Following Yeshua and Divine Appointments

So, before we go to Matthew 24, let's just look briefly in summary of what we've discovered here, my friends. First of all, Peter warns all Christians and Jews not to take Paul out of context to our own destruction, which are untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do the rest of the scriptures. So Peter warns everybody, no one has an excuse. Peter warned everybody to be careful with Paul. Have the education to read Paul. And it's not just about having the education to understand what we went through tonight. It's about following our Master, following Yeshua. It's amazing. He says to pick up our cross and follow Him. What does that mean? Of course, common sense would tell us, logical sense would tell us to do everything that He did. And I'm not sure what the Christians are missing on this. Follow Him. What did He do? He did this right here. He did the divine appointments at moments. He did the Shabbat. Because if He did not, that would exclude Him. That would eliminate Him from being the Jewish Messiah. That's why when the Jews look at the Christians, they're like, "What are these people doing?" And I'm with them. "What are you doing?" And then I look at the Jews, "What are you doing not following Yeshua?" Both parties are out of alignment. And now look at this world. And look at the judgment coming to everybody because the Jews and Christians are not doing God's work. They're just not, as a whole. We're just not. That's pretty obvious in my opinion. And we don't have the education. We don't have the knowledge. We don't have the wisdom. We don't have the love of God to humble ourselves. Humble ourselves and have education in saying, "It's a Jewish thing. It's a Christian thing." Get that out of our face, please. I don't want to hear any of that. It's a God thing. How about that? And if you love God, and I know everybody on here does on the replay as well, then it's time to get serious about our faith instead of all this lollipop stuff going on outside with Judaism, Christianity, Islam, the isms and the schisms, Hinduism, Buddhism, this ism, national Christian nationalism, Zionism, political Zionism. We've got all the isms you want and the schisms. And those who are part of that stuff, they have no idea what is going down because of all that theology and eschatology is totally false. And that's why they're fighting really against God. They don't even know it because He has an order of events to happen right now. And right now, we are out of alignment as Jews and Christians who support Israel and all of these things. I love the Jewish people and I love the Christians, but it's time to get real with the Jewish people and the Christians. Instead of all of this candy land stuff that you're seeing out here that is just disgusting, actually, because people are cowtowing because they don't want to offend anybody. Well, keep being offended, is what I tell everybody.

So, Peter is saying to all of us, be careful with Paul. He gives him credit. He said, "Beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you and also the epistles, speaking in them of these things in which some things are hard to understand, which untaught..." because he's telling you right now, Paul's very educated with the Torah, the Prophets, the Psalms, and the Gospels. And those who are not, untaught, unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do the rest of the scriptures. Because of their replacement theology, their anti-Semitism, or from the Jewish side, their lack of knowledge as well. I mean, we've got to get serious and get on the right page with the New Testament writers, in this case, Peter, and also Paul as well. So, there you go. There's the warning for all people who are going to watch this video. Now, you know where to go. 2 Peter 3:14-18, and meditate on it, pray into it. And what does that mean to the rest of the scriptures?

Okay, 1 Thessalonians 4. Let's look at that in summary. What does he go through? He's going through the resurrection where the dead rise first, the alive will be caught up with them to meet the Lord in the air. He's talking about the Day of the Lord. When does he say that's going to happen? On the trumpet of God. And if anybody's familiar with this, of course, it means the Feast of Trumpets. That's literal. That's simple. Don't twist it. Don't try to get deeper. It's the Feast of Trumpets. That's pretty amazing. He says, "On the Feast of Trumpets, the Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, with the trumpet of God. And then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air to be hidden in the pavilion of the Lord." To be hidden in the Day of the Lord, not the day of Antichrist. In the pavilion of the Lord. We'll go through that Friday night with the scriptures of Zephaniah, Isaiah 26, and also with the prophet Zephaniah.

1 Thessalonians 5, he continues with the Day of the Lord concept and the trajectory. But concerning, and again, if you're just joining us, just like I said before, there are no chapter breaks. When Paul was writing this, he didn't write 1 Thessalonians 2, 3, 4, and 5. He didn't do that. They were added later. So, take all this chapter break stuff out. It's just a continuing epistle of knowledge for us to understand what he's trying to say concerning the times and the seasons. What does that mean? Well, if one's not familiar with that, the time is only that. It's the calendar only, and the seasons are this right here. Both Greek and Hebrew translations will tell you that. It's the mo'edim, the set apart times. And if anyone who knows these things will tell you this, it's only talking about the times and the seasons on the calendar so that we can understand when this Feast of Trumpets is, or Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, the Feast of Tabernacles. Why? Because Yeshua has to fulfill these. It's not maybe, it's not if. The Jewish Messiah will have to fulfill these prophecies in the Bible. Revelation 19:10 says, "The testimony of Yeshua is the spirit of prophecy." So call them whatever you want, feast days, they're called divine appointments, really, but they're prophecies that He had to fulfill to prove to us that He is the Jewish Messiah. He has to fulfill things, just like He said in Matthew 5:17-20, "Do not think, do not even imagine that I have come to destroy the Torah and the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill." Before heaven and earth pass away. When is that? That's after the millennial kingdom, not before, after the millennial kingdom because He has to fulfill all things. Not one jot or tittle will be excluded till all is established on this earth. That's the prerequisite, everybody. He's got to do this as the Jewish Messiah, or He would be eliminated from being the Jewish Messiah and the King of Israel, the Holy One of Israel, the Son of God, and all these things that we know Yeshua is, that we know Jesus is. But if one doesn't understand this, they're going to be caught as a thief in the night, just like Yahweh has said, or just like the Apostle Paul said through the Holy Spirit concerning the calendar and the feast days in Leviticus 23.

"Brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you know yourselves perfectly that what? The Day of the Lord, not the tribulation, comes as a thief in the night. For when they say peace and safety, then sudden destruction will come upon them." Why? Because they don't... And the Day of the Lord is here, and it'll be like labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And guess what? They will not escape. But you, brethren, all of you out there who know these things, you are not in darkness, so that this day, what day? The tribulation? No, the Day of the Lord shall overtake you as a thief. I mean, come on. Let's get to the Day of the Lord. Quit worrying about the Antichrist. Buckle up. Get your seatbelt on. Get some faith. Get some spirit. Let's go. And worry about the Day of the Lord. I'd be worried about Yeshua, not the Antichrist. You are all sons of the light and sons of the day, all of you who know these things. But if not, even in the night.

So, the Hebrew and the Greek confirm that, just like we showed you the set appointed times on both of them. Look at what Paul says: "Therefore, let us not sleep as others do, but let us watch and be sober." As wise virgins, because the foolish virgins, "I never knew you. I never knew you." And that's what He's going to tell a lot of people, a lot of Christians who think they know Him. "I never knew you because you did not celebrate and proclaim and be on my set appointed times." Let's go to verse number nine, I believe. "For God did not appoint us to wrath." What is He talking about? Is He talking about the tribulation? No, He is not. There's nowhere in 1 Thessalonians 4 or 5 that He mentions the seven-year tribulation period. He just does not. "For God did not appoint us to wrath." That's the Day of the Lord. That's what He's talking about is the Day of the Lord, "but to obtain salvation through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah." Amen and amen and amen.

As we continue forward in 2 Thessalonians 1, we'll go to the highlighted areas. He's talking again about the Day of the Lord. He's not changing when he rewrote when he wrote back to the Thessalonians. He did not change these things at all. He did not. And then look at what he says, pointing to the Day of the Lord, "in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God or His appointed times, and those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah," which again is the appointed times as well. "These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of His power when He comes, when in that day, the Day of the Lord, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed." Amen, amen, and amen.

And then here is the finality of the teaching that I believe Paul wants us to understand. "Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, on the Feast of Trumpets, to pour out His 10-day wrath and the gathering together to Him, that means the resurrection and the Day of the Lord is at the same time, not seven years before, not three and a half years before. Let's get serious. It's on the Day of the Lord. Let no one deceive you by any means, please. For that the Day of the Lord will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the son of man, or the son, excuse me, the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition." That tells you what, my friends. That tells you that again, if the gathering of the Lord, excuse me, if the coming of the Lord and the gathering of the saints is at one time, and Paul tells you that that's not going to happen until the Antichrist is revealed, then that means the resurrection is not going to come until after the Antichrist is revealed because they happen together at one time, just like he says in the beginning of this chapter. So, let's get serious. Who opposes and exalts that he is God. So again, you're going to witness all of that before the resurrection and the coming of the Lord. Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, the Archangel Michael, Daniel 12, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he now who restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. That's the Day of the Lord on the Feast of Trumpets to Yom Kippur. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, when he indwells him at the three-and-a-half-year mark when he falls like lightning from heaven with all power, signs, lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those saved. And for this reason, God will send them a strong delusion that they that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. My friends, I mean, this is about as serious as you can get. If you love mankind, if you love Jews, if you love Gentiles, if you love Christians, if you love whoever, this is super important because He tells you that everybody's going to be here for the seven-year tribulation period. I mean, that's what Paul says. The Day of the Lord is when He returns. Only once. Nowhere in the scriptures does it say, "I return seven years to get you, or seven years before the Day of the Lord to get you, or three and a half years before the Day of the Lord to get you." No, "I get you out," is what Paul's saying and what Yeshua is about to tell us. After the tribulation, the Day of the Lord, and 10 days of awe, and will be hidden in the pavilion of the Most High.

So, my friends, that is what the Apostle Paul, the trajectory that he was on to help us all understand to get a spirit of sound mind, a spirit of love, not a spirit of fear. And personally speaking, that's what I see out there amongst unfortunately some of the Jewish people and unfortunately some of the Christians as well. Spirit of fear, "Please get me out. Please get me out. Rapture, rapture, rapture." Why are we worried about the rapture? Let's do the Great Commission until He comes. Right? And it's going to be on the Feast of Trumpets when He returns for second coming events to hide us in the pavilion of the Most High. Amen and amen and amen.
