Rapture Doctrine Part 50 Matthew 24 Verse 33

In this continuing study I take a look at the Rapture Doctrine. Is this a Pre-Trib, as taught in most mainstream Churches are do Christians go through the Tribulation Period? I compare Thessalonians to Matthew 24 along with Revelation. I venture into Paul’s writings to explore what he has to say, along with what Yahweh says in Ezekiel. I also ask the listeners to grab a pencil and paper as we create charts for comparison as we get deeper into this study. In this Part 50 I continue our study in this Matthew 24 verse 33. I begin with a recap of what we have discovered up to this point in our Rapture study. In our last study Yahshua Messiah was giving us a Parable of the fig Tree. In verse 33 He continues with this thought.33        So likewise ye = (outw kai umeiv , so also ye, emphatic). As surely as buds and leaves prove the coming of summer, so you, who have been taught, may gather from the fulfillment of the signs mentioned (verses 15-22, etc.) the approach of the end.Know that it is near = (oti egguv estin). The darkening of the sun,  moon, and falling of the stars, all those things that I have spoken to you.At the doors; = as James 5:9, on the very threshold, and therefore about to enter.James  5:9  Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. 34        This generation. = The generation of the Fig Tree!35        Heaven and earth. = The tone is that of One who speaks with supreme authority,but my words shall not pass away = plural “logos” be vain and empty, and unaccomplished;36        of = concerning. Greek. peri. ‘peri’ governs two cases (Genitive and Accusative), and denotes  around, or  about , like a completed circle.  But of that day and hour = let’s take a look at the Greek ‘ho-rah’ which is the English word for hour, here, says Grotius, as denoting, not a part of a day, but a larger portion of time.knoweth = has any perceptive knowledge. Greek. oida.only = alone. Not the Lord as "the Son of man", though surely as "the Son of Yahweh". no, not the angels of heaven = who dwell there, always behold the face of Yahweh, stand in his presence ready to do his will,but my Father only = to the elimination of all creatures, angels and men; but not to the keeping out of the Messiah as Yahweh, who, as such, is omniscient; nor of the Holy Spirit, who is acquainted with the deep things of Yahweh, the secrets of his heart, and this among others, The unknown day and hour. This is one of the most striking words of our Lord. The record of it shows the genuineness of the Gospel writers. No early Christian would have invented such a sentence as this. The words themselves testify to the truthfulness and to the modesty of Yahshua Messiah. They are significant also in the light they throw on the limitations of knowledge. I               THE FACT. No one but our Father in heaven knows the whole future. Some parts of it are revealed to all of us, some are within the perception of prophets, more may be specially known to angels, very much must have lain open before the eye of Yahshua Messiah. But Yahweh only knows the whole. The final judgment is known only to him. Why is this?<br/><br/>But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’Have any questions?
