says, Wherewith Thine enemies have taunted, O Lord, wherewith Thine enemies he taunted the footsteps of
Thine anointed (Ps. LXXXIX: 52), and immediately afterwards it is written, Blessed be the Lord for evermore,
Amen and Amen‘.‖
After the fifth seal is opened, the next seal is opened and speaks of a devastating earthquake. Verse 7 in
Matthew 24 also mentions earthquakes.
(12) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the
sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
(13) And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is
shaken of a mighty wind.
(14) And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island
were moved out of their places.‖ (Rev 6:12-14)
Cosmic disturbances and earthquakes on earth will be the order of the day when this seal is opened.
24:11 And shall deceive many―And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.‖
Deception will be the order of the day! The rise of the False Prophet – he will be very active in the second
half of the tribulation; his character is in the following verse in Rev 13:
―And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of
men,‖ (Rev 13:13)
But the build-up for the deception has already started in our day as well: When people come to a faith in
Y‘shua based in Torah, some of their worst enemies may be their friends and family – including those who
think that they are the ones with the "truth" and that the Torah-observant person is even doing Satan's will
(by supposedly bringing them under the "bondage of law").
For more information on how this is actually becoming a reality, see commentary in Signs of the Times -
Growing Christian anti-Torah Hostility, in the Opinions Section of YashaNet.
24:12-13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved―(12) And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (13) But he that shall endure
unto the end, the same shall be saved.‖
Iniquity may be considered the same as sin, which is defined according to one standard – YHWH's Torah:
―Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law [Torah]: for sin is the transgression of the law
[Torah].‖ (1 John 3:4)
Torah is what we are to use as our criteria to know if we are following YHWH:
―But whoso looketh into the perfect law [Torah] of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful
hearer, but a doer of the work [Torah], this man shall be blessed in his deed‖. (James 1:25)
Those who missed the rapture and endure to the end of the 7 years of tribulation in faith of Y‘shua and be
doers of the Torah will be saved. That is, if you run the race to the end and if you do not accept the 666
mark.
Y‘shua places a stipulation which we are to endure. The idea of some "guaranteed salvation" based on
simply "what you believe" is foreign to the Hebrew Scriptures.
Paul did not even make such a claim for himself:
(11) ―If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
(12) Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may
apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Y‘shua Jesus.
(13) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things
which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
