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.
Pattern from the Transfiguration
The Transfiguration is discussed in three out of the four Gospels: Matthew 17:1-13; Mark 9:2-3; Luke 9:28-36. The accounts are all similar: Jesus, Peter, James and John go up a high mountain where Jesus is transfigured before them. Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appear in “glorious splendor.” (Luke 9:31.) A cloud envelopes all of them and they hear the voice of God. Peter says something that may connect the Transfiguration to the Feast of Tabernacles; he asks if they should build 3 tabernacles. Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
Matthew 17:4. This statement may also give us insight into the timing of the Rapture, because there seems to be a parallel between the Transfiguration and the Rapture passage in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17: “For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”
At the Transfiguration, Moses represents the
dead in Christ because he experienced 
death. Elijah
represents those who are alive at the time of the
Rapture because he never experienced death.
They, the dead and the alive, join Jesus and are
transformed. Also, Old
Testament saints and New Testament saints are
together during this event as represented by
Moses, Elijah, and the three disciples.
Although they are not in the air, they are on a “high mountain.” (Matthew 17:1.) A cloud envelopes them and they are with the Lord in the clouds. Lastly, the voice of God is heard, and we know from other scripture that the voice of God is like the sound of a trumpet. (See Revelation 1:10 and 4:1.)
The Transfiguration appears to be a rehearsal for the Rapture. It is also an indicator for its timing. "And AFTER SIX DAYS Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain apart." Why POINT OUT in all three Gospels that this happened "AFTER SIX DAYS"? What comes during the Feast of Tabernacles AFTER 6 DAYS? (ON THE 7TH DAY)??? Hoshanah Rabbah (meaning THE GREAT SALVATION).
The Transfiguration is also showing the timing of the start of the two witnesses. Revelation 11:6: "They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.” Who was the one person in the Old Testament that shut up the heavens so that it did not rain? Who was the one who turned water into blood? This is a reference to Elijah and Moses, the 2 that came down on the mountain to meet with Jesus and then Peter says that He will make 3 tabernacles for them. The Tribulation Saints (Messianic Jews and Gentile Christians) will have the anointing of Elijah and Moses during the Great Tribulation and go forth to do many great signs and wonders. Once again, the Scripture is pointing us to the Feast of Tabernacles as the Rapture and also the starting of the ministry of the 2 witnesses of Revelation. It is the beginning of the 1260 days of the ministry of the 2 witnesses (left behind Christians – both Messianic Jews and Gentile believers) and also the beginning of the 1260 days that the woman is given wings of an eagle to fly to a place prepared for her.
