When is the Rapture ?
Jesus is coming 2016 ^ | current | Jesus is coming 2016

Posted on 12/23/2013 7:16:44 PM PST by Uri’el-2012

Why I believe the Rapture of the Church

will take place between December 25, 2013,

and January 4, 2014

The Lord has been giving me pieces to a puzzle for the last 13 years, leading me to the date for the firstfruits Rapture of the Church. The puzzle ends between December 25, 2013, and January 4, 2014. I very strongly believe that the Rapture will take place on January 3/4, 2014. However, it is possible that the puzzle can end as early as December 25, 2013.

The “other Sheep” of John 10 were the Lost sheep of the House of Israel.

The ‘pen’ which he was in was Judah.

Matthew 10:

[1] And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
[2] Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
[3] Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
[4] Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
[5] These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
[6] But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.


Matthew 15:

[22] And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
[23] But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
[24] But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

.
What the Angels longed to look into was their own access to salvation.

You are making it sound like Irishmen cannot be Yeshua’s sheep.

I can see that, however the trumpets and vials are Heaven initiated. You don’t see those as judgments or God’s Wrath pour out on earth?

You can say that all of it is under Yehova’s control!

The seals don’t contain any of God’s wrath, just man’s iniquity. The wrath of Yehova all comes after Yom Teruah, beginning right then.

Gentile = Goyim = “out of covenant.”

Whoever is out of covenant, regardless of their lineage, is a Gentile.

Yes, the ‘Greeks’ were out of covenant, both their Hebrew element and the non-hebrew element.

Revelation contains several parenthetical “meanwhile-back-at-the-ranch” overviews that can be confusing unless you pay strict attention to where they begin and end.

Not just living among gentiles; they were gentiles (Goyim = out of covenant)

What are you doing, playing semantics...That's like saying evryone who is not a Russian citizen is not a Russian citizen...

Of course everyone in the world is out of the Jewish covenant, Israel and Judah included...Does that make everyone in the world non covenant Jews???

The church is not a new covenant...So the Jews and Gentiles who come into the church are still out of covenant...So what???

Joh_7:35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

You can see what the verse says...Apparently you don't like it that way so you change it to:

Joh_7:35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the (dispersed/out of covenant) among the (out of covenant), and teach the (out of covenant)?

It doesn't really matter because the verse clearly shows us that the dispersed/out of covenant are very different from those just out of covenant (if there was such a thing)...

1. goyim
1. A Hebrew word used in the Jewish Scriptures (a.k.a. the Old Testament). The word literally means "nations," and is always used within these scriptures to refer to the nations of the world. Significantly, within the Old Testament, Judah (the Jewish nation) itself is called a "goy."

2. In the Old Testament, the Jews were called to be a nation separate from the other nations, which were all Pagan. And so, colloquially, all non-Jewish nations came to be called "goyim" as in "the nations" from which the God of the Old Testament had called upon the Jews to separate themselves.

3. A word used by some Jews to refer to Gentiles (non-Jews). The word can have derogatory connotations, such as the word "black" when used to refer to a persons of African descent. It can be neutral or negative depending on the context and the intent of the speaker.

I believe the Bible uses “goy” as the neutral “nation”. It is Yiddish that uses “goy” as a pejorative.

The term “Jew” doesn’t have an official status. Religiously, the official term is “b’nei Yisrael” (Children of Israel).

You’re just throwing a pile of dust, sand and gravel, in hopes of making the parts that make you uncomfortable less visible.

Well isn't that odd??? You cherry pick a verse and try to build something out of it and I post all the scripture showing the context...Now tell us again who is throwing the dust???

Your “context” did nothing to modify what I posted, hence your dust.

Can’t imagine why they couldn’t just let the man die anyway.

The sixth seal is obviously judgment and wrath. Hardly, merely the iniquity of man.

Wow, I just got Chuck Missler’s new package on Angel’s (part 3).

He sited Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri and his prophesy about Sharon...

along with the weird stuff going on with the Vatican actively searching for a “savior” from “another planet”.

.
Wrong.

The 6th seal is an aerial thermonuclear attack.

I do not claim to know whether it is global, or just affecting Jerusalem. But it is very much the actions of men.

Thanks for the ping Uri'el-2012!

We are in the season of the Rapture happening (there is nothing prophetic that has to happen before the Rapture, unlike the Second Coming), and with the speed with which the birth pangs (for the Tribulation) are occurring right in front of us, the Rapture is definitely imminent. It could absolutely happen in the dates that you have given!

I know that you probably already know about this, but if you have some time, take a look at this:

HAS GOD GIVEN US A MODERN DAY METHUSELAH WHOSE DEATH WILL BRING THE TRIBULATION AND COMING JUDGMENT?

It's an extra-Biblical prophecy, and you can make of it what you will, but we know that no demonic spirit would ever tell anyone that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, and with all the other signs Jesus gave for the Tribulation happening right now, and Ariel Sharon in critical condition, this may turn out to be something to watch.

Yes, Uri'el-2012, we need to keep looking up - Jesus told us that when all these things begin to happen, which they are, our redemption is drawing near!
