Rapture Bible Prophecy Forum

(Rapture is a Vatican/Jesuit Lie )
The "Resurrection" has been erroneously labeled The "Rapture". 
THERE IS NO RAPTURE

WHY THE TITLE RAPTURE BIBLE PROPHECY FORUM?
WE STARTED OUT BELIEVING IN A 7 YR PRE TRIBULATION RAPTURE
BUT FOUND OVER TIME AROUND 2006 THAT THE BIBLE DOES NOT SHARE A 
BIBLE VERSE WHATSOEVER INDICATING A 7 YR PRE TRIBULATION RAPTURE

BIBLE VERSES EVIDENCE:

While Yahusha/JESUS was alive, He prayed to His Father: "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.  John 17:15 (KJV)

Yahusha/JESUS gave signs of what must happen before His Return:  "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:"  Matt. 24:29 (KJV)


WE DAILY STUDY TO SHEW OURSELVES APPROVED

When the Manna Stops

The Completion of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb
Rapture Clues from the Typology of Exodus to the Promised Land & the Passover

‘He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the Hidden Manna to eat…’ -Revelation 2:17

The purpose of this study, with illustrated chart is to present a hypothesis about when the ‘season’ of the Rapture, if not the actual timing of it, could take place. At the core of the hypothesis is that, perhaps, the Rapture of the Church could occur at a similar timing as a type & shadow of the LORD’s Supper that occurred on the Eve of the Passover. Perhaps the Rapture sequence may be in such a fashion as to mirror when the Israelites crossed into the Promised Land at the very precise time that the Passover occurred & thereafter the Manna stopped.

This assertion is purely based on a typological study that could be connected to when & why the Biblical phenomenon of Manna stopped. The Book of Joshua chapter 5:11, states that the daily provision of Manna stopped on the 3rd day after Israel entered the Promised Land. This occurred on the day after Israel celebrated the Passover for the 1st time in the Promised Land since the Exodus out of Egypt.

What is striking is that the Israelites left Egypt immediately after the Passover & came into the Promised Land at a Passover. It has been well researched that this Journey of the Israelites through the Wilderness is a picture or ‘type’ of the comprehensive & prophetic Redemption Plan of GOD. But it can also perhaps allude to the timing of when the Rapture will consummate the Glorification of the Believers in Jesus Christ.

This study will stipulate that the events of crossing over into the Promised Land through the River Jordon at the time of the Passover are possible clues for when the timing of the Rapture of the Church could possibly take place. This study will rely heavily on metaphors of past Biblical events. These events will primarily encompass the Exodus, the Sojourn out of Egypt, the Entrance to the Promise Land & the LORD’s Supper event to provide context.

This study is only an attempt to make comparisons, analogies & correlations. This study is not intended to speculate on a specific year or feast, but that a particular sequence leading up to the feast -Passover in particular, might just fulfill the prophetic types & shadows of the Rapture of the Church. The Bible does say that such types & shadows are given to instruct us of when the Church, in like manner, will be led across the ‘Jordon River’ & into the Promised Land of Glory.

Types & shadows
If the Exodus from Egypt & entering into the Promised Land are a type & shadow of the ‘Journey of Faith’ and/or the Church Age, as many Bible researchers believe, then perhaps it would mirror the timing of the Rapture as it could possibly occur before a given Passover celebration. Why? Because it was at a Passover season of timing that the Manna stopped. As the Israelites were encircling Jericho, some of the grain was able to be harvested off the land in preparation for the Grain Wave Offering for the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

The cessation of the Manna for Israel occurred after the 1st celebrated Passover in the Promised Land. Thereafter the Battle of Jericho ensued for 7 days. What you have here are 2 timelines overlapping each other. You have one 7 Day period constituting the Passover Week while at the same time, the Battle for Jericho is occurring for 7 days. It can be seen as the LORD preparing a table & meal before the literal enemies that King David spoke about in Psalm 23.

This would be echoed prophetically as Christ & His Disciples celebrated a meal in similar fashion. The LORD’s Supper was that meal; a prepared table before the true enemies of the LORD & mankind right before Jesus, like Joshua assaulted the ‘Walls of Jericho’ at the Cross of Calvary. The victory through the death, burial & resurrection of the LORD ensured that the ‘walls’ of sin & separation that kept mankind from the LORD came down.

To reiterate, as the Manna stopped at or immediately after the 1st Passover once Israel entered the Promised Land perhaps likewise the LORD’s Supper that occurred immediately before the Passover is when the Church Age will perhaps stop. This window of time is thus when the Rapture must follow, if the ‘prophetic parallels’ are sound.

PROPHETIC PARALLELS
The following are certain key sequences of events that could be possible prophetic parallels of events. These could allude to some possible clues as to the timing or sequence of the Rapture –as types.There does appear that to be several events that show prophetic parallels.

1) The going out of Egypt on Passover to the entering of the Promised on Passover

2) The crossing of the Red Sea going out of world & crossing the Jordon river into the Land
3) The LORD’s Supper was actually a beginning of a Marital Contract, to be completed
4) The Marital Contract will be consummated by the Rapture, at a Passover season thereafter in the Promised Land of Heaven or Kingdom
5) As the Groom left Upper Room at Midnight to travail in prayer & battle, so shall He return at Midnight
6) There are alignment of important mountains, Mt. Horeb to Mt. Nebo; 2 mountains Moses ascended
7) There is an alignment of Mt. Nebo with Mt. Calvary; Moses was only allowed to see this from East of Jordon
There were contingents of the LORD’s people that preferred to stay out of the Promised Land that perhaps could allude to some Believers being left behind
9) Passover lasts for 7 Days as was the circling of Jericho for 7 days
10) Passover was prepared in the presence of Jericho, a type of the ‘enemy’, so to the LORD’s Supper was a prophetic ‘Prepared Table’ before the Cross

To help in the illustration of this study:

1) A Crucifixion Clock will be show the approximate hours of events that transpired from the Preparation Day or LORD’s Supper to the Death of the LORD. These events are taken from the Gospel accounts. The ‘clock’ will be multilayered as it will encompass the Jewish Watches of the Day, the Jewish reckoning of time that starts days at sunset, around 6pm.

2) A map will show the timeline with assumed dates of when Israel crossed the Jordon River. The timing shows when the Passover was celebrated. In-between that time & the assault on Jericho, (7 day battle) the grain from the Promised Land was for the first time cut & prepared for the Grain Offerings thereafter.

3) A 3D map of the Sinai peninsula will help illustrated the projected journey of Israel to the Promised Land. The accounts are taken from the Book of Genesis but with alternate interpretations of where the actual Red Sea crossing occurred & where the real Mt. Sinai or Mt. Horeb is at.



4) A timeline of the Passion Week will also be presented but with an alternative view of the timing of the historical sequence of events. The days are believed to be complete 24 hour day to night duration. The traditional understanding of ‘Sabbaths’ has contributed to a misunderstanding of when the LORD actually was crucified, buried & risen. The timeline stipulates that the Crucifixion was on a Wednesday making the Resurrection on a Sabbath afternoon.

The Passion Week Timing
The actual date & timing of the Passion Week is in scholarly dispute. The traditional year is AD 33 although there are alternative views & explanations of when the Crucifixion actually took place. The timeline presented for this study is assuming a literal 24-hour day count nonetheless. This would make the traditional Friday Crucifixion impossible as the Resurrection would coincide with a Monday afternoon despite arguments proposing that changes from the Julian to Gregorian calendars make it possible.

This study holds to the fact that there were 3 -24hr day counts after the death of the Messiah -at 3pm per the Sign of Jonah. The Passover happened to be considered a Sabbath in itself. This means that Christ rose on Feast of Unleavened Bread in the afternoon ~3pm on the weekly Sabbath; from a Sabbath to a Sabbath. The Death & Burial occurred before Passover was to begin at sunset Aviv 15. During this time, Jesus becomes the literal fulfillment of the Afikomen; scourged but not broken & hidden.


There are other assertions that incorporate Eclipses during the Crucifixion. All Gospel accounts do state that at Midday, the sky was totally darkened-for about 3 hours from 12pm to 3pm. The only Total Solar Eclipse occurred during that possible hour range from 12 Noon to 3pm was on MAR 19, AD 33 at 1:40pm but it only lasted about 4min. This date is therefore another popular date given for the Crucifixion. But the Passover is determined by the 1st Full Moon after the Spring Equinox. Passover always starts with a Full Moon, meaning no Solar Eclipses could possibly occur. However Lunar Eclipses can & have occurred on a Passover timetable.

There was a Total Lunar Eclipses that complimented the actual timing of the possible Crucifixion date. On APR 25, AD 31 a Wednesday, a Total Lunar Eclipse was rising above the Jerusalem horizon. This Total Lunar Eclipse would fit & be in sync with the presented timeline. Again this is only a speculative assertion. But if this was indeed the actual date of the Crucifixion, as the Passover Meal celebration was concluding, the Eclipse would have occurred as if to ’punctuate’ this time with its apex at 23:02 hours (11pm on the 15 of Aviv).

The marriage supper of the lamb
To reiterate, the aim of this study is to tie specifically the Old Testament account of when & why the Manna ceased that coincided with the Passover to the LORD’s Supper for determining a possible Rapture time sequence. Perhaps it is a type of how the Rapture could be inferred as the LORD’s Supper was not actually the Passover Meal that the LORD & His Disciples were celebrating. The correlation is such that the LORD’s Supper is an event yet to be concluded much like the cessation of the Manna.

This study puts forth an assertion that the LORD’s Supper, that was celebrated with the Disciples on the eve of a Passover, has yet to be completed perhaps at such a similar time in the future corresponding to an ‘eve of a Passover’ at some future date but at the SAME time. The hypothesis stipulates that the Marriage Supper of the Lamb is actually the conclusion of the LORD’s Supper in which the LORD Himself will complete with the consummation of the Bride in Glory. The LORD’s Supper on the Preparation Day can be seen as the ‘start’ of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The LORD’s Supper is to thus be completed at the summonsing of the Bride – as promised by the LORD Himself to return for Her.

Until such a time, the elements of the Church Age, the Bread & Wine are reminiscent of the Manna the Israelites had throughout the wilderness journey. The Bride of Christ have been observed this ‘promise’ of return by the, the Church for over 2000 years now. This has characterized the Church Age that is about to end very soon; the Church will be ‘Raptured’ out of the ‘wilderness’ & into the ‘Promised Land’. The Israelites were taken out of Egypt & into the ‘Promised Land’ by way of an Open Door.

Thus the symbology of the LORD’s Supper that utilized Unleavened Bread & Wine will stop once the Church Age stops. Again, this is only speculation & taken only from how Israel came out from Egypt & how the Manna stopped once Israel was in the Promised Land. As to what the Tribulation Saints and/or those that will be saved during the Tribulation Period will use or be instructed by the LORD remains to be understood & for another study.

Perhaps the Elements of the Bread & Wine of the LORD’s Supper will continue to be observed but with application & enfaces referencing to the 2nd Coming & not the Rapture that the current Church Age Saints await. Also as to weather the Rapture will be before or after a given Passover remains to be further studied. The hypothesis thus suggests that this cessation of the LORD’s Supper will stop with the Rapture’s Open Door, to usher the Bride, the Church to the banqueting Halls of Glory for the completion of the Meal.

THE CUP OF COMPLETION
Many understand that during the LORD’s Supper, on the eve of Passover, the 4th Cup of Completion was not passed around & partaken of by the LORD or the Disciples. This was the Cup in which Christ promised not to take it until He would again do so in the Kingdom with His Disciples or ‘Bride’. This study only asserts that perhaps that the LORD’s Supper was indeed the beginning of the Marital Contract between the Groom, Christ & the Disciples, the Bride.

This interpretation has already had many papers written about such future prophetic associations that perhaps the Marriage Supper of the Lamb spoken in Revelation is when this will take place. What this study seeks to emphasize, as far as the Rapture is concerned, is that it would be at a similar timing or sequence; on the eve or association with a Passover eve.

What is peculiar about this time sequence in the LORD’s Supper is that the LORD & the Disciples departed the Supper around midnight for the Garden of Gethsemane to pray & battle the strongholds of satan’s kingdom – type of a ‘Jericho’. What this study postulates is that this is actually the possible Rapture timing of when the LORD will come back for His Disciples to complete the 4th Cup & complete the Marital Contract first begun at the LORD’s Supper in the Upper Room.

This time sequence would have coincided when the Manna being stopped for Israel once in the Promised Land as Israel under Joshua (Jesus) battled the Stronghold of Jericho. It would coincide with being the 3rd Day, a Tuesday & at a ‘midnight calling’. Again, this study only suggests that the season or even the timing for the Rapture is somehow associated with the timing of a future Passover when the Elements of the Church Age, like Manna for Israel will stop.

Perhaps these types & shadows from Israel’s Exodus –of going out & going in, giving & stopping of Manna is how the LORD will deal with the evacuation & call for His Bride. As to the timing of the Rapture, the LORD’s Supper was & is a Marital Contract to be completed. Perhaps it will be at a similar hour & date associated to a future Passover time.

As the LORD starting the Church Age with such Elements of His Blood & Body just before a Passover, represented by Unleavened Bread & Wine, might the Church Age be completed during such a similar season or time that will be initiated by the Rapture? Perhaps as the Elements were given to the corporate Body of Believers’, this need for the Elements will be removed as the Church will be removed at the time of the Rapture from the world. It will be as when the Manna stopped for Israel but only after coming into the Promised Land.

The Hidden Manna
The Church, collectively the Bride of Christ, since the implementation of the LORD’s Supper has been on a ration much like the Israelites -of a sort with a ‘Manna’ during this world’s ‘wonderings’. This Church Age ‘Manna’ would be the elements of the Bread & Wine symbolizing the LORD’s provision of this entire Body & Blood given for the redemption of Mankind. The Gospel of John clearly states that Jesus is the True Manna that came down from Heaven. Furthermore, in Revelation, the LORD declares that there is still a ‘Hidden Manna’ available.

If the typology of the Manna that was provided by the LORD during the Sojourning of the Israelites is likened to the elements of the LORD’s Supper elements, The completion of Christ’s Promise to conclude the ‘meal’ celebration of the Upper Room in the Kingdom or the Marriage Supper of the Lamb -post Rapture, correlated to the having the Rapture correspond to a Pre-Passover Eve time, at some point in time when & if the Rapture occurs. Until that time, the present condition for the Church has been a time period of trial & tribulation allowed by the LORD. The current Church Age has been time of testing for the Church to go through much like the Israelites experienced the 40 years of ‘trial’ in the wilderness before the next generation was allowed to go into the Promised Land.

The coming deliverance for the Church & entrance into Glory will not occur until the Captain of our Salvation, Joshua will Rapture the Church out from the ‘wilderness’ of the world & into the Promised Land where the Manna stopped right after celebrating Passover. Interestingly, after the Israelites came into the Promised Land and the Passover was observed the ‘judgment’ upon the people of Jericho ensued. What is coming ahead, in the prophetic clock or timetable of the LORD after the Rapture will likewise be the ‘judgment’ of the world, a type of ‘Jericho’. Jericho literally means ‘city of man, descending’.

A historical context
The following segments will highlight some Biblical spiritual lessons from Israel’s Exodus to provide historical context for this study. Many students of the Bible clearly allude to the sequence of the Israelites leaving Egypt for the Promised Land as a spiritual journey or landscape of a Believer in Christ. It is a corporate measure, but it can be applied to an individual level as well. It tells a story of the comprehensive Redemptive Plan in Christ Jesus. If this is true, then the Rapture should be able to be seen or discerned likewise from the same lessons of the types & shadows of the Exodus.


The going out of Egypt on Passover & the going into the Promised Land at a Passover can be seen as “DOORS’’; a door to go out from & a door to go in through. This sequence would correlate with the Rapture being the event or Door that takes the Church out of the ‘world’ & into Glory or the ‘Promised Land’. The 40 years of wondering was for the Israelites to complete their ‘testing’ in the wilderness, perhaps the Church will start eating of the food of the Promised Land’s grain/fruit after their 2000 year plus testing as well. Perhaps it will be at the start of the Year, in the Spring; at a Passover time when the Rapture Door is to be opened as the Trumpet Call & Shout are given to cross over.

The Bondage in Egypt
Moses –a type of Messiah or Christ was chosen to lead GOD’s people out of the Land of Bondage, Egypt…..Moses was a shepherd, of the royal house within Egypt itself. GOD had to pry open the clutches of Pharaoh through the 10 Plagues & ultimately the death of the 1st Born at Passover to let Israel leave Egypt. GOD provided a shield from the Judgment of Egypt by ‘passing’ over the homes of those that had ‘the Blood of the Lamb’ applied to their door ways. That very night after the meal, all of Israel moved out as they had eaten the Passover Meal in haste. Jesus Christ prophetically fulfilled this type. Christ on the Cross ‘passed’ over humanity as the Judgment for sin was totally absorbed by Christ, the 1st Born or Only Begotten SON of GOD in this Body.

Moses, as the Type of Christ, led the Israelites out to the desert to worship the LORD. Thereafter he led the Israelites to the edge of the Red Sea. By the Hand of the LORD, the waters parted to allow the Israelites to cross over out of Egypt on dry ground. This was the 1st ‘Gate’ or door if you will associated with the ‘Silver Gate of death in cosmology. It was a ‘gate’ or door of death for the world i.e. the drowned Egyptians but life & liberty for the Israelites, as they had to go down & through it. It was a type of the Baptism as well. There are several types of Baptism mentioned in the Bible, 7 to be exact; this one involved water but the people were kept dry. Nonetheless it was symbolic of how a believer, once accepting Christ, the Holy Sprit emerges a Believer into Christ in association into the death, burial and resurrection of the LORD’s body itself.

This is where the ‘New Nature’ is acquired. There is a debate about whether a Believer has 1 New Nature, or the Old & New both in operation; suffice to say that for the purpose of this study, they are 2. This can be seen in with the multitude of company that was a mix of the 12 Tribes of Israel. The ‘congregation’ had a mix of ‘wheat’ & ‘tares’; it included those that like Ruth followed the GOD of Israel but also others that just tagged along the way. Not just Israel but a Gentile Non-Jewish accompaniment like it is now with the Church Age, of the New Man in Christ both Jews & Gentiles also characterizes the present Church Age.

The Sojourn
Although the Israelites were elated that they had been ‘set free’ from the ‘bondage of Egypt’, most if not all were subject to the conditioning of the old ‘man’ or the ways of the world. This is what the Apostle Paul declared that there is a carnal Man, a Soulish Man & a Spiritual Man. The 2nd stage of the typology of the Israelite Exodus features a time of testing as the LORD Himself said & stated had to occur.

At one point, the murmuring of the Israelites got to the point that the LORD sent in snakes to inflict death on those murmuring. Moses had to create a Bronze Snake & place it on a pole in the midst of the Congregation. Those that by faith would see the snake would be cured. This type & shadow is one in particular that Christ Himself alluded to Nicodemus, a Teacher of Israel had to occur by His Crucifixion. It is interesting that where Moses was buried on Mt. Nebo, on the East side of the Jordon today is the prominent replica of the Bronze Snake that is directly in line with Mt. Calvary.

Sadly, the entire Congregation failed the testing. All but Joshua & Caleb of the original generation were found worthy to enter the Promised Land, included Moses & Aaron themselves. The main issue or issues was the heart condition. Most had ‘left their heart back in Egypt. There was much complaint & times of doubt, fear & contention….just like the state a Soulish Believer may find himself in.


This typology can easy be seen as when a Believer individually or in the corporate sense of the present Church Age is being tested like the Israelites. Sadly, 2 tribes wanted to stay on the East side and not go were the LORD’s people and Captain was leading them, the LORD allowed for this. I am not alluding that some Christians will be left behind but that given just the typology of this study; perhaps that may be the case for the Church Age as well.

The Promised Land
The Israelites eventually got to the point where they encompassed the East side of the River Jordon. This is the 2nd ‘Gate’ or door of immersion that a Believer has to go through -and the Corporate body i.e. the Church for that matter. This Gate is associated with the ‘Golden Gate’ of life in cosmology. When the unbelieving generation passed, the new ones were ready, willing & able to press on into the Promised Land of Canaan led by Joshua.

As the Israelites all had to go down into the Red Sea symbolizing a death to the world and coming up on the other side as a re-birth to new life in Christ, the Jordon provided the other supernatural event in the LORD comprehensive plan of man’s redemption, the Rapture of the Church. It will be through the Golden Gate that it is said the Church will be led through once the trumpet is sounded. The waters of the Jordon parted when the Israelites by faith, stepped into the water led by the Priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant.

Aside from this, the LORD is faithful to know the condition & needs of the Church & how to provide for them. He is leading His Church as with a Moses, Aaron & Joshua….a befitting type of the Father, the Holy Spirit and the ‘Captain of our Salvation’, Jesus. Because the Church is currently in enemy territory, the daily provisions of Manna can be seen as the MRI’s that an army is allotted during combat & field movement. It is the bare essential but provides the nutrition needed to sustain the level of energy required to complete the task, the mission and tour of duty.

Student of Bible Prophecy understand that the next Event on the prophetic horizon is the Rapture Call to enter the ‘Door’ into Glory. At that time, Jesus Himself as promised would be completing at the Meal first commenced at the LORD’s Supper right before a Passover. Thus the hypothesis is that the completion of the Upper Room Passover celebration that has yet to be completed by Christ himself could perhaps correspond to the Rapture of the Church to have it be fulfilled in a similar Passover time sequence. Christ left that Supper at Midnight; perhaps He is to return at that same hour to conclude it.

However, having the Rapture occur on the Eve of such a feast associated to Passover would be a time no one could or would expect. Again, this is pure speculation based on the typology of the sequence coming out of the type & show of the Exodus to the Promised Land with the key element of Manna as being the clue that at its cessation, leads to the transition into the Kingdom, the real Promised Land of the LORD beginning with the Rapture.

There are questions still to be answered like will the Lord’s Supper still be commemorated during the Tribulation Period? It might be self-evident but with the mass persecution of Christians on a world scale, such public displays of devotion could be detrimental. When the LORD said, ‘do this in remembrance of me until I come’, is that referring to the time of the Rapture or 2nd coming? If it is referring to the Rapture event, then there will be no need for such elements to remember because He came, if His instructions are referring to His 2nd Coming, then the elements of Bread & Wine will still be relevant during the Tribulation. This is just one example of the complexity and depth of the Scriptures.
