The Coming Day of Christ/ Messiah for His body the Church (i.e., the Rapture) just before the great and dreadful Day of the Lord is truly at hand! Many current events and signs throughout the world are strongly pointing to that reality today. Never before in the 6000-year history of mankind has such great global turmoil and calamities plagued mankind's consciousness. The spirit of the nations today is crumbling and human optimism is absolutely unable to support the EXPONENTIAL weight of REALITY of the certain unknown doom that awaits this world and the pending horrors that stand at the very door (Rev. 6-19).
Almighty God's Two Jewish Witnesses Are At Hand!
Just after the Rapture of the church takes place (which the so called "christian" scoffers and haters of the Grace of God totally reject), there will be a massive void of LIGHT and TRUTH here on earth, (i.e., there will not be one true believer left on earth at that time). However, there will be left billions of unregenerate (unbelieving) human beings in great darkness along with millions of individuals "possessing" a godless form of Christianity (Matt 7:21-23). This final form of apostate Christianity (i.e., "Christendom") is referred to as the “Mustard Tree” and “Leavened Loaf” (Matthew 13:31-33). These "Christian" apostates who are left in this spiritual darkened world will present a FALSE perception and deception of Almighty God to a lost and darkened world; clouding and deceiving the turbulent world even more with their delusional teachings and assessments of the hour. The world at this time will be absolutely void of TRUTH, REALITY and LIGHT but Almighty God is NEVER without two witnesses in a world highjacked by Satan (2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph. 2:1-2) and will send two BURNING torches (as it were) to proclaim, "REPENT!! For the Day of the Lord is at hand!
At this time there will be billions of unregenerate (unbelieving) human beings in great darkness along with millions "possessing" a godless form of Christianity left behind.
At the very moment in which the Body of Christ is caught up to meet Christ in the air (see 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 1 Cor. 15:51-53; 1 John 3:2-3), Almighty God will send down his Two Witnesses from Heaven, His Two Mighty Candlesticks. These Two Candlesticks will dominate and burn exceedingly bright through out the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation period (Rev. 11:3-6). These Two Heavenly Agents - with great power and Divine authority - will mightily rebuke the post "Christian" Church age/ post Age of Grace world for their gross transgressions against Almighty God. These Two will preach repentance unto all (Apostate Christianity, Islam, Buddhist, Secularists, Atheists, Hindu's etc..), but most specifically to the house of Israel; to bring this nation to full repentance and prepare them for their Messiah's return (Zech. 12:8-14, 13:1-3, Mal. 4:4-6, Rev. 19:11-21). These Two individuals will proclaim the Glorious Gospel of the resurrection of Jesus Messiah throughout Israel and the world (John 1:29, 3:16-17, Acts 2: 17-47, Rev. 11:3-12). They will establish the temple sacrifice and priesthood (Dan. 9:27) and prepare Israel for their King's glorious return and His Kingdom reign (Isa. 11, Ezek 40-48, Zech. 14, Matt 24:29-30). These Two will - with super natural power - shelter Israel from the seven Seal Judgments, the first five Trumpet Judgments and the Gog's confederate invasion during these first 3 1/2 years (Ezek. 38-39, Rev. 6-9, 11:4-6). These will call down fire from heaven upon their enemy nations, turn the world's waters into blood, cause dire droughts and destroy any that seek to devour them (Ezek 38-39, Rev. 11:3-6). These two will be absolutely invincible and unstoppable during their 1260 day ministry and with their words and works will absolutely terrorize and torment the godless Gentile world and the majority of unbelieving Jews (Rev. 11:10).
God will send down his Two Witnesses from Heaven, His Two Mighty Candlesticks. These Two Candlesticks will burn brilliantly in this darkened, post Church/ post Age of Grace world to share the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Messiah.
Almighty God is NEVER without a human witness upon His earth. There has been much debate about the identity of these Two Witnesses. The Bible clearly indicates that they will be Elijah (see Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:10-13) and Moses (see Malachi 4:2; Luke 9:29-30; Matthew 17:1-3), two great patriarchs and torches of light from Israel’s past sent to a presently unbelieving Israel. Under their leadership and powerful preaching, a small remnant (which will include 144,000 Jewish men) will be saved (see Rev. 7:3-8). These 144,000 saved Jews shall then be sent (Dan. 12:3, Matt 24:14) into all the world during this time of Great Tribulation, preaching the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ (i.e.,the Messiah) before His eminent Second Coming. Multitudes of Gentiles will come to a saving knowledge of the Messiah of Israel through their ministry (see Rev. 7:9-17). At the climax of His return (Rev. 19:11-16), Christ-Messiah will establish His Millennial Kingdom in Israel (Rev. 20:6).
As was stated prior, in the first 3 1/2 years of a 7-year duration called the Tribulation Period, certain events will transpire and affect the whole world (see Luke 21:35, Rev. 6-9)! Satan and the world at this time will seek to destroy these Two Witnesses via the media, national governments, assassination attempts, etc., all to no avail until the allotted time (Rev. 11:3-7). They will MIGHTILY PREACH Almighty God's Word and it will absolutely torment all those who outright reject it (John 3:19-21). We can see just a glimpse here today the unifying global hatred for biblical TRUTH and REALITY.Can you imagine what the world will do when the Word of TRUTH is preached and none can stop it? It will indeed torment the world's very godless souls.
Jesus said, "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God" (John 3:19-21).
How real and how true is this! People run for the hills, change the subject, run for cover, hide their children, tremble and shake whenever the TRUE Gospel message of Jesus Christ is declared.
.
When this seven year tribulation begins, there will be GREAT wars, GREAT famine, GREAT pestilence and GREAT death throughout the world (Rev. 6-9). About 1/2 of mankind will perish alone during this time (first 3 1/2 years)! It is during these global catastrophic and calamitous events that the world will NOT look to Almighty God and His Two Witnesses for ETERNAL aid but to a EXPONENTIALLY godless man to give them the delusional answers, stability and hope that they so desperately crave and need (2 Tim. 4:3, 2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 13). Since they have rejected the TRUE Gospel message and the love of the truth of salvation from their true Creator (see 2 Thess. 2:10-12), the Beast (Anti-Christ) will step into the vacuum/ void and rise to receive god-like status and devotion from the world. It is during his political apex that a crucial event transpire in which he will receive a deadly wound to his head (Rev. 13:3, 14; 17:8, 11). This event will have a traumatic effect on the godless world population - 3 billion people or so that are left - at this time. Their great leader and human savior, their one and only hope for world peace, is dead. The utopian dream is now gone; Global Camelot is dead! Great mourning and glowing memorials all around the world will be taking place. As the world inhabitants mope and cannot cope with their misery, godless emotions will run amok. In their rage and emotional turmoil they will seek a scapegoat on which to vent their frustrations. This scapegoat will be the Nation of Israel and believers in the Messiah of Israel (see Zech. 14:1-2; Matt. 24:9; Mark 13:11-13).
.
The world's mourning will turn into great joy at the resuscitation of this man. 'He's Alive!,' will be their cry. 'Our great leader and humanity's savior is alive!'
.
It is during this time of great despair and godless anguish that the “deadly wound” of this man will be miraculously healed (Rev. 13:3)! The world's mourning will turn into great joy at the resuscitation of this man. “He's Alive!,” will be their cry. “Our great leader and savior is alive!” At this key moment he will absolutely solidify his global allegiance and power base (Rev. 17:11-12, 17). His first act of authority is to destroy Almighty God's two witnesses (Rev. 11:7-8), which bare witness to the Saving Grace of Almighty God. For three and a half years these two witnesses have been unmovable and unstoppable. They have tormented the ungodly world with their message from Heaven: “Repent and be saved!,” and “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!” (John 3:18-19; Rev. 11:10). After the execution of God's Two Witnesses, their bodies are left in the streets of Jerusalem to rot and for all to see. The world will greatly rejoice at the barbaric murder of these two men! The Two Witnesses of Almighty God have finally been destroyed! The godless world will have a "Christless Christmas" celebration and send gifts to one another (Rev. 11:7-10). This execution of God's two messengers will temporarily enhance the power and authority of the Beast (Anti-Christ)! The global chant will be: "Who can make war with our great leader?” (Rev. 13:4, 8). It will be a time of great rejoicing for the godless inhabitants of the earth! Such rejoicing, however, will be very short-lived.
.
The world will greatly rejoice at the barbaric murder of these two men! The Two Witnesses of Almighty God have finally been destroyed! The godless world will have a 'Christless Christmas' celebration and send gifts to one another.
"Three and a half days later after this brutal murder in the midst of this “Global Mardi-Gras” Festival, Almighty God's two powerful witnesses are resuscitated in the sight of all the world and ascend up into Heaven right before their wicked eyes. This very sobering event will send great horror and fear into the hearts of all the world, but they will still not repent and be saved." (Rev. 11:11, 12).
With his mighty enemies eliminated and the absolute devotion of the world secured, the ultimate power-grab and godless coup of all time and eternity takes place. This is called The Abomination of Desolation (Matt. 24:15; Mark 13:14-15; 2 Thess. 2:3-5; Rev. 13:4)! This is when all Hell literally breaks loose! It will make the recent destruction of Haiti look like a Sunday School picnic. Woe unto those who are alive at this time! Woe indeed!
My friend, God loves us and sent his Son Jesus Messiah/Christ to be our Savior, and to save us from the wrath which is to come on the ungodly. You don't have to hide from Him. He is there to receive you as you receive Him, and to love you and deliver you from the judgment and consequences of sin. The Day of the Lord is at hand! Will you be ready?
Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? If not, trust Him today! Quit hiding in fearfulness and receive Him today. Only Christ can TRULY CHANGE your life for the better. If you will but allow Him to do so, you can never be the same again - nor will you want to! He says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Rev. 3:20).
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

I'm sorry, but that is just wrong. The teachings of the rapture are non-biblical and were never spoken of before the 1800s when a Scottish pastor came up with the idea.
So, 1. These are non-biblical
2. These were never even raised historically so traditionally the idea of the rapture is wrong and
3. They're just wrong when you read scripture.
The Rapture is a fantasy
Well my dear friend.. when it does happen you will know where to come for your information for the next 7 years. sorry you do not see it.
The kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
It is worth noting that the one who claims the rapture is a fantasy will not leave his/her name, but prefers "Anonymous." I thought John in Revelation said that some would be transformed in the twinkling of an eye and some would rise up to meet Jesus in the clouds?
So if you don't believe in the rapture, pre, mid or post, or aren't sure, you're going to say the person isn't saved?
WOW. That's so legalistic it sizzles. I don't know what Jehovah and Yeshua know. I do know the rapture is a modern interpretation of scripture and one thing that I know fo sho...is that YOU DON'T KNOW.
My candle is in the window. Rapture or no rapture, my family is prepared to live for the CHRIST come what may.
I don't care about YOUR INTERPRETATION. Anonymous didn't say Jesus was a fantasy, he said the rapture. That is a big difference.
Thanks for the message. Indeed the Lord is coming soooooon to take his bride(the Church). The scoffers who make fun, who think rapture is a imaginery thing or so on, they will surely be destroyed. THE MESSIAH IS COMING FOR THE CHURCH AND WE WHO ARE CAUGHT UP WILL BE WITH HIM FOR THE MARRIAGE SUPPER. I WISH AND HOPE ALL OUR FAMILY MEMBERS WILL BE WITH HIM IN THE MARRIAGE SUPPER AND REIGN WITH OUR BRIDEGROOM OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. I LOVE YOU JESUS MY LOVING SAVIOUR. COME LORD JESUS. AMEN (REV 22:21)
Hi Ignorant fisher man. What an odd name!
If you are interrested to see what the Almighty is doing right now in South Afica - See this website: www.witnessesforjesuschrist.co.za.
This really is awesome things that YHWH is doing in the earth.
In conclusion YHWH said to His prophet Habbakuk: 1 "Look around you, replied the Lord, among the nations and see! And be astonished! Astounded! For I am putting into effect a work in your days such that you would not believe it if it were told you.
Love in Yahshua the True Messiah
You have a great blog but to promote a fabricated tale of an unbiblical pre-tribulation rapture spoils it. Every single scripture reference of the catching away of Christ's saints/church/elect refers to "after the tribulation of those days." There is not one scripture that shows a pre-tribulation catching away of a "secret", "surprise" rapture. The pre-tribulation rapture theory is all based upon assumption and conjecture, and man-made opinions and can be compared to building your house on sand. Jesus nor Peter, nor Paul, nor John, nor James ever taught such a thing in all of the NT, nor did the OT prophets. They all spoke of a catching away of the saints at the end of the tribulation and emphasized to wait for the coming of the Lord.
All of the scriptures that the false teachers have taken out of context and hijacked to promote a false pre-tribulation catching away of Christ's church are indeed used in scripture that points to a highly visible coming of the Lord for his saints at the end of the tribulation period, and not seven years before. Scripture inteprets itself without adding to and taking away as these false pre-tribulation teachers promote.
Jesus did not give his people an option for a "pre-mid-post trib" "rapture", and only one can be correct, which is "after the tribulation of those days" in Matthew 24:29-31
having pastors in my familys history and searched countless sites, i would if chosen death for i and continued life for I.F., on this soon to be changed world i would step forth rightly. for his place, site, truly the Jesus Christ i know not by just faith but fact is worthy above all. it is well prepared, discerned and allways consistant to the WORD OF GOD..PERIOD.......im in sorrow that the so called educated rely on words and not power of Christ and the Word of God combined.
It doesn't matter what the scoffers say. They have existed in every generation. Prophecy WILL be fulfilled exactly how and when G*d says so. Anyone who doesn't believe in the even popularly (not in Scripture) known as the Rapture, has ignored the Jewishness of our faith.
Toni... Thanks for the complements... but you miss it my friend! The Rapture...is a sound Biblical fact that you do not want to believe in... when the Trumpet blows... then you will know!!

My Dear friend (Phillip), because it is a scripturally sound doctrine. You have taken those verses out of context. No offence…
The first verse is for the Rapture. The “We” is the Church/Paul etc..
The second is the re-gathering of Israel after Christ’s return to earth,
See Bible study

Thanks for your reply!

Phillip,
Because the Tribulation deals with Israel (God’s people) only. Almighty God will be switching dispensations; from the Age of Grace to the Age of Wrath. The Church is is the Age of Grace.
God pulls out His ambassadors and sends down His Two Witnesses (Rev 11).
They are two different dispensations. That is how you need to see it. Check out this link!

{THE CHURCH Belonging to Jesus Christ}.......... Wait,... Wait,... Wait,...,. AAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDD.............GONE!. Always amazes me that people argue about interpretation of scripture. I was asked by a women 20 years ago to come and discuss the word. She began to argue. i stopped, closed my bible, and said im not going to argue about it, she became calm and my words to her was to ask the Holy Spirt to open her eyes to the [LIVING] word. Now not long after that i moved 2 states away...Months passed and i came down to pick up a car i had left. Stayed for only a couple of hours and guess who called to thank me ie-[JESUS in me] as she now sees [Spiritually]. PERFECT TIMING is that of the Lord, God Jesus Christ and the word of God Through his Holy Spirit. The church that Jesus is coming for is a body, are you a cell of that body or a tumor. Better wake up and Repent, Submit, And live HOT, not lukewarm or cold for Jesus ...It is ALL about Jesus and not at all about us at all I ..Whoops i am nothing But I do Belong To Jesus. i cannot even Quote more than a few verses, but a know some and read much more. Jesus did not make all of us expert interperters but asks only to do what [his plan] is for [you]. .......I will say any site that posts untruth if led, i will exort. I cannot stand know it alls and slander. That does NOTHING to bring forth the Gospel Of Jesus Christ. You would be wise to listen to this site......

The scripture tells us in Mal.4:5" I will send you Elijah the Prophet..." so, we know that, there is no scripture that suggests Moses is the second one.Heb. 9:27 "it is appointed unto men to die once" Moses was already dead even though God preserved his body, Enoch, the 5th from Adam was taken by God without death because he walked with God.Enoch did not write any of the books in the Bible, in the book of Jude he prophesied saying" The Lord cometh with thousands of his saints. Wait a minute, which saints, the raptured believers. Who is he talking to, the left behinds. I believe it is Elijah and Enoch. The two witnesses will eventually die and raptured. These two are the lampstand and olive tree standing befoe the Almighty as per Rev 11:3-4
TL-80
My friend, I have heard of that position but disagree with it. True God gave Enoch a glimpse into what would be but he has no affiliation with Israel and he lived in the pre flood world. Moses and Elijah dealt with Israel’s rebellion and unbelief and they are Jews. These two witnesses will preach repentance and prepare Israel and the world for Messiah’s return and 1000 year reign, reestablish the sacrifice and offerings (Moses Ex 23-40) which will point back to the Person and work of Messiah and protect Israel from the world’s hatred and hostility for 3/12 years (Rev. 11:4-7).
Later the anti Christ will propane and desolate the sanctuary which God has reinstituted by Moses and murder them (Dan. 9:27,12:11, Matt 24:15, 2 Thess 2:4, Rev. 11:1-2). They also who are dead will be… resuscitated or raised from the dead and will ascend into heaven. It is very Jewish. The key to understanding Scripture is to think like a Jew my friend.
After the Rapture it will be a whole new dispensation and signs and wonder dominate this 7 year tribulation. We have to think Jewish to understand the day of the Lord and the kingdom age (Ezek 40-48, Zech 14 etc.)
The Lord Jesus, Lazarus, the man who Paul raised who fell of the balcony, Elijah’s widow’s son, the ruler of the synagogue’s young daughter etc all died but were resuscitated and brought back to life so there are exceptions to the rule. Even the two witnesses and the anti Christ will come back from the dead as the Bible teaches.
Moses and Elijah were with Jesus on the mount of transfiguration.
The plagues and signs which they (the two witnesses will perform are identical to those that Moses and Elijah. And finally when you take Malachi 4 in context it talks about “the day” when Christ will purge the earth from all unsaved after His return. God’s final word to Israel for almost four hundred years is Remember Moses and Elijah. God knew that Israel would reject the kingdom offer by the Messiah and murder their King and Savior (Dan. 9:26) thus the church age for 2000 years, the rapture and then the day of the Lord.
Thanks for your reply sorry for the long rant but just wanted to clarify my position on this.
God speed my brother!
Dave
There will be a great falling away when the two start their witness. When nablis and the other cities disappear and they begin the persecution of the paganized fallen church who has traded her righteousness for the filth from a harlot on 7 hills. Many will say why am I here and not taken. Im not saved and will fall away. Satan will shift them like chafe. Leaders from the fallen church will be consumed by Gods Holy fire for offering strange fire in Jerusalem. Preachers will tell the church that the two are the anti christ and false prophet. For they preach Gods law is valid and His word is true. Which is in contrast to the grace allows you to continue to sin garbage taught in the fallen church.
Then the two.will redeem the land of th their brothers in accordance with the Torah. And start the sacrifices on the temple mount. Preachers will preach it is the antichrist and false prophet building their temple. They will join with the world to.come and save Jerusalem and their pagan churches from the cleansing taken place. They will rejoice having believed they killed the antichrist and false prophet . But they will soon see It is Yeshua they are in opposition to and He will call up His elect and kill those in opposition then He will redeem the entire earth. A small remnant will remain of the population of the earth.
Yeshua will rule them for 1000 years with His.elect teaching the remnant across the land. The filth of the harlot will be no more and those left will hear the gospel of Yeshua as He meant it.
