Will Christians know the day of the rapture before it happens?
Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
1. We all know the verse that "no one knows the day" and I think what that means is a little different from what most people understand. At the time Jesus was speaking everyone He was talking to knew the holy feast days of the Lord, and He was saying it was not one of those days. For example, everyone knows Washington's birthday, everyone knows Memorial day, everyone knows Labor day. These are days on the calendar that everyone knows. The Jews also had days on their calendar that everyone knew and Jesus was saying it was not one of those days.
But on the other hand He was saying it would be a "day" on the calendar that everyone knows, only it wasn't on the calendar yet. Why? Because this is a big day for the Gentile church, it is their day, and so you have to look at Church history to find this day, not at the Old Testament history.
2. In Revelation chapter 3 Jesus tells the church in Sardis that unless they repent they will not know the day, but that His return will be as a thief in the night. Now Jesus was very specific about their repentance, they needed to return to the beginning when they dug out the word of God.
I understand Sardis to be the Protestant reformation when Christians left the Catholic church. You can compare that day to the rapture because there were a minority of believers holding to the word of God who left the big religious organization that had become the Apostasy. The day they came out could be considered the day that Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis to the church door. The day He did that was October 31st.
Today that day, October 31st is a very well known day in the US, the only "Christian" nation on earth. It was an Irish harvest festival and it has become the most significant day on the calendar for Satanists.
3. Jesus also said "no one knows the hour" but then a few decades later Paul told us the hour, it is the twinkling of an eye, or sunset. Now that is very significant because there are no holidays that are celebrated at the twinkling of an eye except for Halloween.
Easter -- Sunrise service
Christmas -- Midnight mass
July 4th -- barbecue
Thanksgiving -- Mid day meal
St. Patricks day -- parade during the day
New Years day -- Midnight
Now you can argue that linking the most important day to the protestant reformation to what Jesus said to the church in Sardis, is a tenuous connection. But tying this to what Paul said about the twinkling of an eye, that is a black and white word.
But there are more.
4. Jesus said on that day people would be in the field working, people would be at the mill grinding, people will be getting married, and people will be eating and drinking. This eliminates the sabbath, it eliminates major holidays like Christmas and Easter, and it eliminates religious fast days. This eliminates Thanksgiving. However, it does not eliminate Halloween.
Now think about this, we are looking for a day on the calendar that everyone knows, but which no one knew at the time of Jesus. We are looking for a day that was perhaps the most important day for the church in Sardis, the Protestant Reformation, but which is also the most important day for Satan because once the restrainer leaves He will be unrestrained. We are therefore looking for a religious holiday that the Protestant Reformation has forgotten (Jesus told them to repent and go back to that day otherwise they would not know when He returns) but that the devils and demons are very much aware of (remember the devils that said to Jesus are you coming to torment us before the day, they know the day).
5. But, there is more to this day. Ruth getting married to Boaz is a type of the gentile church being raptured to the heavens. There are two books in the Old Testament with names of women, Ruth and Esther and these both depict weddings, one of a Gentile bride and one of a Jewish bride. Ruth gets married after the harvest. Jesus also depicts the rapture as the wheat being harvested and brought to the barn and the tares being tossed into the fire. In Jeremiah we are told "the summer is over and we are not saved" depicting the left behind saints realizing they are left behind after the harvest. The Jews only had two seasons, summer and winter. Summer ends with a big harvest festival, that marks the end of the summer and the start of the winter.
So then, what is a day on the calendar that everyone knows today but didn't know at the time of Jesus? You can eliminate all the Jewish holy days.
This holy day is at the end of the harvest season.
This day would be very special to the Protestant reformation, but a day they have forgotten.
This day would be very special to Satanists.
This holiday is celebrated at "the twinkling of the eye".
At this point it is crystal clear it is talking about Halloween, but you might ask what is the proof that this day is supposed to be special to the Satanists?
6. In the Old Testament the holy days were holy convocations, that means they were dress rehearsals. Satan is a copy cat, his special day is also a dress rehearsal.
The rapture of the church is likened to Jesus giving up the "ghost". The left behind saints are the ones crying "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me" while the raptured ones are the ones that Jesus says "into they hands I commend my Spirit". They are the spirit filled ones. At that moment when the rapture takes place Jesus takes a tour through hades and Tartarus. He goes to preach the gospel to the fallen angels bound in chains. The analog to that is there will be three days of darkness, gross darkness that you can feel, that coincides with the rapture.
Halloween is October 31st, it is followed by All Saints day, and then the Day of the Dead. These are commemorating the three days of darkness. Halloween is a dress rehearsal for when the fallen angels will be cast to the earth at the same time that the Manchild is caught up to heaven. The dress rehearsal proves what this day is going to be.
Now even if this day is not in the Old Testament there should be a shadow of it. Yes, there is a shadow of it.
You have both Samson and Elijah.
7. Samson pushing out the pillars is a type and shadow of the rapture. The church is the pillar and base of the truth, when it is removed in the rapture the worldly temple collapses. Samson would depict the left behind, and in their death, in their martyrdom they will have a much stronger testimony than they did during their life.
According to this type there was a great feast day to Dagon, a pagan god. Therefore we are looking for a pagan holiday for the rapture to be on.
8. Elijah knew the day he was going to be raptured. So this answers the question "will Christians know the day of the rapture". According to the type and shadow of Elijah the answer is yes. However, not all Christians, only those who are raptured. And certainly not people in the world. However, the prophets of God also knew because this fits with Gods word that He will do nothing without telling His holy prophets before hand. Also Elisha knew, Elisha represents the left behind saints. Jesus said if after putting your hand to the plow you turn back concerned about your family and other concerns you are not worthy. Elisha did that, hence he was not ready for the rapture and he needed a repentance. Elijah told him that if he truly had repented he would be there when Elijah is taken up and then he would get a double portion of the spirit for the tribulation saints.
So yes, some Christians will know, most will not and for the world it will be a total surprise. That said the evidence pointing to Halloween is Biblical. This is not based on some dream, it is based on Jesus' word, Paul's word, and the types and shadows and prophecies in the Bible.
BTW, Halloween is thought to also be the day of the flood, so this is also one of the days of Noah, the most important one.
