The way of the tabernacle paints a picture of the path to salvation, which is to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Priests would enter through the gate, present the sacrifice on the brazen altar, and then purify themselves at the laver (baptism of John).

This is where the "church" typically stops in its teaching of salvation; but, like the Samaritans in Acts 8 had done before Peter and John came to them, the churchian model stops short of the most important aspect of this progression, which is entering the Holy of Holies.

The lighted menorah, altar of incense, and the bread of the presence in the Holy Place represent guidance and nourishment from the Holy Spirit as He leads the believer into the Holy of Holies, which is to receive the covenant of marriage as Messiah Yahoshua's bride.

The thief on the cross manifestly understood the path to salvation better than the highly educated pharisees. He provided the example of what is necessary to be born again, and he received his confirmation of that salvation directly from the Messiah Himself.

READ THIS AFTER I HAVE DISAPPEARED

Dear loved one,

I am no longer here because what I had been trying to get everyone to understand and prepare for has happened. Messiah Yahoshua's bride has been taken from the earth to the wedding chamber, and the earth will now go through a brief period of tribulation. The bride was removed on the Feast of Trumpets (1 Corinthians 15:52, 2 Thessalonians 4:16-17), which is the first of the Fall feasts, also called the judgment feasts.

The next feast day to be fulfilled will be the Feast of Atonement (Armageddon, and then Matthew 25:31-33), and that will be ten years after the removal of the bride.

Because those who have been “caught up” in the air to meet the Bridegroom were likely a relatively small number of people (Luke 13:24), and the world generally did not see or hear anything happen (we vanished during the night), I am fairly certain that you will still not hear the truth about what happened, or what is getting ready to happen, from most of the “church,” or christianity, because it is a counterfeit of the true faith, and it does not represent the truths of the Holy Spirit.

Christianity teaches the traditions of men that were devised in the early centuries after the New Testament apostles had all died, and it was codified in the 4th century by Constantine. Most christians will understandably be reluctant to admit that they were not members of the bride, since they “knew that they knew that they knew” they were saved. If they're still here, they weren't. Because christianity removed the foundations of the faith, and replaced them with paganism, it is a counterfeit. Christianity also teaches a counterfeit of salvation, making it a decision of man rather than an act of the Father.

The global narrative that will most likely evolve after we are gone will be that of a cover up, and it will probably end up being that those who speak of it, or question it, will be labeled “conspiracy theorists.” We have seen those types of media “cover-up” narratives being used often in recent decades.

If you find yourself doubting what I am telling you, here is the way you can know for certain that I am telling you the truth about Messiah's bride being removed from the earth: when you see the Jewish temple being built in Jerusalem, you can know the antichrist has been revealed, and he is establishing his rule on the earth. Scripture said that he would not be revealed until the bride was removed, for the Holy Spirit, as the New Covenant of marriage placed within Messiah's bride, was the one who restrained Satan on the earth (2 Thessalonians 2:3-8).

The seal of the Covenant (Holy Spirit) being removed from the earth, you will not be able to be sealed by Him as the bride was. It is now just as it was before the bride was revealed in Acts 2—the Holy Spirit is no longer here as a seal unto the day of redemption poured out on all mankind. There will be SOME who will be sealed, but I'll get to that shortly. The thing to understand is that you still have an opportunity to be saved and receive eternal life, but it will be much more difficult for you to attain, and it will come only by your enduring to the end (your death). Those who believe now will not be indwelt by the covenant, but will only be covered by the Spirit at their deaths.

Salvation is tied to the Passover, as that is the preparation for righteousness. If you'll read Numbers 9:6-12, you will see that Yah (the Father) made an allowance for those who missed the Passover at its normal observance, and He gave them a second Passover, so that those who were not prepared for the first observance could still partake a month later.

You are now faced with that opportunity—this is the spiritual real substance of what that physical foreshadow represented in Numbers.

Here is a general overview of the things that are getting ready to occur. In this letter, I'm not going to detail everything, but just give you a general understanding of the major events that are going to happen over the ten year period between Trumpets and Atonement that you are presently in.

For the first three years of this period, two things are happening in Israel: the temple is being built in Jerusalem, and the son of perdition (antichrist) is rising to enough power to broker a peace treaty among all the nations of the world.

Additionally, there will be a coalition between the antichrist and the false prophet who will confirm the antichrist to the world, and the false prophet is the pope. The final kingdom of Daniel's prophecy will be the union of the Ottoman (Islam) and Roman (Christian) empires.

In recent years, there have been increasing overtures made between the pope and muslim leaders, which is the evolution of "chrislam." And, there is even a joint venture multifaith complex in the UAE slated for completion in 2022.

At the end of that three years, the temple in Jerusalem will be dedicated (it will be in the Fall of the year—on the Feast of Tabernacles), and there will be a declaration of a worldwide peace treaty. This will begin the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy (Daniel 9:27).

That peace will exist for 3 ½ years as the man who brokered it continues to rise in power. The Jews will all be very happy, for they will once again have a temple and animal sacrifice, which they have falsely believed was taken from them only because the temple was destroyed in 70 AD (the Torah dictates that priestly animal sacrifice be performed at the temple). They have never believed that the Passover was fulfilled, because they rejected Yahoshua as the Messiah.

At this point (near the end of the first 3 ½ years of the peace treaty), that leader who has gained much power, is going to be killed by a wound to his head. After he has been killed, he will then rise again from the dead (sound familiar?). When he is brought back to life, all hell is getting ready to be unleashed on the earth, for the son of perdition's body will be resurrected by Satan himself indwelling it (that is right after Satan is cast out of heaven—Revelation 12:9). The peace that was enjoyed on the earth for 3 ½ years will now be removed (Revelation 6:4).

At the time of Passover (in the spring), the antichrist, who is now indwelt by Satan himself, will enter the temple and, because of his resurrection from the dead, he will declare an end to animal sacrifice (sound familiar?).

Of course, many of the Jews are going to say, “NOT AGAIN!” They already went through that after Messiah's resurrection, when the Holy Spirit declared an end to animal sacrifice (Hebrews 10), and then their temple was destroyed. So, those Jews are going to be very unhappy, but the antichrist will be setting himself up as the supreme ruler of the universe—he will declare that he is the Almighty God, and demand that he be worshiped as such. Notice how much of the truth he actually counterfeits!

On the Feast of Firstfruits, which is the first day of the week following the weekly Sabbath that follows Passover, there will be two supernatural witnesses who appear in Jerusalem, and they will rail against the antichrist. They will be Moses and Elijah, representing the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, and announcing the coming of Messiah. They will have great powers, and will be able to stop the rains, shoot fire from their mouths, turn water to blood, call down plagues on the earth, etc. They will be greatly feared and hated by most people, and those who refuse their message will be drawn to follow and worship the antichrist.

But, there will be some Jews who believe the testimony of the two witnesses, who proclaim the testimony of Yahoshua the Messiah, and many of those believing Jews will be killed for their belief over a period of 49 days (this is their “counting of the omer”).

And then, just as the bride waited to receive the Holy Spirit for 49 days after Messiah's resurrection (7 periods of 7 days), 49 days after the two witnesses appear on Firstfruits, there will be 144,000 physical Jews—virgin men—who will be sealed by the Holy Spirit, just as the bride was. They are not the bride, though, but are friends of the bride. This happens on the Feast of Weeks, which is 49 days after Firstfruits, and was also the day that is described in Acts 2—the day the Holy Spirit was poured out as Yah's seal on the bride.

Take note that the earth had animal sacrifice from Adam all the way to Messiah's Passover sacrifice. Then, the Holy Spirit was poured out as Yah's Covenant (Acts 2), and there was no animal sacrifice (Hebrews 10). After that, the seal of the Holy Spirit being removed with the bride (2 Thessalonians 2:7), animal sacrifice starts up again. But, that animal sacrifice will be ended (Daniel 9:27), and the seal of the Holy Spirit will be given on the earth again (Revelation 7:4). This seal will be given only to the 144,000 Jews.

While the two witnesses remain in Jerusalem being a general nuisance to the antichrist and his worshipers, the 144,000 Jewish men will be dispersed around the world to testify that Yahoshua is the Messiah—Yah's salvation. Many will believe their testimony, and will reject the antichrist, who will demand that everyone on the earth receive his mark (the mark will be tied to the star of Remphan, which has falsely been called the star of David. It is the 666 that scripture refers to, as it has 6 points, 6 triangles, and a 6-sided hexagram, and is, coincidentally, on the flag of physical Israel).

Those who do not receive his mark on their forehead or hand will no longer be able to buy or sell anything (including food), and will be regarded as enemies of the state who will be under constant threat of being killed. Daily, those who refuse to take the antichrist's mark, and who take a stand for the salvation available only through Messiah Yahoshua, will be killed—mostly by beheading (Revelation 20:4).

The antichrist's bitter hatred for the 144,000 Jews who are evangelizing so many in the world will result in his attempt to kill them by a massive flood (counterfeiting Yah's judgment during the days of Noah), but the earth will swallow up his flood waters, and his flood will not succeed, which will just further infuriate him.

The killing (beheading) of those who proclaim Yahoshua as Messiah will continue for roughly 3 ½ years. Near the end of that time, those who believe in Yahoshua, but have not yet been killed, will all be gathered to somewhere around Jerusalem. At the same time, the two witnesses will be killed 3 ½ days prior to the Feast of Trumpets. Their bodies will be left in the street, and all those who have taken the antichrist's mark will greatly rejoice over their deaths. They will celebrate with joy, and even exchange gifts with one another (sound familiar?).

At the end of the 3 ½ days, on the Feast of Trumpets, the two witnesses will come back to life, and all those who have been celebrating will be filled with fear when they see them. A huge earthquake will hit right after that, and the antichrist will order all those followers of Yahoshua who refused his mark to be killed at once. After that, a voice from heaven will declare “come up here,” just like with the bride ten years earlier (Revelation 4:1) and the two witnesses will be seen ascending to heaven. They will take with them the believers who were just killed (Revelation 11:11-13).

For nine days after that, the antichrist will assemble all of the earth's armies in the valley of Megiddo with the intention of destroying Jerusalem, knowing that such a declaration will bring Messiah to the earth to protect it, and that will guarantee the face-to-face battle Satan has wanted with Messiah since he first rebelled against Yah. And, on the Feast of Atonement (ten days after Trumpets), Messiah Yahoshua will return to the earth in judgment with the wedding party—the friends of the Bridegroom (Old Testament saints) and the friends of the bride (tribulation saints).

Note: my wife and I, who are members of His bride, will not return with Messiah, but will remain in the wedding chamber, for the bride will not be revealed until the wedding feast, and that will not occur until 1000 years later (it will be just like a day in heaven—2 Peter 3:8). The revealing of the bride is what is shown in Revelation 21:2.

On that day of Messiah's return to the earth, the earthly armies that are assembled at Megiddo will be wiped out all at once, and the total number of people who will perish that day will be 2/3 of the entire earth's population. The blood of those in the armies will rise as high as horses' bridles for 200 miles around Jerusalem. Satan and his demons will then be bound in the pit for 1000 years at that point.

And, then, the 1/3 who are still alive will be separated—on one side will be those who took the mark of the antichrist or who rose up against Jerusalem (or did both), and on the other side will be those who did neither. The former will be sent to judgment (death), and the latter will be planted into Messiah's 1000-year earthly reign.

Here is what YOU need to understand right now, dear one. YOU can still receive eternal life, even though you are not a member of Messiah's bride. It may be that you THOUGHT you were, because of the teachings you have believed—you may have followed the false teachings that, by making a decision, or by praying a prayer, you were able to declare yourself saved. That has always been a lie from the enemy.

But, now, you can still be one of the wedding party—not the bride, but a friend of the bride. If you are reading this, knowing I have been taken as a member of the bride, and am no longer here, please repent today of your unbelief (which is to believe in Yahoshua), and proclaim from your heart that Yahoshua is Messiah—He IS Yah's salvation, who dwelt among men as the living Word in the flesh, died, and rose again, and who now holds the keys of death and hell.

Understand that, if you do that, and your belief is genuine, it is going to be put to the test, and you WILL be physically killed for it. But, that very temporary physical pain will be nothing in light of the eternal life in heaven that you will gain. You will be saved only IF you endure to the end (Matthew 24:13).

Just know that you still have time to be saved—just not a lot of time. As I already said, from the time the bride was taken until the battle of Armageddon, there will be only ten years. Believe in Messiah Yahoshua for your salvation today, and remain faithful to that belief until your death, for then, you will share in the gift of eternal life.

Believe in Yahoshua the Messiah, loved one, and trust Him alone for your salvation!

He IS the King of heaven and earth—the only begotten Son of Yah, the Father.

Hoping you will believe,

Dean

NOTE: I had a number of writings online at wayofthetabernacle.com. I'm not sure how long they will remain once I'm gone. Way of the Tabernacle also has a Facebook page where I have posted a lot of things I shared along the way while I was here. See if you can find them.

If I am still here because the bride has not yet been taken, and you are reading this, YOU still have time to believe, confess Messiah Yahoshua, and then receive the covenant. To learn more about that, we have several articles explaining it under the heading SALVATION at the bottom of the website here.
