Yahushua, who is commonly referred to as Jesus, is prophesied throughout Scripture regarding his 1st advent. He is prophesied throughout the Torah, the prophets, and books now regarded as apocryphal, although many of these apocryphal books were in the original 1611 King James Bible. It should be impossible for those reading Scripture honestly to miss that He is the Messiah and has come as described in the Gospels, and will come again.
Along with prophesies of Yahushua, the other two most prominent prophesies in Scripture are the second exodus and the Day of YaHuWaH, commonly known as “The Day of the Lord.” The Day of YaHuWaH is the Judgment that YaHuWaH, the true Father and Creator, will render on the entire earth before the 1000 year millennial reign of Yahushua from Jerusalem. Many believe this great and terrible Day of Judgment is nigh at hand. The apostle Paul tells that we should know the season that we are in when this time is upon us, and Yahushua tells us in the Gospels to be on watch for that day. In the last 5 verses of Mark chapter 13, Yahushua tells us 4 times to watch!
There is a particular aspect about the Day of YaHuWaH that is overlooked by the Christian church that this writing will focus on. The Christian church of today has been taught that there will be a rapture, or a catching away, and that they will not be falling under Judgment. The verses I will bring out say otherwise though. I believe there is a catching away to the shamayim, or heaven, but heaven does not become a permanent dwelling for those who are caught up. This catching away will be covered later.
It is not of great importance, but rather of all importance, to know why Judgment will come upon all the earth and what the fate will be for those upon whom Judgement will fall. The entirety of Isaiah chapter 24 is a terrifying vision of His Judgment on the earth but of particular importance in this chapter are the following verses:
“3) the earth is completely emptied and utterly plundered, for YaHuWaH has spoken this word. 4) The earth shall mourn and wither, the world shall languish and wither, the haughty people of the earth shall languish. 5) For the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torot, changed the law, broken the everlasting covenant. 6) Therefore a curse shall consume the earth, and those who dwell in it be punished. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth shall be burned, and few men shall be left.” (Isaiah 24:3-6)
Judgment comes specifically because of the transgression of the Torah. Torot is plural, meaning the laws, statutes, and commandments contained within the Torah. 1 John 3:4 defines sin as the transgression of the Torah. Where the word Torot appears, the Hebrew word is Strongs H 8451 “torah” or “tora” meaning: direction, instruction, law. The Christian church believes en masse that the “law” or Torah has been done away with since Messiah’s first coming, but according to this prophecy, this covenant is an everlasting one. The Hebrew word where we see “everlasting” is Strongs H 5769 “olam” meaning: for ever, ever, everlasting, evermore, continuous existence, perpetual, indefinite, or unending future. This covenant, the Mosaic law, is perpetual and everlasting, and did not become irrelevant with Messiah’s first advent and Judgment will fall on those who make the mistake of believing this false doctrine perpetuated by the Christian church. Where we see the word “covenant,” the Hebrew word is Strongs H 1285 “berith,” or “b’rit” meaning: covenant, alliance, pledge, specifically between the Almighty and man. Another place where we see this word “berith” appear is in Psalms:
“My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of My lips.” (Psalm 89:34)
He does not state that His covenant He will not break up until the time that Messiah comes, but simply that He will not change it, period. As well, He also tells us in Malachi the following:
“For I am YaHuWaH, I shall not change, and you, O sons of Jacob, shall not come to an end.” (Malachi 3:6)
I recently heard it said by someone defending the Christian faith that although it reads this in Malachi 3:6, His instructions can change. If His instructions can change, and do change, then the word of those speaking this trump the actual word of YaHuWaH in Psalms 89:34. Also, if His instructions do change(although He doesn’t change), than His instructions must have been imperfect to begin with. Another place in Isaiah where we see end time Judgment in connection with the specific transgression of the Torah is in chapter 66:
“15) For look, YaHuWaH comes with fire and with His chariots, like a whirlwind, to render His displeasure with burning, and His rebuke with flames of fire. 16) For by fire and by His sword YaHuWaH shall judge all flesh, and the slain of YaHuWaH shall be many-17) those who set themselves apart and cleanse themselves at the gardens after ‘one’ in their midst, eating flesh of pigs and the abomination and the mouse, are snatched away, together, declares YaHuWaH.” (Isaiah 66:15-17)
Notice in verse 17 the bit about those eating the flesh of pigs. Eating swine is a direct violation of the dietary laws in Leviticus, the Torah. If the law were done away with with Yahushua’s first advent, Judgment would not be falling on those who are in violation of this particular aspect of Torah.
I believe the Scriptures tell us that a second exodus will take place when Judgment comes. How exactly this plays out I do not know, but we are told in many verses throughout the prophets that a regathering will take place and His people will be brought into the land of Israel. There is a very interesting passage from the book of 2nd Esdras, which is a book found in the original 1611 KJV and the Cepher. There is a scenario in chapter 2 of this book which I believe describes the culmination of the 2nd exodus in Mount Tsiyon. There are many passages in the canon describing a regathering/exodus with the destination being Tsiyon and here is what takes place when this destination is reached:
“38) Arise up and stand, behold the number of those that be sealed in the Feast of YaHuWaH; 39) Which are departed from the shadow of the world, and have received glorious garments of YaHuWaH. 40) Take your number, O Tsiyon, and shut up those of yours that are clothed in white, and have fulfilled the Torah of YaHuWaH. 41) The number of your children, whom you longed for, is fulfilled: beseech the power of YaHuWaH, that your people, which have been called from the beginning, may be hallowed. 42) I Ezra saw upon Mount Tsiyon a great people whom I could not number, and they all praised YaHuWaH with songs. 43) And in the midst of them there was a young man of high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon everyone of their heads he set crowns, and was more exalted; which i marvelled at greatly. 44) So i asked the angel, and said, Sir, what are these? 45) He answered and said unto me, These be they that have put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the Name of Elohiym: now they are crowned and receive palms. 46) Then I said unto the angel, what young person is it that crowns them, and gives them palms in their hands? 47) So he answered and said unto me, it is the Son of Elohiym, whom they have confessed in the world. Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the Name of YaHuWaH.” (2nd Esdras 2: 38-47)
This is an amazing and compelling passage of Scripture. Notice in verse 40 where those that find themselves in Tsiyon at this crowning ceremony have fulfilled the Torah of YaHuWaH. This is the main point in bringing these verses out. Is it safer to take the position that the Torah has been done away with or to simply be a doer of His word as it reads in James chapter 1? Yahushua also tells us in several verses in John that His teaching is not His, but His who sent Him. The One who sent Him is the Father, YaHUWaH, and His teaching is the Torah. Also of interest here is the fact that this is a great multitude that Ezra could not number, they are clothed in white, and they receive palm branches from Yahushua at the ceremony. Consider how this correlates with Revelation 7:9:
“After this I looked and saw a great multitude which no one was able to count, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and palm branches in their hands.” (Rev. 7:9)
Here they stand before the throne, which is in the heaven/shamayim as we’re told in Revelation 4:2. This depicts a catching away I believe because this same group was in Mount Tsiyon, where they received the palm branches, and are then in heaven where it reads that they have the palm branches. As well, they are clothed in white and it is described as a great multitude that no one could number. So, based on this I believe that there is a catching away/rapture that takes place after the tribulation and after the greater exodus.
Also for consideration here is who constitutes this great multitude which no one could count. Ezekiel chapter 37 gives us a clue:
“12) Therefore prophesy, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Master YaHuWaH’, “See, O My people, I am opening your burial sites and shall bring you up from your burial sites, and shall bring you into the land of Israel. 13) And you shall know that I am YaHuWaH, when I open your burial sites, My people, and bring you up from your burial sites. 14) And I shall put My spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall settle you in your own land. And you shall know that I YaHuWaH have spoken, and I have done it.” declares YaHuWaH.'” (Ezekiel 37:12-14)
Could this be the dead being raised, as Paul writes about in Corinthians and Thessalonians, who are then caught up with Yahushua in the clouds? Could this raising of the dead, to be settled in the land, be a part of this great multitude as described by Ezra in 2nd Esdras and John in Revelation who are a part of the exodus who wind up in Tsiyon and then the heaven?
Another major aspect and question of eschatology is what the mark of the beast is? Should we be able to glean from Scripture what the mark of the beast is? Let us briefly examine the work of Ron Wyatt. In January of 1982, Ron Wyatt of Nashville, TN, found the Ark of the Covenant beneath the site of the crucifixion in Jerusalem. This finding was the culmination of a three year excavation at this site. If you are not familiar with Wyatt’s work, please find videos of his discoveries on any video platform. There are four videos profiling his work on my youtube channel: seek wisdom over gold. After his initial finding of the Ark, Ron made a follow up visit to it and encountered four messengers/angels who told him that the mark of the beast law would be a “Sunday law.” This means that this future law would require people to break the 4th commandment, being the keeping of the Sabbath day, for Sunday. How this might come about could be through a “crisis” such as climate change/global warming, but this is speculation. Ron is on video stating that if you keep the Ten commandments, you will receive the seal of God; and if you break this future law requiring the breaking of His covenant, that you will receive the mark of the beast. We are told from the Torah that the keeping and guarding of His commandments is His seal between the eyes(the forehead) and as a sign on the hand. The true Sabbath day is Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. In Deuteronomy chapter 5, the ten commandments are reiterated and in the next chapter we are told the following:
“6) And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart, 7) and you shall impress them upon your children, and shall speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up, 8) and shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.” (Deuteronomy 6:6-8)
I have heard it said that the mark of the beast is any other contract than this. One is either sealed by YaHuWaH or is marked by the beast. As well, Revelation also seems to confirm this in chapter 14:
“9) And a third messenger followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark upon his forehead or upon his hand, 10) he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Elohim, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His wrath. And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone before the set-apart messengers and before the Lamb. 11) And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. And they have no rest day or night, those worshipping the beast and his image, also if anyone receives the mark of his name.” 12) Here is the endurance of the set-apart ones, here are those guarding the commandments of YaHuWaH and the faith of Yahushua.” (Rev. 14:9-12)
Verse 12 differentiates a group from those who have received the mark of the beast, and the characteristics of this group is clear: They guard the commandments of the Father, AND they have the faith in Messiah. This is food for thought and consideration as we see these days upon us.
At the end of this writing is a video testimony of a Romanian man named Dumitru Duduman. Duduman gives his testimony, translated by his grandson, and at the end testifies that a messenger/angel told him that America is Babylon as prophesied in Scripture and that America will burn. Dudman said he would not speak of this unless he was given Scriptures to back up this claim. He was given the Scriptures of Jeremiah chapter 51 and Revelation 18. I have read Jeremiah chapters 50 and 51 several times and whatever land that is being prophesied is utterly annihilated. Verse after verse of relentless destruction upon Babel, or Babylon, is written. I have heard it said that these chapters are referring to ancient Babylon but there are two problems with that. One, there are many verses within both of these chapters that reference the second exodus, an end time prophecy. And two, it speaks of this land of Babylon being destroyed and not being inhabited again. Ancient Babylon, modern day Iraq, is inhabited. Some verses from these chapters in Jeremiah which indicate this could be referring to America are as follows:
“How the hammer of all the earth has been cut off and broken! How Babel has become a ruin among the nations!” (Jeremiah 50:23)
The reference to Babel being a hammer is of interest. There are many cultures and countries in our fallen world that are oppressive and totalitarian, but America is unique in its imperialism. America has imposed itself upon many countries around the world and used subversive methods to undermine them financially, socially, diplomatically, and politically. The 1985 film The Falcon And The Snowman starring Timothy Hutton is the true story of a young man named Christopher Boyce who was recruited to work for the CIA and discovered they were covertly influencing and undermining elections in other countries. Boyce saw this as predatory and so turned and gave secrets to the Russians about these operations. Also, for more information on this covert imperialism see the book “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” by John Perkins. As well, invasions of countries such as Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, and many more is an imperialism not witnessed by other countries in this world.
“See, I am against you, O proud one!” declares the master YaHuWaH of hosts, for your day has come, the time of your punishment.” (Jeremiah 50:31)
There is a pride and belief in American superiority that permeates this culture. This is not to say I don’t appreciate and am not grateful for the freedoms afforded by living in America my whole life. I do, but that doesn’t mean the Master is not referring to America when he says “O proud one.”
“A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mixed peoples who are in her midst, and they shall become like women. A sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be plundered.” (Jeremiah 50:37)
The mixed peoples in her midst…America is historically known as “the great melting pot” for this exact reason.
“You who dwell upon many waters, great in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your greedy gain.” (Jeremiah 51:13)
America has historically had great wealth relative to the other countries of the world. As of 2021, America came in at number 1 in the world in terms of total wealth, possessing nearly 1/3 of the world’s wealth. Incredible, considering there are over 200 countries in the world. Based on this, could this verse be referring to America?
Revelation chapter 18 describes destruction upon Babel/Babylon in which the merchants of the earth mourn because they had grown rich through her. It also describes how the nations have gone mad through their dealings with her. For one, Hollywood is a powerful form of mind control and sorcery presented as entertainment. Hollywood entertainment has been exported throughout the world and is the biggest source of it. I recommend reading Jeremiah chapters 50-51 carefully, as well as Revelation chapter 18 and see what parallels you see as possibly referring to America. One of the biggest ways in which poison has been exported from America is in the form of vaccination, especially the “Covid-19 vaccine,” which many know not to be a vaccine at all, but rather a sophisticated biological weapon masquerading as a vaccine. The three main pharmaceutical companies/vaccine manufacturers responsible for creating, distributing, and exporting this biological weapon are Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson. All of these companies happen to be headquartered here in America. Considering this, consider this verse from Revelation 18:
“And the light shall not shine in you any more at all. And the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you any more at all. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your drug sorcery all the nations were led astray.” (Rev. 18:23)
Where we see drug sorcery appear here, most English Bibles render it as sorcery. The greek word associated with this is Strongs G 5331 “pharmakeia” meaning: magic, sorcery, enchantment. This comes from Strongs G 5332 “pharmakeus” meaning: druggist, poisoner, magician, sorcerer, medicine man. This is exactly from where we get the words pharmacy, pharmaceutical, Big Pharma, etc. Our entire medical industry is rooted in this drug sorcery and vaccination is the flagship product of it. Vaccines, all of which are biological weapons designed to eventually destroy the immune system, are primarily exported around the world from America and American pharmaceutical companies. This is another form of imperialism, masquerading as medicine, and another way in which America could be considered the hammer of all the earth. Per Rev. 18:23, there is no other country in the world that is more responsible than America for exporting and imposing vaccination upon the world. It is drug sorcery that has done nothing but damage to humanity over the decades. And if you are reading this and have gotten this far, I probably don’t need to go into detail about how this country is being driven down the path of satanism in the form of LGBTQ madness and transgenderism insanity. There is no reason for it of course, other than that it is spiritual warfare and not enough Americans have the stomach to stand up to it and reject it en masse. Consider the testimony by Dumitru Dudman below for more on this. Considering the times we’re living in, take to heart this verse from Zephaniah:
“Seek YaHuWaH, all you meek ones of the earth, who have done His right ruling. Seek righteousness, seek meekness, if so be that you are hidden in the Day of wrath of YaHuWaH.” (Zephaniah 2:3)
