Synopsis

For almost two millennia, multiplied millions of Believers in Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) have eagerly anticipated His return. Many theories, doctrines, and creeds have been produced concerning the Second Coming, as well as an entire score of books. In today s world, many Christians think that the Messiah can return at any moment in an event called the pre-tribulation rapture. Even among those who do not believe in this imminent rapture are those who still think that the final days of humanity are upon us. Are they? Is everything in place for the Messiah to return in the next decade, or even in the next year? Or, is there anything in the Scriptures that might be overlooked, or is not being considered, regarding the Messiah s return?

Before Yeshua was taken into Heaven, the Apostles asked Him, Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the Kingdom to Israel? (Acts 1:6). The Apostles were eagerly awaiting the Messiah to restore Israel, and guide the world back to the fullness that had once been experienced in the Garden of Eden. But much work still had to be accomplished, as Yeshua commissioned them to go out and make disciples. That work still has not been completed today, especially with the advent of the modern-day Messianic movement.

A major part of the work that needs to be accomplished is that most Believers in Yeshua do not understand who the Lord is actually returning for. They consider themselves part of a separate Church, often with no connection to Israel. Because of this, it is concluded that the Messiah can imminently come for the Church, to leave Israel behind to face the Tribulation and the antichrist. Is this a valid teaching? Are Israel and the Church separate entities? If they are not, how would this change our perception of the end-times? Furthermore, if a Believer is a part of the Commonwealth of Israel (Ephesians 2:11-12), how does it affect what we think will happen in the Last Days and when the beast system will arise?

When Will the Messiah Return? is a unique book addressing the end-times from a distinct Messianic perspective. The Messiah tells us plainly that He will gather the saints immediately after the tribulation of those days (Matthew 24:29). Discussed are common false understandings as they relate to the Church being taken to Heaven for the duration of the Tribulation period, and how instead all Believers in Messiah Yeshua get to participate in the end-time restoration of all Israel.
