PREPARATION FOR THE GREAT TRIBULATION

SCRIPTURE IS A MESSAGE OF LOVE FROM YAHUAH TO HIS BRIDE.

HAVE YOU UNDERSTOOD THE MESSAGE?

BARUCH HABA BASHEM YAHUAH

BLESSED IS THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF YAHUAH PS 118:26 - MT 23:39
ALSO READ PS 80:

THE CRY OF EPHRAIM

WE WILL NOT SEE YAHUSHA AGAIN UNTIL WE DECLARE A SPECIFIC NAME - MT 23:39

COME, I SHALL SHOW YOU

The Bride;
THE LAMBS WIFE
If you are not the bride, but think you are, this is especially meant for you. Scripture identifies a bride, which is the same as a wife. Shaul (Paul) speaks of this bride, and so does the writer of Revelation, and the prophets of Yahuah.

`THE BRIDE By Lew White........page.1

The bride is discussed by one of the messengers that release the 7 last plagues:
And one of the seven messengers who held the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and spoke with me, saying, Come, I shall show you the bride, the Lambs wife. REVELATION 21:9
The bride is described as a great city coming from the skies, and her light was like a most precious stone, clear as crystal, and named the New Yerushalayim. The 12 gates each bear a name for a tribe of ISRAEL, and there is a qualification stated concerning those who may enter her. People practicing error will be blocked from entering:

Blessed are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city. But outside are the dogs and those who enchant with drugs, and those who whore, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and all who love and do falsehood. REV 22:14,15
Clearly, we see there is unconditional obedience to the Commands of Yahuah required (not unconditional indulgence as many false prophets and teachers have stated). We are given our faith (belief, fidelity) as a gift, and that faith produces the good works: obedience to the Torot (instructions) of Yahuah. If we practice idolatry, or worship Yahuah in a way He did not command worship, we must purge such things and learn what pleases Him. We are counted righteous by belief, and our belief is perfected and shown by our obedience (our obedience is the fruit of righteousness).
WE CAN IDENTIFY A TREE BY THE F RUIT WE SEE ON IT.

BY THE FRUIT WE SEE IN THE BRIDE, WE CAN IDENTIFY HER.

`THE BRIDE By Lew White........page.2

If we see what we think is observing ChristMass, Easter Sun-day, Lent, Ash Wednesday,

the bride (Ishtar), Halloween

(all of which stem directly from Pagan practices and times), is it remotely

possible that we are deceived? Where in

Scripture was the bride instructed to practice any of these things? Houses of worship using steeples (obelisks) and bells are of Pagan origins.
If the Christmas tree didnt originate from Yahuahs Torah, how did it get mixed-up with what people do? It is not secular either; it is an
ASHERAH (please verify this by personal research).

Evidently, the bride currently has a few major spots and wrinkles which need to be wiped away.
(Google the words: ASHERAH, ORNAMENTS, TREE)

What we do is the evidence of our belief, as brother Yaaqob (James) tells us:

You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief alone. JAMES 2:24
Another statement follows: For as the body without the spirit

is dead, so also the belief is dead without the works. JAMES 2:26
Shaul tells us that a person without belief (living solely in a perspective of the flesh) doesnt want anything to do with obeying:

YAHUSHAS BRIDE IS FILTHY BECAUSE SHE IS STILL IN CAPTIVITY AMONG THE NATIONS !
`THE BRIDE By Lew White........page.3

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the matters of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the matters of the Spirit. For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace. Because the mind of the flesh is hatred towards Elohim, for it does not subject itself to the Torah of Elohim, neither indeed is it able; those who are in the (mind of the) flesh are unable to please Elohim. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Messiah, this one is not His. ROMANS 8:5-9
The mind of the flesh is hatred toward Yahuah, BECAUSE it does not subject itself to His Torah. There are plenty of preachers who do not want anyone to submit to the Torah of Yahuah, and they tell us this quite often.

THE BRIDE WAS HIDDEN, AS IN A FIELD, LONG AGO

THE FIELD IS THE WORLD

As a result of disobedience, the bride (Israel, Yahuahs wife) was scattered thoroughly among the nations, driven from the land. This was the curse, and it remains in effect. The parable at Mt 13:44 speaks of a treasure (lost Israel, the bride) found by a man (Yahusha, the Pursuer of His bride), who bought the field (paid the ultimate price). The bride is now His property, but she remains hidden.

`THE BRIDE By Lew White........page.4

Like Yusef in Egypt, Yahusha will one day reveal Himself to His brothers, the whole lost nation of Israel. The first work of Yahusha involved atonement, but the second work is redemption. He is sent to seek and deliver that which was lost, and will unite the house of Yahudah (the ruling tribe) and the house of Israel (also called Ephraim, first-born blessing tribe) into one stick (EZEKIEL 37:15-19).

THE BRIDE WILL BE REVEALED ON THE DAY OF REDEMPTION

For your Maker is your husband, Yahuah of hosts is His Name, and the Setapart One of Yisrael is your Redeemer. He is called the Elohim of all the Earth. ISAIAH 54:5 (read the context)
Yahusha has chosen His bride, but He has not yet taken possession of her. The wedding supper is still ahead of us at a future festival of Sukkoth (the harvest festival we are to observe for 7 days in the fall, Lev 23, Dt 16). Notice in the following text the reference to a booth; tents (Hebrew, Sukkoth) will be the time of the return of Yahusha, at the harvesting of the Earth: And I, Yahuchanan, saw the set-apart city, renewed Yerushalayim, coming down out of the heaven from Elohim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying, See, the Booth of Elohim is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and Elohim Himself shall be with them and be their Elohim. REVELATION 21:2,3

`THE BRIDE By Lew White........page.5

Yahusha is preparing His wife so that she may be without spot or wrinkle. Again, from more texts we can see our redemption comes during the observances of the 7th month, after the last shofar, or feast of trumpets:
Now, brothers, we do not wish you to be ignorant concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you be sad as others who have no expecta-tion. For if we believe that Yahusha died and rose again, so also Elohim shall bring with Him those who sleep* in Yahusha. 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. Because the Master Himself shall come down from heaven with a shout, with the voice of a chief messenger, and with 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 and so we shall always be with the Master. So encourage one another with these words. 1THESSALONIANS 4:13-18:
(*SLEEP IS A EUPHEMISM FOR DEATH. THE DEAD ARE RAISED ON THE 1ST DAY OF THE SEVENTH MOON, YOM TERUAH - THE DAY OF THE SHOUT. WHEN WE ARE REDEEMED, WE WILL BE CLOTHED & IMMORTAL).

CAUGHT AWAY in the above text is the same Greek word

used at Acts 8:39 (HARPAZO, G726, to seize; Latin: RAPTUS, as in seizing property). Enabled by the Spirit of Yahusha, Philip was teleported to another location instantly; as together, we will also at the coming of the Master.

`THE BRIDE By Lew White........page.6

For a clearer understanding, lets pretend that modern feminism never happened, and were thinking like a person who lived long ago. To be Yahushas property , His BRIDE, we must examine how Scripture identifies those who live within the BONDS OF THE COVENANT* (of marriage) to Him. Every denomination on Earth sincerely believes they are the bride of the Mashiach, ahead of all others. While Yahusha is away to receive His Kingdom and prepare a place for His bride, those who await His return are partly wise, and partly foolish. At Mt 25:1-13, ten maidens seem to correspond to the ten lost tribes of Israel. Some have wisdom and have prepared themselves more than others. The oil that is discussed surely represents the guidance of Yahushas Spirit, helping make the wise maidens aware of what is needed to prepare themselves for the abrupt arrival of the Bridegroom. Indeed, the wedding feast is an exclusive affair.

YAHUAH SAYS WE WILL OBEY IN THE LATTER DAYS, WHILE AMONG THE GENTILES:
In your distress (Great Trib), when all these words shall come upon you in the latter days, then you shall return to Yahuah your Elohim and shall obey His voice. Deuteronomy 4:30:
~(Read t he f ull context of all the text s bei ng quot ed i n thi s st udy! )~

And it shall be, when all these words come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you shall bring them back to your heart among all the Gentiles where Yahuah your Elohim drives you, and shall turn back to Yahuah your Elohim and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your being, you and your children..........

`THE BRIDE By Lew White........page.7

........Then Yahuah your Elohim shall turn back your captivity, and shall have compassion on you, and He shall turn back and gather you from all the peoples where Yahuah your Elohim has scattered you. If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under the heavens, from there Yahuah your Elohim does gather you, and from there He does take you. Ez 39:28,29: And they shall know that I am Yahuah their Elohim, Who sent them into exile among the Gentiles, and then gathered them back to their own land, and left none of them behind. And no longer do I hide My face from them, for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Master Yahuah.

The One doing this is Yahusha, the Bridegroom. Our captivity will end!
THE BRIDE REPRESENTS THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL

Therefore see, the days are coming, declares Yahuah, when it is no longer said, Yahuah lives who brought up the children of Yisrael from the land of Mitsrayim, but, Yahuah lives who brought up the children of Yisrael from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them. For I shall bring them back into their land I gave to their fathers. See, I am sending for many fishermen, declares Yahuah, and they shall fish them. And after that I shall send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
JEREMIAH 16:14-16

`THE BRIDE By Lew White........page.8

THE BRIDE WILL BE RESTORED TO THE COVENANT IN THE DAY OF DISTRESS (THE GREAT TRIBULATION), AND REALIZE HER RELIGIOUS FILTH:
O Yahuah my strength and my stronghold and my refuge, in the day of distress the Gentiles shall come to You from the ends of the Earth and say, Our fathers have inherited only falsehood, futility, and there is no value in them. JEREMIAH 16:19.
(False terms like GOD and LORD will cease) Now notice Ps 80:14-19:

Return, we beg You, O Elohim of hosts; look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine, and the stock which Your right hand has planted, and the son whom You made strong for Yourself. It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of Your face. Let Your hand be upon the One at Your right hand, Upon the Son of Adam whom You made strong for Yourself, and we shall not backslide from You. Revive us, and let us call upon Your Name. Turn us back, O Yahuah Elohim of hosts, and cause Your face to shine, that we might be saved!
The bride will know her Husband, and take His Name on her lips. The bride has always been Israel, into which Gentiles must engraft (Eph 3, Rom 11).
RAPTURE: The Christian understanding of our redemption is partly correct, but it will occur at the END of the Great Trib, because our greatest work will be done during this period. Well be redeemed at the same time were re-gathered. The lost (those not sealed with the Name) will be helped greatly by our presence. RAPTUS: In Catholic Canon law, this was a term commonly used for bride kidnapping. RAPTIO was the confiscation or abduction of women. In Roman law the term covered many crimes of property, and women were considered property. The BRIDE of Yahusha will be seized by Him suddenly. A related term in Greek would be: EK-STASIS (ECSTASY): A removal to elsewhere; to stand outside oneself. . . . . YAHUSHA, COME!

`THE BRIDE By Lew White........page.9

BLIND TO OUR MORTALITY

From Yahushas point-of-view, we are all sinking into oblivion, and the grave will consume us without His intervention. Our wanton dependence upon Him every instant ispushed aside in our daily lives, but Kepha experienced how fragile his life was for a few fleeting moments. Beyond the surface of this miracle lies the stark reality of our dependence, and that our susceptibility to death is overcome by belief in the authority of a single Person that has the power and will to rescue us.

Master, SAVE ME!!! Mt. 14:30

There is only ONE flock, and that flock is ISRAEL - Gentiles must engraft

*Gentiles

Please make copies of this short study and share it widely with congregations, friends, seminary students, and family members. Surely there is only one name given under heaven among men by which we must be saved, so it follows that we would desire to know what that Name is. Being SEALED in our foreheads (minds) with the True Name unites us (Yn. 17), and protects us (Rev. 7:3). Part of being sealed for the day of our redemption involves receiving the Name. Apparently you have been chosen, if you have received a love for the Truth. The others refuse to, and are sent a strong delusion to believe the lie, and delight in lawlessness (ANOMIA).

ONE OF THE HUNTERS HAS FOUND YOU !

The End !
