"Re: Patti C/ Three raptures"


Dear Patti and doves. Well this post has me thinking again. Do we know in part still about the rapture? Do we know what we don't know?
Patti, I've been waking very early in the mornings thinking about the Lord coming. I posted on another forum about what seemed to me to be a rapture clue here: http://pub37.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=3138553015&frmid=389&msgid=1213010&cmd=show
Deut 16:9-10 a type of rapture and tribulation?
 
Since there was not discussion, I figured oh well, it means something to me. Then reading your posts about three raptures (which I did not consider this possibility seriously before, but want to take another look now), perhaps this question of why is there a cutting from the barley crop on the second day of Passover might be a piece of the puzzle regarding the rapture of the bride. Confusion is not of the Lord (unless He is doing that to an enemy in battle, i.e. Gideon Judges 7). He calls us to peace and to have a sound mind and we are called to wisdom. What is Your wisdom Lord? Why have a bit of barley brought as an offering after the Lamb was already offered. The Lamb is the big deal, so why some barley on the second day of Passover? Barley doesn't atone for sin, but the Father wanted it in addition to/following the Lamb. In addition to the Lamb, God the Father wanted a portion of the first of the crop and then the omer was counted http://www.jewfaq.org/holidayb.htm .
Counted to when? Counted to Pentecost.
 
This I know for sure, and is my testimony: that God is faithful and true love. His only begotten Son, Yeshua/Jesus, is faithful and true love. Jesus is the one in whom my soul delights.
 God will keep His word to us, fulfilling what is written in the Bible.
 
The Unknown
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.
