The Rapture And Second Coming May Be In 2028
We believe that the 'taking up' of the believers (rapture) is right near the end of the Tribulation, not before it. And the Tribulation is 3 1/2 years, not 7.
Leviticus 23:23-25 King James Version
23 And Yahuwah spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. (7th month falls in the autumn, EXTRA SABBATH)
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahuwah.
It is a one- or two-day period, and the beginning of a ten-day period of repentance before Yahuwah, known as the Yamim Nora’im (Days of Awe), leading up to Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year when all are to make sure they are clean and pure before Him. The trumpet blasts are a wakening call to examine our lives and make sure we repented of our sins and asked forgiveness of any people we have sinned against. A greeting often used by the Jews on this day is “May your name be inscribed in the book of life.” (Notice that the ‘book of life’ is NOT just a New Testament thing. Interesting.)
Exodus 32:32-33 King James Version
32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
33 And Yahuwah said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Psalm 69:28 American Standard Version
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life (Or, the living),
And not be written with the righteous.
Yom Teruah is also called Rosh Hashanah, and the Jews believe it is the day that Yahuwah created the heavens and earth, the day Adam was created, the day that Samuel was born, and the day the first temple was dedicated! Rosh Hashanah means ‘head of the year’, but this would be a civic new year, not the real new year, which is in the springtime. This day is on the beginning of the seventh month on the Hebrew calendar, not the first month, which is in the springtime.
It is also the day He will take up His bride in the rapture, which will occur near the end of the Tribulation. There is a lot to this, and others have written about it better than I would, unless I repeated them word for word, so I’ll give you a webpage where you can learn more if you want to.
Here are some links with much valuable information. I think she does the best job at explaining these things in great detail, from Scripture:
If you go read the book “The Star of Bethlehem: The Star that Astonished the World” by Ernest L. Martin, Ph.D., it gives the details of exactly how we can know the exact day and hour of His birth. You can get this book for free online as a PDF document, or read it for free online, or order a hard-copy: Go to the link below to get it. It gives more than one ‘witness’ to confirm the time of our Messiah’s birth!
The woman in this constellation is Virgo (the virgin), the sun is by her torso like it clothes her, the moon is below her feet at 7:00 p.m. (that is how we know the time He was born), there are twelve stars around her head, the red dragon is actually a constellation that is positioned between her legs, and it actually looks like a red dragon, even though the verse represents SATAN attacking this woman’s offspring.
Revelation 12 King James Version
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
(Left - a NASA photograph of the Red Dragon constellation. Right – another illustration showing the red dragon in position to grab the baby at birth.)
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto Yahuwah, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of Yahuwah, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil, and satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our Yahuwah, and the power of his Messiah: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our Yahuwah day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Yahuwah, and have the testimony of Yahushuwa the Messiah.
Here is an excerpt from evidenceunseen.com that explains why the ‘woman’ in Revelation 12 is also referring to the nation of Israel. Note, where he refers to the Tribulation as being7 years, that is incorrect. I'm just showing this for the information about the 'woman' and 'Israel'.:
“First, in the OT, the imagery of the sun, moon, and stars refers to the nation of Israel. Joseph said, “I have had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me” (Gen. 37:9). Osborne writes, “In Jewish literature ‘twelve stars’ often refers to the twelve patriarchs or the twelve tribes.”
Second, the Bible frequently uses the imagery of a woman to refer to Israel, Zion, or Jerusalem. Paul writes, “The Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother” (Gal. 4:26). Jeremiah writes, “Surely, as a woman treacherously departs from her lover, so you have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel” (Jer. 3:20; c.f. Isa. 54:1-6; Ezek. 16:8-14; Hos. 2:19-20; Micah 4:9-10).
Third, in the OT, the image of being protected by eagle’s wings refers to Israel. In Exodus 19:4, we read, “You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself.” This seems to fit with the language in Revelation 12:14, where we read, “The two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished.”
Fourth, the Woman is protected in the wilderness for 1,260 days. This fits with the prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27, which is directed to Israel (“your people and your holy city”). This iteration of 3.5 years is mentioned five times through this section of Revelation (Rev. 11:2; 11:3; 12:6; 12:14; 13:5). Clearly, this time span of three and a half years must be important to the author. This seems to fit with half of the seven years, where the Antichrist will be in power (Dan. 9:26-27).
(My, Jen’s, note here – Daniel 9:26-27 is a misunderstood section of Scripture, because it applies to more than one time in history. Part of it describes the Roman Siege in 70 A.D, and so many believe that is the end of this prophecy. But it has a double meaning and refers to future end-time events as well.
"There are several distinct trumpet blasts to be made during the Feast of Trumpets.
"Additionally, it was customary in ancient times for the groom not to reveal the day he was planning to elope with his bride, because there would be impostors that wanted to kidnap the bride before the wedding day. To make sure that the bride would not be stolen by an impostor, the bridegroom would reply to the nosy people who asked “When is the wedding day?” His reply would be “No man knows the day nor the hour, only my father knows.” Therefore, this phrase has become a Hebrew Idiom associated with the Feast of Trumpets, and the secret day of elopement."
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 King James Version
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For Yahuwah hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Messiah Yahushuwa,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
Matthew 25:6-7 King James Version
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
1 Corinthians 15:51-54 King James Version
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, AT THE LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (the dead in Messiah will be raised at this time, not all the dead)
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Trumpets are blown throughout the day on this feast day, so at the last trumpet sound it will happen.
The word ‘tribulation’ in Matthew 24:21 above, in Strong’s Concordance, is #2347 ‘thlipsis’ and means affliction, trouble, anguish, persecution, burdened, pressing together, pressure. It comes from #2346 ‘thlibo’ meaning ‘a tight and narrow place, suffer, tribulation, trouble, anguish, tight like a birth canal’. It is not Yahuwah’s wrath as some believe. His wrath comes during the latter part of it, and strongly when the 7 bowl judgments or 'vials' are poured out, at the near end of it, especially between Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) and Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), during the Ten Days of Awe, the ten-day period of repentance before Yahuwah. And although this ten-day period is specifically a time when Yahuwah's people are supposed to examine themselves and repent of any sins they realize they have, the Bible says the people having His wrath poured out over them will REFUSE to repent still!
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
Below is when Yahushuwa began His ministry:
The verse above is about when He was tempted in the wilderness for 40 days, right before he turned 30, and when He returned and began teaching in the synagogue on Yom Kippur. He had just turned 30 on Yom Teruah, ten days before He began His ministry on Yom Kippur.
Genesis 6:3 King James Version
“(UN Resolution No. 181) purposing the fig tree nation, Israel, to be restored as a nation again. Resolution 181 confirmed the 1922 recognition by the international community that the Jewish people deserve their own state, a Jewish state, in their historical homeland. On May 14, 1948, in Tel Aviv, Jewish Agency Chairman David Ben-Gurion proclaims the State of Israel, establishing the first Jewish state in 2,000 years.”
So, in 2028, 80 years after 1948, our Messiah Yahushuwa will return, and that is when we will ‘fly away’ in the post-trib rapture. That verse is just a little icing on the cake.
There is another witness to the year 2028 as well. In 2014, two cows were born with the number 7 on their foreheads. THEY WERE BORN FIVE DAYS APART in different states. The first one was born in Loretta, Pennsylvania on September 20th, on Saturday, the Sabbath (and it was the final Sabbath before the Jewish civic new year. The second one was born in Gatesville, Texas. on September 25th, on the Feast of Trumpets. Both were born on significant days, holy days of Yahuwah. And if you add the two 7s you get 14 – in 14 years from that year is the year 2028.
Leviticus 25:9-10 New International Version
9 Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land.
10 Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan.
There is speculation, based on Jubilee years and prophecy, that this will happen in the year 2028. I believe this. During the Jubilee of 2028, Yahushuwa will return and put an end to the Tribulation, and the earth will revert back to its original owner, which is Yahushuwa. All slaves were set free, and all sales of land were returned to the original owner in the 50th year. It is 2023 presently. We have only a little over five more years (from June 2023 until the fall feasts in 2028)! I’ll leave that right there. I’m not prophesying. I’m looking at the evidence and making an educated opinion. Watch for it.
Now I’m going to take this a bit further. We believe that Donald Trump is going to become president again in 2024. They'll swear him in, in January of 2025. We have believed this for over a year, and it’s interesting that he just announced in November of 2022 that he will run again. There is much evidence that he is the Little Horn in the book of Daniel. See this blog:
The Scriptures tell us that those who refuse to accept the mark of the beast, and worship the beast, will be beheaded. We believe the mark of the beast will be injected into people's hands or foreheads by means of a va********* such as the present jab people have been getting or another soon to come one as another plague arrives, which I've heard is already on its' way here from China, and there is already a jab being prepared for it. I am hoping it's the latter.
Revelation 13:16-18 King James Version
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 14:9-11 King James Version
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Yahuwah, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelation 20:4 King James Version
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahushuwa, and for the word of Yahuwah, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Messiah a thousand years.
I’m going to give you a scenario and we can watch and see if it happens. He becomes president again, is sworn in in January 2025, the temple in Jerusalem is rebuilt by this time, and to celebrate, during the week of Passover in the spring of 2025, he stands in the temple and either has a pig roast, or declares himself as Messiah or God, and the Pope is part of this, they together make up the anti-Messiah and false prophet team – and the 3 ½ year Tribulation begins on that day, perhaps Passover or Feast of Firstfruits in 2025, because that is 6 months before Yom Kippur, when Yahushuwa our Messiah's second coming should take place in 2028, making the Tribulation’s 3 ½ years.
In the past, Antiochus stood in the temple and committed the abomination of desolation by setting up a statue of the Greek god Zeus and sacrificing a pig in the temple. He is considered an anti-christ and an example, type and shadow, of what may happen concerning the future anti-christ. This was the time-period when the Hanukkah story took place, when Antiochus took over the temple and the Maccabees fought against him and his people and won.
Another possible confirmation for the timing of the Tribulation and Messiah’s return is the Red Heifers that have been brought to Israel for the purification of the priests of the Third Temple that will be re-built and in place when the anti-Messiah takes over. If this works out as anticipated, this is very significant prophetically.
The Jewish leaders have been looking for a red heifer for many years and finally have found and brought to Israel FIVE of them that so far are un-blemished and may qualify for the purification ceremony that needs to precede the re-building of the temple. Now Christians understand that when our Messiah rose from the dead, He stopped the need for the temple sacrifices as He is now our High Priest, and we present ourselves as living sacrifices holy and acceptable to Him, and our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, but the Jewish people do not believe He is their Messiah yet, and they WILL re-build the temple in these last days.
<<<Stinson told CBN News they plan to invite everyone to the red heifer ceremony that may take place during Passover, 2024.
“Everything is in place now with the red heifers. As long as they stay pure, one of them stays pure. Then we have everything in place, including the priest” he explained.
Rabbi Mamo recalled the writings of the Jewish sage Maimonides, who counted nine red heifers from Moses to the time of the Second Temple.
“It’s not his way to write, but suddenly he said that the tenth (heifer) will make the (coming of) Messiah,” he said. “So maybe – not maybe, we know – that the Messiah will make the tenth. Maybe we have the privilege to be one of these people that help the Messiah to do it. That's it. So, we're waiting.”>>>
If this happens as they are planning, and the ceremony takes place on or near Passover in 2024, then they can start re-building the temple right afterwards. It could be completed in about six months so it looks very plausible that it would be finished before Passover 2025 and the scenario I mentioned would fit right in there – that Trump would have a celebration on Passover of 2025, of the temple being finished, and declare himself the Messiah, or put up a statue of himself or of a fake ‘Jesus’, or have a pig roast, or something similar which would be an abomination.
Description of this book on Amazon.com:
John 3:36 King James Version
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of Yahuwah abideth on him.
The first ‘believeth’ is #G4100 in Strong’s Concordance, from ‘pisteuo’ which means 'to think to be true, to be persuaded of, to credit, place confidence in of the thing believed, in a moral or religious reference, to trust in Jesus or God as able to aid either in obtaining or in doing something'….
And ‘believeth not’ is #G544 in Strong’s Concordance, from #G545 ‘apeitheo’, which means to disbelieve (wilfully and perversely):—not believe, disobedient, obey not, unbelieving.
John 3:36 New American Standard Bible
36 The one who believes in the Son has eternal life; but the one who does not OBEY the Son will not see life, but the wrath of Yahuwah remains on him.
The King James Version does not translate this verse correctly, but the version above does.
If you truly BELIEVE in the Son, you WILL OBEY the Son, or if you don’t obey Him, then you don’t truly believe in Him.
Matthew 25:1-13 King James Version
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Notice it says they have not denied His name? They have not denied Yahushuwa, they know and use His name. They have the Messiah as their Lord and Savior AND have kept His word (obeyed His commandments), and they will be 'kept' (attended to carefully, guarded, reserved, preserved) from the hour of temptation, which is referring to the Tribulation. It doesn't say they will be removed from it though. It doesn't say they will die in the tribulation either, although there are believers who will be beheaded for refusing to worship the beast and take his mark.
When we explain this to people and give them the link with the sources so they can find out for themselves that it's true, most of them STILL insist on calling Him Jesus. So when the Bible says that the church in Philadelphia "hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name," and they are the ones with the open door to be taken up with the Messiah, then that is why I do not believe those who refuse to change and start knowing and using His real name and who refuse to obey His commandments/law, will be taken in the rapture. The Bible says that those who refuse to keep the 7th day Sabbath will be cut off as Yahuwah's people and are worthy of death. So why would they expect to be raptured, an event that takes up Yahuwah's people, alive, to be with Him, or even protected during the tribulation??? The Bible says He will protect us when we call on His name. Do you think that after you are informed that 'Jesus' means 'Hail Zeus' that you can call on 'Hail Zeus' and expect protection?! We'll find out when the time comes.
Psalm 91:14 King James Version
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
That verse about the church in Philadelphia, applies to the five wise virgins who were qualified to make it into the marriage of the Lamb, as the bride of Yahushuwa, when He comes to take them up (rapture) – the door was open for them who obey His commandments (‘kept my word’) and knew the Messiah by His right name, but it shut for the foolish virgins and they had to go get oil for their lamps. A lady I know who is an excellent teacher on Biblical subjects made a very interesting statement that I want to share. She says this:
“We get a big clue in the following verse as to what the “oil” is in the lamps of these five wise virgins:
Song of Solomon 1:3 Because of the savour of your good ointments (shemen) your name (shem) is as ointment (shemen) poured forth, therefore do the virgins love you.
Did you see this, beloved? The five wise virgins have the “oil of his name!” The foolish virgins do not know his name!”
“Here is more evidence. The Congregation at Philadelphia is the only one out of seven assemblies that is given “an open door” to escape the last “ten days of tribulation” in Revelation 2:10. The Congregation at Smyrna had “good works” but there is no mention of them knowing his name. This is why Smyrna must “suffer tribulation for ten days!”
But Philadelphia has an open door that no man can shut, because they have not denied his name!” (by Maria Merola Wold)
See our page The 7th Day Sabbath for the whole story about keeping Yahuwah's holy Sabbath!
And What is Holiness and How Do We Be Ye Holy to learn why we need to keep His commandments/laws after getting born-again.
Hosea 4:6 King James Version
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of Yahuwah, I will also forget thy children.
When they respond so fervently negative, and flat out refuse to accept the instructions in the Bible over their habits and traditions, they are at that point in rebellion. It’s one thing to not know any better and be doing the best one knows how to do with what they’ve been taught and practiced for years, but it’s a whole other thing to know about the instructions and just flat out refuse and disobey them – to not even start studying them out to learn the truth. Yahuwah’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge BECAUSE they REJECT knowledge and this is referring to the law of Yahuwah.
Proverbs 12:1 New International Version
1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.
Here is some more information about the up-coming Jubilee year in 2028. It has a chart on it showing the year and day our Messiah was born, and going up yearly to the year and day He was crucified.
The information below is from the book I am writing. I copied this out of it for the topic of this blog. It starts out explaining about the Feast of Trumpets and then explains about the rapture and second coming of our Messiah, which will take place during these fall feasts.
YOM TERUAH OR FEAST OF TRUMPETS OR DAY OF SHOUTING, ALSO ROSH HASHANAH (Jewish civic new year)
I believe this is the most important feast day for our present time, because it is the day our Messiah will return for His bride. I’ll explain shortly.
I believe this is the most important feast day for our present time, because it is the day our Messiah will return for His bride. I’ll explain shortly.
Leviticus 23:23-25 King James Version
23 And Yahuwah spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. (7th month falls in the autumn, EXTRA SABBATH)
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahuwah.
It is a one- or two-day period, and the beginning of a ten-day period of repentance before Yahuwah, known as the Yamim Nora’im (Days of Awe), leading up to Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year when all are to make sure they are clean and pure before Him. The trumpet blasts are a wakening call to examine our lives and make sure we repented of our sins and asked forgiveness of any people we have sinned against. A greeting often used by the Jews on this day is “May your name be inscribed in the book of life.” (Notice that the ‘book of life’ is NOT just a New Testament thing. Interesting.)
Exodus 32:32-33 King James Version
32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
33 And Yahuwah said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Psalm 69:28 American Standard Version
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life (Or, the living),
And not be written with the righteous.
On Yom Teruah the trumpets are blown from morning to evening during this feast. There is a period immediately afterwards called the Ten Days of Awe in which the people are to continue examining themselves for any sin they need to repent of, and then this culminates on Yom Kippur, which I will explain shortly.
Yom Teruah is also called Rosh Hashanah, and the Jews believe it is the day that Yahuwah created the heavens and earth, the day Adam was created, the day that Samuel was born, and the day the first temple was dedicated! Rosh Hashanah means ‘head of the year’, but this would be a civic new year, not the real new year, which is in the springtime. This day is on the beginning of the seventh month on the Hebrew calendar, not the first month, which is in the springtime.
It is also the day He will take up His bride in the rapture, which will occur near the end of the Tribulation. There is a lot to this, and others have written about it better than I would, unless I repeated them word for word, so I’ll give you a webpage where you can learn more if you want to.
Here are some links with much valuable information. I think she does the best job at explaining these things in great detail, from Scripture:

It has to do with the Scripture that describes the woman clothed with the sun who is giving birth to a man-child. This is a constellation arrangement and it took place exactly like the Scripture says at only one time in history.
Illustration is from Ernest Martin's book
“The Star of Bethlehem: The Star that Astonished the World”
The woman in this constellation is Virgo (the virgin), the sun is by her torso like it clothes her, the moon is below her feet at 7:00 p.m. (that is how we know the time He was born), there are twelve stars around her head, the red dragon is actually a constellation that is positioned between her legs, and it actually looks like a red dragon, even though the verse represents SATAN attacking this woman’s offspring.
Revelation 12 King James Version
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto Yahuwah, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of Yahuwah, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil, and satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our Yahuwah, and the power of his Messiah: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our Yahuwah day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Yahuwah, and have the testimony of Yahushuwa the Messiah.
Here is an excerpt from evidenceunseen.com that explains why the ‘woman’ in Revelation 12 is also referring to the nation of Israel. Note, where he refers to the Tribulation as being7 years, that is incorrect. I'm just showing this for the information about the 'woman' and 'Israel'.:
“First, in the OT, the imagery of the sun, moon, and stars refers to the nation of Israel. Joseph said, “I have had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me” (Gen. 37:9). Osborne writes, “In Jewish literature ‘twelve stars’ often refers to the twelve patriarchs or the twelve tribes.”
Second, the Bible frequently uses the imagery of a woman to refer to Israel, Zion, or Jerusalem. Paul writes, “The Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother” (Gal. 4:26). Jeremiah writes, “Surely, as a woman treacherously departs from her lover, so you have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel” (Jer. 3:20; c.f. Isa. 54:1-6; Ezek. 16:8-14; Hos. 2:19-20; Micah 4:9-10).
Third, in the OT, the image of being protected by eagle’s wings refers to Israel. In Exodus 19:4, we read, “You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself.” This seems to fit with the language in Revelation 12:14, where we read, “The two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished.”
Fourth, the Woman is protected in the wilderness for 1,260 days. This fits with the prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27, which is directed to Israel (“your people and your holy city”). This iteration of 3.5 years is mentioned five times through this section of Revelation (Rev. 11:2; 11:3; 12:6; 12:14; 13:5). Clearly, this time span of three and a half years must be important to the author. This seems to fit with half of the seven years, where the Antichrist will be in power (Dan. 9:26-27).
(My, Jen’s, note here – Daniel 9:26-27 is a misunderstood section of Scripture, because it applies to more than one time in history. Part of it describes the Roman Siege in 70 A.D, and so many believe that is the end of this prophecy. But it has a double meaning and refers to future end-time events as well.
****
Notice that it says in Daniel 9:24 that the 70 weeks include making an end of sins, make reconciliation for iniquity, bring in everlasting righteousness, all things that have not happened yet. This is an end-time prophecy. Sin has not ended yet, everlasting righteousness has not taken place yet, as Messiah is not yet ruling the world and satan is still here causing people to sin. The vision and prophecy will be sealed up after all of that has happened.
****
Daniel 9:24 King James Version
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Please read these articles by Maria Merola Wold to get an understanding of this – this will help you to understand why the Tribulation is 3 ½ years and not 7 also:
Fifth, Daniel 12 predicted that Michael would rise up at this time to protect Israel—not the Church (Dan. 12:1). Daniel writes, “Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued” (Daniel 12:1). We see a fulfillment of this, when John writes, “There was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war” (Rev. 12:7).
Sixth, Jesus is said to rule the nations with a rod of iron. In Revelation 19:15, we read, “From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron.” Thus, the man-child of verse 5 must be Jesus—not the Church.” – end of excerpt by evidenceunseen.com
There’s a lot to the Revelation 12 Scripture, but part of the meaning has to do with Yahushuwa being born on the day that this constellation took place and satan trying to destroy Him. It reveals the date and time of His birth.
He was born on September 11 in 3 BC, near 7 p.m., but since our calendar is not exactly like the Hebrew calendar, it doesn’t always fall on September 11 for us in America. You can download a program for free which can show you what was going on during this year and month - it takes you back in time to show you when the stars aligned certain ways, when eclipses were, etc. It is the program that Ernest Martin used to help him determine the exact day and time of the birth of Yahushuwa, our Messiah.

"There are several distinct trumpet blasts to be made during the Feast of Trumpets.
Yom Teruah (Day of Trumpets 2018) Shofar Blast
"The Tekiah (a short blast) is calling the people to convocation. The Shevarim (three wails – three tekiah together) is a reminder of the cry from the widow and the orphan, which should move us to help. The Teruah (the staccato blast of several short blasts) is a call to war; reminding us of the conflict we are in and not be complacent. The Tekiah HaGadol (the long blast) is the blast of ‘the Lord’. This is the blast we expect to hear at the resurrection and warning of the Day of ‘the Lord’."– From “A Brief Explanation of Our Calendar and the Biblical Festivals” by az-static.llm.io/2022
In ancient Israel this was the day that the kings were crowned and began their reign. It was the day that Solomon was crowned, and Jehoash (1 Kings 1:34). A shofar was blown and its meaning was “The king is coming and will be crowned today, his government has started.” Then he was anointed with oil and crowned. So Yahushuwa being born on that day, and returning on that day for His bride, fits right in there!
Joel 2:1 King James Version
1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Yahuwah cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
It is also the day He will return for His bride (rapture). Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) is called ‘the day that no man knows’ because it starts on the day the first sliver of the new moon is sighted, and since sometimes the sliver of the moon is hidden by clouds, this feast is given 2 days in case no one was able to see the moon on the first day (it will then be counted on the second day.) That fits with ‘no one will know the day or hour’ when Yahushuwa will return (Matthew 24:36). It is, however, the ancient Jewish custom for the groom to arrive at midnight to get his bride and carry her off when people aren’t expecting him, so it won't be like a thief in the night to surprise those who are prepared. It will be like that for those who are NOT prepared. Here is a quote by a Bible teacher, Maria Merola Wold, which explains this further:

"Additionally, it was customary in ancient times for the groom not to reveal the day he was planning to elope with his bride, because there would be impostors that wanted to kidnap the bride before the wedding day. To make sure that the bride would not be stolen by an impostor, the bridegroom would reply to the nosy people who asked “When is the wedding day?” His reply would be “No man knows the day nor the hour, only my father knows.” Therefore, this phrase has become a Hebrew Idiom associated with the Feast of Trumpets, and the secret day of elopement."
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 King James Version
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For Yahuwah hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Messiah Yahushuwa,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
Matthew 25:6-7 King James Version
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
1 Corinthians 15:51-54 King James Version
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, AT THE LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (the dead in Messiah will be raised at this time, not all the dead)
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Trumpets are blown throughout the day on this feast day, so at the last trumpet sound it will happen.
Matthew 24:29-31 King James Version
29 Immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great SOUND OF A TRUMPET, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 King James Version
15 For this we say unto you by the word of Yahushuwa, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of Yahushuwa shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For Yahushuwa himself shall descend from heaven WITH A SHOUT, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Yahuwah: and the dead in Yahushuwa shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet Yahushuwa in the air: and so shall we ever be with Yahushuwa. (‘Caught up’ is #726 ‘harpazō’ in Strong’s Concordance and means ‘to seize, catch away, pluck, pull, take (by force); to claim for oneself eagerly’. When people call it the ‘rapture’ they are using the Latin form of the word, ‘rapturo’ which means the same thing.)
Notice how the verses above, which are talking about the rapture, say He will descend “WITH A SHOUT”, and “AT THE LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound”, and “AFTER THE TRIBULATION”. Here we have three different verses about the rapture that let us know it will be on the Feast of Trumpets which is also called The Day of Shouting, and is the day that the kings were crowned and began their reign, the announcing of a king, the new king of Israel and as I said before, is also called ‘the day that no man knows’. Wow!

Wow!
Let's talk for a minute about the Tribulation.
Matthew 24:14-22 King James Version
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
This section above shows how the Tribulation begins, explained more in this blog. I will later post a separate blog just on the Tribulation and the Mark of the Beast and put the link in here. Notice the part that says "stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)". Many Christians are insisting that the abomination of desolation happens in our bodies or spirits, since our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. They spiritualize this verse instead of take it as it is. They are not understanding! It plainly says that when we SEE the abomination of desolation STAND in the holy place - we cannot SEE what is going on inside of our bodies or spirits. We CAN see an anti-Messiah stand in the physical 3rd temple, which is SOON to be rebuilt, and fulfil this event. Let the reader understand this!
The word ‘tribulation’ in Matthew 24:21 above, in Strong’s Concordance, is #2347 ‘thlipsis’ and means affliction, trouble, anguish, persecution, burdened, pressing together, pressure. It comes from #2346 ‘thlibo’ meaning ‘a tight and narrow place, suffer, tribulation, trouble, anguish, tight like a birth canal’. It is not Yahuwah’s wrath as some believe. His wrath comes during the latter part of it, and strongly when the 7 bowl judgments or 'vials' are poured out, at the near end of it, especially between Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) and Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), during the Ten Days of Awe, the ten-day period of repentance before Yahuwah. And although this ten-day period is specifically a time when Yahuwah's people are supposed to examine themselves and repent of any sins they realize they have, the Bible says the people having His wrath poured out over them will REFUSE to repent still!
The rapture is not to rescue us out of the Tribulation. Believers have been suffering tribulation for many years, being tortured, be-headed, etc., for their faith, mostly in third-world countries. Why would we in America be treated special and whisked away from tribulation?
The Tribulation is a testing period to purify the bride. Then, the rapture brings the overcoming bride into the marriage chamber for the wedding. In the ancient Jewish wedding, the bride purifies herself for a long period of time before the wedding. The verse below is in a section about the Tribulation:
Daniel 12:10 King James Version
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
“Flavius Josephus was a first-century Romano-Jewish historian and military leader, best known for writing "The Jewish War", who was born in Jerusalem—then part of Roman Judea—to a father of priestly descent and a mother who claimed royal ancestry.” (Wikipedia) He was born in 37 A.D. Yahushuwa was born in September in 3 B.C. and began His ministry in 28 A.D., at 30 years old (taking into account that there is no 0 B.C.) He was crucified on Passover in the springtime in 32 A.D., at about 33 1/2 years old. Josephus was born 5 years after Yahushuwa was crucified. He wrote “The Jewish War” and “Antiquities of the Jews” and was a very trusted historian. “His works are the chief source next to the Bible for the history and antiquity of ancient Palestine, and provide a significant and independent extra-Biblical account of such figures as Pontius Pilate, Herod the Great, John the Baptist, James the Just, and possibly Jesus of Nazareth.” (Wikipedia). That was to give a bit of history on him. He is a trusted historical source.
So, in Josephus' book “Antiquities of the Jews” there are footnotes by William Whiston, an English theologian historian who translated the book into English in 1736, that say the year 23 B.C. was a Jubilee year (the 79th one since the creation). Somewhere along the line the Jews stopped keeping track of the Jubilee years, but Josephus let us know when they were. With that being so, then the next Jubilee year after that was 28 A.D. (when adding up the years you don’t count 0 B.C. or A.D. because there was no such thing) on Yom Kippur, which is called Day of Atonement, and that is the day Yahushuwa began His ministry, at 30 years old, when Luke 4:17-19 took place, on Yom Kippur in the 80th Jubilee. In the Jubilee year, all slaves were to be set free and all sales of land were returned to the original owner in the 50th year.

Leviticus 25:9-10 King James Version
9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
Below is when Yahushuwa began His ministry:
Luke 4:17-19 King James Version
17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, (This was Isaiah 61:1-2a.)
18 The Spirit of Yahuwah is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of Yahuwah.” (This is a Yom Kippur Jubilee year reading.)
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, is not this Joseph’s son?
23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
He did not read the rest of the passage, which says:
Isaiah 61:2b-3
17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, (This was Isaiah 61:1-2a.)
18 The Spirit of Yahuwah is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of Yahuwah.” (This is a Yom Kippur Jubilee year reading.)

He did not read the rest of the passage, which says:
Isaiah 61:2b-3
2b…and the day of vengeance of Yahuwah, to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Yahuwah, that he might be glorified…
The reason He stopped where He did is because the rest of the passage is about His second coming, which will be on Yom Kippur in the 120th Jubilee, in the future, whereas the first part is about Him at the time when He read it, which He proclaimed as a Jubilee on ‘that’ Yom Kippur, when He began His ministry, and was basically letting them know that He is their Messiah, and that ticked them off.
The next Jubilee year, according to the date in Josephus’s book, and also according to the date that Yahushuwa read the Yom Kippur Jubilee Scripture in 28 A.D. (we know it was 28 because we know He was 30 years old in 28 A.D, based on His birth date which is based on Revelation 12 and when that constellation happened (on Feast of Trumpets in 3 B.C.), and we know that He began His ministry at 30 years old, based on Luke 3:23), will begin on Yom Kippur in the fall of 2028, and will be the 120th Jubilee year (based on Josephus’s book showing that 23 B.C was the 79th Jubilee year), and that equals 6,000 years (a Jubilee is every 50 years and 50x120=6,000), meaning it’s time for Messiah to return and start the beginning of the 7,000th year Sabbatical time period, the Millennium, which lasts 1,000 years, with Him and the saints ruling, and peace on earth finally. He returns in the year of Jubilee, and it is in 2028.

(we know it was 28 because we know He was 30 years old in 28 A.D, based on His birth date which is based on Revelation 12 and when that constellation happened (on Feast of Trumpets in 3 B.C.), and we know that He began His ministry at 30 years old, based on Luke 3:23), will begin on Yom Kippur in the fall of 2028, and will be the 120th Jubilee year (based on Josephus’s book showing that 23 B.C was the 79th Jubilee year), and that equals 6,000 years (a Jubilee is every 50 years and 50x120=6,000), meaning it’s time for Messiah to return and start the beginning of the 7,000th year Sabbatical time period, the Millennium, which lasts 1,000 years, with Him and the saints ruling, and peace on earth finally. He returns in the year of Jubilee, and it is in 2028.
"Days of Elijah"
Realize that we also have confirmation of the year being 2028 because Israel became a nation again in 1948, and the fig tree nation verse indicates that the generation that witnessed that will also witness His return, based on Matthew 24:32-34, and a generation is 70 or 80 years, based on Psalm 90:10, and since it didn’t happen 70 years later, in 2018, plus 2018 was not the Jubilee year, it will happen 80 years later, in 2028. I’ll explain that below. All of this ‘speculating’ being done here is based on the Scriptures! All of the other times that the return of our Messiah was ‘predicted’, they did not have and understand all of this information and historical events. The next Jubilee year is 2078 and there is no way our Messiah is waiting that much longer to return. All the signs of the times are here NOW.
Luke 3:23 King James Version
23 And Yahushuwa himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
Luke 3:23 King James Version
23 And Yahushuwa himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
The verse above is about when He was tempted in the wilderness for 40 days, right before he turned 30, and when He returned and began teaching in the synagogue on Yom Kippur. He had just turned 30 on Yom Teruah, ten days before He began His ministry on Yom Kippur.
Genesis 6:3 King James Version
3 And Yahuwah said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Man’s days being 120 years is referring to the 6,000 years that man lives on earth doing things HIS way, and when that time period is over we have 1,000 years left in which Yahushuwa will rule with His saints, and do things HIS way. It is 120 Jubilees, which equals 6,000 years (120x50=6,000). He was giving us the timing for His return.
This next Scripture includes the Parable of the Fig Tree in Matthew 24:32-34. The fig tree is Israel. In Matthew below, verses 15-22 reveal to us when the Tribulation will begin.
Matthew 24:15-34 King James Version
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Messiah or there; believe it not
24 For there shall arise false Messiahs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he s in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the cloud of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Man’s days being 120 years is referring to the 6,000 years that man lives on earth doing things HIS way, and when that time period is over we have 1,000 years left in which Yahushuwa will rule with His saints, and do things HIS way. It is 120 Jubilees, which equals 6,000 years (120x50=6,000). He was giving us the timing for His return.

A generation being 70 or 80 years:
Psalm 90:10 King James Version
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten (70); and if by reason of strength they be fourscore (80) years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Psalm 90:10 King James Version
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten (70); and if by reason of strength they be fourscore (80) years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
So, in 2028, 80 years after 1948, our Messiah Yahushuwa will return, and that is when we will ‘fly away’ in the post-trib rapture. That verse is just a little icing on the cake.
There is another witness to the year 2028 as well. In 2014, two cows were born with the number 7 on their foreheads. THEY WERE BORN FIVE DAYS APART in different states. The first one was born in Loretta, Pennsylvania on September 20th, on Saturday, the Sabbath (and it was the final Sabbath before the Jewish civic new year. The second one was born in Gatesville, Texas. on September 25th, on the Feast of Trumpets. Both were born on significant days, holy days of Yahuwah. And if you add the two 7s you get 14 – in 14 years from that year is the year 2028.
Why make an issue out of these two cows? Aside from the things I just mentioned, there is Scripture about two sets of 7 cows in a dream that Pharaoh had. Sometimes Biblical prophecies have more than one fulfillment and meaning. Let’s look at this:
Genesis 41:17-21 King James Version
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
Here is the interpretation that Joseph gave to Pharoah concerning the dream:
Genesis 41:29-31 King James Version
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
The event that the cows in this dream represented was back in the time when it happened, but it may also be a type and shadow of a future event, as many other Scriptures are. The black cow with the fancy number 7 on its face may very well represent the seven healthier, fatter cows in the dream, and represent blessing and abundance in the land, as the cows in Pharaoh’s dream were prophetic of 7 years of abundance. This would be from September of 2014 until September of 2021. Although we had troubles in those years, we did also have a lot of blessings. C19 came on the scene in about February 2019 and things began to get gloomy with all the fear and restrictions that was promoted by the governments around the world. The restrictions caused many people to lose their jobs and businesses and the disease got many people sick and many died, and then the jab came into being and permanently injured and killed thousands upon thousands of people. So, things took a turn for the worse before the 7 years was up.
The brown cow with the plain number 7 may represent the seven thin, sickly cows in the dream, and represent removal of blessings, sickness and famine. People have been dropping dead by the thousands now that the jabs have had time to circulate in their bodies, and the boosters have been taken. Healthy athletes are now dropping dead while they are playing the sports, and even children are having heart attacks, heart disease and blood clots. This is very abnormal for children, but has become such a problem that pediatric cardiac centers are being built to treat all of the sick and dying children in. This was especially being noticed and dealt with starting in 2022. We’ve been advancing towards more and more difficult times and now, in 2023, experts are saying that there will be famine very soon. We will find out soon enough. It appears that the plagues of Revelation in the Bible are being poured out even now, and I expect the Tribulation to begin in the spring of 2025, which is only a little less than 2 years away (I’m writing this in June of 2023.) The Tribulation is 3 ½ years, not 7 years as many believe. See this blog to better understand this:

Leviticus 25:9-10 New International Version
9 Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land.
10 Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan.
Notice that the Jubilee starts on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).
Leviticus 25:9-10 King James Version
9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
Leviticus 25:9-10 King James Version
9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
There is speculation, based on Jubilee years and prophecy, that this will happen in the year 2028. I believe this. During the Jubilee of 2028, Yahushuwa will return and put an end to the Tribulation, and the earth will revert back to its original owner, which is Yahushuwa. All slaves were set free, and all sales of land were returned to the original owner in the 50th year. It is 2023 presently. We have only a little over five more years (from June 2023 until the fall feasts in 2028)! I’ll leave that right there. I’m not prophesying. I’m looking at the evidence and making an educated opinion. Watch for it.
Now I’m going to take this a bit further. We believe that Donald Trump is going to become president again in 2024. They'll swear him in, in January of 2025. We have believed this for over a year, and it’s interesting that he just announced in November of 2022 that he will run again. There is much evidence that he is the Little Horn in the book of Daniel. See this blog:
by Maria Merola Wold
The Scriptures tell us that those who refuse to accept the mark of the beast, and worship the beast, will be beheaded. We believe the mark of the beast will be injected into people's hands or foreheads by means of a va********* such as the present jab people have been getting or another soon to come one as another plague arrives, which I've heard is already on its' way here from China, and there is already a jab being prepared for it. I am hoping it's the latter.
In some countries it got to the point of not being able to do most things if you don’t have proof of the ‘stick’, and started moving in the direction of ‘take it or we will take you to a quarantine camp’ which is really a concentration camp where those who refuse will at some point in the future be be-headed as the Bible states. Here in America thousands upon thousands have lost their jobs for refusing it. How can you buy or sell without a job to get money to buy with? How can you pay your rent or mortgage, or buy food, if you lose the ability to buy or sell? Are you prepared for this? Or are you foolishly expecting to be raptured away before it gets to that point?
In Sweden they have been using the chip in their hands for years. Even in the USA the grocery store workers have had to scan some people’s hands to let them pay for their food. Many corporations offer the chip in the hand because they claim it is a convenience for their employees. And they’re breaking people in to the concept by putting computer chips in our pets, our driver’s licenses, credit cards and passports. It won’t be long before they’ll try to put a chip in everyone’s body. Taking the mark of the beast is basically a one-way ticket to hell. Let's not take any chances at all. It's better to starve and/or be beheaded than to go to hell. If you begin to think it's better to take the mark so you can feed your children, read this page of our blog - it's about hell and will enlighten you to what to expect, and I promise you, it's better to starve to death or be be-headed than to go here: HELL (Then there is a link to a page about Heaven.) See our blog The Mark of the Beast, Anti-Messiah and the Tribulation to get more details on this.
Trump praises himself for bringing about this shot, like it's a miracle thing, even though it's literally maimed and killed thousands of people, and Trump is also wanting to bring guillotines into use if he gets re-elected - we find that very compelling. By the way, everyone who takes the mark of the beast will not enter Heaven, but will end up in hell. They will not be able to buy or sell without this mark, and may be be-headed, but if they give in and take it, they will go to hell. 
Revelation 13:16-18 King James Version
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 14:9-11 King James Version
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Yahuwah, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelation 20:4 King James Version
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahushuwa, and for the word of Yahuwah, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Messiah a thousand years.
In the past, Antiochus stood in the temple and committed the abomination of desolation by setting up a statue of the Greek god Zeus and sacrificing a pig in the temple. He is considered an anti-christ and an example, type and shadow, of what may happen concerning the future anti-christ. This was the time-period when the Hanukkah story took place, when Antiochus took over the temple and the Maccabees fought against him and his people and won.
Important events on Yahuwah’s Biblical calendar always seem to take place on one of His feast days. I believe it’d be just like satan to have the abomination of desolation happen on Passover or Firstfruits. Watch for this and see if it happens.
Matthew 24:15-24 King James Version
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: (Jen’s note – notice that the Sabbath is not done away with but is being honored in these last days!)
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Messiah, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Messiahs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
I’m thinking that those from Judah who had to flee for protection are the 144,000 from the tribes of Israel – 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes, and they are the ones protected for 3 ½ years as they are sealed ahead of time. 144,000 is very likely referring to households and not individual people. And where it says they have not been defiled by women and are virgins, it means they haven’t been defiled by the mother harlot church. Read these verses first and then I’ll explain:
Revelation 7:1-4 King James Version
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Yahuwah: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of Yahuwah in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Revelation 14 King James Version
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto Yahuwah and to the Lamb.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: (Jen’s note – notice that the Sabbath is not done away with but is being honored in these last days!)
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Messiah, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Messiahs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Yahuwah: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of Yahuwah in their foreheads.

4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto Yahuwah and to the Lamb.
In verse 4 where it says they weren’t defiled with ‘women’, that word was translated wrong – The Greek word is #1135 in the Strong’s Concordance and means ‘woman’ – singular, not plural. (#1135 gune: goo-nay’ probably from the base of 1096; a woman; especially, a wife: - wife, woman.) And the Greek word for ‘virgins’ is #3933 parthenos: “A virgin; marriageable maiden; a woman who has never had sexual intercourse with a man; a man who has abstained from all uncleanness and whoredom or idolatry; a man who has never had intercourse with a woman.” The actual meaning of this verse is a man who has not committed whoredom or idolatry with the mother harlot church. Below is a link that may shed some light on the 144,000 topic. Check it out and see what you think.
Here is a link to several blogs about Donald Trump and his probable involvement in the Great Tribulation. We will find out when it either does or doesn’t happen this way. It’s good to prepare spiritually, mentally and physically.

They have all of the supplies needed for it and have just been waiting for the right time to do it correctly. A few years ago, they even asked Donald Trump to re-build it, and many have called him a messiah, so things are building up and it’s getting really exciting as we approach the end of the end-times and are SO CLOSE to the return of our true Messiah, Yahushuwa. Here is part of an article by Chris Mitchell from CBN News, written on 5-22-23, that will help explain some of it:
<<<Last September, five red heifers arrived in Israel amid great fanfare, because some Jews and Gentiles believe red heifers are a key element leading to the building of the Third Jewish Temple.
The heifers are now in a secure, undisclosed location in Israel. Plans include moving them, sometime soon, to a visitor’s center in Shiloh, where the tabernacle of the Lord once stood for nearly 400 years.
The book of Numbers explains that ashes of the red heifer are used to purify priests for their service in the Temple:
“Now, the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ‘This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying: Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which a yoke has never come. You shall give it to Eleazar the priest, that he may take it outside the camp, and it shall be slaughtered before him … its offal shall be burned … for the water of purification; it is for purifying from sin.’” (Numbers 19:1-5)
These red heifers are now between 1 ½ and 2 years old. To replicate the ceremony mentioned in the Bible, they need to be at least 3 years old. And within that time span, they cannot have a blemish or anything that would disqualify them for the ceremony, even one white or black hair.
According to those working on the project, the ceremony of the red heifer needs to be performed on the Mount of Olives, and in a place that would have looked directly into where the Temple stood. The land directly east of the Temple Mount, purchased 12 years ago, meets both of those standards.
Rabbi Yitshak Mamo owns that land on the Mount of Olives. Mamo is with Uvne Yerusalim, a group that preserves Israel's history and works to educate future generations.
Concerning the specifics of the land, he told CBN News, “It had to be exactly at the front of the place that the priest that made this ceremony can see the Holy of the Holy Place.”
Rabbi Mamo added, “And we hope that in a year and a half from today, we can make here in this area the ceremony of the red heifer that actually will be the first step to the Temple.”
He says the ceremony needs priests who have not been defiled by touching anything dead.
“The Temple Institute actually have, nine pure priests,” the rabbi explained. “They didn’t born in hospital, okay? They born at home. Because they are priests. So anyway, they don't go to any cemetery. And the parents keep them in a situation that they will not get to any cemetery, not going to other, any problematic place.”
He added, “And they are pure, and they are waiting. So, we have the priest, we have the red heifer, we have the land. We have everything ready. We just need to wait another one and a half year.”>>>
<<<So we believe that it's very likely that the ceremony would happen somewhere in the area of Passover, 2024, out to the possibility of Shavuot, 2024,” Stinson said. “Somewhere in that timeline, the cows would be old enough and it would be the proper timeline for that ceremony.”
Stinson believes this would be the first possibility for such a ceremony in 2,000 years, and that the process toward building a Third Jewish Temple began when the Jewish people started their return to the Promised Land from the four corners of the world, culminating with Israel becoming a nation.
“And then in 1948, in one day, they were reborn as a nation, and nobody said that could happen. And then, you move forward, and Israel continues to be this strong nation and all of these prophecies start fulfilling,” he said. “There's so many now being fulfilled, is just incredible. The evidence of what God is doing with Jerusalem is the center of that. And the Temple is the center of Jerusalem, and so how can it happen and how will it happen? I don't think anyone really knows for sure.”
Stinson maintains the Temple is meant to be a house of prayer for all nations.
“You know, in the Bible it says when Solomon built the First Temple, he said, this is a house of worship for all nations. And that's what the Temple is. And I think a lot of people think it's just a Jewish temple, but that's not true. It's for all the nations of the earth, he said.”>>>
<<<“Those who think about it and those who don't – most Christians, I think, don't think about about the Third Temple. But those who do believe that it will be built before Jesus returns, for the Second Coming, not necessarily before the Rapture, but definitely before the Second Coming, and that the anti-christ will take over that Third Temple during the Tribulation and try to rule the world from there.">>>
<<<Last September, five red heifers arrived in Israel amid great fanfare, because some Jews and Gentiles believe red heifers are a key element leading to the building of the Third Jewish Temple.
The heifers are now in a secure, undisclosed location in Israel. Plans include moving them, sometime soon, to a visitor’s center in Shiloh, where the tabernacle of the Lord once stood for nearly 400 years.
The book of Numbers explains that ashes of the red heifer are used to purify priests for their service in the Temple:
“Now, the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ‘This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying: Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which a yoke has never come. You shall give it to Eleazar the priest, that he may take it outside the camp, and it shall be slaughtered before him … its offal shall be burned … for the water of purification; it is for purifying from sin.’” (Numbers 19:1-5)
These red heifers are now between 1 ½ and 2 years old. To replicate the ceremony mentioned in the Bible, they need to be at least 3 years old. And within that time span, they cannot have a blemish or anything that would disqualify them for the ceremony, even one white or black hair.
According to those working on the project, the ceremony of the red heifer needs to be performed on the Mount of Olives, and in a place that would have looked directly into where the Temple stood. The land directly east of the Temple Mount, purchased 12 years ago, meets both of those standards.
Rabbi Yitshak Mamo owns that land on the Mount of Olives. Mamo is with Uvne Yerusalim, a group that preserves Israel's history and works to educate future generations.
Concerning the specifics of the land, he told CBN News, “It had to be exactly at the front of the place that the priest that made this ceremony can see the Holy of the Holy Place.”
Rabbi Mamo added, “And we hope that in a year and a half from today, we can make here in this area the ceremony of the red heifer that actually will be the first step to the Temple.”
He says the ceremony needs priests who have not been defiled by touching anything dead.
“The Temple Institute actually have, nine pure priests,” the rabbi explained. “They didn’t born in hospital, okay? They born at home. Because they are priests. So anyway, they don't go to any cemetery. And the parents keep them in a situation that they will not get to any cemetery, not going to other, any problematic place.”
He added, “And they are pure, and they are waiting. So, we have the priest, we have the red heifer, we have the land. We have everything ready. We just need to wait another one and a half year.”>>>

<<<Stinson told CBN News they plan to invite everyone to the red heifer ceremony that may take place during Passover, 2024.
“Everything is in place now with the red heifers. As long as they stay pure, one of them stays pure. Then we have everything in place, including the priest” he explained.
Rabbi Mamo recalled the writings of the Jewish sage Maimonides, who counted nine red heifers from Moses to the time of the Second Temple.
“It’s not his way to write, but suddenly he said that the tenth (heifer) will make the (coming of) Messiah,” he said. “So maybe – not maybe, we know – that the Messiah will make the tenth. Maybe we have the privilege to be one of these people that help the Messiah to do it. That's it. So, we're waiting.”>>>
If this happens as they are planning, and the ceremony takes place on or near Passover in 2024, then they can start re-building the temple right afterwards. It could be completed in about six months so it looks very plausible that it would be finished before Passover 2025 and the scenario I mentioned would fit right in there – that Trump would have a celebration on Passover of 2025, of the temple being finished, and declare himself the Messiah, or put up a statue of himself or of a fake ‘Jesus’, or have a pig roast, or something similar which would be an abomination.

Description of this book on Amazon.com:
“Recent developments have taken place that contribute to the Temple Movement's goals and the realization of the rebuilding of the Temple in our lifetime. Dr. Randall Price, World of the Bible
For thousands of years, the world has heard warning that there is a coming a day when the Man of Sin, the Antichrist, will arise to pilot the greatest deception in human history. Whereas almost anyone alive today can discuss the dictatorial global economics, societal horrors, and eventual apocalypse that follows his arrival, few appear to comprehend that there are negotiations in the workings at this precise moment to build the very location where the abomination of desolation will stand in the holy place. This, as the book of Daniel prophesied, will be the catalyst event.
...The beginning of the end.
Many believe that President Trump is Israel s next King Cyrus the facilitator and overseer of the building of the Third Temple and that his influential role in that pursuit is being guided by Hashem (God), Himself, in order to restore to His people the most sacred site of worship. Is a secret plan under development for construction of the Third Temple? And as these plans are increasingly expedited, will Trump succeed in raising this landmark, only to usher in the end of days?
In The Rabbis, Donald Trump, and the Top-Secret Plan to Build the Third Temple, you will learn:
-The connection between Donald Trump, the Rabbis, and a behind-the scenes scheme to erect the Third Temple
-The role Trump’s Orthodox Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner is playing with Saudi Arabia with plans to control the Temple Mount
-How Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel s capitol and his moving the US Embassy there sent a powerful signal to Third Temple advocates
-The controversy over the Temple Mount location and why the spot on which the Third Temple will be built will soon be unveiled
-What the Abomination of Desolation is and what the globe’s most powerful political personalities have to say about its future appearance on holy ground
-How recent archeological site metal-detector scans near the Qumran Caves point to the discovery of ancient Temple treasures (including the Ark of the Covenant), and how that relates to the building of the Third Temple
-The mystery of the Copper Scroll and what it disclosed
-Events involving Trump and other world leaders as the building of the Third Temple is underway, and the obvious end-times signals these events raise
-What is to take place when the Temple is constructed, then desecrated”>>>
On the Feast of Trumpets, at the last trumpet blow, ten days before the end of the tribulation, during the Ten Days of Awe, Yahuwah will gather (rapture) His faithful ones, His bride, the wise virgins who are ready to meet the bridegroom, the church of Philadelphia who have both the Messiah Yahushuwa (did not deny His name - are born-again and know the name of their Messiah) AND keep the commandments/law (have kept His word), and have an open door (to the wedding), give them their incorruptible bodies, and have the wedding with them for seven days.

John 3:36 King James Version
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of Yahuwah abideth on him.
The first ‘believeth’ is #G4100 in Strong’s Concordance, from ‘pisteuo’ which means 'to think to be true, to be persuaded of, to credit, place confidence in of the thing believed, in a moral or religious reference, to trust in Jesus or God as able to aid either in obtaining or in doing something'….
And ‘believeth not’ is #G544 in Strong’s Concordance, from #G545 ‘apeitheo’, which means to disbelieve (wilfully and perversely):—not believe, disobedient, obey not, unbelieving.
John 3:36 New American Standard Bible
36 The one who believes in the Son has eternal life; but the one who does not OBEY the Son will not see life, but the wrath of Yahuwah remains on him.
The King James Version does not translate this verse correctly, but the version above does.
If you truly BELIEVE in the Son, you WILL OBEY the Son, or if you don’t obey Him, then you don’t truly believe in Him.
Romans 2:5 New American Standard Bible
5 But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of Yahuwah,
1 Thessalonians 5:9 King James Version
9 For Yahuwah hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Messiah Yahushuwa

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Matthew 7:13-14 King James Version
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Most choose the wide path to destruction because they do not want to walk the narrow path and put the limits on their life choices as Yahuwah requires them to. Based on this Scripture in Revelation, I believe the only ones who will be raptured when it does happen are those who both have the Messiah AND obey the commandments:

Matthew 25:1-13 King James Version
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Revelation 3:7-13 King James Version
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will KEEP thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will KEEP thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of Yahuwah, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of Yahuwah, and the name of the city of Yahuwah, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from Yahuwah: and I will write upon him my new name.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
The word ‘keep’ here is #5083 'tereo' in Strong’s Concordance, and it means ‘to attend to carefully, take care of, to guard, keep one in the state in which he is, to observe, to reserve, to undergo something, preserve, hold fast.’
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of Yahuwah, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of Yahuwah, and the name of the city of Yahuwah, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from Yahuwah: and I will write upon him my new name.

The word ‘keep’ here is #5083 'tereo' in Strong’s Concordance, and it means ‘to attend to carefully, take care of, to guard, keep one in the state in which he is, to observe, to reserve, to undergo something, preserve, hold fast.’
Notice it says they have not denied His name? They have not denied Yahushuwa, they know and use His name. They have the Messiah as their Lord and Savior AND have kept His word (obeyed His commandments), and they will be 'kept' (attended to carefully, guarded, reserved, preserved) from the hour of temptation, which is referring to the Tribulation. It doesn't say they will be removed from it though. It doesn't say they will die in the tribulation either, although there are believers who will be beheaded for refusing to worship the beast and take his mark.
Most Christians REFUSE to use His real name, Yahushuwa, and insist on calling Him Jesus, even after we tell them that Jesus means 'Hail Zeus' and was deliberately changed to a pagan name by a Gnostic man, Origen, who was taught by a man named Clement, a teacher who said he will not teach Christianity unless it were mixed with pagan philosophy.
Joshua has the same Hebrew name as our Messiah, Yahushuwa. In the Greek Septuagint Joshua’s name was written ‘Iesou’. But in the 2nd century a Gnostic man named Origen made big changes in the Septuagint, corrupting it, one of them being a change in Joshua’s and Messiah’s name. Believing our Messiah was just another pagan god like Zeus, Origen changed the end of the Greek name by adding an 's’, so it became ‘Iesous’ and means ‘Hail Zeus!’, pronounced ‘ee-ay-zeus’. Then the name changed to Latin ‘Iesus’, and later the letter ‘J’ was invented and they made the name ‘Jesus’, which sounds like ‘Geezus’, and put it in the King James Bible in 1628.

Psalm 91:14 King James Version
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
That verse about the church in Philadelphia, applies to the five wise virgins who were qualified to make it into the marriage of the Lamb, as the bride of Yahushuwa, when He comes to take them up (rapture) – the door was open for them who obey His commandments (‘kept my word’) and knew the Messiah by His right name, but it shut for the foolish virgins and they had to go get oil for their lamps. A lady I know who is an excellent teacher on Biblical subjects made a very interesting statement that I want to share. She says this:
“We get a big clue in the following verse as to what the “oil” is in the lamps of these five wise virgins:
Song of Solomon 1:3 Because of the savour of your good ointments (shemen) your name (shem) is as ointment (shemen) poured forth, therefore do the virgins love you.
Did you see this, beloved? The five wise virgins have the “oil of his name!” The foolish virgins do not know his name!”
“Here is more evidence. The Congregation at Philadelphia is the only one out of seven assemblies that is given “an open door” to escape the last “ten days of tribulation” in Revelation 2:10. The Congregation at Smyrna had “good works” but there is no mention of them knowing his name. This is why Smyrna must “suffer tribulation for ten days!”
But Philadelphia has an open door that no man can shut, because they have not denied his name!” (by Maria Merola Wold)

Hosea 4:6 King James Version
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of Yahuwah, I will also forget thy children.
When they respond so fervently negative, and flat out refuse to accept the instructions in the Bible over their habits and traditions, they are at that point in rebellion. It’s one thing to not know any better and be doing the best one knows how to do with what they’ve been taught and practiced for years, but it’s a whole other thing to know about the instructions and just flat out refuse and disobey them – to not even start studying them out to learn the truth. Yahuwah’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge BECAUSE they REJECT knowledge and this is referring to the law of Yahuwah.
Proverbs 12:1 New International Version
1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.
Proverbs 1:7 King James Version
7 The fear of Yahuwah is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Matthew 5:17-18 King James Version
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Guess what? Look out your window! Heaven and earth have not passed away yet – when they do, after the Millennium, we will receive from our Creator a new heaven and earth. Also, all is not fulfilled yet – He still will return for His bride, stop the tribulation, and rule during the Millennium. When He finally brings down the new heaven and earth, THEN all will be fulfilled!
Romans 3:31 King James Version
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Yahuwah forbid: yea, we establish the law.
The Greek word for ‘make void’ is #2673 ‘katargoumen’ in Strong’s Concordance, and means 'to nullify, to abolish.' So, Paul just said, “do we abolish the Law? By no means!… we uphold the Law!” That totally agrees with Yahushuwah’s statement in:
Also, that phrase in Matthew is a Hebrew idiom. Idioms don’t mean what they look like they mean, and the local people know their true meaning but outsiders do not understand them. Some examples of some English idioms would be “break a leg” “knock yourself out” “that recipe is to die for!” Of course we wouldn’t be telling someone to really break their leg or knock themselves out or to die for a recipe. They are just expressions that mean “go for it” or “the recipe is the greatest!” So Hebrew idioms should be explained for us English speaking Bible readers, but they are not.
Abolish the law, as an idiom, means to destroy the intent and purpose of the law, not do away with the law itself, and fulfill the law, as an idiom, means to show us the true intent and way to keep the law, not to stop obeying the law. He didn’t come to destroy the intent and purpose of the law, but to show us the true intent and way to keep the law. That is what He was actually saying!
2 Peter 3:8-13 King James Version
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with Yahuwah as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 Yahuwah is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of Yahuwah will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of Yahuwah, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Romans 12:1 King James Version
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of Yahuwah, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto Yahuwah, which is your reasonable service.
1 Peter 2:5 King James Version
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to Yahuwah by Yahushuwa Messiah.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 King James Version
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of Yahuwah, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify Yahuwah in your body, and in your spirit, which are Yahuwah's.
1 John 3:6 says that those who sin (transgress His laws) haven’t seen or known Him – do our feelings over-ride these verses?
1 John 3:4-6 King James Version
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
And this one says HE doesn’t know US if we transgress His laws:
Matthew 7:21, 23 King James Version
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
***************************************************
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (which literally means practice lawlessness).
It doesn’t sound like those who transgress His laws have much of a relationship with Him, as they always claim to!
Hebrews 10:26-31 King James Version
26 For if we sin (transgress His law) wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of Yahuwah, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith Yahuwah. And again, Yahuwah shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living Yahuwah.
I don’t want to willfully transgress His laws, break His commandments, do things my way instead of His way. I take this verse seriously. Does that make me legalistic? To actually obey Him? Most Christians believe it does. It says He shall judge HIS people – that means us. This is not a verse for unbelievers. I feel like ignoring these verses is playing Russian Roulette with our salvation, and we are not willing to do that. Yahuwah is the one who draws the lines, and we do not know where He draws them, but we decided to take this stuff seriously and do our best to live according to His instructions, and teach this to others. How about you?
What happens to Christians who believe and confess the Messiah but do not keep the commandments? Some of them will hear “depart from Me, I never knew you, workers of lawlessness” and I believe these are the ones who have had the knowledge presented to them and they flat out rejected it so Yahuwah rejects them, because they kept willfully transgressing the law.
But there are many Christians who just plain don’t know any better because their pastors have lied to them (some of the pastors don’t know any better either, but they should), and they are loving Yahuwah to the best of their knowledge and ability, and seeking Him fervently, trying to live set-apart lives without sin, repenting when they recognize that they’ve sinned…. Personally, I believe they will probably make it to heaven. This is my opinion. Yahuwah is merciful, long-suffering, patient, kind, loving, and WANTS all of us to spend eternity there with Him. That is why He warns us so many times in His word about hell. He wants us to heed His warnings and avoid going to hell. It is the eternal destiny of all who refuse to get born-again and live by His instructions, and instead choose to live their ’own way’, rejecting His instructions.
Revelation 19:14 King James Version
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
The five foolish virgins, the church of Smyrna, will not be included in the rapture. They will be given time to go out and buy oil for their lamps (to receive Yahushuwa as their Messiah and get the Holy Spirit which comes with being born-again), but they, represented by the church of Smyrna who keeps the law but does not have the Messiah (unsaved Jews), will be left to suffer through the last ten days of Tribulation called ten days of awe, between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur.
Revelation 2:8-11 King James Version
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
He knows their ‘works’ just as He says He knows the church in Philadelphia’s works, “hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name”, “kept the word of my patience” - but doesn’t mention them not denying His name. The church of Smyrna obeys His laws/commandments but are not born-again yet through Messiah Yahushuwa – they apparently HAVE denied His name.
Zechariah 12:10 King James Version
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Revelation 1:7 King James Version
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Matthew 25:10 King James Version
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Genesis 29:28 King James Version
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
This story is connected with the story of Yahushuwa marrying His bride – the two become one, like the two sticks, the two houses of Israel, become one.
Ezekiel 37:16-17; 21-28 King James Version
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
7 The fear of Yahuwah is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Yahuwah's law is not abolished!
Matthew 5:17-18 King James Version
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Guess what? Look out your window! Heaven and earth have not passed away yet – when they do, after the Millennium, we will receive from our Creator a new heaven and earth. Also, all is not fulfilled yet – He still will return for His bride, stop the tribulation, and rule during the Millennium. When He finally brings down the new heaven and earth, THEN all will be fulfilled!
Romans 3:31 King James Version
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Yahuwah forbid: yea, we establish the law.
The Greek word for ‘make void’ is #2673 ‘katargoumen’ in Strong’s Concordance, and means 'to nullify, to abolish.' So, Paul just said, “do we abolish the Law? By no means!… we uphold the Law!” That totally agrees with Yahushuwah’s statement in:
Matthew 5:17-18 English Standard Version “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
Also, that phrase in Matthew is a Hebrew idiom. Idioms don’t mean what they look like they mean, and the local people know their true meaning but outsiders do not understand them. Some examples of some English idioms would be “break a leg” “knock yourself out” “that recipe is to die for!” Of course we wouldn’t be telling someone to really break their leg or knock themselves out or to die for a recipe. They are just expressions that mean “go for it” or “the recipe is the greatest!” So Hebrew idioms should be explained for us English speaking Bible readers, but they are not.
Abolish the law, as an idiom, means to destroy the intent and purpose of the law, not do away with the law itself, and fulfill the law, as an idiom, means to show us the true intent and way to keep the law, not to stop obeying the law. He didn’t come to destroy the intent and purpose of the law, but to show us the true intent and way to keep the law. That is what He was actually saying!
2 Peter 3:8-13 King James Version
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with Yahuwah as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 Yahuwah is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of Yahuwah will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of Yahuwah, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
FUTURE PROPHECY... This is what’s coming, and why it’s coming:
Isaiah 24:4-6 King James Version
4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
The above verse happens after the Millennium. And then....
Isaiah 24:4-6 King James Version
4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
The above verse happens after the Millennium. And then....
Revelation 21:1-6 King James Version
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from Yahuwah out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of Yahuwah is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and Yahuwah himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And Yahuwah shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
There is no new set of laws that replace the old laws. There are, however, some laws that are done differently because of the time and place where we are. Any laws that violate the laws of our land cannot be done, because we are also told to obey the laws of our land, and our legal system is not Biblical. People aren’t stoned for adultery and other crimes in our legal system. The whole system is done differently than the Bible’s instructions. And the sacrificial and temple laws are done in a different way because of Yahushuwa’s sacrifice on the cross.

Romans 12:1 King James Version
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of Yahuwah, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto Yahuwah, which is your reasonable service.
1 Peter 2:5 King James Version
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to Yahuwah by Yahushuwa Messiah.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 King James Version
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of Yahuwah, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify Yahuwah in your body, and in your spirit, which are Yahuwah's.
The professing Christians who eat pork and other forbidden meats that the law forbids, those who celebrate pagan holidays (which He commands us not to celebrate), or refuse to honor His holy days (which He tells us to celebrate), in other words, they refuse to obey His laws, will probably not get raptured at all. The definition of sin is to transgress His law, which includes the above-mentioned activities, and our Messiah is coming back for a bride that is without spot or wrinkle – that is holy and sanctified – does not live in sin.
1 John 3:6 says that those who sin (transgress His laws) haven’t seen or known Him – do our feelings over-ride these verses?
1 John 3:4-6 King James Version
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
And this one says HE doesn’t know US if we transgress His laws:
Matthew 7:21, 23 King James Version
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
***************************************************
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (which literally means practice lawlessness).
It doesn’t sound like those who transgress His laws have much of a relationship with Him, as they always claim to!
The average Christians do not qualify for the rapture or possibly even for heaven, because even after they are given the correct information and Scriptures, they usually reject it and continue to willfully disobey Him, which is sin.
Hebrews 10:26-31 King James Version
26 For if we sin (transgress His law) wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of Yahuwah, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith Yahuwah. And again, Yahuwah shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living Yahuwah.
I don’t want to willfully transgress His laws, break His commandments, do things my way instead of His way. I take this verse seriously. Does that make me legalistic? To actually obey Him? Most Christians believe it does. It says He shall judge HIS people – that means us. This is not a verse for unbelievers. I feel like ignoring these verses is playing Russian Roulette with our salvation, and we are not willing to do that. Yahuwah is the one who draws the lines, and we do not know where He draws them, but we decided to take this stuff seriously and do our best to live according to His instructions, and teach this to others. How about you?
What happens to Christians who believe and confess the Messiah but do not keep the commandments? Some of them will hear “depart from Me, I never knew you, workers of lawlessness” and I believe these are the ones who have had the knowledge presented to them and they flat out rejected it so Yahuwah rejects them, because they kept willfully transgressing the law.
But there are many Christians who just plain don’t know any better because their pastors have lied to them (some of the pastors don’t know any better either, but they should), and they are loving Yahuwah to the best of their knowledge and ability, and seeking Him fervently, trying to live set-apart lives without sin, repenting when they recognize that they’ve sinned…. Personally, I believe they will probably make it to heaven. This is my opinion. Yahuwah is merciful, long-suffering, patient, kind, loving, and WANTS all of us to spend eternity there with Him. That is why He warns us so many times in His word about hell. He wants us to heed His warnings and avoid going to hell. It is the eternal destiny of all who refuse to get born-again and live by His instructions, and instead choose to live their ’own way’, rejecting His instructions.
We have thought “why can’t we just leave people alone in their ignorance, since most of them rebel against any correction?” But like I said, there are verses saying if we see one in error we are to correct them or else their blood will be on our hands if they die in their sin and are judged, so we have to warn them.
Ezekiel 3:18-21 King James Version
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Ezekiel 3:18-21 King James Version
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
A friend told me about a dream she had that seemed to show those very people being some who are still alive when the Millennium begins, that Yahuwah doesn’t destroy them because they were not evil people (it says He destroys the evil ones in Revelation 19 and Zechariah 14), and they will learn to obey the laws at that time. I hope that is the case, and it makes sense, since Yahuwah IS so patient. We will find out when the time comes.
The people of the Church of Philadelphia have the Messiah as Lord and Savior, and they don't deny His name like most Christians do, AND have kept His word (obeyed His commandments), and they will be ‘kept’ (attended to carefully, guarded, reserved, preserved) from the hour of temptation.
This is the only congregation which has this protection. The Bible says that he who endures to the end will be saved (Matthew 24:13), indicating that salvation is a process, and this group who has both the Messiah Yahushuwa AND keeps the commandments/law will be helped to endure through the tribulation and taken up in a rapture before the seven bowl judgments are completed.
This church in Philadelphia represents the five wise virgins who have their lamps filled with oil. The door is open to them to meet their bridegroom when He comes for them (the rapture) on the Feast of Trumpets (also called ‘the day that no man knows’, and the day they announce the king) to get His bride, and when all the believers who previously died are risen out of their graves to meet Him in the air and to be His bride.

When they get raptured, near the end of the tribulation, it does not appear that Christians will be a part of this rapture, because most of them do not keep the commandments/law of Yahuwah. Most of them are workers of lawlessness, as they eat pork, catfish, shellfish, etc. (and Isaiah 66 says He's going to destroy those who eat swine's flesh), do not keep the 7th day Sabbath holy, do not celebrate the feast days of Yahuwah, and instead most of them celebrate the pagan holidays of Christmas and Easter, and some other pagan days as well. There are other laws they don’t even attempt to obey as well.
This is where being a Torah observant believer (aka Messianic, Hebrew Roots, or Natzariym) becomes very important, and that is why satan fights so hard against the typical Christians accepting any teaching on this (the topic in this website). He has his demons sitting on many of their shoulders with their arms wrapped around their eyes and ears so they will not see or hear the real truth of the gospel.
They may not know any better, but I do not know if that will be an acceptable excuse to Yahuwah or not, because many are EXTREMELY stubborn to even consider listening and learning. I sure wouldn’t want to take the chance that it is not. Plus I do know better, so I don’t even have that option. And you who are reading this website also should or will soon know better and need to adjust your life accordingly or you may not even make it to heaven at all. It’s not worth it to play Russian Roulette with your salvation. Read our page on Salvation - Eternal Life (How to obtain it and how to keep it) to understand what I'm talking about.
After ten days, the Ten Days of Awe, between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur, He will return with His bride/army on white horses on Yom Kippur, to end the Great Tribulation.
Revelation 19:14 King James Version
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
The five foolish virgins, the church of Smyrna, will not be included in the rapture. They will be given time to go out and buy oil for their lamps (to receive Yahushuwa as their Messiah and get the Holy Spirit which comes with being born-again), but they, represented by the church of Smyrna who keeps the law but does not have the Messiah (unsaved Jews), will be left to suffer through the last ten days of Tribulation called ten days of awe, between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur.
Revelation 2:8-11 King James Version
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
He knows their ‘works’ just as He says He knows the church in Philadelphia’s works, “hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name”, “kept the word of my patience” - but doesn’t mention them not denying His name. The church of Smyrna obeys His laws/commandments but are not born-again yet through Messiah Yahushuwa – they apparently HAVE denied His name.
The foolish virgins finally realize who their Messiah is and are born-again in Him, and He receives them as His bride also. They were marked for His salvation and protected through the tribulation (possibly the woman who fled on the wings of an eagle into the wilderness to be protected and nourished for 3 ½ years in Revelation 12:14-17), and at the end of this time period they finally believe that Yahushuwa is their Messiah. They now have their lamps filled with oil and are ready for the groom, and will be his bride also, with the five wise virgins, and will celebrate the wedding during the Feast of Tabernacles.
Here is a quote from Maria Merola Wold that may help it make more sense:
“Those who go into the marriage with the bridegroom are “taken,” and those who do not have their lamps filled (the five foolish virgins) are the ones who are “left” out of the marriage. To see more evidence for this, see my other article entitled: “Remember Lot’s Wife: Taken or Left?””
“Interestingly, the Hebrew & Greek meaning for the word “taken” means “to take into marriage” while the Hebrew & Greek meaning for the word “left” means “to divorce or forsake.” Contrary to what some people teach and believe, the five wise virgins who are “taken” represent the corporate bride of Messiah.”
“They will be taken into a “set-apart” place called the “chuppah” or “bridal chamber” (Psalm 19:5; Joel 2:16). After seven days in the chuppah, the corporate bride will return with Messiah on white horses (Revelation 19:7-14). But the five foolish virgins are the ones who are “left” out of the marriage.”
“From that group, there will be a remnant that will go and buy oil during “the ten days of tribulation” (Revelation 2:10). There will be some from that group who will be ready to meet their Messiah at the Mount of Olives when he returns (see Revelation 19 & Zechariah 12).” – end of quote by Maria Merola Wold
The wedding is a 7-day event (based on the ancient Jewish wedding ceremony) and on the 10th day, Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement ‘at onement’ – day of lifting the veil and seeing the spouse face to face) – those who were sealed but not yet born-again (didn’t have their lamps filled with oil yet but kept the commandments, unsaved Jews, the church in Smyrna) will see Him when He returns on Yom Kippur with His bride/army on white horses to put an end to the tribulation, and finally realize He is their Messiah, and they too will be His bride). This is the Second Coming of Yahushuwa.
Zechariah 12:10 King James Version
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Revelation 1:7 King James Version
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Matthew 25:10 King James Version
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
The five foolish virgins (church of Smyrna):
Revelation 2:10 King James Version
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Remember, these aren’t born-again (don’t have the testimony of Yahushuwa or His name) so they don’t qualify for the rapture, but they are Jews who faithfully keep the law, and will receive the true Messiah Yahushuwa during or at the end of this ten days, and will therefore become part of the bride of Yahushuwa. I don’t know how Yahuwah will choose to set these apart from Jews who will not ever receive Yahushuwa – perhaps through foreknowledge.
Revelation 19 King James Version
1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto Yahushuwa our God:
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
****************************************************
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for Yahuwah (God) the Messiah omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of Yahuwah.
****************************************************
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of Yahuwah.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty Yahuwah.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
****************************************************
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Zechariah 14 King James Version
1 Behold, the day of Yahuwah cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall Yahuwah go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and Yahuwah my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to Yahuwah, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And Yahuwah shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Yahuwah, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith Yahuwah will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from Yahuwah shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahuwah of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, Yahuwah of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith Yahuwah will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto Yahuwah; and the pots in Yahuwah’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto Yahuwah of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of Yahuwah of hosts.
So, our Messiah returns with His bride/army on white horses, steps on the Mount of Olives and splits it in two. This is His second coming. After the Second Coming, when the tribulation is finished and Yahuwah has taken the second bride, they will celebrate the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with both brides as one, during the seven-day long Feast of Tabernacles.
Revelation 19:9 King James Version
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of Yahuwah.
The idea of our Messiah taking the two brides at different times makes more sense if you remember the story of Jacob - how he married Leah first and fulfilled the ‘week’ with her, and then the father gave Him Rachel to be his wife also (Genesis 29:27–28.) This is prophetic of Messiah taking His bride in two events. There are a lot of types and shadows in the Bible, and some believe that this is one of them. We will find out for sure how it plays out when the time comes.
Revelation 2:10 King James Version
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Remember, these aren’t born-again (don’t have the testimony of Yahushuwa or His name) so they don’t qualify for the rapture, but they are Jews who faithfully keep the law, and will receive the true Messiah Yahushuwa during or at the end of this ten days, and will therefore become part of the bride of Yahushuwa. I don’t know how Yahuwah will choose to set these apart from Jews who will not ever receive Yahushuwa – perhaps through foreknowledge.
Revelation 19 King James Version
1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto Yahushuwa our God:
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
****************************************************
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for Yahuwah (God) the Messiah omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of Yahuwah.
****************************************************
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of Yahuwah.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty Yahuwah.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
****************************************************
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Zechariah 14 King James Version
1 Behold, the day of Yahuwah cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall Yahuwah go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and Yahuwah my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to Yahuwah, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And Yahuwah shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Yahuwah, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith Yahuwah will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from Yahuwah shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahuwah of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, Yahuwah of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith Yahuwah will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto Yahuwah; and the pots in Yahuwah’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto Yahuwah of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of Yahuwah of hosts.

Genesis 29:28 King James Version
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
This story is connected with the story of Yahushuwa marrying His bride – the two become one, like the two sticks, the two houses of Israel, become one.
Ezekiel 37:16-17; 21-28 King James Version
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
****************************************************
21 And say unto them, Thus saith Yahuwah; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I Yahuwah do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Concerning verse 24 above, from Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary, “This emblem was to show the people that the Lord would unite Judah and Israel. Christ is the true David, Israel's King of old; and those whom he makes willing in the day of his power, he makes to walk in his judgments, and to keep his statutes.”
Revelation 20 King James Version
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahushuwa, and for the word of Yahuwah, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Yahushuwa a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of Yahuwah and of Yahushuwa, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from Yahuwah out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before Yahuwah; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
21 And say unto them, Thus saith Yahuwah; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I Yahuwah do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Concerning verse 24 above, from Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary, “This emblem was to show the people that the Lord would unite Judah and Israel. Christ is the true David, Israel's King of old; and those whom he makes willing in the day of his power, he makes to walk in his judgments, and to keep his statutes.”
The New Millennium will begin real soon after the Tribulation has ended. This will be 1,000 years with Yahushuwa and His bride ruling the people according to His promises and laws. During the Millennium there will be animal sacrifices as a memorial, Yahuwah's feast days and Sabbaths, etc. (Yes, His law - called The Law of Moses, which was dictated to Moses by Yahuwah because it is Yahuwah's law.)
The devil will be bound during that time, and then released for a short time near the end of it to let those who want to rebel against Yahuwah rebel, and they will start a war. Then Yahuwah will stop the rebellion, judge the ungodly in the Great White Throne Judgment, and throw the devil and demons into the lake of fire along with the people who were not found written in the Book of Life. It is AFTER the Millennium when Yahuwah will destroy the heaven, and the earth with fire, and create a new heaven and earth, bring Heaven (the New Jerusalem) down to earth, and His people will dwell there with Him forever. THAT is when the LAW will be fully fulfilled.
