Messiah’s Shout (Teruah, Groan) ripped open a Doorway to Heaven:
וְיֵשׁוּעַ קָרָא בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל
And Yeshua cried out in a loud voice.
The Groan too deep for words: The moment Messiah ben Yosef had finished paying the ransom for our sins—for he had paid in full the price of Adam’s (Humankind’s) redemption—He cried out in a “loud voice” (v’qol gadol-בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל). This loud voice is the Teruah Shout (תְרוּעָה). It is the groan (אֲנָחָה-sighing) of the Spirit that is too “deep for words” (עֲמֻקּוֹת מִמִּלִּים).
Opened up a Portal to Heaven: Unlike the groan of the Spirit that was expressed by the Messiah before Lazarus’ (cf. “groaned in His Spirit:”) resurrection (one of the recorded 7 Signs and 50 miracles of Messiah) this groan not only opened up the physical domain it opened up a portal (window, doorway) to heaven.
The Temple Veil was torn in two from Top to Bottom: The Teruah Shout (תְרוּעָה) of Messiah opened up a space-time portal from earth and sheol all the way to heaven and the (yet future) time of Messiah’s return to Israel. This is why after the Messiah blew out His last breath through the Shofar of Elohim (שׁוֹפָר אֱלֹהִים-through His own body) the veil of the Temple (פָּרֺכֶת הַמִּקְדָּשׁ-Parochet HaMikdash) was immediately “torn in two from top to bottom.”
What did this mean spiritually to Israel?
The full Restoration of Israel can happen now: At the exact moment Messiah cried out with his last breath the debt for all of the sins of the people of Israel was paid in full. Everyone is now able to be reconciled to Avinu HaRachamim, our Father of Mercies. From the moment of Messiah ben Yosef’s sacrificial death all that our ancestors needed was repent do teshuvah and “believe” on the chosen one that our Father in heaven had sent to us.
The debt we owe for our sins is “Paid in Full”: When we were dead in our trespasses God made us alive together with the death and resurrection of His Messiah our Redeemer. In him God forgave us all our trespasses; He cancelled the certificate of debt that stood against us and removed it by nailing it to the accursed tree; configured in the sign of the Tav. The spiritual indictment—the record of human failure to keep God’s perfect law—was symbolically pinned on the accursed tree.
. אָמַר יֵשׁוּעַ: “נִשְׁלַם,” וּבְהַרְכִּינוֹ רֺאשׁוֹ מָסַר אֶת רוּחוֹ
Yeshua said, “*It is finished,” and bowing his head, he gave up his spirit.
*It is Finished: This word nishlam (נִשְׁלַם) means completed, finished, ended. Messiah’s sacrifice fully paid off and ended our debt to God for failing to keep His perfect Law; for our sins.
The Problem was and continues to be: Our religious and governmental leaders and secular philosophers have so far convinced most of the Jewish populace that we should not believe on the one whom the Father sent (הוּא שָׁלַח).
אֲנַחְנוּ רוֹאִים כִּי מְנוּחָתוֹ אִם אבותינו לֹא לָבוֹא מִשּׁוּם שֶׁלֹּא הֶאֱמִינוּ.פ
We see that they could not enter [God’s Rest] because they did not believe.
Therefore, it is critical today that we believe that HaPalat (the Deliverer) has already come to Zion and that he shall come to us yet a second time to remove ungodliness from us. For if we believe in him we are not judged. Therefore we must believe in the בְּרִ֥ית חֲדָשָֽׁה that removes all of our sins (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8; read more: הברית החדשה).
On the day of the first Jubilee of Israel:
Nothing too difficult for God: For the time being it is sufficient to point out that the (time-traveling) holy ones who lived and died prior to the resurrection of Messiah all will be resurrected on the day Messiah will return to Israel. Making the souls of these righteous saints depart from the Bosom of Abraham so long ago to immediately arrive at a distant future designated place and time is not a difficult achievement for God.
The First Jubilee Ever: When the Messiah returns to Israel the first Jubilee ever will be celebrated in Israel. Not even one Jubilee has previously been celebrated in Eretz Israel because Israel has never occupied all of the lands that Adonai has promised us.
He will reveal to us what Tribe we belong to: When the Messiah ben David returns to Israel he will reveal what tribe all of us are from (Ezekiel 48) and he will assign to each of our people their own land; each according to his (or her) own family inheritance.
Bride #1, A Wedding Celebration in Israel:
Tishri 10: A Wedding Celebration in Israel (Leah): Adonai promised the kedoshim who lived under the first covenant of Israel with Moses (the first bride) to celebrate His marriage to Israel and the kedoshim of old in Israel.
Messianic Kingdom: The age prior to Messiah’s resurrection is focused on the first bride claiming the promise of her marital celebration being experienced in the messianic kingdom. The ancient Jewish kedoshim were promised to be resurrected at the time when the Messiah restores Israel at His triumphant return from heaven to earth; on Yom Kippur and Jubilee.
The Prophet Daniel: The prophet Daniel was told that for a time he would be without a body (Danilel 12:13)—the term sleeping in the earth does not mean one is without consciousness; it means there is consciousness but without a physical body—and that he would at a time appointed by Adonai be resurrected in a new immortal body in his beloved land of Israel; where he would receive his allotted portion (reward).
Bride #2, A Wedding Celebration in Heaven:
אַחַי, אֵין אָנוּ רוֹצִים שֶׁיֵּעָלֵם מִכֶּם מַה שֶּׁנּוֹגֵעַ לִישֵׁנֵי עָפָר, כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא תִּתְעַצְּבוּ כַּאֲחֵרִים אֲשֶׁר אֵין לָהֶם הַתִּקְוָה. אִם אָמְנָם מַאֲמִינִים אָנוּ שֶׁיֵּשׁוּעַ מֵת וְקָם לִתְחִיָּה, כָּךְ גַּם אֶת הַיְשֵׁנִים, בְּאֶמְצָעוּת יֵשׁוּעַ, אֱלֹהִים יָבִיא יַחַד אִתּוֹ. הִנֵּה זֹאת אָנוּ אוֹמְרִים לָכֶם עַל־פִּי דְּבַר הָאָדוֹן: אֲנַחְנוּ הַחַיִּים אֲשֶׁר נִשָּׁאֵר עַד בּוֹא הָאָדוֹן לֹא נַקְדִּים אֶת הַמֵּתִים, שֶׁכֵּן הָאָדוֹן עַצְמוֹ יֵרֵד מִן הַשָּׁמַיִם בִּקְרִיאָה שֶׁל פְּקֻדָּה, בְּקוֹל שַׂר הַמַּלְאָכִים וּבְשׁוֹפַר אֱלֹהִים, וְהַמֵּתִים הַשַּׁיָּכִים לַמָּשִׁיחַ יָקוּמוּ רִאשׁוֹנָה. אַחֲרֵי כֵן אֲנַחְנוּ הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בַּחַיִּים נִלָּקַח יַחַד אִתָּם בַּעֲנָנִים לִפְגֹּשׁ אֶת הָאָדוֹן בָּאֲוִיר, וְכָךְ נִהְיֶה תָּמִיד עִם הָאָדוֹן. עַל כֵּן עוֹדְדוּ זֶה אֶת זֶה בַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה.פ
Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in the dust, so that you do not grieve like others who have no hope. For if we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, so too will God bring with him those who sleep, through Yeshua. Through Yeshua, God will bring them with Him. We tell you this according to the word of Adonai: We who are alive and remain until the coming of the Master will not precede the dead, for the lord [the Messiah] himself will descend from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of God, and the dead who belong to the Messiah will rise first. Afterward, we who remain alive will be caught up [translated] together with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air, and so we will always be with the lord. Therefore, encourage one another with these words.
Tishri 1-2: A Wedding Celebration in Heaven (Rachel): The second bride’s marriage will be celebrated in heaven. Therefore (in time paradox) when Messiah was resurrected from the dead the spirit and soul of the prophet Daniel that was in the Bosom of Abraham (in Sheol) was instantly transported to Eretz Israel to be resurrected as a glorified immortal at the time of the triumphant second coming of Messiah; on the first day of the beginning of the Golden Age of Israel.
What Happens to the Followers of Messiah? What happens to those of us (Jew and Gentile) who are followers of Messiah and have lived and died over the last (almost) twenty centuries? Messiah Yeshua’s followers will celebrate our “Marriage Supper of the Lamb” in heaven after we are resurrected or translated into heaven on an unknown future day of Rosh HaShanah (Tishri 1-2).
The Bosom of Abraham is Empty: The Holy Ones of old have already left and gone to their reward in Israel and they are their right now celebrating the great joy of living on earth as immortals in the time of the messianic age. For this reason the Bosom of Abraham is empty. It was joyously vacated almost two millennia ago. Therefore, The Assembly of Messiah will never experience what it is like to even visit the protected Bosom of Abraham in Sheol.
From Resurrection directly into Wedding Celebration in Heaven: There is no transitional state after death for the followers of Messiah. As soon as we are absent from the body we (time-travel} to the time of our resurrection and then we are immediately taken-up into heaven for our wedding elebration. The future resurrection (and translation) of the followers of Messiah delivered from sin and death in the present age will occur just a moment before (Tishri 1-2) the seven year Great Tribulation begins (Tishri 3-9).
Two Brides, Two Marriage Celebrations: In contrast, all those who died before Messiah’s resurrection, ascension and giving of the Gift of the Spirit, who were later taken out of Sheol and sent immediately into the time of the messianic age will resurrect at the very end (Tishri 10) of the seven year Great Tribulation (צָרָה גְדוֹלָה).
The Procession of Leah and Rachel:
Bookends to the Time of Jacob’s Trouble: The symbolic-prophetic meanings of the two brides Leah (לֵאָה) and Rachel (רָחֵל) act as bookends to the seven year time of Jacob’s Trouble (cf. prophetic ‘order of procession’ of Leah and Rachel, Genesis 33:1-7).
When the Evil One and his False Messiah Rule the World: The time of Jacob’s Trouble is the seven year period of time (Tishri 3-9) when the evil one and his false-messiah will rule the entire world.
The Resurrected Order of the Procession of the Brides: Two Resurrections: In a time paradox the Second Bride (Rachel) who was married in the second covenant resurrects first a moment before the beginning of the Great Tribulation.The First Bride (Leah) who was married in the first covenan tresurrects at the glorious appearance of Messiah at the end of the time of Jacob’s Trouble.
The first bride (Leah) is composed of those righteous Jews and God fearing Gentiles who lived and died before Messiah’s death and resurrection. The second bride (Rachel) is composed of those righteous Jews and God fearing Gentiles who lived and died after Messiah’s death, resurrection, ascension and the giving of the Gift of the Spirit of the Holy One on Shavuot.
The additions of Zilpah and Bilhah:
There are two other groups of children.
The Time of Jacob’s Trouble: There is a third group of the children of the heavenly Father. These children are symbolically the children of the concubines Zilpah (indicating myrrh-זִלְפָּה) and Bilhah (בִּלְהָה-meaning: to be without concern, tender). These are the righteous offspring of Jacob that are born from above during the Great Tribulation.
Abraham’s Innumerable Children in the Millennium:
Father Abraham: When people refer to him as “Father Abraham,” they are referencing Genesis 17:5, where God states:
וְלֹא־יִקָּרֵ֥א ע֛וֹד אֶת־שִׁמְךָ֖ אַבְרָ֑ם וְהָיָ֤ה שִׁמְךָ֙ אַבְרָהָ֔ם כִּ֛י אַב־הֲמ֥וֹן גּוֹיִ֖ם נְתַתִּֽיךָ׃
“No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.”
Abraham’s Global Children: Father Abraham was rightfully called by God, The Father of Many Nations.” In relation to the latter one thousand years millennial rule of the Messiah ben David, it is important to mention that Abraham’s final wife Keturah (קְטוּרָה-“Incense,” ‘fragrance”) is also a prophetic type that speaks of that generation of billions of mortal humans who will be blessed to live on earth during the time of Messiah Ben David’s rule on earth.
