Jacob’s trouble (or the great tribulation).

 

Is the great tribulation spoken about in the Scriptures, just around the corner? Daily news reports are filled with accounts of natural disasters like drought, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanoes and famine. The world scene is filled with accounts of murder, rape, kidnapping and other tragedies too sick to mention. Some people insist that we are living on the verge of a New World Order, whilst others warn that we are about to self-destruct. Because people are eager to know what would befall us next, they consult so-called mediums or sooth-Sayers and listen to anyone who claims to foresee the future, except for looking for answers in the Scriptures, since most came to realize that their old believe systems were based on falsehood.

Very few are aware that YHVH told Moses in Deuteronomy 18: 18 – 19, saying: ‘I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. (19) And it shall come about that whoever will not listen to My words which he shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him.’ YHVH Himself confirmed the identity of this prophet to whom we should listen, when Yahshua was transfigured before His disciples Kepha, Yaa’cov and Yochanan in Mark 9: 2 – 7, as follows: ‘And six days later, Yahshua took with Him Kepha and Yaa’cov and Yochanan, and brought them up to a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them; (3) and His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them. (4) And Elijah appeared to them along with Moses; and they were talking with Yahshua. (5) And Kepha answered and said to Yahshua, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (6) For he did not know what to answer; for they became terrified. (7) Then a cloud formed, over shadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!”  In addition to YHVH telling us to listen to Yahshua here, Yahshua confirmed the authority of the Father in whatever He says and does to the religious leaders in John 12: 44 – 50, saying: “He who believes in Me does not believe in Me, but in Him who sent Me. (45) And he who beholds Me beholds the One who sent Me. (46) I have come as light into the world, that everyone who believes in Me may not remain in darkness. (47) And if anyone hears My sayings, and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. (48) He who rejects Me, and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word that I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. (49) For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me commandment, what to say, and what to speak. (50) And I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.” Yahshua the Messiah was the greatest prophet who ever lived. Yahshua gave His disciples a detailed description how the end of this age will come about in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. But He also showed the author of the fourth Gospel, namely Yochanan in detail how the end of this age will unfold in the book of Revelation.

Yahshua’s disciples, beholding the temple building because of His remark that the temple building will be torn down in what was then still  future, came to Him privately in Matthew 24: 3, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Yahshua answered them in verse 4, saying: “See to it that no one misleads you.”  The problem is that most of us, especially from the lost ten tribes have been deceived for almost 2,000 years by the counterfeit religion that Satan and his agents started soon after Messiah’s death, resurrection and ascension to heaven, as Rav Shaul also wrote in 2 Timothy 3: 13, saying: ‘But evil men and imposters will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.”  Satan and his agents, including some like-minded believers proclaim false doctrines, a different message, and even doctrines of demons have been introduced to many believers in books, videos, music, webpages and groups who even claim the use of Elohim’s Set-apart name. We read about those who consult mediums and spiritists in Isaiah 8: 19 & 20, in this way: ‘And when they say to you, “Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should not a people consult their Elohim? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? (20) To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn.’ Rav Yochanan also wrote about this in first John 4: 1, saying: ‘Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from Elohim; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.’

It is vitally important for those of us called out of the religions of the world, to separate ourselves from the false belief system of the world, as we are warned by Yochanan that which Yahshua showed him in Revelation 18: 1 – 8, as follows: ‘After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illumined with his glory. (2) And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! And she has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird. (3) “For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality.” (4) And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you may not participate in her sins and that you may not receive of her plagues; (5) for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and Elohim has remembered her iniquities. (6)”Pay her back even as she has paid, and give back to her double according to her deeds; in the cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her. (7) To the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘I SIT AS A QUEEN AND I AM NOT A WIDOW, and will never see mourning.’ (8) “For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for YHVH Elohim who judges her is strong.”    

This angel will be given great authority by Almighty YHVH to announce the fall of ‘BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH’ (in Revelation 17), which is a system of the beast (or Satan). This angel also gives the reasons for her destruction, in Revelation 17: 2 and Jeremiah 51: 7, in this way: ‘with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality.” Mystery Babylon has declared herself the Mother of religion, and she who has murdered true believers will receive a double portion from her own cup. In order for those of us called by Elohim to proclaim the full Messianic Message. We need to tell the world about the soon coming kingdom of Elohim, instead of the false gospel Churchianity has been proclaiming for years, namely that J*s*u*s* C*h*r*i*s*t* came to earth to Christianize the world including the Jews, and those who are ‘saved’ by believing in this false Messiah will go directly to heaven at death. This false gospel is keeping the bride (of true believers in Yahshua) from the Groom, Yahshua our Messiah, who is personally coming to rule the world with His bride made up of Torah observant Jews and truly converted members of the lost ten tribes who believe in both Torah and the testimony of Yahshua. Yahshua explained this in Matthew 24: 9 – 14, saying: “Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of My name. (10) And at that time many will fall away and will deliver up one another and hate one another. (11) And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many. (12) And because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.  (13) But the one who endures to the end, he shall be saved. (14) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.”

Even though many have since the last century proclaimed the true gospel about the coming kingdom of Elohim, very few understood that the kingdom of Elohim will really be the reestablishment of King David’s rulership over both the house of Israel and the house of Judah with its headquarters in Jerusalem. For years people from the Churches of G-d, the Assemblies of YHVH and even some Nazarene/Messianic Israelite and like-minded believers, preached a reestablished kingdom of Elohim with converted returnees from the house of Israel ruling under Messiah for a thousand years, without understanding that there cannot be a kingdom of Elohim over the united Israel, without the house of Judah also being part of it. People simply did not understand that Yahshua our Messiah’s main purpose was (and still is) to bring the lost sheep of the house of Israel back to the Father, but also to Brother Judah to eventually reestablish the commonwealth of Israel, ruled over by King David. The Church of G-d never taught that Torah observant Jews need not be immersed to receive the Set-apart Spirit, like we from the lost ten tribes have to be immersed and then return to full Torah observance, including circumcision if we want to live in the Promised Land eternally with our fathers in the faith, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The prophet Daniel in fact prophesied about the fact that these truths will only be discovered during the time of the end, as witnessed in Daniel 12: 4, saying: “But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.” Yes, the knowledge we are talking about here, means knowledge in general, such as scientific discoveries to improve our health as well as making our lives easier, but also knowledge about Elohim’s Torah and will for mankind. But the overriding remaining question is: just how close are we to the end of the age right now?

We read from Matthew 24: 9 – 14 what is playing out at this time, but will increase extraordinarily to a point where some of us will deliver up one another to the leaders of the false religious systems of this world, because of the pressures of life,  as follows: “Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of My name. (Yes, we are going to be hated even by our own race because we proclaim the correct name of our Master and Savior namely Yahshua.) (10) And at that time many will fall away and will deliver up one another and hate one another. (11) And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many. (12) And because  lawlessness (Torahlessness) is increased, most people’s love (for Elohim and other human beings) will grow cold. (13) But the one who endures to the end, he shall be saved. (14) And this gospel of the kingdom (of Elohim on earth as it is now in heaven) shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.” Verse 10 is expanded a great deal in the same prophecy by Yahshua in Mark 13: 9 – 12, in this way: “But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues (many in Christianity teach that this is saying that the Jews will persecute true believers in their synagogues, but we need to be reminded that when this was written by the Jewish man Mark, the only places where religious meetings were conducted, were synagogues. Yahshua was here really referring to places where religious meetings will be conducted by the counterfeit religion that He knew would be started in His false name after His death, resurrection and ascension to heaven), and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them. (10) And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. (11) And when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Set-apart Spirit. (12) And brother will deliver brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.” If you and I really get serious about proclaiming the true gospel into the world, the job will be done and the end of mankind’s misrule will come, but as can be seen from Mark’s account, it will result in our persecution by our own people.    

Reading further from Matthew 24: 15 – 22, we see a number of additional things that still need to happen, before Messiah’s return to come and safe us from ourselves, as follows: “Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), (16) then let those who are in Judea (not everyone in every Israelite country – but only the Jews in Israel)  flee to the mountains; (17) let him who is on the housetop not go down to get the things out that are in his house;  (18) and let him who is in the field not turn back to get his cloak. (19) But woe to those who are with child and those who nurse babes in those days! (20) But pray that your flight may not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath; (21) for then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall. (22) And unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short.” Since World War II there have been numerous wars throughout the world and the potential for another World War exist almost all over the world. What is described in Matthew 24: 6 & 7 started with World War I, in this way: “And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. (7) For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.” So if all that we have experienced over the past 100 years or so, is not the end yet? What was the meaning of it all?  Yes, even though over 160 million people have been killed in wars since 1914, that was in fact what Yahshua referred to in Matthew 24: 8, saying: “But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.” The point is that Messiah is just about to give birth to the Great Tribulation.

If the number of people who died in wars, famine, and pestilence from 1914 after the start of World War I until today is described by Yahshua as merely the beginning of birth pangs, do you and I fully realize what the great tribulation will be like? Let me quote a number of statistics to make us understand the severity of what happened in our world since World War I. YHVH has been trying to correct the children of Israel since He brought our forefathers out of Egypt. But because the false religious system of the world has succeeded in hiding the truth that the Israelites who came out of Egypt consisted of both the house of Israel and the house of Judah, and somehow convinced the whole world that only the almost 16 million Jews alive today are Israelites, most people came to believe that two thirds of the Scriptures is not applicable to them any longer. Most do not even have an inkling that King David ruled over both the house of Israel and the house of Judah, and that he will again after Messiah’s return be the Prince ruling over the kingdom of Elohim over Israel under Messiah, as confirmed in Zechariah 37: 24 & 25, as follows: ‘And My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd (Yahshua); and they will walk in My ordinances, and keep My statutes, and observe them. (25) And they shall live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons, and their sons’ sons, forever; and David My servant shall be their prince forever.’  Once we understand that the Israelites were scattered through mainly the nations of the western world and that most of those of us called by YHVH at this time are from the lost ten tribes of Israel, we will realize that most of the prophecies given in the Scriptures are busy playing out right before our eyes, and that the worst of what have been prophesied to happen to us the descendants of Jacob, is about to happen in the next few years before Messiah’s return.

As stated before a 160 million people died in wars since 1914. But in countries where they keep accurate statistics of violent crimes like the USA, we are told that every 25 minutes someone is murdered, and one woman is raped every six minutes. This is a relatively small first world country of only about 325 million people out of a total of about 7.4 billion people world-wide.  According to statistics I obtained from google around 437,000 people were murdered in 2014 alone and 69,000 females and 9,000 males are raped/sodomized annually. How sick have we become? What must YHVH our Creator think of us? I believe this is also why He is trying to correct us through natural disasters, pestilence and famines as He also warned in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28.  According to ‘The World Almanac’ there were only 21 earthquakes of major strength between 1000 and 1800, this increased to 18 major earthquakes between 1800 and 1900, then from 1900 to 1950 there were 33 major earth quakes, and between 1950 and 1990 there were 93 major earthquakes and finally between 1991  -   2014, 56 major earthquakes. The death toll due to major earthquakes alone since 1900 amounts to well over a million people. Since the year 1900, 814 out of every 100,000 people alive in the world died annually because of famine. Since the same time Aids, typhoid diphtheria, malaria, tuberculosis, cholera, Ebola, Marburg fever and other diseases have killed millions of people. Since 1983 almost 22 million people died of Aids alone. A hundred different types of cancer kill over 5 million people annually.  The cost of war is enormous. While some famines are caused by drought  or other natural disasters, children are probably more likely to starve as a result of wars, government corruption and economic oppression. The World Health Organization estimates that one third of the world is well fed, whilst a third is under-fed, and one third is starving.  While millions starve of hunger, rich countries destroy millions of tons of food and pour millions of gallons of milk down the drain to keep prices high. However, most human beings have become so calloused that these numbers do not scare us in the least. Or as some would say: ‘That’s life’. Nobody understands that YHVH is causing these things to try and bring us to repentance, as the prophet Amos testified in Amos 3: 4 – 6, saying: ‘Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl from his den unless he has captured something? (5) Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground when there is no bait in it? Does a trap spring up from the earth when it captures nothing at all? (6) If a trumpet is blown in a city will not the people tremble? If a calamity occurs in a city has not YHVH done It?’ YHVH is punishing us like a father would his wayward children, to get them to repent and become obedient again, but we are not even aware of it. A fellow believer, who only recently came from the church system, asked me how I can talk about curses that the Law of cause and effect has meted out on us if Messiah took these curses away. He was obviously referring to Galatians 3: 13 which Churchianity misapplied to teach that Torah is abolished.

What most people who recently come from Christianity do not understand is that Yahshua paid the death penalty due to us for breaking various Torah commands which is punishable by death through stoning. Since Elohim’s Laws or Torah teachings are made up of commandments, statutes and judgment; the statutes are an explanation of how we apply the Ten Commandments in our lives; and the judgments are the punishment due for breaking the commandments. Because the church teaches that Yahshua abolished Torah, they came to believe that they need not concern themselves with curses listed in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 any longer, since ‘Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the Law.’ But they do not understand that Yahshua came specifically to bring us from the lost ten tribes back to the faith into which He was born, namely Judaism as he explained to the Jews in John 10: 16, saying: “And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold (synagogue); I must bring them also, and they shall hear My voice; and they shall become one flock with one shepherd.” Yahshua further confirmed this in Matthew 15: 24, when He said to the Canaanite woman who asked Him to heal her demon-possessed daughter, saying: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Yahshua came to save the first fruits whom the Father is busy calling from among the lost sheep of the house of Israel to return to YHVH and Brother Judah, in order to restore the commonwealth of Israel (consisting of both houses) for the reestablishment of the Kingdom of Elohim over Israel. Yahshua removed the judgment in respect of our past law-breaking, by paying the punishment due to us and dying in our place, but now that we are reconciled to YHVH and Brother Judah, we need to obey all the Torah commands applicable to each one of us, to inherit eternal life. Since we are now reconciled to the Father by having been immersed in Messiah’s saving Name, and having received a portion of Elohim’s Set-apart Spirit, we are in exactly the same position all Torah observant Jews find themselves in; we can come to YHVH every time we transgress His Torah commands, repent and go on with our lives obeying Torah, as we read from Ezekiel 18: 23, as follows: ‘Do I have any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” declares YHVH Elohim, “rather than that he should turn from his ways (Torah breaking evil ways) and live?’  Once we, like all Torah observant Jews know what sin is (which is something we did not know as part of Churchianity), we are able to truly repent and return to YHVH every time we transgress His Torah teachings.

Continuing His prophecy about the end of this age, Yahshua compared the things happening in our time with the time of Noah, when YHVH destroyed all life from earth except for Noah, his family and the animals YHVH protected in the Ark that Noah spend many years to build, in Matthew 24: 37 & 38, saying: “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. (38) For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, they were marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark.” Some might say: ‘There have always been earthquakes, droughts, epidemics and even war; it is all cyclical – and these things come and go!’  Others might ascribe the present drought situation in South Africa as simply the ‘el-Niño’ effect that plays out from time to time.  We might believe nonsense like that , but YHVH never forgot the covenant that He made with both houses of Israel at Mount Sinai, even if Christianity are adamant about not keeping Elohim’s commandments because of their so-called faith in J*e*s*u*s*, something which Yahshua our Messiah totally contradicted by saying in John 5: 46 & 47: “For if you believed Moses you would believe Me; for he wrote of Me. (47) But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My (Yahshua’s) words?”  We see further what Rav Kepha had to say about what is busy playing out at the time we live in, saying in 2 Peter 3: 3 – 4: “Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, (4) and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” Ask yourself: Have there always been nations with nuclear weapons? Have there always been Aids and Ebola? Have there always been droughts, floods, pestilence and earthquakes of the magnitudes that we see today? The answer is no to all of these questions.   In fact for the very first time in history, we see all the aspects of Messiah’s prophecy about the end of this age coming together at the same time. It is obvious that we are a lot closer to the end of the age than what we were ever before. It was for this very reason that Rav Shaul warned in first Thessalonians 5: 1 – 10, saying:  ‘Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. (2) For you yourselves know full well that the day of YHVH will come just like a thief in the night. (3) While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like birth pangs upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (4) But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief; (5) for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; (6) so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober. (7) For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night. (8) But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation. (9) For Elohim has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Master Yahshua Messiah, (10) who died for us, that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.’  Because we have been keeping the Feast Days of Elohim for a number of years, we understand that Messiah will return one day in the near future on the Feast of Trumpets, also known as Yom Teruah (or Rosh Hashanah as our Jewish Brothers refer to it).

The prophet Daniel prophesied about the great tribulation in Daniel 12: 1, saying: “Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your (Daniel’s) people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.” The length of the Tribulation is traditionally considered to be seven years. From Messiah’s prophecy in Matthew 24: 15, we understand that the Great Tribulation will commence with ‘the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet’ set up in the Temple. Yahshua clearly told His disciples that YHVH will shorten the duration of the Great Tribulation for Israel’s sake, otherwise all creation would be destroyed. Yahshua’s bride, the commonwealth of Israel, meaning the called out Israelites together with their Torah observant Jewish Brothers will be protected from the coming persecution as Yahshua witnessed to Yochanan in Revelation 12: 6, saying: ‘And the woman (Yahshua’s bride) fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared by Elohim, so that there she might be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.’ The bride of Messiah will flee from the serpent, the great dragon, also called the Devil by going into the wilderness where there will be a special place prepared for her, as also witnessed in Revelation 12: 14, in this way: ‘And the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, in order that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.’ Isaiah prophesied about this time in Isaiah 26: 20 & 21 saying: ‘Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and close your doors behind you; hide for a little while, until indignation runs its course. (21) For behold, YHVH is about to come out from His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; and the earth will reveal her bloodshed, and will no longer cover her slain.’

Continuing in Revelation 12: 15 – 17, we see that those multitudes that turn to YHVH because of the Great Tribulation, will continued to be persecuted, as follows: ‘And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. (16) And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. (17) And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of Elohim and hold to the testimony of Yahshua.’ Next the prophet Isaiah told us about the day of YHVH in Isaiah 24: 21 - 23, saying: ‘So it will happen in that day, that YHVH will punish the host of heaven, on high, and the kings of the earth, on earth. (22) And they will be gathered together like prisoners in the dungeon, and will be confined in prison; and after many days they will be punished. (23) Then the moon will be abashed and sun ashamed, for YHVH of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and His glory will be before His elders.’  The prophet Joel also prophesied about the Day of YHVH in Joel 2: 10, 11, 31 & 32, saying: ‘Before them the earth quakes, the heavens tremble, the sun and the moon grow dark, and the stars lose their brightness. (11) And YHVH utters His voice before His army; surely His camp is very great, for strong is He who carries out His word. The day of YHVH is indeed great and very awesome. And who can endure it? (31) The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and awesome day of YHVH comes. (32) And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of YHVH will be delivered; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as YHVH has said, even among the survivors whom YHVH calls.’ At the end of three and a half years the Bridegroom will come as witnessed in Revelation 19: 11 – 16, in this way: ‘And I saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True; and in righteousness He judges and wages war. (12) And His eyes are a flame of fire, and upon His head are many diadems; and He has a name written upon Him which no one knows except Himself. (13) And He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and His name is called The Word of Elohim. (14) And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fire linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. (15) And from His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may smite the nations; and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of Elohim, the Almighty. (16) And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND MASTER OF MASTERS.”’

Yahshua told us about His coming in Matthew 24: 29 & 31, saying: “But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken, (30) and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. (31) And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.” If we consider all these facts, we know that the coming of our Master and Savior is very close, but there are still a number of factors outstanding, such as there need to be a Temple to be desecrated, followed by the Great Tribulation and the Day of YHVH. But, we are also aware that when these things start happening, it will happen very quickly. It is therefore vitally important that we remain in a state of readiness for the Bridegroom when He comes, by obeying Elohim’s instruction manual for us fully. Think about It!
