"7th day of Feast of Tabernacles"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1st Corinthians 15:52

"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last (Eschatos) trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
John 7:37

"In the last (Eschatos) day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink."
Notice...

The word for "last" in terms of the "last trump" in 1st Corinthians 15:52 is the SAME EXACT word for "last" in terms of the "last day" in John 7:37 which is in reference to the 7th day of Tabernacles!

So, according to the Greek word study of these two passages...

The "Escatos" trump will be blown on the "Eschatos" day...The 7th day of Tabernacles!!!

To clarify, there are only TWO Greek words for "last" in the New Testament and they are "Eschatos" and "Hysteros". The word Hysteros simply means "afterward, coming after, after this, or later" This word has no prophetic meaning whatsoever but rather is just a word signifying next in line in an order of events happening one after another.

Only the word "Eschatos" has any mysterious or major prophetic meaning attached to it's meaning, which is why it is the word used to identify the "trump of God". Is it a coincidence that the rapture trumpet or blast of God's voice uses the very same word that the Holy Spirit inspired to identify the FINAL DAY OF TABERNACLES?

Hardly!

What is this saying?

I believe it is a clear prophetic message hidden in plain sight that the "LAST" or "ESCHATOS" trump will be blown on the "LAST" or "ESCHATOS" day of Tabernacles, the 7th day!

The 7th day of Tabernacles is the ONLY specified day in scripture that is identified by the word "ESCHATOS", which just so happens to be the same word used to describe the trump of God!

Not only does the exquisite Greek New Testament scripture connect the last trump to the 7th day of Tabernacles, the ancient Jewish wedding clearly depicts the 7th day of Tabernacles as the time the bride enters the heavenly Huppah, the rapture!
There are TWO main sections to the ancient Jewish wedding...

The Erusin & Nisuin

The Erusin: Meaning Betrothal or SANCTIFICATION

The Nisuin: Meaning Marriage or WEDDING

When the bride and groom have reached the Huppah [marriage canopy], the erusin ceremony begins, meaning the Erusin must take place first in preparation for the coming marriage consummation in the marriage or wedding canopy. The Erusin of the ancient Jewish wedding would consists of:

1.) The groom would pay a price of his bridegroom A.K.A the "bridal price"!

2.) The groom and bride would share a cup of wine together!

3.) The groom would give gifts to his bride!

4.) The marriage contract would be agreed upon and kept by the bride until the consummation of the marriage, the wedding!

5.) The groom would return to his father's house to prepare a place for his bride upon his return!

These 5 steps are the meat of the ancient Jewish wedding Erusin section of the wedding, or the BETROTHAL, meaning SANCTIFICATION IN HEBREW!

These ancient Jewish wedding Betrothal steps align PERFECT with the relationship between Jesus and his bride, the church according to the scripture. Since the Betrothal is called the sanctification, this means the Erusin section of the wedding process is to "SANCTIFY" the bride in preparation for there coming wedding under the Huppah.

The scripture confirms the Erusin has ALREADY taken place between Jesus Christ and his bride, see...

1.) Jesus, the groom, paid the bridal price with his own blood on the cross making the church "bought with a great price". (BRIDAL PRICE PAID).

2.) Jesus, the groom, share the cup of wine his disciples (early church bride) at the last supper!

3.) Jesus, the groom, has given gifts unto his bride, the "gifts of the spirit"!
4.) The bride, the church, has agreed to the marriage contract between the two, which is the WORD OF GOD!

5.) Jesus, the groom, has left to go "prepare a place for us" and will return to consummate the marriage in heaven.

Now, remember, the Erusin (5 steps above) made us BETROTHED to Christ, thus SANCTIFIED to him. Now, the incredible part is that the Erusin ceremony or SANCTIFICATION of the bride was initiated during the season of Passover/Unleavened Bread with his DEATH (bridal price) and the sharing of the cup of wine with the disciples. It just so happens the Passover/Unleavened Bread season is symbolic of SANCTIFICATION!!!

The meaning of the unleavened bread, as can be clearly seen in 1Corinthians 5:6-8, relates to getting the sin out of one’s life; i.e., sanctification, or BETROTHAL IN HEBREW, thus the Erusin!

The feast of Unleavened Bread is a symbol of us being SANCTIFIED or "SET APART" with Christ from the world, thus enabling us to be officially betrothed to Christ, thus completing the Erusin ceremony between Jesus and his bride. The feast of Pentecost is symbolic of the OFFICIAL betrothal or engagement of Jesus and the church. Just like natural Israel became SANCTIFIED or SET APART from Egypt during the feast of Unleavened Bread, in preparation of their betrothal to God on Pentecost....

...The church (spiritual Israel) were spiritually SET APART and SANCTIFIED unto Christ during the feast of Unleavened Bread in preparation of our betrothal to Christ, which is symbolized by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. Israel became betrothed to God at Mount Sinai when the LAW was given to them on stone tablets. In like manner, the church was officially betrothed to Jesus on Pentecost, after being spiritually prepared (sanctified) during Passover/Unleavened Bread.

The law became "written on our hearts" as to on stone tablets.

The PHYSICAL SANCTIFICATION (setting apart) of Israel during Passover/Unleavened Bread was rehearsal to the SPIRITUAL SANCTIFICATION (setting apart) of the church during Passover/Unleavened Bread!

The BETROTHAL or ENGAGEMENT of Israel to God on Pentecost with the giving of the LAW on stone after being prepared during Passover was a rehearsal to the betrothal between Jesus and his church on Pentecost, with the "writing of the law on our hearts" after being prepared during Passover!

The feast of Passover/Unleavened are a symbol of SANCTIFICATION or in terms of the ancient Jewish wedding, the ERUSIN or betrothal preparation.

The feast of Pentecost is a symbol of the official betrothal or engagement or in terms of the ancient Jewish wedding, the completion of the betrothal ceremony!!!
If you notice, these feasts days are Unleavened Bread and Pentecost thus far...Which are 2 of the 3 harvest festivals of God. What is the third one?
Let me not get ahead of myself...

So, the 1st section of the ancient Jewish wedding or the Erusin ceremony was prophetically fulfilled in relation to Christ and his church on the feast of Unleavened Bread and Pentecost!

Since the rapture is a "type of harvest" and there are ONLY 3 harvest festivals of God, the rapture (harvest of believers) must take place on one of these 3 feasts!
The Nisuin (final part of the ancient Jewish wedding) literally means "marriage ceremony or wedding" and comes from the word meaning "ELEVATION" and COMPLETES the process of marriage! Even though the chatan and kallah are legally bound to each other as husband and wife at the completion of the eursin (THE CHURCH AGE BEGINNING TO NOW), the wedding ceremony is not yet complete. This is when the husband brings the wife into his home he prepared and they begin their married life together!!

The word Nisuin can also mean "Huppah", which is where the groom comes and take the bride to.

Our Huppah will be a HEAVENLY ONE

This ceremony begins with the bride entering into the Huppah with her beloved and ends when they come out for the people to see. Now, since rapture or harvesting of believers must occur on a "harvest festival of God" (common sense huh!)...
...And the first two harvest festivals (Unleavened Bread and Pentecost) were fulfilled with the Erusin or our betrothal to Christ...

This means the Nisuin or Huppah ceremony must take place during the feast of Tabernacles, the feast of IN-GATHERING!

The four months separating the last fulfilled harvest festival for the church (Pentecost), and the last harvesting festival of Tabernacles is symbolic of the time the groom is preparing a place for her and refreshing herself with the marriage contract (Word of God), A.K.A, the church age!!!

The Huppah was a tapestry with four poles on on the four corners, which is EXACTLY what a Tabernacle or tent looks like. Actually, Tabernacles were DECORATED to be used as a WEDDING HUPPAH! The Nisuin ceremony or "home taking" as what some call it took place under a Sukkah, or Tabernacle!

The feast of Tabernacles is a clear depiction of the groom and bride entering into their heavenly chambers to consummate the wedding, which is the feast of IN-GATHERING! What day of Tabernacles?

Well, check this out...

There is another Jewish tradition that is confirmed in the word of God which is on the day the groom and bride enter the Huppah, the bride would IN-CIRCLE her groom "7 times" around the wedding altar!

Jeremiah 31:22

"For the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass (CIRCLE) a man."

WoW

Well, during the feast of Tabernacles, the people would circle the great altar once a day for the first 6 days, but on the 7th and FINAL DAY, they would CIRCLE THE GREAT ALTAR 7 times! Well, it just so happens that in the ancient Jewish wedding, the bride would CIRCLE the groom 7 times around the wedding altar!
When will this ancient Jewish tradition (and God's command) be fulfilled with Christ and the church? It will be fulfilled on the 7th day of Tabernacles, which is the only day the people would CIRCLE the altar 7 times....

In line with the ancient Jewish wedding ceremony of the Nisuin!!!

So...

Passover/Unleavened/Pentecost - TWO HARVEST FESTIVALS OF GOD FULFILLED THE ERUISN!
Feast of Tabernacles - LAST HARVEST FESTIVAL OF GOD FULFILLS THE NISUIN, the elevating of the church under the Huppah with our groom...On the LAST (ESCHATOS) day of Tabernacles, at the LAST (ESCHATOS) trump!!!!

The only day that fulfills the ancient Jewish wedding ceremony of the Nisun in the 7th day of Tabernacles called Hoshanah Rabba, the day of our "GREAT SALVATION", the same day Jesus cried out with a loud voice ...

This day is October 7th, 2012!
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!!!


See you in the air!!
