Beware of those who pretend to be followers of Messiah who have left the truth in order to pursue their ungodly desires of the flesh. These false teachers still claim to be followers of Yeshua and many may be self-deceived into believing they are while others know they are not but want to gain financially from Yeshua's followers just as the prophet Balaam tried to harm Ancient Israel for financial gain.
Many people are seduced by these wolves and end up falling into the same sin that held them hostage before they found Messiah and become worse off than if they had never followed Messiah Yeshua.
2 Peter 2
1 But among the people there were also false prophets, just as there will be false teachers among you. Under false pretenses they will introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, and thus bring on themselves swift destruction.
2 Many will follow their debaucheries; and because of them, the true Way will be maligned.
3 In their greed they will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their punishment, decreed long ago, is not idle; their destruction is not asleep!
4 For God did not spare the angels who sinned; on the contrary, he put them in gloomy dungeons lower than hell to be held for judgment.
5 And he did not spare the ancient world; on the contrary, he preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, and brought the Flood upon a world of ungodly people.
6 And he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, reducing them to ashes and ruin, as a warning to those in the future who would live ungodly lives;
7 but he rescued Lot, a righteous man who was distressed by the debauchery of those unprincipled people;
8 for the wicked deeds which that righteous man saw and heard, as he lived among them, tormented his righteous heart day after day.
9 So the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and how to hold the wicked until the Day of Judgment while continuing to punish them,
10 especially those who follow their old natures in lust for filth and who despise authority. Presumptuous and self-willed, these false teachers do not tremble at insulting angelic beings;
11 whereas angels, though stronger and more powerful, do not bring before the Lord an insulting charge against them.
12 But these people, acting without thinking, like animals without reason, born to be captured and destroyed, insult things about which they have no knowledge. When they are destroyed, their destruction will be total —
13 they will be paid back harm as wages for the harm they are doing. Their idea of pleasure is carousing in broad daylight; they are spots and defects reveling in their deceptions as they share meals with you —
14 for they have eyes always on the lookout for a woman who will commit adultery, eyes that never stop sinning; and they have a heart that has exercised itself in greed; so that they seduce unstable people. What a cursed brood!
15 These people have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of doing harm
16 but was rebuked for his sin — a dumb beast of burden spoke out with a human voice and restrained the prophet's insanity!
17 Waterless springs they are, mists driven by a gust of wind; for them has been reserved the blackest darkness.
18 Mouthing grandiosities of nothingness, they play on the desires of the old nature, in order to seduce with debaucheries people who have just begun to escape from those whose way of life is wrong.
19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption; for a person is slave to whatever has defeated him.
20 Indeed, if they have once escaped the pollutions of the world through knowing our Lord and Deliverer, Yeshua the Messiah, and then have again become entangled and defeated by them, their latter condition has become worse than their former.
21 It would have been better for them not to have known the Way of righteousness than, fully knowing, to turn from the holy command delivered to them.
22 What has happened to them accords with the true proverb, "A dog returns to its own vomit." Yes, "The pig washed itself, only to wallow in the mud!
In the letter to the Romans, the apostle Paul said there was a time when someone fell away that their hearts would be darkened and they would become apostate - meaning they have fallen so far back into their sins that Yahweh has given them over to their worldly desires and will no longer pursue them because the apostates have chosen to follow their flesh and reject Yahweh. Notice that it isn't only the reprobates that will be punished but those who have pleasure in the reprobate that will also be punished whether they participate in the reprobate's sins or not.
Romans 1
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
In the parable of the wheat and tares, the tare can be distinguished from the time it is sown by those who know what to look for although if it is uprooted before maturity, it would take some of the wheat with it.
Matthew 13
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
The reason why tares need to be allowed to grow to maturity is so that they become obvious to even those that cannot distinguish between the wheat and tares when they are young can tell that it is a tare when it is mature. This is why such well known heretics as Kenneth Copeland, Billy Graham, and Joel Osteen, etc. are allowed to prosper (for awhile) while showing themselves they are false believers and false teachers. There are many less known wolves and false teachers that are destroying peoples souls while claiming they belong to Messiah - one casual search on youtube will show this to be so. You even have false prophet schools and false healing schools springing up to seduce and deceive those who were following Messiah Yeshua and obeying Yahweh.
The wolves / false teachers and those they have deceived into following them will certainly be punished - in Yahweh's timing. If you are following one of these wolves, you need to repent and seek Yahweh and follow Messiah Yeshua in truth and reject those who are trying to seduce you to hell right along with them.
If you are following Yeshua and know someone who is following a false teacher, you need to pray for them and try and snatch them from the hellfire they are heading towards.
Jude 1
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Are you unforgivable?
Many people do not accept Yeshua as their Messiah due to family - both living and deceased. Some do not want to be rejected by their family and others do not want to come to the realization their deceased family members are in eternal torment so they reject Yeshua as their Messiah instead of admitting the truth. This is just where satan wants them - lost and on their way to eternal torment.
Other people do not accept Yeshua as their Messiah because of what they have done. Some have murdered people, others are involved in sexual sin of all kinds and others are involved in pornography of all kinds including child pornography. Messiah Yeshua said all of these can be forgiven and there is only one unforgivable sin which is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
Jeffrey Dahmer was a serial murderer who strangled and dismembered 17 men and boys and cannibalized some of them. Before he was murdered in prison, Jeffrey Dahmer found forgiveness and accepted Yeshua as his Messiah. By all indications, Jeffrey Dahmer's conversion was real and, if so, he is in heaven with Messiah Yeshua. http://www.christianchronicle.org/article/did-jailhouse-religion-save-jeffrey-dahmer
Another hardened serial murder that accepted Messiah Yeshua before his execution was Ted Bundy. Ted Bundy started his killing spree in Seattle Washington when I was a young teenager in Seattle. Ted Bundy stated that pornography was a major contributor to his behavior and that led to his murdering over 24 women. Ted Bundy was executed in 1989 the day after giving his final interview to Dr. James Dobson. In the interview, Ted Bundy stated he grew up in a Christian home with loving and caring parents with no abuse of any kind. He started his murder spree when he was a law student when his fantasies fed by the pornography broke down the inhibitions (aided by alcohol) which led to assault and murder. In the interview, he describes being possessed wen he murdered the women. He took full responsibility for his crimes and had accepted Yeshua as his Messiah before his execution.

But what about the bible?
It is all and good to read that these serial murders accepted Yeshua as their Messiah although that is not comforting to those that believe they are not forgivable unless the bible says they can have forgiveness. The good news for those seeking forgiveness, there are examples in the bible that show that even murders or those involved in sexual sin can be forgiven by Yahweh if they repent of their sins.
The first example is of King David who Yahweh said was 'a man after God's own heart'. King David saw a married woman and sent for her to have sex with her. When the woman became pregnant with his child, he first tried to cover it up and when that didn't work, he had her husband killed.
2 Samuel 11
1 And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.
2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
3 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
6 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.
9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?
11 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.
17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
19 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,
20 And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
21 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
22 So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for.
23 And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.
24 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
25 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.
26 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
King David was forgiven after he repented although still faced the consequences for his sin: the child Bathsheba had conceived died and violence would never depart from his household.
2 Samuel 12
10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
Another example in the bible of a mass murder who accepted Yeshua as his Messiah was Saul who became the apostle Paul Paul was present and encouraged the stoning of Stephen, the first Christian martyr:
Acts 7
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Acts 8
1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
Acts 9
1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
Act 22
3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
5 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
The apostle Paul, after he had accepted Yeshua as Messiah, wrote to the Corinthians that some of them had been involved in sexual sin of all sorts, used to be drunkards, and were involved in all sorts of evil but they were now forgiven because they had accepted Yeshua as their Messiah:
1 Corinthians 6
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
So no matter what you have done, if you seek forgiveness, repent of your sins,and choose to follow Messiah Yeshua, you can and will be forgiven! Those who are seeking forgiveness from Yahweh that wonder if they committed the unforgivable sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and cannot be forgiven have not. Those who commit blasphemy of the Holy Spirit are the false prophets who falsely attribute their divination to the Holy Spirit (the exception being new believers who do not know any better - like the young fruit tree, they are pruned and fertilized to see if they will produce good fruit and are given a chance) Those who commit blasphemy of the Holy Spirit are given over to a reprobate mind after having been given numerous chances to repent and they do not seek Yahweh or His truth.
Romans 1
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
If you are sincerely seeking forgiveness, you can be forgiven no matter how horrendous of a sin you believe you have committed. Seek Yahweh, repent of your sins, and follow Messiah Yeshua today because no man knows how much time they have left and tomorrow may be too late.
Other people do not accept Yeshua as their Messiah because of what they have done. Some have murdered people, others are involved in sexual sin of all kinds and others are involved in pornography of all kinds including child pornography. Messiah Yeshua said all of these can be forgiven and there is only one unforgivable sin which is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
So no matter what you have done, if you seek forgiveness, repent of your sins,and choose to follow Messiah Yeshua, you can and will be forgiven! Those who are seeking forgiveness from Yahweh that wonder if they committed the unforgivable sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and cannot be forgiven have not. Those who commit blasphemy of the Holy Spirit are the false prophets who falsely attribute their divination to the Holy Spirit (the exception being new believers who do not know any better - like the young fruit tree, they are pruned and fertilized to see if they will produce good fruit and are given a chance) Those who commit blasphemy of the Holy Spirit are given over to a reprobate mind after having been given numerous chances to repent and they do not seek Yahweh or His truth.
Romans 1
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
If you are sincerely seeking forgiveness, you can be forgiven no matter how horrendous of a sin you believe you have committed. Seek Yahweh, repent of your sins, and follow Messiah Yeshua today because no man knows how much time they have left and tomorrow may be too late.

Shipwrecks, surprises, and disappointments
Messiah Yeshua's return in the pre-tribulation rapture for His bride, the church, is imminent. Those who are truly following Yeshua need to make sure they are truly following Him and this means they need to reconcile with the believers they have harmed or been harmed by. Lately Yahweh has led me to contact those who have done me harm or believed, due to lies by others, that I had harmed them.
Recently I had contacted several people from youtube including Chad Thomas and a brother from the west coast. I was pleased and surprised Chad had turned around and was now teaching truth instead of making false prophecies. Chad had been misled by people when he was a new believer and I had called him out on it. He had repented and is now a strong believer with a heart for the lost. Yahweh showed me that Chad is being called into the ministry as a pastor and he will be a very good one as long as he stays on track and continues to grow in his walk with Messiah Yeshua (which I believe he will continue to do). Another brother I had contacted is still a strong believer and is living further inland of the west coast and is doing well. It was very nice catching up with him and seeing he is still following Messiah Yeshua. Another brother responded to my email although had just gotten some very bad news about his health and had not contacted me again yet - please pray for that brother.
I also contacted, or attempted to contact, or Yahweh showed me to not contact was people from the "fellowship" I was in a few years ago. One I did not contact is a shipwreck who left his wife and moved in with another woman he calls his wife, is a false prophet, has bought into replacement theology and all the false doctrines associated with that false belief system (sacred name and rejected pre-tribulation rapture he claimed to have once believed in and possibly believe that "the apostle Paul is a false apostle" as so many with those types of demons believe), and, as Yahweh showed me a few years ago, is reprobate. He picked up several demons from those I tried warning the "fellowship" about but those people with the demons were accepted as "brethren" while I was called the troublemaker for warning them.
One person in the fellowship from Washington State that I had met several times (along with his wife) is still following Yeshua although I had kept in contact with him when I was still on facebook so we had only been out of contact for a few months. A sister from Canada that was in the "fellowship" responded and she is following Messiah and has had no contact with the others from the "fellowship" after all of the drama, lies, and betrayals.
Several others from the "fellowship: I had contacted did not respond to my emails. Some of them were lukewarm and did not follow Yeshua as Lord and only accepted Him as Savior (from hell) --- in other words, they did not love Yeshua and only wanted "fire insurance" because they did not want to go to hell - false believers. There are a few that greatly disappoint me with their apparent apostasy and unwillingness for reconciliation. My prayer for them is that they ask Yahweh to open their eyes so they can see the truth. All I can do is pray for them and hope Yeshua snatches them from the hellfire they are heading towards before the rapture or before it is too late for them (nobody is promised tomorrow)
I was obedient in contacting those Yahweh had me contact and will continue to pray for those Yahweh shows me to pray for. Please make sure you reconcile with those who you have offended or who have offended you. Yeshua is about to return and He wants His true followers to be living in harmony and in TRUE fellowship --- that does not mean to be living in fellowship with demons and wolves - the apostle Paul made clear we are to expel the false brethren and both Messiah Yeshua and the apostle Paul warn about the wolves who sneak in to devour the sheep.
Matthew 7
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Acts 20
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
1 Corinthians 5
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Ezekiel 22
25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.

Attacks on the pre-tribulation rapture
The closer we come to Yeshua's return for His bride, the more the pre-tribulation is being attacked by false "christians" who claim the rapture is a deception by the enemy. They claim it is nowhere in the bible and a man named Darby "invented it". They also quote Corrie Tenboom like she speaks directly for Yahweh because she survived the holocaust.
Many of these false "christians" claim "People always had to suffer so why do you think you are so special" and they usually point out the holocaust as an example of human suffering. They apparently believe Christians must go through some sort of purgatory in order to be saved. Not all Christians went through wars or survived Holocausts - some spent their lives in relative peace and died without the suffering and persecution so many other Christians endure.
The false teachers who claim Christians go through the tribulation have absolutely no idea what the tribulation is all about and the difference between people suffering at the hands of others, as they do during wars and terrorist attacks, and Yahweh's wrath that He will pour out onto the world during the tribulation. They claim there are no bible verses to support a pre-tribulation rapture and some claim their kabbalah fortune telling "proves" there is no rapture. Many of these false teachers adhere to the demonic replacement theology doctrines and many of those also hold to the sacred name heresy that is common with those who hold to replacement theology that claim to be Messianic. There has been an influx of heretical beliefs and doctrines in the Messianic movement since the advent of the internet. So sad a movement that was restored to follow Messiah Yeshua in truth of scripture has become so corrupted.
Both old and new testaments prove the pre-tribulation rapture. Of course, those who are apostate and given over to a reprobate mind cannot comprehend what is clearly revealed in scripture - Yahweh has given them over to deception because they refuse to obey Him and repent of their sins.
Micah 7:9 the speaker knows the righteous were removed and they will bear the indignation of Yahweh because of sin. (entire passage listed below)
Micah 7
1 Woe is me! for I am as the last of the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage; there is no cluster to eat; nor first-ripe fig which my soul desireth.
2 The godly man is perished out of the earth, and the upright among men is no more; they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
----------------------
9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against Him; until He plead my cause, and execute judgment for me; He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold His righteousness.
The word perished is abad which is now translated as lost.
There are many that used to believe the rapture and have now rejected it claiming that it was invented by Darby or a girl they claimed had seizures and was possessed yet the verses in the bible say the righteous WILL be removed before Yahweh's wrath. It's usually the same people who claim they do not have to obey Yahweh because "we are saved by grrrrrraaaaaaacccce not by wooooooorks" ignoring the fact that Messiah Yeshua said He will reject those who do NOT obey Yahweh and if we love Him, we will OBEY Him. It used to be people would promise to 'Love, honor, and obey' when taking their wedding vows and never considered it a "work" yet even mention obeying Yahweh and they scream "legalism".
Below is some of the passages that show the pre tribulation rapture:
Zephaniah 2
2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.
3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
* * * * * * *
Psalms 83
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
where will these people be hidden??? Why would Yahweh's enemies consult each other about these people who are hidden? Could it be they consult together to come up with an explanation that people are missing?
* * * * * * *
Isaiah 26
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
Yahweh's people will be hidden during the tribulation in chambers.
* * * * * * *
Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
***
Micah 7
1 Woe is me! for I am as the last of the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage; there is no cluster to eat; nor first-ripe fig which my soul desireth.
2 The godly man is perished out of the earth, and the upright among men is no more; they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge is ready for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul; thus they weave it together.
4 The best of them is as a brier; the most upright is worse than a thorn hedge; the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a familiar friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7 'But as for me, I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.
8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy; though I am fallen, I shall arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD is a light unto me.
9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against Him; until He plead my cause, and execute judgment for me; He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold His righteousness.
The word perished is abad which is now translated as lost. It is the same word in Isaiah 57:1 and Micah 7:2
Micah 7:9 the person speaking knows the righteous were taken away and he will bear the indignation because of sin.
* * * * * * *
Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
* * * * * * *
John 14
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
* * * * * * *
Joel 2:16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
Who is the Bridegroom? and who is the bride? Where were they hidden?
* * * * * * *
Genesis 29:27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
How long are is a bride and bridegroom alone after their wedding before she is called his wife? This shows a wedding week - an entire week not half of a week. One had her wedding week before another - the one he loved - was brought in --- this is a very interesting passage that reveals much about the tribulation. The one he loved was brought in after the wedding week of the other.
* * * * * * *
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
* * * * * * *
Revelation 3
10 Because you did obey my message about persevering, I will keep you from the time of trial coming upon the whole world to put the people living on earth to the test.
11 I am coming soon; hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown.
* * * * * * *
Revelation 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
At the end of the tribulation, Yeshua's bride is called His wife --- who is she and when was her wedding week???
Many of these false "christians" claim "People always had to suffer so why do you think you are so special" and they usually point out the holocaust as an example of human suffering.

What is a watchman?
So many self-proclaimed [false] prophets, "rapture watchers", and self-proclaimed [false] "pastors" claim to be "watchmen" because they are "watching for rapture signs". This is NOT what a watchman is. A watchman is someone who warns people to repent and turn back to obeying Yahweh by following Messiah Yeshua. The job of the watchman is to WARN whether or not the people they are warning repents or not.
Ezekiel 3
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
The watchman will be held accountable if he does not give the warning Yahweh has shown him to give.
Many people are false watchman and tell people that Yahweh will not judge their sin or that they are somehow the exception to Yahweh's Torah and can disobey whichever law they dislike. The righteous are disheartened by this false message because they know that these false teachers are seducing the wicked down the broad road to hell by reassuring the wicked that they are saved when they really are not.
Ezekiel 13
22 Because you have disheartened the righteous with your lies when I was not trying to cause them pain and have encouraged the wicked not to turn from their wicked ways and thus be saved,
23 therefore you will have no more futile visions, and you will produce no more divinations. I will rescue my people from your clutches, and you will know that I am Adonai.' "
True watchmen will warn even if they lose friends and family because of the warnings. False watchmen will only warn if it fits their agenda and may even stop warning if the repercussions hurt their feelings or is not beneficial to them in some way. The false watchmen want to be popular so they tell people what they want to hear to gain a following
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time is coming when people will not have patience for sound teaching, but will cater to their passions and gather around themselves teachers who say whatever their ears itch to hear.
This is the exact thing that happened in Ancient Israel
Isaiah 30
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
There are those who end up thanking the watchmen for warning them and will turn back to righteousness but, unfortunately, most will reject the warning and Yahweh will give the unrighteous over to a reprobate mind.
