MAKE THE CONNECTION
“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the
day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” Matthew
25:13.
“But ye brethren, are not in darkness,
that that day should overtake you as a thief.”
1 Thessalonians 5”4
These two Scriptures are not
contradictory. Rather, they complement one another.
The first Scripture was spoken to the
unbelieving Jewish people.
The latter Scripture was spoken to the Lord’s
believing church. Notice carefully what it says, and
believe it.
THE HISTORICAL CONNECTION
Three days after Passover, the Jewish people
stood on the eastern shore of the Red
Sea, VICTORIOUS and praising the Lord for having delivered them
from their Egyptian enemies.
Three days after Passover the Lord Jesus Christ
came forth from the tomb, having gained VICTORY over death,
hell, and the grave.
The Apostle was inspired of God to write,
“For if we have been planted together in the
likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His
resurrection,” Romans 6:5.
AND
In speaking about the Rapture Paul wrote:
“But thanks be to God which giveth us the
VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ,”
1 Corinthians 15:53-57.
March 30th is three days after Passover.
March is the third month on our Gentile
calendar. “3” is the Bible number which signifies
“resurrection; rapture.”
“30” is the Bible number which signifies
“blood;” the precious blood of Christ.
Add the three and the thirty together, and the
total is 33. “33” is the Bible number which signifies
“promise; to make or fulfill a promise.” Read John
14:3.
Pray! Study! Praise! Look
up!
