Witnessed Rapture Overview
Over the last couple of years, beginning in 2010, the Pre-Tribulation Rapture parallels, patterns, pictures, and types have been documented. And all point to a very noisy, loud, full on, joyous, heart warming, momentous, glorious occasions, not some quiet, private celebration between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Here is a quick overview of the… Continue reading Witnessed Rapture Overview
The Rapture – Part One – Rapture Definitions
The Origin Of The Word Translated “Rapture” 1 Thessalonians 4:17 – “Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with the resurrected dead in Yeshua in the clouds to meet Yeshua in the air, and so we will always be with him.” One can continue to be obstinate and declare that… Continue reading The Rapture – Part One – Rapture Definitions
The Rapture – Part Two – Imminency
Imminency, as it Relates to Bible Prophecy Imminent Is / Is Not Romans 8:23 – “We groan inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption, the redemption of our bodies.” Imminency, as it relates to Bible prophecy, simply means that the return of Yeshua Ha’Mashiach for his bride is anticipated and approaching. It does not mean… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Two – Imminency
The Rapture – Part Three – A Witnessed Rapture
The Importance of a Witnessed Rapture Why is it important that the rapture be witnessed? The witnessed rapture brings glory to Yahweh whereas an instant disappearing rapture allows Satan to steal glory that only belongs to Yahweh / Yeshua. Let’s examine how that works. Proving the Prophecies – Advance Notice of Rapture Enoch and Elijah… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Three – A Witnessed Rapture
The Rapture – Part Four – Wedding Vows at Sinai
Wedding Vows At Mount Sinai Did you know that the noisy, joyous gathering at Mt. Sinai (Exodus 19) is a picture, pattern, or type of the taking of the bride and the coming rapture celebration? The Courtship After four hundred years of slavery in Egypt, Yahweh began to prepare the Hebrews to leave Egypt. To… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Four – Wedding Vows at Sinai
The Rapture – Part Five – Midrash On The Exodus
A Midrash On The Exodus by Paul 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 – “Yeshua himself will descend from Heaven, with a loud shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the shofar call of Yahweh. The dead in Yeshua will rise first, then we who are still alive will be caught up in the clouds to… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Five – Midrash On The Exodus
The Rapture – Part Six – Gatherings and Great Escapes
Gathering Together and Great Escapes The Gathering Together In The Great Assembly 1 Kings 8:65 – “Solomon held the festival at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly” Psalm 22:25 – “From Yahweh comes my praise in the great assembly.” Psalm 35:18 – “Then I will thank Yahweh in front of the… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Six – Gatherings and Great Escapes
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. But the scriptures say that this hope is no fantasy at all, but reality – those who are called up in the Rapture… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Seven – Hidden and Concealed
The Rapture – Part Eight – Yahweh’s H’s, R’s, and D’s
The Rapture Patterns – Yahweh’s H’s, R’s, and D’s Psalm 104:19 – “He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the place of its setting.” Isaiah 45:18 – “Yahweh formed the Earth and made it; he established it; he created it not a chaos . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:33-40 – “Yahweh is… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Eight – Yahweh’s H’s, R’s, and D’s
The Rapture – Part Nine – In the Body or In The Spirit
People and Others Who Are Raptured In the Body or In The Spirit Scripture has a lot to say about the Rapture, and about the people who have already been raptured. There are two types of rapture: 1) Bodily Rapture, and 2) Spiritual Rapture. People Taken In The Body In every case those who have… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Nine – In the Body or In The Spirit
The Rapture – Part Ten – The Integral Part of Horses
The Integral Part of Horses in the Rapture Scripture is filled with narratives about horses and chariots, but few have ever realized that horses may play an integral part in the Rapture of the Bride of Yeshua. Other books mentioned in the scriptures also speak of horses and their part in a person’s rapture. Both… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Ten – The Integral Part of Horses
LA Marzulli’s White Horse Vision
I have written extensively during the past twelve years about the integral part of horses involvement in the bodily rapture of human beings from earth to the clouds according to scripture, and LA Marzulli has on several occasions spoken of the white horse he saw in a vision. Here is a synopsis of that account… Continue reading LA Marzulli’s White Horse Vision
The Rapture – Part Eleven – The Bride Seen in Heaven
The Bride of Yeshua Is Seen In Heaven Revelation gives a clear picture of events to come, their sequence, and whether or not the Bride of Yeshua, commonly referred to as The Church, is in heaven during this period of time. The Sequence of Events Revelation 1:19 – “Write the things which you have seen,… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Eleven – The Bride Seen in Heaven
The Rapture – Part Twelve – The Crown of Righteousness
The Rapture Crown - The Crown of Righteousness 1 Corinthians 9:24 – “In a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the crown.” There are five crowns mentioned in scripture: • The Incorruptible Crown: the crown of self control and victory in the Christian life (1 Corinthians 9:24-27), • The Crown of Rejoicing:… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Twelve – The Crown of Righteousness
The Rapture – Part Thirteen – The Overcomer
The Rapture Overcomer Matthew 13:44 – “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” 1 John 5:4-5 – “For whatever is born of Yahweh overcomes the world.… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Thirteen – The Overcomer
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. Didn’t Yeshua say of that “day and hour no one knows”? Yeshua did, indeed, say that, but in other scriptures, a definite pattern showing ‘Advance Notice’ of rapture-like events… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Fourteen – Advance Notices
The Rapture – Part Fifteen – The Apostasia
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 – “But in connection with the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah and our gathering together to meet him, we ask you, brothers, not to be easily shaken in your thinking or anxious because of a spirit or a spoken message or a letter supposedly from us claiming that the Day… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Fifteen – The Apostasia
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. This “in the twinkling of an eye” image of The Rapture being instantaneous has been popularized by numerous books, including Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins’ Left Behind series, and Joel C. Rosenberg’s… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Sixteen – Gone in a Twinkling
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
Alton Ragan – The Dead Rise First
Ecclesiastes 1:9 and 3:15 both tell us – “There is nothing new under the sun. What has been done will be done again.” Deuteronomy 19:15 – “A fact must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.” When we look at scripture, we readily affirm that parallels, patterns, pictures, and types have prophetical… Continue reading Alton Ragan – The Dead Rise First
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 Nineteen – The Jewish Wedding Pattern
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 Twenty – The One-Time Moedim
Ecclesiastes 1:9 – “What has been is what will be, what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.” You have heard it said, history repeats itself, and that is true to some extent. Previous happenings in history tend to happen again and again, but not in… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Twenty – The One-Time Moedim
The Rapture Part Twenty One – The Ultimate Party
If prior events are the pattern, then the Rapture is going to be the noisiest, most jubilant celebration Heaven has ever witnessed – It isn’t going to be a quiet affair, for sure! Are you looking forward to the Rapture / Resurrection with joy, with a living hope, and overwhelming gladness? Are you expecting a… Continue reading The Rapture Part Twenty One – The Ultimate Party
The Rapture Part Twenty Two – The Pre-Trib Rapture Proved
The Pre-Tribulation Rapture Proved In numerous scriptures a period of seven years of tribulation, trial, and judgment is described. It is during this period that the Antichrist is revealed and the saints are overcome, as described by the Prophets, Daniel, and Revelation. It is also during this period that scripture tells us that large numbers… Continue reading The Rapture Part Twenty Two – The Pre-Trib Rapture Proved
The Rapture Part Twenty Three – We Wait For The Rapture
We Wait For The Rapture One tradition teaches that Paul’s writings may simply indicate that The Rapture is a number specific event, not a date specific one. It will come, as Paul indicates, when the full number of Gentiles has come in. The phrase full number is taken from a nautical term that described the… Continue reading The Rapture Part Twenty Three – We Wait For The Rapture
The Rapture Part Twenty Four – Summary of Topics
Over the last couple of years, beginning in 2010, the Pre-Tribulation Rapture parallels, patterns, pictures, and types have been documented. And all point to a very noisy, loud, full on, joyous, heart warming, momentous, glorious occasions, not some quiet, private celebration between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Today we take a quick summary of… Continue reading The Rapture Part Twenty Four – Summary of Topics
The Pre-Tribulation Resurrection / Rapture
In numerous scriptures a period of seven years of tribulation, trial, and judgment is described. It is during this period that the antichrist is revealed and the saints are overcome, as described by the Minor Prophets, Daniel, and Revelation. It is also during this period that scripture tells us that large numbers of people will… Continue reading The Pre-Tribulation Resurrection / Rapture
Harpazōs
Are there any images of resurrections or raptures (harpazōs) in the scriptures? Let’s see: In the Older Covenant we have the following pictures or patterns: One man disappeared and nobody knew what happened to him. One man disappeared while others watched. One man died and was buried, but nobody knew where. These I believe are prophetic… Continue reading Harpazōs
Seven Rapture Patterns
Interpretive Lenses The best scholars use many different lenses to interpret scripture which include allegorical, archeological, anthropological, cultural, feminist/homosexual, German Higher Critical, Grammatical, Hebrew idioms, Rabbinical sayings, rational, rhetorical, and theological. Another lens is the lens of PaRDeS, or four levels (Pashat, Remez, Drash, Sod). A final lens is the lens I call the ParTy… Continue reading Seven Rapture Patterns
Imminent Return-Part One
Near At Hand The Greek words eggus [G1451 ἐγγύς], eggizo [G1448 ἐγγίζω], or tachu [G5035 ταχύ] mean at hand, near, or without delay – in other words: imminent. They are equivalent to the Hebrew word qarowb [H7138 קָרוֹב]. Imminent means impending; hence it could happen immediately, within ten minutes, ten months, or ten years. Imminence… Continue reading Imminent Return-Part One
Imminent Return-Part Two
In Part One we examined the assertion that “There is no prophecy or event that must occur before Yeshua can return for his bride,” and found it to be a false narrative. We will now look at the rest of the assertion that “Yeshua can come at any time, he could even come before you… Continue reading Imminent Return-Part Two
Imminent Return-Part Three
In Part One we examined the assertion that “There is no prophecy or event that must occur before Yeshua can return for his bride,” and found it to be a false narrative because the dead must be raised first. In Part Two we examined the rest of the assertion “Yeshua can come at any time,… Continue reading Imminent Return-Part Three
