‘But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those
who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as the others who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so those who
sleep in Jesus will God also bring with him.
For this, we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are
alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not precede those who
are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we who
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. Therefore comfort one another with these words.’
- 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
A
while back I had designed a t-shirt for family and friends that
depicted a graphic incorporating the possible Rapture Zone to the
timespan of the Tetrad Blood Moon sequence
ending on September 28, 2015. I have been encouraged to make it
available to the online fellowships as it is a great witnessing tool.
People will actually come up to you and ask,
‘what does it mean’ as there is Greek and astronomical symbols.
The layout is very simple but packed with significance and a great
conversation starter to ask people if they are ‘Rapture Ready’ as the
Church could be entering the ‘Rapture Zone’ in this
generation.
The graphic is not insinuating that the Rapture will occur on that
specific date but that it could be a sign of the nearness of the Rapture
event that could occur within the ‘zone’ after the Tetrad. At the top
of the graphic is the Greek word ἁρπαγησόμεθα (Harpagēsometha)
alluding to Harpazo and from where ‘Rapture’ is taken from. This word
is often attributed to being the description of the Rapture event. The
term has a connotation of a ‘snatching away’. The theme of the t-shirt
graphic is based on 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
where the Apostle Paul encouraged the Saints to not loose heart. The
issue was about those who had died in the LORD.
Paul taught that they would eventually see their saved loved ones who
had died and that they would be coming back with the LORD at the time of
the Resurrection. This was common knowledge among the Jews, but what
was novel is that the Apostle Paul taught that
there was a mystery component to the Resurrection, the Mystery of the
Rapture. He now revealed to the Church of a Rapture
Harpagēsometha to regather with the Dead in Christ all those that
will be alive as well at the time of the Resurrection. It would be a
time where both would converge with their new glorified bodies. This
verse presents a context that the Rapture of those
remaining alive is the same event as the Resurrection of the Dead in
Christ is a singular event made up of 2 components.
The Re-gatherings
The Apostle Paul taught that to be absent from the body is to be
‘face to face’ with the LORD. Physical death is the separation of
the triune components of a human being that has been created in the
very likeness and image of the triune Creator, the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. A human being is thus made up of the
Soul, Spirit and the Body. At the point of physical dead, the Spirit
and Soul are with the LORD, the Body remains on Earth. What occurs at
the time of the Trumpet Calling of the Archangel is that the 3 are
reunited for those died in Jesus first. In the case
of those who died first, their body composition is still in the domain
of the Earth and on Earth although decomposed. The LORD will reassemble
the body components based on the genetic code that like a thumb print
every human has and is unique. In this case,
it will be a glorious reunion in a metamorphosed
body which the Bible alludes to the Glorification of the Body.
It is what the Apostle Paul calls the transformation from mortal
corruptibility to immortal incorruptibility. For those that are alive at
the time of the Call, the current physically bodies of Believers in
Jesus, although defaced by sin will be transformed
also into the glorified eternal state as Jesus has now and acquired
after His resurrection. The LORD Himself attested to this fact as
‘flesh and bones can enter the Kingdom’. This type of the new state of being is how Hebrews 7:16 describes it as
‘who has become such not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an
indestructible life.’ What is spectacular to consider is that
Believers in Jesus have this ‘indestructible life’ now. Although
Believers have had to experience death, or as some are murdered or
martyred, the Bible teaches that Jesus has taken the
sting out of death and the dying process.
What is amazing to consider is that the last generation that will be
alive at the time of the Calling from up High will not experience this
physical death or separation. It is also amazing to consider that that a
glorified resurrected man in the flesh currently
resides at the ‘Right Hand of the Father’ in the very Throne Room of
Heaven. Jesus’ gloried body is of flesh but incorruptible,
indestructible and without blood. He still has the marks of the wounds
of the crucifixion as an eternal memorial of what His physical
body was subjected to, torture. Satan and his minions perhaps may be
allowed to murder and martyr Believers but they can only kill the
current physical body that is the temporary receptacle of the Soul and
Spirit. As it is now, Believers in Jesus have this
position of glorification in Christ although in ‘Earthen vessels’
presently.
The assurance and ‘down payment’ or deposit of this promise of a future
glorification and with the new body is the sealing of the Holy Spirit
given to the Church since Pentecost. As it is, Pentecost was the first
fruits of the harvest to come that the Resurrection
and the Rapture are all about. Jesus was the 1st in the
order of the Resurrections as the First Fruit and occurred most
appropriately on the Feast of First Fruits. The witnessing Angels
attested to the Rapture of the LORD to the Disciple of the
fact that His Followers would also follow a similar Resurrection and
Rapture order. For those that remain alive at the time of the twinkling
of an eye event, it will be a special time as those alive are to be the
last generation to be alive that will be the
ones that will not experience death, which is the separation of the
soul-spirit from one’s bodies.
Such
will walk into eternity, alive and be raptured or snatched away into
immorality as they experience the same metaphorizing of the body as the
Dead in Christ who went
up before. This 2 component Resurrection-Rapture event will be also a
rendezvous as the meeting place will be in the air. From that place of
gathering, the LORD as the Good Shepherd, the expectant Groom will usher
in the Bride to the Halls of Glory. Realize
that this 2 prong event takes place in less a split second, literally. A
twinkling of an eye is calculated to be approximately within the
following speed. On average it can be simplified as being 1/100th of a
second.
8.23 - 5.19 millisecond.
The Rapture Zone
How
the Rapture Zone is possibly tied to the end of the Tetrad of 2014-15
is that based on the celestial signs and patterns of the Jubilee, solar,
lunar and comet patterns, it appears
that the end of the Tetrad is a convergence of prophetic time of sorts.
The Rapture does not need to be tied to the Tetrad sequences but it is
an interesting supposition to consider. The possible timing of the
culmination of the Tetrad sequence since 1949
then 1967 could be in synch with the Jubilee timetable since 1966, if
it is an accurate rendering. It is exciting to speculate that perhaps
the 3rd Temple might be implied by the end of the 2014-15 Tetrad that ends on a Super Moon. The following
Tetrad sequences are suggested to correspond to their prophetic implication.
Prophetic Tetrad sequence
1. 1949-50 = Nation birthed (Israel)
2. 1967-68 = Jerusalem recaptured (Temple Mount)
3. 2014-15 = 3rd Temple built (5776)?
This is the same sequence but in reverse order of the Olivet Discourse
of how Jesus predicted how the destruction of each would happen; to the
Temple, the City and the Nation. It appears to have been a blueprint of
Israel’s restoration in successive instalments
to culminate at the return of the Jesus as described in Zechariah
10-14. What is unique about the Tetrad sequence is that the pairs occur
on Passover and Sukkot, the first and last Holy Feast Days of YHVH. Here
is clearly an inference or perhaps an encryption
of the Aleph and the Tav; Jesus in the very DNA of the Tetrads.
Astronomically, in particular these last 3 Tetrad sequences have
occurred in either Virgo or Pisces. They alternated back and forth as to
signal that the Tetrad could be part of the signs corresponding to the
Virgin Bride of Christ that has made up the Church
Age of Pisces. It is very clear that the Bible ascribes the Followers
of Jesus as being Wise Virgins or supposed to be. Nonetheless, the
Rapture is about a reunion, a re-gathering; a long sought-out and longed
for seeing of the face of Jesus…the Groom, the
Kinsman-Redeemer. The race has been run, the fights have been fought,
and the work has been done. The Rapture will usher in a new time, a new
existence and condition where there will no longer be the sin nature or
temptation plaguing the physical body, mind
and soul. It will be a time when a Believer in Jesus will be in the
mysterious union with the LORD as a husband is with a wife; separate yet
together.
