Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

The 9th of Av, part 5

5/6th of those who call themselves Christians will not be raptured.

Wait, What?

The Lord explains.

Good servants and Evil servants

Matthew 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

We have learned from some prophecies what this "outer darkness with the weeping and gnashing of teeth is". This will be on the Earth when all the fallen angels are poured out on the earth after the rapture. Basically this is telling you that half of the churches are infiltrated with evil servants, FreeMasons, nominal Christians, people who teach the prosperity gospel and "once saved always saved".

Half have a personal relationship with Jesus and half don't.

25 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

If you started with 12 "Christians" all those who claim to be Christians. After the first story we eliminated half of them. They thought since they were born into a Christian family, or a Christian country, or they simply thought that all religions were essentially the same, or that everyone worshipped the same God. But now we are left with the half that are truly "good" servants of God, watching for His coming. They are real believers who attend church. However, half of these ones the Lord doesn't know them! They don't have a personal relationship with the Lord. Yes, they attend church regularly, they are baptized into the name of Jesus, and they are "virgins". Can't call them evil or wicked. But the Lord says "I never knew you". We started with 12 "Christians" and now we are down to 3 (1/4th of them) who are good servants and who have a personal relationship with the Lord.

2/3rds of those with a personal relationship will also have a ministry

14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. 16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

This guy says he knows the Lord and the Lord doesn't deny it. He has that personal relationship. Also, like the vessels filled with oil, he has a talent. But he didn't invest it, he is an unprofitable servant.

We started with 12, half were nominal Christians, then we had six and half of them didn't have a personal relationship with the Lord. This brought us to 3 but a third of them hid their talent and were unprofitable.

We are left with 2 out of the original 12, or 1/6th.

9th of Av, part 6

Major Breakthrough! The Lord's coming is immediately after this wedding.

Luke 12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

This is a big reveal. What wedding is this? It isn't the Lord's. The Lord is not going to gird Himself and serve his servants when He gets back from His wedding. Also the Lord's wedding would be at His Father's house. This is someone else's wedding and it takes place immediately before the thief comes in verse 39 and 40. We don't know the day or the hour of the Lord's coming but we do know it comes immediately after this wedding.

This wedding is not taking place in the Father's house and it is not something that the faithful servants of the Lord who are watching for the Lord's appearing are involved in. There is a union between two others that the Lord attends and that is the sign that immediately precedes the hour that the thief comes. In fact if you read verse 39 it is not unreasonable to equate the thief breaking into the house with this wedding. At the very least it appears the two happen at the same time.

So then I must conclude that this wedding must be Satan's attempt to usurp man has finally resulted in his union with man. Satan is the thief and man is the temple of God. The thief breaking into the house is a description of Satan breaking into this temple, into man. We have heard that man's genetic makeup has the image and superscription of God on it. You can see the name of God on man's DNA. We are also led to understand that when God said that Noah was perfect it indicated his DNA had not been infected with the fallen angels mating with the daughters of men. The earth was filled with this impure mixture called Nephelim which the flood was sent to wipe out.

Therefore, just as the days of Noah, I suspect this wedding refers to this unholy union between Satan and Man.

The picture is this, Satan is celebrating his union with man, injecting his DNA into man and corrupting man. The servants of the Lord who are watching for His return are guarding the house. Their loins are girded for battle, their lights are lit in this dark night and the house is locked tight which is why they are ready the minute the Lord comes to open up and let him in. In another place we are told that the evil servants of the Lord's house attack these ones who are watching and they went to this wedding to eat and drink with the drunken.

If you want to be part of this one world economic and physical union with Satan you would be at this wedding drinking their koolaid. This is where the adulterers, the fornicators, the LGBTQ+, the sorcerers, and all the brainwashed cult members are. This is where we also would have been had we not been rescued out of this evil age and saved into the kingdom of light.

This wedding is that despicable orgy that Moses came to on Tammuz 17 when he ground their idol to powder and made them drink the bitter water. Moses is a type of Jesus and that is where Jesus is right now. Right now He is grinding to powder their idols and making them drink the bitter water. This will reveal who is guilty of adultery and who isn't. When Moses called who is on the Lord's side the Levites answered immediately. Those are the faithful servants who are girded and have their lights lit and are watching for the Lord ready to open to Him immediately when He calls.

No longer down the road -- it is happening now

Tammuz 17 (July 16th) is when the walls of Jerusalem were breached and it begins a 3 week fast and mourning for the Jews until the 9th of Av when the Temple was removed. I suspect based on CERN and these prophecies that this "wall" that protects the earth was breached on July 16th.

The 9th of Av, part 7

Prophecy is Pattern

John said there were many antichrists, so “the antichrist” is according to the pattern. Judas and Balaam were false prophets, so the false prophet is according to this pattern.

In the same sense we may have a pattern of the tribulation: comparing WWII to the Tribulation

Anti Christ -------------------- Hitler

False Prophet ---------------- Pope Pius XII

Beast -------------------------- Mussolini

Mark ---------------------------- Star of David --> Number tatooed to arm

Concentration Camps ------- Re-Education camps

7 years-------------------------- 7 years

Jews Trouble------------------ Jacob's trouble

World War --------------------- World War

There are other correlations.

1. 1/3 of the Jews on Earth died during the Holocaust and according to Revelation 1/3 of those on the Earth die during the great tribulation.

As you have done it will be done unto you.

2. On the 9th of AV Nebuchadnezzar takes the Israelites to Babylon. On the 9th of AV, 2520 years later WWI starts resulting in 20 million deaths.

3. On the 9th of AV Nebuchadnezzar takes Jerusalem and then 2520 years later Hitler is appointed Chancellor.

4. From God declaring judgement in Nebuchadnezzar was 2520 years to the Nuremberg trials.

The 9th of Av, part 8

Blessed are the poor in spirit

Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Isn't this strange? The prosperity gospel teaches you that gold chains, luxury cars and mansions are evidence that you are blessed. But Jesus taught that the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are "poor in spirit".

So what does that mean? If you are poor you lack. Generally if you don't have enough food or clothes or housing we would say you are poor. But the Lord is not saying "Blessed are the poor", no He is quite specific, "Poor in spirit". So in your spirit you "lack".

So that is hard to understand because Christians want to be powerful in spirit, they want to be filled with spiritual gifts, but the Lord says the blessing is having an empty spirit, or when you are "poor in spirit".

So then what is the opposite of this, perhaps that will make it easier to understand. Laodicea said they were rich and lacked nothing. Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Their attitude was that they were rich and needed nothing, the reality was they were wretched, miserable, poor and blind and naked. So the opposite of this would be to have an attitude that you are poor and in need of the Lord's grace and mercy, while the reality is that you are blessed, and receiving all that the kingdom of the heavens has.

But it is more than that, how do you come each day seeking grace and mercy, each day you receive grace and mercy and yet the next day your attitude is that you are poor and in need of grace and mercy? You have to be like a river, not the dead sea. We are not receptacles that store up and keep God's grace locked up in a big vault. If you are a river so that whatever you receive from the heavens today you pass on, then the next day you will again need to receive the grace and mercy. You have to be a conduit.

Jesus said that "out of our innermost beings will flow rivers of living water". That is what it means to be poor in Spirit and the blessing on this is that yours is the kingdom of the heavens. That is a wonderful picture, the heavens are where the clouds are, they rain on the earth. It is living water of life. It may have rained yesterday but today the heavens are poor and need a fresh filling. But they don't store up the water, it goes into the clouds and then will return to the earth as rain again. The heavens are a picture of what it is to be poor in spirit, they never store up anything. Whenever they are filled with water it will flow out of them, rivers of living water.

Laodicea is the dead sea. The problem with Laodicea is not the inflow, it is the outflow. Why is that? Because the dead sea is at the lowest spot on earth, there is no place for the water to flow to. What is Laodicea, they are the apostate church. They are the church of the laity. The common man has decided that Jesus word is too high for anyone to attain to, so they have sought the lowest possible level to appeal to all. You cannot have a dead sea on the mountain, Laodicea is the church that has sunk to the lowest possible level.

9th Part of Av, part 9

The best I can tell the 9th of Av begins the evening of August 5th and goes to sundown on August 6th. However, if they do not see the new moon tonight in Jerusalem it could delay this one day.

Also, my best guess is that the twinkling of the eye refers to sundown on the 9th of Av, which is August 6th and it also refers to when the sun has risen in the morning on Sodom and Gomorrah which would be 10am California time.

So 1pm EST on August 6th has got to be a very high watch time. To me that means get out of NYC, Miami, Washington DC, Boston, LA, Houston, etc over the Aug5-Aug 7th weekend.

9th of Av, part 10

Blessed are they that mourn

Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Why are they mourning? Is it that our land is sinful and corrupt? Our leaders are crooks who lie to us and rob us blind? The world lies in the evil one and he uses war to bankrupt his enemies and enrich himself while increasing his power? Do you mourn because 2008 revealed how our government devours widows houses and for a pretense makes long prayers? Did you mourn over 911 that the most sophisticated and effective forensic teams in the world were not allowed to do a proper investigation? That the evidence of what took place was destroyed, guarded by the military and then sent to China to be destroyed? Did you mourn because 911 was clearly an inside job and yet it was blamed on an event that was clearly and undeniably not the cause?

Or do you mourn because so many people are deceived, brainwashed, and carried about by this current of this age? Do you mourn because their hearts are on evil continually? Do you mourn for how sinful and fleshly the world had become?

The Lord said that there would be evil servants in His house who ridicule and abuse the good servants because they are mourning. These evil servants will eat and drink with the drunkards. Once the bridegroom was taken from us we should be mourning. We should mourn for sin, for the world, for all these unbelievers who have not repented of sin.

But not all will be mourning. The crucifixion of Jesus was a cause for celebration among the worldly elites who have sold themselves to do evil. Jesus said that at the time of the rapture it would be like the days of Noah where Noah enters the ark and then the flood comes down and destroys all those who are not on the ark. They would be eating and drinking, not fasting and praying, and they would be marrying and giving in marriage, not mourning.

But all that changes in the twinkling of an eye. Those who were mourning are comforted and those who were celebrating are now mourning.

I mention this in connection with the 9th of Av because this is a day of mourning for Israel. It concludes a 3 week period of fasting and mourning. Those who are mourning for these things are blessed, they will be comforted, perhaps this will be the rapture of the church. Those who are not mourning will be eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage. That will all change in the twinkling of an eye.

By the mouth of two or three witnesses let a thing be established.

9th of Av, part 11

Blessed are the meek

Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

These protests that turn into riots and looting, that is not the meek. These mobs that want to intimidate Supreme Court justices, that is not the meek.

If you live by the sword you die by the sword.

These wars are fought by the elite for control, for power. Leaders of countries are like Cartel members fighting it out for territory and power. As a rule cartel members are not interested in shooting and killing "citizens". They don't want to kill the worker bees, they just want your tax dollars going into their pockets. We do not need to get involved in gang wars, cartel wars, rioting, looting, or mob violence.

This does not mean we are spineless cowards justifying our cowardice. Stand up for what is right, stand up for justice, defend the powerless, be a shepherd of the sheep. There is a fine line you need to walk. I recently heard Bill Maher say that it isn't a teachers job to be carrying a gun, they don't want to do it and it is a bad idea.

I am a teacher and I can agree that prior to Sandy Hook we did not see this as our job, and I personally did not want to carry a gun. However, teachers are shepherds of the sheep. It used to be the worst predators were small dogs and you could handle that with a staff. But now we have a pack of wolves preying on the sheep. If I am a shepherd of the sheep in an area with wolves, then I want an AR15. I don't want even odds. I also know that there are many teachers, maybe not a majority, but a significant minority for sure, that do want to carry guns. In Indiana a week ago it became very clear what it means to be "meek" in this new situation. A man with a rifle began shooting and killing people in a mall. Another man was carrying a gun, he pushed his girlfriend to safety and then shot and killed the shooter, all in 15 seconds. The shooter was able to shoot and kill two people in that time. Imagine how many he would have killed if you had to wait five minutes or more for the police.

Definition of meek -- gentle and submissive.

Definition of spineless -- lacking resolution, weak, having no purpose.

Can we see the difference? I would imagine that gentle and submissive could accurately describe an elementary school teacher. However, I would hope that spineless does not describe them. We are submissive to the Lord and His word. He was the good shepherd, He laid down His life for the sheep. If you are a school teacher you should have the same attitude. Half of the reason they oppose teachers carrying guns is that "it isn't their job". I disagree, our job is to lay our life down for the sheep. The other half of the reason is that teachers aren't trained to do this job. I would argue that if teachers are submissive they can be trained to do this job.

Right now the schools and teachers union is under fire for many of their policies that seem to be lifted straight from Sodom and Gomorrah. Those teachers, those schools and those unions will be utterly burned with fire. So then who will inherit the school system? Teachers who are meek, those who are gentle and submissive. They are open to listening to parents voice their concerns, they will understand that they work for the parents and will submit to them, and they understand that part of the job is to keep the little lambs safe from predators, even from wolves with guns.

But carrying a gun in a school has a whole list of issues. Kids are very inquisitive and will invade your space. You could never keep the gun in your desk, locker, or any other place. Nor could you really have it anywhere other than down by your ankle or leg. Anywhere else the kids will discover it, see it, and spread the word.

Instead I would say that several offices like the main office, the principals office, the dean's office, the security office, etc. would have a lock box with an AR 15. I would think we would have at least 3-5 offices per floor in a large school where guns could be safely locked up and where kids would not have access to. These are not classrooms. Kids are rarely in these rooms and they would have no idea what is in that particular lock box. So you need about five people per floor trained to use a gun. That is less than 10% of the adults and probably very close to 5%. You can have more teachers who are conceal carry. But now if you have an active shooter in the building you have the same drill, lock the doors, cover the windows, turn off the lights, get out of sight. Great, but you also have 5 people per floor with AR 15s. No one with a gun is able to just wander down the halls shooting people at will. If your job was to protect a flock of sheep you would do this, how can you not have the same attitude if your job is to protect a bunch of kids.

The 9th of Av was when the children of Israel said they were scared of the giants and would rather die in the wilderness so God said, fine, if you are not willing to stand up and fight like a man, you can die wandering this wilderness for forty years like a coward.

9th of Av, part 12

Correction -- they are anticipating the first sighting of the new moon to be the evening of the 29th.

29-30 = 1st
30-31 = 2nd
31-1 = 3rd
1-2 = 4th
2-3 = 5th
3-4 = 6th
4-5 = 7th
5-6 = 8th
6-7 = 9th of Av.

Again, I hypothesize that the twinkling of the eye will refer to sunset on the 7th for Jerusalem. Sunset is 7:38pm, California is 10 hours earlier, so 9:38am in California is the same time. We are told the rapture is at the twinkling of an eye and we are also told that fire rained down on Sodom and Gomorrah in the morning after the sun had risen in the sky.

One thing I like about this is I always thought that according to the NT the appropriate day for the rapture is the Lord's day, particularly the Lord's table. It is the only day we are told to keep and it is a dress rehearsal for the wedding with Jesus.

9th of Av, part 13

They shall be filled

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

My dad used to make a great steak. Whenever he cooked, it wasn't that often, he would make sure everything was perfect. He would marinate this steak the night before. He would go to the farmer's market and pick up fresh corn that would go into the pot the minute they got back with the corn. The baked potato always was crispy on the skin but just right inside. When my dad was going to be making dinner I would really "hunger and thirst" for that meal. I was ready, I was looking forward for hours, and I came with the big appetite.

I feel like it is the same today. I want righteousness. I want the real crooks responsible for the January 6th event to be caught and roasted. Our society is overrun with crooks, liars, thieves and murderers. I read the prophecies, I read the promises, I have heard that this Pandemic signals that the day of the Lord is at hand. I have been told that the judgement on these ones is like God preparing the wedding feast for His Son. This verse promises that God is preparing this meal and it is going to be great, you will be filled.

I hear many people saying "how long O Lord". That was how I felt prior to my Dad's dinner. The kitchen is crazy right now, lots of pans on lots of fires. Durham in one dish, Bannon in another, Mike Lindell in a third, etc. We have investigations into election fraud, crooked Hillary, Epstein island, and the list goes on and on. But it all has to be timed just right so that everything is ready at the right time for this big meal.

Thank you Lord for your promise that we shall be filled!

9th of Av, part 14

Before the Rapture they will be eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage

Matthew 24:36-39 But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

This verse reveals that prior to the rapture people are eating and drinking.

However, after the rapture what do you think they will be doing? Do you think the Christians who are left behind will be feasting or fasting? Do you think they will be drinking the worldly wine or praying? Will they be getting married or will they be in the upper room seeking the Lord? This is not conjecture, Jesus said it would be like the days of Noah. After the flood came how many were feasting, how many were marrying? He said it would be like the days of Lot. Again, after fire rained down on Sodom how many were feasting and celebrating?

Tammuz 17 begins a 3 week fast in which you don't eat and you don't get married. This verse tells us that the rapture begins a fast, it begins a time when they stop marrying. This culminates in the 9th of Av, a day of universal mourning and fasting.

Now consider this, some people will be fasting and praying, some will be mourning, these are the ones who hunger and thirst for righteousness. These are the ones who are blessed. After Jesus crucifixion some celebrated and some mourned. The church age is an age of fasting, praying and mourning. The Lord is saying that those in the world who are about to be destroyed are clueless to what is coming, they are out eating and drinking when they should be fasting and praying. They are out celebrating when they should be mourning. But then, from the rapture everything changes. All those who were asleep wake up. Those who were drunken have a hangover and are covered in their own vomit.

What day out of the entire year would drive this point home better and more forcibly to the Jews than the 9th of Av. It would tell them that the church was the Temple of God and that temple has just been removed.

The 9th of Av, part 15

The 17th of Tammuz -- A story about Jesus descending from heaven with a shout

1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

The rapture of the saints is preceded by the Lord descending, not ascending. Jesus comes down from heaven and then we go up. Shavuot does not depict Jesus going down, Jesus is depicted by Moses, a type of Christ, ascending into the clouds. This was fulfilled by the Lord’s ascension. The Bible does not say that Jesus was on Earth for 40 days from His resurrection to His ascension. What it says is that He met 40 times with the disciples during that time to teach them about the kingdom. It is very clear from the accounts that the Lord would appear and then disappear. They would decide to go off fishing and then they see the Lord cooking fish on the beach.

What we need as a type of the rapture is a story about Moses descending from the mountain top. We have such a story on Tammuz 17.

The 9th of Av, part 16

Why I think the rapture will be on the Lord's day.

I have been doing this blog for awhile now, at least two years though it wasn't always on this forum. My goal has been to gather and share as many verses as possible that would give a much fuller picture of the rapture. Not just when it is but what is going on before the rapture, what the day will be like, what we should be doing, and even from the viewpoint of all the different people on this planet. Along with that burden I was posting what others were saying because the Bible says "by the mouth of two or three witnesses let a thing be established". Also, I posted the dreams, visions and prophecies of others because according to Joel that is one of the signs of the end of the age.

During this time I asked the Lord for Him to give me a rapture dream and that night I had a very vivid dream that has led me to believe the rapture will be on the Lord's day. The dream was very meaningful to me but I am reluctant to share it because it would require a whole lot of explanation and some of the explanation would expose people and groups that might view it as slander.

But anyway, that got me to reconsider much of what I was seeing online. Everyone was focused on the feast days in the Old Testament because Paul said they were a shadow of things to come and they had seen that the first three major feasts were all fulfilled in the Lord's first coming and being crucified on the cross. I would add that since then I consider the fourth feast, Shavuot, was also fulfilled when Jesus ascended. All of that is valid, but I thought "God is the same today, yesterday and forever" therefore wouldn't the New Testament give us an appointed time for the New Testament saints to rehearse? Those seven feasts are rehearsals fo things that were to come so that when they came they would recognize them. They should have seen that Jesus was the lamb of God, they should have seen that when the graves were opened that was the firstfruit offering to God.

But if the Old Testament had rehearsals for their big days, why wouldn't the New Testament have a rehearsal for our big day? Who has a wedding without having a wedding rehearsal? Isn't that what the Lord said the Lord's table was? After all He said He wouldn't drink this wine again until He drinks it anew with us in the kingdom. The Lord's table is on the 8th day because it signifies a new beginning. Paul said we are a new creation. In the New Testament we are only given one day to keep, the Lord's table. This makes sense, the church is not appointed to wrath, so why would we need to rehearse for the tribulation, and everything in the Lord's table is very focused on the blood of Jesus washing away our sins and of us forgiving others as Jesus forgave us. If we take that to heart we don't need to worry about or rehearse the Great White throne judgement. The Lord's table is where we bring the top ten percent of our experiences of Jesus that week. If we are doing that then we don't need to worry about the Bema seat judgement.

So then, instead of looking at the Old Testament, if I look at the New Testament feasts there is only one, it is the Lord's table. The day of the rapture will be the fulfillment of being called to the Lord's table. So surely it would be on the Lord's day.
