Renee and all the doves,
Knowing WHEN is not what's important when it comes to anticipating the rapture. Understanding the significance of the feast and therefor, the theme of those events/event to come(i.e., there types and shadow)
Sort of like a kid that keeps asking his dad "Are we there yet?Are we there yet?", in nervous anticipation of the moment of arrival. When what we should really be asking is the true nature and meaning behind the trip. Why are we going? Why are we leaving now and not later? (or sooner, for that matter.)
What is the meaning and theme of the rapture? Most people describe it as a rescue or an escape(perhaps due to references in Luke 21:36) I believe that's a misconception or perception of Christ's intentional understatement of the plan and purpose of the "catching Away".
Our Heavenly Father has been planning this one single moment for an eternity(for lack of a better time frame) and it is related to the meanings drawn out by the feast of Tabernacles and Hanukkah....this also showing that it actually will be TWO event and not just one, plus the fact that we have two types of the catching away shown in the old testament confirms these things.
So, Renee, as you say, your lack of interest in when is as pertinent to the reason God has called you to devote your heart, mind and soul to this task of understanding what?
The THEME. The theme(or meaning behind)of the Harpazo is your task, and the when should not be the primary focus...and I don't believe that has been for you. However, many of the children on board just cannot help themselves from asking...
"Are we there yet, Daddy?"
much love and patience, your brother, Chris K.
