PREPARATION FOR THE GREAT TRIBULATION

SCRIPTURE IS A “BARUCH HABA

MESSAGE OF LOVE BASHEM YAHUAH”
FROM YAHUAH “BLESSED IS THE ONE WHO
COMES IN THE NAME OF
TO HIS BRIDE. YAHUAH” PS 118:26 - MT 23:39
ALSO READ PS 80:
HAVE YOU UNDERSTOOD
THE MESSAGE? 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 LAMB’S 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 Lamb’s 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 the bride
observing ChristMass, Easter (Ishtar),
Sun-day, Lent, Ash Wednesday, 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” didn’t originate from Yahuah’s 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 Ya’aqob (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) doesn’t want anything to do with obeying:

YAHUSHA’S 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, Yahuah’s 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, let’s pretend
that modern “feminism” never happened, and we’re
thinking like a person who lived long ago. To be Yahusha’s
“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 Yahusha’s 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. We’ll be redeemed at the same time
we’re 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 Yahusha’s 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.

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).
