"Day of Atonement Rapture?""Re: Randy & Sept 23 / Yom Kippur rapture" Hi:
> > With regard to the above post about a possible rapture on the Day of Atonement, Sept 23, 2015. Since the Year of Jubilee is not announced until the Day of Atonement, the Sound of the Trumpet to proclaim the Year of Jubilee does not happen until the Day of Atonement. So might THIS be THE LAST Trumpet Blast referenced in the rapture scriptures?I’m excited. My recent Bible studies have turned up some new things concerning the timing of the two Raptures. It looks like the Lord planned for the First-Trump Rapture to take place in the Jubilee Year, but not on the Day of Atonement.Isaiah 18:3f and Song of Solomon 2:10f suggest the time of the firstripe grapes for the first Rapture. Isa 18:5 says, “afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower”. That fits Pentecost. Jesus came to the Church on Pentecost in 30 AD, and it looks like he will come to the Church again on Pentecost in 2016 (Sunday, June 12, Sivan 6, 5776).BOTH RAPTURES ARE AT THE TIME OF GRAPES, THE FIRST IS “AFORE THE HARVEST”Isa 18:3-7 says, “All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign (i.e., the UN flag) on the mountains (i.e., kingdoms); and when he (i.e., the Lord) bloweth a trumpet (i.e., on a feast day), hear ye. 4 For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider (nabat, behold with pleasure) in my dwelling place (i.e., heaven) like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. 5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower (i.e., in the spring, therefore at Pentecost), he shall both cut off the sprigs (i.e., with first-ripe grapes) with pruning hooks, and TAKE AWAY (i.e., in the First-Trump Rapture) and cut down the branches (i.e., branches with no fruit). 6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall SUMMER upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall WINTER upon them. 7 In that time (i.e., SPRING) shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place (i.e., heaven) of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.”THE SECRET OF THE STAIRS, “ARISE MY LOVE” WHEN “THE VINES WITH THE TENDER GRAPE GIVE A GOOD SMELL”Song of Solomon 2:10-17 says, “My beloved (i.e., Christ) spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away (i.e., in the First-Trump Rapture). 11 For, lo, the winter is past (i.e., it is spring), the rain (i.e., of Nisan) is over and gone; 12 The flowers appear on the earth (i.e., April showers bring May flowers); the time of the singing of birds is come (i.e., it is spring), and the voice of the turtle (lit., turtledove) is heard in our land (i.e., they come in April and leave in October); 13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. 14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places (i.e., places is not in the original) of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. 15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for OUR VINES HAVE TENDER GRAPES. 16 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies (i.e., Israel’s Madonna Lilies start to bloom in May). 17 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains (i.e., plural) of Bether (meaning separation, i.e., suggesting the two Raptures).”Son_7:12 says, “Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, WHETHER THE TENDER GRAPE APPEAR, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.”Num 13:17-20 says, “Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain: 18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; 19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds; 20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now THE TIME WAS THE TIME OF THE FIRSTRIPE GRAPES.”Jesus came to the true Church on Pentecost Sunday in 30 AD. It looks like he will come again to the true Church on Pentecost at the time of the First-Trump Rapture, the time of firstripe grapes, Sivan 6, 5776, Sunday, June 12, 2016, in the Jubilee Year that starts Nisan 1, 5776, Sat. April 9, 2016.SUNDAY FITSIn the Preview of the Rapture, Rev 1:9-11 says, “I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos (i.e., meaning mortal), for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was (lit., became) in the Spirit on the Lord's day (i.e., Sunday), and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last”.IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE ALREADY IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE TRIBULATION SO THERE IS NO PRE-TRIB RAPTUREIt doesn’t look like Jesus promised us a Pre-Trib Rapture, as I used to think. He plainly said, “In the world YE SHALL HAVE TRIBULATION: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (Joh 16:33).Act 14:22 says, “we must through much TRIBULATION enter into the kingdom of God.”Rev 3:10 says, “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation (peirasmos, trial, i.e., the temptation to take the Mark of the Beast in the Great Tribulation), which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”It looks like the Tribulation started 3-19-2013, the day the Pope was elected. That date plus the 42 months of Rev. 13:5,6 would put Mid-Trib on Elul 16, 5776, Monday, Sept. 19, 2016. I figure we have to be out of here in the spring before the False Prophet comes to power Mid-Trib.Rev 13:1-4 says, “And I stood upon the sand of the sea (i.e., nations, Rev 17:15), and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads (i.e., Babel, Babylon II, Media-Persia, Greece, the Holy Roman Empire, the Ecclesiastical Holy Roman Empire, and Babylon III) and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy (i.e., Pontifex Maximus, started by Nimrod and assumed by all the other kings). 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard (i.e., Greece, Dan. 7:6), and his feet were as the feet of a bear (i.e., Greece, Dan. 7:5), and his mouth as the mouth of a lion (i.e., Babylon II, Dan 7:4): and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat (thronos, throne), and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads (i.e., Antichrist) as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?”Rev 13:5-9 says, “And there was given unto him (i.e., the beast, the Antichrist) a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven (i.e., the saints of the First-Trump Rapture that are in heaven before the False Prophet is revealed). 7 And it was given unto him (i.e., the Antichrist) to make war with the saints (i.e., the foolish virgins, the Laodicean Church that is left behind at the first Rapture), and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations (i.e., after the First-Trump Rapture has taken place). 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.”
> > This is also when the pope is scheduled to address the United Nations for the first time in history, assuming his proper place as False Prophet?How about the first beast, the Antichrist? Keep in mind that the number 13 means rebellion and lawlessness.THINGS POPE FRANCIS, CHOSEN 3-13-13, ANNOUNCED AT 8:13 PM, AND NAMED AFTER A 13TH CENTURY SAINT, HAS SAIDPope Francis was elected exactly 13 days after his predecessor resigned.Pope Francis said, “Our Christian identity is belonging to a people: the Church. Without this, we are not Christians. We entered the Church through baptism: there we are Christians.“We must meet one another doing good." To those who say, “But I don't believe, Father, I am an atheist!," the pope said, "But do good: We will meet one another there."
He said, “The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists.”
Not a word about John 3:16 or Rom 10:9. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Rom 10:9 says, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
The Pope believes that Muslims pray to and worship the “one God” that he also worships.
He said, “Koran And Holy Bible Are The Same.”
He said, "All religions are true, because they are true in the hearts of all those who believe in them. What other kind of truth is there?"
In a Marian Day celebration, he consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary at an October 13, 2013 Mass in St. Peter’s Square.He said, “When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so. He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfillment.”HERE IS THE BOMBSHELL. He said, "Through humility, soul searching, and prayerful contemplation we have gained a new understanding of certain dogmas. THE CHURCH NO LONGER BELIEVES IN A LITERAL HELL WHERE PEOPLE SUFFER."
THE BIBLE SHOWS THAT THERE IS A HELL
Rev_1:18 says, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of HELL and of death.”Rev_20:14 says, “And death and HELL were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.”Mar_9:45 says, “And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into HELL, into the fire that never shall be quenched”.THE TWO RAPTURES BRACKET THE GREAT TRIBULATIONIt looks like the First-Trump Rapture will come just before Mid-Trib, and the Last-Trump Rapture will come on the Day of the Lord, which is also the Day of God’s Wrath, at the end of the shortened Great Tribulation.Act 14:22 says, “we must through much TRIBULATION enter into the kingdom of God.”Psa 27:5 says, “For IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle (i.e., the Holy of Holies represented the third heaven, Saturn) shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.”It looks like the First-Trump Rapture will be on Pentecost, the time of firstripe grapes, and the Last-Trump Rapture will be on Trumpets, the last of the grape harvest. Immediately after that, the fully ripe grapes are cast into the “great winepress of the wrath of God” (Rev. 14:19).THE FIRST-TRUMP RAPTURE IS “WITH THE TRUMP OF GOD”1Th 4:13-18 says, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (phthano, precede) them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL (i.e., MICHAEL, MID-TRIB), AND WITH THE TRUMP OF GOD: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”Rev 12:6-12 says, “And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 7 And there was war in heaven (i.e., at Mid-Trib): MICHAEL and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now (i.e., Mid-Trib) is come salvation (soteria, rescue, i.e., the FIRST-TRUMP RAPTURE), and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time (i.e., the shortened Great Tribulation).”THE LAST-TRUMP RAPTURE IS “AT THE LAST TRUMP” SOUNDED BY AN ANGEL1Co 15:51-54 says, “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, AT THE LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption (i.e., at either Rapture), and this mortal shall have put on immortality (i.e., only at the last Rapture), then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”Rev 11:15-19 says, “And THE SEVENTH ANGEL SOUNDED; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 18 And the nations were angry, and THY WRATH IS COME, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. 19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”Dan 12:1,2 says, “And at that time (i.e., Mid-Trib) shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there SHALL BE (i.e., after Mid-Trib) A TIME OF TROUBLE, SUCH AS NEVER WAS SINCE THERE WAS A NATION even to that same time: and at that time (i.e., the Day of the Lord at the end of the Great Tribulation) thy people shall be delivered (malat, escape, leap out, i.e., be Raptured), every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.”THE TWO RAPTURES BRACKET THE GRAPE HARVEST, JUNE TO SEPTEMBERTherefore, they seem likely on Pentecost and at the seventh trumpet sounded by an angel on the Feast of Trumpets.> > "And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month [i.e., on the Day of Atonement]... And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine." Leviticus 25:8-11It looks like the Jubilee is announced on the previous Day of Atonement to keep them from sowing grain that they couldn’t reap the next spring, but the Jubilee starts on the following Nisan 1, the first day of the Sacred Year. No year starts on the 10th day of the 7th month. The upcoming Jubilee Year, Sacred Year and Regnal Year will all start on Nisan 1, 5776, Sat. April 9, 2016.They were not to reap grapes from their undressed vines. That just might be because those that accept Jesus as their Saviour will be caught up in the First-Trump Rapture at the time of the first ripe grapes on Pentecost, Sivan 6, 5776, Sun. June 12, 2016. The time of the first ripe grapes starts June 1st.Keep in mind that the Israelites went up and searched the land of the giants at the time of the first ripe grapes. That prefigured our going up into Heaven at the time of the first ripe grapes. Giants were in the land, and giant angels are in Heaven until they are cast out Mid-Trib.Both Raptures seem to be related to the grape harvest. The firstripe grape harvest starts in June, and the end of the grape harvest takes place in September. Therefore, the First-Trump Rapture may be on Pentecost, and the Last-Trump Rapture may be on the Feast of Trumpets.Rev. 14 starts out with the Last-Trump Rapture, when only the 144,000 can sing the new song. It ends with the winepress of the wrath of God. Even the winepress has to do with the grape harvest.Rev 14:4,5 says, “These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God....Rev 14:7-10 says, “...with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: 8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen...9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God...Rev 14:15-18 says, “And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. 17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.”Rev 14:19 says, “And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.”THE FIRST-TRUMP RAPTURE, THE TIME OF THE FIRST RIPE GRAPES, THE JUBILE YEAR AND “YE SHALL RETURN EVERY MAN UNTO HIS FAMILY”, MAY ALL BE MORE CONNECTED THAN I REALIZEDLook at Lev 25:8-13. It says, “And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. 9 Then (i.e., in the 49th year, as in this year 5775) shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile (teruah, joy) to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. 10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year (i.e., the next Sacred year, which starts Nisan 1, 5776, Sat. April 9, 2016), and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and YE SHALL RETURN EVERY MAN UNTO HIS FAMILY. 11 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. 12 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. 13 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.”They went up and searched the land of the giants at the time of the first ripe grapes. That ties in with Michael casting Satan out of Heaven Mid-Trib.Num 13:20-22 says, “And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes. 21 So they went up, and searched the land...22 And they ascended by the south”...“YE SHALL RETURN EVERY MAN UNTO HIS FAMILY” COULD HAVE A MORE FAR-REACHING MEANING THAN IS COMMONLY UNDERSTOODMy husband is in his celestial body now. I know what it looks like for he visited me briefly about three months after he died. I asked him if he was 30 or 33. He said, “33.” He was 87 when he died.At the time of the First-Trump Rapture, he will RETURN UNTO HIS FAMILY, i.e., he will come back with Christ, get his resurrection body, then we will be caught up together with the Lord in the air.1Th 4:13-18 says, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (phthano, precede) them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”Before my husband died, our son David had a dream in which he and I were going up in the air in the Rapture. He said that there was no sensation of cold or wind. At first, I thought he meant that the three of us went up together, but he explained that it was just he and I, so we will meet Ed in the air. That agrees with the Bible.Agape,Marilyn Ageeprophecycorner.theforeverfamily.com-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Deborah (26 July 2015)
"Day of Atonement Rapture?"
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/july2015/garyr719-3.htm
"Re: Randy & Sept 23 / Yom Kippur rapture"
With regard to the above post about a possible rapture on the Day of Atonement, Sept 23, 2015. Since the Year of Jubilee is not announced until the Day of Atonement, the Sound of the Trumpet to proclaim the Year of Jubilee does not happen until the Day of Atonement. So might THIS be THE LAST Trumpet Blast referenced in the rapture scriptures?
"And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month [i.e., on the Day of Atonement]... And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine." Leviticus 25:8-11
"pg 262 The Mystery of the Shemitah: "The word jubilee has come to mean a time of celebration or anniversary. But in Hebrew, the word is yobel. Yobel means "Trumpet Blast." The Jubilee was heralded with sounding of the trumpet throughout the land."
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 1Thes 4:16
…51Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.…1 Cor 15:52
So THIS upcoming Day of Atonement, Sept 23, 2105 will also be the time when Jubilee Trumpet will Blast announcing the 70 Year of Jubilee since Moses has handed the Law.
It also kind of makes sense since the Jubilee refers to setting people free, as in setting captives free?
The Year of the Lord's Favor
1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners; 2To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn,…Isaiah 61:1-2
Isaiah says more that is right on point, as I personally am expecting something to happen THIS Jubilee year to permit Israel to finally rebuild their Temple on the Temple Mount!:
2To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, 3To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. 4Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins, They will raise up the former devastations; And they will repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations.…[And rebuild the Temple????]
5Strangers will stand and pasture your flocks, And foreigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers.…
6But you will be called the priests of the LORD; You will be spoken of as ministers of our God. You will eat the wealth of nations, And in their riches you will boast.…7Instead of your shame you will have a double portion, And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land, Everlasting joy will be theirs.… 8For I, the LORD, love justice, I hate robbery in the burnt offering; And I will faithfully give them their recompense And make an everlasting covenant with them.… 9Then their offspring will be known among the nations, And their descendants in the midst of the peoples. All who see them will recognize them Because they are the offspring whom the LORD has blessed.…10I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.…11For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up, So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise To spring up before all the nations.Isaiah 61:2-11
When Jesus quoted this passage of Isaiah, He stopped short of announcing the day of vengeance of our God. But now that passage applies because we have seen the sun turn black and the moon turn to blood, which announces dreaded Day of the Lord:
…18"THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, 19TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD." 20And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him.…Luke 4:19
30"I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke. 31"The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. 32"And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LORD Will be delivered; Joel 2:31
4And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, 5you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house fora holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6For this is contained in Scripture: "BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."…1 Peter 2:4-6
9But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.…1 Peter 2:9
"BLOW ye the TRUMPET in Zion, SOUND AN ALARM in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand" (Joel 2:1). "For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? Therefore also now, saith the LORD, TURN YE EVEN TO ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and TURN unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him . . . BLOW THE TRUMPET in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly . . ." (Joel 2:11-15). "And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turn into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE the great and the terrible DAY OF THE LORD come" ((Joel 2:30-31)."The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a DAY OF WRATH, A DAY OF TROUBLE AND DISTRESS, A DAY OF WASTENESS AND DESOLATION, A DAY OF DARKNESS AND GLOOM-INESS, A DAY OF CLOUDS AND THICK DARKNESS. A day of the TRUMPET and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the DAY OF THE LORD'S WRATH; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land" (Zephaniah 1:14-18).
I think there might be something to this speculation that the rapture may happen when the Jubilee Trumpet is sounded on the Day of Atonement, Sept 23, 2015. This IS the Favorable Year of our God.....and simultaneously marking the beginning of the 7 year tribulation period?
This is also when the pope is scheduled to address the United Nations for the first time in history, assuming his proper place as False Prophet?
