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.

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 !!!!!!! 🙂

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:

Shalom all Christians,

Much Love, Blessing, Wisdom, and Honor 🙂 

Regarding the Title of The Post, I am pretty certain with myself, that the Rapture is going to happen at The Feast of Trumpets ! One Main Reason of the confidence is this :: Jesus/Yeshua, was Crucified to the Day and Hour of When The Sacrificial Lamb, was Sacrificed, on God’s Feast Day of Passover.

Jesus/Yeshua (Yahshua) was then in the tomb on The Feast Day of Unleavened Bread, and then rose from the dead, on the Feast of First Fruits. Being the First fruits of Rising from the Dead. 

The Holy Spirit was then Sent on the Feast of Pentecost. Thus The Four Spring Feasts of God — Our Father whom is Holy & Righteous and a Mighty King: YHVH, The Ancient of Days — which are Holy Convocations (or Holy Rehearsals of the Real Thing) were all ful-filled by Jesus at His First Advent !

Given This Awesome Truth/Reality, I Am staying with God’s ways, and Believe That The Three Fall Feasts Will Be Ful-filled by Jesus/Yahshua as well.

The Feast of Trumpets is the next Feast in line for ful-fillment. This is most likely when Jesus/Yeshua will Arrive as The Bridegroom To Rapture His Bride The Church. 🙂

The Second Coming/Armageddon or The Last Day of This Age will most likely be at The Feast Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).

The 1,000 Year Millennial Reign of Jesus, our King, Friend, High Priest, Bridegroom, Good Shepherd, Lord, Brother, Savior & And God’s Son, will probably ful-fill The Feast Day of Tabernacles (Sukkot). Thus All Seven of God’s Feast Days or Holy Convocations (Rehearsals) (Divine Appointments) Will Be Fulfilled! 

The Feast of Trumpets Significance To The Rapture is This ::

• It is known as the Feast of Where no man knows the Day or the Hour of when it will begin. Matthew 25:13
• There is a Last Trump sounded at The Feast of Trumpets with a Total of 100 Trumpet Blasts.
  • In Relation To The Last Trumpet at The Feast of Trumpets and the Rapture we have :: 1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 
• The Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) is also known as Yom Hadin or The Day of The Lord, and will probably see Daniel 9:27 – The Seven Year Peace Deal Confirmed By The Anti-Christ, happening at this Appointed Time as well. 
  • The Feast of Trumpets is also known as:
    • Yom Teruah: day of the awakening blast (Resurrection)
    • Yom Ha Din: day of judgment (Tribulation)
    • Yom Ha-Zikaron: day of remembrance (Rapture)
    • Yom Ha Melech: coronation of the King (Christ)
    • Rosh Hashana – Secular New Year
    • Opening of The Books
    • Opening of The Gates
    • Yom HaKeseh = The Hidden Day
    • Ha Kiddushin = The Wedding of The Messiah

The Parable of The Ten Virgins and Ancient Jewish Wedding Significance To The Rapture is This  ::

Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 

In an Ancient Jewish Wedding there would be 6-10 individuals who would follow the processional with oil lamps — Jesus/Yeshua is the Bridegroom who is Returning For His Bride The Church.

Matthew 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

Revelation 19:9 — And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed (well off – to be envied) are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 

2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 

3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 

6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 

In An Ancient Jewish Wedding, The Bridegroom would usually arrive late at night — near Midnight — There would be shouting/A Trumpet Sounded. Regarding The Rapture :: 1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 

7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 

9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 

Jesus/Yeshua is The Bridegroom of The Church who is Returning for His Bride, The Church.

11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 

12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 

13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

This last verse is geared more for the Feast of Trumpets — being that, the Feast is known as the Day of where no man knows the Day or The Hour — And Being The Feast of Trumpets/Yom Teruah is also known as :: Ha Kiddushin = The Wedding of The Messiah.

In An Ancient Jewish Wedding if the Bridegroom was asked when the Wedding would be, he would say: I don’t know, not the angels in Heaven, only my Father knows — that is because the Bridegroom when he was leaving The Bride (after becoming betrothed) would say something like :: I go to prepare a place for you, and I will return to bring you with me.

This is what Jesus/Yeshua/Yah’shua The Bridegroom said at The Last Supper/Passover Meal before He Died For the Sins of The World as The Lamb of God :: John 14:2 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. 3 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.  !! 🙂 

Yeshua Bridegroom Verses:

Matthew 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

John 3:29 — (John The Baptist speaking) He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. 

At An Ancient Jewish Wedding Also, there were 4 Cups of Wine shared  ::

1. Cup of Sanctification
2. Cup of Betrothal, Cup of Plagues (Ibid.) Cup of Bargaining, or the Cup of Dedication
3. Cup of Redemption — (the cup during the Passover — There are also 4 Passover Cups)
4. Cup of Praise

The Passover Sees These 4 Cups of Wine ::

Matthew 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.

Drinking From The Cup of The Lord at Church is a Major Blessing !
