The Rapture is About to Happen, Here's Why--Rapture?

[David in NJ]

The Jews will be saved by accepting the elect from the four winds who will enter the eastern gate of the Third Temple. This will happen after the 6th bowl of wrath. By accepting the righteous in the name of the righteous, the Jews will receive the reward of the righteous: Israel will become the kingdom of the Messiah, Christ.

No one is saved by a man-made temple or a man-made gate.

The Jews, as a nation will be SAVED the SAME way a Gentile is SAVED = Faith in the WORD that was God

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say,
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”

Faith is not shown in paying 10% of the income to scammers, but in the real acceptance of Jesus Christ when He was here in the First Coming or in the real acceptance of the saints who will enter the eastern gate of the Third Temple. This acceptance of the righteous in the name of the righteous will be the acceptance of Jesus Christ by the Jews: they will never accept the Babylon of Christian denominations with an idol instead of God, with a false Jesus, supposedly born on December 25, the birthday of the Roman sun god. The Jews will accept the real saints who will sacrifice themselves to God, gathering in Israel at the Third Temple.

What then? Are we Jews better than they/Gentiles? Not at all.
For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.

10As it is written:

“There is none righteous, no, not one;
11There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
13“Their throat is an open tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
“The poison of asps is under their lips”;
14“Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17And the way of peace they have not known.”
18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

26to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

God will justify the believer in the real Jesus, and not in the false Christ, the idol that replaced the real one in the 4th century.

If Christians behaved as we are told in Matthew 5-6-7, then the Jews would have believed in Jesus Christ long ago. The main obstacle to the world believing in Jesus is the Christians themselves. The disintegration of the Body of Christ into denominations, the violation of the main commandment of Jesus Christ about our unity, testifies that we see not Christianity, but a cargo cult imitating faith in Christ. Thank God, the Jews did not succumb to this counterfeit.

the REAL Jesus is in Heaven

the REAL Jesus is SPIRIT and HE stands at the door of a man's heart = same for the Jew and Gentile

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me."

the LORD Jesus Christ does not need judaism to SAVE the Jews = the Jews need JESUS to SAVE them = Zechariah 12:10

And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication;
then they will look on Me whom they pierced.
Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.

Oh, if you only understood what this prophecy is about! Here, the "house of David" is the apostles, and the "inhabitants of Jerusalem" are Christians (meaning the New, Heavenly Jerusalem).

After the construction of the Third Temple and the entry of the elect from the four winds into the eastern gate of the Temple, at the moment of closing the doors of the eastern gate, the end of the Church era will come. This is what the "tribes of the earth", carnal Christians in their denominations, will mourn about. "The family of the house of David" are the apostles, "the family of the house of Nathan" are the prophets, "the family of the house of Levi" are the shepherds, "the family of Simeon" are the teachers (see Zechariah 12:10-14). All these 4 ministries of Christianity will end after the entry of the "full number of the Gentiles" into the eastern gate of the Third Temple.

Because all these 4 ministries are needed only until the unity of faith is achieved, and the unity of faith will be demonstrated by those saints who entered the eastern gate.

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
(Ephesians 4:11-13)

You yourselves have pierced the Body of Christ with your divisions into denominations!

the Sanctified, Holy Spirit filled Jew Stephen disagrees with you


Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses to make it according to the pattern that he had seen, which our fathers, having received it in turn, also brought with Joshua into the land possessed by the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the days of David, who found favor before God and asked to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob. But Solomon built Him a house.

“However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says:

‘Heaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
What house will you build for Me? says the Lord,
Or what is the place of My rest?
Has My hand not made all these things?’

“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.
Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute?
And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers, who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.”

JESUS does not need judaism to save the Jews = the Jews need JESUS to save them = "they will look on ME whom they pierced"

Here Jesus is coming to the Jews now, having first built the Third Temple there with our hands. Jesus will come, incarnated in the Philadelphia Church, which will enter the eastern gate of the Temple. After the eastern gate is closed, the Angel of the Philadelphia Church will become equal to God, the Jews will worship Him - so it is written. The Jews will accept the people who entered the eastern gate, as they were supposed to accept Jesus Christ at the First Coming. This acceptance of the Angel of the Philadelphia Church will occur after the 6th vial of wrath (and Christian denominations will still resist this). After the 6th vial of wrath, the "rapture of the Church" will begin, the aliyah of the five wise virgins to the Lord in Israel. This aliyah will last 3 months, according to 2 Esdras 6:24, from the fast of 17 Tammuz (July 2, 2026) to Simchat Torah (October 3, 2026). Aliyah will end with the building of the city of Yahweh Shammah in Israel (Ezekiel 48:35). Thus the Jews will accept Jesus Christ at the Second Coming. The Jews will accept the real Jesus Christ, incarnate in the saints - the Christian denominations will reject the real Christ, remaining with their idol-mirage.

And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err. (Isaiah 30:28)

 

[Behold]

I don’t believe it’s gonna happen. So many predictions and nothing has happened.

2 Peter 3:3-4

"""Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”

Everyone is guilty before God = the Jew FIRST and also the Gentile

Jews & Gentiles, everyone's guilt/sins/trespasses/iniquities were placed upon MESSIAH on the Cross by the FATHER

the Rapture will only occur at His Second Coming and only AFTER the Resurrection of the Just

Jews and Gentiles are judged TOGETHER and Jews and Gentiles are SAVED TOGETHER

But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who [c]sleep in Jesus.

15For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are [d]asleep. 16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Yes, that's right. First, the Third Temple is built, described in Ezekiel chapters 40-43. The saints of all nations, "the fullness of the Gentiles," the glory of Christ, will enter through the eastern gate of the Temple. This entry will last 9.5 days, from Yom Teruah to Yom Kippur. On Yom Kippur, the eastern gate will be closed forever and it will be announced that the Lord God of Israel has entered through these gates.

Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. (Ezekiel 44:2)

This event will fulfill what you quoted: "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout ..."

Next, the dead must rise. The dead Jewish people must come to life, accepting from those who entered the eastern gate their faith in God.

For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? (Romans 11:15)

The entry of the elect is completed with the 7th trumpet, after which the vials of wrath against the unbelievers begin. The Jews as a whole must turn to God by accepting Jesus Christ, incarnate in the people who entered the eastern gate, after the 6th vial of wrath. Of course, this will be a gradual process. Tammuz 17 will simply be some kind of sign, a political decision, allowing the rest of the faithful churches of God, the "five wise virgins," to repatriate to Israel. These believers are Jews from within:

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. (Romans 2:29)

Therefore, the believers from among the "five wise virgins" have within themselves the "lost tribes of Israel", the "kings from the rising of the sun":

And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. (Revelation 16:12)

"Euphrates" is an image of Judaism. "East" in Hebrew is a synonym for "antiquity". This is the return (resurrection) of the lost tribes of Israel. They will reunite with the Jews and become one people of Israel.

Here are the events from the 6th to the 7th vial of wrath:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:17)

Here "clouds" are "multitudes of people," as in Hebrews 12:1 - "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses ..."

Here "caught up" means "take by force" as in John 6:15 - "When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone."

Here "air" is "the midst of this world," the dwelling place of the "prince of this world," as in Ephesians 2:2 - "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:"

This event will occur when the "rapture of the Church" is completed and the city of Yahweh Shammah appears in Israel (Ezekiel 48:35).

In the city of Yahweh Shammah there will be 12 gates, corresponding to the number of tribes of Israel, this indicates that by Simchat Torah, when this city appears, the dead will already be resurrected in Israel, the lost tribes of Israel will be restored.

"The Third Temple, according to the prophecy of Ezekiel, will be the place of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ."

I think you meant to say the anti-Christ sits there in a temple.
Another fact is Paul wrote this 2 Thess 2 while the second temple still stood, dying in 67AD thereabouts, and was still standing until 70 AD when it was dismantled by the Romans. So the third temple gets built and is claimed by anti-Christ. When Christ returns it is the Last Day and the end of this world.

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of [a]Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the [d]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only [e]He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

If you read Ezekiel, chapters 40-48, you would understand that there will never be a "man of sin" in the Third Temple.

In general, no man can sit in the Jewish Temple, in the Tabernacle. Apostle Paul spoke of a "man of sin" in the "naos", this is the Tabernacle, where the Holy of Holies is located. There is no place for a man there, no throne, no toilet. It is dark there. Ordinary visitors cannot enter there, only priests, descendants of Aaron. If a man sat on the throne in the Sanctuary, the Jews would be the first to expose him.

There was no point for Paul to intimidate pagan Christians with a "man of sin" in the Jewish Temple. Pagans were not allowed into the Temple. Apostle Paul wrote about a "man of sin" in the "temple of the living God". In both cases he used the same Greek word "naos".

The man of sin has long since replaced God in the "temple of the living God". The idol of the false Jesus, supposedly born on December 25, the birthday of the Roman sun god, is the "man of sin" in Christianity. This false Christ is a lawless person: he preaches the abolition of the law, he has abolished the main commandment of the Torah, repeated by Jesus: "The Lord our God is one Lord" - replacing it with the heresy of the "trinity". The lawless person transferred the Sabbath to Sunday, the day of the sun god. The lawless spirit forces the payment of the lawless tithe, despite the decree of the apostles, who freed the pagans from the need to observe the law of Moses. Now this Antichrist opposes the construction of the Third Temple, knowing that he will be exposed there.

There is nothing in scripture that says Christ returns to the Jewish rebuilt temple on the earth when He returns, except perhaps to destroy it.
And He can destroy the entire world without showing up any particular place, like walking on it.

The Day of the Lord​

5 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be [a]sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

11 Therefore [b]comfort each other and [c]edify one another, just as you also are doing.

The Day of the Lord​

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be [d]burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

God’s Final Judgment and Glory​

3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, 4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and [a]tribulations that you endure, 5 which is manifest[b] evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; 6 since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with [c]tribulation those who trouble you, 7 and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who [d]believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

Humility is needed to take an honest look at the other side of the issues. It is not giving the whole council of The Lord if we are one doctrine Christians, staunch, dogmatic, stiff-necked. We must do as much research on pro as well as con to properly make your opinion mean much. And that, with lot's of prayer for understanding.

If one ignores the full reason for the belief for one side and not the other? Just look at the fallout if your side is wrong. Have you not thought of these things @GISMYS_7 S ?

What if, all you do is give false comfort to the weak in spirit and unlearned? ALL whom you taught this doctrine will see that The Lord has actually NOT come back before "all these things" and imho, in droves go to get "the Mark". Follow the evil rule into damnation because 'you're" prediction did not come to pass. Would it not be better to strengthen our faith as we are told so very many times, especially concerning this doctrine? 'Be strong! Be of good courage'...

Romans 8:35
"Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword"

Love this one:

Proverbs 24:10
"If you are slack in the day of distress,
Your strength is limited."

Acts 14:22
"strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”

Philippians 3:14
"I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

If at least you could say that you are not "certain" as a true prophet would be for sure certain and be able to give scripture for both sides, unless you honestly did research the other side...s. Can't you accept that both sides have their scriptural reason?. Many used to be pro, including myself for a very long time...but no longer believe i yet, I'll not try to teach unless I've studied deeply both pro and con.
God bless you brother

The Comfort of Christ’s Coming​

13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen [b]asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who [c]sleep in Jesus.

15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are [d]asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

The Great Apostasy​

2 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of [a]Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the [d]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only [e]He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The Coming of the Son of Man​

24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; 25 the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then He will send His angels, and gather together His [h]elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.

Greeting the Seven Churches​

4 John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:

Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth.

To Him who [b]loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has made us [c]kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, [d]the Beginning and the End,” says the [e]Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
