In the parable of the 10 virgins, there is a shout that the Groom is coming, but then a period of time from the shout until the arrival. The unwise virgins try to "buy" oil from the wise but are rejected and told to go get their own. While they are trying to buy, the groom appears and they are left.
As far as the rapture, will there be a shout announcing that it's about to happen? Jesus coming for his bride the church very shortly after. I've wondered if that shout could be equated to the very start of the 2 day feast, then the new moon sighting would be the rapture. No one knows which day or hour until it happens? Just a thought. I do feel different this time compared to all other watch dates.Steve M
