Messianic Kingdom
Isaiah 2 and Micah 4
Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
Messianic Kingdom
Many people shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up
to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Messianic Kingdom
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.
Millennial Kingdom
Revelation 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and
judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the
souls of those who had been beheaded for their
witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not
worshiped the beast or his image, and had not
received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands.
And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand
years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until
the thousand years were finished. This is the first
resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in
the first resurrection. Over such the second death has
no power, but they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

CHURCH
The church is
spiritual Israel, in
continuity with true
Israel of Old
Testament. The
Jews who rejected
Christ are apostate
from “God’s Israel,
the Church” The
Modern Nation is
no different than
any other national
entity.
The church is the
spiritual people of
God (Jews and
Gentiles who
believe the Gospel)
As a group they are
distinct from
National Israel, the
physical people of
God. Modern
Israel is a fulfillment
of Dispensational
Bible Prophecy.

1. Nation against Nation, Kingdom against Kingdom -Major
world wide conflict that begin the End Times or Last
Days: World War I & II (1914 ,1939) Matthew 24:7
2. Both World Wars had major Jewish implications, The
Holocaust, & Zionist Movement
3. State of Israel is established in 1948. Israel is established
as a secular nation in unbelief for a future judgment
known as a Time of Jacob's Trouble, The Bibles speaks
of a great gathering of Gentile Armies against Jerusalem.
If this is true then the return of Israel in 1948 is a
significant fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Ezekiel 20:33-35 ,
Ezekiel 22:17 , Zephaniah 2:1
4. Jerusalem the capitol of Israel is under Jewish control
(1967) Daniel 9:27 , Matthew 24:15 2 Thessalonians 2:3 ,
Revelation 11:2
PRESENT DAY EVENTS
•
Israel negotiates peace with Arab neighbors -(This sets
the stage for the Non-Arab invasion of Ezekiel 38 , where
Arab nations will not be involved in this conflict because
of the peace treaty.)
•
Non Arab nations will come against Israel.
• Destruction of Damascus, Syria.
• Babylon (Iraq) will be rebuilt as a major economic
center.
FUTURE EVENTS
•
A Peace treaty with the Arab states will lead into non-Arab
conflict involving an invasion of Israel Ezekiel 38 (RoshRussia) (Cush-Ethiopia) (Meshech-Moscow) (Libya-Put)
(Tubal-Tubalsk,Siberia) (Gomer-Germany) (Persia-Iran)
(Togarmah-Armenia)
•
The One World Government will be established(One Horn) Daniel 7:23
•
One world government divides into ten kingdoms
(Ten Horns) Daniel 7:24a
(Note: The European Union is one of the Ten Toes)
FUTURE EVENTS
4. The Rise of Anti-Christ, (Anti-Messiah who opposes the
real Messiah) is different from the other nations that ruled
the earth. Some believe the Anti-Messiah will serve as a
false Messiah for the Jewish People. This is not the case.
He is the one world leader who takes over the Jewish
Temple and claims himself as God. The Anti-Christ is of
Roman origin, the prince of the people who destroyed the
city. Daniel 7:24b
5. Period of peace and false security 3 1/2 year period of
false peace for Israel. Turmoil for the rest of the world.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-3
FUTURE EVENTS
•
*Blackout Joel 2:31
•
*Return of Eliyahu HaNavi (Elijah the Prophet) the
forerunner of the Messiah. Malachi 5:4-6 , Malachi 3:1 ,

“YESHUAT HASHEM KEHEREF AYIN”
THE SALVATION OF GOD
COMES IN THE
BLINK OF AN EYE
New Testament Saints - All believers in the Messiah,
after the cross. The Church is composed of Believing
Jews and Gentiles beginning at Acts Chapter 2 until the
Rapture.
The fact is that the Messiah can come at any time to
gather the New Testament Saints. There are no
preconditions for the "catching away of believers". If
Messiah comes in the middle of the tribulation or the end
then we would know exactly when he is coming and then
we would get ready. The scriptures teach that the
Messiah will come secretly before the wrath. The
Second Coming is exactly seven years after the signing
of the covenant with the Anti-Christ, but the rapture
could happen at any moment.
The Rapture of Believers
1. The Rapture can come at any moment, Matthew 24:42,44 , Luke 12:35
2. Mansions are being prepared for believers John 14:1-3
3. Believers will meet the Messiah in the air (dead ones will rise first)
1Thessalonians 4:13-18
4. Believers receive glorified bodies 1 Corinthians 15:50-58
5. Believers are delivered from the wrath to come 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10
6. Yeshua will come secretly before the wrath Luke 21:36 , 1 Thessalonians
5:1-10
7. The Shofar (Trumpet) of Righteousness blown 1 Corinthians 15:52
8. There are normal conditions on the earth Matthew 24:38-44
The Rapture of Believers
1. Note that the Church is not mentioned at anytime
during the Wrath in the book of Revelations,
2. The church is heavily mentioned during the first three
chapters,
3. The Church is not mentioned until after the wrath in
Revelation. 19:11-16
4. There are believers during the tribulation period, but
these are not “Church” saints, these become
believers after the church has been removed.

4. There are believers during the tribulation period, but

The Rapture of Believers
There are believers present during the entire
tribulation period. In fact the purpose of the
tribulation is to bring people to faith by means
of God's wrath, and cause them to cry out the
Messiah. The Church is not mentioned in any
tribulation passage. The elect, believers,
tribulation saints who come to Messiah after
the rapture exist, but the Church is not
mentioned in any passage.
The Opponents of the Rapture
1. Some see the “Church” as Israel, because
Israel is mentioned in the tribulation
passages, therefore the church is too.
2. Some see the tribulation period as a time
of “Great Signs and Wonders” and believers
must experience these things.
3. Some see these events as if they have
already happened. The 70 AD destruction
of Jerusalem have already fulfilled the
tribulation passages.
4. Some see these passages as allegorical.
Daniel 2:32 God Reveals Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream
This image’s
•head was of fine gold,
•its chest and arms of silver,
•its belly and thighs of bronze,
•its legs of iron,
•its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.
32
34
You watched while a stone was cut out without
hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and
clay, and broke them in pieces.
“This is the dream. Now we will tell the
interpretation of it before the king.
36
37
You, O king,
….you are this head of gold.
39
But after you shall arise another kingdom
inferior to yours; then another, a third
kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all
the earth. 40 And the fourth kingdom shall be
as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks
in pieces and shatters everything; and like
iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in
pieces and crush all the others.

kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
