Hello scattered family and friends in Messiah! This is outside of my normal topic posts. I am posting because of the days we are living in. Many who expect a pre-trib rapture have the potential to be devastated and potentially fall away under extreme duress due to placing their faith in a false teaching. Let no one deceive you in any way, for the Day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the one destined to be destroyed. He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits in the Temple of God, proclaiming himself that he is God. 2 Thess 2:3-4 TLV Yeshua clearly taught Post-Tribulation in Matthew 24:29-31 (& Mark 13:24-27). “Immediately *after the Tribulation of those days* …. He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other”(Mark 13:27). Yeshua said it clearly! The trumpet (why the Feast of Trumpets is so important and prophetic) will sound and the elect will be gathered immediately AFTER the **tribulation. **
Yeshua is not addressing “the Jews” here as pre-tribbers propose, but, is privately addressing His inner circle of closest disciples (Peter, James, John & Andrew) in this discourse (see Mark 13:3), to whom He had already announced the conception of the Church (Matt 16:18, 18:17). If the Church was to escape the tribulation, Yeshua would certainly have told these men who would be leading the early Church. Instead, He taught them to expect persecution or martyrdom, and to await their promised deliverance after those days. He would not have taught this here and then later revealed to Paul that the Church would be exempted.

Words of Wisdom: Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the days to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom— a lesson of kindness is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and bless her, her husband also praises her Proverbs 31: 25-28 TLV Well hello again friends and readers! Not going to try and cover it up at all...this week has been so crazy busy ---time seems to be running away from me. I haven't even been able to start the work for my 2nd week of Pathophysiology this wk....which is a bummer. All of that to say I am late with this blog post. But better late than never, right? Eh, I'm going to say that to make myself feel a wee bit more responsible. LOL Anyhow, this is not going to be doom and gloom because that's not my style. But I am logical, detail oriented, and a planner...All believers that belong to Messiah should well know by this point that time is short. We do not know the "day or hour" but we can see the signs of the times loud and clear. I want to use this platform at this point in time to implore you to get your house in order both spiritually, and physically. That will look a little differently for each person/family depending on several factors, lifestyle, location etc. But some simple tips. 1) Come out from among them: the world and "roman-rooted western" deception and walk in obedience to His Torah/law, keeping His feasts, Shabbat and guarding His ways 2) Homeschool your children if at all possible...
-> (The Narrow Way Torah Observant Fellowship) 4) Do what you need to do to gradually become more self sufficient. Learn how to garden (Our church fellowship is starting a small garden to learn, just that, this year) followed by canning, and eventually prayerfully a small homestead 5) Have a first aid kit, extra food and water, extra medications if you have a need for regular medicine 6) Whatever the world is focussed on (sports, movies, political drama)-- you should not be. There is always a diversion. ALWAYS. Right here is where your focus and attention should live and breathe-->focusing on Yeshua, the initiator and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame; and He has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God.HEB 12:2 Our Western churches follow "another gospel" not the one delivered to us by Yeshua Messiah and sadly many of them have become social clubs. Very little discipleship is occurring overall.... You can judge this quite simply by looking at the number of people who claim to follow Messiah and compare it to the values our society is embracing, the rate of divorce and fatherless households, cohabitation, etc. We have an urgent need for authentic DISCIPLESHIP. The western church loves the idea of "mental agreement" with scripture with no accountability and no FRUIT. Thus the western church is aiming to blend in and not upset the dynamics of the culture. Where as we are told to be SET APART, and COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM. We should be leading not blending in or following. I am passionate about this topic because I love Messiah and I am passionate about the growth of His people. IF you belong to Messiah YOU WILL PRODUCE FRUIT OF OBEDIENCE. "If you love Me, you will obey My commandments"- John 14:15 The time of coddling needs to stop. Stand up & take your position in the body and march to the beat of His commands. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the worldly forces of this darkness and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist when the times are evil, and after you have done everything to sand firm. Stand firm then!" Ephes. 6:12-14 TLV Ezekiel 36:26-27 Moreover I will give you a new heart. I will put a new spirit within you. I will remove the stony heart from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Ruach (Spirit) within you. >>>>then I will cause you to walk in My laws, so you will KEEP My rulings and DO them. <<<<<
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He trims so that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I will abide in you. The branch cannot itself produce fruit, unless it abides on the vine. Likewise, you cannot produce fruit unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for apart from Me, you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away like a branch and is dried up. Such branches are picked up and thrown into the fire and burned. “If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciples.” “Just as the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you. Abide in My love! If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.- John 15:1-10 TLV additonal resources 3 seperate links to discuss Home fellowship:1) Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 - Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 Biblical Feast Days 2) Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 - Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 Understanding the 1st & 2nd Covenant 3) Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 - Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 For more information on the 2nd / New Covenant in action in the life of the believer please click FAITH & WORKS ...:: Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 - Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 HalleluYah!
