The reception and care of the messengers will be equated with the reception of the Message;
Isaiah 66:18-20
Note: For the ‘Catching Away’ before the start of the ‘70th Week’ of Daniel (Daniel 9:27; The 7-Year Tribulation), remember that the Church was “a mystery hidden” (Ephesians 3:1-12). Even Jesus in this message in Matthew does not mention it, but goes directly to the subject of the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation ending with the judgment of the Gentile nations, the earthly compliment to the heavenly scene in Revelation 7:9-17;
See also and compare: 1Thessalonians 4:13-18; 5:1-5; 2Thessalonians 2:3-10.
