Dear John,

Then the groom takes his bride away to their new home for 7 days of rejoicing.  

This 7-day period of rejoicing parallels the 7 years we will spend in heaven between

the rapture and our return with Jesus to the earth for the final battle.

 

To my understanding according to Jewish tradition the bridegroom comes to fetch His Bride

at the END of the 7 days (7 years) at an unexpected moment.

 

Furthermore: Jacobs trouble is including the church.

 

Romans 10:12  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek:

for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 

 

God bless you in your ministry.

Caspar.
