The Rapture
Matthew 24
Mat 24:1 And going out, יהושע went away from the Set-apart Place, and His
taught ones came near to point out to Him the buildings of the Set-apart Place.
:2 And יהושע said to them, “Do you not see all these? Truly, I say to you, not one
stone shall be left here upon another, at all, which shall not be thrown down.” :3
And as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the taught ones came to Him separately,
saying, “Say to us, when shall this be, and what is the sign of Your coming, and of
the end of the age?” :4 And יהושע answering, said to them, “Take heed that
no one leads you astray. :5 “For many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am the
Messiah,’ and they shall lead many astray. :6 “And you shall begin to hear of
fightings and reports of fightings. See that you are not troubled, for these have to
take place, but the end is not yet. :7 “For nation shall rise against nation, and reign
against reign. And there shall be scarcities of food, and deadly diseases, and
earthquakes in places. :8 “And all these are the beginning of birth pains. :9 “Then
they shall deliver you up to affliction and kill you, and you shall be hated by all
nations for My Name’s sake.
:10 “And then many shall stumble, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall
hate one another. :11 “And many false prophets shall rise up and lead many
astray. :12 “And because of the increase in lawlessness, the love of many shall
become cold. :13 “But he who shall have endured to the end shall be saved. 1
Footnote: 1 See 10:22.
:14 “And this Good News of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world as a
witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come. :15 “So when you see the
‘abomination that lays waste,’1 spoken of by Dani’ĕl the prophet, set up in the set-
apart place” – he who reads, let him understand –
Footnote:1See Abomination that lays waste in Explanatory Notes. :16 “then let those who are
in Yehud'ah flee to the mountains. :17 “Let him who is on the house-top not come
down to take whatever out of his house. :18 “And let him who is in the field not
turn back to get his garments. :19 “And woe to those who are pregnant and to
those who are nursing children in those days! :20 “And pray that your flight does
not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. :21 “For then there shall be great
distress, 1 such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no,
nor ever shall be. Footnote: 1 Or great pressure, or great affliction. :22 “And if those
days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the sake of the chosen
ones those days shall be shortened. :23 “If anyone then says to you, ‘Look, here is
the Messiah!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe. :24 “For false messiahs and false
prophets shall arise, and they shall show great signs and wonders, so as to lead
astray, if possible, even the chosen ones. :25 “See, I have forewarned you. :26
“So if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is
in the inner rooms!’ do not believe. :27 “For as the lightning comes from the east
and shines to the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of Adam be. :28 “For
wherever the dead body is, there the eagles shall be gathered together. 1
Footnote: 1 Lk. 17:37.
:29 “And immediately after the distress 1 of those days the sun shall be darkened,
and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and
the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Footnote: 1 Or pressure. :30 “And then
the sign of the Son of Adam shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of
the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Adam coming on the clouds of
the heaven with power and much esteem. :31 “And He shall send His messengers
with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His chosen ones
from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
:32 “And learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become
tender and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is near. :33 “So you also,
when you see all these, know that He is near, at the doors. :34 “Truly, I say
to you, this generation shall by no means pass away until all this takes place. :35
“The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My words shall by no means pass
away. :36 “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the
messengers of the heavens, but My Father only. 1 Footnote: 1 Mk. 13:32. :37 “And
as the days of Noaḥ, so also shall the coming of the Son of Adam be. :38 “For as
they were in the days before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noaḥ entered into the ark, :39 and they did not know
until the flood came and took them all away, so also shall the coming of the
Son of Adam be. :40 “Then two shall be in the field, the one is taken and the one
is left.
Cross Reference:
Mat 3:12 "His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He shall thoroughly cleanse His
threshing-floor, and gather His wheat into the storehouse, but the chaff He shall
burn with unquenchable fire."
Mat 13:29 "But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the darnel you also uproot
the wheat with them, :30 ‘Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time
of harvest I shall say to the reapers, "First gather the darnel and bind them in
bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my granary." ’ "
:41 “Two shall be grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left. :42 “Watch
therefore, for you do not know what hour your Master is coming. :43 “And know
this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he
would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. :44
“Because of this, be ready too, for the Son of Adam is coming at an hour when
you do not expect Him. :45 “Who then is a trustworthy and wise servant, whom
his master set over his household, to give them food in season? :46 “Blessed is
that servant whom his master, having come, shall find so doing. :47 “Truly, I say
to you that he shall set him over all his possessions. :48 “But if that evil servant
says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ :49 and begins to beat his
fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, :50 the master of that
servant shall come on a day when he does not expect it, and at an hour he does
not know, :51 and shall cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the
hypocrites – there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Notice, in verse :50 and :51, Yeshua "Jesus" is talking about the evil servant was
the one that did not know when the Master would return. On a day he did not
expect, and he would be cast into the Lake of Fire. The Good servant was aware
of His return, He was watching for Him, He got the WORD.
Matthew 24
Mat 24:1 And going out, יהושע went away from the Set-apart Place, and His
taught ones came near to point out to Him the buildings of the Set-apart Place.
:2 And יהושע said to them, “Do you not see all these? Truly, I say to you, not one
stone shall be left here upon another, at all, which shall not be thrown down.” :3
And as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the taught ones came to Him separately,
saying, “Say to us, when shall this be, and what is the sign of Your coming, and of
the end of the age?” :4 And יהושע answering, said to them, “Take heed that
no one leads you astray. :5 “For many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am the
Messiah,’ and they shall lead many astray. :6 “And you shall begin to hear of
fightings and reports of fightings. See that you are not troubled, for these have to
take place, but the end is not yet. :7 “For nation shall rise against nation, and reign
against reign. And there shall be scarcities of food, and deadly diseases, and
earthquakes in places. :8 “And all these are the beginning of birth pains. :9 “Then
they shall deliver you up to affliction and kill you, and you shall be hated by all
nations for My Name’s sake.
- Note: Ummm. They are going to
KILL YOU!!! This doesn't sound like you are saved from the day of
affliction. Why would you be hated in "THIS TIME", the time of affliction, if
you are not here, Raptured out?
:10 “And then many shall stumble, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall
hate one another. :11 “And many false prophets shall rise up and lead many
astray. :12 “And because of the increase in lawlessness, the love of many shall
become cold. :13 “But he who shall have endured to the end shall be saved. 1
Footnote: 1 See 10:22.
- Note: Imagine all of those poor souls that thought they would not
have to go through the Tribulation, "The Day of Affliction", when they
discover they were not Raptured out, that they were "Left Behind".
Don't you think many would "Stumble" as the Messiah said? Oh, and
the mention of the increase in "Lawlessness", That is a direct
reference to people NOT observing HIS Laws or the Torah,
"Torahlessness".
:14 “And this Good News of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world as a
witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come. :15 “So when you see the
‘abomination that lays waste,’1 spoken of by Dani’ĕl the prophet, set up in the set-
apart place” – he who reads, let him understand –
Footnote:1See Abomination that lays waste in Explanatory Notes. :16 “then let those who are
in Yehud'ah flee to the mountains. :17 “Let him who is on the house-top not come
down to take whatever out of his house. :18 “And let him who is in the field not
turn back to get his garments. :19 “And woe to those who are pregnant and to
those who are nursing children in those days! :20 “And pray that your flight does
not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. :21 “For then there shall be great
distress, 1 such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no,
nor ever shall be. Footnote: 1 Or great pressure, or great affliction. :22 “And if those
days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the sake of the chosen
ones those days shall be shortened. :23 “If anyone then says to you, ‘Look, here is
the Messiah!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe. :24 “For false messiahs and false
prophets shall arise, and they shall show great signs and wonders, so as to lead

“So if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is
in the inner rooms!’ do not believe. :27 “For as the lightning comes from the east
and shines to the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of Adam be. :28 “For
wherever the dead body is, there the eagles shall be gathered together. 1
Footnote: 1 Lk. 17:37.
:29 “And immediately after the distress 1 of those days the sun shall be darkened,
and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and
the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Footnote: 1 Or pressure. :30 “And then
the sign of the Son of Adam shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of
the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Adam coming on the clouds of
the heaven with power and much esteem. :31 “And He shall send His messengers
with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His chosen ones
from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
- Notice no mention of Him coming and taking
people in a Rapture before the Tribulation…
:32 “And learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become
tender and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is near. :33 “So you also,
when you see all these, know that He is near, at the doors. :34 “Truly, I say
to you, this generation shall by no means pass away until all this takes place. :35
“The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My words shall by no means pass
away. :36 “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the
messengers of the heavens, but My Father only. 1 Footnote: 1 Mk. 13:32. :37 “And
as the days of Noaḥ, so also shall the coming of the Son of Adam be. :38 “For as
they were in the days before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noaḥ entered into the ark, :39 and they did not know
until the flood came and took them all away, so also shall the coming of the
Son of Adam be. :40 “Then two shall be in the field, the one is taken and the one
is left.
Cross Reference:
Mat 3:12 "His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He shall thoroughly cleanse His
threshing-floor, and gather His wheat into the storehouse, but the chaff He shall
burn with unquenchable fire."
Mat 13:29 "But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the darnel you also uproot
the wheat with them, :30 ‘Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time
of harvest I shall say to the reapers, "First gather the darnel and bind them in
bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my granary." ’ "
- So, Here is a question for you, are we, The Believers the "Wheat", or
the "Darnel?" Aren't the True believers the "Wheat", something of
value to the Father? So, if there is a pre-tribulation rapture as the
Church teaches, why are we "The Wheat", still left here after the ones
that are not saved, the "Darnel", are taken? The Darnel is cast into the
fire, so if they are the ones who are taken first, then the Pre-tribulation
Idea just doesn't work. In order for the Pre-tribulation Idea to work,
aren't the believers supposed to be taken, and then the evil ones, "The
Darnel", supposed to be "Left Behind"? Use your head, think about
this!!!
- Here, now on the rest of the following Scriptures, pay close
attention to who is the good and wise servant and who is the evil
servant.
:41 “Two shall be grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left. :42 “Watch
therefore, for you do not know what hour your Master is coming. :43 “And know
this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he
would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. :44
“Because of this, be ready too, for the Son of Adam is coming at an hour when
you do not expect Him. :45 “Who then is a trustworthy and wise servant, whom
his master set over his household, to give them food in season? :46 “Blessed is
that servant whom his master, having come, shall find so doing. :47 “Truly, I say
to you that he shall set him over all his possessions. :48 “But if that evil servant
says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ :49 and begins to beat his
fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, :50 the master of that
servant shall come on a day when he does not expect it, and at an hour he does
not know, :51 and shall cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the
hypocrites – there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Notice, in verse :50 and :51, Yeshua "Jesus" is talking about the evil servant was
the one that did not know when the Master would return. On a day he did not
expect, and he would be cast into the Lake of Fire. The Good servant was aware
of His return, He was watching for Him, He got the WORD.
- The Pre-Tribulation Rapture concept has no more truth in it than the
"Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny", or any other myth the
Devil has concocted over the years to make us feel good!
