If you are receiving this and you are Jewish, the identity of our Jewish Messiah is found in the Tanakh in Scripture written between 1000 and 700 BC:   Micah 5:2, Psalm 22:14-18, and all of the 53rd chapter of Isaiah!   If you refuse to believe this, and most of you will, the problem is yours, not God's.   Jewish unbelief is described in great detail in both the Old and New Testaments, too much to go through here.   Men lie, but God tells the truth!   These verses of Scripture are true, and it matters not if you reject them!   You can have eternal life ultimately in a resurrection body once this mortal life is over, but ONLY if you do it God's way!   Making up your own belief system will not work!   Proverbs 14:12 tells us-----   "There is a way which SEEMS RIGHT TO A MAN, but its end is the way of death."   Everyone dies, but this is speaking of a very literal and real physical Hell.   Romans 1:16 (New Testament) tells us-----  "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, TO THE JEW FIRST and also to the Greek (gentile)."   And finally if you have a New Testament, go look up and read Acts 4:8-12!   We are told in verse 12 that "there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other Name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved".   None other than Jesus, who came into the world Jewish in the lineage of King David!  In fact, everyone who wrote the Bible (Old and New Testaments) with the exception of Luke was Jewish!

In 721 BC Assyria came down from the north and took the northern ten tribes of Israel captive.   The Jewish people would not again be a free, independent people living in their own land until 1948 AD, 2669 years later!   Since 1948 we have been living in what the Bible calls the End Times, that is the End Times of this present dispensation known as the "Church Age".   In the parable of the fig tree in both the Old and New Testaments (way too much Scripture to go into here) we are told that the generation to see Israel's return will see all end time events fulfilled.   In November of 1977, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt flew to Israel and spoke at the Israeli Knesset, saying that a comprehensive Middle East peace must be found.   That was over 42 years ago, and make no mistake about it, there will indeed be a comprehensive peace agreement achieved (Daniel 9:27), but it will be a FALSE peace made by the antichrist, who will emerge on the global stage very quickly after the Rapture occurs.   Seven years later the true peace will be established by Israel's long rejected Messiah, Who is Christ, at the Second Coming!

This e-mail is to give you the Scripture verses in the Tanakh (Old Testament) pertaining to the Rapture.   Most Christians do not know and virtually none of the Jewish people know that the Rapture is found in the Old Testament!   Well, actually almost none of the Jewish people even know or believe there is such a thing as the Rapture!   So........ here we go:

Psalm 12:1 New American Standard Bible     "Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases to be, for the faithful DISAPPEAR FROM AMONG THE SONS OF MEN."   At the very end of this Psalm the Scripture tells us the condition of the earth at the time the Rapture happens.    Psalm 12:8    "The wicked strut about on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men."   Ever notice the programming these days on TV and in the movies?   It ain't "Leave it to Beaver" and "Lassie" anymore!   Evil will continue to wax worse and worse in our society right up to the time of the Rapture, and then evil will abound on the earth during the 7 year Tribulation Period after the Rapture.

Isaiah 57:1 & 2    "The righteous man perishes (another meaning of this word is "disappears"), and no man takes it to heart; and devout men are taken away, while no one understands, for the righteous man is taken away from evil, he enters into peace....."    Right after the Rapture happens, no one on earth will understand what had just happened, and false explanations will be attributed to the disappearance, most prominently that aliens had arrived at earth and removed some of the people from earth.   Except for a few people who "wake up spiritually" after the Rapture and accept Christ as their Lord and Savior, most will totally reject the true explanation of the Rapture as found in the Bible.    In the King James version we are told "....none considering that the righteous is taken away FROM THE EVIL TO COME."   The Rapture will happen BEFORE the arrival of the antichrist and the evil of the 7 year Tribulation Period.

Micah 7:2 King James    "The good man is PERISHED OUT OF THE EARTH (disappeared):  and there is none upright among men......"   Immediately after the Rapture there will be no righteous person on earth as no one left on earth will have known the Lord, but this will change as early in the Tribulation Period people will begin to find Him, but they will have missed the Rapture.   In Micah 7:3 we find a "great man" appearing on the earth after the Rapture.   This is the arrival of the antichrist.

Isaiah 26:19-21    "Your dead will live; their corpses will rise" (the dead in Christ rise first, and then we who are alive and remain are caught up with them to meet the Lord in the air---- 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 New Testament)........."Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and close your doors behind you; hide for a little while, until indignation runs its course."    Those who believe in the Lord (Jesus) are raptured out of the earth, and are told to "hide for a little while" while God's judgment proceeds on the earth.   ".........For behold, the Lord 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."   In other words, by the time the 7 year Tribulation Period is over there will not be enough living to bury all of the dead!

The Rapture will happen in our time period in history.   We cannot know the day nor the hour, nor can we know the year.   But there is a 100% chance that the Rapture will happen, and it will precede the coming Middle East FALSE peace covenant (Daniel 9:27)!   Right now the basis for this false peace has been laid by laid out by Jared Kushner, an Orthodox Jew and President Trump's son-in-law.   Although he and President Trump mean this for good, unwittingly they have laid the stage for the coming false peace.   In the King James Bible, Daniel 9:27 tells us that the antichrist "CONFIRMS the covenant with the many".   That means the covenant was basically in place BEFORE the antichrist arrives on the scene, and the antichrist arrives and simply CONFIRMS the covenant, but he cannot arrive on the scene until AFTER the Rapture.    Sadly the vast, vast majority of churches today are totally silent on this extremely important topic of the Rapture occurring in our time period in history, but this fulfills the following prophecy found in Matthew 24:39:   "....and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be."    We are told our time period is just like the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37).   And who listened to Noah's message?   No one except 7 members of his own family!   So too very few today are listening to what God is saying through His Word, and even through dreams and visions given to many in these End Times!   (Joel 2:28 & 29)

The Rapture is found in a number of places in the New Testament.   I will not quote it here, but THE most famous Scripture passage on the Rapture is 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

Psalm 102:16 King James Bible    "WHEN THE LORD SHALL BUILD UP ZION (Israel, which returned in 1948), HE SHALL APPEAR IN HIS GLORY (Rapture, and a tad more than 7 years later, the Second Coming)."   We are the generation to see all of this occur!
