WHY THE PARABLE OF THE WISE AND FOOLISH VIRGINS IS ABOUT THE RAPTURE!

Those who were ready, went in with the Bridegroom, and the door was shut.

Contrary to what some are saying because they find God's Commandments burdensome or vile, as in the case of those Christians that accept homosexuality, sexual fornication outside of wedlock, and abortion, Jesus or Yahshua's Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins is all about the Sanctification of the Church, and what constitutes one's worthiness to partake in the REWARD of the Rapture.

If believers in Christ are not Sanctified after they are Justified by Faith in Yahshua's Sacrifice for Sin, which can happen if they fall into unrepentant sin, they will lose rewards such as protection from calamity and shielding from demonic oppression long before they appear at the Judgment Seat of Christ. They may also suffer more acutely than their Sanctified brethren when periods of tribulation intensify due to the fact that they are opening themselves up to demonic attack by ignoring their need to be holy or set apart for the Kingdom of God. Unfortunately, the need to be holy is not stressed enough in Churches today, and the result has been gross and unrepentant sinfulness within the Church. They seem to have overlooked the Apostle Peter's teaching regarding our need to be holy:

“Therefore, get your minds ready for work, keep yourselves under control, and fix your hopes fully on the gift you will receive when Yeshua the Messiah is revealed. 14 As people who obey God, do not let yourselves be shaped by the evil desires you used to have when you were still ignorant. 15 On the contrary, following the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in your entire way of life; 16 since the Tanakh (i.e. Old Testament) says, “You are to be holy because I am holy.” (See Leviticus 11:44, 45; 19:2; 20:7) 17 Also, if you are addressing as Father the one who judges impartially according to each person’s actions, you should live out your temporary stay on earth in fear. 18 You should be aware that the ransom paid to free you from the worthless way of life which your fathers passed on to you did not consist of anything perishable like silver or gold; 19 on the contrary, it was the costly bloody sacrificial death of the Messiah, as of a lamb without defect or spot.” ~ 1 Peter 1:13-19 (CJB)

The Apostle Peter made it clear in this passage that we are all called to be holy or set apart for God's service, just as Yahshua was, and we cannot be good servants for Christ unless we strive to be holy just as our Messiah is. In order to do this, we need to take the proverb which says that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (See Proverbs 1:7; Psalm 111:10) to heart and fear the God who has redeemed us lest we slip into sin. As such, the following allegorical connections to various references in the Parable of the Ten Virgins should not be overlooked:

The OIL in the Ten Virgin's Lamps is a symbol connected to the Holy Spirit. It represents our striving after holiness through the SANCTIFYING GIFTS and fruits of the Holy Spirit. Those who have shown themselves approved by striving to keep Christ's Commandments to live holy, love-filled lives, seeking after plenty of spiritual gifts, and producing good spiritual fruit are seen as WISE. Meanwhile, those virgins who have no clue what it means to be holy, do not strive for holiness, have few spiritual gifts, are guilty of unrepentant sin, and more often produce rotten spiritual fruit instead of good, are FOOLISH.

In the case of the Foolish Virgins, their virginity is a symbol of their SALVATION, just as it is for the Wise Virgins. But even though they are all JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in Yahshua, and seen as pure and holy virgins, they are not all SANCTIFIED BY GOOD WORKS in keeping with their spiritual calling. This is because half of them have not been taught to examine their behavior regularly, repent of wrong-doing, and strive to better honor their commitment to be like Christ, Who is holiness personified:

“Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ (i.e. Yahshua Ha Mashiach) is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.” - 2 Corinthians 13:5 

In fact, this personal act of somber inner examination should be encouraged as an essential part of every Communion service or enactment of the Lord's Supper! Otherwise, how do you think that some of the saints partaking of the Lord's Supper were eating and drinking JUDGMENT upon themselves?

“For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.” - 1 Corinthians 11:29 

The Apostle Paul also went on to say that not recognizing our unworthiness to ritually partake of Christ's body and blood is the reason why some believers get sick and die young.

“For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.” - 1 Corinthians 11:30-32

Though some say this was ONLY a warning not to be a glutton when partaking of the Lord's Supper, it makes no sense that God would allow believers to get sick and die just for eating too much! This is because, by eating too much, they are showing that they have no reverence for Yahshua's sacrifice, and this is what caused them to do this. There are also other places in Scripture where we are told that we can be condemned for not seeking the power of the Holy Spirit to help us to become holy and righteous. This is why Yahshua said:

“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” - John 3:5-8

Yahshua also said: “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” - John 3:18-21

To better understand this possibility of judgment for not discerning the holiness of the Lord's body which we are to become a part of, and to understand the rest of this article, read Revelation Chapter 3, verses 7 through 22, which reveal Christ's praises and judgments directed toward two of the Seven Churches that exist in these Last Days before the Rapture. According to this section of the final book of the New Testament, the BRIDE OF CHRIST is identified as the Church of Philadelphia, and by way of the association of the Five Wise Virgins with the Bride, those in five of the other churches outside of the Church of Laodicea that learn how to love God and one another without making the Gospel null and void, and who succeed in doing so before the Rapture:

“He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.” - Revelation 3:12

Did you catch the fact in the above scripture that the Church of Philadelphia is the only Church told that Yahshua will write on them, inscribing the Name of God and the name of the New Jerusalem (which is called the Bride of Christ in Revelation 21:9-11)? By marking them with these sacred names, Yahshua is sealing them as His Bride! This is the main reason why I can confidently say that the Bride is that Church, and the Wise Virgins come from among the other five churches outside of the Church of Laodicea, where all of it's members are in danger of being left behind. Because the Faithful Church made up of the Church of Brotherly Love and her wise attendants is the only congregation outside of the Martyrs in the Church of Smyrna that have died before the Rapture which exemplify Yahshua's teaching to love YHWH God and one another.

"And the Foolish said to the Wise, 'give us some of your oil'..."

Yahshua's Bride is full of brotherly or agape love, and her acceptable handmaidens are the Wise Virgins from the other churches that had some good characteristics as well as problems doing God's will, but were not as bad off as the Laodicean Church full of lukewarm believers that despise their need for Sanctification, which is the process of becoming holy and righteous by loving submission to Christ and the Holy Spirit. This is why Yahshua says to them: "because you have kept My COMMAND to persevere, I will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world" (Rev. 3:10). Thus, they are the ONLY CHURCH promised deliverance from the Great Tribulation or worldwide hour of trial!

Though some like to twist the truth, the central message of the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins is not about requiring saints to do good works to be saved, but about the Bride and her entourage's active and demonstrative LOVE for Yahshua. If you love your Messiah, you will want to keep His commandments out of love. In addition, you will want to draw very near to Christ through His Spirit, and do as the Spirit directs you. If you're hearing the Spirit correctly, then you will be directed to keep Yahshua's commandments to love others and flee from sin. This is why Yahshua said:

“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” - Matthew 22:37-40

“If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” - John 14:15-17 

Note that in the above scriptures, Yahshua is saying that the criterion for receiving the Holy Spirit is the desire to KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, and that the Moral Law found in the Pentateuch and the Prophetic books of the Old Testament are still in affect. These same Moral Laws are found in His Sermon on the Mount (See Matthew Chapters 5 through 7). These embody Christ's commands to love our Heavenly Father and one another with our whole hearts, and to watch for His Second Coming in the Rapture (Mark 13:34-37). Thus, those who are truly born again of the Spirit of God become children of God through the Seal of the Holy Spirit, not because they have earned their Salvation, but because they have been Sanctified, having diligently sought to earn spiritual REWARDS. Those who seek Sanctification earn very important rewards, including the gift of spiritual discernment, and powerful protection from demonic oppression (which can cause all manner of sickness and disease), and shielding from satanic attack.

Like the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the RAPTURE is a REWARD for Sanctification, not an automatic gift of Salvation. Unlike one's Salvation through the belief or acceptance of the sacrifice of the Blood of Christ to pay for all our sins, our rewards can be lost. The Spiritual Reward process is not part of the act of Salvation that will allow saints to live with Yahshua forever upon their deaths, but of deliverance from judgment and suffering while still alive. The following verses help us to understand what the Bible says about keeping the commandments under the New Covenant:

"Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps."

CHRIST CALLS THOSE WHO LOVE HIM TO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS!

Matthew 5:19 - “Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

(NOTE: Christ is speaking about the Commandments He gave in His Sermon on the Mount, which emphasized the Moral Law.) 

John 14:15-16 - “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever...”

John 14:21 - “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

John 15:9-10 - “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.”

As an example of what not heeding the preceding scriptural passages and breaking the commandments does, look at what Yahshua says to the Church of Laodicea at the end of Revelation Chapter 3. There, Yahshua says that He may spit the Laodicean variety of Christians out of His mouth if they do not repent, and this act of spitting them out will necessarily be at the time of the Rapture. As a result of not repenting, they will be spit out or left behind because they disgust Yahshua with their lukewarm unwillingness to stand up for their faith in HIM.

This is the stark, naked truth. If it upsets you, it's because you are confusing the Justification received through accepting the shed blood of Christ as a perfect atonement sacrifice for your sins with the need to love Yahshua the Holy One, and thus become Sanctified. These are two different things that are mutually dependent upon one another, but which are not always present in every saved believer until they truly repent and behave in accord with Christ's commands. So it is our duty to lovingly and gently instruct fellow believers in this way:

“Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers, 2 older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.” - 1 Timothy 5:1-2

Yahshua is the One who first loved us, and chose to be sacrificed for us, and we are called to show our love for Him and His Salvation, and our love for one another by keeping His commandments. To lovingly keep those commandments, we must constantly be striving for Sanctification and approval by God, which we cannot be rewarded for if we do not possess it. That is why the Foolish Virgins get shut out of the Wedding at the time of the Rapture. They do not possess the required Sanctification needed to receive the Blessed Hope and reward of the Rapture.

In closing, I just wanted to say this:

😇😍🤩ARE YOU A SAINT OR JUST A FORGIVEN SINNER? 🤩😍😇

Yahshua didn’t just shed His blood to forgive us of our sins, but also to deliver us from the power of sin by covering us with His righteousness, and nailing our sin to the Cross (Romans 3:21-26; Colossians 2:13-15)! He came to turn us from sinners into a royal priesthood full of SAINTS! (1 Peter 2:9)

I don’t know about you, but the old ‘sinner’ in me died (Romans 6:11), was buried with Christ (Romans 6:2, 4), and via Christ's resurrection and His giving of the Holy Spirit, I am now and forever a New Creation in Yahshua or Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17)! I am also obedient to Yahshua, keeping His commandments so that I cannot be condemned (John 3:36).

THE BRIDE OF CHRIST WILL 

ESCAPE THE COMING HOUR OF TRIAL!

https://pillarofenoch.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-bride-of-christ-escapes-hour-of.html

A DIRE WARNING TO CHURCHES THAT ARE ASLEEP AND UNPREPARED TO FACE HARDSHIP!

The Rich, Selfish Laodicean Church - Click Image To Enlarge

A dear Brother in Christ who does not believe in a Rapture before the Great Tribulation begins said something that really hit me hard the other day. He said that, instead of preaching this idea that the Rapture will rescue Christians from the worst time in human history, all Pastors should have been preparing their congregations to help one another through the ever-present threat of tribulation, war and suffering. They also should have made their Churches get organized and ready to help each other in the event that their Eschatology is incorrect and their congregations may have to suffer even more hardship and death. And you know what? He is absolutely right, and I felt ashamed to admit it.

Many Catholic and Protestant Churches are part of the Endtime Church of Laodicea because they either don't teach anything about the End Times at all, or how to face and cope with the tribulations that believers often experience if they are truly following Christ. So the majority of believers are unprepared to face harsh persecution, hardship and suffering. But the Book of Revelation makes it clear that those in the Church of Laodicea or the Lukewarm Church are going to be spit out of God's mouth, meaning that they WILL BE LEFT BEHIND when the Rapture occurs:

~*~ Revelation 3:14-17 ~*~ PROPHECY AGAINST THE LUKEWARM CHURCH ~ “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write: ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth (i.e. LEAVE YOU BEHIND!). 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’ (i.e. Prosperity Gospel) - and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked - I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.’”

The other Pastors that do preach about the End Times but say that the Rapture will save all their faithful sheep are no better, because - in either case - this will leave the Churches all across America and the world that do the same things completely incapable of helping their own when things here on Earth begin to spin out of control, and into cataclysmic chaos before the Rapture. What's more, those who preach the Rapture, and also preach the false Health and Wealth or Prosperity Gospel, and that Grace is a license to sin are setting up many in these Laodicean Churches to be left behind to SUFFER ALL SORTS OF HARDSHIP, DEPRIVATION AND TERROR ALONE!

This is the most tragic thing since the majority of the unrepentant and lukewarm believers in Christ around the world are going to be left behind. As a result, they are going to have to suffer tremendous terror, starvation, torture, hardship and death as they are refined in the fire of tribulation. Furthermore, those of them that survive all the cataclysms, wars and death camps will have to see all the destruction and death all around them until the possible Rapture of the Faithful Remnant at the time that the Two Witnesses are raised. The reason I say this is because the raising and catching up of the Two Witnesses in Revelation Chapter 11 suggests that there could be another Rapture event just before the Bowls of God's fiercest Wrath are poured out (See Revelation 11:11-13).

For this reason, many of the churches in America and other places have done a terrible disservice to the believers that trust them. Countless apostate or lukewarm Christians are going to die without a chance to repent and make amends for their sins because of the lack of foresight that many Pastors have. What's more, the blood of all the believers that die because of their narrow-mindedness and desire to not rock their denominational boat is going to be on those Pastor's hands. What's more, those Pastors may have to pay for their mistakes by being sent to Hell for all eternity because their actions will add so greatly to the suffering of those left behind. As the Prophet Ezekiel and our Messiah Yahshua warned:

~*~ Ezekiel 3:18 ~*~ “When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.”

~*~ Matthew 25:41-45 ~*~ “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’” 

Pastors and Churches that do not make every effort to warn their congregations and mobilize them to help one another when disaster strikes are not doing as God commands in the preceding scriptures. But ironically, this makes them a part of the very Laodicean Church members they are being commanded to help feed, clothe and care for, even though they may be the least in God's Kingdom. The Prophecy against Laodicea warns that God will rebuke and chasten the lukewarm believers by refining them in the fire of the Great Tribulation. The same prophecy also suggests that there is hope that these lukewarm believers will become fully on fire for God, and that they will eventually be ready to take up their places in Christ's Coming Kingdom:

~*~ Revelation 3:19-22 ~*~ REBUKE AND REFINING OF THE LUKEWARM CHURCH ~ “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

The salvation and redemption of these lukewarm believers is possible, but it would be easier for them to survive and become the warriors for Christ that they will be called to be if their churches had prepared them to face their fate. At this late date, I really don't know if there's time for most of these Laodicean Churches and Pastors to repent of this decision they have made to not preach about the need for whole congregations to prepare to face everyday tribulation and hardship together, much less the horrific deprivation and death that those left behind will experience during the Great Tribulation. But the sooner that all the Churches on this planet accept that fact that these are the End Times, and the sooner they start mobilizing their congregations to help one another in the event of cataclysmic wars or disasters, the better!

So, if you are a concerned believer going to a Church that does NOT preach about these End Times or the potential hardships that ALL true believers may face, I challenge you to approach your Pastor, and either hand that person this message, or tell him or her in your own words that they are potentially damning themselves to Hell if they don't change their reckless and irresponsible ways NOW! What's more, many of their lukewarm congregants are going to have to suffer horribly because the support that their Church could have given them was never put in place!

HEED THIS WORD THAT MOST WILL BE LEFT BEHIND!

THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LORD for the LARGE, Wealthy, and LUKEWARM CHURCH! The Spirit of Yah asked me to make THIS SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY TO WARN that the MAJORITY OF THE CHURCH WILL BE LEFT BEHIND, and the FIRST RAPTURE will be TOUTED AS A DEMONIC DELUSION BECAUSE it will be SO SMALL, with most of the professing Christians on the Earth today Left Behind!

ONLY THE POOR AND PERSECUTED CHURCH OF PHILADELPHIA OR BROTHERLY LOVE WILL BE SPARED, and this is according to Revelation 3:9-10! This Church consists of LESS THAN 225 MILLION BELIEVERS (or about 200 Million, which is less than 3 percent of the 2.5 Billion Christians today) AROUND THE WORLD TODAY and ONLY THEY will be spared  because they are seen as the pure and spotless Bride of Christ. WHAT'S MORE, SOME OF THEM MAY RETURN TO BE PART THE 144,000 WITNESSES that will try to save some of the 2.25 BILLION CHRISTIANS that will be LEFT BEHIND and that will be under judgment unless they repent. As it says in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 7:

Matthew 7:13-23 ~ “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. 15 (MY PARAPHRASE: ONLY A FEW FIND THE NARROW WAY that leads to Life!)

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them. 21 (MY PARAPHRASE: Good believers that are born again and in love with Yahshua do not bear BAD fruit! They bear good fruit, and if they do not, they are to be cast into the fire of Hell!) 

Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” (MY PARAPHRASE: Unless you are doing good works based on the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and you are in a love relationship with Yahshua where you spend much time in His presence, you are not doing the will of Yahweh, but your own, and you don't KNOW Yahshua, and He doesn't know you because you have behaved as a stranger toward Him!)

SADLY, According to the above Scripture, many will NOT find the Narrow Way that leads to Everlasting Life! THIS APPLIES TO CHRISTIANS WHO are Backslidden and Lukewarm, and REFUSE TO REPENT NOW! Indeed, SOME OF THE MOST TERRIFYING VISIONS OF THE FUTURE WILL BE TRUE FOR MANY in the CHURCH today! MANY CHRISTIANS will be HUNTED DOWN, AND THOSE WHO GET CAUGHT WILL BE TORTURED, RAPED, BEHEADED, EATEN AND OTHERWISE DESTROYED because they do not make an effort to keep Yahshua's Commandments to love one another, and to do good works in keeping with our Faith, and our love for Yahshua.

REPENT NOW by giving to the poor, asking God and people you have wronged for forgiveness, making amends to those whom you have hurt, preaching the Gospel to the Lost, and begging them to TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS SO THAT THEY WILL NOT PERISH IN HELL, OR THE LAKE OF FIRE, which is very large, and will be full of innumerable people who thought they were Christians!

Remember what Christ said when He spoke of the DIVISION OF THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS in His Parable. This Parable has a message to the Church TODAY that MANY WOULD-BE CHRISTIANS WILL BE SEEN AS GOATS AND CAST INTO HELL for NOT LOVING their brethren, who are fellow believers that are poor and needy and abandoned by most!
(See Matthew 25:31-46 for the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats)

REPENT NOW SO YOU WILL NOT BE LEFT BEHIND!

To make sure that you are ready for the Rapture, let go of all bitterness and Hate, ask God's Son Yahshua or Jesus to change you from within and fill you with His Spirit, ask people that you have hurt for forgiveness where you can, give to the poor if you can, help those in need and preach the Gospel to those you know who are lost, and do it NOW, because the end is nearer than most think!

THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LORD

Given to Helena Lehman on May 5th, 2017

Ignore It At YOUR OWN PERIL!

ADDITIONAL RAPTURE WARNING! The Rapture is going to happen on an ordinary day, just like any other. It won't start off different, or be marked by any obvious signs. But it will change suddenly, in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, and will end tragically for billions, while only a handful will escape the sudden destruction to follow. So you don't want to be left behind! Repent NOW! Seek Yahshua or Jesus! Make amends! Preach the Gospel!

I also want to warn that, since so many professing Christians will be left behind in the Rapture, that it is LIKELY THAT THEY WILL BE FED THE LIE THAT THE FIRST RAPTURE EITHER DID NOT HAPPEN, OR THAT IT WAS MEANT TO CLEANSE THE EARTH OF BAD PEOPLE who would have interfered with the plans of the false Christ or Messiah who will take control after the Rapture. But this is the New Age and Occult view of the Rapture, NOT THE TRUTH!

The Antichrist and his minions will carry out the plans of the Illuminati, who are Satanists, Luciferians, and those who listen to and follow demons, the FALLEN ANGELS and their purely EVIL Nephilim servants. These evil entities will first appear as ANGELS OF LIGHT during the Great Tribulation, but they will eventually attempt to slaughter the vast majority of people on this planet because they HATE HUMANITY, and see us as nothing but SLAVES, FOOD and DRINK!

FOR THOSE WHO CAN SURVIVE IN THE WILDERNESS FOR 1,260 DAYS, THERE MAY BE SOME HOPE, FOR THERE ARE MANY HINTS IN SCRIPTURE THAT THERE WILL BE A SECOND RAPTURE AT THE TIME THAT THE TWO WITNESSES ARE RAISED UP! BUT YOU MUST SURVIVE UNTIL THEN if you want to take part, and this will be extremely difficult. Unfortunately, the Bible says that many believers will be martyred by beheading and a multitude of calamities during the time period before the Second Rapture. But those who are faithful to the END will be RAISED UP just before the Millennial Rule of Christ is inaugurated.

I ALSO WANT IT TO BE CLEAR THAT I AM NOT SAYING THE RAPTURE WILL BE SECRET! Not at all! Rather, it will be OBVIOUS that it is occurring, and there will be a Sign of the Son of Man in Heaven, but I do not think it will only be made up of stars, planets, and the Sun and Moon! Instead, it will also be made up of Christ and His angels appearing in great GLORY in the clouds, and everyone will SEE THEM!

OUR BRIDEGROOM IS COMING VERY SOON! 

MAKE YOURSELF READY!

Revelation 3:9-10, ONLY CHURCH OF PHILADELPHIA SPARED! ~ “Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” 

Revelation 3:14-17, CHURCH OF THE LUKEWARM LEFT BEHIND! ~ “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’ - and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked...”

PLEASE NOTE: The Church of Philadelphia and the Church of Laodicea were real churches that existed in Asia Minor at the time that the Apostle Paul was preaching there. But they also have a prophetic End Time Component.

PROPHETIC WARNING 
AGAINST THE LUKEWARM!

WARNING: NOT ALL BELIEVERS WILL BE TAKEN IN THE RAPTURE!

Click on Image to Enlarge

Many appear to be unaware that salvation from everlasting death through Yahshua (i.e. Jesus) and qualifying for the Rapture as His Bride are two different things. This is because some of those who are saved are saved as though through the fire due to their spiritual waywardness. Furthermore, if these wayward souls do not learn to repent fully and turn away from sin before the Rapture, these believers in Yahshua will NOT be taken in the Rapture, but will be left behind to be spiritually refined in the fires of the Great Tribulation.

There are ample Scriptures to prove this, including the following one, which I think best summarizes how Yahshua is going to judge the Seven Churches of Revelation:

1 Corinthians 3:9-17 ~ "For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. 16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 IF ANYONE DEFILES THE TEMPLE OF GOD, GOD WILL DESTROY HIM. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are."

So, as Temples of the Holy Spirit, believers are called to keep our temples or bodies clean by fleeing from sin and living holy lives. Otherwise we risk being physically destroyed by being removed from God's protection!

Now, looking at the larger picture being painted in the Book of Revelation by the Seven Churches, it is clear that these churches are filled with different types of believers, Of the seven, one is signaled out as so disgusting to Yahshua that He is going to spew them out of His mouth, meaning that they will not be protected from the Tribulation. This is the Laodicean Church, or the one whose description portrays it as a modern "Health and Wealth" or "Name It and Claim It" type of church.

But they are not the only church that Christ is not fully pleased with. In fact, only two groups of believers in these churches or congregations are not criticized for their failures and need for improvement. Furthermore, it is only these two that are signaled out as worthy of great rewards for their faithfulness. One is the Church of Smyrna, which is a church made up of the souls of those who are heavily persecuted for Yahshua's sake, and who become martyrs for the faith.

The second Church, and the only one offered the promise of escape from the Great Tribulation via the Rapture, is the Church of Philadelphia, or Church of Brotherly Love, which is also identified as the Bride of Christ described in Revelation 21. This can be seen by comparing Revelation 3:12 with Revelation 21:2-12. This church is filled with believers who grasp onto Yahshua with all their might, and - although they may have little strength - they refuse to let Him go, and they persevere in their faith through every trial. For this reason, these are the ONLY believers who are deemed fully worthy of the Rapture escape, and only they will be taken when the time comes:

Revelation 3:10-11 ~ "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 Behold,I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown." 

This Scripture is clear that it is only those in the Church of Philadelphia that are being offered the ability to escape the Hour of Trial, which is the Great Tribulation. Those in the other churches that are lacking - and sadly there are many - WILL BE LEFT BEHIND to be refined as through the fire, just as Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 3. Through the Seven Churches, we are all being warned that those taken in the Rapture are only going to be a select few, and we must all make every effort to be ready when Yahshua comes for us!

This means examining our hearts for their intent, asking Yahweh God for forgiveness where needed and forgiving others, and fully repenting by turning away from sin and weaning out the bad things that the Holy Spirit lets us know that God disapproves of. If believers remember to do this, then they will have no cause to worry that they will be left behind when the Rapture comes.

MARANATHA! GET READY!

YAHSHUA IS COMING VERY SOON!

WARNING: ARE YOUR EARS GETTING TICKLED TO HELL?

ON THE GRAPHIC ABOVE: 

2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NASB) - “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.”

The following is a very revealing conversation that went on between myself and another believer on Facebook after they unfriended me. I am sharing it as a lesson in why the Church is in such deep and perilous trouble due to False Teachers and False Gospels. If it causes you to no longer wish to be my friend also, that can't be helped. I must continue to share the truth and warn the Body of Christ, even if the truth sometimes hurts.

Conversation started at 5:39 am on June 21st, 2014, the Summer Solstice:

Shalom Disgruntled Sister in Christ.

Could you let me know why you took me off of your friend's list after I accepted it? I'm curious since you said that you loved my blog, but then later unfriended me without any explanation.

Thanks,
Helena

From Disgruntled Sister in Christ

Hi Helena, please take no offence...I began to read other articles and cannot agree about certain things i.e. I watch Joyce Meyer daily and think she is doing a sterling job as an overcomer of child abuse such as I...It was God and my FAITH that led me to the truth, as with her and what I have come to know is through His guidance.  I personally do not believe that she or Joel Osteen have bad intentions as he too has great messages to share with his audience.  It is really just a matter of opinion and personal choice. Please kindly address me in private as I would do with you.

Dear Disgruntled Sister in Christ,

I don't take any offense, but I am sorry that you were offended by my recent article about the False Signs and Wonders and Health and Wealth Gospels being preached in many churches today, even though it was only one of many of my articles that have nothing to do with these false preachers and false Gospels. I'm sorry that this one negative article dissuaded you from delving deeper into the wealth of knowledge about God and His Son and Spirit on my web site and blog, especially since the majority of it doesn't mention the names of any preachers other than myself and the writers of the Bible.

But, for your information, I have done research on both Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen and what they teach, and it soon became obvious to me that neither one is preaching the whole truth. They may say things that are uplifting and pleasing to the ears, but they do not warn their flocks about the great apostasy that is sweeping the Laodicean or End Time Church because they are a part of it. They also do not address the wages of sin or beseech their flocks to repent and give up their love of the world in order to follow Christ.

They no not warn people that Yahshua is coming down from Heaven soon to judge the world and slay the wicked, and they need to prepare their hearts for the greater reality of Heaven or lose the right to go there! Those who preach a watered down Gospel that does not include these warnings are NOT friends of Christ or preachers of righteousness! They are wicked leaders who will be spit out of Yahshua's mouth when He comes to save His own.

I do not doubt that these teachers you appreciate have some great teachings to share. I was swayed by some of their teachings also in the past, but then soon realized how spiritually bankrupt most of them are. This is because their Gospel is watered down and lukewarm, and Yahshua detests this in those who profess to shepherd His people Israel. As it says in the Book of Revelation:

To The Lukewarm Church: “And to the angel of the Church of the Laodiceans write,

‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.”’”

I pray that God will open your eyes regarding these people. In the meantime, please don't shut out my teachings, because I can guarantee that you will NOT hear about the deeper things of God that I teach about from lukewarm preachers like Osteen and Meyer.

Love and Blessings,
Helena Lehman
