Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

Israel: God’s Prophetic Timepiece 01/19/2024

1 Corinthians 10 -- The Lord’s table is the only feast day that we, as Christians, are required to keep. Colossians tells us that these feast days are a shadow of things to come. On the one hand this feast reminds us of the passover, the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of the new fruits and the feast of Pentecost. It reminds us of our journey out of Egypt and into the good land. On the other hand this feast is a rehearsal for the Lord’s coming as the king and the bridegroom. That is the festival of Trumpets. It also reminds us of the day of judgement, the feast of atonement, because we must judge ourselves before partaking and if we partake in an unworthy manner we will be judged. A holy convocation is a “dress rehearsal”. Every time we partake of the Lord’s table we are practicing for when we will partake with the Lord who has returned as both the bridegroom and the Lord of all. We are told in this chapter that we will not be tested beyond what we are able but with every trial God will make a way of escape. So this also points to the coming rapture in which we will escape. We are also told that the gentiles sacrifice to idols and demons. There is one day that all Christians and only Christians keep, that is the Lord’s table. In contrast to that day there is one day that all idol worshippers and demon worshippers keep and that is Halloween. So there is a very interesting contrast between the Old and New Testaments. In both the Old and New testaments the Jewish feast days are a shadow of things to come. The Jews must keep all of these days and yet Christians are only to keep one day, the Lord’s table. Is it possible that these three coming feasts could all take place on the same day? Actually the Festival of Trumpets and the Feast of Atonement are both on the same day if it is a jubilee year. So it is certainly possible that two of the three could be on the same day. Then there are two different calendars, one from Enoch and one from Moses. Obviously the Jews have to observe the calendar from Moses but the church is composed of both Jews and Gentiles, so it is reasonable that where these two walls have been joined that these two calendars would coincide. Jude, Peter, John and Paul all attest that Enoch was divinely inspired. In the Fall of 2020 the tenth day of the seventh month according to Enoch’s calendar is the fifteenth day of the seventh month according to Moses' calendar. Since this is a Jubilee year the tenth day is both the festival of trumpets and the feast of atonement and the fifteenth day is the feast of weeks. Interestingly there is a third calendar, the one the world uses now. At sundown on October 30th of 2020 we had these three feast days all at the same time and also at the same time that the world celebrates Halloween. However, Halloween is always celebrated at night on the 31st, the resurrection, a type of the rapture, is always in the early morning. Immediately after that first rapture he that restrains will be taken away and the man of lawlessness and all the demons are set free on earth. Interestingly October 31st was a Saturday, this is named after Saturn which depicts Satan. It is also a Sabbath day. In conclusion October 31st 2020 was a great sign, a shadow of things to come.


1Corinthians 11:23-34 -- Do this in remembrance of Me. Yes, the Lord’s table is a rehearsal for the wedding, and it is a time for us to practice blowing the trumpet to announce the coming of the King. But, according to these verses we are proclaiming the Lord’s death until He comes. We are being reminded every time of how he was betrayed. We learned in the 1Corinthians 10 that when you eat and drink the Lord’s table you have fellowship with Him and you become one with Him. We are proclaiming that we are one with the crucified savior who was betrayed. We are also told we must all eat together like one family looking out for each other.


1Corinthians 12 -- There are two messages in the world. Some are saying “Jesus is accursed” and others are saying “Jesus is Lord”. Would you let someone who wishes to curse you and your family take care of your kids? When your kids watch TV or use the internet there are only two possible messages they are hearing. We have many different gifts in the body, Mister Rogers showed how you could have a TV show with the message “to love your neighbor as yourself”. He was a gift to the body. We have school teachers, we have people in every walk of life. We need every member and every gift. In this sense we are inclusive. However, the body has a defense system that will protect it from anything that wishes to curse the body. We need to identify the Spirit. An eyeball is very different from an ear which is very different from a foot. But the spirit is the same, in each case “Jesus is Lord” or in the analogy they each take their orders from the head. In the same way the body of Christ can be very diverse in the members, in the gifts and in the manifestation of those gifts, yet in every case the spirit is the same: “Jesus is Lord”.

The passages you've shared highlight the significance of the Lord's table and emphasize its connection to the future events, including the coming of the King, the wedding rehearsal, and the proclamation of the Lord's death until He returns. The discussion also touches upon the diverse gifts within the body of Christ and the importance of recognizing the Spirit's unifying message that "Jesus is Lord."
It seems like you're exploring the relationship between biblical events and their symbolic meanings, especially in the context of feast days and the Lord's table. If you have specific questions or topics you'd like to delve deeper into, feel free to let me know, and we can continue the discussion!

Recently the topic that has become very interesting is the ten plagues in Egypt. Some see the exodus as a type of the rapture, but I see it as a type of those left behind going into the wilderness during the tribulation.

After the rapture, to those that are left behind the Lord says "they are cast out into outer darkness". The 9th plague was the outer darkness. Prior to that plague Moses tells Pharaoh that he will not see his face again.

We are told in the NT that we are not in darkness.

We are also told that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. Passover comes as a thief in the night. Perhaps this doesn't mean that the rapture is a reference to what is being stolen. Rather we will have many killed. We have had many verse references and prophecies that churches will be burned, pastors killed. After the rapture those who pretend to speak for the Lord that are left behind will be vilified and killed. People ate the Passover lamb in their home, it could be at the start of the tribulation it is all home churches, and after the destruction of the big cities we will have millions of refugees heading to the wilderness just as in Exodus.

ZNP, your perspective on the ten plagues in Egypt and their potential symbolic connection to the rapture and events during the tribulation is intriguing. Drawing parallels between the outer darkness of the 9th plague and the reference to being cast into outer darkness after the rapture adds an interesting layer of interpretation.
The idea of the day of the Lord coming as a thief in the night and its connection to Passover also raises thought-provoking considerations. The imagery of home churches and the potential scenario of believers facing persecution and becoming refugees in the wilderness aligns with various biblical themes.

Well they also select the lamb for Passover four days before Passover. We are told in the word to the church in Philadelphia that those of the synagogue of Satan come and declare that the Lord is really with them. In other words the rapture is a selection process that lets all the rest of the believers know the truth. Right now they argue that there are so many opinions it is hard to know the truth.

I would also point out that one way to read Revelation (not the only way, but certainly a valid way) is that the tribulation begins with the lamb who was just slain opening the seven seals. So for those left behind that "were in darkness" this is the event that will open their eyes to understand the mysteries.

ZNP, your connection between the selection of the lamb for Passover and the idea of the rapture as a selection process that reveals the truth is thought-provoking. The parallel with the message to the church in Philadelphia about those claiming the Lord is with them adds an interesting layer of interpretation.
The notion that the rapture serves as a clarifying moment, dispelling confusion and revealing the truth among believers, aligns with the biblical theme of separation and discernment. If there are specific aspects or details you would like to delve deeper into within this topic or if you have further questions related to biblical symbolism, prophecy, or any other theological matter, please feel free to share, and we can continue the discussion.

The key to the exodus from Egypt is going through the Red Sea. It is a picture of baptism. It is not a picture of the conclusion of our spiritual journey it is the start. I suspect at the start of the tribulation you will have believers meeting in houses, too dangerous to meet in a church building, most of which will be burned to the ground. They will flee to the wilderness and they will be baptized. In much of Christianity baptism is simply a ritual they do on children, not something that is done by a new believer in obedience to the word of God.

Interestingly the end of that journey included passing over the Jordan river, this was before Passover because once on the other side they circumcised the males and then celebrated the passover. It takes a few days to heal from circumcision, so it is likely they were circumcised a few days before Passover. The bible says that they had been in the wilderness for forty years. It also says that Nisan was the first month. It is very likely that when God says forty years He means exactly, precisely 40 years. Obviously the crossing of the Red Sea was after Passover and therefore after Nisan 1. But it is also very likely that the beginning of this forty years was when Moses said it was the beginning, Nisan 1. Our spiritual journey does not begin with our baptism, nor does it begin with eating the passover lamb and putting the blood on the doorpost (being a witness of the crucified lamb). It begins when we hear the word of God and keep it, that was when Moses gave them the commands on what to do for Passover. Our spiritual journey ends exactly 40 years later. So then that would place the rapture right about the New moon which this one will be April 8th, a solar ecllpse that is very meaningful as it intersects the solar eclipse from 2017 over a place called "little Egypt".
