It doesn't. That was my point. Those who think that Isreal is now the church will never get prophesy right. The writer of the article obviously thinks that Isreal is now the church or he would have understood what happens in Egypt is after the body of Christ (the church) is taken from this earth. The rapture will happen prior to the anti Christ making the peace agreement with Isreal. The bride will be secluded with Christ for that week of years just as the bride and groom are secluded for one week in a traditional Hebrew marriage ceremony.
The Law of First Mention Is it all those called out by YHvH ? or What was the purpose of the Ekklesia ? Was it a temporal corporation to rule on earth ? No ! Was it to have a temporal head ? No ! It was a gathering of YHvH's chosen people to hear His Word ? and learn to Fear YHvH all their days ? And to teach their children the same ? Yes. ------------- Ekklesia is from the Hebrew Qahal (kof, hey, lamed) How does YHvH define "church" i.e.Ekklesia ?
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
A study of the word "church", in the Koine Greek : Ekklesia.
Was the "church" started at the YHvH commanded
Feast day of Shavuot (pentecost) as some say ?
Did the "church" exist earlier ?
Using the LXX as a guide we see that the Ekklesia
is first used in Deuteronomy 4:10 NAsbU Deuteronomy 4:10 "Remember the day you stood before YHvH, your God
Also see : Deu 4:10, Deu 9:10, Deu 18:16, Deu 23:3, Deu 23:4, Deu 23:9, Deu 31:30,
at Horeb, when YHvH said to me, 'Assemble the people to Me, that I may let
them hear My words so they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on
the earth, and that they may teach their children.'
Jos 9:2, Jda 20.2, Jda 21:5, Jda 21:8, Jdg 20:2 Jdg 21:5, Jdg 21:8, 1 Sa 17:47,

1 Ch 28:8 (kof => The HOLY ONE
which is haQahal The assembly (hey, kop, hey, lamed)
hey => grace, breath of G-d
lamed => teaching and learning)
In scripture it is always used to describe
those who have been assembled by YHvH.
It begins in Exodus 16:3 ( the bread from heaven )
and continues to Nehemiah 8:17 (living in Booths) NAsbU Nehemiah 8:17
The entire assembly of those who had returned from
the captivity made booths and lived in them.
The sons of Israel had indeed not done so
from the days of Joshua(Yehoshua)
the son of Nun to that day.
And there was great rejoicing.

Not scriptural!
There is no rapture before the end of the 3.5 year tribulation.
There is also no “peace agreement” for antichrist to make with Israel.
The “confirming of the covenant” is when Yeshua causes his ark to be revealed to the people of Israel. That is the beginning of the “70th week.”
While some know and have seen the place of the Ark, they are only a handful of people, and they have willingly kept it secret. I believe that Yeshua will cause the Ark to be uncovered on exactly the right time, probably by an earthquake that opens up that portion of Mt. Moriyah suddenly.
.
The bride is raptured at the last trump, just as the scriptures say, on the “day of Trumpets.”
The bride returns to Earth with Yeshua 15 days later at Succot, to begin the millennial reign.
Since the Ark has not been publicly revealed, we know for sure that Yeshua cannot come for at least seven more years.
