Hello, John and Doves,Hello, sister Marilyn! I think the coming of the LORD for His prepared Bride is imminent.The reason is a prophecy I made in 1985, that we could confirm the nearness of the Rapture when relationships begin to heal among Christians.I believe the Holy Spirit is revealing to me what you mean by "two raptures."Nothing could be clearer than what you state below.Looking forward to meeting you,In Christ Jesus,Mike C.__________________Marilyn Agee (12 March 2012)
"B Warner: THE RAPTURE DATE"
Hi:> > Can you point out the Scripture that supports two raptures yet to come? I can see only two raptures total in all of Scripture each one being represented by a wave offering. The first wave offering rapture is Jesus as the FIRSTFRUITS OF THE DEAD rapture on ascension day. The second wave-offering rapture is His bride, the Church, as the FIRSTFRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT rapture yet to come.Yes, I can point out Scriptures that support two FUTURE Raptures, the FIRST-TRUMP RAPTURE (probably May 17, 2012, Ascension Day) and the LAST-TRUMP RAPTURE (probably Tishri 1, 5776, Sept 14, 2015). In the following, words in parentheses are mine.KEEP IN MIND THAT JOB 11:6 SAYS, “THE SECRETS OF WISDOM, THAT THEY ARE DOUBLE TO THAT WHICH IS!”Ecc_3:15 supports this truth. It says, “THAT WHICH IS TO BE HATH ALREADY BEEN”. In other words, the future can be understood by studying things that have been acted out in the past.Did you see what the angel said? I think it is important. Here it is:Tom Tanner (23 Jan 2012) "Reply, Ola Ilori, the "EASTER AND THE FIRSTFRUIT> > In this vision the Angel and I was walking and came upon a hill.I looked at the hill and there was some graves in it, they started opening up and people were coming out of them.I asked the Angel what is this?He said “it’s the dead in Christ being resurrected, just as God said they would be".I then saw people floating upward out of their cars and houses but I was not going with them”I said when will this happen?He replied “first fruits”I said Easter?He said “Yes, it will happen on first fruits just as promised!”Easter and Firstfruits are both on the same day this year. I did a double-take and thought “as promised” – when was that? Oh, it was acted out. Then this promise must be understood because it was acted out for us. Some saints came out of their graves on Firstfruits, and Jesus acted out the first Rapture on Ascension Day. We are the Body of Christ. Wow! Then it looks like Ed will get his resurrection body on Easter/Firstfruits, Sunday, April 8, 2012, and I will join him on Ascension Day, May 17, 2012. That’s wonderful. We would only be apart about 5 months, a mere blip out of the 65 years we were together. That sure made me feel better. I have high hopes now.This applies to the Raptures. The saints that came out of their graves and were seen in Jerusalem on Resurrection Day, Sunday, Nisan 16, 3790 (30 AD) seem to have played out the resurrection of the saints on Sunday, Nisan 16, 5772, April 8, 2012. Firstfruits and Easter Sunday do not fall on the same day every year. They do this year and in 2015, but not in 2013 or 2014. To me, this limits the First-Trump Rapture to THIS YEAR.THE TYPE: TWO TRUMPETS ARE FOR THE CALLING OF THE ASSEMBLYNum 10:1-4 says, “And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Make thee TWO TRUMPETS of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them (BOTH) for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. 3 And when they shall blow with them (BOTH), all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 And if they blow but with ONE TRUMPET, then the princes (THE 24 ELDERS), which are heads of the thousands of Israel (THE 12 PATRIARCHS AND THE 12 APOSTLES), shall gather themselves unto thee.” We see the 24 elders, including John, in Heaven in Rev 4:4.A WELL-KNOWN SCRIPTURE SHOWS THAT THE FIRST RAPTURE IS AT THE FIRST TRUMP1Th 4:16-18 says, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the TRUMP OF GOD: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”These become incorruptible, but not yet actually immortal. That happens when the whole Body of Christ is complete.ANOTHER WELL-KNOWN SCRIPTURE SHOWS THAT THE SECOND RAPTURE IS AT THE LAST TRUMPAt the last trump, all the Body of Christ, including Paul, become immortal in the blink of an eye.1Co 15:51-54 says, “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall ALL BE CHANGED, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we (INCLUDING PAUL) shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption (that happens at both Raptures), and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”JOHN IS ONE OF THE 24 ELDERS, SO IS PAULThese heads of the thousands of Israel are the 24 elders we see in Rev 4:4. The general assembly is found in Hebrews 12:22-26. It says, “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the GENERAL ASSEMBLY and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.”THE MIRACLE PLAY, “THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRISTIn Rev 1:19, Jesus, author of the script and director of this play, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”, organized his whole production around the first Rapture. It looks like he is addressing the Church during the 40 days from the Easter/Firstfruits Sunday, April 8, 2012, when the dead in Christ get their resurrection bodies, to the Rapture on Ascension Day, Thursday. May 17, 2012.Hold your hat. I’m excited, because I now realize how well this fits today. John played out the Rapture on Sunday. That is imprtant. Here we go.In Rev 1:19, Jesus/God Almighty told John, cast as servant, actor and narrator in this miracle play, “Write the things which thou hast seen (before the first Rapture), and the things which are (when the first Rapture is nigh), and the things which shall be hereafter (after the first Rapture). Then he explained what the seven stars and seven golden candlesticks represented. In 1:20, he said, “The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.” John saw all seven church groups in Heaven. That means that there are some Laodiceans that repent and become wise virgins, probably during the 40 days from Firstfruits to Ascension Day.As the author, of course Jesus knew that he was actually writing to the church during the last 40 days, between Easter and Ascension Day in 2012, when the first Rapture is literally at hand (probably Ascension Day, May 17, 2012). In both the first and last chapters of his miracle play, he emphasized that the time was at hand. In 1:1-3, he said, “The Revelation (apokalupsis, disclosure of [the time of] the coming) of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which MUST SHORTLY COME TO PASS (i.e, probably within 40 days); and he sent and signified it by his angel (the angel of the Lord, as seen by Abraham) unto his servant John (one of the 24 elders, who are the 12 patriarchs and the 12 apostles of Israel): 2 Who bare record (John wrote down the script) of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he that readeth (i.e., right now, you and me), and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things (including the Rapture) which are written therein: for the TIME (the time of the first Rapture) IS AT HAND.” In Rev 22:10, John wrote, “And he ( Jesus) saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for THE TIME IS AT HAND.” Jesus signed off at the end of the script by saying, “Surely I come quickly. Amen” (which means so be it). He comes quickly at the first Rapture. Then John signed off with, “Even so, come (at the time of the first Rapture), Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (so be it).THE PREVIEW OF THE FIRST-TRUMP RAPTURELike our movie directors today, in the beginning, Christ tells us who he is and runs a Preview. (In 1:8, he tells us who he is, saying, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning (LORD of the Old Testament) and the ending (Lord of the New Testament), saith the Lord, which is (at the time of the first Rapture), and which was (at the First Advent), and which is to come (at the Second Advent), the Almighty”). Jesus is giving members of today’s church a preview of coming events. We should repent, sit up and take notice. The last 40 days will probably be when Jesus will choose the wise virgins. The foolish virgins and the 144,000 Israelites will be left behind. The Holy Spirit should be poured out on them on Pentecost, May 27, 2012. I think Moses and Elijah will come down that day. On Pentecost, God called Moses up on Mt. Sinai. As soon as he was up there, the Lord immediately told him to GO DOWN.That followed the revelation that the Rapture had already taken place. In Ex 19:4, the Lord said, “Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians (think of both then and today. Mubarak was put out of office recently), and how I BARE YOU ON EAGLES’ WINGS, AND BROUGHT YOU UNTO MYSELF.” I think this clue applies to the Rapture in our days. In those days, Israel travelled on foot. They didn’t fly. I think the first Rapture will precede Pentecost and take place on Ascension Day, May 17, 2012.Here is the Preview of the coming Rapture. In Rev 1:9-18, John (meaning God is gracious) said, “I John, who also am your brother (i.e., a believer), and companion IN TRIBULATION (i.e., in the FIRST HALF that started on Pentecost, May 29, 2009, and will end Nov 8/9, 2012), and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos (meaning mortal), for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was (lit., became) in the Spirit (i.e., probably depicting his receiving his resurrection body on the Lord's day, i.e., Sunday, Easter/Firstfruits, April 8, 2012), and heard behind me a great voice, as of a TRUMPET, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia (meaning muddy, depicting the fact that they are on Earth); unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea (i.e., at the end of chapter 3, just before the First-Trump Rapture in Rev 4:1).In the Preview, John was caught up to Heaven and said, 12 “I turned to see the voice (i.e., of Jesus) that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks (he saw the 7 churche groups who have just been caught up to Heaven in the First-Trump Rapture); 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man (Jesus), clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden (symbol of Deity) girdle (symbol of a King). 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool (as in Dan 7:9), as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass (symbol of judgment), as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars (i.e., the angels of the 7 churches that were just caught up): and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword (i.e., to cut off the foolish virgins): and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead (i.e., because at the time of the Rapture, he actually is dead). And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore (in the Preview, John just got his resurrection body, and he will probably actually get it on Firstfruits/Easter Sunday, April 8, 2012), Amen (which means so be it); and have the keys of hell and of death.”Dan_7:9 says, “I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels (rings and orbit) as burning fire.”Ezekiel saw the throne of this God/man. In 1:1, he said, “the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.” In 1:26-28, he said, “And above the firmament (expanse of space) that was over their heads (farther out in space than the 4 terrestrial planets, of which one was the Earth, 1:15) was the likeness (symbolic language) of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone (sapphire means dear to the planet Saturn, from the Sanskrit Sani, Saturn, and priya, dear): and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man (the only God/man ever, Jesus Christ) above upon it. 27 And I saw as the colour of amber (Saturn has amber on it), as the appearance of fire round about within it (it gives off more heat than it receives from the Sun), from the appearance of his loins (from the equator) even upward, and from the appearance of his loins (from the equator) even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about (that is Saturn’s ring system). 28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.”After John was told to write the things he had seen, Jesus gave his monologue to the seven church groups on Earth today, probably meant to apply to the church during the 40 days following John’s literally getting his resurrection body on Easter/Firstfruits Sunday, April 8, 2012, and probably ending with the First-Trump Rapture on Ascension Day, Thursday, May 17, 2012). Firstfruits was on Sunday in 30 AD too.Since these messages are given to the church of our days, we should read them with this in mind. I think the time is now truly AT HAND. We are almost home.Rev 4:1 is the First-Trump Rapture. Verses 1-4 say, “After this (i.e., probably 40 days after Easter this year, on Ascension Day, May 17, 2012) I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard (in the Preview, Christ’s voice, in Rev 1:8) was as it were of a TRUMPET (i.e., the first trump) talking with me; which said, COME UP HITHER, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter (i.e., in the rest of the Tribulation following the First-Trump Rapture, Mid-Trib is probably Nov 8/9, 2012, and there are 1040 days (Dan 8:13,14) after that, ending on the Feast of Trumpets, Sept 14, 2015). 2 And immediately I was (lit., became) in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one (Jesus Christ) sat on the throne. 3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper (the first stone in the breastplate) and a sardine stone (the last stone in the breastplate, i.e., he is the first and the last, LORD of the Old Testament and Lord of the New Testament): and there was a rainbow (i.e., Saturn’s rings) round about the throne (on Saturn, the third heaven Paul was caught up to, Mars, Jupiter, then Saturn), in sight like unto an emerald (Judah’s stone in the breastplate, i.e., Jesus is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah). 4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats (lit., thrones): and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders (12 patriarchs and 12 apostles, including Paul and John) sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.” All 24 got their resurrection bodies and were caught up to Heaven in Rev 4:1.All 24 elders are Israelites. Rev 5:9,10 shows that many more are caught up at the same time out of all nations. Of the saints, it says, “And they sung a NEW SONG, saying (i.e., to Jesus), Thou art worthy to take the book (the 7-sealed Title Deed of the Earth), and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain (crucified), and hast redeemed us (the wise virgins) to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God (Christ) kings and priests: and we shall reign on (epi, on or over) the earth.” At that time, our home will be in New Jerusalem. It will come down and orbit the Earth like the Moon. It seems likely that we will travel to and from the Earth doing the Lord’s work.THE LAST-TRUMP RAPTURE ON THE DAY OF GOD’S WRATH, PROBABLY ON THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS, SEPT. 14, 2015Rev 6:17 says, “For the great DAY OF HIS WRATH is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Probably no one, every wall will fall in the worldwide earthquake.1Co_15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.Rev 7:14-17 says, “These are they which CAME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION (probably on the Feast of Trumpets, Sept 14, 2015), and have washed their robes (at the first Rapture, no one had to wash their robes), and made them white in the blood of the Lamb (these are the foolish virgins). 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.” No wonder they have tears, they get out of here by the skin of their teeth, just before the asteroids of Rev 8:8-11 hit Earth.At Mt. Sinai, Israel had to wash their clothes too. The washing comes after the first Rapture, and includes the Laodiceans that will be left behind at the first Rapture.Of the Day of God’s Wrath, Eze 38:18-23 says, “And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that MY FURY shall come up in my face. 19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of MY WRATH have I spoken, Surely in that day (Day of the Lord, Day of God’s Wrath, Jesus’ Long Day) there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel (the asteroid of Rev 8:8 will impact the Mediterranean Sea); 20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence (paniym, face, they see the Sign of the Son of Man in the sky), and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. 21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. 22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain (i.e., a tsunami), and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone (from the asteroid impacts). 23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations (they will see the Sign of the Son of Man in the sky), and they shall KNOW that I am the LORD.”Rev 16:17-20 says, “And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city (Jerusalem) was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of HIS WRATH. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.”Of the Day of God’s Wrath, the Feast of Trumpets, Eze 7:2-14 says, “thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; AN END (probably Tishri 1, 5776, Sept 14, 2015), THE END IS COME upon the four corners of the land. 3 Now is THE END COME upon thee, and I will send MINE ANGER upon thee, and will judge thee (at the Judgment Seat of Christ) according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations. 4 And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come. 6 An end is come, THE END IS COME: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come. 7 The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the DAY OF TROUBLE is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains (KINGDOMS). 8 Now will I shortly pour out MY FURY upon thee, and accomplish MINE ANGER upon thee: and I will JUDGE THEE according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations. 9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth. 10 BEHOLD THE DAY, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. 11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them. 12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for WRATH is upon all the multitude thereof. 13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life. 14 They have blown the TRUMPET, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for MY WRATH is upon all the multitude thereof.”Speaking of the Last-Trump Rapture, Psa_47:5-7 says, “GOD IS GONE UP with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a TRUMPET.” 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. 7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.”INTERESTING VERSES THAT MENTION THE TRUMPETPsa_81:3 says, “Blow up the TRUMPET in the new moon (i.e., on Tishri 1), in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day (the Feast of Trumpets).Isa_18:3 says “All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign (flag, probably the UN flag) on the mountains (kingdoms); and when he bloweth a TRUMPET, hear ye.”Isa_27:13 says, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great TRUMPET shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.”Isa_58:1 says, “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a TRUMPET, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.”Jer_4:5 says, “Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the TRUMPET in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.”Jer_4:19 says, “My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the TRUMPET, the alarm of war.”Jer_4:21 says, “How long shall I see the standard (flag), and hear the sound of the TRUMPET?”Jer_6:1 says, “O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the TRUMPET in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil (Satan’s asteroid, Wormwood) appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.”Jer_6:17 says, “Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the TRUMPET. But they said, We will not hearken.”Jer_51:27 says, “Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the TRUMPET among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.”Eze_7:14 says, “They have blown the TRUMPET, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for MY WRATH is upon all the multitude thereof.”Eze_33:3-6 says, “If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the TRUMPET, and warn the people”. 4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the TRUMPET, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 He heard the sound of the TRUMPET, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. 6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the TRUMPET, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.”Hos_5:8 says, “Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the TRUMPET in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.”Hos_8:1 says, “Set the TRUMPET to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.”Joe_2:1says, “Blow ye the TRUMPET in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the DAY OF THE LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand”.Joe_2:15 says, “Blow the TRUMPET in Zion (on the Feast of Trumpets), sanctify a fast (the coming Day of Atonement), call a SOLEMN ASSEMBLY”.Psa_47:5 says, “God is gone UP with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a TRUMPET.”Zec_9:14 says, “And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the TRUMPET, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.”Let me know if I have left anything out that should be included.Agape,Marilyn AgeeFrom: B WarnerSent: Sunday, March 11, 2012 8:24 AMSubject: Re: Fwd: THE BLOOD MOON TETRAD, THE SOLAR ECLIPSE, THE JUBILEE YEAR, AND THE RAPTURE DATE.........Hi Marilyn,Can you point out the Scripture that supports two raptures yet to come? I can see only two raptures total in all of Scripture each one being represented by a wave offering. The first wave offering rapture is Jesus as the FIRSTFRUITS OF THE DEAD rapture on ascension day. The second wave-offering rapture is His bride, the Church, as the FIRSTFRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT rapture yet to come.YBIC, Bruce Warner

April 9, 2016, the 1st day of the Sacred, Regnal and Jubilee Year (the latter is preceded by the Sabbatic Year 5775)Jesus said that he was Lord of the Sabbath, so the Second Advent on Saturday fits nicely.The file you sent me, by by Wayne Bedwell, says, “But current Jewish calendar procedures periodically conflict with the use of the equinox to establish the first month of the religious year”.
The first day of the Hebrew Sacred Year was not established by the spring equinox, except that it should be after the equinox. Nisan 16 was Firstfruits, when they had to have Abib barley. Therefore, the month was set by when they found Abib Barley. If they didn’t find it in time, they put in the 13th month, Adar II.
I agree that the Jubilee Year begins on Nisan 1, 5776. I think that date will be the day the Jubilee Year starts. It has to be preceded by a Sabbatical Year, and 5775 is Sabbatic.> > Jerusalem was returned to Israel in June 1967. That was a fiftieth-year Jubilee. Therefore the prior year, 1966, was the 49th Sabbatic Year. Add the next 49 year Jubilee cycle to the Sabbatic Year 1966 and you come to the next 49th Sabbatic Year 2015. Add one year to 49th Sabbatic Year 2015 and you get the fiftieth-year Jubilee 2016.On the Jubilee, we agree.> > Acts 2:20 "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood; BEFORE THE COMING of the great and awesome Day of the Lord.I think the Day of the Lord, which is the day of destruction, the Day of Jacob’s Trouble, a day like no other, will be on the Feast of Trumpets, Mon.

It will be a day of thick darkness.Joel 1:15 says, “Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.”Joel 2:1-3 says, “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;:2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. 3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.”Jer_30:7 says, “ Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.”> > Day of Atonement September 23, 2015 (10th day of 7th month of 49th year) consecration of the fiftieth year Jubilee beginning: Nisan 1, 5776=March 9, 2016I agree with you except on the date Nisan 1 falls on. Many don’t think about the fact that years don’t begin on the 10th day of the 7th month. That is when it is announced so people can have time to make plans for the Jubilee Year.> > Blood Moon eclipse #4 on Tabernacles 2015Yes. That is important. The Tetrads of 2014 and 2015 point to the end times. Also, the height of the Pyramid of Giza in inches gives us the year of Jesus’ Second Advent, 5776.> > Jerusalem was returned to Israel in June 1967. That was a fiftieth-year Jubilee. Therefore the prior year, 1966, was the 49th Sabbatic Year. Add the next 49 year Jubilee cycle to the Sabbatic Year 1966 and you come to the next 49th Sabbatic Year 2015. Add one year to 49th Sabbatic Year 2015 and you get the fiftieth-year Jubilee 2016.Leviticus 25:13I agree.> > "In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession."> > I believe that Jesus Christ's most prized possession is His Church, which is His bride. I believe that Jesus "shall return to His possession" (Lev 25:13) who is His bride Church, in the next "Year of Jubilee" which begins Nisan 1, 5776 = March 9, 2016. I DO NOT believe this to be the Second Coming of the Lord to re-claim the earth, but rather His appearing to rapture His bride Church, and then return at a later date at his Second Coming with His bride Church to re-claim the earth.I think Daniel will stand in his plot of land in Israel on the 1335th day (according to the last verse of Dan 12). He is an Israelite returning to his possession. The Church is not promised the Earth forever, Israel is. The Church is promised New Jerusalem.Rev 3:12 says, “ Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. “> > Luke 21:28 & 31> > "Now when these things begin to happen, LOOK UP AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, because your redemption draws near." ("LOOK UP" at the eclipses of the sun and moon.)"So you also, when you see these things happening, KNOW THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NEAR."Luk 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.Luk 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring (we had tsunamis);Luk 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.Luk 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. (He comes in glory at the Second Advent.)Luk 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.Luk 21:29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree (i.e., Israel), and all the trees (other nations);Luk 21:30 When they now shoot forth (i.e., in the spring), ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.”If the First-Trump Rapture is on May 17, summer, June 21, will be nigh. War threatens already. It’s in every day’s news.Luk 21:31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God (i.e., the Rapture) is nigh at hand.Luk 21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.Luk 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.Luk 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.Luk 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.Luk 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted WORTHY TO ESCAPE all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. “This “ESCAPE” is the First-Trump Rapture. It will probably come before summer this year.June 1967 + a generation, about 48.33 years, will probably turn out to be Tishri 1, 5766, the Day of God’s Wrath. The Last-Trump Rapture takes place on the Day of
God’s Wrath (Rev 6:17; 7:14).The First-Trump Rapture comes before that._____________________________________________________________From: B WarnerSent: Saturday, March 10, 2012 8:16 AMSubject: Fwd: THE BLOOD MOON TETRAD, THE SOLAR ECLIPSE, THE JUBILEE YEAR, AND THE RAPTURE DATE.........

Dear Doves,I think a good case can be made for the rapture to occur in the Month of Nisan 5776 beginning March 9, 2016=Nisan 1, 5776 which also begins the next 'Spiritual' Jubilee Year.Jerusalem was returned to Israel in June 1967. That was a fiftieth-year Jubilee. Therefore the prior year, 1966, was the 49th Sabbatic Year. Add the next 49 year Jubilee cycle to the Sabbatic Year 1966 and you come to the next 49th Sabbatic Year 2015. Add one year to 49th Sabbatic Year 2015 and you get the fiftieth-year Jubilee 2016.Leviticus 25:13"In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession."I believe that Jesus Christ's most prized possession is His Church, which is His bride. I believe that Jesus "shall return to His possession" (Lev 25:13) who is His bride Church, in the next "Year of Jubilee" which begins Nisan 1, 5776 = March 9, 2016. I DO NOT believe this to be the Second Coming of the Lord to re-claim the earth, but rather His appearing to rapture His bride Church, and then return at a later date at his Second Coming with His bride Church to re-claim the earth.Acts 2:20"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood; BEFORE THE COMING of the great and awesome Day of the Lord.Blood Moon eclipse #1 on Passover 2014Blood Moon eclipse #2 on Tabernacles 2014Sackcloth Solar eclipse on equinox March 20, 2015 (This is one-year to the Day of Palms March 19, 2016 = Nisan 11, 5776) (Is this our one-year sun-sign?

This is the day I believe we are most likely to receive our palm branches and the crown of life.March 14, 2016 = Nisan 14, 5776 PassoverLuke 21:28 & 31"Now when these things begin to happen, LOOK UP AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, because your redemption draws near." ("LOOK UP" at the eclipses of the sun and moon.)"So you also, when you see these things happening, KNOW THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NEAR."According to Your Word, come Lord Jesus!Bruce Warner
