The Jewish Wedding Ceremony is full of significant rituals and is a perfect prophetic parallel of the coming of Yeshua to take his church to be his Bride, a dress rehearsal for The Rapture. Several elements are present at every ceremony, including a ketubah [from kathab כְּתָב- H3791] – a written contract or marriage agreement,… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Nineteen – The Jewish Wedding Pattern

The Rapture – Part Eighteen – No One Knows The Day or Hour
Over the past several years we have taken a look at several Hebrew idioms to better understand the scriptures. In 2014 we discovered that the “heavens” refers to governments and rulers, and “earth” refers to the nations or peoples, most specifically to Israel’s leaders and people. We also discovered that the “sea” and “land” again… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Eighteen – No One Knows The Day or Hour

The Rapture – Part Seventeen – Gone in a Time
Gone In A Time The Resurrection takes place in a twinkling of time, but what about The Rapture, itself? Is it also an instantaneous event? I think not. There are too many patterns of The Rapture in scripture that do not fit this image. Exodus 19:10-11 – “Yahweh said to Moses, ‘Go to the people… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Seventeen – Gone in a Time
The Worm That Never Dies
Two years ago we looked at some Hebrew words that are translated worm, and determined that Yeshua called himself a specific type of worm, a tola worm [H8439].

The Rapture – Part Sixteen – Gone in a Twinkling
Gone In A Twinkling Poof! We’re gone in an instant but our clothes, jewelry, and other worldly items simply fall to the ground.

Catastrophic Weather Syndrome
Genesis 12:3 “And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Are you still amazed at the many “coincidental” weather patterns that seem to develop when moves are taken against Israel by those in powerful positions in the United… Continue reading Catastrophic Weather Syndrome
The Rapture – Part Fourteen – Advance Notices
Advance Notices Are The Norm Personal Advance Notices Will there be a personal ‘Advance Notice’ on The Rapture for the Bride of Yeshua? Surely you jest.

Choose Your Consequences
This article may seem a little blunt to some, so let me start by stating a Biblical principle and patterns, then asking a couple of questions.

The Rapture – Part Seven – Hidden and Concealed
Closed Doors, Hidings, Or Concealments Those who hope in The Rapture are often attacked for looking for the great escape, for the hiding away from calamity. This, some say, is pure fantasy.

The Importance of a Witnessed Rapture Why is it important that the rapture be witnessed?

Yeshua’s Powerful Blood
