Here is a quick overview of the… Continue reading Witnessed Rapture Overview

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 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

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

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
