"More reasons why Shavout could be D-Day"


Dear John:
Thank you for posting my letter.
It's been well shared by Doves why the Pentecost(Shavout) could be the
Rapture day.
I like to add two more reasons.

(1) I met a messianic rabbi recently and heard a very interesting story
from him.
     According to an ancient book handed down by Levi tribe, when the LAW
was given to Moses
     at Mt.Sinai, it was declared verbally as well to all nations by all
languages. We all know that
     it was Shavout time when Moses received the LAW from God.

     And when Holy Spirit came down on the Pentecost day, it repeated that
all different languages
     were spoken.

     When Yeshua comes with a shout to receive Brides, I assume that all
the names of Rapture
     Saints shall be called in their own different languages. Hallelujah!
Therefore, by God's perfect-
     ion, I believe that the Rapture could happen on the day of Shavout.
(2) Jews consider Shavout as the feast to be married God. It is Shavout's
tradition that they recite
     the Book of Ruth in synagogue. Ruth is the symbol of Christ's bride.
When they rejected the
     Messiah, the priviledges to be bride of Messiah was given to Gentile
Church instead.
     During the Tribulation, it is believed that God will open many
people's spiritual eyes, and Jews
     will see the glory of Heaven where the brides of Yeshua enjoying all
the priviledges (which
     they supposed to have) with their God and forefather. As Apostle Paul
wrote in Romans 10:19,
     it will provoke their jealousy and anger, and ultimately they will
come to the Lord. To make
     Jews understand this truth, it's very likely that the Rapture will
happen on the day of Shavout.

One more thought why I believe that the Rapture will happen on the day when
Israel or US attacks
Iran's nuclear facilities. The blessing of rapture is given to those who
absolutely trust the words
of God and be prepared without seeing things of evidence with physical
eyes.(re:Hebrew 11:1)
Some theologians claim that the Rapture will occur when the Ezekiel 38's
invasion happens. But
it is impossible that the invasion could happen as a thief in the night. It
will take at least 2-3 months to move military forces nearby Israel's
border to invade, and the whole world will watch it
through satellite broadcasting. If you prepare after you see evidence, it's
not faith, and it's too late.
That's the difference between wise virgins and foolish virgins.
Maranatha!

In Christ,
Elliott Hong
