"RE:
Steve Mullin, The Rapture Related to Jacob's 2 Marriages"

Dear Steve & Fellow Watchers:
That makes perfect sense and explains the 2nd Coming at
Rosh Hashanah.
Thanks,

The
more I think about how the Bible is filled with "types" of
Christ's story, the more I believe that Jacob's story will
have relevance in these last days. I do believe in
dispensationalism--it is consistent throughout the Bible.
God works with one group or the other at different times. So
Jacob works for Laban for 7 years (a popular number in these
last days) and believes he is going to marry Rachel, the one
he loves, but instead he is given Leah. God makes it clear
in scripture that He has given salvation to the gentiles in
order to provoke the Jews to jealousy. The Bible says the
gentiles were "grafted in". Jesus says, "To the Jew
first..". To me, that says, His first choice Rachel will
have to wait, but he will first marry Leah. Scripture also
says that a feast was held at the marriage of Leah, similar
to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. After the time of
Jacob's trouble which is also equal to a "bridal week of
years", according to scripture, I believe Jesus will then
possibly marry the Jews who are equivalent to Rachel to
complete the body of Christ. So in summary, there may be 2
marriages and also 2 raptures (not counting the rapture of
the 2 witnesses) in my humble opinion.
