“Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”

Luke 21:36

Why would Jesus tell believers to do that, if they were going to be Raptured.....no matter what?”

I believe this passage was specifically referring to the approaching Roman/Jewish war and the persecution that happened around 70 AD, which was spoken about in Luke 21:20. Note the words “about to happen” which during that time wouldn’t have applied to the rapture, but to a different event. So rest easy knowing that when Christ returns for the church, your reservation is already booked for the party.

Even Jesus says he does not know, only the father does.

You need to grasp that one is a picture of the other.

There is no “Rapture” in the word of Yehova.

Neither is there any “New Testament Church” to be found anywhere.

These things are apostasy that were born of the false apostles of the 4th century.

The gathering at the Last Trump is the entire Kehillah, excepting the 24 elders that were resurrected with Yeshua.

Jeremiah made it plain that the Renewed Covenant is with the House of Judah, and the House of Israel.

He made no mention of any church, and neither did any apostle. We become a part of that renewed covenant by sojourning with the House of Israel, and thus being “grafted in.”

Eschew Hal Lindsay-ism!

>> “By “our” you are just now telling me you are Jewish Orthadox right?” <<

It is far beyond my imagination to grasp where you got that comical idea from!

The Orthodox are only now just beginning to see the reality of Messiach; just a small number of them.

>> “I believe he makes biblical reference to when evening meets morning” <<

Nowhere does scripture indicate that Evening can meet Morning. They are separated by many hours of darkness, just as the birth of Yeshua is separated from his return by many hours of darkness.

Midnight is a sungod worshiper’s concept; paganism, ignorance.

You spelled the name of a book in the bible wrong twice in one post. Your Sunday school teacher would be most displeased.

“There is no Rapture in the word of Yehova”

Derived from “Harpazo” see 1 Thessalonians 4:17.

“He made no mention of any Church, and neither did any Apostle”

Just one example, see Paul’s writings in 1 Corinthians 1:1-2

The true test of one’s belief that Jesus is returning on Sept. 23 is their willingness to turn over their earthly possessions of houses, boats and late model vehicles to the non believers such as me............

Well, if things soon turn out the way quite a few of us are hoping, all those goodies will be left behind, unattended and available for the taking.

A congregation is not a church.

Do not be confused by king James’ attempt to invent his own “church” and his translators using the words that pleased the king.

There is no church in Yehova’s word. A church is a human corporation, and has nothing to do with Yehova.

I see you’ve encountered our Roodite follower.

That is what belonging to a cult will get you.

My inquiry was of a Jewish culture nature... i.e. feast of trumpets.

Your response and use of Jewish terms and pronouns implied to me that you were speaking from a Jewish position of authority.

When you said “our” deliverance, with the stated belief that there is no pre-tribulation rapture, that was the first thought that came to my mind, because I know that Jewish Orthadox does not believe in pre-tribulation rapture.

Of what religious persuasion are you?

The feasts are not “Jewish” in any way. They come not from man made culture, but from the commandments delivered in the first Shavuot at Sinai.

The feasts are required of all. That is solely for our own good, since there is no way to be a “wise” virgin without learning them well enough for them to be part of your nature.

Without them your head will remain spinning until you see the Kehillah depart for the wedding. (and everyone will witness this event)

Sure there is.

And as Scott from NJ stated:

When you make statements like this editor-surveyor, I really don't understand how you think you have credibility on this site.
