The Jews Are Looking For Their Messiah, Not A Savior

2nd Thessalonians 2:1-4, “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”

Jews traditionally believe in a future messiah, known as the “Mashiach,” who will be a human leader from the line of King David, rather than a divine Savior in Christianity. This False Messiah is expected to bring peace and restore Israel, but the concept does not include the idea of atonement for sin through Jesus' sacrifice. Scripturally, the Jews and Arabs alike will embrace the future Man of Sin, the Antichrist, as their messiah.

Tragically, both Jews and Arabs vehemently reject Jesus as the true Messiah. Consequently they will be woefully deceived and damned. In fact, the whole world will be deceived (Revelation 12:9). I humbly believe that the Rapture could happen at any time. Jesus foretold in mark 13:32-37 that no man, nor even the angels, know the time of His future return. 

Although some good preachers deny that this passage applies to the Rapture, I don't see what else it could refer to if not the Rapture. Mark 13:32-37 cannot refer to Jesus' Second Coming. Here's why. Daniel 12:11, “And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.” Christ's Second Coming can be calculated down to the exact day from the middle of the Tribulation. It will be 1,290 days (3 ½ years).

The path to Heaven is very narrow, and few there be that find it (Luke 13:23-24). There is only one true Savior and His precious name is Jesus (Acts 4:10-12).
