahushua, and are men just like any man!

The two witnesses will be spreading the Word of Truth in Jerusalem which will be heard throughout the world, for in this day we have an incredible media system that will take everything live via satellite! However, the anti-messiah and his false prophet will constantly come against them and have their army attempt to kill them, but as we know from the blessed Word that Elohim will give them great and special powers as fire will proceed from their mouths.

“And I will give power to My two witnesses and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lamp-stands that stand before the Elohim of the earth. If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.” Revelation 11:3-6.

Thus we can see that they are also able to shut the skies and that there will be not only great drought throughout the world, but that all the rivers and the seas will have turned to blood. I ask you to think about this prospect, for after even one or two years every single tree and all plants will have died for ground water will have become tainted, there will be no production of juices, drinks. In due course there will be nothing to drink whatsoever, and as the body requires water at all times, and there will not be a drop. Beloved, are the faithful in Messiah meant to be part of the “wrath of Elohim?” No, they have been removed already!

We know that when the two witnesses have finished their ministry, there will a good number who will have come into faith because of their testimony and they are called the tribulation saints, but the numbers at first will be relatively small on a world scale. But in the “middle of the week” the two witnesses will be both caught and executed by the beast, and the Word states that the whole world will witness this event, which will obviously be on their TV’s! The Scriptures also states, that the world will have the biggest party in all history for the witnesses are considered as the great troublemakers of the world for they were the ones who brought great drought, and turned waters into blood and fire came from their mouths killing all those who tried to get rid of them, and now they are finally dead. It is sad that they will be called the trouble makers, much like Eliyahu – Elijah had been!

With these two faithful men of Elohim having laid dead and on view in this Jerusalem square, for three and a half days, YaHVaH Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name, will restore them to life, and they will stand up and Elohim will lift them up into the air until out of sight and they will join the faithful and remain there until Yahushua’s Second Coming! But what is important that once again the entire world will be watching this event on TV and see their resurrection from the dead with great awe and in total amazement, and this will have one of the most amazing effects in all history!

“For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

But after the three and a half days a breath of life from Elohim entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, ‘Come up here.’ And they went up into air and cloud, while their enemies looked on.” Revelation 11:9-12.

It will be at that very moment that I believe when the greatest revival will take place around the world, for countless individuals who will have seen this happen will come to realisation that what the two witnesses had been saying for those three and a half years about YaHVaH Elohim and Yahushua THE Messiah, and that evil anti-messiah and prophet was completely true! Thus then many will believe in Messiah Yahushua and having repented they will follow Him as their Saviour! However, the times will now be more like it was in the times of ancient Rome, but far, far worse, for all the faithful, both from Hebrew or Gentile backgrounds are going to be hunted by the Beast’s evil army, for this anti-messiah will be beginning to realise that he (and Satan) is loosing the battle! Sadly as the Word tells us, many will be beheaded! These last three and a half years will be a terrible and a harsh time for all Tribulation Saints during the second half of what is called the time of … “Jacob’s Trouble.”

Thus beloved, when those come and say, but the faithful are being persecuted during the tribulation, etc. Yes it is true, but those are the Tribulation saints who come to Messiah Yahushua during the tribulation, and that will include many of today’s “christians” for they will have learnt much of the Word, but pray to another god, who has another name, directly related to that pagan Greek god! But when the two witnesses testify the Word of truth, many will understand their error and return to the true Messiah, and that beloved is the difference!

Of course after I discovered details regarding so many things from my Tanach - Old Covenant, of course I did obtain a Brit Chadashah - New Covenant and I studied it prayerfully and comprehensively, you might say with a gusto! And I was surprised that I discovered certain things that I already knew that I had been shown in the Tanach - Old Covenant, but also described in the Brit Chadashah - New Covenant as well, especially in 1 Thessalonians chapter 4. Of course I began to study the Book of Revelations and found that so much of it was based on what had been written back in the Tanach - New Covenant.

So when we are those “caught up” depart?

Why did our blessed Saviour Yahushua say

“And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man, which is in heaven?” Yochanan - John 3:13.

Yahushua, who had come from heaven, and who appeared in human flesh (Yochanan - John 1:1-5), said very plainly that Eliyahu - Elijah was not in heaven! Yet the Word says, “… Eliyahu went up by a whirlwind into heaven” (2 Kings 2:11). Thus you may ask, “Well how do you explain that?”

Considering what I have already stated, and what our beloved Saviour Yahushua has said Himself, it does sound somewhat of a contradiction. But it is far from it!

What we should be asking ourselves; is there some difficulty between the Hebrew and Greek words for “heaven”? For if that is the case then where did Eliyahu really go? And what did YaHVaH Elohim and Saviour Yahushua mean with what He said?

Elisha, who had been following Eliyahu for so long would never stop following his master Eliyahu, and he was absolutely shocked when he was taken away. For, whilst Elisha asked for a “double portion” of the spirit of Eliyahu, the Word states;

“… it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and part them both asunder; and Eliyahu went up by a whirlwind into heaven (Hebrew = “shamayim” meaning the “air” or “sky”).” (2 Kings 2:11).

Thus we Elisha saw Eliyahu being taken up high into the air, or sky, even into the clouds, with his own eyes!

We know well that through the centuries thousands of sermons have been preached using this that to underscore the hopes of heaven for the saved! Who has not heard so many priests or preachers wax eloquently about the proverbial “pearly gates” and the heavenly city with streets of gold and glittering mansions and about being in heaven, forever and ever? Thus millions believe that immediately upon death the “souls of all Christians” go up to heaven!

Then WHY did Yahushua say the following?

NO MAN HAS ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN”? (Yochanan - John 3: 13). Let’s face it, Yahushua should KNOW, at that time He was with the Father, as well as the 24 elders and the angels. It was only later that He came down from the Father to the earth to become the “Son of man!”

Thus WHY do all those MILLIONS of churchgoing, professing “Christians” believe that their “Lord,” their “Christos” did not know any better, or what he was talking about, even inferring that He lied?

Beloved, do you believe our blessed Saviour Yahushua, or do you prefer to believe, what you have always been taught by men who have obtained their teachings from teachers whose faith are based on the Roman Catholic pagan beliefs? If it is latter, I feel very sorry, but I pray that you will read on and pray that the Father will lead you and touch your heart and mind with the Spirit of Truth!

So once again - what Happened to Eliyahu?

Did Eliyahu die and/or go to heaven? No. Eliyahu was elderly, but not sick; he was still busy doing the work that YaHVaH Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name, had set before him and he was just having a conversation with Elisha whilst walking along the way. But suddenly Elisha saw what appeared to be a fiery vision, and Eliyahu was taken, bodily in what appeared to be a chariot into, as most translations have it, “heaven.” No doubt Elisha watched him until he was out of sight.

Where did Eliyahu go?

If it was a bright, clear day, how long could Elisha's eyes have followed Eliyahu as he departed?

Probably, if Elisha had good eyesight, he could have seen Eliyahu, plus the blazing, glittering spectacle of the fiery chariot and horses, for several miles, perhaps even as much as 15,000 or so feet. But, eventually, distance would have seemed to have “swallowed him up” and he would have no longer been visible to Elisha's startled eyes!

How many times have you had the experience of hearing the thunder of a jet from up high, only to look up into the sky and unable to see the plane? Perhaps you remember an occasion or two when you have been able to see the vapour trail left by the engines of the aircraft, and perhaps could even see it forming, moving across the sky high above, and still the plane was so high your human eye could not pick it out.

Yet aboard that airplane could be up to 480 people these days as well as flight attendants who would be serving meals and coffee, pushing their carts up and down the aisle, then there is the flight crew in the cockpit, thus it is a plane that is so big that a tall man could stand up in the intake of just one of its jet engines, and yet, because it is so high in the sky, you from down on the ground simply cannot see it! However, if it was a cloudy day when Eliyahu was “taken up into heaven,” then Elisha could only see him for possibly a few thousand feet at the very most.

But, now we must return to the Word of our blessed Heavenly Father, and what is actually stated, for we should remember that translators tend to get things rather wrong for many translators may know Hebrew as far as their brain is concerned, but they were not Hebrews and they certainly did not have Hebrew heart knowledge with an idea of “time and understanding of the circumstances” the truth is they had Greek mind sets! Thus what I have done is apply the three principles as stated at the top of the page, which is as follows …

1. Who was YHVH Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name speaking to?

2. When was it said?

3. How was His Word understood at the time it was spoken/given?

We need to understand that the word for “heaven” in the Hebrew is “shamayim,” which comes from a root word “shameh”, that means “to be lofty.” The word “shamayim,” simply means up in “the sky” (as “aloft”) and alludes to “the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve.” In Strong's Exhaustive Concordance the word simply means “AIR” as well as “heaven”. One or two outstanding examples of the interchangeable usage of this one word should suffice, although there are MANY in the Scriptures.

But as we have already learnt earlier in this study, Eliyahu was alive long after he was taken away up into the “air” and well out of sight from Elisha’s view and obviously he was moved somewhere else, and Eliyahu wrote that letter to king Jehoram of Judah years later as mentioned earlier in this study.

Note the following Scriptures.

“And the windows of heaven were opened ...” (Bereshis - Genesis 7:11). “The windows of heaven were stopped…” “The rain from heaven was restrained.” (Bereshis - Genesis 8:2). “…Whose top may reach unto heaven.” (Bereshis - Genesis 11:4).

These are only three examples of literally dozens in the Tanach - Old Covenant where the word “heaven” is OBVIOUSLY referring to this earth's immediate atmosphere. In the first few quotations, reference is made to the flood of Noah. The “windows of heaven” refer to thunderous rainstorms, and are therefore dealing with the immediate envelope of air which covers this earth like a mantle and is, in fact, a literal PART of our earth and its immediate environment.

The scripture from Genesis 11 deals with the famed “Tower of Babel,” when mankind attempted to construct the very first “skyscraper.”

Now, notice how the identical word (shameh) is used for the word “air.”

“The fowl of the air” (Bereshis - Genesis 1:26, 28). “And every fowl of the air” (Bereshis - Genesis 2:19). “…Gave names ... to the fowl of the air…” (Bereshis - Genesis 2:20). “…Winged fowl that flies in the air…” (Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:17). “The birds of the air to rest on them…” (2 Shmuel - Samuel 2:10). “The way of an eagle in the air…” (Mashley Shlomo - Proverbs 30:19).

In each of these, and in 21 separate examples in the Tanach (Old Covenant), the identical Hebrew word translated “heaven” is rendered “air.”

Why? Because the translators knew that, when the Word was referring to that “firmament” above the earth in which birds fly, it must mean “the air,” and not the heaven of Elohim’s throne. Actually, as we shall see, the Word clearly speaks of THREE “heavens,” and positively identifies the “third heaven” as the heaven of Elohim's throne!

What Elisha saw, then, was the disappearance of Eliyahu, by a miracle from Elohim, in a fiery chariot-up into the AIR, until he was taken up out of Elisha's sight! Eliyahu did not go into the heaven of Elohim’s throne, for Yahushua the Messiah of Nazareth SAID SO!

Do “Souls” Go to Heaven?

NO! But, some will argue, Yahushua didn’t say no souls ascended into heaven! Some will argue, “It is not the man who goes to heaven, it is the soul of the man that ascends into heaven!”

But wait!

Eliyahu did not die. Eliyahu did not even have a headache, was not ill, or anywhere near death! He was walking along, talking with Elisha, and SUDDENLY, by a great miracle, the fiery chariot appeared and whisked him away up into the air

Elohim did not leave Eliyahu's “body” behind and just take some so-called “soul”! No, the whole man was taken up by the fiery chariot! ELIJAH was taken up into the air out of Elisha's sight!

In studying the definitions of the word “soul” in both the Old and the New Covenants, it NEVER means anything that is extra physical, it simply means “a breathing creature” and that can be human or an animal!

The word “immortal” appears only Three times in the Word of YaHVaH Elohim! It is only found in 1 Timotheos - 1 Timothy 1:17 and it refers to Yahushua! It reads as follows … “Now unto the King Eternal, IMMORTAL...” The word “immortality” occurs only five times in the Brit Chadashah and on each occasion shows that immortality is something which Elohim possesses, and which is promised to man, at the time of the resurrection!

Your Scriptures plainly says that ELOHIM ONLY has immortality! (1 Timotheos - 1 Timothy 6:16).

Thus WHY is it that millions of churchgoing, professing “christians” believe the exact opposite of what the Scripture so plainly states?

Look at this striking example!

For the wages of sin is death; but the GIFT OF Elohim is ETERNAL LIFE through Yahushua the Messiah our Master”! (Romans 6:23).

However the truth is that millions believe the exact opposite of what that scripture plainly says. But they will argue that … “The wages of sin cannot be DEATH, for man does not die, only his BODY dies, and the man, the conscious man, the personality, character, the real person, continues to live on, either in heaven or in hell!” In other words, people argue that the wages of sin is not really DEATH, it is ETERNAL LIFE! Eternal life but in a different place! But this is the precise opposite of what the WORD plainly states and teaches! Is that not what Satan does, turn things around to make it the opposite to the truth?

Next, they will argue, “No, eternal life is not the GIFT of Elohim. It is something with which we are born with. Every one of us is born with a soul, which means we have eternal life already within us!”

But let’s face the simple truth, for the blessed Word of Elohim plainly states that the wages of SIN will KILL YOU! It says that the penalty for breaking YaHVaH’s (Ten) Commandments is DEATH!

However, on the other hand, the GIFT of Elohim for those that do His will is the very OPPOSITE of death and that is ETERNAL LIFE in the “Kingdom of Elohim!”

And all you have to do is ask, when will the Kingdom be here. I can guarantee, it is certainly not now, for it is still in the future, after the Tribulation, yes even after the wonderful and blessed Millennium for at the end there will still be a great upheaval by the enemy. Then it will be only after the Great Judgement Throne, when all those who are worthy in Messiah Yahushua to enter into the New earth that is surrounded by a New heaven after all the events have been completed, and that is the “Kingdom of Elohim!”

The Word insists that YaHVaH Elohim ALONE has immortality; and that we ultimately can inherit immortality, but only through our Saviour Yahushua the Messiah, who is the Word and Elohim!

Thus you do not have an “immortal soul,” for we are all physical, human beings and are subject to death. When we die we go to the grave (sheol), and we are completely oblivious, unconscious of the passage of time, where we await a resurrection! (Iyov - Job 14:14). Thus NO, the argument that the body may die, but “souls” or intellect go with it, for otherwise, why bother with a resurrection of the saints? That would make the Scriptures utter rubbish if that teaching by man, that came out of Roman paganism was true, for does the Word not say?

 “For Elohim (Yahushua) Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of Elohim. And the dead in Messiah will rise first.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.

For, if they were already in heaven as those in the churches tend to believe, why would the Word of Elohim so clearly say “the dead in Messiah shall rise first.” If you check the word “rise” in “Strongs Exhaustive Strong's Concordance and Greek- Dictionary” you will find that it states - NT450: “Anistemi” = “arise,” – “lift up,” – “stand up.” Well, I am sorry, but nowhere does it say that those who are already in heaven come down with Yahushua, but they are, as the Word so clearly states “asleep.” When I mention this word, I am so frequently attacked by “christians” for they seem to hate that word, I certainly do not know, for it is entirely Scriptural, and it is written so clearly in the Word of Elohim, but then “christians’ just don’t seem to like the Word!

“Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Yahushua died and rose again and so we believe that Elohim will bring with Yahushua those who have fallen asleep in Him. According to our Master’s own Word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Master, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.” 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15.

Thus, it is very clear, not a single person has ascended to the heaven where the Father is, not before Yahushua, neither after Yahushua returned to be with the Father and He now sits at His right hand with the atoning blood, in order that should we err, we can repent and be made white as snow at any time during our lives. Thank you blessed Saviour!

For interest, when we are born we were given breath, which in Hebrew is “Ruach” meaning “Spirit” or “breath!” When a person passes, the last breath leaves and it is that which returns that was given as a gift by the Almighty! Thus, we have learnt that the soul has no bearing and it goes with the earthly body, but the gift of life, our spirit, our breath, which is given to every human being as a gift and that is returned to the Father!

The Kingdom of Elohim Will Rule ON THIS EARTH!

WHY have the millions been deceived into believing they are going up to heaven when the Word clearly states that the Messiah is coming back DOWN to the EARTH?

The “Kingdom of Elohim” was Yahushua’s resounding and clear message whilst he was with us on the earth! That message was indeed the “Good News” about His coming, “The KINGDOM,” and its great and central HOPE is the RETURN of our Saviour to the EARTH!

There are literally dozens of Scriptures throughout the Tanach and Brit Chadashah (Old and New Covenant) that plainly teaches that the “Kingdom of Elohim” will be on the earth!

Consider the following Scriptures:

We shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:10.

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth”! Mattityahu - Matthew 5:5.

“… This same Yahushua, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come (to the earth) in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11).

“Behold I come quickly (back to this earth) ... Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of My Elohim ... and I will write upon him the Name of My Elohim, and the name of the city of My Elohim, which is New Jerusalem, which cometh DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN (onto this earth) from my Elohim…” Revelation 3:11,12.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Messiah shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Messiah the Firstfruits; AFTERWARD they that are Messiah's AT HIS COMING”! 1 Corinthians 15:22, 23.

“For if we believe that Yahushua died and rose again, even so them also which sleep (are dead) in Yahushua will Elohim bring with Him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord (He is coming back to this earth) shall not precede (margin) them which are asleep (are dead). For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven (come BACK to THIS EARTH!) with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Elohim: and the dead in Messiah shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them (those who were asleep/dead) in the clouds (a part of this earth's immediate atmosphere) to meet the Lord IN THE AIR (He is coming all the way down OUT of heaven, TO this earth, to the lowest level of clouds where the human eye can see Him!) and so we shall ever be with the Lord”! 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17.

“And His feet shall stand in that day (the Day of YHVH; the day of the Battle of Armageddon, and the return of Messiah) upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east ... and YHVH my Elohim shall come, and all the saints with thee ... and the Eternal shall be king OVER ALL THE EARTH …” Zecharyah - Zechariah 14:4-9.

These are but a few of the many, many plain, incontrovertible Scriptures which absolutely PROVE that Yahushua the Messiah is coming back to the earth and that the earth will be the “Kingdom of Elohim!”

A Closing Note:

The faithful in Yahushua THE Messiah (The Little Flock) have the assurance of true Shalom (peace) in that time to come known as the Tribulation and Jacob’s Trouble for they will be “caught up” whether they be asleep by then or alive.

But right now the faithful in Messiah MUST go forth and share the Word of truth unto as many unbelievers, be they “Christians”, Gentiles or Hebrews and that includes so all those who are lost in a church so lost in pagan practices and theologies, and pray that they will “Return again Unto Me, says YHVH (the LORD)” in order that they also will escape a time of great horror, which is only for those that are not in YaHVaH Elohim and Yahushua THE Messiah.

Although as you will have learned, because of the “Two Witnesses” death and miraculous resurrection many will come to Messiah at that time and it will be the greatest revival in all history, but beloved, it will also be the hardest way, for the consequences will be extremely severe for most, as countless of the tribulation faithful will be put to death, just as the Romans did to the faithful believers who dared to keep the Seventh day Sabbath!

Thus, beloved we must stand renewed and restored in that same faith as it was back in the days of the Apostles, who taught the teachings of Yahushua, and believe me, they only used that Name - Yahushua, never that other name created by evil ones much later, that became “Jesus.” Tragically it was the contamination of Simon Magnus that started the rot as well as the creating a new name, being that evil word “christian” and “Christos” that he formed from the pagan gods “Creston” and “Crestos.” See the link at the bottom of the page!

Later there came that sun worshipper, Emperor Constantine who remained an unbeliever to the day he died, and introduced the Blue Law and the new day of worship, as he put it; “On the venerable day of the SUN,” thus, now this wholly Roman inspired day is being worshipped by all churches on a SUNday! And tragically, pastors and priests dare to call this pagan day of the sun god, SUNday “the Lords day!”

Then of course that same pagan Roman church also added a number of utterly pagan festivals, such as Easter (Ishtar) and Christmas . Over the years, so many have said, “But more people come to church on Christmas than on any day of the year and it is a good chance for them to hear about the Lord?” To be truthful, I have asked countless pastors; How many have actually converted on Christmas day?” The answer is always none. But, let us look what that day really is all about and where its origins come from, for we should all clearly know that Yahushua was NOT born in December in the freezing, icy cold, no He was not, it would have been closer to a feast time such as Trumpets to Tabernacles September/October or Passover March/April. I tend to go for September/October.

The concept of Christmas originated in ancient Egypt in the days of King Osiris and Queen Isis around about 3000 BC - long before the Christian faith was even thought of!! After the untimely death of King Osiris, his wife, Isis, propagated the evil doctrine of the survival of Osiris as a spirit. She claimed a full-grown evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead stump, symbolising the new life of the Osiris spirit from his death. On each anniversary of Osiris birth, which was the date we now know as December 25th, Isis would leave gifts around this tree. Isis became the ‘Queen of Heaven’ and Osiris became the reborn ‘divine son of heaven.’ Osiris later became, through the later Phoenicians, Baal the Sun-god. The ‘Mother and Child’ became chief objects of worship by the Babylonians, from which it spread over the world under various names, such as, Cybel & Deoius in Asia, Fortuna & Jupiter in pagan Rome.

Then during the fourth and fifth century, the Romans under their new popular ‘Christianity’ popularised the ‘mother and child’ concept especially around Christmas time - from which we have many of the Christmas carols such as the Germanic ‘Silent Night Holy Night’ with it's familiar ‘mother and child’ theme. The concept of the Christmas tree originated around 3000 BC in ancient Egypt with King Osiris and Queen Isis and it was part of the winter solstice festival, a pagan feast. Read what Jeremiah had to say about the ancient feast and see if you still would want to put up a tree in your Home?

Hear the word which YHVH speaks to you, O house of Israel. Thus said YHVH, do not learn the way of the heathen, and do not be awed by the signs of the heavens, for the heathen are awed by them. For the prescribed customs of these peoples are worthless for one cuts a tree from the forest, work for the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. They adorn it with silver and gold, they fasten it with nails and hammers so that it does not topple.” Yirmyahu - Jeremiah 10:1-4.

Still want to be part of that evil and horrid pagan “Christmas” I am sorry, but if you do, you will be in great error, and will have to suffer His wrath! Now you know the horrid facts about this so-called feast that you have been keeping for so long, and I can tell you this. STOP this year, for if you continue it in your household for any reason, no matter what, considering that now you know the truth, I am so sorry, BUT, “The wages of sin is death.”

And then there are all Satan’s other evil doers who dared to claim to be “christian” yet they introduced many other pagan customs and traditions, crosses, statues and images into the churches, all of them no better than Pharisees and they might as well have hammered the nails in our blessed Saviour themselves, for they are the murderers of millions as they have misled good men and women christians into paganism!

Beloved, if you have read this study, I am well aware that more than one subject has been covered, but I pray that the area of being “Caught Up” is now much better understood, for so many had thought of heading off into the great heaven and having a wonderful party up there with the angels, etc.

I have been asked by some, but if Elohim is in the “Third Heaven” as I have heard, what about the other ones, well the Scriptures has various words that define three particular heavens, and it is quite simple, it is related to the air the clouds and universe, etc, thus more related to levels of each of these “heavens” but there is only one place where YaHVaH and Messiah reside, and no one knows where that is, we it is known as the Seventh Heaven, being the number of perfection, and seven is that number so frequently mentioned in the word!

In conclusion, the faithful will be taken somewhere safe until seven years later being the actual Second Coming! We have looked at paganism in the general church and if you are in that church, please pray and ask our Heavenly Father to guide you with the leading of the blessed Sanctified (Holy) Spirit and with discernment! Have your own Scriptures at hand, although, not all versions are that accurate, but it will do. Obviously, I tend to go a great deal into the Scriptural Hebrew, and my Greek brother spends time on the Greek side for me! But, I pray that you will come to know HIM whose actual Name is Yahushua THE Messiah, who was from the beginning with YaHVaH Elohim!

Some will say, but what name we use is a translation, sorry it is not, that has been a Satanic deception, for, let us be totally honest, we can translate words, for how else can we understand what Elohim has given us in His Word? But we must NEVER change NAMES! For why else does it so clearly state or demand on many occasions “My NAME” -  “ask in MY NAME. Let me ask you a very simple question, did we change the name of the late Soviet President Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev? No we did not, neither did we ever change the name of anyone else in the news or any of the many foreign tennis players whose name are almost impossible to pronounce, yet news readers do so anyway? Let us have a look at some of the names at Wimbledon 2013Novak Djokovic, Agnieszka Radwanska, Stanislas Wawrinka, Petra Kvitova, Janko Tipsarevic, Dominika Cibulkova, Richard Gasquet, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Philipp Kohlschreiber.

Considering those names are close to impossible to pronounce, I ask in sheer simplicity, WHY did they manage to keep “Yahushua” Moshe’s successor of the Tanach – Old Covenant, so close to the original and make it “Joshua,” whilst our most blessed Saviour and Messiah, Who gave His Life that we might be saved and have everlasting Life, when He comes for us, yet He was given a lower name, that is so sadly based on the name of a pagan god. But if even if that was not true, why not allow Him to have His rightful name, when another received a name that was at least more befitting, when they could have given Messiah the Name of Jahushua, with a “J” instead of a “Y.” But, if you understand who was responsible, on Simon Magnus the one who was a sorcerer and servant of Satan, it does not take much to work out how it came about, and now you will also know how you all came to be called “christians?” That is a name of the greatest insult for one who genuinely believes on our Master and Saviour Yahushua, blessed be His Name!

Having said all the above, I believe with all my heart and soul that you will now be feeling many things, some will have anger, but others will know that it is truth and in your heart you will have commenced to reject those things that has been introduced by those who do not know the Almighty Father, YaHVaH Elohim, for what they have taught are certainly not from a loving Elohim and our beloved Messiah!

If you have come into the Truth of His Word, read more of the studies that are online, and then why not start a branch of The RETURN Movement wherever you are and become part of The Little Flock. We are not many, for Messiah told us this, but we are scattered worldwide and meet in small groups and have blessed meetings and study times in Him!

May I suggest that you also read the following studies:

 

Third Temple & the Two Witnesses

 

Restoring the Faith of the Apostles - Apostle Shime’on (Peter) Vs the Bishop of Rome

 

“Teach me Your way, O YHVH. I will walk in Your truth.
UNITE MY HEART TO FEAR YOUR NAME!”

May YHVH Elohim bless and keep you in the palm of His hand, in Messiah Yahushua’s loving Name!

Yahushua said; “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the Prophets: They will all be taught by Elohim. Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to Me. No one has seen the Father except the One who is from Elohim; only He has seen the Father. I tell you the truth he who believes has everlasting life.” Yochanan (John) 6:43-48.
