"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.
