The LORD Is Coming For His Church in: The Rapture

Posted by Jeffrey in BibleStudy

The Menorah

This depiction of The Menorah being taken away on the Arch of Titus that still stands today in Rome. This frieze is the best known image of what the menorah in the Temple looked like. As such it is this depiction of the Menorah which appears on Israel’s Coat of Arms.

The Menorah has seven branches of candelsticks.  Seven is the perfect number for God.  Israel celebrates seven feasts:

  1. Passover
  2. Unleavened Bread
  3. First Fruits
  4. Pentecost
  5. Trumpets (Rosh Hashana)
  6. Yom Kippur
  7. Feast of Tabernacle

Jesus Christ fulfilled the first four feasts (Spring Feasts) whe He came the first time.  And He will fulfill the last three feasts (Fall Feasts) when He comes the second time.

  1. Passover — Jesus Christ was the Passover Lamb that took away the sin of the world
  2. Unleavened Bread — Jesus was sinless.  Jesus exchanged His perfection for our sin so that He could present us sinless and perfect to the Holy Father in Heaven.
  3. First Fruits — Jesus Christ was the First Fruit after He died and was resurrected He was the first to be resurrected and to be present in Heaven as the First of many to follow through faith in Jesus Christ as their LORD and Savior.
  4. Penticost — Jesus gave His Holy Spirit to the Church when He left.  He did not leave us as orphans but left His Holy Spirit in this world to protect, guide, and direct the Church.
  5. Trumpets — The next event on God’s calendar is the Rapture of the Church.  Of all of the feasts, Rosh Hashana was the one when “no one would know the day nor the hour” because Rosh Hashana occurs on a new moon which shifts in time.  We believe the LORD is going to take His Bride the Church into heaven on Rosh Hashana while the world will spin out of control into the Seven Year Tribulation Period.  The last three and a half years will be the Great Tribulation Period that will become hell on earth.  Meanwhile, in heaven, the Church is celebrating and experienicing the Marriage of the Lamb in heaven (Rev 19, Rev 12:10-12).
  6. Yom Kippur — We believe Jesus Christ will fulfill Yom Kippur with the Return of Jesus Christ.  At the end of the Great Tribulation Period, Jesus will return with the Saints (His Bride) and Jesus will defeat the AntiChrist and False Prophet.  Satan is bound for one thousand years.  Jesus Christ sets up his Millennial Reign on Earth and true Justice and Peace will be on Earth.  The Earth will be renewed and civilization will grow beyond anything that mankind has seen under the direct guidance and leadership of Jesus Christ (Revelation 20:1-6).
  7. Feast of Tabernacle — We believe in a young Earth.  We believe that since creation the time that has expired is six thousand years.  And for the next thousand years (the seventh thousand years of creation), we believe we will tabernacle with Jesus Christ, God the Father, and Holy Spirit (The Holy Trinity) for one thousand years during the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ on Earth.  After that, we will continue to tabernacle with The Holy Trinity for eternity with the creation of a New Heaven and a New Earth (Revelation 21).

Jesus Christ fullfilled the first four Feasts to the day and He will fulfill the next three as well.

  • Leviticus 23 — Talks about God’s Feasts
  • Genesis 1:14 — God placed the sun, moon, and stars in the heavens for signs and signals.  A sign for His Return to this earth.
  • God uses stars to mark time.  Stars, planets, sun, and moon are God’s clock; His calendar.
  • Signals will be during the seven feasts
  • The signs are solar eclipses (Sun is blotted out) and lunar eclipses (also known as a Blood Moon)
  • The feasts are the LORD’s Feasts
  • The LORD was crucified on Passover.  The LORD was bound to the cross at the third hour of the day (9 AM)
  • The Priests sing the Hallel Psalm 113-118 which talks about how the LORD delivers those who follow Him
  • Unleavened Bread: Jesus had no sin.  His body did no decay.
  • Jesus was the First Fruits of the Resurrection.
  • Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  Just as the LORD fulfilled the first four feasts so He will fulfill the Fall Feasts.
  • Israel has Spring Feasts, a Summer Harvest, and Fall Feasts.
    • Jesus fulfilled the Spring Feasts
    • Then God had a harvest over the past 2,000 years of saving mankind from His sin for those who have faith in Jesus Christ as their LORD and Savior, then He gives them the right to become children of God, and they will participate in the Rapture of the Church.
    • Fall Feasts: The feast of Trumpets is tied into the book of Revelation.  God always warns mankind before judgement comes.  Trumpets also coronate the King, and Jesus Christ is coming back of King of Kings and LORD of Lords.
  • 1 Thessalonians 5:1-2 Feasts refers to the appointed times.  You understand the festivals.  The LORD will come as a thief in the night.  Revelation 3:1-3 written to the churches.  He is writing to the dead church.  Jesus warns the dead church that He will come to them as a theif in the night.
  • Laodecian Church Warning: Revelation 3:17-18 Warns the Laodecian Church for being luke-warm and “the shame of their nakedness”
  • Revelation 16:15 says blessed is the one who is watching and aware of the Return of Jesus Christ.  They are not naked nor in shame.
  • Look at the Temple Institute to learn more about the thief in the night:  http://templeinstitute.org
  • Revelation 3:20 Jesus stands at the door of the church and knocks.  Jesus is talking to the church because He is standing outside the church.
  • 1 Thessalonians 5:4-9 “But you, brothers,  are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.  You are sons of light and sons of the day.  We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled.  For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.  But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on the faith and love as a breastplate and the hope of salvation as a helmet.  For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
  • Matthew 25:8-13 The virgins who were ready came to the marriage supper.
  • Luke 12:37-41 Lord says the watching servants are those who are blessed.
  • Then Peter asks the LORD who He is directing the parable to.
  • Luke 12:42-48 But the wicked servant is going to be the one who does not expect the LORD to return and “He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers”.
  • Know what to be watching: Israel
    • 1948 — Israel is regathered as a nation
    • 1967 — Israel wins the six day war and establishes itself in the Middle East once again
  • Luke 19: 41-44 Jesus rebuking the religious leaders because they didn’t know when He was coming to Jerusalem.
  • 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Thessalonians 4:16 At the last trumpet we will all be changed in the Rapture.
  • Israel will blow the last trump at Rosh Hashana (trump #100) and the LORD will call up His Bride the Church into heaven during the Feast of Trumpets.
