WHAT DOES THE WORD TAKEN HAVE TO DO WITH
US AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN IN THE HEBREW ?
LET'S LOOK: Result of search for "TAKEN": 1498 gazel gaw-zale' from 1497; robbery, or (concretely) plunder:--robbery, thing taken away by violence.
HOW DO WE APPLY THIS TO OUR SITUATION ?
OF COURSE WE ALWAYS LOOK AT SCRIPTURE: MATTHEW 24:40-41: "Then two shall be in the field, the one is "TAKEN" and the one left, two shall be grinding at the mill, one is "TAKEN" and one is left.
IS THIS TOO EARLY IN TIME, TO TELL THE BODY TO PREPARE THEMSELVES TO BE READY ?
When we look at Matt 24 (the whole chapter), we see in verse 32 the parable of the fig tree: "When it's branch has already has become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, "when you see these," know that He is near, at the doors".
Where it says "WHEN YOU SEE THESE," Yahusha is referring to all the signs He has given His emissary. If you read the whole chapter and we say "IF," then you are the only one who can make up your mind, whether you can see the signs in our time, or not.
IS IT TOO EARLY FOR THIS WARNING "TO GET READY"? AND HOW SHOULD OUR BEHAVIOUR BE TOWARDS OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IF WE ARE REAL CANDIDATES FOR ETERNITY ?
By this time the genuine candidate should be well up the path of preparation by applying The 3 Rules, and enduring "The Test" of floggings from Yahuah, which produce the fruits of righteousness within and through our behaviour. Our behaviour is the witness that shines through the darkness of bad behaviour and this darkness can never destroy the light.
IS IT TOO EARLY TO TELL THE BODY TO "GET READY" ?
MATT 24 - VERSE 30 says:" And then the sign of Adam shall appear in the heaven and then all the tribes of the arets shall mourn, and they shall see the son of Adam coming on the clouds of the heaven with power and much esteem. 31 And He shall send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the shamayim to the other".
Consider the only man in history Who came and healed every disease of man; leprocy and insanity just for starters, rose people from the dead (even himself). He walked on water, stopped the storm and the wild seas, gave us wisdom to survive. He Himself told us about the signs of the end and gave us the re-assurance of our safety in Matt 24.
Yahusha said as sure as these things will happen, My return is eminent and those who have prepared themselves will be acceptable.
IS IT TIME TO GIVE THE WARNING NOW ?
