"The Rapture Related
to Jacob's 2 Marriages"
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.
