I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do my taxes this year but the timing doesn't seem to be working out.  Oh well!  Anyway Gary I would like to address the possibility of a Passover Rapture.  Of course I could be wrong but I think that Passover's shadow was already fulfilled by the Crucifixion.  Also Unleavoned Bread was fulfilled by our Lord being in the ground for 72 hours.  I remember last year nobody was really sure of what feast day fell when because of abib, jewish reckoning, etc. 

 

This year is different with First Fruits, Easter and Resurrection Day all falling together.  Passover starts Wednesday evening, Jerusalem time, which is perfect for a First Fruits Resurrection 72 hours later - Saturday evening.  If this is the year of our departure then we'll hear of the dead in Christ rising on that day.  They're first.  We come next but I don't think that its the same day.

 

We'll have 40 days to wake up the sleepy heads for it was 40 days after First Fruits that Yeshua ascended into heaven.  And it was 50 days after First Fruits that Pentecost was celebrated with the Holy Spirit descending upon the Apostles, etc. Perhaps it is Pentecost when the 2 witnesses (whover they are) and the 144,000 are commissioned.

"Passover Rapture - April 2006"

thanks to M Howard for her wonderful article on 22 Reasons for a Passover Rapture. She gave many good reasons for us to expect our rapture flight next month over the Hebrew Passover Festival in April 2006. And we have seen many other articles this past month that all give very good reasons why both our rapture flight and God's Tribulation Judgements will both happen this April
 
so i think it is safe to say that it is time to start packing your rapture bags for our rapture flight into Heaven, where we will right away be taken to the Bema Judgement Seat of Christ for a review of our lives and receive God's Rewards for our service to Him
 
the only thing you will be able to pack in your rapture bag is what you did with all the time, talents and resources that God gave you to serve Him with, so the question is  - did you spend your life on yourself or in serving God ?
 
you still have 4-5 weeks left to make an Eternal difference for the Kingdom of God, go share Jesus with a co-worker, pass out salvation tracts, give a meal to a homeless person, use whatever gifts God has given you and go make one last eternal difference for Jesus
 
make your last month on earth one that you served Jesus with, cause we truly have just one month left on this planet before our rapture flight out of here,  so go win one more for Jesus - and then hear Him say : well done thy good and faithful servant !!!
