"7th day of Feast of
Tabernacles"
1st Corinthians 15:52
"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last (Eschatos)
trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
John 7:37
"In the last (Eschatos) day, that great [day] of the feast,
Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come
unto me, and drink."
Notice...
The word for "last" in terms of the "last trump" in 1st
Corinthians 15:52 is the SAME EXACT word for "last" in terms of
the "last day" in John 7:37 which is in reference to the 7th day
of Tabernacles!
So, according to the Greek word study of these two passages...
The "Escatos" trump will be blown on the "Eschatos" day...The
7th day of Tabernacles!!!
To clarify, there are only TWO Greek words for "last" in the New
Testament and they are "Eschatos" and "Hysteros". The word
Hysteros simply means "afterward, coming after, after this, or
later" This word has no prophetic meaning whatsoever but rather
is just a word signifying next in line in an order of events
happening one after another.
Only the word "Eschatos" has any mysterious or major prophetic
meaning attached to it's meaning, which is why it is the word
used to identify the "trump of God". Is it a coincidence that
the rapture trumpet or blast of God's voice uses the very same
word that the Holy Spirit inspired to identify the FINAL DAY OF
TABERNACLES?
Hardly!
What is this saying?
I believe it is a clear prophetic message hidden in plain sight
that the "LAST" or "ESCHATOS" trump will be blown on the "LAST"
or "ESCHATOS" day of Tabernacles, the 7th day!
The 7th day of Tabernacles is the ONLY specified day in
scripture that is identified by the word "ESCHATOS", which just
so happens to be the same word used to describe the trump of
God!
Not only does the exquisite Greek New Testament scripture
connect the last trump to the 7th day of Tabernacles, the
ancient Jewish wedding clearly depicts the 7th day of
Tabernacles as the time the bride enters the heavenly Huppah,
the rapture!
There are TWO main sections to the ancient Jewish wedding...
The Erusin & Nisuin
The Erusin: Meaning Betrothal or SANCTIFICATION
The Nisuin: Meaning Marriage or WEDDING
When the bride and groom have reached the Huppah [marriage
canopy], the erusin ceremony begins, meaning the Erusin must
take place first in preparation for the coming marriage
consummation in the marriage or wedding canopy. The Erusin of
the ancient Jewish wedding would consists of:
1.) The groom would pay a price of his bridegroom A.K.A the
"bridal price"!
2.) The groom and bride would share a cup of wine together!
3.) The groom would give gifts to his bride!
4.) The marriage contract would be agreed upon and kept by the
bride until the consummation of the marriage, the wedding!
5.) The groom would return to his father's house to prepare a
place for his bride upon his return!
These 5 steps are the meat of the ancient Jewish wedding Erusin
section of the wedding, or the BETROTHAL, meaning SANCTIFICATION
IN HEBREW!
These ancient Jewish wedding Betrothal steps align PERFECT with
the relationship between Jesus and his bride, the church
according to the scripture. Since the Betrothal is called the
sanctification, this means the Erusin section of the wedding
process is to "SANCTIFY" the bride in preparation for there
coming wedding under the Huppah.
The scripture confirms the Erusin has ALREADY taken place
between Jesus Christ and his bride, see...
1.) Jesus, the groom, paid the bridal price with his own blood
on the cross making the church "bought with a great price".
(BRIDAL PRICE PAID).
2.) Jesus, the groom, share the cup of wine his disciples (early
church bride) at the last supper!
3.) Jesus, the groom, has given gifts unto his bride, the "gifts
of the spirit"!
4.) The bride, the church, has agreed to the marriage contract
between the two, which is the WORD OF GOD!
5.) Jesus, the groom, has left to go "prepare a place for us"
and will return to consummate the marriage in heaven.
Now, remember, the Erusin (5 steps above) made us BETROTHED to
Christ, thus SANCTIFIED to him. Now, the incredible part is that
the Erusin ceremony or SANCTIFICATION of the bride was initiated
during the season of Passover/Unleavened Bread with his DEATH
(bridal price) and the sharing of the cup of wine with the
disciples. It just so happens the Passover/Unleavened Bread
season is symbolic of SANCTIFICATION!!!
The meaning of the unleavened bread, as can be clearly seen in
1Corinthians 5:6-8, relates to getting the sin out of one’s
life; i.e., sanctification, or BETROTHAL IN HEBREW, thus the
Erusin!
The feast of Unleavened Bread is a symbol of us being SANCTIFIED
or "SET APART" with Christ from the world, thus enabling us to
be officially betrothed to Christ, thus completing the Erusin
ceremony between Jesus and his bride. The feast of Pentecost is
symbolic of the OFFICIAL betrothal or engagement of Jesus and
the church. Just like natural Israel became SANCTIFIED or SET
APART from Egypt during the feast of Unleavened Bread, in
preparation of their betrothal to God on Pentecost....
...The church (spiritual Israel) were spiritually SET APART and
SANCTIFIED unto Christ during the feast of Unleavened Bread in
preparation of our betrothal to Christ, which is symbolized by
the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. Israel became
betrothed to God at Mount Sinai when the LAW was given to them
on stone tablets. In like manner, the church was officially
betrothed to Jesus on Pentecost, after being spiritually
prepared (sanctified) during Passover/Unleavened Bread.
The law became "written on our hearts" as to on stone tablets.
The PHYSICAL SANCTIFICATION (setting apart) of Israel during
Passover/Unleavened Bread was rehearsal to the SPIRITUAL
SANCTIFICATION (setting apart) of the church during
Passover/Unleavened Bread!
The BETROTHAL or ENGAGEMENT of Israel to God on Pentecost with
the giving of the LAW on stone after being prepared during
Passover was a rehearsal to the betrothal between Jesus and his
church on Pentecost, with the "writing of the law on our hearts"
after being prepared during Passover!
The feast of Passover/Unleavened are a symbol of SANCTIFICATION
or in terms of the ancient Jewish wedding, the ERUSIN or
betrothal preparation.
The feast of Pentecost is a symbol of the official betrothal or
engagement or in terms of the ancient Jewish wedding, the
completion of the betrothal ceremony!!!
If you notice, these feasts days are Unleavened Bread and
Pentecost thus far...Which are 2 of the 3 harvest festivals of
God. What is the third one?
Let me not get ahead of myself...
So, the 1st section of the ancient Jewish wedding or the Erusin
ceremony was prophetically fulfilled in relation to Christ and
his church on the feast of Unleavened Bread and Pentecost!
Since the rapture is a "type of harvest" and there are ONLY 3
harvest festivals of God, the rapture (harvest of believers)
must take place on one of these 3 feasts!
The Nisuin (final part of the ancient Jewish wedding) literally
means "marriage ceremony or wedding" and comes from the word
meaning "ELEVATION" and COMPLETES the process of marriage! Even
though the chatan and kallah are legally bound to each other as
husband and wife at the completion of the eursin (THE CHURCH AGE
BEGINNING TO NOW), the wedding ceremony is not yet complete.
This is when the husband brings the wife into his home he
prepared and they begin their married life together!!
The word Nisuin can also mean "Huppah", which is where the groom
comes and take the bride to.
Our Huppah will be a HEAVENLY ONE
This ceremony begins with the bride entering into the Huppah
with her beloved and ends when they come out for the people to
see. Now, since rapture or harvesting of believers must occur on
a "harvest festival of God" (common sense huh!)...
...And the first two harvest festivals (Unleavened Bread and
Pentecost) were fulfilled with the Erusin or our betrothal to
Christ...
This means the Nisuin or Huppah ceremony must take place during
the feast of Tabernacles, the feast of IN-GATHERING!
The four months separating the last fulfilled harvest festival
for the church (Pentecost), and the last harvesting festival of
Tabernacles is symbolic of the time the groom is preparing a
place for her and refreshing herself with the marriage contract
(Word of God), A.K.A, the church age!!!
The Huppah was a tapestry with four poles on on the four
corners, which is EXACTLY what a Tabernacle or tent looks like.
Actually, Tabernacles were DECORATED to be used as a WEDDING
HUPPAH! The Nisuin ceremony or "home taking" as what some call
it took place under a Sukkah, or Tabernacle!
The feast of Tabernacles is a clear depiction of the groom and
bride entering into their heavenly chambers to consummate the
wedding, which is the feast of IN-GATHERING! What day of
Tabernacles?
Well, check this out...
There is another Jewish tradition that is confirmed in the word
of God which is on the day the groom and bride enter the Huppah,
the bride would IN-CIRCLE her groom "7 times" around the wedding
altar!
Jeremiah 31:22
"For the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman
shall compass (CIRCLE) a man."
WoW
Well, during the feast of Tabernacles, the people would circle
the great altar once a day for the first 6 days, but on the 7th
and FINAL DAY, they would CIRCLE THE GREAT ALTAR 7 times! Well,
it just so happens that in the ancient Jewish wedding, the bride
would CIRCLE the groom 7 times around the wedding altar!
When will this ancient Jewish tradition (and God's command) be
fulfilled with Christ and the church? It will be fulfilled on
the 7th day of Tabernacles, which is the only day the people
would CIRCLE the altar 7 times....
In line with the ancient Jewish wedding ceremony of the
Nisuin!!!
So...
Passover/Unleavened/Pentecost - TWO HARVEST FESTIVALS OF GOD
FULFILLED THE ERUISN!
Feast of Tabernacles - LAST HARVEST FESTIVAL OF GOD FULFILLS THE
NISUIN, the elevating of the church under the Huppah with our
groom...On the LAST (ESCHATOS) day of Tabernacles, at the LAST
(ESCHATOS) trump!!!!
The only day that fulfills the ancient Jewish wedding ceremony
of the Nisun in the 7th day of Tabernacles called Hoshanah
Rabba, the day of our "GREAT SALVATION", the same day Jesus
cried out with a loud voice ...
This day is October 7th, 2012!
The final and clear confirmation --- 7th day of Tabernacles
Rapture – “Hoshannah Rabba”
The Lord just revealed this to me tonight and it blew my mind!
We know during the 7th day of Tabernacles, the priests would
“circle” the great altar 7 times. They would circle it once a
day for the first 6 days, then on the 7th day, they would circle
it 7 times. The scripture teaches that God “made a new thing in
the Earth, that a Woman should compass (circle) a Man”. This
command was directly connected to the Jewish Nisuin service in
which the bride was taken to the Huppah and there she began to
encirlce her groom 7 times!
Now, here is the revelation…
First off, we know that when we are raptured, we appear before
the judgment seat of Christ for rewards. The word seat is the
greek word “Bema” meaning “raised platform” where the judge
would sit! When will this ceremony of the bema seat take place?
It is revealed in his ancient people of Israel for “God declares
the end from the beginning”…
Now, on the 7th day of Tabernacles, or “Hoshannah Rabba”, the
priesthood would…
“Include circling the Bima (platform) seven times, lulav and
etrog in hand.”
http://www.aish.com/h/su/wt4s/48971456.html
“A bimah is the elevated area or platform in a Jewish synagogue
which is intended to serve the place where the person reading
aloud from the Torah stands during the Torah reading service.”
“While the original meaning of the word referred to the
platform, the table from which the Torah scroll is read can also
be referred to as the bimah”
This Hebrew PLATFORM in the center of the Jewish synagouge
called the “Bimah” is typically elevated by two or three steps…
This platform, if you not got it yet, is the New Testament “BEMA
SEAT PLATFORM” that Christ will sit on during the BEMA SEAT
JUDGEMENT!!!
Remember the greek word “bema” literally means RAISED PLATFORM
and the Hebrew platform from which the scrolls were read in the
temple was a RAISED PLATFORM!!!!!! This raised platform is used
as a “reading” platform for holy books!
The ark is opened and one of the congregants removes a Torah
scroll and holds it at the bima (raised platform)…
One of the congregants reminds me of “Who is worthy to open the
scrolls”….ONE….The lamb who was slain!
At the morning service of Hoshana Rabba, the 7th day of
Tabernacles, the men carry their lulavs and and circle the bima
seven times!!!
The Bema seat judgment of Christ is CLEARLY PICTURED by the
Hoshannah Rabba service or the 7th day of Tabernacles, where the
priesthood would CIRLCE THE BIMA PLATFORM WHERE CHRIST SITS 7
TIMES while ONE congregant would OPEN THE SCROLL. Who is worthy
to OPEN THE SCROLL? ONE!!!
On this day, ALL of the Torah scrolls were taken OUT OF THE ARK,
and READ BY ONE WHO WAS WORTHY ON THE RAISED PLATFORM (BIMA or
BEMA IN THE GREEK) while the priesthood circles the RAISED OR
ELEVATED PLATFORM 7 times!!!
This is BEYOND symbolic of the day that the church (holy
priesthood) circles the Bema Seat or RAISED platform 7 times
like in the beginning of the Jewish wedding, while the ONE
CONGREGANT WHO IS WORTHY (JESUS) will OPEN THE ARK OF THE
COVENANT (7th day of Tabernacles) is only day this occurs…
This Bima table or raised platform will be used to read from the
scrolls on when Jesus “opens the scrolls and breaks the
seals”…while the bride en-circles him 7 times, during the BEMA
SEAT JUDGMENT!!!
Also, the “BIMA” comes from beema, meaning “altar”
Well, if they circles the BIMA PLATFORM on Hoshanah Rabba 7
times…They are literally CIRCLING THE ALTAR 7 times and on the
7th day of Tabernacles…
That is exactly what they did on the 7th day, CIRCLE THE GREAT
ALTAR 7 times, which prophetically speaking, is the BEMA SEAT
JUDGMENT OF CHRIST, where Jesus will bear the ARK OF THE
COVENANT, OPEN IT and take the scrolls from it and begin
BREAKING the SEALS!...While we the church en-CIRCLE HIM 7
times!!!
Bottom line, this is CLEAR symbolism and inspired Jewish
tradition that isolates the Bema seat judgment of Christ and the
breaking of the seals by removing the scrolls from the ark (ONLY
DONE ON HOSHANAH RABBA by the way)...and the circling of the
groom (which will be AT THE GREAT ALTAR, the BEMA SEAT PLATFORM)
7 times…Because the priesthood would circle the GREAT ALTAR or
the BIMA SEAT while ONE PERSON opens the ark and takes out the
SCROLLS…
All this on the “day of IN-GATHERING”…The 7th day, which is
October 6th/ 7th, 2012!!!
Praise the Lord, see you then!!!
See you in the air!!
