The Scriptures warn us Jesus-Yeshua, the promised Messiah, will return . . . TWICE!
First, "as a thief in the night" . . . for those who waited in faith
Second, "every eye shall see" . . . with those who waited in faith
THE COMING "RAPTURE"... It might help to understand why God feels it will be important to remove this remnant (or 'body') of believers from the Earth in such a decisive and startling way. We find the Rapture is somewhat analogous to a loving Bridegroom yanking His young wife ('betrothed') off the railroad tracks just as the train goes thundering by. Prophet after prophet in the Bible warns us of a very specific period of time referred to by many names, including the "The Day of the Lord's Wrath," "The Time of Israel's (Jacob's) Trouble," "the Great Tribulation," and the "Apocalypse" (which actually refers to the 'Revelation'), when God is going to "pour out" His wrath on a "morally corrupt" and "violent" generation who has turned its back against Him and His Word in arrogance and unbelief. We are also told all those who sincerely believe in Jesus-Yeshua, the promised Messiah, and humbly wait for Him in faith, are not "appointed" to this coming 'Apocalypse' which will one day engulf the whole world . . .
"And to wait for His Son from Heaven,
whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus (Yeshua),
who delivers us FROM the wrath to come."
(1 Thessalonians 1:10)
"For God did NOT appoint us (believing Christians) to wrath,
but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ (Messiah),
who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep,
we should live together with Him (in Heaven).
Therefore comfort each other and edify one another,
just as you also are doing."
(1 Thessalonians 5:9-11)
The actual word "rapture" is not found in most Bibles. The original Greek word "harpazo" which was translated "caught up" in many English translations could have been, or should have been translated, "to seize, to pluck away, or to take by force." The original Greek word "harpazo" was later translated in the Latin as "raeptius" or in some cases "rapturo". So, the term "rapture" comes from the Latin translation. There are two precedents in the Bible ... Enoch (the 7th from Adam in the book of Genesis) and the prophet Elijah were both taken ('raptured') before they died . .

THE BIBLE warns of a coming attack against Israel when a "confederacy" of nations surrounding Israel will one day take "crafty counsel" before launching a surprise attack against Israel ...
"Do not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
and do not be still, O God!
For BEHOLD,
Your enemies make a tumult; (God considers these Islamic nations as "enemies"...)
And those who hate You have lifted up their head.
They have taken crafty counsel against Your people (Israel),
And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
They have said,
'COME, and let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of ISRAEL
may be remembered no more.'"
For they have consulted together with one consent;
They form a confederacy against You (God):
The tents of Edom (Jordan)
and the Ishmaelites (Arabs),
Moab (Jordan ... Jordan today = Edom + Moab + Ammon)
and the Hagrites; (an Arab people around Jordan ... an off-shoot of the Ishmaelites ... do an Internet search)
Philistia (Gaza ... Palestine)
with the inhabitants of Tyre; (Lebanon ... or southern Lebanon)
Assyria (Iraq ... or northern Iraq)
also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot (Jordan ... the children of Lot were Moab and Ammon)
Who said, "Let us take for ourselves
The pastures of God for a possession."
O my God,
make them like the whirling dust,
Like the chaff before the wind!
As the fire burns the woods,
And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
So pursue them with Your tempest,
And frighten them with Your storm.
Fill their faces with shame,
That they may seek YOUR Name, O LORD. (And NOT "Allah"... Prophecies of MESSIAH ... from the ancient Scriptures)
Let them be confounded and dismayed forever;
Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
That they may know that YOU,
whose Name alone is the LORD,
The Most High over ALL the Earth."
(Psalm 83: 1-8,12-18) (Written 1500 years before Mohammed chose the pagan Arabian moon god as his god ... ("Allah")
The nations listed in this coming attack against Israel are mainly the Sunni Islamic nations who now surround Israel. If this prophetic confederacy and surprise attack was not fulfilled during the 1948, 1956, 1967, or 1973 wars against Israel, then it appears this attack might take place sometime BEFORE the coming Ezekiel 38-39 (Russia-Iran-Turkey and Allies) war against Israel ... because none of the enemies listed in Ezekiel 38 (Russia - Iran - Turkey - etc.) are listed in this prophecy ... and Syria (Damascus or Aram) is conspicuously missing from this list of enemy nations.

ut, it is heart-wrenching to see it happening ... it is like watching the water receding from the beach just before a great and terrible tidal wave strikes. Remember ... Armageddon is in Israel. Also remember ... through the return of Messiah (Jesus Christ in English ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) ... a small remnant of Israel who come to believe Jesus (Yeshua) is the promised Messiah WINS ... and will rule over all the nations in peace.

THE COMING "RAPTURE"... Many feel the generation which is alive today is the generation of the Rapture, and a worldwide body of faithful believers will be removed suddenly before the person or the identity of the coming Antichrist (a 'counterfeit' messiah) will be, or even can be, revealed. And since many feel this man (the coming Antichrist) is probably alive today, it is worth the time to look at some of the verses found in the Bible which directly, or indirectly refer to this strange, forceful, prophetic event which we simply call 'the Rapture' ...
"Behold, I tell you a mystery:
We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye"
(1 Corinthians 15:51-52)
"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.
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."
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)

THE COMING "RAPTURE"...
"But of that day and hour no one knows,
no, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only."
(Matthew 24:36)
"Then two men will be in the field:
one will be taken and the other left.
Two women will be grinding at the mill:
one will be taken and the other left."
"Watch therefore, for you do not know

(Matthew 24:40-42)
"Therefore you also be ready,
for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."
(Luke 12:40)
"But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren,
you have no need that I should write to you.
For you yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night."

--Fox News (Prophecies: "In The Last Days"... "Evil men (and women) will wax worse and worse"... Lying ..."Deceiving and being deceived") Telling the truth is fundamental to God’s Law. In the Bible we find when a nation, its leaders, and its people defiantly mock, ignore, and turn their backs on GOD'S Law, God will turn His back on that nation and will remove His protection and blessings from that people. God help us. The future of that nation and people is always very, very grim ...
God's warning to ALL Mankind . . .
"But the cowardly, (Those who are afraid of what "others" might think if they believe and confess Jesus IS Lord.)
unbelieving, (Do not believe that to trust and love Jesus for what He did for us on the Cross is only way to Heaven)
abominable, (God warns abortion, homosexuality, and those who "approve of" these things are "abominations")
murderers, (Jesus warns even those who "hate" others in their heart are guilty of murder)
sexually immoral, (In what we do ... in what we say ... and in what we watch)
sorcerers, ("pharmakeus"... drugs)
idolaters, (loving anything more than God ... sports, money, music, work, tv, internet, celebrities, boasting, pleasure)
and all liars

Virginia Attorney General Warns Supreme Court Ruling Is A "Dark Day For American Liberty"...
--Drudge/NBC News (Prophecies: The US will be NEUTRALIZED ... THEN ... RUSSIA, IRAN, and ALLIES will invade Israel) Many have placed their faith in this nation ... and not in God ... to provide them with freedom, justice, and blessings. Yet, the people and churches of this nation have stood silent and have "fallen away" from God's Word while lifting up leaders who shake their fist at God and mock God's Word. We are ignoring the Judgment that has already begun to fall upon this nation for turning from the living God who has blessed us.
In the Bible we find there is a time when a nation and people sink to the point where there is "no remedy" for its wickedness and for its rebellion and hardened heart against God and God's Word. In the course of the past week or so we have seen "Homosexuals Invited To Party In The White House To Celebrate Gay Pride," and "Police Chaplains Told Not To Use 'Jesus' In Prayers," and our Supreme Court vote to sweep away the protection and balance of "States Rights," and now voting to approve a law which paves the way for a Stalinist (Godless) death-grip of power over this nation and all its people ...
"But they mocked the messengers of God,
despised His (God's) Words,
and scoffed at His prophets,
UNTIL the Wrath of the LORD arose
against His people,
until there was no remedy"
( 2 Chronicles 36:16)
"Therefore calamity shall come upon him suddenly,
Suddenly he shall be broken
without remedy."
Proverbs 6:15)
"He who is often rebuked,
and hardens (stiffens) his neck, (in rebellion against God's Word)
Will suddenly be destroyed,
and that without remedy."
(Proverbs 29:1)
"When the righteous are in authority,
the people rejoice; (For God will bless that nation ...)
But when a wicked man rules,
the people groan." (For God will judge that nation ...)
(Proverbs 29:2)
Believing Christians must wake up and realize we have to place our faith in God and not in this Nation (or ANY nation) or its leaders to provide the freedom and justice we have grown accustomed to ... and especially not to place our faith in a nation who is now lead by evil and Godless men and women who do not know God and do not fear God ... for God's Hand of Judgment has already started to fall heavily upon this nation ... judgment is coming upon this nation and leaders (and people) who now deny the blessings GOD has bestowed upon us while turning its back on God while arrogantly ignoring and rebelling against His Laws, Rules, and Statutes ... the faith of all is now being tested.
Citizens of America, Israel, and ALL nations of the World should quickly turn back to God ("repent") and draw close to God and His Word (God's Son (see Psalm 2) ... Messiah ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew ... Jesus Christ in English) in "love and in faith" as the "Restrainer" will someday soon be taken away ... and then the World will feel the full force of God's fury.

The Bible warns Sodom and Gomorrah were given as a warning and "EXAMPLE" for coming generations ...
"As Sodom and Gomorrah,
and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, ( 5 cities were destroyed including Sodom and Gomorrah)
having given themselves over to sexual immorality
and gone after strange flesh, (homosexuality)
are set forth as an example,
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."
(Jude 1:7) (WARNING SIGNS of the Apocalypse: We will know when we are close)
"And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes,
condemned them (Sodom and Gomorrah) to destruction,
making them an example
to those who afterward would live ungodly ..."
(2 Peter 2:6) (The ASSURANCE of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!) (Prophecies: The coming "RAPTURE"... don't be "left behind")
In Ezekiel (written a thousand years after Sodom and Gomorrah were judged and destroyed) God explains why ... (and remember, to God "a thousand years is as one day"... Psalm 90:4 ... 2 Peter 3:8). God warns open homosexuality is a visual symptom of a people (or nation, or world) who are filled with "arrogance" and sinful "pride" ("Nobody ... not even God ... is going to tell me what to do!") ...
"This was the sin (iniquity) of your sister Sodom:
She (Sodom) and her daughter (Gomorrah) had pride, ("God is not going to tell me what to do!")
fullness of food,
and abundance of idleness; (sounds a lot like our generation)
neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy,
and they were arrogant (haughty) ... ("I don't care what God says in the Bible!"... "I'll do what feels right to me!")
Therefore, I (God) took them away as I saw fit." (He destroyed ('cleansed') them with fire ...)
(Ezekiel 16:49)
In these verses, God links open homosexuality in a society to sinful "pride" and "arrogance"... the sin of Satan. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed ('cleansed' with fire) because they were filled with pride and arrogance while flaunting their sexual immorality and their homosexuality openly before God. They mocked God and they had no fear of God. They were also found guilty of having "fullness of food" without acknowledging God who provided it, and having "an abundance of idleness" in the land (basically they ate, drank, watched TV, and allowed their "Gay Pride" parades) ... the people had become so de-sensitized to sin they even stood by as their homosexuals tried to 'gang-rape' the two men/angels God sent to warn Lot ... while their worthless 'reverends', priests, rabbis, and ministers (just like Satan in the Garden) were seductively assuring the people in the pews that God's Word and God's Law did NOT really mean what it said and did NOT really apply to them and they could continue to do whatever felt good or right "in their own eyes," even when in direct disobedience to God's Word and God's Law ...
All of this reflected their lack of belief and their arrogant and rebellious attitudes toward God and His Word. Sin meant nothing to them ... and there was no fear of God. Would these charges convict any people or nation(s) you know today? God's judgment against Sodom was was given as a warning! The Bible warns the coming "Apocalypse" will be like the judgment against Sodom (only much worse), and this time it will be global!
Our time is short. God is pleading with us to stop (repent of) our sinful ways and return to Him before it's too late. With open arms and with tears of joy He will welcome any and all who willingly return to Him through the One He sent forth to save us from our sins (and from Hell) ... Jesus (Yeshua) ... the promised Messiah. And, as with Lot (and as with Enoch before the Flood when God 'cleansed' the Earth with water), God promises to remove ('Rapture') all those who will sincerely return to Him in faith before the coming "Apocalypse," which the Bible also calls "the Great Tribulation," "the Time of Jacob's (Israel's) Trouble," "the Day of the Lord," the "Time of the End," and the "Day of (God's) Wrath" ... (Prophecies: The coming "Rapture"... Jew and Gentile ... don't be "left behind")

Note: Many people today do not know whether or not they (or their loved ones) will go to Heaven. Many have not been adequately (or honestly) taught what the Bible actually says and teaches ...
"For God so loved the world
that He GAVE His only begotten Son, ("In this the love of God was manifested toward us..."
that whoever BELIEVES (trusts) in Him (to trust in Jesus alone to save us from our sins and from Hell)
should NOT perish (in Hell)
but have everlasting life (in Heaven).
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him might be saved (into Heaven).
He who believes in Him is not condemned (to Hell);
but he who does NOT believe (in Jesus Christ ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew)
IS condemned (to Hell) ALREADY" (No second chances for any who reject or ignore what God did for us on the Cross)
(John 3:16-18) (Jesus greatly LOVED us to save us from Hell ... all God asks is we love Him for all He has done for us.)
"IF you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus
AND believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved." (And welcomed with tears of joy into Heaven ... our "rest"... filled with beauty and excitement.)
(Romans 10:9) (God's Promise ...) (The assurance of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!)
Please remember . . .
The Kingdom of Heaven is available to every man, woman, boy, and girl in this world. It is freely offered to any and all who will receive it. Simply learn of Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew), invite Him into your life as Lord, believe He died on the Cross for all of your sins and rose from the grave (proving there is life in Heaven). Learn of Him and believe in Him ... for He was the only one who has ever loved you enough to substitute Himself for you on the Cross (which represents Hell). He shed His blood, suffered, and died on the Cross as the "Passover Lamb of God" to save you from the utter torment and darkness of Hell ... if you will accept it.
That is why Jesus (Yeshua) is called "Savior." He now lovingly and graciously offers you life in His Kingdom of Heaven ... and it is a "take it or leave it" proposition. If you sincerely admit you have sinned (which means you will need a Savior) and sincerely believe Jesus lovingly paid (and cancelled) the debt for all of your sins on the Cross, and honestly try to stop doing those things God says are wrong, you will go to Heaven ... It's God's Promise!!!
The only unpardonable sin is to reject God's love and His free offer of life in Heaven by rejecting God's Son, Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who stepped forth from Heaven ... not to condemn the sinner, but to save the sinner (from Hell) and who willingly and lovingly shed His blood on the Cross so we can be washed clean of all of our sins. The Bible warns there will be no peace in our hearts until we make peace with God through His Son, the Messiah, Lord Jesus Christ . . .
"Therefore being justified by FAITH, ("justified" means 'just as if all our sins had never happened')
we have peace with God (this verse comforts like a soft pillow for a weary head ...)
through our Lord Jesus Christ"
(Romans 5:1)
And with open arms and with tears of joy He will welcome any and all into the Kingdom of Heaven who willingly come to Him through the One He sent forth to save us sinners ... Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) ...'LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS"... our Savior!!!
For the ASSURANCE of Life in Heaven (and of having ALL of your sin and guilt completely removed) . . . A.C.T. NOW!!!
- Acknowledge you are a sinner ... and have sinned against God's Law
- Confess your sins to God
- Trust (believe) completely in Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) ...
- He (lovingly and willingly) died for all of your sins on the Cross ... and His innocent blood washes away ALL our sins
- He was buried ...
- He was raised (Resurrected) from the dead the third day ... and now waits to see if you are "with" Him or "against" Him
- Turn back to God ... and turn away from sinful activities ("repent") ... He will welcome you with tears of joy.
When you believe and trust in (and love) Jesus Christ as your "Savior" (who lovingly saves you from your sins and from Hell) ... and then turn away from your sinful ways and turn back to God ("repent"), you can have the complete peace and assurance in your heart that when you die, you will enter into His Kingdom of Heaven ... forever and ever … it’s God’s Promise!!!
The ONLY thing God asks a NON-believer to do is to "believe"... Jesus (God) did ALL the work ... life in Heaven is offered as a GIFT!!!
Grace and Shalom
