Shalum, Truth Seeker. If you read my first blog post, you know this journey has been deeply personal. I shared how three prophetic dreams in March woke me up out of spiritual slumber and churchianity. What followed was a season of fasting, prayer, and revelation that completely shifted my walk. This second post is a continuation of that awakening — a deeper uncovering of the lies I once believed and the truth that YAHUAH, in His mercy, is now making known.

For many of us, waking up to the truth has meant unlearning layer after layer of deception — and few deceptions run deeper than the doctrine of the pre-tribulation rapture. This belief, rooted not in Scripture but in dispensational theology, has lulled millions into spiritual sleep, causing them to look for an escape rather than preparing to endure, obey, and be gathered as the remnant of Yashar’al.

A few years ago, I thought I knew the truth. I was “saved”, active in church, and even led worship. But something never felt right. In 2019, I surrendered my life to “Jesus” — but it wasn’t until March 2025, after those dreams and deep seeking, that the Name above all names was revealed to me: YAHUAH, the Most High Elohiym!

Since then, I’ve been uncovering deception I never knew existed — from the origins of holidays to the mistranslation of Scripture, and now, to the false doctrines surrounding the end times.

Let’s walk through the Word together and expose two deeply connected lies:

• The Pre-Tribulation Rapture — the false hope that believers will escape tribulation.
• The Strong Delusion — a divine judgment on those who reject truth.

We’ll also explore the Greater Exodus, a prophetic promise few are talking about, and how it ties into the end-time regathering of YAHUAH’s people. And most importantly, we will affirm that both Yashar’al and the sojourning Gentiles are called to be one flock under one Shepherd — unified through Yahusha, not divided.

Part 1: The Strong Delusion — A Prophetic Warning

“Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved… YAHUAH shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.”
— 2 Thessaloniqim Sheniy (2 Thessalonians) 2:10–12

This isn’t just about being tricked by the enemy. This is a judgment from YAHUAH on those who prefer tradition, comfort, or man-made doctrine over His Word.

And one of the greatest lies YAHUAH allows those to believe — who reject the love of the truth — is the pre-tribulation rapture. This is not arbitrary deception, but righteous judgment on those who choose man’s word over His.

Part 2: The Pre-Tribulation Rapture — A Comforting Lie

What It Teaches:

• That believers will be secretly taken before tribulation begins.
• That they won’t face the anti-messiah, persecution, or refining.
• That YAHUAH has separate plans for “Israel” and the “Church.”

But none of this is found in Scripture.

Part 2b: The Root — Dispensationalism and the Rise of Zionist Prophecy

To understand how the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine took hold, we must examine the roots of Dispensationalism, a system of prophetic interpretation that didn’t exist until the 19th century.

• It was created by John Nelson Darby in the 1830s, a British theologian who introduced a radical separation between “Israel” and the “Church.”
• It was popularized by the Scofield Reference Bible (1909), which inserted commentary notes into Scripture that promoted Darby’s framework. Many began to trust these notes as much as the text itself.
• It was strategically pushed through theological seminaries and Zionist funding, with support from organizations like the Oxford Movement and later, Christian Zionism in America.

Dispensationalism laid the foundation for:

• A pre-trib rapture escape before the tribulation.
• The idea that Torah was only for “Jews.”
• The belief that modern political Israel is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

This doctrine contradicts Scripture and undermines the unity of YAHUAH’s people. It leads to confusion about who Yashar’al is and blinds believers to the ongoing regathering and restoration through Yahusha.

“One Torah shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourns among you.” — Shemoth (Exodus) 12:49
“There is neither Yahudiym nor Yavaniy… for ye are all one in Yahusha Ha’Mashiach.” — Galatiyim (Galatians) 3:28

Even more sobering are the warnings in Scripture about adding to or taking away from prophecy:

“You shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may guard the commandments of YAHUAH your Elohiym.” — Devariym (Deuteronomy) 4:2
“If any man shall add unto these things, Elohiym shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this cepher…” — Chazon (Revelation) 22:18–19

The pre-trib rapture doctrine, born out of man-made theology and fueled by political agendas, is not just incorrect — it is dangerous, and it plays directly into the strong delusion warned about in the last days.

To understand this doctrine, we need to look at Dispensationalism:

• Created by John Nelson Darby in the 1830s.
• Popularized by the Scofield Reference Bible (1909).
• Spread by books and movies like Left Behind.

Dispensationalism teaches:

• Different rules for different ages.
• That YAHUAH deals separately with “Israel” and the “Church.”
• That the Torah was only for “Jews.”

This false system directly contradicts Scripture:

“One Torah shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourns among you.” — Shemoth (Exodus) 12:49
“There is neither Yahudiym nor Yavaniy… for ye are all one in Yahusha Ha’Mashiach.” — Galatiyim (Galatians) 3:28

Part 3: What Scripture Actually Says

Before diving deeper, we must also acknowledge how key mistranslations from Hebrew into Greek and later Latin and English have contributed to confusion around prophetic texts — especially when it comes to timing, covenant identity, and key concepts like the word “church” or “virgin.”

For example:

1. “Church” vs. “Assembly” (Greek ekklesia)

• The Greek word ekklesia simply means “called-out assembly,” which directly aligns with the Hebrew word qahalused throughout the Tanakh (Old Testament).
• Translating ekklesia as “church” created a false division between the so-called New Testament believers and Yashar’al — when in reality, they are one and the same remnant.

2. “Virgin” vs. “Young woman” (Isaiah 7:14)

• The Hebrew word used in Isaiah 7:14 is almah, meaning “young woman of marriageable age,” not the Greek parthenos, which can specifically imply physical virginity.
• This shift opened the door to Greco-Roman myths of divine birth and contributed to misunderstandings about the nature of Yahusha’s arrival, detaching it from prophecy and covenant lineage.

These mistranslations, especially when filtered through replacement theology and western church traditions, have obscured the original Hebraic context of Scripture and supported doctrines like the rapture that never existed in the Hebrew worldview.

Additionally, we must address how the word “law” (nomos) in the Greek New Testament is often mistranslated or misunderstood. Many times, it refers not to the Torah itself, but to man-made traditions or legalistic misuse. Likewise, the word “grace” (charis) has been weaponized to imply freedom from obedience, when in truth, it is the empowerment to obey.

• Yahusha never spoke against Torah. In fact, He said: “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” (Matthew 5:17)
• Sha’ul (Paul) upheld the Torah repeatedly, and warned against those who turned grace into a license to sin (Romans 6:1-2).

These subtle distortions of language have done great damage. The result has been a church that no longer walks in covenant, and a people deceived into thinking obedience equals bondage — when Scripture says the Torah is freedom (Psalm 119:45, James 1:25).

Now, let’s return to what the Scriptures truly reveal about Yahusha’s words and the prophetic timeline we’re called to discern.

Yahusha’s end-time teaching in Matthew 24 is one of the clearest and most detailed roadmaps we’ve been given — and yet, it is often ignored by those promoting a pre-tribulation rapture. Let’s look closely at what He actually said:

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened… and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Adam in heaven… and He shall send His angels with a great sound of a shofar, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds…” — Mattithyahu (Matthew) 24:29–31

Yahusha outlines:

• Tribulation first
• Cosmic signs after
• The visible return of the Son of Adam
• The gathering of the elect after all these things

He even warns us repeatedly:

“Take heed that no man deceive you.” (v. 4)
“Many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” (v. 11)
“If they shall say unto you, ‘Behold, He is in the desert’… believe it not.” (v. 26)

Yahusha leaves no room for a secret or surprise removal of His people before the tribulation. Instead, He urges us to watch, endure, and remain faithful. The events He describes align perfectly with the trumpet gathering in 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 — which occurs at His visible return, not before.

Now, before we explore even more scripture, let’s also clear up a few common misunderstandings:

Before we look at what Scripture clearly teaches about tribulation, it’s important to address a few of the verses commonly used to support the rapture doctrine — and why they’ve been misunderstood.

Misused Verses That Don’t Teach a Pre-Trib Rapture:

1 Thessalonians 4:17 — “Caught up… in the clouds”

“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet YAHUSHA in the air.”

This verse is not about a secret removal before tribulation — it’s describing the resurrection at Yahusha’s visible return after the tribulation, just as Matthew 24:29–31 explains. The Greek word “harpazo” (caught up) simply means to be gathered or snatched. It aligns with the great trumpet gathering of the elect — not a hidden escape.

Revelation 3:10 — “I will keep you from the hour of trial”

“Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of trial…”

The phrase “keep you from” (Greek: tereo ek) means to guard through, not to remove from. This is the same language Yahusha uses in John 17:15: “I do not ask that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.” It’s about spiritual protection, not physical escape.

What Scripture Actually Says:

Here’s a simple comparison to highlight the difference between what many have been taught — and what Scripture actually reveals:

The Rapture Doctrine Teaches:

• Believers will be removed before tribulation begins.
• The Church and Israel are separate groups with separate destinies.
• Torah is for Jews only.
• Yahusha could return at any moment without warning.

Scripture Actually Says:

• The elect are gathered after the tribulation (Matthew 24:29–31).
• There is one body, Yahudi (Jew) and Goy (Gentile) united in Yahusha (Galatians 3:28, Ephesians 2:11–19).
• One Torah applies to all who enter into covenant (Exodus 12:49).
• Yahusha’s return follows clear prophetic signs — including the revealing of the man of sin (2 Thessalonians 2:3).

Now let’s walk through the Word together and see it for ourselves:

1. Yahusha’s Words — Matthew 24:29–31

“Immediately after the tribulation… He shall send His angels… and they shall gather together His elect…”

2. Sha’ul — 2 Thessaloniqim Sheniy (2 Thessalonians) 2:1–3

“That day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed…”

3. Revelation 7:14

“These are they which came out of great tribulation…”

4. Yahuchanon (John) 17:15

“I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should guard them from the evil.”

Part 4: The Greater Exodus

The true “escape” isn’t a rapture — it’s the regathering. The prophets spoke of a time when YAHUAH would bring His people back to the land.

“YAHUAH lives, that brought up the children of Yashar’al from the land of the north…”
— Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 16:14–15

Isaiah 11 and Ezekiel 20 confirm the same pattern: deliverance through judgment, not removal from it.

The Pattern: Endure. Obey. Be Preserved.

Just like Noach, Abraham, Lot, and Mosheh, YAHUAH always gives instruction, calls for obedience, and preserves His remnant through trial. Never once does He snatch them away.

“Here is the patience of the qodeshiym (set-apart ones): here are they that guard the commandments of Elohiym, and the belief of Yahusha.”
— Chazon (Revelation) 14:12

Yahusha’s Fulfillment and the Narrow Path

This also brings us to the importance of rightly understanding who Yahusha is. So many false doctrines, including the widely accepted virgin birth narrative, have been influenced by Greco-Roman mythology.

But the true Mashiach doesn’t imitate pagan myths. Yahusha’s life fulfills Torah and the Prophets. If we misunderstand His origin and purpose, we leave room for false messiahs that sound divine but don’t align with Scripture.

He came to fulfill, not to abolish. He came to confirm the promises made to the fathers. He came to walk the narrow path and call us to do the same.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve believed the rapture lie, know this: you’re not alone. I once did too. But when YAHUAH opened my eyes, I couldn’t unsee it.

The goal here isn’t to condemn, but to call you deeper — into truth, endurance, and covenant.

“Come out of her, My people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.” — Chazon (Revelation) 18:4

Let This Be the Beginning of Your Own Search

If this stirred something in you — don’t just take my word for it.

Pray. Fast. Study. Research. Ask YAHUAH to reveal the truth to you by His Ruach Ha’Qodash. Test everything against Scripture. The deception in these last days is strong, but the truth is stronger for those who truly seek it.

I’ll also be uploading a video on this exact topic later this week on my YouTube channel — so if you prefer a visual walkthrough or want to go deeper, make sure to subscribe at @shesingsforyah. I’d love to walk this out together.

Where to Start in the Word

If you’re just beginning this journey and want to dive deeper into this topic, here are some chapters that will anchor your study:

• Mattithyahu (Matthew) 24 — Yahusha’s own words about the end.
• 2 Thessaloniqim Sheniy (2 Thessalonians) 2 — The strong delusion and the revealing of the man of sin.
• Chazon (Revelation) 7 & 14 — The sealing and endurance of the set-apart ones.
• Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 16 — The promise of the Greater Exodus.
• Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 11 — The regathering of the remnant.
• Shemoth (Exodus) 12 — The one Torah for both native and stranger.
• Romans 11 — The grafting in and warning not to boast against the natural branches.

Let these chapters be a starting point as you pray and study with the guidance of the Ruach Ha’Qodash.

A Final Prayer

Abba YAHUAH, We thank You for revealing truth in a time of great deception. Strip away every lie. Uproot every false hope. Prepare us to walk the narrow path — to endure, to overcome, and to be found faithful. Seal us in the Name of Yahusha, and lead us by Your Ruach.

Amein.
