A brief overview of what is coming.
What Matters Most with Messianic Rabbi Yochanan Levine As authentic Messianic Jews we reject all versions of the popular Rapture theory as anti-biblical. This include the pre, mid and post theories. The Rapture (the belief that all of God's people will be taken away to heaven) is not taught in Scripture when read in context. The earth is our home. For more on this topic see my Study here.
In a nutshell, it is my understanding from Scripture that the world will soon be plunged into total chaos. I believe that is what is now dawning. Amidst the chaos a Jewish man will arise in Europe (likely from the Greek isles but maybe not) who will appear to be the global savior (John 5:43). He will be accepted by the Nicean Church (as Second Coming of Jesus), by the Sanhedrin of Israel (as Moshiach), by the ummah and deen of Islam (as al Madhi), by the Hindus (as Kalki), the Buddhists (as Maitreya) etc. etc. This man will unite the world, bring in global peace and security, release technology etc to cure countless diseases, to end hunger, and so on.
Through a covenant with Israel he will cause the Temple to be rebuilt and so on, as the prophets say. Three and a half years after this treaty is signed he will be assassinated (probably by a blow or bullet to the head) and then rise from the dead. When that happens (II Thessalonians 2, Revelation 12 etc.) 'If those days were not shortened no flesh would survive, but to save the Jewish people from extinction those three and half years will be shortened to some degree (probably by a month of two).'
Y'shua HaMoshiach will be active among the people of HaShem during the final almost seven year period guiding them through dreams and visions (Joel 2:28). By the authority of HaShem he will reestablish the 12 Houses of Israel (Zechariah 8:23, Revelation 7) with a 144,000 Israelites (12,000 from each house) who will accept him as Ha-Moshiach, he will also accept the service of "a great multitude" of Goyim, he will defeat the New World Order and establish the Kingdom of HaShem on earth, headquartered in Jerusalem. He will personally, physically, appear during the Battle of Jerusalem (staged in the Jezreel Valley near Tel Magido). Israel will then be restored to its biblically commanded borders. Y'shua as both Cohen Gadol and Moshiach will be the accepted High priest and King of Israel and Sovereign leader of the Noahide (Goyim) nations.
We will live on the earth in the Kingdom for 1000 years by the mercy of HaShem. At the end of that reign there will be a final rebellion (the War of Gog of Magog). HaShem Himself will vanquish those who oppose His anointed Moshiach and then will come the New Heavens and the New Earth. New Jerusalem will be established as the eternal capital of Earth and peace will reign forevermore.
"You, therefore, pray like this: `Our Father in heaven! May your Name be kept holy.
10 May your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven -- Matthew 6:9HaShem's Will will be done on earth as it is heaven.
