THE SIGN OF THE COMING OF YESHUA (JESUS): –
IT IS THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD!
When Yeshua (Jesus) comes for the first time we shall not see Him, but we shall see His sign. His sign is the ressurection of the dead. In 1944 there was no evidence but just human imaginations. We shall know when Yeshua (Jesus) comes back, even if we shall not see Him. He shall resurrect the dead. He declared that the dead shall hear His voice, and they shall awake from their graves:
25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,
27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
And:
The Witnesses Resurrected: –
11 Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
12 And [a]they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.
13 In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.
Revelation 11:11-14.
HERE IT IS WRITTEN THAT HE WILL SEND HIS ANGELS WITH A TRUMPET, AND THE ANGELS SHALL GATHER HIS ELECT FROM ONE CORNER OF THE EARTH TO THE OTHER. THEY HAVE ALSO USED THE WORD SIGN, THAT WE SHALL SEE THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN. THE SIGN IS THE RESURRECTION, AND AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO RAPTURE UNTIL LATER. THE ELECT SHALL BE GATHERED IN ONE PLACE LIKE IN NOAS ARK:
The Coming of the Son of Man: –
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His [a]elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew 24: 29-31.
Jo Kelly
The elect in this verse is speaking of the class of Jews to be gathered from the four winds or corners of the earth to their homeland at his return. We read that 1/3rd will be refined and purified, etc. When the Lord returns to the earth it is with the elect saints (of the church-his body, and angels). The church is only one class of the elect of God. The church includes Messianic Jews. AFTER the tribulation of those days, saints are not taken away. Wicked TARES are the ones taken away, and FIRST, when Jesus returns to the earth with the saints. These tares are taken away to destruction, exactly like all the wicked in the days of Noah. None are received, then, and carried away to heaven as I read it. Then, those living in natural bodies of the nations, are judged at the sheep and goat nations judgment, on earth. The ones considered sheep will enter in, others will be told to depart. Remember, the disciples asked Jesus about the fact of one being taken away and one left at his coming to the earth, as in Noah’s days. Oduol Michaels, what was the reply of Jesus to them, as to revealing when, who, or where this was to happen? The event was one of destruction, not being received and raptured out.
Oduol Michaels
Madam, it is written that those who pretend to be JEWS, those who are of the synagogue of Satan are going to come and worship the real Jews. And all the world will face trouble, but God shall keep these Jews from the hour of trouble. There is no rapture at this time Madam, and so we should try to be nice to people.
That excuse for the rapture, which is a lie, is making Christians be arrogant. But the Rapture is reserved for the 144,000 and the likes. Yeshua (Jesus) shall return a third time. The one who shall be with you is angel Michael, to protect those who will be serving God. That is Noah’s ark. He is called the banner.
He will have powers like Yeshua (Jesus), and He will prophesy about the resurrection. Then Yeshua (Jesus) will not be seen, but He will support Him. So we shall only see heavens opened, and we shall witness the power of Yeshua (Jesus) at the resurrection. Then the whole world shall fear the banner who serves Yeshua (Jesus):
The Faithful Church
7 “And to the [a]angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘these things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”:
8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, [b]and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
10 Because you have kept [c]My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 [d]Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.
Revelation 3:7-11.
Notice that he has the keys of David, and no he opens and no one shut, and he shuts and no one opens
Revelation 3:7.
THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURES IS CONFIRMED BY PROPHET ISAIAH WHEN THE ANTICIPATED SON OF PERDITION FAILS HIS PEOPLE. THEN GOD SHALL TAKE ALL HIS AUTHORITY AND HAND IT OVER TO THIS ANGEL:
20 ‘Then it shall be in that day, that I will call My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah;
21 I will clothe him with your robe and strengthen him with your belt; I will commit your responsibility into his hand. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
22 The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; so he shall open, and no one shall shut, and he shall shut, and no one shall open.
23 I will fasten him as a peg in a secure place, and he will become a glorious throne to his father’s house.
24 ‘They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the posterity, all vessels of small quantity, from the cups to all the pitchers.
25 In that day,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘the peg that is fastened in the secure place will be removed and be cut down and fall, and the burden that was on it will be cut off; for the Lord has spoken.’ ”
Isaiah 22:20-25.

Oduol Michaels
HERE HE IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY YESHUA (JESUS) WHO FUNCTIONS AS THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE WILL COME AND DEFEND JERUSALEM WHEN THIS ANGEL WILL BE SURROUNDED BY TROOPS. THIS MESSENGER SHALL NOT BE MOVED WHEN THEY SURROUND HIM. HERE HE APPEARS AS THE BANNER AS I TOLD YOU, AND YOU CAN SEE OBAMA RUNNING AWAY FROM HIM:
God Will Deliver Jerusalem
4 For thus the Lord has spoken to me:
“As a lion roars,
And a young lion over his prey
(When a multitude of shepherds is summoned against him,
He will not be afraid of their voice
Nor be disturbed by their noise),
So the Lord of hosts will come down
To fight for Mount Zion and for its hill.
5 Like birds flying about,
So will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem.
Defending, He will also deliver it;
Passing over, He will preserve it.”
6 Return to Him against whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted. 7 For in that day every man shall throw away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin, which your own hands have made for yourselves.
8 “Then Assyria shall fall by a sword not of man,
And a sword not of mankind shall devour him.
But he shall flee from the sword,
And his young men shall become forced labor.
9 He shall cross over to his stronghold for fear,
And his princes shall be afraid of the banner,”
Says the Lord,
Whose fire is in Zion
And whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
Isaiah 31:4-9.
Jo Kelly
Oduol Michaels….
Scripture teaches a rapture, Sir, and we must agree with it as there will be a receiving of saints, by Jesus, just as taught.
You are misinterpreting Isaiah’s prophecy as it is not speaking neither of an angel, or the Son of perdition, but literal men in authority in the OT days who Isaiah gave the prophecy about. What angel are you speaking of, as Jesus is God in flesh, as a messenger, not a created spirit He made.
You are reading and then teaching of past Bible history about the fall of Sheba and his replacement, Eliakim being exalted to replace him in his office. Eliakim was not an angel, but a literal man and was given the keys and rulership of the treasury, over the house; as was Shebna in verse 15 of Isaiah 22 from which you quoted.
The Lord carried Shebna away, as he tried to exalt himself, but was humbled by being carried away into captivity. Eliakim replaced Shebna and was given his government. He became a father. counsellor, and a guide to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. These oriential keys were large and were often placed and carriedon the shoulders, as evidence of trust or an emblem of authority. Eastern merchants carried them on their shoulders in that day. This is past fulfilled prophesy and has nothing to do with Revelation or future prophecies.
As to a rapture, or receiving of saints, the Greek meaning of “receive” is “to take” as in John 14: 1-3. The Lord tells saints to pray to be worthy to “escape” all these things that will come to pass in the appointed time for Daniel’s people, not the church. No, the rapture is not reserved for 144,000 Jews, who will be translated during the tribulation after first being born again and receiving Messiah, the only way to God. The catching away of the saints is not a lie, although men may deceive and teach it is, but God judges them. Jesus functions as God the Son, and the Holy Spirit is God the Holy Spirit.
There will be no angel surrounded by troops. God gathers the nations against Jerusalem and Jesus intervenes in the future day. Obama has nithing to do with these prophecies.
Oduol Michaels
Jo Kelly: –
I believe in the rapture madam, but it is its timing that is not agreeable. At first, Yeshua (Jesus) returns there shall be Zerubbabel as His king whom He shall set up as the king in Jerusalem. He will be a sign to all the world, that when Yeshua (Jesus) overthrows the Gentile nations then He will set up this Zerubbabel. He is the same person as the son of Eliakim and Hilkiah:
Zerubbabel Chosen as a Signet
20 And again the word of the Lord came to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21 “Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying:
‘I will shake heaven and earth.
22 I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms;
I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms.
I will overthrow the chariots
And those who ride in them;
The horses and their riders shall come down,
Every one by the sword of his brother.
23 ‘In that day,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel My servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says the Lord, ‘and will make you like a signet ring; for I have chosen you,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
Haggai 2:20-23.
THIS IS WHAT IS WRITTEN ABOUT THE MIGHTY SHAKING, OF BOTH HEAVEN AND EARTH. IT HAPPENS AFTER THE DEATH AND RESSURECTION OF (JESUS):
Hear the Heavenly Voice:-
25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,
26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I [a]shake not only the earth, but also heaven.”
27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we [b]may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12:25-29.
Jo Kelly
Oduol Michaels…Jesus Christ is not Michael the Archangel. Michael is a created spiritual being. Jesus is God, the Great “I Am” who was before Abraham and was the Word with God, who was God in the beginning, made manifest in flesh in the fulness of time. It is a false teaching to claim Jesus is Michael.
Oduol Michaels
Jo Kelly: –
The name Israel is a name of a person. There was no nation like Israel, but it came about after the offspring of Jacob were called after the name of their Father, so is the Son of Hilkia and the house of Shebna. Just like Judah is a whole nation, so is Eliakim. And this also stands for Zerubbabel whose God’s spirit remained with, so His house shall be the one to build the temple. His son will protrude forth to go and build the temple in the house of Judah:
4 Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says the LORD; ‘and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the LORD, ‘and work; for I am with you,’ says the LORD of hosts. 5 ‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’
6 “For thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the [a]Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this [b]temple with glory,’ says the LORD of hosts. 8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the LORD of hosts. 9 ‘The glory of this latter [c]temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD of hosts.”
Haggai 2:4-9.
HIGHLIGHTS:
5 ‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’
Haggai 2:5.
It is the same thing as what God did to David, making a covenant with Him. So the house of David is also called David. The same way He made a covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and changed the name of Jacob to Isreal, so God made a covenant with those who build the temple that was destroyed after the time when Jesus was on earth and he went to heaven. And so this last temple shall be build by an offspring of Zerubbabel. This is His lineage:
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel. 13 Zerubbabel begot Abiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor.
Matthew 1:12-13.
Oduol Michaels
I have not declared that Jesus is Michael. What I have declared is that He will send angel Michael in His place. Michael is the one who is going to fight the devil on His behalf!
41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
Matthew 13:39-43.
Oduol Michaels
20 I have found My servant David;
With My holy oil I have anointed him,
21 With whom My hand shall be established;
Also My arm shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not [a]outwit him,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 I will beat down his foes before his face,
And plague those who hate him.
24 “But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,
And in My name his horn shall be exalted.
25 Also I will set his hand over the sea,
And his right hand over the rivers.
Psalm 89:20-25.
Is this same person:
The Mighty Angel with the Little Book
10 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
Revelation 10:1-2.

WAS JESUS NOT KILLED BY HIS ENEMIES. THIS ONE SHALL NOT BE KILLED (Psalm 89:22-23).

Son of David is a Messianic title of Jesus, the Messiah…..
Oduol Michaels
Jo Kelly: –
Then you have not read the context of the detail of Isaiah 22. I was telling you this detail so that you may see who the son of perdition is. It is written that his nation shall trample truth to the ground, and then his portion of sanctuary was taken away. So he was given an army because of this:
10 And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them.
11 he even exalted himself as high as the prince of the host; and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of [a]his sanctuary was cast down.
12 because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to the ground. he did all this and prospered.
Daniel 8:10-12.
The truth shall be on earth as the sands of the sea, but Obama shall come in peace as if he is repented. So he will know what is doing. Remember that there is only one sin that is unpardonable, the blasphemy of the truth. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth, so when you blaspheme him while you are fully aware of what you are doing you cannot be forgiven.
This is what is happening here, that this person called Obama shall lead troops against Jerusalem. He will breaks down the homes in Jerusalem, and he has already done that when he was the president of America. So he divided Jerusalem, and fortified the wall. Later he will even add a pull in the middle when he will be anointed the first president of the Jews.
He will come in peace, and that office belongs to him. But when he betrays their people, he will rally troops against Jerusalem, and that is when angel Michael will calls for a fasting. But they will mock God and make fun of the resurrection, even after seeing the power in angel Michael:
5 For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity by the lord GOD of hosts
in the valley of vision—
breaking down the walls
and of crying to the mountain.
6 elam bore the quiver
with chariots of men and horsemen,
and kir uncovered the shield.
7 it shall come to pass that your choicest valleys
shall be full of chariots,
and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
8 he removed the [a]protection of judah.
you looked in that day to the armor of the house of the forest;
9 you also saw the [b]damage to the city of david,
that it was great;
and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10 you numbered the houses of jerusalem,
and the houses you broke down
to fortify the wall.
11 you also made a reservoir between the two walls
for the water of the old pool.
but you did not look to its maker,
nor did you have respect for him who fashioned it long ago.
12 and in that day the lord GOD of hosts
called for weeping and for mourning,
for baldness and for girding with sackcloth.
13 but instead, joy and gladness,
slaying oxen and killing sheep,
eating meat and drinking wine:
“let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
14 then it was revealed in my hearing by the LORD of hosts,
“surely for this iniquity there will be no atonement for you,
even to your death,” says the lord GOD of hosts.
Isaiah 22:5-14.
Surely for this iniquity there will be no atonement for you, even to your death, “says the lord of hosts (Isaiah 22:14). So this is the named son of perdition according to Thessalonians, what Paul declared that Yeshua (Jesus) shall not return until after the son of perdition is revealed:
The great apostasy: –
2 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you,
2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of [a]Christ had come.
3 let no one deceive you by any means; for that day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called god or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as god in the temple of god, showing himself that he is god.
5 do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?
2 Thessalonians 2:1-5.
Oduol Michaels
Jo Kelly: –
Unless that event in Isaiah 22 that is confirming to 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5 comes to pass, then Yeshua (Jesus) shall not return. He returns when this event happens. And this person comes from the house of Judah as it is written15 thus says the lord GOD of hosts: “(go, proceed to this steward, to Shebna, who is over the house, and say Isaiah 22:15).
Then we shall also see the exchange of his authority to angel Michael. This mocking king will be possessed by the fallen angel called Lucifer (shining one), so no man can fight this man. And the fallen angel had picked a war against angel Michael before, so angel Michael is sent here on earth to end this matter. Therefore this man shall be given the whole world by God in order to betray himself. There he shall die in shame:
The judgment on shebna: –
15 Thus says the lord GOD of hosts:
“go, proceed to this steward,
to Shebna, who is over the house, and say:
16 ‘What have you here, and whom have you here,
that you have hewn a sepulcher here,
as he who hews himself a sepulcher on high,
who carves a tomb for himself in a rock?
17 Indeed, the LORD will throw you away violently,
o mighty man,
and will surely seize you.
18 He will surely turn violently and toss you like a ball
into a large country; there you shall die, and there your glorious chariots
shall be the shame of your master’s house.
19 So I will drive you out of your office,
and from your position [a]he will pull you down.
Isaiah 22:15-19.

@Jo Kelly and Sheila Catherine: –
I shall advise you Madam. Go buy a Bible and read the context of Isaiah 22. You come and tell me if that is not the destruction of Jerusalem. And if it is the destruction of Jerusalem, then the names of the house of Judah appear. I mean, the characters involved are from Israel. Then this prophecy has not yet pass. This is because ever since Yeshua (Jesus) died ion the cross the nation of Israel was scattered and it has never been recovered. Go and do yourself a favor because God’s will can never be changed by men.

Question: “Who was the Joshua in Zechariah 3:1-10?”
Answer: Joshua is mentioned as the high priest in Zechariah 3:1-10, but who exactly was he? First, a disambiguation: the Joshua mentioned in Zechariah is a different person from the Joshua whose name is used as the title of the biblical book of Joshua. That Joshua was the assistant to Moses who led Israel across the Jordan River and led their conquest of the Promised Land in 1400 B.C.
The Joshua of Zechariah 3 was a Levite and descendant of Aaron in post-exilic Jerusalem in approximately 538 B.C. Joshua’s name also appears as “Jeshua” and is listed as one of the first of those returning from Babylon in Nehemiah 7:7: “They came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah. . . .”
The prophet Haggai also refers to the high priest Joshua: “In the second year of Darius the king [537 B.C.], in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by the hand of Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest” (Haggai 1:1).
Joshua would soon help rebuild the temple (Ezra 5:1-2). God used the prophets Haggai and Zechariah to communicate His command to rebuild the temple and encourage the people in their work. Joshua served as the spiritual leader and high priest who supported the effort, and Zerubbabel was the governor of Judah, also involved in the work.
As the first high priest in the rebuilt Jerusalem, Joshua played a significant historical role and was a precursor to Ezra, who came to Jerusalem during the second wave of returning exiles.
God told the prophet Zechariah to place a crown on Joshua’s head: “Take the silver and gold and make a crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak” (Zechariah 6:11). Joshua was already the high priest, and the prophet was to symbolically crown him king. The coronation was to serve as an encouragement to Joshua in his work of rebuilding the temple. Also, it was a visual prophecy of the future Messiah—who would be both high priest (Hebrews 6:20) and king (Matthew 27:11). Significantly, the name “Joshua” is the Hebrew equivalent of the Greek name “Jesus.” Thus, the priest-king Joshua was a foreshadowing of the coming Messiah, and the similarity extended even to his name….Got Questions .com.
