Well are you ready to get in YAH's Word today?  I am as well. I want you to open your Bibles   with me to Colossians chapter 2, we're going to  begin with verse 16 in just a moment and I'm   calling this message today "Yom Teruah: Rehearsing  Messiah's Return." All right so, all of the feasts are   rehearsals. Of course, Yeshua fulfilled all of the  spring feasts and the fall feasts represent what   He's going to do when He comes in His second  coming, so we're going to be rehearsing those   events in our fall festivals. So we're gonna  start with Colossians chapter 2 and verse 16   and it says, "Let no one therefore judge you in  eating or in drinking," Talking about celebratory   eating or drinking. "or in respect of a festival,"  That's the feast. "or a new moon or Sabbaths," Look   at verse 17. "which are a shadow of what is to come."  So our festivals, the new moons, and the Sabbaths   all picture something. I just mentioned a moment  ago that the festivals all pertain to Yeshua and   what He would accomplish in His first coming and  then in His second coming. The new moons represent   resurrection. How many of you are excited about  the prospect that when Yeshua returns you are   going to be resurrected, amen? That's a wonderful  thought and it's a truth. And then, the Sabbaths  of course, all of our weekly Sabbaths point to the  establishment of the Millennial Kingdom. So   six days of human labor, a day to the Master's like  a thousand years, a thousand years as a day that's   written in Psalms, it's also quoted again in one  of the letters of Peter, and so there's been six   thousand years of human labor if you track back  all the genealogies from present all the way back   to Adam you'll see it's right at 6000 years  so that represents six days what comes after   the sixth day? The seventh day. Alright? And what is  the seventh day? It is the Millennial Kingdom and   it is a literal Kingdom of a thousand years where  Yeshua will rule and reign from Yerushalayim, this   earth, for a thousand years of Shalom. So  that's why if you move the Sabbath day to Sunday,   or Monday, or Wednesday, or Thursday you totally  destroy the prophetic picture, we have to leave   the pictures alone. The Sabbath has always been  the seventh day and it will always be the seventh   day. As a matter of fact, the scripture tells us in  the prophetic passages that we are going together   to worship YAH from new moon to new moon and  from Sabbath to Sabbath. So we have the Sabbath,   originally it's established in creation, we see it  run through all of the Hebrew Scriptures, we see   it also in the Apostolic Writings but because of  religious teaching it's not as clear as it should   be but we see it again then in the Millennial  Kingdom and beyond, and so don't think that it   was in the Almighty's plan that in this little  sliver of time, in the middle, that the Sabbath   was to be abolished or the Sabbath was to be moved  to some other day. It makes absolutely no biblical   sense. That's what religion does, can you say amen?  What are we going to be talking   about today? We're talking about Yom Teruah - "Yom"  being the day of and "Teruah" the day of soundings   and this is a day that we find written of in  Leviticus chapter 23 and verse 23. Let's take   a look at that. It says, "And YAH spoke to Mosheh,"  Or Moses. "saying, "Speak to the children of Israel,""   How many of you have been born again? How many of  you know that you've been grafted into Israel?   So whenever it says, speak to the children  Israel you need to pay attention. Speak to the   children of Israel saying, in the seventh new moon,  or in the seventh biblical month on the first day   of the new moon you have a rest, that's a special  Sabbath, an annual Sabbath, a remembrance of Torah.   In other words, remember to make soundings.This is  a day written in the scripture where the Almighty   wants His people to make a lot of noise, to make  a lot of noise. It's a day of noise, it's a day   of shouting, it's a day of blessing to shofar, it's  a day of making soundings, a remembrance of Teruah.   It is a set-apart gathering. Now that word in  Hebrew is, it means a rehearsal - so all   of the feasts are rehearsals. So think about it,  all of those years the Hebrew people had these   rehearsals and when they were in the spring feast,  they were rehearsing when Yeshua would come in His   first appearing and then when they got to the  fall, they were rehearsing what would take place   when Yeshua came back in His second appearing. These are rehearsals and so Yom Teruah is a   rehearsal, it's important for the body of Messiah  to know what we are rehearsing. We are rehearsing   the second appearing of Yeshua. Now think about it,  He's going to come back with what a shout and the   voice of an archangel and the what? Shofar blast  of YAH. So what are we supposed to be doing on Yom   Teruah? Rehearsing that by shouting and blowing the  shofar the Bible is filled with significance, it's   only religion that robs the scripture of its true  meaning and significance, amen? So we're supposed to   remember to rule on that day. We're supposed to  have a rehearsal, a rehearsal of Messiah's return.   And then it says in verse 25, "You do no servile  work," It is a special Sabbath and you shall bring   an offering made by fire to YAH. So we've talked  about this being a rehearsal of Messiah's return.   So I want to get right into the Brit Hadashah are what's called the Apostolic writings or   the New Testament and take a look at what is  written there concerning the second coming of   Yeshua. Let's go to 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 and  pick up with verse 1 and it says, "As to the coming   of our Master Yeshua Messiah and our gathering  together to Him," The coming of our   Master Yeshua Messiah and the gathering of the  bride is the subject of these verses, alright? It   is the context, you have to keep that in mind. So as to the coming, let's talk about   the coming of Yeshua and the bride being gathered  together to Him. Sha'ul says, "We asked you brothers   not to become easily unsettled in mind," In your  mind. "or trouble either by spirit," Something that   spirit, a spirit might say. "or by words," Somebody's  speaking. "or by some letter or by letter." It says,   "as if from us," Obviously somebody had been writing  some forged letters. "as if the day of YAH has come."   So what was the issue here? That somebody was  teaching that the day of YAH had already come   that the day of the Master had already come so Sha'ul  was gonna set the record straight here, he's gonna   let him know - no, the day of the Master has not  come so don't listen to any spirit, don't listen   to any person, don't take to heart any letter  that you might get that's been forged with my   name on it because certain things have to happen  before the day of the Master actually happens.   And so what are those things? Look at verse  3. "Let no one deceive you in any way because the   falling away," Everybody say the falling away. "the  falling away is to come first," Now this is the   great deception that's going to come upon those  who claim to be believers, you can't   fall away from something that you don't have.  You have to possess something to be able to fall   away from that thing so this is talking about  those who consider themselves believers or   you could say those who are part of the  "Church". There's going to be a great deception   that takes place in those days and by the way, it's  already begun, folks. It's already begun. Sha'ul says   the mystery of lawlessness is already in effect  and he said that was happening back in his day   so 2,000 years later it's only gotten stronger,  amen? But it's going to lead up to a a blanket   deception of what's called the "church", so we've got  to pay attention to what Yeshua said when He said,   broad is the way that leads to destruction and  there are many that are on that path but narrow   and difficult is the way that leads to life and  there are few find it. You don't want   to do anything because everybody else is doing it,  you don't want to follow the mainstream doctrines   just because everybody else is doing it. You better  check those things out in the scripture because   Yeshua said narrow and difficult, hard-pressed is  the way that leads to life and there are few who   find it. So if you're gonna find life you're  gonna be with the few. Amen, go ahead and   say amen. It goes down easier when you say amen.  Alright. The falling away must come first. We're   not talking about a small falling away, we're not  talking about some small obscure group of people,   we're talking about a very large body of people  who claim to be believers in the church. Now, we   already see a lot of that taking place, now we have  whole denominations that are completely forsaking   what the scripture says about certain abominations  and they are not shaping the culture but they're   being shaped by the culture and they're turning  away from the scripture, can you say amen? So it's   happening already, the stage is being said. "the  falling away is to come first and the man of   lawlessness is to be revealed," And isn't interesting  that Yeshua is defined in the scripture as the   Righteous One but the anti-messiah is defined as  the lawless one? The Righteous one obeyed completely   and he said follow me, the lawless one lives like  there is no law because, in essence, he wants to be   the law, he wants to be Elohim, and so there's two  camps that I see in the world - those who follow   Yeshua, who are walking in righteousness and  who are obeying the scripture and those who say -   oh, there is no law when when Yeshua died He did  away with the law. You cannot support that idea   whatsoever in Scripture. You have to cherry-pick  a very small portion of Scripture, what I call the   little sliver in the back of the book to be able  to come up with a doctrine like that but it is   a doctrine of convenience and it does please the  flesh. We like to hear there are no laws because we   want to live the way we want to live, but again,  you cannot support it in Scripture. Can you say   good amen? So the man of lawlessness is going  to be revealed it says. So the implication is that   those who claim to be believers in Messiah will  fall away from the law of Elohim because they're   going to be quick to follow the lawless one.  Just think about the spiritual environment when   the lawless one arrives and so many people think  he's Messiah, anti-messiah doesn't mean that he's   just against Messiah, anti-messiah means he wants  to be Messiah, he sets himself up as Messiah, not   just that he's out preaching against Messiah, he  wants to be Messiah and so we need to be very very   careful because in these last days the difference  between light and darkness is not going to be so   great that everybody can tell very easily. It's  the deception that's going to exist, people are   not going to be able to discern the difference  between light and darkness because we're going   to read here in this passage and in others that  that when the anti-messiah arrives he's going to   come with all power of Satan with false miracles  and signs and wonders and the deception is going   to be tremendously great. That's why if you don't  have a love of the truth now then you are postured   to be deceived later. Amen. You cannot get your word  once a week by going to church, listening to some   pastor. If that's all you're getting, your postured  for deception. It is time now to start studying   the scripture out for yourself, can you say amen?  And we've always encouraged you to do that when I   bring a word it's to wet your appetite, make you  go home and study it out if I make you mad about something I said. If I challenge your tradition you have  to go home and study it out because brother Gary   must have been wrong about that. Well go ahead,  I don't care why you study, I don't care   what the motive is, try to prove me wrong if you  want, just study. Amen? "and the man of lawlessness   is to be revealed, the son of destruction,"  Well he's going to be destroyed and everybody   that follows him. Notice. "who opposes and exalts  himself above all that is called Elohim or that   is worshiped," He wants to be worshipped. He's full  of Satan and Satan wanted to exalt himself above   Elohim, isn't that right? And Satan even said to Yeshua out in the wilderness, I'll give you all the   kingdoms of the world if you'll just bow down  and worship me. So do you hear the hiss of the   serpent right here? I mean, the anti-messiah is gonna  have all these same qualities about him, he wants   to exalt himself and he wants to be worshipped. "so that he sits as Elohim in the dwelling place of   Elohim," That's talking about the rebuilt temple. If  you think there's not gonna be another temple   rebuilt on temple mount that's not what scripture  says. There will be another temple on temple mount   in the future and this anti-messiah is going to  establish himself, he's gonna sit as Alohim in   the dwelling place of Elohim showing himself that  he is Elohim. Alright. And that's what's known as   the abomination of desolation spoken of by the  prophet Daniel. Now let's take a break from this   passage and run really quickly over the second  Peter chapter 3 picking up with verse 14 and   then we'll get back to that passage we were in.  Notice what Peter says here. "So then beloved ones   looking forward to this," He was talking about the  new heavens and the new earth where righteousness   dwells. "do your utmost to be found by Him," Found  by Yeshua, talking about when He comes in peace   spotless and blameless. Spotless means without  transgression. Well if there's no law  there's no transgression, so obviously there's  a law because Peter is saying when Yeshua   comes back do your utmost to be found spotless,  and blameless, and reckon the patience of our   Master as deliverance. What does that mean? He's  giving people time to repent. "as also our beloved   brother Sha'ul wrote to you according to the wisdom  given to him," Sha'ul is the Apostle Paul. "as also   in all his letters speaking in  them concerning these matters in which some are   hard to understand," Isn't that interesting that Peter  says in the scripture that some of Paul's writings   are hard to understand? I mean, he's an emissary  himself and he's saying, I admit it, some of this   stuff that Paul writes by the influence of the  Ruach is hard to understand. "which those who are   untaught and unstable to twist to their  own destruction." Now right in Scripture we have a   warning from Peter that people throughout the  generations who are unthought and unstable are   going to twist Paul's writings and make them say  things that Paul didn't say and this twisting is   to their own destruction as they do also the other  scriptures. "you then beloved ones, being forewarned,"   Everybody say forewarned. "watch, lest you also fall  from your own steadfastness being led away with   the delusion of the lawless." So what's the  delusion that will cause the great falling away   of what's called the church and precipitate the  appearance of the anti-messiah? It is the delusion   of the lawless, those who say there is no law that  the law has been abolished, they're under a delusion.   You want to know about what religion will do to  you? It'll make you delusional. The delusion of the   lawless, the delusion of those who say there is no  law. So back to second Thessalonians chapter 2 and   verse 5, "Do you not remember that I told you this  while I was still with you," This is Sha'ul speaking   to those in Thessalonica. "and now you know what  restrains," Now let me help you with this because   it's been taught by religion that the one who  restrains is the Holy Spirit, you've heard that?   The Holy Spirit has to be removed for the anti-messiah to be revealed, that's not what this says.   Look at verse 6. "and now you know what restrains,"  What restraints from what? What restrains the   coming of the Master because that's the context  of these verses. What keeps the Master from coming? "for him, the anti-messiah, to be revealed in his  time." Remember there has to be a falling away   first and then the anti-messiah must be revealed.  Those things have to happen before Messiah comes   back so don't let anybody deceive you and tell  you the day has already happened - that's what   he's saying in context here. Verse 7 "For the secret  or the mystery of lawlessness is already at work   only until he who now restrains," Speaking of the  anti-messiah, he's the one who restrains the coming of   Messiah. "comes out from the midst," He's got to come  out from the midst of the people. Verse 8 "and then   the lawless one shall be revealed." In other words,  you will come to know him, you will see him or he   will be made known. "whom the Master shall consume  with the Spirit of His mouth," That's a quotation   of Isaiah 11 verse 4. "and bring to naught with  the manifestation of His coming." All right. The   Master is gonna do this so when the anti- messiah,  the one many will assume is the Messiah takes his   place on the world stage Yeshua then will return  to destroy him and establish His, the Messiah's,   earthly kingdom. Alright. Look at verse 9. "The coming  of the lawless one," And he's going to deceive the   world including most of what's called the church.  "is according to the working of Satan, Hasatan, with   all power how much power? "and signs, and wonders of  falsehood," Now do you think the nominal believer   who has about an inch worth of depth in the  scripture is going to be able to stand against the   anti-messiah who comes with all power and signs  and wonders of falsehood? Do you think religion   and it's teaching of people is going to be able  to stand against the anti-messiah who comes with   all power, and signs, and wonders of falsehood? You  see, it's going to take a whole lot more than just   being the average "believer" for us to be able  to discern and to navigate through these troubled   times and don't think for a second you get the  get-out-of-jail-free card and Yeshua is going   to come back early and take everybody out that's  walk denial and repeated a prayer and you're going   to get to escape all these troubled times. Again,  that's the teaching of religion it can't be backed   in all the scripture. Now I realize that I just  said some things that have set several of you   in a whirlwind of thought. Well you keep coming,  we'll get to that subject here soon. "The coming of the lawless one is according to  the working of Satan with all power and signs   and wonders of falsehood and with all deceit of  unrighteousness in those perishing he's going to   deceive the masses into unrighteous or lawless  behavior." How? Because they did not receive the   love of the truth. Now Psalm 119:142 says, "Your  righteousness is righteousness for ever and   your Torah is truth or your law is truth and  they did not receive the love of the truth. The   Torah is the foundation for all Scripture. If you  don't have a solid understanding of the Torah, the   first five books of Moses, you will not be able to  interpret scripture correctly and people who just   live out of the little sliver in the back of the  book when they come to certain places that need   a greater depth of understanding of scripture  because they don't have a foundation in Torah,   they use their own natural minds, they try to  process it through what they know in their   own brains, and they end up what? You know what  I say. Making stuff up, and that's what religion   has done over the past 2,000 years. It's made  up a lot of stuff. Alright so you have to have   a love of the truth not a love of tradition  and not a love of religion, can you say amen? "Because they did not receive the love of the truth  in order for them to be saved," Well think about it.   If there's such a great delusion people say well, I  just walked on out and repeated a prayer and I'm saved.   You have to be saved from this delusion that's  coming. You have to be saved from the deception.   You have to be saved from what the anti- messiah  is going to do on the earth and you're only going   to be saved from that not by walking and I'll  and repeating a prayer but by spending time   in God's Word and loving every word. What did Yeshua say when He faced off with the enemy?   Men shall not live by bread alone but by every  word that proceeds from the mouth of YAH and by   the way, at that time when He was facing off with  the enemy, had the Brit Hadashah been written? So   when He said "every word" He was actually making a  reference to all of the original Hebrew Scriptures.   Amen. Now that doesn't mean that the Apostolic  writings are not Scripture, I'm just saying at   that point in time, the Apostolic writings had not  been written, so people that say I just live out   of this little portion in the back, they don't  even realize what Yeshua made reference   to there. Verse 11 "and for this reason," Now this  is really interesting because they didn't love   the truth. "for this reason Elohim sends them a  working of delusion," I'll tell you, if it's not   enough to be deceived by the anti-messiah because  you resisted the Ministry of the Spirit in your   life and you didn't come to a love of the truth  this passage tells us that Elohim turned you over   to deception. "for this reason because you lack  a love of the truth Elohim sends them a working   of delusion for them to believe the falsehood," Oh,  you didn't want to believe the Word? See, the Bible   definition of belief is a belief unto obedience.  You can't separate the two, not in the scripture.   Religion does it, that belief is just a mental  ascension. I just mentally ascend that Jesus is   the Christ but it doesn't have any real impact  on the way I behave, but that's not Bible. Bible   belief always implies obedience to the scripture.  In other words, if you don't obey, you don't really   believe. To say I believe but I don't obey that's  an oxymoron, to say you believe but you don't obey.   All right. To believe is to obey, that's why  James could say in his writings if you have   belief without obedience your belief is dead. As a  matter of fact, he says that kind of belief belief   without obedience cannot save you. You say is that  really in there? Yeah, now go read James, it's there.   So Elohim is going to send a working of delusion  to those who did not love the truth so that they   believed the falsehood. Verse 12 "in order that  all should be judged who did not believe the   truth belief under obedience but have delighted  in the unrighteousness." They have delighted in   Torah less-ness or disobedience. Look at verse 13,  we've got to have a little something positive here.   Verse 13 "But we ought to give thanks to Elohim  always for you brothers beloved of the Master   because Elohim from the beginning chose you to  be saved," It was His purpose and plan that there   would be a body who would believe unto obedience  and aren't you glad you believed and are obeying?   "because Elohim from the beginning chose you to  be saved in set-apartness of Spirit and   belief in the truth unto which He called you by  our good news for the obtaining of the esteem   of our Master Yeshua Messiah." Verse 15 "So then  brothers stand fast," Everybody say, stand fast.   How are you going to keep from getting deceived?  Stand fast. How are you going to be able to stand   against the onslaught of the anti-messiah? Stand  fast. Right? How are you going to keep from being   harmed in some way or another with the power  and the false signs and wonders that are to   come? Stand fast. "So then brothers stand fast and  hold to the traditions," A better way to translate   that is teachings or instructions. "which you were  taught whether by word or by our letter for our   Master Yeshua Messiah Himself and our Elohim and  Father who has loved us and given us everlasting   encouragement and good expectation through favor  encourage your hearts and establish you in what   every good word and work." That means obedience.  Amen? All right. Quickly, let's go to the prophet   Daniel, Daniel chapter 11. We're gonna pick up with  verse 36 because Daniel speaks a lot about the   anti-messiah and we want to know what he had to  say. Daniel 11:36 "And the sovereign or the anti-   messiah shall do as he pleases and exalt himself  and show himself to be great above every mighty   one," So he's going to exalt himself above every  so-called deity. "and speak incredible matters   against the EL of mighty ones or against YAH  Himself," So he's going to be speaking incredible   matters against YAH. "and shall prosper until the  wrath has been accomplished," Because there is   wrath coming for him. "for what has been decreed  shall be done." And then, look at Daniel chapter 9   picking up with verse 27. It says, "Then he (the anti-  messiah) shall confirm a covenant," This is possibly   talking about a peace treaty between Israel and  those who follow Islam. "the anti-messiah shall   confirm a covenant with many for one week," That's  talking about seven years and in the middle of the   week three and a half years into it. "he shall put  an end to slaughtering and meal offering," Okay so,   this appears to be talking about the reality that  the temple had been rebuilt or was in the process   of being rebuilt and the daily offerings, the  morning and evening offerings started up. That's going to be part of the Covenant, the anti-messiah makes is that he's going to allow Israel   to rebuild the temple on Temple Mount and they can  start up their daily sacrifices. Okay so, it's going   to go pretty well for three and a half years but  three and a half years into it, he's going to stop   the daily sacrifices and then things  get really rough. It says, "and on the wing of   abominations he shall lay waste," He's  going to ultimately lead a multinational military   force to Israel to destroy Israel for her defiance  against his decrees. "even until the complete end   and that which is decreed is poured out on the one  who lays waste." There's other things   that we can read about in Daniel concerning the  anti-messiah but let's go to Matthew and let's   find out what Yeshua said about the anti- messiah.  Matthew chapter 24 starting with verse 15, Yeshua   said, "So when you see the abomination that lays  waste," He's quoting Daniel chapter   11 verse 31. "spoken of by Daniel the prophet," He's  talking about the image of the anti-messiah. "set   up in the Set-apart Place, he who reads let him  understand." So when you see the image of the anti-messiah   set up in the Set-apart Place  then you got to be where it's time to act, you   got to move quickly. Verse 16 "Then let those who  are in Yehudah or Judea flee to the mountains. Let   him who is on the housetop not come down to take  whatever out of his house. And let him who is in   the field not turned back to get his garments  and woe to those who are pregnant and to those   who are nursing children in those days," Verse 20  "and pray that your flight does not take place in   winter or on the Sabbath." Isn't that interesting  that Yeshua is telling His disciples pray that   at the end of days, when all these things  happen, that it doesn't fall on the Sabbath so that implies that Yeshua's expecting his  followers to be keeping the Sabbath in the end of   days and I'm not talking about Sunday or Monday  or Thursday, I'm talking about the seventh-day   Bible Sabbath. Amen? Verse 21 "For then there shall  be great distress such as has not been since the   beginning of the world until this time no nor  ever shall be," Verse 22 "and if those days were   not shortened no flesh would be saved but for the  sake of the chosen ones," How many of you want to be   a part of that group? "those days shall be shortened."  Now quickly, we're going to talk about a few events   that take place during that period, we're going  to go to Zechariah chapter 13 and pick up with   verse 7. So the anti-messiah is going to attempt  to destroy the nation of Israel because of her   defiance so he wants to be worshipped, the Jews  are not going to worship Him, they are going to   resist Him in the same way that they did during  the Maccabean Period which was a picture of what's   going to happen here in the end of days when  Antiochus Epiphanes erected a statue of himself   in the Most Set-apart Place and defiled the temple,  and the Maccabees of course rose up and drove out   the enemy invaders and rededicated the temple so  the anti-messiah is going to follow suit. Nothing   new under the sun, he's going to do the same thing.  He's going to let them build the temple because   he wants to be worshipped in the temple so he's  going to go ahead and let him build the temple,   he's going to let him start their sacrifices but  ultimately, he wants to be sacrificed too. So three   and a half years into it he's going to go erect  a statue of himself in the Most Set-apart Place   and he's going to demand that he's worshipped. Well,  the Jews aren't going to worship Him and neither   are the followers of Yeshua and that's going to  infuriate him and he's going to put together a   multinational military force and he's going to  attack Israel, he wants to totally wipe out the   nation of Israel. Zechariah chapter 13 verse 7,  "O sword awake against my shepherd against the   man who is my companion," And this is a prophetic  speaking of Yeshua. "declares YAH Hosts, "Strike the   shepherd and let the sheep be scattered," This  is foretelling the execution of Yeshua. "but I   shall turn my hand upon the little ones." In other  words, there's going to be a judgment of Israel for   rejecting the Messiah. "and it shall be throughout  all the soil or all the land of Israel," declares   YAH, "that two thirds therein are cut off and die  and one-third is left there in," That's the remnant.   "and I shall bring the third into fire and refine  them as silver is refined and try them as gold as   tried, they shall call on my name," Yeshua means "the  salvation of YAH". "they shall call on my name and   I shall answer them. I shall say, "This is my people"  while they say, "YAH is my Elohim."" This   is YAH's purpose for allowing the anti-messiah  to attack Israel, he wants to save the remnant   of Israel. Before you get to thinking  well, you know, only the remnant of Israel is going   to be saved, let me tell you the truth - only the  remnant of the nations will be saved. So you want   to be apart of the remnant. Again, I want to warn  you, don't follow the many. You know that message   I preached? Be aware of the many. It's not about  the many, it's about the remnant. You   want to be a part of the remnant. Hallelujah.  So the purpose that YAH has in allowing the   ante Messiah to attack Israel is so that He could  save the remnant of Israel. And then the scripture   tells us that Jerusalem will be attacked, we see  in Zechariah chapter 12 beginning with verse 2.   "See, I'm making Yerushalayim a cup of reeling to  all the people all around and also against Yehudah,   it is in the siege against Jerusalem," So there's  gonna be a siege against Jerusalem. "and in that   day, it shall be that I make Yerushalayim a heavy,  a very heavy stone for all peoples all lifting   it are severely injured and all the nations of the  earth shall be gathered against it." And then look   at Zechariah 14 and verse 2. "and I shall gather  all the nations to battle against Jerusalem and   the city shall be taken, the houses plundered, and  the women ravished half of the city shall go into   exile and be captured but the remnant," Everybody  say, "the remnant". "but the remnant of the people   shall not be cut off from the city and YAH shall  go forth and He shall fight against those nations   as He fights in the day of battle I tell you what  it's something else to have the almighty fighting   your battles for you and then that day His feet  shall stand upon the Mount of Olives which faces   Jerusalem on the east," And this is a reference to  Yeshua's return, He's the one who fully represents   the Father on the earth and He will fight against  the enemies of Elohim and deliver the remnant of   Israel who calls upon His name. Alright look at  Zechariah chapter 12 and verse 9. "And it shall   be in that day that I seek to destroy all the  nations that come against Jerusalem and I shall   pour on the house of Dawid," Or the house of David.  "and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem a   spirit of favor," And prayers your Bible may  say supplications. "and they shall look on me   whom they pierced and they shall mourn for Him  as one mourns for his only son," This is talking   about the remnant of Israel. They're going to see  Yeshua, the one they pierced and they're going to   mourn for Him as one mourns for His only Son.  "and they shall be in bitterness over Him as a   bitterness over the firstborn." Now let me show  you a passage that I think you'll find really   in Matthew chapter 23, picking up with verse 37.  Yeshua said this, "Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim, killing   the prophets and stoning those who are sent to  her, how often I wished to gather your children   together the way a hen gathers her chickens under  her wings but you would not you weren't having it.   See your house is left to you laid waste." That's a  quote of Jeremiah 22 and verse 5. "For I say to you,   from now on you shall by no means see me this is  right before His execution until you say blessed   is He who is coming in the Name of YAH." How He was  quoting Psalm 118 verse 26. So He said, you should   have known the time of your visitation but you  didn't, you weren't paying attention. You weren't   Torah obedient because the Torah in Deuteronomy  18 commands Israel to shema the Prophet like   Mosheh and that is Yeshua and they didn't  shema - that's a Hebrew word that means, here and obey   Yeshua and so Yeshua said you're not going  to see me anymore not until you say, blessed is He   who is coming in the Name of YAH so Yeshua  is going to come back and He is going to step down   on the Mount of Olives and He is going to fight  for the remnant of Israel and they're going to   see the One, they're going to look upon Him whom  a pierced, and they're going to cry out in that   moment because they're just about to face utter  destruction, they're gonna cry out in that moment   "Blessed is He whose come in the Name of YAH." I  mean, if you were about to be destroyed and someone   showed up to save you I bet you could bless that  person too? So things are looking really bad,   really dark, and in that moment Yeshua arrives  and they notice that He's been pierced and they   realized that Yeshua is Messiah and they cry out,  blessed is He who comes in the Name of YAH and a   spirit of favor and supplication had been poured  out upon them to prepare them for that moment   and they call upon the Name of Yeshua and they are  saved, and the salvation of Israel takes   place at that moment and all of Israel is saved  in that moment. Hallelujah. So the remnant of Israel   will see Him and they will call upon His name and  they'll be saved and then the scripture tells us   that Yeshua will utterly destroy the multinational  military force that came against Israel and   Jerusalem. He may have come as the  suffering servant the first time, He certainly did,   but He's not coming back as the suffering servant.  He's coming back as the conquering King and He's   gonna rule the world with a rod of iron a man.  So quickly, let's talk about the gathering of the   bride. You guys have been really, really attentive  and listening well. I have a few more verses here,   Matthew chapter 24, we'll pick up with verse 29. Yeshua said, "And immediately after the distress of   those days the sun shall be darkened and the moon  shall not give its light and the stars shall fall   from the heaven and the powers of the heavens  shall be shaken and then the sign of the Son of   Adam shall appear in the heaven," He's gonna show  up. "and then all the tribes of the earth shall   mourn and they shall see the Son of Adam," The Son  of man, your Bible may say. "coming on the clouds,"   Well Daniel prophesied that in Daniel chapter  7 verse 13. "coming on the clouds of the heaven   with power and much esteem." Or much glory. Now,  it says that the anti-messiah was operating by the   power of Satan and it talked about all power, how  much more power is Yeshua going to have?   You might say ultimate power, amen? Verse 31 "and  He shall send His messengers (or His angels) with a   great sound of a trumpet," Or you could say a great  sound of a shofar. You want to know why we rehearse,   you want to know why we shout, you want to know why  we blow the shofar, you want to know why we get all   excited and dance and rejoice, you you want to know  why we have a joy that the world didn't give and   the world can't take away, you you want to know  why we celebrate like we do in the world looks   at us and says those people are crazy? It's because  we know something you don't. Now, we're charged to   make sure everybody hears so we're going to do our  best to make sure everybody hears, but that's why   we celebrate the way we do. Can you say amen? So  people that have a hard time getting excited about   Yom Teruah and the rest of the fall festivals,  I want to encourage you to get in the Word and   get a revelation of what it's all about because if  you get a revelation you will rejoice and it truly   will be the time or the season of your greatest  joy, amen? Hallelujah. Well go ahead and rejoice. Verse 31 "And He shall send His messengers (or  angels) with a great sound of a trumpet," He's   quoting Isaiah 27 verse 13. "and they shall gather  together His chosen ones from the four winds," He's   quoting Daniel 7:2. "from one end of the heavens  to the other," And that's a quotation of Deuteronomy   4:32. Don't tell me Yeshua isn't the living Word.  When He speaks, He quotes the Bible all over the   place because He is the living Torah, He is  the living Word, amen? Yeshua said,   get ready there's going to be a trumpet blast and  when He comes there's going to be this great sound   of a trumpet and all of His chosen ones, His  select ones gonna be gathered up. Now quickly,   first Thessalonians chapter 4 beginning with  verse 13 and this is Sha'ul telling us these   same things. "Now brothers, we do not wish you to  be ignorant concerning those who have fallen   asleep or those who have died in Messiah lest  you be sad as others who have no expectation,"   Or others who have no hope. So when our loved ones  who believe in Yeshua pass, we experience grief, that's natural, but we don't sorrow as those  who have no hope because we have hope, we have   expectation, our expectation is in Yeshua. Verse  14 "For if we believe that Yeshua had died,"   And we do. "and rose again," And we do. "so also Elohim  shall bring with Him those who sleep," Or those who   have died in Yeshua. "for this we say to you, by  the Word of the Master, that we, the living who are   left over at the coming of the Master shall in  no way go before those who are asleep or those   who have died in Yeshua because the Master  Himself shall come down from heaven with   a shout with the voice of a chief messenger," Your  Bible may say archangel. "and with the trumpet   of Elohim," The shofar of Elohim. "and the dead in  Messiah shall rise first then we, the living, who   are left over shall be caught away together with  them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air."   Where we going to meet Him? In the air. Doesn't  say that we're going to be suddenly in a place   called heaven and we're going to spend eternity  in heaven, that's a religious doctrine, it's not   a Bible doctrine. We're going to be gathered  up from the four winds of the earth, we're going to   meet Messiah in the air and it goes on to say, "and  so we shall always be with the Master." Where does   He go at that time? Yerushalayim. Where are we  gonna go at that time? Yerushalayim. That's why it   says, and so we shall always be with the Master.  Sukkot rehearses the marriage supper   of the Lamb, amen? This is the gathering, this is when the bridegroom comes to receive His   bride, hallelujah, and escort us to His Kingdom.  Praise YAH and what are the elements of this   moment? The elements of this moment happened to  be a shout, the voice of an archangel. How many of   you know if an archangel is shouting that's gonna  be a lot of noise? We thank YAH for the rain and   we had a little lightning, a little bit of thunder  out there where I live, how many of you have ever   had a lightning strike fairly close? It's close when you see the flash and then you   hear the boom, like immediately? And the boom, when  it's that close, can be so terrifying. I mean, it's   so loud and it shakes your house if you're in your  house. Can you imagine the shaking that's   gonna take place when Yeshua comes back and the  archangel shouts and blasts the shofar, amen? You   remember when the Almighty delivered the the Torah  to Mosheh on the mountain? You remember when He   brought all the people to the foot of the mountain,  and there was fire on the mountain, and then there   was a shofar blast and it got louder, and louder,  and more intense, and more intense? See, the best   of us, if we try to blow the shofar here today  we'll start out strong, but as we continue on we   start running out of breath and so the blast  gets softer and softer, quieter, quieter, weaker and   weaker, but that's not how the Almighty does it His  blast, gets louder and louder. These   are the elements - shouting, blasting, the voice of  an archangel rejoicing knowing that we're being   gathered. Now I've never been a bride, in the sense  of a natural bride, obviously, I'm a man.   So I'll have to rely upon those of you that have  been brides to tell me whether or not the day that   your groom came for you was a good day. Now, most  of you I think would nod your head yes - I see a   few of you smiling and wondering - We'll get  to that sermon too at some point. But the way it   was designed is that that day is supposed to be  a good day, a happy day, a joy-filled day, a day   that can hardly be contested as it relates to  other days and other events of your life. It's a   beautiful day. That's what happens when He comes  back. It's the day that our bridegroom comes for   His bride, amen? And some of you men are saying  you mean I'm a bride? It's interesting how   the Bible works. We, men, are the brides of Messiah  and you, women, are the sons of Elohim. How about   that? Amen. So these are the elements and this is  why we celebrate as we do. Now, I want to close by   just giving a small caveat at the end of this  message and say that the period that we're in   right now is the prophetic period between Yom  Teruah and Yom Kippurim because Yom Kippurim or you may have heard it said "Yom Kippur" the  scripture actually puts it in the plural because   there were more than one atonement that was made  that day so we say Yom Kippur in because that's   what the Bible says, but Yom Kippurim represents  the judgment of the nations and so, we are in   that period between Teruah and Yom Kippurim  prophetically. What I mean by that, this is the   period when we as the body of Messiah are supposed  to go out and proclaim and declare and shout from   the rooftop the Good News of Yeshua Messiah, that  He's coming and He's coming soon and He's coming   to establish His Kingdom and people need to repent  for the Kingdom of Elohim is at hand. Amen? So we   literally are the shofars. Let me give you one  scripture, Isaiah 58:1 says, "Cry aloud do not spare   lift up your voice like the shofar, declare to my  people their transgression and the house of Ya'aqob   their sins." And so, that's why Yeshua said go into  all the world and preach or proclaim or declare   the Good news to every creature. Yom Teruah is a  time of blasting the shofar and it is a rehearsal   of the second coming of Messiah but it's also the  shofar is the sound of a call to repentance, a call   to repentance, and so on Yom Teruah in the next  couple of days, if Yeshua doesn't come then we   realize that we're in that prophetic season that  we are to be the shofar so we have the message, the   message of reconciliation. We are the ones called  to cry aloud and spare not, to lift up our voices   like the shofar, to declare to YAH's people their  transgression into the house of Ya'aqob their   sins. Actually, Yeshua tells us to go into  all the world and preach the Good News to every   creature, amen, to make disciples of all the nations.  Hallelujah, and that's what Yom Teruah is all about.
