Note: If these are the 3 raptures, then it suggest that the rapture to close the church age will be in the spring, not the fall.

Exd 23:15-17 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:) And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

OT saints in Rapture #1: April/May. Feast of unleavened bread (following passover) -  Occurs at the start of the church age with the resurrection of many OT saints along with the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Mat 27:53 "And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many."

NT saints in Rapture #2: April/May. The harvest of firstfruits, being the rapture of the NT saints (the Church) occurring at the end of the Church age. Rom 8:23 "And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body." Jam 1:18 "Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures."

Tribulation saints in Rapture #3: Sept. The ingathering - The rapture of Tribulation saints. Mar 13:27 "And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven."

...Maybe? Any thoughts?
