The rapture theory came into existence in 1830. A woman living in Europe named Margaret McDonald had a vision while stammering in tongues of the any moment now doctrine. The any moment now doctrine is that Christians would gather back to Jesus Christ at any moment. People by disregarding all prophecies in Yahveh’s word concerning what He said must come to pass before His return brought the any moment doctrine forward and ministries were formed because of it. Margaret McDonald even said it seemed very evil at first and it is.
Keep in mind that in St. Mark 13:23 Jesus Christ said to His disciples: But take ye heed: [beware] behold, [see] I have foretold you all things.
[Jesus Christ never said one word about returning before the tribulation of satan.]
There are some facts that you need to know before we start our study on the rapture theory. You need to know what kind of body you have other then your flesh body. You have two bodies. One is your flesh body and one is your spiritual body. They are two separate bodies. Your spiritual body dwells in your flesh body. Your spiritual body contains your soul when you are outside of your flesh body at the death of your flesh body.
[Let’s go to 1 Corinthians 15:34 and learn about your flesh body and your spiritual body. Paul will teach us]
1 Corinthians 15:34
34 Awake to righteousness, [wake up to what is right; use some common sense] and sin not; [in other words do what is right according to Yahveh’s word] for some have not the knowledge of God: [in other words some people are Biblically illiterate, they do not know Yahveh’s word, do not listen to them] I speak this to your shame.
[In other words if you do not have a good working knowledge of Yahveh’s word it is to your shame.]
[They were Biblically illiterate concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Paul had to tell them again that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. People there were teaching that Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead and that is a shame.]
35 But some man [some one] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what [kind of] body do they come?
[In other words what body are the dead raised in.]
[We know that the remains of many flesh bodies are nothing but bones. Using common sense we know they are not coming out of the ground and going back into a flesh body.]
[Paul is going to explain to the Corinthians and to you how the dead are raised up in the following verses. He is going to tell you what happens to people [souls] when their flesh bodies dies.]
36 Thou fool, [you foolish person]) that [the seed] which thou [you] sowest [what you plant in the ground] is not quickened, [quickened meaning to be made alive] except it die:
[Your flesh body must die before you can put on your spiritual body.]
37 And that which thou [you] sowest, [sow] [your flesh body is sown back into the ground when it dies] thou [you] sowest [sow] not that body that shall be, [in other words your flesh body is never coming out of the ground it was planted in when it dies. Your body will be different. You will go into your spiritual body] but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other [some one of the rest] grain:
[In other words grain is going to be a different body then what was planted, just as you will have a different body [a spiritual body] when you are quickened. Quickened meaning made alive when your flesh body dies.]
[The instant your flesh body dies you will go into your spiritual body.]
[As it is written in Ecclesiastes 12:7 your spirit which is the intellect of you soul will return to God [Yahveh] who gave it.]
38 But God [Yahveh] giveth [gives] it a body as it hath [has] pleased Him, and to every seed his [its] own body.
[Every person [soul] has a different body. We all look differently and have different finger prints.]
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another [one] flesh of beasts, another [one] of fishes, and another [one] of birds.
[They are all different.]
[Isaiah 11:6-9 tells us animals will be in Yahveh’s Eternal Kingdom and they will not hurt nor destroy. There will be no meat eaters in Yahveh’s Eternal Kingdom. Animals will be changed from the flesh also.]
40 There are also celestial [heavenly] bodies, and bodies terrestrial: [earthly, clay, flesh bodies] but the glory of the celestial [heavenly] is one, [it thinks in one way] and the glory of the terrestrial [earthly, clay, flesh body] is another.
[The terrestrial body thinks in an earthly way.]
[You have two bodies. Your celestial body dwells in your flesh body as long as your soul is in your flesh body.]
[As it is written in the King James Bible in St. John chapter three you must be born again. It should read born from above because in the Greek manuscripts from which St. John was translated it is written you must be born from above. Yahveh places a soul within you at conception. There is glory in the flesh because you come to know our saviour Jesus Christ [Yahshua] in the flesh and He was not too good to be born into the flesh to save you.]
41 There is one glory [splendor] of the sun, and another glory [splendor] of the moon, and another glory [splendor] of the stars: for one star differeth [is different] from another star in glory.
[All stars are different. In Job 38:7 and Revelation 12:4 Yahveh’s children are called stars.]
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. [this is how it is when the dead are resurrected] It is sown [buried] in corruption; [corruption meaning it is a body that is perishable, and it is going to rot] it is raised in incorruption:
[Raised in incorruption meaning it is raised in a spiritual body which is not perishable, it does not age, it does not get sick. Your spiritual body is for eternity IF, IF you put Jesus Christ first in your life by doing His will. His will is that you learn and be a sincere doer of His word.]
[When talking about corruption in verse forty two the subject is the body not the soul.
Your soul which is you and your spirit which is your thinking process resides in your flesh body until your corruptible body dies and then instantly your soul and spirit will go into your spiritual body which is incorruptible. You will then be in your celestial [heavenly] body.]
43 It is sown in dishonour; [in other words all flesh falls short, we are all sinners] it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; [flesh is weak] It is raised in power.
[It is raised by the power of Yahveh.]
44 It is sown [buried] a natural body; [a flesh body is not going to come up out of the ground] it is raised [changed to] a spiritual body. [the instant your flesh body dies you will go into your spiritual body] There is a natural body, [a flesh body] and there is [also] a spiritual body.
[There are two different bodies. Your spiritual body dwells within your flesh body.]
[Let’s go to Ecclesiastes 12:6, keeping in mind that the flesh body is sown [buried] a natural body and raised a spiritual body.]
Ecclesiastes 12:6-7
6 Or ever the silver cord [i. e. the spinal cord.] be loosed, [the cord of life, your flesh body dies] or the golden bowl be broken, [i. e. the head or skull.] or the pitcher [the failure of the heart] be broken at the fountain, [the fountain of flesh life, you die] or the wheel [the wheel on which the bucket is brought up by rope from the cistern, or well]
broken at the cistern.
7 Then shall the dust [your flesh body] return to the earth as it was: [your flesh body was made up from minerals and water in organic matter which grew out of the dirt as plants your mother ate during the nine months she carried you in her womb. Your flesh body is going back to dirt, and it is not going to be raised up. You are done with it.] and the spirit shall return unto God [Yahveh] who gave it.
[The moment your flesh body dies your spirit goes back to Yahveh who gave it to you, and at that moment you go into your spiritual body. Your spirit is the intellect [the thinking process] of your soul. Your soul is best described as you. It does not matter what body you are in, you are you, and you are one soul.)
[Let’s return to 1 Corinthians 15:45]
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made [literally became into] a living soul; the last Adam [Jesus Christ] was made [literally became into] a quickening [life giving] spirit.
[Jesus Christ is the only one that can grant you eternal life. It is written in Geneses 3:20 that Eve is the mother of all living. Eve is the mother of all living because the genealogy of Jesus Christ is pure all the way back to Eve and only through Jesus Christ can you have eternal life. It does not matter what race you are or what you believe.]
46 Howbeit [how could it be] that was not first which is spiritual, [a spiritual body] but that which is natural; [a flesh body] and afterward that which is spiritual [a spiritual body].
[In other words why did Yahveh do it that way? Why did Yahveh create people in a spiritual body, and put their soul in a flesh body and after their flesh body dies put their soul back into a spiritual body?]
[The reason we are in a flesh body in this earth age is because of the overthrow of satan in the first earth age that was. People are being tested in this flesh body earth age. We are here to make up our minds to love Yahveh, this world, or satan. It is your choice. If you are not one of Yahveh’s elect predestined from the first earth age that was or one of Yahveh’s free will elect in this earth age you will be judged to either live or die at The Great White Throne Judgment at the end of the millennium, over one thousand years after Jesus Christ [Yahshua] returns to earth. To be one of Yahveh’s free will elect you must put Jesus Christ first in your life by doing His will. His will is that you learn and be a sincere doer of His word.]
47 The first man [Adam] is of the earth, earthy: [he is clay] the second man [Jesus Christ] is the Lord from heaven.]
[Adam was formed; Jesus Christ [Yahshua] was begotten, and He was Emmanuel, Yahveh with mankind in a flesh body.]
[The texts omit “the Lord”.]
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: [earthy meaning we are not perfect, we are sinners] and as is the heavenly, [the inner man or woman] such are they also that are heavenly.
[Let the inner man or woman, the one born from above control your life.]
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
[In other words everyone is going to be changed into a spiritual heavenly body.]
[Let’s go to Philippians 3:20 and see what Paul had to say to the Philippians about this.]
Philippians 3:20-21
20 For our conversation is [exists even now] in heaven; from whence [heaven] also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
[Jesus Christ [Yahshua] is in heaven.]
[Conversation meaning the seat of government of which we are citizens, and of which we have both rights and responsibilities.]
21 Who shall change [transform, or change the fashion of] our vile body, [vile meaning a body of low estate, our flesh bodies] that it may be fashioned like [be conformed] unto His [Jesus Christ’s] glorious body, [Jesus Christ’s [Yahshua’s] body is a heavenly, terrestrial body] according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue [subject] all things unto Himself.
[In other words our Lord Jesus Christ [Yahshua] is in control of all things.]
[In Geneses 1:26 Yahveh said let us make [form] man in our image. [resemblance] It is more then likely we will look the same in a spiritual body as we do in a flesh body with one difference, in a spiritual body we will be perfect.]
[The texts omit “that it may be”.]
[Let’s return to 1 Corinthians 15:50.]
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood [your flesh body] cannot [is not able to] inherit [possess or go into] the kingdom of God; [Yahveh] neither doth corruption [a perishable, sickly body] inherit incorruption [immortality].
[Only a spiritual body can inherit incorruption. [immortality] Your spiritual body does not become immortal [eternal] unless you put Jesus Christ [Yahshua] first in your life by doing His will. His will is for you to learn and be a sincere doer of His word.]
[Your flesh body can not enter into the Kingdom of Yahveh because the Kingdom of Yahveh is in a different dimension and is why no one has seen Yahveh except for a chosen few that were allowed to see Him in order to carry on His work. As it is written in St. John 14:9 “if you have seen Jesus Christ you have seen the Father”.]
51 Behold, I shew [tell] you a mystery; [secret] We shall not all sleep, [in other words we are not all going to die] but we shall all be changed,
[All people that are alive in a flesh body will be changed into a spiritual body when Jesus Christ [Yahshua] returns to earth. Everybody will be changed for the millennium teaching period and judgment at The Great White Throne Judgment.]
[The subject in verse fifty two is when are all flesh bodies going to change into spiritual bodies.]
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead [even the spiritually dead, people that are dead to the truth of Yahveh’s word] shall be raised incorruptible, [incorruptible meaning they are mortal, libel to die] and we shall be changed.
[All people that are alive in a flesh body will be changed into a spiritual body when Jesus Christ returns to earth. Everybody will be changed for the millennium teaching period and judgment at The Great White Throne Judgment.]
[The last trump is the seventh trump. Our Lord Jesus Christ [Yahshua] returns to earth at the seventh trump. As it is written, satan will appear on earth at the sixth trump five months before Jesus Christ returns.]
53 For this corruptible [perishable flesh body] must put on incorruption, [in other words your perishable flesh body must put on a spiritual heavenly body and immortality] and this mortal [mortal meaning a libel to die soul in a spiritual heavenly body] must put on immortality.
[Immortality meaning deathlessness.]
[To put on immortality put Jesus Christ first in your life by doing His will. His will is for you learn and be a sincere doer of His word. It is not hard to do. This does not mean we are perfect.]
54 So when this corruptible [perishable flesh body] shall have put on incorruption, [a spiritual Heavenly body] and this mortal [mortal meaning this libel to die soul in a spiritual body] shall have put on immortality, [immortality meaning deathlessness, eternal life] then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
[The saying is written in Isaiah 25:8 and Yahveh said it.]
[You put on immortality [eternal life] by believing in and doing what Jesus Christ [Yahshua] requires you to do.]
55 O death, where is thy [your] sting? [death has no sting] O grave, [death] where is thy [your] victory?
[The texts read “death” instead of “grave”.]
[Death does not have any victory over those that put Jesus Christ [Yahshua] first in their lives by being sincere doers of His word because they are granted eternal life by Yahveh.]
[There will be no more death after The Great White Throne Judgment because satan and all souls that failed to put Jesus Christ first in their lives before The Great White Throne will be destroyed in the lake of fire.]
[Because of what is written in 1 Corinthians 15:35–55 you should be able to understand that we are not gathering back to Jesus Christ until the seventh trump. Satan will appear at the sixth trump five months before Jesus Christ returns to earth. Anyone in a flesh body will be here for the tribulation of the anti [instead of] Christ satan.]
[Now we are going to continue our study in 1 Thessalonians chapter four, verse thirteen. 1 Thessalonians chapter four is primarily where the so called rapture doctrine comes from. 1 Thessalonians is a letter authored by the apostle Paul to the Thessalonians.]
[The so called rapture doctrine was founded from the rest of the verses in 1
Thessalonians chapter four. They are about the return of [Yahshua] our Lord Jesus Christ. The Greek manuscripts are very exact, and specific. When a subject with an object is introduced man is unable to change it, and if they change it they are false teachers of Yahveh’s word. If you disagree with Yahveh’s word you are disagreeing with Yahveh not the man who is teaching the word. Some people say the Bible can be interpreted many ways. This is not true because must be interpreted from the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts keeping the subject and the object in mind.]
1 Thessalonians 4:13
13 But I [we] would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them [people] which are asleep, [people that are asleep are people who died in the flesh and went into their spiritual bodies] that ye [you] sorrow not, [in other words do not feel bad when people you love die] even as others [the Heathen, people that do not believe in Yahveh/Jesus Christ] which have no [not] hope.
[The subject in verse thirteen is where are the people that are dead. The answer is in verse fourteen.]
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, [if you believe that fact] even so [the same way, Jesus is the example] them also which sleep in [through] Jesus will God [Yahveh] bring with Him.
[“Through” the Lord Jesus Christ we have peace, reconciliation, sonship, the Holy Spirit gifts, victory, and other blessings.]
[Jesus Christ/Yahveh will bring them with Him because they are already with Him.]
[People [souls] that are under the altar of Yahveh [Revelation 20:4] and the multitudes of people [souls] written of in Revelation 7:9 will be with Jesus Christ when He returns to earth.]
[The subject in verse fifteen is we that which are alive in a flesh body and remain on earth in this dimension unto the coming of the lord.]
15 For this we say unto [to] you by the word of the Lord, [not man’s word] that we which are alive [in a flesh body] and remain [remain on earth in this dimension] unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent [precede] them which are asleep.
[In other words we that are living in the flesh when Jesus Christ returns can not precede people that have died in the flesh and went into their spiritual bodies because they are already with Him. Their soul and spirit returned to our Lord Jesus Christ the instant their flesh bodies died.]
[You should be able understand that there is no rapture by Paul saying for this we say unto [to] you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [in a flesh body] and remain [on earth in this dimension] unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent [precede] them which are asleep.]
16 For the Lord Himself shall descend [come down] from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: [at the seventh trump] and the dead in Christ shall rise first
[People whose flesh bodies have already died will rise first because they are already with Yahveh. You can not precede them because they are already with Him. You can
document they are already with Him by what St. John said in Revelation 6:9-11 and Revelation 20:4.]
[It is my opinion the dead in Christ are people from under the altar of Yahveh. [God] People that put Yahveh/Jesus Christ first in their lives in the first earth age and this second earth age; people raised up in the first resurrection.]
17 Then [at the seventh trump, Jesus Christ returns at the seventh trump] we which are alive [alive in a flesh body] and remain [remain loyal to our Lord Jesus Christ instead of being deceived by the anti [instead of] Christ satan] shall be caught up together with them [with the people He brings with Him from Heaven] in the clouds, [crowds of
people] to meet the Lord in the air: [air meaning in a spiritual body] and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
[Ever be with the Lord meaning at all times because we will have an incorruptible spiritual body that is not going to die.]
[Resurrect meaning to a higher level, meaning up. We will be caught up spiritually with people [souls] that Jesus Christ brings with Him.]
[The word air in verse seventeen does not mean sky. It is the Greek word 109 in Strong’s concordance, it is to breathe unconsciously, to respire, and by analogy to blow, it is the breath of life, it means that we are going to meet Jesus Christ in our spiritual bodies.
The word clouds came from Paul’s custom of using clouds as a figure of speech. It means a big bunch and we still use it today in saying, did you see that cloud of locust, did you see that cloud of grasshoppers, or they covered the sky like a cloud. Let’s document how Paul uses the word cloud in Hebrews 12:1, keeping in mind Paul was the author of the book of Hebrews, and 1 Thessalonians.]
Hebrews 12:1
12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed [surrounded] about with so great a cloud [a large bunch] of witnesses, [Christian witnesses] let us lay aside every weight, [sin] and the sin which doth [does] so easily beset (handicap) us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
[In other words let us take Yahveh’s word forward as it is written in His word.]
[The word cloud is used in Hebrew 12:1 the same way it was used in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Paul the author of both 1 Thessalonians and Hebrews spoke colloquial Greek, and he used a lot of terminology of figures of speech such as clouds.]
[Paul knew his first letter to the Thessalonians 1 Thessalonians had deceived some of then concerning our gathering back to Jesus Christ so he wrote the second letter 2 Thessalonians shortly after he wrote the first letter 1 Thessalonians.]
[Let’s go to 2 Thessalonians 2:1 and see what Paul had to say about our gathering back to our Lord Jesus Christ.]
2 Thessalonians 2
2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, [in other words we want to talk to you real serious brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ] by [about] the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by [about] our gathering together unto him,
[In other words I am going to tell you about the coming of Jesus Christ and exactly how we are going to gather back to Him when He returns.]
[Pay close attention to the following verses because they are from Yahveh through Paul, not mans word saying we are going to fly away [rapture out of here.]
2 That [to the end that] ye [you] be not soon shaken in mind, [in other words do not get your mind twisted out of shape by being deceived by so called preachers of Yahveh’s word and others that do not know the truth] or [nor] be troubled, neither by spirit, [by evil spirits, some may even look like preachers or pastors] nor by word, [mans word and traditions of men] nor by letter as from us, [In other words do not let the first letter 1 Thessalonians about our gathering back to Jesus Christ deceive or trouble you] as that the day of Christ is at hand.
[In other words as to when Jesus Christ will return to earth. Do not think that Jesus Christ will return at any moment because prophecy must be fulfilled first.]
[Do not be shaken in mind because Paul is going to tell you what must happen before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, and then he is going to tell you exactly the way it is going to happen.]
3 Let no man [or woman] deceive you by any means: for that day [the return of our Lord Jesus Christ] shall not come, except [unless] there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
[The man of sin, the son of perdition is satan the anti [instead of] Christ.
[The falling away is people believing in something that is contrary to the word of Yahveh. When satan appears people will believe he is Jesus Christ and turn away from the true Christ and worship satan.]
[The son of perdition is satan. The word perdition translated back to the Greek language in Strong’s concordance is number 684 and 622, and it means to perish. Except for the fallen angels satan is the only one of Yahveh’s [God’s] sons sentenced to eternal death. You can document this in Ezekiel 28:18.]
[Paul has just told us that satan must be revealed before we gather back to Jesus Christ.]
[The following verse tells you what satan is going to be doing here on earth after he is revealed.]
4 Who opposeth [opposes] and exalteth [lifts] himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; [an object of worship] so that he [satan] as God [calling himself God and claiming to be God/ Jesus Christ] sitteth [sits] in the temple of God, [in Jerusalem] shewing [showing] himself that he is God [Yahveh].
[The texts omit “as God”.]
[satan will be showing the world that he is Yahveh/Jesus Christ. He will be sitting on the north side of the temple on Mt Zion and he will claim to be Yahveh and he is going to deceive most all people of the world into believing he is Yahveh.]
[You should be able to see by what Paul has said that satan must appear first before the return of Jesus Christ. For that reason nobody is flying away anywhere, and there is no such thing as a rapture.]
[The so called rapture [Jesus Christ coming here to take His so called followers away from here before the tribulation of satan] is false church doctrine, and the doctrine of man. You can believe what the bible tells you or you can believe what man tells you, it is your choice.]
[satan calls himself the morning star; he is the fake morning star. Jesus Christ is the true morning star. The morning star is the first light, the first bright light you see in the morning. Jesus Christ is the first light, the truth. satan is a liar and the father of all lies. Which will you follow? It is your choice. Learn what Yahveh had written for you in His word. Do not be deceived.]
[Do not just call yourself a Christian until you do the works of a Christian by studying Yahveh’s [God’s] word, rightly dividing Yahveh’s word, separating what man has to say from what Yahveh has to say to you, and therefore showing yourself approved, then our Lord [Yahveh] can say, well done my good and faithful servant. What is it going to be for you?]
[Paul continues]
5 Remember ye [you] not, [don’t you remember] that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye [you] know [it is in your mind] what withholdeth [holds fast] that he might be revealed in his time.
[In other words you know the order of events that must come to pass before Jesus Christ will return to earth.]
[Keep in mind when you read verse seven we have been talking about satan. satan is the object of the seventh verse.]
7 For the mystery of iniquity [the lawlessness of the lawless one satan] doth [does] already work: [the lawlessness works actively through the Kenites and Kenite controlled people. Kenites are the offspring of satan and Eve’s affair in the Garden of Eden. Cain is the offspring of satan and Eve. [documentation St. John chapter eight] It has been going on since the first sin in the Garden of Eden] only he [Michael the archangel] who now letteth [holds on to satan] will let, [Michael will let when he kicks satan out of Heaven] until he [satan] be taken out of the way [midst].
[satan is in Heaven; this is documented in Revelation 12:7. Only satan’s evil spirits are on earth at this time. Let’s go to Revelation and document Michael the archangel is the one that letteth and will let. Michael will let satan come to earth when he kicks him out of Heaven.]
Revelation 12:7-9
7 And there was [came to be] war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; [the dragon is satan] and the dragon [satan] fought and his angels,
[The texts read “[going fourth] to war with” instead of “fought against”.]
8 And prevailed not; [satan and his angels lost] neither was their [satan and his angel’s] place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon [satan] was cast out, [down] that old [ancient] serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth [literally the one deceiving] the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
[satan is going to deceive all people that do not have the seal of Yahveh in their forehead. People that do not have the seal of Yahveh in their forehead [brain] are people that fail to know Yahveh’s word. They are people that failed to put Jesus Christ [Yahshua] first in their lives by learning and becoming sincere doers of His word. This includes all people that believe in the so called rapture doctrine. satan appears five months before Jesus Christ pretending that he is the real Jesus Christ. Those believing in the rapture doctrine will follow satan because they think Jesus Christ has come to rapture them out of here. They will be deceived and suffer the consequences.]
[Let’s return to 2 Thessalonians 2:8.]
8 And then [after Michael kicks satan out of Heaven and people have been deceived by satan into believing he is the true Christ and worship him] shall that Wicked [the wicked one is satan the lawless one] be revealed, [people will know he is satan] whom the Lord [Jesus Christ] shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, [with the living word, this word] and shall destroy [bring to nought] with the brightness of His [Jesus Christ’s] coming:
[In other words the manifestation, the brightness of our Lord Jesus Christ, His truth, fairness and love will by far overshadow [surpass, outshine] satan that he will be rendered entirely useless.]
[You should be able to see in verse eight that satan is coming to earth before the return of Jesus Christ.]
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
[This says after the working of satan because satan has many roles he plays down through the years. As it is written in St. John 8:44 satan is a liar and the father of all lies.]
10 And with all [every] deceivableness [trickery, deception, twisted truth] of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, [the truth is Yahveh’s word] that they might be saved.
[Saved meaning to be granted eternal life.]
11 And for this cause [reason] [because they did not want the truth] God [Yahveh] shall send them strong delusion, [a working of error] that they should believe a lie:
[In other words Yahveh will help them to believe the lie’s of satan including the rapture doctrine given to them by false teachers of His word because they turned their backs on Him. They did not learn Yahveh’s word.]
12 That [in order that] they all might be damned [condemned, or judged] who believed not the truth, [the truth is the written word, this word, Yahveh’s word] but had pleasure [were well pleased] in unrighteousness.
[Pleasure in being deceived by the rapture theory [doctrine] and following the anti [instead of] Christ satan and breaking Yahveh’s laws.]
[Our Lord Jesus Christ [Yahshua] gave us a seven step program making it very clear what had to happen before His return when we would gather back to Him. St. Matthew chapter twenty four, St. Luke chapter twenty one, and St. Mark chapter thirteen basically teach these seven events that consummate [complete] the end of this earth age. The seven events are the seven signs, the seven seals, and the action of the seven trumps. Jesus Christ [Yahshua] tells you what must happen so you will not be deceived by the anti [instead of] Christ satan or anyone else before He returns to earth. Let’s go to St. Mark chapter thirteen and see and understand what has to happen before we will gather back to our Lord Jesus Christ.]
St. Mark 13
13:1 And as He [Jesus Christ] went out of the temple, one of His disciples saith [said] unto [to] Him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
2 And Jesus answering said unto [to] him, Seest thou [see] these great buildings? there shall not [by no means] be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as He [Jesus Christ] sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
[There was no one else there.]
4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled [finished]?
[In St. Matthew 24:3 the question is a little different but clarifies the subject and object of St. Mark chapter thirteen. Let’s go there and then we will return to St. Mark 13:5 and see with understanding what must happen before our Lord Jesus Christ returns to earth.]
St. Matthew 24:3
3 And as He [Jesus Christ] sat upon the mount [mountain] of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, [alone] saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? [when will this city be destroyed] and what shall be the sign of thy [your] coming, [presence] and of the end of the world [the meeting together of all that marks the consummation of the age: not the actual end of the world]?
[In other words what will be the sign of your return to earth and the meeting together of all that marks the consummation of the age; not the actual end of the world.]
[Keep in mind the following verses are going to tell us the seven events that must happen before Jesus Christ returns and the end of this earth age. The seven events are the seven signs, the seven seals, and the action of the seven trumps.]
[Let’s return to St. Mark 13:5 keeping in mind these are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. Mankind will deceive you but your Lord Jesus Christ [Yahshua] will tell you the truth.]
St. Mark 13:5
5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed [be real careful] lest any man [or woman] deceive you:
[The first warning is do not be deceived by mankind. satan uses men and women to deceive people.]
6 For [because] many shall come in [trading upon] My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
[In other words so called ministers, preachers and teachers of Yahveh’s word trading upon in the name of Jesus Christ will deceive many people.]
[So called ministers, preachers, and teachers of Yahveh’s word that teach the rapture any moment doctrine are going to cause you to be deceived if you listen to and believe them. Beware of them. Study Yahveh’s word with understanding so you will not be deceived into believing a lie.]
7 And when ye [you] shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye [you] not troubled: for such things must needs be; [are necessary] but the end shall not be [come to pass] yet.
8 For nation shall rise against [upon] nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers [different] places, and there shall be famines [scarcity of food] and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows [birth pangs].
[The word sorrows in the Greek language meaning labor pains; meaning the beginning of a new earth age; the earth age our Lord Jesus Christ will bring in when He returns as Lord of lords and King of kings.]
[When Jesus Christ returns this earth age will end and a new earth age will begin.]
[As it is written in Amos 8:11 the famine in these end times will be for the word of God, and so it is because there are very few ministries that teach Yahveh’s word chapter by chapter, verse by verse, precept upon precept the way Yahveh’s word is meant to be taught.]
9 But take heed to yourselves: [be very careful] for they shall deliver you up to [unto] councils; and in [unto] the synagogues [the churches of satan built around satan as he sits on Mt. Zion claiming to be Yahveh] ye [you] shall be beaten: and ye [you] shall be brought before rulers and kings for my [Jesus Christ’s] sake, for [with a view to] a testimony against [to] them.
[For a testimony to Kenites and Kenite controlled people.]
10 And the gospel [the glad tidings, the good news about Jesus Christ] must first be published [proclaimed] among [unto] all nations.
11 But when [whenever] they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye [you] shall speak, neither do ye [you] premeditate: [in other words do not think about what you are going to say] but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye [you] that speak, but the Holy Ghost [the Holy Spirit].
[The word hour meaning the hour of temptation. It is written of in Revelation 3:10. The hour of temptation is a five month period when satan will be on earth claiming to be Jesus Christ. Yahveh’s elect will not be tempted because they know His word. Revelation chapter nine documents that it will be a five month period of time.]
[Untold numbers of people will think satan is Jesus Christ who came to rapture them out of here. Do not be fooled.)
[The hour of temptation is also the hour that satan the son of perdition has with the political system spoken of in Revelation Chapter 17:12.]
12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; [child] and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
[Believing satan is Jesus Christ will cause you to become spiritually dead. Untold numbers of people will believe satan is Jesus Christ who came to rapture people out of here. They will cause family members to become spiritually dead by convincing family members satan is Jesus Christ. Believing satan is being spiritual dead. Believing Jesus Christ is life.]
13 And ye [you] shall be hated of [by] all men for [on account of] My [Jesus Christ’s] name’s sake: but he [or she] that shall endure [remain] unto [to] the end, the same shall be saved.
[It is my opinion the end meaning until the end of this earth age. The new earth age will begin when Jesus Christ returns to earth.]
14 But when ye [you] shall see the abomination of desolation, [satan] spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it [he] ought not, [satan will be standing in the holy place claiming to be Yahveh] (let him [or her] that readeth [reads this] understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
[In verse fourteen Jesus Christ is telling you that you will see satan. If you were raptured out of here how could you see satan? The answer is there is no rapture, and you will be here if you are in a flesh body when satan appears on earth.]
[In verse fourteen Jesus Christ is referring to Daniel 9:27. In the Hebrew manuscripts from which the King James Bible was translated Daniel 9:27 actually said he [the desolator] will come in on the wings of a bird in the middle of the week and he shall bring desolation for he is the desolator.]
[Desolator is an entity; desolation is a condition; the subject is he that comes because the words he, she, him and an object are the same word in the Greek language.]
[Judaea is the geographical location where Mt Zion lay’s.]
[Jesus Christ [Yahshua] is telling people that understand what is going to happen, and He is telling people to flee to the mountains because as it is written in St. Matthew 24:2, St. Mark 13:2. and St. Luke 21:6 there will not be one stone left on top of another that shall not be thrown down.]
[There is going to be a whole lot of shaking going on.]
15 And let him [or her] that is on [upon] the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his [or her] house:
[It is so close to the end you will not need anything out of your house.]
16 And let him [or her] that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his [or her] garment [clothing].
[It so close to the end you are not going to need any clothes.]
17 But woe [grief] to them that are with child, [spiritually the word child meaning satan] and to them [people] that give suck in those days!
[Jesus Christ expects you to be a virgin bride when He returns. IF you have been deceived by satan into believing he is Jesus Christ [Yahshua] come to rapture you out of here you are with child. Jesus Christ is saying woe [grief] to people that are not spiritually virgins and are giving suck.]
[Giving suck means following after, and believing satan’s lies, and doing his work.]
[Do not be deceived into following satan by believing the traditions of men and church systems and the so called rapture some of them embrace.]
[Keep in mind that these are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is telling you exactly how it is going to be before His return.]
18 And pray ye [you pray] that your flight be not in the winter.
[In other words make sure you know when the true harvest is, do not get harvested out of season by satan.]
[When Jesus Christ returns he is going to harvest the earth of its people. Harvest time is always in the spring, summer, and fall. Do not be harvested out of season!]
19 For in those days shall be affliction, [tribulation] such as was not [has not been the like] from the beginning of the creation which God [Yahveh] created unto this time, neither [nor by any means] shall be.
[There are two tribulations. The first tribulation is the affliction [tribulation] after the anti [instead of] Christ [satan the desolater] appears on this earth and deceives most people on this earth into believing he is Jesus Christ. So called Christians who believe in the rapture doctrine will believe Jesus Christ has come to rapture them out of here and they will be deceived. The second tribulation is when Jesus Christ returns to earth to rule with a rod of iron.]
20 And except that the Lord [Yahveh/Jesus Christ] had shortened those days, [the days of the tribulation of satan the anti [instead of] Christ) no flesh [no people in flesh bodies] should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom He [Yahveh] hath [has] chosen, He [Yahveh] hath (has) shortened the days.
[Yahveh’s elect are people that put Jesus Christ first in their lives by learning and becoming sincere doers of His word. They are Yahveh’s true church. The elect are going to be here during satans tribulation. IF there was a rapture they would not be here. This should show you there is no such thing as a rapture.]
[satan will come in peacefully and prospersly. In other words satan will be making it real good for people. He will claim to be saviour. He will be able to perform supernatural miracles.]
[Let’s go to 2 Thessalonians chapter two and read again what Paul has to say about the return of Jesus Christ and how it is going to be at that time.]
2 Thessalonians 2
2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, [in other words we want to talk to you real serious brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ] by [about] the coming [return] of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by [about] our gathering together unto Him,
[In other words I am going to tell you about the return of Jesus Christ and exactly how we are going to gather back to Him when He returns.]
[Pay close attention to what follows. This is word from Yahveh through Paul, not mans word saying we are going to fly away [rapture out of here.]
2 That [to the end that] ye [you] be not soon shaken in mind, [in other words do not get your mind twisted out of shape by being deceived by so called preachers of Yahveh’s [God’s] word and others that do not know the truth] or [nor] be troubled, neither by spirit, [by evil spirits, some may even look like preachers or pastors] nor by word, [mans word and traditions of men] nor by letter as from us, [in other words do not let the first letter 1 Thessalonians about our gathering back to Jesus Christ deceive or trouble you] as that the day of Christ [the day Jesus Christ will return to earth] is at hand [present].
[In other words do no think Jesus Christ will return at any moment because prophecy must be fulfilled first.]
[Do not be shaken in mind because Paul is going to tell you what must happen before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, and then he is going to tell you exactly the way it is going to happen.]
3 Let no man [or woman] deceive you by any means: for [because] that day [the return of our Lord Jesus Christ] shall not come, except [unless] there come a [the] falling away [apostasy] first, and that man of sin [satan] be revealed, the son of perdition;
[The falling away is people believing in something that is contrary to the word of Yahveh. When satan appears people who do not know Yahveh’s word will believe satan is Jesus Christ [Yahshua] and turn away from Him and worship satan.]
[The son of perdition is satan. The word perdition is translated back to the Greek language in Strong’s concordance, it is number 684 and 622, and means to perish. satan is the only one of Yahveh’s [God’s] sons sentenced to eternal death. You can document this in Ezekiel 28:18.]
[Paul has just told us that satan must be revealed before we gather back to Jesus Christ.]
[The following verse tells us what satan is going to be doing here on earth after he is revealed.]
4 Who opposeth [is an adversary to] and exalteth [lifts] himself above all that is called God, [Yahveh] or that is worshipped; [an object of worship] so that he [satan] as God [calling himself Yahveh and claiming to be Yahveh/ Jesus Christ] sitteth [sits] in the temple of God, [in Jerusalem] shewing [showing] himself that he is God [Yahveh].
[satan will be showing the world that he is Yahveh/Jesus Christ. He will be sitting on the north side of the temple on Mt Zion, and he will claim to be Yahveh and he is going to deceive most all people of the world into believing he is Yahveh.]
[The texts omit “as God”.]
[You should be able to understand by now that there is no such thing as rapture.]
[Let’s return to St. Mark 13:21.]
[Jesus Christ continues speaking.]
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
[In other words when satan appears do not be deceived by any man or woman or church system into believing Jesus Christ [Yahshua] has returned.]
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew [show] signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
[satan is a false Christ and he will show signs and wonders causing most people of the world to be deceived into believing he is Jesus Christ.]
23 But take ye [you] heed: [pay attention] behold, I have foretold you all things.
[Jesus Christ told them all things and He did not say anything about a rapture.]
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, [after the tribulation of satan and the false prophets] the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
[The sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light because the brightness of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ [Yahshua] will overshadow the sun and the moon.]
25 And the stars of [the] heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26 And then [after the tribulation of satan and the false prophets] shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And then shall he [Jesus Christ] send His angels, and shall gather together His elect from [out of] the four winds, [four winds by implication means from the four corners of the earth] from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
[Yahveh’s elect are people [souls] that have put Him first in their lives by doing His will. His will is that you learn and be a sincere doer of His word. People [souls] that believed in the rapture doctrine and are deceived into believing satan is Yahveh/Jesus Christ are not His elect.]
[Because of the previous verses you should be able to understand that there is no rapture.]
28 Now learn a [the] parable of [from] the fig tree; [the fig tree is symbolic of Israel] when her branch is yet tender, [yet tender meaning when she was planted, when she became a nation] and putteth [puts] forth leaves, ye [you] know [get to know] that summer is near:
[Summer is harvest time. It is the time Jesus Christ will come to harvest His people on the earth.]
[Israel was planted and became a nation in 1948. Some people believe Israel became a nation in 1967 during the six day war. Israel became a nation when the offspring of Judah; the king line of the tribes of Israel returned to Jerusalem.]
29 So ye [you] in like manner, [after you learn the parable] when ye [you] shall see these things come to pass, [the things written in this chapter] know that it [harvest time] is nigh, [near] even at the doors.
[In other words when you see these things written of in St. Mark chapter thirteen taking place Jesus Christ is close to coming back to harvest His people on earth.]
30 Verily [truly] I say unto you, that this generation [the generation of the fig tree, this
generation, the generation of 1948 or 1967] shall not pass, till all these things be done.
[There are three generations within this generation, a forty, a seventy and a one hundred and twenty year generation. This tells us that our Lord Jesus Christ will return sometime between now and 2068. If Israel became a nation as some say in 1967 our Lord Jesus Christ will return sometime before the end of 2087.]
[In Jeremiah chapter 24 Yahveh tells us about the good figs [Israel] and the bad figs. The good figs are the offspring of Adam and Eve. The bad figs are the offspring of Eve and satan. In verses six and seven Yahveh tells us that He will plant Israel and that He will be their God and they shall return to Him with there whole heart. They were planted as a nation in 1948 or 1967 but they have not returned to Him yet. They will return to Him after He returns to earth during the millennium.]
[The Lord’s day is what we call the millennium. The millennium is a one thousand year period of time between when Jesus Christ appears on earth and when satan will be turned loose for a short season to deceive whomsoever he will just before The Great White Throne Judgment. During that period of time people [souls] that failed to become sincere doers of Yahveh’s word while in their flesh bodies will be taught discipline in His word.]
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: [This earth age will pass away. Jesus Christ is returning here, and the Kingdom of Yahveh [God] will be on earth.] but My words shall not pass away.
[In other words this word; Yahveh’s word; is going to be with us forever.]
32 But of [concerning] that day and that hour knoweth [knows] no man, no, not [even] the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
[Nobody knows the year or the hour when Jesus Christ [Yahshua] will return but because of the parable of the fig tree we know that He will return sometime before the end of 2068 or 2087. Only our Lord Jesus Christ [Yahshua] knows the instant He will return to earth.]
33 Take ye [you] heed, [you be careful] watch and pray: for ye [you] know not when the time is.
[You know it will be in summer, and you know in what generation, but you do not know the exact time.]
34 For the Son of man [Jesus Christ (Yahshua) is the son of man] is as a man taking a far journey, [in other words as a man going on a long trip away from his family] who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, [in other words He gave His servants authority to teach His word and work for Him] and commanded the porter [the watcher, gate watcher] to watch.
[So you watch what is going on in this world and compare it to what is written in Yahveh’s word, do not fall asleep on watch.]
35 Watch ye [you] therefore: for ye [you] know not when the master [Lord] of the house [Jesus Christ] cometh, [is returning] at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
[In other words nobody knows the exact time that Jesus Christ [Yahshua] will return to earth so keep your eyes open.]
36 Lest coming suddenly He [Jesus Christ] find you sleeping.
[Do not fall asleep on watch.]
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
[In other words keep your eyes open to what is going on in this world.]
[Yahveh knew over five hundred years before Jesus Christ was born that people would be teaching the fly away [rapture] doctrine. He tells us what He thinks about the fly away [rapture] doctrine in the great book of Ezekiel. Let’s go to Ezekiel 13:16 and see what Yahveh has to say about such a thing. This is prophecy.]
Ezekiel 13:16
16 To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD. [Yahveh]
17 Likewise, thou [you] son of man, set thy [your] face against the daughters of thy [your] people, [in other words set you face against the false prophets who say Yahveh told them this or that] which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou [you prophesy] against them,
[In other words teach against them.]
[Keep in mind that Margaret McDonald started the rapture fly away doctrine in 1830.]
18 And say, Thus saith [says] the Lord GOD; [Yahveh] Woe [grief] to the women [all Israel and so called Christians] that sew pillows [sew coverings to conceal] to all armholes, [every joint] [that sew and fabricate false prophecy that cover the saving hands of Yahveh] and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature [height] to hunt [ensnare] souls! [are you saved] Will ye [you] hunt the souls of my people, and will ye [you] save the souls alive that come unto you?
[They like to say are you saved, are you saved.]
[Actually in the Hebrew manuscripts Yahveh says you sew coverings to hide every joint of my out reaching hands from my children and promise a different way of salvation.]
[Height put for every man of high or lofty station.]
19 And will ye [you] pollute Me [Yahveh] among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, [in other words will you teach for money] to slay the souls that should not die, [souls that should not die a spiritual death are people truly trying to do what is right according to Yahveh] and to save the souls alive that should not live, [souls that should not spiritually live are biblically illiterate people that do not read and understand Yahveh’s word] by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
[Yahveh does not like liars. The rapture doctrine is a lie and Yahveh does not like it one bit.]
20 Wherefore thus saith [says] the Lord GOD; [Yahveh] Behold, I am against your pillows, [your concealment of truth] wherewith ye [you] there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, [you are not going to rapture anybody away anywhere] and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye [you] hunt to make them fly [escape].
21 Your kerchiefs [little coverings; coverings of truth such as telling people they do not need to know Yahveh’s word] also will I tear, and deliver My people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye [you] shall know that I am the LORD [Yahveh].
[Our Lord Jesus Christ [Yahshua] is not going to be happy with people who have been teaching the fly away rapture doctrine when He returns. They will be in big trouble.)
22 Because with lies [lies of the rapture doctrine started in 1830] ye [you] have made the heart [mind] of the righteous [a righteous one] sad, [it is sad when you see people who will be deceived into following satan] whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, [of satan by helping him] that he [or she] should not return from his [or her] wicked [wrong] way, [of following false doctrine] by promising him [or her] life:
[By saying just be saved, and saying you do not have to understand the book of Revelation; just believe what I tell you; you are going to be raptured out of here before the tribulation of satan.]
23 Therefore ye [you] shall see no more vanity, [empty lies] nor divine divinations: [men and women lying about religion and salvation] for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye [you] shall know that I am the LORD [Yahveh].
[Yahveh/Jesus Christ is the LORD.]
[During the millennium they will teach no more, and they will know that Jesus Christ [Yahshua] is Lord of lords and King of kings and they will be sorry for having taught false doctrine.]
[On the first day of the Lord’s day [the millennium age] every knee will bow to our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is coming here. We are not going anywhere. We are supposed to be here working for Jesus Christ when He returns. Do not be deceived into believing our Lord Jesus Christ has returned when satan the anti [instead of] Christ comes to earth at the sixth trump. Jesus Christ will return to earth at the seventh trump five months after satan appears on earth. Do not believe in the rapture doctrine because you will be deceived into believing satan is Jesus Christ if satan appears on earth before your flesh body dies. You will think satan is Jesus Christ who came to rapture you out of here and you will be deceived. Put Jesus Christ first in your life by learning and being a sincere doer of His word. He had His word written for you. Do not believe anyone that tells you that you do not need to know what is written in Yahveh’s Bible. To be deceived into believing satan is Jesus Christ is a big sin. You will not be raised up in the first resurrection IF you are deceived into believing satan is Jesus Christ, and you will most likely have no blessings and rewards in heaven.]
[Beware of the rapture doctrine and people that teach such nonsense!]
Amen
[Amen meaning that is that, that is the truth.]
