WHEN WILL THE BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS BE CUAUGHT UP? PT 3 - THE WRATH OF YAHWEH ELOHIM (GOD)

The Wrath of YAHWEH

The main purpose of the Tribulation is judgment for the world. The Great Tribulation is the climax of man’s 6000+-year dispensation upon earth. During that time, mankind has been in rebellion against YAHWEH the Almighty Living Elohim (God)

While many have responded to Elohim's (God’s) voice, and have been saved and blessed, the majority of the world has habitually gone its own way. Now time is up! It is time for Elohim to settle the score! It is time to purge the earth!

And yet, even in the Tribulation, YAHWEH is willing to save. That period is also called “the Day of Jacob’s Trouble,” because it is a time when YAHWEH will smelt the hardened nation of Israel, and turn its people to Yahshua the Messiah (Christ). This smelting will prepare them for His Kingdom.

Several promises given to the congregation (church) assure us that we will be saved from the wrath of Elohim (God); including the following:

“because YAHWEH has not appointed us to wrath, but for

obtaining of salvation through our Master Yahshua Messiah" 1 Thessalonians 5:9

In the context Paul is speaking about the coming of the Messiah, and “the Day of YAHWEH” - the day of darkness.

“Much more then, having now been justified by His Blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” Romans 5:9

“... you turned to Elohim from idols to serve the living and true Elohim (God), and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead - Yahshua, the One delivering us from the wrath that is coming.” 1 Thess. 1:9-10

“But YAHWEH knows to rescue the righteous out of temptation, and to keep the unjust to be punished at the judgment day,” 2 Peter 2:9

Some may reason that these verses refer to the future wrath - the lake of fire. But if we cannot believe these promises regarding deliverance from all wrath of YAHWEH Elohim (God), then how can we accept that He will indeed keep us even from the lake of fire?

Some will argue that the Tribulation is not the wrath of YAHWEH Elohim (God), but it is the wrath of Satan against believers.

That period is indeed a time of increased demonic activity, and of intense persecution. But it’s much more; it’s the period of the wrath of YAHWEH Elohim (God), as is seen in many passages describing the Tribulation. (See Isaiah 13:6-13, Zephaniah 1:14-18). Also ...

“For, behold, the day is coming, burning like a fire pot; and all the

proud and every doer of wickedness shall be chaff. And the coming day will set them ablaze, says YAHWEH of Hosts, which will not leave root or branches to them.” Malachi 4:1

Revelation also is so definite that it is YAHWEH'S Elohim's (God’s) wrath coming upon the whole world.

“And "they said to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us," and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the throne (YAHWEH), and from the wrath of the Lamb, (Hos. 10:8) because the great day of His wrath has come; and who is able to stand?” Revelation 6:16-17

The judgments under the 6th seal are, the sun turning to blackness, and the moon to blood; the stars falling to the earth, and a great earthquake. We cannot say these things are the wrath of Satan. Rather, it is clearly written, it's the wrath of the Lamb. It's the Great Day of His Wrath.

Knowing that the Saviour has taken our sins away completely and that He has set us free from condemnation, the promises above are very precious indeed. If we are true believers, they give us much assurance, for we know that what He has promised, He will definitely fulfil.

A third reason why the congregation (church) will not go into the Tribulation but will be caught up prior to that time, is because the Scriptures present the coming of the Master ~ Lord as ...
