The Rapture

As you can see from the image above it appears that when the rapture happens G-D’s chosen will simply vanish. Is that true?

In this article we’re going to investigate what the rapture is, what happens when the rapture happens and when the rapture could be. This article is very important. Please read all of it.

To begin with: What is the rapture?

The rapture isn’t a word found in the Holy Scriptures of G-D’s Word. The word rapture in Greek means to be snatched or taken away. The Greek word for rapture is harpazo. You can read this link for a closer understanding: https://bible.org/question/where-did-term-8216rapture%E2%80%99-come

Does the Bible teach us that G-D’s chosen will be ‘Snatched’ or Taken Away’? Yes. But from what? That is what we have to carefully look at.

The rapture isn’t random or imminent as taught by some denominations. Before the world was even created G-D set a time to deliver HIS chosen people from this earth. The rapture will happen before G-D pours HIS Wrath out on the earth and before the Great Tribulation/Persecution period begins.

Daniel Ch 8: 23 In the latter part of their reign, when the evildoers have become as evil as possible, there will arise an arrogant king skilled in intrigue.

Before the beast in the Book of Revelation is revealed the evil doers on earth will have to become as evil as possible. G-D isn’t going to pour out HIS Wrath on a world that is Holy and Righteous. When the time comes to judge the world the world will be evil from every corner. What is the world today? The world demands the right to murder unborn babies in the womb. The United Nations protects perverts.

Quote from the UN: The United Nations has affirmed the right of trans persons to legal recognition of their gender identity and a change of gender in official documents, including birth certificates, without being subjected to onerous and abusive requirements. (source: https://www.ohchr.org/en/sexual-orientation-and-gender-identity/transgender-people)

What does G-D say about transgenders:

Deuteronomy Ch 5: 5 "A woman is not to wear men's clothing, and a man is not to put on women's clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to ADONAI your God.

The UN is trying to overrule G-D’s Holy Authority. This is from satan.

Quote from UN about abortion (murder of unborn babies): Access to safe and legal abortion and to quality post-abortion care, especially in cases of complications resulting from unsafe abortions, helps to reduce maternal mortality rates, prevent adolescent and unwanted pregnancies and ensure women’s right to freely decide over their bodies. (source: https://www.ohchr.org/en/statements/2022/07/access-safe-and-legal-abortion-urgent-call-united-states-adhere-womens-rights)

What does G-D say about the unborn:

Psalms Ch 139: 13 For you fashioned my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I thank you because I am awesomely made, wonderfully; your works are wonders -I know this very well.

15 My bones were not hidden from you when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes could see me as an embryo, but in your book all my days were already written; my days had been shaped before any of them existed.

No woman or country has the the right to murder what G-D gives to. The reason the murder of unborn babies is so rampant is because sexual immorality is rampant. The evil doers are becoming as evil as possible. This is the same reason why gays, lesbians, transgenders, are everywhere. The great falling away is taking place.

There are many more sins/evil/abominations. I don’t have enough space to write them all. You clearly see the point I’m making. When the nations of the world demand sin and protects sins due to the people of the world demanding sin then the evil doers are becoming as evil as possible. This is when G-D will judge the world. The rapture isn’t when G-D’s people are taken to a wedding feast in Heaven as taught by some. The rapture is to remove the Righteous from the world.

But why don’t the Righteous remain?

Answer:

Revelation Ch 12: 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of heaven and threw them down to the earth. It stood in front of the woman about to give birth, so that it might devour the child the moment it was born.

The dragon wants to devour the male child (the Body of JESUS/YESHUA) the moment it’s born. The male child will rule the nations with a staff of iron (Torah/Righteousness/Holiness)

Revelation Ch 12: 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, the one who will rule all the nations with a staff of iron. But her child was snatched up to God and his throne;

The male child is ‘Snatched’ (rapture) up to G-D and HIS Throne (Hallelujah). But if you look closely the male child was never meant to be taken from the world because it will rule the nations with a staff of iron. The male child is snatched away to be saved from the dragon. Why does the dragon want to devour the male child? Because the male child is going to destroy all evil and establish G-D’s Holiness and Righteousness throughout the earth.

Revelation Ch 12 is not speaking of JESUS/YESHUA’s Birth. Our SAVIOR was not snatched up to G-D and HIS Throne when HE was born. There was no fleeing to the wilderness. No Battle in Heaven. When JESUS/YESHUA was born no one tried to devour HIM. It wasn’t until the Maggi appeared when JESUS/YESHUA was about two (give or take a couple of months) that Herod gave the order to search for and kill HIM. Before the Maggi appeared no one even knew JESUS/YESHUA had been born who was in a position of authority.

John was shown events in his time and events to come in Revelation. Not events passed.

Revelation Ch 1: 19 So write down what you see, both what is now, and what will happen afterwards.

When the male child is snatched up to G-D and HIS Throne a battle happens in Heaven and the dragon and its demons are cast down to earth. The dragon goes after the woman’s children—those who obey G-D’s Commands and bear witness to YESHUA (Revelation Ch 12:7-17). This starts the Great Persecution period before G-D pours HIS wrath out on the earth.

Revelation Ch 7: 9 After this, I looked; and there before me was a huge crowd, too large for anyone to count, from every nation, tribe, people and language. They were standing in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palm branches in their hands;

10 and they shouted, "Victory to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

Revelation Ch 7: 13 One of the elders asked me, "These people dressed in white robes - who are they, and where are they from?"

14 "Sir," I answered, "you know." Then he told me, "These are the people who have come out of the Great Persecution. They have washed their robes and made them white with the blood of the Lamb

Those who come to faith in JESUS/YESHUA during the Great Persecution are commonly referred to as the ‘Tribulation Saints’.

When the Great Persecution period ends G-D’s wrath begins. The seventh Seal opens the Seven Shofars and later the seven Cups of Wrath are poured out on the earth. The Great Persecution period (3 1/2 years) is designed to draw people back to G-D through JESUS/YESHUA our LORD. Those people receive one last chance and accept it. By this time the male child is removed to G-D and HIS Throne in order to be saved from being devoured by the dragon. The male child is the Body of JESUS/YESHUA now.

What happens when the rapture occurs? Do people vanish into thin air? Do pets go in the rapture? Will planes crash?

The answer to those questions is not hard to answer.

The male child is ‘Snatched’ up to G-D and HIS Throne. G-D created the Heavens and the Earth and all that are in them in six days. How fast can G-D’s Mighty Hand snatch and save? Faster than the blink of an eye.

Before I go any further I need to state that 1 Thessalonians Ch 4, 1 Corinthians Ch 15 and Matthew 24 are not the rapture. Matthew Ch 24 and 1 Thessalonians Ch 4 are speaking about the Second Coming of JESUS/YESHUA and 1 Corinthians Ch 15 is speaking about the end of JESUS/YESHUA’S Millennial Kingdom when you are changed in a twinkling of an eye. If you have any questions about this please contact me or leave a comment. I will answer.

When the rapture happens there will be global chaos. But that’s the point. That sets the stage for the beast of revelation, the man of sin, to step forward and bring peace (The 1st seal Revelation Ch 6. The rider on the white horse). G-D has a plan and purpose for everything. This is why we have to pay attention to who the beast in Revelation Ch 13 is (I wrote an article on that. Please read).

When the rapture happens people will indeed vanish. Planes will crash. Cars will crash. Doctors and nurses will vanish. Soldiers and cops and firefighters will vanish. Every child under the age of accountability will vanish. There will be global chaos that will be restructured into the beast system. This is by G-D’s design, will and purpose. When people vanish how many nonbelievers will start to believe? There are countless purposes to the rapture that we can’t fully understand. If a husband sees his wife vanish who has been telling him about the rapture and then hears the world governments claim aliens were responsible and he starts to see the lies what will he believe? Not everyone will come to the truth but according to Revelation Ch 7 a huge crowd too numerous to count will.

In Revelation Ch 19 JESUS/YESHUA comes back with the Army of Heaven and defeats the beast and false prophet and the dragon is cast into the pit for a thousand years. The world has to be under the control of the dragon who gives its power to the beast before that. I believe Donald Trump is the beast spoke of in Revelation Ch 13 and 17 (please read my article I wrote on that issue).

The final question is when is the rapture? This is a question that is on millions of peoples minds it seems. People understand there is a change in the air. Something is happening. A shift. Evil is rampant. G-D’s children are begging JESUS/YESHUA to deliver them from this evil world—those who truly belong to G-D and are not believers by words only.

Is the rapture soon? I would say the rapture is sooner than anyone thinks or believes. All you have to do is look at how evil this world is. And because the beast of Revelation was voted back in as Presidents of the United States (read Revelation Ch 17: 9-11), I believe our time is extremely short. I believe it’s possible the beast will receive the fatal wound mentioned in Revelation Ch 13 before January 20th. If that’s so the male child will be snatched away by then. This is my personal belief and not a fact. I need to make that clear. I’m not a prophet. I’m a common man just like any other.

I believe JESUS/YESHUA was crucified, buried, risen from the dead and ascended into Heaven in the year 30AD. Two thousands years from 30AD is 2030. I also believe two cows with the number seven on their heads being born in 2014 during the Blood Moon Tetrad represented two sets of seven years—good and bad. I believe the seven years of bad began September 16 2023 and that the times of Jacob’s trouble began October 7 2023. It all ends in 2030 when JESUS/YESHUA returns. G-D is not a G-D of chance or coincidence. Before G-D created the world HE ordained everything that would happen.

There is so much more to talk about. The great American eclipse for example. I don’t want to make this article too long. I want to focus on the rapture. The rapture is not what some people may think. The rapture is part of G-D’s plan to save HIS children from being devoured by the dragon and this activates everything that must happen before JESUS/YESHUA returns in Revelation Ch 19. Think about how viciously G-D’s children are being persecuted around the world. If I tell a pervert he or she is living in sin I’m the one who gets faced with legal persecution. If I tell a woman she has no right to murder her unborn baby I’m the one who faces persecution. Look around the world. Look at all the evil. The evil doers are becoming as evil as possible. People don’t want to have children anymore. The lie of ‘Climate Change’ is everywhere. The family unit is decimated. Look at the movies, music, television shows, books, sports, singers, actors, politicians, school teachers, the military. Every aspect of life has been invaded by sin that is being taught and protected while G-D’s Holy Word and children are being attacked.

Is it any coincidence this persecution has ramped up like wild fire? If it’s this bad now think about how bad it will be when the Great Persecution begins. I’ll show you how bad it’ll be:

Revelation Ch 6: 9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for proclaiming the Word of God, that is, for bearing witness.

10 They cried out in a loud voice, "Sovereign Ruler, HaKadosh, the True One, how long will it be before you judge the people living on earth and avenge our blood?"

11 Each of them was given a white robe; and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow-servants should be reached, of their brothers who would be killed, just as they had been.

You will be put to death for proclaiming the WORD of G-D, that is, for bearing Witness. Think heavily on that. Let that sink in. Is the world we’re living in today defending G-D’s Holy Word or attacking it? How much more worse and evil will it be after the rapture happens.

The rapture has countless purposes. It’s just not about people vanishing. The rapture will set in order a series of events designed and ordered by G-D to fulfill HIS purpose. Nothing man thinks, says or does will change G-D’s Will.

I don’t believe in a pre-trib, mid-trib or post-trib rapture. I believe in G-D’s Deliverance and Holy Will. Where you will be at when the male child is snatched up to G-D and HIS Throne depends on your personal relationship with JESUS/YESHUA right now today. Many who proclaim the name of JESUS/YESHUA will be left behind because they confess HIM with their mouth but HE is far from their hearts. JESUS/YESHUA wants your heart. HE knows what is in your heart. Good or evil. The male child is the Body of JESUS/YESHUA. His Body has no evil or darkness in it. Hypocrites will be exposed at the rapture. Just because you sit on a church pew doesn’t mean anything. And don’t think your life will be care free before the rapture happens.

True believers: 2 Timothy Ch 3: 12 And indeed, all who want to live a godly life united with the Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted,

The rapture isn’t set to man’s timetable, doctrine or demand. The rapture will happen according to G-D’s HOLY Design and Will. Have we entered into the time of Jacob’s trouble? I believe so, as I mentioned. The times will get far worse. Have we entered into a time of seven years of famine? I believe so—but remember, G-D is going to send a famine over the earth not of food or water but of Hearing HIS WORD (Amos Ch 8:11). What will happen after the rapture? Who will be around to preach and teach G-D’s Word immediately after the rapture—and remember, according to Revelation Ch 6: 9 you will be put to death for proclaiming G-D’s HOLY WORD. This confirms to me the seven years of bad/famine has started.

Joseph revealed himself to his brothers two years into the famine (Genesis Ch 45:6). If the famine began September 16 2023 we are two years into the famine, the same year the beast of Revelation was voted back in as president of the United Sates. And who will be willing to make a covenant with the beast? Israel. They see Trump as some sort of savior.

We are in the end days. Look around. Open your eyes and ears to the truth of G-D’s Holy Word and stop listening to false pastors who tickle your ears.

I believe Revelation Ch 12:5 is the rapture. And the rapture is sooner than anyone thinks of believes. As a Messianic Believer in JESUS/YESHUA I study the Holy Scriptures through a Jewish view, not a gentile view. I hope this article helps someone understand more about the rapture and what the rapture means.
