I have just finished reading a book called Heaven On Earth by Mary Ellen Gilliland and recommend it to anyone interested in knowing more about experiencing the presence of God here and now. The chapters on the rapture are especially interesting as they state the wedding feast will be a continuation of the Feast of Tabernacles celebrated here on earth.
 
Another interesting thought in this book concerns the need for our praise to God to rise up as a way to bring on the rapture as soon as possible. God expects to hear from us and wants to enjoy the feasts with us. It will be a time of great joy and celebration -- a seven-year party in dark times. He wants to hear from each of us in a personal way, at all times not just set-aside prayer times and in fixed, repetitive words.
 
He wants to hear from us as we would speak to a friend who is with us and loves us. He wants to enjoy his creation with us. He wants to bless us and know that we trust him for everything at all times. He will truly never leave us nor forsake us even in times of trouble and pain. Call on him whenever you can, he wants to hear from his beloved creation, now and forever.
