WHAT REVELATION CH. 6, DANIEL CH. 9, AND 2ND THESSALONIANS CH. 2 REVEAL ABOUT THE TIMING OF THE RAPTURE

The Coming of Yahshua Is Two-Fold, First In Rapture, Then To Destroy Evil 

PLEASE NOTE: Along with the preceding Four Living Creatures article linked to below, this article was updated on February 16th, 2020, and again on March 18th, 2024. In this revision, I have removed all references to the Heavenly Signs that I was considering in 2020 so as not to confuse anyone. The facts remaining are still true and applicable, to the best of my knowledge.

Before or after reading this article, you may want to read or review the article I wrote just before it. It is entitled: “THE FOUR LIVING CREATURES: AMAZING SYMBOLIC KEYS TO UNDERSTANDING REVELATION CHAPTERS 4, 6 AND 7”, which was updated along with this article. To read it, you can click on the title name in this paragraph to read it on a new page in your browser. This preceding article has carefully shown that the Living Creatures in Revelation Chapters 4 and 6, and the Four Angels standing at the Four Corners of the Earth in Revelation Chapter 7 are targeting this current era in history. For the purposes of this study, which is essentially Part 2 of the preceding article, the connection of the Four Living Creatures with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the prophetically important years connected to the Hallel Psalms indicate that we are indeed at the threshold of the Great Tribulation.

The Blood Moon Triads that specifically pointed to 2011 and 2018, and which act as a celestial frame around the amazing Blood Moon Tetrad on Jewish Feasts that occurred between Passover of 2014 and Sukkot of 2015 and the three consecutive Solar Eclipses during Chanukah of 2020, 2021, and 2022 shows that the years 2011 through 2018 are extremely significant. These years are prophetically attached to the Hallel Psalms 111 through 118, which are read in the synagogues as part of Jewish Liturgy at Passover and other High Holy Days. Specifically, these years have significance as a time of judgment. In fact, these years may be directly tied to the opening of at least Five of the Seven Seal Judgments spoken of in the Book of Revelation. The Seventy Weeks Prophecy in Daniel Chapter 9 further validates my understanding of these years as a period of judgment, and a prelude to the Rapture of the Church and the Sudden Destruction that awaits those who are left behind.

According to a study I did in my book “The Language of God in Prophecy”, the Seventy Weeks Prophecy in Daniel Chapter 9 can be explained thus: Yahshua confirmed the New Covenant with mankind and put an end to sacrifice and offering when He died on the Cross for our sins and rose from the dead. Furthermore, the abomination of desolation was not on a wing of the temple, but was the veil inside the temple that was torn in two when Yahshua died on the Cross. This veil was between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place where the Ark of the Covenant was located, and it signified our separation from God due to sin.

However, Yahshua's body was broken to free us from the debt and power of sin, just as the veil was torn in two to indicate this. So it also meant that the professional priesthood was no longer necessary. In fact, everyone who loves Yahshua and follows Him has full access to God through Yahshua's Spirit - without any need for priests. Indeed, all who are born-again are royal priests in the Kingdom of God (Hebrews 9:11-15). However, this beautiful message of redemption was despised by the priests, who didn't want to lose their jobs. So there can be no doubt that they replaced the veil in the Temple with one that wasn't torn, and this became the abomination of desolation.

Looking back at my study of Daniel 9:25-27 that was originally in my book, and which was published in 2006, I saw a number of errors I had made in it. So I have copied and rewritten it here to present it in a fresh new light:

Revised Excerpt From Pages 327 through 330 in 2013
Edition of “The Language of God in Prophecy”, Revision  Start:
Daniel 9:25-27 ~ “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince (Yahshua or Jesus), there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks (i.e. in the 70th Week), Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; and the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 Then (in the 70th Week) he (i.e. the Messiah) shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; but in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering (with His sacrificial death as the Passover Lamb of God). And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate (or: and the “wing" (i.e. “VEIL") shall be an abomination that will make desolation), even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate.”
The Scripture quoted above is known as the Prophecy of Daniel's Seventy Weeks. As I have shown with the interpretations I've added in parentheses into the passages above, Yahshua confirmed the New Covenant in the middle of the Prophet Daniel’s Seventieth Week, and it is therefore strange that Prophecy teachers say that verse 27 is speaking about the Antichrist or Man of Sin. Personally, I think they are wrong. Instead, I believe that all three verses have already been fulfilled by Yahshua. Let me explain how I see this:

The first 483 years or 69 weeks of years pinpointed by Daniel’s prophecy fell between 486 BC, when the Babylonian Exile of the Jews officially ended, and the birth of Christ in 3 BC. It began in 457 BC with the Persian King Artaxerxes‘ decree allowing the Jews to return to Israel and rebuild Jerusalem, and ended with the baptism of Christ in 27 AD, just before Christ began His public ministry. The second prophetic period of the 70th week or 7 years of this prophecy is the period from 27 AD to 34 AD. These seven years began with Yahshua’s public ministry to the Jews. Now, since Yahshua was likely born in September of 3 BC, He would have been 29 years old in 27 AD. Luke confirms that Yahshua was around 30 years old when He began His public ministry in Judea (Luke 3:23) - and if we add the 9 months that Yahshua spent in Miriam’s womb - Yahshua was indeed around 30 in 27 AD!

Since the need for sacrifices and offerings in the Temple in Jerusalem were no longer required after Yahshua died on the Cross, this suggests that the Messiah was cut off after one half of a week of years, or three and a half years had passed, and I showed this to be true in my book “The Language of God in Humanity”. This pinpoints Yahshua’s crucifixion to the day before Passover in 31 AD. Most prophecy teachers seem to miss this fact, and the fact that Yahshua’s resurrection from the dead then brought the need for “sacrifice and offering” in the Temple in Jerusalem to no longer be necessary.

Now, let me explain what the "wing" of the temple is referring to in Daniel's Prophecy. The Gospel of Matthew clearly says that, when Yahshua died, the veil in the Jerusalem Temple to Yahweh was torn in two:
Matthew 27:50-52 ~ “And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.” 
This Scripture not only tells us that the veil in the Temple was torn in two, but that - at the same moment - there was an earthquake, and many tombs in the vicinity of Yahshua's tomb that contained the bodily remains of righteous Isrealites that had died before Christ's death were opened. Furthermore, shortly after Yahshua rose from the dead, many of the remains of these righteous people that had hoped in the coming of their Messiah before they died were raised from the dead in the first stage of the First Resurrection!

This veil or curtain between the Holy and Most Holy Place in the Temple served to remind men that they could have no fellowship with God without blood atonement, and no blood sacrifice could ever fully atone for sin unless it was without sin and without physical blemish. Therefore, the torn veil indicated that the need for animal sacrifice and blood atonement had finally come to an end through the perfect, forever-atoning sacrifice of Christ!

This leads to my theory that the “abomination that makes desolate” of Daniel’s prophecy was placed inside the Temple when the temple priests replaced the torn “wing" or veil with a new one. But by doing so, these wicked priests officially ignored and repudiated God’s clear message to them. This message was that mankind now had a clear way to gain a relationship with God through Christ’s atoning sacrifice alone!

If the Jews had been made to realize what the torn veil truly signified, they would have recognized that God had done away with any future need for a special priesthood, or a temple, and all the temple priests would have lost their cushy positions of wealth and authority in the Jewish Community! It is therefore likely that, in defiance of God, the Jewish Priesthood replaced the veil in the Temple and ignored a powerful sign from God that their priesthood ceased to exist when they killed their Messiah! These Jewish priests were therefore acting in the satanic spirit of the Antichrist.

Now, in the past, that seventieth “week” marking the completion of 490 years ended three and half years later, in 34 AD. This is the proposed year of the stoning of the disciple Stephen, and the first year that Saint Paul served as an Apostle. But the story doesn't end there, and this is likely why most Prophecy Teachers teach that there will be a second fulfillment of Daniel’s Seventieth Week after the Antichrist takes control, and it will not end until the seven-year Tribulation period ends. They infer this despite the fact that Daniel 9:25 emphatically states “from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks.” This means that sixty-nine “weeks” will pass before the Messiah comes in the seventieth week.

Long before anyone else was teaching this, I believed that the “sevens” in Daniel’s prophecy have a dual meaning and may also apply to years instead of weeks of years. I also believe that these years can be viewed as being measured from Pentecost to Pentecost, which is also called Shavuot or the Feast of Weeks, and which generally falls in the month of June (or around the middle of the year) on the Gregorian Calendar. In the Bible, the numbers seven, forty, fifty and seventy all allegorically imply completion, or a period of time that completes or fulfills an important part of Yahweh’s Will. Therefore, if one “seven” means one year in Daniel’s prophecy, then the sixty-two “weeks” or “sevens” would become sixty-two years, and the seven “weeks” would become seven years. Daniel’s prophecy could therefore be referring to a period of 70 years, as well as 490.

Due to the previous prophetic dates already disclosed in this information from my book  that is being updated here (i.e. 2010 AD, 2017 AD, 2018 AD, and 2020 AD), this interpretation of Daniel’s “sevens” has startling implications. In 1948, the modern nation of Israel was at peace after winning a war against her enemies. It was also finally recognized as a nation by the world, and Jerusalem could again be rebuilt. 1948 is therefore the future time when “the command to restore and build Jerusalem” was issued! Just as in ancient times, Jerusalem has been rebuilt “in troublesome times” (Daniel 9:25). With the threat of Terrorism affecting the whole world, and especially Israel, it should be painfully obvious to all that Daniel’s “troublesome times” (or time of trouble) has already arrived, but will not fully erupt into complete chaos until the Tribulation period begins (Daniel 12:1).

As soon as it became apparent that the “sevens” in Daniel’s prophecy could also be years counted from Pentecost to Pentecost, I added 62 to 1948. The date thus derived is truly astounding! When applied as years, the 62 years in Daniel’s Seventy Weeks of years yields the date of 2010 AD (1948 + 62 = 2010)! This is the same exact year that the Great Pyramid gives as a possible beginning date for a period of Tribulation that will culminate in the Rapture. Let’s further explore the ramifications of this startling revelation. Due to the nature of the Rapture, it is a time when the Messiah will be figuratively cut off in spirit, and “the prince who is to come,” or the Antichrist will appear on the scene per Daniel 9:26, as quoted above.

The application of Daniel’s prophecy to the past tells us that the true Messiah Yahshua’s Ministry was 3-1/2 years long, and would end when He was “cut off,” or removed from the world scene in 31 AD. In 31 AD, three and a half years after He began His ministry, Yahshua was crucified, died, and rose again. Furthermore, on the day that He rose, Yahshua also ascended to Heaven for a short visit with His Father before returning to the Earth that evening and appearing to His Apostles. In the past, “the prince who is to come” appeared in 70 AD in the form of the Emperor of Imperial Rome, who sent his legions to destroy Jerusalem. This was forty years after Yahshua ascended into Heaven. At that time, Rome's legions destroyed Jerusalem.

In the near future, another cutting off or removal of God’s chosen representatives from the world scene may occur with the First Rapture of the saints in the 70th year after Israel became a nation again. This year was 2017. However, if the ten days mentioned in the book of Revelation Chapter 2 verse 10 in connection with the martyrs in the Church of Smyrna is actually a ten year period, then my original calculation looking for a seven year period of tribulation tied to 2017 or 2018 can be extended to 2020. I recently wrote a new article that explains why I think this is a reasonable assumption. Please read it if you have time because it presents some fascinating information about the heavenly signs between 2017 and 2020. Here is the title and link to it:

Heavenly And Earthly Signs Possibly Marking 10 
Years Of Tribulation From The July 11th, 2010 
Solar Eclipse To The 2020 Summer Solstice Eclipse

If this is indeed what God was trying to convey by all these Heavenly Signs that I have been monitoring and deciphering for 20 years, the Great Tribulation will begin. Then, near to the end of the three and half years of the Great Tribulation, I believe that a Second Rapture may take place when the Two Witnesses are resurrected from the dead. Interestingly, the Sign of the Woman Clothed with the Sun occurred in September 2017 , and though the Rapture did not occur then like so many had hoped, I believe that it was a definite sign that we are nearing the end of the Age of Grace, and that the Great Tribulation is about to begin. Another interesting fact his that the arrival of the Two Witnesses are mentioned in the chapter before that, and they are either not here yet, or have been misidentified if the Book of Revelation is in some sort of chronological order.

Now, in (Revelation 11:11 , it says that the Two Witnesses will preach for three and a half years (i.e. 1260 days) and then they will be killed. But then they will be miraculously raised from the dead after three and a half days just as Yahshua was. Others believe that a Second Rapture will happen at the end of the Tribulation. But that is when I believe that a Second Rapture event will occur, in conjunction with the raising up of the Two Witnesses. If true, this will be the second stage of the First Resurrection, with the third stage occurring with the resurrection of the Tribulation Martyrs after the Battle of Armageddon occurs (See Rev. Ch. 20).

Most believers familiar with Bible Prophecy think that the Rapture will occur first, then the Antichrist will stand in a literal Temple in Jerusalem and declare himself to be God, after which he will seize control of the world, persecute and behead all Christians, and then attack Jerusalem. But, for the many reasons that I have already stated in regard to Daniel’s Seventieth Week, I don't believe this is the correct sequence of events at all. At the Rapture, the Holy Spirit will be temporarily removed from the Earth, along with all of God’s born-again children. In Daniel’s prophecy, this cutting off happened after the sixty-two weeks had passed. Counted from 1948, this 62nd week coincides with 2010 AD.

Now, if Daniel's Prophecy is reversed in relation to modern times and the the principles of the reversal of history are applied (see the article about this reversal linked to at the end of this article), then seven years should be added to the 62 years to equal 69 years, and to arrive at the beginning of the 70th year. If seven more “sevens” or years are added to 2010 AD, we arrive at 2017 AD, and 2017 may be the last year of the Seal Judgments and the prelude to the beginning of the Great Tribulation in 2018.

As I have shown in my last article about the Living Creatures in Revelation, a seven-year period in which five of the Seal Judgments have been released appears to have begun in late 2010 or early 2011. In conjunction with the Blood Moon Triads that frame the years 2011 and 2018, and the Blood Moon Tetrad that marked the years 2014 and 2015 as significant, it appears that the years 2010 through 2018 that correspond with Hallel Psalms 110 through 118 were targeted by Daniel's Prophecy of the Seventy Weeks as extremely significant. The graphic that I created below shows these correlations along with references to related Scriptures:

Now, looking at the Heavenly Signs in relation to my old hypothesis, we see that the years 2011 and 2018 are clearly being signaled out in the Heavens with a Blood Moon Triad of three Full Lunar Eclipses or Blood Moons occurring toward the beginning, middle and end of those years, with a rare Central Lunar Eclipse in the middle of both years. A Central Lunar Eclipse is rare because it can only occur when the Earth's Shadow is directly centered over the Moon, and this particular Blood Moon will be fully visible from Jerusalem, Israel as well as Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia from Midnight until about 1:30 am. This is interesting because the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins suggests the idea that the Rapture may occur at midnight in Matthew 25:6, where it says: “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ ”

A Rapture at night is also suggested in the following verse:
Luke 17:33-36, Complete Jewish Bible Translation ~ “Whoever aims at preserving his own life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will stay alive. 34 I tell you, on that night there will be two people in one bed — one will be taken and the other left behind. 35 There will be two women grinding grain together — one will be taken and the other left behind.”
This Central Lunar Eclipse occurred on July 28th 2018, which was the day after Tu B'Av or the 15th of Av. A week and 2 months after Pentecost on May 20th, 2018, this Blood Moon was visible in Jerusalem in the Sign of Capricorn the Goat-Fish on the day immediately after the celebration of Tu B'Av on July 27th. Significantly, Tu B'Av is a minor holiday on the Jewish Calendar that is the equivalent of Valentine's Day, and a favorite time in Israel for weddings and engagements to occur. Also significant is that fact that a Blood Moon is considered to be an evil omen. This Blood Moon is especially ominous because it will appear in conjunction with the red planet Mars, which signifies the New Blood Covenant of Christ with all mankind, as well as the war, strife and/or bloodshed arising from broken covenants. The spiritual Star Gospel meaning of this Central Lunar Eclipse is shown below:

Full Central Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon) Day After Tu B'Av, July 28th, 2018

It strikes me as highly ironic if the Rapture were to occur on the minor Feast of Tu B'Av in August of 2020 or some other year since it is a special day favored for weddings, and the Rapture signifies the arrival of the Wedding of the Lamb in Heaven. Furthermore, this Central Lunar Eclipse falls in the Goat half of the Sign of Capricorn, which signifies unrepentant people as unruly goats, as well as the Nephilim that died in the Great Flood of Noah, while the fish half signifies the mercy that God showed Noah and his family. Finally, the Blood Moon in conjunction with Mars suggests the onslaught of a war in which there will be much bloodshed due to the breaking of a covenant. Also interesting to note is the way that the Sudden Destruction coming upon the wicked seeking peace is spoken of in the Bible. The wording of 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 makes it sound as though it will occur right after the Rapture:
1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 ~ “For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.”
As I mentioned earlier, the Day of the Lord is very likely meant to be a reference to the Last Great Day, or the Millennial Rule of Christ. At the beginning of this last Great Age before the New Heaven and New Earth are created, God will control the direction of history instead of mankind. Furthermore, this Day will also very likely begin with the Rapture of the Church to attend the Wedding of the Lamb. In the middle of this seven year period being marked out by the Hallel Psalm connection to 2010 through 2018, there was also a Blood Moon Tetrad, with each Blood Moon falling on either the Feast of Passover or Sukkot (i.e. Tabernacles) in both years. Do you see the incredible nature of all of this divine disclosure? Starting in 2011 - sixty-two years after Israel was re-born as a nation - it appears that God marked out a definite period of Judgment and Tribulation that is ten years long, and in which the first Five Seals of the Seven Seal Judgments may have already begun to unfold. Furthermore, this ten years will end in June of 2020.

According to the principle that each one of Daniel's Seventy Weeks equals one year counted from Pentecost to Pentecost, and if the last half of that Seventieth Week which hasn't been fulfilled yet began on Pentecost in 2017, then the Pentecost in 2020 will mark the beginning of the year that could be meant to mark the last half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week. Now, if the Two Witnesses are already here and preaching without anyone recognizing them for who they really are, and we add three and a half years to the middle of 2017, it targets the end of 2020. But the Two witnesses are murdered and then raised before the worst stage of God's Wrath is poured out! So if the Two Witnesses are already here, and they will die and be raised up sometime in 2020, then the Rapture associated with the end of their ministry will have to occur BEFORE the end of 2020! Or it could be that the Two Witnesses are already here, but they are not going to begin their ministry until after the Rapture, and there will be a second Rapture event when they are raised after another three and a half years have passed. Either way, the summer of 2020 could be the targeted season of the Rapture!

So here we have a prophecy written thousands of years ago by a captive prophet named Daniel that verifies the beginning and end dates that may mark the Tribulation period before the Great Tribulation, as well as the beginning of the seventieth “week” or year in 2018! Also, although no one except God the Father knows the exact day or hour of the Rapture or Catching Away spoken of in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, sometime around the Solar Eclipse on June 21st, 2020 in the Sign of Gemini that will occur directly over Orion's upraised sword would be a more than appropriate time considering the interesting Heavenly Sign that will appear on that night. To read about what this Solar Eclipse may mean, read my article BY CLICKING THE LINK HERE, or by title and link for it further down in this article.

Of course, among other dates, the Rapture could also occur in conjunction with Pentecost, or 10 days prior to Pentecost or Shavuot, which is when Yahshua ascended to Heaven, and when the angels that appeared to the apostles afterward said He would return “in like manner” (Acts 1:9-11). Furthermore, if 2020 is the time of our deliverance in the Rapture, my understanding of Daniel Chapter 9 leads me to believe that the time of our deliverance  will be followed by the worst part of the Great Tribulation, making late 2020 the timing for the Battle of Armageddon. This is when Christ will return with His resurrected saints, and slaughter ALL the wicked that found such pleasure in abusing and killing God's beloved children.

The First Blood Moon of the Triad Marking 2018 as prophetically significant was on January 31st, 2018, and all three of those Blood Moons marked prophetically important events leading up to the Rapture and Sudden Destruction. As I've already shared, I wrote articles on this blog about the meaning behind the 2018 Blood Moon Triad and many other Signs in the Heavens since then that may lead up to the Rapture. The links to these articles can be found a bit earlier in this article. As you look through all this fascinating information, always try to keep in mind that, though we really can't pinpoint exactly when Yahshua will come for us, it sure is fun and interesting to try and figure it out. I guess I enjoy it because I love puzzles, and I love Yahshua. So I can't help myself! :-D

Remember, dear readers, that the “tribulation of those days” will occur before the Catching Away of the Bride that is also known as the Rapture, and then a far more terrible period of tribulation that we call the Great Tribulation will occur. The results of this Rapture event in Matthew Chapter 24 are described in Revelation Chapter 7. This is the chapter where the 144,000 are chosen, and a great multitude is seen in Heaven praising God. These are the saints taken out of the Great Tribulation at its beginning. For further verification, it is clear that the Heavenly Signs mentioned in relation to the catching away in Matthew Chapter 24 tie in very well with the Heavenly Signs that will appear at the opening of the Sixth Seal in Revelation Chapter 6:
Matthew 24:29-31 ~ “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
Revelation 6:12-13 ~ “I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.”
Looking back on what has been discussed here, the prophetic information hidden in Daniel’s Seventieth Week Prophecy can be summarized in two equations:
457 BC - (7 X 7) - (62 X 7) + 1 = 27 AD, when Yahshua began His Ministry as the Messiah at the beginning of a prophetic “week” of years. 
1948 AD + 62 + 7 = 2017 AD as the 69th “week” or year, making 2018 the 70th year, when Yahshua may come for His Bride and the Great Tribulation will begin.
There it is - in plain prophetic English! 2018 AD falls exactly seventy years after 1948 AD, the year when modern Israel was finally recognized as a nation on the world scene! Adding seven “sevens” or years to sixty-two, we have sixty-nine years altogether to add to 1948, and 1948 + 69 = 2017 AD! This clearly suggests that a seven to ten year Tribulation period began in 2011 AD, and since 2017 has already come and gone, this period will continue for ten years to the middle of 2020 with the Rapture ending that time of persecution for the saints who are worthy. Sometime after this, the three and half years that will fulfill the last half of Daniel's Seventieth Week may then arrive, and Yahshua will come for His Bride while the Great Tribulation rages on the Earth for three and a half years.

Another amazing fact about these two applications of Daniel’s prophecy is that the sixty-two “weeks” and seven “weeks” must be calculated in the opposite way that they were first applied for the equations to work. This suggests the reversal of history implied by the application of biblical history to the Chanukiah Menorah, as shown in this book (i.e. “The Language of God in Prophecy”)! So, in the past, seven “weeks” came first, and then “sixty-two “weeks.” In the future, however, sixty-two “weeks” will come first, and then the seven “weeks” or years of Tribulation with the Opening of the Seal Judgments. If written a simpler way, the equations to calculate the First and Second Coming of the Messiah in the Rapture are:

Past: 1 “seven” = 7 years, so  (7 + 62) = 69 X 7 = 483 years.
Future: 1 “seven” = 1 year, so (62 + 7) = 69 X 1 = 69 years.

So, applying the principle of the reversal of history that I introduced earlier, 69 years have to pass BEFORE the coming of the messiah in the 70th year. Since 2017 is the 69th year, I believe that the last half of the Seventieth Week will either happen after the ten years of Christian persecution that may have begun with the 2010 Arab Spring, or shortly after it ends in 2020. If so, then the correct year for the Messiah's rescue of His Bride might be in 2020. For more confirmation, let's look in the corresponding Psalm 118 for this year 2018 to see what it says concerning the coming of the Messiah:

~*~ Psalm 118:22-26 ~*~
“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
23 This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, I pray, O Lord;
O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

The first thing that jumps out is the reference to Yahshua as the Chief Cornerstone in verse 22 of Psalm 118. The second thing that jumps out at me is the reference to the Day the Lord has made. I believe that this is referring to Yahshua's 1,000-year Great Day, or His Millennial Rule. The third and most telling thing that jumps out at me in found in verse 26 of Psalm 118. This very verse was quoted by Yahshua as He lamented over the dire fate of Jerusalem that He foreknew and proclaimed in Matthew Chapter 23:
Matthew 23:37-39 ~ “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ” 
For a better understanding of what God means when He refers to wings in reference to Himself, please read the following article:

ABIDING UNDER THE SHADOW
OF GOD'S WINGS OR TALLIT!

This study I did about what the Bible allegorically means when speaking about wings in reference to God is also applicable to Daniel's reference to wings that serve as an abomination. This abomination refers to the temple veil that was divinely torn in two, but then was replaced by the rebellious priests. This knowledge about the connection of wings to veils makes Daniel's Seventy Weeks Prophecy far more understandable, so be sure to read it if you have not already done so.

Now, remember that when Yahshua came into Jerusalem riding on a donkey and donkey's foal just before His crucifixion, the people who gathered to welcome His arrival also quoted Psalm 118 verse 26, and this event happened before Yahshua lamented over Jerusalem in Matthew Chapter 21:
Matthew 21:6-9 ~ “So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. 8 And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: 
‘Hosanna to the Son of David!
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!’ ”
So, if the prophetic connection between the Psalms and the years are correct, then Psalm 118 is clearly telling us that we are very close to Yahshua's return - when the world will see our blessed Bridegroom returning in the clouds to retrieve His Bride and her Wise Virgin attendants. According to the Jewish Civil Calendar, the year 5778 that was tied to 2018 began on the Feast of Trumpets, which was on September 21st, 2017, right before the Sign of the Woman Clothed With the Sun appeared in heaven on September 23rd of that year. If I'm right about the fact that we are at the end of a ten year period of tribulation before the Great Tribulation ensues, the Rapture could be anytime between now and the end of 2020, or the Jewish Year 5781. Whether or not this will be the case, only time will tell. But with the Hallel Psalms, the Signs in the Heavens, and the Great Pyramid as the second, third and fourth witnesses that this is true, it is possible that we will see the Second Coming of Christ in the Rapture by the end of 2018.

Although some of what I've written here may contradict the teachings of some of the mainstream Bible Prophecy teachers, I firmly believe that their interpretation of Tribulation events are skewed because they are ignoring three prophetic witnesses. These are (1) the witness in the Heavens, (2) the witness of the Hallel Psalms, and (3) the witness in the Pillar of Enoch or Great Pyramid.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:  Originally added on 2 August 2019, 
and updated on February 16, 2020: 
The Blood Moon Triad framing 2018 wasn't complete until January in 2019, and there was a really significant set of signs in 2019 that culminated with a Sackcloth Sun or Solar Eclipse in the Sign of Sagittarius on December 26th, 2019, in the middle of Chanukah that have all kinds of Messianic Return and Rapture overtones. I did a preliminary exploration of these signs in the following article:

WHAT THE HEAVENLY SIGNS FROM JULY 2010
THROUGH DECEMBER 2019 REVEAL 
ABOUT THE TIMING OF THE RAPTURE

However, since then, I have discovered another striking Annular Solar Eclipse will occur over the Sign of Orion on June 21st, 2020, which is the Summer Solstice, and I've written a new article explaining my theory regarding this sign and its ties to the possible ten year tribulation period that may have begun at the end of 2010. Please be sure to read this article after finishing this one to explore this exciting theory! The title and link to it were added to this article earlier on, but here it is again so you won't miss its importance:

MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 2020
Heavenly And Earthly Signs Possibly Marking 10 
Years Of Tribulation From The July 11th, 2010 
Solar Eclipse To The 2020 Summer Solstice Eclipse

(End of Author's Note)

This is what God has shown me about the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week, and this is why I say it has already been fulfilled, making the Great Tribulation only three and a half years long - just as it says in Daniel and the Book of Revelation at least seven times (For 42 months, see Rev. 11:213:5; for 1,260 days, see Rev. 11:312:6; for a time, times and half a time, see Daniel 7:2512:7Rev. 12:14).

This view of Daniel's Seventy Weeks Prophecy basically invalidates all the opinions of the Prophecy Teachers that are trying to say this is a future prophecy about the Antichrist, who will sit in a literal rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem and declare that he is God in modern times. These teachers say that the Antichrist will put an end to sacrifice and offering after reigning as ruler of the world for the first half of a seven-year Tribulation period. But again, as I have explained, this prophecy was not about the Antichrist but about Christ at His First Coming, and it was already fulfilled by Christ. So if it does happen in modern times, I am of the opinion it will be staged to make people think a certain world government leader is the Antichrist when he is not.

However, the prophecy in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 about the man of sin confuses people to think it may have a literal second fulfillment via the Antichrist.  They believe that the man of sin who exalts himself above every god and says that he is God in the temple of God is the Antichrist, and that this prophecy will be fulfilled in the near future:
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 ~ Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin [or lawlessness] is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
I believe the confusion comes about when we do not identify the fact that the man of sin or man of lawlessness may not be referring to one person, but to any man or woman who is disobeying God's commandments, and is sinfully declaring that he or she is god through positive affirmations that are not biblical promises, but the selfish desires of one's heart. So the man of sin is not necessarily THE Antichrist, but refers to many antichrists. In other words, the temple in this passage is the temple of our bodies, where we can commune with God within our hearts if the Holy Spirit reigns there:
1 Corinthians 3:16-17Do 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.
But if God is not reigning inside of our hearts and minds through our radical transformation as born-again believers in Yahshua, then the Devil and his demons reign there, and control our ungodly thoughts and actions that are not in keeping with God's will, but our own. This is why Paul also said:
1 Corinthians 6:18-20Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
What believers need to remember here is that God is not against pleasure or enjoyment in this life so long as we do not seek it in the wrong places. We need to uphold God's Moral Law, and we can only do that when we are born again. Indeed, we are to: Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you (Matthew 6:33).
PLEASE NOTE: I did not say that the Great Tribulation has taken place or that the the Antichrist has been revealed. I merely have shown that certain passages of Scripture have been misinterpreted to be about the Antichrist to fit someone's prefabricated and ungodly agenda, and not the Will of God. I have also shown that Daniel's Seventy Weeks Prophecy targets the year 2018 as the possible time of our deliverance. But whenever the Rapture is, it will be followed by 3-1/2 years of Great Tribulation, possibly making 2021 or 2022 the End Game called the Battle of Armageddon. For this reason, my theories are definitely food for thought. 
Yahshua is Coming Again Very Soon!
Are You WATCHING For The Rapture?

Twin Hurricanes Deliver A Message About Israel From Zechariah



The Twin Hurricanes Iselle and Julio have ravaged Hawaii with deadly surfs and high winds, and they began to develop around the 9th of Av day of mourning for the Jews, which fell on August 5th, 2014. Hurricane Iselle passed near to the Pacific island chain on August 7th, producing high winds and much rain, and Julio passed close to the Big Island of Hawaii in the Hawaiian Island chain late on Saturday, August 9th, doing more of the same.

But even before then, Hurricane Julio’s clouds were producing “Dark Lightning”, a form of light from Gamma Radiation that is produced within dark storm clouds, but is the brightest known form of terrestrial light known. Here are some articles about the twin storms and the Gamma Ray Lightning:

Pacific Storm Julio Unleashes Powerful 'Dark Lightning' Flash

Tropical Storm Iselle makes landfall on Hawaii

Upon reading the articles above about the twin storms and this lightning phenomenon, I was led to read Zechariah Chapter 9, which I quoted in my book “The Language of God in Prophecy” because it concerns Ephraim, which signifies AMERICA and the Gentile House of Israel - and Judah, which signifies the Nation of Israel and the Jewish House of Israel. In Zechariah 9, the USA and Israel or Ephraim and Judah are depicted fighting together on God’s side to win a great battle against their enemies in the End Times around the time of Yahshua’s return “to cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem”.

In my book “The Language of God in History”, the Big Island of Hawaii is indicated as a symbol for many End Time events through the imagery hidden in the Sun Calendar Stone that was found buried in the plaza of the city known as Tenochtitlan (or T-ENOCH-titlan!) in Mexico that indicates December 21st, 2012 as the date when this sin-filled world would begin to be judged and destroyed - just as it has been.

Since Hawaii is also a part of the United States, which as a nation is filled with many members of the Tribes or Houses of Judah and Ephraim, it appears to be hiding a prophetic message directed to America and Israel.  Could it mean that Yahweh God intends to protect both the USA (or the greatest Christian bastion in the world) and Israel (or the greatest Jewish bastion in the world) from destruction and annihilation in the near future? Here is a portion of Zechariah Chapter 9 with its stirring words of God’s assured protection:

~*~ Zechariah 9:9-16 ~*~
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the horse from Jerusalem;
The battle bow shall be cut off.
He shall speak peace to the nations;
His dominion shall be ‘from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth.’
God Will Save His People
11 “As for you also,
Because of the blood of your covenant,
I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.
12 Return to the stronghold,
You prisoners of hope.
Even today I declare
That I will restore double to you.
13 For I have bent Judah 
(Nation of Israel; the Jews), My bow,
Fitted the bow with Ephraim (The USA; Christians),
And raised up your sons, O Zion,
Against your sons, O Greece,
And made you like the sword of a mighty man.”
14 Then the Lord will be seen over them,
And His arrow will go forth like LIGHTNING.
The Lord God will blow the trumpet,
And go with whirlwinds from the south.
15 The Lord of hosts will defend them;
They shall devour and subdue with slingstones.
They shall drink and roar as if with wine;
They shall be filled with blood like basins,
Like the corners of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will save them in that day,
As the flock of His people.
For they shall be like the jewels of a crown,
Lifted like a banner over His land...”

Due to the reference to both Houses of Israel indicated symbolically by Hawaii, and the unusual lightning being seen in Hurricane Julio, these twin storms passing over Hawaii may signify the fury of Yahshua - Who is “The Light of the World” - against the enemies of Judah or the Jews, and the enemies of Ephraim or devout Christians that is indicated by the twin storms. Perhaps this is an indication that Yahweh God intends to help His people Israel in both Houses as they fight to hold onto their everlasting rewards and spiritual heritage - despite those who hate them -  in the very near future. This twin set of hurricanes may also signify the coming Sudden Destruction that will follow the Catching Away or Rapture, as mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 5, verse 3:
“For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.”
The time of this Sudden Destruction may be when Yahshua will transform His born-again saints in two waves, which will unleash storms of destruction from earthquakes and upheavals as the DNA of the dead is retrieved from the physical world and much energy is released in the transformation - first to raise the dead in Christ, and second to raise the living in Christ anxiously awaiting His return. This double wave of Rapture resurrections is explained in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17:
“For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”
Interestingly, the 15th of Av or Tu B’Av is on August 11th this year, and it is tied to the Rapture in theme due to its connection to love and weddings. As such, these twin hurricanes affecting Hawaii between August 7th and 9th - days falling between Tisha B’Av on August 5th and Tu B’Av on August 11th, 2014 - may be another powerful sign of Yahshua’s soon return!

Fascinatingly, a Super Moon is coinciding with Tu B'Av, this year. This Jewish Festival of Love will be celebrated from the evening of August 10th to dusk on August 11th in Israel. In addition, the Perseid Meteor Shower peaks tonight, And the constellation Perseus the Breaker is a symbol of Yahshua breaking through the Devil's schemes to save His people!

Could this be a herald of the Wedding of the Lamb, and the First Rapture? Or could tonight be the night of our Blessed Hope? We shall see! :-) In the meantime, check out the gorgeous Moon views right now and through the 12th! God bless, and Maranatha!

PASSOVER WEEK HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT BY GRAFTED IN GENTILE BELIEVERS!

Click On Image To Enlarge
The Hebraic Roots Attack on Christianity has been ongoing, and it gets particularly deceitful and vicious around Easter or Resurrection Sunday - the holiest day on the Christian Calendar - every year! In addition, these attacks always center on tearing down the Christian expression of faith in Yahshua rather than seeing the similarities, parallels and SUPERIORITY of the celebrations of Gentile Believers in comparison to the Jewish Feasts.

The reason I know this is because I am a Messianic with a full understanding of all the Jewish Feasts, and I have done my homework and have listened to the Holy Spirit, who has convicted me of the truth of my teaching here after much prayer and Scriptural study. What I have been shown is that so-called believing "Gentiles" or Non Jews (i.e. Grafted In Israelite Believers) are as much a part of Israel as practicing Jews, but are not subject to keeping every aspect of the Jewish Traditions that surround Sacrificial Laws and religious rituals anymore. This is because Yahshua is their Perfect sacrifice for sin, and no further sacrifices are needed. In addition, Yahshua came to "proclaim liberty to the captives", which allegorically meant that He not only freed them from the burden of the Sacrificial Law, but gave His followers permission to worship and praise Him in any way, and on any day that they choose while still keeping the Moral Law. 

Furthermore, I have been shown that the week between Palm Sunday and Pesach/Resurrection Sunday is the Christian expression of Passover Week, with Yahshua's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem celebrated on Palm Sunday, at the start of Holy Week (See Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:28-44 and John 12:12-19). Likewise, the end of that week falls on the day that the Firstfruits Offering was made in the Temple, on the First Day of the Week or the day after the Regular Sabbath during Passover Week, or the Feast of Unleavened Bread. This was the Day of the Firstfruits Offering in the Temple, which I believe was a Sunday. As it says in Leviticus:
~ * ~ Leviticus 23:10-12 ~ * ~“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest. 11 He shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath (i.e. after the Regular Sabbath during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, or the FIRST day of the week, which is Sunday) the priest shall wave it. 12 And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to the Lord.”
In honoring Leviticus as prescribed on the Day of Firstfruits, Yahshua was the grain offering and the slain Lamb that was presented before His Father in God's Heavenly Temple on that very day. This is why Yahshua is called the Firstfruits of the Resurrection in Scripture. He rose up and ascended to His Father in relative secrecy on the same day that the Firstfruits Offering of the new Barley Harvest was made in the Temple. This is made clear by the following Scriptural facts:

When Mary Magdalene (aka Mary or Miriam of Bethany) saw Yahshua in the Garden after His Resurrection, she did not see Him as glorified, but as the Gardener (John 20:15). So His Glory was hidden from her, and He may have looked far younger than the special older man she had known before His death. On addition, He was not appearing to her in Glorified form. but as a man. In His newly resurrected form, Yahshua ascend to Heaven to be presented before His Father in Heaven as the Firstfruits of the Resurrection. Meanwhile, the firstfruits grain offering was likely being prepared to be offered up to Yahweh in the Temple, before the Most Holy Place:
~ * ~ 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 ~ * ~“But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.”
As further proof of this, I offer you the following:

Yahshua went to see His disciples in the closed room near to evening on the same day of His Resurrection, but there is proof that this was after He had quietly ascended to Heaven as the Firstfruits and then returned. The clue that tells us this is found in the fact that, when He appeared to the disciples in the closed room, Yahshua told them to note that He had flesh and bones, and so He was not just an apparition (Parallel Luke 24:36-39 with John 20:19-20).

The apostles and disciples couldn't have known that Yahshua was not a ghost unless they had touched Him, and He wanted no one to touch Him until He ascended to Heaven. This is evident because He told Mary not to touch or cling to Him (as in an affectionate embrace) in the Garden where His Tomb was located:
~*~ John 20:17 ~*~ “Jesus (Yahshua) said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’” 
This significant passage of Scripture is frequently overlooked, but it truly should not be because it tells us that Yahshua ascended to Heaven twice, not just once before Pentecost or Shavuot! It therefore suggests the idea of not just one, but two Raptures. I will cover more on this a bit later.

Besides Yahshua's immediate post-resurrection ascension to Heaven and swift return that evening, of particular note here is Mary's presence during the moments immediately after Yahshua rose from the dead. I believe that the reason for this is because the Gospel of John presents Mary Magdalene as a picture of the True Church or Bride of Christ in this Garden scene, just as Yahshua's overlooked, practically secret ascension and return to the Earth on the day of the Firstfruits Offering is a picture of the Rapture. It's amazing how clear it all is when God opens our eyes, eh? In direct relation to this, it is interesting to note that Easter ofr Resurrection Sunday, (which most European and Asian Christians call PASCHA, PESACH (or Passover!) usually always falls on the very same day that the Firstfruits Offering was once made in the Temple to Yahweh in Jerusalem every year during Passover Week.

So Yahshua actually ascended to Heaven twice - once in relative secrecy just after His Resurrection on the day of Firstfruits and the official start date for the counting of the Omer, and once in the presence of all His disciples 40 days after His Resurrection, or 10 days before Pentecost or Shavuot (Acts 1:3, Acts 1:9-11). So this is a picture of Yahshua's Two Comings. He will come once in the Rapture at a time when few suspect it, which will be at a time of relative peace - like the quiet before a severe storm. Then He will RETURN at a time of complete chaos and widespread wickedness and lawlessness at the Battle of Armageddon. At the time of this THIRD COMING of Yahshua, He will come in full view of all, and without ambiguity or the failure of those watching to recognize His clear intent to conquer and subdue the wicked, and rescue the beleaguered redeemed among the Gentiles and the Jews still living on the Earth at that time (Revelation, Chapter 19).

In addition, most Grafted In Israelites that are incorrectly called "Gentile" believers practice Communion, a remembrance of Yahshua's Last Supper meal on Passover Eve, which is solemnly and frequently commemorated in all Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant Churches. Furthermore, the Apostle Paul taught that Grafted In Believers die with Christ through Baptism, and are symbolically crucifying their fleshly, worldly desire with Christ when they are baptized, and Yahshua died for our sins as God's perfect Passover Lamb. They therefore keep the Passover in Spirit throughout the year instead of just on the Jewish Passover.

This proves that all the Hebraic Roots teachings slamming Christianity and the celebration of Easter or PASCHA (i.e. Passover) are being done deceitfully and erroneously through a faulty interpretation of Scripture. Please prayerfully consider this teaching, and study yourself approved by God through the study of His Word and the proper application of it rather than the erroneous view of it taken by the Judaizers in your midst.

This is a warning to all Grafted In Gentile Believers to NOT listen to the Hebraic Roots proponents attacking your faith, which is not being done out of love, but contempt! It is clear from their constant and vicious assaults on traditional Christianity that they will not be satisfied until all so called "Gentile" Believers (but actually Israelites by Faith that have been grafted into the natural Olive Tree, which the Apostle Paul spoke of) become complacent little Jews in ritual worship, as well as in the practical exercising of their faith. 
 
Thus, rather than sharing their joy in knowing and loving Yahshua, they are aiming to completely destroy the freedom and liberty that Grafted In Believers have always enjoyed under God’s Grace given through Christ. Be forewarned, and do not let the Judaizers destroy your joy in your traditional and holy celebrations.

May these teachings bless you as we await the Rapture!

THE BRIDE OF CHRIST WILL ESCAPE THE COMING HOUR OF TRIAL!

Onto This Depiction of the Rapture, I Wrote:
We are: “looking for the blessed hope
and glorious appearing of our great
God and Savior Yahshua” (Titus 2:13):

Click on Image to Enlarge
All born again believers that are following Yahshua's commandments to love our Heavenly Father Yahweh God with their whole hearts, and to love their fellow brethren in Christ with their whole hearts also are considered to be members of the Church of Philadelphia or Brotherly Love. Furthermore, The Church of Philadelphia is identified with the Bride of Christ due to its association with the New Jerusalem in Revelation 3:12, where it says:
“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 (See Rev. 21:2). And I will write on him My new name.”
Fascinatingly, in 1 Peter 2:1-10, the Apostle Peter taught that we are like the living stones making up the Temple of God, where the Holy Spirit dwells:
“Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by 
no means be put to shame.”
7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,
“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”

                                                     8 and

“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”
They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed. 9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.”
Adding to this analogy, the Apostle John wrote that those saints who overcome the world through Christ will be given stones with their new name written on them in Revelation 2:17:
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.”
Taking this understanding that all born again believers are like the stones of a building that houses the Spirit of God, it makes sense that they should be seen as the very stones that make up the New Jerusalem, which is identified as the Bride of Christ in Revelation 21:9-10:
“‘Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.’ 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.”
It is therefore those who are divinely considered to be a part of the Church of Philadelphia that are the true Bride of Christ that will dwell in the New Jerusalem, and Yahshua considers them special because  “you have kept My word, and have not denied My name” (Rev. 3:8). These are believers that refuse to stop saying Yahshua’s Name in public prayer, and who refuse to stop calling sin what it is despite heavy public pressure to do both. Because of this, Yahshua promises them a special deliverance in Revelation 3:10:
“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.”
This HOUR OF TRIAL that Yahshua promises to deliver His precious Bride from can’t be anything other than the Great Tribulation, which will certainly “come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth”!

Now, since the Bride, who will be the sanctified believers dwelling within the New Jerusalem, comes down out of Heaven to be placed on the New Earth after the Last Judgment (See Rev. 21:2), it makes sense that she will be taken up to Heaven along with the Five Wise Virgins who attend to her needs in the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins in Matthew 25:1-12:
“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’” 
This Parable clearly tells us that the Five Wise Virgins will be taken by the Bridegroom Yahshua to the Wedding Feast at His Fathers heavenly house because He knows them, and they were expecting Him. This means that they have a personal relationship with the Son of God through His Holy Spirit, and they literally hear His voice and experience dreams and visions that come directly from Him through the Spirit. As it says in Joel 2:28-29:

“And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions.
29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.”

Meanwhile, the Five Foolish Virgins who aren’t expecting a Rapture and aren’t doing God’s Will on Earth but are too busy focusing on the pleasurable things of the world, or who are focused on survival rather than God and are making constant disaster preparations, such as buying guns and storing ammo, and stockpiling food and water and outdoor survival gear, will be left behind to suffer through the Great Tribulation because Yahshua doesn’t know them, and they were NOT expecting Him. It is these people whom Yahshua does NOT know who are left behind to cry out to God in Revelation 6:15-17, where they say:
“And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’”
So, whether we live through the Great Tribulation or not all depends on our focus right now. Your focus will tell Yahweh God which group of Virgins or saints that you belong to. If you’re focused on Yahshua and doing His Father’s Will, you will surely go to be with Him in the Rapture. But if you’re focused on trying to save your behind and potentially killing people to stay safe when the world is judged and goes to perdition, you’ll get your wish, and you will become one of the Tribulation Saints faced with severe persecution and potential martyrdom at the hands of the Antichrist.

There are additional proofs that the Bride of Christ and the Wise Virgins are going to be caught up to the Third Heaven for a short time before returning to the Earth with Yahshua at the Battle of Armageddon. These are the three New Testament Scriptures that proclaim that - although all believers will face tribulation and persecution on the Earth prior to the Rapture, born again believers are not meant to suffer through God's Wrath, which will begin when the Sixth Seal is opened. Here are those proof texts from God's Word:
Romans 5:8-10 ~ “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” 
1 Thessalonians 1:8-10 ~ “For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything. 9 For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.” 
1 Thessalonians 5:8-10 ~ “But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.”
There is no doubt from these Scriptures that Yahshua loves His Bride made up of all born again believers very much, and that He does not want her to suffer through the Great Tribulation - when God's Wrath will be poured out on the whole world. Since God's Wrath will affect the entire planet, no one left behind on the Earth will escape it unless they received some unexpected divine protection in some way, either through the warrior angels of God, or from the 144,000 Witnesses, whom I firmly believe will be warriors as well as preachers!

In closing, I want to stress that I do not think that God is against believers who have home gardens, a couple of months worth of food and water stored up, first aid kits, camping gear, or emergency travel packs. We all should be prepared for disasters since they can occur anywhere, and at any time. What God is against is allowing survival to overwhelm your ability to function as a witness proclaiming the coming Kingdom of God, for which this world is passing away.

Believers are supposed to be proclaiming the world’s need to depend on Christ and His help and protection rather than on the strength of their own arms. We need to focus on our love for Yahshua and His Kingdom, and our desire to be His Bride and the Wise Virgins, and this is only possible if we truly know, love and trust in Him.

As an important follow-up to this article, I highly recommend reading the following article that shows that Yahshua our Messiah also taught the Rapture:

YAHSHUA TAUGHT THE RAPTURE!

The Rapture is REAL. 
The choice is yours, whether to be WISE or FOOLISH. 
Which will it be?

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL NOTE:

I have gotten attacked on Facebook over my defense of my belief in a Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church dozens of times over the past year. Obviously, the devil is using the spirit of anger and the ignorance of the Word of God in the Church to try and destroy my work because it terrifies him. Well, too bad, Satan, because I’m not stopping until my Messiah Yahshua calls me home! Amen and Hallelu-Yah!

These attacks come because so many who are misinformed think that I am trying to dumb down the masses so that they will be sitting ducks when the world goes to perdition. They are angry at me for criticizing die-hard Doomsday Preppers who live with their entire focus on survival and living off the grid. But they fail to discern the love behind my criticism, which is meant to be a gentle rebuke aimed at getting them to wake up to their ignorance regarding what Yahweh God truly wants and expects from us as believers in Yahshua.

Though I have great respect for people who are living off of the land without a need for modern conveniences, I think that those who are relying on this to save them are in for a very rude wake up call when the Rapture happens and they are left behind, because the environmental destruction of the Earth that will occur during the Great Tribulation will make pure water and air more scarce than fine gold, and home gardening and living off the land will become impossible. Due to this, these die-hard survivalists will eventually starve to death or die from thirst unless they repent and realize that the Kingdom of God is not of this world, and they turn to Christ for help.

Before these people who were in rebellion against God can receive His help and forgiveness, they will need to finally accept God’s Will that this present world is passing away so that men’s evil works can be destroyed. After this, Yahshua will renew part of this current Earth to its Edenic state of perfection during His Millennial Kingdom.

This is why Yahshua made it clear that He wants us to fully rely on Him to fight for us in every battle that we must face, and not to rely on our own strength, which will surely fail without His presence and protection. Yahshua wants us to have the right attitude about our place in His Kingdom, and His promise that those who truly love Him will not have to suffer through the Great Tribulation.

Yours in Yahshua,
Helena Lehman
