A Biblical Test of the Pre-Trib Rapture | What Scripture Really Says About the Gathering
Many believers expect a secret 'rapture' before a future tribulation. This teaching examines what the Bible actually says about the gathering of God’s people. It investigates key passages and shows that Messiah’s return occurs after tribulation, encouraging believers to be prepared and faithful.
The Divine Test, a way of proving our faith through God’s commandments. But what is this divine test? What does it really prove? How can we pass a test and prove our faith to Yahweh?
Does Hebrews 10:26 warn believers or unbelievers? This response to Matt McMillen examines the passage in context, distinguishing persistent, deliberate sin from stumbling and repenting. It considers Messiah's once-for-all sacrifice, why returning to temple worship is not the sin being warned against, and the call to repentance and faithful endurance.
Who were the Egyptians, and what does Scripture—and history—actually say about them? From their origin in Mitzraim (Genesis 10:6) to their complex religion, monumental architecture, and repeated intersections with Israel, this teaching explores how YHWH judged Egypt’s gods in the plagues, warned Israel against trusting in Pharaoh, and still promises a future when the nations worship him. We close by connecting Israel’s deliverance from Egypt to our freedom from sin through Yeshua (Romans 6).
Show Notes / Outline
Origins & Geography: Egypt from Mitzraim; Nile floodplain and grain abundance.
Culture & Power: Pharaoh as divine kingship; temples, pyramids, craftsmen.
Religion: Amun-Ra, Osiris, Horus; magic and afterlife emphasis; why “judgments on the gods of Egypt” matters (Exodus 12:12).
Scripture Intersections: Abraham, Joseph, the Exodus; later kings trusting Egypt and the prophetic rebukes.
Prophecy & Hope: Assyria/Babylon era lessons; future worship of YHWH among the nations (Sukkot).
Discipleship Application: Don’t “return to Egypt.” Freed from sin, we serve YHWH in righteousness through Yeshua (Romans 6).
Challenge: Test everything by the whole Word (1 Thessalonians 5:21)
Key Takeaway
YHWH alone saves. Israel’s deliverance from Egypt points us to our deliverance from sin through Yeshua—so we must not run back to our “Egypt,” but walk in faithful obedience to his commandments.
Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All: Is the Levitical Priesthood Replaced? addresses one of the most misunderstood issues in New Testament theology. Did Yeshua’s once-for-all sacrifice abolish the Levitical priesthood and sacrificial system? Many say yes—but Scripture tells a different story.
In this episode, we examine what the Book of Hebrews really says, and how the apostles, prophets, and Yeshua himself viewed the priesthood and sacrifices. We also unpack how animal sacrifices functioned on an earthly level, and how Messiah’s sacrifice functions on a heavenly level—removing any contradiction between them.
