REASONS WHY I BELIEVE A MIDTRIBULATION RAPTURE

Matthew 24 Hebraic Roots Bible

RED LETTER EDITION

and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes against many places. 8 But all these are a beginning of sorrows. (While the above things are taking place, there will also be ongoing persecution towards gods true believers. There will be killings of those who will not forsake their faith as clearly stated here in verse 9. This also depicts that jesus believers are still on earth when these persetutions takes place). 9 Then they will deliver you up to affliction, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10 And then many will be offended, and they will deliver up one another and will hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will be raised and will deceive many. (The love of many here are those gods believers who, because of lawlessnes, and persecutions many will turne away from god and bend to the will of the antichrist. This is also translated as falling away AS WRITEN IN KJV, AND REBELLION AS WRITTEN IN NIV VERSION. THIS IS IN REFERNCE TO VERSE 12 ). 12 And because lawlessness shall have been multiplied, the love of the many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end, that one will have eternal life . 14 And this good news of the Kingdom shall be published in all the earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

1 And going out, Yahshua left the sanctuary. And His disciples came to show Him the construction of the sanctuary. 2 But Yahshua said to them, Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, There will not at all be left one stone on a stone which in no way will not be thrown down. 3 And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? And, what is the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age? 4 And answering, Yahshua said to them, See that no man deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, I am the Messiah. And they will cause many to be deceived. 6 For you are bound to hear of revolutions and rumor of wars. Watch out and do not be disturbed, for it is necessary that all these things happen, but it is not yet the end. 7 For nation will be raised against nation and kingdom against kingdom;

15 And when you see the sign of uncleanness and desolation, that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, which will stand in the holy place. He that reads let him understand. 13 But the one who endures to the end, that one will have eternal life. 14 And this good news of the Kingdom shall be published in all the earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Dan. 11:31; Dan. 12:11) (Verse 15 deals with the event that will take place in the middle of the 7 year peace agreement as this is will be the time that the antichrist will be revealed). 16 Then let those in Judea flee into the mountains; 17 the one on the roof, let him not go down to take anything out of his house; 18 and the one in the field, let him not turn back to take his garment. 19 But woe to the ones having a child in womb, and to those nursing in those days! 20 And pray that your flight will not occur in winter nor on the Sabbath. (verses 16-20 clearly shows how jesus himself warn his people to flee to the mountains). 21 For there will be great suffering, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be 22 And except those days were

shortened, not any flesh would live. But on account of the chosen, those days will be shortened. (verse 22 indicates what an unimaginable great sufferings and persecution not yet experienced or seen by man are being experienced by many including gods believers, will take place during the remaining second 3-1/2 years that Jesus said, if this time of suffering is not cut short, no one among Jesus believers or elect/chosen , will live. For sure jesus will not shorten the 7 year period, but the sufferings of his elect). 23 Then if anyone says to you, Behold, here is the Messiah! Or, Here! Do not believe. 24 For false Messiahs and false prophets will rise up. And they will give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen. 25 Behold, I tell you beforehand. 26 Then if they say to you, Behold, He is in the wilderness; do not go out. Behold, He is in the inner rooms; do not believe. 27 For as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines as far as the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 For wherever the dead body may be, there the eagles will be gathered. 29 And immediately after the suffering of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the heavens. And then all the tribes of the land will wail. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and much glory. (Dan. 7:13) (it is In this verse 30that jesus clearly announce his appearance during the rapture. We can therefore safely conclude that there is no pre-tribulation and posttribulation period that will take place.but a mid-tribulation period. 31 And He will send His cherubs with a great sound of a large trumpet, and they will gather His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. (1 Cor 15:52) 32 But learn the parable of the fig tree1 when its branch becomes tender and it puts out leaves, you know that the summer is near; 33 so also you, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the doors. 34 Truly I say to you, In no way will this generation pass away until all these things have occurred. 35 The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My Words will not pass away, never! 36 But as to that day and that hour, no one knows, neither the cherubs of Heaven, except My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as they were in the days before the flood eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah went into the ark2.

39 And they did not know until the flood came and took all away. So also will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 At that time two will be out in the field; the one is taken away, and the one is left; 41 two grinding at the mill; one is taken away, and one is left3. 42 Be alert, then, for you do not know in what hour your Master comes. 43 But know this, that if the house Master had known in what watch the thief comes, he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be dug through. 44 Because of this, you also be ready, for in that hour you think not, the Son of Man comes. 45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant whom his Master has set over His household, to give to them the food in season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his Master shall find so doing when He comes. 47 Truly I say to you, He will set him over all He owns. 48 But if that wicked slave says in his heart, My Master delays to come, 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and to drink with the ones drinking, 50 The master of that slave will come in a day in which he does not expect and in an hour which he does not know, 51 and will cut him in two, and will appoint his portion with the

hypocrites. There will be

is the fig tree (Jer 24:1-8, 29:17) The creating of a sovereign nation of Israel would mark the beginning of the end times and all would happen in one generation, verse 34. 2 This is indicating that there is a time in the end when true believers need to separate completely from the world and sanctify themselves as Noah did when he entered
