Subject: Signs of the Times and the Great Gathering — A Call to Prepare for the Harpazo
Shalom Aleichem,
The hour is late, and the prophetic clock nears its fulfillment. Let those with ears to hear and eyes to see recognize the urgency of this time. As it is written in Mattityahu (Matthew) 24:42:
“Watch therefore, for you do not know in what hour your Lord comes.”
The moment of the great Harpazo (ἁρπάζω) — the catching away, known in Hebrew as הַתַּלְקָחוּת (HaTalkaḥut) — approaches swiftly.
THE REALM OF THE RAPTURE: SPIRITUAL, EARTHLY, OR BOTH?
The Harpazo is neither solely of the earth nor of the heavens but a divine convergence of both. As spoken through Sha’ul (Paul) in 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17:
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with Elohim’s shofar. The dead in Messiah will rise first, then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.”
1. The Spiritual Realm
The first manifestation occurs in the Shamayim (שָׁמַיִם — Heavens), where the souls of the righteous — those who have walked in covenant obedience — will be gathered to the King’s presence. The righteous dead will partake in the first resurrection, as written in Ḥazon (Revelation) 20:6:
“Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection.”
2. The Earthly Realm
For those alive at the time of the Rapture, a transformation will occur in an instant, as declared in 1 Corinthians 15:51–52:
“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed — in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.”
The earthly impact will be immediate and chaotic — governments shaken, systems collapsing, and the world plunged into the tribulation period known as the Tzara HaGadol (צָרָה הַגָּדוֹל — The Great Trouble).
THE KINGDOMS IMPACTED: CELESTIAL, TELESTIAL, OR TERRESTRIAL?
The Harpazo will reverberate across all realms of existence:
• Celestial Kingdom (מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמַיִם — Malkhut HaShamayim): The righteous will be gathered into Elohim’s presence.
• Telestial Kingdom (מַלְכוּת הַכּוֹכָבִים — Malkhut HaKokhavim): The realm of fallen beings and lower orders will witness the righteous’ departure.
• Terrestrial Kingdom (מַלְכוּת הָאָרֶץ — Malkhut HaAretz): The earthly realm will experience upheaval as Elohim’s people are removed, ushering in divine judgment.
IS THE RAPTURE A ONE-TIME EVENT OR RECURRING?
The Harpazo is both a singular culmination and a recurring principle in Elohim’s divine order. As it was with Chanokh(Enoch) in Bereishit 5:24 and Eliyahu (Elijah) in 2 Kings 2:11, so too will there be multiple ascensions. The final and ultimate Rapture will align with the last trumpet, marking the end of this dispensation and the dawn of Messiah’s millennial reign.
CALL TO PREPARE
This is the season of Teshuvah (תשובה — Repentance). Return to the covenant of Adonai. Strengthen what remains. Do not be found among the mockers and scoffers, as warned in 2 Peter 3:3–4:
“Knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming?’”
The global Church and the nations must heed the signs. Prepare your hearts, households, and communities. The Groom stands at the door.
Maranatha (מָרָנָא תָא) — Come, Master Yahshua!
