In any harvest, there is the firstfruits, the main harvest, and the gleanings.  Jesus is our Firstfruits for the body of Christ.  The body of Christ at the moment of the rapture is the main harvest.  The gleanings are those who were unbelievers at the microsecond prior to the rapture, but are also those whom the Father has chosen to be of the gleanings.  Not everyone who witnesses folks being raptured will be part of the gleanings.  Only those whom the Father has chosen to also give to Jesus, in addition to us.

Those select people to whom God grants saving faith to, as they witness others being raptured, have to wait seven days before being brought up to Jesus on the 7th cloud-day.  But that is not all that is required.

Per Numbers 19:11 and 12, they also have to be sprinkled with the cleansing water of the red heifer sacrifice on the 3rd day and on the 7th day, or they will NOT be clean.

Jesus is our red heifer sacrifice, having been "consumed" completely at the crucifixion, outside of the city.  He is also our cleansing water.  He has already "sprinkled" His cleansing water upon us when we came into union with Him. 

Per I John 1:9, we have been cleansed from all unrighteousness (the verb tense is a complete act accomplished prior with ongoing benefit).  This verse points to a confession of sin at salvation.  John is using the word "we" speaking generally of human beings so as to not put anyone on the spot.  You see this specific use of "we" by John also in verses 8 and 10.   He is not presenting verse 9 as something for believers to continually do, otherwise believers become self-centered in their constant focus on sin, instead of being Jesus-focused (wherein we have complete forgiveness of sin) and the grace-based righteousness, holiness, blamelessness that is theirs because of our union with Jesus.

We are so completely cleansed that the scriptures even say (read Hebrews 10) that when a person rests in this reality, by faith, even their conscious is cleansed from the dead works of trying "to add to" what Jesus already fully accomplished by relying on "gnat straining/camel swallowing" petty acts of will-powered-self-centered "obedience", which will all be "torch material" at the judgement seat of Christ.  Instead, because we have been sprinkled with the cleansing water of Jesus, we can now have the eyes of our heart be only "Jesus-focused" and not "self-sin-focused".   Think of Peter walking on the water here, with his eyes only on Jesus.

So, those "gleanings" will need to be "sprinkled" with a revelation of Jesus alone, and all that He accomplished on their behalf, on that third cloud-day, and on the seventh cloud-day.  After these two "sprinklings", they will be pronounced "clean" and get to go into heavenly places as the final part of the body of Christ.

This is why the cloud-gathering place is present for 7 days.  After that 7th day, the open door John saw in heaven will be closed.  This will be December 1st, the day just before the 24th day of the 9th month on the popular jewish calendar.  This 24th day of the 9th month, per Haggai 2, is when God will then shake the heavens and the earth, and also begin to bless Israel (Haggai 2:19).  This will happen at the very start of Hanukkah.  I will touch on this more.  

The timing of our going home transitions immediately to God beginning to deal with the chosen remnant of Israel/Judah during Hanukkah.  To see when we might go home, we also have to see how God immediately focuses on Israel per the calendars and the timing of types/shadows.  This upcoming Feast of Dedication, and its prophetic fulfillment, is for the Chosen Remnant of Israel-Judah, and in particular the 144,000, not us.  We are already holy unto God because of our union with Jesus.

A week prior to this "heavens and earth shaking day" on the 24th day of the 9th month, is the 17th day of the nations' 2nd (and also 3rd) month (November 25th), the day of our wedding and when we go up to the cloud to meet with Jesus.  God will begin to judge Babylon on Noah's flood day, the 17th day of the 2nd (November 25th).  This will be the first empire-nation to be destroyed in the 7 years of judgement.  I believe Babylon will initially experience a judgment of water (likely tsunamis) per the descriptions in Jeremiah 50 and 51.  I believe one of these tsunamis with come from Hawaii that is in the center of the pregnant earth's "ring of fire".  This tsunamie will be the breaking of the water as the earth gives birth to us before birthpangs (according to Isaiah 66:7).   Later on, during that 7 day cloud-week, God will destroy Babylon completely in one day.

God will begin to judge Babylon on this 17th day of the 2nd/3rd/9th month because this is the last moment of Babylon's 70th year, before its 71st year begins.  In 1947, the UN General Assembly approved a plan for the partition of Israel.  This took place on the popular jewish calendar's 17th day of the 9th month.  Babylon's (the UN based in the US) 70 years will be over on November 25th, confirming the timing of what I am presenting in these posts!  This day is the nations' 17th day of the 3rd month, when Jesus comes down to harpatzo us.  On the equally valid calendar, it is also the 17th day of the 2nd month, the anniversary of the worldwide judgement.

November 25th is when we will see Jesus.

Going back to the subject of the gleanings, this is where some of us, after having met Jesus in the cloud on day one, will be sent back down to earth on the third cloud-day, in order to, as fountains of living water containing Jesus Himself, share the details of the gospel of Jesus with them, given the last portion of the body of Christ their necessary "third day" purifying water sprinkling.

I believe on the required day 7 of the gleanings' purifying water cleansing, those of us, who had been sent back down, will then take them up to meet Jesus Himself in the cloud, for them to receive their final "sprinkling" in Jesus' presence.  The reason some of us will be the ones to take these folks up is that the Owner of the field is not allowed to gather the gleanings Himself.  Those gleanings are meant for the poor.  I believe some of us, might be a little "empty handed" if we were to appear before the Father on day one, so He will grant those "poor" to harvest the gleanings that others have labored over long and hard, so that together we can all rejoice in what the Father has done through us.  See John 4:38.

I go into detail about this for this reason: when some of us come back down on day three, there will also be intense spiritual opposition from the evil one and his minnions to try and prevent this.  However, we will trample that oppositional conflict under our feet.  Yet, there will be a spiritual warfare on that day.

Jesus will tell those He is sending back down, "I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you".  Luke 10:19.

That third day is November 27th.  Confirming again the timing of all that I am presenting in these posts, it just so happens that on this very same "conflict day,  there is also a heavenly sign in God's constellations (This is presented by a watching brother on his Youtube channel REVELATIONCHAPTER12dotCOM in his video "After 430 days" that gives good detail of this very sign and the conflict it represents). Jupiter and Mercury are in conjunction with the Sun in the Scorpio constellation.  Jesus points to this very constellation in Luke 10:19.

This November 27th date is also 430 days from the Revelation 12 sign.  These 430 days are huge with significance.  Per Genesis 15:5 with Exodus 12:41, there are exactly 430 years, to the day, from God's promise to Abraham to when the full number of the children of Israel were brought out of Egypt.  This is a type/shadow of what I am presenting.  On November 27th, after each and every one of the Chosen Gleanings receive their first "sprinkling" by those of us sent back down, they are included in the body of Christ (the good work God has begun in them He will bring to completion on the 7th day of being "sprinkled" in Jesus' presence).  On the 3rd sprinkling day, the full number of the body of Christ are "in", 430 days after the Revelation 12 sign.
