Subject: The Rapture and Its Correlation to the Circle of Life, Death, Rebirth, and Ascension

Date: This Appointed Time (מועד — Mo’ed)

Shalom Aleichem,

In the Name of יהוה (YHWH), the Sovereign Elohim of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Ya’akov, I address the leaders of the global assembly (קהל — Qahal) and the rulers of the nations. The purpose of this memorandum is to unveil the prophetic pattern that governs existence — life, death, rebirth, and ascension — and to illuminate how the event known as the “Rapture” (לקיחה — Lekichah) aligns with this eternal cycle.

The Rapture is not an isolated event but rather a culmination of the divine blueprint embedded in creation itself. It is the fulfillment of the promise of the Kingdom (מלכות — Malkhut), the restoration of the righteous remnant, and the completion of the cycle that began in Gan Eden (גן עדן — Garden of Eden).

I. The Circle of Life in the Divine Order

From the foundation of the world, יהוה set in motion a recurring pattern reflected in nature, human experience, and biblical prophecy:

1. Life (Chayim — חיים):

• “And יהוה Elohim formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.” (Bereshit/Genesis 2:7)

• Life is the divine gift that begins with the breath (נשמה — Neshamah) of Elohim, marking our earthly sojourn.

2. Death (Mavet — מוות):

• “For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.” (Bereshit/Genesis 3:19)

• Death is a transition, not an end, for the soul (נפש — Nefesh) continues beyond the physical realm.

3. Rebirth (Techiyah — תחיה):

• “I will put My Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, יהוה, have spoken it and performed it.” (Yechezkel/Ezekiel 37:14)

• Rebirth is the renewal of life through divine intervention, both spiritually and physically.

4. Ascension (Aliyah — עלייה):

• “After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven… And immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.” (Hitgalut/Revelation 4:1–2)

• Ascension represents the final transformation into glory, where mortality is exchanged for immortality.

This divine cycle governs all creation, from the death and rebirth of the seasons to the spiritual journey of every soul.

II. The Rapture as the Fulfillment of the Divine Cycle

The event commonly referred to as the “Rapture” is not a mere escape from tribulation but the prophetic completion of this cycle on a cosmic scale.

1. Life in the Present Age (Olam HaZeh — עולם הזה)

• The faithful live as ambassadors of the Kingdom (2 Corinthians 5:20), called to walk in righteousness and prepare for the coming redemption.

2. Death to the Flesh (Mavet Basar — מוות בשר)

• “I have been crucified with Messiah; it is no longer I who live, but Messiah lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20)

• The spiritual death of self precedes transformation into the image of the divine.

3. Rebirth into Incorruption (Techiyat HaMetim — תחיית המתים)

• “Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed — in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last shofar.” (1 Corinthians 15:51–52)

• The Rapture is the fulfillment of resurrection, where the righteous receive glorified bodies, freed from the corruption of sin.

4. Ascension to the Throne Room (Aliyat HaTzadikim — עליית הצדיקים)

• “Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up (Harpazo — ἁρπάζω) together with them in the clouds to meet the Adon in the air.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17)

• As Enoch (Chanoch) and Eliyahu (Elijah) ascended, so shall the righteous be gathered unto יהוה.

This event is not a detour from tribulation but the fulfillment of the plan set forth from the beginning — life, death, rebirth, and ascension into the presence of Elohim.

III. The Call to the Nations and the Assembly of the Saints

The time is at hand for the fulfillment of all things. The nations must prepare, and the assembly of the righteous must be ready.

1. To the Church (Kehilat Mashiach — קהילת משיח):

• Strengthen what remains, for the time of purification is near (Hitgalut/Revelation 3:2).

• Walk in holiness and truth, for only the wise virgins with oil in their lamps shall enter (Mattityahu/Matthew 25:1–13).

2. To the Governments of the Earth:

• Your authority is given by יהוה, and you will be judged according to your stewardship (Daniel 2:21, Romans 13:1).

• The true King is coming, and every knee shall bow (Philippians 2:10–11).

3. To the People of the World:

• Choose this day whom you will serve (Yehoshua/Joshua 24:15).

• Do not be deceived by false saviors, for the true redemption comes from יהוה alone.

Conclusion: The Restoration of All Things

As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end. The Rapture is not an escape but an elevation — a divine appointment for those who have walked the path of life, death, and rebirth. The Kingdom of יהוה is at hand. The faithful will ascend, as foretold, to reign with Messiah.

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” (Hitgalut/Revelation 2:7)
