Scripture shows that those who OBEY Yahweh, who keep the 7th day Sabbath, who keep His Holy Days, who keep His commandments are the saints that will be spared from the Wrath of Yahweh at the end of the tribulation, and be resurrected at the return of Yeshua
The Scriptures consistently identify the saints as those who remain faithful to Yahweh by obeying Him, keeping His commandments, and enduring in faith.
This study shows that the saints are those who obey Yahweh's commandments, including the seventh-day Sabbath and His appointed Holy Days, and that they are protected from Yahweh's wrath and resurrected at Yeshua's return.
The Saints Are Those Who Obey Yahweh
1. The Saints Keep Yahweh's Commandments
Revelation 14:12
"Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of Yahweh and the faith of Yeshua."
This verse gives two identifying marks of the saints:
- They keep the commandments of Yahweh.
- They have faith in Yeshua.
2. The Saints Keep the Testimony of Yeshua
Revelation 12:17
"...the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of Yahweh and have the testimony of Yeshua Messiah."
Again, the saints are identified by:
- Obedience.
- Faithful testimony.
3. Loving Yahweh Means Keeping His Commandments
John 14:15
"If you love Me, keep My commandments."
1 John 5:3
"For this is the love of Yahweh, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome."
4. Those Who Practice Lawlessness Are Rejected
Matthew 7:21–23
"Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness."
Yeshua contrasts true disciples with those who live contrary to Yahweh's commands.
The Seventh-Day Sabbath Is Yahweh's Sign
Exodus 31:13
"Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations."
Isaiah 66:22–23
"...from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me."
The Sabbath is presented as:
- Yahweh's sign.
- An enduring day of worship.
- Continuing into the future kingdom.
Yahweh's Holy Days Remain His Appointed Times
Leviticus 23:2
"These are My appointed feasts..."
The Holy Days are called:
- Yahweh's feasts, not Israel's feasts.
Those who observe these days know they prophetically point to Messiah's work:
- Passover
- Unleavened Bread
- Pentecost
- Trumpets
- Atonement
- Tabernacles
- Last Great Day
The Saints Are Protected From Yahweh's Wrath
Scripture distinguishes between tribulation and Yahweh's wrath. Scripture shows believers will experience persecution but to be spared from divine wrath.
Yahweh Protects His Faithful
Zephaniah 2:3
"Seek the LORD... It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the LORD's anger."
Revelation 3:10
"Because you have kept My command... I also will keep you from the hour of trial..."
Psalm 91:1–10
Those dwelling under Yahweh's protection are preserved while judgment falls.
1 Thessalonians 5:9
"For Yahweh did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Yeshua Messiah."
The Saints Are Resurrected at Yeshua's Return
The First Resurrection
1 Thessalonians 4:16–17
"The dead in Messiah will rise first."
1 Corinthians 15:51–52
"...at the last trumpet... the dead will be raised incorruptible."
Revelation 20:4–6
"Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection."
Matthew 24:29–31
"Immediately after the tribulation... He will send His angels... and gather His elect."
This passage places the gathering of the elect after the tribulation, at Yeshua's visible return.
The Saints Reign with Yeshua
Revelation 5:10
"And have made us kings and priests... and we shall reign on the earth."
Revelation 20:6
"They shall be priests of Yahweh and of Messiah, and shall reign with Him a thousand years."
