Isaiah 4:2. In that day the Branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious; and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing for those of Israel who have escaped. 3. And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and he who remains in Jerusalem will be called holy everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem. 4. When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning,
Isaiah 37:31. And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. 32. For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
Zechariah 14:2. For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; the city shall be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3. Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. 4. And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley; half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south. 5. Then you shall flee through My mountain valley, for the mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Thus the Lord my God will come, and all the saints with You.

Psalm 132:1. A song of ascents. LORD, remember David and all his anxious care; 2. How he swore an oath to the LORD, vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: 3. `I will not enter the house where I live, nor lie on the couch where I sleep; 4. I will give my eyes no sleep, my eyelids no rest, 5. Till I find a home for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.'

Daniel 12:11. "And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12. "Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
Joel 2:32. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the remnant whom the Lord calls.
Reply from Watchman Bob:
These Scriptures speak of the the physical deliverance of Israel at the End of the Age, not the Rapture of the redeemed followers of Yahushua ("Jesus").
