These two verses deal with the rapture:
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Th 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:
So, what does the rapture have to do with the feast of trumpets? Well, for one
thing, there is a lot of shouting and horn blowing. Here is the verses:
Lev 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first
day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
The "blowing of trumpets",, as listed in Strongs Hebrew & Greek dictionary says:
clamor, that is, acclamation of joy or a battle cry; especially clangor of trumpets,
as an alarum: - alarm, blow (-ing) (of, the) (trumpets), joy, jubile, loud noise, rejoicing,
shout (-ing), (high, joyful) sound (-ing).
Now, when does the feast of trumpets take place? Lev 23:22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land,
thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt
thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor,
and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God. (After the harvest)
Here are the feast days in order:
1. Passover
2. Feast of first fruits
3. Pentecost
4. Feast of trumpets
5. Day of atonement
6. Feast of booths
Here's the interesting things about this:
1. Passover - Jesus died on the cross
2. Feast of first fruits - Jesus rose from the tomb
3. Pentecost - The Holy Ghost sent
4. Feast of trumpets - ?
See a trend here? The next feast day IS Feast of Trumpets. You got to take notice that it
is God who set the trend. He established the feast days This isn't just pure luck on God's
part. You have three acts of God, on feast days and that sets the trend. A trend will
continue unless something acts on it to change it. I don't see God changing the trend
after He set it. The next event carried out by God is the rapture. You got the shouting and
the Lord shouting (1 Th 4:16) and Paul says at the last trump (there's plenty of that going on
too).
Did you notice the feast of trumpets comes AFTER the harvest season? The time when people
seperate the wheat from the chaff and gather the wheat into their barns? Sounds Biblical doesn't
it? And this falling away stuff that's going on, is starting to look like the wind blowing the chaff
away from the wheat.
BUT YOU WILL SAY....No one is suppose to know the day or hour! There have been
almost 2000 feasts of trumpets since that day of Pentecost. You really don't know the day.
Even if you were expecting it to happen on a next feast of trumpets, you really wouldn't
know the day or hour. That day could come and go just like the rest. An expectation
isn't the same thing as knowing. Even if you were expecting it on that day, and it happened
on that day, it would surprise you still.
