THE RAPTURE IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT
MYSTERY REVEALED
TO THE CHURCH
Fulfillment of Hosea and Salvation
The purpose of this study is to postulate that the Rapture
Event is tied directly to the Old Testament. And that its
fulfilment is tied to its occurrence in the New Testament. One
may ask, ‘How is the Rapture seen or alluded to in Prophecy in
the Old Testament’? It is well understood that there are at
least 7 Rapture Typologies in the Bible. And this is aside
from the 7 Raptures or Translations that occur in the Last
Book of the Bible, Revelation. If one wishes to study this
Timeline, there is the Article and Chart associated with that
study.
#252: 7 RAPTURES OF
REVELATION
SUMMONSING OF THE BRIDE
The Purpose of the Raptures in Prophecy
https://www.postscripts.org/ps-news-252.html
However, there are several Rapture Typologies in the Old
Testament that are noted, as with Enoch and Elijah primarily.
There are 2 other Characters that loosely are seen as Rapture
Typologies. These are Noah and Lot. In fact, Jesus alluded to
that the End of Days would be as in the Days of Noah and Lot,
etc. If one has followed any of one’s Research into the Topic
of the Rapture Event, one will realize that one is more
convinced that it will occur during a Summer Wheat Season. If
some People argue that the Rapture Timing cannot be known,
perhaps. But consider what Jesus had to say about that Rapture
or a Rapture.
…And the Enemy who
sows them is the Devil. The Harvest is the End of the Age,
and the Harvesters are Angels. As the Weeds are collected
and burned in the Fire, so will it be at the End of the
Age. The Son of Man will send out His Angels, and they
will Weed-Out of His Kingdom every cause of Sin and all
who practice Lawlessness’. -Matthew 13:39-41
In this Verse, one wishes to only point to the Fact that the
End of the Church Age or that which will culminate in the
Return of Jesus is how that will coincide with a Harvest. One
is assuming a Summer Harvest Ending, etc. And perhaps this
might not directly imply the End of the Church Age, but rather
the End of the Tribulation Period that coincides with the
7th Rapture or Translation.
That is when Jesus, having the Sickle in Hand harvests the
Earth as He sends the Angels to gather the Elect. Now also
consider the following a more focused and Rapture Typology
that is a ‘Taken’ inference of People during a Harvest Season
again. This comes from the following Passage. It will provide
the Evidence and the Timing of when the Rapture, or more like,
a Rapture is to occur.
Concluding the Church Age
One will concede that it is not the Rapture to conclude
the Church Age though. But the Point is that when Raptures
occur, they tend to happen around a Harvest Time. And one’s
Point is that the 2 Parables that Jesus taught His Disciples
and Israela about His Return were enveloped with direct
Rapture inferences. In 1 Case, it concludes an Age. And in the
other, it concludes at a Summer Wheat Harvest Timing.
‘2 Men will be in the Feld: 1 will be Taken [Raptured] and
the other left. 3 women will be grinding at the Mil [Wheat
Harvest]l: 1 will be Taken and the other left. Therefore
keep Watch, because you do not know the Day on which your
LORD will come’. -Matthew 24:40-42
But realize that the Rapture of the Church and the Church Age
‘Intermission’, that has lasted for 2000 Years was not known
nor revealed to the Disciples or Israel. When Jesus was giving
the Olivet Discourse to His Disciples, the entire Church Age
‘Gap’ was skipped, in one’s Interpretation.
Jesus spoke in the Prophetic Context of fulfilling the
Prophecies of Daniel, for example. Jesus spoke of a yet Future
Temple and Abomination of Desolation to occur, etc. Now here
is where one will present the Argument of how the Rapture is a
fulfillment and directly linked to the Old Testament Prophecy.
Prophecy about what? Death.
___________________________
Where, O Death, Is Your Victory?
Now I declare to you, Brothers, that Flesh and Blood cannot
inherit the Kingdom of GOD, nor does the Perishable inherit
the Imperishable.
Listen, I tell you a
Mystery: We will not all Sleep,
but we will all be Changed— in an Instant, in the Twinkling
of an Eye, at the Last Trumpet. For the Trumpet will sound,
the Dead will be raised Imperishable, and we will be
Changed.
For the Perishable must be clothed with the Imperishable,
and the Mortal with Immortality.
When the Perishable has been clothed with the Imperishable
and the Mortal with Immortality, then the saying that is
written will come to pass: Death has been swallowed up in
Victory.
‘Where,
O Death, is your Victory? Where, O Death, is your
Sting?’
(Hosea 13:9–14)
The Sting of Death is Sin, and the Power of Sin is the Law.
But Thanks be to GOD, who gives us the Victory through our
LORD Jesus Christ!
Therefore, my Beloved Brothers, be Steadfast and Immovable.
Always excel in the Work of the LORD, because you know that
your Labor in the LORD is not in vain.
-1 Corinthians 15:50-58

Name Hosea: Summary
From the Verb ישע (yasha'), ‘To Save’.
The Names Hosea and Hoshea are really the same, but for
some reason People have chosen to pronounce the Name of the
Prophet Hosea slightly different than the Name of the others
of the same Name (perhaps out of Reverence; perhaps Hosea's
Father had a Speech Impediment, we do not know). That
Difference is preserved in the Masoretic Symbols but not in
the Letters of the Name. Hosea would be spelled הושׂע (See
the Dot over the W-Shaped Letter) or even הוסע, but it is
not. The Name is always spelled הושׁע; Hoshea. Besides the
Prophet Hosea, the Son of Beeri, there are 4 Hosheas
mentioned in the Bible.
הושע
Where the ה (he) at the beginning of the Name comes from is
hard to establish. It maybe the Definite Article, The
Salvation, suggesting that even though there are other
Salvations, this is the Right One. It may be a Remnant of הו
(ho), which is a kind of Exclamation like 'Alas!' or 'Aye!'.
It is used only once in the Bible and that in a Negative
Way, in Amos 5:16. But perhaps it can also be used
positively. That way the Name Hoshea would mean: Yo! Saved!
Verb ישע (Yasha')
It means to be Unrestricted and thus to be Free and thus to
be Saved (from Restriction, from Oppression and thus from
ultimate Demise). A Doer of this Verb is a Savior.
Nouns ישועה (Yeshua), ישע (Yesha') and תשועה (Teshua)
It means ‘Salvation’. The Noun תשע (Tesha'), 9, looks like
תושע (Tohasha'), he or it will cause to Save: the 3d Person
Masculine Singular Hiphil of the Verb ישע (Yasha'), ‘To
Save’.
Adjective שוע (Shoa')
It means (Financially) Independent, freed in an Economic
Sense.
Verb שוע (Shawa')
It means to Cry Out (for Salvation). Nouns שוע (shua'), שוע
(shoa') and שועה (shawa) mean a Cry (for Salvation).

______________________
Thus, this is why one is more convinced that the Apostasia
spoken about in 1 Thessalonians 4 is not about the Departure
from the Faith. It is about the Departure from Earth, as in
the Resurrection-Rapture Event. Realize that the Context was
of the Departed Loved ones Paul was comforting the
Thessalonians with.
One defers to the Apostasia implying the Departure of the
Resurrected and Raptured ones to come and to thus hope for,
not hope for a Departure of the Faith of the Church, and/or
the Bride of Christ that must endure to remain True and
Faithful, etc. Paul is comforting the newly converted
Believers at Thessalonica about their Departed Loved Ones who
have Died and were in the Faith. Paul further elaborates on
the Resurrection of Christ Jesus, the Dead, the Order of
Resurrections and the Resurrection of the Body.
Face-to-Face
Now many other Researchers of the End Times will argue that
the Word, ‘Apostasia’, when used, has always been in the
Context of Departure from the Faith. Granted. But out of the
99 Times that it has been the case, this 1 Time is where it is
at least a Double Entendre. It can go both ways. But realize
that the Departure from the Faith in the Gospel of Jesus
started from the very beginning, in Ephesus, out of all
Churches. It was not anything ‘New’ or Out of the Ordinary to
surmise. And consider that in the Greek, there is an Article,
‘The’. Does this imply then the ‘Great Departure from the
Faith’? No.
One argues that this is the 1 out 100 Times that the Apostle
Paul used Apostasia to infer the Physical Departure of the
Believers to join their Dead Loved Ones. There would be no
Reason for there to be any Hope in ‘Encouraging the Believers
with how the Church will basically descend into Decadence and
Depravity. Sure, go ahead and try to ‘Encourage’ the Believers
with that. Seriously. Realize that the Apostle Paul took the
opportunity to reveal this Mystery, ‘I show you a Mystery’
also to the Corinthians.
In the Greek, the Word for Mystery insinuates a Revelation
that had not previously been known. And this is one’s Point.
It was in the Old Testament that the Prophecy was made, but it
will be in the New Testament that it is fulfilled. In
actuality the Defeat of Death occurred at the Point and Time
of Jesus Death and Resurrection. But the Prophecy is specific
to when the Believers in Jesus, as a Corporate Body of Jesus
still on Earth, as His Ambassadors of Reconciliation are to be
Transformed as Death will no longer have a Hold on them.
And that is what and how the Resurrection and Rapture Event
fulfils the Old Testament Prophecy and Promise of how Death
would no longer have its ‘Sting’. For those that ‘Remain
Alive’ in the Last Generation, they indeed and amazingly will
not experience Death at all. They will just ‘Walk into
Eternity’ at that Trumpet Call, as they Rendezvous with the
Dead in Christ, in the Clouds to meet Jesus, Face-to-Face.
Faith will become Sight. The Prophecy of the Old Testament
will have been Completed, Fulfilled.
But so often, at every Turn, there are those who call
themselves ‘Christian’ and who ‘know’ the Bible that rain of
the Rapture Parade. They are adamite that there is no Rapture
of any sort. People who think like this, in one’s Opinion are
either ignorant, willfully ignorant, stupid or in denial. They
say something like the following.
Sorry to say but
there no Rapture happening. We are going through the
Tribulation and we need to Repent and turn back to Gods
Commandments. You need to make sure you get Baptized in
the Name of Yahushua. God loves those who follow his
Commandments.
Such Brethren may be sincere but sincerely wrong. They cannot
distinguish the Tribulation promised the Church Age, with the
Tribulation of Israel. They do not know how to delineate what
is of Israel and what is of the Church Age. Also, such
Brethren are usually of the Legalistic Type. It is always
about one’s own Works. But one’s Point is that if there is no
Rapture, then there is no Old Testament fulfilment of Prophecy
in Question. And if not, the Old Testament Prophecy will not
be fulfilled. Or what Event will the Sting of Death be
overcome, aside from the Death and Resurrection of Jesus?
Books
DAYS BEFORE THE RAPTURE
The Great Escape
The purpose of this Book is to chronicle the last days
leading up to the Rapture event and what that will look like.
There will be a variety of topics discussed and presented from
political, social, religious and esoteric sources in the
context of how they contribute prophetically to the timing of
the Rapture. It would appear that the world is vastly
different now and going through an apparent 'reeducation,
redefinition and reset'. The book will consider how the
present transformation of Humanity will see it come through on
the other side of the Rapture.
END OF THE CHURCH AGE
Conclusion of the Commission
A study of the Astronomical and Mathematical Patterns
heralding the End of the Church Age and the coming
Transference of Testimony and the witness of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. The 7-year Sabbatical Cycle of time suggests
that the Church Age is about to conclude and transfer the
Gospel Witness back to the Dispensation of Israel to finish
the 70th Week of Years. This specific time is predicated on
the Convergence of several Prophetic Timelines will be
presented to highlight this time of the Synchronization of
Biblical prophecy.
BIBLICAL PATTERNS OF PROPHECY
Divine Patterns of Christ
The purpose of this Book is to illustrate the various Divine
Patterns in the Bible whose Theme and Purpose is to Testify of
Jesus. This study attempts to ascertain some possible
Correlations in terms of Measurements and Coordinates related
to various Locations ranging from Mount Sinai, Jerusalem to
concepts as the Menorah Prophetic Pattern, the Church Age and
several Astronomical Events. These 'Hidden' Divine Blueprints
are what are seen in the Bible and how the Bible speaks about
the ultimate Purpose and Destiny of Humanity.
WRATH OF THE LAMB
Vengeance of Jesus
The purpose of this Book is to Chronicle the Reasons,
Evidence and Events that will cause the Wrath of the Lamb to
fall on Humanity. The Wrath of what Lamb? Jesus. One will
present the Evidence and Clues of what that will look like as
it is chronicled across the Daily News Wires and throughout
the Bible. But also, how it has been foretold in detail in the
Book of Revelation. What is the Wrath of the Lamb and who is
the Lamb? In the Book of Revelation, specifically, the
revealing of who this ‘Lamb’ is unveiled.
