POINT 1
The key word there is “traditionally.” The Bible does not tell Israelites to keep Lag B’Omer. If the Lord did not put it in Scripture, we don’t have to take it into consideration.Satan has been trying very hard to muddy the water with all kinds of conflicting and false religious ideas ever since the Tower of Babel, when Nimrod and Semiramis set up the Mystery Religion of Babylon. Nimrod and their son Tammuz were worshipped as the sun god. Semiramis and Tammuz were worshipped as the Madonna and child. Semiramis said that Tammuz was killed by a wild boar and was resurrected.I wondered if Lag B’Omer was mentioned in the Talmud, so I searched on Google and this was the first thing that came up:“This week marks Lag B'Omer, the thirty-third day of the counting of the Omer, a minor holiday whose origins are shrouded in mystery. It is a day of celebration in the midst of the more solemn mood of the rest of the days of the Omer. Why is this so?“The Talmud records that one year, through the first weeks of counting of the Omer, twelve thousand pairs of disciples of Rabbi Akiva died until the 33rd day, when the deaths ceased (Yevamot 62b).”
Here is what Wikipedia says about the Talmud:
“The Talmud (Hebrew: תַּלְמוּד talmūd "instruction, learning", from a root lmd "teach, study") is a central text of mainstream Judaism. It takes the form of a record of rabbinic discussions pertaining to Jewish law, ethics, philosophy, customs and history.
“The Talmud has two components: the Mishnah (Hebrew: משנה)(c. 200 CE), the first written compendium of Judaism's Oral Law; and the Gemara (c. 500 CE), an elucidation of the Mishnah and related Tannaitic writings that often ventures onto other subjects and expounds broadly on the Hebrew Bible.”
POINT 2
There are two Raptures, the First-Trump Rapture of I Thess 4:16,17 and the Last-Trump Rapture of I Cor 15:51-54. They cannot be the same event, as many claim. Those raised at the first Rapture are not made immortal until after the last Rapture. You can’t have a last without a first.
Num 10:1-4 says, “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 (i.e., 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 (i.e., elders), which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee” (as in Rev 4:1-4).POINT 3I think the 144,000 Israelites will be added to the wise-virgin Bride of Christ group at the Last-Trump Rapture before the Marriage of the Lamb will take place.
Rev 5:9 says, “And they (i.e., wise-virgin saints caught up in the First-Trump Rapture) sung a NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation”.After the Last-Trump Rapture of Rev 7, Rev 14:1-5 says, “And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were a NEW SONG before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and NO MAN COULD LEARN THAT SONG BUT THE HUNDRED AND FORTY AND FOUR THOUSAND, which were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for THEY ARE VIRGINS . These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are WITHOUT FAULT before the throne of God.”
The Last-Trump Rapture will take place on the Day of God’s Wrath (Rev 6:17; 7:14). That is the day Jesus receives his millennial kingdom. Like Solomon, he will purge it at the outset. I think the Last-Trump Rapture will take place on Trumpets, Sept 14, 2015, just before the asteroids of Rev 8:8-11 impact Earth.
During the silence in Heaven and Earth, Jesus will be seated as judge at the Judgment seat of Christ. After his duties there are taken care of, the Marriage of the Lamb can take place.
Hab_2:20 says, “But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the EARTH KEEP SILENCE before him.”
Rev_8:1 says, “And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was SILENCE IN HEAVEN about the space of half an hour.”
Rev 19:1-7 says, “And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he HATH JUDGED the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. 6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent REIGNETH. 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB IS COME, and his wife hath made herself ready.”Agape,Marilyn Ageeprophecycorner.theforeverfamily.com
Marilyn,
If Lag B'Omer is the only day that marriages were allowed during the Omer count (5/9-5/10), and the church
is known as the bride, how could Jesus come for the church on Ascension Day 5/17 when marriages weren't
traditionally allowed? Just curious about your thoughts. The ones watching for the rapture are also likened to
wise virgins, again supporting that the coming to get us is related to the Jewish wedding tradition.
