Two years ago I wrote: “Over the past twelve years I have made many efforts to correct some misperceptions about the rapture. Two of those are: the rapture is an instantaneous disappearing event (NOT), and nothing has to happen before the rapture takes place (NOT). Part of those efforts have been to contact well known… Continue reading Wheat Versus Chaff

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 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 Sixteen – Gone in a Twinkling

Rosenberg’s… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Sixteen – Gone in a Twinkling

The Rapture – Part Eleven – The Bride Seen in Heaven

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 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

Titans / Giants / Nephilim For years we have been told that the Sons… Continue reading Nothing To See Here
Triune Patterns Revisited- The Pattern of Three
The Three Witnesses Scripture is filled with the patterns and images of three and multiples of three. The length of the ark Noah built was 300 cubits (Genesis 6:15). Noah had three sons from whom all the families of the earth were spread (Genesis 9:19). Yahweh walked through the carcasses of a heifer, she goat,… Continue reading Triune Patterns Revisited- The Pattern of Three
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

Ezekiel 12:2 – “Human being, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes that can see, but they don’t take notice; and they have ears that can hear, but they don’t pay attention.” You have heard it said by many Pastors, Teachers, and Biblical Scholars that “ There is no prophecy or event… Continue reading Instant Rapture Wrap Up
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.
