Now, If u have a pattern to show me in Scripture where people are taken to *heaven* so as to avoid tribulation, then we will get down to an interesting discussion!

In Revelation, in the
letter to the Philadelphia assembly, Yahowsha tells that assembly, because "you have carefully attended to and observed My Word, and have not denied or disregarded My proper and personal name, indeed I also will watch over you and carefully attend to you, keeping you out of the hour of tribulation which shall come upon the whole of the inhabitants of the world…" That sounds like being out of this world to me! If Yahowah were to try to protect us THROUGH the tribulation instead, where would we be for protection? Antarctica? BRRRRR!!! Israel is going to be hotly contested. The U.S., Russia, and western Europe are probably going to be nuked. Any island nation is likely to be submerged on Friday the 13th of April 2029 (talk about an unlucky day!) when the Apophis asteroid hits. Not to mention that would mean Yahowah subjecting his family to the first three trumpet JUDGMENTS. I think it's going to be
"That's it. I'm outta here. You can't make me…" with regard to living on Earth past Yom Teruah, 2026.
I did catch up to Yada's podcasts for April, and his translation of Yashayahu 17 & 18. From those podcasts, it sounds like a future U.S. president similar to Obama forces Israel back inside its pre-1967 borders, prompting Yahowah to do the equivalent of yelling "God damn it!!! (And I will, too!) This is the last straw! [breathe and count to ten a couple times, then say] "All right, my family, Earth is no longer a suitable neighborhood for you to hang around in, and I love you too much to let you suffer any of what these satanic fools are about to cause. Time to come home." Perhaps the less-than-voluntary stuffing of Israel back inside its pre-1967 borders is the "covenant with many" that the Antichrist CONFIRMS with many. As I recall, in Future History, Ken mentioned the words to describe that covenant implied something crammed down the throats of the affected parties contrary to their will, much like Obamacare was crammed down the throats of the American citizenry. I remember Yada saying on the podcasts that the indefensible borders apparently prompts large waves of Islamic terrorists to flood into Israel, but I also remember Future History mentioning apparently an all-Islamic military invasion as well, coming from the north and east (like Iran), on which Yahowah rains down fire and brimstone to annihilate the Muslims. That sounds a bit different from "suddenly blowing them out". Maybe it's a terrorist invasion, then after Yahowah blows them out, the Muslims don't take the hint, and try a conventional military invasion next, and Yahowah has to respond more strongly still. That scenario would allow the Yom Teruah harvest to occur in 2026, with a gap of just a few months. With the "covenant with many" already having its terms set, it would seem to be a small matter to "confirm" it in the United Nations on Saturday November 14, 2026 (or in New York time, the afternoon of Friday the 13th).
