"The Rapture Process, What Will It Be Like?"

 
Praise The Lord, To The Saints Of The Most High God.
 
It has just occurred to me concerning the feasts of the "LORD" Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, and 50 days from Firstfruits which brings us to Pentecost "Shavuoth," the (4th) feast day of the LORD, which we are currently living in today, "The Church Dispensation," The named  feast days, has literally been fulfilled by the substance "Jesus Christ," at the appointed time in there season's. At the present time, "many" are looking for the Trump of God to sound on "Rosh Hashanah" the next day on God's calendar "Jer. 8:20."
 
Have it occurred to any one, before we can advance to the (5th) day of the Lord, "The Blowing of Trumpets" we must complete the cycle "fullness" of the (4th) day? For example, Wednesday began at midnight and will end at midnight. Thursday begins simultaneous where Wednesday ends, well, to get right to the point, I believe we must go back to where we began, "back to Pentecost" before we can "cross over," Yes, It certainly looks like "this year" it will be a process taking place from "Firstfruits to the "Fullness of the harvest of the church age. " a good application, I see in St. John 17:12." Have you notice Lev. 23:17,20. And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a "wave offering" before the LORD. He is a God of order "Job 24:1.
 
If it is to be this year, "the rapture"??? I do believe, that we should take into consideration  "St. Mathew 25:6-12," there seems to be a "space of time" from the "midnight cry" before the door was shut, I believe, when the cry is made at midnight, "the wise virgins" who arosed and trimmed their lamps, is a type of the called, chosen, sent, and prepared saints of the most High God "Acts 2:38-39; 1st Peter 2:9." Many believe, the catching away of the saints will be an instant event, I beg the difference, we will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, but to disappear in a moment Acts 1:9; II Kings 2:11,12?
 
It wouldn't surprise me a bit, to see a replay of St. Mathew 27:52-54, "there will be a slight difference here, the dead in Christ will have "glorified bodies" this time. God is never left without a "witness, I take this to be the "midnight cry," and we, who are alive and remain will be change in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. It is very likely that many professing christians, and some of our love one's, family members, co-workers, and neighbors, and such like, may see a glimpse of the glorified saints before a cloud receive us out of there sight.
 
I don't believe everyone will see it, but some will witness the "rapture" for the record, and from what I can see in " St. Mathew 25:8-10, there seems to be a little space of time for the "foolish virgins" to plead to the "wise virgins" to intercede on there behalf knowing beforehand, that the trump of God has sounded. Could it be that the presence of the dead in Christ, who will arise first, will be the signal, that the rapture process has begun? Are these the one's "foolish virgins" who was called, but not chosen Mathew 22:14?
 
Could the "the dead in Christ," concerning the church, 1st Peter 2:9, began at the appointed time this year at firstfruits, the 3rd day? Let us bare in mind the dead in Christ shall "rise first" 1st Thess. 4:16. There is a space of time, from the sheaf of the "wave offering" firstfruits to the bread of the firstfruits for a "wave offering" before the Lord. 
 
My father often tells the saints about the vision which the Lord allowed him to see concerning the "rapture," he recalls a sudden change concerning his body, "a glorified body" and while rising from the floor, through the roof of the church with some of the saints he recognized, he said the next thing he recalls, is speaking to the trees, I quote him, "trees get out of my way" he did not disappear simultaneous as a vapor, I certainly don't want to be left behind, as this unstoppable event unfolds, trust the Lord that we all, will be counted worthy to be caught up to meet Him soon.
 
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1st Cor. 13:12.
