*** ALIVE & REMAIN ***

Hello friend,

Years ago I was reading in the book of Thessalonians as I was researching the various “rapture” passages. I was making an attempt to understand all the various positions; and, their arguments so that I could solidify what I believe; and, why I believe it; especially concerning the “gathering” aka the “rapture” of those ADONAI YHVH (Yeshua) calls His upon His return.

When I was digging into 1 Thessalonians 4:15 I found myself asking questions; and, data mining the text. Here is what it says. I will use the NKJV as the starting point as that is the same physical Bible I use to read; however, with E-Sword I have access to 46 different Bible texts to include the Greek for both testaments; the Hebrew for both Testaments; the Aramaic Peshitta; and, the Arabic Bible. You should check it out. It’s an excellent Bible Study resource.

1 Thessalonians 4:15-18:

“15. For this we say to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of an archangel; and, with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”

As I was pondering this passage I noticed that twice (2X) it uses the phrase "alive and remain." I was wondering why we would actually need to comfort one another if this event is supposed to be something that Christians globally look forward to. This led to my curiosity regarding the underlying Greek of the term “remain” so I looked it up in E-Sword. Here is what I discovered.

The specific Greek term used is (περιλειπόμενοι) G4035 perileiomenoi. This term is a verb which implies an action. The root of this term is made up of two (2) words. 

περί (G4012) a preposition and λείπω (G3007) a verb. 

 

The Outline of Biblical usage tells us this means:

to leave over, remain over, to survive

Strong's tells us it means: to leave all around, i.e. (passively) survive: -- remain. 

When I learned this I decided to insert this meaning into the text instead of using the word most Bibles use which is “REMAIN.”

This actually makes the passage even more clear saying that those of us who are alive; and, survive until the coming of the Lord [ADONAI YESHUA] shall be “caught up;” friend this is a reference to the gathering of YHVH's people. If you have never bothered to study out "gather, gathers, gathered, gathering" you should. There is a LOT more data in the LXX if you bother to look for it.

If we search the Bible’s text for this term (περιλειπόμενοι) "remain" in the LXX; The Greek Translation of the Old Testament, we DON'T find it at all. zero, zilch, nada. 

So I wondered if we are to “survive;” what might we need to “survive;” and, was there other data within the Bible’s text to offer more information for our understanding? Searching for the English term “survive” with BlueLetterBible.com yields the following:

It tells us that there are no concordance result for "survive" in the KJV. However we do see that it appears in other translations.

Although the NLT yields the more frequent usage; and, appearance I decided to look into the NKJV since that I use for my own personal daily reading. Of the (3) three listed appearances there was only one (1) that garnered my attention; most specifically Ezekiel 7:16. Here is what it declares:

Ezekiel 7:16

‘Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains Like doves of the valleys, All of them mourning, Each for his iniquity.

Take note that this passage equates survival with "escape."

SURVIVAL = ESCAPE

This particular passage in Ezekiel Chapter 7 informs us about the “doom” that is to come upon THE LAND OF ISRAEL; and, those who dwell there. 

It speaks of the Judgment of the LORD (YHVH) יהוה; a disaster; a “day of trouble;” where YAH (יה) pours out HIS FURY; and, HIS ANGER upon the people dwelling within the Land of Israel. 

Why? 

Because of their abominations; and, because of what they have done to HIS PEOPLE.

*  Ezekiel 7:12 declares “...wrath is on their whole multitude”
*  Ezekiel 7:13 is most troubling.

“No one will strengthen himself who lives in iniquity…
For My wrath is on all their multitude.

* Ezekiel 7:19 tells us that THIS is the day of the Wrath of YAHUAH.
* Ezekiel 7:24 “Therefore I will bring the WORST of the GENTILES”

Who are the WORST of the Gentiles? 

This term for WORST means “EVIL.” 

These people whom YHWH (יהוה) sends against the Land of Israel are considered to be EVIL by YHVH (יהוה). Meaning, they do NOT worship Him; nor, do they keep His ways. What Is righteous to YHVH (יהוה) is abomination to them. 

What is abomination to YHVH (יהוה) is practiced by them.

They reject His sabbaths; His feasts; His ways; His statutes; His Commandments; His Judgments; His Ordinances. This is a people who have completely rejected Him; however, He still uses them to accomplish His purposes.

It is my own belief that these “Gentiles” are the Muslim hordes who come against the Land of Israel in the Last days to cause bitter destruction. I am not alone in my assessment. 

YHVH (יהוה) has caused them to harden their hearts; and, uses this evil multitude who shall come as locusts upon the land to bring about the incredible destruction the world shall witness. Why? Because the multitude that dwells there in the land of Israel lives in Iniquity; and, allows abominations to exist within the land of Israel.

Friend. Were you aware that Barak Hussein Obama is called "The Locust King" by the Bible Codes? Yes my friends. He plays a role too. He played his role in aiding Islam to infiltrate America with Millions; and, millions of Muslims of fighting age who have zero intention of integrating; and, are here to establish Sharia Law in the United States either by ballot; or, by bullet. 

Again. They are here to conquer the West. Will you escape what they intend to do to this Great Nation? Do you not know they have over 1,400 years of history we can reference to see what they do; and, how they do it? See what the Bible codes say about Obama the Locust King.

As I continued to read I would find verse 27 that has a connection to Daniel 9:26. Here is what it declares.

Ezekiel 7: 27

“The King will mourn, the prince [NASI: נָשִׂיא] will be clothed with desolation; and, the hands of the common people will tremble. I will do to them according to their way. And according to what they deserve I will judge them; then they shall know that I am the LORD.”

Because Daniel and Revelation were both topics of my own study; and, teaching for six years when I volunteered serving in Prison Ministry in Southern California; this passage garnered my attention as if someone had poked me with a stick in my ribs.

The term NASI (נָשִׂיא) was the position held by the President of the Sanhedrin in ancient Israel. Ezekiel is telling us this person will be clothed with desolation. 

The passage in Daniel that I consider a “sister passage” is Daniel 9:26-27 which includes fulfillment in both the distant past of Israel; and, in a future fulfillment yet to occur. Here is what it says:

Daniel 9:26-27

26.  “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off; but, not for Himself; and, THE PEOPLE OF THE PRINCE (נָגִיד) [nagid] WHO IS TO COME [THIS IS NOT MESSIAH YESHUA BUT ANTICHRIST] shall destroy the city; and, the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood; and, till the end of the war desolations are determined.

27. Then He [the nagid] shall bring an end to sacrifice; and, offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consumption, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate.”

NAGID: - meaning “ruler, prince, captain, leader, governor, a commander”

History teaches us that the City of Jerusalem was destroyed by the Roman Empire in 70 AD; however, the specific legion of the Roman military that was actually responsible for breaching the city wall; and, setting fire to the temple was just (1) of four (4) which surrounded the city. 

This massive Army was commanded by the Roman Emperor Vespasian

* V Macedonica

* X Fretensis (10th Legion of the Strait)

* XV Apollinaris

* XII Fulminata

Also participating in the fight are: 

* III Cyrenaica legions from Egypt

* XXII Deiotariana legions from Egypt,

* 28 Infantry Cohorts

* 8 Calvary Syrian Irregulars

According to Tacitus, "a strong force of Arabs", driven by long standing enmity toward the Jews, also joined the campaign. This combined force, estimated at a minimum of 48,200 soldiers.

The particular Legion that was responsible for breaching the City wall; and, setting fire to the Temple was X FRETENSIS. What is interesting to note is one of the symbols of this Legion; the bull which was the holy animal of the goddess Venus (the morning star) along with the God Neptune (Poseidon); and, a boar an unclean animal.

This particular Legion was stationed at Zeugma on the eastern frontier, located in modern Gaziantep province in Turkey. Presumably recruited from locals, they would be what the Romans would have called SYRIANS.

There is this idea of a Revived Roman Empire; and, that the Antichrist will himself be a “Roman.” However if we deeply examine WHO were the people that actually breached the city wall setting fire to the temple; it gives us another story entirely.

Turks; Arabs; Syrians (Assyrians)

Interestingly enough the Bible declares information about the Assyrian; a title many believe is reserved for the Antichrist; and, his armies that shall come against Israel.

Isaiah 10:24

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: “O My people, who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of Egypt.


Isaiah 14:25

That I will break the Assyrian in My land, And on My mountains tread him underfoot. Then his yoke shall be removed from them, And his burden removed from their shoulders.


Micah 5:5

And this One shall be peace. When the Assyrian comes into our land, And when he treads in our palaces, Then we will raise against him Seven shepherds and eight princely men.


Micah 5:6

They shall waste with the sword the land of Assyria, And the land of Nimrod at its entrances; Thus He shall deliver us from the Assyrian, When he comes into our land And when he treads within our borders.

Once more we shall see Israel fall; once more we shall see war that shall engulf many nations in the days ahead of the return of the True & Living God; the Creator of all things. 

I tell you the truth. Islam has immigrated to many nations with the help of many politicians who have sold out their nations; and, their own people to wage a war against their own citizens 

In the New Testament Adonai Yeshua Himself declares the following in Luke 21:36:

“Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to ESCAPE all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Friend it is my belief that we need to examine all the passages within the Bible itself; and, within Apocryphal writings pertaining to the terms “survive;” and, “escape.” Why? Because of Ezekiel 7:16.

Ezekiel 7:16


‘Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains Like doves of the valleys, All of them mourning, Each for his iniquity.

My suggestion is to use Blueletterbible.com and the NLT to examine “survive.”


Should we search for “escape” this is what we discover.



The Four (4) other Bibles that contained the most frequent usage; and, appearance are the following:

• NLT (91 Times)
• LSB (94 Times)
• AMP (98 Times)
• NET (95 Times)

It is my emphatic suggestion that you use these four translations in your own study to hit all passages to give you the fullest understanding of what the Bible is teaching us about ESCAPE.


What do we need to escape from?


War(s), pestilence(s), famine(s), and plagues among which are an existing live military operation (currently ongoing) encompassing a very real satanic depopulation agenda; again, a man-made depopulation (vaccines) protocol “pharmacopeia” (sorceries).

SEE REV. 9:21, REV. 18:23.


Friend, we have all been lied to about what are NOT “Vaccines;” but, are in reality “Countermeasures.” We have been betrayed with LIES & DECEPTIONS that have been weaponized against all of us. I tell you the truth. What has been written in the book of Revelation shall come to pass; and, many will not escape. 

Their design? 

To rob us of life; and, health. To kill, maim, disable; and, cause many diseases to come upon us by way of deception
