T.W. Tramm – (10/24/25)

JESUS said that when He returns, it will be like the “days of Noah” (Matt 24:37). One way this is true is that the Flood has parallels to the Rapture:

• Both occur on an unexpected day (Matt. 24:36–39).

• Both occur when people are involved in regular activities (Matt. 24:38, 39).

• Both are an escape from judgment (Gen. 7:7; Luke 21:36).

• Both involve a place of refuge with many rooms (Gen. 6:14; John 14:2).

  •

• Jacob lived in Egypt for 17 years before departing to be with the Lord (Gen. 47:28).

• Both involve the shutting of a door, with many being locked out (Gen. 7:13–16; Matt. 25:10–12).

• Both involve a return to earth after a period of judgment (Gen. 8:4; Rev. 19:11–16).

Another way the Flood points to the Rapture is by the date, Cheshvan 17, or the number 17:

The 17th day is when Jesus, the head of the Church, was resurrected (1 Cor. 15:20).

• The 17th day is when the Hebrews escaped Egypt, via the parting of the Red Sea, a picture of the rapture-escape (Ex. 14:21–31).

• Jeremiah paid 17 shekels for a field because the Jubilee, or year of redemption, was near (Jer. 32:6–9).

• The most quoted rapture verse is numbered 17: “We who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds” (1 Thess. 4:17).

• 17 is a factor of 153, the number of fish “caught up” and brought to the Lord (John 21). Moreover, as a triangular number, 153 is the sum of the first 17 integers.

• 17 is the 7th prime number, making it the “perfect” prime.

• 17 is the sum of the two perfect numbers 10 and 7, signifying double perfection.

• The sum of the digits of 17 (1 and 7) is 8, a number linked to resurrection and new beginnings

  (Mark 16:9; 1 Pet. 3:20).

  •

Cheshvan 17 is the founding date of the UN, the organization whose mission is to maintain

international “peace and security.” People saying, “Peace and security,” is a sign that the Rapture

is near (1 Thess. 4:15–17; 5:3).

• Cheshvan 17 is when the Sun, a symbol of Jesus the Bridegroom, is in the constellation Libra, the Scales that signify judgment (Ps. 19:5; Dan. 5:27). The ultimate judgment is the Rapture, when the righteous are separated from the wicked.

• Cheshvan 17 is when the Fall of Man occurred, per the Book of Jubilees, making it a logical time for the rapture-redemption. Viewing the date of the Fall and Flood as a possible redemption date, it is significant that Adam died as a consequence of the Fall 726 years before the Flood in 1656 AM. Strong’s Greek #726 is the word harpazó, which means to be “caught up,” as at theRapture (1 Thess. 4:17)--------------------------------

----------------------------The Trumpets–9/23 connection is significant because 2025 is the only year between 2006 and 2044 that the festival lands on this date. Moreover, Trumpets 2025 saw a prophetic convergence that elicited worldwide attention, even in the secular realm, fulfilling the festival theme, “Day of the Awakening Blast.”
