THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET

-------Hi Tom and the doves:
> > The apostle Paul in 1Cor. 15:52, does NOT use the same language, NOR does he mention the "voice of the archangel," nor the "shout of Christ," but he only mentions the "Last trump." Why?
The archangel Michael has a part in both Raptures, the Pre-Trib Rapture (the first 'trump of God,' I Thess. 4:13-18) and the Pre-Wrath Rapture (the 'last trump' of God, I Cor. 15:51,52). The voice of the archangel Michael at "the last trump" ties in with Dan. 11:45-12:2 and the last Rapture.
It says, "he (the False Prophet) shall come to his end (on the 2300th day of the Tribulation, Dan. 8:13,14), and none shall help him. And at that time (Tishri 1, end of shortened Tribulation, day 2300) shall MICHAEL stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time (time of Jacob's trouble, the 2300th day): and at that time (2300th day) thy people (Israel) shall be delivered (malat, to be escaped, i.e.,at the Pre-Wrath Rapture), every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake".
Joel 2:31,32 says, "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood (6th seal, Rev. 6:12), before the great and terrible day of the LORD come (Rev. 6:17). And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered (malat, be escaped, i.e., be raptured)".
> > In other words, the "Church is already sitting on thrones" when John hears the words "Come up here," and is caught up in the Spirit.
I think the Church hears the "Come up hither,", then John and the other 23 elders (12 patriarchs and 12 apostles) receive their crowns and thrones. "And out of the throne (God's) proceeded lightnings and THUNDERINGS and voices" (Rev. 4:5). There is thunder at both Raptures (Rev. 10:3).
> > interesting that In Rev. 1:10 Johns says: "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day,...etc."
> > Many have speculated as to what "The Lord's day" means. Does it mean the First day of the week, which is Sunday, or does it mean "The day of the Lord," which begins immediately following the Rapture of the Church.I think Rev. 1:10 means that John BECAME in the Spirit on the Lord's day. It now looks to me like "the Lord's day" in Rev. 1:10 does mean Sunday. Sivan 3, 5764 is Sunday, May 23, 2004. The type was played out at Mt. Sinai, when the Lord came down on the third day (Sivan 3). In Ex. 19:10,11, "the LORD said unto Moses (saved by water), Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day (Sivan 1) and to morrow (Sivan 2), and let them wash their clothes (we need white robes of righteousness), And BE READY against the THIRD DAY (Sivan 3): for the third day (Sivan 3, i.e., Sunday, May 23, 2004?) the LORD will come down".
The Day of the LORD begins on the 2300th day of the shortened Tribulation. It is the Day of God's Wrath. Joel 1:15 says, "Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come." In Mal. 4:5, the LORD said, "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD." Elijah will prophesy during the first 1260 days of the Tribulation. Therefore, the Day of the LORD does not start at the Pre-Trib Rapture. Elijah returns to Earth at that time to begin his Tribulation ministry.
> > 1. The first day of the Week, Sunday ( The Lord's Day ) May 30th. 2. Pentecost / Rapture Sunday, May 30th, the beginning of the (Day of the Lord).
If the Tribulation starts on Pentecost, the 2300 days will not fall on Tishri 1, the Day of God's Wrath. To end on Tishri 1, 5771 (Sept. 9, 2010), the 2300 would begin on Sivan 3 (Sunday, May 3, 2004). This is the day that the LORD came down on Mt. Sinai.
"In the third month (chodesh, new moon; i.e., Sivan 1)...the same day came they unto the wilderness of Sinai." I think Sinai is from the Sanskrit Sani, Saturn. If so, THE SAME DAY we would come to Heaven, which I think is Saturn, would be Sivan 3.
We need to wash our robes in the blood of Christ, i.e., confess our sins so God can cleanse us from all unrighteousness (I John 1:9), for Sivan 3 begins at 6 PM tonight. We want to be perfect in God's sight when the Rapture takes place. Luke 21:36 says, "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."
