An essential Gospel doctrine is the timing of when Messiah our Savior who is the very image of Yahweh, will gather together and transform His Elect. The Word of Yahweh clearly teaches that this will occur at the last trump (1 Cor 15:52).

The gathering of the body of believers in Messiah is often referred to as the Rapture, and it represents one of the most significant end times prophecies. However, the truth with regards to the Gathering of Yahweh’s children, will probably not be revealed during most Wednesday night bible studies.

• Messiah the Savior declared, one shall be taken and the other shall be left behind. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be when our Redeemer returns. The ones taken are to be destroyed and those left behind, will inherit the Kingdom on earth at His Second Coming. The gathering of the elect occurs after the great tribulation.

• Mark 13:24-27 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven

Rev 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, Yahweh shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, Yahweh shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book

To proclaim that the gathering together of the Elect occurs before the second advent of our Messiah and Savior is a telltale sign that an end times prophecy teacher is but a fraud. These charlatans who are without the Spirit of Yahweh, cannot understand His Revelations, and their so-called wisdom will only result in faulty interpretations and deceptions.

Matt 15:8-9 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men

Many of the students of these false teachers in the church, have been led to believe that they have already received the gift of Salvation. Those who preach incorrect but popular gospel messages are merely interested in money, fame, and manipulation of the masses.

If one does not have knowledge of the truth regarding salvation, are they really sealed with Yahweh’s Spirit? And furthermore, can they rightly claim to be born-again?

Study to shew thyself approved unto Yahweh, a workman that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings, for they will increase unto more ungodliness (2 Tim 2:15-16).

The ultimate reward for faithfully running the race set before us is to be redeemed unto incorruption and immortality. An essential Gospel doctrine is that we must endure until the end to be Saved.

We must not adhere to man-made doctrines that distort the reality of Yahweh’s plan of salvation for us. His Spirit will enable us to understand and authenticate many Gospel truths.

Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of Yahweh’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of Yahweh

According to the Word of Yahweh, those who claim to already be Saved are involved in an act of self-righteousness? Although the false teachers (and scribes) may be guilty for putting forth doctrines of deceit, do their students not bear any responsibility for following the wrong shepherds?

1 Thes 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation

Our faith should not be based upon the vain babblings, of the false teachers who claim to be wise; true faith is powerful (because it is based upon Spiritually discerned reality), and it is a gift from Yahweh (1 Cor 2:5, 12:4-11).

To claim that Salvation occurs in the present tense, does not strengthen one’s faith or hope. How can you hope for something that you already claim to possess (2 Tim 2:14-18).

In reality, the end result of our faith is the Salvation of our Souls (1 Peter 1:9).

Most who claim that their Salvation has already occurred, also believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. How will these be able to endure the tribulations that are to come upon this world?

An essential Gospel doctrine is that our Savior will return a second time, and this will transpire at the conclusion of the 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation. A secret gathering of the church, and then a third advent, is not mentioned anywhere in Scripture.

1 John 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit

The infilling of Yahweh’s Spirit that dwells within us, teaches us the truth. His true followers will not be taken away or raptured before the Great tribulation, and this time of trouble is not the wrath of God.

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him

Irrefutable End Time Doctrines

Another essential Gospel doctrine is that we must, through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of Yahweh (Acts 14:22).

Rev 6:9-11 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of Yahweh, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long Yahweh, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled

We all will experience tribulations if we faithfully carry our cross, and are a true witness for Yahweh.

1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Messiah’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy

Apparently, this group of people that are supposedly raptured away before this time of trouble, have special privileges that the rest of the faithful believers did not possess.

John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil

Messiah our Savior dispelled the myth of taking us out of the world before the appointed time. There are several promises hidden to most in the prayer guide unto Yahweh, and none of them allude to a pre tribulation rapture.

• Deliver us from all evil.
• Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
• We are not taken up to Heaven, but our Savior brings the Kingdom to us – On earth as it is in Heaven

Messiah clearly explains that one would be taken and the other left behind. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be when the Son of Man returns (Luk 17:26).

The evil ones are taken, and they will be destroyed, however, the righteous are left behind to inherit the kingdom of Yahweh.

 Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory

Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other

After the great tribulation, the elect will be gathered together (not before but after). It would be unnecessary to gather the heavenly host if it were not for the fact that they also will  reign on earth with their Savior Yahweh.

Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of Yahweh, and for the testimony which they held

Throughout history men and women have become martyrs for Yahweh. All day long His followers are counted as sheep for the slaughter (Psa 44:22, Rom 8:36).

Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled

Many will also become martyrs for Messiah our Savior during the three and a half years of the Great Tribulation, proving there is no secret rapture.

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Messiah, even for the word of Yahweh, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years (Rev 20:4) .

Matt 24:39-40 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left

Teachings Designed To Deceive

When Messiah our Savior returns a second time, one group shall be taken away, but it is not to heaven. They are actually taken to Hell and await the final judgment after His 1000 year reign. And the elect are left behind to remain on earth. This doctrine of deception (the pre-tribulation rapture teaching) is the exact opposite of the what our Messiah taught.

John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also

The apostle Paul clearly points out that he will receive his crown of righteousness, at the same time as those who are left behind receive theirs (2 Tim 4:1).

2 Tim 4:8  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which Yahweh, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing

To suggest that the Church receives the reward of eternal life before the tribulation, while Paul waits until the end of the tribulation for his is a nonsensical doctrine of deceit.

I charge thee therefore before Yahweh, even Yahweh the Messiah, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom (2 Tim 4:1).

If there is a pre-tribulation rapture then these people escape the judgment. This is impossible, as it is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment (2 Tim 4:1; Heb 9:27-28).

Rev 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth

The Prophets, Saints and servants who fear the name of Yahweh are all rewarded at this time, which is at the end of the great tribulation period.

Psalms 147:11 Yahweh taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy

This verse in Rev 11:18, also completely destroys the possibility of a pre-tribulation rapture.

A rapture or gathering of the church before this time is quite impossible, how could the prophets not be worthy of the same rewards of the church? Salvation can’t occur at any time other than that of the second coming of our Messiah. The reward for the righteous is Salvation, which just happens to occur when our Savior returns (Isa 62:11; Col 3:24; Rev 22:12).

2 Thes 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of the Messiah is at hand

The day when our Messiah and Savior returns to gather his Elect, is after the great tribulation. During the tribulation, the man of sin (the false messiah) reigns for 3 1/2 years.

2 Thes 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition

It is evident that the day in which we are gathered, or caught up, does not occur until after the Beast or man of sin is revealed. There goes the possibility of escaping the Great Tribulation.

2 Thes 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom Yahweh shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming

And finally, this all happens at the end of the Great Tribulation, as this is when our Savior returns and throws the Beast and False Prophet into the Lake of Fire (Rev 19:20).

The Great Tribulation is not the wrath of Yahweh. This is most definitely an essential Gospel doctrine that must be understood.

2 Tim 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us

Salvation is received by those who are sealed with the promise of Messiah our Savior. Hell and finally the Lake of Fire are reserved for the unbeliever. This is His wrath, which is the eternal separation from Him.
