The Bible
clearly pointed to the 7th day of
Tabernacles as the time of the Rapture. However,
Haggai 2 and the books of
Maccabees shows us that
the Lord has established a second Feast of
Tabernacles,
which today is called Hanukkah, meaning Dedication
(because during this Feast
they re-dedicated the Temple, just as Solomon had
first dedicated the Temple
during the Feast of Tabernacles). In the story of
Queen Esther, we see that
King Xerxes called for his bride to come to him on
the 7th day of a
Feast. This represents the Feast of Tabernacles. She
would not come. So he
found a new bride, Esther, and married her on the 7th
day of
Hanukkah. This is a prophetic illustration of Israel
rejecting their Messiah
and the
Laodicean Church being too busy and preoccupied and
not willing to come
to the Wedding Feast. Jesus told us this parable
also, of those who were
invited who were unwilling to come. So He told His
servants to go out and
invite anyone and everyone to come to His Wedding
Feast. I believe that the
Rapture was to take place on the 7th day
of Tabernacles, but Israel (including those of us
who
have been grafted in – the Church) is defiled. I believe the Rapture will most likely take place on the 7th day of Hanukkah, the same day that Esther was crowned Queen in place of Vashti.
I Maccabees 4:
There was no end to
the rejoicing among the people,
and the reproach of the pagans was lifted from
them. Judas, with his 
brothers and
the whole assembly of Israel, made it a law that the
days of the dedication of the altar should be
celebrated yearly at the proper season, for eight
days beginning on the twenty-fifth of the month
Chislev, with rejoicing and gladness.
2 Maccabees 1: 7-9
Then we prayed to the Lord and were heard; we offered a sacrifice with wheat flour, kindled the lamps and set out the loaves. And we now recommend you to keep the feast of Tabernacles of the month of Chislev. In the year one hundred and eighty-eight'.
Hanukkah was originally celebrated as a second Feast of Tabernacles. It was made a second Feast of Tabernacles because, in the three years that the Temple service was halted, it was impossible to observe the Feast of Tabernacles.
Waving palm branches and crying Hosanna were associated with the festivals of Tabernacles and Hanukkah, both of which celebrated a ruler riding in to free Jerusalem. Palm branches were waved at the first Hanukkah as the people celebrated the victory of Judah Maccabee. The palm branches of Jesus' final entrance into Jerusalem encapsulated the hope of the people that he, like Judah Maccabee, would lead the people to freedom.This is a study on how the Bible pointed to the 7th day of Tabernacles as the Rapture of the Church. All of these things are now transferred to the SECOND Feast of Tabernacles, or Hanukkah, December 9-16, 2012. The 7th day of Hanukkah is December 15, 2012. On the 7th day of Tabernacles, the Israelites would leave their temporary shelters (tents) and go to their permanent homes. This is symbolic of us leaving our temporary bodies (tents) and being given our eternal, immortal bodies when we see Jesus.
The Wedding and the Jewish Bridegroom/Bride
Before Jesus left earth at his first advent, he gave his beloved disciples a most precious promise. It was the promise of a Jewish bridegroom to a bride: “If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:3).
Jesus’ disciples knew the words because they were the traditional words of a man to his bride at the time of engagement, or betrothal. After those words, there was a time of great anticipation, and much work to accomplish. The bridegroom would “prepare a place” for his bride by building on to his father’s house a dwelling for the new couple, and plan for a seven-day wedding feast. Meanwhile, the bride planned for her move to a new home when her bridegroom would return, and prepared her special attire for the occasion.
The return of Christ to take his bride is referred to in the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. After a long engagement, up to a year or more, the day would come when the bridegroom would snatch away his bride in a romantic nighttime procession.
Perhaps Paul had this custom in mind when he wrote, “We which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them ... so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
The virgins were close friends of the
bride. They 
were
to be ready when the bridegroom, at the direction of his father, would come to
retrieve his bride and return for the marriage feast.
This happened during the night, keenly anticipated,
yet suddenly, at a time unknown. When awakened, these
friends of the bride would trim their lamps and attend
to the bride while proclaiming to the people that the
groom had arrived to snatch away his bride and
commence a week-long celebration.
The presence of the bridegroom was
initially alarming, waking the town’s people with the
sound of a shofar and
loud voices, proclaiming “behold the bridegroom,”
he has returned for his bride. A wedding processional
would emerge 
starting
with the close friends of the bride and bridegroom and eventually extend an
invitation to the marriage feast to all the people.
With torches in hand,
the sound of a trumpet and shouts of excitement
and joy, it was a festive night. In
other ways it was quite disconcerting to those who
were suddenly awakened and then tried to fall back to
sleep in spite of the celebration going on in their
streets. This sudden march of loud people in the
middle of the night was the only method of invitation
to the week-long event commencing in earnest the next
morning.
Once the procession reached the bridegroom’s home, after an intimate midnight celebration with friends and servants, the happy couple entered the nuptial chamber to celebrate their union. The bride remained in their private room for seven days enjoying the exclusive company of her groom, still attended by her friends (the virgins). During this time, the groom, his family, friends and servants would attend to the guests. The bride would be revealed to waiting guests at the end of seven days. In some cases the identity of the veiled bride was unknown until the last day of the feast. The bride is revealed to the universe on the LAST DAY of the FEAST. Romans 8:19: The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
“The heavens are proclaiming the glory of Yah; and the expanse is declaring the work of His hand. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, and there are no words, their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them He SET UP A TENT for the sun, and it is like a BRIDEGROOM COMING OUT OF HIS ROOM, It rejoices like a strong man to run the path.”
