Whilst in the Worldwide Church of God under Mr Herbert W Armstrong where he used the concept that Christ was going to rule on EARTH, the scriptures used were Zech.14:4-5 and 1 Thess. 4:17. Page 309 Mystery of the ages. The doctrine being that the resurrected saints and others being changed would meet Christ in the air and that very same day come down out of the clouds and stand with him on the Mount of Olives.
This doctrine is partly associated with the Secret Rapture Theory and recently a sect in America apparently waited on a mountain in America for Christ to descend with a space ship to carry them back to heaven; which of course didn't happen.
While there are elements of truth in what HWA said and what the Rapturist's and the sects say, overall the basic doctrine is again FALSE. This will be covered in the article The Marriage Supper of the Lamb. So....
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Most of the teachers in the Sabbath-keeping movement over the past century have taught that the saints will never go to heaven (Adventists being the major exception), not even for the Marriage Supper. A close examination of the book of Revelation and several other passages make this view untenable. For those of you willing to entertain the possibility that The Heavenly Father will be in attendance at His Son Yahshua's wedding, Yahweh and His servant hold out for you the glorious hope of tabernacling in the paradise of Elohim (the 3rd Heaven, see II Cor.12:2, 4) during the bulk of events described in Rev.7 through 18. prior to returning to earth with Yahshua in Revelation 19:11-15.
That no man has ascended into heaven heretofore (except He Who came down from heaven, the only begotten Son Yahshua) is supported by John 3:13 and Acts 2:29, 34. In this area I am still in agreement with the Church of God Sabbatarians, et.al. The gargantuan Oxford scholar, author of the Companion Bible--E.W. Bullinger--also lamented preachers who implied that people went straight to a conscious reward in heaven at death. The scriptural view of death and the fact that our souls are not immortal negates this common assumption.
With this kind of doctrinal background, and having studied for the ministry for four years at Ambassador College, I was the least likely individual to have his mind opened to the idea of going to heaven. For those, like myself who are fervent believers in the Law of Yahweh, who might be prejudiced, as was I, against this idea, I say, "Open your mind a little, only a fool will answer a matter before he hears it." In my travels I have found a number of very conservative, strict Sabbath-keeping Christians who, to my great surprise, had also come to believe the Wedding Supper must be in heaven.
As far as that goes, the Apostle Paul [who was very zealous of the Torah, "believing all things written in the Law and the Prophets" (Acts 24:15)], described a remarkably vivid experience where he had been caught up "to paradise", "snatched away to the third heaven" (11 Cor.12:2, 4). The Greek word for caught up or snatched away is harpazo, which means "to seize, to snatch away, to pluck out, catch away or up." It will figure prominently in our ongoing discussion of this topic and the resurrection of the dead. It enables us to link as one the events of I Thes.4:15-17 with Rev.12:5, where harpazo also used of the catching up to heaven at the resurrection.
What I find even more remarkable is the fact that Paul says plainly that he may have been taken bodily to heaven. "Whether in a body I am not aware, or outside of the body, I am not aware Yahweh knows". Yet it is a rare Sabbatarian indeed who will acknowledge that Paul was possibly taken bodily to the third heaven. This merely shows their indoctrination and prejudice. These will have to be removed in order to arrive at the truth. But surely we can all agree, based on 11 Cor. 12, that it is not heresy to entertain the notion of going to heaven.
Mark 13: 25-27, which deals with the Return of Christ, says: The powers in the heavens shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in clouds with much power and glory. And then shall He dispatch His angels and assemble His chosen from the four winds, from the uttermost part of earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
This passage, when taken at face value, plainly describes the snatching away of Yahweh'sElect by the angels, and their being gathered to the extremity of heaven. And the dwelling place of Yahweh is spoken of in scripture as being at the extremity of heaven. Notice Isa. 13:2-6:
Lift up a banner (Heb. nace = the ensign to the nations, Yahshua) upon the high mountain (Babylon), exalt the voice unto them ... I've commanded my sanctified ones (glorified saints), I have also called My mighty ones (other heavenly hosts) for Mine anger, even them that rejoice in My Highness. The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like that of a great people (compare the theme here and word usage with Rev. 19:1,6,14, where the same event is described); a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of the nations. gathered together: Yahweh of Hosts musters (calls up) an army for the battle.
They ( Yahweh's army from heaven) come from a distant land, from the end of the heavens (see any good literal translation, ie. Green's Interlinear); and the weapons of His indignation, to destroy the whole land.
{This passage is not talking about the Second Coming, but rather Yahshua's return from, the Wedding Supper in Heaven to vanquish the Gentiles in Rev. 19:7,14-15. As we shall see, this is seven years after the Second coming Rev. 6:12-17. Isa.13 above matches Rev. 19:15 in that Christ has His saints with Him on this trip, unlike the initial coming when they are in their graves and on the earth.
Four places in Revelation some form of the "Who is, Who was, and Who is to come" occurs in the KJV (Rev.1:4, 4:8,11:17,16:5). But as E. W. Bullinger, points out, the oldest manuscripts leave off the "is to come" in the latter two (Rev 11:17 and 16:5).[Later copyists added the phrase in error.] The omission of "is to come" - in Rev. 11:17 strongly suggests that Christ's return occurs Prior to the events of Revelation chapter 11. Chapter 6 is the only plausible place for His initial return.
Psalm 19:6 also speaks of Yahshua and Elohim's address being "the end of the heaven." It also speaks of the Saviour making a complete circuit back to His Father's House. Notice:
The son is as a Bridegroom (Mal. 4:2 calls Yahshua "the Son of Righteousness with healing in his wings.") coming out of His chamber (wedding canopy), rejoicing as a strong man to run a race [with the voice of the archangel (see I Thes. 4:15-16)]. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and His circuit (back) unto the ends of it (heaven).
I would suggest that the Bridegroom is in a hurry ("running a race") because He is coming to rescue His Bride from the Fifth Seal Tribulation, and "rejoicing" to gather her together with the dead in Christ [Abraham, Jeremiah, Noah, Peter, Paul, John, etc.].
Therefore, Yahshua's feet do not stand on the Mt. of Olives at the Second Coming, as so many Christians have assumed. That reference to Zech.14:4 lines up with events of the 7th vial in Rev. 16:14, 18. Rev.19:15 also refers to this vial, the fierceness of Yahweh's wrath. Notice that the great earthquake that divides the city of Jerusalem into three parts is identical with the splitting of the Mount of Olives in Zech.14:4.
Why should it seem strange to us who keep the appointed times (Heb. moedim = festivals, gatherings for worship and instruction) of Yahweh, that He should want them to meet with Him in Heaven before coming back to earth to rule? What makes us think we can rule below before receiving personal instruction from Yahweh Himself on High?
It will come as a surprise to many that the term Armageddon is derived from the Hebrew moedim, and refers primarily to our gathering place in heaven, and only secondarily to a location on earth. How do I know this?
Armageddon occurs in the New Testament only in one verse--Rev. 16:16: And they gathered them at the place called, in Hebrew, 'Armageddon.' The ones being gathered are those remaining alive at the time of the 7th vial who are watching and keeping the garments unspotted by the flesh. And though there is Valley of Megiddo and a Mt. Megiddo North of Jerusalem, to which the kings of the earth will be gathered at the 7th vial, there is also an original Armageddon in heaven mentioned in the Old Testament. Notice Isa. 14:13:
"How you have fallen from heaven, bright morning star (Lucifer), felled to the earth ... You thought in your own mind, I will scale the heavens; I will set my throne high above the stars of Elohim, I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: (v. 14) 1 will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High." [The phrase in bold print is Armageddon in the Hebrew]
It is this author's opinion that the gathering to heaven mentioned in Rev. 16:16 is the last of several which take place between the 6th seal and the 7th vial, a seven year period. For instance, the Two Witnesses, after the resurrection, are called up to heaven by a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Ascend here." (Rev. 11:12) This is half way between the 6th seal and 7th vial.
When Yahshua says in Rev. 16:15, "Lo, I am coming as a thief Blessed is he who is watching and keeping his garments, that he may not be walking naked, and they see his shame," the reference is to Sardis Christians who have been left behind at the Second Coming. Remember the warning He gave Sardis in Rev. 3:3:
If then you should not be watching, I shall be coming on you as a thief, and you shall notknow what hour I shall be arriving on you.
Had Sardis been watching during the 5th seal events (which we are presently experiencing), she could have known what hour He would be coming, as the passage strongly implies. As it is, only a few names in Sardis do not pollute their garments (Rev. 3:4), and hence find themselves unready and unprepared at His Coming. They are left behind to learn lessons of obedience and faith until the 7th vial, described in Rev. 16:15, which alludes to Laodicea when it speaks about not walking naked and others seeing their shame. Remember in Rev. 3:18 He advised Laodiceans ... to buy of Me gold refined by fire (a reference to the testing of our faith), and white garments (the acknowledgement of sin, and the pleading for forgiveness), that you may be clothed, and the shame of your nakedness may not appear.
But if many are left behind for testing and trial, the implication is that the few from our generation who are not left behind are taken somewhere else. These few are called the Elect, the 144,000 of Rev. 7 and 14, or the "man child" of Rev. 12:5. According to Rev. 14:3- 4, they "have been bought from the earth," and "bought from mankind."
They are firstfruits to Elohim and to the Lamb. In other words, the first individuals to mature spiritually and be harvested out of the earth (we prove elsewhere that this occurs at the opening of the 6th seal). Since the resurrection occurs at the 6th seal, the 144,000 and great multitude are from every generation of believers.
The preposition "from" is the Greek apo meaning "away from". E. W. Bullinger gives a description of the difference between various prepositions in Appendix 104:iv of the Companion Bible. "Apo denotes motion away from the surface of an object, as a line drawn from the circumference."
The following illustrates the difference between the three prepositions translated "from" in the New testament:
Bullinger's explanation continues: "Hence, apo is used of motion away from a place, marking the distance which separates the two places. Apo may consequently be used of deliverance..."!
Why the man child OF REV.12:5 IS NOT YAHSHUA HIMSELF:
Reason 1. Symbolically, that would make the travailing woman Mary, who we know did notflee into "the wilderness" for 1260 days after the birth of Yahshua.
Reason 2. Neither the Devil or Herod stood before Mary ready to devour her child as soon as it was born. By the time the wise men arrived, Mary and Joseph and baby Yashua were in a house, and between 1 and 2 years had elapsed. This is why Herod had all children 2 and under killed.
Reason 3. The word used for "caught up" to God and His throne (obviously this is very much like a rapture to heaven, but it is not referring to Christ's ascension) is "harpazo" here (which is used In I Thes. 4:17 of the "snatching away" of the Elect to meet the Lord in the air). The words used for Christ's ascension in Acts chap. 1, Luke 24:51 (analambano, anaphero), have a different meaning than "to seize or snatch away", and mean "to carry up or away". Christ was carried up to heaven, not seized and snatched away. When anone the evangelist was transported miraculously in Acts 8, the word there is harpazo.
Reason 4. John is in the spirit on "the Lord's Day" (Rev. 1:10). This time period refers to all the prophecies in the Old Testament that speak of "in that Day", or "the Day of the Lord". John is seeing "in the spirit" or in vision all the various events which transpire just before, and after, Christ's second coming.
Therefore, it does not make sense that John would rehash the birth or the ascension of Yashua, which are not germaine to the subject of the end-time "day of the Lord". Those are subjects covered in the four gospels and Acts 1.
Getting back to Rev. 14, we see further that the 144,000 were not defiled by women (symbolic of lumbering, slumbering, obstinate, Word-rejecting church organizations), for they are (spiritual) virgins:
These are they following the lamb wherever He goes. These had been purchased from among (apo) men to be the firstfruits unto Elohim and to the lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile (delusion, deceit): for they are blameless before the throne of Elohim. (verse 4) John 14:2 says:
In My Father's house (heaven) are many abodes; yet if not I would have told you, for I am going to make ready a place for you. And if I should be going and making ready a place for you, I am coming again and will be taking you along to Myself, that where I am, you also may be. And where I am going you are aware, and of the way you are aware.
Thomas answered Him, "Lord, we are not aware of where You are going..."
Though everyone in the Church of God and Sacred Names Sabbatarian movement seems mired in the ambiguity of Doubting Thomas, it seems evident to me that:
1. Thomas did not know the place where He was going (heaven).
2. The subject at the head of the passage is "My Father's-House" (heaven).
3. It is illogical to think He is talking of some other place on earth.
Going back to Rev.14:2, it seems apparent that the 144,000 are in heaven during the time there depicted, midway between the Trumpets and Vials. Notice:
I hear a voice out of heaven as the voice of many waters ... and the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four beasts, and the (24) elders.
If we compare Rev.14:2 with Heb.12:18,22, we come away with further corroboration that the Mount Zion spoken of in the former, is identical to the latter, both being in heaven. Heb.12:18, 22:
For ye are not come unto the Mount (Sinai) that might be touched, and that
burned with fire... (v.22) But you have come to Mount
Zion, and the city of the Living Elohim,
heavenlyJerusalem, before a myriad of angels, and the
ekklesia (assembly, or congregation) of the firstborn registered in the
heavens, and to the Judge of all.
Surely the saints pictured in Rev. 7,14,15,19:1 and elsewhere have come fully
to that reward in heaven. Their first arrival in heaven is described in Rev. 7.
The backdrop for chapter 7 is the sealing and gathering to Elohim's throne of
the Elect from the "four winds of the earth" (cp. Matt.24:31, Mark 13:27 with
Ezek. 7:2 and Rev.7:1. There are a number of reasons to suggest these passages
all describe the same point in time.) That the resurrection of the dead
occurs here is evident from Rev.7:16: "They (the Elect) shall hunger no more,
neither be thirsting any more, nor the sun falling on them." That the
innumerable multitude are before a heavenly throne (and not an earthly) follows
from the statement that "the sun shall not light on them, nor any
scorching heat."
It amazes me that many of my fellow Sabbatarians want the throne of Rev.
7:10-11 to be on earth. How can this be when it says "all the angels stood
around the throne, and the (24) elders and the four living creatures"? These
same elements are present in the original description of the Father's throne in
Rev. 4:2-6 And it is Elohim the Father Who is the focal point of the worship
(v.10-12). Therefore, the locus must be the 3rd heaven. Denial of
these facts is a peculiar blindness borne of earthly-minded carnality and lack
of faith in the literalness of Yah's Word. I find it very similar to the
Sadducean denial of angels and of the resurrection of the dead.
We are told in Rev.7:14 that this great multitude came out of Great
Tribulation (thlipsis megales,), ie. 5th seal. They washed their
robes white in the blood of the Lamb:
"Because of this, they are before the throne of Elohim (the Father), and
serve Him day and night (a Hebraism meaning "continually") in His Temple."
[The Temple in heaven is clearly referred to in Rev.11:19; 14:15,17;
15:5,6,8; 16:1,17. Only 11:1-2 refers to an end-time Jewish Temple. Rev. 3:12
refers to the Branch's (Messiah's) Temple (Zech. 6:12-13 says He will build it,
probably during the early years of the Millennium). Philadelphian over comers
will have permanent positions inside that Messianic Temple awarded them (Rev.
3:12).]
Continuing in Rev. 7:15, it says that "He Who sits on the throne shall dwell
with them" However, the Greek word translated "dwell" in the KJV is skenoo,
which means "to tent, or tabernacle." In other words, He will temporarily dwell
with them, or spread His skirt or tent over them, as one translation has it.
Why? Because the saints will themselves be living there temporarily. His skirt,
or tent, will cast a shadow, literally fulfilling Ps.91 during the time of
incredible chaos on earth:
"He that dwells in the secret place of the most High, shall
abide under the shadow of El Shaddai." [Shaddai is the only feminine-gendered
name for Elohim in the Hebrew scriptures. It signifies "the One Who nourishes at
the breast, the all-sufficient One."]
Thus, Yahweh will do for His Bride, the Elect, what He longed to do for
Judah.
"0 Jerusalem, Jerusalem ... How oft would I have gathered thy children
together, even as a hen
gathers her chicks under her wings." (Mt. 23:37)
At that time, as now, we will say of (Yahweh, "He is my refuge and fortress;
my God, in Whom I will trust" and "surely He shall deliver thee from the snare
of the fowler." (Ps.91:3). [The Hebrew word nahtzal, translated "deliver", is
the equivalent of the Greek word harpazo, meaning "to snatch out or away"
(from trouble, oftentimes).] Because those who "have set their love (to delight
in, to cling to, to be joined with) upon Me, therefore will I deliver him: I
will set him on High (in heaven), because he has known My Name (Yahweh)." (Ps.
91:14)
The whole concept of tabernacling (Gr. skenoo) in heaven is a major theme in
the book of Revelation, contrasting with "the house dwellers (inhabitants) on
earth." [The only time the verb form skenoo occurs outside of Revelation is John
1:14, where it says Yahshua, the Word, became flesh, and tabernacled among us.]
Nowhere is this contrast more vivid than in Rev.12:12, the second time (after
Rev.7:15) where skenoo is used. The time setting of this verse is the
1st Woe (5th Trumpet Plague), when the Devil is cast down
to the earth after one last war in heaven (vs.7-10). Since the
Elect--the man child company of Rev. 12:5--are caught up to Elohim and His
throne at the 6th seal, they will be in heaven already when
the 1st Woe occurs. Notice what Rev. 12:12 says:
"Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and those tabernacling (skenoo) in
them! But woe to you, earth and sea; for the Adversary has come down to you
having great fury..."
The third time skenoo occurs (Rev. 13:6) we are into the second half Of THE
DAY OF YAHWEH. The beast rises out of the sea (Gr. abussos) in v.1, and is given
authority to reign for 42 months (v. 5). This must be the same as the Gentiles
trampling under foot the Holy City for 42 months in Rev. 11:2. This Gentile,
European beast system is loosed from the abussos, ie. the bottomless pit, at the
fifth Trumpet Plague (Rev. 9:1). It comes like a whirlwind into the holy land
(Dan. 11:40), wages war upon the Two Witnesses, overcomes and kills them
(Rev.11:7). Thus we have an end of the first half Of THE DAY OF YAHWEH, which is
the 1260 day ministry of the Two Witnesses.
[The great earthquake that occurs at the time the Two Witnesses are
resurrected back to life is associated with the 2nd Woe (Sixth
Trumpet Plague), thus providing convincing evidence that the key event of
Rev.11:7 is at the 5th Trumpet Plague.]
This attack by Europe against the state of Israel, probably under the
auspices of a New World Order (now Global Union) inspired United Nations, will
constitute a treachery against the peace agreement signed 3 years earlier. Dan.
9:27 speaks of this breach halfway into Daniel's 70th week (which may
be equated with the entirety Of THE DAY OF YAHWEH). Isa. 33:1 also is speaking
directly of this great treachery by Europe and the Vatican.
The mention of locusts in Isa.33:4 links the invasion with modern Assyria,
ie. Germany (Nahum 3:15,17), and this in turn ties in with the locusts coming
out of the abyss at the 5th Trumpet Plague (Rev. 9:3-4). So the 42
months commences the worst (warfare part) Of THE DAY OF YAHWEH,
when a German-led Europe/U.N. will again be used as the rod of Yahweh's
anger (see Isa.10:5).
Hosea 5:5 shows that Judah (Palestine), Ephraim (Britain) and Manasseh
(America) will fall together in their iniquity.
[This has never happened before in the history of our tribes.]
"One month shall devour them with their portions, (Hosea 5:7) because they
have dealt treacherously against Yahweh."
[Hence, He causes our enemies in Europe to deal treacherously with us (see
Isa.33:1)]
The mark associated with this beast (Rev. 13:17) does not become a temptation
for the remnant of believers (left behind at Christ's coming) until this time.
It is quite curious that the acronym B.E.A.S.T. is used by the E.U. for its
Brussels Electronic Accounting Surveillance Terminal computer
system at their headquarters in Belgium. It is capable of monitoring every
electronic financial transaction on the globe. No doubt it will be used in
conjunction with the implantation of a microchip underneath the skin of every
person's right hand or forehead to control all buying and selling.
This is the most well-known prophecy in the world. Freedom-loving Americans
will never allow their legislators to institute such a system. Our strict
privacy laws would prohibit it. But the above analysis shows that it does not
come into play until after we have been subdued militarily at the 5th
Trump, 3 years after the 2nd Coming.
The Vatican will speak great things against the most -High during this
period, and will enforce the worship of the Beast and its image (an idol,
perhaps). Rev. 13:6 says the Pope will speak against Elohim, blaspheme His Name
and His tabernacle (Gr. skeeneh), and those dwelling
(should be "tabernacling"--skenoo) in heaven.
Yahweh does not "tabernacle" (skenoo) in heaven. He has been there for
all of eternity past. We listed earlier the passages which talk about His Temple
in heaven. Skenoo means "to dwell temporarily, as in a tent." This can only be
talking about the saints tabernacling in heaven while the wrath of Yahweh is
being poured out below.
The establishment will have to "explain away" the remarkable
events of the 6th seal and the early Trumpet Plaques. Rev. 13:6 tells
us that the Antichrist opts for a frontal assault of mockery and blasphemy
against Yahweh Himself as well as the vast multitude of humanity who will have
vacated earth's premises to tabernacle on High. [see also Dan. 7:25 and 11:36]
They are purchased and gathered out of the earth because they are not meant
to go through the wrath period which begins at the opening of the 7th
seal. I Thes. 5:9:
"For Yahweh has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain
salvation by our Lord Yahshua, Who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep,
we should live together with Him."
Those who teach against the rapture apparently don't believe in the goodness
of Yahweh Rev. 3:10 says: "Seeing that you keep the word of My endurance, I will
be keeping you (Philadelphia Christians) out of the hour of trial about to be
coming on the whole inhabited earth to try those dwelling on the earth. Isa.
33:14 asks:
"Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire (of the Trumpet Plagues)? who
among us shall dwell with Age-lasting burnings?" (Concordant Version)--Who is
telling you of the devouring fire? "Who is telling you of the glowings into the
Age [nuclear aftermath]? He who goes in righteousness, and speaks equities
...Who contracts his ear from hearkening to bloody plans, and restrains his eyes
from seeing evil-He shall tabernacle on the heights... The King in His
loveliness your eyes shall perceive."
I can hear the proud voices of the many anti-rapture sacred-namers and Church
of God Sabbath-keepers saying, as it were, "I'm strong. I'm going to endure it
all till the very end." Their mockery of being caught up to heaven merely masks
their lack of faith.
But Yahweh says He "has made all things for Himself, even the wicked
for THE DAY OF EVIL." (Prov. 16:4). It is your wickedness that
causes you to think you can endure and dwell with the fiery punishment to come.
He has made the final seven years for those who reject the concept of a rapture
(though I do not see any secret rapture).
It is their own spiritual deficiency, blindness, or pride that prevents them
from accepting mercy and provision in this regard, and to think they can endure
the punishments reserved for the wicked.
"Whoso keeps the Commandments shall feel no evil thing; and a wise man's
heart discerns both Time and Judgment." (Eccl. 8:5)
Since the earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard at that time (Isa.
24:19-20 and 13:13), everyone (including the church in the wilderness) left on
earth will feel, to one extent or another, Yahweh's Judgments.
We have, in Rev.15, perhaps the most irrefutable evidence of saints
being in heaven. Verse 2 talks about those who had gotten victory over
the beast and its mark, etc. standing on the sea of glass, having the harps of
Elohim. [The only other place the "sea of glass" is mentioned is chapter 4, the
definitive description of Yahweh's throne room.]
Rev. 15:5 (NIV) speaks of "the temple, that is, the tabernacle of the
testimony" (Gr. marturion). Here, the Greek is an unusual form, and does
not mean martyrs or testimony, but rather "a place of or for
the martyrs, those having given testimony." Just as the Gr.gymnasion is a place
of and for gymnastics --so "the tabernacle of the marturion" is a temporary
dwelling place for the saints. This verse may be talking about a huge temporary
tabernacle, constructed for the very purpose of housing His Bride in heaven
during the time of wrath! I do not claim to have the final word on v. 5, but it
is very intriguing.
Luke 9:16 says that those, in this age, who have made friends with Elohim by
means of unrighteous mammon, will be received into everlasting tabernacles
(Greek skeeneh KJV poorly translates "habitations"). This ties in with the
tabernacling in heaven and the tabernacle of the place of the martyrs spoken of
above. Rev. 15 alone has conclusive evidence to substantiate the thesis of this
paper. And the Psalms contain interesting passages about being hidden in
Yahweh's tabernacle. Notice Ps. 27:4-5: To be continued next
month.
