Shauvot/Pentecost and The Rapture of the Church

[alwayslookingup]

I think it is very sad that the media and many people are laughing and making jokes about the Rapture of the Church. If they only knew how close it is they would not be laughing at all. I spent the day yesterday studying and doing research. I found some interesting things about Pentecost/Shavuot the festival of weeks. Festival of WEEKS…..that is very interesting. Count those 7’s down……..the House of Israel and the House of Judah will have a new covenant and we will be living the promise.

God commanded that the 49 days between Passover and Shavuot be counted daily. This is called the counting of the Omer (this in itsleft, should tell everyone that loves Gods word, this time is very important). Please do some research about the counting and the 2 loave offering. Ive been asking myself…Why is this date so important? I began doing research on what has happened in the past on this day (Shavuot/Pentecost) through scripture and from history. Did you know that God made a covenant with Noah on this day? He also made a covenant with Abraham on this day. Moses was placed into the nile on this day. He gave the covenant of the Law to Moses on this day at the foot of Mt Sinai. (this was the only other place other than the description of the Rapture where the TRUMP of GOD was heard. Jesus judged the fig tree on this day. The physical re-birth of the nation of Israel happened on this day. The disciples were told to wait and were filled with the Holy Spirit on this day. Some other interesting things. David was born and died on this day of the year. I guess that would have made Solomon who built the temple King on that day. Ruth the gentile curled up at the feet of Boaz on this day. Jesus spoke to the gentile woman at the well on this day. In the song of Solomon the groom tells the bride to” Arise, my love my fair one and come away” (probably on this day based on …..the voice of the turtle dove and the fig tree putteth forth her green figs, Song of Soloman 2:13). So…I think I got the picture.

Hebrews 8.8-13 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Hbr 8:9
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Hbr 8:10
For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Hbr 8:11
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Hbr 8:12
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Hbr 8:13
In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.


My point in all of this is when the new covenant is made the Church will be gone…..Raptured and very very soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2Pe 3:3-4 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.
(Not so, Noah a’s ark was not just a fairy tale)

The media hayday and the scoffing are foretold and another siginificant sign of the time we live in. My dear friends we are so near!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to this site, alwayslookingup. Good screen name btw.

I was just about to make a post regarding the media and many people reacting to the failed Harold Camping prediction of the rapture taking place on May 21, when I opened your thread. In particular, I was listening to coast to coast radio. They had a non-christian guest on, who was touting his book regarding why people believe what they believe. Of course, the timing was aimed at Camping's failed prediction. Anyway, the host, I forgot who, was really having a good time mocking the rapture. This tells me we are really close.

to the forums alwayslookingup. After December 21st 2012 comes and goes people will become even more jaded and contemptuous. It's sorta like the boy who cried wolf one too many times, when it actually does happen they won't be expecting it.

Thank you for the Welcome!!!!!! I have been a reader and a guest here for many years. I have been a little sad that this thread has been so quiet lately. I always check in to see whats going on. It should be hopping!!!!!!!! I guess everyone is too busy paiently watching and waiting. Thats what I have been doing too! The next 2 1/2 weeks may be more than we can handle or even dream about.
Love to you all for keeping me afloat for many years!!!!!!!!

I actually have files regarding every feast day and the possibilities of the rapture during those feasts. They all have great reasons and explanations. I have finally decided that any day is a great day and I just hope and pray it's soon.


Welcome to the board alwayslookingup!

Perhaps the diaspora is why the day could not be known concerning this feast.

I remember a thread here talking about "no one knows the day or hour" as it related to the Hebrews having to wait for the full moon that month before determining the holy day. Any one else remember that? Maybe a Mark Biltz thread?

SoG, that is one of the reasons why I believe that the rapture will be beyond Dec 21 2012. The bible does seem to tell us that the Lord will seem to be late... (but of course, God is never late but the world sets a date that will pass and then will scorn at us)

Blessings,

Two verses in 2 Peter come to mind and they both deal with our Lord's return. Verse 4 is what we are seeing in response to the "false prophecy" of Harold Camping.

2Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

But the next verse (v.9) just happens to be a "never fear" for those who follow the Lord, and give his reason for not coming in our time frame, but rather in His.

2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Well, knowing satan to be the counterfeit that he is, I got a kick out of his using a false prophet to declare that "a Pentecost Rapture" on the wrong date was forthcoming.

Does that mean a "Pentecost Rapture" on the right date is just around the corner?!

Oh man, I sure hope so. Been holding Pentecost parties for lots of years now.....

I remember this too, but can't remember where. It was something like, because the Jewish day starts at sunset, the feast is technically 3 days long ( figure Friday evening till Sunday evening, for instance, is 3 days. And the shofar is blown when the NEW moon is spotted by the naked eye. Since we don't know at what point the dark side of the moon will be visible, we aren't sure which of the "three days" or which hour that the shofar will sound.
