The connection between the FEAST OF THE LORD and the DAY OF THE LORD.

I believe that many of us AGREE that during the ROSH Hashanah, the beginning of the FALL FEAST is the time of the “snatched away/caught up period/ known as the RAPTURE of the BODY OF CHRIST ONLY.

BECAUSE it is the TIME Of the “FEAST OF THE LORD” 

I have center my focus on these FEAST DAYS, seeking to understand them better.

The more I have studied the more I find out that MANY of those that study the FEAST ie:  FOT, DOA, FOT,  have speculated that the 10 days between the FEAST OF TRUMPETS and the DAY OF ATONEMENT, may be SYMBOLIC of the 7 year tribulation, Thus believing in a PER-TRIBULATION doctrine.

Well,m like most of you,  I desire TRUTH above all else, even if that means I must REPENT of my own personal believes. 

However, I see NO real evidence that there is a PER-TRIBULATION RAPTURE in the WORD of GOD, but rather a PRE-WRATH. 

PRE-WRATH means exactly as it SAYS, BEFORE the WRATH of GOD is poured out upon the EARTH, the SAINTS meet the LORD in the air.

 The MAIN question has BEEN for MANY IS:

WHEN DOES “GOD’S” WRATH BEGIN?

I would like to offer SOME EVIDENCE that the Majority of the 7 YEARS is completed before the “caught up/snatching away/rapture”.

1 THESS 4: 18  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

The LORD says we should COMFORT each other with these WORDS, I pray that that is exactly what this will do. That you nor I would not be Mislead or found discouraged if these do not work out the way we desire them to be.

WE MUST DISCOVER FIRST.. WHEN the "DAY OF GOD"S WRATH BEGINS" 

 "THE DAY OF THE LORD"

THE TIMING of “THE DAY OF THE LORD”

1. THE SIXTH SEAL,  JOEL 2, ACTS 2  give WITNESS and TESTIMONY to the SAME EVENTS that OCCUR before the “DAY OF THE LORD”. ALLOW the SCRIPTURE to speak for themselves:

REV 6: 12  And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

JOEL 2: 3  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

ACTS 2: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

What happens during the CAUGHT UP/snatching away:

1. The “CAUGHT UP/snatching away PRECEDES the  WRATH OF GOD and SECOND COMING RETURN of JESUS CHRIST to the EARTH.

THE CAUGHT UP and the SECOND RETURN are TWO different events.

THE caught up time is when WE MEET HIM in the CLOUDS, the SECOND RETURN of CHRIST is when HE touches the ground on the MOUNT of OLIVES. The second return of CHRIST happens “DURING the WRATH/anger and cleansing period” is being poured out upon the EARTH, there is a BATTLE between the LORD, with the SAINTS during this period to RETAKE JERUSALEM. I will leave it to you to research that.

KEEP this SCRIPTURE in your MIND:

1 Thess 5: 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

WE are NOT APPOINTED TO HIS WRATH, but a SALVATION FROM THAT WRATH:

RAPTURE/caught up/transformation.

1 Thess 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:

1 THESS 4: 17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

SECOND RETURN of JESUS CHRIST UPON the EARTH:  READ more in ZEC 14 to get the clear understanding that this is DIFFERENT time.

Zec 14: 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

FOR ME, THERE a COUPLE of VERY CONVINCING PROPHETIC UNDERSTANDINGS,  in SCRIPTURE concerning the TIME of SECOND RETURN of JESUS CHRIST:

IE:  THE DAY OF THE LORD, THE JUBLIEE YEAR,  and how the 7 YEARS of TRIBULATION MUST BE COMPLETED “BEFORE”  HIS SECOND RETURN.

LET US CONSIDER SOME OF THESE:

DAN 9: 24  Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

VERY IMPORTANT KEY  70 WEEKS are “DETERMINED”, that means they have ALREADY been decided, they MUST come to COMPLETION, but before WHAT??

1. To finish TRANSGRESSION, to make a END to SIN. YOU Must ask yourself, does SIN end at the beginning of the GREAT TRIBULATION? ABSOLUTELY NOT, in fact, SIN and SATAN ABOUND during that period. SIN and TRANSGRESSION begin to come to an END AT  “THE DAY OF THE LORD”.

2. To MAKE “RECONCILIATION”.. This is the “DAY OF ATONEMENT”

3. To BRING IN “EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS”  This is the KINGDOM of the WORLD being prepared for JESUS CHRIST rule and reign.

4. TO “SEAL” up the VISION and PROPHECY, means to bring to completion of all PROPHECY and VISIONS, ALL the ABOVE THINGS MUST OCCUR FIRST.

5. TO ANOINT the MOST HOLY, To anoint our KING and LORD that will RESIDE over the EARTH in the MILLENNIUM.

SO THE IMPORTANT KEY UNDERSTANDING from these SCRIPTURES are:

***** 70 WEEKS must being completed BEFORE the “ THE DAY OF THE LORD”***

SECOND most compelling evidence.
_____________________________

I believe that the FEAST OF TRUMPET must be in or right before "the YEAR of JUBILEE".

“THAT IS THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF SALVATION”

SO WHO IS GOING TO RULE during this “ACCEPTABLE YEAR”?  OBVIOUS ANSWER "JESUS CHRIST"

IS 16: 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

LUKE 4: 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

1. JUBLIEE represnts, a DAY OF VENGENCE upon the EARTH and a RESCUE and DELIVERANCE from the WORLD for the SAINTS and the REMNANT Of ISRAEL.  IE: 2 STICKS joining.. the STICK of EPHRAIM and THE STICK of JUDAH.

2. The the GREAT TRIBULATION is a SEVEN YEARS rule and reign under SATAN’S RULE, SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, that would not REPRESENT a JUBILEE YEAR at all.

3. The WRATH Is a period of CLEANSING and purifying of the EARTH and the ORDINATION OF A KING, FREEDOM FROM THAT RULE and REIGN of satan.  THAT IS A TRUE JUBLILEE YEAR.

ALLOW me to REPEAT myself here….

70 WEEKS have been DETERMINED, not 69 weeks, but the COMPLETED 70 weeks MUST be completed “BEFORE” the END.

A JUBILEE is to be RESCUED from the WORLD and bondage.

____________________________________________________________________

So how does that affect the LIVES of the SAINTS/BODY OF CHRIST?

LET us consider some INTERESTING POINTS here from scripture:

THE DAY of the LORD and THE APPOINTED TIME OF THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS:

1. THE DAY OF THE LORD, begins at the 7^th SEAL, 1 trumpet.

REV 6: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

2. The BODY of CHRIST will meet JESUS CHRIST in the AIR, before the “DAY OF THE LORD” we are SPARED the “WRATH of the FATHER” OUR SALVATION is being SPARED from the WRATH of GOD.

1 Thess 5: 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ/

3. The BODY of CHRIST has already gone through the GREAT TRIBULATION/ 3 ½ years of satan’s rule, and the MARRIAGE SUPPER of the LAMB and are now BEFORE the THRONE. So at the VERY LEAST we know that MOST of the LAST portion of the GT is OVER.

REV 7: 14  And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation/satan's rule, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

THE REMNANT of ISRAEL during the DAY OF THE LORD:

4. THE REMNANT ISRAEL is “SEALED” from the WRATH OF GOD, before the FIRST TRUMPET is blown and 4 WINDS of WRATH are RELEASED upon the earth.

REV 7: 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Back to DAN 9:24 to help us with a KEY to understand the TIMING of this event:

AGAIN “70 WEEKS” are “DETERMINED” before the EVENT of THE DAY OF THE LORD, This EVENT can NOT occur until at LEAST MOST, if not ALL of the 7 years is completed, most of the EVENTS of the GREAT TRIBULATION, the period known as SATAN’S TIME,  are CONCLUDED at this point.

THE JUBILEE: We are NOW In the CLEANSING PHRASE of the EARTH, and the DAY OF ATONEMENT/when the BLOOD is applied to the EARTH and the great battle before the LORD and satan’s kingdom by this point.

Conclusion:

I just don't know how they get THERE? 

IT is the OPINION of this writer that those that are BELIEVERS in the PRE-TRIB rapture have NOT consider some of the MAIN SCRIPTURES pertaining to the DAY OF THE LORD and the GREAT TRIBULATION, and are going to be very discouraged and in great distress when they have not ESCAPED the GREAT TRIBULATION.

The CAUGHT up/snatched away phase is a TRANSFORMATION of the BODY of CHRIST that occurs before THE DAY of the LORD, after MOST of the Great tribulation is over.

What is the CAUGHT UP/SNATCHING away about anyway?

The BODY of CHRIST will participate in the MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB and then PROCEEDS onto a BATTLE with the LORD In ISRAEL.

*more on this later…

AN EXPLANATION of What does the scripture mean when it says:

PERHAPS this will be HELPFUL?

“AT the LAST TRUMPET”

It is my opinion, that many have confused the TRUMPET JUDGMENTS of revelations to refer to the LAST TRUMPET.

THE “LAST TRUMPET” is a reverence to the trumpet blow of the “SHOFAR”.  “The right and left horns of a ram”

The Feast of Trumpets is when the “last trump” of the Rapture of 1 Cor. 15 is blown. 

 In Judaism, there are three trumpets that have a name. They are the first trump, the last trump, and the great trump. Each one of these trumpets indicates a specific day in the Jewish year. The first trump is blown on the Feast of Pentecost (Exodus 19:19). 

1. 1 FIRST TRUMP is related to the PENTECOST:

2. The LAST TRUMP is synonymous with Rosh HaShanah. “RAPTURE”

Matt 24: 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

MATT 24: 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other

The first and last trump relate to the two horns of the ram, which according to Jewish tradition, was the ram caught in the thicket on Mount Moriah when Abraham was ready to slay Isaac and offer him up as a burnt offering.

This ram became the substitute for Isaac even as Jesus became the substitute for us and provided life for us through His death. 

THE LAST TRUMPET is the HERALDING in of the “DAY OF THE LORD”

Rabbi Eliezer tells us in Pirkei Avot, that the left horn (first trump) was blown on Mount Sinai, and its right horn (the last trump) will be blown to herald the coming of the Lord for His Church. 

“AT THE LAST TRUMPET” has nothing to do with the 7  TRUMPETS JUDGMENTS in REVELATIONS; they are “JUDGMENT TRUMPETS” for the cleansing and purifying of the EARTH and a call to WAR and the ANNOUCMENT of the KINGS ARRIVAL.

The Feast of Trumpets, through careful study depicts nothing less than the return of Jesus Christ for His Church at the last trump, just before God pours His wrath and judgment on a sinful and Christ rejecting world 

The Feast of Trumpets is known as the Wedding of the Messiah, and the Church is the Bride of Christ, and the Rapture is when the Church is caught up to heaven to be wed with Christ. 

The Feast of Trumpets happens on the “new moon

The “Open Door” of the Rapture: the Feast of Trumpets. [Ezek 46:1] “Thus says the Lord GOD: The gate of the inner court that faces east shall be shut on the six working days; but on the sabbath day it shall be opened and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.” 

BE BLESSED, BE VERY BLESSED..

I pray that the LORD give us ALL eyes to see and that anything that is NOT of HIM in this POST will be REVEALED to me. 

Please feel free to make comments so that my understanding can be MORE COMPLETE IN HIM.

AMEN donna
