PARIS/TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran is turning to barter – offering gold bullion in overseas vaults or tankerloads of oil – in return for food as new financial sanctions have hurt its ability to import basic staples for its 74 million people, commodities traders said Thursday. Difficulty paying for urgent…

RAPTURE OF THE BRIDE :: (Author Unknown) 

There are many different opinions regarding biblical eschatology (end-time events). This page deals with the “rapture”; a supernatural taking-up of Christians to be with the Lord before His wrath is poured out.

This page is to offer some information that does support a rapture before the tribulation period. As we all know, God uses symbolism very often in scripture to convey a spiritual meaning. We also know that God calls the church “The Bride” or “Bride of Christ” (Ephesians 5:22-33, 2 Corinthians 11:2-3, Jeremiah 2:1, Hosea 2:16). It is in this context that we look at the Jewish wedding customs of that day and analyze any likenesses with the church bride….In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:1-3) 

note from Victor :: the above Scripture in John 14:1-3 was among the last things Jesus said to his disciples/the apostles before his Crucifixion — He said the Words at The Last Supper (Passover Meal) — What is very notable, is in an Ancient Jewish Wedding, that may of been the last thing said to the Bride by The Bridegroom — something like this maybe: ‘I go to prepare a place for you, and when it is finished I will return for you.’ 

ANALOGY OF THE JEWISH WEDDING CUSTOM

The first major step in a Jewish marriage was Betrothal. This established the marriage covenant.

Jesus established an eternal covenant through His blood. His Holy Spirit is the “ring” (if you will) – sealing the bride with a guarantee that He will return for her. (Hebrews 13:20, Luke 22:20, *Ephesians 1:13)

The Jewish bridegroom took the initiative in marriage by leaving his father’s house and travelling to the home of the prospective bride.

So Jesus left His Father’s house in heaven and travelled to the earth; the home of His prospective Church (bride) [John 6:32-33; 51]. Jesus came to earth to obtain the church (bride) through the establishment of a covenant.

YHWH or YHVH The Father !

Jesus or Yahshua/Yeshua The Son !

The Rapture of Yeshua The Bridegroom’s Church – His Bride 🙂 Could truly be near! The Feast of Trumpets in 2015 could be Important or the time, however if not, Keeping the Watch going forward the call ><>

The Rapture/Yeshua’s Return For His Bride The Church is Going to Happen when things are ‘Normal’ — With The Way the World Is/Has Been ::

Earthquakes/Floods/Tornadoes/Hurricanes/Volcanoes/These 12 Countries in This Debt Table at 100% + Debt/Price of Gold/Iran – Nuclear Situation (Ezekiel 38/39)/Price of Fuel in The U.S.A. (now better: 12/13/14)/Abortion/The Palestinians trying to declare Statehood at the U.N. in Sept. 2011 — Which is one of the Reasons for Armageddon (Parting YHWH’s Land)/World Leader’s saying Peace & Safety — When they shall say Peace And Safety (Probably Daniel 9:27 – The Anti-Christ’s 7 Year End of The World Peace Deal) There will be sudden destruction — The Day of The Lord Will Begin.

One Has To Wonder, How Much Longer Can Things Stay ‘Normal?’ 

Jesus Said Thus :: Luke 19:41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, (Jerusalem) and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

Matthew 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

Jesus is saying, people should know, what’s what.

Paul even says in Thessalonians that Christians are not in Darkness as to The Day of The Lord/When They Shall Say Peace and Safety — See This Post :: 2012 Bible Prophecy Rapture Outlook – Jesus Return Could Really Be Near..

Shalom ! 🙂 Grace (Loving Kindness) 🙂 be with you all 🙂

1 Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (With The Lord) ! Joined to the Lord means: To cleave, to glue, stick, melt, weld together — It is like the same word for Marriage! 🙂 If you are a Christian, you are Married to The Lord, You are One ! 🙂

1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

John 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:  23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Marriage is the closest Relationship a person can have with another person and maybe the greatest Grace God can bestow in this life-time as well too.

Jesus at the Night of The Last Supper in the Gospel of John (DVD) , was totally intimate with The Apostles. He said to them that there are His Friends, That He will do anything for them if they ask in His Name, That He will send the Holy Spirit, That He wants everyone who will ever believe in Him To Be One, That He and His Father are One.

Also, He said to them that He will go to prepare a place for them, — which is the last thing, it could be, the Bridegroom would say to His Bride (in an Ancient Jewish Wedding) before he returns, for the Marriage. 

At The Time of The Ancient Jewish Wedding — All Sins Are Forgiven 🙂

Jesus/Yeshua is a Friend, Close Friend, Intimate Loving Friend, He Is Lord, (The Title Lord signifies – Honor, Reverence, Respect – Owner, Master) He is The Bridegroom of The Church, He is a Christian’s High Priest — The Good-Shepherd, God’s Son, and King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s 🙂

Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, (Grace = Loving Kindness, Favor, Undeserved Kindness) that we may obtain mercy, (Mercy = Kindness For The Guilty) and find grace (Undeserved Kindness, Loving Kindness, Favor) to help in time of need.

Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

Spiritually all Christians are Betrothed (Legally Married) to Jesus/Yeshua! Right now 🙂

In The Future this is going to take place 🙂

Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

A Person’s make-up/Constitution :: A Person has a Body, but is a Soul and Spirit.

A Person’s Soul = Mind, Will, Emotions — Heart — Thoughts

The Bible says this! (Talking about a person’s Human Body/Spiritual Body) 1 Corinthians 15:42…. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

In Relation to A Christian’s Future Glorified Spiritual Body — The Following Bible Verses could be dependent upon what happens at the Bema Seat and what happens at The Bema Seat could Be Dependent upon: Faithfulness, Works? (Matthew 20:1-16), Devotion, Obedience, Love [Obedience = Holiness = Happiness which you could say =’s Love] [Sin = Misery] {Jesus said in the Gospel of John, if we Love Him, we will obey Him}

1 Corinthians 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead.

Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Live For The Spirit 🙂

The Marriage/Marriage Supper may be a Magnificent, Royal Event !!!!!!! 🙂

“You have nothing to do but to save souls. Therefore spend and be spent in this work. ………save as many souls as you can; to bring as many sinners as you possibly can to repentance.”  — John Wesley

Father John Corapi: “If you can’t (even) Get To The Battle-Field, how are you going to fight?” — The “Battle-Field” is The Mission Field/The Harvest (Jesus said the Fields are White For Harvest) — How you get to the ‘Battle-Field’ is by keeping your flesh under check and Holy and abiding in the Vine (Jesus) for without Him we can do nothing.

Post :: How To Live The Christian Life (Scripture verses of denying the flesh)

He who is united to God, by faith in Christ Jesus, receives his Spirit, and becomes a partaker of the Divine nature. Who can change such a relationship for communion with a harlot; or for any kind of sensual gratification? He who can must be far and deeply fallen! — Adam Clarke Commentary – Studylight.org

Living The Christian Life entails this too :: Bearing Fruit for God (Bringing Him Glory, not self) Being Holy, And Love ! 🙂 (Fruits of The Spirit) 🙂

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Good Works to Glorify your Father in Heaven, not to Glorify Self) 🙂

The Holy Spirit has the whole world under conviction of: Sin, Righteousness & The Judgment to come (Hell) — The Holy Spirit has already done all the Work — But it could be through us too: convicting the world of sin, righteousness and the judgment to come. Praying for the Holy Spirit and good angels to help, while in the vineyard, to lead people to the Truth = wise ><>

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, (The Helper, Strengthener, The Holy Spirit {Power/Boldness for the Gospel}) that he may abide with you for ever;

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter (The Helper) will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, (The Helper) which is the Holy Ghost (Spirit), whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 15:26 But when the Comforter (The Helper) is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
