The Rapture - Harvest of Believers

And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities:

the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.

And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering, for it was without number.

And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came…..” Genesis 41:47-50

Introduction

I recently wrote two Bible studies setting forth the prophetic significance of the Jewish holy days during the 7th month of the Jewish year; the month of Tishri, pointing out that the last of these holy days in that month is The Feast of Tabernacles.

These two studies are entitled, “Another view on the Last Trump,” and “Cinderella, are you ready?” I will be glad to send these studies to any of our readers who missed them.

This study is the third in this series, written as a follow up and further verification of the prophetical significance of the Jewish holy days of the 7th month ending with The Feast of Tabernacles.

In previous studies I have emphasized the significance of the Lord’s explicit declaration in Isaiah 46:9-10; that He has “declared the end from the beginning.”

If God’s people really want to know how this present dispensation is going to be concluded, then we need to look at the beginning of Israel’s history to see what the Hebrew people [and the world] experienced at that time. Now let’s step back in time to the days of Joseph in the land of Egypt…..

Bible Types & Shadows

All of our readers should be familiar with the account of Joseph interpreting the dreams of Pharaoh, the ruler of all Egypt. I have pointed out in previous studies that Joseph was a type of Christ, Egypt was a type of the world, and the Pharaoh ruling at that particular time in history was a type of God the Father. These types can easily be seen by any true believer who is serious about studying the Word of God.

Just as Joseph left his home and became a slave, so the Lord Jesus Christ left His home in glory and became a servant, Philippians 2:5-8; 2 Corinthians 8:9; John 17:5.

And just as Joseph was taken from prison and judgment and was made Lord over all the land of Egypt, so the Lord Jesus Christ was taken from the prison house of departed spirits and from the grave [resurrected] and was made Lord over all of God’s kingdom, Philippians 2:9-11; Matthew 28:18.

And, just as Joseph was given a Gentile bride by Pharaoh, so the Lord Jesus Christ has been given a Gentile bride [His church] by the Heavenly Father, John 6:37-40; 2 Corinthians 11:1-2; Ephesians 5:22-32.

I could point out many more types of Christ in the person of Joseph, but due to lack of time and space I want to emphasize only one more commonly overlooked prophetic type in this study…..

The Gathering in of the Corn

First…..What is the significance of the “corn,” and what does it typify?

The word translated as “corn” in Genesis 41:35 and 41:49 is the Hebrew word, “bar.” This Hebrew word literally means, “grain; wheat, barley, or rye; cleansed grain; that is, grain that has been cleansed or separated from the chaff.”

See Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon, page 138, Strong’s No. 1250. Joseph DID NOT gather just any “corn” into the storehouses, but rather gathered ONLY that “corn” which had been thoroughly “cleansed;” separated from the “chaff.” Compare Ephesians 5:25-27.

Second…..The “corn” that Joseph gathered is a type of God’s people; that is, true New Testament believers. Just as Joseph gathered the “corn,” so we New Testament believers have been “called out” from among the unbelievers of this world, saved by God’s grace, and “cleansed” by the precious blood of Christ.

That the “corn” in Egypt was typical of God’s people living today cannot be denied, for this truth is clearly and repeatedly set forth in the Scriptures. See such passages as Matthew 13:3-9, 13:18-23, 13:24-30, 13:36-43, Mark 4:26-29, John 12:24, 1 Corinthians 15:35-38, and many similar passages throughout the Scriptures.

Third…..Joseph gathered ALL of the “corn” in the land of Egypt BEFORE the “seven years of famine” began. Read it for yourself in Genesis 41:48, “And he gathered up all of the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt…”

Then in verses 49-50 it is explicitly stated, “And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number. And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came…” Compare Revelation 5:8-12.

It is then obvious that Joseph gathered ALL the “corn” BEFORE the seven evil years began. He didn’t miss any of it, or leave any of it behind. This is a type of the gathering of New Testament believers at the resurrection and rapture.

Believers Watch for Christ

All true believers in this present dispensation will be gathered to the Lord BEFORE the seven evil years of the Tribulation begins on the earth, 1 Corinthians 15:23.

This is a total confirmation of the Pre-tribulation Rapture of God’s people. Glory to God! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

Fourth…..WHEN did Joseph gather the “corn” into the storehouses? Remember that the Hebrew word translated as “corn” refers to grain; barley, wheat, rye, etc. WHEN were such grains normally placed in the granary or storehouse in Biblical times?

In the Book of Ruth it is explicitly stated that Ruth gleaned in the field of Boaz “…unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest…,” Ruth 2:23. It was then AFTER the end of both of those harvests that she went to Boaz and became his Gentile bride as recorded in Ruth 3.

At the time she came to Boaz [a type of Christ], he was winnowing “barley…in the threshing floor,” Ruth 3:2. This means that Boaz was separating the barley grain from the chaff, with the intention of putting only clean grain in his storehouse.

This is exactly what the Lord Jesus Christ has been doing for these past 22 years. The Lord has been separating true believers from the lost world and phony religious “professors” since 1988. See Habakkuk 2:3-4 and the transliteration of it in Hebrews 10:37-39. At the time Ruth went to Boaz there was “a heap of corn” at his feet.

[Ruth 3:7] which he had separated from the chaff by winnowing which obviously could not be numbered. Compare Genesis 41:49. How many New Testament believers have been saved and cleansed by God’s grace during this present dispensation?

I don’t know! I do know that the Scripture speaks of “…the fullness of the Gentiles…,” Romans 11:25. I suspect that this is a number of Gentile believers known only to God; a quantity which no man will be able to number. Glory to God! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

It is then obvious that Ruth went to Boaz right at the end of the Jewish harvest season. What time of year would that be? It doesn’t require much study on the part of any true believer to determine that Ruth went to Boaz and became his Gentile bride near, on, or after the Jewish “…feast of ingathering…,” Exodus 23:16; 34:22.

This Jewish festival marks the official end of the Jewish harvest season for the preceding year, and occurs on the 15th day of the 7th month of Tishri on the Jewish calendar. In other places in the Scriptures this same Jewish festival is referred to as The Feast of Tabernacles.

Now how close are we believers living today to these Jewish holy days in the month of Tishri? Well…?? Glory to God! Hallelujah!

This then is also the time of the year when Joseph “…gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number,” Genesis 41:49.

It was all completed near the time when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles would later be given to Israel in their Law [Leviticus 23:33-38], and the Scriptures clearly verify this truth. Praise the Lord!

The FULL Moon

Full Moons are often Significant in the Bible

But WHEN is the correct date for The Feast of Tabernacles? And why is this important? Because Psalm 81:3 explicitly commands the Jews to, “Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, at the time appointed on our solemn feast day.”

In the literal Hebrew text this passage reads, “Blow in the new moon the ram’s horn, at the full moon on our feast day,” [Hendrickson Interlinear Bible].

The ONLY Jewish festival that meets these qualifications this year is The Feast of Tabernacles. Look at your calendar! The full moon falls exactly on the night of September 22nd & 23rd, which is the 15th day of Tishri.

According to God’s Law in Leviticus 23:34 the 15th day of Tishri is the exact date for the beginning of The Feast of Tabernacles. The Autumn Equinox this year [2010]

ALSO falls on September 22nd & 23rd, the last day of Summer being the 22nd and the first day of Fall being the 23rd. A perfect match this year! Now read Jeremiah 8:30 and Micah 7:1-2, and “be not faithless, but believing,” John 20:27.

Now dear readers, think about this…..

September 22nd – 23rd is the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles this year!

September 22nd – 23rd is the official end of the Jewish harvest season this year!

September 22nd – 23rd is the full moon this year!

September 22nd – 23rd is when the Jews will fulfill Psalm 81:3 this year!

September 22nd – 23rd is the Autumn Equinox this year!

Is all of this just coincidence? I would remind our readers again that there is no word in the Hebrew language for “coincidence.” Glory to God! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!

Conclusion

Dear readers, Joseph gathered in the “corn,” all of the “corn,” in ancient Egypt [a type of the world] on or before The Feast of Tabernacles. The “seven years of great plenty” obviously came to an end and the “seven years of famine” began on or near that exact date.

Now take a hard, serious, look at where we are at RIGHT NOW! Is the Lord trying to tell us something? Well…??

Yes, Rosh HaShanah has past and the Lord didn’t come. So what shall we believers do? Shall we sit on our pious behinds, throw up and wring our hands, moan and groan and cry, and GIVE UP our “professed faith” and just QUIT WATCHING? Well…??

This is exactly what SOME who claim to be “Christian believers” have already let me know today by email that they fully intend to do. Sic! Well every person is an individual and is free to make their own choice. As the Scripture says, “Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind,” Romans 14:5.

As for me personally, I will give up my “blessed hope” [Titus 2:11-15] and QUIT “watching” for the coming of my Lord and Savior to resurrect and rapture His people to glory, the very first day HELL FREEZES OVER! If this statement is not clear enough then get some kindergarten child to explain it to you.

I have repeatedly stated, taught, and preached, that God’s Word is a Progressive Revelation. We believers who are seriously studying the Word know more about God’s Word today than our Christian fore fathers who lived two or three hundred years ago knew about it, because they were not living in “the time of the end,” but we are, Daniel 12:4.

Therefore, by God’s grace, I will keep right on studying the Word and searching out the end-time revelations that the Lord is opening up to His people in His Word as each day brings us closer to the coming of our Lord.

Anyone can quit! Quitting requires no brains, no initiative, no effort, and NO FAITH! Just anyone can give up and quit! Now what “camp” are you in?

May the Lord add His blessings to this study of His Word is my prayer!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TIMING OF THE EVENT WE CALL THE RAPTURE: A POSSIBLE ANSWER TO THE “DELAY” FOUND IN BIBLE CODE POSTED BY RAPTURE2009.ORG UNDER THE TITLE “NEW MATRIX”.

Much has been written about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in return for HIS CHURCH at an event known as the rapture. It is imminent, it is certain, it is in the works, it is an appointed time, it is for the born again believers, it is for the watchmen, it is for the glory of God the Father, and it is for our protection from the force of God’s wrath on a Christ hating, Christ rejecting world that will be left behind to face the awful tribulation period, which includes the WRATH OF GOD.

I do not plan to be here with those left behind ones. I know that you don’t either..so let’s get ready to go when the Lord calls. That we are going is without question or our consent, thank God. WE ARE GOING, that’s all there is to it.

“For the Lord Himself shall descend from heave with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ will rise first: Then, we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord”. I Thessalonians 4: 16, 17. (KJV).

THE SACRED FEASTS OF ISRAEL
In the scripture, there seven such feasts. They are:
Passover (Pesach)
Unleavened Bread (included in Pesach)
First Fruits (included in Pesach)
Pentecost (Shovuos)
New Year (Rosh Hoshanoh)
Atonement (Yom Kippur)
Tabernacles (Sukkos)

These seven feasts take place over a period of 280 days, the same time period as the gestation of a human child. The major development points of the human child’s development follow the same time schedule as these feasts. One could say that God stationed the sacred feasts on the same timeline as the timeline of a human child’s development.

This clearly makes Israel a “woman” and her feasts are therefore on the cycles of the moon, measured in the very same manner as the reproductive cycles of a human female. For example, Moses was instructed that Passover would be the 14th day of the first (sacred calendar) month and it is a fact that from the union of man and woman until conception occurs is 14 days. This follows through the entire 280 days developmental period of a human child.

Now, every year the Hebrew people observed these feasts exactly on time. Although sometimes the full meaning of them escaped them, ESPECIALLY THE LAST FEAST…TABERNACLES.

THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES (SUKKOS)

Rather than produce a study of these seven feasts, I want to concentrate of the seventh and last one of the sacred cycle. Most of you understand that the Hebrews had two years eventually…the sacred year which ran from fourteen days before Passover to the start of the first month in which Passover would be observed, or one LUNAR year.

This year was called the sacred calendar year. The second was from New Year, also called Rosh Hoshono to the next Rosh Hoshono which was also a full year and was called the civil year. So, when one speaks ofabout the Jewish year, one has to specify which one he or she means.

The civil year is normally compared to our year, such as right now, Hebrew 5770 is underway because it either began last April on our calendar, or September on our calendar depending on which Hebrew year you are looking at. The sacred feasts, were, of course, on the April to April cycle.

The Feast of Tabernacles was seven days in length and was the Autumn Festival. There was an eighth day added to it, but was not a part of it. More will be said a bit later.

The prior seven days constituted the Feast of Tabernacles. It was a joyous occasion which gave us the idea of our Thanksgiving, as it celebrated the ingathering of the crops from both field and orchard. Back in ancient times it was considered to be the beginning of the year.

It has had several names, for example the Festival of Ingathering, the Festival of Booths, and it was even called God’s Festival. So important was this Festival, that the prescribed regulations required every male to make a pilgrimage to this one. When the Temple of Solomon was erected in Jerusalem, this was the first Festival celebrated there.

While this Festival could be celebrated in other places than Jerusalem, the city was, of course, the preferred site as the Temple itself was there. Both Pesach (Passover) and Sukkos (Tabernacles) were widely attended by the population as a requirement of observance under the Jewish law.

The pilgrims erect tents or “booths” from foliage or material that can house them for a period of time. They arrive early and have a sort of “vacation” before the first day because they also observe the Feast of Yom Kippur (Atonement) just five days before this Feast begins. New Year was ten days before that, i. e. the civil year called Rosh Hashonoh. The atmosphere by the time Sukkos begins is joyful. From Rosh Hoshonoh to the last of Tabernacles is 21 days length.

Every day there are ceremonial rites performed. People are occupied every minute of time. He that wished to observe all the ceremonies and services of the Festival would not have had time to close an eye; and would barely have had time to eat. Sleep would be very sparse during this week.

THE FESTIVAL ENDS

These ceremonies are repeated every day. On the morning of the seventh day, however, the priests march around the altar seven times instead of just once as in prior days. They proceed to beat the ground with their willow branches. This is the official end of Sukkos and the children seize and dismember the the tents and booths and eat whatever citrons are there.

In the evening of the seventh day, a host of Jews stand in the court, watching intently to see the direction in which the smoke from the sacrificial fire will blow. It is an omen for the success of the coming agricultural year. It was a crude weather forecast system that had surprisingly true results usually.

It is now evening and the lights flare up. The Temple is ablaze with torchlight. On the fifteen steps that lead from the Court of Women to the Court of the Laymen stand Levites, bearing harps, cymbals, flutes, trumpets, and other instruments; they play, and as they play, they sing the Psalms of Ascents.

It turns to almost morning. The Levites have retired. The people chant Psalm after Psalm. At the top of the stairs stands two priests, with silver trumpets in hand. Suddenly a rooster crows and that is the signal for the priests to blow the three calls. They then march down ten steps and blow again.

They march all the way down and, blowing yet a third time, they march across the court to the massive eastern gate of the Temple. They turn and, with their backs to the gate, recite, “Our forefathers stood on this spot with their backs to God’s house and with their faces to the east and worshipped the sun….but we turn to God and our eyes always turn to God”

As the dawn appears, the gates of the massive eastern doorway are opened and the assembled congregation goes out into the valley of Kidron, from which point they depart for home.

The next day, the eighth which was attached to but not a part of the Feast, there was a general repeat of the first day. The priests that attended this were assigned to do so as a requirement of service. Those who could not or did not attend the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles thus had an opportunity to at least participate in the very important first day.

In Jesus day, as He taught and withstood the Pharisees at the Feast of Tabernacles, John 7:37 records that “in the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying, ‘if any man thirst let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water’”.

It is now necessary to do a quick summary of the “replacement” feast that overtook the great Feast of Tabernacles and became one of the most important festivals in Jewish history.

THE FEAST OF HANUKKOH

This festival is said to be a commemorative one honoring the liberation of the Temple from Syrian hands in circa 166 B. C. In Jesus day, it was referred to as the Feast of the Dedication (John 23: 10). During the three years of bitter conflict between the Syrians under Antiochus Epiphanes and the Hasmoneans under Judas Maccabeas, the Temple observance of Sukkos (Tabernacles) was not allowed.

After a long and bitter struggle, Maccabeas ousted the Syrians and recaptured the city and the temple. In celebration of this, a feast was born called Chanukkoh and It was celebrated just as Sukkos was with the singing of the Hallel and the waving of the palm branches. It became SECOND SUKKOS in the minds of the worshippers. It lasted eight days with the Hallel being included in every day of the Festival.

So popular did this festival become in short order that the priests determined that if Chanukkoh were to become a universal festival for all Jews (as they wished) and for all time, it could NOT be allowed to remain a SECOND Sukkos. It was therefore made the festival of the re-dedication of the Temple and thus its name Chanukkoh, which means dedication. Because Moses and Solomon both had held dedication services relating to the Temple, this dedication became AS IMPORTANT AS THEIRS IN THE MINDS OF THE JEWS.

Josephus was the first writer to mention the kindling of the Lights during Chanukkkoh. Through ancient records, the story of the kindling of the lights from a single flask of consecrated oil emerged. It was said that only one flask with the seal of the High Priest could be found when Judas Maccabeas rededicated the reopened Temple.

The others had been defiled by Antiochus. This miraculous multiplication of the oil caused the event to take on special meaning in the life of the Jewish nation, especially since it involved no less than the reopening of the Jewish Temple. After two millennia, now, the “not so important” feast has emerged as one of the GREATEST FEASTS OF ISRAEL.

This lengthy explanation of the two Feasts is necessary to establish just one fact. That is, that the Feast of Chanukkoh became familiar to the Jews as SECOND TABERNACLES AND EVEN REPLACED IT IN THE MINDS OF THOSE WORSHIPPERS. I, for one, had no idea that this Feast was so important, but it is, even today.

When Jesus was on earth, it is recorded in John 7:37 that He was at the Feast of Dedication when He declared that “My sheep hear My voice, and they follow me. And I give to them eternal life”.

I love the Lord very much and I have spent my entire adult life trying to serve Him, minus a couple of very bad falls. But then, who among us has not experienced this? I find such beauty in the designs of our God, especially in the type pictures presented by the sacred feasts of Israel.

These picture, of course, our Lord Jesus Christ, the central figure of the entire Bible. All revolves around Him and His work in redemption of fallen mankind. My earnest desire is that all people would or could somehow come to a saving knowledge of Him now, but as you all know, this will simply not be the case.

So, I comfort myself with the rationale that if Jesus would come today, the time that more babies would die, more children would be abandoned to the world system’s ways, and more adults would die in their sins would have only limited number of days left. At least, during that awful time called the tribulation and then the great tribulation, they could have a fighting chance to survive the fires of hell.

A SUPPOSITION AND A POSSIBILITY

SUPPOSE that the Feast of Tabernacles was actually REPLACED in the MIND OF GOD ALMIGHTY by the Feast of Dedication. After all, He said that these people (Jews) were near to Him with their lips, but far away in their hearts. YHWH threatened to take away their Sabbaths and new moons because of it. What could this mean to them and to us if true?

I think that it is POSSIBLE that those who felt that the rapture would be tied to Tabernacles in 2009, just as I did, may have been on to something. But which Tabernacles? Evidently we will want to look to SECOND Tabernacles, called Chanukkoh and sometimes the Feast of Lights.

It occurs in December just about the time of the winter solstice.Sometimes in a swing Jewish year, it is after the solstice but normally before. This year it begins on December 11 on our Gregorian calendar and runs for seven plus one days for a total of eight days.

Any one of those days might be the day, or none of them, but the FIFTH day is the day, both in the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkos) and in the Feast of the Dedication (Chanukkoh) that the Temple was lit up. Also,The SEVENTH day would correspond then, to the day of the removal of booths, as we saw above in Tabernacles, which may be a picture of our change at the rapture.

That fifth day date would be December 15 on our calendar, and the seventh day date would be December 17, three days BEFORE the winter solstice of December 21.

My SUPPOSITION is that we should trim our lamps and get ready for the Lord’s return immediately. In the Bible Code posted under “New Matrix” at www.rapture2009.org, the date of 9/21/09 was identified. But beside it was the word “delayed”.

I think that it is POSSIBLE that the delay in this case may be from Rosh Hashonoh to the last day of Chanukkoh. The count of days inclusive is 88 or 89 if the eighth day is included. It would therefore end on December 18 or 19, very near the winter solstice, but still in the FALL of 2009 on our calendar. This delay, if so, would break down somewhat like this:

9/21/09…..21 days delay (Dan 10)…10/11/09 inclusive count.
From 10/12/09 ….60 days…..12/11/09 Feast of Chanukkoh, first day inclusive count.
From 12/11/09….7 days… 12/18/09 last day of Chanukkoh inclusive count.
12/19/09….1 day…12/19/09 eighth day attached to but not part of Chanukkoh.
The “delay” found accompanying the Bible Code Matrix identifying 9/21/2009 may possibly be these days.
Of course only time will tell. I hope along with you all that His blessed return is SOON.

In His Service and watching
Gerry Almond

Like many of my fellow believers, I too get the sense that Christ’s return is VERY soon – closer than we imagine. Here’s quick note a watcher posted at 5 doves.

From 5doves

These past couple of days of been exciting and very trying!!!!

I would like to give a few words of encouragement for what they are worth. I BELIEVE HE IS COMING WITHIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS. Here are some thoughts under consideration;

THERE HAS BEEN MUCH CONTROVERSY OF JUST WHEN THE MOON WAS A FULL MOON. On October 4th I read on the website it was at 2:10 AM. If that is true, that should have been the beginning of Feast of Tabernacles which lasts for a 7 day count taking us to Sat. Sunday and Monday are the last two days..which were added.

If this is the case…then the rapture should happen at anytime here in the US after MIDNIGHT TONIGHT…WHICH WOULD BE THE 12TH…IF THIS BE SO…On the 12th…Monday could be the timing of the “DEAD IN CHRIST TO RISE FIRST” and on

Tuesday the 13th would be “THOSE WHO ARE AlIVE AND REMAIN WILL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR”.

Early this year Glorybound posted a message on RAPTURE NOW OF WHICH SHE STATED THAT THE lORD TOLD HER THE RAPTURE WOULD LAST FOR TWO DAYS OR SO. The dead raised on a Monday and those who are alive on a Tuesday.

Jewish weddings always took place on a Tuesday..like the Wedding at Cana of Galilee in John 2. Ola Ilori has posted many message on Five Doves of which he is looking for the rapture to happen on Monday the 12th and this would hold true…even if the “dead in Christ rose first”.

The rapture the Lord has said is in two parts…the first being the dead to rise and then those who are alive and remain. It could be the dead have already risen…although I think not.

On the fall of 2007 I was given some numbers from the Lord that would tell Chris and I just when the rapture would take place. I have mentioned this before but I think they are worth mentioning again. I was given the number 7 and below the number 4 and below that the number 12..(like I was to add them together)

I tried that year and needless to say I did not come up with a possible TIMELINE. HOWEVER, I WAS SURE THOSE NUMBERS HAD MEANING and possible for a future time. They did not have any meaning in 2008..as nothing fit those number. Just recently..that is the past two weeks and particuarly this week I believe the Lord had me look at my calendars..This is what I came up with.

The number 7 stands for either the 7th month or 7th festival of which is Tabernacles…the number 4 stands for the 4th day…the day of the full moon..the beginning of Tabernacles and number 12 stands for the 12th which is Monday. Also if you add the 7 and 4 you get 11 which is today..Sunday..and on the THIRD DAY is the rapture date..Tuesday…the THIRD DAY OF THE WEEK.

ALSO IF YOU ADD ALL THREE NUMBERS YOU GET 23 WHICH IS THE JEWISH DAY FOR TODAY THE 11TH. on July 25th I was told I was surrounded by purple which relates I understand to Feast of Tabernacles and was told at that time I would soon be meeting with my Guardian Angel of which I understand they will be with us when we are raptured.

July 25th on the Jewish calendar which is this Wednesday, October 13th..(7-25.).the same time period as a lady by the name of Nancy was told we WOULD BE DELIVERED and I believe someone else was given that date. I understand that the 12th is the LAST GREAT DAY OF THE FESTIVAL.

I would also like to inform anyone who has visited www.choothomas.com over the past couple of years is no longer in operation. I visited it last week, however on Sat. the 12th it was no longer in operation…the only thing that she has now posted is her testimony…her book and a message on the AC and her latest message on salvation and the rapture.

She has had many visits since her book was published in 2003 by the Lord and I understand these metings take place as of yet on a weekly basis. She warned us this summer of the impending rapture and to BE READY. She probably knows more than we do and has closed shop except for those who visit who need to read the messages of the rapture and salvation even after the rapture.

If you follow the messages on ft111.com/eagles.htm….there has been none except Mary Ellen Gilliland and Susan M….This is most unusual….something has to soon give!!!!!!

KEEP LOOKING UP, FOR OUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH”.

John, I would appreciate it if you could post this. I WASN’T PLANNING ON WRITING THIS BUT I BELIEVE THE lORD WANTED ME TO.

GOD BLESS…MARANATHA..Virginia

October 7, 2009

Oh come! Come to the Feast on Zion. Rise up, forget your people, your past and where you came from. Come unto Me. Come to the wedding feast, the Supper of the Lamb. Arise, My beloved, and come.

All the prophetic streams of God come together now to feed the River of Life. All that’s been told of the bride, all spoken of the Bridegroom, all summons and calls, all instruction for preparation comes into fulfillment now. Therefore I rejoice. I ask you to rejoice with Me as at a rehearsal dinner when the bride rejoices with the bridegroom. All preparation is done now. She relaxes into the flow of the events of the wedding.

Let it be a seven-day feast, not unlike the Feast of Tabernacles. Let the marriage of God to His people take place, for every preparation has been made. The heart of the bride is purified and ready. Let her turn from her past now and her past affiliations, old ties, and look up into the eyes of her Bridegroom to embrace the new, her new life. Let it be says the Lord. Oh, let it be.
