"Autumn Ingathering (Jean)"


 

I feel the same way you do.  I was on “high alert” last month during the Feast of Tabernacles and will be again this month based on the “corrected” Jewish calendar.  Tabernacles is a Jewish festival marked by great joy, harvest, ingathering, and dwelling in temporary shelters or booths.  In the book “Angels on Assignment” the angel Gabriel explains that the Feast of Tabernacles represents the return of Jesus.  That could mean either the rapture or His literal return (decent) to earth (or both)???

The above link is a post on Rapture Now that bring up some very good points on why Sukkot may be the actual time of the Jewish New Year and the time of the rapture (as opposed to the Feast of Trumpets).  Sukkot is a 7/8 day Feast and could allow us to be aware of the season of the Lord’s return without trying to peg a “day or hour”.

 

Although there are those that disagree of when the rapture happens in the book of Revelation, I believe it is shown in Revelation 7 as the great multitude waving palm branches and praising the Lord for bringing them to heaven (palms, by the way, are a significant element of Sukkot).  And then in verse 15 says that the Lord will “tabernacle” with them (Young’s Literal).  Other versions say shelter or dwell.  Could these be clues of a Sukkot celebration in heaven?  I hope so!

 

Lastly, here is a vision shared by Maurice Sklar of a vision he saw in heaven that may also match a Bridal celebration – in Sukkot style!

 

Love to all,

THE WEDDING SUPPER

About two weeks ago, early on Sunday morning as I was preparing to go to church, I had a vision. I was caught up into heaven and I saw angels all around me. They were working and making preparations for what looked like a banquet. ((((((Everything was white – white canopies, white pavilions, white gazebos, what looked like white silk instead of canvas covering massive outdoor tents with elegant plumes and sashes hanging from white poles.))))) It was clear as I looked around that there remained much more work to do.

The Lord then spoke to me and He said, “Do you know what this is?” I replied, “No Sir, but it looks like some kind of big garden party you are getting ready for.” He said, “My son, this is preparations for My Wedding Supper. All of heaven has been waiting for this day. It is almost time for Me to come for My Bride. There is great joy and celebration here in anticipation for the moment when I shall call her out of the earth.”

I was too amazed to say anything. It was so beautiful! The grass was so perfect. The flowers were blooming and the flower arrangements were being gathered from the nearby rose gardens by the angels. I had never seen such bright colors as those that were in those flowers! Everything was perfect wherever I looked. (((((There were white doves that were flying with streamers that they were wrapping around the tent poles.)))) They were in perfect symmetry as they would circle and wrap them. It reminded me of a May Day celebration that I saw once as a child, where there was a pole that was being wrapped in geometric designs by children as they circled it with their streamers. It ended up looking like a candy cane. But these were all in pastel colors of every hue of the rainbow. They were breathtaking to watch!

Then I saw the tables being brought in and placed next to each other. They stretched out under these (((((((outdoor tent pavilions as far as the eye could see.))))) As I looked closer, I could see at each place setting there was a golden rectangular nameplate. As I looked, some were intricately engraved with the names of those that were to be seated there. Some of these name plates were encrusted with jewels that sparkled and glowed like there was a bright light shining behind them. Others were just with a plain name. The tables were not fully set, but I saw that it was the most elegant party preparation that I had ever seen. It could not be compared to anything on this earth. There was great joy and excitement in the air. The angels were singing in the most awesome songs as they worked. As I listened a little closer, I thought that I could hear the words as they sang about the righteous deeds of those that were to be seated where they were working.

Then the Lord said to me, “Tell My Bride that I am coming soon! Everything is being prepared. In a little while, all sorrow, pain, sickness, poverty, and every teardrop will be wiped away.  (Princess note:  See Revelation 7:16-17!)   There is only a little longer that you must labor. You must work now while it is still time, for the darkness is soon coming upon the earth when all will be in tribulation. Stay ready and remain alert in watching and praying. I will surely come for you, just as I promised in My Word.”

Then I was back in my room again, and I got in the shower to get ready for church.
This is the account of the vision I received earlier this month.

My love to you all in Our Messiah!

Regarding Feast of the Tabernacles:
All who are native Israelites shall ((((dwell in booths,))) that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths ((((when I brought them out of the land of Egypt:))) I am the LORD your God' " (NKJV).

Some Christians have interpreted the statement about dwelling in booths to include any kind of temporary dwellings, and have therefore celebrated the feast by staying in hotels, motels, or ((((tents.))) The festival is observed on the same days that the Jews celebrate Sukkot (which is based on the same verses in the Hebrew Bible)
