"The final and clear confirmation --- 7th day of Tabernacles Rapture – “Hoshannah Rabba”"


 
Doves,
The following study is from my friend and brother-in-Christ, Corey. I certainly hope that he is right, and that Renee M. is right about the 7th day of Tabernacles being our day of redemption. I think you will be blessed and encouraged by this study. God bless you all!

The final and clear confirmation --- 7th day of Tabernacles Rapture – “Hoshannah Rabba”

The Lord just revealed this to me tonight and it blew my mind!
We know during the 7th day of Tabernacles, the priests would “circle” the great altar 7 times. They would circle it once a day for the first 6 days, then on the 7th day, they would circle it 7 times. The scripture teaches that God “made a new thing in the Earth, that a Woman should compass (circle) a Man”. This command was directly connected to the Jewish Nisuin service in which the bride was taken to the Huppah and there she began to encirlce her groom 7 times!
Now, here is the revelation…

First off, we know that when we are raptured, we appear before the judgment seat of Christ for rewards. The word seat is the greek word “Bema” meaning “raised platform” where the judge would sit! When will this ceremony of the bema seat take place?

It is revealed in his ancient people of Israel for “God declares the end from the beginning”…

Now, on the 7th day of Tabernacles, or “Hoshannah Rabba”, the priesthood would…
“Include circling the Bima (platform) seven times, lulav and etrog in hand.”
http://www.aish.com/h/su/wt4s/48971456.html
“A bimah is the elevated area or platform in a Jewish synagogue which is intended to serve the place where the person reading aloud from the Torah stands during the Torah reading service.”

“While the original meaning of the word referred to the platform, the table from which the Torah scroll is read can also be referred to as the bimah”
This Hebrew PLATFORM in the center of the Jewish synagouge called the “Bimah” is typically elevated by two or three steps…

This platform, if you not got it yet, is the New Testament “BEMA SEAT PLATFORM” that Christ will sit on during the BEMA SEAT JUDGEMENT!!!

Remember the greek word “bema” literally means RAISED PLATFORM and the Hebrew platform from which the scrolls were read in the temple was a RAISED PLATFORM!!!!!! This raised platform is used as a “reading” platform for holy books! 

The ark is opened and one of the congregants removes a Torah scroll and holds it at the bima (raised platform)…
One of the congregants reminds me of “Who is worthy to open the scrolls”….ONE….The lamb who was slain!

At the morning service of Hoshana Rabba, the 7th day of Tabernacles, the men carry their lulavs and and circle the bima seven times!!!
The Bema seat judgment of Christ is CLEARLY PICTURED by the Hoshannah Rabba service or the 7th day of Tabernacles, where the priesthood would CIRLCE THE BIMA PLATFORM WHERE CHRIST SITS 7 TIMES while ONE congregant would OPEN THE SCROLL. Who is worthy to OPEN THE SCROLL? ONE!!!

On this day, ALL of the Torah scrolls were taken OUT OF THE ARK, and READ BY ONE WHO WAS WORTHY ON THE RAISED PLATFORM (BIMA or BEMA IN THE GREEK) while the priesthood circles the RAISED OR ELEVATED PLATFORM 7 times!!!

This is BEYOND symbolic of the day that the church (holy priesthood) circles the Bema Seat or RAISED platform 7 times like in the beginning of the Jewish wedding, while the ONE CONGREGANT WHO IS WORTHY (JESUS) will OPEN THE ARK OF THE COVENANT (7th day of Tabernacles) is only day this occurs…

This Bima table or raised platform will be used to read from the scrolls on when Jesus “opens the scrolls and breaks the seals”…while the bride en-circles him 7 times, during the BEMA SEAT JUDGMENT!!!

Also, the “BIMA” comes from beema, meaning “altar”

Well, if they circles the BIMA PLATFORM on Hoshanah Rabba 7 times…They are literally CIRCLING THE ALTAR 7 times and on the 7th day of Tabernacles…

That is exactly what they did on the 7th day, CIRCLE THE GREAT ALTAR 7 times, which prophetically speaking, is the BEMA SEAT JUDGMENT OF CHRIST, where Jesus will bear the ARK OF THE COVENANT, OPEN IT and take the scrolls from it and begin BREAKING the SEALS!...While we the church en-CIRCLE HIM 7 times!!!

Bottom line, this is CLEAR symbolism and inspired Jewish tradition that isolates the Bema seat judgment of Christ and the breaking of the seals by removing the scrolls from the ark (ONLY DONE ON HOSHANAH RABBA by the way)...and the circling of the groom (which will be AT THE GREAT ALTAR, the BEMA SEAT PLATFORM) 7 times…Because the priesthood would circle the GREAT ALTAR or the BIMA SEAT while ONE PERSON opens the ark and takes out the SCROLLS…

All this on the “day of IN-GATHERING”…The 7th day, which is October 6th/ 7th, 2012!!!
Praise the Lord, see you then!!!
