The dead are unconscious—no awareness or activity (Eccl. 9:5,10). The “Lazarus and rich man” account is a parable, not a literal afterlife map. Yahshua uses vivid imagery to warn the wealthy/religious who ignore truth and the needy; real reward/punishment happens at resurrection and judgment, not immediately at death.  Read More

Yahshua’s return isn’t a secret rapture escape. Like Noah, the righteous are protected while the wicked are “taken” in judgment. “Where the carcass is, vultures gather” points to destruction, not rescue. The wicked are removed first; the faithful remain for Messiah’s Kingdom on earth.  Read More

The article argues “today” isn’t the only chance for salvation. Scripture teaches two resurrections: a first for the “just” at Yahshua’s return (already judged, rewarded to reign), and a second after 1,000 years for the rest, who then learn, face judgment, and receive life or the second death.  Read More

Yahshua will return, gather His elect in the first resurrection, and establish His Kingdom on earth. During the 1,000 years, survivors and new births continue under His rule. Afterward, the second resurrection raises the formerly ignorant for judgment/teaching. The faithful now can inherit firstfruits rulership, endure to the end, and help others learn righteousness.  Read More

The article urges believers not to fear discussing the spirit realm: it’s real, includes angels and demons, and our battle is spiritual. Satan deceives through temptation, occult practices, drugs, lust, and corrupted thinking. Distinguish possession from deception, guard the mind, avoid openings to evil, and rely on Yahweh’s protection through obedience and prayer.  Read More

Yahshua’s “Good News” centers on the coming Kingdom on earth, where He returns as King to judge, enforce Yahweh’s laws, and reign. His true Assembly (“little flock”) continues until His return. Those who overcome are called now as firstfruits, sealed by baptism/Spirit, raised in the first resurrection, and made kings/priests to rule with Messiah.  Read More

Scripture teaches humans are souls (nephesh/psuche) that die, not immortal spirits that fly to heaven. Death is “sleep” until the resurrection at Yahshua’s return, when the dead are raised from the earth, not called down from heaven. Only Yahweh inherently has immortality; He grants it later, not at death.  Read More
