TWO DAYS OF THE SON OF MAN

TWO RAPTURES, ONE AS THE DAYS OF NOAH MID-TRIB, THE OTHER AS THE DAYS OF LOT POST-TRIB

Mat 24:37-40 says, "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

Luk 17:22-29 says, “And he (i.e., Jesus) said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. 23  And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. 24  For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day (i.e., the Day of Christ). 25  But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. 26  And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.”

THE MID-TRIB RAPTURE, WHEN MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL APPEARS, IS THE FIRST TRUMP, BUT NO ONE YET HAS AN IMMORTAL BODY

1Th 4:16,17 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.”

“NOW (I.E., MID-TRIB) IS COME SALVATION” (I.E., THE FIRST RAPTURE)

Rev 12:6-12 says, “And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days (i.e., during the Great Tribulation). 7  And there was war in heaven: MICHAEL and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, NOW (arti, just now, this day) IS COME SALVATION (soteria, deliverance, rescue, i.e., the Rapture), and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12  THEREFORE REJOICE, YE HEAVENS, AND YE THAT DWELL IN THEM"

THE POST-TRIB RAPTURE IS THE LAST TRUMP, WHEN ALL GET IMMORTAL BODIES

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 shall be changed. 53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, 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.”

To the last group, Heb 12:22-24 says, "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".

OVER AND OVER, PEOPLE SAY THAT WE CANNOT KNOW THE DAY OR HOUR OF THE RAPTURE, BUT JESUS DIDN’T SAY THAT

He said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” (Mat 24:35)

Heaven and earth passing away is not the Rapture.

In Mar 13:23, he said, “But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.”

THE FIRST RAPTURE IS MOST LIKELY WHEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN OPEN

In Luke 17:26, Jesus gave us a clue. He said, "And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.”

IN NOAH'S DAY, THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN WERE OPENED ON IYAR 17

According to Don Roth, the windows of heaven were opened on Iyar 17.(http://www.biblicalcalendarproof.com/HebrewCalendar/NoahsFlood)

The 40th day would be Sivan 27. Noah exited the Ark on Iyar 27 the following year.

Gen 8:14-16 says, "And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 15  And God spake unto Noah, saying, 16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee."

"Since the biblical year we refer to as the 600th year of Noah's life has 385 days it can only mean that the Hebrew Calendar (Calculated Hebrew Calendar) was in use at the time of the flood."

Don Roth wrote, “Genesis 7:11: “In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.”  This verse gives us the starting day of the Deluge: the seventeenth day of Iyar, the second month.

"The fact that the Noachian Flood began in the second month of the year tells us that it was the season of spring.

"Some may question this statement in the belief that the seventh month, Tishri, should start the year. They may even claim that Adam and Eve had to have been created in the fall of the year in order for them to have food to eat. But the garden was tropical, or semi-tropical, producing food throughout the year. Moreover, the calendar that God delivered to Moses clearly began in the spring of the year.

"Exodus 12:2: “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.”  God gave Moses specific instructions for determining the beginning point of the year.  This is the first of many scriptures designating the time that God ordained to start the year."

WHEN WERE THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN OPEN?

It looks like the windows of heaven were opened on Iyar 17. We know they stayed open for 40 days. The only Feast day that falls within that 40 days is Pentecost, which falls on Sun. June 4, 2017, a Jubilee since Israel took the Temple Mount in the Six-Day War of June, 1967.

SEVEN MEANS COMPLETION

The first Zionist Congress was in 1897.
The Balfour Declaration was in 1917.
Israel became a nation in 1947.
The Six-Day War was in 1967.
Will the Rapture be in 2017?

We are the temple of the Holy Spirit, who has dwelt in the Church ever since Pentecost 30 AD.

1Co 6:19 says, “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”

1Ki 6:1 says, “And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif (i.e., Iyar), which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.”

I don’t expect the literal Temple to be built on Earth until the “temple of the Holy Ghost” is in Heaven Mid-Trib, as in the days of Noah.

Rev 10:11 says, “Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”

Rev 11:1-3 says, “And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise (i.e., in the Mid-Trib Rapture), and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2  But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 3  And I will give power unto my two witnesses (i.e., Moses and Elijah), and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days (i.e., during the Great Tribulation), clothed in sackcloth.”

Rev 13:5-11 says, “And there was given unto him (i.e., Antichrist) a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months (i.e., during the first half of the Tribulation). 6  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and THEM THAT DWELL IN HEAVEN (i.e., the wise-virgin saints caught up just before the False Prophet comes to power). 7  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints (i.e., the foolish virgins left behind), and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9  If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10  He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 11  And I beheld another beast (i.e., the Satan-possessed False Prophet) coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”

THE 24 ELDERS ARE CAUGHT UP AT THE FIRST TRUMP, THE MID-TRIB RAPTURE

Num 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 for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. 3  And when they shall blow with them, 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, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.”

Rev 4:1-4 says, “After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 2  And immediately I was (lit., became) in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one (i.e., Jesus) sat on the throne. 3  And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone (i.e., the last and first stones in the breastplate): and there was a rainbow (i.e., Saturn’s rings) round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. 4  And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.”

PAUL WAS CAUGHT UP TO THE THIRD HEAVEN, OUR DESTINATION

2Co 12:2-4 says, “I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven (i.e., 1. Mars, 2. Jupiter, 3. Saturn). 3  And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4  How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.”

IMPORTANT EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE ON PENTECOST IN HISTORY

1. At the time of the Exodus, the Lord came down on Mt. Sinai, gave the Law to Moses, and 3,000 were killed

Exo 32:28 says, “And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.”

2. In 30 AD, the Holy Spirit was given to the church, and 3,000 were saved

Act 2:1...41 says,  “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come....Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”

MORE ABOUT THE MEANING OF NUMBERS

It is interesting that in Bible Numerics, by Ed Vallowe,
Three = Resurrection, Divine Completeness and Perfection
Seven = Completeness – Spiritual – Perfection
Seventeen = Victory
Fifty = Holy Spirit

Will we have victory and be caught up to New Jerusalem on Pentecost, Sun. June 4, 2017? It is a 50-year Jubilee since Israel took Jerusalem in the Six-Day War.

THE THRONE OF JESUS IS ON THE PLANET WITH A RAINBOW AROUND IT

Gen 9:13-17 says, "I do set MY BOW in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14  And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16  And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 17  And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth."

Eze 1:1 says, “...the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.”

Eze 1:26-28 says, “And above the firmament that was over their heads (i.e., farther out in space than the four terrestrial planets, including ‘earth’, verse 15) was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone (sapphire, birthstone of Jesus, means heaven): and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man (i.e., the only God/man is Jesus) above upon it. 27  And I saw as the colour of amber (i.e., Saturn is amber), as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about (i.e., 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.”

WILL OUR PETS GO UP IN THE RAPTURE?

I don't know, but there were animals in Noah's Ark.

THE SECOND DAY OF THE SON OF MAN IS AS THE DAYS OF LOT

Luk 17:26-33 says, "And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31  In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 32  Remember Lot's wife. 33  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it."
