In today's session, we concluded our study to show that the final 70 Weeks will be ending on the last Day of Atonement.

We are now starting a foundational study, the study of the BRANCH prophecies... This is a vital detail which needs to be present to complete our study of the final 70 weeks.
As we enter the time, which
Scripture calls "The Falling Away", more and more believers are being
drawn in to the deceptive lies of the Anti-Messiah. How can we be safe from
turning away and being deceived into worshiping another, in a time when the
deception, will be overmastering enough to (if possible) even deceive the
very elect (Matthew 24:24), what hope have any of us against it?
The lies of the beast - the
Anti-messiah of the Last Days - will be undermining Yahshua's Messiahship,
getting many well-meaning folks to look for another, or expect
"Yahshua" to come back to finish the job. But the answer to these
deceptions is found in the Old Testament Branch prophecies. These Branch
Prophecies were the Messianic prophecies, which the true Messiah must - and did
fulfill. Why is understanding the Branch prophecies - and Yahshua's fulfillment
of them - so vitally important a protection against the Anti-messiah in the
Last Days? The Lies of the Beast all comes from misconstruing and
misunderstanding the Branch prophecies, which authenticate Messiah. For
example:
Many today believe in bringing back
the animal sacrifices. Why? They don't understand Yahshua's fulfillment of the
Branch prophecies, which foretold what Messiah would do as our complete
sacrifice.
Many today believe that the third
Temple will be Yahweh's temple on earth. Why? They don't understand Yahshua's
fulfillment of the Branch prophecies, which foretold that Messiah would build
the Temple.
In fact, every Anti-messiah
deception comes from distorting or misapplying the Branch prophecies. In order
to be protected from the growing deception which will cause many faithful to
fall away and accept Anti-messiah, we need to be thorough in our studies of the
five Branch prophecies - and Yahshua's fulfillment of them.
Another word for Messiah is Christ.
And in the very end, one false messiah will rule the whole world, who will be
the final antichrist.
The antichrist is the deceiver –
the false messiah who pretends to be Messiah – 1 John 2:18:
“Little children, it is the last time:
and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists;
whereby we know that it is the last time.”
The final moments of earth’s
history are characterized by a war of the messiah’s. The true Messiah is
Yahshua, Who is coming in the clouds to take the saved people to glory. The
false messiah will cause his followers to receive the mark of the beast and
ultimate eternal damnation.
Which messiah we follow will
determine out eternal destiny. Clearly then, it is vitally important that we
are following Yahshua, the true Messiah and do not fall a prey to the
deceptions of the false. So how can we be sure that we are following the true
Messiah?
To rightly discern the false, we must first fully discern the true. What are the Scriptural identifiers of the true Messiah? They are given in Scripture under five “BRANCH” prophecies. Identifying them with their prophetic elements—and discerning how Yahshua fulfilled each of them—is a powerful protection against falling for the Anti-Christ, who is actually the false Messiah, because the Branch prophecies give us the five-fold ministry of the true Messiah.
I have a couple questions about your reference to the 144,000. Why does the scripture mention that they are virgins and they are from every tribe? How does this translate into 'The Holy?'
