Tribulation/ Rapture? Will we go through the tribulation/distress or will we be taken out of here? And if that, then when? Let’s examine some Scriptures, and gain a scriptural perspective.
14 “Therefore see, the days are coming,” declares יהוה, “when it is no longer said, ‘יהוה lives who brought up the children of Yisra’ĕl from the land of Mitsrayim,’ 15 but, ‘יהוה lives who brought up the children of Yisra’ĕl from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I shall bring them back into their land I gave to their fathers. 16 “See, I am sending for many fishermen,” declares יהוה, “and they shall fish them. And after that I shall send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
Will the Gentiles have a day of TzeRaH:צרה [distress/ trouble/ sorrow/ woe/grief/rival wife], followed by a day of reckoning about who YaHuWaH is? Does the gathering of His people to put them back into the land from whence He had driven them occur before or after He repays those in idolatry for their crookedness and their sin? Does the gathering of His people to put them back into their land occur before or after the christian event known as the ‘rapture’?
From Matthew 24: 3 [This was said approximately in the year 30 of the Common Era/ “A.D.”] And as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the taught ones came to Him separately, saying, “Say to us, when shall this be, and what is the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” 4 And יהושע (YaHuWShu’A) answering, said to them, “Take heed that no one leads you astray. 5 “For many shall come in My Name[/character], saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they shall lead many astray. 6 “And you shall begin to hear of fightings and reports of fightings. See that you are not troubled, for these have to take place, but the end is not yet. 7 “For nation shall rise against nation, and reign against reign. And there shall be scarcities of food, and deadly diseases, and earthquakes in places. 8 “And all these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then they shall deliver you up to affliction (צרה TzeRaH: trouble, sorrow, distress, woe, grief, rival wife] and kill you, and you shall be hated by all nations for My Name’s [ShaeMiY: Name/ character/ title’s] sake. 10“And then many shall stumble, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another. 11 “And many false prophets shall rise up and lead many astray. 12 “And because of the increase in lawlessness [PeSh’A פשע: transgression, trespass, rebellion] the love of many shall become cold. 13 “But he who shall have endured to the end shall be saved. 14 “And this Good News of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.
15 “So when you see the ‘abomination that lays waste,’ spoken of by Dani’ĕl the prophet, set up in the set-apart place” – he who reads, let him understand – 16 “then let those who are in Yehuḏah flee to the mountains. 17 “Let him who is on the house-top not come down to take whatever out of his house. 18 “And let him who is in the field not turn back to get his garments. 19 “And woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing children in those days! 20 “And pray that your flight does not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 “For then there shall be great distress [צרה TzeRaH: trouble, sorrow, distress, woe, grief, rival wife] , such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 “And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the sake of the chosen ones those days shall be shortened.
23 “If anyone then says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe. 24 “For false messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and they shall show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones. 25 “See, I have forewarned you. 26 “So if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe. 27 “For as the lightning comes from the east and shines to the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be. 28 “For wherever the dead body is, there the eagles shall be gathered together.
29 “And immediately after the distress [TzeRaT צרת: lengthened form of TzeRaH צרה] of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. 30 “And then the sign of the Son of Aḏam shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Aḏam coming on the clouds of the heaven with power and much esteem. 31 “And He shall send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32 “And learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is near. 33 “So you also, when you see all these, know that He is near, at the doors. 34 “Truly, I say to you, this generation shall by no means pass away until all this takes place. 35 “The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My words shall by no means pass away. 36 “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the messengers of the heavens, but My Father only. 37 “And as the days of Noaḥ, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be.
38 “For as they were in the days before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noaḥ entered into the ark, 39 and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be. 40 “Then two shall be in the field, the one is taken and the one is left. 41 “Two shall be grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left.
42 “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Master is coming. 43 “And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 “Because of this, be ready too, for the Son of Aḏam is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him. 45 “Who then is a trustworthy and wise servant, whom his master set over his household, to give them food in season? 46 “Blessed is that servant whom his master, having come, shall find so doing. 47 “Truly, I say to you that he shall set him over all his possessions. 48 “But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, 50 the master of that servant shall come on a day when he does not expect it, and at an hour he does not know, 51 and shall cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites – there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Based on Matthew [MaTiTh YaHuW: gift of YaHuWaH] 24, does the lengthened form of distress occur before the Sign of the Son of Man? would you say the gathering of YaHuWShu’A’s chosen ones occurs immediately before or immediately after the distress of those days? When the chosen ones are gathered together, are they taken to the land? or up off the Earth somewhere? He said in v. 11 that many false prophets shall rise up [after year 30…] and again, in verse 24, H says false messiahs and false prophets shall arise, showing great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones. He said, in v. 14: He said, “And this Good News of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.” In v. 21, He said there will be great distress [(צרה TzeRaH: trouble, sorrow, distress, woe, grief, rival wife], such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. In v. 22, it tells us those days had to be shortened, for the sake of the chosen ones–because otherwise no flesh would be saved. This is a time when major destruction of souls is happening. And, the chosen will be here for it. But, those days will be shortened because evil wants to destroy us all, and would have its way with us, if the days were not shortened.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18: 16 Because the Master Himself shall come down from heaven with a shout, with the voice of a chief messenger, and with the trumpet of Elohim, and the dead in Messiah shall rise first. 17 Then we, the living who are left over, shall be caught away together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air – and so we shall always be with the Master. 18 So, then, encourage one another with these words.
Do we stay in the air? Or is the Master meeting us there and then bringing us somewhere else? Is He bringing us to the land, from whence our ancestors were kicked out? (We should see Rev. 16-22 for more on this).
1 Thessalonians 5:1 Now, brothers, as to the times and the seasons, you do not need to be written to. 2 For you yourselves know very well that the day of יהוה [YaHuWaH] comes as a thief in the night.
3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then suddenly destruction [SheBeR שבר: to break into pieces; destroy; demolish; to buy; to sell; breaking; crushing; breach; fracture; solution or interpretation; literally: breaking of a dream; breaking, breach; he broke] [PiTOM פתאמ: suddenly] comes upon them, as labour pains upon a pregnant woman, and they shall not escape. 4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 So, then, we should not sleep, as others do, but we should watch and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But we who are of the day should be sober, putting on the breastplate of belief and love, and as a helmet the expectation of deliverance.
9 Because Elohim did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain deliverance through our Master יהושע [YaHuWShu’A] Messiah, 10 who died for us, so that we, whether awake or asleep, should live together with Him. 11 Therefore encourage one another, and build up one another, as indeed you do. 12 But brothers, we beg you to know those who labour among you, and are over you in the Master and admonish you, 13 and to hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
14 And we appeal to you, brothers, warn those who are disorderly, encourage the faint-hearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. 15 See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in all circumstances give thanks, for this is the desire of Elohim in Messiah יהושע for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 prove them all. Hold fast what is good. 22 Keep back from every form of wickedness.
23 And the Elohim of peace Himself set you completely apart, and your entire spirit, and being, and body – be preserved blameless at the coming of our Master יהושע Messiah! 24 He who calls you is trustworthy, who also shall do it.
25 Brothers, pray for us. 26 Greet all the brothers with a set-apart kiss. 27 I charge you by the Master that this letter be read to all the set-apart brothers. 28 The favour of our Master יהושע Messiah be with you. Amĕn.
We are told because we are sons of light, the Day of YaHuWaH is not going to overtake us. But, it will overtake the sons of darkness, and sudden destruction [SheBeR שבר: to break into pieces; destroy; demolish; to buy; to sell; breaking; crushing; breach; fracture; solution or interpretation; literally: breaking of a dream; breaking, breach; he broke] [PiTOM פתאמ: suddenly] will come upon them. I think this may have to do with the death of the dream of living in Babylon, and the choice of those who take the mark to buy and sell and work in this world system, and relying on this system to provide for them.
This passage also contains the prayer that we are set completely apart [not dependent on this Babylonian system]–our entire spirit and being and body, preserved blameless. It says Elohim did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain deliverance through our Master יהושע [YaHuWShu’A] Messiah. That word, ‘wrath,’ [חרונ: anger, burning, wrath]. Notice that it does not say that we were not appointed to distress tribulation.
2 Peter [KiYPhA]3:1 This is now, beloved ones, the second letter I write to you, in which I stir up your sincere mind, to remember 2 the words previously spoken by the set-apart prophets, and of the command of the Master and Saviour, spoken by your emissaries, 3 knowing this first: that mockers shall come in the last days with mocking, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all continues as from the beginning of creation.” 5 For they choose to have this hidden from them: that the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by the Word of Elohim, 6 through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. 7 And the present heavens and the earth are treasured up by the same Word, being kept for fire, to a day of judgment and destruction of wicked men.
8 But, beloved ones, let not this one matter be hidden from you: that with יהוה [YaHuWaH] one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9. YaHuWaH [יהוה] is not slow in regard to the promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward us, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of יהוה [YaHuWaH] shall come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with intense heat, and the earth and the works that are in it shall be burned up. 11 Seeing all these are to be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be in set-apart behaviour and reverence, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of Elohim, through which the heavens shall be destroyed, being set on fire, and the elements melt with intense heat!
13 But according to His promise we wait for a renewed heavens and a renewed earth in which righteousness dwells. 14 So then, beloved ones, looking forward to this, do your utmost to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, 15 and reckon the patience of our Master as deliverance, as also our beloved brother Sha’ul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him, 16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these matters, in which some are hard to understanda which those who are untaught and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do also the other Scriptures. 17 You, then, beloved ones, being forewarned, watch, lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the delusion of the lawless, 18but grow in the favour and knowledge of our Master and Saviour יהושע [YaHuWShu’A] Messiah. To Him be the esteem both now and to a day that abides. AMeiN.
4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of all the tribes of the children of Yisra’ĕl: 5 of the tribe of Yehuḏah twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Re’uḇĕn twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Gaḏ twelve thousand were sealed, 6 of the tribe of Ashĕr twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Menashsheh twelve thousand were sealed, 7 of the tribe of Shim‛on twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Lĕwi twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Yissasḵar twelve thousand were sealed, 8 of the tribe of Zeḇulun twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Yosĕph twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Binyamin twelve thousand were sealed.
In v. 1,2 we are told that the four messengers were given the authority to harm the Earth and the Sea. But, they are told to not harm the Earth, nor the Sea, nor the trees until the Messengers have sealed the servants of ELoHiYM upon their foreheads. Clearly, these servants of ELoHiYM are going to be on the Earth, and need to be protected by the seal of ELoHiYM on their foreheads, so that they will not be harmed. There is 12,000 from each tribe of the 13 tribes of Ya’AQoB, except for the tribe of DaN. Do you expect that you will be sealed? Do you know which tribe you will represent? If you live in the U.S.A, you are part of MeNaSheH, the son of YoWCePh. If you are part of England, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Canada, you are part of EPhRaiYM. These are the two sons of YoWCePh. For more on where these tribes are living today, please see Israel’s Tribes Today, by Steven M. Collins, or contact us for a link where we are or have been reading on Codesearcher Dot Net (youtube channel) through the chapter that discusses this information.
We are told that those dressed in white came out of the great distress [HaTzeRaH הצרה: THE distress/trouble/sorrow/woe/grief/rival wife] [HaGaDoLaH הגדלה: the greatness; the great Deeds [of]], and now are they have white robes, having washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb.
Revelation 9:1 And the fifth messenger sounded, and I saw a star from the heaven which had fallen to the earth. And the key to the pit of the deep was given to it. 2 And he opened the pit of the deep, and smoke went up out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun was darkened, also the air, because of the smoke of the pit. 3 And out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth, and authority was given to them as the scorpions of the earth possess authority. 4 And it was said to them that they shall not harm the grass of the earth, or any green matter, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of Elohim upon their foreheads.
5 And it was given to them that they should not kill them, but to torture them for five months. And their torture was like the torture of a scorpion when it stings a man. 6 And in those days men shall seek death and shall not find it. And they shall long to die, but death shall flee from them. 7 And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, and on their heads were crowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 And they had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots of many horses running into battle. 10 And they have tails like scorpions, and stings. And in their tails is their authority to harm men five months. 11 And they have over them a sovereign, the messenger of the pit of the deep, whose name in Heḇrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apolluon. 12 The first woe is past. See, two woes are still coming after this.
13 And the sixth messenger sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before Elohim, 14 saying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, “Release the four messengers, those having been bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 And the four messengers, those having been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16And the number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million, and I heard the number of them. 17 And this is how I saw the horses in the vision and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, and hyacinth blue, and sulphur yellow. And the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, and smoke, and sulphur. 18 A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the sulphur which came out of their mouths. 19 For the authority of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents, having heads. And with them they do harm.
20 And the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship the demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their drug sorceries, nor of their whoring, nor of their thefts.
Revelation 14:1 And I looked and saw a Lamb standing on Mount Tsiyon, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s Name written upon their foreheads. [At this point, those 144,000 who were sealed are on Mt. TziYoWN with the Lamb. Both He and they are on Mt. TziYoWN. They are still on the Earth.] 2 And I heard a voice out of the heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder, and I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. 3 And they sang a renewed song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders. And no one was able to learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.
8 And another messenger followed, saying, “Baḇel is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her whoring.” 9 And a third messenger followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark upon his forehead or upon his hand, 10 he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Elohim, which is poured out undiluted into the cup of His wrath. And he shall be tortured with fire and sulphur before the set-apart messengers and before the Lamb. 11 “And the smoke of their torture goes up forever and ever. And they have no rest day or night, those worshipping the beast and his image, also if anyone receives the mark of his name.” 12 Here is the endurance of the set-apart ones, here are those guarding the commands of Elohim and the belief of יהושע [YaHuWShu’A].
13 And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Master from now on.’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “in order that they rest from their labours, and their works follow with them.” 14 And I looked and saw a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was One like the Son of Aḏam, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another messenger came out of the Dwelling Place, crying with a loud voice to the One sitting on the cloud, “Send Your sickle and reap, because the hour has come for You to reap, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 16 And the One sitting on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. 17 And another messenger came out of the Dwelling Place which is in the heaven, and he too held a sharp sickle. 18 And another messenger came out from the altar, having authority over the fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him having the sharp sickle, saying, “Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe.” 19 And the messenger thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of Elohim. 20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the bridles of the horses, for about three hundred kilometres.
Notice, that those who are called first fruits are gathered with the Lamb at Mt. TziYoWN. They were innocent, separated, as severed from the world’s system. And, I believe they are also those that verse 22 is speaking about. They must still persevere on the Earth. They are guarding the commandments of ELoHiYM and the belief of YaHuWShu’A. They are still sealed, and still protected. And, notice that in v. 13, the voice from ShaMaYiM (‘the heavens’) said to write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Master from now on. And then, the Earth is sickled, because her grapes are ripe. The vine of the Earth is gathered and is thrown into the great winepress of the wrath of ELoHiYM. And, the winepress was trodden outside the city.
Revelation 15:1 And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and marvellous: seven messengers having the seven last plagues,a for the wrath of Elohim was ended in them. 2 And I saw like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those overcoming the beast and his image and his mark and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, holding harps of Elohim. 3 And they sing the song of Mosheh the servant of Elohim, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvellous are Your works, יהוה Ěl Shaddai! Righteous and true are Your ways, O Sovereign of the set-apart ones! 4 “Who shall not fear You, O יהוה, and esteem Your Name? Because You alone are kind. Because all nations shall come and worship before You, for Your righteousnesses have been made manifest.” 5 And after this I looked and saw the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Witness in the heaven was opened. 6 And out of the Dwelling Place came the seven messengers having the seven plagues, dressed in clean bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands.
7 And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven messengers seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of Elohim who lives forever and ever. 8 And the Dwelling Place was filled with smoke from the esteem of Elohim and from His power, and no one was able to enter the Dwelling Place until the seven plagues of the seven messengers were ended.
Revelation 16:12 And the sixth messenger poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, in order to prepare the way of the sovereigns from the east. 13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as frogs, 14 for they are spirits of demons, doing signs, which go out to the sovereigns of the entire world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of יהוה the Almighty.
16 And they gathered them together to the place called in Heḇrew, Har Meg̅iddo. 17 And the seventh messenger poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the Dwelling Place of the heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there came to be noises and thunders and lightnings. And there came to be a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not came to be since men were on the earth. 19 And the great city became divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Baḇel was remembered before Elohim, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And great hail from the heaven fell upon men, every hailstone about the weight of a talent. And men blasphemed Elohim for the plague of the hail, because that plague was exceedingly great.
Revelation 17:1 And one of the seven messengers who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying to me, “Come, I shall show you the judgment of the great whore sitting on many waters, 2 with whom the sovereigns of the earth committed whoring, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her whoring.” 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast covered with names of blasphemy [GaDaPh גדפ: to blaspheme], having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup filled with abominations and the filthiness of her whoring, 5 and upon her forehead a name written, a secret: BAḆEL THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE WHORES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the set-apart ones, and with the blood of the witnesses of יהושע [YaHuWShu’A]. And having seen her, I marvelled – greatly marveled! 7 And the messenger said to me, “Why did you marvel? Let me explain to you the secret of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the pit of the deep and goes to destruction. And those dwelling on the earth, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, shall marvel when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Revelation 20:1 And I saw a messenger coming down from the heaven, having the key to the pit of the deep and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he seized the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and he threw him into the pit of the deep, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should lead the nations no more astray until the thousand years were ended. And after that he has to be released for a little while.
4 And I saw thrones – and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them – and the lives of those who had been beheaded because of the witness they bore to יהושע [YaHuWShu’A] and because of the Word of Elohim, and who did not worship the beast, nor his image, and did not receive his mark upon their foreheads or upon their hands. And they lived and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years 5 (and the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended) – this is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and set-apart is the one having part in the first resurrection. The second death possesses no authority over these, but they shall be priests of Elohim and of Messiah, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years have ended, Satan shall be released from his prison, 8 and he shall go out to lead the nations astray which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog̅ and Mag̅og̅, to gather them together for battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they came up over the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the set-apart ones and the beloved city. And fire came down from Elohim out of the heaven and consumed them. 10 And the devil, who led them astray, was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet are. And they shall be tortured day and night forever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne and Him who was sitting on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged from what was written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and the grave gave up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 And the death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And if anyone was not found written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Question: Does Rev. 21 and 22 occur 1,000 years after the beginning of Rev. 20? Are we in agreement that those who reign with YaHuWShu’A for 1000 years were beheaded because of the witness they bore to YaHuWShu’A?
Malachi (MaLAKiY: My Messenger) 3: 1 “See, I am sending My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. Then suddenly the Master you are seeking comes to His Hĕḵal, even the Messenger of the Covenant, in whom you delight. See, He is coming,” said יהוה [YaHuWaH] of hosts [Tz’BaOWTh].
2 “And who is able to bear the day of His coming, and who is able to stand when He appears? For He is like the fire of a refiner, and like the soap of a launderer. 3 “And He shall sit as a refiner and a cleanser of silver. And He shall cleanse the sons of Lĕwi, and refine them as gold and silver, and they shall belong to יהוה [YaHuWaH], bringing near an offering in righteousness. 4 “Then shall the offering of Yehuḏah and Yerushalayim be pleasant to יהוה [YaHuWaH], as in the days of old, as in former years.
5 “And I shall draw near to you for right-ruling. And I shall be a swift witness against the practisers of witchcraft, and against adulterers, and against them that swear to falsehood, and against those who oppress the wage earner in his wages and widows and the fatherless, and those who turn away a sojourner and do not fear Me,” said יהוה [YaHuWaH] of hosts.
6 “For I am יהוה [YaHuWaH], I shall not change, and you, O sons of Ya‛aqoḇ, shall not come to an end. 7 “From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from My laws and did not guard them. Turn back to Me, and I shall turn back to you,” said יהוה [YaHuWaH] of hosts.
13 “Your words have been harsh against Me,” said יהוה [YaHuWaH], “but you have said, ‘What have we spoken against You?’ 14 “You have said, ‘It is worthless to serve Elohim. And what did we gain when we guarded His Charge, and when we walked as mourners before יהוה of hosts? 15 ‘And now we are calling the proud blessed – not only are the doers of wrongness built up, but they also try Elohim and escape.’ ” 16 Then shall those who fear יהוה [YaHuWaH] speak to one another, and יהוה [YaHuWaH] listen and hear, and a book of remembrance be written before Him, of those who fear יהוה, and those who think upon His Name. 17 “And they shall be Mine,” said יהוה [YaHuWaH] of hosts, “on the day that I prepare a treasured possession. And I shall spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him. 18 “Then you shall again see the difference between the righteous and the wrong, between one who serves Elohim and one who does not serve Him.
Malachi 4:1 “For look, the day shall come, burning like a furnace, and all the proud, and every wrongdoer shall be stubble. And the day that shall come shall burn them up,” said יהוה of hosts [YaHuWaH Tz’BaOWTh], “which leaves to them neither root nor branch.
2 “But to you who fear My Name the Brilliance of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go out and leap for joy like calves from the stall. 3 “And you shall trample the wrongdoers, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,” said יהוה of hosts.
4 “Remember the Torah of Mosheh, My servant, which I commanded him in Ḥorĕḇ for all Yisra’ĕl – laws and right-rulings. 5/6 “See, I am sending you Ěliyaha the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה. “And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with utter destruction…. And I shall spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.
This speaks of two books: A book of remembrance, and a book to remember. The book of remembrance is of those who fear יהוה, and those who think upon His Name. They shall be MINE, YHWH says, when He prepares His treasured possession. Then you shall again see the difference between the righteous and the wrong, between one who serves Elohim and one who does not serve Him.” Do you think it is likely these are those who are sealed with His Name in Rev. 7…who are of the 144,000 (12,000 from each tribe), and, who keep the commandments of YaHuWaH and have the testimony of YaHuWShu’A–the spirit of prophecy, are YaHuWaH’s treasured possession? If this is so, then it gives us a clue as to what they may be doing: “But to you who fear My Name the Brilliance of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings [we may be bringing healing]. And you shall go out and leap for joy like calves from the stall [we will have no concerns, but be joyous]. 3 “And you shall trample the wrongdoers, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,” said יהוה of hosts. The book to remember is the ToWRaH of MoSheH–the first five books of the Hebrew Scriptures.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a renewed heaven and a renewed earth, for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. 2 And I, Yoḥanan, saw the set-apart city, renewed Yerushalayim, coming down out of the heaven from Elohim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying, “See, the Booth of Elohim is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and Elohim Himself shall be with them and be their Elohim. 4 “And Elohim shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, nor mourning, nor crying. And there shall be no more pain, for the former matters have passed away.” 5 And He who was sitting on the throne said, “See, I make all matters new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and trustworthy.” 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the ‘Aleph’ and the ‘Taw’, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts I shall give of the fountain of the water of life without payment. 7 “The one who overcomes shall inherit all this, and I shall be his Elohim and he shall be My son.
9 And one of the seven messengers who held the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and spoke with me, saying, “Come, I shall show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the set-apart Yerushalayim, descending out of the heaven from Elohim, 11 having the esteem of Elohim, and her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal, 12 and having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Yisra’ĕl: 13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve emissaries of the Lamb. 15 And he who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod, to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. 16 And the city lies four-cornered, and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the rod: two thousand two hundred kilometres – the length, and the breadth, and height of it are equal. 17 And he measured its wall: sixty-five metres, according to the measure of a man, that is, of a messenger. 18 And the structure of its wall was jasper. And the city was clean gold, like clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls – each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was clean gold, like transparent glass. 22 And I saw no Dwelling Place in it, for יהוה [YaHuWaH] Ěl Shaddai is its Dwelling Place, and the Lamb.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it, for the esteem of Elohim lightened it, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 And the nations, of those who are saved, shall walk in its light, and the sovereigns of the earth bring their esteem into it. 25 And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night shall not be there. 26 And they shall bring the esteem and the appreciation of the nations into it. 27 And there shall by no means enter into it whatever is unclean, neither anyone doing abomination and falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
This book belongs to the Lamb–the MaShiYaCx, YaHuWShu’A.
Revelation 22:1 And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And no longer shall there be any curse, and the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 And they shall see His face, and His Name shall be upon their foreheads.
5 And night shall be no more, and they shall have no need of a lamp or the light of the sun, because יהוה [YaHuWaH] Elohim shall give them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. 6 And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. And יהוה [YaHuWaH] Elohim of the set-apart prophets has sent His messenger to show His servants what has to take place with speed.
10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near. 11 “He who does wrong, let him do more wrong; he who is filthy, let him be more filthy; he who is righteous, let him be more righteous; he who is set-apart, let him be more set-apart. 12 “And see, I am coming speedily, and My reward is with Me, to give to each according to his work.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And he who hears, let him say, “Come!” And he who thirsts, come! And he who desires it, take the water of life without paying! 18 For I witness to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, Elohim shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, Elohim shall take away his part from the Book of Life, and out of the set-apart city, which are written in this Book.
20 He that bears witness of these matters says, “Yes, I am coming speedily.” Amĕn. Yes, come, Master יהושע [YaHuWShu’A]! 21 The favour of our Master יהושע [YaHuWShu’A] Messiah be with the set-apart ones. Amĕn.

If you’ve stuck with me thus far, I think this video is rather sobering. Have no fear. YaHuWShu’A is with us. And יהוה [YaHuWaH] Elohim of the set-apart prophets has sent His messenger to show His servants what has to take place with speed.
