Being “Snatched” out of the world. All of these phrases refer to the same belief. The primary argument amongst churches these days is not whether the rapture is true or not, but rather is it pre-, mid-, or post-tribulation. My argument, however, questions the validity of the doctrine itself.  To be sure, there is no shortage of theories regarding the Millennial Kingdom. One-thousand years of peace on earth, some say. One-thousand years reigning in heaven, say others. One-thousand years of judging the deeds of the unsaved, say others still. With many theories in between, it is easy to see how the issue can be difficult to understand. To be sure, theories and beliefs are wonderful. However, one must always test said theories, and examine them, to see if they hold water. In our case, that water is Scriptural Water. The purpose of this writing is to expound on my belief on what the Millennial Kingdom is, as well as where it will be. This belief has come about in my own studies, so I must urge you (the reader) to search it out for yourself.  I do not have the time to re-hash the calendar debate which has been had by all. So, rather than type up a small dissertation to explain my position on the calendar of יהוה, I will simply share what I believe to be the best teaching out there on the subject.
Hebrews Chapter 7. That’s all I’m saying at the moment, but we’ll come back to that. Also, it should be noted that I will reference non-canonical sources including the Book of Jasher, the writings of Josephus and the Talmud. I do not believe these writings to be Scripture, but I intend to refer to them to help us build up a Hebrew mindset and to grant some historical context as we walk through this study.  |
